[PATCH v2 0/7] Generic serial earlycon

[PATCH v2 0/7] Generic serial earlycon

[Rob Herring]

From: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>

This started out as an attempt to add arm64's earlyprintk support to ARM
in order to get an earlier, runtime setup console on multi-platform
kernels. The first issue was needing the fixmap support which
conveniently Mark Salter was working on and is mostly in place now. Like
many things on ARM and arm64 now, it then became where do I put the now
common, shared code. After digging more into various early console/printk
support, it turns out the 8250_early.c setup code was the best starting
point. 

This is tested on arm64 and ARM with pl011 and 8250. The ARM support
also requires fixmap and fixed mapping support which are not yet in place.
I have some patches in my tree to support fixmap, but they need some more
work. Fortunately, once fixmap is in place, it is just a Kconfig option
to enable earlycon support on ARM. A git tree is available here[1].

I'm also working on a follow on series which adds DT based earlycon
setup, but that is dependent on some FDT improvements to support FDT
based address translation.

[PATCH v2 2/7] tty/serial: add generic serial earlycon

[Rob Herring]

From: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>

This introduces generic earlycon infrastructure for serial devices
based on the 8250 earlycon. This allows for supporting earlycon option
with other serial devices. The earlycon output is enabled at the time
early_params are processed.

Only architectures that have fixmap support or have functional ioremap
when early_params are processed are supported. This is the same
restriction that the 8250 driver had.

[PATCH v2 2/7] tty/serial: add generic serial earlycon

[Rob Herring]

From: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>

This introduces generic earlycon infrastructure for serial devices
based on the 8250 earlycon. This allows for supporting earlycon option
with other serial devices. The earlycon output is enabled at the time
early_params are processed.

Only architectures that have fixmap support or have functional ioremap
when early_params are processed are supported. This is the same
restriction that the 8250 driver had.

v2:
- Use set_fixmap_io/ioremap instead of set_fixmap_nocache/ioremap_nocache.
- Do the mapping outside of option parsing function.

Hi Greg, Rob

This one in tty-next breaks booting: "console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,115200".
No early console and regular console anymore.

It should produce "early con and regular con".

Thanks

This is what I get for running checkpatch and converting
simple_strtoul to kstrto* which are not so equivalent. kstrto* will
not convert things such as 115200n8 to a number.

Linus' tree (HEAD=963649d735c8) is spitting out all sorts of garbage
on the serial console - as if the baud rate is being periodically set
to something weird, and then back to 112500.  I see over a dozen
blocks of junk interspersed with good output.

This in on ia64 with "console=uart,io,0x3f8" on the command line.

Ah - it seems that I need to be more specific on the cmdline

     console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,115200

makes all the garbage disappear.

Do I need to update: Documentation/ia64/serial.txt
which has the example of "console=uart,io,0x3f8"?

It should do auto detect of the baud-rate if it is not specified which
for 8250 is just reading the baud-rate divider and calculating the
baud-rate using the uart clock. It should just reprogram the divider
with the same divider value. I don't see anything obvious why this
would have broken.

Something very weird is happening.  Output is good so long as I put the
trailing ",115200" on the command line.

But I made early_serial8250_setup() printk() the return value it got
from probe_baud() - in case is was somehow getting 115201 or some
other silly value ... nope. Exactly 115200.

I also can't explain why the "noise" comes and goes a dozen
times during boot,

Does some other place in the kernel look at the "uart..." command
line argument?

Would you be using drivers/firmware/pcdp.c as that is ia64 only? That
shouldn't have an impact that I can see.

Can you print the options string in serial8250_console_setup? Maybe it
is getting lost when the real console is setup.

I think I figured it out. The function 
serial8250_find_port_for_earlycon is failing to match 'uart' console to 
'ttyS' console and transfer the options. It was also failing to create 
an option string when the baud rate is probed. Can you try out the 
below patch?

For the name in early_con with "uart", please add some comments that

Is there any correlation of the garbage to printks of console enabled messages?

Does "console=ttyS0,115200" or "console=uart,io,0x3f8,115200" work?

You will need this fix for the 2nd one to work:

You removed global function, but still left declaration and calling...

That is on purpose because the only 2 users use uart8250. I consider
this a legacy interface and use of "uart" is horrible because there
are lots of uarts which are not 8250.

You want to obsolete "console=uart,io,0x3f8,115200n8" ?

 Let's check with Andrew. He suggested to use uart and uart8250 at that time.

No, that is not what I'm saying. For the 2 callers of
setup_early_serial8250_console which are crafting a console string
from firmware data, they can and do use uart8250. I don't expect this
mechanism for setting up early console to expand to other users. The
whole point of this series is to allow any uart to be supported for
earlycon. For anyone using the kernel command line, both uart and
uart8250 are still supported.

No, that is not what I'm saying. For the 2 callers of
setup_early_serial8250_console which are crafting a console string
from firmware data, they can and do use uart8250. I don't expect this
mechanism for setting up early console to expand to other users. The
whole point of this series is to allow any uart to be supported for
earlycon. For anyone using the kernel command line, both uart and
uart8250 are still supported.

That is confusing, why not keeping them consistent?

I posted one patch before about "early early console for x86", and it
is in my local tree
 for some time.support both "uart,io" and "uart8250,io".

Peter, Can you check that patch again?  --- updated version attached.
and inlined.

Subject: [PATCH -v4] x86: Setup early console as early as possible in
x86_start_kernel()

Analyze "console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,115200n8" in
i386_start_kernel/x86_64_start_kernel,
and call setup_early_serial8250_console() to init early serial console.

Only can handle io port kind of 8250, because mmio need ioremap.

Use boot_params.hdr.version instead of adding another variable,
Suggested by hpa.
Also need to apply this one after x86 memblock patchset.

[-- Attachment #2: setup_early_console_x1_pa_symbol_before_earlcon.patch --]
[-- Type: text/x-patch, Size: 4105 bytes --]

Subject: [PATCH -v4] x86: Setup early console as early as possible in x86_start_kernel()

Analyze "console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,115200n8" in i386_start_kernel/x86_64_start_kernel,
and call setup_early_serial8250_console() to init early serial console.

Only can handle io port kind of 8250, because mmio need ioremap.

Use boot_params.hdr.version instead of adding another variable, Suggested by hpa.
Also need to apply this one after x86 memblock patchset.

[PATCH v2 5/7] tty/serial: add arm/arm64 semihosting earlycon

[Rob Herring]

From: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>

Add earlycon support for the arm/arm64 semihosting debug serial
interface. This allows enabling a debug console when early_params are
processed. This is based on the arm64 earlyprintk smh support and is
intended to replace it.

The series looks fine, you can add:

Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
