[PATCH 00/11] TTY patches for 5.18

[PATCH 00/11] TTY patches for 5.18

[Jiri Slaby]

These are small random cleanups and improvements I came across while
doing larger cleanups which are not finished yet. So flushing only these
from my queue at this very moment for 5.18.

Jiri Slaby (11):
  serial: core: clean up EXPORT_SYMBOLs
  serial: atmel_serial: include circ_buf.h
  tty: add kfifo to tty_port
  tty: tty_port_open, document shutdown vs failed activate
  mxser: fix xmit_buf leak in activate when LSR == 0xff
  mxser: use tty_port xmit_buf helpers
  mxser: switch from xmit_buf to kfifo
  serial: fsl_linflexuart: deduplicate character sending
  serial: fsl_linflexuart: don't call uart_write_wakeup() twice
  serial: make uart_console_write->putchar()'s character a char
  serial: mcf: use helpers in mcf_tx_chars()

[PATCH 01/11] serial: core: clean up EXPORT_SYMBOLs

[Jiri Slaby]

Some EXPORT_SYMBOLs are grouped at one location. Some follow functions
they export, but a newline is present before them. Fix all these and
move them where they belong.

[PATCH 02/11] serial: atmel_serial: include circ_buf.h

[Jiri Slaby]

atmel_uart_port::rx_ring is defined as struct circ_buf, but circ_buf.h
is not included explicitly in atmel_serial.c. It is included only
implicitly via serial_core.h. Fix this as serial_core.h might not
include that header in the future.

[PATCH 03/11] tty: add kfifo to tty_port

[Jiri Slaby]

Define a kfifo inside struct tty_port. We use DECLARE_KFIFO_PTR and let
the preexisting tty_port::xmit_buf be also the buffer for the kfifo.
And handle the initialization/decomissioning along with xmit_buf, i.e.
in tty_port_alloc_xmit_buf() and tty_port_free_xmit_buf(), respectively.

This allows for kfifo use in drivers which opt-in, while others still
may use the old xmit_buf. mxser will be the first user in the next
few patches.

[PATCH 05/11] mxser: fix xmit_buf leak in activate when LSR == 0xff

[Jiri Slaby]

When LSR is 0xff in ->activate() (rather unlike), we return an error.
Provided ->shutdown() is not called when ->activate() fails, nothing
actually frees the buffer in this case.

Fix this by properly freeing the buffer in a designated label. We jump
there also from the "!info->type" if now too.

[PATCH 06/11] mxser: use tty_port xmit_buf helpers

[Jiri Slaby]

For the mxser driver to use kfifo, use tty_port_alloc_xmit_buf() and
tty_port_free_xmit_buf() helpers in activate/shutdown, respectively.

As these calls have to be done in a non-atomic context, we have to move
them outside spinlock and make sure irq is really stopped after we write
to the ISR register.

[PATCH 07/11] mxser: switch from xmit_buf to kfifo

[Jiri Slaby]

Use kfifo for xmit buffer handling. The change is mostly
straightforward. It saves complexity both on the stuffing side
(mxser_write() and mxser_put_char()) and pulling side
(mxser_transmit_chars()). In fact, the loop in mxser_write() can be
completely deleted as the wrap of the buffer is taken care of in the
kfifo code now.

[PATCH 08/11] serial: fsl_linflexuart: deduplicate character sending

[Jiri Slaby]

Introduce a new linflex_put_char() helper to send a character. And use
it on both places this code was duplicated.

[PATCH 09/11] serial: fsl_linflexuart: don't call uart_write_wakeup() twice

[Jiri Slaby]

linflex_txint() calls linflex_transmit_buffer() which calls
uart_write_wakeup(). So there is no point to repeat it in
linflex_txint() again -- remove it.

[PATCH 10/11] serial: make uart_console_write->putchar()'s character a char

[Jiri Slaby]

Currently, uart_console_write->putchar's second parameter (the
character) is of type int. It makes little sense, provided uart_console_write()
accepts the input string as "const char *s" and passes its content -- the
characters -- to putchar(). So switch the character's type also to char.

This makes the types consistent.

[PATCH 11/11] serial: mcf: use helpers in mcf_tx_chars()

[Jiri Slaby]

Use uart_circ_empty() instead of open-coding it via xmit->head & tail.
Use preexisting mcf_stop_tx() to avoid stop-tx code duplication.

 Hmm, this is unsafe, because on the MIPS target the lone `char' type is 
signed and therefore a call to `->putchar' will see `ch' sign-extended 
from bit #7 to the width of the argument register used.  Which means that 
if a character is sent to the console that has its bit #7 set, then the 
call to:

		dz_out(dport, DZ_TDR, ch);

i.e.:

static void dz_out(struct dz_port *dport, unsigned offset, u16 value)

will send a value to DZ_TDR with bits #15:8 set to all-ones.  And bits 
#11:8 there are the BREAK control bits, active high, for serial lines #3:0 
respectively.

 We could handle this with a preparatory change by calling:

		dz_out(dport, DZ_TDR, ch & 0xffu);

instead, but perhaps `->putchar' should simply take `unsigned char' or 
maybe even `u8' as its third argument?

 I.e.:

			void (*putchar)(struct uart_port *, unsigned char));

I can see we get it right already with:

	unsigned char		x_char;			/* xon/xoff char */

and for `dz_transmit_chars' we have:

	unsigned char tmp;
[...]
	tmp = xmit->buf[xmit->tail];
	xmit->tail = (xmit->tail + 1) & (DZ_XMIT_SIZE - 1);
	dz_out(dport, DZ_TDR, tmp);

(because `struct circ_buf' is generic and not limited to unsigned buffer 
contents interpretation; it's not clear to me if that has been intended 
though).

Thanks, good point. I was considering unsigned char and concluded not go 
that path right now as the rest of the console world uses char -- 
starting from the printk code. OTOH the whole uart world uses 'unsigned 
char' except that circ_buf. But I am phasing circ_buf out in favor of 
kfifo+unsigned-char anyway.

So let me switch the whole uart (the console code in particular) to an 
unsigned world. Meaning printk will pass char, uart will receive it as 
unsigned char and will keep it unsigned in all cases.

thanks,
