* hvc_console: Add a hangup notifier for backendsHendrik Brueckner2008-10-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | I have added a hangup notifier that can be used by hvc console backends to handle a tty hangup. The default irq hangup notifier calls the notifier_del_irq() for compatibility.

* xen: clean up domain mode predicatesJeremy Fitzhardinge2008-08-201-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are four operating modes Xen code may find itself running in: - native - hvm domain - pv dom0 - pv domU Clean up predicates for testing for these states to make them more consistent.

* hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacksChristian Borntraeger2008-07-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq. In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest) The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that use irqs (System p, System i, XEN). I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops. Changes since last version: o remove ifdef o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified" o cleanups, sparse.. I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer size constraints. I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access the irq_requested element. Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* xen-console: add save/restoreJeremy Fitzhardinge2008-05-271-4/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add code to: 1. Deal with the console page being canonicalized. During save, the console's mfn in the start_info structure is canonicalized to a pfn. In order to deal with that, we always use a copy of the pfn and indirect off that all the time. However, we fall back to using the mfn if the pfn hasn't been initialized yet. 2. Restore the console event channel, and rebind it to the existing irq. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
* xen: make earlyprintk=xen work againJeremy Fitzhardinge2008-05-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For some perverse reason, if you call add_preferred_console() it prevents setup_early_printk() from successfully enabling the boot console - unless you make it a preferred console too... Also, make xenboot console output distinct from normal console output, since it gets repeated when the console handover happens, and the duplicated output is confusing without disambiguation.

* xen: make early console also write to debug consoleJeremy Fitzhardinge2008-05-271-11/+18
| | | | | | | | | When using "earlyprintk=xen", also write the console output to the raw debug console. This will appear on dom0's console if the hypervisor has been compiled to allow it.

* xen: add raw console write functions for debugJeremy Fitzhardinge2008-05-271-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | Add a couple of functions which can write directly to the Xen console for debugging. This output ends up on the host's dom0 console (assuming it allows the domain to write there).
