This patchset is based on the patchset by Leif Lindholm [1] 'ARM Server Base Boot Requirements' [2] mentions SPCR (Serial Port Console Redirection Table) [3] as a mandatory ACPI table that specifies the configuration of serial console. SPCR support is included in QEMU's ARM mach-virt since 2.4 release. Introduce a new function acpi_console_check(). At the uart port registration, this function checks if the ACPI SPCR table specifies its argument of type struct uart_port to be a console and if so calls add_preferred_console(). Use SPCR to tell if SBSA serial driver should use 32-bit access to registers. To be able to access SPCR table each time any console is registered change __init to __ref for early_acpi_os_unmap_memory(). The patchset should be applied to tty-next. v3: Greg Kroah-Hartman did not like v2 so I have rewritten this patchset: - drop acpi_match() member of struct console - drop implementations of this member for pl011 and 8250 - drop the patch that renames some vars in printk.c as it is not needed anymore - drpo patch that introduces system wide acpi_table_parse2(). Instead introduce a custom acpi_table_parse_spcr() in spcr.c Instead of introducing a new match_acpi() member of struct console, this patchset introduces a new function acpi_console_check(). This function is called when a new uart is registered at serial_core.c the same way OF code checks for console. If the registered uart is the console specified by SPCR table, this function calls add_preferred_console() The restrictions of this approach are: - only serial consoles can be set up - only consoles specified by the memory/io address can be set up (SPCR can specify devices by PCI id/PCI address) v2: https://lkml.kernel.org/g/1455299022-11641-1-git-send-email-aleksey.makarov@linaro.org - don't use SPCR if user specified console in command line - fix initialization order of newcon->index = 0 - rename some variables at printk.c (Joe Perches, Peter Hurley) - enable ACPI_SPCR_TABLE in a separate patch (Andy Shevchenko) - remove the retry loop for console registering (Peter Hurley). Instead, obtain SPCR with acpi_get_table(). That works after call to acpi_early_init() i. e. in any *_initcall() - describe design decision behind introducing acpi_match() (Peter Hurley) - fix compilation for x86 + ACPI (Graeme Gregory) - introduce DBG2 constants in a separate patch (Andy Shevchenko) - fix a typo in DBG2 constants (Andy Shevchenko) - add ACPI_DBG2_ARM_SBSA_32BIT constant (Christopher Covington) - add support for ACPI_DBG2_ARM_SBSA_* consoles (Christopher Covington) - add documentation for functions - add a patch that uses SPCR to find if SBSA serial driver should use 32-bit accessor functions (Christopher Covington) - change __init to __ref for early_acpi_os_unmap_memory() in a separate patch - introduce acpi_table_parse2() in a separate patch - fix fetching the SPCR table early (Mark Salter) - add a patch from Mark Salter that introduces support for matching 8250-based consoles v1: https://lkml.kernel.org/g/1453722324-22407-1-git-send-email-aleksey.makarov@linaro.org [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/g/1441716217-23786-1-git-send-email-leif.lindholm@linaro.org [2] http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.den0044a/index.html [3] https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn639132(v=vs.85).aspx Aleksey Makarov (5): ACPI: change __init to __ref for early_acpi_os_unmap_memory() ACPI: parse SPCR and enable matching console ACPI: enable ACPI_SPCR_TABLE on ARM64 ACPI: add definition of DBG2 subtypes serial: pl011: use SPCR to setup 32-bit access arch/arm64/Kconfig | 1 + drivers/acpi/Kconfig | 3 + drivers/acpi/Makefile | 1 + drivers/acpi/osl.c | 6 +- drivers/acpi/spcr.c | 122 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/tty/serial/amba-pl011.c | 2 + drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c | 14 ++++- include/acpi/actbl2.h | 5 ++ include/linux/acpi.h | 15 +++++ 9 files changed, 166 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/acpi/spcr.c -- 2.7.1
