Commit 3e6c6f630a5282df8f3393a59f10eb9c56536d23 ("Delay creation of
khcvd thread") moved the call of hvc_init from being a device_initcall
into hvc_alloc, and used a non-null hvc_driver as indication of whether
hvc_init had already been called.The problem with this is that hvc_driver is only assigned a value
at the bottom of hvc_init, and so there is a window where multiple
hvc_alloc calls can be in progress at the same time and hence try
and call hvc_init multiple times. Previously the use of device_init
guaranteed that hvc_init was only called once.This manifests itself as sporadic instances of two hvc_init calls
racing each other, and with the loser of the race getting -EBUSY
from tty_register_driver() and hence that virtual console fails:Couldn't register hvc console driver
virtio-ports vport0p1: error -16 allocating hvc for portHere we add an atomic_t to guarantee we'll never run hvc_init twice.

The HVC_OPAL/RTAS/UDBG/XEN options are all bool, and hence their support
is either present or absent. It will never be modular, so using
module_init as an alias for __initcall is rather misleading.Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing.Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one
of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets
mapped onto device_initcall, our use of device_initcall
directly in this change means that the runtime impact is
zero -- it will remain at level 6 in initcall ordering.Also the __exitcall functions have been outright deleted since
they are only ever of interest to UML, and UML will never be
using any of this code.Cc: Richard Weinberger

Add the generic "lnxhvc" terminal ID to automatically assign a HVC terminal when
connecting to the HVC IUCV terminal device driver. The terminal device driver
tries to find a free (not connected) HVC terminal to satisfy the incoming
connection request.With this improvement, you do not longer need to guess which HVC terminal is
free, that is, not connected. Also you can still connect to a particular HVC
terminal by using its associated terminal ID.Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"This has tons of fixes and two major features which are concentrated
around the Xen SWIOTLB library.The short is that the tracing facility (just one function) has
been added to SWIOTLB to make it easier to track I/O progress.
Additionally under Xen and ARM (32 & 64) the Xen-SWIOTLB driver
"is used to translate physical to machine and machine to physical
addresses of foreign[guest] pages for DMA operations" (Stefano) when
booting under hardware without proper IOMMU.There are also bug-fixes, cleanups, compile warning fixes, etc.
The commit times for some of the commits is a bit fresh - that is b/c
we wanted to make sure we have the Ack's from the ARM folks - which
with the string of back-to-back conferences took a bit of time. Rest
assured - the code has been stewing in #linux-next for some time.Features:
- SWIOTLB has tracing added when doing bounce buffer.
- Xen ARM/ARM64 can use Xen-SWIOTLB. This work allows Linux to
safely program real devices for DMA operations when running as a
guest on Xen on ARM, without IOMMU support. [*1]
- xen_raw_printk works with PVHVM guests if needed.Bug-fixes:
- Make memory ballooning work under HVM with large MMIO region.
- Inform hypervisor of MCFG regions found in ACPI DSDT.
- Remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED.
- Remove deprecated __cpuinit.[*1]:
"On arm and arm64 all Xen guests, including dom0, run with second
stage translation enabled. As a consequence when dom0 programs a
device for a DMA operation is going to use (pseudo) physical
addresses instead machine addresses. This work introduces two trees
to track physical to machine and machine to physical mappings of
foreign pages. Local pages are assumed mapped 1:1 (physical address
== machine address). It enables the SWIOTLB-Xen driver on ARM and
ARM64, so that Linux can translate physical addresses to machine
addresses for dma operations when necessary. " (Stefano)"* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.13-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip: (32 commits)

The xen_raw_printk works great for debugging purposes. We use
for PV guests and we can also use it for HVM guests.However, for HVM guests we have a fallback of using the 0xe9
port in case the hypervisor does not support an HVM guest of
using the console_io hypercall. As such lets use 0xe9 during
early bootup, and once the hyper-page is setup and if the
console_io hypercall is supported - use that. Otherwise we
will fallback to using the 0xe9 after early bootup.We also alter the return value for dom0_write_console to return
an error value instead of zero. The HVC API has been supporting
returning error values for quite some time.P.S.
To use (and to see the output in the Xen ring buffer) one has to build
the hypervisor with 'debug=y'.Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

This change improves and cleans up the tile console.
- We enable HVC_IRQ support on tilegx, with the addition of a new
Tilera hypervisor API for tilegx to allow a console IPI. If IPI
support is not available we fall back to the previous polling mode.- We simplify the earlyprintk code to use CON_BOOT and eliminate some
of the other supporting earlyprintk code.- A new tile_console_write() primitive is used to send output to
the console and is factored out of the hvc_tile driver.
This lets us support a "sim_console" boot argument to allow using
simulator hooks to send output to the "console" as a slightly
faster alternative to emulating the hardware more directly.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by
removing TTY. The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk
'$3 != "-"' as the list was very long.add/remove: 0/226 grow/shrink: 2/14 up/down: 6/-35356 (-35350)

Use for_each_compatible_node() macro instead of open coding it.

Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use
tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty in many
call sites. Only tty_port will needed and hence no more
tty_port_tty_get in those paths.Now, the one where most of tty_port_tty_get gets removed:
tty_flip_buffer_push.IOW we also closed all the races in drivers not using tty_port_tty_get
at all yet.Also we move tty_flip_buffer_push declaration from include/linux/tty.h
to include/linux/tty_flip.h to all others while we are changing it
anyway.Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby
