and place the definition in <machine/types.h>. This can now be used
as a flag to indicate whether or not <machine/intr.h> can be included
to get the generic soft interrupt API.
(comsoft() can be invoked before comopen() on serial consoles; a character
received before the console is opened "for real" can result in a fatal trap
unless the ring buffer pointers are initialized early)
when running at splserial(). This is a temporary measure (until
there's a MP-safe interrupt handling structure); until then, it should
be used when MULTIPROCESSOR and IPL_SERIAL > IPL_SCHED.
break character with the supplied one. This is useful for cases where
break is hard to generate, or you are connected to a PC that "sends"
breaks when power cycled. For this mode in com, interpret break char
in the polling section, which allows entry into the debugger before
the tty is opened. Only supported in the com driver currently.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
if the line discipline is ignoring carrier (e.g., via comparam()'s
setting of sc->sc_msr_mask). Move PPS timestamp outside the normal
status-change processing, and ignore sc_msr_mask when testing
for PPS events.
* The fact that IIR_NOPEND was not set on entry does *not* mean that no
transmission was in progress. Besides, we don't want to throw away receive
interrupts either.
* In the !clearirq case, we didn't splx().
1. don't clear the irq unless it was clear before transmitting
2. also do various bus_space_barrier() ops
Stops console from freezing when kprintf interrupts tty driver output.
- In the console getc routine, block until a character becomes ready
(no, really, we mean it). This routine should _never_ time out.
- In the console putc routine, if the UART has trouble, do NOT proceed
to print a diagnostic message, which would recursively invoke the
console putc routine ad nauseum.
