* Make the ring buffer size and water marks patchable, and allocate the buffer
separately.
* Do the ttymalloc() at attach time.
* Reorganize the receive buffer so the status and data pair are next to each
other. This is slightly faster.
* Make sure we actually do turn off interrupts in comclose() if we have DDB
configured and it's not the console. (D'oh!!!!)
* When we exhaust the current transmit run, turn off transmit interrupts in
comintr(), so we're fairly sure we don't get another one.
* Nuke the silly lsrmap[] idea; it's slower in the normal case.
* Cache the l_rint pointer in the soft interrupt routine.
Dave Huang <khym@bga.com>, with added check for broken early versions
of the 16650, taken from the Linux driver.
This should be extended to use, for example, higher trigger levels for
the bigger 16650 FIFO, and its capability for using a smaller divisor
and thus higher speeds. But this patch is very useful for 16650 users
already.
options RND_COM
in your kernel config file (along with the
pseudo-device rnd
line) to enable this. If results are positive, I will make this enabled
by default.
* support chip clocks != COM_FREQ, by introducing sc_frequency (for the
mainline code) and adding a frequency parameter right after the rate
parameter to comcnattach() and com_kgdb_attach().
- Make com_isa and com_multi initialize sc_frequency to COM_FREQ.
- Make i386/machdep.c and alpha/dec_xxx.c call com*attach() with the freq.
parameter.
* supio_attach_args get two more fields: a sc_ipl and a sc_arg, both ints.
- com_supio uses the first for interupt establishment (all childs will, as
soon as they exist) and the 2nd for sc_frequency.
- drsupio passes sc_ipl alway as 5, and for the "com"s, sc_arg as 16*115200
- hyper will pass sc_ipl as 6, and sc_arg as 16 * 460800
-put all early console / KGDB initialization into 1 exported function
(com_*_attach()) each, dont use global variables anymore
-use the passed tcflag_t for port settings instead of hardwiring 8N1
-at autoconfiguration attach time, decide if the attaching device is
already console / KGDB by comparing bus tag and base addr (cgd's wish)
-export a function "com_is_console()" for use by driver frontends for
this comparision
-delay setting of cn_tab->cn_dev until autoconfiguration attach
to get the minor number right
-delete unused comcnprobe() and comcninit()
-Separate KGDB port initialization and softc related stuff to allow
KGDB to be attached in early system startup, before autoconfiguration.
-Export the variables needed by md code to hand-craft bus tag/handle.
-Fix initialization to enable interrupt by line break.
-Call DDB/KGDB at line break (move DDB call from the softirq handler
to the hard handler because it should work without a tty attached too).
- No more distinction between i/o-mapped and memory-mapped
devices. It's all "bus space" now, and space tags
differentiate the space with finer grain than the
bus chipset tag.
- Add memory barrier methods.
- Implement space alloc/free methods.
- Implement region read/write methods (like memcpy to/from
bus space).
This interface provides a better abstraction for dealing with
machine-independent chipset drivers.
'cflag' for the console. Normally set to TTYDEF_CFLAG, may be
overridden by machine-dependent console attachment code, as necessary.
(Alpha uses it to set cs8 -parenb.) Files including comvar.h now
need to include <sys/termios.h>, because comconscflag is of type
tcflag_t.
substantial reworking of the multi-port drivers, as they need to frob
bits in the io-port spaces of their children. As a result, the
commulti->com attachment interface is substantially more complex.
(This may be fixable in the future by making some of the code common,
but as long as io-port allocation checking is planned, it's necessary.)
