[POWERPC] Mark udbg console as CON_ANYTIME, ie. callable early in boot

2008-04-24T11:08:11Z

The udbg console should be safe to call basically at any time after boot. It does not need any per-cpu resources or for the cpu to be online, as long as there is a udbg_putc routine hooked up it should work. So mark it as CON_ANYTIME. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] Set udbg_console index to 0

2008-04-24T11:08:11Z

Because the udbg_console has CON_ENABLED set, it's possible that when we register it with the console code the index won't be set. This leads to slightly confusing boot messages like: [ 0.000000] console [udbg-1] enabled We could remove CON_ENABLED, but we don't want to do that, we always want the udbg console to be activated, even if the user specified some other console on the command line. The simplest fix seems to be just to set the index to 0 by hand. There is no issue with duplicate udbg consoles, as we guard against registering multiple times in register_early_udbg_console().

[POWERPC] Early debug forces console log level to max

2007-12-11T04:43:35Z

This makes the early debug option force the console loglevel to the max. The early debug option is meant to catch messages very early in the kernel boot process, in many cases, before the kernel has a chance to parse the "debug" command line argument. Thus it makes sense when CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG is set, to force the console log level to the max at boot time. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] Fix console output getting dropped on platforms without udbg_putc

2007-06-14T01:56:17Z

Previously, registering this early console would just result in dropping early buffered printk output until a udbg_putc was registered. However, commit 69331af79cf29e26d1231152a172a1a10c2df511 clears the CON_PRINTBUFFER flag on the main console when a CON_BOOT (early) console has been registered, resulting in the buffered messages never being displayed to the user. This fixes the problem by making sure we don't register udbg_console on platforms that don't implement udbg_putc. Signed-off-by: Milton Miller Acked-by: Mark A. Greer Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

Fixes and cleanups for earlyprintk aka boot console

2007-05-08T18:15:04Z

The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the CON_BOOT flag. The implementation has some flaws though. The major problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel command line). This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will become the default console instead. This way the unregister call for the boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly. Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages. The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically with that patch. I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed. The code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf). Changes to last version: Rediffed against -rc3, adapted to mips cleanups by Ralf, fixed "udbg-immortal" cmd line arg on powerpc.

[POWERPC] Early serial debug support for PPC44x

2007-05-08T04:47:33Z

This adds support for early serial debugging via the built in port on IBM/AMCC PowerPC 44x CPUs. It uses a bolted TLB entry in address space 1 for the UART's mapping, allowing robust debugging both before and after the initialization of the MMU.
