It makes the code really ugly. And since it can be enabled only before
building and only in the source files, it can be barely used by users.
That said, I've not seen anybody to use it in the past few years.

The same as in "TTY: serial, remove BTM from wait_until_sent" we don't
need to take BTM in wait_until_sent of ami_serial. Exactly the same
as serial, ami_serial accesses some "info" members (xmit_fifo_size,
timeout), but their assignment on other places in the code is not
protected by BTM anyway.
So the BTM protects nothing here. This removal helps us to get rid of
tty_locked() and __big_tty_mutex_owner in the following patch. This
was suggested by Arnd.

At that time the console is set by uart_add_one_port already.

uart_configure_port()
register_console()

During the BKL removal process, the BKL was switched to tty_lock
(BTM). Now we should start pruning the BTM further. Let's start with
wait_until_sent of the serial layer. This will allow us to switch to
the tty port helpers and thus clean it up much.
In wait_until_sent there are some uport members accessed, but neither
of them is protected by BTM at the location they are set ('=>' means
function call):
* uport->fifosize (set in tty_ioctl => uart_ioctl => uart_set_info)
* uport->type (set in add_one_port prior to tty_register_device)
* uport->timeout (set usually in tty_ioctl => tty_mode_ioctl =>
tty_set_termios => uart_set_termios => uart_change_speed =>
uport->ops->set_termios => uart_update_timeout)
* call to uport->ops->tx_empty()
If the tx_empty hook needs some lock to protect accesses to registers,
it should take &uport->lock spinlock like 8250 does. Otherwise there
still might be races e.g. with ISRs.
This should also fix the issue Andreas is seeing (BTM in comparison to
BKL doesn't have any hidden functionality like unlocking during
sleeping).

The ePAPR embedded hypervisor specification provides an API for "byte
channels", which are serial-like virtual devices for sending and receiving
streams of bytes. This driver provides Linux kernel support for byte
channels via three distinct interfaces:
1) An early-console (udbg) driver. This provides early console output
through a byte channel. The byte channel handle must be specified in a
Kconfig option.
2) A normal console driver. Output is sent to the byte channel designated
for stdout in the device tree. The console driver is for handling kernel
printk calls.
3) A tty driver, which is used to handle user-space input and output. The
byte channel used for the console is designated as the default tty.

When a user has SYS_ADMIN capabilities and uart->ops->startup returns
an error in uart_startup, we silently drop the error. We then return 0
and behave as if it didn't fail. (Not quite, since we set TTY_IO_ERROR
bit and leave ASYNC_INITIALIZED bit cleared.)
This all is to allow setserial to work with improperly configured or
unconfigured ports. User can thus set port properties and reconfigure
properly.
This patch only documents this behavior.

tty_operations->remove is normally called like:
queue_release_one_tty
->tty_shutdown
->tty_driver_remove_tty
->tty_operations->remove
However tty_shutdown() is called from queue_release_one_tty() only if
tty_operations->shutdown is NULL. But for pty, it is not.
pty_unix98_shutdown() is used there as ->shutdown.
So tty_operations->remove of pty (i.e. pty_unix98_remove()) is never
called. This results in invalid pty_count. I.e. what can be seen in
/proc/sys/kernel/pty/nr.
I see this was already reported at:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/5/370
But it was not fixed since then.
This patch is kind of a hackish way. The problem lies in ->install. We
allocate there another tty (so-called tty->link). So ->install is
called once, but ->remove twice, for both tty and tty->link. The fix
here is to count both tty and tty->link and divide the count by 2 for
user.
And to have ->remove called, let's make tty_driver_remove_tty() global
and call that from pty_unix98_shutdown() (tty_operations->shutdown).
While at it, let's document that when ->shutdown is defined,
tty_shutdown() is not called.

This is to fix an issue where output will suddenly become very slow.
The problem occurs on 8250 UARTS with the hardware bug UART_BUG_THRE.
BACKGROUND
For normal UARTs (without UART_BUG_THRE): When the serial core layer
gets new transmit data and the transmitter is idle, it buffers the
data and calls the 8250s' serial8250_start_tx() routine which will
simply enable the TX interrupt in the IER register and return. This
should immediately fire a THRE interrupt and begin transmitting the
data.
For buggy UARTs (with UART_BUG_THRE): merely enabling the TX interrupt
in IER does not necessarily generate a new THRE interrupt.
Therefore, a background timer periodically checks to see if there is
pending data, and starts transmission if that is the case.
The bug happens on SMP systems when the system has nothing to transmit,
the transmit interrupt is disabled and the following sequence occurs:
- CPU0: The background timer routine serial8250_backup_timeout()
starts and saves the state of the interrupt enable register (IER)
and then disables all interrupts in IER. NOTE: The transmit interrupt
(TI) bit is saved as disabled.
- CPU1: The serial core gets data to transmit, grabs the port lock and
calls serial8250_start_tx() which enables the TI in IER.
- CPU0: serial8250_backup_timeout() waits for the port lock.
- CPU1: finishes (with TI enabled) and releases the port lock.
- CPU0: serial8250_backup_timeout() calls the interrupt routine which
will transmit the next fifo's worth of data and then restores the
IER from the previously saved value (TI disabled).
At this point, as long as the serial core has more transmit data
buffered, it will not call serial8250_start_tx() again and the
background timer routine will slowly transmit the data.
The fix is to have serial8250_start_tx() get the port lock before
it saves the IER state and release it after restoring IER. This will
prevent serial8250_start_tx() from running in parallel.

The patch removes all the uses of cpu_is_mx1(). Instead, it uses

except i.mx1.
A couple of !cpu_is_mx1 logic gets turned into is_imx21_uart,

commit 4d2bb3f50036 (powerpc/pseries: Re-implement HVSI as part of

Unfortunately hvterm_raw_get_chars returns -EAGAIN if you ask
for anything less than 16 characters. As a result xmon no longer
accepts input and prints a stream of junk to the screen.
The recent change highlights a problem that xmon on pseries VIO
has had all along, that it can drop input characters. The issue
is the hypervisor call does not take a count argument and can
return up to 16 characters.

Currently, the hvc_console_print() function drops console output if the
hvc backend's put_chars() returns 0. This patch changes this behavior
to allow a retry through returning -EAGAIN.
This change also affects the hvc_push() function. Both functions are
changed to handle -EAGAIN and to retry the put_chars() operation.
If a hvc backend returns -EAGAIN, the retry handling differs:
- hvc_console_print() spins to write the complete console output.
- hvc_push() behaves the same way as for returning 0.
Now hvc backends can indirectly control the way how console output is
handled through the hvc console layer.
