From 18a8bd949d6adb311ea816125ff65050df1f3f6e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yinghai Lu Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 23:37:59 -0700 Subject: serial: convert early_uart to earlycon for 8250 Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and include/asm-x86_64/serial.h. the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in serial initializing stage. the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=> register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time. need to wait till uart_add_one_port in drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0. that is too late. Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier. Make it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature. and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically. new command line will be: console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8 console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8 or earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8 earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8 it will print in very early stage: Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8') console [uart0] enabled later for console it will print: console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0] Signed-off-by: Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Bjorn Helgaas Cc: Russell King Cc: Gerd Hoffmann Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- include/asm-x86_64/fixmap.h | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'include/asm-x86_64/fixmap.h') diff --git a/include/asm-x86_64/fixmap.h b/include/asm-x86_64/fixmap.h index e90e167..2acb9b7 100644 --- a/include/asm-x86_64/fixmap.h +++ b/include/asm-x86_64/fixmap.h @@ -35,6 +35,8 @@ enum fixed_addresses { VSYSCALL_LAST_PAGE, VSYSCALL_FIRST_PAGE = VSYSCALL_LAST_PAGE + ((VSYSCALL_END-VSYSCALL_START) >> PAGE_SHIFT) - 1, VSYSCALL_HPET, + FIX_DBGP_BASE, + FIX_EARLYCON_MEM_BASE, FIX_HPET_BASE, FIX_APIC_BASE, /* local (CPU) APIC) -- required for SMP or not */ FIX_IO_APIC_BASE_0, @@ -84,7 +86,7 @@ static __always_inline unsigned long fix_to_virt(const unsigned int idx) if (idx >= __end_of_fixed_addresses) __this_fixmap_does_not_exist(); - return __fix_to_virt(idx); + return __fix_to_virt(idx); } #endif -- cgit v1.1
