This patch adds a new udbg early debug console which utilises
statically defined input and output buffers stored within the kernel
BSS. It is primarily designed to assist with bring up of new hardware
which may not have a working console but which has a method of
reading/writing kernel memory.
This version incorporates comments made by Ben H (thanks!).
Changes from v1:
- Add memory barriers.
- Ensure updating of read/write positions is atomic.

This adds a udbg and an hvc console backend for supporting a console
using the OPAL console interfaces.
On OPAL v1 we have hvc0 mapped to whatever console the system was
configured for (network or hvsi serial port) via the service
processor.
On OPAL v2 we have hvcN mapped to the Nth console provided by OPAL
which generally corresponds to:
hvc0 : network console (raw protocol)
hvc1 : serial port S1 (hvsi)
hvc2 : serial port S2 (hvsi)
Note: At this point, early debug console only works with OPAL v1
and shouldn't be enabled in a normal kernel.

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.

On pseries machines, consoles are provided by the hypervisor using
a low level get_chars/put_chars type interface. However, this is
really just a transport to the service processor which implements
them either as "raw" console (networked consoles, HMC, ...) or as
"hvsi" serial ports.
The later is a simple packet protocol on top of the raw character
interface that is supposed to convey additional "serial port" style
semantics. In practice however, all it does is provide a way to
read the CD line and set/clear our DTR line, that's it.
We currently implement the "raw" protocol as an hvc console backend
(/dev/hvcN) and the "hvsi" protocol using a separate tty driver
(/dev/hvsi0).
However this is quite impractical. The arbitrary difference between
the two type of devices has been a major source of user (and distro)
confusion. Additionally, there's an additional mini -hvsi implementation
in the pseries platform code for our low level debug console and early
boot kernel messages, which means code duplication, though that low
level variant is impractical as it's incapable of doing the initial
protocol negociation to establish the link to the FSP.
This essentially replaces the dedicated hvsi driver and the platform
udbg code completely by extending the existing hvc_vio backend used
in "raw" mode so that:
- It now supports HVSI as well
- We add support for hvc backend providing tiocm{get,set}
- It also provides a udbg interface for early debug and boot console
This is overall less code, though this will only be obvious once we
remove the old "hvsi" driver, which is still available for now. When
the old driver is enabled, the new code still kicks in for the low
level udbg console, replacing the old mini implementation in the platform
code, it just doesn't provide the higher level "hvc" interface.
In addition to producing generally simler code, this has several benefits
over our current situation:
- The user/distro only has to deal with /dev/hvcN for the hypervisor
console, avoiding all sort of confusion that has plagued us in the past
- The tty, kernel and low level debug console all use the same code
base which supports the full protocol establishment process, thus the
console is now available much earlier than it used to be with the
old HVSI driver. The kernel console works much earlier and udbg is
available much earlier too. Hackers can enable a hard coded very-early
debug console as well that works with HVSI (previously that was only
supported for the "raw" mode).
I've tried to keep the same semantics as hvsi relative to how I react
to things like CD changes, with some subtle differences though:
- I clear DTR on close if HUPCL is set
- Current hvsi triggers a hangup if it detects a up->down transition
on CD (you can still open a console with CD down). My new implementation
triggers a hangup if the link to the FSP is severed, and severs it upon
detecting a up->down transition on CD.

When the console is on a serial port to be driven by serial8250, a
character can be lost from the end of the first line in the two-line
sequence
serial8250.0: ttyS0 at MMIO 0xe0004500 (irq = 42) is a 16550A
console handover: boot [udbg0] -> real [ttyS0]
This happens because udbg_puts or udbg_write stuff the last byte of
the line into the Tx FIFO and return, whereupon the serial8250
initialization code immediately empties that FIFO. The fix: udbg_puts
and udbg_write now wait for the Tx FIFO to clear before returning.
This delays the system by one additional serial frame time for each
line written by udbg, but the effect is not noticeable, a cumulative
17 milliseconds for 200 lines of early printk output at 115200 baud.
Also, the routines in udbg_16550.c now emit CRLF instead of LFCR.
Linux makes a point of emitting CRLF because, when serial output is
captured to a file, LFCR sequences can confuse text editors. See
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/4/50 for some history.

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.

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().

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.

Previously, registering this early console would just result
in dropping early buffered printk output until a udbg_putc
was registered.
However, commit 69331af79c
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.

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.

udbg_early_init() is a function used on 64 bit systems, which
initializes whichever early udbg backend is configured. This function
is not called on 32-bit, however if btext early debug is enabled it
does have an explicit, inline, #ifdef-ed assignment performing
analagous initialization.
This patch makes things more uniform by folding the btext
initialization as an option into udbg_early_init() and calling that
from the 32-bit setup path.
