Peter MaydellandPaolo Bonzini 5b87a07e76 hw/char/pl011: Pad PL011State struct to same size as Rust impl
We have some users of the PL011 struct which embed it directly into
their own state structs. This means that the Rust version of the
device must have a state struct that is the same size or smaller
than the C struct.

In commit 9b642097d6 ("rust: pl011: switch to safe chardev operation")
the Rust PL011 state struct changed from having a bindings::CharBackend
to a chardev::CharBackend, which made it grow larger than the C
version. This results in an assertion at startup when QEMU was
built with Rust enabled:

 $ qemu-system-arm -M raspi2b -display none
 ERROR:../../qom/object.c:562:object_initialize_with_type: assertion
 failed: (size >= type->instance_size)

The long-term better approach to this problem would be to move
our C device code patterns away from "embed a struct" and (back)
to "have a pointer to the device", so we can make the C PL011State
struct a private implementation detail rather than exposed to
its users.

For the short term, add a padding field at the end of the C struct
so it's big enough that the Rust state struct can fit.

Alistair Francis 53c1557b23 hw/char: sifive_uart: Print uart characters async
The current approach of using qemu_chr_fe_write() and ignoring the
return values results in dropped characters [1].

Let's update the SiFive UART to use a async sifive_uart_xmit() function
to transmit the characters and apply back pressure to the guest with
the SIFIVE_UART_TXFIFO_FULL status.

This should avoid dropped characters and more realisticly model the
hardware.

Bernhard BeschowandPaolo Bonzini 7e6b5497ea hw/char: Extract serial-mm
hw/char/serial currently contains the implementation of both TYPE_SERIAL and
TYPE_SERIAL_MM. According to serial_class_init(), TYPE_SERIAL is an internal
class while TYPE_SERIAL_MM is used by numerous machine types directly. Let's
move the latter into its own module which makes the dependencies more obvious
and the code more tidy.

The includes and the dependencies have been converted mechanically except in the
hw/char directories which were updated manually. The result was compile-tested.
Now, only hw/char makes direct use of TYPE_SERIAL:

  # grep -r -e "select SERIAL" | grep -v SERIAL_
  hw/char/Kconfig:    select SERIAL
  hw/char/Kconfig:    select SERIAL
  hw/char/Kconfig:    select SERIAL
  hw/char/Kconfig:    select SERIAL
  hw/char/Kconfig:    select SERIAL

  # grep -r -e "/serial\\.h"
  include/hw/char/serial-mm.h:#include "hw/char/serial.h"
  hw/char/serial-pci-multi.c:#include "hw/char/serial.h"
  hw/char/serial.c:#include "hw/char/serial.h"
  hw/char/serial-isa.c:#include "hw/char/serial.h"

members). If this were desired in future, the Sun devices should be split

This patch implements a 32 half word FIFO as per imx serial device
specifications.  If a non empty FIFO is below the trigger level, an
ageing timer will tick for a duration of 8 characters.  On expiry,
AGTIM will be set triggering an interrupt.  AGTIM timer resets when
there is activity in the receive FIFO.

Otherwise, RRDY is set when trigger level is exceeded.  The receive
trigger level is 8 in newer kernel versions and 1 in older ones.

This change will break migration compatibility for the imx boards.

SUN Type 4, 5 and 5c keyboards have dip switches to choose the language layout
of the keyboard. Solaris makes an ioctl to query the value of the dipswitches
and uses that value to select keyboard layout.  Also the SUN bios like the one
in the file ss5.bin uses this value to support at least some keyboard layouts.
However, the OpenBIOS provided with qemu is hardcoded to always use an US
keyboard layout.

Before this patch, qemu allways gave dip switch value 0x21 (US keyboard),
this patch uses a command line switch like
"-global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=de" to select dip switch value. A table is
used to lookup values from arguments like:

-global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=fr
-global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=es

But the patch also accepts numeric dip switch values directly:

-global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=0x2b
-global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=43

Both values above are the same and select swedish keyboard as explained in
table 3-15 at
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19683-01/806-6642/new-43/index.html

Unless you want to do a full Solaris installation but happen to have
access to a Sun bios file, the easiest way to test that the patch works
is to:

qemu-system-sparc -global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=sv -bios /path/to/ss5.bin

If you already happen to have a Solaris installation in a qemu disk image
file you can easily try different keyboard layouts after this patch is
applied.
