PATCH 1/1 upgrading emulated UART to 16550A

This patch upgrades the emulated UART to 16550A, the code comes from xen-unstable.
The main improvement was introduced with the following patch and subsequent email thread:

http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2007-12/msg00129.html

I only made few changes to use qemu_get_clock instead of clock_gettime, as Anthony suggested a little while ago.

This patch upgrades the emulated UART to 16550A, the code comes from xen-unstable.
The main improvement was introduced with the following patch and subsequent email thread:

http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2007-12/msg00129.html

I only made few changes to use qemu_get_clock instead of clock_gettime, as Anthony suggested a little while ago.

This token business probably needs a bit more explanation, at a glance I didn't figure out what it is meant to do (and why the constants above are good).

The token bucket was introduced to rate limit serial requests, mainly for performance reasons (grub makes too many requests). However I realize that conceptually it doesn't belong to qemu, so I am going to send another patch soon without the token bucket.

I didn't spend the time to figure out what was wrong, but I thought I'd try your new port emulation against KGDB which is known to work with real hardware, as well as the existing 16450 qemu uart support.

For some reason, the initial interrupt if a character comes into the uart does not seem to get raised, so the kernel routine which handles the traffic never gets invoked. It is possible that the that the kgdb kernel driver has a defect, but this does seem to work on real hardware, so perhaps it is a timing problem or the qemu emulation is not quite accurate with respect to the real hardware.

If you like, I can provide you a bzImage and the qemu invocation, such that you could see the problem first hand.

Very nice. Improving serial port emulation is on my list of TODO items so I'm glad to see this :-)

Quoted 3 lines

I only made few changes to use qemu_get_clock instead of clock_gettime, as Anthony suggested a little while ago.

I'll do a more thorough review on your next submission but one thing I wanted to point out, is that a lot of machine types rely on the serial emulation. While this patch has been tested in Xen, presumably, we need to make sure to do a fair bit of testing with non-x86 targets.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
