Merge branch 'tty-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty-2.6
* 'tty-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty-2.6: (48 commits)
serial: 8250_pci: add support for Cronyx Omega PCI multiserial board.
tty/serial: Fix break handling for PORT_TEGRA
tty/serial: Add explicit PORT_TEGRA type
n_tracerouter and n_tracesink ldisc additions.
Intel PTI implementaiton of MIPI 1149.7.
Kernel documentation for the PTI feature.
export kernel call get_task_comm().
tty: Remove to support serial for S5P6442
pch_phub: Support new device ML7223
8250_pci: Add support for the Digi/IBM PCIe 2-port Adapter
ASoC: Update cx20442 for TTY API change
pch_uart: Support new device ML7223 IOH
parport: Use request_muxed_region for IT87 probe and lock
tty/serial: add support for Xilinx PS UART
n_gsm: Use print_hex_dump_bytes
drivers/tty/moxa.c: Put correct tty value
TTY: tty_io, annotate locking functions
TTY: serial_core, remove superfluous set_task_state
TTY: serial_core, remove invalid test
Char: moxa, fix locking in moxa_write
...
Fix up trivial conflicts in drivers/bluetooth/hci_ldisc.c and
drivers/tty/serial/Makefile.
I did the hci_ldisc thing as an evil merge, cleaning things up.

The kernel solution +for this platform involves the following files: + +./include/linux/pti.h +./drivers/.../n_tracesink.h +./drivers/.../n_tracerouter.c +./drivers/.../n_tracesink.c +./drivers/.../pti.c + +pti.c is the driver that enables various debugging features +popular on platforms from certain mobile manufacturers. +n_tracerouter.c and n_tracesink.c allow extra system information to +be collected and routed to the pti driver, such as trace +debugging data from a modem. Although n_tracerouter +and n_tracesink are a part of the complete PTI solution, +these two line disciplines can work separately from +pti.c and route any data stream from one /dev/tty node +to another /dev/tty node via kernel-space. This provides +a stable, reliable connection that will not break unless +the user-space application shuts down (plus avoids +kernel->user->kernel context switch overheads of routing +data). + +An example debugging usage for this driver system: + *Hook /dev/ttyPTI0 to syslogd. Opening this port will also start + a console device to further capture debugging messages to PTI. + *Hook /dev/ttyPTI1 to modem debugging data to write to PTI HW. + This is where n_tracerouter and n_tracesink are used. + *Hook /dev/pti to a user-level debugging application for writing + to PTI HW. + *Use mipi_* Kernel Driver API in other device drivers for + debugging to PTI by first requesting a PTI write address via + mipi_request_masterchannel(1). + +Below is example pseudo-code on how a 'privileged' application +can hook up n_tracerouter and n_tracesink to any tty on +a system. 'Privileged' means the application has enough +privileges to successfully manipulate the ldisc drivers +but is not just blindly executing as 'root'. Keep in mind +the use of ioctl(,TIOCSETD,) is not specific to the n_tracerouter +and n_tracesink line discpline drivers but is a generic +operation for a program to use a line discpline driver +on a tty port other than the default n_tty. + +/////////// To hook up n_tracerouter and n_tracesink ///////// + +// Note that n_tracerouter depends on n_tracesink. +#include <errno.h> +#define ONE_TTY "/dev/ttyOne" +#define TWO_TTY "/dev/ttyTwo" + +// needed global to hand onto ldisc connection +static int g_fd_source = -1; +static int g_fd_sink = -1; + +// these two vars used to grab LDISC values from loaded ldisc drivers +// in OS.
