Hi, list
I found some io memory information is lost from /dev/iomem and want to
find out why.
I have a 2.6.16 kernel running on a ARM board (Samsung S3C2410). From
the kernel log, I see 16 8250 serial ports were detected, and each of
thoese ports has a memory address:
Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 16 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
serial8250: tts0 at MMIO 0xe1400000 (irq = 16) is a 16550A
serial8250: tts1 at MMIO 0xe1400008 (irq = 16) is a 16550A
serial8250: tts2 at MMIO 0xe1400010 (irq = 17) is a 16550A
serial8250: tts3 at MMIO 0xe1400018 (irq = 17) is a 16550A
serial8250: tts4 at MMIO 0xe1400020 (irq = 18) is a 16550A
serial8250: tts5 at MMIO 0xe1400028 (irq = 18) is a 16550A
serial8250: tts6 at MMIO 0xe1400030 (irq = 19) is a 16550A
serial8250: tts7 at MMIO 0xe1400038 (irq = 19) is a 16550A
serial8250: tts8 at MMIO 0xe1400040 (irq = 48) is a 16550A
serial8250: tts9 at MMIO 0xe1400048 (irq = 48) is a 16550A
serial8250: tts10 at MMIO 0xe1400050 (irq = 49) is a 16550A
serial8250: tts11 at MMIO 0xe1400058 (irq = 49) is a 16550A
serial8250: tts12 at MMIO 0xe1400060 (irq = 60) is a 16550A
serial8250: tts13 at MMIO 0xe1400068 (irq = 60) is a 16550A
serial8250: tts14 at MMIO 0xe1400070 (irq = 61) is a 16550A
serial8250: tts15 at MMIO 0xe1400078 (irq = 61) is a 16550A
I can read/write these serial ports from /dev/ttys*, in other words,
they do exist. I also can find the driver info from /proc/devices:
Character devices:
...
4 /dev/vc/0
4 tty
4 tts
5 /dev/tty
5 /dev/console
5 /dev/ptmx
7 vcs
...
The problem is, I don't understand why there is no information about
these ports in /proc/iomem file. The 'iomem' file now contains:
11000000-11000ffe : AX88796B
19000000-19000ffe : AX88796B
30000000-33ffffff : System RAM
3001c000-301e826b : Kernel text
301ea000-302234a3 : Kernel data
49000000-490fffff : s3c2410-ohci
49000000-490fffff : ohci_hcd
4e000000-4e0fffff : s3c2410-nand
4e000000-4e0fffff : s3c2410-nand
50000000-50003fff : s3c2410-uart.0
50000000-500000ff : s3c2410-uart
50004000-50007fff : s3c2410-uart.1
50004000-500040ff : s3c2410-uart
50008000-5000bfff : s3c2410-uart.2
50008000-500080ff : s3c2410-uart
53000000-530fffff : s3c2410-wdt
54000000-540fffff : s3c2410-i2c
5a000000-5a0fffff : s3c2410-sdi
5a000000-5a0fffff : mmci-s3c2410
You see, there is no serial8250 informations.
Can anyone here please tell me how this can happen? Does it mean the
serial8250 driver don't populate or register in the /proc/iomem?

That looks like a bug to me. There should be entries in /proc/iomem
for the hardware device (showing that something responds at that
address) and for the driver that claims the device.
I think the 8250 core does the reservation in
serial8250_request_std_resource(). You could try putting some printks
in that path to see whether it's exercised.
You're running a fairly old kernel, so it's possible the bug has
already been fixed.

I think you are in the wrong place - the kernel newbies list may be a
better place to ask this level of question.
