Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] hvc: add an M3000 firmware console backend
Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2026 21:55:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261011195729.981243-7-linmag7@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261011195729.981243-1-linmag7@gmail.com>
Provide hvc0 through the M3000 Open Firmware pseudo-console, validating
the firmware model and console endpoints before registering it. Keep
firmware buffers in locked kernel mappings and serialize their use in
atomic console contexts through the existing SPARC p1275 interface.
Poll input while the TTY is open and synchronize close with timer
rearming. Return zero on no progress so HVC retries buffered TTY output
but drops stalled console chunks instead of spinning indefinitely.
A firmware call that does not return remains unbounded.
