Keyboard struct lifetime is easy, but the locking is not and is completely
ignored by the existing code. Tackle this one head on
- Make the kbd_table private so we can run down all direct users
- Hoick the relevant ioctl handlers into the keyboard layer
- Lock them with the keyboard lock so they don't change mid keypress
- Add helpers for things like console stop/start so we isolate the poking
around properly
- Tweak the braille console so it still builds
There are a couple of FIXME locking cases left for ioctls that are so hideous
they should be addressed in a later patch. After this patch the kbd_table is
private and all the keyboard jiggery pokery is in one place.

The receive FIFO wakeup latency estimate in the omap-serial driver is
three orders of magnitude too small. This effectively prevents the
MPU from going to a low-power state when CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y. This is a
major power management regression and masks some other FIFO-related
bugs in the driver.

estimate. There are several other flaws in the estimator; these will
be fixed by a separate patch series intended for 3.4.

Prevent OMAP UARTs from going idle while they are still transferring
data in PIO mode. This works around an oversight in the OMAP UART
hardware present in OMAP34xx and earlier: an idle UART won't send a
wakeup when the TX FIFO threshold is reached. This causes long delays
during data transmission when the MPU powerdomain enters a low-power
mode. The MPU interrupt controller is not able to respond to
interrupts when it's in a low-power state, so the TX buffer is not
refilled until another wakeup event occurs.
This fix changes the erratum i291 DMA idle workaround. Rather than
toggling between force-idle and no-idle, it will toggle between
smart-idle and no-idle. The important part of the workaround is the
no-idle part, so this shouldn't result in any change in behavior.
This fix should work on all OMAP UARTs. Future patches intended for
the 3.4 merge window will make this workaround conditional on a
"feature" flag, and will use the OMAP36xx+ TX event wakeup support.

In the (default) PIO mode, use a one-byte RX FIFO threshold. The OMAP
UART IP blocks do not appear to be capable of waking the system under
an RX timeout condition. Since the previous RX FIFO threshold was 16
bytes, this meant that omap-serial.c did not become aware of any
received data until all those bytes arrived or until another UART
interrupt occurred. This made the serial console and presumably other
serial applications (GPS, serial Bluetooth) unusable or extremely
slow. A 1-byte RX FIFO threshold also allows the MPU to enter a
low-power consumption state while waiting for the FIFO to fill.
This can be verified using the serial console by comparing the
behavior when "0123456789abcde" is pasted in from another window, with
the behavior when "0123456789abcdef" is pasted in. Since the former
string is less than sixteen bytes long, the string is not echoed for
some time, while the latter string is echoed immediately.
DMA operation is unaffected by this patch.

The synchronize_rcu() call resulting from making every serial driver

But this is avoidable since it is the device_set_wakeup_enable() and then
subsequence disable which causes the delay. We might as well just make
the device wakeup capable but not actually enable it for wakeup until
needed.
Effectively the current code does this:
device_set_wakeup_capable(dev, 1);
device_set_wakeup_enable(dev, 1);
device_set_wakeup_enable(dev, 0);
We can just drop the last two lines.

It seems that when the transmit FIFO threshold is reached on OMAP
UARTs, it does not result in a PRCM wakeup. This appears to be a
silicon bug. This means that if the MPU powerdomain is in a low-power
state, the MPU will not be awakened to refill the FIFO until the next
interrupt from another device.
The best solution, at least for the short term, would be for the OMAP
serial driver to call a OMAP subarchitecture function to prevent the
MPU powerdomain from entering a low power state while the FIFO has
data to transmit. However, we no longer have a clean way to do this,
since patches that add platform_data function pointers have been
deprecated by the OMAP maintainer. So we attempt to work around this
as well. The workarounds depend on the setting of CONFIG_CPU_IDLE.
When CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=n, the driver will now only transmit one byte at
a time. This causes the transmit FIFO threshold interrupt to stay
active until there is no more data to be sent. Thus, the MPU
powerdomain stays on during transmits. Aside from that energy
consumption penalty, each transmitted byte results in a huge number of
UART interrupts -- about five per byte. This wastes CPU time and is
quite inefficient, but is probably the most expedient workaround in
this case.
When CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y, there is a slightly more direct workaround:
the PM QoS constraint can be abused to keep the MPU powerdomain on.
This results in a normal number of interrupts, but, similar to the
above workaround, wastes power by preventing the MPU from entering
WFI.
Future patches are planned for the 3.4 merge window to implement more
efficient, but also more disruptive, workarounds to these problems.
DMA operation is unaffected by this patch.

Ensure FIFO levels are set correctly in non-DMA mode (the default).
This patch will cause a receive FIFO threshold interrupt to be raised when
there is at least one byte in the RX FIFO. It will also cause a transmit
FIFO threshold interrupt when there is only one byte remaining in the TX
FIFO.
These changes fix the receive interrupt problem and part of the
transmit interrupt problem. A separate set of issues must be worked
around for the transmit path to have a basic level of functionality; a
subsequent patch will address these.
