949670f8f4 dev/uart: Use a linker set to find uart classes
When the uart is configured via the environment we need to find the
uart class with a specified name. Currently to do this with an
incomplete list of uarts. As we may not have included all uarts in the
kernel each class is defined as weak.

Switch to a linker set so the list is always up to date based on what
is included in the kernel, and the class can be static.

202890922e sys: Simplify enabling EARLY_PRINTF uarts
Support selecting the early uart with "options EARLY_PRINTF=foo" in
the kernel configuration file. This allows us to not have to change
source files when enabling EARLY_PRINTF, simplifying enabling it.

New uart drivers can be enabled by defining a new early_printf_foo
value to be unique, then using "#if CHECK_EARLY_PRINTF(foo)" to decide
when to enable the uart.

While here add pl011 early printf support.

353e4c5a06 uart(4): Honor hardware state of NS8250-class for tsw_busy
In 9750d9e5, I brought the equivalent of the TS_BUSY flag back in a
mostly hardware-agnostic way in order to fix tty_drain() and, thus,
TIOCDRAIN for UARTs with TX FIFOs. This proved to be sufficient for
fixing the regression reported. So in light of the release cycle of
FreeBSD 10.3, I decided that this change was be good enough for the
time being and opted to go with the smallest possible yet generic
(for all UARTs driven by uart(4)) solution addressing the problem at
hand.

However, at least for the NS8250-class the above isn't a complete
fix as these UARTs only trigger an interrupt when the TX FIFO became
empty. At this point, there still can be an outstanding character
left in the transmit shift register as indicated via the LSR. Thus,
this change adds the 3rd (besides the tty(4) and generic uart(4) bits)
part I had in my tree ever since, adding a uart_txbusy method to be
queried in addition for tsw_busy and hooking it up as appropriate
for the NS8250-class.

As it turns out, the exact equivalent of this 3rd part later on was
implemented for uftdi(4) in 9ad221a5.

While at it, explain the rational behind the deliberately missing
locking in uart_tty_busy() (also applying to the generic sc_txbusy
testing already present).

39d6144dcd ns8250_drain: Drain without DELAY first
In virtual machines with virtual UARTs which have fictitious baud
rates, it may be possible to drain the receive queue very quickly,
without needing to DELAY after each character.  Attempt to read
(and discard) the receive queue as fast as possible, stopping for
a DELAY only when LSR_RXRDY is no longer asserted; assume that we
have finished draining the queue when LSR_RXRDY is asserted both
before and after a DELAY.

This speeds up the boot process in FreeBSD/Firecracker by 27 ms.

4a9a41650c uart: Fix an out-of-bounds read in ns8250_bus_probe()
The problem is that ns8250_bus_probe() accesses a field from the
ns8250_softc, which embeds the generic UART softc, but the ns8250_softc
hasn't yet been allocated because we're still probing.

This is a regression from commit 0aefb0a63c.  This fixed a problem
where one of the upper four IER bits, which are usually reserved, needs
to be set in order to get RX interrupts before the RX FIFO is full.  At
the same time, we avoid clearing those reserved bits (see commit
58957d8717, though other UART drivers I looked at do not bother with
this).

So, copy what ns8250_init() does to disable interrupts, since we don't
know what the "right" mask is at this point.

9cf66a0458 uart_dev_ns8250: Switch ACPI UART subtype for Marvell SoCs
DBG2 ACPI table description [1] specifies three subtypes
related to 16550 UART:
0x0 - 16550 compatible
0x1 - 16550 subset
0x12 - 16550 compatible with parameters defined in Generic Address Structure (GAS)

It turned out however, that the Windows OS treats 0x0 subtype as
legacy x86 UART with 8-bit access. ARM SoCs can use types 0x1 (16550 with
fixed mmio32 access) or 0x12 (16550 with fully respected GAS contents).

Switch Marvell SoCs ACPI UART subtype to 0x1 - thanks to that the same firmware
can run properly with UART output in FreeBSD, Windows 10, Linux and ESXI
hypervisor. Tests showed the older firmware versions that use 0x0
UART subtype in SPCR table continue to display output properly.

7e7f7beee7 ns8250: don't drop IER_TXRDY on bus_grab/ungrab
It has been observed that some systems are often unable to resume from
ddb after entering with debug.kdb.enter=1. Checking the status further
shows the terminal is blocked waiting in tty_drain(), but it never makes
progress in clearing the output queue, because sc->sc_txbusy is high.

I noticed that when entering polling mode for the debugger, IER_TXRDY is
set in the failure case. Since this bit is never tracked by the softc,
it will not be restored by ns8250_bus_ungrab(). This creates a race in
which a TX interrupt can be lost, creating the hang described above.
Ensuring that this bit is restored is enough to prevent this, and resume
from ddb as expected.

The solution is to track this bit in the sc->ier field, for the same
lifetime that TX interrupts are enabled.

b47c1eda0c Correct baud rate error calculation.
Shifting right by 1 is not the same as dividing by 2 for signed
values.  In particular, dividing a signed value by 2 gives the integer
ceiling of the (e.g. -5 / 2 == -2) whereas shifting right by 1 always
gives the floor (-5 >> 1 == -3).

An embedded board with a 25 Mhz base clock results in an error of
-30.5% when used with a baud rate of 115200.  Using division, this
truncates to -30% and is permitted.  Using the shift, this fails and
is rejected causing TIOCSETA requests to fail with EINVAL and breaking
getty(8).

Using division gives the same error range for both over and under baud
rates and also makes the code match the behavior documented in the
existing comment about supporting boards with 25 Mhz clocks.

fdfbb3f5b1 Restore uart PPS signal capture polarity to its historical norm, and add an
option to invert the polarity in software. Also add an option to capture
very narrow pulses by using the hardware's MSR delta-bit capability of
latching line state changes.

This effectively reverts the mistake I made in r286595 which was based on
empirical measurements made on hardware using TTL-level signaling, in which
the logic levels are inverted from RS-232. Thus, this re-syncs the polarity
with the requirements of RFC 2783, which is writen in terms of RS-232
signaling.

Narrow-pulse mode uses the ability of most ns8250 and similar chips to
provide a delta indication in the modem status register. The hardware is
able to notice and latch the change when the pulse width is shorter than
interrupt latency, which results in the signal no longer being asserted by
time the interrupt service code runs. When running in this mode we get
notified only that "a pulse happened" so the driver synthesizes both an
ASSERT and a CLEAR event (with the same timestamp for each). When the pulse
width is about equal to the interrupt latency the driver may intermittantly
see both edges of the pulse. To prevent generating spurious events, the
driver implements a half-second lockout period after generating an event
before it will generate another.

3da1cf1e88 Extend the meaning of the CTLFLAG_TUN flag to automatically check if
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.

Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

caf6d6b491 In the grab function, keep the bit 6 on in the IER, on XScale, using 0
turns the UART off, which is unfortunate if one want to use it as a console.

d76a1ef4e1 Introduce grab and ungrab upcalls. When the kernel desires to grab the
console, it calls the grab functions. These functions should turn off
the RX interrupts, and any others that interfere. This makes mountroot
prompt work again. If there's more generalized need other than
prompting, many of these routines should be expanded to do those new
things.

Should have been part of r260889, but waasn't due to command line typo.

49e368ac48 Wait for DesignWare UART transfers completion before accessing line control
When using DW UART with BUSY detection it is necessary to wait
until all serial transfers are finished before manipulating the
line control. LCR will not be affected when UART is busy.
In addition, if Divisor Latch Access Bit is being set in order to
modify UART divisors:
1. We will get BUSY interrupt if interrupts are enabled.
2. Because LCR will not be affected the THR and (even worse) IER
   contents will be corrupted. This will lead to console hang.

40a827b6f0 A final test with unmodified code has shown that a delay of 150ms
is not giving us a 100% success rate. Bump the delay to 200ms as
that seems to do the trick.

Note that during testing the delay was added to uart_bus_attach()
in uart_core.c. While having the delay in a different place can
change the behaviour, it was not expected. Having to bump the
delay with another 50ms could therefore be an indication that
the problem can not be solved with delays.

4fc4997535 Work-around a timing problem with the ITE IT8513E now that the core
calls ns8250_bus_ipend() almost immediately after ns8250_bus_attach().
As it appears, a line break condition is being signalled for almost
all received characters due to this. A delay of 150ms seems enough
to allow the H/W to settle and to avoid the problem.
More analysis is needed, but for now a regression has been addressed.

167cb33f85 Make the uart ns8250 high-level interface public rather than static.
This makes it easier to implement new drivers which are "mostly ns8250"
but with some small difference such as needing to enable clocks or poke
a non-standard register at probe or attach time.
