[PATCH v4 1/3] ACPI / debugger: Add kernel flushing support
From: Lv Zheng
Date: Tue Jul 26 2016 - 07:01:50 EST
This patch adds debugger output flushing support in kernel via .ioctl()
callback. The in-kernel flushing is more efficient, because it reduces
useless log IOs by bypassing log user_read/kern_write during the flush
period.
This mechanism is useful for the batch mode. Scripts can integrate a batch
mode acpidbg instance to perform AML debugger functionalities.
As the batch mode always starts from a new command write, it thus requires
the kernel debugger driver to drop the old input/output first. The old
input is automatically dropped by acpi_os_get_line() via an error returning
value, but the output are remained in acpi_dbg output buffers and should be
dropped prior than reading the new command, otherwise, the old output can
be read out by the batch mode instance and the result of the batch mode
command will be messed up.
