enable PCI serial card usage
On some machine, there is no build-in serial port and no LPC connection. To use
serial port, we have to plug in a serial card. Sometime BIOS doesn't enable the
BARs for the PCI devices which lead to that Xen can't use the add-in serial port
for early log print. This patch try to initialize the serial card and related
PCI bridge to make it usable for xen.
Usage:
Step 1. boot into bare metal Linux, get the information for the PCI serial ports
and the related PCI bridge. On my case:
#lspci -v
00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 90) (prog-if 01
[Subtractive decode])
Bus: primary=00, secondary=06, subordinate=06, sec-latency=32
I/O behind bridge: 00005000-00005fff
06:02.0 Serial controller: Lava Computer mfg Inc Lava DSerial-PCI Port A
(prog-if 02 [16550])
Region 0: I/O ports at 5000 [size=8]
Step 2. revise the grub.conf to include
'com1=115200,8n1,0xPPPP,0,<port-bdf>,<bridge-bdf> console=com1'
for xen cmdline. The 0xPPPP is the base I/O port address got for the serial port
in bare metal Linux. For my case, it is 0x5000. The 0 after 0xPPPP means enable
polling model for the serial port. The <port-bdf> is the serial port BDF,
06:02.0 in my case; the <bridge-bdf> is the bridge BDF bebind
which the serial card locates, 00:1e.0 for my case.
Finally, good luck to you.
