Wysocki" <rjw@...ysocki.net>, Len Brown <len.brown@...el.com> Cc: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@...el.com>, Lv Zheng <zetalog@...il.com>, <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, linux-acpi@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] ACPI / debugger: Add kernel flushing support AML debugger is implemented in the kernel as a character device located in the debugfs. Currently, when its batch mode is used, the userspace tool needs to flush the logs/prompts remained in the kernel output buffer, this is implemented in an inefficient way in the userspace by polling the IO and reading everything out. This patch introduces a kernel space flushing support, so that userspace can invoke ioctl() to put the driver into a state waiting for new commands, all kernel space logs/prompts will be automatically discarded by ioctl().
