+Teletypewriter (TTY) layer takes care of all those serial devices. Including
+the virtual ones like pseudoterminal (PTY).
+
+TTY structures
+==============
+
+There are several major TTY structures. Every TTY device in a system has a
+corresponding struct tty_port. These devices are maintained by a TTY driver
+which is struct tty_driver. This structure describes the driver but also
+contains a reference to operations which could be performed on the TTYs. It is
+struct tty_operations. Then, upon open, a struct tty_struct is allocated and
+lives until the final close. During this time, several callbacks from struct
+tty_operations are invoked by the TTY layer.
+
+Every character received by the kernel (both from devices and users) is passed
+through a preselected :doc:`tty_ldisc` (in
+short ldisc; in C, struct tty_ldisc_ops). Its task is to transform characters
+as defined by a particular ldisc or by user too. The default one is n_tty,
+implementing echoes, signal handling, jobs control, special characters
+processing, and more. The transformed characters are passed further to
+user/device, depending on the source.
+
+In-detail description of the named TTY structures is in separate documents:

+   tty_struct
+   tty_ldisc

+   tty_internals
+
+Writing TTY Driver
+==================
+
+Before one starts writing a TTY driver, they must consider
+:doc:`Serial <../serial/driver>` and :doc:`USB Serial <../../usb/usb-serial>`
+layers first. Drivers for serial devices can often use one of these specific
+layers to implement a serial driver. Only special devices should be handled
+directly by the TTY Layer. If you are about to write such a driver, read on.
+
+A *typical* sequence a TTY driver performs is as follows:
+
+#. Allocate and register a TTY driver (module init)
+#. Create and register TTY devices as they are probed (probe function)
+#. Handle TTY operations and events like interrupts (TTY core invokes the
+   former, the device the latter)
+#. Remove devices as they are going away (remove function)
+#. Unregister and free the TTY driver (module exit)
+
+Steps regarding driver, i.e. 1., 3., and 5. are described in detail in
+:doc:`tty_driver`. For the other two (devices handling), look into
+:doc:`tty_port`.

+1. Introduction
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+   The Smartio/Industio/UPCI family Linux driver supports following multiport
+   boards:
+
+    - 2 ports multiport board
+	CP-102U, CP-102UL, CP-102UF
+	CP-132U-I, CP-132UL,
+	CP-132, CP-132I, CP132S, CP-132IS,
+	(CP-102, CP-102S)
+
+    - 4 ports multiport board
+	CP-104EL,
+	CP-104UL, CP-104JU,
+	CP-134U, CP-134U-I,
+	C104H/PCI, C104HS/PCI,
+	CP-114, CP-114I, CP-114S, CP-114IS, CP-114UL,
+	(C114HI, CT-114I),
+	POS-104UL,
+	CB-114,
+	CB-134I
+
+    - 8 ports multiport board
+	CP-118EL, CP-168EL,
+	CP-118U, CP-168U,
+	C168H/PCI,
+	CB-108
+
+   If a compatibility problem occurs, please contact Moxa at
+   support@moxa.com.tw.
+
+   In addition to device driver, useful utilities are also provided in this
+   version. They are:
+
+    - msdiag
+		 Diagnostic program for displaying installed Moxa
+                 Smartio/Industio boards.
+    - msmon
+		 Monitor program to observe data count and line status signals.
+    - msterm     A simple terminal program which is useful in testing serial
+	         ports.
+
+   All the drivers and utilities are published in form of source code under
+   GNU General Public License in this version. Please refer to GNU General
+   Public License announcement in each source code file for more detail.
+
+   In Moxa's Web sites, you may always find the latest driver at
+   https://www.moxa.com/.
+
+   This version of driver can be installed as a Loadable Module (Module driver)
+   or built-in into kernel (Static driver). Before you install the driver,
+   please refer to hardware installation procedure in the User's Manual.
+
+   We assume the user should be familiar with following documents:
+
+   - Serial-HOWTO
+   - Kernel-HOWTO
+
+2. System Requirement
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+   - Maximum 4 boards can be installed in combination
+
+3. Installation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+3.1 Hardware installation
+=========================
+
+PCI/UPCI board
+--------------
+
+   You may need to adjust IRQ usage in BIOS to avoid IRQ conflict with other
+   ISA devices. Please refer to hardware installation procedure in User's
+   Manual in advance.
+
+PCI IRQ Sharing
+---------------
+
+   Each port within the same multiport board shares the same IRQ. Up to
+   4 Moxa Smartio/Industio PCI Family multiport boards can be installed
+   together on one system and they can share the same IRQ.
+
+
+
+3.2 Device naming convention
+============================
+
+   The device node is named "ttyMxx".
+
+Device naming when more than 2 boards installed
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+   Naming convention for each Smartio/Industio multiport board is
+   pre-defined as below.
+
+   ============ ===============
+   Board Num.	Device node
+   1st board	ttyM0  - ttyM7
+   2nd board	ttyM8  - ttyM15
+   3rd board	ttyM16 - ttyM23
+   4th board	ttyM24 - ttyM31
+   ============ ===============
+
+4. Utilities
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+   There are 3 utilities contained in this driver. They are msdiag, msmon and
+   msterm. These 3 utilities are released in form of source code. They should
+   be compiled into executable file and copied into /usr/bin.
+
+msdiag - Diagnostic
+===================
+
+   This utility provides the function to display what Moxa Smartio/Industio
+   board was found by the driver in the system.
+
+msmon - Port Monitoring
+=======================
+
+   This utility gives the user a quick view about all the MOXA ports'
+   activities. One can easily learn each port's total received/transmitted
+   (Rx/Tx) character count since the time when the monitoring is started.
+
+   Rx/Tx throughputs per second are also reported in interval basis (e.g.
+   the last 5 seconds) and in average basis (since the time the monitoring
+   is started). You can reset all ports' count by <HOME> key. <+> <->
+   (plus/minus) keys to change the displaying time interval. Press <ENTER>
+   on the port, that cursor stay, to view the port's communication
+   parameters, signal status, and input/output queue.
+
+msterm - Terminal Emulation
+===========================
+
+   This utility provides data sending and receiving ability of all tty ports,
+   especially for MOXA ports. It is quite useful for testing simple
+   application, for example, sending AT command to a modem connected to the
+   port or used as a terminal for login purpose. Note that this is only a
+   dumb terminal emulation without handling full screen operation.
+
+5. Setserial
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+   Supported Setserial parameters are listed as below.
+
+   ============== =============================================================
+   uart		  set UART type(16450 --> disable FIFO, 16550A --> enable FIFO)
+   close_delay	  set the amount of time (in 1/100 of a second) that DTR
+		  should be kept low while being closed.
+   closing_wait   set the amount of time (in 1/100 of a second) that the
+		  serial port should wait for data to be drained while
+		  being closed, before the receiver is disabled.
+   spd_hi	  Use 57.6kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+   spd_vhi	  Use 115.2kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+   spd_shi	  Use 230.4kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+   spd_warp	  Use 460.8kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+   spd_normal	  Use 38.4kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+   spd_cust	  Use the custom divisor to set the speed when the
+		  application requests 38.4kb.
+   divisor	  This option sets the custom division.
+   baud_base	  This option sets the base baud rate.
+   ============== =============================================================
+
+6. Troubleshooting
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+   The boot time error messages and solutions are stated as clearly as
+   possible. If all the possible solutions fail, please contact our technical
+   support team to get more help.
+
+
+   Error msg:
+	      More than 4 Moxa Smartio/Industio family boards found. Fifth board
+              and after are ignored.
+
+   Solution:
+   To avoid this problem, please unplug fifth and after board, because Moxa
+   driver supports up to 4 boards.

+GSM 0710 tty multiplexor HOWTO
+==============================
+
+.. contents:: :local:
+
+This line discipline implements the GSM 07.10 multiplexing protocol
+detailed in the following 3GPP document:
+
+	https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/07_series/07.10/0710-720.zip
+
+This document give some hints on how to use this driver with GPRS and 3G
+modems connected to a physical serial port.
+
+How to use it
+=============
+
+Config Initiator
+----------------
+
+#. Initialize the modem in 0710 mux mode (usually ``AT+CMUX=`` command) through
+   its serial port. Depending on the modem used, you can pass more or less
+   parameters to this command.
+
+#. Switch the serial line to using the n_gsm line discipline by using
+   ``TIOCSETD`` ioctl.
+
+#. Configure the mux using ``GSMIOC_GETCONF``/``GSMIOC_SETCONF`` ioctl.
+
+#. Obtain base gsmtty number for the used serial port.
+
+   Major parts of the initialization program
+   (a good starting point is util-linux-ng/sys-utils/ldattach.c)::
+
+      #include <stdio.h>
+      #include <stdint.h>
+      #include <linux/gsmmux.h>
+      #include <linux/tty.h>
+
+      #define DEFAULT_SPEED	B115200
+      #define SERIAL_PORT	/dev/ttyS0
+
+      int ldisc = N_GSM0710;
+      struct gsm_config c;
+      struct termios configuration;
+      uint32_t first;
+
+      /* open the serial port connected to the modem */
+      fd = open(SERIAL_PORT, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY);
+
+      /* configure the serial port : speed, flow control ... */
+
+      /* send the AT commands to switch the modem to CMUX mode
+         and check that it's successful (should return OK) */
+      write(fd, "AT+CMUX=0\r", 10);
+
+      /* experience showed that some modems need some time before
+         being able to answer to the first MUX packet so a delay
+         may be needed here in some case */
+      sleep(3);
+
+      /* use n_gsm line discipline */
+      ioctl(fd, TIOCSETD, &ldisc);
+
+      /* get n_gsm configuration */
+      ioctl(fd, GSMIOC_GETCONF, &c);
+      /* we are initiator and need encoding 0 (basic) */
+      c.initiator = 1;
+      c.encapsulation = 0;
+      /* our modem defaults to a maximum size of 127 bytes */
+      c.mru = 127;
+      c.mtu = 127;
+      /* set the new configuration */
+      ioctl(fd, GSMIOC_SETCONF, &c);
+      /* get first gsmtty device node */
+      ioctl(fd, GSMIOC_GETFIRST, &first);
+      printf("first muxed line: /dev/gsmtty%i\n", first);
+
+      /* and wait for ever to keep the line discipline enabled */
+      daemon(0,0);
+      pause();
+
+#. Use these devices as plain serial ports.
+
+   For example, it's possible:
+
+   - to use *gnokii* to send / receive SMS on ``ttygsm1``
+   - to use *ppp* to establish a datalink on ``ttygsm2``
+
+#. First close all virtual ports before closing the physical port.
+
+   Note that after closing the physical port the modem is still in multiplexing
+   mode. This may prevent a successful re-opening of the port later. To avoid
+   this situation either reset the modem if your hardware allows that or send
+   a disconnect command frame manually before initializing the multiplexing mode
+   for the second time. The byte sequence for the disconnect command frame is::
+
+      0xf9, 0x03, 0xef, 0x03, 0xc3, 0x16, 0xf9
+
+Config Requester
+----------------
+
+#. Receive ``AT+CMUX=`` command through its serial port, initialize mux mode
+   config.
+
+#. Switch the serial line to using the *n_gsm* line discipline by using
+   ``TIOCSETD`` ioctl.
+
+#. Configure the mux using ``GSMIOC_GETCONF``/``GSMIOC_SETCONF`` ioctl.
+
+#. Obtain base gsmtty number for the used serial port::
+
+        #include <stdio.h>
+        #include <stdint.h>
+        #include <linux/gsmmux.h>
+        #include <linux/tty.h>
+        #define DEFAULT_SPEED	B115200
+        #define SERIAL_PORT	/dev/ttyS0
+
+	int ldisc = N_GSM0710;
+	struct gsm_config c;
+	struct termios configuration;
+	uint32_t first;
+
+	/* open the serial port */
+	fd = open(SERIAL_PORT, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY);
+
+	/* configure the serial port : speed, flow control ... */
+
+	/* get serial data and check "AT+CMUX=command" parameter ... */
+
+	/* use n_gsm line discipline */
+	ioctl(fd, TIOCSETD, &ldisc);
+
+	/* get n_gsm configuration */
+	ioctl(fd, GSMIOC_GETCONF, &c);

+TTY Driver and TTY Operations
+=============================
+
+.. contents:: :local:
+
+Allocation
+==========
+
+The first thing a driver needs to do is to allocate a struct tty_driver. This
+is done by tty_alloc_driver() (or __tty_alloc_driver()). Next, the newly
+allocated structure is filled with information. See `TTY Driver Reference`_ at
+the end of this document on what actually shall be filled in.
+
+The allocation routines expect a number of devices the driver can handle at
+most and flags. Flags are those starting ``TTY_DRIVER_`` listed and described
+in `TTY Driver Flags`_ below.
+
+When the driver is about to be freed, tty_driver_kref_put() is called on that.
+It will decrements the reference count and if it reaches zero, the driver is
+freed.
+
+For reference, both allocation and deallocation functions are explained here in
+detail:
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/tty/tty_io.c
+   :identifiers: __tty_alloc_driver tty_driver_kref_put
+
+TTY Driver Flags
+----------------
+
+Here comes the documentation of flags accepted by tty_alloc_driver() (or
+__tty_alloc_driver()):
+
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/tty_driver.h
+   :doc: TTY Driver Flags
+
+----
+
+Registration
+============
+
+When a struct tty_driver is allocated and filled in, it can be registered using
+tty_register_driver(). It is recommended to pass ``TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV`` in
+flags of tty_alloc_driver(). If it is not passed, *all* devices are also
+registered during tty_register_driver() and the following paragraph of
+registering devices can be skipped for such drivers. However, the struct
+tty_port part in `Registering Devices`_ is still relevant there.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/tty/tty_io.c
+   :identifiers: tty_register_driver tty_unregister_driver
+
+Registering Devices
+-------------------
+
+Every TTY device shall be backed by a struct tty_port. Usually, TTY drivers
+embed tty_port into device's private structures. Further details about handling
+tty_port can be found in :doc:`tty_port`. The driver is also recommended to use
+tty_port's reference counting by tty_port_get() and tty_port_put(). The final
+put is supposed to free the tty_port including the device's private struct.
+
+Unless ``TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV`` was passed as flags to tty_alloc_driver(),
+TTY driver is supposed to register every device discovered in the system
+(the latter is preferred). This is performed by tty_register_device(). Or by
+tty_register_device_attr() if the driver wants to expose some information
+through struct attribute_group. Both of them register ``index``'th device and
+upon return, the device can be opened. There are also preferred tty_port
+variants described in `Linking Devices to Ports`_ later. It is up to driver to
+manage free indices and choosing the right one. The TTY layer only refuses to
+register more devices than passed to tty_alloc_driver().
+
+When the device is opened, the TTY layer allocates struct tty_struct and starts
+calling operations from :c:member:`tty_driver.ops`, see `TTY Operations
+Reference`_.
+
+The registration routines are documented as follows:
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/tty/tty_io.c
+   :identifiers: tty_register_device tty_register_device_attr
+        tty_unregister_device
+
+----
+
+Linking Devices to Ports
+------------------------
+As stated earlier, every TTY device shall have a struct tty_port assigned to
+it. It must be known to the TTY layer at :c:member:`tty_driver.ops.install()`
+at latest.  There are few helpers to *link* the two. Ideally, the driver uses
+tty_port_register_device() or tty_port_register_device_attr() instead of
+tty_register_device() and tty_register_device_attr() at the registration time.
+This way, the driver needs not care about linking later on.
+
+If that is not possible, the driver still can link the tty_port to a specific
+index *before* the actual registration by tty_port_link_device(). If it still
+does not fit, tty_port_install() can be used from the
+:c:member:`tty_driver.ops.install` hook as a last resort. The last one is
+dedicated mostly for in-memory devices like PTY where tty_ports are allocated
+on demand.
+
+The linking routines are documented here:
+
+.. kernel-doc::  drivers/tty/tty_port.c
+   :identifiers: tty_port_link_device tty_port_register_device
+        tty_port_register_device_attr

+===================
+TTY Line Discipline
+===================
+
+.. contents:: :local:
+
+TTY line discipline process all incoming and outgoing character from/to a tty
+device. The default line discipline is :doc:`N_TTY <n_tty>`. It is also a
+fallback if establishing any other discipline for a tty fails. If even N_TTY
+fails, N_NULL takes over. That never fails, but also does not process any
+characters -- it throws them away.
+
+Registration
+============
+
+Line disciplines are registered with tty_register_ldisc() passing the ldisc
+structure. At the point of registration the discipline must be ready to use and
+it is possible it will get used before the call returns success. If the call
+returns an error then it won’t get called. Do not re-use ldisc numbers as they
+are part of the userspace ABI and writing over an existing ldisc will cause
+demons to eat your computer. You must not re-register over the top of the line
+discipline even with the same data or your computer again will be eaten by
+demons. In order to remove a line discipline call tty_unregister_ldisc().
+
+Heed this warning: the reference count field of the registered copies of the
+tty_ldisc structure in the ldisc table counts the number of lines using this
+discipline. The reference count of the tty_ldisc structure within a tty counts
+the number of active users of the ldisc at this instant. In effect it counts
+the number of threads of execution within an ldisc method (plus those about to
+enter and exit although this detail matters not).

+
+Driver Access
+=============
+
+Line discipline methods can call the methods of the underlying hardware driver.
+These are documented as a part of struct tty_operations.
+
+TTY Flags
+=========
+
+Line discipline methods have access to :c:member:`tty_struct.flags` field. See
+:doc:`tty_struct`.
+
+Locking
+=======
+
+Callers to the line discipline functions from the tty layer are required to
+take line discipline locks. The same is true of calls from the driver side
+but not yet enforced.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c
+   :identifiers: tty_ldisc_ref_wait tty_ldisc_ref tty_ldisc_deref
+
+While these functions are slightly slower than the old code they should have
+minimal impact as most receive logic uses the flip buffers and they only
+need to take a reference when they push bits up through the driver.
+
+A caution: The :c:member:`tty_ldisc_ops.open()`,
+:c:member:`tty_ldisc_ops.close()` and :c:member:`tty_driver.set_ldisc()`
+functions are called with the ldisc unavailable. Thus tty_ldisc_ref() will fail
+in this situation if used within these functions.  Ldisc and driver code
+calling its own functions must be careful in this case.

+The TTY drivers are advised to use struct tty_port helpers as much as possible.
+If the drivers implement :c:member:`tty_port.ops.activate()` and
+:c:member:`tty_port.ops.shutdown()`, they can use tty_port_open(),
+tty_port_close(), and tty_port_hangup() in respective

+
+struct tty_struct is allocated by the TTY layer upon the first open of the TTY
+device and released after the last close. The TTY layer passes this structure
+to most of struct tty_operation's hooks. Members of tty_struct are documented
+in `TTY Struct Reference`_ at the bottom.
