Subject: Kernel module to directly write to the parallel port registers From: Carsten Emde <C.Emde@osadl.org> Date: Sat, 15 Dec 2012 00:00:28 +0100 It sometimes is required to directly signal a computer state at an output port without using a driver, e.g. in a crashed system that is no longer able to handle interrupts but still has some kind of life in it. The parallel port is ideally suitable for this purpose. This patch provides a driver interface to facilitate determination of the prallel port registers and to visualize system calls, hardware IRQs or software IRQs as additional hints in a post-mortem diagnosis of a system crash.
