[PATCH] powerpc/udbg_hvc: retry putc on -EAGAIN

From: Nathan Lynch
Date: Fri May 14 2021 - 17:44:37 EST


hvterm_raw_put_chars() calls hvc_put_chars(), which may return -EAGAIN
when the underlying hcall returns a "busy" status, but udbg_hvc_putc()
doesn't handle this. When using xmon on a PowerVM guest, this can
result in incomplete or garbled output when printing relatively large
amounts of data quickly, such as when dumping the kernel log buffer.

Call again on -EAGAIN.
