hallo,
wouldsomebody explain me the serio interface or give me a code link for

What do you want to do with it? Do you want on the serial port side,
or on the mouse/keyboard/gadget side? See for example the various
serial keyboards and mice drivers.

I want on the kernelside process data from first uart-hardware interface
aka ttyS0.
I don't understand the structure of e.g. input/mouse/sermouse.c
where is said, which hardware is used for reading data from?

I'm not entirely sure, but I guess that most of the time, you assign a
serial port with the help of `inputattach' to a given device driver,
which expects to find its hardware on that port.
OTOH, why do you want to do the serial stuff in kernel land? Isn't it
a *lot* easier to do it in userspace? What's your specific device you
want to work on?

if you want to write a driver, there must be a possibility to get the
data, like others do. (kernel-space)
I want to know where I can get and how to do.
At least I want to be able to copy the data from device to another
(maybe own).
It is to get familiar with that.
thx

sorry.
I want to use the interface aka /dev/ttyS0.
I want to process data inside of a kernel module to provide it /proc
(done) or as own char-dev (done).
but I can not grab the data.
It is part of my project in my studies.
It is more a conceptual work, but important. I want to release a howto,
when I complete.
answered completely? ;) Hope so.

Something like this?
http://examples.oreilly.com/linuxdrive3/
examples/tty/tiny_serial.c
Some things are obsoleted, but main code flow remains.

You still answer unasked questions. Please answer inline:
* Why do you wanto to do the serial stuff in kernel land?
* Isn't it easier to do it in userspace?
* What specific device do you work on?
* New: Is it a wise idea to do it in kernel land?
The /proc filesystem has been somewhat obsoleted in favour of sysfs
for device/driver information.

I want to use the interface aka /dev/ttyS0. (text-stream)

no, explicitly not. To get known hwo to deal with data from devices.

May I chime in here, as it's a topic I am interested in too.
Have a look at drivers/isdn/gigaset/ser-gigaset.c if you like,
a driver for an ISDN adapter attached via RS232.
This is currently implemented as a line discipline, but I consider
that a hack. For one thing, it doesn't really fit the concept of a
line discipline because it doesn't transform the serial datastream
but instead diverts it completely to the isdn4linux subsystem. And
second, it means that a userspace daemon is needed which does
nothing but open the serial port, set the line discipline on it,
and go to sleep in order to keep the line discipline loaded.
The serio approach used by input/mouse/sermouse.c might provide a
more sensible way of driving that kind of device.

Apparently it won't. As I have learned in the meantime, the serio
mechanism in turn just uses a line discipline to actually attach
itself to the serial port. So the line discipline interface
remains "the" way to write a layered driver on top of RS232.
