As a rule, a release is made every +month. + +As the coding style adopted by the ACPICA project is not acceptable by +Linux, there is a release process to convert the ACPICA git commits into +Linux patches. The patches generated by this process are referred to as +"linuxized ACPICA patches". The release process is carried out on a local +copy the ACPICA git repository. Each commit in the monthly release is +converted into a linuxized ACPICA patch. Together, they form the monthly +ACPICA release patchset for the Linux ACPI community. This process is +illustrated in the following figure:: + + +-----------------------------+ + | acpica / master (-) commits | + +-----------------------------+ + /|\ | + | \|/ + | /---------------------\ +----------------------+ + | < Linuxize repo Utility >-->| old linuxized acpica |--+ + | \---------------------/ +----------------------+ | + | | + /---------\ | + < git reset > \ + \---------/ \ + /|\ /+-+ + | / | + +-----------------------------+ | | + | acpica / master (+) commits | | | + +-----------------------------+ | | + | | | + \|/ | | + /-----------------------\ +----------------------+ | | + < Linuxize repo Utilities >-->| new linuxized acpica |--+ | + \-----------------------/ +----------------------+ | + \|/ + +--------------------------+ /----------------------\ + | Linuxized ACPICA Patches |<----------------< Linuxize patch Utility > + +--------------------------+ \----------------------/ + | + \|/ + /---------------------------\ + < Linux ACPI Community Review > + \---------------------------/ + | + \|/ + +-----------------------+ /------------------\ +----------------+ + | linux-pm / linux-next |-->< Linux Merge Window >-->| linux / master | + +-----------------------+ \------------------/ +----------------+ + + Figure 2.

Currently this build process only takes care of the + following kernel configuration options: + CONFIG_ACPI/CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG/CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER + +ACPICA Divergences +================== + +Ideally, all of the ACPICA commits should be converted into Linux patches +automatically without manual modifications, the "linux / master" tree should +contain the ACPICA code that exactly corresponds to the ACPICA code +contained in "new linuxized acpica" tree and it should be possible to run +the release process fully automatically. + +As a matter of fact, however, there are source code differences between +the ACPICA code in Linux and the upstream ACPICA code, referred to as +"ACPICA Divergences". + +The various sources of ACPICA divergences include: + 1. Legacy divergences - Before the current ACPICA release process was + established, there already had been divergences between Linux and + ACPICA. Over the past several years those divergences have been greatly + reduced, but there still are several ones and it takes time to figure + out the underlying reasons for their existence. + 2. Manual modifications - Any manual modification (eg. coding style fixes) + made directly in the Linux sources obviously hurts the ACPICA release + automation. Thus it is recommended to fix such issues in the ACPICA + upstream source code and generate the linuxized fix using the ACPICA + release utilities (please refer to Section 4 below for the details). + 3. Linux specific features - Sometimes it's impossible to use the + current ACPICA APIs to implement features required by the Linux kernel, + so Linux developers occasionally have to change ACPICA code directly. + Those changes may not be acceptable by ACPICA upstream and in such cases + they are left as committed ACPICA divergences unless the ACPICA side can + implement new mechanisms as replacements for them. + 4. ACPICA release fixups - ACPICA only tests commits using a set of the + user space simulation utilities, thus the linuxized ACPICA patches may + break the Linux kernel, leaving us build/boot failures. In order to + avoid breaking Linux bisection, fixes are applied directly to the + linuxized ACPICA patches during the release process. When the release + fixups are backported to the upstream ACPICA sources, they must follow + the upstream ACPICA rules and so further modifications may appear. + That may result in the appearance of new divergences. + 5. Fast tracking of ACPICA commits - Some ACPICA commits are regression + fixes or stable-candidate material, so they are applied in advance with + respect to the ACPICA release process. If such commits are reverted or + rebased on the ACPICA side in order to offer better solutions, new ACPICA + divergences are generated. + +ACPICA Development +================== + +This paragraph guides Linux developers to use the ACPICA upstream release +utilities to obtain Linux patches corresponding to upstream ACPICA commits +before they become available from the ACPICA release process. + + 1. Cherry-pick an ACPICA commit + + First you need to git clone the ACPICA repository and the ACPICA change + you want to cherry pick must be committed into the local repository. + + Then the gen-patch.sh command can help to cherry-pick an ACPICA commit + from the ACPICA local repository:: + + $ git clone https://github.com/acpica/acpica + $ cd acpica + $ generate/linux/gen-patch.sh -u [commit ID] + + Here the commit ID is the ACPICA local repository commit ID you want to + cherry pick. It can be omitted if the commit is "HEAD". + + 2. Cherry-pick recent ACPICA commits + + Sometimes you need to rebase your code on top of the most recent ACPICA + changes that haven't been applied to Linux yet. + + You can generate the ACPICA release series yourself and rebase your code on + top of the generated ACPICA release patches:: + + $ git clone https://github.com/acpica/acpica + $ cd acpica + $ generate/linux/make-patches.sh -u [commit ID] + + The commit ID should be the last ACPICA commit accepted by Linux. Usually, + it is the commit modifying ACPI_CA_VERSION. It can be found by executing + "git blame source/include/acpixf.h" and referencing the line that contains + "ACPI_CA_VERSION". + + 3. Inspect the current divergences + + If you have local copies of both Linux and upstream ACPICA, you can generate + a diff file indicating the state of the current divergences:: + + # git clone https://github.com/acpica/acpica + # git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git + # cd acpica + # generate/linux/divergence.sh -s ../linux diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/acpi/scan_handlers.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/acpi/scan_handlers.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..7a197b3a3 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/acpi/scan_handlers.rst @@ -0,0 +1,83 @@ +..

Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> + +During system initialization and ACPI-based device hot-add, the ACPI namespace +is scanned in search of device objects that generally represent various pieces +of hardware. This causes a struct acpi_device object to be created and +registered with the driver core for every device object in the ACPI namespace +and the hierarchy of those struct acpi_device objects reflects the namespace +layout (i.e. parent device objects in the namespace are represented by parent +struct acpi_device objects and analogously for their children). Those struct +acpi_device objects are referred to as "device nodes" in what follows, but they +should not be confused with struct device_node objects used by the Device Trees +parsing code (although their role is analogous to the role of those objects). + +During ACPI-based device hot-remove device nodes representing pieces of hardware +being removed are unregistered and deleted. + +The core ACPI namespace scanning code in drivers/acpi/scan.c carries out basic +initialization of device nodes, such as retrieving common configuration +information from the device objects represented by them and populating them with +appropriate data, but some of them require additional handling after they have +been registered. For example, if the given device node represents a PCI host +bridge, its registration should cause the PCI bus under that bridge to be +enumerated and PCI devices on that bus to be registered with the driver core. +Similarly, if the device node represents a PCI interrupt link, it is necessary +to configure that link so that the kernel can use it. + +Those additional configuration tasks usually depend on the type of the hardware +component represented by the given device node which can be determined on the +basis of the device node's hardware ID (HID). They are performed by objects +called ACPI scan handlers represented by the following structure:: + + struct acpi_scan_handler { + const struct acpi_device_id *ids; + struct list_head list_node; + int (*attach)(struct acpi_device *dev, const struct acpi_device_id *id); + void (*detach)(struct acpi_device *dev); + }; + +where ids is the list of IDs of device nodes the given handler is supposed to +take care of, list_node is the hook to the global list of ACPI scan handlers +maintained by the ACPI core and the .attach() and .detach() callbacks are +executed, respectively, after registration of new device nodes and before +unregistration of device nodes the handler attached to previously. + +The namespace scanning function, acpi_bus_scan(), first registers all of the +device nodes in the given namespace scope with the driver core. Then, it tries +to match a scan handler against each of them using the ids arrays of the +available scan handlers. If a matching scan handler is found, its .attach() +callback is executed for the given device node. If that callback returns 1, +that means that the handler has claimed the device node and is now responsible +for carrying out any additional configuration tasks related to it. It also will +be responsible for preparing the device node for unregistration in that case. +The device node's handler field is then populated with the address of the scan +handler that has claimed it. + +If the .attach() callback returns 0, it means that the device node is not +interesting to the given scan handler and may be matched against the next scan +handler in the list. If it returns a (negative) error code, that means that +the namespace scan should be terminated due to a serious error. The error code +returned should then reflect the type of the error. + +The namespace trimming function, acpi_bus_trim(), first executes .detach() +callbacks from the scan handlers of all device nodes in the given namespace +scope (if they have scan handlers). Next, it unregisters all of the device +nodes in that scope. + +ACPI scan handlers can be added to the list maintained by the ACPI core with the +help of the acpi_scan_add_handler() function taking a pointer to the new scan +handler as an argument. The order in which scan handlers are added to the list +is the order in which they are matched against device nodes during namespace +scans. + +All scan handles must be added to the list before acpi_bus_scan() is run for the +first time and they cannot be removed from it. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/aperture.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/aperture.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..d173f4e7a --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/aperture.rst @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +..

It is not yet a +detailed explanation of the clock api in include/linux/clk.h, but +perhaps someday it will include that information. + +Introduction and interface split +================================ + +The common clk framework is an interface to control the clock nodes +available on various devices today. This may come in the form of clock +gating, rate adjustment, muxing or other operations. This framework is +enabled with the CONFIG_COMMON_CLK option. + +The interface itself is divided into two halves, each shielded from the +details of its counterpart. First is the common definition of struct +clk which unifies the framework-level accounting and infrastructure that +has traditionally been duplicated across a variety of platforms. Second +is a common implementation of the clk.h api, defined in +drivers/clk/clk.c. Finally there is struct clk_ops, whose operations +are invoked by the clk api implementation. + +The second half of the interface is comprised of the hardware-specific +callbacks registered with struct clk_ops and the corresponding +hardware-specific structures needed to model a particular clock. For +the remainder of this document any reference to a callback in struct +clk_ops, such as .enable or .set_rate, implies the hardware-specific +implementation of that code. Likewise, references to struct clk_foo +serve as a convenient shorthand for the implementation of the +hardware-specific bits for the hypothetical "foo" hardware. + +Tying the two halves of this interface together is struct clk_hw, which +is defined in struct clk_foo and pointed to within struct clk_core. This +allows for easy navigation between the two discrete halves of the common +clock interface. + +Common data structures and api +============================== + +Below is the common struct clk_core definition from +drivers/clk/clk.c, modified for brevity:: + + struct clk_core { + const char *name; + const struct clk_ops *ops; + struct clk_hw *hw; + struct module *owner; + struct clk_core *parent; + const char **parent_names; + struct clk_core **parents; + u8 num_parents; + u8 new_parent_index; + ... + }; + +The members above make up the core of the clk tree topology. The clk +api itself defines several driver-facing functions which operate on +struct clk. That api is documented in include/linux/clk.h. + +Platforms and devices utilizing the common struct clk_core use the struct +clk_ops pointer in struct clk_core to perform the hardware-specific parts of +the operations defined in clk-provider.h:: + + struct clk_ops { + int (*prepare)(struct clk_hw *hw); + void (*unprepare)(struct clk_hw *hw); + int (*is_prepared)(struct clk_hw *hw); + void (*unprepare_unused)(struct clk_hw *hw); + int (*enable)(struct clk_hw *hw); + void (*disable)(struct clk_hw *hw); + int (*is_enabled)(struct clk_hw *hw); + void (*disable_unused)(struct clk_hw *hw); + unsigned long (*recalc_rate)(struct clk_hw *hw, + unsigned long parent_rate); + long (*round_rate)(struct clk_hw *hw, + unsigned long rate, + unsigned long *parent_rate); + int (*determine_rate)(struct clk_hw *hw, + struct clk_rate_request *req); + int (*set_parent)(struct clk_hw *hw, u8 index); + u8 (*get_parent)(struct clk_hw *hw); + int (*set_rate)(struct clk_hw *hw, + unsigned long rate, + unsigned long parent_rate); + int (*set_rate_and_parent)(struct clk_hw *hw, + unsigned long rate, + unsigned long parent_rate, + u8 index); + unsigned long (*recalc_accuracy)(struct clk_hw *hw, + unsigned long parent_accuracy); + int (*get_phase)(struct clk_hw *hw); + int (*set_phase)(struct clk_hw *hw, int degrees); + void (*init)(struct clk_hw *hw); + void (*debug_init)(struct clk_hw *hw, + struct dentry *dentry); + }; + +Hardware clk implementations +============================ + +The strength of the common struct clk_core comes from its .ops and .hw pointers +which abstract the details of struct clk from the hardware-specific bits, and +vice versa. To illustrate consider the simple gateable clk implementation in +drivers/clk/clk-gate.c:: + + struct clk_gate { + struct clk_hw hw; + void __iomem *reg; + u8 bit_idx; + ... + }; + +struct clk_gate contains struct clk_hw hw as well as hardware-specific +knowledge about which register and bit controls this clk's gating. +Nothing about clock topology or accounting, such as enable_count or +notifier_count, is needed here. That is all handled by the common +framework code and struct clk_core. + +Let's walk through enabling this clk from driver code:: + + struct clk *clk; + clk = clk_get(NULL, "my_gateable_clk"); + + clk_prepare(clk); + clk_enable(clk); + +The call graph for clk_enable is very simple:: + + clk_enable(clk); + clk->ops->enable(clk->hw); + [resolves to...] + clk_gate_enable(hw); + [resolves struct clk gate with to_clk_gate(hw)] + clk_gate_set_bit(gate); + +And the definition of clk_gate_set_bit:: + + static void clk_gate_set_bit(struct clk_gate *gate) + { + u32 reg; + + reg = __raw_readl(gate->reg); + reg |= BIT(gate->bit_idx); + writel(reg, gate->reg); + } + +Note that to_clk_gate is defined as:: + + #define to_clk_gate(_hw) container_of(_hw, struct clk_gate, hw) + +This pattern of abstraction is used for every clock hardware +representation. + +Supporting your own clk hardware +================================ + +When implementing support for a new type of clock it is only necessary to +include the following header:: + + #include <linux/clk-provider.h> + +To construct a clk hardware structure for your platform you must define +the following:: + + struct clk_foo { + struct clk_hw hw; + ... hardware specific data goes here ... + }; + +To take advantage of your data you'll need to support valid operations +for your clk:: + + struct clk_ops clk_foo_ops = { + .enable = &clk_foo_enable, + .disable = &clk_foo_disable, + }; + +Implement the above functions using container_of:: + + #define to_clk_foo(_hw) container_of(_hw, struct clk_foo, hw) + + int clk_foo_enable(struct clk_hw *hw) + { + struct clk_foo *foo; + + foo = to_clk_foo(hw); + + ... perform magic on foo ... + + return 0; + }; + +Below is a matrix detailing which clk_ops are mandatory based upon the +hardware capabilities of that clock.

This function simply populates struct clk_foo's +data and then passes the common struct clk parameters to the framework +with a call to:: + + clk_register(...) + +See the basic clock types in ``drivers/clk/clk-*.c`` for examples. + +Disabling clock gating of unused clocks +======================================= + +Sometimes during development it can be useful to be able to bypass the +default disabling of unused clocks. For example, if drivers aren't enabling +clocks properly but rely on them being on from the bootloader, bypassing +the disabling means that the driver will remain functional while the issues +are sorted out. + +To bypass this disabling, include "clk_ignore_unused" in the bootargs to the +kernel. + +Locking +======= + +The common clock framework uses two global locks, the prepare lock and the +enable lock. + +The enable lock is a spinlock and is held across calls to the .enable, +.disable operations. Those operations are thus not allowed to sleep, +and calls to the clk_enable(), clk_disable() API functions are allowed in +atomic context. + +For clk_is_enabled() API, it is also designed to be allowed to be used in +atomic context. However, it doesn't really make any sense to hold the enable +lock in core, unless you want to do something else with the information of +the enable state with that lock held. Otherwise, seeing if a clk is enabled is +a one-shot read of the enabled state, which could just as easily change after +the function returns because the lock is released. Thus the user of this API +needs to handle synchronizing the read of the state with whatever they're +using it for to make sure that the enable state doesn't change during that +time. + +The prepare lock is a mutex and is held across calls to all other operations. +All those operations are allowed to sleep, and calls to the corresponding API +functions are not allowed in atomic context. + +This effectively divides operations in two groups from a locking perspective. + +Drivers don't need to manually protect resources shared between the operations +of one group, regardless of whether those resources are shared by multiple +clocks or not. However, access to resources that are shared between operations +of the two groups needs to be protected by the drivers. An example of such a +resource would be a register that controls both the clock rate and the clock +enable/disable state. + +The clock framework is reentrant, in that a driver is allowed to call clock +framework functions from within its implementation of clock operations. This +can for instance cause a .set_rate operation of one clock being called from +within the .set_rate operation of another clock. This case must be considered +in the driver implementations, but the code flow is usually controlled by the +driver in that case. + +Note that locking must also be considered when code outside of the common +clock framework needs to access resources used by the clock operations. This +is considered out of scope of this document. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/component.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/component.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..57e375907 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/component.rst @@ -0,0 +1,19 @@ +.. _component: + +====================================== +Component Helper for Aggregate Drivers +====================================== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/base/component.c + :doc: overview + + +API +=== + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/component.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/base/component.c + :export: + diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/connector.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/connector.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..631b84a48 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/connector.rst @@ -0,0 +1,157 @@ +..

The +recommended protocol which uses such a header is as following: + +msg->seq and msg->ack are used to determine message genealogy. When +someone sends a message, they use a locally unique sequence and random +acknowledge number. The sequence number may be copied into +nlmsghdr->nlmsg_seq too. + +The sequence number is incremented with each message sent. + +If you expect a reply to the message, then the sequence number in the +received message MUST be the same as in the original message, and the +acknowledge number MUST be the same + 1. + +If we receive a message and its sequence number is not equal to one we +are expecting, then it is a new message. If we receive a message and +its sequence number is the same as one we are expecting, but its +acknowledge is not equal to the sequence number in the original +message + 1, then it is a new message. + +Obviously, the protocol header contains the above id. + +The connector allows event notification in the following form: kernel +driver or userspace process can ask connector to notify it when +selected ids will be turned on or off (registered or unregistered its +callback). It is done by sending a special command to the connector +driver (it also registers itself with id={-1, -1}). + +As example of this usage can be found in the cn_test.c module which +uses the connector to request notification and to send messages. + +Reliability +=========== + +Netlink itself is not a reliable protocol.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +=============== +Console Drivers +=============== + +The Linux kernel has 2 general types of console drivers. The first type is +assigned by the kernel to all the virtual consoles during the boot process. +This type will be called 'system driver', and only one system driver is allowed +to exist. The system driver is persistent and it can never be unloaded, though +it may become inactive. + +The second type has to be explicitly loaded and unloaded. This will be called +'modular driver' by this document. Multiple modular drivers can coexist at +any time with each driver sharing the console with other drivers including +the system driver.

(Exception: Drivers that +call do_take_over_console() will succeed in the takeover regardless of the type +of driver occupying the consoles.) They can only take over the console that is +occupied by the system driver.

An example of an application that sets the + console to KD_GRAPHICS is X. + +How useful is this feature? This is very useful for console driver +developers. By unbinding the driver from the console layer, one can unload the +driver, make changes, recompile, reload and rebind the driver without any need +for rebooting the kernel. For regular users who may want to switch from +framebuffer console to VGA console and vice versa, this feature also makes +this possible.

All drivers, except system drivers, must call either do_register_con_driver() + or do_take_over_console(). do_register_con_driver() will just add the driver + to the console's internal list. It won't take over the + console. do_take_over_console(), as it name implies, will also take over (or + bind to) the console. + +2. All resources allocated during con->con_init() must be released in + con->con_deinit(). + +3. All resources allocated in con->con_startup() must be released when the + driver, which was previously bound, becomes unbound. The console layer + does not have a complementary call to con->con_startup() so it's up to the + driver to check when it's legal to release these resources. Calling + con_is_bound() in con->con_deinit() will help. If the call returned + false(), then it's safe to release the resources. This balance has to be + ensured because con->con_startup() can be called again when a request to + rebind the driver to the console arrives. + +4. Upon exit of the driver, ensure that the driver is totally unbound. If the + condition is satisfied, then the driver must call do_unregister_con_driver() + or give_up_console(). + +5. do_unregister_con_driver() can also be called on conditions which make it + impossible for the driver to service console requests. This can happen + with the framebuffer console that suddenly lost all of its drivers. + +The current crop of console drivers should still work correctly, but binding +and unbinding them may cause problems. With minimal fixes, these drivers can +be made to work correctly. + +Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/cxl/index.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/cxl/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..036e49553 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/cxl/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,12 @@ +..

It contains some amount of volatile memory, persistent memory, +or both. It is enumerated as a PCI device for configuration and passing +messages over an MMIO mailbox. Its contribution to the System Physical +Address space is handled via HDM (Host Managed Device Memory) decoders +that optionally define a device's contribution to an interleaved address +range across multiple devices underneath a host-bridge or interleaved +across host-bridges. + +CXL Bus: Theory of Operation +============================ +Similar to how a RAID driver takes disk objects and assembles them into a new +logical device, the CXL subsystem is tasked to take PCIe and ACPI objects and +assemble them into a CXL.mem decode topology. The need for runtime configuration +of the CXL.mem topology is also similar to RAID in that different environments +with the same hardware configuration may decide to assemble the topology in +contrasting ways. One may choose performance (RAID0) striping memory across +multiple Host Bridges and endpoints while another may opt for fault tolerance +and disable any striping in the CXL.mem topology. + +Platform firmware enumerates a menu of interleave options at the "CXL root port" +(Linux term for the top of the CXL decode topology). From there, PCIe topology +dictates which endpoints can participate in which Host Bridge decode regimes. +Each PCIe Switch in the path between the root and an endpoint introduces a point +at which the interleave can be split. For example platform firmware may say at a +given range only decodes to 1 one Host Bridge, but that Host Bridge may in turn +interleave cycles across multiple Root Ports. An intervening Switch between a +port and an endpoint may interleave cycles across multiple Downstream Switch +Ports, etc. + +Here is a sample listing of a CXL topology defined by 'cxl_test'. The 'cxl_test' +module generates an emulated CXL topology of 2 Host Bridges each with 2 Root +Ports.

That is, a +part of the CPU's address space is interpreted not as accesses to +memory, but as accesses to a device. Some architectures define devices +to be at a fixed address, but most have some method of discovering +devices. The PCI bus walk is a good example of such a scheme. This +document does not cover how to receive such an address, but assumes you +are starting with one. Physical addresses are of type unsigned long. + +This address should not be used directly. Instead, to get an address +suitable for passing to the accessor functions described below, you +should call ioremap(). An address suitable for accessing +the device will be returned to you. + +After you've finished using the device (say, in your module's exit +routine), call iounmap() in order to return the address +space to the kernel. Most architectures allocate new address space each +time you call ioremap(), and they can run out unless you +call iounmap(). + +Accessing the device +-------------------- + +The part of the interface most used by drivers is reading and writing +memory-mapped registers on the device. Linux provides interfaces to read +and write 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit quantities. Due to a +historical accident, these are named byte, word, long and quad accesses. +Both read and write accesses are supported; there is no prefetch support +at this time. + +The functions are named readb(), readw(), readl(), readq(), +readb_relaxed(), readw_relaxed(), readl_relaxed(), readq_relaxed(), +writeb(), writew(), writel() and writeq(). + +Some devices (such as framebuffers) would like to use larger transfers than +8 bytes at a time. For these devices, the memcpy_toio(), +memcpy_fromio() and memset_io() functions are +provided. Do not use memset or memcpy on IO addresses; they are not +guaranteed to copy data in order. + +The read and write functions are defined to be ordered. That is the +compiler is not permitted to reorder the I/O sequence. When the ordering +can be compiler optimised, you can use __readb() and friends to +indicate the relaxed ordering. Use this with care. + +While the basic functions are defined to be synchronous with respect to +each other and ordered with respect to each other the busses the devices +sit on may themselves have asynchronicity. In particular many authors +are burned by the fact that PCI bus writes are posted asynchronously. A +driver author must issue a read from the same device to ensure that +writes have occurred in the specific cases the author cares. This kind +of property cannot be hidden from driver writers in the API. In some +cases, the read used to flush the device may be expected to fail (if the +card is resetting, for example). In that case, the read should be done +from config space, which is guaranteed to soft-fail if the card doesn't +respond. + +The following is an example of flushing a write to a device when the +driver would like to ensure the write's effects are visible prior to +continuing execution:: + + static inline void + qla1280_disable_intrs(struct scsi_qla_host *ha) + { + struct device_reg *reg; + + reg = ha->iobase; + /* disable risc and host interrupts */ + WRT_REG_WORD(®->ictrl, 0); + /* + * The following read will ensure that the above write + * has been received by the device before we return from this + * function. + */ + RD_REG_WORD(®->ictrl); + ha->flags.ints_enabled = 0; + } + +PCI ordering rules also guarantee that PIO read responses arrive after any +outstanding DMA writes from that bus, since for some devices the result of +a readb() call may signal to the driver that a DMA transaction is +complete. In many cases, however, the driver may want to indicate that the +next readb() call has no relation to any previous DMA writes +performed by the device. The driver can use readb_relaxed() for +these cases, although only some platforms will honor the relaxed +semantics. Using the relaxed read functions will provide significant +performance benefits on platforms that support it. The qla2xxx driver +provides examples of how to use readX_relaxed(). In many cases, a majority +of the driver's readX() calls can safely be converted to readX_relaxed() +calls, since only a few will indicate or depend on DMA completion. + +Port Space Accesses +=================== + +Port Space Explained +-------------------- + +Another form of IO commonly supported is Port Space. This is a range of +addresses separate to the normal memory address space. Access to these +addresses is generally not as fast as accesses to the memory mapped +addresses, and it also has a potentially smaller address space. + +Unlike memory mapped IO, no preparation is required to access port +space. + +Accessing Port Space +-------------------- + +Accesses to this space are provided through a set of functions which +allow 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit accesses; also known as byte, word and +long. These functions are inb(), inw(), +inl(), outb(), outw() and +outl(). + +Some variants are provided for these functions. Some devices require +that accesses to their ports are slowed down. This functionality is +provided by appending a ``_p`` to the end of the function. +There are also equivalents to memcpy. The ins() and +outs() functions copy bytes, words or longs to the given +port. + +__iomem pointer tokens +====================== + +The data type for an MMIO address is an ``__iomem`` qualified pointer, such as +``void __iomem *reg``. On most architectures it is a regular pointer that +points to a virtual memory address and can be offset or dereferenced, but in +portable code, it must only be passed from and to functions that explicitly +operated on an ``__iomem`` token, in particular the ioremap() and +readl()/writel() functions. The 'sparse' semantic code checker can be used to +verify that this is done correctly. + +While on most architectures, ioremap() creates a page table entry for an +uncached virtual address pointing to the physical MMIO address, some +architectures require special instructions for MMIO, and the ``__iomem`` pointer +just encodes the physical address or an offsettable cookie that is interpreted +by readl()/writel(). + +Differences between I/O access functions +======================================== + +readq(), readl(), readw(), readb(), writeq(), writel(), writew(), writeb() + + These are the most generic accessors, providing serialization against other + MMIO accesses and DMA accesses as well as fixed endianness for accessing + little-endian PCI devices and on-chip peripherals. Portable device drivers + should generally use these for any access to ``__iomem`` pointers. + + Note that posted writes are not strictly ordered against a spinlock, see + Documentation/driver-api/io_ordering.rst. + +readq_relaxed(), readl_relaxed(), readw_relaxed(), readb_relaxed(), +writeq_relaxed(), writel_relaxed(), writew_relaxed(), writeb_relaxed() + + On architectures that require an expensive barrier for serializing against + DMA, these "relaxed" versions of the MMIO accessors only serialize against + each other, but contain a less expensive barrier operation. A device driver + might use these in a particularly performance sensitive fast path, with a + comment that explains why the usage in a specific location is safe without + the extra barriers. + + See memory-barriers.txt for a more detailed discussion on the precise ordering + guarantees of the non-relaxed and relaxed versions. + +ioread64(), ioread32(), ioread16(), ioread8(), +iowrite64(), iowrite32(), iowrite16(), iowrite8() + + These are an alternative to the normal readl()/writel() functions, with almost + identical behavior, but they can also operate on ``__iomem`` tokens returned + for mapping PCI I/O space with pci_iomap() or ioport_map(). On architectures + that require special instructions for I/O port access, this adds a small + overhead for an indirect function call implemented in lib/iomap.c, while on + other architectures, these are simply aliases. + +ioread64be(), ioread32be(), ioread16be() +iowrite64be(), iowrite32be(), iowrite16be() + + These behave in the same way as the ioread32()/iowrite32() family, but with + reversed byte order, for accessing devices with big-endian MMIO registers. + Device drivers that can operate on either big-endian or little-endian + registers may have to implement a custom wrapper function that picks one or + the other depending on which device was found. + + Note: On some architectures, the normal readl()/writel() functions + traditionally assume that devices are the same endianness as the CPU, while + using a hardware byte-reverse on the PCI bus when running a big-endian kernel. + Drivers that use readl()/writel() this way are generally not portable, but + tend to be limited to a particular SoC. + +hi_lo_readq(), lo_hi_readq(), hi_lo_readq_relaxed(), lo_hi_readq_relaxed(), +ioread64_lo_hi(), ioread64_hi_lo(), ioread64be_lo_hi(), ioread64be_hi_lo(), +hi_lo_writeq(), lo_hi_writeq(), hi_lo_writeq_relaxed(), lo_hi_writeq_relaxed(), +iowrite64_lo_hi(), iowrite64_hi_lo(), iowrite64be_lo_hi(), iowrite64be_hi_lo() + + Some device drivers have 64-bit registers that cannot be accessed atomically + on 32-bit architectures but allow two consecutive 32-bit accesses instead. + Since it depends on the particular device which of the two halves has to be + accessed first, a helper is provided for each combination of 64-bit accessors + with either low/high or high/low word ordering. A device driver must include + either <linux/io-64-nonatomic-lo-hi.h> or <linux/io-64-nonatomic-hi-lo.h> to + get the function definitions along with helpers that redirect the normal + readq()/writeq() to them on architectures that do not provide 64-bit access + natively. + +__raw_readq(), __raw_readl(), __raw_readw(), __raw_readb(), +__raw_writeq(), __raw_writel(), __raw_writew(), __raw_writeb() + + These are low-level MMIO accessors without barriers or byteorder changes and + architecture specific behavior. Accesses are usually atomic in the sense that + a four-byte __raw_readl() does not get split into individual byte loads, but + multiple consecutive accesses can be combined on the bus. In portable code, it + is only safe to use these to access memory behind a device bus but not MMIO + registers, as there are no ordering guarantees with regard to other MMIO + accesses or even spinlocks. The byte order is generally the same as for normal + memory, so unlike the other functions, these can be used to copy data between + kernel memory and device memory. + +inl(), inw(), inb(), outl(), outw(), outb() + + PCI I/O port resources traditionally require separate helpers as they are + implemented using special instructions on the x86 architecture. On most other + architectures, these are mapped to readl()/writel() style accessors + internally, usually pointing to a fixed area in virtual memory. Instead of an + ``__iomem`` pointer, the address is a 32-bit integer token to identify a port + number. PCI requires I/O port access to be non-posted, meaning that an outb() + must complete before the following code executes, while a normal writeb() may + still be in progress. On architectures that correctly implement this, I/O port + access is therefore ordered against spinlocks. Many non-x86 PCI host bridge + implementations and CPU architectures however fail to implement non-posted I/O + space on PCI, so they can end up being posted on such hardware. + + In some architectures, the I/O port number space has a 1:1 mapping to + ``__iomem`` pointers, but this is not recommended and device drivers should + not rely on that for portability. Similarly, an I/O port number as described + in a PCI base address register may not correspond to the port number as seen + by a device driver. Portable drivers need to read the port number for the + resource provided by the kernel. + + There are no direct 64-bit I/O port accessors, but pci_iomap() in combination + with ioread64/iowrite64 can be used instead. + +inl_p(), inw_p(), inb_p(), outl_p(), outw_p(), outb_p() + + On ISA devices that require specific timing, the _p versions of the I/O + accessors add a small delay. On architectures that do not have ISA buses, + these are aliases to the normal inb/outb helpers. + +readsq, readsl, readsw, readsb +writesq, writesl, writesw, writesb +ioread64_rep, ioread32_rep, ioread16_rep, ioread8_rep +iowrite64_rep, iowrite32_rep, iowrite16_rep, iowrite8_rep +insl, insw, insb, outsl, outsw, outsb + + These are helpers that access the same address multiple times, usually to copy + data between kernel memory byte stream and a FIFO buffer. Unlike the normal + MMIO accessors, these do not perform a byteswap on big-endian kernels, so the + first byte in the FIFO register corresponds to the first byte in the memory + buffer regardless of the architecture. + +Device memory mapping modes +=========================== + +Some architectures support multiple modes for mapping device memory. +ioremap_*() variants provide a common abstraction around these +architecture-specific modes, with a shared set of semantics. + +ioremap() is the most common mapping type, and is applicable to typical device +memory (e.g. I/O registers). Other modes can offer weaker or stronger +guarantees, if supported by the architecture. From most to least common, they +are as follows: + +ioremap() +--------- + +The default mode, suitable for most memory-mapped devices, e.g. control +registers. Memory mapped using ioremap() has the following characteristics: + +* Uncached - CPU-side caches are bypassed, and all reads and writes are handled + directly by the device +* No speculative operations - the CPU may not issue a read or write to this + memory, unless the instruction that does so has been reached in committed + program flow. +* No reordering - The CPU may not reorder accesses to this memory mapping with + respect to each other. On some architectures, this relies on barriers in + readl_relaxed()/writel_relaxed(). +* No repetition - The CPU may not issue multiple reads or writes for a single + program instruction. +* No write-combining - Each I/O operation results in one discrete read or write + being issued to the device, and multiple writes are not combined into larger + writes. This may or may not be enforced when using __raw I/O accessors or + pointer dereferences. +* Non-executable - The CPU is not allowed to speculate instruction execution + from this memory (it probably goes without saying, but you're also not + allowed to jump into device memory). + +On many platforms and buses (e.g. PCI), writes issued through ioremap() +mappings are posted, which means that the CPU does not wait for the write to +actually reach the target device before retiring the write instruction. + +On many platforms, I/O accesses must be aligned with respect to the access +size; failure to do so will result in an exception or unpredictable results. + +ioremap_wc() +------------ + +Maps I/O memory as normal memory with write combining. Unlike ioremap(), + +* The CPU may speculatively issue reads from the device that the program + didn't actually execute, and may choose to basically read whatever it wants. +* The CPU may reorder operations as long as the result is consistent from the + program's point of view. +* The CPU may write to the same location multiple times, even when the program + issued a single write. +* The CPU may combine several writes into a single larger write. + +This mode is typically used for video framebuffers, where it can increase +performance of writes. It can also be used for other blocks of memory in +devices (e.g. buffers or shared memory), but care must be taken as accesses are +not guaranteed to be ordered with respect to normal ioremap() MMIO register +accesses without explicit barriers. + +On a PCI bus, it is usually safe to use ioremap_wc() on MMIO areas marked as +``IORESOURCE_PREFETCH``, but it may not be used on those without the flag. +For on-chip devices, there is no corresponding flag, but a driver can use +ioremap_wc() on a device that is known to be safe. + +ioremap_wt() +------------ + +Maps I/O memory as normal memory with write-through caching. Like ioremap_wc(), +but also, + +* The CPU may cache writes issued to and reads from the device, and serve reads + from that cache. + +This mode is sometimes used for video framebuffers, where drivers still expect +writes to reach the device in a timely manner (and not be stuck in the CPU +cache), but reads may be served from the cache for efficiency. However, it is +rarely useful these days, as framebuffer drivers usually perform writes only, +for which ioremap_wc() is more efficient (as it doesn't needlessly trash the +cache). Most drivers should not use this. + +ioremap_np() +------------ + +Like ioremap(), but explicitly requests non-posted write semantics. On some +architectures and buses, ioremap() mappings have posted write semantics, which +means that writes can appear to "complete" from the point of view of the +CPU before the written data actually arrives at the target device. Writes are +still ordered with respect to other writes and reads from the same device, but +due to the posted write semantics, this is not the case with respect to other +devices. ioremap_np() explicitly requests non-posted semantics, which means +that the write instruction will not appear to complete until the device has +received (and to some platform-specific extent acknowledged) the written data. + +This mapping mode primarily exists to cater for platforms with bus fabrics that +require this particular mapping mode to work correctly. These platforms set the +``IORESOURCE_MEM_NONPOSTED`` flag for a resource that requires ioremap_np() +semantics and portable drivers should use an abstraction that automatically +selects it where appropriate (see the `Higher-level ioremap abstractions`_ +section below). + +The bare ioremap_np() is only available on some architectures; on others, it +always returns NULL. Drivers should not normally use it, unless they are +platform-specific or they derive benefit from non-posted writes where +supported, and can fall back to ioremap() otherwise. The normal approach to +ensure posted write completion is to do a dummy read after a write as +explained in `Accessing the device`_, which works with ioremap() on all +platforms. + +ioremap_np() should never be used for PCI drivers. PCI memory space writes are +always posted, even on architectures that otherwise implement ioremap_np(). +Using ioremap_np() for PCI BARs will at best result in posted write semantics, +and at worst result in complete breakage. + +Note that non-posted write semantics are orthogonal to CPU-side ordering +guarantees. A CPU may still choose to issue other reads or writes before a +non-posted write instruction retires. See the previous section on MMIO access +functions for details on the CPU side of things. + +ioremap_uc() +------------ + +ioremap_uc() behaves like ioremap() except that on the x86 architecture without +'PAT' mode, it marks memory as uncached even when the MTRR has designated +it as cacheable, see Documentation/x86/pat.rst. + +Portable drivers should avoid the use of ioremap_uc(). + +ioremap_cache() +--------------- + +ioremap_cache() effectively maps I/O memory as normal RAM. CPU write-back +caches can be used, and the CPU is free to treat the device as if it were a +block of RAM. This should never be used for device memory which has side +effects of any kind, or which does not return the data previously written on +read. + +It should also not be used for actual RAM, as the returned pointer is an +``__iomem`` token. memremap() can be used for mapping normal RAM that is outside +of the linear kernel memory area to a regular pointer. + +Portable drivers should avoid the use of ioremap_cache(). + +Architecture example +-------------------- + +Here is how the above modes map to memory attribute settings on the ARM64 +architecture: + ++------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ +| API | Memory region type and cacheability | ++------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ +| ioremap_np() | Device-nGnRnE | ++------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ +| ioremap() | Device-nGnRE | ++------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ +| ioremap_uc() | (not implemented) | ++------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ +| ioremap_wc() | Normal-Non Cacheable | ++------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ +| ioremap_wt() | (not implemented; fallback to ioremap) | ++------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ +| ioremap_cache() | Normal-Write-Back Cacheable | ++------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ + +Higher-level ioremap abstractions +================================= + +Instead of using the above raw ioremap() modes, drivers are encouraged to use +higher-level APIs. These APIs may implement platform-specific logic to +automatically choose an appropriate ioremap mode on any given bus, allowing for +a platform-agnostic driver to work on those platforms without any special +cases. At the time of this writing, the following ioremap() wrappers have such +logic: + +devm_ioremap_resource() + + Can automatically select ioremap_np() over ioremap() according to platform + requirements, if the ``IORESOURCE_MEM_NONPOSTED`` flag is set on the struct + resource. Uses devres to automatically unmap the resource when the driver + probe() function fails or a device in unbound from its driver. + + Documented in Documentation/driver-api/driver-model/devres.rst. + +of_address_to_resource() + + Automatically sets the ``IORESOURCE_MEM_NONPOSTED`` flag for platforms that + require non-posted writes for certain buses (see the nonposted-mmio and + posted-mmio device tree properties). + +of_iomap() + + Maps the resource described in a ``reg`` property in the device tree, doing + all required translations. Automatically selects ioremap_np() according to + platform requirements, as above. + +pci_ioremap_bar(), pci_ioremap_wc_bar() + + Maps the resource described in a PCI base address without having to extract + the physical address first. + +pci_iomap(), pci_iomap_wc() + + Like pci_ioremap_bar()/pci_ioremap_bar(), but also works on I/O space when + used together with ioread32()/iowrite32() and similar accessors + +pcim_iomap() + + Like pci_iomap(), but uses devres to automatically unmap the resource when + the driver probe() function fails or a device in unbound from its driver + + Documented in Documentation/driver-api/driver-model/devres.rst. + +Not using these wrappers may make drivers unusable on certain platforms with +stricter rules for mapping I/O memory. + +Generalizing Access to System and I/O Memory +============================================ + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/iosys-map.h + :doc: overview + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/iosys-map.h + :internal: + +Public Functions Provided +========================= + +.. kernel-doc:: arch/x86/include/asm/io.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: lib/pci_iomap.c + :export: diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/device_link.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/device_link.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..ee913ae16 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/device_link.rst @@ -0,0 +1,320 @@ +.. _device_link: + +============ +Device links +============ + +By default, the driver core only enforces dependencies between devices +that are borne out of a parent/child relationship within the device +hierarchy: When suspending, resuming or shutting down the system, devices +are ordered based on this relationship, i.e. children are always suspended +before their parent, and the parent is always resumed before its children. + +Sometimes there is a need to represent device dependencies beyond the +mere parent/child relationship, e.g. between siblings, and have the +driver core automatically take care of them. + +Secondly, the driver core by default does not enforce any driver presence +dependencies, i.e. that one device must be bound to a driver before +another one can probe or function correctly. + +Often these two dependency types come together, so a device depends on +another one both with regards to driver presence *and* with regards to +suspend/resume and shutdown ordering. + +Device links allow representation of such dependencies in the driver core. + +In its standard or *managed* form, a device link combines *both* dependency +types: It guarantees correct suspend/resume and shutdown ordering between a +"supplier" device and its "consumer" devices, and it guarantees driver +presence on the supplier. The consumer devices are not probed before the +supplier is bound to a driver, and they're unbound before the supplier +is unbound. + +When driver presence on the supplier is irrelevant and only correct +suspend/resume and shutdown ordering is needed, the device link may +simply be set up with the ``DL_FLAG_STATELESS`` flag. In other words, +enforcing driver presence on the supplier is optional. + +Another optional feature is runtime PM integration: By setting the +``DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME`` flag on addition of the device link, the PM core +is instructed to runtime resume the supplier and keep it active +whenever and for as long as the consumer is runtime resumed. + +Usage +===== + +The earliest point in time when device links can be added is after +:c:func:`device_add()` has been called for the supplier and +:c:func:`device_initialize()` has been called for the consumer. + +It is legal to add them later, but care must be taken that the system +remains in a consistent state: E.g. a device link cannot be added in +the midst of a suspend/resume transition, so either commencement of +such a transition needs to be prevented with :c:func:`lock_system_sleep()`, +or the device link needs to be added from a function which is guaranteed +not to run in parallel to a suspend/resume transition, such as from a +device ``->probe`` callback or a boot-time PCI quirk. + +Another example for an inconsistent state would be a device link that +represents a driver presence dependency, yet is added from the consumer's +``->probe`` callback while the supplier hasn't started to probe yet: Had the +driver core known about the device link earlier, it wouldn't have probed the +consumer in the first place. The onus is thus on the consumer to check +presence of the supplier after adding the link, and defer probing on +non-presence. [Note that it is valid to create a link from the consumer's +``->probe`` callback while the supplier is still probing, but the consumer must +know that the supplier is functional already at the link creation time (that is +the case, for instance, if the consumer has just acquired some resources that +would not have been available had the supplier not been functional then).] + +If a device link with ``DL_FLAG_STATELESS`` set (i.e. a stateless device link) +is added in the ``->probe`` callback of the supplier or consumer driver, it is +typically deleted in its ``->remove`` callback for symmetry. That way, if the +driver is compiled as a module, the device link is added on module load and +orderly deleted on unload. The same restrictions that apply to device link +addition (e.g. exclusion of a parallel suspend/resume transition) apply equally +to deletion. Device links managed by the driver core are deleted automatically +by it. + +Several flags may be specified on device link addition, two of which +have already been mentioned above: ``DL_FLAG_STATELESS`` to express that no +driver presence dependency is needed (but only correct suspend/resume and +shutdown ordering) and ``DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME`` to express that runtime PM +integration is desired. + +Two other flags are specifically targeted at use cases where the device +link is added from the consumer's ``->probe`` callback: ``DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE`` +can be specified to runtime resume the supplier and prevent it from suspending +before the consumer is runtime suspended. ``DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_CONSUMER`` +causes the device link to be automatically purged when the consumer fails to +probe or later unbinds. + +Similarly, when the device link is added from supplier's ``->probe`` callback, +``DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_SUPPLIER`` causes the device link to be automatically +purged when the supplier fails to probe or later unbinds. + +If neither ``DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_CONSUMER`` nor ``DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_SUPPLIER`` +is set, ``DL_FLAG_AUTOPROBE_CONSUMER`` can be used to request the driver core +to probe for a driver for the consumer driver on the link automatically after +a driver has been bound to the supplier device. + +Note, however, that any combinations of ``DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_CONSUMER``, +``DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_SUPPLIER`` or ``DL_FLAG_AUTOPROBE_CONSUMER`` with +``DL_FLAG_STATELESS`` are invalid and cannot be used. + +Limitations +=========== + +Driver authors should be aware that a driver presence dependency for managed +device links (i.e. when ``DL_FLAG_STATELESS`` is not specified on link addition) +may cause probing of the consumer to be deferred indefinitely. This can become +a problem if the consumer is required to probe before a certain initcall level +is reached. Worse, if the supplier driver is blacklisted or missing, the +consumer will never be probed. + +Moreover, managed device links cannot be deleted directly. They are deleted +by the driver core when they are not necessary any more in accordance with the +``DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_CONSUMER`` and ``DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_SUPPLIER`` flags. +However, stateless device links (i.e. device links with ``DL_FLAG_STATELESS`` +set) are expected to be removed by whoever called :c:func:`device_link_add()` +to add them with the help of either :c:func:`device_link_del()` or +:c:func:`device_link_remove()`. + +Passing ``DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE`` along with ``DL_FLAG_STATELESS`` to +:c:func:`device_link_add()` may cause the PM-runtime usage counter of the +supplier device to remain nonzero after a subsequent invocation of either +:c:func:`device_link_del()` or :c:func:`device_link_remove()` to remove the +device link returned by it. This happens if :c:func:`device_link_add()` is +called twice in a row for the same consumer-supplier pair without removing the +link between these calls, in which case allowing the PM-runtime usage counter +of the supplier to drop on an attempt to remove the link may cause it to be +suspended while the consumer is still PM-runtime-active and that has to be +avoided. [To work around this limitation it is sufficient to let the consumer +runtime suspend at least once, or call :c:func:`pm_runtime_set_suspended()` for +it with PM-runtime disabled, between the :c:func:`device_link_add()` and +:c:func:`device_link_del()` or :c:func:`device_link_remove()` calls.] + +Sometimes drivers depend on optional resources. They are able to operate +in a degraded mode (reduced feature set or performance) when those resources +are not present. An example is an SPI controller that can use a DMA engine +or work in PIO mode. The controller can determine presence of the optional +resources at probe time but on non-presence there is no way to know whether +they will become available in the near future (due to a supplier driver +probing) or never. Consequently it cannot be determined whether to defer +probing or not. It would be possible to notify drivers when optional +resources become available after probing, but it would come at a high cost +for drivers as switching between modes of operation at runtime based on the +availability of such resources would be much more complex than a mechanism +based on probe deferral. In any case optional resources are beyond the +scope of device links. + +Examples +======== + +* An MMU device exists alongside a busmaster device, both are in the same + power domain. The MMU implements DMA address translation for the busmaster + device and shall be runtime resumed and kept active whenever and as long + as the busmaster device is active. The busmaster device's driver shall + not bind before the MMU is bound. To achieve this, a device link with + runtime PM integration is added from the busmaster device (consumer) + to the MMU device (supplier). The effect with regards to runtime PM + is the same as if the MMU was the parent of the master device. + + The fact that both devices share the same power domain would normally + suggest usage of a struct dev_pm_domain or struct generic_pm_domain, + however these are not independent devices that happen to share a power + switch, but rather the MMU device serves the busmaster device and is + useless without it. A device link creates a synthetic hierarchical + relationship between the devices and is thus more apt. + +* A Thunderbolt host controller comprises a number of PCIe hotplug ports + and an NHI device to manage the PCIe switch. On resume from system sleep, + the NHI device needs to re-establish PCI tunnels to attached devices + before the hotplug ports can resume. If the hotplug ports were children + of the NHI, this resume order would automatically be enforced by the + PM core, but unfortunately they're aunts. The solution is to add + device links from the hotplug ports (consumers) to the NHI device + (supplier). A driver presence dependency is not necessary for this + use case. + +* Discrete GPUs in hybrid graphics laptops often feature an HDA controller + for HDMI/DP audio. In the device hierarchy the HDA controller is a sibling + of the VGA device, yet both share the same power domain and the HDA + controller is only ever needed when an HDMI/DP display is attached to the + VGA device. A device link from the HDA controller (consumer) to the + VGA device (supplier) aptly represents this relationship. + +* ACPI allows definition of a device start order by way of _DEP objects. + A classical example is when ACPI power management methods on one device + are implemented in terms of I\ :sup:`2`\ C accesses and require a specific + I\ :sup:`2`\ C controller to be present and functional for the power + management of the device in question to work. + +* In some SoCs a functional dependency exists from display, video codec and + video processing IP cores on transparent memory access IP cores that handle + burst access and compression/decompression. + +Alternatives +============ + +* A struct dev_pm_domain can be used to override the bus, + class or device type callbacks. It is intended for devices sharing + a single on/off switch, however it does not guarantee a specific + suspend/resume ordering, this needs to be implemented separately. + It also does not by itself track the runtime PM status of the involved + devices and turn off the power switch only when all of them are runtime + suspended. Furthermore it cannot be used to enforce a specific shutdown + ordering or a driver presence dependency. + +* A struct generic_pm_domain is a lot more heavyweight than a + device link and does not allow for shutdown ordering or driver presence + dependencies. It also cannot be used on ACPI systems. + +Implementation +============== + +The device hierarchy, which -- as the name implies -- is a tree, +becomes a directed acyclic graph once device links are added. + +Ordering of these devices during suspend/resume is determined by the +dpm_list.

This interface is provided by :c:type:`struct + dma_buf_attachment <dma_buf_attachment>`. + +Any exporters or users of the dma-buf buffer sharing framework must have a +'select DMA_SHARED_BUFFER' in their respective Kconfigs. + +Userspace Interface Notes +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Mostly a DMA buffer file descriptor is simply an opaque object for userspace, +and hence the generic interface exposed is very minimal. There's a few things to +consider though: + +- Since kernel 3.12 the dma-buf FD supports the llseek system call, but only + with offset=0 and whence=SEEK_END|SEEK_SET. SEEK_SET is supported to allow + the usual size discover pattern size = SEEK_END(0); SEEK_SET(0).

Userspace can use this to detect support for discovering the dma-buf + size using llseek. + +- In order to avoid fd leaks on exec, the FD_CLOEXEC flag must be set + on the file descriptor.

It could give the newly exec'd application + access to buffers, via the leaked fd, to which it should otherwise + not be permitted access. + + The problem with doing this via a separate fcntl() call, versus doing it + atomically when the fd is created, is that this is inherently racy in a + multi-threaded app[3]. The issue is made worse when it is library code + opening/creating the file descriptor, as the application may not even be + aware of the fd's. + + To avoid this problem, userspace must have a way to request O_CLOEXEC + flag be set when the dma-buf fd is created.

Examples include: + +* Future fences, used in HWC1 to signal when a buffer isn't used by the display + any longer, and created with the screen update that makes the buffer visible. + The time this fence completes is entirely under userspace's control. + +* Proxy fences, proposed to handle &drm_syncobj for which the fence has not yet + been set.

Mixing indefinite fences with normal +in-kernel DMA fences does not work, even when a fallback timeout is included to +protect against malicious userspace: + +* Only the kernel knows about all DMA fence dependencies, userspace is not aware + of dependencies injected due to memory management or scheduler decisions. + +* Only userspace knows about all dependencies in indefinite fences and when + exactly they will complete, the kernel has no visibility. + +Furthermore the kernel has to be able to hold up userspace command submission +for memory management needs, which means we must support indefinite fences being +dependent upon DMA fences. If the kernel also support indefinite fences in the +kernel like a DMA fence, like any of the above proposal would, there is the +potential for deadlocks. + +.. kernel-render:: DOT + :alt: Indefinite Fencing Dependency Cycle + :caption: Indefinite Fencing Dependency Cycle + + digraph "Fencing Cycle" { + node [shape=box bgcolor=grey style=filled] + kernel [label="Kernel DMA Fences"] + userspace [label="userspace controlled fences"] + kernel -> userspace [label="memory management"] + userspace -> kernel [label="Future fence, fence proxy, ..."] + + { rank=same; kernel userspace } + } + +This means that the kernel might accidentally create deadlocks +through memory management dependencies which userspace is unaware of, which +randomly hangs workloads until the timeout kicks in. Workloads, which from +userspace's perspective, do not contain a deadlock. In such a mixed fencing +architecture there is no single entity with knowledge of all dependencies. +Thefore preventing such deadlocks from within the kernel is not possible. + +The only solution to avoid dependencies loops is by not allowing indefinite +fences in the kernel. This means: + +* No future fences, proxy fences or userspace fences imported as DMA fences, + with or without a timeout. + +* No DMA fences that signal end of batchbuffer for command submission where + userspace is allowed to use userspace fencing or long running compute + workloads. This also means no implicit fencing for shared buffers in these + cases. + +Recoverable Hardware Page Faults Implications +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Modern hardware supports recoverable page faults, which has a lot of +implications for DMA fences. + +First, a pending page fault obviously holds up the work that's running on the +accelerator and a memory allocation is usually required to resolve the fault. +But memory allocations are not allowed to gate completion of DMA fences, which +means any workload using recoverable page faults cannot use DMA fences for +synchronization. Synchronization fences controlled by userspace must be used +instead. + +On GPUs this poses a problem, because current desktop compositor protocols on +Linux rely on DMA fences, which means without an entirely new userspace stack +built on top of userspace fences, they cannot benefit from recoverable page +faults. Specifically this means implicit synchronization will not be possible. +The exception is when page faults are only used as migration hints and never to +on-demand fill a memory request. For now this means recoverable page +faults on GPUs are limited to pure compute workloads. + +Furthermore GPUs usually have shared resources between the 3D rendering and +compute side, like compute units or command submission engines. If both a 3D +job with a DMA fence and a compute workload using recoverable page faults are +pending they could deadlock: + +- The 3D workload might need to wait for the compute job to finish and release + hardware resources first. + +- The compute workload might be stuck in a page fault, because the memory + allocation is waiting for the DMA fence of the 3D workload to complete. + +There are a few options to prevent this problem, one of which drivers need to +ensure: + +- Compute workloads can always be preempted, even when a page fault is pending + and not yet repaired. Not all hardware supports this. + +- DMA fence workloads and workloads which need page fault handling have + independent hardware resources to guarantee forward progress. This could be + achieved through e.g. through dedicated engines and minimal compute unit + reservations for DMA fence workloads. + +- The reservation approach could be further refined by only reserving the + hardware resources for DMA fence workloads when they are in-flight. This must + cover the time from when the DMA fence is visible to other threads up to + moment when fence is completed through dma_fence_signal(). + +- As a last resort, if the hardware provides no useful reservation mechanics, + all workloads must be flushed from the GPU when switching between jobs + requiring DMA fences or jobs requiring page fault handling: This means all DMA + fences must complete before a compute job with page fault handling can be + inserted into the scheduler queue. And vice versa, before a DMA fence can be + made visible anywhere in the system, all compute workloads must be preempted + to guarantee all pending GPU page faults are flushed. + +- Only a fairly theoretical option would be to untangle these dependencies when + allocating memory to repair hardware page faults, either through separate + memory blocks or runtime tracking of the full dependency graph of all DMA + fences. This results very wide impact on the kernel, since resolving the page + on the CPU side can itself involve a page fault. It is much more feasible and + robust to limit the impact of handling hardware page faults to the specific + driver. + +Note that workloads that run on independent hardware like copy engines or other +GPUs do not have any impact. This allows us to keep using DMA fences internally +in the kernel even for resolving hardware page faults, e.g. by using copy +engines to clear or copy memory needed to resolve the page fault. + +In some ways this page fault problem is a special case of the `Infinite DMA +Fences` discussions: Infinite fences from compute workloads are allowed to +depend on DMA fences, but not the other way around. And not even the page fault +problem is new, because some other CPU thread in userspace might +hit a page fault which holds up a userspace fence - supporting page faults on +GPUs doesn't anything fundamentally new. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/dmaengine/client.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/dmaengine/client.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..bfd057b21 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/dmaengine/client.rst @@ -0,0 +1,379 @@ +==================== +DMA Engine API Guide +==================== + +Vinod Koul <vinod dot koul at intel.com> + +.. note:: For DMA Engine usage in async_tx please see: + ``Documentation/crypto/async-tx-api.rst`` + + +Below is a guide to device driver writers on how to use the Slave-DMA API of the +DMA Engine.

It can also +test multiple channels at the same time, and it can start multiple threads +competing for the same channel. + +.. note:: + The test suite works only on the channels that have at least one + capability of the following: DMA_MEMCPY (memory-to-memory), DMA_MEMSET + (const-to-memory or memory-to-memory, when emulated), DMA_XOR, DMA_PQ. + +.. note:: + In case of any related questions use the official mailing list + dmaengine@vger.kernel.org. + +Part 1 - How to build the test module +===================================== + +The menuconfig contains an option that could be found by following path: + + Device Drivers -> DMA Engine support -> DMA Test client + +In the configuration file the option called CONFIG_DMATEST. The dmatest could +be built as module or inside kernel. Let's consider those cases. + +Part 2 - When dmatest is built as a module +========================================== + +Example of usage:: + + % modprobe dmatest timeout=2000 iterations=1 channel=dma0chan0 run=1 + +...or:: + + % modprobe dmatest + % echo 2000 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/timeout + % echo 1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/iterations + % echo dma0chan0 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel + % echo 1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run + +...or on the kernel command line:: + + dmatest.timeout=2000 dmatest.iterations=1 dmatest.channel=dma0chan0 dmatest.run=1 + +Example of multi-channel test usage (new in the 5.0 kernel):: + + % modprobe dmatest + % echo 2000 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/timeout + % echo 1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/iterations + % echo dma0chan0 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel + % echo dma0chan1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel + % echo dma0chan2 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel + % echo 1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run + +.. note:: + For all tests, starting in the 5.0 kernel, either single- or multi-channel, + the channel parameter(s) must be set after all other parameters. It is at + that time that the existing parameter values are acquired for use by the + thread(s). All other parameters are shared. Therefore, if changes are made + to any of the other parameters, and an additional channel specified, the + (shared) parameters used for all threads will use the new values. + After the channels are specified, each thread is set as pending. All threads + begin execution when the run parameter is set to 1. + +.. hint:: + A list of available channels can be found by running the following command:: + + % ls -1 /sys/class/dma/ + +Once started a message like " dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan0" is +emitted. A thread for that specific channel is created and is now pending, the +pending thread is started once run is to 1. + +Note that running a new test will not stop any in progress test. + +The following command returns the state of the test. :: + + % cat /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run + +To wait for test completion userpace can poll 'run' until it is false, or use +the wait parameter. Specifying 'wait=1' when loading the module causes module +initialization to pause until a test run has completed, while reading +/sys/module/dmatest/parameters/wait waits for any running test to complete +before returning. For example, the following scripts wait for 42 tests +to complete before exiting. Note that if 'iterations' is set to 'infinite' then +waiting is disabled. + +Example:: + + % modprobe dmatest run=1 iterations=42 wait=1 + % modprobe -r dmatest + +...or:: + + % modprobe dmatest run=1 iterations=42 + % cat /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/wait + % modprobe -r dmatest + +Part 3 - When built-in in the kernel +==================================== + +The module parameters that is supplied to the kernel command line will be used +for the first performed test. After user gets a control, the test could be +re-run with the same or different parameters. For the details see the above +section `Part 2 - When dmatest is built as a module`_. + +In both cases the module parameters are used as the actual values for the test +case. You always could check them at run-time by running :: + + % grep -H . /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/* + +Part 4 - Gathering the test results +=================================== + +Test results are printed to the kernel log buffer with the format:: + + "dmatest: result <channel>: <test id>: '<error msg>' with src_off=<val> dst_off=<val> len=<val> (<err code>)" + +Example of output:: + + % dmesg | tail -n 1 + dmatest: result dma0chan0-copy0: #1: No errors with src_off=0x7bf dst_off=0x8ad len=0x3fea (0) + +The message format is unified across the different types of errors. A +number in the parentheses represents additional information, e.g. error +code, error counter, or status. A test thread also emits a summary line at +completion listing the number of tests executed, number that failed, and a +result code. + +Example:: + + % dmesg | tail -n 1 + dmatest: dma0chan0-copy0: summary 1 test, 0 failures 1000 iops 100000 KB/s (0) + +The details of a data miscompare error are also emitted, but do not follow the +above format. + +Part 5 - Handling channel allocation +==================================== + +Allocating Channels +------------------- + +Channels do not need to be configured prior to starting a test run. Attempting +to run the test without configuring the channels will result in testing any +channels that are available. + +Example:: + + % echo 1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run + dmatest: No channels configured, continue with any + +Channels are registered using the "channel" parameter. Channels can be requested by their +name, once requested, the channel is registered and a pending thread is added to the test list. + +Example:: + + % echo dma0chan2 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel + dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan2 + +More channels can be added by repeating the example above. +Reading back the channel parameter will return the name of last channel that was added successfully. + +Example:: + + % echo dma0chan1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel + dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan1 + % echo dma0chan2 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel + dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan2 + % cat /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel + dma0chan2 + +Another method of requesting channels is to request a channel with an empty string, Doing so +will request all channels available to be tested: + +Example:: + + % echo "" > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel + dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan0 + dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan3 + dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan4 + dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan5 + dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan6 + dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan7 + dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan8 + +At any point during the test configuration, reading the "test_list" parameter will +print the list of currently pending tests. + +Example:: + + % cat /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/test_list + dmatest: 1 threads using dma0chan0 + dmatest: 1 threads using dma0chan3 + dmatest: 1 threads using dma0chan4 + dmatest: 1 threads using dma0chan5 + dmatest: 1 threads using dma0chan6 + dmatest: 1 threads using dma0chan7 + dmatest: 1 threads using dma0chan8 + +Note: Channels will have to be configured for each test run as channel configurations do not +carry across to the next test run. + +Releasing Channels +------------------- + +Channels can be freed by setting run to 0. + +Example:: + + % echo dma0chan1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel + dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan1 + % cat /sys/class/dma/dma0chan1/in_use + 1 + % echo 0 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run + % cat /sys/class/dma/dma0chan1/in_use + 0 + +Channels allocated by previous test runs are automatically freed when a new +channel is requested after completing a successful test run. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/dmaengine/index.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/dmaengine/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..bdc45d8b4 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/dmaengine/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,55 @@ +======================= +DMAEngine documentation +======================= + +DMAEngine documentation provides documents for various aspects of DMAEngine +framework. + +DMAEngine development documentation +----------------------------------- + +This book helps with DMAengine internal APIs and guide for DMAEngine device +driver writers. + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 1 + + provider + +DMAEngine client documentation +------------------------------ + +This book is a guide to device driver writers on how to use the Slave-DMA +API of the DMAEngine.

Channels can be used +to serve several to any requests. To simplify, channels are the +entities that will be doing the copy, and requests what endpoints are +involved. + +The request lines actually correspond to physical lines going from the +DMA-eligible devices to the controller itself. Whenever the device +will want to start a transfer, it will assert a DMA request (DRQ) by +asserting that request line. + +A very simple DMA controller would only take into account a single +parameter: the transfer size. At each clock cycle, it would transfer a +byte of data from one buffer to another, until the transfer size has +been reached. + +That wouldn't work well in the real world, since slave devices might +require a specific number of bits to be transferred in a single +cycle. For example, we may want to transfer as much data as the +physical bus allows to maximize performances when doing a simple +memory copy operation, but our audio device could have a narrower FIFO +that requires data to be written exactly 16 or 24 bits at a time. This +is why most if not all of the DMA controllers can adjust this, using a +parameter called the transfer width. + +Moreover, some DMA controllers, whenever the RAM is used as a source +or destination, can group the reads or writes in memory into a buffer, +so instead of having a lot of small memory accesses, which is not +really efficient, you'll get several bigger transfers. This is done +using a parameter called the burst size, that defines how many single +reads/writes it's allowed to do without the controller splitting the +transfer into smaller sub-transfers. + +Our theoretical DMA controller would then only be able to do transfers +that involve a single contiguous block of data. However, some of the +transfers we usually have are not, and want to copy data from +non-contiguous buffers to a contiguous buffer, which is called +scatter-gather. + +DMAEngine, at least for mem2dev transfers, require support for +scatter-gather. So we're left with two cases here: either we have a +quite simple DMA controller that doesn't support it, and we'll have to +implement it in software, or we have a more advanced DMA controller, +that implements in hardware scatter-gather. + +The latter are usually programmed using a collection of chunks to +transfer, and whenever the transfer is started, the controller will go +over that collection, doing whatever we programmed there. + +This collection is usually either a table or a linked list. You will +then push either the address of the table and its number of elements, +or the first item of the list to one channel of the DMA controller, +and whenever a DRQ will be asserted, it will go through the collection +to know where to fetch the data from. + +Either way, the format of this collection is completely dependent on +your hardware. Each DMA controller will require a different structure, +but all of them will require, for every chunk, at least the source and +destination addresses, whether it should increment these addresses or +not and the three parameters we saw earlier: the burst size, the +transfer width and the transfer size. + +The one last thing is that usually, slave devices won't issue DRQ by +default, and you have to enable this in your slave device driver first +whenever you're willing to use DMA. + +These were just the general memory-to-memory (also called mem2mem) or +memory-to-device (mem2dev) kind of transfers. Most devices often +support other kind of transfers or memory operations that dmaengine +support and will be detailed later in this document. + +DMA Support in Linux +==================== + +Historically, DMA controller drivers have been implemented using the +async TX API, to offload operations such as memory copy, XOR, +cryptography, etc., basically any memory to memory operation. + +Over time, the need for memory to device transfers arose, and +dmaengine was extended. Nowadays, the async TX API is written as a +layer on top of dmaengine, and acts as a client. Still, dmaengine +accommodates that API in some cases, and made some design choices to +ensure that it stayed compatible. + +For more information on the Async TX API, please look the relevant +documentation file in Documentation/crypto/async-tx-api.rst. + +DMAEngine APIs +============== + +``struct dma_device`` Initialization +------------------------------------ + +Just like any other kernel framework, the whole DMAEngine registration +relies on the driver filling a structure and registering against the +framework. In our case, that structure is dma_device. + +The first thing you need to do in your driver is to allocate this +structure. Any of the usual memory allocators will do, but you'll also +need to initialize a few fields in there: + +- ``channels``: should be initialized as a list using the + INIT_LIST_HEAD macro for example + +- ``src_addr_widths``: + should contain a bitmask of the supported source transfer width + +- ``dst_addr_widths``: + should contain a bitmask of the supported destination transfer width + +- ``directions``: + should contain a bitmask of the supported slave directions + (i.e. excluding mem2mem transfers) + +- ``residue_granularity``: + granularity of the transfer residue reported to dma_set_residue. + This can be either: + + - Descriptor: + your device doesn't support any kind of residue + reporting. The framework will only know that a particular + transaction descriptor is done. + + - Segment: + your device is able to report which chunks have been transferred + + - Burst: + your device is able to report which burst have been transferred + +- ``dev``: should hold the pointer to the ``struct device`` associated + to your current driver instance. + +Supported transaction types +--------------------------- + +The next thing you need is to set which transaction types your device +(and driver) supports. + +Our ``dma_device structure`` has a field called cap_mask that holds the +various types of transaction supported, and you need to modify this +mask using the dma_cap_set function, with various flags depending on +transaction types you support as an argument. + +All those capabilities are defined in the ``dma_transaction_type enum``, +in ``include/linux/dmaengine.h`` + +Currently, the types available are: + +- DMA_MEMCPY + + - The device is able to do memory to memory copies + + - No matter what the overall size of the combined chunks for source and + destination is, only as many bytes as the smallest of the two will be + transmitted. That means the number and size of the scatter-gather buffers in + both lists need not be the same, and that the operation functionally is + equivalent to a ``strncpy`` where the ``count`` argument equals the smallest + total size of the two scatter-gather list buffers. + + - It's usually used for copying pixel data between host memory and + memory-mapped GPU device memory, such as found on modern PCI video graphics + cards. The most immediate example is the OpenGL API function + ``glReadPielx()``, which might require a verbatim copy of a huge framebuffer + from local device memory onto host memory. + +- DMA_XOR + + - The device is able to perform XOR operations on memory areas + + - Used to accelerate XOR intensive tasks, such as RAID5 + +- DMA_XOR_VAL + + - The device is able to perform parity check using the XOR + algorithm against a memory buffer. + +- DMA_PQ + + - The device is able to perform RAID6 P+Q computations, P being a + simple XOR, and Q being a Reed-Solomon algorithm. + +- DMA_PQ_VAL + + - The device is able to perform parity check using RAID6 P+Q + algorithm against a memory buffer. + +- DMA_MEMSET + + - The device is able to fill memory with the provided pattern + + - The pattern is treated as a single byte signed value. + +- DMA_INTERRUPT + + - The device is able to trigger a dummy transfer that will + generate periodic interrupts + + - Used by the client drivers to register a callback that will be + called on a regular basis through the DMA controller interrupt + +- DMA_PRIVATE + + - The devices only supports slave transfers, and as such isn't + available for async transfers. + +- DMA_ASYNC_TX + + - Must not be set by the device, and will be set by the framework + if needed + + - TODO: What is it about? + +- DMA_SLAVE + + - The device can handle device to memory transfers, including + scatter-gather transfers. + + - While in the mem2mem case we were having two distinct types to + deal with a single chunk to copy or a collection of them, here, + we just have a single transaction type that is supposed to + handle both. + + - If you want to transfer a single contiguous memory buffer, + simply build a scatter list with only one item. + +- DMA_CYCLIC + + - The device can handle cyclic transfers. + + - A cyclic transfer is a transfer where the chunk collection will + loop over itself, with the last item pointing to the first. + + - It's usually used for audio transfers, where you want to operate + on a single ring buffer that you will fill with your audio data. + +- DMA_INTERLEAVE + + - The device supports interleaved transfer. + + - These transfers can transfer data from a non-contiguous buffer + to a non-contiguous buffer, opposed to DMA_SLAVE that can + transfer data from a non-contiguous data set to a continuous + destination buffer. + + - It's usually used for 2d content transfers, in which case you + want to transfer a portion of uncompressed data directly to the + display to print it + +- DMA_COMPLETION_NO_ORDER + + - The device does not support in order completion. + + - The driver should return DMA_OUT_OF_ORDER for device_tx_status if + the device is setting this capability. + + - All cookie tracking and checking API should be treated as invalid if + the device exports this capability. + + - At this point, this is incompatible with polling option for dmatest. + + - If this cap is set, the user is recommended to provide an unique + identifier for each descriptor sent to the DMA device in order to + properly track the completion. + +- DMA_REPEAT + + - The device supports repeated transfers. A repeated transfer, indicated by + the DMA_PREP_REPEAT transfer flag, is similar to a cyclic transfer in that + it gets automatically repeated when it ends, but can additionally be + replaced by the client. + + - This feature is limited to interleaved transfers, this flag should thus not + be set if the DMA_INTERLEAVE flag isn't set. This limitation is based on + the current needs of DMA clients, support for additional transfer types + should be added in the future if and when the need arises. + +- DMA_LOAD_EOT + + - The device supports replacing repeated transfers at end of transfer (EOT) + by queuing a new transfer with the DMA_PREP_LOAD_EOT flag set. + + - Support for replacing a currently running transfer at another point (such + as end of burst instead of end of transfer) will be added in the future + based on DMA clients needs, if and when the need arises. + +These various types will also affect how the source and destination +addresses change over time. + +Addresses pointing to RAM are typically incremented (or decremented) +after each transfer. In case of a ring buffer, they may loop +(DMA_CYCLIC). Addresses pointing to a device's register (e.g. a FIFO) +are typically fixed. + +Per descriptor metadata support +------------------------------- +Some data movement architecture (DMA controller and peripherals) uses metadata +associated with a transaction. The DMA controller role is to transfer the +payload and the metadata alongside. +The metadata itself is not used by the DMA engine itself, but it contains +parameters, keys, vectors, etc for peripheral or from the peripheral. + +The DMAengine framework provides a generic ways to facilitate the metadata for +descriptors. Depending on the architecture the DMA driver can implement either +or both of the methods and it is up to the client driver to choose which one +to use. + +- DESC_METADATA_CLIENT + + The metadata buffer is allocated/provided by the client driver and it is + attached (via the dmaengine_desc_attach_metadata() helper to the descriptor. + + From the DMA driver the following is expected for this mode: + + - DMA_MEM_TO_DEV / DEV_MEM_TO_MEM + + The data from the provided metadata buffer should be prepared for the DMA + controller to be sent alongside of the payload data. Either by copying to a + hardware descriptor, or highly coupled packet. + + - DMA_DEV_TO_MEM + + On transfer completion the DMA driver must copy the metadata to the client + provided metadata buffer before notifying the client about the completion. + After the transfer completion, DMA drivers must not touch the metadata + buffer provided by the client. + +- DESC_METADATA_ENGINE + + The metadata buffer is allocated/managed by the DMA driver. The client driver + can ask for the pointer, maximum size and the currently used size of the + metadata and can directly update or read it. dmaengine_desc_get_metadata_ptr() + and dmaengine_desc_set_metadata_len() is provided as helper functions. + + From the DMA driver the following is expected for this mode: + + - get_metadata_ptr() + + Should return a pointer for the metadata buffer, the maximum size of the + metadata buffer and the currently used / valid (if any) bytes in the buffer. + + - set_metadata_len() + + It is called by the clients after it have placed the metadata to the buffer + to let the DMA driver know the number of valid bytes provided. + + Note: since the client will ask for the metadata pointer in the completion + callback (in DMA_DEV_TO_MEM case) the DMA driver must ensure that the + descriptor is not freed up prior the callback is called. + +Device operations +----------------- + +Our dma_device structure also requires a few function pointers in +order to implement the actual logic, now that we described what +operations we were able to perform. + +The functions that we have to fill in there, and hence have to +implement, obviously depend on the transaction types you reported as +supported. + +- ``device_alloc_chan_resources`` + +- ``device_free_chan_resources`` + + - These functions will be called whenever a driver will call + ``dma_request_channel`` or ``dma_release_channel`` for the first/last + time on the channel associated to that driver. + + - They are in charge of allocating/freeing all the needed + resources in order for that channel to be useful for your driver. + + - These functions can sleep. + +- ``device_prep_dma_*`` + + - These functions are matching the capabilities you registered + previously. + + - These functions all take the buffer or the scatterlist relevant + for the transfer being prepared, and should create a hardware + descriptor or a list of hardware descriptors from it + + - These functions can be called from an interrupt context + + - Any allocation you might do should be using the GFP_NOWAIT + flag, in order not to potentially sleep, but without depleting + the emergency pool either. + + - Drivers should try to pre-allocate any memory they might need + during the transfer setup at probe time to avoid putting to + much pressure on the nowait allocator. + + - It should return a unique instance of the + ``dma_async_tx_descriptor structure``, that further represents this + particular transfer. + + - This structure can be initialized using the function + ``dma_async_tx_descriptor_init``. + + - You'll also need to set two fields in this structure: + + - flags: + TODO: Can it be modified by the driver itself, or + should it be always the flags passed in the arguments + + - tx_submit: A pointer to a function you have to implement, + that is supposed to push the current transaction descriptor to a + pending queue, waiting for issue_pending to be called. + + - In this structure the function pointer callback_result can be + initialized in order for the submitter to be notified that a + transaction has completed. In the earlier code the function pointer + callback has been used. However it does not provide any status to the + transaction and will be deprecated. The result structure defined as + ``dmaengine_result`` that is passed in to callback_result + has two fields: + + - result: This provides the transfer result defined by + ``dmaengine_tx_result``. Either success or some error condition. + + - residue: Provides the residue bytes of the transfer for those that + support residue. + +- ``device_issue_pending`` + + - Takes the first transaction descriptor in the pending queue, + and starts the transfer. Whenever that transfer is done, it + should move to the next transaction in the list. + + - This function can be called in an interrupt context + +- ``device_tx_status`` + + - Should report the bytes left to go over on the given channel + + - Should only care about the transaction descriptor passed as + argument, not the currently active one on a given channel + + - The tx_state argument might be NULL + + - Should use dma_set_residue to report it + + - In the case of a cyclic transfer, it should only take into + account the total size of the cyclic buffer. + + - Should return DMA_OUT_OF_ORDER if the device does not support in order + completion and is completing the operation out of order. + + - This function can be called in an interrupt context. + +- device_config + + - Reconfigures the channel with the configuration given as argument + + - This command should NOT perform synchronously, or on any + currently queued transfers, but only on subsequent ones + + - In this case, the function will receive a ``dma_slave_config`` + structure pointer as an argument, that will detail which + configuration to use. + + - Even though that structure contains a direction field, this + field is deprecated in favor of the direction argument given to + the prep_* functions + + - This call is mandatory for slave operations only. This should NOT be + set or expected to be set for memcpy operations. + If a driver support both, it should use this call for slave + operations only and not for memcpy ones. + +- device_pause + + - Pauses a transfer on the channel + + - This command should operate synchronously on the channel, + pausing right away the work of the given channel + +- device_resume + + - Resumes a transfer on the channel + + - This command should operate synchronously on the channel, + resuming right away the work of the given channel + +- device_terminate_all + + - Aborts all the pending and ongoing transfers on the channel + + - For aborted transfers the complete callback should not be called + + - Can be called from atomic context or from within a complete + callback of a descriptor.

State Container +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +While the kernel contains a few device drivers that assume that they will +only be probed() once on a certain system (singletons), it is custom to assume +that the device the driver binds to will appear in several instances. This +means that the probe() function and all callbacks need to be reentrant. + +The most common way to achieve this is to use the state container design +pattern.

This is our state container for this instance of the device driver. +Of course it is then necessary to always pass this instance of the +state around to all functions that need access to the state and its members. + +For example, if the driver is registering an interrupt handler, you would +pass around a pointer to struct foo like this:: + + static irqreturn_t foo_handler(int irq, void *arg) + { + struct foo *foo = arg; + (...) + } + + static int foo_probe(...) + { + struct foo *foo; + + (...) + ret = request_irq(irq, foo_handler, 0, "foo", foo); + } + +This way you always get a pointer back to the correct instance of foo in +your interrupt handler. + + +2. container_of() +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Continuing on the above example we add an offloaded work:: + + struct foo { + spinlock_t lock; + struct workqueue_struct *wq; + struct work_struct offload; + (...) + }; + + static void foo_work(struct work_struct *work) + { + struct foo *foo = container_of(work, struct foo, offload); + + (...) + } + + static irqreturn_t foo_handler(int irq, void *arg) + { + struct foo *foo = arg; + + queue_work(foo->wq, &foo->offload); + (...) + } + + static int foo_probe(...) + { + struct foo *foo; + + foo->wq = create_singlethread_workqueue("foo-wq"); + INIT_WORK(&foo->offload, foo_work); + (...) + } + +The design pattern is the same for an hrtimer or something similar that will +return a single argument which is a pointer to a struct member in the +callback. + +container_of() is a macro defined in <linux/kernel.h> + +What container_of() does is to obtain a pointer to the containing struct from +a pointer to a member by a simple subtraction using the offsetof() macro from +standard C, which allows something similar to object oriented behaviours. +Notice that the contained member must not be a pointer, but an actual member +for this to work. + +We can see here that we avoid having global pointers to our struct foo * +instance this way, while still keeping the number of parameters passed to the +work function to a single pointer. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/driver-model/device.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/driver-model/device.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..0833be568 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/driver-model/device.rst @@ -0,0 +1,120 @@ +========================== +The Basic Device Structure +========================== + +See the kerneldoc for the struct device. + + +Programming Interface +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The bus driver that discovers the device uses this to register the +device with the core:: + + int device_register(struct device * dev); + +The bus should initialize the following fields: + + - parent + - name + - bus_id + - bus + +A device is removed from the core when its reference count goes to +0.

Overhead : How much do we have to pay for this? + 6. List of managed interfaces: Currently implemented managed interfaces + + +1. Intro +-------- + +devres came up while trying to convert libata to use iomap. Each +iomapped address should be kept and unmapped on driver detach. For +example, a plain SFF ATA controller (that is, good old PCI IDE) in +native mode makes use of 5 PCI BARs and all of them should be +maintained. + +As with many other device drivers, libata low level drivers have +sufficient bugs in ->remove and ->probe failure path. Well, yes, +that's probably because libata low level driver developers are lazy +bunch, but aren't all low level driver developers? After spending a +day fiddling with braindamaged hardware with no document or +braindamaged document, if it's finally working, well, it's working. + +For one reason or another, low level drivers don't receive as much +attention or testing as core code, and bugs on driver detach or +initialization failure don't happen often enough to be noticeable. +Init failure path is worse because it's much less travelled while +needs to handle multiple entry points. + +So, many low level drivers end up leaking resources on driver detach +and having half broken failure path implementation in ->probe() which +would leak resources or even cause oops when failure occurs. iomap +adds more to this mix. So do msi and msix. + + +2. Devres +--------- + +devres is basically linked list of arbitrarily sized memory areas +associated with a struct device. Each devres entry is associated with +a release function. A devres can be released in several ways. No +matter what, all devres entries are released on driver detach. On +release, the associated release function is invoked and then the +devres entry is freed. + +Managed interface is created for resources commonly used by device +drivers using devres. For example, coherent DMA memory is acquired +using dma_alloc_coherent(). The managed version is called +dmam_alloc_coherent(). It is identical to dma_alloc_coherent() except +for the DMA memory allocated using it is managed and will be +automatically released on driver detach. Implementation looks like +the following:: + + struct dma_devres { + size_t size; + void *vaddr; + dma_addr_t dma_handle; + }; + + static void dmam_coherent_release(struct device *dev, void *res) + { + struct dma_devres *this = res; + + dma_free_coherent(dev, this->size, this->vaddr, this->dma_handle); + } + + dmam_alloc_coherent(dev, size, dma_handle, gfp) + { + struct dma_devres *dr; + void *vaddr; + + dr = devres_alloc(dmam_coherent_release, sizeof(*dr), gfp); + ... + + /* alloc DMA memory as usual */ + vaddr = dma_alloc_coherent(...); + ... + + /* record size, vaddr, dma_handle in dr */ + dr->vaddr = vaddr; + ... + + devres_add(dev, dr); + + return vaddr; + } + +If a driver uses dmam_alloc_coherent(), the area is guaranteed to be +freed whether initialization fails half-way or the device gets +detached. If most resources are acquired using managed interface, a +driver can have much simpler init and exit code. Init path basically +looks like the following:: + + my_init_one() + { + struct mydev *d; + + d = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*d), GFP_KERNEL); + if (!d) + return -ENOMEM; + + d->ring = dmam_alloc_coherent(...); + if (!d->ring) + return -ENOMEM; + + if (check something) + return -EINVAL; + ... + + return register_to_upper_layer(d); + } + +And exit path:: + + my_remove_one() + { + unregister_from_upper_layer(d); + shutdown_my_hardware(); + } + +As shown above, low level drivers can be simplified a lot by using +devres. Complexity is shifted from less maintained low level drivers +to better maintained higher layer. Also, as init failure path is +shared with exit path, both can get more testing. + +Note though that when converting current calls or assignments to +managed devm_* versions it is up to you to check if internal operations +like allocating memory, have failed. Managed resources pertains to the +freeing of these resources *only* - all other checks needed are still +on you. In some cases this may mean introducing checks that were not +necessary before moving to the managed devm_* calls. + + +3. Devres group +--------------- + +Devres entries can be grouped using devres group. When a group is +released, all contained normal devres entries and properly nested +groups are released. One usage is to rollback series of acquired +resources on failure. For example:: + + if (!devres_open_group(dev, NULL, GFP_KERNEL)) + return -ENOMEM; + + acquire A; + if (failed) + goto err; + + acquire B; + if (failed) + goto err; + ... + + devres_remove_group(dev, NULL); + return 0; + + err: + devres_release_group(dev, NULL); + return err_code; + +As resource acquisition failure usually means probe failure, constructs +like above are usually useful in midlayer driver (e.g. libata core +layer) where interface function shouldn't have side effect on failure. +For LLDs, just returning error code suffices in most cases. + +Each group is identified by `void *id`. It can either be explicitly +specified by @id argument to devres_open_group() or automatically +created by passing NULL as @id as in the above example. In both +cases, devres_open_group() returns the group's id. The returned id +can be passed to other devres functions to select the target group. +If NULL is given to those functions, the latest open group is +selected. + +For example, you can do something like the following:: + + int my_midlayer_create_something() + { + if (!devres_open_group(dev, my_midlayer_create_something, GFP_KERNEL)) + return -ENOMEM; + + ... + + devres_close_group(dev, my_midlayer_create_something); + return 0; + } + + void my_midlayer_destroy_something() + { + devres_release_group(dev, my_midlayer_create_something); + } + + +4. Details +---------- + +Lifetime of a devres entry begins on devres allocation and finishes +when it is released or destroyed (removed and freed) - no reference +counting. + +devres core guarantees atomicity to all basic devres operations and +has support for single-instance devres types (atomic +lookup-and-add-if-not-found). Other than that, synchronizing +concurrent accesses to allocated devres data is caller's +responsibility. This is usually non-issue because bus ops and +resource allocations already do the job. + +For an example of single-instance devres type, read pcim_iomap_table() +in lib/devres.c. + +All devres interface functions can be called without context if the +right gfp mask is given. + + +5. Overhead +----------- + +Each devres bookkeeping info is allocated together with requested data +area. With debug option turned off, bookkeeping info occupies 16 +bytes on 32bit machines and 24 bytes on 64bit (three pointers rounded +up to ull alignment). If singly linked list is used, it can be +reduced to two pointers (8 bytes on 32bit, 16 bytes on 64bit). + +Each devres group occupies 8 pointers. It can be reduced to 6 if +singly linked list is used. + +Memory space overhead on ahci controller with two ports is between 300 +and 400 bytes on 32bit machine after naive conversion (we can +certainly invest a bit more effort into libata core layer). + + +6.

+~~~~~~~~~~ + +Device drivers are statically allocated structures. Though there may +be multiple devices in a system that a driver supports, struct +device_driver represents the driver as a whole (not a particular +device instance). + +Initialization +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The driver must initialize at least the name and bus fields. It should +also initialize the devclass field (when it arrives), so it may obtain +the proper linkage internally. It should also initialize as many of +the callbacks as possible, though each is optional. + +Declaration +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +As stated above, struct device_driver objects are statically +allocated. Below is an example declaration of the eepro100 +driver. This declaration is hypothetical only; it relies on the driver +being converted completely to the new model:: + + static struct device_driver eepro100_driver = { + .name = "eepro100", + .bus = &pci_bus_type, + + .probe = eepro100_probe, + .remove = eepro100_remove, + .suspend = eepro100_suspend, + .resume = eepro100_resume, + }; + +Most drivers will not be able to be converted completely to the new +model because the bus they belong to has a bus-specific structure with +bus-specific fields that cannot be generalized. + +The most common example of this are device ID structures. A driver +typically defines an array of device IDs that it supports. The format +of these structures and the semantics for comparing device IDs are +completely bus-specific. Defining them as bus-specific entities would +sacrifice type-safety, so we keep bus-specific structures around. + +Bus-specific drivers should include a generic struct device_driver in +the definition of the bus-specific driver. Like this:: + + struct pci_driver { + const struct pci_device_id *id_table; + struct device_driver driver; + }; + +A definition that included bus-specific fields would look like +(using the eepro100 driver again):: + + static struct pci_driver eepro100_driver = { + .id_table = eepro100_pci_tbl, + .driver = { + .name = "eepro100", + .bus = &pci_bus_type, + .probe = eepro100_probe, + .remove = eepro100_remove, + .suspend = eepro100_suspend, + .resume = eepro100_resume, + }, + }; + +Some may find the syntax of embedded struct initialization awkward or +even a bit ugly. So far, it's the best way we've found to do what we want... + +Registration +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +:: + + int driver_register(struct device_driver *drv); + +The driver registers the structure on startup. For drivers that have +no bus-specific fields (i.e. don't have a bus-specific driver +structure), they would use driver_register and pass a pointer to their +struct device_driver object. + +Most drivers, however, will have a bus-specific structure and will +need to register with the bus using something like pci_driver_register. + +It is important that drivers register their driver structure as early as +possible. Registration with the core initializes several fields in the +struct device_driver object, including the reference count and the +lock. These fields are assumed to be valid at all times and may be +used by the device model core or the bus driver. + + +Transition Bus Drivers +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +By defining wrapper functions, the transition to the new model can be +made easier. Drivers can ignore the generic structure altogether and +let the bus wrapper fill in the fields. For the callbacks, the bus can +define generic callbacks that forward the call to the bus-specific +callbacks of the drivers. + +This solution is intended to be only temporary. In order to get class +information in the driver, the drivers must be modified anyway. Since +converting drivers to the new model should reduce some infrastructural +complexity and code size, it is recommended that they are converted as +class information is added. + +Access +~~~~~~ + +Once the object has been registered, it may access the common fields of +the object, like the lock and the list of devices:: + + int driver_for_each_dev(struct device_driver *drv, void *data, + int (*callback)(struct device *dev, void *data)); + +The devices field is a list of all the devices that have been bound to +the driver. The LDM core provides a helper function to operate on all +the devices a driver controls. This helper locks the driver on each +node access, and does proper reference counting on each device as it +accesses it. + + +sysfs +~~~~~ + +When a driver is registered, a sysfs directory is created in its +bus's directory. In this directory, the driver can export an interface +to userspace to control operation of the driver on a global basis; +e.g. toggling debugging output in the driver. + +A future feature of this directory will be a 'devices' directory. This +directory will contain symlinks to the directories of devices it +supports. + + + +Callbacks +~~~~~~~~~ + +:: + + int (*probe) (struct device *dev); + +The probe() entry is called in task context, with the bus's rwsem locked +and the driver partially bound to the device. Drivers commonly use +container_of() to convert "dev" to a bus-specific type, both in probe() +and other routines. That type often provides device resource data, such +as pci_dev.resource[] or platform_device.resources, which is used in +addition to dev->platform_data to initialize the driver. + +This callback holds the driver-specific logic to bind the driver to a +given device. That includes verifying that the device is present, that +it's a version the driver can handle, that driver data structures can +be allocated and initialized, and that any hardware can be initialized. +Drivers often store a pointer to their state with dev_set_drvdata(). +When the driver has successfully bound itself to that device, then probe() +returns zero and the driver model code will finish its part of binding +the driver to that device. + +A driver's probe() may return a negative errno value to indicate that +the driver did not bind to this device, in which case it should have +released all resources it allocated. + +Optionally, probe() may return -EPROBE_DEFER if the driver depends on +resources that are not yet available (e.g., supplied by a driver that +hasn't initialized yet). The driver core will put the device onto the +deferred probe list and will try to call it again later. If a driver +must defer, it should return -EPROBE_DEFER as early as possible to +reduce the amount of time spent on setup work that will need to be +unwound and reexecuted at a later time. + +.. warning:: + -EPROBE_DEFER must not be returned if probe() has already created + child devices, even if those child devices are removed again + in a cleanup path. If -EPROBE_DEFER is returned after a child + device has been registered, it may result in an infinite loop of + .probe() calls to the same driver. + +:: + + void (*sync_state) (struct device *dev); + +sync_state is called only once for a device. It's called when all the consumer +devices of the device have successfully probed. The list of consumers of the +device is obtained by looking at the device links connecting that device to its +consumer devices. + +The first attempt to call sync_state() is made during late_initcall_sync() to +give firmware and drivers time to link devices to each other. During the first +attempt at calling sync_state(), if all the consumers of the device at that +point in time have already probed successfully, sync_state() is called right +away. If there are no consumers of the device during the first attempt, that +too is considered as "all consumers of the device have probed" and sync_state() +is called right away. + +If during the first attempt at calling sync_state() for a device, there are +still consumers that haven't probed successfully, the sync_state() call is +postponed and reattempted in the future only when one or more consumers of the +device probe successfully. If during the reattempt, the driver core finds that +there are one or more consumers of the device that haven't probed yet, then +sync_state() call is postponed again. + +A typical use case for sync_state() is to have the kernel cleanly take over +management of devices from the bootloader. For example, if a device is left on +and at a particular hardware configuration by the bootloader, the device's +driver might need to keep the device in the boot configuration until all the +consumers of the device have probed. Once all the consumers of the device have +probed, the device's driver can synchronize the hardware state of the device to +match the aggregated software state requested by all the consumers. Hence the +name sync_state(). + +While obvious examples of resources that can benefit from sync_state() include +resources such as regulator, sync_state() can also be useful for complex +resources like IOMMUs. For example, IOMMUs with multiple consumers (devices +whose addresses are remapped by the IOMMU) might need to keep their mappings +fixed at (or additive to) the boot configuration until all its consumers have +probed. + +While the typical use case for sync_state() is to have the kernel cleanly take +over management of devices from the bootloader, the usage of sync_state() is +not restricted to that. Use it whenever it makes sense to take an action after +all the consumers of a device have probed:: + + int (*remove) (struct device *dev); + +remove is called to unbind a driver from a device. This may be +called if a device is physically removed from the system, if the +driver module is being unloaded, during a reboot sequence, or +in other cases. + +It is up to the driver to determine if the device is present or +not.

It is intended to augment the +bus-specific drivers for bridges and devices by consolidating a set of data +and operations into globally accessible data structures. + +Traditional driver models implemented some sort of tree-like structure +(sometimes just a list) for the devices they control. There wasn't any +uniformity across the different bus types. + +The current driver model provides a common, uniform data model for describing +a bus and the devices that can appear under the bus. The unified bus +model includes a set of common attributes which all busses carry, and a set +of common callbacks, such as device discovery during bus probing, bus +shutdown, bus power management, etc. + +The common device and bridge interface reflects the goals of the modern +computer: namely the ability to do seamless device "plug and play", power +management, and hot plug. In particular, the model dictated by Intel and +Microsoft (namely ACPI) ensures that almost every device on almost any bus +on an x86-compatible system can work within this paradigm. Of course, +not every bus is able to support all such operations, although most +buses support most of those operations. + + +Downstream Access +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Common data fields have been moved out of individual bus layers into a common +data structure. These fields must still be accessed by the bus layers, +and sometimes by the device-specific drivers. + +Other bus layers are encouraged to do what has been done for the PCI layer. +struct pci_dev now looks like this:: + + struct pci_dev { + ... + + struct device dev; /* Generic device interface */ + ... + }; + +Note first that the struct device dev within the struct pci_dev is +statically allocated. This means only one allocation on device discovery. + +Note also that that struct device dev is not necessarily defined at the +front of the pci_dev structure. This is to make people think about what +they're doing when switching between the bus driver and the global driver, +and to discourage meaningless and incorrect casts between the two. + +The PCI bus layer freely accesses the fields of struct device. It knows about +the structure of struct pci_dev, and it should know the structure of struct +device. Individual PCI device drivers that have been converted to the current +driver model generally do not and should not touch the fields of struct device, +unless there is a compelling reason to do so. + +The above abstraction prevents unnecessary pain during transitional phases. +If it were not done this way, then when a field was renamed or removed, every +downstream driver would break. On the other hand, if only the bus layer +(and not the device layer) accesses the struct device, it is only the bus +layer that needs to change. + + +User Interface +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +By virtue of having a complete hierarchical view of all the devices in the +system, exporting a complete hierarchical view to userspace becomes relatively +easy. This has been accomplished by implementing a special purpose virtual +file system named sysfs. + +Almost all mainstream Linux distros mount this filesystem automatically; you +can see some variation of the following in the output of the "mount" command:: + + $ mount + ... + none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) + ... + $ + +The auto-mounting of sysfs is typically accomplished by an entry similar to +the following in the /etc/fstab file:: + + none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 + +or something similar in the /lib/init/fstab file on Debian-based systems:: + + none /sys sysfs nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 + +If sysfs is not automatically mounted, you can always do it manually with:: + + # mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys + +Whenever a device is inserted into the tree, a directory is created for it. +This directory may be populated at each layer of discovery - the global layer, +the bus layer, or the device layer. + +The global layer currently creates two files - 'name' and 'power'. The +former only reports the name of the device. The latter reports the +current power state of the device. It will also be used to set the current +power state. + +The bus layer may also create files for the devices it finds while probing the +bus. For example, the PCI layer currently creates 'irq' and 'resource' files +for each PCI device. + +A device-specific driver may also export files in its directory to expose +device-specific data or tunable interfaces. + +More information about the sysfs directory layout can be found in +the other documents in this directory and in the file +Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/driver-model/platform.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/driver-model/platform.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..1fe5c6c61 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/driver-model/platform.rst @@ -0,0 +1,246 @@ +============================ +Platform Devices and Drivers +============================ + +See <linux/platform_device.h> for the driver model interface to the +platform bus: platform_device, and platform_driver.

For example, a kernel +might be configured to work with an external network adapter that might not +be populated on all boards, or likewise to work with an integrated controller +that some boards might not hook up to any peripherals. + +In some cases, boot firmware will export tables describing the devices +that are populated on a given board. Without such tables, often the +only way for system setup code to set up the correct devices is to build +a kernel for a specific target board. Such board-specific kernels are +common with embedded and custom systems development. + +In many cases, the memory and IRQ resources associated with the platform +device are not enough to let the device's driver work. Board setup code +will often provide additional information using the device's platform_data +field to hold additional information. + +Embedded systems frequently need one or more clocks for platform devices, +which are normally kept off until they're actively needed (to save power). +System setup also associates those clocks with the device, so that +calls to clk_get(&pdev->dev, clock_name) return them as needed. + + +Legacy Drivers: Device Probing +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Some drivers are not fully converted to the driver model, because they take +on a non-driver role: the driver registers its platform device, rather than +leaving that for system infrastructure. Such drivers can't be hotplugged +or coldplugged, since those mechanisms require device creation to be in a +different system component than the driver. + +The only "good" reason for this is to handle older system designs which, like +original IBM PCs, rely on error-prone "probe-the-hardware" models for hardware +configuration. Newer systems have largely abandoned that model, in favor of +bus-level support for dynamic configuration (PCI, USB), or device tables +provided by the boot firmware (e.g. PNPACPI on x86). There are too many +conflicting options about what might be where, and even educated guesses by +an operating system will be wrong often enough to make trouble. + +This style of driver is discouraged. If you're updating such a driver, +please try to move the device enumeration to a more appropriate location, +outside the driver. This will usually be cleanup, since such drivers +tend to already have "normal" modes, such as ones using device nodes that +were created by PNP or by platform device setup. + +None the less, there are some APIs to support such legacy drivers. Avoid +using these calls except with such hotplug-deficient drivers:: + + struct platform_device *platform_device_alloc( + const char *name, int id); + +You can use platform_device_alloc() to dynamically allocate a device, which +you will then initialize with resources and platform_device_register(). +A better solution is usually:: + + struct platform_device *platform_device_register_simple( + const char *name, int id, + struct resource *res, unsigned int nres); + +You can use platform_device_register_simple() as a one-step call to allocate +and register a device. + + +Device Naming and Driver Binding +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The platform_device.dev.bus_id is the canonical name for the devices. +It's built from two components: + + * platform_device.name ... which is also used to for driver matching. + + * platform_device.id ... the device instance number, or else "-1" + to indicate there's only one. + +These are concatenated, so name/id "serial"/0 indicates bus_id "serial.0", and +"serial/3" indicates bus_id "serial.3"; both would use the platform_driver +named "serial". While "my_rtc"/-1 would be bus_id "my_rtc" (no instance id) +and use the platform_driver called "my_rtc". + +Driver binding is performed automatically by the driver core, invoking +driver probe() after finding a match between device and driver. If the +probe() succeeds, the driver and device are bound as usual. There are +three different ways to find such a match: + + - Whenever a device is registered, the drivers for that bus are + checked for matches. Platform devices should be registered very + early during system boot. + + - When a driver is registered using platform_driver_register(), all + unbound devices on that bus are checked for matches. Drivers + usually register later during booting, or by module loading. + + - Registering a driver using platform_driver_probe() works just like + using platform_driver_register(), except that the driver won't + be probed later if another device registers. (Which is OK, since + this interface is only for use with non-hotpluggable devices.) + + +Early Platform Devices and Drivers +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The early platform interfaces provide platform data to platform device +drivers early on during the system boot. The code is built on top of the +early_param() command line parsing and can be executed very early on. + +Example: "earlyprintk" class early serial console in 6 steps + +1. Registering early platform device data +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The architecture code registers platform device data using the function +early_platform_add_devices(). In the case of early serial console this +should be hardware configuration for the serial port. Devices registered +at this point will later on be matched against early platform drivers. + +2. Parsing kernel command line +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The architecture code calls parse_early_param() to parse the kernel +command line. This will execute all matching early_param() callbacks. +User specified early platform devices will be registered at this point. +For the early serial console case the user can specify port on the +kernel command line as "earlyprintk=serial.0" where "earlyprintk" is +the class string, "serial" is the name of the platform driver and +0 is the platform device id. If the id is -1 then the dot and the +id can be omitted. + +3. Installing early platform drivers belonging to a certain class +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The architecture code may optionally force registration of all early +platform drivers belonging to a certain class using the function +early_platform_driver_register_all(). User specified devices from +step 2 have priority over these. This step is omitted by the serial +driver example since the early serial driver code should be disabled +unless the user has specified port on the kernel command line. + +4. Early platform driver registration +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Compiled-in platform drivers making use of early_platform_init() are +automatically registered during step 2 or 3. The serial driver example +should use early_platform_init("earlyprintk", &platform_driver). + +5. Probing of early platform drivers belonging to a certain class +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The architecture code calls early_platform_driver_probe() to match +registered early platform devices associated with a certain class with +registered early platform drivers. Matched devices will get probed(). +This step can be executed at any point during the early boot. As soon +as possible may be good for the serial port case. + +6. Inside the early platform driver probe() +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The driver code needs to take special care during early boot, especially +when it comes to memory allocation and interrupt registration. The code +in the probe() function can use is_early_platform_device() to check if +it is called at early platform device or at the regular platform device +time. The early serial driver performs register_console() at this point. + +For further information, see <linux/platform_device.h>. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/driver-model/porting.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/driver-model/porting.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..931ea879a --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/driver-model/porting.rst @@ -0,0 +1,448 @@ +======================================= +Porting Drivers to the New Driver Model +======================================= + +Patrick Mochel + +7 January 2003 + + +Overview + +Please refer to `Documentation/driver-api/driver-model/*.rst` for definitions of +various driver types and concepts. + +Most of the work of porting devices drivers to the new model happens +at the bus driver layer.

The most important + things to initialize are the bus_id, parent, and bus fields. + + The bus_id is an ASCII string that contains the device's address on + the bus. The format of this string is bus-specific. This is + necessary for representing devices in sysfs. + + parent is the physical parent of the device. It is important that + the bus driver sets this field correctly. + + The driver model maintains an ordered list of devices that it uses + for power management. This list must be in order to guarantee that + devices are shutdown before their physical parents, and vice versa. + The order of this list is determined by the parent of registered + devices. + + Also, the location of the device's sysfs directory depends on a + device's parent. sysfs exports a directory structure that mirrors + the device hierarchy. Accurately setting the parent guarantees that + sysfs will accurately represent the hierarchy. + + The device's bus field is a pointer to the bus type the device + belongs to. This should be set to the bus_type that was declared + and initialized before. + + Optionally, the bus driver may set the device's name and release + fields. + + The name field is an ASCII string describing the device, like + + "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon QD" + + The release field is a callback that the driver model core calls + when the device has been removed, and all references to it have + been released.

Most of these operations are probably similar to +operations the bus already defines for drivers, but taking different +parameters. + +It would be difficult and tedious to force every driver on a bus to +simultaneously convert their drivers to generic format. Instead, the +bus driver should define single instances of the generic methods that +forward call to the bus-specific drivers.

This allows the drivers to implement their own generic +methods. + + +Step 5: Support generic driver binding. + +The model assumes that a device or driver can be dynamically +registered with the bus at any time. When registration happens, +devices must be bound to a driver, or drivers must be bound to all +devices that it supports. + +A driver typically contains a list of device IDs that it supports. The +bus driver compares these IDs to the IDs of devices registered with it. +The format of the device IDs, and the semantics for comparing them are +bus-specific, so the generic model does attempt to generalize them. + +Instead, a bus may supply a method in struct bus_type that does the +comparison:: + + int (*match)(struct device * dev, struct device_driver * drv); + +match should return positive value if the driver supports the device, +and zero otherwise. It may also return error code (for example +-EPROBE_DEFER) if determining that given driver supports the device is +not possible. + +When a device is registered, the bus's list of drivers is iterated +over. bus->match() is called for each one until a match is found. + +When a driver is registered, the bus's list of devices is iterated +over. bus->match() is called for each device that is not already +claimed by a driver. + +When a device is successfully bound to a driver, device->driver is +set, the device is added to a per-driver list of devices, and a +symlink is created in the driver's sysfs directory that points to the +device's physical directory:: + + /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ + |-- 3c59x + | `-- 00:0b.0 -> ../../../../devices/pci0/00:0b.0 + |-- Ensoniq AudioPCI + |-- agpgart-amdk7 + | `-- 00:00.0 -> ../../../../devices/pci0/00:00.0 + |-- e100 + | `-- 00:0c.0 -> ../../../../devices/pci0/00:0c.0 + `-- serial + + +This driver binding should replace the existing driver binding +mechanism the bus currently uses. + + +Step 6: Supply a hotplug callback. + +Whenever a device is registered with the driver model core, the +userspace program /sbin/hotplug is called to notify userspace. +Users can define actions to perform when a device is inserted or +removed. + +The driver model core passes several arguments to userspace via +environment variables, including + +- ACTION: set to 'add' or 'remove' +- DEVPATH: set to the device's physical path in sysfs. + +A bus driver may also supply additional parameters for userspace to +consume. To do this, a bus must implement the 'hotplug' method in +struct bus_type:: + + int (*hotplug) (struct device *dev, char **envp, + int num_envp, char *buffer, int buffer_size); + +This is called immediately before /sbin/hotplug is executed. + + +Step 7: Cleaning up the bus driver. + +The generic bus, device, and driver structures provide several fields +that can replace those defined privately to the bus driver. + +- Device list. + +struct bus_type contains a list of all devices registered with the bus +type.

Only a single cpio file may be specified in +CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE and directory and file names are not allowed in +combination with a cpio archive. + +IMAGE BUILDING method +--------------------- + +The kernel build process can also build an early userspace image from +source parts rather than supplying a cpio archive. This method provides +a way to create images with root-owned files even though the image was +built by an unprivileged user. + +The image is specified as one or more sources in +CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE. Sources can be either directories or files - +cpio archives are *not* allowed when building from sources. + +A source directory will have it and all of its contents packaged. The +specified directory name will be mapped to '/'. When packaging a +directory, limited user and group ID translation can be performed. +INITRAMFS_ROOT_UID can be set to a user ID that needs to be mapped to +user root (0). INITRAMFS_ROOT_GID can be set to a group ID that needs +to be mapped to group root (0). + +A source file must be directives in the format required by the +usr/gen_init_cpio utility (run 'usr/gen_init_cpio -h' to get the +file format). The directives in the file will be passed directly to +usr/gen_init_cpio. + +When a combination of directories and files are specified then the +initramfs image will be an aggregate of all of them. In this way a user +can create a 'root-image' directory and install all files into it. +Because device-special files cannot be created by a unprivileged user, +special files can be listed in a 'root-files' file. Both 'root-image' +and 'root-files' can be listed in CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE and a complete +early userspace image can be built by an unprivileged user. + +As a technical note, when directories and files are specified, the +entire CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE is passed to +usr/gen_initramfs.sh. This means that CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE +can really be interpreted as any legal argument to +gen_initramfs.sh. If a directory is specified as an argument then +the contents are scanned, uid/gid translation is performed, and +usr/gen_init_cpio file directives are output. If a directory is +specified as an argument to usr/gen_initramfs.sh then the +contents of the file are simply copied to the output.

In the interest of +creating a common ground for discussion, terms and their definitions +will be established. + +* Memory devices + +The individual DRAM chips on a memory stick. These devices commonly +output 4 and 8 bits each (x4, x8). Grouping several of these in parallel +provides the number of bits that the memory controller expects: +typically 72 bits, in order to provide 64 bits + 8 bits of ECC data. + +* Memory Stick + +A printed circuit board that aggregates multiple memory devices in +parallel. In general, this is the Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) which +gets replaced, in the case of excessive errors. Most often it is also +called DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module). + +* Memory Socket + +A physical connector on the motherboard that accepts a single memory +stick. Also called as "slot" on several datasheets. + +* Channel + +A memory controller channel, responsible to communicate with a group of +DIMMs. Each channel has its own independent control (command) and data +bus, and can be used independently or grouped with other channels. + +* Branch + +It is typically the highest hierarchy on a Fully-Buffered DIMM memory +controller. Typically, it contains two channels. Two channels at the +same branch can be used in single mode or in lockstep mode. When +lockstep is enabled, the cacheline is doubled, but it generally brings +some performance penalty. Also, it is generally not possible to point to +just one memory stick when an error occurs, as the error correction code +is calculated using two DIMMs instead of one. Due to that, it is capable +of correcting more errors than on single mode. + +* Single-channel + +The data accessed by the memory controller is contained into one dimm +only. E. g. if the data is 64 bits-wide, the data flows to the CPU using +one 64 bits parallel access. Typically used with SDR, DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 +memories. FB-DIMM and RAMBUS use a different concept for channel, so +this concept doesn't apply there. + +* Double-channel + +The data size accessed by the memory controller is interlaced into two +dimms, accessed at the same time.

Common chip-select rows for single channel are 64 bits, for +dual channel 128 bits.

This +has been possible through sysfs, which defines a nice enough set of +abstractions to manage busses, devices and drivers. + +Although the new API is quite simple to use, converting existing +drivers to the new infrastructure is not an easy task (mostly because +detection code is generally also used to probe ISA cards).

Such information may + be installed on a separate flash partition other than where the root + filesystem is provided. + +Types of fallback mechanisms +============================ + +There are really two fallback mechanisms available using one shared sysfs +interface as a loading facility: + +* Kobject uevent fallback mechanism +* Custom fallback mechanism + +First lets document the shared sysfs loading facility. + +Firmware sysfs loading facility +=============================== + +In order to help device drivers upload firmware using a fallback mechanism +the firmware infrastructure creates a sysfs interface to enable userspace +to load and indicate when firmware is ready. The sysfs directory is created +via fw_create_instance(). This call creates a new struct device named after +the firmware requested, and establishes it in the device hierarchy by +associating the device used to make the request as the device's parent. +The sysfs directory's file attributes are defined and controlled through +the new device's class (firmware_class) and group (fw_dev_attr_groups). +This is actually where the original firmware_class module name came from, +given that originally the only firmware loading mechanism available was the +mechanism we now use as a fallback mechanism, which registers a struct class +firmware_class. Because the attributes exposed are part of the module name, the +module name firmware_class cannot be renamed in the future, to ensure backward +compatibility with old userspace. + +To load firmware using the sysfs interface we expose a loading indicator, +and a file upload firmware into: + + * /sys/$DEVPATH/loading + * /sys/$DEVPATH/data + +To upload firmware you will echo 1 onto the loading file to indicate +you are loading firmware. You then write the firmware into the data file, +and you notify the kernel the firmware is ready by echo'ing 0 onto +the loading file. + +The firmware device used to help load firmware using sysfs is only created if +direct firmware loading fails and if the fallback mechanism is enabled for your +firmware request, this is set up with :c:func:`firmware_fallback_sysfs`. It is +important to re-iterate that no device is created if a direct filesystem lookup +succeeded. + +Using:: + + echo 1 > /sys/$DEVPATH/loading + +Will clean any previous partial load at once and make the firmware API +return an error. When loading firmware the firmware_class grows a buffer +for the firmware in PAGE_SIZE increments to hold the image as it comes in. + +firmware_data_read() and firmware_loading_show() are just provided for the +test_firmware driver for testing, they are not called in normal use or +expected to be used regularly by userspace. + +firmware_fallback_sysfs +----------------------- +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/base/firmware_loader/fallback.c + :functions: firmware_fallback_sysfs + +Firmware kobject uevent fallback mechanism +========================================== + +Since a device is created for the sysfs interface to help load firmware as a +fallback mechanism userspace can be informed of the addition of the device by +relying on kobject uevents. The addition of the device into the device +hierarchy means the fallback mechanism for firmware loading has been initiated. +For details of implementation refer to fw_load_sysfs_fallback(), in particular +on the use of dev_set_uevent_suppress() and kobject_uevent(). + +The kernel's kobject uevent mechanism is implemented in lib/kobject_uevent.c, +it issues uevents to userspace. As a supplement to kobject uevents Linux +distributions could also enable CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH, which makes use of +core kernel's usermode helper (UMH) functionality to call out to a userspace +helper for kobject uevents. In practice though no standard distribution has +ever used the CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH. If CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH is +enabled this binary would be called each time kobject_uevent_env() gets called +in the kernel for each kobject uevent triggered. + +Different implementations have been supported in userspace to take advantage of +this fallback mechanism. When firmware loading was only possible using the +sysfs mechanism the userspace component "hotplug" provided the functionality of +monitoring for kobject events. Historically this was superseded be systemd's +udev, however firmware loading support was removed from udev as of systemd +commit be2ea723b1d0 ("udev: remove userspace firmware loading support") +as of v217 on August, 2014. This means most Linux distributions today are +not using or taking advantage of the firmware fallback mechanism provided +by kobject uevents. This is specially exacerbated due to the fact that most +distributions today disable CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK. + +Refer to do_firmware_uevent() for details of the kobject event variables +setup. The variables currently passed to userspace with a "kobject add" +event are: + +* FIRMWARE=firmware name +* TIMEOUT=timeout value +* ASYNC=whether or not the API request was asynchronous + +By default DEVPATH is set by the internal kernel kobject infrastructure. +Below is an example simple kobject uevent script:: + + # Both $DEVPATH and $FIRMWARE are already provided in the environment. + MY_FW_DIR=/lib/firmware/ + echo 1 > /sys/$DEVPATH/loading + cat $MY_FW_DIR/$FIRMWARE > /sys/$DEVPATH/data + echo 0 > /sys/$DEVPATH/loading + +Firmware custom fallback mechanism +================================== + +Users of the request_firmware_nowait() call have yet another option available +at their disposal: rely on the sysfs fallback mechanism but request that no +kobject uevents be issued to userspace. The original logic behind this +was that utilities other than udev might be required to lookup firmware +in non-traditional paths -- paths outside of the listing documented in the +section 'Direct filesystem lookup'. This option is not available to any of +the other API calls as uevents are always forced for them. + +Since uevents are only meaningful if the fallback mechanism is enabled +in your kernel it would seem odd to enable uevents with kernels that do not +have the fallback mechanism enabled in their kernels. Unfortunately we also +rely on the uevent flag which can be disabled by request_firmware_nowait() to +also setup the firmware cache for firmware requests. As documented above, +the firmware cache is only set up if uevent is enabled for an API call. +Although this can disable the firmware cache for request_firmware_nowait() +calls, users of this API should not use it for the purposes of disabling +the cache as that was not the original purpose of the flag. Not setting +the uevent flag means you want to opt-in for the firmware fallback mechanism +but you want to suppress kobject uevents, as you have a custom solution which +will monitor for your device addition into the device hierarchy somehow and +load firmware for you through a custom path. + +Firmware fallback timeout +========================= + +The firmware fallback mechanism has a timeout. If firmware is not loaded +onto the sysfs interface by the timeout value an error is sent to the +driver. By default the timeout is set to 60 seconds if uevents are +desirable, otherwise MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET is used (max timeout possible). +The logic behind using MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET for non-uevents is that a custom +solution will have as much time as it needs to load firmware. + +You can customize the firmware timeout by echo'ing your desired timeout into +the following file: + +* /sys/class/firmware/timeout + +If you echo 0 into it means MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET will be used. The data type +for the timeout is an int. + +EFI embedded firmware fallback mechanism +======================================== + +On some devices the system's EFI code / ROM may contain an embedded copy +of firmware for some of the system's integrated peripheral devices and +the peripheral's Linux device-driver needs to access this firmware. + +Device drivers which need such firmware can use the +firmware_request_platform() function for this, note that this is a +separate fallback mechanism from the other fallback mechanisms and +this does not use the sysfs interface. + +A device driver which needs this can describe the firmware it needs +using an efi_embedded_fw_desc struct: + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/efi_embedded_fw.h + :functions: efi_embedded_fw_desc + +The EFI embedded-fw code works by scanning all EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE memory +segments for an eight byte sequence matching prefix; if the prefix is found it +then does a sha256 over length bytes and if that matches makes a copy of length +bytes and adds that to its list with found firmwares. + +To avoid doing this somewhat expensive scan on all systems, dmi matching is +used. Drivers are expected to export a dmi_system_id array, with each entries' +driver_data pointing to an efi_embedded_fw_desc. + +To register this array with the efi-embedded-fw code, a driver needs to: + +1. Always be builtin to the kernel or store the dmi_system_id array in a + separate object file which always gets builtin. + +2. Add an extern declaration for the dmi_system_id array to + include/linux/efi_embedded_fw.h. + +3. Add the dmi_system_id array to the embedded_fw_table in + drivers/firmware/efi/embedded-firmware.c wrapped in a #ifdef testing that + the driver is being builtin. + +4. Add "select EFI_EMBEDDED_FIRMWARE if EFI_STUB" to its Kconfig entry. + +The firmware_request_platform() function will always first try to load firmware +with the specified name directly from the disk, so the EFI embedded-fw can +always be overridden by placing a file under /lib/firmware. + +Note that: + +1. The code scanning for EFI embedded-firmware runs near the end + of start_kernel(), just before calling rest_init(). For normal drivers and + subsystems using subsys_initcall() to register themselves this does not + matter. This means that code running earlier cannot use EFI + embedded-firmware. + +2. At the moment the EFI embedded-fw code assumes that firmwares always start at + an offset which is a multiple of 8 bytes, if this is not true for your case + send in a patch to fix this. + +3. At the moment the EFI embedded-fw code only works on x86 because other archs + free EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE before the EFI embedded-fw code gets a chance to + scan it. + +4. The current brute-force scanning of EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE is an ad-hoc + brute-force solution. There has been discussion to use the UEFI Platform + Initialization (PI) spec's Firmware Volume protocol. This has been rejected + because the FV Protocol relies on *internal* interfaces of the PI spec, and: + 1. The PI spec does not define peripheral firmware at all + 2. The internal interfaces of the PI spec do not guarantee any backward + compatibility. Any implementation details in FV may be subject to change, + and may vary system to system. Supporting the FV Protocol would be + difficult as it is purposely ambiguous. + +Example how to check for and extract embedded firmware +------------------------------------------------------ + +To check for, for example Silead touchscreen controller embedded firmware, +do the following: + +1. Boot the system with efi=debug on the kernel commandline + +2. cp /sys/kernel/debug/efi/boot_services_code? to your home dir + +3. Open the boot_services_code? files in a hex-editor, search for the + magic prefix for Silead firmware: F0 00 00 00 02 00 00 00, this gives you + the beginning address of the firmware inside the boot_services_code? file. + +4. The firmware has a specific pattern, it starts with a 8 byte page-address, + typically F0 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 for the first page followed by 32-bit + word-address + 32-bit value pairs. With the word-address incrementing 4 + bytes (1 word) for each pair until a page is complete. A complete page is + followed by a new page-address, followed by more word + value pairs. This + leads to a very distinct pattern. Scroll down until this pattern stops, + this gives you the end of the firmware inside the boot_services_code? file. + +5. "dd if=boot_services_code? of=firmware bs=1 skip=<begin-addr> count=<len>" + will extract the firmware for you. Inspect the firmware file in a + hexeditor to make sure you got the dd parameters correct. + +6. Copy it to /lib/firmware under the expected name to test it. + +7. If the extracted firmware works, you can use the found info to fill an + efi_embedded_fw_desc struct to describe it, run "sha256sum firmware" + to get the sha256sum to put in the sha256 field. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/firmware/firmware-usage-guidelines.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/firmware/firmware-usage-guidelines.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..fdcfce42c --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/firmware/firmware-usage-guidelines.rst @@ -0,0 +1,44 @@ +=================== +Firmware Guidelines +=================== + +Users switching to a newer kernel should *not* have to install newer +firmware files to keep their hardware working.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +========================= +Generic Counter Interface +========================= + +Introduction +============ + +Counter devices are prevalent among a diverse spectrum of industries. +The ubiquitous presence of these devices necessitates a common interface +and standard of interaction and exposure. This driver API attempts to +resolve the issue of duplicate code found among existing counter device +drivers by introducing a generic counter interface for consumption. The +Generic Counter interface enables drivers to support and expose a common +set of components and functionality present in counter devices. + +Theory +====== + +Counter devices can vary greatly in design, but regardless of whether +some devices are quadrature encoder counters or tally counters, all +counter devices consist of a core set of components. This core set of +components, shared by all counter devices, is what forms the essence of +the Generic Counter interface. + +There are three core components to a counter: + +* Signal: + Stream of data to be evaluated by the counter. + +* Synapse: + Association of a Signal, and evaluation trigger, with a Count. + +* Count: + Accumulation of the effects of connected Synapses. + +SIGNAL +------ +A Signal represents a stream of data. This is the input data that is +evaluated by the counter to determine the count data; e.g. a quadrature +signal output line of a rotary encoder. Not all counter devices provide +user access to the Signal data, so exposure is optional for drivers. + +When the Signal data is available for user access, the Generic Counter +interface provides the following available signal values: + +* SIGNAL_LOW: + Signal line is in a low state. + +* SIGNAL_HIGH: + Signal line is in a high state. + +A Signal may be associated with one or more Counts. + +SYNAPSE +------- +A Synapse represents the association of a Signal with a Count. Signal +data affects respective Count data, and the Synapse represents this +relationship. + +The Synapse action mode specifies the Signal data condition that +triggers the respective Count's count function evaluation to update the +count data. The Generic Counter interface provides the following +available action modes: + +* None: + Signal does not trigger the count function. In Pulse-Direction count + function mode, this Signal is evaluated as Direction. + +* Rising Edge: + Low state transitions to high state. + +* Falling Edge: + High state transitions to low state. + +* Both Edges: + Any state transition. + +A counter is defined as a set of input signals associated with count +data that are generated by the evaluation of the state of the associated +input signals as defined by the respective count functions. Within the +context of the Generic Counter interface, a counter consists of Counts +each associated with a set of Signals, whose respective Synapse +instances represent the count function update conditions for the +associated Counts. + +A Synapse associates one Signal with one Count. + +COUNT +----- +A Count represents the accumulation of the effects of connected +Synapses; i.e. the count data for a set of Signals. The Generic +Counter interface represents the count data as a natural number. + +A Count has a count function mode which represents the update behavior +for the count data. The Generic Counter interface provides the following +available count function modes: + +* Increase: + Accumulated count is incremented. + +* Decrease: + Accumulated count is decremented. + +* Pulse-Direction: + Rising edges on signal A updates the respective count. The input level + of signal B determines direction. + +* Quadrature: + A pair of quadrature encoding signals are evaluated to determine + position and direction. The following Quadrature modes are available: + + - x1 A: + If direction is forward, rising edges on quadrature pair signal A + updates the respective count; if the direction is backward, falling + edges on quadrature pair signal A updates the respective count. + Quadrature encoding determines the direction. + + - x1 B: + If direction is forward, rising edges on quadrature pair signal B + updates the respective count; if the direction is backward, falling + edges on quadrature pair signal B updates the respective count. + Quadrature encoding determines the direction. + + - x2 A: + Any state transition on quadrature pair signal A updates the + respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the direction. + + - x2 B: + Any state transition on quadrature pair signal B updates the + respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the direction. + + - x4: + Any state transition on either quadrature pair signals updates the + respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the direction. + +A Count has a set of one or more associated Synapses. + +Paradigm +======== + +The most basic counter device may be expressed as a single Count +associated with a single Signal via a single Synapse. Take for example +a counter device which simply accumulates a count of rising edges on a +source input line:: + + Count Synapse Signal + ----- ------- ------ + +---------------------+ + | Data: Count | Rising Edge ________ + | Function: Increase | <------------- / Source \ + | | ____________ + +---------------------+ + +In this example, the Signal is a source input line with a pulsing +voltage, while the Count is a persistent count value which is repeatedly +incremented. The Signal is associated with the respective Count via a +Synapse. The increase function is triggered by the Signal data condition +specified by the Synapse -- in this case a rising edge condition on the +voltage input line. In summary, the counter device existence and +behavior is aptly represented by respective Count, Signal, and Synapse +components: a rising edge condition triggers an increase function on an +accumulating count datum. + +A counter device is not limited to a single Signal; in fact, in theory +many Signals may be associated with even a single Count. For example, a +quadrature encoder counter device can keep track of position based on +the states of two input lines:: + + Count Synapse Signal + ----- ------- ------ + +-------------------------+ + | Data: Position | Both Edges ___ + | Function: Quadrature x4 | <------------ / A \ + | | _______ + | | + | | Both Edges ___ + | | <------------ / B \ + | | _______ + +-------------------------+ + +In this example, two Signals (quadrature encoder lines A and B) are +associated with a single Count: a rising or falling edge on either A or +B triggers the "Quadrature x4" function which determines the direction +of movement and updates the respective position data. The "Quadrature +x4" function is likely implemented in the hardware of the quadrature +encoder counter device; the Count, Signals, and Synapses simply +represent this hardware behavior and functionality. + +Signals associated with the same Count can have differing Synapse action +mode conditions. For example, a quadrature encoder counter device +operating in a non-quadrature Pulse-Direction mode could have one input +line dedicated for movement and a second input line dedicated for +direction:: + + Count Synapse Signal + ----- ------- ------ + +---------------------------+ + | Data: Position | Rising Edge ___ + | Function: Pulse-Direction | <------------- / A \ (Movement) + | | _______ + | | + | | None ___ + | | <------------- / B \ (Direction) + | | _______ + +---------------------------+ + +Only Signal A triggers the "Pulse-Direction" update function, but the +instantaneous state of Signal B is still required in order to know the +direction so that the position data may be properly updated. Ultimately, +both Signals are associated with the same Count via two respective +Synapses, but only one Synapse has an active action mode condition which +triggers the respective count function while the other is left with a +"None" condition action mode to indicate its respective Signal's +availability for state evaluation despite its non-triggering mode. + +Keep in mind that the Signal, Synapse, and Count are abstract +representations which do not need to be closely married to their +respective physical sources. This allows the user of a counter to +divorce themselves from the nuances of physical components (such as +whether an input line is differential or single-ended) and instead focus +on the core idea of what the data and process represent (e.g. position +as interpreted from quadrature encoding data). + +Driver API +========== + +Driver authors may utilize the Generic Counter interface in their code +by including the include/linux/counter.h header file. This header file +provides several core data structures, function prototypes, and macros +for defining a counter device. + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/counter.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/counter/counter-core.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/counter/counter-chrdev.c + :export: + +Driver Implementation +===================== + +To support a counter device, a driver must first allocate the available +Counter Signals via counter_signal structures. These Signals should +be stored as an array and set to the signals array member of an +allocated counter_device structure before the Counter is registered to +the system. + +Counter Counts may be allocated via counter_count structures, and +respective Counter Signal associations (Synapses) made via +counter_synapse structures. Associated counter_synapse structures are +stored as an array and set to the synapses array member of the +respective counter_count structure. These counter_count structures are +set to the counts array member of an allocated counter_device structure +before the Counter is registered to the system. + +Driver callbacks must be provided to the counter_device structure in +order to communicate with the device: to read and write various Signals +and Counts, and to set and get the "action mode" and "function mode" for +various Synapses and Counts respectively. + +A counter_device structure is allocated using counter_alloc() and then +registered to the system by passing it to the counter_add() function, and +unregistered by passing it to the counter_unregister function. There are +device managed variants of these functions: devm_counter_alloc() and +devm_counter_add(). + +The struct counter_comp structure is used to define counter extensions +for Signals, Synapses, and Counts. + +The "type" member specifies the type of high-level data (e.g. BOOL, +COUNT_DIRECTION, etc.) handled by this extension. The "``*_read``" and +"``*_write``" members can then be set by the counter device driver with +callbacks to handle that data using native C data types (i.e. u8, u64, +etc.). + +Convenience macros such as ``COUNTER_COMP_COUNT_U64`` are provided for +use by driver authors. In particular, driver authors are expected to use +the provided macros for standard Counter subsystem attributes in order +to maintain a consistent interface for userspace. For example, a counter +device driver may define several standard attributes like so:: + + struct counter_comp count_ext[] = { + COUNTER_COMP_DIRECTION(count_direction_read), + COUNTER_COMP_ENABLE(count_enable_read, count_enable_write), + COUNTER_COMP_CEILING(count_ceiling_read, count_ceiling_write), + }; + +This makes it simple to see, add, and modify the attributes that are +supported by this driver ("direction", "enable", and "ceiling") and to +maintain this code without getting lost in a web of struct braces. + +Callbacks must match the function type expected for the respective +component or extension. These function types are defined in the struct +counter_comp structure as the "``*_read``" and "``*_write``" union +members. + +The corresponding callback prototypes for the extensions mentioned in +the previous example above would be:: + + int count_direction_read(struct counter_device *counter, + struct counter_count *count, + enum counter_count_direction *direction); + int count_enable_read(struct counter_device *counter, + struct counter_count *count, u8 *enable); + int count_enable_write(struct counter_device *counter, + struct counter_count *count, u8 enable); + int count_ceiling_read(struct counter_device *counter, + struct counter_count *count, u64 *ceiling); + int count_ceiling_write(struct counter_device *counter, + struct counter_count *count, u64 ceiling); + +Determining the type of extension to create is a matter of scope. + +* Signal extensions are attributes that expose information/control + specific to a Signal. These types of attributes will exist under a + Signal's directory in sysfs. + + For example, if you have an invert feature for a Signal, you can have + a Signal extension called "invert" that toggles that feature: + /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/signalY/invert + +* Count extensions are attributes that expose information/control + specific to a Count. These type of attributes will exist under a + Count's directory in sysfs. + + For example, if you want to pause/unpause a Count from updating, you + can have a Count extension called "enable" that toggles such: + /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/enable + +* Device extensions are attributes that expose information/control + non-specific to a particular Count or Signal.

When this function is +called, the Counter data associated with the respective event is +gathered, and a ``struct counter_event`` is generated for each datum and +pushed to userspace. + +Counter events can be configured by users to report various Counter +data of interest. This can be conceptualized as a list of Counter +component read calls to perform. For example: + + +------------------------+------------------------+ + | COUNTER_EVENT_OVERFLOW | COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX | + +========================+========================+ + | Channel 0 | Channel 0 | + +------------------------+------------------------+ + | * Count 0 | * Signal 0 | + | * Count 1 | * Signal 0 Extension 0 | + | * Signal 3 | * Extension 4 | + | * Count 4 Extension 2 +------------------------+ + | * Signal 5 Extension 0 | Channel 1 | + | +------------------------+ + | | * Signal 4 | + | | * Signal 4 Extension 0 | + | | * Count 7 | + +------------------------+------------------------+ + +When ``counter_push_event(counter, COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX, 1)`` is called +for example, it will go down the list for the ``COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX`` +event channel 1 and execute the read callbacks for Signal 4, Signal 4 +Extension 0, and Count 7 -- the data returned for each is pushed to a +kfifo as a ``struct counter_event``, which userspace can retrieve via a +standard read operation on the respective character device node. + +Userspace +--------- +Userspace applications can configure Counter events via ioctl operations +on the Counter character device node. There following ioctl codes are +supported and provided by the ``linux/counter.h`` userspace header file: + +* :c:macro:`COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL` + +* :c:macro:`COUNTER_ENABLE_EVENTS_IOCTL` + +* :c:macro:`COUNTER_DISABLE_EVENTS_IOCTL` + +To configure events to gather Counter data, users first populate a +``struct counter_watch`` with the relevant event id, event channel id, +and the information for the desired Counter component from which to +read, and then pass it via the ``COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL`` ioctl +command. + +Note that an event can be watched without gathering Counter data by +setting the ``component.type`` member equal to +``COUNTER_COMPONENT_NONE``. With this configuration the Counter +character device will simply populate the event timestamps for those +respective ``struct counter_event`` elements and ignore the component +value. + +The ``COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL`` command will buffer these Counter +watches. When ready, the ``COUNTER_ENABLE_EVENTS_IOCTL`` ioctl command +may be used to activate these Counter watches. + +Userspace applications can then execute a ``read`` operation (optionally +calling ``poll`` first) on the Counter character device node to retrieve +``struct counter_event`` elements with the desired data. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/gpio/board.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/gpio/board.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..b33aa04f2 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/gpio/board.rst @@ -0,0 +1,222 @@ +============= +GPIO Mappings +============= + +This document explains how GPIOs can be assigned to given devices and functions. + +Note that it only applies to the new descriptor-based interface. For a +description of the deprecated integer-based GPIO interface please refer to +legacy.rst (actually, there is no real mapping possible with the old +interface; you just fetch an integer from somewhere and request the +corresponding GPIO). + +All platforms can enable the GPIO library, but if the platform strictly +requires GPIO functionality to be present, it needs to select GPIOLIB from its +Kconfig. Then, how GPIOs are mapped depends on what the platform uses to +describe its hardware layout. Currently, mappings can be defined through device +tree, ACPI, and platform data. + +Device Tree +----------- +GPIOs can easily be mapped to devices and functions in the device tree. The +exact way to do it depends on the GPIO controller providing the GPIOs, see the +device tree bindings for your controller. + +GPIOs mappings are defined in the consumer device's node, in a property named +<function>-gpios, where <function> is the function the driver will request +through gpiod_get(). For example:: + + foo_device { + compatible = "acme,foo"; + ... + led-gpios = <&gpio 15 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, /* red */ + <&gpio 16 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, /* green */ + <&gpio 17 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* blue */ + + power-gpios = <&gpio 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; + }; + +Properties named <function>-gpio are also considered valid and old bindings use +it but are only supported for compatibility reasons and should not be used for +newer bindings since it has been deprecated. + +This property will make GPIOs 15, 16 and 17 available to the driver under the +"led" function, and GPIO 1 as the "power" GPIO:: + + struct gpio_desc *red, *green, *blue, *power; + + red = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 0, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH); + green = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 1, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH); + blue = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 2, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH); + + power = gpiod_get(dev, "power", GPIOD_OUT_HIGH); + +The led GPIOs will be active high, while the power GPIO will be active low (i.e. +gpiod_is_active_low(power) will be true). + +The second parameter of the gpiod_get() functions, the con_id string, has to be +the <function>-prefix of the GPIO suffixes ("gpios" or "gpio", automatically +looked up by the gpiod functions internally) used in the device tree. With above +"led-gpios" example, use the prefix without the "-" as con_id parameter: "led". + +Internally, the GPIO subsystem prefixes the GPIO suffix ("gpios" or "gpio") +with the string passed in con_id to get the resulting string +(``snprintf(... "%s-%s", con_id, gpio_suffixes[]``). + +ACPI +---- +ACPI also supports function names for GPIOs in a similar fashion to DT. +The above DT example can be converted to an equivalent ACPI description +with the help of _DSD (Device Specific Data), introduced in ACPI 5.1:: + + Device (FOO) { + Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () { + GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly, + "\\_SB.GPI0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 15 } // red + GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly, + "\\_SB.GPI0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 16 } // green + GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly, + "\\_SB.GPI0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 17 } // blue + GpioIo (Exclusive, PullNone, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly, + "\\_SB.GPI0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 1 } // power + }) + + Name (_DSD, Package () { + ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), + Package () { + Package () { + "led-gpios", + Package () { + ^FOO, 0, 0, 1, + ^FOO, 1, 0, 1, + ^FOO, 2, 0, 1, + } + }, + Package () { "power-gpios", Package () { ^FOO, 3, 0, 0 } }, + } + }) + } + +For more information about the ACPI GPIO bindings see +Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/gpio-properties.rst. + +Platform Data +------------- +Finally, GPIOs can be bound to devices and functions using platform data. Board +files that desire to do so need to include the following header:: + + #include <linux/gpio/machine.h> + +GPIOs are mapped by the means of tables of lookups, containing instances of the +gpiod_lookup structure. Two macros are defined to help declaring such mappings:: + + GPIO_LOOKUP(key, chip_hwnum, con_id, flags) + GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX(key, chip_hwnum, con_id, idx, flags) + +where + + - key is either the label of the gpiod_chip instance providing the GPIO, or + the GPIO line name + - chip_hwnum is the hardware number of the GPIO within the chip, or U16_MAX + to indicate that key is a GPIO line name + - con_id is the name of the GPIO function from the device point of view. It + can be NULL, in which case it will match any function. + - idx is the index of the GPIO within the function. + - flags is defined to specify the following properties: + * GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH - GPIO line is active high + * GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW - GPIO line is active low + * GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN - GPIO line is set up as open drain + * GPIO_OPEN_SOURCE - GPIO line is set up as open source + * GPIO_PERSISTENT - GPIO line is persistent during + suspend/resume and maintains its value + * GPIO_TRANSITORY - GPIO line is transitory and may loose its + electrical state during suspend/resume + +In the future, these flags might be extended to support more properties. + +Note that: + 1. GPIO line names are not guaranteed to be globally unique, so the first + match found will be used. + 2. GPIO_LOOKUP() is just a shortcut to GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX() where idx = 0. + +A lookup table can then be defined as follows, with an empty entry defining its +end. The 'dev_id' field of the table is the identifier of the device that will +make use of these GPIOs. It can be NULL, in which case it will be matched for +calls to gpiod_get() with a NULL device. + +.. code-block:: c + + struct gpiod_lookup_table gpios_table = { + .dev_id = "foo.0", + .table = { + GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio.0", 15, "led", 0, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH), + GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio.0", 16, "led", 1, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH), + GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio.0", 17, "led", 2, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH), + GPIO_LOOKUP("gpio.0", 1, "power", GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW), + { }, + }, + }; + +And the table can be added by the board code as follows:: + + gpiod_add_lookup_table(&gpios_table); + +The driver controlling "foo.0" will then be able to obtain its GPIOs as follows:: + + struct gpio_desc *red, *green, *blue, *power; + + red = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 0, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH); + green = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 1, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH); + blue = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 2, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH); + + power = gpiod_get(dev, "power", GPIOD_OUT_HIGH); + +Since the "led" GPIOs are mapped as active-high, this example will switch their +signals to 1, i.e. enabling the LEDs. And for the "power" GPIO, which is mapped +as active-low, its actual signal will be 0 after this code. Contrary to the +legacy integer GPIO interface, the active-low property is handled during +mapping and is thus transparent to GPIO consumers. + +A set of functions such as gpiod_set_value() is available to work with +the new descriptor-oriented interface. + +Boards using platform data can also hog GPIO lines by defining GPIO hog tables. + +.. code-block:: c + + struct gpiod_hog gpio_hog_table[] = { + GPIO_HOG("gpio.0", 10, "foo", GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH), + { } + }; + +And the table can be added to the board code as follows:: + + gpiod_add_hogs(gpio_hog_table); + +The line will be hogged as soon as the gpiochip is created or - in case the +chip was created earlier - when the hog table is registered. + +Arrays of pins +-------------- +In addition to requesting pins belonging to a function one by one, a device may +also request an array of pins assigned to the function. The way those pins are +mapped to the device determines if the array qualifies for fast bitmap +processing. If yes, a bitmap is passed over get/set array functions directly +between a caller and a respective .get/set_multiple() callback of a GPIO chip. + +In order to qualify for fast bitmap processing, the array must meet the +following requirements: + +- pin hardware number of array member 0 must also be 0, +- pin hardware numbers of consecutive array members which belong to the same + chip as member 0 does must also match their array indexes. + +Otherwise fast bitmap processing path is not used in order to avoid consecutive +pins which belong to the same chip but are not in hardware order being processed +separately. + +If the array applies for fast bitmap processing path, pins which belong to +different chips than member 0 does, as well as those with indexes different from +their hardware pin numbers, are excluded from the fast path, both input and +output. Moreover, open drain and open source pins are excluded from fast bitmap +output processing. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/gpio/bt8xxgpio.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/gpio/bt8xxgpio.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..d7e75f123 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/gpio/bt8xxgpio.rst @@ -0,0 +1,62 @@ +=================================================================== +A driver for a selfmade cheap BT8xx based PCI GPIO-card (bt8xxgpio) +=================================================================== + +For advanced documentation, see https://bues.ch/cms/unmaintained/btgpio.html + +A generic digital 24-port PCI GPIO card can be built out of an ordinary +Brooktree bt848, bt849, bt878 or bt879 based analog TV tuner card.

For a description of the +deprecated integer-based GPIO interface please refer to legacy.rst. + + +Guidelines for GPIOs consumers +============================== + +Drivers that can't work without standard GPIO calls should have Kconfig entries +that depend on GPIOLIB or select GPIOLIB. The functions that allow a driver to +obtain and use GPIOs are available by including the following file:: + + #include <linux/gpio/consumer.h> + +There are static inline stubs for all functions in the header file in the case +where GPIOLIB is disabled.

The use +of the legacy functions is strongly discouraged, new code should use +<linux/gpio/consumer.h> and descriptors exclusively. + + +Obtaining and Disposing GPIOs +============================= + +With the descriptor-based interface, GPIOs are identified with an opaque, +non-forgeable handler that must be obtained through a call to one of the +gpiod_get() functions. Like many other kernel subsystems, gpiod_get() takes the +device that will use the GPIO and the function the requested GPIO is supposed to +fulfill:: + + struct gpio_desc *gpiod_get(struct device *dev, const char *con_id, + enum gpiod_flags flags) + +If a function is implemented by using several GPIOs together (e.g. a simple LED +device that displays digits), an additional index argument can be specified:: + + struct gpio_desc *gpiod_get_index(struct device *dev, + const char *con_id, unsigned int idx, + enum gpiod_flags flags) + +For a more detailed description of the con_id parameter in the DeviceTree case +see Documentation/driver-api/gpio/board.rst + +The flags parameter is used to optionally specify a direction and initial value +for the GPIO. Values can be: + +* GPIOD_ASIS or 0 to not initialize the GPIO at all. The direction must be set + later with one of the dedicated functions. +* GPIOD_IN to initialize the GPIO as input. +* GPIOD_OUT_LOW to initialize the GPIO as output with a value of 0. +* GPIOD_OUT_HIGH to initialize the GPIO as output with a value of 1. +* GPIOD_OUT_LOW_OPEN_DRAIN same as GPIOD_OUT_LOW but also enforce the line + to be electrically used with open drain. +* GPIOD_OUT_HIGH_OPEN_DRAIN same as GPIOD_OUT_HIGH but also enforce the line + to be electrically used with open drain. + +Note that the initial value is *logical* and the physical line level depends on +whether the line is configured active high or active low (see +:ref:`active_low_semantics`). + +The two last flags are used for use cases where open drain is mandatory, such +as I2C: if the line is not already configured as open drain in the mappings +(see board.rst), then open drain will be enforced anyway and a warning will be +printed that the board configuration needs to be updated to match the use case. + +Both functions return either a valid GPIO descriptor, or an error code checkable +with IS_ERR() (they will never return a NULL pointer). -ENOENT will be returned +if and only if no GPIO has been assigned to the device/function/index triplet, +other error codes are used for cases where a GPIO has been assigned but an error +occurred while trying to acquire it. This is useful to discriminate between mere +errors and an absence of GPIO for optional GPIO parameters. For the common +pattern where a GPIO is optional, the gpiod_get_optional() and +gpiod_get_index_optional() functions can be used. These functions return NULL +instead of -ENOENT if no GPIO has been assigned to the requested function:: + + struct gpio_desc *gpiod_get_optional(struct device *dev, + const char *con_id, + enum gpiod_flags flags) + + struct gpio_desc *gpiod_get_index_optional(struct device *dev, + const char *con_id, + unsigned int index, + enum gpiod_flags flags) + +Note that gpio_get*_optional() functions (and their managed variants), unlike +the rest of gpiolib API, also return NULL when gpiolib support is disabled. +This is helpful to driver authors, since they do not need to special case +-ENOSYS return codes.

If no +direction-setting flags have been given to gpiod_get*(), this is done by +invoking one of the gpiod_direction_*() functions:: + + int gpiod_direction_input(struct gpio_desc *desc) + int gpiod_direction_output(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value) + +The return value is zero for success, else a negative errno. It should be +checked, since the get/set calls don't return errors and since misconfiguration +is possible. You should normally issue these calls from a task context. However, +for spinlock-safe GPIOs it is OK to use them before tasking is enabled, as part +of early board setup. + +For output GPIOs, the value provided becomes the initial output value. This +helps avoid signal glitching during system startup. + +A driver can also query the current direction of a GPIO:: + + int gpiod_get_direction(const struct gpio_desc *desc) + +This function returns 0 for output, 1 for input, or an error code in case of error. + +Be aware that there is no default direction for GPIOs. Therefore, **using a GPIO +without setting its direction first is illegal and will result in undefined +behavior!** + + +Spinlock-Safe GPIO Access +------------------------- +Most GPIO controllers can be accessed with memory read/write instructions. Those +don't need to sleep, and can safely be done from inside hard (non-threaded) IRQ +handlers and similar contexts. + +Use the following calls to access GPIOs from an atomic context:: + + int gpiod_get_value(const struct gpio_desc *desc); + void gpiod_set_value(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value); + +The values are boolean, zero for low, nonzero for high. When reading the value +of an output pin, the value returned should be what's seen on the pin. That +won't always match the specified output value, because of issues including +open-drain signaling and output latencies. + +The get/set calls do not return errors because "invalid GPIO" should have been +reported earlier from gpiod_direction_*(). However, note that not all platforms +can read the value of output pins; those that can't should always return zero. +Also, using these calls for GPIOs that can't safely be accessed without sleeping +(see below) is an error. + + +GPIO Access That May Sleep +-------------------------- +Some GPIO controllers must be accessed using message based buses like I2C or +SPI. Commands to read or write those GPIO values require waiting to get to the +head of a queue to transmit a command and get its response. This requires +sleeping, which can't be done from inside IRQ handlers. + +Platforms that support this type of GPIO distinguish them from other GPIOs by +returning nonzero from this call:: + + int gpiod_cansleep(const struct gpio_desc *desc) + +To access such GPIOs, a different set of accessors is defined:: + + int gpiod_get_value_cansleep(const struct gpio_desc *desc) + void gpiod_set_value_cansleep(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value) + +Accessing such GPIOs requires a context which may sleep, for example a threaded +IRQ handler, and those accessors must be used instead of spinlock-safe +accessors without the cansleep() name suffix. + +Other than the fact that these accessors might sleep, and will work on GPIOs +that can't be accessed from hardIRQ handlers, these calls act the same as the +spinlock-safe calls. + + +.. _active_low_semantics: + +The active low and open drain semantics +--------------------------------------- +As a consumer should not have to care about the physical line level, all of the +gpiod_set_value_xxx() or gpiod_set_array_value_xxx() functions operate with +the *logical* value. With this they take the active low property into account. +This means that they check whether the GPIO is configured to be active low, +and if so, they manipulate the passed value before the physical line level is +driven. + +The same is applicable for open drain or open source output lines: those do not +actively drive their output high (open drain) or low (open source), they just +switch their output to a high impedance value. The consumer should not need to +care. (For details read about open drain in driver.rst.) + +With this, all the gpiod_set_(array)_value_xxx() functions interpret the +parameter "value" as "asserted" ("1") or "de-asserted" ("0"). The physical line +level will be driven accordingly. + +As an example, if the active low property for a dedicated GPIO is set, and the +gpiod_set_(array)_value_xxx() passes "asserted" ("1"), the physical line level +will be driven low. + +To summarize:: + + Function (example) line property physical line + gpiod_set_raw_value(desc, 0); don't care low + gpiod_set_raw_value(desc, 1); don't care high + gpiod_set_value(desc, 0); default (active high) low + gpiod_set_value(desc, 1); default (active high) high + gpiod_set_value(desc, 0); active low high + gpiod_set_value(desc, 1); active low low + gpiod_set_value(desc, 0); open drain low + gpiod_set_value(desc, 1); open drain high impedance + gpiod_set_value(desc, 0); open source high impedance + gpiod_set_value(desc, 1); open source high + +It is possible to override these semantics using the set_raw/get_raw functions +but it should be avoided as much as possible, especially by system-agnostic drivers +which should not need to care about the actual physical line level and worry about +the logical value instead. + + +Accessing raw GPIO values +------------------------- +Consumers exist that need to manage the logical state of a GPIO line, i.e. the value +their device will actually receive, no matter what lies between it and the GPIO +line. + +The following set of calls ignore the active-low or open drain property of a GPIO and +work on the raw line value:: + + int gpiod_get_raw_value(const struct gpio_desc *desc) + void gpiod_set_raw_value(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value) + int gpiod_get_raw_value_cansleep(const struct gpio_desc *desc) + void gpiod_set_raw_value_cansleep(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value) + int gpiod_direction_output_raw(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value) + +The active low state of a GPIO can also be queried and toggled using the +following calls:: + + int gpiod_is_active_low(const struct gpio_desc *desc) + void gpiod_toggle_active_low(struct gpio_desc *desc) + +Note that these functions should only be used with great moderation; a driver +should not have to care about the physical line level or open drain semantics. + + +Access multiple GPIOs with a single function call +------------------------------------------------- +The following functions get or set the values of an array of GPIOs:: + + int gpiod_get_array_value(unsigned int array_size, + struct gpio_desc **desc_array, + struct gpio_array *array_info, + unsigned long *value_bitmap); + int gpiod_get_raw_array_value(unsigned int array_size, + struct gpio_desc **desc_array, + struct gpio_array *array_info, + unsigned long *value_bitmap); + int gpiod_get_array_value_cansleep(unsigned int array_size, + struct gpio_desc **desc_array, + struct gpio_array *array_info, + unsigned long *value_bitmap); + int gpiod_get_raw_array_value_cansleep(unsigned int array_size, + struct gpio_desc **desc_array, + struct gpio_array *array_info, + unsigned long *value_bitmap); + + int gpiod_set_array_value(unsigned int array_size, + struct gpio_desc **desc_array, + struct gpio_array *array_info, + unsigned long *value_bitmap) + int gpiod_set_raw_array_value(unsigned int array_size, + struct gpio_desc **desc_array, + struct gpio_array *array_info, + unsigned long *value_bitmap) + int gpiod_set_array_value_cansleep(unsigned int array_size, + struct gpio_desc **desc_array, + struct gpio_array *array_info, + unsigned long *value_bitmap) + int gpiod_set_raw_array_value_cansleep(unsigned int array_size, + struct gpio_desc **desc_array, + struct gpio_array *array_info, + unsigned long *value_bitmap) + +The array can be an arbitrary set of GPIOs. The functions will try to access +GPIOs belonging to the same bank or chip simultaneously if supported by the +corresponding chip driver. In that case a significantly improved performance +can be expected. If simultaneous access is not possible the GPIOs will be +accessed sequentially. + +The functions take four arguments: + + * array_size - the number of array elements + * desc_array - an array of GPIO descriptors + * array_info - optional information obtained from gpiod_get_array() + * value_bitmap - a bitmap to store the GPIOs' values (get) or + a bitmap of values to assign to the GPIOs (set) + +The descriptor array can be obtained using the gpiod_get_array() function +or one of its variants. If the group of descriptors returned by that function +matches the desired group of GPIOs, those GPIOs can be accessed by simply using +the struct gpio_descs returned by gpiod_get_array():: + + struct gpio_descs *my_gpio_descs = gpiod_get_array(...); + gpiod_set_array_value(my_gpio_descs->ndescs, my_gpio_descs->desc, + my_gpio_descs->info, my_gpio_value_bitmap); + +It is also possible to access a completely arbitrary array of descriptors. The +descriptors may be obtained using any combination of gpiod_get() and +gpiod_get_array(). Afterwards the array of descriptors has to be setup +manually before it can be passed to one of the above functions. In that case, +array_info should be set to NULL. + +Note that for optimal performance GPIOs belonging to the same chip should be +contiguous within the array of descriptors. + +Still better performance may be achieved if array indexes of the descriptors +match hardware pin numbers of a single chip. If an array passed to a get/set +array function matches the one obtained from gpiod_get_array() and array_info +associated with the array is also passed, the function may take a fast bitmap +processing path, passing the value_bitmap argument directly to the respective +.get/set_multiple() callback of the chip. That allows for utilization of GPIO +banks as data I/O ports without much loss of performance. + +The return value of gpiod_get_array_value() and its variants is 0 on success +or negative on error. Note the difference to gpiod_get_value(), which returns +0 or 1 on success to convey the GPIO value. With the array functions, the GPIO +values are stored in value_array rather than passed back as return value. + + +GPIOs mapped to IRQs +-------------------- +GPIO lines can quite often be used as IRQs. You can get the IRQ number +corresponding to a given GPIO using the following call:: + + int gpiod_to_irq(const struct gpio_desc *desc) + +It will return an IRQ number, or a negative errno code if the mapping can't be +done (most likely because that particular GPIO cannot be used as IRQ). It is an +unchecked error to use a GPIO that wasn't set up as an input using +gpiod_direction_input(), or to use an IRQ number that didn't originally come +from gpiod_to_irq(). gpiod_to_irq() is not allowed to sleep. + +Non-error values returned from gpiod_to_irq() can be passed to request_irq() or +free_irq(). They will often be stored into IRQ resources for platform devices, +by the board-specific initialization code. Note that IRQ trigger options are +part of the IRQ interface, e.g. IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING, as are system wakeup +capabilities. + + +GPIOs and ACPI +============== + +On ACPI systems, GPIOs are described by GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources listed by +the _CRS configuration objects of devices. Those resources do not provide +connection IDs (names) for GPIOs, so it is necessary to use an additional +mechanism for this purpose. + +Systems compliant with ACPI 5.1 or newer may provide a _DSD configuration object +which, among other things, may be used to provide connection IDs for specific +GPIOs described by the GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources in _CRS. If that is the +case, it will be handled by the GPIO subsystem automatically. However, if the +_DSD is not present, the mappings between GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources and GPIO +connection IDs need to be provided by device drivers. + +For details refer to Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/gpio-properties.rst + + +Interacting With the Legacy GPIO Subsystem +========================================== +Many kernel subsystems and drivers still handle GPIOs using the legacy +integer-based interface. It is strongly recommended to update these to the new +gpiod interface. For cases where both interfaces need to be used, the following +two functions allow to convert a GPIO descriptor into the GPIO integer namespace +and vice-versa:: + + int desc_to_gpio(const struct gpio_desc *desc) + struct gpio_desc *gpio_to_desc(unsigned gpio) + +The GPIO number returned by desc_to_gpio() can safely be used as a parameter of +the gpio\_*() functions for as long as the GPIO descriptor `desc` is not freed. +All the same, a GPIO number passed to gpio_to_desc() must first be properly +acquired using e.g. gpio_request_one(), and the returned GPIO descriptor is only +considered valid until that GPIO number is released using gpio_free(). + +Freeing a GPIO obtained by one API with the other API is forbidden and an +unchecked error. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/gpio/driver.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/gpio/driver.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..6baaeab79 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/gpio/driver.rst @@ -0,0 +1,778 @@ +===================== +GPIO Driver Interface +===================== + +This document serves as a guide for writers of GPIO chip drivers. + +Each GPIO controller driver needs to include the following header, which defines +the structures used to define a GPIO driver:: + + #include <linux/gpio/driver.h> + + +Internal Representation of GPIOs +================================ + +A GPIO chip handles one or more GPIO lines. To be considered a GPIO chip, the +lines must conform to the definition: General Purpose Input/Output. If the +line is not general purpose, it is not GPIO and should not be handled by a +GPIO chip. The use case is the indicative: certain lines in a system may be +called GPIO but serve a very particular purpose thus not meeting the criteria +of a general purpose I/O. On the other hand a LED driver line may be used as a +GPIO and should therefore still be handled by a GPIO chip driver. + +Inside a GPIO driver, individual GPIO lines are identified by their hardware +number, sometime also referred to as ``offset``, which is a unique number +between 0 and n-1, n being the number of GPIOs managed by the chip. + +The hardware GPIO number should be something intuitive to the hardware, for +example if a system uses a memory-mapped set of I/O-registers where 32 GPIO +lines are handled by one bit per line in a 32-bit register, it makes sense to +use hardware offsets 0..31 for these, corresponding to bits 0..31 in the +register. + +This number is purely internal: the hardware number of a particular GPIO +line is never made visible outside of the driver. + +On top of this internal number, each GPIO line also needs to have a global +number in the integer GPIO namespace so that it can be used with the legacy GPIO +interface. Each chip must thus have a "base" number (which can be automatically +assigned), and for each GPIO line the global number will be (base + hardware +number). Although the integer representation is considered deprecated, it still +has many users and thus needs to be maintained. + +So for example one platform could use global numbers 32-159 for GPIOs, with a +controller defining 128 GPIOs at a "base" of 32 ; while another platform uses +global numbers 0..63 with one set of GPIO controllers, 64-79 with another type +of GPIO controller, and on one particular board 80-95 with an FPGA. The legacy +numbers need not be contiguous; either of those platforms could also use numbers +2000-2063 to identify GPIO lines in a bank of I2C GPIO expanders. + + +Controller Drivers: gpio_chip +============================= + +In the gpiolib framework each GPIO controller is packaged as a "struct +gpio_chip" (see <linux/gpio/driver.h> for its complete definition) with members +common to each controller of that type, these should be assigned by the +driver code: + + - methods to establish GPIO line direction + - methods used to access GPIO line values + - method to set electrical configuration for a given GPIO line + - method to return the IRQ number associated to a given GPIO line + - flag saying whether calls to its methods may sleep + - optional line names array to identify lines + - optional debugfs dump method (showing extra state information) + - optional base number (will be automatically assigned if omitted) + - optional label for diagnostics and GPIO chip mapping using platform data + +The code implementing a gpio_chip should support multiple instances of the +controller, preferably using the driver model. That code will configure each +gpio_chip and issue gpiochip_add(), gpiochip_add_data(), or +devm_gpiochip_add_data(). Removing a GPIO controller should be rare; use +gpiochip_remove() when it is unavoidable. + +Often a gpio_chip is part of an instance-specific structure with states not +exposed by the GPIO interfaces, such as addressing, power management, and more. +Chips such as audio codecs will have complex non-GPIO states. + +Any debugfs dump method should normally ignore lines which haven't been +requested. They can use gpiochip_is_requested(), which returns either +NULL or the label associated with that GPIO line when it was requested. + +Realtime considerations: the GPIO driver should not use spinlock_t or any +sleepable APIs (like PM runtime) in its gpio_chip implementation (.get/.set +and direction control callbacks) if it is expected to call GPIO APIs from +atomic context on realtime kernels (inside hard IRQ handlers and similar +contexts). Normally this should not be required. + + +GPIO electrical configuration +----------------------------- + +GPIO lines can be configured for several electrical modes of operation by using +the .set_config() callback. Currently this API supports setting: + +- Debouncing +- Single-ended modes (open drain/open source) +- Pull up and pull down resistor enablement + +These settings are described below. + +The .set_config() callback uses the same enumerators and configuration +semantics as the generic pin control drivers. This is not a coincidence: it is +possible to assign the .set_config() to the function gpiochip_generic_config() +which will result in pinctrl_gpio_set_config() being called and eventually +ending up in the pin control back-end "behind" the GPIO controller, usually +closer to the actual pins. This way the pin controller can manage the below +listed GPIO configurations. + +If a pin controller back-end is used, the GPIO controller or hardware +description needs to provide "GPIO ranges" mapping the GPIO line offsets to pin +numbers on the pin controller so they can properly cross-reference each other. + + +GPIO lines with debounce support +-------------------------------- + +Debouncing is a configuration set to a pin indicating that it is connected to +a mechanical switch or button, or similar that may bounce. Bouncing means the +line is pulled high/low quickly at very short intervals for mechanical +reasons. This can result in the value being unstable or irqs firing repeatedly +unless the line is debounced. + +Debouncing in practice involves setting up a timer when something happens on +the line, wait a little while and then sample the line again, so see if it +still has the same value (low or high). This could also be repeated by a clever +state machine, waiting for a line to become stable. In either case, it sets +a certain number of milliseconds for debouncing, or just "on/off" if that time +is not configurable. + + +GPIO lines with open drain/source support +----------------------------------------- + +Open drain (CMOS) or open collector (TTL) means the line is not actively driven +high: instead you provide the drain/collector as output, so when the transistor +is not open, it will present a high-impedance (tristate) to the external rail:: + + + CMOS CONFIGURATION TTL CONFIGURATION + + ||--- out +--- out + in ----|| |/ + ||--+ in ----| + | |\ + GND GND + +This configuration is normally used as a way to achieve one of two things: + +- Level-shifting: to reach a logical level higher than that of the silicon + where the output resides. + +- Inverse wire-OR on an I/O line, for example a GPIO line, making it possible + for any driving stage on the line to drive it low even if any other output + to the same line is simultaneously driving it high. A special case of this + is driving the SCL and SDA lines of an I2C bus, which is by definition a + wire-OR bus. + +Both use cases require that the line be equipped with a pull-up resistor. This +resistor will make the line tend to high level unless one of the transistors on +the rail actively pulls it down. + +The level on the line will go as high as the VDD on the pull-up resistor, which +may be higher than the level supported by the transistor, achieving a +level-shift to the higher VDD. + +Integrated electronics often have an output driver stage in the form of a CMOS +"totem-pole" with one N-MOS and one P-MOS transistor where one of them drives +the line high and one of them drives the line low. This is called a push-pull +output. The "totem-pole" looks like so:: + + VDD + | + OD ||--+ + +--/ ---o|| P-MOS-FET + | ||--+ + IN --+ +----- out + | ||--+ + +--/ ----|| N-MOS-FET + OS ||--+ + | + GND + +The desired output signal (e.g. coming directly from some GPIO output register) +arrives at IN. The switches named "OD" and "OS" are normally closed, creating +a push-pull circuit. + +Consider the little "switches" named "OD" and "OS" that enable/disable the +P-MOS or N-MOS transistor right after the split of the input. As you can see, +either transistor will go totally numb if this switch is open. The totem-pole +is then halved and give high impedance instead of actively driving the line +high or low respectively. That is usually how software-controlled open +drain/source works. + +Some GPIO hardware come in open drain / open source configuration. Some are +hard-wired lines that will only support open drain or open source no matter +what: there is only one transistor there. Some are software-configurable: +by flipping a bit in a register the output can be configured as open drain +or open source, in practice by flicking open the switches labeled "OD" and "OS" +in the drawing above. + +By disabling the P-MOS transistor, the output can be driven between GND and +high impedance (open drain), and by disabling the N-MOS transistor, the output +can be driven between VDD and high impedance (open source). In the first case, +a pull-up resistor is needed on the outgoing rail to complete the circuit, and +in the second case, a pull-down resistor is needed on the rail. + +Hardware that supports open drain or open source or both, can implement a +special callback in the gpio_chip: .set_config() that takes a generic +pinconf packed value telling whether to configure the line as open drain, +open source or push-pull. This will happen in response to the +GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN or GPIO_OPEN_SOURCE flag set in the machine file, or coming +from other hardware descriptions. + +If this state can not be configured in hardware, i.e. if the GPIO hardware does +not support open drain/open source in hardware, the GPIO library will instead +use a trick: when a line is set as output, if the line is flagged as open +drain, and the IN output value is low, it will be driven low as usual. But +if the IN output value is set to high, it will instead *NOT* be driven high, +instead it will be switched to input, as input mode is high impedance, thus +achieving an "open drain emulation" of sorts: electrically the behaviour will +be identical, with the exception of possible hardware glitches when switching +the mode of the line. + +For open source configuration the same principle is used, just that instead +of actively driving the line low, it is set to input. + + +GPIO lines with pull up/down resistor support +--------------------------------------------- + +A GPIO line can support pull-up/down using the .set_config() callback. This +means that a pull up or pull-down resistor is available on the output of the +GPIO line, and this resistor is software controlled. + +In discrete designs, a pull-up or pull-down resistor is simply soldered on +the circuit board. This is not something we deal with or model in software. The +most you will think about these lines is that they will very likely be +configured as open drain or open source (see the section above). + +The .set_config() callback can only turn pull up or down on and off, and will +no have any semantic knowledge about the resistance used. It will only say +switch a bit in a register enabling or disabling pull-up or pull-down. + +If the GPIO line supports shunting in different resistance values for the +pull-up or pull-down resistor, the GPIO chip callback .set_config() will not +suffice. For these complex use cases, a combined GPIO chip and pin controller +need to be implemented, as the pin config interface of a pin controller +supports more versatile control over electrical properties and can handle +different pull-up or pull-down resistance values. + + +GPIO drivers providing IRQs +=========================== + +It is custom that GPIO drivers (GPIO chips) are also providing interrupts, +most often cascaded off a parent interrupt controller, and in some special +cases the GPIO logic is melded with a SoC's primary interrupt controller. + +The IRQ portions of the GPIO block are implemented using an irq_chip, using +the header <linux/irq.h>. So this combined driver is utilizing two sub- +systems simultaneously: gpio and irq. + +It is legal for any IRQ consumer to request an IRQ from any irqchip even if it +is a combined GPIO+IRQ driver. The basic premise is that gpio_chip and +irq_chip are orthogonal, and offering their services independent of each +other. + +gpiod_to_irq() is just a convenience function to figure out the IRQ for a +certain GPIO line and should not be relied upon to have been called before +the IRQ is used. + +Always prepare the hardware and make it ready for action in respective +callbacks from the GPIO and irq_chip APIs. Do not rely on gpiod_to_irq() having +been called first. + +We can divide GPIO irqchips in two broad categories: + +- CASCADED INTERRUPT CHIPS: this means that the GPIO chip has one common + interrupt output line, which is triggered by any enabled GPIO line on that + chip. The interrupt output line will then be routed to an parent interrupt + controller one level up, in the most simple case the systems primary + interrupt controller. This is modeled by an irqchip that will inspect bits + inside the GPIO controller to figure out which line fired it. The irqchip + part of the driver needs to inspect registers to figure this out and it + will likely also need to acknowledge that it is handling the interrupt + by clearing some bit (sometime implicitly, by just reading a status + register) and it will often need to set up the configuration such as + edge sensitivity (rising or falling edge, or high/low level interrupt for + example). + +- HIERARCHICAL INTERRUPT CHIPS: this means that each GPIO line has a dedicated + irq line to a parent interrupt controller one level up. There is no need + to inquire the GPIO hardware to figure out which line has fired, but it + may still be necessary to acknowledge the interrupt and set up configuration + such as edge sensitivity. + +Realtime considerations: a realtime compliant GPIO driver should not use +spinlock_t or any sleepable APIs (like PM runtime) as part of its irqchip +implementation. + +- spinlock_t should be replaced with raw_spinlock_t.[1] +- If sleepable APIs have to be used, these can be done from the .irq_bus_lock() + and .irq_bus_unlock() callbacks, as these are the only slowpath callbacks + on an irqchip. Create the callbacks if needed.[2] + + +Cascaded GPIO irqchips +---------------------- + +Cascaded GPIO irqchips usually fall in one of three categories: + +- CHAINED CASCADED GPIO IRQCHIPS: these are usually the type that is embedded on + an SoC. This means that there is a fast IRQ flow handler for the GPIOs that + gets called in a chain from the parent IRQ handler, most typically the + system interrupt controller. This means that the GPIO irqchip handler will + be called immediately from the parent irqchip, while holding the IRQs + disabled. The GPIO irqchip will then end up calling something like this + sequence in its interrupt handler:: + + static irqreturn_t foo_gpio_irq(int irq, void *data) + chained_irq_enter(...); + generic_handle_irq(...); + chained_irq_exit(...); + + Chained GPIO irqchips typically can NOT set the .can_sleep flag on + struct gpio_chip, as everything happens directly in the callbacks: no + slow bus traffic like I2C can be used. + + Realtime considerations: Note that chained IRQ handlers will not be forced + threaded on -RT. As a result, spinlock_t or any sleepable APIs (like PM + runtime) can't be used in a chained IRQ handler. + + If required (and if it can't be converted to the nested threaded GPIO irqchip, + see below) a chained IRQ handler can be converted to generic irq handler and + this way it will become a threaded IRQ handler on -RT and a hard IRQ handler + on non-RT (for example, see [3]). + + The generic_handle_irq() is expected to be called with IRQ disabled, + so the IRQ core will complain if it is called from an IRQ handler which is + forced to a thread. The "fake?" raw lock can be used to work around this + problem:: + + raw_spinlock_t wa_lock; + static irqreturn_t omap_gpio_irq_handler(int irq, void *gpiobank) + unsigned long wa_lock_flags; + raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&bank->wa_lock, wa_lock_flags); + generic_handle_irq(irq_find_mapping(bank->chip.irq.domain, bit)); + raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&bank->wa_lock, wa_lock_flags); + +- GENERIC CHAINED GPIO IRQCHIPS: these are the same as "CHAINED GPIO irqchips", + but chained IRQ handlers are not used. Instead GPIO IRQs dispatching is + performed by generic IRQ handler which is configured using request_irq(). + The GPIO irqchip will then end up calling something like this sequence in + its interrupt handler:: + + static irqreturn_t gpio_rcar_irq_handler(int irq, void *dev_id) + for each detected GPIO IRQ + generic_handle_irq(...); + + Realtime considerations: this kind of handlers will be forced threaded on -RT, + and as result the IRQ core will complain that generic_handle_irq() is called + with IRQ enabled and the same work-around as for "CHAINED GPIO irqchips" can + be applied. + +- NESTED THREADED GPIO IRQCHIPS: these are off-chip GPIO expanders and any + other GPIO irqchip residing on the other side of a sleeping bus such as I2C + or SPI. + + Of course such drivers that need slow bus traffic to read out IRQ status and + similar, traffic which may in turn incur other IRQs to happen, cannot be + handled in a quick IRQ handler with IRQs disabled. Instead they need to spawn + a thread and then mask the parent IRQ line until the interrupt is handled + by the driver. The hallmark of this driver is to call something like + this in its interrupt handler:: + + static irqreturn_t foo_gpio_irq(int irq, void *data) + ... + handle_nested_irq(irq); + + The hallmark of threaded GPIO irqchips is that they set the .can_sleep + flag on struct gpio_chip to true, indicating that this chip may sleep + when accessing the GPIOs. + + These kinds of irqchips are inherently realtime tolerant as they are + already set up to handle sleeping contexts. + + +Infrastructure helpers for GPIO irqchips +---------------------------------------- + +To help out in handling the set-up and management of GPIO irqchips and the +associated irqdomain and resource allocation callbacks. These are activated +by selecting the Kconfig symbol GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP. If the symbol +IRQ_DOMAIN_HIERARCHY is also selected, hierarchical helpers will also be +provided. A big portion of overhead code will be managed by gpiolib, +under the assumption that your interrupts are 1-to-1-mapped to the +GPIO line index: + +.. csv-table:: + :header: GPIO line offset, Hardware IRQ + + 0,0 + 1,1 + 2,2 + ...,... + ngpio-1, ngpio-1 + + +If some GPIO lines do not have corresponding IRQs, the bitmask valid_mask +and the flag need_valid_mask in gpio_irq_chip can be used to mask off some +lines as invalid for associating with IRQs. + +The preferred way to set up the helpers is to fill in the +struct gpio_irq_chip inside struct gpio_chip before adding the gpio_chip. +If you do this, the additional irq_chip will be set up by gpiolib at the +same time as setting up the rest of the GPIO functionality.

This allocates an +.irq.valid_mask with as many bits set as there are GPIO lines in the chip, each +bit representing line 0..n-1. Drivers can exclude GPIO lines by clearing bits +from this mask. The mask can be filled in the init_valid_mask() callback +that is part of the struct gpio_irq_chip. + +To use the helpers please keep the following in mind: + +- Make sure to assign all relevant members of the struct gpio_chip so that + the irqchip can initialize. E.g. .dev and .can_sleep shall be set up + properly. + +- Nominally set gpio_irq_chip.handler to handle_bad_irq. Then, if your irqchip + is cascaded, set the handler to handle_level_irq() and/or handle_edge_irq() + in the irqchip .set_type() callback depending on what your controller + supports and what is requested by the consumer. + + +Locking IRQ usage +----------------- + +Since GPIO and irq_chip are orthogonal, we can get conflicts between different +use cases. For example a GPIO line used for IRQs should be an input line, +it does not make sense to fire interrupts on an output GPIO. + +If there is competition inside the subsystem which side is using the +resource (a certain GPIO line and register for example) it needs to deny +certain operations and keep track of usage inside of the gpiolib subsystem. + +Input GPIOs can be used as IRQ signals. When this happens, a driver is requested +to mark the GPIO as being used as an IRQ:: + + int gpiochip_lock_as_irq(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned int offset) + +This will prevent the use of non-irq related GPIO APIs until the GPIO IRQ lock +is released:: + + void gpiochip_unlock_as_irq(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned int offset) + +When implementing an irqchip inside a GPIO driver, these two functions should +typically be called in the .startup() and .shutdown() callbacks from the +irqchip. + +When using the gpiolib irqchip helpers, these callbacks are automatically +assigned. + + +Disabling and enabling IRQs +--------------------------- + +In some (fringe) use cases, a driver may be using a GPIO line as input for IRQs, +but occasionally switch that line over to drive output and then back to being +an input with interrupts again. This happens on things like CEC (Consumer +Electronics Control). + +When a GPIO is used as an IRQ signal, then gpiolib also needs to know if +the IRQ is enabled or disabled. In order to inform gpiolib about this, +the irqchip driver should call:: + + void gpiochip_disable_irq(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned int offset) + +This allows drivers to drive the GPIO as an output while the IRQ is +disabled. When the IRQ is enabled again, a driver should call:: + + void gpiochip_enable_irq(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned int offset) + +When implementing an irqchip inside a GPIO driver, these two functions should +typically be called in the .irq_disable() and .irq_enable() callbacks from the +irqchip. + +When IRQCHIP_IMMUTABLE is not advertised by the irqchip, these callbacks +are automatically assigned. This behaviour is deprecated and on its way +to be removed from the kernel. + + +Real-Time compliance for GPIO IRQ chips +--------------------------------------- + +Any provider of irqchips needs to be carefully tailored to support Real-Time +preemption. It is desirable that all irqchips in the GPIO subsystem keep this +in mind and do the proper testing to assure they are real time-enabled. + +So, pay attention on above realtime considerations in the documentation. + +The following is a checklist to follow when preparing a driver for real-time +compliance: + +- ensure spinlock_t is not used as part irq_chip implementation +- ensure that sleepable APIs are not used as part irq_chip implementation + If sleepable APIs have to be used, these can be done from the .irq_bus_lock() + and .irq_bus_unlock() callbacks +- Chained GPIO irqchips: ensure spinlock_t or any sleepable APIs are not used + from the chained IRQ handler +- Generic chained GPIO irqchips: take care about generic_handle_irq() calls and + apply corresponding work-around +- Chained GPIO irqchips: get rid of the chained IRQ handler and use generic irq + handler if possible +- regmap_mmio: it is possible to disable internal locking in regmap by setting + .disable_locking and handling the locking in the GPIO driver +- Test your driver with the appropriate in-kernel real-time test cases for both + level and edge IRQs + +* [1] http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-omap/msg120425.html +* [2] https://lore.kernel.org/r/1443209283-20781-2-git-send-email-grygorii.strashko@ti.com +* [3] https://lore.kernel.org/r/1443209283-20781-3-git-send-email-grygorii.strashko@ti.com + + +Requesting self-owned GPIO pins +=============================== + +Sometimes it is useful to allow a GPIO chip driver to request its own GPIO +descriptors through the gpiolib API.

However in practice the signal of a +GPIO may be inverted before is reaches its destination, or a device could decide +to have different conventions about what "active" means. Such decisions should +be transparent to device drivers, therefore it is possible to define a GPIO as +being either active-high ("1" means "active", the default) or active-low ("0" +means "active") so that drivers only need to worry about the logical signal and +not about what happens at the line level. + +Open Drain and Open Source +-------------------------- +Sometimes shared signals need to use "open drain" (where only the low signal +level is actually driven), or "open source" (where only the high signal level is +driven) signaling. That term applies to CMOS transistors; "open collector" is +used for TTL. A pullup or pulldown resistor causes the high or low signal level. +This is sometimes called a "wire-AND"; or more practically, from the negative +logic (low=true) perspective this is a "wire-OR". + +One common example of an open drain signal is a shared active-low IRQ line. +Also, bidirectional data bus signals sometimes use open drain signals. + +Some GPIO controllers directly support open drain and open source outputs; many +don't. When you need open drain signaling but your hardware doesn't directly +support it, there's a common idiom you can use to emulate it with any GPIO pin +that can be used as either an input or an output: + + **LOW**: ``gpiod_direction_output(gpio, 0)`` ... this drives the signal and + overrides the pullup. + + **HIGH**: ``gpiod_direction_input(gpio)`` ... this turns off the output, so + the pullup (or some other device) controls the signal. + +The same logic can be applied to emulate open source signaling, by driving the +high signal and configuring the GPIO as input for low. This open drain/open +source emulation can be handled transparently by the GPIO framework. + +If you are "driving" the signal high but gpiod_get_value(gpio) reports a low +value (after the appropriate rise time passes), you know some other component is +driving the shared signal low. That's not necessarily an error. As one common +example, that's how I2C clocks are stretched: a slave that needs a slower clock +delays the rising edge of SCK, and the I2C master adjusts its signaling rate +accordingly. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/gpio/legacy.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/gpio/legacy.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..9b12eeb89 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/gpio/legacy.rst @@ -0,0 +1,769 @@ +====================== +Legacy GPIO Interfaces +====================== + +This provides an overview of GPIO access conventions on Linux. + +These calls use the gpio_* naming prefix.

There **are** cases where portability +is not the main issue; GPIOs are often used for the kind of board-specific +glue logic that may even change between board revisions, and can't ever be +used on a board that's wired differently. Only least-common-denominator +functionality can be very portable. Other features are platform-specific, +and that can be critical for glue logic. + +Plus, this doesn't require any implementation framework, just an interface. +One platform might implement it as simple inline functions accessing chip +registers; another might implement it by delegating through abstractions +used for several very different kinds of GPIO controller. (There is some +optional code supporting such an implementation strategy, described later +in this document, but drivers acting as clients to the GPIO interface must +not care how it's implemented.) + +That said, if the convention is supported on their platform, drivers should +use it when possible. Platforms must select GPIOLIB if GPIO functionality +is strictly required. Drivers that can't work without +standard GPIO calls should have Kconfig entries which depend on GPIOLIB. The +GPIO calls are available, either as "real code" or as optimized-away stubs, +when drivers use the include file: + + #include <linux/gpio.h> + +If you stick to this convention then it'll be easier for other developers to +see what your code is doing, and help maintain it. + +Note that these operations include I/O barriers on platforms which need to +use them; drivers don't need to add them explicitly. + + +Identifying GPIOs +----------------- +GPIOs are identified by unsigned integers in the range 0..MAX_INT. That +reserves "negative" numbers for other purposes like marking signals as +"not available on this board", or indicating faults. Code that doesn't +touch the underlying hardware treats these integers as opaque cookies. + +Platforms define how they use those integers, and usually #define symbols +for the GPIO lines so that board-specific setup code directly corresponds +to the relevant schematics. In contrast, drivers should only use GPIO +numbers passed to them from that setup code, using platform_data to hold +board-specific pin configuration data (along with other board specific +data they need). That avoids portability problems. + +So for example one platform uses numbers 32-159 for GPIOs; while another +uses numbers 0..63 with one set of GPIO controllers, 64-79 with another +type of GPIO controller, and on one particular board 80-95 with an FPGA. +The numbers need not be contiguous; either of those platforms could also +use numbers 2000-2063 to identify GPIOs in a bank of I2C GPIO expanders. + +If you want to initialize a structure with an invalid GPIO number, use +some negative number (perhaps "-EINVAL"); that will never be valid. To +test if such number from such a structure could reference a GPIO, you +may use this predicate: + + int gpio_is_valid(int number); + +A number that's not valid will be rejected by calls which may request +or free GPIOs (see below). Other numbers may also be rejected; for +example, a number might be valid but temporarily unused on a given board. + +Whether a platform supports multiple GPIO controllers is a platform-specific +implementation issue, as are whether that support can leave "holes" in the space +of GPIO numbers, and whether new controllers can be added at runtime. Such issues +can affect things including whether adjacent GPIO numbers are both valid. + +Using GPIOs +----------- +The first thing a system should do with a GPIO is allocate it, using +the gpio_request() call; see later. + +One of the next things to do with a GPIO, often in board setup code when +setting up a platform_device using the GPIO, is mark its direction:: + + /* set as input or output, returning 0 or negative errno */ + int gpio_direction_input(unsigned gpio); + int gpio_direction_output(unsigned gpio, int value); + +The return value is zero for success, else a negative errno. It should +be checked, since the get/set calls don't have error returns and since +misconfiguration is possible. You should normally issue these calls from +a task context. However, for spinlock-safe GPIOs it's OK to use them +before tasking is enabled, as part of early board setup. + +For output GPIOs, the value provided becomes the initial output value. +This helps avoid signal glitching during system startup. + +For compatibility with legacy interfaces to GPIOs, setting the direction +of a GPIO implicitly requests that GPIO (see below) if it has not been +requested already. That compatibility is being removed from the optional +gpiolib framework. + +Setting the direction can fail if the GPIO number is invalid, or when +that particular GPIO can't be used in that mode. It's generally a bad +idea to rely on boot firmware to have set the direction correctly, since +it probably wasn't validated to do more than boot Linux. (Similarly, +that board setup code probably needs to multiplex that pin as a GPIO, +and configure pullups/pulldowns appropriately.) + + +Spinlock-Safe GPIO access +------------------------- +Most GPIO controllers can be accessed with memory read/write instructions. +Those don't need to sleep, and can safely be done from inside hard +(nonthreaded) IRQ handlers and similar contexts. + +Use the following calls to access such GPIOs, +for which gpio_cansleep() will always return false (see below):: + + /* GPIO INPUT: return zero or nonzero */ + int gpio_get_value(unsigned gpio); + + /* GPIO OUTPUT */ + void gpio_set_value(unsigned gpio, int value); + +The values are boolean, zero for low, nonzero for high. When reading the +value of an output pin, the value returned should be what's seen on the +pin ... that won't always match the specified output value, because of +issues including open-drain signaling and output latencies. + +The get/set calls have no error returns because "invalid GPIO" should have +been reported earlier from gpio_direction_*(). However, note that not all +platforms can read the value of output pins; those that can't should always +return zero. Also, using these calls for GPIOs that can't safely be accessed +without sleeping (see below) is an error. + +Platform-specific implementations are encouraged to optimize the two +calls to access the GPIO value in cases where the GPIO number (and for +output, value) are constant. It's normal for them to need only a couple +of instructions in such cases (reading or writing a hardware register), +and not to need spinlocks. Such optimized calls can make bitbanging +applications a lot more efficient (in both space and time) than spending +dozens of instructions on subroutine calls. + + +GPIO access that may sleep +-------------------------- +Some GPIO controllers must be accessed using message based busses like I2C +or SPI. Commands to read or write those GPIO values require waiting to +get to the head of a queue to transmit a command and get its response. +This requires sleeping, which can't be done from inside IRQ handlers. + +Platforms that support this type of GPIO distinguish them from other GPIOs +by returning nonzero from this call (which requires a valid GPIO number, +which should have been previously allocated with gpio_request):: + + int gpio_cansleep(unsigned gpio); + +To access such GPIOs, a different set of accessors is defined:: + + /* GPIO INPUT: return zero or nonzero, might sleep */ + int gpio_get_value_cansleep(unsigned gpio); + + /* GPIO OUTPUT, might sleep */ + void gpio_set_value_cansleep(unsigned gpio, int value); + + +Accessing such GPIOs requires a context which may sleep, for example +a threaded IRQ handler, and those accessors must be used instead of +spinlock-safe accessors without the cansleep() name suffix. + +Other than the fact that these accessors might sleep, and will work +on GPIOs that can't be accessed from hardIRQ handlers, these calls act +the same as the spinlock-safe calls. + +**IN ADDITION** calls to setup and configure such GPIOs must be made +from contexts which may sleep, since they may need to access the GPIO +controller chip too (These setup calls are usually made from board +setup or driver probe/teardown code, so this is an easy constraint.):: + + gpio_direction_input() + gpio_direction_output() + gpio_request() + + ## gpio_request_one() + ## gpio_request_array() + ## gpio_free_array() + + gpio_free() + gpio_set_debounce() + + + +Claiming and Releasing GPIOs +---------------------------- +To help catch system configuration errors, two calls are defined:: + + /* request GPIO, returning 0 or negative errno. + * non-null labels may be useful for diagnostics. + */ + int gpio_request(unsigned gpio, const char *label); + + /* release previously-claimed GPIO */ + void gpio_free(unsigned gpio); + +Passing invalid GPIO numbers to gpio_request() will fail, as will requesting +GPIOs that have already been claimed with that call. The return value of +gpio_request() must be checked. You should normally issue these calls from +a task context. However, for spinlock-safe GPIOs it's OK to request GPIOs +before tasking is enabled, as part of early board setup. + +These calls serve two basic purposes. One is marking the signals which +are actually in use as GPIOs, for better diagnostics; systems may have +several hundred potential GPIOs, but often only a dozen are used on any +given board. Another is to catch conflicts, identifying errors when +(a) two or more drivers wrongly think they have exclusive use of that +signal, or (b) something wrongly believes it's safe to remove drivers +needed to manage a signal that's in active use. That is, requesting a +GPIO can serve as a kind of lock. + +Some platforms may also use knowledge about what GPIOs are active for +power management, such as by powering down unused chip sectors and, more +easily, gating off unused clocks. + +For GPIOs that use pins known to the pinctrl subsystem, that subsystem should +be informed of their use; a gpiolib driver's .request() operation may call +pinctrl_gpio_request(), and a gpiolib driver's .free() operation may call +pinctrl_gpio_free(). The pinctrl subsystem allows a pinctrl_gpio_request() +to succeed concurrently with a pin or pingroup being "owned" by a device for +pin multiplexing. + +Any programming of pin multiplexing hardware that is needed to route the +GPIO signal to the appropriate pin should occur within a GPIO driver's +.direction_input() or .direction_output() operations, and occur after any +setup of an output GPIO's value. This allows a glitch-free migration from a +pin's special function to GPIO. This is sometimes required when using a GPIO +to implement a workaround on signals typically driven by a non-GPIO HW block. + +Some platforms allow some or all GPIO signals to be routed to different pins. +Similarly, other aspects of the GPIO or pin may need to be configured, such as +pullup/pulldown. Platform software should arrange that any such details are +configured prior to gpio_request() being called for those GPIOs, e.g. using +the pinctrl subsystem's mapping table, so that GPIO users need not be aware +of these details. + +Also note that it's your responsibility to have stopped using a GPIO +before you free it. + +Considering in most cases GPIOs are actually configured right after they +are claimed, three additional calls are defined:: + + /* request a single GPIO, with initial configuration specified by + * 'flags', identical to gpio_request() wrt other arguments and + * return value + */ + int gpio_request_one(unsigned gpio, unsigned long flags, const char *label); + + /* request multiple GPIOs in a single call + */ + int gpio_request_array(struct gpio *array, size_t num); + + /* release multiple GPIOs in a single call + */ + void gpio_free_array(struct gpio *array, size_t num); + +where 'flags' is currently defined to specify the following properties: + + * GPIOF_DIR_IN - to configure direction as input + * GPIOF_DIR_OUT - to configure direction as output + + * GPIOF_INIT_LOW - as output, set initial level to LOW + * GPIOF_INIT_HIGH - as output, set initial level to HIGH + * GPIOF_OPEN_DRAIN - gpio pin is open drain type. + * GPIOF_OPEN_SOURCE - gpio pin is open source type. + + * GPIOF_EXPORT_DIR_FIXED - export gpio to sysfs, keep direction + * GPIOF_EXPORT_DIR_CHANGEABLE - also export, allow changing direction + +since GPIOF_INIT_* are only valid when configured as output, so group valid +combinations as: + + * GPIOF_IN - configure as input + * GPIOF_OUT_INIT_LOW - configured as output, initial level LOW + * GPIOF_OUT_INIT_HIGH - configured as output, initial level HIGH + +When setting the flag as GPIOF_OPEN_DRAIN then it will assume that pins is +open drain type. Such pins will not be driven to 1 in output mode. It is +require to connect pull-up on such pins. By enabling this flag, gpio lib will +make the direction to input when it is asked to set value of 1 in output mode +to make the pin HIGH. The pin is make to LOW by driving value 0 in output mode. + +When setting the flag as GPIOF_OPEN_SOURCE then it will assume that pins is +open source type. Such pins will not be driven to 0 in output mode. It is +require to connect pull-down on such pin. By enabling this flag, gpio lib will +make the direction to input when it is asked to set value of 0 in output mode +to make the pin LOW. The pin is make to HIGH by driving value 1 in output mode. + +In the future, these flags can be extended to support more properties. + +Further more, to ease the claim/release of multiple GPIOs, 'struct gpio' is +introduced to encapsulate all three fields as:: + + struct gpio { + unsigned gpio; + unsigned long flags; + const char *label; + }; + +A typical example of usage:: + + static struct gpio leds_gpios[] = { + { 32, GPIOF_OUT_INIT_HIGH, "Power LED" }, /* default to ON */ + { 33, GPIOF_OUT_INIT_LOW, "Green LED" }, /* default to OFF */ + { 34, GPIOF_OUT_INIT_LOW, "Red LED" }, /* default to OFF */ + { 35, GPIOF_OUT_INIT_LOW, "Blue LED" }, /* default to OFF */ + { ... }, + }; + + err = gpio_request_one(31, GPIOF_IN, "Reset Button"); + if (err) + ... + + err = gpio_request_array(leds_gpios, ARRAY_SIZE(leds_gpios)); + if (err) + ... + + gpio_free_array(leds_gpios, ARRAY_SIZE(leds_gpios)); + + +GPIOs mapped to IRQs +-------------------- +GPIO numbers are unsigned integers; so are IRQ numbers. These make up +two logically distinct namespaces (GPIO 0 need not use IRQ 0). You can +map between them using calls like:: + + /* map GPIO numbers to IRQ numbers */ + int gpio_to_irq(unsigned gpio); + + /* map IRQ numbers to GPIO numbers (avoid using this) */ + int irq_to_gpio(unsigned irq); + +Those return either the corresponding number in the other namespace, or +else a negative errno code if the mapping can't be done. (For example, +some GPIOs can't be used as IRQs.) It is an unchecked error to use a GPIO +number that wasn't set up as an input using gpio_direction_input(), or +to use an IRQ number that didn't originally come from gpio_to_irq(). + +These two mapping calls are expected to cost on the order of a single +addition or subtraction. They're not allowed to sleep. + +Non-error values returned from gpio_to_irq() can be passed to request_irq() +or free_irq(). They will often be stored into IRQ resources for platform +devices, by the board-specific initialization code. Note that IRQ trigger +options are part of the IRQ interface, e.g. IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING, as are +system wakeup capabilities. + +Non-error values returned from irq_to_gpio() would most commonly be used +with gpio_get_value(), for example to initialize or update driver state +when the IRQ is edge-triggered. Note that some platforms don't support +this reverse mapping, so you should avoid using it. + + +Emulating Open Drain Signals +---------------------------- +Sometimes shared signals need to use "open drain" signaling, where only the +low signal level is actually driven. (That term applies to CMOS transistors; +"open collector" is used for TTL.) A pullup resistor causes the high signal +level. This is sometimes called a "wire-AND"; or more practically, from the +negative logic (low=true) perspective this is a "wire-OR". + +One common example of an open drain signal is a shared active-low IRQ line. +Also, bidirectional data bus signals sometimes use open drain signals. + +Some GPIO controllers directly support open drain outputs; many don't. When +you need open drain signaling but your hardware doesn't directly support it, +there's a common idiom you can use to emulate it with any GPIO pin that can +be used as either an input or an output: + + LOW: gpio_direction_output(gpio, 0) ... this drives the signal + and overrides the pullup. + + HIGH: gpio_direction_input(gpio) ... this turns off the output, + so the pullup (or some other device) controls the signal. + +If you are "driving" the signal high but gpio_get_value(gpio) reports a low +value (after the appropriate rise time passes), you know some other component +is driving the shared signal low. That's not necessarily an error. As one +common example, that's how I2C clocks are stretched: a slave that needs a +slower clock delays the rising edge of SCK, and the I2C master adjusts its +signaling rate accordingly. + + +GPIO controllers and the pinctrl subsystem +------------------------------------------ + +A GPIO controller on a SOC might be tightly coupled with the pinctrl +subsystem, in the sense that the pins can be used by other functions +together with an optional gpio feature. We have already covered the +case where e.g. a GPIO controller need to reserve a pin or set the +direction of a pin by calling any of:: + + pinctrl_gpio_request() + pinctrl_gpio_free() + pinctrl_gpio_direction_input() + pinctrl_gpio_direction_output() + +But how does the pin control subsystem cross-correlate the GPIO +numbers (which are a global business) to a certain pin on a certain +pin controller? + +This is done by registering "ranges" of pins, which are essentially +cross-reference tables. These are described in +Documentation/driver-api/pin-control.rst + +While the pin allocation is totally managed by the pinctrl subsystem, +gpio (under gpiolib) is still maintained by gpio drivers. It may happen +that different pin ranges in a SoC is managed by different gpio drivers. + +This makes it logical to let gpio drivers announce their pin ranges to +the pin ctrl subsystem before it will call 'pinctrl_gpio_request' in order +to request the corresponding pin to be prepared by the pinctrl subsystem +before any gpio usage. + +For this, the gpio controller can register its pin range with pinctrl +subsystem. There are two ways of doing it currently: with or without DT. + +For with DT support refer to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/gpio.txt. + +For non-DT support, user can call gpiochip_add_pin_range() with appropriate +parameters to register a range of gpio pins with a pinctrl driver. For this +exact name string of pinctrl device has to be passed as one of the +argument to this routine. + + +What do these conventions omit? +=============================== +One of the biggest things these conventions omit is pin multiplexing, since +this is highly chip-specific and nonportable. One platform might not need +explicit multiplexing; another might have just two options for use of any +given pin; another might have eight options per pin; another might be able +to route a given GPIO to any one of several pins. (Yes, those examples all +come from systems that run Linux today.) + +Related to multiplexing is configuration and enabling of the pullups or +pulldowns integrated on some platforms. Not all platforms support them, +or support them in the same way; and any given board might use external +pullups (or pulldowns) so that the on-chip ones should not be used. +(When a circuit needs 5 kOhm, on-chip 100 kOhm resistors won't do.) +Likewise drive strength (2 mA vs 20 mA) and voltage (1.8V vs 3.3V) is a +platform-specific issue, as are models like (not) having a one-to-one +correspondence between configurable pins and GPIOs. + +There are other system-specific mechanisms that are not specified here, +like the aforementioned options for input de-glitching and wire-OR output. +Hardware may support reading or writing GPIOs in gangs, but that's usually +configuration dependent: for GPIOs sharing the same bank. (GPIOs are +commonly grouped in banks of 16 or 32, with a given SOC having several such +banks.) Some systems can trigger IRQs from output GPIOs, or read values +from pins not managed as GPIOs. Code relying on such mechanisms will +necessarily be nonportable. + +Dynamic definition of GPIOs is not currently standard; for example, as +a side effect of configuring an add-on board with some GPIO expanders. + + +GPIO implementor's framework (OPTIONAL) +======================================= +As noted earlier, there is an optional implementation framework making it +easier for platforms to support different kinds of GPIO controller using +the same programming interface. This framework is called "gpiolib". + +As a debugging aid, if debugfs is available a /sys/kernel/debug/gpio file +will be found there. That will list all the controllers registered through +this framework, and the state of the GPIOs currently in use. + + +Controller Drivers: gpio_chip +----------------------------- +In this framework each GPIO controller is packaged as a "struct gpio_chip" +with information common to each controller of that type: + + - methods to establish GPIO direction + - methods used to access GPIO values + - flag saying whether calls to its methods may sleep + - optional debugfs dump method (showing extra state like pullup config) + - label for diagnostics + +There is also per-instance data, which may come from device.platform_data: +the number of its first GPIO, and how many GPIOs it exposes. + +The code implementing a gpio_chip should support multiple instances of the +controller, possibly using the driver model. That code will configure each +gpio_chip and issue gpiochip_add(). Removing a GPIO controller should be +rare; use gpiochip_remove() when it is unavoidable. + +Most often a gpio_chip is part of an instance-specific structure with state +not exposed by the GPIO interfaces, such as addressing, power management, +and more. Chips such as codecs will have complex non-GPIO state. + +Any debugfs dump method should normally ignore signals which haven't been +requested as GPIOs. They can use gpiochip_is_requested(), which returns +either NULL or the label associated with that GPIO when it was requested. + + +Platform Support +---------------- +To force-enable this framework, a platform's Kconfig will "select" GPIOLIB, +else it is up to the user to configure support for GPIO. + +It may also provide a custom value for ARCH_NR_GPIOS, so that it better +reflects the number of GPIOs in actual use on that platform, without +wasting static table space. (It should count both built-in/SoC GPIOs and +also ones on GPIO expanders. + +If neither of these options are selected, the platform does not support +GPIOs through GPIO-lib and the code cannot be enabled by the user. + +Trivial implementations of those functions can directly use framework +code, which always dispatches through the gpio_chip:: + + #define gpio_get_value __gpio_get_value + #define gpio_set_value __gpio_set_value + #define gpio_cansleep __gpio_cansleep + +Fancier implementations could instead define those as inline functions with +logic optimizing access to specific SOC-based GPIOs. For example, if the +referenced GPIO is the constant "12", getting or setting its value could +cost as little as two or three instructions, never sleeping. When such an +optimization is not possible those calls must delegate to the framework +code, costing at least a few dozen instructions. For bitbanged I/O, such +instruction savings can be significant. + +For SOCs, platform-specific code defines and registers gpio_chip instances +for each bank of on-chip GPIOs. Those GPIOs should be numbered/labeled to +match chip vendor documentation, and directly match board schematics. They +may well start at zero and go up to a platform-specific limit. Such GPIOs +are normally integrated into platform initialization to make them always be +available, from arch_initcall() or earlier; they can often serve as IRQs. + + +Board Support +------------- +For external GPIO controllers -- such as I2C or SPI expanders, ASICs, multi +function devices, FPGAs or CPLDs -- most often board-specific code handles +registering controller devices and ensures that their drivers know what GPIO +numbers to use with gpiochip_add(). Their numbers often start right after +platform-specific GPIOs. + +For example, board setup code could create structures identifying the range +of GPIOs that chip will expose, and passes them to each GPIO expander chip +using platform_data. Then the chip driver's probe() routine could pass that +data to gpiochip_add(). + +Initialization order can be important. For example, when a device relies on +an I2C-based GPIO, its probe() routine should only be called after that GPIO +becomes available. That may mean the device should not be registered until +calls for that GPIO can work. One way to address such dependencies is for +such gpio_chip controllers to provide setup() and teardown() callbacks to +board specific code; those board specific callbacks would register devices +once all the necessary resources are available, and remove them later when +the GPIO controller device becomes unavailable. + + +Sysfs Interface for Userspace (OPTIONAL) +======================================== +Platforms which use the "gpiolib" implementors framework may choose to +configure a sysfs user interface to GPIOs. This is different from the +debugfs interface, since it provides control over GPIO direction and +value instead of just showing a gpio state summary. Plus, it could be +present on production systems without debugging support. + +Given appropriate hardware documentation for the system, userspace could +know for example that GPIO #23 controls the write protect line used to +protect boot loader segments in flash memory. System upgrade procedures +may need to temporarily remove that protection, first importing a GPIO, +then changing its output state, then updating the code before re-enabling +the write protection. In normal use, GPIO #23 would never be touched, +and the kernel would have no need to know about it. + +Again depending on appropriate hardware documentation, on some systems +userspace GPIO can be used to determine system configuration data that +standard kernels won't know about. And for some tasks, simple userspace +GPIO drivers could be all that the system really needs. + +Note that standard kernel drivers exist for common "LEDs and Buttons" +GPIO tasks: "leds-gpio" and "gpio_keys", respectively. Use those +instead of talking directly to the GPIOs; they integrate with kernel +frameworks better than your userspace code could. + + +Paths in Sysfs +-------------- +There are three kinds of entry in /sys/class/gpio: + + - Control interfaces used to get userspace control over GPIOs; + + - GPIOs themselves; and + + - GPIO controllers ("gpio_chip" instances). + +That's in addition to standard files including the "device" symlink. + +The control interfaces are write-only: + + /sys/class/gpio/ + + "export" ... Userspace may ask the kernel to export control of + a GPIO to userspace by writing its number to this file. + + Example: "echo 19 > export" will create a "gpio19" node + for GPIO #19, if that's not requested by kernel code. + + "unexport" ... Reverses the effect of exporting to userspace. + + Example: "echo 19 > unexport" will remove a "gpio19" + node exported using the "export" file. + +GPIO signals have paths like /sys/class/gpio/gpio42/ (for GPIO #42) +and have the following read/write attributes: + + /sys/class/gpio/gpioN/ + + "direction" ... reads as either "in" or "out". This value may + normally be written. Writing as "out" defaults to + initializing the value as low. To ensure glitch free + operation, values "low" and "high" may be written to + configure the GPIO as an output with that initial value. + + Note that this attribute *will not exist* if the kernel + doesn't support changing the direction of a GPIO, or + it was exported by kernel code that didn't explicitly + allow userspace to reconfigure this GPIO's direction. + + "value" ... reads as either 0 (low) or 1 (high). If the GPIO + is configured as an output, this value may be written; + any nonzero value is treated as high. + + If the pin can be configured as interrupt-generating interrupt + and if it has been configured to generate interrupts (see the + description of "edge"), you can poll(2) on that file and + poll(2) will return whenever the interrupt was triggered. If + you use poll(2), set the events POLLPRI. If you use select(2), + set the file descriptor in exceptfds. After poll(2) returns, + either lseek(2) to the beginning of the sysfs file and read the + new value or close the file and re-open it to read the value. + + "edge" ... reads as either "none", "rising", "falling", or + "both". Write these strings to select the signal edge(s) + that will make poll(2) on the "value" file return. + + This file exists only if the pin can be configured as an + interrupt generating input pin. + + "active_low" ... reads as either 0 (false) or 1 (true). Write + any nonzero value to invert the value attribute both + for reading and writing. Existing and subsequent + poll(2) support configuration via the edge attribute + for "rising" and "falling" edges will follow this + setting. + +GPIO controllers have paths like /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip42/ (for the +controller implementing GPIOs starting at #42) and have the following +read-only attributes: + + /sys/class/gpio/gpiochipN/ + + "base" ... same as N, the first GPIO managed by this chip + + "label" ... provided for diagnostics (not always unique) + + "ngpio" ... how many GPIOs this manges (N to N + ngpio - 1) + +Board documentation should in most cases cover what GPIOs are used for +what purposes. However, those numbers are not always stable; GPIOs on +a daughtercard might be different depending on the base board being used, +or other cards in the stack. In such cases, you may need to use the +gpiochip nodes (possibly in conjunction with schematics) to determine +the correct GPIO number to use for a given signal. + + +Exporting from Kernel code +-------------------------- +Kernel code can explicitly manage exports of GPIOs which have already been +requested using gpio_request():: + + /* export the GPIO to userspace */ + int gpio_export(unsigned gpio, bool direction_may_change); + + /* reverse gpio_export() */ + void gpio_unexport(); + + /* create a sysfs link to an exported GPIO node */ + int gpio_export_link(struct device *dev, const char *name, + unsigned gpio) + +After a kernel driver requests a GPIO, it may only be made available in +the sysfs interface by gpio_export(). The driver can control whether the +signal direction may change. This helps drivers prevent userspace code +from accidentally clobbering important system state. + +This explicit exporting can help with debugging (by making some kinds +of experiments easier), or can provide an always-there interface that's +suitable for documenting as part of a board support package. + +After the GPIO has been exported, gpio_export_link() allows creating +symlinks from elsewhere in sysfs to the GPIO sysfs node. Drivers can +use this to provide the interface under their own device in sysfs with +a descriptive name. + + +API Reference +============= + +The functions listed in this section are deprecated.

If you need more information, please refer to the MIPI +I3C specification (can be downloaded here +https://resources.mipi.org/mipi-i3c-v1-download). + +Introduction +============ + +The I3C (pronounced 'eye-three-see') is a MIPI standardized protocol designed +to overcome I2C limitations (limited speed, external signals needed for +interrupts, no automatic detection of the devices connected to the bus, ...) +while remaining power-efficient. + +I3C Bus +======= + +An I3C bus is made of several I3C devices and possibly some I2C devices as +well, but let's focus on I3C devices for now. + +An I3C device on the I3C bus can have one of the following roles: + +* Master: the device is driving the bus. It's the one in charge of initiating + transactions or deciding who is allowed to talk on the bus (slave generated + events are possible in I3C, see below). +* Slave: the device acts as a slave, and is not able to send frames to another + slave on the bus. The device can still send events to the master on + its own initiative if the master allowed it. + +I3C is a multi-master protocol, so there might be several masters on a bus, +though only one device can act as a master at a given time. In order to gain +bus ownership, a master has to follow a specific procedure. + +Each device on the I3C bus has to be assigned a dynamic address to be able to +communicate. Until this is done, the device should only respond to a limited +set of commands. If it has a static address (also called legacy I2C address), +the device can reply to I2C transfers. + +In addition to these per-device addresses, the protocol defines a broadcast +address in order to address all devices on the bus. + +Once a dynamic address has been assigned to a device, this address will be used +for any direct communication with the device. Note that even after being +assigned a dynamic address, the device should still process broadcast messages. + +I3C Device discovery +==================== + +The I3C protocol defines a mechanism to automatically discover devices present +on the bus, their capabilities and the functionalities they provide. In this +regard I3C is closer to a discoverable bus like USB than it is to I2C or SPI. + +The discovery mechanism is called DAA (Dynamic Address Assignment), because it +not only discovers devices but also assigns them a dynamic address. + +During DAA, each I3C device reports 3 important things: + +* BCR: Bus Characteristic Register. This 8-bit register describes the device bus + related capabilities +* DCR: Device Characteristic Register. This 8-bit register describes the + functionalities provided by the device +* Provisional ID: A 48-bit unique identifier. On a given bus there should be no + Provisional ID collision, otherwise the discovery mechanism may fail. + +I3C slave events +================ + +The I3C protocol allows slaves to generate events on their own, and thus allows +them to take temporary control of the bus. + +This mechanism is called IBI for In Band Interrupts, and as stated in the name, +it allows devices to generate interrupts without requiring an external signal. + +During DAA, each device on the bus has been assigned an address, and this +address will serve as a priority identifier to determine who wins if 2 different +devices are generating an interrupt at the same moment on the bus (the lower the +dynamic address the higher the priority). + +Masters are allowed to inhibit interrupts if they want to. This inhibition +request can be broadcast (applies to all devices) or sent to a specific +device. + +I3C Hot-Join +============ + +The Hot-Join mechanism is similar to USB hotplug. This mechanism allows +slaves to join the bus after it has been initialized by the master. + +This covers the following use cases: + +* the device is not powered when the bus is probed +* the device is hotplugged on the bus through an extension board + +This mechanism is relying on slave events to inform the master that a new +device joined the bus and is waiting for a dynamic address. + +The master is then free to address the request as it wishes: ignore it or +assign a dynamic address to the slave. + +I3C transfer types +================== + +If you omit SMBus (which is just a standardization on how to access registers +exposed by I2C devices), I2C has only one transfer type. + +I3C defines 3 different classes of transfer in addition to I2C transfers which +are here for backward compatibility with I2C devices. + +I3C CCC commands +---------------- + +CCC (Common Command Code) commands are meant to be used for anything that is +related to bus management and all features that are common to a set of devices. + +CCC commands contain an 8-bit CCC ID describing the command that is executed. +The MSB of this ID specifies whether this is a broadcast command (bit7 = 0) or a +unicast one (bit7 = 1). + +The command ID can be followed by a payload. Depending on the command, this +payload is either sent by the master sending the command (write CCC command), +or sent by the slave receiving the command (read CCC command). Of course, read +accesses only apply to unicast commands. +Note that, when sending a CCC command to a specific device, the device address +is passed in the first byte of the payload. + +The payload length is not explicitly passed on the bus, and should be extracted +from the CCC ID. + +Note that vendors can use a dedicated range of CCC IDs for their own commands +(0x61-0x7f and 0xe0-0xef). + +I3C Private SDR transfers +------------------------- + +Private SDR (Single Data Rate) transfers should be used for anything that is +device specific and does not require high transfer speed. + +It is the equivalent of I2C transfers but in the I3C world. Each transfer is +passed the device address (dynamic address assigned during DAA), a payload +and a direction. + +The only difference with I2C is that the transfer is much faster (typical clock +frequency is 12.5MHz). + +I3C HDR commands +---------------- + +HDR commands should be used for anything that is device specific and requires +high transfer speed. + +The first thing attached to an HDR command is the HDR mode. There are currently +3 different modes defined by the I3C specification (refer to the specification +for more details): + +* HDR-DDR: Double Data Rate mode +* HDR-TSP: Ternary Symbol Pure. Only usable on busses with no I2C devices +* HDR-TSL: Ternary Symbol Legacy. Usable on busses with I2C devices + +When sending an HDR command, the whole bus has to enter HDR mode, which is done +using a broadcast CCC command. +Once the bus has entered a specific HDR mode, the master sends the HDR command. +An HDR command is made of: + +* one 16-bits command word in big endian +* N 16-bits data words in big endian + +Those words may be wrapped with specific preambles/post-ambles which depend on +the chosen HDR mode and are detailed here (see the specification for more +details). + +The 16-bits command word is made of: + +* bit[15]: direction bit, read is 1, write is 0 +* bit[14:8]: command code. Identifies the command being executed, the amount of + data words and their meaning +* bit[7:1]: I3C address of the device this command is addressed to +* bit[0]: reserved/parity-bit + +Backward compatibility with I2C devices +======================================= + +The I3C protocol has been designed to be backward compatible with I2C devices. +This backward compatibility allows one to connect a mix of I2C and I3C devices +on the same bus, though, in order to be really efficient, I2C devices should +be equipped with 50 ns spike filters. + +I2C devices can't be discovered like I3C ones and have to be statically +declared. In order to let the master know what these devices are capable of +(both in terms of bus related limitations and functionalities), the software +has to provide some information, which is done through the LVR (Legacy I2C +Virtual Register). diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/iio/buffers.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/iio/buffers.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..e83026aeb --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/iio/buffers.rst @@ -0,0 +1,126 @@ +======= +Buffers +======= + +* struct iio_buffer — general buffer structure +* :c:func:`iio_validate_scan_mask_onehot` — Validates that exactly one channel + is selected +* :c:func:`iio_buffer_get` — Grab a reference to the buffer +* :c:func:`iio_buffer_put` — Release the reference to the buffer + +The Industrial I/O core offers a way for continuous data capture based on a +trigger source.

For device with +index X, attributes can be found under /sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/ directory. +Common attributes are: + +* :file:`name`, description of the physical chip. +* :file:`dev`, shows the major:minor pair associated with + :file:`/dev/iio:deviceX` node. +* :file:`sampling_frequency_available`, available discrete set of sampling + frequency values for device. +* Available standard attributes for IIO devices are described in the + :file:`Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio` file in the Linux kernel + sources. + +IIO device channels +=================== + +struct iio_chan_spec - specification of a single channel + +An IIO device channel is a representation of a data channel. An IIO device can +have one or multiple channels. For example: + +* a thermometer sensor has one channel representing the temperature measurement. +* a light sensor with two channels indicating the measurements in the visible + and infrared spectrum. +* an accelerometer can have up to 3 channels representing acceleration on X, Y + and Z axes. + +An IIO channel is described by the struct iio_chan_spec. +A thermometer driver for the temperature sensor in the example above would +have to describe its channel as follows:: + + static const struct iio_chan_spec temp_channel[] = { + { + .type = IIO_TEMP, + .info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED), + }, + }; + +Channel sysfs attributes exposed to userspace are specified in the form of +bitmasks. Depending on their shared info, attributes can be set in one of the +following masks: + +* **info_mask_separate**, attributes will be specific to + this channel +* **info_mask_shared_by_type**, attributes are shared by all channels of the + same type +* **info_mask_shared_by_dir**, attributes are shared by all channels of the same + direction +* **info_mask_shared_by_all**, attributes are shared by all channels + +When there are multiple data channels per channel type we have two ways to +distinguish between them: + +* set **.modified** field of :c:type:`iio_chan_spec` to 1. Modifiers are + specified using **.channel2** field of the same :c:type:`iio_chan_spec` + structure and are used to indicate a physically unique characteristic of the + channel such as its direction or spectral response. For example, a light + sensor can have two channels, one for infrared light and one for both + infrared and visible light. +* set **.indexed** field of :c:type:`iio_chan_spec` to 1. In this case the + channel is simply another instance with an index specified by the **.channel** + field. + +Here is how we can make use of the channel's modifiers:: + + static const struct iio_chan_spec light_channels[] = { + { + .type = IIO_INTENSITY, + .modified = 1, + .channel2 = IIO_MOD_LIGHT_IR, + .info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW), + .info_mask_shared = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ), + }, + { + .type = IIO_INTENSITY, + .modified = 1, + .channel2 = IIO_MOD_LIGHT_BOTH, + .info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW), + .info_mask_shared = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ), + }, + { + .type = IIO_LIGHT, + .info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED), + .info_mask_shared = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ), + }, + } + +This channel's definition will generate two separate sysfs files for raw data +retrieval: + +* :file:`/sys/bus/iio/iio:device{X}/in_intensity_ir_raw` +* :file:`/sys/bus/iio/iio:device{X}/in_intensity_both_raw` + +one file for processed data: + +* :file:`/sys/bus/iio/iio:device{X}/in_illuminance_input` + +and one shared sysfs file for sampling frequency: + +* :file:`/sys/bus/iio/iio:device{X}/sampling_frequency`. + +Here is how we can make use of the channel's indexing:: + + static const struct iio_chan_spec light_channels[] = { + { + .type = IIO_VOLTAGE, + .indexed = 1, + .channel = 0, + .info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW), + }, + { + .type = IIO_VOLTAGE, + .indexed = 1, + .channel = 1, + .info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW), + }, + } + +This will generate two separate attributes files for raw data retrieval: + +* :file:`/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device{X}/in_voltage0_raw`, representing + voltage measurement for channel 0. +* :file:`/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device{X}/in_voltage1_raw`, representing + voltage measurement for channel 1. + +More details +============ +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/iio/iio.h +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c + :export: diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/iio/hw-consumer.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/iio/hw-consumer.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..76133a379 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/iio/hw-consumer.rst @@ -0,0 +1,50 @@ +=========== +HW consumer +=========== +An IIO device can be directly connected to another device in hardware.

It is flexible and easily extended by adding new +commands and can be passed through character devices, block devices as +well as sockets and other special file descriptors. + +However, it is also very easy to get ioctl command definitions wrong, +and hard to fix them later without breaking existing applications, +so this documentation tries to help developers get it right. + +Command number definitions +========================== + +The command number, or request number, is the second argument passed to +the ioctl system call. While this can be any 32-bit number that uniquely +identifies an action for a particular driver, there are a number of +conventions around defining them. + +``include/uapi/asm-generic/ioctl.h`` provides four macros for defining +ioctl commands that follow modern conventions: ``_IO``, ``_IOR``, +``_IOW``, and ``_IOWR``. These should be used for all new commands, +with the correct parameters: + +_IO/_IOR/_IOW/_IOWR + The macro name specifies how the argument will be used. It may be a + pointer to data to be passed into the kernel (_IOW), out of the kernel + (_IOR), or both (_IOWR). _IO can indicate either commands with no + argument or those passing an integer value instead of a pointer. + It is recommended to only use _IO for commands without arguments, + and use pointers for passing data. + +type + An 8-bit number, often a character literal, specific to a subsystem + or driver, and listed in Documentation/userspace-api/ioctl/ioctl-number.rst + +nr + An 8-bit number identifying the specific command, unique for a give + value of 'type' + +data_type + The name of the data type pointed to by the argument, the command number + encodes the ``sizeof(data_type)`` value in a 13-bit or 14-bit integer, + leading to a limit of 8191 bytes for the maximum size of the argument. + Note: do not pass sizeof(data_type) type into _IOR/_IOW/IOWR, as that + will lead to encoding sizeof(sizeof(data_type)), i.e. sizeof(size_t). + _IO does not have a data_type parameter. + + +Interface versions +================== + +Some subsystems use version numbers in data structures to overload +commands with different interpretations of the argument. + +This is generally a bad idea, since changes to existing commands tend +to break existing applications. + +A better approach is to add a new ioctl command with a new number. The +old command still needs to be implemented in the kernel for compatibility, +but this can be a wrapper around the new implementation. + +Return code +=========== + +ioctl commands can return negative error codes as documented in errno(3); +these get turned into errno values in user space. On success, the return +code should be zero. It is also possible but not recommended to return +a positive 'long' value. + +When the ioctl callback is called with an unknown command number, the +handler returns either -ENOTTY or -ENOIOCTLCMD, which also results in +-ENOTTY being returned from the system call. Some subsystems return +-ENOSYS or -EINVAL here for historic reasons, but this is wrong. + +Prior to Linux 5.5, compat_ioctl handlers were required to return +-ENOIOCTLCMD in order to use the fallback conversion into native +commands. As all subsystems are now responsible for handling compat +mode themselves, this is no longer needed, but it may be important to +consider when backporting bug fixes to older kernels. + +Timestamps +========== + +Traditionally, timestamps and timeout values are passed as ``struct +timespec`` or ``struct timeval``, but these are problematic because of +incompatible definitions of these structures in user space after the +move to 64-bit time_t. + +The ``struct __kernel_timespec`` type can be used instead to be embedded +in other data structures when separate second/nanosecond values are +desired, or passed to user space directly. This is still not ideal though, +as the structure matches neither the kernel's timespec64 nor the user +space timespec exactly. The get_timespec64() and put_timespec64() helper +functions can be used to ensure that the layout remains compatible with +user space and the padding is treated correctly. + +As it is cheap to convert seconds to nanoseconds, but the opposite +requires an expensive 64-bit division, a simple __u64 nanosecond value +can be simpler and more efficient. + +Timeout values and timestamps should ideally use CLOCK_MONOTONIC time, +as returned by ktime_get_ns() or ktime_get_ts64(). Unlike +CLOCK_REALTIME, this makes the timestamps immune from jumping backwards +or forwards due to leap second adjustments and clock_settime() calls. + +ktime_get_real_ns() can be used for CLOCK_REALTIME timestamps that +need to be persistent across a reboot or between multiple machines. + +32-bit compat mode +================== + +In order to support 32-bit user space running on a 64-bit machine, each +subsystem or driver that implements an ioctl callback handler must also +implement the corresponding compat_ioctl handler. + +As long as all the rules for data structures are followed, this is as +easy as setting the .compat_ioctl pointer to a helper function such as +compat_ptr_ioctl() or blkdev_compat_ptr_ioctl(). + +compat_ptr() +------------ + +On the s390 architecture, 31-bit user space has ambiguous representations +for data pointers, with the upper bit being ignored. When running such +a process in compat mode, the compat_ptr() helper must be used to +clear the upper bit of a compat_uptr_t and turn it into a valid 64-bit +pointer. On other architectures, this macro only performs a cast to a +``void __user *`` pointer. + +In an compat_ioctl() callback, the last argument is an unsigned long, +which can be interpreted as either a pointer or a scalar depending on +the command. If it is a scalar, then compat_ptr() must not be used, to +ensure that the 64-bit kernel behaves the same way as a 32-bit kernel +for arguments with the upper bit set. + +The compat_ptr_ioctl() helper can be used in place of a custom +compat_ioctl file operation for drivers that only take arguments that +are pointers to compatible data structures. + +Structure layout +---------------- + +Compatible data structures have the same layout on all architectures, +avoiding all problematic members: + +* ``long`` and ``unsigned long`` are the size of a register, so + they can be either 32-bit or 64-bit wide and cannot be used in portable + data structures. Fixed-length replacements are ``__s32``, ``__u32``, + ``__s64`` and ``__u64``. + +* Pointers have the same problem, in addition to requiring the + use of compat_ptr(). The best workaround is to use ``__u64`` + in place of pointers, which requires a cast to ``uintptr_t`` in user + space, and the use of u64_to_user_ptr() in the kernel to convert + it back into a user pointer. + +* On the x86-32 (i386) architecture, the alignment of 64-bit variables + is only 32-bit, but they are naturally aligned on most other + architectures including x86-64. This means a structure like:: + + struct foo { + __u32 a; + __u64 b; + __u32 c; + }; + + has four bytes of padding between a and b on x86-64, plus another four + bytes of padding at the end, but no padding on i386, and it needs a + compat_ioctl conversion handler to translate between the two formats. + + To avoid this problem, all structures should have their members + naturally aligned, or explicit reserved fields added in place of the + implicit padding. The ``pahole`` tool can be used for checking the + alignment. + +* On ARM OABI user space, structures are padded to multiples of 32-bit, + making some structs incompatible with modern EABI kernels if they + do not end on a 32-bit boundary. + +* On the m68k architecture, struct members are not guaranteed to have an + alignment greater than 16-bit, which is a problem when relying on + implicit padding. + +* Bitfields and enums generally work as one would expect them to, + but some properties of them are implementation-defined, so it is better + to avoid them completely in ioctl interfaces. + +* ``char`` members can be either signed or unsigned, depending on + the architecture, so the __u8 and __s8 types should be used for 8-bit + integer values, though char arrays are clearer for fixed-length strings. + +Information leaks +================= + +Uninitialized data must not be copied back to user space, as this can +cause an information leak, which can be used to defeat kernel address +space layout randomization (KASLR), helping in an attack. + +For this reason (and for compat support) it is best to avoid any +implicit padding in data structures. Where there is implicit padding +in an existing structure, kernel drivers must be careful to fully +initialize an instance of the structure before copying it to user +space. This is usually done by calling memset() before assigning to +individual members. + +Subsystem abstractions +====================== + +While some device drivers implement their own ioctl function, most +subsystems implement the same command for multiple drivers. Ideally the +subsystem has an .ioctl() handler that copies the arguments from and +to user space, passing them into subsystem specific callback functions +through normal kernel pointers. + +This helps in various ways: + +* Applications written for one driver are more likely to work for + another one in the same subsystem if there are no subtle differences + in the user space ABI. + +* The complexity of user space access and data structure layout is done + in one place, reducing the potential for implementation bugs. + +* It is more likely to be reviewed by experienced developers + that can spot problems in the interface when the ioctl is shared + between multiple drivers than when it is only used in a single driver. + +Alternatives to ioctl +===================== + +There are many cases in which ioctl is not the best solution for a +problem. Alternatives include: + +* System calls are a better choice for a system-wide feature that + is not tied to a physical device or constrained by the file system + permissions of a character device node + +* netlink is the preferred way of configuring any network related + objects through sockets. + +* debugfs is used for ad-hoc interfaces for debugging functionality + that does not need to be exposed as a stable interface to applications. + +* sysfs is a good way to expose the state of an in-kernel object + that is not tied to a file descriptor. + +* configfs can be used for more complex configuration than sysfs + +* A custom file system can provide extra flexibility with a simple + user interface but adds a lot of complexity to the implementation. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/ipmb.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/ipmb.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..209c49e05 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/ipmb.rst @@ -0,0 +1,109 @@ +============================== +IPMB Driver for a Satellite MC +============================== + +The Intelligent Platform Management Bus or IPMB, is an +I2C bus that provides a standardized interconnection between +different boards within a chassis.

It also has a +standardized database for field-replaceable units (FRUs) and a watchdog +timer. + +To use this, you need an interface to an IPMI controller in your +system (called a Baseboard Management Controller, or BMC) and +management software that can use the IPMI system. + +This document describes how to use the IPMI driver for Linux. If you +are not familiar with IPMI itself, see the web site at +https://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/index.htm. IPMI is a big +subject and I can't cover it all here! + +Configuration +------------- + +The Linux IPMI driver is modular, which means you have to pick several +things to have it work right depending on your hardware. Most of +these are available in the 'Character Devices' menu then the IPMI +menu. + +No matter what, you must pick 'IPMI top-level message handler' to use +IPMI. What you do beyond that depends on your needs and hardware. + +The message handler does not provide any user-level interfaces. +Kernel code (like the watchdog) can still use it. If you need access +from userland, you need to select 'Device interface for IPMI' if you +want access through a device driver. + +The driver interface depends on your hardware. If your system +properly provides the SMBIOS info for IPMI, the driver will detect it +and just work. If you have a board with a standard interface (These +will generally be either "KCS", "SMIC", or "BT", consult your hardware +manual), choose the 'IPMI SI handler' option. A driver also exists +for direct I2C access to the IPMI management controller. Some boards +support this, but it is unknown if it will work on every board. For +this, choose 'IPMI SMBus handler', but be ready to try to do some +figuring to see if it will work on your system if the SMBIOS/APCI +information is wrong or not present. It is fairly safe to have both +these enabled and let the drivers auto-detect what is present. + +You should generally enable ACPI on your system, as systems with IPMI +can have ACPI tables describing them. + +If you have a standard interface and the board manufacturer has done +their job correctly, the IPMI controller should be automatically +detected (via ACPI or SMBIOS tables) and should just work. Sadly, +many boards do not have this information. The driver attempts +standard defaults, but they may not work. If you fall into this +situation, you need to read the section below named 'The SI Driver' or +"The SMBus Driver" on how to hand-configure your system. + +IPMI defines a standard watchdog timer. You can enable this with the +'IPMI Watchdog Timer' config option. If you compile the driver into +the kernel, then via a kernel command-line option you can have the +watchdog timer start as soon as it initializes. It also have a lot +of other options, see the 'Watchdog' section below for more details. +Note that you can also have the watchdog continue to run if it is +closed (by default it is disabled on close). Go into the 'Watchdog +Cards' menu, enable 'Watchdog Timer Support', and enable the option +'Disable watchdog shutdown on close'. + +IPMI systems can often be powered off using IPMI commands. Select +'IPMI Poweroff' to do this. The driver will auto-detect if the system +can be powered off by IPMI. It is safe to enable this even if your +system doesn't support this option. This works on ATCA systems, the +Radisys CPI1 card, and any IPMI system that supports standard chassis +management commands. + +If you want the driver to put an event into the event log on a panic, +enable the 'Generate a panic event to all BMCs on a panic' option. If +you want the whole panic string put into the event log using OEM +events, enable the 'Generate OEM events containing the panic string' +option. You can also enable these dynamically by setting the module +parameter named "panic_op" in the ipmi_msghandler module to "event" +or "string". Setting that parameter to "none" disables this function. + +Basic Design +------------ + +The Linux IPMI driver is designed to be very modular and flexible, you +only need to take the pieces you need and you can use it in many +different ways. Because of that, it's broken into many chunks of +code. These chunks (by module name) are: + +ipmi_msghandler - This is the central piece of software for the IPMI +system. It handles all messages, message timing, and responses. The +IPMI users tie into this, and the IPMI physical interfaces (called +System Management Interfaces, or SMIs) also tie in here. This +provides the kernelland interface for IPMI, but does not provide an +interface for use by application processes. + +ipmi_devintf - This provides a userland IOCTL interface for the IPMI +driver, each open file for this device ties in to the message handler +as an IPMI user. + +ipmi_si - A driver for various system interfaces. This supports KCS, +SMIC, and BT interfaces. Unless you have an SMBus interface or your +own custom interface, you probably need to use this. + +ipmi_ssif - A driver for accessing BMCs on the SMBus. It uses the +I2C kernel driver's SMBus interfaces to send and receive IPMI messages +over the SMBus. + +ipmi_powernv - A driver for access BMCs on POWERNV systems. + +ipmi_watchdog - IPMI requires systems to have a very capable watchdog +timer. This driver implements the standard Linux watchdog timer +interface on top of the IPMI message handler. + +ipmi_poweroff - Some systems support the ability to be turned off via +IPMI commands. + +bt-bmc - This is not part of the main driver, but instead a driver for +accessing a BMC-side interface of a BT interface. It is used on BMCs +running Linux to provide an interface to the host. + +These are all individually selectable via configuration options. + +Much documentation for the interface is in the include files. The +IPMI include files are: + +linux/ipmi.h - Contains the user interface and IOCTL interface for IPMI. + +linux/ipmi_smi.h - Contains the interface for system management interfaces +(things that interface to IPMI controllers) to use. + +linux/ipmi_msgdefs.h - General definitions for base IPMI messaging. + + +Addressing +---------- + +The IPMI addressing works much like IP addresses, you have an overlay +to handle the different address types. The overlay is:: + + struct ipmi_addr + { + int addr_type; + short channel; + char data[IPMI_MAX_ADDR_SIZE]; + }; + +The addr_type determines what the address really is. The driver +currently understands two different types of addresses. + +"System Interface" addresses are defined as:: + + struct ipmi_system_interface_addr + { + int addr_type; + short channel; + }; + +and the type is IPMI_SYSTEM_INTERFACE_ADDR_TYPE. This is used for talking +straight to the BMC on the current card. The channel must be +IPMI_BMC_CHANNEL. + +Messages that are destined to go out on the IPMB bus going through the +BMC use the IPMI_IPMB_ADDR_TYPE address type. The format is:: + + struct ipmi_ipmb_addr + { + int addr_type; + short channel; + unsigned char slave_addr; + unsigned char lun; + }; + +The "channel" here is generally zero, but some devices support more +than one channel, it corresponds to the channel as defined in the IPMI +spec. + +There is also an IPMB direct address for a situation where the sender +is directly on an IPMB bus and doesn't have to go through the BMC. +You can send messages to a specific management controller (MC) on the +IPMB using the IPMI_IPMB_DIRECT_ADDR_TYPE with the following format:: + + struct ipmi_ipmb_direct_addr + { + int addr_type; + short channel; + unsigned char slave_addr; + unsigned char rq_lun; + unsigned char rs_lun; + }; + +The channel is always zero. You can also receive commands from other +MCs that you have registered to handle and respond to them, so you can +use this to implement a management controller on a bus.. + +Messages +-------- + +Messages are defined as:: + + struct ipmi_msg + { + unsigned char netfn; + unsigned char lun; + unsigned char cmd; + unsigned char *data; + int data_len; + }; + +The driver takes care of adding/stripping the header information. The +data portion is just the data to be send (do NOT put addressing info +here) or the response. Note that the completion code of a response is +the first item in "data", it is not stripped out because that is how +all the messages are defined in the spec (and thus makes counting the +offsets a little easier :-). + +When using the IOCTL interface from userland, you must provide a block +of data for "data", fill it, and set data_len to the length of the +block of data, even when receiving messages. Otherwise the driver +will have no place to put the message. + +Messages coming up from the message handler in kernelland will come in +as:: + + struct ipmi_recv_msg + { + struct list_head link; + + /* The type of message as defined in the "Receive Types" + defines above. */ + int recv_type; + + ipmi_user_t *user; + struct ipmi_addr addr; + long msgid; + struct ipmi_msg msg; + + /* Call this when done with the message. It will presumably free + the message and do any other necessary cleanup. */ + void (*done)(struct ipmi_recv_msg *msg); + + /* Place-holder for the data, don't make any assumptions about + the size or existence of this, since it may change. */ + unsigned char msg_data[IPMI_MAX_MSG_LENGTH]; + }; + +You should look at the receive type and handle the message +appropriately. + + +The Upper Layer Interface (Message Handler) +------------------------------------------- + +The upper layer of the interface provides the users with a consistent +view of the IPMI interfaces. It allows multiple SMI interfaces to be +addressed (because some boards actually have multiple BMCs on them) +and the user should not have to care what type of SMI is below them. + + +Watching For Interfaces +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +When your code comes up, the IPMI driver may or may not have detected +if IPMI devices exist. So you might have to defer your setup until +the device is detected, or you might be able to do it immediately. +To handle this, and to allow for discovery, you register an SMI +watcher with ipmi_smi_watcher_register() to iterate over interfaces +and tell you when they come and go. + + +Creating the User +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +To use the message handler, you must first create a user using +ipmi_create_user. The interface number specifies which SMI you want +to connect to, and you must supply callback functions to be called +when data comes in. The callback function can run at interrupt level, +so be careful using the callbacks. This also allows to you pass in a +piece of data, the handler_data, that will be passed back to you on +all calls. + +Once you are done, call ipmi_destroy_user() to get rid of the user. + +From userland, opening the device automatically creates a user, and +closing the device automatically destroys the user. + + +Messaging +^^^^^^^^^ + +To send a message from kernel-land, the ipmi_request_settime() call does +pretty much all message handling. Most of the parameter are +self-explanatory. However, it takes a "msgid" parameter. This is NOT +the sequence number of messages. It is simply a long value that is +passed back when the response for the message is returned. You may +use it for anything you like. + +Responses come back in the function pointed to by the ipmi_recv_hndl +field of the "handler" that you passed in to ipmi_create_user(). +Remember again, these may be running at interrupt level. Remember to +look at the receive type, too. + +From userland, you fill out an ipmi_req_t structure and use the +IPMICTL_SEND_COMMAND ioctl. For incoming stuff, you can use select() +or poll() to wait for messages to come in. However, you cannot use +read() to get them, you must call the IPMICTL_RECEIVE_MSG with the +ipmi_recv_t structure to actually get the message. Remember that you +must supply a pointer to a block of data in the msg.data field, and +you must fill in the msg.data_len field with the size of the data. +This gives the receiver a place to actually put the message. + +If the message cannot fit into the data you provide, you will get an +EMSGSIZE error and the driver will leave the data in the receive +queue. If you want to get it and have it truncate the message, us +the IPMICTL_RECEIVE_MSG_TRUNC ioctl. + +When you send a command (which is defined by the lowest-order bit of +the netfn per the IPMI spec) on the IPMB bus, the driver will +automatically assign the sequence number to the command and save the +command. If the response is not receive in the IPMI-specified 5 +seconds, it will generate a response automatically saying the command +timed out. If an unsolicited response comes in (if it was after 5 +seconds, for instance), that response will be ignored. + +In kernelland, after you receive a message and are done with it, you +MUST call ipmi_free_recv_msg() on it, or you will leak messages. Note +that you should NEVER mess with the "done" field of a message, that is +required to properly clean up the message. + +Note that when sending, there is an ipmi_request_supply_msgs() call +that lets you supply the smi and receive message. This is useful for +pieces of code that need to work even if the system is out of buffers +(the watchdog timer uses this, for instance). You supply your own +buffer and own free routines. This is not recommended for normal use, +though, since it is tricky to manage your own buffers. + + +Events and Incoming Commands +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The driver takes care of polling for IPMI events and receiving +commands (commands are messages that are not responses, they are +commands that other things on the IPMB bus have sent you). To receive +these, you must register for them, they will not automatically be sent +to you. + +To receive events, you must call ipmi_set_gets_events() and set the +"val" to non-zero. Any events that have been received by the driver +since startup will immediately be delivered to the first user that +registers for events. After that, if multiple users are registered +for events, they will all receive all events that come in. + +For receiving commands, you have to individually register commands you +want to receive. Call ipmi_register_for_cmd() and supply the netfn +and command name for each command you want to receive. You also +specify a bitmask of the channels you want to receive the command from +(or use IPMI_CHAN_ALL for all channels if you don't care). Only one +user may be registered for each netfn/cmd/channel, but different users +may register for different commands, or the same command if the +channel bitmasks do not overlap. + +To respond to a received command, set the response bit in the returned +netfn, use the address from the received message, and use the same +msgid that you got in the receive message. + +From userland, equivalent IOCTLs are provided to do these functions. + + +The Lower Layer (SMI) Interface +------------------------------- + +As mentioned before, multiple SMI interfaces may be registered to the +message handler, each of these is assigned an interface number when +they register with the message handler. They are generally assigned +in the order they register, although if an SMI unregisters and then +another one registers, all bets are off. + +The ipmi_smi.h defines the interface for management interfaces, see +that for more details. + + +The SI Driver +------------- + +The SI driver allows KCS, BT, and SMIC interfaces to be configured +in the system. It discovers interfaces through a host of different +methods, depending on the system. + +You can specify up to four interfaces on the module load line and +control some module parameters:: + + modprobe ipmi_si.o type=<type1>,<type2>.... + ports=<port1>,<port2>... addrs=<addr1>,<addr2>... + irqs=<irq1>,<irq2>... + regspacings=<sp1>,<sp2>,... regsizes=<size1>,<size2>,... + regshifts=<shift1>,<shift2>,... + slave_addrs=<addr1>,<addr2>,... + force_kipmid=<enable1>,<enable2>,... + kipmid_max_busy_us=<ustime1>,<ustime2>,... + unload_when_empty=[0|1] + trydmi=[0|1] tryacpi=[0|1] + tryplatform=[0|1] trypci=[0|1] + +Each of these except try... items is a list, the first item for the +first interface, second item for the second interface, etc. + +The si_type may be either "kcs", "smic", or "bt". If you leave it blank, it +defaults to "kcs". + +If you specify addrs as non-zero for an interface, the driver will +use the memory address given as the address of the device. This +overrides si_ports. + +If you specify ports as non-zero for an interface, the driver will +use the I/O port given as the device address. + +If you specify irqs as non-zero for an interface, the driver will +attempt to use the given interrupt for the device. + +The other try... items disable discovery by their corresponding +names. These are all enabled by default, set them to zero to disable +them. The tryplatform disables openfirmware. + +The next three parameters have to do with register layout. The +registers used by the interfaces may not appear at successive +locations and they may not be in 8-bit registers. These parameters +allow the layout of the data in the registers to be more precisely +specified. + +The regspacings parameter give the number of bytes between successive +register start addresses. For instance, if the regspacing is set to 4 +and the start address is 0xca2, then the address for the second +register would be 0xca6. This defaults to 1. + +The regsizes parameter gives the size of a register, in bytes. The +data used by IPMI is 8-bits wide, but it may be inside a larger +register. This parameter allows the read and write type to specified. +It may be 1, 2, 4, or 8. The default is 1. + +Since the register size may be larger than 32 bits, the IPMI data may not +be in the lower 8 bits. The regshifts parameter give the amount to shift +the data to get to the actual IPMI data. + +The slave_addrs specifies the IPMI address of the local BMC. This is +usually 0x20 and the driver defaults to that, but in case it's not, it +can be specified when the driver starts up. + +The force_ipmid parameter forcefully enables (if set to 1) or disables +(if set to 0) the kernel IPMI daemon. Normally this is auto-detected +by the driver, but systems with broken interrupts might need an enable, +or users that don't want the daemon (don't need the performance, don't +want the CPU hit) can disable it. + +If unload_when_empty is set to 1, the driver will be unloaded if it +doesn't find any interfaces or all the interfaces fail to work. The +default is one. Setting to 0 is useful with the hotmod, but is +obviously only useful for modules. + +When compiled into the kernel, the parameters can be specified on the +kernel command line as:: + + ipmi_si.type=<type1>,<type2>... + ipmi_si.ports=<port1>,<port2>... ipmi_si.addrs=<addr1>,<addr2>... + ipmi_si.irqs=<irq1>,<irq2>... + ipmi_si.regspacings=<sp1>,<sp2>,... + ipmi_si.regsizes=<size1>,<size2>,... + ipmi_si.regshifts=<shift1>,<shift2>,... + ipmi_si.slave_addrs=<addr1>,<addr2>,... + ipmi_si.force_kipmid=<enable1>,<enable2>,... + ipmi_si.kipmid_max_busy_us=<ustime1>,<ustime2>,... + +It works the same as the module parameters of the same names. + +If your IPMI interface does not support interrupts and is a KCS or +SMIC interface, the IPMI driver will start a kernel thread for the +interface to help speed things up. This is a low-priority kernel +thread that constantly polls the IPMI driver while an IPMI operation +is in progress. The force_kipmid module parameter will all the user to +force this thread on or off. If you force it off and don't have +interrupts, the driver will run VERY slowly. Don't blame me, +these interfaces suck. + +Unfortunately, this thread can use a lot of CPU depending on the +interface's performance. This can waste a lot of CPU and cause +various issues with detecting idle CPU and using extra power. To +avoid this, the kipmid_max_busy_us sets the maximum amount of time, in +microseconds, that kipmid will spin before sleeping for a tick. This +value sets a balance between performance and CPU waste and needs to be +tuned to your needs. Maybe, someday, auto-tuning will be added, but +that's not a simple thing and even the auto-tuning would need to be +tuned to the user's desired performance. + +The driver supports a hot add and remove of interfaces. This way, +interfaces can be added or removed after the kernel is up and running. +This is done using /sys/modules/ipmi_si/parameters/hotmod, which is a +write-only parameter. You write a string to this interface. The string +has the format:: + + <op1>[:op2[:op3...]] + +The "op"s are:: + + add|remove,kcs|bt|smic,mem|i/o,<address>[,<opt1>[,<opt2>[,...]]] + +You can specify more than one interface on the line. The "opt"s are:: + + rsp=<regspacing> + rsi=<regsize> + rsh=<regshift> + irq=<irq> + ipmb=<ipmb slave addr> + +and these have the same meanings as discussed above. Note that you +can also use this on the kernel command line for a more compact format +for specifying an interface. Note that when removing an interface, +only the first three parameters (si type, address type, and address) +are used for the comparison. Any options are ignored for removing. + +The SMBus Driver (SSIF) +----------------------- + +The SMBus driver allows up to 4 SMBus devices to be configured in the +system. By default, the driver will only register with something it +finds in DMI or ACPI tables. You can change this +at module load time (for a module) with:: + + modprobe ipmi_ssif.o + addr=<i2caddr1>[,<i2caddr2>[,...]] + adapter=<adapter1>[,<adapter2>[...]] + dbg=<flags1>,<flags2>... + slave_addrs=<addr1>,<addr2>,... + tryacpi=[0|1] trydmi=[0|1] + [dbg_probe=1] + alerts_broken + +The addresses are normal I2C addresses. The adapter is the string +name of the adapter, as shown in /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-<n>/name. +It is *NOT* i2c-<n> itself. Also, the comparison is done ignoring +spaces, so if the name is "This is an I2C chip" you can say +adapter_name=ThisisanI2cchip. This is because it's hard to pass in +spaces in kernel parameters. + +The debug flags are bit flags for each BMC found, they are: +IPMI messages: 1, driver state: 2, timing: 4, I2C probe: 8 + +The tryxxx parameters can be used to disable detecting interfaces +from various sources. + +Setting dbg_probe to 1 will enable debugging of the probing and +detection process for BMCs on the SMBusses. + +The slave_addrs specifies the IPMI address of the local BMC. This is +usually 0x20 and the driver defaults to that, but in case it's not, it +can be specified when the driver starts up. + +alerts_broken does not enable SMBus alert for SSIF. Otherwise SMBus +alert will be enabled on supported hardware. + +Discovering the IPMI compliant BMC on the SMBus can cause devices on +the I2C bus to fail. The SMBus driver writes a "Get Device ID" IPMI +message as a block write to the I2C bus and waits for a response. +This action can be detrimental to some I2C devices. It is highly +recommended that the known I2C address be given to the SMBus driver in +the smb_addr parameter unless you have DMI or ACPI data to tell the +driver what to use. + +When compiled into the kernel, the addresses can be specified on the +kernel command line as:: + + ipmb_ssif.addr=<i2caddr1>[,<i2caddr2>[...]] + ipmi_ssif.adapter=<adapter1>[,<adapter2>[...]] + ipmi_ssif.dbg=<flags1>[,<flags2>[...]] + ipmi_ssif.dbg_probe=1 + ipmi_ssif.slave_addrs=<addr1>[,<addr2>[...]] + ipmi_ssif.tryacpi=[0|1] ipmi_ssif.trydmi=[0|1] + +These are the same options as on the module command line. + +The I2C driver does not support non-blocking access or polling, so +this driver cannod to IPMI panic events, extend the watchdog at panic +time, or other panic-related IPMI functions without special kernel +patches and driver modifications. You can get those at the openipmi +web page. + +The driver supports a hot add and remove of interfaces through the I2C +sysfs interface. + +The IPMI IPMB Driver +-------------------- + +This driver is for supporting a system that sits on an IPMB bus; it +allows the interface to look like a normal IPMI interface. Sending +system interface addressed messages to it will cause the message to go +to the registered BMC on the system (default at IPMI address 0x20). + +It also allows you to directly address other MCs on the bus using the +ipmb direct addressing. You can receive commands from other MCs on +the bus and they will be handled through the normal received command +mechanism described above. + +Parameters are:: + + ipmi_ipmb.bmcaddr=<address to use for system interface addresses messages> + ipmi_ipmb.retry_time_ms=<Time between retries on IPMB> + ipmi_ipmb.max_retries=<Number of times to retry a message> + +Loading the module will not result in the driver automatcially +starting unless there is device tree information setting it up. If +you want to instantiate one of these by hand, do:: + + echo ipmi-ipmb <addr> > /sys/class/i2c-dev/i2c-<n>/device/new_device + +Note that the address you give here is the I2C address, not the IPMI +address. So if you want your MC address to be 0x60, you put 0x30 +here. See the I2C driver info for more details. + +Command bridging to other IPMB busses through this interface does not +work. The receive message queue is not implemented, by design. There +is only one receive message queue on a BMC, and that is meant for the +host drivers, not something on the IPMB bus. + +A BMC may have multiple IPMB busses, which bus your device sits on +depends on how the system is wired. You can fetch the channels with +"ipmitool channel info <n>" where <n> is the channel, with the +channels being 0-7 and try the IPMB channels. + +Other Pieces +------------ + +Get the detailed info related with the IPMI device +-------------------------------------------------- + +Some users need more detailed information about a device, like where +the address came from or the raw base device for the IPMI interface. +You can use the IPMI smi_watcher to catch the IPMI interfaces as they +come or go, and to grab the information, you can use the function +ipmi_get_smi_info(), which returns the following structure:: + + struct ipmi_smi_info { + enum ipmi_addr_src addr_src; + struct device *dev; + union { + struct { + void *acpi_handle; + } acpi_info; + } addr_info; + }; + +Currently special info for only for SI_ACPI address sources is +returned. Others may be added as necessary. + +Note that the dev pointer is included in the above structure, and +assuming ipmi_smi_get_info returns success, you must call put_device +on the dev pointer. + + +Watchdog +-------- + +A watchdog timer is provided that implements the Linux-standard +watchdog timer interface. It has three module parameters that can be +used to control it:: + + modprobe ipmi_watchdog timeout=<t> pretimeout=<t> action=<action type> + preaction=<preaction type> preop=<preop type> start_now=x + nowayout=x ifnum_to_use=n panic_wdt_timeout=<t> + +ifnum_to_use specifies which interface the watchdog timer should use. +The default is -1, which means to pick the first one registered. + +The timeout is the number of seconds to the action, and the pretimeout +is the amount of seconds before the reset that the pre-timeout panic will +occur (if pretimeout is zero, then pretimeout will not be enabled). Note +that the pretimeout is the time before the final timeout. So if the +timeout is 50 seconds and the pretimeout is 10 seconds, then the pretimeout +will occur in 40 second (10 seconds before the timeout). The panic_wdt_timeout +is the value of timeout which is set on kernel panic, in order to let actions +such as kdump to occur during panic. + +The action may be "reset", "power_cycle", or "power_off", and +specifies what to do when the timer times out, and defaults to +"reset". + +The preaction may be "pre_smi" for an indication through the SMI +interface, "pre_int" for an indication through the SMI with an +interrupts, and "pre_nmi" for a NMI on a preaction. This is how +the driver is informed of the pretimeout. + +The preop may be set to "preop_none" for no operation on a pretimeout, +"preop_panic" to set the preoperation to panic, or "preop_give_data" +to provide data to read from the watchdog device when the pretimeout +occurs. A "pre_nmi" setting CANNOT be used with "preop_give_data" +because you can't do data operations from an NMI. + +When preop is set to "preop_give_data", one byte comes ready to read +on the device when the pretimeout occurs. Select and fasync work on +the device, as well. + +If start_now is set to 1, the watchdog timer will start running as +soon as the driver is loaded. + +If nowayout is set to 1, the watchdog timer will not stop when the +watchdog device is closed. The default value of nowayout is true +if the CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT option is enabled, or false if not. + +When compiled into the kernel, the kernel command line is available +for configuring the watchdog:: + + ipmi_watchdog.timeout=<t> ipmi_watchdog.pretimeout=<t> + ipmi_watchdog.action=<action type> + ipmi_watchdog.preaction=<preaction type> + ipmi_watchdog.preop=<preop type> + ipmi_watchdog.start_now=x + ipmi_watchdog.nowayout=x + ipmi_watchdog.panic_wdt_timeout=<t> + +The options are the same as the module parameter options. + +The watchdog will panic and start a 120 second reset timeout if it +gets a pre-action. During a panic or a reboot, the watchdog will +start a 120 timer if it is running to make sure the reboot occurs. + +Note that if you use the NMI preaction for the watchdog, you MUST NOT +use the nmi watchdog. There is no reasonable way to tell if an NMI +comes from the IPMI controller, so it must assume that if it gets an +otherwise unhandled NMI, it must be from IPMI and it will panic +immediately. + +Once you open the watchdog timer, you must write a 'V' character to the +device to close it, or the timer will not stop. This is a new semantic +for the driver, but makes it consistent with the rest of the watchdog +drivers in Linux. + + +Panic Timeouts +-------------- + +The OpenIPMI driver supports the ability to put semi-custom and custom +events in the system event log if a panic occurs. if you enable the +'Generate a panic event to all BMCs on a panic' option, you will get +one event on a panic in a standard IPMI event format. If you enable +the 'Generate OEM events containing the panic string' option, you will +also get a bunch of OEM events holding the panic string. + + +The field settings of the events are: + +* Generator ID: 0x21 (kernel) +* EvM Rev: 0x03 (this event is formatting in IPMI 1.0 format) +* Sensor Type: 0x20 (OS critical stop sensor) +* Sensor #: The first byte of the panic string (0 if no panic string) +* Event Dir | Event Type: 0x6f (Assertion, sensor-specific event info) +* Event Data 1: 0xa1 (Runtime stop in OEM bytes 2 and 3) +* Event data 2: second byte of panic string +* Event data 3: third byte of panic string + +See the IPMI spec for the details of the event layout. This event is +always sent to the local management controller. It will handle routing +the message to the right place + +Other OEM events have the following format: + +* Record ID (bytes 0-1): Set by the SEL. +* Record type (byte 2): 0xf0 (OEM non-timestamped) +* byte 3: The slave address of the card saving the panic +* byte 4: A sequence number (starting at zero) + The rest of the bytes (11 bytes) are the panic string. If the panic string + is longer than 11 bytes, multiple messages will be sent with increasing + sequence numbers. + +Because you cannot send OEM events using the standard interface, this +function will attempt to find an SEL and add the events there. It +will first query the capabilities of the local management controller. +If it has an SEL, then they will be stored in the SEL of the local +management controller. If not, and the local management controller is +an event generator, the event receiver from the local management +controller will be queried and the events sent to the SEL on that +device. Otherwise, the events go nowhere since there is nowhere to +send them. + + +Poweroff +-------- + +If the poweroff capability is selected, the IPMI driver will install +a shutdown function into the standard poweroff function pointer. This +is in the ipmi_poweroff module. When the system requests a powerdown, +it will send the proper IPMI commands to do this. This is supported on +several platforms. + +There is a module parameter named "poweroff_powercycle" that may +either be zero (do a power down) or non-zero (do a power cycle, power +the system off, then power it on in a few seconds). Setting +ipmi_poweroff.poweroff_control=x will do the same thing on the kernel +command line. The parameter is also available via the proc filesystem +in /proc/sys/dev/ipmi/poweroff_powercycle. Note that if the system +does not support power cycling, it will always do the power off. + +The "ifnum_to_use" parameter specifies which interface the poweroff +code should use. The default is -1, which means to pick the first one +registered. + +Note that if you have ACPI enabled, the system will prefer using ACPI to +power off. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/isa.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/isa.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..3df1b1696 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/isa.rst @@ -0,0 +1,122 @@ +=========== +ISA Drivers +=========== + +The following text is adapted from the commit message of the initial +commit of the ISA bus driver authored by Rene Herman. + +During the recent "isa drivers using platform devices" discussion it was +pointed out that (ALSA) ISA drivers ran into the problem of not having +the option to fail driver load (device registration rather) upon not +finding their hardware due to a probe() error not being passed up +through the driver model. In the course of that, I suggested a separate +ISA bus might be best; Russell King agreed and suggested this bus could +use the .match() method for the actual device discovery. + +The attached does this. For this old non (generically) discoverable ISA +hardware only the driver itself can do discovery so as a difference with +the platform_bus, this isa_bus also distributes match() up to the +driver. + +As another difference: these devices only exist in the driver model due +to the driver creating them because it might want to drive them, meaning +that all device creation has been made internal as well. + +The usage model this provides is nice, and has been acked from the ALSA +side by Takashi Iwai and Jaroslav Kysela. The ALSA driver module_init's +now (for oldisa-only drivers) become:: + + static int __init alsa_card_foo_init(void) + { + return isa_register_driver(&snd_foo_isa_driver, SNDRV_CARDS); + } + + static void __exit alsa_card_foo_exit(void) + { + isa_unregister_driver(&snd_foo_isa_driver); + } + +Quite like the other bus models therefore. This removes a lot of +duplicated init code from the ALSA ISA drivers. + +The passed in isa_driver struct is the regular driver struct embedding a +struct device_driver, the normal probe/remove/shutdown/suspend/resume +callbacks, and as indicated that .match callback. + +The "SNDRV_CARDS" you see being passed in is a "unsigned int ndev" +parameter, indicating how many devices to create and call our methods +with. + +The platform_driver callbacks are called with a platform_device param; +the isa_driver callbacks are being called with a ``struct device *dev, +unsigned int id`` pair directly -- with the device creation completely +internal to the bus it's much cleaner to not leak isa_dev's by passing +them in at all. The id is the only thing we ever want other then the +struct device anyways, and it makes for nicer code in the callbacks as +well. + +With this additional .match() callback ISA drivers have all options. If +ALSA would want to keep the old non-load behaviour, it could stick all +of the old .probe in .match, which would only keep them registered after +everything was found to be present and accounted for. If it wanted the +behaviour of always loading as it inadvertently did for a bit after the +changeover to platform devices, it could just not provide a .match() and +do everything in .probe() as before. + +If it, as Takashi Iwai already suggested earlier as a way of following +the model from saner buses more closely, wants to load when a later bind +could conceivably succeed, it could use .match() for the prerequisites +(such as checking the user wants the card enabled and that port/irq/dma +values have been passed in) and .probe() for everything else. This is +the nicest model. + +To the code... + +This exports only two functions; isa_{,un}register_driver(). + +isa_register_driver() register's the struct device_driver, and then +loops over the passed in ndev creating devices and registering them. +This causes the bus match method to be called for them, which is:: + + int isa_bus_match(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *driver) + { + struct isa_driver *isa_driver = to_isa_driver(driver); + + if (dev->platform_data == isa_driver) { + if (!isa_driver->match || + isa_driver->match(dev, to_isa_dev(dev)->id)) + return 1; + dev->platform_data = NULL; + } + return 0; + } + +The first thing this does is check if this device is in fact one of this +driver's devices by seeing if the device's platform_data pointer is set +to this driver. Platform devices compare strings, but we don't need to +do that with everything being internal, so isa_register_driver() abuses +dev->platform_data as a isa_driver pointer which we can then check here. +I believe platform_data is available for this, but if rather not, moving +the isa_driver pointer to the private struct isa_dev is ofcourse fine as +well. + +Then, if the driver did not provide a .match, it matches. If it did, +the driver match() method is called to determine a match. + +If it did **not** match, dev->platform_data is reset to indicate this to +isa_register_driver which can then unregister the device again. + +If during all this, there's any error, or no devices matched at all +everything is backed out again and the error, or -ENODEV, is returned. + +isa_unregister_driver() just unregisters the matched devices and the +driver itself. + +module_isa_driver is a helper macro for ISA drivers which do not do +anything special in module init/exit.

A frozen port is not +allowed to perform any operation until the port is thawed, which usually +follows a successful reset. + +The optional ``->freeze()`` callback can be used for freezing the port +hardware-wise (e.g. mask interrupt and stop DMA engine). If a port +cannot be frozen hardware-wise, the interrupt handler must ack and clear +interrupts unconditionally while the port is frozen. + +The optional ``->thaw()`` callback is called to perform the opposite of +``->freeze()``: prepare the port for normal operation once again. Unmask +interrupts, start DMA engine, etc. + +:: + + void (*error_handler) (struct ata_port *ap); + + +``->error_handler()`` is a driver's hook into probe, hotplug, and recovery +and other exceptional conditions. The primary responsibility of an +implementation is to call :c:func:`ata_do_eh` or :c:func:`ata_bmdma_drive_eh` +with a set of EH hooks as arguments: + +'prereset' hook (may be NULL) is called during an EH reset, before any +other actions are taken. + +'postreset' hook (may be NULL) is called after the EH reset is +performed. Based on existing conditions, severity of the problem, and +hardware capabilities, + +Either 'softreset' (may be NULL) or 'hardreset' (may be NULL) will be +called to perform the low-level EH reset. + +:: + + void (*post_internal_cmd) (struct ata_queued_cmd *qc); + + +Perform any hardware-specific actions necessary to finish processing +after executing a probe-time or EH-time command via +:c:func:`ata_exec_internal`. + +Hardware interrupt handling +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +:: + + irqreturn_t (*irq_handler)(int, void *, struct pt_regs *); + void (*irq_clear) (struct ata_port *); + + +``->irq_handler`` is the interrupt handling routine registered with the +system, by libata. ``->irq_clear`` is called during probe just before the +interrupt handler is registered, to be sure hardware is quiet. + +The second argument, dev_instance, should be cast to a pointer to +:c:type:`struct ata_host_set <ata_host_set>`. + +Most legacy IDE drivers use :c:func:`ata_sff_interrupt` for the irq_handler +hook, which scans all ports in the host_set, determines which queued +command was active (if any), and calls ata_sff_host_intr(ap,qc). + +Most legacy IDE drivers use :c:func:`ata_sff_irq_clear` for the +:c:func:`irq_clear` hook, which simply clears the interrupt and error flags +in the DMA status register. + +SATA phy read/write +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +:: + + int (*scr_read) (struct ata_port *ap, unsigned int sc_reg, + u32 *val); + int (*scr_write) (struct ata_port *ap, unsigned int sc_reg, + u32 val); + + +Read and write standard SATA phy registers. Currently only used if +``->phy_reset`` hook called the :c:func:`sata_phy_reset` helper function. +sc_reg is one of SCR_STATUS, SCR_CONTROL, SCR_ERROR, or SCR_ACTIVE. + +Init and shutdown +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +:: + + int (*port_start) (struct ata_port *ap); + void (*port_stop) (struct ata_port *ap); + void (*host_stop) (struct ata_host_set *host_set); + + +``->port_start()`` is called just after the data structures for each port +are initialized. Typically this is used to alloc per-port DMA buffers / +tables / rings, enable DMA engines, and similar tasks. Some drivers also +use this entry point as a chance to allocate driver-private memory for +``ap->private_data``. + +Many drivers use :c:func:`ata_port_start` as this hook or call it from their +own :c:func:`port_start` hooks. :c:func:`ata_port_start` allocates space for +a legacy IDE PRD table and returns. + +``->port_stop()`` is called after ``->host_stop()``. Its sole function is to +release DMA/memory resources, now that they are no longer actively being +used. Many drivers also free driver-private data from port at this time. + +``->host_stop()`` is called after all ``->port_stop()`` calls have completed. +The hook must finalize hardware shutdown, release DMA and other +resources, etc. This hook may be specified as NULL, in which case it is +not called. + +Error handling +============== + +This chapter describes how errors are handled under libata. Readers are +advised to read SCSI EH (Documentation/scsi/scsi_eh.rst) and ATA +exceptions doc first. + +Origins of commands +------------------- + +In libata, a command is represented with +:c:type:`struct ata_queued_cmd <ata_queued_cmd>` or qc. +qc's are preallocated during port initialization and repetitively used +for command executions. Currently only one qc is allocated per port but +yet-to-be-merged NCQ branch allocates one for each tag and maps each qc +to NCQ tag 1-to-1. + +libata commands can originate from two sources - libata itself and SCSI +midlayer. libata internal commands are used for initialization and error +handling. All normal blk requests and commands for SCSI emulation are +passed as SCSI commands through queuecommand callback of SCSI host +template. + +How commands are issued +----------------------- + +Internal commands + Once allocated qc's taskfile is initialized for the command to be + executed. qc currently has two mechanisms to notify completion. One + is via ``qc->complete_fn()`` callback and the other is completion + ``qc->waiting``. ``qc->complete_fn()`` callback is the asynchronous path + used by normal SCSI translated commands and ``qc->waiting`` is the + synchronous (issuer sleeps in process context) path used by internal + commands. + + Once initialization is complete, host_set lock is acquired and the + qc is issued. + +SCSI commands + All libata drivers use :c:func:`ata_scsi_queuecmd` as + ``hostt->queuecommand`` callback. scmds can either be simulated or + translated. No qc is involved in processing a simulated scmd. The + result is computed right away and the scmd is completed. + + ``qc->complete_fn()`` callback is used for completion notification. ATA + commands use :c:func:`ata_scsi_qc_complete` while ATAPI commands use + :c:func:`atapi_qc_complete`. Both functions end up calling ``qc->scsidone`` + to notify upper layer when the qc is finished. After translation is + completed, the qc is issued with :c:func:`ata_qc_issue`. + + Note that SCSI midlayer invokes hostt->queuecommand while holding + host_set lock, so all above occur while holding host_set lock. + +How commands are processed +-------------------------- + +Depending on which protocol and which controller are used, commands are +processed differently. For the purpose of discussion, a controller which +uses taskfile interface and all standard callbacks is assumed. + +Currently 6 ATA command protocols are used. They can be sorted into the +following four categories according to how they are processed. + +ATA NO DATA or DMA + ATA_PROT_NODATA and ATA_PROT_DMA fall into this category. These + types of commands don't require any software intervention once + issued. Device will raise interrupt on completion. + +ATA PIO + ATA_PROT_PIO is in this category. libata currently implements PIO + with polling. ATA_NIEN bit is set to turn off interrupt and + pio_task on ata_wq performs polling and IO. + +ATAPI NODATA or DMA + ATA_PROT_ATAPI_NODATA and ATA_PROT_ATAPI_DMA are in this + category. packet_task is used to poll BSY bit after issuing PACKET + command. Once BSY is turned off by the device, packet_task + transfers CDB and hands off processing to interrupt handler. + +ATAPI PIO + ATA_PROT_ATAPI is in this category. ATA_NIEN bit is set and, as + in ATAPI NODATA or DMA, packet_task submits cdb. However, after + submitting cdb, further processing (data transfer) is handed off to + pio_task. + +How commands are completed +-------------------------- + +Once issued, all qc's are either completed with :c:func:`ata_qc_complete` or +time out. For commands which are handled by interrupts, +:c:func:`ata_host_intr` invokes :c:func:`ata_qc_complete`, and, for PIO tasks, +pio_task invokes :c:func:`ata_qc_complete`. In error cases, packet_task may +also complete commands. + +:c:func:`ata_qc_complete` does the following. + +1. DMA memory is unmapped. + +2. ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE is cleared from qc->flags. + +3. :c:expr:`qc->complete_fn` callback is invoked. If the return value of the + callback is not zero. Completion is short circuited and + :c:func:`ata_qc_complete` returns. + +4. :c:func:`__ata_qc_complete` is called, which does + + 1. ``qc->flags`` is cleared to zero. + + 2. ``ap->active_tag`` and ``qc->tag`` are poisoned. + + 3. ``qc->waiting`` is cleared & completed (in that order). + + 4. qc is deallocated by clearing appropriate bit in ``ap->qactive``. + +So, it basically notifies upper layer and deallocates qc. One exception +is short-circuit path in #3 which is used by :c:func:`atapi_qc_complete`. + +For all non-ATAPI commands, whether it fails or not, almost the same +code path is taken and very little error handling takes place. A qc is +completed with success status if it succeeded, with failed status +otherwise. + +However, failed ATAPI commands require more handling as REQUEST SENSE is +needed to acquire sense data. If an ATAPI command fails, +:c:func:`ata_qc_complete` is invoked with error status, which in turn invokes +:c:func:`atapi_qc_complete` via ``qc->complete_fn()`` callback. + +This makes :c:func:`atapi_qc_complete` set ``scmd->result`` to +SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION, complete the scmd and return 1. As the +sense data is empty but ``scmd->result`` is CHECK CONDITION, SCSI midlayer +will invoke EH for the scmd, and returning 1 makes :c:func:`ata_qc_complete` +to return without deallocating the qc. This leads us to +:c:func:`ata_scsi_error` with partially completed qc. + +:c:func:`ata_scsi_error` +------------------------ + +:c:func:`ata_scsi_error` is the current ``transportt->eh_strategy_handler()`` +for libata. As discussed above, this will be entered in two cases - +timeout and ATAPI error completion. This function calls low level libata +driver's :c:func:`eng_timeout` callback, the standard callback for which is +:c:func:`ata_eng_timeout`. It checks if a qc is active and calls +:c:func:`ata_qc_timeout` on the qc if so. Actual error handling occurs in +:c:func:`ata_qc_timeout`. + +If EH is invoked for timeout, :c:func:`ata_qc_timeout` stops BMDMA and +completes the qc. Note that as we're currently in EH, we cannot call +scsi_done. As described in SCSI EH doc, a recovered scmd should be +either retried with :c:func:`scsi_queue_insert` or finished with +:c:func:`scsi_finish_command`. Here, we override ``qc->scsidone`` with +:c:func:`scsi_finish_command` and calls :c:func:`ata_qc_complete`. + +If EH is invoked due to a failed ATAPI qc, the qc here is completed but +not deallocated. The purpose of this half-completion is to use the qc as +place holder to make EH code reach this place. This is a bit hackish, +but it works. + +Once control reaches here, the qc is deallocated by invoking +:c:func:`__ata_qc_complete` explicitly. Then, internal qc for REQUEST SENSE +is issued. Once sense data is acquired, scmd is finished by directly +invoking :c:func:`scsi_finish_command` on the scmd. Note that as we already +have completed and deallocated the qc which was associated with the +scmd, we don't need to/cannot call :c:func:`ata_qc_complete` again. + +Problems with the current EH +---------------------------- + +- Error representation is too crude. Currently any and all error + conditions are represented with ATA STATUS and ERROR registers. + Errors which aren't ATA device errors are treated as ATA device + errors by setting ATA_ERR bit. Better error descriptor which can + properly represent ATA and other errors/exceptions is needed. + +- When handling timeouts, no action is taken to make device forget + about the timed out command and ready for new commands. + +- EH handling via :c:func:`ata_scsi_error` is not properly protected from + usual command processing. On EH entrance, the device is not in + quiescent state. Timed out commands may succeed or fail any time. + pio_task and atapi_task may still be running. + +- Too weak error recovery. Devices / controllers causing HSM mismatch + errors and other errors quite often require reset to return to known + state. Also, advanced error handling is necessary to support features + like NCQ and hotplug. + +- ATA errors are directly handled in the interrupt handler and PIO + errors in pio_task. This is problematic for advanced error handling + for the following reasons. + + First, advanced error handling often requires context and internal qc + execution. + + Second, even a simple failure (say, CRC error) needs information + gathering and could trigger complex error handling (say, resetting & + reconfiguring). Having multiple code paths to gather information, + enter EH and trigger actions makes life painful. + + Third, scattered EH code makes implementing low level drivers + difficult. Low level drivers override libata callbacks. If EH is + scattered over several places, each affected callbacks should perform + its part of error handling. This can be error prone and painful. + +libata Library +============== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/ata/libata-core.c + :export: + +libata Core Internals +===================== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/ata/libata-core.c + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/ata/libata-eh.c + +libata SCSI translation/emulation +================================= + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c + :internal: + +ATA errors and exceptions +========================= + +This chapter tries to identify what error/exception conditions exist for +ATA/ATAPI devices and describe how they should be handled in +implementation-neutral way. + +The term 'error' is used to describe conditions where either an explicit +error condition is reported from device or a command has timed out. + +The term 'exception' is either used to describe exceptional conditions +which are not errors (say, power or hotplug events), or to describe both +errors and non-error exceptional conditions. Where explicit distinction +between error and exception is necessary, the term 'non-error exception' +is used. + +Exception categories +-------------------- + +Exceptions are described primarily with respect to legacy taskfile + bus +master IDE interface. If a controller provides other better mechanism +for error reporting, mapping those into categories described below +shouldn't be difficult. + +In the following sections, two recovery actions - reset and +reconfiguring transport - are mentioned. These are described further in +`EH recovery actions <#exrec>`__. + +HSM violation +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This error is indicated when STATUS value doesn't match HSM requirement +during issuing or execution any ATA/ATAPI command. + +- ATA_STATUS doesn't contain !BSY && DRDY && !DRQ while trying to + issue a command. + +- !BSY && !DRQ during PIO data transfer. + +- DRQ on command completion. + +- !BSY && ERR after CDB transfer starts but before the last byte of CDB + is transferred. ATA/ATAPI standard states that "The device shall not + terminate the PACKET command with an error before the last byte of + the command packet has been written" in the error outputs description + of PACKET command and the state diagram doesn't include such + transitions. + +In these cases, HSM is violated and not much information regarding the +error can be acquired from STATUS or ERROR register. IOW, this error can +be anything - driver bug, faulty device, controller and/or cable. + +As HSM is violated, reset is necessary to restore known state. +Reconfiguring transport for lower speed might be helpful too as +transmission errors sometimes cause this kind of errors. + +ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +These are errors detected and reported by ATA/ATAPI devices indicating +device problems. For this type of errors, STATUS and ERROR register +values are valid and describe error condition. Note that some of ATA bus +errors are detected by ATA/ATAPI devices and reported using the same +mechanism as device errors. Those cases are described later in this +section. + +For ATA commands, this type of errors are indicated by !BSY && ERR +during command execution and on completion. + +For ATAPI commands, + +- !BSY && ERR && ABRT right after issuing PACKET indicates that PACKET + command is not supported and falls in this category. + +- !BSY && ERR(==CHK) && !ABRT after the last byte of CDB is transferred + indicates CHECK CONDITION and doesn't fall in this category. + +- !BSY && ERR(==CHK) && ABRT after the last byte of CDB is transferred + \*probably\* indicates CHECK CONDITION and doesn't fall in this + category. + +Of errors detected as above, the following are not ATA/ATAPI device +errors but ATA bus errors and should be handled according to +`ATA bus error <#excatATAbusErr>`__. + +CRC error during data transfer + This is indicated by ICRC bit in the ERROR register and means that + corruption occurred during data transfer. Up to ATA/ATAPI-7, the + standard specifies that this bit is only applicable to UDMA + transfers but ATA/ATAPI-8 draft revision 1f says that the bit may be + applicable to multiword DMA and PIO. + +ABRT error during data transfer or on completion + Up to ATA/ATAPI-7, the standard specifies that ABRT could be set on + ICRC errors and on cases where a device is not able to complete a + command. Combined with the fact that MWDMA and PIO transfer errors + aren't allowed to use ICRC bit up to ATA/ATAPI-7, it seems to imply + that ABRT bit alone could indicate transfer errors. + + However, ATA/ATAPI-8 draft revision 1f removes the part that ICRC + errors can turn on ABRT. So, this is kind of gray area. Some + heuristics are needed here. + +ATA/ATAPI device errors can be further categorized as follows. + +Media errors + This is indicated by UNC bit in the ERROR register. ATA devices + reports UNC error only after certain number of retries cannot + recover the data, so there's nothing much else to do other than + notifying upper layer. + + READ and WRITE commands report CHS or LBA of the first failed sector + but ATA/ATAPI standard specifies that the amount of transferred data + on error completion is indeterminate, so we cannot assume that + sectors preceding the failed sector have been transferred and thus + cannot complete those sectors successfully as SCSI does. + +Media changed / media change requested error + <<TODO: fill here>> + +Address error + This is indicated by IDNF bit in the ERROR register. Report to upper + layer. + +Other errors + This can be invalid command or parameter indicated by ABRT ERROR bit + or some other error condition. Note that ABRT bit can indicate a lot + of things including ICRC and Address errors. Heuristics needed. + +Depending on commands, not all STATUS/ERROR bits are applicable. These +non-applicable bits are marked with "na" in the output descriptions but +up to ATA/ATAPI-7 no definition of "na" can be found. However, +ATA/ATAPI-8 draft revision 1f describes "N/A" as follows. + + 3.2.3.3a N/A + A keyword the indicates a field has no defined value in this + standard and should not be checked by the host or device. N/A + fields should be cleared to zero. + +So, it seems reasonable to assume that "na" bits are cleared to zero by +devices and thus need no explicit masking. + +ATAPI device CHECK CONDITION +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +ATAPI device CHECK CONDITION error is indicated by set CHK bit (ERR bit) +in the STATUS register after the last byte of CDB is transferred for a +PACKET command. For this kind of errors, sense data should be acquired +to gather information regarding the errors. REQUEST SENSE packet command +should be used to acquire sense data. + +Once sense data is acquired, this type of errors can be handled +similarly to other SCSI errors. Note that sense data may indicate ATA +bus error (e.g. Sense Key 04h HARDWARE ERROR && ASC/ASCQ 47h/00h SCSI +PARITY ERROR). In such cases, the error should be considered as an ATA +bus error and handled according to `ATA bus error <#excatATAbusErr>`__. + +ATA device error (NCQ) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +NCQ command error is indicated by cleared BSY and set ERR bit during NCQ +command phase (one or more NCQ commands outstanding). Although STATUS +and ERROR registers will contain valid values describing the error, READ +LOG EXT is required to clear the error condition, determine which +command has failed and acquire more information. + +READ LOG EXT Log Page 10h reports which tag has failed and taskfile +register values describing the error. With this information the failed +command can be handled as a normal ATA command error as in +`ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION) <#excatDevErr>`__ +and all other in-flight commands must be retried. Note that this retry +should not be counted - it's likely that commands retried this way would +have completed normally if it were not for the failed command. + +Note that ATA bus errors can be reported as ATA device NCQ errors. This +should be handled as described in `ATA bus error <#excatATAbusErr>`__. + +If READ LOG EXT Log Page 10h fails or reports NQ, we're thoroughly +screwed. This condition should be treated according to +`HSM violation <#excatHSMviolation>`__. + +ATA bus error +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission +over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by + +- ICRC or ABRT error as described in + `ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION) <#excatDevErr>`__. + +- Controller-specific error completion with error information + indicating transmission error. + +- On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a + mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error. + +- Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities. + +As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of +symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, +for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to +transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind +of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, +encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is +likely to indicate ATA bus error. + +Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, +lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may +alleviate the problem. See `Reconfigure transport <#exrecReconf>`__ for +more information. + +PCI bus error +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Data corruption or other failures during transmission over PCI (or other +system bus). For standard BMDMA, this is indicated by Error bit in the +BMDMA Status register. This type of errors must be logged as it +indicates something is very wrong with the system. Resetting host +controller is recommended. + +Late completion +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This occurs when timeout occurs and the timeout handler finds out that +the timed out command has completed successfully or with error. This is +usually caused by lost interrupts. This type of errors must be logged. +Resetting host controller is recommended. + +Unknown error (timeout) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This is when timeout occurs and the command is still processing or the +host and device are in unknown state. When this occurs, HSM could be in +any valid or invalid state. To bring the device to known state and make +it forget about the timed out command, resetting is necessary. The timed +out command may be retried. + +Timeouts can also be caused by transmission errors. Refer to +`ATA bus error <#excatATAbusErr>`__ for more details. + +Hotplug and power management exceptions +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +<<TODO: fill here>> + +EH recovery actions +------------------- + +This section discusses several important recovery actions. + +Clearing error condition +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Many controllers require its error registers to be cleared by error +handler. Different controllers may have different requirements. + +For SATA, it's strongly recommended to clear at least SError register +during error handling. + +Reset +~~~~~ + +During EH, resetting is necessary in the following cases. + +- HSM is in unknown or invalid state + +- HBA is in unknown or invalid state + +- EH needs to make HBA/device forget about in-flight commands + +- HBA/device behaves weirdly + +Resetting during EH might be a good idea regardless of error condition +to improve EH robustness. Whether to reset both or either one of HBA and +device depends on situation but the following scheme is recommended. + +- When it's known that HBA is in ready state but ATA/ATAPI device is in + unknown state, reset only device. + +- If HBA is in unknown state, reset both HBA and device. + +HBA resetting is implementation specific. For a controller complying to +taskfile/BMDMA PCI IDE, stopping active DMA transaction may be +sufficient iff BMDMA state is the only HBA context. But even mostly +taskfile/BMDMA PCI IDE complying controllers may have implementation +specific requirements and mechanism to reset themselves. This must be +addressed by specific drivers. + +OTOH, ATA/ATAPI standard describes in detail ways to reset ATA/ATAPI +devices. + +PATA hardware reset + This is hardware initiated device reset signalled with asserted PATA + RESET- signal. There is no standard way to initiate hardware reset + from software although some hardware provides registers that allow + driver to directly tweak the RESET- signal. + +Software reset + This is achieved by turning CONTROL SRST bit on for at least 5us. + Both PATA and SATA support it but, in case of SATA, this may require + controller-specific support as the second Register FIS to clear SRST + should be transmitted while BSY bit is still set. Note that on PATA, + this resets both master and slave devices on a channel. + +EXECUTE DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC command + Although ATA/ATAPI standard doesn't describe exactly, EDD implies + some level of resetting, possibly similar level with software reset. + Host-side EDD protocol can be handled with normal command processing + and most SATA controllers should be able to handle EDD's just like + other commands. As in software reset, EDD affects both devices on a + PATA bus. + + Although EDD does reset devices, this doesn't suit error handling as + EDD cannot be issued while BSY is set and it's unclear how it will + act when device is in unknown/weird state. + +ATAPI DEVICE RESET command + This is very similar to software reset except that reset can be + restricted to the selected device without affecting the other device + sharing the cable. + +SATA phy reset + This is the preferred way of resetting a SATA device. In effect, + it's identical to PATA hardware reset. Note that this can be done + with the standard SCR Control register. As such, it's usually easier + to implement than software reset. + +One more thing to consider when resetting devices is that resetting +clears certain configuration parameters and they need to be set to their +previous or newly adjusted values after reset. + +Parameters affected are. + +- CHS set up with INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS (seldom used) + +- Parameters set with SET FEATURES including transfer mode setting + +- Block count set with SET MULTIPLE MODE + +- Other parameters (SET MAX, MEDIA LOCK...) + +ATA/ATAPI standard specifies that some parameters must be maintained +across hardware or software reset, but doesn't strictly specify all of +them. Always reconfiguring needed parameters after reset is required for +robustness. Note that this also applies when resuming from deep sleep +(power-off). + +Also, ATA/ATAPI standard requires that IDENTIFY DEVICE / IDENTIFY PACKET +DEVICE is issued after any configuration parameter is updated or a +hardware reset and the result used for further operation. OS driver is +required to implement revalidation mechanism to support this. + +Reconfigure transport +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +For both PATA and SATA, a lot of corners are cut for cheap connectors, +cables or controllers and it's quite common to see high transmission +error rate. This can be mitigated by lowering transmission speed. + +The following is a possible scheme Jeff Garzik suggested. + + If more than $N (3?) transmission errors happen in 15 minutes, + + - if SATA, decrease SATA PHY speed. if speed cannot be decreased, + + - decrease UDMA xfer speed. if at UDMA0, switch to PIO4, + + - decrease PIO xfer speed. if at PIO3, complain, but continue + +ata_piix Internals +=================== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/ata/ata_piix.c + :internal: + +sata_sil Internals +=================== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/ata/sata_sil.c + :internal: + +Thanks +====== + +The bulk of the ATA knowledge comes thanks to long conversations with +Andre Hedrick (www.linux-ide.org), and long hours pondering the ATA and +SCSI specifications. + +Thanks to Alan Cox for pointing out similarities between SATA and SCSI, +and in general for motivation to hack on libata. + +libata's device detection method, ata_pio_devchk, and in general all +the early probing was based on extensive study of Hale Landis's +probe/reset code in his ATADRVR driver (www.ata-atapi.com). diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/mailbox.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/mailbox.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..0ed95009c --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/mailbox.rst @@ -0,0 +1,129 @@ +============================ +The Common Mailbox Framework +============================ + +:Author: Jassi Brar <jaswinder.singh@linaro.org> + +This document aims to help developers write client and controller +drivers for the API.

It is up to the filesystem to ensure +one node doesn't read from a location where another node (or the same +node) is writing. + + +2. DLM Locks for management +=========================== + +There are three groups of locks for managing the device: + +2.1 Bitmap lock resource (bm_lockres) +------------------------------------- + + The bm_lockres protects individual node bitmaps. They are named in + the form bitmap000 for node 1, bitmap001 for node 2 and so on. When a + node joins the cluster, it acquires the lock in PW mode and it stays + so during the lifetime the node is part of the cluster. The lock + resource number is based on the slot number returned by the DLM + subsystem. Since DLM starts node count from one and bitmap slots + start from zero, one is subtracted from the DLM slot number to arrive + at the bitmap slot number. + + The LVB of the bitmap lock for a particular node records the range + of sectors that are being re-synced by that node. No other + node may write to those sectors. This is used when a new nodes + joins the cluster. + +2.2 Message passing locks +------------------------- + + Each node has to communicate with other nodes when starting or ending + resync, and for metadata superblock updates. This communication is + managed through three locks: "token", "message", and "ack", together + with the Lock Value Block (LVB) of one of the "message" lock. + +2.3 new-device management +------------------------- + + A single lock: "no-new-dev" is used to co-ordinate the addition of + new devices - this must be synchronized across the array. + Normally all nodes hold a concurrent-read lock on this device. + +3. Communication +================ + + Messages can be broadcast to all nodes, and the sender waits for all + other nodes to acknowledge the message before proceeding. Only one + message can be processed at a time. + +3.1 Message Types +----------------- + + There are six types of messages which are passed: + +3.1.1 METADATA_UPDATED +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + + informs other nodes that the metadata has + been updated, and the node must re-read the md superblock. This is + performed synchronously. It is primarily used to signal device + failure. + +3.1.2 RESYNCING +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + informs other nodes that a resync is initiated or + ended so that each node may suspend or resume the region. Each + RESYNCING message identifies a range of the devices that the + sending node is about to resync. This overrides any previous + notification from that node: only one ranged can be resynced at a + time per-node. + +3.1.3 NEWDISK +^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + + informs other nodes that a device is being added to + the array. Message contains an identifier for that device. See + below for further details. + +3.1.4 REMOVE +^^^^^^^^^^^^ + + A failed or spare device is being removed from the + array. The slot-number of the device is included in the message. + + 3.1.5 RE_ADD: + + A failed device is being re-activated - the assumption + is that it has been determined to be working again. + + 3.1.6 BITMAP_NEEDS_SYNC: + + If a node is stopped locally but the bitmap + isn't clean, then another node is informed to take the ownership of + resync. + +3.2 Communication mechanism +--------------------------- + + The DLM LVB is used to communicate within nodes of the cluster. There + are three resources used for the purpose: + +3.2.1 token +^^^^^^^^^^^ + The resource which protects the entire communication + system. The node having the token resource is allowed to + communicate. + +3.2.2 message +^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + The lock resource which carries the data to communicate. + +3.2.3 ack +^^^^^^^^^ + + The resource, acquiring which means the message has been + acknowledged by all nodes in the cluster. The BAST of the resource + is used to inform the receiving node that a node wants to + communicate. + +The algorithm is: + + 1. receive status - all nodes have concurrent-reader lock on "ack":: + + sender receiver receiver + "ack":CR "ack":CR "ack":CR + + 2. sender get EX on "token", + sender get EX on "message":: + + sender receiver receiver + "token":EX "ack":CR "ack":CR + "message":EX + "ack":CR + + Sender checks that it still needs to send a message.

Handling Failures +==================== + +4.1 Node Failure +---------------- + + When a node fails, the DLM informs the cluster with the slot + number. The node starts a cluster recovery thread. The cluster + recovery thread: + + - acquires the bitmap<number> lock of the failed node + - opens the bitmap + - reads the bitmap of the failed node + - copies the set bitmap to local node + - cleans the bitmap of the failed node + - releases bitmap<number> lock of the failed node + - initiates resync of the bitmap on the current node + md_check_recovery is invoked within recover_bitmaps, + then md_check_recovery -> metadata_update_start/finish, + it will lock the communication by lock_comm. + Which means when one node is resyncing it blocks all + other nodes from writing anywhere on the array. + + The resync process is the regular md resync. However, in a clustered + environment when a resync is performed, it needs to tell other nodes + of the areas which are suspended. Before a resync starts, the node + send out RESYNCING with the (lo,hi) range of the area which needs to + be suspended. Each node maintains a suspend_list, which contains the + list of ranges which are currently suspended. On receiving RESYNCING, + the node adds the range to the suspend_list. Similarly, when the node + performing resync finishes, it sends RESYNCING with an empty range to + other nodes and other nodes remove the corresponding entry from the + suspend_list. + + A helper function, ->area_resyncing() can be used to check if a + particular I/O range should be suspended or not. + +4.2 Device Failure +================== + + Device failures are handled and communicated with the metadata update + routine. When a node detects a device failure it does not allow + any further writes to that device until the failure has been + acknowledged by all other nodes. + +5. Adding a new Device +---------------------- + + For adding a new device, it is necessary that all nodes "see" the new + device to be added. For this, the following algorithm is used: + + 1. Node 1 issues mdadm --manage /dev/mdX --add /dev/sdYY which issues + ioctl(ADD_NEW_DISK with disc.state set to MD_DISK_CLUSTER_ADD) + 2. Node 1 sends a NEWDISK message with uuid and slot number + 3. Other nodes issue kobject_uevent_env with uuid and slot number + (Steps 4,5 could be a udev rule) + 4. In userspace, the node searches for the disk, perhaps + using blkid -t SUB_UUID="" + 5. Other nodes issue either of the following depending on whether + the disk was found: + ioctl(ADD_NEW_DISK with disc.state set to MD_DISK_CANDIDATE and + disc.number set to slot number) + ioctl(CLUSTERED_DISK_NACK) + 6. Other nodes drop lock on "no-new-devs" (CR) if device is found + 7. Node 1 attempts EX lock on "no-new-dev" + 8. If node 1 gets the lock, it sends METADATA_UPDATED after + unmarking the disk as SpareLocal + 9. If not (get "no-new-dev" lock), it fails the operation and sends + METADATA_UPDATED. + 10. Other nodes get the information whether a disk is added or not + by the following METADATA_UPDATED. + +6. Module interface +=================== + + There are 17 call-backs which the md core can make to the cluster + module. Understanding these can give a good overview of the whole + process. + +6.1 join(nodes) and leave() +--------------------------- + + These are called when an array is started with a clustered bitmap, + and when the array is stopped. join() ensures the cluster is + available and initializes the various resources. + Only the first 'nodes' nodes in the cluster can use the array. + +6.2 slot_number() +----------------- + + Reports the slot number advised by the cluster infrastructure. + Range is from 0 to nodes-1. + +6.3 resync_info_update() +------------------------ + + This updates the resync range that is stored in the bitmap lock. + The starting point is updated as the resync progresses. The + end point is always the end of the array. + It does *not* send a RESYNCING message. + +6.4 resync_start(), resync_finish() +----------------------------------- + + These are called when resync/recovery/reshape starts or stops. + They update the resyncing range in the bitmap lock and also + send a RESYNCING message. resync_start reports the whole + array as resyncing, resync_finish reports none of it. + + resync_finish() also sends a BITMAP_NEEDS_SYNC message which + allows some other node to take over. + +6.5 metadata_update_start(), metadata_update_finish(), metadata_update_cancel() +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + metadata_update_start is used to get exclusive access to + the metadata. If a change is still needed once that access is + gained, metadata_update_finish() will send a METADATA_UPDATE + message to all other nodes, otherwise metadata_update_cancel() + can be used to release the lock. + +6.6 area_resyncing() +-------------------- + + This combines two elements of functionality. + + Firstly, it will check if any node is currently resyncing + anything in a given range of sectors. If any resync is found, + then the caller will avoid writing or read-balancing in that + range. + + Secondly, while node recovery is happening it reports that + all areas are resyncing for READ requests. This avoids races + between the cluster-filesystem and the cluster-RAID handling + a node failure. + +6.7 add_new_disk_start(), add_new_disk_finish(), new_disk_ack() +--------------------------------------------------------------- + + These are used to manage the new-disk protocol described above. + When a new device is added, add_new_disk_start() is called before + it is bound to the array and, if that succeeds, add_new_disk_finish() + is called the device is fully added. + + When a device is added in acknowledgement to a previous + request, or when the device is declared "unavailable", + new_disk_ack() is called. + +6.8 remove_disk() +----------------- + + This is called when a spare or failed device is removed from + the array. It causes a REMOVE message to be send to other nodes. + +6.9 gather_bitmaps() +-------------------- + + This sends a RE_ADD message to all other nodes and then + gathers bitmap information from all bitmaps. This combined + bitmap is then used to recovery the re-added device. + +6.10 lock_all_bitmaps() and unlock_all_bitmaps() +------------------------------------------------ + + These are called when change bitmap to none. If a node plans + to clear the cluster raid's bitmap, it need to make sure no other + nodes are using the raid which is achieved by lock all bitmap + locks within the cluster, and also those locks are unlocked + accordingly. + +7.

The role of RAID disks isn't changed with the cache disk. The cache disk +caches data to the RAID disks. The cache can be in write-through (supported +since 4.4) or write-back mode (supported since 4.10). mdadm (supported since +3.4) has a new option '--write-journal' to create array with cache. Please +refer to mdadm manual for details. By default (RAID array starts), the cache is +in write-through mode.

This means +the cache disk must be fast and sustainable. + +write-through mode +================== + +This mode mainly fixes the 'write hole' issue. For RAID 4/5/6 array, an unclean +shutdown can cause data in some stripes to not be in consistent state, eg, data +and parity don't match. The reason is that a stripe write involves several RAID +disks and it's possible the writes don't hit all RAID disks yet before the +unclean shutdown. We call an array degraded if it has inconsistent data. MD +tries to resync the array to bring it back to normal state. But before the +resync completes, any system crash will expose the chance of real data +corruption in the RAID array. This problem is called 'write hole'. + +The write-through cache will cache all data on cache disk first. After the data +is safe on the cache disk, the data will be flushed onto RAID disks. The +two-step write will guarantee MD can recover correct data after unclean +shutdown even the array is degraded. Thus the cache can close the 'write hole'. + +In write-through mode, MD reports IO completion to upper layer (usually +filesystems) after the data is safe on RAID disks, so cache disk failure +doesn't cause data loss. Of course cache disk failure means the array is +exposed to 'write hole' again. + +In write-through mode, the cache disk isn't required to be big. Several +hundreds megabytes are enough. + +write-back mode +=============== + +write-back mode fixes the 'write hole' issue too, since all write data is +cached on cache disk. But the main goal of 'write-back' cache is to speed up +write. If a write crosses all RAID disks of a stripe, we call it full-stripe +write. For non-full-stripe writes, MD must read old data before the new parity +can be calculated. These synchronous reads hurt write throughput. Some writes +which are sequential but not dispatched in the same time will suffer from this +overhead too. Write-back cache will aggregate the data and flush the data to +RAID disks only after the data becomes a full stripe write. This will +completely avoid the overhead, so it's very helpful for some workloads. A +typical workload which does sequential write followed by fsync is an example. + +In write-back mode, MD reports IO completion to upper layer (usually +filesystems) right after the data hits cache disk. The data is flushed to raid +disks later after specific conditions met. So cache disk failure will cause +data loss. + +In write-back mode, MD also caches data in memory. The memory cache includes +the same data stored on cache disk, so a power loss doesn't cause data loss. +The memory cache size has performance impact for the array. It's recommended +the size is big. A user can configure the size by:: + + echo "2048" > /sys/block/md0/md/stripe_cache_size + +Too small cache disk will make the write aggregation less efficient in this +mode depending on the workloads. It's recommended to use a cache disk with at +least several gigabytes size in write-back mode. + +The implementation +================== + +The write-through and write-back cache use the same disk format. The cache disk +is organized as a simple write log. The log consists of 'meta data' and 'data' +pairs. The meta data describes the data. It also includes checksum and sequence +ID for recovery identification. Data can be IO data and parity data. Data is +checksumed too. The checksum is stored in the meta data ahead of the data. The +checksum is an optimization because MD can write meta and data freely without +worry about the order. MD superblock has a field pointed to the valid meta data +of log head. + +The log implementation is pretty straightforward. The difficult part is the +order in which MD writes data to cache disk and RAID disks. Specifically, in +write-through mode, MD calculates parity for IO data, writes both IO data and +parity to the log, writes the data and parity to RAID disks after the data and +parity is settled down in log and finally the IO is finished. Read just reads +from raid disks as usual. + +In write-back mode, MD writes IO data to the log and reports IO completion. The +data is also fully cached in memory at that time, which means read must query +memory cache. If some conditions are met, MD will flush the data to RAID disks. +MD will calculate parity for the data and write parity into the log. After this +is finished, MD will write both data and parity into RAID disks, then MD can +release the memory cache. The flush conditions could be stripe becomes a full +stripe write, free cache disk space is low or free in-kernel memory cache space +is low. + +After an unclean shutdown, MD does recovery. MD reads all meta data and data +from the log. The sequence ID and checksum will help us detect corrupted meta +data and data. If MD finds a stripe with data and valid parities (1 parity for +raid4/5 and 2 for raid6), MD will write the data and parities to RAID disks. If +parities are incompleted, they are discarded. If part of data is corrupted, +they are discarded too. MD then loads valid data and writes them to RAID disks +in normal way. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/md/raid5-ppl.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/md/raid5-ppl.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..357e5515b --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/md/raid5-ppl.rst @@ -0,0 +1,47 @@ +================== +Partial Parity Log +================== + +Partial Parity Log (PPL) is a feature available for RAID5 arrays. The issue +addressed by PPL is that after a dirty shutdown, parity of a particular stripe +may become inconsistent with data on other member disks. If the array is also +in degraded state, there is no way to recalculate parity, because one of the +disks is missing. This can lead to silent data corruption when rebuilding the +array or using it is as degraded - data calculated from parity for array blocks +that have not been touched by a write request during the unclean shutdown can +be incorrect. Such condition is known as the RAID5 Write Hole. Because of +this, md by default does not allow starting a dirty degraded array. + +Partial parity for a write operation is the XOR of stripe data chunks not +modified by this write. It is just enough data needed for recovering from the +write hole. XORing partial parity with the modified chunks produces parity for +the stripe, consistent with its state before the write operation, regardless of +which chunk writes have completed. If one of the not modified data disks of +this stripe is missing, this updated parity can be used to recover its +contents. PPL recovery is also performed when starting an array after an +unclean shutdown and all disks are available, eliminating the need to resync +the array. Because of this, using write-intent bitmap and PPL together is not +supported. + +When handling a write request PPL writes partial parity before new data and +parity are dispatched to disks. PPL is a distributed log - it is stored on +array member drives in the metadata area, on the parity drive of a particular +stripe. It does not require a dedicated journaling drive. Write performance is +reduced by up to 30%-40% but it scales with the number of drives in the array +and the journaling drive does not become a bottleneck or a single point of +failure. + +Unlike raid5-cache, the other solution in md for closing the write hole, PPL is +not a true journal. It does not protect from losing in-flight data, only from +silent data corruption. If a dirty disk of a stripe is lost, no PPL recovery is +performed for this stripe (parity is not updated). So it is possible to have +arbitrary data in the written part of a stripe if that disk is lost. In such +case the behavior is the same as in plain raid5. + +PPL is available for md version-1 metadata and external (specifically IMSM) +metadata arrays. It can be enabled using mdadm option --consistency-policy=ppl. + +There is a limitation of maximum 64 disks in the array for PPL. It allows to +keep data structures and implementation simple. RAID5 arrays with so many disks +are not likely due to high risk of multiple disks failure.

The clock tree is generally configured by the driver based on a few +input parameters that are specific to the hardware:: the external clock frequency +and the link frequency. The two parameters generally are obtained from system +firmware. **No other frequencies should be used in any circumstances.** + +The reason why the clock frequencies are so important is that the clock signals +come out of the SoC, and in many cases a specific frequency is designed to be +used in the system. Using another frequency may cause harmful effects +elsewhere. Therefore only the pre-determined frequencies are configurable by the +user. + +ACPI +~~~~ + +Read the ``clock-frequency`` _DSD property to denote the frequency. The driver +can rely on this frequency being used. + +Devicetree +~~~~~~~~~~ + +The currently preferred way to achieve this is using ``assigned-clocks``, +``assigned-clock-parents`` and ``assigned-clock-rates`` properties. See +``Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/clock-bindings.txt`` for more +information. The driver then gets the frequency using ``clk_get_rate()``. + +This approach has the drawback that there's no guarantee that the frequency +hasn't been modified directly or indirectly by another driver, or supported by +the board's clock tree to begin with. Changes to the Common Clock Framework API +are required to ensure reliability. + +Frame size +---------- + +There are two distinct ways to configure the frame size produced by camera +sensors. + +Freely configurable camera sensor drivers +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Freely configurable camera sensor drivers expose the device's internal +processing pipeline as one or more sub-devices with different cropping and +scaling configurations. The output size of the device is the result of a series +of cropping and scaling operations from the device's pixel array's size. + +An example of such a driver is the CCS driver (see ``drivers/media/i2c/ccs``). + +Register list based drivers +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Register list based drivers generally, instead of able to configure the device +they control based on user requests, are limited to a number of preset +configurations that combine a number of different parameters that on hardware +level are independent. How a driver picks such configuration is based on the +format set on a source pad at the end of the device's internal pipeline. + +Most sensor drivers are implemented this way, see e.g. +``drivers/media/i2c/imx319.c`` for an example. + +Frame interval configuration +---------------------------- + +There are two different methods for obtaining possibilities for different frame +intervals as well as configuring the frame interval. Which one to implement +depends on the type of the device. + +Raw camera sensors +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Instead of a high level parameter such as frame interval, the frame interval is +a result of the configuration of a number of camera sensor implementation +specific parameters. Luckily, these parameters tend to be the same for more or +less all modern raw camera sensors. + +The frame interval is calculated using the following equation:: + + frame interval = (analogue crop width + horizontal blanking) * + (analogue crop height + vertical blanking) / pixel rate + +The formula is bus independent and is applicable for raw timing parameters on +large variety of devices beyond camera sensors. Devices that have no analogue +crop, use the full source image size, i.e. pixel array size. + +Horizontal and vertical blanking are specified by ``V4L2_CID_HBLANK`` and +``V4L2_CID_VBLANK``, respectively. The unit of the ``V4L2_CID_HBLANK`` control +is pixels and the unit of the ``V4L2_CID_VBLANK`` is lines. The pixel rate in +the sensor's **pixel array** is specified by ``V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE`` in the same +sub-device. The unit of that control is pixels per second. + +Register list based drivers need to implement read-only sub-device nodes for the +purpose. Devices that are not register list based need these to configure the +device's internal processing pipeline. + +The first entity in the linear pipeline is the pixel array. The pixel array may +be followed by other entities that are there to allow configuring binning, +skipping, scaling or digital crop :ref:`v4l2-subdev-selections`. + +USB cameras etc. devices +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +USB video class hardware, as well as many cameras offering a similar higher +level interface natively, generally use the concept of frame interval (or frame +rate) on device level in firmware or hardware. This means lower level controls +implemented by raw cameras may not be used on uAPI (or even kAPI) to control the +frame interval on these devices. + +Power management +---------------- + +Always use runtime PM to manage the power states of your device. Camera sensor +drivers are in no way special in this respect: they are responsible for +controlling the power state of the device they otherwise control as well. In +general, the device must be powered on at least when its registers are being +accessed and when it is streaming. + +Existing camera sensor drivers may rely on the old +struct v4l2_subdev_core_ops->s_power() callback for bridge or ISP drivers to +manage their power state. This is however **deprecated**. If you feel you need +to begin calling an s_power from an ISP or a bridge driver, instead please add +runtime PM support to the sensor driver you are using. Likewise, new drivers +should not use s_power. + +Please see examples in e.g. ``drivers/media/i2c/ov8856.c`` and +``drivers/media/i2c/ccs/ccs-core.c``. The two drivers work in both ACPI +and DT based systems. + +Control framework +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +``v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup()`` function may not be used in the device's runtime +PM ``runtime_resume`` callback, as it has no way to figure out the power state +of the device. This is because the power state of the device is only changed +after the power state transition has taken place. The ``s_ctrl`` callback can be +used to obtain device's power state after the power state transition: + +.. c:function:: int pm_runtime_get_if_in_use(struct device *dev); + +The function returns a non-zero value if it succeeded getting the power count or +runtime PM was disabled, in either of which cases the driver may proceed to +access the device. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/cec-core.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/cec-core.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..ae0d20798 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/cec-core.rst @@ -0,0 +1,478 @@ +..

A retransmission is needed. + +CEC_TX_STATUS_LOW_DRIVE: + low drive was detected on the CEC bus. This indicates that + a follower detected an error on the bus and requested a + retransmission. + +CEC_TX_STATUS_ERROR: + some unspecified error occurred: this can be one of ARB_LOST + or LOW_DRIVE if the hardware cannot differentiate or something + else entirely. Some hardware only supports OK and FAIL as the + result of a transmit, i.e. there is no way to differentiate + between the different possible errors. In that case map FAIL + to CEC_TX_STATUS_NACK and not to CEC_TX_STATUS_ERROR. + +CEC_TX_STATUS_MAX_RETRIES: + could not transmit the message after trying multiple times. + Should only be set by the driver if it has hardware support for + retrying messages. If set, then the framework assumes that it + doesn't have to make another attempt to transmit the message + since the hardware did that already. + +The hardware must be able to differentiate between OK, NACK and 'something +else'. + +The \*_cnt arguments are the number of error conditions that were seen. +This may be 0 if no information is available. Drivers that do not support +hardware retry can just set the counter corresponding to the transmit error +to 1, if the hardware does support retry then either set these counters to +0 if the hardware provides no feedback of which errors occurred and how many +times, or fill in the correct values as reported by the hardware. + +Be aware that calling these functions can immediately start a new transmit +if there is one pending in the queue. So make sure that the hardware is in +a state where new transmits can be started *before* calling these functions. + +The cec_transmit_attempt_done() function is a helper for cases where the +hardware never retries, so the transmit is always for just a single +attempt. It will call cec_transmit_done() in turn, filling in 1 for the +count argument corresponding to the status. Or all 0 if the status was OK. + +When a CEC message was received: + +.. c:function:: + void cec_received_msg(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct cec_msg *msg); + +Speaks for itself. + +Implementing the interrupt handler +---------------------------------- + +Typically the CEC hardware provides interrupts that signal when a transmit +finished and whether it was successful or not, and it provides and interrupt +when a CEC message was received. + +The CEC driver should always process the transmit interrupts first before +handling the receive interrupt. The framework expects to see the cec_transmit_done +call before the cec_received_msg call, otherwise it can get confused if the +received message was in reply to the transmitted message. + +Optional: Implementing Error Injection Support +---------------------------------------------- + +If the CEC adapter supports Error Injection functionality, then that can +be exposed through the Error Injection callbacks: + +.. code-block:: none + + struct cec_adap_ops { + /* Low-level callbacks */ + ... + + /* Error injection callbacks */ + int (*error_inj_show)(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct seq_file *sf); + bool (*error_inj_parse_line)(struct cec_adapter *adap, char *line); + + /* High-level CEC message callback */ + ... + }; + +If both callbacks are set, then an ``error-inj`` file will appear in debugfs. +The basic syntax is as follows: + +Leading spaces/tabs are ignored. If the next character is a ``#`` or the end of the +line was reached, then the whole line is ignored. Otherwise a command is expected. + +This basic parsing is done in the CEC Framework. It is up to the driver to decide +what commands to implement. The only requirement is that the command ``clear`` without +any arguments must be implemented and that it will remove all current error injection +commands. + +This ensures that you can always do ``echo clear >error-inj`` to clear any error +injections without having to know the details of the driver-specific commands. + +Note that the output of ``error-inj`` shall be valid as input to ``error-inj``. +So this must work: + +.. code-block:: none + + $ cat error-inj >einj.txt + $ cat einj.txt >error-inj + +The first callback is called when this file is read and it should show the +current error injection state:: + + int (*error_inj_show)(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct seq_file *sf); + +It is recommended that it starts with a comment block with basic usage +information. It returns 0 for success and an error otherwise. + +The second callback will parse commands written to the ``error-inj`` file:: + + bool (*error_inj_parse_line)(struct cec_adapter *adap, char *line); + +The ``line`` argument points to the start of the command. Any leading +spaces or tabs have already been skipped. It is a single line only (so there +are no embedded newlines) and it is 0-terminated. The callback is free to +modify the contents of the buffer. It is only called for lines containing a +command, so this callback is never called for empty lines or comment lines. + +Return true if the command was valid or false if there were syntax errors. + +Implementing the High-Level CEC Adapter +--------------------------------------- + +The low-level operations drive the hardware, the high-level operations are +CEC protocol driven. The following high-level callbacks are available: + +.. code-block:: none + + struct cec_adap_ops { + /* Low-level callbacks */ + ... + + /* Error injection callbacks */ + ... + + /* High-level CEC message callback */ + int (*received)(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct cec_msg *msg); + }; + +The received() callback allows the driver to optionally handle a newly +received CEC message:: + + int (*received)(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct cec_msg *msg); + +If the driver wants to process a CEC message, then it can implement this +callback. If it doesn't want to handle this message, then it should return +-ENOMSG, otherwise the CEC framework assumes it processed this message and +it will not do anything with it. + + +CEC framework functions +----------------------- + +CEC Adapter drivers can call the following CEC framework functions: + +.. c:function:: + int cec_transmit_msg(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct cec_msg *msg, \ + bool block); + +Transmit a CEC message. If block is true, then wait until the message has been +transmitted, otherwise just queue it and return. + +.. c:function:: + void cec_s_phys_addr(struct cec_adapter *adap, u16 phys_addr, bool block); + +Change the physical address. This function will set adap->phys_addr and +send an event if it has changed. If cec_s_log_addrs() has been called and +the physical address has become valid, then the CEC framework will start +claiming the logical addresses. If block is true, then this function won't +return until this process has finished. + +When the physical address is set to a valid value the CEC adapter will +be enabled (see the adap_enable op). When it is set to CEC_PHYS_ADDR_INVALID, +then the CEC adapter will be disabled. If you change a valid physical address +to another valid physical address, then this function will first set the +address to CEC_PHYS_ADDR_INVALID before enabling the new physical address. + +.. c:function:: + void cec_s_phys_addr_from_edid(struct cec_adapter *adap, \ + const struct edid *edid); + +A helper function that extracts the physical address from the edid struct +and calls cec_s_phys_addr() with that address, or CEC_PHYS_ADDR_INVALID +if the EDID did not contain a physical address or edid was a NULL pointer. + +.. c:function:: + int cec_s_log_addrs(struct cec_adapter *adap, \ + struct cec_log_addrs *log_addrs, bool block); + +Claim the CEC logical addresses. Should never be called if CEC_CAP_LOG_ADDRS +is set. If block is true, then wait until the logical addresses have been +claimed, otherwise just queue it and return. To unconfigure all logical +addresses call this function with log_addrs set to NULL or with +log_addrs->num_log_addrs set to 0. The block argument is ignored when +unconfiguring. This function will just return if the physical address is +invalid. Once the physical address becomes valid, then the framework will +attempt to claim these logical addresses. + +CEC Pin framework +----------------- + +Most CEC hardware operates on full CEC messages where the software provides +the message and the hardware handles the low-level CEC protocol. But some +hardware only drives the CEC pin and software has to handle the low-level +CEC protocol. The CEC pin framework was created to handle such devices. + +Note that due to the close-to-realtime requirements it can never be guaranteed +to work 100%. This framework uses highres timers internally, but if a +timer goes off too late by more than 300 microseconds wrong results can +occur. In reality it appears to be fairly reliable. + +One advantage of this low-level implementation is that it can be used as +a cheap CEC analyser, especially if interrupts can be used to detect +CEC pin transitions from low to high or vice versa. + +.. kernel-doc:: include/media/cec-pin.h + +CEC Notifier framework +---------------------- + +Most drm HDMI implementations have an integrated CEC implementation and no +notifier support is needed.

The file Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist.rst has a list +of valid arguments for card. + +If your card isn't listed there, you might check the source code for +new entries which are not listed yet. If there isn't one for your +card, you can check if one of the existing entries does work for you +(just trial and error...). + +Some boards have an extra processor for sound to do stereo decoding +and other nice features. The msp34xx chips are used by Hauppauge for +example. If your board has one, you might have to load a helper +module like ``msp3400`` to make sound work. If there isn't one for the +chip used on your board: Bad luck. Start writing a new one. Well, +you might want to check the video4linux mailing list archive first... + +Of course you need a correctly installed soundcard unless you have the +speakers connected directly to the grabber board. Hint: check the +mixer settings too. ALSA for example has everything muted by default. + + +How sound works in detail +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Still doesn't work? Looks like some driver hacking is required. +Below is a do-it-yourself description for you. + +The bt8xx chips have 32 general purpose pins, and registers to control +these pins. One register is the output enable register +(``BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN``), it says which pins are actively driven by the +bt848 chip. Another one is the data register (``BT848_GPIO_DATA``), where +you can get/set the status if these pins. They can be used for input +and output. + +Most grabber board vendors use these pins to control an external chip +which does the sound routing. But every board is a little different. +These pins are also used by some companies to drive remote control +receiver chips. Some boards use the i2c bus instead of the gpio pins +to connect the mux chip. + +As mentioned above, there is a array which holds the required +information for each known board. You basically have to create a new +line for your board. The important fields are these two:: + + struct tvcard + { + [ ... ] + u32 gpiomask; + u32 audiomux[6]; /* Tuner, Radio, external, internal, mute, stereo */ + }; + +gpiomask specifies which pins are used to control the audio mux chip. +The corresponding bits in the output enable register +(``BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN``) will be set as these pins must be driven by the +bt848 chip. + +The ``audiomux[]`` array holds the data values for the different inputs +(i.e. which pins must be high/low for tuner/mute/...). This will be +written to the data register (``BT848_GPIO_DATA``) to switch the audio +mux. + + +What you have to do is figure out the correct values for gpiomask and +the audiomux array. If you have Windows and the drivers four your +card installed, you might to check out if you can read these registers +values used by the windows driver. A tool to do this is available +from http://btwincap.sourceforge.net/download.html. + +You might also dig around in the ``*.ini`` files of the Windows applications. +You can have a look at the board to see which of the gpio pins are +connected at all and then start trial-and-error ... + + +Starting with release 0.7.41 bttv has a number of insmod options to +make the gpio debugging easier: + + ================= ============================================== + bttv_gpio=0/1 enable/disable gpio debug messages + gpiomask=n set the gpiomask value + audiomux=i,j,... set the values of the audiomux array + audioall=a set the values of the audiomux array (one + value for all array elements, useful to check + out which effect the particular value has). + ================= ============================================== + +The messages printed with ``bttv_gpio=1`` look like this:: + + bttv0: gpio: en=00000027, out=00000024 in=00ffffd8 [audio: off] + + en = output _en_able register (BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN) + out = _out_put bits of the data register (BT848_GPIO_DATA), + i.e. BT848_GPIO_DATA & BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN + in = _in_put bits of the data register, + i.e.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-3-Clause + +.. include:: <isonum.txt> + +MIPI CCS camera sensor driver +============================= + +The MIPI CCS camera sensor driver is a generic driver for `MIPI CCS +<https://www.mipi.org/specifications/camera-command-set>`_ compliant +camera sensors. It exposes three sub-devices representing the pixel array, +the binner and the scaler. + +As the capabilities of individual devices vary, the driver exposes +interfaces based on the capabilities that exist in hardware. + +Pixel Array sub-device +---------------------- + +The pixel array sub-device represents the camera sensor's pixel matrix, as well +as analogue crop functionality present in many compliant devices. The analogue +crop is configured using the ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP`` on the source pad (0) of the +entity. The size of the pixel matrix can be obtained by getting the +``V4L2_SEL_TGT_NATIVE_SIZE`` target. + +Binner +------ + +The binner sub-device represents the binning functionality on the sensor. For +that purpose, selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE`` is supported on the +sink pad (0). + +Additionally, if a device has no scaler or digital crop functionality, the +source pad (1) expses another digital crop selection rectangle that can only +crop at the end of the lines and frames. + +Scaler +------ + +The scaler sub-device represents the digital crop and scaling functionality of +the sensor. The V4L2 selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP`` is used to +configure the digital crop on the sink pad (0) when digital crop is supported. +Scaling is configured using selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE`` on the +sink pad (0) as well. + +Additionally, if the scaler sub-device exists, its source pad (1) exposes +another digital crop selection rectangle that can only crop at the end of the +lines and frames. + +Digital and analogue crop +------------------------- + +Digital crop functionality is referred to as cropping that effectively works by +dropping some data on the floor. Analogue crop, on the other hand, means that +the cropped information is never retrieved. In case of camera sensors, the +analogue data is never read from the pixel matrix that are outside the +configured selection rectangle that designates crop. The difference has an +effect in device timing and likely also in power consumption. + +Register definition generator +----------------------------- + +The ccs-regs.asc file contains MIPI CCS register definitions that are used +to produce C source code files for definitions that can be better used by +programs written in C language. As there are many dependencies between the +produced files, please do not modify them manually as it's error-prone and +in vain, but instead change the script producing them. + +Usage +~~~~~ + +Conventionally the script is called this way to update the CCS driver +definitions: + +.. code-block:: none + + $ Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/ccs/mk-ccs-regs -k \ + -e drivers/media/i2c/ccs/ccs-regs.h \ + -L drivers/media/i2c/ccs/ccs-limits.h \ + -l drivers/media/i2c/ccs/ccs-limits.c \ + -c Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/ccs/ccs-regs.asc + +CCS PLL calculator +================== + +The CCS PLL calculator is used to compute the PLL configuration, given sensor's +capabilities as well as board configuration and user specified configuration. As +the configuration space that encompasses all these configurations is vast, the +PLL calculator isn't entirely trivial.

See cpia2.sf.net for 2.4 support. + +Programmer's overview of cpia2 driver +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Cpia2 is the second generation video coprocessor from VLSI Vision Ltd (now a +division of ST Microelectronics). There are two versions. The first is the +STV0672, which is capable of up to 30 frames per second (fps) in frame sizes +up to CIF, and 15 fps for VGA frames. The STV0676 is an improved version, +which can handle up to 30 fps VGA. Both coprocessors can be attached to two +CMOS sensors - the vvl6410 CIF sensor and the vvl6500 VGA sensor. These will +be referred to as the 410 and the 500 sensors, or the CIF and VGA sensors. + +The two chipsets operate almost identically. The core is an 8051 processor, +running two different versions of firmware. The 672 runs the VP4 video +processor code, the 676 runs VP5. There are a few differences in register +mappings for the two chips. In these cases, the symbols defined in the +header files are marked with VP4 or VP5 as part of the symbol name. + +The cameras appear externally as three sets of registers. Setting register +values is the only way to control the camera. Some settings are +interdependant, such as the sequence required to power up the camera. I will +try to make note of all of these cases. + +The register sets are called blocks. Block 0 is the system block. This +section is always powered on when the camera is plugged in. It contains +registers that control housekeeping functions such as powering up the video +processor. The video processor is the VP block. These registers control +how the video from the sensor is processed. Examples are timing registers, +user mode (vga, qvga), scaling, cropping, framerates, and so on. The last +block is the video compressor (VC). The video stream sent from the camera is +compressed as Motion JPEG (JPEGA). The VC controls all of the compression +parameters. Looking at the file cpia2_registers.h, you can get a full view +of these registers and the possible values for most of them. + +One or more registers can be set or read by sending a usb control message to +the camera. There are three modes for this. Block mode requests a number +of contiguous registers. Random mode reads or writes random registers with +a tuple structure containing address/value pairs. The repeat mode is only +used by VP4 to load a firmware patch. It contains a starting address and +a sequence of bytes to be written into a gpio port. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/cx2341x-devel.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/cx2341x-devel.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..97699df6e --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/cx2341x-devel.rst @@ -0,0 +1,3685 @@ +..

The +mailboxes are basically a fixed length array that serves as the call-stack. + +Firmware mailboxes can be located by searching the encoder and decoder memory +for a 16 byte signature. That signature will be located on a 256-byte boundary. + +Signature: + +.. code-block:: none + + 0x78, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12, 0x12, 0x78, 0x56, 0x34, + 0x34, 0x12, 0x78, 0x56, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12, 0x78 + +The firmware implements 20 mailboxes of 20 32-bit words. The first 10 are +reserved for API calls. The second 10 are used by the firmware for event +notification. + + ====== ================= + Index Name + ====== ================= + 0 Flags + 1 Command + 2 Return value + 3 Timeout + 4-19 Parameter/Result + ====== ================= + + +The flags are defined in the following table. The direction is from the +perspective of the firmware. + + ==== ========== ============================================ + Bit Direction Purpose + ==== ========== ============================================ + 2 O Firmware has processed the command. + 1 I Driver has finished setting the parameters. + 0 I Driver is using this mailbox. + ==== ========== ============================================ + +The command is a 32-bit enumerator. The API specifics may be found in this +chapter. + +The return value is a 32-bit enumerator. Only two values are currently defined: + +- 0=success +- -1=command undefined. + +There are 16 parameters/results 32-bit fields. The driver populates these fields +with values for all the parameters required by the call. The driver overwrites +these fields with result values returned by the call. + +The timeout value protects the card from a hung driver thread. If the driver +doesn't handle the completed call within the timeout specified, the firmware +will reset that mailbox. + +To make an API call, the driver iterates over each mailbox looking for the +first one available (bit 0 has been cleared). The driver sets that bit, fills +in the command enumerator, the timeout value and any required parameters. The +driver then sets the parameter ready bit (bit 1). The firmware scans the +mailboxes for pending commands, processes them, sets the result code, populates +the result value array with that call's return values and sets the call +complete bit (bit 2). Once bit 2 is set, the driver should retrieve the results +and clear all the flags. If the driver does not perform this task within the +time set in the timeout register, the firmware will reset that mailbox. + +Event notifications are sent from the firmware to the host. The host tells the +firmware which events it is interested in via an API call. That call tells the +firmware which notification mailbox to use. The firmware signals the host via +an interrupt. Only the 16 Results fields are used, the Flags, Command, Return +value and Timeout words are not used. + + +OSD firmware API description +---------------------------- + +.. note:: this API is part of

There will be mistakes +and omissions. Some registers have no obvious effect so it's hard to say what +they do, while others interact with each other, or require a certain load +sequence. Horizontal filter setup is one example, with six registers working +in unison and requiring a certain load sequence to correctly configure. The +indexed colour palette is much easier to set at just two registers, but again +it requires a certain load sequence. + +Some registers are fussy about what they are set to. Load in a bad value & the +decoder will fail. A firmware reload will often recover, but sometimes a reset +is required. For registers containing size information, setting them to 0 is +generally a bad idea. For other control registers i.e. 2878, you'll only find +out what values are bad when it hangs. + +.. code-block:: none + + -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + 2800 + bit 0 + Decoder enable + 0 = disable + 1 = enable + -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + 2804 + bits 0:31 + Decoder horizontal Y alias register 1 + --------------- + 2808 + bits 0:31 + Decoder horizontal Y alias register 2 + --------------- + 280C + bits 0:31 + Decoder horizontal Y alias register 3 + --------------- + 2810 + bits 0:31 + Decoder horizontal Y alias register 4 + --------------- + 2814 + bits 0:31 + Decoder horizontal Y alias register 5 + --------------- + 2818 + bits 0:31 + Decoder horizontal Y alias trigger + + These six registers control the horizontal aliasing filter for the Y plane. + The first five registers must all be loaded before accessing the trigger + (2818), as this register actually clocks the data through for the first + five. + + To correctly program set the filter, this whole procedure must be done 16 + times.

This means it has a DMA +engine to efficiently transfer large volumes of data between the card and main +memory without requiring help from a CPU. Like most hardware, it must operate +on contiguous physical memory. This is difficult to come by in large quantities +on virtual memory machines. + +Therefore, it also supports a technique called "scatter-gather". The card can +transfer multiple buffers in one operation. Instead of allocating one large +contiguous buffer, the driver can allocate several smaller buffers. + +In practice, I've seen the average transfer to be roughly 80K, but transfers +above 128K were not uncommon, particularly at startup. The 128K figure is +important, because that is the largest block that the kernel can normally +allocate. Even still, 128K blocks are hard to come by, so the driver writer is +urged to choose a smaller block size and learn the scatter-gather technique. + +Mailbox #10 is reserved for DMA transfer information. + +Note: the hardware expects little-endian data ('intel format'). + +Flow +~~~~ + +This section describes, in general, the order of events when handling DMA +transfers. Detailed information follows this section. + +- The card raises the Encoder interrupt. +- The driver reads the transfer type, offset and size from Mailbox #10. +- The driver constructs the scatter-gather array from enough free dma buffers + to cover the size. +- The driver schedules the DMA transfer via the ScheduleDMAtoHost API call. +- The card raises the DMA Complete interrupt. +- The driver checks the DMA status register for any errors. +- The driver post-processes the newly transferred buffers. + +NOTE! It is possible that the Encoder and DMA Complete interrupts get raised +simultaneously. (End of the last, start of the next, etc.) + +Mailbox #10 +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The Flags, Command, Return Value and Timeout fields are ignored. + +- Name: Mailbox #10 +- Results[0]: Type: 0: MPEG. +- Results[1]: Offset: The position relative to the card's memory space. +- Results[2]: Size: The exact number of bytes to transfer. + +My speculation is that since the StartCapture API has a capture type of "RAW" +available, that the type field will have other values that correspond to YUV +and PCM data. + +Scatter-Gather Array +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The scatter-gather array is a contiguously allocated block of memory that +tells the card the source and destination of each data-block to transfer. +Card "addresses" are derived from the offset supplied by Mailbox #10. Host +addresses are the physical memory location of the target DMA buffer. + +Each S-G array element is a struct of three 32-bit words. The first word is +the source address, the second is the destination address. Both take up the +entire 32 bits. The lowest 18 bits of the third word is the transfer byte +count. The high-bit of the third word is the "last" flag. The last-flag tells +the card to raise the DMA_DONE interrupt. From hard personal experience, if +you forget to set this bit, the card will still "work" but the stream will +most likely get corrupted. + +The transfer count must be a multiple of 256. Therefore, the driver will need +to track how much data in the target buffer is valid and deal with it +accordingly. + +Array Element: + +- 32-bit Source Address +- 32-bit Destination Address +- 14-bit reserved (high bit is the last flag) +- 18-bit byte count + +DMA Transfer Status +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Register 0x0004 holds the DMA Transfer Status: + +- bit 0: read completed +- bit 1: write completed +- bit 2: DMA read error +- bit 3: DMA write error +- bit 4: Scatter-Gather array error diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/cx88-devel.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/cx88-devel.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..cfe7c03f4 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/cx88-devel.rst @@ -0,0 +1,113 @@ +..

This driver is a work in progress. +Its history started with the reverse-engineering effort by Björn +Danielsson <pvrusb2@dax.nu> whose web page can be found here: +http://pvrusb2.dax.nu/ + +From there Aurelien Alleaume <slts@free.fr> began an effort to +create a video4linux compatible driver. I began with Aurelien's +last known snapshot and evolved the driver to the state it is in +here. + +More information on this driver can be found at: +https://www.isely.net/pvrusb2.html + + +This driver has a strong separation of layers. They are very +roughly: + +1. Low level wire-protocol implementation with the device. + +2. I2C adaptor implementation and corresponding I2C client drivers + implemented elsewhere in V4L. + +3. High level hardware driver implementation which coordinates all + activities that ensure correct operation of the device. + +4. A "context" layer which manages instancing of driver, setup, + tear-down, arbitration, and interaction with high level + interfaces appropriately as devices are hotplugged in the + system. + +5. High level interfaces which glue the driver to various published + Linux APIs (V4L, sysfs, maybe DVB in the future). + +The most important shearing layer is between the top 2 layers. A +lot of work went into the driver to ensure that any kind of +conceivable API can be laid on top of the core driver. (Yes, the +driver internally leverages V4L to do its work but that really has +nothing to do with the API published by the driver to the outside +world.) The architecture allows for different APIs to +simultaneously access the driver. I have a strong sense of fairness +about APIs and also feel that it is a good design principle to keep +implementation and interface isolated from each other. Thus while +right now the V4L high level interface is the most complete, the +sysfs high level interface will work equally well for similar +functions, and there's no reason I see right now why it shouldn't be +possible to produce a DVB high level interface that can sit right +alongside V4L. + +Building +-------- + +To build these modules essentially amounts to just running "Make", +but you need the kernel source tree nearby and you will likely also +want to set a few controlling environment variables first in order +to link things up with that source tree. Please see the Makefile +here for comments that explain how to do that. + +Source file list / functional overview +-------------------------------------- + +(Note: The term "module" used below generally refers to loosely +defined functional units within the pvrusb2 driver and bears no +relation to the Linux kernel's concept of a loadable module.) + +pvrusb2-audio.[ch] - This is glue logic that resides between this + driver and the msp3400.ko I2C client driver (which is found + elsewhere in V4L). + +pvrusb2-context.[ch] - This module implements the context for an + instance of the driver. Everything else eventually ties back to + or is otherwise instanced within the data structures implemented + here. Hotplugging is ultimately coordinated here. All high level + interfaces tie into the driver through this module. This module + helps arbitrate each interface's access to the actual driver core, + and is designed to allow concurrent access through multiple + instances of multiple interfaces (thus you can for example change + the tuner's frequency through sysfs while simultaneously streaming + video through V4L out to an instance of mplayer). + +pvrusb2-debug.h - This header defines a printk() wrapper and a mask + of debugging bit definitions for the various kinds of debug + messages that can be enabled within the driver. + +pvrusb2-debugifc.[ch] - This module implements a crude command line + oriented debug interface into the driver. Aside from being part + of the process for implementing manual firmware extraction (see + the pvrusb2 web site mentioned earlier), probably I'm the only one + who has ever used this. It is mainly a debugging aid. + +pvrusb2-eeprom.[ch] - This is glue logic that resides between this + driver the tveeprom.ko module, which is itself implemented + elsewhere in V4L. + +pvrusb2-encoder.[ch] - This module implements all protocol needed to + interact with the Conexant mpeg2 encoder chip within the pvrusb2 + device. It is a crude echo of corresponding logic in ivtv, + however the design goals (strict isolation) and physical layer + (proxy through USB instead of PCI) are enough different that this + implementation had to be completely different. + +pvrusb2-hdw-internal.h - This header defines the core data structure + in the driver used to track ALL internal state related to control + of the hardware. Nobody outside of the core hardware-handling + modules should have any business using this header. All external + access to the driver should be through one of the high level + interfaces (e.g. V4L, sysfs, etc), and in fact even those high + level interfaces are restricted to the API defined in + pvrusb2-hdw.h and NOT this header. + +pvrusb2-hdw.h - This header defines the full internal API for + controlling the hardware. High level interfaces (e.g. V4L, sysfs) + will work through here. + +pvrusb2-hdw.c - This module implements all the various bits of logic + that handle overall control of a specific pvrusb2 device. + (Policy, instantiation, and arbitration of pvrusb2 devices fall + within the jurisdiction of pvrusb-context not here). + +pvrusb2-i2c-chips-\*.c - These modules implement the glue logic to + tie together and configure various I2C modules as they attach to + the I2C bus. There are two versions of this file. The "v4l2" + version is intended to be used in-tree alongside V4L, where we + implement just the logic that makes sense for a pure V4L + environment. The "all" version is intended for use outside of + V4L, where we might encounter other possibly "challenging" modules + from ivtv or older kernel snapshots (or even the support modules + in the standalone snapshot). + +pvrusb2-i2c-cmd-v4l1.[ch] - This module implements generic V4L1 + compatible commands to the I2C modules. It is here where state + changes inside the pvrusb2 driver are translated into V4L1 + commands that are in turn send to the various I2C modules. + +pvrusb2-i2c-cmd-v4l2.[ch] - This module implements generic V4L2 + compatible commands to the I2C modules. It is here where state + changes inside the pvrusb2 driver are translated into V4L2 + commands that are in turn send to the various I2C modules. + +pvrusb2-i2c-core.[ch] - This module provides an implementation of a + kernel-friendly I2C adaptor driver, through which other external + I2C client drivers (e.g. msp3400, tuner, lirc) may connect and + operate corresponding chips within the pvrusb2 device. It is + through here that other V4L modules can reach into this driver to + operate specific pieces (and those modules are in turn driven by + glue logic which is coordinated by pvrusb2-hdw, doled out by + pvrusb2-context, and then ultimately made available to users + through one of the high level interfaces). + +pvrusb2-io.[ch] - This module implements a very low level ring of + transfer buffers, required in order to stream data from the + device. This module is *very* low level. It only operates the + buffers and makes no attempt to define any policy or mechanism for + how such buffers might be used. + +pvrusb2-ioread.[ch] - This module layers on top of pvrusb2-io.[ch] + to provide a streaming API usable by a read() system call style of + I/O. Right now this is the only layer on top of pvrusb2-io.[ch], + however the underlying architecture here was intended to allow for + other styles of I/O to be implemented with additional modules, like + mmap()'ed buffers or something even more exotic. + +pvrusb2-main.c - This is the top level of the driver. Module level + and USB core entry points are here. This is our "main". + +pvrusb2-sysfs.[ch] - This is the high level interface which ties the + pvrusb2 driver into sysfs. Through this interface you can do + everything with the driver except actually stream data. + +pvrusb2-tuner.[ch] - This is glue logic that resides between this + driver and the tuner.ko I2C client driver (which is found + elsewhere in V4L). + +pvrusb2-util.h - This header defines some common macros used + throughout the driver. These macros are not really specific to + the driver, but they had to go somewhere. + +pvrusb2-v4l2.[ch] - This is the high level interface which ties the + pvrusb2 driver into video4linux.

Benoit <benoits@servicepro.com> + +Date: Dec 14, 1996 + +ACKNOWLEDGMENTS +---------------- + +This document was made based on 'C' code for Linux from Gideon le Grange +(legrang@active.co.za or legrang@cs.sun.ac.za) in 1994, and elaborations from +Frans Brinkman (brinkman@esd.nl) in 1996. The results reported here are from +experiments that the author performed on his own setup, so your mileage may +vary... I make no guarantees, claims or warranties to the suitability or +validity of this information. No other documentation on the AIMS +Lab (http://www.aimslab.com/) RadioTrack card was made available to the +author. This document is offered in the hopes that it might help users who +want to use the RadioTrack card in an environment other than MS Windows. + +WHY THIS DOCUMENT? +------------------ + +I have a RadioTrack card from back when I ran an MS-Windows platform. After +converting to Linux, I found Gideon le Grange's command-line software for +running the card, and found that it was good! Frans Brinkman made a +comfortable X-windows interface, and added a scanning feature. For hack +value, I wanted to see if the tuner could be tuned beyond the usual FM radio +broadcast band, so I could pick up the audio carriers from North American +broadcast TV channels, situated just below and above the 87.0-109.0 MHz range. +I did not get much success, but I learned about programming ioports under +Linux and gained some insights about the hardware design used for the card. + +So, without further delay, here are the details. + + +PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION +-------------------- + +The RadioTrack card is an ISA 8-bit FM radio card. The radio frequency (RF) +input is simply an antenna lead, and the output is a power audio signal +available through a miniature phone plug. Its RF frequencies of operation are +more or less limited from 87.0 to 109.0 MHz (the commercial FM broadcast +band). Although the registers can be programmed to request frequencies beyond +these limits, experiments did not give promising results. The variable +frequency oscillator (VFO) that demodulates the intermediate frequency (IF) +signal probably has a small range of useful frequencies, and wraps around or +gets clipped beyond the limits mentioned above. + + +CONTROLLING THE CARD WITH IOPORT +-------------------------------- + +The RadioTrack (base) ioport is configurable for 0x30c or 0x20c. Only one +ioport seems to be involved. The ioport decoding circuitry must be pretty +simple, as individual ioport bits are directly matched to specific functions +(or blocks) of the radio card. This way, many functions can be changed in +parallel with one write to the ioport. The only feedback available through +the ioports appears to be the "Stereo Detect" bit. + +The bits of the ioport are arranged as follows: + +.. code-block:: none + + MSb LSb + +------+------+------+--------+--------+-------+---------+--------+ + | VolA | VolB | ???? | Stereo | Radio | TuneA | TuneB | Tune | + | (+) | (-) | | Detect | Audio | (bit) | (latch) | Update | + | | | | Enable | Enable | | | Enable | + +------+------+------+--------+--------+-------+---------+--------+ + + +==== ==== ================================= +VolA VolB Description +==== ==== ================================= +0 0 audio mute +0 1 volume + (some delay required) +1 0 volume - (some delay required) +1 1 stay at present volume +==== ==== ================================= + +==================== =========== +Stereo Detect Enable Description +==================== =========== +0 No Detect +1 Detect +==================== =========== + +Results available by reading ioport >60 msec after last port write. + + 0xff ==> no stereo detected, 0xfd ==> stereo detected. + +============================= ============================= +Radio to Audio (path) Enable Description +============================= ============================= +0 Disable path (silence) +1 Enable path (audio produced) +============================= ============================= + +===== ===== ================== +TuneA TuneB Description +===== ===== ================== +0 0 "zero" bit phase 1 +0 1 "zero" bit phase 2 +1 0 "one" bit phase 1 +1 1 "one" bit phase 2 +===== ===== ================== + + +24-bit code, where bits = (freq*40) + 10486188. +The Most Significant 11 bits must be 1010 xxxx 0x0 to be valid. +The bits are shifted in LSb first. + +================== =========================== +Tune Update Enable Description +================== =========================== +0 Tuner held constant +1 Tuner updating in progress +================== =========================== + + +PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES +-------------------- + +.. code-block:: none + + Default: BASE <-- 0xc8 (current volume, no stereo detect, + radio enable, tuner adjust disable) + + Card Off: BASE <-- 0x00 (audio mute, no stereo detect, + radio disable, tuner adjust disable) + + Card On: BASE <-- 0x00 (see "Card Off", clears any unfinished business) + BASE <-- 0xc8 (see "Default") + + Volume Down: BASE <-- 0x48 (volume down, no stereo detect, + radio enable, tuner adjust disable) + wait 10 msec + BASE <-- 0xc8 (see "Default") + + Volume Up: BASE <-- 0x88 (volume up, no stereo detect, + radio enable, tuner adjust disable) + wait 10 msec + BASE <-- 0xc8 (see "Default") + + Check Stereo: BASE <-- 0xd8 (current volume, stereo detect, + radio enable, tuner adjust disable) + wait 100 msec + x <-- BASE (read ioport) + BASE <-- 0xc8 (see "Default") + + x=0xff ==> "not stereo", x=0xfd ==> "stereo detected" + + Set Frequency: code = (freq*40) + 10486188 + foreach of the 24 bits in code, + (from Least to Most Significant): + to write a "zero" bit, + BASE <-- 0x01 (audio mute, no stereo detect, radio + disable, "zero" bit phase 1, tuner adjust) + BASE <-- 0x03 (audio mute, no stereo detect, radio + disable, "zero" bit phase 2, tuner adjust) + to write a "one" bit, + BASE <-- 0x05 (audio mute, no stereo detect, radio + disable, "one" bit phase 1, tuner adjust) + BASE <-- 0x07 (audio mute, no stereo detect, radio + disable, "one" bit phase 2, tuner adjust) diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/rkisp1.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/rkisp1.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..ea336958a --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/rkisp1.rst @@ -0,0 +1,43 @@ +..

It also validates the existing media DVB +APIs, thus helping userspace application writers. + +Currently, it consists of: + +- A fake tuner driver, which will report a bad signal quality if the chosen + frequency is too far away from a table of valid frequencies for a + particular delivery system. + +- A fake demod driver, which will constantly poll the fake signal quality + returned by the tuner, simulating a device that can lose/reacquire a lock + on the signal depending on the CNR levels. + +- A fake bridge driver, which is the module responsible for modprobing the + fake tuner and demod modules and implementing the demux logic. This module + takes parameters at initialization that will dictate how the simulation + behaves. + +- Code reponsible for encoding a valid MPEG Transport Stream, which is then + passed to the bridge driver. This fake stream contains some hardcoded content. + For now, we have a single, audio-only channel containing a single MPEG + Elementary Stream, which in turn contains a SMPTE 302m encoded sine-wave. + Note that this particular encoder was chosen because it is the easiest + way to encode PCM audio data in a MPEG Transport Stream. + +Building vidtv +-------------- +vidtv is a test driver and thus is **not** enabled by default when +compiling the kernel. + +In order to enable compilation of vidtv: + +- Enable **DVB_TEST_DRIVERS**, then +- Enable **DVB_VIDTV** + +When compiled as a module, expect the following .ko files: + +- dvb_vidtv_tuner.ko + +- dvb_vidtv_demod.ko + +- dvb_vidtv_bridge.ko + +Running vidtv +------------- +When compiled as a module, run:: + + modprobe vidtv + +That's it! The bridge driver will initialize the tuner and demod drivers as +part of its own initialization. + +By default, it will accept the following frequencies: + + - 474 MHz for DVB-T/T2/C; + - 11,362 GHz for DVB-S/S2. + +For satellite systems, the driver simulates an universal extended +LNBf, with frequencies at Ku-Band, ranging from 10.7 GHz to 12.75 GHz. + +You can optionally define some command-line arguments to vidtv. + +Command-line arguments to vidtv +------------------------------- +Below is a list of all arguments that can be supplied to vidtv: + +drop_tslock_prob_on_low_snr + Probability of losing the TS lock if the signal quality is bad. + This probability be used by the fake demodulator driver to + eventually return a status of 0 when the signal quality is not + good. + +recover_tslock_prob_on_good_snr: + Probability recovering the TS lock when the signal improves. This + probability be used by the fake demodulator driver to eventually + return a status of 0x1f when/if the signal quality improves. + +mock_power_up_delay_msec + Simulate a power up delay. Default: 0. + +mock_tune_delay_msec + Simulate a tune delay. Default 0. + +vidtv_valid_dvb_t_freqs + Valid DVB-T frequencies to simulate, in Hz. + +vidtv_valid_dvb_c_freqs + Valid DVB-C frequencies to simulate, in Hz. + +vidtv_valid_dvb_s_freqs + Valid DVB-S/S2 frequencies to simulate at Ku-Band, in kHz. + +max_frequency_shift_hz, + Maximum shift in HZ allowed when tuning in a channel. + +si_period_msec + How often to send SI packets. Default: 40ms. + +pcr_period_msec + How often to send PCR packets. Default: 40ms. + +mux_rate_kbytes_sec + Attempt to maintain this bit rate by inserting TS null packets, if + necessary. Default: 4096. + +pcr_pid, + PCR PID for all channels. Default: 0x200. + +mux_buf_sz_pkts, + Size for the mux buffer in multiples of 188 bytes. + +vidtv internal structure +------------------------ +The kernel modules are split in the following way: + +vidtv_tuner.[ch] + Implements a fake tuner DVB driver. + +vidtv_demod.[ch] + Implements a fake demodulator DVB driver. + +vidtv_bridge.[ch] + Implements a bridge driver. + +The MPEG related code is split in the following way: + +vidtv_ts.[ch] + Code to work with MPEG TS packets, such as TS headers, adaptation + fields, PCR packets and NULL packets. + +vidtv_psi.[ch] + This is the PSI generator. PSI packets contain general information + about a MPEG Transport Stream. A PSI generator is needed so + userspace apps can retrieve information about the Transport Stream + and eventually tune into a (dummy) channel. + + Because the generator is implemented in a separate file, it can be + reused elsewhere in the media subsystem. + + Currently vidtv supports working with 5 PSI tables: PAT, PMT, + SDT, NIT and EIT. + + The specification for PAT and PMT can be found in *ISO 13818-1: + Systems*, while the specification for the SDT, NIT, EIT can be found in *ETSI + EN 300 468: Specification for Service Information (SI) in DVB + systems*. + + It isn't strictly necessary, but using a real TS file helps when + debugging PSI tables. Vidtv currently tries to replicate the PSI + structure found in this file: `TS1Globo.ts + <https://tsduck.io/streams/brazil-isdb-tb/TS1globo.ts>`_. + + A good way to visualize the structure of streams is by using + `DVBInspector <https://sourceforge.net/projects/dvbinspector/>`_. + +vidtv_pes.[ch] + Implements the PES logic to convert encoder data into MPEG TS + packets. These can then be fed into a TS multiplexer and eventually + into userspace. + +vidtv_encoder.h + An interface for vidtv encoders. New encoders can be added to this + driver by implementing the calls in this file. + +vidtv_s302m.[ch] + Implements a S302M encoder to make it possible to insert PCM audio + data in the generated MPEG Transport Stream. The relevant + specification is available online as *SMPTE 302M-2007: Television - + Mapping of AES3 Data into MPEG-2 Transport Stream*. + + + The resulting MPEG Elementary Stream is conveyed in a private + stream with a S302M registration descriptor attached. + + This shall enable passing an audio signal into userspace so it can + be decoded and played by media software. The corresponding decoder + in ffmpeg is located in 'libavcodec/s302m.c' and is experimental. + +vidtv_channel.[ch] + Implements a 'channel' abstraction. + + When vidtv boots, it will create some hardcoded channels: + + #. Their services will be concatenated to populate the SDT. + + #. Their programs will be concatenated to populate the PAT + + #. Their events will be concatenated to populate the EIT + + #. For each program in the PAT, a PMT section will be created + + #. The PMT section for a channel will be assigned its streams. + + #. Every stream will have its corresponding encoder polled in a + loop to produce TS packets. + These packets may be interleaved by the muxer and then delivered + to the bridge. + +vidtv_mux.[ch] + Implements a MPEG TS mux, loosely based on the ffmpeg + implementation in "libavcodec/mpegtsenc.c" + + The muxer runs a loop which is responsible for: + + #. Keeping track of the amount of time elapsed since the last + iteration. + + #. Polling encoders in order to fetch 'elapsed_time' worth of data. + + #. Inserting PSI and/or PCR packets, if needed. + + #. Padding the resulting stream with NULL packets if + necessary in order to maintain the chosen bit rate. + + #. Delivering the resulting TS packets to the bridge + driver so it can pass them to the demux. + +Testing vidtv with v4l-utils +---------------------------- + +Using the tools in v4l-utils is a great way to test and inspect the output of +vidtv. It is hosted here: `v4l-utils Documentation +<https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/V4l-utils>`_. + +From its webpage:: + + The v4l-utils are a series of packages for handling media devices. + + It is hosted at http://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git, and packaged + on most distributions. + + It provides a series of libraries and utilities to be used to + control several aspect of the media boards. + + +Start by installing v4l-utils and then modprobing vidtv:: + + modprobe dvb_vidtv_bridge + +If the driver is OK, it should load and its probing code will run.

These statistics are driver-specific and can +be useful during tests. + +The Siano driver is one example of a driver using +debugfs to convey driver-specific statistics to userspace and it can be +used as a reference. + +This should be further enabled and disabled via a Kconfig +option for convenience. + +Add a way to test video +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Currently, vidtv can only encode PCM audio. It would be great to implement +a barebones version of MPEG-2 video encoding so we can also test video. The +first place to look into is *ISO 13818-2: Information technology — Generic +coding of moving pictures and associated audio information — Part 2: Video*, +which covers the encoding of compressed video in MPEG Transport Streams. + +This might optionally use the Video4Linux2 Test Pattern Generator, v4l2-tpg, +which resides at:: + + drivers/media/common/v4l2-tpg/ + + +Add white noise simulation +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The vidtv tuner already has code to identify whether the chosen frequency +is too far away from a table of valid frequencies. For now, this means that +the demodulator can eventually lose the lock on the signal, since the tuner will +report a bad signal quality. + +A nice addition is to simulate some noise when the signal quality is bad by: + +- Randomly dropping some TS packets. This will trigger a continuity error if the + continuity counter is updated but the packet is not passed on to the demux. + +- Updating the error statistics accordingly (e.g. BER, etc). + +- Simulating some noise in the encoded data. + +Functions and structs used within vidtv +--------------------------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_bridge.h + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_channel.h + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_demod.h + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_encoder.h + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_mux.h + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_pes.h + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_psi.h + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_s302m.h + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_ts.h + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_tuner.h + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_common.c + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_tuner.c diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/vimc-devel.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/vimc-devel.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..9e984f914 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/vimc-devel.rst @@ -0,0 +1,15 @@ +..

A quick workaround is to add 'Load "v4l"' to +XF86Config-4 when you use X by default, or to run 'v4l-conf -c <device>' in +one of your startup scripts (normally rc.local) if you don't use X. Both +make sure that the modules are loaded on startup, under the root account. + +What mainboard should I use (or why doesn't my card work) +--------------------------------------------------------- + + +<insert lousy disclaimer here>. In short: good=SiS/Intel, bad=VIA. + +Experience tells us that people with a Buz, on average, have more problems +than users with a DC10+/LML33. Also, it tells us that people owning a VIA- +based mainboard (ktXXX, MVP3) have more problems than users with a mainboard +based on a different chipset. Here's some notes from Andrew Stevens: + +Here's my experience of using LML33 and Buz on various motherboards: + +- VIA MVP3 + - Forget it. Pointless. Doesn't work. +- Intel 430FX (Pentium 200) + - LML33 perfect, Buz tolerable (3 or 4 frames dropped per movie) +- Intel 440BX (early stepping) + - LML33 tolerable. Buz starting to get annoying (6-10 frames/hour) +- Intel 440BX (late stepping) + - Buz tolerable, LML3 almost perfect (occasional single frame drops) +- SiS735 + - LML33 perfect, Buz tolerable. +- VIA KT133(*) + - LML33 starting to get annoying, Buz poor enough that I have up. + +- Both 440BX boards were dual CPU versions. + +Bernhard Praschinger later added: + +- AMD 751 + - Buz perfect-tolerable +- AMD 760 + - Buz perfect-tolerable + +In general, people on the user mailinglist won't give you much of a chance +if you have a VIA-based motherboard. They may be cheap, but sometimes, you'd +rather want to spend some more money on better boards. In general, VIA +mainboard's IDE/PCI performance will also suck badly compared to others. +You'll noticed the DC10+/DC30+ aren't mentioned anywhere in the overview. +Basically, you can assume that if the Buz works, the LML33 will work too. If +the LML33 works, the DC10+/DC30+ will work too. They're most tolerant to +different mainboard chipsets from all of the supported cards. + +If you experience timeouts during capture, buy a better mainboard or lower +the quality/buffersize during capture (see 'Concerning buffer sizes, quality, +output size etc.'). If it hangs, there's little we can do as of now. Check +your IRQs and make sure the card has its own interrupts. + +Programming interface +--------------------- + +This driver conforms to video4linux2. Support for V4L1 and for the custom +zoran ioctls has been removed in kernel 2.6.38. + +For programming example, please, look at lavrec.c and lavplay.c code in +the MJPEG-tools (http://mjpeg.sf.net/). + +Additional notes for software developers: + + The driver returns maxwidth and maxheight parameters according to + the current TV standard (norm). Therefore, the software which + communicates with the driver and "asks" for these parameters should + first set the correct norm. Well, it seems logically correct: TV + standard is "more constant" for current country than geometry + settings of a variety of TV capture cards which may work in ITU or + square pixel format. + +Applications +------------ + +Applications known to work with this driver: + +TV viewing: + +* xawtv +* kwintv +* probably any TV application that supports video4linux or video4linux2. + +MJPEG capture/playback: + +* mjpegtools/lavtools (or Linux Video Studio) +* gstreamer +* mplayer + +General raw capture: + +* xawtv +* gstreamer +* probably any application that supports video4linux or video4linux2 + +Video editing: + +* Cinelerra +* MainActor +* mjpegtools (or Linux Video Studio) + + +Concerning buffer sizes, quality, output size etc. +-------------------------------------------------- + + +The zr36060 can do 1:2 JPEG compression. This is really the theoretical +maximum that the chipset can reach. The driver can, however, limit compression +to a maximum (size) of 1:4. The reason for this is that some cards (e.g. Buz) +can't handle 1:2 compression without stopping capture after only a few minutes. +With 1:4, it'll mostly work. If you have a Buz, use 'low_bitrate=1' to go into +1:4 max. compression mode. + +100% JPEG quality is thus 1:2 compression in practice. So for a full PAL frame +(size 720x576). The JPEG fields are stored in YUY2 format, so the size of the +fields are 720x288x16/2 bits/field (2 fields/frame) = 207360 bytes/field x 2 = +414720 bytes/frame (add some more bytes for headers and DHT (huffman)/DQT +(quantization) tables, and you'll get to something like 512kB per frame for +1:2 compression. For 1:4 compression, you'd have frames of half this size. + +Some additional explanation by Martin Samuelsson, which also explains the +importance of buffer sizes: +-- +> Hmm, I do not think it is really that way. With the current (downloaded +> at 18:00 Monday) driver I get that output sizes for 10 sec: +> -q 50 -b 128 : 24.283.332 Bytes +> -q 50 -b 256 : 48.442.368 +> -q 25 -b 128 : 24.655.992 +> -q 25 -b 256 : 25.859.820 + +I woke up, and can't go to sleep again. I'll kill some time explaining why +this doesn't look strange to me. + +Let's do some math using a width of 704 pixels. I'm not sure whether the Buz +actually use that number or not, but that's not too important right now. + +704x288 pixels, one field, is 202752 pixels. Divided by 64 pixels per block; +3168 blocks per field. Each pixel consist of two bytes; 128 bytes per block; +1024 bits per block. 100% in the new driver mean 1:2 compression; the maximum +output becomes 512 bits per block. Actually 510, but 512 is simpler to use +for calculations. + +Let's say that we specify d1q50. We thus want 256 bits per block; times 3168 +becomes 811008 bits; 101376 bytes per field. We're talking raw bits and bytes +here, so we don't need to do any fancy corrections for bits-per-pixel or such +things. 101376 bytes per field. + +d1 video contains two fields per frame. Those sum up to 202752 bytes per +frame, and one of those frames goes into each buffer. + +But wait a second! -b128 gives 128kB buffers! It's not possible to cram +202752 bytes of JPEG data into 128kB! + +This is what the driver notice and automatically compensate for in your +examples. Let's do some math using this information: + +128kB is 131072 bytes. In this buffer, we want to store two fields, which +leaves 65536 bytes for each field. Using 3168 blocks per field, we get +20.68686868... available bytes per block; 165 bits. We can't allow the +request for 256 bits per block when there's only 165 bits available! The -q50 +option is silently overridden, and the -b128 option takes precedence, leaving +us with the equivalence of -q32. + +This gives us a data rate of 165 bits per block, which, times 3168, sums up +to 65340 bytes per field, out of the allowed 65536. The current driver has +another level of rate limiting; it won't accept -q values that fill more than +6/8 of the specified buffers. (I'm not sure why. "Playing it safe" seem to be +a safe bet. Personally, I think I would have lowered requested-bits-per-block +by one, or something like that.) We can't use 165 bits per block, but have to +lower it again, to 6/8 of the available buffer space: We end up with 124 bits +per block, the equivalence of -q24. With 128kB buffers, you can't use greater +than -q24 at -d1. (And PAL, and 704 pixels width...) + +The third example is limited to -q24 through the same process. The second +example, using very similar calculations, is limited to -q48. The only +example that actually grab at the specified -q value is the last one, which +is clearly visible, looking at the file size. +-- + +Conclusion: the quality of the resulting movie depends on buffer size, quality, +whether or not you use 'low_bitrate=1' as insmod option for the zr36060.c +module to do 1:4 instead of 1:2 compression, etc. + +If you experience timeouts, lowering the quality/buffersize or using +'low_bitrate=1 as insmod option for zr36060.o might actually help, as is +proven by the Buz. + +It hangs/crashes/fails/whatevers!

It is only of interest for Digital TV device driver writers. +The header file for this kABI is named ``demux.h`` and located in +``include/media``. + +The demux kABI should be implemented for each demux in the system. It is +used to select the TS source of a demux and to manage the demux resources. +When the demux client allocates a resource via the demux kABI, it receives +a pointer to the kABI of that resource. + +Each demux receives its TS input from a DVB front-end or from memory, as +set via this demux kABI. In a system with more than one front-end, the kABI +can be used to select one of the DVB front-ends as a TS source for a demux, +unless this is fixed in the HW platform. + +The demux kABI only controls front-ends regarding to their connections with +demuxes; the kABI used to set the other front-end parameters, such as +tuning, are devined via the Digital TV Frontend kABI. + +The functions that implement the abstract interface demux should be defined +static or module private and registered to the Demux core for external +access. It is not necessary to implement every function in the struct +:c:type:`dmx_demux`. For example, a demux interface might support Section filtering, +but not PES filtering. The kABI client is expected to check the value of any +function pointer before calling the function: the value of ``NULL`` means +that the function is not available. + +Whenever the functions of the demux API modify shared data, the +possibilities of lost update and race condition problems should be +addressed, e.g. by protecting parts of code with mutexes. + +Note that functions called from a bottom half context must not sleep. +Even a simple memory allocation without using ``GFP_ATOMIC`` can result in a +kernel thread being put to sleep if swapping is needed.

As an example, it is possible +for the API client to provide several callback functions for receiving TS +packets and no callbacks for PES packets or sections. + +The functions that implement the callback API need not be re-entrant: when +a demux driver calls one of these functions, the driver is not allowed to +call the function again before the original call returns. If a callback is +triggered by a hardware interrupt, it is recommended to use the Linux +bottom half mechanism or start a tasklet instead of making the callback +function call directly from a hardware interrupt. + +This mechanism is implemented by :c:func:`dmx_ts_cb()` and :c:func:`dmx_section_cb()` +callbacks. + +Digital TV Demux device registration functions and data structures +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. kernel-doc:: include/media/dmxdev.h + +High-level Digital TV demux interface +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. kernel-doc:: include/media/dvb_demux.h + +Driver-internal low-level hardware specific driver demux interface +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. kernel-doc:: include/media/demux.h diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/dtv-frontend.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/dtv-frontend.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..ea43cdb5b --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/dtv-frontend.rst @@ -0,0 +1,445 @@ +..

If the driver +doesn't fill its field at struct dvb_frontend_ops, it will default to +``DVBFE_ALGO_SW``, meaning that the dvb-core will do a zigzag when tuning, +e. g. it will try first to use the specified center frequency ``f``, +then, it will do ``f`` + |delta|, ``f`` - |delta|, ``f`` + 2 x |delta|, +``f`` - 2 x |delta| and so on. + +If the hardware has internally a some sort of zigzag algorithm, you should +define a ``.get_frontend_algo`` function that would return ``DVBFE_ALGO_HW``. + +.. note:: + + The core frontend support also supports + a third type (``DVBFE_ALGO_CUSTOM``), in order to allow the driver to + define its own hardware-assisted algorithm. Very few hardware need to + use it nowadays. Using ``DVBFE_ALGO_CUSTOM`` require to provide other + function callbacks at struct dvb_frontend_ops. + +Attaching frontend driver to the bridge driver +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Before using the Digital TV frontend core, the bridge driver should attach +the frontend demod, tuner and SEC devices and call +:c:func:`dvb_register_frontend()`, +in order to register the new frontend at the subsystem. At device +detach/removal, the bridge driver should call +:c:func:`dvb_unregister_frontend()` to +remove the frontend from the core and then :c:func:`dvb_frontend_detach()` +to free the memory allocated by the frontend drivers. + +The drivers should also call :c:func:`dvb_frontend_suspend()` as part of +their handler for the :c:type:`device_driver`.\ ``suspend()``, and +:c:func:`dvb_frontend_resume()` as +part of their handler for :c:type:`device_driver`.\ ``resume()``. + +A few other optional functions are provided to handle some special cases. + +.. _dvbv5_stats: + +Digital TV Frontend statistics +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Introduction +^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Digital TV frontends provide a range of +:ref:`statistics <frontend-stat-properties>` meant to help tuning the device +and measuring the quality of service. + +For each statistics measurement, the driver should set the type of scale used, +or ``FE_SCALE_NOT_AVAILABLE`` if the statistics is not available on a given +time. Drivers should also provide the number of statistics for each type. +that's usually 1 for most video standards [#f2]_. + +Drivers should initialize each statistic counters with length and +scale at its init code. For example, if the frontend provides signal +strength, it should have, on its init code:: + + struct dtv_frontend_properties *c = &state->fe.dtv_property_cache; + + c->strength.len = 1; + c->strength.stat[0].scale = FE_SCALE_NOT_AVAILABLE; + +And, when the statistics got updated, set the scale:: + + c->strength.stat[0].scale = FE_SCALE_DECIBEL; + c->strength.stat[0].uvalue = strength; + +.. [#f2] For ISDB-T, it may provide both a global statistics and a per-layer + set of statistics. On such cases, len should be equal to 4. The first + value corresponds to the global stat; the other ones to each layer, e. g.: + + - c->cnr.stat[0] for global S/N carrier ratio, + - c->cnr.stat[1] for Layer A S/N carrier ratio, + - c->cnr.stat[2] for layer B S/N carrier ratio, + - c->cnr.stat[3] for layer C S/N carrier ratio. + +.. note:: Please prefer to use ``FE_SCALE_DECIBEL`` instead of + ``FE_SCALE_RELATIVE`` for signal strength and CNR measurements. + +Groups of statistics +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +There are several groups of statistics currently supported: + +Signal strength (:ref:`DTV-STAT-SIGNAL-STRENGTH`) + - Measures the signal strength level at the analog part of the tuner or + demod. + + - Typically obtained from the gain applied to the tuner and/or frontend + in order to detect the carrier. When no carrier is detected, the gain is + at the maximum value (so, strength is on its minimal). + + - As the gain is visible through the set of registers that adjust the gain, + typically, this statistics is always available [#f3]_. + + - Drivers should try to make it available all the times, as these statistics + can be used when adjusting an antenna position and to check for troubles + at the cabling. + + .. [#f3] On a few devices, the gain keeps floating if there is no carrier. + On such devices, strength report should check first if carrier is + detected at the tuner (``FE_HAS_CARRIER``, see :c:type:`fe_status`), + and otherwise return the lowest possible value. + +Carrier Signal to Noise ratio (:ref:`DTV-STAT-CNR`) + - Signal to Noise ratio for the main carrier. + + - Signal to Noise measurement depends on the device. On some hardware, it is + available when the main carrier is detected. On those hardware, CNR + measurement usually comes from the tuner (e. g. after ``FE_HAS_CARRIER``, + see :c:type:`fe_status`). + + On other devices, it requires inner FEC decoding, + as the frontend measures it indirectly from other parameters (e. g. after + ``FE_HAS_VITERBI``, see :c:type:`fe_status`). + + Having it available after inner FEC is more common. + +Bit counts post-FEC (:ref:`DTV-STAT-POST-ERROR-BIT-COUNT` and :ref:`DTV-STAT-POST-TOTAL-BIT-COUNT`) + - Those counters measure the number of bits and bit errors after + the forward error correction (FEC) on the inner coding block + (after Viterbi, LDPC or other inner code). + + - Due to its nature, those statistics depend on full coding lock + (e. g. after ``FE_HAS_SYNC`` or after ``FE_HAS_LOCK``, + see :c:type:`fe_status`). + +Bit counts pre-FEC (:ref:`DTV-STAT-PRE-ERROR-BIT-COUNT` and :ref:`DTV-STAT-PRE-TOTAL-BIT-COUNT`) + - Those counters measure the number of bits and bit errors before + the forward error correction (FEC) on the inner coding block + (before Viterbi, LDPC or other inner code). + + - Not all frontends provide this kind of statistics. + + - Due to its nature, those statistics depend on inner coding lock (e. g. + after ``FE_HAS_VITERBI``, see :c:type:`fe_status`). + +Block counts (:ref:`DTV-STAT-ERROR-BLOCK-COUNT` and :ref:`DTV-STAT-TOTAL-BLOCK-COUNT`) + - Those counters measure the number of blocks and block errors after + the forward error correction (FEC) on the inner coding block + (before Viterbi, LDPC or other inner code). + + - Due to its nature, those statistics depend on full coding lock + (e. g. after ``FE_HAS_SYNC`` or after + ``FE_HAS_LOCK``, see :c:type:`fe_status`). + +.. note:: All counters should be monotonically increased as they're + collected from the hardware. + +A typical example of the logic that handle status and statistics is:: + + static int foo_get_status_and_stats(struct dvb_frontend *fe) + { + struct foo_state *state = fe->demodulator_priv; + struct dtv_frontend_properties *c = &fe->dtv_property_cache; + + int rc; + enum fe_status *status; + + /* Both status and strength are always available */ + rc = foo_read_status(fe, &status); + if (rc < 0) + return rc; + + rc = foo_read_strength(fe); + if (rc < 0) + return rc; + + /* Check if CNR is available */ + if (!(fe->status & FE_HAS_CARRIER)) + return 0; + + rc = foo_read_cnr(fe); + if (rc < 0) + return rc; + + /* Check if pre-BER stats are available */ + if (!(fe->status & FE_HAS_VITERBI)) + return 0; + + rc = foo_get_pre_ber(fe); + if (rc < 0) + return rc; + + /* Check if post-BER stats are available */ + if (!(fe->status & FE_HAS_SYNC)) + return 0; + + rc = foo_get_post_ber(fe); + if (rc < 0) + return rc; + } + + static const struct dvb_frontend_ops ops = { + /* ... */ + .read_status = foo_get_status_and_stats, + }; + +Statistics collection +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +On almost all frontend hardware, the bit and byte counts are stored by +the hardware after a certain amount of time or after the total bit/block +counter reaches a certain value (usually programmable), for example, on +every 1000 ms or after receiving 1,000,000 bits. + +So, if you read the registers too soon, you'll end by reading the same +value as in the previous reading, causing the monotonic value to be +incremented too often. + +Drivers should take the responsibility to avoid too often reads.

So, you should use good sense. + +Note that addressing one ``checkpatch.pl`` issue (of any kind) alone may lead +to having longer lines than 80 characters per line. While this is not +strictly prohibited, efforts should be made towards staying within 80 +characters per line. This could include using re-factoring code that leads +to less indentation, shorter variable or function names and last but not +least, simply wrapping the lines. + +In particular, we accept lines with more than 80 columns: + + - on strings, as they shouldn't be broken due to line length limits; + - when a function or variable name need to have a big identifier name, + which keeps hard to honor the 80 columns limit; + - on arithmetic expressions, when breaking lines makes them harder to + read; + - when they avoid a line to end with an open parenthesis or an open + bracket. + +Key Cycle Dates +--------------- + +New submissions can be sent at any time, but if they intend to hit the +next merge window they should be sent before -rc5, and ideally stabilized +in the linux-media branch by -rc6. + +Review Cadence +-------------- + +Provided that your patch is at https://patchwork.linuxtv.org, it should +be sooner or later handled, so you don't need to re-submit a patch. + +Except for bug fixes, we don't usually add new patches to the development +tree between -rc6 and the next -rc1. + +Please notice that the media subsystem is a high traffic one, so it +could take a while for us to be able to review your patches.

This document focus +on the kernel-side implementation of the media framework. + +Abstract media device model +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Discovering a device internal topology, and configuring it at runtime, is one +of the goals of the media framework. To achieve this, hardware devices are +modelled as an oriented graph of building blocks called entities connected +through pads. + +An entity is a basic media hardware building block. It can correspond to +a large variety of logical blocks such as physical hardware devices +(CMOS sensor for instance), logical hardware devices (a building block +in a System-on-Chip image processing pipeline), DMA channels or physical +connectors. + +A pad is a connection endpoint through which an entity can interact with +other entities. Data (not restricted to video) produced by an entity +flows from the entity's output to one or more entity inputs. Pads should +not be confused with physical pins at chip boundaries. + +A link is a point-to-point oriented connection between two pads, either +on the same entity or on different entities. Data flows from a source +pad to a sink pad. + +Media device +^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +A media device is represented by a struct media_device +instance, defined in ``include/media/media-device.h``. +Allocation of the structure is handled by the media device driver, usually by +embedding the :c:type:`media_device` instance in a larger driver-specific +structure. + +Drivers initialise media device instances by calling +:c:func:`media_device_init()`. After initialising a media device instance, it is +registered by calling :c:func:`__media_device_register()` via the macro +``media_device_register()`` and unregistered by calling +:c:func:`media_device_unregister()`. An initialised media device must be +eventually cleaned up by calling :c:func:`media_device_cleanup()`. + +Note that it is not allowed to unregister a media device instance that was not +previously registered, or clean up a media device instance that was not +previously initialised. + +Entities +^^^^^^^^ + +Entities are represented by a struct media_entity +instance, defined in ``include/media/media-entity.h``. The structure is usually +embedded into a higher-level structure, such as +:c:type:`v4l2_subdev` or :c:type:`video_device` +instances, although drivers can allocate entities directly. + +Drivers initialize entity pads by calling +:c:func:`media_entity_pads_init()`. + +Drivers register entities with a media device by calling +:c:func:`media_device_register_entity()` +and unregistered by calling +:c:func:`media_device_unregister_entity()`. + +Interfaces +^^^^^^^^^^ + +Interfaces are represented by a +struct media_interface instance, defined in +``include/media/media-entity.h``. Currently, only one type of interface is +defined: a device node. Such interfaces are represented by a +struct media_intf_devnode. + +Drivers initialize and create device node interfaces by calling +:c:func:`media_devnode_create()` +and remove them by calling: +:c:func:`media_devnode_remove()`. + +Pads +^^^^ +Pads are represented by a struct media_pad instance, +defined in ``include/media/media-entity.h``. Each entity stores its pads in +a pads array managed by the entity driver. Drivers usually embed the array in +a driver-specific structure. + +Pads are identified by their entity and their 0-based index in the pads +array. + +Both information are stored in the struct media_pad, +making the struct media_pad pointer the canonical way +to store and pass link references. + +Pads have flags that describe the pad capabilities and state. + +``MEDIA_PAD_FL_SINK`` indicates that the pad supports sinking data. +``MEDIA_PAD_FL_SOURCE`` indicates that the pad supports sourcing data. + +.. note:: + + One and only one of ``MEDIA_PAD_FL_SINK`` or ``MEDIA_PAD_FL_SOURCE`` must + be set for each pad. + +Links +^^^^^ + +Links are represented by a struct media_link instance, +defined in ``include/media/media-entity.h``. There are two types of links: + +**1. pad to pad links**: + +Associate two entities via their PADs. Each entity has a list that points +to all links originating at or targeting any of its pads. +A given link is thus stored twice, once in the source entity and once in +the target entity. + +Drivers create pad to pad links by calling: +:c:func:`media_create_pad_link()` and remove with +:c:func:`media_entity_remove_links()`. + +**2. interface to entity links**: + +Associate one interface to a Link. + +Drivers create interface to entity links by calling: +:c:func:`media_create_intf_link()` and remove with +:c:func:`media_remove_intf_links()`. + +.. note:: + + Links can only be created after having both ends already created. + +Links have flags that describe the link capabilities and state. The +valid values are described at :c:func:`media_create_pad_link()` and +:c:func:`media_create_intf_link()`. + +Graph traversal +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The media framework provides APIs to iterate over entities in a graph. + +To iterate over all entities belonging to a media device, drivers can use +the media_device_for_each_entity macro, defined in +``include/media/media-device.h``. + +.. code-block:: c + + struct media_entity *entity; + + media_device_for_each_entity(entity, mdev) { + // entity will point to each entity in turn + ... + } + +Drivers might also need to iterate over all entities in a graph that can be +reached only through enabled links starting at a given entity. The media +framework provides a depth-first graph traversal API for that purpose. + +.. note:: + + Graphs with cycles (whether directed or undirected) are **NOT** + supported by the graph traversal API. To prevent infinite loops, the graph + traversal code limits the maximum depth to ``MEDIA_ENTITY_ENUM_MAX_DEPTH``, + currently defined as 16. + +Drivers initiate a graph traversal by calling +:c:func:`media_graph_walk_start()` + +The graph structure, provided by the caller, is initialized to start graph +traversal at the given entity. + +Drivers can then retrieve the next entity by calling +:c:func:`media_graph_walk_next()` + +When the graph traversal is complete the function will return ``NULL``. + +Graph traversal can be interrupted at any moment. No cleanup function call +is required and the graph structure can be freed normally. + +Helper functions can be used to find a link between two given pads, or a pad +connected to another pad through an enabled link +(:c:func:`media_entity_find_link()`, :c:func:`media_pad_remote_pad_first()`, +:c:func:`media_entity_remote_source_pad_unique()` and +:c:func:`media_pad_remote_pad_unique()`). + +Use count and power handling +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Due to the wide differences between drivers regarding power management +needs, the media controller does not implement power management. However, +the struct media_entity includes a ``use_count`` +field that media drivers +can use to track the number of users of every entity for power management +needs. + +The :c:type:`media_entity<media_entity>`.\ ``use_count`` field is owned by +media drivers and must not be +touched by entity drivers. Access to the field must be protected by the +:c:type:`media_device`.\ ``graph_mutex`` lock. + +Links setup +^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Link properties can be modified at runtime by calling +:c:func:`media_entity_setup_link()`. + +Pipelines and media streams +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +A media stream is a stream of pixels or metadata originating from one or more +source devices (such as a sensors) and flowing through media entity pads +towards the final sinks. The stream can be modified on the route by the +devices (e.g. scaling or pixel format conversions), or it can be split into +multiple branches, or multiple branches can be merged. + +A media pipeline is a set of media streams which are interdependent. This +interdependency can be caused by the hardware (e.g. configuration of a second +stream cannot be changed if the first stream has been enabled) or by the driver +due to the software design. Most commonly a media pipeline consists of a single +stream which does not branch. + +When starting streaming, drivers must notify all entities in the pipeline to +prevent link states from being modified during streaming by calling +:c:func:`media_pipeline_start()`. + +The function will mark all the pads which are part of the pipeline as streaming. + +The struct media_pipeline instance pointed to by +the pipe argument will be stored in every pad in the pipeline. +Drivers should embed the struct media_pipeline +in higher-level pipeline structures and can then access the +pipeline through the struct media_pad +pipe field. + +Calls to :c:func:`media_pipeline_start()` can be nested. +The pipeline pointer must be identical for all nested calls to the function. + +:c:func:`media_pipeline_start()` may return an error. In that case, +it will clean up any of the changes it did by itself. + +When stopping the stream, drivers must notify the entities with +:c:func:`media_pipeline_stop()`. + +If multiple calls to :c:func:`media_pipeline_start()` have been +made the same number of :c:func:`media_pipeline_stop()` calls +are required to stop streaming. +The :c:type:`media_entity`.\ ``pipe`` field is reset to ``NULL`` on the last +nested stop call. + +Link configuration will fail with ``-EBUSY`` by default if either end of the +link is a streaming entity. Links that can be modified while streaming must +be marked with the ``MEDIA_LNK_FL_DYNAMIC`` flag. + +If other operations need to be disallowed on streaming entities (such as +changing entities configuration parameters) drivers can explicitly check the +media_entity stream_count field to find out if an entity is streaming. This +operation must be done with the media_device graph_mutex held. + +Link validation +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Link validation is performed by :c:func:`media_pipeline_start()` +for any entity which has sink pads in the pipeline. The +:c:type:`media_entity`.\ ``link_validate()`` callback is used for that +purpose. In ``link_validate()`` callback, entity driver should check +that the properties of the source pad of the connected entity and its own +sink pad match. It is up to the type of the entity (and in the end, the +properties of the hardware) what matching actually means. + +Subsystems should facilitate link validation by providing subsystem specific +helper functions to provide easy access for commonly needed information, and +in the end provide a way to use driver-specific callbacks. + +Media Controller Device Allocator API +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +When the media device belongs to more than one driver, the shared media +device is allocated with the shared struct device as the key for look ups. + +The shared media device should stay in registered state until the last +driver unregisters it. In addition, the media device should be released when +all the references are released. Each driver gets a reference to the media +device during probe, when it allocates the media device. If media device is +already allocated, the allocate API bumps up the refcount and returns the +existing media device. The driver puts the reference back in its disconnect +routine when it calls :c:func:`media_device_delete()`. + +The media device is unregistered and cleaned up from the kref put handler to +ensure that the media device stays in registered state until the last driver +unregisters the media device. + +**Driver Usage** + +Drivers should use the appropriate media-core routines to manage the shared +media device life-time handling the two states: +1. allocate -> register -> delete +2. get reference to already registered device -> delete + +call :c:func:`media_device_delete()` routine to make sure the shared media +device delete is handled correctly. + +**driver probe:** +Call :c:func:`media_device_usb_allocate()` to allocate or get a reference +Call :c:func:`media_device_register()`, if media devnode isn't registered + +**driver disconnect:** +Call :c:func:`media_device_delete()` to free the media_device.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +Remote Controller devices +------------------------- + +Remote Controller core +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The remote controller core implements infrastructure to receive and send +remote controller keyboard keystrokes and mouse events. + +Every time a key is pressed on a remote controller, a scan code is produced. +Also, on most hardware, keeping a key pressed for more than a few dozens of +milliseconds produce a repeat key event. That's somewhat similar to what +a normal keyboard or mouse is handled internally on Linux\ [#f1]_. So, the +remote controller core is implemented on the top of the linux input/evdev +interface. + +.. [#f1] + + The main difference is that, on keyboard events, the keyboard controller + produces one event for a key press and another one for key release. On + infrared-based remote controllers, there's no key release event. Instead, + an extra code is produced to indicate key repeats. + +However, most of the remote controllers use infrared (IR) to transmit signals. +As there are several protocols used to modulate infrared signals, one +important part of the core is dedicated to adjust the driver and the core +system to support the infrared protocol used by the emitter. + +The infrared transmission is done by blinking a infrared emitter using a +carrier. The carrier can be switched on or off by the IR transmitter +hardware. When the carrier is switched on, it is called *PULSE*. +When the carrier is switched off, it is called *SPACE*. + +In other words, a typical IR transmission can be viewed as a sequence of +*PULSE* and *SPACE* events, each with a given duration. + +The carrier parameters (frequency, duty cycle) and the intervals for +*PULSE* and *SPACE* events depend on the protocol. +For example, the NEC protocol uses a carrier of 38kHz, and transmissions +start with a 9ms *PULSE* and a 4.5ms SPACE. It then transmits 16 bits of +scan code, being 8 bits for address (usually it is a fixed number for a +given remote controller), followed by 8 bits of code. A bit "1" is modulated +with 560µs *PULSE* followed by 1690µs *SPACE* and a bit "0" is modulated +with 560µs *PULSE* followed by 560µs *SPACE*. + +At receiver, a simple low-pass filter can be used to convert the received +signal in a sequence of *PULSE/SPACE* events, filtering out the carrier +frequency. Due to that, the receiver doesn't care about the carrier's +actual frequency parameters: all it has to do is to measure the amount +of time it receives *PULSE/SPACE* events. +So, a simple IR receiver hardware will just provide a sequence of timings +for those events to the Kernel. The drivers for hardware with such kind of +receivers are identified by ``RC_DRIVER_IR_RAW``, as defined by +:c:type:`rc_driver_type`\ [#f2]_. Other hardware come with a +microcontroller that decode the *PULSE/SPACE* sequence and return scan +codes to the Kernel. Such kind of receivers are identified +by ``RC_DRIVER_SCANCODE``. + +.. [#f2] + + The RC core also supports devices that have just IR emitters, + without any receivers. Right now, all such devices work only in + raw TX mode. Such kind of hardware is identified as + ``RC_DRIVER_IR_RAW_TX``. + +When the RC core receives events produced by ``RC_DRIVER_IR_RAW`` IR +receivers, it needs to decode the IR protocol, in order to obtain the +corresponding scan code. The protocols supported by the RC core are +defined at enum :c:type:`rc_proto`. + +When the RC code receives a scan code (either directly, by a driver +of the type ``RC_DRIVER_SCANCODE``, or via its IR decoders), it needs +to convert into a Linux input event code. This is done via a mapping +table. + +The Kernel has support for mapping tables available on most media +devices. It also supports loading a table in runtime, via some +sysfs nodes.

What is required depends on the type of the +bus. These are common for both busses. + +Media bus pixel code +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +See :ref:`v4l2-mbus-pixelcode`. + +Link frequency +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The :ref:`V4L2_CID_LINK_FREQ <v4l2-cid-link-freq>` control is used to tell the +receiver the frequency of the bus (i.e. it is not the same as the symbol rate). + +``.s_stream()`` callback +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The struct struct v4l2_subdev_video_ops->s_stream() callback is used by the +receiver driver to control the transmitter driver's streaming state. + + +CSI-2 transmitter drivers +------------------------- + +Pixel rate +^^^^^^^^^^ + +The pixel rate on the bus is calculated as follows:: + + pixel_rate = link_freq * 2 * nr_of_lanes * 16 / k / bits_per_sample + +where + +.. list-table:: variables in pixel rate calculation + :header-rows: 1 + + * - variable or constant + - description + * - link_freq + - The value of the ``V4L2_CID_LINK_FREQ`` integer64 menu item. + * - nr_of_lanes + - Number of data lanes used on the CSI-2 link.

This period +may be as short as 100 µs, during which the receiver observes this state and +proceeds its own part of high speed mode transition. + +Most receivers are capable of autonomously handling this once the software has +configured them to do so, but there are receivers which require software +involvement in observing LP-11 or LP-111 state. 100 µs is a brief period to hit +in software, especially when there is no interrupt telling something is +happening. + +One way to address this is to configure the transmitter side explicitly to LP-11 +or LP-111 mode, which requires support from the transmitter hardware. This is +not universally available. Many devices return to this state once streaming is +stopped while the state after power-on is LP-00 or LP-000. + +The ``.pre_streamon()`` callback may be used to prepare a transmitter for +transitioning to streaming state, but not yet start streaming. Similarly, the +``.post_streamoff()`` callback is used to undo what was done by the +``.pre_streamon()`` callback. The caller of ``.pre_streamon()`` is thus required +to call ``.post_streamoff()`` for each successful call of ``.pre_streamon()``. + +In the context of CSI-2, the ``.pre_streamon()`` callback is used to transition +the transmitter to the LP-11 or LP-111 mode. This also requires powering on the +device, so this should be only done when it is needed. + +Receiver drivers that do not need explicit LP-11 or LP-111 mode setup are waived +from calling the two callbacks. + +Stopping the transmitter +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +A transmitter stops sending the stream of images as a result of +calling the ``.s_stream()`` callback. Some transmitters may stop the +stream at a frame boundary whereas others stop immediately, +effectively leaving the current frame unfinished. The receiver driver +should not make assumptions either way, but function properly in both +cases. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-async.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-async.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..3422330b3 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-async.rst @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +..

And to make +life as easy as possible for the driver developer. + +Note that the control framework relies on the presence of a struct +:c:type:`v4l2_device` for V4L2 drivers and struct v4l2_subdev for +sub-device drivers. + + +Objects in the framework +------------------------ + +There are two main objects: + +The :c:type:`v4l2_ctrl` object describes the control properties and keeps +track of the control's value (both the current value and the proposed new +value). + +:c:type:`v4l2_ctrl_handler` is the object that keeps track of controls.

These are +passed in the last four arguments. These values are driver specific while +control attributes like type, name, flags are all global. The control's +current value will be set to the default value. + +The :c:func:`v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu` function is very similar but it is +used for menu controls. There is no min argument since that is always 0 for +menu controls, and instead of a step there is a skip_mask argument: if bit +X is 1, then menu item X is skipped. + +The :c:func:`v4l2_ctrl_new_int_menu` function creates a new standard +integer menu control with driver-specific items in the menu. It differs +from v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu in that it doesn't have the mask argument and +takes as the last argument an array of signed 64-bit integers that form an +exact menu item list. + +The :c:func:`v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu_items` function is very similar to +v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu but takes an extra parameter qmenu, which is the +driver specific menu for an otherwise standard menu control. A good example +for this control is the test pattern control for capture/display/sensors +devices that have the capability to generate test patterns. These test +patterns are hardware specific, so the contents of the menu will vary from +device to device. + +Note that if something fails, the function will return NULL or an error and +set ctrl_handler->error to the error code. If ctrl_handler->error was already +set, then it will just return and do nothing. This is also true for +v4l2_ctrl_handler_init if it cannot allocate the internal data structure. + +This makes it easy to init the handler and just add all controls and only check +the error code at the end. Saves a lot of repetitive error checking. + +It is recommended to add controls in ascending control ID order: it will be +a bit faster that way. + +3) Optionally force initial control setup: + +.. code-block:: c + + v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup(&foo->ctrl_handler); + +This will call s_ctrl for all controls unconditionally. Effectively this +initializes the hardware to the default control values. It is recommended +that you do this as this ensures that both the internal data structures and +the hardware are in sync. + +4) Finally: implement the :c:type:`v4l2_ctrl_ops` + +.. code-block:: c + + static const struct v4l2_ctrl_ops foo_ctrl_ops = { + .s_ctrl = foo_s_ctrl, + }; + +Usually all you need is s_ctrl: + +.. code-block:: c + + static int foo_s_ctrl(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl) + { + struct foo *state = container_of(ctrl->handler, struct foo, ctrl_handler); + + switch (ctrl->id) { + case V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS: + write_reg(0x123, ctrl->val); + break; + case V4L2_CID_CONTRAST: + write_reg(0x456, ctrl->val); + break; + } + return 0; + } + +The control ops are called with the v4l2_ctrl pointer as argument. +The new control value has already been validated, so all you need to do is +to actually update the hardware registers. + +You're done! And this is sufficient for most of the drivers we have. No need +to do any validation of control values, or implement QUERYCTRL, QUERY_EXT_CTRL +and QUERYMENU. And G/S_CTRL as well as G/TRY/S_EXT_CTRLS are automatically supported. + + +.. note:: + + The remainder sections deal with more advanced controls topics and scenarios. + In practice the basic usage as described above is sufficient for most drivers. + + +Inheriting Sub-device Controls +------------------------------ + +When a sub-device is registered with a V4L2 driver by calling +v4l2_device_register_subdev() and the ctrl_handler fields of both v4l2_subdev +and v4l2_device are set, then the controls of the subdev will become +automatically available in the V4L2 driver as well. If the subdev driver +contains controls that already exist in the V4L2 driver, then those will be +skipped (so a V4L2 driver can always override a subdev control). + +What happens here is that v4l2_device_register_subdev() calls +v4l2_ctrl_add_handler() adding the controls of the subdev to the controls +of v4l2_device. + + +Accessing Control Values +------------------------ + +The following union is used inside the control framework to access control +values: + +.. code-block:: c + + union v4l2_ctrl_ptr { + s32 *p_s32; + s64 *p_s64; + char *p_char; + void *p; + }; + +The v4l2_ctrl struct contains these fields that can be used to access both +current and new values: + +.. code-block:: c + + s32 val; + struct { + s32 val; + } cur; + + + union v4l2_ctrl_ptr p_new; + union v4l2_ctrl_ptr p_cur; + +If the control has a simple s32 type, then: + +.. code-block:: c + + &ctrl->val == ctrl->p_new.p_s32 + &ctrl->cur.val == ctrl->p_cur.p_s32 + +For all other types use ctrl->p_cur.p<something>. Basically the val +and cur.val fields can be considered an alias since these are used so often. + +Within the control ops you can freely use these. The val and cur.val speak for +themselves. The p_char pointers point to character buffers of length +ctrl->maximum + 1, and are always 0-terminated. + +Unless the control is marked volatile the p_cur field points to the +current cached control value. When you create a new control this value is made +identical to the default value. After calling v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup() this +value is passed to the hardware. It is generally a good idea to call this +function. + +Whenever a new value is set that new value is automatically cached. This means +that most drivers do not need to implement the g_volatile_ctrl() op. The +exception is for controls that return a volatile register such as a signal +strength read-out that changes continuously. In that case you will need to +implement g_volatile_ctrl like this: + +.. code-block:: c + + static int foo_g_volatile_ctrl(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl) + { + switch (ctrl->id) { + case V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS: + ctrl->val = read_reg(0x123); + break; + } + } + +Note that you use the 'new value' union as well in g_volatile_ctrl. In general +controls that need to implement g_volatile_ctrl are read-only controls. If they +are not, a V4L2_EVENT_CTRL_CH_VALUE will not be generated when the control +changes. + +To mark a control as volatile you have to set V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_VOLATILE: + +.. code-block:: c + + ctrl = v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&sd->ctrl_handler, ...); + if (ctrl) + ctrl->flags |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_VOLATILE; + +For try/s_ctrl the new values (i.e. as passed by the user) are filled in and +you can modify them in try_ctrl or set them in s_ctrl. The 'cur' union +contains the current value, which you can use (but not change!) as well. + +If s_ctrl returns 0 (OK), then the control framework will copy the new final +values to the 'cur' union. + +While in g_volatile/s/try_ctrl you can access the value of all controls owned +by the same handler since the handler's lock is held. If you need to access +the value of controls owned by other handlers, then you have to be very careful +not to introduce deadlocks. + +Outside of the control ops you have to go through to helper functions to get +or set a single control value safely in your driver: + +.. code-block:: c + + s32 v4l2_ctrl_g_ctrl(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl); + int v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl, s32 val); + +These functions go through the control framework just as VIDIOC_G/S_CTRL ioctls +do. Don't use these inside the control ops g_volatile/s/try_ctrl, though, that +will result in a deadlock since these helpers lock the handler as well. + +You can also take the handler lock yourself: + +.. code-block:: c + + mutex_lock(&state->ctrl_handler.lock); + pr_info("String value is '%s'\n", ctrl1->p_cur.p_char); + pr_info("Integer value is '%s'\n", ctrl2->cur.val); + mutex_unlock(&state->ctrl_handler.lock); + + +Menu Controls +------------- + +The v4l2_ctrl struct contains this union: + +.. code-block:: c + + union { + u32 step; + u32 menu_skip_mask; + }; + +For menu controls menu_skip_mask is used. What it does is that it allows you +to easily exclude certain menu items. This is used in the VIDIOC_QUERYMENU +implementation where you can return -EINVAL if a certain menu item is not +present. Note that VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL always returns a step value of 1 for +menu controls. + +A good example is the MPEG Audio Layer II Bitrate menu control where the +menu is a list of standardized possible bitrates. But in practice hardware +implementations will only support a subset of those. By setting the skip +mask you can tell the framework which menu items should be skipped. Setting +it to 0 means that all menu items are supported. + +You set this mask either through the v4l2_ctrl_config struct for a custom +control, or by calling v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu(). + + +Custom Controls +--------------- + +Driver specific controls can be created using v4l2_ctrl_new_custom(): + +.. code-block:: c + + static const struct v4l2_ctrl_config ctrl_filter = { + .ops = &ctrl_custom_ops, + .id = V4L2_CID_MPEG_CX2341X_VIDEO_SPATIAL_FILTER, + .name = "Spatial Filter", + .type = V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_INTEGER, + .flags = V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_SLIDER, + .max = 15, + .step = 1, + }; + + ctrl = v4l2_ctrl_new_custom(&foo->ctrl_handler, &ctrl_filter, NULL); + +The last argument is the priv pointer which can be set to driver-specific +private data. + +The v4l2_ctrl_config struct also has a field to set the is_private flag. + +If the name field is not set, then the framework will assume this is a standard +control and will fill in the name, type and flags fields accordingly. + + +Active and Grabbed Controls +--------------------------- + +If you get more complex relationships between controls, then you may have to +activate and deactivate controls. For example, if the Chroma AGC control is +on, then the Chroma Gain control is inactive. That is, you may set it, but +the value will not be used by the hardware as long as the automatic gain +control is on. Typically user interfaces can disable such input fields. + +You can set the 'active' status using v4l2_ctrl_activate(). By default all +controls are active. Note that the framework does not check for this flag. +It is meant purely for GUIs. The function is typically called from within +s_ctrl. + +The other flag is the 'grabbed' flag. A grabbed control means that you cannot +change it because it is in use by some resource. Typical examples are MPEG +bitrate controls that cannot be changed while capturing is in progress. + +If a control is set to 'grabbed' using v4l2_ctrl_grab(), then the framework +will return -EBUSY if an attempt is made to set this control. The +v4l2_ctrl_grab() function is typically called from the driver when it +starts or stops streaming. + + +Control Clusters +---------------- + +By default all controls are independent from the others. But in more +complex scenarios you can get dependencies from one control to another. +In that case you need to 'cluster' them: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct foo { + struct v4l2_ctrl_handler ctrl_handler; + #define AUDIO_CL_VOLUME (0) + #define AUDIO_CL_MUTE (1) + struct v4l2_ctrl *audio_cluster[2]; + ... + }; + + state->audio_cluster[AUDIO_CL_VOLUME] = + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&state->ctrl_handler, ...); + state->audio_cluster[AUDIO_CL_MUTE] = + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&state->ctrl_handler, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_cluster(ARRAY_SIZE(state->audio_cluster), state->audio_cluster); + +From now on whenever one or more of the controls belonging to the same +cluster is set (or 'gotten', or 'tried'), only the control ops of the first +control ('volume' in this example) is called. You effectively create a new +composite control. Similar to how a 'struct' works in C. + +So when s_ctrl is called with V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME as argument, you should set +all two controls belonging to the audio_cluster: + +.. code-block:: c + + static int foo_s_ctrl(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl) + { + struct foo *state = container_of(ctrl->handler, struct foo, ctrl_handler); + + switch (ctrl->id) { + case V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME: { + struct v4l2_ctrl *mute = ctrl->cluster[AUDIO_CL_MUTE]; + + write_reg(0x123, mute->val ? 0 : ctrl->val); + break; + } + case V4L2_CID_CONTRAST: + write_reg(0x456, ctrl->val); + break; + } + return 0; + } + +In the example above the following are equivalent for the VOLUME case: + +.. code-block:: c + + ctrl == ctrl->cluster[AUDIO_CL_VOLUME] == state->audio_cluster[AUDIO_CL_VOLUME] + ctrl->cluster[AUDIO_CL_MUTE] == state->audio_cluster[AUDIO_CL_MUTE] + +In practice using cluster arrays like this becomes very tiresome. So instead +the following equivalent method is used: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct { + /* audio cluster */ + struct v4l2_ctrl *volume; + struct v4l2_ctrl *mute; + }; + +The anonymous struct is used to clearly 'cluster' these two control pointers, +but it serves no other purpose. The effect is the same as creating an +array with two control pointers. So you can just do: + +.. code-block:: c + + state->volume = v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&state->ctrl_handler, ...); + state->mute = v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&state->ctrl_handler, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_cluster(2, &state->volume); + +And in foo_s_ctrl you can use these pointers directly: state->mute->val. + +Note that controls in a cluster may be NULL. For example, if for some +reason mute was never added (because the hardware doesn't support that +particular feature), then mute will be NULL. So in that case we have a +cluster of 2 controls, of which only 1 is actually instantiated. The +only restriction is that the first control of the cluster must always be +present, since that is the 'master' control of the cluster. The master +control is the one that identifies the cluster and that provides the +pointer to the v4l2_ctrl_ops struct that is used for that cluster. + +Obviously, all controls in the cluster array must be initialized to either +a valid control or to NULL. + +In rare cases you might want to know which controls of a cluster actually +were set explicitly by the user. For this you can check the 'is_new' flag of +each control. For example, in the case of a volume/mute cluster the 'is_new' +flag of the mute control would be set if the user called VIDIOC_S_CTRL for +mute only. If the user would call VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS for both mute and volume +controls, then the 'is_new' flag would be 1 for both controls. + +The 'is_new' flag is always 1 when called from v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup(). + + +Handling autogain/gain-type Controls with Auto Clusters +------------------------------------------------------- + +A common type of control cluster is one that handles 'auto-foo/foo'-type +controls. Typical examples are autogain/gain, autoexposure/exposure, +autowhitebalance/red balance/blue balance. In all cases you have one control +that determines whether another control is handled automatically by the hardware, +or whether it is under manual control from the user. + +If the cluster is in automatic mode, then the manual controls should be +marked inactive and volatile. When the volatile controls are read the +g_volatile_ctrl operation should return the value that the hardware's automatic +mode set up automatically. + +If the cluster is put in manual mode, then the manual controls should become +active again and the volatile flag is cleared (so g_volatile_ctrl is no longer +called while in manual mode). In addition just before switching to manual mode +the current values as determined by the auto mode are copied as the new manual +values. + +Finally the V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_UPDATE should be set for the auto control since +changing that control affects the control flags of the manual controls. + +In order to simplify this a special variation of v4l2_ctrl_cluster was +introduced: + +.. code-block:: c + + void v4l2_ctrl_auto_cluster(unsigned ncontrols, struct v4l2_ctrl **controls, + u8 manual_val, bool set_volatile); + +The first two arguments are identical to v4l2_ctrl_cluster. The third argument +tells the framework which value switches the cluster into manual mode. The +last argument will optionally set V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_VOLATILE for the non-auto controls. +If it is false, then the manual controls are never volatile. You would typically +use that if the hardware does not give you the option to read back to values as +determined by the auto mode (e.g. if autogain is on, the hardware doesn't allow +you to obtain the current gain value). + +The first control of the cluster is assumed to be the 'auto' control. + +Using this function will ensure that you don't need to handle all the complex +flag and volatile handling. + + +VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS Support +------------------------- + +This ioctl allow you to dump the current status of a driver to the kernel log. +The v4l2_ctrl_handler_log_status(ctrl_handler, prefix) can be used to dump the +value of the controls owned by the given handler to the log. You can supply a +prefix as well. If the prefix didn't end with a space, then ': ' will be added +for you. + + +Different Handlers for Different Video Nodes +-------------------------------------------- + +Usually the V4L2 driver has just one control handler that is global for +all video nodes. But you can also specify different control handlers for +different video nodes. You can do that by manually setting the ctrl_handler +field of struct video_device. + +That is no problem if there are no subdevs involved but if there are, then +you need to block the automatic merging of subdev controls to the global +control handler. You do that by simply setting the ctrl_handler field in +struct v4l2_device to NULL. Now v4l2_device_register_subdev() will no longer +merge subdev controls. + +After each subdev was added, you will then have to call v4l2_ctrl_add_handler +manually to add the subdev's control handler (sd->ctrl_handler) to the desired +control handler. This control handler may be specific to the video_device or +for a subset of video_device's. For example: the radio device nodes only have +audio controls, while the video and vbi device nodes share the same control +handler for the audio and video controls. + +If you want to have one handler (e.g. for a radio device node) have a subset +of another handler (e.g. for a video device node), then you should first add +the controls to the first handler, add the other controls to the second +handler and finally add the first handler to the second. For example: + +.. code-block:: c + + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&radio_ctrl_handler, &radio_ops, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&radio_ctrl_handler, &radio_ops, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_MUTE, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &video_ops, V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &video_ops, V4L2_CID_CONTRAST, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_add_handler(&video_ctrl_handler, &radio_ctrl_handler, NULL); + +The last argument to v4l2_ctrl_add_handler() is a filter function that allows +you to filter which controls will be added. Set it to NULL if you want to add +all controls. + +Or you can add specific controls to a handler: + +.. code-block:: c + + volume = v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &ops, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &ops, V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &ops, V4L2_CID_CONTRAST, ...); + +What you should not do is make two identical controls for two handlers. +For example: + +.. code-block:: c + + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&radio_ctrl_handler, &radio_ops, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_MUTE, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &video_ops, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_MUTE, ...); + +This would be bad since muting the radio would not change the video mute +control. The rule is to have one control for each hardware 'knob' that you +can twiddle. + + +Finding Controls +---------------- + +Normally you have created the controls yourself and you can store the struct +v4l2_ctrl pointer into your own struct. + +But sometimes you need to find a control from another handler that you do +not own. For example, if you have to find a volume control from a subdev. + +You can do that by calling v4l2_ctrl_find: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct v4l2_ctrl *volume; + + volume = v4l2_ctrl_find(sd->ctrl_handler, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME); + +Since v4l2_ctrl_find will lock the handler you have to be careful where you +use it. For example, this is not a good idea: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct v4l2_ctrl_handler ctrl_handler; + + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&ctrl_handler, &video_ops, V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&ctrl_handler, &video_ops, V4L2_CID_CONTRAST, ...); + +...and in video_ops.s_ctrl: + +.. code-block:: c + + case V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS: + contrast = v4l2_find_ctrl(&ctrl_handler, V4L2_CID_CONTRAST); + ... + +When s_ctrl is called by the framework the ctrl_handler.lock is already taken, so +attempting to find another control from the same handler will deadlock. + +It is recommended not to use this function from inside the control ops. + + +Preventing Controls inheritance +------------------------------- + +When one control handler is added to another using v4l2_ctrl_add_handler, then +by default all controls from one are merged to the other. But a subdev might +have low-level controls that make sense for some advanced embedded system, but +not when it is used in consumer-level hardware. In that case you want to keep +those low-level controls local to the subdev. You can do this by simply +setting the 'is_private' flag of the control to 1: + +.. code-block:: c + + static const struct v4l2_ctrl_config ctrl_private = { + .ops = &ctrl_custom_ops, + .id = V4L2_CID_..., + .name = "Some Private Control", + .type = V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_INTEGER, + .max = 15, + .step = 1, + .is_private = 1, + }; + + ctrl = v4l2_ctrl_new_custom(&foo->ctrl_handler, &ctrl_private, NULL); + +These controls will now be skipped when v4l2_ctrl_add_handler is called. + + +V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_CTRL_CLASS Controls +---------------------------------- + +Controls of this type can be used by GUIs to get the name of the control class. +A fully featured GUI can make a dialog with multiple tabs with each tab +containing the controls belonging to a particular control class. The name of +each tab can be found by querying a special control with ID <control class | 1>. + +Drivers do not have to care about this. The framework will automatically add +a control of this type whenever the first control belonging to a new control +class is added. + + +Adding Notify Callbacks +----------------------- + +Sometimes the platform or bridge driver needs to be notified when a control +from a sub-device driver changes. You can set a notify callback by calling +this function: + +.. code-block:: c + + void v4l2_ctrl_notify(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl, + void (*notify)(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl, void *priv), void *priv); + +Whenever the give control changes value the notify callback will be called +with a pointer to the control and the priv pointer that was passed with +v4l2_ctrl_notify. Note that the control's handler lock is held when the +notify function is called. + +There can be only one notify function per control handler. Any attempt +to set another notify function will cause a WARN_ON. + +v4l2_ctrl functions and data structures +--------------------------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: include/media/v4l2-ctrls.h diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-core.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-core.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..1a8c4a5f2 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-core.rst @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +..

The :c:type:`video_device`->vfl_type and + :c:type:`video_device`->vfl_dir fields are used to disable ops that do not + match the type/dir combination. E.g.

This queue pointer is also used by the + :ref:`vb2 <vb2_framework>` helper functions to check for + queuing ownership (i.e. is the filehandle calling it allowed to do the + operation). + +- :c:type:`video_device`->prio: keeps track of the priorities. Used to + implement ``VIDIOC_G_PRIORITY`` and ``VIDIOC_S_PRIORITY``. + If left to ``NULL``, then it will use the struct v4l2_prio_state + in :c:type:`v4l2_device`. If you want to have a separate priority state per + (group of) device node(s), then you can point it to your own struct + :c:type:`v4l2_prio_state`. + +- :c:type:`video_device`->dev_parent: you only set this if v4l2_device was + registered with ``NULL`` as the parent ``device`` struct. This only happens + in cases where one hardware device has multiple PCI devices that all share + the same :c:type:`v4l2_device` core. + + The cx88 driver is an example of this: one core :c:type:`v4l2_device` struct, + but it is used by both a raw video PCI device (cx8800) and a MPEG PCI device + (cx8802). Since the :c:type:`v4l2_device` cannot be associated with two PCI + devices at the same time it is setup without a parent device. But when the + struct video_device is initialized you **do** know which parent + PCI device to use and so you set ``dev_device`` to the correct PCI device. + +If you use :c:type:`v4l2_ioctl_ops`, then you should set +:c:type:`video_device`->unlocked_ioctl to :c:func:`video_ioctl2` in your +:c:type:`v4l2_file_operations` struct. + +In some cases you want to tell the core that a function you had specified in +your :c:type:`v4l2_ioctl_ops` should be ignored. You can mark such ioctls by +calling this function before :c:func:`video_register_device` is called: + + :c:func:`v4l2_disable_ioctl <v4l2_disable_ioctl>` + (:c:type:`vdev <video_device>`, cmd). + +This tends to be needed if based on external factors (e.g. which card is +being used) you want to turns off certain features in :c:type:`v4l2_ioctl_ops` +without having to make a new struct. + +The :c:type:`v4l2_file_operations` struct is a subset of file_operations. +The main difference is that the inode argument is omitted since it is never +used. + +If integration with the media framework is needed, you must initialize the +:c:type:`media_entity` struct embedded in the :c:type:`video_device` struct +(entity field) by calling :c:func:`media_entity_pads_init`: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct media_pad *pad = &my_vdev->pad; + int err; + + err = media_entity_pads_init(&vdev->entity, 1, pad); + +The pads array must have been previously initialized. There is no need to +manually set the struct media_entity type and name fields. + +A reference to the entity will be automatically acquired/released when the +video device is opened/closed. + +ioctls and locking +------------------ + +The V4L core provides optional locking services. The main service is the +lock field in struct video_device, which is a pointer to a mutex. +If you set this pointer, then that will be used by unlocked_ioctl to +serialize all ioctls. + +If you are using the :ref:`videobuf2 framework <vb2_framework>`, then there +is a second lock that you can set: :c:type:`video_device`->queue->lock. If +set, then this lock will be used instead of :c:type:`video_device`->lock +to serialize all queuing ioctls (see the previous section +for the full list of those ioctls). + +The advantage of using a different lock for the queuing ioctls is that for some +drivers (particularly USB drivers) certain commands such as setting controls +can take a long time, so you want to use a separate lock for the buffer queuing +ioctls. That way your ``VIDIOC_DQBUF`` doesn't stall because the driver is busy +changing the e.g. exposure of the webcam. + +Of course, you can always do all the locking yourself by leaving both lock +pointers at ``NULL``. + +If you use the old :ref:`videobuf framework <vb_framework>` then you must +pass the :c:type:`video_device`->lock to the videobuf queue initialize +function: if videobuf has to wait for a frame to arrive, then it will +temporarily unlock the lock and relock it afterwards. If your driver also +waits in the code, then you should do the same to allow other +processes to access the device node while the first process is waiting for +something. + +In the case of :ref:`videobuf2 <vb2_framework>` you will need to implement the +``wait_prepare()`` and ``wait_finish()`` callbacks to unlock/lock if applicable. +If you use the ``queue->lock`` pointer, then you can use the helper functions +:c:func:`vb2_ops_wait_prepare` and :c:func:`vb2_ops_wait_finish`. + +The implementation of a hotplug disconnect should also take the lock from +:c:type:`video_device` before calling v4l2_device_disconnect. If you are also +using :c:type:`video_device`->queue->lock, then you have to first lock +:c:type:`video_device`->queue->lock followed by :c:type:`video_device`->lock. +That way you can be sure no ioctl is running when you call +:c:func:`v4l2_device_disconnect`. + +Video device registration +------------------------- + +Next you register the video device with :c:func:`video_register_device`. +This will create the character device for you. + +.. code-block:: c + + err = video_register_device(vdev, VFL_TYPE_VIDEO, -1); + if (err) { + video_device_release(vdev); /* or kfree(my_vdev); */ + return err; + } + +If the :c:type:`v4l2_device` parent device has a not ``NULL`` mdev field, +the video device entity will be automatically registered with the media +device. + +Which device is registered depends on the type argument. The following +types exist: + +========================== ==================== ============================== +:c:type:`vfl_devnode_type` Device name Usage +========================== ==================== ============================== +``VFL_TYPE_VIDEO`` ``/dev/videoX`` for video input/output devices +``VFL_TYPE_VBI`` ``/dev/vbiX`` for vertical blank data (i.e. + closed captions, teletext) +``VFL_TYPE_RADIO`` ``/dev/radioX`` for radio tuners +``VFL_TYPE_SUBDEV`` ``/dev/v4l-subdevX`` for V4L2 subdevices +``VFL_TYPE_SDR`` ``/dev/swradioX`` for Software Defined Radio + (SDR) tuners +``VFL_TYPE_TOUCH`` ``/dev/v4l-touchX`` for touch sensors +========================== ==================== ============================== + +The last argument gives you a certain amount of control over the device +node number used (i.e. the X in ``videoX``). Normally you will pass -1 +to let the v4l2 framework pick the first free number. But sometimes users +want to select a specific node number. It is common that drivers allow +the user to select a specific device node number through a driver module +option. That number is then passed to this function and video_register_device +will attempt to select that device node number. If that number was already +in use, then the next free device node number will be selected and it +will send a warning to the kernel log. + +Another use-case is if a driver creates many devices. In that case it can +be useful to place different video devices in separate ranges. For example, +video capture devices start at 0, video output devices start at 16. +So you can use the last argument to specify a minimum device node number +and the v4l2 framework will try to pick the first free number that is equal +or higher to what you passed. If that fails, then it will just pick the +first free number. + +Since in this case you do not care about a warning about not being able +to select the specified device node number, you can call the function +:c:func:`video_register_device_no_warn` instead. + +Whenever a device node is created some attributes are also created for you. +If you look in ``/sys/class/video4linux`` you see the devices. Go into e.g. +``video0`` and you will see 'name', 'dev_debug' and 'index' attributes. The +'name' attribute is the 'name' field of the video_device struct. The +'dev_debug' attribute can be used to enable core debugging. See the next +section for more detailed information on this. + +The 'index' attribute is the index of the device node: for each call to +:c:func:`video_register_device()` the index is just increased by 1. The +first video device node you register always starts with index 0. + +Users can setup udev rules that utilize the index attribute to make fancy +device names (e.g. '``mpegX``' for MPEG video capture device nodes). + +After the device was successfully registered, then you can use these fields: + +- :c:type:`video_device`->vfl_type: the device type passed to + :c:func:`video_register_device`. +- :c:type:`video_device`->minor: the assigned device minor number. +- :c:type:`video_device`->num: the device node number (i.e. the X in + ``videoX``). +- :c:type:`video_device`->index: the device index number. + +If the registration failed, then you need to call +:c:func:`video_device_release` to free the allocated :c:type:`video_device` +struct, or free your own struct if the :c:type:`video_device` was embedded in +it. The ``vdev->release()`` callback will never be called if the registration +failed, nor should you ever attempt to unregister the device if the +registration failed. + +video device debugging +---------------------- + +The 'dev_debug' attribute that is created for each video, vbi, radio or swradio +device in ``/sys/class/video4linux/<devX>/`` allows you to enable logging of +file operations. + +It is a bitmask and the following bits can be set: + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{5ex}|L| + +===== ================================================================ +Mask Description +===== ================================================================ +0x01 Log the ioctl name and error code.

This will generate names like +``ivtv0``, ``ivtv1``, etc. If the name ends with a digit, then it will insert +a dash: ``cx18-0``, ``cx18-1``, etc. This function returns the instance number. + +The first ``dev`` argument is normally the ``struct device`` pointer of a +``pci_dev``, ``usb_interface`` or ``platform_device``. It is rare for dev to +be ``NULL``, but it happens with ISA devices or when one device creates +multiple PCI devices, thus making it impossible to associate +:c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>` with a particular parent. + +You can also supply a ``notify()`` callback that can be called by sub-devices +to notify you of events. Whether you need to set this depends on the +sub-device. Any notifications a sub-device supports must be defined in a header +in ``include/media/subdevice.h``. + +V4L2 devices are unregistered by calling: + + :c:func:`v4l2_device_unregister` + (:c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`). + +If the dev->driver_data field points to :c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`, +it will be reset to ``NULL``.

This is usually the case if multiple device drivers use the same +hardware. E.g. the ivtvfb driver is a framebuffer driver that uses the ivtv +hardware.

Such devices are +called 'sub-devices'. + +For a long time the framework was limited to the video_device struct for +creating V4L device nodes and video_buf for handling the video buffers +(note that this document does not discuss the video_buf framework). + +This meant that all drivers had to do the setup of device instances and +connecting to sub-devices themselves. Some of this is quite complicated +to do right and many drivers never did do it correctly. + +There is also a lot of common code that could never be refactored due to +the lack of a framework. + +So this framework sets up the basic building blocks that all drivers +need and this same framework should make it much easier to refactor +common code into utility functions shared by all drivers. + +A good example to look at as a reference is the v4l2-pci-skeleton.c +source that is available in samples/v4l/. It is a skeleton driver for +a PCI capture card, and demonstrates how to use the V4L2 driver +framework. It can be used as a template for real PCI video capture driver. + +Structure of a V4L driver +------------------------- + +All drivers have the following structure: + +1) A struct for each device instance containing the device state. + +2) A way of initializing and commanding sub-devices (if any). + +3) Creating V4L2 device nodes (/dev/videoX, /dev/vbiX and /dev/radioX) + and keeping track of device-node specific data. + +4) Filehandle-specific structs containing per-filehandle data; + +5) video buffer handling. + +This is a rough schematic of how it all relates: + +.. code-block:: none + + device instances + | + +-sub-device instances + | + \-V4L2 device nodes + | + \-filehandle instances + + +Structure of the V4L2 framework +------------------------------- + +The framework closely resembles the driver structure: it has a v4l2_device +struct for the device instance data, a v4l2_subdev struct to refer to +sub-device instances, the video_device struct stores V4L2 device node data +and the v4l2_fh struct keeps track of filehandle instances. + +The V4L2 framework also optionally integrates with the media framework. If a +driver sets the struct v4l2_device mdev field, sub-devices and video nodes +will automatically appear in the media framework as entities. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-mc.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-mc.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..0c352ac58 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-mc.rst @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +..

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +V4L2 sub-devices +---------------- + +Many drivers need to communicate with sub-devices. These devices can do all +sort of tasks, but most commonly they handle audio and/or video muxing, +encoding or decoding. For webcams common sub-devices are sensors and camera +controllers. + +Usually these are I2C devices, but not necessarily. In order to provide the +driver with a consistent interface to these sub-devices the +:c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct (v4l2-subdev.h) was created. + +Each sub-device driver must have a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct. This struct +can be stand-alone for simple sub-devices or it might be embedded in a larger +struct if more state information needs to be stored. Usually there is a +low-level device struct (e.g. ``i2c_client``) that contains the device data as +setup by the kernel. It is recommended to store that pointer in the private +data of :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` using :c:func:`v4l2_set_subdevdata`. That makes +it easy to go from a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` to the actual low-level bus-specific +device data. + +You also need a way to go from the low-level struct to :c:type:`v4l2_subdev`. +For the common i2c_client struct the i2c_set_clientdata() call is used to store +a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` pointer, for other buses you may have to use other +methods. + +Bridges might also need to store per-subdev private data, such as a pointer to +bridge-specific per-subdev private data. The :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` structure +provides host private data for that purpose that can be accessed with +:c:func:`v4l2_get_subdev_hostdata` and :c:func:`v4l2_set_subdev_hostdata`. + +From the bridge driver perspective, you load the sub-device module and somehow +obtain the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` pointer. For i2c devices this is easy: you call +``i2c_get_clientdata()``. For other buses something similar needs to be done. +Helper functions exist for sub-devices on an I2C bus that do most of this +tricky work for you. + +Each :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` contains function pointers that sub-device drivers +can implement (or leave ``NULL`` if it is not applicable). Since sub-devices can +do so many different things and you do not want to end up with a huge ops struct +of which only a handful of ops are commonly implemented, the function pointers +are sorted according to category and each category has its own ops struct. + +The top-level ops struct contains pointers to the category ops structs, which +may be NULL if the subdev driver does not support anything from that category. + +It looks like this: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct v4l2_subdev_core_ops { + int (*log_status)(struct v4l2_subdev *sd); + int (*init)(struct v4l2_subdev *sd, u32 val); + ... + }; + + struct v4l2_subdev_tuner_ops { + ... + }; + + struct v4l2_subdev_audio_ops { + ... + }; + + struct v4l2_subdev_video_ops { + ... + }; + + struct v4l2_subdev_pad_ops { + ... + }; + + struct v4l2_subdev_ops { + const struct v4l2_subdev_core_ops *core; + const struct v4l2_subdev_tuner_ops *tuner; + const struct v4l2_subdev_audio_ops *audio; + const struct v4l2_subdev_video_ops *video; + const struct v4l2_subdev_pad_ops *video; + }; + +The core ops are common to all subdevs, the other categories are implemented +depending on the sub-device. E.g. a video device is unlikely to support the +audio ops and vice versa. + +This setup limits the number of function pointers while still making it easy +to add new ops and categories. + +A sub-device driver initializes the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct using: + + :c:func:`v4l2_subdev_init <v4l2_subdev_init>` + (:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`, &\ :c:type:`ops <v4l2_subdev_ops>`). + + +Afterwards you need to initialize :c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->name with a +unique name and set the module owner. This is done for you if you use the +i2c helper functions. + +If integration with the media framework is needed, you must initialize the +:c:type:`media_entity` struct embedded in the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct +(entity field) by calling :c:func:`media_entity_pads_init`, if the entity has +pads: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct media_pad *pads = &my_sd->pads; + int err; + + err = media_entity_pads_init(&sd->entity, npads, pads); + +The pads array must have been previously initialized. There is no need to +manually set the struct media_entity function and name fields, but the +revision field must be initialized if needed. + +A reference to the entity will be automatically acquired/released when the +subdev device node (if any) is opened/closed. + +Don't forget to cleanup the media entity before the sub-device is destroyed: + +.. code-block:: c + + media_entity_cleanup(&sd->entity); + +If a sub-device driver implements sink pads, the subdev driver may set the +link_validate field in :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_pad_ops` to provide its own link +validation function. For every link in the pipeline, the link_validate pad +operation of the sink end of the link is called. In both cases the driver is +still responsible for validating the correctness of the format configuration +between sub-devices and video nodes. + +If link_validate op is not set, the default function +:c:func:`v4l2_subdev_link_validate_default` is used instead. This function +ensures that width, height and the media bus pixel code are equal on both source +and sink of the link. Subdev drivers are also free to use this function to +perform the checks mentioned above in addition to their own checks. + +Subdev registration +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +There are currently two ways to register subdevices with the V4L2 core. The +first (traditional) possibility is to have subdevices registered by bridge +drivers. This can be done when the bridge driver has the complete information +about subdevices connected to it and knows exactly when to register them. This +is typically the case for internal subdevices, like video data processing units +within SoCs or complex PCI(e) boards, camera sensors in USB cameras or connected +to SoCs, which pass information about them to bridge drivers, usually in their +platform data. + +There are however also situations where subdevices have to be registered +asynchronously to bridge devices. An example of such a configuration is a Device +Tree based system where information about subdevices is made available to the +system independently from the bridge devices, e.g. when subdevices are defined +in DT as I2C device nodes. The API used in this second case is described further +below. + +Using one or the other registration method only affects the probing process, the +run-time bridge-subdevice interaction is in both cases the same. + +In the **synchronous** case a device (bridge) driver needs to register the +:c:type:`v4l2_subdev` with the v4l2_device: + + :c:func:`v4l2_device_register_subdev <v4l2_device_register_subdev>` + (:c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`, :c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`). + +This can fail if the subdev module disappeared before it could be registered. +After this function was called successfully the subdev->dev field points to +the :c:type:`v4l2_device`. + +If the v4l2_device parent device has a non-NULL mdev field, the sub-device +entity will be automatically registered with the media device. + +You can unregister a sub-device using: + + :c:func:`v4l2_device_unregister_subdev <v4l2_device_unregister_subdev>` + (:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`). + + +Afterwards the subdev module can be unloaded and +:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->dev == ``NULL``. + +In the **asynchronous** case subdevice probing can be invoked independently of +the bridge driver availability. The subdevice driver then has to verify whether +all the requirements for a successful probing are satisfied. This can include a +check for a master clock availability. If any of the conditions aren't satisfied +the driver might decide to return ``-EPROBE_DEFER`` to request further reprobing +attempts. Once all conditions are met the subdevice shall be registered using +the :c:func:`v4l2_async_register_subdev` function. Unregistration is +performed using the :c:func:`v4l2_async_unregister_subdev` call. Subdevices +registered this way are stored in a global list of subdevices, ready to be +picked up by bridge drivers. + +Bridge drivers in turn have to register a notifier object. This is +performed using the :c:func:`v4l2_async_nf_register` call. To +unregister the notifier the driver has to call +:c:func:`v4l2_async_nf_unregister`. The former of the two functions +takes two arguments: a pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_device` and a +pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_async_notifier`. + +Before registering the notifier, bridge drivers must do two things: first, the +notifier must be initialized using the :c:func:`v4l2_async_nf_init`. +Second, bridge drivers can then begin to form a list of subdevice descriptors +that the bridge device needs for its operation. Several functions are available +to add subdevice descriptors to a notifier, depending on the type of device and +the needs of the driver. + +:c:func:`v4l2_async_nf_add_fwnode_remote` and +:c:func:`v4l2_async_nf_add_i2c` are for bridge and ISP drivers for +registering their async sub-devices with the notifier. + +:c:func:`v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor` is a helper function for +sensor drivers registering their own async sub-device, but it also registers a +notifier and further registers async sub-devices for lens and flash devices +found in firmware. The notifier for the sub-device is unregistered with the +async sub-device. + +These functions allocate an async sub-device descriptor which is of type struct +:c:type:`v4l2_async_subdev` embedded in a driver-specific struct. The &struct +:c:type:`v4l2_async_subdev` shall be the first member of this struct: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct my_async_subdev { + struct v4l2_async_subdev asd; + ... + }; + + struct my_async_subdev *my_asd; + struct fwnode_handle *ep; + + ... + + my_asd = v4l2_async_nf_add_fwnode_remote(¬ifier, ep, + struct my_async_subdev); + fwnode_handle_put(ep); + + if (IS_ERR(asd)) + return PTR_ERR(asd); + +The V4L2 core will then use these descriptors to match asynchronously +registered subdevices to them. If a match is detected the ``.bound()`` +notifier callback is called. After all subdevices have been located the +.complete() callback is called. When a subdevice is removed from the +system the .unbind() method is called. All three callbacks are optional. + +Drivers can store any type of custom data in their driver-specific +:c:type:`v4l2_async_subdev` wrapper. If any of that data requires special +handling when the structure is freed, drivers must implement the ``.destroy()`` +notifier callback. The framework will call it right before freeing the +:c:type:`v4l2_async_subdev`. + +Calling subdev operations +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The advantage of using :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` is that it is a generic struct and +does not contain any knowledge about the underlying hardware. So a driver might +contain several subdevs that use an I2C bus, but also a subdev that is +controlled through GPIO pins. This distinction is only relevant when setting +up the device, but once the subdev is registered it is completely transparent. + +Once the subdev has been registered you can call an ops function either +directly: + +.. code-block:: c + + err = sd->ops->core->g_std(sd, &norm); + +but it is better and easier to use this macro: + +.. code-block:: c + + err = v4l2_subdev_call(sd, core, g_std, &norm); + +The macro will do the right ``NULL`` pointer checks and returns ``-ENODEV`` +if :c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>` is ``NULL``, ``-ENOIOCTLCMD`` if either +:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->core or :c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->core->g_std is ``NULL``, or the actual result of the +:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->ops->core->g_std ops. + +It is also possible to call all or a subset of the sub-devices: + +.. code-block:: c + + v4l2_device_call_all(v4l2_dev, 0, core, g_std, &norm); + +Any subdev that does not support this ops is skipped and error results are +ignored. If you want to check for errors use this: + +.. code-block:: c + + err = v4l2_device_call_until_err(v4l2_dev, 0, core, g_std, &norm); + +Any error except ``-ENOIOCTLCMD`` will exit the loop with that error. If no +errors (except ``-ENOIOCTLCMD``) occurred, then 0 is returned. + +The second argument to both calls is a group ID. If 0, then all subdevs are +called. If non-zero, then only those whose group ID match that value will +be called. Before a bridge driver registers a subdev it can set +:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->grp_id to whatever value it wants (it's 0 by +default). This value is owned by the bridge driver and the sub-device driver +will never modify or use it. + +The group ID gives the bridge driver more control how callbacks are called. +For example, there may be multiple audio chips on a board, each capable of +changing the volume. But usually only one will actually be used when the +user want to change the volume. You can set the group ID for that subdev to +e.g. AUDIO_CONTROLLER and specify that as the group ID value when calling +``v4l2_device_call_all()``. That ensures that it will only go to the subdev +that needs it. + +If the sub-device needs to notify its v4l2_device parent of an event, then +it can call ``v4l2_subdev_notify(sd, notification, arg)``. This macro checks +whether there is a ``notify()`` callback defined and returns ``-ENODEV`` if not. +Otherwise the result of the ``notify()`` call is returned. + +V4L2 sub-device userspace API +----------------------------- + +Bridge drivers traditionally expose one or multiple video nodes to userspace, +and control subdevices through the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_ops` operations in +response to video node operations. This hides the complexity of the underlying +hardware from applications. For complex devices, finer-grained control of the +device than what the video nodes offer may be required. In those cases, bridge +drivers that implement :ref:`the media controller API <media_controller>` may +opt for making the subdevice operations directly accessible from userpace. + +Device nodes named ``v4l-subdev``\ *X* can be created in ``/dev`` to access +sub-devices directly. If a sub-device supports direct userspace configuration +it must set the ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_HAS_DEVNODE`` flag before being registered. + +After registering sub-devices, the :c:type:`v4l2_device` driver can create +device nodes for all registered sub-devices marked with +``V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_HAS_DEVNODE`` by calling +:c:func:`v4l2_device_register_subdev_nodes`. Those device nodes will be +automatically removed when sub-devices are unregistered. + +The device node handles a subset of the V4L2 API. + +``VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL``, +``VIDIOC_QUERYMENU``, +``VIDIOC_G_CTRL``, +``VIDIOC_S_CTRL``, +``VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS``, +``VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS`` and +``VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS``: + + The controls ioctls are identical to the ones defined in V4L2. They + behave identically, with the only exception that they deal only with + controls implemented in the sub-device. Depending on the driver, those + controls can be also be accessed through one (or several) V4L2 device + nodes. + +``VIDIOC_DQEVENT``, +``VIDIOC_SUBSCRIBE_EVENT`` and +``VIDIOC_UNSUBSCRIBE_EVENT`` + + The events ioctls are identical to the ones defined in V4L2. They + behave identically, with the only exception that they deal only with + events generated by the sub-device. Depending on the driver, those + events can also be reported by one (or several) V4L2 device nodes. + + Sub-device drivers that want to use events need to set the + ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_HAS_EVENTS`` :c:type:`v4l2_subdev`.flags before registering + the sub-device. After registration events can be queued as usual on the + :c:type:`v4l2_subdev`.devnode device node. + + To properly support events, the ``poll()`` file operation is also + implemented. + +Private ioctls + + All ioctls not in the above list are passed directly to the sub-device + driver through the core::ioctl operation. + +Read-only sub-device userspace API +---------------------------------- + +Bridge drivers that control their connected subdevices through direct calls to +the kernel API realized by :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_ops` structure do not usually +want userspace to be able to change the same parameters through the subdevice +device node and thus do not usually register any. + +It is sometimes useful to report to userspace the current subdevice +configuration through a read-only API, that does not permit applications to +change to the device parameters but allows interfacing to the subdevice device +node to inspect them. + +For instance, to implement cameras based on computational photography, userspace +needs to know the detailed camera sensor configuration (in terms of skipping, +binning, cropping and scaling) for each supported output resolution. To support +such use cases, bridge drivers may expose the subdevice operations to userspace +through a read-only API. + +To create a read-only device node for all the subdevices registered with the +``V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_HAS_DEVNODE`` set, the :c:type:`v4l2_device` driver should call +:c:func:`v4l2_device_register_ro_subdev_nodes`. + +Access to the following ioctls for userspace applications is restricted on +sub-device device nodes registered with +:c:func:`v4l2_device_register_ro_subdev_nodes`. + +``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT``, +``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP``, +``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION``: + + These ioctls are only allowed on a read-only subdevice device node + for the :ref:`V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY <v4l2-subdev-format-whence>` + formats and selection rectangles. + +``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FRAME_INTERVAL``, +``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_DV_TIMINGS``, +``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_STD``: + + These ioctls are not allowed on a read-only subdevice node. + +In case the ioctl is not allowed, or the format to modify is set to +``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE``, the core returns a negative error code and +the errno variable is set to ``-EPERM``. + +I2C sub-device drivers +---------------------- + +Since these drivers are so common, special helper functions are available to +ease the use of these drivers (``v4l2-common.h``). + +The recommended method of adding :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` support to an I2C driver +is to embed the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct into the state struct that is +created for each I2C device instance. Very simple devices have no state +struct and in that case you can just create a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` directly. + +A typical state struct would look like this (where 'chipname' is replaced by +the name of the chip): + +.. code-block:: c + + struct chipname_state { + struct v4l2_subdev sd; + ... /* additional state fields */ + }; + +Initialize the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct as follows: + +.. code-block:: c + + v4l2_i2c_subdev_init(&state->sd, client, subdev_ops); + +This function will fill in all the fields of :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` ensure that +the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` and i2c_client both point to one another. + +You should also add a helper inline function to go from a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` +pointer to a chipname_state struct: + +.. code-block:: c + + static inline struct chipname_state *to_state(struct v4l2_subdev *sd) + { + return container_of(sd, struct chipname_state, sd); + } + +Use this to go from the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct to the ``i2c_client`` +struct: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct i2c_client *client = v4l2_get_subdevdata(sd); + +And this to go from an ``i2c_client`` to a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct v4l2_subdev *sd = i2c_get_clientdata(client); + +Make sure to call +:c:func:`v4l2_device_unregister_subdev`\ (:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`) +when the ``remove()`` callback is called. This will unregister the sub-device +from the bridge driver. It is safe to call this even if the sub-device was +never registered. + +You need to do this because when the bridge driver destroys the i2c adapter +the ``remove()`` callbacks are called of the i2c devices on that adapter. +After that the corresponding v4l2_subdev structures are invalid, so they +have to be unregistered first. Calling +:c:func:`v4l2_device_unregister_subdev`\ (:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`) +from the ``remove()`` callback ensures that this is always done correctly. + + +The bridge driver also has some helper functions it can use: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct v4l2_subdev *sd = v4l2_i2c_new_subdev(v4l2_dev, adapter, + "module_foo", "chipid", 0x36, NULL); + +This loads the given module (can be ``NULL`` if no module needs to be loaded) +and calls :c:func:`i2c_new_client_device` with the given ``i2c_adapter`` and +chip/address arguments. If all goes well, then it registers the subdev with +the v4l2_device. + +You can also use the last argument of :c:func:`v4l2_i2c_new_subdev` to pass +an array of possible I2C addresses that it should probe. These probe addresses +are only used if the previous argument is 0. A non-zero argument means that you +know the exact i2c address so in that case no probing will take place. + +Both functions return ``NULL`` if something went wrong. + +Note that the chipid you pass to :c:func:`v4l2_i2c_new_subdev` is usually +the same as the module name. It allows you to specify a chip variant, e.g. +"saa7114" or "saa7115". In general though the i2c driver autodetects this. +The use of chipid is something that needs to be looked at more closely at a +later date. It differs between i2c drivers and as such can be confusing. +To see which chip variants are supported you can look in the i2c driver code +for the i2c_device_id table. This lists all the possibilities. + +There are one more helper function: + +:c:func:`v4l2_i2c_new_subdev_board` uses an :c:type:`i2c_board_info` struct +which is passed to the i2c driver and replaces the irq, platform_data and addr +arguments. + +If the subdev supports the s_config core ops, then that op is called with +the irq and platform_data arguments after the subdev was setup. + +The :c:func:`v4l2_i2c_new_subdev` function will call +:c:func:`v4l2_i2c_new_subdev_board`, internally filling a +:c:type:`i2c_board_info` structure using the ``client_type`` and the +``addr`` to fill it. + +Centrally managed subdev active state +------------------------------------- + +Traditionally V4L2 subdev drivers maintained internal state for the active +device configuration. This is often implemented as e.g. an array of struct +v4l2_mbus_framefmt, one entry for each pad, and similarly for crop and compose +rectangles. + +In addition to the active configuration, each subdev file handle has an array of +struct v4l2_subdev_pad_config, managed by the V4L2 core, which contains the try +configuration. + +To simplify the subdev drivers the V4L2 subdev API now optionally supports a +centrally managed active configuration represented by +:c:type:`v4l2_subdev_state`. One instance of state, which contains the active +device configuration, is stored in the sub-device itself as part of +the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` structure, while the core associates a try state to +each open file handle, to store the try configuration related to that file +handle. + +Sub-device drivers can opt-in and use state to manage their active configuration +by initializing the subdevice state with a call to v4l2_subdev_init_finalize() +before registering the sub-device. They must also call v4l2_subdev_cleanup() +to release all the allocated resources before unregistering the sub-device. +The core automatically allocates and initializes a state for each open file +handle to store the try configurations and frees it when closing the file +handle. + +V4L2 sub-device operations that use both the :ref:`ACTIVE and TRY formats +<v4l2-subdev-format-whence>` receive the correct state to operate on through +the 'state' parameter. The state must be locked and unlocked by the +caller by calling :c:func:`v4l2_subdev_lock_state()` and +:c:func:`v4l2_subdev_unlock_state()`. The caller can do so by calling the subdev +operation through the :c:func:`v4l2_subdev_call_state_active()` macro. + +Operations that do not receive a state parameter implicitly operate on the +subdevice active state, which drivers can exclusively access by +calling :c:func:`v4l2_subdev_lock_and_get_active_state()`. The sub-device active +state must equally be released by calling :c:func:`v4l2_subdev_unlock_state()`. + +Drivers must never manually access the state stored in the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` +or in the file handle without going through the designated helpers. + +While the V4L2 core passes the correct try or active state to the subdevice +operations, many existing device drivers pass a NULL state when calling +operations with :c:func:`v4l2_subdev_call()`. This legacy construct causes +issues with subdevice drivers that let the V4L2 core manage the active state, +as they expect to receive the appropriate state as a parameter. To help the +conversion of subdevice drivers to a managed active state without having to +convert all callers at the same time, an additional wrapper layer has been +added to v4l2_subdev_call(), which handles the NULL case by geting and locking +the callee's active state with :c:func:`v4l2_subdev_lock_and_get_active_state()`, +and unlocking the state after the call. + +The whole subdev state is in reality split into three parts: the +v4l2_subdev_state, subdev controls and subdev driver's internal state. In the +future these parts should be combined into a single state. For the time being +we need a way to handle the locking for these parts. This can be accomplished +by sharing a lock. The v4l2_ctrl_handler already supports this via its 'lock' +pointer and the same model is used with states. The driver can do the following +before calling v4l2_subdev_init_finalize(): + +.. code-block:: c + + sd->ctrl_handler->lock = &priv->mutex; + sd->state_lock = &priv->mutex; + +This shares the driver's private mutex between the controls and the states. + +V4L2 sub-device functions and data structures +--------------------------------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: include/media/v4l2-subdev.h diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-tuner.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-tuner.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..e6caa3321 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-tuner.rst @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +..

Shouldn't + be used on new drivers. + +Introduction +------------ + +The videobuf layer functions as a sort of glue layer between a V4L2 driver +and user space. It handles the allocation and management of buffers for +the storage of video frames. There is a set of functions which can be used +to implement many of the standard POSIX I/O system calls, including read(), +poll(), and, happily, mmap(). Another set of functions can be used to +implement the bulk of the V4L2 ioctl() calls related to streaming I/O, +including buffer allocation, queueing and dequeueing, and streaming +control. Using videobuf imposes a few design decisions on the driver +author, but the payback comes in the form of reduced code in the driver and +a consistent implementation of the V4L2 user-space API. + +Buffer types +------------ + +Not all video devices use the same kind of buffers. In fact, there are (at +least) three common variations: + + - Buffers which are scattered in both the physical and (kernel) virtual + address spaces. (Almost) all user-space buffers are like this, but it + makes great sense to allocate kernel-space buffers this way as well when + it is possible. Unfortunately, it is not always possible; working with + this kind of buffer normally requires hardware which can do + scatter/gather DMA operations. + + - Buffers which are physically scattered, but which are virtually + contiguous; buffers allocated with vmalloc(), in other words. These + buffers are just as hard to use for DMA operations, but they can be + useful in situations where DMA is not available but virtually-contiguous + buffers are convenient. + + - Buffers which are physically contiguous. Allocation of this kind of + buffer can be unreliable on fragmented systems, but simpler DMA + controllers cannot deal with anything else. + +Videobuf can work with all three types of buffers, but the driver author +must pick one at the outset and design the driver around that decision. + +[It's worth noting that there's a fourth kind of buffer: "overlay" buffers +which are located within the system's video memory. The overlay +functionality is considered to be deprecated for most use, but it still +shows up occasionally in system-on-chip drivers where the performance +benefits merit the use of this technique. Overlay buffers can be handled +as a form of scattered buffer, but there are very few implementations in +the kernel and a description of this technique is currently beyond the +scope of this document.] + +Data structures, callbacks, and initialization +---------------------------------------------- + +Depending on which type of buffers are being used, the driver should +include one of the following files: + +.. code-block:: none + + <media/videobuf-dma-sg.h> /* Physically scattered */ + <media/videobuf-vmalloc.h> /* vmalloc() buffers */ + <media/videobuf-dma-contig.h> /* Physically contiguous */ + +The driver's data structure describing a V4L2 device should include a +struct videobuf_queue instance for the management of the buffer queue, +along with a list_head for the queue of available buffers. There will also +need to be an interrupt-safe spinlock which is used to protect (at least) +the queue. + +The next step is to write four simple callbacks to help videobuf deal with +the management of buffers: + +.. code-block:: none + + struct videobuf_queue_ops { + int (*buf_setup)(struct videobuf_queue *q, + unsigned int *count, unsigned int *size); + int (*buf_prepare)(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct videobuf_buffer *vb, + enum v4l2_field field); + void (*buf_queue)(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct videobuf_buffer *vb); + void (*buf_release)(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct videobuf_buffer *vb); + }; + +buf_setup() is called early in the I/O process, when streaming is being +initiated; its purpose is to tell videobuf about the I/O stream. The count +parameter will be a suggested number of buffers to use; the driver should +check it for rationality and adjust it if need be. As a practical rule, a +minimum of two buffers are needed for proper streaming, and there is +usually a maximum (which cannot exceed 32) which makes sense for each +device. The size parameter should be set to the expected (maximum) size +for each frame of data. + +Each buffer (in the form of a struct videobuf_buffer pointer) will be +passed to buf_prepare(), which should set the buffer's size, width, height, +and field fields properly. If the buffer's state field is +VIDEOBUF_NEEDS_INIT, the driver should pass it to: + +.. code-block:: none + + int videobuf_iolock(struct videobuf_queue* q, struct videobuf_buffer *vb, + struct v4l2_framebuffer *fbuf); + +Among other things, this call will usually allocate memory for the buffer. +Finally, the buf_prepare() function should set the buffer's state to +VIDEOBUF_PREPARED. + +When a buffer is queued for I/O, it is passed to buf_queue(), which should +put it onto the driver's list of available buffers and set its state to +VIDEOBUF_QUEUED. Note that this function is called with the queue spinlock +held; if it tries to acquire it as well things will come to a screeching +halt. Yes, this is the voice of experience. Note also that videobuf may +wait on the first buffer in the queue; placing other buffers in front of it +could again gum up the works. So use list_add_tail() to enqueue buffers. + +Finally, buf_release() is called when a buffer is no longer intended to be +used. The driver should ensure that there is no I/O active on the buffer, +then pass it to the appropriate free routine(s): + +.. code-block:: none + + /* Scatter/gather drivers */ + int videobuf_dma_unmap(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct videobuf_dmabuf *dma); + int videobuf_dma_free(struct videobuf_dmabuf *dma); + + /* vmalloc drivers */ + void videobuf_vmalloc_free (struct videobuf_buffer *buf); + + /* Contiguous drivers */ + void videobuf_dma_contig_free(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct videobuf_buffer *buf); + +One way to ensure that a buffer is no longer under I/O is to pass it to: + +.. code-block:: none + + int videobuf_waiton(struct videobuf_buffer *vb, int non_blocking, int intr); + +Here, vb is the buffer, non_blocking indicates whether non-blocking I/O +should be used (it should be zero in the buf_release() case), and intr +controls whether an interruptible wait is used. + +File operations +--------------- + +At this point, much of the work is done; much of the rest is slipping +videobuf calls into the implementation of the other driver callbacks. The +first step is in the open() function, which must initialize the +videobuf queue. The function to use depends on the type of buffer used: + +.. code-block:: none + + void videobuf_queue_sg_init(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct videobuf_queue_ops *ops, + struct device *dev, + spinlock_t *irqlock, + enum v4l2_buf_type type, + enum v4l2_field field, + unsigned int msize, + void *priv); + + void videobuf_queue_vmalloc_init(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct videobuf_queue_ops *ops, + struct device *dev, + spinlock_t *irqlock, + enum v4l2_buf_type type, + enum v4l2_field field, + unsigned int msize, + void *priv); + + void videobuf_queue_dma_contig_init(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct videobuf_queue_ops *ops, + struct device *dev, + spinlock_t *irqlock, + enum v4l2_buf_type type, + enum v4l2_field field, + unsigned int msize, + void *priv); + +In each case, the parameters are the same: q is the queue structure for the +device, ops is the set of callbacks as described above, dev is the device +structure for this video device, irqlock is an interrupt-safe spinlock to +protect access to the data structures, type is the buffer type used by the +device (cameras will use V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE, for example), field +describes which field is being captured (often V4L2_FIELD_NONE for +progressive devices), msize is the size of any containing structure used +around struct videobuf_buffer, and priv is a private data pointer which +shows up in the priv_data field of struct videobuf_queue. Note that these +are void functions which, evidently, are immune to failure. + +V4L2 capture drivers can be written to support either of two APIs: the +read() system call and the rather more complicated streaming mechanism. As +a general rule, it is necessary to support both to ensure that all +applications have a chance of working with the device. Videobuf makes it +easy to do that with the same code. To implement read(), the driver need +only make a call to one of: + +.. code-block:: none + + ssize_t videobuf_read_one(struct videobuf_queue *q, + char __user *data, size_t count, + loff_t *ppos, int nonblocking); + + ssize_t videobuf_read_stream(struct videobuf_queue *q, + char __user *data, size_t count, + loff_t *ppos, int vbihack, int nonblocking); + +Either one of these functions will read frame data into data, returning the +amount actually read; the difference is that videobuf_read_one() will only +read a single frame, while videobuf_read_stream() will read multiple frames +if they are needed to satisfy the count requested by the application. A +typical driver read() implementation will start the capture engine, call +one of the above functions, then stop the engine before returning (though a +smarter implementation might leave the engine running for a little while in +anticipation of another read() call happening in the near future). + +The poll() function can usually be implemented with a direct call to: + +.. code-block:: none + + unsigned int videobuf_poll_stream(struct file *file, + struct videobuf_queue *q, + poll_table *wait); + +Note that the actual wait queue eventually used will be the one associated +with the first available buffer. + +When streaming I/O is done to kernel-space buffers, the driver must support +the mmap() system call to enable user space to access the data. In many +V4L2 drivers, the often-complex mmap() implementation simplifies to a +single call to: + +.. code-block:: none + + int videobuf_mmap_mapper(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct vm_area_struct *vma); + +Everything else is handled by the videobuf code. + +The release() function requires two separate videobuf calls: + +.. code-block:: none + + void videobuf_stop(struct videobuf_queue *q); + int videobuf_mmap_free(struct videobuf_queue *q); + +The call to videobuf_stop() terminates any I/O in progress - though it is +still up to the driver to stop the capture engine. The call to +videobuf_mmap_free() will ensure that all buffers have been unmapped; if +so, they will all be passed to the buf_release() callback. If buffers +remain mapped, videobuf_mmap_free() returns an error code instead. The +purpose is clearly to cause the closing of the file descriptor to fail if +buffers are still mapped, but every driver in the 2.6.32 kernel cheerfully +ignores its return value. + +ioctl() operations +------------------ + +The V4L2 API includes a very long list of driver callbacks to respond to +the many ioctl() commands made available to user space. A number of these +- those associated with streaming I/O - turn almost directly into videobuf +calls. The relevant helper functions are: + +.. code-block:: none + + int videobuf_reqbufs(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct v4l2_requestbuffers *req); + int videobuf_querybuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct v4l2_buffer *b); + int videobuf_qbuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct v4l2_buffer *b); + int videobuf_dqbuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct v4l2_buffer *b, + int nonblocking); + int videobuf_streamon(struct videobuf_queue *q); + int videobuf_streamoff(struct videobuf_queue *q); + +So, for example, a VIDIOC_REQBUFS call turns into a call to the driver's +vidioc_reqbufs() callback which, in turn, usually only needs to locate the +proper struct videobuf_queue pointer and pass it to videobuf_reqbufs(). +These support functions can replace a great deal of buffer management +boilerplate in a lot of V4L2 drivers. + +The vidioc_streamon() and vidioc_streamoff() functions will be a bit more +complex, of course, since they will also need to deal with starting and +stopping the capture engine. + +Buffer allocation +----------------- + +Thus far, we have talked about buffers, but have not looked at how they are +allocated. The scatter/gather case is the most complex on this front. For +allocation, the driver can leave buffer allocation entirely up to the +videobuf layer; in this case, buffers will be allocated as anonymous +user-space pages and will be very scattered indeed. If the application is +using user-space buffers, no allocation is needed; the videobuf layer will +take care of calling get_user_pages() and filling in the scatterlist array. + +If the driver needs to do its own memory allocation, it should be done in +the vidioc_reqbufs() function, *after* calling videobuf_reqbufs(). The +first step is a call to: + +.. code-block:: none + + struct videobuf_dmabuf *videobuf_to_dma(struct videobuf_buffer *buf); + +The returned videobuf_dmabuf structure (defined in +<media/videobuf-dma-sg.h>) includes a couple of relevant fields: + +.. code-block:: none + + struct scatterlist *sglist; + int sglen; + +The driver must allocate an appropriately-sized scatterlist array and +populate it with pointers to the pieces of the allocated buffer; sglen +should be set to the length of the array. + +Drivers using the vmalloc() method need not (and cannot) concern themselves +with buffer allocation at all; videobuf will handle those details. The +same is normally true of contiguous-DMA drivers as well; videobuf will +allocate the buffers (with dma_alloc_coherent()) when it sees fit. That +means that these drivers may be trying to do high-order allocations at any +time, an operation which is not always guaranteed to work. Some drivers +play tricks by allocating DMA space at system boot time; videobuf does not +currently play well with those drivers. + +As of 2.6.31, contiguous-DMA drivers can work with a user-supplied buffer, +as long as that buffer is physically contiguous. Normal user-space +allocations will not meet that criterion, but buffers obtained from other +kernel drivers, or those contained within huge pages, will work with these +drivers. + +Filling the buffers +------------------- + +The final part of a videobuf implementation has no direct callback - it's +the portion of the code which actually puts frame data into the buffers, +usually in response to interrupts from the device. For all types of +drivers, this process works approximately as follows: + + - Obtain the next available buffer and make sure that somebody is actually + waiting for it. + + - Get a pointer to the memory and put video data there. + + - Mark the buffer as done and wake up the process waiting for it. + +Step (1) above is done by looking at the driver-managed list_head structure +- the one which is filled in the buf_queue() callback. Because starting +the engine and enqueueing buffers are done in separate steps, it's possible +for the engine to be running without any buffers available - in the +vmalloc() case especially. So the driver should be prepared for the list +to be empty. It is equally possible that nobody is yet interested in the +buffer; the driver should not remove it from the list or fill it until a +process is waiting on it. That test can be done by examining the buffer's +done field (a wait_queue_head_t structure) with waitqueue_active(). + +A buffer's state should be set to VIDEOBUF_ACTIVE before being mapped for +DMA; that ensures that the videobuf layer will not try to do anything with +it while the device is transferring data. + +For scatter/gather drivers, the needed memory pointers will be found in the +scatterlist structure described above. Drivers using the vmalloc() method +can get a memory pointer with: + +.. code-block:: none + + void *videobuf_to_vmalloc(struct videobuf_buffer *buf); + +For contiguous DMA drivers, the function to use is: + +.. code-block:: none + + dma_addr_t videobuf_to_dma_contig(struct videobuf_buffer *buf); + +The contiguous DMA API goes out of its way to hide the kernel-space address +of the DMA buffer from drivers. + +The final step is to set the size field of the relevant videobuf_buffer +structure to the actual size of the captured image, set state to +VIDEOBUF_DONE, then call wake_up() on the done queue. At this point, the +buffer is owned by the videobuf layer and the driver should not touch it +again. + +Developers who are interested in more information can go into the relevant +header files; there are a few low-level functions declared there which have +not been talked about here. Note also that all of these calls are exported +GPL-only, so they will not be available to non-GPL kernel modules. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-videobuf2.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-videobuf2.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..1044f64ff --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-videobuf2.rst @@ -0,0 +1,12 @@ +..

These devices are multi-function devices implemented in a +single FPGA and usually attached via some sort of PCI or PCIe link. Each +FPGA contains a header section describing the content of the FPGA. The +header lists the device id, PCI BAR, offset from the beginning of the PCI +BAR, size in the FPGA, interrupt number and some other properties currently +not handled by the MCB implementation. + +Carrier Devices +--------------- + +A carrier device is just an abstraction for the real world physical bus the +Chameleon FPGA is attached to. Some IP Core drivers may need to interact with +properties of the carrier device (like querying the IRQ number of a PCI +device). To provide abstraction from the real hardware bus, an MCB carrier +device provides callback methods to translate the driver's MCB function calls +to hardware related function calls. For example a carrier device may +implement the get_irq() method which can be translated into a hardware bus +query for the IRQ number the device should use. + +Parser +------ + +The parser reads the first 512 bytes of a Chameleon device and parses the +Chameleon table. Currently the parser only supports the Chameleon v2 variant +of the Chameleon table but can easily be adopted to support an older or +possible future variant. While parsing the table's entries new MCB devices +are allocated and their resources are assigned according to the resource +assignment in the Chameleon table. After resource assignment is finished, the +MCB devices are registered at the MCB and thus at the driver core of the +Linux kernel. + +Resource handling +================= + +The current implementation assigns exactly one memory and one IRQ resource +per MCB device. But this is likely going to change in the future. + +Memory Resources +---------------- + +Each MCB device has exactly one memory resource, which can be requested from +the MCB bus. This memory resource is the physical address of the MCB device +inside the carrier and is intended to be passed to ioremap() and friends. It +is already requested from the kernel by calling request_mem_region(). + +IRQs +---- + +Each MCB device has exactly one IRQ resource, which can be requested from the +MCB bus. If a carrier device driver implements the ->get_irq() callback +method, the IRQ number assigned by the carrier device will be returned, +otherwise the IRQ number inside the Chameleon table will be returned. This +number is suitable to be passed to request_irq(). + +Writing an MCB driver +===================== + +The driver structure +-------------------- + +Each MCB driver has a structure to identify the device driver as well as +device ids which identify the IP Core inside the FPGA. The driver structure +also contains callback methods which get executed on driver probe and +removal from the system:: + + static const struct mcb_device_id foo_ids[] = { + { .device = 0x123 }, + { } + }; + MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(mcb, foo_ids); + + static struct mcb_driver foo_driver = { + driver = { + .name = "foo-bar", + .owner = THIS_MODULE, + }, + .probe = foo_probe, + .remove = foo_remove, + .id_table = foo_ids, + }; + +Probing and attaching +--------------------- + +When a driver is loaded and the MCB devices it services are found, the MCB +core will call the driver's probe callback method. When the driver is removed +from the system, the MCB core will call the driver's remove callback method:: + + static init foo_probe(struct mcb_device *mdev, const struct mcb_device_id *id); + static void foo_remove(struct mcb_device *mdev); + +Initializing the driver +----------------------- + +When the kernel is booted or your foo driver module is inserted, you have to +perform driver initialization. Usually it is enough to register your driver +module at the MCB core:: + + static int __init foo_init(void) + { + return mcb_register_driver(&foo_driver); + } + module_init(foo_init); + + static void __exit foo_exit(void) + { + mcb_unregister_driver(&foo_driver); + } + module_exit(foo_exit); + +The module_mcb_driver() macro can be used to reduce the above code:: + + module_mcb_driver(foo_driver); + +Using DMA +--------- + +To make use of the kernel's DMA-API's function, you will need to use the +carrier device's 'struct device'.

A quick analysis: +for the column parity we use the par variable. When extending to 32 bits +we can in the end easily calculate rp0 and rp1 from it. +(because par now consists of 4 bytes, contributing to rp1, rp0, rp1, rp0 +respectively, from MSB to LSB) +also rp2 and rp3 can be easily retrieved from par as rp3 covers the +first two MSBs and rp2 covers the last two LSBs. + +Note that of course now the loop is executed only 64 times (256/4). +And note that care must taken wrt byte ordering. The way bytes are +ordered in a long is machine dependent, and might affect us. +Anyway, if there is an issue: this code is developed on x86 (to be +precise: a DELL PC with a D920 Intel CPU) + +And of course the performance might depend on alignment, but I expect +that the I/O buffers in the nand driver are aligned properly (and +otherwise that should be fixed to get maximum performance). + +Let's give it a try... + + +Attempt 2 +========= + +:: + + extern const char parity[256]; + + void ecc2(const unsigned char *buf, unsigned char *code) + { + int i; + const unsigned long *bp = (unsigned long *)buf; + unsigned long cur; + unsigned long rp0, rp1, rp2, rp3, rp4, rp5, rp6, rp7; + unsigned long rp8, rp9, rp10, rp11, rp12, rp13, rp14, rp15; + unsigned long par; + + par = 0; + rp0 = 0; rp1 = 0; rp2 = 0; rp3 = 0; + rp4 = 0; rp5 = 0; rp6 = 0; rp7 = 0; + rp8 = 0; rp9 = 0; rp10 = 0; rp11 = 0; + rp12 = 0; rp13 = 0; rp14 = 0; rp15 = 0; + + for (i = 0; i < 64; i++) + { + cur = *bp++; + par ^= cur; + if (i & 0x01) rp5 ^= cur; else rp4 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x02) rp7 ^= cur; else rp6 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x04) rp9 ^= cur; else rp8 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x08) rp11 ^= cur; else rp10 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x10) rp13 ^= cur; else rp12 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x20) rp15 ^= cur; else rp14 ^= cur; + } + /* + we need to adapt the code generation for the fact that rp vars are now + long; also the column parity calculation needs to be changed. + we'll bring rp4 to 15 back to single byte entities by shifting and + xoring + */ + rp4 ^= (rp4 >> 16); rp4 ^= (rp4 >> 8); rp4 &= 0xff; + rp5 ^= (rp5 >> 16); rp5 ^= (rp5 >> 8); rp5 &= 0xff; + rp6 ^= (rp6 >> 16); rp6 ^= (rp6 >> 8); rp6 &= 0xff; + rp7 ^= (rp7 >> 16); rp7 ^= (rp7 >> 8); rp7 &= 0xff; + rp8 ^= (rp8 >> 16); rp8 ^= (rp8 >> 8); rp8 &= 0xff; + rp9 ^= (rp9 >> 16); rp9 ^= (rp9 >> 8); rp9 &= 0xff; + rp10 ^= (rp10 >> 16); rp10 ^= (rp10 >> 8); rp10 &= 0xff; + rp11 ^= (rp11 >> 16); rp11 ^= (rp11 >> 8); rp11 &= 0xff; + rp12 ^= (rp12 >> 16); rp12 ^= (rp12 >> 8); rp12 &= 0xff; + rp13 ^= (rp13 >> 16); rp13 ^= (rp13 >> 8); rp13 &= 0xff; + rp14 ^= (rp14 >> 16); rp14 ^= (rp14 >> 8); rp14 &= 0xff; + rp15 ^= (rp15 >> 16); rp15 ^= (rp15 >> 8); rp15 &= 0xff; + rp3 = (par >> 16); rp3 ^= (rp3 >> 8); rp3 &= 0xff; + rp2 = par & 0xffff; rp2 ^= (rp2 >> 8); rp2 &= 0xff; + par ^= (par >> 16); + rp1 = (par >> 8); rp1 &= 0xff; + rp0 = (par & 0xff); + par ^= (par >> 8); par &= 0xff; + + code[0] = + (parity[rp7] << 7) | + (parity[rp6] << 6) | + (parity[rp5] << 5) | + (parity[rp4] << 4) | + (parity[rp3] << 3) | + (parity[rp2] << 2) | + (parity[rp1] << 1) | + (parity[rp0]); + code[1] = + (parity[rp15] << 7) | + (parity[rp14] << 6) | + (parity[rp13] << 5) | + (parity[rp12] << 4) | + (parity[rp11] << 3) | + (parity[rp10] << 2) | + (parity[rp9] << 1) | + (parity[rp8]); + code[2] = + (parity[par & 0xf0] << 7) | + (parity[par & 0x0f] << 6) | + (parity[par & 0xcc] << 5) | + (parity[par & 0x33] << 4) | + (parity[par & 0xaa] << 3) | + (parity[par & 0x55] << 2); + code[0] = ~code[0]; + code[1] = ~code[1]; + code[2] = ~code[2]; + } + +The parity array is not shown any more. Note also that for these +examples I kinda deviated from my regular programming style by allowing +multiple statements on a line, not using { } in then and else blocks +with only a single statement and by using operators like ^= + + +Analysis 2 +========== + +The code (of course) works, and hurray: we are a little bit faster than +the linux driver code (about 15%). But wait, don't cheer too quickly. +There is more to be gained. +If we look at e.g. rp14 and rp15 we see that we either xor our data with +rp14 or with rp15. However we also have par which goes over all data. +This means there is no need to calculate rp14 as it can be calculated from +rp15 through rp14 = par ^ rp15, because par = rp14 ^ rp15; +(or if desired we can avoid calculating rp15 and calculate it from +rp14). That is why some places refer to inverse parity. +Of course the same thing holds for rp4/5, rp6/7, rp8/9, rp10/11 and rp12/13. +Effectively this means we can eliminate the else clause from the if +statements. Also we can optimise the calculation in the end a little bit +by going from long to byte first. Actually we can even avoid the table +lookups + +Attempt 3 +========= + +Odd replaced:: + + if (i & 0x01) rp5 ^= cur; else rp4 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x02) rp7 ^= cur; else rp6 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x04) rp9 ^= cur; else rp8 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x08) rp11 ^= cur; else rp10 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x10) rp13 ^= cur; else rp12 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x20) rp15 ^= cur; else rp14 ^= cur; + +with:: + + if (i & 0x01) rp5 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x02) rp7 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x04) rp9 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x08) rp11 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x10) rp13 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x20) rp15 ^= cur; + +and outside the loop added:: + + rp4 = par ^ rp5; + rp6 = par ^ rp7; + rp8 = par ^ rp9; + rp10 = par ^ rp11; + rp12 = par ^ rp13; + rp14 = par ^ rp15; + +And after that the code takes about 30% more time, although the number of +statements is reduced. This is also reflected in the assembly code. + + +Analysis 3 +========== + +Very weird. Guess it has to do with caching or instruction parallellism +or so. I also tried on an eeePC (Celeron, clocked at 900 Mhz). Interesting +observation was that this one is only 30% slower (according to time) +executing the code as my 3Ghz D920 processor. + +Well, it was expected not to be easy so maybe instead move to a +different track: let's move back to the code from attempt2 and do some +loop unrolling. This will eliminate a few if statements. I'll try +different amounts of unrolling to see what works best. + + +Attempt 4 +========= + +Unrolled the loop 1, 2, 3 and 4 times. +For 4 the code starts with:: + + for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) + { + cur = *bp++; + par ^= cur; + rp4 ^= cur; + rp6 ^= cur; + rp8 ^= cur; + rp10 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x1) rp13 ^= cur; else rp12 ^= cur; + if (i & 0x2) rp15 ^= cur; else rp14 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; + par ^= cur; + rp5 ^= cur; + rp6 ^= cur; + ... + + +Analysis 4 +========== + +Unrolling once gains about 15% + +Unrolling twice keeps the gain at about 15% + +Unrolling three times gives a gain of 30% compared to attempt 2. + +Unrolling four times gives a marginal improvement compared to unrolling +three times. + +I decided to proceed with a four time unrolled loop anyway. It was my gut +feeling that in the next steps I would obtain additional gain from it. + +The next step was triggered by the fact that par contains the xor of all +bytes and rp4 and rp5 each contain the xor of half of the bytes. +So in effect par = rp4 ^ rp5. But as xor is commutative we can also say +that rp5 = par ^ rp4. So no need to keep both rp4 and rp5 around. We can +eliminate rp5 (or rp4, but I already foresaw another optimisation). +The same holds for rp6/7, rp8/9, rp10/11 rp12/13 and rp14/15. + + +Attempt 5 +========= + +Effectively so all odd digit rp assignments in the loop were removed. +This included the else clause of the if statements. +Of course after the loop we need to correct things by adding code like:: + + rp5 = par ^ rp4; + +Also the initial assignments (rp5 = 0; etc) could be removed. +Along the line I also removed the initialisation of rp0/1/2/3. + + +Analysis 5 +========== + +Measurements showed this was a good move. The run-time roughly halved +compared with attempt 4 with 4 times unrolled, and we only require 1/3rd +of the processor time compared to the current code in the linux kernel. + +However, still I thought there was more. I didn't like all the if +statements. Why not keep a running parity and only keep the last if +statement. Time for yet another version! + + +Attempt 6 +========= + +THe code within the for loop was changed to:: + + for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) + { + cur = *bp++; tmppar = cur; rp4 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp6 ^= tmppar; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp4 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp8 ^= tmppar; + + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp4 ^= cur; rp6 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp6 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp4 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp10 ^= tmppar; + + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp4 ^= cur; rp6 ^= cur; rp8 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp6 ^= cur; rp8 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp4 ^= cur; rp8 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp8 ^= cur; + + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp4 ^= cur; rp6 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp6 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp4 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; + + par ^= tmppar; + if ((i & 0x1) == 0) rp12 ^= tmppar; + if ((i & 0x2) == 0) rp14 ^= tmppar; + } + +As you can see tmppar is used to accumulate the parity within a for +iteration. In the last 3 statements is added to par and, if needed, +to rp12 and rp14. + +While making the changes I also found that I could exploit that tmppar +contains the running parity for this iteration. So instead of having: +rp4 ^= cur; rp6 ^= cur; +I removed the rp6 ^= cur; statement and did rp6 ^= tmppar; on next +statement. A similar change was done for rp8 and rp10 + + +Analysis 6 +========== + +Measuring this code again showed big gain. When executing the original +linux code 1 million times, this took about 1 second on my system. +(using time to measure the performance). After this iteration I was back +to 0.075 sec. Actually I had to decide to start measuring over 10 +million iterations in order not to lose too much accuracy. This one +definitely seemed to be the jackpot! + +There is a little bit more room for improvement though. There are three +places with statements:: + + rp4 ^= cur; rp6 ^= cur; + +It seems more efficient to also maintain a variable rp4_6 in the while +loop; This eliminates 3 statements per loop. Of course after the loop we +need to correct by adding:: + + rp4 ^= rp4_6; + rp6 ^= rp4_6 + +Furthermore there are 4 sequential assignments to rp8. This can be +encoded slightly more efficiently by saving tmppar before those 4 lines +and later do rp8 = rp8 ^ tmppar ^ notrp8; +(where notrp8 is the value of rp8 before those 4 lines). +Again a use of the commutative property of xor. +Time for a new test! + + +Attempt 7 +========= + +The new code now looks like:: + + for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) + { + cur = *bp++; tmppar = cur; rp4 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp6 ^= tmppar; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp4 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp8 ^= tmppar; + + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp4_6 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp6 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp4 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp10 ^= tmppar; + + notrp8 = tmppar; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp4_6 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp6 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp4 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; + rp8 = rp8 ^ tmppar ^ notrp8; + + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp4_6 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp6 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; rp4 ^= cur; + cur = *bp++; tmppar ^= cur; + + par ^= tmppar; + if ((i & 0x1) == 0) rp12 ^= tmppar; + if ((i & 0x2) == 0) rp14 ^= tmppar; + } + rp4 ^= rp4_6; + rp6 ^= rp4_6; + + +Not a big change, but every penny counts :-) + + +Analysis 7 +========== + +Actually this made things worse. Not very much, but I don't want to move +into the wrong direction. Maybe something to investigate later. Could +have to do with caching again. + +Guess that is what there is to win within the loop. Maybe unrolling one +more time will help. I'll keep the optimisations from 7 for now. + + +Attempt 8 +========= + +Unrolled the loop one more time. + + +Analysis 8 +========== + +This makes things worse. Let's stick with attempt 6 and continue from there. +Although it seems that the code within the loop cannot be optimised +further there is still room to optimize the generation of the ecc codes. +We can simply calculate the total parity. If this is 0 then rp4 = rp5 +etc. If the parity is 1, then rp4 = !rp5; + +But if rp4 = rp5 we do not need rp5 etc. We can just write the even bits +in the result byte and then do something like:: + + code[0] |= (code[0] << 1); + +Lets test this. + + +Attempt 9 +========= + +Changed the code but again this slightly degrades performance. Tried all +kind of other things, like having dedicated parity arrays to avoid the +shift after parity[rp7] << 7; No gain. +Change the lookup using the parity array by using shift operators (e.g. +replace parity[rp7] << 7 with:: + + rp7 ^= (rp7 << 4); + rp7 ^= (rp7 << 2); + rp7 ^= (rp7 << 1); + rp7 &= 0x80; + +No gain. + +The only marginal change was inverting the parity bits, so we can remove +the last three invert statements. + +Ah well, pity this does not deliver more. Then again 10 million +iterations using the linux driver code takes between 13 and 13.5 +seconds, whereas my code now takes about 0.73 seconds for those 10 +million iterations. So basically I've improved the performance by a +factor 18 on my system. Not that bad. Of course on different hardware +you will get different results. No warranties! + +But of course there is no such thing as a free lunch. The codesize almost +tripled (from 562 bytes to 1434 bytes). Then again, it is not that much. + + +Correcting errors +================= + +For correcting errors I again used the ST application note as a starter, +but I also peeked at the existing code. + +The algorithm itself is pretty straightforward. Just xor the given and +the calculated ecc. If all bytes are 0 there is no problem. If 11 bits +are 1 we have one correctable bit error. If there is 1 bit 1, we have an +error in the given ecc code. + +It proved to be fastest to do some table lookups. Performance gain +introduced by this is about a factor 2 on my system when a repair had to +be done, and 1% or so if no repair had to be done. + +Code size increased from 330 bytes to 686 bytes for this function. +(gcc 4.2, -O3) + + +Conclusion +========== + +The gain when calculating the ecc is tremendous. Om my development hardware +a speedup of a factor of 18 for ecc calculation was achieved. On a test on an +embedded system with a MIPS core a factor 7 was obtained. + +On a test with a Linksys NSLU2 (ARMv5TE processor) the speedup was a factor +5 (big endian mode, gcc 4.1.2, -O3) + +For correction not much gain could be obtained (as bitflips are rare). Then +again there are also much less cycles spent there. + +It seems there is not much more gain possible in this, at least when +programmed in C. Of course it might be possible to squeeze something more +out of it with an assembler program, but due to pipeline behaviour etc +this is very tricky (at least for intel hw). + +Author: Frans Meulenbroeks + +Copyright (C) 2008 Koninklijke Philips Electronics NV. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/mtd/spi-intel.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/mtd/spi-intel.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..df854f20e --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/mtd/spi-intel.rst @@ -0,0 +1,90 @@ +============================== +Upgrading BIOS using spi-intel +============================== + +Many Intel CPUs like Baytrail and Braswell include SPI serial flash host +controller which is used to hold BIOS and other platform specific data. +Since contents of the SPI serial flash is crucial for machine to function, +it is typically protected by different hardware protection mechanisms to +avoid accidental (or on purpose) overwrite of the content. + +Not all manufacturers protect the SPI serial flash, mainly because it +allows upgrading the BIOS image directly from an OS. + +The spi-intel driver makes it possible to read and write the SPI serial +flash, if certain protection bits are not set and locked.

Therefore the board driver must +provide an own select_chip function. This function must (de)select the +requested chip. The function pointer in the nand_chip structure must be +set before calling nand_scan(). The maxchip parameter of nand_scan() +defines the maximum number of chips to scan for. Make sure that the +select_chip function can handle the requested number of chips. + +The nand driver concatenates the chips to one virtual chip and provides +this virtual chip to the MTD layer. + +*Note: The driver can only handle linear chip arrays of equally sized +chips. There is no support for parallel arrays which extend the +buswidth.* + +*GPIO based example* + +:: + + static void board_select_chip (struct mtd_info *mtd, int chip) + { + /* Deselect all chips, set all nCE pins high */ + GPIO(BOARD_NAND_NCE) |= 0xff; + if (chip >= 0) + GPIO(BOARD_NAND_NCE) &= ~ (1 << chip); + } + + +*Address lines based example.* Its assumed that the nCE pins are +connected to an address decoder. + +:: + + static void board_select_chip (struct mtd_info *mtd, int chip) + { + struct nand_chip *this = mtd_to_nand(mtd); + + /* Deselect all chips */ + this->legacy.IO_ADDR_R &= ~BOARD_NAND_ADDR_MASK; + this->legacy.IO_ADDR_W &= ~BOARD_NAND_ADDR_MASK; + switch (chip) { + case 0: + this->legacy.IO_ADDR_R |= BOARD_NAND_ADDR_CHIP0; + this->legacy.IO_ADDR_W |= BOARD_NAND_ADDR_CHIP0; + break; + .... + case n: + this->legacy.IO_ADDR_R |= BOARD_NAND_ADDR_CHIPn; + this->legacy.IO_ADDR_W |= BOARD_NAND_ADDR_CHIPn; + break; + } + } + + +Hardware ECC support +-------------------- + +Functions and constants +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The nand driver supports three different types of hardware ECC. + +- NAND_ECC_HW3_256 + + Hardware ECC generator providing 3 bytes ECC per 256 byte. + +- NAND_ECC_HW3_512 + + Hardware ECC generator providing 3 bytes ECC per 512 byte. + +- NAND_ECC_HW6_512 + + Hardware ECC generator providing 6 bytes ECC per 512 byte. + +- NAND_ECC_HW8_512 + + Hardware ECC generator providing 8 bytes ECC per 512 byte. + +If your hardware generator has a different functionality add it at the +appropriate place in nand_base.c + +The board driver must provide following functions: + +- enable_hwecc + + This function is called before reading / writing to the chip. Reset + or initialize the hardware generator in this function. The function + is called with an argument which let you distinguish between read and + write operations. + +- calculate_ecc + + This function is called after read / write from / to the chip. + Transfer the ECC from the hardware to the buffer. If the option + NAND_HWECC_SYNDROME is set then the function is only called on + write. See below. + +- correct_data + + In case of an ECC error this function is called for error detection + and correction. Return 1 respectively 2 in case the error can be + corrected. If the error is not correctable return -1. If your + hardware generator matches the default algorithm of the nand_ecc + software generator then use the correction function provided by + nand_ecc instead of implementing duplicated code. + +Hardware ECC with syndrome calculation +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Many hardware ECC implementations provide Reed-Solomon codes and +calculate an error syndrome on read. The syndrome must be converted to a +standard Reed-Solomon syndrome before calling the error correction code +in the generic Reed-Solomon library. + +The ECC bytes must be placed immediately after the data bytes in order +to make the syndrome generator work. This is contrary to the usual +layout used by software ECC. The separation of data and out of band area +is not longer possible. The nand driver code handles this layout and the +remaining free bytes in the oob area are managed by the autoplacement +code. Provide a matching oob-layout in this case. See rts_from4.c and +diskonchip.c for implementation reference. In those cases we must also +use bad block tables on FLASH, because the ECC layout is interfering +with the bad block marker positions. See bad block table support for +details. + +Bad block table support +----------------------- + +Most NAND chips mark the bad blocks at a defined position in the spare +area. Those blocks must not be erased under any circumstances as the bad +block information would be lost. It is possible to check the bad block +mark each time when the blocks are accessed by reading the spare area of +the first page in the block. This is time consuming so a bad block table +is used. + +The nand driver supports various types of bad block tables. + +- Per device + + The bad block table contains all bad block information of the device + which can consist of multiple chips. + +- Per chip + + A bad block table is used per chip and contains the bad block + information for this particular chip. + +- Fixed offset + + The bad block table is located at a fixed offset in the chip + (device). This applies to various DiskOnChip devices. + +- Automatic placed + + The bad block table is automatically placed and detected either at + the end or at the beginning of a chip (device) + +- Mirrored tables + + The bad block table is mirrored on the chip (device) to allow updates + of the bad block table without data loss. + +nand_scan() calls the function nand_default_bbt(). +nand_default_bbt() selects appropriate default bad block table +descriptors depending on the chip information which was retrieved by +nand_scan(). + +The standard policy is scanning the device for bad blocks and build a +ram based bad block table which allows faster access than always +checking the bad block information on the flash chip itself. + +Flash based tables +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +It may be desired or necessary to keep a bad block table in FLASH. For +AG-AND chips this is mandatory, as they have no factory marked bad +blocks. They have factory marked good blocks. The marker pattern is +erased when the block is erased to be reused. So in case of powerloss +before writing the pattern back to the chip this block would be lost and +added to the bad blocks. Therefore we scan the chip(s) when we detect +them the first time for good blocks and store this information in a bad +block table before erasing any of the blocks. + +The blocks in which the tables are stored are protected against +accidental access by marking them bad in the memory bad block table. The +bad block table management functions are allowed to circumvent this +protection. + +The simplest way to activate the FLASH based bad block table support is +to set the option NAND_BBT_USE_FLASH in the bbt_option field of the +nand chip structure before calling nand_scan(). For AG-AND chips is +this done by default. This activates the default FLASH based bad block +table functionality of the NAND driver. The default bad block table +options are + +- Store bad block table per chip + +- Use 2 bits per block + +- Automatic placement at the end of the chip + +- Use mirrored tables with version numbers + +- Reserve 4 blocks at the end of the chip + +User defined tables +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +User defined tables are created by filling out a nand_bbt_descr +structure and storing the pointer in the nand_chip structure member +bbt_td before calling nand_scan(). If a mirror table is necessary a +second structure must be created and a pointer to this structure must be +stored in bbt_md inside the nand_chip structure. If the bbt_md member +is set to NULL then only the main table is used and no scan for the +mirrored table is performed. + +The most important field in the nand_bbt_descr structure is the +options field. The options define most of the table properties. Use the +predefined constants from rawnand.h to define the options. + +- Number of bits per block + + The supported number of bits is 1, 2, 4, 8. + +- Table per chip + + Setting the constant NAND_BBT_PERCHIP selects that a bad block + table is managed for each chip in a chip array. If this option is not + set then a per device bad block table is used. + +- Table location is absolute + + Use the option constant NAND_BBT_ABSPAGE and define the absolute + page number where the bad block table starts in the field pages. If + you have selected bad block tables per chip and you have a multi chip + array then the start page must be given for each chip in the chip + array. Note: there is no scan for a table ident pattern performed, so + the fields pattern, veroffs, offs, len can be left uninitialized + +- Table location is automatically detected + + The table can either be located in the first or the last good blocks + of the chip (device). Set NAND_BBT_LASTBLOCK to place the bad block + table at the end of the chip (device). The bad block tables are + marked and identified by a pattern which is stored in the spare area + of the first page in the block which holds the bad block table. Store + a pointer to the pattern in the pattern field. Further the length of + the pattern has to be stored in len and the offset in the spare area + must be given in the offs member of the nand_bbt_descr structure. + For mirrored bad block tables different patterns are mandatory. + +- Table creation + + Set the option NAND_BBT_CREATE to enable the table creation if no + table can be found during the scan. Usually this is done only once if + a new chip is found. + +- Table write support + + Set the option NAND_BBT_WRITE to enable the table write support. + This allows the update of the bad block table(s) in case a block has + to be marked bad due to wear. The MTD interface function + block_markbad is calling the update function of the bad block table. + If the write support is enabled then the table is updated on FLASH. + + Note: Write support should only be enabled for mirrored tables with + version control. + +- Table version control + + Set the option NAND_BBT_VERSION to enable the table version + control. It's highly recommended to enable this for mirrored tables + with write support. It makes sure that the risk of losing the bad + block table information is reduced to the loss of the information + about the one worn out block which should be marked bad. The version + is stored in 4 consecutive bytes in the spare area of the device. The + position of the version number is defined by the member veroffs in + the bad block table descriptor. + +- Save block contents on write + + In case that the block which holds the bad block table does contain + other useful information, set the option NAND_BBT_SAVECONTENT. When + the bad block table is written then the whole block is read the bad + block table is updated and the block is erased and everything is + written back. If this option is not set only the bad block table is + written and everything else in the block is ignored and erased. + +- Number of reserved blocks + + For automatic placement some blocks must be reserved for bad block + table storage. The number of reserved blocks is defined in the + maxblocks member of the bad block table description structure. + Reserving 4 blocks for mirrored tables should be a reasonable number. + This also limits the number of blocks which are scanned for the bad + block table ident pattern. + +Spare area (auto)placement +-------------------------- + +The nand driver implements different possibilities for placement of +filesystem data in the spare area, + +- Placement defined by fs driver + +- Automatic placement + +The default placement function is automatic placement. The nand driver +has built in default placement schemes for the various chiptypes. If due +to hardware ECC functionality the default placement does not fit then +the board driver can provide a own placement scheme. + +File system drivers can provide a own placement scheme which is used +instead of the default placement scheme. + +Placement schemes are defined by a nand_oobinfo structure + +:: + + struct nand_oobinfo { + int useecc; + int eccbytes; + int eccpos[24]; + int oobfree[8][2]; + }; + + +- useecc + + The useecc member controls the ecc and placement function. The header + file include/mtd/mtd-abi.h contains constants to select ecc and + placement. MTD_NANDECC_OFF switches off the ecc complete. This is + not recommended and available for testing and diagnosis only. + MTD_NANDECC_PLACE selects caller defined placement, + MTD_NANDECC_AUTOPLACE selects automatic placement. + +- eccbytes + + The eccbytes member defines the number of ecc bytes per page. + +- eccpos + + The eccpos array holds the byte offsets in the spare area where the + ecc codes are placed. + +- oobfree + + The oobfree array defines the areas in the spare area which can be + used for automatic placement. The information is given in the format + {offset, size}. offset defines the start of the usable area, size the + length in bytes. More than one area can be defined. The list is + terminated by an {0, 0} entry. + +Placement defined by fs driver +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The calling function provides a pointer to a nand_oobinfo structure +which defines the ecc placement. For writes the caller must provide a +spare area buffer along with the data buffer. The spare area buffer size +is (number of pages) \* (size of spare area). For reads the buffer size +is (number of pages) \* ((size of spare area) + (number of ecc steps per +page) \* sizeof (int)). The driver stores the result of the ecc check +for each tuple in the spare buffer. The storage sequence is:: + + <spare data page 0><ecc result 0>...<ecc result n> + + ... + + <spare data page n><ecc result 0>...<ecc result n> + +This is a legacy mode used by YAFFS1. + +If the spare area buffer is NULL then only the ECC placement is done +according to the given scheme in the nand_oobinfo structure. + +Automatic placement +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Automatic placement uses the built in defaults to place the ecc bytes in +the spare area. If filesystem data have to be stored / read into the +spare area then the calling function must provide a buffer. The buffer +size per page is determined by the oobfree array in the nand_oobinfo +structure. + +If the spare area buffer is NULL then only the ECC placement is done +according to the default builtin scheme. + +Spare area autoplacement default schemes +---------------------------------------- + +256 byte pagesize +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +======== ================== =================================================== +Offset Content Comment +======== ================== =================================================== +0x00 ECC byte 0 Error correction code byte 0 +0x01 ECC byte 1 Error correction code byte 1 +0x02 ECC byte 2 Error correction code byte 2 +0x03 Autoplace 0 +0x04 Autoplace 1 +0x05 Bad block marker If any bit in this byte is zero, then this + block is bad.

The consecutive writes to a page, before erasing +it again, are restricted to 1-3 writes, depending on the manufacturers +specifications. This applies similar to the spare area. + +Therefore NAND aware filesystems must either write in page size chunks +or hold a writebuffer to collect smaller writes until they sum up to +pagesize.

It +enables easy writing of HCI-based NFC drivers. The HCI layer runs as an NFC Core +backend, implementing an abstract nfc device and translating NFC Core API +to HCI commands and events. + +HCI +--- + +HCI registers as an nfc device with NFC Core. Requests coming from userspace are +routed through netlink sockets to NFC Core and then to HCI. From this point, +they are translated in a sequence of HCI commands sent to the HCI layer in the +host controller (the chip). Commands can be executed synchronously (the sending +context blocks waiting for response) or asynchronously (the response is returned +from HCI Rx context). +HCI events can also be received from the host controller. They will be handled +and a translation will be forwarded to NFC Core as needed. There are hooks to +let the HCI driver handle proprietary events or override standard behavior. +HCI uses 2 execution contexts: + +- one for executing commands : nfc_hci_msg_tx_work(). Only one command + can be executing at any given moment. +- one for dispatching received events and commands : nfc_hci_msg_rx_work(). + +HCI Session initialization +-------------------------- + +The Session initialization is an HCI standard which must unfortunately +support proprietary gates. This is the reason why the driver will pass a list +of proprietary gates that must be part of the session. HCI will ensure all +those gates have pipes connected when the hci device is set up. +In case the chip supports pre-opened gates and pseudo-static pipes, the driver +can pass that information to HCI core. + +HCI Gates and Pipes +------------------- + +A gate defines the 'port' where some service can be found. In order to access +a service, one must create a pipe to that gate and open it. In this +implementation, pipes are totally hidden. The public API only knows gates. +This is consistent with the driver need to send commands to proprietary gates +without knowing the pipe connected to it. + +Driver interface +---------------- + +A driver is generally written in two parts : the physical link management and +the HCI management. This makes it easier to maintain a driver for a chip that +can be connected using various phy (i2c, spi, ...) + +HCI Management +-------------- + +A driver would normally register itself with HCI and provide the following +entry points:: + + struct nfc_hci_ops { + int (*open)(struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev); + void (*close)(struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev); + int (*hci_ready) (struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev); + int (*xmit) (struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, struct sk_buff *skb); + int (*start_poll) (struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, + u32 im_protocols, u32 tm_protocols); + int (*dep_link_up)(struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, struct nfc_target *target, + u8 comm_mode, u8 *gb, size_t gb_len); + int (*dep_link_down)(struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev); + int (*target_from_gate) (struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, u8 gate, + struct nfc_target *target); + int (*complete_target_discovered) (struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, u8 gate, + struct nfc_target *target); + int (*im_transceive) (struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, + struct nfc_target *target, struct sk_buff *skb, + data_exchange_cb_t cb, void *cb_context); + int (*tm_send)(struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, struct sk_buff *skb); + int (*check_presence)(struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, + struct nfc_target *target); + int (*event_received)(struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, u8 gate, u8 event, + struct sk_buff *skb); + }; + +- open() and close() shall turn the hardware on and off. +- hci_ready() is an optional entry point that is called right after the hci + session has been set up. The driver can use it to do additional initialization + that must be performed using HCI commands. +- xmit() shall simply write a frame to the physical link. +- start_poll() is an optional entrypoint that shall set the hardware in polling + mode. This must be implemented only if the hardware uses proprietary gates or a + mechanism slightly different from the HCI standard. +- dep_link_up() is called after a p2p target has been detected, to finish + the p2p connection setup with hardware parameters that need to be passed back + to nfc core. +- dep_link_down() is called to bring the p2p link down. +- target_from_gate() is an optional entrypoint to return the nfc protocols + corresponding to a proprietary gate. +- complete_target_discovered() is an optional entry point to let the driver + perform additional proprietary processing necessary to auto activate the + discovered target. +- im_transceive() must be implemented by the driver if proprietary HCI commands + are required to send data to the tag. Some tag types will require custom + commands, others can be written to using the standard HCI commands. The driver + can check the tag type and either do proprietary processing, or return 1 to ask + for standard processing. The data exchange command itself must be sent + asynchronously. +- tm_send() is called to send data in the case of a p2p connection +- check_presence() is an optional entry point that will be called regularly + by the core to check that an activated tag is still in the field.

HCI will take care of re-aggregation and handling +This must be done from a context that can sleep. + +PHY Management +-------------- + +The physical link (i2c, ...) management is defined by the following structure:: + + struct nfc_phy_ops { + int (*write)(void *dev_id, struct sk_buff *skb); + int (*enable)(void *dev_id); + void (*disable)(void *dev_id); + }; + +enable(): + turn the phy on (power on), make it ready to transfer data +disable(): + turn the phy off +write(): + Send a data frame to the chip. Note that to enable higher + layers such as an llc to store the frame for re-emission, this + function must not alter the skb. It must also not return a positive + result (return 0 for success, negative for failure). + +Data coming from the chip shall be sent directly to nfc_hci_recv_frame(). + +LLC +--- + +Communication between the CPU and the chip often requires some link layer +protocol. Those are isolated as modules managed by the HCI layer. There are +currently two modules : nop (raw transfert) and shdlc. +A new llc must implement the following functions:: + + struct nfc_llc_ops { + void *(*init) (struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, xmit_to_drv_t xmit_to_drv, + rcv_to_hci_t rcv_to_hci, int tx_headroom, + int tx_tailroom, int *rx_headroom, int *rx_tailroom, + llc_failure_t llc_failure); + void (*deinit) (struct nfc_llc *llc); + int (*start) (struct nfc_llc *llc); + int (*stop) (struct nfc_llc *llc); + void (*rcv_from_drv) (struct nfc_llc *llc, struct sk_buff *skb); + int (*xmit_from_hci) (struct nfc_llc *llc, struct sk_buff *skb); + }; + +init(): + allocate and init your private storage +deinit(): + cleanup +start(): + establish the logical connection +stop (): + terminate the logical connection +rcv_from_drv(): + handle data coming from the chip, going to HCI +xmit_from_hci(): + handle data sent by HCI, going to the chip + +The llc must be registered with nfc before it can be used. Do that by +calling:: + + nfc_llc_register(const char *name, const struct nfc_llc_ops *ops); + +Again, note that the llc does not handle the physical link. It is thus very +easy to mix any physical link with any llc for a given chip driver. + +Included Drivers +---------------- + +An HCI based driver for an NXP PN544, connected through I2C bus, and using +shdlc is included. + +Execution Contexts +------------------ + +The execution contexts are the following: +- IRQ handler (IRQH): +fast, cannot sleep. sends incoming frames to HCI where they are passed to +the current llc. In case of shdlc, the frame is queued in shdlc rx queue. + +- SHDLC State Machine worker (SMW) + + Only when llc_shdlc is used: handles shdlc rx & tx queues. + + Dispatches HCI cmd responses. + +- HCI Tx Cmd worker (MSGTXWQ) + + Serializes execution of HCI commands. + + Completes execution in case of response timeout. + +- HCI Rx worker (MSGRXWQ) + + Dispatches incoming HCI commands or events. + +- Syscall context from a userspace call (SYSCALL) + + Any entrypoint in HCI called from NFC Core + +Workflow executing an HCI command (using shdlc) +----------------------------------------------- + +Executing an HCI command can easily be performed synchronously using the +following API:: + + int nfc_hci_send_cmd (struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, u8 gate, u8 cmd, + const u8 *param, size_t param_len, struct sk_buff **skb) + +The API must be invoked from a context that can sleep. Most of the time, this +will be the syscall context. skb will return the result that was received in +the response. + +Internally, execution is asynchronous. So all this API does is to enqueue the +HCI command, setup a local wait queue on stack, and wait_event() for completion. +The wait is not interruptible because it is guaranteed that the command will +complete after some short timeout anyway. + +MSGTXWQ context will then be scheduled and invoke nfc_hci_msg_tx_work(). +This function will dequeue the next pending command and send its HCP fragments +to the lower layer which happens to be shdlc. It will then start a timer to be +able to complete the command with a timeout error if no response arrive. + +SMW context gets scheduled and invokes nfc_shdlc_sm_work(). This function +handles shdlc framing in and out. It uses the driver xmit to send frames and +receives incoming frames in an skb queue filled from the driver IRQ handler. +SHDLC I(nformation) frames payload are HCP fragments. They are aggregated to +form complete HCI frames, which can be a response, command, or event. + +HCI Responses are dispatched immediately from this context to unblock +waiting command execution. Response processing involves invoking the completion +callback that was provided by nfc_hci_msg_tx_work() when it sent the command. +The completion callback will then wake the syscall context. + +It is also possible to execute the command asynchronously using this API:: + + static int nfc_hci_execute_cmd_async(struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, u8 pipe, u8 cmd, + const u8 *param, size_t param_len, + data_exchange_cb_t cb, void *cb_context) + +The workflow is the same, except that the API call returns immediately, and +the callback will be called with the result from the SMW context. + +Workflow receiving an HCI event or command +------------------------------------------ + +HCI commands or events are not dispatched from SMW context. Instead, they are +queued to HCI rx_queue and will be dispatched from HCI rx worker +context (MSGRXWQ). This is done this way to allow a cmd or event handler +to also execute other commands (for example, handling the +NFC_HCI_EVT_TARGET_DISCOVERED event from PN544 requires to issue an +ANY_GET_PARAMETER to the reader A gate to get information on the target +that was discovered). + +Typically, such an event will be propagated to NFC Core from MSGRXWQ context. + +Error management +---------------- + +Errors that occur synchronously with the execution of an NFC Core request are +simply returned as the execution result of the request. These are easy. + +Errors that occur asynchronously (e.g. in a background protocol handling thread) +must be reported such that upper layers don't stay ignorant that something +went wrong below and know that expected events will probably never happen. +Handling of these errors is done as follows: + +- driver (pn544) fails to deliver an incoming frame: it stores the error such + that any subsequent call to the driver will result in this error. Then it + calls the standard nfc_shdlc_recv_frame() with a NULL argument to report the + problem above. shdlc stores a EREMOTEIO sticky status, which will trigger + SMW to report above in turn. + +- SMW is basically a background thread to handle incoming and outgoing shdlc + frames. This thread will also check the shdlc sticky status and report to HCI + when it discovers it is not able to run anymore because of an unrecoverable + error that happened within shdlc or below. If the problem occurs during shdlc + connection, the error is reported through the connect completion. + +- HCI: if an internal HCI error happens (frame is lost), or HCI is reported an + error from a lower layer, HCI will either complete the currently executing + command with that error, or notify NFC Core directly if no command is + executing. + +- NFC Core: when NFC Core is notified of an error from below and polling is + active, it will send a tag discovered event with an empty tag list to the user + space to let it know that the poll operation will never be able to detect a + tag. If polling is not active and the error was sticky, lower levels will + return it at next invocation. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/nfc/nfc-pn544.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/nfc/nfc-pn544.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..6b2d8aae0 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/nfc/nfc-pn544.rst @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +============================================================================ +Kernel driver for the NXP Semiconductors PN544 Near Field Communication chip +============================================================================ + + +General +------- + +The PN544 is an integrated transmission module for contactless +communication.

Existing NTB hardware supports a common feature set: doorbell +registers and memory translation windows, as well as non common features like +scratchpad and message registers. Scratchpad registers are read-and-writable +registers that are accessible from either side of the device, so that peers can +exchange a small amount of information at a fixed address. Message registers can +be utilized for the same purpose. Additionally they are provided with +special status bits to make sure the information isn't rewritten by another +peer.

The term "client" is used here to mean an upper layer +component making use of the NTB api. The term "driver," or "hardware driver," +is used here to mean a driver for a specific vendor and model of NTB hardware. + +NTB Client Drivers +================== + +NTB client drivers should register with the NTB core driver.

So the NTB device features like Scratchpad/Message registers are +mainly used to perform the proper memory window initialization. Typically +there are two types of memory window interfaces supported by the NTB API: +inbound translation configured on the local ntb port and outbound translation +configured by the peer, on the peer ntb port.

These drivers function together to create a logical link to the peer, +across the ntb, to exchange packets of network data. The Transport client +establishes a logical link to the peer, and creates queue pairs to exchange +messages and data. The NTB Netdev then creates an ethernet device using a +Transport queue pair. Network data is copied between socket buffers and the +Transport queue pair buffer. The Transport client may be used for other things +besides Netdev, however no other applications have yet been written. + +NTB Ping Pong Test Client (ntb\_pingpong) +----------------------------------------- + +The Ping Pong test client serves as a demonstration to exercise the doorbell +and scratchpad registers of NTB hardware, and as an example simple NTB client. +Ping Pong enables the link when started, waits for the NTB link to come up, and +then proceeds to read and write the doorbell scratchpad registers of the NTB. +The peers interrupt each other using a bit mask of doorbell bits, which is +shifted by one in each round, to test the behavior of multiple doorbell bits +and interrupt vectors. The Ping Pong driver also reads the first local +scratchpad, and writes the value plus one to the first peer scratchpad, each +round before writing the peer doorbell register. + +Module Parameters: + +* unsafe - Some hardware has known issues with scratchpad and doorbell + registers. By default, Ping Pong will not attempt to exercise such + hardware. You may override this behavior at your own risk by setting + unsafe=1. +* delay\_ms - Specify the delay between receiving a doorbell + interrupt event and setting the peer doorbell register for the next + round. +* init\_db - Specify the doorbell bits to start new series of rounds. A new + series begins once all the doorbell bits have been shifted out of + range. +* dyndbg - It is suggested to specify dyndbg=+p when loading this module, and + then to observe debugging output on the console. + +NTB Tool Test Client (ntb\_tool) +-------------------------------- + +The Tool test client serves for debugging, primarily, ntb hardware and drivers. +The Tool provides access through debugfs for reading, setting, and clearing the +NTB doorbell, and reading and writing scratchpads. + +The Tool does not currently have any module parameters. + +Debugfs Files: + +* *debugfs*/ntb\_tool/*hw*/ + A directory in debugfs will be created for each + NTB device probed by the tool.

Introduction +=============== + +Persistent memory based storage is able to perform IO at byte (or more +accurately, cache line) granularity. However, we often want to expose such +storage as traditional block devices. The block drivers for persistent memory +will do exactly this. However, they do not provide any atomicity guarantees. +Traditional SSDs typically provide protection against torn sectors in hardware, +using stored energy in capacitors to complete in-flight block writes, or perhaps +in firmware. We don't have this luxury with persistent memory - if a write is in +progress, and we experience a power failure, the block will contain a mix of old +and new data. Applications may not be prepared to handle such a scenario. + +The Block Translation Table (BTT) provides atomic sector update semantics for +persistent memory devices, so that applications that rely on sector writes not +being torn can continue to do so. The BTT manifests itself as a stacked block +device, and reserves a portion of the underlying storage for its metadata. At +the heart of it, is an indirection table that re-maps all the blocks on the +volume. It can be thought of as an extremely simple file system that only +provides atomic sector updates. + + +2. Static Layout +================ + +The underlying storage on which a BTT can be laid out is not limited in any way. +The BTT, however, splits the available space into chunks of up to 512 GiB, +called "Arenas". + +Each arena follows the same layout for its metadata, and all references in an +arena are internal to it (with the exception of one field that points to the +next arena).

Reads return zeroes; Premap = Postmap + 0 1 Zero state: Reads return zeroes + 1 0 Error state: Reads fail; Writes clear 'E' bit + 1 1 Normal Block – has valid postmap + == == ==================================================== + +29 - 0 Mappings to internal 'postmap' blocks +======== ============================================================= + + +Some of the terminology that will be subsequently used: + +============ ================================================================ +External LBA LBA as made visible to upper layers. +ABA Arena Block Address - Block offset/number within an arena +Premap ABA The block offset into an arena, which was decided upon by range + checking the External LBA +Postmap ABA The block number in the "Data Blocks" area obtained after + indirection from the map +nfree The number of free blocks that are maintained at any given time. + This is the number of concurrent writes that can happen to the + arena. +============ ================================================================ + + +For example, after adding a BTT, we surface a disk of 1024G. We get a read for +the external LBA at 768G. This falls into the second arena, and of the 512G +worth of blocks that this arena contributes, this block is at 256G. Thus, the +premap ABA is 256G. We now refer to the map, and find out the mapping for block +'X' (256G) points to block 'Y', say '64'. Thus the postmap ABA is 64. + + +b. The BTT Flog +--------------- + +The BTT provides sector atomicity by making every write an "allocating write", +i.e. Every write goes to a "free" block. A running list of free blocks is +maintained in the form of the BTT flog. 'Flog' is a combination of the words +"free list" and "log". The flog contains 'nfree' entries, and an entry contains: + +======== ===================================================================== +lba The premap ABA that is being written to +old_map The old postmap ABA - after 'this' write completes, this will be a + free block. +new_map The new postmap ABA. The map will up updated to reflect this + lba->postmap_aba mapping, but we log it here in case we have to + recover. +seq Sequence number to mark which of the 2 sections of this flog entry is + valid/newest. It cycles between 01->10->11->01 (binary) under normal + operation, with 00 indicating an uninitialized state. +lba' alternate lba entry +old_map' alternate old postmap entry +new_map' alternate new postmap entry +seq' alternate sequence number. +======== ===================================================================== + +Each of the above fields is 32-bit, making one entry 32 bytes. Entries are also +padded to 64 bytes to avoid cache line sharing or aliasing. Flog updates are +done such that for any entry being written, it: +a. overwrites the 'old' section in the entry based on sequence numbers +b. writes the 'new' section such that the sequence number is written last. + + +c. The concept of lanes +----------------------- + +While 'nfree' describes the number of concurrent IOs an arena can process +concurrently, 'nlanes' is the number of IOs the BTT device as a whole can +process:: + + nlanes = min(nfree, num_cpus) + +A lane number is obtained at the start of any IO, and is used for indexing into +all the on-disk and in-memory data structures for the duration of the IO. If +there are more CPUs than the max number of available lanes, than lanes are +protected by spinlocks. + + +d. In-memory data structure: Read Tracking Table (RTT) +------------------------------------------------------ + +Consider a case where we have two threads, one doing reads and the other, +writes. We can hit a condition where the writer thread grabs a free block to do +a new IO, but the (slow) reader thread is still reading from it. In other words, +the reader consulted a map entry, and started reading the corresponding block. A +writer started writing to the same external LBA, and finished the write updating +the map for that external LBA to point to its new postmap ABA. At this point the +internal, postmap block that the reader is (still) reading has been inserted +into the list of free blocks. If another write comes in for the same LBA, it can +grab this free block, and start writing to it, causing the reader to read +incorrect data. To prevent this, we introduce the RTT. + +The RTT is a simple, per arena table with 'nfree' entries. Every reader inserts +into rtt[lane_number], the postmap ABA it is reading, and clears it after the +read is complete. Every writer thread, after grabbing a free block, checks the +RTT for its presence. If the postmap free block is in the RTT, it waits till the +reader clears the RTT entry, and only then starts writing to it. + + +e. In-memory data structure: map locks +-------------------------------------- + +Consider a case where two writer threads are writing to the same LBA. There can +be a race in the following sequence of steps:: + + free[lane] = map[premap_aba] + map[premap_aba] = postmap_aba + +Both threads can update their respective free[lane] with the same old, freed +postmap_aba. This has made the layout inconsistent by losing a free entry, and +at the same time, duplicating another free entry for two lanes. + +To solve this, we could have a single map lock (per arena) that has to be taken +before performing the above sequence, but we feel that could be too contentious. +Instead we use an array of (nfree) map_locks that is indexed by +(premap_aba modulo nfree). + + +f. Reconstruction from the Flog +------------------------------- + +On startup, we analyze the BTT flog to create our list of free blocks. We walk +through all the entries, and for each lane, of the set of two possible +'sections', we always look at the most recent one only (based on the sequence +number). The reconstruction rules/steps are simple: + +- Read map[log_entry.lba]. +- If log_entry.new matches the map entry, then log_entry.old is free. +- If log_entry.new does not match the map entry, then log_entry.new is free. + (This case can only be caused by power-fails/unsafe shutdowns) + + +g. Summarizing - Read and Write flows +------------------------------------- + +Read: + +1. Convert external LBA to arena number + pre-map ABA +2. Get a lane (and take lane_lock) +3. Read map to get the entry for this pre-map ABA +4. Enter post-map ABA into RTT[lane] +5. If TRIM flag set in map, return zeroes, and end IO (go to step 8) +6.

Write new post-map ABA into map. +9. Write old post-map entry into the free list +10. Calculate next sequence number and write into the free list entry +11. Release lane (and lane_lock) + + +4. Error Handling +================= + +An arena would be in an error state if any of the metadata is corrupted +irrecoverably, either due to a bug or a media error. The following conditions +indicate an error: + +- Info block checksum does not match (and recovering from the copy also fails) +- All internal available blocks are not uniquely and entirely addressed by the + sum of mapped blocks and free blocks (from the BTT flog). +- Rebuilding free list from the flog reveals missing/duplicate/impossible + entries +- A map entry is out of bounds + +If any of these error conditions are encountered, the arena is put into a read +only state using a flag in the info block. + + +5. Usage +======== + +The BTT can be set up on any disk (namespace) exposed by the libnvdimm subsystem +(pmem, or blk mode). The easiest way to set up such a namespace is using the +'ndctl' utility [1]: + +For example, the ndctl command line to setup a btt with a 4k sector size is:: + + ndctl create-namespace -f -e namespace0.0 -m sector -l 4k + +See ndctl create-namespace --help for more options. + +[1]: https://github.com/pmem/ndctl diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/nvdimm/firmware-activate.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/nvdimm/firmware-activate.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..7ee7decbb --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/nvdimm/firmware-activate.rst @@ -0,0 +1,86 @@ +..

The process of updating that firmware typically +involves a reboot because it has implications for in-flight memory +transactions. However, reboots are disruptive and at least the Intel +persistent memory platform implementation, described by the Intel ACPI +DSM specification [1], has added support for activating firmware at +runtime. + +A native sysfs interface is implemented in libnvdimm to allow platform +to advertise and control their local runtime firmware activation +capability. + +The libnvdimm bus object, ndbusX, implements an ndbusX/firmware/activate +attribute that shows the state of the firmware activation as one of 'idle', +'armed', 'overflow', and 'busy'. + +- idle: + No devices are set / armed to activate firmware + +- armed: + At least one device is armed + +- busy: + In the busy state armed devices are in the process of transitioning + back to idle and completing an activation cycle. + +- overflow: + If the platform has a concept of incremental work needed to perform + the activation it could be the case that too many DIMMs are armed for + activation. In that scenario the potential for firmware activation to + timeout is indicated by the 'overflow' state. + +The 'ndbusX/firmware/activate' property can be written with a value of +either 'live', or 'quiesce'. A value of 'quiesce' triggers the kernel to +run firmware activation from within the equivalent of the hibernation +'freeze' state where drivers and applications are notified to stop their +modifications of system memory. A value of 'live' attempts +firmware activation without this hibernation cycle. The +'ndbusX/firmware/activate' property will be elided completely if no +firmware activation capability is detected. + +Another property 'ndbusX/firmware/capability' indicates a value of +'live' or 'quiesce', where 'live' indicates that the firmware +does not require or inflict any quiesce period on the system to update +firmware. A capability value of 'quiesce' indicates that firmware does +expect and injects a quiet period for the memory controller, but 'live' +may still be written to 'ndbusX/firmware/activate' as an override to +assume the risk of racing firmware update with in-flight device and +application activity. The 'ndbusX/firmware/capability' property will be +elided completely if no firmware activation capability is detected. + +The libnvdimm memory-device / DIMM object, nmemX, implements +'nmemX/firmware/activate' and 'nmemX/firmware/result' attributes to +communicate the per-device firmware activation state.

While the LIBNVDIMM subsystem implementation +is generic and supports pre-NFIT platforms, it was guided by the +superset of capabilities need to support this ACPI 6 definition for +NVDIMM resources. The original implementation supported the +block-window-aperture capability described in the NFIT, but that support +has since been abandoned and never shipped in a product. + +Supporting Documents +-------------------- + +ACPI 6: + https://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6.0.pdf +NVDIMM Namespace: + https://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_Namespace_Spec.pdf +DSM Interface Example: + https://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf +Driver Writer's Guide: + https://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_Driver_Writers_Guide.pdf + +Git Trees +--------- + +LIBNVDIMM: + https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm.git +LIBNDCTL: + https://github.com/pmem/ndctl.git + + +LIBNVDIMM PMEM +============== + +Prior to the arrival of the NFIT, non-volatile memory was described to a +system in various ad-hoc ways. Usually only the bare minimum was +provided, namely, a single system-physical-address range where writes +are expected to be durable after a system power loss. Now, the NFIT +specification standardizes not only the description of PMEM, but also +platform message-passing entry points for control and configuration. + +PMEM (nd_pmem.ko): Drives a system-physical-address range. This range is +contiguous in system memory and may be interleaved (hardware memory controller +striped) across multiple DIMMs. When interleaved the platform may optionally +provide details of which DIMMs are participating in the interleave. + +It is worth noting that when the labeling capability is detected (a EFI +namespace label index block is found), then no block device is created +by default as userspace needs to do at least one allocation of DPA to +the PMEM range. In contrast ND_NAMESPACE_IO ranges, once registered, +can be immediately attached to nd_pmem.

This enables the kernel to track DPA allocations +internally with a static identifier:: + + static int configure_namespace(struct ndctl_region *region, + struct ndctl_namespace *ndns, + struct namespace_parameters *parameters) + { + char devname[50]; + + snprintf(devname, sizeof(devname), "namespace%d.%d", + ndctl_region_get_id(region), paramaters->id); + + ndctl_namespace_set_alt_name(ndns, devname); + /* 'uuid' must be set prior to setting size! */ + ndctl_namespace_set_uuid(ndns, paramaters->uuid); + ndctl_namespace_set_size(ndns, paramaters->size); + /* unlike pmem namespaces, blk namespaces have a sector size */ + if (parameters->lbasize) + ndctl_namespace_set_sector_size(ndns, parameters->lbasize); + ndctl_namespace_enable(ndns); + } + + +Why the Term "namespace"? +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + + 1. Why not "volume" for instance? "volume" ran the risk of confusing + ND (libnvdimm subsystem) to a volume manager like device-mapper. + + 2. The term originated to describe the sub-devices that can be created + within a NVME controller (see the nvme specification: + https://www.nvmexpress.org/specifications/), and NFIT namespaces are + meant to parallel the capabilities and configurability of + NVME-namespaces. + + +LIBNVDIMM/LIBNDCTL: Block Translation Table "btt" +------------------------------------------------- + +A BTT (design document: https://pmem.io/2014/09/23/btt.html) is a +personality driver for a namespace that fronts entire namespace as an +'address abstraction'. + +LIBNVDIMM: btt layout +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Every region will start out with at least one BTT device which is the +seed device. To activate it set the "namespace", "uuid", and +"sector_size" attributes and then bind the device to the nd_pmem or +nd_blk driver depending on the region type:: + + /sys/devices/platform/nfit_test.1/ndbus0/region0/btt0/ + |-- namespace + |-- delete + |-- devtype + |-- modalias + |-- numa_node + |-- sector_size + |-- subsystem -> ../../../../../bus/nd + |-- uevent + `-- uuid + +LIBNDCTL: btt creation example +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Similar to namespaces an idle BTT device is automatically created per +region. Each time this "seed" btt device is configured and enabled a new +seed is created. Creating a BTT configuration involves two steps of +finding and idle BTT and assigning it to consume a namespace. + +:: + + static struct ndctl_btt *get_idle_btt(struct ndctl_region *region) + { + struct ndctl_btt *btt; + + ndctl_btt_foreach(region, btt) + if (!ndctl_btt_is_enabled(btt) + && !ndctl_btt_is_configured(btt)) + return btt; + + return NULL; + } + + static int configure_btt(struct ndctl_region *region, + struct btt_parameters *parameters) + { + btt = get_idle_btt(region); + + ndctl_btt_set_uuid(btt, parameters->uuid); + ndctl_btt_set_sector_size(btt, parameters->sector_size); + ndctl_btt_set_namespace(btt, parameters->ndns); + /* turn off raw mode device */ + ndctl_namespace_disable(parameters->ndns); + /* turn on btt access */ + ndctl_btt_enable(btt); + } + +Once instantiated a new inactive btt seed device will appear underneath +the region. + +Once a "namespace" is removed from a BTT that instance of the BTT device +will be deleted or otherwise reset to default values. This deletion is +only at the device model level. In order to destroy a BTT the "info +block" needs to be destroyed. Note, that to destroy a BTT the media +needs to be written in raw mode. By default, the kernel will autodetect +the presence of a BTT and disable raw mode. This autodetect behavior +can be suppressed by enabling raw mode for the namespace via the +ndctl_namespace_set_raw_mode() API. + + +Summary LIBNDCTL Diagram +------------------------ + +For the given example above, here is the view of the objects as seen by the +LIBNDCTL API:: + + +---+ + |CTX| + +-+-+ + | + +-------+ | + | DIMM0 <-+ | +---------+ +--------------+ +---------------+ + +-------+ | | +-> REGION0 +---> NAMESPACE0.0 +--> PMEM8 "pm0.0" | + | DIMM1 <-+ +-v--+ | +---------+ +--------------+ +---------------+ + +-------+ +-+BUS0+-| +---------+ +--------------+ +----------------------+ + | DIMM2 <-+ +----+ +-> REGION1 +---> NAMESPACE1.0 +--> PMEM6 "pm1.0" | BTT1 | + +-------+ | | +---------+ +--------------+ +---------------+------+ + | DIMM3 <-+ + +-------+ diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/nvdimm/security.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/nvdimm/security.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..7aab71524 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/nvdimm/security.rst @@ -0,0 +1,143 @@ +=============== +NVDIMM Security +=============== + +1. Introduction +--------------- + +With the introduction of Intel Device Specific Methods (DSM) v1.8 +specification [1], security DSMs are introduced. The spec added the following +security DSMs: "get security state", "set passphrase", "disable passphrase", +"unlock unit", "freeze lock", "secure erase", and "overwrite". A security_ops +data structure has been added to struct dimm in order to support the security +operations and generic APIs are exposed to allow vendor neutral operations. + +2. Sysfs Interface +------------------ +The "security" sysfs attribute is provided in the nvdimm sysfs directory. For +example: +/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/ACPI0012:00/ndbus0/nmem0/security + +The "show" attribute of that attribute will display the security state for +that DIMM. The following states are available: disabled, unlocked, locked, +frozen, and overwrite. If security is not supported, the sysfs attribute +will not be visible. + +The "store" attribute takes several commands when it is being written to +in order to support some of the security functionalities: +update <old_keyid> <new_keyid> - enable or update passphrase. +disable <keyid> - disable enabled security and remove key. +freeze - freeze changing of security states. +erase <keyid> - delete existing user encryption key. +overwrite <keyid> - wipe the entire nvdimm. +master_update <keyid> <new_keyid> - enable or update master passphrase. +master_erase <keyid> - delete existing user encryption key. + +3. Key Management +----------------- + +The key is associated to the payload by the DIMM id. For example: +# cat /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/ACPI0012:00/ndbus0/nmem0/nfit/id +8089-a2-1740-00000133 +The DIMM id would be provided along with the key payload (passphrase) to +the kernel. + +The security keys are managed on the basis of a single key per DIMM. The +key "passphrase" is expected to be 32bytes long. This is similar to the ATA +security specification [2]. A key is initially acquired via the request_key() +kernel API call during nvdimm unlock. It is up to the user to make sure that +all the keys are in the kernel user keyring for unlock. + +A nvdimm encrypted-key of format enc32 has the description format of: +nvdimm:<bus-provider-specific-unique-id> + +See file ``Documentation/security/keys/trusted-encrypted.rst`` for creating +encrypted-keys of enc32 format. TPM usage with a master trusted key is +preferred for sealing the encrypted-keys. + +4. Unlocking +------------ +When the DIMMs are being enumerated by the kernel, the kernel will attempt to +retrieve the key from the kernel user keyring. This is the only time +a locked DIMM can be unlocked. Once unlocked, the DIMM will remain unlocked +until reboot. Typically an entity (i.e. shell script) will inject all the +relevant encrypted-keys into the kernel user keyring during the initramfs phase. +This provides the unlock function access to all the related keys that contain +the passphrase for the respective nvdimms. It is also recommended that the +keys are injected before libnvdimm is loaded by modprobe. + +5. Update +--------- +When doing an update, it is expected that the existing key is removed from +the kernel user keyring and reinjected as different (old) key. It's irrelevant +what the key description is for the old key since we are only interested in the +keyid when doing the update operation. It is also expected that the new key +is injected with the description format described from earlier in this +document. The update command written to the sysfs attribute will be with +the format: +update <old keyid> <new keyid> + +If there is no old keyid due to a security enabling, then a 0 should be +passed in. + +6. Freeze +--------- +The freeze operation does not require any keys. The security config can be +frozen by a user with root privelege. + +7. Disable +---------- +The security disable command format is: +disable <keyid> + +An key with the current passphrase payload that is tied to the nvdimm should be +in the kernel user keyring. + +8. Secure Erase +--------------- +The command format for doing a secure erase is: +erase <keyid> + +An key with the current passphrase payload that is tied to the nvdimm should be +in the kernel user keyring. + +9. Overwrite +------------ +The command format for doing an overwrite is: +overwrite <keyid> + +Overwrite can be done without a key if security is not enabled. A key serial +of 0 can be passed in to indicate no key. + +The sysfs attribute "security" can be polled to wait on overwrite completion. +Overwrite can last tens of minutes or more depending on nvdimm size. + +An encrypted-key with the current user passphrase that is tied to the nvdimm +should be injected and its keyid should be passed in via sysfs. + +10. Master Update +----------------- +The command format for doing a master update is: +update <old keyid> <new keyid> + +The operating mechanism for master update is identical to update except the +master passphrase key is passed to the kernel. The master passphrase key +is just another encrypted-key. + +This command is only available when security is disabled. + +11. Master Erase +---------------- +The command format for doing a master erase is: +master_erase <current keyid> + +This command has the same operating mechanism as erase except the master +passphrase key is passed to the kernel. The master passphrase key is just +another encrypted-key. + +This command is only available when the master security is enabled, indicated +by the extended security status. + +[1]: https://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface-V1.8.pdf + +[2]: http://www.t13.org/documents/UploadedDocuments/docs2006/e05179r4-ACS-SecurityClarifications.pdf diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/nvmem.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/nvmem.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..e3366322d --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/nvmem.rst @@ -0,0 +1,187 @@ +.. SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +=============== +NVMEM Subsystem +=============== + + Srinivas Kandagatla <srinivas.kandagatla@linaro.org> + +This document explains the NVMEM Framework along with the APIs provided, +and how to use it. + +1. Introduction +=============== +*NVMEM* is the abbreviation for Non Volatile Memory layer. It is used to +retrieve configuration of SOC or Device specific data from non volatile +memories like eeprom, efuses and so on. + +Before this framework existed, NVMEM drivers like eeprom were stored in +drivers/misc, where they all had to duplicate pretty much the same code to +register a sysfs file, allow in-kernel users to access the content of the +devices they were driving, etc. + +This was also a problem as far as other in-kernel users were involved, since +the solutions used were pretty much different from one driver to another, there +was a rather big abstraction leak. + +This framework aims at solve these problems. It also introduces DT +representation for consumer devices to go get the data they require (MAC +Addresses, SoC/Revision ID, part numbers, and so on) from the NVMEMs. + +NVMEM Providers ++++++++++++++++ + +NVMEM provider refers to an entity that implements methods to initialize, read +and write the non-volatile memory. + +2. Registering/Unregistering the NVMEM provider +=============================================== + +A NVMEM provider can register with NVMEM core by supplying relevant +nvmem configuration to nvmem_register(), on success core would return a valid +nvmem_device pointer. + +nvmem_unregister(nvmem) is used to unregister a previously registered provider. + +For example, a simple nvram case:: + + static int brcm_nvram_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + struct nvmem_config config = { + .name = "brcm-nvram", + .reg_read = brcm_nvram_read, + }; + ... + config.dev = &pdev->dev; + config.priv = priv; + config.size = resource_size(res); + + devm_nvmem_register(&config); + } + +Users of board files can define and register nvmem cells using the +nvmem_cell_table struct:: + + static struct nvmem_cell_info foo_nvmem_cells[] = { + { + .name = "macaddr", + .offset = 0x7f00, + .bytes = ETH_ALEN, + } + }; + + static struct nvmem_cell_table foo_nvmem_cell_table = { + .nvmem_name = "i2c-eeprom", + .cells = foo_nvmem_cells, + .ncells = ARRAY_SIZE(foo_nvmem_cells), + }; + + nvmem_add_cell_table(&foo_nvmem_cell_table); + +Additionally it is possible to create nvmem cell lookup entries and register +them with the nvmem framework from machine code as shown in the example below:: + + static struct nvmem_cell_lookup foo_nvmem_lookup = { + .nvmem_name = "i2c-eeprom", + .cell_name = "macaddr", + .dev_id = "foo_mac.0", + .con_id = "mac-address", + }; + + nvmem_add_cell_lookups(&foo_nvmem_lookup, 1); + +NVMEM Consumers ++++++++++++++++ + +NVMEM consumers are the entities which make use of the NVMEM provider to +read from and to NVMEM. + +3. NVMEM cell based consumer APIs +================================= + +NVMEM cells are the data entries/fields in the NVMEM. +The NVMEM framework provides 3 APIs to read/write NVMEM cells:: + + struct nvmem_cell *nvmem_cell_get(struct device *dev, const char *name); + struct nvmem_cell *devm_nvmem_cell_get(struct device *dev, const char *name); + + void nvmem_cell_put(struct nvmem_cell *cell); + void devm_nvmem_cell_put(struct device *dev, struct nvmem_cell *cell); + + void *nvmem_cell_read(struct nvmem_cell *cell, ssize_t *len); + int nvmem_cell_write(struct nvmem_cell *cell, void *buf, ssize_t len); + +`*nvmem_cell_get()` apis will get a reference to nvmem cell for a given id, +and nvmem_cell_read/write() can then read or write to the cell. +Once the usage of the cell is finished the consumer should call +`*nvmem_cell_put()` to free all the allocation memory for the cell. + +4. Direct NVMEM device based consumer APIs +========================================== + +In some instances it is necessary to directly read/write the NVMEM. +To facilitate such consumers NVMEM framework provides below apis:: + + struct nvmem_device *nvmem_device_get(struct device *dev, const char *name); + struct nvmem_device *devm_nvmem_device_get(struct device *dev, + const char *name); + struct nvmem_device *nvmem_device_find(void *data, + int (*match)(struct device *dev, const void *data)); + void nvmem_device_put(struct nvmem_device *nvmem); + int nvmem_device_read(struct nvmem_device *nvmem, unsigned int offset, + size_t bytes, void *buf); + int nvmem_device_write(struct nvmem_device *nvmem, unsigned int offset, + size_t bytes, void *buf); + int nvmem_device_cell_read(struct nvmem_device *nvmem, + struct nvmem_cell_info *info, void *buf); + int nvmem_device_cell_write(struct nvmem_device *nvmem, + struct nvmem_cell_info *info, void *buf); + +Before the consumers can read/write NVMEM directly, it should get hold +of nvmem_controller from one of the `*nvmem_device_get()` api. + +The difference between these apis and cell based apis is that these apis always +take nvmem_device as parameter. + +5. Releasing a reference to the NVMEM +===================================== + +When a consumer no longer needs the NVMEM, it has to release the reference +to the NVMEM it has obtained using the APIs mentioned in the above section. +The NVMEM framework provides 2 APIs to release a reference to the NVMEM:: + + void nvmem_cell_put(struct nvmem_cell *cell); + void devm_nvmem_cell_put(struct device *dev, struct nvmem_cell *cell); + void nvmem_device_put(struct nvmem_device *nvmem); + void devm_nvmem_device_put(struct device *dev, struct nvmem_device *nvmem); + +Both these APIs are used to release a reference to the NVMEM and +devm_nvmem_cell_put and devm_nvmem_device_put destroys the devres associated +with this NVMEM. + +Userspace ++++++++++ + +6.

Once you have done that, you will be able to use +parport_claim and parport_release in order to use the port. + +The (``name``) argument is the name of the device that appears in /proc +filesystem. The string must be valid for the whole lifetime of the +device (until parport_unregister_device is called). + +This function will register three callbacks into your driver: +``preempt``, ``wakeup`` and ``irq``. Each of these may be NULL in order to +indicate that you do not want a callback. + +When the ``preempt`` function is called, it is because another driver +wishes to use the parallel port.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================ +PCI Peer-to-Peer DMA Support +============================ + +The PCI bus has pretty decent support for performing DMA transfers +between two devices on the bus. This type of transaction is henceforth +called Peer-to-Peer (or P2P). However, there are a number of issues that +make P2P transactions tricky to do in a perfectly safe way. + +One of the biggest issues is that PCI doesn't require forwarding +transactions between hierarchy domains, and in PCIe, each Root Port +defines a separate hierarchy domain. To make things worse, there is no +simple way to determine if a given Root Complex supports this or not. +(See PCIe r4.0, sec 1.3.1). Therefore, as of this writing, the kernel +only supports doing P2P when the endpoints involved are all behind the +same PCI bridge, as such devices are all in the same PCI hierarchy +domain, and the spec guarantees that all transactions within the +hierarchy will be routable, but it does not require routing +between hierarchies. + +The second issue is that to make use of existing interfaces in Linux, +memory that is used for P2P transactions needs to be backed by struct +pages. However, PCI BARs are not typically cache coherent so there are +a few corner case gotchas with these pages so developers need to +be careful about what they do with them. + + +Driver Writer's Guide +===================== + +In a given P2P implementation there may be three or more different +types of kernel drivers in play: + +* Provider - A driver which provides or publishes P2P resources like + memory or doorbell registers to other drivers. +* Client - A driver which makes use of a resource by setting up a + DMA transaction to or from it. +* Orchestrator - A driver which orchestrates the flow of data between + clients and providers. + +In many cases there could be overlap between these three types (i.e., +it may be typical for a driver to be both a provider and a client). + +For example, in the NVMe Target Copy Offload implementation: + +* The NVMe PCI driver is both a client, provider and orchestrator + in that it exposes any CMB (Controller Memory Buffer) as a P2P memory + resource (provider), it accepts P2P memory pages as buffers in requests + to be used directly (client) and it can also make use of the CMB as + submission queue entries (orchestrator). +* The RDMA driver is a client in this arrangement so that an RNIC + can DMA directly to the memory exposed by the NVMe device. +* The NVMe Target driver (nvmet) can orchestrate the data from the RNIC + to the P2P memory (CMB) and then to the NVMe device (and vice versa). + +This is currently the only arrangement supported by the kernel but +one could imagine slight tweaks to this that would allow for the same +functionality. For example, if a specific RNIC added a BAR with some +memory behind it, its driver could add support as a P2P provider and +then the NVMe Target could use the RNIC's memory instead of the CMB +in cases where the NVMe cards in use do not have CMB support. + + +Provider Drivers +---------------- + +A provider simply needs to register a BAR (or a portion of a BAR) +as a P2P DMA resource using :c:func:`pci_p2pdma_add_resource()`. +This will register struct pages for all the specified memory. + +After that it may optionally publish all of its resources as +P2P memory using :c:func:`pci_p2pmem_publish()`. This will allow +any orchestrator drivers to find and use the memory. When marked in +this way, the resource must be regular memory with no side effects. + +For the time being this is fairly rudimentary in that all resources +are typically going to be P2P memory. Future work will likely expand +this to include other types of resources like doorbells. + + +Client Drivers +-------------- + +A client driver only has to use the mapping API :c:func:`dma_map_sg()` +and :c:func:`dma_unmap_sg()` functions as usual, and the implementation +will do the right thing for the P2P capable memory. + + +Orchestrator Drivers +-------------------- + +The first task an orchestrator driver must do is compile a list of +all client devices that will be involved in a given transaction. For +example, the NVMe Target driver creates a list including the namespace +block device and the RNIC in use. If the orchestrator has access to +a specific P2P provider to use it may check compatibility using +:c:func:`pci_p2pdma_distance()` otherwise it may find a memory provider +that's compatible with all clients using :c:func:`pci_p2pmem_find()`. +If more than one provider is supported, the one nearest to all the clients will +be chosen first. If more than one provider is an equal distance away, the +one returned will be chosen at random (it is not an arbitrary but +truly random). This function returns the PCI device to use for the provider +with a reference taken and therefore when it's no longer needed it should be +returned with pci_dev_put(). + +Once a provider is selected, the orchestrator can then use +:c:func:`pci_alloc_p2pmem()` and :c:func:`pci_free_p2pmem()` to +allocate P2P memory from the provider. :c:func:`pci_p2pmem_alloc_sgl()` +and :c:func:`pci_p2pmem_free_sgl()` are convenience functions for +allocating scatter-gather lists with P2P memory. + +Struct Page Caveats +------------------- + +Driver writers should be very careful about not passing these special +struct pages to code that isn't prepared for it. At this time, the kernel +interfaces do not have any checks for ensuring this. This obviously +precludes passing these pages to userspace. + +P2P memory is also technically IO memory but should never have any side +effects behind it. Thus, the order of loads and stores should not be important +and ioreadX(), iowriteX() and friends should not be necessary. + + +P2P DMA Support Library +======================= + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/pci/p2pdma.c + :export: diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/pci/pci.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/pci/pci.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..4843cfad4 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/pci/pci.rst @@ -0,0 +1,47 @@ +PCI Support Library +------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/pci/pci.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/pci/pci-driver.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/pci/remove.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/pci/search.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/pci/msi/msi.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/pci/bus.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/pci/access.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/pci/irq.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/pci/probe.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/pci/slot.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/pci/rom.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/pci/iov.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c + :internal: + +PCI Hotplug Support Library +--------------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/pci/hotplug/pci_hotplug_core.c + :export: diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/phy/index.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/phy/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..69ba1216d --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/phy/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,18 @@ +..

It is used to connect a device +to the physical medium e.g., the USB controller has a PHY to provide functions +such as serialization, de-serialization, encoding, decoding and is responsible +for obtaining the required data transmission rate. Note that some USB +controllers have PHY functionality embedded into it and others use an external +PHY.

If the PHY provider implements multiple instances, it +should provide its own implementation of of_xlate. of_xlate is used only for +dt boot case. + +:: + + #define of_phy_provider_register(dev, xlate) \ + __of_phy_provider_register((dev), NULL, THIS_MODULE, (xlate)) + + #define devm_of_phy_provider_register(dev, xlate) \ + __devm_of_phy_provider_register((dev), NULL, THIS_MODULE, + (xlate)) + +of_phy_provider_register and devm_of_phy_provider_register macros can be used to +register the phy_provider and it takes device and of_xlate as +arguments. For the dt boot case, all PHY providers should use one of the above +2 macros to register the PHY provider. + +Often the device tree nodes associated with a PHY provider will contain a set +of children that each represent a single PHY. Some bindings may nest the child +nodes within extra levels for context and extensibility, in which case the low +level of_phy_provider_register_full() and devm_of_phy_provider_register_full() +macros can be used to override the node containing the children. + +:: + + #define of_phy_provider_register_full(dev, children, xlate) \ + __of_phy_provider_register(dev, children, THIS_MODULE, xlate) + + #define devm_of_phy_provider_register_full(dev, children, xlate) \ + __devm_of_phy_provider_register_full(dev, children, + THIS_MODULE, xlate) + + void devm_of_phy_provider_unregister(struct device *dev, + struct phy_provider *phy_provider); + void of_phy_provider_unregister(struct phy_provider *phy_provider); + +devm_of_phy_provider_unregister and of_phy_provider_unregister can be used to +unregister the PHY. + +Creating the PHY +================ + +The PHY driver should create the PHY in order for other peripheral controllers +to make use of it. The PHY framework provides 2 APIs to create the PHY. + +:: + + struct phy *phy_create(struct device *dev, struct device_node *node, + const struct phy_ops *ops); + struct phy *devm_phy_create(struct device *dev, + struct device_node *node, + const struct phy_ops *ops); + +The PHY drivers can use one of the above 2 APIs to create the PHY by passing +the device pointer and phy ops. +phy_ops is a set of function pointers for performing PHY operations such as +init, exit, power_on and power_off. + +Inorder to dereference the private data (in phy_ops), the phy provider driver +can use phy_set_drvdata() after creating the PHY and use phy_get_drvdata() in +phy_ops to get back the private data. + +4. Getting a reference to the PHY + +Before the controller can make use of the PHY, it has to get a reference to +it. This framework provides the following APIs to get a reference to the PHY. + +:: + + struct phy *phy_get(struct device *dev, const char *string); + struct phy *phy_optional_get(struct device *dev, const char *string); + struct phy *devm_phy_get(struct device *dev, const char *string); + struct phy *devm_phy_optional_get(struct device *dev, + const char *string); + struct phy *devm_of_phy_get_by_index(struct device *dev, + struct device_node *np, + int index); + +phy_get, phy_optional_get, devm_phy_get and devm_phy_optional_get can +be used to get the PHY. In the case of dt boot, the string arguments +should contain the phy name as given in the dt data and in the case of +non-dt boot, it should contain the label of the PHY. The two +devm_phy_get associates the device with the PHY using devres on +successful PHY get. On driver detach, release function is invoked on +the devres data and devres data is freed. phy_optional_get and +devm_phy_optional_get should be used when the phy is optional. These +two functions will never return -ENODEV, but instead returns NULL when +the phy cannot be found.Some generic drivers, such as ehci, may use multiple +phys and for such drivers referencing phy(s) by name(s) does not make sense. In +this case, devm_of_phy_get_by_index can be used to get a phy reference based on +the index. + +It should be noted that NULL is a valid phy reference. All phy +consumer calls on the NULL phy become NOPs. That is the release calls, +the phy_init() and phy_exit() calls, and phy_power_on() and +phy_power_off() calls are all NOP when applied to a NULL phy. The NULL +phy is useful in devices for handling optional phy devices. + +Releasing a reference to the PHY +================================ + +When the controller no longer needs the PHY, it has to release the reference +to the PHY it has obtained using the APIs mentioned in the above section. The +PHY framework provides 2 APIs to release a reference to the PHY. + +:: + + void phy_put(struct phy *phy); + void devm_phy_put(struct device *dev, struct phy *phy); + +Both these APIs are used to release a reference to the PHY and devm_phy_put +destroys the devres associated with this PHY. + +Destroying the PHY +================== + +When the driver that created the PHY is unloaded, it should destroy the PHY it +created using one of the following 2 APIs:: + + void phy_destroy(struct phy *phy); + void devm_phy_destroy(struct device *dev, struct phy *phy); + +Both these APIs destroy the PHY and devm_phy_destroy destroys the devres +associated with this PHY. + +PM Runtime +========== + +This subsystem is pm runtime enabled. So while creating the PHY, +pm_runtime_enable of the phy device created by this subsystem is called and +while destroying the PHY, pm_runtime_disable is called. Note that the phy +device created by this subsystem will be a child of the device that calls +phy_create (PHY provider device). + +So pm_runtime_get_sync of the phy_device created by this subsystem will invoke +pm_runtime_get_sync of PHY provider device because of parent-child relationship. +It should also be noted that phy_power_on and phy_power_off performs +phy_pm_runtime_get_sync and phy_pm_runtime_put respectively. +There are exported APIs like phy_pm_runtime_get, phy_pm_runtime_get_sync, +phy_pm_runtime_put, phy_pm_runtime_put_sync, phy_pm_runtime_allow and +phy_pm_runtime_forbid for performing PM operations. + +PHY Mappings +============ + +In order to get reference to a PHY without help from DeviceTree, the framework +offers lookups which can be compared to clkdev that allow clk structures to be +bound to devices. A lookup can be made during runtime when a handle to the +struct phy already exists. + +The framework offers the following API for registering and unregistering the +lookups:: + + int phy_create_lookup(struct phy *phy, const char *con_id, + const char *dev_id); + void phy_remove_lookup(struct phy *phy, const char *con_id, + const char *dev_id); + +DeviceTree Binding +================== + +The documentation for PHY dt binding can be found @ +Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/phy-bindings.txt diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/phy/samsung-usb2.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/phy/samsung-usb2.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..c48c8b979 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/phy/samsung-usb2.rst @@ -0,0 +1,137 @@ +==================================== +Samsung USB 2.0 PHY adaptation layer +==================================== + +1.

This file contains + the probe function and provides two callbacks to the Generic PHY + Framework. This two callbacks are used to power on and power off the + phy.

Supporting SoCs +------------------ + +To support a new SoC a new file should be added to the drivers/phy +directory.

Maintaining the data structure of +the groups is up to the driver, this is just a simple example - in practice you +may need more entries in your group structure, for example specific register +ranges associated with each group and so on. + + +Pin configuration +================= + +Pins can sometimes be software-configured in various ways, mostly related +to their electronic properties when used as inputs or outputs.

But in some +situations a cross-subsystem mapping between pins and GPIOs is needed. + +Since the pin controller subsystem has its pinspace local to the pin controller +we need a mapping so that the pin control subsystem can figure out which pin +controller handles control of a certain GPIO pin. Since a single pin controller +may be muxing several GPIO ranges (typically SoCs that have one set of pins, +but internally several GPIO silicon blocks, each modelled as a struct +gpio_chip) any number of GPIO ranges can be added to a pin controller instance +like this:: + + struct gpio_chip chip_a; + struct gpio_chip chip_b; + + static struct pinctrl_gpio_range gpio_range_a = { + .name = "chip a", + .id = 0, + .base = 32, + .pin_base = 32, + .npins = 16, + .gc = &chip_a; + }; + + static struct pinctrl_gpio_range gpio_range_b = { + .name = "chip b", + .id = 0, + .base = 48, + .pin_base = 64, + .npins = 8, + .gc = &chip_b; + }; + + { + struct pinctrl_dev *pctl; + ... + pinctrl_add_gpio_range(pctl, &gpio_range_a); + pinctrl_add_gpio_range(pctl, &gpio_range_b); + } + +So this complex system has one pin controller handling two different +GPIO chips. "chip a" has 16 pins and "chip b" has 8 pins. The "chip a" and +"chip b" have different .pin_base, which means a start pin number of the +GPIO range. + +The GPIO range of "chip a" starts from the GPIO base of 32 and actual +pin range also starts from 32. However "chip b" has different starting +offset for the GPIO range and pin range. The GPIO range of "chip b" starts +from GPIO number 48, while the pin range of "chip b" starts from 64. + +We can convert a gpio number to actual pin number using this "pin_base". +They are mapped in the global GPIO pin space at: + +chip a: + - GPIO range : [32 .. 47] + - pin range : [32 .. 47] +chip b: + - GPIO range : [48 .. 55] + - pin range : [64 .. 71] + +The above examples assume the mapping between the GPIOs and pins is +linear. If the mapping is sparse or haphazard, an array of arbitrary pin +numbers can be encoded in the range like this:: + + static const unsigned range_pins[] = { 14, 1, 22, 17, 10, 8, 6, 2 }; + + static struct pinctrl_gpio_range gpio_range = { + .name = "chip", + .id = 0, + .base = 32, + .pins = &range_pins, + .npins = ARRAY_SIZE(range_pins), + .gc = &chip; + }; + +In this case the pin_base property will be ignored. If the name of a pin +group is known, the pins and npins elements of the above structure can be +initialised using the function pinctrl_get_group_pins(), e.g. for pin +group "foo":: + + pinctrl_get_group_pins(pctl, "foo", &gpio_range.pins, + &gpio_range.npins); + +When GPIO-specific functions in the pin control subsystem are called, these +ranges will be used to look up the appropriate pin controller by inspecting +and matching the pin to the pin ranges across all controllers. When a +pin controller handling the matching range is found, GPIO-specific functions +will be called on that specific pin controller. + +For all functionalities dealing with pin biasing, pin muxing etc, the pin +controller subsystem will look up the corresponding pin number from the passed +in gpio number, and use the range's internals to retrieve a pin number. After +that, the subsystem passes it on to the pin control driver, so the driver +will get a pin number into its handled number range. Further it is also passed +the range ID value, so that the pin controller knows which range it should +deal with. + +Calling pinctrl_add_gpio_range from pinctrl driver is DEPRECATED. Please see +section 2.1 of Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/gpio.txt on how to bind +pinctrl and gpio drivers. + + +PINMUX interfaces +================= + +These calls use the pinmux_* naming prefix. No other calls should use that +prefix. + + +What is pinmuxing? +================== + +PINMUX, also known as padmux, ballmux, alternate functions or mission modes +is a way for chip vendors producing some kind of electrical packages to use +a certain physical pin (ball, pad, finger, etc) for multiple mutually exclusive +functions, depending on the application. By "application" in this context +we usually mean a way of soldering or wiring the package into an electronic +system, even though the framework makes it possible to also change the function +at runtime. + +Here is an example of a PGA (Pin Grid Array) chip seen from underneath:: + + A B C D E F G H + +---+ + 8 | o | o o o o o o o + | | + 7 | o | o o o o o o o + | | + 6 | o | o o o o o o o + +---+---+ + 5 | o | o | o o o o o o + +---+---+ +---+ + 4 o o o o o o | o | o + | | + 3 o o o o o o | o | o + | | + 2 o o o o o o | o | o + +-------+-------+-------+---+---+ + 1 | o o | o o | o o | o | o | + +-------+-------+-------+---+---+ + +This is not tetris. The game to think of is chess. Not all PGA/BGA packages +are chessboard-like, big ones have "holes" in some arrangement according to +different design patterns, but we're using this as a simple example. Of the +pins you see some will be taken by things like a few VCC and GND to feed power +to the chip, and quite a few will be taken by large ports like an external +memory interface. The remaining pins will often be subject to pin multiplexing. + +The example 8x8 PGA package above will have pin numbers 0 through 63 assigned +to its physical pins. It will name the pins { A1, A2, A3 ... H6, H7, H8 } using +pinctrl_register_pins() and a suitable data set as shown earlier. + +In this 8x8 BGA package the pins { A8, A7, A6, A5 } can be used as an SPI port +(these are four pins: CLK, RXD, TXD, FRM). In that case, pin B5 can be used as +some general-purpose GPIO pin. However, in another setting, pins { A5, B5 } can +be used as an I2C port (these are just two pins: SCL, SDA). Needless to say, +we cannot use the SPI port and I2C port at the same time. However in the inside +of the package the silicon performing the SPI logic can alternatively be routed +out on pins { G4, G3, G2, G1 }. + +On the bottom row at { A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1, G1, H1 } we have something +special - it's an external MMC bus that can be 2, 4 or 8 bits wide, and it will +consume 2, 4 or 8 pins respectively, so either { A1, B1 } are taken or +{ A1, B1, C1, D1 } or all of them. If we use all 8 bits, we cannot use the SPI +port on pins { G4, G3, G2, G1 } of course. + +This way the silicon blocks present inside the chip can be multiplexed "muxed" +out on different pin ranges. Often contemporary SoC (systems on chip) will +contain several I2C, SPI, SDIO/MMC, etc silicon blocks that can be routed to +different pins by pinmux settings. + +Since general-purpose I/O pins (GPIO) are typically always in shortage, it is +common to be able to use almost any pin as a GPIO pin if it is not currently +in use by some other I/O port. + + +Pinmux conventions +================== + +The purpose of the pinmux functionality in the pin controller subsystem is to +abstract and provide pinmux settings to the devices you choose to instantiate +in your machine configuration. It is inspired by the clk, GPIO and regulator +subsystems, so devices will request their mux setting, but it's also possible +to request a single pin for e.g. GPIO. + +Definitions: + +- FUNCTIONS can be switched in and out by a driver residing with the pin + control subsystem in the drivers/pinctrl/* directory of the kernel. The + pin control driver knows the possible functions. In the example above you can + identify three pinmux functions, one for spi, one for i2c and one for mmc. + +- FUNCTIONS are assumed to be enumerable from zero in a one-dimensional array. + In this case the array could be something like: { spi0, i2c0, mmc0 } + for the three available functions. + +- FUNCTIONS have PIN GROUPS as defined on the generic level - so a certain + function is *always* associated with a certain set of pin groups, could + be just a single one, but could also be many. In the example above the + function i2c is associated with the pins { A5, B5 }, enumerated as + { 24, 25 } in the controller pin space. + + The Function spi is associated with pin groups { A8, A7, A6, A5 } + and { G4, G3, G2, G1 }, which are enumerated as { 0, 8, 16, 24 } and + { 38, 46, 54, 62 } respectively. + + Group names must be unique per pin controller, no two groups on the same + controller may have the same name. + +- The combination of a FUNCTION and a PIN GROUP determine a certain function + for a certain set of pins. The knowledge of the functions and pin groups + and their machine-specific particulars are kept inside the pinmux driver, + from the outside only the enumerators are known, and the driver core can + request: + + - The name of a function with a certain selector (>= 0) + - A list of groups associated with a certain function + - That a certain group in that list to be activated for a certain function + + As already described above, pin groups are in turn self-descriptive, so + the core will retrieve the actual pin range in a certain group from the + driver. + +- FUNCTIONS and GROUPS on a certain PIN CONTROLLER are MAPPED to a certain + device by the board file, device tree or similar machine setup configuration + mechanism, similar to how regulators are connected to devices, usually by + name. Defining a pin controller, function and group thus uniquely identify + the set of pins to be used by a certain device. (If only one possible group + of pins is available for the function, no group name need to be supplied - + the core will simply select the first and only group available.) + + In the example case we can define that this particular machine shall + use device spi0 with pinmux function fspi0 group gspi0 and i2c0 on function + fi2c0 group gi2c0, on the primary pin controller, we get mappings + like these:: + + { + {"map-spi0", spi0, pinctrl0, fspi0, gspi0}, + {"map-i2c0", i2c0, pinctrl0, fi2c0, gi2c0} + } + + Every map must be assigned a state name, pin controller, device and + function. The group is not compulsory - if it is omitted the first group + presented by the driver as applicable for the function will be selected, + which is useful for simple cases. + + It is possible to map several groups to the same combination of device, + pin controller and function. This is for cases where a certain function on + a certain pin controller may use different sets of pins in different + configurations. + +- PINS for a certain FUNCTION using a certain PIN GROUP on a certain + PIN CONTROLLER are provided on a first-come first-serve basis, so if some + other device mux setting or GPIO pin request has already taken your physical + pin, you will be denied the use of it. To get (activate) a new setting, the + old one has to be put (deactivated) first. + +Sometimes the documentation and hardware registers will be oriented around +pads (or "fingers") rather than pins - these are the soldering surfaces on the +silicon inside the package, and may or may not match the actual number of +pins/balls underneath the capsule. Pick some enumeration that makes sense to +you. Define enumerators only for the pins you can control if that makes sense. + +Assumptions: + +We assume that the number of possible function maps to pin groups is limited by +the hardware. I.e. we assume that there is no system where any function can be +mapped to any pin, like in a phone exchange. So the available pin groups for +a certain function will be limited to a few choices (say up to eight or so), +not hundreds or any amount of choices. This is the characteristic we have found +by inspecting available pinmux hardware, and a necessary assumption since we +expect pinmux drivers to present *all* possible function vs pin group mappings +to the subsystem. + + +Pinmux drivers +============== + +The pinmux core takes care of preventing conflicts on pins and calling +the pin controller driver to execute different settings. + +It is the responsibility of the pinmux driver to impose further restrictions +(say for example infer electronic limitations due to load, etc.) to determine +whether or not the requested function can actually be allowed, and in case it +is possible to perform the requested mux setting, poke the hardware so that +this happens. + +Pinmux drivers are required to supply a few callback functions, some are +optional. Usually the set_mux() function is implemented, writing values into +some certain registers to activate a certain mux setting for a certain pin. + +A simple driver for the above example will work by setting bits 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 +into some register named MUX to select a certain function with a certain +group of pins would work something like this:: + + #include <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h> + #include <linux/pinctrl/pinmux.h> + + struct foo_group { + const char *name; + const unsigned int *pins; + const unsigned num_pins; + }; + + static const unsigned spi0_0_pins[] = { 0, 8, 16, 24 }; + static const unsigned spi0_1_pins[] = { 38, 46, 54, 62 }; + static const unsigned i2c0_pins[] = { 24, 25 }; + static const unsigned mmc0_1_pins[] = { 56, 57 }; + static const unsigned mmc0_2_pins[] = { 58, 59 }; + static const unsigned mmc0_3_pins[] = { 60, 61, 62, 63 }; + + static const struct foo_group foo_groups[] = { + { + .name = "spi0_0_grp", + .pins = spi0_0_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(spi0_0_pins), + }, + { + .name = "spi0_1_grp", + .pins = spi0_1_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(spi0_1_pins), + }, + { + .name = "i2c0_grp", + .pins = i2c0_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(i2c0_pins), + }, + { + .name = "mmc0_1_grp", + .pins = mmc0_1_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(mmc0_1_pins), + }, + { + .name = "mmc0_2_grp", + .pins = mmc0_2_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(mmc0_2_pins), + }, + { + .name = "mmc0_3_grp", + .pins = mmc0_3_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(mmc0_3_pins), + }, + }; + + + static int foo_get_groups_count(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev) + { + return ARRAY_SIZE(foo_groups); + } + + static const char *foo_get_group_name(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, + unsigned selector) + { + return foo_groups[selector].name; + } + + static int foo_get_group_pins(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector, + const unsigned ** pins, + unsigned * num_pins) + { + *pins = (unsigned *) foo_groups[selector].pins; + *num_pins = foo_groups[selector].num_pins; + return 0; + } + + static struct pinctrl_ops foo_pctrl_ops = { + .get_groups_count = foo_get_groups_count, + .get_group_name = foo_get_group_name, + .get_group_pins = foo_get_group_pins, + }; + + struct foo_pmx_func { + const char *name; + const char * const *groups; + const unsigned num_groups; + }; + + static const char * const spi0_groups[] = { "spi0_0_grp", "spi0_1_grp" }; + static const char * const i2c0_groups[] = { "i2c0_grp" }; + static const char * const mmc0_groups[] = { "mmc0_1_grp", "mmc0_2_grp", + "mmc0_3_grp" }; + + static const struct foo_pmx_func foo_functions[] = { + { + .name = "spi0", + .groups = spi0_groups, + .num_groups = ARRAY_SIZE(spi0_groups), + }, + { + .name = "i2c0", + .groups = i2c0_groups, + .num_groups = ARRAY_SIZE(i2c0_groups), + }, + { + .name = "mmc0", + .groups = mmc0_groups, + .num_groups = ARRAY_SIZE(mmc0_groups), + }, + }; + + static int foo_get_functions_count(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev) + { + return ARRAY_SIZE(foo_functions); + } + + static const char *foo_get_fname(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector) + { + return foo_functions[selector].name; + } + + static int foo_get_groups(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector, + const char * const **groups, + unsigned * const num_groups) + { + *groups = foo_functions[selector].groups; + *num_groups = foo_functions[selector].num_groups; + return 0; + } + + static int foo_set_mux(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector, + unsigned group) + { + u8 regbit = (1 << selector + group); + + writeb((readb(MUX)|regbit), MUX); + return 0; + } + + static struct pinmux_ops foo_pmxops = { + .get_functions_count = foo_get_functions_count, + .get_function_name = foo_get_fname, + .get_function_groups = foo_get_groups, + .set_mux = foo_set_mux, + .strict = true, + }; + + /* Pinmux operations are handled by some pin controller */ + static struct pinctrl_desc foo_desc = { + ... + .pctlops = &foo_pctrl_ops, + .pmxops = &foo_pmxops, + }; + +In the example activating muxing 0 and 1 at the same time setting bits +0 and 1, uses one pin in common so they would collide. + +The beauty of the pinmux subsystem is that since it keeps track of all +pins and who is using them, it will already have denied an impossible +request like that, so the driver does not need to worry about such +things - when it gets a selector passed in, the pinmux subsystem makes +sure no other device or GPIO assignment is already using the selected +pins. Thus bits 0 and 1 in the control register will never be set at the +same time. + +All the above functions are mandatory to implement for a pinmux driver. + + +Pin control interaction with the GPIO subsystem +=============================================== + +Note that the following implies that the use case is to use a certain pin +from the Linux kernel using the API in <linux/gpio.h> with gpio_request() +and similar functions. There are cases where you may be using something +that your datasheet calls "GPIO mode", but actually is just an electrical +configuration for a certain device. See the section below named +"GPIO mode pitfalls" for more details on this scenario. + +The public pinmux API contains two functions named pinctrl_gpio_request() +and pinctrl_gpio_free(). These two functions shall *ONLY* be called from +gpiolib-based drivers as part of their gpio_request() and +gpio_free() semantics. Likewise the pinctrl_gpio_direction_[input|output] +shall only be called from within respective gpio_direction_[input|output] +gpiolib implementation. + +NOTE that platforms and individual drivers shall *NOT* request GPIO pins to be +controlled e.g. muxed in. Instead, implement a proper gpiolib driver and have +that driver request proper muxing and other control for its pins. + +The function list could become long, especially if you can convert every +individual pin into a GPIO pin independent of any other pins, and then try +the approach to define every pin as a function. + +In this case, the function array would become 64 entries for each GPIO +setting and then the device functions. + +For this reason there are two functions a pin control driver can implement +to enable only GPIO on an individual pin: .gpio_request_enable() and +.gpio_disable_free(). + +This function will pass in the affected GPIO range identified by the pin +controller core, so you know which GPIO pins are being affected by the request +operation. + +If your driver needs to have an indication from the framework of whether the +GPIO pin shall be used for input or output you can implement the +.gpio_set_direction() function. As described this shall be called from the +gpiolib driver and the affected GPIO range, pin offset and desired direction +will be passed along to this function. + +Alternatively to using these special functions, it is fully allowed to use +named functions for each GPIO pin, the pinctrl_gpio_request() will attempt to +obtain the function "gpioN" where "N" is the global GPIO pin number if no +special GPIO-handler is registered. + + +GPIO mode pitfalls +================== + +Due to the naming conventions used by hardware engineers, where "GPIO" +is taken to mean different things than what the kernel does, the developer +may be confused by a datasheet talking about a pin being possible to set +into "GPIO mode". It appears that what hardware engineers mean with +"GPIO mode" is not necessarily the use case that is implied in the kernel +interface <linux/gpio.h>: a pin that you grab from kernel code and then +either listen for input or drive high/low to assert/deassert some +external line. + +Rather hardware engineers think that "GPIO mode" means that you can +software-control a few electrical properties of the pin that you would +not be able to control if the pin was in some other mode, such as muxed in +for a device. + +The GPIO portions of a pin and its relation to a certain pin controller +configuration and muxing logic can be constructed in several ways. Here +are two examples:: + + (A) + pin config + logic regs + | +- SPI + Physical pins --- pad --- pinmux -+- I2C + | +- mmc + | +- GPIO + pin + multiplex + logic regs + +Here some electrical properties of the pin can be configured no matter +whether the pin is used for GPIO or not. If you multiplex a GPIO onto a +pin, you can also drive it high/low from "GPIO" registers. +Alternatively, the pin can be controlled by a certain peripheral, while +still applying desired pin config properties. GPIO functionality is thus +orthogonal to any other device using the pin. + +In this arrangement the registers for the GPIO portions of the pin controller, +or the registers for the GPIO hardware module are likely to reside in a +separate memory range only intended for GPIO driving, and the register +range dealing with pin config and pin multiplexing get placed into a +different memory range and a separate section of the data sheet. + +A flag "strict" in struct pinmux_ops is available to check and deny +simultaneous access to the same pin from GPIO and pin multiplexing +consumers on hardware of this type. The pinctrl driver should set this flag +accordingly. + +:: + + (B) + + pin config + logic regs + | +- SPI + Physical pins --- pad --- pinmux -+- I2C + | | +- mmc + | | + GPIO pin + multiplex + logic regs + +In this arrangement, the GPIO functionality can always be enabled, such that +e.g. a GPIO input can be used to "spy" on the SPI/I2C/MMC signal while it is +pulsed out. It is likely possible to disrupt the traffic on the pin by doing +wrong things on the GPIO block, as it is never really disconnected. It is +possible that the GPIO, pin config and pin multiplex registers are placed into +the same memory range and the same section of the data sheet, although that +need not be the case. + +In some pin controllers, although the physical pins are designed in the same +way as (B), the GPIO function still can't be enabled at the same time as the +peripheral functions. So again the "strict" flag should be set, denying +simultaneous activation by GPIO and other muxed in devices. + +From a kernel point of view, however, these are different aspects of the +hardware and shall be put into different subsystems: + +- Registers (or fields within registers) that control electrical + properties of the pin such as biasing and drive strength should be + exposed through the pinctrl subsystem, as "pin configuration" settings. + +- Registers (or fields within registers) that control muxing of signals + from various other HW blocks (e.g. I2C, MMC, or GPIO) onto pins should + be exposed through the pinctrl subsystem, as mux functions. + +- Registers (or fields within registers) that control GPIO functionality + such as setting a GPIO's output value, reading a GPIO's input value, or + setting GPIO pin direction should be exposed through the GPIO subsystem, + and if they also support interrupt capabilities, through the irqchip + abstraction. + +Depending on the exact HW register design, some functions exposed by the +GPIO subsystem may call into the pinctrl subsystem in order to +co-ordinate register settings across HW modules. In particular, this may +be needed for HW with separate GPIO and pin controller HW modules, where +e.g. GPIO direction is determined by a register in the pin controller HW +module rather than the GPIO HW module. + +Electrical properties of the pin such as biasing and drive strength +may be placed at some pin-specific register in all cases or as part +of the GPIO register in case (B) especially. This doesn't mean that such +properties necessarily pertain to what the Linux kernel calls "GPIO". + +Example: a pin is usually muxed in to be used as a UART TX line. But during +system sleep, we need to put this pin into "GPIO mode" and ground it. + +If you make a 1-to-1 map to the GPIO subsystem for this pin, you may start +to think that you need to come up with something really complex, that the +pin shall be used for UART TX and GPIO at the same time, that you will grab +a pin control handle and set it to a certain state to enable UART TX to be +muxed in, then twist it over to GPIO mode and use gpio_direction_output() +to drive it low during sleep, then mux it over to UART TX again when you +wake up and maybe even gpio_request/gpio_free as part of this cycle. This +all gets very complicated. + +The solution is to not think that what the datasheet calls "GPIO mode" +has to be handled by the <linux/gpio.h> interface. Instead view this as +a certain pin config setting. Look in e.g. <linux/pinctrl/pinconf-generic.h> +and you find this in the documentation: + + PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT: + this will configure the pin in output, use argument + 1 to indicate high level, argument 0 to indicate low level. + +So it is perfectly possible to push a pin into "GPIO mode" and drive the +line low as part of the usual pin control map. So for example your UART +driver may look like this:: + + #include <linux/pinctrl/consumer.h> + + struct pinctrl *pinctrl; + struct pinctrl_state *pins_default; + struct pinctrl_state *pins_sleep; + + pins_default = pinctrl_lookup_state(uap->pinctrl, PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT); + pins_sleep = pinctrl_lookup_state(uap->pinctrl, PINCTRL_STATE_SLEEP); + + /* Normal mode */ + retval = pinctrl_select_state(pinctrl, pins_default); + /* Sleep mode */ + retval = pinctrl_select_state(pinctrl, pins_sleep); + +And your machine configuration may look like this: +-------------------------------------------------- + +:: + + static unsigned long uart_default_mode[] = { + PIN_CONF_PACKED(PIN_CONFIG_DRIVE_PUSH_PULL, 0), + }; + + static unsigned long uart_sleep_mode[] = { + PIN_CONF_PACKED(PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT, 0), + }; + + static struct pinctrl_map pinmap[] __initdata = { + PIN_MAP_MUX_GROUP("uart", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, "pinctrl-foo", + "u0_group", "u0"), + PIN_MAP_CONFIGS_PIN("uart", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, "pinctrl-foo", + "UART_TX_PIN", uart_default_mode), + PIN_MAP_MUX_GROUP("uart", PINCTRL_STATE_SLEEP, "pinctrl-foo", + "u0_group", "gpio-mode"), + PIN_MAP_CONFIGS_PIN("uart", PINCTRL_STATE_SLEEP, "pinctrl-foo", + "UART_TX_PIN", uart_sleep_mode), + }; + + foo_init(void) { + pinctrl_register_mappings(pinmap, ARRAY_SIZE(pinmap)); + } + +Here the pins we want to control are in the "u0_group" and there is some +function called "u0" that can be enabled on this group of pins, and then +everything is UART business as usual. But there is also some function +named "gpio-mode" that can be mapped onto the same pins to move them into +GPIO mode. + +This will give the desired effect without any bogus interaction with the +GPIO subsystem. It is just an electrical configuration used by that device +when going to sleep, it might imply that the pin is set into something the +datasheet calls "GPIO mode", but that is not the point: it is still used +by that UART device to control the pins that pertain to that very UART +driver, putting them into modes needed by the UART. GPIO in the Linux +kernel sense are just some 1-bit line, and is a different use case. + +How the registers are poked to attain the push or pull, and output low +configuration and the muxing of the "u0" or "gpio-mode" group onto these +pins is a question for the driver. + +Some datasheets will be more helpful and refer to the "GPIO mode" as +"low power mode" rather than anything to do with GPIO. This often means +the same thing electrically speaking, but in this latter case the +software engineers will usually quickly identify that this is some +specific muxing or configuration rather than anything related to the GPIO +API. + + +Board/machine configuration +=========================== + +Boards and machines define how a certain complete running system is put +together, including how GPIOs and devices are muxed, how regulators are +constrained and how the clock tree looks. Of course pinmux settings are also +part of this. + +A pin controller configuration for a machine looks pretty much like a simple +regulator configuration, so for the example array above we want to enable i2c +and spi on the second function mapping:: + + #include <linux/pinctrl/machine.h> + + static const struct pinctrl_map mapping[] __initconst = { + { + .dev_name = "foo-spi.0", + .name = PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, + .type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP, + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo", + .data.mux.function = "spi0", + }, + { + .dev_name = "foo-i2c.0", + .name = PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, + .type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP, + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo", + .data.mux.function = "i2c0", + }, + { + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", + .name = PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, + .type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP, + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo", + .data.mux.function = "mmc0", + }, + }; + +The dev_name here matches to the unique device name that can be used to look +up the device struct (just like with clockdev or regulators). The function name +must match a function provided by the pinmux driver handling this pin range. + +As you can see we may have several pin controllers on the system and thus +we need to specify which one of them contains the functions we wish to map. + +You register this pinmux mapping to the pinmux subsystem by simply:: + + ret = pinctrl_register_mappings(mapping, ARRAY_SIZE(mapping)); + +Since the above construct is pretty common there is a helper macro to make +it even more compact which assumes you want to use pinctrl-foo and position +0 for mapping, for example:: + + static struct pinctrl_map mapping[] __initdata = { + PIN_MAP_MUX_GROUP("foo-i2c.o", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, + "pinctrl-foo", NULL, "i2c0"), + }; + +The mapping table may also contain pin configuration entries. It's common for +each pin/group to have a number of configuration entries that affect it, so +the table entries for configuration reference an array of config parameters +and values. An example using the convenience macros is shown below:: + + static unsigned long i2c_grp_configs[] = { + FOO_PIN_DRIVEN, + FOO_PIN_PULLUP, + }; + + static unsigned long i2c_pin_configs[] = { + FOO_OPEN_COLLECTOR, + FOO_SLEW_RATE_SLOW, + }; + + static struct pinctrl_map mapping[] __initdata = { + PIN_MAP_MUX_GROUP("foo-i2c.0", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, + "pinctrl-foo", "i2c0", "i2c0"), + PIN_MAP_CONFIGS_GROUP("foo-i2c.0", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, + "pinctrl-foo", "i2c0", i2c_grp_configs), + PIN_MAP_CONFIGS_PIN("foo-i2c.0", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, + "pinctrl-foo", "i2c0scl", i2c_pin_configs), + PIN_MAP_CONFIGS_PIN("foo-i2c.0", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, + "pinctrl-foo", "i2c0sda", i2c_pin_configs), + }; + +Finally, some devices expect the mapping table to contain certain specific +named states. When running on hardware that doesn't need any pin controller +configuration, the mapping table must still contain those named states, in +order to explicitly indicate that the states were provided and intended to +be empty. Table entry macro PIN_MAP_DUMMY_STATE serves the purpose of defining +a named state without causing any pin controller to be programmed:: + + static struct pinctrl_map mapping[] __initdata = { + PIN_MAP_DUMMY_STATE("foo-i2c.0", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT), + }; + + +Complex mappings +================ + +As it is possible to map a function to different groups of pins an optional +.group can be specified like this:: + + ... + { + .dev_name = "foo-spi.0", + .name = "spi0-pos-A", + .type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP, + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo", + .function = "spi0", + .group = "spi0_0_grp", + }, + { + .dev_name = "foo-spi.0", + .name = "spi0-pos-B", + .type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP, + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo", + .function = "spi0", + .group = "spi0_1_grp", + }, + ... + +This example mapping is used to switch between two positions for spi0 at +runtime, as described further below under the heading "Runtime pinmuxing". + +Further it is possible for one named state to affect the muxing of several +groups of pins, say for example in the mmc0 example above, where you can +additively expand the mmc0 bus from 2 to 4 to 8 pins. If we want to use all +three groups for a total of 2+2+4 = 8 pins (for an 8-bit MMC bus as is the +case), we define a mapping like this:: + + ... + { + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", + .name = "2bit" + .type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP, + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_1_grp", + }, + { + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", + .name = "4bit" + .type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP, + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_1_grp", + }, + { + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", + .name = "4bit" + .type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP, + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_2_grp", + }, + { + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", + .name = "8bit" + .type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP, + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_1_grp", + }, + { + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", + .name = "8bit" + .type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP, + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_2_grp", + }, + { + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", + .name = "8bit" + .type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP, + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_3_grp", + }, + ... + +The result of grabbing this mapping from the device with something like +this (see next paragraph):: + + p = devm_pinctrl_get(dev); + s = pinctrl_lookup_state(p, "8bit"); + ret = pinctrl_select_state(p, s); + +or more simply:: + + p = devm_pinctrl_get_select(dev, "8bit"); + +Will be that you activate all the three bottom records in the mapping at +once. Since they share the same name, pin controller device, function and +device, and since we allow multiple groups to match to a single device, they +all get selected, and they all get enabled and disable simultaneously by the +pinmux core. + + +Pin control requests from drivers +================================= + +When a device driver is about to probe the device core will automatically +attempt to issue pinctrl_get_select_default() on these devices. +This way driver writers do not need to add any of the boilerplate code +of the type found below. However when doing fine-grained state selection +and not using the "default" state, you may have to do some device driver +handling of the pinctrl handles and states. + +So if you just want to put the pins for a certain device into the default +state and be done with it, there is nothing you need to do besides +providing the proper mapping table. The device core will take care of +the rest. + +Generally it is discouraged to let individual drivers get and enable pin +control. So if possible, handle the pin control in platform code or some other +place where you have access to all the affected struct device * pointers. In +some cases where a driver needs to e.g. switch between different mux mappings +at runtime this is not possible. + +A typical case is if a driver needs to switch bias of pins from normal +operation and going to sleep, moving from the PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT to +PINCTRL_STATE_SLEEP at runtime, re-biasing or even re-muxing pins to save +current in sleep mode. + +A driver may request a certain control state to be activated, usually just the +default state like this:: + + #include <linux/pinctrl/consumer.h> + + struct foo_state { + struct pinctrl *p; + struct pinctrl_state *s; + ... + }; + + foo_probe() + { + /* Allocate a state holder named "foo" etc */ + struct foo_state *foo = ...; + + foo->p = devm_pinctrl_get(&device); + if (IS_ERR(foo->p)) { + /* FIXME: clean up "foo" here */ + return PTR_ERR(foo->p); + } + + foo->s = pinctrl_lookup_state(foo->p, PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT); + if (IS_ERR(foo->s)) { + /* FIXME: clean up "foo" here */ + return PTR_ERR(foo->s); + } + + ret = pinctrl_select_state(foo->s); + if (ret < 0) { + /* FIXME: clean up "foo" here */ + return ret; + } + } + +This get/lookup/select/put sequence can just as well be handled by bus drivers +if you don't want each and every driver to handle it and you know the +arrangement on your bus. + +The semantics of the pinctrl APIs are: + +- pinctrl_get() is called in process context to obtain a handle to all pinctrl + information for a given client device. It will allocate a struct from the + kernel memory to hold the pinmux state. All mapping table parsing or similar + slow operations take place within this API. + +- devm_pinctrl_get() is a variant of pinctrl_get() that causes pinctrl_put() + to be called automatically on the retrieved pointer when the associated + device is removed. It is recommended to use this function over plain + pinctrl_get(). + +- pinctrl_lookup_state() is called in process context to obtain a handle to a + specific state for a client device. This operation may be slow, too. + +- pinctrl_select_state() programs pin controller hardware according to the + definition of the state as given by the mapping table. In theory, this is a + fast-path operation, since it only involved blasting some register settings + into hardware. However, note that some pin controllers may have their + registers on a slow/IRQ-based bus, so client devices should not assume they + can call pinctrl_select_state() from non-blocking contexts. + +- pinctrl_put() frees all information associated with a pinctrl handle. + +- devm_pinctrl_put() is a variant of pinctrl_put() that may be used to + explicitly destroy a pinctrl object returned by devm_pinctrl_get(). + However, use of this function will be rare, due to the automatic cleanup + that will occur even without calling it. + + pinctrl_get() must be paired with a plain pinctrl_put(). + pinctrl_get() may not be paired with devm_pinctrl_put(). + devm_pinctrl_get() can optionally be paired with devm_pinctrl_put(). + devm_pinctrl_get() may not be paired with plain pinctrl_put(). + +Usually the pin control core handled the get/put pair and call out to the +device drivers bookkeeping operations, like checking available functions and +the associated pins, whereas select_state pass on to the pin controller +driver which takes care of activating and/or deactivating the mux setting by +quickly poking some registers. + +The pins are allocated for your device when you issue the devm_pinctrl_get() +call, after this you should be able to see this in the debugfs listing of all +pins. + +NOTE: the pinctrl system will return -EPROBE_DEFER if it cannot find the +requested pinctrl handles, for example if the pinctrl driver has not yet +registered. Thus make sure that the error path in your driver gracefully +cleans up and is ready to retry the probing later in the startup process. + + +Drivers needing both pin control and GPIOs +========================================== + +Again, it is discouraged to let drivers lookup and select pin control states +themselves, but again sometimes this is unavoidable. + +So say that your driver is fetching its resources like this:: + + #include <linux/pinctrl/consumer.h> + #include <linux/gpio.h> + + struct pinctrl *pinctrl; + int gpio; + + pinctrl = devm_pinctrl_get_select_default(&dev); + gpio = devm_gpio_request(&dev, 14, "foo"); + +Here we first request a certain pin state and then request GPIO 14 to be +used. If you're using the subsystems orthogonally like this, you should +nominally always get your pinctrl handle and select the desired pinctrl +state BEFORE requesting the GPIO. This is a semantic convention to avoid +situations that can be electrically unpleasant, you will certainly want to +mux in and bias pins in a certain way before the GPIO subsystems starts to +deal with them. + +The above can be hidden: using the device core, the pinctrl core may be +setting up the config and muxing for the pins right before the device is +probing, nevertheless orthogonal to the GPIO subsystem. + +But there are also situations where it makes sense for the GPIO subsystem +to communicate directly with the pinctrl subsystem, using the latter as a +back-end. This is when the GPIO driver may call out to the functions +described in the section "Pin control interaction with the GPIO subsystem" +above. This only involves per-pin multiplexing, and will be completely +hidden behind the gpio_*() function namespace. In this case, the driver +need not interact with the pin control subsystem at all. + +If a pin control driver and a GPIO driver is dealing with the same pins +and the use cases involve multiplexing, you MUST implement the pin controller +as a back-end for the GPIO driver like this, unless your hardware design +is such that the GPIO controller can override the pin controller's +multiplexing state through hardware without the need to interact with the +pin control system. + + +System pin control hogging +========================== + +Pin control map entries can be hogged by the core when the pin controller +is registered. This means that the core will attempt to call pinctrl_get(), +lookup_state() and select_state() on it immediately after the pin control +device has been registered. + +This occurs for mapping table entries where the client device name is equal +to the pin controller device name, and the state name is PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT:: + + { + .dev_name = "pinctrl-foo", + .name = PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, + .type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP, + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo", + .function = "power_func", + }, + +Since it may be common to request the core to hog a few always-applicable +mux settings on the primary pin controller, there is a convenience macro for +this:: + + PIN_MAP_MUX_GROUP_HOG_DEFAULT("pinctrl-foo", NULL /* group */, + "power_func") + +This gives the exact same result as the above construction. + + +Runtime pinmuxing +================= + +It is possible to mux a certain function in and out at runtime, say to move +an SPI port from one set of pins to another set of pins. Say for example for +spi0 in the example above, we expose two different groups of pins for the same +function, but with different named in the mapping as described under +"Advanced mapping" above. So that for an SPI device, we have two states named +"pos-A" and "pos-B". + +This snippet first initializes a state object for both groups (in foo_probe()), +then muxes the function in the pins defined by group A, and finally muxes it in +on the pins defined by group B:: + + #include <linux/pinctrl/consumer.h> + + struct pinctrl *p; + struct pinctrl_state *s1, *s2; + + foo_probe() + { + /* Setup */ + p = devm_pinctrl_get(&device); + if (IS_ERR(p)) + ... + + s1 = pinctrl_lookup_state(foo->p, "pos-A"); + if (IS_ERR(s1)) + ... + + s2 = pinctrl_lookup_state(foo->p, "pos-B"); + if (IS_ERR(s2)) + ... + } + + foo_switch() + { + /* Enable on position A */ + ret = pinctrl_select_state(s1); + if (ret < 0) + ... + + ... + + /* Enable on position B */ + ret = pinctrl_select_state(s2); + if (ret < 0) + ... + + ... + } + +The above has to be done from process context.

That is the role of the CPU idle time management +subsystem in the kernel, called ``CPUIdle``. + +The design of ``CPUIdle`` is modular and based on the code duplication avoidance +principle, so the generic code that in principle need not depend on the hardware +or platform design details in it is separate from the code that interacts with +the hardware. It generally is divided into three categories of functional +units: *governors* responsible for selecting idle states to ask the processor +to enter, *drivers* that pass the governors' decisions on to the hardware and +the *core* providing a common framework for them. + + +CPU Idle Time Governors +======================= + +A CPU idle time (``CPUIdle``) governor is a bundle of policy code invoked when +one of the logical CPUs in the system turns out to be idle. Its role is to +select an idle state to ask the processor to enter in order to save some energy. + +``CPUIdle`` governors are generic and each of them can be used on any hardware +platform that the Linux kernel can run on. For this reason, data structures +operated on by them cannot depend on any hardware architecture or platform +design details as well. + +The governor itself is represented by a struct cpuidle_governor object +containing four callback pointers, :c:member:`enable`, :c:member:`disable`, +:c:member:`select`, :c:member:`reflect`, a :c:member:`rating` field described +below, and a name (string) used for identifying it. + +For the governor to be available at all, that object needs to be registered +with the ``CPUIdle`` core by calling :c:func:`cpuidle_register_governor()` with +a pointer to it passed as the argument. If successful, that causes the core to +add the governor to the global list of available governors and, if it is the +only one in the list (that is, the list was empty before) or the value of its +:c:member:`rating` field is greater than the value of that field for the +governor currently in use, or the name of the new governor was passed to the +kernel as the value of the ``cpuidle.governor=`` command line parameter, the new +governor will be used from that point on (there can be only one ``CPUIdle`` +governor in use at a time). Also, user space can choose the ``CPUIdle`` +governor to use at run time via ``sysfs``. + +Once registered, ``CPUIdle`` governors cannot be unregistered, so it is not +practical to put them into loadable kernel modules. + +The interface between ``CPUIdle`` governors and the core consists of four +callbacks: + +:c:member:`enable` + :: + + int (*enable) (struct cpuidle_driver *drv, struct cpuidle_device *dev); + + The role of this callback is to prepare the governor for handling the + (logical) CPU represented by the struct cpuidle_device object pointed + to by the ``dev`` argument. The struct cpuidle_driver object pointed + to by the ``drv`` argument represents the ``CPUIdle`` driver to be used + with that CPU (among other things, it should contain the list of + struct cpuidle_state objects representing idle states that the + processor holding the given CPU can be asked to enter). + + It may fail, in which case it is expected to return a negative error + code, and that causes the kernel to run the architecture-specific + default code for idle CPUs on the CPU in question instead of ``CPUIdle`` + until the ``->enable()`` governor callback is invoked for that CPU + again. + +:c:member:`disable` + :: + + void (*disable) (struct cpuidle_driver *drv, struct cpuidle_device *dev); + + Called to make the governor stop handling the (logical) CPU represented + by the struct cpuidle_device object pointed to by the ``dev`` + argument. + + It is expected to reverse any changes made by the ``->enable()`` + callback when it was last invoked for the target CPU, free all memory + allocated by that callback and so on. + +:c:member:`select` + :: + + int (*select) (struct cpuidle_driver *drv, struct cpuidle_device *dev, + bool *stop_tick); + + Called to select an idle state for the processor holding the (logical) + CPU represented by the struct cpuidle_device object pointed to by the + ``dev`` argument. + + The list of idle states to take into consideration is represented by the + :c:member:`states` array of struct cpuidle_state objects held by the + struct cpuidle_driver object pointed to by the ``drv`` argument (which + represents the ``CPUIdle`` driver to be used with the CPU at hand). The + value returned by this callback is interpreted as an index into that + array (unless it is a negative error code). + + The ``stop_tick`` argument is used to indicate whether or not to stop + the scheduler tick before asking the processor to enter the selected + idle state. When the ``bool`` variable pointed to by it (which is set + to ``true`` before invoking this callback) is cleared to ``false``, the + processor will be asked to enter the selected idle state without + stopping the scheduler tick on the given CPU (if the tick has been + stopped on that CPU already, however, it will not be restarted before + asking the processor to enter the idle state). + + This callback is mandatory (i.e. the :c:member:`select` callback pointer + in struct cpuidle_governor must not be ``NULL`` for the registration + of the governor to succeed). + +:c:member:`reflect` + :: + + void (*reflect) (struct cpuidle_device *dev, int index); + + Called to allow the governor to evaluate the accuracy of the idle state + selection made by the ``->select()`` callback (when it was invoked last + time) and possibly use the result of that to improve the accuracy of + idle state selections in the future. + +In addition, ``CPUIdle`` governors are required to take power management +quality of service (PM QoS) constraints on the processor wakeup latency into +account when selecting idle states. In order to obtain the current effective +PM QoS wakeup latency constraint for a given CPU, a ``CPUIdle`` governor is +expected to pass the number of the CPU to +:c:func:`cpuidle_governor_latency_req()`. Then, the governor's ``->select()`` +callback must not return the index of an indle state whose +:c:member:`exit_latency` value is greater than the number returned by that +function. + + +CPU Idle Time Management Drivers +================================ + +CPU idle time management (``CPUIdle``) drivers provide an interface between the +other parts of ``CPUIdle`` and the hardware. + +First of all, a ``CPUIdle`` driver has to populate the :c:member:`states` array +of struct cpuidle_state objects included in the struct cpuidle_driver object +representing it. Going forward this array will represent the list of available +idle states that the processor hardware can be asked to enter shared by all of +the logical CPUs handled by the given driver. + +The entries in the :c:member:`states` array are expected to be sorted by the +value of the :c:member:`target_residency` field in struct cpuidle_state in +the ascending order (that is, index 0 should correspond to the idle state with +the minimum value of :c:member:`target_residency`). [Since the +:c:member:`target_residency` value is expected to reflect the "depth" of the +idle state represented by the struct cpuidle_state object holding it, this +sorting order should be the same as the ascending sorting order by the idle +state "depth".] + +Three fields in struct cpuidle_state are used by the existing ``CPUIdle`` +governors for computations related to idle state selection: + +:c:member:`target_residency` + Minimum time to spend in this idle state including the time needed to + enter it (which may be substantial) to save more energy than could + be saved by staying in a shallower idle state for the same amount of + time, in microseconds. + +:c:member:`exit_latency` + Maximum time it will take a CPU asking the processor to enter this idle + state to start executing the first instruction after a wakeup from it, + in microseconds. + +:c:member:`flags` + Flags representing idle state properties. Currently, governors only use + the ``CPUIDLE_FLAG_POLLING`` flag which is set if the given object + does not represent a real idle state, but an interface to a software + "loop" that can be used in order to avoid asking the processor to enter + any idle state at all. [There are other flags used by the ``CPUIdle`` + core in special situations.] + +The :c:member:`enter` callback pointer in struct cpuidle_state, which must not +be ``NULL``, points to the routine to execute in order to ask the processor to +enter this particular idle state: + +:: + + void (*enter) (struct cpuidle_device *dev, struct cpuidle_driver *drv, + int index); + +The first two arguments of it point to the struct cpuidle_device object +representing the logical CPU running this callback and the +struct cpuidle_driver object representing the driver itself, respectively, +and the last one is an index of the struct cpuidle_state entry in the driver's +:c:member:`states` array representing the idle state to ask the processor to +enter. + +The analogous ``->enter_s2idle()`` callback in struct cpuidle_state is used +only for implementing the suspend-to-idle system-wide power management feature. +The difference between in and ``->enter()`` is that it must not re-enable +interrupts at any point (even temporarily) or attempt to change the states of +clock event devices, which the ``->enter()`` callback may do sometimes. + +Once the :c:member:`states` array has been populated, the number of valid +entries in it has to be stored in the :c:member:`state_count` field of the +struct cpuidle_driver object representing the driver. Moreover, if any +entries in the :c:member:`states` array represent "coupled" idle states (that +is, idle states that can only be asked for if multiple related logical CPUs are +idle), the :c:member:`safe_state_index` field in struct cpuidle_driver needs +to be the index of an idle state that is not "coupled" (that is, one that can be +asked for if only one logical CPU is idle). + +In addition to that, if the given ``CPUIdle`` driver is only going to handle a +subset of logical CPUs in the system, the :c:member:`cpumask` field in its +struct cpuidle_driver object must point to the set (mask) of CPUs that will be +handled by it. + +A ``CPUIdle`` driver can only be used after it has been registered. If there +are no "coupled" idle state entries in the driver's :c:member:`states` array, +that can be accomplished by passing the driver's struct cpuidle_driver object +to :c:func:`cpuidle_register_driver()`. Otherwise, :c:func:`cpuidle_register()` +should be used for this purpose. + +However, it also is necessary to register struct cpuidle_device objects for +all of the logical CPUs to be handled by the given ``CPUIdle`` driver with the +help of :c:func:`cpuidle_register_device()` after the driver has been registered +and :c:func:`cpuidle_register_driver()`, unlike :c:func:`cpuidle_register()`, +does not do that automatically. For this reason, the drivers that use +:c:func:`cpuidle_register_driver()` to register themselves must also take care +of registering the struct cpuidle_device objects as needed, so it is generally +recommended to use :c:func:`cpuidle_register()` for ``CPUIdle`` driver +registration in all cases. + +The registration of a struct cpuidle_device object causes the ``CPUIdle`` +``sysfs`` interface to be created and the governor's ``->enable()`` callback to +be invoked for the logical CPU represented by it, so it must take place after +registering the driver that will handle the CPU in question. + +``CPUIdle`` drivers and struct cpuidle_device objects can be unregistered +when they are not necessary any more which allows some resources associated with +them to be released. Due to dependencies between them, all of the +struct cpuidle_device objects representing CPUs handled by the given +``CPUIdle`` driver must be unregistered, with the help of +:c:func:`cpuidle_unregister_device()`, before calling +:c:func:`cpuidle_unregister_driver()` to unregister the driver. Alternatively, +:c:func:`cpuidle_unregister()` can be called to unregister a ``CPUIdle`` driver +along with all of the struct cpuidle_device objects representing CPUs handled +by it. + +``CPUIdle`` drivers can respond to runtime system configuration changes that +lead to modifications of the list of available processor idle states (which can +happen, for example, when the system's power source is switched from AC to +battery or the other way around). Upon a notification of such a change, +a ``CPUIdle`` driver is expected to call :c:func:`cpuidle_pause_and_lock()` to +turn ``CPUIdle`` off temporarily and then :c:func:`cpuidle_disable_device()` for +all of the struct cpuidle_device objects representing CPUs affected by that +change. Next, it can update its :c:member:`states` array in accordance with +the new configuration of the system, call :c:func:`cpuidle_enable_device()` for +all of the relevant struct cpuidle_device objects and invoke +:c:func:`cpuidle_resume_and_unlock()` to allow ``CPUIdle`` to be used again. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..d448cb57d --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst @@ -0,0 +1,880 @@ +..

Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> + + +Most of the code in Linux is device drivers, so most of the Linux power +management (PM) code is also driver-specific. Most drivers will do very +little; others, especially for platforms with small batteries (like cell +phones), will do a lot. + +This writeup gives an overview of how drivers interact with system-wide +power management goals, emphasizing the models and interfaces that are +shared by everything that hooks up to the driver model core. Read it as +background for the domain-specific work you'd do with any specific driver. + + +Two Models for Device Power Management +====================================== + +Drivers will use one or both of these models to put devices into low-power +states: + + System Sleep model: + + Drivers can enter low-power states as part of entering system-wide + low-power states like "suspend" (also known as "suspend-to-RAM"), or + (mostly for systems with disks) "hibernation" (also known as + "suspend-to-disk"). + + This is something that device, bus, and class drivers collaborate on + by implementing various role-specific suspend and resume methods to + cleanly power down hardware and software subsystems, then reactivate + them without loss of data. + + Some drivers can manage hardware wakeup events, which make the system + leave the low-power state. This feature may be enabled or disabled + using the relevant :file:`/sys/devices/.../power/wakeup` file (for + Ethernet drivers the ioctl interface used by ethtool may also be used + for this purpose); enabling it may cost some power usage, but let the + whole system enter low-power states more often. + + Runtime Power Management model: + + Devices may also be put into low-power states while the system is + running, independently of other power management activity in principle. + However, devices are not generally independent of each other (for + example, a parent device cannot be suspended unless all of its child + devices have been suspended). Moreover, depending on the bus type the + device is on, it may be necessary to carry out some bus-specific + operations on the device for this purpose. Devices put into low power + states at run time may require special handling during system-wide power + transitions (suspend or hibernation). + + For these reasons not only the device driver itself, but also the + appropriate subsystem (bus type, device type or device class) driver and + the PM core are involved in runtime power management. As in the system + sleep power management case, they need to collaborate by implementing + various role-specific suspend and resume methods, so that the hardware + is cleanly powered down and reactivated without data or service loss. + +There's not a lot to be said about those low-power states except that they are +very system-specific, and often device-specific. Also, that if enough devices +have been put into low-power states (at runtime), the effect may be very similar +to entering some system-wide low-power state (system sleep) ... and that +synergies exist, so that several drivers using runtime PM might put the system +into a state where even deeper power saving options are available. + +Most suspended devices will have quiesced all I/O: no more DMA or IRQs (except +for wakeup events), no more data read or written, and requests from upstream +drivers are no longer accepted. A given bus or platform may have different +requirements though. + +Examples of hardware wakeup events include an alarm from a real time clock, +network wake-on-LAN packets, keyboard or mouse activity, and media insertion +or removal (for PCMCIA, MMC/SD, USB, and so on). + +Interfaces for Entering System Sleep States +=========================================== + +There are programming interfaces provided for subsystems (bus type, device type, +device class) and device drivers to allow them to participate in the power +management of devices they are concerned with. These interfaces cover both +system sleep and runtime power management. + + +Device Power Management Operations +---------------------------------- + +Device power management operations, at the subsystem level as well as at the +device driver level, are implemented by defining and populating objects of type +struct dev_pm_ops defined in :file:`include/linux/pm.h`. The roles of the +methods included in it will be explained in what follows. For now, it should be +sufficient to remember that the last three methods are specific to runtime power +management while the remaining ones are used during system-wide power +transitions. + +There also is a deprecated "old" or "legacy" interface for power management +operations available at least for some subsystems. This approach does not use +struct dev_pm_ops objects and it is suitable only for implementing system +sleep power management methods in a limited way. Therefore it is not described +in this document, so please refer directly to the source code for more +information about it. + + +Subsystem-Level Methods +----------------------- + +The core methods to suspend and resume devices reside in +struct dev_pm_ops pointed to by the :c:member:`ops` member of +struct dev_pm_domain, or by the :c:member:`pm` member of struct bus_type, +struct device_type and struct class. They are mostly of interest to the +people writing infrastructure for platforms and buses, like PCI or USB, or +device type and device class drivers. They also are relevant to the writers of +device drivers whose subsystems (PM domains, device types, device classes and +bus types) don't provide all power management methods. + +Bus drivers implement these methods as appropriate for the hardware and the +drivers using it; PCI works differently from USB, and so on. Not many people +write subsystem-level drivers; most driver code is a "device driver" that builds +on top of bus-specific framework code. + +For more information on these driver calls, see the description later; +they are called in phases for every device, respecting the parent-child +sequencing in the driver model tree. + + +:file:`/sys/devices/.../power/wakeup` files +------------------------------------------- + +All device objects in the driver model contain fields that control the handling +of system wakeup events (hardware signals that can force the system out of a +sleep state). These fields are initialized by bus or device driver code using +:c:func:`device_set_wakeup_capable()` and :c:func:`device_set_wakeup_enable()`, +defined in :file:`include/linux/pm_wakeup.h`. + +The :c:member:`power.can_wakeup` flag just records whether the device (and its +driver) can physically support wakeup events. The +:c:func:`device_set_wakeup_capable()` routine affects this flag. The +:c:member:`power.wakeup` field is a pointer to an object of type +struct wakeup_source used for controlling whether or not the device should use +its system wakeup mechanism and for notifying the PM core of system wakeup +events signaled by the device. This object is only present for wakeup-capable +devices (i.e. devices whose :c:member:`can_wakeup` flags are set) and is created +(or removed) by :c:func:`device_set_wakeup_capable()`. + +Whether or not a device is capable of issuing wakeup events is a hardware +matter, and the kernel is responsible for keeping track of it. By contrast, +whether or not a wakeup-capable device should issue wakeup events is a policy +decision, and it is managed by user space through a sysfs attribute: the +:file:`power/wakeup` file. User space can write the "enabled" or "disabled" +strings to it to indicate whether or not, respectively, the device is supposed +to signal system wakeup. This file is only present if the +:c:member:`power.wakeup` object exists for the given device and is created (or +removed) along with that object, by :c:func:`device_set_wakeup_capable()`. +Reads from the file will return the corresponding string. + +The initial value in the :file:`power/wakeup` file is "disabled" for the +majority of devices; the major exceptions are power buttons, keyboards, and +Ethernet adapters whose WoL (wake-on-LAN) feature has been set up with ethtool. +It should also default to "enabled" for devices that don't generate wakeup +requests on their own but merely forward wakeup requests from one bus to another +(like PCI Express ports). + +The :c:func:`device_may_wakeup()` routine returns true only if the +:c:member:`power.wakeup` object exists and the corresponding :file:`power/wakeup` +file contains the "enabled" string. This information is used by subsystems, +like the PCI bus type code, to see whether or not to enable the devices' wakeup +mechanisms. If device wakeup mechanisms are enabled or disabled directly by +drivers, they also should use :c:func:`device_may_wakeup()` to decide what to do +during a system sleep transition. Device drivers, however, are not expected to +call :c:func:`device_set_wakeup_enable()` directly in any case. + +It ought to be noted that system wakeup is conceptually different from "remote +wakeup" used by runtime power management, although it may be supported by the +same physical mechanism. Remote wakeup is a feature allowing devices in +low-power states to trigger specific interrupts to signal conditions in which +they should be put into the full-power state. Those interrupts may or may not +be used to signal system wakeup events, depending on the hardware design. On +some systems it is impossible to trigger them from system sleep states. In any +case, remote wakeup should always be enabled for runtime power management for +all devices and drivers that support it. + + +:file:`/sys/devices/.../power/control` files +-------------------------------------------- + +Each device in the driver model has a flag to control whether it is subject to +runtime power management. This flag, :c:member:`runtime_auto`, is initialized +by the bus type (or generally subsystem) code using :c:func:`pm_runtime_allow()` +or :c:func:`pm_runtime_forbid()`; the default is to allow runtime power +management. + +The setting can be adjusted by user space by writing either "on" or "auto" to +the device's :file:`power/control` sysfs file. Writing "auto" calls +:c:func:`pm_runtime_allow()`, setting the flag and allowing the device to be +runtime power-managed by its driver. Writing "on" calls +:c:func:`pm_runtime_forbid()`, clearing the flag, returning the device to full +power if it was in a low-power state, and preventing the +device from being runtime power-managed. User space can check the current value +of the :c:member:`runtime_auto` flag by reading that file. + +The device's :c:member:`runtime_auto` flag has no effect on the handling of +system-wide power transitions. In particular, the device can (and in the +majority of cases should and will) be put into a low-power state during a +system-wide transition to a sleep state even though its :c:member:`runtime_auto` +flag is clear. + +For more information about the runtime power management framework, refer to +Documentation/power/runtime_pm.rst. + + +Calling Drivers to Enter and Leave System Sleep States +====================================================== + +When the system goes into a sleep state, each device's driver is asked to +suspend the device by putting it into a state compatible with the target +system state. That's usually some version of "off", but the details are +system-specific. Also, wakeup-enabled devices will usually stay partly +functional in order to wake the system. + +When the system leaves that low-power state, the device's driver is asked to +resume it by returning it to full power. The suspend and resume operations +always go together, and both are multi-phase operations. + +For simple drivers, suspend might quiesce the device using class code +and then turn its hardware as "off" as possible during suspend_noirq. The +matching resume calls would then completely reinitialize the hardware +before reactivating its class I/O queues. + +More power-aware drivers might prepare the devices for triggering system wakeup +events. + + +Call Sequence Guarantees +------------------------ + +To ensure that bridges and similar links needing to talk to a device are +available when the device is suspended or resumed, the device hierarchy is +walked in a bottom-up order to suspend devices. A top-down order is +used to resume those devices. + +The ordering of the device hierarchy is defined by the order in which devices +get registered: a child can never be registered, probed or resumed before +its parent; and can't be removed or suspended after that parent. + +The policy is that the device hierarchy should match hardware bus topology. +[Or at least the control bus, for devices which use multiple busses.] +In particular, this means that a device registration may fail if the parent of +the device is suspending (i.e. has been chosen by the PM core as the next +device to suspend) or has already suspended, as well as after all of the other +devices have been suspended. Device drivers must be prepared to cope with such +situations. + + +System Power Management Phases +------------------------------ + +Suspending or resuming the system is done in several phases. Different phases +are used for suspend-to-idle, shallow (standby), and deep ("suspend-to-RAM") +sleep states and the hibernation state ("suspend-to-disk"). Each phase involves +executing callbacks for every device before the next phase begins. Not all +buses or classes support all these callbacks and not all drivers use all the +callbacks. The various phases always run after tasks have been frozen and +before they are unfrozen. Furthermore, the ``*_noirq`` phases run at a time +when IRQ handlers have been disabled (except for those marked with the +IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag). + +All phases use PM domain, bus, type, class or driver callbacks (that is, methods +defined in ``dev->pm_domain->ops``, ``dev->bus->pm``, ``dev->type->pm``, +``dev->class->pm`` or ``dev->driver->pm``). These callbacks are regarded by the +PM core as mutually exclusive. Moreover, PM domain callbacks always take +precedence over all of the other callbacks and, for example, type callbacks take +precedence over bus, class and driver callbacks. To be precise, the following +rules are used to determine which callback to execute in the given phase: + + 1. If ``dev->pm_domain`` is present, the PM core will choose the callback + provided by ``dev->pm_domain->ops`` for execution. + + 2. Otherwise, if both ``dev->type`` and ``dev->type->pm`` are present, the + callback provided by ``dev->type->pm`` will be chosen for execution. + + 3. Otherwise, if both ``dev->class`` and ``dev->class->pm`` are present, + the callback provided by ``dev->class->pm`` will be chosen for + execution. + + 4. Otherwise, if both ``dev->bus`` and ``dev->bus->pm`` are present, the + callback provided by ``dev->bus->pm`` will be chosen for execution. + +This allows PM domains and device types to override callbacks provided by bus +types or device classes if necessary. + +The PM domain, type, class and bus callbacks may in turn invoke device- or +driver-specific methods stored in ``dev->driver->pm``, but they don't have to do +that. + +If the subsystem callback chosen for execution is not present, the PM core will +execute the corresponding method from the ``dev->driver->pm`` set instead if +there is one. + + +Entering System Suspend +----------------------- + +When the system goes into the freeze, standby or memory sleep state, +the phases are: ``prepare``, ``suspend``, ``suspend_late``, ``suspend_noirq``. + + 1. The ``prepare`` phase is meant to prevent races by preventing new + devices from being registered; the PM core would never know that all the + children of a device had been suspended if new children could be + registered at will. [By contrast, from the PM core's perspective, + devices may be unregistered at any time.] Unlike the other + suspend-related phases, during the ``prepare`` phase the device + hierarchy is traversed top-down. + + After the ``->prepare`` callback method returns, no new children may be + registered below the device. The method may also prepare the device or + driver in some way for the upcoming system power transition, but it + should not put the device into a low-power state. Moreover, if the + device supports runtime power management, the ``->prepare`` callback + method must not update its state in case it is necessary to resume it + from runtime suspend later on. + + For devices supporting runtime power management, the return value of the + prepare callback can be used to indicate to the PM core that it may + safely leave the device in runtime suspend (if runtime-suspended + already), provided that all of the device's descendants are also left in + runtime suspend. Namely, if the prepare callback returns a positive + number and that happens for all of the descendants of the device too, + and all of them (including the device itself) are runtime-suspended, the + PM core will skip the ``suspend``, ``suspend_late`` and + ``suspend_noirq`` phases as well as all of the corresponding phases of + the subsequent device resume for all of these devices. In that case, + the ``->complete`` callback will be the next one invoked after the + ``->prepare`` callback and is entirely responsible for putting the + device into a consistent state as appropriate. + + Note that this direct-complete procedure applies even if the device is + disabled for runtime PM; only the runtime-PM status matters. It follows + that if a device has system-sleep callbacks but does not support runtime + PM, then its prepare callback must never return a positive value. This + is because all such devices are initially set to runtime-suspended with + runtime PM disabled. + + This feature also can be controlled by device drivers by using the + ``DPM_FLAG_NO_DIRECT_COMPLETE`` and ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_PREPARE`` driver + power management flags. [Typically, they are set at the time the driver + is probed against the device in question by passing them to the + :c:func:`dev_pm_set_driver_flags` helper function.] If the first of + these flags is set, the PM core will not apply the direct-complete + procedure described above to the given device and, consequenty, to any + of its ancestors. The second flag, when set, informs the middle layer + code (bus types, device types, PM domains, classes) that it should take + the return value of the ``->prepare`` callback provided by the driver + into account and it may only return a positive value from its own + ``->prepare`` callback if the driver's one also has returned a positive + value. + + 2. The ``->suspend`` methods should quiesce the device to stop it from + performing I/O. They also may save the device registers and put it into + the appropriate low-power state, depending on the bus type the device is + on, and they may enable wakeup events. + + However, for devices supporting runtime power management, the + ``->suspend`` methods provided by subsystems (bus types and PM domains + in particular) must follow an additional rule regarding what can be done + to the devices before their drivers' ``->suspend`` methods are called. + Namely, they may resume the devices from runtime suspend by + calling :c:func:`pm_runtime_resume` for them, if that is necessary, but + they must not update the state of the devices in any other way at that + time (in case the drivers need to resume the devices from runtime + suspend in their ``->suspend`` methods). In fact, the PM core prevents + subsystems or drivers from putting devices into runtime suspend at + these times by calling :c:func:`pm_runtime_get_noresume` before issuing + the ``->prepare`` callback (and calling :c:func:`pm_runtime_put` after + issuing the ``->complete`` callback). + + 3. For a number of devices it is convenient to split suspend into the + "quiesce device" and "save device state" phases, in which cases + ``suspend_late`` is meant to do the latter. It is always executed after + runtime power management has been disabled for the device in question. + + 4. The ``suspend_noirq`` phase occurs after IRQ handlers have been disabled, + which means that the driver's interrupt handler will not be called while + the callback method is running. The ``->suspend_noirq`` methods should + save the values of the device's registers that weren't saved previously + and finally put the device into the appropriate low-power state. + + The majority of subsystems and device drivers need not implement this + callback. However, bus types allowing devices to share interrupt + vectors, like PCI, generally need it; otherwise a driver might encounter + an error during the suspend phase by fielding a shared interrupt + generated by some other device after its own device had been set to low + power. + +At the end of these phases, drivers should have stopped all I/O transactions +(DMA, IRQs), saved enough state that they can re-initialize or restore previous +state (as needed by the hardware), and placed the device into a low-power state. +On many platforms they will gate off one or more clock sources; sometimes they +will also switch off power supplies or reduce voltages. [Drivers supporting +runtime PM may already have performed some or all of these steps.] + +If :c:func:`device_may_wakeup()` returns ``true``, the device should be +prepared for generating hardware wakeup signals to trigger a system wakeup event +when the system is in the sleep state. For example, :c:func:`enable_irq_wake()` +might identify GPIO signals hooked up to a switch or other external hardware, +and :c:func:`pci_enable_wake()` does something similar for the PCI PME signal. + +If any of these callbacks returns an error, the system won't enter the desired +low-power state. Instead, the PM core will unwind its actions by resuming all +the devices that were suspended. + + +Leaving System Suspend +---------------------- + +When resuming from freeze, standby or memory sleep, the phases are: +``resume_noirq``, ``resume_early``, ``resume``, ``complete``. + + 1. The ``->resume_noirq`` callback methods should perform any actions + needed before the driver's interrupt handlers are invoked. This + generally means undoing the actions of the ``suspend_noirq`` phase. If + the bus type permits devices to share interrupt vectors, like PCI, the + method should bring the device and its driver into a state in which the + driver can recognize if the device is the source of incoming interrupts, + if any, and handle them correctly. + + For example, the PCI bus type's ``->pm.resume_noirq()`` puts the device + into the full-power state (D0 in the PCI terminology) and restores the + standard configuration registers of the device. Then it calls the + device driver's ``->pm.resume_noirq()`` method to perform device-specific + actions. + + 2. The ``->resume_early`` methods should prepare devices for the execution + of the resume methods. This generally involves undoing the actions of + the preceding ``suspend_late`` phase. + + 3. The ``->resume`` methods should bring the device back to its operating + state, so that it can perform normal I/O. This generally involves + undoing the actions of the ``suspend`` phase. + + 4. The ``complete`` phase should undo the actions of the ``prepare`` phase. + For this reason, unlike the other resume-related phases, during the + ``complete`` phase the device hierarchy is traversed bottom-up. + + Note, however, that new children may be registered below the device as + soon as the ``->resume`` callbacks occur; it's not necessary to wait + until the ``complete`` phase runs. + + Moreover, if the preceding ``->prepare`` callback returned a positive + number, the device may have been left in runtime suspend throughout the + whole system suspend and resume (its ``->suspend``, ``->suspend_late``, + ``->suspend_noirq``, ``->resume_noirq``, + ``->resume_early``, and ``->resume`` callbacks may have been + skipped). In that case, the ``->complete`` callback is entirely + responsible for putting the device into a consistent state after system + suspend if necessary. [For example, it may need to queue up a runtime + resume request for the device for this purpose.] To check if that is + the case, the ``->complete`` callback can consult the device's + ``power.direct_complete`` flag. If that flag is set when the + ``->complete`` callback is being run then the direct-complete mechanism + was used, and special actions may be required to make the device work + correctly afterward. + +At the end of these phases, drivers should be as functional as they were before +suspending: I/O can be performed using DMA and IRQs, and the relevant clocks are +gated on. + +However, the details here may again be platform-specific. For example, +some systems support multiple "run" states, and the mode in effect at +the end of resume might not be the one which preceded suspension. +That means availability of certain clocks or power supplies changed, +which could easily affect how a driver works. + +Drivers need to be able to handle hardware which has been reset since all of the +suspend methods were called, for example by complete reinitialization. +This may be the hardest part, and the one most protected by NDA'd documents +and chip errata. It's simplest if the hardware state hasn't changed since +the suspend was carried out, but that can only be guaranteed if the target +system sleep entered was suspend-to-idle. For the other system sleep states +that may not be the case (and usually isn't for ACPI-defined system sleep +states, like S3). + +Drivers must also be prepared to notice that the device has been removed +while the system was powered down, whenever that's physically possible. +PCMCIA, MMC, USB, Firewire, SCSI, and even IDE are common examples of busses +where common Linux platforms will see such removal. Details of how drivers +will notice and handle such removals are currently bus-specific, and often +involve a separate thread. + +These callbacks may return an error value, but the PM core will ignore such +errors since there's nothing it can do about them other than printing them in +the system log. + + +Entering Hibernation +-------------------- + +Hibernating the system is more complicated than putting it into sleep states, +because it involves creating and saving a system image. Therefore there are +more phases for hibernation, with a different set of callbacks. These phases +always run after tasks have been frozen and enough memory has been freed. + +The general procedure for hibernation is to quiesce all devices ("freeze"), +create an image of the system memory while everything is stable, reactivate all +devices ("thaw"), write the image to permanent storage, and finally shut down +the system ("power off"). The phases used to accomplish this are: ``prepare``, +``freeze``, ``freeze_late``, ``freeze_noirq``, ``thaw_noirq``, ``thaw_early``, +``thaw``, ``complete``, ``prepare``, ``poweroff``, ``poweroff_late``, +``poweroff_noirq``. + + 1. The ``prepare`` phase is discussed in the "Entering System Suspend" + section above. + + 2. The ``->freeze`` methods should quiesce the device so that it doesn't + generate IRQs or DMA, and they may need to save the values of device + registers. However the device does not have to be put in a low-power + state, and to save time it's best not to do so. Also, the device should + not be prepared to generate wakeup events. + + 3. The ``freeze_late`` phase is analogous to the ``suspend_late`` phase + described earlier, except that the device should not be put into a + low-power state and should not be allowed to generate wakeup events. + + 4. The ``freeze_noirq`` phase is analogous to the ``suspend_noirq`` phase + discussed earlier, except again that the device should not be put into + a low-power state and should not be allowed to generate wakeup events. + +At this point the system image is created. All devices should be inactive and +the contents of memory should remain undisturbed while this happens, so that the +image forms an atomic snapshot of the system state. + + 5. The ``thaw_noirq`` phase is analogous to the ``resume_noirq`` phase + discussed earlier. The main difference is that its methods can assume + the device is in the same state as at the end of the ``freeze_noirq`` + phase. + + 6. The ``thaw_early`` phase is analogous to the ``resume_early`` phase + described above. Its methods should undo the actions of the preceding + ``freeze_late``, if necessary. + + 7. The ``thaw`` phase is analogous to the ``resume`` phase discussed + earlier. Its methods should bring the device back to an operating + state, so that it can be used for saving the image if necessary. + + 8. The ``complete`` phase is discussed in the "Leaving System Suspend" + section above. + +At this point the system image is saved, and the devices then need to be +prepared for the upcoming system shutdown. This is much like suspending them +before putting the system into the suspend-to-idle, shallow or deep sleep state, +and the phases are similar. + + 9. The ``prepare`` phase is discussed above. + + 10. The ``poweroff`` phase is analogous to the ``suspend`` phase. + + 11. The ``poweroff_late`` phase is analogous to the ``suspend_late`` phase. + + 12. The ``poweroff_noirq`` phase is analogous to the ``suspend_noirq`` phase. + +The ``->poweroff``, ``->poweroff_late`` and ``->poweroff_noirq`` callbacks +should do essentially the same things as the ``->suspend``, ``->suspend_late`` +and ``->suspend_noirq`` callbacks, respectively. A notable difference is +that they need not store the device register values, because the registers +should already have been stored during the ``freeze``, ``freeze_late`` or +``freeze_noirq`` phases. Also, on many machines the firmware will power-down +the entire system, so it is not necessary for the callback to put the device in +a low-power state. + + +Leaving Hibernation +------------------- + +Resuming from hibernation is, again, more complicated than resuming from a sleep +state in which the contents of main memory are preserved, because it requires +a system image to be loaded into memory and the pre-hibernation memory contents +to be restored before control can be passed back to the image kernel. + +Although in principle the image might be loaded into memory and the +pre-hibernation memory contents restored by the boot loader, in practice this +can't be done because boot loaders aren't smart enough and there is no +established protocol for passing the necessary information. So instead, the +boot loader loads a fresh instance of the kernel, called "the restore kernel", +into memory and passes control to it in the usual way. Then the restore kernel +reads the system image, restores the pre-hibernation memory contents, and passes +control to the image kernel. Thus two different kernel instances are involved +in resuming from hibernation. In fact, the restore kernel may be completely +different from the image kernel: a different configuration and even a different +version. This has important consequences for device drivers and their +subsystems. + +To be able to load the system image into memory, the restore kernel needs to +include at least a subset of device drivers allowing it to access the storage +medium containing the image, although it doesn't need to include all of the +drivers present in the image kernel. After the image has been loaded, the +devices managed by the boot kernel need to be prepared for passing control back +to the image kernel. This is very similar to the initial steps involved in +creating a system image, and it is accomplished in the same way, using +``prepare``, ``freeze``, and ``freeze_noirq`` phases. However, the devices +affected by these phases are only those having drivers in the restore kernel; +other devices will still be in whatever state the boot loader left them. + +Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation memory contents fail, the restore +kernel would go through the "thawing" procedure described above, using the +``thaw_noirq``, ``thaw_early``, ``thaw``, and ``complete`` phases, and then +continue running normally. This happens only rarely. Most often the +pre-hibernation memory contents are restored successfully and control is passed +to the image kernel, which then becomes responsible for bringing the system back +to the working state. + +To achieve this, the image kernel must restore the devices' pre-hibernation +functionality. The operation is much like waking up from a sleep state (with +the memory contents preserved), although it involves different phases: +``restore_noirq``, ``restore_early``, ``restore``, ``complete``. + + 1. The ``restore_noirq`` phase is analogous to the ``resume_noirq`` phase. + + 2. The ``restore_early`` phase is analogous to the ``resume_early`` phase. + + 3. The ``restore`` phase is analogous to the ``resume`` phase. + + 4. The ``complete`` phase is discussed above. + +The main difference from ``resume[_early|_noirq]`` is that +``restore[_early|_noirq]`` must assume the device has been accessed and +reconfigured by the boot loader or the restore kernel. Consequently, the state +of the device may be different from the state remembered from the ``freeze``, +``freeze_late`` and ``freeze_noirq`` phases. The device may even need to be +reset and completely re-initialized. In many cases this difference doesn't +matter, so the ``->resume[_early|_noirq]`` and ``->restore[_early|_norq]`` +method pointers can be set to the same routines. Nevertheless, different +callback pointers are used in case there is a situation where it actually does +matter. + + +Power Management Notifiers +========================== + +There are some operations that cannot be carried out by the power management +callbacks discussed above, because the callbacks occur too late or too early. +To handle these cases, subsystems and device drivers may register power +management notifiers that are called before tasks are frozen and after they have +been thawed. Generally speaking, the PM notifiers are suitable for performing +actions that either require user space to be available, or at least won't +interfere with user space. + +For details refer to Documentation/driver-api/pm/notifiers.rst. + + +Device Low-Power (suspend) States +================================= + +Device low-power states aren't standard. One device might only handle +"on" and "off", while another might support a dozen different versions of +"on" (how many engines are active?), plus a state that gets back to "on" +faster than from a full "off". + +Some buses define rules about what different suspend states mean. PCI +gives one example: after the suspend sequence completes, a non-legacy +PCI device may not perform DMA or issue IRQs, and any wakeup events it +issues would be issued through the PME# bus signal. Plus, there are +several PCI-standard device states, some of which are optional. + +In contrast, integrated system-on-chip processors often use IRQs as the +wakeup event sources (so drivers would call :c:func:`enable_irq_wake`) and +might be able to treat DMA completion as a wakeup event (sometimes DMA can stay +active too, it'd only be the CPU and some peripherals that sleep). + +Some details here may be platform-specific. Systems may have devices that +can be fully active in certain sleep states, such as an LCD display that's +refreshed using DMA while most of the system is sleeping lightly ... and +its frame buffer might even be updated by a DSP or other non-Linux CPU while +the Linux control processor stays idle. + +Moreover, the specific actions taken may depend on the target system state. +One target system state might allow a given device to be very operational; +another might require a hard shut down with re-initialization on resume. +And two different target systems might use the same device in different +ways; the aforementioned LCD might be active in one product's "standby", +but a different product using the same SOC might work differently. + + +Device Power Management Domains +=============================== + +Sometimes devices share reference clocks or other power resources. In those +cases it generally is not possible to put devices into low-power states +individually. Instead, a set of devices sharing a power resource can be put +into a low-power state together at the same time by turning off the shared +power resource. Of course, they also need to be put into the full-power state +together, by turning the shared power resource on. A set of devices with this +property is often referred to as a power domain. A power domain may also be +nested inside another power domain. The nested domain is referred to as the +sub-domain of the parent domain. + +Support for power domains is provided through the :c:member:`pm_domain` field of +struct device. This field is a pointer to an object of type +struct dev_pm_domain, defined in :file:`include/linux/pm.h`, providing a set +of power management callbacks analogous to the subsystem-level and device driver +callbacks that are executed for the given device during all power transitions, +instead of the respective subsystem-level callbacks. Specifically, if a +device's :c:member:`pm_domain` pointer is not NULL, the ``->suspend()`` callback +from the object pointed to by it will be executed instead of its subsystem's +(e.g. bus type's) ``->suspend()`` callback and analogously for all of the +remaining callbacks. In other words, power management domain callbacks, if +defined for the given device, always take precedence over the callbacks provided +by the device's subsystem (e.g. bus type). + +The support for device power management domains is only relevant to platforms +needing to use the same device driver power management callbacks in many +different power domain configurations and wanting to avoid incorporating the +support for power domains into subsystem-level callbacks, for example by +modifying the platform bus type. Other platforms need not implement it or take +it into account in any way. + +Devices may be defined as IRQ-safe which indicates to the PM core that their +runtime PM callbacks may be invoked with disabled interrupts (see +Documentation/power/runtime_pm.rst for more information). If an +IRQ-safe device belongs to a PM domain, the runtime PM of the domain will be +disallowed, unless the domain itself is defined as IRQ-safe. However, it +makes sense to define a PM domain as IRQ-safe only if all the devices in it +are IRQ-safe. Moreover, if an IRQ-safe domain has a parent domain, the runtime +PM of the parent is only allowed if the parent itself is IRQ-safe too with the +additional restriction that all child domains of an IRQ-safe parent must also +be IRQ-safe. + + +Runtime Power Management +======================== + +Many devices are able to dynamically power down while the system is still +running. This feature is useful for devices that are not being used, and +can offer significant power savings on a running system. These devices +often support a range of runtime power states, which might use names such +as "off", "sleep", "idle", "active", and so on. Those states will in some +cases (like PCI) be partially constrained by the bus the device uses, and will +usually include hardware states that are also used in system sleep states. + +A system-wide power transition can be started while some devices are in low +power states due to runtime power management. The system sleep PM callbacks +should recognize such situations and react to them appropriately, but the +necessary actions are subsystem-specific. + +In some cases the decision may be made at the subsystem level while in other +cases the device driver may be left to decide. In some cases it may be +desirable to leave a suspended device in that state during a system-wide power +transition, but in other cases the device must be put back into the full-power +state temporarily, for example so that its system wakeup capability can be +disabled. This all depends on the hardware and the design of the subsystem and +device driver in question. + +If it is necessary to resume a device from runtime suspend during a system-wide +transition into a sleep state, that can be done by calling +:c:func:`pm_runtime_resume` from the ``->suspend`` callback (or the ``->freeze`` +or ``->poweroff`` callback for transitions related to hibernation) of either the +device's driver or its subsystem (for example, a bus type or a PM domain). +However, subsystems must not otherwise change the runtime status of devices +from their ``->prepare`` and ``->suspend`` callbacks (or equivalent) *before* +invoking device drivers' ``->suspend`` callbacks (or equivalent). + +.. _smart_suspend_flag: + +The ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` Driver Flag +------------------------------------------ + +Some bus types and PM domains have a policy to resume all devices from runtime +suspend upfront in their ``->suspend`` callbacks, but that may not be really +necessary if the device's driver can cope with runtime-suspended devices. +The driver can indicate this by setting ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` in +:c:member:`power.driver_flags` at probe time, with the assistance of the +:c:func:`dev_pm_set_driver_flags` helper routine. + +Setting that flag causes the PM core and middle-layer code +(bus types, PM domains etc.) to skip the ``->suspend_late`` and +``->suspend_noirq`` callbacks provided by the driver if the device remains in +runtime suspend throughout those phases of the system-wide suspend (and +similarly for the "freeze" and "poweroff" parts of system hibernation). +[Otherwise the same driver +callback might be executed twice in a row for the same device, which would not +be valid in general.] If the middle-layer system-wide PM callbacks are present +for the device then they are responsible for skipping these driver callbacks; +if not then the PM core skips them. The subsystem callback routines can +determine whether they need to skip the driver callbacks by testing the return +value from the :c:func:`dev_pm_skip_suspend` helper function. + +In addition, with ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` set, the driver's ``->thaw_noirq`` +and ``->thaw_early`` callbacks are skipped in hibernation if the device remained +in runtime suspend throughout the preceding "freeze" transition. Again, if the +middle-layer callbacks are present for the device, they are responsible for +doing this, otherwise the PM core takes care of it. + + +The ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` Driver Flag +-------------------------------------------- + +During system-wide resume from a sleep state it's easiest to put devices into +the full-power state, as explained in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.rst. +[Refer to that document for more information regarding this particular issue as +well as for information on the device runtime power management framework in +general.] However, it often is desirable to leave devices in suspend after +system transitions to the working state, especially if those devices had been in +runtime suspend before the preceding system-wide suspend (or analogous) +transition. + +To that end, device drivers can use the ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` flag to +indicate to the PM core and middle-layer code that they allow their "noirq" and +"early" resume callbacks to be skipped if the device can be left in suspend +after system-wide PM transitions to the working state. Whether or not that is +the case generally depends on the state of the device before the given system +suspend-resume cycle and on the type of the system transition under way. +In particular, the "thaw" and "restore" transitions related to hibernation are +not affected by ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` at all. [All callbacks are +issued during the "restore" transition regardless of the flag settings, +and whether or not any driver callbacks +are skipped during the "thaw" transition depends whether or not the +``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` flag is set (see `above <smart_suspend_flag_>`_). +In addition, a device is not allowed to remain in runtime suspend if any of its +children will be returned to full power.] + +The ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` flag is taken into account in combination with +the :c:member:`power.may_skip_resume` status bit set by the PM core during the +"suspend" phase of suspend-type transitions. If the driver or the middle layer +has a reason to prevent the driver's "noirq" and "early" resume callbacks from +being skipped during the subsequent system resume transition, it should +clear :c:member:`power.may_skip_resume` in its ``->suspend``, ``->suspend_late`` +or ``->suspend_noirq`` callback. [Note that the drivers setting +``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` need to clear :c:member:`power.may_skip_resume` in +their ``->suspend`` callback in case the other two are skipped.] + +Setting the :c:member:`power.may_skip_resume` status bit along with the +``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` flag is necessary, but generally not sufficient, +for the driver's "noirq" and "early" resume callbacks to be skipped. Whether or +not they should be skipped can be determined by evaluating the +:c:func:`dev_pm_skip_resume` helper function. + +If that function returns ``true``, the driver's "noirq" and "early" resume +callbacks should be skipped and the device's runtime PM status will be set to +"suspended" by the PM core. Otherwise, if the device was runtime-suspended +during the preceding system-wide suspend transition and its +``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` is set, its runtime PM status will be set to +"active" by the PM core. [Hence, the drivers that do not set +``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` should not expect the runtime PM status of their +devices to be changed from "suspended" to "active" by the PM core during +system-wide resume-type transitions.] + +If the ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` flag is not set for a device, but +``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` is set and the driver's "late" and "noirq" suspend +callbacks are skipped, its system-wide "noirq" and "early" resume callbacks, if +present, are invoked as usual and the device's runtime PM status is set to +"active" by the PM core before enabling runtime PM for it. In that case, the +driver must be prepared to cope with the invocation of its system-wide resume +callbacks back-to-back with its ``->runtime_suspend`` one (without the +intervening ``->runtime_resume`` and system-wide suspend callbacks) and the +final state of the device must reflect the "active" runtime PM status in that +case. [Note that this is not a problem at all if the driver's +``->suspend_late`` callback pointer points to the same function as its +``->runtime_suspend`` one and its ``->resume_early`` callback pointer points to +the same function as the ``->runtime_resume`` one, while none of the other +system-wide suspend-resume callbacks of the driver are present, for example.] + +Likewise, if ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` is set for a device, its driver's +system-wide "noirq" and "early" resume callbacks may be skipped while its "late" +and "noirq" suspend callbacks may have been executed (in principle, regardless +of whether or not ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` is set). In that case, the driver +needs to be able to cope with the invocation of its ``->runtime_resume`` +callback back-to-back with its "late" and "noirq" suspend ones. [For instance, +that is not a concern if the driver sets both ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` and +``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` and uses the same pair of suspend/resume callback +functions for runtime PM and system-wide suspend/resume.] diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/pm/index.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/pm/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..c2a9ef8d1 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/pm/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,19 @@ +..

This assumption is +OK for the serial and parallel port, where you can do something +useful besides(!) the gathering of timestamps as it is the central +task for a PPS API. But this assumption does not work for a single +purpose GPIO line. In this case even basic file-related functionality +(like read() and write()) makes no sense at all and should not be a +precondition for the use of a PPS API. + +The problem can be simply solved if you consider that a PPS source is +not always connected with a GPS data source. + +So your programs should check if the GPS data source (the serial port +for instance) is a PPS source too, and if not they should provide the +possibility to open another device as PPS source. + +In LinuxPPS the PPS sources are simply char devices usually mapped +into files /dev/pps0, /dev/pps1, etc. + + +PPS with USB to serial devices +------------------------------ + +It is possible to grab the PPS from an USB to serial device. However, +you should take into account the latencies and jitter introduced by +the USB stack. Users have reported clock instability around +-1ms when +synchronized with PPS through USB. With USB 2.0, jitter may decrease +down to the order of 125 microseconds. + +This may be suitable for time server synchronization with NTP because +of its undersampling and algorithms. + +If your device doesn't report PPS, you can check that the feature is +supported by its driver. Most of the time, you only need to add a call +to usb_serial_handle_dcd_change after checking the DCD status (see +ch341 and pl2303 examples). + + +Coding example +-------------- + +To register a PPS source into the kernel you should define a struct +pps_source_info as follows:: + + static struct pps_source_info pps_ktimer_info = { + .name = "ktimer", + .path = "", + .mode = PPS_CAPTUREASSERT | PPS_OFFSETASSERT | + PPS_ECHOASSERT | + PPS_CANWAIT | PPS_TSFMT_TSPEC, + .echo = pps_ktimer_echo, + .owner = THIS_MODULE, + }; + +and then calling the function pps_register_source() in your +initialization routine as follows:: + + source = pps_register_source(&pps_ktimer_info, + PPS_CAPTUREASSERT | PPS_OFFSETASSERT); + +The pps_register_source() prototype is:: + + int pps_register_source(struct pps_source_info *info, int default_params) + +where "info" is a pointer to a structure that describes a particular +PPS source, "default_params" tells the system what the initial default +parameters for the device should be (it is obvious that these parameters +must be a subset of ones defined in the struct +pps_source_info which describe the capabilities of the driver). + +Once you have registered a new PPS source into the system you can +signal an assert event (for example in the interrupt handler routine) +just using:: + + pps_event(source, &ts, PPS_CAPTUREASSERT, ptr) + +where "ts" is the event's timestamp. + +The same function may also run the defined echo function +(pps_ktimer_echo(), passing to it the "ptr" pointer) if the user +asked for that... etc.. + +Please see the file drivers/pps/clients/pps-ktimer.c for example code. + + +SYSFS support +------------- + +If the SYSFS filesystem is enabled in the kernel it provides a new class:: + + $ ls /sys/class/pps/ + pps0/ pps1/ pps2/ + +Every directory is the ID of a PPS sources defined in the system and +inside you find several files:: + + $ ls -F /sys/class/pps/pps0/ + assert dev mode path subsystem@ + clear echo name power/ uevent + + +Inside each "assert" and "clear" file you can find the timestamp and a +sequence number:: + + $ cat /sys/class/pps/pps0/assert + 1170026870.983207967#8 + +Where before the "#" is the timestamp in seconds; after it is the +sequence number. Other files are: + + * echo: reports if the PPS source has an echo function or not; + + * mode: reports available PPS functioning modes; + + * name: reports the PPS source's name; + + * path: reports the PPS source's device path, that is the device the + PPS source is connected to (if it exists). + + +Testing the PPS support +----------------------- + +In order to test the PPS support even without specific hardware you can use +the pps-ktimer driver (see the client subsection in the PPS configuration menu) +and the userland tools available in your distribution's pps-tools package, +http://linuxpps.org , or https://github.com/redlab-i/pps-tools. + +Once you have enabled the compilation of pps-ktimer just modprobe it (if +not statically compiled):: + + # modprobe pps-ktimer + +and the run ppstest as follow:: + + $ ./ppstest /dev/pps1 + trying PPS source "/dev/pps1" + found PPS source "/dev/pps1" + ok, found 1 source(s), now start fetching data... + source 0 - assert 1186592699.388832443, sequence: 364 - clear 0.000000000, sequence: 0 + source 0 - assert 1186592700.388931295, sequence: 365 - clear 0.000000000, sequence: 0 + source 0 - assert 1186592701.389032765, sequence: 366 - clear 0.000000000, sequence: 0 + +Please note that to compile userland programs, you need the file timepps.h. +This is available in the pps-tools repository mentioned above. + + +Generators +---------- + +Sometimes one needs to be able not only to catch PPS signals but to produce +them also. For example, running a distributed simulation, which requires +computers' clock to be synchronized very tightly. One way to do this is to +invent some complicated hardware solutions but it may be neither necessary +nor affordable. The cheap way is to load a PPS generator on one of the +computers (master) and PPS clients on others (slaves), and use very simple +cables to deliver signals using parallel ports, for example. + +Parallel port cable pinout:: + + pin name master slave + 1 STROBE *------ * + 2 D0 * | * + 3 D1 * | * + 4 D2 * | * + 5 D3 * | * + 6 D4 * | * + 7 D5 * | * + 8 D6 * | * + 9 D7 * | * + 10 ACK * ------* + 11 BUSY * * + 12 PE * * + 13 SEL * * + 14 AUTOFD * * + 15 ERROR * * + 16 INIT * * + 17 SELIN * * + 18-25 GND *-----------* + +Please note that parallel port interrupt occurs only on high->low transition, +so it is used for PPS assert edge.

But if it is too small slave won't be able to capture clear edge +transition. The default of 30us should be good enough in most situations. +The delay can be selected using 'delay' pps_gen_parport module parameter. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/ptp.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/ptp.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..664838ae7 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/ptp.rst @@ -0,0 +1,108 @@ +..

To provide +this kind of flexibility the generic PWM API exists. + +Identifying PWMs +---------------- + +Users of the legacy PWM API use unique IDs to refer to PWM devices. + +Instead of referring to a PWM device via its unique ID, board setup code +should instead register a static mapping that can be used to match PWM +consumers to providers, as given in the following example:: + + static struct pwm_lookup board_pwm_lookup[] = { + PWM_LOOKUP("tegra-pwm", 0, "pwm-backlight", NULL, + 50000, PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL), + }; + + static void __init board_init(void) + { + ... + pwm_add_table(board_pwm_lookup, ARRAY_SIZE(board_pwm_lookup)); + ... + } + +Using PWMs +---------- + +Legacy users can request a PWM device using pwm_request() and free it +after usage with pwm_free(). + +New users should use the pwm_get() function and pass to it the consumer +device or a consumer name. pwm_put() is used to free the PWM device. Managed +variants of the getter, devm_pwm_get() and devm_fwnode_pwm_get(), also exist. + +After being requested, a PWM has to be configured using:: + + int pwm_apply_state(struct pwm_device *pwm, struct pwm_state *state); + +This API controls both the PWM period/duty_cycle config and the +enable/disable state. + +As a consumer, don't rely on the output's state for a disabled PWM. If it's +easily possible, drivers are supposed to emit the inactive state, but some +drivers cannot. If you rely on getting the inactive state, use .duty_cycle=0, +.enabled=true. + +There is also a usage_power setting: If set, the PWM driver is only required to +maintain the power output but has more freedom regarding signal form. +If supported by the driver, the signal can be optimized, for example to improve +EMI by phase shifting the individual channels of a chip. + +The pwm_config(), pwm_enable() and pwm_disable() functions are just wrappers +around pwm_apply_state() and should not be used if the user wants to change +several parameter at once. For example, if you see pwm_config() and +pwm_{enable,disable}() calls in the same function, this probably means you +should switch to pwm_apply_state(). + +The PWM user API also allows one to query the PWM state that was passed to the +last invocation of pwm_apply_state() using pwm_get_state(). Note this is +different to what the driver has actually implemented if the request cannot be +satisfied exactly with the hardware in use. There is currently no way for +consumers to get the actually implemented settings. + +In addition to the PWM state, the PWM API also exposes PWM arguments, which +are the reference PWM config one should use on this PWM. +PWM arguments are usually platform-specific and allows the PWM user to only +care about dutycycle relatively to the full period (like, duty = 50% of the +period). struct pwm_args contains 2 fields (period and polarity) and should +be used to set the initial PWM config (usually done in the probe function +of the PWM user). PWM arguments are retrieved with pwm_get_args(). + +All consumers should really be reconfiguring the PWM upon resume as +appropriate. This is the only way to ensure that everything is resumed in +the proper order. + +Using PWMs with the sysfs interface +----------------------------------- + +If CONFIG_SYSFS is enabled in your kernel configuration a simple sysfs +interface is provided to use the PWMs from userspace. It is exposed at +/sys/class/pwm/. Each probed PWM controller/chip will be exported as +pwmchipN, where N is the base of the PWM chip. Inside the directory you +will find: + + npwm + The number of PWM channels this chip supports (read-only). + + export + Exports a PWM channel for use with sysfs (write-only). + + unexport + Unexports a PWM channel from sysfs (write-only). + +The PWM channels are numbered using a per-chip index from 0 to npwm-1. + +When a PWM channel is exported a pwmX directory will be created in the +pwmchipN directory it is associated with, where X is the number of the +channel that was exported. The following properties will then be available: + + period + The total period of the PWM signal (read/write). + Value is in nanoseconds and is the sum of the active and inactive + time of the PWM. + + duty_cycle + The active time of the PWM signal (read/write). + Value is in nanoseconds and must be less than the period. + + polarity + Changes the polarity of the PWM signal (read/write). + Writes to this property only work if the PWM chip supports changing + the polarity. The polarity can only be changed if the PWM is not + enabled. Value is the string "normal" or "inversed". + + enable + Enable/disable the PWM signal (read/write). + + - 0 - disabled + - 1 - enabled + +Implementing a PWM driver +------------------------- + +Currently there are two ways to implement pwm drivers. Traditionally +there only has been the barebone API meaning that each driver has +to implement the pwm_*() functions itself. This means that it's impossible +to have multiple PWM drivers in the system. For this reason it's mandatory +for new drivers to use the generic PWM framework. + +A new PWM controller/chip can be added using pwmchip_add() and removed +again with pwmchip_remove(). pwmchip_add() takes a filled in struct +pwm_chip as argument which provides a description of the PWM chip, the +number of PWM devices provided by the chip and the chip-specific +implementation of the supported PWM operations to the framework. + +When implementing polarity support in a PWM driver, make sure to respect the +signal conventions in the PWM framework. By definition, normal polarity +characterizes a signal starts high for the duration of the duty cycle and +goes low for the remainder of the period. Conversely, a signal with inversed +polarity starts low for the duration of the duty cycle and goes high for the +remainder of the period. + +Drivers are encouraged to implement ->apply() instead of the legacy +->enable(), ->disable() and ->config() methods. Doing that should provide +atomicity in the PWM config workflow, which is required when the PWM controls +a critical device (like a regulator). + +The implementation of ->get_state() (a method used to retrieve initial PWM +state) is also encouraged for the same reason: letting the PWM user know +about the current PWM state would allow him to avoid glitches. + +Drivers should not implement any power management. In other words, +consumers should implement it as described in the "Using PWMs" section. + +Locking +------- + +The PWM core list manipulations are protected by a mutex, so pwm_request() +and pwm_free() may not be called from an atomic context. Currently the +PWM core does not enforce any locking to pwm_enable(), pwm_disable() and +pwm_config(), so the calling context is currently driver specific. This +is an issue derived from the former barebone API and should be fixed soon. + +Helpers +------- + +Currently a PWM can only be configured with period_ns and duty_ns. For several +use cases freq_hz and duty_percent might be better. Instead of calculating +this in your driver please consider adding appropriate helpers to the framework. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/rapidio/index.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/rapidio/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..a41b4242d --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/rapidio/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,15 @@ +..

Development of the RapidIO standard is directed by the +RapidIO Trade Association (RTA). The current version of the RapidIO specification +is publicly available for download from the RTA web-site [1]. + +This document describes the basics of the Linux RapidIO subsystem and provides +information on its major components. + +1 Overview +========== + +Because the RapidIO subsystem follows the Linux device model it is integrated +into the kernel similarly to other buses by defining RapidIO-specific device and +bus types and registering them within the device model. + +The Linux RapidIO subsystem is architecture independent and therefore defines +architecture-specific interfaces that provide support for common RapidIO +subsystem operations. + +2. Core Components +================== + +A typical RapidIO network is a combination of endpoints and switches. +Each of these components is represented in the subsystem by an associated data +structure. The core logical components of the RapidIO subsystem are defined +in include/linux/rio.h file. + +2.1 Master Port +--------------- + +A master port (or mport) is a RapidIO interface controller that is local to the +processor executing the Linux code. A master port generates and receives RapidIO +packets (transactions). In the RapidIO subsystem each master port is represented +by a rio_mport data structure. This structure contains master port specific +resources such as mailboxes and doorbells. The rio_mport also includes a unique +host device ID that is valid when a master port is configured as an enumerating +host. + +RapidIO master ports are serviced by subsystem specific mport device drivers +that provide functionality defined for this subsystem. To provide a hardware +independent interface for RapidIO subsystem operations, rio_mport structure +includes rio_ops data structure which contains pointers to hardware specific +implementations of RapidIO functions. + +2.2 Device +---------- + +A RapidIO device is any endpoint (other than mport) or switch in the network. +All devices are presented in the RapidIO subsystem by corresponding rio_dev data +structure. Devices form one global device list and per-network device lists +(depending on number of available mports and networks). + +2.3 Switch +---------- + +A RapidIO switch is a special class of device that routes packets between its +ports towards their final destination. The packet destination port within a +switch is defined by an internal routing table. A switch is presented in the +RapidIO subsystem by rio_dev data structure expanded by additional rio_switch +data structure, which contains switch specific information such as copy of the +routing table and pointers to switch specific functions. + +The RapidIO subsystem defines the format and initialization method for subsystem +specific switch drivers that are designed to provide hardware-specific +implementation of common switch management routines. + +2.4 Network +----------- + +A RapidIO network is a combination of interconnected endpoint and switch devices. +Each RapidIO network known to the system is represented by corresponding rio_net +data structure. This structure includes lists of all devices and local master +ports that form the same network. It also contains a pointer to the default +master port that is used to communicate with devices within the network. + +2.5 Device Drivers +------------------ + +RapidIO device-specific drivers follow Linux Kernel Driver Model and are +intended to support specific RapidIO devices attached to the RapidIO network. + +2.6 Subsystem Interfaces +------------------------ + +RapidIO interconnect specification defines features that may be used to provide +one or more common service layers for all participating RapidIO devices. These +common services may act separately from device-specific drivers or be used by +device-specific drivers. Example of such service provider is the RIONET driver +which implements Ethernet-over-RapidIO interface. Because only one driver can be +registered for a device, all common RapidIO services have to be registered as +subsystem interfaces. This allows to have multiple common services attached to +the same device without blocking attachment of a device-specific driver. + +3. Subsystem Initialization +=========================== + +In order to initialize the RapidIO subsystem, a platform must initialize and +register at least one master port within the RapidIO network. To register mport +within the subsystem controller driver's initialization code calls function +rio_register_mport() for each available master port. + +After all active master ports are registered with a RapidIO subsystem, +an enumeration and/or discovery routine may be called automatically or +by user-space command. + +RapidIO subsystem can be configured to be built as a statically linked or +modular component of the kernel (see details below). + +4. Enumeration and Discovery +============================ + +4.1 Overview +------------ + +RapidIO subsystem configuration options allow users to build enumeration and +discovery methods as statically linked components or loadable modules. +An enumeration/discovery method implementation and available input parameters +define how any given method can be attached to available RapidIO mports: +simply to all available mports OR individually to the specified mport device. + +Depending on selected enumeration/discovery build configuration, there are +several methods to initiate an enumeration and/or discovery process: + + (a) Statically linked enumeration and discovery process can be started + automatically during kernel initialization time using corresponding module + parameters. This was the original method used since introduction of RapidIO + subsystem. Now this method relies on enumerator module parameter which is + 'rio-scan.scan' for existing basic enumeration/discovery method. + When automatic start of enumeration/discovery is used a user has to ensure + that all discovering endpoints are started before the enumerating endpoint + and are waiting for enumeration to be completed. + Configuration option CONFIG_RAPIDIO_DISC_TIMEOUT defines time that discovering + endpoint waits for enumeration to be completed. If the specified timeout + expires the discovery process is terminated without obtaining RapidIO network + information. NOTE: a timed out discovery process may be restarted later using + a user-space command as it is described below (if the given endpoint was + enumerated successfully). + + (b) Statically linked enumeration and discovery process can be started by + a command from user space. This initiation method provides more flexibility + for a system startup compared to the option (a) above. After all participating + endpoints have been successfully booted, an enumeration process shall be + started first by issuing a user-space command, after an enumeration is + completed a discovery process can be started on all remaining endpoints. + + (c) Modular enumeration and discovery process can be started by a command from + user space. After an enumeration/discovery module is loaded, a network scan + process can be started by issuing a user-space command. + Similar to the option (b) above, an enumerator has to be started first. + + (d) Modular enumeration and discovery process can be started by a module + initialization routine. In this case an enumerating module shall be loaded + first. + +When a network scan process is started it calls an enumeration or discovery +routine depending on the configured role of a master port: host or agent. + +Enumeration is performed by a master port if it is configured as a host port by +assigning a host destination ID greater than or equal to zero. The host +destination ID can be assigned to a master port using various methods depending +on RapidIO subsystem build configuration: + + (a) For a statically linked RapidIO subsystem core use command line parameter + "rapidio.hdid=" with a list of destination ID assignments in order of mport + device registration. For example, in a system with two RapidIO controllers + the command line parameter "rapidio.hdid=-1,7" will result in assignment of + the host destination ID=7 to the second RapidIO controller, while the first + one will be assigned destination ID=-1. + + (b) If the RapidIO subsystem core is built as a loadable module, in addition + to the method shown above, the host destination ID(s) can be specified using + traditional methods of passing module parameter "hdid=" during its loading: + + - from command line: "modprobe rapidio hdid=-1,7", or + - from modprobe configuration file using configuration command "options", + like in this example: "options rapidio hdid=-1,7". An example of modprobe + configuration file is provided in the section below. + +NOTES: + (i) if "hdid=" parameter is omitted all available mport will be assigned + destination ID = -1; + + (ii) the "hdid=" parameter in systems with multiple mports can have + destination ID assignments omitted from the end of list (default = -1). + +If the host device ID for a specific master port is set to -1, the discovery +process will be performed for it. + +The enumeration and discovery routines use RapidIO maintenance transactions +to access the configuration space of devices. + +NOTE: If RapidIO switch-specific device drivers are built as loadable modules +they must be loaded before enumeration/discovery process starts. +This requirement is cased by the fact that enumeration/discovery methods invoke +vendor-specific callbacks on early stages. + +4.2 Automatic Start of Enumeration and Discovery +------------------------------------------------ + +Automatic enumeration/discovery start method is applicable only to built-in +enumeration/discovery RapidIO configuration selection. To enable automatic +enumeration/discovery start by existing basic enumerator method set use boot +command line parameter "rio-scan.scan=1". + +This configuration requires synchronized start of all RapidIO endpoints that +form a network which will be enumerated/discovered. Discovering endpoints have +to be started before an enumeration starts to ensure that all RapidIO +controllers have been initialized and are ready to be discovered. Configuration +parameter CONFIG_RAPIDIO_DISC_TIMEOUT defines time (in seconds) which +a discovering endpoint will wait for enumeration to be completed. + +When automatic enumeration/discovery start is selected, basic method's +initialization routine calls rio_init_mports() to perform enumeration or +discovery for all known mport devices. + +Depending on RapidIO network size and configuration this automatic +enumeration/discovery start method may be difficult to use due to the +requirement for synchronized start of all endpoints. + +4.3 User-space Start of Enumeration and Discovery +------------------------------------------------- + +User-space start of enumeration and discovery can be used with built-in and +modular build configurations. For user-space controlled start RapidIO subsystem +creates the sysfs write-only attribute file '/sys/bus/rapidio/scan'. To initiate +an enumeration or discovery process on specific mport device, a user needs to +write mport_ID (not RapidIO destination ID) into that file. The mport_ID is a +sequential number (0 ... RIO_MAX_MPORTS) assigned during mport device +registration. For example for machine with single RapidIO controller, mport_ID +for that controller always will be 0. + +To initiate RapidIO enumeration/discovery on all available mports a user may +write '-1' (or RIO_MPORT_ANY) into the scan attribute file. + +4.4 Basic Enumeration Method +---------------------------- + +This is an original enumeration/discovery method which is available since +first release of RapidIO subsystem code. The enumeration process is +implemented according to the enumeration algorithm outlined in the RapidIO +Interconnect Specification: Annex I [1]. + +This method can be configured as statically linked or loadable module. +The method's single parameter "scan" allows to trigger the enumeration/discovery +process from module initialization routine. + +This enumeration/discovery method can be started only once and does not support +unloading if it is built as a module. + +The enumeration process traverses the network using a recursive depth-first +algorithm. When a new device is found, the enumerator takes ownership of that +device by writing into the Host Device ID Lock CSR. It does this to ensure that +the enumerator has exclusive right to enumerate the device. If device ownership +is successfully acquired, the enumerator allocates a new rio_dev structure and +initializes it according to device capabilities. + +If the device is an endpoint, a unique device ID is assigned to it and its value +is written into the device's Base Device ID CSR. + +If the device is a switch, the enumerator allocates an additional rio_switch +structure to store switch specific information. Then the switch's vendor ID and +device ID are queried against a table of known RapidIO switches. Each switch +table entry contains a pointer to a switch-specific initialization routine that +initializes pointers to the rest of switch specific operations, and performs +hardware initialization if necessary. A RapidIO switch does not have a unique +device ID; it relies on hopcount and routing for device ID of an attached +endpoint if access to its configuration registers is required. If a switch (or +chain of switches) does not have any endpoint (except enumerator) attached to +it, a fake device ID will be assigned to configure a route to that switch. +In the case of a chain of switches without endpoint, one fake device ID is used +to configure a route through the entire chain and switches are differentiated by +their hopcount value. + +For both endpoints and switches the enumerator writes a unique component tag +into device's Component Tag CSR. That unique value is used by the error +management notification mechanism to identify a device that is reporting an +error management event. + +Enumeration beyond a switch is completed by iterating over each active egress +port of that switch. For each active link, a route to a default device ID +(0xFF for 8-bit systems and 0xFFFF for 16-bit systems) is temporarily written +into the routing table. The algorithm recurs by calling itself with hopcount + 1 +and the default device ID in order to access the device on the active port. + +After the host has completed enumeration of the entire network it releases +devices by clearing device ID locks (calls rio_clear_locks()). For each endpoint +in the system, it sets the Discovered bit in the Port General Control CSR +to indicate that enumeration is completed and agents are allowed to execute +passive discovery of the network. + +The discovery process is performed by agents and is similar to the enumeration +process that is described above. However, the discovery process is performed +without changes to the existing routing because agents only gather information +about RapidIO network structure and are building an internal map of discovered +devices. This way each Linux-based component of the RapidIO subsystem has +a complete view of the network. The discovery process can be performed +simultaneously by several agents. After initializing its RapidIO master port +each agent waits for enumeration completion by the host for the configured wait +time period. If this wait time period expires before enumeration is completed, +an agent skips RapidIO discovery and continues with remaining kernel +initialization. + +4.5 Adding New Enumeration/Discovery Method +------------------------------------------- + +RapidIO subsystem code organization allows addition of new enumeration/discovery +methods as new configuration options without significant impact to the core +RapidIO code. + +A new enumeration/discovery method has to be attached to one or more mport +devices before an enumeration/discovery process can be started. Normally, +method's module initialization routine calls rio_register_scan() to attach +an enumerator to a specified mport device (or devices). The basic enumerator +implementation demonstrates this process. + +4.6 Using Loadable RapidIO Switch Drivers +----------------------------------------- + +In the case when RapidIO switch drivers are built as loadable modules a user +must ensure that they are loaded before the enumeration/discovery starts. +This process can be automated by specifying pre- or post- dependencies in the +RapidIO-specific modprobe configuration file as shown in the example below. + +File /etc/modprobe.d/rapidio.conf:: + + # Configure RapidIO subsystem modules + + # Set enumerator host destination ID (overrides kernel command line option) + options rapidio hdid=-1,2 + + # Load RapidIO switch drivers immediately after rapidio core module was loaded + softdep rapidio post: idt_gen2 idtcps tsi57x + + # OR : + + # Load RapidIO switch drivers just before rio-scan enumerator module is loaded + softdep rio-scan pre: idt_gen2 idtcps tsi57x + + -------------------------- + +NOTE: + In the example above, one of "softdep" commands must be removed or + commented out to keep required module loading sequence. + +5.

Overview +=========== + +This device driver is the result of collaboration within the RapidIO.org +Software Task Group (STG) between Texas Instruments, Prodrive Technologies, +Nokia Networks, BAE and IDT. Additional input was received from other members +of RapidIO.org. + +The objective was to create a character mode driver interface which exposes +messaging capabilities of RapidIO endpoint devices (mports) directly +to applications, in a manner that allows the numerous and varied RapidIO +implementations to interoperate. + +This driver (RIO_CM) provides to user-space applications shared access to +RapidIO mailbox messaging resources. + +RapidIO specification (Part 2) defines that endpoint devices may have up to four +messaging mailboxes in case of multi-packet message (up to 4KB) and +up to 64 mailboxes if single-packet messages (up to 256 B) are used. In addition +to protocol definition limitations, a particular hardware implementation can +have reduced number of messaging mailboxes. RapidIO aware applications must +therefore share the messaging resources of a RapidIO endpoint. + +Main purpose of this device driver is to provide RapidIO mailbox messaging +capability to large number of user-space processes by introducing socket-like +operations using a single messaging mailbox. This allows applications to +use the limited RapidIO messaging hardware resources efficiently. + +Most of device driver's operations are supported through 'ioctl' system calls. + +When loaded this device driver creates a single file system node named rio_cm +in /dev directory common for all registered RapidIO mport devices. + +Following ioctl commands are available to user-space applications: + +- RIO_CM_MPORT_GET_LIST: + Returns to caller list of local mport devices that + support messaging operations (number of entries up to RIO_MAX_MPORTS). + Each list entry is combination of mport's index in the system and RapidIO + destination ID assigned to the port. +- RIO_CM_EP_GET_LIST_SIZE: + Returns number of messaging capable remote endpoints + in a RapidIO network associated with the specified mport device. +- RIO_CM_EP_GET_LIST: + Returns list of RapidIO destination IDs for messaging + capable remote endpoints (peers) available in a RapidIO network associated + with the specified mport device. +- RIO_CM_CHAN_CREATE: + Creates RapidIO message exchange channel data structure + with channel ID assigned automatically or as requested by a caller. +- RIO_CM_CHAN_BIND: + Binds the specified channel data structure to the specified + mport device. +- RIO_CM_CHAN_LISTEN: + Enables listening for connection requests on the specified + channel. +- RIO_CM_CHAN_ACCEPT: + Accepts a connection request from peer on the specified + channel. If wait timeout for this request is specified by a caller it is + a blocking call. If timeout set to 0 this is non-blocking call - ioctl + handler checks for a pending connection request and if one is not available + exits with -EGAIN error status immediately. +- RIO_CM_CHAN_CONNECT: + Sends a connection request to a remote peer/channel. +- RIO_CM_CHAN_SEND: + Sends a data message through the specified channel. + The handler for this request assumes that message buffer specified by + a caller includes the reserved space for a packet header required by + this driver. +- RIO_CM_CHAN_RECEIVE: + Receives a data message through a connected channel. + If the channel does not have an incoming message ready to return this ioctl + handler will wait for new message until timeout specified by a caller + expires. If timeout value is set to 0, ioctl handler uses a default value + defined by MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT. +- RIO_CM_CHAN_CLOSE: + Closes a specified channel and frees associated buffers. + If the specified channel is in the CONNECTED state, sends close notification + to the remote peer. + +The ioctl command codes and corresponding data structures intended for use by +user-space applications are defined in 'include/uapi/linux/rio_cm_cdev.h'. + +2.

This applies to +both voltage regulators (where voltage output is controllable) and +current sinks (where current limit is controllable). + +Note that additional (and currently more complete) documentation is +available in the Linux kernel source under +``Documentation/power/regulator``. + +Glossary +-------- + +The regulator API uses a number of terms which may not be familiar: + +Regulator + + Electronic device that supplies power to other devices. Most regulators + can enable and disable their output and some can also control their + output voltage or current. + +Consumer + + Electronic device which consumes power provided by a regulator. These + may either be static, requiring only a fixed supply, or dynamic, + requiring active management of the regulator at runtime. + +Power Domain + + The electronic circuit supplied by a given regulator, including the + regulator and all consumer devices. The configuration of the regulator + is shared between all the components in the circuit. + +Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) + + An IC which contains numerous regulators and often also other + subsystems. In an embedded system the primary PMIC is often equivalent + to a combination of the PSU and southbridge in a desktop system. + +Consumer driver interface +========================= + +This offers a similar API to the kernel clock framework. Consumer +drivers use `get <#API-regulator-get>`__ and +`put <#API-regulator-put>`__ operations to acquire and release +regulators. Functions are provided to `enable <#API-regulator-enable>`__ +and `disable <#API-regulator-disable>`__ the regulator and to get and +set the runtime parameters of the regulator. + +When requesting regulators consumers use symbolic names for their +supplies, such as "Vcc", which are mapped into actual regulator devices +by the machine interface. + +A stub version of this API is provided when the regulator framework is +not in use in order to minimise the need to use ifdefs. + +Enabling and disabling +---------------------- + +The regulator API provides reference counted enabling and disabling of +regulators. Consumer devices use the :c:func:`regulator_enable()` and +:c:func:`regulator_disable()` functions to enable and disable +regulators. Calls to the two functions must be balanced. + +Note that since multiple consumers may be using a regulator and machine +constraints may not allow the regulator to be disabled there is no +guarantee that calling :c:func:`regulator_disable()` will actually +cause the supply provided by the regulator to be disabled. Consumer +drivers should assume that the regulator may be enabled at all times. + +Configuration +------------- + +Some consumer devices may need to be able to dynamically configure their +supplies. For example, MMC drivers may need to select the correct +operating voltage for their cards. This may be done while the regulator +is enabled or disabled. + +The :c:func:`regulator_set_voltage()` and +:c:func:`regulator_set_current_limit()` functions provide the primary +interface for this. Both take ranges of voltages and currents, supporting +drivers that do not require a specific value (eg, CPU frequency scaling +normally permits the CPU to use a wider range of supply voltages at lower +frequencies but does not require that the supply voltage be lowered). Where +an exact value is required both minimum and maximum values should be +identical. + +Callbacks +--------- + +Callbacks may also be registered for events such as regulation failures. + +Regulator driver interface +========================== + +Drivers for regulator chips register the regulators with the regulator +core, providing operations structures to the core. A notifier interface +allows error conditions to be reported to the core. + +Registration should be triggered by explicit setup done by the platform, +supplying a struct regulator_init_data for the regulator +containing constraint and supply information. + +Machine interface +================= + +This interface provides a way to define how regulators are connected to +consumers on a given system and what the valid operating parameters are +for the system. + +Supplies +-------- + +Regulator supplies are specified using struct +:c:type:`regulator_consumer_supply`. This is done at driver registration +time as part of the machine constraints. + +Constraints +----------- + +As well as defining the connections the machine interface also provides +constraints defining the operations that clients are allowed to perform +and the parameters that may be set. This is required since generally +regulator devices will offer more flexibility than it is safe to use on +a given system, for example supporting higher supply voltages than the +consumers are rated for. + +This is done at driver registration time` by providing a +struct regulation_constraints. + +The constraints may also specify an initial configuration for the +regulator in the constraints, which is particularly useful for use with +static consumers. + +API reference +============= + +Due to limitations of the kernel documentation framework and the +existing layout of the source code the entire regulator API is +documented here. + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/regulator/consumer.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/regulator/machine.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/regulator/driver.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/regulator/core.c + :export: diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/reset.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/reset.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..84e03d703 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/reset.rst @@ -0,0 +1,221 @@ +.. SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only + +==================== +Reset controller API +==================== + +Introduction +============ + +Reset controllers are central units that control the reset signals to multiple +peripherals. +The reset controller API is split into two parts: +the `consumer driver interface <#consumer-driver-interface>`__ (`API reference +<#reset-consumer-api>`__), which allows peripheral drivers to request control +over their reset input signals, and the `reset controller driver interface +<#reset-controller-driver-interface>`__ (`API reference +<#reset-controller-driver-api>`__), which is used by drivers for reset +controller devices to register their reset controls to provide them to the +consumers. + +While some reset controller hardware units also implement system restart +functionality, restart handlers are out of scope for the reset controller API. + +Glossary +-------- + +The reset controller API uses these terms with a specific meaning: + +Reset line + + Physical reset line carrying a reset signal from a reset controller + hardware unit to a peripheral module. + +Reset control + + Control method that determines the state of one or multiple reset lines. + Most commonly this is a single bit in reset controller register space that + either allows direct control over the physical state of the reset line, or + is self-clearing and can be used to trigger a predetermined pulse on the + reset line. + In more complicated reset controls, a single trigger action can launch a + carefully timed sequence of pulses on multiple reset lines. + +Reset controller + + A hardware module that provides a number of reset controls to control a + number of reset lines. + +Reset consumer + + Peripheral module or external IC that is put into reset by the signal on a + reset line. + +Consumer driver interface +========================= + +This interface provides an API that is similar to the kernel clock framework. +Consumer drivers use get and put operations to acquire and release reset +controls. +Functions are provided to assert and deassert the controlled reset lines, +trigger reset pulses, or to query reset line status. + +When requesting reset controls, consumers can use symbolic names for their +reset inputs, which are mapped to an actual reset control on an existing reset +controller device by the core. + +A stub version of this API is provided when the reset controller framework is +not in use in order to minimize the need to use ifdefs. + +Shared and exclusive resets +--------------------------- + +The reset controller API provides either reference counted deassertion and +assertion or direct, exclusive control. +The distinction between shared and exclusive reset controls is made at the time +the reset control is requested, either via devm_reset_control_get_shared() or +via devm_reset_control_get_exclusive(). +This choice determines the behavior of the API calls made with the reset +control. + +Shared resets behave similarly to clocks in the kernel clock framework. +They provide reference counted deassertion, where only the first deassert, +which increments the deassertion reference count to one, and the last assert +which decrements the deassertion reference count back to zero, have a physical +effect on the reset line. + +Exclusive resets on the other hand guarantee direct control. +That is, an assert causes the reset line to be asserted immediately, and a +deassert causes the reset line to be deasserted immediately. + +Assertion and deassertion +------------------------- + +Consumer drivers use the reset_control_assert() and reset_control_deassert() +functions to assert and deassert reset lines. +For shared reset controls, calls to the two functions must be balanced. + +Note that since multiple consumers may be using a shared reset control, there +is no guarantee that calling reset_control_assert() on a shared reset control +will actually cause the reset line to be asserted. +Consumer drivers using shared reset controls should assume that the reset line +may be kept deasserted at all times. +The API only guarantees that the reset line can not be asserted as long as any +consumer has requested it to be deasserted. + +Triggering +---------- + +Consumer drivers use reset_control_reset() to trigger a reset pulse on a +self-deasserting reset control. +In general, these resets can not be shared between multiple consumers, since +requesting a pulse from any consumer driver will reset all connected +peripherals. + +The reset controller API allows requesting self-deasserting reset controls as +shared, but for those only the first trigger request causes an actual pulse to +be issued on the reset line. +All further calls to this function have no effect until all consumers have +called reset_control_rearm(). +For shared reset controls, calls to the two functions must be balanced. +This allows devices that only require an initial reset at any point before the +driver is probed or resumed to share a pulsed reset line. + +Querying +-------- + +Only some reset controllers support querying the current status of a reset +line, via reset_control_status(). +If supported, this function returns a positive non-zero value if the given +reset line is asserted. +The reset_control_status() function does not accept a +`reset control array <#reset-control-arrays>`__ handle as its input parameter. + +Optional resets +--------------- + +Often peripherals require a reset line on some platforms but not on others. +For this, reset controls can be requested as optional using +devm_reset_control_get_optional_exclusive() or +devm_reset_control_get_optional_shared(). +These functions return a NULL pointer instead of an error when the requested +reset control is not specified in the device tree. +Passing a NULL pointer to the reset_control functions causes them to return +quietly without an error. + +Reset control arrays +-------------------- + +Some drivers need to assert a bunch of reset lines in no particular order. +devm_reset_control_array_get() returns an opaque reset control handle that can +be used to assert, deassert, or trigger all specified reset controls at once. +The reset control API does not guarantee the order in which the individual +controls therein are handled. + +Reset controller driver interface +================================= + +Drivers for reset controller modules provide the functionality necessary to +assert or deassert reset signals, to trigger a reset pulse on a reset line, or +to query its current state. +All functions are optional. + +Initialization +-------------- + +Drivers fill a struct :c:type:`reset_controller_dev` and register it with +reset_controller_register() in their probe function. +The actual functionality is implemented in callback functions via a struct +:c:type:`reset_control_ops`. + +API reference +============= + +The reset controller API is documented here in two parts: +the `reset consumer API <#reset-consumer-api>`__ and the `reset controller +driver API <#reset-controller-driver-api>`__. + +Reset consumer API +------------------ + +Reset consumers can control a reset line using an opaque reset control handle, +which can be obtained from devm_reset_control_get_exclusive() or +devm_reset_control_get_shared(). +Given the reset control, consumers can call reset_control_assert() and +reset_control_deassert(), trigger a reset pulse using reset_control_reset(), or +query the

+ +Introduction +============ + +The rfkill subsystem provides a generic interface for disabling any radio +transmitter in the system. When a transmitter is blocked, it shall not +radiate any power. + +The subsystem also provides the ability to react on button presses and +disable all transmitters of a certain type (or all). This is intended for +situations where transmitters need to be turned off, for example on +aircraft. + +The rfkill subsystem has a concept of "hard" and "soft" block, which +differ little in their meaning (block == transmitters off) but rather in +whether they can be changed or not: + + - hard block + read-only radio block that cannot be overridden by software + + - soft block + writable radio block (need not be readable) that is set by + the system software. + +The rfkill subsystem has two parameters, rfkill.default_state and +rfkill.master_switch_mode, which are documented in +admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst. + + +Implementation details +====================== + +The rfkill subsystem is composed of three main components: + + * the rfkill core, + * the deprecated rfkill-input module (an input layer handler, being + replaced by userspace policy code) and + * the rfkill drivers. + +The rfkill core provides API for kernel drivers to register their radio +transmitter with the kernel, methods for turning it on and off, and letting +the system know about hardware-disabled states that may be implemented on +the device. + +The rfkill core code also notifies userspace of state changes, and provides +ways for userspace to query the current states. See the "Userspace support" +section below. + +When the device is hard-blocked (either by a call to rfkill_set_hw_state() +or from query_hw_block), set_block() will be invoked for additional software +block, but drivers can ignore the method call since they can use the return +value of the function rfkill_set_hw_state() to sync the software state +instead of keeping track of calls to set_block(). In fact, drivers should +use the return value of rfkill_set_hw_state() unless the hardware actually +keeps track of soft and hard block separately. + + +Kernel API +========== + +Drivers for radio transmitters normally implement an rfkill driver. + +Platform drivers might implement input devices if the rfkill button is just +that, a button. If that button influences the hardware then you need to +implement an rfkill driver instead. This also applies if the platform provides +a way to turn on/off the transmitter(s). + +For some platforms, it is possible that the hardware state changes during +suspend/hibernation, in which case it will be necessary to update the rfkill +core with the current state at resume time. + +To create an rfkill driver, driver's Kconfig needs to have:: + + depends on RFKILL || !RFKILL + +to ensure the driver cannot be built-in when rfkill is modular. The !RFKILL +case allows the driver to be built when rfkill is not configured, in which +case all rfkill API can still be used but will be provided by static inlines +which compile to almost nothing. + +Calling rfkill_set_hw_state() when a state change happens is required from +rfkill drivers that control devices that can be hard-blocked unless they also +assign the poll_hw_block() callback (then the rfkill core will poll the +device). Don't do this unless you cannot get the event in any other way. + +rfkill provides per-switch LED triggers, which can be used to drive LEDs +according to the switch state (LED_FULL when blocked, LED_OFF otherwise). + + +Userspace support +================= + +The recommended userspace interface to use is /dev/rfkill, which is a misc +character device that allows userspace to obtain and set the state of rfkill +devices and sets of devices. It also notifies userspace about device addition +and removal. The API is a simple read/write API that is defined in +linux/rfkill.h, with one ioctl that allows turning off the deprecated input +handler in the kernel for the transition period. + +Except for the one ioctl, communication with the kernel is done via read() +and write() of instances of 'struct rfkill_event'. In this structure, the +soft and hard block are properly separated (unlike sysfs, see below) and +userspace is able to get a consistent snapshot of all rfkill devices in the +system. Also, it is possible to switch all rfkill drivers (or all drivers of +a specified type) into a state which also updates the default state for +hotplugged devices. + +After an application opens /dev/rfkill, it can read the current state of all +devices. Changes can be obtained by either polling the descriptor for +hotplug or state change events or by listening for uevents emitted by the +rfkill core framework. + +Additionally, each rfkill device is registered in sysfs and emits uevents. + +rfkill devices issue uevents (with an action of "change"), with the following +environment variables set:: + + RFKILL_NAME + RFKILL_STATE + RFKILL_TYPE + +The content of these variables corresponds to the "name", "state" and +"type" sysfs files explained above. + +For further details consult Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-class-rfkill. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/s390-drivers.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/s390-drivers.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..5158577bc --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/s390-drivers.rst @@ -0,0 +1,135 @@ +=================================== +Writing s390 channel device drivers +=================================== + +:Author: Cornelia Huck + +Introduction +============ + +This document describes the interfaces available for device drivers that +drive s390 based channel attached I/O devices.

Introduction +=============== + + EIA-485, also known as TIA/EIA-485 or RS-485, is a standard defining the + electrical characteristics of drivers and receivers for use in balanced + digital multipoint systems. + This standard is widely used for communications in industrial automation + because it can be used effectively over long distances and in electrically + noisy environments. + +2. Hardware-related Considerations +================================== + + Some CPUs/UARTs (e.g., Atmel AT91 or 16C950 UART) contain a built-in + half-duplex mode capable of automatically controlling line direction by + toggling RTS or DTR signals. That can be used to control external + half-duplex hardware like an RS485 transceiver or any RS232-connected + half-duplex devices like some modems. + + For these microcontrollers, the Linux driver should be made capable of + working in both modes, and proper ioctls (see later) should be made + available at user-level to allow switching from one mode to the other, and + vice versa. + +3. Data Structures Already Available in the Kernel +================================================== + + The Linux kernel provides the serial_rs485 structure (see [1]) to handle + RS485 communications. This data structure is used to set and configure RS485 + parameters in the platform data and in ioctls. + + The device tree can also provide RS485 boot time parameters (see [2] + for bindings). The driver is in charge of filling this data structure from + the values given by the device tree. + + Any driver for devices capable of working both as RS232 and RS485 should + implement the rs485_config callback and provide rs485_supported in the + uart_port structure. The serial core calls rs485_config to do the device + specific part in response to TIOCSRS485 ioctl (see below). The rs485_config + callback receives a pointer to a sanitizated serial_rs485 structure. The + serial_rs485 userspace provides is sanitized before calling rs485_config + using rs485_supported that indicates what RS485 features the driver supports + for the uart_port. TIOCGRS485 ioctl can be used to read back the + serial_rs485 structure matching to the current configuration. + +4. Usage from user-level +======================== + + From user-level, RS485 configuration can be get/set using the previous + ioctls.

See errno. */ + } + + /* Use read() and write() syscalls here... */ + + /* Close the device when finished: */ + if (close (fd) < 0) { + /* Error handling. See errno. */ + } + +5. Multipoint Addressing +======================== + + The Linux kernel provides addressing mode for multipoint RS-485 serial + communications line. The addressing mode is enabled with SER_RS485_ADDRB + flag in serial_rs485. Struct serial_rs485 has two additional flags and + fields for enabling receive and destination addresses. + + Address mode flags: + - SER_RS485_ADDRB: Enabled addressing mode (sets also ADDRB in termios). + - SER_RS485_ADDR_RECV: Receive (filter) address enabled. + - SER_RS485_ADDR_DEST: Set destination address. + + Address fields (enabled with corresponding SER_RS485_ADDR_* flag): + - addr_recv: Receive address. + - addr_dest: Destination address. + + Once a receive address is set, the communication can occur only with the + particular device and other peers are filtered out. It is left up to the + receiver side to enforce the filtering. Receive address will be cleared + if SER_RS485_ADDR_RECV is not set. + + Note: not all devices supporting RS485 support multipoint addressing. + +6.

The bus uses master/slave +configuration, and is a 2-wire multi-drop implementation (clock, and data). + +Currently, SLIMbus is used to interface between application processors of SoCs +(System-on-Chip) and peripheral components (typically codec). SLIMbus uses +Time-Division-Multiplexing to accommodate multiple data channels, and +a control channel. + +The control channel is used for various control functions such as bus +management, configuration and status updates. These messages can be unicast (e.g. +reading/writing device specific values), or multicast (e.g. data channel +reconfiguration sequence is a broadcast message announced to all devices) + +A data channel is used for data-transfer between 2 SLIMbus devices. Data +channel uses dedicated ports on the device. + +Hardware description: +--------------------- +SLIMbus specification has different types of device classifications based on +their capabilities. +A manager device is responsible for enumeration, configuration, and dynamic +channel allocation. Every bus has 1 active manager. + +A generic device is a device providing application functionality (e.g. codec). + +Framer device is responsible for clocking the bus, and transmitting frame-sync +and framing information on the bus. + +Each SLIMbus component has an interface device for monitoring physical layer. + +Typically each SoC contains SLIMbus component having 1 manager, 1 framer device, +1 generic device (for data channel support), and 1 interface device. +External peripheral SLIMbus component usually has 1 generic device (for +functionality/data channel support), and an associated interface device. +The generic device's registers are mapped as 'value elements' so that they can +be written/read using SLIMbus control channel exchanging control/status type of +information. +In case there are multiple framer devices on the same bus, manager device is +responsible to select the active-framer for clocking the bus. + +Per specification, SLIMbus uses "clock gears" to do power management based on +current frequency and bandwidth requirements. There are 10 clock gears and each +gear changes the SLIMbus frequency to be twice its previous gear. + +Each device has a 6-byte enumeration-address and the manager assigns every +device with a 1-byte logical address after the devices report presence on the +bus. + +Software description: +--------------------- +There are 2 types of SLIMbus drivers: + +slim_controller represents a 'controller' for SLIMbus. This driver should +implement duties needed by the SoC (manager device, associated +interface device for monitoring the layers and reporting errors, default +framer device). + +slim_device represents the 'generic device/component' for SLIMbus, and a +slim_driver should implement driver for that slim_device. + +Device notifications to the driver: +----------------------------------- +Since SLIMbus devices have mechanisms for reporting their presence, the +framework allows drivers to bind when corresponding devices report their +presence on the bus. +However, it is possible that the driver needs to be probed +first so that it can enable corresponding SLIMbus device (e.g. power it up and/or +take it out of reset). To support that behavior, the framework allows drivers +to probe first as well (e.g. using standard DeviceTree compatibility field). +This creates the necessity for the driver to know when the device is functional +(i.e. reported present). device_up callback is used for that reason when the +device reports present and is assigned a logical address by the controller. + +Similarly, SLIMbus devices 'report absent' when they go down. A 'device_down' +callback notifies the driver when the device reports absent and its logical +address assignment is invalidated by the controller. + +Another notification "boot_device" is used to notify the slim_driver when +controller resets the bus. This notification allows the driver to take necessary +steps to boot the device so that it's functional after the bus has been reset. + +Driver and Controller APIs: +--------------------------- +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/slimbus.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/slimbus/slimbus.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/slimbus/core.c + :export: + +Clock-pause: +------------ +SLIMbus mandates that a reconfiguration sequence (known as clock-pause) be +broadcast to all active devices on the bus before the bus can enter low-power +mode.

Examples of this design can be found in the synchronization +mechanism (sync loss after two errors) and short CRCs used for the Bulk +Register Access. + +The errors can be detected with multiple mechanisms: + +1. Bus clash or parity errors: This mechanism relies on low-level detectors + that are independent of the payload and usages, and they cover both control + and audio data. The current implementation only logs such errors. + Improvements could be invalidating an entire programming sequence and + restarting from a known position. In the case of such errors outside of a + control/command sequence, there is no concealment or recovery for audio + data enabled by the SoundWire protocol, the location of the error will also + impact its audibility (most-significant bits will be more impacted in PCM), + and after a number of such errors are detected the bus might be reset. Note + that bus clashes due to programming errors (two streams using the same bit + slots) or electrical issues during the transmit/receive transition cannot + be distinguished, although a recurring bus clash when audio is enabled is a + indication of a bus allocation issue. The interrupt mechanism can also help + identify Slaves which detected a Bus Clash or a Parity Error, but they may + not be responsible for the errors so resetting them individually is not a + viable recovery strategy. + +2. Command status: Each command is associated with a status, which only + covers transmission of the data between devices. The ACK status indicates + that the command was received and will be executed by the end of the + current frame. A NAK indicates that the command was in error and will not + be applied. In case of a bad programming (command sent to non-existent + Slave or to a non-implemented register) or electrical issue, no response + signals the command was ignored. Some Master implementations allow for a + command to be retransmitted several times. If the retransmission fails, + backtracking and restarting the entire programming sequence might be a + solution. Alternatively some implementations might directly issue a bus + reset and re-enumerate all devices. + +3. Timeouts: In a number of cases such as ChannelPrepare or + ClockStopPrepare, the bus driver is supposed to poll a register field until + it transitions to a NotFinished value of zero. The MIPI SoundWire spec 1.1 + does not define timeouts but the MIPI SoundWire DisCo document adds + recommendation on timeouts. If such configurations do not complete, the + driver will return a -ETIMEOUT. Such timeouts are symptoms of a faulty + Slave device and are likely impossible to recover from. + +Errors during global reconfiguration sequences are extremely difficult to +handle: + +1. BankSwitch: An error during the last command issuing a BankSwitch is + difficult to backtrack from. Retransmitting the Bank Switch command may be + possible in a single segment setup, but this can lead to synchronization + problems when enabling multiple bus segments (a command with side effects + such as frame reconfiguration would be handled at different times). A global + hard-reset might be the best solution. + +Note that SoundWire does not provide a mechanism to detect illegal values +written in valid registers. In a number of cases the standard even mentions +that the Slave might behave in implementation-defined ways. The bus +implementation does not provide a recovery mechanism for such errors, Slave +or Master driver implementers are responsible for writing valid values in +valid registers and implement additional range checking if needed. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/soundwire/index.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/soundwire/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..234911a0d --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/soundwire/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,18 @@ +======================= +SoundWire Documentation +======================= + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 1 + + summary + stream + error_handling + locking + +.. only:: subproject and html + + Indices + ======= + + * :ref:`genindex` diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/soundwire/locking.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/soundwire/locking.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..3a7ffb3d8 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/soundwire/locking.rst @@ -0,0 +1,108 @@ +================= +SoundWire Locking +================= + +This document explains locking mechanism of the SoundWire Bus.

Such tests need to be added at the ALSA/ASoC +level. + +Stream State Operations +----------------------- + +Below section explains the operations done by the Bus on Master(s) and +Slave(s) as part of stream state transitions. + +SDW_STREAM_ALLOCATED +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Allocation state for stream. This is the entry state +of the stream. Operations performed before entering in this state: + + (1) A stream runtime is allocated for the stream. This stream + runtime is used as a reference for all the operations performed + on the stream. + + (2) The resources required for holding stream runtime information are + allocated and initialized. This holds all stream related information + such as stream type (PCM/PDM) and parameters, Master and Slave + interface associated with the stream, stream state etc. + +After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to +``SDW_STREAM_ALLOCATED``. + +Bus implements below API for allocate a stream which needs to be called once +per stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state maybe linked to +.startup() operation. + +.. code-block:: c + + int sdw_alloc_stream(char * stream_name); + +The SoundWire core provides a sdw_startup_stream() helper function, +typically called during a dailink .startup() callback, which performs +stream allocation and sets the stream pointer for all DAIs +connected to a stream. + +SDW_STREAM_CONFIGURED +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Configuration state of stream. Operations performed before entering in +this state: + + (1) The resources allocated for stream information in SDW_STREAM_ALLOCATED + state are updated here. This includes stream parameters, Master(s) + and Slave(s) runtime information associated with current stream. + + (2) All the Master(s) and Slave(s) associated with current stream provide + the port information to Bus which includes port numbers allocated by + Master(s) and Slave(s) for current stream and their channel mask. + +After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to +``SDW_STREAM_CONFIGURED``. + +Bus implements below APIs for CONFIG state which needs to be called by +the respective Master(s) and Slave(s) associated with stream. These APIs can +only be invoked once by respective Master(s) and Slave(s). From ASoC DPCM +framework, this stream state is linked to .hw_params() operation. + +.. code-block:: c + + int sdw_stream_add_master(struct sdw_bus * bus, + struct sdw_stream_config * stream_config, + struct sdw_ports_config * ports_config, + struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + + int sdw_stream_add_slave(struct sdw_slave * slave, + struct sdw_stream_config * stream_config, + struct sdw_ports_config * ports_config, + struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + + +SDW_STREAM_PREPARED +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Prepare state of stream. Operations performed before entering in this state: + + (0) Steps 1 and 2 are omitted in the case of a resume operation, + where the bus bandwidth is known. + + (1) Bus parameters such as bandwidth, frame shape, clock frequency, + are computed based on current stream as well as already active + stream(s) on Bus. Re-computation is required to accommodate current + stream on the Bus. + + (2) Transport and port parameters of all Master(s) and Slave(s) port(s) are + computed for the current as well as already active stream based on frame + shape and clock frequency computed in step 1. + + (3) Computed Bus and transport parameters are programmed in Master(s) and + Slave(s) registers. The banked registers programming is done on the + alternate bank (bank currently unused). Port(s) are enabled for the + already active stream(s) on the alternate bank (bank currently unused). + This is done in order to not disrupt already active stream(s). + + (4) Once all the values are programmed, Bus initiates switch to alternate + bank where all new values programmed gets into effect. + + (5) Ports of Master(s) and Slave(s) for current stream are prepared by + programming PrepareCtrl register. + +After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to +``SDW_STREAM_PREPARED``. + +Bus implements below API for PREPARE state which needs to be called +once per stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state is linked +to .prepare() operation. Since the .trigger() operations may not +follow the .prepare(), a direct transition from +``SDW_STREAM_PREPARED`` to ``SDW_STREAM_DEPREPARED`` is allowed. + +.. code-block:: c + + int sdw_prepare_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + + +SDW_STREAM_ENABLED +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Enable state of stream. The data port(s) are enabled upon entering this state. +Operations performed before entering in this state: + + (1) All the values computed in SDW_STREAM_PREPARED state are programmed + in alternate bank (bank currently unused). It includes programming of + already active stream(s) as well. + + (2) All the Master(s) and Slave(s) port(s) for the current stream are + enabled on alternate bank (bank currently unused) by programming + ChannelEn register. + + (3) Once all the values are programmed, Bus initiates switch to alternate + bank where all new values programmed gets into effect and port(s) + associated with current stream are enabled. + +After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to +``SDW_STREAM_ENABLED``. + +Bus implements below API for ENABLE state which needs to be called once per +stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state is linked to +.trigger() start operation. + +.. code-block:: c + + int sdw_enable_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + +SDW_STREAM_DISABLED +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Disable state of stream. The data port(s) are disabled upon exiting this state. +Operations performed before entering in this state: + + (1) All the Master(s) and Slave(s) port(s) for the current stream are + disabled on alternate bank (bank currently unused) by programming + ChannelEn register. + + (2) All the current configuration of Bus and active stream(s) are programmed + into alternate bank (bank currently unused). + + (3) Once all the values are programmed, Bus initiates switch to alternate + bank where all new values programmed gets into effect and port(s) associated + with current stream are disabled. + +After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to +``SDW_STREAM_DISABLED``. + +Bus implements below API for DISABLED state which needs to be called once +per stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state is linked to +.trigger() stop operation. + +When the INFO_PAUSE flag is supported, a direct transition to +``SDW_STREAM_ENABLED`` is allowed. + +For resume operations where ASoC will use the .prepare() callback, the +stream can transition from ``SDW_STREAM_DISABLED`` to +``SDW_STREAM_PREPARED``, with all required settings restored but +without updating the bandwidth and bit allocation. + +.. code-block:: c + + int sdw_disable_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + + +SDW_STREAM_DEPREPARED +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +De-prepare state of stream. Operations performed before entering in this +state: + + (1) All the port(s) of Master(s) and Slave(s) for current stream are + de-prepared by programming PrepareCtrl register. + + (2) The payload bandwidth of current stream is reduced from the total + bandwidth requirement of bus and new parameters calculated and + applied by performing bank switch etc. + +After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to +``SDW_STREAM_DEPREPARED``. + +Bus implements below API for DEPREPARED state which needs to be called +once per stream. ALSA/ASoC do not have a concept of 'deprepare', and +the mapping from this stream state to ALSA/ASoC operation may be +implementation specific. + +When the INFO_PAUSE flag is supported, the stream state is linked to +the .hw_free() operation - the stream is not deprepared on a +TRIGGER_STOP. + +Other implementations may transition to the ``SDW_STREAM_DEPREPARED`` +state on TRIGGER_STOP, should they require a transition through the +``SDW_STREAM_PREPARED`` state. + +.. code-block:: c + + int sdw_deprepare_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + + +SDW_STREAM_RELEASED +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Release state of stream. Operations performed before entering in this state: + + (1) Release port resources for all Master(s) and Slave(s) port(s) + associated with current stream. + + (2) Release Master(s) and Slave(s) runtime resources associated with + current stream. + + (3) Release stream runtime resources associated with current stream. + +After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to +``SDW_STREAM_RELEASED``. + +Bus implements below APIs for RELEASE state which needs to be called by +all the Master(s) and Slave(s) associated with stream. From ASoC DPCM +framework, this stream state is linked to .hw_free() operation. + +.. code-block:: c + + int sdw_stream_remove_master(struct sdw_bus * bus, + struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + int sdw_stream_remove_slave(struct sdw_slave * slave, + struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + + +The .shutdown() ASoC DPCM operation calls below Bus API to release +stream assigned as part of ALLOCATED state. + +In .shutdown() the data structure maintaining stream state are freed up. + +.. code-block:: c + + void sdw_release_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + +The SoundWire core provides a sdw_shutdown_stream() helper function, +typically called during a dailink .shutdown() callback, which clears +the stream pointer for all DAIS connected to a stream and releases the +memory allocated for the stream. + +Not Supported +============= + +1.

SoundWire interface is optimized to integrate audio devices in +mobile or mobile inspired systems. + +SoundWire is a 2-pin multi-drop interface with data and clock line. It +facilitates development of low cost, efficient, high performance systems. +Broad level key features of SoundWire interface include: + + (1) Transporting all of payload data channels, control information, and setup + commands over a single two-pin interface. + + (2) Lower clock frequency, and hence lower power consumption, by use of DDR + (Dual Data Rate) data transmission. + + (3) Clock scaling and optional multiple data lanes to give wide flexibility + in data rate to match system requirements. + + (4) Device status monitoring, including interrupt-style alerts to the Master. + +The SoundWire protocol supports up to eleven Slave interfaces. All the +interfaces share the common Bus containing data and clock line. Each of the +Slaves can support up to 14 Data Ports. 13 Data Ports are dedicated to audio +transport. Data Port0 is dedicated to transport of Bulk control information, +each of the audio Data Ports (1..14) can support up to 8 Channels in +transmit or receiving mode (typically fixed direction but configurable +direction is enabled by the specification). Bandwidth restrictions to +~19.2..24.576Mbits/s don't however allow for 11*13*8 channels to be +transmitted simultaneously. + +Below figure shows an example of connectivity between a SoundWire Master and +two Slave devices. :: + + +---------------+ +---------------+ + | | Clock Signal | | + | Master |-------+-------------------------------| Slave | + | Interface | | Data Signal | Interface 1 | + | |-------|-------+-----------------------| | + +---------------+ | | +---------------+ + | | + | | + | | + +--+-------+--+ + | | + | Slave | + | Interface 2 | + | | + +-------------+ + + +Terminology +=========== + +The MIPI SoundWire specification uses the term 'device' to refer to a Master +or Slave interface, which of course can be confusing. In this summary and +code we use the term interface only to refer to the hardware. We follow the +Linux device model by mapping each Slave interface connected on the bus as a +device managed by a specific driver. The Linux SoundWire subsystem provides +a framework to implement a SoundWire Slave driver with an API allowing +3rd-party vendors to enable implementation-defined functionality while +common setup/configuration tasks are handled by the bus. + +Bus: +Implements SoundWire Linux Bus which handles the SoundWire protocol. +Programs all the MIPI-defined Slave registers. Represents a SoundWire +Master. Multiple instances of Bus may be present in a system. + +Slave: +Registers as SoundWire Slave device (Linux Device). Multiple Slave devices +can register to a Bus instance. + +Slave driver: +Driver controlling the Slave device. MIPI-specified registers are controlled +directly by the Bus (and transmitted through the Master driver/interface). +Any implementation-defined Slave register is controlled by Slave driver. In +practice, it is expected that the Slave driver relies on regmap and does not +request direct register access. + +Programming interfaces (SoundWire Master interface Driver) +========================================================== + +SoundWire Bus supports programming interfaces for the SoundWire Master +implementation and SoundWire Slave devices. All the code uses the "sdw" +prefix commonly used by SoC designers and 3rd party vendors. + +Each of the SoundWire Master interfaces needs to be registered to the Bus. +Bus implements API to read standard Master MIPI properties and also provides +callback in Master ops for Master driver to implement its own functions that +provides capabilities information. DT support is not implemented at this +time but should be trivial to add since capabilities are enabled with the +``device_property_`` API. + +The Master interface along with the Master interface capabilities are +registered based on board file, DT or ACPI. + +Following is the Bus API to register the SoundWire Bus: + +.. code-block:: c + + int sdw_bus_master_add(struct sdw_bus *bus, + struct device *parent, + struct fwnode_handle) + { + sdw_master_device_add(bus, parent, fwnode); + + mutex_init(&bus->lock); + INIT_LIST_HEAD(&bus->slaves); + + /* Check ACPI for Slave devices */ + sdw_acpi_find_slaves(bus); + + /* Check DT for Slave devices */ + sdw_of_find_slaves(bus); + + return 0; + } + +This will initialize sdw_bus object for Master device. "sdw_master_ops" and +"sdw_master_port_ops" callback functions are provided to the Bus. + +"sdw_master_ops" is used by Bus to control the Bus in the hardware specific +way. It includes Bus control functions such as sending the SoundWire +read/write messages on Bus, setting up clock frequency & Stream +Synchronization Point (SSP). The "sdw_master_ops" structure abstracts the +hardware details of the Master from the Bus. + +"sdw_master_port_ops" is used by Bus to setup the Port parameters of the +Master interface Port. Master interface Port register map is not defined by +MIPI specification, so Bus calls the "sdw_master_port_ops" callback +function to do Port operations like "Port Prepare", "Port Transport params +set", "Port enable and disable". The implementation of the Master driver can +then perform hardware-specific configurations. + +Programming interfaces (SoundWire Slave Driver) +=============================================== + +The MIPI specification requires each Slave interface to expose a unique +48-bit identifier, stored in 6 read-only dev_id registers. This dev_id +identifier contains vendor and part information, as well as a field enabling +to differentiate between identical components. An additional class field is +currently unused. Slave driver is written for a specific vendor and part +identifier, Bus enumerates the Slave device based on these two ids. +Slave device and driver match is done based on these two ids . Probe +of the Slave driver is called by Bus on successful match between device and +driver id. A parent/child relationship is enforced between Master and Slave +devices (the logical representation is aligned with the physical +connectivity). + +The information on Master/Slave dependencies is stored in platform data, +board-file, ACPI or DT. The MIPI Software specification defines additional +link_id parameters for controllers that have multiple Master interfaces. The +dev_id registers are only unique in the scope of a link, and the link_id +unique in the scope of a controller. Both dev_id and link_id are not +necessarily unique at the system level but the parent/child information is +used to avoid ambiguity. + +.. code-block:: c + + static const struct sdw_device_id slave_id[] = { + SDW_SLAVE_ENTRY(0x025d, 0x700, 0), + {}, + }; + MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(sdw, slave_id); + + static struct sdw_driver slave_sdw_driver = { + .driver = { + .name = "slave_xxx", + .pm = &slave_runtime_pm, + }, + .probe = slave_sdw_probe, + .remove = slave_sdw_remove, + .ops = &slave_slave_ops, + .id_table = slave_id, + }; + + +For capabilities, Bus implements API to read standard Slave MIPI properties +and also provides callback in Slave ops for Slave driver to implement own +function that provides capabilities information. Bus needs to know a set of +Slave capabilities to program Slave registers and to control the Bus +reconfigurations. + +Future enhancements to be done +============================== + + (1) Bulk Register Access (BRA) transfers. + + + (2) Multiple data lane support. + +Links +===== + +SoundWire MIPI specification 1.1 is available at: +https://members.mipi.org/wg/All-Members/document/70290 + +SoundWire MIPI DisCo (Discovery and Configuration) specification is +available at: +https://www.mipi.org/specifications/mipi-disco-soundwire + +(publicly accessible with registration or directly accessible to MIPI +members) + +MIPI Alliance Manufacturer ID Page: mid.mipi.org diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/spi.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/spi.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..f28887045 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/spi.rst @@ -0,0 +1,53 @@ +Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) +================================= + +SPI is the "Serial Peripheral Interface", widely used with embedded +systems because it is a simple and efficient interface: basically a +multiplexed shift register. Its three signal wires hold a clock (SCK, +often in the range of 1-20 MHz), a "Master Out, Slave In" (MOSI) data +line, and a "Master In, Slave Out" (MISO) data line. SPI is a full +duplex protocol; for each bit shifted out the MOSI line (one per clock) +another is shifted in on the MISO line. Those bits are assembled into +words of various sizes on the way to and from system memory. An +additional chipselect line is usually active-low (nCS); four signals are +normally used for each peripheral, plus sometimes an interrupt. + +The SPI bus facilities listed here provide a generalized interface to +declare SPI busses and devices, manage them according to the standard +Linux driver model, and perform input/output operations. At this time, +only "master" side interfaces are supported, where Linux talks to SPI +peripherals and does not implement such a peripheral itself. (Interfaces +to support implementing SPI slaves would necessarily look different.) + +The programming interface is structured around two kinds of driver, and +two kinds of device. A "Controller Driver" abstracts the controller +hardware, which may be as simple as a set of GPIO pins or as complex as +a pair of FIFOs connected to dual DMA engines on the other side of the +SPI shift register (maximizing throughput). Such drivers bridge between +whatever bus they sit on (often the platform bus) and SPI, and expose +the SPI side of their device as a :c:type:`struct spi_controller +<spi_controller>`. SPI devices are children of that master, +represented as a :c:type:`struct spi_device <spi_device>` and +manufactured from :c:type:`struct spi_board_info +<spi_board_info>` descriptors which are usually provided by +board-specific initialization code. A :c:type:`struct spi_driver +<spi_driver>` is called a "Protocol Driver", and is bound to a +spi_device using normal driver model calls. + +The I/O model is a set of queued messages. Protocol drivers submit one +or more :c:type:`struct spi_message <spi_message>` objects, +which are processed and completed asynchronously. (There are synchronous +wrappers, however.) Messages are built from one or more +:c:type:`struct spi_transfer <spi_transfer>` objects, each of +which wraps a full duplex SPI transfer.

We specifically +differentiate between devices that are presented to the system via one of +the conventional ways, e.g. as platform devices via ACPI, and devices that +are non-discoverable and instead need to be explicitly provided by some +other mechanism, as discussed further below. + + +Non-SSAM Client Drivers +======================= + +All communication with the SAM EC is handled via the |ssam_controller| +representing that EC to the kernel. Drivers targeting a non-SSAM device (and +thus not being a |ssam_device_driver|) need to explicitly establish a +connection/relation to that controller. This can be done via the +|ssam_client_bind| function. Said function returns a reference to the SSAM +controller, but, more importantly, also establishes a device link between +client device and controller (this can also be done separate via +|ssam_client_link|). It is important to do this, as it, first, guarantees +that the returned controller is valid for use in the client driver for as +long as this driver is bound to its device, i.e. that the driver gets +unbound before the controller ever becomes invalid, and, second, as it +ensures correct suspend/resume ordering. This setup should be done in the +driver's probe function, and may be used to defer probing in case the SSAM +subsystem is not ready yet, for example: + +.. code-block:: c + + static int client_driver_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + struct ssam_controller *ctrl; + + ctrl = ssam_client_bind(&pdev->dev); + if (IS_ERR(ctrl)) + return PTR_ERR(ctrl) == -ENODEV ? -EPROBE_DEFER : PTR_ERR(ctrl); + + // ... + + return 0; + } + +The controller may be separately obtained via |ssam_get_controller| and its +lifetime be guaranteed via |ssam_controller_get| and |ssam_controller_put|. +Note that none of these functions, however, guarantee that the controller +will not be shut down or suspended. These functions essentially only operate +on the reference, i.e. only guarantee a bare minimum of accessibility +without any guarantees at all on practical operability. + + +Adding SSAM Devices +=================== + +If a device does not already exist/is not already provided via conventional +means, it should be provided as |ssam_device| via the SSAM client device +hub. New devices can be added to this hub by entering their UID into the +corresponding registry. SSAM devices can also be manually allocated via +|ssam_device_alloc|, subsequently to which they have to be added via +|ssam_device_add| and eventually removed via |ssam_device_remove|. By +default, the parent of the device is set to the controller device provided +for allocation, however this may be changed before the device is added. Note +that, when changing the parent device, care must be taken to ensure that the +controller lifetime and suspend/resume ordering guarantees, in the default +setup provided through the parent-child relation, are preserved. If +necessary, by use of |ssam_client_link| as is done for non-SSAM client +drivers and described in more detail above. + +A client device must always be removed by the party which added the +respective device before the controller shuts down. Such removal can be +guaranteed by linking the driver providing the SSAM device to the controller +via |ssam_client_link|, causing it to unbind before the controller driver +unbinds. Client devices registered with the controller as parent are +automatically removed when the controller shuts down, but this should not be +relied upon, especially as this does not extend to client devices with a +different parent. + + +SSAM Client Drivers +=================== + +SSAM client device drivers are, in essence, no different than other device +driver types. They are represented via |ssam_device_driver| and bind to a +|ssam_device| via its UID (:c:type:`struct ssam_device.uid <ssam_device>`) +member and the match table +(:c:type:`struct ssam_device_driver.match_table <ssam_device_driver>`), +which should be set when declaring the driver struct instance. Refer to the +|SSAM_DEVICE| macro documentation for more details on how to define members +of the driver's match table. + +The UID for SSAM client devices consists of a ``domain``, a ``category``, +a ``target``, an ``instance``, and a ``function``. The ``domain`` is used +differentiate between physical SAM devices +(:c:type:`SSAM_DOMAIN_SERIALHUB <ssam_device_domain>`), i.e. devices that can +be accessed via the Surface Serial Hub, and virtual ones +(:c:type:`SSAM_DOMAIN_VIRTUAL <ssam_device_domain>`), such as client-device +hubs, that have no real representation on the SAM EC and are solely used on +the kernel/driver-side. For physical devices, ``category`` represents the +target category, ``target`` the target ID, and ``instance`` the instance ID +used to access the physical SAM device. In addition, ``function`` references +a specific device functionality, but has no meaning to the SAM EC. The +(default) name of a client device is generated based on its UID. + +A driver instance can be registered via |ssam_device_driver_register| and +unregistered via |ssam_device_driver_unregister|. For convenience, the +|module_ssam_device_driver| macro may be used to define module init- and +exit-functions registering the driver. + +The controller associated with a SSAM client device can be found in its +:c:type:`struct ssam_device.ctrl <ssam_device>` member. This reference is +guaranteed to be valid for at least as long as the client driver is bound, +but should also be valid for as long as the client device exists. Note, +however, that access outside of the bound client driver must ensure that the +controller device is not suspended while making any requests or +(un-)registering event notifiers (and thus should generally be avoided). This +is guaranteed when the controller is accessed from inside the bound client +driver. + + +Making Synchronous Requests +=========================== + +Synchronous requests are (currently) the main form of host-initiated +communication with the EC. There are a couple of ways to define and execute +such requests, however, most of them boil down to something similar as shown +in the example below. This example defines a write-read request, meaning +that the caller provides an argument to the SAM EC and receives a response. +The caller needs to know the (maximum) length of the response payload and +provide a buffer for it. + +Care must be taken to ensure that any command payload data passed to the SAM +EC is provided in little-endian format and, similarly, any response payload +data received from it is converted from little-endian to host endianness. + +.. code-block:: c + + int perform_request(struct ssam_controller *ctrl, u32 arg, u32 *ret) + { + struct ssam_request rqst; + struct ssam_response resp; + int status; + + /* Convert request argument to little-endian. */ + __le32 arg_le = cpu_to_le32(arg); + __le32 ret_le = cpu_to_le32(0); + + /* + * Initialize request specification. Replace this with your values. + * The rqst.payload field may be NULL if rqst.length is zero, + * indicating that the request does not have any argument. + * + * Note: The request parameters used here are not valid, i.e. + * they do not correspond to an actual SAM/EC request. + */ + rqst.target_category = SSAM_SSH_TC_SAM; + rqst.target_id = 0x01; + rqst.command_id = 0x02; + rqst.instance_id = 0x03; + rqst.flags = SSAM_REQUEST_HAS_RESPONSE; + rqst.length = sizeof(arg_le); + rqst.payload = (u8 *)&arg_le; + + /* Initialize request response. */ + resp.capacity = sizeof(ret_le); + resp.length = 0; + resp.pointer = (u8 *)&ret_le; + + /* + * Perform actual request. The response pointer may be null in case + * the request does not have any response. This must be consistent + * with the SSAM_REQUEST_HAS_RESPONSE flag set in the specification + * above. + */ + status = ssam_request_sync(ctrl, &rqst, &resp); + + /* + * Alternatively use + * + * ssam_request_sync_onstack(ctrl, &rqst, &resp, sizeof(arg_le)); + * + * to perform the request, allocating the message buffer directly + * on the stack as opposed to allocation via kzalloc(). + */ + + /* + * Convert request response back to native format. Note that in the + * error case, this value is not touched by the SSAM core, i.e. + * 'ret_le' will be zero as specified in its initialization. + */ + *ret = le32_to_cpu(ret_le); + + return status; + } + +Note that |ssam_request_sync| in its essence is a wrapper over lower-level +request primitives, which may also be used to perform requests. Refer to its +implementation and documentation for more details. + +An arguably more user-friendly way of defining such functions is by using +one of the generator macros, for example via: + +.. code-block:: c + + SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_W(__ssam_tmp_perf_mode_set, __le32, { + .target_category = SSAM_SSH_TC_TMP, + .target_id = 0x01, + .command_id = 0x03, + .instance_id = 0x00, + }); + +This example defines a function + +.. code-block:: c + + static int __ssam_tmp_perf_mode_set(struct ssam_controller *ctrl, const __le32 *arg); + +executing the specified request, with the controller passed in when calling +said function. In this example, the argument is provided via the ``arg`` +pointer. Note that the generated function allocates the message buffer on +the stack. Thus, if the argument provided via the request is large, these +kinds of macros should be avoided. Also note that, in contrast to the +previous non-macro example, this function does not do any endianness +conversion, which has to be handled by the caller. Apart from those +differences the function generated by the macro is similar to the one +provided in the non-macro example above. + +The full list of such function-generating macros is + +- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_N` for requests without return value and + without argument. +- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_R` for requests with return value but no + argument. +- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_W` for requests without return value but + with argument. + +Refer to their respective documentation for more details. For each one of +these macros, a special variant is provided, which targets request types +applicable to multiple instances of the same device type: + +- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_MD_N` +- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_MD_R` +- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_MD_W` + +The difference of those macros to the previously mentioned versions is, that +the device target and instance IDs are not fixed for the generated function, +but instead have to be provided by the caller of said function. + +Additionally, variants for direct use with client devices, i.e. +|ssam_device|, are also provided. These can, for example, be used as +follows: + +.. code-block:: c + + SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_CL_R(ssam_bat_get_sta, __le32, { + .target_category = SSAM_SSH_TC_BAT, + .command_id = 0x01, + }); + +This invocation of the macro defines a function + +.. code-block:: c + + static int ssam_bat_get_sta(struct ssam_device *sdev, __le32 *ret); + +executing the specified request, using the device IDs and controller given +in the client device. The full list of such macros for client devices is: + +- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_CL_N` +- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_CL_R` +- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_CL_W` + + +Handling Events +=============== + +To receive events from the SAM EC, an event notifier must be registered for +the desired event via |ssam_notifier_register|. The notifier must be +unregistered via |ssam_notifier_unregister| once it is not required any +more. For |ssam_device| type clients, the |ssam_device_notifier_register| and +|ssam_device_notifier_unregister| wrappers should be preferred as they properly +handle hot-removal of client devices. + +Event notifiers are registered by providing (at minimum) a callback to call +in case an event has been received, the registry specifying how the event +should be enabled, an event ID specifying for which target category and, +optionally and depending on the registry used, for which instance ID events +should be enabled, and finally, flags describing how the EC will send these +events. If the specific registry does not enable events by instance ID, the +instance ID must be set to zero. Additionally, a priority for the respective +notifier may be specified, which determines its order in relation to any +other notifier registered for the same target category. + +By default, event notifiers will receive all events for the specific target +category, regardless of the instance ID specified when registering the +notifier. The core may be instructed to only call a notifier if the target +ID or instance ID (or both) of the event match the ones implied by the +notifier IDs (in case of target ID, the target ID of the registry), by +providing an event mask (see |ssam_event_mask|). + +In general, the target ID of the registry is also the target ID of the +enabled event (with the notable exception being keyboard input events on the +Surface Laptop 1 and 2, which are enabled via a registry with target ID 1, +but provide events with target ID 2). + +A full example for registering an event notifier and handling received +events is provided below: + +.. code-block:: c + + u32 notifier_callback(struct ssam_event_notifier *nf, + const struct ssam_event *event) + { + int status = ... + + /* Handle the event here ... */ + + /* Convert return value and indicate that we handled the event. */ + return ssam_notifier_from_errno(status) | SSAM_NOTIF_HANDLED; + } + + int setup_notifier(struct ssam_device *sdev, + struct ssam_event_notifier *nf) + { + /* Set priority wrt. other handlers of same target category. */ + nf->base.priority = 1; + + /* Set event/notifier callback. */ + nf->base.fn = notifier_callback; + + /* Specify event registry, i.e. how events get enabled/disabled. */ + nf->event.reg = SSAM_EVENT_REGISTRY_KIP; + + /* Specify which event to enable/disable */ + nf->event.id.target_category = sdev->uid.category; + nf->event.id.instance = sdev->uid.instance; + + /* + * Specify for which events the notifier callback gets executed. + * This essentially tells the core if it can skip notifiers that + * don't have target or instance IDs matching those of the event. + */ + nf->event.mask = SSAM_EVENT_MASK_STRICT; + + /* Specify event flags. */ + nf->event.flags = SSAM_EVENT_SEQUENCED; + + return ssam_notifier_register(sdev->ctrl, nf); + } + +Multiple event notifiers can be registered for the same event. The event +handler core takes care of enabling and disabling events when notifiers are +registered and unregistered, by keeping track of how many notifiers for a +specific event (combination of registry, event target category, and event +instance ID) are currently registered. This means that a specific event will +be enabled when the first notifier for it is being registered and disabled +when the last notifier for it is being unregistered. Note that the event +flags are therefore only used on the first registered notifier, however, one +should take care that notifiers for a specific event are always registered +with the same flag and it is considered a bug to do otherwise. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/surface_aggregator/clients/cdev.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/surface_aggregator/clients/cdev.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..0134a841a --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/surface_aggregator/clients/cdev.rst @@ -0,0 +1,204 @@ +..

It is intended to be used for development and debugging, and +therefore should not be used or relied upon in any other way. Note that this +module is not loaded automatically, but instead must be loaded manually. + +The provided interface is accessible through the ``/dev/surface/aggregator`` +device-file. All functionality of this interface is provided via IOCTLs. +These IOCTLs and their respective input/output parameter structs are defined in +``include/uapi/linux/surface_aggregator/cdev.h``. + +A small python library and scripts for accessing this interface can be found +at https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-aggregator-module/tree/master/scripts/ssam. + +.. contents:: + + +Receiving Events +================ + +Events can be received by reading from the device-file. The are represented by +the |ssam_cdev_event| datatype. + +Before events are available to be read, however, the desired notifiers must be +registered via the ``SSAM_CDEV_NOTIF_REGISTER`` IOCTL. Notifiers are, in +essence, callbacks, called when the EC sends an event. They are, in this +interface, associated with a specific target category and device-file-instance. +They forward any event of this category to the buffer of the corresponding +instance, from which it can then be read. + +Notifiers themselves do not enable events on the EC. Thus, it may additionally +be necessary to enable events via the ``SSAM_CDEV_EVENT_ENABLE`` IOCTL. While +notifiers work per-client (i.e. per-device-file-instance), events are enabled +globally, for the EC and all of its clients (regardless of userspace or +non-userspace). The ``SSAM_CDEV_EVENT_ENABLE`` and ``SSAM_CDEV_EVENT_DISABLE`` +IOCTLs take care of reference counting the events, such that an event is +enabled as long as there is a client that has requested it. + +Note that enabled events are not automatically disabled once the client +instance is closed. Therefore any client process (or group of processes) should +balance their event enable calls with the corresponding event disable calls. It +is, however, perfectly valid to enable and disable events on different client +instances. For example, it is valid to set up notifiers and read events on +client instance ``A``, enable those events on instance ``B`` (note that these +will also be received by A since events are enabled/disabled globally), and +after no more events are desired, disable the previously enabled events via +instance ``C``. + + +Controller IOCTLs +================= + +The following IOCTLs are provided: + +.. flat-table:: Controller IOCTLs + :widths: 1 1 1 1 4 + :header-rows: 1 + + * - Type + - Number + - Direction + - Name + - Description + + * - ``0xA5`` + - ``1`` + - ``WR`` + - ``REQUEST`` + - Perform synchronous SAM request. + + * - ``0xA5`` + - ``2`` + - ``W`` + - ``NOTIF_REGISTER`` + - Register event notifier. + + * - ``0xA5`` + - ``3`` + - ``W`` + - ``NOTIF_UNREGISTER`` + - Unregister event notifier. + + * - ``0xA5`` + - ``4`` + - ``W`` + - ``EVENT_ENABLE`` + - Enable event source. + + * - ``0xA5`` + - ``5`` + - ``W`` + - ``EVENT_DISABLE`` + - Disable event source. + + +``SSAM_CDEV_REQUEST`` +--------------------- + +Defined as ``_IOWR(0xA5, 1, struct ssam_cdev_request)``. + +Executes a synchronous SAM request. The request specification is passed in +as argument of type |ssam_cdev_request|, which is then written to/modified +by the IOCTL to return status and result of the request. + +Request payload data must be allocated separately and is passed in via the +``payload.data`` and ``payload.length`` members. If a response is required, +the response buffer must be allocated by the caller and passed in via the +``response.data`` member. The ``response.length`` member must be set to the +capacity of this buffer, or if no response is required, zero. Upon +completion of the request, the call will write the response to the response +buffer (if its capacity allows it) and overwrite the length field with the +actual size of the response, in bytes. + +Additionally, if the request has a response, this must be indicated via the +request flags, as is done with in-kernel requests. Request flags can be set +via the ``flags`` member and the values correspond to the values found in +|ssam_cdev_request_flags|. + +Finally, the status of the request itself is returned in the ``status`` +member (a negative errno value indicating failure). Note that failure +indication of the IOCTL is separated from failure indication of the request: +The IOCTL returns a negative status code if anything failed during setup of +the request (``-EFAULT``) or if the provided argument or any of its fields +are invalid (``-EINVAL``). In this case, the status value of the request +argument may be set, providing more detail on what went wrong (e.g. +``-ENOMEM`` for out-of-memory), but this value may also be zero. The IOCTL +will return with a zero status code in case the request has been set up, +submitted, and completed (i.e. handed back to user-space) successfully from +inside the IOCTL, but the request ``status`` member may still be negative in +case the actual execution of the request failed after it has been submitted. + +A full definition of the argument struct is provided below. + +``SSAM_CDEV_NOTIF_REGISTER`` +---------------------------- + +Defined as ``_IOW(0xA5, 2, struct ssam_cdev_notifier_desc)``. + +Register a notifier for the event target category specified in the given +notifier description with the specified priority. Notifiers registration is +required to receive events, but does not enable events themselves. After a +notifier for a specific target category has been registered, all events of that +category will be forwarded to the userspace client and can then be read from +the device file instance. Note that events may have to be enabled, e.g. via the +``SSAM_CDEV_EVENT_ENABLE`` IOCTL, before the EC will send them. + +Only one notifier can be registered per target category and client instance. If +a notifier has already been registered, this IOCTL will fail with ``-EEXIST``. + +Notifiers will automatically be removed when the device file instance is +closed. + +``SSAM_CDEV_NOTIF_UNREGISTER`` +------------------------------ + +Defined as ``_IOW(0xA5, 3, struct ssam_cdev_notifier_desc)``. + +Unregisters the notifier associated with the specified target category.

If no notifier has been +registered for this client instance and the given category, this IOCTL will +fail with ``-ENOENT``. + +``SSAM_CDEV_EVENT_ENABLE`` +-------------------------- + +Defined as ``_IOW(0xA5, 4, struct ssam_cdev_event_desc)``. + +Enable the event associated with the given event descriptor. + +Note that this call will not register a notifier itself, it will only enable +events on the controller. If you want to receive events by reading from the +device file, you will need to register the corresponding notifier(s) on that +instance. + +Events are not automatically disabled when the device file is closed. This must +be done manually, via a call to the ``SSAM_CDEV_EVENT_DISABLE`` IOCTL. + +``SSAM_CDEV_EVENT_DISABLE`` +--------------------------- + +Defined as ``_IOW(0xA5, 5, struct ssam_cdev_event_desc)``. + +Disable the event associated with the given event descriptor. + +Note that this will not unregister any notifiers.

This +daemon is then ultimately responsible for determining and taking necessary +actions, such as unmounting devices attached to the base, +unloading/reloading the graphics-driver, user-notifications, etc. + +There are two basic communication principles used in this driver: Commands +(in other parts of the documentation also referred to as requests) and +events.

In the +*closed* state (default), the clipboard is secured to the base, whereas in +the *open* state, the clipboard can be removed by a user. + +The latch can additionally be locked and, correspondingly, unlocked, which +can influence the detachment procedure. Specifically, this locking mechanism +is intended to prevent the dGPU, positioned in the base of the device, from +being hot-unplugged while in use. More details can be found in the +documentation for the detachment procedure below. By default, the latch is +unlocked. + +Detachment Procedure +-------------------- + +Note that the detachment process is governed fully by the EC. The +``surface_dtx`` driver only relays events from the EC to user-space and +commands from user-space to the EC, i.e. it does not influence this process. + +The detachment process is started with the user pressing the *detach* button +on the base of the device or executing the ``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_REQUEST`` IOCTL. +Following that: + +1. The EC turns on the indicator led on the detach-button, sends a + *detach-request* event (``SDTX_EVENT_REQUEST``), and awaits further + instructions/commands. In case the latch is unlocked, the led will flash + green. If the latch has been locked, the led will be solid red + +2. The event is, via the ``surface_dtx`` driver, relayed to user-space, where + an appropriate user-space daemon can handle it and send instructions back + to the EC via IOCTLs provided by this driver. + +3. The EC waits for instructions from user-space and acts according to them. + If the EC does not receive any instructions in a given period, it will + time out and continue as follows: + + - If the latch is unlocked, the EC will open the latch and the clipboard + can be detached from the base. This is the exact behavior as without + this driver or any user-space daemon. See the ``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_CONFIRM`` + description below for more details on the follow-up behavior of the EC. + + - If the latch is locked, the EC will *not* open the latch, meaning the + clipboard cannot be detached from the base. Furthermore, the EC sends + an cancel event (``SDTX_EVENT_CANCEL``) detailing this with the cancel + reason ``SDTX_DETACH_TIMEDOUT`` (see :ref:`events` for details). + +Valid responses by a user-space daemon to a detachment request event are: + +- Execute ``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_REQUEST``. This will immediately abort the + detachment process. Furthermore, the EC will send a detach-request event, + similar to the user pressing the detach-button to cancel said process (see + below). + +- Execute ``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_CONFIRM``. This will cause the EC to open the + latch, after which the user can separate clipboard and base. + + As this changes the latch state, a *latch-status* event + (``SDTX_EVENT_LATCH_STATUS``) will be sent once the latch has been opened + successfully. If the EC fails to open the latch, e.g. due to hardware + error or low battery, a latch-cancel event (``SDTX_EVENT_CANCEL``) will be + sent with the cancel reason indicating the specific failure. + + If the latch is currently locked, the latch will automatically be + unlocked before it is opened. + +- Execute ``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_HEARTBEAT``. This will reset the internal timeout. + No other actions will be performed, i.e. the detachment process will neither + be completed nor canceled, and the EC will still be waiting for further + responses. + +- Execute ``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_CANCEL``. This will abort the detachment process, + similar to ``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_REQUEST``, described above, or the button + press, described below. A *generic request* event (``SDTX_EVENT_REQUEST``) + is send in response to this. In contrast to those, however, this command + does not trigger a new detachment process if none is currently in + progress. + +- Do nothing. The detachment process eventually times out as described in + point 3. + +See :ref:`ioctls` for more details on these responses. + +It is important to note that, if the user presses the detach button at any +point when a detachment operation is in progress (i.e. after the EC has sent +the initial *detach-request* event (``SDTX_EVENT_REQUEST``) and before it +received the corresponding response concluding the process), the detachment +process is canceled on the EC-level and an identical event is being sent. +Thus a *detach-request* event, by itself, does not signal the start of the +detachment process. + +The detachment process may further be canceled by the EC due to hardware +failures or a low clipboard battery. This is done via a cancel event +(``SDTX_EVENT_CANCEL``) with the corresponding cancel reason. + + +User-Space Interface Documentation +================================== + +Error Codes and Status Values +----------------------------- + +Error and status codes are divided into different categories, which can be +used to determine if the status code is an error, and, if it is, the +severity and type of that error.

For the API documentation, refer to: + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 2 + + internal-api + + +Overview +======== + +The SSAM core implementation is structured in layers, somewhat following the +SSH protocol structure: + +Lower-level packet transport is implemented in the *packet transport layer +(PTL)*, directly building on top of the serial device (serdev) +infrastructure of the kernel. As the name indicates, this layer deals with +the packet transport logic and handles things like packet validation, packet +acknowledgment (ACKing), packet (retransmission) timeouts, and relaying +packet payloads to higher-level layers. + +Above this sits the *request transport layer (RTL)*. This layer is centered +around command-type packet payloads, i.e. requests (sent from host to EC), +responses of the EC to those requests, and events (sent from EC to host). +It, specifically, distinguishes events from request responses, matches +responses to their corresponding requests, and implements request timeouts. + +The *controller* layer is building on top of this and essentially decides +how request responses and, especially, events are dealt with. It provides an +event notifier system, handles event activation/deactivation, provides a +workqueue for event and asynchronous request completion, and also manages +the message counters required for building command messages (``SEQ``, +``RQID``). This layer basically provides a fundamental interface to the SAM +EC for use in other kernel drivers. + +While the controller layer already provides an interface for other kernel +drivers, the client *bus* extends this interface to provide support for +native SSAM devices, i.e. devices that are not defined in ACPI and not +implemented as platform devices, via |ssam_device| and |ssam_device_driver| +simplify management of client devices and client drivers. + +Refer to Documentation/driver-api/surface_aggregator/client.rst for +documentation regarding the client device/driver API and interface options +for other kernel drivers. It is recommended to familiarize oneself with +that chapter and the Documentation/driver-api/surface_aggregator/ssh.rst +before continuing with the architectural overview below. + + +Packet Transport Layer +====================== + +The packet transport layer is represented via |ssh_ptl| and is structured +around the following key concepts: + +Packets +------- + +Packets are the fundamental transmission unit of the SSH protocol. They are +managed by the packet transport layer, which is essentially the lowest layer +of the driver and is built upon by other components of the SSAM core. +Packets to be transmitted by the SSAM core are represented via |ssh_packet| +(in contrast, packets received by the core do not have any specific +structure and are managed entirely via the raw |ssh_frame|). + +This structure contains the required fields to manage the packet inside the +transport layer, as well as a reference to the buffer containing the data to +be transmitted (i.e. the message wrapped in |ssh_frame|). Most notably, it +contains an internal reference count, which is used for managing its +lifetime (accessible via |ssh_packet_get| and |ssh_packet_put|). When this +counter reaches zero, the ``release()`` callback provided to the packet via +its |ssh_packet_ops| reference is executed, which may then deallocate the +packet or its enclosing structure (e.g. |ssh_request|). + +In addition to the ``release`` callback, the |ssh_packet_ops| reference also +provides a ``complete()`` callback, which is run once the packet has been +completed and provides the status of this completion, i.e. zero on success +or a negative errno value in case of an error. Once the packet has been +submitted to the packet transport layer, the ``complete()`` callback is +always guaranteed to be executed before the ``release()`` callback, i.e. the +packet will always be completed, either successfully, with an error, or due +to cancellation, before it will be released. + +The state of a packet is managed via its ``state`` flags +(|ssh_packet_flags|), which also contains the packet type. In particular, +the following bits are noteworthy: + +* ``SSH_PACKET_SF_LOCKED_BIT``: This bit is set when completion, either + through error or success, is imminent. It indicates that no further + references of the packet should be taken and any existing references + should be dropped as soon as possible. The process setting this bit is + responsible for removing any references to this packet from the packet + queue and pending set. + +* ``SSH_PACKET_SF_COMPLETED_BIT``: This bit is set by the process running the + ``complete()`` callback and is used to ensure that this callback only runs + once. + +* ``SSH_PACKET_SF_QUEUED_BIT``: This bit is set when the packet is queued on + the packet queue and cleared when it is dequeued. + +* ``SSH_PACKET_SF_PENDING_BIT``: This bit is set when the packet is added to + the pending set and cleared when it is removed from it. + +Packet Queue +------------ + +The packet queue is the first of the two fundamental collections in the +packet transport layer. It is a priority queue, with priority of the +respective packets based on the packet type (major) and number of tries +(minor). See |SSH_PACKET_PRIORITY| for more details on the priority value. + +All packets to be transmitted by the transport layer must be submitted to +this queue via |ssh_ptl_submit|. Note that this includes control packets +sent by the transport layer itself. Internally, data packets can be +re-submitted to this queue due to timeouts or NAK packets sent by the EC. + +Pending Set +----------- + +The pending set is the second of the two fundamental collections in the +packet transport layer. It stores references to packets that have already +been transmitted, but wait for acknowledgment (e.g. the corresponding ACK +packet) by the EC. + +Note that a packet may both be pending and queued if it has been +re-submitted due to a packet acknowledgment timeout or NAK. On such a +re-submission, packets are not removed from the pending set. + +Transmitter Thread +------------------ + +The transmitter thread is responsible for most of the actual work regarding +packet transmission. In each iteration, it (waits for and) checks if the +next packet on the queue (if any) can be transmitted and, if so, removes it +from the queue and increments its counter for the number of transmission +attempts, i.e. tries. If the packet is sequenced, i.e. requires an ACK by +the EC, the packet is added to the pending set. Next, the packet's data is +submitted to the serdev subsystem. In case of an error or timeout during +this submission, the packet is completed by the transmitter thread with the +status value of the callback set accordingly. In case the packet is +unsequenced, i.e. does not require an ACK by the EC, the packet is completed +with success on the transmitter thread. + +Transmission of sequenced packets is limited by the number of concurrently +pending packets, i.e. a limit on how many packets may be waiting for an ACK +from the EC in parallel. This limit is currently set to one (see +Documentation/driver-api/surface_aggregator/ssh.rst for the reasoning behind +this). Control packets (i.e. ACK and NAK) can always be transmitted. + +Receiver Thread +--------------- + +Any data received from the EC is put into a FIFO buffer for further +processing. This processing happens on the receiver thread. The receiver +thread parses and validates the received message into its |ssh_frame| and +corresponding payload. It prepares and submits the necessary ACK (and on +validation error or invalid data NAK) packets for the received messages. + +This thread also handles further processing, such as matching ACK messages +to the corresponding pending packet (via sequence ID) and completing it, as +well as initiating re-submission of all currently pending packets on +receival of a NAK message (re-submission in case of a NAK is similar to +re-submission due to timeout, see below for more details on that). Note that +the successful completion of a sequenced packet will always run on the +receiver thread (whereas any failure-indicating completion will run on the +process where the failure occurred). + +Any payload data is forwarded via a callback to the next upper layer, i.e. +the request transport layer. + +Timeout Reaper +-------------- + +The packet acknowledgment timeout is a per-packet timeout for sequenced +packets, started when the respective packet begins (re-)transmission (i.e. +this timeout is armed once per transmission attempt on the transmitter +thread). It is used to trigger re-submission or, when the number of tries +has been exceeded, cancellation of the packet in question. + +This timeout is handled via a dedicated reaper task, which is essentially a +work item (re-)scheduled to run when the next packet is set to time out. The +work item then checks the set of pending packets for any packets that have +exceeded the timeout and, if there are any remaining packets, re-schedules +itself to the next appropriate point in time. + +If a timeout has been detected by the reaper, the packet will either be +re-submitted if it still has some remaining tries left, or completed with +``-ETIMEDOUT`` as status if not. Note that re-submission, in this case and +triggered by receival of a NAK, means that the packet is added to the queue +with a now incremented number of tries, yielding a higher priority. The +timeout for the packet will be disabled until the next transmission attempt +and the packet remains on the pending set. + +Note that due to transmission and packet acknowledgment timeouts, the packet +transport layer is always guaranteed to make progress, if only through +timing out packets, and will never fully block. + +Concurrency and Locking +----------------------- + +There are two main locks in the packet transport layer: One guarding access +to the packet queue and one guarding access to the pending set. These +collections may only be accessed and modified under the respective lock. If +access to both collections is needed, the pending lock must be acquired +before the queue lock to avoid deadlocks. + +In addition to guarding the collections, after initial packet submission +certain packet fields may only be accessed under one of the locks. +Specifically, the packet priority must only be accessed while holding the +queue lock and the packet timestamp must only be accessed while holding the +pending lock. + +Other parts of the packet transport layer are guarded independently. State +flags are managed by atomic bit operations and, if necessary, memory +barriers. Modifications to the timeout reaper work item and expiration date +are guarded by their own lock. + +The reference of the packet to the packet transport layer (``ptl``) is +somewhat special. It is either set when the upper layer request is submitted +or, if there is none, when the packet is first submitted. After it is set, +it will not change its value. Functions that may run concurrently with +submission, i.e. cancellation, can not rely on the ``ptl`` reference to be +set. Access to it in these functions is guarded by ``READ_ONCE()``, whereas +setting ``ptl`` is equally guarded with ``WRITE_ONCE()`` for symmetry. + +Some packet fields may be read outside of the respective locks guarding +them, specifically priority and state for tracing. In those cases, proper +access is ensured by employing ``WRITE_ONCE()`` and ``READ_ONCE()``. Such +read-only access is only allowed when stale values are not critical. + +With respect to the interface for higher layers, packet submission +(|ssh_ptl_submit|), packet cancellation (|ssh_ptl_cancel|), data receival +(|ssh_ptl_rx_rcvbuf|), and layer shutdown (|ssh_ptl_shutdown|) may always be +executed concurrently with respect to each other. Note that packet +submission may not run concurrently with itself for the same packet. +Equally, shutdown and data receival may also not run concurrently with +themselves (but may run concurrently with each other). + + +Request Transport Layer +======================= + +The request transport layer is represented via |ssh_rtl| and builds on top +of the packet transport layer. It deals with requests, i.e. SSH packets sent +by the host containing a |ssh_command| as frame payload. This layer +separates responses to requests from events, which are also sent by the EC +via a |ssh_command| payload. While responses are handled in this layer, +events are relayed to the next upper layer, i.e. the controller layer, via +the corresponding callback. The request transport layer is structured around +the following key concepts: + +Request +------- + +Requests are packets with a command-type payload, sent from host to EC to +query data from or trigger an action on it (or both simultaneously). They +are represented by |ssh_request|, wrapping the underlying |ssh_packet| +storing its message data (i.e. SSH frame with command payload). Note that +all top-level representations, e.g. |ssam_request_sync| are built upon this +struct. + +As |ssh_request| extends |ssh_packet|, its lifetime is also managed by the +reference counter inside the packet struct (which can be accessed via +|ssh_request_get| and |ssh_request_put|). Once the counter reaches zero, the +``release()`` callback of the |ssh_request_ops| reference of the request is +called. + +Requests can have an optional response that is equally sent via a SSH +message with command-type payload (from EC to host). The party constructing +the request must know if a response is expected and mark this in the request +flags provided to |ssh_request_init|, so that the request transport layer +can wait for this response. + +Similar to |ssh_packet|, |ssh_request| also has a ``complete()`` callback +provided via its request ops reference and is guaranteed to be completed +before it is released once it has been submitted to the request transport +layer via |ssh_rtl_submit|. For a request without a response, successful +completion will occur once the underlying packet has been successfully +transmitted by the packet transport layer (i.e. from within the packet +completion callback). For a request with response, successful completion +will occur once the response has been received and matched to the request +via its request ID (which happens on the packet layer's data-received +callback running on the receiver thread). If the request is completed with +an error, the status value will be set to the corresponding (negative) errno +value. + +The state of a request is again managed via its ``state`` flags +(|ssh_request_flags|), which also encode the request type. In particular, +the following bits are noteworthy: + +* ``SSH_REQUEST_SF_LOCKED_BIT``: This bit is set when completion, either + through error or success, is imminent. It indicates that no further + references of the request should be taken and any existing references + should be dropped as soon as possible. The process setting this bit is + responsible for removing any references to this request from the request + queue and pending set. + +* ``SSH_REQUEST_SF_COMPLETED_BIT``: This bit is set by the process running the + ``complete()`` callback and is used to ensure that this callback only runs + once. + +* ``SSH_REQUEST_SF_QUEUED_BIT``: This bit is set when the request is queued on + the request queue and cleared when it is dequeued. + +* ``SSH_REQUEST_SF_PENDING_BIT``: This bit is set when the request is added to + the pending set and cleared when it is removed from it. + +Request Queue +------------- + +The request queue is the first of the two fundamental collections in the +request transport layer. In contrast to the packet queue of the packet +transport layer, it is not a priority queue and the simple first come first +serve principle applies. + +All requests to be transmitted by the request transport layer must be +submitted to this queue via |ssh_rtl_submit|. Once submitted, requests may +not be re-submitted, and will not be re-submitted automatically on timeout. +Instead, the request is completed with a timeout error. If desired, the +caller can create and submit a new request for another try, but it must not +submit the same request again. + +Pending Set +----------- + +The pending set is the second of the two fundamental collections in the +request transport layer. This collection stores references to all pending +requests, i.e. requests awaiting a response from the EC (similar to what the +pending set of the packet transport layer does for packets). + +Transmitter Task +---------------- + +The transmitter task is scheduled when a new request is available for +transmission. It checks if the next request on the request queue can be +transmitted and, if so, submits its underlying packet to the packet +transport layer. This check ensures that only a limited number of +requests can be pending, i.e. waiting for a response, at the same time. If +the request requires a response, the request is added to the pending set +before its packet is submitted. + +Packet Completion Callback +-------------------------- + +The packet completion callback is executed once the underlying packet of a +request has been completed. In case of an error completion, the +corresponding request is completed with the error value provided in this +callback. + +On successful packet completion, further processing depends on the request. +If the request expects a response, it is marked as transmitted and the +request timeout is started. If the request does not expect a response, it is +completed with success. + +Data-Received Callback +---------------------- + +The data received callback notifies the request transport layer of data +being received by the underlying packet transport layer via a data-type +frame. In general, this is expected to be a command-type payload. + +If the request ID of the command is one of the request IDs reserved for +events (one to ``SSH_NUM_EVENTS``, inclusively), it is forwarded to the +event callback registered in the request transport layer. If the request ID +indicates a response to a request, the respective request is looked up in +the pending set and, if found and marked as transmitted, completed with +success. + +Timeout Reaper +-------------- + +The request-response-timeout is a per-request timeout for requests expecting +a response. It is used to ensure that a request does not wait indefinitely +on a response from the EC and is started after the underlying packet has +been successfully completed. + +This timeout is, similar to the packet acknowledgment timeout on the packet +transport layer, handled via a dedicated reaper task. This task is +essentially a work-item (re-)scheduled to run when the next request is set +to time out. The work item then scans the set of pending requests for any +requests that have timed out and completes them with ``-ETIMEDOUT`` as +status. Requests will not be re-submitted automatically. Instead, the issuer +of the request must construct and submit a new request, if so desired. + +Note that this timeout, in combination with packet transmission and +acknowledgment timeouts, guarantees that the request layer will always make +progress, even if only through timing out packets, and never fully block. + +Concurrency and Locking +----------------------- + +Similar to the packet transport layer, there are two main locks in the +request transport layer: One guarding access to the request queue and one +guarding access to the pending set. These collections may only be accessed +and modified under the respective lock. + +Other parts of the request transport layer are guarded independently. State +flags are (again) managed by atomic bit operations and, if necessary, memory +barriers. Modifications to the timeout reaper work item and expiration date +are guarded by their own lock. + +Some request fields may be read outside of the respective locks guarding +them, specifically the state for tracing. In those cases, proper access is +ensured by employing ``WRITE_ONCE()`` and ``READ_ONCE()``. Such read-only +access is only allowed when stale values are not critical. + +With respect to the interface for higher layers, request submission +(|ssh_rtl_submit|), request cancellation (|ssh_rtl_cancel|), and layer +shutdown (|ssh_rtl_shutdown|) may always be executed concurrently with +respect to each other. Note that request submission may not run concurrently +with itself for the same request (and also may only be called once per +request). Equally, shutdown may also not run concurrently with itself. + + +Controller Layer +================ + +The controller layer extends on the request transport layer to provide an +easy-to-use interface for client drivers. It is represented by +|ssam_controller| and the SSH driver. While the lower level transport layers +take care of transmitting and handling packets and requests, the controller +layer takes on more of a management role. Specifically, it handles device +initialization, power management, and event handling, including event +delivery and registration via the (event) completion system (|ssam_cplt|). + +Event Registration +------------------ + +In general, an event (or rather a class of events) has to be explicitly +requested by the host before the EC will send it (HID input events seem to +be the exception). This is done via an event-enable request (similarly, +events should be disabled via an event-disable request once no longer +desired). + +The specific request used to enable (or disable) an event is given via an +event registry, i.e. the governing authority of this event (so to speak), +represented by |ssam_event_registry|. As parameters to this request, the +target category and, depending on the event registry, instance ID of the +event to be enabled must be provided. This (optional) instance ID must be +zero if the registry does not use it. Together, target category and instance +ID form the event ID, represented by |ssam_event_id|. In short, both, event +registry and event ID, are required to uniquely identify a respective class +of events. + +Note that a further *request ID* parameter must be provided for the +enable-event request. This parameter does not influence the class of events +being enabled, but instead is set as the request ID (RQID) on each event of +this class sent by the EC. It is used to identify events (as a limited +number of request IDs is reserved for use in events only, specifically one +to ``SSH_NUM_EVENTS`` inclusively) and also map events to their specific +class. Currently, the controller always sets this parameter to the target +category specified in |ssam_event_id|. + +As multiple client drivers may rely on the same (or overlapping) classes of +events and enable/disable calls are strictly binary (i.e. on/off), the +controller has to manage access to these events. It does so via reference +counting, storing the counter inside an RB-tree based mapping with event +registry and ID as key (there is no known list of valid event registry and +event ID combinations). See |ssam_nf|, |ssam_nf_refcount_inc|, and +|ssam_nf_refcount_dec| for details. + +This management is done together with notifier registration (described in +the next section) via the top-level |ssam_notifier_register| and +|ssam_notifier_unregister| functions. + +Event Delivery +-------------- + +To receive events, a client driver has to register an event notifier via +|ssam_notifier_register|. This increments the reference counter for that +specific class of events (as detailed in the previous section), enables the +class on the EC (if it has not been enabled already), and installs the +provided notifier callback. + +Notifier callbacks are stored in lists, with one (RCU) list per target +category (provided via the event ID; NB: there is a fixed known number of +target categories). There is no known association from the combination of +event registry and event ID to the command data (target ID, target category, +command ID, and instance ID) that can be provided by an event class, apart +from target category and instance ID given via the event ID. + +Note that due to the way notifiers are (or rather have to be) stored, client +drivers may receive events that they have not requested and need to account +for them. Specifically, they will, by default, receive all events from the +same target category. To simplify dealing with this, filtering of events by +target ID (provided via the event registry) and instance ID (provided via +the event ID) can be requested when registering a notifier. This filtering +is applied when iterating over the notifiers at the time they are executed. + +All notifier callbacks are executed on a dedicated workqueue, the so-called +completion workqueue. After an event has been received via the callback +installed in the request layer (running on the receiver thread of the packet +transport layer), it will be put on its respective event queue +(|ssam_event_queue|). From this event queue the completion work item of that +queue (running on the completion workqueue) will pick up the event and +execute the notifier callback. This is done to avoid blocking on the +receiver thread. + +There is one event queue per combination of target ID and target category. +This is done to ensure that notifier callbacks are executed in sequence for +events of the same target ID and target category. Callbacks can be executed +in parallel for events with a different combination of target ID and target +category. + +Concurrency and Locking +----------------------- + +Most of the concurrency related safety guarantees of the controller are +provided by the lower-level request transport layer. In addition to this, +event (un-)registration is guarded by its own lock. + +Access to the controller state is guarded by the state lock. This lock is a +read/write semaphore. The reader part can be used to ensure that the state +does not change while functions depending on the state to stay the same +(e.g. |ssam_notifier_register|, |ssam_notifier_unregister|, +|ssam_request_sync_submit|, and derivatives) are executed and this guarantee +is not already provided otherwise (e.g. through |ssam_client_bind| or +|ssam_client_link|). The writer part guards any transitions that will change +the state, i.e. initialization, destruction, suspension, and resumption. + +The controller state may be accessed (read-only) outside the state lock for +smoke-testing against invalid API usage (e.g. in |ssam_request_sync_submit|). +Note that such checks are not supposed to (and will not) protect against all +invalid usages, but rather aim to help catch them. In those cases, proper +variable access is ensured by employing ``WRITE_ONCE()`` and ``READ_ONCE()``. + +Assuming any preconditions on the state not changing have been satisfied, +all non-initialization and non-shutdown functions may run concurrently with +each other. This includes |ssam_notifier_register|, |ssam_notifier_unregister|, +|ssam_request_sync_submit|, as well as all functions building on top of those. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/surface_aggregator/overview.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/surface_aggregator/overview.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..26415e1ab --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/surface_aggregator/overview.rst @@ -0,0 +1,79 @@ +.. SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ + +======== +Overview +======== + +The Surface/System Aggregator Module (SAM, SSAM) is an (arguably *the*) +embedded controller (EC) on Microsoft Surface devices. It has been originally +introduced on 4th generation devices (Surface Pro 4, Surface Book 1), but +its responsibilities and feature-set have since been expanded significantly +with the following generations. + + +Features and Integration +======================== + +Not much is currently known about SAM on 4th generation devices (Surface Pro +4, Surface Book 1), due to the use of a different communication interface +between host and EC (as detailed below). On 5th (Surface Pro 2017, Surface +Book 2, Surface Laptop 1) and later generation devices, SAM is responsible +for providing battery information (both current status and static values, +such as maximum capacity etc.), as well as an assortment of temperature +sensors (e.g. skin temperature) and cooling/performance-mode setting to the +host. On the Surface Book 2, specifically, it additionally provides an +interface for properly handling clipboard detachment (i.e. separating the +display part from the keyboard part of the device), on the Surface Laptop 1 +and 2 it is required for keyboard HID input. This HID subsystem has been +restructured for 7th generation devices and on those, specifically Surface +Laptop 3 and Surface Book 3, is responsible for all major HID input (i.e. +keyboard and touchpad). + +While features have not changed much on a coarse level since the 5th +generation, internal interfaces have undergone some rather large changes. On +5th and 6th generation devices, both battery and temperature information is +exposed to ACPI via a shim driver (referred to as Surface ACPI Notify, or +SAN), translating ACPI generic serial bus write-/read-accesses to SAM +requests. On 7th generation devices, this additional layer is gone and these +devices require a driver hooking directly into the SAM interface. Equally, +on newer generations, less devices are declared in ACPI, making them a bit +harder to discover and requiring us to hard-code a sort of device registry. +Due to this, a SSAM bus and subsystem with client devices +(:c:type:`struct ssam_device <ssam_device>`) has been implemented. + + +Communication +============= + +The type of communication interface between host and EC depends on the +generation of the Surface device. On 4th generation devices, host and EC +communicate via HID, specifically using a HID-over-I2C device, whereas on +5th and later generations, communication takes place via a USART serial +device. In accordance to the drivers found on other operating systems, we +refer to the serial device and its driver as Surface Serial Hub (SSH). When +needed, we differentiate between both types of SAM by referring to them as +SAM-over-SSH and SAM-over-HID. + +Currently, this subsystem only supports SAM-over-SSH. The SSH communication +interface is described in more detail below. The HID interface has not been +reverse engineered yet and it is, at the moment, unclear how many (and +which) concepts of the SSH interface detailed below can be transferred to +it. + +Surface Serial Hub +------------------ + +As already elaborated above, the Surface Serial Hub (SSH) is the +communication interface for SAM on 5th- and all later-generation Surface +devices. On the highest level, communication can be separated into two main +types: Requests, messages sent from host to EC that may trigger a direct +response from the EC (explicitly associated with the request), and events +(sometimes also referred to as notifications), sent from EC to host without +being a direct response to a previous request. We may also refer to requests +without response as commands. In general, events need to be enabled via one +of multiple dedicated requests before they are sent by the EC. + +See Documentation/driver-api/surface_aggregator/ssh.rst for a +more technical protocol documentation and +Documentation/driver-api/surface_aggregator/internal.rst for an +overview of the internal driver architecture. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/surface_aggregator/ssh.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/surface_aggregator/ssh.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..bf007d6c9 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/surface_aggregator/ssh.rst @@ -0,0 +1,344 @@ +..

We will refer to this protocol and interface as +SAM-over-SSH, as opposed to SAM-over-HID for the older generations. + +On Surface devices with SAM-over-SSH, SAM is connected to the host via UART +and defined in ACPI as device with ID ``MSHW0084``. On these devices, +significant functionality is provided via SAM, including access to battery +and power information and events, thermal read-outs and events, and many +more. For Surface Laptops, keyboard input is handled via HID directed +through SAM, on the Surface Laptop 3 and Surface Book 3 this also includes +touchpad input. + +Note that the standard disclaimer for this subsystem also applies to this +document: All of this has been reverse-engineered and may thus be erroneous +and/or incomplete. + +All CRCs used in the following are two-byte ``crc_ccitt_false(0xffff, ...)``. +All multi-byte values are little-endian, there is no implicit padding between +values. + + +SSH Packet Protocol: Definitions +================================ + +The fundamental communication unit of the SSH protocol is a frame +(:c:type:`struct ssh_frame <ssh_frame>`). A frame consists of the following +fields, packed together and in order: + +.. flat-table:: SSH Frame + :widths: 1 1 4 + :header-rows: 1 + + * - Field + - Type + - Description + + * - |TYPE| + - |u8| + - Type identifier of the frame. + + * - |LEN| + - |u16| + - Length of the payload associated with the frame. + + * - |SEQ| + - |u8| + - Sequence ID (see explanation below). + +Each frame structure is followed by a CRC over this structure. The CRC over +the frame structure (|TYPE|, |LEN|, and |SEQ| fields) is placed directly +after the frame structure and before the payload. The payload is followed by +its own CRC (over all payload bytes). If the payload is not present (i.e. +the frame has ``LEN=0``), the CRC of the payload is still present and will +evaluate to ``0xffff``. The |LEN| field does not include any of the CRCs, it +equals the number of bytes inbetween the CRC of the frame and the CRC of the +payload. + +Additionally, the following fixed two-byte sequences are used: + +.. flat-table:: SSH Byte Sequences + :widths: 1 1 4 + :header-rows: 1 + + * - Name + - Value + - Description + + * - |SYN| + - ``[0xAA, 0x55]`` + - Synchronization bytes. + +A message consists of |SYN|, followed by the frame (|TYPE|, |LEN|, |SEQ| and +CRC) and, if specified in the frame (i.e. ``LEN > 0``), payload bytes, +followed finally, regardless if the payload is present, the payload CRC. The +messages corresponding to an exchange are, in part, identified by having the +same sequence ID (|SEQ|), stored inside the frame (more on this in the next +section). The sequence ID is a wrapping counter. + +A frame can have the following types +(:c:type:`enum ssh_frame_type <ssh_frame_type>`): + +.. flat-table:: SSH Frame Types + :widths: 1 1 4 + :header-rows: 1 + + * - Name + - Value + - Short Description + + * - |NAK| + - ``0x04`` + - Sent on error in previously received message. + + * - |ACK| + - ``0x40`` + - Sent to acknowledge receival of |DATA| frame. + + * - |DATA_SEQ| + - ``0x80`` + - Sent to transfer data. Sequenced. + + * - |DATA_NSQ| + - ``0x00`` + - Same as |DATA_SEQ|, but does not need to be ACKed. + +Both |NAK|- and |ACK|-type frames are used to control flow of messages and +thus do not carry a payload. |DATA_SEQ|- and |DATA_NSQ|-type frames on the +other hand must carry a payload. The flow sequence and interaction of +different frame types will be described in more depth in the next section. + + +SSH Packet Protocol: Flow Sequence +================================== + +Each exchange begins with |SYN|, followed by a |DATA_SEQ|- or +|DATA_NSQ|-type frame, followed by its CRC, payload, and payload CRC. In +case of a |DATA_NSQ|-type frame, the exchange is then finished. In case of a +|DATA_SEQ|-type frame, the receiving party has to acknowledge receival of +the frame by responding with a message containing an |ACK|-type frame with +the same sequence ID of the |DATA| frame. In other words, the sequence ID of +the |ACK| frame specifies the |DATA| frame to be acknowledged. In case of an +error, e.g. an invalid CRC, the receiving party responds with a message +containing an |NAK|-type frame. As the sequence ID of the previous data +frame, for which an error is indicated via the |NAK| frame, cannot be relied +upon, the sequence ID of the |NAK| frame should not be used and is set to +zero. After receival of an |NAK| frame, the sending party should re-send all +outstanding (non-ACKed) messages. + +Sequence IDs are not synchronized between the two parties, meaning that they +are managed independently for each party. Identifying the messages +corresponding to a single exchange thus relies on the sequence ID as well as +the type of the message, and the context. Specifically, the sequence ID is +used to associate an ``ACK`` with its ``DATA_SEQ``-type frame, but not +``DATA_SEQ``- or ``DATA_NSQ``-type frames with other ``DATA``- type frames. + +An example exchange might look like this: + +:: + + tx: -- SYN FRAME(D) CRC(F) PAYLOAD CRC(P) ----------------------------- + rx: ------------------------------------- SYN FRAME(A) CRC(F) CRC(P) -- + +where both frames have the same sequence ID (``SEQ``). Here, ``FRAME(D)`` +indicates a |DATA_SEQ|-type frame, ``FRAME(A)`` an ``ACK``-type frame, +``CRC(F)`` the CRC over the previous frame, ``CRC(P)`` the CRC over the +previous payload. In case of an error, the exchange would look like this: + +:: + + tx: -- SYN FRAME(D) CRC(F) PAYLOAD CRC(P) ----------------------------- + rx: ------------------------------------- SYN FRAME(N) CRC(F) CRC(P) -- + +upon which the sender should re-send the message. ``FRAME(N)`` indicates an +|NAK|-type frame. Note that the sequence ID of the |NAK|-type frame is fixed +to zero. For |DATA_NSQ|-type frames, both exchanges are the same: + +:: + + tx: -- SYN FRAME(DATA_NSQ) CRC(F) PAYLOAD CRC(P) ---------------------- + rx: ------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Here, an error can be detected, but not corrected or indicated to the +sending party. These exchanges are symmetric, i.e. switching ``rx`` and +``tx`` results again in a valid exchange. Currently, no longer exchanges are +known. + + +Commands: Requests, Responses, and Events +========================================= + +Commands are sent as payload inside a data frame. Currently, this is the +only known payload type of |DATA| frames, with a payload-type value of +``0x80`` (:c:type:`SSH_PLD_TYPE_CMD <ssh_payload_type>`). + +The command-type payload (:c:type:`struct ssh_command <ssh_command>`) +consists of an eight-byte command structure, followed by optional and +variable length command data. The length of this optional data is derived +from the frame payload length given in the corresponding frame, i.e. it is +``frame.len - sizeof(struct ssh_command)``. The command struct contains the +following fields, packed together and in order: + +.. flat-table:: SSH Command + :widths: 1 1 4 + :header-rows: 1 + + * - Field + - Type + - Description + + * - |TYPE| + - |u8| + - Type of the payload. For commands always ``0x80``. + + * - |TC| + - |u8| + - Target category. + + * - |TID| (out) + - |u8| + - Target ID for outgoing (host to EC) commands. + + * - |TID| (in) + - |u8| + - Target ID for incoming (EC to host) commands. + + * - |IID| + - |u8| + - Instance ID. + + * - |RQID| + - |u16| + - Request ID. + + * - |CID| + - |u8| + - Command ID. + +The command struct and data, in general, does not contain any failure +detection mechanism (e.g. CRCs), this is solely done on the frame level. + +Command-type payloads are used by the host to send commands and requests to +the EC as well as by the EC to send responses and events back to the host. +We differentiate between requests (sent by the host), responses (sent by the +EC in response to a request), and events (sent by the EC without a preceding +request). + +Commands and events are uniquely identified by their target category +(``TC``) and command ID (``CID``). The target category specifies a general +category for the command (e.g. system in general, vs. battery and AC, vs. +temperature, and so on), while the command ID specifies the command inside +that category. Only the combination of |TC| + |CID| is unique. Additionally, +commands have an instance ID (``IID``), which is used to differentiate +between different sub-devices. For example ``TC=3`` ``CID=1`` is a +request to get the temperature on a thermal sensor, where |IID| specifies +the respective sensor. If the instance ID is not used, it should be set to +zero. If instance IDs are used, they, in general, start with a value of one, +whereas zero may be used for instance independent queries, if applicable. A +response to a request should have the same target category, command ID, and +instance ID as the corresponding request. + +Responses are matched to their corresponding request via the request ID +(``RQID``) field. This is a 16 bit wrapping counter similar to the sequence +ID on the frames. Note that the sequence ID of the frames for a +request-response pair does not match. Only the request ID has to match. +Frame-protocol wise these are two separate exchanges, and may even be +separated, e.g. by an event being sent after the request but before the +response. Not all commands produce a response, and this is not detectable by +|TC| + |CID|. It is the responsibility of the issuing party to wait for a +response (or signal this to the communication framework, as is done in +SAN/ACPI via the ``SNC`` flag). + +Events are identified by unique and reserved request IDs. These IDs should +not be used by the host when sending a new request. They are used on the +host to, first, detect events and, second, match them with a registered +event handler. Request IDs for events are chosen by the host and directed to +the EC when setting up and enabling an event source (via the +enable-event-source request). The EC then uses the specified request ID for +events sent from the respective source. Note that an event should still be +identified by its target category, command ID, and, if applicable, instance +ID, as a single event source can send multiple different event types. In +general, however, a single target category should map to a single reserved +event request ID. + +Furthermore, requests, responses, and events have an associated target ID +(``TID``). This target ID is split into output (host to EC) and input (EC to +host) fields, with the respecting other field (e.g. output field on incoming +messages) set to zero. Two ``TID`` values are known: Primary (``0x01``) and +secondary (``0x02``). In general, the response to a request should have the +same ``TID`` value, however, the field (output vs. input) should be used in +accordance to the direction in which the response is sent (i.e. on the input +field, as responses are generally sent from the EC to the host). + +Note that, even though requests and events should be uniquely identifiable +by target category and command ID alone, the EC may require specific +target ID and instance ID values to accept a command. A command that is +accepted for ``TID=1``, for example, may not be accepted for ``TID=2`` +and vice versa. + + +Limitations and Observations +============================ + +The protocol can, in theory, handle up to ``U8_MAX`` frames in parallel, +with up to ``U16_MAX`` pending requests (neglecting request IDs reserved for +events). In practice, however, this is more limited. From our testing +(although via a python and thus a user-space program), it seems that the EC +can handle up to four requests (mostly) reliably in parallel at a certain +time. With five or more requests in parallel, consistent discarding of +commands (ACKed frame but no command response) has been observed. For five +simultaneous commands, this reproducibly resulted in one command being +dropped and four commands being handled. + +However, it has also been noted that, even with three requests in parallel, +occasional frame drops happen. Apart from this, with a limit of three +pending requests, no dropped commands (i.e. command being dropped but frame +carrying command being ACKed) have been observed. In any case, frames (and +possibly also commands) should be re-sent by the host if a certain timeout +is exceeded. This is done by the EC for frames with a timeout of one second, +up to two re-tries (i.e. three transmissions in total). The limit of +re-tries also applies to received NAKs, and, in a worst case scenario, can +lead to entire messages being dropped. + +While this also seems to work fine for pending data frames as long as no +transmission failures occur, implementation and handling of these seems to +depend on the assumption that there is only one non-acknowledged data frame. +In particular, the detection of repeated frames relies on the last sequence +number. This means that, if a frame that has been successfully received by +the EC is sent again, e.g. due to the host not receiving an |ACK|, the EC +will only detect this if it has the sequence ID of the last frame received +by the EC. As an example: Sending two frames with ``SEQ=0`` and ``SEQ=1`` +followed by a repetition of ``SEQ=0`` will not detect the second ``SEQ=0`` +frame as such, and thus execute the command in this frame each time it has +been received, i.e. twice in this example. Sending ``SEQ=0``, ``SEQ=1`` and +then repeating ``SEQ=1`` will detect the second ``SEQ=1`` as repetition of +the first one and ignore it, thus executing the contained command only once. + +In conclusion, this suggests a limit of at most one pending un-ACKed frame +(per party, effectively leading to synchronous communication regarding +frames) and at most three pending commands. The limit to synchronous frame +transfers seems to be consistent with behavior observed on Windows. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/switchtec.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/switchtec.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..7611fdc53 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/switchtec.rst @@ -0,0 +1,102 @@ +======================== +Linux Switchtec Support +======================== + +Microsemi's "Switchtec" line of PCI switch devices is already +supported by the kernel with standard PCI switch drivers.

Sync file is the carrier of +the fences(struct dma_fence) that are needed to synchronize between drivers or +across process boundaries. + +The sync_file API is meant to be used to send and receive fence information +to/from userspace. It enables userspace to do explicit fencing, where instead +of attaching a fence to the buffer a producer driver (such as a GPU or V4L +driver) sends the fence related to the buffer to userspace via a sync_file. + +The sync_file then can be sent to the consumer (DRM driver for example), that +will not use the buffer for anything before the fence(s) signals, i.e., the +driver that issued the fence is not using/processing the buffer anymore, so it +signals that the buffer is ready to use.

If you are using CONFIG_CPUFREQ_DT then the +`cpufreq_frequency_table` should already be assigned to the cpu +device. + +The dynamic power consumption of a processor depends on many factors. +For a given processor implementation the primary factors are: + +- The time the processor spends running, consuming dynamic power, as + compared to the time in idle states where dynamic consumption is + negligible. Herein we refer to this as 'utilisation'. +- The voltage and frequency levels as a result of DVFS. The DVFS + level is a dominant factor governing power consumption. +- In running time the 'execution' behaviour (instruction types, memory + access patterns and so forth) causes, in most cases, a second order + variation. In pathological cases this variation can be significant, + but typically it is of a much lesser impact than the factors above. + +A high level dynamic power consumption model may then be represented as:: + + Pdyn = f(run) * Voltage^2 * Frequency * Utilisation + +f(run) here represents the described execution behaviour and its +result has a units of Watts/Hz/Volt^2 (this often expressed in +mW/MHz/uVolt^2) + +The detailed behaviour for f(run) could be modelled on-line. However, +in practice, such an on-line model has dependencies on a number of +implementation specific processor support and characterisation +factors. Therefore, in initial implementation that contribution is +represented as a constant coefficient. This is a simplification +consistent with the relative contribution to overall power variation. + +In this simplified representation our model becomes:: + + Pdyn = Capacitance * Voltage^2 * Frequency * Utilisation + +Where `capacitance` is a constant that represents an indicative +running time dynamic power coefficient in fundamental units of +mW/MHz/uVolt^2.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +================ +CPU Idle Cooling +================ + +Situation: +---------- + +Under certain circumstances a SoC can reach a critical temperature +limit and is unable to stabilize the temperature around a temperature +control. When the SoC has to stabilize the temperature, the kernel can +act on a cooling device to mitigate the dissipated power. When the +critical temperature is reached, a decision must be taken to reduce +the temperature, that, in turn impacts performance. + +Another situation is when the silicon temperature continues to +increase even after the dynamic leakage is reduced to its minimum by +clock gating the component. This runaway phenomenon can continue due +to the static leakage. The only solution is to power down the +component, thus dropping the dynamic and static leakage that will +allow the component to cool down. + +Last but not least, the system can ask for a specific power budget but +because of the OPP density, we can only choose an OPP with a power +budget lower than the requested one and under-utilize the CPU, thus +losing performance. In other words, one OPP under-utilizes the CPU +with a power less than the requested power budget and the next OPP +exceeds the power budget. An intermediate OPP could have been used if +it were present. + +Solutions: +---------- + +If we can remove the static and the dynamic leakage for a specific +duration in a controlled period, the SoC temperature will +decrease. Acting on the idle state duration or the idle cycle +injection period, we can mitigate the temperature by modulating the +power budget. + +The Operating Performance Point (OPP) density has a great influence on +the control precision of cpufreq, however different vendors have a +plethora of OPP density, and some have large power gap between OPPs, +that will result in loss of performance during thermal control and +loss of power in other scenarios. + +At a specific OPP, we can assume that injecting idle cycle on all CPUs +belong to the same cluster, with a duration greater than the cluster +idle state target residency, we lead to dropping the static and the +dynamic leakage for this period (modulo the energy needed to enter +this state). So the sustainable power with idle cycles has a linear +relation with the OPP’s sustainable power and can be computed with a +coefficient similar to:: + + Power(IdleCycle) = Coef x Power(OPP) + +Idle Injection: +--------------- + +The base concept of the idle injection is to force the CPU to go to an +idle state for a specified time each control cycle, it provides +another way to control CPU power and heat in addition to +cpufreq. Ideally, if all CPUs belonging to the same cluster, inject +their idle cycles synchronously, the cluster can reach its power down +state with a minimum power consumption and reduce the static leakage +to almost zero. However, these idle cycles injection will add extra +latencies as the CPUs will have to wakeup from a deep sleep state. + +We use a fixed duration of idle injection that gives an acceptable +performance penalty and a fixed latency.

Software managed +passive power reduction must be performed to prevent the hardware +actions that are designed for catastrophic scenarios. + +Currently, P-states, T-states (clock modulation), and CPU offlining +are used for CPU throttling. + +On Intel CPUs, C-states provide effective power reduction, but so far +they’re only used opportunistically, based on workload. With the +development of intel_powerclamp driver, the method of synchronizing +idle injection across all online CPU threads was introduced. The goal +is to achieve forced and controllable C-state residency. + +Test/Analysis has been made in the areas of power, performance, +scalability, and user experience. In many cases, clear advantage is +shown over taking the CPU offline or modulating the CPU clock. + + +THEORY OF OPERATION +=================== + +Idle Injection +-------------- + +On modern Intel processors (Nehalem or later), package level C-state +residency is available in MSRs, thus also available to the kernel. + +These MSRs are:: + + #define MSR_PKG_C2_RESIDENCY 0x60D + #define MSR_PKG_C3_RESIDENCY 0x3F8 + #define MSR_PKG_C6_RESIDENCY 0x3F9 + #define MSR_PKG_C7_RESIDENCY 0x3FA + +If the kernel can also inject idle time to the system, then a +closed-loop control system can be established that manages package +level C-state. The intel_powerclamp driver is conceived as such a +control system, where the target set point is a user-selected idle +ratio (based on power reduction), and the error is the difference +between the actual package level C-state residency ratio and the target idle +ratio. + +Injection is controlled by high priority kernel threads, spawned for +each online CPU. + +These kernel threads, with SCHED_FIFO class, are created to perform +clamping actions of controlled duty ratio and duration. Each per-CPU +thread synchronizes its idle time and duration, based on the rounding +of jiffies, so accumulated errors can be prevented to avoid a jittery +effect. Threads are also bound to the CPU such that they cannot be +migrated, unless the CPU is taken offline. In this case, threads +belong to the offlined CPUs will be terminated immediately. + +Running as SCHED_FIFO and relatively high priority, also allows such +scheme to work for both preemptable and non-preemptable kernels. +Alignment of idle time around jiffies ensures scalability for HZ +values. This effect can be better visualized using a Perf timechart. +The following diagram shows the behavior of kernel thread +kidle_inject/cpu. During idle injection, it runs monitor/mwait idle +for a given "duration", then relinquishes the CPU to other tasks, +until the next time interval. + +The NOHZ schedule tick is disabled during idle time, but interrupts +are not masked. Tests show that the extra wakeups from scheduler tick +have a dramatic impact on the effectiveness of the powerclamp driver +on large scale systems (Westmere system with 80 processors). + +:: + + CPU0 + ____________ ____________ + kidle_inject/0 | sleep | mwait | sleep | + _________| |________| |_______ + duration + CPU1 + ____________ ____________ + kidle_inject/1 | sleep | mwait | sleep | + _________| |________| |_______ + ^ + | + | + roundup(jiffies, interval) + +Only one CPU is allowed to collect statistics and update global +control parameters. This CPU is referred to as the controlling CPU in +this document. The controlling CPU is elected at runtime, with a +policy that favors BSP, taking into account the possibility of a CPU +hot-plug. + +In terms of dynamics of the idle control system, package level idle +time is considered largely as a non-causal system where its behavior +cannot be based on the past or current input. Therefore, the +intel_powerclamp driver attempts to enforce the desired idle time +instantly as given input (target idle ratio). After injection, +powerclamp monitors the actual idle for a given time window and adjust +the next injection accordingly to avoid over/under correction. + +When used in a causal control system, such as a temperature control, +it is up to the user of this driver to implement algorithms where +past samples and outputs are included in the feedback. For example, a +PID-based thermal controller can use the powerclamp driver to +maintain a desired target temperature, based on integral and +derivative gains of the past samples. + + + +Calibration +----------- +During scalability testing, it is observed that synchronized actions +among CPUs become challenging as the number of cores grows. This is +also true for the ability of a system to enter package level C-states. + +To make sure the intel_powerclamp driver scales well, online +calibration is implemented. The goals for doing such a calibration +are: + +a) determine the effective range of idle injection ratio +b) determine the amount of compensation needed at each target ratio + +Compensation to each target ratio consists of two parts: + + a) steady state error compensation + This is to offset the error occurring when the system can + enter idle without extra wakeups (such as external interrupts). + + b) dynamic error compensation + When an excessive amount of wakeups occurs during idle, an + additional idle ratio can be added to quiet interrupts, by + slowing down CPU activities. + +A debugfs file is provided for the user to examine compensation +progress and results, such as on a Westmere system:: + + [jacob@nex01 ~]$ cat + /sys/kernel/debug/intel_powerclamp/powerclamp_calib + controlling cpu: 0 + pct confidence steady dynamic (compensation) + 0 0 0 0 + 1 1 0 0 + 2 1 1 0 + 3 3 1 0 + 4 3 1 0 + 5 3 1 0 + 6 3 1 0 + 7 3 1 0 + 8 3 1 0 + ... + 30 3 2 0 + 31 3 2 0 + 32 3 1 0 + 33 3 2 0 + 34 3 1 0 + 35 3 2 0 + 36 3 1 0 + 37 3 2 0 + 38 3 1 0 + 39 3 2 0 + 40 3 3 0 + 41 3 1 0 + 42 3 2 0 + 43 3 1 0 + 44 3 1 0 + 45 3 2 0 + 46 3 3 0 + 47 3 0 0 + 48 3 2 0 + 49 3 3 0 + +Calibration occurs during runtime. No offline method is available. +Steady state compensation is used only when confidence levels of all +adjacent ratios have reached satisfactory level. A confidence level +is accumulated based on clean data collected at runtime. Data +collected during a period without extra interrupts is considered +clean. + +To compensate for excessive amounts of wakeup during idle, additional +idle time is injected when such a condition is detected. Currently, +we have a simple algorithm to double the injection ratio. A possible +enhancement might be to throttle the offending IRQ, such as delaying +EOI for level triggered interrupts. But it is a challenge to be +non-intrusive to the scheduler or the IRQ core code. + + +CPU Online/Offline +------------------ +Per-CPU kernel threads are started/stopped upon receiving +notifications of CPU hotplug activities. The intel_powerclamp driver +keeps track of clamping kernel threads, even after they are migrated +to other CPUs, after a CPU offline event. + + +Performance Analysis +==================== +This section describes the general performance data collected on +multiple systems, including Westmere (80P) and Ivy Bridge (4P, 8P). + +Effectiveness and Limitations +----------------------------- +The maximum range that idle injection is allowed is capped at 50 +percent. As mentioned earlier, since interrupts are allowed during +forced idle time, excessive interrupts could result in less +effectiveness. The extreme case would be doing a ping -f to generated +flooded network interrupts without much CPU acknowledgement. In this +case, little can be done from the idle injection threads. In most +normal cases, such as scp a large file, applications can be throttled +by the powerclamp driver, since slowing down the CPU also slows down +network protocol processing, which in turn reduces interrupts. + +When control parameters change at runtime by the controlling CPU, it +may take an additional period for the rest of the CPUs to catch up +with the changes. During this time, idle injection is out of sync, +thus not able to enter package C- states at the expected ratio. But +this effect is minor, in that in most cases change to the target +ratio is updated much less frequently than the idle injection +frequency. + +Scalability +----------- +Tests also show a minor, but measurable, difference between the 4P/8P +Ivy Bridge system and the 80P Westmere server under 50% idle ratio. +More compensation is needed on Westmere for the same amount of +target idle ratio. The compensation also increases as the idle ratio +gets larger. The above reason constitutes the need for the +calibration code. + +On the IVB 8P system, compared to an offline CPU, powerclamp can +achieve up to 40% better performance per watt. (measured by a spin +counter summed over per CPU counting threads spawned for all running +CPUs). + +Usage and Interfaces +==================== +The powerclamp driver is registered to the generic thermal layer as a +cooling device.

This may not be the same value +set by the user in that current idle percentage depends on workload +and includes natural idle. When idle injection is disabled, reading +cur_state returns value -1 instead of 0 which is to avoid confusing +100% busy state with the disabled state. + +Example usage: +- To inject 25% idle time:: + + $ sudo sh -c "echo 25 > /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device80/cur_state + +If the system is not busy and has more than 25% idle time already, +then the powerclamp driver will not start idle injection.

The actual sustained power can vary +for a number of reasons. The closed loop controller will take care of +variations such as environmental conditions, and some factors related +to the speed-grade of the silicon. `sustainable_power` is therefore +simply an estimate, and may be tuned to affect the aggressiveness of +the thermal ramp. For reference, the sustainable power of a 4" phone +is typically 2000mW, while on a 10" tablet is around 4500mW (may vary +depending on screen size). It is possible to have the power value +expressed in an abstract scale. The sustained power should be aligned +to the scale used by the related cooling devices. + +If you are using device tree, do add it as a property of the +thermal-zone. For example:: + + thermal-zones { + soc_thermal { + polling-delay = <1000>; + polling-delay-passive = <100>; + sustainable-power = <2500>; + ... + +Instead, if the thermal zone is registered from the platform code, pass a +`thermal_zone_params` that has a `sustainable_power`. If no +`thermal_zone_params` were being passed, then something like below +will suffice:: + + static const struct thermal_zone_params tz_params = { + .sustainable_power = 3500, + }; + +and then pass `tz_params` as the 5th parameter to +`thermal_zone_device_register()` + +k_po and k_pu +------------- + +The implementation of the PID controller in the power allocator +thermal governor allows the configuration of two proportional term +constants: `k_po` and `k_pu`. `k_po` is the proportional term +constant during temperature overshoot periods (current temperature is +above "desired temperature" trip point). Conversely, `k_pu` is the +proportional term constant during temperature undershoot periods +(current temperature below "desired temperature" trip point). + +These controls are intended as the primary mechanism for configuring +the permitted thermal "ramp" of the system. For instance, a lower +`k_pu` value will provide a slower ramp, at the cost of capping +available capacity at a low temperature. On the other hand, a high +value of `k_pu` will result in the governor granting very high power +while temperature is low, and may lead to temperature overshooting. + +The default value for `k_pu` is:: + + 2 * sustainable_power / (desired_temperature - switch_on_temp) + +This means that at `switch_on_temp` the output of the controller's +proportional term will be 2 * `sustainable_power`. The default value +for `k_po` is:: + + sustainable_power / (desired_temperature - switch_on_temp) + +Focusing on the proportional and feed forward values of the PID +controller equation we have:: + + P_max = k_p * e + sustainable_power + +The proportional term is proportional to the difference between the +desired temperature and the current one. When the current temperature +is the desired one, then the proportional component is zero and +`P_max` = `sustainable_power`. That is, the system should operate in +thermal equilibrium under constant load. `sustainable_power` is only +an estimate, which is the reason for closed-loop control such as this. + +Expanding `k_pu` we get:: + + P_max = 2 * sustainable_power * (T_set - T) / (T_set - T_on) + + sustainable_power + +where: + + - T_set is the desired temperature + - T is the current temperature + - T_on is the switch on temperature + +When the current temperature is the switch_on temperature, the above +formula becomes:: + + P_max = 2 * sustainable_power * (T_set - T_on) / (T_set - T_on) + + sustainable_power = 2 * sustainable_power + sustainable_power = + 3 * sustainable_power + +Therefore, the proportional term alone linearly decreases power from +3 * `sustainable_power` to `sustainable_power` as the temperature +rises from the switch on temperature to the desired temperature. + +k_i and integral_cutoff +----------------------- + +`k_i` configures the PID loop's integral term constant. This term +allows the PID controller to compensate for long term drift and for +the quantized nature of the output control: cooling devices can't set +the exact power that the governor requests. When the temperature +error is below `integral_cutoff`, errors are accumulated in the +integral term. This term is then multiplied by `k_i` and the result +added to the output of the controller. Typically `k_i` is set low (1 +or 2) and `integral_cutoff` is 0. + +k_d +--- + +`k_d` configures the PID loop's derivative term constant. It's +recommended to leave it as the default: 0. + +Cooling device power API +======================== + +Cooling devices controlled by this governor must supply the additional +"power" API in their `cooling_device_ops`.

It should return 0 on success, +-E* on failure. This is currently used by the thermal core to convert +a given power set by the power allocator governor to a state that the +cooling device can set. It is a function because this conversion may +depend on external factors that may change so this function should the +best conversion given "current circumstances". + +Cooling device weights +---------------------- + +Weights are a mechanism to bias the allocation among cooling +devices. They express the relative power efficiency of different +cooling devices. Higher weight can be used to express higher power +efficiency. Weighting is relative such that if each cooling device +has a weight of one they are considered equal. This is particularly +useful in heterogeneous systems where two cooling devices may perform +the same kind of compute, but with different efficiency. For example, +a system with two different types of processors. + +If the thermal zone is registered using +`thermal_zone_device_register()` (i.e., platform code), then weights +are passed as part of the thermal zone's `thermal_bind_parameters`. +If the platform is registered using device tree, then they are passed +as the `contribution` property of each map in the `cooling-maps` node. + +Limitations of the power allocator governor +=========================================== + +The power allocator governor's PID controller works best if there is a +periodic tick. If you have a driver that calls +`thermal_zone_device_update()` (or anything that ends up calling the +governor's `throttle()` function) repetitively, the governor response +won't be very good. Note that this is not particular to this +governor, step-wise will also misbehave if you call its throttle() +faster than the normal thermal framework tick (due to interrupts for +example) as it will overreact. + +Energy Model requirements +========================= + +Another important thing is the consistent scale of the power values +provided by the cooling devices. All of the cooling devices in a single +thermal zone should have power values reported either in milli-Watts +or scaled to the same 'abstract scale'. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/thermal/sysfs-api.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/thermal/sysfs-api.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..2e0f79a9e --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/thermal/sysfs-api.rst @@ -0,0 +1,535 @@ +=================================== +Generic Thermal Sysfs driver How To +=================================== + +Written by Sujith Thomas <sujith.thomas@intel.com>, Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> + +Updated: 2 January 2008 + +Copyright (c) 2008 Intel Corporation + + +0.

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: + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 2 + + tty_driver + tty_port + tty_struct + tty_ldisc + tty_buffer + 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.

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. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/tty/n_gsm.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/tty/n_gsm.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..35d738151 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/tty/n_gsm.rst @@ -0,0 +1,153 @@ +============================== +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 +---------------- + +#.

The logic of controlling the +device does not necessarily have to be within the kernel, as the device +does not need to take advantage of any of other resources that the +kernel provides. One such common class of devices that are like this are +for industrial I/O cards. + +To address this situation, the userspace I/O system (UIO) was designed. +For typical industrial I/O cards, only a very small kernel module is +needed. The main part of the driver will run in user space. This +simplifies development and reduces the risk of serious bugs within a +kernel module. + +Please note that UIO is not an universal driver interface. Devices that +are already handled well by other kernel subsystems (like networking or +serial or USB) are no candidates for an UIO driver. Hardware that is +ideally suited for an UIO driver fulfills all of the following: + +- The device has memory that can be mapped. The device can be + controlled completely by writing to this memory. + +- The device usually generates interrupts. + +- The device does not fit into one of the standard kernel subsystems. + +Acknowledgments +--------------- + +I'd like to thank Thomas Gleixner and Benedikt Spranger of Linutronix, +who have not only written most of the UIO code, but also helped greatly +writing this HOWTO by giving me all kinds of background information. + +Feedback +-------- + +Find something wrong with this document? (Or perhaps something right?) I +would love to hear from you. Please email me at hjk@hansjkoch.de. + +About UIO +========= + +If you use UIO for your card's driver, here's what you get: + +- only one small kernel module to write and maintain. + +- develop the main part of your driver in user space, with all the + tools and libraries you're used to. + +- bugs in your driver won't crash the kernel. + +- updates of your driver can take place without recompiling the kernel. + +How UIO works +------------- + +Each UIO device is accessed through a device file and several sysfs +attribute files. The device file will be called ``/dev/uio0`` for the +first device, and ``/dev/uio1``, ``/dev/uio2`` and so on for subsequent +devices. + +``/dev/uioX`` is used to access the address space of the card. Just use +:c:func:`mmap()` to access registers or RAM locations of your card. + +Interrupts are handled by reading from ``/dev/uioX``. A blocking +:c:func:`read()` from ``/dev/uioX`` will return as soon as an +interrupt occurs. You can also use :c:func:`select()` on +``/dev/uioX`` to wait for an interrupt. The integer value read from +``/dev/uioX`` represents the total interrupt count. You can use this +number to figure out if you missed some interrupts. + +For some hardware that has more than one interrupt source internally, +but not separate IRQ mask and status registers, there might be +situations where userspace cannot determine what the interrupt source +was if the kernel handler disables them by writing to the chip's IRQ +register. In such a case, the kernel has to disable the IRQ completely +to leave the chip's register untouched. Now the userspace part can +determine the cause of the interrupt, but it cannot re-enable +interrupts. Another cornercase is chips where re-enabling interrupts is +a read-modify-write operation to a combined IRQ status/acknowledge +register. This would be racy if a new interrupt occurred simultaneously. + +To address these problems, UIO also implements a write() function. It is +normally not used and can be ignored for hardware that has only a single +interrupt source or has separate IRQ mask and status registers. If you +need it, however, a write to ``/dev/uioX`` will call the +:c:func:`irqcontrol()` function implemented by the driver. You have +to write a 32-bit value that is usually either 0 or 1 to disable or +enable interrupts. If a driver does not implement +:c:func:`irqcontrol()`, :c:func:`write()` will return with +``-ENOSYS``. + +To handle interrupts properly, your custom kernel module can provide its +own interrupt handler. It will automatically be called by the built-in +handler. + +For cards that don't generate interrupts but need to be polled, there is +the possibility to set up a timer that triggers the interrupt handler at +configurable time intervals. This interrupt simulation is done by +calling :c:func:`uio_event_notify()` from the timer's event +handler. + +Each driver provides attributes that are used to read or write +variables. These attributes are accessible through sysfs files. A custom +kernel driver module can add its own attributes to the device owned by +the uio driver, but not added to the UIO device itself at this time. +This might change in the future if it would be found to be useful. + +The following standard attributes are provided by the UIO framework: + +- ``name``: The name of your device. It is recommended to use the name + of your kernel module for this. + +- ``version``: A version string defined by your driver. This allows the + user space part of your driver to deal with different versions of the + kernel module. + +- ``event``: The total number of interrupts handled by the driver since + the last time the device node was read. + +These attributes appear under the ``/sys/class/uio/uioX`` directory. +Please note that this directory might be a symlink, and not a real +directory. Any userspace code that accesses it must be able to handle +this. + +Each UIO device can make one or more memory regions available for memory +mapping. This is necessary because some industrial I/O cards require +access to more than one PCI memory region in a driver. + +Each mapping has its own directory in sysfs, the first mapping appears +as ``/sys/class/uio/uioX/maps/map0/``. Subsequent mappings create +directories ``map1/``, ``map2/``, and so on. These directories will only +appear if the size of the mapping is not 0. + +Each ``mapX/`` directory contains four read-only files that show +attributes of the memory: + +- ``name``: A string identifier for this mapping. This is optional, the + string can be empty. Drivers can set this to make it easier for + userspace to find the correct mapping. + +- ``addr``: The address of memory that can be mapped. + +- ``size``: The size, in bytes, of the memory pointed to by addr. + +- ``offset``: The offset, in bytes, that has to be added to the pointer + returned by :c:func:`mmap()` to get to the actual device memory. + This is important if the device's memory is not page aligned. + Remember that pointers returned by :c:func:`mmap()` are always + page aligned, so it is good style to always add this offset. + +From userspace, the different mappings are distinguished by adjusting +the ``offset`` parameter of the :c:func:`mmap()` call. To map the +memory of mapping N, you have to use N times the page size as your +offset:: + + offset = N * getpagesize(); + +Sometimes there is hardware with memory-like regions that can not be +mapped with the technique described here, but there are still ways to +access them from userspace. The most common example are x86 ioports. On +x86 systems, userspace can access these ioports using +:c:func:`ioperm()`, :c:func:`iopl()`, :c:func:`inb()`, +:c:func:`outb()`, and similar functions. + +Since these ioport regions can not be mapped, they will not appear under +``/sys/class/uio/uioX/maps/`` like the normal memory described above. +Without information about the port regions a hardware has to offer, it +becomes difficult for the userspace part of the driver to find out which +ports belong to which UIO device. + +To address this situation, the new directory +``/sys/class/uio/uioX/portio/`` was added. It only exists if the driver +wants to pass information about one or more port regions to userspace. +If that is the case, subdirectories named ``port0``, ``port1``, and so +on, will appear underneath ``/sys/class/uio/uioX/portio/``. + +Each ``portX/`` directory contains four read-only files that show name, +start, size, and type of the port region: + +- ``name``: A string identifier for this port region. The string is + optional and can be empty. Drivers can set it to make it easier for + userspace to find a certain port region. + +- ``start``: The first port of this region. + +- ``size``: The number of ports in this region. + +- ``porttype``: A string describing the type of port. + +Writing your own kernel module +============================== + +Please have a look at ``uio_cif.c`` as an example. The following +paragraphs explain the different sections of this file. + +struct uio_info +--------------- + +This structure tells the framework the details of your driver, Some of +the members are required, others are optional. + +- ``const char *name``: Required. The name of your driver as it will + appear in sysfs. I recommend using the name of your module for this. + +- ``const char *version``: Required. This string appears in + ``/sys/class/uio/uioX/version``. + +- ``struct uio_mem mem[ MAX_UIO_MAPS ]``: Required if you have memory + that can be mapped with :c:func:`mmap()`. For each mapping you + need to fill one of the ``uio_mem`` structures. See the description + below for details. + +- ``struct uio_port port[ MAX_UIO_PORTS_REGIONS ]``: Required if you + want to pass information about ioports to userspace. For each port + region you need to fill one of the ``uio_port`` structures. See the + description below for details. + +- ``long irq``: Required. If your hardware generates an interrupt, it's + your modules task to determine the irq number during initialization. + If you don't have a hardware generated interrupt but want to trigger + the interrupt handler in some other way, set ``irq`` to + ``UIO_IRQ_CUSTOM``. If you had no interrupt at all, you could set + ``irq`` to ``UIO_IRQ_NONE``, though this rarely makes sense. + +- ``unsigned long irq_flags``: Required if you've set ``irq`` to a + hardware interrupt number. The flags given here will be used in the + call to :c:func:`request_irq()`. + +- ``int (*mmap)(struct uio_info *info, struct vm_area_struct *vma)``: + Optional. If you need a special :c:func:`mmap()` + function, you can set it here. If this pointer is not NULL, your + :c:func:`mmap()` will be called instead of the built-in one. + +- ``int (*open)(struct uio_info *info, struct inode *inode)``: + Optional. You might want to have your own :c:func:`open()`, + e.g. to enable interrupts only when your device is actually used. + +- ``int (*release)(struct uio_info *info, struct inode *inode)``: + Optional. If you define your own :c:func:`open()`, you will + probably also want a custom :c:func:`release()` function. + +- ``int (*irqcontrol)(struct uio_info *info, s32 irq_on)``: + Optional. If you need to be able to enable or disable interrupts + from userspace by writing to ``/dev/uioX``, you can implement this + function. The parameter ``irq_on`` will be 0 to disable interrupts + and 1 to enable them. + +Usually, your device will have one or more memory regions that can be +mapped to user space. For each region, you have to set up a +``struct uio_mem`` in the ``mem[]`` array. Here's a description of the +fields of ``struct uio_mem``: + +- ``const char *name``: Optional. Set this to help identify the memory + region, it will show up in the corresponding sysfs node. + +- ``int memtype``: Required if the mapping is used. Set this to + ``UIO_MEM_PHYS`` if you have physical memory on your card to be + mapped. Use ``UIO_MEM_LOGICAL`` for logical memory (e.g. allocated + with :c:func:`__get_free_pages()` but not kmalloc()). There's also + ``UIO_MEM_VIRTUAL`` for virtual memory. + +- ``phys_addr_t addr``: Required if the mapping is used. Fill in the + address of your memory block. This address is the one that appears in + sysfs. + +- ``resource_size_t size``: Fill in the size of the memory block that + ``addr`` points to. If ``size`` is zero, the mapping is considered + unused. Note that you *must* initialize ``size`` with zero for all + unused mappings. + +- ``void *internal_addr``: If you have to access this memory region + from within your kernel module, you will want to map it internally by + using something like :c:func:`ioremap()`. Addresses returned by + this function cannot be mapped to user space, so you must not store + it in ``addr``. Use ``internal_addr`` instead to remember such an + address. + +Please do not touch the ``map`` element of ``struct uio_mem``! It is +used by the UIO framework to set up sysfs files for this mapping. Simply +leave it alone. + +Sometimes, your device can have one or more port regions which can not +be mapped to userspace. But if there are other possibilities for +userspace to access these ports, it makes sense to make information +about the ports available in sysfs. For each region, you have to set up +a ``struct uio_port`` in the ``port[]`` array. Here's a description of +the fields of ``struct uio_port``: + +- ``char *porttype``: Required. Set this to one of the predefined + constants. Use ``UIO_PORT_X86`` for the ioports found in x86 + architectures. + +- ``unsigned long start``: Required if the port region is used. Fill in + the number of the first port of this region. + +- ``unsigned long size``: Fill in the number of ports in this region. + If ``size`` is zero, the region is considered unused. Note that you + *must* initialize ``size`` with zero for all unused regions. + +Please do not touch the ``portio`` element of ``struct uio_port``! It is +used internally by the UIO framework to set up sysfs files for this +region. Simply leave it alone. + +Adding an interrupt handler +--------------------------- + +What you need to do in your interrupt handler depends on your hardware +and on how you want to handle it. You should try to keep the amount of +code in your kernel interrupt handler low. If your hardware requires no +action that you *have* to perform after each interrupt, then your +handler can be empty. + +If, on the other hand, your hardware *needs* some action to be performed +after each interrupt, then you *must* do it in your kernel module. Note +that you cannot rely on the userspace part of your driver. Your +userspace program can terminate at any time, possibly leaving your +hardware in a state where proper interrupt handling is still required. + +There might also be applications where you want to read data from your +hardware at each interrupt and buffer it in a piece of kernel memory +you've allocated for that purpose. With this technique you could avoid +loss of data if your userspace program misses an interrupt. + +A note on shared interrupts: Your driver should support interrupt +sharing whenever this is possible. It is possible if and only if your +driver can detect whether your hardware has triggered the interrupt or +not. This is usually done by looking at an interrupt status register. If +your driver sees that the IRQ bit is actually set, it will perform its +actions, and the handler returns IRQ_HANDLED. If the driver detects +that it was not your hardware that caused the interrupt, it will do +nothing and return IRQ_NONE, allowing the kernel to call the next +possible interrupt handler. + +If you decide not to support shared interrupts, your card won't work in +computers with no free interrupts. As this frequently happens on the PC +platform, you can save yourself a lot of trouble by supporting interrupt +sharing. + +Using uio_pdrv for platform devices +----------------------------------- + +In many cases, UIO drivers for platform devices can be handled in a +generic way. In the same place where you define your +``struct platform_device``, you simply also implement your interrupt +handler and fill your ``struct uio_info``. A pointer to this +``struct uio_info`` is then used as ``platform_data`` for your platform +device. + +You also need to set up an array of ``struct resource`` containing +addresses and sizes of your memory mappings. This information is passed +to the driver using the ``.resource`` and ``.num_resources`` elements of +``struct platform_device``. + +You now have to set the ``.name`` element of ``struct platform_device`` +to ``"uio_pdrv"`` to use the generic UIO platform device driver. This +driver will fill the ``mem[]`` array according to the resources given, +and register the device. + +The advantage of this approach is that you only have to edit a file you +need to edit anyway. You do not have to create an extra driver. + +Using uio_pdrv_genirq for platform devices +------------------------------------------ + +Especially in embedded devices, you frequently find chips where the irq +pin is tied to its own dedicated interrupt line. In such cases, where +you can be really sure the interrupt is not shared, we can take the +concept of ``uio_pdrv`` one step further and use a generic interrupt +handler. That's what ``uio_pdrv_genirq`` does. + +The setup for this driver is the same as described above for +``uio_pdrv``, except that you do not implement an interrupt handler. The +``.handler`` element of ``struct uio_info`` must remain ``NULL``. The +``.irq_flags`` element must not contain ``IRQF_SHARED``. + +You will set the ``.name`` element of ``struct platform_device`` to +``"uio_pdrv_genirq"`` to use this driver. + +The generic interrupt handler of ``uio_pdrv_genirq`` will simply disable +the interrupt line using :c:func:`disable_irq_nosync()`. After +doing its work, userspace can reenable the interrupt by writing +0x00000001 to the UIO device file. The driver already implements an +:c:func:`irq_control()` to make this possible, you must not +implement your own. + +Using ``uio_pdrv_genirq`` not only saves a few lines of interrupt +handler code. You also do not need to know anything about the chip's +internal registers to create the kernel part of the driver. All you need +to know is the irq number of the pin the chip is connected to. + +When used in a device-tree enabled system, the driver needs to be +probed with the ``"of_id"`` module parameter set to the ``"compatible"`` +string of the node the driver is supposed to handle. By default, the +node's name (without the unit address) is exposed as name for the +UIO device in userspace. To set a custom name, a property named +``"linux,uio-name"`` may be specified in the DT node. + +Using uio_dmem_genirq for platform devices +------------------------------------------ + +In addition to statically allocated memory ranges, they may also be a +desire to use dynamically allocated regions in a user space driver. In +particular, being able to access memory made available through the +dma-mapping API, may be particularly useful. The ``uio_dmem_genirq`` +driver provides a way to accomplish this. + +This driver is used in a similar manner to the ``"uio_pdrv_genirq"`` +driver with respect to interrupt configuration and handling. + +Set the ``.name`` element of ``struct platform_device`` to +``"uio_dmem_genirq"`` to use this driver. + +When using this driver, fill in the ``.platform_data`` element of +``struct platform_device``, which is of type +``struct uio_dmem_genirq_pdata`` and which contains the following +elements: + +- ``struct uio_info uioinfo``: The same structure used as the + ``uio_pdrv_genirq`` platform data + +- ``unsigned int *dynamic_region_sizes``: Pointer to list of sizes of + dynamic memory regions to be mapped into user space. + +- ``unsigned int num_dynamic_regions``: Number of elements in + ``dynamic_region_sizes`` array. + +The dynamic regions defined in the platform data will be appended to the +`` mem[] `` array after the platform device resources, which implies +that the total number of static and dynamic memory regions cannot exceed +``MAX_UIO_MAPS``. + +The dynamic memory regions will be allocated when the UIO device file, +``/dev/uioX`` is opened. Similar to static memory resources, the memory +region information for dynamic regions is then visible via sysfs at +``/sys/class/uio/uioX/maps/mapY/*``. The dynamic memory regions will be +freed when the UIO device file is closed. When no processes are holding +the device file open, the address returned to userspace is ~0. + +Writing a driver in userspace +============================= + +Once you have a working kernel module for your hardware, you can write +the userspace part of your driver. You don't need any special libraries, +your driver can be written in any reasonable language, you can use +floating point numbers and so on. In short, you can use all the tools +and libraries you'd normally use for writing a userspace application. + +Getting information about your UIO device +----------------------------------------- + +Information about all UIO devices is available in sysfs. The first thing +you should do in your driver is check ``name`` and ``version`` to make +sure you're talking to the right device and that its kernel driver has +the version you expect. + +You should also make sure that the memory mapping you need exists and +has the size you expect. + +There is a tool called ``lsuio`` that lists UIO devices and their +attributes. It is available here: + +http://www.osadl.org/projects/downloads/UIO/user/ + +With ``lsuio`` you can quickly check if your kernel module is loaded and +which attributes it exports. Have a look at the manpage for details. + +The source code of ``lsuio`` can serve as an example for getting +information about an UIO device. The file ``uio_helper.c`` contains a +lot of functions you could use in your userspace driver code. + +mmap() device memory +-------------------- + +After you made sure you've got the right device with the memory mappings +you need, all you have to do is to call :c:func:`mmap()` to map the +device's memory to userspace. + +The parameter ``offset`` of the :c:func:`mmap()` call has a special +meaning for UIO devices: It is used to select which mapping of your +device you want to map. To map the memory of mapping N, you have to use +N times the page size as your offset:: + + offset = N * getpagesize(); + +N starts from zero, so if you've got only one memory range to map, set +``offset = 0``. A drawback of this technique is that memory is always +mapped beginning with its start address. + +Waiting for interrupts +---------------------- + +After you successfully mapped your devices memory, you can access it +like an ordinary array. Usually, you will perform some initialization. +After that, your hardware starts working and will generate an interrupt +as soon as it's finished, has some data available, or needs your +attention because an error occurred. + +``/dev/uioX`` is a read-only file. A :c:func:`read()` will always +block until an interrupt occurs. There is only one legal value for the +``count`` parameter of :c:func:`read()`, and that is the size of a +signed 32 bit integer (4). Any other value for ``count`` causes +:c:func:`read()` to fail. The signed 32 bit integer read is the +interrupt count of your device. If the value is one more than the value +you read the last time, everything is OK. If the difference is greater +than one, you missed interrupts. + +You can also use :c:func:`select()` on ``/dev/uioX``. + +Generic PCI UIO driver +====================== + +The generic driver is a kernel module named uio_pci_generic. It can +work with any device compliant to PCI 2.3 (circa 2002) and any compliant +PCI Express device. Using this, you only need to write the userspace +driver, removing the need to write a hardware-specific kernel module. + +Making the driver recognize the device +-------------------------------------- + +Since the driver does not declare any device ids, it will not get loaded +automatically and will not automatically bind to any devices, you must +load it and allocate id to the driver yourself. For example:: + + modprobe uio_pci_generic + echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic/new_id + +If there already is a hardware specific kernel driver for your device, +the generic driver still won't bind to it, in this case if you want to +use the generic driver (why would you?) you'll have to manually unbind +the hardware specific driver and bind the generic driver, like this:: + + echo -n 0000:00:19.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/e1000e/unbind + echo -n 0000:00:19.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic/bind + +You can verify that the device has been bound to the driver by looking +for it in sysfs, for example like the following:: + + ls -l /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:19.0/driver + +Which if successful should print:: + + .../0000:00:19.0/driver -> ../../../bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic + +Note that the generic driver will not bind to old PCI 2.2 devices. If +binding the device failed, run the following command:: + + dmesg + +and look in the output for failure reasons. + +Things to know about uio_pci_generic +------------------------------------ + +Interrupts are handled using the Interrupt Disable bit in the PCI +command register and Interrupt Status bit in the PCI status register. +All devices compliant to PCI 2.3 (circa 2002) and all compliant PCI +Express devices should support these bits. uio_pci_generic detects +this support, and won't bind to devices which do not support the +Interrupt Disable Bit in the command register. + +On each interrupt, uio_pci_generic sets the Interrupt Disable bit. +This prevents the device from generating further interrupts until the +bit is cleared. The userspace driver should clear this bit before +blocking and waiting for more interrupts. + +Writing userspace driver using uio_pci_generic +------------------------------------------------ + +Userspace driver can use pci sysfs interface, or the libpci library that +wraps it, to talk to the device and to re-enable interrupts by writing +to the command register. + +Example code using uio_pci_generic +---------------------------------- + +Here is some sample userspace driver code using uio_pci_generic:: + + #include <stdlib.h> + #include <stdio.h> + #include <unistd.h> + #include <sys/types.h> + #include <sys/stat.h> + #include <fcntl.h> + #include <errno.h> + + int main() + { + int uiofd; + int configfd; + int err; + int i; + unsigned icount; + unsigned char command_high; + + uiofd = open("/dev/uio0", O_RDONLY); + if (uiofd < 0) { + perror("uio open:"); + return errno; + } + configfd = open("/sys/class/uio/uio0/device/config", O_RDWR); + if (configfd < 0) { + perror("config open:"); + return errno; + } + + /* Read and cache command value */ + err = pread(configfd, &command_high, 1, 5); + if (err != 1) { + perror("command config read:"); + return errno; + } + command_high &= ~0x4; + + for(i = 0;; ++i) { + /* Print out a message, for debugging. */ + if (i == 0) + fprintf(stderr, "Started uio test driver.\n"); + else + fprintf(stderr, "Interrupts: %d\n", icount); + + /****************************************/ + /* Here we got an interrupt from the + device.

The URB also contains a + context-pointer for passing information to the completion handler. + +- Each endpoint for a device logically supports a queue of requests. + You can fill that queue, so that the USB hardware can still transfer + data to an endpoint while your driver handles completion of another. + This maximizes use of USB bandwidth, and supports seamless streaming + of data to (or from) devices when using periodic transfer modes. + + +The URB structure +================= + +Some of the fields in struct urb are:: + + struct urb + { + // (IN) device and pipe specify the endpoint queue + struct usb_device *dev; // pointer to associated USB device + unsigned int pipe; // endpoint information + + unsigned int transfer_flags; // URB_ISO_ASAP, URB_SHORT_NOT_OK, etc. + + // (IN) all urbs need completion routines + void *context; // context for completion routine + usb_complete_t complete; // pointer to completion routine + + // (OUT) status after each completion + int status; // returned status + + // (IN) buffer used for data transfers + void *transfer_buffer; // associated data buffer + u32 transfer_buffer_length; // data buffer length + int number_of_packets; // size of iso_frame_desc + + // (OUT) sometimes only part of CTRL/BULK/INTR transfer_buffer is used + u32 actual_length; // actual data buffer length + + // (IN) setup stage for CTRL (pass a struct usb_ctrlrequest) + unsigned char *setup_packet; // setup packet (control only) + + // Only for PERIODIC transfers (ISO, INTERRUPT) + // (IN/OUT) start_frame is set unless URB_ISO_ASAP isn't set + int start_frame; // start frame + int interval; // polling interval + + // ISO only: packets are only "best effort"; each can have errors + int error_count; // number of errors + struct usb_iso_packet_descriptor iso_frame_desc[0]; + }; + +Your driver must create the "pipe" value using values from the appropriate +endpoint descriptor in an interface that it's claimed. + + +How to get an URB? +================== + +URBs are allocated by calling :c:func:`usb_alloc_urb`:: + + struct urb *usb_alloc_urb(int isoframes, int mem_flags) + +Return value is a pointer to the allocated URB, 0 if allocation failed. +The parameter isoframes specifies the number of isochronous transfer frames +you want to schedule. For CTRL/BULK/INT, use 0. The mem_flags parameter +holds standard memory allocation flags, letting you control (among other +things) whether the underlying code may block or not. + +To free an URB, use :c:func:`usb_free_urb`:: + + void usb_free_urb(struct urb *urb) + +You may free an urb that you've submitted, but which hasn't yet been +returned to you in a completion callback. It will automatically be +deallocated when it is no longer in use. + + +What has to be filled in? +========================= + +Depending on the type of transaction, there are some inline functions +defined in ``linux/usb.h`` to simplify the initialization, such as +:c:func:`usb_fill_control_urb`, :c:func:`usb_fill_bulk_urb` and +:c:func:`usb_fill_int_urb`. In general, they need the usb device pointer, +the pipe (usual format from usb.h), the transfer buffer, the desired transfer +length, the completion handler, and its context. Take a look at the some +existing drivers to see how they're used. + +Flags: + +- For ISO there are two startup behaviors: Specified start_frame or ASAP. +- For ASAP set ``URB_ISO_ASAP`` in transfer_flags. + +If short packets should NOT be tolerated, set ``URB_SHORT_NOT_OK`` in +transfer_flags. + + +How to submit an URB? +===================== + +Just call :c:func:`usb_submit_urb`:: + + int usb_submit_urb(struct urb *urb, int mem_flags) + +The ``mem_flags`` parameter, such as ``GFP_ATOMIC``, controls memory +allocation, such as whether the lower levels may block when memory is tight. + +It immediately returns, either with status 0 (request queued) or some +error code, usually caused by the following: + +- Out of memory (``-ENOMEM``) +- Unplugged device (``-ENODEV``) +- Stalled endpoint (``-EPIPE``) +- Too many queued ISO transfers (``-EAGAIN``) +- Too many requested ISO frames (``-EFBIG``) +- Invalid INT interval (``-EINVAL``) +- More than one packet for INT (``-EINVAL``) + +After submission, ``urb->status`` is ``-EINPROGRESS``; however, you should +never look at that value except in your completion callback. + +For isochronous endpoints, your completion handlers should (re)submit +URBs to the same endpoint with the ``URB_ISO_ASAP`` flag, using +multi-buffering, to get seamless ISO streaming. + + +How to cancel an already running URB? +===================================== + +There are two ways to cancel an URB you've submitted but which hasn't +been returned to your driver yet. For an asynchronous cancel, call +:c:func:`usb_unlink_urb`:: + + int usb_unlink_urb(struct urb *urb) + +It removes the urb from the internal list and frees all allocated +HW descriptors. The status is changed to reflect unlinking. Note +that the URB will not normally have finished when :c:func:`usb_unlink_urb` +returns; you must still wait for the completion handler to be called. + +To cancel an URB synchronously, call :c:func:`usb_kill_urb`:: + + void usb_kill_urb(struct urb *urb) + +It does everything :c:func:`usb_unlink_urb` does, and in addition it waits +until after the URB has been returned and the completion handler +has finished. It also marks the URB as temporarily unusable, so +that if the completion handler or anyone else tries to resubmit it +they will get a ``-EPERM`` error. Thus you can be sure that when +:c:func:`usb_kill_urb` returns, the URB is totally idle. + +There is a lifetime issue to consider. An URB may complete at any +time, and the completion handler may free the URB. If this happens +while :c:func:`usb_unlink_urb` or :c:func:`usb_kill_urb` is running, it will +cause a memory-access violation. The driver is responsible for avoiding this, +which often means some sort of lock will be needed to prevent the URB +from being deallocated while it is still in use. + +On the other hand, since usb_unlink_urb may end up calling the +completion handler, the handler must not take any lock that is held +when usb_unlink_urb is invoked. The general solution to this problem +is to increment the URB's reference count while holding the lock, then +drop the lock and call usb_unlink_urb or usb_kill_urb, and then +decrement the URB's reference count. You increment the reference +count by calling :c:func`usb_get_urb`:: + + struct urb *usb_get_urb(struct urb *urb) + +(ignore the return value; it is the same as the argument) and +decrement the reference count by calling :c:func:`usb_free_urb`. Of course, +none of this is necessary if there's no danger of the URB being freed +by the completion handler. + + +What about the completion handler? +================================== + +The handler is of the following type:: + + typedef void (*usb_complete_t)(struct urb *) + +I.e., it gets the URB that caused the completion call. In the completion +handler, you should have a look at ``urb->status`` to detect any USB errors. +Since the context parameter is included in the URB, you can pass +information to the completion handler. + +Note that even when an error (or unlink) is reported, data may have been +transferred. That's because USB transfers are packetized; it might take +sixteen packets to transfer your 1KByte buffer, and ten of them might +have transferred successfully before the completion was called. + + +.. warning:: + + NEVER SLEEP IN A COMPLETION HANDLER. + + These are often called in atomic context. + +In the current kernel, completion handlers run with local interrupts +disabled, but in the future this will be changed, so don't assume that +local IRQs are always disabled inside completion handlers. + +How to do isochronous (ISO) transfers? +====================================== + +Besides the fields present on a bulk transfer, for ISO, you also +have to set ``urb->interval`` to say how often to make transfers; it's +often one per frame (which is once every microframe for highspeed devices). +The actual interval used will be a power of two that's no bigger than what +you specify. You can use the :c:func:`usb_fill_int_urb` macro to fill +most ISO transfer fields. + +For ISO transfers you also have to fill a :c:type:`usb_iso_packet_descriptor` +structure, allocated at the end of the URB by :c:func:`usb_alloc_urb`, for +each packet you want to schedule. + +The :c:func:`usb_submit_urb` call modifies ``urb->interval`` to the implemented +interval value that is less than or equal to the requested interval value. If +``URB_ISO_ASAP`` scheduling is used, ``urb->start_frame`` is also updated. + +For each entry you have to specify the data offset for this frame (base is +transfer_buffer), and the length you want to write/expect to read. +After completion, actual_length contains the actual transferred length and +status contains the resulting status for the ISO transfer for this frame. +It is allowed to specify a varying length from frame to frame (e.g. for +audio synchronisation/adaptive transfer rates). You can also use the length +0 to omit one or more frames (striping). + +For scheduling you can choose your own start frame or ``URB_ISO_ASAP``. As +explained earlier, if you always keep at least one URB queued and your +completion keeps (re)submitting a later URB, you'll get smooth ISO streaming +(if usb bandwidth utilization allows). + +If you specify your own start frame, make sure it's several frames in advance +of the current frame. You might want this model if you're synchronizing +ISO data with some other event stream. + + +How to start interrupt (INT) transfers? +======================================= + +Interrupt transfers, like isochronous transfers, are periodic, and happen +in intervals that are powers of two (1, 2, 4 etc) units. Units are frames +for full and low speed devices, and microframes for high speed ones. +You can use the :c:func:`usb_fill_int_urb` macro to fill INT transfer fields. + +The :c:func:`usb_submit_urb` call modifies ``urb->interval`` to the implemented +interval value that is less than or equal to the requested interval value. + +In Linux 2.6, unlike earlier versions, interrupt URBs are not automagically +restarted when they complete. They end when the completion handler is +called, just like other URBs. If you want an interrupt URB to be restarted, +your completion handler must resubmit it. +s diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/usb/anchors.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/usb/anchors.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..4b248e691 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/usb/anchors.rst @@ -0,0 +1,83 @@ +USB Anchors +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +What is anchor? +=============== + +A USB driver needs to support some callbacks requiring +a driver to cease all IO to an interface.

However, it is important that all sleeps have a +small fixed upper limit in time. In particular you must not call out to +user space and await results. + +Hotplugging callbacks +===================== + +These callbacks are intended to associate and disassociate a driver with +an interface. A driver's bond to an interface is exclusive. + +The probe() callback +-------------------- + +:: + + int (*probe) (struct usb_interface *intf, + const struct usb_device_id *id); + +Accept or decline an interface.

The device will not be suspended and you may do IO +to the interface you are called for and endpoint 0 of the device. Device +initialisation that doesn't take too long is a good idea here. + +The disconnect() callback +------------------------- + +:: + + void (*disconnect) (struct usb_interface *intf); + +This callback is a signal to break any connection with an interface. +You are not allowed any IO to a device after returning from this +callback. You also may not do any other operation that may interfere +with another driver bound the interface, eg. a power management +operation. +If you are called due to a physical disconnection, all your URBs will be +killed by usbcore.

(See the first section +of Documentation/core-api/dma-api-howto.rst, titled "What memory is DMA-able?") + +- When you're using scatterlists, you can map everything at once. On some + systems, this kicks in an IOMMU and turns the scatterlists into single + DMA transactions:: + + int usb_buffer_map_sg (struct usb_device *dev, unsigned pipe, + struct scatterlist *sg, int nents); + + void usb_buffer_dmasync_sg (struct usb_device *dev, unsigned pipe, + struct scatterlist *sg, int n_hw_ents); + + void usb_buffer_unmap_sg (struct usb_device *dev, unsigned pipe, + struct scatterlist *sg, int n_hw_ents); + + It's probably easier to use the new ``usb_sg_*()`` calls, which do the DMA + mapping and apply other tweaks to make scatterlist i/o be fast. + +- Some drivers may prefer to work with the model that they're mapping large + buffers, synchronizing their safe re-use. (If there's no re-use, then let + usbcore do the map/unmap.) Large periodic transfers make good examples + here, since it's cheaper to just synchronize the buffer than to unmap it + each time an urb completes and then re-map it on during resubmission. + + These calls all work with initialized urbs: ``urb->dev``, ``urb->pipe``, + ``urb->transfer_buffer``, and ``urb->transfer_buffer_length`` must all be + valid when these calls are used (``urb->setup_packet`` must be valid too + if urb is a control request):: + + struct urb *usb_buffer_map (struct urb *urb); + + void usb_buffer_dmasync (struct urb *urb); + + void usb_buffer_unmap (struct urb *urb); + + The calls manage ``urb->transfer_dma`` for you, and set + ``URB_NO_TRANSFER_DMA_MAP`` so that usbcore won't map or unmap the buffer. + They cannot be used for setup_packet buffers in control requests. + +Note that several of those interfaces are currently commented out, since +they don't have current users. See the source code. Other than the dmasync +calls (where the underlying DMA primitives have changed), most of them can +easily be commented back in if you want to use them. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/usb/dwc3.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/usb/dwc3.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..8b36ff11c --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/usb/dwc3.rst @@ -0,0 +1,711 @@ +=============================================================== +Synopsys DesignWare Core SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Controller +=============================================================== + +:Author: Felipe Balbi <felipe.balbi@linux.intel.com> +:Date: April 2017 + +Introduction +============ + +The *Synopsys DesignWare Core SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Controller* +(hereinafter referred to as *DWC3*) is a USB SuperSpeed compliant +controller which can be configured in one of 4 ways: + + 1. Peripheral-only configuration + 2. Host-only configuration + 3. Dual-Role configuration + 4. Hub configuration + +Linux currently supports several versions of this controller. In all +likelyhood, the version in your SoC is already supported. At the time +of this writing, known tested versions range from 2.02a to 3.10a. As a +rule of thumb, anything above 2.02a should work reliably well. + +Currently, we have many known users for this driver. In alphabetical +order: + + 1. Cavium + 2. Intel Corporation + 3. Qualcomm + 4. Rockchip + 5. ST + 6. Samsung + 7. Texas Instruments + 8. Xilinx + +Summary of Features +====================== + +For details about features supported by your version of DWC3, consult +your IP team and/or *Synopsys DesignWare Core SuperSpeed USB 3.0 +Controller Databook*. Following is a list of features supported by the +driver at the time of this writing: + + 1. Up to 16 bidirectional endpoints (including the control + pipe - ep0) + 2. Flexible endpoint configuration + 3. Simultaneous IN and OUT transfer support + 4. Scatter-list support + 5. Up to 256 TRBs [#trb]_ per endpoint + 6. Support for all transfer types (*Control*, *Bulk*, + *Interrupt*, and *Isochronous*) + 7. SuperSpeed Bulk Streams + 8. Link Power Management + 9. Trace Events for debugging + 10. DebugFS [#debugfs]_ interface + +These features have all been exercised with many of the **in-tree** +gadget drivers. We have verified both *ConfigFS* [#configfs]_ and +legacy gadget drivers. + +Driver Design +============== + +The DWC3 driver sits on the *drivers/usb/dwc3/* directory. All files +related to this driver are in this one directory. This makes it easy +for new-comers to read the code and understand how it behaves. + +Because of DWC3's configuration flexibility, the driver is a little +complex in some places but it should be rather straightforward to +understand. + +The biggest part of the driver refers to the Gadget API. + +Known Limitations +=================== + +Like any other HW, DWC3 has its own set of limitations. To avoid +constant questions about such problems, we decided to document them +here and have a single location to where we could point users. + +OUT Transfer Size Requirements +--------------------------------- + +According to Synopsys Databook, all OUT transfer TRBs [#trb]_ must +have their *size* field set to a value which is integer divisible by +the endpoint's *wMaxPacketSize*. This means that *e.g.* in order to +receive a Mass Storage *CBW* [#cbw]_, req->length must either be set +to a value that's divisible by *wMaxPacketSize* (1024 on SuperSpeed, +512 on HighSpeed, etc), or DWC3 driver must add a Chained TRB pointing +to a throw-away buffer for the remaining length. Without this, OUT +transfers will **NOT** start. + +Note that as of this writing, this won't be a problem because DWC3 is +fully capable of appending a chained TRB for the remaining length and +completely hide this detail from the gadget driver. It's still worth +mentioning because this seems to be the largest source of queries +about DWC3 and *non-working transfers*. + +TRB Ring Size Limitation +------------------------- + +We, currently, have a hard limit of 256 TRBs [#trb]_ per endpoint, +with the last TRB being a Link TRB [#link_trb]_ pointing back to the +first. This limit is arbitrary but it has the benefit of adding up to +exactly 4096 bytes, or 1 Page. + +DWC3 driver will try its best to cope with more than 255 requests and, +for the most part, it should work normally. However this is not +something that has been exercised very frequently. If you experience +any problems, see section **Reporting Bugs** below. + +Reporting Bugs +================ + +Whenever you encounter a problem with DWC3, first and foremost you +should make sure that: + + 1. You're running latest tag from `Linus' tree`_ + 2. You can reproduce the error without any out-of-tree changes + to DWC3 + 3. You have checked that it's not a fault on the host machine + +After all these are verified, then here's how to capture enough +information so we can be of any help to you. + +Required Information +--------------------- + +DWC3 relies exclusively on Trace Events for debugging. Everything is +exposed there, with some extra bits being exposed to DebugFS +[#debugfs]_. + +In order to capture DWC3's Trace Events you should run the following +commands **before** plugging the USB cable to a host machine: + +.. code-block:: sh + + # mkdir -p /d + # mkdir -p /t + # mount -t debugfs none /d + # mount -t tracefs none /t + # echo 81920 > /t/buffer_size_kb + # echo 1 > /t/events/dwc3/enable + +After this is done, you can connect your USB cable and reproduce the +problem. As soon as the fault is reproduced, make a copy of files +``trace`` and ``regdump``, like so: + +.. code-block:: sh + + # cp /t/trace /root/trace.txt + # cat /d/*dwc3*/regdump > /root/regdump.txt + +Make sure to compress ``trace.txt`` and ``regdump.txt`` in a tarball +and email it to `me`_ with `linux-usb`_ in Cc. If you want to be extra +sure that I'll help you, write your subject line in the following +format: + + **[BUG REPORT] usb: dwc3: Bug while doing XYZ** + +On the email body, make sure to detail what you doing, which gadget +driver you were using, how to reproduce the problem, what SoC you're +using, which OS (and its version) was running on the Host machine. + +With all this information, we should be able to understand what's +going on and be helpful to you. + +Debugging +=========== + +First and foremost a disclaimer:: + + DISCLAIMER: The information available on DebugFS and/or TraceFS can + change at any time at any Major Linux Kernel Release. If writing + scripts, do **NOT** assume information to be available in the + current format. + +With that out of the way, let's carry on. + +If you're willing to debug your own problem, you deserve a round of +applause :-) + +Anyway, there isn't much to say here other than Trace Events will be +really helpful in figuring out issues with DWC3. Also, access to +Synopsys Databook will be **really** valuable in this case. + +A USB Sniffer can be helpful at times but it's not entirely required, +there's a lot that can be understood without looking at the wire. + +Feel free to email `me`_ and Cc `linux-usb`_ if you need any help. + +``DebugFS`` +------------- + +``DebugFS`` is very good for gathering snapshots of what's going on +with DWC3 and/or any endpoint. + +On DWC3's ``DebugFS`` directory, you will find the following files and +directories: + +``ep[0..15]{in,out}/`` +``link_state`` +``regdump`` +``testmode`` + +``link_state`` +`````````````` + +When read, ``link_state`` will print out one of ``U0``, ``U1``, +``U2``, ``U3``, ``SS.Disabled``, ``RX.Detect``, ``SS.Inactive``, +``Polling``, ``Recovery``, ``Hot Reset``, ``Compliance``, +``Loopback``, ``Reset``, ``Resume`` or ``UNKNOWN link state``. + +This file can also be written to in order to force link to one of the +states above. + +``regdump`` +````````````` + +File name is self-explanatory. When read, ``regdump`` will print out a +register dump of DWC3. Note that this file can be grepped to find the +information you want. + +``testmode`` +`````````````` + +When read, ``testmode`` will print out a name of one of the specified +USB 2.0 Testmodes (``test_j``, ``test_k``, ``test_se0_nak``, +``test_packet``, ``test_force_enable``) or the string ``no test`` in +case no tests are currently being executed. + +In order to start any of these test modes, the same strings can be +written to the file and DWC3 will enter the requested test mode. + + +``ep[0..15]{in,out}`` +`````````````````````` + +For each endpoint we expose one directory following the naming +convention ``ep$num$dir`` *(ep0in, ep0out, ep1in, ...)*. Inside each +of these directories you will find the following files: + +``descriptor_fetch_queue`` +``event_queue`` +``rx_fifo_queue`` +``rx_info_queue`` +``rx_request_queue`` +``transfer_type`` +``trb_ring`` +``tx_fifo_queue`` +``tx_request_queue`` + +With access to Synopsys Databook, you can decode the information on +them. + +``transfer_type`` +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +When read, ``transfer_type`` will print out one of ``control``, +``bulk``, ``interrupt`` or ``isochronous`` depending on what the +endpoint descriptor says. If the endpoint hasn't been enabled yet, it +will print ``--``. + +``trb_ring`` +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +When read, ``trb_ring`` will print out details about all TRBs on the +ring. It will also tell you where our enqueue and dequeue pointers are +located in the ring: + +.. code-block:: sh + + buffer_addr,size,type,ioc,isp_imi,csp,chn,lst,hwo +

also provides several trace events which help us gathering +information about the behavior of the driver during runtime. + +In order to use these events, you must enable ``CONFIG_FTRACE`` in +your kernel config. + +For details about how enable DWC3 events, see section **Reporting +Bugs**. + +The following subsections will give details about each Event Class and +each Event defined by DWC3. + +MMIO +``````` + +It is sometimes useful to look at every MMIO access when looking for +bugs. Because of that, DWC3 offers two Trace Events (one for +dwc3_readl() and one for dwc3_writel()). ``TP_printk`` follows:: + + TP_printk("addr %p value %08x", __entry->base + __entry->offset, + __entry->value) + +Interrupt Events +```````````````` + +Every IRQ event can be logged and decoded into a human readable +string. Because every event will be different, we don't give an +example other than the ``TP_printk`` format used:: + + TP_printk("event (%08x): %s", __entry->event, + dwc3_decode_event(__entry->event, __entry->ep0state)) + +Control Request +````````````````` + +Every USB Control Request can be logged to the trace buffer. The +output format is:: + + TP_printk("%s", dwc3_decode_ctrl(__entry->bRequestType, + __entry->bRequest, __entry->wValue, + __entry->wIndex, __entry->wLength) + ) + +Note that Standard Control Requests will be decoded into +human-readable strings with their respective arguments. Class and +Vendor requests will be printed out a sequence of 8 bytes in hex +format. + +Lifetime of a ``struct usb_request`` +``````````````````````````````````````` + +The entire lifetime of a ``struct usb_request`` can be tracked on the +trace buffer. We have one event for each of allocation, free, +queueing, dequeueing, and giveback. Output format is:: + + TP_printk("%s: req %p length %u/%u %s%s%s ==> %d", + __get_str(name), __entry->req, __entry->actual, __entry->length, + __entry->zero ? "Z" : "z", + __entry->short_not_ok ? "S" : "s", + __entry->no_interrupt ? "i" : "I", + __entry->status + ) + +Generic Commands +```````````````````` + +We can log and decode every Generic Command with its completion +code. Format is:: + + TP_printk("cmd '%s' [%x] param %08x --> status: %s", + dwc3_gadget_generic_cmd_string(__entry->cmd), + __entry->cmd, __entry->param, + dwc3_gadget_generic_cmd_status_string(__entry->status) + ) + +Endpoint Commands +```````````````````` + +Endpoints commands can also be logged together with completion +code. Format is:: + + TP_printk("%s: cmd '%s' [%d] params %08x %08x %08x --> status: %s", + __get_str(name), dwc3_gadget_ep_cmd_string(__entry->cmd), + __entry->cmd, __entry->param0, + __entry->param1, __entry->param2, + dwc3_ep_cmd_status_string(__entry->cmd_status) + ) + +Lifetime of a ``TRB`` +`````````````````````` + +A ``TRB`` Lifetime is simple. We are either preparing a ``TRB`` or +completing it. With these two events, we can see how a ``TRB`` changes +over time. Format is:: + + TP_printk("%s: %d/%d trb %p buf %08x%08x size %s%d ctrl %08x (%c%c%c%c:%c%c:%s)", + __get_str(name), __entry->queued, __entry->allocated, + __entry->trb, __entry->bph, __entry->bpl, + ({char *s; + int pcm = ((__entry->size >> 24) & 3) + 1; + switch (__entry->type) { + case USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_INT: + case USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_ISOC: + switch (pcm) { + case 1: + s = "1x "; + break; + case 2: + s = "2x "; + break; + case 3: + s = "3x "; + break; + } + default: + s = ""; + } s; }), + DWC3_TRB_SIZE_LENGTH(__entry->size), __entry->ctrl, + __entry->ctrl & DWC3_TRB_CTRL_HWO ?

'C' : 'c', + dwc3_trb_type_string(DWC3_TRBCTL_TYPE(__entry->ctrl)) + ) + +Lifetime of an Endpoint +``````````````````````` + +And endpoint's lifetime is summarized with enable and disable +operations, both of which can be traced. Format is:: + + TP_printk("%s: mps %d/%d streams %d burst %d ring %d/%d flags %c:%c%c%c%c%c:%c:%c", + __get_str(name), __entry->maxpacket, + __entry->maxpacket_limit, __entry->max_streams, + __entry->maxburst, __entry->trb_enqueue, + __entry->trb_dequeue, + __entry->flags & DWC3_EP_ENABLED ?

It provides +an overview of the API structure, and shows how that fits into a system +development project. This is the first such API released on Linux to +address a number of important problems, including: + +- Supports USB 2.0, for high speed devices which can stream data at + several dozen megabytes per second. + +- Handles devices with dozens of endpoints just as well as ones with + just two fixed-function ones. Gadget drivers can be written so + they're easy to port to new hardware. + +- Flexible enough to expose more complex USB device capabilities such + as multiple configurations, multiple interfaces, composite devices, + and alternate interface settings. + +- USB "On-The-Go" (OTG) support, in conjunction with updates to the + Linux-USB host side. + +- Sharing data structures and API models with the Linux-USB host side + API. This helps the OTG support, and looks forward to more-symmetric + frameworks (where the same I/O model is used by both host and device + side drivers). + +- Minimalist, so it's easier to support new device controller hardware. + I/O processing doesn't imply large demands for memory or CPU + resources. + +Most Linux developers will not be able to use this API, since they have +USB ``host`` hardware in a PC, workstation, or server. Linux users with +embedded systems are more likely to have USB peripheral hardware. To +distinguish drivers running inside such hardware from the more familiar +Linux "USB device drivers", which are host side proxies for the real USB +devices, a different term is used: the drivers inside the peripherals +are "USB gadget drivers". In USB protocol interactions, the device +driver is the master (or "client driver") and the gadget driver is the +slave (or "function driver"). + +The gadget API resembles the host side Linux-USB API in that both use +queues of request objects to package I/O buffers, and those requests may +be submitted or canceled. They share common definitions for the standard +USB *Chapter 9* messages, structures, and constants. Also, both APIs +bind and unbind drivers to devices. The APIs differ in detail, since the +host side's current URB framework exposes a number of implementation +details and assumptions that are inappropriate for a gadget API. While +the model for control transfers and configuration management is +necessarily different (one side is a hardware-neutral master, the other +is a hardware-aware slave), the endpoint I/0 API used here should also +be usable for an overhead-reduced host side API. + +Structure of Gadget Drivers +=========================== + +A system running inside a USB peripheral normally has at least three +layers inside the kernel to handle USB protocol processing, and may have +additional layers in user space code. The ``gadget`` API is used by the +middle layer to interact with the lowest level (which directly handles +hardware). + +In Linux, from the bottom up, these layers are: + +*USB Controller Driver* + This is the lowest software level. It is the only layer that talks + to hardware, through registers, fifos, dma, irqs, and the like. The + ``<linux/usb/gadget.h>`` API abstracts the peripheral controller + endpoint hardware. That hardware is exposed through endpoint + objects, which accept streams of IN/OUT buffers, and through + callbacks that interact with gadget drivers. Since normal USB + devices only have one upstream port, they only have one of these + drivers. The controller driver can support any number of different + gadget drivers, but only one of them can be used at a time. + + Examples of such controller hardware include the PCI-based NetChip + 2280 USB 2.0 high speed controller, the SA-11x0 or PXA-25x UDC + (found within many PDAs), and a variety of other products. + +*Gadget Driver* + The lower boundary of this driver implements hardware-neutral USB + functions, using calls to the controller driver. Because such + hardware varies widely in capabilities and restrictions, and is used + in embedded environments where space is at a premium, the gadget + driver is often configured at compile time to work with endpoints + supported by one particular controller. Gadget drivers may be + portable to several different controllers, using conditional + compilation. (Recent kernels substantially simplify the work + involved in supporting new hardware, by *autoconfiguring* endpoints + automatically for many bulk-oriented drivers.) Gadget driver + responsibilities include: + + - handling setup requests (ep0 protocol responses) possibly + including class-specific functionality + + - returning configuration and string descriptors + + - (re)setting configurations and interface altsettings, including + enabling and configuring endpoints + + - handling life cycle events, such as managing bindings to + hardware, USB suspend/resume, remote wakeup, and disconnection + from the USB host. + + - managing IN and OUT transfers on all currently enabled endpoints + + Such drivers may be modules of proprietary code, although that + approach is discouraged in the Linux community. + +*Upper Level* + Most gadget drivers have an upper boundary that connects to some + Linux driver or framework in Linux. Through that boundary flows the + data which the gadget driver produces and/or consumes through + protocol transfers over USB. Examples include: + + - user mode code, using generic (gadgetfs) or application specific + files in ``/dev`` + + - networking subsystem (for network gadgets, like the CDC Ethernet + Model gadget driver) + + - data capture drivers, perhaps video4Linux or a scanner driver; or + test and measurement hardware. + + - input subsystem (for HID gadgets) + + - sound subsystem (for audio gadgets) + + - file system (for PTP gadgets) + + - block i/o subsystem (for usb-storage gadgets) + + - ... and more + +*Additional Layers* + Other layers may exist. These could include kernel layers, such as + network protocol stacks, as well as user mode applications building + on standard POSIX system call APIs such as ``open()``, ``close()``, + ``read()`` and ``write()``. On newer systems, POSIX Async I/O calls may + be an option. Such user mode code will not necessarily be subject to + the GNU General Public License (GPL). + +OTG-capable systems will also need to include a standard Linux-USB host +side stack, with ``usbcore``, one or more *Host Controller Drivers* +(HCDs), *USB Device Drivers* to support the OTG "Targeted Peripheral +List", and so forth. There will also be an *OTG Controller Driver*, +which is visible to gadget and device driver developers only indirectly. +That helps the host and device side USB controllers implement the two +new OTG protocols (HNP and SRP). Roles switch (host to peripheral, or +vice versa) using HNP during USB suspend processing, and SRP can be +viewed as a more battery-friendly kind of device wakeup protocol. + +Over time, reusable utilities are evolving to help make some gadget +driver tasks simpler. For example, building configuration descriptors +from vectors of descriptors for the configurations interfaces and +endpoints is now automated, and many drivers now use autoconfiguration +to choose hardware endpoints and initialize their descriptors. A +potential example of particular interest is code implementing standard +USB-IF protocols for HID, networking, storage, or audio classes. Some +developers are interested in KDB or KGDB hooks, to let target hardware +be remotely debugged. Most such USB protocol code doesn't need to be +hardware-specific, any more than network protocols like X11, HTTP, or +NFS are. Such gadget-side interface drivers should eventually be +combined, to implement composite devices. + +Kernel Mode Gadget API +====================== + +Gadget drivers declare themselves through a struct +:c:type:`usb_gadget_driver`, which is responsible for most parts of enumeration +for a struct usb_gadget. The response to a set_configuration usually +involves enabling one or more of the struct usb_ep objects exposed by +the gadget, and submitting one or more struct usb_request buffers to +transfer data. Understand those four data types, and their operations, +and you will understand how this API works. + +.. Note:: + + Other than the "Chapter 9" data types, most of the significant data + types and functions are described here. + + However, some relevant information is likely omitted from what you + are reading. One example of such information is endpoint + autoconfiguration. You'll have to read the header file, and use + example source code (such as that for "Gadget Zero"), to fully + understand the API. + + The part of the API implementing some basic driver capabilities is + specific to the version of the Linux kernel that's in use. The 2.6 + and upper kernel versions include a *driver model* framework that has + no analogue on earlier kernels; so those parts of the gadget API are + not fully portable. (They are implemented on 2.4 kernels, but in a + different way.) The driver model state is another part of this API that is + ignored by the kerneldoc tools. + +The core API does not expose every possible hardware feature, only the +most widely available ones. There are significant hardware features, +such as device-to-device DMA (without temporary storage in a memory +buffer) that would be added using hardware-specific APIs. + +This API allows drivers to use conditional compilation to handle +endpoint capabilities of different hardware, but doesn't require that. +Hardware tends to have arbitrary restrictions, relating to transfer +types, addressing, packet sizes, buffering, and availability. As a rule, +such differences only matter for "endpoint zero" logic that handles +device configuration and management. The API supports limited run-time +detection of capabilities, through naming conventions for endpoints. +Many drivers will be able to at least partially autoconfigure +themselves. In particular, driver init sections will often have endpoint +autoconfiguration logic that scans the hardware's list of endpoints to +find ones matching the driver requirements (relying on those +conventions), to eliminate some of the most common reasons for +conditional compilation. + +Like the Linux-USB host side API, this API exposes the "chunky" nature +of USB messages: I/O requests are in terms of one or more "packets", and +packet boundaries are visible to drivers. Compared to RS-232 serial +protocols, USB resembles synchronous protocols like HDLC (N bytes per +frame, multipoint addressing, host as the primary station and devices as +secondary stations) more than asynchronous ones (tty style: 8 data bits +per frame, no parity, one stop bit). So for example the controller +drivers won't buffer two single byte writes into a single two-byte USB +IN packet, although gadget drivers may do so when they implement +protocols where packet boundaries (and "short packets") are not +significant. + +Driver Life Cycle +----------------- + +Gadget drivers make endpoint I/O requests to hardware without needing to +know many details of the hardware, but driver setup/configuration code +needs to handle some differences. Use the API like this: + +1. Register a driver for the particular device side usb controller + hardware, such as the net2280 on PCI (USB 2.0), sa11x0 or pxa25x as + found in Linux PDAs, and so on. At this point the device is logically + in the USB ch9 initial state (``attached``), drawing no power and not + usable (since it does not yet support enumeration). Any host should + not see the device, since it's not activated the data line pullup + used by the host to detect a device, even if VBUS power is available. + +2. Register a gadget driver that implements some higher level device + function. That will then bind() to a :c:type:`usb_gadget`, which activates + the data line pullup sometime after detecting VBUS. + +3. The hardware driver can now start enumerating. The steps it handles + are to accept USB ``power`` and ``set_address`` requests. Other steps are + handled by the gadget driver. If the gadget driver module is unloaded + before the host starts to enumerate, steps before step 7 are skipped. + +4. The gadget driver's ``setup()`` call returns usb descriptors, based both + on what the bus interface hardware provides and on the functionality + being implemented. That can involve alternate settings or + configurations, unless the hardware prevents such operation. For OTG + devices, each configuration descriptor includes an OTG descriptor. + +5. The gadget driver handles the last step of enumeration, when the USB + host issues a ``set_configuration`` call. It enables all endpoints used + in that configuration, with all interfaces in their default settings. + That involves using a list of the hardware's endpoints, enabling each + endpoint according to its descriptor. It may also involve using + ``usb_gadget_vbus_draw`` to let more power be drawn from VBUS, as + allowed by that configuration. For OTG devices, setting a + configuration may also involve reporting HNP capabilities through a + user interface. + +6. Do real work and perform data transfers, possibly involving changes + to interface settings or switching to new configurations, until the + device is disconnect()ed from the host. Queue any number of transfer + requests to each endpoint. It may be suspended and resumed several + times before being disconnected. On disconnect, the drivers go back + to step 3 (above). + +7. When the gadget driver module is being unloaded, the driver unbind() + callback is issued. That lets the controller driver be unloaded. + +Drivers will normally be arranged so that just loading the gadget driver +module (or statically linking it into a Linux kernel) allows the +peripheral device to be enumerated, but some drivers will defer +enumeration until some higher level component (like a user mode daemon) +enables it. Note that at this lowest level there are no policies about +how ep0 configuration logic is implemented, except that it should obey +USB specifications. Such issues are in the domain of gadget drivers, +including knowing about implementation constraints imposed by some USB +controllers or understanding that composite devices might happen to be +built by integrating reusable components. + +Note that the lifecycle above can be slightly different for OTG devices. +Other than providing an additional OTG descriptor in each configuration, +only the HNP-related differences are particularly visible to driver +code. They involve reporting requirements during the ``SET_CONFIGURATION`` +request, and the option to invoke HNP during some suspend callbacks. +Also, SRP changes the semantics of ``usb_gadget_wakeup`` slightly. + +USB 2.0 Chapter 9 Types and Constants +------------------------------------- + +Gadget drivers rely on common USB structures and constants defined in +the :ref:`linux/usb/ch9.h <usb_chapter9>` header file, which is standard in +Linux 2.6+ kernels. These are the same types and constants used by host side +drivers (and usbcore). + +Core Objects and Methods +------------------------ + +These are declared in ``<linux/usb/gadget.h>``, and are used by gadget +drivers to interact with USB peripheral controller drivers. + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/usb/gadget.h + :internal: + +Optional Utilities +------------------ + +The core API is sufficient for writing a USB Gadget Driver, but some +optional utilities are provided to simplify common tasks. These +utilities include endpoint autoconfiguration. + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/gadget/usbstring.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/gadget/config.c + :export: + +Composite Device Framework +-------------------------- + +The core API is sufficient for writing drivers for composite USB devices +(with more than one function in a given configuration), and also +multi-configuration devices (also more than one function, but not +necessarily sharing a given configuration). There is however an optional +framework which makes it easier to reuse and combine functions. + +Devices using this framework provide a struct usb_composite_driver, +which in turn provides one or more struct usb_configuration +instances. Each such configuration includes at least one struct +:c:type:`usb_function`, which packages a user visible role such as "network +link" or "mass storage device". Management functions may also exist, +such as "Device Firmware Upgrade". + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/usb/composite.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/gadget/composite.c + :export: + +Composite Device Functions +-------------------------- + +At this writing, a few of the current gadget drivers have been converted +to this framework. Near-term plans include converting all of them, +except for ``gadgetfs``. + +Peripheral Controller Drivers +============================= + +The first hardware supporting this API was the NetChip 2280 controller, +which supports USB 2.0 high speed and is based on PCI. This is the +``net2280`` driver module. The driver supports Linux kernel versions 2.4 +and 2.6; contact NetChip Technologies for development boards and product +information. + +Other hardware working in the ``gadget`` framework includes: Intel's PXA +25x and IXP42x series processors (``pxa2xx_udc``), Toshiba TC86c001 +"Goku-S" (``goku_udc``), Renesas SH7705/7727 (``sh_udc``), MediaQ 11xx +(``mq11xx_udc``), Hynix HMS30C7202 (``h7202_udc``), National 9303/4 +(``n9604_udc``), Texas Instruments OMAP (``omap_udc``), Sharp LH7A40x +(``lh7a40x_udc``), and more. Most of those are full speed controllers. + +At this writing, there are people at work on drivers in this framework +for several other USB device controllers, with plans to make many of +them be widely available. + +A partial USB simulator, the ``dummy_hcd`` driver, is available. It can +act like a net2280, a pxa25x, or an sa11x0 in terms of available +endpoints and device speeds; and it simulates control, bulk, and to some +extent interrupt transfers. That lets you develop some parts of a gadget +driver on a normal PC, without any special hardware, and perhaps with +the assistance of tools such as GDB running with User Mode Linux. At +least one person has expressed interest in adapting that approach, +hooking it up to a simulator for a microcontroller. Such simulators can +help debug subsystems where the runtime hardware is unfriendly to +software development, or is not yet available. + +Support for other controllers is expected to be developed and +contributed over time, as this driver framework evolves. + +Gadget Drivers +============== + +In addition to *Gadget Zero* (used primarily for testing and development +with drivers for usb controller hardware), other gadget drivers exist. + +There's an ``ethernet`` gadget driver, which implements one of the most +useful *Communications Device Class* (CDC) models. One of the standards +for cable modem interoperability even specifies the use of this ethernet +model as one of two mandatory options. Gadgets using this code look to a +USB host as if they're an Ethernet adapter. It provides access to a +network where the gadget's CPU is one host, which could easily be +bridging, routing, or firewalling access to other networks. Since some +hardware can't fully implement the CDC Ethernet requirements, this +driver also implements a "good parts only" subset of CDC Ethernet. (That +subset doesn't advertise itself as CDC Ethernet, to avoid creating +problems.) + +Support for Microsoft's ``RNDIS`` protocol has been contributed by +Pengutronix and Auerswald GmbH. This is like CDC Ethernet, but it runs +on more slightly USB hardware (but less than the CDC subset). However, +its main claim to fame is being able to connect directly to recent +versions of Windows, using drivers that Microsoft bundles and supports, +making it much simpler to network with Windows. + +There is also support for user mode gadget drivers, using ``gadgetfs``. +This provides a *User Mode API* that presents each endpoint as a single +file descriptor. I/O is done using normal ``read()`` and ``read()`` calls. +Familiar tools like GDB and pthreads can be used to develop and debug +user mode drivers, so that once a robust controller driver is available +many applications for it won't require new kernel mode software. Linux +2.6 *Async I/O (AIO)* support is available, so that user mode software +can stream data with only slightly more overhead than a kernel driver. + +There's a USB Mass Storage class driver, which provides a different +solution for interoperability with systems such as MS-Windows and MacOS. +That *Mass Storage* driver uses a file or block device as backing store +for a drive, like the ``loop`` driver. The USB host uses the BBB, CB, or +CBI versions of the mass storage class specification, using transparent +SCSI commands to access the data from the backing store. + +There's a "serial line" driver, useful for TTY style operation over USB. +The latest version of that driver supports CDC ACM style operation, like +a USB modem, and so on most hardware it can interoperate easily with +MS-Windows. One interesting use of that driver is in boot firmware (like +a BIOS), which can sometimes use that model with very small systems +without real serial lines. + +Support for other kinds of gadget is expected to be developed and +contributed over time, as this driver framework evolves. + +USB On-The-GO (OTG) +=================== + +USB OTG support on Linux 2.6 was initially developed by Texas +Instruments for `OMAP <http://www.omap.com>`__ 16xx and 17xx series +processors. Other OTG systems should work in similar ways, but the +hardware level details could be very different. + +Systems need specialized hardware support to implement OTG, notably +including a special *Mini-AB* jack and associated transceiver to support +*Dual-Role* operation: they can act either as a host, using the standard +Linux-USB host side driver stack, or as a peripheral, using this +``gadget`` framework. To do that, the system software relies on small +additions to those programming interfaces, and on a new internal +component (here called an "OTG Controller") affecting which driver stack +connects to the OTG port. In each role, the system can re-use the +existing pool of hardware-neutral drivers, layered on top of the +controller driver interfaces (:c:type:`usb_bus` or :c:type:`usb_gadget`). +Such drivers need at most minor changes, and most of the calls added to +support OTG can also benefit non-OTG products. + +- Gadget drivers test the ``is_otg`` flag, and use it to determine + whether or not to include an OTG descriptor in each of their + configurations. + +- Gadget drivers may need changes to support the two new OTG protocols, + exposed in new gadget attributes such as ``b_hnp_enable`` flag. HNP + support should be reported through a user interface (two LEDs could + suffice), and is triggered in some cases when the host suspends the + peripheral. SRP support can be user-initiated just like remote + wakeup, probably by pressing the same button. + +- On the host side, USB device drivers need to be taught to trigger HNP + at appropriate moments, using ``usb_suspend_device()``. That also + conserves battery power, which is useful even for non-OTG + configurations. + +- Also on the host side, a driver must support the OTG "Targeted + Peripheral List". That's just a whitelist, used to reject peripherals + not supported with a given Linux OTG host. *This whitelist is + product-specific; each product must modify* ``otg_whitelist.h`` *to + match its interoperability specification.* + + Non-OTG Linux hosts, like PCs and workstations, normally have some + solution for adding drivers, so that peripherals that aren't + recognized can eventually be supported. That approach is unreasonable + for consumer products that may never have their firmware upgraded, + and where it's usually unrealistic to expect traditional + PC/workstation/server kinds of support model to work. For example, + it's often impractical to change device firmware once the product has + been distributed, so driver bugs can't normally be fixed if they're + found after shipment. + +Additional changes are needed below those hardware-neutral :c:type:`usb_bus` +and :c:type:`usb_gadget` driver interfaces; those aren't discussed here in any +detail. Those affect the hardware-specific code for each USB Host or +Peripheral controller, and how the HCD initializes (since OTG can be +active only on a single port). They also involve what may be called an +*OTG Controller Driver*, managing the OTG transceiver and the OTG state +machine logic as well as much of the root hub behavior for the OTG port. +The OTG controller driver needs to activate and deactivate USB +controllers depending on the relevant device role. Some related changes +were needed inside usbcore, so that it can identify OTG-capable devices +and respond appropriately to HNP or SRP protocols. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/usb/hotplug.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/usb/hotplug.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..c1e13107c --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/usb/hotplug.rst @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +USB hotplugging +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Linux Hotplugging +================= + + +In hotpluggable busses like USB (and Cardbus PCI), end-users plug devices +into the bus with power on. In most cases, users expect the devices to become +immediately usable. That means the system must do many things, including: + + - Find a driver that can handle the device. That may involve + loading a kernel module; newer drivers can use module-init-tools + to publish their device (and class) support to user utilities. + + - Bind a driver to that device. Bus frameworks do that using a + device driver's probe() routine. + + - Tell other subsystems to configure the new device. Print + queues may need to be enabled, networks brought up, disk + partitions mounted, and so on. In some cases these will + be driver-specific actions. + +This involves a mix of kernel mode and user mode actions. Making devices +be immediately usable means that any user mode actions can't wait for an +administrator to do them: the kernel must trigger them, either passively +(triggering some monitoring daemon to invoke a helper program) or +actively (calling such a user mode helper program directly). + +Those triggered actions must support a system's administrative policies; +such programs are called "policy agents" here. Typically they involve +shell scripts that dispatch to more familiar administration tools. + +Because some of those actions rely on information about drivers (metadata) +that is currently available only when the drivers are dynamically linked, +you get the best hotplugging when you configure a highly modular system. + +Kernel Hotplug Helper (``/sbin/hotplug``) +========================================= + +There is a kernel parameter: ``/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug``, which normally +holds the pathname ``/sbin/hotplug``. That parameter names a program +which the kernel may invoke at various times. + +The /sbin/hotplug program can be invoked by any subsystem as part of its +reaction to a configuration change, from a thread in that subsystem. +Only one parameter is required: the name of a subsystem being notified of +some kernel event. That name is used as the first key for further event +dispatch; any other argument and environment parameters are specified by +the subsystem making that invocation. + +Hotplug software and other resources is available at: + + http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net + +Mailing list information is also available at that site. + + +USB Policy Agent +================ + +The USB subsystem currently invokes ``/sbin/hotplug`` when USB devices +are added or removed from system. The invocation is done by the kernel +hub workqueue [hub_wq], or else as part of root hub initialization +(done by init, modprobe, kapmd, etc). Its single command line parameter +is the string "usb", and it passes these environment variables: + +========== ============================================ +ACTION ``add``, ``remove`` +PRODUCT USB vendor, product, and version codes (hex) +TYPE device class codes (decimal) +INTERFACE interface 0 class codes (decimal) +========== ============================================ + +If "usbdevfs" is configured, DEVICE and DEVFS are also passed. DEVICE is +the pathname of the device, and is useful for devices with multiple and/or +alternate interfaces that complicate driver selection. By design, USB +hotplugging is independent of ``usbdevfs``: you can do most essential parts +of USB device setup without using that filesystem, and without running a +user mode daemon to detect changes in system configuration. + +Currently available policy agent implementations can load drivers for +modules, and can invoke driver-specific setup scripts. The newest ones +leverage USB module-init-tools support. Later agents might unload drivers. + + +USB Modutils Support +==================== + +Current versions of module-init-tools will create a ``modules.usbmap`` file +which contains the entries from each driver's ``MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE``.

Each table entry describes one or more criteria to +be used when matching a driver to a device or class of devices. The +specific criteria are identified by bits set in "match_flags", paired +with field values. You can construct the criteria directly, or with +macros such as these, and use driver_info to store more information:: + + USB_DEVICE (vendorId, productId) + ... matching devices with specified vendor and product ids + USB_DEVICE_VER (vendorId, productId, lo, hi) + ... like USB_DEVICE with lo <= productversion <= hi + USB_INTERFACE_INFO (class, subclass, protocol) + ... matching specified interface class info + USB_DEVICE_INFO (class, subclass, protocol) + ... matching specified device class info + +A short example, for a driver that supports several specific USB devices +and their quirks, might have a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE like this:: + + static const struct usb_device_id mydriver_id_table[] = { + { USB_DEVICE (0x9999, 0xaaaa), driver_info: QUIRK_X }, + { USB_DEVICE (0xbbbb, 0x8888), driver_info: QUIRK_Y|QUIRK_Z }, + ... + { } /* end with an all-zeroes entry */ + }; + MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(usb, mydriver_id_table); + +Most USB device drivers should pass these tables to the USB subsystem as +well as to the module management subsystem.

This +is so that devices can maintain their internal state and hubs can +detect connect-change events (devices being plugged in or unplugged). +The technical term is "power session". + +If a USB device's power session is interrupted then the system is +required to behave as though the device has been unplugged. It's a +conservative approach; in the absence of suspend current the computer +has no way to know what has actually happened. Perhaps the same +device is still attached or perhaps it was removed and a different +device plugged into the port. The system must assume the worst. + +By default, Linux behaves according to the spec. If a USB host +controller loses power during a system suspend, then when the system +wakes up all the devices attached to that controller are treated as +though they had disconnected. This is always safe and it is the +"officially correct" thing to do. + +For many sorts of devices this behavior doesn't matter in the least. +If the kernel wants to believe that your USB keyboard was unplugged +while the system was asleep and a new keyboard was plugged in when the +system woke up, who cares? It'll still work the same when you type on +it. + +Unfortunately problems _can_ arise, particularly with mass-storage +devices. The effect is exactly the same as if the device really had +been unplugged while the system was suspended. If you had a mounted +filesystem on the device, you're out of luck -- everything in that +filesystem is now inaccessible. This is especially annoying if your +root filesystem was located on the device, since your system will +instantly crash. + +Loss of power isn't the only mechanism to worry about. Anything that +interrupts a power session will have the same effect. For example, +even though suspend current may have been maintained while the system +was asleep, on many systems during the initial stages of wakeup the +firmware (i.e., the BIOS) resets the motherboard's USB host +controllers. Result: all the power sessions are destroyed and again +it's as though you had unplugged all the USB devices. Yes, it's +entirely the BIOS's fault, but that doesn't do _you_ any good unless +you can convince the BIOS supplier to fix the problem (lots of luck!). + +On many systems the USB host controllers will get reset after a +suspend-to-RAM. On almost all systems, no suspend current is +available during hibernation (also known as swsusp or suspend-to-disk). +You can check the kernel log after resuming to see if either of these +has happened; look for lines saying "root hub lost power or was reset". + +In practice, people are forced to unmount any filesystems on a USB +device before suspending. If the root filesystem is on a USB device, +the system can't be suspended at all. (All right, it _can_ be +suspended -- but it will crash as soon as it wakes up, which isn't +much better.) + + +What is the solution? +===================== + +The kernel includes a feature called USB-persist. It tries to work +around these issues by allowing the core USB device data structures to +persist across a power-session disruption. + +It works like this. If the kernel sees that a USB host controller is +not in the expected state during resume (i.e., if the controller was +reset or otherwise had lost power) then it applies a persistence check +to each of the USB devices below that controller for which the +"persist" attribute is set. It doesn't try to resume the device; that +can't work once the power session is gone. Instead it issues a USB +port reset and then re-enumerates the device. (This is exactly the +same thing that happens whenever a USB device is reset.) If the +re-enumeration shows that the device now attached to that port has the +same descriptors as before, including the Vendor and Product IDs, then +the kernel continues to use the same device structure. In effect, the +kernel treats the device as though it had merely been reset instead of +unplugged. + +The same thing happens if the host controller is in the expected state +but a USB device was unplugged and then replugged, or if a USB device +fails to carry out a normal resume. + +If no device is now attached to the port, or if the descriptors are +different from what the kernel remembers, then the treatment is what +you would expect. The kernel destroys the old device structure and +behaves as though the old device had been unplugged and a new device +plugged in. + +The end result is that the USB device remains available and usable. +Filesystem mounts and memory mappings are unaffected, and the world is +now a good and happy place. + +Note that the "USB-persist" feature will be applied only to those +devices for which it is enabled. You can enable the feature by doing +(as root):: + + echo 1 >/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/persist + +where the "..." should be filled in the with the device's ID. Disable +the feature by writing 0 instead of 1. For hubs the feature is +automatically and permanently enabled and the power/persist file +doesn't even exist, so you only have to worry about setting it for +devices where it really matters. + + +Is this the best solution? +========================== + +Perhaps not. Arguably, keeping track of mounted filesystems and +memory mappings across device disconnects should be handled by a +centralized Logical Volume Manager. Such a solution would allow you +to plug in a USB flash device, create a persistent volume associated +with it, unplug the flash device, plug it back in later, and still +have the same persistent volume associated with the device. As such +it would be more far-reaching than USB-persist. + +On the other hand, writing a persistent volume manager would be a big +job and using it would require significant input from the user. This +solution is much quicker and easier -- and it exists now, a giant +point in its favor! + +Furthermore, the USB-persist feature applies to _all_ USB devices, not +just mass-storage devices. It might turn out to be equally useful for +other device types, such as network interfaces. + + +WARNING: USB-persist can be dangerous!! +======================================= + +When recovering an interrupted power session the kernel does its best +to make sure the USB device hasn't been changed; that is, the same +device is still plugged into the port as before. But the checks +aren't guaranteed to be 100% accurate. + +If you replace one USB device with another of the same type (same +manufacturer, same IDs, and so on) there's an excellent chance the +kernel won't detect the change. The serial number string and other +descriptors are compared with the kernel's stored values, but this +might not help since manufacturers frequently omit serial numbers +entirely in their devices. + +Furthermore it's quite possible to leave a USB device exactly the same +while changing its media. If you replace the flash memory card in a +USB card reader while the system is asleep, the kernel will have no +way to know you did it. The kernel will assume that nothing has +happened and will continue to use the partition tables, inodes, and +memory mappings for the old card. + +If the kernel gets fooled in this way, it's almost certain to cause +data corruption and to crash your system. You'll have no one to blame +but yourself. + +For those devices with avoid_reset_quirk attribute being set, persist +maybe fail because they may morph after reset. + +YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! + +That having been said, most of the time there shouldn't be any trouble +at all. The USB-persist feature can be extremely useful.

While a +component is ``suspended`` it is in a nonfunctional low-power state; it +might even be turned off completely. A suspended component can be +``resumed`` (returned to a functional full-power state) when the kernel +needs to use it. (There also are forms of PM in which components are +placed in a less functional but still usable state instead of being +suspended; an example would be reducing the CPU's clock rate. This +document will not discuss those other forms.) + +When the parts being suspended include the CPU and most of the rest of +the system, we speak of it as a "system suspend". When a particular +device is turned off while the system as a whole remains running, we +call it a "dynamic suspend" (also known as a "runtime suspend" or +"selective suspend"). This document concentrates mostly on how +dynamic PM is implemented in the USB subsystem, although system PM is +covered to some extent (see ``Documentation/power/*.rst`` for more +information about system PM). + +System PM support is present only if the kernel was built with +``CONFIG_SUSPEND`` or ``CONFIG_HIBERNATION`` enabled. Dynamic PM support + +for USB is present whenever +the kernel was built with ``CONFIG_PM`` enabled. + +[Historically, dynamic PM support for USB was present only if the +kernel had been built with ``CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND`` enabled (which depended on +``CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME``). Starting with the 3.10 kernel release, dynamic PM +support for USB was present whenever the kernel was built with +``CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME`` enabled. The ``CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND`` option had been +eliminated.] + + +What is Remote Wakeup? +---------------------- + +When a device has been suspended, it generally doesn't resume until +the computer tells it to. Likewise, if the entire computer has been +suspended, it generally doesn't resume until the user tells it to, say +by pressing a power button or opening the cover. + +However some devices have the capability of resuming by themselves, or +asking the kernel to resume them, or even telling the entire computer +to resume. This capability goes by several names such as "Wake On +LAN"; we will refer to it generically as "remote wakeup". When a +device is enabled for remote wakeup and it is suspended, it may resume +itself (or send a request to be resumed) in response to some external +event. Examples include a suspended keyboard resuming when a key is +pressed, or a suspended USB hub resuming when a device is plugged in. + + +When is a USB device idle? +-------------------------- + +A device is idle whenever the kernel thinks it's not busy doing +anything important and thus is a candidate for being suspended. The +exact definition depends on the device's driver; drivers are allowed +to declare that a device isn't idle even when there's no actual +communication taking place. (For example, a hub isn't considered idle +unless all the devices plugged into that hub are already suspended.) +In addition, a device isn't considered idle so long as a program keeps +its usbfs file open, whether or not any I/O is going on. + +If a USB device has no driver, its usbfs file isn't open, and it isn't +being accessed through sysfs, then it definitely is idle. + + +Forms of dynamic PM +------------------- + +Dynamic suspends occur when the kernel decides to suspend an idle +device. This is called ``autosuspend`` for short. In general, a device +won't be autosuspended unless it has been idle for some minimum period +of time, the so-called idle-delay time. + +Of course, nothing the kernel does on its own initiative should +prevent the computer or its devices from working properly. If a +device has been autosuspended and a program tries to use it, the +kernel will automatically resume the device (autoresume). For the +same reason, an autosuspended device will usually have remote wakeup +enabled, if the device supports remote wakeup. + +It is worth mentioning that many USB drivers don't support +autosuspend. In fact, at the time of this writing (Linux 2.6.23) the +only drivers which do support it are the hub driver, kaweth, asix, +usblp, usblcd, and usb-skeleton (which doesn't count). If a +non-supporting driver is bound to a device, the device won't be +autosuspended. In effect, the kernel pretends the device is never +idle. + +We can categorize power management events in two broad classes: +external and internal. External events are those triggered by some +agent outside the USB stack: system suspend/resume (triggered by +userspace), manual dynamic resume (also triggered by userspace), and +remote wakeup (triggered by the device). Internal events are those +triggered within the USB stack: autosuspend and autoresume. Note that +all dynamic suspend events are internal; external agents are not +allowed to issue dynamic suspends. + + +The user interface for dynamic PM +--------------------------------- + +The user interface for controlling dynamic PM is located in the ``power/`` +subdirectory of each USB device's sysfs directory, that is, in +``/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/`` where "..." is the device's ID. The +relevant attribute files are: wakeup, control, and +``autosuspend_delay_ms``. (There may also be a file named ``level``; this +file was deprecated as of the 2.6.35 kernel and replaced by the +``control`` file. In 2.6.38 the ``autosuspend`` file will be deprecated +and replaced by the ``autosuspend_delay_ms`` file. The only difference +is that the newer file expresses the delay in milliseconds whereas the +older file uses seconds. Confusingly, both files are present in 2.6.37 +but only ``autosuspend`` works.) + + ``power/wakeup`` + + This file is empty if the device does not support + remote wakeup. Otherwise the file contains either the + word ``enabled`` or the word ``disabled``, and you can + write those words to the file. The setting determines + whether or not remote wakeup will be enabled when the + device is next suspended. (If the setting is changed + while the device is suspended, the change won't take + effect until the following suspend.) + + ``power/control`` + + This file contains one of two words: ``on`` or ``auto``. + You can write those words to the file to change the + device's setting. + + - ``on`` means that the device should be resumed and + autosuspend is not allowed. (Of course, system + suspends are still allowed.) + + - ``auto`` is the normal state in which the kernel is + allowed to autosuspend and autoresume the device. + + (In kernels up to 2.6.32, you could also specify + ``suspend``, meaning that the device should remain + suspended and autoresume was not allowed. This + setting is no longer supported.) + + ``power/autosuspend_delay_ms`` + + This file contains an integer value, which is the + number of milliseconds the device should remain idle + before the kernel will autosuspend it (the idle-delay + time). The default is 2000. 0 means to autosuspend + as soon as the device becomes idle, and negative + values mean never to autosuspend. You can write a + number to the file to change the autosuspend + idle-delay time. + +Writing ``-1`` to ``power/autosuspend_delay_ms`` and writing ``on`` to +``power/control`` do essentially the same thing -- they both prevent the +device from being autosuspended. Yes, this is a redundancy in the +API. + +(In 2.6.21 writing ``0`` to ``power/autosuspend`` would prevent the device +from being autosuspended; the behavior was changed in 2.6.22. The +``power/autosuspend`` attribute did not exist prior to 2.6.21, and the +``power/level`` attribute did not exist prior to 2.6.22. ``power/control`` +was added in 2.6.34, and ``power/autosuspend_delay_ms`` was added in +2.6.37 but did not become functional until 2.6.38.) + + +Changing the default idle-delay time +------------------------------------ + +The default autosuspend idle-delay time (in seconds) is controlled by +a module parameter in usbcore. You can specify the value when usbcore +is loaded. For example, to set it to 5 seconds instead of 2 you would +do:: + + modprobe usbcore autosuspend=5 + +Equivalently, you could add to a configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d +a line saying:: + + options usbcore autosuspend=5 + +Some distributions load the usbcore module very early during the boot +process, by means of a program or script running from an initramfs +image. To alter the parameter value you would have to rebuild that +image. + +If usbcore is compiled into the kernel rather than built as a loadable +module, you can add:: + + usbcore.autosuspend=5 + +to the kernel's boot command line. + +Finally, the parameter value can be changed while the system is +running. If you do:: + + echo 5 >/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend + +then each new USB device will have its autosuspend idle-delay +initialized to 5. (The idle-delay values for already existing devices +will not be affected.) + +Setting the initial default idle-delay to -1 will prevent any +autosuspend of any USB device. This has the benefit of allowing you +then to enable autosuspend for selected devices. + + +Warnings +-------- + +The USB specification states that all USB devices must support power +management. Nevertheless, the sad fact is that many devices do not +support it very well. You can suspend them all right, but when you +try to resume them they disconnect themselves from the USB bus or +they stop working entirely. This seems to be especially prevalent +among printers and scanners, but plenty of other types of device have +the same deficiency. + +For this reason, by default the kernel disables autosuspend (the +``power/control`` attribute is initialized to ``on``) for all devices other +than hubs. Hubs, at least, appear to be reasonably well-behaved in +this regard. + +(In 2.6.21 and 2.6.22 this wasn't the case. Autosuspend was enabled +by default for almost all USB devices. A number of people experienced +problems as a result.) + +This means that non-hub devices won't be autosuspended unless the user +or a program explicitly enables it. As of this writing there aren't +any widespread programs which will do this; we hope that in the near +future device managers such as HAL will take on this added +responsibility. In the meantime you can always carry out the +necessary operations by hand or add them to a udev script. You can +also change the idle-delay time; 2 seconds is not the best choice for +every device. + +If a driver knows that its device has proper suspend/resume support, +it can enable autosuspend all by itself. For example, the video +driver for a laptop's webcam might do this (in recent kernels they +do), since these devices are rarely used and so should normally be +autosuspended. + +Sometimes it turns out that even when a device does work okay with +autosuspend there are still problems. For example, the usbhid driver, +which manages keyboards and mice, has autosuspend support. Tests with +a number of keyboards show that typing on a suspended keyboard, while +causing the keyboard to do a remote wakeup all right, will nonetheless +frequently result in lost keystrokes. Tests with mice show that some +of them will issue a remote-wakeup request in response to button +presses but not to motion, and some in response to neither. + +The kernel will not prevent you from enabling autosuspend on devices +that can't handle it. It is even possible in theory to damage a +device by suspending it at the wrong time. (Highly unlikely, but +possible.) Take care. + + +The driver interface for Power Management +----------------------------------------- + +The requirements for a USB driver to support external power management +are pretty modest; the driver need only define:: + + .suspend + .resume + .reset_resume + +methods in its :c:type:`usb_driver` structure, and the ``reset_resume`` method +is optional. The methods' jobs are quite simple: + + - The ``suspend`` method is called to warn the driver that the + device is going to be suspended. If the driver returns a + negative error code, the suspend will be aborted. Normally + the driver will return 0, in which case it must cancel all + outstanding URBs (:c:func:`usb_kill_urb`) and not submit any more. + + - The ``resume`` method is called to tell the driver that the + device has been resumed and the driver can return to normal + operation. URBs may once more be submitted. + + - The ``reset_resume`` method is called to tell the driver that + the device has been resumed and it also has been reset. + The driver should redo any necessary device initialization, + since the device has probably lost most or all of its state + (although the interfaces will be in the same altsettings as + before the suspend). + +If the device is disconnected or powered down while it is suspended, +the ``disconnect`` method will be called instead of the ``resume`` or +``reset_resume`` method. This is also quite likely to happen when +waking up from hibernation, as many systems do not maintain suspend +current to the USB host controllers during hibernation. (It's +possible to work around the hibernation-forces-disconnect problem by +using the USB Persist facility.) + +The ``reset_resume`` method is used by the USB Persist facility (see +:ref:`usb-persist`) and it can also be used under certain +circumstances when ``CONFIG_USB_PERSIST`` is not enabled. Currently, if a +device is reset during a resume and the driver does not have a +``reset_resume`` method, the driver won't receive any notification about +the resume. Later kernels will call the driver's ``disconnect`` method; +2.6.23 doesn't do this. + +USB drivers are bound to interfaces, so their ``suspend`` and ``resume`` +methods get called when the interfaces are suspended or resumed. In +principle one might want to suspend some interfaces on a device (i.e., +force the drivers for those interface to stop all activity) without +suspending the other interfaces. The USB core doesn't allow this; all +interfaces are suspended when the device itself is suspended and all +interfaces are resumed when the device is resumed. It isn't possible +to suspend or resume some but not all of a device's interfaces. The +closest you can come is to unbind the interfaces' drivers. + + +The driver interface for autosuspend and autoresume +--------------------------------------------------- + +To support autosuspend and autoresume, a driver should implement all +three of the methods listed above. In addition, a driver indicates +that it supports autosuspend by setting the ``.supports_autosuspend`` flag +in its usb_driver structure. It is then responsible for informing the +USB core whenever one of its interfaces becomes busy or idle. The +driver does so by calling these six functions:: + + int usb_autopm_get_interface(struct usb_interface *intf); + void usb_autopm_put_interface(struct usb_interface *intf); + int usb_autopm_get_interface_async(struct usb_interface *intf); + void usb_autopm_put_interface_async(struct usb_interface *intf); + void usb_autopm_get_interface_no_resume(struct usb_interface *intf); + void usb_autopm_put_interface_no_suspend(struct usb_interface *intf); + +The functions work by maintaining a usage counter in the +usb_interface's embedded device structure. When the counter is > 0 +then the interface is deemed to be busy, and the kernel will not +autosuspend the interface's device. When the usage counter is = 0 +then the interface is considered to be idle, and the kernel may +autosuspend the device. + +Drivers must be careful to balance their overall changes to the usage +counter. Unbalanced "get"s will remain in effect when a driver is +unbound from its interface, preventing the device from going into +runtime suspend should the interface be bound to a driver again. On +the other hand, drivers are allowed to achieve this balance by calling +the ``usb_autopm_*`` functions even after their ``disconnect`` routine +has returned -- say from within a work-queue routine -- provided they +retain an active reference to the interface (via ``usb_get_intf`` and +``usb_put_intf``). + +Drivers using the async routines are responsible for their own +synchronization and mutual exclusion. + + :c:func:`usb_autopm_get_interface` increments the usage counter and + does an autoresume if the device is suspended. If the + autoresume fails, the counter is decremented back. + + :c:func:`usb_autopm_put_interface` decrements the usage counter and + attempts an autosuspend if the new value is = 0. + + :c:func:`usb_autopm_get_interface_async` and + :c:func:`usb_autopm_put_interface_async` do almost the same things as + their non-async counterparts. The big difference is that they + use a workqueue to do the resume or suspend part of their + jobs. As a result they can be called in an atomic context, + such as an URB's completion handler, but when they return the + device will generally not yet be in the desired state. + + :c:func:`usb_autopm_get_interface_no_resume` and + :c:func:`usb_autopm_put_interface_no_suspend` merely increment or + decrement the usage counter; they do not attempt to carry out + an autoresume or an autosuspend. Hence they can be called in + an atomic context. + +The simplest usage pattern is that a driver calls +:c:func:`usb_autopm_get_interface` in its open routine and +:c:func:`usb_autopm_put_interface` in its close or release routine. But other +patterns are possible. + +The autosuspend attempts mentioned above will often fail for one +reason or another. For example, the ``power/control`` attribute might be +set to ``on``, or another interface in the same device might not be +idle. This is perfectly normal. If the reason for failure was that +the device hasn't been idle for long enough, a timer is scheduled to +carry out the operation automatically when the autosuspend idle-delay +has expired. + +Autoresume attempts also can fail, although failure would mean that +the device is no longer present or operating properly. Unlike +autosuspend, there's no idle-delay for an autoresume. + + +Other parts of the driver interface +----------------------------------- + +Drivers can enable autosuspend for their devices by calling:: + + usb_enable_autosuspend(struct usb_device *udev); + +in their :c:func:`probe` routine, if they know that the device is capable of +suspending and resuming correctly. This is exactly equivalent to +writing ``auto`` to the device's ``power/control`` attribute. Likewise, +drivers can disable autosuspend by calling:: + + usb_disable_autosuspend(struct usb_device *udev); + +This is exactly the same as writing ``on`` to the ``power/control`` attribute. + +Sometimes a driver needs to make sure that remote wakeup is enabled +during autosuspend. For example, there's not much point +autosuspending a keyboard if the user can't cause the keyboard to do a +remote wakeup by typing on it. If the driver sets +``intf->needs_remote_wakeup`` to 1, the kernel won't autosuspend the +device if remote wakeup isn't available. (If the device is already +autosuspended, though, setting this flag won't cause the kernel to +autoresume it. Normally a driver would set this flag in its ``probe`` +method, at which time the device is guaranteed not to be +autosuspended.) + +If a driver does its I/O asynchronously in interrupt context, it +should call :c:func:`usb_autopm_get_interface_async` before starting output and +:c:func:`usb_autopm_put_interface_async` when the output queue drains. When +it receives an input event, it should call:: + + usb_mark_last_busy(struct usb_device *udev); + +in the event handler. This tells the PM core that the device was just +busy and therefore the next autosuspend idle-delay expiration should +be pushed back. Many of the usb_autopm_* routines also make this call, +so drivers need to worry only when interrupt-driven input arrives. + +Asynchronous operation is always subject to races. For example, a +driver may call the :c:func:`usb_autopm_get_interface_async` routine at a time +when the core has just finished deciding the device has been idle for +long enough but not yet gotten around to calling the driver's ``suspend`` +method. The ``suspend`` method must be responsible for synchronizing with +the I/O request routine and the URB completion handler; it should +cause autosuspends to fail with -EBUSY if the driver needs to use the +device. + +External suspend calls should never be allowed to fail in this way, +only autosuspend calls. The driver can tell them apart by applying +the :c:func:`PMSG_IS_AUTO` macro to the message argument to the ``suspend`` +method; it will return True for internal PM events (autosuspend) and +False for external PM events. + + +Mutual exclusion +---------------- + +For external events -- but not necessarily for autosuspend or +autoresume -- the device semaphore (udev->dev.sem) will be held when a +``suspend`` or ``resume`` method is called. This implies that external +suspend/resume events are mutually exclusive with calls to ``probe``, +``disconnect``, ``pre_reset``, and ``post_reset``; the USB core guarantees that +this is true of autosuspend/autoresume events as well. + +If a driver wants to block all suspend/resume calls during some +critical section, the best way is to lock the device and call +:c:func:`usb_autopm_get_interface` (and do the reverse at the end of the +critical section). Holding the device semaphore will block all +external PM calls, and the :c:func:`usb_autopm_get_interface` will prevent any +internal PM calls, even if it fails. (Exercise: Why?) + + +Interaction between dynamic PM and system PM +-------------------------------------------- + +Dynamic power management and system power management can interact in +a couple of ways. + +Firstly, a device may already be autosuspended when a system suspend +occurs. Since system suspends are supposed to be as transparent as +possible, the device should remain suspended following the system +resume. But this theory may not work out well in practice; over time +the kernel's behavior in this regard has changed. As of 2.6.37 the +policy is to resume all devices during a system resume and let them +handle their own runtime suspends afterward. + +Secondly, a dynamic power-management event may occur as a system +suspend is underway. The window for this is short, since system +suspends don't take long (a few seconds usually), but it can happen. +For example, a suspended device may send a remote-wakeup signal while +the system is suspending. The remote wakeup may succeed, which would +cause the system suspend to abort. If the remote wakeup doesn't +succeed, it may still remain active and thus cause the system to +resume as soon as the system suspend is complete. Or the remote +wakeup may fail and get lost. Which outcome occurs depends on timing +and on the hardware and firmware design. + + +xHCI hardware link PM +--------------------- + +xHCI host controller provides hardware link power management to usb2.0 +(xHCI 1.0 feature) and usb3.0 devices which support link PM. By +enabling hardware LPM, the host can automatically put the device into +lower power state(L1 for usb2.0 devices, or U1/U2 for usb3.0 devices), +which state device can enter and resume very quickly. + +The user interface for controlling hardware LPM is located in the +``power/`` subdirectory of each USB device's sysfs directory, that is, in +``/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/`` where "..." is the device's ID. The +relevant attribute files are ``usb2_hardware_lpm`` and ``usb3_hardware_lpm``. + + ``power/usb2_hardware_lpm`` + + When a USB2 device which support LPM is plugged to a + xHCI host root hub which support software LPM, the + host will run a software LPM test for it; if the device + enters L1 state and resume successfully and the host + supports USB2 hardware LPM, this file will show up and + driver will enable hardware LPM for the device. You + can write y/Y/1 or n/N/0 to the file to enable/disable + USB2 hardware LPM manually. This is for test purpose mainly. + + ``power/usb3_hardware_lpm_u1`` + ``power/usb3_hardware_lpm_u2`` + + When a USB 3.0 lpm-capable device is plugged in to a + xHCI host which supports link PM, it will check if U1 + and U2 exit latencies have been set in the BOS + descriptor; if the check is passed and the host + supports USB3 hardware LPM, USB3 hardware LPM will be + enabled for the device and these files will be created. + The files hold a string value (enable or disable) + indicating whether or not USB3 hardware LPM U1 or U2 + is enabled for the device. + +USB Port Power Control +---------------------- + +In addition to suspending endpoint devices and enabling hardware +controlled link power management, the USB subsystem also has the +capability to disable power to ports under some conditions. Power is +controlled through ``Set/ClearPortFeature(PORT_POWER)`` requests to a hub. +In the case of a root or platform-internal hub the host controller +driver translates ``PORT_POWER`` requests into platform firmware (ACPI) +method calls to set the port power state. For more background see the +Linux Plumbers Conference 2012 slides [#f1]_ and video [#f2]_: + +Upon receiving a ``ClearPortFeature(PORT_POWER)`` request a USB port is +logically off, and may trigger the actual loss of VBUS to the port [#f3]_. +VBUS may be maintained in the case where a hub gangs multiple ports into +a shared power well causing power to remain until all ports in the gang +are turned off. VBUS may also be maintained by hub ports configured for +a charging application. In any event a logically off port will lose +connection with its device, not respond to hotplug events, and not +respond to remote wakeup events. + +.. warning:: + + turning off a port may result in the inability to hot add a device. + Please see "User Interface for Port Power Control" for details. + +As far as the effect on the device itself it is similar to what a device +goes through during system suspend, i.e. the power session is lost. Any +USB device or driver that misbehaves with system suspend will be +similarly affected by a port power cycle event. For this reason the +implementation shares the same device recovery path (and honors the same +quirks) as the system resume path for the hub. + +..

Poweroff is +requested by clearing the ``power/pm_qos_no_power_off`` flag of the port device +(defaults to 1). If the port is disconnected it will immediately receive a +``ClearPortFeature(PORT_POWER)`` request. Otherwise, it will honor the pm +runtime rules and require the attached child device and all descendants to be +suspended. This mechanism is dependent on the hub advertising port power +switching in its hub descriptor (wHubCharacteristics logical power switching +mode field). + +Note, some interface devices/drivers do not support autosuspend. Userspace may +need to unbind the interface drivers before the :c:type:`usb_device` will +suspend. An unbound interface device is suspended by default. When unbinding, +be careful to unbind interface drivers, not the driver of the parent usb +device. Also, leave hub interface drivers bound. If the driver for the usb +device (not interface) is unbound the kernel is no longer able to resume the +device. If a hub interface driver is unbound, control of its child ports is +lost and all attached child-devices will disconnect. A good rule of thumb is +that if the 'driver/module' link for a device points to +``/sys/module/usbcore`` then unbinding it will interfere with port power +control. + +Example of the relevant files for port power control. Note, in this example +these files are relative to a usb hub device (prefix):: + + prefix=/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-1 + + attached child device + + hub port device + | + hub interface device + | | + v v v + $prefix/3-1:1.0/3-1-port1/device + + $prefix/3-1:1.0/3-1-port1/power/pm_qos_no_power_off + $prefix/3-1:1.0/3-1-port1/device/power/control + $prefix/3-1:1.0/3-1-port1/device/3-1.1:<intf0>/driver/unbind + $prefix/3-1:1.0/3-1-port1/device/3-1.1:<intf1>/driver/unbind + ... + $prefix/3-1:1.0/3-1-port1/device/3-1.1:<intfN>/driver/unbind + +In addition to these files some ports may have a 'peer' link to a port on +another hub. The expectation is that all superspeed ports have a +hi-speed peer:: + + $prefix/3-1:1.0/3-1-port1/peer -> ../../../../usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/2-1-port1 + ../../../../usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/2-1-port1/peer -> ../../../../usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/3-1-port1 + +Distinct from 'companion ports', or 'ehci/xhci shared switchover ports' +peer ports are simply the hi-speed and superspeed interface pins that +are combined into a single usb3 connector. Peer ports share the same +ancestor XHCI device. + +While a superspeed port is powered off a device may downgrade its +connection and attempt to connect to the hi-speed pins. The +implementation takes steps to prevent this: + +1. Port suspend is sequenced to guarantee that hi-speed ports are powered-off + before their superspeed peer is permitted to power-off. The implication is + that the setting ``pm_qos_no_power_off`` to zero on a superspeed port may + not cause the port to power-off until its highspeed peer has gone to its + runtime suspend state. Userspace must take care to order the suspensions + if it wants to guarantee that a superspeed port will power-off. + +2. Port resume is sequenced to force a superspeed port to power-on prior to its + highspeed peer. + +3. Port resume always triggers an attached child device to resume. After a + power session is lost the device may have been removed, or need reset. + Resuming the child device when the parent port regains power resolves those + states and clamps the maximum port power cycle frequency at the rate the + child device can suspend (autosuspend-delay) and resume (reset-resume + latency). + +Sysfs files relevant for port power control: + + ``<hubdev-portX>/power/pm_qos_no_power_off``: + This writable flag controls the state of an idle port. + Once all children and descendants have suspended the + port may suspend/poweroff provided that + pm_qos_no_power_off is '0'. If pm_qos_no_power_off is + '1' the port will remain active/powered regardless of + the stats of descendants. Defaults to 1. + + ``<hubdev-portX>/power/runtime_status``: + This file reflects whether the port is 'active' (power is on) + or 'suspended' (logically off). There is no indication to + userspace whether VBUS is still supplied. + + ``<hubdev-portX>/connect_type``: + An advisory read-only flag to userspace indicating the + location and connection type of the port. It returns + one of four values 'hotplug', 'hardwired', 'not used', + and 'unknown'. All values, besides unknown, are set by + platform firmware. + + ``hotplug`` indicates an externally connectable/visible + port on the platform. Typically userspace would choose + to keep such a port powered to handle new device + connection events. + + ``hardwired`` refers to a port that is not visible but + connectable. Examples are internal ports for USB + bluetooth that can be disconnected via an external + switch or a port with a hardwired USB camera. It is + expected to be safe to allow these ports to suspend + provided pm_qos_no_power_off is coordinated with any + switch that gates connections. Userspace must arrange + for the device to be connected prior to the port + powering off, or to activate the port prior to enabling + connection via a switch. + + ``not used`` refers to an internal port that is expected + to never have a device connected to it. These may be + empty internal ports, or ports that are not physically + exposed on a platform. Considered safe to be + powered-off at all times. + + ``unknown`` means platform firmware does not provide + information for this port. Most commonly refers to + external hub ports which should be considered 'hotplug' + for policy decisions. + + .. note:: + + - since we are relying on the BIOS to get this ACPI + information correct, the USB port descriptions may + be missing or wrong. + + - Take care in clearing ``pm_qos_no_power_off``. Once + power is off this port will + not respond to new connect events. + + Once a child device is attached additional constraints are + applied before the port is allowed to poweroff. + + ``<child>/power/control``: + Must be ``auto``, and the port will not + power down until ``<child>/power/runtime_status`` + reflects the 'suspended' state. Default + value is controlled by child device driver. + + ``<child>/power/persist``: + This defaults to ``1`` for most devices and indicates if + kernel can persist the device's configuration across a + power session loss (suspend / port-power event). When + this value is ``0`` (quirky devices), port poweroff is + disabled. + + ``<child>/driver/unbind``: + Wakeup capable devices will block port poweroff. At + this time the only mechanism to clear the usb-internal + wakeup-capability for an interface device is to unbind + its driver. + +Summary of poweroff pre-requisite settings relative to a port device:: + + echo 0 > power/pm_qos_no_power_off + echo 0 > peer/power/pm_qos_no_power_off # if it exists + echo auto > power/control # this is the default value + echo auto > <child>/power/control + echo 1 > <child>/power/persist # this is the default value + +Suggested Userspace Port Power Policy +------------------------------------- + +As noted above userspace needs to be careful and deliberate about what +ports are enabled for poweroff. + +The default configuration is that all ports start with +``power/pm_qos_no_power_off`` set to ``1`` causing ports to always remain +active. + +Given confidence in the platform firmware's description of the ports +(ACPI _PLD record for a port populates 'connect_type') userspace can +clear pm_qos_no_power_off for all 'not used' ports. The same can be +done for 'hardwired' ports provided poweroff is coordinated with any +connection switch for the port. + +A more aggressive userspace policy is to enable USB port power off for +all ports (set ``<hubdev-portX>/power/pm_qos_no_power_off`` to ``0``) when +some external factor indicates the user has stopped interacting with the +system. For example, a distro may want to enable power off all USB +ports when the screen blanks, and re-power them when the screen becomes +active. Smart phones and tablets may want to power off USB ports when +the user pushes the power button. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/usb/typec.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/usb/typec.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..201163d8c --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/usb/typec.rst @@ -0,0 +1,234 @@ +.. _typec: + +USB Type-C connector class +========================== + +Introduction +------------ + +The typec class is meant for describing the USB Type-C ports in a system to the +user space in unified fashion.

In a normal case the registration will be done by a USB Type-C or PD PHY +driver, but it may be a driver for firmware interface such as UCSI, driver for +USB PD controller or even driver for Thunderbolt3 controller.

The drivers for the alternate modes are bound to the partner alternate +mode devices, and the port alternate mode devices must be handled by the port +drivers. + +When a new partner alternate mode device is registered, it is linked to the +alternate mode device of the port that the partner is attached to, that has +matching SVID and mode. Communication between the port driver and alternate mode +driver will happen using the same API. + +The port alternate mode devices are used as a proxy between the partner and the +alternate mode drivers, so the port drivers are only expected to pass the SVID +specific commands from the alternate mode drivers to the partner, and from the +partners to the alternate mode drivers. No direct SVID specific communication is +needed from the port drivers, but the port drivers need to provide the operation +callbacks for the port alternate mode devices, just like the alternate mode +drivers need to provide them for the partner alternate mode devices. + +Usage: +------ + +General +~~~~~~~ + +By default, the alternate mode drivers are responsible for entering the mode. +It is also possible to leave the decision about entering the mode to the user +space (See Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-typec). Port drivers should not +enter any modes on their own. + +``->vdm`` is the most important callback in the operation callbacks vector. It +will be used to deliver all the SVID specific commands from the partner to the +alternate mode driver, and vice versa in case of port drivers. The drivers send +the SVID specific commands to each other using :c:func:`typec_altmode_vdm()`. + +If the communication with the partner using the SVID specific commands results +in need to reconfigure the pins on the connector, the alternate mode driver +needs to notify the bus using :c:func:`typec_altmode_notify()`. The driver +passes the negotiated SVID specific pin configuration value to the function as +parameter. The bus driver will then configure the mux behind the connector using +that value as the state value for the mux. + +NOTE: The SVID specific pin configuration values must always start from +``TYPEC_STATE_MODAL``. USB Type-C specification defines two default states for +the connector: ``TYPEC_STATE_USB`` and ``TYPEC_STATE_SAFE``. These values are +reserved by the bus as the first possible values for the state. When the +alternate mode is entered, the bus will put the connector into +``TYPEC_STATE_SAFE`` before sending Enter or Exit Mode command as defined in USB +Type-C Specification, and also put the connector back to ``TYPEC_STATE_USB`` +after the mode has been exited. + +An example of working definitions for SVID specific pin configurations would +look like this:: + + enum { + ALTMODEX_CONF_A = TYPEC_STATE_MODAL, + ALTMODEX_CONF_B, + ... + }; + +Helper macro ``TYPEC_MODAL_STATE()`` can also be used:: + +#define ALTMODEX_CONF_A = TYPEC_MODAL_STATE(0); +#define ALTMODEX_CONF_B = TYPEC_MODAL_STATE(1); + +Cable plug alternate modes +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The alternate mode drivers are not bound to cable plug alternate mode devices, +only to the partner alternate mode devices.

USB uses a tree +structure, with the host as the root (the system's master), hubs as +interior nodes, and peripherals as leaves (and slaves). Modern PCs +support several such trees of USB devices, usually +a few USB 3.0 (5 GBit/s) or USB 3.1 (10 GBit/s) and some legacy +USB 2.0 (480 MBit/s) busses just in case. + +That master/slave asymmetry was designed-in for a number of reasons, one +being ease of use. It is not physically possible to mistake upstream and +downstream or it does not matter with a type C plug (or they are built into the +peripheral). Also, the host software doesn't need to deal with +distributed auto-configuration since the pre-designated master node +manages all that. + +Kernel developers added USB support to Linux early in the 2.2 kernel +series and have been developing it further since then. Besides support +for each new generation of USB, various host controllers gained support, +new drivers for peripherals have been added and advanced features for latency +measurement and improved power management introduced. + +Linux can run inside USB devices as well as on the hosts that control +the devices. But USB device drivers running inside those peripherals +don't do the same things as the ones running inside hosts, so they've +been given a different name: *gadget drivers*. This document does not +cover gadget drivers. + +USB Host-Side API Model +======================= + +Host-side drivers for USB devices talk to the "usbcore" APIs. There are +two. One is intended for *general-purpose* drivers (exposed through +driver frameworks), and the other is for drivers that are *part of the +core*. Such core drivers include the *hub* driver (which manages trees +of USB devices) and several different kinds of *host controller +drivers*, which control individual busses. + +The device model seen by USB drivers is relatively complex. + +- USB supports four kinds of data transfers (control, bulk, interrupt, + and isochronous). Two of them (control and bulk) use bandwidth as + it's available, while the other two (interrupt and isochronous) are + scheduled to provide guaranteed bandwidth. + +- The device description model includes one or more "configurations" + per device, only one of which is active at a time. Devices are supposed + to be capable of operating at lower than their top + speeds and may provide a BOS descriptor showing the lowest speed they + remain fully operational at. + +- From USB 3.0 on configurations have one or more "functions", which + provide a common functionality and are grouped together for purposes + of power management. + +- Configurations or functions have one or more "interfaces", each of which may have + "alternate settings". Interfaces may be standardized by USB "Class" + specifications, or may be specific to a vendor or device. + + USB device drivers actually bind to interfaces, not devices. Think of + them as "interface drivers", though you may not see many devices + where the distinction is important. *Most USB devices are simple, + with only one function, one configuration, one interface, and one alternate + setting.* + +- Interfaces have one or more "endpoints", each of which supports one + type and direction of data transfer such as "bulk out" or "interrupt + in". The entire configuration may have up to sixteen endpoints in + each direction, allocated as needed among all the interfaces. + +- Data transfer on USB is packetized; each endpoint has a maximum + packet size. Drivers must often be aware of conventions such as + flagging the end of bulk transfers using "short" (including zero + length) packets. + +- The Linux USB API supports synchronous calls for control and bulk + messages. It also supports asynchronous calls for all kinds of data + transfer, using request structures called "URBs" (USB Request + Blocks). + +Accordingly, the USB Core API exposed to device drivers covers quite a +lot of territory. You'll probably need to consult the USB 3.0 +specification, available online from www.usb.org at no cost, as well as +class or device specifications. + +The only host-side drivers that actually touch hardware (reading/writing +registers, handling IRQs, and so on) are the HCDs. In theory, all HCDs +provide the same functionality through the same API. In practice, that's +becoming more true, but there are still differences +that crop up especially with fault handling on the less common controllers. +Different controllers don't +necessarily report the same aspects of failures, and recovery from +faults (including software-induced ones like unlinking an URB) isn't yet +fully consistent. Device driver authors should make a point of doing +disconnect testing (while the device is active) with each different host +controller driver, to make sure drivers don't have bugs of their own as +well as to make sure they aren't relying on some HCD-specific behavior. + +.. _usb_chapter9: + +USB-Standard Types +================== + +In ``include/uapi/linux/usb/ch9.h`` you will find the USB data types defined +in chapter 9 of the USB specification. These data types are used throughout +USB, and in APIs including this host side API, gadget APIs, usb character +devices and debugfs interfaces. That file is itself included by +``include/linux/usb/ch9.h``, which also contains declarations of a few +utility routines for manipulating these data types; the implementations +are in ``drivers/usb/common/common.c``. + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/common/common.c + :export: + +In addition, some functions useful for creating debugging output are +defined in ``drivers/usb/common/debug.c``. + +.. _usb_header: + +Host-Side Data Types and Macros +=============================== + +The host side API exposes several layers to drivers, some of which are +more necessary than others. These support lifecycle models for host side +drivers and devices, and support passing buffers through usbcore to some +HCD that performs the I/O for the device driver. + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/usb.h + :internal: + +USB Core APIs +============= + +There are two basic I/O models in the USB API. The most elemental one is +asynchronous: drivers submit requests in the form of an URB, and the +URB's completion callback handles the next step. All USB transfer types +support that model, although there are special cases for control URBs +(which always have setup and status stages, but may not have a data +stage) and isochronous URBs (which allow large packets and include +per-packet fault reports). Built on top of that is synchronous API +support, where a driver calls a routine that allocates one or more URBs, +submits them, and waits until they complete. There are synchronous +wrappers for single-buffer control and bulk transfers (which are awkward +to use in some driver disconnect scenarios), and for scatterlist based +streaming i/o (bulk or interrupt). + +USB drivers need to provide buffers that can be used for DMA, although +they don't necessarily need to provide the DMA mapping themselves. There +are APIs to use used when allocating DMA buffers, which can prevent use +of bounce buffers on some systems. In some cases, drivers may be able to +rely on 64bit DMA to eliminate another kind of bounce buffer. + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/core/urb.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/core/message.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/core/file.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/core/driver.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/core/usb.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/core/hub.c + :export: + +Host Controller APIs +==================== + +These APIs are only for use by host controller drivers, most of which +implement standard register interfaces such as XHCI, EHCI, OHCI, or UHCI. UHCI +was one of the first interfaces, designed by Intel and also used by VIA; +it doesn't do much in hardware. OHCI was designed later, to have the +hardware do more work (bigger transfers, tracking protocol state, and so +on). EHCI was designed with USB 2.0; its design has features that +resemble OHCI (hardware does much more work) as well as UHCI (some parts +of ISO support, TD list processing). XHCI was designed with USB 3.0. It +continues to shift support for functionality into hardware. + +There are host controllers other than the "big three", although most PCI +based controllers (and a few non-PCI based ones) use one of those +interfaces. Not all host controllers use DMA; some use PIO, and there is +also a simulator and a virtual host controller to pipe USB over the network. + +The same basic APIs are available to drivers for all those controllers. +For historical reasons they are in two layers: :c:type:`struct +usb_bus <usb_bus>` is a rather thin layer that became available +in the 2.2 kernels, while :c:type:`struct usb_hcd <usb_hcd>` +is a more featureful layer +that lets HCDs share common code, to shrink driver size and +significantly reduce hcd-specific behaviors. + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/core/hcd.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/core/hcd-pci.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/core/buffer.c + :internal: + +The USB character device nodes +============================== + +This chapter presents the Linux character device nodes. You may prefer +to avoid writing new kernel code for your USB driver. User mode device +drivers are usually packaged as applications or libraries, and may use +character devices through some programming library that wraps it. +Such libraries include: + + - `libusb <http://libusb.sourceforge.net>`__ for C/C++, and + - `jUSB <http://jUSB.sourceforge.net>`__ for Java. + +Some old information about it can be seen at the "USB Device Filesystem" +section of the USB Guide. The latest copy of the USB Guide can be found +at http://www.linux-usb.org/ + +.. note:: + + - They were used to be implemented via *usbfs*, but this is not part of + the sysfs debug interface. + + - This particular documentation is incomplete, especially with respect + to the asynchronous mode. As of kernel 2.5.66 the code and this + (new) documentation need to be cross-reviewed. + +What files are in "devtmpfs"? +----------------------------- + +Conventionally mounted at ``/dev/bus/usb/``, usbfs features include: + +- ``/dev/bus/usb/BBB/DDD`` ... magic files exposing the each device's + configuration descriptors, and supporting a series of ioctls for + making device requests, including I/O to devices. (Purely for access + by programs.) + +Each bus is given a number (``BBB``) based on when it was enumerated; within +each bus, each device is given a similar number (``DDD``). Those ``BBB/DDD`` +paths are not "stable" identifiers; expect them to change even if you +always leave the devices plugged in to the same hub port. *Don't even +think of saving these in application configuration files.* Stable +identifiers are available, for user mode applications that want to use +them. HID and networking devices expose these stable IDs, so that for +example you can be sure that you told the right UPS to power down its +second server. Pleast note that it doesn't (yet) expose those IDs. + +/dev/bus/usb/BBB/DDD +-------------------- + +Use these files in one of these basic ways: + +- *They can be read,* producing first the device descriptor (18 bytes) and + then the descriptors for the current configuration. See the USB 2.0 spec + for details about those binary data formats. You'll need to convert most + multibyte values from little endian format to your native host byte + order, although a few of the fields in the device descriptor (both of + the BCD-encoded fields, and the vendor and product IDs) will be + byteswapped for you. Note that configuration descriptors include + descriptors for interfaces, altsettings, endpoints, and maybe additional + class descriptors. + +- *Perform USB operations* using *ioctl()* requests to make endpoint I/O + requests (synchronously or asynchronously) or manage the device. These + requests need the ``CAP_SYS_RAWIO`` capability, as well as filesystem + access permissions. Only one ioctl request can be made on one of these + device files at a time. This means that if you are synchronously reading + an endpoint from one thread, you won't be able to write to a different + endpoint from another thread until the read completes. This works for + *half duplex* protocols, but otherwise you'd use asynchronous i/o + requests. + +Each connected USB device has one file. The ``BBB`` indicates the bus +number. The ``DDD`` indicates the device address on that bus. Both +of these numbers are assigned sequentially, and can be reused, so +you can't rely on them for stable access to devices. For example, +it's relatively common for devices to re-enumerate while they are +still connected (perhaps someone jostled their power supply, hub, +or USB cable), so a device might be ``002/027`` when you first connect +it and ``002/048`` sometime later. + +These files can be read as binary data. The binary data consists +of first the device descriptor, then the descriptors for each +configuration of the device. Multi-byte fields in the device descriptor +are converted to host endianness by the kernel. The configuration +descriptors are in bus endian format! The configuration descriptor +are wTotalLength bytes apart. If a device returns less configuration +descriptor data than indicated by wTotalLength there will be a hole in +the file for the missing bytes. This information is also shown +in text form by the ``/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices`` file, described later. + +These files may also be used to write user-level drivers for the USB +devices. You would open the ``/dev/bus/usb/BBB/DDD`` file read/write, +read its descriptors to make sure it's the device you expect, and then +bind to an interface (or perhaps several) using an ioctl call. You +would issue more ioctls to the device to communicate to it using +control, bulk, or other kinds of USB transfers. The IOCTLs are +listed in the ``<linux/usbdevice_fs.h>`` file, and at this writing the +source code (``linux/drivers/usb/core/devio.c``) is the primary reference +for how to access devices through those files. + +Note that since by default these ``BBB/DDD`` files are writable only by +root, only root can write such user mode drivers. You can selectively +grant read/write permissions to other users by using ``chmod``. Also, +usbfs mount options such as ``devmode=0666`` may be helpful. + + +Life Cycle of User Mode Drivers +------------------------------- + +Such a driver first needs to find a device file for a device it knows +how to handle. Maybe it was told about it because a ``/sbin/hotplug`` +event handling agent chose that driver to handle the new device. Or +maybe it's an application that scans all the ``/dev/bus/usb`` device files, +and ignores most devices. In either case, it should :c:func:`read()` +all the descriptors from the device file, and check them against what it +knows how to handle. It might just reject everything except a particular +vendor and product ID, or need a more complex policy. + +Never assume there will only be one such device on the system at a time! +If your code can't handle more than one device at a time, at least +detect when there's more than one, and have your users choose which +device to use. + +Once your user mode driver knows what device to use, it interacts with +it in either of two styles. The simple style is to make only control +requests; some devices don't need more complex interactions than those. +(An example might be software using vendor-specific control requests for +some initialization or configuration tasks, with a kernel driver for the +rest.) + +More likely, you need a more complex style driver: one using non-control +endpoints, reading or writing data and claiming exclusive use of an +interface. *Bulk* transfers are easiest to use, but only their sibling +*interrupt* transfers work with low speed devices. Both interrupt and +*isochronous* transfers offer service guarantees because their bandwidth +is reserved. Such "periodic" transfers are awkward to use through usbfs, +unless you're using the asynchronous calls. However, interrupt transfers +can also be used in a synchronous "one shot" style. + +Your user-mode driver should never need to worry about cleaning up +request state when the device is disconnected, although it should close +its open file descriptors as soon as it starts seeing the ENODEV errors. + +The ioctl() Requests +-------------------- + +To use these ioctls, you need to include the following headers in your +userspace program:: + + #include <linux/usb.h> + #include <linux/usbdevice_fs.h> + #include <asm/byteorder.h> + +The standard USB device model requests, from "Chapter 9" of the USB 2.0 +specification, are automatically included from the ``<linux/usb/ch9.h>`` +header. + +Unless noted otherwise, the ioctl requests described here will update +the modification time on the usbfs file to which they are applied +(unless they fail). A return of zero indicates success; otherwise, a +standard USB error code is returned (These are documented in +:ref:`usb-error-codes`). + +Each of these files multiplexes access to several I/O streams, one per +endpoint. Each device has one control endpoint (endpoint zero) which +supports a limited RPC style RPC access. Devices are configured by +hub_wq (in the kernel) setting a device-wide *configuration* that +affects things like power consumption and basic functionality. The +endpoints are part of USB *interfaces*, which may have *altsettings* +affecting things like which endpoints are available. Many devices only +have a single configuration and interface, so drivers for them will +ignore configurations and altsettings. + +Management/Status Requests +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +A number of usbfs requests don't deal very directly with device I/O. +They mostly relate to device management and status. These are all +synchronous requests. + +USBDEVFS_CLAIMINTERFACE + This is used to force usbfs to claim a specific interface, which has + not previously been claimed by usbfs or any other kernel driver. The + ioctl parameter is an integer holding the number of the interface + (bInterfaceNumber from descriptor). + + Note that if your driver doesn't claim an interface before trying to + use one of its endpoints, and no other driver has bound to it, then + the interface is automatically claimed by usbfs. + + This claim will be released by a RELEASEINTERFACE ioctl, or by + closing the file descriptor. File modification time is not updated + by this request. + +USBDEVFS_CONNECTINFO + Says whether the device is lowspeed. The ioctl parameter points to a + structure like this:: + + struct usbdevfs_connectinfo { + unsigned int devnum; + unsigned char slow; + }; + + File modification time is not updated by this request. + + *You can't tell whether a "not slow" device is connected at high + speed (480 MBit/sec) or just full speed (12 MBit/sec).* You should + know the devnum value already, it's the DDD value of the device file + name. + +USBDEVFS_GETDRIVER + Returns the name of the kernel driver bound to a given interface (a + string). Parameter is a pointer to this structure, which is + modified:: + + struct usbdevfs_getdriver { + unsigned int interface; + char driver[USBDEVFS_MAXDRIVERNAME + 1]; + }; + + File modification time is not updated by this request. + +USBDEVFS_IOCTL + Passes a request from userspace through to a kernel driver that has + an ioctl entry in the *struct usb_driver* it registered:: + + struct usbdevfs_ioctl { + int ifno; + int ioctl_code; + void *data; + }; + + /* user mode call looks like this. + * 'request' becomes the driver->ioctl() 'code' parameter. + * the size of 'param' is encoded in 'request', and that data + * is copied to or from the driver->ioctl() 'buf' parameter. + */ + static int + usbdev_ioctl (int fd, int ifno, unsigned request, void *param) + { + struct usbdevfs_ioctl wrapper; + + wrapper.ifno = ifno; + wrapper.ioctl_code = request; + wrapper.data = param; + + return ioctl (fd, USBDEVFS_IOCTL, &wrapper); + } + + File modification time is not updated by this request. + + This request lets kernel drivers talk to user mode code through + filesystem operations even when they don't create a character or + block special device. It's also been used to do things like ask + devices what device special file should be used. Two pre-defined + ioctls are used to disconnect and reconnect kernel drivers, so that + user mode code can completely manage binding and configuration of + devices. + +USBDEVFS_RELEASEINTERFACE + This is used to release the claim usbfs made on interface, either + implicitly or because of a USBDEVFS_CLAIMINTERFACE call, before the + file descriptor is closed. The ioctl parameter is an integer holding + the number of the interface (bInterfaceNumber from descriptor); File + modification time is not updated by this request. + + .. warning:: + + *No security check is made to ensure that the task which made + the claim is the one which is releasing it. This means that user + mode driver may interfere other ones.* + +USBDEVFS_RESETEP + Resets the data toggle value for an endpoint (bulk or interrupt) to + DATA0. The ioctl parameter is an integer endpoint number (1 to 15, + as identified in the endpoint descriptor), with USB_DIR_IN added + if the device's endpoint sends data to the host. + + .. Warning:: + + *Avoid using this request. It should probably be removed.* Using + it typically means the device and driver will lose toggle + synchronization. If you really lost synchronization, you likely + need to completely handshake with the device, using a request + like CLEAR_HALT or SET_INTERFACE. + +USBDEVFS_DROP_PRIVILEGES + This is used to relinquish the ability to do certain operations + which are considered to be privileged on a usbfs file descriptor. + This includes claiming arbitrary interfaces, resetting a device on + which there are currently claimed interfaces from other users, and + issuing USBDEVFS_IOCTL calls. The ioctl parameter is a 32 bit mask + of interfaces the user is allowed to claim on this file descriptor. + You may issue this ioctl more than one time to narrow said mask. + +Synchronous I/O Support +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Synchronous requests involve the kernel blocking until the user mode +request completes, either by finishing successfully or by reporting an +error. In most cases this is the simplest way to use usbfs, although as +noted above it does prevent performing I/O to more than one endpoint at +a time. + +USBDEVFS_BULK + Issues a bulk read or write request to the device. The ioctl + parameter is a pointer to this structure:: + + struct usbdevfs_bulktransfer { + unsigned int ep; + unsigned int len; + unsigned int timeout; /* in milliseconds */ + void *data; + }; + + The ``ep`` value identifies a bulk endpoint number (1 to 15, as + identified in an endpoint descriptor), masked with USB_DIR_IN when + referring to an endpoint which sends data to the host from the + device. The length of the data buffer is identified by ``len``; Recent + kernels support requests up to about 128KBytes. *FIXME say how read + length is returned, and how short reads are handled.*. + +USBDEVFS_CLEAR_HALT + Clears endpoint halt (stall) and resets the endpoint toggle. This is + only meaningful for bulk or interrupt endpoints. The ioctl parameter + is an integer endpoint number (1 to 15, as identified in an endpoint + descriptor), masked with USB_DIR_IN when referring to an endpoint + which sends data to the host from the device. + + Use this on bulk or interrupt endpoints which have stalled, + returning ``-EPIPE`` status to a data transfer request. Do not issue + the control request directly, since that could invalidate the host's + record of the data toggle. + +USBDEVFS_CONTROL + Issues a control request to the device. The ioctl parameter points + to a structure like this:: + + struct usbdevfs_ctrltransfer { + __u8 bRequestType; + __u8 bRequest; + __u16 wValue; + __u16 wIndex; + __u16 wLength; + __u32 timeout; /* in milliseconds */ + void *data; + }; + + The first eight bytes of this structure are the contents of the + SETUP packet to be sent to the device; see the USB 2.0 specification + for details. The bRequestType value is composed by combining a + ``USB_TYPE_*`` value, a ``USB_DIR_*`` value, and a ``USB_RECIP_*`` + value (from ``linux/usb.h``). If wLength is nonzero, it describes + the length of the data buffer, which is either written to the device + (USB_DIR_OUT) or read from the device (USB_DIR_IN). + + At this writing, you can't transfer more than 4 KBytes of data to or + from a device; usbfs has a limit, and some host controller drivers + have a limit. (That's not usually a problem.) *Also* there's no way + to say it's not OK to get a short read back from the device. + +USBDEVFS_RESET + Does a USB level device reset. The ioctl parameter is ignored. After + the reset, this rebinds all device interfaces. File modification + time is not updated by this request. + +.. warning:: + + *Avoid using this call* until some usbcore bugs get fixed, since + it does not fully synchronize device, interface, and driver (not + just usbfs) state. + +USBDEVFS_SETINTERFACE + Sets the alternate setting for an interface. The ioctl parameter is + a pointer to a structure like this:: + + struct usbdevfs_setinterface { + unsigned int interface; + unsigned int altsetting; + }; + + File modification time is not updated by this request. + + Those struct members are from some interface descriptor applying to + the current configuration. The interface number is the + bInterfaceNumber value, and the altsetting number is the + bAlternateSetting value. (This resets each endpoint in the + interface.) + +USBDEVFS_SETCONFIGURATION + Issues the :c:func:`usb_set_configuration()` call for the + device. The parameter is an integer holding the number of a + configuration (bConfigurationValue from descriptor). File + modification time is not updated by this request. + +.. warning:: + + *Avoid using this call* until some usbcore bugs get fixed, since + it does not fully synchronize device, interface, and driver (not + just usbfs) state. + +Asynchronous I/O Support +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +As mentioned above, there are situations where it may be important to +initiate concurrent operations from user mode code. This is particularly +important for periodic transfers (interrupt and isochronous), but it can +be used for other kinds of USB requests too. In such cases, the +asynchronous requests described here are essential. Rather than +submitting one request and having the kernel block until it completes, +the blocking is separate. + +These requests are packaged into a structure that resembles the URB used +by kernel device drivers. (No POSIX Async I/O support here, sorry.) It +identifies the endpoint type (``USBDEVFS_URB_TYPE_*``), endpoint +(number, masked with USB_DIR_IN as appropriate), buffer and length, +and a user "context" value serving to uniquely identify each request. +(It's usually a pointer to per-request data.) Flags can modify requests +(not as many as supported for kernel drivers). + +Each request can specify a realtime signal number (between SIGRTMIN and +SIGRTMAX, inclusive) to request a signal be sent when the request +completes. + +When usbfs returns these urbs, the status value is updated, and the +buffer may have been modified. Except for isochronous transfers, the +actual_length is updated to say how many bytes were transferred; if the +USBDEVFS_URB_DISABLE_SPD flag is set ("short packets are not OK"), if +fewer bytes were read than were requested then you get an error report:: + + struct usbdevfs_iso_packet_desc { + unsigned int length; + unsigned int actual_length; + unsigned int status; + }; + + struct usbdevfs_urb { + unsigned char type; + unsigned char endpoint; + int status; + unsigned int flags; + void *buffer; + int buffer_length; + int actual_length; + int start_frame; + int number_of_packets; + int error_count; + unsigned int signr; + void *usercontext; + struct usbdevfs_iso_packet_desc iso_frame_desc[]; + }; + +For these asynchronous requests, the file modification time reflects +when the request was initiated. This contrasts with their use with the +synchronous requests, where it reflects when requests complete. + +USBDEVFS_DISCARDURB + *TBS* File modification time is not updated by this request. + +USBDEVFS_DISCSIGNAL + *TBS* File modification time is not updated by this request. + +USBDEVFS_REAPURB + *TBS* File modification time is not updated by this request. + +USBDEVFS_REAPURBNDELAY + *TBS* File modification time is not updated by this request. + +USBDEVFS_SUBMITURB + *TBS* + +The USB devices +=============== + +The USB devices are now exported via debugfs: + +- ``/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices`` ... a text file showing each of the USB + devices on known to the kernel, and their configuration descriptors. + You can also poll() this to learn about new devices. + +/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices +----------------------------- + +This file is handy for status viewing tools in user mode, which can scan +the text format and ignore most of it. More detailed device status +(including class and vendor status) is available from device-specific +files. For information about the current format of this file, see below. + +This file, in combination with the poll() system call, can also be used +to detect when devices are added or removed:: + + int fd; + struct pollfd pfd; + + fd = open("/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices", O_RDONLY); + pfd = { fd, POLLIN, 0 }; + for (;;) { + /* The first time through, this call will return immediately. */ + poll(&pfd, 1, -1); + + /* To see what's changed, compare the file's previous and current + contents or scan the filesystem. (Scanning is more precise.) */ + } + +Note that this behavior is intended to be used for informational and +debug purposes. It would be more appropriate to use programs such as +udev or HAL to initialize a device or start a user-mode helper program, +for instance. + +In this file, each device's output has multiple lines of ASCII output. + +I made it ASCII instead of binary on purpose, so that someone +can obtain some useful data from it without the use of an +auxiliary program. However, with an auxiliary program, the numbers +in the first 4 columns of each ``T:`` line (topology info: +Lev, Prnt, Port, Cnt) can be used to build a USB topology diagram. + +Each line is tagged with a one-character ID for that line:: + + T = Topology (etc.) + B = Bandwidth (applies only to USB host controllers, which are + virtualized as root hubs) + D = Device descriptor info. + P = Product ID info.

The xHCI +specification describes DbC in the section 7.6. + +When DbC is initialized and enabled, it will present a debug +device through the debug port (normally the first USB3 +super-speed port). The debug device is fully compliant with +the USB framework and provides the equivalent of a very high +performance full-duplex serial link between the debug target +(the system under debugging) and a debug host. + +EARLY PRINTK +============ + +DbC has been designed to log early printk messages. One use for +this feature is kernel debugging. For example, when your machine +crashes very early before the regular console code is initialized. +Other uses include simpler, lockless logging instead of a full- +blown printk console driver and klogd. + +On the debug target system, you need to customize a debugging +kernel with CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_USB_XDBC enabled.

This will allow the controller driver to know +about which device the glue layer supports and which functions to call +when a supported device is detected or released; remember we are talking +about an embedded controller chip here, so no insertion or removal at +run-time. + +All of this information is passed to the MUSB controller driver through +a :c:type:`platform_driver` structure defined in the glue layer as:: + + static struct platform_driver jz4740_driver = { + .probe = jz4740_probe, + .remove = jz4740_remove, + .driver = { + .name = "musb-jz4740", + }, + }; + +The probe and remove function pointers are called when a matching device +is detected and, respectively, released. The name string describes the +device supported by this glue layer. In the current case it matches a +platform_device structure declared in ``arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c``. Note +that we are not using device tree bindings here. + +In order to register itself to the controller driver, the glue layer +goes through a few steps, basically allocating the controller hardware +resources and initialising a couple of circuits. To do so, it needs to +keep track of the information used throughout these steps. This is done +by defining a private ``jz4740_glue`` structure:: + + struct jz4740_glue { + struct device *dev; + struct platform_device *musb; + struct clk *clk; + }; + + +The dev and musb members are both device structure variables. The first +one holds generic information about the device, since it's the basic +device structure, and the latter holds information more closely related +to the subsystem the device is registered to. The clk variable keeps +information related to the device clock operation. + +Let's go through the steps of the probe function that leads the glue +layer to register itself to the controller driver. + +.. note:: + + For the sake of readability each function will be split in logical + parts, each part being shown as if it was independent from the others. + +.. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 8,12,18 + + static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + struct platform_device *musb; + struct jz4740_glue *glue; + struct clk *clk; + int ret; + + glue = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*glue), GFP_KERNEL); + if (!glue) + return -ENOMEM; + + musb = platform_device_alloc("musb-hdrc", PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO); + if (!musb) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to allocate musb device\n"); + return -ENOMEM; + } + + clk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, "udc"); + if (IS_ERR(clk)) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to get clock\n"); + ret = PTR_ERR(clk); + goto err_platform_device_put; + } + + ret = clk_prepare_enable(clk); + if (ret) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to enable clock\n"); + goto err_platform_device_put; + } + + musb->dev.parent = &pdev->dev; + + glue->dev = &pdev->dev; + glue->musb = musb; + glue->clk = clk; + + return 0; + + err_platform_device_put: + platform_device_put(musb); + return ret; + } + +The first few lines of the probe function allocate and assign the glue, +musb and clk variables. The ``GFP_KERNEL`` flag (line 8) allows the +allocation process to sleep and wait for memory, thus being usable in a +locking situation. The ``PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO`` flag (line 12) allows +automatic allocation and management of device IDs in order to avoid +device namespace collisions with explicit IDs. With :c:func:`devm_clk_get` +(line 18) the glue layer allocates the clock -- the ``devm_`` prefix +indicates that :c:func:`clk_get` is managed: it automatically frees the +allocated clock resource data when the device is released -- and enable +it. + + + +Then comes the registration steps: + +.. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 3,5,7,9,16 + + static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + struct musb_hdrc_platform_data *pdata = &jz4740_musb_platform_data; + + pdata->platform_ops = &jz4740_musb_ops; + + platform_set_drvdata(pdev, glue); + + ret = platform_device_add_resources(musb, pdev->resource, + pdev->num_resources); + if (ret) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to add resources\n"); + goto err_clk_disable; + } + + ret = platform_device_add_data(musb, pdata, sizeof(*pdata)); + if (ret) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to add platform_data\n"); + goto err_clk_disable; + } + + return 0; + + err_clk_disable: + clk_disable_unprepare(clk); + err_platform_device_put: + platform_device_put(musb); + return ret; + } + +The first step is to pass the device data privately held by the glue +layer on to the controller driver through :c:func:`platform_set_drvdata` +(line 7). Next is passing on the device resources information, also privately +held at that point, through :c:func:`platform_device_add_resources` (line 9). + +Finally comes passing on the platform specific data to the controller +driver (line 16). Platform data will be discussed in +:ref:`musb-dev-platform-data`, but here we are looking at the +``platform_ops`` function pointer (line 5) in ``musb_hdrc_platform_data`` +structure (line 3). This function pointer allows the MUSB controller +driver to know which function to call for device operation:: + + static const struct musb_platform_ops jz4740_musb_ops = { + .init = jz4740_musb_init, + .exit = jz4740_musb_exit, + }; + +Here we have the minimal case where only init and exit functions are +called by the controller driver when needed. Fact is the JZ4740 MUSB +controller is a basic controller, lacking some features found in other +controllers, otherwise we may also have pointers to a few other +functions like a power management function or a function to switch +between OTG and non-OTG modes, for instance. + +At that point of the registration process, the controller driver +actually calls the init function: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 12,14 + + static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb) + { + musb->xceiv = usb_get_phy(USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2); + if (!musb->xceiv) { + pr_err("HS UDC: no transceiver configured\n"); + return -ENODEV; + } + + /* Silicon does not implement ConfigData register. + * Set dyn_fifo to avoid reading EP config from hardware. + */ + musb->dyn_fifo = true; + + musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt; + + return 0; + } + +The goal of ``jz4740_musb_init()`` is to get hold of the transceiver +driver data of the MUSB controller hardware and pass it on to the MUSB +controller driver, as usual. The transceiver is the circuitry inside the +controller hardware responsible for sending/receiving the USB data. +Since it is an implementation of the physical layer of the OSI model, +the transceiver is also referred to as PHY. + +Getting hold of the ``MUSB PHY`` driver data is done with ``usb_get_phy()`` +which returns a pointer to the structure containing the driver instance +data. The next couple of instructions (line 12 and 14) are used as a +quirk and to setup IRQ handling respectively. Quirks and IRQ handling +will be discussed later in :ref:`musb-dev-quirks` and +:ref:`musb-handling-irqs`\ :: + + static int jz4740_musb_exit(struct musb *musb) + { + usb_put_phy(musb->xceiv); + + return 0; + } + +Acting as the counterpart of init, the exit function releases the MUSB +PHY driver when the controller hardware itself is about to be released. + +Again, note that init and exit are fairly simple in this case due to the +basic set of features of the JZ4740 controller hardware. When writing an +musb glue layer for a more complex controller hardware, you might need +to take care of more processing in those two functions. + +Returning from the init function, the MUSB controller driver jumps back +into the probe function:: + + static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + ret = platform_device_add(musb); + if (ret) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to register musb device\n"); + goto err_clk_disable; + } + + return 0; + + err_clk_disable: + clk_disable_unprepare(clk); + err_platform_device_put: + platform_device_put(musb); + return ret; + } + +This is the last part of the device registration process where the glue +layer adds the controller hardware device to Linux kernel device +hierarchy: at this stage, all known information about the device is +passed on to the Linux USB core stack: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 5,6 + + static int jz4740_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + struct jz4740_glue *glue = platform_get_drvdata(pdev); + + platform_device_unregister(glue->musb); + clk_disable_unprepare(glue->clk); + + return 0; + } + +Acting as the counterpart of probe, the remove function unregister the +MUSB controller hardware (line 5) and disable the clock (line 6), +allowing it to be gated. + +.. _musb-handling-irqs: + +Handling IRQs +============= + +Additionally to the MUSB controller hardware basic setup and +registration, the glue layer is also responsible for handling the IRQs: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 7,9-11,14,24 + + static irqreturn_t jz4740_musb_interrupt(int irq, void *__hci) + { + unsigned long flags; + irqreturn_t retval = IRQ_NONE; + struct musb *musb = __hci; + + spin_lock_irqsave(&musb->lock, flags); + + musb->int_usb = musb_readb(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRUSB); + musb->int_tx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRTX); + musb->int_rx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRRX); + + /* + * The controller is gadget only, the state of the host mode IRQ bits is + * undefined. Mask them to make sure that the musb driver core will + * never see them set + */ + musb->int_usb &= MUSB_INTR_SUSPEND | MUSB_INTR_RESUME | + MUSB_INTR_RESET | MUSB_INTR_SOF; + + if (musb->int_usb || musb->int_tx || musb->int_rx) + retval = musb_interrupt(musb); + + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&musb->lock, flags); + + return retval; + } + +Here the glue layer mostly has to read the relevant hardware registers +and pass their values on to the controller driver which will handle the +actual event that triggered the IRQ. + +The interrupt handler critical section is protected by the +:c:func:`spin_lock_irqsave` and counterpart :c:func:`spin_unlock_irqrestore` +functions (line 7 and 24 respectively), which prevent the interrupt +handler code to be run by two different threads at the same time. + +Then the relevant interrupt registers are read (line 9 to 11): + +- ``MUSB_INTRUSB``: indicates which USB interrupts are currently active, + +- ``MUSB_INTRTX``: indicates which of the interrupts for TX endpoints are + currently active, + +- ``MUSB_INTRRX``: indicates which of the interrupts for TX endpoints are + currently active. + +Note that :c:func:`musb_readb` is used to read 8-bit registers at most, while +:c:func:`musb_readw` allows us to read at most 16-bit registers. There are +other functions that can be used depending on the size of your device +registers. See ``musb_io.h`` for more information. + +Instruction on line 18 is another quirk specific to the JZ4740 USB +device controller, which will be discussed later in :ref:`musb-dev-quirks`. + +The glue layer still needs to register the IRQ handler though. Remember +the instruction on line 14 of the init function:: + + static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb) + { + musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt; + + return 0; + } + +This instruction sets a pointer to the glue layer IRQ handler function, +in order for the controller hardware to call the handler back when an +IRQ comes from the controller hardware. The interrupt handler is now +implemented and registered. + +.. _musb-dev-platform-data: + +Device Platform Data +==================== + +In order to write an MUSB glue layer, you need to have some data +describing the hardware capabilities of your controller hardware, which +is called the platform data. + +Platform data is specific to your hardware, though it may cover a broad +range of devices, and is generally found somewhere in the ``arch/`` +directory, depending on your device architecture. + +For instance, platform data for the JZ4740 SoC is found in +``arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c``. In the ``platform.c`` file each device of the +JZ4740 SoC is described through a set of structures. + +Here is the part of ``arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c`` that covers the USB +Device Controller (UDC): + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 2,7,14-17,21,22,25,26,28,29 + + /* USB Device Controller */ + struct platform_device jz4740_udc_xceiv_device = { + .name = "usb_phy_gen_xceiv", + .id = 0, + }; + + static struct resource jz4740_udc_resources[] = { + [0] = { + .start = JZ4740_UDC_BASE_ADDR, + .end = JZ4740_UDC_BASE_ADDR + 0x10000 - 1, + .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM, + }, + [1] = { + .start = JZ4740_IRQ_UDC, + .end = JZ4740_IRQ_UDC, + .flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ, + .name = "mc", + }, + }; + + struct platform_device jz4740_udc_device = { + .name = "musb-jz4740", + .id = -1, + .dev = { + .dma_mask = &jz4740_udc_device.dev.coherent_dma_mask, + .coherent_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32), + }, + .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(jz4740_udc_resources), + .resource = jz4740_udc_resources, + }; + +The ``jz4740_udc_xceiv_device`` platform device structure (line 2) +describes the UDC transceiver with a name and id number. + +At the time of this writing, note that ``usb_phy_gen_xceiv`` is the +specific name to be used for all transceivers that are either built-in +with reference USB IP or autonomous and doesn't require any PHY +programming. You will need to set ``CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV=y`` in the +kernel configuration to make use of the corresponding transceiver +driver. The id field could be set to -1 (equivalent to +``PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE``), -2 (equivalent to ``PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO``) or +start with 0 for the first device of this kind if we want a specific id +number. + +The ``jz4740_udc_resources`` resource structure (line 7) defines the UDC +registers base addresses. + +The first array (line 9 to 11) defines the UDC registers base memory +addresses: start points to the first register memory address, end points +to the last register memory address and the flags member defines the +type of resource we are dealing with. So ``IORESOURCE_MEM`` is used to +define the registers memory addresses. The second array (line 14 to 17) +defines the UDC IRQ registers addresses. Since there is only one IRQ +register available for the JZ4740 UDC, start and end point at the same +address. The ``IORESOURCE_IRQ`` flag tells that we are dealing with IRQ +resources, and the name ``mc`` is in fact hard-coded in the MUSB core in +order for the controller driver to retrieve this IRQ resource by +querying it by its name. + +Finally, the ``jz4740_udc_device`` platform device structure (line 21) +describes the UDC itself. + +The ``musb-jz4740`` name (line 22) defines the MUSB driver that is used +for this device; remember this is in fact the name that we used in the +``jz4740_driver`` platform driver structure in :ref:`musb-basics`. +The id field (line 23) is set to -1 (equivalent to ``PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE``) +since we do not need an id for the device: the MUSB controller driver was +already set to allocate an automatic id in :ref:`musb-basics`. In the dev field +we care for DMA related information here. The ``dma_mask`` field (line 25) +defines the width of the DMA mask that is going to be used, and +``coherent_dma_mask`` (line 26) has the same purpose but for the +``alloc_coherent`` DMA mappings: in both cases we are using a 32 bits mask. +Then the resource field (line 29) is simply a pointer to the resource +structure defined before, while the ``num_resources`` field (line 28) keeps +track of the number of arrays defined in the resource structure (in this +case there were two resource arrays defined before). + +With this quick overview of the UDC platform data at the ``arch/`` level now +done, let's get back to the MUSB glue layer specific platform data in +``drivers/usb/musb/jz4740.c``: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 3,5,7-9,11 + + static struct musb_hdrc_config jz4740_musb_config = { + /* Silicon does not implement USB OTG. */ + .multipoint = 0, + /* Max EPs scanned, driver will decide which EP can be used. */ + .num_eps = 4, + /* RAMbits needed to configure EPs from table */ + .ram_bits = 9, + .fifo_cfg = jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg, + .fifo_cfg_size = ARRAY_SIZE(jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg), + }; + + static struct musb_hdrc_platform_data jz4740_musb_platform_data = { + .mode = MUSB_PERIPHERAL, + .config = &jz4740_musb_config, + }; + +First the glue layer configures some aspects of the controller driver +operation related to the controller hardware specifics. This is done +through the ``jz4740_musb_config`` :c:type:`musb_hdrc_config` structure. + +Defining the OTG capability of the controller hardware, the multipoint +member (line 3) is set to 0 (equivalent to false) since the JZ4740 UDC +is not OTG compatible. Then ``num_eps`` (line 5) defines the number of USB +endpoints of the controller hardware, including endpoint 0: here we have +3 endpoints + endpoint 0. Next is ``ram_bits`` (line 7) which is the width +of the RAM address bus for the MUSB controller hardware. This +information is needed when the controller driver cannot automatically +configure endpoints by reading the relevant controller hardware +registers. This issue will be discussed when we get to device quirks in +:ref:`musb-dev-quirks`. Last two fields (line 8 and 9) are also +about device quirks: ``fifo_cfg`` points to the USB endpoints configuration +table and ``fifo_cfg_size`` keeps track of the size of the number of +entries in that configuration table. More on that later in +:ref:`musb-dev-quirks`. + +Then this configuration is embedded inside ``jz4740_musb_platform_data`` +:c:type:`musb_hdrc_platform_data` structure (line 11): config is a pointer to +the configuration structure itself, and mode tells the controller driver +if the controller hardware may be used as ``MUSB_HOST`` only, +``MUSB_PERIPHERAL`` only or ``MUSB_OTG`` which is a dual mode. + +Remember that ``jz4740_musb_platform_data`` is then used to convey +platform data information as we have seen in the probe function in +:ref:`musb-basics`. + +.. _musb-dev-quirks: + +Device Quirks +============= + +Completing the platform data specific to your device, you may also need +to write some code in the glue layer to work around some device specific +limitations. These quirks may be due to some hardware bugs, or simply be +the result of an incomplete implementation of the USB On-the-Go +specification. + +The JZ4740 UDC exhibits such quirks, some of which we will discuss here +for the sake of insight even though these might not be found in the +controller hardware you are working on. + +Let's get back to the init function first: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 12 + + static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb) + { + musb->xceiv = usb_get_phy(USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2); + if (!musb->xceiv) { + pr_err("HS UDC: no transceiver configured\n"); + return -ENODEV; + } + + /* Silicon does not implement ConfigData register. + * Set dyn_fifo to avoid reading EP config from hardware. + */ + musb->dyn_fifo = true; + + musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt; + + return 0; + } + +Instruction on line 12 helps the MUSB controller driver to work around +the fact that the controller hardware is missing registers that are used +for USB endpoints configuration. + +Without these registers, the controller driver is unable to read the +endpoints configuration from the hardware, so we use line 12 instruction +to bypass reading the configuration from silicon, and rely on a +hard-coded table that describes the endpoints configuration instead:: + + static struct musb_fifo_cfg jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg[] = { + { .hw_ep_num = 1, .style = FIFO_TX, .maxpacket = 512, }, + { .hw_ep_num = 1, .style = FIFO_RX, .maxpacket = 512, }, + { .hw_ep_num = 2, .style = FIFO_TX, .maxpacket = 64, }, + }; + +Looking at the configuration table above, we see that each endpoints is +described by three fields: ``hw_ep_num`` is the endpoint number, style is +its direction (either ``FIFO_TX`` for the controller driver to send packets +in the controller hardware, or ``FIFO_RX`` to receive packets from +hardware), and maxpacket defines the maximum size of each data packet +that can be transmitted over that endpoint. Reading from the table, the +controller driver knows that endpoint 1 can be used to send and receive +USB data packets of 512 bytes at once (this is in fact a bulk in/out +endpoint), and endpoint 2 can be used to send data packets of 64 bytes +at once (this is in fact an interrupt endpoint). + +Note that there is no information about endpoint 0 here: that one is +implemented by default in every silicon design, with a predefined +configuration according to the USB specification. For more examples of +endpoint configuration tables, see ``musb_core.c``. + +Let's now get back to the interrupt handler function: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 18-19 + + static irqreturn_t jz4740_musb_interrupt(int irq, void *__hci) + { + unsigned long flags; + irqreturn_t retval = IRQ_NONE; + struct musb *musb = __hci; + + spin_lock_irqsave(&musb->lock, flags); + + musb->int_usb = musb_readb(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRUSB); + musb->int_tx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRTX); + musb->int_rx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRRX); + + /* + * The controller is gadget only, the state of the host mode IRQ bits is + * undefined. Mask them to make sure that the musb driver core will + * never see them set + */ + musb->int_usb &= MUSB_INTR_SUSPEND | MUSB_INTR_RESUME | + MUSB_INTR_RESET | MUSB_INTR_SOF; + + if (musb->int_usb || musb->int_tx || musb->int_rx) + retval = musb_interrupt(musb); + + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&musb->lock, flags); + + return retval; + } + +Instruction on line 18 above is a way for the controller driver to work +around the fact that some interrupt bits used for USB host mode +operation are missing in the ``MUSB_INTRUSB`` register, thus left in an +undefined hardware state, since this MUSB controller hardware is used in +peripheral mode only. As a consequence, the glue layer masks these +missing bits out to avoid parasite interrupts by doing a logical AND +operation between the value read from ``MUSB_INTRUSB`` and the bits that +are actually implemented in the register. + +These are only a couple of the quirks found in the JZ4740 USB device +controller. Some others were directly addressed in the MUSB core since +the fixes were generic enough to provide a better handling of the issues +for others controller hardware eventually. + +Conclusion +========== + +Writing a Linux MUSB glue layer should be a more accessible task, as +this documentation tries to show the ins and outs of this exercise. + +The JZ4740 USB device controller being fairly simple, I hope its glue +layer serves as a good example for the curious mind.

Linux currently supports +almost all USB class devices (standard types of devices like keyboards, +mice, modems, printers and speakers) and an ever-growing number of +vendor-specific devices (such as USB to serial converters, digital +cameras, Ethernet devices and MP3 players). For a full list of the +different USB devices currently supported, see Resources. + +The remaining kinds of USB devices that do not have support on Linux are +almost all vendor-specific devices. Each vendor decides to implement a +custom protocol to talk to their device, so a custom driver usually +needs to be created. Some vendors are open with their USB protocols and +help with the creation of Linux drivers, while others do not publish +them, and developers are forced to reverse-engineer. See Resources for +some links to handy reverse-engineering tools. + +Because each different protocol causes a new driver to be created, I +have written a generic USB driver skeleton, modelled after the +pci-skeleton.c file in the kernel source tree upon which many PCI +network drivers have been based. This USB skeleton can be found at +drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c in the kernel source tree. In this article I +will walk through the basics of the skeleton driver, explaining the +different pieces and what needs to be done to customize it to your +specific device. + +Linux USB Basics +================ + +If you are going to write a Linux USB driver, please become familiar +with the USB protocol specification. It can be found, along with many +other useful documents, at the USB home page (see Resources). An +excellent introduction to the Linux USB subsystem can be found at the +USB Working Devices List (see Resources). It explains how the Linux USB +subsystem is structured and introduces the reader to the concept of USB +urbs (USB Request Blocks), which are essential to USB drivers. + +The first thing a Linux USB driver needs to do is register itself with +the Linux USB subsystem, giving it some information about which devices +the driver supports and which functions to call when a device supported +by the driver is inserted or removed from the system. All of this +information is passed to the USB subsystem in the :c:type:`usb_driver` +structure. The skeleton driver declares a :c:type:`usb_driver` as:: + + static struct usb_driver skel_driver = { + .name = "skeleton", + .probe = skel_probe, + .disconnect = skel_disconnect, + .suspend = skel_suspend, + .resume = skel_resume, + .pre_reset = skel_pre_reset, + .post_reset = skel_post_reset, + .id_table = skel_table, + .supports_autosuspend = 1, + }; + + +The variable name is a string that describes the driver. It is used in +informational messages printed to the system log. The probe and +disconnect function pointers are called when a device that matches the +information provided in the ``id_table`` variable is either seen or +removed. + +The fops and minor variables are optional. Most USB drivers hook into +another kernel subsystem, such as the SCSI, network or TTY subsystem. +These types of drivers register themselves with the other kernel +subsystem, and any user-space interactions are provided through that +interface. But for drivers that do not have a matching kernel subsystem, +such as MP3 players or scanners, a method of interacting with user space +is needed. The USB subsystem provides a way to register a minor device +number and a set of :c:type:`file_operations` function pointers that enable +this user-space interaction. The skeleton driver needs this kind of +interface, so it provides a minor starting number and a pointer to its +:c:type:`file_operations` functions. + +The USB driver is then registered with a call to usb_register(), +usually in the driver's init function, as shown here:: + + static int __init usb_skel_init(void) + { + int result; + + /* register this driver with the USB subsystem */ + result = usb_register(&skel_driver); + if (result < 0) { + pr_err("usb_register failed for the %s driver. Error number %d\n", + skel_driver.name, result); + return -1; + } + + return 0; + } + module_init(usb_skel_init); + + +When the driver is unloaded from the system, it needs to deregister +itself with the USB subsystem. This is done with usb_deregister() +function:: + + static void __exit usb_skel_exit(void) + { + /* deregister this driver with the USB subsystem */ + usb_deregister(&skel_driver); + } + module_exit(usb_skel_exit); + + +To enable the linux-hotplug system to load the driver automatically when +the device is plugged in, you need to create a ``MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE``. +The following code tells the hotplug scripts that this module supports a +single device with a specific vendor and product ID:: + + /* table of devices that work with this driver */ + static struct usb_device_id skel_table [] = { + { USB_DEVICE(USB_SKEL_VENDOR_ID, USB_SKEL_PRODUCT_ID) }, + { } /* Terminating entry */ + }; + MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE (usb, skel_table); + + +There are other macros that can be used in describing a struct +:c:type:`usb_device_id` for drivers that support a whole class of USB +drivers. See :ref:`usb.h <usb_header>` for more information on this. + +Device operation +================ + +When a device is plugged into the USB bus that matches the device ID +pattern that your driver registered with the USB core, the probe +function is called. The :c:type:`usb_device` structure, interface number and +the interface ID are passed to the function:: + + static int skel_probe(struct usb_interface *interface, + const struct usb_device_id *id) + + +The driver now needs to verify that this device is actually one that it +can accept. If so, it returns 0. If not, or if any error occurs during +initialization, an errorcode (such as ``-ENOMEM`` or ``-ENODEV``) is +returned from the probe function. + +In the skeleton driver, we determine what end points are marked as +bulk-in and bulk-out. We create buffers to hold the data that will be +sent and received from the device, and a USB urb to write data to the +device is initialized. + +Conversely, when the device is removed from the USB bus, the disconnect +function is called with the device pointer. The driver needs to clean +any private data that has been allocated at this time and to shut down +any pending urbs that are in the USB system. + +Now that the device is plugged into the system and the driver is bound +to the device, any of the functions in the :c:type:`file_operations` structure +that were passed to the USB subsystem will be called from a user program +trying to talk to the device. The first function called will be open, as +the program tries to open the device for I/O. We increment our private +usage count and save a pointer to our internal structure in the file +structure. This is done so that future calls to file operations will +enable the driver to determine which device the user is addressing. All +of this is done with the following code:: + + /* increment our usage count for the device */ + kref_get(&dev->kref); + + /* save our object in the file's private structure */ + file->private_data = dev; + + +After the open function is called, the read and write functions are +called to receive and send data to the device. In the ``skel_write`` +function, we receive a pointer to some data that the user wants to send +to the device and the size of the data. The function determines how much +data it can send to the device based on the size of the write urb it has +created (this size depends on the size of the bulk out end point that +the device has). Then it copies the data from user space to kernel +space, points the urb to the data and submits the urb to the USB +subsystem. This can be seen in the following code:: + + /* we can only write as much as 1 urb will hold */ + size_t writesize = min_t(size_t, count, MAX_TRANSFER); + + /* copy the data from user space into our urb */ + copy_from_user(buf, user_buffer, writesize); + + /* set up our urb */ + usb_fill_bulk_urb(urb, + dev->udev, + usb_sndbulkpipe(dev->udev, dev->bulk_out_endpointAddr), + buf, + writesize, + skel_write_bulk_callback, + dev); + + /* send the data out the bulk port */ + retval = usb_submit_urb(urb, GFP_KERNEL); + if (retval) { + dev_err(&dev->interface->dev, + "%s - failed submitting write urb, error %d\n", + __func__, retval); + } + + +When the write urb is filled up with the proper information using the +:c:func:`usb_fill_bulk_urb` function, we point the urb's completion callback +to call our own ``skel_write_bulk_callback`` function. This function is +called when the urb is finished by the USB subsystem. The callback +function is called in interrupt context, so caution must be taken not to +do very much processing at that time. Our implementation of +``skel_write_bulk_callback`` merely reports if the urb was completed +successfully or not and then returns. + +The read function works a bit differently from the write function in +that we do not use an urb to transfer data from the device to the +driver. Instead we call the :c:func:`usb_bulk_msg` function, which can be used +to send or receive data from a device without having to create urbs and +handle urb completion callback functions. We call the :c:func:`usb_bulk_msg` +function, giving it a buffer into which to place any data received from +the device and a timeout value. If the timeout period expires without +receiving any data from the device, the function will fail and return an +error message. This can be shown with the following code:: + + /* do an immediate bulk read to get data from the device */ + retval = usb_bulk_msg (skel->dev, + usb_rcvbulkpipe (skel->dev, + skel->bulk_in_endpointAddr), + skel->bulk_in_buffer, + skel->bulk_in_size, + &count, 5000); + /* if the read was successful, copy the data to user space */ + if (!retval) { + if (copy_to_user (buffer, skel->bulk_in_buffer, count)) + retval = -EFAULT; + else + retval = count; + } + + +The :c:func:`usb_bulk_msg` function can be very useful for doing single reads +or writes to a device; however, if you need to read or write constantly to +a device, it is recommended to set up your own urbs and submit them to +the USB subsystem. + +When the user program releases the file handle that it has been using to +talk to the device, the release function in the driver is called. In +this function we decrement our private usage count and wait for possible +pending writes:: + + /* decrement our usage count for the device */ + --skel->open_count; + + +One of the more difficult problems that USB drivers must be able to +handle smoothly is the fact that the USB device may be removed from the +system at any point in time, even if a program is currently talking to +it. It needs to be able to shut down any current reads and writes and +notify the user-space programs that the device is no longer there. The +following code (function ``skel_delete``) is an example of how to do +this:: + + static inline void skel_delete (struct usb_skel *dev) + { + kfree (dev->bulk_in_buffer); + if (dev->bulk_out_buffer != NULL) + usb_free_coherent (dev->udev, dev->bulk_out_size, + dev->bulk_out_buffer, + dev->write_urb->transfer_dma); + usb_free_urb (dev->write_urb); + kfree (dev); + } + + +If a program currently has an open handle to the device, we reset the +flag ``device_present``. For every read, write, release and other +functions that expect a device to be present, the driver first checks +this flag to see if the device is still present. If not, it releases +that the device has disappeared, and a ``-ENODEV`` error is returned to the +user-space program. When the release function is eventually called, it +determines if there is no device and if not, it does the cleanup that +the ``skel_disconnect`` function normally does if there are no open files +on the device (see Listing 5). + +Isochronous Data +================ + +This usb-skeleton driver does not have any examples of interrupt or +isochronous data being sent to or from the device. Interrupt data is +sent almost exactly as bulk data is, with a few minor exceptions. +Isochronous data works differently with continuous streams of data being +sent to or from the device. The audio and video camera drivers are very +good examples of drivers that handle isochronous data and will be useful +if you also need to do this. + +Conclusion +========== + +Writing Linux USB device drivers is not a difficult task as the +usb-skeleton driver shows. This driver, combined with the other current +USB drivers, should provide enough examples to help a beginning author +create a working driver in a minimal amount of time.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +Acceptance criteria for vfio-pci device specific driver variants +================================================================ + +Overview +-------- +The vfio-pci driver exists as a device agnostic driver using the +system IOMMU and relying on the robustness of platform fault +handling to provide isolated device access to userspace. While the +vfio-pci driver does include some device specific support, further +extensions for yet more advanced device specific features are not +sustainable. The vfio-pci driver has therefore split out +vfio-pci-core as a library that may be reused to implement features +requiring device specific knowledge, ex. saving and loading device +state for the purposes of supporting migration. + +In support of such features, it's expected that some device specific +variants may interact with parent devices (ex. SR-IOV PF in support of +a user assigned VF) or other extensions that may not be otherwise +accessible via the vfio-pci base driver. Authors of such drivers +should be diligent not to create exploitable interfaces via these +interactions or allow unchecked userspace data to have an effect +beyond the scope of the assigned device. + +New driver submissions are therefore requested to have approval via +sign-off/ack/review/etc for any interactions with parent drivers. +Additionally, drivers should make an attempt to provide sufficient +documentation for reviewers to understand the device specific +extensions, for example in the case of migration data, how is the +device state composed and consumed, which portions are not otherwise +available to the user via vfio-pci, what safeguards exist to validate +the data, etc. To that extent, authors should additionally expect to +require reviews from at least one of the listed reviewers, in addition +to the overall vfio maintainer. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/vfio.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/vfio.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..c663b6f97 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/vfio.rst @@ -0,0 +1,528 @@ +================================== +VFIO - "Virtual Function I/O" [1]_ +================================== + +Many modern systems now provide DMA and interrupt remapping facilities +to help ensure I/O devices behave within the boundaries they've been +allotted. This includes x86 hardware with AMD-Vi and Intel VT-d, +POWER systems with Partitionable Endpoints (PEs) and embedded PowerPC +systems such as Freescale PAMU. The VFIO driver is an IOMMU/device +agnostic framework for exposing direct device access to userspace, in +a secure, IOMMU protected environment. In other words, this allows +safe [2]_, non-privileged, userspace drivers. + +Why do we want that? Virtual machines often make use of direct device +access ("device assignment") when configured for the highest possible +I/O performance. From a device and host perspective, this simply +turns the VM into a userspace driver, with the benefits of +significantly reduced latency, higher bandwidth, and direct use of +bare-metal device drivers [3]_. + +Some applications, particularly in the high performance computing +field, also benefit from low-overhead, direct device access from +userspace. Examples include network adapters (often non-TCP/IP based) +and compute accelerators. Prior to VFIO, these drivers had to either +go through the full development cycle to become proper upstream +driver, be maintained out of tree, or make use of the UIO framework, +which has no notion of IOMMU protection, limited interrupt support, +and requires root privileges to access things like PCI configuration +space. + +The VFIO driver framework intends to unify these, replacing both the +KVM PCI specific device assignment code as well as provide a more +secure, more featureful userspace driver environment than UIO. + +Groups, Devices, and IOMMUs +--------------------------- + +Devices are the main target of any I/O driver. Devices typically +create a programming interface made up of I/O access, interrupts, +and DMA. Without going into the details of each of these, DMA is +by far the most critical aspect for maintaining a secure environment +as allowing a device read-write access to system memory imposes the +greatest risk to the overall system integrity. + +To help mitigate this risk, many modern IOMMUs now incorporate +isolation properties into what was, in many cases, an interface only +meant for translation (ie. solving the addressing problems of devices +with limited address spaces). With this, devices can now be isolated +from each other and from arbitrary memory access, thus allowing +things like secure direct assignment of devices into virtual machines. + +This isolation is not always at the granularity of a single device +though. Even when an IOMMU is capable of this, properties of devices, +interconnects, and IOMMU topologies can each reduce this isolation. +For instance, an individual device may be part of a larger multi- +function enclosure. While the IOMMU may be able to distinguish +between devices within the enclosure, the enclosure may not require +transactions between devices to reach the IOMMU. Examples of this +could be anything from a multi-function PCI device with backdoors +between functions to a non-PCI-ACS (Access Control Services) capable +bridge allowing redirection without reaching the IOMMU. Topology +can also play a factor in terms of hiding devices. A PCIe-to-PCI +bridge masks the devices behind it, making transaction appear as if +from the bridge itself. Obviously IOMMU design plays a major factor +as well. + +Therefore, while for the most part an IOMMU may have device level +granularity, any system is susceptible to reduced granularity. The +IOMMU API therefore supports a notion of IOMMU groups. A group is +a set of devices which is isolatable from all other devices in the +system. Groups are therefore the unit of ownership used by VFIO. + +While the group is the minimum granularity that must be used to +ensure secure user access, it's not necessarily the preferred +granularity. In IOMMUs which make use of page tables, it may be +possible to share a set of page tables between different groups, +reducing the overhead both to the platform (reduced TLB thrashing, +reduced duplicate page tables), and to the user (programming only +a single set of translations). For this reason, VFIO makes use of +a container class, which may hold one or more groups. A container +is created by simply opening the /dev/vfio/vfio character device. + +On its own, the container provides little functionality, with all +but a couple version and extension query interfaces locked away. +The user needs to add a group into the container for the next level +of functionality. To do this, the user first needs to identify the +group associated with the desired device. This can be done using +the sysfs links described in the example below. By unbinding the +device from the host driver and binding it to a VFIO driver, a new +VFIO group will appear for the group as /dev/vfio/$GROUP, where +$GROUP is the IOMMU group number of which the device is a member. +If the IOMMU group contains multiple devices, each will need to +be bound to a VFIO driver before operations on the VFIO group +are allowed (it's also sufficient to only unbind the device from +host drivers if a VFIO driver is unavailable; this will make the +group available, but not that particular device). TBD - interface +for disabling driver probing/locking a device. + +Once the group is ready, it may be added to the container by opening +the VFIO group character device (/dev/vfio/$GROUP) and using the +VFIO_GROUP_SET_CONTAINER ioctl, passing the file descriptor of the +previously opened container file. If desired and if the IOMMU driver +supports sharing the IOMMU context between groups, multiple groups may +be set to the same container. If a group fails to set to a container +with existing groups, a new empty container will need to be used +instead. + +With a group (or groups) attached to a container, the remaining +ioctls become available, enabling access to the VFIO IOMMU interfaces. +Additionally, it now becomes possible to get file descriptors for each +device within a group using an ioctl on the VFIO group file descriptor. + +The VFIO device API includes ioctls for describing the device, the I/O +regions and their read/write/mmap offsets on the device descriptor, as +well as mechanisms for describing and registering interrupt +notifications. + +VFIO Usage Example +------------------ + +Assume user wants to access PCI device 0000:06:0d.0:: + + $ readlink /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:06:0d.0/iommu_group + ../../../../kernel/iommu_groups/26 + +This device is therefore in IOMMU group 26.

When devices are bound and unbound to the driver, +the driver should call vfio_register_group_dev() and +vfio_unregister_group_dev() respectively:: + + void vfio_init_group_dev(struct vfio_device *device, + struct device *dev, + const struct vfio_device_ops *ops); + void vfio_uninit_group_dev(struct vfio_device *device); + int vfio_register_group_dev(struct vfio_device *device); + void vfio_unregister_group_dev(struct vfio_device *device); + +The driver should embed the vfio_device in its own structure and call +vfio_init_group_dev() to pre-configure it before going to registration +and call vfio_uninit_group_dev() after completing the un-registration. +vfio_register_group_dev() indicates to the core to begin tracking the +iommu_group of the specified dev and register the dev as owned by a VFIO bus +driver. Once vfio_register_group_dev() returns it is possible for userspace to +start accessing the driver, thus the driver should ensure it is completely +ready before calling it. The driver provides an ops structure for callbacks +similar to a file operations structure:: + + struct vfio_device_ops { + int (*open)(struct vfio_device *vdev); + void (*release)(struct vfio_device *vdev); + ssize_t (*read)(struct vfio_device *vdev, char __user *buf, + size_t count, loff_t *ppos); + ssize_t (*write)(struct vfio_device *vdev, + const char __user *buf, + size_t size, loff_t *ppos); + long (*ioctl)(struct vfio_device *vdev, unsigned int cmd, + unsigned long arg); + int (*mmap)(struct vfio_device *vdev, + struct vm_area_struct *vma); + }; + +Each function is passed the vdev that was originally registered +in the vfio_register_group_dev() call above. This allows the bus driver +to obtain its private data using container_of(). The open/release +callbacks are issued when a new file descriptor is created for a +device (via VFIO_GROUP_GET_DEVICE_FD). The ioctl interface provides +a direct pass through for VFIO_DEVICE_* ioctls. The read/write/mmap +interfaces implement the device region access defined by the device's +own VFIO_DEVICE_GET_REGION_INFO ioctl. + + +PPC64 sPAPR implementation note +------------------------------- + +This implementation has some specifics: + +1) On older systems (POWER7 with P5IOC2/IODA1) only one IOMMU group per + container is supported as an IOMMU table is allocated at the boot time, + one table per a IOMMU group which is a Partitionable Endpoint (PE) + (PE is often a PCI domain but not always). + + Newer systems (POWER8 with IODA2) have improved hardware design which allows + to remove this limitation and have multiple IOMMU groups per a VFIO + container. + +2) The hardware supports so called DMA windows - the PCI address range + within which DMA transfer is allowed, any attempt to access address space + out of the window leads to the whole PE isolation. + +3) PPC64 guests are paravirtualized but not fully emulated. There is an API + to map/unmap pages for DMA, and it normally maps 1..32 pages per call and + currently there is no way to reduce the number of calls. In order to make + things faster, the map/unmap handling has been implemented in real mode + which provides an excellent performance which has limitations such as + inability to do locked pages accounting in real time. + +4) According to sPAPR specification, A Partitionable Endpoint (PE) is an I/O + subtree that can be treated as a unit for the purposes of partitioning and + error recovery. A PE may be a single or multi-function IOA (IO Adapter), a + function of a multi-function IOA, or multiple IOAs (possibly including + switch and bridge structures above the multiple IOAs). PPC64 guests detect + PCI errors and recover from them via EEH RTAS services, which works on the + basis of additional ioctl commands. + + So 4 additional ioctls have been added: + + VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_GET_INFO + returns the size and the start of the DMA window on the PCI bus. + + VFIO_IOMMU_ENABLE + enables the container. The locked pages accounting + is done at this point. This lets user first to know what + the DMA window is and adjust rlimit before doing any real job. + + VFIO_IOMMU_DISABLE + disables the container. + + VFIO_EEH_PE_OP + provides an API for EEH setup, error detection and recovery. + + The code flow from the example above should be slightly changed:: + + struct vfio_eeh_pe_op pe_op = { .argsz = sizeof(pe_op), .flags = 0 }; + + ..... + /* Add the group to the container */ + ioctl(group, VFIO_GROUP_SET_CONTAINER, &container); + + /* Enable the IOMMU model we want */ + ioctl(container, VFIO_SET_IOMMU, VFIO_SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU) + + /* Get addition sPAPR IOMMU info */ + vfio_iommu_spapr_tce_info spapr_iommu_info; + ioctl(container, VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_GET_INFO, &spapr_iommu_info); + + if (ioctl(container, VFIO_IOMMU_ENABLE)) + /* Cannot enable container, may be low rlimit */ + + /* Allocate some space and setup a DMA mapping */ + dma_map.vaddr = mmap(0, 1024 * 1024, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, + MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0); + + dma_map.size = 1024 * 1024; + dma_map.iova = 0; /* 1MB starting at 0x0 from device view */ + dma_map.flags = VFIO_DMA_MAP_FLAG_READ | VFIO_DMA_MAP_FLAG_WRITE; + + /* Check here is .iova/.size are within DMA window from spapr_iommu_info */ + ioctl(container, VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA, &dma_map); + + /* Get a file descriptor for the device */ + device = ioctl(group, VFIO_GROUP_GET_DEVICE_FD, "0000:06:0d.0"); + + .... + + /* Gratuitous device reset and go... */ + ioctl(device, VFIO_DEVICE_RESET); + + /* Make sure EEH is supported */ + ioctl(container, VFIO_CHECK_EXTENSION, VFIO_EEH); + + /* Enable the EEH functionality on the device */ + pe_op.op = VFIO_EEH_PE_ENABLE; + ioctl(container, VFIO_EEH_PE_OP, &pe_op); + + /* You're suggested to create additional data struct to represent + * PE, and put child devices belonging to same IOMMU group to the + * PE instance for later reference. + */ + + /* Check the PE's state and make sure it's in functional state */ + pe_op.op = VFIO_EEH_PE_GET_STATE; + ioctl(container, VFIO_EEH_PE_OP, &pe_op); + + /* Save device state using pci_save_state(). + * EEH should be enabled on the specified device. + */ + + .... + + /* Inject EEH error, which is expected to be caused by 32-bits + * config load. + */ + pe_op.op = VFIO_EEH_PE_INJECT_ERR; + pe_op.err.type = EEH_ERR_TYPE_32; + pe_op.err.func = EEH_ERR_FUNC_LD_CFG_ADDR; + pe_op.err.addr = 0ul; + pe_op.err.mask = 0ul; + ioctl(container, VFIO_EEH_PE_OP, &pe_op); + + .... + + /* When 0xFF's returned from reading PCI config space or IO BARs + * of the PCI device.

It deprecates VFIO_IOMMU_ENABLE/ + VFIO_IOMMU_DISABLE and implements 2 new ioctls: + VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_REGISTER_MEMORY and VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_UNREGISTER_MEMORY + (which are unsupported in v1 IOMMU). + + PPC64 paravirtualized guests generate a lot of map/unmap requests, + and the handling of those includes pinning/unpinning pages and updating + mm::locked_vm counter to make sure we do not exceed the rlimit. + The v2 IOMMU splits accounting and pinning into separate operations: + + - VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_REGISTER_MEMORY/VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_UNREGISTER_MEMORY ioctls + receive a user space address and size of the block to be pinned. + Bisecting is not supported and VFIO_IOMMU_UNREGISTER_MEMORY is expected to + be called with the exact address and size used for registering + the memory block. The userspace is not expected to call these often. + The ranges are stored in a linked list in a VFIO container. + + - VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA/VFIO_IOMMU_UNMAP_DMA ioctls only update the actual + IOMMU table and do not do pinning; instead these check that the userspace + address is from pre-registered range. + + This separation helps in optimizing DMA for guests. + +6) sPAPR specification allows guests to have an additional DMA window(s) on + a PCI bus with a variable page size. Two ioctls have been added to support + this: VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_CREATE and VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_REMOVE. + The platform has to support the functionality or error will be returned to + the userspace. The existing hardware supports up to 2 DMA windows, one is + 2GB long, uses 4K pages and called "default 32bit window"; the other can + be as big as entire RAM, use different page size, it is optional - guests + create those in run-time if the guest driver supports 64bit DMA. + + VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_CREATE receives a page shift, a DMA window size and + a number of TCE table levels (if a TCE table is going to be big enough and + the kernel may not be able to allocate enough of physically contiguous + memory). It creates a new window in the available slot and returns the bus + address where the new window starts. Due to hardware limitation, the user + space cannot choose the location of DMA windows. + + VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_REMOVE receives the bus start address of the window + and removes it. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +.. [1] VFIO was originally an acronym for "Virtual Function I/O" in its + initial implementation by Tom Lyon while as Cisco. We've since + outgrown the acronym, but it's catchy. + +.. [2] "safe" also depends upon a device being "well behaved". It's + possible for multi-function devices to have backdoors between + functions and even for single function devices to have alternative + access to things like PCI config space through MMIO registers. To + guard against the former we can include additional precautions in the + IOMMU driver to group multi-function PCI devices together + (iommu=group_mf). The latter we can't prevent, but the IOMMU should + still provide isolation. For PCI, SR-IOV Virtual Functions are the + best indicator of "well behaved", as these are designed for + virtualization usage models. + +.. [3] As always there are trade-offs to virtual machine device + assignment that are beyond the scope of VFIO. It's expected that + future IOMMU technologies will reduce some, but maybe not all, of + these trade-offs. + +..

This is +achieved via a call to :c:func:`vme_register_driver`. + +A pointer to a structure of type :c:type:`struct vme_driver <vme_driver>` must +be provided to the registration function. Along with the maximum number of +devices your driver is able to support. + +At the minimum, the '.name', '.match' and '.probe' elements of +:c:type:`struct vme_driver <vme_driver>` should be correctly set. The '.name' +element is a pointer to a string holding the device driver's name. + +The '.match' function allows control over which VME devices should be registered +with the driver. The match function should return 1 if a device should be +probed and 0 otherwise. This example match function (from vme_user.c) limits +the number of devices probed to one: + +.. code-block:: c + + #define USER_BUS_MAX 1 + ... + static int vme_user_match(struct vme_dev *vdev) + { + if (vdev->id.num >= USER_BUS_MAX) + return 0; + return 1; + } + +The '.probe' element should contain a pointer to the probe routine. The +probe routine is passed a :c:type:`struct vme_dev <vme_dev>` pointer as an +argument. + +Here, the 'num' field refers to the sequential device ID for this specific +driver. The bridge number (or bus number) can be accessed using +dev->bridge->num. + +A function is also provided to unregister the driver from the VME core called +:c:func:`vme_unregister_driver` and should usually be called from the device +driver's exit routine. + + +Resource management +------------------- + +Once a driver has registered with the VME core the provided match routine will +be called the number of times specified during the registration. If a match +succeeds, a non-zero value should be returned. A zero return value indicates +failure. For all successful matches, the probe routine of the corresponding +driver is called. The probe routine is passed a pointer to the devices +device structure. This pointer should be saved, it will be required for +requesting VME resources. + +The driver can request ownership of one or more master windows +(:c:func:`vme_master_request`), slave windows (:c:func:`vme_slave_request`) +and/or dma channels (:c:func:`vme_dma_request`). Rather than allowing the device +driver to request a specific window or DMA channel (which may be used by a +different driver) the API allows a resource to be assigned based on the required +attributes of the driver in question. For slave windows these attributes are +split into the VME address spaces that need to be accessed in 'aspace' and VME +bus cycle types required in 'cycle'. Master windows add a further set of +attributes in 'width' specifying the required data transfer widths. These +attributes are defined as bitmasks and as such any combination of the +attributes can be requested for a single window, the core will assign a window +that meets the requirements, returning a pointer of type vme_resource that +should be used to identify the allocated resource when it is used. For DMA +controllers, the request function requires the potential direction of any +transfers to be provided in the route attributes. This is typically VME-to-MEM +and/or MEM-to-VME, though some hardware can support VME-to-VME and MEM-to-MEM +transfers as well as test pattern generation. If an unallocated window fitting +the requirements can not be found a NULL pointer will be returned. + +Functions are also provided to free window allocations once they are no longer +required. These functions (:c:func:`vme_master_free`, :c:func:`vme_slave_free` +and :c:func:`vme_dma_free`) should be passed the pointer to the resource +provided during resource allocation. + + +Master windows +-------------- + +Master windows provide access from the local processor[s] out onto the VME bus. +The number of windows available and the available access modes is dependent on +the underlying chipset. A window must be configured before it can be used. + + +Master window configuration +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Once a master window has been assigned :c:func:`vme_master_set` can be used to +configure it and :c:func:`vme_master_get` to retrieve the current settings. The +address spaces, transfer widths and cycle types are the same as described +under resource management, however some of the options are mutually exclusive. +For example, only one address space may be specified. + + +Master window access +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The function :c:func:`vme_master_read` can be used to read from and +:c:func:`vme_master_write` used to write to configured master windows. + +In addition to simple reads and writes, :c:func:`vme_master_rmw` is provided to +do a read-modify-write transaction. Parts of a VME window can also be mapped +into user space memory using :c:func:`vme_master_mmap`. + + +Slave windows +------------- + +Slave windows provide devices on the VME bus access into mapped portions of the +local memory. The number of windows available and the access modes that can be +used is dependent on the underlying chipset. A window must be configured before +it can be used. + + +Slave window configuration +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Once a slave window has been assigned :c:func:`vme_slave_set` can be used to +configure it and :c:func:`vme_slave_get` to retrieve the current settings. + +The address spaces, transfer widths and cycle types are the same as described +under resource management, however some of the options are mutually exclusive. +For example, only one address space may be specified. + + +Slave window buffer allocation +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Functions are provided to allow the user to allocate +(:c:func:`vme_alloc_consistent`) and free (:c:func:`vme_free_consistent`) +contiguous buffers which will be accessible by the VME bridge. These functions +do not have to be used, other methods can be used to allocate a buffer, though +care must be taken to ensure that they are contiguous and accessible by the VME +bridge. + + +Slave window access +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Slave windows map local memory onto the VME bus, the standard methods for +accessing memory should be used. + + +DMA channels +------------ + +The VME DMA transfer provides the ability to run link-list DMA transfers. The +API introduces the concept of DMA lists. Each DMA list is a link-list which can +be passed to a DMA controller. Multiple lists can be created, extended, +executed, reused and destroyed. + + +List Management +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The function :c:func:`vme_new_dma_list` is provided to create and +:c:func:`vme_dma_list_free` to destroy DMA lists. Execution of a list will not +automatically destroy the list, thus enabling a list to be reused for repetitive +tasks. + + +List Population +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +An item can be added to a list using :c:func:`vme_dma_list_add` (the source and +destination attributes need to be created before calling this function, this is +covered under "Transfer Attributes"). + +.. note:: + + The detailed attributes of the transfers source and destination + are not checked until an entry is added to a DMA list, the request + for a DMA channel purely checks the directions in which the + controller is expected to transfer data. As a result it is + possible for this call to return an error, for example if the + source or destination is in an unsupported VME address space. + +Transfer Attributes +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The attributes for the source and destination are handled separately from adding +an item to a list. This is due to the diverse attributes required for each type +of source and destination. There are functions to create attributes for PCI, VME +and pattern sources and destinations (where appropriate): + + - PCI source or destination: :c:func:`vme_dma_pci_attribute` + - VME source or destination: :c:func:`vme_dma_vme_attribute` + - Pattern source: :c:func:`vme_dma_pattern_attribute` + +The function :c:func:`vme_dma_free_attribute` should be used to free an +attribute. + + +List Execution +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The function :c:func:`vme_dma_list_exec` queues a list for execution and will +return once the list has been executed. + + +Interrupts +---------- + +The VME API provides functions to attach and detach callbacks to specific VME +level and status ID combinations and for the generation of VME interrupts with +specific VME level and status IDs. + + +Attaching Interrupt Handlers +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The function :c:func:`vme_irq_request` can be used to attach and +:c:func:`vme_irq_free` to free a specific VME level and status ID combination. +Any given combination can only be assigned a single callback function. A void +pointer parameter is provided, the value of which is passed to the callback +function, the use of this pointer is user undefined. The callback parameters are +as follows. Care must be taken in writing a callback function, callback +functions run in interrupt context: + +.. code-block:: c + + void callback(int level, int statid, void *priv); + + +Interrupt Generation +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The function :c:func:`vme_irq_generate` can be used to generate a VME interrupt +at a given VME level and VME status ID. + + +Location monitors +----------------- + +The VME API provides the following functionality to configure the location +monitor. + + +Location Monitor Management +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The function :c:func:`vme_lm_request` is provided to request the use of a block +of location monitors and :c:func:`vme_lm_free` to free them after they are no +longer required. Each block may provide a number of location monitors, +monitoring adjacent locations. The function :c:func:`vme_lm_count` can be used +to determine how many locations are provided. + + +Location Monitor Configuration +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Once a bank of location monitors has been allocated, the function +:c:func:`vme_lm_set` is provided to configure the location and mode of the +location monitor.

FPGAs are the LEGO of hardware: +Based upon certain building blocks, you make your own toys the way you like +them. It's usually pointless to reimplement something that is already +available on the market as a chipset, so FPGAs are mostly used when some +special functionality is needed, and the production volume is relatively low +(hence not justifying the development of an ASIC). + +The challenge with FPGAs is that everything is implemented at a very low +level, even lower than assembly language. In order to allow FPGA designers to +focus on their specific project, and not reinvent the wheel over and over +again, pre-designed building blocks, IP cores, are often used. These are the +FPGA parallels of library functions. IP cores may implement certain +mathematical functions, a functional unit (e.g. a USB interface), an entire +processor (e.g. ARM) or anything that might come handy. Think of them as a +building block, with electrical wires dangling on the sides for connection to +other blocks. + +One of the daunting tasks in FPGA design is communicating with a fullblown +operating system (actually, with the processor running it): Implementing the +low-level bus protocol and the somewhat higher-level interface with the host +(registers, interrupts, DMA etc.) is a project in itself. When the FPGA's +function is a well-known one (e.g. a video adapter card, or a NIC), it can +make sense to design the FPGA's interface logic specifically for the project. +A special driver is then written to present the FPGA as a well-known interface +to the kernel and/or user space. In that case, there is no reason to treat the +FPGA differently than any device on the bus. + +It's however common that the desired data communication doesn't fit any well- +known peripheral function. Also, the effort of designing an elegant +abstraction for the data exchange is often considered too big. In those cases, +a quicker and possibly less elegant solution is sought: The driver is +effectively written as a user space program, leaving the kernel space part +with just elementary data transport. This still requires designing some +interface logic for the FPGA, and write a simple ad-hoc driver for the kernel. + +Xillybus Overview +----------------- + +Xillybus is an IP core and a Linux driver. Together, they form a kit for +elementary data transport between an FPGA and the host, providing pipe-like +data streams with a straightforward user interface. It's intended as a low- +effort solution for mixed FPGA-host projects, for which it makes sense to +have the project-specific part of the driver running in a user-space program. + +Since the communication requirements may vary significantly from one FPGA +project to another (the number of data pipes needed in each direction and +their attributes), there isn't one specific chunk of logic being the Xillybus +IP core. Rather, the IP core is configured and built based upon a +specification given by its end user. + +Xillybus presents independent data streams, which resemble pipes or TCP/IP +communication to the user. At the host side, a character device file is used +just like any pipe file. On the FPGA side, hardware FIFOs are used to stream +the data. This is contrary to a common method of communicating through fixed- +sized buffers (even though such buffers are used by Xillybus under the hood). +There may be more than a hundred of these streams on a single IP core, but +also no more than one, depending on the configuration. + +In order to ease the deployment of the Xillybus IP core, it contains a simple +data structure which completely defines the core's configuration. The Linux +driver fetches this data structure during its initialization process, and sets +up the DMA buffers and character devices accordingly. As a result, a single +driver is used to work out of the box with any Xillybus IP core. + +The data structure just mentioned should not be confused with PCI's +configuration space or the Flattened Device Tree. + +Usage +===== + +User interface +-------------- + +On the host, all interface with Xillybus is done through /dev/xillybus_* +device files, which are generated automatically as the drivers loads. The +names of these files depend on the IP core that is loaded in the FPGA (see +Probing below). To communicate with the FPGA, open the device file that +corresponds to the hardware FIFO you want to send data or receive data from, +and use plain write() or read() calls, just like with a regular pipe. In +particular, it makes perfect sense to go:: + + $ cat mydata > /dev/xillybus_thisfifo + + $ cat /dev/xillybus_thatfifo > hisdata + +possibly pressing CTRL-C as some stage, even though the xillybus_* pipes have +the capability to send an EOF (but may not use it). + +The driver and hardware are designed to behave sensibly as pipes, including: + +* Supporting non-blocking I/O (by setting O_NONBLOCK on open() ). + +* Supporting poll() and select(). + +* Being bandwidth efficient under load (using DMA) but also handle small + pieces of data sent across (like TCP/IP) by autoflushing. + +A device file can be read only, write only or bidirectional. Bidirectional +device files are treated like two independent pipes (except for sharing a +"channel" structure in the implementation code). + +Synchronization +--------------- + +Xillybus pipes are configured (on the IP core) to be either synchronous or +asynchronous. For a synchronous pipe, write() returns successfully only after +some data has been submitted and acknowledged by the FPGA. This slows down +bulk data transfers, and is nearly impossible for use with streams that +require data at a constant rate: There is no data transmitted to the FPGA +between write() calls, in particular when the process loses the CPU. + +When a pipe is configured asynchronous, write() returns if there was enough +room in the buffers to store any of the data in the buffers. + +For FPGA to host pipes, asynchronous pipes allow data transfer from the FPGA +as soon as the respective device file is opened, regardless of if the data +has been requested by a read() call. On synchronous pipes, only the amount +of data requested by a read() call is transmitted. + +In summary, for synchronous pipes, data between the host and FPGA is +transmitted only to satisfy the read() or write() call currently handled +by the driver, and those calls wait for the transmission to complete before +returning. + +Note that the synchronization attribute has nothing to do with the possibility +that read() or write() completes less bytes than requested. There is a +separate configuration flag ("allowpartial") that determines whether such a +partial completion is allowed. + +Seekable pipes +-------------- + +A synchronous pipe can be configured to have the stream's position exposed +to the user logic at the FPGA. Such a pipe is also seekable on the host API. +With this feature, a memory or register interface can be attached on the +FPGA side to the seekable stream. Reading or writing to a certain address in +the attached memory is done by seeking to the desired address, and calling +read() or write() as required. + + +Internals +========= + +Source code organization +------------------------ + +The Xillybus driver consists of a core module, xillybus_core.c, and modules +that depend on the specific bus interface (xillybus_of.c and xillybus_pcie.c). + +The bus specific modules are those probed when a suitable device is found by +the kernel. Since the DMA mapping and synchronization functions, which are bus +dependent by their nature, are used by the core module, a +xilly_endpoint_hardware structure is passed to the core module on +initialization. This structure is populated with pointers to wrapper functions +which execute the DMA-related operations on the bus. + +Pipe attributes +--------------- + +Each pipe has a number of attributes which are set when the FPGA component +(IP core) is built. They are fetched from the IDT (the data structure which +defines the core's configuration, see Probing below) by xilly_setupchannels() +in xillybus_core.c as follows: + +* is_writebuf: The pipe's direction. A non-zero value means it's an FPGA to + host pipe (the FPGA "writes"). + +* channelnum: The pipe's identification number in communication between the + host and FPGA. + +* format: The underlying data width. See Data Granularity below. + +* allowpartial: A non-zero value means that a read() or write() (whichever + applies) may return with less than the requested number of bytes. The common + choice is a non-zero value, to match standard UNIX behavior. + +* synchronous: A non-zero value means that the pipe is synchronous. See + Synchronization above. + +* bufsize: Each DMA buffer's size. Always a power of two. + +* bufnum: The number of buffers allocated for this pipe. Always a power of two. + +* exclusive_open: A non-zero value forces exclusive opening of the associated + device file. If the device file is bidirectional, and already opened only in + one direction, the opposite direction may be opened once. + +* seekable: A non-zero value indicates that the pipe is seekable. See + Seekable pipes above. + +* supports_nonempty: A non-zero value (which is typical) indicates that the + hardware will send the messages that are necessary to support select() and + poll() for this pipe. + +Host never reads from the FPGA +------------------------------ + +Even though PCI Express is hotpluggable in general, a typical motherboard +doesn't expect a card to go away all of the sudden. But since the PCIe card +is based upon reprogrammable logic, a sudden disappearance from the bus is +quite likely as a result of an accidental reprogramming of the FPGA while the +host is up. In practice, nothing happens immediately in such a situation. But +if the host attempts to read from an address that is mapped to the PCI Express +device, that leads to an immediate freeze of the system on some motherboards, +even though the PCIe standard requires a graceful recovery. + +In order to avoid these freezes, the Xillybus driver refrains completely from +reading from the device's register space. All communication from the FPGA to +the host is done through DMA. In particular, the Interrupt Service Routine +doesn't follow the common practice of checking a status register when it's +invoked. Rather, the FPGA prepares a small buffer which contains short +messages, which inform the host what the interrupt was about. + +This mechanism is used on non-PCIe buses as well for the sake of uniformity. + + +Channels, pipes, and the message channel +---------------------------------------- + +Each of the (possibly bidirectional) pipes presented to the user is allocated +a data channel between the FPGA and the host. The distinction between channels +and pipes is necessary only because of channel 0, which is used for interrupt- +related messages from the FPGA, and has no pipe attached to it. + +Data streaming +-------------- + +Even though a non-segmented data stream is presented to the user at both +sides, the implementation relies on a set of DMA buffers which is allocated +for each channel. For the sake of illustration, let's take the FPGA to host +direction: As data streams into the respective channel's interface in the +FPGA, the Xillybus IP core writes it to one of the DMA buffers. When the +buffer is full, the FPGA informs the host about that (appending a +XILLYMSG_OPCODE_RELEASEBUF message channel 0 and sending an interrupt if +necessary). The host responds by making the data available for reading through +the character device. When all data has been read, the host writes on the +FPGA's buffer control register, allowing the buffer's overwriting. Flow +control mechanisms exist on both sides to prevent underflows and overflows. + +This is not good enough for creating a TCP/IP-like stream: If the data flow +stops momentarily before a DMA buffer is filled, the intuitive expectation is +that the partial data in buffer will arrive anyhow, despite the buffer not +being completed. This is implemented by adding a field in the +XILLYMSG_OPCODE_RELEASEBUF message, through which the FPGA informs not just +which buffer is submitted, but how much data it contains. + +But the FPGA will submit a partially filled buffer only if directed to do so +by the host. This situation occurs when the read() method has been blocking +for XILLY_RX_TIMEOUT jiffies (currently 10 ms), after which the host commands +the FPGA to submit a DMA buffer as soon as it can. This timeout mechanism +balances between bus bandwidth efficiency (preventing a lot of partially +filled buffers being sent) and a latency held fairly low for tails of data. + +A similar setting is used in the host to FPGA direction. The handling of +partial DMA buffers is somewhat different, though. The user can tell the +driver to submit all data it has in the buffers to the FPGA, by issuing a +write() with the byte count set to zero. This is similar to a flush request, +but it doesn't block. There is also an autoflushing mechanism, which triggers +an equivalent flush roughly XILLY_RX_TIMEOUT jiffies after the last write(). +This allows the user to be oblivious about the underlying buffering mechanism +and yet enjoy a stream-like interface. + +Note that the issue of partial buffer flushing is irrelevant for pipes having +the "synchronous" attribute nonzero, since synchronous pipes don't allow data +to lay around in the DMA buffers between read() and write() anyhow. + +Data granularity +---------------- + +The data arrives or is sent at the FPGA as 8, 16 or 32 bit wide words, as +configured by the "format" attribute. Whenever possible, the driver attempts +to hide this when the pipe is accessed differently from its natural alignment. +For example, reading single bytes from a pipe with 32 bit granularity works +with no issues. Writing single bytes to pipes with 16 or 32 bit granularity +will also work, but the driver can't send partially completed words to the +FPGA, so the transmission of up to one word may be held until it's fully +occupied with user data. + +This somewhat complicates the handling of host to FPGA streams, because +when a buffer is flushed, it may contain up to 3 bytes don't form a word in +the FPGA, and hence can't be sent. To prevent loss of data, these leftover +bytes need to be moved to the next buffer. The parts in xillybus_core.c +that mention "leftovers" in some way are related to this complication. + +Probing +------- + +As mentioned earlier, the number of pipes that are created when the driver +loads and their attributes depend on the Xillybus IP core in the FPGA. During +the driver's initialization, a blob containing configuration info, the +Interface Description Table (IDT), is sent from the FPGA to the host. The +bootstrap process is done in three phases: + +1. Acquire the length of the IDT, so a buffer can be allocated for it. This + is done by sending a quiesce command to the device, since the acknowledge + for this command contains the IDT's buffer length. + +2. Acquire the IDT itself. + +3. Create the interfaces according to the IDT. + +Buffer allocation +----------------- + +In order to simplify the logic that prevents illegal boundary crossings of +PCIe packets, the following rule applies: If a buffer is smaller than 4kB, +it must not cross a 4kB boundary. Otherwise, it must be 4kB aligned. The +xilly_setupchannels() functions allocates these buffers by requesting whole +pages from the kernel, and diving them into DMA buffers as necessary. Since +all buffers' sizes are powers of two, it's possible to pack any set of such +buffers, with a maximal waste of one page of memory. + +All buffers are allocated when the driver is loaded. This is necessary, +since large continuous physical memory segments are sometimes requested, +which are more likely to be available when the system is freshly booted. + +The allocation of buffer memory takes place in the same order they appear in +the IDT. The driver relies on a rule that the pipes are sorted with decreasing +buffer size in the IDT. If a requested buffer is larger or equal to a page, +the necessary number of pages is requested from the kernel, and these are +used for this buffer. If the requested buffer is smaller than a page, one +single page is requested from the kernel, and that page is partially used. +Or, if there already is a partially used page at hand, the buffer is packed +into that page. It can be shown that all pages requested from the kernel +(except possibly for the last) are 100% utilized this way. + +The "nonempty" message (supporting poll) +---------------------------------------- + +In order to support the "poll" method (and hence select() ), there is a small +catch regarding the FPGA to host direction: The FPGA may have filled a DMA +buffer with some data, but not submitted that buffer. If the host waited for +the buffer's submission by the FPGA, there would be a possibility that the +FPGA side has sent data, but a select() call would still block, because the +host has not received any notification about this. This is solved with +XILLYMSG_OPCODE_NONEMPTY messages sent by the FPGA when a channel goes from +completely empty to containing some data. + +These messages are used only to support poll() and select(). The IP core can +be configured not to send them for a slight reduction of bandwidth. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/zorro.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/zorro.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..664072b01 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/zorro.rst @@ -0,0 +1,104 @@ +======================================== +Writing Device Drivers for Zorro Devices +======================================== + +:Author: Written by Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> +:Last revised: September 5, 2003 + + +Introduction +------------ + +The Zorro bus is the bus used in the Amiga family of computers.
