There are also MMC and USB APIs used outside of drivers/block, - those will be detailed in their specific documents. - - Block devices are described by block_dev_desc structure, that holds, among - other things, the read/write/erase callbacks. Block device structures are - stored in any way depending on the API, but can be accessed by - - block_dev_desc_t * $api_get_dev(int dev) - - function, as seen in disk/part.c. - - 1) SATA interface - ----------------- - - The SATA interface drivers implement the following functions: - - int init_sata(int dev) - int scan_sata(int dev) - ulong sata_read(int dev, ulong blknr, ulong blkcnt, void *buffer) - ulong sata_write(int dev, ulong blknr, ulong blkcnt, const void *buffer) - - Block devices are kept in sata_dev_desc[], which is prefilled with values - common to all SATA devices in cmd_sata.c, and then modified in init_sata - function in the drivers. Callbacks of the block device use SATA API - directly. The sata_get_dev function is defined in cmd_sata.c. - - 2) SCSI interface - ----------------- - - The SCSI interface drivers implement the following functions: - - void scsi_print_error(ccb *pccb) - int scsi_exec(ccb *pccb) - void scsi_bus_reset(void) - void scsi_low_level_init(int busdevfunc) - - The SCSI API works through the scsi_exec function, the actual operation - requested is found in the ccb structure. - - Block devices are kept in scsi_dev_desc[], which lives only in cmd_scsi.c. - Callbacks of the block device use functions from cmd_scsi.c, which in turn - call scsi_exec of the controller. The scsi_get_dev function is also defined - in cmd_scsi.c. - - 3) mg_disk interface - -------------------- - - The mg_disk interface drivers implement the following functions: - - struct mg_drv_data* mg_get_drv_data (void) - uint mg_disk_init (void) - uint mg_disk_read (u32 addr, u8 *buff, u32 len) - uint mg_disk_write(u32 addr, u8 *buff, u32 len) - uint mg_disk_write_sects(void *buff, u32 sect_num, u32 sect_cnt) - uint mg_disk_read_sects(void *buff, u32 sect_num, u32 sect_cnt) - - The mg_get_drv_data function is to be overridden per-board, but there are no - board in-tree that do this. - - Only one driver for this API exists, and it only supports one block device. - Callbacks for this device are implemented in mg_disk.c and call the mg_disk - API. The mg_disk_get_dev function is defined in mg_disk.c and ignores the - device number, always returning the same device. - - 4) systemace interface - ---------------------- - - The systemace interface does not define any driver API, and has no command - itself. The single defined function is systemace_get_devs() from - systemace.c, which returns a single static structure for the only supported - block device. Callbacks for this device are also implemented in systemace.c. - - 5) IDE interface - ---------------- - - The IDE interface drivers implement the following functions, but only if - CONFIG_IDE_AHB is set: - - uchar ide_read_register(int dev, unsigned int port); - void ide_write_register(int dev, unsigned int port, unsigned char val); - void ide_read_data(int dev, ulong *sect_buf, int words); - void ide_write_data(int dev, const ulong *sect_buf, int words); - - The first two functions are called from ide_inb()/ide_outb(), and will - default to direct memory access if CONFIG_IDE_AHB is not set, or - ide_inb()/ide_outb() functions will get overridden by the board altogether. - - The second two functions are called from input_data()/output_data() - functions, and also default to direct memory access, but cannot be - overridden by the board. - - One function shared by IDE drivers (but not defined in ide.h) is - int ide_preinit(void) - This function gets called from ide_init in cmd_ide.c if CONFIG_IDE_PREINIT - is defined, and will do the driver-specific initialization of the device. - - Block devices are kept in ide_dev_desc[], which is filled in cmd_ide.c. - Callbacks of the block device are defined in cmd_ide.c, and use the - ide_inb()/ide_outb()/input_data()/output_data() functions mentioned above. - The ide_get_dev function is defined in cmd_ide.c. - -II) Approach ------------- - - A new block controller core and an associated API will be created to mimic the - current SATA API, its drivers will have the following ops: - - struct block_ctrl_ops { - int scan(instance *i); - int reset(instance *i, int port); - lbaint_t read(instance *i, int port, lbaint_t start, lbatin_t length, - void *buffer); - lbaint_t write(instance *i, int port, lbaint_t start, lbatin_t length, - void*buffer); - } - - The current sata_init() function will be changed into the driver probe() - function. The read() and write() functions should never be called directly, - instead they should be called by block device driver for disks. - - Other block APIs would either be transformed into this API, or be kept as - legacy for old drivers, or be dropped altogether. - - Legacy driver APIs will each have its own driver core that will contain the - shared logic, which is currently located mostly in cmd_* files. Callbacks for - block device drivers will then probably be implemented as a part of the core - logic, and will use the driver ops (which will copy current state of - respective APIs) to do the work. - - All drivers will be cleaned up, most ifdefs should be converted into - platform_data, to enable support for multiple devices with different settings. - - A new block device core will also be created, and will keep track of all - block devices on all interfaces. - - Current block_dev_desc structure will be changed to fit the driver model, all - identification and configuration will be placed in private data, and - a single accessor and modifier will be defined, to accommodate the need for - different sets of options for different interfaces, while keeping the - structure small. The new block device drivers will have the following ops - structure (lbaint_t is either 32bit or 64bit unsigned, depending on - CONFIG_LBA48): - - struct blockdev_ops { - lbaint_t (*block_read)(struct instance *i, lbaint_t start, lbaint_t blkcnt, - void *buffer); - lbaint_t (*block_write)(struct instance *i, lbaint_t start, lbaint_t blkcnt, - void *buffer); - lbaint_t (*block_erase)(struct instance *i, lbaint_t start, lbaint_t blkcnt - ); - int (*get_option)(struct instance *i, enum blockdev_option_code op, - struct option *res); - int (*set_option)(struct instance *i, enum blockdev_option_code op, - struct option *val); - } - - struct option { - uint32_t flags - union data { - uint64_t data_u; - char* data_s; - void* data_p; - } - } - - enum blockdev_option_code { - BLKD_OPT_IFTYPE=0, - BLKD_OPT_TYPE, - BLKD_OPT_BLOCKSIZE, - BLKD_OPT_BLOCKCOUNT, - BLKD_OPT_REMOVABLE, - BLKD_OPT_LBA48, - BLKD_OPT_VENDOR, - BLKD_OPT_PRODICT, - BLKD_OPT_REVISION, - BLKD_OPT_SCSILUN, - BLKD_OPT_SCSITARGET, - BLKD_OPT_OFFSET - } - - Flags in option above will contain the type of returned data (which should be - checked against what is expected, even though the option requested should - specify it), and a flag to indicate whether the returned pointer needs to be - free()'d. - - The block device core will contain the logic now located in disk/part.c and - related files, and will be used to forward requests to block devices. The API - for the block device core will copy the ops of a block device (with a string - identifier instead of instance pointer). This means that partitions will also - be handled by the block device core, and exported as block devices, making - them transparent to the rest of the code. - - Sadly, this will change how file systems can access the devices, and thus will - affect a lot of places. However, these changes should be localized and easy to - implement. - - AHCI driver will be rewritten to fit the new unified block controller API, - making SCSI API easy to merge with sym53c8xx, or remove it once the device - driver has died. - - Optionally, IDE core may be changed into one driver with unified block - controller API, as most of it is already in one place and device drivers are - just sets of hooks. Additionally, mg_disk driver is unused and may be removed - in near future. - - -III) Analysis of in-tree drivers --------------------------------- - - ahci.c - ------ - SCSI API, will be rewritten for a different API. - - ata_piix.c - ---------- - SATA API, easy to port. - - fsl_sata.c - ---------- - SATA API, few CONFIG macros, easy to port. - - ftide020.c - ---------- - IDE API, defines CONFIG_IDE_AHB and ide_preinit hook functions. - - mg_disk.c - --------- - Single driver with mg_disk API, not much to change, easy to port. - - mvsata_ide.c - ------------ - IDE API, only defines ide_preinit hook function. - - mxc_ata.c - --------- - IDE API, only defines ide_preinit hook function. - - pata_bfin.c - ----------- - SATA API, easy to port. - - sata_dwc.c - ---------- - SATA API, easy to port. - - sata_sil3114.c - -------------- - SATA API, easy to port. - - sata_sil.c - ---------- - SATA API, easy to port. - - sil680.c - -------- - IDE API, only defines ide_preinit hook function. - - sym53c8xx.c - ----------- - SCSI API, may be merged with code from cmd_scsi. - - systemace.c - ----------- - Single driver with systemace API, not much to change, easy to port. diff --git a/doc/driver-model/UDM-cores.txt b/doc/driver-model/UDM-cores.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 6032333..0000000 --- a/doc/driver-model/UDM-cores.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,126 +0,0 @@ -The U-Boot Driver Model Project -=============================== -Driver cores API document -========================= - -Pavel Herrmann <morpheus.ibis@gmail.com> - -1) Overview ------------ - Driver cores will be used as a wrapper for devices of the same type, and as - an abstraction for device driver APIs. For each driver API (which roughly - correspond to device types), there will be one driver core. Each driver core - will implement three APIs - a driver API (which will be the same as API of - drivers the core wraps around), a core API (which will be implemented by all - cores) and a command API (core-specific API which will be exposed to - commands). - - A) Command API - The command API will provide access to shared functionality for a specific - device, which is currently located mostly in commands. Commands will be - rewritten to be more lightweight by using this API. As this API will be - different for each core, it is out of scope of this document. - - B) Driver API - The driver API will act as a wrapper around actual device drivers, - providing a single entrypoint for device access. All functions in this API - have an instance* argument (probably called "this" or "i"), which will be - examined by the core, and a correct function for the specified driver will - get called. - - If the core gets called with a group instance pointer (as discussed in - design), it will automatically select the instance that is associated - with this core, and use it as target of the call. if the group contains - multiple instances of a single type, the caller must explicitly use an - accessor to select the correct instance. - - This accessor will look like: - struct instance *get_instance_from_group(struct instance *group, int i) - - When called with a non-group instance, it will simply return the instance. - - C) Core API - The core API will be implemented by all cores, and will provide - functionality for getting driver instances from non-driver code. This API - will consist of following functions: - - int get_count(struct instance *core); - struct instance* get_instance(struct instance *core, int index); - int init(struct instance *core); - int bind(struct instance *core, struct instance *dev, void *ops, - void *hint); - int unbind(struct instance *core, instance *dev); - int replace(struct instance *core, struct_instance *new_dev, - struct instance *old_dev); - int destroy(struct instance *core); - int reloc(struct instance *new_core, struct instance *old_core); - - The 'hint' parameter of bind() serves for additional data a driver can - pass to the core, to help it create the correct internal state for this - instance. the replace() function will get called during instance - relocation, and will replace the old instance with the new one, keeping - the internal state untouched. - - -2) Lifetime of a driver core ----------------------------- - Driver cores will be initialized at runtime, to limit memory footprint in - early-init stage, when we have to fit into ~1KB of memory. All active cores - will be stored in a tree structure (referenced as "Core tree") in global data, - which provides good tradeoff between size and access time. - Every core will have a number constant associated with it, which will be used - to find the instance in Core tree, and to refer to the core in all calls - working with the Core tree. - The Core Tree should be implemented using B-tree (or a similar structure) - to guarantee acceptable time overhead in all cases. - - Code for working with the core (i2c in this example) follows: - - core_init(CORE_I2C); - This will check whether we already have a i2c core, and if not it creates - a new instance and adds it into the Core tree. This will not be exported, - all code should depend on get_core_instance to init the core when - necessary. - - get_core_instance(CORE_I2C); - This is an accessor into the Core tree, which will return the instance - of i2c core, creating it if necessary - - core_bind(CORE_I2C, instance, driver_ops); - This will get called in bind() function of a driver, and will add the - instance into cores internal list of devices. If the core is not found, it - will get created. - - driver_activate(instance *inst); - This call will recursively activate all devices necessary for using the - specified device. the code could be simplified as: - { - if (is_activated(inst)) - return; - driver_activate(inst->bus); - get_driver(inst)->probe(inst); - } - - The case with multiple parents will need to be handled here as well. - get_driver is an accessor to available drivers, which will get struct - driver based on a name in the instance. - - i2c_write(instance *inst, ...); - An actual call to some method of the driver. This code will look like: - { - driver_activate(inst); - struct instance *core = get_core_instance(CORE_I2C); - device_ops = get_ops(inst); - device_ops->write(...); - } - - get_ops will not be an exported function, it will be internal and specific - to the core, as it needs to know how are the ops stored, and what type - they are. - - Please note that above examples represent the algorithm, not the actual code, - as they are missing checks for validity of return values. - - core_init() function will get called the first time the core is requested, - either by core_link() or core_get_instance(). This way, the cores will get - created only when they are necessary, which will reduce our memory footprint. diff --git a/doc/driver-model/UDM-design.txt b/doc/driver-model/UDM-design.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 9f03bba..0000000 --- a/doc/driver-model/UDM-design.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,315 +0,0 @@ -The U-Boot Driver Model Project -=============================== -Design document -=============== -Marek Vasut <marek.vasut@gmail.com> -Pavel Herrmann <morpheus.ibis@gmail.com> -2012-05-17 - -I) The modular concept ----------------------- - -The driver core design is done with modularity in mind. The long-term plan is to -extend this modularity to allow loading not only drivers, but various other -objects into U-Boot at runtime -- like commands, support for other boards etc. - -II) Driver core initialization stages -------------------------------------- - -The drivers have to be initialized in two stages, since the U-Boot bootloader -runs in two stages itself. The first stage is the one which is executed before -the bootloader itself is relocated. The second stage then happens after -relocation. - - 1) First stage - -------------- - - The first stage runs after the bootloader did very basic hardware init. This - means the stack pointer was configured, caches disabled and that's about it. - The problem with this part is the memory management isn't running at all. To - make things even worse, at this point, the RAM is still likely uninitialized - and therefore unavailable. - - 2) Second stage - --------------- - - At this stage, the bootloader has initialized RAM and is running from it's - final location. Dynamic memory allocations are working at this point. Most of - the driver initialization is executed here. - -III) The drivers ----------------- - - 1) The structure of a driver - ---------------------------- - - The driver will contain a structure located in a separate section, which - will allow linker to create a list of compiled-in drivers at compile time. - Let's call this list "driver_list". - - struct driver __attribute__((section(driver_list))) { - /* The name of the driver */ - char name[STATIC_CONFIG_DRIVER_NAME_LENGTH]; - - /* - * This function should connect this driver with cores it depends on and - * with other drivers, likely bus drivers - */ - int (*bind)(struct instance *i); - - /* This function actually initializes the hardware. */ - int (*probe)(struct instance *i); - - /* - * The function of the driver called when U-Boot finished relocation. - * This is particularly important to eg. move pointers to DMA buffers - * and such from the location before relocation to their final location. - */ - int (*reloc)(struct instance *i); - - /* - * This is called when the driver is shuting down, to deinitialize the - * hardware. - */ - int (*remove)(struct instance *i); - - /* This is called to remove the driver from the driver tree */ - int (*unbind)(struct instance *i); - - /* This is a list of cores this driver depends on */ - struct driver *cores[]; - }; - - The cores[] array in here is very important. It allows u-boot to figure out, - in compile-time, which possible cores can be activated at runtime. Therefore - if there are cores that won't be ever activated, GCC LTO might remove them - from the final binary. Actually, this information might be used to drive build - of the cores. - - FIXME: Should *cores[] be really struct driver, pointing to drivers that - represent the cores? Shouldn't it be core instance pointer? - - 2) Instantiation of a driver - ---------------------------- - - The driver is instantiated by calling: - - driver_bind(struct instance *bus, const struct driver_info *di) - - The "struct instance *bus" is a pointer to a bus with which this driver should - be registered with. The "root" bus pointer is supplied to the board init - functions. - - FIXME: We need some functions that will return list of busses of certain type - registered with the system so the user can find proper instance even if - he has no bus pointer (this will come handy if the user isn't - registering the driver from board init function, but somewhere else). - - The "const struct driver_info *di" pointer points to a structure defining the - driver to be registered. The structure is defined as follows: - - struct driver_info { - char name[STATIC_CONFIG_DRIVER_NAME_LENGTH]; - void *platform_data; - } - - The instantiation of a driver by calling driver_bind() creates an instance - of the driver by allocating "struct driver_instance". Note that only struct - instance is passed to the driver. The wrapping struct driver_instance is there - for purposes of the driver core: - - struct driver_instance { - uint32_t flags; - struct instance i; - }; - - struct instance { - /* Pointer to a driver information passed by driver_register() */ - const struct driver_info *info; - /* Pointer to a bus this driver is bound with */ - struct instance *bus; - /* Pointer to this driver's own private data */ - void *private_data; - /* Pointer to the first block of successor nodes (optional) */ - struct successor_block *succ; - } - - The instantiation of a driver does not mean the hardware is initialized. The - driver_bind() call only creates the instance of the driver, fills in the "bus" - pointer and calls the drivers' .bind() function. The .bind() function of the - driver should hook the driver with the remaining cores and/or drivers it - depends on. - - It's important to note here, that in case the driver instance has multiple - parents, such parent can be connected with this instance by calling: - - driver_link(struct instance *parent, struct instance *dev); - - This will connect the other parent driver with the newly instantiated driver. - Note that this must be called after driver_bind() and before driver_acticate() - (driver_activate() will be explained below). To allow struct instance to have - multiple parent pointer, the struct instance *bus will utilize it's last bit - to indicate if this is a pointer to struct instance or to an array if - instances, struct successor block. The approach is similar as the approach to - *succ in struct instance, described in the following paragraph. - - The last pointer of the struct instance, the pointer to successor nodes, is - used only in case of a bus driver. Otherwise the pointer contains NULL value. - The last bit of this field indicates if this is a bus having a single child - node (so the last bit is 0) or if this bus has multiple child nodes (the last - bit is 1). In the former case, the driver core should clear the last bit and - this pointer points directly to the child node. In the later case of a bus - driver, the pointer points to an instance of structure: - - struct successor_block { - /* Array of pointers to instances of devices attached to this bus */ - struct instance *dev[BLOCKING_FACTOR]; - /* Pointer to next block of successors */ - struct successor_block *next; - } - - Some of the *dev[] array members might be NULL in case there are no more - devices attached. The *next is NULL in case the list of attached devices - doesn't continue anymore. The BLOCKING_FACTOR is used to allocate multiple - slots for successor devices at once to avoid fragmentation of memory. - - 3) The bind() function of a driver - ---------------------------------- - - The bind function of a driver connects the driver with various cores the - driver provides functions for. The driver model related part will look like - the following example for a bus driver: - - int driver_bind(struct instance *in) - { - ... - core_bind(&core_i2c_static_instance, in, i2c_bus_funcs); - ... - } - - FIXME: What if we need to run-time determine, depending on some hardware - register, what kind of i2c_bus_funcs to pass? - - This makes the i2c core aware of a new bus. The i2c_bus_funcs is a constant - structure of functions any i2c bus driver must provide to work. This will - allow the i2c command operate with the bus. The core_i2c_static_instance is - the pointer to the instance of a core this driver provides function to. - - FIXME: Maybe replace "core-i2c" with CORE_I2C global pointer to an instance of - the core? - - 4) The instantiation of a core driver - ------------------------------------- - - The core driver is special in the way that it's single-instance driver. It is - always present in the system, though it might not be activated. The fact that - it's single instance allows it to be instantiated at compile time. - - Therefore, all possible structures of this driver can be in read-only memory, - especially struct driver and struct driver_instance. But the successor list, - which needs special treatment. - - To solve the problem with a successor list and the core driver flags, a new - entry in struct gd (global data) will be introduced. This entry will point to - runtime allocated array of struct driver_instance. It will be possible to - allocate the exact amount of struct driver_instance necessary, as the number - of cores that might be activated will be known at compile time. The cores will - then behave like any usual driver. - - Pointers to the struct instance of cores can be computed at compile time, - therefore allowing the resulting u-boot binary to save some overhead. - - 5) The probe() function of a driver - ----------------------------------- - - The probe function of a driver allocates necessary resources and does required - initialization of the hardware itself. This is usually called only when the - driver is needed, as a part of the defered probe mechanism. - - The driver core should implement a function called - - int driver_activate(struct instance *in); - - which should call the .probe() function of the driver and then configure the - state of the driver instance to "ACTIVATED". This state of a driver instance - should be stored in a wrap-around structure for the structure instance, the - struct driver_instance. - - 6) The command side interface to a driver - ----------------------------------------- - - The U-Boot command shall communicate only with the specific driver core. The - driver core in turn exports necessary API towards the command. - - 7) Demonstration imaginary board - -------------------------------- - - Consider the following computer: - - * - | - +-- System power management logic - | - +-- CPU clock controlling logc - | - +-- NAND controller - | | - | +-- NAND flash chip - | - +-- 128MB of DDR DRAM - | - +-- I2C bus #0 - | | - | +-- RTC - | | - | +-- EEPROM #0 - | | - | +-- EEPROM #1 - | - +-- USB host-only IP core - | | - | +-- USB storage device - | - +-- USB OTG-capable IP core - | | - | +-- connection to the host PC - | - +-- GPIO - | | - | +-- User LED #0 - | | - | +-- User LED #1 - | - +-- UART0 - | - +-- UART1 - | - +-- Ethernet controller #0 - | - +-- Ethernet controller #1 - | - +-- Audio codec - | - +-- PCI bridge - | | - | +-- Ethernet controller #2 - | | - | +-- SPI host card - | | | - | | +-- Audio amplifier (must be operational before codec) - | | - | +-- GPIO host card - | | - | +-- User LED #2 - | - +-- LCD controller - | - +-- PWM controller (must be enabled after LCD controller) - | - +-- SPI host controller - | | - | +-- SD/MMC connected via SPI - | | - | +-- SPI flash - | - +-- CPLD/FPGA with stored configuration of the board diff --git a/doc/driver-model/UDM-fpga.txt b/doc/driver-model/UDM-fpga.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 4f9df94..0000000 --- a/doc/driver-model/UDM-fpga.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,115 +0,0 @@ -The U-Boot Driver Model Project -=============================== -I/O system analysis -=================== -Marek Vasut <marek.vasut@gmail.com> -2012-02-21 - -I) Overview ------------ - -The current FPGA implementation is handled by command "fpga".

The driver itself will - be realised by altera.c and all the sub-drivers will be linked in.

This - file implements the main communications logic and has to be linked in together - with "lattice.c". No problem converting is expected here. - - 3) Xilinx driver - ---------------- - The driver is realized using the following files: - - drivers/fpga/xilinx.c - drivers/fpga/spartan2.c - drivers/fpga/spartan3.c - drivers/fpga/virtex2.c - - This set of sub-drivers is special by defining a big set of macros in - "include/spartan3.h" and similar files.

This structure contains generic driver data, bus - interface operations and private data for the driver. - - Bus interface operations for PCI are (names are self-explanatory): - - read_byte() - read_word() - read_dword() - write_byte() - write_word() - write_dword() - - Each driver has to implement dword operations, and either implement word and - byte operations, or use shared $operation_config_$type_via_dword (eg. - read_config_byte_via_dword and similar) function. These functions are used - for config space I/O (read_config_dword and similar functions of the PCI - subsystem), which is used to configure the connected devices for standard MMIO - operations. All data transfers by respective device drivers are then done by - MMIO - - Each driver also defines a separate init function, which has unique symbol - name, and thus more drivers can be compiled in without colliding. This init - function is typically called from pci_init_board(), different for each - particular board. - - Some boards also define a function called fixup_irq, which gets called after - scanning the PCI bus for devices, and should dismiss any interrupts. - - Several drivers are also located in arch/ and should be moved to drivers/pci. - -II) Approach ------------- - - The pci_controller structure needs to be broken down to fit the new driver - model. Due to a large number of members, this will be done through three - distinct accessors, one for memory regions, one for config table and one for - everything else. That will make the pci_ops structure look like this: - - struct pci_ops { - int (*read_byte)(struct instance *bus, pci_dev_t *dev, int addr, - u8 *buf); - int (*read_word)(struct instance *bus, pci_dev_t *dev, int addr, - u16 *buf); - int (*read_dword)(struct instance *bus, pci_dev_t *dev, int addr, - u32 *buf); - int (*write_byte)(struct instance *bus, pci_dev_t *dev, int addr, - u8 val); - int (*write_byte)(struct instance *bus, pci_dev_t *dev, int addr, - u8 val); - int (*write_dword)(struct instance *bus, pci_dev_t *dev, int addr, - u32 val); - void (*fixup_irq)(struct instance *bus, pci_dev_t *dev); - struct pci_region* (*get_region)(struct instance *, uint num); - struct pci_config_table* (*get_cfg_table)(struct instance *bus); - uint (*get_option)(struct instance * bus, enum pci_option_code op); - } - - enum pci_option_code { - PCI_OPT_BUS_NUMBER=0, - PCI_OPT_REGION_COUNT, - PCI_OPT_INDIRECT_TYPE, - PCI_OPT_AUTO_MEM, - PCI_OPT_AUTO_IO, - PCI_OPT_AUTO_PREFETCH, - PCI_OPT_AUTO_FB, - PCI_OPT_CURRENT_BUS, - PCI_OPT_CFG_ADDR, - } - - The return value for get_option will be an unsigned integer value for any - option code. If the option currently is a pointer to pci_region, it will - return an index for get_region function. Special case has to be made for - PCI_OPT_CFG_ADDR, which should be interpreted as a pointer, but it is only - used for equality in find_hose_by_cfg_addr, and thus can be returned as an - uint. Other function using cfg_addr value are read/write functions for - specific drivers (especially ops for indirect bridges), and thus have access - to private_data of the driver instance. - - The config table accessor will return a pointer to a NULL-terminated array of - pci_config_table, which is supplied by the board in platform_data, or NULL if - the board didn't specify one. This table is used to override PnP - auto-initialization, or to specific initialization functions for non-PNP - devices. - - Transparent PCI-PCI bridges will get their own driver, and will forward all - operations to operations of their parent bus. This however makes it - impossible to use instances to identify devices, as not all devices will be - directly visible to the respective bus driver. - - Init functions of controller drivers will be moved to their respective - probe() functions, in accordance to the driver model. - - The PCI core will handle all mapping functions currently found in pci.c, as - well as proxy functions for read/write operations of the drivers. The PCI - core will also handle bus scanning and device configuration. - - The PnP helper functions currently in pci_auto.c will also be a part of PCI - core, but they will be exposed only to PCI controller drivers, not to other - device drivers. - - The PCI API for device drivers will remain largely unchanged, most drivers - will require no changes at all, and all modifications will be limited to - changing the pci_controlle into instance*. - -III) Analysis of in-tree drivers --------------------------------- - - A) drivers in drivers/pci/ - -------------------------- - - pci_indirect.c - -------------- - Shared driver for indirect PCI bridges, several CONFIG macros - will - require significant cleanup. - - pci_sh4.c - --------- - Shared init function for SH4 drivers, uses dword for read/write ops. - - pci_sh7751.c - ------------ - Standard driver, uses SH4 shared init. - - pci_sh7780.c - ------------ - Standard driver, uses SH4 shared init. - - tsi108_pci.c - ------------ - Standard driver, uses dword for read/write ops. - - fsl_pci_init.c - -------------- - Driver for PCI and PCI-e, uses indirect functions. - - pci_ftpci100.c - -------------- - Standard driver, uses indirect functions, has separate scan/setup - functions. - - B) driver in arch/ - ------------------ - - x86/lib/pci_type1.c - ------------------- - Standard driver, specifies all read/write functions separately. - - m68k/cpu/mcf5445x/pci.c - ----------------------- - Standard driver, specifies all read/write functions separately. - - m68k/cpu/mcf547x_8x/pci.c - ------------------------- - Standard driver, specifies all read/write functions separately. - - powerpc/cpu/mpc824x/pci.c - ------------------------- - Standard driver, uses indirect functions, does not setup HW. - - powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c - ------------------------- - Standard driver, uses indirect functions. - - powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/4xx_pci.c - ---------------------------- - Standard driver, uses indirect functions. - - powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/4xx_pcie.c - ----------------------------- - PCI-e driver, specifies all read/write functions separately. - - powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/pci.c - ------------------------- - Standard driver, uses indirect functions. - - powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/pcie.c - -------------------------- - PCI-e driver, specifies all read/write functions separately. - - powerpc/cpu/mpc5xxx/pci_mpc5200.c - --------------------------------- - Standard driver, uses dword for read/write ops. - - powerpc/cpu/mpc512x/pci.c - ------------------------- - Standard driver, uses indirect functions. - - powerpc/cpu/mpc85xx/pci.c - ------------------------- - Standard driver, uses indirect functions, has two busses. - - C) drivers in board/ - -------------------- - - eltec/elppc/pci.c - ----------------- - Standard driver, uses indirect functions. - - amirix/ap1000/pci.c - ------------------- - Standard driver, specifies all read/write functions separately. - - prodrive/p3mx/pci.c - ------------------- - Standard driver, uses dword for read/write ops, has two busses. - - esd/cpci750/pci.c - ----------------- - Standard driver, uses dword for read/write ops, has two busses. - - esd/common/pci.c - ---------------- - Standard driver, uses dword for read/write ops. - - dave/common/pci.c - ----------------- - Standard driver, uses dword for read/write ops. - - ppmc7xx/pci.c - ------------- - Standard driver, uses indirect functions. - - Marvell/db64360/pci.c - --------------------- - Standard driver, uses dword for read/write ops, has two busses. - - Marvell/db64460/pci.c - --------------------- - Standard driver, uses dword for read/write ops, has two busses. - - evb64260/pci.c - -------------- - Standard driver, uses dword for read/write ops, has two busses. - - armltd/integrator/pci.c - ----------------------- - Standard driver, specifies all read/write functions separately. - - All drivers will be moved to drivers/pci.

The serial drivers basically define both input and output functions - and need function to configure baudrate. The keyboard drivers provide only - input. On the other hand, video drivers provide output, but need to be - configured in certain way. This configuration might be dynamic, therefore the - STDIO has to be modified to provide such flexibility. - - 2) Unification of serial, video and keyboard drivers - ---------------------------------------------------- - - Every STDIO device would register a structure containing operation it supports - with the STDIO core by calling: - - int stdio_device_register(struct instance *i, struct stdio_device_ops *o); - - The structure being defined as follows: - - struct stdio_device_ops { - void (*putc)(struct instance *i, const char c); - void (*puts)(struct instance *i, const char *s); /* OPTIONAL */ - - int (*tstc)(struct instance *i); - int (*getc)(struct instance *i); - - int (*init)(struct instance *i); - int (*exit)(struct instance *i); - int (*conf)(struct instance *i, enum stdio_config c, const void *data); - }; - - The "putc()" function will emit a character, the "puts()" function will emit a - string. If both of these are set to NULL, the device is considered STDIN only, - aka input only device. - - The "getc()" retrieves a character from a STDIN device, while "tstc()" tests - if there is a character in the buffer of STDIN device. In case these two are - set to NULL, this device is STDOUT / STDERR device. - - Setting all "putc()", "puts()", "getc()" and "tstc()" calls to NULL isn't an - error condition, though such device does nothing. By instroducing tests for - these functions being NULL, the "flags" and "ext" fields from original struct - stdio_dev can be eliminated. - - The "init()" and "exit()" calls are replacement for "start()" and "exit()" - calls in the old approach. The "priv" part of the old struct stdio_dev will be - replaced by common private data in the driver model and the struct list_head - list will be eliminated by introducing common STDIO core, that tracks all the - STDIO devices. - - Lastly, the "conf()" call will allow the user to configure various options of - the driver. The enum stdio_config contains all possible configuration options - available to the STDIO devices, const void *data being the argument to be - configured. Currently, the enum stdio_config will contain at least the - following options: - - enum stdio_config { - STDIO_CONFIG_SERIAL_BAUDRATE, - }; - - 3) Transformation of stdio routing - ---------------------------------- - - By allowing multiple instances of drivers, the environment variables "stdin", - "stdout" and "stderr" can no longer be set to the name of the driver. - Therefore the STDIO core, tracking all of the STDIO devices in the system will - need to have a small amount of internal data for each device: - - struct stdio_device_node { - struct instance *i; - struct stdio_device_ops *ops; - uint8_t id; - uint8_t flags; - struct list_head list; - } - - The "id" is the order of the instance of the same driver. The "flags" variable - allows multiple drivers to be used at the same time and even for different - purpose. The following flags will be defined: - - STDIO_FLG_STDIN ..... This device will be used as an input device. All input - from all devices with this flag set will be received - and passed to the upper layers. - STDIO_FLG_STDOUT .... This device will be used as an output device. All - output sent to stdout will be routed to all devices - with this flag set. - STDIO_FLG_STDERR ....

The API and semantics is in most cases same as the above -mentioned common functions. - - -II) Approach ------------- - - 1) New API - ---------- - - In the UDM each watchdog driver would register itself by a function - - int watchdog_device_register(struct instance *i, - const struct watchdog_device_ops *o); - - The structure being defined as follows: - - struct watchdog_device_ops { - int (*disable)(struct instance *i); - void (*reset)(struct instance *i); - }; - - The watchdog_init() function will be dissolved into probe() function. - - 2) Conversion thougths - ---------------------- - - Conversion of watchdog implementations to a new API could be divided - to three subsections: a) HW implementations, which are mostly compliant - to the above mentioned API; b) SW implementations, which are compliant - to the above mentioned API and c) SW implementations that are not compliant - to the API and has to be rectified or partially rewritten. - -III) Analysis of in-tree drivers --------------------------------- - - drivers/watchdog/at91sam9_wdt.c - ------------------------------- - The driver is standard HW watchdog. Simple conversion is possible. - - - drivers/watchdog/ftwdt010_wdt.c - ------------------------------- - The driver is ad-hoc HW watchdog.
