From f9aa6a1086f6b7da1814a2c95feefa91c9c4b593 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Glass Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 15:59:27 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] dm: Remove old driver model documentation This documentation pertains to the planned implementation of driver model in U-Boot for each subsystem, but it has not been superseded. It is probably better to have this documentation in the source code for each subsystem where possible, so that docbook will pick it up. Where this does not make sense, new documentation can be placed in some suitable file in doc/driver-model.

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 60323335b8..0000000000 --- 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 - -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 9f03bbaad3..0000000000 --- a/doc/driver-model/UDM-design.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,315 +0,0 @@ -The U-Boot Driver Model Project -=============================== -Design document -=============== -Marek Vasut -Pavel Herrmann -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 4f9df940ed..0000000000 --- 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 -2012-02-21 - -I) Overview ------------ - -The current FPGA implementation is handled by command "fpga".

Multiple things will need to be -modified though. - -First is the registration of the new FPGA device towards the FPGA core. This -will be achieved by calling: - - fpga_device_register(struct instance *i, const struct fpga_ops *ops); - -The particularly interesting part is the struct fpga_ops, which contains -operations supported by the FPGA device.

Finally, structures passed from the board -and/or platform files, like "Xilinx_Virtex2_Slave_SelectMap_fns" would be passed -via platform_data to the driver. - -III) Analysis of in-tree drivers --------------------------------- - - 1) Altera driver - ---------------- - The driver is realized using the following files: - - drivers/fpga/altera.c - drivers/fpga/ACEX1K.c - drivers/fpga/cyclon2.c - drivers/fpga/stratixII.c - - All of the sub-drivers implement basically the same info-load-dump interface - and there's no expected problem during the conversion. The driver itself will - be realised by altera.c and all the sub-drivers will be linked in. The - distinction will be done by passing different platform data. - - 2) Lattice driver - ----------------- - The driver is realized using the following files: - - drivers/fpga/lattice.c - drivers/fpga/ivm_core.c - - This driver also implements the standard interface, but to realise the - operations with the FPGA device, uses functions from "ivm_core.c" file. 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.

That's mean all calls of method spi_claim_bus() will - fail. But lots of cpu implementation don't meet this behaviour. - Method spi_release_bus() does exact opposite. It release bus directly by - some hardware sets. spi_free_slave() only free memory allocated by - spi_setup_slave().

But in real this can be achieved only when all buses have their - own base addresses in memory. - - -II) Approach ------------- - - 1) Claiming bus - --------------- - - The current api cannot be used because struct spi_slave have to be in - private data.

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 ....
