+ACPI based device enumeration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ACPI 5 introduced a set of new resources (UartTSerialBus, I2cSerialBus,
+SpiSerialBus, GpioIo and GpioInt) which can be used in enumerating slave
+devices behind serial bus controllers.
+
+In addition we are starting to see peripherals integrated in the
+SoC/Chipset to appear only in ACPI namespace. These are typically devices
+that are accessed through memory-mapped registers.
+
+In order to support this and re-use the existing drivers as much as
+possible we decided to do following:
+
+ o Devices that have no bus connector resource are represented as
+ platform devices.
+
+ o Devices behind real busses where there is a connector resource
+ are represented as struct spi_device or struct i2c_device
+ (standard UARTs are not busses so there is no struct uart_device).
+
+As both ACPI and Device Tree represent a tree of devices (and their
+resources) this implementation follows the Device Tree way as much as
+possible.
+
+The ACPI implementation enumerates devices behind busses (platform, SPI and
+I2C), creates the physical devices and binds them to their ACPI handle in
+the ACPI namespace.
+
+This means that when ACPI_HANDLE(dev) returns non-NULL the device was
+enumerated from ACPI namespace. This handle can be used to extract other
+device-specific configuration. There is an example of this below.
+
+Platform bus support
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Since we are using platform devices to represent devices that are not
+connected to any physical bus we only need to implement a platform driver
+for the device and add supported ACPI IDs. If this same IP-block is used on
+some other non-ACPI platform, the driver might work out of the box or needs
+some minor changes.
+
+Adding ACPI support for an existing driver should be pretty
+straightforward. Here is the simplest example:
+
+ #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
+ static struct acpi_device_id mydrv_acpi_match[] = {
+ /* ACPI IDs here */
+ { }
+ };
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, mydrv_acpi_match);
+ #endif
+
+ static struct platform_driver my_driver = {
+ ...
+ .driver = {
+ .acpi_match_table = ACPI_PTR(mydrv_acpi_match),
+ },
+ };
+
+If the driver needs to perform more complex initialization like getting and
+configuring GPIOs it can get its ACPI handle and extract this information
+from ACPI tables.
+
+Currently the kernel is not able to automatically determine from which ACPI
+device it should make the corresponding platform device so we need to add
+the ACPI device explicitly to acpi_platform_device_ids list defined in
+drivers/acpi/scan.c. This limitation is only for the platform devices, SPI
+and I2C devices are created automatically as described below.
+
+SPI serial bus support
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Slave devices behind SPI bus have SpiSerialBus resource attached to them.
+This is extracted automatically by the SPI core and the slave devices are
+enumerated once spi_register_master() is called by the bus driver.
+
+Here is what the ACPI namespace for a SPI slave might look like:
+
+ Device (EEP0)
+ {
+ Name (_ADR, 1)
+ Name (_CID, Package() {
+ "ATML0025",
+ "AT25",
+ })
+ ...
+ Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)
+ {
+ SPISerialBus(1, PolarityLow, FourWireMode, 8,
+ ControllerInitiated, 1000000, ClockPolarityLow,
+ ClockPhaseFirst, "\\_SB.PCI0.SPI1",)
+ }
+ ...
+
+The SPI device drivers only need to add ACPI IDs in a similar way than with
+the platform device drivers. Below is an example where we add ACPI support
+to at25 SPI eeprom driver (this is meant for the above ACPI snippet):
+
+ #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
+ static struct acpi_device_id at25_acpi_match[] = {
+ { "AT25", 0 },
+ { },
+ };
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, at25_acpi_match);
+ #endif
+
+ static struct spi_driver at25_driver = {
+ .driver = {
+ ...
+ .acpi_match_table = ACPI_PTR(at25_acpi_match),
+ },
+ };
+
+Note that this driver actually needs more information like page size of the
+eeprom etc. but at the time writing this there is no standard way of
+passing those. One idea is to return this in _DSM method like:
+
+ Device (EEP0)
+ {
+ ...
+ Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
+ {
+ Store (Package (6)
+ {
+ "byte-len", 1024,
+ "addr-mode", 2,
+ "page-size, 32
+ }, Local0)
+
+ // Check UUIDs etc.
+
+ Return (Local0)
+ }
+
+Then the at25 SPI driver can get this configation by calling _DSM on its
+ACPI handle like:
+
+ struct acpi_buffer output = { ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, NULL };
+ struct acpi_object_list input;
+ acpi_status status;
+
+ /* Fill in the input buffer */
+
+ status = acpi_evaluate_object(ACPI_HANDLE(&spi->dev), "_DSM",
+ &input, &output);
+ if (ACPI_FAILURE(status))
+ /* Handle the error */
+
+ /* Extract the data here */
+
+ kfree(output.pointer);
+
+I2C serial bus support
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The slaves behind I2C bus controller only need to add the ACPI IDs like
+with the platform and SPI drivers. However the I2C bus controller driver
+needs to call acpi_i2c_register_devices() after it has added the adapter.
+
+An I2C bus (controller) driver does:
+
+ ...
+ ret = i2c_add_numbered_adapter(adapter);
+ if (ret)
+ /* handle error */
+
+ of_i2c_register_devices(adapter);
+ /* Enumerate the slave devices behind this bus via ACPI */
+ acpi_i2c_register_devices(adapter);
+
+Below is an example of how to add ACPI support to the existing mpu3050
+input driver:
+
+ #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
+ static struct acpi_device_id mpu3050_acpi_match[] = {
+ { "MPU3050", 0 },
+ { },
+ };
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, mpu3050_acpi_match);
+ #endif
+
+ static struct i2c_driver mpu3050_i2c_driver = {
+ .driver = {
+ .name = "mpu3050",
+ .owner = THIS_MODULE,
+ .pm = &mpu3050_pm,
+ .of_match_table = mpu3050_of_match,
+ .acpi_match_table ACPI_PTR(mpu3050_acpi_match),
+ },
+ .probe = mpu3050_probe,
+ .remove = __devexit_p(mpu3050_remove),
+ .id_table = mpu3050_ids,
+ };
+
+GPIO support
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ACPI 5 introduced two new resources to describe GPIO connections: GpioIo
+and GpioInt. These resources are used be used to pass GPIO numbers used by
+the device to the driver. For example:
+
+ Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)
+ {
+ Name (SBUF, ResourceTemplate()
+ {
+ GpioIo (Exclusive, PullDefault, 0x0000, 0x0000,
+ IoRestrictionOutputOnly, "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0",
+ 0x00, ResourceConsumer,,)
+ {
+ // Pin List
+ 0x0055
+ }
+ ...
+
+ Return (SBUF)
+ }
+ }
+
+These GPIO numbers are controller relative and path "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0"
+specifies the path to the controller. In order to use these GPIOs in Linux
+we need to translate them to the Linux GPIO numbers.
+
+The driver can do this by including <linux/acpi_gpio.h> and then calling
+acpi_get_gpio(path, gpio). This will return the Linux GPIO number or
+negative errno if there was no translation found.
+
+Other GpioIo parameters must be converted first by the driver to be
+suitable to the gpiolib before passing them.
+
+In case of GpioInt resource an additional call to gpio_to_irq() must be
+done before calling request_irq().

+------------------------------------------
+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 optional gpio feature.
+
+While the pin allocation is totally managed by the pin ctrl 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 and call 'pinctrl_request_gpio' in order to
+request the corresponding pin before any gpio usage.
+
+For this, the gpio controller can use a pinctrl phandle and pins to
+announce the pinrange to the pin ctrl subsystem. For example,
+

+ by this gpio controller.
+

+=== ST Microelectronics SPEAr SPI CS Driver ===
+
+SPEAr platform provides a provision to control chipselects of ARM PL022 Prime
+Cell spi controller through its system registers, which otherwise remains under
+PL022 control. If chipselect remain under PL022 control then they would be
+released as soon as transfer is over and TxFIFO becomes empty. This is not
+desired by some of the device protocols above spi which expect (multiple)
+transfers without releasing their chipselects.
+
+Chipselects can be controlled by software by turning them as GPIOs. SPEAr
+provides another interface through system registers through which software can
+directly control each PL022 chipselect. Hence, it is natural for SPEAr to export
+the control of this interface as gpio.
+
+Required properties:
+
+ * compatible: should be defined as "st,spear-spics-gpio"
+ * reg: mentioning address range of spics controller
+ * st-spics,peripcfg-reg: peripheral configuration register offset
+ * st-spics,sw-enable-bit: bit offset to enable sw control
+ * st-spics,cs-value-bit: bit offset to drive chipselect low or high
+ * st-spics,cs-enable-mask: chip select number bit mask
+ * st-spics,cs-enable-shift: chip select number program offset
+ * gpio-controller: Marks the device node as gpio controller
+ * #gpio-cells: should be 1 and will mention chip select number
+
+All the above bit offsets are within peripcfg register.

+* Atmel AT91 Pinmux Controller
+
+The AT91 Pinmux Controler, enables the IC
+to share one PAD to several functional blocks. The sharing is done by
+multiplexing the PAD input/output signals. For each PAD there are up to
+8 muxing options (called periph modes). Since different modules require
+different PAD settings (like pull up, keeper, etc) the contoller controls
+also the PAD settings parameters.
+
+Please refer to pinctrl-bindings.txt in this directory for details of the
+common pinctrl bindings used by client devices, including the meaning of the
+phrase "pin configuration node".
+
+Atmel AT91 pin configuration node is a node of a group of pins which can be
+used for a specific device or function. This node represents both mux and config
+of the pins in that group. The 'pins' selects the function mode(also named pin
+mode) this pin can work on and the 'config' configures various pad settings
+such as pull-up, multi drive, etc.
+
+Required properties for iomux controller:
+- compatible: "atmel,at91rm9200-pinctrl"
+- atmel,mux-mask: array of mask (periph per bank) to describe if a pin can be
+ configured in this periph mode. All the periph and bank need to be describe.
+
+How to create such array:
+
+Each column will represent the possible peripheral of the pinctrl
+Each line will represent a pio bank
+
+Take an example on the 9260
+Peripheral: 2 ( A and B)
+Bank: 3 (A, B and C)

+ /* A B */
+ 0xffffffff 0xffc00c3b /* pioA */
+ 0xffffffff 0x7fff3ccf /* pioB */
+ 0xffffffff 0x007fffff /* pioC */
+
+For each peripheral/bank we will descibe in a u32 if a pin can can be
+configured in it by putting 1 to the pin bit (1 << pin)
+
+Let's take the pioA on peripheral B
+From the datasheet Table 10-2.

+Required properties for pin configuration node:
+- atmel,pins: 4 integers array, represents a group of pins mux and config
+ setting. The format is atmel,pins = <PIN_BANK PIN_BANK_NUM PERIPH CONFIG>.
+ The PERIPH 0 means gpio.
+
+Bits used for CONFIG:
+PULL_UP (1 << 0): indicate this pin need a pull up.
+MULTIDRIVE (1 << 1): indicate this pin need to be configured as multidrive.
+DEGLITCH (1 << 2): indicate this pin need deglitch.
+PULL_DOWN (1 << 3): indicate this pin need a pull down.
+DIS_SCHMIT (1 << 4): indicate this pin need to disable schmit trigger.
+DEBOUNCE (1 << 16): indicate this pin need debounce.
+DEBOUNCE_VAL (0x3fff << 17): debounce val.
+
+NOTE:
+Some requirements for using atmel,at91rm9200-pinctrl binding:
+1. We have pin function node defined under at91 controller node to represent
+ what pinmux functions this SoC supports.
+2. The driver can use the function node's name and pin configuration node's
+ name describe the pin function and group hierarchy.
+ For example, Linux at91 pinctrl driver takes the function node's name
+ as the function name and pin configuration node's name as group name to
+ create the map table.
+3. Each pin configuration node should have a phandle, devices can set pins
+ configurations by referring to the phandle of that pin configuration node.
+4. The gpio controller must be describe in the pinctrl simple-bus.
+
+Examples:
+
+pinctrl@fffff400 {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;

+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_request_gpio()
+pinctrl_free_gpio()
+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/pinctrl.txt
+
+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_request_gpio' 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.

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The DA9055 provides an Analogue to Digital Converter (ADC) with 10 bits
+resolution and track and hold circuitry combined with an analogue input
+multiplexer. The analogue input multiplexer will allow conversion of up to 5
+different inputs. The track and hold circuit ensures stable input voltages at
+the input of the ADC during the conversion.
+
+The ADC is used to measure the following inputs:
+Channel 0: VDDOUT - measurement of the system voltage
+Channel 1: ADC_IN1 - high impedance input (0 - 2.5V)
+Channel 2: ADC_IN2 - high impedance input (0 - 2.5V)
+Channel 3: ADC_IN3 - high impedance input (0 - 2.5V)
+Channel 4: Internal Tjunc. - sense (internal temp. sensor)
+
+By using sysfs attributes we can measure the system voltage VDDOUT,
+chip junction temperature and auxiliary channels voltages.
+
+Voltage Monitoring
+------------------
+
+Voltages are sampled in a AUTO mode it can be manually sampled too and results
+are stored in a 10 bit ADC.
+
+The system voltage is calculated as:
+ Milli volt = ((ADC value * 1000) / 85) + 2500
+
+The voltages on ADC channels 1, 2 and 3 are calculated as:
+ Milli volt = (ADC value * 1000) / 102
+
+Temperature Monitoring
+----------------------
+
+Temperatures are sampled by a 10 bit ADC. Junction temperatures
+are monitored by the ADC channels.
+
+The junction temperature is calculated:
+ Degrees celsius = -0.4084 * (ADC_RES - T_OFFSET) + 307.6332
+The junction temperature attribute is supported by the driver.

-Linux Quicknet-Drivers-Howto
-Quicknet Technologies, Inc. (www.quicknet.net)
-Version 0.3.4 December 18, 1999
-
-1.0 Introduction
-
-This document describes the first GPL release version of the Linux
-driver for the Quicknet Internet PhoneJACK and Internet LineJACK
-cards. More information about these cards is available at
-www.quicknet.net. The driver version discussed in this document is
-0.3.4.
-
-These cards offer nice telco style interfaces to use your standard
-telephone/key system/PBX as the user interface for VoIP applications.
-The Internet LineJACK also offers PSTN connectivity for a single line
-Internet to PSTN gateway. Of course, you can add more than one card
-to a system to obtain multi-line functionality. At this time, the
-driver supports the POTS port on both the Internet PhoneJACK and the
-Internet LineJACK, but the PSTN port on the latter card is not yet
-supported.
-
-This document, and the drivers for the cards, are intended for a
-limited audience that includes technically capable programmers who
-would like to experiment with Quicknet cards. The drivers are
-considered in ALPHA status and are not yet considered stable enough
-for general, widespread use in an unlimited audience.
-
-That's worth saying again:
-
-THE LINUX DRIVERS FOR QUICKNET CARDS ARE PRESENTLY IN A ALPHA STATE
-AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS READY FOR NORMAL WIDESPREAD USE.
-
-They are released early in the spirit of Internet development and to
-make this technology available to innovators who would benefit from
-early exposure.
-
-When we promote the device driver to "beta" level it will be
-considered ready for non-programmer, non-technical users. Until then,
-please be aware that these drivers may not be stable and may affect
-the performance of your system.
-
-
-1.1 Latest Additions/Improvements
-
-The 0.3.4 version of the driver is the first GPL release. Several
-features had to be removed from the prior binary only module, mostly
-for reasons of Intellectual Property rights. We can't release
-information that is not ours - so certain aspects of the driver had to
-be removed to protect the rights of others.
-
-Specifically, very old Internet PhoneJACK cards have non-standard
-G.723.1 codecs (due to the early nature of the DSPs in those days).
-The auto-conversion code to bring those cards into compliance with
-today's standards is available as a binary only module to those people
-needing it. If you bought your card after 1997 or so, you are OK -
-it's only the very old cards that are affected.
-
-Also, the code to download G.728/G.729/G.729a codecs to the DSP is
-available as a binary only module as well. This IP is not ours to
-release.
-
-Hooks are built into the GPL driver to allow it to work with other
-companion modules that are completely separate from this module.

-
-2.0 Requirements
-
-2.1 Quicknet Card(s)
-
-You will need at least one Internet PhoneJACK or Internet LineJACK
-cards. These are ISA or PCI bus devices that use Plug-n-Play for
-configuration, and use no IRQs. The driver will support up to 16
-cards in any one system, of any mix between the two types.
-
-Note that you will need two cards to do any useful testing alone, since
-you will need a card on both ends of the connection. Of course, if
-you are doing collaborative work, perhaps your friends or coworkers
-have cards too. If not, we'll gladly sell them some!
-
-
-2.2 ISAPNP
-
-Since the Quicknet cards are Plug-n-Play devices, you will need the
-isapnp tools package to configure the cards, or you can use the isapnp
-module to autoconfigure them. The former package probably came with
-your Linux distribution. Documentation on this package is available
-online at:
-
-http://mailer.wiwi.uni-marburg.de/linux/LDP/HOWTO/Plug-and-Play-HOWTO.html
-
-The isapnp autoconfiguration is available on the Quicknet website at:
-
- http://www.quicknet.net/develop.htm
-
-though it may be in the kernel by the time you read this.
-
-
-3.0 Card Configuration
-
-If you did not get your drivers as part of the linux kernel, do the
-following to install them:
-
- a. untar the distribution file. We use the following command:
- tar -xvzf ixj-0.x.x.tgz
-
-This creates a subdirectory holding all the necessary files. Go to that
-subdirectory.
-
- b. run the "ixj_dev_create" script to remove any stray device
-files left in the /dev directory, and to create the new officially
-designated device files. Note that the old devices were called
-/dev/ixj, and the new method uses /dev/phone.
-
- c. type "make;make install" - this will compile and install the
-module.
-
- d. type "depmod -av" to rebuild all your kernel version dependencies.
-
- e. if you are using the isapnp module to configure the cards
- automatically, then skip to step f. Otherwise, ensure that you
- have run the isapnp configuration utility to properly configure
- the cards.
-
- e1. The Internet PhoneJACK has one configuration register that
- requires 16 IO ports. The Internet LineJACK card has two
- configuration registers and isapnp reports that IO 0
- requires 16 IO ports and IO 1 requires 8. The Quicknet
- driver assumes that these registers are configured to be
- contiguous, i.e. if IO 0 is set to 0x340 then IO 1 should
- be set to 0x350.
-
- Make sure that none of the cards overlap if you have
- multiple cards in the system.
-
- If you are new to the isapnp tools, you can jumpstart
- yourself by doing the following:
-
- e2. go to the /etc directory and run pnpdump to get a blank
- isapnp.conf file.
-
- pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf
-
- e3. edit the /etc/isapnp.conf file to set the IO warnings and
- the register IO addresses. The IO warnings means that you
- should find the line in the file that looks like this:
-
- (CONFLICT (IO FATAL)(IRQ FATAL)(DMA FATAL)(MEM FATAL)) # or WARNING
-
- and you should edit the line to look like this:
-
- (CONFLICT (IO WARNING)(IRQ FATAL)(DMA FATAL)(MEM FATAL)) #
- or WARNING
-
- The next step is to set the IO port addresses. The issue
- here is that isapnp does not identify all of the ports out
- there. Specifically any device that does not have a driver
- or module loaded by Linux will not be registered. This
- includes older sound cards and network cards. We have
- found that the IO port 0x300 is often used even though
- isapnp claims that no-one is using those ports. We
- recommend that for a single card installation that port
- 0x340 (and 0x350) be used. The IO port line should change
- from this:
-
- (IO 0 (SIZE 16) (BASE 0x0300) (CHECK))
-
- to this:
-
- (IO 0 (SIZE 16) (BASE 0x0340) )
-
- e4. if you have multiple Quicknet cards, make sure that you do
- not have any overlaps. Be especially careful if you are
- mixing Internet PhoneJACK and Internet LineJACK cards in
- the same system. In these cases we recommend moving the
- IO port addresses to the 0x400 block. Please note that on
- a few machines the 0x400 series are used. Feel free to
- experiment with other addresses. Our cards have been
- proven to work using IO addresses of up to 0xFF0.
-
- e5. the last step is to uncomment the activation line so the
- drivers will be associated with the port. This means the
- line (immediately below) the IO line should go from this:
-
- # (ACT Y)
-
- to this:
-
- (ACT Y)
-
- Once you have finished editing the isapnp.conf file you
- must submit it into the pnp driverconfigure the cards.
- This is done using the following command:
-
- isapnp isapnp.conf
-
- If this works you should see a line that identifies the
- Quicknet device, the IO port(s) chosen, and a message
- "Enabled OK".
-
- f. if you are loading the module by hand, use insmod. An example
-of this would look like this:
-
- insmod phonedev
- insmod ixj dspio=0x320,0x310 xio=0,0x330
-
-Then verify the module loaded by running lsmod. If you are not using a
-module that matches your kernel version, you may need to "force" the
-load using the -f option in the insmod command.
-
- insmod phonedev
- insmod -f ixj dspio=0x320,0x310 xio=0,0x330
-
-
-If you are using isapnp to autoconfigure your card, then you do NOT
-need any of the above, though you need to use depmod to load the
-driver, like this:
-
- depmod ixj
-
-which will result in the needed drivers getting loaded automatically.
-
- g. if you are planning on having the kernel automatically request
-the module for you, then you need to edit /etc/conf.modules and add the
-following lines:
-
- options ixj dspio=0x340 xio=0x330 ixjdebug=0
-
-If you do this, then when you execute an application that uses the
-module the kernel will request that it is loaded.
-
- h. if you want non-root users to be able to read and write to the
-ixj devices (this is a good idea!) you should do the following:
-
- - decide upon a group name to use and create that group if
- needed. Add the user names to that group that you wish to
- have access to the device. For example, we typically will
- create a group named "ixj" in /etc/group and add all users
- to that group that we want to run software that can use the
- ixjX devices.
-
- - change the permissions on the device files, like this:
-
- chgrp ixj /dev/ixj*
- chmod 660 /dev/ixj*
-
-Once this is done, then non-root users should be able to use the
-devices. If you have enabled autoloading of modules, then the user
-should be able to open the device and have the module loaded
-automatically for them.
-
-
-4.0 Driver Installation problems.
-
-We have tested these drivers on the 2.2.9, 2.2.10, 2.2.12, and 2.2.13 kernels
-and in all cases have eventually been able to get the drivers to load and
-run. We have found four types of problems that prevent this from happening.
-The problems and solutions are:
-
- a. A step was missed in the installation. Go back and use section 3
-as a checklist. Many people miss running the ixj_dev_create script and thus
-never load the device names into the filesystem.
-
- b. The kernel is inconsistently linked. We have found this problem in
-the Out Of the Box installation of several distributions. The symptoms
-are that neither driver will load, and that the unknown symbols include "jiffy"
-and "kmalloc". The solution is to recompile both the kernel and the
-modules. The command string for the final compile looks like this:
-
- In the kernel directory:
- 1. cp .config /tmp
- 2. make mrproper
- 3. cp /tmp/.config .
- 4. make clean;make bzImage;make modules;make modules_install
-
-This rebuilds both the kernel and all the modules and makes sure they all
-have the same linkages. This generally solves the problem once the new
-kernel is installed and the system rebooted.
-
- c. The kernel has been patched, then unpatched. This happens when
-someone decides to use an earlier kernel after they load a later kernel.
-The symptoms are proceeding through all three above steps and still not
-being able to load the driver. What has happened is that the generated
-header files are out of sync with the kernel itself. The solution is
-to recompile (again) using "make mrproper". This will remove and then
-regenerate all the necessary header files. Once this is done, then you
-need to install and reboot the kernel. We have not seen any problem
-loading one of our drivers after this treatment.
-
-5.0 Known Limitations
-
-We cannot currently play "dial-tone" and listen for DTMF digits at the
-same time using the ISA PhoneJACK. This is a bug in the 8020 DSP chip
-used on that product. All other Quicknet products function normally
-in this regard. We have a work-around, but it's not done yet. Until
-then, if you want dial-tone, you can always play a recorded dial-tone
-sound into the audio until you have gathered the DTMF digits.

+内核提供的用户空间辅助代码
+=========================
+
+在内核内存空间的固定地址处,有一个由内核提供并可从用户空间访问的代码
+段。它用于向用户空间提供因在许多 ARM CPU 中未实现的特性和/或指令而需
+内核提供帮助的某些操作。这些代码直接在用户模式下执行的想法是为了获得
+最佳效率,但那些与内核计数器联系过于紧密的部分,则被留给了用户库实现。
+事实上,此代码甚至可能因不同的 CPU 而异,这取决于其可用的指令集或它
+是否为 SMP 系统。换句话说,内核保留在不作出警告的情况下根据需要更改
+这些代码的权利。只有本文档描述的入口及其结果是保证稳定的。
+
+这与完全成熟的 VDSO 实现不同(但两者并不冲突),尽管如此,VDSO 可阻止
+某些通过常量高效跳转到那些代码段的汇编技巧。且由于那些代码段在返回用户
+代码前仅使用少量的代码周期,则一个 VDSO 间接远程调用将会在这些简单的
+操作上增加一个可测量的开销。
+
+在对那些拥有原生支持的新型处理器进行代码优化时,仅在已为其他操作使用
+了类似的新增指令,而导致二进制结果已与早期 ARM 处理器不兼容的情况下,
+用户空间才应绕过这些辅助代码,并在内联函数中实现这些操作(无论是通过
+编译器在代码中直接放置,还是作为库函数调用实现的一部分)。也就是说,
+如果你编译的代码不会为了其他目的使用新指令,则不要仅为了避免使用这些
+内核辅助代码,导致二进制程序无法在早期处理器上运行。
+
+新的辅助代码可能随着时间的推移而增加,所以新内核中的某些辅助代码在旧
+内核中可能不存在。因此,程序必须在对任何辅助代码调用假设是安全之前,
+检测 __kuser_helper_version 的值(见下文)。理想情况下,这种检测应该
+只在进程启动时执行一次;如果内核版本不支持所需辅助代码,则该进程可尽早
+中止执行。
+
+kuser_helper_version
+--------------------
+
+位置: 0xffff0ffc
+
+参考声明:
+
+ extern int32_t __kuser_helper_version;
+
+定义:
+
+ 这个区域包含了当前运行内核实现的辅助代码版本号。用户空间可以通过读
+ 取此版本号以确定特定的辅助代码是否存在。
+
+使用范例:
+
+#define __kuser_helper_version (*(int32_t *)0xffff0ffc)
+
+void check_kuser_version(void)
+{
+ if (__kuser_helper_version < 2) {
+ fprintf(stderr, "can't do atomic operations, kernel too old\n");
+ abort();
+ }
+}
+
+注意:
+
+ 用户空间可以假设这个域的值不会在任何单个进程的生存期内改变。也就
+ 是说,这个域可以仅在库的初始化阶段或进程启动阶段读取一次。
+
+kuser_get_tls
+-------------
+
+位置: 0xffff0fe0
+
+参考原型:
+
+ void * __kuser_get_tls(void);
+
+输入:
+
+ lr = 返回地址
+
+输出:
+
+ r0 = TLS 值
+
+被篡改的寄存器:
+
+ 无
+
+定义:
+
+ 获取之前通过 __ARM_NR_set_tls 系统调用设置的 TLS 值。
+
+使用范例:
+
+typedef void * (__kuser_get_tls_t)(void);
+#define __kuser_get_tls (*(__kuser_get_tls_t *)0xffff0fe0)
+
+void foo()
+{
+ void *tls = __kuser_get_tls();
+ printf("TLS = %p\n", tls);
+}
+
+注意:
+
+ - 仅在 __kuser_helper_version >= 1 时,此辅助代码存在
+ (从内核版本 2.6.12 开始)。
+
+kuser_cmpxchg
+-------------
+
+位置: 0xffff0fc0
+
+参考原型:
+
+ int __kuser_cmpxchg(int32_t oldval, int32_t newval, volatile int32_t *ptr);
+
+输入:
+
+ r0 = oldval
+ r1 = newval
+ r2 = ptr
+ lr = 返回地址
+
+输出:
+
+ r0 = 成功代码 (零或非零)
+ C flag = 如果 r0 == 0 则置 1,如果 r0 != 0 则清零。
+
+被篡改的寄存器:
+
+ r3, ip, flags
+
+定义:
+
+ 仅在 *ptr 为 oldval 时原子保存 newval 于 *ptr 中。
+ 如果 *ptr 被改变,则返回值为零,否则为非零值。
+ 如果 *ptr 被改变,则 C flag 也会被置 1,以实现调用代码中的汇编
+ 优化。
+
+使用范例:
+
+typedef int (__kuser_cmpxchg_t)(int oldval, int newval, volatile int *ptr);
+#define __kuser_cmpxchg (*(__kuser_cmpxchg_t *)0xffff0fc0)
+
+int atomic_add(volatile int *ptr, int val)
+{
+ int old, new;
+
+ do {
+ old = *ptr;
+ new = old + val;
+ } while(__kuser_cmpxchg(old, new, ptr));
+
+ return new;
+}
+
+注意:
+
+ - 这个例程已根据需要包含了内存屏障。
+
+ - 仅在 __kuser_helper_version >= 2 时,此辅助代码存在
+ (从内核版本 2.6.12 开始)。
+
+kuser_memory_barrier
+--------------------
+
+位置: 0xffff0fa0
+
+参考原型:
+
+ void __kuser_memory_barrier(void);
+
+输入:
+
+ lr = 返回地址
+
+输出:
+
+ 无
+
+被篡改的寄存器:
+
+ 无
+
+定义:
+
+ 应用于任何需要内存屏障以防止手动数据修改带来的一致性问题,以及
+ __kuser_cmpxchg 中。
+
+使用范例:
+
+typedef void (__kuser_dmb_t)(void);
+#define __kuser_dmb (*(__kuser_dmb_t *)0xffff0fa0)
+
+注意:
+
+ - 仅在 __kuser_helper_version >= 3 时,此辅助代码存在
+ (从内核版本 2.6.15 开始)。
+
+kuser_cmpxchg64
+---------------
+
+位置: 0xffff0f60
+
+参考原型:
+
+ int __kuser_cmpxchg64(const int64_t *oldval,
+ const int64_t *newval,
+ volatile int64_t *ptr);
+
+输入:
+
+ r0 = 指向 oldval
+ r1 = 指向 newval
+ r2 = 指向目标值
+ lr = 返回地址
+
+输出:
+
+ r0 = 成功代码 (零或非零)
+ C flag = 如果 r0 == 0 则置 1,如果 r0 != 0 则清零。
+
+被篡改的寄存器:
+
+ r3, lr, flags
+
+定义:
+
+ 仅在 *ptr 等于 *oldval 指向的 64 位值时,原子保存 *newval
+ 指向的 64 位值于 *ptr 中。如果 *ptr 被改变,则返回值为零,
+ 否则为非零值。
+
+ 如果 *ptr 被改变,则 C flag 也会被置 1,以实现调用代码中的汇编
+ 优化。
+
+使用范例:
+
+typedef int (__kuser_cmpxchg64_t)(const int64_t *oldval,
+ const int64_t *newval,
+ volatile int64_t *ptr);
+#define __kuser_cmpxchg64 (*(__kuser_cmpxchg64_t *)0xffff0f60)
+
+int64_t atomic_add64(volatile int64_t *ptr, int64_t val)
+{
+ int64_t old, new;
+
+ do {
+ old = *ptr;
+ new = old + val;
+ } while(__kuser_cmpxchg64(&old, &new, ptr));
+
+ return new;
+}
+
+注意:
+
+ - 这个例程已根据需要包含了内存屏障。
+
+ - 由于这个过程的代码长度(此辅助代码跨越 2 个常规的 kuser “槽”),
+ 因此 0xffff0f80 不被作为有效的入口点。
+
+ - 仅在 __kuser_helper_version >= 5 时,此辅助代码存在
+ (从内核版本 3.1 开始)。
