2017-01-18rpmsg: Driver for user space endpoint interfaceBjorn Andersson1-0/+1
This driver allows rpmsg instances to expose access to rpmsg endpoints to user space processes. It provides a control interface, allowing userspace to export endpoints and an endpoint interface for each exposed endpoint. The implementation is based on prior art by Texas Instrument, Google, PetaLogix and was derived from a FreeRTOS performance statistics driver written by Michal Simek. The control interface provides a "create endpoint" ioctl, which is fed a name, source and destination address. The three values are used to create the endpoint, in a backend-specific way, and a rpmsg endpoint device is created - with the three parameters are available in sysfs for udev usage. E.g. to create an endpoint device for one of the Qualcomm SMD channel related to DIAG one would issue: struct rpmsg_endpoint_info info = { "DIAG_CNTL", 0, 0 }; int fd = open("/dev/rpmsg_ctrl0", O_RDWR); ioctl(fd, RPMSG_CREATE_EPT_IOCTL, &info); Each created endpoint device shows up as an individual character device in /dev, allowing permission to be controlled on a per-endpoint basis. The rpmsg endpoint will be created and destroyed following the opening and closing of the endpoint device, allowing rpmsg backends to open and close the physical channel, if supported by the wire protocol.

2016-09-09rpmsg: Introduce Qualcomm SMD backendBjorn Andersson1-0/+1
This introduces a new rpmsg backend for the Qualcomm SMD system, allowing communication with various remote processors found in Qualcomm platforms. The implementation is based on, and intends to replace, drivers/soc/qcom/smd.c with the necessary adaptions for fitting with the rpmsg core.

2016-09-09rpmsg: Move rpmsg_device API to new fileBjorn Andersson1-1/+2
Extract the now indirect rpmsg_create_ept() interface to a separate file and start building up a rpmsg core. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Andersson <bjorn.andersson@linaro.org>
2012-02-09rpmsg: add virtio-based remote processor messaging busOhad Ben-Cohen1-0/+1
Add a virtio-based inter-processor communication bus, which enables kernel drivers to communicate with entities, running on remote processors, over shared memory using a simple messaging protocol. Every pair of AMP processors share two vrings, which are used to send and receive the messages over shared memory. The header of every message sent on the rpmsg bus contains src and dst addresses, which make it possible to multiplex several rpmsg channels on the same vring. Every rpmsg channel is a device on this bus. When a channel is added, and an appropriate rpmsg driver is found and probed, it is also assigned a local rpmsg address, which is then bound to the driver's callback. When inbound messages carry the local address of a bound driver, its callback is invoked by the bus. This patch provides a kernel interface only; user space interfaces will be later exposed by kernel users of this rpmsg bus. Designed with Brian Swetland <swetland@google.com>.
