It also has a +standardized database for field-replaceable units (FRUs) and a watchdog +timer. + +To use this, you need an interface to an IPMI controller in your +system (called a Baseboard Management Controller, or BMC) and +management software that can use the IPMI system. + +This document describes how to use the IPMI driver for Linux. If you +are not familiar with IPMI itself, see the web site at +http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/index.htm. IPMI is a big +subject and I can't cover it all here! + +Configuration +------------- + +The Linux IPMI driver is modular, which means you have to pick several +things to have it work right depending on your hardware. Most of +these are available in the 'Character Devices' menu then the IPMI +menu. + +No matter what, you must pick 'IPMI top-level message handler' to use +IPMI. What you do beyond that depends on your needs and hardware. + +The message handler does not provide any user-level interfaces. +Kernel code (like the watchdog) can still use it. If you need access +from userland, you need to select 'Device interface for IPMI' if you +want access through a device driver. + +The driver interface depends on your hardware. If your system +properly provides the SMBIOS info for IPMI, the driver will detect it +and just work. If you have a board with a standard interface (These +will generally be either "KCS", "SMIC", or "BT", consult your hardware +manual), choose the 'IPMI SI handler' option. A driver also exists +for direct I2C access to the IPMI management controller. Some boards +support this, but it is unknown if it will work on every board. For +this, choose 'IPMI SMBus handler', but be ready to try to do some +figuring to see if it will work on your system if the SMBIOS/APCI +information is wrong or not present. It is fairly safe to have both +these enabled and let the drivers auto-detect what is present. + +You should generally enable ACPI on your system, as systems with IPMI +can have ACPI tables describing them. + +If you have a standard interface and the board manufacturer has done +their job correctly, the IPMI controller should be automatically +detected (via ACPI or SMBIOS tables) and should just work. Sadly, +many boards do not have this information. The driver attempts +standard defaults, but they may not work. If you fall into this +situation, you need to read the section below named 'The SI Driver' or +"The SMBus Driver" on how to hand-configure your system. + +IPMI defines a standard watchdog timer. You can enable this with the +'IPMI Watchdog Timer' config option. If you compile the driver into +the kernel, then via a kernel command-line option you can have the +watchdog timer start as soon as it initializes. It also have a lot +of other options, see the 'Watchdog' section below for more details. +Note that you can also have the watchdog continue to run if it is +closed (by default it is disabled on close). Go into the 'Watchdog +Cards' menu, enable 'Watchdog Timer Support', and enable the option +'Disable watchdog shutdown on close'. + +IPMI systems can often be powered off using IPMI commands. Select +'IPMI Poweroff' to do this. The driver will auto-detect if the system +can be powered off by IPMI. It is safe to enable this even if your +system doesn't support this option. This works on ATCA systems, the +Radisys CPI1 card, and any IPMI system that supports standard chassis +management commands. + +If you want the driver to put an event into the event log on a panic, +enable the 'Generate a panic event to all BMCs on a panic' option. If +you want the whole panic string put into the event log using OEM +events, enable the 'Generate OEM events containing the panic string' +option. You can also enable these dynamically by setting the module +parameter named "panic_op" in the ipmi_msghandler module to "event" +or "string". Setting that parameter to "none" disables this function. + +Basic Design +------------ + +The Linux IPMI driver is designed to be very modular and flexible, you +only need to take the pieces you need and you can use it in many +different ways. Because of that, it's broken into many chunks of +code. These chunks (by module name) are: + +ipmi_msghandler - This is the central piece of software for the IPMI +system. It handles all messages, message timing, and responses. The +IPMI users tie into this, and the IPMI physical interfaces (called +System Management Interfaces, or SMIs) also tie in here. This +provides the kernelland interface for IPMI, but does not provide an +interface for use by application processes. + +ipmi_devintf - This provides a userland IOCTL interface for the IPMI +driver, each open file for this device ties in to the message handler +as an IPMI user. + +ipmi_si - A driver for various system interfaces. This supports KCS, +SMIC, and BT interfaces. Unless you have an SMBus interface or your +own custom interface, you probably need to use this. + +ipmi_ssif - A driver for accessing BMCs on the SMBus. It uses the +I2C kernel driver's SMBus interfaces to send and receive IPMI messages +over the SMBus. + +ipmi_powernv - A driver for access BMCs on POWERNV systems. + +ipmi_watchdog - IPMI requires systems to have a very capable watchdog +timer. This driver implements the standard Linux watchdog timer +interface on top of the IPMI message handler. + +ipmi_poweroff - Some systems support the ability to be turned off via +IPMI commands. + +bt-bmc - This is not part of the main driver, but instead a driver for +accessing a BMC-side interface of a BT interface. It is used on BMCs +running Linux to provide an interface to the host. + +These are all individually selectable via configuration options. + +Much documentation for the interface is in the include files. The +IPMI include files are: + +linux/ipmi.h - Contains the user interface and IOCTL interface for IPMI. + +linux/ipmi_smi.h - Contains the interface for system management interfaces +(things that interface to IPMI controllers) to use. + +linux/ipmi_msgdefs.h - General definitions for base IPMI messaging. + + +Addressing +---------- + +The IPMI addressing works much like IP addresses, you have an overlay +to handle the different address types. The overlay is:: + + struct ipmi_addr + { + int addr_type; + short channel; + char data[IPMI_MAX_ADDR_SIZE]; + }; + +The addr_type determines what the address really is. The driver +currently understands two different types of addresses. + +"System Interface" addresses are defined as:: + + struct ipmi_system_interface_addr + { + int addr_type; + short channel; + }; + +and the type is IPMI_SYSTEM_INTERFACE_ADDR_TYPE. This is used for talking +straight to the BMC on the current card. The channel must be +IPMI_BMC_CHANNEL. + +Messages that are destined to go out on the IPMB bus use the +IPMI_IPMB_ADDR_TYPE address type. The format is:: + + struct ipmi_ipmb_addr + { + int addr_type; + short channel; + unsigned char slave_addr; + unsigned char lun; + }; + +The "channel" here is generally zero, but some devices support more +than one channel, it corresponds to the channel as defined in the IPMI +spec. + + +Messages +-------- + +Messages are defined as:: + + struct ipmi_msg + { + unsigned char netfn; + unsigned char lun; + unsigned char cmd; + unsigned char *data; + int data_len; + }; + +The driver takes care of adding/stripping the header information. The +data portion is just the data to be send (do NOT put addressing info +here) or the response. Note that the completion code of a response is +the first item in "data", it is not stripped out because that is how +all the messages are defined in the spec (and thus makes counting the +offsets a little easier :-). + +When using the IOCTL interface from userland, you must provide a block +of data for "data", fill it, and set data_len to the length of the +block of data, even when receiving messages. Otherwise the driver +will have no place to put the message. + +Messages coming up from the message handler in kernelland will come in +as:: + + struct ipmi_recv_msg + { + struct list_head link; + + /* The type of message as defined in the "Receive Types" + defines above. */ + int recv_type; + + ipmi_user_t *user; + struct ipmi_addr addr; + long msgid; + struct ipmi_msg msg; + + /* Call this when done with the message. It will presumably free + the message and do any other necessary cleanup. */ + void (*done)(struct ipmi_recv_msg *msg); + + /* Place-holder for the data, don't make any assumptions about + the size or existence of this, since it may change. */ + unsigned char msg_data[IPMI_MAX_MSG_LENGTH]; + }; + +You should look at the receive type and handle the message +appropriately. + + +The Upper Layer Interface (Message Handler) +------------------------------------------- + +The upper layer of the interface provides the users with a consistent +view of the IPMI interfaces. It allows multiple SMI interfaces to be +addressed (because some boards actually have multiple BMCs on them) +and the user should not have to care what type of SMI is below them. + + +Watching For Interfaces +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +When your code comes up, the IPMI driver may or may not have detected +if IPMI devices exist. So you might have to defer your setup until +the device is detected, or you might be able to do it immediately. +To handle this, and to allow for discovery, you register an SMI +watcher with ipmi_smi_watcher_register() to iterate over interfaces +and tell you when they come and go. + + +Creating the User +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +To use the message handler, you must first create a user using +ipmi_create_user. The interface number specifies which SMI you want +to connect to, and you must supply callback functions to be called +when data comes in. The callback function can run at interrupt level, +so be careful using the callbacks. This also allows to you pass in a +piece of data, the handler_data, that will be passed back to you on +all calls. + +Once you are done, call ipmi_destroy_user() to get rid of the user. + +From userland, opening the device automatically creates a user, and +closing the device automatically destroys the user. + + +Messaging +^^^^^^^^^ + +To send a message from kernel-land, the ipmi_request_settime() call does +pretty much all message handling. Most of the parameter are +self-explanatory. However, it takes a "msgid" parameter. This is NOT +the sequence number of messages. It is simply a long value that is +passed back when the response for the message is returned. You may +use it for anything you like. + +Responses come back in the function pointed to by the ipmi_recv_hndl +field of the "handler" that you passed in to ipmi_create_user(). +Remember again, these may be running at interrupt level. Remember to +look at the receive type, too. + +From userland, you fill out an ipmi_req_t structure and use the +IPMICTL_SEND_COMMAND ioctl. For incoming stuff, you can use select() +or poll() to wait for messages to come in. However, you cannot use +read() to get them, you must call the IPMICTL_RECEIVE_MSG with the +ipmi_recv_t structure to actually get the message. Remember that you +must supply a pointer to a block of data in the msg.data field, and +you must fill in the msg.data_len field with the size of the data. +This gives the receiver a place to actually put the message. + +If the message cannot fit into the data you provide, you will get an +EMSGSIZE error and the driver will leave the data in the receive +queue. If you want to get it and have it truncate the message, us +the IPMICTL_RECEIVE_MSG_TRUNC ioctl. + +When you send a command (which is defined by the lowest-order bit of +the netfn per the IPMI spec) on the IPMB bus, the driver will +automatically assign the sequence number to the command and save the +command. If the response is not receive in the IPMI-specified 5 +seconds, it will generate a response automatically saying the command +timed out. If an unsolicited response comes in (if it was after 5 +seconds, for instance), that response will be ignored. + +In kernelland, after you receive a message and are done with it, you +MUST call ipmi_free_recv_msg() on it, or you will leak messages. Note +that you should NEVER mess with the "done" field of a message, that is +required to properly clean up the message. + +Note that when sending, there is an ipmi_request_supply_msgs() call +that lets you supply the smi and receive message. This is useful for +pieces of code that need to work even if the system is out of buffers +(the watchdog timer uses this, for instance). You supply your own +buffer and own free routines. This is not recommended for normal use, +though, since it is tricky to manage your own buffers. + + +Events and Incoming Commands +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The driver takes care of polling for IPMI events and receiving +commands (commands are messages that are not responses, they are +commands that other things on the IPMB bus have sent you). To receive +these, you must register for them, they will not automatically be sent +to you. + +To receive events, you must call ipmi_set_gets_events() and set the +"val" to non-zero. Any events that have been received by the driver +since startup will immediately be delivered to the first user that +registers for events. After that, if multiple users are registered +for events, they will all receive all events that come in. + +For receiving commands, you have to individually register commands you +want to receive. Call ipmi_register_for_cmd() and supply the netfn +and command name for each command you want to receive. You also +specify a bitmask of the channels you want to receive the command from +(or use IPMI_CHAN_ALL for all channels if you don't care). Only one +user may be registered for each netfn/cmd/channel, but different users +may register for different commands, or the same command if the +channel bitmasks do not overlap. + +From userland, equivalent IOCTLs are provided to do these functions. + + +The Lower Layer (SMI) Interface +------------------------------- + +As mentioned before, multiple SMI interfaces may be registered to the +message handler, each of these is assigned an interface number when +they register with the message handler. They are generally assigned +in the order they register, although if an SMI unregisters and then +another one registers, all bets are off. + +The ipmi_smi.h defines the interface for management interfaces, see +that for more details. + + +The SI Driver +------------- + +The SI driver allows KCS, BT, and SMIC interfaces to be configured +in the system. It discovers interfaces through a host of different +methods, depending on the system. + +You can specify up to four interfaces on the module load line and +control some module parameters:: + + modprobe ipmi_si.o type=<type1>,<type2>.... + ports=<port1>,<port2>... addrs=<addr1>,<addr2>... + irqs=<irq1>,<irq2>... + regspacings=<sp1>,<sp2>,... regsizes=<size1>,<size2>,... + regshifts=<shift1>,<shift2>,... + slave_addrs=<addr1>,<addr2>,... + force_kipmid=<enable1>,<enable2>,... + kipmid_max_busy_us=<ustime1>,<ustime2>,... + unload_when_empty=[0|1] + trydmi=[0|1] tryacpi=[0|1] + tryplatform=[0|1] trypci=[0|1] + +Each of these except try... items is a list, the first item for the +first interface, second item for the second interface, etc. + +The si_type may be either "kcs", "smic", or "bt". If you leave it blank, it +defaults to "kcs". + +If you specify addrs as non-zero for an interface, the driver will +use the memory address given as the address of the device. This +overrides si_ports. + +If you specify ports as non-zero for an interface, the driver will +use the I/O port given as the device address. + +If you specify irqs as non-zero for an interface, the driver will +attempt to use the given interrupt for the device. + +The other try... items disable discovery by their corresponding +names. These are all enabled by default, set them to zero to disable +them. The tryplatform disables openfirmware. + +The next three parameters have to do with register layout. The +registers used by the interfaces may not appear at successive +locations and they may not be in 8-bit registers. These parameters +allow the layout of the data in the registers to be more precisely +specified. + +The regspacings parameter give the number of bytes between successive +register start addresses. For instance, if the regspacing is set to 4 +and the start address is 0xca2, then the address for the second +register would be 0xca6. This defaults to 1. + +The regsizes parameter gives the size of a register, in bytes. The +data used by IPMI is 8-bits wide, but it may be inside a larger +register. This parameter allows the read and write type to specified. +It may be 1, 2, 4, or 8. The default is 1. + +Since the register size may be larger than 32 bits, the IPMI data may not +be in the lower 8 bits. The regshifts parameter give the amount to shift +the data to get to the actual IPMI data. + +The slave_addrs specifies the IPMI address of the local BMC. This is +usually 0x20 and the driver defaults to that, but in case it's not, it +can be specified when the driver starts up. + +The force_ipmid parameter forcefully enables (if set to 1) or disables +(if set to 0) the kernel IPMI daemon. Normally this is auto-detected +by the driver, but systems with broken interrupts might need an enable, +or users that don't want the daemon (don't need the performance, don't +want the CPU hit) can disable it. + +If unload_when_empty is set to 1, the driver will be unloaded if it +doesn't find any interfaces or all the interfaces fail to work. The +default is one. Setting to 0 is useful with the hotmod, but is +obviously only useful for modules. + +When compiled into the kernel, the parameters can be specified on the +kernel command line as:: + + ipmi_si.type=<type1>,<type2>... + ipmi_si.ports=<port1>,<port2>... ipmi_si.addrs=<addr1>,<addr2>... + ipmi_si.irqs=<irq1>,<irq2>... + ipmi_si.regspacings=<sp1>,<sp2>,... + ipmi_si.regsizes=<size1>,<size2>,... + ipmi_si.regshifts=<shift1>,<shift2>,... + ipmi_si.slave_addrs=<addr1>,<addr2>,... + ipmi_si.force_kipmid=<enable1>,<enable2>,... + ipmi_si.kipmid_max_busy_us=<ustime1>,<ustime2>,... + +It works the same as the module parameters of the same names. + +If your IPMI interface does not support interrupts and is a KCS or +SMIC interface, the IPMI driver will start a kernel thread for the +interface to help speed things up. This is a low-priority kernel +thread that constantly polls the IPMI driver while an IPMI operation +is in progress. The force_kipmid module parameter will all the user to +force this thread on or off. If you force it off and don't have +interrupts, the driver will run VERY slowly. Don't blame me, +these interfaces suck. + +Unfortunately, this thread can use a lot of CPU depending on the +interface's performance. This can waste a lot of CPU and cause +various issues with detecting idle CPU and using extra power. To +avoid this, the kipmid_max_busy_us sets the maximum amount of time, in +microseconds, that kipmid will spin before sleeping for a tick. This +value sets a balance between performance and CPU waste and needs to be +tuned to your needs. Maybe, someday, auto-tuning will be added, but +that's not a simple thing and even the auto-tuning would need to be +tuned to the user's desired performance. + +The driver supports a hot add and remove of interfaces. This way, +interfaces can be added or removed after the kernel is up and running. +This is done using /sys/modules/ipmi_si/parameters/hotmod, which is a +write-only parameter. You write a string to this interface. The string +has the format:: + + <op1>[:op2[:op3...]] + +The "op"s are:: + + add|remove,kcs|bt|smic,mem|i/o,<address>[,<opt1>[,<opt2>[,...]]] + +You can specify more than one interface on the line. The "opt"s are:: + + rsp=<regspacing> + rsi=<regsize> + rsh=<regshift> + irq=<irq> + ipmb=<ipmb slave addr> + +and these have the same meanings as discussed above. Note that you +can also use this on the kernel command line for a more compact format +for specifying an interface. Note that when removing an interface, +only the first three parameters (si type, address type, and address) +are used for the comparison. Any options are ignored for removing. + +The SMBus Driver (SSIF) +----------------------- + +The SMBus driver allows up to 4 SMBus devices to be configured in the +system. By default, the driver will only register with something it +finds in DMI or ACPI tables. You can change this +at module load time (for a module) with:: + + modprobe ipmi_ssif.o + addr=<i2caddr1>[,<i2caddr2>[,...]] + adapter=<adapter1>[,<adapter2>[...]] + dbg=<flags1>,<flags2>... + slave_addrs=<addr1>,<addr2>,... + tryacpi=[0|1] trydmi=[0|1] + [dbg_probe=1] + +The addresses are normal I2C addresses. The adapter is the string +name of the adapter, as shown in /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-<n>/name. +It is *NOT* i2c-<n> itself. Also, the comparison is done ignoring +spaces, so if the name is "This is an I2C chip" you can say +adapter_name=ThisisanI2cchip. This is because it's hard to pass in +spaces in kernel parameters. + +The debug flags are bit flags for each BMC found, they are: +IPMI messages: 1, driver state: 2, timing: 4, I2C probe: 8 + +The tryxxx parameters can be used to disable detecting interfaces +from various sources. + +Setting dbg_probe to 1 will enable debugging of the probing and +detection process for BMCs on the SMBusses. + +The slave_addrs specifies the IPMI address of the local BMC. This is +usually 0x20 and the driver defaults to that, but in case it's not, it +can be specified when the driver starts up. + +Discovering the IPMI compliant BMC on the SMBus can cause devices on +the I2C bus to fail. The SMBus driver writes a "Get Device ID" IPMI +message as a block write to the I2C bus and waits for a response. +This action can be detrimental to some I2C devices. It is highly +recommended that the known I2C address be given to the SMBus driver in +the smb_addr parameter unless you have DMI or ACPI data to tell the +driver what to use. + +When compiled into the kernel, the addresses can be specified on the +kernel command line as:: + + ipmb_ssif.addr=<i2caddr1>[,<i2caddr2>[...]] + ipmi_ssif.adapter=<adapter1>[,<adapter2>[...]] + ipmi_ssif.dbg=<flags1>[,<flags2>[...]] + ipmi_ssif.dbg_probe=1 + ipmi_ssif.slave_addrs=<addr1>[,<addr2>[...]] + ipmi_ssif.tryacpi=[0|1] ipmi_ssif.trydmi=[0|1] + +These are the same options as on the module command line. + +The I2C driver does not support non-blocking access or polling, so +this driver cannod to IPMI panic events, extend the watchdog at panic +time, or other panic-related IPMI functions without special kernel +patches and driver modifications. You can get those at the openipmi +web page. + +The driver supports a hot add and remove of interfaces through the I2C +sysfs interface. + +Other Pieces +------------ + +Get the detailed info related with the IPMI device +-------------------------------------------------- + +Some users need more detailed information about a device, like where +the address came from or the raw base device for the IPMI interface. +You can use the IPMI smi_watcher to catch the IPMI interfaces as they +come or go, and to grab the information, you can use the function +ipmi_get_smi_info(), which returns the following structure:: + + struct ipmi_smi_info { + enum ipmi_addr_src addr_src; + struct device *dev; + union { + struct { + void *acpi_handle; + } acpi_info; + } addr_info; + }; + +Currently special info for only for SI_ACPI address sources is +returned. Others may be added as necessary. + +Note that the dev pointer is included in the above structure, and +assuming ipmi_smi_get_info returns success, you must call put_device +on the dev pointer. + + +Watchdog +-------- + +A watchdog timer is provided that implements the Linux-standard +watchdog timer interface. It has three module parameters that can be +used to control it:: + + modprobe ipmi_watchdog timeout=<t> pretimeout=<t> action=<action type> + preaction=<preaction type> preop=<preop type> start_now=x + nowayout=x ifnum_to_use=n panic_wdt_timeout=<t> + +ifnum_to_use specifies which interface the watchdog timer should use. +The default is -1, which means to pick the first one registered. + +The timeout is the number of seconds to the action, and the pretimeout +is the amount of seconds before the reset that the pre-timeout panic will +occur (if pretimeout is zero, then pretimeout will not be enabled). Note +that the pretimeout is the time before the final timeout. So if the +timeout is 50 seconds and the pretimeout is 10 seconds, then the pretimeout +will occur in 40 second (10 seconds before the timeout). The panic_wdt_timeout +is the value of timeout which is set on kernel panic, in order to let actions +such as kdump to occur during panic. + +The action may be "reset", "power_cycle", or "power_off", and +specifies what to do when the timer times out, and defaults to +"reset". + +The preaction may be "pre_smi" for an indication through the SMI +interface, "pre_int" for an indication through the SMI with an +interrupts, and "pre_nmi" for a NMI on a preaction. This is how +the driver is informed of the pretimeout. + +The preop may be set to "preop_none" for no operation on a pretimeout, +"preop_panic" to set the preoperation to panic, or "preop_give_data" +to provide data to read from the watchdog device when the pretimeout +occurs. A "pre_nmi" setting CANNOT be used with "preop_give_data" +because you can't do data operations from an NMI. + +When preop is set to "preop_give_data", one byte comes ready to read +on the device when the pretimeout occurs. Select and fasync work on +the device, as well. + +If start_now is set to 1, the watchdog timer will start running as +soon as the driver is loaded. + +If nowayout is set to 1, the watchdog timer will not stop when the +watchdog device is closed. The default value of nowayout is true +if the CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT option is enabled, or false if not. + +When compiled into the kernel, the kernel command line is available +for configuring the watchdog:: + + ipmi_watchdog.timeout=<t> ipmi_watchdog.pretimeout=<t> + ipmi_watchdog.action=<action type> + ipmi_watchdog.preaction=<preaction type> + ipmi_watchdog.preop=<preop type> + ipmi_watchdog.start_now=x + ipmi_watchdog.nowayout=x + ipmi_watchdog.panic_wdt_timeout=<t> + +The options are the same as the module parameter options. + +The watchdog will panic and start a 120 second reset timeout if it +gets a pre-action. During a panic or a reboot, the watchdog will +start a 120 timer if it is running to make sure the reboot occurs. + +Note that if you use the NMI preaction for the watchdog, you MUST NOT +use the nmi watchdog. There is no reasonable way to tell if an NMI +comes from the IPMI controller, so it must assume that if it gets an +otherwise unhandled NMI, it must be from IPMI and it will panic +immediately. + +Once you open the watchdog timer, you must write a 'V' character to the +device to close it, or the timer will not stop. This is a new semantic +for the driver, but makes it consistent with the rest of the watchdog +drivers in Linux. + + +Panic Timeouts +-------------- + +The OpenIPMI driver supports the ability to put semi-custom and custom +events in the system event log if a panic occurs. if you enable the +'Generate a panic event to all BMCs on a panic' option, you will get +one event on a panic in a standard IPMI event format. If you enable +the 'Generate OEM events containing the panic string' option, you will +also get a bunch of OEM events holding the panic string. + + +The field settings of the events are: + +* Generator ID: 0x21 (kernel) +* EvM Rev: 0x03 (this event is formatting in IPMI 1.0 format) +* Sensor Type: 0x20 (OS critical stop sensor) +* Sensor #: The first byte of the panic string (0 if no panic string) +* Event Dir | Event Type: 0x6f (Assertion, sensor-specific event info) +* Event Data 1: 0xa1 (Runtime stop in OEM bytes 2 and 3) +* Event data 2: second byte of panic string +* Event data 3: third byte of panic string + +See the IPMI spec for the details of the event layout. This event is +always sent to the local management controller. It will handle routing +the message to the right place + +Other OEM events have the following format: + +* Record ID (bytes 0-1): Set by the SEL. +* Record type (byte 2): 0xf0 (OEM non-timestamped) +* byte 3: The slave address of the card saving the panic +* byte 4: A sequence number (starting at zero) + The rest of the bytes (11 bytes) are the panic string. If the panic string + is longer than 11 bytes, multiple messages will be sent with increasing + sequence numbers. + +Because you cannot send OEM events using the standard interface, this +function will attempt to find an SEL and add the events there. It +will first query the capabilities of the local management controller. +If it has an SEL, then they will be stored in the SEL of the local +management controller. If not, and the local management controller is +an event generator, the event receiver from the local management +controller will be queried and the events sent to the SEL on that +device. Otherwise, the events go nowhere since there is nowhere to +send them. + + +Poweroff +-------- + +If the poweroff capability is selected, the IPMI driver will install +a shutdown function into the standard poweroff function pointer. This +is in the ipmi_poweroff module. When the system requests a powerdown, +it will send the proper IPMI commands to do this. This is supported on +several platforms. + +There is a module parameter named "poweroff_powercycle" that may +either be zero (do a power down) or non-zero (do a power cycle, power +the system off, then power it on in a few seconds). Setting +ipmi_poweroff.poweroff_control=x will do the same thing on the kernel +command line. The parameter is also available via the proc filesystem +in /proc/sys/dev/ipmi/poweroff_powercycle. Note that if the system +does not support power cycling, it will always do the power off. + +The "ifnum_to_use" parameter specifies which interface the poweroff +code should use. The default is -1, which means to pick the first one +registered. + +Note that if you have ACPI enabled, the system will prefer using ACPI to +power off. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/cec-core.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/cec-core.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..3ce26b7c2b2b --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/cec-core.rst @@ -0,0 +1,474 @@ +.. SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +CEC Kernel Support +================== + +The CEC framework provides a unified kernel interface for use with HDMI CEC +hardware. It is designed to handle a multiple types of hardware (receivers, +transmitters, USB dongles). The framework also gives the option to decide +what to do in the kernel driver and what should be handled by userspace +applications. In addition it integrates the remote control passthrough +feature into the kernel's remote control framework. + + +The CEC Protocol +---------------- + +The CEC protocol enables consumer electronic devices to communicate with each +other through the HDMI connection. The protocol uses logical addresses in the +communication. The logical address is strictly connected with the functionality +provided by the device. The TV acting as the communication hub is always +assigned address 0. The physical address is determined by the physical +connection between devices. + +The CEC framework described here is up to date with the CEC 2.0 specification. +It is documented in the HDMI 1.4 specification with the new 2.0 bits documented +in the HDMI 2.0 specification. But for most of the features the freely available +HDMI 1.3a specification is sufficient: + +http://www.microprocessor.org/HDMISpecification13a.pdf + + +CEC Adapter Interface +--------------------- + +The struct cec_adapter represents the CEC adapter hardware. It is created by +calling cec_allocate_adapter() and deleted by calling cec_delete_adapter(): + +.. c:function:: + struct cec_adapter *cec_allocate_adapter(const struct cec_adap_ops *ops, void *priv, + const char *name, u32 caps, u8 available_las); + +.. c:function:: + void cec_delete_adapter(struct cec_adapter *adap); + +To create an adapter you need to pass the following information: + +ops: + adapter operations which are called by the CEC framework and that you + have to implement. + +priv: + will be stored in adap->priv and can be used by the adapter ops. + Use cec_get_drvdata(adap) to get the priv pointer. + +name: + the name of the CEC adapter. Note: this name will be copied. + +caps: + capabilities of the CEC adapter. These capabilities determine the + capabilities of the hardware and which parts are to be handled + by userspace and which parts are handled by kernelspace. The + capabilities are returned by CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS. + +available_las: + the number of simultaneous logical addresses that this + adapter can handle. Must be 1 <= available_las <= CEC_MAX_LOG_ADDRS. + +To obtain the priv pointer use this helper function: + +.. c:function:: + void *cec_get_drvdata(const struct cec_adapter *adap); + +To register the /dev/cecX device node and the remote control device (if +CEC_CAP_RC is set) you call: + +.. c:function:: + int cec_register_adapter(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct device *parent); + +where parent is the parent device. + +To unregister the devices call: + +.. c:function:: + void cec_unregister_adapter(struct cec_adapter *adap); + +Note: if cec_register_adapter() fails, then call cec_delete_adapter() to +clean up. But if cec_register_adapter() succeeded, then only call +cec_unregister_adapter() to clean up, never cec_delete_adapter(). The +unregister function will delete the adapter automatically once the last user +of that /dev/cecX device has closed its file handle. + + +Implementing the Low-Level CEC Adapter +-------------------------------------- + +The following low-level adapter operations have to be implemented in +your driver: + +.. c:type:: struct cec_adap_ops + +.. code-block:: none + + struct cec_adap_ops + { + /* Low-level callbacks */ + int (*adap_enable)(struct cec_adapter *adap, bool enable); + int (*adap_monitor_all_enable)(struct cec_adapter *adap, bool enable); + int (*adap_monitor_pin_enable)(struct cec_adapter *adap, bool enable); + int (*adap_log_addr)(struct cec_adapter *adap, u8 logical_addr); + int (*adap_transmit)(struct cec_adapter *adap, u8 attempts, + u32 signal_free_time, struct cec_msg *msg); + void (*adap_status)(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct seq_file *file); + void (*adap_free)(struct cec_adapter *adap); + + /* Error injection callbacks */ + ... + + /* High-level callbacks */ + ... + }; + +The seven low-level ops deal with various aspects of controlling the CEC adapter +hardware: + + +To enable/disable the hardware: + +.. c:function:: + int (*adap_enable)(struct cec_adapter *adap, bool enable); + +This callback enables or disables the CEC hardware. Enabling the CEC hardware +means powering it up in a state where no logical addresses are claimed. This +op assumes that the physical address (adap->phys_addr) is valid when enable is +true and will not change while the CEC adapter remains enabled. The initial +state of the CEC adapter after calling cec_allocate_adapter() is disabled. + +Note that adap_enable must return 0 if enable is false. + + +To enable/disable the 'monitor all' mode: + +.. c:function:: + int (*adap_monitor_all_enable)(struct cec_adapter *adap, bool enable); + +If enabled, then the adapter should be put in a mode to also monitor messages +that not for us. Not all hardware supports this and this function is only +called if the CEC_CAP_MONITOR_ALL capability is set. This callback is optional +(some hardware may always be in 'monitor all' mode). + +Note that adap_monitor_all_enable must return 0 if enable is false. + + +To enable/disable the 'monitor pin' mode: + +.. c:function:: + int (*adap_monitor_pin_enable)(struct cec_adapter *adap, bool enable); + +If enabled, then the adapter should be put in a mode to also monitor CEC pin +changes. Not all hardware supports this and this function is only called if +the CEC_CAP_MONITOR_PIN capability is set. This callback is optional +(some hardware may always be in 'monitor pin' mode). + +Note that adap_monitor_pin_enable must return 0 if enable is false. + + +To program a new logical address: + +.. c:function:: + int (*adap_log_addr)(struct cec_adapter *adap, u8 logical_addr); + +If logical_addr == CEC_LOG_ADDR_INVALID then all programmed logical addresses +are to be erased. Otherwise the given logical address should be programmed. +If the maximum number of available logical addresses is exceeded, then it +should return -ENXIO. Once a logical address is programmed the CEC hardware +can receive directed messages to that address. + +Note that adap_log_addr must return 0 if logical_addr is CEC_LOG_ADDR_INVALID. + + +To transmit a new message: + +.. c:function:: + int (*adap_transmit)(struct cec_adapter *adap, u8 attempts, + u32 signal_free_time, struct cec_msg *msg); + +This transmits a new message. The attempts argument is the suggested number of +attempts for the transmit. + +The signal_free_time is the number of data bit periods that the adapter should +wait when the line is free before attempting to send a message. This value +depends on whether this transmit is a retry, a message from a new initiator or +a new message for the same initiator. Most hardware will handle this +automatically, but in some cases this information is needed. + +The CEC_FREE_TIME_TO_USEC macro can be used to convert signal_free_time to +microseconds (one data bit period is 2.4 ms). + + +To log the current CEC hardware status: + +.. c:function:: + void (*adap_status)(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct seq_file *file); + +This optional callback can be used to show the status of the CEC hardware. +The status is available through debugfs: cat /sys/kernel/debug/cec/cecX/status + +To free any resources when the adapter is deleted: + +.. c:function:: + void (*adap_free)(struct cec_adapter *adap); + +This optional callback can be used to free any resources that might have been +allocated by the driver. It's called from cec_delete_adapter. + + +Your adapter driver will also have to react to events (typically interrupt +driven) by calling into the framework in the following situations: + +When a transmit finished (successfully or otherwise): + +.. c:function:: + void cec_transmit_done(struct cec_adapter *adap, u8 status, u8 arb_lost_cnt, + u8 nack_cnt, u8 low_drive_cnt, u8 error_cnt); + +or: + +.. c:function:: + void cec_transmit_attempt_done(struct cec_adapter *adap, u8 status); + +The status can be one of: + +CEC_TX_STATUS_OK: + the transmit was successful. + +CEC_TX_STATUS_ARB_LOST: + arbitration was lost: another CEC initiator + took control of the CEC line and you lost the arbitration. + +CEC_TX_STATUS_NACK: + the message was nacked (for a directed message) or + acked (for a broadcast message). A retransmission is needed. + +CEC_TX_STATUS_LOW_DRIVE: + low drive was detected on the CEC bus. This indicates that + a follower detected an error on the bus and requested a + retransmission. + +CEC_TX_STATUS_ERROR: + some unspecified error occurred: this can be one of ARB_LOST + or LOW_DRIVE if the hardware cannot differentiate or something + else entirely. Some hardware only supports OK and FAIL as the + result of a transmit, i.e. there is no way to differentiate + between the different possible errors. In that case map FAIL + to CEC_TX_STATUS_NACK and not to CEC_TX_STATUS_ERROR. + +CEC_TX_STATUS_MAX_RETRIES: + could not transmit the message after trying multiple times. + Should only be set by the driver if it has hardware support for + retrying messages. If set, then the framework assumes that it + doesn't have to make another attempt to transmit the message + since the hardware did that already. + +The hardware must be able to differentiate between OK, NACK and 'something +else'. + +The \*_cnt arguments are the number of error conditions that were seen. +This may be 0 if no information is available. Drivers that do not support +hardware retry can just set the counter corresponding to the transmit error +to 1, if the hardware does support retry then either set these counters to +0 if the hardware provides no feedback of which errors occurred and how many +times, or fill in the correct values as reported by the hardware. + +Be aware that calling these functions can immediately start a new transmit +if there is one pending in the queue. So make sure that the hardware is in +a state where new transmits can be started *before* calling these functions. + +The cec_transmit_attempt_done() function is a helper for cases where the +hardware never retries, so the transmit is always for just a single +attempt. It will call cec_transmit_done() in turn, filling in 1 for the +count argument corresponding to the status. Or all 0 if the status was OK. + +When a CEC message was received: + +.. c:function:: + void cec_received_msg(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct cec_msg *msg); + +Speaks for itself. + +Implementing the interrupt handler +---------------------------------- + +Typically the CEC hardware provides interrupts that signal when a transmit +finished and whether it was successful or not, and it provides and interrupt +when a CEC message was received. + +The CEC driver should always process the transmit interrupts first before +handling the receive interrupt. The framework expects to see the cec_transmit_done +call before the cec_received_msg call, otherwise it can get confused if the +received message was in reply to the transmitted message. + +Optional: Implementing Error Injection Support +---------------------------------------------- + +If the CEC adapter supports Error Injection functionality, then that can +be exposed through the Error Injection callbacks: + +.. code-block:: none + + struct cec_adap_ops { + /* Low-level callbacks */ + ... + + /* Error injection callbacks */ + int (*error_inj_show)(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct seq_file *sf); + bool (*error_inj_parse_line)(struct cec_adapter *adap, char *line); + + /* High-level CEC message callback */ + ... + }; + +If both callbacks are set, then an ``error-inj`` file will appear in debugfs. +The basic syntax is as follows: + +Leading spaces/tabs are ignored. If the next character is a ``#`` or the end of the +line was reached, then the whole line is ignored. Otherwise a command is expected. + +This basic parsing is done in the CEC Framework. It is up to the driver to decide +what commands to implement. The only requirement is that the command ``clear`` without +any arguments must be implemented and that it will remove all current error injection +commands. + +This ensures that you can always do ``echo clear >error-inj`` to clear any error +injections without having to know the details of the driver-specific commands. + +Note that the output of ``error-inj`` shall be valid as input to ``error-inj``. +So this must work: + +.. code-block:: none + + $ cat error-inj >einj.txt + $ cat einj.txt >error-inj + +The first callback is called when this file is read and it should show the +the current error injection state: + +.. c:function:: + int (*error_inj_show)(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct seq_file *sf); + +It is recommended that it starts with a comment block with basic usage +information. It returns 0 for success and an error otherwise. + +The second callback will parse commands written to the ``error-inj`` file: + +.. c:function:: + bool (*error_inj_parse_line)(struct cec_adapter *adap, char *line); + +The ``line`` argument points to the start of the command. Any leading +spaces or tabs have already been skipped. It is a single line only (so there +are no embedded newlines) and it is 0-terminated. The callback is free to +modify the contents of the buffer. It is only called for lines containing a +command, so this callback is never called for empty lines or comment lines. + +Return true if the command was valid or false if there were syntax errors. + +Implementing the High-Level CEC Adapter +--------------------------------------- + +The low-level operations drive the hardware, the high-level operations are +CEC protocol driven. The following high-level callbacks are available: + +.. code-block:: none + + struct cec_adap_ops { + /* Low-level callbacks */ + ... + + /* Error injection callbacks */ + ... + + /* High-level CEC message callback */ + int (*received)(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct cec_msg *msg); + }; + +The received() callback allows the driver to optionally handle a newly +received CEC message + +.. c:function:: + int (*received)(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct cec_msg *msg); + +If the driver wants to process a CEC message, then it can implement this +callback. If it doesn't want to handle this message, then it should return +-ENOMSG, otherwise the CEC framework assumes it processed this message and +it will not do anything with it. + + +CEC framework functions +----------------------- + +CEC Adapter drivers can call the following CEC framework functions: + +.. c:function:: + int cec_transmit_msg(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct cec_msg *msg, + bool block); + +Transmit a CEC message. If block is true, then wait until the message has been +transmitted, otherwise just queue it and return. + +.. c:function:: + void cec_s_phys_addr(struct cec_adapter *adap, u16 phys_addr, + bool block); + +Change the physical address. This function will set adap->phys_addr and +send an event if it has changed. If cec_s_log_addrs() has been called and +the physical address has become valid, then the CEC framework will start +claiming the logical addresses. If block is true, then this function won't +return until this process has finished. + +When the physical address is set to a valid value the CEC adapter will +be enabled (see the adap_enable op). When it is set to CEC_PHYS_ADDR_INVALID, +then the CEC adapter will be disabled. If you change a valid physical address +to another valid physical address, then this function will first set the +address to CEC_PHYS_ADDR_INVALID before enabling the new physical address. + +.. c:function:: + void cec_s_phys_addr_from_edid(struct cec_adapter *adap, + const struct edid *edid); + +A helper function that extracts the physical address from the edid struct +and calls cec_s_phys_addr() with that address, or CEC_PHYS_ADDR_INVALID +if the EDID did not contain a physical address or edid was a NULL pointer. + +.. c:function:: + int cec_s_log_addrs(struct cec_adapter *adap, + struct cec_log_addrs *log_addrs, bool block); + +Claim the CEC logical addresses. Should never be called if CEC_CAP_LOG_ADDRS +is set. If block is true, then wait until the logical addresses have been +claimed, otherwise just queue it and return. To unconfigure all logical +addresses call this function with log_addrs set to NULL or with +log_addrs->num_log_addrs set to 0. The block argument is ignored when +unconfiguring. This function will just return if the physical address is +invalid.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +The bttv driver +=============== + +bttv and sound mini howto +------------------------- + +There are a lot of different bt848/849/878/879 based boards available. +Making video work often is not a big deal, because this is handled +completely by the bt8xx chip, which is common on all boards. But +sound is handled in slightly different ways on each board. + +To handle the grabber boards correctly, there is a array tvcards[] in +bttv-cards.c, which holds the information required for each board. +Sound will work only, if the correct entry is used (for video it often +makes no difference). The bttv driver prints a line to the kernel +log, telling which card type is used. Like this one:: + + bttv0: model: BT848(Hauppauge old) [autodetected] + +You should verify this is correct. If it isn't, you have to pass the +correct board type as insmod argument, ``insmod bttv card=2`` for +example. The file :doc:`/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist` has a list +of valid arguments for card. + +If your card isn't listed there, you might check the source code for +new entries which are not listed yet. If there isn't one for your +card, you can check if one of the existing entries does work for you +(just trial and error...). + +Some boards have an extra processor for sound to do stereo decoding +and other nice features. The msp34xx chips are used by Hauppauge for +example. If your board has one, you might have to load a helper +module like ``msp3400`` to make sound work. If there isn't one for the +chip used on your board: Bad luck. Start writing a new one. Well, +you might want to check the video4linux mailing list archive first... + +Of course you need a correctly installed soundcard unless you have the +speakers connected directly to the grabber board. Hint: check the +mixer settings too. ALSA for example has everything muted by default. + + +How sound works in detail +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Still doesn't work? Looks like some driver hacking is required. +Below is a do-it-yourself description for you. + +The bt8xx chips have 32 general purpose pins, and registers to control +these pins. One register is the output enable register +(``BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN``), it says which pins are actively driven by the +bt848 chip. Another one is the data register (``BT848_GPIO_DATA``), where +you can get/set the status if these pins. They can be used for input +and output. + +Most grabber board vendors use these pins to control an external chip +which does the sound routing. But every board is a little different. +These pins are also used by some companies to drive remote control +receiver chips. Some boards use the i2c bus instead of the gpio pins +to connect the mux chip. + +As mentioned above, there is a array which holds the required +information for each known board. You basically have to create a new +line for your board. The important fields are these two:: + + struct tvcard + { + [ ... ] + u32 gpiomask; + u32 audiomux[6]; /* Tuner, Radio, external, internal, mute, stereo */ + }; + +gpiomask specifies which pins are used to control the audio mux chip. +The corresponding bits in the output enable register +(``BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN``) will be set as these pins must be driven by the +bt848 chip. + +The ``audiomux[]`` array holds the data values for the different inputs +(i.e. which pins must be high/low for tuner/mute/...). This will be +written to the data register (``BT848_GPIO_DATA``) to switch the audio +mux. + + +What you have to do is figure out the correct values for gpiomask and +the audiomux array. If you have Windows and the drivers four your +card installed, you might to check out if you can read these registers +values used by the windows driver. A tool to do this is available +from http://btwincap.sourceforge.net/download.html. + +You might also dig around in the ``*.ini`` files of the Windows applications. +You can have a look at the board to see which of the gpio pins are +connected at all and then start trial-and-error ... + + +Starting with release 0.7.41 bttv has a number of insmod options to +make the gpio debugging easier: + + ================= ============================================== + bttv_gpio=0/1 enable/disable gpio debug messages + gpiomask=n set the gpiomask value + audiomux=i,j,... set the values of the audiomux array + audioall=a set the values of the audiomux array (one + value for all array elements, useful to check + out which effect the particular value has). + ================= ============================================== + +The messages printed with ``bttv_gpio=1`` look like this:: + + bttv0: gpio: en=00000027, out=00000024 in=00ffffd8 [audio: off] + + en = output _en_able register (BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN) + out = _out_put bits of the data register (BT848_GPIO_DATA), + i.e. BT848_GPIO_DATA & BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN + in = _in_put bits of the data register, + i.e. BT848_GPIO_DATA & ~BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/contributors.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/contributors.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..f23b6e6faf46 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/contributors.rst @@ -0,0 +1,131 @@ +..

See cpia2.sf.net for 2.4 support. + +Programmer's overview of cpia2 driver +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Cpia2 is the second generation video coprocessor from VLSI Vision Ltd (now a +division of ST Microelectronics). There are two versions. The first is the +STV0672, which is capable of up to 30 frames per second (fps) in frame sizes +up to CIF, and 15 fps for VGA frames. The STV0676 is an improved version, +which can handle up to 30 fps VGA. Both coprocessors can be attached to two +CMOS sensors - the vvl6410 CIF sensor and the vvl6500 VGA sensor. These will +be referred to as the 410 and the 500 sensors, or the CIF and VGA sensors. + +The two chipsets operate almost identically. The core is an 8051 processor, +running two different versions of firmware. The 672 runs the VP4 video +processor code, the 676 runs VP5. There are a few differences in register +mappings for the two chips. In these cases, the symbols defined in the +header files are marked with VP4 or VP5 as part of the symbol name. + +The cameras appear externally as three sets of registers. Setting register +values is the only way to control the camera. Some settings are +interdependant, such as the sequence required to power up the camera. I will +try to make note of all of these cases. + +The register sets are called blocks. Block 0 is the system block. This +section is always powered on when the camera is plugged in. It contains +registers that control housekeeping functions such as powering up the video +processor. The video processor is the VP block. These registers control +how the video from the sensor is processed. Examples are timing registers, +user mode (vga, qvga), scaling, cropping, framerates, and so on. The last +block is the video compressor (VC). The video stream sent from the camera is +compressed as Motion JPEG (JPEGA). The VC controls all of the compression +parameters. Looking at the file cpia2_registers.h, you can get a full view +of these registers and the possible values for most of them. + +One or more registers can be set or read by sending a usb control message to +the camera. There are three modes for this. Block mode requests a number +of contiguous registers. Random mode reads or writes random registers with +a tuple structure containing address/value pairs. The repeat mode is only +used by VP4 to load a firmware patch. It contains a starting address and +a sequence of bytes to be written into a gpio port. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/cx2341x-devel.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/cx2341x-devel.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..97699df6ea2e --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/cx2341x-devel.rst @@ -0,0 +1,3685 @@ +..

The direction is from the +perspective of the firmware. + + ==== ========== ============================================ + Bit Direction Purpose + ==== ========== ============================================ + 2 O Firmware has processed the command. + 1 I Driver has finished setting the parameters. + 0 I Driver is using this mailbox. + ==== ========== ============================================ + +The command is a 32-bit enumerator. The API specifics may be found in this +chapter. + +The return value is a 32-bit enumerator. Only two values are currently defined: + +- 0=success +- -1=command undefined. + +There are 16 parameters/results 32-bit fields. The driver populates these fields +with values for all the parameters required by the call. The driver overwrites +these fields with result values returned by the call. + +The timeout value protects the card from a hung driver thread. If the driver +doesn't handle the completed call within the timeout specified, the firmware +will reset that mailbox. + +To make an API call, the driver iterates over each mailbox looking for the +first one available (bit 0 has been cleared). The driver sets that bit, fills +in the command enumerator, the timeout value and any required parameters. The +driver then sets the parameter ready bit (bit 1). The firmware scans the +mailboxes for pending commands, processes them, sets the result code, populates +the result value array with that call's return values and sets the call +complete bit (bit 2). Once bit 2 is set, the driver should retrieve the results +and clear all the flags. If the driver does not perform this task within the +time set in the timeout register, the firmware will reset that mailbox. + +Event notifications are sent from the firmware to the host.

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

This means it has a DMA +engine to efficiently transfer large volumes of data between the card and main +memory without requiring help from a CPU. Like most hardware, it must operate +on contiguous physical memory. This is difficult to come by in large quantities +on virtual memory machines. + +Therefore, it also supports a technique called "scatter-gather". The card can +transfer multiple buffers in one operation. Instead of allocating one large +contiguous buffer, the driver can allocate several smaller buffers. + +In practice, I've seen the average transfer to be roughly 80K, but transfers +above 128K were not uncommon, particularly at startup. The 128K figure is +important, because that is the largest block that the kernel can normally +allocate. Even still, 128K blocks are hard to come by, so the driver writer is +urged to choose a smaller block size and learn the scatter-gather technique. + +Mailbox #10 is reserved for DMA transfer information. + +Note: the hardware expects little-endian data ('intel format'). + +Flow +~~~~ + +This section describes, in general, the order of events when handling DMA +transfers. Detailed information follows this section. + +- The card raises the Encoder interrupt. +- The driver reads the transfer type, offset and size from Mailbox #10. +- The driver constructs the scatter-gather array from enough free dma buffers + to cover the size. +- The driver schedules the DMA transfer via the ScheduleDMAtoHost API call. +- The card raises the DMA Complete interrupt. +- The driver checks the DMA status register for any errors. +- The driver post-processes the newly transferred buffers. + +NOTE! It is possible that the Encoder and DMA Complete interrupts get raised +simultaneously. (End of the last, start of the next, etc.) + +Mailbox #10 +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The Flags, Command, Return Value and Timeout fields are ignored. + +- Name: Mailbox #10 +- Results[0]: Type: 0: MPEG. +- Results[1]: Offset: The position relative to the card's memory space. +- Results[2]: Size: The exact number of bytes to transfer. + +My speculation is that since the StartCapture API has a capture type of "RAW" +available, that the type field will have other values that correspond to YUV +and PCM data. + +Scatter-Gather Array +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The scatter-gather array is a contiguously allocated block of memory that +tells the card the source and destination of each data-block to transfer. +Card "addresses" are derived from the offset supplied by Mailbox #10. Host +addresses are the physical memory location of the target DMA buffer. + +Each S-G array element is a struct of three 32-bit words. The first word is +the source address, the second is the destination address. Both take up the +entire 32 bits. The lowest 18 bits of the third word is the transfer byte +count. The high-bit of the third word is the "last" flag. The last-flag tells +the card to raise the DMA_DONE interrupt. From hard personal experience, if +you forget to set this bit, the card will still "work" but the stream will +most likely get corrupted. + +The transfer count must be a multiple of 256. Therefore, the driver will need +to track how much data in the target buffer is valid and deal with it +accordingly. + +Array Element: + +- 32-bit Source Address +- 32-bit Destination Address +- 14-bit reserved (high bit is the last flag) +- 18-bit byte count + +DMA Transfer Status +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Register 0x0004 holds the DMA Transfer Status: + +- bit 0: read completed +- bit 1: write completed +- bit 2: DMA read error +- bit 3: DMA write error +- bit 4: Scatter-Gather array error diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/cx88-devel.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/cx88-devel.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..cfe7c03f4930 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/cx88-devel.rst @@ -0,0 +1,113 @@ +..

Normally this is not a +problem, if you only want to watch TV (this does not apply for HDTV), +but watching a channel while recording another channel on the same +frequency simply does not work very well. This applies to all USB1.1 +DVB-T devices, not just the dvb-usb-devices) + +The bug, where the TS is distorted by a heavy usage of the device is gone +definitely.

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

It is here where state + changes inside the pvrusb2 driver are translated into V4L2 + commands that are in turn send to the various I2C modules. + +pvrusb2-i2c-core.[ch] - This module provides an implementation of a + kernel-friendly I2C adaptor driver, through which other external + I2C client drivers (e.g. msp3400, tuner, lirc) may connect and + operate corresponding chips within the pvrusb2 device. It is + through here that other V4L modules can reach into this driver to + operate specific pieces (and those modules are in turn driven by + glue logic which is coordinated by pvrusb2-hdw, doled out by + pvrusb2-context, and then ultimately made available to users + through one of the high level interfaces). + +pvrusb2-io.[ch] - This module implements a very low level ring of + transfer buffers, required in order to stream data from the + device. This module is *very* low level. It only operates the + buffers and makes no attempt to define any policy or mechanism for + how such buffers might be used. + +pvrusb2-ioread.[ch] - This module layers on top of pvrusb2-io.[ch] + to provide a streaming API usable by a read() system call style of + I/O. Right now this is the only layer on top of pvrusb2-io.[ch], + however the underlying architecture here was intended to allow for + other styles of I/O to be implemented with additional modules, like + mmap()'ed buffers or something even more exotic. + +pvrusb2-main.c - This is the top level of the driver. Module level + and USB core entry points are here. This is our "main". + +pvrusb2-sysfs.[ch] - This is the high level interface which ties the + pvrusb2 driver into sysfs. Through this interface you can do + everything with the driver except actually stream data. + +pvrusb2-tuner.[ch] - This is glue logic that resides between this + driver and the tuner.ko I2C client driver (which is found + elsewhere in V4L). + +pvrusb2-util.h - This header defines some common macros used + throughout the driver. These macros are not really specific to + the driver, but they had to go somewhere. + +pvrusb2-v4l2.[ch] - This is the high level interface which ties the + pvrusb2 driver into video4linux.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +The Radiotrack radio driver +=========================== + +Author: Stephen M. Benoit <benoits@servicepro.com> + +Date: Dec 14, 1996 + +ACKNOWLEDGMENTS +---------------- + +This document was made based on 'C' code for Linux from Gideon le Grange +(legrang@active.co.za or legrang@cs.sun.ac.za) in 1994, and elaborations from +Frans Brinkman (brinkman@esd.nl) in 1996. The results reported here are from +experiments that the author performed on his own setup, so your mileage may +vary... I make no guarantees, claims or warranties to the suitability or +validity of this information. No other documentation on the AIMS +Lab (http://www.aimslab.com/) RadioTrack card was made available to the +author. This document is offered in the hopes that it might help users who +want to use the RadioTrack card in an environment other than MS Windows. + +WHY THIS DOCUMENT? +------------------ + +I have a RadioTrack card from back when I ran an MS-Windows platform. After +converting to Linux, I found Gideon le Grange's command-line software for +running the card, and found that it was good! Frans Brinkman made a +comfortable X-windows interface, and added a scanning feature. For hack +value, I wanted to see if the tuner could be tuned beyond the usual FM radio +broadcast band, so I could pick up the audio carriers from North American +broadcast TV channels, situated just below and above the 87.0-109.0 MHz range. +I did not get much success, but I learned about programming ioports under +Linux and gained some insights about the hardware design used for the card. + +So, without further delay, here are the details. + + +PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION +-------------------- + +The RadioTrack card is an ISA 8-bit FM radio card. The radio frequency (RF) +input is simply an antenna lead, and the output is a power audio signal +available through a miniature phone plug. Its RF frequencies of operation are +more or less limited from 87.0 to 109.0 MHz (the commercial FM broadcast +band). Although the registers can be programmed to request frequencies beyond +these limits, experiments did not give promising results. The variable +frequency oscillator (VFO) that demodulates the intermediate frequency (IF) +signal probably has a small range of useful frequencies, and wraps around or +gets clipped beyond the limits mentioned above. + + +CONTROLLING THE CARD WITH IOPORT +-------------------------------- + +The RadioTrack (base) ioport is configurable for 0x30c or 0x20c.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +Digital TV Demux kABI +--------------------- + +Digital TV Demux +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The Kernel Digital TV Demux kABI defines a driver-internal interface for +registering low-level, hardware specific driver to a hardware independent +demux layer. It is only of interest for Digital TV device driver writers. +The header file for this kABI is named ``demux.h`` and located in +``include/media``. + +The demux kABI should be implemented for each demux in the system. It is +used to select the TS source of a demux and to manage the demux resources. +When the demux client allocates a resource via the demux kABI, it receives +a pointer to the kABI of that resource. + +Each demux receives its TS input from a DVB front-end or from memory, as +set via this demux kABI. In a system with more than one front-end, the kABI +can be used to select one of the DVB front-ends as a TS source for a demux, +unless this is fixed in the HW platform. + +The demux kABI only controls front-ends regarding to their connections with +demuxes; the kABI used to set the other front-end parameters, such as +tuning, are devined via the Digital TV Frontend kABI. + +The functions that implement the abstract interface demux should be defined +static or module private and registered to the Demux core for external +access. It is not necessary to implement every function in the struct +:c:type:`dmx_demux`. For example, a demux interface might support Section filtering, +but not PES filtering. The kABI client is expected to check the value of any +function pointer before calling the function: the value of ``NULL`` means +that the function is not available. + +Whenever the functions of the demux API modify shared data, the +possibilities of lost update and race condition problems should be +addressed, e.g. by protecting parts of code with mutexes. + +Note that functions called from a bottom half context must not sleep. +Even a simple memory allocation without using ``GFP_ATOMIC`` can result in a +kernel thread being put to sleep if swapping is needed. For example, the +Linux Kernel calls the functions of a network device interface from a +bottom half context. Thus, if a demux kABI function is called from network +device code, the function must not sleep. + +Demux Callback API +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This kernel-space API comprises the callback functions that deliver filtered +data to the demux client. Unlike the other DVB kABIs, these functions are +provided by the client and called from the demux code. + +The function pointers of this abstract interface are not packed into a +structure as in the other demux APIs, because the callback functions are +registered and used independent of each other. As an example, it is possible +for the API client to provide several callback functions for receiving TS +packets and no callbacks for PES packets or sections. + +The functions that implement the callback API need not be re-entrant: when +a demux driver calls one of these functions, the driver is not allowed to +call the function again before the original call returns. If a callback is +triggered by a hardware interrupt, it is recommended to use the Linux +bottom half mechanism or start a tasklet instead of making the callback +function call directly from a hardware interrupt. + +This mechanism is implemented by :c:func:`dmx_ts_cb()` and :c:func:`dmx_section_cb()` +callbacks. + +Digital TV Demux device registration functions and data structures +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. kernel-doc:: include/media/dmxdev.h + +High-level Digital TV demux interface +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. kernel-doc:: include/media/dvb_demux.h + +Driver-internal low-level hardware specific driver demux interface +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. kernel-doc:: include/media/demux.h diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/dtv-frontend.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/dtv-frontend.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..b362109bb131 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/dtv-frontend.rst @@ -0,0 +1,445 @@ +..

It supports multiple algorithms to +detect a channel, as defined at enum :c:func:`dvbfe_algo`. + +The algorithm to be used is obtained via ``.get_frontend_algo``. If the driver +doesn't fill its field at struct :c:type:`dvb_frontend_ops`, it will default to +``DVBFE_ALGO_SW``, meaning that the dvb-core will do a zigzag when tuning, +e. g. it will try first to use the specified center frequency ``f``, +then, it will do ``f`` + |delta|, ``f`` - |delta|, ``f`` + 2 x |delta|, +``f`` - 2 x |delta| and so on. + +If the hardware has internally a some sort of zigzag algorithm, you should +define a ``.get_frontend_algo`` function that would return ``DVBFE_ALGO_HW``. + +.. note:: + + The core frontend support also supports + a third type (``DVBFE_ALGO_CUSTOM``), in order to allow the driver to + define its own hardware-assisted algorithm. Very few hardware need to + use it nowadays. Using ``DVBFE_ALGO_CUSTOM`` require to provide other + function callbacks at struct :c:type:`dvb_frontend_ops`. + +Attaching frontend driver to the bridge driver +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Before using the Digital TV frontend core, the bridge driver should attach +the frontend demod, tuner and SEC devices and call +:c:func:`dvb_register_frontend()`, +in order to register the new frontend at the subsystem. At device +detach/removal, the bridge driver should call +:c:func:`dvb_unregister_frontend()` to +remove the frontend from the core and then :c:func:`dvb_frontend_detach()` +to free the memory allocated by the frontend drivers. + +The drivers should also call :c:func:`dvb_frontend_suspend()` as part of +their handler for the :c:type:`device_driver`.\ ``suspend()``, and +:c:func:`dvb_frontend_resume()` as +part of their handler for :c:type:`device_driver`.\ ``resume()``. + +A few other optional functions are provided to handle some special cases. + +.. _dvbv5_stats: + +Digital TV Frontend statistics +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Introduction +^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Digital TV frontends provide a range of +:ref:`statistics <frontend-stat-properties>` meant to help tuning the device +and measuring the quality of service. + +For each statistics measurement, the driver should set the type of scale used, +or ``FE_SCALE_NOT_AVAILABLE`` if the statistics is not available on a given +time. Drivers should also provide the number of statistics for each type. +that's usually 1 for most video standards [#f2]_. + +Drivers should initialize each statistic counters with length and +scale at its init code. For example, if the frontend provides signal +strength, it should have, on its init code:: + + struct dtv_frontend_properties *c = &state->fe.dtv_property_cache; + + c->strength.len = 1; + c->strength.stat[0].scale = FE_SCALE_NOT_AVAILABLE; + +And, when the statistics got updated, set the scale:: + + c->strength.stat[0].scale = FE_SCALE_DECIBEL; + c->strength.stat[0].uvalue = strength; + +.. [#f2] For ISDB-T, it may provide both a global statistics and a per-layer + set of statistics. On such cases, len should be equal to 4. The first + value corresponds to the global stat; the other ones to each layer, e. g.: + + - c->cnr.stat[0] for global S/N carrier ratio, + - c->cnr.stat[1] for Layer A S/N carrier ratio, + - c->cnr.stat[2] for layer B S/N carrier ratio, + - c->cnr.stat[3] for layer C S/N carrier ratio. + +.. note:: Please prefer to use ``FE_SCALE_DECIBEL`` instead of + ``FE_SCALE_RELATIVE`` for signal strength and CNR measurements. + +Groups of statistics +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +There are several groups of statistics currently supported: + +Signal strength (:ref:`DTV-STAT-SIGNAL-STRENGTH`) + - Measures the signal strength level at the analog part of the tuner or + demod. + + - Typically obtained from the gain applied to the tuner and/or frontend + in order to detect the carrier. When no carrier is detected, the gain is + at the maximum value (so, strength is on its minimal). + + - As the gain is visible through the set of registers that adjust the gain, + typically, this statistics is always available [#f3]_. + + - Drivers should try to make it available all the times, as these statistics + can be used when adjusting an antenna position and to check for troubles + at the cabling. + + .. [#f3] On a few devices, the gain keeps floating if there is no carrier. + On such devices, strength report should check first if carrier is + detected at the tuner (``FE_HAS_CARRIER``, see :c:type:`fe_status`), + and otherwise return the lowest possible value. + +Carrier Signal to Noise ratio (:ref:`DTV-STAT-CNR`) + - Signal to Noise ratio for the main carrier. + + - Signal to Noise measurement depends on the device. On some hardware, it is + available when the main carrier is detected. On those hardware, CNR + measurement usually comes from the tuner (e. g. after ``FE_HAS_CARRIER``, + see :c:type:`fe_status`). + + On other devices, it requires inner FEC decoding, + as the frontend measures it indirectly from other parameters (e. g. after + ``FE_HAS_VITERBI``, see :c:type:`fe_status`). + + Having it available after inner FEC is more common. + +Bit counts post-FEC (:ref:`DTV-STAT-POST-ERROR-BIT-COUNT` and :ref:`DTV-STAT-POST-TOTAL-BIT-COUNT`) + - Those counters measure the number of bits and bit errors errors after + the forward error correction (FEC) on the inner coding block + (after Viterbi, LDPC or other inner code). + + - Due to its nature, those statistics depend on full coding lock + (e. g. after ``FE_HAS_SYNC`` or after ``FE_HAS_LOCK``, + see :c:type:`fe_status`). + +Bit counts pre-FEC (:ref:`DTV-STAT-PRE-ERROR-BIT-COUNT` and :ref:`DTV-STAT-PRE-TOTAL-BIT-COUNT`) + - Those counters measure the number of bits and bit errors errors before + the forward error correction (FEC) on the inner coding block + (before Viterbi, LDPC or other inner code). + + - Not all frontends provide this kind of statistics. + + - Due to its nature, those statistics depend on inner coding lock (e. g. + after ``FE_HAS_VITERBI``, see :c:type:`fe_status`). + +Block counts (:ref:`DTV-STAT-ERROR-BLOCK-COUNT` and :ref:`DTV-STAT-TOTAL-BLOCK-COUNT`) + - Those counters measure the number of blocks and block errors errors after + the forward error correction (FEC) on the inner coding block + (before Viterbi, LDPC or other inner code). + + - Due to its nature, those statistics depend on full coding lock + (e. g. after ``FE_HAS_SYNC`` or after + ``FE_HAS_LOCK``, see :c:type:`fe_status`). + +.. note:: All counters should be monotonically increased as they're + collected from the hardware. + +A typical example of the logic that handle status and statistics is:: + + static int foo_get_status_and_stats(struct dvb_frontend *fe) + { + struct foo_state *state = fe->demodulator_priv; + struct dtv_frontend_properties *c = &fe->dtv_property_cache; + + int rc; + enum fe_status *status; + + /* Both status and strength are always available */ + rc = foo_read_status(fe, &status); + if (rc < 0) + return rc; + + rc = foo_read_strength(fe); + if (rc < 0) + return rc; + + /* Check if CNR is available */ + if (!(fe->status & FE_HAS_CARRIER)) + return 0; + + rc = foo_read_cnr(fe); + if (rc < 0) + return rc; + + /* Check if pre-BER stats are available */ + if (!(fe->status & FE_HAS_VITERBI)) + return 0; + + rc = foo_get_pre_ber(fe); + if (rc < 0) + return rc; + + /* Check if post-BER stats are available */ + if (!(fe->status & FE_HAS_SYNC)) + return 0; + + rc = foo_get_post_ber(fe); + if (rc < 0) + return rc; + } + + static const struct dvb_frontend_ops ops = { + /* ... */ + .read_status = foo_get_status_and_stats, + }; + +Statistics collection +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +On almost all frontend hardware, the bit and byte counts are stored by +the hardware after a certain amount of time or after the total bit/block +counter reaches a certain value (usually programmable), for example, on +every 1000 ms or after receiving 1,000,000 bits. + +So, if you read the registers too soon, you'll end by reading the same +value as in the previous reading, causing the monotonic value to be +incremented too often. + +Drivers should take the responsibility to avoid too often reads. That +can be done using two approaches: + +if the driver have a bit that indicates when a collected data is ready +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +Driver should check such bit before making the statistics available. + +An example of such behavior can be found at this code snippet (adapted +from mb86a20s driver's logic):: + + static int foo_get_pre_ber(struct dvb_frontend *fe) + { + struct foo_state *state = fe->demodulator_priv; + struct dtv_frontend_properties *c = &fe->dtv_property_cache; + int rc, bit_error; + + /* Check if the BER measures are already available */ + rc = foo_read_u8(state, 0x54); + if (rc < 0) + return rc; + + if (!rc) + return 0; + + /* Read Bit Error Count */ + bit_error = foo_read_u32(state, 0x55); + if (bit_error < 0) + return bit_error; + + /* Read Total Bit Count */ + rc = foo_read_u32(state, 0x51); + if (rc < 0) + return rc; + + c->pre_bit_error.stat[0].scale = FE_SCALE_COUNTER; + c->pre_bit_error.stat[0].uvalue += bit_error; + c->pre_bit_count.stat[0].scale = FE_SCALE_COUNTER; + c->pre_bit_count.stat[0].uvalue += rc; + + return 0; + } + +If the driver doesn't provide a statistics available check bit +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +A few devices, however, may not provide a way to check if the stats are +available (or the way to check it is unknown). They may not even provide +a way to directly read the total number of bits or blocks. + +On those devices, the driver need to ensure that it won't be reading from +the register too often and/or estimate the total number of bits/blocks. + +On such drivers, a typical routine to get statistics would be like +(adapted from dib8000 driver's logic):: + + struct foo_state { + /* ... */ + + unsigned long per_jiffies_stats; + } + + static int foo_get_pre_ber(struct dvb_frontend *fe) + { + struct foo_state *state = fe->demodulator_priv; + struct dtv_frontend_properties *c = &fe->dtv_property_cache; + int rc, bit_error; + u64 bits; + + /* Check if time for stats was elapsed */ + if (!time_after(jiffies, state->per_jiffies_stats)) + return 0; + + /* Next stat should be collected in 1000 ms */ + state->per_jiffies_stats = jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(1000); + + /* Read Bit Error Count */ + bit_error = foo_read_u32(state, 0x55); + if (bit_error < 0) + return bit_error; + + /* + * On this particular frontend, there's no register that + * would provide the number of bits per 1000ms sample.

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

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

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

These are +passed in the last four arguments. These values are driver specific while +control attributes like type, name, flags are all global. The control's +current value will be set to the default value. + +The :c:func:`v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu` function is very similar but it is +used for menu controls. There is no min argument since that is always 0 for +menu controls, and instead of a step there is a skip_mask argument: if bit +X is 1, then menu item X is skipped. + +The :c:func:`v4l2_ctrl_new_int_menu` function creates a new standard +integer menu control with driver-specific items in the menu. It differs +from v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu in that it doesn't have the mask argument and +takes as the last argument an array of signed 64-bit integers that form an +exact menu item list. + +The :c:func:`v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu_items` function is very similar to +v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu but takes an extra parameter qmenu, which is the +driver specific menu for an otherwise standard menu control. A good example +for this control is the test pattern control for capture/display/sensors +devices that have the capability to generate test patterns. These test +patterns are hardware specific, so the contents of the menu will vary from +device to device. + +Note that if something fails, the function will return NULL or an error and +set ctrl_handler->error to the error code. If ctrl_handler->error was already +set, then it will just return and do nothing. This is also true for +v4l2_ctrl_handler_init if it cannot allocate the internal data structure. + +This makes it easy to init the handler and just add all controls and only check +the error code at the end. Saves a lot of repetitive error checking. + +It is recommended to add controls in ascending control ID order: it will be +a bit faster that way. + +3) Optionally force initial control setup: + +.. code-block:: c + + v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup(&foo->ctrl_handler); + +This will call s_ctrl for all controls unconditionally. Effectively this +initializes the hardware to the default control values. It is recommended +that you do this as this ensures that both the internal data structures and +the hardware are in sync. + +4) Finally: implement the :c:type:`v4l2_ctrl_ops` + +.. code-block:: c + + static const struct v4l2_ctrl_ops foo_ctrl_ops = { + .s_ctrl = foo_s_ctrl, + }; + +Usually all you need is s_ctrl: + +.. code-block:: c + + static int foo_s_ctrl(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl) + { + struct foo *state = container_of(ctrl->handler, struct foo, ctrl_handler); + + switch (ctrl->id) { + case V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS: + write_reg(0x123, ctrl->val); + break; + case V4L2_CID_CONTRAST: + write_reg(0x456, ctrl->val); + break; + } + return 0; + } + +The control ops are called with the v4l2_ctrl pointer as argument. +The new control value has already been validated, so all you need to do is +to actually update the hardware registers. + +You're done! And this is sufficient for most of the drivers we have. No need +to do any validation of control values, or implement QUERYCTRL, QUERY_EXT_CTRL +and QUERYMENU. And G/S_CTRL as well as G/TRY/S_EXT_CTRLS are automatically supported. + + +.. note:: + + The remainder sections deal with more advanced controls topics and scenarios. + In practice the basic usage as described above is sufficient for most drivers. + + +Inheriting Sub-device Controls +------------------------------ + +When a sub-device is registered with a V4L2 driver by calling +v4l2_device_register_subdev() and the ctrl_handler fields of both v4l2_subdev +and v4l2_device are set, then the controls of the subdev will become +automatically available in the V4L2 driver as well. If the subdev driver +contains controls that already exist in the V4L2 driver, then those will be +skipped (so a V4L2 driver can always override a subdev control). + +What happens here is that v4l2_device_register_subdev() calls +v4l2_ctrl_add_handler() adding the controls of the subdev to the controls +of v4l2_device. + + +Accessing Control Values +------------------------ + +The following union is used inside the control framework to access control +values: + +.. code-block:: c + + union v4l2_ctrl_ptr { + s32 *p_s32; + s64 *p_s64; + char *p_char; + void *p; + }; + +The v4l2_ctrl struct contains these fields that can be used to access both +current and new values: + +.. code-block:: c + + s32 val; + struct { + s32 val; + } cur; + + + union v4l2_ctrl_ptr p_new; + union v4l2_ctrl_ptr p_cur; + +If the control has a simple s32 type type, then: + +.. code-block:: c + + &ctrl->val == ctrl->p_new.p_s32 + &ctrl->cur.val == ctrl->p_cur.p_s32 + +For all other types use ctrl->p_cur.p<something>. Basically the val +and cur.val fields can be considered an alias since these are used so often. + +Within the control ops you can freely use these. The val and cur.val speak for +themselves. The p_char pointers point to character buffers of length +ctrl->maximum + 1, and are always 0-terminated. + +Unless the control is marked volatile the p_cur field points to the the +current cached control value. When you create a new control this value is made +identical to the default value. After calling v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup() this +value is passed to the hardware. It is generally a good idea to call this +function. + +Whenever a new value is set that new value is automatically cached. This means +that most drivers do not need to implement the g_volatile_ctrl() op. The +exception is for controls that return a volatile register such as a signal +strength read-out that changes continuously. In that case you will need to +implement g_volatile_ctrl like this: + +.. code-block:: c + + static int foo_g_volatile_ctrl(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl) + { + switch (ctrl->id) { + case V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS: + ctrl->val = read_reg(0x123); + break; + } + } + +Note that you use the 'new value' union as well in g_volatile_ctrl. In general +controls that need to implement g_volatile_ctrl are read-only controls. If they +are not, a V4L2_EVENT_CTRL_CH_VALUE will not be generated when the control +changes. + +To mark a control as volatile you have to set V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_VOLATILE: + +.. code-block:: c + + ctrl = v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&sd->ctrl_handler, ...); + if (ctrl) + ctrl->flags |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_VOLATILE; + +For try/s_ctrl the new values (i.e. as passed by the user) are filled in and +you can modify them in try_ctrl or set them in s_ctrl. The 'cur' union +contains the current value, which you can use (but not change!) as well. + +If s_ctrl returns 0 (OK), then the control framework will copy the new final +values to the 'cur' union. + +While in g_volatile/s/try_ctrl you can access the value of all controls owned +by the same handler since the handler's lock is held. If you need to access +the value of controls owned by other handlers, then you have to be very careful +not to introduce deadlocks. + +Outside of the control ops you have to go through to helper functions to get +or set a single control value safely in your driver: + +.. code-block:: c + + s32 v4l2_ctrl_g_ctrl(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl); + int v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl, s32 val); + +These functions go through the control framework just as VIDIOC_G/S_CTRL ioctls +do. Don't use these inside the control ops g_volatile/s/try_ctrl, though, that +will result in a deadlock since these helpers lock the handler as well. + +You can also take the handler lock yourself: + +.. code-block:: c + + mutex_lock(&state->ctrl_handler.lock); + pr_info("String value is '%s'\n", ctrl1->p_cur.p_char); + pr_info("Integer value is '%s'\n", ctrl2->cur.val); + mutex_unlock(&state->ctrl_handler.lock); + + +Menu Controls +------------- + +The v4l2_ctrl struct contains this union: + +.. code-block:: c + + union { + u32 step; + u32 menu_skip_mask; + }; + +For menu controls menu_skip_mask is used. What it does is that it allows you +to easily exclude certain menu items. This is used in the VIDIOC_QUERYMENU +implementation where you can return -EINVAL if a certain menu item is not +present. Note that VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL always returns a step value of 1 for +menu controls. + +A good example is the MPEG Audio Layer II Bitrate menu control where the +menu is a list of standardized possible bitrates. But in practice hardware +implementations will only support a subset of those. By setting the skip +mask you can tell the framework which menu items should be skipped. Setting +it to 0 means that all menu items are supported. + +You set this mask either through the v4l2_ctrl_config struct for a custom +control, or by calling v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu(). + + +Custom Controls +--------------- + +Driver specific controls can be created using v4l2_ctrl_new_custom(): + +.. code-block:: c + + static const struct v4l2_ctrl_config ctrl_filter = { + .ops = &ctrl_custom_ops, + .id = V4L2_CID_MPEG_CX2341X_VIDEO_SPATIAL_FILTER, + .name = "Spatial Filter", + .type = V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_INTEGER, + .flags = V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_SLIDER, + .max = 15, + .step = 1, + }; + + ctrl = v4l2_ctrl_new_custom(&foo->ctrl_handler, &ctrl_filter, NULL); + +The last argument is the priv pointer which can be set to driver-specific +private data. + +The v4l2_ctrl_config struct also has a field to set the is_private flag. + +If the name field is not set, then the framework will assume this is a standard +control and will fill in the name, type and flags fields accordingly. + + +Active and Grabbed Controls +--------------------------- + +If you get more complex relationships between controls, then you may have to +activate and deactivate controls. For example, if the Chroma AGC control is +on, then the Chroma Gain control is inactive. That is, you may set it, but +the value will not be used by the hardware as long as the automatic gain +control is on. Typically user interfaces can disable such input fields. + +You can set the 'active' status using v4l2_ctrl_activate(). By default all +controls are active. Note that the framework does not check for this flag. +It is meant purely for GUIs. The function is typically called from within +s_ctrl. + +The other flag is the 'grabbed' flag. A grabbed control means that you cannot +change it because it is in use by some resource. Typical examples are MPEG +bitrate controls that cannot be changed while capturing is in progress. + +If a control is set to 'grabbed' using v4l2_ctrl_grab(), then the framework +will return -EBUSY if an attempt is made to set this control. The +v4l2_ctrl_grab() function is typically called from the driver when it +starts or stops streaming. + + +Control Clusters +---------------- + +By default all controls are independent from the others. But in more +complex scenarios you can get dependencies from one control to another. +In that case you need to 'cluster' them: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct foo { + struct v4l2_ctrl_handler ctrl_handler; + #define AUDIO_CL_VOLUME (0) + #define AUDIO_CL_MUTE (1) + struct v4l2_ctrl *audio_cluster[2]; + ... + }; + + state->audio_cluster[AUDIO_CL_VOLUME] = + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&state->ctrl_handler, ...); + state->audio_cluster[AUDIO_CL_MUTE] = + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&state->ctrl_handler, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_cluster(ARRAY_SIZE(state->audio_cluster), state->audio_cluster); + +From now on whenever one or more of the controls belonging to the same +cluster is set (or 'gotten', or 'tried'), only the control ops of the first +control ('volume' in this example) is called. You effectively create a new +composite control. Similar to how a 'struct' works in C. + +So when s_ctrl is called with V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME as argument, you should set +all two controls belonging to the audio_cluster: + +.. code-block:: c + + static int foo_s_ctrl(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl) + { + struct foo *state = container_of(ctrl->handler, struct foo, ctrl_handler); + + switch (ctrl->id) { + case V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME: { + struct v4l2_ctrl *mute = ctrl->cluster[AUDIO_CL_MUTE]; + + write_reg(0x123, mute->val ? 0 : ctrl->val); + break; + } + case V4L2_CID_CONTRAST: + write_reg(0x456, ctrl->val); + break; + } + return 0; + } + +In the example above the following are equivalent for the VOLUME case: + +.. code-block:: c + + ctrl == ctrl->cluster[AUDIO_CL_VOLUME] == state->audio_cluster[AUDIO_CL_VOLUME] + ctrl->cluster[AUDIO_CL_MUTE] == state->audio_cluster[AUDIO_CL_MUTE] + +In practice using cluster arrays like this becomes very tiresome. So instead +the following equivalent method is used: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct { + /* audio cluster */ + struct v4l2_ctrl *volume; + struct v4l2_ctrl *mute; + }; + +The anonymous struct is used to clearly 'cluster' these two control pointers, +but it serves no other purpose. The effect is the same as creating an +array with two control pointers. So you can just do: + +.. code-block:: c + + state->volume = v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&state->ctrl_handler, ...); + state->mute = v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&state->ctrl_handler, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_cluster(2, &state->volume); + +And in foo_s_ctrl you can use these pointers directly: state->mute->val. + +Note that controls in a cluster may be NULL. For example, if for some +reason mute was never added (because the hardware doesn't support that +particular feature), then mute will be NULL. So in that case we have a +cluster of 2 controls, of which only 1 is actually instantiated. The +only restriction is that the first control of the cluster must always be +present, since that is the 'master' control of the cluster. The master +control is the one that identifies the cluster and that provides the +pointer to the v4l2_ctrl_ops struct that is used for that cluster. + +Obviously, all controls in the cluster array must be initialized to either +a valid control or to NULL. + +In rare cases you might want to know which controls of a cluster actually +were set explicitly by the user. For this you can check the 'is_new' flag of +each control. For example, in the case of a volume/mute cluster the 'is_new' +flag of the mute control would be set if the user called VIDIOC_S_CTRL for +mute only. If the user would call VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS for both mute and volume +controls, then the 'is_new' flag would be 1 for both controls. + +The 'is_new' flag is always 1 when called from v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup(). + + +Handling autogain/gain-type Controls with Auto Clusters +------------------------------------------------------- + +A common type of control cluster is one that handles 'auto-foo/foo'-type +controls. Typical examples are autogain/gain, autoexposure/exposure, +autowhitebalance/red balance/blue balance. In all cases you have one control +that determines whether another control is handled automatically by the hardware, +or whether it is under manual control from the user. + +If the cluster is in automatic mode, then the manual controls should be +marked inactive and volatile. When the volatile controls are read the +g_volatile_ctrl operation should return the value that the hardware's automatic +mode set up automatically. + +If the cluster is put in manual mode, then the manual controls should become +active again and the volatile flag is cleared (so g_volatile_ctrl is no longer +called while in manual mode). In addition just before switching to manual mode +the current values as determined by the auto mode are copied as the new manual +values. + +Finally the V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_UPDATE should be set for the auto control since +changing that control affects the control flags of the manual controls. + +In order to simplify this a special variation of v4l2_ctrl_cluster was +introduced: + +.. code-block:: c + + void v4l2_ctrl_auto_cluster(unsigned ncontrols, struct v4l2_ctrl **controls, + u8 manual_val, bool set_volatile); + +The first two arguments are identical to v4l2_ctrl_cluster. The third argument +tells the framework which value switches the cluster into manual mode. The +last argument will optionally set V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_VOLATILE for the non-auto controls. +If it is false, then the manual controls are never volatile. You would typically +use that if the hardware does not give you the option to read back to values as +determined by the auto mode (e.g. if autogain is on, the hardware doesn't allow +you to obtain the current gain value). + +The first control of the cluster is assumed to be the 'auto' control. + +Using this function will ensure that you don't need to handle all the complex +flag and volatile handling. + + +VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS Support +------------------------- + +This ioctl allow you to dump the current status of a driver to the kernel log. +The v4l2_ctrl_handler_log_status(ctrl_handler, prefix) can be used to dump the +value of the controls owned by the given handler to the log. You can supply a +prefix as well. If the prefix didn't end with a space, then ': ' will be added +for you. + + +Different Handlers for Different Video Nodes +-------------------------------------------- + +Usually the V4L2 driver has just one control handler that is global for +all video nodes. But you can also specify different control handlers for +different video nodes. You can do that by manually setting the ctrl_handler +field of struct video_device. + +That is no problem if there are no subdevs involved but if there are, then +you need to block the automatic merging of subdev controls to the global +control handler. You do that by simply setting the ctrl_handler field in +struct v4l2_device to NULL. Now v4l2_device_register_subdev() will no longer +merge subdev controls. + +After each subdev was added, you will then have to call v4l2_ctrl_add_handler +manually to add the subdev's control handler (sd->ctrl_handler) to the desired +control handler. This control handler may be specific to the video_device or +for a subset of video_device's. For example: the radio device nodes only have +audio controls, while the video and vbi device nodes share the same control +handler for the audio and video controls. + +If you want to have one handler (e.g. for a radio device node) have a subset +of another handler (e.g. for a video device node), then you should first add +the controls to the first handler, add the other controls to the second +handler and finally add the first handler to the second. For example: + +.. code-block:: c + + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&radio_ctrl_handler, &radio_ops, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&radio_ctrl_handler, &radio_ops, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_MUTE, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &video_ops, V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &video_ops, V4L2_CID_CONTRAST, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_add_handler(&video_ctrl_handler, &radio_ctrl_handler, NULL); + +The last argument to v4l2_ctrl_add_handler() is a filter function that allows +you to filter which controls will be added. Set it to NULL if you want to add +all controls. + +Or you can add specific controls to a handler: + +.. code-block:: c + + volume = v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &ops, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &ops, V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &ops, V4L2_CID_CONTRAST, ...); + +What you should not do is make two identical controls for two handlers. +For example: + +.. code-block:: c + + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&radio_ctrl_handler, &radio_ops, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_MUTE, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &video_ops, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_MUTE, ...); + +This would be bad since muting the radio would not change the video mute +control. The rule is to have one control for each hardware 'knob' that you +can twiddle. + + +Finding Controls +---------------- + +Normally you have created the controls yourself and you can store the struct +v4l2_ctrl pointer into your own struct. + +But sometimes you need to find a control from another handler that you do +not own. For example, if you have to find a volume control from a subdev. + +You can do that by calling v4l2_ctrl_find: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct v4l2_ctrl *volume; + + volume = v4l2_ctrl_find(sd->ctrl_handler, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME); + +Since v4l2_ctrl_find will lock the handler you have to be careful where you +use it. For example, this is not a good idea: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct v4l2_ctrl_handler ctrl_handler; + + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&ctrl_handler, &video_ops, V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS, ...); + v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&ctrl_handler, &video_ops, V4L2_CID_CONTRAST, ...); + +...and in video_ops.s_ctrl: + +.. code-block:: c + + case V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS: + contrast = v4l2_find_ctrl(&ctrl_handler, V4L2_CID_CONTRAST); + ... + +When s_ctrl is called by the framework the ctrl_handler.lock is already taken, so +attempting to find another control from the same handler will deadlock. + +It is recommended not to use this function from inside the control ops. + + +Preventing Controls inheritance +------------------------------- + +When one control handler is added to another using v4l2_ctrl_add_handler, then +by default all controls from one are merged to the other. But a subdev might +have low-level controls that make sense for some advanced embedded system, but +not when it is used in consumer-level hardware. In that case you want to keep +those low-level controls local to the subdev. You can do this by simply +setting the 'is_private' flag of the control to 1: + +.. code-block:: c + + static const struct v4l2_ctrl_config ctrl_private = { + .ops = &ctrl_custom_ops, + .id = V4L2_CID_..., + .name = "Some Private Control", + .type = V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_INTEGER, + .max = 15, + .step = 1, + .is_private = 1, + }; + + ctrl = v4l2_ctrl_new_custom(&foo->ctrl_handler, &ctrl_private, NULL); + +These controls will now be skipped when v4l2_ctrl_add_handler is called. + + +V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_CTRL_CLASS Controls +---------------------------------- + +Controls of this type can be used by GUIs to get the name of the control class. +A fully featured GUI can make a dialog with multiple tabs with each tab +containing the controls belonging to a particular control class. The name of +each tab can be found by querying a special control with ID <control class | 1>. + +Drivers do not have to care about this. The framework will automatically add +a control of this type whenever the first control belonging to a new control +class is added. + + +Adding Notify Callbacks +----------------------- + +Sometimes the platform or bridge driver needs to be notified when a control +from a sub-device driver changes. You can set a notify callback by calling +this function: + +.. code-block:: c + + void v4l2_ctrl_notify(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl, + void (*notify)(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl, void *priv), void *priv); + +Whenever the give control changes value the notify callback will be called +with a pointer to the control and the priv pointer that was passed with +v4l2_ctrl_notify. Note that the control's handler lock is held when the +notify function is called. + +There can be only one notify function per control handler. Any attempt +to set another notify function will cause a WARN_ON. + +v4l2_ctrl functions and data structures +--------------------------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: include/media/v4l2-ctrls.h diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-core.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-core.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..0dcad7a23141 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-core.rst @@ -0,0 +1,29 @@ +..

The :c:type:`video_device`->vfl_type and + :c:type:`video_device`->vfl_dir fields are used to disable ops that do not + match the type/dir combination. E.g. VBI ops are disabled for non-VBI nodes, + and output ops are disabled for a capture device. This makes it possible to + provide just one :c:type:`v4l2_ioctl_ops` struct for both vbi and + video nodes. + +- :c:type:`video_device`->lock: leave to ``NULL`` if you want to do all the + locking in the driver.

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

This is achieved by a +``dev_set_drvdata()`` call before registering the V4L2 device instance. +They must also set the struct :c:type:`v4l2_device` mdev field to point to a +properly initialized and registered :c:type:`media_device` instance. + +If :c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`\ ->name is empty then it will be set to a +value derived from dev (driver name followed by the bus_id, to be precise). +If you set it up before calling :c:func:`v4l2_device_register` then it will +be untouched. If dev is ``NULL``, then you **must** setup +:c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`\ ->name before calling +:c:func:`v4l2_device_register`. + +You can use :c:func:`v4l2_device_set_name` to set the name based on a driver +name and a driver-global atomic_t instance. This will generate names like +``ivtv0``, ``ivtv1``, etc. If the name ends with a digit, then it will insert +a dash: ``cx18-0``, ``cx18-1``, etc. This function returns the instance number. + +The first ``dev`` argument is normally the ``struct device`` pointer of a +``pci_dev``, ``usb_interface`` or ``platform_device``. It is rare for dev to +be ``NULL``, but it happens with ISA devices or when one device creates +multiple PCI devices, thus making it impossible to associate +:c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>` with a particular parent. + +You can also supply a ``notify()`` callback that can be called by sub-devices +to notify you of events. Whether you need to set this depends on the +sub-device. Any notifications a sub-device supports must be defined in a header +in ``include/media/subdevice.h``. + +V4L2 devices are unregistered by calling: + + :c:func:`v4l2_device_unregister` + (:c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`). + +If the dev->driver_data field points to :c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`, +it will be reset to ``NULL``. Unregistering will also automatically unregister +all subdevs from the device. + +If you have a hotpluggable device (e.g. a USB device), then when a disconnect +happens the parent device becomes invalid.

If your driver is not +hotpluggable, then there is no need to call :c:func:`v4l2_device_disconnect`. + +Sometimes you need to iterate over all devices registered by a specific +driver. This is usually the case if multiple device drivers use the same +hardware. E.g. the ivtvfb driver is a framebuffer driver that uses the ivtv +hardware. The same is true for alsa drivers for example. + +You can iterate over all registered devices as follows: + +.. code-block:: c + + static int callback(struct device *dev, void *p) + { + struct v4l2_device *v4l2_dev = dev_get_drvdata(dev); + + /* test if this device was inited */ + if (v4l2_dev == NULL) + return 0; + ... + return 0; + } + + int iterate(void *p) + { + struct device_driver *drv; + int err; + + /* Find driver 'ivtv' on the PCI bus. + pci_bus_type is a global.

This is +commonly used to map a device instance to an index of a module option array. + +The recommended approach is as follows: + +.. code-block:: c + + static atomic_t drv_instance = ATOMIC_INIT(0); + + static int drv_probe(struct pci_dev *pdev, const struct pci_device_id *pci_id) + { + ... + state->instance = atomic_inc_return(&drv_instance) - 1; + } + +If you have multiple device nodes then it can be difficult to know when it is +safe to unregister :c:type:`v4l2_device` for hotpluggable devices.

Such devices are +called 'sub-devices'. + +For a long time the framework was limited to the video_device struct for +creating V4L device nodes and video_buf for handling the video buffers +(note that this document does not discuss the video_buf framework). + +This meant that all drivers had to do the setup of device instances and +connecting to sub-devices themselves. Some of this is quite complicated +to do right and many drivers never did do it correctly. + +There is also a lot of common code that could never be refactored due to +the lack of a framework. + +So this framework sets up the basic building blocks that all drivers +need and this same framework should make it much easier to refactor +common code into utility functions shared by all drivers. + +A good example to look at as a reference is the v4l2-pci-skeleton.c +source that is available in samples/v4l/.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +V4L2 sub-devices +---------------- + +Many drivers need to communicate with sub-devices. These devices can do all +sort of tasks, but most commonly they handle audio and/or video muxing, +encoding or decoding. For webcams common sub-devices are sensors and camera +controllers. + +Usually these are I2C devices, but not necessarily. In order to provide the +driver with a consistent interface to these sub-devices the +:c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct (v4l2-subdev.h) was created. + +Each sub-device driver must have a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct. This struct +can be stand-alone for simple sub-devices or it might be embedded in a larger +struct if more state information needs to be stored. Usually there is a +low-level device struct (e.g. ``i2c_client``) that contains the device data as +setup by the kernel. It is recommended to store that pointer in the private +data of :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` using :c:func:`v4l2_set_subdevdata`. That makes +it easy to go from a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` to the actual low-level bus-specific +device data. + +You also need a way to go from the low-level struct to :c:type:`v4l2_subdev`. +For the common i2c_client struct the i2c_set_clientdata() call is used to store +a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` pointer, for other buses you may have to use other +methods. + +Bridges might also need to store per-subdev private data, such as a pointer to +bridge-specific per-subdev private data. The :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` structure +provides host private data for that purpose that can be accessed with +:c:func:`v4l2_get_subdev_hostdata` and :c:func:`v4l2_set_subdev_hostdata`. + +From the bridge driver perspective, you load the sub-device module and somehow +obtain the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` pointer. For i2c devices this is easy: you call +``i2c_get_clientdata()``. For other buses something similar needs to be done. +Helper functions exists for sub-devices on an I2C bus that do most of this +tricky work for you. + +Each :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` contains function pointers that sub-device drivers +can implement (or leave ``NULL`` if it is not applicable). Since sub-devices can +do so many different things and you do not want to end up with a huge ops struct +of which only a handful of ops are commonly implemented, the function pointers +are sorted according to category and each category has its own ops struct. + +The top-level ops struct contains pointers to the category ops structs, which +may be NULL if the subdev driver does not support anything from that category. + +It looks like this: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct v4l2_subdev_core_ops { + int (*log_status)(struct v4l2_subdev *sd); + int (*init)(struct v4l2_subdev *sd, u32 val); + ... + }; + + struct v4l2_subdev_tuner_ops { + ... + }; + + struct v4l2_subdev_audio_ops { + ... + }; + + struct v4l2_subdev_video_ops { + ... + }; + + struct v4l2_subdev_pad_ops { + ... + }; + + struct v4l2_subdev_ops { + const struct v4l2_subdev_core_ops *core; + const struct v4l2_subdev_tuner_ops *tuner; + const struct v4l2_subdev_audio_ops *audio; + const struct v4l2_subdev_video_ops *video; + const struct v4l2_subdev_pad_ops *video; + }; + +The core ops are common to all subdevs, the other categories are implemented +depending on the sub-device. E.g. a video device is unlikely to support the +audio ops and vice versa. + +This setup limits the number of function pointers while still making it easy +to add new ops and categories. + +A sub-device driver initializes the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct using: + + :c:func:`v4l2_subdev_init <v4l2_subdev_init>` + (:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`, &\ :c:type:`ops <v4l2_subdev_ops>`). + + +Afterwards you need to initialize :c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->name with a +unique name and set the module owner. This is done for you if you use the +i2c helper functions. + +If integration with the media framework is needed, you must initialize the +:c:type:`media_entity` struct embedded in the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct +(entity field) by calling :c:func:`media_entity_pads_init`, if the entity has +pads: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct media_pad *pads = &my_sd->pads; + int err; + + err = media_entity_pads_init(&sd->entity, npads, pads); + +The pads array must have been previously initialized. There is no need to +manually set the struct :c:type:`media_entity` function and name fields, but the +revision field must be initialized if needed. + +A reference to the entity will be automatically acquired/released when the +subdev device node (if any) is opened/closed. + +Don't forget to cleanup the media entity before the sub-device is destroyed: + +.. code-block:: c + + media_entity_cleanup(&sd->entity); + +If the subdev driver intends to process video and integrate with the media +framework, it must implement format related functionality using +:c:type:`v4l2_subdev_pad_ops` instead of :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_video_ops`. + +In that case, the subdev driver may set the link_validate field to provide +its own link validation function. The link validation function is called for +every link in the pipeline where both of the ends of the links are V4L2 +sub-devices. The driver is still responsible for validating the correctness +of the format configuration between sub-devices and video nodes. + +If link_validate op is not set, the default function +:c:func:`v4l2_subdev_link_validate_default` is used instead. This function +ensures that width, height and the media bus pixel code are equal on both source +and sink of the link. Subdev drivers are also free to use this function to +perform the checks mentioned above in addition to their own checks. + +There are currently two ways to register subdevices with the V4L2 core. The +first (traditional) possibility is to have subdevices registered by bridge +drivers. This can be done when the bridge driver has the complete information +about subdevices connected to it and knows exactly when to register them. This +is typically the case for internal subdevices, like video data processing units +within SoCs or complex PCI(e) boards, camera sensors in USB cameras or connected +to SoCs, which pass information about them to bridge drivers, usually in their +platform data. + +There are however also situations where subdevices have to be registered +asynchronously to bridge devices. An example of such a configuration is a Device +Tree based system where information about subdevices is made available to the +system independently from the bridge devices, e.g. when subdevices are defined +in DT as I2C device nodes. The API used in this second case is described further +below. + +Using one or the other registration method only affects the probing process, the +run-time bridge-subdevice interaction is in both cases the same. + +In the synchronous case a device (bridge) driver needs to register the +:c:type:`v4l2_subdev` with the v4l2_device: + + :c:func:`v4l2_device_register_subdev <v4l2_device_register_subdev>` + (:c:type:`v4l2_dev <v4l2_device>`, :c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`). + +This can fail if the subdev module disappeared before it could be registered. +After this function was called successfully the subdev->dev field points to +the :c:type:`v4l2_device`. + +If the v4l2_device parent device has a non-NULL mdev field, the sub-device +entity will be automatically registered with the media device. + +You can unregister a sub-device using: + + :c:func:`v4l2_device_unregister_subdev <v4l2_device_unregister_subdev>` + (:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`). + + +Afterwards the subdev module can be unloaded and +:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->dev == ``NULL``. + +You can call an ops function either directly: + +.. code-block:: c + + err = sd->ops->core->g_std(sd, &norm); + +but it is better and easier to use this macro: + +.. code-block:: c + + err = v4l2_subdev_call(sd, core, g_std, &norm); + +The macro will to the right ``NULL`` pointer checks and returns ``-ENODEV`` +if :c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>` is ``NULL``, ``-ENOIOCTLCMD`` if either +:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->core or :c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->core->g_std is ``NULL``, or the actual result of the +:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->ops->core->g_std ops. + +It is also possible to call all or a subset of the sub-devices: + +.. code-block:: c + + v4l2_device_call_all(v4l2_dev, 0, core, g_std, &norm); + +Any subdev that does not support this ops is skipped and error results are +ignored. If you want to check for errors use this: + +.. code-block:: c + + err = v4l2_device_call_until_err(v4l2_dev, 0, core, g_std, &norm); + +Any error except ``-ENOIOCTLCMD`` will exit the loop with that error. If no +errors (except ``-ENOIOCTLCMD``) occurred, then 0 is returned. + +The second argument to both calls is a group ID. If 0, then all subdevs are +called. If non-zero, then only those whose group ID match that value will +be called. Before a bridge driver registers a subdev it can set +:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`->grp_id to whatever value it wants (it's 0 by +default). This value is owned by the bridge driver and the sub-device driver +will never modify or use it. + +The group ID gives the bridge driver more control how callbacks are called. +For example, there may be multiple audio chips on a board, each capable of +changing the volume. But usually only one will actually be used when the +user want to change the volume. You can set the group ID for that subdev to +e.g. AUDIO_CONTROLLER and specify that as the group ID value when calling +``v4l2_device_call_all()``. That ensures that it will only go to the subdev +that needs it. + +If the sub-device needs to notify its v4l2_device parent of an event, then +it can call ``v4l2_subdev_notify(sd, notification, arg)``. This macro checks +whether there is a ``notify()`` callback defined and returns ``-ENODEV`` if not. +Otherwise the result of the ``notify()`` call is returned. + +The advantage of using :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` is that it is a generic struct and +does not contain any knowledge about the underlying hardware. So a driver might +contain several subdevs that use an I2C bus, but also a subdev that is +controlled through GPIO pins. This distinction is only relevant when setting +up the device, but once the subdev is registered it is completely transparent. + +In the asynchronous case subdevice probing can be invoked independently of the +bridge driver availability. The subdevice driver then has to verify whether all +the requirements for a successful probing are satisfied. This can include a +check for a master clock availability. If any of the conditions aren't satisfied +the driver might decide to return ``-EPROBE_DEFER`` to request further reprobing +attempts. Once all conditions are met the subdevice shall be registered using +the :c:func:`v4l2_async_register_subdev` function. Unregistration is +performed using the :c:func:`v4l2_async_unregister_subdev` call. Subdevices +registered this way are stored in a global list of subdevices, ready to be +picked up by bridge drivers. + +Bridge drivers in turn have to register a notifier object. This is +performed using the :c:func:`v4l2_async_notifier_register` call. To +unregister the notifier the driver has to call +:c:func:`v4l2_async_notifier_unregister`. The former of the two functions +takes two arguments: a pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_device` and a +pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_async_notifier`. + +Before registering the notifier, bridge drivers must do two things: +first, the notifier must be initialized using the +:c:func:`v4l2_async_notifier_init`. Second, bridge drivers can then +begin to form a list of subdevice descriptors that the bridge device +needs for its operation. Subdevice descriptors are added to the notifier +using the :c:func:`v4l2_async_notifier_add_subdev` call. This function +takes two arguments: a pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_async_notifier`, +and a pointer to the subdevice descripter, which is of type struct +:c:type:`v4l2_async_subdev`. + +The V4L2 core will then use these descriptors to match asynchronously +registered subdevices to them. If a match is detected the ``.bound()`` +notifier callback is called. After all subdevices have been located the +.complete() callback is called. When a subdevice is removed from the +system the .unbind() method is called. All three callbacks are optional. + +V4L2 sub-device userspace API +----------------------------- + +Bridge drivers traditionally expose one or multiple video nodes to userspace, +and control subdevices through the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_ops` operations in +response to video node operations. This hides the complexity of the underlying +hardware from applications. For complex devices, finer-grained control of the +device than what the video nodes offer may be required. In those cases, bridge +drivers that implement :ref:`the media controller API <media_controller>` may +opt for making the subdevice operations directly accessible from userpace. + +Device nodes named ``v4l-subdev``\ *X* can be created in ``/dev`` to access +sub-devices directly. If a sub-device supports direct userspace configuration +it must set the ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_HAS_DEVNODE`` flag before being registered. + +After registering sub-devices, the :c:type:`v4l2_device` driver can create +device nodes for all registered sub-devices marked with +``V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_HAS_DEVNODE`` by calling +:c:func:`v4l2_device_register_subdev_nodes`. Those device nodes will be +automatically removed when sub-devices are unregistered. + +The device node handles a subset of the V4L2 API. + +``VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL``, +``VIDIOC_QUERYMENU``, +``VIDIOC_G_CTRL``, +``VIDIOC_S_CTRL``, +``VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS``, +``VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS`` and +``VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS``: + + The controls ioctls are identical to the ones defined in V4L2. They + behave identically, with the only exception that they deal only with + controls implemented in the sub-device. Depending on the driver, those + controls can be also be accessed through one (or several) V4L2 device + nodes. + +``VIDIOC_DQEVENT``, +``VIDIOC_SUBSCRIBE_EVENT`` and +``VIDIOC_UNSUBSCRIBE_EVENT`` + + The events ioctls are identical to the ones defined in V4L2. They + behave identically, with the only exception that they deal only with + events generated by the sub-device. Depending on the driver, those + events can also be reported by one (or several) V4L2 device nodes. + + Sub-device drivers that want to use events need to set the + ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_HAS_EVENTS`` :c:type:`v4l2_subdev`.flags before registering + the sub-device. After registration events can be queued as usual on the + :c:type:`v4l2_subdev`.devnode device node. + + To properly support events, the ``poll()`` file operation is also + implemented. + +Private ioctls + + All ioctls not in the above list are passed directly to the sub-device + driver through the core::ioctl operation. + +Read-only sub-device userspace API +---------------------------------- + +Bridge drivers that control their connected subdevices through direct calls to +the kernel API realized by :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_ops` structure do not usually +want userspace to be able to change the same parameters through the subdevice +device node and thus do not usually register any. + +It is sometimes useful to report to userspace the current subdevice +configuration through a read-only API, that does not permit applications to +change to the device parameters but allows interfacing to the subdevice device +node to inspect them. + +For instance, to implement cameras based on computational photography, userspace +needs to know the detailed camera sensor configuration (in terms of skipping, +binning, cropping and scaling) for each supported output resolution. To support +such use cases, bridge drivers may expose the subdevice operations to userspace +through a read-only API. + +To create a read-only device node for all the subdevices registered with the +``V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_HAS_DEVNODE`` set, the :c:type:`v4l2_device` driver should call +:c:func:`v4l2_device_register_ro_subdev_nodes`. + +Access to the following ioctls for userspace applications is restricted on +sub-device device nodes registered with +:c:func:`v4l2_device_register_ro_subdev_nodes`. + +``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT``, +``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP``, +``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION``: + + These ioctls are only allowed on a read-only subdevice device node + for the :ref:`V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY <v4l2-subdev-format-whence>` + formats and selection rectangles. + +``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FRAME_INTERVAL``, +``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_DV_TIMINGS``, +``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_STD``: + + These ioctls are not allowed on a read-only subdevice node. + +In case the ioctl is not allowed, or the format to modify is set to +``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE``, the core returns a negative error code and +the errno variable is set to ``-EPERM``. + +I2C sub-device drivers +---------------------- + +Since these drivers are so common, special helper functions are available to +ease the use of these drivers (``v4l2-common.h``). + +The recommended method of adding :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` support to an I2C driver +is to embed the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct into the state struct that is +created for each I2C device instance. Very simple devices have no state +struct and in that case you can just create a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` directly. + +A typical state struct would look like this (where 'chipname' is replaced by +the name of the chip): + +.. code-block:: c + + struct chipname_state { + struct v4l2_subdev sd; + ... /* additional state fields */ + }; + +Initialize the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct as follows: + +.. code-block:: c + + v4l2_i2c_subdev_init(&state->sd, client, subdev_ops); + +This function will fill in all the fields of :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` ensure that +the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` and i2c_client both point to one another. + +You should also add a helper inline function to go from a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` +pointer to a chipname_state struct: + +.. code-block:: c + + static inline struct chipname_state *to_state(struct v4l2_subdev *sd) + { + return container_of(sd, struct chipname_state, sd); + } + +Use this to go from the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct to the ``i2c_client`` +struct: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct i2c_client *client = v4l2_get_subdevdata(sd); + +And this to go from an ``i2c_client`` to a :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` struct: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct v4l2_subdev *sd = i2c_get_clientdata(client); + +Make sure to call +:c:func:`v4l2_device_unregister_subdev`\ (:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`) +when the ``remove()`` callback is called. This will unregister the sub-device +from the bridge driver. It is safe to call this even if the sub-device was +never registered. + +You need to do this because when the bridge driver destroys the i2c adapter +the ``remove()`` callbacks are called of the i2c devices on that adapter. +After that the corresponding v4l2_subdev structures are invalid, so they +have to be unregistered first. Calling +:c:func:`v4l2_device_unregister_subdev`\ (:c:type:`sd <v4l2_subdev>`) +from the ``remove()`` callback ensures that this is always done correctly. + + +The bridge driver also has some helper functions it can use: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct v4l2_subdev *sd = v4l2_i2c_new_subdev(v4l2_dev, adapter, + "module_foo", "chipid", 0x36, NULL); + +This loads the given module (can be ``NULL`` if no module needs to be loaded) +and calls :c:func:`i2c_new_client_device` with the given ``i2c_adapter`` and +chip/address arguments. If all goes well, then it registers the subdev with +the v4l2_device. + +You can also use the last argument of :c:func:`v4l2_i2c_new_subdev` to pass +an array of possible I2C addresses that it should probe. These probe addresses +are only used if the previous argument is 0. A non-zero argument means that you +know the exact i2c address so in that case no probing will take place. + +Both functions return ``NULL`` if something went wrong. + +Note that the chipid you pass to :c:func:`v4l2_i2c_new_subdev` is usually +the same as the module name. It allows you to specify a chip variant, e.g. +"saa7114" or "saa7115". In general though the i2c driver autodetects this. +The use of chipid is something that needs to be looked at more closely at a +later date. It differs between i2c drivers and as such can be confusing. +To see which chip variants are supported you can look in the i2c driver code +for the i2c_device_id table. This lists all the possibilities. + +There are one more helper function: + +:c:func:`v4l2_i2c_new_subdev_board` uses an :c:type:`i2c_board_info` struct +which is passed to the i2c driver and replaces the irq, platform_data and addr +arguments. + +If the subdev supports the s_config core ops, then that op is called with +the irq and platform_data arguments after the subdev was setup. + +The :c:func:`v4l2_i2c_new_subdev` function will call +:c:func:`v4l2_i2c_new_subdev_board`, internally filling a +:c:type:`i2c_board_info` structure using the ``client_type`` and the +``addr`` to fill it. + +V4L2 sub-device functions and data structures +--------------------------------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: include/media/v4l2-subdev.h + +.. kernel-doc:: include/media/v4l2-async.h diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-tuner.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-tuner.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..e6caa3321566 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-tuner.rst @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +..

Shouldn't + be used on new drivers. + +Introduction +------------ + +The videobuf layer functions as a sort of glue layer between a V4L2 driver +and user space. It handles the allocation and management of buffers for +the storage of video frames. There is a set of functions which can be used +to implement many of the standard POSIX I/O system calls, including read(), +poll(), and, happily, mmap(). Another set of functions can be used to +implement the bulk of the V4L2 ioctl() calls related to streaming I/O, +including buffer allocation, queueing and dequeueing, and streaming +control. Using videobuf imposes a few design decisions on the driver +author, but the payback comes in the form of reduced code in the driver and +a consistent implementation of the V4L2 user-space API. + +Buffer types +------------ + +Not all video devices use the same kind of buffers. In fact, there are (at +least) three common variations: + + - Buffers which are scattered in both the physical and (kernel) virtual + address spaces. (Almost) all user-space buffers are like this, but it + makes great sense to allocate kernel-space buffers this way as well when + it is possible. Unfortunately, it is not always possible; working with + this kind of buffer normally requires hardware which can do + scatter/gather DMA operations. + + - Buffers which are physically scattered, but which are virtually + contiguous; buffers allocated with vmalloc(), in other words. These + buffers are just as hard to use for DMA operations, but they can be + useful in situations where DMA is not available but virtually-contiguous + buffers are convenient. + + - Buffers which are physically contiguous. Allocation of this kind of + buffer can be unreliable on fragmented systems, but simpler DMA + controllers cannot deal with anything else. + +Videobuf can work with all three types of buffers, but the driver author +must pick one at the outset and design the driver around that decision. + +[It's worth noting that there's a fourth kind of buffer: "overlay" buffers +which are located within the system's video memory. The overlay +functionality is considered to be deprecated for most use, but it still +shows up occasionally in system-on-chip drivers where the performance +benefits merit the use of this technique. Overlay buffers can be handled +as a form of scattered buffer, but there are very few implementations in +the kernel and a description of this technique is currently beyond the +scope of this document.] + +Data structures, callbacks, and initialization +---------------------------------------------- + +Depending on which type of buffers are being used, the driver should +include one of the following files: + +.. code-block:: none + + <media/videobuf-dma-sg.h> /* Physically scattered */ + <media/videobuf-vmalloc.h> /* vmalloc() buffers */ + <media/videobuf-dma-contig.h> /* Physically contiguous */ + +The driver's data structure describing a V4L2 device should include a +struct videobuf_queue instance for the management of the buffer queue, +along with a list_head for the queue of available buffers. There will also +need to be an interrupt-safe spinlock which is used to protect (at least) +the queue. + +The next step is to write four simple callbacks to help videobuf deal with +the management of buffers: + +.. code-block:: none + + struct videobuf_queue_ops { + int (*buf_setup)(struct videobuf_queue *q, + unsigned int *count, unsigned int *size); + int (*buf_prepare)(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct videobuf_buffer *vb, + enum v4l2_field field); + void (*buf_queue)(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct videobuf_buffer *vb); + void (*buf_release)(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct videobuf_buffer *vb); + }; + +buf_setup() is called early in the I/O process, when streaming is being +initiated; its purpose is to tell videobuf about the I/O stream. The count +parameter will be a suggested number of buffers to use; the driver should +check it for rationality and adjust it if need be. As a practical rule, a +minimum of two buffers are needed for proper streaming, and there is +usually a maximum (which cannot exceed 32) which makes sense for each +device. The size parameter should be set to the expected (maximum) size +for each frame of data. + +Each buffer (in the form of a struct videobuf_buffer pointer) will be +passed to buf_prepare(), which should set the buffer's size, width, height, +and field fields properly. If the buffer's state field is +VIDEOBUF_NEEDS_INIT, the driver should pass it to: + +.. code-block:: none + + int videobuf_iolock(struct videobuf_queue* q, struct videobuf_buffer *vb, + struct v4l2_framebuffer *fbuf); + +Among other things, this call will usually allocate memory for the buffer. +Finally, the buf_prepare() function should set the buffer's state to +VIDEOBUF_PREPARED. + +When a buffer is queued for I/O, it is passed to buf_queue(), which should +put it onto the driver's list of available buffers and set its state to +VIDEOBUF_QUEUED. Note that this function is called with the queue spinlock +held; if it tries to acquire it as well things will come to a screeching +halt. Yes, this is the voice of experience. Note also that videobuf may +wait on the first buffer in the queue; placing other buffers in front of it +could again gum up the works. So use list_add_tail() to enqueue buffers. + +Finally, buf_release() is called when a buffer is no longer intended to be +used. The driver should ensure that there is no I/O active on the buffer, +then pass it to the appropriate free routine(s): + +.. code-block:: none + + /* Scatter/gather drivers */ + int videobuf_dma_unmap(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct videobuf_dmabuf *dma); + int videobuf_dma_free(struct videobuf_dmabuf *dma); + + /* vmalloc drivers */ + void videobuf_vmalloc_free (struct videobuf_buffer *buf); + + /* Contiguous drivers */ + void videobuf_dma_contig_free(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct videobuf_buffer *buf); + +One way to ensure that a buffer is no longer under I/O is to pass it to: + +.. code-block:: none + + int videobuf_waiton(struct videobuf_buffer *vb, int non_blocking, int intr); + +Here, vb is the buffer, non_blocking indicates whether non-blocking I/O +should be used (it should be zero in the buf_release() case), and intr +controls whether an interruptible wait is used. + +File operations +--------------- + +At this point, much of the work is done; much of the rest is slipping +videobuf calls into the implementation of the other driver callbacks. The +first step is in the open() function, which must initialize the +videobuf queue. The function to use depends on the type of buffer used: + +.. code-block:: none + + void videobuf_queue_sg_init(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct videobuf_queue_ops *ops, + struct device *dev, + spinlock_t *irqlock, + enum v4l2_buf_type type, + enum v4l2_field field, + unsigned int msize, + void *priv); + + void videobuf_queue_vmalloc_init(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct videobuf_queue_ops *ops, + struct device *dev, + spinlock_t *irqlock, + enum v4l2_buf_type type, + enum v4l2_field field, + unsigned int msize, + void *priv); + + void videobuf_queue_dma_contig_init(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct videobuf_queue_ops *ops, + struct device *dev, + spinlock_t *irqlock, + enum v4l2_buf_type type, + enum v4l2_field field, + unsigned int msize, + void *priv); + +In each case, the parameters are the same: q is the queue structure for the +device, ops is the set of callbacks as described above, dev is the device +structure for this video device, irqlock is an interrupt-safe spinlock to +protect access to the data structures, type is the buffer type used by the +device (cameras will use V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE, for example), field +describes which field is being captured (often V4L2_FIELD_NONE for +progressive devices), msize is the size of any containing structure used +around struct videobuf_buffer, and priv is a private data pointer which +shows up in the priv_data field of struct videobuf_queue. Note that these +are void functions which, evidently, are immune to failure. + +V4L2 capture drivers can be written to support either of two APIs: the +read() system call and the rather more complicated streaming mechanism. As +a general rule, it is necessary to support both to ensure that all +applications have a chance of working with the device. Videobuf makes it +easy to do that with the same code. To implement read(), the driver need +only make a call to one of: + +.. code-block:: none + + ssize_t videobuf_read_one(struct videobuf_queue *q, + char __user *data, size_t count, + loff_t *ppos, int nonblocking); + + ssize_t videobuf_read_stream(struct videobuf_queue *q, + char __user *data, size_t count, + loff_t *ppos, int vbihack, int nonblocking); + +Either one of these functions will read frame data into data, returning the +amount actually read; the difference is that videobuf_read_one() will only +read a single frame, while videobuf_read_stream() will read multiple frames +if they are needed to satisfy the count requested by the application. A +typical driver read() implementation will start the capture engine, call +one of the above functions, then stop the engine before returning (though a +smarter implementation might leave the engine running for a little while in +anticipation of another read() call happening in the near future). + +The poll() function can usually be implemented with a direct call to: + +.. code-block:: none + + unsigned int videobuf_poll_stream(struct file *file, + struct videobuf_queue *q, + poll_table *wait); + +Note that the actual wait queue eventually used will be the one associated +with the first available buffer. + +When streaming I/O is done to kernel-space buffers, the driver must support +the mmap() system call to enable user space to access the data. In many +V4L2 drivers, the often-complex mmap() implementation simplifies to a +single call to: + +.. code-block:: none + + int videobuf_mmap_mapper(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct vm_area_struct *vma); + +Everything else is handled by the videobuf code. + +The release() function requires two separate videobuf calls: + +.. code-block:: none + + void videobuf_stop(struct videobuf_queue *q); + int videobuf_mmap_free(struct videobuf_queue *q); + +The call to videobuf_stop() terminates any I/O in progress - though it is +still up to the driver to stop the capture engine. The call to +videobuf_mmap_free() will ensure that all buffers have been unmapped; if +so, they will all be passed to the buf_release() callback. If buffers +remain mapped, videobuf_mmap_free() returns an error code instead. The +purpose is clearly to cause the closing of the file descriptor to fail if +buffers are still mapped, but every driver in the 2.6.32 kernel cheerfully +ignores its return value. + +ioctl() operations +------------------ + +The V4L2 API includes a very long list of driver callbacks to respond to +the many ioctl() commands made available to user space. A number of these +- those associated with streaming I/O - turn almost directly into videobuf +calls. The relevant helper functions are: + +.. code-block:: none + + int videobuf_reqbufs(struct videobuf_queue *q, + struct v4l2_requestbuffers *req); + int videobuf_querybuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct v4l2_buffer *b); + int videobuf_qbuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct v4l2_buffer *b); + int videobuf_dqbuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct v4l2_buffer *b, + int nonblocking); + int videobuf_streamon(struct videobuf_queue *q); + int videobuf_streamoff(struct videobuf_queue *q); + +So, for example, a VIDIOC_REQBUFS call turns into a call to the driver's +vidioc_reqbufs() callback which, in turn, usually only needs to locate the +proper struct videobuf_queue pointer and pass it to videobuf_reqbufs(). +These support functions can replace a great deal of buffer management +boilerplate in a lot of V4L2 drivers. + +The vidioc_streamon() and vidioc_streamoff() functions will be a bit more +complex, of course, since they will also need to deal with starting and +stopping the capture engine. + +Buffer allocation +----------------- + +Thus far, we have talked about buffers, but have not looked at how they are +allocated. The scatter/gather case is the most complex on this front. For +allocation, the driver can leave buffer allocation entirely up to the +videobuf layer; in this case, buffers will be allocated as anonymous +user-space pages and will be very scattered indeed. If the application is +using user-space buffers, no allocation is needed; the videobuf layer will +take care of calling get_user_pages() and filling in the scatterlist array. + +If the driver needs to do its own memory allocation, it should be done in +the vidioc_reqbufs() function, *after* calling videobuf_reqbufs(). The +first step is a call to: + +.. code-block:: none + + struct videobuf_dmabuf *videobuf_to_dma(struct videobuf_buffer *buf); + +The returned videobuf_dmabuf structure (defined in +<media/videobuf-dma-sg.h>) includes a couple of relevant fields: + +.. code-block:: none + + struct scatterlist *sglist; + int sglen; + +The driver must allocate an appropriately-sized scatterlist array and +populate it with pointers to the pieces of the allocated buffer; sglen +should be set to the length of the array. + +Drivers using the vmalloc() method need not (and cannot) concern themselves +with buffer allocation at all; videobuf will handle those details. The +same is normally true of contiguous-DMA drivers as well; videobuf will +allocate the buffers (with dma_alloc_coherent()) when it sees fit. That +means that these drivers may be trying to do high-order allocations at any +time, an operation which is not always guaranteed to work. Some drivers +play tricks by allocating DMA space at system boot time; videobuf does not +currently play well with those drivers. + +As of 2.6.31, contiguous-DMA drivers can work with a user-supplied buffer, +as long as that buffer is physically contiguous. Normal user-space +allocations will not meet that criterion, but buffers obtained from other +kernel drivers, or those contained within huge pages, will work with these +drivers. + +Filling the buffers +------------------- + +The final part of a videobuf implementation has no direct callback - it's +the portion of the code which actually puts frame data into the buffers, +usually in response to interrupts from the device. For all types of +drivers, this process works approximately as follows: + + - Obtain the next available buffer and make sure that somebody is actually + waiting for it. + + - Get a pointer to the memory and put video data there. + + - Mark the buffer as done and wake up the process waiting for it. + +Step (1) above is done by looking at the driver-managed list_head structure +- the one which is filled in the buf_queue() callback. Because starting +the engine and enqueueing buffers are done in separate steps, it's possible +for the engine to be running without any buffers available - in the +vmalloc() case especially. So the driver should be prepared for the list +to be empty. It is equally possible that nobody is yet interested in the +buffer; the driver should not remove it from the list or fill it until a +process is waiting on it. That test can be done by examining the buffer's +done field (a wait_queue_head_t structure) with waitqueue_active(). + +A buffer's state should be set to VIDEOBUF_ACTIVE before being mapped for +DMA; that ensures that the videobuf layer will not try to do anything with +it while the device is transferring data. + +For scatter/gather drivers, the needed memory pointers will be found in the +scatterlist structure described above. Drivers using the vmalloc() method +can get a memory pointer with: + +.. code-block:: none + + void *videobuf_to_vmalloc(struct videobuf_buffer *buf); + +For contiguous DMA drivers, the function to use is: + +.. code-block:: none + + dma_addr_t videobuf_to_dma_contig(struct videobuf_buffer *buf); + +The contiguous DMA API goes out of its way to hide the kernel-space address +of the DMA buffer from drivers. + +The final step is to set the size field of the relevant videobuf_buffer +structure to the actual size of the captured image, set state to +VIDEOBUF_DONE, then call wake_up() on the done queue. At this point, the +buffer is owned by the videobuf layer and the driver should not touch it +again. + +Developers who are interested in more information can go into the relevant +header files; there are a few low-level functions declared there which have +not been talked about here. Note also that all of these calls are exported +GPL-only, so they will not be available to non-GPL kernel modules. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-videobuf2.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-videobuf2.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..1044f64ff168 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-videobuf2.rst @@ -0,0 +1,12 @@ +..

[Hence, the drivers that do not set +``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` should not expect the runtime PM status of their +devices to be changed from "suspended" to "active" by the PM core during +system-wide resume-type transitions.] + +If the ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` flag is not set for a device, but +``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` is set and the driver's "late" and "noirq" suspend +callbacks are skipped, its system-wide "noirq" and "early" resume callbacks, if +present, are invoked as usual and the device's runtime PM status is set to +"active" by the PM core before enabling runtime PM for it. In that case, the +driver must be prepared to cope with the invocation of its system-wide resume +callbacks back-to-back with its ``->runtime_suspend`` one (without the +intervening ``->runtime_resume`` and system-wide suspend callbacks) and the +final state of the device must reflect the "active" runtime PM status in that +case. [Note that this is not a problem at all if the driver's +``->suspend_late`` callback pointer points to the same function as its +``->runtime_suspend`` one and its ``->resume_early`` callback pointer points to +the same function as the ``->runtime_resume`` one, while none of the other +system-wide suspend-resume callbacks of the driver are present, for example.] + +Likewise, if ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` is set for a device, its driver's +system-wide "noirq" and "early" resume callbacks may be skipped while its "late" +and "noirq" suspend callbacks may have been executed (in principle, regardless +of whether or not ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` is set). In that case, the driver +needs to be able to cope with the invocation of its ``->runtime_resume`` +callback back-to-back with its "late" and "noirq" suspend ones. [For instance, +that is not a concern if the driver sets both ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` and +``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` and uses the same pair of suspend/resume callback +functions for runtime PM and system-wide suspend/resume.] diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/soundwire/stream.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/soundwire/stream.rst index 8bceece51554..1b386076402c 100644 --- a/Documentation/driver-api/soundwire/stream.rst +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/soundwire/stream.rst @@ -75,8 +75,33 @@ Slaves are using single port. :: | (Data) | +---------------+ +Example 4: Stereo Stream with L and R channels is rendered by +Master.
