Linux currently supports - almost all USB class devices (standard types of devices like keyboards, - mice, modems, printers and speakers) and an ever-growing number of - vendor-specific devices (such as USB to serial converters, digital - cameras, Ethernet devices and MP3 players). For a full list of the - different USB devices currently supported, see Resources. - </para> - <para> - The remaining kinds of USB devices that do not have support on Linux are - almost all vendor-specific devices. Each vendor decides to implement a - custom protocol to talk to their device, so a custom driver usually needs - to be created. Some vendors are open with their USB protocols and help - with the creation of Linux drivers, while others do not publish them, and - developers are forced to reverse-engineer. See Resources for some links - to handy reverse-engineering tools. - </para> - <para> - Because each different protocol causes a new driver to be created, I have - written a generic USB driver skeleton, modelled after the pci-skeleton.c - file in the kernel source tree upon which many PCI network drivers have - been based. This USB skeleton can be found at drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c - in the kernel source tree. In this article I will walk through the basics - of the skeleton driver, explaining the different pieces and what needs to - be done to customize it to your specific device. - </para> - </chapter> - - <chapter id="basics"> - <title>Linux USB Basics</title> - <para> - If you are going to write a Linux USB driver, please become familiar with - the USB protocol specification. It can be found, along with many other - useful documents, at the USB home page (see Resources). An excellent - introduction to the Linux USB subsystem can be found at the USB Working - Devices List (see Resources). It explains how the Linux USB subsystem is - structured and introduces the reader to the concept of USB urbs - (USB Request Blocks), which are essential to USB drivers. - </para> - <para> - The first thing a Linux USB driver needs to do is register itself with - the Linux USB subsystem, giving it some information about which devices - the driver supports and which functions to call when a device supported - by the driver is inserted or removed from the system. All of this - information is passed to the USB subsystem in the usb_driver structure. - The skeleton driver declares a usb_driver as: - </para> - <programlisting> -static struct usb_driver skel_driver = { - .name = "skeleton", - .probe = skel_probe, - .disconnect = skel_disconnect, - .fops = &skel_fops, - .minor = USB_SKEL_MINOR_BASE, - .id_table = skel_table, -}; - </programlisting> - <para> - The variable name is a string that describes the driver. It is used in - informational messages printed to the system log. The probe and - disconnect function pointers are called when a device that matches the - information provided in the id_table variable is either seen or removed. - </para> - <para> - The fops and minor variables are optional. Most USB drivers hook into - another kernel subsystem, such as the SCSI, network or TTY subsystem. - These types of drivers register themselves with the other kernel - subsystem, and any user-space interactions are provided through that - interface. But for drivers that do not have a matching kernel subsystem, - such as MP3 players or scanners, a method of interacting with user space - is needed. The USB subsystem provides a way to register a minor device - number and a set of file_operations function pointers that enable this - user-space interaction. The skeleton driver needs this kind of interface, - so it provides a minor starting number and a pointer to its - file_operations functions. - </para> - <para> - The USB driver is then registered with a call to usb_register, usually in - the driver's init function, as shown here: - </para> - <programlisting> -static int __init usb_skel_init(void) -{ - int result; - - /* register this driver with the USB subsystem */ - result = usb_register(&skel_driver); - if (result < 0) { - err("usb_register failed for the "__FILE__ "driver." - "Error number %d", result); - return -1; - } - - return 0; -} -module_init(usb_skel_init); - </programlisting> - <para> - When the driver is unloaded from the system, it needs to deregister - itself with the USB subsystem. This is done with the usb_deregister - function: - </para> - <programlisting> -static void __exit usb_skel_exit(void) -{ - /* deregister this driver with the USB subsystem */ - usb_deregister(&skel_driver); -} -module_exit(usb_skel_exit); - </programlisting> - <para> - To enable the linux-hotplug system to load the driver automatically when - the device is plugged in, you need to create a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE. The - following code tells the hotplug scripts that this module supports a - single device with a specific vendor and product ID: - </para> - <programlisting> -/* table of devices that work with this driver */ -static struct usb_device_id skel_table [] = { - { USB_DEVICE(USB_SKEL_VENDOR_ID, USB_SKEL_PRODUCT_ID) }, - { } /* Terminating entry */ -}; -MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE (usb, skel_table); - </programlisting> - <para> - There are other macros that can be used in describing a usb_device_id for - drivers that support a whole class of USB drivers. See usb.h for more - information on this. - </para> - </chapter> - - <chapter id="device"> - <title>Device operation</title> - <para> - When a device is plugged into the USB bus that matches the device ID - pattern that your driver registered with the USB core, the probe function - is called. The usb_device structure, interface number and the interface ID - are passed to the function: - </para> - <programlisting> -static int skel_probe(struct usb_interface *interface, - const struct usb_device_id *id) - </programlisting> - <para> - The driver now needs to verify that this device is actually one that it - can accept. If so, it returns 0. - If not, or if any error occurs during initialization, an errorcode - (such as <literal>-ENOMEM</literal> or <literal>-ENODEV</literal>) - is returned from the probe function. - </para> - <para> - In the skeleton driver, we determine what end points are marked as bulk-in - and bulk-out. We create buffers to hold the data that will be sent and - received from the device, and a USB urb to write data to the device is - initialized. - </para> - <para> - Conversely, when the device is removed from the USB bus, the disconnect - function is called with the device pointer. The driver needs to clean any - private data that has been allocated at this time and to shut down any - pending urbs that are in the USB system. - </para> - <para> - Now that the device is plugged into the system and the driver is bound to - the device, any of the functions in the file_operations structure that - were passed to the USB subsystem will be called from a user program trying - to talk to the device. The first function called will be open, as the - program tries to open the device for I/O. We increment our private usage - count and save a pointer to our internal structure in the file - structure. This is done so that future calls to file operations will - enable the driver to determine which device the user is addressing. All - of this is done with the following code: - </para> - <programlisting> -/* increment our usage count for the module */ -++skel->open_count; - -/* save our object in the file's private structure */ -file->private_data = dev; - </programlisting> - <para> - After the open function is called, the read and write functions are called - to receive and send data to the device. In the skel_write function, we - receive a pointer to some data that the user wants to send to the device - and the size of the data. The function determines how much data it can - send to the device based on the size of the write urb it has created (this - size depends on the size of the bulk out end point that the device has). - Then it copies the data from user space to kernel space, points the urb to - the data and submits the urb to the USB subsystem. This can be seen in - the following code: - </para> - <programlisting> -/* we can only write as much as 1 urb will hold */ -bytes_written = (count > skel->bulk_out_size) ? skel->bulk_out_size : count; - -/* copy the data from user space into our urb */ -copy_from_user(skel->write_urb->transfer_buffer, buffer, bytes_written); - -/* set up our urb */ -usb_fill_bulk_urb(skel->write_urb, - skel->dev, - usb_sndbulkpipe(skel->dev, skel->bulk_out_endpointAddr), - skel->write_urb->transfer_buffer, - bytes_written, - skel_write_bulk_callback, - skel); - -/* send the data out the bulk port */ -result = usb_submit_urb(skel->write_urb); -if (result) { - err("Failed submitting write urb, error %d", result); -} - </programlisting> - <para> - When the write urb is filled up with the proper information using the - usb_fill_bulk_urb function, we point the urb's completion callback to call our - own skel_write_bulk_callback function. This function is called when the - urb is finished by the USB subsystem. The callback function is called in - interrupt context, so caution must be taken not to do very much processing - at that time. Our implementation of skel_write_bulk_callback merely - reports if the urb was completed successfully or not and then returns. - </para> - <para> - The read function works a bit differently from the write function in that - we do not use an urb to transfer data from the device to the driver. - Instead we call the usb_bulk_msg function, which can be used to send or - receive data from a device without having to create urbs and handle - urb completion callback functions. We call the usb_bulk_msg function, - giving it a buffer into which to place any data received from the device - and a timeout value. If the timeout period expires without receiving any - data from the device, the function will fail and return an error message. - This can be shown with the following code: - </para> - <programlisting> -/* do an immediate bulk read to get data from the device */ -retval = usb_bulk_msg (skel->dev, - usb_rcvbulkpipe (skel->dev, - skel->bulk_in_endpointAddr), - skel->bulk_in_buffer, - skel->bulk_in_size, - &count, HZ*10); -/* if the read was successful, copy the data to user space */ -if (!retval) { - if (copy_to_user (buffer, skel->bulk_in_buffer, count)) - retval = -EFAULT; - else - retval = count; -} - </programlisting> - <para> - The usb_bulk_msg function can be very useful for doing single reads or - writes to a device; however, if you need to read or write constantly to a - device, it is recommended to set up your own urbs and submit them to the - USB subsystem. - </para> - <para> - When the user program releases the file handle that it has been using to - talk to the device, the release function in the driver is called. In this - function we decrement our private usage count and wait for possible - pending writes: - </para> - <programlisting> -/* decrement our usage count for the device */ ---skel->open_count; - </programlisting> - <para> - One of the more difficult problems that USB drivers must be able to handle - smoothly is the fact that the USB device may be removed from the system at - any point in time, even if a program is currently talking to it. It needs - to be able to shut down any current reads and writes and notify the - user-space programs that the device is no longer there. The following - code (function <function>skel_delete</function>) - is an example of how to do this: </para> - <programlisting> -static inline void skel_delete (struct usb_skel *dev) -{ - kfree (dev->bulk_in_buffer); - if (dev->bulk_out_buffer != NULL) - usb_free_coherent (dev->udev, dev->bulk_out_size, - dev->bulk_out_buffer, - dev->write_urb->transfer_dma); - usb_free_urb (dev->write_urb); - kfree (dev); -} - </programlisting> - <para> - If a program currently has an open handle to the device, we reset the flag - <literal>device_present</literal>. For - every read, write, release and other functions that expect a device to be - present, the driver first checks this flag to see if the device is - still present. If not, it releases that the device has disappeared, and a - -ENODEV error is returned to the user-space program. When the release - function is eventually called, it determines if there is no device - and if not, it does the cleanup that the skel_disconnect - function normally does if there are no open files on the device (see - Listing 5). - </para> - </chapter> - - <chapter id="iso"> - <title>Isochronous Data</title> - <para> - This usb-skeleton driver does not have any examples of interrupt or - isochronous data being sent to or from the device.

As a rule, +the higher the clock frequency and the higher the voltage, the more instructions +can be retired by the CPU over a unit of time, but also the higher the clock +frequency and the higher the voltage, the more energy is consumed over a unit of +time (or the more power is drawn) by the CPU in the given P-state. Therefore +there is a natural tradeoff between the CPU capacity (the number of instructions +that can be executed over a unit of time) and the power drawn by the CPU. + +In some situations it is desirable or even necessary to run the program as fast +as possible and then there is no reason to use any P-states different from the +highest one (i.e. the highest-performance frequency/voltage configuration +available). In some other cases, however, it may not be necessary to execute +instructions so quickly and maintaining the highest available CPU capacity for a +relatively long time without utilizing it entirely may be regarded as wasteful. +It also may not be physically possible to maintain maximum CPU capacity for too +long for thermal or power supply capacity reasons or similar. To cover those +cases, there are hardware interfaces allowing CPUs to be switched between +different frequency/voltage configurations or (in the ACPI terminology) to be +put into different P-states. + +Typically, they are used along with algorithms to estimate the required CPU +capacity, so as to decide which P-states to put the CPUs into. Of course, since +the utilization of the system generally changes over time, that has to be done +repeatedly on a regular basis. The activity by which this happens is referred +to as CPU performance scaling or CPU frequency scaling (because it involves +adjusting the CPU clock frequency). + + +CPU Performance Scaling in Linux +================================ + +The Linux kernel supports CPU performance scaling by means of the ``CPUFreq`` +(CPU Frequency scaling) subsystem that consists of three layers of code: the +core, scaling governors and scaling drivers. + +The ``CPUFreq`` core provides the common code infrastructure and user space +interfaces for all platforms that support CPU performance scaling. It defines +the basic framework in which the other components operate. + +Scaling governors implement algorithms to estimate the required CPU capacity. +As a rule, each governor implements one, possibly parametrized, scaling +algorithm. + +Scaling drivers talk to the hardware. They provide scaling governors with +information on the available P-states (or P-state ranges in some cases) and +access platform-specific hardware interfaces to change CPU P-states as requested +by scaling governors. + +In principle, all available scaling governors can be used with every scaling +driver. That design is based on the observation that the information used by +performance scaling algorithms for P-state selection can be represented in a +platform-independent form in the majority of cases, so it should be possible +to use the same performance scaling algorithm implemented in exactly the same +way regardless of which scaling driver is used. Consequently, the same set of +scaling governors should be suitable for every supported platform. + +However, that observation may not hold for performance scaling algorithms +based on information provided by the hardware itself, for example through +feedback registers, as that information is typically specific to the hardware +interface it comes from and may not be easily represented in an abstract, +platform-independent way. For this reason, ``CPUFreq`` allows scaling drivers +to bypass the governor layer and implement their own performance scaling +algorithms. That is done by the ``intel_pstate`` scaling driver. + + +``CPUFreq`` Policy Objects +========================== + +In some cases the hardware interface for P-state control is shared by multiple +CPUs. That is, for example, the same register (or set of registers) is used to +control the P-state of multiple CPUs at the same time and writing to it affects +all of those CPUs simultaneously. + +Sets of CPUs sharing hardware P-state control interfaces are represented by +``CPUFreq`` as |struct cpufreq_policy| objects. For consistency, +|struct cpufreq_policy| is also used when there is only one CPU in the given +set. + +The ``CPUFreq`` core maintains a pointer to a |struct cpufreq_policy| object for +every CPU in the system, including CPUs that are currently offline. If multiple +CPUs share the same hardware P-state control interface, all of the pointers +corresponding to them point to the same |struct cpufreq_policy| object. + +``CPUFreq`` uses |struct cpufreq_policy| as its basic data type and the design +of its user space interface is based on the policy concept. + + +CPU Initialization +================== + +First of all, a scaling driver has to be registered for ``CPUFreq`` to work. +It is only possible to register one scaling driver at a time, so the scaling +driver is expected to be able to handle all CPUs in the system. + +The scaling driver may be registered before or after CPU registration. If +CPUs are registered earlier, the driver core invokes the ``CPUFreq`` core to +take a note of all of the already registered CPUs during the registration of the +scaling driver. In turn, if any CPUs are registered after the registration of +the scaling driver, the ``CPUFreq`` core will be invoked to take note of them +at their registration time. + +In any case, the ``CPUFreq`` core is invoked to take note of any logical CPU it +has not seen so far as soon as it is ready to handle that CPU. [Note that the +logical CPU may be a physical single-core processor, or a single core in a +multicore processor, or a hardware thread in a physical processor or processor +core. In what follows "CPU" always means "logical CPU" unless explicitly stated +otherwise and the word "processor" is used to refer to the physical part +possibly including multiple logical CPUs.] + +Once invoked, the ``CPUFreq`` core checks if the policy pointer is already set +for the given CPU and if so, it skips the policy object creation. Otherwise, +a new policy object is created and initialized, which involves the creation of +a new policy directory in ``sysfs``, and the policy pointer corresponding to +the given CPU is set to the new policy object's address in memory. + +Next, the scaling driver's ``->init()`` callback is invoked with the policy +pointer of the new CPU passed to it as the argument. That callback is expected +to initialize the performance scaling hardware interface for the given CPU (or, +more precisely, for the set of CPUs sharing the hardware interface it belongs +to, represented by its policy object) and, if the policy object it has been +called for is new, to set parameters of the policy, like the minimum and maximum +frequencies supported by the hardware, the table of available frequencies (if +the set of supported P-states is not a continuous range), and the mask of CPUs +that belong to the same policy (including both online and offline CPUs). That +mask is then used by the core to populate the policy pointers for all of the +CPUs in it. + +The next major initialization step for a new policy object is to attach a +scaling governor to it (to begin with, that is the default scaling governor +determined by the kernel configuration, but it may be changed later +via ``sysfs``). First, a pointer to the new policy object is passed to the +governor's ``->init()`` callback which is expected to initialize all of the +data structures necessary to handle the given policy and, possibly, to add +a governor ``sysfs`` interface to it. Next, the governor is started by +invoking its ``->start()`` callback. + +That callback it expected to register per-CPU utilization update callbacks for +all of the online CPUs belonging to the given policy with the CPU scheduler. +The utilization update callbacks will be invoked by the CPU scheduler on +important events, like task enqueue and dequeue, on every iteration of the +scheduler tick or generally whenever the CPU utilization may change (from the +scheduler's perspective). They are expected to carry out computations needed +to determine the P-state to use for the given policy going forward and to +invoke the scaling driver to make changes to the hardware in accordance with +the P-state selection. The scaling driver may be invoked directly from +scheduler context or asynchronously, via a kernel thread or workqueue, depending +on the configuration and capabilities of the scaling driver and the governor. + +Similar steps are taken for policy objects that are not new, but were "inactive" +previously, meaning that all of the CPUs belonging to them were offline. The +only practical difference in that case is that the ``CPUFreq`` core will attempt +to use the scaling governor previously used with the policy that became +"inactive" (and is re-initialized now) instead of the default governor. + +In turn, if a previously offline CPU is being brought back online, but some +other CPUs sharing the policy object with it are online already, there is no +need to re-initialize the policy object at all. In that case, it only is +necessary to restart the scaling governor so that it can take the new online CPU +into account. That is achieved by invoking the governor's ``->stop`` and +``->start()`` callbacks, in this order, for the entire policy. + +As mentioned before, the ``intel_pstate`` scaling driver bypasses the scaling +governor layer of ``CPUFreq`` and provides its own P-state selection algorithms. +Consequently, if ``intel_pstate`` is used, scaling governors are not attached to +new policy objects. Instead, the driver's ``->setpolicy()`` callback is invoked +to register per-CPU utilization update callbacks for each policy. These +callbacks are invoked by the CPU scheduler in the same way as for scaling +governors, but in the ``intel_pstate`` case they both determine the P-state to +use and change the hardware configuration accordingly in one go from scheduler +context. + +The policy objects created during CPU initialization and other data structures +associated with them are torn down when the scaling driver is unregistered +(which happens when the kernel module containing it is unloaded, for example) or +when the last CPU belonging to the given policy in unregistered. + + +Policy Interface in ``sysfs`` +============================= + +During the initialization of the kernel, the ``CPUFreq`` core creates a +``sysfs`` directory (kobject) called ``cpufreq`` under +:file:`/sys/devices/system/cpu/`. + +That directory contains a ``policyX`` subdirectory (where ``X`` represents an +integer number) for every policy object maintained by the ``CPUFreq`` core. +Each ``policyX`` directory is pointed to by ``cpufreq`` symbolic links +under :file:`/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuY/` (where ``Y`` represents an integer +that may be different from the one represented by ``X``) for all of the CPUs +associated with (or belonging to) the given policy. The ``policyX`` directories +in :file:`/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq` each contain policy-specific +attributes (files) to control ``CPUFreq`` behavior for the corresponding policy +objects (that is, for all of the CPUs associated with them). + +Some of those attributes are generic. They are created by the ``CPUFreq`` core +and their behavior generally does not depend on what scaling driver is in use +and what scaling governor is attached to the given policy. Some scaling drivers +also add driver-specific attributes to the policy directories in ``sysfs`` to +control policy-specific aspects of driver behavior. + +The generic attributes under :file:`/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policyX/` +are the following: + +``affected_cpus`` + List of online CPUs belonging to this policy (i.e. sharing the hardware + performance scaling interface represented by the ``policyX`` policy + object). + +``bios_limit`` + If the platform firmware (BIOS) tells the OS to apply an upper limit to + CPU frequencies, that limit will be reported through this attribute (if + present). + + The existence of the limit may be a result of some (often unintentional) + BIOS settings, restrictions coming from a service processor or another + BIOS/HW-based mechanisms. + + This does not cover ACPI thermal limitations which can be discovered + through a generic thermal driver. + + This attribute is not present if the scaling driver in use does not + support it. + +``cpuinfo_max_freq`` + Maximum possible operating frequency the CPUs belonging to this policy + can run at (in kHz). + +``cpuinfo_min_freq`` + Minimum possible operating frequency the CPUs belonging to this policy + can run at (in kHz). + +``cpuinfo_transition_latency`` + The time it takes to switch the CPUs belonging to this policy from one + P-state to another, in nanoseconds. + + If unknown or if known to be so high that the scaling driver does not + work with the `ondemand`_ governor, -1 (:c:macro:`CPUFREQ_ETERNAL`) + will be returned by reads from this attribute. + +``related_cpus`` + List of all (online and offline) CPUs belonging to this policy. + +``scaling_available_governors`` + List of ``CPUFreq`` scaling governors present in the kernel that can + be attached to this policy or (if the ``intel_pstate`` scaling driver is + in use) list of scaling algorithms provided by the driver that can be + applied to this policy. + + [Note that some governors are modular and it may be necessary to load a + kernel module for the governor held by it to become available and be + listed by this attribute.] + +``scaling_cur_freq`` + Current frequency of all of the CPUs belonging to this policy (in kHz). + + For the majority of scaling drivers, this is the frequency of the last + P-state requested by the driver from the hardware using the scaling + interface provided by it, which may or may not reflect the frequency + the CPU is actually running at (due to hardware design and other + limitations). + + Some scaling drivers (e.g. ``intel_pstate``) attempt to provide + information more precisely reflecting the current CPU frequency through + this attribute, but that still may not be the exact current CPU + frequency as seen by the hardware at the moment. + +``scaling_driver`` + The scaling driver currently in use. + +``scaling_governor`` + The scaling governor currently attached to this policy or (if the + ``intel_pstate`` scaling driver is in use) the scaling algorithm + provided by the driver that is currently applied to this policy. + + This attribute is read-write and writing to it will cause a new scaling + governor to be attached to this policy or a new scaling algorithm + provided by the scaling driver to be applied to it (in the + ``intel_pstate`` case), as indicated by the string written to this + attribute (which must be one of the names listed by the + ``scaling_available_governors`` attribute described above). + +``scaling_max_freq`` + Maximum frequency the CPUs belonging to this policy are allowed to be + running at (in kHz). + + This attribute is read-write and writing a string representing an + integer to it will cause a new limit to be set (it must not be lower + than the value of the ``scaling_min_freq`` attribute). + +``scaling_min_freq`` + Minimum frequency the CPUs belonging to this policy are allowed to be + running at (in kHz). + + This attribute is read-write and writing a string representing a + non-negative integer to it will cause a new limit to be set (it must not + be higher than the value of the ``scaling_max_freq`` attribute). + +``scaling_setspeed`` + This attribute is functional only if the `userspace`_ scaling governor + is attached to the given policy. + + It returns the last frequency requested by the governor (in kHz) or can + be written to in order to set a new frequency for the policy. + + +Generic Scaling Governors +========================= + +``CPUFreq`` provides generic scaling governors that can be used with all +scaling drivers. As stated before, each of them implements a single, possibly +parametrized, performance scaling algorithm. + +Scaling governors are attached to policy objects and different policy objects +can be handled by different scaling governors at the same time (although that +may lead to suboptimal results in some cases). + +The scaling governor for a given policy object can be changed at any time with +the help of the ``scaling_governor`` policy attribute in ``sysfs``. + +Some governors expose ``sysfs`` attributes to control or fine-tune the scaling +algorithms implemented by them. Those attributes, referred to as governor +tunables, can be either global (system-wide) or per-policy, depending on the +scaling driver in use. If the driver requires governor tunables to be +per-policy, they are located in a subdirectory of each policy directory. +Otherwise, they are located in a subdirectory under +:file:`/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/`. In either case the name of the +subdirectory containing the governor tunables is the name of the governor +providing them. + +``performance`` +--------------- + +When attached to a policy object, this governor causes the highest frequency, +within the ``scaling_max_freq`` policy limit, to be requested for that policy. + +The request is made once at that time the governor for the policy is set to +``performance`` and whenever the ``scaling_max_freq`` or ``scaling_min_freq`` +policy limits change after that. + +``powersave`` +------------- + +When attached to a policy object, this governor causes the lowest frequency, +within the ``scaling_min_freq`` policy limit, to be requested for that policy. + +The request is made once at that time the governor for the policy is set to +``powersave`` and whenever the ``scaling_max_freq`` or ``scaling_min_freq`` +policy limits change after that. + +``userspace`` +------------- + +This governor does not do anything by itself. Instead, it allows user space +to set the CPU frequency for the policy it is attached to by writing to the +``scaling_setspeed`` attribute of that policy. + +``schedutil`` +------------- + +This governor uses CPU utilization data available from the CPU scheduler. It +generally is regarded as a part of the CPU scheduler, so it can access the +scheduler's internal data structures directly. + +It runs entirely in scheduler context, although in some cases it may need to +invoke the scaling driver asynchronously when it decides that the CPU frequency +should be changed for a given policy (that depends on whether or not the driver +is capable of changing the CPU frequency from scheduler context). + +The actions of this governor for a particular CPU depend on the scheduling class +invoking its utilization update callback for that CPU. If it is invoked by the +RT or deadline scheduling classes, the governor will increase the frequency to +the allowed maximum (that is, the ``scaling_max_freq`` policy limit). In turn, +if it is invoked by the CFS scheduling class, the governor will use the +Per-Entity Load Tracking (PELT) metric for the root control group of the +given CPU as the CPU utilization estimate (see the `Per-entity load tracking`_ +LWN.net article for a description of the PELT mechanism). Then, the new +CPU frequency to apply is computed in accordance with the formula + + f = 1.25 * ``f_0`` * ``util`` / ``max`` + +where ``util`` is the PELT number, ``max`` is the theoretical maximum of +``util``, and ``f_0`` is either the maximum possible CPU frequency for the given +policy (if the PELT number is frequency-invariant), or the current CPU frequency +(otherwise). + +This governor also employs a mechanism allowing it to temporarily bump up the +CPU frequency for tasks that have been waiting on I/O most recently, called +"IO-wait boosting". That happens when the :c:macro:`SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT` flag +is passed by the scheduler to the governor callback which causes the frequency +to go up to the allowed maximum immediately and then draw back to the value +returned by the above formula over time. + +This governor exposes only one tunable: + +``rate_limit_us`` + Minimum time (in microseconds) that has to pass between two consecutive + runs of governor computations (default: 1000 times the scaling driver's + transition latency). + + The purpose of this tunable is to reduce the scheduler context overhead + of the governor which might be excessive without it. + +This governor generally is regarded as a replacement for the older `ondemand`_ +and `conservative`_ governors (described below), as it is simpler and more +tightly integrated with the CPU scheduler, its overhead in terms of CPU context +switches and similar is less significant, and it uses the scheduler's own CPU +utilization metric, so in principle its decisions should not contradict the +decisions made by the other parts of the scheduler. + +``ondemand`` +------------ + +This governor uses CPU load as a CPU frequency selection metric. + +In order to estimate the current CPU load, it measures the time elapsed between +consecutive invocations of its worker routine and computes the fraction of that +time in which the given CPU was not idle. The ratio of the non-idle (active) +time to the total CPU time is taken as an estimate of the load. + +If this governor is attached to a policy shared by multiple CPUs, the load is +estimated for all of them and the greatest result is taken as the load estimate +for the entire policy. + +The worker routine of this governor has to run in process context, so it is +invoked asynchronously (via a workqueue) and CPU P-states are updated from +there if necessary. As a result, the scheduler context overhead from this +governor is minimum, but it causes additional CPU context switches to happen +relatively often and the CPU P-state updates triggered by it can be relatively +irregular. Also, it affects its own CPU load metric by running code that +reduces the CPU idle time (even though the CPU idle time is only reduced very +slightly by it). + +It generally selects CPU frequencies proportional to the estimated load, so that +the value of the ``cpuinfo_max_freq`` policy attribute corresponds to the load of +1 (or 100%), and the value of the ``cpuinfo_min_freq`` policy attribute +corresponds to the load of 0, unless when the load exceeds a (configurable) +speedup threshold, in which case it will go straight for the highest frequency +it is allowed to use (the ``scaling_max_freq`` policy limit). + +This governor exposes the following tunables: + +``sampling_rate`` + This is how often the governor's worker routine should run, in + microseconds. + + Typically, it is set to values of the order of 10000 (10 ms). Its + default value is equal to the value of ``cpuinfo_transition_latency`` + for each policy this governor is attached to (but since the unit here + is greater by 1000, this means that the time represented by + ``sampling_rate`` is 1000 times greater than the transition latency by + default). + + If this tunable is per-policy, the following shell command sets the time + represented by it to be 750 times as high as the transition latency:: + + # echo `$(($(cat cpuinfo_transition_latency) * 750 / 1000)) > ondemand/sampling_rate + + +``min_sampling_rate`` + The minimum value of ``sampling_rate``. + + Equal to 10000 (10 ms) if :c:macro:`CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON` and + :c:data:`tick_nohz_active` are both set or to 20 times the value of + :c:data:`jiffies` in microseconds otherwise. + +``up_threshold`` + If the estimated CPU load is above this value (in percent), the governor + will set the frequency to the maximum value allowed for the policy. + Otherwise, the selected frequency will be proportional to the estimated + CPU load. + +``ignore_nice_load`` + If set to 1 (default 0), it will cause the CPU load estimation code to + treat the CPU time spent on executing tasks with "nice" levels greater + than 0 as CPU idle time. + + This may be useful if there are tasks in the system that should not be + taken into account when deciding what frequency to run the CPUs at. + Then, to make that happen it is sufficient to increase the "nice" level + of those tasks above 0 and set this attribute to 1. + +``sampling_down_factor`` + Temporary multiplier, between 1 (default) and 100 inclusive, to apply to + the ``sampling_rate`` value if the CPU load goes above ``up_threshold``. + + This causes the next execution of the governor's worker routine (after + setting the frequency to the allowed maximum) to be delayed, so the + frequency stays at the maximum level for a longer time. + + Frequency fluctuations in some bursty workloads may be avoided this way + at the cost of additional energy spent on maintaining the maximum CPU + capacity. + +``powersave_bias`` + Reduction factor to apply to the original frequency target of the + governor (including the maximum value used when the ``up_threshold`` + value is exceeded by the estimated CPU load) or sensitivity threshold + for the AMD frequency sensitivity powersave bias driver + (:file:`drivers/cpufreq/amd_freq_sensitivity.c`), between 0 and 1000 + inclusive. + + If the AMD frequency sensitivity powersave bias driver is not loaded, + the effective frequency to apply is given by + + f * (1 - ``powersave_bias`` / 1000) + + where f is the governor's original frequency target. The default value + of this attribute is 0 in that case. + + If the AMD frequency sensitivity powersave bias driver is loaded, the + value of this attribute is 400 by default and it is used in a different + way. + + On Family 16h (and later) AMD processors there is a mechanism to get a + measured workload sensitivity, between 0 and 100% inclusive, from the + hardware. That value can be used to estimate how the performance of the + workload running on a CPU will change in response to frequency changes. + + The performance of a workload with the sensitivity of 0 (memory-bound or + IO-bound) is not expected to increase at all as a result of increasing + the CPU frequency, whereas workloads with the sensitivity of 100% + (CPU-bound) are expected to perform much better if the CPU frequency is + increased. + + If the workload sensitivity is less than the threshold represented by + the ``powersave_bias`` value, the sensitivity powersave bias driver + will cause the governor to select a frequency lower than its original + target, so as to avoid over-provisioning workloads that will not benefit + from running at higher CPU frequencies. + +``conservative`` +---------------- + +This governor uses CPU load as a CPU frequency selection metric. + +It estimates the CPU load in the same way as the `ondemand`_ governor described +above, but the CPU frequency selection algorithm implemented by it is different. + +Namely, it avoids changing the frequency significantly over short time intervals +which may not be suitable for systems with limited power supply capacity (e.g. +battery-powered). To achieve that, it changes the frequency in relatively +small steps, one step at a time, up or down - depending on whether or not a +(configurable) threshold has been exceeded by the estimated CPU load. + +This governor exposes the following tunables: + +``freq_step`` + Frequency step in percent of the maximum frequency the governor is + allowed to set (the ``scaling_max_freq`` policy limit), between 0 and + 100 (5 by default). + + This is how much the frequency is allowed to change in one go. Setting + it to 0 will cause the default frequency step (5 percent) to be used + and setting it to 100 effectively causes the governor to periodically + switch the frequency between the ``scaling_min_freq`` and + ``scaling_max_freq`` policy limits. + +``down_threshold`` + Threshold value (in percent, 20 by default) used to determine the + frequency change direction. + + If the estimated CPU load is greater than this value, the frequency will + go up (by ``freq_step``). If the load is less than this value (and the + ``sampling_down_factor`` mechanism is not in effect), the frequency will + go down. Otherwise, the frequency will not be changed. + +``sampling_down_factor`` + Frequency decrease deferral factor, between 1 (default) and 10 + inclusive. + + It effectively causes the frequency to go down ``sampling_down_factor`` + times slower than it ramps up. + + +Frequency Boost Support +======================= + +Background +---------- + +Some processors support a mechanism to raise the operating frequency of some +cores in a multicore package temporarily (and above the sustainable frequency +threshold for the whole package) under certain conditions, for example if the +whole chip is not fully utilized and below its intended thermal or power budget. + +Different names are used by different vendors to refer to this functionality. +For Intel processors it is referred to as "Turbo Boost", AMD calls it +"Turbo-Core" or (in technical documentation) "Core Performance Boost" and so on. +As a rule, it also is implemented differently by different vendors. The simple +term "frequency boost" is used here for brevity to refer to all of those +implementations. + +The frequency boost mechanism may be either hardware-based or software-based. +If it is hardware-based (e.g. on x86), the decision to trigger the boosting is +made by the hardware (although in general it requires the hardware to be put +into a special state in which it can control the CPU frequency within certain +limits). If it is software-based (e.g. on ARM), the scaling driver decides +whether or not to trigger boosting and when to do that. + +The ``boost`` File in ``sysfs`` +------------------------------- + +This file is located under :file:`/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/` and controls +the "boost" setting for the whole system. It is not present if the underlying +scaling driver does not support the frequency boost mechanism (or supports it, +but provides a driver-specific interface for controlling it, like +``intel_pstate``). + +If the value in this file is 1, the frequency boost mechanism is enabled. This +means that either the hardware can be put into states in which it is able to +trigger boosting (in the hardware-based case), or the software is allowed to +trigger boosting (in the software-based case). It does not mean that boosting +is actually in use at the moment on any CPUs in the system. It only means a +permission to use the frequency boost mechanism (which still may never be used +for other reasons). + +If the value in this file is 0, the frequency boost mechanism is disabled and +cannot be used at all. + +The only values that can be written to this file are 0 and 1. + +Rationale for Boost Control Knob +-------------------------------- + +The frequency boost mechanism is generally intended to help to achieve optimum +CPU performance on time scales below software resolution (e.g. below the +scheduler tick interval) and it is demonstrably suitable for many workloads, but +it may lead to problems in certain situations. + +For this reason, many systems make it possible to disable the frequency boost +mechanism in the platform firmware (BIOS) setup, but that requires the system to +be restarted for the setting to be adjusted as desired, which may not be +practical at least in some cases. For example: + + 1. Boosting means overclocking the processor, although under controlled + conditions. Generally, the processor's energy consumption increases + as a result of increasing its frequency and voltage, even temporarily. + That may not be desirable on systems that switch to power sources of + limited capacity, such as batteries, so the ability to disable the boost + mechanism while the system is running may help there (but that depends on + the workload too). + + 2. In some situations deterministic behavior is more important than + performance or energy consumption (or both) and the ability to disable + boosting while the system is running may be useful then. + + 3. To examine the impact of the frequency boost mechanism itself, it is useful + to be able to run tests with and without boosting, preferably without + restarting the system in the meantime. + + 4. Reproducible results are important when running benchmarks. Since + the boosting functionality depends on the load of the whole package, + single-thread performance may vary because of it which may lead to + unreproducible results sometimes. That can be avoided by disabling the + frequency boost mechanism before running benchmarks sensitive to that + issue. + +Legacy AMD ``cpb`` Knob +----------------------- + +The AMD powernow-k8 scaling driver supports a ``sysfs`` knob very similar to +the global ``boost`` one. It is used for disabling/enabling the "Core +Performance Boost" feature of some AMD processors. + +If present, that knob is located in every ``CPUFreq`` policy directory in +``sysfs`` (:file:`/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policyX/`) and is called +``cpb``, which indicates a more fine grained control interface. The actual +implementation, however, works on the system-wide basis and setting that knob +for one policy causes the same value of it to be set for all of the other +policies at the same time. + +That knob is still supported on AMD processors that support its underlying +hardware feature, but it may be configured out of the kernel (via the +:c:macro:`CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ_CPB` configuration option) and the global +``boost`` knob is present regardless. Thus it is always possible use the +``boost`` knob instead of the ``cpb`` one which is highly recommended, as that +is more consistent with what all of the other systems do (and the ``cpb`` knob +may not be supported any more in the future). + +The ``cpb`` knob is never present for any processors without the underlying +hardware feature (e.g. all Intel ones), even if the +:c:macro:`CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ_CPB` configuration option is set. + + +.. _Per-entity load tracking: https://lwn.net/Articles/531853/ diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/pm/index.rst b/Documentation/admin-guide/pm/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..c80f087321fc --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/pm/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,15 @@ +================ +Power Management +================ + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 2 + + cpufreq + +.. only:: subproject and html + + Indices + ======= + + * :ref:`genindex` diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/ras.rst b/Documentation/admin-guide/ras.rst index 1b90c6f00a92..8c7bbf2c88d2 100644 --- a/Documentation/admin-guide/ras.rst +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/ras.rst @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ RAS concepts ************ Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) is a concept used on -servers meant to measure their robusteness. +servers meant to measure their robustness.

When may BFQ be useful? +========================== + +BFQ provides the following benefits on personal and server systems. + +1-1 Personal systems +-------------------- + +Low latency for interactive applications + +Regardless of the actual background workload, BFQ guarantees that, for +interactive tasks, the storage device is virtually as responsive as if +it was idle.

As a +comparison, with CFQ, NOOP or DEADLINE, and in the same conditions, +applications experience high latencies, or even become unresponsive +until the background workload terminates (also on SSDs). + +Low latency for soft real-time applications + +Also soft real-time applications, such as audio and video +players/streamers, enjoy a low latency and a low drop rate, regardless +of the background I/O workload. As a consequence, these applications +do not suffer from almost any glitch due to the background workload. + +Higher speed for code-development tasks + +If some additional workload happens to be executed in parallel, then +BFQ executes the I/O-related components of typical code-development +tasks (compilation, checkout, merge, ...) much more quickly than CFQ, +NOOP or DEADLINE. + +High throughput + +On hard disks, BFQ achieves up to 30% higher throughput than CFQ, and +up to 150% higher throughput than DEADLINE and NOOP, with all the +sequential workloads considered in our tests.

From these bandwidth +guarantees, it is possible to compute tight per-I/O-request delay +guarantees by a simple formula. If not configured for strict service +guarantees, BFQ switches to time-based resource sharing (only) for +applications that would otherwise cause a throughput loss. + +1-2 Server systems +------------------ + +Most benefits for server systems follow from the same service +properties as above.

How does BFQ work? +===================== + +BFQ is a proportional-share I/O scheduler, whose general structure, +plus a lot of code, are borrowed from CFQ. + +- Each process doing I/O on a device is associated with a weight and a + (bfq_)queue. + +- BFQ grants exclusive access to the device, for a while, to one queue + (process) at a time, and implements this service model by + associating every queue with a budget, measured in number of + sectors. + + - After a queue is granted access to the device, the budget of the + queue is decremented, on each request dispatch, by the size of the + request. + + - The in-service queue is expired, i.e., its service is suspended, + only if one of the following events occurs: 1) the queue finishes + its budget, 2) the queue empties, 3) a "budget timeout" fires. + + - The budget timeout prevents processes doing random I/O from + holding the device for too long and dramatically reducing + throughput. + + - Actually, as in CFQ, a queue associated with a process issuing + sync requests may not be expired immediately when it empties. In + contrast, BFQ may idle the device for a short time interval, + giving the process the chance to go on being served if it issues + a new request in time. Device idling typically boosts the + throughput on rotational devices, if processes do synchronous + and sequential I/O. In addition, under BFQ, device idling is + also instrumental in guaranteeing the desired throughput + fraction to processes issuing sync requests (see the description + of the slice_idle tunable in this document, or [1, 2], for more + details). + + - With respect to idling for service guarantees, if several + processes are competing for the device at the same time, but + all processes (and groups, after the following commit) have + the same weight, then BFQ guarantees the expected throughput + distribution without ever idling the device. Throughput is + thus as high as possible in this common scenario. + + - If low-latency mode is enabled (default configuration), BFQ + executes some special heuristics to detect interactive and soft + real-time applications (e.g., video or audio players/streamers), + and to reduce their latency. The most important action taken to + achieve this goal is to give to the queues associated with these + applications more than their fair share of the device + throughput. For brevity, we call just "weight-raising" the whole + sets of actions taken by BFQ to privilege these queues. In + particular, BFQ provides a milder form of weight-raising for + interactive applications, and a stronger form for soft real-time + applications. + + - BFQ automatically deactivates idling for queues born in a burst of + queue creations. In fact, these queues are usually associated with + the processes of applications and services that benefit mostly + from a high throughput. Examples are systemd during boot, or git + grep. + + - As CFQ, BFQ merges queues performing interleaved I/O, i.e., + performing random I/O that becomes mostly sequential if + merged. Differently from CFQ, BFQ achieves this goal with a more + reactive mechanism, called Early Queue Merge (EQM). EQM is so + responsive in detecting interleaved I/O (cooperating processes), + that it enables BFQ to achieve a high throughput, by queue + merging, even for queues for which CFQ needs a different + mechanism, preemption, to get a high throughput. As such EQM is a + unified mechanism to achieve a high throughput with interleaved + I/O. + + - Queues are scheduled according to a variant of WF2Q+, named + B-WF2Q+, and implemented using an augmented rb-tree to preserve an + O(log N) overall complexity. See [2] for more details. B-WF2Q+ is + also ready for hierarchical scheduling. However, for a cleaner + logical breakdown, the code that enables and completes + hierarchical support is provided in the next commit, which focuses + exactly on this feature. + + - B-WF2Q+ guarantees a tight deviation with respect to an ideal, + perfectly fair, and smooth service. In particular, B-WF2Q+ + guarantees that each queue receives a fraction of the device + throughput proportional to its weight, even if the throughput + fluctuates, and regardless of: the device parameters, the current + workload and the budgets assigned to the queue. + + - The last, budget-independence, property (although probably + counterintuitive in the first place) is definitely beneficial, for + the following reasons: + + - First, with any proportional-share scheduler, the maximum + deviation with respect to an ideal service is proportional to + the maximum budget (slice) assigned to queues. As a consequence, + BFQ can keep this deviation tight not only because of the + accurate service of B-WF2Q+, but also because BFQ *does not* + need to assign a larger budget to a queue to let the queue + receive a higher fraction of the device throughput. + + - Second, BFQ is free to choose, for every process (queue), the + budget that best fits the needs of the process, or best + leverages the I/O pattern of the process. In particular, BFQ + updates queue budgets with a simple feedback-loop algorithm that + allows a high throughput to be achieved, while still providing + tight latency guarantees to time-sensitive applications. When + the in-service queue expires, this algorithm computes the next + budget of the queue so as to: + + - Let large budgets be eventually assigned to the queues + associated with I/O-bound applications performing sequential + I/O: in fact, the longer these applications are served once + got access to the device, the higher the throughput is. + + - Let small budgets be eventually assigned to the queues + associated with time-sensitive applications (which typically + perform sporadic and short I/O), because, the smaller the + budget assigned to a queue waiting for service is, the sooner + B-WF2Q+ will serve that queue (Subsec 3.3 in [2]). + +- If several processes are competing for the device at the same time, + but all processes and groups have the same weight, then BFQ + guarantees the expected throughput distribution without ever idling + the device. It uses preemption instead. Throughput is then much + higher in this common scenario. + +- ioprio classes are served in strict priority order, i.e., + lower-priority queues are not served as long as there are + higher-priority queues. Among queues in the same class, the + bandwidth is distributed in proportion to the weight of each + queue. A very thin extra bandwidth is however guaranteed to + the Idle class, to prevent it from starving. + + +3. What are BFQ's tunable? +========================== + +The tunables back_seek-max, back_seek_penalty, fifo_expire_async and +fifo_expire_sync below are the same as in CFQ. Their description is +just copied from that for CFQ. Some considerations in the description +of slice_idle are copied from CFQ too. + +per-process ioprio and weight +----------------------------- + +Unless the cgroups interface is used (see "4. BFQ group scheduling"), +weights can be assigned to processes only indirectly, through I/O +priorities, and according to the relation: +weight = (IOPRIO_BE_NR - ioprio) * 10. + +Beware that, if low-latency is set, then BFQ automatically raises the +weight of the queues associated with interactive and soft real-time +applications. Unset this tunable if you need/want to control weights. + +slice_idle +---------- + +This parameter specifies how long BFQ should idle for next I/O +request, when certain sync BFQ queues become empty. By default +slice_idle is a non-zero value. Idling has a double purpose: boosting +throughput and making sure that the desired throughput distribution is +respected (see the description of how BFQ works, and, if needed, the +papers referred there). + +As for throughput, idling can be very helpful on highly seeky media +like single spindle SATA/SAS disks where we can cut down on overall +number of seeks and see improved throughput. + +Setting slice_idle to 0 will remove all the idling on queues and one +should see an overall improved throughput on faster storage devices +like multiple SATA/SAS disks in hardware RAID configuration. + +So depending on storage and workload, it might be useful to set +slice_idle=0. In general for SATA/SAS disks and software RAID of +SATA/SAS disks keeping slice_idle enabled should be useful. For any +configurations where there are multiple spindles behind single LUN +(Host based hardware RAID controller or for storage arrays), setting +slice_idle=0 might end up in better throughput and acceptable +latencies. + +Idling is however necessary to have service guarantees enforced in +case of differentiated weights or differentiated I/O-request lengths. +To see why, suppose that a given BFQ queue A must get several I/O +requests served for each request served for another queue B. Idling +ensures that, if A makes a new I/O request slightly after becoming +empty, then no request of B is dispatched in the middle, and thus A +does not lose the possibility to get more than one request dispatched +before the next request of B is dispatched. Note that idling +guarantees the desired differentiated treatment of queues only in +terms of I/O-request dispatches. To guarantee that the actual service +order then corresponds to the dispatch order, the strict_guarantees +tunable must be set too. + +There is an important flipside for idling: apart from the above cases +where it is beneficial also for throughput, idling can severely impact +throughput. One important case is random workload. Because of this +issue, BFQ tends to avoid idling as much as possible, when it is not +beneficial also for throughput. As a consequence of this behavior, and +of further issues described for the strict_guarantees tunable, +short-term service guarantees may be occasionally violated. And, in +some cases, these guarantees may be more important than guaranteeing +maximum throughput. For example, in video playing/streaming, a very +low drop rate may be more important than maximum throughput. In these +cases, consider setting the strict_guarantees parameter. + +strict_guarantees +----------------- + +If this parameter is set (default: unset), then BFQ + +- always performs idling when the in-service queue becomes empty; + +- forces the device to serve one I/O request at a time, by dispatching a + new request only if there is no outstanding request. + +In the presence of differentiated weights or I/O-request sizes, both +the above conditions are needed to guarantee that every BFQ queue +receives its allotted share of the bandwidth. The first condition is +needed for the reasons explained in the description of the slice_idle +tunable. The second condition is needed because all modern storage +devices reorder internally-queued requests, which may trivially break +the service guarantees enforced by the I/O scheduler. + +Setting strict_guarantees may evidently affect throughput. + +back_seek_max +------------- + +This specifies, given in Kbytes, the maximum "distance" for backward seeking. +The distance is the amount of space from the current head location to the +sectors that are backward in terms of distance. + +This parameter allows the scheduler to anticipate requests in the "backward" +direction and consider them as being the "next" if they are within this +distance from the current head location. + +back_seek_penalty +----------------- + +This parameter is used to compute the cost of backward seeking. If the +backward distance of request is just 1/back_seek_penalty from a "front" +request, then the seeking cost of two requests is considered equivalent. + +So scheduler will not bias toward one or the other request (otherwise scheduler +will bias toward front request). Default value of back_seek_penalty is 2. + +fifo_expire_async +----------------- + +This parameter is used to set the timeout of asynchronous requests. Default +value of this is 248ms. + +fifo_expire_sync +---------------- + +This parameter is used to set the timeout of synchronous requests. Default +value of this is 124ms. In case to favor synchronous requests over asynchronous +one, this value should be decreased relative to fifo_expire_async. + +low_latency +----------- + +This parameter is used to enable/disable BFQ's low latency mode. By +default, low latency mode is enabled. If enabled, interactive and soft +real-time applications are privileged and experience a lower latency, +as explained in more detail in the description of how BFQ works. + +DO NOT enable this mode if you need full control on bandwidth +distribution. In fact, if it is enabled, then BFQ automatically +increases the bandwidth share of privileged applications, as the main +means to guarantee a lower latency to them. + +timeout_sync +------------ + +Maximum amount of device time that can be given to a task (queue) once +it has been selected for service. On devices with costly seeks, +increasing this time usually increases maximum throughput. On the +opposite end, increasing this time coarsens the granularity of the +short-term bandwidth and latency guarantees, especially if the +following parameter is set to zero. + +max_budget +---------- + +Maximum amount of service, measured in sectors, that can be provided +to a BFQ queue once it is set in service (of course within the limits +of the above timeout). According to what said in the description of +the algorithm, larger values increase the throughput in proportion to +the percentage of sequential I/O requests issued. The price of larger +values is that they coarsen the granularity of short-term bandwidth +and latency guarantees. + +The default value is 0, which enables auto-tuning: BFQ sets max_budget +to the maximum number of sectors that can be served during +timeout_sync, according to the estimated peak rate. + +weights +------- + +Read-only parameter, used to show the weights of the currently active +BFQ queues. + + +wr_ tunables +------------ + +BFQ exports a few parameters to control/tune the behavior of +low-latency heuristics. + +wr_coeff + +Factor by which the weight of a weight-raised queue is multiplied. If +the queue is deemed soft real-time, then the weight is further +multiplied by an additional, constant factor. + +wr_max_time + +Maximum duration of a weight-raising period for an interactive task +(ms). If set to zero (default value), then this value is computed +automatically, as a function of the peak rate of the device. In any +case, when the value of this parameter is read, it always reports the +current duration, regardless of whether it has been set manually or +computed automatically. + +wr_max_softrt_rate + +Maximum service rate below which a queue is deemed to be associated +with a soft real-time application, and is then weight-raised +accordingly (sectors/sec). + +wr_min_idle_time + +Minimum idle period after which interactive weight-raising may be +reactivated for a queue (in ms). + +wr_rt_max_time + +Maximum weight-raising duration for soft real-time queues (in ms). The +start time from which this duration is considered is automatically +moved forward if the queue is detected to be still soft real-time +before the current soft real-time weight-raising period finishes. + +wr_min_inter_arr_async + +Minimum period between I/O request arrivals after which weight-raising +may be reactivated for an already busy async queue (in ms). + + +4. Group scheduling with BFQ +============================ + +BFQ supports both cgroups-v1 and cgroups-v2 io controllers, namely +blkio and io. In particular, BFQ supports weight-based proportional +share. To activate cgroups support, set BFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED. + +4-1 Service guarantees provided +------------------------------- + +With BFQ, proportional share means true proportional share of the +device bandwidth, according to group weights. For example, a group +with weight 200 gets twice the bandwidth, and not just twice the time, +of a group with weight 100. + +BFQ supports hierarchies (group trees) of any depth. Bandwidth is +distributed among groups and processes in the expected way: for each +group, the children of the group share the whole bandwidth of the +group in proportion to their weights. In particular, this implies +that, for each leaf group, every process of the group receives the +same share of the whole group bandwidth, unless the ioprio of the +process is modified. + +The resource-sharing guarantee for a group may partially or totally +switch from bandwidth to time, if providing bandwidth guarantees to +the group lowers the throughput too much. This switch occurs on a +per-process basis: if a process of a leaf group causes throughput loss +if served in such a way to receive its share of the bandwidth, then +BFQ switches back to just time-based proportional share for that +process. + +4-2 Interface +------------- + +To get proportional sharing of bandwidth with BFQ for a given device, +BFQ must of course be the active scheduler for that device. + +Within each group directory, the names of the files associated with +BFQ-specific cgroup parameters and stats begin with the "bfq." +prefix. So, with cgroups-v1 or cgroups-v2, the full prefix for +BFQ-specific files is "blkio.bfq." or "io.bfq." For example, the group +parameter to set the weight of a group with BFQ is blkio.bfq.weight +or io.bfq.weight. + +Parameters to set +----------------- + +For each group, there is only the following parameter to set. + +weight (namely blkio.bfq.weight or io.bfq-weight): the weight of the +group inside its parent. Available values: 1..10000 (default 100). The +linear mapping between ioprio and weights, described at the beginning +of the tunable section, is still valid, but all weights higher than +IOPRIO_BE_NR*10 are mapped to ioprio 0. + +Recall that, if low-latency is set, then BFQ automatically raises the +weight of the queues associated with interactive and soft real-time +applications.

This solution not ideal, though. On 32-bit +systems, memory from vmalloc() must be mapped into a relatively small address +space; it's easy to run out. On SMP systems, the page table changes required +by vmalloc() allocations can require expensive cross-processor interrupts on +all CPUs. And, on all systems, use of space in the vmalloc() range increases +pressure on the translation lookaside buffer (TLB), reducing the performance +of the system. + +In many cases, the need for memory from vmalloc() can be eliminated by piecing +together an array from smaller parts; the flexible array library exists to make +this task easier. + +A flexible array holds an arbitrary (within limits) number of fixed-sized +objects, accessed via an integer index. Sparse arrays are handled +reasonably well. Only single-page allocations are made, so memory +allocation failures should be relatively rare. The down sides are that the +arrays cannot be indexed directly, individual object size cannot exceed the +system page size, and putting data into a flexible array requires a copy +operation. It's also worth noting that flexible arrays do no internal +locking at all; if concurrent access to an array is possible, then the +caller must arrange for appropriate mutual exclusion. + +The creation of a flexible array is done with :c:func:`flex_array_alloc()`:: + + #include <linux/flex_array.h> + + struct flex_array *flex_array_alloc(int element_size, + unsigned int total, + gfp_t flags); + +The individual object size is provided by ``element_size``, while total is the +maximum number of objects which can be stored in the array. The flags +argument is passed directly to the internal memory allocation calls. With +the current code, using flags to ask for high memory is likely to lead to +notably unpleasant side effects. + +It is also possible to define flexible arrays at compile time with:: + + DEFINE_FLEX_ARRAY(name, element_size, total); + +This macro will result in a definition of an array with the given name; the +element size and total will be checked for validity at compile time. + +Storing data into a flexible array is accomplished with a call to +:c:func:`flex_array_put()`:: + + int flex_array_put(struct flex_array *array, unsigned int element_nr, + void *src, gfp_t flags); + +This call will copy the data from src into the array, in the position +indicated by ``element_nr`` (which must be less than the maximum specified when +the array was created). If any memory allocations must be performed, flags +will be used. The return value is zero on success, a negative error code +otherwise. + +There might possibly be a need to store data into a flexible array while +running in some sort of atomic context; in this situation, sleeping in the +memory allocator would be a bad thing. That can be avoided by using +``GFP_ATOMIC`` for the flags value, but, often, there is a better way. The +trick is to ensure that any needed memory allocations are done before +entering atomic context, using :c:func:`flex_array_prealloc()`:: + + int flex_array_prealloc(struct flex_array *array, unsigned int start, + unsigned int nr_elements, gfp_t flags); + +This function will ensure that memory for the elements indexed in the range +defined by ``start`` and ``nr_elements`` has been allocated. Thereafter, a +``flex_array_put()`` call on an element in that range is guaranteed not to +block. + +Getting data back out of the array is done with :c:func:`flex_array_get()`:: + + void *flex_array_get(struct flex_array *fa, unsigned int element_nr); + +The return value is a pointer to the data element, or NULL if that +particular element has never been allocated. + +Note that it is possible to get back a valid pointer for an element which +has never been stored in the array. Memory for array elements is allocated +one page at a time; a single allocation could provide memory for several +adjacent elements. Flexible array elements are normally initialized to the +value ``FLEX_ARRAY_FREE`` (defined as 0x6c in <linux/poison.h>), so errors +involving that number probably result from use of unstored array entries. +Note that, if array elements are allocated with ``__GFP_ZERO``, they will be +initialized to zero and this poisoning will not happen. + +Individual elements in the array can be cleared with +:c:func:`flex_array_clear()`:: + + int flex_array_clear(struct flex_array *array, unsigned int element_nr); + +This function will set the given element to ``FLEX_ARRAY_FREE`` and return +zero. If storage for the indicated element is not allocated for the array, +``flex_array_clear()`` will return ``-EINVAL`` instead. Note that clearing an +element does not release the storage associated with it; to reduce the +allocated size of an array, call :c:func:`flex_array_shrink()`:: + + int flex_array_shrink(struct flex_array *array); + +The return value will be the number of pages of memory actually freed. +This function works by scanning the array for pages containing nothing but +``FLEX_ARRAY_FREE`` bytes, so (1) it can be expensive, and (2) it will not work +if the array's pages are allocated with ``__GFP_ZERO``. + +It is possible to remove all elements of an array with a call to +:c:func:`flex_array_free_parts()`:: + + void flex_array_free_parts(struct flex_array *array); + +This call frees all elements, but leaves the array itself in place. +Freeing the entire array is done with :c:func:`flex_array_free()`:: + + void flex_array_free(struct flex_array *array); + +As of this writing, there are no users of flexible arrays in the mainline +kernel.

It is able to +handle all the different types of interrupt controller hardware. Device +drivers use generic API functions to request, enable, disable and free +interrupts. The drivers do not have to know anything about interrupt +hardware details, so they can be used on different platforms without +code changes. + +This documentation is provided to developers who want to implement an +interrupt subsystem based for their architecture, with the help of the +generic IRQ handling layer. + +Rationale +========= + +The original implementation of interrupt handling in Linux uses the +:c:func:`__do_IRQ` super-handler, which is able to deal with every type of +interrupt logic. + +Originally, Russell King identified different types of handlers to build +a quite universal set for the ARM interrupt handler implementation in +Linux 2.5/2.6. He distinguished between: + +- Level type + +- Edge type + +- Simple type + +During the implementation we identified another type: + +- Fast EOI type + +In the SMP world of the :c:func:`__do_IRQ` super-handler another type was +identified: + +- Per CPU type + +This split implementation of high-level IRQ handlers allows us to +optimize the flow of the interrupt handling for each specific interrupt +type. This reduces complexity in that particular code path and allows +the optimized handling of a given type. + +The original general IRQ implementation used hw_interrupt_type +structures and their ``->ack``, ``->end`` [etc.] callbacks to differentiate +the flow control in the super-handler. This leads to a mix of flow logic +and low-level hardware logic, and it also leads to unnecessary code +duplication: for example in i386, there is an ``ioapic_level_irq`` and an +``ioapic_edge_irq`` IRQ-type which share many of the low-level details but +have different flow handling. + +A more natural abstraction is the clean separation of the 'irq flow' and +the 'chip details'. + +Analysing a couple of architecture's IRQ subsystem implementations +reveals that most of them can use a generic set of 'irq flow' methods +and only need to add the chip-level specific code. The separation is +also valuable for (sub)architectures which need specific quirks in the +IRQ flow itself but not in the chip details - and thus provides a more +transparent IRQ subsystem design. + +Each interrupt descriptor is assigned its own high-level flow handler, +which is normally one of the generic implementations. (This high-level +flow handler implementation also makes it simple to provide +demultiplexing handlers which can be found in embedded platforms on +various architectures.) + +The separation makes the generic interrupt handling layer more flexible +and extensible. For example, an (sub)architecture can use a generic +IRQ-flow implementation for 'level type' interrupts and add a +(sub)architecture specific 'edge type' implementation. + +To make the transition to the new model easier and prevent the breakage +of existing implementations, the :c:func:`__do_IRQ` super-handler is still +available. This leads to a kind of duality for the time being. Over time +the new model should be used in more and more architectures, as it +enables smaller and cleaner IRQ subsystems. It's deprecated for three +years now and about to be removed. + +Known Bugs And Assumptions +========================== + +None (knock on wood). + +Abstraction layers +================== + +There are three main levels of abstraction in the interrupt code: + +1. High-level driver API + +2. High-level IRQ flow handlers + +3. Chip-level hardware encapsulation + +Interrupt control flow +---------------------- + +Each interrupt is described by an interrupt descriptor structure +irq_desc. The interrupt is referenced by an 'unsigned int' numeric +value which selects the corresponding interrupt description structure in +the descriptor structures array. The descriptor structure contains +status information and pointers to the interrupt flow method and the +interrupt chip structure which are assigned to this interrupt. + +Whenever an interrupt triggers, the low-level architecture code calls +into the generic interrupt code by calling :c:func:`desc->handle_irq`. This +high-level IRQ handling function only uses desc->irq_data.chip +primitives referenced by the assigned chip descriptor structure. + +High-level Driver API +--------------------- + +The high-level Driver API consists of following functions: + +- :c:func:`request_irq` + +- :c:func:`free_irq` + +- :c:func:`disable_irq` + +- :c:func:`enable_irq` + +- :c:func:`disable_irq_nosync` (SMP only) + +- :c:func:`synchronize_irq` (SMP only) + +- :c:func:`irq_set_irq_type` + +- :c:func:`irq_set_irq_wake` + +- :c:func:`irq_set_handler_data` + +- :c:func:`irq_set_chip` + +- :c:func:`irq_set_chip_data` + +See the autogenerated function documentation for details. + +High-level IRQ flow handlers +---------------------------- + +The generic layer provides a set of pre-defined irq-flow methods: + +- :c:func:`handle_level_irq` + +- :c:func:`handle_edge_irq` + +- :c:func:`handle_fasteoi_irq` + +- :c:func:`handle_simple_irq` + +- :c:func:`handle_percpu_irq` + +- :c:func:`handle_edge_eoi_irq` + +- :c:func:`handle_bad_irq` + +The interrupt flow handlers (either pre-defined or architecture +specific) are assigned to specific interrupts by the architecture either +during bootup or during device initialization. + +Default flow implementations +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Helper functions +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The helper functions call the chip primitives and are used by the +default flow implementations.

If an architecture +needs to implement quirks on the 'flow' level then it can do so by +overriding the high-level irq-flow handler. + +Delayed interrupt disable +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This per interrupt selectable feature, which was introduced by Russell +King in the ARM interrupt implementation, does not mask an interrupt at +the hardware level when :c:func:`disable_irq` is called. The interrupt is kept +enabled and is masked in the flow handler when an interrupt event +happens. This prevents losing edge interrupts on hardware which does not +store an edge interrupt event while the interrupt is disabled at the +hardware level. When an interrupt arrives while the IRQ_DISABLED flag +is set, then the interrupt is masked at the hardware level and the +IRQ_PENDING bit is set. When the interrupt is re-enabled by +:c:func:`enable_irq` the pending bit is checked and if it is set, the interrupt +is resent either via hardware or by a software resend mechanism. (It's +necessary to enable CONFIG_HARDIRQS_SW_RESEND when you want to use +the delayed interrupt disable feature and your hardware is not capable +of retriggering an interrupt.) The delayed interrupt disable is not +configurable. + +Chip-level hardware encapsulation +--------------------------------- + +The chip-level hardware descriptor structure :c:type:`irq_chip` contains all +the direct chip relevant functions, which can be utilized by the irq flow +implementations. + +- ``irq_ack`` + +- ``irq_mask_ack`` - Optional, recommended for performance + +- ``irq_mask`` + +- ``irq_unmask`` + +- ``irq_eoi`` - Optional, required for EOI flow handlers + +- ``irq_retrigger`` - Optional + +- ``irq_set_type`` - Optional + +- ``irq_set_wake`` - Optional + +These primitives are strictly intended to mean what they say: ack means +ACK, masking means masking of an IRQ line, etc. It is up to the flow +handler(s) to use these basic units of low-level functionality. + +__do_IRQ entry point +==================== + +The original implementation :c:func:`__do_IRQ` was an alternative entry point +for all types of interrupts. It no longer exists. + +This handler turned out to be not suitable for all interrupt hardware +and was therefore reimplemented with split functionality for +edge/level/simple/percpu interrupts. This is not only a functional +optimization. It also shortens code paths for interrupts. + +Locking on SMP +============== + +The locking of chip registers is up to the architecture that defines the +chip primitives.

What Is A CPUFreq Governor? -============================== - -Most cpufreq drivers (except the intel_pstate and longrun) or even most -cpu frequency scaling algorithms only allow the CPU frequency to be set -to predefined fixed values. In order to offer dynamic frequency -scaling, the cpufreq core must be able to tell these drivers of a -"target frequency".

For set_policy drivers, all stays the same, -though. - -How to decide what frequency within the CPUfreq policy should be used? -That's done using "cpufreq governors". - -Basically, it's the following flow graph: - -CPU can be set to switch independently | CPU can only be set - within specific "limits" | to specific frequencies - - "CPUfreq policy" - consists of frequency limits (policy->{min,max}) - and CPUfreq governor to be used - / \ - / \ - / the cpufreq governor decides - / (dynamically or statically) - / what target_freq to set within - / the limits of policy->{min,max} - / \ - / \ - Using the ->setpolicy call, Using the ->target/target_index/fast_switch call, - the limits and the the frequency closest - "policy" is set. to target_freq is set. - It is assured that it - is within policy->{min,max} - - -2. Governors In the Linux Kernel -================================ - -2.1 Performance ---------------- - -The CPUfreq governor "performance" sets the CPU statically to the -highest frequency within the borders of scaling_min_freq and -scaling_max_freq. - - -2.2 Powersave -------------- - -The CPUfreq governor "powersave" sets the CPU statically to the -lowest frequency within the borders of scaling_min_freq and -scaling_max_freq. - - -2.3 Userspace -------------- - -The CPUfreq governor "userspace" allows the user, or any userspace -program running with UID "root", to set the CPU to a specific frequency -by making a sysfs file "scaling_setspeed" available in the CPU-device -directory. - - -2.4 Ondemand ------------- - -The CPUfreq governor "ondemand" sets the CPU frequency depending on the -current system load. Load estimation is triggered by the scheduler -through the update_util_data->func hook; when triggered, cpufreq checks -the CPU-usage statistics over the last period and the governor sets the -CPU accordingly. The CPU must have the capability to switch the -frequency very quickly. - -Sysfs files: - -* sampling_rate: - - Measured in uS (10^-6 seconds), this is how often you want the kernel - to look at the CPU usage and to make decisions on what to do about the - frequency. Typically this is set to values of around '10000' or more. - It's default value is (cmp. with users-guide.txt): transition_latency - * 1000. Be aware that transition latency is in ns and sampling_rate - is in us, so you get the same sysfs value by default. Sampling rate - should always get adjusted considering the transition latency to set - the sampling rate 750 times as high as the transition latency in the - bash (as said, 1000 is default), do: - - $ echo `$(($(cat cpuinfo_transition_latency) * 750 / 1000)) > ondemand/sampling_rate - -* sampling_rate_min: - - The sampling rate is limited by the HW transition latency: - transition_latency * 100 - - Or by kernel restrictions: - - If CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON is set, the limit is 10ms fixed. - - If CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON is not set or nohz=off boot parameter is - used, the limits depend on the CONFIG_HZ option: - HZ=1000: min=20000us (20ms) - HZ=250: min=80000us (80ms) - HZ=100: min=200000us (200ms) - - The highest value of kernel and HW latency restrictions is shown and - used as the minimum sampling rate. - -* up_threshold: - - This defines what the average CPU usage between the samplings of - 'sampling_rate' needs to be for the kernel to make a decision on - whether it should increase the frequency. For example when it is set - to its default value of '95' it means that between the checking - intervals the CPU needs to be on average more than 95% in use to then - decide that the CPU frequency needs to be increased. - -* ignore_nice_load: - - This parameter takes a value of '0' or '1'. When set to '0' (its - default), all processes are counted towards the 'cpu utilisation' - value. When set to '1', the processes that are run with a 'nice' - value will not count (and thus be ignored) in the overall usage - calculation. This is useful if you are running a CPU intensive - calculation on your laptop that you do not care how long it takes to - complete as you can 'nice' it and prevent it from taking part in the - deciding process of whether to increase your CPU frequency. - -* sampling_down_factor: - - This parameter controls the rate at which the kernel makes a decision - on when to decrease the frequency while running at top speed. When set - to 1 (the default) decisions to reevaluate load are made at the same - interval regardless of current clock speed. But when set to greater - than 1 (e.g. 100) it acts as a multiplier for the scheduling interval - for reevaluating load when the CPU is at its top speed due to high - load. This improves performance by reducing the overhead of load - evaluation and helping the CPU stay at its top speed when truly busy, - rather than shifting back and forth in speed. This tunable has no - effect on behavior at lower speeds/lower CPU loads. - -* powersave_bias: - - This parameter takes a value between 0 to 1000. It defines the - percentage (times 10) value of the target frequency that will be - shaved off of the target. For example, when set to 100 -- 10%, when - ondemand governor would have targeted 1000 MHz, it will target - 1000 MHz - (10% of 1000 MHz) = 900 MHz instead. This is set to 0 - (disabled) by default. - - When AMD frequency sensitivity powersave bias driver -- - drivers/cpufreq/amd_freq_sensitivity.c is loaded, this parameter - defines the workload frequency sensitivity threshold in which a lower - frequency is chosen instead of ondemand governor's original target. - The frequency sensitivity is a hardware reported (on AMD Family 16h - Processors and above) value between 0 to 100% that tells software how - the performance of the workload running on a CPU will change when - frequency changes. A workload with sensitivity of 0% (memory/IO-bound) - will not perform any better on higher core frequency, whereas a - workload with sensitivity of 100% (CPU-bound) will perform better - higher the frequency. When the driver is loaded, this is set to 400 by - default -- for CPUs running workloads with sensitivity value below - 40%, a lower frequency is chosen. Unloading the driver or writing 0 - will disable this feature. - - -2.5 Conservative ----------------- - -The CPUfreq governor "conservative", much like the "ondemand" -governor, sets the CPU frequency depending on the current usage. It -differs in behaviour in that it gracefully increases and decreases the -CPU speed rather than jumping to max speed the moment there is any load -on the CPU. This behaviour is more suitable in a battery powered -environment. The governor is tweaked in the same manner as the -"ondemand" governor through sysfs with the addition of: - -* freq_step: - - This describes what percentage steps the cpu freq should be increased - and decreased smoothly by. By default the cpu frequency will increase - in 5% chunks of your maximum cpu frequency. You can change this value - to anywhere between 0 and 100 where '0' will effectively lock your CPU - at a speed regardless of its load whilst '100' will, in theory, make - it behave identically to the "ondemand" governor. - -* down_threshold: - - Same as the 'up_threshold' found for the "ondemand" governor but for - the opposite direction. For example when set to its default value of - '20' it means that if the CPU usage needs to be below 20% between - samples to have the frequency decreased. - -* sampling_down_factor: - - Similar functionality as in "ondemand" governor. But in - "conservative", it controls the rate at which the kernel makes a - decision on when to decrease the frequency while running in any speed. - Load for frequency increase is still evaluated every sampling rate. - - -2.6 Schedutil -------------- - -The "schedutil" governor aims at better integration with the Linux -kernel scheduler. Load estimation is achieved through the scheduler's -Per-Entity Load Tracking (PELT) mechanism, which also provides -information about the recent load [1]. This governor currently does -load based DVFS only for tasks managed by CFS. RT and DL scheduler tasks -are always run at the highest frequency. Unlike all the other -governors, the code is located under the kernel/sched/ directory. - -Sysfs files: - -* rate_limit_us: - - This contains a value in microseconds. The governor waits for - rate_limit_us time before reevaluating the load again, after it has - evaluated the load once. - -For an in-depth comparison with the other governors refer to [2]. - - -3. The Governor Interface in the CPUfreq Core -============================================= - -A new governor must register itself with the CPUfreq core using -"cpufreq_register_governor". The struct cpufreq_governor, which has to -be passed to that function, must contain the following values: - -governor->name - A unique name for this governor. -governor->owner - .THIS_MODULE for the governor module (if appropriate). - -plus a set of hooks to the functions implementing the governor's logic. - -The CPUfreq governor may call the CPU processor driver using one of -these two functions: - -int cpufreq_driver_target(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, - unsigned int target_freq, - unsigned int relation); - -int __cpufreq_driver_target(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, - unsigned int target_freq, - unsigned int relation); - -target_freq must be within policy->min and policy->max, of course. -What's the difference between these two functions? When your governor is -in a direct code path of a call to governor callbacks, like -governor->start(), the policy->rwsem is still held in the cpufreq core, -and there's no need to lock it again (in fact, this would cause a -deadlock). So use __cpufreq_driver_target only in these cases. In all -other cases (for example, when there's a "daemonized" function that -wakes up every second), use cpufreq_driver_target to take policy->rwsem -before the command is passed to the cpufreq driver. - -4.

Linux users with +embedded systems are more likely to have USB peripheral hardware. To +distinguish drivers running inside such hardware from the more familiar +Linux "USB device drivers", which are host side proxies for the real USB +devices, a different term is used: the drivers inside the peripherals +are "USB gadget drivers". In USB protocol interactions, the device +driver is the master (or "client driver") and the gadget driver is the +slave (or "function driver"). + +The gadget API resembles the host side Linux-USB API in that both use +queues of request objects to package I/O buffers, and those requests may +be submitted or canceled. They share common definitions for the standard +USB *Chapter 9* messages, structures, and constants. Also, both APIs +bind and unbind drivers to devices. The APIs differ in detail, since the +host side's current URB framework exposes a number of implementation +details and assumptions that are inappropriate for a gadget API. While +the model for control transfers and configuration management is +necessarily different (one side is a hardware-neutral master, the other +is a hardware-aware slave), the endpoint I/0 API used here should also +be usable for an overhead-reduced host side API. + +Structure of Gadget Drivers +=========================== + +A system running inside a USB peripheral normally has at least three +layers inside the kernel to handle USB protocol processing, and may have +additional layers in user space code. The ``gadget`` API is used by the +middle layer to interact with the lowest level (which directly handles +hardware). + +In Linux, from the bottom up, these layers are: + +*USB Controller Driver* + This is the lowest software level. It is the only layer that talks + to hardware, through registers, fifos, dma, irqs, and the like. The + ``<linux/usb/gadget.h>`` API abstracts the peripheral controller + endpoint hardware. That hardware is exposed through endpoint + objects, which accept streams of IN/OUT buffers, and through + callbacks that interact with gadget drivers. Since normal USB + devices only have one upstream port, they only have one of these + drivers. The controller driver can support any number of different + gadget drivers, but only one of them can be used at a time. + + Examples of such controller hardware include the PCI-based NetChip + 2280 USB 2.0 high speed controller, the SA-11x0 or PXA-25x UDC + (found within many PDAs), and a variety of other products. + +*Gadget Driver* + The lower boundary of this driver implements hardware-neutral USB + functions, using calls to the controller driver. Because such + hardware varies widely in capabilities and restrictions, and is used + in embedded environments where space is at a premium, the gadget + driver is often configured at compile time to work with endpoints + supported by one particular controller. Gadget drivers may be + portable to several different controllers, using conditional + compilation. (Recent kernels substantially simplify the work + involved in supporting new hardware, by *autoconfiguring* endpoints + automatically for many bulk-oriented drivers.) Gadget driver + responsibilities include: + + - handling setup requests (ep0 protocol responses) possibly + including class-specific functionality + + - returning configuration and string descriptors + + - (re)setting configurations and interface altsettings, including + enabling and configuring endpoints + + - handling life cycle events, such as managing bindings to + hardware, USB suspend/resume, remote wakeup, and disconnection + from the USB host. + + - managing IN and OUT transfers on all currently enabled endpoints + + Such drivers may be modules of proprietary code, although that + approach is discouraged in the Linux community. + +*Upper Level* + Most gadget drivers have an upper boundary that connects to some + Linux driver or framework in Linux. Through that boundary flows the + data which the gadget driver produces and/or consumes through + protocol transfers over USB. Examples include: + + - user mode code, using generic (gadgetfs) or application specific + files in ``/dev`` + + - networking subsystem (for network gadgets, like the CDC Ethernet + Model gadget driver) + + - data capture drivers, perhaps video4Linux or a scanner driver; or + test and measurement hardware. + + - input subsystem (for HID gadgets) + + - sound subsystem (for audio gadgets) + + - file system (for PTP gadgets) + + - block i/o subsystem (for usb-storage gadgets) + + - ... and more + +*Additional Layers* + Other layers may exist. These could include kernel layers, such as + network protocol stacks, as well as user mode applications building + on standard POSIX system call APIs such as ``open()``, ``close()``, + ``read()`` and ``write()``. On newer systems, POSIX Async I/O calls may + be an option. Such user mode code will not necessarily be subject to + the GNU General Public License (GPL). + +OTG-capable systems will also need to include a standard Linux-USB host +side stack, with ``usbcore``, one or more *Host Controller Drivers* +(HCDs), *USB Device Drivers* to support the OTG "Targeted Peripheral +List", and so forth. There will also be an *OTG Controller Driver*, +which is visible to gadget and device driver developers only indirectly. +That helps the host and device side USB controllers implement the two +new OTG protocols (HNP and SRP). Roles switch (host to peripheral, or +vice versa) using HNP during USB suspend processing, and SRP can be +viewed as a more battery-friendly kind of device wakeup protocol. + +Over time, reusable utilities are evolving to help make some gadget +driver tasks simpler. For example, building configuration descriptors +from vectors of descriptors for the configurations interfaces and +endpoints is now automated, and many drivers now use autoconfiguration +to choose hardware endpoints and initialize their descriptors. A +potential example of particular interest is code implementing standard +USB-IF protocols for HID, networking, storage, or audio classes. Some +developers are interested in KDB or KGDB hooks, to let target hardware +be remotely debugged. Most such USB protocol code doesn't need to be +hardware-specific, any more than network protocols like X11, HTTP, or +NFS are. Such gadget-side interface drivers should eventually be +combined, to implement composite devices. + +Kernel Mode Gadget API +====================== + +Gadget drivers declare themselves through a struct +:c:type:`usb_gadget_driver`, which is responsible for most parts of enumeration +for a struct :c:type:`usb_gadget`. The response to a set_configuration usually +involves enabling one or more of the struct :c:type:`usb_ep` objects exposed by +the gadget, and submitting one or more struct :c:type:`usb_request` buffers to +transfer data. Understand those four data types, and their operations, +and you will understand how this API works. + +.. Note:: + + Other than the "Chapter 9" data types, most of the significant data + types and functions are described here. + + However, some relevant information is likely omitted from what you + are reading. One example of such information is endpoint + autoconfiguration. You'll have to read the header file, and use + example source code (such as that for "Gadget Zero"), to fully + understand the API. + + The part of the API implementing some basic driver capabilities is + specific to the version of the Linux kernel that's in use. The 2.6 + and upper kernel versions include a *driver model* framework that has + no analogue on earlier kernels; so those parts of the gadget API are + not fully portable. (They are implemented on 2.4 kernels, but in a + different way.) The driver model state is another part of this API that is + ignored by the kerneldoc tools. + +The core API does not expose every possible hardware feature, only the +most widely available ones. There are significant hardware features, +such as device-to-device DMA (without temporary storage in a memory +buffer) that would be added using hardware-specific APIs. + +This API allows drivers to use conditional compilation to handle +endpoint capabilities of different hardware, but doesn't require that. +Hardware tends to have arbitrary restrictions, relating to transfer +types, addressing, packet sizes, buffering, and availability. As a rule, +such differences only matter for "endpoint zero" logic that handles +device configuration and management. The API supports limited run-time +detection of capabilities, through naming conventions for endpoints. +Many drivers will be able to at least partially autoconfigure +themselves. In particular, driver init sections will often have endpoint +autoconfiguration logic that scans the hardware's list of endpoints to +find ones matching the driver requirements (relying on those +conventions), to eliminate some of the most common reasons for +conditional compilation. + +Like the Linux-USB host side API, this API exposes the "chunky" nature +of USB messages: I/O requests are in terms of one or more "packets", and +packet boundaries are visible to drivers. Compared to RS-232 serial +protocols, USB resembles synchronous protocols like HDLC (N bytes per +frame, multipoint addressing, host as the primary station and devices as +secondary stations) more than asynchronous ones (tty style: 8 data bits +per frame, no parity, one stop bit). So for example the controller +drivers won't buffer two single byte writes into a single two-byte USB +IN packet, although gadget drivers may do so when they implement +protocols where packet boundaries (and "short packets") are not +significant. + +Driver Life Cycle +----------------- + +Gadget drivers make endpoint I/O requests to hardware without needing to +know many details of the hardware, but driver setup/configuration code +needs to handle some differences. Use the API like this: + +1. Register a driver for the particular device side usb controller + hardware, such as the net2280 on PCI (USB 2.0), sa11x0 or pxa25x as + found in Linux PDAs, and so on. At this point the device is logically + in the USB ch9 initial state (``attached``), drawing no power and not + usable (since it does not yet support enumeration). Any host should + not see the device, since it's not activated the data line pullup + used by the host to detect a device, even if VBUS power is available. + +2. Register a gadget driver that implements some higher level device + function. That will then bind() to a :c:type:`usb_gadget`, which activates + the data line pullup sometime after detecting VBUS. + +3. The hardware driver can now start enumerating. The steps it handles + are to accept USB ``power`` and ``set_address`` requests. Other steps are + handled by the gadget driver. If the gadget driver module is unloaded + before the host starts to enumerate, steps before step 7 are skipped. + +4. The gadget driver's ``setup()`` call returns usb descriptors, based both + on what the bus interface hardware provides and on the functionality + being implemented. That can involve alternate settings or + configurations, unless the hardware prevents such operation. For OTG + devices, each configuration descriptor includes an OTG descriptor. + +5. The gadget driver handles the last step of enumeration, when the USB + host issues a ``set_configuration`` call. It enables all endpoints used + in that configuration, with all interfaces in their default settings. + That involves using a list of the hardware's endpoints, enabling each + endpoint according to its descriptor. It may also involve using + ``usb_gadget_vbus_draw`` to let more power be drawn from VBUS, as + allowed by that configuration. For OTG devices, setting a + configuration may also involve reporting HNP capabilities through a + user interface. + +6. Do real work and perform data transfers, possibly involving changes + to interface settings or switching to new configurations, until the + device is disconnect()ed from the host.

Note that at this lowest level there are no policies about +how ep0 configuration logic is implemented, except that it should obey +USB specifications. Such issues are in the domain of gadget drivers, +including knowing about implementation constraints imposed by some USB +controllers or understanding that composite devices might happen to be +built by integrating reusable components. + +Note that the lifecycle above can be slightly different for OTG devices. +Other than providing an additional OTG descriptor in each configuration, +only the HNP-related differences are particularly visible to driver +code. They involve reporting requirements during the ``SET_CONFIGURATION`` +request, and the option to invoke HNP during some suspend callbacks. +Also, SRP changes the semantics of ``usb_gadget_wakeup`` slightly. + +USB 2.0 Chapter 9 Types and Constants +------------------------------------- + +Gadget drivers rely on common USB structures and constants defined in +the :ref:`linux/usb/ch9.h <usb_chapter9>` header file, which is standard in +Linux 2.6+ kernels. These are the same types and constants used by host side +drivers (and usbcore). + +Core Objects and Methods +------------------------ + +These are declared in ``<linux/usb/gadget.h>``, and are used by gadget +drivers to interact with USB peripheral controller drivers. + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/usb/gadget.h + :internal: + +Optional Utilities +------------------ + +The core API is sufficient for writing a USB Gadget Driver, but some +optional utilities are provided to simplify common tasks. These +utilities include endpoint autoconfiguration. + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/gadget/usbstring.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/gadget/config.c + :export: + +Composite Device Framework +-------------------------- + +The core API is sufficient for writing drivers for composite USB devices +(with more than one function in a given configuration), and also +multi-configuration devices (also more than one function, but not +necessarily sharing a given configuration). There is however an optional +framework which makes it easier to reuse and combine functions. + +Devices using this framework provide a struct :c:type:`usb_composite_driver`, +which in turn provides one or more struct :c:type:`usb_configuration` +instances. Each such configuration includes at least one struct +:c:type:`usb_function`, which packages a user visible role such as "network +link" or "mass storage device". Management functions may also exist, +such as "Device Firmware Upgrade". + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/usb/composite.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/gadget/composite.c + :export: + +Composite Device Functions +-------------------------- + +At this writing, a few of the current gadget drivers have been converted +to this framework. Near-term plans include converting all of them, +except for ``gadgetfs``. + +Peripheral Controller Drivers +============================= + +The first hardware supporting this API was the NetChip 2280 controller, +which supports USB 2.0 high speed and is based on PCI. This is the +``net2280`` driver module. The driver supports Linux kernel versions 2.4 +and 2.6; contact NetChip Technologies for development boards and product +information. + +Other hardware working in the ``gadget`` framework includes: Intel's PXA +25x and IXP42x series processors (``pxa2xx_udc``), Toshiba TC86c001 +"Goku-S" (``goku_udc``), Renesas SH7705/7727 (``sh_udc``), MediaQ 11xx +(``mq11xx_udc``), Hynix HMS30C7202 (``h7202_udc``), National 9303/4 +(``n9604_udc``), Texas Instruments OMAP (``omap_udc``), Sharp LH7A40x +(``lh7a40x_udc``), and more. Most of those are full speed controllers. + +At this writing, there are people at work on drivers in this framework +for several other USB device controllers, with plans to make many of +them be widely available. + +A partial USB simulator, the ``dummy_hcd`` driver, is available. It can +act like a net2280, a pxa25x, or an sa11x0 in terms of available +endpoints and device speeds; and it simulates control, bulk, and to some +extent interrupt transfers. That lets you develop some parts of a gadget +driver on a normal PC, without any special hardware, and perhaps with +the assistance of tools such as GDB running with User Mode Linux. At +least one person has expressed interest in adapting that approach, +hooking it up to a simulator for a microcontroller. Such simulators can +help debug subsystems where the runtime hardware is unfriendly to +software development, or is not yet available. + +Support for other controllers is expected to be developed and +contributed over time, as this driver framework evolves. + +Gadget Drivers +============== + +In addition to *Gadget Zero* (used primarily for testing and development +with drivers for usb controller hardware), other gadget drivers exist. + +There's an ``ethernet`` gadget driver, which implements one of the most +useful *Communications Device Class* (CDC) models. One of the standards +for cable modem interoperability even specifies the use of this ethernet +model as one of two mandatory options. Gadgets using this code look to a +USB host as if they're an Ethernet adapter. It provides access to a +network where the gadget's CPU is one host, which could easily be +bridging, routing, or firewalling access to other networks. Since some +hardware can't fully implement the CDC Ethernet requirements, this +driver also implements a "good parts only" subset of CDC Ethernet. (That +subset doesn't advertise itself as CDC Ethernet, to avoid creating +problems.) + +Support for Microsoft's ``RNDIS`` protocol has been contributed by +Pengutronix and Auerswald GmbH. This is like CDC Ethernet, but it runs +on more slightly USB hardware (but less than the CDC subset). However, +its main claim to fame is being able to connect directly to recent +versions of Windows, using drivers that Microsoft bundles and supports, +making it much simpler to network with Windows. + +There is also support for user mode gadget drivers, using ``gadgetfs``. +This provides a *User Mode API* that presents each endpoint as a single +file descriptor. I/O is done using normal ``read()`` and ``read()`` calls. +Familiar tools like GDB and pthreads can be used to develop and debug +user mode drivers, so that once a robust controller driver is available +many applications for it won't require new kernel mode software. Linux +2.6 *Async I/O (AIO)* support is available, so that user mode software +can stream data with only slightly more overhead than a kernel driver. + +There's a USB Mass Storage class driver, which provides a different +solution for interoperability with systems such as MS-Windows and MacOS. +That *Mass Storage* driver uses a file or block device as backing store +for a drive, like the ``loop`` driver. The USB host uses the BBB, CB, or +CBI versions of the mass storage class specification, using transparent +SCSI commands to access the data from the backing store. + +There's a "serial line" driver, useful for TTY style operation over USB. +The latest version of that driver supports CDC ACM style operation, like +a USB modem, and so on most hardware it can interoperate easily with +MS-Windows. One interesting use of that driver is in boot firmware (like +a BIOS), which can sometimes use that model with very small systems +without real serial lines. + +Support for other kinds of gadget is expected to be developed and +contributed over time, as this driver framework evolves. + +USB On-The-GO (OTG) +=================== + +USB OTG support on Linux 2.6 was initially developed by Texas +Instruments for `OMAP <http://www.omap.com>`__ 16xx and 17xx series +processors. Other OTG systems should work in similar ways, but the +hardware level details could be very different. + +Systems need specialized hardware support to implement OTG, notably +including a special *Mini-AB* jack and associated transceiver to support +*Dual-Role* operation: they can act either as a host, using the standard +Linux-USB host side driver stack, or as a peripheral, using this +``gadget`` framework. To do that, the system software relies on small +additions to those programming interfaces, and on a new internal +component (here called an "OTG Controller") affecting which driver stack +connects to the OTG port. In each role, the system can re-use the +existing pool of hardware-neutral drivers, layered on top of the +controller driver interfaces (:c:type:`usb_bus` or :c:type:`usb_gadget`). +Such drivers need at most minor changes, and most of the calls added to +support OTG can also benefit non-OTG products. + +- Gadget drivers test the ``is_otg`` flag, and use it to determine + whether or not to include an OTG descriptor in each of their + configurations. + +- Gadget drivers may need changes to support the two new OTG protocols, + exposed in new gadget attributes such as ``b_hnp_enable`` flag. HNP + support should be reported through a user interface (two LEDs could + suffice), and is triggered in some cases when the host suspends the + peripheral. SRP support can be user-initiated just like remote + wakeup, probably by pressing the same button. + +- On the host side, USB device drivers need to be taught to trigger HNP + at appropriate moments, using ``usb_suspend_device()``. That also + conserves battery power, which is useful even for non-OTG + configurations. + +- Also on the host side, a driver must support the OTG "Targeted + Peripheral List". That's just a whitelist, used to reject peripherals + not supported with a given Linux OTG host. *This whitelist is + product-specific; each product must modify* ``otg_whitelist.h`` *to + match its interoperability specification.* + + Non-OTG Linux hosts, like PCs and workstations, normally have some + solution for adding drivers, so that peripherals that aren't + recognized can eventually be supported. That approach is unreasonable + for consumer products that may never have their firmware upgraded, + and where it's usually unrealistic to expect traditional + PC/workstation/server kinds of support model to work. For example, + it's often impractical to change device firmware once the product has + been distributed, so driver bugs can't normally be fixed if they're + found after shipment. + +Additional changes are needed below those hardware-neutral :c:type:`usb_bus` +and :c:type:`usb_gadget` driver interfaces; those aren't discussed here in any +detail. Those affect the hardware-specific code for each USB Host or +Peripheral controller, and how the HCD initializes (since OTG can be +active only on a single port). They also involve what may be called an +*OTG Controller Driver*, managing the OTG transceiver and the OTG state +machine logic as well as much of the root hub behavior for the OTG port. +The OTG controller driver needs to activate and deactivate USB +controllers depending on the relevant device role. Some related changes +were needed inside usbcore, so that it can identify OTG-capable devices +and respond appropriately to HNP or SRP protocols. diff --git a/Documentation/usb/hotplug.txt b/Documentation/driver-api/usb/hotplug.rst index 5b243f315b2c..79663e653ca1 100644 --- a/Documentation/usb/hotplug.txt +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/usb/hotplug.rst @@ -1,4 +1,9 @@ -LINUX HOTPLUGGING +USB hotplugging +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Linux Hotplugging +================= + In hotpluggable busses like USB (and Cardbus PCI), end-users plug devices into the bus with power on.

It +provides support for embedded USB Device Controllers (UDC) that do not +use Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) or Open Host Controller +Interface (OHCI). + +Instead, these embedded UDC rely on the USB On-the-Go (OTG) +specification which they implement at least partially. The silicon +reference design used in most cases is the Multipoint USB Highspeed +Dual-Role Controller (MUSB HDRC) found in the Mentor Graphics Inventraâ„¢ +design. + +As a self-taught exercise I have written an MUSB glue layer for the +Ingenic JZ4740 SoC, modelled after the many MUSB glue layers in the +kernel source tree. This layer can be found at +``drivers/usb/musb/jz4740.c``. In this documentation I will walk through the +basics of the ``jz4740.c`` glue layer, explaining the different pieces and +what needs to be done in order to write your own device glue layer. + +.. _musb-basics: + +Linux MUSB Basics +================= + +To get started on the topic, please read USB On-the-Go Basics (see +Resources) which provides an introduction of USB OTG operation at the +hardware level. A couple of wiki pages by Texas Instruments and Analog +Devices also provide an overview of the Linux kernel MUSB configuration, +albeit focused on some specific devices provided by these companies. +Finally, getting acquainted with the USB specification at USB home page +may come in handy, with practical instance provided through the Writing +USB Device Drivers documentation (again, see Resources). + +Linux USB stack is a layered architecture in which the MUSB controller +hardware sits at the lowest. The MUSB controller driver abstract the +MUSB controller hardware to the Linux USB stack:: + + ------------------------ + | | <------- drivers/usb/gadget + | Linux USB Core Stack | <------- drivers/usb/host + | | <------- drivers/usb/core + ------------------------ + ⬠+ -------------------------- + | | <------ drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget.c + | MUSB Controller driver | <------ drivers/usb/musb/musb_host.c + | | <------ drivers/usb/musb/musb_core.c + -------------------------- + ⬠+ --------------------------------- + | MUSB Platform Specific Driver | + | | <-- drivers/usb/musb/jz4740.c + | aka "Glue Layer" | + --------------------------------- + ⬠+ --------------------------------- + | MUSB Controller Hardware | + --------------------------------- + +As outlined above, the glue layer is actually the platform specific code +sitting in between the controller driver and the controller hardware. + +Just like a Linux USB driver needs to register itself with the Linux USB +subsystem, the MUSB glue layer needs first to register itself with the +MUSB controller driver. This will allow the controller driver to know +about which device the glue layer supports and which functions to call +when a supported device is detected or released; remember we are talking +about an embedded controller chip here, so no insertion or removal at +run-time. + +All of this information is passed to the MUSB controller driver through +a :c:type:`platform_driver` structure defined in the glue layer as:: + + static struct platform_driver jz4740_driver = { + .probe = jz4740_probe, + .remove = jz4740_remove, + .driver = { + .name = "musb-jz4740", + }, + }; + +The probe and remove function pointers are called when a matching device +is detected and, respectively, released. The name string describes the +device supported by this glue layer. In the current case it matches a +platform_device structure declared in ``arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c``. Note +that we are not using device tree bindings here. + +In order to register itself to the controller driver, the glue layer +goes through a few steps, basically allocating the controller hardware +resources and initialising a couple of circuits. To do so, it needs to +keep track of the information used throughout these steps. This is done +by defining a private ``jz4740_glue`` structure:: + + struct jz4740_glue { + struct device *dev; + struct platform_device *musb; + struct clk *clk; + }; + + +The dev and musb members are both device structure variables. The first +one holds generic information about the device, since it's the basic +device structure, and the latter holds information more closely related +to the subsystem the device is registered to. The clk variable keeps +information related to the device clock operation. + +Let's go through the steps of the probe function that leads the glue +layer to register itself to the controller driver. + +.. note:: + + For the sake of readability each function will be split in logical + parts, each part being shown as if it was independent from the others. + +.. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 8,12,18 + + static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + struct platform_device *musb; + struct jz4740_glue *glue; + struct clk *clk; + int ret; + + glue = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*glue), GFP_KERNEL); + if (!glue) + return -ENOMEM; + + musb = platform_device_alloc("musb-hdrc", PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO); + if (!musb) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to allocate musb device\n"); + return -ENOMEM; + } + + clk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, "udc"); + if (IS_ERR(clk)) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to get clock\n"); + ret = PTR_ERR(clk); + goto err_platform_device_put; + } + + ret = clk_prepare_enable(clk); + if (ret) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to enable clock\n"); + goto err_platform_device_put; + } + + musb->dev.parent = &pdev->dev; + + glue->dev = &pdev->dev; + glue->musb = musb; + glue->clk = clk; + + return 0; + + err_platform_device_put: + platform_device_put(musb); + return ret; + } + +The first few lines of the probe function allocate and assign the glue, +musb and clk variables. The ``GFP_KERNEL`` flag (line 8) allows the +allocation process to sleep and wait for memory, thus being usable in a +locking situation. The ``PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO`` flag (line 12) allows +automatic allocation and management of device IDs in order to avoid +device namespace collisions with explicit IDs. With :c:func:`devm_clk_get` +(line 18) the glue layer allocates the clock -- the ``devm_`` prefix +indicates that :c:func:`clk_get` is managed: it automatically frees the +allocated clock resource data when the device is released -- and enable +it. + + + +Then comes the registration steps: + +.. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 3,5,7,9,16 + + static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + struct musb_hdrc_platform_data *pdata = &jz4740_musb_platform_data; + + pdata->platform_ops = &jz4740_musb_ops; + + platform_set_drvdata(pdev, glue); + + ret = platform_device_add_resources(musb, pdev->resource, + pdev->num_resources); + if (ret) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to add resources\n"); + goto err_clk_disable; + } + + ret = platform_device_add_data(musb, pdata, sizeof(*pdata)); + if (ret) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to add platform_data\n"); + goto err_clk_disable; + } + + return 0; + + err_clk_disable: + clk_disable_unprepare(clk); + err_platform_device_put: + platform_device_put(musb); + return ret; + } + +The first step is to pass the device data privately held by the glue +layer on to the controller driver through :c:func:`platform_set_drvdata` +(line 7). Next is passing on the device resources information, also privately +held at that point, through :c:func:`platform_device_add_resources` (line 9). + +Finally comes passing on the platform specific data to the controller +driver (line 16). Platform data will be discussed in +:ref:`musb-dev-platform-data`, but here we are looking at the +``platform_ops`` function pointer (line 5) in ``musb_hdrc_platform_data`` +structure (line 3). This function pointer allows the MUSB controller +driver to know which function to call for device operation:: + + static const struct musb_platform_ops jz4740_musb_ops = { + .init = jz4740_musb_init, + .exit = jz4740_musb_exit, + }; + +Here we have the minimal case where only init and exit functions are +called by the controller driver when needed. Fact is the JZ4740 MUSB +controller is a basic controller, lacking some features found in other +controllers, otherwise we may also have pointers to a few other +functions like a power management function or a function to switch +between OTG and non-OTG modes, for instance. + +At that point of the registration process, the controller driver +actually calls the init function: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 12,14 + + static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb) + { + musb->xceiv = usb_get_phy(USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2); + if (!musb->xceiv) { + pr_err("HS UDC: no transceiver configured\n"); + return -ENODEV; + } + + /* Silicon does not implement ConfigData register. + * Set dyn_fifo to avoid reading EP config from hardware. + */ + musb->dyn_fifo = true; + + musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt; + + return 0; + } + +The goal of ``jz4740_musb_init()`` is to get hold of the transceiver +driver data of the MUSB controller hardware and pass it on to the MUSB +controller driver, as usual. The transceiver is the circuitry inside the +controller hardware responsible for sending/receiving the USB data. +Since it is an implementation of the physical layer of the OSI model, +the transceiver is also referred to as PHY. + +Getting hold of the ``MUSB PHY`` driver data is done with ``usb_get_phy()`` +which returns a pointer to the structure containing the driver instance +data. The next couple of instructions (line 12 and 14) are used as a +quirk and to setup IRQ handling respectively. Quirks and IRQ handling +will be discussed later in :ref:`musb-dev-quirks` and +:ref:`musb-handling-irqs`\ :: + + static int jz4740_musb_exit(struct musb *musb) + { + usb_put_phy(musb->xceiv); + + return 0; + } + +Acting as the counterpart of init, the exit function releases the MUSB +PHY driver when the controller hardware itself is about to be released. + +Again, note that init and exit are fairly simple in this case due to the +basic set of features of the JZ4740 controller hardware. When writing an +musb glue layer for a more complex controller hardware, you might need +to take care of more processing in those two functions. + +Returning from the init function, the MUSB controller driver jumps back +into the probe function:: + + static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + ret = platform_device_add(musb); + if (ret) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to register musb device\n"); + goto err_clk_disable; + } + + return 0; + + err_clk_disable: + clk_disable_unprepare(clk); + err_platform_device_put: + platform_device_put(musb); + return ret; + } + +This is the last part of the device registration process where the glue +layer adds the controller hardware device to Linux kernel device +hierarchy: at this stage, all known information about the device is +passed on to the Linux USB core stack: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 5,6 + + static int jz4740_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + struct jz4740_glue *glue = platform_get_drvdata(pdev); + + platform_device_unregister(glue->musb); + clk_disable_unprepare(glue->clk); + + return 0; + } + +Acting as the counterpart of probe, the remove function unregister the +MUSB controller hardware (line 5) and disable the clock (line 6), +allowing it to be gated. + +.. _musb-handling-irqs: + +Handling IRQs +============= + +Additionally to the MUSB controller hardware basic setup and +registration, the glue layer is also responsible for handling the IRQs: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 7,9-11,14,24 + + static irqreturn_t jz4740_musb_interrupt(int irq, void *__hci) + { + unsigned long flags; + irqreturn_t retval = IRQ_NONE; + struct musb *musb = __hci; + + spin_lock_irqsave(&musb->lock, flags); + + musb->int_usb = musb_readb(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRUSB); + musb->int_tx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRTX); + musb->int_rx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRRX); + + /* + * The controller is gadget only, the state of the host mode IRQ bits is + * undefined. Mask them to make sure that the musb driver core will + * never see them set + */ + musb->int_usb &= MUSB_INTR_SUSPEND | MUSB_INTR_RESUME | + MUSB_INTR_RESET | MUSB_INTR_SOF; + + if (musb->int_usb || musb->int_tx || musb->int_rx) + retval = musb_interrupt(musb); + + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&musb->lock, flags); + + return retval; + } + +Here the glue layer mostly has to read the relevant hardware registers +and pass their values on to the controller driver which will handle the +actual event that triggered the IRQ. + +The interrupt handler critical section is protected by the +:c:func:`spin_lock_irqsave` and counterpart :c:func:`spin_unlock_irqrestore` +functions (line 7 and 24 respectively), which prevent the interrupt +handler code to be run by two different threads at the same time. + +Then the relevant interrupt registers are read (line 9 to 11): + +- ``MUSB_INTRUSB``: indicates which USB interrupts are currently active, + +- ``MUSB_INTRTX``: indicates which of the interrupts for TX endpoints are + currently active, + +- ``MUSB_INTRRX``: indicates which of the interrupts for TX endpoints are + currently active. + +Note that :c:func:`musb_readb` is used to read 8-bit registers at most, while +:c:func:`musb_readw` allows us to read at most 16-bit registers. There are +other functions that can be used depending on the size of your device +registers. See ``musb_io.h`` for more information. + +Instruction on line 18 is another quirk specific to the JZ4740 USB +device controller, which will be discussed later in :ref:`musb-dev-quirks`. + +The glue layer still needs to register the IRQ handler though. Remember +the instruction on line 14 of the init function:: + + static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb) + { + musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt; + + return 0; + } + +This instruction sets a pointer to the glue layer IRQ handler function, +in order for the controller hardware to call the handler back when an +IRQ comes from the controller hardware. The interrupt handler is now +implemented and registered. + +.. _musb-dev-platform-data: + +Device Platform Data +==================== + +In order to write an MUSB glue layer, you need to have some data +describing the hardware capabilities of your controller hardware, which +is called the platform data. + +Platform data is specific to your hardware, though it may cover a broad +range of devices, and is generally found somewhere in the ``arch/`` +directory, depending on your device architecture. + +For instance, platform data for the JZ4740 SoC is found in +``arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c``. In the ``platform.c`` file each device of the +JZ4740 SoC is described through a set of structures. + +Here is the part of ``arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c`` that covers the USB +Device Controller (UDC): + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 2,7,14-17,21,22,25,26,28,29 + + /* USB Device Controller */ + struct platform_device jz4740_udc_xceiv_device = { + .name = "usb_phy_gen_xceiv", + .id = 0, + }; + + static struct resource jz4740_udc_resources[] = { + [0] = { + .start = JZ4740_UDC_BASE_ADDR, + .end = JZ4740_UDC_BASE_ADDR + 0x10000 - 1, + .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM, + }, + [1] = { + .start = JZ4740_IRQ_UDC, + .end = JZ4740_IRQ_UDC, + .flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ, + .name = "mc", + }, + }; + + struct platform_device jz4740_udc_device = { + .name = "musb-jz4740", + .id = -1, + .dev = { + .dma_mask = &jz4740_udc_device.dev.coherent_dma_mask, + .coherent_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32), + }, + .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(jz4740_udc_resources), + .resource = jz4740_udc_resources, + }; + +The ``jz4740_udc_xceiv_device`` platform device structure (line 2) +describes the UDC transceiver with a name and id number. + +At the time of this writing, note that ``usb_phy_gen_xceiv`` is the +specific name to be used for all transceivers that are either built-in +with reference USB IP or autonomous and doesn't require any PHY +programming. You will need to set ``CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV=y`` in the +kernel configuration to make use of the corresponding transceiver +driver. The id field could be set to -1 (equivalent to +``PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE``), -2 (equivalent to ``PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO``) or +start with 0 for the first device of this kind if we want a specific id +number. + +The ``jz4740_udc_resources`` resource structure (line 7) defines the UDC +registers base addresses. + +The first array (line 9 to 11) defines the UDC registers base memory +addresses: start points to the first register memory address, end points +to the last register memory address and the flags member defines the +type of resource we are dealing with. So ``IORESOURCE_MEM`` is used to +define the registers memory addresses. The second array (line 14 to 17) +defines the UDC IRQ registers addresses. Since there is only one IRQ +register available for the JZ4740 UDC, start and end point at the same +address. The ``IORESOURCE_IRQ`` flag tells that we are dealing with IRQ +resources, and the name ``mc`` is in fact hard-coded in the MUSB core in +order for the controller driver to retrieve this IRQ resource by +querying it by its name. + +Finally, the ``jz4740_udc_device`` platform device structure (line 21) +describes the UDC itself. + +The ``musb-jz4740`` name (line 22) defines the MUSB driver that is used +for this device; remember this is in fact the name that we used in the +``jz4740_driver`` platform driver structure in :ref:`musb-basics`. +The id field (line 23) is set to -1 (equivalent to ``PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE``) +since we do not need an id for the device: the MUSB controller driver was +already set to allocate an automatic id in :ref:`musb-basics`. In the dev field +we care for DMA related information here. The ``dma_mask`` field (line 25) +defines the width of the DMA mask that is going to be used, and +``coherent_dma_mask`` (line 26) has the same purpose but for the +``alloc_coherent`` DMA mappings: in both cases we are using a 32 bits mask. +Then the resource field (line 29) is simply a pointer to the resource +structure defined before, while the ``num_resources`` field (line 28) keeps +track of the number of arrays defined in the resource structure (in this +case there were two resource arrays defined before). + +With this quick overview of the UDC platform data at the ``arch/`` level now +done, let's get back to the MUSB glue layer specific platform data in +``drivers/usb/musb/jz4740.c``: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 3,5,7-9,11 + + static struct musb_hdrc_config jz4740_musb_config = { + /* Silicon does not implement USB OTG. */ + .multipoint = 0, + /* Max EPs scanned, driver will decide which EP can be used. */ + .num_eps = 4, + /* RAMbits needed to configure EPs from table */ + .ram_bits = 9, + .fifo_cfg = jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg, + .fifo_cfg_size = ARRAY_SIZE(jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg), + }; + + static struct musb_hdrc_platform_data jz4740_musb_platform_data = { + .mode = MUSB_PERIPHERAL, + .config = &jz4740_musb_config, + }; + +First the glue layer configures some aspects of the controller driver +operation related to the controller hardware specifics. This is done +through the ``jz4740_musb_config`` :c:type:`musb_hdrc_config` structure. + +Defining the OTG capability of the controller hardware, the multipoint +member (line 3) is set to 0 (equivalent to false) since the JZ4740 UDC +is not OTG compatible. Then ``num_eps`` (line 5) defines the number of USB +endpoints of the controller hardware, including endpoint 0: here we have +3 endpoints + endpoint 0. Next is ``ram_bits`` (line 7) which is the width +of the RAM address bus for the MUSB controller hardware. This +information is needed when the controller driver cannot automatically +configure endpoints by reading the relevant controller hardware +registers. This issue will be discussed when we get to device quirks in +:ref:`musb-dev-quirks`. Last two fields (line 8 and 9) are also +about device quirks: ``fifo_cfg`` points to the USB endpoints configuration +table and ``fifo_cfg_size`` keeps track of the size of the number of +entries in that configuration table. More on that later in +:ref:`musb-dev-quirks`. + +Then this configuration is embedded inside ``jz4740_musb_platform_data`` +:c:type:`musb_hdrc_platform_data` structure (line 11): config is a pointer to +the configuration structure itself, and mode tells the controller driver +if the controller hardware may be used as ``MUSB_HOST`` only, +``MUSB_PERIPHERAL`` only or ``MUSB_OTG`` which is a dual mode. + +Remember that ``jz4740_musb_platform_data`` is then used to convey +platform data information as we have seen in the probe function in +:ref:`musb-basics`. + +.. _musb-dev-quirks: + +Device Quirks +============= + +Completing the platform data specific to your device, you may also need +to write some code in the glue layer to work around some device specific +limitations. These quirks may be due to some hardware bugs, or simply be +the result of an incomplete implementation of the USB On-the-Go +specification. + +The JZ4740 UDC exhibits such quirks, some of which we will discuss here +for the sake of insight even though these might not be found in the +controller hardware you are working on. + +Let's get back to the init function first: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 12 + + static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb) + { + musb->xceiv = usb_get_phy(USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2); + if (!musb->xceiv) { + pr_err("HS UDC: no transceiver configured\n"); + return -ENODEV; + } + + /* Silicon does not implement ConfigData register. + * Set dyn_fifo to avoid reading EP config from hardware. + */ + musb->dyn_fifo = true; + + musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt; + + return 0; + } + +Instruction on line 12 helps the MUSB controller driver to work around +the fact that the controller hardware is missing registers that are used +for USB endpoints configuration. + +Without these registers, the controller driver is unable to read the +endpoints configuration from the hardware, so we use line 12 instruction +to bypass reading the configuration from silicon, and rely on a +hard-coded table that describes the endpoints configuration instead:: + + static struct musb_fifo_cfg jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg[] = { + { .hw_ep_num = 1, .style = FIFO_TX, .maxpacket = 512, }, + { .hw_ep_num = 1, .style = FIFO_RX, .maxpacket = 512, }, + { .hw_ep_num = 2, .style = FIFO_TX, .maxpacket = 64, }, + }; + +Looking at the configuration table above, we see that each endpoints is +described by three fields: ``hw_ep_num`` is the endpoint number, style is +its direction (either ``FIFO_TX`` for the controller driver to send packets +in the controller hardware, or ``FIFO_RX`` to receive packets from +hardware), and maxpacket defines the maximum size of each data packet +that can be transmitted over that endpoint. Reading from the table, the +controller driver knows that endpoint 1 can be used to send and receive +USB data packets of 512 bytes at once (this is in fact a bulk in/out +endpoint), and endpoint 2 can be used to send data packets of 64 bytes +at once (this is in fact an interrupt endpoint). + +Note that there is no information about endpoint 0 here: that one is +implemented by default in every silicon design, with a predefined +configuration according to the USB specification. For more examples of +endpoint configuration tables, see ``musb_core.c``. + +Let's now get back to the interrupt handler function: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 18-19 + + static irqreturn_t jz4740_musb_interrupt(int irq, void *__hci) + { + unsigned long flags; + irqreturn_t retval = IRQ_NONE; + struct musb *musb = __hci; + + spin_lock_irqsave(&musb->lock, flags); + + musb->int_usb = musb_readb(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRUSB); + musb->int_tx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRTX); + musb->int_rx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRRX); + + /* + * The controller is gadget only, the state of the host mode IRQ bits is + * undefined. Mask them to make sure that the musb driver core will + * never see them set + */ + musb->int_usb &= MUSB_INTR_SUSPEND | MUSB_INTR_RESUME | + MUSB_INTR_RESET | MUSB_INTR_SOF; + + if (musb->int_usb || musb->int_tx || musb->int_rx) + retval = musb_interrupt(musb); + + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&musb->lock, flags); + + return retval; + } + +Instruction on line 18 above is a way for the controller driver to work +around the fact that some interrupt bits used for USB host mode +operation are missing in the ``MUSB_INTRUSB`` register, thus left in an +undefined hardware state, since this MUSB controller hardware is used in +peripheral mode only. As a consequence, the glue layer masks these +missing bits out to avoid parasite interrupts by doing a logical AND +operation between the value read from ``MUSB_INTRUSB`` and the bits that +are actually implemented in the register. + +These are only a couple of the quirks found in the JZ4740 USB device +controller. Some others were directly addressed in the MUSB core since +the fixes were generic enough to provide a better handling of the issues +for others controller hardware eventually. + +Conclusion +========== + +Writing a Linux MUSB glue layer should be a more accessible task, as +this documentation tries to show the ins and outs of this exercise. + +The JZ4740 USB device controller being fairly simple, I hope its glue +layer serves as a good example for the curious mind.

Linux currently supports +almost all USB class devices (standard types of devices like keyboards, +mice, modems, printers and speakers) and an ever-growing number of +vendor-specific devices (such as USB to serial converters, digital +cameras, Ethernet devices and MP3 players). For a full list of the +different USB devices currently supported, see Resources. + +The remaining kinds of USB devices that do not have support on Linux are +almost all vendor-specific devices. Each vendor decides to implement a +custom protocol to talk to their device, so a custom driver usually +needs to be created. Some vendors are open with their USB protocols and +help with the creation of Linux drivers, while others do not publish +them, and developers are forced to reverse-engineer. See Resources for +some links to handy reverse-engineering tools. + +Because each different protocol causes a new driver to be created, I +have written a generic USB driver skeleton, modelled after the +pci-skeleton.c file in the kernel source tree upon which many PCI +network drivers have been based. This USB skeleton can be found at +drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c in the kernel source tree. In this article I +will walk through the basics of the skeleton driver, explaining the +different pieces and what needs to be done to customize it to your +specific device. + +Linux USB Basics +================ + +If you are going to write a Linux USB driver, please become familiar +with the USB protocol specification. It can be found, along with many +other useful documents, at the USB home page (see Resources). An +excellent introduction to the Linux USB subsystem can be found at the +USB Working Devices List (see Resources). It explains how the Linux USB +subsystem is structured and introduces the reader to the concept of USB +urbs (USB Request Blocks), which are essential to USB drivers. + +The first thing a Linux USB driver needs to do is register itself with +the Linux USB subsystem, giving it some information about which devices +the driver supports and which functions to call when a device supported +by the driver is inserted or removed from the system. All of this +information is passed to the USB subsystem in the :c:type:`usb_driver` +structure. The skeleton driver declares a :c:type:`usb_driver` as:: + + static struct usb_driver skel_driver = { + .name = "skeleton", + .probe = skel_probe, + .disconnect = skel_disconnect, + .fops = &skel_fops, + .minor = USB_SKEL_MINOR_BASE, + .id_table = skel_table, + }; + + +The variable name is a string that describes the driver. It is used in +informational messages printed to the system log. The probe and +disconnect function pointers are called when a device that matches the +information provided in the ``id_table`` variable is either seen or +removed. + +The fops and minor variables are optional. Most USB drivers hook into +another kernel subsystem, such as the SCSI, network or TTY subsystem. +These types of drivers register themselves with the other kernel +subsystem, and any user-space interactions are provided through that +interface. But for drivers that do not have a matching kernel subsystem, +such as MP3 players or scanners, a method of interacting with user space +is needed. The USB subsystem provides a way to register a minor device +number and a set of :c:type:`file_operations` function pointers that enable +this user-space interaction. The skeleton driver needs this kind of +interface, so it provides a minor starting number and a pointer to its +:c:type:`file_operations` functions. + +The USB driver is then registered with a call to :c:func:`usb_register`, +usually in the driver's init function, as shown here:: + + static int __init usb_skel_init(void) + { + int result; + + /* register this driver with the USB subsystem */ + result = usb_register(&skel_driver); + if (result < 0) { + err("usb_register failed for the "__FILE__ "driver." + "Error number %d", result); + return -1; + } + + return 0; + } + module_init(usb_skel_init); + + +When the driver is unloaded from the system, it needs to deregister +itself with the USB subsystem. This is done with the :c:func:`usb_deregister` +function:: + + static void __exit usb_skel_exit(void) + { + /* deregister this driver with the USB subsystem */ + usb_deregister(&skel_driver); + } + module_exit(usb_skel_exit); + + +To enable the linux-hotplug system to load the driver automatically when +the device is plugged in, you need to create a ``MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE``. +The following code tells the hotplug scripts that this module supports a +single device with a specific vendor and product ID:: + + /* table of devices that work with this driver */ + static struct usb_device_id skel_table [] = { + { USB_DEVICE(USB_SKEL_VENDOR_ID, USB_SKEL_PRODUCT_ID) }, + { } /* Terminating entry */ + }; + MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE (usb, skel_table); + + +There are other macros that can be used in describing a struct +:c:type:`usb_device_id` for drivers that support a whole class of USB +drivers. See :ref:`usb.h <usb_header>` for more information on this. + +Device operation +================ + +When a device is plugged into the USB bus that matches the device ID +pattern that your driver registered with the USB core, the probe +function is called. The :c:type:`usb_device` structure, interface number and +the interface ID are passed to the function:: + + static int skel_probe(struct usb_interface *interface, + const struct usb_device_id *id) + + +The driver now needs to verify that this device is actually one that it +can accept. If so, it returns 0. If not, or if any error occurs during +initialization, an errorcode (such as ``-ENOMEM`` or ``-ENODEV``) is +returned from the probe function. + +In the skeleton driver, we determine what end points are marked as +bulk-in and bulk-out. We create buffers to hold the data that will be +sent and received from the device, and a USB urb to write data to the +device is initialized. + +Conversely, when the device is removed from the USB bus, the disconnect +function is called with the device pointer. The driver needs to clean +any private data that has been allocated at this time and to shut down +any pending urbs that are in the USB system. + +Now that the device is plugged into the system and the driver is bound +to the device, any of the functions in the :c:type:`file_operations` structure +that were passed to the USB subsystem will be called from a user program +trying to talk to the device. The first function called will be open, as +the program tries to open the device for I/O. We increment our private +usage count and save a pointer to our internal structure in the file +structure. This is done so that future calls to file operations will +enable the driver to determine which device the user is addressing. All +of this is done with the following code:: + + /* increment our usage count for the module */ + ++skel->open_count; + + /* save our object in the file's private structure */ + file->private_data = dev; + + +After the open function is called, the read and write functions are +called to receive and send data to the device. In the ``skel_write`` +function, we receive a pointer to some data that the user wants to send +to the device and the size of the data. The function determines how much +data it can send to the device based on the size of the write urb it has +created (this size depends on the size of the bulk out end point that +the device has). Then it copies the data from user space to kernel +space, points the urb to the data and submits the urb to the USB +subsystem. This can be seen in the following code:: + + /* we can only write as much as 1 urb will hold */ + bytes_written = (count > skel->bulk_out_size) ? skel->bulk_out_size : count; + + /* copy the data from user space into our urb */ + copy_from_user(skel->write_urb->transfer_buffer, buffer, bytes_written); + + /* set up our urb */ + usb_fill_bulk_urb(skel->write_urb, + skel->dev, + usb_sndbulkpipe(skel->dev, skel->bulk_out_endpointAddr), + skel->write_urb->transfer_buffer, + bytes_written, + skel_write_bulk_callback, + skel); + + /* send the data out the bulk port */ + result = usb_submit_urb(skel->write_urb); + if (result) { + err("Failed submitting write urb, error %d", result); + } + + +When the write urb is filled up with the proper information using the +:c:func:`usb_fill_bulk_urb` function, we point the urb's completion callback +to call our own ``skel_write_bulk_callback`` function. This function is +called when the urb is finished by the USB subsystem. The callback +function is called in interrupt context, so caution must be taken not to +do very much processing at that time. Our implementation of +``skel_write_bulk_callback`` merely reports if the urb was completed +successfully or not and then returns. + +The read function works a bit differently from the write function in +that we do not use an urb to transfer data from the device to the +driver. Instead we call the :c:func:`usb_bulk_msg` function, which can be used +to send or receive data from a device without having to create urbs and +handle urb completion callback functions. We call the :c:func:`usb_bulk_msg` +function, giving it a buffer into which to place any data received from +the device and a timeout value. If the timeout period expires without +receiving any data from the device, the function will fail and return an +error message. This can be shown with the following code:: + + /* do an immediate bulk read to get data from the device */ + retval = usb_bulk_msg (skel->dev, + usb_rcvbulkpipe (skel->dev, + skel->bulk_in_endpointAddr), + skel->bulk_in_buffer, + skel->bulk_in_size, + &count, HZ*10); + /* if the read was successful, copy the data to user space */ + if (!retval) { + if (copy_to_user (buffer, skel->bulk_in_buffer, count)) + retval = -EFAULT; + else + retval = count; + } + + +The :c:func:`usb_bulk_msg` function can be very useful for doing single reads +or writes to a device; however, if you need to read or write constantly to +a device, it is recommended to set up your own urbs and submit them to +the USB subsystem. + +When the user program releases the file handle that it has been using to +talk to the device, the release function in the driver is called. In +this function we decrement our private usage count and wait for possible +pending writes:: + + /* decrement our usage count for the device */ + --skel->open_count; + + +One of the more difficult problems that USB drivers must be able to +handle smoothly is the fact that the USB device may be removed from the +system at any point in time, even if a program is currently talking to +it. It needs to be able to shut down any current reads and writes and +notify the user-space programs that the device is no longer there. The +following code (function ``skel_delete``) is an example of how to do +this:: + + static inline void skel_delete (struct usb_skel *dev) + { + kfree (dev->bulk_in_buffer); + if (dev->bulk_out_buffer != NULL) + usb_free_coherent (dev->udev, dev->bulk_out_size, + dev->bulk_out_buffer, + dev->write_urb->transfer_dma); + usb_free_urb (dev->write_urb); + kfree (dev); + } + + +If a program currently has an open handle to the device, we reset the +flag ``device_present``. For every read, write, release and other +functions that expect a device to be present, the driver first checks +this flag to see if the device is still present. If not, it releases +that the device has disappeared, and a ``-ENODEV`` error is returned to the +user-space program. When the release function is eventually called, it +determines if there is no device and if not, it does the cleanup that +the ``skel_disconnect`` function normally does if there are no open files +on the device (see Listing 5). + +Isochronous Data +================ + +This usb-skeleton driver does not have any examples of interrupt or +isochronous data being sent to or from the device. Interrupt data is +sent almost exactly as bulk data is, with a few minor exceptions. +Isochronous data works differently with continuous streams of data being +sent to or from the device. The audio and video camera drivers are very +good examples of drivers that handle isochronous data and will be useful +if you also need to do this. + +Conclusion +========== + +Writing Linux USB device drivers is not a difficult task as the +usb-skeleton driver shows. This driver, combined with the other current +USB drivers, should provide enough examples to help a beginning author +create a working driver in a minimal amount of time.

The built-in +microphone is supported through the USB Audio class. + +When you load the module you can set some default settings for the +camera; some programs depend on a particular image-size or -format and +don't know how to set it properly in the driver. The options are: + +size + Can be one of 'sqcif', 'qsif', 'qcif', 'sif', 'cif' or + 'vga', for an image size of resp. 128x96, 160x120, 176x144, + 320x240, 352x288 and 640x480 (of course, only for those cameras that + support these resolutions). + +fps + Specifies the desired framerate. Is an integer in the range of 4-30. + +fbufs + This parameter specifies the number of internal buffers to use for storing + frames from the cam. This will help if the process that reads images from + the cam is a bit slow or momentarily busy. However, on slow machines it + only introduces lag, so choose carefully. The default is 3, which is + reasonable. You can set it between 2 and 5. + +mbufs + This is an integer between 1 and 10. It will tell the module the number of + buffers to reserve for mmap(), VIDIOCCGMBUF, VIDIOCMCAPTURE and friends. + The default is 2, which is adequate for most applications (double + buffering). + + Should you experience a lot of 'Dumping frame...' messages during + grabbing with a tool that uses mmap(), you might want to increase if. + However, it doesn't really buffer images, it just gives you a bit more + slack when your program is behind. But you need a multi-threaded or + forked program to really take advantage of these buffers. + + The absolute maximum is 10, but don't set it too high! Every buffer takes + up 460 KB of RAM, so unless you have a lot of memory setting this to + something more than 4 is an absolute waste. This memory is only + allocated during open(), so nothing is wasted when the camera is not in + use. + +power_save + When power_save is enabled (set to 1), the module will try to shut down + the cam on close() and re-activate on open(). This will save power and + turn off the LED. Not all cameras support this though (the 645 and 646 + don't have power saving at all), and some models don't work either (they + will shut down, but never wake up). Consider this experimental. By + default this option is disabled. + +compression (only useful with the plugin) + With this option you can control the compression factor that the camera + uses to squeeze the image through the USB bus. You can set the + parameter between 0 and 3:: + + 0 = prefer uncompressed images; if the requested mode is not available + in an uncompressed format, the driver will silently switch to low + compression. + 1 = low compression. + 2 = medium compression. + 3 = high compression. + + High compression takes less bandwidth of course, but it could also + introduce some unwanted artefacts. The default is 2, medium compression. + See the FAQ on the website for an overview of which modes require + compression. + + The compression parameter does not apply to the 645 and 646 cameras + and OEM models derived from those (only a few). Most cams honour this + parameter. + +leds + This settings takes 2 integers, that define the on/off time for the LED + (in milliseconds). One of the interesting things that you can do with + this is let the LED blink while the camera is in use. This:: + + leds=500,500 + + will blink the LED once every second. But with:: + + leds=0,0 + + the LED never goes on, making it suitable for silent surveillance. + + By default the camera's LED is on solid while in use, and turned off + when the camera is not used anymore. + + This parameter works only with the ToUCam range of cameras (720, 730, 740, + 750) and OEMs. For other cameras this command is silently ignored, and + the LED cannot be controlled. + + Finally: this parameters does not take effect UNTIL the first time you + open the camera device. Until then, the LED remains on. + +dev_hint + A long standing problem with USB devices is their dynamic nature: you + never know what device a camera gets assigned; it depends on module load + order, the hub configuration, the order in which devices are plugged in, + and the phase of the moon (i.e. it can be random). With this option you + can give the driver a hint as to what video device node (/dev/videoX) it + should use with a specific camera. This is also handy if you have two + cameras of the same model. + + A camera is specified by its type (the number from the camera model, + like PCA645, PCVC750VC, etc) and optionally the serial number (visible + in /proc/bus/usb/devices).

The driver only + supports fully enabling or fully masking the fields, so use of the mask + fields for partial matches is not supported. + + Additionally, the driver supports using the action to specify filters for a + Virtual Function. You can specify the action as a 64bit value, where the + lower 32 bits represents the queue number, while the next 8 bits represent + which VF. Note that 0 is the PF, so the VF identifier is offset by 1. For + example: + + ... action 0x800000002 ... + + Would indicate to direct traffic for Virtual Function 7 (8 minus 1) on queue + 2 of that VF. + + The driver also supports using the user-defined field to specify 2 bytes of + arbitrary data to match within the packet payload in addition to the regular + fields. The data is specified in the lower 32bits of the user-def field in + the following way: + + +----------------------------+---------------------------+ + | 31 28 24 20 16 | 15 12 8 4 0| + +----------------------------+---------------------------+ + | offset into packet payload | 2 bytes of flexible data | + +----------------------------+---------------------------+ + + As an example, + + ... user-def 0x4FFFF .... + + means to match the value 0xFFFF 4 bytes into the packet payload. Note that + the offset is based on the beginning of the payload, and not the beginning + of the packet. Thus + + flow-type tcp4 ... user-def 0x8BEAF .... + + would match TCP/IPv4 packets which have the value 0xBEAF 8bytes into the + TCP/IPv4 payload. + + For ICMP, the hardware parses the ICMP header as 4 bytes of header and 4 + bytes of payload, so if you want to match an ICMP frames payload you may need + to add 4 to the offset in order to match the data. + + Furthermore, the offset can only be up to a value of 64, as the hardware + will only read up to 64 bytes of data from the payload. It must also be even + as the flexible data is 2 bytes long and must be aligned to byte 0 of the + packet payload. + + When programming filters, the hardware is limited to using a single input + set for each flow type. This means that it is an error to program two + different filters with the same type that don't match on the same fields. + Thus the second of the following two commands will fail: + + ethtool -N <device> flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.0.7 action 5 + ethtool -N <device> flow-type tcp4 dst-ip 192.168.15.18 action 1 + + This is because the first filter will be accepted and reprogram the input + set for TCPv4 filters, but the second filter will be unable to reprogram the + input set until all the conflicting TCPv4 filters are first removed. + + Note that the user-defined flexible offset is also considered part of the + input set and cannot be programmed separately for multiple filters of the + same type.

Motivation for vfio-ccw is to passthrough subchannels to a +virtual machine, while vfio is the means. + +Different than other hardware architectures, s390 has defined a unified +I/O access method, which is so called Channel I/O. It has its own access +patterns: +- Channel programs run asynchronously on a separate (co)processor. +- The channel subsystem will access any memory designated by the caller + in the channel program directly, i.e. there is no iommu involved. +Thus when we introduce vfio support for these devices, we realize it +with a mediated device (mdev) implementation. The vfio mdev will be +added to an iommu group, so as to make itself able to be managed by the +vfio framework. And we add read/write callbacks for special vfio I/O +regions to pass the channel programs from the mdev to its parent device +(the real I/O subchannel device) to do further address translation and +to perform I/O instructions. + +This document does not intend to explain the s390 I/O architecture in +every detail.

This makes virtio devices discoverable via +standard operating system algorithms for handling channel devices. + +However this is not enough. On s390 for the majority of devices, which +use the standard Channel I/O based mechanism, we also need to provide +the functionality of passing through them to a Qemu virtual machine. +This includes devices that don't have a virtio counterpart (e.g. tape +drives) or that have specific characteristics which guests want to +exploit. + +For passing a device to a guest, we want to use the same interface as +everybody else, namely vfio. Thus, we would like to introduce vfio +support for channel devices. And we would like to name this new vfio +device "vfio-ccw". + +Access patterns of CCW devices +------------------------------ + +s390 architecture has implemented a so called channel subsystem, that +provides a unified view of the devices physically attached to the +systems. Though the s390 hardware platform knows about a huge variety of +different peripheral attachments like disk devices (aka. DASDs), tapes, +communication controllers, etc. They can all be accessed by a well +defined access method and they are presenting I/O completion a unified +way: I/O interruptions. + +All I/O requires the use of channel command words (CCWs). A CCW is an +instruction to a specialized I/O channel processor. A channel program is +a sequence of CCWs which are executed by the I/O channel subsystem. To +issue a channel program to the channel subsystem, it is required to +build an operation request block (ORB), which can be used to point out +the format of the CCW and other control information to the system. The +operating system signals the I/O channel subsystem to begin executing +the channel program with a SSCH (start sub-channel) instruction. The +central processor is then free to proceed with non-I/O instructions +until interrupted. The I/O completion result is received by the +interrupt handler in the form of interrupt response block (IRB). + +Back to vfio-ccw, in short: +- ORBs and channel programs are built in guest kernel (with guest + physical addresses). +- ORBs and channel programs are passed to the host kernel. +- Host kernel translates the guest physical addresses to real addresses + and starts the I/O with issuing a privileged Channel I/O instruction + (e.g SSCH). +- channel programs run asynchronously on a separate processor. +- I/O completion will be signaled to the host with I/O interruptions. + And it will be copied as IRB to user space to pass it back to the + guest. + +Physical vfio ccw device and its child mdev +------------------------------------------- + +As mentioned above, we realize vfio-ccw with a mdev implementation. + +Channel I/O does not have IOMMU hardware support, so the physical +vfio-ccw device does not have an IOMMU level translation or isolation. + +Sub-channel I/O instructions are all privileged instructions, When +handling the I/O instruction interception, vfio-ccw has the software +policing and translation how the channel program is programmed before +it gets sent to hardware. + +Within this implementation, we have two drivers for two types of +devices: +- The vfio_ccw driver for the physical subchannel device. + This is an I/O subchannel driver for the real subchannel device. It + realizes a group of callbacks and registers to the mdev framework as a + parent (physical) device. As a consequence, mdev provides vfio_ccw a + generic interface (sysfs) to create mdev devices. A vfio mdev could be + created by vfio_ccw then and added to the mediated bus. It is the vfio + device that added to an IOMMU group and a vfio group. + vfio_ccw also provides an I/O region to accept channel program + request from user space and store I/O interrupt result for user + space to retrieve. To notify user space an I/O completion, it offers + an interface to setup an eventfd fd for asynchronous signaling. + +- The vfio_mdev driver for the mediated vfio ccw device. + This is provided by the mdev framework. It is a vfio device driver for + the mdev that created by vfio_ccw. + It realize a group of vfio device driver callbacks, adds itself to a + vfio group, and registers itself to the mdev framework as a mdev + driver. + It uses a vfio iommu backend that uses the existing map and unmap + ioctls, but rather than programming them into an IOMMU for a device, + it simply stores the translations for use by later requests. This + means that a device programmed in a VM with guest physical addresses + can have the vfio kernel convert that address to process virtual + address, pin the page and program the hardware with the host physical + address in one step. + For a mdev, the vfio iommu backend will not pin the pages during the + VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA ioctl. Mdev framework will only maintain a database + of the iova<->vaddr mappings in this operation.

The BBB indicates the bus -number. The DDD indicates the device address on that bus. Both -of these numbers are assigned sequentially, and can be reused, so -you can't rely on them for stable access to devices. For example, -it's relatively common for devices to re-enumerate while they are -still connected (perhaps someone jostled their power supply, hub, -or USB cable), so a device might be 002/027 when you first connect -it and 002/048 sometime later. - -These files can be read as binary data. The binary data consists -of first the device descriptor, then the descriptors for each -configuration of the device. Multi-byte fields in the device descriptor -are converted to host endianness by the kernel. The configuration -descriptors are in bus endian format! The configuration descriptor -are wTotalLength bytes apart. If a device returns less configuration -descriptor data than indicated by wTotalLength there will be a hole in -the file for the missing bytes. This information is also shown -in text form by the /proc/bus/usb/devices file, described later. - -These files may also be used to write user-level drivers for the USB -devices. You would open the /proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD file read/write, -read its descriptors to make sure it's the device you expect, and then -bind to an interface (or perhaps several) using an ioctl call. You -would issue more ioctls to the device to communicate to it using -control, bulk, or other kinds of USB transfers. The IOCTLs are -listed in the <linux/usbdevice_fs.h> file, and at this writing the -source code (linux/drivers/usb/core/devio.c) is the primary reference -for how to access devices through those files. - -Note that since by default these BBB/DDD files are writable only by -root, only root can write such user mode drivers.

The xHCI +specification describes DbC in the section 7.6. + +When DbC is initialized and enabled, it will present a debug +device through the debug port (normally the first USB3 +super-speed port). The debug device is fully compliant with +the USB framework and provides the equivalent of a very high +performance full-duplex serial link between the debug target +(the system under debugging) and a debug host. + +EARLY PRINTK +============ + +DbC has been designed to log early printk messages. One use for +this feature is kernel debugging. For example, when your machine +crashes very early before the regular console code is initialized. +Other uses include simpler, lockless logging instead of a full- +blown printk console driver and klogd. + +On the debug target system, you need to customize a debugging +kernel with CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_USB_XDBC enabled. And, add below +kernel boot parameter:: + + "earlyprintk=xdbc" + +If there are multiple xHCI controllers in your system, you can +append a host contoller index to this kernel parameter.

As +the result, you'd better disable runtime power management for +USB subsystem by adding below kernel boot parameter:: + + "usbcore.autosuspend=-1" + +Before starting the debug target, you should connect the debug +port to a USB port (root port or port of any external hub) on +the debug host. The cable used to connect these two ports +should be a USB 3.0 super-speed A-to-A debugging cable. + +During early boot of the debug target, DbC will be detected and +initialized. After initialization, the debug host should be able +to enumerate the debug device in debug target.
