Several ways for virtualization support were +proposed, paravirt_ops is the winner. +On the other hand, now there are also several IA64 virtualization +technologies like kvm/IA64, xen/IA64 and many other academic IA64 +hypervisors so that it is good to add generic virtualization +infrastructure on Linux/IA64. + + +What is paravirt_ops? +--------------------- +It has been developed on x86 as virtualization support via API, not ABI. +It allows each hypervisor to override operations which are important for +hypervisors at API level. And it allows a single kernel binary to run on +all supported execution environments including native machine. +Essentially paravirt_ops is a set of function pointers which represent +operations corresponding to low level sensitive instructions and high +level functionalities in various area. But one significant difference +from usual function pointer table is that it allows optimization with +binary patch. It is because some of these operations are very +performance sensitive and indirect call overhead is not negligible. +With binary patch, indirect C function call can be transformed into +direct C function call or in-place execution to eliminate the overhead. + +Thus, operations of paravirt_ops are classified into three categories. +- simple indirect call + These operations correspond to high level functionality so that the + overhead of indirect call isn't very important. + +- indirect call which allows optimization with binary patch + Usually these operations correspond to low level instructions. They + are called frequently and performance critical. So the overhead is + very important. + +- a set of macros for hand written assembly code + Hand written assembly codes (.S files) also need paravirtualization + because they include sensitive instructions or some of code paths in + them are very performance critical. + + +The relation to the IA64 machine vector +--------------------------------------- +Linux/IA64 has the IA64 machine vector functionality which allows the +kernel to switch implementations (e.g. initialization, ipi, dma api...) +depending on executing platform. +We can replace some implementations very easily defining a new machine +vector. Thus another approach for virtualization support would be +enhancing the machine vector functionality. +But paravirt_ops approach was taken because +- virtualization support needs wider support than machine vector does. + e.g. low level instruction paravirtualization. It must be + initialized very early before platform detection. + +- virtualization support needs more functionality like binary patch. + Probably the calling overhead might not be very large compared to the + emulation overhead of virtualization. However in the native case, the + overhead should be eliminated completely. + A single kernel binary should run on each environment including native, + and the overhead of paravirt_ops on native environment should be as + small as possible. + +- for full virtualization technology, e.g. KVM/IA64 or + Xen/IA64 HVM domain, the result would be + (the emulated platform machine vector. probably dig) + (pv_ops). + This means that the virtualization support layer should be under + the machine vector layer. + +Possibly it might be better to move some function pointers from +paravirt_ops to machine vector. In fact, Xen domU case utilizes both +pv_ops and machine vector. + + +IA64 paravirt_ops +----------------- +In this section, the concrete paravirt_ops will be discussed. +Because of the architecture difference between ia64 and x86, the +resulting set of functions is very different from x86 pv_ops. + +- C function pointer tables +They are not very performance critical so that simple C indirect +function call is acceptable.

When a suspend request -fails, all suspended devices are resumed and the system continues -to run. Suspend can be retried at a later time. - -Q: Can the driver block suspend/resume requests? - -Yes, a driver can delay its return from a suspend or resume -request until the device is ready to handle requests. It -is advantageous to return as quickly as possible from a -request as suspend/resume are done serially. - -Q: What context is a suspend/resume initiated from? - -A suspend or resume is initiated from a kernel thread context. -It is safe to block, allocate memory, initiate requests -or anything else you can do within the kernel. - -Q: Will requests continue to arrive after a suspend? - -Possibly. It is the driver's responsibility to queue(*), -fail, or drop any requests that arrive after returning -success to a suspend request. It is important that the -driver not access its device until after it receives -a resume request as the device's bus may no longer -be active. - -(*) If a driver queues requests for processing after - resume be aware that the device, network, etc. - might be in a different state than at suspend time. - It's probably better to drop requests unless - the driver is a storage device. - -Q: Do I have to manage bus-specific power management registers - -No. It is the responsibility of the bus driver to manage -PCI, USB, etc. power management registers. The bus driver -or the power management subsystem will also enable any -wake-on functionality that the device has. - -Q: So, really, what do I need to do to support suspend/resume? - -You need to save any device context that would -be lost if the device was powered off and then restore -it at resume time. When ACPI is active, there are -three levels of device suspend states; D1, D2, and D3. -(The suspend state is passed as the "data" argument -to the device callback.) With D3, the device is powered -off and loses all context, D1 and D2 are shallower power -states and require less device context to be saved.

Consumer Regulator Access (static & dynamic drivers) +======================================================= + +A consumer driver can get access to it's supply regulator by calling :- + +regulator = regulator_get(dev, "Vcc"); + +The consumer passes in it's struct device pointer and power supply ID. The core +then finds the correct regulator by consulting a machine specific lookup table. +If the lookup is successful then this call will return a pointer to the struct +regulator that supplies this consumer. + +To release the regulator the consumer driver should call :- + +regulator_put(regulator); + +Consumers can be supplied by more than one regulator e.g. codec consumer with +analog and digital supplies :- + +digital = regulator_get(dev, "Vcc"); /* digital core */ +analog = regulator_get(dev, "Avdd"); /* analog */ + +The regulator access functions regulator_get() and regulator_put() will +usually be called in your device drivers probe() and remove() respectively. + + +2. Regulator Output Enable & Disable (static & dynamic drivers) +==================================================================== + +A consumer can enable it's power supply by calling:- + +int regulator_enable(regulator); + +NOTE: The supply may already be enabled before regulator_enabled() is called. +This may happen if the consumer shares the regulator or the regulator has been +previously enabled by bootloader or kernel board initialization code. + +A consumer can determine if a regulator is enabled by calling :- + +int regulator_is_enabled(regulator); + +This will return > zero when the regulator is enabled. + + +A consumer can disable it's supply when no longer needed by calling :- + +int regulator_disable(regulator); + +NOTE: This may not disable the supply if it's shared with other consumers.

However this can be used in conjunction with is_enabled() to +determine the regulator physical output voltage. + + +4. Regulator Current Limit Control & Status (dynamic drivers) +=========================================================== + +Some consumer drivers need to be able to dynamically change their supply +current limit to match system operating points. e.g. LCD backlight driver can +change the current limit to vary the backlight brightness, USB drivers may want +to set the limit to 500mA when supplying power. + +Consumers can control their supply current limit by calling :- + +int regulator_set_current_limit(regulator, min_uV, max_uV); + +Where min_uA and max_uA are the minimum and maximum acceptable current limit in +microamps. + +NOTE: this can be called when the regulator is enabled or disabled.

Regulator Operating Mode Control & Status (dynamic drivers) +============================================================= + +Some consumers can further save system power by changing the operating mode of +their supply regulator to be more efficient when the consumers operating state +changes. e.g. consumer driver is idle and subsequently draws less current + +Regulator operating mode can be changed indirectly or directly. + +Indirect operating mode control. +-------------------------------- +Consumer drivers can request a change in their supply regulator operating mode +by calling :- + +int regulator_set_optimum_mode(struct regulator *regulator, int load_uA); + +This will cause the core to recalculate the total load on the regulator (based +on all it's consumers) and change operating mode (if necessary and permitted) +to best match the current operating load. + +The load_uA value can be determined from the consumers datasheet. e.g.most +datasheets have tables showing the max current consumed in certain situations. + +Most consumers will use indirect operating mode control since they have no +knowledge of the regulator or whether the regulator is shared with other +consumers. + +Direct operating mode control. +------------------------------ +Bespoke or tightly coupled drivers may want to directly control regulator +operating mode depending on their operating point.

Constraints exist at three levels: + + Regulator Level: This is defined by the regulator hardware + operating parameters and is specified in the regulator + datasheet. i.e. + + - voltage output is in the range 800mV -> 3500mV. + - regulator current output limit is 20mA @ 5V but is + 10mA @ 10V. + + Power Domain Level: This is defined in software by kernel + level board initialisation code. It is used to constrain a + power domain to a particular power range. i.e. + + - Domain-1 voltage is 3300mV + - Domain-2 voltage is 1400mV -> 1600mV + - Domain-3 current limit is 0mA -> 20mA. + + Consumer Level: This is defined by consumer drivers + dynamically setting voltage or current limit levels. + + e.g. a consumer backlight driver asks for a current increase + from 5mA to 10mA to increase LCD illumination. This passes + to through the levels as follows :- + + Consumer: need to increase LCD brightness.

Consumer driver interface. + + This uses a similar API to the kernel clock interface in that consumer + drivers can get and put a regulator (like they can with clocks atm) and + get/set voltage, current limit, mode, enable and disable. This should + allow consumers complete control over their supply voltage and current + limit. This also compiles out if not in use so drivers can be reused in + systems with no regulator based power control. + + See Documentation/power/regulator/consumer.txt + + 2. Regulator driver interface. + + This allows regulator drivers to register their regulators and provide + operations to the core. It also has a notifier call chain for propagating + regulator events to clients. + + See Documentation/power/regulator/regulator.txt + + 3. Machine interface. + + This interface is for machine specific code and allows the creation of + voltage/current domains (with constraints) for each regulator. It can + provide regulator constraints that will prevent device damage through + overvoltage or over current caused by buggy client drivers. It also + allows the creation of a regulator tree whereby some regulators are + supplied by others (similar to a clock tree). + + See Documentation/power/regulator/machine.txt + + 4.

The kernel virtual text starts at - 0xC0000000, with data following. There is a "protection hole" - between the end of kernel data and the start of the kernel - dynamically allocated space, but this space is still within - 0xCxxxxxxx. - - Obviously the kernel can't map any physical addresses 1:1 in - these ranges. - - - Details from Dan Malek <dan_malek@mvista.com> on 5/19/2000: - - During the early kernel initialization, the kernel virtual - memory allocator is not operational. Prior to this KVM - initialization, we choose to map virtual to physical addresses - 1:1. That is, the kernel virtual address exactly matches the - physical address on the bus. These mappings are typically done - in arch/ppc/kernel/head.S, or arch/ppc/mm/init.c. Only - absolutely necessary mappings should be done at this time, for - example board control registers or a serial uart. Normal device - driver initialization should map resources later when necessary. - - Although platform dependent, and certainly the case for embedded - 8xx, traditionally memory is mapped at physical address zero, - and I/O devices above physical address 0x80000000. The lowest - and highest (above 0xf0000000) I/O addresses are traditionally - used for devices or registers we need to map during kernel - initialization and prior to KVM operation. For this reason, - and since it followed prior PowerPC platform examples, I chose - to map the embedded 8xx kernel to the 0xc0000000 virtual address. - This way, we can enable the MMU to map the kernel for proper - operation, and still map a few windows before the KVM is operational. - - On some systems, you could possibly run the kernel at the - 0x80000000 or any other virtual address. It just depends upon - mapping that must be done prior to KVM operational. You can never - map devices or kernel spaces that overlap with the user virtual - space. This is why default IMMR mapping used by most BDM tools - won't work. They put the IMMR at something like 0x10000000 or - 0x02000000 for example. You simply can't map these addresses early - in the kernel, and continue proper system operation. - - The embedded 8xx/82xx kernel is mature enough that all you should - need to do is map the IMMR someplace at or above 0xf0000000 and it - should boot far enough to get serial console messages and KGDB - connected on any platform.

General issues - -1.1 Why a new UHCI driver, we already have one?!? - -Correct, but its internal structure got more and more mixed up by the (still -ongoing) efforts to get isochronous transfers (ISO) to work. -Since there is an increasing need for reliable ISO-transfers (especially -for USB-audio needed by TS and for a DAB-USB-Receiver build by GA and DF), -this state was a bit unsatisfying in our opinion, so we've decided (based -on knowledge and experiences with the old UHCI driver) to start -from scratch with a new approach, much simpler but at the same time more -powerful. -It is inspired by the way Win98/Win2000 handles USB requests via URBs, -but it's definitely 100% free of MS-code and doesn't crash while -unplugging an used ISO-device like Win98 ;-) -Some code for HW setup and root hub management was taken from the -original UHCI driver, but heavily modified to fit into the new code. -The invention of the basic concept, and major coding were completed in two -days (and nights) on the 16th and 17th of October 1999, now known as the -great USB-October-Revolution started by GA, DF, and TS ;-) - -Since the concept is in no way UHCI dependent, we hope that it will also be -transferred to the OHCI-driver, so both drivers share a common API. - -1.2. Advantages and disadvantages - -+ All USB transfer types work now! -+ Asynchronous operation -+ Simple, but powerful interface (only two calls for start and cancel) -+ Easy migration to the new API, simplified by a compatibility API -+ Simple usage of ISO transfers -+ Automatic linking of requests -+ ISO transfers allow variable length for each frame and striping -+ No CPU dependent and non-portable atomic memory access, no asm()-inlines -+ Tested on x86 and Alpha - -- Rewriting for ISO transfers needed - -1.3. Is there some compatibility to the old API? - -Yes, but only for control, bulk and interrupt transfers. We've implemented -some wrapper calls for these transfer types. The usbcore works fine with -these wrappers. For ISO there's no compatibility, because the old ISO-API -and its semantics were unnecessary complicated in our opinion. - -1.4. What's really working? - -As said above, CTRL and BULK already work fine even with the wrappers, -so legacy code wouldn't notice the change. -Regarding to Thomas, ISO transfers now run stable with USB audio. -INT transfers (e.g. mouse driver) work fine, too. - -1.5. Are there any bugs? - -No ;-) -Hm... -Well, of course this implementation needs extensive testing on all available -hardware, but we believe that any fixes shouldn't harm the overall concept. - -1.6. What should be done next? - -A large part of the request handling seems to be identical for UHCI and -OHCI, so it would be a good idea to extract the common parts and have only -the HW specific stuff in uhci.c. Furthermore, all other USB device drivers -should need URBification, if they use isochronous or interrupt transfers. -One thing missing in the current implementation (and the old UHCI driver) -is fair queueing for BULK transfers. Since this would need (in principle) -the alteration of already constructed TD chains (to switch from depth to -breadth execution), another way has to be found. Maybe some simple -heuristics work with the same effect. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -2. Internal structure and mechanisms - -To get quickly familiar with the internal structures, here's a short -description how the new UHCI driver works. However, the ultimate source of -truth is only uhci.c! - -2.1. Descriptor structure (QHs and TDs) - -During initialization, the following skeleton is allocated in init_skel: - - framespecific | common chain - -framelist[] -[ 0 ]-----> TD --> TD -------\ -[ 1 ]-----> TD --> TD --------> TD ----> QH -------> QH -------> QH ---> NULL - ... TD --> TD -------/ -[1023]-----> TD --> TD ------/ - - ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ - 1024 TDs for 7 TDs for 1 TD for Start of Start of End Chain - ISO INT (2-128ms) 1ms-INT CTRL Chain BULK Chain - -For each CTRL or BULK transfer a new QH is allocated and the containing data -transfers are appended as (vertical) TDs. After building the whole QH with its -dangling TDs, the QH is inserted before the BULK Chain QH (for CTRL) or -before the End Chain QH (for BULK). Since only the QH->next pointers are -affected, no atomic memory operation is required. The three QHs in the -common chain are never equipped with TDs! - -For ISO or INT, the TD for each frame is simply inserted into the appropriate -ISO/INT-TD-chain for the desired frame. The 7 skeleton INT-TDs are scattered -among the 1024 frames similar to the old UHCI driver. - -For CTRL/BULK/ISO, the last TD in the transfer has the IOC-bit set. For INT, -every TD (there is only one...) has the IOC-bit set. - -Besides the data for the UHCI controller (2 or 4 32bit words), the descriptors -are double-linked through the .vertical and .horizontal elements in the -SW data of the descriptor (using the double-linked list structures and -operations), but SW-linking occurs only in closed domains, i.e. for each of -the 1024 ISO-chains and the 8 INT-chains there is a closed cycle. This -simplifies all insertions and unlinking operations and avoids costly -bus_to_virt()-calls. - -2.2. URB structure and linking to QH/TDs - -During assembly of the QH and TDs of the requested action, these descriptors -are stored in urb->urb_list, so the allocated QH/TD descriptors are bound to -this URB. -If the assembly was successful and the descriptors were added to the HW chain, -the corresponding URB is inserted into a global URB list for this controller. -This list stores all pending URBs. - -2.3. Interrupt processing - -Since UHCI provides no means to directly detect completed transactions, the -following is done in each UHCI interrupt (uhci_interrupt()): - -For each URB in the pending queue (process_urb()), the ACTIVE-flag of the -associated TDs are processed (depending on the transfer type -process_{transfer|interrupt|iso}()). If the TDs are not active anymore, -they indicate the completion of the transaction and the status is calculated. -Inactive QH/TDs are removed from the HW chain (since the host controller -already removed the TDs from the QH, no atomic access is needed) and -eventually the URB is marked as completed (OK or errors) and removed from the -pending queue. Then the next linked URB is submitted. After (or immediately -before) that, the completion handler is called. - -2.4. Unlinking URBs - -First, all QH/TDs stored in the URB are unlinked from the HW chain. -To ensure that the host controller really left a vertical TD chain, we -wait for one frame. After that, the TDs are physically destroyed. - -2.5. URB linking and the consequences - -Since URBs can be linked and the corresponding submit_urb is called in -the UHCI-interrupt, all work associated with URB/QH/TD assembly has to be -interrupt save. This forces kmalloc to use GFP_ATOMIC in the interrupt. diff --git a/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.au0828 b/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.au0828 index 86d1c8e7b18..eedc399e8de 100644 --- a/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.au0828 +++ b/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.au0828 @@ -2,3 +2,4 @@ 1 -> Hauppauge HVR950Q (au0828) [2040:7200,2040:7210,2040:7217,2040:721b,2040:721f,2040:7280,0fd9:0008] 2 -> Hauppauge HVR850 (au0828) [2040:7240] 3 -> DViCO FusionHDTV USB (au0828) [0fe9:d620] + 4 -> Hauppauge HVR950Q rev xxF8 (au0828) [2040:7201,2040:7211,2040:7281] diff --git a/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.em28xx b/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.em28xx index 10591467ef1..89c7f32abf9 100644 --- a/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.em28xx +++ b/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.em28xx @@ -1,11 +1,11 @@ 0 -> Unknown EM2800 video grabber (em2800) [eb1a:2800] - 1 -> Unknown EM2750/28xx video grabber (em2820/em2840) [eb1a:2750,eb1a:2820,eb1a:2821,eb1a:2860,eb1a:2861,eb1a:2870,eb1a:2881,eb1a:2883] + 1 -> Unknown EM2750/28xx video grabber (em2820/em2840) [eb1a:2820,eb1a:2821,eb1a:2860,eb1a:2861,eb1a:2870,eb1a:2881,eb1a:2883] 2 -> Terratec Cinergy 250 USB (em2820/em2840) [0ccd:0036] 3 -> Pinnacle PCTV USB 2 (em2820/em2840) [2304:0208] 4 -> Hauppauge WinTV USB 2 (em2820/em2840) [2040:4200,2040:4201] 5 -> MSI VOX USB 2.0 (em2820/em2840) 6 -> Terratec Cinergy 200 USB (em2800) - 7 -> Leadtek Winfast USB II (em2800) + 7 -> Leadtek Winfast USB II (em2800) [0413:6023] 8 -> Kworld USB2800 (em2800) 9 -> Pinnacle Dazzle DVC 90/DVC 100 (em2820/em2840) [2304:0207,2304:021a] 10 -> Hauppauge WinTV HVR 900 (em2880) [2040:6500] @@ -14,7 +14,46 @@ 13 -> Terratec Prodigy XS (em2880) [0ccd:0047] 14 -> Pixelview Prolink PlayTV USB 2.0 (em2820/em2840) 15 -> V-Gear PocketTV (em2800) - 16 -> Hauppauge WinTV HVR 950 (em2880) [2040:6513,2040:6517,2040:651b,2040:651f] + 16 -> Hauppauge WinTV HVR 950 (em2883) [2040:6513,2040:6517,2040:651b,2040:651f] 17 -> Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick (em2880) [2304:0227] 18 -> Hauppauge WinTV HVR 900 (R2) (em2880) [2040:6502] 19 -> PointNix Intra-Oral Camera (em2860) + 20 -> AMD ATI TV Wonder HD 600 (em2880) [0438:b002] + 21 -> eMPIA Technology, Inc.
