UBI stands for "Unsorted +Block Images". UBIFS is a flash file system, which means it is designed +to work with flash devices. It is important to understand, that UBIFS +is completely different to any traditional file-system in Linux, like +Ext2, XFS, JFS, etc. UBIFS represents a separate class of file-systems +which work with MTD devices, not block devices. The other Linux +file-system of this class is JFFS2. + +To make it more clear, here is a small comparison of MTD devices and +block devices. + +1 MTD devices represent flash devices and they consist of eraseblocks of + rather large size, typically about 128KiB. Block devices consist of + small blocks, typically 512 bytes. +2 MTD devices support 3 main operations - read from some offset within an + eraseblock, write to some offset within an eraseblock, and erase a whole + eraseblock. Block devices support 2 main operations - read a whole + block and write a whole block. +3 The whole eraseblock has to be erased before it becomes possible to + re-write its contents. Blocks may be just re-written. +4 Eraseblocks become worn out after some number of erase cycles - + typically 100K-1G for SLC NAND and NOR flashes, and 1K-10K for MLC + NAND flashes. Blocks do not have the wear-out property. +5 Eraseblocks may become bad (only on NAND flashes) and software should + deal with this. Blocks on hard drives typically do not become bad, + because hardware has mechanisms to substitute bad blocks, at least in + modern LBA disks. + +It should be quite obvious why UBIFS is very different to traditional +file-systems. + +UBIFS works on top of UBI. UBI is a separate software layer which may be +found in drivers/mtd/ubi. UBI is basically a volume management and +wear-leveling layer. It provides so called UBI volumes which is a higher +level abstraction than a MTD device. The programming model of UBI devices +is very similar to MTD devices - they still consist of large eraseblocks, +they have read/write/erase operations, but UBI devices are devoid of +limitations like wear and bad blocks (items 4 and 5 in the above list). + +In a sense, UBIFS is a next generation of JFFS2 file-system, but it is +very different and incompatible to JFFS2. The following are the main +differences. + +* JFFS2 works on top of MTD devices, UBIFS depends on UBI and works on + top of UBI volumes. +* JFFS2 does not have on-media index and has to build it while mounting, + which requires full media scan. UBIFS maintains the FS indexing + information on the flash media and does not require full media scan, + so it mounts many times faster than JFFS2. +* JFFS2 is a write-through file-system, while UBIFS supports write-back, + which makes UBIFS much faster on writes. + +Similarly to JFFS2, UBIFS supports on-the-flight compression which makes +it possible to fit quite a lot of data to the flash. + +Similarly to JFFS2, UBIFS is tolerant of unclean reboots and power-cuts. +It does not need stuff like ckfs.ext2. UBIFS automatically replays its +journal and recovers from crashes, ensuring that the on-flash data +structures are consistent. + +UBIFS scales logarithmically (most of the data structures it uses are +trees), so the mount time and memory consumption do not linearly depend +on the flash size, like in case of JFFS2. This is because UBIFS +maintains the FS index on the flash media. However, UBIFS depends on +UBI, which scales linearly. So overall UBI/UBIFS stack scales linearly. +Nevertheless, UBI/UBIFS scales considerably better than JFFS2. + +The authors of UBIFS believe, that it is possible to develop UBI2 which +would scale logarithmically as well. UBI2 would support the same API as UBI, +but it would be binary incompatible to UBI.

Typically, the configuration process involves adding + an alias line to /etc/modprobe.conf as well as editing other system startup + scripts and/or configuration files. Many popular Linux distributions ship + with tools to make these changes for you. To learn the proper way to + configure a network device for your system, refer to your distribution + documentation. If during this process you are asked for the driver or module + name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for the Intel 10GbE Family of + Adapters is ixgb. + + Viewing Link Messages + --------------------- + Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is + restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on + your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following: + + dmesg -n 8 + + NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots. + + + Jumbo Frames + ------------ + The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is + enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500. + The maximum value for the MTU is 16114. Use the ifconfig command to + increase the MTU size. For example: + + ifconfig ethx mtu 9000 up + + The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 16114. This value coincides + with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 16128. + + + Ethtool + ------- + The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and + diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. Ethtool + version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality. + + The latest release of ethtool can be found from + http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel + + NOTE: Ethtool 1.6 only supports a limited set of ethtool options.

If this situation occurs using a different + cable assembly may resolve the issue. + + CX4 Server Adapter Cable Interoperability Issues with HP Procurve 3400cl + Switch Port + ------------------------------------------------------------------------ + Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 Server + adapter is connected to an HP Procurve 3400cl switch port using short cables + (1 m or shorter). If this situation occurs, using a longer cable may resolve + the issue. + + Excessive CRC errors may be observed using Fujitsu 24AWG cable assemblies that + Are 10 m or longer or where using a Leoni 15 m/24AWG cable assembly. The CRC + errors may be received either by the CX4 Server adapter or at the switch. If + this situation occurs, using a different cable assembly may resolve the issue. + + + Jumbo Frames System Requirement + ------------------------------- + Memory allocation failures have been observed on Linux systems with 64 MB + of RAM or less that are running Jumbo Frames. If you are using Jumbo + Frames, your system may require more than the advertised minimum + requirement of 64 MB of system memory. + + + Performance Degradation with Jumbo Frames + ----------------------------------------- + Degradation in throughput performance may be observed in some Jumbo frames + environments. If this is observed, increasing the application's socket buffer + size and/or increasing the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_*mem entry values may help. + See the specific application manual and /usr/src/linux*/Documentation/ + networking/ip-sysctl.txt for more details. + + + Allocating Rx Buffers when Using Jumbo Frames + --------------------------------------------- + Allocating Rx buffers when using Jumbo Frames on 2.6.x kernels may fail if + the available memory is heavily fragmented. This issue may be seen with PCI-X + adapters or with packet split disabled. This can be reduced or eliminated + by changing the amount of available memory for receive buffer allocation, by + increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes. + + + Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network + ------------------------------------------------------ + Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have + one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain + (non-partitioned switch) behave as expected.

It can be used to +test most of the mac80211 functionality and user space tools (e.g., +hostapd and wpa_supplicant) in a way that matches very closely with +the normal case of using real WLAN hardware. From the mac80211 view +point, mac80211_hwsim is yet another hardware driver, i.e., no changes +to mac80211 are needed to use this testing tool. + +The main goal for mac80211_hwsim is to make it easier for developers +to test their code and work with new features to mac80211, hostapd, +and wpa_supplicant. The simulated radios do not have the limitations +of real hardware, so it is easy to generate an arbitrary test setup +and always reproduce the same setup for future tests. In addition, +since all radio operation is simulated, any channel can be used in +tests regardless of regulatory rules. + +mac80211_hwsim kernel module has a parameter 'radios' that can be used +to select how many radios are simulated (default 2). This allows +configuration of both very simply setups (e.g., just a single access +point and a station) or large scale tests (multiple access points with +hundreds of stations). + +mac80211_hwsim works by tracking the current channel of each virtual +radio and copying all transmitted frames to all other radios that are +currently enabled and on the same channel as the transmitting +radio. Software encryption in mac80211 is used so that the frames are +actually encrypted over the virtual air interface to allow more +complete testing of encryption. + +A global monitoring netdev, hwsim#, is created independent of +mac80211. This interface can be used to monitor all transmitted frames +regardless of channel. + + +Simple example + +This example shows how to use mac80211_hwsim to simulate two radios: +one to act as an access point and the other as a station that +associates with the AP. hostapd and wpa_supplicant are used to take +care of WPA2-PSK authentication.

There is no +standard PowerPC firmware interface, so the boot wrapper is designed to +be adaptable for each kind of image that needs to be built. + +The boot wrapper can be found in the arch/powerpc/boot/ directory. The +Makefile in that directory has targets for all the available image types. +The different image types are used to support all of the various firmware +interfaces found on PowerPC platforms. OpenFirmware is the most commonly +used firmware type on general purpose PowerPC systems from Apple, IBM and +others. U-Boot is typically found on embedded PowerPC hardware, but there +are a handful of other firmware implementations which are also popular. Each +firmware interface requires a different image format. + +The boot wrapper is built from the makefile in arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile and +it uses the wrapper script (arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper) to generate target +image. The details of the build system is discussed in the next section. +Currently, the following image format targets exist: + + cuImage.%: Backwards compatible uImage for older version of + U-Boot (for versions that don't understand the device + tree). This image embeds a device tree blob inside + the image. The boot wrapper, kernel and device tree + are all embedded inside the U-Boot uImage file format + with boot wrapper code that extracts data from the old + bd_info structure and loads the data into the device + tree before jumping into the kernel. + Because of the series of #ifdefs found in the + bd_info structure used in the old U-Boot interfaces, + cuImages are platform specific. Each specific + U-Boot platform has a different platform init file + which populates the embedded device tree with data + from the platform specific bd_info file. The platform + specific cuImage platform init code can be found in + arch/powerpc/boot/cuboot.*.c. Selection of the correct + cuImage init code for a specific board can be found in + the wrapper structure. + dtbImage.%: Similar to zImage, except device tree blob is embedded + inside the image instead of provided by firmware. The + output image file can be either an elf file or a flat + binary depending on the platform. + dtbImages are used on systems which do not have an + interface for passing a device tree directly. + dtbImages are similar to simpleImages except that + dtbImages have platform specific code for extracting + data from the board firmware, but simpleImages do not + talk to the firmware at all. + PlayStation 3 support uses dtbImage. So do Embedded + Planet boards using the PlanetCore firmware. Board + specific initialization code is typically found in a + file named arch/powerpc/boot/<platform>.c; but this + can be overridden by the wrapper script. + simpleImage.%: Firmware independent compressed image that does not + depend on any particular firmware interface and embeds + a device tree blob. This image is a flat binary that + can be loaded to any location in RAM and jumped to. + Firmware cannot pass any configuration data to the + kernel with this image type and it depends entirely on + the embedded device tree for all information. + The simpleImage is useful for booting systems with + an unknown firmware interface or for booting from + a debugger when no firmware is present (such as on + the Xilinx Virtex platform). The only assumption that + simpleImage makes is that RAM is correctly initialized + and that the MMU is either off or has RAM mapped to + base address 0. + simpleImage also supports inserting special platform + specific initialization code to the start of the bootup + sequence. The virtex405 platform uses this feature to + ensure that the cache is invalidated before caching + is enabled. Platform specific initialization code is + added as part of the wrapper script and is keyed on + the image target name. For example, all + simpleImage.virtex405-* targets will add the + virtex405-head.S initialization code (This also means + that the dts file for virtex405 targets should be + named (virtex405-<board>.dts). Search the wrapper + script for 'virtex405' and see the file + arch/powerpc/boot/virtex405-head.S for details. + treeImage.%; Image format for used with OpenBIOS firmware found + on some ppc4xx hardware. This image embeds a device + tree blob inside the image. + uImage: Native image format used by U-Boot. The uImage target + does not add any boot code. It just wraps a compressed + vmlinux in the uImage data structure. This image + requires a version of U-Boot that is able to pass + a device tree to the kernel at boot. If using an older + version of U-Boot, then you need to use a cuImage + instead. + zImage.%: Image format which does not embed a device tree. + Used by OpenFirmware and other firmware interfaces + which are able to supply a device tree. This image + expects firmware to provide the device tree at boot. + Typically, if you have general purpose PowerPC + hardware then you want this image format. + +Image types which embed a device tree blob (simpleImage, dtbImage, treeImage, +and cuImage) all generate the device tree blob from a file in the +arch/powerpc/boot/dts/ directory. The Makefile selects the correct device +tree source based on the name of the target. Therefore, if the kernel is +built with 'make treeImage.walnut simpleImage.virtex405-ml403', then the +build system will use arch/powerpc/boot/dts/walnut.dts to build +treeImage.walnut and arch/powerpc/boot/dts/virtex405-ml403.dts to build +the simpleImage.virtex405-ml403. + +Two special targets called 'zImage' and 'zImage.initrd' also exist. These +targets build all the default images as selected by the kernel configuration. +Default images are selected by the boot wrapper Makefile +(arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile) by adding targets to the $image-y variable. Look +at the Makefile to see which default image targets are available. + +How it is built +--------------- +arch/powerpc is designed to support multiplatform kernels, which means +that a single vmlinux image can be booted on many different target boards. +It also means that the boot wrapper must be able to wrap for many kinds of +images on a single build. The design decision was made to not use any +conditional compilation code (#ifdef, etc) in the boot wrapper source code. +All of the boot wrapper pieces are buildable at any time regardless of the +kernel configuration. Building all the wrapper bits on every kernel build +also ensures that obscure parts of the wrapper are at the very least compile +tested in a large variety of environments. + +The wrapper is adapted for different image types at link time by linking in +just the wrapper bits that are appropriate for the image type. The 'wrapper +script' (found in arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper) is called by the Makefile and +is responsible for selecting the correct wrapper bits for the image type. +The arguments are well documented in the script's comment block, so they +are not repeated here. However, it is worth mentioning that the script +uses the -p (platform) argument as the main method of deciding which wrapper +bits to compile in. Look for the large 'case "$platform" in' block in the +middle of the script. This is also the place where platform specific fixups +can be selected by changing the link order. + +In particular, care should be taken when working with cuImages. cuImage +wrapper bits are very board specific and care should be taken to make sure +the target you are trying to build is supported by the wrapper bits. diff --git a/Documentation/powerpc/dts-bindings/fsl/board.txt b/Documentation/powerpc/dts-bindings/fsl/board.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..74ae6f1cd2d --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/powerpc/dts-bindings/fsl/board.txt @@ -0,0 +1,29 @@ +* Board Control and Status (BCSR) + +Required properties: + + - device_type : Should be "board-control" + - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device + +Example: + + bcsr@f8000000 { + device_type = "board-control"; + reg = <f8000000 8000>; + }; + +* Freescale on board FPGA + +This is the memory-mapped registers for on board FPGA. + +Required properities: +- compatible : should be "fsl,fpga-pixis". +- reg : should contain the address and the lenght of the FPPGA register + set. + +Example (MPC8610HPCD): + + board-control@e8000000 { + compatible = "fsl,fpga-pixis"; + reg = <0xe8000000 32>; + }; diff --git a/Documentation/powerpc/dts-bindings/fsl/cpm_qe/cpm.txt b/Documentation/powerpc/dts-bindings/fsl/cpm_qe/cpm.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..088fc471e03 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/powerpc/dts-bindings/fsl/cpm_qe/cpm.txt @@ -0,0 +1,67 @@ +* Freescale Communications Processor Module + +NOTE: This is an interim binding, and will likely change slightly, +as more devices are supported.

Because userspace might want to perform some additional smarter +tasks when the key is pressed, rfkill provides userspace the possibility to +take over the task to handle the key events. + +=============================================================================== +2: Implementation details + +The rfkill subsystem is composed of various components: the rfkill class, the +rfkill-input module (an input layer handler), and some specific input layer +events. + +The rfkill class provides kernel drivers with an interface that allows them to +know when they should enable or disable a wireless network device transmitter. +This is enabled by the CONFIG_RFKILL Kconfig option. + +The rfkill class support makes sure userspace will be notified of all state +changes on rfkill devices through uevents. It provides a notification chain +for interested parties in the kernel to also get notified of rfkill state +changes in other drivers. It creates several sysfs entries which can be used +by userspace. See section "Userspace support". + +The rfkill-input module provides the kernel with the ability to implement a +basic response when the user presses a key or button (or toggles a switch) +related to rfkill functionality. It is an in-kernel implementation of default +policy of reacting to rfkill-related input events and neither mandatory nor +required for wireless drivers to operate. It is enabled by the +CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT Kconfig option. + +rfkill-input is a rfkill-related events input layer handler. This handler will +listen to all rfkill key events and will change the rfkill state of the +wireless devices accordingly. With this option enabled userspace could either +do nothing or simply perform monitoring tasks. + +The rfkill-input module also provides EPO (emergency power-off) functionality +for all wireless transmitters. This function cannot be overridden, and it is +always active. rfkill EPO is related to *_RFKILL_ALL input layer events. + + +Important terms for the rfkill subsystem: + +In order to avoid confusion, we avoid the term "switch" in rfkill when it is +referring to an electronic control circuit that enables or disables a +transmitter. We reserve it for the physical device a human manipulates +(which is an input device, by the way): + +rfkill switch: + + A physical device a human manipulates. Its state can be perceived by + the kernel either directly (through a GPIO pin, ACPI GPE) or by its + effect on a rfkill line of a wireless device. + +rfkill controller: + + A hardware circuit that controls the state of a rfkill line, which a + kernel driver can interact with *to modify* that state (i.e. it has + either write-only or read/write access). + +rfkill line: + + An input channel (hardware or software) of a wireless device, which + causes a wireless transmitter to stop emitting energy (BLOCK) when it + is active. Point of view is extremely important here: rfkill lines are + always seen from the PoV of a wireless device (and its driver). + +soft rfkill line/software rfkill line: + + A rfkill line the wireless device driver can directly change the state + of. Related to rfkill_state RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED. + +hard rfkill line/hardware rfkill line: + + A rfkill line that works fully in hardware or firmware, and that cannot + be overridden by the kernel driver. The hardware device or the + firmware just exports its status to the driver, but it is read-only. + Related to rfkill_state RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED. + +The enum rfkill_state describes the rfkill state of a transmitter: + +When a rfkill line or rfkill controller is in the RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED state, +the wireless transmitter (radio TX circuit for example) is *enabled*. When the +it is in the RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED or RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED, the +wireless transmitter is to be *blocked* from operating. + +RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED indicates that a call to toggle_radio() can change +that state. RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED indicates that a call to toggle_radio() +will not be able to change the state and will return with a suitable error if +attempts are made to set the state to RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED. + +RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED is used by drivers to signal that the device is +locked in the BLOCKED state by a hardwire rfkill line (typically an input pin +that, when active, forces the transmitter to be disabled) which the driver +CANNOT override. + +Full rfkill functionality requires two different subsystems to cooperate: the +input layer and the rfkill class. The input layer issues *commands* to the +entire system requesting that devices registered to the rfkill class change +state. The way this interaction happens is not complex, but it is not obvious +either: + +Kernel Input layer: + + * Generates KEY_WWAN, KEY_WLAN, KEY_BLUETOOTH, SW_RFKILL_ALL, and + other such events when the user presses certain keys, buttons, or + toggles certain physical switches. + + THE INPUT LAYER IS NEVER USED TO PROPAGATE STATUS, NOTIFICATIONS OR THE + KIND OF STUFF AN ON-SCREEN-DISPLAY APPLICATION WOULD REPORT. It is + used to issue *commands* for the system to change behaviour, and these + commands may or may not be carried out by some kernel driver or + userspace application. It follows that doing user feedback based only + on input events is broken, as there is no guarantee that an input event + will be acted upon. + + Most wireless communication device drivers implementing rfkill + functionality MUST NOT generate these events, and have no reason to + register themselves with the input layer. Doing otherwise is a common + misconception. There is an API to propagate rfkill status change + information, and it is NOT the input layer. + +rfkill class: + + * Calls a hook in a driver to effectively change the wireless + transmitter state; + * Keeps track of the wireless transmitter state (with help from + the driver); + * Generates userspace notifications (uevents) and a call to a + notification chain (kernel) when there is a wireless transmitter + state change; + * Connects a wireless communications driver with the common rfkill + control system, which, for example, allows actions such as + "switch all bluetooth devices offline" to be carried out by + userspace or by rfkill-input. + + THE RFKILL CLASS NEVER ISSUES INPUT EVENTS. THE RFKILL CLASS DOES + NOT LISTEN TO INPUT EVENTS. NO DRIVER USING THE RFKILL CLASS SHALL + EVER LISTEN TO, OR ACT ON RFKILL INPUT EVENTS. Doing otherwise is + a layering violation. + + Most wireless data communication drivers in the kernel have just to + implement the rfkill class API to work properly. Interfacing to the + input layer is not often required (and is very often a *bug*) on + wireless drivers. + + Platform drivers often have to attach to the input layer to *issue* + (but never to listen to) rfkill events for rfkill switches, and also to + the rfkill class to export a control interface for the platform rfkill + controllers to the rfkill subsystem. This does NOT mean the rfkill + switch is attached to a rfkill class (doing so is almost always wrong). + It just means the same kernel module is the driver for different + devices (rfkill switches and rfkill controllers). + + +Userspace input handlers (uevents) or kernel input handlers (rfkill-input): + + * Implements the policy of what should happen when one of the input + layer events related to rfkill operation is received. + * Uses the sysfs interface (userspace) or private rfkill API calls + to tell the devices registered with the rfkill class to change + their state (i.e. translates the input layer event into real + action). + * rfkill-input implements EPO by handling EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL 0 + (power off all transmitters) in a special way: it ignores any + overrides and local state cache and forces all transmitters to the + RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED state (including those which are already + supposed to be BLOCKED). Note that the opposite event (power on all + transmitters) is handled normally. + +Userspace uevent handler or kernel platform-specific drivers hooked to the +rfkill notifier chain: + + * Taps into the rfkill notifier chain or to KOBJ_CHANGE uevents, + in order to know when a device that is registered with the rfkill + class changes state; + * Issues feedback notifications to the user; + * In the rare platforms where this is required, synthesizes an input + event to command all *OTHER* rfkill devices to also change their + statues when a specific rfkill device changes state. + + +=============================================================================== +3: Kernel driver guidelines + +Remember: point-of-view is everything for a driver that connects to the rfkill +subsystem. All the details below must be measured/perceived from the point of +view of the specific driver being modified. + +The first thing one needs to know is whether his driver should be talking to +the rfkill class or to the input layer. In rare cases (platform drivers), it +could happen that you need to do both, as platform drivers often handle a +variety of devices in the same driver. + +Do not mistake input devices for rfkill controllers. The only type of "rfkill +switch" device that is to be registered with the rfkill class are those +directly controlling the circuits that cause a wireless transmitter to stop +working (or the software equivalent of them), i.e. what we call a rfkill +controller. Every other kind of "rfkill switch" is just an input device and +MUST NOT be registered with the rfkill class. + +A driver should register a device with the rfkill class when ALL of the +following conditions are met (they define a rfkill controller): + +1. The device is/controls a data communications wireless transmitter; + +2. The kernel can interact with the hardware/firmware to CHANGE the wireless + transmitter state (block/unblock TX operation); + +3. The transmitter can be made to not emit any energy when "blocked": + rfkill is not about blocking data transmissions, it is about blocking + energy emission; + +A driver should register a device with the input subsystem to issue +rfkill-related events (KEY_WLAN, KEY_BLUETOOTH, KEY_WWAN, KEY_WIMAX, +SW_RFKILL_ALL, etc) when ALL of the folowing conditions are met: + +1. It is directly related to some physical device the user interacts with, to + command the O.S./firmware/hardware to enable/disable a data communications + wireless transmitter. + + Examples of the physical device are: buttons, keys and switches the user + will press/touch/slide/switch to enable or disable the wireless + communication device. + +2. It is NOT slaved to another device, i.e. there is no other device that + issues rfkill-related input events in preference to this one. -The system inside the kernel has been split into 2 separate sections: - 1 - RFKILL - 2 - RFKILL_INPUT + Please refer to the corner cases and examples section for more details. -The first option enables rfkill support and will make sure userspace will -be notified of any events through the input device. It also creates several -sysfs entries which can be used by userspace. See section "Userspace support". +When in doubt, do not issue input events. For drivers that should generate +input events in some platforms, but not in others (e.g. b43), the best solution +is to NEVER generate input events in the first place. That work should be +deferred to a platform-specific kernel module (which will know when to generate +events through the rfkill notifier chain) or to userspace. This avoids the +usual maintenance problems with DMI whitelisting. -The second option provides an rfkill input handler. This handler will -listen to all rfkill key events and will toggle the radio accordingly. -With this option enabled userspace could either do nothing or simply -perform monitoring tasks. +Corner cases and examples: ==================================== -2: Driver support -To build a driver with rfkill subsystem support, the driver should -depend on the Kconfig symbol RFKILL; it should _not_ depend on -RKFILL_INPUT. +1. If the device is an input device that, because of hardware or firmware, +causes wireless transmitters to be blocked regardless of the kernel's will, it +is still just an input device, and NOT to be registered with the rfkill class. -Unless key events trigger an interrupt to which the driver listens, polling -will be required to determine the key state changes. For this the input -layer providers the input-polldev handler. +2. If the wireless transmitter switch control is read-only, it is an input +device and not to be registered with the rfkill class (and maybe not to be made +an input layer event source either, see below). -A driver should implement a few steps to correctly make use of the -rfkill subsystem. First for non-polling drivers: +3. If there is some other device driver *closer* to the actual hardware the +user interacted with (the button/switch/key) to issue an input event, THAT is +the device driver that should be issuing input events. - - rfkill_allocate() - - input_allocate_device() - - rfkill_register() - - input_register_device() +E.g: + [RFKILL slider switch] -- [GPIO hardware] -- [WLAN card rf-kill input] + (platform driver) (wireless card driver) + +The user is closer to the RFKILL slide switch plaform driver, so the driver +which must issue input events is the platform driver looking at the GPIO +hardware, and NEVER the wireless card driver (which is just a slave). It is +very likely that there are other leaves than just the WLAN card rf-kill input +(e.g. a bluetooth card, etc)... + +On the other hand, some embedded devices do this: + + [RFKILL slider switch] -- [WLAN card rf-kill input] + (wireless card driver) + +In this situation, the wireless card driver *could* register itself as an input +device and issue rf-kill related input events... but in order to AVOID the need +for DMI whitelisting, the wireless card driver does NOT do it. Userspace (HAL) +or a platform driver (that exists only on these embedded devices) will do the +dirty job of issuing the input events. + + +COMMON MISTAKES in kernel drivers, related to rfkill: +==================================== + +1. NEVER confuse input device keys and buttons with input device switches. + + 1a. Switches are always set or reset. They report the current state + (on position or off position). + + 1b. Keys and buttons are either in the pressed or not-pressed state, and + that's it. A "button" that latches down when you press it, and + unlatches when you press it again is in fact a switch as far as input + devices go. + +Add the SW_* events you need for switches, do NOT try to emulate a button using +KEY_* events just because there is no such SW_* event yet. Do NOT try to use, +for example, KEY_BLUETOOTH when you should be using SW_BLUETOOTH instead. + +2. Input device switches (sources of EV_SW events) DO store their current state +(so you *must* initialize it by issuing a gratuitous input layer event on +driver start-up and also when resuming from sleep), and that state CAN be +queried from userspace through IOCTLs. There is no sysfs interface for this, +but that doesn't mean you should break things trying to hook it to the rfkill +class to get a sysfs interface :-) + +3. Do not issue *_RFKILL_ALL events by default, unless you are sure it is the +correct event for your switch/button. These events are emergency power-off +events when they are trying to turn the transmitters off. An example of an +input device which SHOULD generate *_RFKILL_ALL events is the wireless-kill +switch in a laptop which is NOT a hotkey, but a real switch that kills radios +in hardware, even if the O.S. has gone to lunch. An example of an input device +which SHOULD NOT generate *_RFKILL_ALL events by default, is any sort of hot +key that does nothing by itself, as well as any hot key that is type-specific +(e.g. the one for WLAN). + + +3.1 Guidelines for wireless device drivers +------------------------------------------ + +1. Each independent transmitter in a wireless device (usually there is only one +transmitter per device) should have a SINGLE rfkill class attached to it. + +2. If the device does not have any sort of hardware assistance to allow the +driver to rfkill the device, the driver should emulate it by taking all actions +required to silence the transmitter. + +3. If it is impossible to silence the transmitter (i.e. it still emits energy, +even if it is just in brief pulses, when there is no data to transmit and there +is no hardware support to turn it off) do NOT lie to the users. Do not attach +it to a rfkill class. The rfkill subsystem does not deal with data +transmission, it deals with energy emission. If the transmitter is emitting +energy, it is not blocked in rfkill terms. + +4. It doesn't matter if the device has multiple rfkill input lines affecting +the same transmitter, their combined state is to be exported as a single state +per transmitter (see rule 1). + +This rule exists because users of the rfkill subsystem expect to get (and set, +when possible) the overall transmitter rfkill state, not of a particular rfkill +line. + +Example of a WLAN wireless driver connected to the rfkill subsystem: +-------------------------------------------------------------------- + +A certain WLAN card has one input pin that causes it to block the transmitter +and makes the status of that input pin available (only for reading!) to the +kernel driver. This is a hard rfkill input line (it cannot be overridden by +the kernel driver). + +The card also has one PCI register that, if manipulated by the driver, causes +it to block the transmitter. This is a soft rfkill input line. + +It has also a thermal protection circuitry that shuts down its transmitter if +the card overheats, and makes the status of that protection available (only for +reading!) to the kernel driver. This is also a hard rfkill input line. + +If either one of these rfkill lines are active, the transmitter is blocked by +the hardware and forced offline. + +The driver should allocate and attach to its struct device *ONE* instance of +the rfkill class (there is only one transmitter). + +It can implement the get_state() hook, and return RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED if +either one of its two hard rfkill input lines are active. If the two hard +rfkill lines are inactive, it must return RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED if its soft +rfkill input line is active. Only if none of the rfkill input lines are +active, will it return RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED. -For polling drivers: +If it doesn't implement the get_state() hook, it must make sure that its calls +to rfkill_force_state() are enough to keep the status always up-to-date, and it +must do a rfkill_force_state() on resume from sleep. +Every time the driver gets a notification from the card that one of its rfkill +lines changed state (polling might be needed on badly designed cards that don't +generate interrupts for such events), it recomputes the rfkill state as per +above, and calls rfkill_force_state() to update it. + +The driver should implement the toggle_radio() hook, that: + +1. Returns an error if one of the hardware rfkill lines are active, and the +caller asked for RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED. + +2. Activates the soft rfkill line if the caller asked for state +RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED. It should do this even if one of the hard rfkill +lines are active, effectively double-blocking the transmitter. + +3. Deactivates the soft rfkill line if none of the hardware rfkill lines are +active and the caller asked for RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED. + +=============================================================================== +4: Kernel API + +To build a driver with rfkill subsystem support, the driver should depend on +(or select) the Kconfig symbol RFKILL; it should _not_ depend on RKFILL_INPUT. + +The hardware the driver talks to may be write-only (where the current state +of the hardware is unknown), or read-write (where the hardware can be queried +about its current state). + +The rfkill class will call the get_state hook of a device every time it needs +to know the *real* current state of the hardware. This can happen often. + +Some hardware provides events when its status changes. In these cases, it is +best for the driver to not provide a get_state hook, and instead register the +rfkill class *already* with the correct status, and keep it updated using +rfkill_force_state() when it gets an event from the hardware. + +There is no provision for a statically-allocated rfkill struct. You must +use rfkill_allocate() to allocate one. + +You should: - rfkill_allocate() - - input_allocate_polled_device() + - modify rfkill fields (flags, name) + - modify state to the current hardware state (THIS IS THE ONLY TIME + YOU CAN ACCESS state DIRECTLY) - rfkill_register() - - input_register_polled_device() -When a key event has been detected, the correct event should be -sent over the input device which has been registered by the driver. +The only way to set a device to the RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED state is through +a suitable return of get_state() or through rfkill_force_state(). -==================================== -3: Userspace support +When a device is in the RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED state, the only way to switch +it to a different state is through a suitable return of get_state() or through +rfkill_force_state(). + +If toggle_radio() is called to set a device to state RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED +when that device is already at the RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED state, it should +not return an error. Instead, it should try to double-block the transmitter, +so that its state will change from RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED to +RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED should the hardware blocking cease. -For each key an input device will be created which will send out the correct -key event when the rfkill key has been pressed. +Please refer to the source for more documentation. + +=============================================================================== +5: Userspace support + +rfkill devices issue uevents (with an action of "change"), with the following +environment variables set: + +RFKILL_NAME +RFKILL_STATE +RFKILL_TYPE + +The ABI for these variables is defined by the sysfs attributes. It is best +to take a quick look at the source to make sure of the possible values. + +It is expected that HAL will trap those, and bridge them to DBUS, etc. These +events CAN and SHOULD be used to give feedback to the user about the rfkill +status of the system. + +Input devices may issue events that are related to rfkill. These are the +various KEY_* events and SW_* events supported by rfkill-input.c. + +******IMPORTANT****** +When rfkill-input is ACTIVE, userspace is NOT TO CHANGE THE STATE OF AN RFKILL +SWITCH IN RESPONSE TO AN INPUT EVENT also handled by rfkill-input, unless it +has set to true the user_claim attribute for that particular switch. This rule +is *absolute*; do NOT violate it. +******IMPORTANT****** + +Userspace must not assume it is the only source of control for rfkill switches. +Their state CAN and WILL change due to firmware actions, direct user actions, +and the rfkill-input EPO override for *_RFKILL_ALL. + +When rfkill-input is not active, userspace must initiate a rfkill status +change by writing to the "state" attribute in order for anything to happen. + +Take particular care to implement EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL properly. When that +switch is set to OFF, *every* rfkill device *MUST* be immediately put into the +RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED state, no questions asked. The following sysfs entries will be created: name: Name assigned by driver to this key (interface or driver name). type: Name of the key type ("wlan", "bluetooth", etc). - state: Current state of the key. 1: On, 0: Off. + state: Current state of the transmitter + 0: RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED + transmitter is forced off, but one can override it + by a write to the state attribute; + 1: RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED + transmiter is NOT forced off, and may operate if + all other conditions for such operation are met + (such as interface is up and configured, etc); + 2: RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED + transmitter is forced off by something outside of + the driver's control. One cannot set a device to + this state through writes to the state attribute; claim: 1: Userspace handles events, 0: Kernel handles events Both the "state" and "claim" entries are also writable. For the "state" entry -this means that when 1 or 0 is written all radios, not yet in the requested -state, will be will be toggled accordingly. +this means that when 1 or 0 is written, the device rfkill state (if not yet in +the requested state), will be will be toggled accordingly. + For the "claim" entry writing 1 to it means that the kernel no longer handles key events even though RFKILL_INPUT input was enabled.
