2009-03-24UIO: Take offset into account when determining number of pages that can be ↵Ian Abbott
mapped If a UIO memory region does not start on a page boundary but straddles one, the number of actual pages that overlap the memory region may be calculated incorrectly because the offset isn't taken into account. If userspace sets the mmap length to offset+size, it may fail with -EINVAL if UIO thinks it's trying to allocate too many pages. Signed-off-by: Ian Abbott <abbotti@mev.co.uk> Cc: Hans J.

2009-03-24uio: add the uio_aec driverBrandon Philips
UIO driver for the Adrienne Electronics Corporation PCI time code device. This device differs from other UIO devices since it uses I/O ports instead of memory mapped I/O. In order to make it possible for UIO to work with this device a utility, uioport, can be used to read and write the ports. uioport is designed to be a setuid program and checks the permissions of the /dev/uio* node and if the user has write permissions it will use iopl and out*/in* to access the device.

2009-03-24UIO: Add name attributes for mappings and port regionsHans J. Koch
If a UIO device has several memory mappings, it can be difficult for userspace to find the right one. The situation becomes even worse if the UIO driver can handle different versions of a card that have different numbers of mappings. Benedikt Spranger has such cards and pointed this out to me. Thanks, Bene! To address this problem, this patch adds "name" sysfs attributes for each mapping. Userspace can use these to clearly identify each mapping. The name string is optional. If a driver doesn't set it, an empty string will be returned, so this patch won't break existing drivers. The same problem exists for port region information, so a "name" attribute is added there, too. Signed-off-by: Hans J. Koch <hjk@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-01-06UIO: Pass information about ioports to userspace (V2)Hans J. Koch
Devices sometimes have memory where all or parts of it can not be mapped to userspace. But it might still be possible to access this memory from userspace by other means. An example are PCI cards that advertise not only mappable memory but also ioport ranges. On x86 architectures, these can be accessed with ioperm, iopl, inb, outb, and friends. Mike Frysinger (CCed) reported a similar problem on Blackfin arch where it doesn't seem to be easy to mmap non-cached memory but it can still be accessed from userspace. This patch allows kernel drivers to pass information about such ports to userspace. Similar to the existing mem[] array, it adds a port[] array to struct uio_info. Each port range is described by start, size, and porttype. If a driver fills in at least one such port range, the UIO core will simply pass this information to userspace by creating a new directory "portio" underneath /sys/class/uio/uioN/. Similar to the "mem" directory, it will contain a subdirectory (portX) for each port range given. Note that UIO simply passes this information to userspace, it performs no action whatsoever with this data. It's userspace's responsibility to obtain access to these ports and to solve arch dependent issues. The "porttype" attribute tells userspace what kind of port it is dealing with. This mechanism could also be used to give userspace information about GPIOs related to a device. You frequently find such hardware in embedded devices, so I added a UIO_PORT_GPIO definition. I'm not really sure if this is a good idea since there are other solutions to this problem, but it won't hurt much anyway. Signed-off-by: Hans J.

2008-11-01saner FASYNC handling on file closeAl Viro
As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync() need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget. So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we don't have to bother anymore.

2008-10-16UIO: Fix mapping of logical and virtual memoryAndrew G. Harvey
mmap() doesn't work as expected for UIO_MEM_LOGICAL or UIO_MEM_VIRTUAL mappings. The offset into the memory needs to be added, otherwise uio_vma_fault always returns the first page only. Note that for UIO userspace calls mmap() with offset = N * getpagesize() to access mapping N. This must be compensated when calculating the offset.

Here is a new version of the patch to support the Automata Sercos III PCI card driver. I now check that the IRQ is enabled before accepting the interrupt. I still use a logical OR to store the enabled interrupts and I've added a second use of a logical OR when restoring the enabled interrupts. I added an explanation of why I do this in comments at the top of the source file. Since I use a logical OR, I also removed the extra checks if the Interrupt Enable Register and ier0_cache are 0.

2008-08-21UIO: generic irq handling for some uio platform devicesMagnus Damm
This is V3 of uio_pdrv_genirq.c, a platform driver for UIO with generic IRQ handling code. This driver is very similar to the regular UIO platform driver, but is only suitable for devices that are connected to the interrupt controller using unique interrupt lines. The uio_pdrv_genirq driver includes generic interrupt handling code which disables the serviced interrupt in the interrupt controller and makes the user space driver responsible for acknowledging the interrupt in the device and reenabling the interrupt in the interrupt controller. Shared interrupts are not supported since the in-kernel interrupt handler will disable the interrupt line in the interrupt controller, and in a shared interrupt configuration this will stop other devices from delivering interrupts.

This patch adds a generic UIO platform driver. It eliminates the need for a dedicated kernel module for simple platform devices.

2008-07-21UIO: Add write function to allow irq maskingHans J. Koch
Sometimes it is necessary to enable/disable the interrupt of a UIO device from the userspace part of the driver. With this patch, the UIO kernel driver can implement an "irqcontrol()" function that does this. Userspace can write an s32 value to /dev/uioX (usually 0 or 1 to turn the irq off or on). The UIO core will then call the driver's irqcontrol function. Signed-off-by: Hans J.

2008-04-19UIO: Implement a UIO interface for the SMX CryptengineBen Nizette
This patch implements a UIO interface for the SMX Cryptengine. The Cryptengine found on the Nias Digital SMX board is best suited for a UIO interface. It is not wired in to the cryptographic API as the engine handles it's own keys, algorithms, everything. All that we know about is that if there's room in the buffer, you can write data to it and when there's data ready, you read it out again. There isn't necessarily even any direct correlation between data going in and data coming out again, the engine may consume or generate data all on its own. This driver is for proprietary hardware but we're always told to submit the drivers anyway; here you are. :-) This is version 4 of this patch and addresses all issues raised by Hans-Jürgen Koch and Paul Mundt in their reviews. Slightly altered is Paul's suggestion to use DRV_NAME and DRV_VERSION as the UIO version and name. While at the moment they are the same, there is no reason for them to stay that way. Nevertheless we now at least provide a MODULE_VERSION macro to keep modinfo happy.

2007-07-18UIO: Hilscher CIF card driverHans-Jürgen Koch
this is a patch that adds support for Hilscher CIF DeviceNet and Profibus cards. I tested it on a Kontron CPX board, and Thomas reviewed it. You can find the user space part here: http://www.osadl.org/projects/downloads/UIO/user/cif-0.1.0.tar.gz Notes: cif_api.c is the main file you want to look at. It contains the functions to open, close, mmap and so on. cif_dps.c adds functions specific to Profibus cards, and cif_dn.c contains functions for DeviceNet cards. cif.c is a universal playground, it's just a small test program. The user space part of this UIO driver is still work in progress, and not everything is tested yet. At the moment, the thread in cif_api.c contains some code that artificially makes the card generate interrupts, this was added for testing and will be removed later. But the driver already contains all the functions needed for useful operation, so it gives a good idea of how such a thing looks like. For comparison, here's what you get from the manufacturer (www.hilscher.com) when you ask for a Linux 2.6 driver: http://www.tglx.de/private/hjk/cif-orig-2.6.tar.bz2 WARNING: Don't look at the code for too long, you might become sick :-) Signed-off-by: Hans-Jürgen Koch <hjk@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
