  3. Accessing PCI device resources through sysfs
  4. ============================================
  5. sysfs, usually mounted at /sys, provides access to PCI resources on platforms
  6. that support it. For example, a given bus might look like this::
  7. /sys/devices/pci0000:17
  8. |-- 0000:17:00.0
  9. | |-- class
  10. | |-- config
  11. | |-- device
  12. | |-- enable
  13. | |-- irq
  14. | |-- local_cpus
  15. | |-- remove
  16. | |-- resource
  17. | |-- resource0
  18. | |-- resource1
  19. | |-- resource2
  20. | |-- revision
  21. | |-- rom
  22. | |-- subsystem_device
  23. | |-- subsystem_vendor
  24. | `-- vendor
  25. `-- ...
  26. The topmost element describes the PCI domain and bus number. In this case,
  27. the domain number is 0000 and the bus number is 17 (both values are in hex).
  28. This bus contains a single function device in slot 0. The domain and bus
  29. numbers are reproduced for convenience. Under the device directory are several
  30. files, each with their own function.
  31. =================== =====================================================
  32. file function
  33. =================== =====================================================
  34. class PCI class (ascii, ro)
  35. config PCI config space (binary, rw)
  36. device PCI device (ascii, ro)
  37. enable Whether the device is enabled (ascii, rw)
  38. irq IRQ number (ascii, ro)
  39. local_cpus nearby CPU mask (cpumask, ro)
  40. remove remove device from kernel's list (ascii, wo)
  41. resource PCI resource host addresses (ascii, ro)
  42. resource0..N PCI resource N, if present (binary, mmap, rw\ [1]_)
  43. resource0_wc..N_wc PCI WC map resource N, if prefetchable (binary, mmap)
  44. revision PCI revision (ascii, ro)
  45. rom PCI ROM resource, if present (binary, ro)
  46. subsystem_device PCI subsystem device (ascii, ro)
  47. subsystem_vendor PCI subsystem vendor (ascii, ro)
  48. vendor PCI vendor (ascii, ro)
  49. =================== =====================================================
  50. ::
  51. ro - read only file
  52. rw - file is readable and writable
  53. wo - write only file
  54. mmap - file is mmapable
  55. ascii - file contains ascii text
  56. binary - file contains binary data
  57. cpumask - file contains a cpumask type
  58. .. [1] rw for IORESOURCE_IO (I/O port) regions only
  59. The read only files are informational, writes to them will be ignored, with
  60. the exception of the 'rom' file. Writable files can be used to perform
  61. actions on the device (e.g. changing config space, detaching a device).
  62. mmapable files are available via an mmap of the file at offset 0 and can be
  63. used to do actual device programming from userspace. Note that some platforms
  64. don't support mmapping of certain resources, so be sure to check the return
  65. value from any attempted mmap. The most notable of these are I/O port
  66. resources, which also provide read/write access.
  67. The 'enable' file provides a counter that indicates how many times the device
  68. has been enabled. If the 'enable' file currently returns '4', and a '1' is
  69. echoed into it, it will then return '5'. Echoing a '0' into it will decrease
  70. the count. Even when it returns to 0, though, some of the initialisation
  71. may not be reversed.
  72. The 'rom' file is special in that it provides read-only access to the device's
  73. ROM file, if available. It's disabled by default, however, so applications
  74. should write the string "1" to the file to enable it before attempting a read
  75. call, and disable it following the access by writing "0" to the file. Note
  76. that the device must be enabled for a rom read to return data successfully.
  77. In the event a driver is not bound to the device, it can be enabled using the
  78. 'enable' file, documented above.
  79. The 'remove' file is used to remove the PCI device, by writing a non-zero
  80. integer to the file. This does not involve any kind of hot-plug functionality,
  81. e.g. powering off the device. The device is removed from the kernel's list of
  82. PCI devices, the sysfs directory for it is removed, and the device will be
  83. removed from any drivers attached to it. Removal of PCI root buses is
  84. disallowed.
  85. Accessing legacy resources through sysfs
  86. ----------------------------------------
  87. Legacy I/O port and ISA memory resources are also provided in sysfs if the
  88. underlying platform supports them. They're located in the PCI class hierarchy,
  89. e.g.::
  90. /sys/class/pci_bus/0000:17/
  91. |-- bridge -> ../../../devices/pci0000:17
  92. |-- cpuaffinity
  93. |-- legacy_io
  94. `-- legacy_mem
  95. The legacy_io file is a read/write file that can be used by applications to
  96. do legacy port I/O. The application should open the file, seek to the desired
  97. port (e.g. 0x3e8) and do a read or a write of 1, 2 or 4 bytes. The legacy_mem
  98. file should be mmapped with an offset corresponding to the memory offset
  99. desired, e.g. 0xa0000 for the VGA frame buffer. The application can then
  100. simply dereference the returned pointer (after checking for errors of course)
  101. to access legacy memory space.
  102. Supporting PCI access on new platforms
  103. --------------------------------------
  104. In order to support PCI resource mapping as described above, Linux platform
  105. code should ideally define ARCH_GENERIC_PCI_MMAP_RESOURCE and use the generic
  106. implementation of that functionality. To support the historical interface of
  107. mmap() through files in /proc/bus/pci, platforms may also set HAVE_PCI_MMAP.
  108. Alternatively, platforms which set HAVE_PCI_MMAP may provide their own
  109. implementation of pci_mmap_resource_range() instead of defining
  110. ARCH_GENERIC_PCI_MMAP_RESOURCE.
  111. Platforms which support write-combining maps of PCI resources must define
  112. arch_can_pci_mmap_wc() which shall evaluate to non-zero at runtime when
  113. write-combining is permitted. Platforms which support maps of I/O resources
  114. define arch_can_pci_mmap_io() similarly.
  115. Legacy resources are protected by the HAVE_PCI_LEGACY define. Platforms
  116. wishing to support legacy functionality should define it and provide
  117. pci_legacy_read, pci_legacy_write and pci_mmap_legacy_page_range functions.
