- ============================================
- Accessing PCI device resources through sysfs
- ============================================
- sysfs, usually mounted at /sys, provides access to PCI resources on platforms
- that support it. For example, a given bus might look like this::
- /sys/devices/pci0000:17
- |-- 0000:17:00.0
- | |-- class
- | |-- config
- | |-- device
- | |-- enable
- | |-- irq
- | |-- local_cpus
- | |-- remove
- | |-- resource
- | |-- resource0
- | |-- resource1
- | |-- resource2
- | |-- revision
- | |-- rom
- | |-- subsystem_device
- | |-- subsystem_vendor
- | `-- vendor
- `-- ...
- The topmost element describes the PCI domain and bus number. In this case,
- the domain number is 0000 and the bus number is 17 (both values are in hex).
- This bus contains a single function device in slot 0. The domain and bus
- numbers are reproduced for convenience. Under the device directory are several
- files, each with their own function.
- =================== =====================================================
- file function
- =================== =====================================================
- class PCI class (ascii, ro)
- config PCI config space (binary, rw)
- device PCI device (ascii, ro)
- enable Whether the device is enabled (ascii, rw)
- irq IRQ number (ascii, ro)
- local_cpus nearby CPU mask (cpumask, ro)
- remove remove device from kernel's list (ascii, wo)
- resource PCI resource host addresses (ascii, ro)
- resource0..N PCI resource N, if present (binary, mmap, rw\ [1]_)
- resource0_wc..N_wc PCI WC map resource N, if prefetchable (binary, mmap)
- revision PCI revision (ascii, ro)
- rom PCI ROM resource, if present (binary, ro)
- subsystem_device PCI subsystem device (ascii, ro)
- subsystem_vendor PCI subsystem vendor (ascii, ro)
- vendor PCI vendor (ascii, ro)
- =================== =====================================================
- ::
- ro - read only file
- rw - file is readable and writable
- wo - write only file
- mmap - file is mmapable
- ascii - file contains ascii text
- binary - file contains binary data
- cpumask - file contains a cpumask type
- .. [1] rw for IORESOURCE_IO (I/O port) regions only
- The read only files are informational, writes to them will be ignored, with
- the exception of the 'rom' file. Writable files can be used to perform
- actions on the device (e.g. changing config space, detaching a device).
- mmapable files are available via an mmap of the file at offset 0 and can be
- used to do actual device programming from userspace. Note that some platforms
- don't support mmapping of certain resources, so be sure to check the return
- value from any attempted mmap. The most notable of these are I/O port
- resources, which also provide read/write access.
- The 'enable' file provides a counter that indicates how many times the device
- has been enabled. If the 'enable' file currently returns '4', and a '1' is
- echoed into it, it will then return '5'. Echoing a '0' into it will decrease
- the count. Even when it returns to 0, though, some of the initialisation
- may not be reversed.
- The 'rom' file is special in that it provides read-only access to the device's
- ROM file, if available. It's disabled by default, however, so applications
- should write the string "1" to the file to enable it before attempting a read
- call, and disable it following the access by writing "0" to the file. Note
- that the device must be enabled for a rom read to return data successfully.
- In the event a driver is not bound to the device, it can be enabled using the
- 'enable' file, documented above.
- The 'remove' file is used to remove the PCI device, by writing a non-zero
- integer to the file. This does not involve any kind of hot-plug functionality,
- e.g. powering off the device. The device is removed from the kernel's list of
- PCI devices, the sysfs directory for it is removed, and the device will be
- removed from any drivers attached to it. Removal of PCI root buses is
- disallowed.
- Accessing legacy resources through sysfs
- ----------------------------------------
- Legacy I/O port and ISA memory resources are also provided in sysfs if the
- underlying platform supports them. They're located in the PCI class hierarchy,
- e.g.::
- /sys/class/pci_bus/0000:17/
- |-- bridge -> ../../../devices/pci0000:17
- |-- cpuaffinity
- |-- legacy_io
- `-- legacy_mem
- The legacy_io file is a read/write file that can be used by applications to
- do legacy port I/O. The application should open the file, seek to the desired
- port (e.g. 0x3e8) and do a read or a write of 1, 2 or 4 bytes. The legacy_mem
- file should be mmapped with an offset corresponding to the memory offset
- desired, e.g. 0xa0000 for the VGA frame buffer. The application can then
- simply dereference the returned pointer (after checking for errors of course)
- to access legacy memory space.
- Supporting PCI access on new platforms
- --------------------------------------
- In order to support PCI resource mapping as described above, Linux platform
- code should ideally define ARCH_GENERIC_PCI_MMAP_RESOURCE and use the generic
- implementation of that functionality. To support the historical interface of
- mmap() through files in /proc/bus/pci, platforms may also set HAVE_PCI_MMAP.
- Alternatively, platforms which set HAVE_PCI_MMAP may provide their own
- implementation of pci_mmap_resource_range() instead of defining
- ARCH_GENERIC_PCI_MMAP_RESOURCE.
- Platforms which support write-combining maps of PCI resources must define
- arch_can_pci_mmap_wc() which shall evaluate to non-zero at runtime when
- write-combining is permitted. Platforms which support maps of I/O resources
- define arch_can_pci_mmap_io() similarly.
- Legacy resources are protected by the HAVE_PCI_LEGACY define. Platforms
- wishing to support legacy functionality should define it and provide
- pci_legacy_read, pci_legacy_write and pci_mmap_legacy_page_range functions.
