The shared memory structure includes 4 FIFO. Each +communication channel (common or audio) is made of two FIFO's. +There are 4 types of messages that are communicated between APE and CMT. +(these are also referred to as L2 header in the shrm protocol) + -> ISI message + -> RPC message (filesystem) + -> Security message + -> Audio message +First 3 of the above messages are transferred through the common channel and +audio message is transferred via the audio channel. Now each of these 2 channel +have two FIFO. + -> FIFO-1: APE to CMT common channel + -> FIFO-2: CMT to APE common channel + -> FIFO-3: APE to CMT audio channel + -> FIFO-4: CMT to APE audio channel +Each of these fifo'a have 4 pointers. + -> Shared read pointer + -> Shared write pointer + -> local read pointer + -> local write pointer +The read/write permission of the above 4 pointer depends on the fifo. +Size of common fifo is 128KB each and that of audio fifo is 4KB each. + +Notification +------------ +The SHRM protocol uses interrupt generation register in CMT to support crossed +notifications. For APE to CMT notifications, the APE sets a corresponding bit +in the interrupt generation register of CMT. This triggers an interrupt in the +cortex R4 of CMT. This interrupt generation module is regerred to as General +Output Port(GOP) register. The register is a standard GOP, SET/CLEAR/TOGGLE. +Below are the list of interrupts: + AcMsgPendNotif: APE notifies CMT that it has written some message to the + fifo or that there are some messages unread by CMT. + AcReadNotif: CMT notifies APE that it has read the message. + CaMsgPendNotif: CMT notifies APE that it has written some message to the + fifo or that there are some messages unread by APE. + CaReadNotif: APE notifies CMT that it has read the message. + AcWakeReq: APE has some messages to communicate with CMT and hence + requests CMT to wake up. + AcWakeAck: CMT acknowledges to AcWakeReq after waking up by sending + AcWakeAck. + AcSleepReq: APE notifies CMT that it has no more messages to + communicate and if required CMT can sleep. + AcSleepAck: CMT acknowledges to AcSleepReq. + CaWakeReq: CMT has some messages to communicate with APE and hence + requests APE to wakeup. + CaWakeAck: APE acknowledges to CaWakeReq after waking up by sending + this interrupt. + CaResetReq: CMT notifies APE that it has reset. + +Note: There are 2 copies of first 4 interrupts mentioned above each representing +for common and audio channel. +Notation used is 0->common channel and 1->audio channel + +FIFO Operation +-------------- +Initially all the 4 pointer are reset to 0. Now assume that APE wants to send +some data to modem then it writes to the corresponding fifo starting from the +address in 'Shared write pointer'. Now CMT will start reading this message +starting from the address mentioned in 'Shared read pointer' and will continue +reading the message until it meets the address in 'Shared write pointer' and +'Shared read pointer' is updated accordingly. +Consider that APE has written a message in FIFO and CMT has not yet read that +message, in the mean time APE has another message, so APE will write to the +shared memory and now instead of updating the 'Shared write pointer', will +update 'local write pointer' and keep on writing the messages thereby not +blocking the messages that are sent to the shrm driver through modem has not +yet read the previous message. + +SHRM Message format +------------------- +Message is made of a header plus a data. Header is made of several fields which +includes the L1 and L2 header. + +L1 Header: + L1 header is used in the message sent by the writer during the + initialization of the SHRM protocol. Available L1 headers are + BOOT_INFO_REQ - CMT sends this to APE + BOOT_INFO_RESP - APE sends this to CMT + MESSAGE - Used by both APE and CMT while communicating. + The first two L1 headers are used only during the boot and it includes + no other data apart from the L1 header. + + BOOT_INFO_REQ + _________________________________________ + |31 ... 28|27 ....... 16|15 ... 8|7 ... 0| bits + ----------------------------------------- + |cmd 0x01 | Reserved |config |Version| + | | | Info | Id | + + BOOT_INFO_RESP + _________________________________________ + |31 ... 28|27 ....... 16|15 ... 8|7 ... 0| bits + ----------------------------------------- + |cmd 0x02 | Reserved |config |Version| + | | | Info | Id | + + MESSAGE + _________________________________________ + |31 ... 28|27 ....... 20|19 ........... 0| bits + ----------------------------------------- + |cmd 0x03 | Counter | Length of data | + | | | | + +L2 Header: + L2 header or L2 mux is used to route specific type of message on + specific channel. + ISI -> 0 + RPC -> 1 + Audio -> 2 + Security -> 3 + +SHRM Boot Sequence +------------------ + SHRM driver is a communication between two entities APE and CMT. Hence +there has to be some sync during boot so that a communication can exist. This +is first initiated by the CMT:- + + CMT APE + -------CaWakeReq-------> + + <------CaWakeAck-------- + + ---msg BOOT_INFO_REQ---> + + <---BOOT_INFO_RESP msg-- + +APE Initiated communication +--------------------------- + APE CMT + -------AcWakeReq--------> + + <------AcWakeAck--------- + + -----AcMsgPendNotif-----> + + <------AcReadNotif------- + + -----AcMsgPendNotif-----> + + <------AcReadNotif------- + | + | + -------AcSleepReq-------> + + <------AcSleepAck-------- + +SHRM driver interfaces +---------------------- +The application using the shrm driver is audio, security, filesystem and the +android RIL. All of these exist in the user space. Hence in order to pass this +message to the user space there exist two types of interface + Character interface + Network interface + +Character Interface + Character devices are created for RPC, Security and Audi with the major + ID being the L2 header. Message queues are created for each of available + L2 headers, which will be used during the Rx for copying the message + from the shared memory. Further the user space application will reques + for this message from the character deivce points which will fet the + data from the corresponding queue and provide it to the user space. + For the Tx path again the data is to be copied from the user space to + the shared memory. There exist static memory for each L2 header or + message type each of size 512k. This statch memeory will be used in the + Tx path. First the message will be copied from user space to this static + memory and then passed on the the shrm protocol where it will be moved + to the shared memory. + All operations like adding message to queue, removing messages to queue + resides in this file. +Network Interface + The CMT used in u8500 platform is the Renessas modem and hence will use + phonet for Tx and Rx of the ISI messages. A network driver is registered + with name 'shrm0'. On Tx path the message comes via the phonet to the + shrm network interface driver. The same is passed to the shrm protocol + to transmit it to the modem. On Rx path ISI message is copied to skbuff + and corresponding phonet addr is added. This message is routed via + phonet, network and then to the user space from the socket depending + on the type od message, i.e ISI message or data packets. + +Modem Silent Reset +------------------ +On getting a modem reset interrupt from CMT, APE will inform all its clients via +netlink so that none of the clients will further send any messages to send it to +the CMT. Then shrm driver will disable all interrupts reset its state machine, +clear all message queues, stop any communication if any in progress and waits +for the modem to book. Since the modem reset status is sent via netlink to the +user clients, the client responsible for collecting modem dump and reloading +CMT image will be done and then CMT will be released from reset wherein it +starts booting up. + +Implementation +-------------- +The shrm protocol driver is spread over many files: + shrm_driver.c + shrm_protocol.c + shrm_fifo.c + shrm_driver.h + shrm_char.c + shrm_net.c + shrm_driver.h + shrm_config.h + shrm_net.h + shrm_private.h + shrm.h + +shrm_driver.c +------------- +This file is the main entry for the shrm driver and includes: + -> memory ioremapping (shared memory) + -> work queue initialization + -> registering of interrupts + -> suspend/resume control + The criteria for shrm driver suspend is that AcSleepReq and + CaSleepReq should be set and the Rx message queue for RPC, + Security should be empty. + -> Rx calback handler - On modem sending any message based on the + channel the callback handler gets executed which will add the message + to the corresponding message queue or call the shrm network interface + if its an ISI message, which will route the packets via phonet. + +shrm_protocol.c +--------------- +This file includes the shrm protocol implementation and also includes Modem +Silent Reset(MSR) implementation. Interrupt handlers for all interrupts raised +by modem are present in this file. This file makes access to the shared memory +for read and write process. Hence a state machine and prorper check for the shrm +protocol is validated. + +shrm_fifo.c +----------- +As said shared memory is classified into 4 FIFO's and hence data read or written +to the shared memoery is nothing by reading/writing to the FIFO. This operations +made on FIFO is present in this file. It includes the shared and local reader +and writer pointer, all updation of this pointer happends in this file. The fifo +is desinged in a manner to sufficiently hold the data in it without encountering +the fifo full situation. + +For futher information on implementation details refer the kernel doc. -- 1.7.4.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
