Before the switch to the netlink-based uevent source, this was

used to hook hotplug scripts into kernel device events. It

usually pointed to a shell script at /sbin/hotplug.

This should not be used today, because usual systems create

many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time

frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes

that it creates a high system load, or on smaller systems
|
|
|
|

it is known to create out-of-memory situations during bootup.

Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /dev
Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs
very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device
is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a
device node in devtmpfs.
Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time,
and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs.
Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will
recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it.
The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions
and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still
needs to be applied by userspace.
If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node
when the device goes away. If the device node was created by
userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it
will no longer be removed by devtmpfs.
If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work
without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated
and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel.
With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem
where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices.
It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust,
by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run
userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide
a working /dev.

[The patch was originally proposed by Tom Gundersen, and rewritten
afterwards by me; most of changelogs below borrowed from Tom's
original patch -- tiwai]
Currently (at least) the dell-rbu driver selects FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER,
which means that distros can't really stop loading firmware through
udev without breaking other users (though some have).
Ideally we would remove/disable the udev firmware helper in both the
kernel and in udev, but if we were to disable it in udev and not the
kernel, the result would be (seemingly) hung kernels as no one would
be around to cancel firmware requests.
This patch allows udev firmware loading to be disabled while still
allowing non-udev firmware loading, as done by the dell-rbu driver, to
continue working. This is achieved by only using the fallback
mechanism when the uevent is suppressed.
The patch renames the user-selectable Kconfig from FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER
to FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK, and the former is reverse-selected
by the latter or the drivers that need userhelper like dell-rbu.
Also, the "default y" is removed together with this change, since it's
been deprecated in udev upstream, thus rather better to disable it
nowadays.
Tested with
FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n
LATTICE_ECP3_CONFIG=y
DELL_RBU=y
and udev without the firmware loading support, but I don't have the
hardware to test the lattice/dell drivers, so additional testing would
be appreciated.

devres: device resource management
Implement device resource management, in short, devres. A device
driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated
with a release function. On driver detach, release function is
invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed.
devreses are typed by associated release functions. Some devreses are
better represented by single instance of the type while others need
multiple instances sharing the same release function. Both usages are
supported.
devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver
can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization
or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4
ports).
This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following
managed interfaces.
* alloc/free : devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree()
* IO region : devm_request_region(), devm_release_region()
* IRQ : devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq()
* DMA : dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(),
dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(),
dmam_pool_destroy()
* PCI : pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed()
* iomap : devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(),
devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(),
pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap()

dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism
This is the first step in defining a dma buffer sharing mechanism.
A new buffer object dma_buf is added, with operations and API to allow easy
sharing of this buffer object across devices.
The framework allows:
- creation of a buffer object, its association with a file pointer, and
associated allocator-defined operations on that buffer. This operation is
called the 'export' operation.
- different devices to 'attach' themselves to this exported buffer object, to
facilitate backing storage negotiation, using dma_buf_attach() API.
- the exported buffer object to be shared with the other entity by asking for
its 'file-descriptor (fd)', and sharing the fd across.
- a received fd to get the buffer object back, where it can be accessed using
the associated exporter-defined operations.
- the exporter and user to share the scatterlist associated with this buffer
object using map_dma_buf and unmap_dma_buf operations.
Atleast one 'attach()' call is required to be made prior to calling the
map_dma_buf() operation.
Couple of building blocks in map_dma_buf() are added to ease introduction
of sync'ing across exporter and users, and late allocation by the exporter.
For this first version, this framework will work with certain conditions:
- *ONLY* exporter will be allowed to mmap to userspace (outside of this
framework - mmap is not a buffer object operation),
- currently, *ONLY* users that do not need CPU access to the buffer are
allowed.
More details are there in the documentation patch.
This is based on design suggestions from many people at the mini-summits[1],
most notably from Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>, Rob Clark <rob@ti.com> and
Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch>.
The implementation is inspired from proof-of-concept patch-set from
Tomasz Stanislawski <t.stanislaws@samsung.com>, who demonstrated buffer sharing
between two v4l2 devices. [2]

fence: dma-buf cross-device synchronization (v18)
A fence can be attached to a buffer which is being filled or consumed
by hw, to allow userspace to pass the buffer without waiting to another
device. For example, userspace can call page_flip ioctl to display the
next frame of graphics after kicking the GPU but while the GPU is still
rendering. The display device sharing the buffer with the GPU would
attach a callback to get notified when the GPU's rendering-complete IRQ
fires, to update the scan-out address of the display, without having to
wake up userspace.
A driver must allocate a fence context for each execution ring that can
run in parallel. The function for this takes an argument with how many
contexts to allocate:
+ fence_context_alloc()
A fence is transient, one-shot deal. It is allocated and attached
to one or more dma-buf's. When the one that attached it is done, with
the pending operation, it can signal the fence:
+ fence_signal()
To have a rough approximation whether a fence is fired, call:
+ fence_is_signaled()
The dma-buf-mgr handles tracking, and waiting on, the fences associated
with a dma-buf.
The one pending on the fence can add an async callback:
+ fence_add_callback()
The callback can optionally be cancelled with:
+ fence_remove_callback()
To wait synchronously, optionally with a timeout:
+ fence_wait()
+ fence_wait_timeout()
When emitting a fence, call:
+ trace_fence_emit()
To annotate that a fence is blocking on another fence, call:
+ trace_fence_annotate_wait_on(fence, on_fence)
A default software-only implementation is provided, which can be used
by drivers attaching a fence to a buffer when they have no other means
for hw sync. But a memory backed fence is also envisioned, because it
is common that GPU's can write to, or poll on some memory location for
synchronization. For example:
fence = custom_get_fence(...);
if ((seqno_fence = to_seqno_fence(fence)) != NULL) {
dma_buf *fence_buf = seqno_fence->sync_buf;
get_dma_buf(fence_buf);
... tell the hw the memory location to wait ...
custom_wait_on(fence_buf, seqno_fence->seqno_ofs, fence->seqno);
} else {
/* fall-back to sw sync * /
fence_add_callback(fence, my_cb);
}
On SoC platforms, if some other hw mechanism is provided for synchronizing
between IP blocks, it could be supported as an alternate implementation
with it's own fence ops in a similar way.
enable_signaling callback is used to provide sw signaling in case a cpu
waiter is requested or no compatible hardware signaling could be used.
The intention is to provide a userspace interface (presumably via eventfd)
later, to be used in conjunction with dma-buf's mmap support for sw access
to buffers (or for userspace apps that would prefer to do their own
synchronization).
v1: Original
v2: After discussion w/ danvet and mlankhorst on #dri-devel, we decided
that dma-fence didn't need to care about the sw->hw signaling path
(it can be handled same as sw->sw case), and therefore the fence->ops
can be simplified and more handled in the core. So remove the signal,
add_callback, cancel_callback, and wait ops, and replace with a simple
enable_signaling() op which can be used to inform a fence supporting
hw->hw signaling that one or more devices which do not support hw
signaling are waiting (and therefore it should enable an irq or do
whatever is necessary in order that the CPU is notified when the
fence is passed).
v3: Fix locking fail in attach_fence() and get_fence()
v4: Remove tie-in w/ dma-buf.. after discussion w/ danvet and mlankorst
we decided that we need to be able to attach one fence to N dma-buf's,
so using the list_head in dma-fence struct would be problematic.
v5: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] Updated for dma-bikeshed-fence and dma-buf-manager.
v6: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] I removed dma_fence_cancel_callback and some comments
about checking if fence fired or not. This is broken by design.
waitqueue_active during destruction is now fatal, since the signaller
should be holding a reference in enable_signalling until it signalled
the fence. Pass the original dma_fence_cb along, and call __remove_wait
in the dma_fence_callback handler, so that no cleanup needs to be
performed.
v7: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] Set cb->func and only enable sw signaling if
fence wasn't signaled yet, for example for hardware fences that may
choose to signal blindly.
v8: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] Tons of tiny fixes, moved __dma_fence_init to
header and fixed include mess. dma-fence.h now includes dma-buf.h
All members are now initialized, so kmalloc can be used for
allocating a dma-fence. More documentation added.
v9: Change compiler bitfields to flags, change return type of
enable_signaling to bool. Rework dma_fence_wait. Added
dma_fence_is_signaled and dma_fence_wait_timeout.
s/dma// and change exports to non GPL. Added fence_is_signaled and
fence_enable_sw_signaling calls, add ability to override default
wait operation.
v10: remove event_queue, use a custom list, export try_to_wake_up from
scheduler. Remove fence lock and use a global spinlock instead,
this should hopefully remove all the locking headaches I was having
on trying to implement this. enable_signaling is called with this
lock held.
v11:
Use atomic ops for flags, lifting the need for some spin_lock_irqsaves.
However I kept the guarantee that after fence_signal returns, it is
guaranteed that enable_signaling has either been called to completion,
or will not be called any more.
Add contexts and seqno to base fence implementation. This allows you
to wait for less fences, by testing for seqno + signaled, and then only
wait on the later fence.
Add FENCE_TRACE, FENCE_WARN, and FENCE_ERR. This makes debugging easier.
An CONFIG_DEBUG_FENCE will be added to turn off the FENCE_TRACE
spam, and another runtime option can turn it off at runtime.
v12:
Add CONFIG_FENCE_TRACE. Add missing documentation for the fence->context
and fence->seqno members.
v13:
Fixup CONFIG_FENCE_TRACE kconfig description.
Move fence_context_alloc to fence.
Simplify fence_later.
Kill priv member to fence_cb.
v14:
Remove priv argument from fence_add_callback, oops!
v15:
Remove priv from documentation.
Explicitly include linux/atomic.h.
v16:
Add trace events.
Import changes required by android syncpoints.
v17:
Use wake_up_state instead of try_to_wake_up. (Colin Cross)
Fix up commit description for seqno_fence. (Rob Clark)
v18:
Rename release_fence to fence_release.
Move to drivers/dma-buf/.
Rename __fence_is_signaled and __fence_signal to *_locked.
Rename __fence_init to fence_init.
Make fence_default_wait return a signed long, and fix wait ops too.

DMA mapping framework by default aligns all buffers to the smallest
|
|
|
|
|
PAGE_SIZE order which is greater than or equal to the requested buffer
|
|
|
|
|
size. This works well for buffers up to a few hundreds kilobytes, but
|
|
|
|
|
for larger buffers it just a memory waste. With this parameter you can
|
|
|
|
|
specify the maximum PAGE_SIZE order for contiguous buffers. Larger
|
|
|
|
|
buffers will be aligned only to this specified order. The order is
|
|
|
|
|
expressed as a power of two multiplied by the PAGE_SIZE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, if your system defaults to 4KiB pages, the order value
|
|
|
|
|
of 8 means that the buffers will be aligned up to 1MiB only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If unsure, leave the default value "8".
