<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
Linux provides an API which abstracts performing IO across all busses
and devices, allowing device drivers to be written independently of
bus type.

<title>Memory Mapped IO</title>
<sect1 id="getting_access_to_the_device">
<title>Getting Access to the Device</title>
<para>
The most widely supported form of IO is memory mapped IO.
That is, a part of the CPU's address space is interpreted
not as accesses to memory, but as accesses to a device. Some
architectures define devices to be at a fixed address, but most
have some method of discovering devices. The PCI bus walk is a
good example of such a scheme. This document does not cover how
to receive such an address, but assumes you are starting with one.
Physical addresses are of type unsigned long.
</para>
<para>
This address should not be used directly. Instead, to get an
address suitable for passing to the accessor functions described
below, you should call <function>ioremap</function>.
An address suitable for accessing the device will be returned to you.
</para>
<para>
After you've finished using the device (say, in your module's
exit routine), call <function>iounmap</function> in order to return
the address space to the kernel. Most architectures allocate new
address space each time you call <function>ioremap</function>, and
they can run out unless you call <function>iounmap</function>.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="accessing_the_device">
<title>Accessing the device</title>
<para>
The part of the interface most used by drivers is reading and
writing memory-mapped registers on the device. Linux provides
interfaces to read and write 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit
quantities. Due to a historical accident, these are named byte,
word, long and quad accesses. Both read and write accesses are
supported; there is no prefetch support at this time.
</para>
<para>
The functions are named <function>readb</function>,
<function>readw</function>, <function>readl</function>,
<function>readq</function>, <function>readb_relaxed</function>,
<function>readw_relaxed</function>, <function>readl_relaxed</function>,
<function>readq_relaxed</function>, <function>writeb</function>,
<function>writew</function>, <function>writel</function> and
<function>writeq</function>.
</para>
<para>
Some devices (such as framebuffers) would like to use larger
transfers than 8 bytes at a time. For these devices, the
<function>memcpy_toio</function>, <function>memcpy_fromio</function>
and <function>memset_io</function> functions are provided.
Do not use memset or memcpy on IO addresses; they
are not guaranteed to copy data in order.
</para>
<para>
The read and write functions are defined to be ordered. That is the
compiler is not permitted to reorder the I/O sequence. When the
ordering can be compiler optimised, you can use <function>
__readb</function> and friends to indicate the relaxed ordering. Use
this with care.
</para>
<para>
While the basic functions are defined to be synchronous with respect
to each other and ordered with respect to each other the busses the
devices sit on may themselves have asynchronicity. In particular many
authors are burned by the fact that PCI bus writes are posted
asynchronously. A driver author must issue a read from the same
device to ensure that writes have occurred in the specific cases the
author cares. This kind of property cannot be hidden from driver
writers in the API. In some cases, the read used to flush the device
may be expected to fail (if the card is resetting, for example). In
that case, the read should be done from config space, which is
guaranteed to soft-fail if the card doesn't respond.
</para>
<para>
The following is an example of flushing a write to a device when
the driver would like to ensure the write's effects are visible prior
to continuing execution.
</para>
<programlisting>
static inline void
qla1280_disable_intrs(struct scsi_qla_host *ha)
{
struct device_reg *reg;
reg = ha->iobase;
/* disable risc and host interrupts */
WRT_REG_WORD(&amp;reg->ictrl, 0);
/*
* The following read will ensure that the above write
* has been received by the device before we return from this
* function.
*/
RD_REG_WORD(&amp;reg->ictrl);
ha->flags.ints_enabled = 0;
}
</programlisting>
<para>
In addition to write posting, on some large multiprocessing systems
(e.g. SGI Challenge, Origin and Altix machines) posted writes won't
be strongly ordered coming from different CPUs. Thus it's important
to properly protect parts of your driver that do memory-mapped writes
with locks and use the <function>mmiowb</function> to make sure they
arrive in the order intended. Issuing a regular <function>readX
</function> will also ensure write ordering, but should only be used
when the driver has to be sure that the write has actually arrived
at the device (not that it's simply ordered with respect to other
writes), since a full <function>readX</function> is a relatively
expensive operation.
</para>
<para>
Generally, one should use <function>mmiowb</function> prior to
releasing a spinlock that protects regions using <function>writeb
</function> or similar functions that aren't surrounded by <function>
readb</function> calls, which will ensure ordering and flushing. The
following pseudocode illustrates what might occur if write ordering
isn't guaranteed via <function>mmiowb</function> or one of the
<function>readX</function> functions.
</para>
<programlisting>
CPU A: spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;dev_lock, flags)
CPU A: ...
CPU A: writel(newval, ring_ptr);
CPU A: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&amp;dev_lock, flags)
...
CPU B: spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;dev_lock, flags)
CPU B: writel(newval2, ring_ptr);
CPU B: ...
CPU B: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&amp;dev_lock, flags)
</programlisting>
<para>
In the case above, newval2 could be written to ring_ptr before
newval. Fixing it is easy though:
</para>
<programlisting>
CPU A: spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;dev_lock, flags)
CPU A: ...
CPU A: writel(newval, ring_ptr);
CPU A: mmiowb(); /* ensure no other writes beat us to the device */
CPU A: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&amp;dev_lock, flags)
...
CPU B: spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;dev_lock, flags)
CPU B: writel(newval2, ring_ptr);
CPU B: ...
CPU B: mmiowb();
CPU B: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&amp;dev_lock, flags)
</programlisting>
<para>
See tg3.c for a real world example of how to use <function>mmiowb
</function>
</para>
<para>
PCI ordering rules also guarantee that PIO read responses arrive
after any outstanding DMA writes from that bus, since for some devices
the result of a <function>readb</function> call may signal to the
driver that a DMA transaction is complete. In many cases, however,
the driver may want to indicate that the next
<function>readb</function> call has no relation to any previous DMA
writes performed by the device. The driver can use
<function>readb_relaxed</function> for these cases, although only
some platforms will honor the relaxed semantics. Using the relaxed
read functions will provide significant performance benefits on
platforms that support it. The qla2xxx driver provides examples
of how to use <function>readX_relaxed</function>. In many cases,
a majority of the driver's <function>readX</function> calls can
safely be converted to <function>readX_relaxed</function> calls, since
only a few will indicate or depend on DMA completion.

<chapter id="port_space_accesses">
<title>Port Space Accesses</title>
<sect1 id="port_space_explained">
<title>Port Space Explained</title>
<para>
Another form of IO commonly supported is Port Space. This is a
range of addresses separate to the normal memory address space.
Access to these addresses is generally not as fast as accesses
to the memory mapped addresses, and it also has a potentially
smaller address space.
</para>
<para>
Unlike memory mapped IO, no preparation is required
to access port space.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="accessing_port_space">
<title>Accessing Port Space</title>
<para>
Accesses to this space are provided through a set of functions
which allow 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit accesses; also
known as byte, word and long. These functions are
<function>inb</function>, <function>inw</function>,
<function>inl</function>, <function>outb</function>,
<function>outw</function> and <function>outl</function>.
</para>
<para>
Some variants are provided for these functions. Some devices
require that accesses to their ports are slowed down. This
functionality is provided by appending a <function>_p</function>
to the end of the function. There are also equivalents to memcpy.
The <function>ins</function> and <function>outs</function>
functions copy bytes, words or longs to the given port.

<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
The main purpose of the Industrial I/O subsystem (IIO) is to provide
support for devices that in some sense perform either analog-to-digital
conversion (ADC) or digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) or both. The aim
is to fill the gap between the somewhat similar hwmon and input
subsystems.
Hwmon is directed at low sample rate sensors used to monitor and
control the system itself, like fan speed control or temperature
measurement. Input is, as its name suggests, focused on human interaction
input devices (keyboard, mouse, touchscreen). In some cases there is
considerable overlap between these and IIO.

An IIO device usually corresponds to a single hardware sensor and it
provides all the information needed by a driver handling a device.
Let's first have a look at the functionality embedded in an IIO
device then we will show how a device driver makes use of an IIO
device.
</para>
<para>
There are two ways for a user space application to interact
with an IIO driver.
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>

channels of the same chip.

</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
A typical IIO driver will register itself as an I2C or SPI driver and will
create two routines, <function> probe </function> and <function> remove

<itemizedlist>
<listitem>call <function>iio_device_alloc</function>, which allocates memory

</listitem>
<listitem>call <function> iio_device_register</function>, this registers the

requests from user space applications.
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
At <function>remove</function>, we free the resources allocated in
<function>probe</function> in reverse order:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><function>iio_device_unregister</function>, unregister the device

</listitem>
<listitem><function>iio_device_free</function>, free the memory allocated

</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<sect2 id="iioattr"> <title> IIO device sysfs interface </title>
<para>
Attributes are sysfs files used to expose chip info and also allowing
applications to set various configuration parameters. For device
with index X, attributes can be found under
<filename>/sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/ </filename> directory.
Common attributes are:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><filename>name</filename>, description of the physical
chip.
</listitem>
<listitem><filename>dev</filename>, shows the major:minor pair
associated with <filename>/dev/iio:deviceX</filename> node.
</listitem>
<listitem><filename>sampling_frequency_available</filename>,
available discrete set of sampling frequency values for
device.
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
Available standard attributes for IIO devices are described in the
<filename>Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio </filename> file
in the Linux kernel sources.
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="iiochannel"> <title> IIO device channels </title>
!Finclude/linux/iio/iio.h iio_chan_spec structure.
<para>
An IIO device channel is a representation of a data channel. An
IIO device can have one or multiple channels. For example:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
a thermometer sensor has one channel representing the
temperature measurement.
</listitem>
<listitem>
a light sensor with two channels indicating the measurements in
the visible and infrared spectrum.
</listitem>
<listitem>
an accelerometer can have up to 3 channels representing
acceleration on X, Y and Z axes.
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
An IIO channel is described by the <type> struct iio_chan_spec
</type>. A thermometer driver for the temperature sensor in the
example above would have to describe its channel as follows:
<programlisting>
static const struct iio_chan_spec temp_channel[] = {
{
.type = IIO_TEMP,
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED),
},
};
</programlisting>
Channel sysfs attributes exposed to userspace are specified in
the form of <emphasis>bitmasks</emphasis>. Depending on their
shared info, attributes can be set in one of the following masks:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><emphasis>info_mask_separate</emphasis>, attributes will
be specific to this channel</listitem>
<listitem><emphasis>info_mask_shared_by_type</emphasis>,
attributes are shared by all channels of the same type</listitem>
<listitem><emphasis>info_mask_shared_by_dir</emphasis>, attributes
are shared by all channels of the same direction </listitem>
<listitem><emphasis>info_mask_shared_by_all</emphasis>,
attributes are shared by all channels</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
When there are multiple data channels per channel type we have two
ways to distinguish between them:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem> set <emphasis> .modified</emphasis> field of <type>
iio_chan_spec</type> to 1. Modifiers are specified using
<emphasis>.channel2</emphasis> field of the same
<type>iio_chan_spec</type> structure and are used to indicate a
physically unique characteristic of the channel such as its direction
or spectral response. For example, a light sensor can have two channels,
one for infrared light and one for both infrared and visible light.
</listitem>
<listitem> set <emphasis>.indexed </emphasis> field of
<type>iio_chan_spec</type> to 1. In this case the channel is
simply another instance with an index specified by the
<emphasis>.channel</emphasis> field.
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
Here is how we can make use of the channel's modifiers:
<programlisting>
static const struct iio_chan_spec light_channels[] = {
{
.type = IIO_INTENSITY,
.modified = 1,
.channel2 = IIO_MOD_LIGHT_IR,
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),
.info_mask_shared = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ),
},
{
.type = IIO_INTENSITY,
.modified = 1,
.channel2 = IIO_MOD_LIGHT_BOTH,
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),
.info_mask_shared = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ),
},
{
.type = IIO_LIGHT,
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED),
.info_mask_shared = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ),
},
}
</programlisting>
This channel's definition will generate two separate sysfs files
for raw data retrieval:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<filename>/sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/in_intensity_ir_raw</filename>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<filename>/sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/in_intensity_both_raw</filename>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
one file for processed data:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<filename>/sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/in_illuminance_input
</filename>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
and one shared sysfs file for sampling frequency:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<filename>/sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/sampling_frequency.
</filename>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>
Here is how we can make use of the channel's indexing:
<programlisting>
static const struct iio_chan_spec light_channels[] = {
{
.type = IIO_VOLTAGE,
.indexed = 1,
.channel = 0,
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),
},
{
.type = IIO_VOLTAGE,
.indexed = 1,
.channel = 1,
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),
},
}
</programlisting>
This will generate two separate attributes files for raw data
retrieval:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<filename>/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/in_voltage0_raw</filename>,
representing voltage measurement for channel 0.
</listitem>
<listitem>
<filename>/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/in_voltage1_raw</filename>,
representing voltage measurement for channel 1.
</listitem>

The important bits configuring scan elements are exposed to
userspace applications via the <filename>
/sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/scan_elements/</filename> directory. This
file contains attributes of the following form:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><emphasis>enable</emphasis>, used for enabling a channel.
If and only if its attribute is non zero, then a triggered capture
will contain data samples for this channel.
</listitem>
<listitem><emphasis>type</emphasis>, description of the scan element
data storage within the buffer and hence the form in which it is
read from user space. Format is <emphasis>
[be|le]:[s|u]bits/storagebitsXrepeat[>>shift] </emphasis>.
<itemizedlist>
<listitem> <emphasis>be</emphasis> or <emphasis>le</emphasis>, specifies
big or little endian.
</listitem>
<listitem>
<emphasis>s </emphasis>or <emphasis>u</emphasis>, specifies if
signed (2's complement) or unsigned.
</listitem>
<listitem><emphasis>bits</emphasis>, is the number of valid data
bits.
</listitem>
<listitem><emphasis>storagebits</emphasis>, is the number of bits
(after padding) that it occupies in the buffer.
</listitem>
<listitem>
<emphasis>shift</emphasis>, if specified, is the shift that needs
to be applied prior to masking out unused bits.
</listitem>
<listitem>
<emphasis>repeat</emphasis>, specifies the number of bits/storagebits
repetitions. When the repeat element is 0 or 1, then the repeat
value is omitted.
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
For example, a driver for a 3-axis accelerometer with 12 bit
resolution where data is stored in two 8-bits registers as
follows:
<programlisting>
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|D3 |D2 |D1 |D0 | X | X | X | X | (LOW byte, address 0x06)
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|D11|D10|D9 |D8 |D7 |D6 |D5 |D4 | (HIGH byte, address 0x07)
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
</programlisting>
will have the following scan element type for each axis:
<programlisting>
$ cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/scan_elements/in_accel_y_type
le:s12/16>>4
</programlisting>
A user space application will interpret data samples read from the
buffer as two byte little endian signed data, that needs a 4 bits
right shift before masking out the 12 valid bits of data.
</para>
<para>
For implementing buffer support a driver should initialize the following
fields in <type>iio_chan_spec</type> definition:
<programlisting>
struct iio_chan_spec {
/* other members */
int scan_index
struct {
char sign;
u8 realbits;
u8 storagebits;
u8 shift;
u8 repeat;
enum iio_endian endianness;
} scan_type;
};
</programlisting>
The driver implementing the accelerometer described above will
have the following channel definition:
<programlisting>
struct struct iio_chan_spec accel_channels[] = {
{
.type = IIO_ACCEL,
.modified = 1,
.channel2 = IIO_MOD_X,
/* other stuff here */
.scan_index = 0,
.scan_type = {
.sign = 's',
.realbits = 12,
.storagebits = 16,
.shift = 4,
.endianness = IIO_LE,
},
}
/* similar for Y (with channel2 = IIO_MOD_Y, scan_index = 1)
* and Z (with channel2 = IIO_MOD_Z, scan_index = 2) axis
*/
}
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
Here <emphasis> scan_index </emphasis> defines the order in which
the enabled channels are placed inside the buffer. Channels with a lower
scan_index will be placed before channels with a higher index. Each
channel needs to have a unique scan_index.
</para>
<para>
Setting scan_index to -1 can be used to indicate that the specific
channel does not support buffered capture. In this case no entries will
be created for the channel in the scan_elements directory.
</para>

<sect1 id="iiotrigger"> <title> Industrial I/O triggers </title>
!Finclude/linux/iio/trigger.h iio_trigger
!Edrivers/iio/industrialio-trigger.c
<para>
In many situations it is useful for a driver to be able to
capture data based on some external event (trigger) as opposed
to periodically polling for data. An IIO trigger can be provided
by a device driver that also has an IIO device based on hardware
generated events (e.g. data ready or threshold exceeded) or
provided by a separate driver from an independent interrupt
source (e.g. GPIO line connected to some external system, timer
interrupt or user space writing a specific file in sysfs). A
trigger may initiate data capture for a number of sensors and
also it may be completely unrelated to the sensor itself.
</para>
<sect2 id="iiotrigsysfs"> <title> IIO trigger sysfs interface </title>
There are two locations in sysfs related to triggers:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><filename>/sys/bus/iio/devices/triggerY</filename>,
this file is created once an IIO trigger is registered with
the IIO core and corresponds to trigger with index Y. Because
triggers can be very different depending on type there are few
standard attributes that we can describe here:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<emphasis>name</emphasis>, trigger name that can be later
used for association with a device.
</listitem>
<listitem>
<emphasis>sampling_frequency</emphasis>, some timer based
triggers use this attribute to specify the frequency for
trigger calls.
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<filename>/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/trigger/</filename>, this
directory is created once the device supports a triggered
buffer. We can associate a trigger with our device by writing
the trigger's name in the <filename>current_trigger</filename> file.
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="iiotrigattr"> <title> IIO trigger setup</title>
<para>
Let's see a simple example of how to setup a trigger to be used
by a driver.
<programlisting>
struct iio_trigger_ops trigger_ops = {
.set_trigger_state = sample_trigger_state,
.validate_device = sample_validate_device,
}
struct iio_trigger *trig;
/* first, allocate memory for our trigger */
trig = iio_trigger_alloc(dev, "trig-%s-%d", name, idx);
/* setup trigger operations field */
trig->ops = &amp;trigger_ops;
/* now register the trigger with the IIO core */
iio_trigger_register(trig);
</programlisting>
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="iiotrigsetup"> <title> IIO trigger ops</title>
!Finclude/linux/iio/trigger.h iio_trigger_ops
<para>
Notice that a trigger has a set of operations attached:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<function>set_trigger_state</function>, switch the trigger on/off
on demand.
</listitem>
<listitem>
<function>validate_device</function>, function to validate the
device when the current trigger gets changed.
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
</sect2>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="iiotriggered_buffer">
<title> Industrial I/O triggered buffers </title>
<para>
Now that we know what buffers and triggers are let's see how they
work together.
</para>
<sect2 id="iiotrigbufsetup"> <title> IIO triggered buffer setup</title>
!Edrivers/iio/buffer/industrialio-triggered-buffer.c
!Finclude/linux/iio/iio.h iio_buffer_setup_ops
<para>
A typical triggered buffer setup looks like this:
<programlisting>
const struct iio_buffer_setup_ops sensor_buffer_setup_ops = {
.preenable = sensor_buffer_preenable,
.postenable = sensor_buffer_postenable,
.postdisable = sensor_buffer_postdisable,
.predisable = sensor_buffer_predisable,
};
irqreturn_t sensor_iio_pollfunc(int irq, void *p)
{
pf->timestamp = iio_get_time_ns((struct indio_dev *)p);
return IRQ_WAKE_THREAD;
}
irqreturn_t sensor_trigger_handler(int irq, void *p)
{
u16 buf[8];
int i = 0;
/* read data for each active channel */
for_each_set_bit(bit, active_scan_mask, masklength)
buf[i++] = sensor_get_data(bit)
iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp(indio_dev, buf, timestamp);
iio_trigger_notify_done(trigger);
return IRQ_HANDLED;
}
/* setup triggered buffer, usually in probe function */
iio_triggered_buffer_setup(indio_dev, sensor_iio_polfunc,
sensor_trigger_handler,
sensor_buffer_setup_ops);
</programlisting>
</para>
The important things to notice here are:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><function> iio_buffer_setup_ops</function>, the buffer setup
functions to be called at predefined points in the buffer configuration
sequence (e.g. before enable, after disable). If not specified, the
IIO core uses the default <type>iio_triggered_buffer_setup_ops</type>.
</listitem>
<listitem><function>sensor_iio_pollfunc</function>, the function that
will be used as top half of poll function. It should do as little
processing as possible, because it runs in interrupt context. The most
common operation is recording of the current timestamp and for this reason
one can use the IIO core defined <function>iio_pollfunc_store_time
</function> function.
</listitem>
<listitem><function>sensor_trigger_handler</function>, the function that
will be used as bottom half of the poll function. This runs in the
context of a kernel thread and all the processing takes place here.
It usually reads data from the device and stores it in the internal
buffer together with the timestamp recorded in the top half.
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</sect2>
</sect1>
</chapter>
<chapter id='iioresources'>
<title> Resources </title>
IIO core may change during time so the best documentation to read is the
source code. There are several locations where you should look:

<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
This framework is designed to provide a standard kernel
interface to control voltage and current regulators.
</para>
<para>
The intention is to allow systems to dynamically control
regulator power output in order to save power and prolong
battery life. This applies to both voltage regulators (where
voltage output is controllable) and current sinks (where current
limit is controllable).
</para>
<para>
Note that additional (and currently more complete) documentation
is available in the Linux kernel source under
<filename>Documentation/power/regulator</filename>.

<para>
The regulator API uses a number of terms which may not be
familiar:
</para>
<glossary>
<glossentry>
<glossterm>Regulator</glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>
Electronic device that supplies power to other devices. Most
regulators can enable and disable their output and some can also
control their output voltage or current.
</para>
</glossdef>
</glossentry>
<glossentry>
<glossterm>Consumer</glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>
Electronic device which consumes power provided by a regulator.
These may either be static, requiring only a fixed supply, or
dynamic, requiring active management of the regulator at
runtime.
</para>
</glossdef>
</glossentry>
<glossentry>
<glossterm>Power Domain</glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>
The electronic circuit supplied by a given regulator, including
the regulator and all consumer devices. The configuration of
the regulator is shared between all the components in the
circuit.
</para>
</glossdef>
</glossentry>
<glossentry>
<glossterm>Power Management Integrated Circuit</glossterm>
<acronym>PMIC</acronym>
<glossdef>
<para>
An IC which contains numerous regulators and often also other
subsystems. In an embedded system the primary PMIC is often
equivalent to a combination of the PSU and southbridge in a
desktop system.
</para>
</glossdef>
</glossentry>
</glossary>
</sect1>
</chapter>
<chapter id="consumer">
<title>Consumer driver interface</title>
<para>
This offers a similar API to the kernel clock framework.
Consumer drivers use <link
linkend='API-regulator-get'>get</link> and <link
linkend='API-regulator-put'>put</link> operations to acquire and
release regulators. Functions are
provided to <link linkend='API-regulator-enable'>enable</link>
and <link linkend='API-regulator-disable'>disable</link> the
regulator and to get and set the runtime parameters of the
regulator.
</para>
<para>
When requesting regulators consumers use symbolic names for their
supplies, such as "Vcc", which are mapped into actual regulator
devices by the machine interface.
</para>
<para>
A stub version of this API is provided when the regulator
framework is not in use in order to minimise the need to use
ifdefs.
</para>
<sect1 id="consumer-enable">
<title>Enabling and disabling</title>
<para>
The regulator API provides reference counted enabling and
disabling of regulators. Consumer devices use the <function><link
linkend='API-regulator-enable'>regulator_enable</link></function>
and <function><link
linkend='API-regulator-disable'>regulator_disable</link>
</function> functions to enable and disable regulators. Calls
to the two functions must be balanced.
</para>
<para>
Note that since multiple consumers may be using a regulator and
machine constraints may not allow the regulator to be disabled
there is no guarantee that calling
<function>regulator_disable</function> will actually cause the
supply provided by the regulator to be disabled. Consumer
drivers should assume that the regulator may be enabled at all
times.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="consumer-config">
<title>Configuration</title>
<para>
Some consumer devices may need to be able to dynamically
configure their supplies. For example, MMC drivers may need to
select the correct operating voltage for their cards. This may
be done while the regulator is enabled or disabled.
</para>
<para>
The <function><link
linkend='API-regulator-set-voltage'>regulator_set_voltage</link>
</function> and <function><link
linkend='API-regulator-set-current-limit'
>regulator_set_current_limit</link>
</function> functions provide the primary interface for this.
Both take ranges of voltages and currents, supporting drivers
that do not require a specific value (eg, CPU frequency scaling
normally permits the CPU to use a wider range of supply
voltages at lower frequencies but does not require that the
supply voltage be lowered). Where an exact value is required
both minimum and maximum values should be identical.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="consumer-callback">
<title>Callbacks</title>
<para>
Callbacks may also be <link
linkend='API-regulator-register-notifier'>registered</link>
for events such as regulation failures.
</para>
</sect1>
</chapter>
<chapter id="driver">
<title>Regulator driver interface</title>
<para>
Drivers for regulator chips <link
linkend='API-regulator-register'>register</link> the regulators
with the regulator core, providing operations structures to the
core. A <link
linkend='API-regulator-notifier-call-chain'>notifier</link> interface
allows error conditions to be reported to the core.
</para>
<para>
Registration should be triggered by explicit setup done by the
platform, supplying a <link
linkend='API-struct-regulator-init-data'>struct
regulator_init_data</link> for the regulator containing
<link linkend='machine-constraint'>constraint</link> and
<link linkend='machine-supply'>supply</link> information.
</para>
</chapter>
<chapter id="machine">
<title>Machine interface</title>
<para>
This interface provides a way to define how regulators are
connected to consumers on a given system and what the valid
operating parameters are for the system.
</para>
<sect1 id="machine-supply">
<title>Supplies</title>
<para>
Regulator supplies are specified using <link
linkend='API-struct-regulator-consumer-supply'>struct
regulator_consumer_supply</link>. This is done at
<link linkend='driver'>driver registration
time</link> as part of the machine constraints.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="machine-constraint">
<title>Constraints</title>
<para>
As well as defining the connections the machine interface
also provides constraints defining the operations that
clients are allowed to perform and the parameters that may be
set. This is required since generally regulator devices will
offer more flexibility than it is safe to use on a given
system, for example supporting higher supply voltages than the
consumers are rated for.
</para>
<para>
This is done at <link linkend='driver'>driver
registration time</link> by providing a <link
linkend='API-struct-regulation-constraints'>struct
regulation_constraints</link>.
</para>
<para>
The constraints may also specify an initial configuration for the
regulator in the constraints, which is particularly useful for
use with static consumers.
</para>
</sect1>

CPU hotplug in the Kernel
=========================
:Date: December, 2016

Introduction
============
Modern advances in system architectures have introduced advanced error
reporting and correction capabilities in processors. There are couple OEMS that
support NUMA hardware which are hot pluggable as well, where physical node
insertion and removal require support for CPU hotplug.
Such advances require CPUs available to a kernel to be removed either for
provisioning reasons, or for RAS purposes to keep an offending CPU off
system execution path. Hence the need for CPU hotplug support in the
Linux kernel.
A more novel use of CPU-hotplug support is its use today in suspend resume
support for SMP. Dual-core and HT support makes even a laptop run SMP kernels
which didn't support these methods.
Command Line Switches
=====================
``maxcpus=n``
Restrict boot time CPUs to *n*. Say if you have fourV CPUs, using
``maxcpus=2`` will only boot two. You can choose to bring the
other CPUs later online.
``nr_cpus=n``
Restrict the total amount CPUs the kernel will support. If the number
supplied here is lower than the number of physically available CPUs than
those CPUs can not be brought online later.
``additional_cpus=n``
Use this to limit hotpluggable CPUs. This option sets
``cpu_possible_mask = cpu_present_mask + additional_cpus``
This option is limited to the IA64 architecture.
``possible_cpus=n``
This option sets ``possible_cpus`` bits in ``cpu_possible_mask``.
This option is limited to the X86 and S390 architecture.
``cede_offline={"off","on"}``
Use this option to disable/enable putting offlined processors to an extended
``H_CEDE`` state on supported pseries platforms. If nothing is specified,
``cede_offline`` is set to "on".
This option is limited to the PowerPC architecture.
``cpu0_hotplug``
Allow to shutdown CPU0.
This option is limited to the X86 architecture.
CPU maps
========
``cpu_possible_mask``
Bitmap of possible CPUs that can ever be available in the
system. This is used to allocate some boot time memory for per_cpu variables
that aren't designed to grow/shrink as CPUs are made available or removed.
Once set during boot time discovery phase, the map is static, i.e no bits
are added or removed anytime. Trimming it accurately for your system needs
upfront can save some boot time memory.
``cpu_online_mask``
Bitmap of all CPUs currently online. Its set in ``__cpu_up()``
after a CPU is available for kernel scheduling and ready to receive
interrupts from devices. Its cleared when a CPU is brought down using
``__cpu_disable()``, before which all OS services including interrupts are
migrated to another target CPU.
``cpu_present_mask``
Bitmap of CPUs currently present in the system. Not all
of them may be online. When physical hotplug is processed by the relevant
subsystem (e.g ACPI) can change and new bit either be added or removed
from the map depending on the event is hot-add/hot-remove. There are currently
no locking rules as of now. Typical usage is to init topology during boot,
at which time hotplug is disabled.
You really don't need to manipulate any of the system CPU maps. They should
be read-only for most use. When setting up per-cpu resources almost always use
``cpu_possible_mask`` or ``for_each_possible_cpu()`` to iterate. To macro
``for_each_cpu()`` can be used to iterate over a custom CPU mask.
Never use anything other than ``cpumask_t`` to represent bitmap of CPUs.
Using CPU hotplug
=================
The kernel option *CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU* needs to be enabled. It is currently
available on multiple architectures including ARM, MIPS, PowerPC and X86. The
configuration is done via the sysfs interface: ::
$ ls -lh /sys/devices/system/cpu
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 0 Dec 21 16:33 cpu0
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 0 Dec 21 16:33 cpu1
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 0 Dec 21 16:33 cpu2
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 0 Dec 21 16:33 cpu3
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 0 Dec 21 16:33 cpu4
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 0 Dec 21 16:33 cpu5
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 0 Dec 21 16:33 cpu6
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 0 Dec 21 16:33 cpu7
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 21 16:33 hotplug
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4.0K Dec 21 16:33 offline
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4.0K Dec 21 16:33 online
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4.0K Dec 21 16:33 possible
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4.0K Dec 21 16:33 present
The files *offline*, *online*, *possible*, *present* represent the CPU masks.
Each CPU folder contains an *online* file which controls the logical on (1) and
off (0) state. To logically shutdown CPU4: ::
$ echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/online
smpboot: CPU 4 is now offline
Once the CPU is shutdown, it will be removed from */proc/interrupts*,
*/proc/cpuinfo* and should also not be shown visible by the *top* command. To
bring CPU4 back online: ::
$ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/online
smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 4 APIC 0x1
The CPU is usable again. This should work on all CPUs. CPU0 is often special
and excluded from CPU hotplug. On X86 the kernel option
*CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0* has to be enabled in order to be able to
shutdown CPU0. Alternatively the kernel command option *cpu0_hotplug* can be
used. Some known dependencies of CPU0:
* Resume from hibernate/suspend. Hibernate/suspend will fail if CPU0 is offline.
* PIC interrupts. CPU0 can't be removed if a PIC interrupt is detected.
Please let Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> know if you find any dependencies
on CPU0.
The CPU hotplug coordination
============================
The offline case
----------------
Once a CPU has been logically shutdown the teardown callbacks of registered
hotplug states will be invoked, starting with ``CPUHP_ONLINE`` and terminating
at state ``CPUHP_OFFLINE``. This includes:
* If tasks are frozen due to a suspend operation then *cpuhp_tasks_frozen*
will be set to true.
* All processes are migrated away from this outgoing CPU to new CPUs.
The new CPU is chosen from each process' current cpuset, which may be
a subset of all online CPUs.
* All interrupts targeted to this CPU are migrated to a new CPU
* timers are also migrated to a new CPU
* Once all services are migrated, kernel calls an arch specific routine
``__cpu_disable()`` to perform arch specific cleanup.
Using the hotplug API
---------------------
It is possible to receive notifications once a CPU is offline or onlined. This
might be important to certain drivers which need to perform some kind of setup
or clean up functions based on the number of available CPUs: ::
#include <linux/cpuhotplug.h>
ret = cpuhp_setup_state(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN, "X/Y:online",
Y_online, Y_prepare_down);
*X* is the subsystem and *Y* the particular driver. The *Y_online* callback
will be invoked during registration on all online CPUs. If an error
occurs during the online callback the *Y_prepare_down* callback will be
invoked on all CPUs on which the online callback was previously invoked.
After registration completed, the *Y_online* callback will be invoked
once a CPU is brought online and *Y_prepare_down* will be invoked when a
CPU is shutdown. All resources which were previously allocated in
*Y_online* should be released in *Y_prepare_down*.
The return value *ret* is negative if an error occurred during the
registration process. Otherwise a positive value is returned which
contains the allocated hotplug for dynamically allocated states
(*CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN*). It will return zero for predefined states.
The callback can be remove by invoking ``cpuhp_remove_state()``. In case of a
dynamically allocated state (*CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN*) use the returned state.
During the removal of a hotplug state the teardown callback will be invoked.
Multiple instances
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If a driver has multiple instances and each instance needs to perform the
callback independently then it is likely that a ''multi-state'' should be used.
First a multi-state state needs to be registered: ::
ret = cpuhp_setup_state_multi(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN, "X/Y:online,
Y_online, Y_prepare_down);
Y_hp_online = ret;
The ``cpuhp_setup_state_multi()`` behaves similar to ``cpuhp_setup_state()``
except it prepares the callbacks for a multi state and does not invoke
the callbacks. This is a one time setup.
Once a new instance is allocated, you need to register this new instance: ::
ret = cpuhp_state_add_instance(Y_hp_online, &d->node);
This function will add this instance to your previously allocated
*Y_hp_online* state and invoke the previously registered callback
(*Y_online*) on all online CPUs. The *node* element is a ``struct
hlist_node`` member of your per-instance data structure.
On removal of the instance: ::
cpuhp_state_remove_instance(Y_hp_online, &d->node)
should be invoked which will invoke the teardown callback on all online
CPUs.
Manual setup
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usually it is handy to invoke setup and teardown callbacks on registration or
removal of a state because usually the operation needs to performed once a CPU
goes online (offline) and during initial setup (shutdown) of the driver. However
each registration and removal function is also available with a ``_nocalls``
suffix which does not invoke the provided callbacks if the invocation of the
callbacks is not desired. During the manual setup (or teardown) the functions
``get_online_cpus()`` and ``put_online_cpus()`` should be used to inhibit CPU
hotplug operations.
The ordering of the events
--------------------------
The hotplug states are defined in ``include/linux/cpuhotplug.h``:
* The states *CPUHP_OFFLINE* … *CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE* are invoked before the
CPU is up.
* The states *CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE* … *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE* are invoked
just the after the CPU has been brought up. The interrupts are off and
the scheduler is not yet active on this CPU. Starting with *CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE*
the callbacks are invoked on the target CPU.
* The states between *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN* and *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN_END* are
reserved for the dynamic allocation.
* The states are invoked in the reverse order on CPU shutdown starting with
*CPUHP_ONLINE* and stopping at *CPUHP_OFFLINE*. Here the callbacks are
invoked on the CPU that will be shutdown until *CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE*.
A dynamically allocated state via *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN* is often enough.
However if an earlier invocation during the bring up or shutdown is required
then an explicit state should be acquired. An explicit state might also be
required if the hotplug event requires specific ordering in respect to
another hotplug event.
Testing of hotplug states
=========================
One way to verify whether a custom state is working as expected or not is to
shutdown a CPU and then put it online again. It is also possible to put the CPU
to certain state (for instance *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE*) and then go back to
*CPUHP_ONLINE*. This would simulate an error one state after *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE*
which would lead to rollback to the online state.
All registered states are enumerated in ``/sys/devices/system/cpu/hotplug/states``: ::
$ tail /sys/devices/system/cpu/hotplug/states
138: mm/vmscan:online
139: mm/vmstat:online
140: lib/percpu_cnt:online
141: acpi/cpu-drv:online
142: base/cacheinfo:online
143: virtio/net:online
144: x86/mce:online
145: printk:online
168: sched:active
169: online
To rollback CPU4 to ``lib/percpu_cnt:online`` and back online just issue: ::
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/hotplug/state
169
$ echo 140 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/hotplug/target
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/hotplug/state
140
It is important to note that the teardown callbac of state 140 have been
invoked. And now get back online: ::
$ echo 169 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/hotplug/target
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/hotplug/state
169
With trace events enabled, the individual steps are visible, too: ::

As it an be seen, CPU4 went down until timestamp 22.996 and then back up until
95.552. All invoked callbacks including their return codes are visible in the
trace.
Architecture's requirements
===========================
The following functions and configurations are required:
``CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU``
This entry needs to be enabled in Kconfig
``__cpu_up()``
Arch interface to bring up a CPU
``__cpu_disable()``
Arch interface to shutdown a CPU, no more interrupts can be handled by the
kernel after the routine returns. This includes the shutdown of the timer.
``__cpu_die()``
This actually supposed to ensure death of the CPU. Actually look at some
example code in other arch that implement CPU hotplug. The processor is taken
down from the ``idle()`` loop for that specific architecture. ``__cpu_die()``
typically waits for some per_cpu state to be set, to ensure the processor dead
routine is called to be sure positively.
User Space Notification
=======================
After CPU successfully onlined or offline udev events are sent. A udev rule like: ::
SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", DRIVERS=="processor", DEVPATH=="/devices/system/cpu/*", RUN+="the_hotplug_receiver.sh"
will receive all events. A script like: ::
#!/bin/sh
if [ "${ACTION}" = "offline" ]
then
echo "CPU ${DEVPATH##*/} offline"
elif [ "${ACTION}" = "online" ]
then
echo "CPU ${DEVPATH##*/} online"
fi
can process the event further.

Introduction
Modern advances in system architectures have introduced advanced error
reporting and correction capabilities in processors. CPU architectures permit
partitioning support, where compute resources of a single CPU could be made
available to virtual machine environments. There are couple OEMS that
support NUMA hardware which are hot pluggable as well, where physical
node insertion and removal require support for CPU hotplug.
Such advances require CPUs available to a kernel to be removed either for
provisioning reasons, or for RAS purposes to keep an offending CPU off
system execution path. Hence the need for CPU hotplug support in the
Linux kernel.
A more novel use of CPU-hotplug support is its use today in suspend
resume support for SMP. Dual-core and HT support makes even
a laptop run SMP kernels which didn't support these methods. SMP support
for suspend/resume is a work in progress.
General Stuff about CPU Hotplug
--------------------------------
Command Line Switches
---------------------
maxcpus=n Restrict boot time cpus to n. Say if you have 4 cpus, using
maxcpus=2 will only boot 2. You can choose to bring the
other cpus later online, read FAQ's for more info.
additional_cpus=n (*) Use this to limit hotpluggable cpus. This option sets
cpu_possible_mask = cpu_present_mask + additional_cpus
cede_offline={"off","on"} Use this option to disable/enable putting offlined
processors to an extended H_CEDE state on
supported pseries platforms.
If nothing is specified,
cede_offline is set to "on".
(*) Option valid only for following architectures
- ia64
ia64 uses the number of disabled local apics in ACPI tables MADT to
determine the number of potentially hot-pluggable cpus. The implementation
should only rely on this to count the # of cpus, but *MUST* not rely
on the apicid values in those tables for disabled apics. In the event
BIOS doesn't mark such hot-pluggable cpus as disabled entries, one could
use this parameter "additional_cpus=x" to represent those cpus in the
cpu_possible_mask.
possible_cpus=n [s390,x86_64] use this to set hotpluggable cpus.
This option sets possible_cpus bits in
cpu_possible_mask. Thus keeping the numbers of bits set
constant even if the machine gets rebooted.
CPU maps and such
-----------------
[More on cpumaps and primitive to manipulate, please check
include/linux/cpumask.h that has more descriptive text.]
cpu_possible_mask: Bitmap of possible CPUs that can ever be available in the
system. This is used to allocate some boot time memory for per_cpu variables
that aren't designed to grow/shrink as CPUs are made available or removed.
Once set during boot time discovery phase, the map is static, i.e no bits
are added or removed anytime. Trimming it accurately for your system needs
upfront can save some boot time memory. See below for how we use heuristics
in x86_64 case to keep this under check.
cpu_online_mask: Bitmap of all CPUs currently online. It's set in __cpu_up()
after a CPU is available for kernel scheduling and ready to receive
interrupts from devices. It's cleared when a CPU is brought down using
__cpu_disable(), before which all OS services including interrupts are
migrated to another target CPU.
cpu_present_mask: Bitmap of CPUs currently present in the system. Not all
of them may be online. When physical hotplug is processed by the relevant
subsystem (e.g ACPI) can change and new bit either be added or removed
from the map depending on the event is hot-add/hot-remove. There are currently
no locking rules as of now. Typical usage is to init topology during boot,
at which time hotplug is disabled.
You really dont need to manipulate any of the system cpu maps. They should
be read-only for most use. When setting up per-cpu resources almost always use
cpu_possible_mask/for_each_possible_cpu() to iterate.
Never use anything other than cpumask_t to represent bitmap of CPUs.
#include <linux/cpumask.h>
for_each_possible_cpu - Iterate over cpu_possible_mask
for_each_online_cpu - Iterate over cpu_online_mask
for_each_present_cpu - Iterate over cpu_present_mask
for_each_cpu(x,mask) - Iterate over some random collection of cpu mask.
#include <linux/cpu.h>
get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus():
The above calls are used to inhibit cpu hotplug operations. While the
cpu_hotplug.refcount is non zero, the cpu_online_mask will not change.
If you merely need to avoid cpus going away, you could also use
preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() for those sections.
Just remember the critical section cannot call any
function that can sleep or schedule this process away. The preempt_disable()

Q: How to enable my kernel to support CPU hotplug?
A: When doing make defconfig, Enable CPU hotplug support
"Processor type and Features" -> Support for Hotpluggable CPUs
Make sure that you have CONFIG_SMP turned on as well.
You would need to enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU for SMP suspend/resume support
as well.
Q: What architectures support CPU hotplug?
A: As of 2.6.14, the following architectures support CPU hotplug.
i386 (Intel), ppc, ppc64, parisc, s390, ia64 and x86_64
Q: How to test if hotplug is supported on the newly built kernel?
A: You should now notice an entry in sysfs.
Check if sysfs is mounted, using the "mount" command. You should notice
an entry as shown below in the output.
....
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
....
If this is not mounted, do the following.
#mkdir /sys
#mount -t sysfs sys /sys
Now you should see entries for all present cpu, the following is an example
in a 8-way system.
#pwd
#/sys/devices/system/cpu
#ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 0 Sep 19 07:44 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 0 Sep 19 07:45 ..
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Sep 19 07:44 cpu0
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Sep 19 07:44 cpu1
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Sep 19 07:44 cpu2
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Sep 19 07:44 cpu3
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Sep 19 07:44 cpu4
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Sep 19 07:44 cpu5
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Sep 19 07:44 cpu6
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Sep 19 07:48 cpu7
Under each directory you would find an "online" file which is the control
file to logically online/offline a processor.
Q: Does hot-add/hot-remove refer to physical add/remove of cpus?
A: The usage of hot-add/remove may not be very consistently used in the code.
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU enables logical online/offline capability in the kernel.
To support physical addition/removal, one would need some BIOS hooks and
the platform should have something like an attention button in PCI hotplug.
CONFIG_ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU enables ACPI support for physical add/remove of CPUs.
Q: How do I logically offline a CPU?
A: Do the following.
#echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online
Once the logical offline is successful, check
#cat /proc/interrupts
You should now not see the CPU that you removed. Also online file will report
the state as 0 when a CPU is offline and 1 when it's online.
#To display the current cpu state.
#cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online
Q: Why can't I remove CPU0 on some systems?
A: Some architectures may have some special dependency on a certain CPU.
For e.g in IA64 platforms we have ability to send platform interrupts to the
OS. a.k.a Corrected Platform Error Interrupts (CPEI). In current ACPI
specifications, we didn't have a way to change the target CPU. Hence if the
current ACPI version doesn't support such re-direction, we disable that CPU
by making it not-removable.
In such cases you will also notice that the online file is missing under cpu0.
Q: Is CPU0 removable on X86?
A: Yes. If kernel is compiled with CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0=y, CPU0 is
removable by default. Otherwise, CPU0 is also removable by kernel option
cpu0_hotplug.
But some features depend on CPU0. Two known dependencies are:
1. Resume from hibernate/suspend depends on CPU0. Hibernate/suspend will fail if
CPU0 is offline and you need to online CPU0 before hibernate/suspend can
continue.
2. PIC interrupts also depend on CPU0. CPU0 can't be removed if a PIC interrupt
is detected.
It's said poweroff/reboot may depend on CPU0 on some machines although I haven't
seen any poweroff/reboot failure so far after CPU0 is offline on a few tested
machines.
Please let me know if you know or see any other dependencies of CPU0.
If the dependencies are under your control, you can turn on CPU0 hotplug feature
either by CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 or by kernel parameter cpu0_hotplug.

Q: How do I find out if a particular CPU is not removable?
A: Depending on the implementation, some architectures may show this by the
absence of the "online" file. This is done if it can be determined ahead of
time that this CPU cannot be removed.
In some situations, this can be a run time check, i.e if you try to remove the
last CPU, this will not be permitted. You can find such failures by
investigating the return value of the "echo" command.
Q: What happens when a CPU is being logically offlined?
A: The following happen, listed in no particular order :-)
- A notification is sent to in-kernel registered modules by sending an event
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE or CPU_DOWN_PREPARE_FROZEN, depending on whether or not the
CPU is being offlined while tasks are frozen due to a suspend operation in
progress
- All processes are migrated away from this outgoing CPU to new CPUs.
The new CPU is chosen from each process' current cpuset, which may be
a subset of all online CPUs.
- All interrupts targeted to this CPU are migrated to a new CPU
- timers/bottom half/task lets are also migrated to a new CPU
- Once all services are migrated, kernel calls an arch specific routine
__cpu_disable() to perform arch specific cleanup.
- Once this is successful, an event for successful cleanup is sent by an event
CPU_DEAD (or CPU_DEAD_FROZEN if tasks are frozen due to a suspend while the
CPU is being offlined).
"It is expected that each service cleans up when the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE
notifier is called, when CPU_DEAD is called it's expected there is nothing
running on behalf of this CPU that was offlined"
Q: If I have some kernel code that needs to be aware of CPU arrival and
departure, how to i arrange for proper notification?
A: This is what you would need in your kernel code to receive notifications.
#include <linux/cpu.h>
static int foobar_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb,
unsigned long action, void *hcpu)
{
unsigned int cpu = (unsigned long)hcpu;
switch (action) {
case CPU_ONLINE:
case CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN:
foobar_online_action(cpu);
break;
case CPU_DEAD:
case CPU_DEAD_FROZEN:
foobar_dead_action(cpu);
break;
}
return NOTIFY_OK;
}
static struct notifier_block foobar_cpu_notifier =
{
.notifier_call = foobar_cpu_callback,
};
You need to call register_cpu_notifier() from your init function.
Init functions could be of two types:
1. early init (init function called when only the boot processor is online).
2. late init (init function called _after_ all the CPUs are online).
For the first case, you should add the following to your init function
register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
For the second case, you should add the following to your init function
register_hotcpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
You can fail PREPARE notifiers if something doesn't work to prepare resources.
This will stop the activity and send a following CANCELED event back.
CPU_DEAD should not be failed, its just a goodness indication, but bad
things will happen if a notifier in path sent a BAD notify code.
Q: I don't see my action being called for all CPUs already up and running?
A: Yes, CPU notifiers are called only when new CPUs are on-lined or offlined.
If you need to perform some action for each CPU already in the system, then
do this:
for_each_online_cpu(i) {
foobar_cpu_callback(&foobar_cpu_notifier, CPU_UP_PREPARE, i);
foobar_cpu_callback(&foobar_cpu_notifier, CPU_ONLINE, i);
}
However, if you want to register a hotplug callback, as well as perform
some initialization for CPUs that are already online, then do this:
Version 1: (Correct)
---------
cpu_notifier_register_begin();
for_each_online_cpu(i) {
foobar_cpu_callback(&foobar_cpu_notifier,
CPU_UP_PREPARE, i);
foobar_cpu_callback(&foobar_cpu_notifier,
CPU_ONLINE, i);
}
/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
cpu_notifier_register_done();
Note that the following code is *NOT* the right way to achieve this,
because it is prone to an ABBA deadlock between the cpu_add_remove_lock
and the cpu_hotplug.lock.
Version 2: (Wrong!)
---------
get_online_cpus();
for_each_online_cpu(i) {
foobar_cpu_callback(&foobar_cpu_notifier,
CPU_UP_PREPARE, i);
foobar_cpu_callback(&foobar_cpu_notifier,
CPU_ONLINE, i);
}
register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
put_online_cpus();
So always use the first version shown above when you want to register
callbacks as well as initialize the already online CPUs.
Q: If I would like to develop CPU hotplug support for a new architecture,
what do I need at a minimum?
A: The following are what is required for CPU hotplug infrastructure to work
correctly.
- Make sure you have an entry in Kconfig to enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
- __cpu_up() - Arch interface to bring up a CPU
- __cpu_disable() - Arch interface to shutdown a CPU, no more interrupts
can be handled by the kernel after the routine
returns. Including local APIC timers etc are
shutdown.
- __cpu_die() - This actually supposed to ensure death of the CPU.
Actually look at some example code in other arch
that implement CPU hotplug. The processor is taken
down from the idle() loop for that specific
architecture. __cpu_die() typically waits for some
per_cpu state to be set, to ensure the processor
dead routine is called to be sure positively.
Q: I need to ensure that a particular CPU is not removed when there is some
work specific to this CPU in progress.
A: There are two ways. If your code can be run in interrupt context, use
smp_call_function_single(), otherwise use work_on_cpu(). Note that
work_on_cpu() is slow, and can fail due to out of memory:
int my_func_on_cpu(int cpu)
{
int err;
get_online_cpus();
if (!cpu_online(cpu))
err = -EINVAL;
else
#if NEEDS_BLOCKING
err = work_on_cpu(cpu, __my_func_on_cpu, NULL);
#else
smp_call_function_single(cpu, __my_func_on_cpu, &err,
true);
#endif
put_online_cpus();
return err;
}
Q: How do we determine how many CPUs are available for hotplug.
A: There is no clear spec defined way from ACPI that can give us that
information today. Based on some input from Natalie of Unisys,
that the ACPI MADT (Multiple APIC Description Tables) marks those possible
CPUs in a system with disabled status.
Andi implemented some simple heuristics that count the number of disabled
CPUs in MADT as hotpluggable CPUS. In the case there are no disabled CPUS
we assume 1/2 the number of CPUs currently present can be hotplugged.
Caveat: ACPI MADT can only provide 256 entries in systems with only ACPI 2.0c
or earlier ACPI version supported, because the apicid field in MADT is only
8 bits. From ACPI 3.0, this limitation was removed since the apicid field
was extended to 32 bits with x2APIC introduced.
User Space Notification
Hotplug support for devices is common in Linux today. Its being used today to
support automatic configuration of network, usb and pci devices. A hotplug
event can be used to invoke an agent script to perform the configuration task.
You can add /etc/hotplug/cpu.agent to handle hotplug notification user space
scripts.
#!/bin/bash
# $Id: cpu.agent
# Kernel hotplug params include:
#ACTION=%s [online or offline]
#DEVPATH=%s

Bus-Independent Device Accesses
===============================
:Author: Matthew Wilcox
:Author: Alan Cox
Introduction
============
Linux provides an API which abstracts performing IO across all busses
and devices, allowing device drivers to be written independently of bus
type.
Memory Mapped IO
================
Getting Access to the Device
----------------------------
The most widely supported form of IO is memory mapped IO. That is, a
part of the CPU's address space is interpreted not as accesses to
memory, but as accesses to a device. Some architectures define devices
to be at a fixed address, but most have some method of discovering
devices. The PCI bus walk is a good example of such a scheme. This
document does not cover how to receive such an address, but assumes you
are starting with one. Physical addresses are of type unsigned long.
This address should not be used directly. Instead, to get an address
suitable for passing to the accessor functions described below, you
should call :c:func:`ioremap()`. An address suitable for accessing
the device will be returned to you.
After you've finished using the device (say, in your module's exit
routine), call :c:func:`iounmap()` in order to return the address
space to the kernel. Most architectures allocate new address space each
time you call :c:func:`ioremap()`, and they can run out unless you
call :c:func:`iounmap()`.
Accessing the device
--------------------
The part of the interface most used by drivers is reading and writing
memory-mapped registers on the device. Linux provides interfaces to read
and write 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit quantities. Due to a
historical accident, these are named byte, word, long and quad accesses.
Both read and write accesses are supported; there is no prefetch support
at this time.
The functions are named readb(), readw(), readl(), readq(),
readb_relaxed(), readw_relaxed(), readl_relaxed(), readq_relaxed(),
writeb(), writew(), writel() and writeq().
Some devices (such as framebuffers) would like to use larger transfers than
8 bytes at a time. For these devices, the :c:func:`memcpy_toio()`,
:c:func:`memcpy_fromio()` and :c:func:`memset_io()` functions are
provided. Do not use memset or memcpy on IO addresses; they are not
guaranteed to copy data in order.
The read and write functions are defined to be ordered. That is the
compiler is not permitted to reorder the I/O sequence. When the ordering
can be compiler optimised, you can use __readb() and friends to
indicate the relaxed ordering. Use this with care.
While the basic functions are defined to be synchronous with respect to
each other and ordered with respect to each other the busses the devices
sit on may themselves have asynchronicity. In particular many authors
are burned by the fact that PCI bus writes are posted asynchronously. A
driver author must issue a read from the same device to ensure that
writes have occurred in the specific cases the author cares. This kind
of property cannot be hidden from driver writers in the API. In some
cases, the read used to flush the device may be expected to fail (if the
card is resetting, for example). In that case, the read should be done
from config space, which is guaranteed to soft-fail if the card doesn't
respond.
The following is an example of flushing a write to a device when the
driver would like to ensure the write's effects are visible prior to
continuing execution::
static inline void
qla1280_disable_intrs(struct scsi_qla_host *ha)
{
struct device_reg *reg;
reg = ha->iobase;
/* disable risc and host interrupts */
WRT_REG_WORD(&reg->ictrl, 0);
/*
* The following read will ensure that the above write
* has been received by the device before we return from this
* function.
*/
RD_REG_WORD(&reg->ictrl);
ha->flags.ints_enabled = 0;
}
In addition to write posting, on some large multiprocessing systems
(e.g. SGI Challenge, Origin and Altix machines) posted writes won't be
strongly ordered coming from different CPUs. Thus it's important to
properly protect parts of your driver that do memory-mapped writes with
locks and use the :c:func:`mmiowb()` to make sure they arrive in the
order intended. Issuing a regular readX() will also ensure write ordering,
but should only be used when the
driver has to be sure that the write has actually arrived at the device
(not that it's simply ordered with respect to other writes), since a
full readX() is a relatively expensive operation.
Generally, one should use :c:func:`mmiowb()` prior to releasing a spinlock
that protects regions using :c:func:`writeb()` or similar functions that
aren't surrounded by readb() calls, which will ensure ordering
and flushing. The following pseudocode illustrates what might occur if
write ordering isn't guaranteed via :c:func:`mmiowb()` or one of the
readX() functions::
CPU A: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags)
CPU A: ...
CPU A: writel(newval, ring_ptr);
CPU A: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags)
...
CPU B: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags)
CPU B: writel(newval2, ring_ptr);
CPU B: ...
CPU B: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags)
In the case above, newval2 could be written to ring_ptr before newval.
Fixing it is easy though::
CPU A: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags)
CPU A: ...
CPU A: writel(newval, ring_ptr);
CPU A: mmiowb(); /* ensure no other writes beat us to the device */
CPU A: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags)
...
CPU B: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags)
CPU B: writel(newval2, ring_ptr);
CPU B: ...
CPU B: mmiowb();
CPU B: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags)
See tg3.c for a real world example of how to use :c:func:`mmiowb()`
PCI ordering rules also guarantee that PIO read responses arrive after any
outstanding DMA writes from that bus, since for some devices the result of
a readb() call may signal to the driver that a DMA transaction is
complete. In many cases, however, the driver may want to indicate that the
next readb() call has no relation to any previous DMA writes
performed by the device. The driver can use readb_relaxed() for
these cases, although only some platforms will honor the relaxed
semantics. Using the relaxed read functions will provide significant
performance benefits on platforms that support it. The qla2xxx driver
provides examples of how to use readX_relaxed(). In many cases, a majority
of the driver's readX() calls can safely be converted to readX_relaxed()
calls, since only a few will indicate or depend on DMA completion.
Port Space Accesses
===================
Port Space Explained
--------------------
Another form of IO commonly supported is Port Space. This is a range of
addresses separate to the normal memory address space. Access to these
addresses is generally not as fast as accesses to the memory mapped
addresses, and it also has a potentially smaller address space.
Unlike memory mapped IO, no preparation is required to access port
space.
Accessing Port Space
--------------------
Accesses to this space are provided through a set of functions which
allow 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit accesses; also known as byte, word and
long. These functions are :c:func:`inb()`, :c:func:`inw()`,
:c:func:`inl()`, :c:func:`outb()`, :c:func:`outw()` and
:c:func:`outl()`.
Some variants are provided for these functions. Some devices require
that accesses to their ports are slowed down. This functionality is
provided by appending a ``_p`` to the end of the function.
There are also equivalents to memcpy. The :c:func:`ins()` and
:c:func:`outs()` functions copy bytes, words or longs to the given
port.

Buffers
=======
* struct :c:type:`iio_buffer` — general buffer structure
* :c:func:`iio_validate_scan_mask_onehot` — Validates that exactly one channel
is selected
* :c:func:`iio_buffer_get` — Grab a reference to the buffer
* :c:func:`iio_buffer_put` — Release the reference to the buffer
The Industrial I/O core offers a way for continuous data capture based on a
trigger source. Multiple data channels can be read at once from
:file:`/dev/iio:device{X}` character device node, thus reducing the CPU load.
IIO buffer sysfs interface
==========================
An IIO buffer has an associated attributes directory under
:file:`/sys/bus/iio/iio:device{X}/buffer/*`. Here are some of the existing
attributes:
* :file:`length`, the total number of data samples (capacity) that can be
stored by the buffer.
* :file:`enable`, activate buffer capture.
IIO buffer setup
================
The meta information associated with a channel reading placed in a buffer is
called a scan element . The important bits configuring scan elements are
exposed to userspace applications via the
:file:`/sys/bus/iio/iio:device{X}/scan_elements/*` directory. This file contains
attributes of the following form:
* :file:`enable`, used for enabling a channel. If and only if its attribute
is non *zero*, then a triggered capture will contain data samples for this
channel.
* :file:`type`, description of the scan element data storage within the buffer
and hence the form in which it is read from user space.
Format is [be|le]:[s|u]bits/storagebitsXrepeat[>>shift] .
* *be* or *le*, specifies big or little endian.
* *s* or *u*, specifies if signed (2's complement) or unsigned.
* *bits*, is the number of valid data bits.
* *storagebits*, is the number of bits (after padding) that it occupies in the
buffer.
* *shift*, if specified, is the shift that needs to be applied prior to
masking out unused bits.
* *repeat*, specifies the number of bits/storagebits repetitions. When the
repeat element is 0 or 1, then the repeat value is omitted.
For example, a driver for a 3-axis accelerometer with 12 bit resolution where
data is stored in two 8-bits registers as follows::
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|D3 |D2 |D1 |D0 | X | X | X | X | (LOW byte, address 0x06)
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|D11|D10|D9 |D8 |D7 |D6 |D5 |D4 | (HIGH byte, address 0x07)
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
will have the following scan element type for each axis::
$ cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/scan_elements/in_accel_y_type
le:s12/16>>4
A user space application will interpret data samples read from the buffer as
two byte little endian signed data, that needs a 4 bits right shift before
masking out the 12 valid bits of data.
For implementing buffer support a driver should initialize the following
fields in iio_chan_spec definition::
struct iio_chan_spec {
/* other members */
int scan_index
struct {
char sign;
u8 realbits;
u8 storagebits;
u8 shift;
u8 repeat;
enum iio_endian endianness;
} scan_type;
};
The driver implementing the accelerometer described above will have the
following channel definition::
struct struct iio_chan_spec accel_channels[] = {
{
.type = IIO_ACCEL,
.modified = 1,
.channel2 = IIO_MOD_X,
/* other stuff here */
.scan_index = 0,

}
Here **scan_index** defines the order in which the enabled channels are placed
inside the buffer. Channels with a lower **scan_index** will be placed before
channels with a higher index. Each channel needs to have a unique
**scan_index**.
Setting **scan_index** to -1 can be used to indicate that the specific channel
does not support buffered capture. In this case no entries will be created for
the channel in the scan_elements directory.

Core elements
=============
The Industrial I/O core offers a unified framework for writing drivers for
many different types of embedded sensors. a standard interface to user space
applications manipulating sensors. The implementation can be found under
:file:`drivers/iio/industrialio-*`
Industrial I/O Devices
----------------------
* struct :c:type:`iio_dev` - industrial I/O device
* :c:func:`iio_device_alloc()` - alocate an :c:type:`iio_dev` from a driver
* :c:func:`iio_device_free()` - free an :c:type:`iio_dev` from a driver
* :c:func:`iio_device_register()` - register a device with the IIO subsystem
* :c:func:`iio_device_unregister()` - unregister a device from the IIO
subsystem
An IIO device usually corresponds to a single hardware sensor and it
provides all the information needed by a driver handling a device.
Let's first have a look at the functionality embedded in an IIO device
then we will show how a device driver makes use of an IIO device.
There are two ways for a user space application to interact with an IIO driver.
1. :file:`/sys/bus/iio/iio:device{X}/`, this represents a hardware sensor
and groups together the data channels of the same chip.
2. :file:`/dev/iio:device{X}`, character device node interface used for
buffered data transfer and for events information retrieval.
A typical IIO driver will register itself as an :doc:`I2C <../i2c>` or
:doc:`SPI <../spi>` driver and will create two routines, probe and remove.
At probe:
1. Call :c:func:`iio_device_alloc()`, which allocates memory for an IIO device.
2. Initialize IIO device fields with driver specific information (e.g.
device name, device channels).
3. Call :c:func:`iio_device_register()`, this registers the device with the
IIO core. After this call the device is ready to accept requests from user
space applications.
At remove, we free the resources allocated in probe in reverse order:
1. :c:func:`iio_device_unregister()`, unregister the device from the IIO core.
2. :c:func:`iio_device_free()`, free the memory allocated for the IIO device.
IIO device sysfs interface
==========================
Attributes are sysfs files used to expose chip info and also allowing
applications to set various configuration parameters. For device with
index X, attributes can be found under /sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/ directory.
Common attributes are:
* :file:`name`, description of the physical chip.
* :file:`dev`, shows the major:minor pair associated with
:file:`/dev/iio:deviceX` node.
* :file:`sampling_frequency_available`, available discrete set of sampling
frequency values for device.
* Available standard attributes for IIO devices are described in the
:file:`Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio` file in the Linux kernel
sources.
IIO device channels
===================
struct :c:type:`iio_chan_spec` - specification of a single channel
An IIO device channel is a representation of a data channel. An IIO device can
have one or multiple channels. For example:
* a thermometer sensor has one channel representing the temperature measurement.
* a light sensor with two channels indicating the measurements in the visible
and infrared spectrum.
* an accelerometer can have up to 3 channels representing acceleration on X, Y
and Z axes.
An IIO channel is described by the struct :c:type:`iio_chan_spec`.
A thermometer driver for the temperature sensor in the example above would
have to describe its channel as follows::
static const struct iio_chan_spec temp_channel[] = {
{
.type = IIO_TEMP,
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED),
},
};
Channel sysfs attributes exposed to userspace are specified in the form of
bitmasks. Depending on their shared info, attributes can be set in one of the
following masks:
* **info_mask_separate**, attributes will be specific to
this channel
* **info_mask_shared_by_type**, attributes are shared by all channels of the
same type
* **info_mask_shared_by_dir**, attributes are shared by all channels of the same
direction
* **info_mask_shared_by_all**, attributes are shared by all channels
When there are multiple data channels per channel type we have two ways to
distinguish between them:
* set **.modified** field of :c:type:`iio_chan_spec` to 1. Modifiers are
specified using **.channel2** field of the same :c:type:`iio_chan_spec`
structure and are used to indicate a physically unique characteristic of the
channel such as its direction or spectral response. For example, a light
sensor can have two channels, one for infrared light and one for both
infrared and visible light.
* set **.indexed** field of :c:type:`iio_chan_spec` to 1. In this case the
channel is simply another instance with an index specified by the **.channel**
field.
Here is how we can make use of the channel's modifiers::
static const struct iio_chan_spec light_channels[] = {
{
.type = IIO_INTENSITY,
.modified = 1,
.channel2 = IIO_MOD_LIGHT_IR,
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),
.info_mask_shared = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ),
},
{
.type = IIO_INTENSITY,
.modified = 1,
.channel2 = IIO_MOD_LIGHT_BOTH,
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),
.info_mask_shared = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ),
},
{
.type = IIO_LIGHT,
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED),
.info_mask_shared = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ),
},
}
This channel's definition will generate two separate sysfs files for raw data
retrieval:
* :file:`/sys/bus/iio/iio:device{X}/in_intensity_ir_raw`
* :file:`/sys/bus/iio/iio:device{X}/in_intensity_both_raw`
one file for processed data:
* :file:`/sys/bus/iio/iio:device{X}/in_illuminance_input`
and one shared sysfs file for sampling frequency:
* :file:`/sys/bus/iio/iio:device{X}/sampling_frequency`.
Here is how we can make use of the channel's indexing::
static const struct iio_chan_spec light_channels[] = {
{
.type = IIO_VOLTAGE,
.indexed = 1,
.channel = 0,
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),
},
{
.type = IIO_VOLTAGE,
.indexed = 1,
.channel = 1,
.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),
},
}
This will generate two separate attributes files for raw data retrieval:
* :file:`/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device{X}/in_voltage0_raw`, representing
voltage measurement for channel 0.
* :file:`/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device{X}/in_voltage1_raw`, representing
voltage measurement for channel 1.

Introduction
============
The main purpose of the Industrial I/O subsystem (IIO) is to provide support
for devices that in some sense perform either
analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) or digital-to-analog conversion (DAC)
or both. The aim is to fill the gap between the somewhat similar hwmon and
:doc:`input <../input>` subsystems. Hwmon is directed at low sample rate
sensors used to monitor and control the system itself, like fan speed control
or temperature measurement. :doc:`Input <../input>` is, as its name suggests,
focused on human interaction input devices (keyboard, mouse, touchscreen).
In some cases there is considerable overlap between these and IIO.
Devices that fall into this category include:
* analog to digital converters (ADCs)
* accelerometers
* capacitance to digital converters (CDCs)
* digital to analog converters (DACs)
* gyroscopes
* inertial measurement units (IMUs)
* color and light sensors
* magnetometers
* pressure sensors
* proximity sensors
* temperature sensors
Usually these sensors are connected via :doc:`SPI <../spi>` or
:doc:`I2C <../i2c>`. A common use case of the sensors devices is to have
combined functionality (e.g. light plus proximity sensor).

=================
Triggered Buffers
=================
Now that we know what buffers and triggers are let's see how they work together.
IIO triggered buffer setup
==========================
* :c:func:`iio_triggered_buffer_setup` — Setup triggered buffer and pollfunc
* :c:func:`iio_triggered_buffer_cleanup` — Free resources allocated by
:c:func:`iio_triggered_buffer_setup`
* struct :c:type:`iio_buffer_setup_ops` — buffer setup related callbacks
A typical triggered buffer setup looks like this::
const struct iio_buffer_setup_ops sensor_buffer_setup_ops = {
.preenable = sensor_buffer_preenable,
.postenable = sensor_buffer_postenable,
.postdisable = sensor_buffer_postdisable,
.predisable = sensor_buffer_predisable,
};
irqreturn_t sensor_iio_pollfunc(int irq, void *p)
{
pf->timestamp = iio_get_time_ns((struct indio_dev *)p);
return IRQ_WAKE_THREAD;
}
irqreturn_t sensor_trigger_handler(int irq, void *p)
{
u16 buf[8];
int i = 0;
/* read data for each active channel */
for_each_set_bit(bit, active_scan_mask, masklength)
buf[i++] = sensor_get_data(bit)
iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp(indio_dev, buf, timestamp);
iio_trigger_notify_done(trigger);
return IRQ_HANDLED;
}
/* setup triggered buffer, usually in probe function */
iio_triggered_buffer_setup(indio_dev, sensor_iio_polfunc,
sensor_trigger_handler,
sensor_buffer_setup_ops);
The important things to notice here are:
* :c:type:`iio_buffer_setup_ops`, the buffer setup functions to be called at
predefined points in the buffer configuration sequence (e.g. before enable,
after disable). If not specified, the IIO core uses the default
iio_triggered_buffer_setup_ops.
* **sensor_iio_pollfunc**, the function that will be used as top half of poll
function. It should do as little processing as possible, because it runs in
interrupt context. The most common operation is recording of the current
timestamp and for this reason one can use the IIO core defined
:c:func:`iio_pollfunc_store_time` function.
* **sensor_trigger_handler**, the function that will be used as bottom half of
the poll function. This runs in the context of a kernel thread and all the
processing takes place here. It usually reads data from the device and
stores it in the internal buffer together with the timestamp recorded in the
top half.

Triggers
========
* struct :c:type:`iio_trigger` — industrial I/O trigger device
* :c:func:`devm_iio_trigger_alloc` — Resource-managed iio_trigger_alloc
* :c:func:`devm_iio_trigger_free` — Resource-managed iio_trigger_free
* :c:func:`devm_iio_trigger_register` — Resource-managed iio_trigger_register
* :c:func:`devm_iio_trigger_unregister` — Resource-managed
iio_trigger_unregister
* :c:func:`iio_trigger_validate_own_device` — Check if a trigger and IIO
device belong to the same device
In many situations it is useful for a driver to be able to capture data based
on some external event (trigger) as opposed to periodically polling for data.
An IIO trigger can be provided by a device driver that also has an IIO device
based on hardware generated events (e.g. data ready or threshold exceeded) or
provided by a separate driver from an independent interrupt source (e.g. GPIO
line connected to some external system, timer interrupt or user space writing
a specific file in sysfs). A trigger may initiate data capture for a number of
sensors and also it may be completely unrelated to the sensor itself.
IIO trigger sysfs interface
===========================
There are two locations in sysfs related to triggers:
* :file:`/sys/bus/iio/devices/trigger{Y}/*`, this file is created once an
IIO trigger is registered with the IIO core and corresponds to trigger
with index Y.
Because triggers can be very different depending on type there are few
standard attributes that we can describe here:
* :file:`name`, trigger name that can be later used for association with a
device.
* :file:`sampling_frequency`, some timer based triggers use this attribute to
specify the frequency for trigger calls.
* :file:`/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device{X}/trigger/*`, this directory is
created once the device supports a triggered buffer. We can associate a
trigger with our device by writing the trigger's name in the
:file:`current_trigger` file.
IIO trigger setup
=================
Let's see a simple example of how to setup a trigger to be used by a driver::
struct iio_trigger_ops trigger_ops = {
.set_trigger_state = sample_trigger_state,
.validate_device = sample_validate_device,
}
struct iio_trigger *trig;
/* first, allocate memory for our trigger */
trig = iio_trigger_alloc(dev, "trig-%s-%d", name, idx);
/* setup trigger operations field */
trig->ops = &trigger_ops;
/* now register the trigger with the IIO core */
iio_trigger_register(trig);
IIO trigger ops
===============
* struct :c:type:`iio_trigger_ops` — operations structure for an iio_trigger.
Notice that a trigger has a set of operations attached:
* :file:`set_trigger_state`, switch the trigger on/off on demand.
* :file:`validate_device`, function to validate the device when the current
trigger gets changed.

it into account in any way.

disallowed, unless the domain itself is defined as IRQ-safe. However, it
makes sense to define a PM domain as IRQ-safe only if all the devices in it
are IRQ-safe. Moreover, if an IRQ-safe domain has a parent domain, the runtime
PM of the parent is only allowed if the parent itself is IRQ-safe too with the

Suspend/Hibernation Notifiers
=============================
::
Copyright (c) 2016 Intel Corp., Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
There are some operations that subsystems or drivers may want to carry out
before hibernation/suspend or after restore/resume, but they require the system
to be fully functional, so the drivers' and subsystems' ``->suspend()`` and
``->resume()`` or even ``->prepare()`` and ``->complete()`` callbacks are not
suitable for this purpose.
For example, device drivers may want to upload firmware to their devices after
resume/restore, but they cannot do it by calling :c:func:`request_firmware()`
from their ``->resume()`` or ``->complete()`` callback routines (user land
processes are frozen at these points). The solution may be to load the firmware
into memory before processes are frozen and upload it from there in the
``->resume()`` routine. A suspend/hibernation notifier may be used for that.
Subsystems or drivers having such needs can register suspend notifiers that
will be called upon the following events by the PM core:
``PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE``
The system is going to hibernate, tasks will be frozen immediately. This
is different from ``PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE`` below, because in this case
additional work is done between the notifiers and the invocation of PM
callbacks for the "freeze" transition.
``PM_POST_HIBERNATION``
The system memory state has been restored from a hibernation image or an
error occurred during hibernation. Device restore callbacks have been
executed and tasks have been thawed.
``PM_RESTORE_PREPARE``
The system is going to restore a hibernation image. If all goes well,
the restored image kernel will issue a ``PM_POST_HIBERNATION``
notification.
``PM_POST_RESTORE``
An error occurred during restore from hibernation. Device restore
callbacks have been executed and tasks have been thawed.
``PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE``
The system is preparing for suspend.
``PM_POST_SUSPEND``
The system has just resumed or an error occurred during suspend. Device
resume callbacks have been executed and tasks have been thawed.
It is generally assumed that whatever the notifiers do for
``PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE``, should be undone for ``PM_POST_HIBERNATION``.
Analogously, operations carried out for ``PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE`` should be
reversed for ``PM_POST_SUSPEND``.
Moreover, if one of the notifiers fails for the ``PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE`` or
``PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE`` event, the notifiers that have already succeeded for that
event will be called for ``PM_POST_HIBERNATION`` or ``PM_POST_SUSPEND``,
respectively.
The hibernation and suspend notifiers are called with :c:data:`pm_mutex` held.
They are defined in the usual way, but their last argument is meaningless (it is
always NULL).
To register and/or unregister a suspend notifier use
:c:func:`register_pm_notifier()` and :c:func:`unregister_pm_notifier()`,
respectively (both defined in :file:`include/linux/suspend.h`). If you don't
need to unregister the notifier, you can also use the :c:func:`pm_notifier()`
macro defined in :file:`include/linux/suspend.h`.

Voltage and current regulator API
=================================
:Author: Liam Girdwood
:Author: Mark Brown
Introduction
============
This framework is designed to provide a standard kernel interface to
control voltage and current regulators.
The intention is to allow systems to dynamically control regulator power
output in order to save power and prolong battery life. This applies to
both voltage regulators (where voltage output is controllable) and
current sinks (where current limit is controllable).
Note that additional (and currently more complete) documentation is
available in the Linux kernel source under
``Documentation/power/regulator``.
Glossary
--------
The regulator API uses a number of terms which may not be familiar:
Regulator
Electronic device that supplies power to other devices. Most regulators
can enable and disable their output and some can also control their
output voltage or current.
Consumer
Electronic device which consumes power provided by a regulator. These
may either be static, requiring only a fixed supply, or dynamic,
requiring active management of the regulator at runtime.
Power Domain
The electronic circuit supplied by a given regulator, including the
regulator and all consumer devices. The configuration of the regulator
is shared between all the components in the circuit.
Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC)
An IC which contains numerous regulators and often also other
subsystems. In an embedded system the primary PMIC is often equivalent
to a combination of the PSU and southbridge in a desktop system.
Consumer driver interface
=========================
This offers a similar API to the kernel clock framework. Consumer
drivers use `get <#API-regulator-get>`__ and
`put <#API-regulator-put>`__ operations to acquire and release
regulators. Functions are provided to `enable <#API-regulator-enable>`__
and `disable <#API-regulator-disable>`__ the regulator and to get and
set the runtime parameters of the regulator.
When requesting regulators consumers use symbolic names for their
supplies, such as "Vcc", which are mapped into actual regulator devices
by the machine interface.
A stub version of this API is provided when the regulator framework is
not in use in order to minimise the need to use ifdefs.
Enabling and disabling
----------------------
The regulator API provides reference counted enabling and disabling of
regulators. Consumer devices use the :c:func:`regulator_enable()` and
:c:func:`regulator_disable()` functions to enable and disable
regulators. Calls to the two functions must be balanced.
Note that since multiple consumers may be using a regulator and machine
constraints may not allow the regulator to be disabled there is no
guarantee that calling :c:func:`regulator_disable()` will actually
cause the supply provided by the regulator to be disabled. Consumer
drivers should assume that the regulator may be enabled at all times.
Configuration
-------------
Some consumer devices may need to be able to dynamically configure their
supplies. For example, MMC drivers may need to select the correct
operating voltage for their cards. This may be done while the regulator
is enabled or disabled.
The :c:func:`regulator_set_voltage()` and
:c:func:`regulator_set_current_limit()` functions provide the primary
interface for this. Both take ranges of voltages and currents, supporting
drivers that do not require a specific value (eg, CPU frequency scaling
normally permits the CPU to use a wider range of supply voltages at lower
frequencies but does not require that the supply voltage be lowered). Where
an exact value is required both minimum and maximum values should be
identical.
Callbacks
---------
Callbacks may also be registered for events such as regulation failures.
Regulator driver interface
==========================
Drivers for regulator chips register the regulators with the regulator
core, providing operations structures to the core. A notifier interface
allows error conditions to be reported to the core.
Registration should be triggered by explicit setup done by the platform,
supplying a struct :c:type:`regulator_init_data` for the regulator
containing constraint and supply information.
Machine interface
=================
This interface provides a way to define how regulators are connected to
consumers on a given system and what the valid operating parameters are
for the system.
Supplies
--------
Regulator supplies are specified using struct
:c:type:`regulator_consumer_supply`. This is done at driver registration
time as part of the machine constraints.
Constraints
-----------
As well as defining the connections the machine interface also provides
constraints defining the operations that clients are allowed to perform
and the parameters that may be set. This is required since generally
regulator devices will offer more flexibility than it is safe to use on
a given system, for example supporting higher supply voltages than the
consumers are rated for.
This is done at driver registration time` by providing a
struct :c:type:`regulation_constraints`.
The constraints may also specify an initial configuration for the
regulator in the constraints, which is particularly useful for use with
static consumers.
API reference
=============
Due to limitations of the kernel documentation framework and the
existing layout of the source code the entire regulator API is

Suspend notifiers
(C) 2007-2011 Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>, GPL
There are some operations that subsystems or drivers may want to carry out
before hibernation/suspend or after restore/resume, but they require the system
to be fully functional, so the drivers' and subsystems' .suspend() and .resume()
or even .prepare() and .complete() callbacks are not suitable for this purpose.
For example, device drivers may want to upload firmware to their devices after
resume/restore, but they cannot do it by calling request_firmware() from their
.resume() or .complete() routines (user land processes are frozen at these
points). The solution may be to load the firmware into memory before processes
are frozen and upload it from there in the .resume() routine.
A suspend/hibernation notifier may be used for this purpose.
The subsystems or drivers having such needs can register suspend notifiers that
will be called upon the following events by the PM core:
PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE The system is going to hibernate, tasks will be frozen
immediately. This is different from PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE
below because here we do additional work between notifiers
and drivers freezing.
PM_POST_HIBERNATION The system memory state has been restored from a
hibernation image or an error occurred during
hibernation. Device drivers' restore callbacks have
been executed and tasks have been thawed.
PM_RESTORE_PREPARE The system is going to restore a hibernation image.
If all goes well, the restored kernel will issue a
PM_POST_HIBERNATION notification.
PM_POST_RESTORE An error occurred during restore from hibernation.
Device drivers' restore callbacks have been executed
and tasks have been thawed.
PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE The system is preparing for suspend.
PM_POST_SUSPEND The system has just resumed or an error occurred during
suspend. Device drivers' resume callbacks have been
executed and tasks have been thawed.
It is generally assumed that whatever the notifiers do for
PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE, should be undone for PM_POST_HIBERNATION. Analogously,
operations performed for PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE should be reversed for
PM_POST_SUSPEND. Additionally, all of the notifiers are called for
PM_POST_HIBERNATION if one of them fails for PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE, and
all of the notifiers are called for PM_POST_SUSPEND if one of them fails for
PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE.
The hibernation and suspend notifiers are called with pm_mutex held. They are
defined in the usual way, but their last argument is meaningless (it is always
NULL). To register and/or unregister a suspend notifier use the functions
register_pm_notifier() and unregister_pm_notifier(), respectively, defined in
include/linux/suspend.h . If you don't need to unregister the notifier, you can
also use the pm_notifier() macro defined in include/linux/suspend.h .

无条件跳转指令。 便了。如果并不需要清理操作，那么直接 return 即可。
当一个函数从多个位置退出，并且需要做一些类似清理的常见操作时，goto 语句就很方便了。 选择一个能够说明 goto 行为或它为何存在的标签名。如果 goto 要释放 ``buffer``,
如果并不需要清理操作，那么直接 return 即可。 一个不错的名字可以是 ``out_free_buffer:`` 。别去使用像 ``err1:`` 和 ``err2:``
这样的GW_BASIC 名称，因为一旦你添加或删除了 (函数的) 退出路径，你就必须对它们
重新编号，这样会难以去检验正确性。
理由是： 使用 goto 的理由是：
- 无条件语句容易理解和跟踪 - 无条件语句容易理解和跟踪
- 嵌套程度减小 - 嵌套程度减小
- 可以避免由于修改时忘记更新某个单独的退出点而导致的错误 - 可以避免由于修改时忘记更新个别的退出点而导致错误

------------------------------
只要可能，就不要在 .c 文件里面使用预处理条件；这样做让代码更难阅读并且逻辑难以 只要可能，就不要在 .c 文件里面使用预处理条件 (#if, #ifdef)；这样做让代码更难

的结果，但逻辑将更加清晰。 任何代码，产生的结果是相同的，但逻辑将更加清晰。
宁可编译整个函数，而不是部分函数或部分表达式。而不是在一个表达式添加 ifdef， 最好倾向于编译整个函数，而不是函数的一部分或表达式的一部分。与其放一个 ifdef
解析部分或全部表达式到一个单独的辅助函数，并应用条件到该函数内。 在表达式内，不如分解出部分或全部表达式，放进一个单独的辅助函数，并应用预处理
条件到这个辅助函数内。
