The traditional approach used in IIO to implement buffered capture requires the generation of at least one interrupt per sample. In the interrupt handler the driver reads the sample from the device and copies it to a software buffer. This approach has a rather large per sample overhead associated with it. And while it works fine for samplerates in the range of up to 1000 samples per second it starts to consume a rather large share of the available CPU processing time once we go beyond that, this is especially true on an embedded system with limited processing power. The regular interrupt also causes increased power consumption by not allowing the hardware into deeper sleep states, which is something that becomes more and more important on mobile battery powered devices. And while the recently added watermark support mitigates some of the issues by allowing the device to generate interrupts at a rate lower than the data output rate, this still requires a storage buffer inside the device and even if it exists it is only a few 100 samples deep at most. DMA support on the other hand allows to capture multiple millions or even more samples without any CPU interaction. This allows the CPU to either go to sleep for longer periods or focus on other tasks which increases overall system performance and power consumption. In addition to that some devices might not even offer a way to read the data other than using DMA, which makes DMA mandatory to use for them. The tasks involved in implementing a DMA buffer can be divided into two categories. The first category is memory buffer management (allocation, mapping, etc.) and hooking this up the IIO buffer callbacks like read(), enable(), disable(), etc. The second category of tasks is to setup the DMA hardware and manage the DMA transfers. Tasks from the first category will be very similar for all IIO drivers supporting DMA buffers, while the tasks from the second category will be hardware specific. This patch implements a generic infrastructure that take care of the former tasks. It provides a set of functions that implement the standard IIO buffer iio_buffer_access_funcs callbacks. These can either be used as is or be overloaded and augmented with driver specific code where necessary. For the DMA buffer support infrastructure that is introduced in this series sample data is grouped by so called blocks. A block is the basic unit at which data is exchanged between the application and the hardware. The application is responsible for allocating the memory associated with the block and then passes the block to the hardware. When the hardware has captured the amount of samples equal to size of a block it will notify the application, which can then read the data from the block and process it. The block size can freely chosen (within the constraints of the hardware). This allows to make a trade-off between latency and management overhead. The larger the block size the lower the per sample overhead but the latency between when the data was captured and when the application will be able to access it increases, in a similar way smaller block sizes have a larger per sample management overhead but a lower latency. The ideal block size thus depends on system and application requirements. For the time being the infrastructure only implements a simple double buffered scheme which allocates two blocks each with half the size of the configured buffer size. This provides basic support for capturing continuous uninterrupted data over the existing file-IO ABI. Future extensions to the DMA buffer infrastructure will give applications a more fine grained control over how many blocks are allocated and the size of each block. But this requires userspace ABI additions which are intentionally not part of this patch and will be added separately. Tasks of the second category need to be implemented by a device specific driver. They can be hooked up into the generic infrastructure using two simple callbacks, submit() and abort(). The submit() callback is used to schedule DMA transfers for blocks. Once a DMA transfer has been completed it is expected that the buffer driver calls iio_dma_buffer_block_done() to notify. The abort() callback is used for stopping all pending and active DMA transfers when the buffer is disabled.

This patch adds a enable and disable callback that is called when the buffer is enabled/disabled. This can be used by buffer implementations that need to do some setup or teardown work. E.g. a DMA based buffer can use this to start/stop the DMA transfer. Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@kernel.org>

Only initialize the watermark field if it is still 0. This allows drivers to provide a custom default watermark value. E.g. some driver might have a fixed watermark or can only support watermarks within a certain range and the initial value for the watermark should be within this range.

Currently the watermark of the device is only set based on the watermark that is set for the user space buffer. This doesn't consider the watermarks set on any attached in-kernel buffers. Change this so that the watermark of the device should be the minimum of the watermarks over all attached buffers.

The Microchip Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) Device Tree binding documents compatible strings with no vendor prefix. Since it should compatible strings with also a vendor, add these to the binding doc and mark the old ones as deprecated. The driver says that the device is from Microchip Technology which is listed in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.txt so use the documented prefix.

This change is important in order for everyone to be easily able to use the driver for one of the supported accelerometer chips! Until now, the driver blindly assumed that the INT1 interrupt line is wired on a user's board. But these devices have 2 interrupt lines and can route their interrupt sources to one of them. Now, if "INT2" is found and matches i2c_client->irq, INT2 will be used. The chip's default actually is INT2, which is why probably many boards will have it wired and can make use of this. Of course, this also falls back to assuming INT1, so for existing users nothing will break. The new functionality is described in the bindings doc.

When the same portal is used to call mc_send_command() from two different threads or a thread and an interrupt handler, serialization is required, as the MC only supports one outstanding command per MC portal.

Refactored mc_send_command() to support two flavors of polling: - preemptible (for non-atomic portals), which was already supported. It calls usleep_range() between polling iterations. - non-preemptible (for atomic portals), which is needed when mc_send_command() is called with interrupts disabled. It calls udelay() between polling iterations. Signed-off-by: J. German Rivera <German.Rivera@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Before, we were opening and closing a mc_io's dpmcp object in fsl_mc_portal_reset(), since that was the only function that was calling dpmcp MC operations. However, it is better for maintainability to open the dpmcp object when it gets associated with an mc_io object, and close it when this association is terminated. This way, we are free to call dpmcp operations on a mc_io's dpmcp object at any time, without having to check if the dpmcp object is opened or not. Consequently, the creation/teardown of the association between an mc_io object and a dpmcp is now encapsulated in two functions: fsl_mc_io_set_dpmcp()/fsl_mc_io_unset_dpmcp(). Besides, setting the corresponding pointers for the association, these functions open and close the dpmcp object respectively. Signed-off-by: J.

Each fsl_mc_io object is associated with an fsl_mc_device object of type "dpmcp" representing the MC portal associated with the fsl_mc_io object. Before, we were representing this association with an fsl_mc_resource pointer. To enhance code clarity, it is more straight forward to use an fsl_mc_device pointer instead. So, this change replaces the 'resource' field in the fsl_mc_io object with 'dpmcp_dev'. Also, it changes parameter 'resource' of fsl_create_mc_io() to be an fsl_mc_device pointer instead.
