SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +=============================== +The Linux kernel dpll subsystem +=============================== + +DPLL +==== + +PLL - Phase Locked Loop is an electronic circuit which syntonizes clock +signal of a device with an external clock signal. Effectively enabling +device to run on the same clock signal beat as provided on a PLL input. + +DPLL - Digital Phase Locked Loop is am integrated circuit which in +addition to plain PLL behavior incorporates a digital phase detector +and may have digital divider in the loop. As a result, the frequency on +DPLL's input and output may be configurable. + +Subsystem +========= + +The main purpose of dpll subsystem is to provide general interface +to configure devices that use any kind of Digital PLL and could use +different sources of input signal to synchronize to, as well as +different types of outputs. +The main interface is NETLINK_GENERIC based protocol with an event +monitoring multicast group defined. + +Device object +============= + +Single dpll device object means single Digital PLL circuit and bunch of +connected pins. +It reports the supported modes of operation and current status to the +user in response to the `do` request of netlink command +``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_GET`` and list of dplls registered in the subsystem +with `dump` netlink request of the same command. +Changing the configuration of dpll device is done with `do` request of +netlink ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_SET`` command. +A device handle is ``DPLL_A_ID``, it shall be provided to get or set +configuration of particular device in the system. It can be obtained +with a ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_GET`` `dump` request or +a ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_ID_GET`` `do` request, where the one must provide +attributes that result in single device match. + +Pin object +========== + +A pin is amorphic object which represents either input or output, it +could be internal component of the device, as well as externally +connected. +The number of pins per dpll vary, but usually multiple pins shall be +provided for a single dpll device. +Pin's properties, capabilities and status is provided to the user in +response to `do` request of netlink ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_GET`` command. +It is also possible to list all the pins that were registered in the +system with `dump` request of ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_GET`` command. +Configuration of a pin can be changed by `do` request of netlink +``DPLL_CMD_PIN_SET`` command. +Pin handle is a ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID``, it shall be provided to get or set +configuration of particular pin in the system. It can be obtained with +``DPLL_CMD_PIN_GET`` `dump` request or ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_ID_GET`` `do` +request, where user provides attributes that result in single pin match. + +Pin selection +============= + +In general, selected pin (the one which signal is driving the dpll +device) can be obtained from ``DPLL_A_PIN_STATE`` attribute, and only +one pin shall be in ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_CONNECTED`` state for any dpll +device. + +Pin selection can be done either manually or automatically, depending +on hardware capabilities and active dpll device work mode +(``DPLL_A_MODE`` attribute). The consequence is that there are +differences for each mode in terms of available pin states, as well as +for the states the user can request for a dpll device. + +In manual mode (``DPLL_MODE_MANUAL``) the user can request or receive +one of following pin states: + +- ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_CONNECTED`` - the pin is used to drive dpll device +- ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_DISCONNECTED`` - the pin is not used to drive dpll + device + +In automatic mode (``DPLL_MODE_AUTOMATIC``) the user can request or +receive one of following pin states: + +- ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_SELECTABLE`` - the pin shall be considered as valid + input for automatic selection algorithm +- ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_DISCONNECTED`` - the pin shall be not considered as + a valid input for automatic selection algorithm + +In automatic mode (``DPLL_MODE_AUTOMATIC``) the user can only receive +pin state ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_CONNECTED`` once automatic selection +algorithm locks a dpll device with one of the inputs. + +Shared pins +=========== + +A single pin object can be attached to multiple dpll devices. +Then there are two groups of configuration knobs: + +1) Set on a pin - the configuration affects all dpll devices pin is + registered to (i.e. ``DPLL_A_PIN_FREQUENCY``), +2) Set on a pin-dpll tuple - the configuration affects only selected + dpll device (i.e. ``DPLL_A_PIN_PRIO``, ``DPLL_A_PIN_STATE``, + ``DPLL_A_PIN_DIRECTION``). + +MUX-type pins +============= + +A pin can be MUX-type, it aggregates child pins and serves as a pin +multiplexer. One or more pins are registered with MUX-type instead of +being directly registered to a dpll device. +Pins registered with a MUX-type pin provide user with additional nested +attribute ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT`` for each parent they were registered +with. +If a pin was registered with multiple parent pins, they behave like a +multiple output multiplexer. In this case output of a +``DPLL_CMD_PIN_GET`` would contain multiple pin-parent nested +attributes with current state related to each parent, like:: + + 'pin': [{ + {'clock-id': 282574471561216, + 'module-name': 'ice', + 'pin-dpll-caps': 4, + 'pin-id': 13, + 'pin-parent': [{'pin-id': 2, 'pin-state': 'connected'}, + {'pin-id': 3, 'pin-state': 'disconnected'}], + 'pin-type': 'synce-eth-port'} + }] + +Only one child pin can provide its signal to the parent MUX-type pin at +a time, the selection is done by requesting change of a child pin state +on desired parent, with the use of ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT`` nested +attribute. Example of netlink `set state on parent pin` message format: + + ====================== ============================================= + ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID`` child pin id + ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT`` nested attribute for requesting configuration + related to parent pin + ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID`` parent pin id + ``DPLL_A_PIN_STATE`` requested pin state on parent + ====================== ============================================= + +Pin priority +============ + +Some devices might offer a capability of automatic pin selection mode +(enum value ``DPLL_MODE_AUTOMATIC`` of ``DPLL_A_MODE`` attribute). +Usually, automatic selection is performed on the hardware level, which +means only pins directly connected to the dpll can be used for automatic +input pin selection. +In automatic selection mode, the user cannot manually select a input +pin for the device, instead the user shall provide all directly +connected pins with a priority ``DPLL_A_PIN_PRIO``, the device would +pick a highest priority valid signal and use it to control the DPLL +device. Example of netlink `set priority on parent pin` message format: + + ===================== ============================================= + ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID`` child pin id + ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT`` nested attribute for requesting configuration + related to parent pin + ``DPLL_A_ID`` parent dpll id + ``DPLL_A_PIN_PRIO`` requested pin prio on parent dpll + ===================== ============================================= + +Child pin of MUX-type is not capable of automatic input pin selection, +in order to configure a input of a MUX-type pin, the user needs to +request desired pin state of the child pin on the parent pin, +as described in the ``MUX-type pins`` chapter. + +Configuration commands group +============================ + +Configuration commands are used to get information about registered +dpll devices (and pins), as well as set configuration of device or pins. +As dpll devices must be abstracted and reflect real hardware, +there is no way to add new dpll device via netlink from user space and +each device should be registered by its driver. + +All netlink commands require ``GENL_ADMIN_PERM``. This is to prevent +any spamming/DoS from unauthorized userspace applications. + +List of netlink commands with possible attributes +================================================= + +All constants identifying command types use a ``DPLL_CMD_`` prefix and +suffix according to command purpose.

to target a dpll device, the user provides +``DPLL_A_ID``, which is unique identifier of dpll device in the system, +as well as parameter being configured (``DPLL_A_MODE``). + +``DPLL_CMD_PIN_SET`` - to target a pin user has to provide a +``DPLL_A_PIN_ID``, which is unique identifier of a pin in the system. +Also configured pin parameters must be added. +If ``DPLL_A_PIN_DIRECTION`` or ``DPLL_A_PIN_FREQUENCY`` are configured, +this affects all the dpll device they are connected, that is why those +attributes shall not be enclosed in ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT``. +Other attributes: +``DPLL_A_PIN_PRIO`` or ``DPLL_A_PIN_STATE`` must be enclosed in +``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT`` as their configuration relates to only one +parent dpll or parent pin. +Nested attribute of either ``DPLL_A_ID`` or ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID`` determines +if configuration was requested on a dpll device or on a pin +respectively. +In general, it is possible to configure multiple parameters at once, but +internally each parameter change will be invoked separately, where order +of configuration is not guaranteed by any means. + +Configuration pre-defined enums +=============================== + +.. kernel-doc:: include/uapi/linux/dpll.h + +Notifications +============= + +dpll device can provide notifications regarding status changes of the +device, i.e. lock status changes, input/output changes or other alarms. +There is one multicast group that is used to notify user-space apps via +netlink socket: ``DPLL_MCGRP_MONITOR`` + +Notifications messages: + + ============================== ===================================== + ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_CREATE_NTF`` dpll device was created + ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_DELETE_NTF`` dpll device was deleted + ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_CHANGE_NTF`` dpll device has changed + ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_CREATE_NTF`` dpll pin was created + ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_DELETE_NTF`` dpll pin was deleted + ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_CHANGE_NTF`` dpll pin has changed + ============================== ===================================== + +Events format is the same as for the corresponding get command. +Format of ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_`` events is the same as response of +``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_GET``. +Format of ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_`` events is same as response of +``DPLL_CMD_PIN_GET``. + +Device driver implementation +============================ + +Device is allocated by dpll_device_get() call. Second call with the +same arguments will not create new object but provides pointer to +previously created device for given arguments, it also increases +refcount of that object. +Device is deallocated by dpll_device_put() call, which first +decreases the refcount, once refcount is cleared the object is +destroyed. + +Device should implement set of operations and register device via +dpll_device_register() at which point it becomes available to the +users. Multiple driver instances can obtain reference to it with +dpll_device_get(), as well as register dpll device with their own +ops and priv. + +The pins are allocated separately with dpll_pin_get(), it works +similarly to dpll_device_get(). Function first creates object and then +for each call with the same arguments only the object refcount +increases. Also dpll_pin_put() works similarly to dpll_device_put(). + +A pin can be registered with parent dpll device or parent pin, depending +on hardware needs. Each registration requires registerer to provide set +of pin callbacks, and private data pointer for calling them: + +- dpll_pin_register() - register pin with a dpll device, +- dpll_pin_on_pin_register() - register pin with another MUX type pin. + +Notifications of adding or removing dpll devices are created within +subsystem itself. +Notifications about registering/deregistering pins are also invoked by +the subsystem. +Notifications about status changes either of dpll device or a pin are +invoked in two ways: + +- after successful change was requested on dpll subsystem, the subsystem + calls corresponding notification, +- requested by device driver with dpll_device_change_ntf() or + dpll_pin_change_ntf() when driver informs about the status change. + +The device driver using dpll interface is not required to implement all +the callback operation. Neverthelessi, there are few required to be +implemented. +Required dpll device level callback operations: + +- ``.mode_get``, +- ``.lock_status_get``. + +Required pin level callback operations: + +- ``.state_on_dpll_get`` (pins registered with dpll device), +- ``.state_on_pin_get`` (pins registered with parent pin), +- ``.direction_get``. + +Every other operation handler is checked for existence and +``-EOPNOTSUPP`` is returned in case of absence of specific handler. + +SyncE enablement +================ +For SyncE enablement it is required to allow control over dpll device +for a software application which monitors and configures the inputs of +dpll device in response to current state of a dpll device and its +inputs. +In such scenario, dpll device input signal shall be also configurable +to drive dpll with signal recovered from the PHY netdevice. +This is done by exposing a pin to the netdevice - attaching pin to the +netdevice itself with +``netdev_dpll_pin_set(struct net_device *dev, struct dpll_pin *dpll_pin)``. +Exposed pin id handle ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID`` is then identifiable by the user +as it is attached to rtnetlink respond to get ``RTM_NEWLINK`` command in +nested attribute ``IFLA_DPLL_PIN``. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/index.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/index.rst index 1e16a40da3ba..f549a68951d7 100644 --- a/Documentation/driver-api/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/index.rst @@ -114,6 +114,7 @@ available subsections can be seen below. zorro hte/index wmi + dpll .. only:: subproject and html
