* include: replace linux/module.h with "struct module" wherever possiblePaul Gortmaker2011-10-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The <linux/module.h> pretty much brings in the kitchen sink along with it, so it should be avoided wherever reasonably possible in terms of being included from other commonly used <linux/something.h> files, as it results in a measureable increase on compile times. The worst culprit was probably device.h since it is used everywhere. This file also had an implicit dependency/usage of mutex.h which was masked by module.h, and is also fixed here at the same time. There are over a dozen other headers that simply declare the struct instead of pulling in the whole file, so follow their lead and simply make it a few more. Most of the implicit dependencies on module.h being present by these headers pulling it in have been now weeded out, so we can finally make this change with hopefully minimal breakage.

* include: convert various register fcns to macros to avoid include chainingPaul Gortmaker2011-10-311-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original implementations reference THIS_MODULE in an inline. We could include <linux/export.h>, but it is better to avoid chaining. Fortunately someone else already thought of this, and made a similar inline into a #define in <linux/device.h> for device_schedule_callback(), [see commit 523ded71de0] so follow that precedent here. Also bubble up any __must_check that were used on the prev. wrapper inline functions up one to the real __register functions, to preserve any prev. sanity checks that were used in those instances.

* uio: Support physical addresses >32 bits on 32-bit systemsKai Jiang2011-10-181-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To support >32-bit physical addresses for UIO_MEM_PHYS type we need to extend the width of 'addr' in struct uio_mem. Numerous platforms like embedded PPC, ARM, and X86 have support for systems with larger physical address than logical. Since 'addr' may contain a physical, logical, or virtual address the easiest solution is to just change the type to 'phys_addr_t' which should always be greater than or equal to the sizeof(void *) such that it can properly hold any of the address types. For physical address we can support up to a 44-bit physical address on a typical 32-bit system as we utilize remap_pfn_range() for the mapping of the memory region and pfn's are represnted by shifting the address by the page size (typically 4k).

* uio: Cleanup irq handling.Eric W. Biederman2010-10-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the value of UIO_IRQ_NONE -2 to 0. 0 is well defined in the rest of the kernel as the value to indicate an irq has not been assigned. Update the calls to request_irq and free_irq to only ignore UIO_IRQ_NONE and UIO_IRQ_CUSTOM allowing the rest of the kernel's possible irq numbers to be used. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* UIO: Add name attributes for mappings and port regionsHans J. Koch2009-03-241-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a UIO device has several memory mappings, it can be difficult for userspace to find the right one. The situation becomes even worse if the UIO driver can handle different versions of a card that have different numbers of mappings. Benedikt Spranger has such cards and pointed this out to me. Thanks, Bene! To address this problem, this patch adds "name" sysfs attributes for each mapping. Userspace can use these to clearly identify each mapping. The name string is optional. If a driver doesn't set it, an empty string will be returned, so this patch won't break existing drivers. The same problem exists for port region information, so a "name" attribute is added there, too. Signed-off-by: Hans J. Koch <hjk@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* uio: make uio_info's name and version constStephen Rothwell2009-01-061-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | These are only ever assigned constant strings and never modified. This was noticed because Wolfram Sang needed to cast the result of of_get_property() in order to assign it to the name field of a struct uio_info.

* UIO: Pass information about ioports to userspace (V2)Hans J. Koch2009-01-061-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Devices sometimes have memory where all or parts of it can not be mapped to userspace. But it might still be possible to access this memory from userspace by other means. An example are PCI cards that advertise not only mappable memory but also ioport ranges. On x86 architectures, these can be accessed with ioperm, iopl, inb, outb, and friends. Mike Frysinger (CCed) reported a similar problem on Blackfin arch where it doesn't seem to be easy to mmap non-cached memory but it can still be accessed from userspace. This patch allows kernel drivers to pass information about such ports to userspace. Similar to the existing mem[] array, it adds a port[] array to struct uio_info. Each port range is described by start, size, and porttype. If a driver fills in at least one such port range, the UIO core will simply pass this information to userspace by creating a new directory "portio" underneath /sys/class/uio/uioN/. Similar to the "mem" directory, it will contain a subdirectory (portX) for each port range given. Note that UIO simply passes this information to userspace, it performs no action whatsoever with this data. It's userspace's responsibility to obtain access to these ports and to solve arch dependent issues. The "porttype" attribute tells userspace what kind of port it is dealing with. This mechanism could also be used to give userspace information about GPIOs related to a device. You frequently find such hardware in embedded devices, so I added a UIO_PORT_GPIO definition. I'm not really sure if this is a good idea since there are other solutions to this problem, but it won't hurt much anyway. Signed-off-by: Hans J.

* UIO: Add write function to allow irq maskingHans J. Koch2008-07-211-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes it is necessary to enable/disable the interrupt of a UIO device from the userspace part of the driver. With this patch, the UIO kernel driver can implement an "irqcontrol()" function that does this. Userspace can write an s32 value to /dev/uioX (usually 0 or 1 to turn the irq off or on). The UIO core will then call the driver's irqcontrol function. Signed-off-by: Hans J.

* UIO: Add the User IO core codeHans J. Koch2007-07-181-0/+91
This interface allows the ability to write the majority of a driver in userspace with only a very small shell of a driver in the kernel itself. It uses a char device and sysfs to interact with a userspace process to process interrupts and control memory accesses. See the docbook documentation for more details on how to use this interface.
