* UIO: add generic UIO platform driverUwe Kleine-König2008-07-213-0/+126
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a generic UIO platform driver. It eliminates the need for a dedicated kernel module for simple platform devices. Users only need to implement their irq handler in platform code and fill a struct uio_info there. This helps avoiding code duplication as UIO platform drivers often share a lot of common code.

* UIO: Add write function to allow irq maskingHans J. Koch2008-07-211-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | ae210f188614bb3d1ee3f19c64e28e3cdd44877c introduced a big "if UIO"/"endif" where all uio drivers are defined. So know there is no need for them to depend explicitly on UIO.

| * UIO: fix race in device_createGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-05-201-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all sorts of bad things to happen. This patch fixes the problem by using the new function, device_create_drvdata(). Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Cc: Hans J.

* UIO: Implement a UIO interface for the SMX CryptengineBen Nizette2008-04-193-0/+154
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a UIO interface for the SMX Cryptengine. The Cryptengine found on the Nias Digital SMX board is best suited for a UIO interface. It is not wired in to the cryptographic API as the engine handles it's own keys, algorithms, everything. All that we know about is that if there's room in the buffer, you can write data to it and when there's data ready, you read it out again. There isn't necessarily even any direct correlation between data going in and data coming out again, the engine may consume or generate data all on its own. This driver is for proprietary hardware but we're always told to submit the drivers anyway; here you are. :-) This is version 4 of this patch and addresses all issues raised by Hans-Jürgen Koch and Paul Mundt in their reviews. Slightly altered is Paul's suggestion to use DRV_NAME and DRV_VERSION as the UIO version and name. While at the moment they are the same, there is no reason for them to stay that way. Nevertheless we now at least provide a MODULE_VERSION macro to keep modinfo happy.

* UIO: add pgprot_noncached() to UIO mmap codeJean-Samuel Chenard2008-03-241-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Mapping of physical memory in UIO needs pgprot_noncached() to ensure that IO memory is not cached. Without pgprot_noncached(), it (accidentally) works on x86 and arm, but fails on PPC.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset. We should set this explicitly every time for each kset.

* UIO: Hilscher CIF card driverHans-Jürgen Koch2007-07-183-1/+171
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this is a patch that adds support for Hilscher CIF DeviceNet and Profibus cards. I tested it on a Kontron CPX board, and Thomas reviewed it. You can find the user space part here: http://www.osadl.org/projects/downloads/UIO/user/cif-0.1.0.tar.gz Notes: cif_api.c is the main file you want to look at. It contains the functions to open, close, mmap and so on. cif_dps.c adds functions specific to Profibus cards, and cif_dn.c contains functions for DeviceNet cards. cif.c is a universal playground, it's just a small test program. The user space part of this UIO driver is still work in progress, and not everything is tested yet. At the moment, the thread in cif_api.c contains some code that artificially makes the card generate interrupts, this was added for testing and will be removed later. But the driver already contains all the functions needed for useful operation, so it gives a good idea of how such a thing looks like. For comparison, here's what you get from the manufacturer (www.hilscher.com) when you ask for a Linux 2.6 driver: http://www.tglx.de/private/hjk/cif-orig-2.6.tar.bz2 WARNING: Don't look at the code for too long, you might become sick :-) Signed-off-by: Hans-Jürgen Koch <hjk@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* UIO: Add the User IO core codeHans J. Koch2007-07-183-0/+718
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.
