It +enables easy writing of HCI-based NFC drivers. The HCI layer runs as an NFC Core +backend, implementing an abstract nfc device and translating NFC Core API +to HCI commands and events. + +HCI +--- + +HCI registers as an nfc device with NFC Core. Requests coming from userspace are +routed through netlink sockets to NFC Core and then to HCI. From this point, +they are translated in a sequence of HCI commands sent to the HCI layer in the +host controller (the chip). The sending context blocks while waiting for the +response to arrive. +HCI events can also be received from the host controller. They will be handled +and a translation will be forwarded to NFC Core as needed. +HCI uses 2 execution contexts: +- one if for executing commands : nfc_hci_msg_tx_work(). Only one command +can be executing at any given moment. +- one if for dispatching received events and responses : nfc_hci_msg_rx_work() + +HCI Session initialization: +--------------------------- + +The Session initialization is an HCI standard which must unfortunately +support proprietary gates. This is the reason why the driver will pass a list +of proprietary gates that must be part of the session. HCI will ensure all +those gates have pipes connected when the hci device is set up. + +HCI Gates and Pipes +------------------- + +A gate defines the 'port' where some service can be found. In order to access +a service, one must create a pipe to that gate and open it. In this +implementation, pipes are totally hidden. The public API only knows gates. +This is consistent with the driver need to send commands to proprietary gates +without knowing the pipe connected to it. + +Driver interface +---------------- + +A driver would normally register itself with HCI and provide the following +entry points: + +struct nfc_hci_ops { + int (*open)(struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev); + void (*close)(struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev); + int (*xmit)(struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, struct sk_buff *skb); + int (*start_poll)(struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, u32 protocols); + int (*target_from_gate)(struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, u8 gate, + struct nfc_target *target); +}; + +open() and close() shall turn the hardware on and off. xmit() shall simply +write a frame to the chip. start_poll() is an optional entrypoint that shall +set the hardware in polling mode. This must be implemented only if the hardware +uses proprietary gates or a mechanism slightly different from the HCI standard. +target_from_gate() is another optional entrypoint to return the protocols +corresponding to a proprietary gate. + +On the rx path, the driver is responsible to push incoming HCP frames to HCI +using nfc_hci_recv_frame(). HCI will take care of re-aggregation and handling +This must be done from a context that can sleep. + +SHDLC +----- + +Most chips use shdlc to ensure integrity and delivery ordering of the HCP +frames between the host controller (the chip) and hosts (entities connected +to the chip, like the cpu). In order to simplify writing the driver, an shdlc +layer is available for use by the driver. +When used, the driver actually registers with shdlc, and shdlc will register +with HCI. HCI sees shdlc as the driver and thus send its HCP frames +through shdlc->xmit. +SHDLC adds a new execution context (nfc_shdlc_sm_work()) to run its state +machine and handle both its rx and tx path. + +Included Drivers +---------------- + +An HCI based driver for an NXP PN544, connected through I2C bus, and using +shdlc is included. + +Execution Contexts +------------------ + +The execution contexts are the following: +- IRQ handler (IRQH): +fast, cannot sleep. stores incoming frames into an shdlc rx queue + +- SHDLC State Machine worker (SMW) +handles shdlc rx & tx queues. Dispatches HCI cmd responses. + +- HCI Tx Cmd worker (MSGTXWQ) +Serialize execution of HCI commands.

Most of the time, this +will be the syscall context. skb will return the result that was received in +the response. + +Internally, execution is asynchronous. So all this API does is to enqueue the +HCI command, setup a local wait queue on stack, and wait_event() for completion. +The wait is not interruptible because it is guaranteed that the command will +complete after some short timeout anyway. + +MSGTXWQ context will then be scheduled and invoke nfc_hci_msg_tx_work(). +This function will dequeue the next pending command and send its HCP fragments +to the lower layer which happens to be shdlc. It will then start a timer to be +able to complete the command with a timeout error if no response arrive. + +SMW context gets scheduled and invokes nfc_shdlc_sm_work(). This function +handles shdlc framing in and out. It uses the driver xmit to send frames and +receives incoming frames in an skb queue filled from the driver IRQ handler. +SHDLC I(nformation) frames payload are HCP fragments. They are agregated to +form complete HCI frames, which can be a response, command, or event. + +HCI Responses are dispatched immediately from this context to unblock +waiting command execution. Reponse processing involves invoking the completion +callback that was provided by nfc_hci_msg_tx_work() when it sent the command. +The completion callback will then wake the syscall context. + +Workflow receiving an HCI event or command +------------------------------------------ + +HCI commands or events are not dispatched from SMW context. Instead, they are +queued to HCI rx_queue and will be dispatched from HCI rx worker +context (MSGRXWQ). This is done this way to allow a cmd or event handler +to also execute other commands (for example, handling the +NFC_HCI_EVT_TARGET_DISCOVERED event from PN544 requires to issue an +ANY_GET_PARAMETER to the reader A gate to get information on the target +that was discovered). + +Typically, such an event will be propagated to NFC Core from MSGRXWQ context. diff --git a/Documentation/sparc/README-2.5 b/Documentation/sparc/README-2.5 deleted file mode 100644 index 806fe490a56d..000000000000 --- a/Documentation/sparc/README-2.5 +++ /dev/null @@ -1,46 +0,0 @@ -BTFIXUP -------- - -To build new kernels you have to issue "make image". The ready kernel -in ELF format is placed in arch/sparc/boot/image. Explanation is below. - -BTFIXUP is a unique feature of Linux/sparc among other architectures, -developed by Jakub Jelinek (I think... Obviously David S. Miller took -part, too). It allows to boot the same kernel at different -sub-architectures, such as sun4c, sun4m, sun4d, where SunOS uses -different kernels. This feature is convinient for people who you move -disks between boxes and for distrution builders. - -To function, BTFIXUP must link the kernel "in the draft" first, -analyze the result, write a special stub code based on that, and -build the final kernel with the stub (btfix.o). - -Kai Germaschewski improved the build system of the kernel in the 2.5 series -significantly. Unfortunately, the traditional way of running the draft -linking from architecture specific Makefile before the actual linking -by generic Makefile is nearly impossible to support properly in the -new build system. Therefore, the way we integrate BTFIXUP with the -build system was changed in 2.5.40. Now, generic Makefile performs -the draft linking and stores the result in file vmlinux. Architecture -specific post-processing invokes BTFIXUP machinery and final linking -in the same way as other architectures do bootstraps. - -Implications of that change are as follows. - -1. Hackers must type "make image" now, instead of just "make", in the same - way as s390 people do now. It is analogous to "make bzImage" on i386. - This does NOT affect sparc64, you continue to use "make" to build sparc64 - kernels. - -2. vmlinux is not the final kernel, so RPM builders have to adjust - their spec files (if they delivered vmlinux for debugging). - System.map generated for vmlinux is still valid. - -3. Scripts that produce a.out images have to be changed. First, if they - invoke make, they have to use "make image". Second, they have to pick up - the new kernel in arch/sparc/boot/image instead of vmlinux. - -4.
