181. Introduction
19
20cpufreq-stats is a driver that provices CPU frequency statistics for each CPU.
21This statistics is provided in /sysfs as a bunch of read_only interfaces. This
22interface (when configured) will appear in a seperate directory under cpufreq
23in /sysfs (<sysfs root>/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/stats/) for each CPU.
24Various statistics will form read_only files under this directory.
25
26This driver is designed to be independent of any particular cpufreq_driver
27that may be running on your CPU. So, it will work with any cpufreq_driver.
28
29
302. Statistics Provided (with example)
31
32cpufreq stats provides following statistics (explained in detail below).
33- time_in_state
34- total_trans
35- trans_table
36
37All the statistics will be from the time the stats driver has been inserted
38to the time when a read of a particular statistic is done. Obviously, stats
39driver will not have any information about the the frequcny transitions before
40the stats driver insertion.

52- time_in_state
53This gives the amount of time spent in each of the frequencies supported by
54this CPU. The cat output will have "<frequency> <time>" pair in each line, which
55will mean this CPU spent <time> usertime units of time at <frequency>. Output
56will have one line for each of the supported freuencies. usertime units here
57is 10mS (similar to other time exported in /proc).

69- total_trans
70This gives the total number of frequency transitions on this CPU. The cat
71output will have a single count which is the total number of frequency
72transitions.

80This will give a fine grained information about all the CPU frequency
81transitions. The cat output here is a two dimensional matrix, where an entry
82<i,j> (row i, column j) represents the count of number of transitions from
83Freq_i to Freq_j. Freq_i is in descending order with increasing rows and
84Freq_j is in descending order with increasing columns. The output here also
85contains the actual freq values for each row and column for better readability.

102Config Main Menu
103 Power management options (ACPI, APM) --->
104 CPU Frequency scaling --->
105 [*] CPU Frequency scaling
106 <*> CPU frequency translation statistics
107 [*] CPU frequency translation statistics details
108
109
110"CPU Frequency scaling" (CONFIG_CPU_FREQ) should be enabled to configure
111cpufreq-stats.
112
113"CPU frequency translation statistics" (CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT) provides the
114basic statistics which includes time_in_state and total_trans.
115
116"CPU frequency translation statistics details" (CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS)
117provides fine grained cpufreq stats by trans_table. The reason for having a
118seperate config option for trans_table is:
119- trans_table goes against the traditional /sysfs rule of one value per
120 interface. It provides a whole bunch of value in a 2 dimensional matrix
121 form.
122
123Once these two options are enabled and your CPU supports cpufrequency, you
124will be able to see the CPU frequency statistics in /sysfs.

1This README escorted the skystar2-driver rewriting procedure. It describes the
2state of the new flexcop-driver set and some internals are written down here
3too.
4
5This document hopefully describes things about the flexcop and its
6device-offsprings. Goal was to write an easy-to-write and easy-to-read set of
7drivers based on the skystar2.c and other information.
8
9Remark: flexcop-pci.c was a copy of skystar2.c, but every line has been
10touched and rewritten.

12History & News
13==============
14 2005-04-01 - correct USB ISOC transfers (thanks to Vadim Catana)
15
16
17
18
19General coding processing
20=========================
21
22We should proceed as follows (as long as no one complains):
23
240) Think before start writing code!
25
261) rewriting the skystar2.c with the help of the flexcop register descriptions
27and splitting up the files to a pci-bus-part and a flexcop-part.
28The new driver will be called b2c2-flexcop-pci.ko/b2c2-flexcop-usb.ko for the
29device-specific part and b2c2-flexcop.ko for the common flexcop-functions.
30
312) Search for errors in the leftover of flexcop-pci.c (compare with pluto2.c
32and other pci drivers)
33
343) make some beautification (see 'Improvements when rewriting (refactoring) is
35done')
36
374) Testing the new driver and maybe substitute the skystar2.c with it, to reach
38a wider tester audience.
39
405) creating an usb-bus-part using the already written flexcop code for the pci
41card.
42
43Idea: create a kernel-object for the flexcop and export all important
44functions. This option saves kernel-memory, but maybe a lot of functions have
45to be exported to kernel namespace.
46
47
48Current situation
49=================
50
510) Done :)
521) Done (some minor issues left)
532) Done
543) Not ready yet, more information is necessary
554) next to be done (see the table below)
565) USB driver is working (yes, there are some minor issues)
57
58What seems to be ready?
59-----------------------
60
611) Rewriting
621a) i2c is cut off from the flexcop-pci.c and seems to work
631b) moved tuner and demod stuff from flexcop-pci.c to flexcop-tuner-fe.c
641c) moved lnb and diseqc stuff from flexcop-pci.c to flexcop-tuner-fe.c
651e) eeprom (reading MAC address)
661d) sram (no dynamic sll size detection (commented out) (using default as JJ told me))
671f) misc. register accesses for reading parameters (e.g. resetting, revision)
681g) pid/mac filter (flexcop-hw-filter.c)
691i) dvb-stuff initialization in flexcop.c (done)
701h) dma stuff (now just using the size-irq, instead of all-together, to be done)
711j) remove flexcop initialization from flexcop-pci.c completely (done)
721l) use a well working dma IRQ method (done, see 'Known bugs and problems and TODO')
731k) cleanup flexcop-files (remove unused EXPORT_SYMBOLs, make static from
74non-static where possible, moved code to proper places)
75
762) Search for errors in the leftover of flexcop-pci.c (partially done)
775a) add MAC address reading
785c) feeding of ISOC data to the software demux (format of the isochronous data
79and speed optimization, no real error) (thanks to Vadim Catana)
80
81What to do in the near future?
82--------------------------------------
83(no special order here)
84
855) USB driver
865b) optimize isoc-transfer (submitting/killing isoc URBs when transfer is starting)
87

118Known bugs and problems and TODO
119--------------------------------
120
1211g/h/l) when pid filtering is enabled on the pci card
122
123DMA usage currently:
124 The DMA is splitted in 2 equal-sized subbuffers. The Flexcop writes to first
125 address and triggers an IRQ when it's full and starts writing to the second
126 address. When the second address is full, the IRQ is triggered again, and
127 the flexcop writes to first address again, and so on.
128 The buffersize of each address is currently 640*188 bytes.
129
130 Problem is, when using hw-pid-filtering and doing some low-bandwidth
131 operation (like scanning) the buffers won't be filled enough to trigger
132 the IRQ. That's why:
133
134 When PID filtering is activated, the timer IRQ is used. Every 1.97 ms the IRQ
135 is triggered. Is the current write address of DMA1 different to the one
136 during the last IRQ, then the data is passed to the demuxer.
137
138 There is an additional DMA-IRQ-method: packet count IRQ. This isn't
139 implemented correctly yet.
140
141 The solution is to disable HW PID filtering, but I don't know how the DVB
142 API software demux behaves on slow systems with 45MBit/s TS.
143
144Solved bugs :)
145--------------
1461g) pid-filtering (somehow pid index 4 and 5 (EMM_PID and ECM_PID) aren't
147working)
148SOLUTION: also index 0 was affected, because net_translation is done for
149these indexes by default
150
1515b) isochronous transfer does only work in the first attempt (for the Sky2PC
152USB, Air2PC is working) SOLUTION: the flexcop was going asleep and never really
153woke up again (don't know if this need fixes, see
154flexcop-fe-tuner.c:flexcop_sleep)
155
156NEWS: when the driver is loaded and unloaded and loaded again (w/o doing
157anything in the while the driver is loaded the first time), no transfers take
158place anymore.
159
160Improvements when rewriting (refactoring) is done
161=================================================
162
163- split sleeping of the flexcop (misc_204.ACPI3_sig = 1;) from lnb_control
164 (enable sleeping for other demods than dvb-s)
165- add support for CableStar (stv0297 Microtune 203x/ALPS) (almost done, incompatibilities with the Nexus-CA)
166
167Debugging
168---------
169- add verbose debugging to skystar2.c (dump the reg_dw_data) and compare it
170 with this flexcop, this is important, because i2c is now using the
171 flexcop_ibi_value union from flexcop-reg.h (do you have a better idea for
172 that, please tell us so).
173
174Everything which is identical in the following table, can be put into a common
175flexcop-module.
176
177 PCI USB
178-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
179Different:
180Register access: accessing IO memory USB control message
181I2C bus: I2C bus of the FC USB control message
182Data transfer: DMA isochronous transfer
183EEPROM transfer: through i2c bus not clear yet
184
185Identical:
186Streaming: accessing registers
187PID Filtering: accessing registers
188Sram destinations: accessing registers
189Tuner/Demod: I2C bus
190DVB-stuff: can be written for common use

1* For the user
2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3NOTE: This document describes the usage of the high level CI API as
4in accordance to the Linux DVB API. This is a not a documentation for the,
5existing low level CI API.
6~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7
8To utilize the High Level CI capabilities,
9
10(1*) This point is valid only for the Twinhan/clones
11 For the Twinhan/Twinhan clones, the dst_ca module handles the CI
12 hardware handling.This module is loaded automatically if a CI
13 (Common Interface, that holds the CAM (Conditional Access Module)
14 is detected.
15
16(2) one requires a userspace application, ca_zap. This small userland
17 application is in charge of sending the descrambling related information
18 to the CAM.
19
20This application requires the following to function properly as of now.
21
22 (a) Tune to a valid channel, with szap.
23 eg: $ szap -c channels.conf -r "TMC" -x
24
25 (b) a channels.conf containing a valid PMT PID
26
27 eg: TMC:11996:h:0:27500:278:512:650:321
28
29 here 278 is a valid PMT PID. the rest of the values are the
30 same ones that szap uses.
31
32 (c) after running a szap, you have to run ca_zap, for the
33 descrambler to function,
34
35 eg: $ ca_zap patched_channels.conf "TMC"
36
37 The patched means a patch to apply to scan, such that scan can
38 generate a channels.conf_with pmt, which has this PMT PID info
39 (NOTE: szap cannot use this channels.conf with the PMT_PID)
40
41
42 (d) Hopeflly Enjoy your favourite subscribed channel as you do with
43 a FTA card.
44
45(3) Currently ca_zap, and dst_test, both are meant for demonstration
46 purposes only, they can become full fledged applications if necessary.
47
48
49* Cards that fall in this category
50~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
51At present the cards that fall in this category are the Twinhan and it's
52clones, these cards are available as VVMER, Tomato, Hercules, Orange and
53so on.
54
55* CI modules that are supported
56~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
57The CI module support is largely dependant upon the firmware on the cards
58Some cards do support almost all of the available CI modules. There is
59nothing much that can be done in order to make additional CI modules
60working with these cards.
61
62Modules that have been tested by this driver at present are
63
64(1) Irdeto 1 and 2 from SCM
65(2) Viaccess from SCM
66(3) Dragoncam
67
68* The High level CI API
69~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
70
71* For the programmer
72~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
73With the High Level CI approach any new card with almost any random
74architecture can be implemented with this style, the definitions
75insidethe switch statement can be easily adapted for any card, thereby
76eliminating the need for any additional ioctls.
77
78The disadvantage is that the driver/hardware has to manage the rest. For
79the application programmer it would be as simple as sending/receiving an
80array to/from the CI ioctls as defined in the Linux DVB API. No changes
81have been made in the API to accomodate this feature.
82
83
84* Why the need for another CI interface ?
85~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
86This is one of the most commonly asked question. Well a nice question.
87Strictly speaking this is not a new interface.
88
89The CI interface is defined in the DVB API in ca.h as
90
91typedef struct ca_slot_info {
92 int num; /* slot number */
93
94 int type; /* CA interface this slot supports */
95#define CA_CI 1 /* CI high level interface */
96#define CA_CI_LINK 2 /* CI link layer level interface */
97#define CA_CI_PHYS 4 /* CI physical layer level interface */
98#define CA_DESCR 8 /* built-in descrambler */
99#define CA_SC 128 /* simple smart card interface */
100
101 unsigned int flags;
102#define CA_CI_MODULE_PRESENT 1 /* module (or card) inserted */
103#define CA_CI_MODULE_READY 2
104} ca_slot_info_t;
105
106
107
108This CI interface follows the CI high level interface, which is not
109implemented by most applications. Hence this area is revisited.
110
111This CI interface is quite different in the case that it tries to
112accomodate all other CI based devices, that fall into the other categories
113
114This means that this CI interface handles the EN50221 style tags in the
115Application layer only and no session management is taken care of by the
116application. The driver/hardware will take care of all that.
117
118This interface is purely an EN50221 interface exchanging APDU's. This
119means that no session management, link layer or a transport layer do
120exist in this case in the application to driver communication. It is
121as simple as that. The driver/hardware has to take care of that.
122
123
124With this High Level CI interface, the interface can be defined with the
125regular ioctls.
126
127All these ioctls are also valid for the High level CI interface
128
129#define CA_RESET _IO('o', 128)
130#define CA_GET_CAP _IOR('o', 129, ca_caps_t)
131#define CA_GET_SLOT_INFO _IOR('o', 130, ca_slot_info_t)
132#define CA_GET_DESCR_INFO _IOR('o', 131, ca_descr_info_t)
133#define CA_GET_MSG _IOR('o', 132, ca_msg_t)
134#define CA_SEND_MSG _IOW('o', 133, ca_msg_t)
135#define CA_SET_DESCR _IOW('o', 134, ca_descr_t)
136#define CA_SET_PID _IOW('o', 135, ca_pid_t)

167
168
169Not all ioctl's are implemented in the driver from the API, the other
170features of the hardware that cannot be implemented by the API are achieved
171using the CA_GET_MSG and CA_SEND_MSG ioctls. An EN50221 style wrapper is
172used to exchange the data to maintain compatibility with other hardware.

210Driver Detach Power Management
211
212The kernel now supports the ability to place a device in a low-power
213state when it is detached from its driver, which happens when its
214module is removed.
215
216Each device contains a 'detach_state' file in its sysfs directory
217which can be used to control this state. Reading from this file
218displays what the current detach state is set to. This is 0 (On) by
219default. A user may write a positive integer value to this file in the
220range of 1-4 inclusive.
221
222A value of 1-3 will indicate the device should be placed in that
223low-power state, which will cause ->suspend() to be called for that
224device. A value of 4 indicates that the device should be shutdown, so
225->shutdown() will be called for that device.
226
227The driver is responsible for reinitializing the device when the
228module is re-inserted during it's ->probe() (or equivalent) method.
229The driver core will not call any extra functions when binding the
230device to the driver.
