* UIO: add PRUSS UIO driver supportPratheesh Gangadhar2011-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements PRUSS (Programmable Real-time Unit Sub System) UIO driver which exports SOC resources associated with PRUSS like I/O, memories and IRQs to user space. PRUSS is dual 32-bit RISC processors which is efficient in performing embedded tasks that require manipulation of packed memory mapped data structures and handling system events that have tight real time constraints. This driver is currently supported on Texas Instruments DA850, AM18xx and OMAP-L138 devices. For example, PRUSS runs firmware for real-time critical industrial communication data link layer and communicates with application stack running in user space via shared memory and IRQs.

* UIO: Remove SMX Cryptengine driverHans J. Koch2010-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | Ben Nizette, the author of this driver, told me in a private mail that this project has been cancelled. He suggested to remove the driver for now, and will come back with a new version should the hardware really exist. This patch completely removes the driver. Signed-off-by: Hans J.

* UIO: Add a driver for Hilscher netX-based fieldbus cardsHans J. Koch2010-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a Userspace IO driver for netX-based fieldbus cards by Hilscher (see http://www.hilscher.com). ATM, cifX and comX cards are supported. The userspace part for this driver is provided by Hilscher and should come with the card. The driver is in use for several months now and has been tested by people at Hilscher and Linutronix.

* uio: add generic driver for PCI 2.3 devicesMichael S. Tsirkin2009-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a generic uio driver that can bind to any PCI device. First user will be virtualization where a qemu userspace process needs to give guest OS access to the device. Interrupts are handled using the Interrupt Disable bit in the PCI command register and Interrupt Status bit in the PCI status register. All devices compliant to PCI 2.3 (circa 2002) and all compliant PCI Express devices should support these bits. Driver detects this support, and won't bind to devices which do not support the Interrupt Disable Bit in the command register. It's expected that more features of interest to virtualization will be added to this driver in the future. Possibilities are: mmap for device resources, MSI/MSI-X, eventfd (to interface with kvm), iommu. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

* uio: add the uio_aec driverBrandon Philips2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UIO driver for the Adrienne Electronics Corporation PCI time code device. This device differs from other UIO devices since it uses I/O ports instead of memory mapped I/O. In order to make it possible for UIO to work with this device a utility, uioport, can be used to read and write the ports. uioport is designed to be a setuid program and checks the permissions of the /dev/uio* node and if the user has write permissions it will use iopl and out*/in* to access the device.

* UIO: add automata sercos3 pci card supportJohn Ogness2008-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here is a new version of the patch to support the Automata Sercos III PCI card driver. I now check that the IRQ is enabled before accepting the interrupt. I still use a logical OR to store the enabled interrupts and I've added a second use of a logical OR when restoring the enabled interrupts. I added an explanation of why I do this in comments at the top of the source file. Since I use a logical OR, I also removed the extra checks if the Interrupt Enable Register and ier0_cache are 0.

* UIO: generic irq handling for some uio platform devicesMagnus Damm2008-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is V3 of uio_pdrv_genirq.c, a platform driver for UIO with generic IRQ handling code. This driver is very similar to the regular UIO platform driver, but is only suitable for devices that are connected to the interrupt controller using unique interrupt lines. The uio_pdrv_genirq driver includes generic interrupt handling code which disables the serviced interrupt in the interrupt controller and makes the user space driver responsible for acknowledging the interrupt in the device and reenabling the interrupt in the interrupt controller. Shared interrupts are not supported since the in-kernel interrupt handler will disable the interrupt line in the interrupt controller, and in a shared interrupt configuration this will stop other devices from delivering interrupts.

* UIO: add generic UIO platform driverUwe Kleine-König2008-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Implement a UIO interface for the SMX CryptengineBen Nizette2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Hilscher CIF card driverHans-Jürgen Koch2007-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Koch2007-07-18
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.
