2012-03-10firewire: ohci: move runtime debug facility out of #ifdefStefan Richter
CONFIG_FIREWIRE_OHCI_DEBUG could have been exposed to kernel tweakers if CONFIG_EXPERT was set. But in hindsight, this stuff is far too useful to omit it. So get rid of two #else branches that are only going to bitrot otherwise. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2011-02-26firewire: nosy: should work on Power Mac G4 PCI tooStefan Richter
The first board generation of Power Mac G4 ("Yikes!", those with PCI graphics) still had a PCILynx controller like their G3 predecessors, but not the later AGP models. (Jonathan Woithe recalls to have heard of it, and some web sources reinforce it.) Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2010-12-13firewire: ohci: Asynchronous Reception rewriteClemens Ladisch
Move the AR DMA descriptors out of the buffer pages, and map the buffer pages linearly into the kernel's address space. This allows the driver to ignore any page boundaries in the DMA data and thus to avoid any copying around of packet payloads. This fixes the bug where S800 packets that are so big (> 4080 bytes) that they can be split over three pages were not handled correctly. Due to the changed algorithm, we can now use arbitrarily many buffer pages, which improves performance because the controller can more easily unload its DMA FIFO. Furthermore, using streaming DMA mappings should improve perfomance on architectures where coherent DMA mappings are not cacheable. Even on other architectures, the caching behaviour should be improved slightly because the CPU no longer writes to the buffer pages. v2: Detect the last filled buffer page by searching the descriptor's residual count value fields in order (like in the old code), instead of going backwards through the transfer status fields; it looks as if some controllers do not set the latter correctly. v3: Fix an old resume bug that would now make the handler run into a BUG_ON, and replace that check with more useful error handling. Increase the buffer size for better performance with non-TI chips. Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de> Maxim Levitsky writes: Works almost perfectly. I can still see RCODE_BUSY errors sometimes, not very often though. 64K here eliminates these errors completely. This is most likely due to nouveau drivers and lowest perf level I use to lower card temperature. That increases latencies too much I think. Besides that the IO is just perfect.

2010-10-11ieee1394: remove the old IEEE 1394 driver stackStefan Richter
The drivers - ohci1394 (controller driver) - ieee1394 (core) - dv1394, raw1394, video1394 (userspace ABI) - eth1394, sbp2 (protocol drivers) are replaced by - firewire-ohci (controller driver) - firewire-core (core and userspace ABI) - firewire-net, firewire-sbp2 (protocol drivers) which are more featureful, better performing, and more secure than the older drivers; all with a smaller and more modern code base. The driver firedtv in drivers/media/dvb/firewire/ contains backends to both ieee1394 and firewire-core. Its ieee1394 backend code can be removed in an independent commit; firedtv as-is builds and works fine without ieee1394. The driver pcilynx (an incomplete controller driver) is deleted without replacement since PCILynx cards are extremely rare. Owners of these cards use them with the stand-alone bus sniffer driver nosy instead. The drivers nosy and init_ohci1394_dma which do not interact with either of the two IEEE 1394 stacks are not affected by the ieee1394 subsystem removal. There are still some issues with the newer firewire subsystem compared to the older one: - The rare and quirky controllers ALi M52xx, Apple UniNorth v1, NVIDIA NForce2 are even less well supported by firewire-ohci than by ohci1394. I am looking into the M52xx issue. - The experimental firewire-net is reportedly less stable than its experimental cousin eth1394. - Audio playback of a certain group of audio devices (ones based on DICE chipset with EAP; supported by prerelease FFADO code) does not work yet. This issue is still under investigation. - There were some ieee1394 based out-of-the-mainline drivers. Of them, only lisight, an audio driver for iSight webcams, seems still useful. Work is underway to reimplement it on top of firewire-core. All these remainig issues are minor; they should not stand in the way of overall better user experience of IEEE 1394 on Linux, together with a reduction in support efforts and maintenance burden. The coexistence of two IEEE 1394 kernel driver stacks in the mainline since 2.6.22 shall end now, as announced earlier this year. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2010-07-27tools/firewire: add userspace front-end of nosyStefan Richter
This adds nosy-dump, the userspace part of nosy, the IEEE 1394 traffic sniffer for Texas Instruments PCILynx/ PCILynx2 based cards. Author is Kristian Høgsberg. The files added here are taken from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~krh/nosy commit ee29be97 (2009-11-10) with the following changes by Stefan Richter: - Parts pertaining to the kernel module removed from Makefile. - dist target removed from the Makefile. - Mentioned nosy-dump in the Kconfig help to nosy's kernel component. - Add copyright notice to nosy-dump.c. This is a duplicate of the respective notice in the kernel component nosy.c except for a time span of 2002 - 2006, according to Kristian's git log. "git shortlog decode-fcp.c list.h nosy-dump.[ch]" from nosy's git repository: Jonathan Woithe (1): Save logs on Ctrl-C Kristian Høgsberg (11): Pull over nosy from mercurial repo. Remove some fields from default view, add logging feature. Use infinite time out for poll(), mark more detail fields. Fix byte ordering macro. Add decoding of iso data and lock packets. Add flag to indicate data length field. Add cycle start packet decoding, add --iso and --cycle-start flags. Distinguish between phy-packets and 0-length iso data. Fix transaction and stats view.

2010-07-27firewire: new driver: nosy - IEEE 1394 traffic snifferStefan Richter
This adds the traffic sniffer driver for Texas Instruments PCILynx/ PCILynx2 based cards. The use cases for nosy are analysis of nonstandard protocols and as an aid in development of drivers, applications, or firmwares. Author of the driver is Kristian Høgsberg. Known contributers are Jody McIntyre and Jonathan Woithe. Nosy programs PCILynx chips to operate in promiscuous mode, which is a feature that is not found in OHCI-1394 controllers. Hence, only special hardware as mentioned in the Kconfig help text is suitable for nosy. This is only the kernelspace part of nosy. There is a userspace interface to it, called nosy-dump, proposed to be added into the tools/ subdirectory of the kernel sources in a subsequent change. Kernelspace and userspave component of nosy communicate via a 'misc' character device file called /dev/nosy with a simple ioctl() and read() based protocol, as described by nosy-user.h. The files added here are taken from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~krh/nosy commit ee29be97 (2009-11-10) with the following changes by Stefan Richter: - Kconfig and Makefile hunks are written from scratch. - Commented out version printk in nosy.c. - Included missing <linux/sched.h>, reported by Stephen Rothwell. "git shortlog nosy{-user.h,.c,.h}" from nosy's git repository: Jonathan Woithe (2): Nosy updates for recent kernels Fix uninitialised memory (needed for 2.6.31 kernel) Kristian Høgsberg (5): Pull over nosy from mercurial repo. Use a misc device instead. Add simple AV/C decoder. Don't break down on big payloads. Set parent device for misc device. As a low-level IEEE 1394 driver, its files are placed into drivers/firewire/ although nosy is not part of the firewire driver stack. I am aware of the following literature from Texas Instruments about PCILynx programming: SCPA020A - PCILynx 1394 to PCI Bus Interface TSB12LV21BPGF Functional Specification SLLA023 - Initialization and Asynchronous Programming of the TSB12LV21A 1394 Device Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Acked-by: Kristian Høgsberg <krh@bitplanet.net>
2009-12-29firewire, ieee1394: update Kconfig helpStefan Richter
Update the Kconfig help texts of both stacks to encourage a general move from the older to the newer drivers. However, do not label ieee1394 as "Obsolete" yet, as the newer drivers have not been deployed as default stack in the majority of Linux distributions yet, and those who start doing so now may still want to install the old drivers as fallback for unforeseen issues. Since Linux 2.6.32, FireWire audio devices can be driven by the newer firewire driver stack too, hence remove an outdated comment about audio devices. Also remove comments about library versions since the 2nd generation of libraw1394 and libdc1394 is now in common use; details on library versions can be read at the wiki link from the help texts.

2009-06-21firewire: new stack is no longer experimentalStefan Richter
The new stack is now recommended over the old one if used for industrial video (IIDC/DCAM) or for storage devices (SBP-2) due to better performance, improved compatibility, added features, and security. It should also be functionally on par with and is more secure than the old ieee1394 stack in the use case of consumer video devices. IP-over-1394 support for the new stack is currently emerging, and a backend of the firedtv DVB driver to the new stack should be available soon. The one remaining area where the old stack is still required are audio devices, as the new stack is not yet able to support the FFADO FireWire audio framework.

2008-04-18firewire: debug interrupt eventsStefan Richter
This adds debug printks for asynchronous transmission and reception and for self ID reception. They can be enabled at module load time, and at runtime via /sys/module/firewire_ohci/parameters/debug. Signed-off-by: Jarod Wilson <jwilson@redhat.com> Also added: Logging of interrupt event codes and of cancelled AT packets. The code now depends on a Kconfig variable. This makes it easier to build firewire-ohci without the feature or to make it an option in the future. The variable is currently hidden and always on. This feature inflates firewire-ohci.ko by 7 kB = 27% on x86-64 and by 4 kB = 23% on i686. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

Alas that won't work so good, because nobody reads help texts. I thought about adding some crude multiple choice selection (build the old stack, build the new stack, build both stacks).
