Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Client drivers can be set up in two main ways, depending on how the
|
|
corresponding device is made available to the system. We specifically
|
|
differentiate between devices that are presented to the system via one of
|
|
the conventional ways, e.g. as platform devices via ACPI, and devices that
|
|
are non-discoverable and instead need to be explicitly provided by some
|
|
other mechanism, as discussed further below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Non-SSAM Client Drivers
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
All communication with the SAM EC is handled via the |ssam_controller|
|
|
representing that EC to the kernel. Drivers targeting a non-SSAM device (and
|
|
thus not being a |ssam_device_driver|) need to explicitly establish a
|
|
connection/relation to that controller. This can be done via the
|
|
|ssam_client_bind| function. Said function returns a reference to the SSAM
|
|
controller, but, more importantly, also establishes a device link between
|
|
client device and controller (this can also be done separate via
|
|
|ssam_client_link|). It is important to do this, as it, first, guarantees
|
|
that the returned controller is valid for use in the client driver for as
|
|
long as this driver is bound to its device, i.e. that the driver gets
|
|
unbound before the controller ever becomes invalid, and, second, as it
|
|
ensures correct suspend/resume ordering. This setup should be done in the
|
|
driver's probe function, and may be used to defer probing in case the SSAM
|
|
subsystem is not ready yet, for example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
static int client_driver_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
|
|
{
|
|
struct ssam_controller *ctrl;
|
|
|
|
ctrl = ssam_client_bind(&pdev->dev);
|
|
if (IS_ERR(ctrl))
|
|
return PTR_ERR(ctrl) == -ENODEV ? -EPROBE_DEFER : PTR_ERR(ctrl);
|
|
|
|
// ...
|
|
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The controller may be separately obtained via |ssam_get_controller| and its
|
|
lifetime be guaranteed via |ssam_controller_get| and |ssam_controller_put|.
|
|
Note that none of these functions, however, guarantee that the controller
|
|
will not be shut down or suspended. These functions essentially only operate
|
|
on the reference, i.e. only guarantee a bare minimum of accessibility
|
|
without any guarantees at all on practical operability.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adding SSAM Devices
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
If a device does not already exist/is not already provided via conventional
|
|
means, it should be provided as |ssam_device| via the SSAM client device
|
|
hub. New devices can be added to this hub by entering their UID into the
|
|
corresponding registry. SSAM devices can also be manually allocated via
|
|
|ssam_device_alloc|, subsequently to which they have to be added via
|
|
|ssam_device_add| and eventually removed via |ssam_device_remove|. By
|
|
default, the parent of the device is set to the controller device provided
|
|
for allocation, however this may be changed before the device is added. Note
|
|
that, when changing the parent device, care must be taken to ensure that the
|
|
controller lifetime and suspend/resume ordering guarantees, in the default
|
|
setup provided through the parent-child relation, are preserved. If
|
|
necessary, by use of |ssam_client_link| as is done for non-SSAM client
|
|
drivers and described in more detail above.
|
|
|
|
A client device must always be removed by the party which added the
|
|
respective device before the controller shuts down. Such removal can be
|
|
guaranteed by linking the driver providing the SSAM device to the controller
|
|
via |ssam_client_link|, causing it to unbind before the controller driver
|
|
unbinds. Client devices registered with the controller as parent are
|
|
automatically removed when the controller shuts down, but this should not be
|
|
relied upon, especially as this does not extend to client devices with a
|
|
different parent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SSAM Client Drivers
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
SSAM client device drivers are, in essence, no different than other device
|
|
driver types. They are represented via |ssam_device_driver| and bind to a
|
|
|ssam_device| via its UID (:c:type:`struct ssam_device.uid <ssam_device>`)
|
|
member and the match table
|
|
(:c:type:`struct ssam_device_driver.match_table <ssam_device_driver>`),
|
|
which should be set when declaring the driver struct instance. Refer to the
|
|
|SSAM_DEVICE| macro documentation for more details on how to define members
|
|
of the driver's match table.
|
|
|
|
The UID for SSAM client devices consists of a ``domain``, a ``category``,
|
|
a ``target``, an ``instance``, and a ``function``. The ``domain`` is used
|
|
differentiate between physical SAM devices
|
|
(:c:type:`SSAM_DOMAIN_SERIALHUB <ssam_device_domain>`), i.e. devices that can
|
|
be accessed via the Surface Serial Hub, and virtual ones
|
|
(:c:type:`SSAM_DOMAIN_VIRTUAL <ssam_device_domain>`), such as client-device
|
|
hubs, that have no real representation on the SAM EC and are solely used on
|
|
the kernel/driver-side. For physical devices, ``category`` represents the
|
|
target category, ``target`` the target ID, and ``instance`` the instance ID
|
|
used to access the physical SAM device. In addition, ``function`` references
|
|
a specific device functionality, but has no meaning to the SAM EC. The
|
|
(default) name of a client device is generated based on its UID.
|
|
|
|
A driver instance can be registered via |ssam_device_driver_register| and
|
|
unregistered via |ssam_device_driver_unregister|. For convenience, the
|
|
|module_ssam_device_driver| macro may be used to define module init- and
|
|
exit-functions registering the driver.
|
|
|
|
The controller associated with a SSAM client device can be found in its
|
|
:c:type:`struct ssam_device.ctrl <ssam_device>` member. This reference is
|
|
guaranteed to be valid for at least as long as the client driver is bound,
|
|
but should also be valid for as long as the client device exists. Note,
|
|
however, that access outside of the bound client driver must ensure that the
|
|
controller device is not suspended while making any requests or
|
|
(un-)registering event notifiers (and thus should generally be avoided). This
|
|
is guaranteed when the controller is accessed from inside the bound client
|
|
driver.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Making Synchronous Requests
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Synchronous requests are (currently) the main form of host-initiated
|
|
communication with the EC. There are a couple of ways to define and execute
|
|
such requests, however, most of them boil down to something similar as shown
|
|
in the example below. This example defines a write-read request, meaning
|
|
that the caller provides an argument to the SAM EC and receives a response.
|
|
The caller needs to know the (maximum) length of the response payload and
|
|
provide a buffer for it.
|
|
|
|
Care must be taken to ensure that any command payload data passed to the SAM
|
|
EC is provided in little-endian format and, similarly, any response payload
|
|
data received from it is converted from little-endian to host endianness.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
int perform_request(struct ssam_controller *ctrl, u32 arg, u32 *ret)
|
|
{
|
|
struct ssam_request rqst;
|
|
struct ssam_response resp;
|
|
int status;
|
|
|
|
/* Convert request argument to little-endian. */
|
|
__le32 arg_le = cpu_to_le32(arg);
|
|
__le32 ret_le = cpu_to_le32(0);
|
|
|
|
/*
|
|
* Initialize request specification. Replace this with your values.
|
|
* The rqst.payload field may be NULL if rqst.length is zero,
|
|
* indicating that the request does not have any argument.
|
|
*
|
|
* Note: The request parameters used here are not valid, i.e.
|
|
* they do not correspond to an actual SAM/EC request.
|
|
*/
|
|
rqst.target_category = SSAM_SSH_TC_SAM;
|
|
rqst.target_id = 0x01;
|
|
rqst.command_id = 0x02;
|
|
rqst.instance_id = 0x03;
|
|
rqst.flags = SSAM_REQUEST_HAS_RESPONSE;
|
|
rqst.length = sizeof(arg_le);
|
|
rqst.payload = (u8 *)&arg_le;
|
|
|
|
/* Initialize request response. */
|
|
resp.capacity = sizeof(ret_le);
|
|
resp.length = 0;
|
|
resp.pointer = (u8 *)&ret_le;
|
|
|
|
/*
|
|
* Perform actual request. The response pointer may be null in case
|
|
* the request does not have any response. This must be consistent
|
|
* with the SSAM_REQUEST_HAS_RESPONSE flag set in the specification
|
|
* above.
|
|
*/
|
|
status = ssam_request_sync(ctrl, &rqst, &resp);
|
|
|
|
/*
|
|
* Alternatively use
|
|
*
|
|
* ssam_request_sync_onstack(ctrl, &rqst, &resp, sizeof(arg_le));
|
|
*
|
|
* to perform the request, allocating the message buffer directly
|
|
* on the stack as opposed to allocation via kzalloc().
|
|
*/
|
|
|
|
/*
|
|
* Convert request response back to native format. Note that in the
|
|
* error case, this value is not touched by the SSAM core, i.e.
|
|
* 'ret_le' will be zero as specified in its initialization.
|
|
*/
|
|
*ret = le32_to_cpu(ret_le);
|
|
|
|
return status;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Note that |ssam_request_sync| in its essence is a wrapper over lower-level
|
|
request primitives, which may also be used to perform requests. Refer to its
|
|
implementation and documentation for more details.
|
|
|
|
An arguably more user-friendly way of defining such functions is by using
|
|
one of the generator macros, for example via:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_W(__ssam_tmp_perf_mode_set, __le32, {
|
|
.target_category = SSAM_SSH_TC_TMP,
|
|
.target_id = 0x01,
|
|
.command_id = 0x03,
|
|
.instance_id = 0x00,
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
This example defines a function
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
static int __ssam_tmp_perf_mode_set(struct ssam_controller *ctrl, const __le32 *arg);
|
|
|
|
executing the specified request, with the controller passed in when calling
|
|
said function. In this example, the argument is provided via the ``arg``
|
|
pointer. Note that the generated function allocates the message buffer on
|
|
the stack. Thus, if the argument provided via the request is large, these
|
|
kinds of macros should be avoided. Also note that, in contrast to the
|
|
previous non-macro example, this function does not do any endianness
|
|
conversion, which has to be handled by the caller. Apart from those
|
|
differences the function generated by the macro is similar to the one
|
|
provided in the non-macro example above.
|
|
|
|
The full list of such function-generating macros is
|
|
|
|
- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_N` for requests without return value and
|
|
without argument.
|
|
- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_R` for requests with return value but no
|
|
argument.
|
|
- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_W` for requests without return value but
|
|
with argument.
|
|
|
|
Refer to their respective documentation for more details. For each one of
|
|
these macros, a special variant is provided, which targets request types
|
|
applicable to multiple instances of the same device type:
|
|
|
|
- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_MD_N`
|
|
- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_MD_R`
|
|
- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_MD_W`
|
|
|
|
The difference of those macros to the previously mentioned versions is, that
|
|
the device target and instance IDs are not fixed for the generated function,
|
|
but instead have to be provided by the caller of said function.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, variants for direct use with client devices, i.e.
|
|
|ssam_device|, are also provided. These can, for example, be used as
|
|
follows:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_CL_R(ssam_bat_get_sta, __le32, {
|
|
.target_category = SSAM_SSH_TC_BAT,
|
|
.command_id = 0x01,
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
This invocation of the macro defines a function
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
static int ssam_bat_get_sta(struct ssam_device *sdev, __le32 *ret);
|
|
|
|
executing the specified request, using the device IDs and controller given
|
|
in the client device. The full list of such macros for client devices is:
|
|
|
|
- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_CL_N`
|
|
- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_CL_R`
|
|
- :c:func:`SSAM_DEFINE_SYNC_REQUEST_CL_W`
|
|
|
|
|
|
Handling Events
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
To receive events from the SAM EC, an event notifier must be registered for
|
|
the desired event via |ssam_notifier_register|. The notifier must be
|
|
unregistered via |ssam_notifier_unregister| once it is not required any
|
|
more. For |ssam_device| type clients, the |ssam_device_notifier_register| and
|
|
|ssam_device_notifier_unregister| wrappers should be preferred as they properly
|
|
handle hot-removal of client devices.
|
|
|
|
Event notifiers are registered by providing (at minimum) a callback to call
|
|
in case an event has been received, the registry specifying how the event
|
|
should be enabled, an event ID specifying for which target category and,
|
|
optionally and depending on the registry used, for which instance ID events
|
|
should be enabled, and finally, flags describing how the EC will send these
|
|
events. If the specific registry does not enable events by instance ID, the
|
|
instance ID must be set to zero. Additionally, a priority for the respective
|
|
notifier may be specified, which determines its order in relation to any
|
|
other notifier registered for the same target category.
|
|
|
|
By default, event notifiers will receive all events for the specific target
|
|
category, regardless of the instance ID specified when registering the
|
|
notifier. The core may be instructed to only call a notifier if the target
|
|
ID or instance ID (or both) of the event match the ones implied by the
|
|
notifier IDs (in case of target ID, the target ID of the registry), by
|
|
providing an event mask (see |ssam_event_mask|).
|
|
|
|
In general, the target ID of the registry is also the target ID of the
|
|
enabled event (with the notable exception being keyboard input events on the
|
|
Surface Laptop 1 and 2, which are enabled via a registry with target ID 1,
|
|
but provide events with target ID 2).
|
|
|
|
A full example for registering an event notifier and handling received
|
|
events is provided below:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
u32 notifier_callback(struct ssam_event_notifier *nf,
|
|
const struct ssam_event *event)
|
|
{
|
|
int status = ...
|
|
|
|
/* Handle the event here ... */
|
|
|
|
/* Convert return value and indicate that we handled the event. */
|
|
return ssam_notifier_from_errno(status) | SSAM_NOTIF_HANDLED;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
int setup_notifier(struct ssam_device *sdev,
|
|
struct ssam_event_notifier *nf)
|
|
{
|
|
/* Set priority wrt. other handlers of same target category. */
|
|
nf->base.priority = 1;
|
|
|
|
/* Set event/notifier callback. */
|
|
nf->base.fn = notifier_callback;
|
|
|
|
/* Specify event registry, i.e. how events get enabled/disabled. */
|
|
nf->event.reg = SSAM_EVENT_REGISTRY_KIP;
|
|
|
|
/* Specify which event to enable/disable */
|
|
nf->event.id.target_category = sdev->uid.category;
|
|
nf->event.id.instance = sdev->uid.instance;
|
|
|
|
/*
|
|
* Specify for which events the notifier callback gets executed.
|
|
* This essentially tells the core if it can skip notifiers that
|
|
* don't have target or instance IDs matching those of the event.
|
|
*/
|
|
nf->event.mask = SSAM_EVENT_MASK_STRICT;
|
|
|
|
/* Specify event flags. */
|
|
nf->event.flags = SSAM_EVENT_SEQUENCED;
|
|
|
|
return ssam_notifier_register(sdev->ctrl, nf);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Multiple event notifiers can be registered for the same event. The event
|
|
handler core takes care of enabling and disabling events when notifiers are
|
|
registered and unregistered, by keeping track of how many notifiers for a
|
|
specific event (combination of registry, event target category, and event
|
|
instance ID) are currently registered. This means that a specific event will
|
|
be enabled when the first notifier for it is being registered and disabled
|
|
when the last notifier for it is being unregistered. Note that the event
|
|
flags are therefore only used on the first registered notifier, however, one
|
|
should take care that notifiers for a specific event are always registered
|
|
with the same flag and it is considered a bug to do otherwise.
|
