Stefan Richter 872e330e38 firewire: add isochronous multichannel reception
This adds the DMA context programming and userspace ABI for multichannel
reception, i.e. for listening on multiple channel numbers by means of a
single DMA context.

The use case is reception of more streams than there are IR DMA units
offered by the link layer.  This is already implemented by the older
ohci1394 + ieee1394 + raw1394 stack.  And as discussed recently on
linux1394-devel, this feature is occasionally used in practice.

The big drawbacks of this mode are that buffer layout and interrupt
generation necessarily differ from single-channel reception:  Headers
and trailers are not stripped from packets, packets are not aligned with
buffer chunks, interrupts are per buffer chunk, not per packet.

These drawbacks also cause a rather hefty code footprint to support this
rarely used OHCI-1394 feature.  (367 lines added, among them 94 lines of
added userspace ABI documentation.)

This implementation enforces that a multichannel reception context may
only listen to channels to which no single-channel context on the same
link layer is presently listening to.  OHCI-1394 would allow to overlay
single-channel contexts by the multi-channel context, but this would be
a departure from the present first-come-first-served policy of IR
context creation.

The implementation is heavily based on an earlier one by Jay Fenlason.
Thanks Jay.

Stefan Richter 8e2b2b46ea firewire: cdev: improve FW_CDEV_IOC_ALLOCATE
In both the ieee1394 stack and the firewire stack, the core treats
kernelspace drivers better than userspace drivers when it comes to
CSR address range allocation:  The former may request a register to be
placed automatically at a free spot anywhere inside a specified address
range.  The latter may only request a register at a fixed offset.

Hence, userspace drivers which do not require a fixed offset potentially
need to implement a retry loop with incremented offset in each retry
until the kernel does not fail allocation with EBUSY.  This awkward
procedure is not fundamentally necessary as the core already provides a
superior allocation API to kernelspace drivers.

Therefore change the ioctl() ABI by addition of a region_end member in
the existing struct fw_cdev_allocate.  Userspace and kernelspace APIs
work the same way now.

There is a small cost to pay by clients though:  If client source code
is required to compile with older kernel headers too, then any use of
the new member fw_cdev_allocate.region_end needs to be enclosed by
#ifdef/#endif directives.  However, any client program that seriously
wants to use address range allocations will require a kernel of cdev ABI
version >= 4 at runtime and a linux/firewire-cdev.h header of >= 4
anyway.  This is because v4 brings FW_CDEV_EVENT_REQUEST2.  The only
client program in which build-time compatibility with struct
fw_cdev_allocate as found in older kernel headers makes sense is
libraw1394.

(libraw1394 uses the older broken FW_CDEV_EVENT_REQUEST to implement a
makeshift, incorrect transaction responder that does at least work
somewhat in many simple scenarios, relying on guesswork by libraw1394
and by libraw1394 based applications.  Plus, address range allocation
and transaction responder is only one of many features that libraw1394
needs to provide, and these other features need to work with kernel and
kernel-headers as old as possible.  Any new linux/firewire-cdev.h based
client that implements a transaction responder should never attempt to
do it like libraw1394;  instead it should make a header and kernel of v4
or later a hard requirement.)

While we are at it, update the struct fw_cdev_allocate documentation to
better reflect the recent fw_cdev_event_request2 ABI addition.

Stefan Richter cc550216ae firewire: cdev: add PHY pinging
This extends the FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_PHY_PACKET ioctl() for /dev/fw* to be
useful for ping time measurements.  One application for it would be gap
count optimization in userspace that is based on ping times rather than
hop count.  (The latter is implemented in firewire-core itself but is
not applicable to beta PHYs that act as repeater.)

Stefan Richter bf54e1462b firewire: cdev: add PHY packet reception
Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_RECEIVE_PHY_PACKETS ioctl() and
FW_CDEV_EVENT_PHY_PACKET_RECEIVED poll()/read() event for /dev/fw*.
This can be used to get information from remote PHYs by remote access
PHY packets.

This is also the 2nd half of the functionality (the receive part) to
support a userspace implementation of a VersaPHY transaction layer.

Safety considerations:

  - PHY packets are generally broadcasts, hence some kind of elevated
    privileges should be required of a process to be able to listen in
    on PHY packets.  This implementation assumes that a process that is
    allowed to open the /dev/fw* of a local node does have this
    privilege.

    There was an inconclusive discussion about introducing POSIX
    capabilities as a means to check for user privileges for these
    kinds of operations.

Other limitations:

  - PHY packet reception may be switched on by ioctl() but cannot be
    switched off again.  It would be trivial to provide an off switch,
    but this is not worth the code.  The client should simply close()
    the fd then, or just ignore further events.

  - For sake of simplicity of API and kernel-side implementation, no
    filter per packet content is provided.

Stefan Richter 850bb6f23b firewire: cdev: add PHY packet transmission
Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_PHY_PACKET ioctl() for /dev/fw* which can be
used to implement bus management related functionality in userspace.

This is also half of the functionality (the transmit part) that is
needed to support a userspace implementation of a VersaPHY transaction
layer.

Safety considerations:

  - PHY packets are generally broadcasts and may have interesting
    effects on PHYs and the bus, e.g. make asynchronous arbitration
    impossible due to too low gap count.  Hence some kind of elevated
    privileges should be required of a process to be able to send
    PHY packets.  This implementation assumes that a process that is
    allowed to open the /dev/fw* of a local node does have this
    privilege.

    There was an inconclusive discussion about introducing POSIX
    capabilities as a means to check for user privileges for these
    kinds of operations.

  - The kernel does not check integrity of the supplied packet data.
    That would be far too much code, considering the many kinds of
    PHY packets.  A process which got the privilege to send these
    packets is trusted to do it correctly.

Just like with the other "send packet" ioctls, a non-blocking API is
chosen; i.e. the ioctl may return even before AT DMA started.  After
transmission, an event for poll()/read() is enqueued.  Most users are
going to need a blocking API, but a blocking userspace wrapper is easy
to implement, and the second of the two existing libraw1394 calls
raw1394_phy_packet_write() and raw1394_start_phy_packet_write() can be
better supported that way.

Stefan Richter e205597d18 firewire: cdev: fix ABI for FCP and address range mapping, add fw_cdev_event_request2
The problem:

A target-like userspace driver, e.g. AV/C target or SBP-2/3 target,
needs to be able to act as responder and requester.  In the latter role,
it needs to send requests to nods from which it received requests.  This
is currently impossible because fw_cdev_event_request lacks information
about sender node ID.
Reported-by: Jay Fenlason <fenlason@redhat.com>

Libffado + libraw1394 + firewire-core is currently unable to drive two
or more audio devices on the same bus.
Reported-by: Arnold Krille <arnold@arnoldarts.de>

This is because libffado requires destination node ID of FCP requests
and sender node ID of FCP responses to match.  It even prohibits
libffado from working with a bus on which libraw1394 opens a /dev/fw* as
default ioctl device that does not correspond with the audio device.
This is because libraw1394 does not receive the sender node ID from the
kernel.

Moreover, fw_cdev_event_request makes it impossible to tell unicast and
broadcast write requests apart.

The fix:

Add a replacement of struct fw_cdev_event_request request, boringly
called struct fw_cdev_event_request2.  The new event will be sent to a
userspace client instead of the old one if the client claims
compatibility with <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI version 4 or later.

libraw1394 needs to be extended to make use of the new event, in order
to properly support libffado and other FCP or address range mapping
users who require correct sender node IDs.

Further notes:

While we are at it, change back the range of possible values of
fw_cdev_event_request.tcode to 0x0...0xb like in ABI version <= 3.
The preceding change "firewire: expose extended tcode of incoming lock
requests to (userspace) drivers" expanded it to 0x0...0x17 which could
catch sloppily coded clients by surprise.  The extended range of codes
is only used in the new fw_cdev_event_request2.tcode.

Jay and I also suggested an alternative approach to fix the ABI for
incoming requests:  Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_REQUEST_INFO ioctl which can
be called after reception of an fw_cdev_event_request, before issuing of
the closing FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_RESPONSE ioctl.  The new ioctl would reveal
the vital information about a request that fw_cdev_event_request lacks.
Jay showed an implementation of this approach.

The former event approach adds 27 LOC of rather trivial code to
core-cdev.c, the ioctl approach 34 LOC, some of which is nontrivial.
The ioctl approach would certainly also add more LOC to userspace
programs which require the expanded information on inbound requests.
This approach is probably only on the lighter-weight side in case of
clients that want to be compatible with kernels that lack the new
capability, like libraw1394.  However, the code to be added to such
libraw1394-like clients in case of the event approach is a straight-
forward additional switch () case in its event handler.

Stefan Richter 604f451678 firewire: cdev: freeze FW_CDEV_VERSION due to libraw1394 bug
libraw1394 v2.0.0...v2.0.5 takes FW_CDEV_VERSION from an externally
installed header file and uses it to declare its own implementation
level in FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO.  This is wrong; it should set the real
version for which it was actually written.

If we add features to the kernel ABI that require the kernel to check
a client's implementation level, we can not trust the client version if
it was set from FW_CDEV_VERSION.

Hence freeze FW_CDEV_VERSION at the current value (no damage has been
done yet), clearly document FW_CDEV_VERSION as a dummy version and what
clients are expected to do with fw_cdev_get_info.version, and use a new
defined constant (which is not placed into the exported header file) as
kernel implementation level.

Note, in order to check in client program source code which features are
present in an externally installed linux/firewire-cdev.h, use
preprocessor directives like
  #ifdef FW_CDEV_IOC_ALLOCATE_ISO_RESOURCE
or
  #ifdef FW_CDEV_EVENT_ISO_RESOURCE_ALLOCATED
instead of a check of FW_CDEV_VERSION.

Stefan Richter abfe5a01ef firewire: cdev: add more flexible cycle timer ioctl
The system time from CLOCK_REALTIME is not monotonic, hence problematic
for the main user of the FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_CYCLE_TIMER ioctl.  This issue

http://subversion.ffado.org/ticket/242

We now offer an alternative ioctl which lets the caller choose between
CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW as source of
the local time, very similar to the clock_gettime libc function.  The
format of the local time return value matches that of clock_gettime
(seconds and nanoseconds, instead of a single microseconds value from

Clemens Ladisch db5d247ae8 firewire: fix use of multiple AV/C devices, allow multiple FCP listeners
Control of more than one AV/C device at once --- e.g. camcorders, tape
decks, audio devices, TV tuners --- failed or worked only unreliably,
depending on driver implementation.  This affected kernelspace and
userspace drivers alike and was caused by firewire-core's inability to
accept multiple registrations of FCP listeners.

The fix allows multiple address handlers to be registered for the FCP
command and response registers.  When a request for these registers is
received, all handlers are invoked, and the Firewire response is
generated by the core and not by any handler.

The cdev API does not change, i.e., userspace is still expected to send
a response for FCP requests; this response is silently ignored.

Stefan Richter de487da8ca firewire: cdev: secure add_descriptor ioctl
The access permissions and ownership or ACL of /dev/fw* character device
files will typically be set based on the device type of the respective
nodes, as obtained by firewire-core from descriptors in the device's
configuration ROM.  An example policy is to deny write permission by
default but grant write permission to files of AV/C video and audio
devices and IIDC video devices.

The FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR ioctl could be used to partly subvert
such a policy:  Find a device file with relaxed permissions, use the
ioctl to add a descriptor with AV/C marker to the local node's ROM, thus
gain access to the local node's character device file.  (This is only
possible if there are udev scripts installed which actively relax
permissions for known device types and if there is a device of such a
type connected.)

Accessibility of the local node's device file is relevant to host
security if the host contains two or more IEEE 1394 link layer
controllers which are plugged into a single bus.

Therefore change the ABI to deny FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR if the file
belongs to a remote node.  (This change has no impact on known
implementers of the ABI:  None of them uses the ioctl yet.)

Also clarify the documentation:  The ioctl affects all local nodes, not
just one local node.

  - Fix a != vs. == thinko that got in the way of channel management.
  - Try bandwidth deallocation even if channel deallocation failed.

A simplification:
  - fw_cdev_allocate_iso_resource.channels is now ordered like

    argument.

By the way, I looked closer at cards from NEC, TI, and VIA, and noticed
that they all don't implement IEEE 1394a behaviour which is meant to
deviate from IEEE 1212's notion of lock compare-swap.  This means that
we have to do two lock transactions instead of one in many cases where
one transaction would already succeed on a fully 1394a compliant IRM.

Stefan Richter 33580a3ef5 firewire: cdev: add ioctl to query maximum transmission speed
While the speed of asynchronous transactions is automatically chosen by
the kernel, the speed of isochronous streams has to be chosen by the
initiating client.

In case of 1394a bus topologies, the maximum possible speed could be
figured out with some effort by evaluation of the remote node's link
speed field in the config ROM, the local node's link speed field, and
the PHY speeds and topologic information in the local node's or IRM's
topology map CSR.  However, this does not work in case of 1394b buses.

Hence add an ioctl to export the maximum speed which the kernel already
determined.

    From: Jay Fenlason <fenlason@redhat.com>
    Subject: [Patch V4] Add ISO resource management support
with several changes to the ABI and implementation.  Only the part of
the ABI which enables auto-reallocation and auto-deallocation is
included here.

This implements ioctls for kernel-assisted allocation of isochronous
channels and isochronous bandwidth.  The benefits are:
  - The client does not have to have write access to the /dev/fw* device
    corresponding to the IRM.
  - The client does not have to perform reallocation after bus resets.
  - Channel and bandwidth are deallocated by the kernel if the file is
    closed before the client deallocated the resources.  Thus resources
    are released even if the client crashes.

It is anticipated that future in-kernel code (firewire-core IRM code;
the firewire port of firedtv), will use the fw-iso.c portions of this
code too.

Stefan Richter 632321ecd9 firewire: cdev: fix documentation of FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO
The FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO ioctl looks at client->device->config_rom, not
at the local node's config ROM.

We could fix the implementation or the documentation.  I believe the way
how it is currently implemented is more useful than the way how it is
currently documented.  In fact, libdc1394 uses the ABI already as
implemented, not as documented.  Hence let's change the documentation.

Stefan Richter a64408b96b firewire: adopt read cycle timer ABI from raw1394
This duplicates the read cycle timer feature of raw1394 (added in Linux
2.6.21) in firewire-core's userspace ABI.  The argument to the ioctl is
reordered though to ensure 32/64 bit compatibility.

Kristian Høgsberg 1ca31ae7cf firewire: Change struct fw_cdev_iso_packet to not use bitfields.
The struct is part of the userspace interface and can not use
bitfields.  This patch replaces the bitfields with a __u32 'control'
word and provides access macros to set the bits.
