The first region should contain - the address and the length of the shared message interrupt register set. - The second region should contain the address of aliased MSIIR register for - platforms that have such an alias. - -- msi-available-ranges: use <start count> style section to define which - msi interrupt can be used in the 256 msi interrupts. This property is - optional, without this, all the 256 MSI interrupts can be used. - Each available range must begin and end on a multiple of 32 (i.e. - no splitting an individual MSI register or the associated PIC interrupt). - -- interrupts : each one of the interrupts here is one entry per 32 MSIs, - and routed to the host interrupt controller. the interrupts should - be set as edge sensitive. If msi-available-ranges is present, only - the interrupts that correspond to available ranges shall be present. - -- interrupt-parent: the phandle for the interrupt controller - that services interrupts for this device. for 83xx cpu, the interrupts - are routed to IPIC, and for 85xx/86xx cpu the interrupts are routed - to MPIC. - -Optional properties: -- msi-address-64: 64-bit PCI address of the MSIIR register. The MSIIR register - is used for MSI messaging. The address of MSIIR in PCI address space is - the MSI message address. - - This property may be used in virtualized environments where the hypervisor - has created an alternate mapping for the MSIR block. See below for an - explanation. - - -Example: - msi@41600 { - compatible = "fsl,mpc8610-msi", "fsl,mpic-msi"; - reg = <0x41600 0x80>; - msi-available-ranges = <0 0x100>; - interrupts = < - 0xe0 0 - 0xe1 0 - 0xe2 0 - 0xe3 0 - 0xe4 0 - 0xe5 0 - 0xe6 0 - 0xe7 0>; - interrupt-parent = <&mpic>; - }; - -The Freescale hypervisor and msi-address-64 -------------------------------------------- -Normally, PCI devices have access to all of CCSR via an ATMU mapping. The -Freescale MSI driver calculates the address of MSIIR (in the MSI register -block) and sets that address as the MSI message address. - -In a virtualized environment, the hypervisor may need to create an IOMMU -mapping for MSIIR. The Freescale ePAPR hypervisor has this requirement -because of hardware limitations of the Peripheral Access Management Unit -(PAMU), which is currently the only IOMMU that the hypervisor supports. -The ATMU is programmed with the guest physical address, and the PAMU -intercepts transactions and reroutes them to the true physical address. - -In the PAMU, each PCI controller is given only one primary window. The -PAMU restricts DMA operations so that they can only occur within a window. -Because PCI devices must be able to DMA to memory, the primary window must -be used to cover all of the guest's memory space. - -PAMU primary windows can be divided into 256 subwindows, and each -subwindow can have its own address mapping ("guest physical" to "true -physical"). However, each subwindow has to have the same alignment, which -means they cannot be located at just any address. Because of these -restrictions, it is usually impossible to create a 4KB subwindow that -covers MSIIR where it's normally located. - -Therefore, the hypervisor has to create a subwindow inside the same -primary window used for memory, but mapped to the MSIR block (where MSIIR -lives). The first subwindow after the end of guest memory is used for -this. The address specified in the msi-address-64 property is the PCI -address of MSIIR. The hypervisor configures the PAMU to map that address to -the true physical address of MSIIR. |
