2020-10-12mailbox: arm_mhu: Add ARM MHU doorbell driverSudeep Holla
The MHU drives the signal using a 32-bit register, with all 32 bits logically ORed together. The MHU provides a set of registers to enable software to set, clear, and check the status of each of the bits of this register independently. The use of 32 bits for each interrupt line enables software to provide more information about the source of the interrupt. For example, each bit of the register can be associated with a type of event that can contribute to raising the interrupt. This patch adds a separate the MHU controller driver for doorbel mode of operation using the extended DT binding to add support the same.

2020-05-30mailbox: Add support for Qualcomm IPCCManivannan Sadhasivam
Add support for the Inter-Processor Communication Controller (IPCC) block from Qualcomm that coordinates the interrupts (inbound & outbound) for Multiprocessor (MPROC), COMPUTE-Level0 (COMPUTE-L0) & COMPUTE-Level1 (COMPUTE-L1) protocols for the Application Processor Subsystem (APSS). This driver is modeled as an irqchip+mailbox driver. The irqchip part helps in receiving the interrupts from the IPCC clients such as modems, DSPs, PCI-E etc... and forwards them to respective entities in APSS. On the other hand, the mailbox part is used to send interrupts to the IPCC clients from the entities of APSS.

2018-03-20mailbox: Add support for Hi3660 mailboxKaihua Zhong
Hi3660 mailbox controller is used to send message within multiple processors, MCU, HIFI, etc. It supports 32 mailbox channels and every channel can only be used for single transferring direction. Once the channel is enabled, it needs to specify the destination interrupt and acknowledge interrupt, these two interrupt vectors are used to create the connection between the mailbox and interrupt controllers. The data transferring supports two modes, one is named as "automatic acknowledge" mode so after send message the kernel doesn't need to wait for acknowledge from remote and directly return; there have another mode is to rely on handling interrupt for acknowledge. This commit is for initial version driver, which only supports "automatic acknowledge" mode to support CPU clock, which is the only one consumer to use mailbox and has been verified. Later may enhance this driver for interrupt mode (e.g. for supporting HIFI).

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2015-06-11mailbox: Enable BCM2835 mailbox supportLubomir Rintel
This mailbox driver provides a single mailbox channel to write 32-bit values to the VPU and get a 32-bit response. The Raspberry Pi firmware uses this mailbox channel to implement firmware calls, while Roku 2 (despite being derived from the same firmware tree) doesn't. The driver was originally submitted by Lubomir, based on the out-of-tree 2708 mailbox driver. Eric Anholt fixed it up for upstreaming, with the major functional change being that it now has no notion of multiple channels (since that is a firmware-dependent concept) and instead the raspberrypi-firmware driver will do that bit-twiddling in its own messages.

2014-11-27Mailbox: Add support for Platform Communication ChannelAshwin Chaugule
ACPI 5.0+ spec defines a generic mode of communication between the OS and a platform such as the BMC. This medium (PCC) is typically used by CPPC (ACPI CPU Performance management), RAS (ACPI reliability protocol) and MPST (ACPI Memory power states). This patch adds PCC support as a Mailbox Controller. As of ACPI v5.1 there is no provision for clients to lookup mailbox controllers in a way that Linux expects. e.g. in DT the clients can list the mailboxes they can associate with in the DT binding and then provide a unique index to lookup a channel within a mailbox. Since the ACPI spec doesn't have anything similar, we introduce a mailbox controller specific API so that when the client calls it, we know to lookup in the context of a specific controller. This also helps in keeping a consistent interface across DT and ACPI for such drivers. This patch implements basic PCC support using the ACPI v5.1 structures. IRQ mode support will be provided as follow up patches.
