Qualcomm Kernel

Random notes about the Qualcomm Kernel as used on the MDM9615 and MDM9x07. May also apply to other Qualcomm Linux based systems such as Android smartphones.

diag

diag forwarding

drivers/char/diag/diagfwd.[ch]
drivers/usb/gadget/f_diag.[ch]
drivers/usb/misc/diag_bridge.c
  • the usb diag gadget handles diag packet read/write over usb
  • issues events like USB_DIAG_READ_DONE
  • picked up by diagfwd.c
    • can forward diag requests via SMD shared memory to other processors

diag char

The kernel exports a /dev/diag char device which userspce processes can
use to register/listen for DIAG events from the system, or actually
register a DIAG 'subsystem' themselves which can then be controlled from
QXDM.

drivers/char/diag/diagchar_core.c
  • ioctl()s for diag configuration
  • supports several concurrent diag clients
  • diag logging can be directed to USB/HSIC, character device and more
    • {USB,CALLBACK,MEMORY_DEVICE,UART,NO_LOGGING}_MODE

drivers/char/diag/diag_dci.c

  • DCI table is a routing table where pid/sockets can register for a
    given DCI. socket close/cleanup code releases all DCI routes for
    that socket.

DIAG_IOCTL_COMMAND_REG

  • Register a new DIAG command so it can be used from the outside world (QXDM)
  • use 'struct diag_cmd_reg_entry_t' per command
  • driver keeps a driver->cmd_reg_list of registered commands

DIAG_IOCTL_COMMAND_DEREG

  • unregister debug command

DIAG_IOCTL_GET_DELAYED_RSP_ID

DIAG_IOCTL_DCI_REG

DIAG_IOCTL_DCI_DEINIT

DIAG_IOCTL_DCI_SUPPORT

DIAG_IOCTL_DCI_HEALTH_STATS

DIAG_IOCTL_DCI_LOG_STATUS

DIAG_IOCTL_DCI_EVENT_STATUS

DIAG_IOCTL_DCI_CLEAR_LOGS

DIAG_IOCTL_DCI_CLEAR_EVENTS

DIAG_IOCTL_LSM_DEINIT

DIAG_IOCTL_SWITCH_LOGGING

  • switch between USB and shared-memory diag *

DIAG_IOCTL_REMOTE_DEV

DIAG_IOCTL_VOTE_REAL_TIME

DIAG_IOCTL_GET_REAL_TIME

DIAG_IOCTL_PERIPHERAL_BUF_CONFIG

DIAG_IOCTL_PERIPHERAL_BUF_DRAIN

DIAG_IOCTL_REGISTER_CALLBACK

  • doen't really do anything but checking arguments ?!?

DIAG_IOCTL_HDLC_TOGGLE

enable or disable HDLC framing of /dev/diag

IRSC (IPC Router Security Control)

FIXME

SMD (shared memory)

  • SMD sub-systems:
    • Modem (assumed to be hexagon with modem firmware?)
    • Q6 (formerly known as LPASS == Low Power Audio SubSystem)
    • DSPS
    • WCNSS (Wireless Connectivity Sub System) aka 'riva'
    • RPM (Resource Power Manager)
  • inter-processor-interrupts for various 'edges'

core driver

  • arch/arm/mach-msm/smd.c

api

  • smd_open()
  • smd_close()
  • smd_write*()
  • smd_read*()
  • smsm_*()

MSM IPC (Inter Process Communications) socket

Qualcomm implements a socket-based inter process communication on Linux. It is implemented using a new address family, AF_MSM_IPC (27).

The socket is used as datagram type socket (SOCK_DGRAM).

The socket address of a related socket consists of:

  • the socket family (AF_MSM_IPC)
  • a struct msm_ipc_addr, consisting of
    • a single address type byte
    • a port address (node_id, port_id)
    • a port name (service, instance)
  • arch/arm/mach-msm/ipc_socket.c
  • AF_MSM_IPC

packet ports

  • Some kind of packet oriented interface towards the SMD
  • msm_smd_pkt.c contains driver
    • smdpkt0..7+smd22 devices, 2048 byte buffer
    • open/release/read/write/poll syscalls implemented

available SMD devices

smem_log

This is some kidn of high speed shared memory based event log to which all processors can log events.

Userspace applications can use write() to /dev/smem_log to add log entries.

Qualcomm uses a proprietary minimal shim layer offering SMEM_LOG_EVENT and SMEM_LOG_EVENT6 macros
that can be used to write events with an event ID plus three data words or six data words, respectively.

The shared memory log can be read from linux userspace via debugfs, see the devices in /sys/kernel/debug/smem_log
and simply use cat on them. You will get lines like

rmnet

"remote network" ?
  • consists of control channel and data channel
  • data channel carries IP data
  • control channel carries QMI messages
  • drivers/net/ethernet/msm/msm_rmnet_bam.c
    • ioctl() to set ethernet or rawip (RMNET_IOCTL_SET_LLP_ETHERNET, RMNET_IOCTL_SET_LLP_IP, RMNET_IOCTL_GET_LLP), initial boot time config is ETHERNET
    • use msm_bam_dmux_open() to attach
    • use RMNET_IOCTL_GET_EPID to get the BAM_DMUX endpoint id

bam (Bus Access Manager/Module)

  • The Bus Access Manager/Module (BAM) can be
    considered as a distributed data mover (DM)
  • some kind of DMA controller/engine
  • A number of the on-chip devices have their own BAM DMA controller
    and use it to move data between system memory and peripherals or
    between two peripherals.

  • channels (BAM_DMUX_)
    • RMNET_0...7
    • USB_RMNET_0
    • DATA_REV_RMNET_0..8
    • USB_DPL

seem to be be based on dmux ./drivers/soc/qcom/bam_dmux.c

IPA (Internet Packet Accelerator)

Internet Packet Accelerator (IPA) is a programmable protocol
processor HW block. It is designed to support generic HW processing
of UL/DL IP packets for various use cases independent of radio
technology.

See drivers/platform/msm/ipa/

maybe soem kind of direct connection between two peripherals by means of the BAM?
