Introduction +*************** + +BTF (BPF Type Format) is the meta data format which +encodes the debug info related to BPF program/map. +The name BTF was used initially to describe +data types. The BTF was later extended to include +function info for defined subroutines, and line info +for source/line information. + +The debug info is used for map pretty print, function +signature, etc. The function signature enables better +bpf program/function kernel symbol. +The line info helps generate +source annotated translated byte code, jited code +and verifier log. + +The BTF specification contains two parts, + * BTF kernel API + * BTF ELF file format + +The kernel API is the contract between +user space and kernel. The kernel verifies +the BTF info before using it. +The ELF file format is a user space contract +between ELF file and libbpf loader. + +The type and string sections are part of the +BTF kernel API, describing the debug info +(mostly types related) referenced by the bpf program. +These two sections are discussed in +details in :ref:`BTF_Type_String`. + +.. _BTF_Type_String: + +2. BTF Type and String Encoding +******************************* + +The file ``include/uapi/linux/btf.h`` provides high +level definition on how types/strings are encoded. + +The beginning of data blob must be:: + + struct btf_header { + __u16 magic; + __u8 version; + __u8 flags; + __u32 hdr_len; + + /* All offsets are in bytes relative to the end of this header */ + __u32 type_off; /* offset of type section */ + __u32 type_len; /* length of type section */ + __u32 str_off; /* offset of string section */ + __u32 str_len; /* length of string section */ + }; + +The magic is ``0xeB9F``, which has different encoding for big and little +endian system, and can be used to test whether BTF is generated for +big or little endian target. +The btf_header is designed to be extensible with hdr_len equal to +``sizeof(struct btf_header)`` when the data blob is generated. + +2.1 String Encoding +=================== + +The first string in the string section must be a null string. +The rest of string table is a concatenation of other null-treminated +strings. + +2.2 Type Encoding +================= + +The type id ``0`` is reserved for ``void`` type. +The type section is parsed sequentially and the type id is assigned to +each recognized type starting from id ``1``. +Currently, the following types are supported:: + + #define BTF_KIND_INT 1 /* Integer */ + #define BTF_KIND_PTR 2 /* Pointer */ + #define BTF_KIND_ARRAY 3 /* Array */ + #define BTF_KIND_STRUCT 4 /* Struct */ + #define BTF_KIND_UNION 5 /* Union */ + #define BTF_KIND_ENUM 6 /* Enumeration */ + #define BTF_KIND_FWD 7 /* Forward */ + #define BTF_KIND_TYPEDEF 8 /* Typedef */ + #define BTF_KIND_VOLATILE 9 /* Volatile */ + #define BTF_KIND_CONST 10 /* Const */ + #define BTF_KIND_RESTRICT 11 /* Restrict */ + #define BTF_KIND_FUNC 12 /* Function */ + #define BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO 13 /* Function Proto */ + +Note that the type section encodes debug info, not just pure types. +``BTF_KIND_FUNC`` is not a type, and it represents a defined subprogram. + +Each type contains the following common data:: + + struct btf_type { + __u32 name_off; + /* "info" bits arrangement + * bits 0-15: vlen (e.g. # of struct's members) + * bits 16-23: unused + * bits 24-27: kind (e.g. int, ptr, array...etc) + * bits 28-30: unused + * bit 31: kind_flag, currently used by + * struct, union and fwd + */ + __u32 info; + /* "size" is used by INT, ENUM, STRUCT and UNION. + * "size" tells the size of the type it is describing. + * + * "type" is used by PTR, TYPEDEF, VOLATILE, CONST, RESTRICT, + * FUNC and FUNC_PROTO. + * "type" is a type_id referring to another type. + */ + union { + __u32 size; + __u32 type; + }; + }; + +For certain kinds, the common data are followed by kind specific data. +The ``name_off`` in ``struct btf_type`` specifies the offset in the string table. +The following details encoding of each kind. + +2.2.1 BTF_KIND_INT +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement: + * ``name_off``: any valid offset + * ``info.kind_flag``: 0 + * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_INT + * ``info.vlen``: 0 + * ``size``: the size of the int type in bytes. + +``btf_type`` is followed by a ``u32`` with following bits arrangement:: + + #define BTF_INT_ENCODING(VAL) (((VAL) & 0x0f000000) >> 24) + #define BTF_INT_OFFSET(VAL) (((VAL & 0x00ff0000)) >> 16) + #define BTF_INT_BITS(VAL) ((VAL) & 0x000000ff) + +The ``BTF_INT_ENCODING`` has the following attributes:: + + #define BTF_INT_SIGNED (1 << 0) + #define BTF_INT_CHAR (1 << 1) + #define BTF_INT_BOOL (1 << 2) + +The ``BTF_INT_ENCODING()`` provides extra information, signness, +char, or bool, for the int type. The char and bool encoding +are mostly useful for pretty print. At most one encoding can +be specified for the int type. + +The ``BTF_INT_BITS()`` specifies the number of actual bits held by +this int type. For example, a 4-bit bitfield encodes +``BTF_INT_BITS()`` equals to 4. The ``btf_type.size * 8`` +must be equal to or greater than ``BTF_INT_BITS()`` for the type. +The maximum value of ``BTF_INT_BITS()`` is 128. + +The ``BTF_INT_OFFSET()`` specifies the starting bit offset to +calculate values for this int. For example, a bitfield struct +member has + + * btf member bit offset 100 from the start of the structure, + * btf member pointing to an int type, + * the int type has ``BTF_INT_OFFSET() = 2`` and ``BTF_INT_BITS() = 4`` + +Then in the struct memory layout, this member will occupy +``4`` bits starting from bits ``100 + 2 = 102``. + +Alternatively, the bitfield struct member can be the following to +access the same bits as the above: + + * btf member bit offset 102, + * btf member pointing to an int type, + * the int type has ``BTF_INT_OFFSET() = 0`` and ``BTF_INT_BITS() = 4`` + +The original intention of ``BTF_INT_OFFSET()`` is to provide +flexibility of bitfield encoding. +Currently, both llvm and pahole generates ``BTF_INT_OFFSET() = 0`` +for all int types. + +2.2.2 BTF_KIND_PTR +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement: + * ``name_off``: 0 + * ``info.kind_flag``: 0 + * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_PTR + * ``info.vlen``: 0 + * ``type``: the pointee type of the pointer + +No additional type data follow ``btf_type``. + +2.2.3 BTF_KIND_ARRAY +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement: + * ``name_off``: 0 + * ``info.kind_flag``: 0 + * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_ARRAY + * ``info.vlen``: 0 + * ``size/type``: 0, not used + +btf_type is followed by one "struct btf_array":: + + struct btf_array { + __u32 type; + __u32 index_type; + __u32 nelems; + }; + +The ``struct btf_array`` encoding: + * ``type``: the element type + * ``index_type``: the index type + * ``nelems``: the number of elements for this array (``0`` is also allowed). + +The ``index_type`` can be any regular int types +(u8, u16, u32, u64, unsigned __int128). +The original design of including ``index_type`` follows dwarf +which has a ``index_type`` for its array type. +Currently in BTF, beyond type verification, the ``index_type`` is not used. + +The ``struct btf_array`` allows chaining through element type to represent +multiple dimensional arrays. For example, ``int a[5][6]``, the following +type system illustrates the chaining: + + * [1]: int + * [2]: array, ``btf_array.type = [1]``, ``btf_array.nelems = 6`` + * [3]: array, ``btf_array.type = [2]``, ``btf_array.nelems = 5`` + +Currently, both pahole and llvm collapse multiple dimensional array +into one dimensional array, e.g., ``a[5][6]``, the btf_array.nelems +equal to ``30``. This is because the original use case is map pretty +print where the whole array is dumped out so one dimensional array +is enough. As more BTF usage is explored, pahole and llvm can be +changed to generate proper chained representation for +multiple dimensional arrays. + +2.2.4 BTF_KIND_STRUCT +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +2.2.5 BTF_KIND_UNION +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement: + * ``name_off``: 0 or offset to a valid C identifier + * ``info.kind_flag``: 0 or 1 + * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_STRUCT or BTF_KIND_UNION + * ``info.vlen``: the number of struct/union members + * ``info.size``: the size of the struct/union in bytes + +``btf_type`` is followed by ``info.vlen`` number of ``struct btf_member``.:: + + struct btf_member { + __u32 name_off; + __u32 type; + __u32 offset; + }; + +``struct btf_member`` encoding: + * ``name_off``: offset to a valid C identifier + * ``type``: the member type + * ``offset``: <see below> + +If the type info ``kind_flag`` is not set, the offset contains +only bit offset of the member. Note that the base type of the +bitfield can only be int or enum type. If the bitfield size +is 32, the base type can be either int or enum type. +If the bitfield size is not 32, the base type must be int, +and int type ``BTF_INT_BITS()`` encodes the bitfield size. + +If the ``kind_flag`` is set, the ``btf_member.offset`` +contains both member bitfield size and bit offset. The +bitfield size and bit offset are calculated as below.:: + + #define BTF_MEMBER_BITFIELD_SIZE(val) ((val) >> 24) + #define BTF_MEMBER_BIT_OFFSET(val) ((val) & 0xffffff) + +In this case, if the base type is an int type, it must +be a regular int type: + + * ``BTF_INT_OFFSET()`` must be 0. + * ``BTF_INT_BITS()`` must be equal to ``{1,2,4,8,16} * 8``. + +The following kernel patch introduced ``kind_flag`` and +explained why both modes exist: + + https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/9d5f9f701b1891466fb3dbb1806ad97716f95cc3#diff-fa650a64fdd3968396883d2fe8215ff3 + +2.2.6 BTF_KIND_ENUM +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement: + * ``name_off``: 0 or offset to a valid C identifier + * ``info.kind_flag``: 0 + * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_ENUM + * ``info.vlen``: number of enum values + * ``size``: 4 + +``btf_type`` is followed by ``info.vlen`` number of ``struct btf_enum``.:: + + struct btf_enum { + __u32 name_off; + __s32 val; + }; + +The ``btf_enum`` encoding: + * ``name_off``: offset to a valid C identifier + * ``val``: any value + +2.2.7 BTF_KIND_FWD +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement: + * ``name_off``: offset to a valid C identifier + * ``info.kind_flag``: 0 for struct, 1 for union + * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_FWD + * ``info.vlen``: 0 + * ``type``: 0 + +No additional type data follow ``btf_type``. + +2.2.8 BTF_KIND_TYPEDEF +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement: + * ``name_off``: offset to a valid C identifier + * ``info.kind_flag``: 0 + * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_TYPEDEF + * ``info.vlen``: 0 + * ``type``: the type which can be referred by name at ``name_off`` + +No additional type data follow ``btf_type``. + +2.2.9 BTF_KIND_VOLATILE +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement: + * ``name_off``: 0 + * ``info.kind_flag``: 0 + * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_VOLATILE + * ``info.vlen``: 0 + * ``type``: the type with ``volatile`` qualifier + +No additional type data follow ``btf_type``. + +2.2.10 BTF_KIND_CONST +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement: + * ``name_off``: 0 + * ``info.kind_flag``: 0 + * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_CONST + * ``info.vlen``: 0 + * ``type``: the type with ``const`` qualifier + +No additional type data follow ``btf_type``. + +2.2.11 BTF_KIND_RESTRICT +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement: + * ``name_off``: 0 + * ``info.kind_flag``: 0 + * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_RESTRICT + * ``info.vlen``: 0 + * ``type``: the type with ``restrict`` qualifier + +No additional type data follow ``btf_type``. + +2.2.12 BTF_KIND_FUNC +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement: + * ``name_off``: offset to a valid C identifier + * ``info.kind_flag``: 0 + * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_FUNC + * ``info.vlen``: 0 + * ``type``: a BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO type + +No additional type data follow ``btf_type``. + +A BTF_KIND_FUNC defines, not a type, but a subprogram (function) whose +signature is defined by ``type``.

A blob of data +described in :ref:`BTF_Type_String` +can be directly loaded into the kernel. +A ``btf_fd`` returns to userspace. + +3.2 BPF_MAP_CREATE +================== + +A map can be created with ``btf_fd`` and specified key/value type id.:: + + __u32 btf_fd; /* fd pointing to a BTF type data */ + __u32 btf_key_type_id; /* BTF type_id of the key */ + __u32 btf_value_type_id; /* BTF type_id of the value */ + +In libbpf, the map can be defined with extra annotation like below: +:: + + struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") btf_map = { + .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY, + .key_size = sizeof(int), + .value_size = sizeof(struct ipv_counts), + .max_entries = 4, + }; + BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR(btf_map, int, struct ipv_counts); + +Here, the parameters for macro BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR are map name, +key and value types for the map. +During ELF parsing, libbpf is able to extract key/value type_id's +and assigned them to BPF_MAP_CREATE attributes automatically. + +.. _BPF_Prog_Load: + +3.3 BPF_PROG_LOAD +================= + +During prog_load, func_info and line_info can be passed to kernel with +proper values for the following attributes: +:: + + __u32 insn_cnt; + __aligned_u64 insns; + ...... + __u32 prog_btf_fd; /* fd pointing to BTF type data */ + __u32 func_info_rec_size; /* userspace bpf_func_info size */ + __aligned_u64 func_info; /* func info */ + __u32 func_info_cnt; /* number of bpf_func_info records */ + __u32 line_info_rec_size; /* userspace bpf_line_info size */ + __aligned_u64 line_info; /* line info */ + __u32 line_info_cnt; /* number of bpf_line_info records */ + +The func_info and line_info are an array of below, respectively.:: + + struct bpf_func_info { + __u32 insn_off; /* [0, insn_cnt - 1] */ + __u32 type_id; /* pointing to a BTF_KIND_FUNC type */ + }; + struct bpf_line_info { + __u32 insn_off; /* [0, insn_cnt - 1] */ + __u32 file_name_off; /* offset to string table for the filename */ + __u32 line_off; /* offset to string table for the source line */ + __u32 line_col; /* line number and column number */ + }; + +func_info_rec_size is the size of each func_info record, and line_info_rec_size +is the size of each line_info record. Passing the record size to kernel make +it possible to extend the record itself in the future. + +Below are requirements for func_info: + * func_info[0].insn_off must be 0. + * the func_info insn_off is in strictly increasing order and matches + bpf func boundaries. + +Below are requirements for line_info: + * the first insn in each func must points to a line_info record. + * the line_info insn_off is in strictly increasing order. + +For line_info, the line number and column number are defined as below: +:: + + #define BPF_LINE_INFO_LINE_NUM(line_col) ((line_col) >> 10) + #define BPF_LINE_INFO_LINE_COL(line_col) ((line_col) & 0x3ff) + +3.4 BPF_{PROG,MAP}_GET_NEXT_ID + +In kernel, every loaded program, map or btf has a unique id. +The id won't change during the life time of the program, map or btf. + +The bpf syscall command BPF_{PROG,MAP}_GET_NEXT_ID +returns all id's, one for each command, to user space, for bpf +program or maps, +so the inspection tool can inspect all programs and maps. + +3.5 BPF_{PROG,MAP}_GET_FD_BY_ID + +The introspection tool cannot use id to get details about program or maps. +A file descriptor needs to be obtained first for reference counting purpose. + +3.6 BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD +========================== + +Once a program/map fd is acquired, the introspection tool can +get the detailed information from kernel about this fd, +some of which is btf related. For example, +``bpf_map_info`` returns ``btf_id``, key/value type id. +``bpf_prog_info`` returns ``btf_id``, func_info and line info +for translated bpf byte codes, and jited_line_info. + +3.7 BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID +======================== + +With ``btf_id`` obtained in ``bpf_map_info`` and ``bpf_prog_info``, +bpf syscall command BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID can retrieve a btf fd. +Then, with command BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD, the btf blob, originally +loaded into the kernel with BPF_BTF_LOAD, can be retrieved. + +With the btf blob, ``bpf_map_info`` and ``bpf_prog_info``, the introspection +tool has full btf knowledge and is able to pretty print map key/values, +dump func signatures, dump line info along with byte/jit codes. + +4. ELF File Format Interface +**************************** + +4.1 .BTF section +================ + +The .BTF section contains type and string data. The format of this section +is same as the one describe in :ref:`BTF_Type_String`. + +.. _BTF_Ext_Section: + +4.2 .BTF.ext section +==================== + +The .BTF.ext section encodes func_info and line_info which +needs loader manipulation before loading into the kernel. + +The specification for .BTF.ext section is defined at +``tools/lib/bpf/btf.h`` and ``tools/lib/bpf/btf.c``. + +The current header of .BTF.ext section:: + + struct btf_ext_header { + __u16 magic; + __u8 version; + __u8 flags; + __u32 hdr_len; + + /* All offsets are in bytes relative to the end of this header */ + __u32 func_info_off; + __u32 func_info_len; + __u32 line_info_off; + __u32 line_info_len; + }; + +It is very similar to .BTF section. Instead of type/string section, +it contains func_info and line_info section. See :ref:`BPF_Prog_Load` +for details about func_info and line_info record format. + +The func_info is organized as below.:: + + func_info_rec_size + btf_ext_info_sec for section #1 /* func_info for section #1 */ + btf_ext_info_sec for section #2 /* func_info for section #2 */ + ... + +``func_info_rec_size`` specifies the size of ``bpf_func_info`` structure +when .BTF.ext is generated. btf_ext_info_sec, defined below, is +the func_info for each specific ELF section.:: + + struct btf_ext_info_sec { + __u32 sec_name_off; /* offset to section name */ + __u32 num_info; + /* Followed by num_info * record_size number of bytes */ + __u8 data[0]; + }; + +Here, num_info must be greater than 0. + +The line_info is organized as below.:: + + line_info_rec_size + btf_ext_info_sec for section #1 /* line_info for section #1 */ + btf_ext_info_sec for section #2 /* line_info for section #2 */ + ... + +``line_info_rec_size`` specifies the size of ``bpf_line_info`` structure +when .BTF.ext is generated. + +The interpretation of ``bpf_func_info->insn_off`` and +``bpf_line_info->insn_off`` is different between kernel API and ELF API. +For kernel API, the ``insn_off`` is the instruction offset in the unit +of ``struct bpf_insn``. For ELF API, the ``insn_off`` is the byte offset +from the beginning of section (``btf_ext_info_sec->sec_name_off``). + +5. Using BTF +************ + +5.1 bpftool map pretty print +============================ + +With BTF, the map key/value can be printed based on fields rather than +simply raw bytes. This is especially +valuable for large structure or if you data structure +has bitfields.

Due to this design decision, a 1.5ns to 2ns delay must be added +between the clock line (RXC or TXC) and the data lines to let the PHY (clock +sink) have enough setup and hold times to sample the data lines correctly. The +PHY library offers different types of PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII* values to let +the PHY driver and optionally the MAC driver, implement the required delay. The +values of phy_interface_t must be understood from the perspective of the PHY +device itself, leading to the following: + +* PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII: the PHY is not responsible for inserting any + internal delay by itself, it assumes that either the Ethernet MAC (if capable + or the PCB traces) insert the correct 1.5-2ns delay + +* PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_TXID: the PHY should insert an internal delay + for the transmit data lines (TXD[3:0]) processed by the PHY device + +* PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID: the PHY should insert an internal delay + for the receive data lines (RXD[3:0]) processed by the PHY device + +* PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID: the PHY should insert internal delays for + both transmit AND receive data lines from/to the PHY device + +Whenever possible, use the PHY side RGMII delay for these reasons: + +* PHY devices may offer sub-nanosecond granularity in how they allow a + receiver/transmitter side delay (e.g: 0.5, 1.0, 1.5ns) to be specified. Such + precision may be required to account for differences in PCB trace lengths + +* PHY devices are typically qualified for a large range of applications + (industrial, medical, automotive...), and they provide a constant and + reliable delay across temperature/pressure/voltage ranges + +* PHY device drivers in PHYLIB being reusable by nature, being able to + configure correctly a specified delay enables more designs with similar delay + requirements to be operate correctly + +For cases where the PHY is not capable of providing this delay, but the +Ethernet MAC driver is capable of doing so, the correct phy_interface_t value +should be PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII, and the Ethernet MAC driver should be +configured correctly in order to provide the required transmit and/or receive +side delay from the perspective of the PHY device. Conversely, if the Ethernet +MAC driver looks at the phy_interface_t value, for any other mode but +PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII, it should make sure that the MAC-level delays are +disabled. + +In case neither the Ethernet MAC, nor the PHY are capable of providing the +required delays, as defined per the RGMII standard, several options may be +available: + +* Some SoCs may offer a pin pad/mux/controller capable of configuring a given + set of pins'strength, delays, and voltage; and it may be a suitable + option to insert the expected 2ns RGMII delay. + +* Modifying the PCB design to include a fixed delay (e.g: using a specifically + designed serpentine), which may not require software configuration at all. + +Common problems with RGMII delay mismatch +----------------------------------------- + +When there is a RGMII delay mismatch between the Ethernet MAC and the PHY, this +will most likely result in the clock and data line signals to be unstable when +the PHY or MAC take a snapshot of these signals to translate them into logical +1 or 0 states and reconstruct the data being transmitted/received. Typical +symptoms include: + +* Transmission/reception partially works, and there is frequent or occasional + packet loss observed + +* Ethernet MAC may report some or all packets ingressing with a FCS/CRC error, + or just discard them all + +* Switching to lower speeds such as 10/100Mbits/sec makes the problem go away + (since there is enough setup/hold time in that case) + +Connecting to a PHY +=================== + +Sometime during startup, the network driver needs to establish a connection +between the PHY device, and the network device. At this time, the PHY's bus +and drivers need to all have been loaded, so it is ready for the connection. +At this point, there are several ways to connect to the PHY: + +#. The PAL handles everything, and only calls the network driver when + the link state changes, so it can react. + +#. The PAL handles everything except interrupts (usually because the + controller has the interrupt registers). + +#. The PAL handles everything, but checks in with the driver every second, + allowing the network driver to react first to any changes before the PAL + does. + +#. The PAL serves only as a library of functions, with the network device + manually calling functions to update status, and configure the PHY + + +Letting the PHY Abstraction Layer do Everything +=============================================== + +If you choose option 1 (The hope is that every driver can, but to still be +useful to drivers that can't), connecting to the PHY is simple: + +First, you need a function to react to changes in the link state. This +function follows this protocol:: + + static void adjust_link(struct net_device *dev); + +Next, you need to know the device name of the PHY connected to this device. +The name will look something like, "0:00", where the first number is the +bus id, and the second is the PHY's address on that bus. Typically, +the bus is responsible for making its ID unique. + +Now, to connect, just call this function:: + + phydev = phy_connect(dev, phy_name, &adjust_link, interface); + +*phydev* is a pointer to the phy_device structure which represents the PHY. +If phy_connect is successful, it will return the pointer. dev, here, is the +pointer to your net_device. Once done, this function will have started the +PHY's software state machine, and registered for the PHY's interrupt, if it +has one. The phydev structure will be populated with information about the +current state, though the PHY will not yet be truly operational at this +point. + +PHY-specific flags should be set in phydev->dev_flags prior to the call +to phy_connect() such that the underlying PHY driver can check for flags +and perform specific operations based on them. +This is useful if the system has put hardware restrictions on +the PHY/controller, of which the PHY needs to be aware. + +*interface* is a u32 which specifies the connection type used +between the controller and the PHY. Examples are GMII, MII, +RGMII, and SGMII. For a full list, see include/linux/phy.h + +Now just make sure that phydev->supported and phydev->advertising have any +values pruned from them which don't make sense for your controller (a 10/100 +controller may be connected to a gigabit capable PHY, so you would need to +mask off SUPPORTED_1000baseT*). See include/linux/ethtool.h for definitions +for these bitfields. Note that you should not SET any bits, except the +SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_AsymPause bits (see below), or the PHY may get +put into an unsupported state. + +Lastly, once the controller is ready to handle network traffic, you call +phy_start(phydev). This tells the PAL that you are ready, and configures the +PHY to connect to the network. If the MAC interrupt of your network driver +also handles PHY status changes, just set phydev->irq to PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT +before you call phy_start and use phy_mac_interrupt() from the network +driver. If you don't want to use interrupts, set phydev->irq to PHY_POLL. +phy_start() enables the PHY interrupts (if applicable) and starts the +phylib state machine. + +When you want to disconnect from the network (even if just briefly), you call +phy_stop(phydev). This function also stops the phylib state machine and +disables PHY interrupts. + +Pause frames / flow control +=========================== + +The PHY does not participate directly in flow control/pause frames except by +making sure that the SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_AsymPause bits are set in +MII_ADVERTISE to indicate towards the link partner that the Ethernet MAC +controller supports such a thing. Since flow control/pause frames generation +involves the Ethernet MAC driver, it is recommended that this driver takes care +of properly indicating advertisement and support for such features by setting +the SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_AsymPause bits accordingly. This can be done +either before or after phy_connect() and/or as a result of implementing the +ethtool::set_pauseparam feature. + + +Keeping Close Tabs on the PAL +============================= + +It is possible that the PAL's built-in state machine needs a little help to +keep your network device and the PHY properly in sync. If so, you can +register a helper function when connecting to the PHY, which will be called +every second before the state machine reacts to any changes. To do this, you +need to manually call phy_attach() and phy_prepare_link(), and then call +phy_start_machine() with the second argument set to point to your special +handler. + +Currently there are no examples of how to use this functionality, and testing +on it has been limited because the author does not have any drivers which use +it (they all use option 1). So Caveat Emptor. + +Doing it all yourself +===================== + +There's a remote chance that the PAL's built-in state machine cannot track +the complex interactions between the PHY and your network device. If this is +so, you can simply call phy_attach(), and not call phy_start_machine or +phy_prepare_link(). This will mean that phydev->state is entirely yours to +handle (phy_start and phy_stop toggle between some of the states, so you +might need to avoid them). + +An effort has been made to make sure that useful functionality can be +accessed without the state-machine running, and most of these functions are +descended from functions which did not interact with a complex state-machine. +However, again, no effort has been made so far to test running without the +state machine, so tryer beware. + +Here is a brief rundown of the functions:: + + int phy_read(struct phy_device *phydev, u16 regnum); + int phy_write(struct phy_device *phydev, u16 regnum, u16 val); + +Simple read/write primitives. They invoke the bus's read/write function +pointers. +:: + + void phy_print_status(struct phy_device *phydev); + +A convenience function to print out the PHY status neatly. +:: + + void phy_request_interrupt(struct phy_device *phydev); + +Requests the IRQ for the PHY interrupts. +:: + + struct phy_device * phy_attach(struct net_device *dev, const char *phy_id, + phy_interface_t interface); + +Attaches a network device to a particular PHY, binding the PHY to a generic +driver if none was found during bus initialization. +:: + + int phy_start_aneg(struct phy_device *phydev); + +Using variables inside the phydev structure, either configures advertising +and resets autonegotiation, or disables autonegotiation, and configures +forced settings. +:: + + static inline int phy_read_status(struct phy_device *phydev); + +Fills the phydev structure with up-to-date information about the current +settings in the PHY. +:: + + int phy_ethtool_sset(struct phy_device *phydev, struct ethtool_cmd *cmd); + +Ethtool convenience functions. +:: + + int phy_mii_ioctl(struct phy_device *phydev, + struct mii_ioctl_data *mii_data, int cmd); + +The MII ioctl. Note that this function will completely screw up the state +machine if you write registers like BMCR, BMSR, ADVERTISE, etc. Best to +use this only to write registers which are not standard, and don't set off +a renegotiation. + +PHY Device Drivers +================== + +With the PHY Abstraction Layer, adding support for new PHYs is +quite easy. In some cases, no work is required at all! However, +many PHYs require a little hand-holding to get up-and-running. + +Generic PHY driver +------------------ + +If the desired PHY doesn't have any errata, quirks, or special +features you want to support, then it may be best to not add +support, and let the PHY Abstraction Layer's Generic PHY Driver +do all of the work. + +Writing a PHY driver +-------------------- + +If you do need to write a PHY driver, the first thing to do is +make sure it can be matched with an appropriate PHY device. +This is done during bus initialization by reading the device's +UID (stored in registers 2 and 3), then comparing it to each +driver's phy_id field by ANDing it with each driver's +phy_id_mask field. Also, it needs a name. Here's an example:: + + static struct phy_driver dm9161_driver = { + .phy_id = 0x0181b880, + .name = "Davicom DM9161E", + .phy_id_mask = 0x0ffffff0, + ... + } + +Next, you need to specify what features (speed, duplex, autoneg, +etc) your PHY device and driver support. Most PHYs support +PHY_BASIC_FEATURES, but you can look in include/mii.h for other +features. + +Each driver consists of a number of function pointers, documented +in include/linux/phy.h under the phy_driver structure. + +Of these, only config_aneg and read_status are required to be +assigned by the driver code. The rest are optional. Also, it is +preferred to use the generic phy driver's versions of these two +functions if at all possible: genphy_read_status and +genphy_config_aneg. If this is not possible, it is likely that +you only need to perform some actions before and after invoking +these functions, and so your functions will wrap the generic +ones. + +Feel free to look at the Marvell, Cicada, and Davicom drivers in +drivers/net/phy/ for examples (the lxt and qsemi drivers have +not been tested as of this writing). + +The PHY's MMD register accesses are handled by the PAL framework +by default, but can be overridden by a specific PHY driver if +required. This could be the case if a PHY was released for +manufacturing before the MMD PHY register definitions were +standardized by the IEEE. Most modern PHYs will be able to use +the generic PAL framework for accessing the PHY's MMD registers. +An example of such usage is for Energy Efficient Ethernet support, +implemented in the PAL. This support uses the PAL to access MMD +registers for EEE query and configuration if the PHY supports +the IEEE standard access mechanisms, or can use the PHY's specific +access interfaces if overridden by the specific PHY driver.

The PHY concerns itself with negotiating link parameters with the link - partner on the other side of the network connection (typically, an ethernet - cable), and provides a register interface to allow drivers to determine what - settings were chosen, and to configure what settings are allowed. - - While these devices are distinct from the network devices, and conform to a - standard layout for the registers, it has been common practice to integrate - the PHY management code with the network driver. This has resulted in large - amounts of redundant code. Also, on embedded systems with multiple (and - sometimes quite different) ethernet controllers connected to the same - management bus, it is difficult to ensure safe use of the bus. - - Since the PHYs are devices, and the management busses through which they are - accessed are, in fact, busses, the PHY Abstraction Layer treats them as such. - In doing so, it has these goals: - - 1) Increase code-reuse - 2) Increase overall code-maintainability - 3) Speed development time for new network drivers, and for new systems - - Basically, this layer is meant to provide an interface to PHY devices which - allows network driver writers to write as little code as possible, while - still providing a full feature set. - -The MDIO bus - - Most network devices are connected to a PHY by means of a management bus. - Different devices use different busses (though some share common interfaces). - In order to take advantage of the PAL, each bus interface needs to be - registered as a distinct device. - - 1) read and write functions must be implemented. Their prototypes are: - - int write(struct mii_bus *bus, int mii_id, int regnum, u16 value); - int read(struct mii_bus *bus, int mii_id, int regnum); - - mii_id is the address on the bus for the PHY, and regnum is the register - number. These functions are guaranteed not to be called from interrupt - time, so it is safe for them to block, waiting for an interrupt to signal - the operation is complete - - 2) A reset function is optional. This is used to return the bus to an - initialized state. - - 3) A probe function is needed. This function should set up anything the bus - driver needs, setup the mii_bus structure, and register with the PAL using - mdiobus_register. Similarly, there's a remove function to undo all of - that (use mdiobus_unregister). - - 4) Like any driver, the device_driver structure must be configured, and init - exit functions are used to register the driver. - - 5) The bus must also be declared somewhere as a device, and registered. - - As an example for how one driver implemented an mdio bus driver, see - drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fsl_pq_mdio.c and an associated DTS file - for one of the users. (e.g. "git grep fsl,.*-mdio arch/powerpc/boot/dts/") - -(RG)MII/electrical interface considerations - - The Reduced Gigabit Medium Independent Interface (RGMII) is a 12-pin - electrical signal interface using a synchronous 125Mhz clock signal and several - data lines. Due to this design decision, a 1.5ns to 2ns delay must be added - between the clock line (RXC or TXC) and the data lines to let the PHY (clock - sink) have enough setup and hold times to sample the data lines correctly. The - PHY library offers different types of PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII* values to let - the PHY driver and optionally the MAC driver, implement the required delay. The - values of phy_interface_t must be understood from the perspective of the PHY - device itself, leading to the following: - - * PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII: the PHY is not responsible for inserting any - internal delay by itself, it assumes that either the Ethernet MAC (if capable - or the PCB traces) insert the correct 1.5-2ns delay - - * PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_TXID: the PHY should insert an internal delay - for the transmit data lines (TXD[3:0]) processed by the PHY device - - * PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID: the PHY should insert an internal delay - for the receive data lines (RXD[3:0]) processed by the PHY device - - * PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID: the PHY should insert internal delays for - both transmit AND receive data lines from/to the PHY device - - Whenever possible, use the PHY side RGMII delay for these reasons: - - * PHY devices may offer sub-nanosecond granularity in how they allow a - receiver/transmitter side delay (e.g: 0.5, 1.0, 1.5ns) to be specified. Such - precision may be required to account for differences in PCB trace lengths - - * PHY devices are typically qualified for a large range of applications - (industrial, medical, automotive...), and they provide a constant and - reliable delay across temperature/pressure/voltage ranges - - * PHY device drivers in PHYLIB being reusable by nature, being able to - configure correctly a specified delay enables more designs with similar delay - requirements to be operate correctly - - For cases where the PHY is not capable of providing this delay, but the - Ethernet MAC driver is capable of doing so, the correct phy_interface_t value - should be PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII, and the Ethernet MAC driver should be - configured correctly in order to provide the required transmit and/or receive - side delay from the perspective of the PHY device. Conversely, if the Ethernet - MAC driver looks at the phy_interface_t value, for any other mode but - PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII, it should make sure that the MAC-level delays are - disabled. - - In case neither the Ethernet MAC, nor the PHY are capable of providing the - required delays, as defined per the RGMII standard, several options may be - available: - - * Some SoCs may offer a pin pad/mux/controller capable of configuring a given - set of pins'strength, delays, and voltage; and it may be a suitable - option to insert the expected 2ns RGMII delay. - - * Modifying the PCB design to include a fixed delay (e.g: using a specifically - designed serpentine), which may not require software configuration at all. - -Common problems with RGMII delay mismatch - - When there is a RGMII delay mismatch between the Ethernet MAC and the PHY, this - will most likely result in the clock and data line signals to be unstable when - the PHY or MAC take a snapshot of these signals to translate them into logical - 1 or 0 states and reconstruct the data being transmitted/received. Typical - symptoms include: - - * Transmission/reception partially works, and there is frequent or occasional - packet loss observed - - * Ethernet MAC may report some or all packets ingressing with a FCS/CRC error, - or just discard them all - - * Switching to lower speeds such as 10/100Mbits/sec makes the problem go away - (since there is enough setup/hold time in that case) - - -Connecting to a PHY - - Sometime during startup, the network driver needs to establish a connection - between the PHY device, and the network device. At this time, the PHY's bus - and drivers need to all have been loaded, so it is ready for the connection. - At this point, there are several ways to connect to the PHY: - - 1) The PAL handles everything, and only calls the network driver when - the link state changes, so it can react. - - 2) The PAL handles everything except interrupts (usually because the - controller has the interrupt registers). - - 3) The PAL handles everything, but checks in with the driver every second, - allowing the network driver to react first to any changes before the PAL - does. - - 4) The PAL serves only as a library of functions, with the network device - manually calling functions to update status, and configure the PHY - - -Letting the PHY Abstraction Layer do Everything - - If you choose option 1 (The hope is that every driver can, but to still be - useful to drivers that can't), connecting to the PHY is simple: - - First, you need a function to react to changes in the link state. This - function follows this protocol: - - static void adjust_link(struct net_device *dev); - - Next, you need to know the device name of the PHY connected to this device. - The name will look something like, "0:00", where the first number is the - bus id, and the second is the PHY's address on that bus. Typically, - the bus is responsible for making its ID unique. - - Now, to connect, just call this function: - - phydev = phy_connect(dev, phy_name, &adjust_link, interface); - - phydev is a pointer to the phy_device structure which represents the PHY. If - phy_connect is successful, it will return the pointer. dev, here, is the - pointer to your net_device. Once done, this function will have started the - PHY's software state machine, and registered for the PHY's interrupt, if it - has one. The phydev structure will be populated with information about the - current state, though the PHY will not yet be truly operational at this - point. - - PHY-specific flags should be set in phydev->dev_flags prior to the call - to phy_connect() such that the underlying PHY driver can check for flags - and perform specific operations based on them. - This is useful if the system has put hardware restrictions on - the PHY/controller, of which the PHY needs to be aware. - - interface is a u32 which specifies the connection type used - between the controller and the PHY. Examples are GMII, MII, - RGMII, and SGMII. For a full list, see include/linux/phy.h - - Now just make sure that phydev->supported and phydev->advertising have any - values pruned from them which don't make sense for your controller (a 10/100 - controller may be connected to a gigabit capable PHY, so you would need to - mask off SUPPORTED_1000baseT*). See include/linux/ethtool.h for definitions - for these bitfields. Note that you should not SET any bits, except the - SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_AsymPause bits (see below), or the PHY may get - put into an unsupported state. - - Lastly, once the controller is ready to handle network traffic, you call - phy_start(phydev). This tells the PAL that you are ready, and configures the - PHY to connect to the network. If you want to handle your own interrupts, - just set phydev->irq to PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT before you call phy_start. - Similarly, if you don't want to use interrupts, set phydev->irq to PHY_POLL. - - When you want to disconnect from the network (even if just briefly), you call - phy_stop(phydev). - -Pause frames / flow control - - The PHY does not participate directly in flow control/pause frames except by - making sure that the SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_AsymPause bits are set in - MII_ADVERTISE to indicate towards the link partner that the Ethernet MAC - controller supports such a thing. Since flow control/pause frames generation - involves the Ethernet MAC driver, it is recommended that this driver takes care - of properly indicating advertisement and support for such features by setting - the SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_AsymPause bits accordingly. This can be done - either before or after phy_connect() and/or as a result of implementing the - ethtool::set_pauseparam feature. - - -Keeping Close Tabs on the PAL - - It is possible that the PAL's built-in state machine needs a little help to - keep your network device and the PHY properly in sync. If so, you can - register a helper function when connecting to the PHY, which will be called - every second before the state machine reacts to any changes. To do this, you - need to manually call phy_attach() and phy_prepare_link(), and then call - phy_start_machine() with the second argument set to point to your special - handler. - - Currently there are no examples of how to use this functionality, and testing - on it has been limited because the author does not have any drivers which use - it (they all use option 1). So Caveat Emptor. - -Doing it all yourself - - There's a remote chance that the PAL's built-in state machine cannot track - the complex interactions between the PHY and your network device. If this is - so, you can simply call phy_attach(), and not call phy_start_machine or - phy_prepare_link(). This will mean that phydev->state is entirely yours to - handle (phy_start and phy_stop toggle between some of the states, so you - might need to avoid them). - - An effort has been made to make sure that useful functionality can be - accessed without the state-machine running, and most of these functions are - descended from functions which did not interact with a complex state-machine. - However, again, no effort has been made so far to test running without the - state machine, so tryer beware. - - Here is a brief rundown of the functions: - - int phy_read(struct phy_device *phydev, u16 regnum); - int phy_write(struct phy_device *phydev, u16 regnum, u16 val); - - Simple read/write primitives. They invoke the bus's read/write function - pointers. - - void phy_print_status(struct phy_device *phydev); - - A convenience function to print out the PHY status neatly. - - int phy_start_interrupts(struct phy_device *phydev); - int phy_stop_interrupts(struct phy_device *phydev); - - Requests the IRQ for the PHY interrupts, then enables them for - start, or disables then frees them for stop. - - struct phy_device * phy_attach(struct net_device *dev, const char *phy_id, - phy_interface_t interface); - - Attaches a network device to a particular PHY, binding the PHY to a generic - driver if none was found during bus initialization. - - int phy_start_aneg(struct phy_device *phydev); - - Using variables inside the phydev structure, either configures advertising - and resets autonegotiation, or disables autonegotiation, and configures - forced settings. - - static inline int phy_read_status(struct phy_device *phydev); - - Fills the phydev structure with up-to-date information about the current - settings in the PHY. - - int phy_ethtool_sset(struct phy_device *phydev, struct ethtool_cmd *cmd); - - Ethtool convenience functions. - - int phy_mii_ioctl(struct phy_device *phydev, - struct mii_ioctl_data *mii_data, int cmd); - - The MII ioctl. Note that this function will completely screw up the state - machine if you write registers like BMCR, BMSR, ADVERTISE, etc. Best to - use this only to write registers which are not standard, and don't set off - a renegotiation. - - -PHY Device Drivers - - With the PHY Abstraction Layer, adding support for new PHYs is - quite easy. In some cases, no work is required at all! However, - many PHYs require a little hand-holding to get up-and-running. - -Generic PHY driver - - If the desired PHY doesn't have any errata, quirks, or special - features you want to support, then it may be best to not add - support, and let the PHY Abstraction Layer's Generic PHY Driver - do all of the work. - -Writing a PHY driver - - If you do need to write a PHY driver, the first thing to do is - make sure it can be matched with an appropriate PHY device. - This is done during bus initialization by reading the device's - UID (stored in registers 2 and 3), then comparing it to each - driver's phy_id field by ANDing it with each driver's - phy_id_mask field. Also, it needs a name. Here's an example: - - static struct phy_driver dm9161_driver = { - .phy_id = 0x0181b880, - .name = "Davicom DM9161E", - .phy_id_mask = 0x0ffffff0, - ... - } - - Next, you need to specify what features (speed, duplex, autoneg, - etc) your PHY device and driver support. Most PHYs support - PHY_BASIC_FEATURES, but you can look in include/mii.h for other - features. - - Each driver consists of a number of function pointers, documented - in include/linux/phy.h under the phy_driver structure. - - Of these, only config_aneg and read_status are required to be - assigned by the driver code. The rest are optional. Also, it is - preferred to use the generic phy driver's versions of these two - functions if at all possible: genphy_read_status and - genphy_config_aneg. If this is not possible, it is likely that - you only need to perform some actions before and after invoking - these functions, and so your functions will wrap the generic - ones. - - Feel free to look at the Marvell, Cicada, and Davicom drivers in - drivers/net/phy/ for examples (the lxt and qsemi drivers have - not been tested as of this writing). - - The PHY's MMD register accesses are handled by the PAL framework - by default, but can be overridden by a specific PHY driver if - required. This could be the case if a PHY was released for - manufacturing before the MMD PHY register definitions were - standardized by the IEEE. Most modern PHYs will be able to use - the generic PAL framework for accessing the PHY's MMD registers. - An example of such usage is for Energy Efficient Ethernet support, - implemented in the PAL. This support uses the PAL to access MMD - registers for EEE query and configuration if the PHY supports - the IEEE standard access mechanisms, or can use the PHY's specific - access interfaces if overridden by the specific PHY driver. See - the Micrel driver in drivers/net/phy/ for an example of how this - can be implemented. - -Board Fixups - - Sometimes the specific interaction between the platform and the PHY requires - special handling.
