This device is supposed to be used in microvm and ISA-PC machine types,
and we assume that if we are able to probe for the QEMU BGA version of
0xB0C5, then we have an existing ISA Bochs VGA adapter to utilize.
To ensure we don't instantiate the driver for non isa-vga devices, we
try to ensure that PCI is disabled because hardware IO test probe failed
so we can be sure that we use this special handling code only in the
QEMU microvm and ISA-PC machine types. Unfortunately, this means that if
for some reason the isa-vga device is attached for the i440FX or Q35
machine types, we simply are not able to drive the device in such setups
at all.
To determine the amount of VRAM being available, we read VBE register at
offset 0xA. That register holds the amount of VRAM divided by 64K, so we
need to multiply the value in our code to use the actual VRAM size value
again.
The isa-vga device requires us to hardcode the framebuffer physical
address to 0xE0000000, and that address is not expected to change in the
future as many other projects rely on the isa-vga framebuffer to be
present at that physical memory address.
The simple PCI::HostBridge class implements access to the PCI
configuration space by using x86 IO instructions. Therefore, it should
be put in the Arch/x86/PCI directory so it can be easily omitted for
non-x86 builds.
All users which relied on the default constructor use a None lock rank
for now. This will make it easier to in the future remove LockRank and
actually annotate the ranks by searching for None.
Instead, hold the lock while we copy the contents to a stack-based
Vector then iterate on it without any locking.
Because we rely on heap allocations, we need to propagate errors back
in case of OOM condition, therefore, both PCI::enumerate API function
and PCI::Access::add_host_controller_and_enumerate_attached_devices use
now a ErrorOr<void> return value to propagate errors. OOM Error can only
occur when enumerating the m_device_identifiers vector under a spinlock
and trying to expand the temporary Vector which will be used locklessly
to actually iterate over the PCI::DeviceIdentifiers objects.
To declare that we don't have a PCI bus in the system we do two things:
1. Probe IO ports before enabling access -
In case we are using the QEMU ISA-PC machine type, IO probing results in
floating bus condition (returning 0xFF values), thus, we know we don't
have PCI bus on the system.
2. Allow the user to specify to not use the PCI bus at all in the kernel
commandline.
Two classes are added - HostBridge and MemoryBackedHostBridge, which
both derive from HostController class. This allows the kernel to map
different busses from different PCI domains in the same time. Each
HostController implementation doesn't take the Address object to address
PCI devices but instead we take distinct numbers of the PCI bus, device
and function as it allows us to specify arbitrary PCI domains in the
Address structure and still to get the correct PCI devices. This also
matches the hardware behavior of PCI domains - the host bridge merely
takes memory operations or IO operations and translates them to
addressing of three components - PCI bus, device and function.
These changes also greatly simplify how enumeration of Host Bridges work
now - scanning of the hardware depends on what the Host bridges can do
for us, so in case we have multiple host bridges that expose a memory
mapped region or IO ports to access PCI configuration space, we simply
let the code of the host bridge to figure out how to fetch data for us.
Another semantical change is that a PCI domain structure is no longer
attached to a PhysicalAddress, so even in the case that the machine
doesn't implement PCI domains, we still treat that machine to contain 1
PCI domain to treat that one host bridge in the same way, like with a
machine with one or more PCI domains.
Instead, just ensure we pick the m_access_lock and then m_scan_lock when
doing a scan/re-scan of the PCI configuration space so we know nobody
can actually access the PCI configuration space during the scan.
The m_scan_lock is now a Spinlock, to ensure we cannot yield to other
process while we do the PCI configuration space scanning.
A couple of things were changed:
1. Semantic changes - PCI segments are now called PCI domains, to better
match what they are really. It's also the name that Linux gave, and it
seems that Wikipedia also uses this name.
We also remove PCI::ChangeableAddress, because it was used in the past
but now it's no longer being used.
2. There are no WindowedMMIOAccess or MMIOAccess classes anymore, as
they made a bunch of unnecessary complexity. Instead, Windowed access is
removed entirely (this was tested, but never was benchmarked), so we are
left with IO access and memory access options. The memory access option
is essentially mapping the PCI bus (from the chosen PCI domain), to
virtual memory as-is. This means that unless needed, at any time, there
is only one PCI bus being mapped, and this is changed if access to
another PCI bus in the same PCI domain is needed. For now, we don't
support mapping of different PCI buses from different PCI domains at the
same time, because basically it's still a non-issue for most machines
out there.
2. OOM-safety is increased, especially when constructing the Access
object. It means that we pre-allocating any needed resources, and we try
to find PCI domains (if requested to initialize memory access) after we
attempt to construct the Access object, so it's possible to fail at this
point "gracefully".
3. All PCI API functions are now separated into a different header file,
which means only "clients" of the PCI subsystem API will need to include
that header file.
4. Functional changes - we only allow now to enumerate the bus after
a hardware scan. This means that the old method "enumerate_hardware"
is removed, so, when initializing an Access object, the initializing
function must call rescan on it to force it to find devices. This makes
it possible to fail rescan, and also to defer it after construction from
both OOM-safety terms and hotplug capabilities.
There's no need for generated files in SysFS to tell you their precise
file size when you stat() them.
I noticed when profiling "find /" that we were spending a chunk of time
generating and throwing away SysFS content just so we could tell you
exactly how large it would be. :^)
