.Sh DESCRIPTION
Upgradable firmware modules (UFM) are a potential component of many
devices.
These interfaces aim to provide a simple series of callbacks
for a device driver to implement such that it is easy to report
information and in the future, manipulate firmware modules.
.Ss UFM Background
UFMs may come in different flavors and styles ranging from a
firmware blob, to an EEPROM image, to microcode, and more.
Take for example a hard drive.
While it is a field replaceable unit (FRU), it also contains some amount
of firmware that manages the drive which can be updated independently of
replacing the drive.
.Pp
The motherboard often has a UFM in the form of the BIOS or UEFI.
The Lights out management controller on a system has a UFM, which is usually
the entire system image.
CPUs also have a UFM in the form of microcode.
.Pp
An important property of a UFM is that it is a property of the device
itself.
For example, many WiFi device drivers are required to send a binary blob of
firmware to the device after every reset.
Because these images are not properties of the device and must be upgraded by
either changing the device driver or related system files, we do not consider
these UFMs.
.Pp
There are also devices that have firmware which is a property of the
device, but may not be upgradable from the running OS.
This may be because the vendor doesn't have tooling to upgrade the image or
because the firmware image itself cannot be upgraded in the field at all.
For example, a YubiKey has a firmware image that's burned into it in the
factory, but there is no way to change the firmware on it short of
replacing the device in its entirety.
However, because these images are a permanent part of the device, we also
consider them a UFM.
.Ss Images and Slots
A device that supports UFMs is made up of one or more distinct firmware
images.
Each image has its own unique purpose.
For example, a motherboard may have both a BIOS and a CPLD image, each of which
has independent firmware revisions.
.Pp
A given image may have a number of slots.
A slot represents a particular version of the image.
Only one slot can be active at a given time.
Devices support slots such that a firmware image can be downloaded
to the device without impacting the current device if it fails half-way
through.
The slot that's currently in use is referred to as the
.Em active
slot.
.Pp
The various entry points are designed such that all a driver has to do
is provide information about the image and its slots to the kernel, it
does not have to wrangle with how that is marshalled to users and the
appearance of those structures.
.Ss Registering with the UFM Subsystem
During a device driver's
.Xr attach 9E
entry point, a device driver should register with the UFM subsystem by
filling out a UFM operations vector and then calling
.Xr ddi_ufm_init 9F .
The driver may pass in a value, usually a pointer to its soft state
pointer, which it will then receive when its subsequent entry points are
called.
.Pp
Once the driver has finished initializing, it must call
.Xr ddi_ufm_update 9F
to indicate that the driver is in a state where it's ready to receive
calls to the entry points.
.Pp
The various UFM entry points may be called from an arbitrary kernel
context.
However, they will only ever be called from a single thread at
a given time.
.Ss UFM operations vector
The UFM operations vector is a structure that has the following members:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
typedef struct ddi_ufm_ops {
	int (*ddi_ufm_op_nimages)(ddi_ufm_handle_t *uhp, void *arg,
	    uint_t *nimgp);
	int (*ddi_ufm_op_fill_image)(ddi_ufm_handle_t *uhp, void *arg,
            uint_t imgid, ddi_ufm_image_t *img);
	int (*ddi_ufm_op_fill_slot)(ddi_ufm_handle_t *uhp, void *arg,
            int imgid, ddi_ufm_image_t *img, uint_t slotid,
	    ddi_ufm_slot_t *slotp);
	int (*ddi_ufm_op_getcaps)(ddi_ufm_handle_t *uhp, void *arg,
	    ddi_ufm_cap_t *caps);
} ddi_ufm_ops_t;
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Fn ddi_ufm_op_nimages
entry point is optional.
If a device only has a single image, then there is no reason to implement the
.Fn ddi_ufm_op_nimages entry point.
The system will assume that there is only a single image.
.Pp
Slots and images are numbered starting at zero.
If a driver indicates support for multiple images or slots then the images
or slots will be numbered sequentially going from 0 to the number of images or
slots minus one.
These values will be passed to the various entry points to indicate which image
and slot the system is interested in.
It is up to the driver to maintain a consistent view of the images and slots
for a given UFM.
.Pp
The members of this structure should be filled in the following ways:
.Bl -tag -width Fn
.It Fn ddi_ufm_op_nimages
The
.Fn ddi_ufm_op_nimages
entry point is an optional entry point that answers the question of how
many different, distinct firmware images are present on the device.
Once the driver determines how many are present, it should set the value in
.Fa nimgp to the determined value.
.Pp
It is legal for a device to pass in zero for this value, which indicates
that there are none present.
.Pp
Upon successful completion, the driver should return
.Sy 0 .
Otherwise, the driver should return the appropriate error number.
For a full list of error numbers, see
.Xr Intro 2 .
Common values are:
.Bl -tag -width Er -offset width
.It Er EIO
An error occurred while communicating with the device to determine the
number of firmware images.
.El
.It Fn ddi_ufm_op_fill_image
The
.Fn ddi_ufm_op_fill_image
entry point is used to fill in information about a given image.
The value in
.Fa imgid
is used to indicate which image the system is asking to fill
information about.
If the driver does not recognize the image ID in
.Fa imgid
then it should return an error.
.Pp
The
.Ft ddi_ufm_image_t
structure passed in
.Fa uip
is opaque.
To fill in information about the image, the driver should call the functions
described in
.Xr ddi_ufm_image 9F .
.Pp
The driver should call the
.Xr ddi_ufm_image_set_desc 9F
function to set a description of the image which indicates its purpose.
This should be a human-readable string.
The driver may also set any ancillary data that it deems may be useful with the
.Xr ddi_ufm_image_set_misc 9F function.
This function takes an nvlist, allowing the driver to set arbitrary keys and values.
.Pp
Once the driver has finished setting all of the information about the
image then the driver should return
.Sy 0 .
Otherwise, the driver should return the appropriate error number.
For a full list of error numbers, see
.Xr Intro 2 .
Common values are:
.Bl -tag -width Er -offset width
.It Er EINVAL
The image indicated by
.Fa imgid
is unknown.
.It Er EIO
An error occurred talking to the device while trying to fill out
firmware image information.
.It Er ENOMEM
The driver was unable to allocate memory while filling out image
information.
.El
.It Fn ddi_ufm_op_fill_slot
The
.Fn ddi_ufm_op_fill_slot
function is used to fill in information about a specific slot for a
specific image.
The value in
.Fa imgid
indicates the image the system wants slot information for and the value
in
.Fa slotid
indicates which slot of that image the system is interested in.
If the device driver does not recognize the value in either or
.Fa imgid
or
.Fa slotid ,
then it should return an error.
.Pp
The
.Ft ddi_ufm_slot_t
structure passed in
.Fa usp
is opaque.
To fill in information about the image the driver should call the functions
described in
.Xr ddi_ufm_slot 9F .
.Pp
The driver should call the
.Xr ddi_ufm_slot_set_version 9F
function to indicate the version of the UFM.
The version is a device-specific character string.
It should contain the current version of the UFM as a human can understand it
and it should try to match the format used by device vendor.
.Pp
The
.Xr ddi_ufm_slot_set_attrs 9F
function should be used to set the attributes of the UFM slot.
These attributes include the following enumeration values:
.Bl -tag -width Dv
.It Dv DDI_UFM_ATTR_READABLE
This attribute indicates that the firmware image in the specified slot
may be read, even if the device driver does not currently support such
functionality.
.It Dv DDI_UFM_ATTR_WRITEABLE
This attributes indicates that the firmware image in the specified slot
may be updated, even if the driver does not currently support such
functionality.
.It Dv DDI_UFM_ATTR_ACTIVE
This attributes indicates that the firmware image in the specified slot
is the active
.Pq i.e. currently running
firmware.
Only one slot should be marked active.
.It Dv DDI_UFM_ATTR_EMPTY
This attributes indicates that the specified slot does not currently contain
any firmware image.
.El
.Pp
Finally, if there are any device-specific key-value pairs that form
useful, ancillary data, then the driver should assemble an nvlist and
pass it to the
.Xr ddi_ufm_set_misc 9F
function.
.Pp
Once the driver has finished setting all of the information about the
slot then the driver should return
.Sy 0 .
Otherwise, the driver should return the appropriate error number.
For a full list of error numbers, see
.Xr Intro 2 .
Common values are:
.Bl -tag -width Er -offset width
.It Er EINVAL
The image or slot indicated by
.Fa imgid
and
.Fa slotid
is unknown.
.It Er EIO
An error occurred talking to the device while trying to fill out
firmware slot information.
.It Er ENOMEM
The driver was unable to allocate memory while filling out slot
information.
.El
.It Fn ddi_ufm_op_getcaps
The
.Fn ddi_ufm_op_getcaps
function is used to indicate which DDI UFM capabilities are supported by this
driver instance.
Currently there is only a single capability
.Pq DDI_UFM_CAP_REPORT
which indicates that the driver is capable of reporting UFM information for this
instance.
Future UFM versions may add additional capabilities such as the ability to
obtain a raw dump of the firmware image or to upgrade the firmware.
.Pp
The driver should indicate the supported capabilities by setting the value in
the
.Ft caps
parameter.
Once the driver has populated
.Ft caps
with an appropriate value, then the driver should return
.Sy 0 .
Otherwise, the driver should return the appropriate error number.
For a full list of error numbers, see
.Xr Intro 2 .
Common values are:
.Bl -tag -width Er -offset width
.It Er EIO
An error occurred talking to the device while trying to discover firmware
capabilties.
.It Er ENOMEM
The driver was unable to allocate memory.
.El
.El
.Ss Caching and Updates
The system will fetch firmware and slot information on an as-needed
basis.
Once it obtains some information, it may end up caching this information on
behalf of the driver.
Whenever the driver believes that something could have changed -- it need know
that it has -- then the driver must call
.Xr ddi_ufm_update 9F .
.Ss Locking
All UFM operations on a single UFM handle will always be run serially.
However, the device driver may still need to apply adequate locking to
its structure members as other may be accessing the same data structure
or trying to communicate with the device.
.Ss Unregistering from the UFM subsystem
When a device driver is detached, it should unregister from the UFM
subsystem.
To do so, the driver should call
.Xr ddi_ufm_fini 9F .
By the time this function returns, the driver is guaranteed that no UFM
entry points will be called.
However, if there are outstanding UFM related activity, the function will
block until it is terminated.
.Ss ioctl Interface
Userland consumers can access UFM information via a set of ioctls that are
implemented by the
.Xr ufm 7D
driver.
.Sh CONTEXT
The various UFM entry points that a device driver must implement will
always be called from
.Sy kernel
context.
