30.Sh NAME
31.Nm pci
32.Nd generic PCI bus driver
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile the PCI bus driver into the kernel,
35place the following line in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd device pci
39.Ed
40.Pp
41To compile in support for Single Root I/O Virtualization
42.Pq SR-IOV :
43.Bd -ragged -offset indent
44.Cd options PCI_IOV
45.Ed
46.Pp
47To compile in support for native PCI-express HotPlug:
48.Bd -ragged -offset indent
49.Cd options PCI_HP
50.Ed
51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52The
53.Nm
54driver provides support for
55.Tn PCI
56devices in the kernel and limited access to
57.Tn PCI
58devices for userland.
59.Pp
60The
61.Nm
62driver provides a
63.Pa /dev/pci
64character device that can be used by userland programs to read and write
65.Tn PCI
66configuration registers.
67Programs can also use this device to get a list of all
68.Tn PCI
69devices, or all
70.Tn PCI
71devices that match various patterns.
72.Pp
73Since the
74.Nm
75driver provides a write interface for
76.Tn PCI
77configuration registers, system administrators should exercise caution when
78granting access to the
79.Nm
80device.
81If used improperly, this driver can allow userland applications to
82crash a machine or cause data loss.
83.Pp
84The
85.Nm
86driver implements the
87.Tn PCI
88bus in the kernel.
89It enumerates any devices on the
90.Tn PCI
91bus and gives
92.Tn PCI
93client drivers the chance to attach to them.
94It assigns resources to children, when the BIOS does not.
95It takes care of routing interrupts when necessary.
96It reprobes the unattached
97.Tn PCI
98children when
99.Tn PCI
100client drivers are dynamically
101loaded at runtime.
102The
103.Nm
104driver also includes support for PCI-PCI bridges,
105various platform-specific Host-PCI bridges,
106and basic support for
107.Tn PCI
108VGA adapters.
109.Sh IOCTLS
110The following
111.Xr ioctl 2
112calls are supported by the
113.Nm
114driver.
115They are defined in the header file
116.In sys/pciio.h .
117.Bl -tag -width 012345678901234
118.It PCIOCGETCONF
119This
120.Xr ioctl 2
121takes a
122.Va pci_conf_io
123structure.
124It allows the user to retrieve information on all
125.Tn PCI
126devices in the system, or on
127.Tn PCI
128devices matching patterns supplied by the user.
129The call may set
130.Va errno
131to any value specified in either
132.Xr copyin 9
133or
134.Xr copyout 9 .
135The
136.Va pci_conf_io
137structure consists of a number of fields:
138.Bl -tag -width match_buf_len
139.It pat_buf_len
140The length, in bytes, of the buffer filled with user-supplied patterns.
141.It num_patterns
142The number of user-supplied patterns.
143.It patterns
144Pointer to a buffer filled with user-supplied patterns.
145.Va patterns
146is a pointer to
147.Va num_patterns
148.Va pci_match_conf
149structures.
150The
151.Va pci_match_conf
152structure consists of the following elements:
153.Bl -tag -width pd_vendor
154.It pc_sel
155.Tn PCI
156domain, bus, slot and function.
157.It pd_name
158.Tn PCI
159device driver name.
160.It pd_unit
161.Tn PCI
162device driver unit number.
163.It pc_vendor
164.Tn PCI
165vendor ID.
166.It pc_device
167.Tn PCI
168device ID.
169.It pc_class
170.Tn PCI
171device class.
172.It flags
173The flags describe which of the fields the kernel should match against.
174A device must match all specified fields in order to be returned.
175The match flags are enumerated in the
176.Va pci_getconf_flags
177structure.
178Hopefully the flag values are obvious enough that they do not need to
179described in detail.
180.El
181.It match_buf_len
182Length of the
183.Va matches
184buffer allocated by the user to hold the results of the
185.Dv PCIOCGETCONF
186query.
187.It num_matches
188Number of matches returned by the kernel.
189.It matches
190Buffer containing matching devices returned by the kernel.
191The items in this buffer are of type
192.Va pci_conf ,
193which consists of the following items:
194.Bl -tag -width pc_subvendor
195.It pc_sel
196.Tn PCI
197domain, bus, slot and function.
198.It pc_hdr
199.Tn PCI
200header type.
201.It pc_subvendor
202.Tn PCI
203subvendor ID.
204.It pc_subdevice
205.Tn PCI
206subdevice ID.
207.It pc_vendor
208.Tn PCI
209vendor ID.
210.It pc_device
211.Tn PCI
212device ID.
213.It pc_class
214.Tn PCI
215device class.
216.It pc_subclass
217.Tn PCI
218device subclass.
219.It pc_progif
220.Tn PCI
221device programming interface.
222.It pc_revid
223.Tn PCI
224revision ID.
225.It pd_name
226Driver name.
227.It pd_unit
228Driver unit number.
229.El
230.It offset
231The offset is passed in by the user to tell the kernel where it should
232start traversing the device list.
233The value passed out by the kernel
234points to the record immediately after the last one returned.
235The user may
236pass the value returned by the kernel in subsequent calls to the
237.Dv PCIOCGETCONF
238ioctl.
239If the user does not intend to use the offset, it must be set to zero.
240.It generation
241.Tn PCI
242configuration generation.
243This value only needs to be set if the offset is set.
244The kernel will compare the current generation number of its internal
245device list to the generation passed in by the user to determine whether
246its device list has changed since the user last called the
247.Dv PCIOCGETCONF
248ioctl.
249If the device list has changed, a status of
250.Va PCI_GETCONF_LIST_CHANGED
251will be passed back.
252.It status
253The status tells the user the disposition of his request for a device list.
254The possible status values are:
255.Bl -ohang
256.It PCI_GETCONF_LAST_DEVICE
257This means that there are no more devices in the PCI device list matching
258the specified criteria after the
259ones returned in the
260.Va matches
261buffer.
262.It PCI_GETCONF_LIST_CHANGED
263This status tells the user that the
264.Tn PCI
265device list has changed since his last call to the
266.Dv PCIOCGETCONF
267ioctl and he must reset the
268.Va offset
269and
270.Va generation
271to zero to start over at the beginning of the list.
272.It PCI_GETCONF_MORE_DEVS
273This tells the user that his buffer was not large enough to hold all of the
274remaining devices in the device list that match his criteria.
275.It PCI_GETCONF_ERROR
276This indicates a general error while servicing the user's request.
277If the
278.Va pat_buf_len
279is not equal to
280.Va num_patterns
281times
282.Fn sizeof "struct pci_match_conf" ,
283.Va errno
284will be set to
285.Er EINVAL .
286.El
287.El
288.It PCIOCREAD
289This
290.Xr ioctl 2
291reads the
292.Tn PCI
293configuration registers specified by the passed-in
294.Va pci_io
295structure.
296The
297.Va pci_io
298structure consists of the following fields:
299.Bl -tag -width pi_width
300.It pi_sel
301A
302.Va pcisel
303structure which specifies the domain, bus, slot and function the user would
304like to query.
305If the specific bus is not found, errno will be set to ENODEV and -1 returned
306from the ioctl.
307.It pi_reg
308The
309.Tn PCI
310configuration register the user would like to access.
311.It pi_width
312The width, in bytes, of the data the user would like to read.
313This value
314may be either 1, 2, or 4.
3153-byte reads and reads larger than 4 bytes are
316not supported.
317If an invalid width is passed, errno will be set to EINVAL.
318.It pi_data
319The data returned by the kernel.
320.El
321.It PCIOCWRITE
322This
323.Xr ioctl 2
324allows users to write to the
325.Tn PCI
326specified in the passed-in
327.Va pci_io
328structure.
329The
330.Va pci_io
331structure is described above.
332The limitations on data width described for
333reading registers, above, also apply to writing
334.Tn PCI
335configuration registers.
336.It PCIOCBARMMAP
337This
338.Xr ioctl 2
339command allows userspace processes to
340.Xr mmap 2
341the memory-mapped PCI BAR into its address space.
342The input parameters and results are passed in the
343.Va pci_bar_mmap
344structure, which has the following fields:
345.Bl -tag -width Vt struct pcise pbm_sel
346.It Vt uint64_t	pbm_map_base
347Reports the established mapping base to the caller.
348If
349.Va PCIIO_BAR_MMAP_FIXED
350flag was specified, then this field must be filled before the call
351with the desired address for the mapping.
352.It Vt uint64_t pbm_map_length
353Reports the mapped length of the BAR, in bytes.
354Its .Vt uint64_t value is always multiple of machine pages.
355.It Vt int64_t pbm_bar_length
356Reports length of the bar as exposed by the device.
357.It Vt int pbm_bar_off
358Reports offset from the mapped base to the start of the
359first register in the bar.
360.It Vt struct pcisel pbm_sel
361Should be filled before the call.
362Describes the device to operate on.
363.It Vt int pbm_reg
364The BAR index to mmap.
365.It Vt int pbm_flags
366Flags which augments the operation.
367See below.
368.It Vt int pbm_memattr
369The caching attribute for the mapping.
370Typical values are
371.Dv VM_MEMATTR_UNCACHEABLE
372for control registers BARs, and
373.Dv VM_MEMATTR_WRITE_COMBINING
374for frame buffers.
375Regular memory-like BAR should be mapped with
376.Dv VM_MEMATTR_DEFAULT
377attribute.
378.El
379.Pp
380Currently defined flags are:
381.Bl -tag -width PCIIO_BAR_MMAP_ACTIVATE
382.It PCIIO_BAR_MMAP_FIXED
383The resulted mappings should be established at the address
384specified by the
385.Va pbm_map_base
386member, otherwise fail.
387.It PCIIO_BAR_MMAP_EXCL
388Must be used together with
389.Dv PCIIO_BAR_MMAP_FIXED
390If the specified base contains already established mappings, the
391operation fails instead of implicitly unmapping them.
392.It PCIIO_BAR_MMAP_RW
393The requested mapping allows both reading and writing.
394Without the flag, read-only mapping is established.
395Note that it is common for the device registers to have side-effects
396even on reads.
397.It PCIIO_BAR_MMAP_ACTIVATE
398(Unimplemented) If the BAR is not activated, activate it in the course
399of mapping.
400Currently attempt to mmap an inactive BAR results in error.
401.El
402.El
403.Sh LOADER TUNABLES
404Tunables can be set at the
405.Xr loader 8
406prompt before booting the kernel, or stored in
407.Xr loader.conf 5 .
408The current value of these tunables can be examined at runtime via
409.Xr sysctl 8
410nodes of the same name.
411Unless otherwise specified,
412each of these tunables is a boolean that can be enabled by setting the
413tunable to a non-zero value.
414.Bl -tag -width indent
415.It Va hw.pci.clear_bars Pq Defaults to 0
416Ignore any firmware-assigned memory and I/O port resources.
417This forces the
418.Tn PCI
419bus driver to allocate resource ranges for memory and I/O port resources
420from scratch.
421.It Va hw.pci.clear_buses Pq Defaults to 0
422Ignore any firmware-assigned bus number registers in PCI-PCI bridges.
423This forces the
424.Tn PCI
425bus driver and PCI-PCI bridge driver to allocate bus numbers for secondary
426buses behind PCI-PCI bridges.
427.It Va hw.pci.clear_pcib Pq Defaults to 0
428Ignore any firmware-assigned memory and I/O port resource windows in PCI-PCI
429bridges.
430This forces the PCI-PCI bridge driver to allocate memory and I/O port resources
431for resource windows from scratch.
432.Pp
433By default the PCI-PCI bridge driver will allocate windows that
434contain the firmware-assigned resources devices behind the bridge.
435In addition, the PCI-PCI bridge driver will suballocate from existing window
436regions when possible to satisfy a resource request.
437As a result,
438both
439.Va hw.pci.clear_bars
440and
441.Va hw.pci.clear_pcib
442must be enabled to fully ignore firmware-supplied resource assignments.
443.It Va hw.pci.default_vgapci_unit Pq Defaults to -1
444By default,
445the first
446.Tn PCI
447VGA adapter encountered by the system is assumed to be the boot display device.
448This tunable can be set to choose a specific VGA adapter by specifying the
449unit number of the associated
450.Va vgapci Ns Ar X
451device.
452.It Va hw.pci.do_power_nodriver Pq Defaults to 0
453Place devices into a low power state
454.Pq D3
455when a suitable device driver is not found.
456Can be set to one of the following values:
457.Bl -tag -width indent
458.It 3
459Powers down all
460.Tn PCI
461devices without a device driver.
462.It 2
463Powers down most devices without a device driver.
464PCI devices with the display, memory, and base peripheral device classes
465are not powered down.
466.It 1
467Similar to a setting of 2 except that storage controllers are also not
468powered down.
469.It 0
470All devices are left fully powered.
471.El
472.Pp
473A
474.Tn PCI
475device must support power management to be powered down.
476Placing a device into a low power state may not reduce power consumption.
477.It Va hw.pci.do_power_resume Pq Defaults to 1
478Place
479.Tn PCI
480devices into the fully powered state when resuming either the system or an
481individual device.
482Setting this to zero is discouraged as the system will not attempt to power
483up non-powered PCI devices after a suspend.
484.It Va hw.pci.do_power_suspend Pq Defaults to 1
485Place
486.Tn PCI
487devices into a low power state when suspending either the system or individual
488devices.
489Normally the D3 state is used as the low power state,
490but firmware may override the desired power state during a system suspend.
491.It Va hw.pci.enable_ari Pq Defaults to 1
492Enable support for PCI-express Alternative RID Interpretation.
493This is often used in conjunction with SR-IOV.
494.It Va hw.pci.enable_io_modes Pq Defaults to 1
495Enable memory or I/O port decoding in a PCI device's command register if it has
496firmware-assigned memory or I/O port resources.
497The firmware
498.Pq BIOS
499in some systems does not enable memory or I/O port decoding for some devices
500even when it has assigned resources to the device.
501This enables decoding for such resources during bus probe.
502.It Va hw.pci.enable_msi Pq Defaults to 1
503Enable support for Message Signalled Interrupts
504.Pq MSI .
505MSI interrupts can be disabled by setting this tunable to 0.
506.It Va hw.pci.enable_msix Pq Defaults to 1
507Enable support for extended Message Signalled Interrupts
508.Pq MSI-X .
509MSI-X interrupts can be disabled by setting this tunable to 0.
510.It Va hw.pci.enable_pcie_hp Pq Defaults to 1
511Enable support for native PCI-express HotPlug.
512.It Va hw.pci.honor_msi_blacklist Pq Defaults to 1
513MSI and MSI-X interrupts are disabled for certain chipsets known to have
514broken MSI and MSI-X implementations when this tunable is set.
515It can be set to zero to permit use of MSI and MSI-X interrupts if the
516chipset match is a false positive.
517.It Va hw.pci.iov_max_config Pq Defaults to 1MB
518The maximum amount of memory permitted for the configuration parameters
519used when creating Virtual Functions via SR-IOV.
520This tunable can also be changed at runtime via
521.Xr sysctl 8 .
522.It Va hw.pci.realloc_bars Pq Defaults to 0
523Attempt to allocate a new resource range during the initial device scan
524for any memory or I/O port resources with firmware-assigned ranges that
525conflict with another active resource.
526.It Va hw.pci.usb_early_takeover Pq Defaults to 1 on Tn amd64 and Tn i386
527Disable legacy device emulation of USB devices during the initial device
528scan.
529Set this tunable to zero to use USB devices via legacy emulation when
530using a custom kernel without USB controller drivers.
531.It Va hw.pci<D>.<B>.<S>.INT<P>.irq
532These tunables can be used to override the interrupt routing for legacy
533PCI INTx interrupts.
534Unlike other tunables in this list,
535these do not have corresponding sysctl nodes.
536The tunable name includes the address of the PCI device as well as the
537pin of the desired INTx IRQ to override:
538.Bl -tag -width indent
539.It <D>
540The domain
541.Pq or segment
542of the PCI device in decimal.
543.It <B>
544The bus address of the PCI device in decimal.
545.It <S>
546The slot of the PCI device in decimal.
547.It <P>
548The interrupt pin of the PCI slot to override.
549One of
550.Ql A ,
551.Ql B ,
552.Ql C ,
553or
554.Ql D .
555.El
556.Pp
557The value of the tunable is the raw IRQ value to use for the INTx interrupt
558pin identified by the tunable name.
559Mapping of IRQ values to platform interrupt sources is machine dependent.
560.El
561.Sh DEVICE WIRING
562You can wire the device unit at a given location with device.hints.
563Entries of the form
564.Va hints.<name>.<unit>.at="pci<B>:<S>:<F>"
565or
566.Va hints.<name>.<unit>.at="pci<D>:<B>:<S>:<F>"
567will force the driver
568.Va name
569to probe and attach at unit
570.Va unit
571for any PCI device found to match the specification, where:
572.Bl -tag -width -indent
573.It <D>
574The domain
575.Pq or segment
576of the PCI device in decimal.
577Defaults to 0 if unspecified
578.It <B>
579The bus address of the PCI device in decimal.
580.It <S>
581The slot of the PCI device in decimal.
582.It <F>
583The function of the PCI device in decimal.
584.El
585.Pp
586The code to do the matching requires an exact string match.
587Do not specify the angle brackets
588.Pq < >
589in the hints file.
590Wiring multiple devices to the same
591.Va name
592and
593.Va unit
594produces undefined results.
595.Ss Examples
596Given the following lines in
597.Pa /boot/device.hints :
598.Cd hint.nvme.3.at="pci6:0:0"
599.Cd hint.igb.8.at="pci14:0:0"
600If there is a device that supports
601.Xr igb 4
602at PCI bus 14 slot 0 function 0,
603then it will be assigned igb8 for probe and attach.
604Likewise, if there is an
605.Xr nvme 4
606card at PCI bus 6 slot 0 function 0,
607then it will be assigned nvme3 for probe and attach.
608If another type of card is in either of these locations, the name and
609unit of that card will be the default names and will be unaffected by
610these hints.
611If other igb or nvme cards are located elsewhere, they will be
612assigned their unit numbers sequentially, skipping the unit numbers
613that have 'at' hints.

636.Sh BUGS
637It is not possible for users to specify an accurate offset into the device
638list without calling the
639.Dv PCIOCGETCONF
640at least once, since they have no way of knowing the current generation
641number otherwise.

643users can easily narrow their search by specifying a pattern or patterns
644for the kernel to match against.
