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.El
337.Sh LOADER TUNABLES
338Tunables can be set at the
339.Xr loader 8
340prompt before booting the kernel, or stored in
341.Xr loader.conf 5 .
342The current value of these tunables can be examined at runtime via
343.Xr sysctl 8
344nodes of the same name.
345Unless otherwise specified,
346each of these tunables is a boolean that can be enabled by setting the
347tunable to a non-zero value.
348.Bl -tag -width indent
349.It Va hw.pci.clear_bars Pq Defaults to 0
350Ignore any firmware-assigned memory and I/O port resources.
351This forces the
352.Tn PCI
353bus driver to allocate resource ranges for memory and I/O port resources
354from scratch.
355.It Va hw.pci.clear_buses Pq Defaults to 0
356Ignore any firmware-assigned bus number registers in PCI-PCI bridges.
357This forces the
358.Tn PCI
359bus driver and PCI-PCI bridge driver to allocate bus numbers for secondary
360buses behind PCI-PCI bridges.
361.It Va hw.pci.clear_pcib Pq Defaults to 0
362Ignore any firmware-assigned memory and I/O port resource windows in PCI-PCI
363bridges.
364This forces the PCI-PCI bridge driver to allocate memory and I/O port resources
365for resource windows from scratch.
366.Pp
367By default the PCI-PCI bridge driver will allocate windows that
368contain the firmware-assigned resources devices behind the bridge.
369In addition, the PCI-PCI bridge driver will suballocate from existing window
370regions when possible to satisfy a resource request.
371As a result,
372both
373.Va hw.pci.clear_bars
374and
375.Va hw.pci.clear_pcib
376must be enabled to fully ignore firmware-supplied resource assignments.
377.It Va hw.pci.default_vgapci_unit Pq Defaults to -1
378By default,
379the first
380.Tn PCI
381VGA adapter encountered by the system is assumed to be the boot display device.
382This tunable can be set to choose a specific VGA adapter by specifying the
383unit number of the associated
384.Va vgapci Ns Ar X
385device.
386.It Va hw.pci.do_power_nodriver Pq Defaults to 0
387Place devices into a low power state
388.Pq D3
389when a suitable device driver is not found.
390Can be set to one of the following values:
391.Bl -tag -width indent
392.It 3
393Powers down all
394.Tn PCI
395devices without a device driver.
396.It 2
397Powers down most devices without a device driver.
398PCI devices with the display, memory, and base peripheral device classes
399are not powered down.
400.It 1
401Similar to a setting of 2 except that storage controllers are also not
402powered down.
403.It 0
404All devices are left fully powered.
405.El
406.Pp
407A
408.Tn PCI
409device must support power management to be powered down.
410Placing a device into a low power state may not reduce power consumption.
411.It Va hw.pci.do_power_resume Pq Defaults to 1
412Place
413.Tn PCI
414devices into the fully powered state when resuming either the system or an
415individual device.
416Setting this to zero is discouraged as the system will not attempt to power
417up non-powered PCI devices after a suspend.
418.It Va hw.pci.do_power_suspend Pq Defaults to 1
419Place
420.Tn PCI
421devices into a low power state when suspending either the system or individual
422devices.
423Normally the D3 state is used as the low power state,
424but firmware may override the desired power state during a system suspend.
425.It Va hw.pci.enable_ari Pq Defaults to 1
426Enable support for PCI-express Alternative RID Interpretation.
427This is often used in conjunction with SR-IOV.
428.It Va hw.pci.enable_io_modes Pq Defaults to 1
429Enable memory or I/O port decoding in a PCI device's command register if it has
430firmware-assigned memory or I/O port resources.
431The firmware
432.Pq BIOS
433in some systems does not enable memory or I/O port decoding for some devices
434even when it has assigned resources to the device.
435This enables decoding for such resources during bus probe.
436.It Va hw.pci.enable_msi Pq Defaults to 1
437Enable support for Message Signalled Interrupts
438.Pq MSI .
439MSI interrupts can be disabled by setting this tunable to 0.
440.It Va hw.pci.enable_msix Pq Defaults to 1
441Enable support for extended Message Signalled Interrupts
442.Pq MSI-X .
443MSI-X interrupts can be disabled by setting this tunable to 0.
444.It Va hw.pci.enable_pcie_hp Pq Defaults to 1
445Enable support for native PCI-express HotPlug.
446.It Va hw.pci.honor_msi_blacklist Pq Defaults to 1
447MSI and MSI-X interrupts are disabled for certain chipsets known to have
448broken MSI and MSI-X implementations when this tunable is set.
449It can be set to zero to permit use of MSI and MSI-X interrupts if the
450chipset match is a false positive.
451.It Va hw.pci.iov_max_config Pq Defaults to 1MB
452The maximum amount of memory permitted for the configuration parameters
453used when creating Virtual Functions via SR-IOV.
454This tunable can also be changed at runtime via
455.Xr sysctl 8 .
456.It Va hw.pci.realloc_bars Pq Defaults to 0
457Attempt to allocate a new resource range during the initial device scan
458for any memory or I/O port resources with firmware-assigned ranges that
459conflict with another active resource.
460.It Va hw.pci.usb_early_takeover Pq Defaults to 1 on Tn amd64 and Tn i386
461Disable legacy device emulation of USB devices during the initial device
462scan.
463Set this tunable to zero to use USB devices via legacy emulation when
464using a custom kernel without USB controller drivers.
465.It Va hw.pci<D>.<B>.<S>.INT<P>.irq
466These tunables can be used to override the interrupt routing for legacy
467PCI INTx interrupts.
468Unlike other tunables in this list,
469these do not have corresponding sysctl nodes.
470The tunable name includes the address of the PCI device as well as the
471pin of the desired INTx IRQ to override:
472.Bl -tag -width indent
473.It <D>
474The domain
475.Pq or segment
476of the PCI device in decimal.
477.It <B>
478The bus address of the PCI device in decimal.
479.It <S>
480The slot of the PCI device in decimal.
481.It <P>
482The interrupt pin of the PCI slot to override.
483One of
484.Ql A ,
485.Ql B ,
486.Ql C ,
487or
488.Ql D .
489.El
490.Pp
491The value of the tunable is the raw IRQ value to use for the INTx interrupt
492pin identified by the tunable name.
493Mapping of IRQ values to platform interrupt sources is machine dependent.

517.Sh BUGS
518It is not possible for users to specify an accurate offset into the device
519list without calling the
520.Dv PCIOCGETCONF
521at least once, since they have no way of knowing the current generation
522number otherwise.
523This probably is not a serious problem, though, since
524users can easily narrow their search by specifying a pattern or patterns
525for the kernel to match against.
526
