4The Linux kernel dpll subsystem
5===============================

7DPLL
8====
9
10PLL - Phase Locked Loop is an electronic circuit which syntonizes clock
11signal of a device with an external clock signal. Effectively enabling
12device to run on the same clock signal beat as provided on a PLL input.
13
14DPLL - Digital Phase Locked Loop is an integrated circuit which in
15addition to plain PLL behavior incorporates a digital phase detector
16and may have digital divider in the loop. As a result, the frequency on
17DPLL's input and output may be configurable.
18
19Subsystem
20=========
21
22The main purpose of dpll subsystem is to provide general interface
23to configure devices that use any kind of Digital PLL and could use
24different sources of input signal to synchronize to, as well as
25different types of outputs.
26The main interface is NETLINK_GENERIC based protocol with an event
27monitoring multicast group defined.
28
29Device object
30=============
31
32Single dpll device object means single Digital PLL circuit and bunch of
33connected pins.
34It reports the supported modes of operation and current status to the
35user in response to the `do` request of netlink command
36``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_GET`` and list of dplls registered in the subsystem
37with `dump` netlink request of the same command.
38Changing the configuration of dpll device is done with `do` request of
39netlink ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_SET`` command.
40A device handle is ``DPLL_A_ID``, it shall be provided to get or set
41configuration of particular device in the system. It can be obtained
42with a ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_GET`` `dump` request or
43a ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_ID_GET`` `do` request, where the one must provide
44attributes that result in single device match.
45
46Pin object
47==========
48
49A pin is amorphic object which represents either input or output, it
50could be internal component of the device, as well as externally
51connected.
52The number of pins per dpll vary, but usually multiple pins shall be
53provided for a single dpll device.
54Pin's properties, capabilities and status is provided to the user in
55response to `do` request of netlink ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_GET`` command.
56It is also possible to list all the pins that were registered in the
57system with `dump` request of ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_GET`` command.
58Configuration of a pin can be changed by `do` request of netlink
59``DPLL_CMD_PIN_SET`` command.
60Pin handle is a ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID``, it shall be provided to get or set
61configuration of particular pin in the system. It can be obtained with
62``DPLL_CMD_PIN_GET`` `dump` request or ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_ID_GET`` `do`
63request, where user provides attributes that result in single pin match.
64
65Pin selection
66=============
67
68Pin state (``DPLL_A_PIN_STATE``) reflects the administrative intent set
69by the user. Pin operational state (``DPLL_A_PIN_OPERSTATE``) reflects
70what the hardware is actually doing with the pin.
71
72Pin selection can be done either manually or automatically, depending
73on hardware capabilities and active dpll device work mode
74(``DPLL_A_MODE`` attribute). The consequence is that there are
75differences for each mode in terms of available pin states the user can
76request for a dpll device.
77
78In manual mode (``DPLL_MODE_MANUAL``) the user can request one of
79following pin states:
80
81- ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_CONNECTED`` - the pin is selected to drive dpll
82  device
83- ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_DISCONNECTED`` - the pin is not selected to drive
84  dpll device
85
86In automatic mode (``DPLL_MODE_AUTOMATIC``) the user can request one of
87following pin states:
88
89- ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_SELECTABLE`` - the pin shall be considered as valid
90  input for automatic selection algorithm
91- ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_DISCONNECTED`` - the pin shall be not considered as
92  a valid input for automatic selection algorithm
93
94The actual hardware status of a pin is reported via the operational
95state (``DPLL_A_PIN_OPERSTATE``) attribute nested under the parent
96device:
97
98- ``DPLL_PIN_OPERSTATE_ACTIVE`` - pin is qualified and actively used
99  by the DPLL
100- ``DPLL_PIN_OPERSTATE_STANDBY`` - pin is qualified but not actively
101  used by the DPLL
102- ``DPLL_PIN_OPERSTATE_NO_SIGNAL`` - pin does not have a valid signal
103- ``DPLL_PIN_OPERSTATE_QUAL_FAILED`` - pin signal failed qualification
104  checks
105
106Shared pins
107===========
108
109A single pin object can be attached to multiple dpll devices.
110Then there are two groups of configuration knobs:
111
1121) Set on a pin - the configuration affects all dpll devices pin is
113   registered to (i.e., ``DPLL_A_PIN_FREQUENCY``),
1142) Set on a pin-dpll tuple - the configuration affects only selected
115   dpll device (i.e., ``DPLL_A_PIN_PRIO``, ``DPLL_A_PIN_STATE``,
116   ``DPLL_A_PIN_DIRECTION``).
117
118MUX-type pins
119=============
120
121A pin can be MUX-type, it aggregates child pins and serves as a pin
122multiplexer. One or more pins are registered with MUX-type instead of
123being directly registered to a dpll device.
124Pins registered with a MUX-type pin provide user with additional nested
125attribute ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_PIN`` for each parent they were registered
126with.
127If a pin was registered with multiple parent pins, they behave like a
128multiple output multiplexer. In this case output of a
129``DPLL_CMD_PIN_GET`` would contain multiple pin-parent nested
130attributes with current state related to each parent, like::
131
132        'pin': [{{
133          'clock-id': 282574471561216,
134          'module-name': 'ice',
135          'capabilities': 4,
136          'id': 13,
137          'parent-pin': [
138          {'parent-id': 2, 'state': 'connected'},
139          {'parent-id': 3, 'state': 'disconnected'}
140          ],
141          'type': 'synce-eth-port'
142          }}]
143
144Only one child pin can provide its signal to the parent MUX-type pin at
145a time, the selection is done by requesting change of a child pin state
146on desired parent, with the use of ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT`` nested
147attribute. Example of netlink `set state on parent pin` message format:
148
149  ========================== =============================================
150  ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID``          child pin id
151  ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_PIN``  nested attribute for requesting configuration
152                             related to parent pin
153    ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_ID`` parent pin id
154    ``DPLL_A_PIN_STATE``     requested pin state on parent
155  ========================== =============================================
156
157Pin priority
158============
159
160Some devices might offer a capability of automatic pin selection mode
161(enum value ``DPLL_MODE_AUTOMATIC`` of ``DPLL_A_MODE`` attribute).
162Usually, automatic selection is performed on the hardware level, which
163means only pins directly connected to the dpll can be used for automatic
164input pin selection.
165In automatic selection mode, the user cannot manually select a input
166pin for the device, instead the user shall provide all directly
167connected pins with a priority ``DPLL_A_PIN_PRIO``, the device would
168pick a highest priority valid signal and use it to control the DPLL
169device. Example of netlink `set priority on parent pin` message format:
170
171  ============================ =============================================
172  ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID``            configured pin id
173  ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_DEVICE`` nested attribute for requesting configuration
174                               related to parent dpll device
175    ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_ID``   parent dpll device id
176    ``DPLL_A_PIN_PRIO``        requested pin prio on parent dpll
177  ============================ =============================================
178
179Child pin of MUX-type pin is not capable of automatic input pin selection,
180in order to configure active input of a MUX-type pin, the user needs to
181request desired pin state of the child pin on the parent pin,
182as described in the ``MUX-type pins`` chapter.
183
184Phase offset measurement and adjustment
185========================================
186
187Device may provide ability to measure a phase difference between signals
188on a pin and its parent dpll device. If pin-dpll phase offset measurement
189is supported, it shall be provided with ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_OFFSET``
190attribute for each parent dpll device. The reported phase offset may be
191computed as the average of prior values and the current measurement, using
192the following formula:
193
194.. math::
195   curr\_avg = prev\_avg * \frac{2^N-1}{2^N} + new\_val * \frac{1}{2^N}
196
197where `curr_avg` is the current reported phase offset, `prev_avg` is the
198previously reported value, `new_val` is the current measurement, and `N` is
199the averaging factor. Configured averaging factor value is provided with
200``DPLL_A_PHASE_OFFSET_AVG_FACTOR`` attribute of a device and value change can
201be requested with the same attribute with ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_SET`` command.
202
203  ================================== ======================================
204  ``DPLL_A_PHASE_OFFSET_AVG_FACTOR`` attr configured value of phase offset
205                                     averaging factor
206  ================================== ======================================
207
208Device may also provide ability to adjust a signal phase on a pin.
209If pin phase adjustment is supported, minimal and maximal values and
210granularity that pin handle shall be provided to the user on
211``DPLL_CMD_PIN_GET`` respond with ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_ADJUST_MIN``,
212``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_ADJUST_MAX`` and ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_ADJUST_GRAN``
213attributes. Configured phase adjust value is provided with
214``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_ADJUST`` attribute of a pin, and value change can be
215requested with the same attribute with ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_SET`` command.
216
217  ================================ ==========================================
218  ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID``                configured pin id
219  ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_ADJUST_GRAN`` attr granularity of phase adjustment value
220  ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_ADJUST_MIN``  attr minimum value of phase adjustment
221  ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_ADJUST_MAX``  attr maximum value of phase adjustment
222  ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_ADJUST``      attr configured value of phase
223                                   adjustment on parent dpll device
224  ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_DEVICE``     nested attribute for requesting
225                                   configuration on given parent dpll
226                                   device
227    ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_ID``       parent dpll device id
228    ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_OFFSET``    attr measured phase difference
229                                   between a pin and parent dpll device
230  ================================ ==========================================
231
232All phase related values are provided in pico seconds, which represents
233time difference between signals phase. The negative value means that
234phase of signal on pin is earlier in time than dpll's signal. Positive
235value means that phase of signal on pin is later in time than signal of
236a dpll.
237
238Phase adjust (also min and max) values are integers, but measured phase
239offset values are fractional with 3-digit decimal places and shell be
240divided with ``DPLL_PIN_PHASE_OFFSET_DIVIDER`` to get integer part and
241modulo divided to get fractional part.
242
243Phase offset monitor
244====================
245
246Phase offset measurement is typically performed against the current active
247source. However, some DPLL (Digital Phase-Locked Loop) devices may offer
248the capability to monitor phase offsets across all available inputs.
249The attribute and current feature state shall be included in the response
250message of the ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_GET`` command for supported DPLL devices.
251In such cases, users can also control the feature using the
252``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_SET`` command by setting the ``enum dpll_feature_state``
253values for the attribute.
254Once enabled the phase offset measurements for the input shall be returned
255in the ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_OFFSET`` attribute.
256
257  =============================== ========================
258  ``DPLL_A_PHASE_OFFSET_MONITOR`` attr state of a feature
259  =============================== ========================
260
261Frequency monitor
262=================
263
264Some DPLL devices may offer the capability to measure the actual
265frequency of all available input pins. The attribute and current feature state
266shall be included in the response message of the ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_GET``
267command for supported DPLL devices. In such cases, users can also control
268the feature using the ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_SET`` command by setting the
269``enum dpll_feature_state`` values for the attribute.
270Once enabled the measured input frequency for each input pin shall be
271returned in the ``DPLL_A_PIN_MEASURED_FREQUENCY`` attribute. The value
272is in millihertz (mHz), using ``DPLL_PIN_MEASURED_FREQUENCY_DIVIDER``
273as the divider.
274

277  =============================== ========================
278
279Embedded SYNC
280=============
281
282Device may provide ability to use Embedded SYNC feature. It allows
283to embed additional SYNC signal into the base frequency of a pin - a one
284special pulse of base frequency signal every time SYNC signal pulse
285happens. The user can configure the frequency of Embedded SYNC.
286The Embedded SYNC capability is always related to a given base frequency
287and HW capabilities. The user is provided a range of Embedded SYNC
288frequencies supported, depending on current base frequency configured for
289the pin.
290
291  ========================================= =================================
292  ``DPLL_A_PIN_ESYNC_FREQUENCY``            current Embedded SYNC frequency

296    ``DPLL_A_PIN_FREQUENCY_MAX``            attr maximum value of frequency
297  ``DPLL_A_PIN_ESYNC_PULSE``                pulse type of Embedded SYNC
298  ========================================= =================================
299
300Reference SYNC
301==============
302
303The device may support the Reference SYNC feature, which allows the combination
304of two inputs into a input pair. In this configuration, clock signals
305from both inputs are used to synchronize the DPLL device. The higher frequency
306signal is utilized for the loop bandwidth of the DPLL, while the lower frequency
307signal is used to syntonize the output signal of the DPLL device. This feature
308enables the provision of a high-quality loop bandwidth signal from an external
309source.
310
311A capable input provides a list of inputs that can be bound with to create
312Reference SYNC. To control this feature, the user must request a desired
313state for a target pin: use ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_CONNECTED`` to enable or
314``DPLL_PIN_STATE_DISCONNECTED`` to disable the feature. An input pin can be
315bound to only one other pin at any given time.
316
317  ============================== ==========================================
318  ``DPLL_A_PIN_REFERENCE_SYNC``  nested attribute for providing info or

321    ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID``            target pin id for Reference SYNC feature
322    ``DPLL_A_PIN_STATE``         state of Reference SYNC connection
323  ============================== ==========================================
324
325Configuration commands group
326============================
327
328Configuration commands are used to get information about registered
329dpll devices (and pins), as well as set configuration of device or pins.
330As dpll devices must be abstracted and reflect real hardware,
331there is no way to add new dpll device via netlink from user space and
332each device should be registered by its driver.
333
334All netlink commands require ``GENL_ADMIN_PERM``. This is to prevent
335any spamming/DoS from unauthorized userspace applications.
336
337List of netlink commands with possible attributes

339
340Constants identifying command types for dpll device uses a
341``DPLL_CMD_`` prefix and suffix according to command purpose.

465Netlink dump requests
466=====================
467
468The ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_GET`` and ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_GET`` commands are
469capable of dump type netlink requests, in which case the response is in
470the same format as for their ``do`` request, but every device or pin
471registered in the system is returned.
472
473SET commands format
474===================
475
476``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_SET`` - to target a dpll device, the user provides
477``DPLL_A_ID``, which is unique identifier of dpll device in the system,
478as well as parameter being configured (``DPLL_A_MODE``).
479
480``DPLL_CMD_PIN_SET`` - to target a pin user must provide a
481``DPLL_A_PIN_ID``, which is unique identifier of a pin in the system.
482Also configured pin parameters must be added.
483If ``DPLL_A_PIN_FREQUENCY`` is configured, this affects all the dpll
484devices that are connected with the pin, that is why frequency attribute
485shall not be enclosed in ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_DEVICE``.
486Other attributes: ``DPLL_A_PIN_PRIO``, ``DPLL_A_PIN_STATE`` or
487``DPLL_A_PIN_DIRECTION`` must be enclosed in
488``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_DEVICE`` as their configuration relates to only one
489of parent dplls, targeted by ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_ID`` attribute which is
490also required inside that nest.
491For MUX-type pins the ``DPLL_A_PIN_STATE`` attribute is configured in
492similar way, by enclosing required state in ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_PIN``
493nested attribute and targeted parent pin id in ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_ID``.
494
495In general, it is possible to configure multiple parameters at once, but
496internally each parameter change will be invoked separately, where order
497of configuration is not guaranteed by any means.

504Notifications
505=============
506
507dpll device can provide notifications regarding status changes of the
508device, i.e. lock status changes, input/output changes or other alarms.
509There is one multicast group that is used to notify user-space apps via
510netlink socket: ``DPLL_MCGRP_MONITOR``
511
512Notifications messages:
513
514  ============================== =====================================
515  ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_CREATE_NTF`` dpll device was created
516  ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_DELETE_NTF`` dpll device was deleted
517  ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_CHANGE_NTF`` dpll device has changed
518  ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_CREATE_NTF``    dpll pin was created
519  ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_DELETE_NTF``    dpll pin was deleted
520  ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_CHANGE_NTF``    dpll pin has changed
521  ============================== =====================================
522
523Events format is the same as for the corresponding get command.
524Format of ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_`` events is the same as response of
525``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_GET``.
526Format of ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_`` events is same as response of
527``DPLL_CMD_PIN_GET``.
528
529Device driver implementation
530============================
531
532Device is allocated by dpll_device_get() call. Second call with the
533same arguments will not create new object but provides pointer to
534previously created device for given arguments, it also increases
535refcount of that object.
536Device is deallocated by dpll_device_put() call, which first
537decreases the refcount, once refcount is cleared the object is
538destroyed.
539
540Device should implement set of operations and register device via
541dpll_device_register() at which point it becomes available to the
542users. Multiple driver instances can obtain reference to it with
543dpll_device_get(), as well as register dpll device with their own
544ops and priv.
545
546The pins are allocated separately with dpll_pin_get(), it works
547similarly to dpll_device_get(). Function first creates object and then
548for each call with the same arguments only the object refcount
549increases. Also dpll_pin_put() works similarly to dpll_device_put().
550
551A pin can be registered with parent dpll device or parent pin, depending
552on hardware needs. Each registration requires registerer to provide set
553of pin callbacks, and private data pointer for calling them:
554
555- dpll_pin_register() - register pin with a dpll device,
556- dpll_pin_on_pin_register() - register pin with another MUX type pin.
557
558Notifications of adding or removing dpll devices are created within
559subsystem itself.
560Notifications about registering/deregistering pins are also invoked by
561the subsystem.
562Notifications about status changes either of dpll device or a pin are
563invoked in two ways:
564
565- after successful change was requested on dpll subsystem, the subsystem
566  calls corresponding notification,
567- requested by device driver with dpll_device_change_ntf() or
568  dpll_pin_change_ntf() when driver informs about the status change.
569
570The device driver using dpll interface is not required to implement all
571the callback operation. Nevertheless, there are few required to be
572implemented.
573Required dpll device level callback operations:
574
575- ``.mode_get``,
576- ``.lock_status_get``.
577
578Required pin level callback operations:
579
580- ``.state_on_dpll_get`` (pins registered with dpll device),
581- ``.state_on_pin_get`` (pins registered with parent pin),
582- ``.direction_get``.
583
584Every other operation handler is checked for existence and
585``-EOPNOTSUPP`` is returned in case of absence of specific handler.
586
587The simplest implementation is in the OCP TimeCard driver. The ops
588structures are defined like this:
589
590.. code-block:: c
591
592	static const struct dpll_device_ops dpll_ops = {
593		.lock_status_get = ptp_ocp_dpll_lock_status_get,
594		.mode_get = ptp_ocp_dpll_mode_get,
595		.mode_supported = ptp_ocp_dpll_mode_supported,
596	};
597
598	static const struct dpll_pin_ops dpll_pins_ops = {
599		.frequency_get = ptp_ocp_dpll_frequency_get,
600		.frequency_set = ptp_ocp_dpll_frequency_set,
601		.direction_get = ptp_ocp_dpll_direction_get,
602		.direction_set = ptp_ocp_dpll_direction_set,
603		.state_on_dpll_get = ptp_ocp_dpll_state_get,
604	};
605
606The registration part is then looks like this part:
607
608.. code-block:: c
609
610        clkid = pci_get_dsn(pdev);
611        bp->dpll = dpll_device_get(clkid, 0, THIS_MODULE);
612        if (IS_ERR(bp->dpll)) {
613                err = PTR_ERR(bp->dpll);
614                dev_err(&pdev->dev, "dpll_device_alloc failed\n");
615                goto out;
616        }
617
618        err = dpll_device_register(bp->dpll, DPLL_TYPE_PPS, &dpll_ops, bp);
619        if (err)
620                goto out;
621
622        for (i = 0; i < OCP_SMA_NUM; i++) {
623                bp->sma[i].dpll_pin = dpll_pin_get(clkid, i, THIS_MODULE, &bp->sma[i].dpll_prop);
624                if (IS_ERR(bp->sma[i].dpll_pin)) {
625                        err = PTR_ERR(bp->dpll);
626                        goto out_dpll;
627                }
628
629                err = dpll_pin_register(bp->dpll, bp->sma[i].dpll_pin, &dpll_pins_ops,
630                                        &bp->sma[i]);
631                if (err) {
632                        dpll_pin_put(bp->sma[i].dpll_pin);
633                        goto out_dpll;
634                }
635        }
636
637In the error path we have to rewind every allocation in the reverse order:
638
639.. code-block:: c
640
641        while (i) {
642                --i;
643                dpll_pin_unregister(bp->dpll, bp->sma[i].dpll_pin, &dpll_pins_ops, &bp->sma[i]);
644                dpll_pin_put(bp->sma[i].dpll_pin);
645        }
646        dpll_device_put(bp->dpll);
647
648More complex example can be found in Intel's ICE driver or nVidia's mlx5 driver.
649
650SyncE enablement
651================
652For SyncE enablement it is required to allow control over dpll device
653for a software application which monitors and configures the inputs of
654dpll device in response to current state of a dpll device and its
655inputs.
656In such scenario, dpll device input signal shall be also configurable
657to drive dpll with signal recovered from the PHY netdevice.
658This is done by exposing a pin to the netdevice - attaching pin to the
659netdevice itself with
660``dpll_netdev_pin_set(struct net_device *dev, struct dpll_pin *dpll_pin)``.
661Exposed pin id handle ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID`` is then identifiable by the user
662as it is attached to rtnetlink respond to get ``RTM_NEWLINK`` command in
663nested attribute ``IFLA_DPLL_PIN``.
