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
68In general, selected pin (the one which signal is driving the dpll
69device) can be obtained from ``DPLL_A_PIN_STATE`` attribute, and only
70one pin shall be in ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_CONNECTED`` state for any dpll
71device.
72
73Pin selection can be done either manually or automatically, depending
74on hardware capabilities and active dpll device work mode
75(``DPLL_A_MODE`` attribute). The consequence is that there are
76differences for each mode in terms of available pin states, as well as
77for the states the user can request for a dpll device.
78
79In manual mode (``DPLL_MODE_MANUAL``) the user can request or receive
80one of following pin states:
81
82- ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_CONNECTED`` - the pin is used to drive dpll device
83- ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_DISCONNECTED`` - the pin is not used to drive dpll
84  device
85
86In automatic mode (``DPLL_MODE_AUTOMATIC``) the user can request or
87receive one of following 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
94In automatic mode (``DPLL_MODE_AUTOMATIC``) the user can only receive
95pin state ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_CONNECTED`` once automatic selection
96algorithm locks a dpll device with one of the inputs.
97
98Shared pins
99===========
100
101A single pin object can be attached to multiple dpll devices.
102Then there are two groups of configuration knobs:
103
1041) Set on a pin - the configuration affects all dpll devices pin is
105   registered to (i.e., ``DPLL_A_PIN_FREQUENCY``),
1062) Set on a pin-dpll tuple - the configuration affects only selected
107   dpll device (i.e., ``DPLL_A_PIN_PRIO``, ``DPLL_A_PIN_STATE``,
108   ``DPLL_A_PIN_DIRECTION``).
109
110MUX-type pins
111=============
112
113A pin can be MUX-type, it aggregates child pins and serves as a pin
114multiplexer. One or more pins are registered with MUX-type instead of
115being directly registered to a dpll device.
116Pins registered with a MUX-type pin provide user with additional nested
117attribute ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_PIN`` for each parent they were registered
118with.
119If a pin was registered with multiple parent pins, they behave like a
120multiple output multiplexer. In this case output of a
121``DPLL_CMD_PIN_GET`` would contain multiple pin-parent nested
122attributes with current state related to each parent, like::
123
124        'pin': [{{
125          'clock-id': 282574471561216,
126          'module-name': 'ice',
127          'capabilities': 4,
128          'id': 13,
129          'parent-pin': [
130          {'parent-id': 2, 'state': 'connected'},
131          {'parent-id': 3, 'state': 'disconnected'}
132          ],
133          'type': 'synce-eth-port'
134          }}]
135
136Only one child pin can provide its signal to the parent MUX-type pin at
137a time, the selection is done by requesting change of a child pin state
138on desired parent, with the use of ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT`` nested
139attribute. Example of netlink `set state on parent pin` message format:
140
141  ========================== =============================================
142  ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID``          child pin id
143  ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_PIN``  nested attribute for requesting configuration
144                             related to parent pin
145    ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_ID`` parent pin id
146    ``DPLL_A_PIN_STATE``     requested pin state on parent
147  ========================== =============================================
148
149Pin priority
150============
151
152Some devices might offer a capability of automatic pin selection mode
153(enum value ``DPLL_MODE_AUTOMATIC`` of ``DPLL_A_MODE`` attribute).
154Usually, automatic selection is performed on the hardware level, which
155means only pins directly connected to the dpll can be used for automatic
156input pin selection.
157In automatic selection mode, the user cannot manually select a input
158pin for the device, instead the user shall provide all directly
159connected pins with a priority ``DPLL_A_PIN_PRIO``, the device would
160pick a highest priority valid signal and use it to control the DPLL
161device. Example of netlink `set priority on parent pin` message format:
162
163  ============================ =============================================
164  ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID``            configured pin id
165  ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_DEVICE`` nested attribute for requesting configuration
166                               related to parent dpll device
167    ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_ID``   parent dpll device id
168    ``DPLL_A_PIN_PRIO``        requested pin prio on parent dpll
169  ============================ =============================================
170
171Child pin of MUX-type pin is not capable of automatic input pin selection,
172in order to configure active input of a MUX-type pin, the user needs to
173request desired pin state of the child pin on the parent pin,
174as described in the ``MUX-type pins`` chapter.
175
176Phase offset measurement and adjustment
177========================================
178
179Device may provide ability to measure a phase difference between signals
180on a pin and its parent dpll device. If pin-dpll phase offset measurement
181is supported, it shall be provided with ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_OFFSET``
182attribute for each parent dpll device. The reported phase offset may be
183computed as the average of prior values and the current measurement, using
184the following formula:
185
186.. math::
187   curr\_avg = prev\_avg * \frac{2^N-1}{2^N} + new\_val * \frac{1}{2^N}
188
189where `curr_avg` is the current reported phase offset, `prev_avg` is the
190previously reported value, `new_val` is the current measurement, and `N` is
191the averaging factor. Configured averaging factor value is provided with
192``DPLL_A_PHASE_OFFSET_AVG_FACTOR`` attribute of a device and value change can
193be requested with the same attribute with ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_SET`` command.
194
195  ================================== ======================================
196  ``DPLL_A_PHASE_OFFSET_AVG_FACTOR`` attr configured value of phase offset
197                                     averaging factor
198  ================================== ======================================
199
200Device may also provide ability to adjust a signal phase on a pin.
201If pin phase adjustment is supported, minimal and maximal values and
202granularity that pin handle shall be provided to the user on
203``DPLL_CMD_PIN_GET`` respond with ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_ADJUST_MIN``,
204``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_ADJUST_MAX`` and ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_ADJUST_GRAN``
205attributes. Configured phase adjust value is provided with
206``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_ADJUST`` attribute of a pin, and value change can be
207requested with the same attribute with ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_SET`` command.
208
209  ================================ ==========================================
210  ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID``                configured pin id
211  ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_ADJUST_GRAN`` attr granularity of phase adjustment value
212  ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_ADJUST_MIN``  attr minimum value of phase adjustment
213  ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_ADJUST_MAX``  attr maximum value of phase adjustment
214  ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_ADJUST``      attr configured value of phase
215                                   adjustment on parent dpll device
216  ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_DEVICE``     nested attribute for requesting
217                                   configuration on given parent dpll
218                                   device
219    ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_ID``       parent dpll device id
220    ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_OFFSET``    attr measured phase difference
221                                   between a pin and parent dpll device
222  ================================ ==========================================
223
224All phase related values are provided in pico seconds, which represents
225time difference between signals phase. The negative value means that
226phase of signal on pin is earlier in time than dpll's signal. Positive
227value means that phase of signal on pin is later in time than signal of
228a dpll.
229
230Phase adjust (also min and max) values are integers, but measured phase
231offset values are fractional with 3-digit decimal places and shell be
232divided with ``DPLL_PIN_PHASE_OFFSET_DIVIDER`` to get integer part and
233modulo divided to get fractional part.
234
235Phase offset monitor
236====================
237
238Phase offset measurement is typically performed against the current active
239source. However, some DPLL (Digital Phase-Locked Loop) devices may offer
240the capability to monitor phase offsets across all available inputs.
241The attribute and current feature state shall be included in the response
242message of the ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_GET`` command for supported DPLL devices.
243In such cases, users can also control the feature using the
244``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_SET`` command by setting the ``enum dpll_feature_state``
245values for the attribute.
246Once enabled the phase offset measurements for the input shall be returned
247in the ``DPLL_A_PIN_PHASE_OFFSET`` attribute.

251  =============================== ========================
252
253Embedded SYNC
254=============
255
256Device may provide ability to use Embedded SYNC feature. It allows
257to embed additional SYNC signal into the base frequency of a pin - a one
258special pulse of base frequency signal every time SYNC signal pulse
259happens. The user can configure the frequency of Embedded SYNC.
260The Embedded SYNC capability is always related to a given base frequency
261and HW capabilities. The user is provided a range of Embedded SYNC
262frequencies supported, depending on current base frequency configured for
263the pin.
264
265  ========================================= =================================
266  ``DPLL_A_PIN_ESYNC_FREQUENCY``            current Embedded SYNC frequency
267  ``DPLL_A_PIN_ESYNC_FREQUENCY_SUPPORTED``  nest available Embedded SYNC
268                                            frequency ranges
269    ``DPLL_A_PIN_FREQUENCY_MIN``            attr minimum value of frequency
270    ``DPLL_A_PIN_FREQUENCY_MAX``            attr maximum value of frequency
271  ``DPLL_A_PIN_ESYNC_PULSE``                pulse type of Embedded SYNC
272  ========================================= =================================
273
274Reference SYNC
275==============
276
277The device may support the Reference SYNC feature, which allows the combination
278of two inputs into a input pair. In this configuration, clock signals
279from both inputs are used to synchronize the DPLL device. The higher frequency
280signal is utilized for the loop bandwidth of the DPLL, while the lower frequency
281signal is used to syntonize the output signal of the DPLL device. This feature
282enables the provision of a high-quality loop bandwidth signal from an external
283source.
284
285A capable input provides a list of inputs that can be bound with to create
286Reference SYNC. To control this feature, the user must request a desired
287state for a target pin: use ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_CONNECTED`` to enable or
288``DPLL_PIN_STATE_DISCONNECTED`` to disable the feature. An input pin can be
289bound to only one other pin at any given time.
290
291  ============================== ==========================================
292  ``DPLL_A_PIN_REFERENCE_SYNC``  nested attribute for providing info or
293                                 requesting configuration of the Reference
294                                 SYNC feature
295    ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID``            target pin id for Reference SYNC feature
296    ``DPLL_A_PIN_STATE``         state of Reference SYNC connection
297  ============================== ==========================================
298
299Configuration commands group
300============================
301
302Configuration commands are used to get information about registered
303dpll devices (and pins), as well as set configuration of device or pins.
304As dpll devices must be abstracted and reflect real hardware,
305there is no way to add new dpll device via netlink from user space and
306each device should be registered by its driver.
307
308All netlink commands require ``GENL_ADMIN_PERM``. This is to prevent
309any spamming/DoS from unauthorized userspace applications.
310
311List of netlink commands with possible attributes

437Netlink dump requests
438=====================
439
440The ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_GET`` and ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_GET`` commands are
441capable of dump type netlink requests, in which case the response is in
442the same format as for their ``do`` request, but every device or pin
443registered in the system is returned.
444
445SET commands format
446===================
447
448``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_SET`` - to target a dpll device, the user provides
449``DPLL_A_ID``, which is unique identifier of dpll device in the system,
450as well as parameter being configured (``DPLL_A_MODE``).
451
452``DPLL_CMD_PIN_SET`` - to target a pin user must provide a
453``DPLL_A_PIN_ID``, which is unique identifier of a pin in the system.
454Also configured pin parameters must be added.
455If ``DPLL_A_PIN_FREQUENCY`` is configured, this affects all the dpll
456devices that are connected with the pin, that is why frequency attribute
457shall not be enclosed in ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_DEVICE``.
458Other attributes: ``DPLL_A_PIN_PRIO``, ``DPLL_A_PIN_STATE`` or
459``DPLL_A_PIN_DIRECTION`` must be enclosed in
460``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_DEVICE`` as their configuration relates to only one
461of parent dplls, targeted by ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_ID`` attribute which is
462also required inside that nest.
463For MUX-type pins the ``DPLL_A_PIN_STATE`` attribute is configured in
464similar way, by enclosing required state in ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_PIN``
465nested attribute and targeted parent pin id in ``DPLL_A_PIN_PARENT_ID``.
466
467In general, it is possible to configure multiple parameters at once, but
468internally each parameter change will be invoked separately, where order
469of configuration is not guaranteed by any means.

476Notifications
477=============
478
479dpll device can provide notifications regarding status changes of the
480device, i.e. lock status changes, input/output changes or other alarms.
481There is one multicast group that is used to notify user-space apps via
482netlink socket: ``DPLL_MCGRP_MONITOR``
483
484Notifications messages:
485
486  ============================== =====================================
487  ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_CREATE_NTF`` dpll device was created
488  ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_DELETE_NTF`` dpll device was deleted
489  ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_CHANGE_NTF`` dpll device has changed
490  ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_CREATE_NTF``    dpll pin was created
491  ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_DELETE_NTF``    dpll pin was deleted
492  ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_CHANGE_NTF``    dpll pin has changed
493  ============================== =====================================
494
495Events format is the same as for the corresponding get command.
496Format of ``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_`` events is the same as response of
497``DPLL_CMD_DEVICE_GET``.
498Format of ``DPLL_CMD_PIN_`` events is same as response of
499``DPLL_CMD_PIN_GET``.
500
501Device driver implementation
502============================
503
504Device is allocated by dpll_device_get() call. Second call with the
505same arguments will not create new object but provides pointer to
506previously created device for given arguments, it also increases
507refcount of that object.
508Device is deallocated by dpll_device_put() call, which first
509decreases the refcount, once refcount is cleared the object is
510destroyed.
511
512Device should implement set of operations and register device via
513dpll_device_register() at which point it becomes available to the
514users. Multiple driver instances can obtain reference to it with
515dpll_device_get(), as well as register dpll device with their own
516ops and priv.
517
518The pins are allocated separately with dpll_pin_get(), it works
519similarly to dpll_device_get(). Function first creates object and then
520for each call with the same arguments only the object refcount
521increases. Also dpll_pin_put() works similarly to dpll_device_put().
522
523A pin can be registered with parent dpll device or parent pin, depending
524on hardware needs. Each registration requires registerer to provide set
525of pin callbacks, and private data pointer for calling them:
526
527- dpll_pin_register() - register pin with a dpll device,
528- dpll_pin_on_pin_register() - register pin with another MUX type pin.
529
530Notifications of adding or removing dpll devices are created within
531subsystem itself.
532Notifications about registering/deregistering pins are also invoked by
533the subsystem.
534Notifications about status changes either of dpll device or a pin are
535invoked in two ways:
536
537- after successful change was requested on dpll subsystem, the subsystem
538  calls corresponding notification,
539- requested by device driver with dpll_device_change_ntf() or
540  dpll_pin_change_ntf() when driver informs about the status change.
541
542The device driver using dpll interface is not required to implement all
543the callback operation. Nevertheless, there are few required to be
544implemented.
545Required dpll device level callback operations:
546
547- ``.mode_get``,
548- ``.lock_status_get``.
549
550Required pin level callback operations:
551
552- ``.state_on_dpll_get`` (pins registered with dpll device),
553- ``.state_on_pin_get`` (pins registered with parent pin),
554- ``.direction_get``.
555
556Every other operation handler is checked for existence and
557``-EOPNOTSUPP`` is returned in case of absence of specific handler.
558
559The simplest implementation is in the OCP TimeCard driver. The ops
560structures are defined like this:
561
562.. code-block:: c
563
564	static const struct dpll_device_ops dpll_ops = {
565		.lock_status_get = ptp_ocp_dpll_lock_status_get,
566		.mode_get = ptp_ocp_dpll_mode_get,
567		.mode_supported = ptp_ocp_dpll_mode_supported,
568	};
569
570	static const struct dpll_pin_ops dpll_pins_ops = {
571		.frequency_get = ptp_ocp_dpll_frequency_get,
572		.frequency_set = ptp_ocp_dpll_frequency_set,
573		.direction_get = ptp_ocp_dpll_direction_get,
574		.direction_set = ptp_ocp_dpll_direction_set,
575		.state_on_dpll_get = ptp_ocp_dpll_state_get,
576	};
577
578The registration part is then looks like this part:
579
580.. code-block:: c
581
582        clkid = pci_get_dsn(pdev);
583        bp->dpll = dpll_device_get(clkid, 0, THIS_MODULE);
584        if (IS_ERR(bp->dpll)) {
585                err = PTR_ERR(bp->dpll);
586                dev_err(&pdev->dev, "dpll_device_alloc failed\n");
587                goto out;
588        }
589
590        err = dpll_device_register(bp->dpll, DPLL_TYPE_PPS, &dpll_ops, bp);
591        if (err)
592                goto out;
593
594        for (i = 0; i < OCP_SMA_NUM; i++) {
595                bp->sma[i].dpll_pin = dpll_pin_get(clkid, i, THIS_MODULE, &bp->sma[i].dpll_prop);
596                if (IS_ERR(bp->sma[i].dpll_pin)) {
597                        err = PTR_ERR(bp->dpll);
598                        goto out_dpll;
599                }
600
601                err = dpll_pin_register(bp->dpll, bp->sma[i].dpll_pin, &dpll_pins_ops,
602                                        &bp->sma[i]);
603                if (err) {
604                        dpll_pin_put(bp->sma[i].dpll_pin);
605                        goto out_dpll;
606                }
607        }
608
609In the error path we have to rewind every allocation in the reverse order:
610
611.. code-block:: c
612
613        while (i) {
614                --i;
615                dpll_pin_unregister(bp->dpll, bp->sma[i].dpll_pin, &dpll_pins_ops, &bp->sma[i]);
616                dpll_pin_put(bp->sma[i].dpll_pin);
617        }
618        dpll_device_put(bp->dpll);
619
620More complex example can be found in Intel's ICE driver or nVidia's mlx5 driver.
621
622SyncE enablement
623================
624For SyncE enablement it is required to allow control over dpll device
625for a software application which monitors and configures the inputs of
626dpll device in response to current state of a dpll device and its
627inputs.
628In such scenario, dpll device input signal shall be also configurable
629to drive dpll with signal recovered from the PHY netdevice.
630This is done by exposing a pin to the netdevice - attaching pin to the
631netdevice itself with
632``dpll_netdev_pin_set(struct net_device *dev, struct dpll_pin *dpll_pin)``.
633Exposed pin id handle ``DPLL_A_PIN_ID`` is then identifiable by the user
634as it is attached to rtnetlink respond to get ``RTM_NEWLINK`` command in
635nested attribute ``IFLA_DPLL_PIN``.
