Introduction
============
The Shared Memory Point to Point (SMP2P) protocol facilitates communication of
a single 32-bit value between two processors. Each value has a single writer
(the local side) and a single reader (the remote side). Values are uniquely
identified in the system by the directed edge (local processor ID to remote
processor ID) and a string identifier.
Version and feature negotiation has been included in the design to allow for
phased upgrades of all processors.
Software Architecture Description
=================================
The data and interrupt coupling between processors is shown in Fig. 1. Each
processor is responsible for creating the outgoing SMEM items and each item is
writable by the local processor and readable by the remote processor. By using
two separate SMEM items that are single-reader and single-writer, SMP2P does
not require any remote locking mechanisms.
The client API uses the Linux GPIO and interrupt framework to expose a virtual
GPIO and a virtual interrupt controller for each entry.

Design
======
Each SMEM item contains a header that is used to identify and manage the edge
along with an array of actual entries. The overall structure is captured in
Fig 2 and the details of the header and entries are covered later in this
section. The memory format of all shared structures is little-endian.

The header of each SMEM item contains metadata that describes the processors
using the edge, the version information, and the entry count. The constant
identifier is used as a magic number to enable extraction of the items from a
memory dump. The size of each entry depends upon the version, but the number
of total entries (and hence the size of each SMEM item) is configurable with a
suggested value of 16.
The number of valid entries is used to indicate how many of the Entries Total
are currently used and are current valid.

The content of each SMEM entries is described in Table 2 and consists of a
string identifier and a 32-bit data value. The string identifier must be
unique for each SMEM item. The data value is opaque to SMP2P giving the client
complete flexibility as to its usage.

SMEM Item
---------
The responsibility of creating an SMEM item is with the local processor that is
initiating outbound traffic. After creating the item, the local and remote
processors negotiate the version and feature flags for the item to ensure
compatibility.
Table 4 lists the SMEM item base identifiers. To get the SMEM item ID for a
particular edge, the remote processor ID (Table 3) is added to the base item ID
for the local processor (Table 4). For example, the Apps ==> Modem (id 1) SMEM
Item ID will be 427 + 1 = 428.
--------------------------------------------------
| Description | SMEM ID value |
--------------------------------------------------
| Apps SMP2P SMEM Item base | 427 |
--------------------------------------------------
| Modem SMP2P SMEM Item base | 435 |
--------------------------------------------------
| Audio SMP2P SMEM Item base | 443 |
--------------------------------------------------
| Wireless SMP2P SMEM Item base | 451 |
--------------------------------------------------
| Power SMP2P SMEM Item base | 459 |
--------------------------------------------------
Table 4 - SMEM Items Base IDs
Version and Feature Negotiation
-------------------------------
To enable upgrading without breaking the system and to enable graceful feature
fall-back support, SMP2P supports a version number and feature flags. The
combination of the version number and feature flags enable:
1) SMP2P software updates to be rolled out to each processor separately.
2) Individual features to be enabled or disabled per connection or edge.
The version number represents any change in SMP2P that breaks compatibility
between processors. Examples would be a change in the shared data structures
or changes to fundamental behavior. Each implementation of SMP2P must be able
to support a minimum of the current version and the previous version.
The feature flags represent any changes in SMP2P that are optional and
backwards compatible. Endpoints will negotiate the supported flag when the
SMEM items are created and they cannot be changed after negotiation has been
completed.
Negotiation Algorithm
----------------------
While creating the SMEM item the following algorithm shall be used.
if remote endpoint's SMEM Item exists
Read remote version number and flags
Local version number must be lower of
- remote version number
- highest supported local version number
Flags value is bitwise AND of
- remote feature flags
- locally supported flags
Create SMEM item and populate negotiated number and flags
Interrupt remote processor
if version and flags match, negotiation is complete, else wait
for remote interrupt below.
Else
Create SMEM item and populate it with highest supported version and any
requested feature flag.
Interrupt remote processor.
Wait for Interrupt below.
Upon receiving the interrupt from remote processor and negotiation is not
complete, check the version number and feature flags:
if equal, negotiation is complete.
if remote number is less than local number, and remote number is
supported:
Set local version number to remote version number
Bitwise AND local flags with remote flags
Interrupt remote processor
Negotiation is complete
if remote number is not supported, then negotiation has failed
Set version number to 0xFF and report failure in kernel log.
if remote number is more than local number:
Wait for remote endpoint to process our interrupt and negotiate down.
Creating an SMEM Entry
----------------------
Each new SMEM entry used in data transfer must be created at the end of the
entry array in the SMEM item and cannot be deleted until the system is
rebooted. The following sequence is be followed:
1) Compare Entries Valid and Entries Total to verify if there is room in the
entry array for this request (if not, return error code to client).
2) Populate the Identifier of new entry and do a write memory barrier.
3) Update Entries Valid and Entries Total and do a write memory barrier.
4) Interrupt remote endpoint.
Entry Write
-----------
An entry write is achieved by the following sequence of operations:
1) Update data field in the entry and do a write memory barrier.
2) Interrupt remote endpoint.
Entry Read / Receiving Interrupts
---------------------------------
An interrupt will be received from the remote system for one or more of the following events:
1) Initialization
2) Entry change
3) New Entry
As long as the SMEM item initialization is complete, then each interrupt should
trigger SMP2P to:
1) Compare valid entry data value to cached value and notify client if it
has changed.
2) Compare Entries Valid to cached value. If changed, initialize new entries.
Performance
===========
No performance issues are anticipated as the signaling rate is expected to be
low and is performed in interrupt context which minimizes latency.
Interfaces
================
SMP2P is only supported in the kernel and interfaces with clients through the
GPIO and interrupt subsystems.
To map an entry to the client, the client must add two nodes to the Device
Tree:
1) A node that matches "qcom,smp2pgpio" to create the entry
2) A node that matches the client driver to provide the GPIO pin mapping
The details of the device tree entries are contained in the file
Documentionat/devicetree/bindings/arm/msm/smp2p.txt.

The client can use a match entry for "qcom,smp2pgpio_test_smp2p_7_in" to
retrieve the Device Tree configuration node. Once that node has been
retrieved, the client can call of_get_gpio() to get the virtual GPIO pin and
also use gpio_to_irq() to map the GPIO pin to a virtual interrupt. After that
point, the standard GPIO and Interrupt APIs can be used to manipulate the SMP2P
entries and receive notifications of changes. Examples of typical function
calls are shown below:
of_get_gpio()
gpio_get_value()
gpio_set_value()
gpio_to_irq()
request_irq()
free_irq()
Please reference the unit test code for example usage.
Debug
=====
The state values and names for all entries accessible by the Apps are
accessible through debugfs nodes for general debug purposes.
Debugfs entries for triggering unit-tests are also exported.
Internal logging will be performed using the IPC Logging module to enable
post-mortem analysis.
Testing
=======
On-target unit testing will be done to verify internal functionality and the
GPIO/IRQ API's.
Driver parameters
=================
One module parameter will be provided to change the verbosity of internal logging.
Config options
==============
Configuration of interrupts will be done using Device Tree. By default, the
testing components will be enabled since it does not affect performance and has
a minimal impact on kernel size. However, customers can disable the testing
components for size optimization.
CONFIG_MSM_SMP2P - enables SMP2P core functionality
CONFIG_MSM_SMP2P_TEST - enables unit test support
Dependencies
===========
Requires SMEM for creating the SMEM items.
User Space utilities
====================
No userspace utilities are planned.
Known issues
============
None.
