[parisc-linux] EISA support

[Matthew Wilcox]

Anyone want to review a patch that makes EISA work?  I've only
tested it on a 715/75 with a Mongoose chip; but Wax is
supposed to be programmatically identical.  The patch is
18k, so rather than post it to the list, it's available from
ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/src/eisa.diff

Willy,

A comment, for your consideration:

Old ISA boards only do a 10-bit decode and it is a frequent occurance
that old drivers don't "clean up" the unused high 6 bits.

Would it be reasonable to mask port numbers to 10 bits for ISA in the
inb/outb routines?

No.  Some old ISA boards do decode the top bits, and actually use them.

Alan,

Correct - 
16-bit ISA cards NEARLY ALWAYS decode the top bits; but 8-bit
cards don't (can't, the wires aren't on that part of the socket).

My comment was based on the i386 branch, which does have such a
config option for the (very) rare installation that needs to support such
a board.

I was only wondering if this would be a REASONABLE place in the 
code to put it.

Actually, I currently do this, but I'm not sure I should be.  The EISA
adapter has to do different things for ISA port IO and EISA port IO.
I'm not sure which IO ports correspond the ISA and which to EISA.
Guessing based on the hp100 driver, I decided that ports less than 0x400
were ISA and the rest were EISA.  Anyone want to explain port numbers
to me properly?  The description in the Mongoose ERS assumes you know
a fair bit about EISA, and I don't.

Here's the current code for this:

+static inline unsigned long eisa_permute(u16 port)
+{
+       if (port >= 0x400) {
+               return 0xfc000000 | port;
+       } else {
+               return 0xfc000000 | ((port & 0x3f8) << 9) | (port & 7);
+       }
+}

The ERS adds in (port & 0xfc00) >> 6, but the test ensures those bits
are clear, so there's no point.

Ah, I found an appendix :-)

EISA cards have a slot number which determines the upper nybble of their
IO port numbers.  Then within that 0xfff of space, they use 0-ff, 400-4ff,
800-8ff, c00-cff.  The rest are ISA ports (or aliases of ISA ports).

So here's the function to use:

static inline unsigned long eisa_permute(u16 port)
{
	if (port & 0x0300) {
		return 0xfc000000 | ((port & 0xfc00) >> 6) | ((port & 0x3f8) << 9) | (port & 7);
	} else {
		return 0xfc000000 | port;
	}
}

Willy,
Sounds like you have it handled already - that 400-4ff range (plus 000-3ff) 
is the very old, 8-bit, ISA i/o port range (on i386 cards).
I think you just saved my very old PROM burner from the scrap heap.

On a separate subject related to your EISA work...
For 8/16-bit ISA cards that do not report resource requirements (i/o,
mem, dma, irq) and for the EISA cards without a "known" ID - perhaps
let the driver accept command line option(s) and leave the details to
the user.  For the IRQ mappings, perhaps something like: xyz_irq=8:zz,
xyz_dma=4:yy, etc. (without the ":ww" just map somewhere handy.)

Looks reasonable to me, but doesn't make any difference so far as
EISA 53c710 cards in my 715/75 are concerned.  There seem to be two
basic problems...

Interrupts - I can see from the 53c710 registers that it is generating
an interrupt, but it doesn't seem to be enabled through to the processor.
I didn't know which irq to request, so I guessed it might be one of the
ASP ones (which I think cover 64 to 95), and did a request_irq for all
32 of them.  Didn't help.

Bus mastering - the 53c710 is attempting to fetch and execute scripts
from memory, but from what I can tell, it is picking up invalid data.
Basically the chips script pointer has moved on one instruction and it
is trying to generate an Illegal Instruction Detected interrupt, and
the dsps register, which I think is used in script fetching, contains
0xffffffff.

atm I am using eisa_in32() to check the card signature, but then
using readb and friends on (EISA_BASE + port) to access the card.
The driver only supports memory mapped chip access on parisc, and
as it is using memory mapped access for the on-board 53c700, it
makes sense to do that for EISA cards as well.  I identify the
card from a 32 bit signature at base+0xc80, which is apparently
correct on Compaq cards, at least - dunno if that is standard.
I'm pretty confident that I am accessing the chips registers ok.

I had to hack the scsi driver a bit to change the parity generation/
checking options, otherwise the chip just sat there saying its external
abort signal was true.  The chip supports the idea of passing parity
through from scsi bus to host bus, but I've no idea what features
might be implemented on my HP cards.  I tried a Compaq card as well,
which behaved the same except (a) I didn't need to do the parity hack,
and (b) it wasn't reported in the devices list on kernel boot.  With
an HP card in, it is listed as 'unknown device at 0xfc001000'.

Although the new code reports the EISA adaptor as Mongoose, that
address has already been reported as "Scorpio Sr. EISA BA".

OK.  I'll commit this basic support then since it works better than
the current support.

I haven't written that code yet.  Basically, I need to allocate a new IRQ
region for EISA interrupts, then on receipt of Asp irq 21 read the EISA
interrupt number from 0xfc01f000.  It seems there may be some extra gunk
needed to handle the TI chipset, but I'll have a go at getting interrupts
to work later today.

Alternatively, we could hack the 53c710 script to generate CPU interrupts
directly :-)  Let me just document how that would work (Grant, please
correct me if I misunderstood):

Instead of generating a PCI/EISA interrupt, generate a write of an
allocated value to the CPU's EIRR (External Interrupt register).
This way, the CPU jumps straight to the scsi chip's interrupt handler
rather than Asp's, which then has to decode which Asp IRQ it was;
then jump to the EISA interrupt handler, decode which EISA IRQ it was,
finally calling the scsi interrupt handler.

We might need to work out some other infrastructure to handle this,
but it's something we should look into at some point.  Clearly I need
to get EISA interrupts working anyway :-)

OK, I haven't figured out how to do this yet.  In order for a device on
the EISA bus to access host ram, I have to program the IO Map in the
adapter.  I'm not sure Linux has an interface I can slot into for this.
Maybe the pci_alloc interface is the right one...

Correct. That's what txn_alloc_irq() is for.
That interface needs to change slightly if someone really wants to start
using it on a broad range of platforms and busses. FWIW, this could
work on any platform which a "local SAPIC" (ie IA64).

excalty - this also cuts out a bunch of IO space reads (and possibly writes).

I think all the needed functions are in place already.

Turns out it's unsufferably ugly to do this right now, due to Mongoose
being a _sibling_ of Asp, not a _child_.  So I've put a nasty patch at
ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/src/eisa-irq.c which works enough
that it seems to claim the IRQs; but the hp100 driver just allocates
IRQ3 and doesn't allow any kind of fixup, so I haven't actually tested it.

I have a plan to allocate Mongoose's IRQ in a nicer way, but that will
have to wait until tomorrow.  What do you think the best way would be
to fix EISA card IRQs?  I have a couple of thoughts:

 * Introduce a new EISA_IRQ_BASE macro that most architectures
   define to 0.
 * Reserve IRQ region 0 for EISA

Any better ideas?

I don't know what other archs do or how hard that would be to drive
into the other arches.

reserve IRQ region 0 for EISA.
It's reserved now to catch broken PCI drivers that treat the IRQ number
as a byte instead of an int. So for machines w/o EISA, it could
continue to remain reserved for that purpose.

asp_find_irq() wants changing:

-               case 0x76:      irq = 21; break; /* Centronics */
+               case 0x76:      irq = 17; break; /* EISA BA */

and needs a default case to avoid returning random irq values.

and you probably want something like this in eisa_probe():

        eisa_dev.region->action = kmalloc(sizeof(struct irqaction) * 32, GFP_ATOMIC);
        memset(eisa_dev.region->action, 0, sizeof(struct irqaction) * 32);

I'm sure '32' is wrong, but at least you need some range checking on
irq in eisa_irq() before using it to index in to the action array.

Now I get one EISA irq immediately that request_irq(irq, eisa_irq, 0, name, NULL)
is called, at which point the above allocation hasn't yet happened ==> bang.
Incidently, eisa_irq() reports "EISA irq 167" for that event so using irq
as a simple index into action[] is probably wrong.

I don't get any further eisa_irq() calls once my scsi card gerneates an
interrupt, but for all I know I may have to poke some registers in the
card before it allows interrupts out.

Umm.  According to the Coral/Cobra (720/730/750) ERS I have here, irq 17
on Asp is error.  The Hardball ERS claims the same for the Cutoff ASIC
(someone's written in pencil `Asp 2' by it).  The comment is bogus;
I'll fix that.

Yep, fixed in my tree.

Probably something along those lines.  Apparently I should mask the byte
returned as well, but the docs say to see the Intel 82357 ISP data sheet
for details.  Grumble.

Looks like we're getting one error, and not resetting the bus.  Wonder why
we're getting an error...

If we make the scsi script do that, the scsi chip wont realise it
has generated an interrupt, so wont stop processing scripts.  The
driver expects th chip to be halted when the int handler is called.
If we had a driver specific to the 53c710 where the scsi script managed
queues of requests itself, there might be scope for emulating an
INTFLY instruction (which is found on newer chips) that way.  The
53c700 doesn't have the capability of writing memory locations from
script.

OK, just committed 2.4.9-pa49 which makes my hp100 EISA card work:

64 bytes from 15.1.50.0: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.5 ms

Haven't made any effort to support busmastering cards yet, but having
ioports, iomem & interrupts working should allow most cards to function.

I tried adding a handler for irq 81 (64 + 17), as you said that was
asp error, at the end of asp_init_chip().

        request_irq(81, asp_error, 0, "asp error", asp);

That handler gets called as soon as it is registered.  Is it likely that
EISA interrupts are blocked until that error is cleared down somehow?

I've updated my 715/100 to -pa57, which gives me startup messages that the
Mirage Was EISA BA is recognized. I plugged in a 3Com 3c597 NIC as a test
card; what I get from the PDC is that an unconfigured EISA card is in and
it'll ignore it, then on boot the NIC is seen as eth0. Unfortunately, when
DHCP tries to pull an address, I get errors that command 0x5800 and 0x2804
didn't complete (twice as a pair), plus a 0x3002 didn't complete when the
DHCP request is sent. Never does pull an IP, but does show as up and
active on eth0. Tonight I'm going to try plugging a static IP into it and
see what happens...

If someone working this wants some dmesg output or anything feel free to
holler...

Similar for 720. Here i got the message:

It recognizes the adapter correctly, but then the driver seems to find

However, the device still doesn't work:

Maybe.  I'm not sure that interrupts 8-15 work; may need to program the

Okay - I just brought things up with -pa61 and get the same errors about
commands not finishing when DHCP tries to use the 3c597 EISA NIC. However,
I scrounged up a static IP, plugged it in, and brought it online. It
*appears* to take the IP and work fine, but I get console errors that
various hexadecimal commands aren't finishing, then a comment that
"perhaps IRQ3 isn't available?" I also can't find a config program to try
resetting the card's IO etc. info - 3c5x9config from stable doesn't appear
to like the HP and I don't have an EISA-based PC to use the DOS utils
on...

Anyone have any ideas? Or, perhaps I can use the DOS utils (if I find an
EISA PC) and set the card to something that -pa61 detects, so they match?

3c597 isn't going to work until someone (probably me...) gets EISA DMA
working.  That depends on getting consensus for how to implement the pci_*
host DMA mapping support (which I think we have now).  Implementing it
is going to depend on some changes such as the iotree.  rbrad & I have
been working on that, and I think we're close to getting finished.

I=B4ve just tested this patch on my 715/75 and it seems the =
EISA-Subsystem works.
Since I don=B4t have an EISA-Card I=B4ve tried an old ISA-Nic (NE2000) =
but the
driver-module has problems detecting the interrupt of the card and i =
have no
idea which one to use.....
I can give the module any irq i want and it says everything is fine but =
of
course no network-traffic possible.....
Is there any chance to bring this card to life?
