Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] net: Linn Ethernet Packet Sniffer driver
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2015 14:26:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1424698609.git.stathis.voukelatos@linn.co.uk> (raw)
This patch adds support the Ethernet Packet Sniffer H/W module
developed by Linn Products Ltd and found in the IMG Pistachio SoC.
The module allows Ethernet packets to be parsed, matched against
a user-defined pattern and timestamped. It sits between a 100M
Ethernet MAC and PHY and is completely passive with respect to
Ethernet frames.
Matched packet bytes and timestamp values are returned through a
FIFO. Timestamps are provided to the module through an externally
generated Gray-encoded counter.
The command string for packet matching is stored in module RAM
and consists of a sequence of 16-bit entries. Each entry includes
an 8-bit command code and and 8-bit data value. Valid command
codes are:
0 - Don't care
1 - Match: packet data must match command string byte
2 - Copy: packet data will be copied to FIFO
3 - Match/Stamp: if packet data matches string byte, a timestamp
is copied into the FIFO
4 - Copy/Done: packet data will be copied into the FIFO.
This command terminates the command string.
The driver consists of two modules:
- Core: it provides a common framework for managing backend packet
sniffer implementations. Each backend channel is registered
by the core as a netdev, which can be accessed from user
space through a raw packet socket.
- Ethernet Packet Sniffer backend: provides the driver for the
Linn Ethernet Packet Sniffer H/W modules.
The split between a core and backend modules allows for other
implementations to be added in the future apart of the Ethernet
packet sniffer presented in this patch set.
Changes for v3:
* Code moved into vendor specific directory
* Device tree binding updated and streamlined. Cyclecounter params
are now calculated dynamically.
Changes for v2:
* Complete redesign of core framework to use netdev instead of
the generic netlink framework
* Updated device tree binding
* A number of minor code improvements suggested by code review
