This patch adds a generic device driver structure with a field for
referencing an MMIO range. It also provides a structure
initialization procedure that initializes the MMIO range field with
the value read from the PCI BAR0 register for a device.
This patch adds the pci.c and pci.h files, which support access to PCI
configuration registers through a function interface. It defines the
PCI configuration register access I/O port addresses and the
pci_config_addr union and structure to assist in specifying addresses
of PCI configuration registers. It also defines the PCI configuration
register identifier for PCI BAR0.
This patch also adds wrappers for 32-bit 'in' and 'out' port I/O
instructions. They were placed in helpers.S, since they may be useful
to other modules besides just the PCI support module.
According to [1], we should disable non-maskable and maskable interrupts
while initializing RTC. Otherwise, the RTC may be left in an undefined
state (non-functional) if an interrupt occurs. Currently, maskable
interrupts are already disabled, but NMI is not.
This patch adds helpers APIs to enable/disable non-maskable interrupts
(NMI) and changes rtc_init() to disable NMI while initializing the RTC.
NMI enable/disable code is legacy-PC specific therefore it was put in
driver/legacy_pc/ directory.
Regarding the RTC initialization changes, just calling nmi_disable() and
nmi_enable is not enough since NMI and RTC share the same IO port. So We
should also set the NMI_ENABLE bit while selecting the RTC_INDEX.
Additionally, the nmi_disable() call is not strictly required since we
set the NMI_ENABLE bit while selecting the RTC_INDEX. However, to make
clear hat we are disabling NMI and to improve readability (by matching
NMI disable/enable), the nmi_disable() call was purposely used.

All drivers implemented so far are for chips which are only available
on legacy x86 PCs. This commit moves them into a more appropriate folder,
also making the cpu/x86/drivers/ folder ready for other x86 based SoCs.
This commit implements pic_eoi(int irq) and a helper macro PIC_INT(irq).
This first checks which PICs should be 'acked' given an IRQ number, while
the macro returns the actual system interrupt number for the IRQ according
to the offset used on the PIC initialization.
This patch implements the pic_unmask_irq() helper and uses it where
applicable. This function zeros the corresponding bit from the IRQ
number in IMR register.
This patch doesn't implement the pic_mask_irq() helper since it is not
useful at this moment.
This patch adds a driver for the 8254 Programmable Interrupt Timer (PIT).
The driver introduced by this patch programs the PIT to generate interrupt
periodically. The interrupt frequency can be configured by the user.
On each PIT interrupt, a callback configured by the user is called. As
expected, that callback is executed in interrupt context so the user
should be aware of what it is not supposed to do (e.g. to call blocking
functions).
Issues marked as FIXME are all related to missing APIs on the PIC driver
so they will be addressed by a future commit.
This patch adds a driver for Real-Time Clock (RTC). The RTC timer is
suitable to implement some operating system features such as the
system clock. Actually, the RTC will be used to implement the system
clock in galileo platform.
The driver introduced by this patch programs the RTC to generate
interrupt periodically. The interrupt frequency can be configured by the
user. On each RTC interrupt, a callback configured by the user is called.
As expected, that callback is executed in interrupt context so the user
should be aware of what it is not supposed to do (e.g. to call blocking
functions).
This patch also adds the inb() helper function to helpers.h. The helpers
is a wrapper for assembly 'in' instruction.
The Programmable Interrupt Controller is a chip responsible for
translating hardware interrupts to system interrupts. When it
receives an Interrupt Request (IRQ), it triggers the appropriate
interrupt line reaching the appropriate IDT gate, following a
previously setup offset.
There are 2 daisy-chained PICs. PIC1 handles IRQs 0-7 and PIC2
handles IRQs 8-15. If no vector offset is set, an IRQ0, for instance,
would trigger the interrupt 0, clashing with the "Division by zero exception"
handler. Thus the IRQs must be remapped.
This patch implements the PICs initialization through their 4
Initialization Command Words (ICWs) in a very "canonical" way:
- ICW1: the initializing command;
- ICW2: the vector offset for the PIC1 and PIC2 (we add an offset of 32 positions);
- ICW3: the inter-PICs wiring setup (we connect PIC2 to PIC1's IRQ2);
- ICW4: extra systems information (we set PIC1 as Master and PIC2 as slave).
It then masks the Interrupt Mask Register, blocking all IRQs but #2 initially.
These must be unmasked on demand. The IMR is 8-bits long, so setting the n^th bit to 1
would DISABLE the IRQ n while setting it to 0 would ENABLE IRQ n.
As stated, this is an implementation of the legacy 8259 PIC. More
investigation is needed so we decide if it is enough or if we need
the (newer) APIC implementation instead.
This patch also adds the outb() helper function to helpers.h. The helpers
is a wrapper for assembly 'out' instruction.
Finally, since we now properly support hardware interrupts, this patch
also enables IRQs in platform main().
