[PATCHv6 1/2] add basic register-field manipulation macros

From: Jakub Kicinski
Date: Tue Aug 16 2016 - 11:19:09 EST


Common approach to accessing register fields is to define
structures or sets of macros containing mask and shift pair.
Operations on the register are then performed as follows:

field = (reg >> shift) & mask;

reg &= ~(mask << shift);
reg |= (field & mask) << shift;

Defining shift and mask separately is tedious. Ivo van Doorn
came up with an idea of computing them at compilation time
based on a single shifted mask (later refined by Felix) which
can be used like this:

#define REG_FIELD 0x000ff000

field = FIELD_GET(REG_FIELD, reg);

reg &= ~REG_FIELD;
reg |= FIELD_PUT(REG_FIELD, field);

FIELD_{GET,PUT} macros take care of finding out what the
appropriate shift is based on compilation time ffs operation.

GENMASK can be used to define registers (which is usually
less error-prone and easier to match with datasheets).

This approach is the most convenient I've seen so to limit code
multiplication let's move the macros to a global header file.
Attempts to use static inlines instead of macros failed due
to false positive triggering of BUILD_BUG_ON()s, especially with
GCC < 6.0.

+ * Bitfield access macros
+ *
+ * This file contains macros which take as input shifted mask
+ * from which they extract the base mask and shift amount at
+ * compilation time. There are two separate sets of the macros
+ * one for 32bit registers and one for 64bit ones.
+ *
+ * Fields can be defined using GENMASK (which is usually
+ * less error-prone and easier to match with datasheets).
+ *
+ * FIELD_{GET,PUT} macros are designed to be used with masks which
+ * are compilation time constants.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ * #define REG_FIELD_A GENMASK(6, 0)
+ * #define REG_FIELD_B BIT(7)
+ * #define REG_FIELD_C GENMASK(15, 8)
+ * #define REG_FIELD_D GENMASK(31, 16)
+ *
+ * Get:
+ * a = FIELD_GET(REG_FIELD_A, reg);
+ * b = FIELD_GET(REG_FIELD_B, reg);
+ *
+ * Set:
+ * reg = FIELD_PUT(REG_FIELD_A, 1) |
+ * FIELD_PUT(REG_FIELD_B, 0) |
+ * FIELD_PUT(REG_FIELD_C, c) |
+ * FIELD_PUT(REG_FIELD_D, 0x40);
+ *
+ * Modify:
+ * reg &= ~REG_FIELD_C;
+ * reg |= FIELD_PUT(REG_FIELD_C, c);
