+SHaRed Memory (SHRM)
+--------------------
+Shared memroy IPC driver is the implementation of SHRM protocol used for the
+communication between application processor (APE) of DB8500 SoC and the modem
+subsystem (CMT) of DB8500 SoC.
+
+System Overview
+---------------
+The APE system is made of cortex A9 dual core SMP, a multimedia DSP and Power
+and Reset Control Management Unit(PRCMU).
+The modem subsystem is made of cortex R4 ARM processor.
+
+Shared Memory Structure
+-----------------------
+The exchange of messages between APE and modem includes copying data in the
+shared area of the DDR. The shared memory structure includes 4 FIFO. Each
+communication channel (common or audio) is made of two FIFO's.
+There are 4 types of messages that are communicated between APE and CMT.
+(these are also referred to as L2 header in the shrm protocol)
+ -> ISI message
+ -> RPC message (filesystem)
+ -> Security message
+ -> Audio message
+First 3 of the above messages are transferred through the common channel and
+audio message is transferred via the audio channel. Now each of these 2 channel
+have two FIFO.
+ -> FIFO-1: APE to CMT common channel
+ -> FIFO-2: CMT to APE common channel
+ -> FIFO-3: APE to CMT audio channel
+ -> FIFO-4: CMT to APE audio channel
+Each of these fifo'a have 4 pointers.
+ -> Shared read pointer
+ -> Shared write pointer
+ -> local read pointer
+ -> local write pointer
+The read/write permission of the above 4 pointer depends on the fifo.
+Size of common fifo is 128KB each and that of audio fifo is 4KB each.
+
+Notification
+------------
+The SHRM protocol uses interrupt generation register in CMT to support crossed
+notifications. For APE to CMT notifications, the APE sets a corresponding bit
+in the interrupt generation register of CMT. This triggers an interrupt in the
+cortex R4 of CMT. This interrupt generation module is regerred to as General
+Output Port(GOP) register. The register is a standard GOP, SET/CLEAR/TOGGLE.
+Below are the list of interrupts:
+ AcMsgPendNotif: APE notifies CMT that it has written some message to the
+ fifo or that there are some messages unread by CMT.
+ AcReadNotif: CMT notifies APE that it has read the message.
+ CaMsgPendNotif: CMT notifies APE that it has written some message to the
+ fifo or that there are some messages unread by APE.
+ CaReadNotif: APE notifies CMT that it has read the message.
+ AcWakeReq: APE has some messages to communicate with CMT and hence
+ requests CMT to wake up.
+ AcWakeAck: CMT acknowledges to AcWakeReq after waking up by sending
+ AcWakeAck.
+ AcSleepReq: APE notifies CMT that it has no more messages to
+ communicate and if required CMT can sleep.
+ AcSleepAck: CMT acknowledges to AcSleepReq.
+ CaWakeReq: CMT has some messages to communicate with APE and hence
+ requests APE to wakeup.
+ CaWakeAck: APE acknowledges to CaWakeReq after waking up by sending
+ this interrupt.
+ CaResetReq: CMT notifies APE that it has reset.
+
+Note: There are 2 copies of first 4 interrupts mentioned above each representing
+for common and audio channel.
+Notation used is 0->common channel and 1->audio channel
+
+FIFO Operation
+--------------
+Initially all the 4 pointer are reset to 0. Now assume that APE wants to send
+some data to modem then it writes to the corresponding fifo starting from the
+address in 'Shared write pointer'. Now CMT will start reading this message
+starting from the address mentioned in 'Shared read pointer' and will continue
+reading the message until it meets the address in 'Shared write pointer' and
+'Shared read pointer' is updated accordingly.
+Consider that APE has written a message in FIFO and CMT has not yet read that
+message, in the mean time APE has another message, so APE will write to the
+shared memory and now instead of updating the 'Shared write pointer', will
+update 'local write pointer' and keep on writing the messages thereby not
+blocking the messages that are sent to the shrm driver through modem has not
+yet read the previous message.
+
+SHRM Message format
+-------------------
+Message is made of a header plus a data. Header is made of several fields which
+includes the L1 and L2 header.
+
+L1 Header:
+ L1 header is used in the message sent by the writer during the
+ initialization of the SHRM protocol. Available L1 headers are
+ BOOT_INFO_REQ - CMT sends this to APE
+ BOOT_INFO_RESP - APE sends this to CMT
+ MESSAGE - Used by both APE and CMT while communicating.
+ The first two L1 headers are used only during the boot and it includes
+ no other data apart from the L1 header.
+
+ BOOT_INFO_REQ
+ _________________________________________
+ |31 ... 28|27 ....... 16|15 ... 8|7 ... 0| bits
+ -----------------------------------------
+ |cmd 0x01 | Reserved |config |Version|
+ | | | Info | Id |
+
+ BOOT_INFO_RESP
+ _________________________________________
+ |31 ... 28|27 ....... 16|15 ... 8|7 ... 0| bits

+ |cmd 0x02 | Reserved |config |Version|
+ | | | Info | Id |

+ _________________________________________
+ |31 ... 28|27 ....... 20|19 ........... 0| bits
+ -----------------------------------------
+ |cmd 0x03 | Counter | Length of data |
+ | | | |
+
+L2 Header:
+ L2 header or L2 mux is used to route specific type of message on
+ specific channel.
+ ISI -> 0
+ RPC -> 1
+ Audio -> 2
+ Security -> 3
+
+SHRM Boot Sequence
+------------------
+ SHRM driver is a communication between two entities APE and CMT. Hence
+there has to be some sync during boot so that a communication can exist. This
+is first initiated by the CMT:-
+
+ CMT APE
+ -------CaWakeReq------->
+
+ <------CaWakeAck--------
+
+ ---msg BOOT_INFO_REQ--->
+
+ <---BOOT_INFO_RESP msg--
+
+APE Initiated communication
+---------------------------
+ APE CMT
+ -------AcWakeReq-------->
+
+ <------AcWakeAck---------
+
+ -----AcMsgPendNotif----->
+
+ <------AcReadNotif-------
+
+ -----AcMsgPendNotif----->
+
+ <------AcReadNotif-------
+ |
+ |
+ -------AcSleepReq------->
+
+ <------AcSleepAck--------
+
+SHRM driver interfaces
+----------------------
+The application using the shrm driver is audio, security, filesystem and the
+android RIL. All of these exist in the user space. Hence in order to pass this
+message to the user space there exist two types of interface
+ Character interface
+ Network interface
+
+Character Interface
+ Character devices are created for RPC, Security and Audi with the major
+ ID being the L2 header. Message queues are created for each of available
+ L2 headers, which will be used during the Rx for copying the message
+ from the shared memory. Further the user space application will reques
+ for this message from the character deivce points which will fet the
+ data from the corresponding queue and provide it to the user space.
+ For the Tx path again the data is to be copied from the user space to
+ the shared memory. There exist static memory for each L2 header or
+ message type each of size 512k. This statch memeory will be used in the
+ Tx path. First the message will be copied from user space to this static
+ memory and then passed on the the shrm protocol where it will be moved
+ to the shared memory.
+ All operations like adding message to queue, removing messages to queue
+ resides in this file.
+Network Interface
+ The CMT used in u8500 platform is the Renessas modem and hence will use
+ phonet for Tx and Rx of the ISI messages. A network driver is registered
+ with name 'shrm0'. On Tx path the message comes via the phonet to the
+ shrm network interface driver. The same is passed to the shrm protocol
+ to transmit it to the modem. On Rx path ISI message is copied to skbuff
+ and corresponding phonet addr is added. This message is routed via
+ phonet, network and then to the user space from the socket depending
+ on the type od message, i.e ISI message or data packets.
+
+Modem Silent Reset
+------------------
+On getting a modem reset interrupt from CMT, APE will inform all its clients via
+netlink so that none of the clients will further send any messages to send it to
+the CMT. Then shrm driver will disable all interrupts reset its state machine,
+clear all message queues, stop any communication if any in progress and waits
+for the modem to book. Since the modem reset status is sent via netlink to the
+user clients, the client responsible for collecting modem dump and reloading
+CMT image will be done and then CMT will be released from reset wherein it
+starts booting up.
+
+Implementation
+--------------
+The shrm protocol driver is spread over many files:
+ shrm_driver.c
+ shrm_protocol.c
+ shrm_fifo.c
+ shrm_driver.h
+ shrm_char.c
+ shrm_net.c
+ shrm_driver.h
+ shrm_config.h
+ shrm_net.h
+ shrm_private.h
+ shrm.h
+
+shrm_driver.c
+-------------
+This file is the main entry for the shrm driver and includes:
+ -> memory ioremapping (shared memory)
+ -> work queue initialization
+ -> registering of interrupts
+ -> suspend/resume control
+ The criteria for shrm driver suspend is that AcSleepReq and
+ CaSleepReq should be set and the Rx message queue for RPC,
+ Security should be empty.
+ -> Rx calback handler - On modem sending any message based on the
+ channel the callback handler gets executed which will add the message
+ to the corresponding message queue or call the shrm network interface
+ if its an ISI message, which will route the packets via phonet.
+
+shrm_protocol.c
+---------------
+This file includes the shrm protocol implementation and also includes Modem
+Silent Reset(MSR) implementation. Interrupt handlers for all interrupts raised
+by modem are present in this file. This file makes access to the shared memory
+for read and write process. Hence a state machine and prorper check for the shrm
+protocol is validated.
+
+shrm_fifo.c
+-----------
+As said shared memory is classified into 4 FIFO's and hence data read or written
+to the shared memoery is nothing by reading/writing to the FIFO. This operations
+made on FIFO is present in this file. It includes the shared and local reader
+and writer pointer, all updation of this pointer happends in this file. The fifo
+is desinged in a manner to sufficiently hold the data in it without encountering
+the fifo full situation.
+
+For futher information on implementation details refer the kernel doc.
