Lizhi,

Sorry for the delay in reviewing v7.

Is it too early to blame it on the July 4 holiday here ?!? :)


All the small stuff looks fine to me.  In this pass I looked at issues that would need a refactoring.  Since it would be a lot of work and I am not the final word on this, it would be good if some others to chime in. Also a couple of new spelling fixes at the end.

Lizhi

This pathset has stalled.

The spelling changes should be fixed.

Some of xleafs may need to be moved and reworked.

The addition of building outside of fpga/xrt is a new feature, and I think is best considered when the first foundational change (this patchset) is in tree.

Could the xleafs' below be dropped from this set ?

Having xrt/ dir
ok with it or it will follow the subdir reorg of fpga/, afaik not a blocker

Location of xrt_bus_type
ok, similar to dfl_bus_type

Non fpga subdevices should go to other subsystems.
looking in drivers/fpga/xrt/lib/xleaf

clock clkfrq ucs these are clocks
should move to drivers/clk/xilinx/

axigate, for fpga partitioning
ok to stay

ddr_calibaration, a memory status checker
should move drivers/memory dfl-emif is similar

devctl, a general purpose misc driver
should move to drivers/mfd

icap, for fpga bitstream writing
ok to stay

vsec, misc small drivers discovered via pci config vsec
should move to drivers/mfd

For include/uapi/linux
collapse include/uapi/linux/xrt/*.h into include/uapi/linux/fpga-xrt.h
There are only 2 files, one really small. fpga-xrt.h follows fpga-dfl.h
The comments are pretty messy, user should be able to scan them.
Try cleaning them up.

Hello,

This is V7 of patch series which adds management physical function driver
for Xilinx Alveo PCIe accelerator cards.
     https://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/alveo.html

This driver is part of Xilinx Runtime (XRT) open source stack.

XILINX ALVEO PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE

Alveo PCIe FPGA based platforms have a static *shell* partition and a
partial re-configurable *user* partition. The shell partition is
automatically loaded from flash when host is booted and PCIe is enumerated
by BIOS. Shell cannot be changed till the next cold reboot. The shell
exposes two PCIe physical functions:

1. management physical function
2. user physical function

The patch series includes Documentation/xrt.rst which describes Alveo
platform, XRT driver architecture and deployment model in more detail.

Users compile their high level design in C/C++/OpenCL or RTL into FPGA
image using Vitis tools.
https://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/vitis/vitis-platform.html

The compiled image is packaged as xclbin which contains partial bitstream
for the user partition and necessary metadata. Users can dynamically swap
the image running on the user partition in order to switch between
different workloads by loading different xclbins.

XRT DRIVERS FOR XILINX ALVEO

XRT Linux kernel driver *xrt-mgmt* binds to management physical function of
Alveo platform. The modular driver framework is organized into several
platform drivers which primarily handle the following functionality:

1.  Loading firmware container also called xsabin at driver attach time
2.  Loading of user compiled xclbin with FPGA Manager integration
3.  Clock scaling of image running on user partition
4.  In-band sensors: temp, voltage, power, etc.
5.  Device reset and rescan

The platform drivers are packaged into *xrt-lib* helper module with well
defined interfaces. The module provides a pseudo-bus implementation for the
platform drivers. More details on the driver model can be found in
Documentation/xrt.rst.

User physical function driver is not included in this patch series.

LIBFDT REQUIREMENT

XRT driver infrastructure uses Device Tree as a metadata format to discover
HW subsystems in the Alveo PCIe device. The Device Tree schema used by XRT
is documented in Documentation/xrt.rst.

TESTING AND VALIDATION

xrt-mgmt driver can be tested with full XRT open source stack which
includes user space libraries, board utilities and (out of tree) first
generation user physical function driver xocl. XRT open source runtime
stack is available at https://github.com/Xilinx/XRT

Complete documentation for XRT open source stack including sections on
Alveo/XRT security and platform architecture can be found here:

https://xilinx.github.io/XRT/master/html/index.html
https://xilinx.github.io/XRT/master/html/security.html
