  • 94a78b79c   bnx2x: Separated FW from the source. ... Browse Code »

    >From now on FW will be downloaded from the binary file using request_firmware.

    There will be different files for every supported chip. Currently 57710 (e1) and
    57711 (e1h).

    File names have the following format: bnx2x--.fw.
    ihex versions of current FW files are submitted in the next patch.

    Each binary file has a header in the following format:

    struct bnx2x_fw_file_section {
    __be32 len;
    __be32 offset;
    }

    struct bnx2x_fw_file_hdr {
    struct bnx2x_fw_file_section init_ops;
    struct bnx2x_fw_file_section init_ops_offsets;
    struct bnx2x_fw_file_section init_data;
    struct bnx2x_fw_file_section tsem_int_table_data;
    struct bnx2x_fw_file_section tsem_pram_data;
    struct bnx2x_fw_file_section usem_int_table_data;
    struct bnx2x_fw_file_section usem_pram_data;
    struct bnx2x_fw_file_section csem_int_table_data;
    struct bnx2x_fw_file_section csem_pram_data;
    struct bnx2x_fw_file_section xsem_int_table_data;
    struct bnx2x_fw_file_section xsem_pram_data;
    struct bnx2x_fw_file_section fw_version;
    }

    Each bnx2x_fw_file_section contains the length and the offset of the appropriate
    section in the binary file. Values are stored in the big endian format.

    Data types of arrays:

    init_data __be32
    init_ops_offsets __be16
    XXsem_pram_data u8
    XXsem_int_table_data u8
    init_ops struct raw_op {
    u8 op;
    __be24 offset;
    __be32 data;
    }
    fw_version u8

    >From now boundaries of a specific initialization stage are stored in
    init_ops_offsets array instead of being defined by separate macroes. The index
    in init_ops_offsets is calculated by BLOCK_OPS_IDX macro:

    #define BLOCK_OPS_IDX(block, stage, end) \
    (2*(((block)*STAGE_IDX_MAX) + (stage)) + (end))

    Security:

    In addition to sanity check of array boundaries bnx2x will check a FW version.
    Additional checks might be added in the future.

  • cec20f36d   firmware: Remove newly-added slicoss and sxg firmware images ... Browse Code »

    These are available elsewhere (for example in the linux-firmware.git
    repository); they have no business being added to the kernel source
    tree.

    We are only putting stuff in the firmware/ directory of the kernel
    source when it's extracted from long-standing drivers which used to
    include it directly.

    We didn't intend to open the floodgates to including megabytes of new
    firmware which was previously being distributed separately.

    Based on original patch by Ben Hutchings and
    Bastian Blank , with the following main changes:

    Separated the mips firmware and rv2p firmware into different files
    to make it easier to update them separately.

    Added some code to fixup the rv2p code with run-time information
    such as PAGE_SIZE.

    Update version to 2.0.0.

  • 949b42544   firmware: convert acenic driver to request_firmware() ... Browse Code »

    We store the firmware in its native big-endian form now, so the loop in
    ace_copy() is modified to use be32_to_cpup() when writing it out.

    We can forget the BSS,SBSS sections of the firmware, since we were
    clearing all the device's RAM anyway. And the text,rodata,data sections
    can all be loaded as a single chunk since they're contiguous (give or
    take a few dozen bytes in between).
