iwlwifi: mvm: Add FW paging mechanism for the UMAC on SDIO

2015-08-04T18:30:15+00:00

Family 8000 products has 2 embedded processors, the first known as LMAC (lower MAC) and implements the functionality from previous products, the second one is known as UMAC (upper MAC) and is used mainly for driver offloads as well as new features. The UMAC is typically “less” real-time than the LMAC and is used for higher level controls. The UMAC's code/data size is estimated to be in the mega-byte arena, taking into account the code it needs to replace in the driver and the set of new features. In order to allow the UMAC to execute code that is bigger than its code memory, we allow the UMAC embedded processor to page out code pages on DRAM. When the device is slave on the bus(SDIO) the driver saves the UMAC's image pages in blocks of 32K in the DRAM and sends the layout of the pages to the FW. When the FW wants load / unload pages, it creates an interrupt, and the driver uploads / downloads the page to an address in the a specific address on the device's memory. The driver can support up to 1 MB of pages. Add paging mechanism for the UMAC on SDIO in order to allow the program to use a larger virtual space while using less physical memory on the device itself.

iwlwifi: mvm: print secboot status registers on alive timeout

iwlwifi: mvm: Enable Rx Checksum hw

2015-08-04T07:11:49+00:00

TCP software implementation on the host requires extensive computing power. Offloading even some of the TCP/IP stack to the NIC might save a significant overhead. In order to enable this feature on our hw, we need to configure it first. Once done, we mark this capability, to be advertised later to the OS via ieee80211_register_hw. The driver Rx indications for TCP Checksum is integrated within the standard Rx status. The driver responds to those indications as follows: If the frame was tested by hw and checksum ok report CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. Otherwise, report CHECKSUM_NONE.

iwlwifi: pcie: Set scheduler to work on auto mode

2015-08-04T07:11:39+00:00

During NIC initialization shared HW is reset and this disables the scheduler. Some HW platforms do not activate the scheduler after it. Consequently all HCMD sent by the driver stay at the queues which cause to queue stuck. Set the scheduler to work on auto active mode so it would be activated upon change over one of the queues' write pointer. Signed-off-by: Haim Dreyfuss Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach

iwlwifi: pcie: support marbh fw dbg mode

iwlwifi: drop support for early versions of 8000

These early versions are no longer supported. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach

iwlwifi: mvm: don't wait for firmware verification

2015-03-19T13:03:14+00:00

The firmware has a race in the flow that indicates the completion of the authentication. Checking the completion of the authentication is not really needed anyway since we can wait for the ALIVE notification instead. Remove the unneeded and buggy code.

iwlwifi: trans: Take ownership on secure machine before FW load

2015-03-12T07:57:41+00:00

When we load the firmware for the 8000 B step device, it'll verify its signature. In the current version of the hardware, there can be a race between the WiFi firmware being loaded and the Bluetooth firmware being loaded. Check that WiFi is authenticated, if not, take ownership on the authentication machine to make sure that the WiFi firmware will be authenticated.

iwlwifi: mvm: support family 8000 B2/C steps

2015-03-12T07:57:35+00:00

In-order to recognize newer step of the device, the driver must read the chip_version_id from the AUX bus MISC address space. This will determine what firmware file will be loaded. Signed-off-by: Eran Harary Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach
