firewire, ieee1394: update Kconfig help Update the Kconfig help texts of both stacks to encourage a general move from the older to the newer drivers. However, do not label ieee1394 as "Obsolete" yet, as the newer drivers have not been deployed as default stack in the majority of Linux distributions yet, and those who start doing so now may still want to install the old drivers as fallback for unforeseen issues. Since Linux 2.6.32, FireWire audio devices can be driven by the newer firewire driver stack too, hence remove an outdated comment about audio devices. Also remove comments about library versions since the 2nd generation of libraw1394 and libdc1394 is now in common use; details on library versions can be read at the wiki link from the help texts.

firewire: IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support should depend on HAS_DMA Commit b3d681a4fc108f9653bbb44e4f4e72db2b8a5734 ("firewire: Use COMPILE_TEST for build testing") added COMPILE_TEST as an alternative dependency for the purpose of build testing the firewire core. However, this bypasses all other implicit dependencies assumed by PCI, like HAS_DMA.

firewire: new stack is no longer experimental The new stack is now recommended over the old one if used for industrial video (IIDC/DCAM) or for storage devices (SBP-2) due to better performance, improved compatibility, added features, and security. It should also be functionally on par with and is more secure than the old ieee1394 stack in the use case of consumer video devices. IP-over-1394 support for the new stack is currently emerging, and a backend of the firedtv DVB driver to the new stack should be available soon. The one remaining area where the old stack is still required are audio devices, as the new stack is not yet able to support the FFADO FireWire audio framework.

firewire: add Kconfig help on building both stacks Alas that won't work so good, because nobody reads help texts. I thought about adding some crude multiple choice selection (build the old stack, build the new stack, build both stacks). It's possible, but it would introduce awkward dummy config variables.

firewire: ohci: Asynchronous Reception rewrite Move the AR DMA descriptors out of the buffer pages, and map the buffer pages linearly into the kernel's address space. This allows the driver to ignore any page boundaries in the DMA data and thus to avoid any copying around of packet payloads. This fixes the bug where S800 packets that are so big (> 4080 bytes) that they can be split over three pages were not handled correctly. Due to the changed algorithm, we can now use arbitrarily many buffer pages, which improves performance because the controller can more easily unload its DMA FIFO. Furthermore, using streaming DMA mappings should improve perfomance on architectures where coherent DMA mappings are not cacheable. Even on other architectures, the caching behaviour should be improved slightly because the CPU no longer writes to the buffer pages. v2: Detect the last filled buffer page by searching the descriptor's residual count value fields in order (like in the old code), instead of going backwards through the transfer status fields; it looks as if some controllers do not set the latter correctly. v3: Fix an old resume bug that would now make the handler run into a BUG_ON, and replace that check with more useful error handling. Increase the buffer size for better performance with non-TI chips. Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de> Maxim Levitsky writes: Works almost perfectly. I can still see RCODE_BUSY errors sometimes, not very often though. 64K here eliminates these errors completely. This is most likely due to nouveau drivers and lowest perf level I use to lower card temperature. That increases latencies too much I think. Besides that the IO is just perfect.

firewire: new driver: nosy - IEEE 1394 traffic sniffer This adds the traffic sniffer driver for Texas Instruments PCILynx/ PCILynx2 based cards. The use cases for nosy are analysis of nonstandard protocols and as an aid in development of drivers, applications, or firmwares. Author of the driver is Kristian Høgsberg. Known contributers are Jody McIntyre and Jonathan Woithe. Nosy programs PCILynx chips to operate in promiscuous mode, which is a feature that is not found in OHCI-1394 controllers. Hence, only special hardware as mentioned in the Kconfig help text is suitable for nosy. This is only the kernelspace part of nosy. There is a userspace interface to it, called nosy-dump, proposed to be added into the tools/ subdirectory of the kernel sources in a subsequent change. Kernelspace and userspave component of nosy communicate via a 'misc' character device file called /dev/nosy with a simple ioctl() and read() based protocol, as described by nosy-user.h. The files added here are taken from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~krh/nosy commit ee29be97 (2009-11-10) with the following changes by Stefan Richter: - Kconfig and Makefile hunks are written from scratch. - Commented out version printk in nosy.c. - Included missing <linux/sched.h>, reported by Stephen Rothwell.
