29.Dt PCI 4
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm pci
33.Nd generic PCI driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd device pci
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39driver provides a way for userland programs to read and write
40.Tn PCI
41configuration registers.
42It also provides a way for userland programs to get a list of all
43.Tn PCI
44devices, or all
45.Tn PCI
46devices that match various patterns.
47.Pp
48Since the
49.Nm
50driver provides a write interface for
51.Tn PCI
52configuration registers, system administrators should exercise caution when
53granting access to the
54.Nm
55device.
56If used improperly, this driver can allow userland applications to
57crash a machine or cause data loss.
58.Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION
59It is only necessary to specify one
60.Nm
61controller in the kernel.
62Additional
63.Tn PCI
64busses are handled automatically as they are encountered.
65.Sh IOCTLS
66The following
67.Xr ioctl 2
68calls are supported by the
69.Nm
70driver.
71They are defined in the header file
72.In sys/pciio.h .
73.Bl -tag -width ".It Dv PCIOCGETCONF"
74.It Dv PCIOCGETCONF
75This
76.Xr ioctl 2
77takes a
78.Va pci_conf_io
79structure.
80It allows the user to retrieve information on all
81.Tn PCI
82devices in the system, or on
83.Tn PCI
84devices matching patterns supplied by the user.
85The
86.Va pci_conf_io
87structure consists of a number of fields:
88.Bl -tag -width ".Fa match_buf_len"
89.It Fa pat_buf_len
90The length, in bytes, of the buffer filled with user-supplied patterns.
91.It Fa num_patterns
92The number of user-supplied patterns.
93.It Fa patterns
94Pointer to a buffer filled with user-supplied patterns.
95.Fa patterns
96is a pointer to
97.Va num_patterns
98.Vt pci_match_conf
99structures.
100The
101.Vt pci_match_conf
102structure consists of the following elements:
103.Bl -tag -width ".Fa pd_vendor"
104.It Fa pc_sel
105.Tn PCI
106bus, slot and function.
107.It Fa pd_name
108.Tn PCI
109device driver name.
110.It Fa pd_unit
111.Tn PCI
112device driver unit number.
113.It Fa pc_vendor
114.Tn PCI
115vendor ID.
116.It Fa pc_device
117.Tn PCI
118device ID.
119.It Fa pc_class
120.Tn PCI
121device class.
122.It Fa flags
123The flags describe which of the fields the kernel should match against.
124A device must match all specified fields in order to be returned.
125The match flags are enumerated in the
126.Vt pci_getconf_flags
127structure.
128Hopefully the flag values are obvious enough that they don't need to
129described in detail.
130.El
131.It Fa match_buf_len
132Length of the
133.Fa matches
134buffer allocated by the user to hold the results of the
135.Dv PCIOCGETCONF
136query.
137.It Fa num_matches
138Number of matches returned by the kernel.
139.It Fa matches
140Buffer containing matching devices returned by the kernel.
141The items in this buffer are of type
142.Vt pci_conf ,
143which consists of the following items:
144.Bl -tag -width ".Fa pc_subvendor"
145.It Fa pc_sel
146.Tn PCI
147bus, slot and function.
148.It Fa pc_hdr
149.Tn PCI
150header type.
151.It Fa pc_subvendor
152.Tn PCI
153subvendor ID.
154.It Fa pc_subdevice
155.Tn PCI
156subdevice ID.
157.It Fa pc_vendor
158.Tn PCI
159vendor ID.
160.It Fa pc_device
161.Tn PCI
162device ID.
163.It Fa pc_class
164.Tn PCI
165device class.
166.It Fa pc_subclass
167.Tn PCI
168device subclass.
169.It Fa pc_progif
170.Tn PCI
171device programming interface.
172.It Fa pc_revid
173.Tn PCI
174revision ID.
175.It Fa pd_name
176Driver name.
177.It Fa pd_unit
178Driver unit number.
179.El
180.It Fa offset
181The offset is passed in by the user to tell the kernel where it should
182start traversing the device list.
183The value passed out by the kernel
184points to the record immediately after the last one returned.
185The user may
186pass the value returned by the kernel in subsequent calls to the
187.Dv PCIOCGETCONF
188ioctl.
189If the user does not intend to use the offset, it must be set to zero.
190.It Fa generation
191.Tn PCI
192configuration generation.
193This value only needs to be set if the offset is set.
194The kernel will compare the current generation number of its internal
195device list to the generation passed in by the user to determine whether
196its device list has changed since the user last called the
197.Dv PCIOCGETCONF
198ioctl.
199If the device list has changed, a status of
200.Dv PCI_GETCONF_LIST_CHANGED
201will be passed back.
202.It Fa status
203The status tells the user the disposition of his request for a device list.
204The possible status values are:
205.Bl -ohang
206.It Dv PCI_GETCONF_LAST_DEVICE
207This means that there are no more devices in the PCI device list after the
208ones returned in the
209.Fa matches
210buffer.
211.It Dv PCI_GETCONF_LIST_CHANGED
212This status tells the user that the
213.Tn PCI
214device list has changed since his last call to the
215.Dv PCIOCGETCONF
216ioctl and he must reset the
217.Fa offset
218and
219.Fa generation
220to zero to start over at the beginning of the list.
221.It Dv PCI_GETCONF_MORE_DEVS
222This tells the user that his buffer was not large enough to hold all of the
223remaining devices in the device list that possibly match his criteria.
224It is possible for this status to be returned, even when none of the remaining
225devices in the list would match the user's criteria.
226.It Dv PCI_GETCONF_ERROR
227This indicates a general error while servicing the user's request.
228A more
229specific indication of the problem may or may not be printed in the kernel
230message buffer (and by implication, the system console).
231.El
232.El
233.It Dv PCIOCREAD
234This
235.Xr ioctl 2
236reads the
237.Tn PCI
238configuration registers specified by the passed-in
239.Vt pci_io
240structure.
241The
242.Vt pci_io
243structure consists of the following fields:
244.Bl -tag -width ".Fa pi_width"
245.It Fa pi_sel
246A
247.Vt pcisel
248structure which specifies the bus, slot and function the user would like to
249query.
250.It Fa pi_reg
251The
252.Tn PCI
253configuration register the user would like to access.
254.It Fa pi_width
255The width, in bytes, of the data the user would like to read.
256This value may be either 1, 2, or 4.
2573-byte reads and reads larger than 4 bytes are not supported.
258.It Fa pi_data
259The data returned by the kernel.
260.El
261.It Dv PCIOCWRITE
262This
263.Xr ioctl 2
264allows users to write to the
265.Tn PCI
266specified in the passed-in
267.Vt pci_io
268structure.
269The
270.Vt pci_io
271structure is described above.
272The limitations on data width described for
273reading registers, above, also apply to writing
274.Tn PCI
275configuration registers.
276.El
277.Sh FILES
278.Bl -tag -width /dev/pci -compact
279.It Pa /dev/pci
280Character device for the

288.Sh HISTORY
289The
290.Nm
291driver (not the kernel's
292.Tn PCI
293support code) first appeared in
294.Fx 2.2 ,
295and was written by Stefan Esser and Garrett Wollman.
296Support for device listing and matching was re-implemented by
297Kenneth Merry, and first appeared in
298.Fx 3.0 .

301.Sh BUGS
302It isn't possible for users to specify an accurate offset into the device
303list without calling the
304.Dv PCIOCGETCONF
305at least once, since they have no way of knowing the current generation
306number otherwise.
307This probably isn't a serious problem, though, since
308users can easily narrow their search by specifying a pattern or patterns
309for the kernel to match against.
