28.Dt PCI 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm pci
32.Nd generic PCI driver
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd device pci
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm
38driver provides a way for userland programs to read and write
39.Tn PCI
40configuration registers.
41It also provides a way for userland programs to get a list of all
42.Tn PCI
43devices, or all
44.Tn PCI
45devices that match various patterns.
46.Pp
47Since the
48.Nm
49driver provides a write interface for
50.Tn PCI
51configuration registers, system administrators should exercise caution when
52granting access to the
53.Nm
54device.
55If used improperly, this driver can allow userland applications to
56crash a machine or cause data loss.
57.Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION
58It is only necessary to specify one
59.Nm
60controller in the kernel.
61Additional
62.Tn PCI
63busses are handled automatically as they are encountered.
64.Sh IOCTLS
65The following
66.Xr ioctl 2
67calls are supported by the
68.Nm
69driver.
70They are defined in the header file
71.In sys/pciio.h .
72.Bl -tag -width ".It Dv PCIOCGETCONF"
73.It Dv PCIOCGETCONF
74This
75.Xr ioctl 2
76takes a
77.Va pci_conf_io
78structure.
79It allows the user to retrieve information on all
80.Tn PCI
81devices in the system, or on
82.Tn PCI
83devices matching patterns supplied by the user.
84The call may set
85.Va errno
86to any value specified in either
87.Xr copyin 9
88or
89.Xr copyout 9 .
90The
91.Va pci_conf_io
92structure consists of a number of fields:
93.Bl -tag -width ".Fa match_buf_len"
94.It Fa pat_buf_len
95The length, in bytes, of the buffer filled with user-supplied patterns.
96.It Fa num_patterns
97The number of user-supplied patterns.
98.It Fa patterns
99Pointer to a buffer filled with user-supplied patterns.
100.Fa patterns
101is a pointer to
102.Fa num_patterns
103.Vt pci_match_conf
104structures.
105The
106.Vt pci_match_conf
107structure consists of the following elements:
108.Bl -tag -width ".Fa pd_vendor"
109.It Fa pc_sel
110.Tn PCI
111domain, bus, slot and function.
112.It Fa pd_name
113.Tn PCI
114device driver name.
115.It Fa pd_unit
116.Tn PCI
117device driver unit number.
118.It Fa pc_vendor
119.Tn PCI
120vendor ID.
121.It Fa pc_device
122.Tn PCI
123device ID.
124.It Fa pc_class
125.Tn PCI
126device class.
127.It Fa flags
128The flags describe which of the fields the kernel should match against.
129A device must match all specified fields in order to be returned.
130The match flags are enumerated in the
131.Vt pci_getconf_flags
132structure.
133Hopefully the flag values are obvious enough that they do not need to
134described in detail.
135.El
136.It Fa match_buf_len
137Length of the
138.Fa matches
139buffer allocated by the user to hold the results of the
140.Dv PCIOCGETCONF
141query.
142.It Fa num_matches
143Number of matches returned by the kernel.
144.It Fa matches
145Buffer containing matching devices returned by the kernel.
146The items in this buffer are of type
147.Vt pci_conf ,
148which consists of the following items:
149.Bl -tag -width ".Fa pc_subvendor"
150.It Fa pc_sel
151.Tn PCI
152domain, bus, slot and function.
153.It Fa pc_hdr
154.Tn PCI
155header type.
156.It Fa pc_subvendor
157.Tn PCI
158subvendor ID.
159.It Fa pc_subdevice
160.Tn PCI
161subdevice ID.
162.It Fa pc_vendor
163.Tn PCI
164vendor ID.
165.It Fa pc_device
166.Tn PCI
167device ID.
168.It Fa pc_class
169.Tn PCI
170device class.
171.It Fa pc_subclass
172.Tn PCI
173device subclass.
174.It Fa pc_progif
175.Tn PCI
176device programming interface.
177.It Fa pc_revid
178.Tn PCI
179revision ID.
180.It Fa pd_name
181Driver name.
182.It Fa pd_unit
183Driver unit number.
184.El
185.It Fa offset
186The offset is passed in by the user to tell the kernel where it should
187start traversing the device list.
188The value passed out by the kernel
189points to the record immediately after the last one returned.
190The user may
191pass the value returned by the kernel in subsequent calls to the
192.Dv PCIOCGETCONF
193ioctl.
194If the user does not intend to use the offset, it must be set to zero.
195.It Fa generation
196.Tn PCI
197configuration generation.
198This value only needs to be set if the offset is set.
199The kernel will compare the current generation number of its internal
200device list to the generation passed in by the user to determine whether
201its device list has changed since the user last called the
202.Dv PCIOCGETCONF
203ioctl.
204If the device list has changed, a status of
205.Dv PCI_GETCONF_LIST_CHANGED
206will be passed back.
207.It Fa status
208The status tells the user the disposition of his request for a device list.
209The possible status values are:
210.Bl -ohang
211.It Dv PCI_GETCONF_LAST_DEVICE
212This means that there are no more devices in the PCI device list after the
213ones returned in the
214.Fa matches
215buffer.
216.It Dv PCI_GETCONF_LIST_CHANGED
217This status tells the user that the
218.Tn PCI
219device list has changed since his last call to the
220.Dv PCIOCGETCONF
221ioctl and he must reset the
222.Fa offset
223and
224.Fa generation
225to zero to start over at the beginning of the list.
226.It Dv PCI_GETCONF_MORE_DEVS
227This tells the user that his buffer was not large enough to hold all of the
228remaining devices in the device list that possibly match his criteria.
229It is possible for this status to be returned, even when none of the remaining
230devices in the list would match the user's criteria.
231.It Dv PCI_GETCONF_ERROR
232This indicates a general error while servicing the user's request.
233If the
234.Fa pat_buf_len
235is not equal to
236.Fa num_patterns
237times
238.Fn sizeof "struct pci_match_conf" ,
239.Va errno
240will be set to
241.Er EINVAL .
242.El
243.El
244.It Dv PCIOCREAD
245This
246.Xr ioctl 2
247reads the
248.Tn PCI
249configuration registers specified by the passed-in
250.Vt pci_io
251structure.
252The
253.Vt pci_io
254structure consists of the following fields:
255.Bl -tag -width ".Fa pi_width"
256.It Fa pi_sel
257A
258.Vt pcisel
259structure which specifies the domain, bus, slot and function the user would
260like to query.
261If the specific bus is not found,
262.Va errno
263will be set to
264.Er ENODEV
265and -1 returned from the ioctl.
266.It Fa pi_reg
267The
268.Tn PCI
269configuration register the user would like to access.
270.It Fa pi_width
271The width, in bytes, of the data the user would like to read.
272This value may be either 1, 2, or 4.
2733-byte reads and reads larger than 4 bytes are not supported.
274If an invalid width is passed,
275.Va errno
276will be set to
277.Er EINVAL .
278.It Fa pi_data
279The data returned by the kernel.
280.El
281.It Dv PCIOCWRITE
282This
283.Xr ioctl 2
284allows users to write to the
285.Tn PCI
286specified in the passed-in
287.Vt pci_io
288structure.
289The
290.Vt pci_io
291structure is described above.
292The limitations on data width described for
293reading registers, above, also apply to writing
294.Tn PCI
295configuration registers.

306.Sh HISTORY
307The
308.Nm
309driver (not the kernel's
310.Tn PCI
311support code) first appeared in
312.Fx 2.2 ,
313and was written by Stefan Esser and Garrett Wollman.
314Support for device listing and matching was re-implemented by
315Kenneth Merry, and first appeared in
316.Fx 3.0 .

319.Sh BUGS
320It is not possible for users to specify an accurate offset into the device
321list without calling the
322.Dv PCIOCGETCONF
323at least once, since they have no way of knowing the current generation
324number otherwise.
325This probably is not a serious problem, though, since
326users can easily narrow their search by specifying a pattern or patterns
327for the kernel to match against.
