| Samsung Exynos IOMMU H/W, System MMU (System Memory Management Unit) |
| |
| Samsung's Exynos architecture contains System MMUs that enables scattered |
| physical memory chunks visible as a contiguous region to DMA-capable peripheral |
| devices like MFC, FIMC, FIMD, GScaler, FIMC-IS and so forth. |
| |
| System MMU is an IOMMU and supports identical translation table format to |
| ARMv7 translation tables with minimum set of page properties including access |
| permissions, shareability and security protection. In addition, System MMU has |
| another capabilities like L2 TLB or block-fetch buffers to minimize translation |
| latency. |
| |
| System MMUs are in many to one relation with peripheral devices, i.e. single |
| peripheral device might have multiple System MMUs (usually one for each bus |
| master), but one System MMU can handle transactions from only one peripheral |
| device. The relation between a System MMU and the peripheral device needs to be |
| defined in device node of the peripheral device. |
| |
| MFC in all Exynos SoCs and FIMD, M2M Scalers and G2D in Exynos5420 has 2 System |
| MMUs. |
| * MFC has one System MMU on its left and right bus. |
| * FIMD in Exynos5420 has one System MMU for window 0 and 4, the other system MMU |
| for window 1, 2 and 3. |
| * M2M Scalers and G2D in Exynos5420 has one System MMU on the read channel and |
| the other System MMU on the write channel. |
| The drivers must consider how to handle those System MMUs. One of the idea is |
| to implement child devices or sub-devices which are the client devices of the |
| System MMU. |
| |
| Note: |
| The current DT binding for the Exynos System MMU is incomplete. |
| The following properties can be removed or changed, if found incompatible with |
| the "Generic IOMMU Binding" support for attaching devices to the IOMMU. |
| |
| Required properties: |
| - compatible: Should be "samsung,exynos-sysmmu" |
| - reg: A tuple of base address and size of System MMU registers. |
| - interrupt-parent: The phandle of the interrupt controller of System MMU |
| - interrupts: An interrupt specifier for interrupt signal of System MMU, |
| according to the format defined by a particular interrupt |
| controller. |
| - clock-names: Should be "sysmmu" if the System MMU is needed to gate its clock. |
| Optional "master" if the clock to the System MMU is gated by |
| another gate clock other than "sysmmu". |
| Exynos4 SoCs, there needs no "master" clock. |
| Exynos5 SoCs, some System MMUs must have "master" clocks. |
| - clocks: Required if the System MMU is needed to gate its clock. |
| - power-domains: Required if the System MMU is needed to gate its power. |
