Qualcomm Shared Memory State Machine

The Shared Memory State Machine facilitates broadcasting of single bit state
information between the processors in a Qualcomm SoC. Each processor is
assigned 32 bits of state that can be modified. A processor can through a
matrix of bitmaps signal subscription of notifications upon changes to a
certain bit owned by a certain remote processor.

  • compatible:
    Usage: required
    Value type:
    Definition: must be one of:

          "qcom,smsm"
    
  • qcom,ipc-N:
    Usage: required
    Value type:
    Definition: three entries specifying the outgoing ipc bit used for

          signaling the N:th remote processor
          - phandle to a syscon node representing the apcs registers
          - u32 representing offset to the register within the syscon
          - u32 representing the ipc bit within the register
    
  • qcom,local-host:
    Usage: optional
    Value type:
    Definition: identifier of the local processor in the list of hosts, or

          in other words specifier of the column in the subscription
          matrix representing the local processor
          defaults to host 0
    
  • #address-cells:
    Usage: required
    Value type:
    Definition: must be 1

  • #size-cells:
    Usage: required
    Value type:
    Definition: must be 0

= SUBNODES
Each processor’s state bits are described by a subnode of the smsm device node.
Nodes can either be flagged as an interrupt-controller to denote a remote
processor’s state bits or the local processors bits. The node names are not
important.

  • reg:
    Usage: required
    Value type:
    Definition: specifies the offset, in words, of the first bit for this

          entry
    
  • #qcom,smem-state-cells:
    Usage: required for local entry
    Value type:
    Definition: must be 1 - denotes bit number

  • interrupt-controller:
    Usage: required for remote entries
    Value type:
    Definition: marks the entry as a interrupt-controller and the state bits

          to belong to a remote processor
    
  • #interrupt-cells:
    Usage: required for remote entries
    Value type:
    Definition: must be 2 - denotes bit number and IRQ flags

  • interrupts:
    Usage: required for remote entries
    Value type:
    Definition: one entry specifying remote IRQ used by the remote processor

          to signal changes of its state bits
    

= EXAMPLE
The following example shows the SMEM setup for controlling properties of the
wireless processor, defined from the 8974 apps processor’s point-of-view. It
encompasses one outbound entry and the outgoing interrupt for the wireless
processor.

smsm {
compatible = “qcom,smsm”;

#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;

qcom,ipc-3 = <&apcs 8 19>;

apps_smsm: apps@0 {
    reg = <0>;

    #qcom,smem-state-cells = <1>;
};

wcnss_smsm: wcnss@7 {
    reg = <7>;
    interrupts = <0 144 1>;

    interrupt-controller;
    #interrupt-cells = <2>;
};

};
