2009-08-13bnx2x: Using the new FWEilon Greenstein
The new FW improves the packets per second rate. It required a lot of change in the FW which implies many changes in the driver to support it. It is now also possible for the driver to use a separate MSI-X vector for Rx and Tx - this also add some to the complicity of this change. All things said - after this patch, practically all performance matrixes show improvement. Though Vladislav Zolotarov is not signed on this patch, he did most of the job and deserves credit for that.

2009-04-27bnx2x: Separated FW from the source.Vladislav Zolotarov
>From now on FW will be downloaded from the binary file using request_firmware. There will be different files for every supported chip. Currently 57710 (e1) and 57711 (e1h). File names have the following format: bnx2x-<chip version>-<FW version>.fw. ihex versions of current FW files are submitted in the next patch. Each binary file has a header in the following format: struct bnx2x_fw_file_section { __be32 len; __be32 offset; } struct bnx2x_fw_file_hdr { struct bnx2x_fw_file_section init_ops; struct bnx2x_fw_file_section init_ops_offsets; struct bnx2x_fw_file_section init_data; struct bnx2x_fw_file_section tsem_int_table_data; struct bnx2x_fw_file_section tsem_pram_data; struct bnx2x_fw_file_section usem_int_table_data; struct bnx2x_fw_file_section usem_pram_data; struct bnx2x_fw_file_section csem_int_table_data; struct bnx2x_fw_file_section csem_pram_data; struct bnx2x_fw_file_section xsem_int_table_data; struct bnx2x_fw_file_section xsem_pram_data; struct bnx2x_fw_file_section fw_version; } Each bnx2x_fw_file_section contains the length and the offset of the appropriate section in the binary file. Values are stored in the big endian format. Data types of arrays: init_data __be32 init_ops_offsets __be16 XXsem_pram_data u8 XXsem_int_table_data u8 init_ops struct raw_op { u8 op; __be24 offset; __be32 data; } fw_version u8 >From now boundaries of a specific initialization stage are stored in init_ops_offsets array instead of being defined by separate macroes. The index in init_ops_offsets is calculated by BLOCK_OPS_IDX macro: #define BLOCK_OPS_IDX(block, stage, end) \ (2*(((block)*STAGE_IDX_MAX) + (stage)) + (end)) Security: In addition to sanity check of array boundaries bnx2x will check a FW version. Additional checks might be added in the future. Signed-off-by: Vladislav Zolotarov <vladz@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

These are available elsewhere (for example in the linux-firmware.git repository); they have no business being added to the kernel source tree. We are only putting stuff in the firmware/ directory of the kernel source when it's extracted from long-standing drivers which used to include it directly. We didn't intend to open the floodgates to including megabytes of new firmware which was previously being distributed separately. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

2009-01-07fix modules_install via NFSSam Ravnborg
Rafael reported: I get the following error from 'make modules_install' on my test boxes: HOSTCC firmware/ihex2fw /home/rafael/src/linux-2.6/firmware/ihex2fw.c:268: fatal error: opening dependency file firmware/.ihex2fw.d: Read-only file system compilation terminated. make[3]: *** [firmware/ihex2fw] Error 1 make[2]: *** [_modinst_post] Error 2 make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 where the configuration is that the kernel is compiled on a build box with 'make O=<destdir> -j5' and then <destdir> is mounted over NFS read-only by each test box (full path to this directory is the same on the build box and on the test boxes). Then, I cd into <destdir>, run 'make modules_install' and get the error above. The issue turns out to be that we when we install firmware pick up the list of firmware blobs from firmware/Makefile. And this triggers the Makefile rules to update ihex2fw. There were two solutions for this issue: 1) Move the list of firmware blobs to a separate file 2) Avoid ihex2fw rebuild by moving it to scripts As I seriously beleive that the list of firmware blobs should be done in a fundamental different way solution 2) was selected.

We can forget the BSS,SBSS sections of the firmware, since we were clearing all the device's RAM anyway.
