PATCH 1/1 UIO: Implement a UIO interface for the SMX Cryptengine

This patch implements a UIO interface for the SMX Cryptengine.

The Cryptengine found on the Nias Digital SMX board is best suited for a UIO interface. It is not wired in to the cryptographic API as the engine handles it's own keys, algorithms, everything. All that we know about is that if there's room in the buffer, you can write data to it and when there's data ready, you read it out again.

There isn't necessarily even any direct correlation between data going in and data coming out again, the engine may consume or generate data all on its own.

This driver is for proprietary hardware but we're always told to submit the drivers anyway; here you are. :-)

I've got no problems with that, but I'd like to know if that board can be bought somewhere (the niasdigital.com homepage doesn't mention it) and if and under which license the userspace part of the driver is available. The homepage says you're in favor of the GPL, so if it can be checked out or downloaded somewhere, please mention it, maybe in the Kconfig help text. If the userspace part is proprietary, please mention that, too.

There are some minor problems with your patch, see below.
Note: testing your patches with checkpatch.pl would help...

this needs to be "GPL v2" (lowercase 'v'), otherwise it won't build the module (at least on 2.6.25-rc5).

I've got no problems with that, but I'd like to know if that board can be bought somewhere (the niasdigital.com homepage doesn't mention it) and if and under which license the userspace part of the driver is available. The homepage says you're in favor of the GPL, so if it can be checked out or downloaded somewhere, please mention it, maybe in the Kconfig help text. If the userspace part is proprietary, please mention that, too.

The userspace part will be released under the GPL along with the hardware itself, Q4 '08. Have changed the Kconfig text to reflect this.

Of course this means for the next few months I will be the only direct user of this driver, but I'm also submitting it in the hope that I can convince others that it's a good thing to do. I'm an active member of AVRFreaks, an AVR32 support forum, and I spend far too much of my life trying to convince people that polling the peripheral and mmap'ing /dev/mem is not a good way to go. Fingers crossed that this driver at least serves to help educate until the SMX hardware is released and it can serve it's main purpose :-)

On the hardware we have there is no possibility that the interrupt is shared. That said, it's little effort to allow the sharing and makes the whole thing more future-proof, changed.

You have an off-by-1 in the resource size. ioremap and struct resource are not equal in their expectations. You probably want to do something like:

	info->mem[0].size = regs->end - regs->start + 1;
	info->mem[0].internal_addr = ioremap(regs->start, info->mem[0].size);
	...

and make sure that your resource end doesn't overlap with a start address of an unrelated resource in your definition. /proc/iomem tends to be useful for this.

You're right, thanks. I hadn't noticed since we don't actually access all the way to the end of the region in normal use.

Yup. In our case this is fairly easy as the engine just takes up a whole Chip Select's worth of address space on an AVR32 AT32AP7000.
