docs: hid: convert to ReST

Rename the HID documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html
output via the Sphinx build system.

While here, fix the sysfs example from hid-sensor.txt, that
has a lot of "?" instead of the proper UTF-8 characters that
are produced by the tree command.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

The available HID callbacks are:

::
int (*start) (struct hid_device *hdev)
Called from HID device drivers once they want to use the device. Transport
drivers can choose to setup their device in this callback. However, normally
devices are already set up before transport drivers register them to HID core
so this is mostly only used by USB-HID.
- void (*stop) (struct hid_device *hdev)
::
void (*stop) (struct hid_device *hdev)
Called from HID device drivers once they are done with a device. Transport
drivers can free any buffers and deinitialize the device. But note that
->start() might be called again if another HID device driver is loaded on the
device.
Transport drivers are free to ignore it and deinitialize devices after they
destroyed them via hid_destroy_device().
- int (*open) (struct hid_device *hdev)
::
int (*open) (struct hid_device *hdev)
Called from HID device drivers once they are interested in data reports.
Usually, while user-space didn't open any input API/etc., device drivers are
not interested in device data and transport drivers can put devices asleep.
However, once ->open() is called, transport drivers must be ready for I/O.
->open() calls are nested for each client that opens the HID device.
- void (*close) (struct hid_device *hdev)
::
void (*close) (struct hid_device *hdev)
Called from HID device drivers after ->open() was called but they are no
longer interested in device reports. (Usually if user-space closed any input
devices of the driver).
Transport drivers can put devices asleep and terminate any I/O of all
->open() calls have been followed by a ->close() call. However, ->start() may
be called again if the device driver is interested in input reports again.
- int (*parse) (struct hid_device *hdev)
::
int (*parse) (struct hid_device *hdev)
Called once during device setup after ->start() has been called. Transport
drivers must read the HID report-descriptor from the device and tell HID core
about it via hid_parse_report().
- int (*power) (struct hid_device *hdev, int level)
::
int (*power) (struct hid_device *hdev, int level)
Called by HID core to give PM hints to transport drivers. Usually this is
analogical to the ->open() and ->close() hints and redundant.
- void (*request) (struct hid_device *hdev, struct hid_report *report,
int reqtype)
::
void (*request) (struct hid_device *hdev, struct hid_report *report,
int reqtype)
Send an HID request on the ctrl channel. "report" contains the report that
should be sent and "reqtype" the request type. Request-type can be
HID_REQ_SET_REPORT or HID_REQ_GET_REPORT.
This callback is optional. If not provided, HID core will assemble a raw
report following the HID specs and send it via the ->raw_request() callback.
The transport driver is free to implement this asynchronously.
- int (*wait) (struct hid_device *hdev)
::
int (*wait) (struct hid_device *hdev)
Used by HID core before calling ->request() again. A transport driver can use
it to wait for any pending requests to complete if only one request is
allowed at a time.
- int (*raw_request) (struct hid_device *hdev, unsigned char reportnum,

int reqtype)
::
int (*raw_request) (struct hid_device *hdev, unsigned char reportnum,
__u8 *buf, size_t count, unsigned char rtype,
int reqtype)
Same as ->request() but provides the report as raw buffer. This request shall
be synchronous. A transport driver must not use ->wait() to complete such
requests. This request is mandatory and hid core will reject the device if
it is missing.
- int (*output_report) (struct hid_device *hdev, __u8 *buf, size_t len)
::
int (*output_report) (struct hid_device *hdev, __u8 *buf, size_t len)
Send raw output report via intr channel. Used by some HID device drivers
which require high throughput for outgoing requests on the intr channel. This
must not cause SET_REPORT calls! This must be implemented as asynchronous
output report on the intr channel!

Intel Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH)
=================================
A sensor hub enables the ability to offload sensor polling and algorithm
processing to a dedicated low power co-processor. This allows the core
processor to go into low power modes more often, resulting in the increased
battery life.
There are many vendors providing external sensor hubs confirming to HID
Sensor usage tables, and used in several tablets, 2 in 1 convertible laptops
and embedded products. Linux had this support since Linux 3.9.
Intel® introduced integrated sensor hubs as a part of the SoC starting from
Cherry Trail and now supported on multiple generations of CPU packages. There
are many commercial devices already shipped with Integrated Sensor Hubs (ISH).
These ISH also comply to HID sensor specification, but the difference is the
transport protocol used for communication. The current external sensor hubs
mainly use HID over i2C or USB. But ISH doesn't use either i2c or USB.
1. Overview
===========
Using a analogy with a usbhid implementation, the ISH follows a similar model
for a very high speed communication::
----------------- ----------------------
| USB HID | --> | ISH HID |
----------------- ----------------------
----------------- ----------------------
| USB protocol | --> | ISH Transport |
----------------- ----------------------
----------------- ----------------------
| EHCI/XHCI | --> | ISH IPC |
----------------- ----------------------
PCI PCI
----------------- ----------------------
|Host controller| --> | ISH processor |
----------------- ----------------------
USB Link
----------------- ----------------------
| USB End points| --> | ISH Clients |
----------------- ----------------------
Like USB protocol provides a method for device enumeration, link management
and user data encapsulation, the ISH also provides similar services. But it is
very light weight tailored to manage and communicate with ISH client
applications implemented in the firmware.
The ISH allows multiple sensor management applications executing in the
firmware. Like USB endpoints the messaging can be to/from a client. As part of
enumeration process, these clients are identified. These clients can be simple
HID sensor applications, sensor calibration application or senor firmware
update application.
The implementation model is similar, like USB bus, ISH transport is also
implemented as a bus. Each client application executing in the ISH processor
is registered as a device on this bus. The driver, which binds each device
(ISH HID driver) identifies the device type and registers with the hid core.

3. High level processing in above blocks
========================================
3.1 Hardware Interface
----------------------
The ISH is exposed as "Non-VGA unclassified PCI device" to the host. The PCI
product and vendor IDs are changed from different generations of processors. So
the source code which enumerate drivers needs to update from generation to
generation.
3.2 Inter Processor Communication (IPC) driver
----------------------------------------------
Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ipc
The IPC message used memory mapped I/O. The registers are defined in
hw-ish-regs.h.
3.2.1 IPC/FW message types
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There are two types of messages, one for management of link and other messages
are to and from transport layers.
TX and RX of Transport messages
...............................
A set of memory mapped register offers support of multi byte messages TX and
RX (E.g.IPC_REG_ISH2HOST_MSG, IPC_REG_HOST2ISH_MSG). The IPC layer maintains
internal queues to sequence messages and send them in order to the FW.
Optionally the caller can register handler to get notification of completion.
A door bell mechanism is used in messaging to trigger processing in host and
client firmware side. When ISH interrupt handler is called, the ISH2HOST
doorbell register is used by host drivers to determine that the interrupt
is for ISH.
Each side has 32 32-bit message registers and a 32-bit doorbell. Doorbell
register has the following format:
Bits 0..6: fragment length (7 bits are used)
Bits 10..13: encapsulated protocol
Bits 16..19: management command (for IPC management protocol)
Bit 31: doorbell trigger (signal H/W interrupt to the other side)
Other bits are reserved, should be 0.
3.2.2 Transport layer interface
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To abstract HW level IPC communication, a set of callbacks are registered.
The transport layer uses them to send and receive messages.
Refer to struct ishtp_hw_ops for callbacks.
3.3 ISH Transport layer
-----------------------
Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/
3.3.1 A Generic Transport Layer
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The transport layer is a bi-directional protocol, which defines:
- Set of commands to start, stop, connect, disconnect and flow control
(ishtp/hbm.h) for details
- A flow control mechanism to avoid buffer overflows
This protocol resembles bus messages described in the following document:
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/technical-\
specifications/dcmi-hi-1-0-spec.pdf "Chapter 7: Bus Message Layer"
3.3.2 Connection and Flow Control Mechanism
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Each FW client and a protocol is identified by an UUID. In order to communicate
to a FW client, a connection must be established using connect request and
response bus messages. If successful, a pair (host_client_id and fw_client_id)
will identify the connection.
Once connection is established, peers send each other flow control bus messages
independently. Every peer may send a message only if it has received a
flow-control credit before. Once it sent a message, it may not send another one
before receiving the next flow control credit.
Either side can send disconnect request bus message to end communication. Also
the link will be dropped if major FW reset occurs.
3.3.3 Peer to Peer data transfer
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Peer to Peer data transfer can happen with or without using DMA. Depending on
the sensor bandwidth requirement DMA can be enabled by using module parameter
ishtp_use_dma under intel_ishtp.
Each side (host and FW) manages its DMA transfer memory independently. When an
ISHTP client from either host or FW side wants to send something, it decides
whether to send over IPC or over DMA; for each transfer the decision is
independent. The sending side sends DMA_XFER message when the message is in
the respective host buffer (TX when host client sends, RX when FW client
sends). The recipient of DMA message responds with DMA_XFER_ACK, indicating
the sender that the memory region for that message may be reused.
DMA initialization is started with host sending DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY bus message
(that includes RX buffer) and FW responds with DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY_ACK.
Additionally to DMA address communication, this sequence checks capabilities:
if thw host doesn't support DMA, then it won't send DMA allocation, so FW can't
send DMA; if FW doesn't support DMA then it won't respond with
DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY_ACK, in which case host will not use DMA transfers.
Here ISH acts as busmaster DMA controller. Hence when host sends DMA_XFER,
it's request to do host->ISH DMA transfer; when FW sends DMA_XFER, it means
that it already did DMA and the message resides at host. Thus, DMA_XFER
and DMA_XFER_ACK act as ownership indicators.
At initial state all outgoing memory belongs to the sender (TX to host, RX to
FW), DMA_XFER transfers ownership on the region that contains ISHTP message to
the receiving side, DMA_XFER_ACK returns ownership to the sender. A sender
needs not wait for previous DMA_XFER to be ack'ed, and may send another message
as long as remaining continuous memory in its ownership is enough.
In principle, multiple DMA_XFER and DMA_XFER_ACK messages may be sent at once
(up to IPC MTU), thus allowing for interrupt throttling.
Currently, ISH FW decides to send over DMA if ISHTP message is more than 3 IPC
fragments and via IPC otherwise.
3.3.4 Ring Buffers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When a client initiate a connection, a ring or RX and TX buffers are allocated.
The size of ring can be specified by the client. HID client set 16 and 32 for
TX and RX buffers respectively. On send request from client, the data to be
sent is copied to one of the send ring buffer and scheduled to be sent using
bus message protocol. These buffers are required because the FW may have not
have processed the last message and may not have enough flow control credits
to send. Same thing holds true on receive side and flow control is required.
3.3.5 Host Enumeration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The host enumeration bus command allow discovery of clients present in the FW.
There can be multiple sensor clients and clients for calibration function.
To ease in implantation and allow independent driver handle each client
this transport layer takes advantage of Linux Bus driver model. Each
client is registered as device on the the transport bus (ishtp bus).
Enumeration sequence of messages:
- Host sends HOST_START_REQ_CMD, indicating that host ISHTP layer is up.
- FW responds with HOST_START_RES_CMD
- Host sends HOST_ENUM_REQ_CMD (enumerate FW clients)
- FW responds with HOST_ENUM_RES_CMD that includes bitmap of available FW
client IDs
- For each FW ID found in that bitmap host sends
HOST_CLIENT_PROPERTIES_REQ_CMD
- FW responds with HOST_CLIENT_PROPERTIES_RES_CMD. Properties include UUID,
max ISHTP message size, etc.
- Once host received properties for that last discovered client, it considers
ISHTP device fully functional (and allocates DMA buffers)
3.4 HID over ISH Client
-----------------------
Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid
The ISHTP client driver is responsible for:
- enumerate HID devices under FW ISH client
- Get Report descriptor
- Register with HID core as a LL driver
- Process Get/Set feature request
- Get input reports
3.5 HID Sensor Hub MFD and IIO sensor drivers
---------------------------------------------
The functionality in these drivers is the same as an external sensor hub.

Intel Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH)
===============================
A sensor hub enables the ability to offload sensor polling and algorithm
processing to a dedicated low power co-processor. This allows the core
processor to go into low power modes more often, resulting in the increased
battery life.
There are many vendors providing external sensor hubs confirming to HID
Sensor usage tables, and used in several tablets, 2 in 1 convertible laptops
and embedded products. Linux had this support since Linux 3.9.
Intel® introduced integrated sensor hubs as a part of the SoC starting from
Cherry Trail and now supported on multiple generations of CPU packages. There
are many commercial devices already shipped with Integrated Sensor Hubs (ISH).
These ISH also comply to HID sensor specification, but the difference is the
transport protocol used for communication. The current external sensor hubs
mainly use HID over i2C or USB. But ISH doesn't use either i2c or USB.
1. Overview
Using a analogy with a usbhid implementation, the ISH follows a similar model
for a very high speed communication:
----------------- ----------------------
| USB HID | --> | ISH HID |
----------------- ----------------------
----------------- ----------------------
| USB protocol | --> | ISH Transport |
----------------- ----------------------
----------------- ----------------------
| EHCI/XHCI | --> | ISH IPC |
----------------- ----------------------
PCI PCI
----------------- ----------------------
|Host controller| --> | ISH processor |
----------------- ----------------------
USB Link
----------------- ----------------------
| USB End points| --> | ISH Clients |
----------------- ----------------------
Like USB protocol provides a method for device enumeration, link management
and user data encapsulation, the ISH also provides similar services. But it is
very light weight tailored to manage and communicate with ISH client
applications implemented in the firmware.
The ISH allows multiple sensor management applications executing in the
firmware. Like USB endpoints the messaging can be to/from a client. As part of
enumeration process, these clients are identified. These clients can be simple
HID sensor applications, sensor calibration application or senor firmware
update application.
The implementation model is similar, like USB bus, ISH transport is also
implemented as a bus. Each client application executing in the ISH processor
is registered as a device on this bus. The driver, which binds each device
(ISH HID driver) identifies the device type and registers with the hid core.

3. High level processing in above blocks
3.1 Hardware Interface
The ISH is exposed as "Non-VGA unclassified PCI device" to the host. The PCI
product and vendor IDs are changed from different generations of processors. So
the source code which enumerate drivers needs to update from generation to
generation.
3.2 Inter Processor Communication (IPC) driver
Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ipc
The IPC message used memory mapped I/O. The registers are defined in
hw-ish-regs.h.
3.2.1 IPC/FW message types
There are two types of messages, one for management of link and other messages
are to and from transport layers.
TX and RX of Transport messages
A set of memory mapped register offers support of multi byte messages TX and
RX (E.g.IPC_REG_ISH2HOST_MSG, IPC_REG_HOST2ISH_MSG). The IPC layer maintains
internal queues to sequence messages and send them in order to the FW.
Optionally the caller can register handler to get notification of completion.
A door bell mechanism is used in messaging to trigger processing in host and
client firmware side. When ISH interrupt handler is called, the ISH2HOST
doorbell register is used by host drivers to determine that the interrupt
is for ISH.
Each side has 32 32-bit message registers and a 32-bit doorbell. Doorbell
register has the following format:
Bits 0..6: fragment length (7 bits are used)
Bits 10..13: encapsulated protocol
Bits 16..19: management command (for IPC management protocol)
Bit 31: doorbell trigger (signal H/W interrupt to the other side)
Other bits are reserved, should be 0.
3.2.2 Transport layer interface
To abstract HW level IPC communication, a set of callbacks are registered.
The transport layer uses them to send and receive messages.
Refer to struct ishtp_hw_ops for callbacks.
3.3 ISH Transport layer
Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/
3.3.1 A Generic Transport Layer
The transport layer is a bi-directional protocol, which defines:
- Set of commands to start, stop, connect, disconnect and flow control
(ishtp/hbm.h) for details
- A flow control mechanism to avoid buffer overflows
This protocol resembles bus messages described in the following document:
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/technical-\
specifications/dcmi-hi-1-0-spec.pdf "Chapter 7: Bus Message Layer"
3.3.2 Connection and Flow Control Mechanism
Each FW client and a protocol is identified by an UUID. In order to communicate
to a FW client, a connection must be established using connect request and
response bus messages. If successful, a pair (host_client_id and fw_client_id)
will identify the connection.
Once connection is established, peers send each other flow control bus messages
independently. Every peer may send a message only if it has received a
flow-control credit before. Once it sent a message, it may not send another one
before receiving the next flow control credit.
Either side can send disconnect request bus message to end communication. Also
the link will be dropped if major FW reset occurs.
3.3.3 Peer to Peer data transfer
Peer to Peer data transfer can happen with or without using DMA. Depending on
the sensor bandwidth requirement DMA can be enabled by using module parameter
ishtp_use_dma under intel_ishtp.
Each side (host and FW) manages its DMA transfer memory independently. When an
ISHTP client from either host or FW side wants to send something, it decides
whether to send over IPC or over DMA; for each transfer the decision is
independent. The sending side sends DMA_XFER message when the message is in
the respective host buffer (TX when host client sends, RX when FW client
sends). The recipient of DMA message responds with DMA_XFER_ACK, indicating
the sender that the memory region for that message may be reused.
DMA initialization is started with host sending DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY bus message
(that includes RX buffer) and FW responds with DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY_ACK.
Additionally to DMA address communication, this sequence checks capabilities:
if thw host doesn't support DMA, then it won't send DMA allocation, so FW can't
send DMA; if FW doesn't support DMA then it won't respond with
DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY_ACK, in which case host will not use DMA transfers.
Here ISH acts as busmaster DMA controller. Hence when host sends DMA_XFER,
it's request to do host->ISH DMA transfer; when FW sends DMA_XFER, it means
that it already did DMA and the message resides at host. Thus, DMA_XFER
and DMA_XFER_ACK act as ownership indicators.
At initial state all outgoing memory belongs to the sender (TX to host, RX to
FW), DMA_XFER transfers ownership on the region that contains ISHTP message to
the receiving side, DMA_XFER_ACK returns ownership to the sender. A sender
needs not wait for previous DMA_XFER to be ack'ed, and may send another message
as long as remaining continuous memory in its ownership is enough.
In principle, multiple DMA_XFER and DMA_XFER_ACK messages may be sent at once
(up to IPC MTU), thus allowing for interrupt throttling.
Currently, ISH FW decides to send over DMA if ISHTP message is more than 3 IPC
fragments and via IPC otherwise.
3.3.4 Ring Buffers
When a client initiate a connection, a ring or RX and TX buffers are allocated.
The size of ring can be specified by the client. HID client set 16 and 32 for
TX and RX buffers respectively. On send request from client, the data to be
sent is copied to one of the send ring buffer and scheduled to be sent using
bus message protocol. These buffers are required because the FW may have not
have processed the last message and may not have enough flow control credits
to send. Same thing holds true on receive side and flow control is required.
3.3.5 Host Enumeration
The host enumeration bus command allow discovery of clients present in the FW.
There can be multiple sensor clients and clients for calibration function.
To ease in implantation and allow independent driver handle each client
this transport layer takes advantage of Linux Bus driver model. Each
client is registered as device on the the transport bus (ishtp bus).
Enumeration sequence of messages:
- Host sends HOST_START_REQ_CMD, indicating that host ISHTP layer is up.
- FW responds with HOST_START_RES_CMD
- Host sends HOST_ENUM_REQ_CMD (enumerate FW clients)
- FW responds with HOST_ENUM_RES_CMD that includes bitmap of available FW
client IDs
- For each FW ID found in that bitmap host sends
HOST_CLIENT_PROPERTIES_REQ_CMD
- FW responds with HOST_CLIENT_PROPERTIES_RES_CMD. Properties include UUID,
max ISHTP message size, etc.
- Once host received properties for that last discovered client, it considers
ISHTP device fully functional (and allocates DMA buffers)
3.4 HID over ISH Client
Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid
The ISHTP client driver is responsible for:
- enumerate HID devices under FW ISH client
- Get Report descriptor
- Register with HID core as a LL driver
- Process Get/Set feature request
- Get input reports
3.5 HID Sensor Hub MFD and IIO sensor drivers
The functionality in these drivers is the same as an external sensor hub.

may still be pending messages that you can receive with read() but no further
UHID_INPUT events can be sent to the kernel.
You can create a new device by sending UHID_CREATE2 again. There is no need to
reopen the character device.
UHID_INPUT2:
UHID_INPUT2:
You must send UHID_CREATE2 before sending input to the kernel! This event
contains a data-payload. This is the raw data that you read from your device
on the interrupt channel. The kernel will parse the HID reports.
UHID_GET_REPORT_REPLY:
UHID_GET_REPORT_REPLY:
If you receive a UHID_GET_REPORT request you must answer with this request.
You must copy the "id" field from the request into the answer. Set the "err"
field to 0 if no error occurred or to EIO if an I/O error occurred.
If "err" is 0 then you should fill the buffer of the answer with the results
of the GET_REPORT request and set "size" correspondingly.
UHID_SET_REPORT_REPLY:
UHID_SET_REPORT_REPLY:
This is the SET_REPORT equivalent of UHID_GET_REPORT_REPLY. Unlike GET_REPORT,
SET_REPORT never returns a data buffer, therefore, it's sufficient to set the
"id" and "err" fields correctly.

UHID_START:
UHID_START:
This is sent when the HID device is started. Consider this as an answer to
UHID_CREATE2. This is always the first event that is sent. Note that this
event might not be available immediately after write(UHID_CREATE2) returns.
Device drivers might required delayed setups.
This event contains a payload of type uhid_start_req. The "dev_flags" field
describes special behaviors of a device. The following flags are defined:
UHID_DEV_NUMBERED_FEATURE_REPORTS:
UHID_DEV_NUMBERED_OUTPUT_REPORTS:
UHID_DEV_NUMBERED_INPUT_REPORTS:
- UHID_DEV_NUMBERED_FEATURE_REPORTS
- UHID_DEV_NUMBERED_OUTPUT_REPORTS

reports. If numbered reports are used for a type, all messages from

UHID_STOP:
UHID_STOP:
This is sent when the HID device is stopped. Consider this as an answer to
UHID_DESTROY.
If you didn't destroy your device via UHID_DESTROY, but the kernel sends an
UHID_STOP event, this should usually be ignored. It means that the kernel
reloaded/changed the device driver loaded on your HID device (or some other
maintenance actions happened).
You can usually ignored any UHID_STOP events safely.
UHID_OPEN:
UHID_OPEN:
This is sent when the HID device is opened. That is, the data that the HID
device provides is read by some other process. You may ignore this event but
it is useful for power-management. As long as you haven't received this event
there is actually no other process that reads your data so there is no need to
send UHID_INPUT2 events to the kernel.
UHID_CLOSE:
UHID_CLOSE:
This is sent when there are no more processes which read the HID data. It is
the counterpart of UHID_OPEN and you may as well ignore this event.
UHID_OUTPUT:
UHID_OUTPUT:
This is sent if the HID device driver wants to send raw data to the I/O
device on the interrupt channel. You should read the payload and forward it to
the device. The payload is of type "struct uhid_output_req".
This may be received even though you haven't received UHID_OPEN, yet.
UHID_GET_REPORT:
UHID_GET_REPORT:
This event is sent if the kernel driver wants to perform a GET_REPORT request
on the control channeld as described in the HID specs. The report-type and
report-number are available in the payload.

UHID_SET_REPORT:
UHID_SET_REPORT:
This is the SET_REPORT equivalent of UHID_GET_REPORT. On receipt, you shall
send a SET_REPORT request to your hid device. Once it replies, you must tell
the kernel about it via UHID_SET_REPORT_REPLY.
The same restrictions as for UHID_GET_REPORT apply.
