- <chapter id="fbdev">
- <title>Frame Buffer Library</title>
-
- <para>
- The frame buffer drivers depend heavily on four data structures.
- These structures are declared in include/linux/fb.h. They are
- fb_info, fb_var_screeninfo, fb_fix_screeninfo and fb_monospecs.
- The last three can be made available to and from userland.
- </para>
+ <chapter id="clk">
+ <title>Clock Framework</title>
<para>
- fb_info defines the current state of a particular video card.
- Inside fb_info, there exists a fb_ops structure which is a
- collection of needed functions to make fbdev and fbcon work.
- fb_info is only visible to the kernel.
+ The clock framework defines programming interfaces to support
+ software management of the system clock tree.
+ This framework is widely used with System-On-Chip (SOC) platforms
+ to support power management and various devices which may need
+ custom clock rates.
+ Note that these "clocks" don't relate to timekeeping or real
+ time clocks (RTCs), each of which have separate frameworks.
+ These <structname>struct clk</structname> instances may be used
+ to manage for example a 96 MHz signal that is used to shift bits
+ into and out of peripherals or busses, or otherwise trigger
+ synchronous state machine transitions in system hardware.
</para>
<para>
- fb_var_screeninfo is used to describe the features of a video card
- that are user defined. With fb_var_screeninfo, things such as
- depth and the resolution may be defined.
+ Power management is supported by explicit software clock gating:
+ unused clocks are disabled, so the system doesn't waste power
+ changing the state of transistors that aren't in active use.
+ On some systems this may be backed by hardware clock gating,
+ where clocks are gated without being disabled in software.
+ Sections of chips that are powered but not clocked may be able
+ to retain their last state.
+ This low power state is often called a <emphasis>retention
+ mode</emphasis>.
+ This mode still incurs leakage currents, especially with finer
+ circuit geometries, but for CMOS circuits power is mostly used
+ by clocked state changes.
</para>
<para>
- The next structure is fb_fix_screeninfo. This defines the
- properties of a card that are created when a mode is set and can't
- be changed otherwise. A good example of this is the start of the
- frame buffer memory. This "locks" the address of the frame buffer
- memory, so that it cannot be changed or moved.
+ Power-aware drivers only enable their clocks when the device
+ they manage is in active use. Also, system sleep states often
+ differ according to which clock domains are active: while a
+ "standby" state may allow wakeup from several active domains, a
+ "mem" (suspend-to-RAM) state may require a more wholesale shutdown
+ of clocks derived from higher speed PLLs and oscillators, limiting
+ the number of possible wakeup event sources. A driver's suspend
+ method may need to be aware of system-specific clock constraints
+ on the target sleep state.
</para>
<para>
- The last structure is fb_monospecs. In the old API, there was
- little importance for fb_monospecs. This allowed for forbidden things
- such as setting a mode of 800x600 on a fix frequency monitor. With
- the new API, fb_monospecs prevents such things, and if used
- correctly, can prevent a monitor from being cooked. fb_monospecs
- will not be useful until kernels 2.5.x.
+ Some platforms support programmable clock generators. These
+ can be used by external chips of various kinds, such as other
+ CPUs, multimedia codecs, and devices with strict requirements
+ for interface clocking.
