DPAA2 (Data Path Acceleration Architecture) consists in mechanisms for processing Ethernet packets, queue management, accelerators, etc. The Management Complex (mc) is a hardware entity that manages the DPAA2 hardware resources. It provides an object-based abstraction for software drivers to use the DPAA2 hardware. The MC mediates operations such as create, discover, destroy of DPAA2 objects. The MC provides memory-mapped I/O command interfaces (MC portals) which DPAA2 software drivers use to operate on DPAA2 objects. A DPRC is a container object that holds other types of DPAA2 objects. Each object in the DPRC is a Linux device and bound to a driver. The MC-bus driver is a platform driver (different from PCI or platform bus). The DPRC driver does runtime management of a bus instance. It performs the initial scan of the DPRC and handles changes in the DPRC configuration (adding/removing objects). All objects inside a container share the same hardware isolation context, meaning that only an entire DPRC can be assigned to a virtual machine. When a container is assigned to a virtual machine, all the objects within that container are assigned to that virtual machine. The DPRC container assigned to the virtual machine is not allowed to change contents (add/remove objects) by the guest. The restriction is set by the host and enforced by the mc hardware. The DPAA2 objects can be directly assigned to the guest. However the MC portals (the memory mapped command interface to the MC) need to be emulated because there are commands that configure the interrupts and the isolation IDs which are virtual in the guest. Example: echo vfio-fsl-mc > /sys/bus/fsl-mc/devices/dprc.2/driver_override echo dprc.2 > /sys/bus/fsl-mc/drivers/vfio-fsl-mc/bind The dprc.2 is bound to the VFIO driver and all the objects within dprc.2 are going to be bound to the VFIO driver. This patch adds the infrastructure for VFIO support for fsl-mc devices. Subsequent patches will add support for binding and secure assigning these devices using VFIO.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
