I finally got it working. Many thanks to all, especially to Doug
and John. It should have worked all the time with John's code
above but due to a stupidity on my part (I specified "end" as
"start + count" and not as "start + count - 1") the allocation
failed. It was Doug's suggestion to disable resource allocation
in acpi.c -- so the memory area was unused and I could allocate
it. After entering some debugging code into acpi_resource.c and
acpi.c, which do not forgive errors like the above, I found my
bug ;-)
No I learned a bit about acpi and found curious things like this:
When using
BUS_ALLOC_RESOURCE( device_get_parent(device_get_parent(dev)), ...
it is pci0 appearing in acpi_alloc_resource() to allocate the
resource with the parameters I specify (count == 0x4000).
When using only
BUS_ALLOC_RESOURCE( device_get_parent(dev), ...
it is hostb0 appearing in acpi_alloc_resource() but count
got changed to 0x80. However start and end remain unchanged
and do not match end = start + count - 1 anymore.
Thanks again,
-Andre

OK, I have modified my driver exactly this way, but still no success.
It seems my code didn't make it to the list (the attachment
was stripped) so I include it inline now. Testing is quite
simple, every feedback is welcome:
1. check if "devinfo -r" spits out some free "I/O memory addresses"
ranges under acpi0 with at minimum 4 bytes length.
2. select one of them and assign its start address to rstart in
eccmon_probe() at the line which reads now
u_long rstart = 0xfed14000;
(this is the address I use for testing)
3. compile, kldload and dmesg. I always get the message
"bus_alloc_resource() returned NULL".
Thanks,

You don't actually need to do that. pci0 will pass the request up to acpi0
eventually. You just need to ask pci0 to allocate it for you and it will see
you are not a direct child and take the 'passthrough' case here:
struct resource *
pci_alloc_resource(device_t dev, device_t child, int type, int *rid,
u_long start, u_long end, u_long count, u_int flags)
{
...
if (device_get_parent(child) != dev)
return (BUS_ALLOC_RESOURCE(device_get_parent(dev), child,
type, rid, start, end, count, flags));
...
}
Rather than trying to allocate the whole chunk of the ACPI resource, I would
just do a specific allocation like so:
rid = 0;
res = BUS_ALLOC_RESOURCE(device_get_parent(device_get_parent(dev)),
dev, SYS_RES_MEMORY, &rid, , , , RF_ACTIVE);

I thought the same so I decided to lookup the acpi devclass and then acpi0 from there. To be sure, I compared the resulting pointers of acpi0 with the one found after the four device_get_parent().

Well, then I still must be doing something wrong. I have attached my driver skeleton which does the following: 1. device_identify() which does a device_add_child() if needed 2. device_probe() which just tries to bus_alloc_resource() a SYS_RES_MEMORY resource from ac

Thanks a lot for this interesting information. I see, things are more
complicated than I thought. There is no easy way having a quick glance
at "foreign" memory during probing. Now I have to figure out how to get
the order of probing/attaching done. One thing I could do is:
1. attach mydriver_ACPI to acpi0
2. probe mydriver under hostb0

I think you want to probably patch hostb0 to let bus_set_resource() work and
then use that. You could also just explicitly by-pass hostb0 and allocate a
resource from its parent as a quick hack. The PCI bus should pass the requst
up to acpi0. That is, do:
BUS_ALLOC_RESOURCE(device_get_parent(device_get_parent(dev)), dev, ...);
instead of
bus_alloc_resource(dev, ...);

Since my driver is a child of hostb0, I have no idea of how to access
acpi0's memory area. Here is a devinfo -r to make things clear:
...
Earlier, I was given the hint to attach as a child of acpi (see the
old mail attached below) but in this case I didn't have access to the
hostb registers which I need as well.
The only thing I see is: Attach two drivers -- one as child of acpi
and another as child of hostb and let them communicate somehow (no
idea how to do this).
I have also done crazy things like searching for acpi0 and trying
to bus_alloc_resource() the memory I am interested in but this also
failed.
Or is it possible to free(!) somehow the address space from acpi0
and pass it to hostb0 so I can bus_alloc_resource() it?
You can probably make two drivers in one which cooperate to
allow access to both sets of resources.
Hmm, that's what I meant by: Attach two drivers -- one as child of acpi
and another as child of hostb...
And that's similar to Rui Paulo's suggestion a while ago:
You'll probably need to create a fake ACPI child driver to access it.
Create your identify routine with something like:
static void mydriver_identify(driver_t *driver, device_t parent)
{
if (device_find_child(parent, "mydriver", -1) == NULL &&
mydriver_match(parent))
device_add_child(parent, "mydriver", -1);
}
mydriver_match() should check if you were given the acpi0 device.
But in order to attach to acpi0, I need to say
DRIVER_MODULE( eccmon, acpi, eccmon_driver, eccmon_devclass, NULL, NULL );
instead of
DRIVER_MODULE( eccmon, hostb, eccmon_driver, eccmon_devclass, NULL, NULL );
try both with different devclass and other args.
This way I could attach to acpi but not to hostb anymore
I have searched the net for solutions, I have read newbus-draft.txt
and newbus-intro.txt and Warner Losh's newbus-led.c (thanks to all
of these my driver is working on other mainboards where it doesn't
have to access foreign memory) but didn't find anything.

I assume it is possible somehow, I am just too stupid (it is the first
driver I wrote). John, for easy reference, here is my initial message:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2009-July/029127.html
Please remember all, that I need the access to the acpi0 memory location
only for a few reads during probing/attaching, not later.
I have also read somewhere that, when resources are allocated, the
system "walks up" the device tree until it finds the resource. Since
my driver is below hostb0 and hostb0 is below acpi0 I thought it
should work but it doesn't..
Thanks again,

And that's similar to Rui Paulo's suggestion a while ago:
You'll probably need to create a fake ACPI child driver to access it.
Create your identify routine with something like:
static void mydriver_identify(driver_t *driver, device_t parent)
{
if (device_find_child(parent, "mydriver", -1) == NULL &&
mydriver_match(parent))
device_add_child(parent, "mydriver", -1);
}
mydriver_match() should check if you were given the acpi0 device.
But in order to attach to acpi0, I need to say
DRIVER_MODULE( eccmon, acpi, eccmon_driver, eccmon_devclass, NULL,
NULL );
instead of
DRIVER_MODULE( eccmon, hostb, eccmon_driver, eccmon_devclass, NULL,
NULL );
This way I could attach to acpi but not to hostb anymore
I have searched the net for solutions, I have read newbus-draft.txt
and newbus-intro.txt and Warner Losh's newbus-led.c (thanks to all
of these my driver is working on other mainboards where it doesn't
have to access foreign memory) but didn't find anything.
I'm out of ideas.
John, do you know if this is a newbus limitation or if it can be
worked around ?

Hmm, that's what I meant by: Attach two drivers -- one as child of acpi
and another as child of hostb...

Reading acpi memory from a driver attached to hostb
[CC'ing this to Rui Paulo since he tried to help me a while ago]
I have written a driver that is a child of hostb (similar to agp) for
RELENG_7. However, on some chipsets (e.g. i975) it has to read some
memory locations (not pci configuration space) which were registered
by acpi as system resources.
Since my driver is a child of hostb0, I have no idea of how to access
this memory area. Here is a devinfo -r to make things clear:
nexus0
acpi0
Interrupt request lines:
9
I/O ports:
0x10-0x1f
0x22-0x3f
...
0x800-0x87f
I/O memory addresses:
0xc-0xd
0xe-0xf
0xf000-0xf3ff
0xfec0-0xfec00fff
0xfed13000-0xfed19fff <--- the memory needed
0xfed1c000-0xfed1
0xfed2-0xfed3
0xfff0-0x
cpu0
coretemp0
acpi_throttle0
ACPI I/O ports:
0x810-0x813
cpufreq0
cpu1
coretemp1
pcib0
pci0
I/O ports:
0x170-0x177
0x376
hostb0
I/O memory addresses:
0xe400-0xe7ff
MYDRIVER0 <--- my driver
agp0
pcib1
pci7
vgapci0
Interrupt request lines:

I had the same problem under RELENG_6 six month ago which could be
solved by a bus_set_resource() but since the driver now attaches to
hostb, this is not possible anymore.
Earlier, I was given the hint to attach as a child of acpi (see the
old mail attached below) but in this case I didn't have access to the
hostb registers which I need as well.
The only thing I see is: Attach two drivers -- one as child of acpi
and another as child of hostb and let them communicate somehow (no
idea how to do this).
I have also done crazy things like searching for acpi0 and trying
to bus_alloc_resource() the memory I am interested in but this also
failed.
Or is it possible to free(!) somehow the address space from acpi0
and pass it to hostb0 so I can bus_alloc_resource() it?
Thanks a lot for all ideas,
-Andre

You probably just need to do something like:
rid = PCI_BAR(number);
res = bus_alloc_resource_any(dev, SYS_RES_MEMORY, &rid, RF_ACTIVE);
And then,
bus_read_4(res, offset from specified PCI BAR);

You'll probably need to create a fake ACPI child driver to access it.
Create your identify routine with something like:
static void mydriver_identify(driver_t *driver, device_t parent)
{
if (device_find_child(parent, "mydriver", -1) == NULL &&
mydriver_match(parent))
device_add_child(parent, "mydriver", -1);
}
mydriver_match() should check if you were given the acpi0 device.
