NAME
     wdc — machine-independent IDE/ATAPI driver

SYNOPSIS
     #include <dev/ata/atavar.h>
     #include <sys/dev/ic/wdcvar.h>

     int
     wdcprobe(struct channel_softc * chp);

     void
     wdcattach(struct channel_softc * chp);

DESCRIPTION
     The wdc driver provides the machine independent core functions for driv‐
     ing IDE devices.  IDE devices-specific drivers (wd(4) or atapibus(4))
     will use services provided by wdc.

     The machine-dependent bus front-end provides informations to wdc with the
     wdc_softc and channel_softc structures.  The first one defines global
     controller properties, and the second contains per-channel informations.
     wdc returns informations about the attached devices in the
     ata_drive_datas structure.

     The bus front-end needs to fill in the following elements of wdc_softc:
	 cap	     supports one or more of the WDC_CAPABILITY flags
	 nchannels   number of channels supported by this controller
	 channels    array of struct channel_softc of size nchannels properly
		     initialised
     The following elements are optional:
	 pio_mode
	 dma_mode
	 dma_arg
	 dma_init
	 dma_start
	 dma_finish
	 claim_hw
	 free_hw

     The WDC_CAPABILITY_DATA16 and WDC_CAPABILITY_DATA32 flags informs wdc
     whether the controller supports 16- or 32-bit I/O accesses on the data
     port.  If both are set, a test will be done for each drive using the ATA
     or ATAPI IDENTIFY command, to automatically select the working mode.

     The WDC_CAPABILITY_DMA and WDC_CAPABILITY_UDMA flags are set for con‐
     trollers supporting the DMA and Ultra-DMA modes.  The bus front-end needs
     to provide the dma_init(), dma_start() and dma_finish() functions.
     dma_init() is called just before issuing a DMA command to the IDE device.
     The arguments are, respectively: dma_arg, the channel number, the drive
     number on this channel, the virtual address of the DMA buffer, the size
     of the transfer, and the WDC_DMA flags.  dma_start() is called just after
     issuing a DMA command to the IDE device.  The arguments are, respec‐
     tively: dma_arg, the channel number, the drive number on this channel,
     and the WDC_DMA flags.  dma_finish() is called once the transfer is com‐
     plete.  The arguments are, respectively: dma_arg, the channel number, the
     drive number on this channel, and the WDC_DMA flags.  WDC_DMA_READ indi‐
     cates the direction of the data transfer, and WDC_DMA_POLL indicates if
     the transfer will use (or used) interrupts.

     The WDC_CAPABILITY_MODE flag means that the bus front-end can program the
     PIO and DMA modes, so wdc needs to provide back the supported modes for
     each drive, and set the drives modes.  The pio_mode and dma_mode needs to
     be set to the highest PIO and DMA mode supported.	If WDC_CAPABILITY_UDMA
     is set, then dma_mode must be set to the highest Ultra-DMA mode sup‐
     ported.  If WDC_CAPABILITY_MODE is not set, wdc will not attempt to
     change the current drive's settings, assuming the host's firmware has
     done it right.

     The WDC_CAPABILITY_HWLOCK flag is set for controllers needing hardware
     looking before accessing the I/O ports.  If this flag is set, the bus
     front-end needs to provide the claim_hw() and free_hw() functions.
     claim_hw() will be called when the driver wants to access the controller
     ports.  The second parameter is set to 1 when it is possible to sleep
     waiting for the lock, 0 otherwise.	 It should return 1 when access has
     been granted, 0 otherwise.	 When access has not been granted and sleep is
     not allowed, the bus front-end shall call wdcrestart() with the first
     argument passed to claim_hw() as argument.	 This arguments will also be
     the one passed to free_hw().  This function is called once the transfer
     is complete, so that the lock can be released.

     Accesses to the data port are done by using the bus_space stream func‐
     tions, unless the WDC_CAPABILITY_ATA_NOSTREAM or
     WDC_CAPABILITY_ATAPI_NOSTREAM flags are set.  This should not be used,
     unless the data bus is not wired properly (which seems common on big-
     endian systems), and byte-order needs to be preserved for compatibility
     with the host's firmware.	Also note that the IDE bus is a little-endian
     bus, so the bus_space functions used for the bus_space tag passed in the
     channel_softc have to do the appropriate byte-swapping for big-endian
     systems.

     WDC_CAPABILITY_NO_EXTRA_RESETS avoid the controller reset at the end of
     the disks probe.  This reset is needed for some controllers, but causes
     problems with some others.

     WDC_CAPABILITY_NOIRQ tells the driver that this controller doesn't have
     its interrupt lines wired up usefully, so it should always use polled
     transfers.

     The bus front-end needs to fill in the following elements of
     channel_softc:
	 channel     The channel number on the controller
	 wdc	     A pointer to the controller's wdc_softc
	 cmd_iot, cmd_ioh
		     Bus-space tag and handle for access to the command block
		     registers (which includes the 16-bit data port)
	 ctl_iot, ctl_ioh
		     Bus-space tag and handle for access to the control block
		     registers
	 ch_queue    A pointer to a struct channel_queue.  This will hold the
		     queues of outstanding commands for this controller.
     The following elements are optional:
	 data32iot, data32ioh
		     Bus-space tag and handle for 32-bit data accesses.	 Only
		     needed if WDC_CAPABILITY_DATA32 is set in the con‐
		     troller's wdc_softc.

     ch_queue can point to a common struct channel_queue if the controller
     doesn't support concurrent access to its different channels.  If all
     channels are independent, it is recommended that each channel has its own
     ch_queue (for better performance).

     The bus-specific front-end can use the wdcprobe() function, with a prop‐
     erly initialised struct channel_softc as argument ( wdc can be set to
     NULL.  This allows wdcprobe() to be easily used in bus front-end probe
     functions).  This function will return an integer where bit 0 will be set
     if the master device has been found, and 1 if the slave device has been
     found.

     The bus-specific attach function has to call wdcattach() for each chan‐
     nel, with a pointer to a properly initialised channel softc as argument.
     This will probe devices attached to the IDE channel and attach them.
     Once this function returns, the ch_drive array of the channel_softc will
     contain the drive's capabilities.	This can be used to properly ini‐
     tialise the controller's mode, or disable a channel without drives.

     The elements of interest in ata_drive_datas for a bus front-end are:
	 drive	     The drive number
	 drive_flags
		     Flags indicating the drive capabilities.  A null
		     drive_flags indicate either that no drive is here, or
		     that no driver was found for this device.
	 PIO_mode, DMA_mode, UDMA_mode
		     the highest supported modes for this drive compatible
		     with the controller's capabilities.  Needs to be reset to
		     the mode to use by the drive, if known.
	 drv_softc   A pointer to the drive's softc.  Can be used to print the
		     drive's name.

     drive_flags handles the following flags:
	 DRIVE_ATA, DRIVE_ATAPI
		     Gives the drive type, if any.  The shortcut DRIVE can be
		     used to just test the presence/absence of a drive.
	 DRIVE_CAP32
		     This drive works with 32-bit data I/O.
	 DRIVE_DMA   This drive supports DMA.
	 DRIVE_UDMA  This drive supports Ultra-DMA.
	 DRIVE_MODE  This drive properly reported its PIO and DMA mode.

     Once the controller has been initialised, it has to reset the DRIVE_DMA
     and DRIVE_UDMA, as well as the values of PIO_mode, DMA_mode and UDMA_mode
     if the modes to be used are not highest ones supported by the drive.

CODE REFERENCES
     The wdc core functions are implemented in sys/dev/ic/wdc.c.  Low-level
     ATA and ATAPI support is provided by sys/dev/ata_wdc.c and
     sys/dev/scsipi/atapi_wdc.c respectively.

     An example of a simple bus front-end can be found in
     sys/dev/isapnp/wdc_isapnp.c.  A more complex one, with multiple channels
     and bus-master DMA support is sys/dev/pci/pciide.c.
     sys/arch/atari/dev/wdc_mb.c makes use of hardware locking, and also pro‐
     vides an example of bus-front end for a big-endian system, which needs
     byte-swapping bus_space functions.
