=== lv1_allocate_memory ===

Create a memory region in the Hypervisor Virtual Address Space (vas)

===== Kernel Call =====

 result = lv1_allocate_memory( /*IN*/ size, page_size_exp, 0, flags, /*OUT*/ &addr, &muid );

===== Parameters =====

|R3
|Status - 0 = OK, LV1_RESOURCE_SHORTAGE (-2), LV1_NO_ENTRY (-6), LV1_DUPLICATE_ENTRY (-7)
|-
|R4
|addr - LPAR Address of region
|-
|R5
|muid - Unknown, unused by Kernel
|}

Notes:

page_size_exp takes values of 12 (page_size = 4K) to 21 (page_size = 2M) before LV1_RESOURCE_SHORTAGE (-2) is returned under a fully booted Linux OS. Higher values (24, page_size = 16M) can be found in the actual kernel source and can presumably be made before the OS has fully booted. page_size_exp values below 12 cause a return status of LV1_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER_VALUE (-17).

Input R5 was speculated to be the initialization value for the allocated region, but appears not to be the case. Values other than 0 or 1 appear to return a status of LV1_NO_ENTRY (-6), though a valid value of page_size_exp appears to be checked first (-17 is returned for invalid values of page_size_exp, regardless of the value of R5).

Allocations with flags = 0×00, 0×01, 0×02, 0×03 and 0×04 were successful though the effects of the flags could not be tested at this point. Allocations with flags >= 0×400 return LV1_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER_VALUE.

Initial tests allocating memory with flags = 0×08 (ADDR_0, presumably request physical address rather than logical partition address) result in a status of LV1_DUPLICATE_ENTRY (-7). This and the previous return value of -6 suggest an association with a database of some kind (repository values or memory maps?). It appears that some form of allocation may be taking place as LV1_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER_VALUE and LV1_RESOURCE_SHORTAGE are reported for invalid input parameters, rather than LV1_DUPLICATE_ENTRY.

For all successful allocations so far, output muid (R5) = 1

=== lv1_write_htab_entry ===

Write an entry to the hash page table.

===== Kernel Call =====

 result = lv1_write_htab_entry( /*IN*/ vas_id, slot, va, pa );

----
=== lv1_construct_virtual_address_space ===

Construct a PPE virtual address space.

===== Kernel Call =====

 result = lv1_construct_virtual_address_space( /*IN*/ htab_size, number_of_sizes, page_sizes, /*OUT*/ &vas_id, &act_htab_size );

===== Parameters =====
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! colspan="2" | Inputs
|-
!Register
!Description
|-
|R3
|htab_size - must be 18, 19 or 20 (256KB, 512KB or 1MB)

|Status - 0 = OK, Other values are unknown, but indicate failure.
|-
|R4
|vas_id - virtual address space id
|-
|R5
|act_htab_size - actual hash table size?
|}

Notes:

Page sizes are specified as the power of two for the desired sizes. Each power of two is stored as an 8 bit field in page_sizes, starting from the MSB.

The “pages_sizes” parameter is set in “mm.c” using the following function:
 page_sizes = make_page_sizes(PAGE_SHIFT_16M, PAGE_SHIFT_64K);
 
 static unsigned long make_page_sizes(unsigned long a, unsigned long b)
 {

This suggests lpar 0 is a special lpar representing the first 128MB of RAM that are always available at boot time. In this case, max_page_size seems to correspond to the order of the allocation (2**27 = 128 MB). The meaning of access_right and flags is unknown.

Also works on a lpar obtained from [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_allocate_memory|lv1_allocate_memory]], for example

 lv1_allocate_memory(4096 /* size */, 12 /* page size */, 0, 0, &lpar, &muid);
 lv1_query_logical_partition_address_region_info(lpar, &start_address, &size, &access_right, &max_page_size, &flags);
returns:

Notes:

In “mm.c” When destructing a virtual address space, a call to select address space 0 (default?) is performed first.

Calling lv1_select_virtual_address_space(0) from a kernel module init function causes the PS3 to hang.

Notes:

Comment from interrupt.c:

 /**
 * The HV mantains per SMT thread mappings of HV outlet to HV plug on
 * behalf of the guest.  These mappings are implemented as 256 bit guest
 * supplied bitmaps indexed by plug number.  The addresses of the bitmaps
 * are registered with the HV through lv1_configure_irq_state_bitmap().
 * The HV requires that the 512 bits of status + mask not cross a page
 * boundary.  PS3_BMP_MINALIGN is used to define this minimal 64 byte
 * alignment.
 *
 * The HV supports 256 plugs per thread, assigned as {0..255}, for a total
 * of 512 plugs supported on a processor.  To simplify the logic this
 * implementation equates HV plug value to Linux virq value, constrains each
 * interrupt to have a system wide unique plug number, and limits the range
 * of the plug values to map into the first dword of the bitmaps.  This
 * gives a usable range of plug values of  {NUM_ISA_INTERRUPTS..63}.  Note
 * that there is no constraint on how many in this set an individual thread
 * can acquire.

Notes:

This call is not used within the current Kernel, so the parameter list is based on speculation.
It will still return 0 if the specified node already exists, and it will not change current data.

See “lv1_get_repository_node_value” for an example of actual key/value usage within the Kernel.
----

=== lv1_get_repository_node_value ===

The repository appears to be an area of storage for use by the Hypervisor. 256-bit keys are used to reference 128-bit values stored in the repository. Functions exist to create, get, modify and remove repository nodes.

See notes below for usage speculation.

===== Kernel Call =====

 status = lv1_get_repository_node_value(/*IN*/ lpar_id, n1, n2, n3, n4 /*OUT*/ &v1, &v2 );

===== Parameters =====
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! colspan="2" | Inputs
|-

!Description
|-
|R3
|logical partion id
|-
|R4
|top level key
|-

|-
|R3
|Status: 0 = OK, -6 = LV1_NO_ENTRY
|-
|R4
|value 1
|-
|R5
|value 2
|-
|}

Notes:

The logical partition id is also required as an input parameter to get a repository node value, but this parameter does not appear to be passed when creating, modifying or removing nodes.

There are instances in the Kernel code where the keys are constructed from string values, which appear to follow a 4-level key/subkey hierarchy.

=== lv1_set_vmx_graphics_mode ===

|result: 0 = LV1_SUCCESS, -17 = LV1_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER_VALUE
|-
|}

Notes:

This is a call to set the single precision rounding mode of the VMX units in the Cell PPUs. The AltiVec/VMX SIMD/Vector processing unit has 2 rounding modes for dealing with Single-precision floating-point. IEEE 754-1985 and SPE-compatible SIMD graphics-rounding mode.

The Cell Broadband Engine Programming Handbook has this to say on the subject: The first implementation of the Cell Broadband Engine Architecture (CBEA) (the CBE processor) supports instructions with a graphics rounding mode. This mode allows programs written with vector/SIMD multimedia extension instructions to produce floating-point results that are equivalent in precision to those written in the SPU instruction set. In this mode, as in the SPU environment, the default rounding mode is round to zero, denormals are treated as zero, and there are no infinities or NaNs.

This call change bit 12 (known as grap_md or grap_mode in various documents) in the HID1 register. Hardware Implementation Register 1 is a HV privileged resource, hence to change the mode from Supervisor mode requires a HV call.

----

=== lv1_undocumented_function_168 ===

=== lv1_open_device ===

Open the device for a given bus and device id.

===== Kernel Call =====

!Description

! colspan="2" | Outputs
|-
!Register
!Description
|-
|R3
|Status: LV1_SUCCESS (0) - OK
LV1_NO_ENTRY (-6) - invalid dev_id 
LV1_BUSY (-9) - device already open 
LV1_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER_VALUE (-17) - invalid bus_id
|-
|}

Notes:

Valid values for bus_id and dev_id can be obtained from the repository (see [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_get_repository_node_value|lv1_get_repository_node_value]]).

Once open, functions such as [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_map_device_mmio_region|lv1_map_device_mmio_region]] and [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_allocate_device_dma_region|lv1_allocate_device_dma_region]] can be used to map the device into memory.

The value of R5 does not seem to affect the outcome of the call (powers of 2 in the 64 bit range were tested). One reason for the flag could be to indicate whether to open the device in shared mode or not (and thus prevent the LV1_BUSY return code).
----
=== lv1_close_device ===

!Register
!Description
|-
|R3
|Status - 0 = OK, Other values are unknown, but indicate failure.
|-
|R4
|dma_region - dma region address
|-
|}

Notes: When the device is little endian, the mode must be set to 8 bit for 8 bit DMA to work as expected, otherwise the bytes will be read/written in the wrong order. OTOH, this mode requires that 16 and 32-bit values are byte-swapped by the CPU since they will appear as little endian in memory.

Info taken from kboot-10\dl\linux-2.6.16\sound\powerpc\snd_ps3pf.c (kboot-20061208) where the audio front-end registers are mapped into memory. Two calls to lv1_gpu_device_map are performed, the first when dev_id = 1, to obtain the audio interrupt (Audio IRQ Outlet) and a second time when dev_id = 2 to obtain a mapping of the register block (Audio Registers).

lpar_addr is a virtual address, created by the Hypervisor. Multiple calls to lv1_gpu_device_map with the same dev_id return successfully, but the lpar_address returned for each is different (if there have been no intermediary lv1_gpu_device_unmap calls). These various virtual lpar_addr values all alias the same physical location in memory.

It is interesting that when dev_id = 4, LV1_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER_VALUE is returned with lpar_addr and lpar_size set to the values returned from the previous call - for the first call when dev_id = 0, values also appear to be set (though these could be garbage values)

===== Devices 1 & 2 =====
dev_id 1 gives a location used to process IRQ’s from the audio and dev_id 2 gives the base address of the Audio Hardware registers. From published Sony documents (http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/game/docs/20060329/3dps303.htm), Audio is believed to be on the RSX, this call seems to confirm that. Access to the audio after this mapping call (it would appear) bypasses the Hypervisor and occurs directly on the RSX hardware. 3,5,6,7,8 are currently unknown. Presumably 0 and 4 are otherwise valid parameters blocked by the Hypervisor for OtherOS (ie, they may function for Games) otherwise I would have expected a return result of -20 for them. So rather than just being a bridge for audio into HDMI, it is for all audio.

Also interesting is that the GPU version number returned by [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_gpu_context_allocate|lv1_gpu_context_allocate]] appears at address 0×10 in the device 1 dump, though this of course may be complete coincidence.

===== Device 7 =====
dev_id 7 appears to be a video device. It is not possible to map the entire reported memory space (0×10000), only areas 0×0000 to 0x0fff and 0×2000 to 0x2fff (discovered via laborious trial and error testing, mapping other areas causes the PS3 to hang without warning). In both mappable areas, the current screen resolution can be seen at locations 0×200 and 0×210. Changes to the ps3 video mode (e.g. using the ps3videomode utility) can be observed in the mapped areas, but modifying the values directly does not affect the screen resolution. Although both areas contain different values, there appear to be parts in common, as changing the values at 0×200 and 0×210 directly in one area also causes the same values in the other area to change.

Given the screen resolution connection, it could be possible that this device is a mapping of the GPU display heads:

*Out of 16Kb, only two areas are mappable (= number of accessible display heads)
*Mappable areas are 2Kb apart → 8 total display heads (= size of display heads array returned by [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_gpu_context_allocate|lv1_gpu_context_allocate]])

===== Device 8 =====

dev_id 8 appears to be a mapping of video RAM at offset 0x0ff10000. This region of video memory is referenced by RSX DMA objects but its purpose is unknown.

|-
|}

Notes:

ddr_size accepts values (0..252) * 2^20 - values not divisible by 2^20 (1 MB) and above the range result in a return value of -17 (LV1_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER_VALUE). [Verified by Strontium Dog on an AU PS3 V1.5 firmware]

Bits 52-63 of ddr_size seem to be ignored or correspond to flags. The lower bits correspond to the amount of allocated video RAM. A call to [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_gpu_context_allocate|lv1_gpu_context_allocate]] using the returned memory_handle will create a RSX DMA object handle 0xfeed0000 corresponding to the region of allocated memory. Multiple calls to [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_gpu_memory_allocate|lv1_gpu_memory_allocate]] with non-zero ddr_size will change the start of this region. The DMA object limit is set to ddr_size - 1. Before FW 2.1, a ddr_size of 0 was accepted, in which case a DMA object starting at zero and of limit 0xffffffff was created. Note that in this case, the start of this region is always zero even if previous calls to [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_gpu_memory_allocate|lv1_gpu_memory_allocate]] with non-zero ddr_size were performed. As of FW 2.1 and above, a zero ddr_size is not accepted anymore.

Parameters r4-r7 are unknown. Maximum values for these parameters are respectively 512kB, 3075kB, 15 and 8. They refer to shared scarce resources, as allocations are retained across multiple calls to [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_gpu_memory_allocate|lv1_gpu_memory_allocate]]. When attached to a context during [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_gpu_context_allocate|lv1_gpu_context_allocate]], the values of these parameters are reported in the lpar_driver_info structure of the context.

Cell separates multiple OS into Logical Partitions (lpar) described at http://research.scea.com/research/html/CellGDC05/13.html. PS3 GPU memory is referred to as DDR (or GDDR) whereas system memory is XDR. 256 MB of each are installed in PS3 though only XDR is currently available for use by OtherOS.

To make use of the allocated DDR ddr_lpar needs to be transformed into a usable address using:
 ddr_address = ioremap_flags(ddr_lpar, ddr_size, _PAGE_NO_CACHE);
Be aware that the memory that holds the physical GPU frame buffer is not allocated by the Kernel, just used. So on the first call to this, some or all of the memory you request (depending on now much you request) may be actually used as the frame buffer. You will know this, because your writes to memory will mysteriously disappear up to 20ms after you perform them. Note that direct access to video ram is very slow (~10MB/s).

This function creates a mapping in GPU address space so that the RSX can access system RAM. The Kernel uses it to associate the virtual framebuffer residing in system RAM to the GPU, so that so that transfers can be initiated by the RSX from the system RAM to the video RAM using the [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_gpu_context_attribute|lv1_gpu_context_attribute]]:fb_blit() call.

Comments:

It was previously suspected that GPU_IOIF was the address of GPU MMIO registers. However GPU_IOIF is a GPU address, not a lpar address, and therefore has no meaning on the Linux side, and cannot be directly mapped from the Linux address space. Reserving the memory block (using request_mem_region) and mapping (using ioremap) results in a block of memory that is used by Linux (nothing resembling IO registers was observed whilst single frame stepping a gfx demo). [was: As you’ve previously discovered that the top of RAM is 0x0e00 0000, GPU_IOIF here is 16Mb below that. That’s typically the size of the a graphics card PCI IO region on a PC, so given the name, I’d strongly suggest it’s not GPU memory that’s being mapped but the GPU IO registers. Although why this address range would overlap with RAM is a mystery.]

GPU_IOIF was successfully set to other values (0×00000000, 0×02000000, 0×04000000) with Linux booting and displaying correctly. A value of 0x0f000000 causes the PS3 to hang (need to retest 0x0e0000000)

Although it looks like GPU_IOIF would overlap video RAM, the RSX differentiates between the two by associating different DMA objects to the source and destination of the blit. The source is associated with DMA object handle 0xfeed0001 which targets system memory, while the destination is associated with DMA object handle 0xfeed0000 which targets video memory. This has been observed by analysing the FIFO commands sent to the GPU by the hypervisor during the [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_gpu_context_attribute|lv1_gpu_context_attribute]]:fb_setup() and [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_gpu_context_attribute|lv1_gpu_context_attribute]]:fb_blit() calls.

It seems a call to [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_gpu_context_iomap|lv1_gpu_context_iomap]](handle, bus_addr, xdr_lpar, size, flags) is equivalent to a series of call to [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_put_iopte|lv1_put_iopte]]:

 int i;
 int context_number; /* derived from handle, 1st allocated context 0, 2nd allocated context 1, etc... */
 
 for (i = 0; i < size; i += 1024 * 1024) {
 	lv1_put_iopte(0,             /* IO ASID */
 		      ((0x08ULL + context_number) << 28) | bus_addr) + i, /* IO address */ 
 		      xdr_lpar + i, /* Logical Partition address */
 	              1,            /* PS3_AUDIO_IOID, actually RSX IOID */
 		      flags);
 }
Tested by replacing the call to [[HV_Syscall_Reference#lv1_gpu_context_iomap|lv1_gpu_context_iomap]] with the code above in ps3fb.c.

L1GPU_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_FIFO_SETUP is undocumented and has been discovered by probing.

===== Notes =====

Probing this call by passing in an unknown operation_code and parameters of 0, seems to return a status of LV1_SUCCESS (0) whereas if the operation is not a valid id, the call returns LV1_NO_ENTRY (-6)

====== Crash Note 1 (CN1) ======
Symptoms of Crash:
 No Video.
 Keyboard/Mouse unresponsive.
 Green Power Light lit steady.
 Requires hard power off to clear (holding power button on front unresponsive).

====== Crash Note 2 (CN2) ======
Symptoms of Crash:
 No Video.
 Keyboard/Mouse unresponsive.
 Three quick beeps from internal PS3 beeper.
 Power Light lit blinks red.
 Pressing power Led makes it steady red, pressing again reboots.

====== Crash Note 3 (CN3) ======
Symptoms of Crash:
 Video remains on display (from time preceding call).
 All video updates cease.  
 Linux Kernel reports repeatedly: "lv1_gpu_context_attribute FB_BLIT failed: status -32768"
 Rebooted PS3 to clear using front power button, this did not fix condition.  Hard power reset required to clear.

==== lv1_gpu_context_attribute:display_mode_set ====

Sets up the display mode? In the 3.15 firmware, this function doesn’t actually do anything.
It takes 3 32bit parameters but then doesn’t do anything with them. Always returns 0.

Part of patch to move FIFO from start of video memory to end:
 status = lv1_gpu_context_attribute(ps3fb.context_handle,
  					   L1GPU_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_FB_SETUP,
 -					   xdr_lpar, ps3fb_videomemory.size,
 -					   GPU_IOIF, 0);
 +					   xdr_lpar + ps3fb.xdr_size,
 +					   GPU_CMD_BUF_SIZE,
 +					   GPU_IOIF + ps3fb.xdr_size, 0);

The memory map used to look like:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
!Address
!Description
|-
|xdr_lpar
|FIFO region
|-
|xdr_lpar + ???
|not used
|-
|xdr_lpar + ps3fb_videomemory.size - 2 * frame size
|frame 2
|-
|xdr_lpar + ps3fb_videomemory.size - frame size
|frame 1
|-
|xdr_lpar + ps3fb_videomemory.size
|END
|-
|}

The memory map of ps3fb now looks like this:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
!Address
!Description
|-
|xdr_lpar
|frame 1
|-
|xdr_lpar + FB_OFF(1)
|frame 2
|-
|xdr_lpar + FB_OFF(2)
|not used
|-
|xdr_lpar + ps3fb_videomemory.size - GPU_CMD_BUF_SIZE
|FIFO region
|-
|xdr_lpar + ps3fb_videomemory.size
|END
|-
|}

The FIFO section of the memory range is now not mapped into Linux’s address space.

So, from that change we can see that R5 and R7 are moved by the size of the xdr_size (videomemory_size-GPU_CMD_BUF_SIZE) so both refer to the FIFO buffer in different addressing schemes (probably physical memory address and LPAR address)

|}

Notes:

This hypervisor call causes the PS3 to shutdown immediately, without performing any cleanup or callbacks. Remember to sync filesystems before calling this function!

It seems that any non-zero value in R3 causes a reboot after panic, rather than just 1.

The code in the kernel does all manner of things to actually reboot, including sending vuart messages to some other process running in a different LPAR. I haven’t investigated enough to see exactly what it does, but calling lv1_panic(0) from my my code in the hypervisor causes a panic with the red light flashing until the power button is pressed whereas the kernel’s shutdown code doesn’t.
