| 9 | OS2AHCI is an AHCI driver for eComStation. It supports both ATA and
|
|---|
| 10 | ATAPI devices in a single driver, thus there's no need for an
|
|---|
| 11 | ATAPI/CDROM filter driver.

| 58 | Building The Driver
|
|---|
| 59 | -------------------
|
|---|
| 60 |
|
|---|
| 61 | The toolchain required for compilation consists of:
|
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 | - IBM OS/2 DDK version 9.23 or later (see ddk\base\h\version.mak)
|
|---|
| 64 | and that has been updated for SMP systems. (Used for include files)
|
|---|
| 65 | - Open Watcom C/C++ package
|
|---|
| 66 | (available from: http://www.openwatcom.org/index.php/Downloads)
|
|---|
| 67 | - WCC 16-bit C Compiler (part of the Open Watcom package)
|
|---|
| 68 | - WASM Assembler (part of the Open Watcom package)
|
|---|
| 69 | - WLINK Linker (part of the Open Watcom package)
|
|---|
| 70 | - MAPSYM (part of the DDK)
|
|---|
| 71 |
|
|---|
| 72 | Simply use "wmake" or "wmake -a" to build the driver.
|
|---|
| 73 |
|
|---|
| 74 | The driver can also be built using the DDK tools, but this build
|
|---|
| 75 | is depreciated and is not kept up-to-date.
|
|---|
| 76 |
|
|---|
| 77 | The toolchain required for compilation consists of:
|
|---|
| 78 |
|
|---|
| 79 | - IBM OS/2 DDK version 9.23 or later (see ddk\base\h\version.mak)
|
|---|
| 80 | - Microsoft C600
|
|---|
| 81 | - ALP Assembler (part of DDK)
|
|---|
| 82 | - link.exe (part of DDK)
|
|---|
| 83 | - MAPSYM (part of the DDK)
|
|---|
| 84 |
|
|---|
| 85 | Use "nmake -f Makefile.old" or "nmake -f Makefile.old -a" to build
|
|---|
| 86 | the driver.
|
|---|
| 87 |
|
|---|
| 88 | When switching between building with the DDK and Open Watcom, it is
|
|---|
| 89 | recommended to do a clean first (wmake clean or nmake -f Makefile.old clean).

|
|---|
| 92 | Installation
|
|---|
| 93 | ============
|
|---|
| 94 |
|
|---|
| 95 | - Run the included update.cmd,
|
|---|
| 96 | or copy the driver file, OS2AHCI.ADD, to \OS2\BOOT on your boot disk.
|
|---|
| 97 |
|
|---|
| 98 | - Add the following line to CONFIG.SYS:
|
|---|
| 99 | BASEDEV=OS2AHCI.ADD
|
|---|
| 100 |
|
|---|
| 101 |
|
|---|
| 102 | Driver Command Line Options
|
|---|
| 103 | ===========================
|
|---|
| 104 |
|
|---|
| 105 | Global Options
|
|---|
| 106 |
|
|---|
| 107 | Option Description
|
|---|
| 108 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 109 | /b:<baud> Initialize the COM port to the specified baud rate. Allowable
|
|---|
| 110 | baud values are: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,
|
|---|
| 111 | 38400, 57600, and 115200. /b has no effect if /c is not also
|
|---|
| 112 | specified. If /b is not specified, the COM port is not
|
|---|
| 113 | initialized. For example, if you are using the kernel debugger,
|
|---|
| 114 | the kernel debugger initializes the COM port so you should not
|
|---|
| 115 | use this switch.
|
|---|
| 116 |
|
|---|
| 117 | /c:<n> Set debug COM port base address. Values for n can be:
|
|---|
| 118 | 1 = COM1
|
|---|
| 119 | 2 = COM2
|
|---|
| 120 | a hex value (COM port base address) COM1=3f8, COM2=2f8
|
|---|
| 121 | The default is 0. If set to 0 then no output goes to the COM port.
|
|---|
| 122 |
|
|---|
| 123 | /d[:n] Debug output to COM port/trace buffer. Values for n can be:
|
|---|
| 124 | 1 = requests
|
|---|
| 125 | 2 = detailed
|
|---|
| 126 | 3 = verbose, including MMIO operations
|
|---|
| 127 | If :n is not specified the debug level is incremented for
|
|---|
| 128 | each /d specified.
|
|---|
| 129 |
|
|---|
| 130 | /w Allows the trace buffer to wrap when full.
|
|---|
| 131 |
|
|---|
| 132 | /v[:n] Display informational messages during boot. Values for n can be:
|
|---|
| 133 | 1 = Display sign on banner
|
|---|
| 134 | 2 = Display adapter information
|
|---|
| 135 | If :n is not specified the verbosity level is incremented for
|
|---|
| 136 | each /v specified.
|
|---|
| 137 |
|
|---|
| 138 | /g:<vendor>:<device> Add generic PCI ID to list of supported AHCI adapters
|
|---|
| 139 | (e.g. /g:8086:2829)
|
|---|
| 140 |
|
|---|
| 141 | /t Perform thorough PCI ID scan; default = on, can be
|
|---|
| 142 | turned off with /!t to perform only a PCI class scan
|
|---|
| 143 |
|
|---|
| 144 | /f Force the use of the HW write cache when using NCQ
|
|---|
| 145 | commands; see "Native Command Queuing" below for
|
|---|
| 146 | further explanation (default = off)
|
|---|
| 147 |
|
|---|
| 148 | /r Reset ports during initialization (default = on)
|
|---|
| 149 | Can be turned off with /!r, however, when the
|
|---|
| 150 | [Intel] AHCI controller was found to be
|
|---|
| 151 | initialized by the BIOS in SATA mode, ports will
|
|---|
| 152 | always be reset even when /!r was specified
|
|---|
| 153 |
|
|---|
| 154 | /a:n Set adapter to n for adapter-specific options
|
|---|
| 155 | (default = -1, all adapters)
|
|---|
| 156 |
|
|---|
| 157 | /p:n Set port to n for port-specific options
|
|---|
| 158 | (default = -1, all ports)
|
|---|
| 159 |
|
|---|
| 160 | Adapter-specific Options
|
|---|
| 161 |
|
|---|
| 162 | Option Description
|
|---|
| 163 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 164 | /i Ignore current adapter
|
|---|
| 165 |
|
|---|
| 166 | Port-specific Options
|
|---|
| 167 |
|
|---|
| 168 | Option Description
|
|---|
| 169 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 170 | /s Enable SCSI emulation for ATAPI units (default = off)
|
|---|
| 171 | SCSI emulation is required for tools like cdrecord.
|
|---|
| 172 |
|
|---|
| 173 | /n Enable NCQ (Native Command Queuing) for hard disks
|
|---|
| 174 | (default = off)
|
|---|
| 175 |
|
|---|
| 176 | /ls Set link speed (default = 0):
|
|---|
| 177 | 0 = maximum,
|
|---|
| 178 | 1 = limit to generation 1
|
|---|
| 179 | 2 = limit to generation 2
|
|---|
| 180 | 3 = limit to generation 3
|
|---|
| 181 |
|
|---|
| 182 | /lp Set link power management (default = 0):
|
|---|
| 183 | 0 = full power management,
|
|---|
| 184 | 1 = transitions to "partial slumber state" disabled,
|
|---|
| 185 | 2 = transitions to "slumber state" disabled,
|
|---|
| 186 | 3 = transitions to both partial and slumber states disabled
|
|---|
| 187 |
|
|---|
| 188 | /4 Force track size to be 56 sectors regardless of the
|
|---|
| 189 | reported disk geometry to optimize partition boundaries
|
|---|
| 190 | for hard disks with 4096 byte sectors.
|
|---|
| 191 |
|
|---|
| 192 | Port-specific options depend on the currently active adapter
|
|---|
| 193 | and port selector (/a and /p). Those selectors are -1 per default
|
|---|
| 194 | which means "all" adapters/ports. The scope can be reduced by limiting
|
|---|
| 195 | it to an adapter (/a) or an adapter and a port (/a and /p). The scope
|
|---|
| 196 | can be reset by setting the corresponding option back to -1.
|
|---|
| 197 |
|
|---|
| 198 | For example:
|
|---|
| 199 |
|
|---|
| 200 | BASEDEV=OS2AHCI.ADD /n /a:0 /p:5 /!n /a:1 /p:-1 /!n
|
|---|
| 201 |
|
|---|
| 202 | This has the following effect:
|
|---|
| 203 |
|
|---|
| 204 | - Enable NCQ for all hard disks
|
|---|
| 205 | - Disable NCQ for hard disk on adapter #0, port #5
|
|---|
| 206 | - Disable NCQ for all hard disks on adapter #1
|
|---|
| 207 |
|
|---|
| 208 |
|
|---|
| 209 | Native Command Queuing
|
|---|
| 210 | ======================
|
|---|
| 211 |
|
|---|
| 212 | Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is a feature which allows sending multiple I/O
|
|---|
| 213 | requests to hard disks before waiting for any of the requests to complete,
|
|---|
| 214 | much like Tagged Command Queuing for SCSI devices. This allows the disks
|
|---|
| 215 | to reorder I/O requests to minimize head movements, resulting in improved
|
|---|
| 216 | performance when executing random I/Os. In practice, this will be most
|
|---|
| 217 | noticable when multiple programs request I/O services to different parts
|
|---|
| 218 | of the disk -- a single program typically won't queue up I/O's but instead
|
|---|
| 219 | will wait for each I/O to complete (with the exception of programs like
|
|---|
| 220 | database servers).
|
|---|
| 221 |
|
|---|
| 222 | While we believe NCQ will work with the majority of controllers and hard
|
|---|
| 223 | disks, it's currently turned off by default until we have more feedback
|
|---|
| 224 | from eComStation users. In order to turn on NCQ, just add the command line
|
|---|
| 225 | option "/n" to OS2AHCI.ADD.
|
|---|
| 226 |
|
|---|
| 227 | NCQ and HW Caches
|
|---|
| 228 | -----------------
|
|---|
| 229 |
|
|---|
| 230 | In NCQ mode, OS2AHCI supports a request flag which allows upstream code
|
|---|
| 231 | (e.g. file systems) to force writes to go directly to the disk instead
|
|---|
| 232 | of being buffered in the HW disk cache. However, at least JFS doesn't
|
|---|
| 233 | support this flag properly which effectively disables the HW disk cache
|
|---|
| 234 | for write operations across the board, resulting in a substantial
|
|---|
| 235 | performance loss. In order to prevent OS2AHCI from disabling the HW
|
|---|
| 236 | cache when so requested by upstream code, please use the command line
|
|---|
| 237 | option "/f".
|
|---|
| 238 |
|
|---|
| 239 | This may, of course, result in data loss in case of power failures but
|
|---|
| 240 | apparently this was the situation with previous IDE drivers as well thus
|
|---|
| 241 | shouldn't make much difference in the field. The JFS code also seems to
|
|---|
| 242 | imply that this flag has never been widely supported by [IDE] drivers;
|
|---|
| 243 | otherwise, the JFS developers should have stumbled over the performance
|
|---|
| 244 | loss a long time ago and fixed the code.
|
|---|
| 245 |
|
|---|
| 246 | NOTES:
|
|---|
| 247 |
|
|---|
| 248 | - Without NCQ, OS2AHCI behaves like former IDE drivers, i.e. the HW
|
|---|
| 249 | cache will always be enabled (on modern disks).
|
|---|
| 250 |
|
|---|
| 251 | - When suspending, rebooting or shutting down, OS2AHCI always flushes
|
|---|
| 252 | the HW disk cache regardless of the "/f" or "/n" command line options.
|
|---|
| 253 |
|
|---|
| 254 |
|
|---|
| 255 | Interoperability With IDE Drivers
|
|---|
| 256 | =================================
|
|---|
| 257 |
|
|---|
| 258 | There are three kinds of IDE/ATA/SATA controllers:
|
|---|
| 259 |
|
|---|
| 260 | 1. Legacy controllers (IDE or SATA) without AHCI support
|
|---|
| 261 | This kind of controller will only be recognized by IDE drivers
|
|---|
| 262 | (IBM1S506.ADD or DANIS506.ADD).
|
|---|
| 263 |
|
|---|
| 264 | 2. AHCI-capable controllers which supports IDE/SATA legacy interfaces
|
|---|
| 265 | This kind of controller will work with IDE or AHCI drivers and it's
|
|---|
| 266 | up to the user to decide which driver to use.
|
|---|
| 267 |
|
|---|
| 268 | 3. AHCI-only controllers
|
|---|
| 269 | This kind of controller will only be recognized by OS2AHCI.
|
|---|
| 270 |
|
|---|
| 271 | If there's a mix of controllers of types 1 and 3, both an IDE and an AHCI
|
|---|
| 272 | driver will be required.
|
|---|
| 273 |
|
|---|
| 274 | If type 2 controllers are involved, it's up to the user to decide which
|
|---|
| 275 | driver to use. Both DANIS506.ADD and OS2AHCI.ADD will verify whether another
|
|---|
| 276 | driver has already allocated the corresponding adapter, thus the only
|
|---|
| 277 | decision to take for mixed configurations is whether type-2 controllers
|
|---|
| 278 | should be handled by DANIS506.ADD or OS2AHCI.ADD and this can be done by
|
|---|
| 279 | having the desired driver's BASEDEV statement coming first in CONFIG.SYS.
|
|---|
| 280 |
|
|---|
| 281 | NOTE: Older versions of DANIS506.ADD did not verify whether the resources
|
|---|
| 282 | of a particular adapter were already allocated by another driver.
|
|---|
| 283 | DANIS506.ADD 1.8.8 or later is required for this to work.
|
|---|
| 284 |
|
|---|
| 285 | When using earlier versions of DANI1S506.ADD, the options "/A:x /I"
|
|---|
| 286 | will be required to tell DANI1S506.ADD to ignore adapters to be
|
|---|
| 287 | driven by OS2AHCI.ADD. The same applies to IBM1S506.ADD
|
|---|
| 288 |
|
|---|
| 289 | Mixed Controller Example
|
|---|
| 290 | ------------------------
|
|---|
| 291 |
|
|---|
| 292 | Assume a DELL D630 or a Thinkpad T60. The hard disk is attached to the
|
|---|
| 293 | SATA/AHCI controller of the ICH-7 hub while the CDROM is attached to the
|
|---|
| 294 | legacy PATA IDE controller. This allows two different configurations:
|
|---|
| 295 |
|
|---|
| 296 | 1. Drive HDD and CDROM via DANIS506.ADD
|
|---|
| 297 | 2. Drive HDD via OS2AHCI.ADD and CDROM via DANI1S506.ADD
|
|---|
| 298 |
|
|---|
| 299 | OS2AHCI.ADD can't drive the CDROM because it's attached to a legacy PATA
|
|---|
| 300 | IDE controller which doesn't support AHCI.
|
|---|
| 301 |
|
|---|
| 302 | - If OS2AHCI.ADD comes first in CONFIG.SYS, it will take over the SATA/AHCI
|
|---|
| 303 | controller and drive the HDD. DANIS506.ADD will take care of the PATA/IDE
|
|---|
| 304 | controller for the CDROM.
|
|---|
| 305 | - If DANIS506.ADD comes first in CONFIG.SYS, it will take over both the
|
|---|
| 306 | SATA/AHCI and the PATA/IDE controller and OS2AHCI.ADD will silently exit.
|
|---|
| 307 |
|
|---|
| 308 | Advantages of AHCI
|
|---|
| 309 | ------------------
|
|---|
| 310 |
|
|---|
| 311 | The interfaces provided by the various [Intel] controllers could be
|
|---|
| 312 | summarized like this (the term ATA as driver interface being a bit of our
|
|---|
| 313 | own invention):
|
|---|
| 314 |
|
|---|
| 315 | - Intel PIIX: IDE (I/O registers) and ATA (taskfile)
|
|---|
| 316 | - Intel ICH6: IDE (I/O registers), ATA (taskfile) and SATA
|
|---|
| 317 | (FIS, vendor-specific)
|
|---|
| 318 | - Intel ICH7: IDE (I/O registers), ATA (taskfile), SATA
|
|---|
| 319 | (FIS, vendor-specific) and AHCI (FIS)
|
|---|
| 320 | - Intel PCH: AHCI (FIS)
|
|---|
| 321 |
|
|---|
| 322 | Taskfiles are regions in memory with ATA commands which the IDE/ATA
|
|---|
| 323 | controller can read and process autonomously. FIS (Frame Information
|
|---|
| 324 | Structures) are pretty much the same but they are specific to the SATA
|
|---|
| 325 | communication protocol on the serial link. The most important FIS type
|
|---|
| 326 | for AHCI drivers is the H2D (host to device) FIS which basically contains
|
|---|
| 327 | the ATA command to be executed.
|
|---|
| 328 |
|
|---|
| 329 | The big advantage of AHCI controllers, apart from being vendor-neutral,
|
|---|
| 330 | is that they take care of a lot of things which previous-generation
|
|---|
| 331 | drivers like DANI1S506 would have to do step by step. For example, in
|
|---|
| 332 | order to send an ATAPI command, DANIS506 would have to do the following:
|
|---|
| 333 |
|
|---|
| 334 | * Send ATA "PACKET" command to device (via IDE registers, ATA taskfiles
|
|---|
| 335 | or SATA FIS)
|
|---|
| 336 | * Wait until device signals via interrupt it's ready for the ATAPI command
|
|---|
| 337 | * Send ATAPI command to device via PIO
|
|---|
| 338 | * Wait until device signals via interrupt it's ready to transfer data
|
|---|
| 339 | * Send/Receive any data that might come along with the ATAPI command via
|
|---|
| 340 | PIO, or wait for DMA transfer to complete
|
|---|
| 341 | * Wait until device signals via interrupt that command and data transfer
|
|---|
| 342 | have completed
|
|---|
| 343 |
|
|---|
| 344 | For OS2AHCI, the same operation looks like this:

| 346 | * Fill in AHCI command header, FIS with ATA "PACKET" command and the ATAPI
|
|---|
| 347 | command
|
|---|
| 348 | * Tell port engine to process the command
|
|---|
| 349 | * Wait until controller signals via interrupt that command and data
|
|---|
| 350 | transfer have completed
|
|---|
| 351 |
|
|---|
| 352 | The AHCI controller automatically takes care of all underlying bits and
|
|---|
| 353 | pieces. OS2AHCI doesn't even have to know whether a particular message is
|
|---|
| 354 | sent via PIO or DMA because this is handled by the AHCI controller, too.
|
|---|
| 355 | And the whole concept of PIO and DMA is only relevant between AHCI controller
|
|---|
| 356 | and the device -- all transfers between OS2AHCI and the AHCI controller are
|
|---|
| 357 | always done via DMA.

| 360 | SMART Support
|
|---|
| 361 | =============
|
|---|
| 362 |
|
|---|
| 363 | Starting with version 1.22, OS2AHCI supports the IOCTL interface required by
|
|---|
| 364 | existing SMART monitoring tools. Since those tools are hard-coded to open
|
|---|
| 365 | the character device named "IBMS506$", OS2AHCI will now register a device
|
|---|
| 366 | with this name, too.
|
|---|
| 367 |
|
|---|
| 368 | NOTES:
|
|---|
| 369 |
|
|---|
| 370 | - If multiple drivers exporting this character device name are loaded at
|
|---|
| 371 | the same time, the driver loaded last will receive all [SMART] requests.
|
|---|
| 372 | This means that if both DANIS506 and OS2AHCI are loaded and SMART support
|
|---|
| 373 | for OS2AHCI-controlled hard disks is desired, OS2AHCI will have to be
|
|---|
| 374 | loaded after DANIS506. It also means that DANIS506 may have to be told
|
|---|
| 375 | to ignore type 2 controllers (i.e. controllers supporting both SATA and
|
|---|
| 376 | AHCI) using the command line options "/A:x /I".
|
|---|
| 377 |
|
|---|
| 378 | - The IOCTL interface for SMART is based on the idea of IDE controllers
|
|---|
| 379 | with a master and a slave drive. OS2AHCI maps all devices (ATA or ATAPI)
|
|---|
| 380 | sequentially to this pattern. If, for example, you have 4 hard disks and
|
|---|
| 381 | one CDROM attached to a single controller on ports 1, 2, 5, 7, and 11,
|
|---|
| 382 | SMART tools will see 3 controllers as follows:
|
|---|
| 383 |
|
|---|
| 384 | - controller 0, master: HD on port 1
|
|---|
| 385 | - controller 0, slave: HD on port 2
|
|---|
| 386 | - controller 1, master: HD on port 5
|
|---|
| 387 | - controller 1, slave: HD on port 7
|
|---|
| 388 | - controller 2, master: CDROM on port 11
|
|---|
| 389 |
|
|---|
| 390 | - The DSKSP_GEN_GET_COUNTERS interface is currently unsupported; calls to
|
|---|
| 391 | the corresponding IOCTL will return 0 for all counters. SMART counters
|
|---|
| 392 | are not affected by this limitation, i.e. SMART tools will be able to
|
|---|
| 393 | report counters from the physical disk; this limitation only affects
|
|---|
| 394 | the software counters maintained by ADD drivers which do support the
|
|---|
| 395 | DSKSP_GEN_GET_COUNTERS IOCTL request.
