This patch implements PRUSS (Programmable Real-time Unit Sub System) UIO driver which exports SOC resources associated with PRUSS like I/O, memories and IRQs to user space. PRUSS is dual 32-bit RISC processors which is efficient in performing embedded tasks that require manipulation of packed memory mapped data structures and handling system events that have tight real time constraints. This driver is currently supported on Texas Instruments DA850, AM18xx and OMAP-L138 devices. For example, PRUSS runs firmware for real-time critical industrial communication data link layer and communicates with application stack running in user space via shared memory and IRQs.

Enable this to allow the userspace driver core code to be

built. This code allows userspace programs easy access to

kernel interrupts and memory locations, allowing some drivers

to be written in userspace. Note that a small kernel driver
|
|
is also required for interrupt handling to work properly.

This kernel driver requires that the matching userspace driver

handles interrupts in a special way. Userspace is responsible

for acknowledging the hardware device if needed, and re-enabling

interrupts in the interrupt controller using the write() syscall.

This device differs from other UIO devices since it uses I/O

ports instead of memory mapped I/O. In order to make it

possible for UIO to work with this device a utility, uioport,

can be used to read and write the ports:
