pipe_crc — Pipe CRC support

Functions

Types and Values

Includes

#include <igt_pipe_crc.h>

Description

This library wraps up the kernel's support for capturing pipe CRCs into a neat and tidy package. For the detailed usage see all the functions which work on igt_pipe_crc_t. This is supported on all platforms and outputs.

Actually using pipe CRCs to write modeset tests is a bit tricky though, so there is no way to directly check a CRC: Both the details of the plane blending, color correction and other hardware and how exactly the CRC is computed at each tap point vary by hardware generation and are not disclosed.

The only way to use igt_crc_t CRCs therefore is to compare CRCs among each another either for equality or difference. Otherwise CRCs must be treated as completely opaque values. Note that not even CRCs from different pipes or tap points on the same platform can be compared. Hence only use igt_assert_crc_equal() to inspect CRC values captured by the same igt_pipe_crc_t object.

Functions

igt_find_crc_mismatch ()

bool
igt_find_crc_mismatch (const igt_crc_t *a,
                       const igt_crc_t *b,
                       int *index);

Check if CRC a and CRC b mismatch.

Returns true if CRC values mismatch, false otherwise;

Parameters

a

first pipe CRC value

 

b

second pipe CRC value

 

index

index of the first value that mismatched

 

igt_assert_crc_equal ()

void
igt_assert_crc_equal (const igt_crc_t *a,
                      const igt_crc_t *b);

Compares two CRC values and fails the testcase if they don't match with igt_fail(). Note that due to CRC collisions CRC based testcase can only assert that CRCs match, never that they are different. Otherwise there might be random testcase failures when different screen contents end up with the same CRC by chance.

Passing --skip-crc-compare on the command line will force this function to always pass, which can be useful in interactive debugging where you might know the test will fail, but still want the test to keep going as if it had succeeded so that you can see the on-screen behavior.

Parameters

a

first pipe CRC value

 

b

second pipe CRC value

 

igt_check_crc_equal ()

bool
igt_check_crc_equal (const igt_crc_t *a,
                     const igt_crc_t *b);

Compares two CRC values and return whether they match.

Parameters

a

first pipe CRC value

 

b

second pipe CRC value

 

Returns

A boolean indicating whether the CRC values match


igt_crc_to_string_extended ()

char *
igt_crc_to_string_extended (igt_crc_t *crc,
                            char delimiter,
                            int crc_size);

This function allocates a string and formats crc into it, depending on delimiter and crc_size . The caller is responsible for freeing the string.

This should only ever be used for diagnostic debug output.

Parameters

crc

pipe CRC value to print

 

delimiter

The delimiter to use between crc words

 

crc_size

the number of bytes to print per crc word (between 1 and 4)

 

igt_crc_to_string ()

char *
igt_crc_to_string (igt_crc_t *crc);

This function allocates a string and formats crc into it. The caller is responsible for freeing the string.

This should only ever be used for diagnostic debug output.

Parameters

crc

pipe CRC value to print

 

igt_require_pipe_crc ()

void
igt_require_pipe_crc (int fd);

Convenience helper to check whether pipe CRC capturing is supported by the kernel. Uses igt_skip to automatically skip the test/subtest if this isn't the case.

Parameters

fd

fd of the device

 

igt_pipe_crc_new ()

igt_pipe_crc_t *
igt_pipe_crc_new (int fd,
                  enum pipe pipe,
                  const char *source);

This sets up a new pipe CRC capture object for the given pipe and source in blocking mode.

Parameters

fd

fd of the device

 

pipe

display pipe to use as source

 

source

CRC tap point to use as source

 

Returns

A pipe CRC object for the given pipe and source . The library assumes that the source is always available since recent kernels support at least IGT_PIPE_CRC_SOURCE_AUTO everywhere.


igt_pipe_crc_new_nonblock ()

igt_pipe_crc_t *
igt_pipe_crc_new_nonblock (int fd,
                           enum pipe pipe,
                           const char *source);

This sets up a new pipe CRC capture object for the given pipe and source in nonblocking mode.

Parameters

fd

fd of the device

 

pipe

display pipe to use as source

 

source

CRC tap point to use as source

 

Returns

A pipe CRC object for the given pipe and source . The library assumes that the source is always available since recent kernels support at least IGT_PIPE_CRC_SOURCE_AUTO everywhere.


igt_pipe_crc_free ()

void
igt_pipe_crc_free (igt_pipe_crc_t *pipe_crc);

Frees all resources associated with pipe_crc .

Parameters

pipe_crc

pipe CRC object

 

igt_pipe_crc_start ()

void
igt_pipe_crc_start (igt_pipe_crc_t *pipe_crc);

Starts the CRC capture process on pipe_crc .

Parameters

pipe_crc

pipe CRC object

 

igt_pipe_crc_stop ()

void
igt_pipe_crc_stop (igt_pipe_crc_t *pipe_crc);

Stops the CRC capture process on pipe_crc .

Parameters

pipe_crc

pipe CRC object

 

igt_pipe_crc_get_crcs ()

int
igt_pipe_crc_get_crcs (igt_pipe_crc_t *pipe_crc,
                       int n_crcs,
                       igt_crc_t **out_crcs);

Read up to n_crcs from pipe_crc . This function does not block, and will return early if not enough CRCs can be captured, if pipe_crc has been opened using igt_pipe_crc_new_nonblock(). It will block until n_crcs are retrieved if pipe_crc has been opened using igt_pipe_crc_new(). out_crcs is alloced by this function and must be released with free() by the caller.

Callers must start and stop the capturing themselves by calling igt_pipe_crc_start() and igt_pipe_crc_stop(). For one-shot CRC collecting look at igt_pipe_crc_collect_crc().

Parameters

pipe_crc

pipe CRC object

 

n_crcs

number of CRCs to capture

 

out_crcs

buffer pointer for the captured CRC values

 

Returns

The number of CRCs captured. Should be equal to n_crcs in blocking mode, but can be less (even zero) in non-blocking mode.


igt_pipe_crc_drain ()

void
igt_pipe_crc_drain (igt_pipe_crc_t *pipe_crc);

Discards all currently queued CRC values from pipe_crc . This function does not block, and is useful to flush pipe_crc . Afterwards you can get a fresh CRC with igt_pipe_crc_get_single().

Parameters

pipe_crc

pipe CRC object

 

igt_pipe_crc_get_single ()

void
igt_pipe_crc_get_single (igt_pipe_crc_t *pipe_crc,
                         igt_crc_t *out_crc);

Read a single crc from pipe_crc . This function blocks even when nonblocking CRC is requested.

Callers must start and stop the capturing themselves by calling igt_pipe_crc_start() and igt_pipe_crc_stop(). For one-shot CRC collecting look at igt_pipe_crc_collect_crc().

If capturing has been going on for a while and a fresh crc is required, you should use igt_pipe_crc_get_current() instead.

Parameters

pipe_crc

pipe CRC object

 

crc

buffer pointer for the captured CRC value

 

igt_pipe_crc_get_current ()

void
igt_pipe_crc_get_current (int drm_fd,
                          igt_pipe_crc_t *pipe_crc,
                          igt_crc_t *crc);

Same as igt_pipe_crc_get_single(), but will wait until a new CRC can be captured. This is useful for retrieving the current CRC in a more race free way than igt_pipe_crc_drain() + igt_pipe_crc_get_single().

Parameters

drm_fd

Pointer to drm fd for vblank counter

 

pipe_crc

pipe CRC object

 

crc

buffer pointer for the captured CRC value

 

igt_pipe_crc_get_for_frame ()

void
igt_pipe_crc_get_for_frame (int drm_fd,
                            igt_pipe_crc_t *pipe_crc,
                            unsigned int vblank,
                            igt_crc_t *crc);

igt_pipe_crc_collect_crc ()

void
igt_pipe_crc_collect_crc (igt_pipe_crc_t *pipe_crc,
                          igt_crc_t *out_crc);

Read a single CRC from pipe_crc . This function blocks until the CRC is retrieved, irrespective of whether pipe_crc has been opened with igt_pipe_crc_new() or igt_pipe_crc_new_nonblock(). out_crc must be allocated by the caller.

This function takes care of the pipe_crc book-keeping, it will start/stop the collection of the CRC.

This function also calls the interactive debug with the "crc" domain, so you can make use of this feature to actually see the screen that is being CRC'd.

For continuous CRC collection look at igt_pipe_crc_start(), igt_pipe_crc_get_crcs() and igt_pipe_crc_stop().

Parameters

pipe_crc

pipe CRC object

 

out_crc

buffer for the captured CRC values

 

Types and Values
