Hello,
This patch series adds drivers for Xilinx Alveo PCIe accelerator cards. These drivers are part of Xilinx Runtime (XRT) open source stack and have been deployed by leading FaaS vendors and many enterprise
customers.
Cool, first fpga driver submitted to drm! And from a high level I think this makes a lot of sense.
PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE
Alveo PCIe platforms have a static shell and a reconfigurable (dynamic) region. The shell is automatically loaded from PROM when host is booted and PCIe is enumerated by BIOS. Shell cannot be changed till next cold reboot. The shell exposes two physical functions: management physical function and user physical function.
Users compile their high level design in C/C++/OpenCL or RTL into FPGA image using SDx compiler. The FPGA image packaged as xclbin file can be loaded onto reconfigurable region. The image may contain one or more compute unit. Users can dynamically swap the full image running on the reconfigurable region in order to switch between different
workloads.
XRT DRIVERS
XRT Linux kernel driver xmgmt binds to mgmt pf. The driver is modular and organized into several platform drivers which primarily handle the following functionality:
- ICAP programming (FPGA bitstream download with FPGA Mgr
integration) 2. Clock scaling 3. Loading firmware container also called dsabin (embedded Microblaze firmware for ERT and XMC, optional clearing bitstream) 4. In-band sensors: temp, voltage, power, etc. 5. AXI Firewall management 6. Device reset and rescan 7. Hardware mailbox for communication between two physical functions
XRT Linux kernel driver xocl binds to user pf. Like its peer, this driver is also modular and organized into several platform drivers which handle the following functionality:
- Device memory topology discovery and memory management 2. Buffer
object abstraction and management for client process 3. XDMA MM PCIe DMA engine programming 4. Multi-process aware context management 5. Compute unit execution management (optionally with help of ERT) for client processes 6. Hardware mailbox for communication between two physical functions
The drivers export ioctls and sysfs nodes for various services. xocl driver makes heavy use of DRM GEM features for device memory management, reference counting, mmap support and export/import. xocl also includes a simple scheduler called KDS which schedules compute units and interacts with hardware scheduler running ERT firmware. The scheduler understands custom opcodes packaged into command objects
and
provides an asynchronous command done notification via POSIX poll.
More details on architecture, software APIs, ioctl definitions, execution model, etc. is available as Sphinx documentation--
https://xilinx.github.io/XRT/2018.3/html/index.html
The complete runtime software stack (XRT) which includes out of tree kernel drivers, user space libraries, board utilities and firmware for the hardware scheduler is open source and available at https://github.com/Xilinx/XRT
Before digging into the implementation side more I looked into the userspace here. I admit I got lost a bit, since there's lots of indirections and abstractions going on, but it seems like this is just a fancy ioctl wrapper/driver backend abstractions. Not really something applications would use.

Appreciate your feedback.
The userspace libraries define a common abstraction but have different implementations for Zynq Ultrascale+ embedded platform, PCIe based Alveo (and Faas) and emulation flows. The latter lets you run your application without physical hardware.
From the pretty picture on github it looks like there's some opencl/ml/other fancy stuff sitting on top that applications would use. Is that also available?
The full OpenCL runtime is available in the same repository. Xilinx ML Suite is also based on XRT and its source can be found at https://github.com/Xilinx/ml-suite.
Hm, I did a few git grep for the usual opencl entry points, but didn't find anything. Do I need to run some build scripts first (which downloads additional sourcecode)? Or is there some symbol mangling going on and that's why I don't find anything? Pointers very much appreciated.
Typically end users use OpenCL APIs which are part of XRT stack. One can write an application to directly call XRT APIs defined at https://xilinx.github.io/XRT/2018.3/html/xclhal2.main.html
I have no clue about DNN/ML unfortunately, I think I'll try to look into the ocl side a bit more first.
