misc: fastrpc: Add support for context Invoke method
This patch adds support to compute context invoke method on the remote processor (DSP). This involves setting up the functions input and output arguments, input and output handles and mapping the dmabuf fd for the argument/handle buffers. The below diagram depicts invocation of a single method where the client and objects reside on different processors. An object could expose multiple methods which can be grouped together and referred to as an interface. ,--------, ,------, ,-----------, ,------, ,--------, | | method | | | | | | method | | | Client |------->| Stub |->| Transport |->| Skel |------->| Object | | | | | | | | | | | `--------` `------` `-----------` `------` `--------` Client: Linux user mode process that initiates the remote invocation Stub: Auto generated code linked in with the user mode process that takes care of marshaling parameters Transport: Involved in carrying an invocation from a client to an object. This involves two portions: 1) FastRPC Linux kernel driver that receives the remote invocation, queues them up and then waits for the response after signaling the remote side. 2) Service running on the remote side that dequeues the messages from the queue and dispatches them for processing. Skel: Auto generated code that takes care of un-marshaling parameters Object: Method implementation Most of the work is derived from various downstream Qualcomm kernels.
