The Switch uses a customized NVIDIA driver.

Contents

nvdrv, nvdrv:a, nvdrv:s, nvdrv:t

This is "nns::nvdrv::INvDrvServices".

Main NVIDIA driver service.

Each service is used by:

  • "nvdrv": regular applications
  • "nvdrv:a": applets
  • "nvdrv:s": sysmodules
  • "nvdrv:t": factory titles
Cmd Name
0 #Open
1 #Ioctl
2 #Close
3 #Initialize
4 #QueryEvent
5 #MapSharedMem
6 #GetStatus
7 #SetAruid
8 #SetAruidByPID
9 #DumpGraphicsMemoryInfo
10 [3.0.0+] #InitializeDevtools
11 [3.0.0+] #Ioctl2
12 [3.0.0+] #Ioctl3
13 [3.0.0+] #FinishInitialize

Open

Takes a type-0x5 input buffer for the device-path. Returns the output 32bit fd and the u32 error_code.

Ioctl

Takes a 32bit fd, an u32 ioctl_cmd, a type-0x21 input buffer, and a type-0x22 output buffer. Returns an output u32 (error_code).

The addr/size for send/recv buffers are only set when the associated direction bit is set in the ioctl cmd (addr/size = 0 otherwise).

Close

Takes a 32bit fd. Returns an output u32 (error_code).

Initialize

Takes two copy-handles (current_process and transfer_memory) and an input u32 (transfer_memory_size). Returns an output u32 (error_code).

Webkit applet creates the transfer-memory with perm = 0 and size 0x300000.

QueryEvent

Takes two input u32s (fd and event_id), with the second word immediately after the first one. Returns an output u32 (error_code) and a copy-handle (event_handle).

QueryEvent is only supported on (and implemented differently on):

  • /dev/nvhost-gpu
    • 1: SmException_BptIntReport
    • 2: SmException_BptPauseReport
    • 3: ErrorNotifierEvent
  • /dev/nvhost-ctrl: Used to get events for SyncPts.
    • If bit31-28 is 1, then lower 16-bits contain event_slot, bit27-16 contain syncpt_number.
    • If bit31-28 is 0, then lower 4-bits contain event_slot, bit31-4 contains syncpt_number.
  • /dev/nvhost-ctrl-gpu
    • 1: Returns error_event_handle.
    • 2: Returns unknown event.
  • /dev/nvhost-dbg-gpu
    • Ignores event_id.

MapSharedMem

Takes a copy-handle (transfer_memory) and two input u32s (fd and nvmap_handle). Returns an output u32 (error_code).

GetStatus

Takes no input. Returns 0x10-bytes and an output u32 (error_code).

SetAruid

Takes an input u64 which must match the user-process PID (AppletResourceUserId). Returns an output u32 (error_code).

SetAruidByPID

Takes a PID-descriptor and an u64 which must match the user-process PID (AppletResourceUserId). Returns an output u32 (error_code).

DumpGraphicsMemoryInfo

No input or output. Does nothing.

InitializeDevtools

Takes a copy-handle and an input u32. Returns an output u32 (error_code).

Ioctl2

Takes a type-0x21 buffer, a type-0x22 buffer, a type-0x21 buffer, and two input u32s. Returns an output u32 (error_code).

Ioctl3

Takes a type-0x21 buffer, a type-0x22 buffer, another type-0x22 buffer, and two input u32s. Returns an output u32 (error_code). Cmdhdr_word1 is 0x100B instead of 0xC0B.

FinishInitialize

Takes an input u64. No output.

This sets a boolean value based on the input u64 and the value of the "nv!nv_graphics_firmware_memory_margin" system configuration, but only for "nvdrv" (the other services default to false).

Official user-processes starting with 3.0.0 now use this at the end of nvdrv service init with value 0x1.

Ioctls

The ioctl number is generated with the following primitive (see Linux kernel): 

#define _IOC(inout, group, num, len) \
   (inout | ((len & IOCPARM_MASK) << 16) | ((group) << 8) | (num))

The following table contains known ioctls.

NVMAP_IOC_CREATE

Creates an nvmap object. Identical to Linux driver. 

 struct {
   __in  u32 size;
   __out u32 handle;
 };

NVMAP_IOC_FROM_ID

Get handle to an existing nvmap object. Identical to Linux driver. 

 struct {
   __in  u32 id;
   __out u32 handle;
 };

NVMAP_IOC_ALLOC

Allocate memory for the nvmap object. Nintendo extended this one with 16 bytes, and changed it from in to inout. 

 struct {
   __in u32 handle;
   __in u32 heapmask;
   __in u32 flags;    // (0=read-only, 1=read-write)
   __in u32 align;
   __in u8  kind;
   u8       pad[7];
   __inout u64 addr;
 };

NVMAP_IOC_FREE

This one is completely custom. Partly because the Linux driver passed the handle as the ioctl "arg-ptr", and HIPC can't handle that voodoo. 

 struct {
   __in  u32 handle;
   u32       pad;
   __out u64 refcount;
   __out u32 size;
   __out u32 flags;    // 1=NOT_FREED_YET
 };

NVMAP_IOC_PARAM

Returns info about a nvmap object. Identical to Linux driver, but extended with further params. 

 struct {
   __in  u32 handle;
   __in  u32 param;  // 1=SIZE, 2=ALIGNMENT, 3=BASE (returns error), 4=HEAP (always 0x40000000), 5=KIND, 6=COMPR (unused)
   __out u32 result;
 };

NVMAP_IOC_GET_ID

Returns an id for a nvmap object. Identical to Linux driver. 

 struct {
   __out u32 id; //~0 indicates error
   __in  u32 handle;
 };

/dev/nvhost-as-gpu

Each fd opened to this device creates an address space. An address space is then later bound with a channel.

Once a nvgpu channel has been bound to an address space it cannot be unbound. There is no support for allowing an nvgpu channel to change from one address space to another (or from one to none).

NVGPU_AS_IOCTL_BIND_CHANNEL

Identical to Linux driver. 

 struct {
   __in u32 fd;
 };

NVGPU_AS_IOCTL_ALLOC_SPACE

This one reserves pages in the device address space. 

 struct {
   __in u32 pages;

NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_SET_NVMAP_FD

Binds a nvmap object to this channel. Identical to Linux driver.

This ioctl is a no-op in the Linux driver, not sure about Switch? 

 struct {
   __in u32 nvmap_fd;
 };

NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_ALLOC_GPFIFO

Allocates gpfifo entries. Identical to Linux driver. 

 struct {
   __in u32 num_entries;
   __in u32 flags;
 };

NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_SUBMIT_GPFIFO

Submits a gpfifo object. Modified to take inline entry objects instead of a pointer. 

 struct fence {
   u32 syncpt_id;
   u32 syncpt_value;
 };
 
 struct gpfifo_entry {
   u64 entry;                            // gpu_iova | (unk_2bits << 40) | (size << 42) | (unk_flag << 63)
 };
 
 struct {
   __in    u64 gpfifo;                      // (ignored) pointer to gpfifo fence structs
   __in    u32 num_entries;                 // number of fence objects being submitted
   __in    u32 flags;
   __inout struct fence fence_out;         // returned new fence object for others to wait on
   __in    struct gpfifo_entry entries[];  // depends on num_entries
 };

NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_ALLOC_OBJ_CTX

Allocates a graphics context object. Modified to ignore object's ID.

You can only have one object context allocated at a time. You must have bound an address space before using this. 

 struct {
   __in  u32 class_num;    // 0x902D=2d, 0xB197=3d, 0xB1C0=compute, 0xA140=kepler, 0xB0B5=DMA, 0xB06F=channel_gpfifo
   __in  u32 flags;        // bit0: LOCKBOOST_ZERO
   __out u64 obj_id;       // (ignored) used for FREE_OBJ_CTX ioctl, which is not supported
 };

NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_ZCULL_BIND

Binds a ZCULL context to the channel. Identical to Linux driver. 

struct {
   __in u64 gpu_va;
   __in u32 mode;         // 0=global, 1=no_ctxsw, 2=separate_buffer, 3=part_of_regular_buf
   __in u32 padding;
 };

NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_SET_ERROR_NOTIFIER

Initializes the error notifier for this channel. Unlike for the Linux kernel, the Switch driver cannot write to an arbitrary userspace buffer. Thus new ioctls have been introduced to fetch the error information rather than using a shared memory buffer. 

 struct {
   __in u64 offset;  // ignored
   __in u64 size;    // ignored
   __in u32 mem;     // must be non-zero to initialize, zero to de-initialize
   __in u32 padding; // ignored
 };

NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_SET_PRIORITY

Change channel's priority. Identical to Linux driver. 

 struct {
   __in u32 priority;    // 0x32 is low, 0x64 is medium and 0x96 is high
 };

NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_ENABLE

Enables the current channel. Identical to Linux driver.

NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_DISABLE

Disables the current channel. Identical to Linux driver.

NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_PREEMPT

Clears the FIFO pipe for this channel. Identical to Linux driver.

NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_FORCE_RESET

Forces the channel to reset. Identical to Linux driver.

NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_EVENT_ID_CONTROL

Controls event notifications. 

 struct {
   __in u32 cmd;    // 0=disable, 1=enable, 2=clear
   __in u32 id;     // same id's as for #QueryEvent
 };

NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_GET_ERROR_NOTIFICATION

Returns the current error notification caught by the error notifier. Exclusive to the Switch.

Despite being marked as inout this is all output. 

 struct {
   __out u64 timestamp;    // fetched straight from armGetSystemTick
   __out u32 info32;       // error code
   __out u16 info16;       // additional error info
   __out u16 status;       // always 0xFFFF
 };

NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_ALLOC_GPFIFO_EX

Allocates gpfifo entries with additional parameters. Exclusive to the Switch. 

 struct {
   __in u32 num_entries;
   __in u32 flags;
   __in u32 unk0;            // 1 works
   __in u32 unk1;
   __in u32 unk2;
   __in u32 unk3;
   __in u32 unk4;
   __in u32 unk5;
 };

NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_SUBMIT_GPFIFO_RETRY

Submits a gpfifo object (async version). Exclusive to the Switch. 

 struct {

NVGPU_IOCTL_CHANNEL_ALLOC_GPFIFO_EX2

Allocates gpfifo entries with additional parameters and returns a fence. Exclusive to the Switch. 

 struct {
   u32 __num_entries;         // in
   u32 __flags;               // in
   u32 __unk0;                // in (1 works)
   struct fence __fence_out;  // out

   u32 __unk2;                // in
   u32 __unk3;                // in
 };

nvmemp

NVIDIA memory profiler (this service is not available on retail units). /dev/nvhost-ctrl sends the ioctl NVHOST_IOCTL_CTRL_GET_CONFIG to check the config "nv!NV_MEMORY_PROFILER". If config_str returns "1", the applications attempts to talk to use nvmemp.

Panic

In some cases, a panic may occur. NV forces a crash by doing: 

(void *)0 = 0xCAFE;

End result is that the system hangs with a white-screen.

Gpfifo Panic

When the gpfifo data in the gpu_va buffers specified by the submitted gpfifo entries is invalid(?), eventually the user-process will be force-terminated after using the submit-gpfifo ioctl. It's unknown how exactly this is done.
