+ where a system failed to go into S0ix. When the system resumes,
+ an EC with this feature will return a summary of SLP_S0
+ transitions that occurred. The last_resume_result file returns
+ the most recent response from the AP's resume message to the EC.
+
+ The bottom 31 bits contain a count of the number of SLP_S0
+ transitions that occurred since the suspend message was
+ received. Bit 31 is set if the EC attempted to wake the
+ system due to a timeout when watching for SLP_S0 transitions.
+ Callers can use this to detect a wake from the EC due to
+ S0ix timeouts. The result will be zero if no suspend
+ transitions have been attempted, or the EC does not support
+ this feature.
+
+ Output will be in the format: "0x%08x\n".

Description:
Write and read raw mailbox commands to the EC.
- For writing:
- Bytes 0-1 indicate the message type:
- 00 F0 = Execute Legacy Command
- 00 F2 = Read/Write NVRAM Property
- Byte 2 provides the command code
- Bytes 3+ consist of the data passed in the request
+ You can write a hexadecimal sentence to raw, and that series of
+ bytes will be sent to the EC. Then, you can read the bytes of
+ response by reading from raw.
- At least three bytes are required, for the msg type and command,
- with additional bytes optional for additional data.
+ For writing, bytes 0-1 indicate the message type, one of enum
+ wilco_ec_msg_type. Byte 2+ consist of the data passed in the
+ request, starting at MBOX[0]. At least three bytes are required
+ for writing, two for the type and at least a single byte of
+ data.
Example:
// Request EC info type 3 (EC firmware build date)
- $ echo 00 f0 38 00 03 00 > raw
+ // Corresponds with sending type 0x00f0 with
+ // MBOX = [38, 00, 03, 00]
+ $ echo 00 f0 38 00 03 00 > /sys/kernel/debug/wilco_ec/raw
// View the result. The decoded ASCII result "12/21/18" is
// included after the raw hex.
- $ cat raw
- 00 31 32 2f 32 31 2f 31 38 00 38 00 01 00 2f 00 .12/21/18.8...
+ // Corresponds with MBOX = [00, 00, 31, 32, 2f, 32, 31, 38, ...]

+
+ Note that the first 16 bytes of the received MBOX[] will be
+ printed, even if some of the data is junk, and skipping bytes
+ 17 to 32. It is up to you to know how many of the first bytes of
+ data are the actual response.

+ driver_override file (echo vfio-ccw > driver_override) and
+ may be cleared with an empty string (echo > driver_override).
+ This returns the device to standard matching rules binding.
+ Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the

+ automatically load the specified driver. If no driver with a
+ matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, the device
+ will not bind to any driver. This also allows devices to

+ Note that unlike the mechanism of the same name for pci, this
+ file does not allow to override basic matching rules. I.e.,

+Description:
+ Value that exists only for mux devices that can be
+ written to control the behaviour of the multiplexer on
+ idle. Possible values:
+ -2 - disconnect on idle, i.e. deselect the last used
+ channel, which is useful when there is a device
+ with an address that conflicts with another
+ device on another mux on the same parent bus.
+ -1 - leave the mux as-is, which is the most optimal
+ setting in terms of I2C operations and is the
+ default mode.
+ 0..<nchans> - set the mux to a predetermined channel,
+ which is useful if there is one channel that is
+ used almost always, and you want to reduce the
+ latency for normal operations after rare
+ transactions on other channels

+RCU Concepts
+============
+
+The basic idea behind RCU (read-copy update) is to split destructive
+operations into two parts, one that prevents anyone from seeing the data
+item being destroyed, and one that actually carries out the destruction.
+A "grace period" must elapse between the two parts, and this grace period
+must be long enough that any readers accessing the item being deleted have
+since dropped their references. For example, an RCU-protected deletion
+from a linked list would first remove the item from the list, wait for
+a grace period to elapse, then free the element. See the
+Documentation/RCU/listRCU.rst file for more information on using RCU with
+linked lists.
+
+Frequently Asked Questions
+--------------------------
+
+- Why would anyone want to use RCU?
+
+ The advantage of RCU's two-part approach is that RCU readers need
+ not acquire any locks, perform any atomic instructions, write to
+ shared memory, or (on CPUs other than Alpha) execute any memory
+ barriers. The fact that these operations are quite expensive
+ on modern CPUs is what gives RCU its performance advantages
+ in read-mostly situations. The fact that RCU readers need not
+ acquire locks can also greatly simplify deadlock-avoidance code.
+
+- How can the updater tell when a grace period has completed
+ if the RCU readers give no indication when they are done?
+
+ Just as with spinlocks, RCU readers are not permitted to
+ block, switch to user-mode execution, or enter the idle loop.
+ Therefore, as soon as a CPU is seen passing through any of these
+ three states, we know that that CPU has exited any previous RCU
+ read-side critical sections. So, if we remove an item from a
+ linked list, and then wait until all CPUs have switched context,
+ executed in user mode, or executed in the idle loop, we can
+ safely free up that item.
+
+ Preemptible variants of RCU (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) get the
+ same effect, but require that the readers manipulate CPU-local
+ counters. These counters allow limited types of blocking within
+ RCU read-side critical sections. SRCU also uses CPU-local
+ counters, and permits general blocking within RCU read-side
+ critical sections. These variants of RCU detect grace periods
+ by sampling these counters.
+
+- If I am running on a uniprocessor kernel, which can only do one
+ thing at a time, why should I wait for a grace period?
+
+ See the Documentation/RCU/UP.rst file for more information.

In short, rcu_dereference() is -not- optional when you are going to
dereference the resulting pointer.
+
+
+WHICH MEMBER OF THE rcu_dereference() FAMILY SHOULD YOU USE?
+
+First, please avoid using rcu_dereference_raw() and also please avoid
+using rcu_dereference_check() and rcu_dereference_protected() with a
+second argument with a constant value of 1 (or true, for that matter).
+With that caution out of the way, here is some guidance for which
+member of the rcu_dereference() to use in various situations:
+
+1. If the access needs to be within an RCU read-side critical
+ section, use rcu_dereference(). With the new consolidated
+ RCU flavors, an RCU read-side critical section is entered
+ using rcu_read_lock(), anything that disables bottom halves,
+ anything that disables interrupts, or anything that disables
+ preemption.
+
+2. If the access might be within an RCU read-side critical section
+ on the one hand, or protected by (say) my_lock on the other,
+ use rcu_dereference_check(), for example:
+
+ p1 = rcu_dereference_check(p->rcu_protected_pointer,
+ lockdep_is_held(&my_lock));
+
+
+3. If the access might be within an RCU read-side critical section
+ on the one hand, or protected by either my_lock or your_lock on
+ the other, again use rcu_dereference_check(), for example:
+
+ p1 = rcu_dereference_check(p->rcu_protected_pointer,
+ lockdep_is_held(&my_lock) ||
+ lockdep_is_held(&your_lock));
+
+4. If the access is on the update side, so that it is always protected
+ by my_lock, use rcu_dereference_protected():
+
+ p1 = rcu_dereference_protected(p->rcu_protected_pointer,
+ lockdep_is_held(&my_lock));
+
+ This can be extended to handle multiple locks as in #3 above,
+ and both can be extended to check other conditions as well.
+
+5. If the protection is supplied by the caller, and is thus unknown
+ to this code, that is the rare case when rcu_dereference_raw()
+ is appropriate. In addition, rcu_dereference_raw() might be
+ appropriate when the lockdep expression would be excessively
+ complex, except that a better approach in that case might be to
+ take a long hard look at your synchronization design. Still,
+ there are data-locking cases where any one of a very large number
+ of locks or reference counters suffices to protect the pointer,
+ so rcu_dereference_raw() does have its place.
+
+ However, its place is probably quite a bit smaller than one
+ might expect given the number of uses in the current kernel.
+ Ditto for its synonym, rcu_dereference_check( ... , 1), and
+ its close relative, rcu_dereference_protected(... , 1).
+
+
+SPARSE CHECKING OF RCU-PROTECTED POINTERS
+
+The sparse static-analysis tool checks for direct access to RCU-protected
+pointers, which can result in "interesting" bugs due to compiler
+optimizations involving invented loads and perhaps also load tearing.
+For example, suppose someone mistakenly does something like this:
+
+ p = q->rcu_protected_pointer;
+ do_something_with(p->a);
+ do_something_else_with(p->b);
+
+If register pressure is high, the compiler might optimize "p" out
+of existence, transforming the code to something like this:
+
+ do_something_with(q->rcu_protected_pointer->a);
+ do_something_else_with(q->rcu_protected_pointer->b);
+
+This could fatally disappoint your code if q->rcu_protected_pointer
+changed in the meantime. Nor is this a theoretical problem: Exactly
+this sort of bug cost Paul E. McKenney (and several of his innocent
+colleagues) a three-day weekend back in the early 1990s.
+
+Load tearing could of course result in dereferencing a mashup of a pair
+of pointers, which also might fatally disappoint your code.
+
+These problems could have been avoided simply by making the code instead
+read as follows:
+
+ p = rcu_dereference(q->rcu_protected_pointer);
+ do_something_with(p->a);
+ do_something_else_with(p->b);
+
+Unfortunately, these sorts of bugs can be extremely hard to spot during
+review. This is where the sparse tool comes into play, along with the
+"__rcu" marker. If you mark a pointer declaration, whether in a structure
+or as a formal parameter, with "__rcu", which tells sparse to complain if
+this pointer is accessed directly. It will also cause sparse to complain
+if a pointer not marked with "__rcu" is accessed using rcu_dereference()
+and friends. For example, ->rcu_protected_pointer might be declared as
+follows:
+
+ struct foo __rcu *rcu_protected_pointer;
+
+Use of "__rcu" is opt-in. If you choose not to use it, then you should
+ignore the sparse warnings.

+Monitoring for pressure thresholds
+==================================
+
+Users can register triggers and use poll() to be woken up when resource
+pressure exceeds certain thresholds.
+
+A trigger describes the maximum cumulative stall time over a specific
+time window, e.g. 100ms of total stall time within any 500ms window to
+generate a wakeup event.
+
+To register a trigger user has to open psi interface file under
+/proc/pressure/ representing the resource to be monitored and write the
+desired threshold and time window. The open file descriptor should be
+used to wait for trigger events using select(), poll() or epoll().
+The following format is used:
+
+<some|full> <stall amount in us> <time window in us>
+
+For example writing "some 150000 1000000" into /proc/pressure/memory
+would add 150ms threshold for partial memory stall measured within
+1sec time window. Writing "full 50000 1000000" into /proc/pressure/io
+would add 50ms threshold for full io stall measured within 1sec time window.
+
+Triggers can be set on more than one psi metric and more than one trigger
+for the same psi metric can be specified. However for each trigger a separate
+file descriptor is required to be able to poll it separately from others,
+therefore for each trigger a separate open() syscall should be made even
+when opening the same psi interface file.
+
+Monitors activate only when system enters stall state for the monitored
+psi metric and deactivates upon exit from the stall state. While system is
+in the stall state psi signal growth is monitored at a rate of 10 times per
+tracking window.
+
+The kernel accepts window sizes ranging from 500ms to 10s, therefore min
+monitoring update interval is 50ms and max is 1s. Min limit is set to
+prevent overly frequent polling. Max limit is chosen as a high enough number
+after which monitors are most likely not needed and psi averages can be used
+instead.
+
+When activated, psi monitor stays active for at least the duration of one
+tracking window to avoid repeated activations/deactivations when system is
+bouncing in and out of the stall state.
+
+Notifications to the userspace are rate-limited to one per tracking window.
+
+The trigger will de-register when the file descriptor used to define the
+trigger is closed.

-The AML Debugger
-
-Copyright (C) 2016, Intel Corporation
-Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com>
-
-
-This document describes the usage of the AML debugger embedded in the Linux
-kernel.
-
-1. Build the debugger
-
- The following kernel configuration items are required to enable the AML
- debugger interface from the Linux kernel:
-
- CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER=y
- CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER_USER=m
-
- The userspace utilities can be built from the kernel source tree using
- the following commands:
-
- $ cd tools
- $ make acpi
-
- The resultant userspace tool binary is then located at:
-
- tools/power/acpi/acpidbg
-
- It can be installed to system directories by running "make install" (as a
- sufficiently privileged user).
-
-2. Start the userspace debugger interface
-
- After booting the kernel with the debugger built-in, the debugger can be
- started by using the following commands:
-
- # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
- # modprobe acpi_dbg
- # tools/power/acpi/acpidbg
-
- That spawns the interactive AML debugger environment where you can execute
- debugger commands.
-
- The commands are documented in the "ACPICA Overview and Programmer Reference"
- that can be downloaded from
-
- https://acpica.org/documentation
-
- The detailed debugger commands reference is located in Chapter 12 "ACPICA
- Debugger Reference". The "help" command can be used for a quick reference.
-
-3. Stop the userspace debugger interface
-
- The interactive debugger interface can be closed by pressing Ctrl+C or using
- the "quit" or "exit" commands. When finished, unload the module with:
-
- # rmmod acpi_dbg
-
- The module unloading may fail if there is an acpidbg instance running.
-
-4. Run the debugger in a script
-
- It may be useful to run the AML debugger in a test script. "acpidbg" supports
- this in a special "batch" mode. For example, the following command outputs
- the entire ACPI namespace:
-
- # acpidbg -b "namespace"

+Describing and referring to LEDs in ACPI
+
+Individual LEDs are described by hierarchical data extension [6] nodes under the
+device node, the LED driver chip. The "reg" property in the LED specific nodes
+tells the numerical ID of each individual LED output to which the LEDs are
+connected. [3] The hierarchical data nodes are named "led@X", where X is the
+number of the LED output.
+
+Referring to LEDs in Device tree is documented in [4], in "flash-leds" property
+documentation. In short, LEDs are directly referred to by using phandles.
+
+While Device tree allows referring to any node in the tree[1], in ACPI
+references are limited to device nodes only [2]. For this reason using the same
+mechanism on ACPI is not possible. A mechanism to refer to non-device ACPI nodes
+is documented in [7].
+
+ACPI allows (as does DT) using integer arguments after the reference. A
+combination of the LED driver device reference and an integer argument,
+referring to the "reg" property of the relevant LED, is used to identify
+individual LEDs. The value of the "reg" property is a contract between the
+firmware and software, it uniquely identifies the LED driver outputs.
+
+Under the LED driver device, The first hierarchical data extension package list
+entry shall contain the string "led@" followed by the number of the LED,
+followed by the referred object name. That object shall be named "LED" followed
+by the number of the LED.

-Upgrading ACPI tables via initrd
-================================
-
-1) Introduction (What is this about)
-2) What is this for
-3) How does it work
-4) References (Where to retrieve userspace tools)
-
-1) What is this about
----------------------
-
-If the ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE compile option is true, it is possible to
-upgrade the ACPI execution environment that is defined by the ACPI tables
-via upgrading the ACPI tables provided by the BIOS with an instrumented,
-modified, more recent version one, or installing brand new ACPI tables.
-
-When building initrd with kernel in a single image, option
-ACPI_TABLE_OVERRIDE_VIA_BUILTIN_INITRD should also be true for this
-feature to work.
-
-For a full list of ACPI tables that can be upgraded/installed, take a look
-at the char *table_sigs[MAX_ACPI_SIGNATURE]; definition in
-drivers/acpi/tables.c.
-All ACPI tables iasl (Intel's ACPI compiler and disassembler) knows should
-be overridable, except:
- - ACPI_SIG_RSDP (has a signature of 6 bytes)
- - ACPI_SIG_FACS (does not have an ordinary ACPI table header)
-Both could get implemented as well.
-
-
-2) What is this for
--------------------
-
-Complain to your platform/BIOS vendor if you find a bug which is so severe
-that a workaround is not accepted in the Linux kernel. And this facility
-allows you to upgrade the buggy tables before your platform/BIOS vendor
-releases an upgraded BIOS binary.
-
-This facility can be used by platform/BIOS vendors to provide a Linux
-compatible environment without modifying the underlying platform firmware.
-
-This facility also provides a powerful feature to easily debug and test
-ACPI BIOS table compatibility with the Linux kernel by modifying old
-platform provided ACPI tables or inserting new ACPI tables.
-
-It can and should be enabled in any kernel because there is no functional
-change with not instrumented initrds.
-
-
-3) How does it work
--------------------
-
-# Extract the machine's ACPI tables:
-cd /tmp
-acpidump >acpidump
-acpixtract -a acpidump
-# Disassemble, modify and recompile them:
-iasl -d *.dat
-# For example add this statement into a _PRT (PCI Routing Table) function
-# of the DSDT:
-Store("HELLO WORLD", debug)
-# And increase the OEM Revision. For example, before modification:
-DefinitionBlock ("DSDT.aml", "DSDT", 2, "INTEL ", "TEMPLATE", 0x00000000)
-# After modification:
-DefinitionBlock ("DSDT.aml", "DSDT", 2, "INTEL ", "TEMPLATE", 0x00000001)
-iasl -sa dsdt.dsl
-# Add the raw ACPI tables to an uncompressed cpio archive.
-# They must be put into a /kernel/firmware/acpi directory inside the cpio
-# archive. Note that if the table put here matches a platform table
-# (similar Table Signature, and similar OEMID, and similar OEM Table ID)
-# with a more recent OEM Revision, the platform table will be upgraded by
-# this table. If the table put here doesn't match a platform table
-# (dissimilar Table Signature, or dissimilar OEMID, or dissimilar OEM Table
-# ID), this table will be appended.
-mkdir -p kernel/firmware/acpi
-cp dsdt.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
-# A maximum of "NR_ACPI_INITRD_TABLES (64)" tables are currently allowed
-# (see osl.c):
-iasl -sa facp.dsl
-iasl -sa ssdt1.dsl
-cp facp.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
-cp ssdt1.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
-# The uncompressed cpio archive must be the first. Other, typically
-# compressed cpio archives, must be concatenated on top of the uncompressed
-# one. Following command creates the uncompressed cpio archive and
-# concatenates the original initrd on top:
-find kernel | cpio -H newc --create > /boot/instrumented_initrd
-cat /boot/initrd >>/boot/instrumented_initrd
-# reboot with increased acpi debug level, e.g. boot params:
-acpi.debug_level=0x2 acpi.debug_layer=0xFFFFFFFF
-# and check your syslog:
-[ 1.268089] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT]
-[ 1.272091] [ACPI Debug] String [0x0B] "HELLO WORLD"
-
-iasl is able to disassemble and recompile quite a lot different,
-also static ACPI tables.
-
-
-4) Where to retrieve userspace tools
-------------------------------------
-
-iasl and acpixtract are part of Intel's ACPICA project:
-http://acpica.org/
-and should be packaged by distributions (for example in the acpica package
-on SUSE).
-
-acpidump can be found in Len Browns pmtools:
-ftp://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/pmtools/acpidump
-This tool is also part of the acpica package on SUSE.
-Alternatively, used ACPI tables can be retrieved via sysfs in latest kernels:

-Linux ACPI Custom Control Method How To
-=======================================
-
-Written by Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>
-
-
-Linux supports customizing ACPI control methods at runtime.
-
-Users can use this to
-1. override an existing method which may not work correctly,
- or just for debugging purposes.
-2. insert a completely new method in order to create a missing
- method such as _OFF, _ON, _STA, _INI, etc.
-For these cases, it is far simpler to dynamically install a single
-control method rather than override the entire DSDT, because kernel
-rebuild/reboot is not needed and test result can be got in minutes.
-
-Note: Only ACPI METHOD can be overridden, any other object types like
- "Device", "OperationRegion", are not recognized. Methods
- declared inside scope operators are also not supported.
-Note: The same ACPI control method can be overridden for many times,
- and it's always the latest one that used by Linux/kernel.
-Note: To get the ACPI debug object output (Store (AAAA, Debug)),
- please run "echo 1 > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/aml_debug_output".
-
-1. override an existing method
- a) get the ACPI table via ACPI sysfs I/F. e.g. to get the DSDT,
- just run "cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > /tmp/dsdt.dat"
- b) disassemble the table by running "iasl -d dsdt.dat".
- c) rewrite the ASL code of the method and save it in a new file,
- d) package the new file (psr.asl) to an ACPI table format.
- Here is an example of a customized \_SB._AC._PSR method,
-
- DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 1, "", "", 0x20080715)
- {
- Method (\_SB_.AC._PSR, 0, NotSerialized)
- {
- Store ("In AC _PSR", Debug)
- Return (ACON)
- }
- }
- Note that the full pathname of the method in ACPI namespace
- should be used.
- e) assemble the file to generate the AML code of the method.
- e.g. "iasl -vw 6084 psr.asl" (psr.aml is generated as a result)
- If parameter "-vw 6084" is not supported by your iASL compiler,
- please try a newer version.
- f) mount debugfs by "mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug"
- g) override the old method via the debugfs by running
- "cat /tmp/psr.aml > /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method"
-
-2. insert a new method
- This is easier than overriding an existing method.
- We just need to create the ASL code of the method we want to
- insert and then follow the step c) ~ g) in section 1.
-
-3. undo your changes
- The "undo" operation is not supported for a new inserted method
- right now, i.e. we can not remove a method currently.
- For an overridden method, in order to undo your changes, please
- save a copy of the method original ASL code in step c) section 1,
- and redo step c) ~ g) to override the method with the original one.
-
-
-Note: We can use a kernel with multiple custom ACPI method running,
- But each individual write to debugfs can implement a SINGLE
- method override. i.e. if we want to insert/override multiple
- ACPI methods, we need to redo step c) ~ g) for multiple times.
-
-Note: Be aware that root can mis-use this driver to modify arbitrary
- memory and gain additional rights, if root's privileges got
- restricted (for example if root is not allowed to load additional
- modules after boot).

-ACPICA Trace Facility
-
-Copyright (C) 2015, Intel Corporation
-Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com>
-
-
-Abstract:
-
-This document describes the functions and the interfaces of the method
-tracing facility.
-
-1. Functionalities and usage examples:
-
- ACPICA provides method tracing capability. And two functions are
- currently implemented using this capability.
-
- A. Log reducer
- ACPICA subsystem provides debugging outputs when CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is
- enabled. The debugging messages which are deployed via
- ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT() macro can be reduced at 2 levels - per-component
- level (known as debug layer, configured via
- /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer) and per-type level (known as
- debug level, configured via /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level).
-
- But when the particular layer/level is applied to the control method
- evaluations, the quantity of the debugging outputs may still be too
- large to be put into the kernel log buffer. The idea thus is worked out
- to only enable the particular debug layer/level (normally more detailed)
- logs when the control method evaluation is started, and disable the
- detailed logging when the control method evaluation is stopped.
-
- The following command examples illustrate the usage of the "log reducer"
- functionality:
- a. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when control methods
- are being evaluated:
- # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
- # echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer
- # echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level
- # echo "enable" > trace_state
- b. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when the specified
- control method is being evaluated:
- # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
- # echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer
- # echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level
- # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
- # echo "method" > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state
- c. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when the specified
- control method is being evaluated for the first time:
- # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
- # echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer
- # echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level
- # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
- # echo "method-once" > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state
- Where:
- 0xXXXXXXXX/0xYYYYYYYY: Refer to Documentation/acpi/debug.txt for
- possible debug layer/level masking values.
- \PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH: Full path of a control method that can be found
- in the ACPI namespace. It needn't be an entry
- of a control method evaluation.
-
- B. AML tracer
-
- There are special log entries added by the method tracing facility at
- the "trace points" the AML interpreter starts/stops to execute a control

- Developers can utilize these special log entries to track the AML
- interpretion, thus can aid issue debugging and performance tuning. Note
- that, as the "AML tracer" logs are implemented via ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT()
- macro, CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is also required to be enabled for enabling
- "AML tracer" logs.
-
- The following command examples illustrate the usage of the "AML tracer"
- functionality:
- a. Filter out the method start/stop "AML tracer" logs when control
- methods are being evaluated:
- # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
- # echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
- # echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
- # echo "enable" > trace_state
- b. Filter out the method start/stop "AML tracer" when the specified
- control method is being evaluated:
- # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
- # echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
- # echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
- # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
- # echo "method" > trace_state
- c. Filter out the method start/stop "AML tracer" logs when the specified
- control method is being evaluated for the first time:
- # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
- # echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
- # echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
- # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
- # echo "method-once" > trace_state
- d. Filter out the method/opcode start/stop "AML tracer" when the
- specified control method is being evaluated:
- # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
- # echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
- # echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
- # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
- # echo "opcode" > trace_state
- e. Filter out the method/opcode start/stop "AML tracer" when the
- specified control method is being evaluated for the first time:
- # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
- # echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
- # echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
- # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
- # echo "opcode-opcode" > trace_state
-
- Note that all above method tracing facility related module parameters can
- be used as the boot parameters, for example:
- acpi.trace_debug_layer=0x80 acpi.trace_debug_level=0x10 \
- acpi.trace_method_name=\_SB.LID0._LID acpi.trace_state=opcode-once
-
-2. Interface descriptions:
-
- All method tracing functions can be configured via ACPI module
- parameters that are accessible at /sys/module/acpi/parameters/:
-
- trace_method_name
- The full path of the AML method that the user wants to trace.
- Note that the full path shouldn't contain the trailing "_"s in its
- name segments but may contain "\" to form an absolute path.
-
- trace_debug_layer
- The temporary debug_layer used when the tracing feature is enabled.
- Using ACPI_EXECUTER (0x80) by default, which is the debug_layer
- used to match all "AML tracer" logs.
-
- trace_debug_level
- The temporary debug_level used when the tracing feature is enabled.
- Using ACPI_LV_TRACE_POINT (0x10) by default, which is the
- debug_level used to match all "AML tracer" logs.
-
- trace_state
- The status of the tracing feature.
- Users can enable/disable this debug tracing feature by executing
- the following command:
- # echo string > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state
- Where "string" should be one of the following:
- "disable"
- Disable the method tracing feature.
- "enable"
- Enable the method tracing feature.
- ACPICA debugging messages matching
- "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" during any method
- execution will be logged.
- "method"
- Enable the method tracing feature.
- ACPICA debugging messages matching
- "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" during method execution
- of "trace_method_name" will be logged.
- "method-once"
- Enable the method tracing feature.
- ACPICA debugging messages matching
- "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" during method execution
- of "trace_method_name" will be logged only once.
- "opcode"
- Enable the method tracing feature.
- ACPICA debugging messages matching
- "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" during method/opcode
- execution of "trace_method_name" will be logged.
- "opcode-once"
- Enable the method tracing feature.
- ACPICA debugging messages matching
- "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" during method/opcode
- execution of "trace_method_name" will be logged only once.
- Note that, the difference between the "enable" and other feature
- enabling options are:
- 1. When "enable" is specified, since
- "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" shall apply to all control
- method evaluations, after configuring "trace_state" to "enable",
- "trace_method_name" will be reset to NULL.
- 2. When "method/opcode" is specified, if
- "trace_method_name" is NULL when "trace_state" is configured to
- these options, the "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" will
- apply to all control method evaluations.

-In order to support ACPI open-ended hardware configurations (e.g. development
-boards) we need a way to augment the ACPI configuration provided by the firmware
-image. A common example is connecting sensors on I2C / SPI buses on development
-boards.
-
-Although this can be accomplished by creating a kernel platform driver or
-recompiling the firmware image with updated ACPI tables, neither is practical:
-the former proliferates board specific kernel code while the latter requires
-access to firmware tools which are often not publicly available.
-
-Because ACPI supports external references in AML code a more practical
-way to augment firmware ACPI configuration is by dynamically loading
-user defined SSDT tables that contain the board specific information.
-
-For example, to enumerate a Bosch BMA222E accelerometer on the I2C bus of the
-Minnowboard MAX development board exposed via the LSE connector [1], the
-following ASL code can be used:
-
-DefinitionBlock ("minnowmax.aml", "SSDT", 1, "Vendor", "Accel", 0x00000003)
-{
- External (\_SB.I2C6, DeviceObj)
-
- Scope (\_SB.I2C6)
- {
- Device (STAC)
- {
- Name (_ADR, Zero)
- Name (_HID, "BMA222E")
-
- Method (_CRS, 0, Serialized)
- {
- Name (RBUF, ResourceTemplate ()
- {
- I2cSerialBus (0x0018, ControllerInitiated, 0x00061A80,
- AddressingMode7Bit, "\\_SB.I2C6", 0x00,
- ResourceConsumer, ,)
- GpioInt (Edge, ActiveHigh, Exclusive, PullDown, 0x0000,
- "\\_SB.GPO2", 0x00, ResourceConsumer, , )
- { // Pin list
- 0
- }
- })
- Return (RBUF)
- }
- }
- }

-
-The resulting AML code can then be loaded by the kernel using one of the methods
-below.
-
-== Loading ACPI SSDTs from initrd ==
-
-This option allows loading of user defined SSDTs from initrd and it is useful
-when the system does not support EFI or when there is not enough EFI storage.
-
-It works in a similar way with initrd based ACPI tables override/upgrade: SSDT
-aml code must be placed in the first, uncompressed, initrd under the
-"kernel/firmware/acpi" path. Multiple files can be used and this will translate
-in loading multiple tables. Only SSDT and OEM tables are allowed. See
-initrd_table_override.txt for more details.
-
-Here is an example:
-
-# Add the raw ACPI tables to an uncompressed cpio archive.
-# They must be put into a /kernel/firmware/acpi directory inside the
-# cpio archive.
-# The uncompressed cpio archive must be the first.
-# Other, typically compressed cpio archives, must be
-# concatenated on top of the uncompressed one.
-mkdir -p kernel/firmware/acpi
-cp ssdt.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
-
-# Create the uncompressed cpio archive and concatenate the original initrd
-# on top:
-find kernel | cpio -H newc --create > /boot/instrumented_initrd
-cat /boot/initrd >>/boot/instrumented_initrd
-
-== Loading ACPI SSDTs from EFI variables ==
-
-This is the preferred method, when EFI is supported on the platform, because it
-allows a persistent, OS independent way of storing the user defined SSDTs. There
-is also work underway to implement EFI support for loading user defined SSDTs
-and using this method will make it easier to convert to the EFI loading
-mechanism when that will arrive.
-
-In order to load SSDTs from an EFI variable the efivar_ssdt kernel command line
-parameter can be used. The argument for the option is the variable name to
-use. If there are multiple variables with the same name but with different
-vendor GUIDs, all of them will be loaded.
-
-In order to store the AML code in an EFI variable the efivarfs filesystem can be
-used. It is enabled and mounted by default in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars in all
-recent distribution.
-
-Creating a new file in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars will automatically create a new
-EFI variable. Updating a file in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars will update the EFI
-variable. Please note that the file name needs to be specially formatted as
-"Name-GUID" and that the first 4 bytes in the file (little-endian format)
-represent the attributes of the EFI variable (see EFI_VARIABLE_MASK in
-include/linux/efi.h). Writing to the file must also be done with one write
-operation.
-
-For example, you can use the following bash script to create/update an EFI
-variable with the content from a given file:
-
-#!/bin/sh -e
-
-while ! [ -z "$1" ]; do
- case "$1" in
- "-f") filename="$2"; shift;;
- "-g") guid="$2"; shift;;
- *) name="$1";;
- esac
- shift
-done
-
-usage()
-{
- echo "Syntax: ${0##*/} -f filename [ -g guid ] name"
- exit 1
-}
-
-[ -n "$name" -a -f "$filename" ] || usage
-
-EFIVARFS="/sys/firmware/efi/efivars"
-
-[ -d "$EFIVARFS" ] || exit 2
-
-if stat -tf $EFIVARFS | grep -q -v de5e81e4; then
- mount -t efivarfs none $EFIVARFS
-fi
-
-# try to pick up an existing GUID
-[ -n "$guid" ] || guid=$(find "$EFIVARFS" -name "$name-*" | head -n1 | cut -f2- -d-)
-
-# use a randomly generated GUID
-[ -n "$guid" ] || guid="$(cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid)"
-
-# efivarfs expects all of the data in one write
-tmp=$(mktemp)
-/bin/echo -ne "\007\000\000\000" | cat - $filename > $tmp
-dd if=$tmp of="$EFIVARFS/$name-$guid" bs=$(stat -c %s $tmp)
-rm $tmp
-
-== Loading ACPI SSDTs from configfs ==
-
-This option allows loading of user defined SSDTs from userspace via the configfs
-interface. The CONFIG_ACPI_CONFIGFS option must be select and configfs must be
-mounted. In the following examples, we assume that configfs has been mounted in
-/config.
-
-New tables can be loading by creating new directories in /config/acpi/table/ and
-writing the SSDT aml code in the aml attribute:
-
-cd /config/acpi/table
-mkdir my_ssdt
-cat ~/ssdt.aml > my_ssdt/aml

+Upgrading ACPI tables via initrd
+================================
+
+What is this about
+==================
+
+If the ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE compile option is true, it is possible to
+upgrade the ACPI execution environment that is defined by the ACPI tables
+via upgrading the ACPI tables provided by the BIOS with an instrumented,
+modified, more recent version one, or installing brand new ACPI tables.
+
+When building initrd with kernel in a single image, option
+ACPI_TABLE_OVERRIDE_VIA_BUILTIN_INITRD should also be true for this
+feature to work.
+
+For a full list of ACPI tables that can be upgraded/installed, take a look
+at the char `*table_sigs[MAX_ACPI_SIGNATURE];` definition in
+drivers/acpi/tables.c.
+
+All ACPI tables iasl (Intel's ACPI compiler and disassembler) knows should
+be overridable, except:
+
+ - ACPI_SIG_RSDP (has a signature of 6 bytes)
+ - ACPI_SIG_FACS (does not have an ordinary ACPI table header)
+
+Both could get implemented as well.
+
+
+What is this for
+================
+
+Complain to your platform/BIOS vendor if you find a bug which is so severe
+that a workaround is not accepted in the Linux kernel. And this facility
+allows you to upgrade the buggy tables before your platform/BIOS vendor
+releases an upgraded BIOS binary.
+
+This facility can be used by platform/BIOS vendors to provide a Linux
+compatible environment without modifying the underlying platform firmware.
+
+This facility also provides a powerful feature to easily debug and test
+ACPI BIOS table compatibility with the Linux kernel by modifying old
+platform provided ACPI tables or inserting new ACPI tables.
+
+It can and should be enabled in any kernel because there is no functional
+change with not instrumented initrds.
+
+
+How does it work
+================
+::
+
+ # Extract the machine's ACPI tables:
+ cd /tmp
+ acpidump >acpidump
+ acpixtract -a acpidump
+ # Disassemble, modify and recompile them:
+ iasl -d *.dat
+ # For example add this statement into a _PRT (PCI Routing Table) function
+ # of the DSDT:
+ Store("HELLO WORLD", debug)
+ # And increase the OEM Revision. For example, before modification:
+ DefinitionBlock ("DSDT.aml", "DSDT", 2, "INTEL ", "TEMPLATE", 0x00000000)
+ # After modification:
+ DefinitionBlock ("DSDT.aml", "DSDT", 2, "INTEL ", "TEMPLATE", 0x00000001)
+ iasl -sa dsdt.dsl
+ # Add the raw ACPI tables to an uncompressed cpio archive.
+ # They must be put into a /kernel/firmware/acpi directory inside the cpio
+ # archive. Note that if the table put here matches a platform table
+ # (similar Table Signature, and similar OEMID, and similar OEM Table ID)
+ # with a more recent OEM Revision, the platform table will be upgraded by
+ # this table. If the table put here doesn't match a platform table
+ # (dissimilar Table Signature, or dissimilar OEMID, or dissimilar OEM Table
+ # ID), this table will be appended.

+SSDT Overlays
+=============
+
+In order to support ACPI open-ended hardware configurations (e.g. development
+boards) we need a way to augment the ACPI configuration provided by the firmware
+image. A common example is connecting sensors on I2C / SPI buses on development
+boards.
+
+Although this can be accomplished by creating a kernel platform driver or
+recompiling the firmware image with updated ACPI tables, neither is practical:
+the former proliferates board specific kernel code while the latter requires
+access to firmware tools which are often not publicly available.
+
+Because ACPI supports external references in AML code a more practical
+way to augment firmware ACPI configuration is by dynamically loading
+user defined SSDT tables that contain the board specific information.
+
+For example, to enumerate a Bosch BMA222E accelerometer on the I2C bus of the
+Minnowboard MAX development board exposed via the LSE connector [1], the
+following ASL code can be used::
+
+ DefinitionBlock ("minnowmax.aml", "SSDT", 1, "Vendor", "Accel", 0x00000003)
+ {
+ External (\_SB.I2C6, DeviceObj)
+
+ Scope (\_SB.I2C6)
+ {
+ Device (STAC)
+ {
+ Name (_ADR, Zero)
+ Name (_HID, "BMA222E")
+
+ Method (_CRS, 0, Serialized)
+ {
+ Name (RBUF, ResourceTemplate ()
+ {
+ I2cSerialBus (0x0018, ControllerInitiated, 0x00061A80,
+ AddressingMode7Bit, "\\_SB.I2C6", 0x00,
+ ResourceConsumer, ,)
+ GpioInt (Edge, ActiveHigh, Exclusive, PullDown, 0x0000,
+ "\\_SB.GPO2", 0x00, ResourceConsumer, , )
+ { // Pin list
+ 0
+ }
+ })
+ Return (RBUF)
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+which can then be compiled to AML binary format::
+
+ $ iasl minnowmax.asl
+
+ Intel ACPI Component Architecture
+ ASL Optimizing Compiler version 20140214-64 [Mar 29 2014]
+ Copyright (c) 2000 - 2014 Intel Corporation
+
+ ASL Input: minnomax.asl - 30 lines, 614 bytes, 7 keywords
+ AML Output: minnowmax.aml - 165 bytes, 6 named objects, 1 executable opcodes
+
+[1] http://wiki.minnowboard.org/MinnowBoard_MAX#Low_Speed_Expansion_Connector_.28Top.29
+
+The resulting AML code can then be loaded by the kernel using one of the methods
+below.
+
+Loading ACPI SSDTs from initrd
+==============================
+
+This option allows loading of user defined SSDTs from initrd and it is useful
+when the system does not support EFI or when there is not enough EFI storage.
+
+It works in a similar way with initrd based ACPI tables override/upgrade: SSDT
+aml code must be placed in the first, uncompressed, initrd under the
+"kernel/firmware/acpi" path. Multiple files can be used and this will translate
+in loading multiple tables. Only SSDT and OEM tables are allowed. See
+initrd_table_override.txt for more details.
+
+Here is an example::
+
+ # Add the raw ACPI tables to an uncompressed cpio archive.
+ # They must be put into a /kernel/firmware/acpi directory inside the
+ # cpio archive.
+ # The uncompressed cpio archive must be the first.
+ # Other, typically compressed cpio archives, must be
+ # concatenated on top of the uncompressed one.
+ mkdir -p kernel/firmware/acpi
+ cp ssdt.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
+
+ # Create the uncompressed cpio archive and concatenate the original initrd
+ # on top:
+ find kernel | cpio -H newc --create > /boot/instrumented_initrd
+ cat /boot/initrd >>/boot/instrumented_initrd
+
+Loading ACPI SSDTs from EFI variables
+=====================================
+
+This is the preferred method, when EFI is supported on the platform, because it
+allows a persistent, OS independent way of storing the user defined SSDTs. There
+is also work underway to implement EFI support for loading user defined SSDTs
+and using this method will make it easier to convert to the EFI loading
+mechanism when that will arrive.
+
+In order to load SSDTs from an EFI variable the efivar_ssdt kernel command line
+parameter can be used. The argument for the option is the variable name to
+use. If there are multiple variables with the same name but with different
+vendor GUIDs, all of them will be loaded.
+
+In order to store the AML code in an EFI variable the efivarfs filesystem can be
+used. It is enabled and mounted by default in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars in all
+recent distribution.
+
+Creating a new file in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars will automatically create a new
+EFI variable. Updating a file in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars will update the EFI
+variable. Please note that the file name needs to be specially formatted as
+"Name-GUID" and that the first 4 bytes in the file (little-endian format)
+represent the attributes of the EFI variable (see EFI_VARIABLE_MASK in
+include/linux/efi.h). Writing to the file must also be done with one write
+operation.
+
+For example, you can use the following bash script to create/update an EFI
+variable with the content from a given file::
+
+ #!/bin/sh -e
+
+ while ! [ -z "$1" ]; do
+ case "$1" in
+ "-f") filename="$2"; shift;;
+ "-g") guid="$2"; shift;;
+ *) name="$1";;
+ esac
+ shift
+ done
+
+ usage()
+ {
+ echo "Syntax: ${0##*/} -f filename [ -g guid ] name"
+ exit 1
+ }
+
+ [ -n "$name" -a -f "$filename" ] || usage
+
+ EFIVARFS="/sys/firmware/efi/efivars"
+
+ [ -d "$EFIVARFS" ] || exit 2
+
+ if stat -tf $EFIVARFS | grep -q -v de5e81e4; then
+ mount -t efivarfs none $EFIVARFS
+ fi
+
+ # try to pick up an existing GUID
+ [ -n "$guid" ] || guid=$(find "$EFIVARFS" -name "$name-*" | head -n1 | cut -f2- -d-)
+
+ # use a randomly generated GUID
+ [ -n "$guid" ] || guid="$(cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid)"
+
+ # efivarfs expects all of the data in one write
+ tmp=$(mktemp)
+ /bin/echo -ne "\007\000\000\000" | cat - $filename > $tmp
+ dd if=$tmp of="$EFIVARFS/$name-$guid" bs=$(stat -c %s $tmp)
+ rm $tmp
+
+Loading ACPI SSDTs from configfs
+================================
+
+This option allows loading of user defined SSDTs from userspace via the configfs
+interface. The CONFIG_ACPI_CONFIGFS option must be select and configfs must be
+mounted. In the following examples, we assume that configfs has been mounted in
+/config.
+
+New tables can be loading by creating new directories in /config/acpi/table/ and
+writing the SSDT aml code in the aml attribute::
+
+ cd /config/acpi/table
+ mkdir my_ssdt
+ cat ~/ssdt.aml > my_ssdt/aml

+case-insensitive file name lookups
+======================================================
+
+The case-insensitive file name lookup feature is supported on a
+per-directory basis, allowing the user to mix case-insensitive and
+case-sensitive directories in the same filesystem. It is enabled by
+flipping the +F inode attribute of an empty directory. The
+case-insensitive string match operation is only defined when we know how
+text in encoded in a byte sequence. For that reason, in order to enable
+case-insensitive directories, the filesystem must have the
+casefold feature, which stores the filesystem-wide encoding
+model used. By default, the charset adopted is the latest version of
+Unicode (12.1.0, by the time of this writing), encoded in the UTF-8
+form. The comparison algorithm is implemented by normalizing the
+strings to the Canonical decomposition form, as defined by Unicode,
+followed by a byte per byte comparison.
+
+The case-awareness is name-preserving on the disk, meaning that the file
+name provided by userspace is a byte-per-byte match to what is actually
+written in the disk. The Unicode normalization format used by the
+kernel is thus an internal representation, and not exposed to the
+userspace nor to the disk, with the important exception of disk hashes,
+used on large case-insensitive directories with DX feature. On DX
+directories, the hash must be calculated using the casefolded version of
+the filename, meaning that the normalization format used actually has an
+impact on where the directory entry is stored.
+
+When we change from viewing filenames as opaque byte sequences to seeing
+them as encoded strings we need to address what happens when a program
+tries to create a file with an invalid name. The Unicode subsystem
+within the kernel leaves the decision of what to do in this case to the
+filesystem, which select its preferred behavior by enabling/disabling
+the strict mode. When Ext4 encounters one of those strings and the
+filesystem did not require strict mode, it falls back to considering the
+entire string as an opaque byte sequence, which still allows the user to
+operate on that file, but the case-insensitive lookups won't work.

+MDS - Microarchitectural Data Sampling
+======================================
+
+Microarchitectural Data Sampling is a hardware vulnerability which allows
+unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in various CPU
+internal buffers.
+
+Affected processors
+-------------------
+
+This vulnerability affects a wide range of Intel processors. The
+vulnerability is not present on:
+
+ - Processors from AMD, Centaur and other non Intel vendors
+
+ - Older processor models, where the CPU family is < 6
+
+ - Some Atoms (Bonnell, Saltwell, Goldmont, GoldmontPlus)
+
+ - Intel processors which have the ARCH_CAP_MDS_NO bit set in the
+ IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR.
+
+Whether a processor is affected or not can be read out from the MDS
+vulnerability file in sysfs. See :ref:`mds_sys_info`.
+
+Not all processors are affected by all variants of MDS, but the mitigation
+is identical for all of them so the kernel treats them as a single
+vulnerability.
+
+Related CVEs
+------------
+
+The following CVE entries are related to the MDS vulnerability:
+
+ ============== ===== ===================================================
+ CVE-2018-12126 MSBDS Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling
+ CVE-2018-12130 MFBDS Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling
+ CVE-2018-12127 MLPDS Microarchitectural Load Port Data Sampling
+ CVE-2019-11091 MDSUM Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory
+ ============== ===== ===================================================
+
+Problem
+-------
+
+When performing store, load, L1 refill operations, processors write data
+into temporary microarchitectural structures (buffers). The data in the
+buffer can be forwarded to load operations as an optimization.
+
+Under certain conditions, usually a fault/assist caused by a load
+operation, data unrelated to the load memory address can be speculatively
+forwarded from the buffers. Because the load operation causes a fault or
+assist and its result will be discarded, the forwarded data will not cause
+incorrect program execution or state changes. But a malicious operation
+may be able to forward this speculative data to a disclosure gadget which
+allows in turn to infer the value via a cache side channel attack.
+
+Because the buffers are potentially shared between Hyper-Threads cross
+Hyper-Thread attacks are possible.
+
+Deeper technical information is available in the MDS specific x86
+architecture section: :ref:`Documentation/x86/mds.rst <mds>`.
+
+
+Attack scenarios
+----------------
+
+Attacks against the MDS vulnerabilities can be mounted from malicious non
+priviledged user space applications running on hosts or guest. Malicious
+guest OSes can obviously mount attacks as well.
+
+Contrary to other speculation based vulnerabilities the MDS vulnerability
+does not allow the attacker to control the memory target address. As a
+consequence the attacks are purely sampling based, but as demonstrated with
+the TLBleed attack samples can be postprocessed successfully.
+
+Web-Browsers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ It's unclear whether attacks through Web-Browsers are possible at
+ all. The exploitation through Java-Script is considered very unlikely,
+ but other widely used web technologies like Webassembly could possibly be
+ abused.
+
+
+.. _mds_sys_info:
+
+MDS system information
+-----------------------
+
+The Linux kernel provides a sysfs interface to enumerate the current MDS
+status of the system: whether the system is vulnerable, and which
+mitigations are active. The relevant sysfs file is:
+
+/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/mds
+
+The possible values in this file are:
+
+ .. list-table::
+
+ * - 'Not affected'
+ - The processor is not vulnerable
+ * - 'Vulnerable'
+ - The processor is vulnerable, but no mitigation enabled
+ * - 'Vulnerable: Clear CPU buffers attempted, no microcode'
+ - The processor is vulnerable but microcode is not updated.
+
+ The mitigation is enabled on a best effort basis. See :ref:`vmwerv`
+ * - 'Mitigation: Clear CPU buffers'
+ - The processor is vulnerable and the CPU buffer clearing mitigation is
+ enabled.
+
+If the processor is vulnerable then the following information is appended
+to the above information:
+
+ ======================== ============================================
+ 'SMT vulnerable' SMT is enabled
+ 'SMT mitigated' SMT is enabled and mitigated
+ 'SMT disabled' SMT is disabled
+ 'SMT Host state unknown' Kernel runs in a VM, Host SMT state unknown
+ ======================== ============================================
+
+.. _vmwerv:
+
+Best effort mitigation mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ If the processor is vulnerable, but the availability of the microcode based
+ mitigation mechanism is not advertised via CPUID the kernel selects a best
+ effort mitigation mode. This mode invokes the mitigation instructions
+ without a guarantee that they clear the CPU buffers.
+
+ This is done to address virtualization scenarios where the host has the
+ microcode update applied, but the hypervisor is not yet updated to expose
+ the CPUID to the guest. If the host has updated microcode the protection
+ takes effect otherwise a few cpu cycles are wasted pointlessly.
+
+ The state in the mds sysfs file reflects this situation accordingly.
+
+
+Mitigation mechanism
+-------------------------
+
+The kernel detects the affected CPUs and the presence of the microcode
+which is required.
+
+If a CPU is affected and the microcode is available, then the kernel
+enables the mitigation by default. The mitigation can be controlled at boot
+time via a kernel command line option. See
+:ref:`mds_mitigation_control_command_line`.
+
+.. _cpu_buffer_clear:
+
+CPU buffer clearing
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ The mitigation for MDS clears the affected CPU buffers on return to user
+ space and when entering a guest.
+
+ If SMT is enabled it also clears the buffers on idle entry when the CPU
+ is only affected by MSBDS and not any other MDS variant, because the
+ other variants cannot be protected against cross Hyper-Thread attacks.
+
+ For CPUs which are only affected by MSBDS the user space, guest and idle
+ transition mitigations are sufficient and SMT is not affected.
+
+.. _virt_mechanism:
+
+Virtualization mitigation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ The protection for host to guest transition depends on the L1TF
+ vulnerability of the CPU:
+
+ - CPU is affected by L1TF:
+
+ If the L1D flush mitigation is enabled and up to date microcode is
+ available, the L1D flush mitigation is automatically protecting the
+ guest transition.
+
+ If the L1D flush mitigation is disabled then the MDS mitigation is
+ invoked explicit when the host MDS mitigation is enabled.
+
+ For details on L1TF and virtualization see:
+ :ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln//l1tf.rst <mitigation_control_kvm>`.
+
+ - CPU is not affected by L1TF:
+
+ CPU buffers are flushed before entering the guest when the host MDS
+ mitigation is enabled.
+
+ The resulting MDS protection matrix for the host to guest transition:
+
+ ============ ===== ============= ============ =================
+ L1TF MDS VMX-L1FLUSH Host MDS MDS-State
+
+ Don't care No Don't care N/A Not affected
+
+ Yes Yes Disabled Off Vulnerable
+
+ Yes Yes Disabled Full Mitigated
+
+ Yes Yes Enabled Don't care Mitigated
+
+ No Yes N/A Off Vulnerable
+
+ No Yes N/A Full Mitigated
+ ============ ===== ============= ============ =================
+
+ This only covers the host to guest transition, i.e. prevents leakage from
+ host to guest, but does not protect the guest internally. Guests need to
+ have their own protections.
+
+.. _xeon_phi:
+
+XEON PHI specific considerations
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ The XEON PHI processor family is affected by MSBDS which can be exploited
+ cross Hyper-Threads when entering idle states. Some XEON PHI variants allow
+ to use MWAIT in user space (Ring 3) which opens an potential attack vector
+ for malicious user space. The exposure can be disabled on the kernel
+ command line with the 'ring3mwait=disable' command line option.
+
+ XEON PHI is not affected by the other MDS variants and MSBDS is mitigated
+ before the CPU enters a idle state. As XEON PHI is not affected by L1TF
+ either disabling SMT is not required for full protection.
+
+.. _mds_smt_control:
+
+SMT control
+^^^^^^^^^^^

+
+Mitigation selection guide
+--------------------------
+
+1. Trusted userspace
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ If all userspace applications are from a trusted source and do not
+ execute untrusted code which is supplied externally, then the mitigation
+ can be disabled.
+
+
+2. Virtualization with trusted guests
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ The same considerations as above versus trusted user space apply.
+
+3. Virtualization with untrusted guests
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ The protection depends on the state of the L1TF mitigations.
+ See :ref:`virt_mechanism`.
+
+ If the MDS mitigation is enabled and SMT is disabled, guest to host and
+ guest to guest attacks are prevented.
+
+.. _mds_default_mitigations:
+
+Default mitigations
+-------------------
+
+ The kernel default mitigations for vulnerable processors are:
+
+ - Enable CPU buffer clearing
+
+ The kernel does not by default enforce the disabling of SMT, which leaves
+ SMT systems vulnerable when running untrusted code. The same rationale as
+ for L1TF applies.
+ See :ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln//l1tf.rst <default_mitigations>`.

+
+Spectre Side Channels
+=====================
+
+Spectre is a class of side channel attacks that exploit branch prediction
+and speculative execution on modern CPUs to read memory, possibly
+bypassing access controls. Speculative execution side channel exploits
+do not modify memory but attempt to infer privileged data in the memory.
+
+This document covers Spectre variant 1 and Spectre variant 2.
+
+Affected processors
+-------------------
+
+Speculative execution side channel methods affect a wide range of modern
+high performance processors, since most modern high speed processors
+use branch prediction and speculative execution.
+
+The following CPUs are vulnerable:
+
+ - Intel Core, Atom, Pentium, and Xeon processors
+
+ - AMD Phenom, EPYC, and Zen processors
+
+ - IBM POWER and zSeries processors
+
+ - Higher end ARM processors
+
+ - Apple CPUs
+
+ - Higher end MIPS CPUs
+
+ - Likely most other high performance CPUs. Contact your CPU vendor for details.
+
+Whether a processor is affected or not can be read out from the Spectre
+vulnerability files in sysfs. See :ref:`spectre_sys_info`.
+
+Related CVEs
+------------
+
+The following CVE entries describe Spectre variants:
+
+ ============= ======================= =================
+ CVE-2017-5753 Bounds check bypass Spectre variant 1
+ CVE-2017-5715 Branch target injection Spectre variant 2
+ ============= ======================= =================
+
+Problem
+-------
+
+CPUs use speculative operations to improve performance. That may leave
+traces of memory accesses or computations in the processor's caches,
+buffers, and branch predictors. Malicious software may be able to
+influence the speculative execution paths, and then use the side effects
+of the speculative execution in the CPUs' caches and buffers to infer
+privileged data touched during the speculative execution.
+
+Spectre variant 1 attacks take advantage of speculative execution of
+conditional branches, while Spectre variant 2 attacks use speculative
+execution of indirect branches to leak privileged memory.
+See :ref:`[1] <spec_ref1>` :ref:`[5] <spec_ref5>` :ref:`[7] <spec_ref7>`
+:ref:`[10] <spec_ref10>` :ref:`[11] <spec_ref11>`.
+
+Spectre variant 1 (Bounds Check Bypass)
+---------------------------------------
+
+The bounds check bypass attack :ref:`[2] <spec_ref2>` takes advantage
+of speculative execution that bypasses conditional branch instructions
+used for memory access bounds check (e.g. checking if the index of an
+array results in memory access within a valid range). This results in
+memory accesses to invalid memory (with out-of-bound index) that are
+done speculatively before validation checks resolve. Such speculative
+memory accesses can leave side effects, creating side channels which
+leak information to the attacker.
+
+There are some extensions of Spectre variant 1 attacks for reading data
+over the network, see :ref:`[12] <spec_ref12>`. However such attacks
+are difficult, low bandwidth, fragile, and are considered low risk.
+
+Spectre variant 2 (Branch Target Injection)
+-------------------------------------------
+
+The branch target injection attack takes advantage of speculative
+execution of indirect branches :ref:`[3] <spec_ref3>`. The indirect
+branch predictors inside the processor used to guess the target of
+indirect branches can be influenced by an attacker, causing gadget code
+to be speculatively executed, thus exposing sensitive data touched by
+the victim. The side effects left in the CPU's caches during speculative
+execution can be measured to infer data values.
+
+.. _poison_btb:
+
+In Spectre variant 2 attacks, the attacker can steer speculative indirect
+branches in the victim to gadget code by poisoning the branch target
+buffer of a CPU used for predicting indirect branch addresses. Such
+poisoning could be done by indirect branching into existing code,
+with the address offset of the indirect branch under the attacker's
+control. Since the branch prediction on impacted hardware does not
+fully disambiguate branch address and uses the offset for prediction,
+this could cause privileged code's indirect branch to jump to a gadget
+code with the same offset.
+
+The most useful gadgets take an attacker-controlled input parameter (such
+as a register value) so that the memory read can be controlled. Gadgets
+without input parameters might be possible, but the attacker would have
+very little control over what memory can be read, reducing the risk of
+the attack revealing useful data.
+
+One other variant 2 attack vector is for the attacker to poison the
+return stack buffer (RSB) :ref:`[13] <spec_ref13>` to cause speculative
+subroutine return instruction execution to go to a gadget. An attacker's
+imbalanced subroutine call instructions might "poison" entries in the
+return stack buffer which are later consumed by a victim's subroutine
+return instructions. This attack can be mitigated by flushing the return
+stack buffer on context switch, or virtual machine (VM) exit.
+
+On systems with simultaneous multi-threading (SMT), attacks are possible
+from the sibling thread, as level 1 cache and branch target buffer
+(BTB) may be shared between hardware threads in a CPU core. A malicious
+program running on the sibling thread may influence its peer's BTB to
+steer its indirect branch speculations to gadget code, and measure the
+speculative execution's side effects left in level 1 cache to infer the
+victim's data.
+
+Attack scenarios
+----------------
+
+The following list of attack scenarios have been anticipated, but may
+not cover all possible attack vectors.
+
+1. A user process attacking the kernel
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ The attacker passes a parameter to the kernel via a register or
+ via a known address in memory during a syscall. Such parameter may
+ be used later by the kernel as an index to an array or to derive
+ a pointer for a Spectre variant 1 attack. The index or pointer
+ is invalid, but bound checks are bypassed in the code branch taken
+ for speculative execution. This could cause privileged memory to be
+ accessed and leaked.
+
+ For kernel code that has been identified where data pointers could
+ potentially be influenced for Spectre attacks, new "nospec" accessor
+ macros are used to prevent speculative loading of data.
+
+ Spectre variant 2 attacker can :ref:`poison <poison_btb>` the branch
+ target buffer (BTB) before issuing syscall to launch an attack.
+ After entering the kernel, the kernel could use the poisoned branch
+ target buffer on indirect jump and jump to gadget code in speculative
+ execution.
+
+ If an attacker tries to control the memory addresses leaked during
+ speculative execution, he would also need to pass a parameter to the
+ gadget, either through a register or a known address in memory. After
+ the gadget has executed, he can measure the side effect.
+
+ The kernel can protect itself against consuming poisoned branch
+ target buffer entries by using return trampolines (also known as
+ "retpoline") :ref:`[3] <spec_ref3>` :ref:`[9] <spec_ref9>` for all
+ indirect branches. Return trampolines trap speculative execution paths
+ to prevent jumping to gadget code during speculative execution.
+ x86 CPUs with Enhanced Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation
+ (Enhanced IBRS) available in hardware should use the feature to
+ mitigate Spectre variant 2 instead of retpoline. Enhanced IBRS is
+ more efficient than retpoline.
+
+ There may be gadget code in firmware which could be exploited with
+ Spectre variant 2 attack by a rogue user process. To mitigate such
+ attacks on x86, Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation (IBRS) feature
+ is turned on before the kernel invokes any firmware code.
+
+2. A user process attacking another user process
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ A malicious user process can try to attack another user process,
+ either via a context switch on the same hardware thread, or from the
+ sibling hyperthread sharing a physical processor core on simultaneous
+ multi-threading (SMT) system.
+
+ Spectre variant 1 attacks generally require passing parameters
+ between the processes, which needs a data passing relationship, such
+ as remote procedure calls (RPC). Those parameters are used in gadget
+ code to derive invalid data pointers accessing privileged memory in
+ the attacked process.
+
+ Spectre variant 2 attacks can be launched from a rogue process by
+ :ref:`poisoning <poison_btb>` the branch target buffer. This can
+ influence the indirect branch targets for a victim process that either
+ runs later on the same hardware thread, or running concurrently on
+ a sibling hardware thread sharing the same physical core.
+
+ A user process can protect itself against Spectre variant 2 attacks
+ by using the prctl() syscall to disable indirect branch speculation
+ for itself. An administrator can also cordon off an unsafe process
+ from polluting the branch target buffer by disabling the process's
+ indirect branch speculation. This comes with a performance cost
+ from not using indirect branch speculation and clearing the branch
+ target buffer. When SMT is enabled on x86, for a process that has
+ indirect branch speculation disabled, Single Threaded Indirect Branch
+ Predictors (STIBP) :ref:`[4] <spec_ref4>` are turned on to prevent the
+ sibling thread from controlling branch target buffer. In addition,
+ the Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB) is issued to clear the
+ branch target buffer when context switching to and from such process.
+
+ On x86, the return stack buffer is stuffed on context switch.
+ This prevents the branch target buffer from being used for branch
+ prediction when the return stack buffer underflows while switching to
+ a deeper call stack. Any poisoned entries in the return stack buffer
+ left by the previous process will also be cleared.
+
+ User programs should use address space randomization to make attacks
+ more difficult (Set /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space = 1 or 2).
+
+3. A virtualized guest attacking the host
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ The attack mechanism is similar to how user processes attack the
+ kernel. The kernel is entered via hyper-calls or other virtualization
+ exit paths.
+
+ For Spectre variant 1 attacks, rogue guests can pass parameters
+ (e.g. in registers) via hyper-calls to derive invalid pointers to
+ speculate into privileged memory after entering the kernel. For places
+ where such kernel code has been identified, nospec accessor macros
+ are used to stop speculative memory access.
+
+ For Spectre variant 2 attacks, rogue guests can :ref:`poison
+ <poison_btb>` the branch target buffer or return stack buffer, causing
+ the kernel to jump to gadget code in the speculative execution paths.
+
+ To mitigate variant 2, the host kernel can use return trampolines
+ for indirect branches to bypass the poisoned branch target buffer,
+ and flushing the return stack buffer on VM exit. This prevents rogue
+ guests from affecting indirect branching in the host kernel.
+
+ To protect host processes from rogue guests, host processes can have
+ indirect branch speculation disabled via prctl(). The branch target
+ buffer is cleared before context switching to such processes.
+
+4. A virtualized guest attacking other guest
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ A rogue guest may attack another guest to get data accessible by the
+ other guest.
+
+ Spectre variant 1 attacks are possible if parameters can be passed
+ between guests. This may be done via mechanisms such as shared memory
+ or message passing. Such parameters could be used to derive data
+ pointers to privileged data in guest. The privileged data could be
+ accessed by gadget code in the victim's speculation paths.
+
+ Spectre variant 2 attacks can be launched from a rogue guest by
+ :ref:`poisoning <poison_btb>` the branch target buffer or the return
+ stack buffer. Such poisoned entries could be used to influence
+ speculation execution paths in the victim guest.
+
+ Linux kernel mitigates attacks to other guests running in the same
+ CPU hardware thread by flushing the return stack buffer on VM exit,
+ and clearing the branch target buffer before switching to a new guest.
+
+ If SMT is used, Spectre variant 2 attacks from an untrusted guest
+ in the sibling hyperthread can be mitigated by the administrator,
+ by turning off the unsafe guest's indirect branch speculation via
+ prctl(). A guest can also protect itself by turning on microcode
+ based mitigations (such as IBPB or STIBP on x86) within the guest.
+
+.. _spectre_sys_info:
+
+Spectre system information
+--------------------------
+
+The Linux kernel provides a sysfs interface to enumerate the current
+mitigation status of the system for Spectre: whether the system is
+vulnerable, and which mitigations are active.
+
+The sysfs file showing Spectre variant 1 mitigation status is:
+
+ /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v1
+
+The possible values in this file are:
+
+ ======================================= =================================
+ 'Mitigation: __user pointer sanitation' Protection in kernel on a case by

+ sanitation.
+ ======================================= =================================
+
+However, the protections are put in place on a case by case basis,
+and there is no guarantee that all possible attack vectors for Spectre
+variant 1 are covered.
+
+The spectre_v2 kernel file reports if the kernel has been compiled with
+retpoline mitigation or if the CPU has hardware mitigation, and if the
+CPU has support for additional process-specific mitigation.
+
+This file also reports CPU features enabled by microcode to mitigate
+attack between user processes:
+
+1. Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB) to add additional
+ isolation between processes of different users.
+2. Single Thread Indirect Branch Predictors (STIBP) to add additional
+ isolation between CPU threads running on the same core.
+
+These CPU features may impact performance when used and can be enabled
+per process on a case-by-case base.
+
+The sysfs file showing Spectre variant 2 mitigation status is:

+
+Full mitigation might require a microcode update from the CPU
+vendor. When the necessary microcode is not available, the kernel will
+report vulnerability.
+
+Turning on mitigation for Spectre variant 1 and Spectre variant 2
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1. Kernel mitigation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ For the Spectre variant 1, vulnerable kernel code (as determined
+ by code audit or scanning tools) is annotated on a case by case
+ basis to use nospec accessor macros for bounds clipping :ref:`[2]
+ <spec_ref2>` to avoid any usable disclosure gadgets. However, it may
+ not cover all attack vectors for Spectre variant 1.
+
+ For Spectre variant 2 mitigation, the compiler turns indirect calls or
+ jumps in the kernel into equivalent return trampolines (retpolines)
+ :ref:`[3] <spec_ref3>` :ref:`[9] <spec_ref9>` to go to the target
+ addresses. Speculative execution paths under retpolines are trapped
+ in an infinite loop to prevent any speculative execution jumping to
+ a gadget.
+
+ To turn on retpoline mitigation on a vulnerable CPU, the kernel
+ needs to be compiled with a gcc compiler that supports the
+ -mindirect-branch=thunk-extern -mindirect-branch-register options.
+ If the kernel is compiled with a Clang compiler, the compiler needs
+ to support -mretpoline-external-thunk option. The kernel config
+ CONFIG_RETPOLINE needs to be turned on, and the CPU needs to run with
+ the latest updated microcode.
+
+ On Intel Skylake-era systems the mitigation covers most, but not all,
+ cases. See :ref:`[3] <spec_ref3>` for more details.
+
+ On CPUs with hardware mitigation for Spectre variant 2 (e.g. Enhanced
+ IBRS on x86), retpoline is automatically disabled at run time.
+
+ The retpoline mitigation is turned on by default on vulnerable
+ CPUs. It can be forced on or off by the administrator
+ via the kernel command line and sysfs control files. See
+ :ref:`spectre_mitigation_control_command_line`.
+
+ On x86, indirect branch restricted speculation is turned on by default
+ before invoking any firmware code to prevent Spectre variant 2 exploits
+ using the firmware.
+
+ Using kernel address space randomization (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_SLAB=y
+ and CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM=y in the kernel configuration) makes
+ attacks on the kernel generally more difficult.
+
+2. User program mitigation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ User programs can mitigate Spectre variant 1 using LFENCE or "bounds
+ clipping". For more details see :ref:`[2] <spec_ref2>`.
+
+ For Spectre variant 2 mitigation, individual user programs
+ can be compiled with return trampolines for indirect branches.
+ This protects them from consuming poisoned entries in the branch
+ target buffer left by malicious software. Alternatively, the
+ programs can disable their indirect branch speculation via prctl()
+ (See :ref:`Documentation/userspace-api/spec_ctrl.rst <set_spec_ctrl>`).
+ On x86, this will turn on STIBP to guard against attacks from the
+ sibling thread when the user program is running, and use IBPB to
+ flush the branch target buffer when switching to/from the program.
+
+ Restricting indirect branch speculation on a user program will
+ also prevent the program from launching a variant 2 attack
+ on x86. All sand-boxed SECCOMP programs have indirect branch
+ speculation restricted by default. Administrators can change
+ that behavior via the kernel command line and sysfs control files.
+ See :ref:`spectre_mitigation_control_command_line`.
+
+ Programs that disable their indirect branch speculation will have
+ more overhead and run slower.
+
+ User programs should use address space randomization
+ (/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space = 1 or 2) to make attacks more
+ difficult.
+
+3. VM mitigation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ Within the kernel, Spectre variant 1 attacks from rogue guests are
+ mitigated on a case by case basis in VM exit paths. Vulnerable code
+ uses nospec accessor macros for "bounds clipping", to avoid any
+ usable disclosure gadgets. However, this may not cover all variant
+ 1 attack vectors.
+
+ For Spectre variant 2 attacks from rogue guests to the kernel, the
+ Linux kernel uses retpoline or Enhanced IBRS to prevent consumption of
+ poisoned entries in branch target buffer left by rogue guests. It also
+ flushes the return stack buffer on every VM exit to prevent a return
+ stack buffer underflow so poisoned branch target buffer could be used,
+ or attacker guests leaving poisoned entries in the return stack buffer.
+
+ To mitigate guest-to-guest attacks in the same CPU hardware thread,
+ the branch target buffer is sanitized by flushing before switching
+ to a new guest on a CPU.
+
+ The above mitigations are turned on by default on vulnerable CPUs.
+
+ To mitigate guest-to-guest attacks from sibling thread when SMT is
+ in use, an untrusted guest running in the sibling thread can have
+ its indirect branch speculation disabled by administrator via prctl().
+
+ The kernel also allows guests to use any microcode based mitigation
+ they choose to use (such as IBPB or STIBP on x86) to protect themselves.
+
+.. _spectre_mitigation_control_command_line:
+
+Mitigation control on the kernel command line

+ Selecting 'on' will, and 'auto' may, choose a

+ CONFIG_RETPOLINE configuration option, and the
+ compiler with which the kernel was built.
+
+ Selecting 'on' will also enable the mitigation
+ against user space to user space task attacks.
+
+ Selecting 'off' will disable both the kernel and
+ the user space protections.
+
+ Specific mitigations can also be selected manually:

+
+For user space mitigation:

+ cannot be disabled.
+
+Mitigation selection guide
+--------------------------
+
+1. Trusted userspace
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ If all userspace applications are from trusted sources and do not
+ execute externally supplied untrusted code, then the mitigations can
+ be disabled.
+
+2. Protect sensitive programs
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ For security-sensitive programs that have secrets (e.g. crypto
+ keys), protection against Spectre variant 2 can be put in place by
+ disabling indirect branch speculation when the program is running
+ (See :ref:`Documentation/userspace-api/spec_ctrl.rst <set_spec_ctrl>`).
+
+3. Sandbox untrusted programs
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ Untrusted programs that could be a source of attacks can be cordoned
+ off by disabling their indirect branch speculation when they are run
+ (See :ref:`Documentation/userspace-api/spec_ctrl.rst <set_spec_ctrl>`).
+ This prevents untrusted programs from polluting the branch target
+ buffer. All programs running in SECCOMP sandboxes have indirect
+ branch speculation restricted by default. This behavior can be
+ changed via the kernel command line and sysfs control files. See
+ :ref:`spectre_mitigation_control_command_line`.
+
+3. High security mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ All Spectre variant 2 mitigations can be forced on
+ at boot time for all programs (See the "on" option in
+ :ref:`spectre_mitigation_control_command_line`). This will add
+ overhead as indirect branch speculations for all programs will be
+ restricted.
+
+ On x86, branch target buffer will be flushed with IBPB when switching
+ to a new program. STIBP is left on all the time to protect programs
+ against variant 2 attacks originating from programs running on
+ sibling threads.
+
+ Alternatively, STIBP can be used only when running programs
+ whose indirect branch speculation is explicitly disabled,
+ while IBPB is still used all the time when switching to a new
+ program to clear the branch target buffer (See "ibpb" option in
+ :ref:`spectre_mitigation_control_command_line`). This "ibpb" option
+ has less performance cost than the "on" option, which leaves STIBP
+ on all the time.

+NUMA Locality
+=============
+
+Some platforms may have multiple types of memory attached to a compute
+node. These disparate memory ranges may share some characteristics, such
+as CPU cache coherence, but may have different performance. For example,
+different media types and buses affect bandwidth and latency.
+
+A system supports such heterogeneous memory by grouping each memory type
+under different domains, or "nodes", based on locality and performance
+characteristics. Some memory may share the same node as a CPU, and others
+are provided as memory only nodes. While memory only nodes do not provide
+CPUs, they may still be local to one or more compute nodes relative to
+other nodes. The following diagram shows one such example of two compute
+nodes with local memory and a memory only node for each of compute node::
+
+ +------------------+ +------------------+
+ | Compute Node 0 +-----+ Compute Node 1 |
+ | Local Node0 Mem | | Local Node1 Mem |
+ +--------+---------+ +--------+---------+
+ | |
+ +--------+---------+ +--------+---------+
+ | Slower Node2 Mem | | Slower Node3 Mem |
+ +------------------+ +--------+---------+
+
+A "memory initiator" is a node containing one or more devices such as
+CPUs or separate memory I/O devices that can initiate memory requests.
+A "memory target" is a node containing one or more physical address
+ranges accessible from one or more memory initiators.
+
+When multiple memory initiators exist, they may not all have the same
+performance when accessing a given memory target. Each initiator-target
+pair may be organized into different ranked access classes to represent
+this relationship. The highest performing initiator to a given target
+is considered to be one of that target's local initiators, and given
+the highest access class, 0. Any given target may have one or more
+local initiators, and any given initiator may have multiple local
+memory targets.
+
+To aid applications matching memory targets with their initiators, the
+kernel provides symlinks to each other. The following example lists the
+relationship for the access class "0" memory initiators and targets::
+
+ # symlinks -v /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/access0/targets/
+ relative: /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/access0/targets/nodeY -> ../../nodeY
+
+ # symlinks -v /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/access0/initiators/
+ relative: /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/access0/initiators/nodeX -> ../../nodeX
+
+A memory initiator may have multiple memory targets in the same access
+class. The target memory's initiators in a given class indicate the
+nodes' access characteristics share the same performance relative to other
+linked initiator nodes. Each target within an initiator's access class,
+though, do not necessarily perform the same as each other.
+
+================
+NUMA Performance
+================
+
+Applications may wish to consider which node they want their memory to
+be allocated from based on the node's performance characteristics. If
+the system provides these attributes, the kernel exports them under the
+node sysfs hierarchy by appending the attributes directory under the
+memory node's access class 0 initiators as follows::
+
+ /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/access0/initiators/
+
+These attributes apply only when accessed from nodes that have the
+are linked under the this access's inititiators.
+
+The performance characteristics the kernel provides for the local initiators
+are exported are as follows::
+
+ # tree -P "read*|write*" /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/access0/initiators/
+ /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/access0/initiators/
+ |-- read_bandwidth
+ |-- read_latency
+ |-- write_bandwidth
+ `-- write_latency
+
+The bandwidth attributes are provided in MiB/second.
+
+The latency attributes are provided in nanoseconds.
+
+The values reported here correspond to the rated latency and bandwidth
+for the platform.
+
+==========
+NUMA Cache
+==========
+
+System memory may be constructed in a hierarchy of elements with various
+performance characteristics in order to provide large address space of
+slower performing memory cached by a smaller higher performing memory. The
+system physical addresses memory initiators are aware of are provided
+by the last memory level in the hierarchy. The system meanwhile uses
+higher performing memory to transparently cache access to progressively
+slower levels.
+
+The term "far memory" is used to denote the last level memory in the
+hierarchy. Each increasing cache level provides higher performing
+initiator access, and the term "near memory" represents the fastest
+cache provided by the system.
+
+This numbering is different than CPU caches where the cache level (ex:
+L1, L2, L3) uses the CPU-side view where each increased level is lower
+performing. In contrast, the memory cache level is centric to the last
+level memory, so the higher numbered cache level corresponds to memory
+nearer to the CPU, and further from far memory.
+
+The memory-side caches are not directly addressable by software. When
+software accesses a system address, the system will return it from the
+near memory cache if it is present. If it is not present, the system
+accesses the next level of memory until there is either a hit in that
+cache level, or it reaches far memory.
+
+An application does not need to know about caching attributes in order
+to use the system. Software may optionally query the memory cache
+attributes in order to maximize the performance out of such a setup.
+If the system provides a way for the kernel to discover this information,
+for example with ACPI HMAT (Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table),
+the kernel will append these attributes to the NUMA node memory target.
+
+When the kernel first registers a memory cache with a node, the kernel
+will create the following directory::
+
+ /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memory_side_cache/
+
+If that directory is not present, the system either does not not provide
+a memory-side cache, or that information is not accessible to the kernel.
+
+The attributes for each level of cache is provided under its cache
+level index::
+
+ /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memory_side_cache/indexA/
+ /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memory_side_cache/indexB/
+ /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memory_side_cache/indexC/
+
+Each cache level's directory provides its attributes. For example, the
+following shows a single cache level and the attributes available for
+software to query::
+
+ # tree sys/devices/system/node/node0/memory_side_cache/
+ /sys/devices/system/node/node0/memory_side_cache/
+ |-- index1
+ | |-- indexing
+ | |-- line_size
+ | |-- size
+ | `-- write_policy
+
+The "indexing" will be 0 if it is a direct-mapped cache, and non-zero
+for any other indexed based, multi-way associativity.
+
+The "line_size" is the number of bytes accessed from the next cache
+level on a miss.
+
+The "size" is the number of bytes provided by this cache level.
+
+The "write_policy" will be 0 for write-back, and non-zero for
+write-through caching.

+Intel Performance and Energy Bias Attribute in ``sysfs``
+========================================================
+
+The Intel Performance and Energy Bias Hint (EPB) value for a given (logical) CPU
+can be checked or updated through a ``sysfs`` attribute (file) under
+:file:`/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu<N>/power/`, where the CPU number ``<N>``
+is allocated at the system initialization time:
+
+``energy_perf_bias``
+ Shows the current EPB value for the CPU in a sliding scale 0 - 15, where
+ a value of 0 corresponds to a hint preference for highest performance
+ and a value of 15 corresponds to the maximum energy savings.
+
+ In order to update the EPB value for the CPU, this attribute can be
+ written to, either with a number in the 0 - 15 sliding scale above, or
+ with one of the strings: "performance", "balance-performance", "normal",
+ "balance-power", "power" that represent values reflected by their
+ meaning.
+
+ This attribute is present for all online CPUs supporting the EPB
+ feature.
+
+Note that while the EPB interface to the processor is defined at the logical CPU
+level, the physical register backing it may be shared by multiple CPUs (for
+example, SMT siblings or cores in one package). For this reason, updating the
+EPB value for one CPU may cause the EPB values for other CPUs to change.

+Perf Event Attributes
+=====================
+
+Author: Andrew Murray <andrew.murray@arm.com>
+Date: 2019-03-06
+
+exclude_user
+------------
+
+This attribute excludes userspace.
+
+Userspace always runs at EL0 and thus this attribute will exclude EL0.
+
+
+exclude_kernel
+--------------
+
+This attribute excludes the kernel.
+
+The kernel runs at EL2 with VHE and EL1 without. Guest kernels always run
+at EL1.
+
+For the host this attribute will exclude EL1 and additionally EL2 on a VHE
+system.
+
+For the guest this attribute will exclude EL1. Please note that EL2 is
+never counted within a guest.
+
+
+exclude_hv
+----------
+
+This attribute excludes the hypervisor.
+
+For a VHE host this attribute is ignored as we consider the host kernel to
+be the hypervisor.
+
+For a non-VHE host this attribute will exclude EL2 as we consider the
+hypervisor to be any code that runs at EL2 which is predominantly used for
+guest/host transitions.
+
+For the guest this attribute has no effect. Please note that EL2 is
+never counted within a guest.
+
+
+exclude_host / exclude_guest
+----------------------------
+
+These attributes exclude the KVM host and guest, respectively.
+
+The KVM host may run at EL0 (userspace), EL1 (non-VHE kernel) and EL2 (VHE
+kernel or non-VHE hypervisor).
+
+The KVM guest may run at EL0 (userspace) and EL1 (kernel).
+
+Due to the overlapping exception levels between host and guests we cannot
+exclusively rely on the PMU's hardware exception filtering - therefore we
+must enable/disable counting on the entry and exit to the guest. This is
+performed differently on VHE and non-VHE systems.
+
+For non-VHE systems we exclude EL2 for exclude_host - upon entering and
+exiting the guest we disable/enable the event as appropriate based on the
+exclude_host and exclude_guest attributes.
+
+For VHE systems we exclude EL1 for exclude_guest and exclude both EL0,EL2
+for exclude_host. Upon entering and exiting the guest we modify the event
+to include/exclude EL0 as appropriate based on the exclude_host and
+exclude_guest attributes.
+
+The statements above also apply when these attributes are used within a
+non-VHE guest however please note that EL2 is never counted within a guest.
+
+
+Accuracy
+--------
+
+On non-VHE hosts we enable/disable counters on the entry/exit of host/guest
+transition at EL2 - however there is a period of time between
+enabling/disabling the counters and entering/exiting the guest. We are
+able to eliminate counters counting host events on the boundaries of guest
+entry/exit when counting guest events by filtering out EL2 for
+exclude_host. However when using !exclude_hv there is a small blackout
+window at the guest entry/exit where host events are not captured.
+
+On VHE systems there are no blackout windows.

+Silicon Errata and Software Workarounds
+=======================================
+
+Author: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
+
+Date : 27 November 2015
+
+It is an unfortunate fact of life that hardware is often produced with
+so-called "errata", which can cause it to deviate from the architecture
+under specific circumstances. For hardware produced by ARM, these
+errata are broadly classified into the following categories:
+
+ ========== ========================================================
+ Category A A critical error without a viable workaround.
+ Category B A significant or critical error with an acceptable
+ workaround.
+ Category C A minor error that is not expected to occur under normal
+ operation.
+ ========== ========================================================
+
+For more information, consult one of the "Software Developers Errata
+Notice" documents available on infocenter.arm.com (registration
+required).
+
+As far as Linux is concerned, Category B errata may require some special
+treatment in the operating system. For example, avoiding a particular
+sequence of code, or configuring the processor in a particular way. A
+less common situation may require similar actions in order to declassify
+a Category A erratum into a Category C erratum. These are collectively
+known as "software workarounds" and are only required in the minority of
+cases (e.g. those cases that both require a non-secure workaround *and*
+can be triggered by Linux).
+
+For software workarounds that may adversely impact systems unaffected by
+the erratum in question, a Kconfig entry is added under "Kernel
+Features" -> "ARM errata workarounds via the alternatives framework".
+These are enabled by default and patched in at runtime when an affected
+CPU is detected. For less-intrusive workarounds, a Kconfig option is not
+available and the code is structured (preferably with a comment) in such
+a way that the erratum will not be hit.
+
+This approach can make it slightly onerous to determine exactly which
+errata are worked around in an arbitrary kernel source tree, so this
+file acts as a registry of software workarounds in the Linux Kernel and
+will be updated when new workarounds are committed and backported to
+stable kernels.

+
+Q: What are the verifier limits?
+--------------------------------
+A: The only limit known to the user space is BPF_MAXINSNS (4096).
+It's the maximum number of instructions that the unprivileged bpf
+program can have. The verifier has various internal limits.
+Like the maximum number of instructions that can be explored during
+program analysis. Currently, that limit is set to 1 million.
+Which essentially means that the largest program can consist
+of 1 million NOP instructions. There is a limit to the maximum number
+of subsequent branches, a limit to the number of nested bpf-to-bpf
+calls, a limit to the number of the verifier states per instruction,
+a limit to the number of maps used by the program.
+All these limits can be hit with a sufficiently complex program.
+There are also non-numerical limits that can cause the program
+to be rejected. The verifier used to recognize only pointer + constant
+expressions. Now it can recognize pointer + bounded_register.
+bpf_lookup_map_elem(key) had a requirement that 'key' must be
+a pointer to the stack. Now, 'key' can be a pointer to map value.
+The verifier is steadily getting 'smarter'. The limits are
+being removed. The only way to know that the program is going to
+be accepted by the verifier is to try to load it.
+The bpf development process guarantees that the future kernel
+versions will accept all bpf programs that were accepted by
+the earlier versions.

Instruction level questions

@@ -147,11 +172,31 @@ registers which makes BPF inefficient virtual machine for 32-bit
CPU architectures and 32-bit HW accelerators. Can true 32-bit registers
be added to BPF in the future?
-A: NO. The first thing to improve performance on 32-bit archs is to teach
-LLVM to generate code that uses 32-bit subregisters. Then second step
-is to teach verifier to mark operations where zero-ing upper bits
-is unnecessary. Then JITs can take advantage of those markings and
-drastically reduce size of generated code and improve performance.
+A: NO.
+
+But some optimizations on zero-ing the upper 32 bits for BPF registers are
+available, and can be leveraged to improve the performance of JITed BPF
+programs for 32-bit architectures.
+
+Starting with version 7, LLVM is able to generate instructions that operate
+on 32-bit subregisters, provided the option -mattr=+alu32 is passed for
+compiling a program. Furthermore, the verifier can now mark the
+instructions for which zero-ing the upper bits of the destination register
+is required, and insert an explicit zero-extension (zext) instruction
+(a mov32 variant). This means that for architectures without zext hardware
+support, the JIT back-ends do not need to clear the upper bits for
+subregisters written by alu32 instructions or narrow loads. Instead, the
+back-ends simply need to support code generation for that mov32 variant,
+and to overwrite bpf_jit_needs_zext() to make it return "true" (in order to
+enable zext insertion in the verifier).
+
+Note that it is possible for a JIT back-end to have partial hardware
+support for zext. In that case, if verifier zext insertion is enabled,
+it could lead to the insertion of unnecessary zext instructions. Such
+instructions could be removed by creating a simple peephole inside the JIT
+back-end: if one instruction has hardware support for zext and if the next
+instruction is an explicit zext, then the latter can be skipped when doing
+the code generation.

+============================
+BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCKOPT
+============================
+
+``BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCKOPT`` program type can be attached to two
+cgroup hooks:
+
+* ``BPF_CGROUP_GETSOCKOPT`` - called every time process executes ``getsockopt``
+ system call.
+* ``BPF_CGROUP_SETSOCKOPT`` - called every time process executes ``setsockopt``
+ system call.
+
+The context (``struct bpf_sockopt``) has associated socket (``sk``) and
+all input arguments: ``level``, ``optname``, ``optval`` and ``optlen``.
+
+BPF_CGROUP_SETSOCKOPT
+=====================
+
+``BPF_CGROUP_SETSOCKOPT`` is triggered *before* the kernel handling of
+sockopt and it has writable context: it can modify the supplied arguments
+before passing them down to the kernel. This hook has access to the cgroup
+and socket local storage.
+
+If BPF program sets ``optlen`` to -1, the control will be returned
+back to the userspace after all other BPF programs in the cgroup
+chain finish (i.e. kernel ``setsockopt`` handling will *not* be executed).
+
+Note, that ``optlen`` can not be increased beyond the user-supplied
+value. It can only be decreased or set to -1. Any other value will
+trigger ``EFAULT``.
+
+Return Type
+-----------
+
+* ``0`` - reject the syscall, ``EPERM`` will be returned to the userspace.
+* ``1`` - success, continue with next BPF program in the cgroup chain.
+
+BPF_CGROUP_GETSOCKOPT
+=====================
+
+``BPF_CGROUP_GETSOCKOPT`` is triggered *after* the kernel handing of
+sockopt. The BPF hook can observe ``optval``, ``optlen`` and ``retval``
+if it's interested in whatever kernel has returned. BPF hook can override
+the values above, adjust ``optlen`` and reset ``retval`` to 0. If ``optlen``
+has been increased above initial ``getsockopt`` value (i.e. userspace
+buffer is too small), ``EFAULT`` is returned.
+
+This hook has access to the cgroup and socket local storage.
+
+Note, that the only acceptable value to set to ``retval`` is 0 and the
+original value that the kernel returned. Any other value will trigger
+``EFAULT``.
+
+Return Type
+-----------
+
+* ``0`` - reject the syscall, ``EPERM`` will be returned to the userspace.
+* ``1`` - success: copy ``optval`` and ``optlen`` to userspace, return
+ ``retval`` from the syscall (note that this can be overwritten by
+ the BPF program from the parent cgroup).
+
+Cgroup Inheritance
+==================
+
+Suppose, there is the following cgroup hierarchy where each cgroup
+has ``BPF_CGROUP_GETSOCKOPT`` attached at each level with
+``BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI`` flag::
+
+ A (root, parent)
+ \
+ B (child)
+
+When the application calls ``getsockopt`` syscall from the cgroup B,
+the programs are executed from the bottom up: B, A. First program
+(B) sees the result of kernel's ``getsockopt``. It can optionally
+adjust ``optval``, ``optlen`` and reset ``retval`` to 0. After that
+control will be passed to the second (A) program which will see the
+same context as B including any potential modifications.
+
+Same for ``BPF_CGROUP_SETSOCKOPT``: if the program is attached to
+A and B, the trigger order is B, then A. If B does any changes
+to the input arguments (``level``, ``optname``, ``optval``, ``optlen``),
+then the next program in the chain (A) will see those changes,
+*not* the original input ``setsockopt`` arguments. The potentially
+modified values will be then passed down to the kernel.
+
+Example
+=======
+
+See ``tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/sockopt_sk.c`` for an example
+of BPF program that handles socket options.

+BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL
+===========================
+
+This document describes ``BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL`` program type that
+provides cgroup-bpf hook for sysctl.
+
+The hook has to be attached to a cgroup and will be called every time a
+process inside that cgroup tries to read from or write to sysctl knob in proc.
+
+1. Attach type
+**************
+
+``BPF_CGROUP_SYSCTL`` attach type has to be used to attach
+``BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL`` program to a cgroup.
+
+2. Context
+**********
+
+``BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL`` provides access to the following context from
+BPF program::
+
+ struct bpf_sysctl {
+ __u32 write;
+ __u32 file_pos;
+ };
+
+* ``write`` indicates whether sysctl value is being read (``0``) or written
+ (``1``). This field is read-only.
+
+* ``file_pos`` indicates file position sysctl is being accessed at, read
+ or written. This field is read-write. Writing to the field sets the starting
+ position in sysctl proc file ``read(2)`` will be reading from or ``write(2)``
+ will be writing to. Writing zero to the field can be used e.g. to override
+ whole sysctl value by ``bpf_sysctl_set_new_value()`` on ``write(2)`` even
+ when it's called by user space on ``file_pos > 0``. Writing non-zero
+ value to the field can be used to access part of sysctl value starting from
+ specified ``file_pos``. Not all sysctl support access with ``file_pos !=
+ 0``, e.g. writes to numeric sysctl entries must always be at file position
+ ``0``. See also ``kernel.sysctl_writes_strict`` sysctl.
+
+See `linux/bpf.h`_ for more details on how context field can be accessed.
+
+3. Return code
+**************
+
+``BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL`` program must return one of the following
+return codes:
+
+* ``0`` means "reject access to sysctl";
+* ``1`` means "proceed with access".
+
+If program returns ``0`` user space will get ``-1`` from ``read(2)`` or
+``write(2)`` and ``errno`` will be set to ``EPERM``.
+
+4. Helpers
+**********
+
+Since sysctl knob is represented by a name and a value, sysctl specific BPF
+helpers focus on providing access to these properties:
+
+* ``bpf_sysctl_get_name()`` to get sysctl name as it is visible in
+ ``/proc/sys`` into provided by BPF program buffer;
+
+* ``bpf_sysctl_get_current_value()`` to get string value currently held by
+ sysctl into provided by BPF program buffer. This helper is available on both
+ ``read(2)`` from and ``write(2)`` to sysctl;
+
+* ``bpf_sysctl_get_new_value()`` to get new string value currently being
+ written to sysctl before actual write happens. This helper can be used only
+ on ``ctx->write == 1``;
+
+* ``bpf_sysctl_set_new_value()`` to override new string value currently being
+ written to sysctl before actual write happens. Sysctl value will be
+ overridden starting from the current ``ctx->file_pos``. If the whole value
+ has to be overridden BPF program can set ``file_pos`` to zero before calling
+ to the helper. This helper can be used only on ``ctx->write == 1``. New
+ string value set by the helper is treated and verified by kernel same way as
+ an equivalent string passed by user space.
+
+BPF program sees sysctl value same way as user space does in proc filesystem,
+i.e. as a string. Since many sysctl values represent an integer or a vector
+of integers, the following helpers can be used to get numeric value from the
+string:
+
+* ``bpf_strtol()`` to convert initial part of the string to long integer
+ similar to user space `strtol(3)`_;
+* ``bpf_strtoul()`` to convert initial part of the string to unsigned long
+ integer similar to user space `strtoul(3)`_;
+
+See `linux/bpf.h`_ for more details on helpers described here.
+
+5. Examples
+***********
+
+See `test_sysctl_prog.c`_ for an example of BPF program in C that access
+sysctl name and value, parses string value to get vector of integers and uses
+the result to make decision whether to allow or deny access to sysctl.
+
+6. Notes
+********
+
+``BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL`` is intended to be used in **trusted** root
+environment, for example to monitor sysctl usage or catch unreasonable values
+an application, running as root in a separate cgroup, is trying to set.
+
+Since `task_dfl_cgroup(current)` is called at `sys_read` / `sys_write` time it
+may return results different from that at `sys_open` time, i.e. process that
+opened sysctl file in proc filesystem may differ from process that is trying
+to read from / write to it and two such processes may run in different
+cgroups, what means ``BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL`` should not be used as a
+security mechanism to limit sysctl usage.
+
+As with any cgroup-bpf program additional care should be taken if an
+application running as root in a cgroup should not be allowed to
+detach/replace BPF program attached by administrator.

+Introduction
+============
+
+Linux is probably the Unix-like operating system that supports
+the widest variety of hardware devices. The reasons for this are
+presumably
+
+- The large list of hardware devices available for the many platforms
+ that Linux now supports (i.e., i386-PCs, Sparc Suns, etc.)
+- The open design of the operating system, such that anybody can write a
+ driver for Linux.
+- There is plenty of source code around as examples of how to write a driver.
+
+The openness of Linux, and the many different types of available
+hardware has allowed Linux to support many different hardware devices.
+Unfortunately, the very openness that has allowed Linux to support
+all these different devices has also allowed the behavior of each
+device driver to differ significantly from one device to another.
+This divergence of behavior has been very significant for CD-ROM
+devices; the way a particular drive reacts to a `standard` *ioctl()*
+call varies greatly from one device driver to another. To avoid making
+their drivers totally inconsistent, the writers of Linux CD-ROM
+drivers generally created new device drivers by understanding, copying,
+and then changing an existing one. Unfortunately, this practice did not
+maintain uniform behavior across all the Linux CD-ROM drivers.
+
+This document describes an effort to establish Uniform behavior across
+all the different CD-ROM device drivers for Linux. This document also
+defines the various *ioctl()'s*, and how the low-level CD-ROM device
+drivers should implement them. Currently (as of the Linux 2.1.\ *x*
+development kernels) several low-level CD-ROM device drivers, including
+both IDE/ATAPI and SCSI, now use this Uniform interface.
+
+When the CD-ROM was developed, the interface between the CD-ROM drive
+and the computer was not specified in the standards. As a result, many
+different CD-ROM interfaces were developed. Some of them had their
+own proprietary design (Sony, Mitsumi, Panasonic, Philips), other
+manufacturers adopted an existing electrical interface and changed
+the functionality (CreativeLabs/SoundBlaster, Teac, Funai) or simply
+adapted their drives to one or more of the already existing electrical
+interfaces (Aztech, Sanyo, Funai, Vertos, Longshine, Optics Storage and
+most of the `NoName` manufacturers). In cases where a new drive really
+brought its own interface or used its own command set and flow control
+scheme, either a separate driver had to be written, or an existing
+driver had to be enhanced. History has delivered us CD-ROM support for
+many of these different interfaces. Nowadays, almost all new CD-ROM
+drives are either IDE/ATAPI or SCSI, and it is very unlikely that any
+manufacturer will create a new interface. Even finding drives for the
+old proprietary interfaces is getting difficult.
+
+When (in the 1.3.70's) I looked at the existing software interface,
+which was expressed through `cdrom.h`, it appeared to be a rather wild
+set of commands and data formats [#f1]_. It seemed that many
+features of the software interface had been added to accommodate the
+capabilities of a particular drive, in an *ad hoc* manner. More
+importantly, it appeared that the behavior of the `standard` commands
+was different for most of the different drivers: e. g., some drivers
+close the tray if an *open()* call occurs when the tray is open, while
+others do not. Some drivers lock the door upon opening the device, to
+prevent an incoherent file system, but others don't, to allow software
+ejection. Undoubtedly, the capabilities of the different drives vary,
+but even when two drives have the same capability their drivers'
+behavior was usually different.
+
+.. [#f1]
+ I cannot recollect what kernel version I looked at, then,
+ presumably 1.2.13 and 1.3.34 --- the latest kernel that I was
+ indirectly involved in.
+
+I decided to start a discussion on how to make all the Linux CD-ROM
+drivers behave more uniformly. I began by contacting the developers of
+the many CD-ROM drivers found in the Linux kernel. Their reactions
+encouraged me to write the Uniform CD-ROM Driver which this document is
+intended to describe. The implementation of the Uniform CD-ROM Driver is
+in the file `cdrom.c`. This driver is intended to be an additional software
+layer that sits on top of the low-level device drivers for each CD-ROM drive.
+By adding this additional layer, it is possible to have all the different
+CD-ROM devices behave **exactly** the same (insofar as the underlying
+hardware will allow).
+
+The goal of the Uniform CD-ROM Driver is **not** to alienate driver developers
+whohave not yet taken steps to support this effort. The goal of Uniform CD-ROM
+Driver is simply to give people writing application programs for CD-ROM drives
+**one** Linux CD-ROM interface with consistent behavior for all
+CD-ROM devices. In addition, this also provides a consistent interface
+between the low-level device driver code and the Linux kernel. Care
+is taken that 100% compatibility exists with the data structures and
+programmer's interface defined in `cdrom.h`. This guide was written to
+help CD-ROM driver developers adapt their code to use the Uniform CD-ROM
+Driver code defined in `cdrom.c`.
+
+Personally, I think that the most important hardware interfaces are
+the IDE/ATAPI drives and, of course, the SCSI drives, but as prices
+of hardware drop continuously, it is also likely that people may have
+more than one CD-ROM drive, possibly of mixed types. It is important
+that these drives behave in the same way. In December 1994, one of the
+cheapest CD-ROM drives was a Philips cm206, a double-speed proprietary
+drive. In the months that I was busy writing a Linux driver for it,
+proprietary drives became obsolete and IDE/ATAPI drives became the
+standard. At the time of the last update to this document (November
+1997) it is becoming difficult to even **find** anything less than a
+16 speed CD-ROM drive, and 24 speed drives are common.
+
+.. _cdrom_api:
+
+Standardizing through another software level
+============================================
+
+At the time this document was conceived, all drivers directly
+implemented the CD-ROM *ioctl()* calls through their own routines. This
+led to the danger of different drivers forgetting to do important things
+like checking that the user was giving the driver valid data. More
+importantly, this led to the divergence of behavior, which has already
+been discussed.
+
+For this reason, the Uniform CD-ROM Driver was created to enforce consistent
+CD-ROM drive behavior, and to provide a common set of services to the various
+low-level CD-ROM device drivers. The Uniform CD-ROM Driver now provides another
+software-level, that separates the *ioctl()* and *open()* implementation
+from the actual hardware implementation. Note that this effort has
+made few changes which will affect a user's application programs. The
+greatest change involved moving the contents of the various low-level
+CD-ROM drivers\' header files to the kernel's cdrom directory. This was
+done to help ensure that the user is only presented with only one cdrom
+interface, the interface defined in `cdrom.h`.
+
+CD-ROM drives are specific enough (i. e., different from other
+block-devices such as floppy or hard disc drives), to define a set
+of common **CD-ROM device operations**, *<cdrom-device>_dops*.
+These operations are different from the classical block-device file
+operations, *<block-device>_fops*.
+
+The routines for the Uniform CD-ROM Driver interface level are implemented
+in the file `cdrom.c`. In this file, the Uniform CD-ROM Driver interfaces
+with the kernel as a block device by registering the following general
+*struct file_operations*::
+
+ struct file_operations cdrom_fops = {
+ NULL, /∗ lseek ∗/
+ block _read , /∗ read—general block-dev read ∗/
+ block _write, /∗ write—general block-dev write ∗/
+ NULL, /∗ readdir ∗/
+ NULL, /∗ select ∗/
+ cdrom_ioctl, /∗ ioctl ∗/
+ NULL, /∗ mmap ∗/
+ cdrom_open, /∗ open ∗/
+ cdrom_release, /∗ release ∗/
+ NULL, /∗ fsync ∗/
+ NULL, /∗ fasync ∗/
+ cdrom_media_changed, /∗ media change ∗/
+ NULL /∗ revalidate ∗/
+ };
+
+Every active CD-ROM device shares this *struct*. The routines
+declared above are all implemented in `cdrom.c`, since this file is the
+place where the behavior of all CD-ROM-devices is defined and
+standardized. The actual interface to the various types of CD-ROM
+hardware is still performed by various low-level CD-ROM-device
+drivers. These routines simply implement certain **capabilities**
+that are common to all CD-ROM (and really, all removable-media
+devices).
+
+Registration of a low-level CD-ROM device driver is now done through
+the general routines in `cdrom.c`, not through the Virtual File System
+(VFS) any more. The interface implemented in `cdrom.c` is carried out
+through two general structures that contain information about the
+capabilities of the driver, and the specific drives on which the
+driver operates. The structures are:
+
+cdrom_device_ops
+ This structure contains information about the low-level driver for a
+ CD-ROM device. This structure is conceptually connected to the major
+ number of the device (although some drivers may have different
+ major numbers, as is the case for the IDE driver).
+
+cdrom_device_info
+ This structure contains information about a particular CD-ROM drive,
+ such as its device name, speed, etc. This structure is conceptually
+ connected to the minor number of the device.
+
+Registering a particular CD-ROM drive with the Uniform CD-ROM Driver
+is done by the low-level device driver though a call to::
+
+ register_cdrom(struct cdrom_device_info * <device>_info)
+
+The device information structure, *<device>_info*, contains all the
+information needed for the kernel to interface with the low-level
+CD-ROM device driver. One of the most important entries in this
+structure is a pointer to the *cdrom_device_ops* structure of the
+low-level driver.
+
+The device operations structure, *cdrom_device_ops*, contains a list
+of pointers to the functions which are implemented in the low-level
+device driver. When `cdrom.c` accesses a CD-ROM device, it does it
+through the functions in this structure. It is impossible to know all
+the capabilities of future CD-ROM drives, so it is expected that this
+list may need to be expanded from time to time as new technologies are
+developed. For example, CD-R and CD-R/W drives are beginning to become
+popular, and support will soon need to be added for them. For now, the
+current *struct* is::
+
+ struct cdrom_device_ops {
+ int (*open)(struct cdrom_device_info *, int)
+ void (*release)(struct cdrom_device_info *);
+ int (*drive_status)(struct cdrom_device_info *, int);
+ unsigned int (*check_events)(struct cdrom_device_info *,
+ unsigned int, int);
+ int (*media_changed)(struct cdrom_device_info *, int);
+ int (*tray_move)(struct cdrom_device_info *, int);
+ int (*lock_door)(struct cdrom_device_info *, int);
+ int (*select_speed)(struct cdrom_device_info *, int);
+ int (*select_disc)(struct cdrom_device_info *, int);
+ int (*get_last_session) (struct cdrom_device_info *,
+ struct cdrom_multisession *);
+ int (*get_mcn)(struct cdrom_device_info *, struct cdrom_mcn *);
+ int (*reset)(struct cdrom_device_info *);
+ int (*audio_ioctl)(struct cdrom_device_info *,
+ unsigned int, void *);
+ const int capability; /* capability flags */
+ int (*generic_packet)(struct cdrom_device_info *,
+ struct packet_command *);
+ };
+
+When a low-level device driver implements one of these capabilities,
+it should add a function pointer to this *struct*. When a particular
+function is not implemented, however, this *struct* should contain a
+NULL instead. The *capability* flags specify the capabilities of the
+CD-ROM hardware and/or low-level CD-ROM driver when a CD-ROM drive
+is registered with the Uniform CD-ROM Driver.
+
+Note that most functions have fewer parameters than their
+*blkdev_fops* counterparts. This is because very little of the
+information in the structures *inode* and *file* is used. For most
+drivers, the main parameter is the *struct* *cdrom_device_info*, from
+which the major and minor number can be extracted. (Most low-level
+CD-ROM drivers don't even look at the major and minor number though,
+since many of them only support one device.) This will be available
+through *dev* in *cdrom_device_info* described below.
+
+The drive-specific, minor-like information that is registered with
+`cdrom.c`, currently contains the following fields::
+
+ struct cdrom_device_info {
+ const struct cdrom_device_ops * ops; /* device operations for this major */
+ struct list_head list; /* linked list of all device_info */
+ struct gendisk * disk; /* matching block layer disk */
+ void * handle; /* driver-dependent data */
+
+ int mask; /* mask of capability: disables them */
+ int speed; /* maximum speed for reading data */
+ int capacity; /* number of discs in a jukebox */
+
+ unsigned int options:30; /* options flags */
+ unsigned mc_flags:2; /* media-change buffer flags */
+ unsigned int vfs_events; /* cached events for vfs path */
+ unsigned int ioctl_events; /* cached events for ioctl path */
+ int use_count; /* number of times device is opened */
+ char name[20]; /* name of the device type */
+
+ __u8 sanyo_slot : 2; /* Sanyo 3-CD changer support */
+ __u8 keeplocked : 1; /* CDROM_LOCKDOOR status */
+ __u8 reserved : 5; /* not used yet */
+ int cdda_method; /* see CDDA_* flags */
+ __u8 last_sense; /* saves last sense key */
+ __u8 media_written; /* dirty flag, DVD+RW bookkeeping */
+ unsigned short mmc3_profile; /* current MMC3 profile */
+ int for_data; /* unknown:TBD */
+ int (*exit)(struct cdrom_device_info *);/* unknown:TBD */
+ int mrw_mode_page; /* which MRW mode page is in use */
+ };
+
+Using this *struct*, a linked list of the registered minor devices is
+built, using the *next* field. The device number, the device operations
+struct and specifications of properties of the drive are stored in this
+structure.
+
+The *mask* flags can be used to mask out some of the capabilities listed
+in *ops->capability*, if a specific drive doesn't support a feature
+of the driver. The value *speed* specifies the maximum head-rate of the
+drive, measured in units of normal audio speed (176kB/sec raw data or
+150kB/sec file system data). The parameters are declared *const*
+because they describe properties of the drive, which don't change after
+registration.
+
+A few registers contain variables local to the CD-ROM drive. The
+flags *options* are used to specify how the general CD-ROM routines
+should behave. These various flags registers should provide enough
+flexibility to adapt to the different users' wishes (and **not** the
+`arbitrary` wishes of the author of the low-level device driver, as is
+the case in the old scheme). The register *mc_flags* is used to buffer
+the information from *media_changed()* to two separate queues. Other
+data that is specific to a minor drive, can be accessed through *handle*,
+which can point to a data structure specific to the low-level driver.
+The fields *use_count*, *next*, *options* and *mc_flags* need not be
+initialized.
+
+The intermediate software layer that `cdrom.c` forms will perform some
+additional bookkeeping. The use count of the device (the number of
+processes that have the device opened) is registered in *use_count*. The
+function *cdrom_ioctl()* will verify the appropriate user-memory regions
+for read and write, and in case a location on the CD is transferred,
+it will `sanitize` the format by making requests to the low-level
+drivers in a standard format, and translating all formats between the
+user-software and low level drivers. This relieves much of the drivers'
+memory checking and format checking and translation. Also, the necessary
+structures will be declared on the program stack.
+
+The implementation of the functions should be as defined in the
+following sections. Two functions **must** be implemented, namely
+*open()* and *release()*. Other functions may be omitted, their
+corresponding capability flags will be cleared upon registration.
+Generally, a function returns zero on success and negative on error. A
+function call should return only after the command has completed, but of
+course waiting for the device should not use processor time.
+
+::
+
+ int open(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, int purpose)
+
+*Open()* should try to open the device for a specific *purpose*, which
+can be either:
+
+- Open for reading data, as done by `mount()` (2), or the
+ user commands `dd` or `cat`.
+- Open for *ioctl* commands, as done by audio-CD playing programs.
+
+Notice that any strategic code (closing tray upon *open()*, etc.) is
+done by the calling routine in `cdrom.c`, so the low-level routine
+should only be concerned with proper initialization, such as spinning
+up the disc, etc.
+
+::
+
+ void release(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi)
+
+Device-specific actions should be taken such as spinning down the device.
+However, strategic actions such as ejection of the tray, or unlocking
+the door, should be left over to the general routine *cdrom_release()*.
+This is the only function returning type *void*.
+
+.. _cdrom_drive_status:
+
+::
+
+ int drive_status(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, int slot_nr)
+
+The function *drive_status*, if implemented, should provide
+information on the status of the drive (not the status of the disc,
+which may or may not be in the drive). If the drive is not a changer,
+*slot_nr* should be ignored. In `cdrom.h` the possibilities are listed::
+
+
+ CDS_NO_INFO /* no information available */
+ CDS_NO_DISC /* no disc is inserted, tray is closed */
+ CDS_TRAY_OPEN /* tray is opened */
+ CDS_DRIVE_NOT_READY /* something is wrong, tray is moving? */
+ CDS_DISC_OK /* a disc is loaded and everything is fine */
+
+::
+
+ int media_changed(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, int disc_nr)
+
+This function is very similar to the original function in $struct
+file_operations*. It returns 1 if the medium of the device *cdi->dev*
+has changed since the last call, and 0 otherwise. The parameter
+*disc_nr* identifies a specific slot in a juke-box, it should be
+ignored for single-disc drives. Note that by `re-routing` this
+function through *cdrom_media_changed()*, we can implement separate
+queues for the VFS and a new *ioctl()* function that can report device
+changes to software (e. g., an auto-mounting daemon).
+
+::
+
+ int tray_move(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, int position)
+
+This function, if implemented, should control the tray movement. (No
+other function should control this.) The parameter *position* controls
+the desired direction of movement:
+
+- 0 Close tray
+- 1 Open tray
+
+This function returns 0 upon success, and a non-zero value upon
+error. Note that if the tray is already in the desired position, no
+action need be taken, and the return value should be 0.
+
+::
+
+ int lock_door(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, int lock)
+
+This function (and no other code) controls locking of the door, if the
+drive allows this. The value of *lock* controls the desired locking
+state:
+
+- 0 Unlock door, manual opening is allowed
+- 1 Lock door, tray cannot be ejected manually
+
+This function returns 0 upon success, and a non-zero value upon
+error. Note that if the door is already in the requested state, no
+action need be taken, and the return value should be 0.
+
+::
+
+ int select_speed(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, int speed)
+
+Some CD-ROM drives are capable of changing their head-speed. There
+are several reasons for changing the speed of a CD-ROM drive. Badly
+pressed CD-ROM s may benefit from less-than-maximum head rate. Modern
+CD-ROM drives can obtain very high head rates (up to *24x* is
+common). It has been reported that these drives can make reading
+errors at these high speeds, reducing the speed can prevent data loss
+in these circumstances. Finally, some of these drives can
+make an annoyingly loud noise, which a lower speed may reduce.
+
+This function specifies the speed at which data is read or audio is
+played back. The value of *speed* specifies the head-speed of the
+drive, measured in units of standard cdrom speed (176kB/sec raw data
+or 150kB/sec file system data). So to request that a CD-ROM drive
+operate at 300kB/sec you would call the CDROM_SELECT_SPEED *ioctl*
+with *speed=2*. The special value `0` means `auto-selection`, i. e.,
+maximum data-rate or real-time audio rate. If the drive doesn't have
+this `auto-selection` capability, the decision should be made on the
+current disc loaded and the return value should be positive. A negative
+return value indicates an error.
+
+::
+
+ int select_disc(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, int number)
+
+If the drive can store multiple discs (a juke-box) this function
+will perform disc selection. It should return the number of the
+selected disc on success, a negative value on error. Currently, only
+the ide-cd driver supports this functionality.
+
+::
+
+ int get_last_session(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi,
+ struct cdrom_multisession *ms_info)
+
+This function should implement the old corresponding *ioctl()*. For
+device *cdi->dev*, the start of the last session of the current disc
+should be returned in the pointer argument *ms_info*. Note that
+routines in `cdrom.c` have sanitized this argument: its requested
+format will **always** be of the type *CDROM_LBA* (linear block
+addressing mode), whatever the calling software requested. But
+sanitization goes even further: the low-level implementation may
+return the requested information in *CDROM_MSF* format if it wishes so
+(setting the *ms_info->addr_format* field appropriately, of
+course) and the routines in `cdrom.c` will make the transformation if
+necessary. The return value is 0 upon success.
+
+::
+
+ int get_mcn(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi,
+ struct cdrom_mcn *mcn)
+
+Some discs carry a `Media Catalog Number` (MCN), also called
+`Universal Product Code` (UPC). This number should reflect the number
+that is generally found in the bar-code on the product. Unfortunately,
+the few discs that carry such a number on the disc don't even use the
+same format. The return argument to this function is a pointer to a
+pre-declared memory region of type *struct cdrom_mcn*. The MCN is
+expected as a 13-character string, terminated by a null-character.
+
+::
+
+ int reset(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi)
+
+This call should perform a hard-reset on the drive (although in
+circumstances that a hard-reset is necessary, a drive may very well not
+listen to commands anymore). Preferably, control is returned to the
+caller only after the drive has finished resetting. If the drive is no
+longer listening, it may be wise for the underlying low-level cdrom
+driver to time out.
+
+::
+
+ int audio_ioctl(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi,
+ unsigned int cmd, void *arg)
+
+Some of the CD-ROM-\ *ioctl()*\ 's defined in `cdrom.h` can be
+implemented by the routines described above, and hence the function
+*cdrom_ioctl* will use those. However, most *ioctl()*\ 's deal with
+audio-control. We have decided to leave these to be accessed through a
+single function, repeating the arguments *cmd* and *arg*. Note that
+the latter is of type *void*, rather than *unsigned long int*.
+The routine *cdrom_ioctl()* does do some useful things,
+though. It sanitizes the address format type to *CDROM_MSF* (Minutes,
+Seconds, Frames) for all audio calls. It also verifies the memory
+location of *arg*, and reserves stack-memory for the argument. This
+makes implementation of the *audio_ioctl()* much simpler than in the
+old driver scheme. For example, you may look up the function
+*cm206_audio_ioctl()* `cm206.c` that should be updated with
+this documentation.
+
+An unimplemented ioctl should return *-ENOSYS*, but a harmless request
+(e. g., *CDROMSTART*) may be ignored by returning 0 (success). Other
+errors should be according to the standards, whatever they are. When
+an error is returned by the low-level driver, the Uniform CD-ROM Driver
+tries whenever possible to return the error code to the calling program.
+(We may decide to sanitize the return value in *cdrom_ioctl()* though, in
+order to guarantee a uniform interface to the audio-player software.)
+
+::
+
+ int dev_ioctl(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi,
+ unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
+
+Some *ioctl()'s* seem to be specific to certain CD-ROM drives. That is,
+they are introduced to service some capabilities of certain drives. In
+fact, there are 6 different *ioctl()'s* for reading data, either in some
+particular kind of format, or audio data. Not many drives support
+reading audio tracks as data, I believe this is because of protection
+of copyrights of artists. Moreover, I think that if audio-tracks are
+supported, it should be done through the VFS and not via *ioctl()'s*. A
+problem here could be the fact that audio-frames are 2352 bytes long,
+so either the audio-file-system should ask for 75264 bytes at once
+(the least common multiple of 512 and 2352), or the drivers should
+bend their backs to cope with this incoherence (to which I would be
+opposed). Furthermore, it is very difficult for the hardware to find
+the exact frame boundaries, since there are no synchronization headers
+in audio frames. Once these issues are resolved, this code should be
+standardized in `cdrom.c`.
+
+Because there are so many *ioctl()'s* that seem to be introduced to
+satisfy certain drivers [#f2]_, any non-standard *ioctl()*\ s
+are routed through the call *dev_ioctl()*. In principle, `private`
+*ioctl()*\ 's should be numbered after the device's major number, and not
+the general CD-ROM *ioctl* number, `0x53`. Currently the
+non-supported *ioctl()'s* are:
+
+ CDROMREADMODE1, CDROMREADMODE2, CDROMREADAUDIO, CDROMREADRAW,
+ CDROMREADCOOKED, CDROMSEEK, CDROMPLAY-BLK and CDROM-READALL
+
+.. [#f2]
+
+ Is there software around that actually uses these? I'd be interested!
+
+.. _cdrom_capabilities:
+
+CD-ROM capabilities
+-------------------
+
+Instead of just implementing some *ioctl* calls, the interface in
+`cdrom.c` supplies the possibility to indicate the **capabilities**
+of a CD-ROM drive. This can be done by ORing any number of
+capability-constants that are defined in `cdrom.h` at the registration
+phase. Currently, the capabilities are any of::
+
+ CDC_CLOSE_TRAY /* can close tray by software control */
+ CDC_OPEN_TRAY /* can open tray */
+ CDC_LOCK /* can lock and unlock the door */
+ CDC_SELECT_SPEED /* can select speed, in units of * sim*150 ,kB/s */
+ CDC_SELECT_DISC /* drive is juke-box */
+ CDC_MULTI_SESSION /* can read sessions *> rm1* */
+ CDC_MCN /* can read Media Catalog Number */
+ CDC_MEDIA_CHANGED /* can report if disc has changed */
+ CDC_PLAY_AUDIO /* can perform audio-functions (play, pause, etc) */
+ CDC_RESET /* hard reset device */
+ CDC_IOCTLS /* driver has non-standard ioctls */
+ CDC_DRIVE_STATUS /* driver implements drive status */
+
+The capability flag is declared *const*, to prevent drivers from
+accidentally tampering with the contents. The capability fags actually
+inform `cdrom.c` of what the driver can do. If the drive found
+by the driver does not have the capability, is can be masked out by
+the *cdrom_device_info* variable *mask*. For instance, the SCSI CD-ROM
+driver has implemented the code for loading and ejecting CD-ROM's, and
+hence its corresponding flags in *capability* will be set. But a SCSI
+CD-ROM drive might be a caddy system, which can't load the tray, and
+hence for this drive the *cdrom_device_info* struct will have set
+the *CDC_CLOSE_TRAY* bit in *mask*.
+
+In the file `cdrom.c` you will encounter many constructions of the type::
+
+ if (cdo->capability & ∼cdi->mask & CDC _⟨capability⟩) ...
+
+There is no *ioctl* to set the mask... The reason is that
+I think it is better to control the **behavior** rather than the
+**capabilities**.
+
+Options
+-------
+
+A final flag register controls the **behavior** of the CD-ROM
+drives, in order to satisfy different users' wishes, hopefully
+independently of the ideas of the respective author who happened to
+have made the drive's support available to the Linux community. The
+current behavior options are::
+
+ CDO_AUTO_CLOSE /* try to close tray upon device open() */
+ CDO_AUTO_EJECT /* try to open tray on last device close() */
+ CDO_USE_FFLAGS /* use file_pointer->f_flags to indicate purpose for open() */
+ CDO_LOCK /* try to lock door if device is opened */
+ CDO_CHECK_TYPE /* ensure disc type is data if opened for data */
+
+The initial value of this register is
+`CDO_AUTO_CLOSE | CDO_USE_FFLAGS | CDO_LOCK`, reflecting my own view on user
+interface and software standards. Before you protest, there are two
+new *ioctl()'s* implemented in `cdrom.c`, that allow you to control the
+behavior by software. These are::
+
+ CDROM_SET_OPTIONS /* set options specified in (int)arg */
+ CDROM_CLEAR_OPTIONS /* clear options specified in (int)arg */
+
+One option needs some more explanation: *CDO_USE_FFLAGS*. In the next
+newsection we explain what the need for this option is.
+
+A software package `setcd`, available from the Debian distribution
+and `sunsite.unc.edu`, allows user level control of these flags.
+
+
+The need to know the purpose of opening the CD-ROM device
+=========================================================
+
+Traditionally, Unix devices can be used in two different `modes`,
+either by reading/writing to the device file, or by issuing
+controlling commands to the device, by the device's *ioctl()*
+call. The problem with CD-ROM drives, is that they can be used for
+two entirely different purposes. One is to mount removable
+file systems, CD-ROM's, the other is to play audio CD's. Audio commands
+are implemented entirely through *ioctl()\'s*, presumably because the
+first implementation (SUN?) has been such. In principle there is
+nothing wrong with this, but a good control of the `CD player` demands
+that the device can **always** be opened in order to give the
+*ioctl* commands, regardless of the state the drive is in.
+
+On the other hand, when used as a removable-media disc drive (what the
+original purpose of CD-ROM s is) we would like to make sure that the
+disc drive is ready for operation upon opening the device. In the old
+scheme, some CD-ROM drivers don't do any integrity checking, resulting
+in a number of i/o errors reported by the VFS to the kernel when an
+attempt for mounting a CD-ROM on an empty drive occurs. This is not a
+particularly elegant way to find out that there is no CD-ROM inserted;
+it more-or-less looks like the old IBM-PC trying to read an empty floppy
+drive for a couple of seconds, after which the system complains it
+can't read from it. Nowadays we can **sense** the existence of a
+removable medium in a drive, and we believe we should exploit that
+fact. An integrity check on opening of the device, that verifies the
+availability of a CD-ROM and its correct type (data), would be
+desirable.
+
+These two ways of using a CD-ROM drive, principally for data and
+secondarily for playing audio discs, have different demands for the
+behavior of the *open()* call. Audio use simply wants to open the
+device in order to get a file handle which is needed for issuing
+*ioctl* commands, while data use wants to open for correct and
+reliable data transfer. The only way user programs can indicate what
+their *purpose* of opening the device is, is through the *flags*
+parameter (see `open(2)`). For CD-ROM devices, these flags aren't
+implemented (some drivers implement checking for write-related flags,
+but this is not strictly necessary if the device file has correct
+permission flags). Most option flags simply don't make sense to
+CD-ROM devices: *O_CREAT*, *O_NOCTTY*, *O_TRUNC*, *O_APPEND*, and
+*O_SYNC* have no meaning to a CD-ROM.
+
+We therefore propose to use the flag *O_NONBLOCK* to indicate
+that the device is opened just for issuing *ioctl*
+commands. Strictly, the meaning of *O_NONBLOCK* is that opening and
+subsequent calls to the device don't cause the calling process to
+wait. We could interpret this as don't wait until someone has
+inserted some valid data-CD-ROM. Thus, our proposal of the
+implementation for the *open()* call for CD-ROM s is:
+
+- If no other flags are set than *O_RDONLY*, the device is opened
+ for data transfer, and the return value will be 0 only upon successful
+ initialization of the transfer. The call may even induce some actions
+ on the CD-ROM, such as closing the tray.
+- If the option flag *O_NONBLOCK* is set, opening will always be
+ successful, unless the whole device doesn't exist. The drive will take
+ no actions whatsoever.
+
+And what about standards?
+-------------------------
+
+You might hesitate to accept this proposal as it comes from the
+Linux community, and not from some standardizing institute. What
+about SUN, SGI, HP and all those other Unix and hardware vendors?
+Well, these companies are in the lucky position that they generally
+control both the hardware and software of their supported products,
+and are large enough to set their own standard. They do not have to
+deal with a dozen or more different, competing hardware
+configurations\ [#f3]_.
+
+.. [#f3]
+
+ Incidentally, I think that SUN's approach to mounting CD-ROM s is very
+ good in origin: under Solaris a volume-daemon automatically mounts a
+ newly inserted CD-ROM under `/cdrom/*<volume-name>*`.
+
+ In my opinion they should have pushed this
+ further and have **every** CD-ROM on the local area network be
+ mounted at the similar location, i. e., no matter in which particular
+ machine you insert a CD-ROM, it will always appear at the same
+ position in the directory tree, on every system. When I wanted to
+ implement such a user-program for Linux, I came across the
+ differences in behavior of the various drivers, and the need for an
+ *ioctl* informing about media changes.
+
+We believe that using *O_NONBLOCK* to indicate that a device is being opened
+for *ioctl* commands only can be easily introduced in the Linux
+community. All the CD-player authors will have to be informed, we can
+even send in our own patches to the programs. The use of *O_NONBLOCK*
+has most likely no influence on the behavior of the CD-players on
+other operating systems than Linux. Finally, a user can always revert
+to old behavior by a call to
+*ioctl(file_descriptor, CDROM_CLEAR_OPTIONS, CDO_USE_FFLAGS)*.
+
+The preferred strategy of *open()*
+----------------------------------
+
+The routines in `cdrom.c` are designed in such a way that run-time
+configuration of the behavior of CD-ROM devices (of **any** type)
+can be carried out, by the *CDROM_SET/CLEAR_OPTIONS* *ioctls*. Thus, various
+modes of operation can be set:
+
+`CDO_AUTO_CLOSE | CDO_USE_FFLAGS | CDO_LOCK`
+ This is the default setting. (With *CDO_CHECK_TYPE* it will be better, in
+ the future.) If the device is not yet opened by any other process, and if
+ the device is being opened for data (*O_NONBLOCK* is not set) and the
+ tray is found to be open, an attempt to close the tray is made. Then,
+ it is verified that a disc is in the drive and, if *CDO_CHECK_TYPE* is
+ set, that it contains tracks of type `data mode 1`. Only if all tests
+ are passed is the return value zero. The door is locked to prevent file
+ system corruption. If the drive is opened for audio (*O_NONBLOCK* is
+ set), no actions are taken and a value of 0 will be returned.
+
+`CDO_AUTO_CLOSE | CDO_AUTO_EJECT | CDO_LOCK`
+ This mimics the behavior of the current sbpcd-driver. The option flags are
+ ignored, the tray is closed on the first open, if necessary. Similarly,
+ the tray is opened on the last release, i. e., if a CD-ROM is unmounted,
+ it is automatically ejected, such that the user can replace it.
+
+We hope that these option can convince everybody (both driver
+maintainers and user program developers) to adopt the new CD-ROM
+driver scheme and option flag interpretation.
+
+Description of routines in `cdrom.c`
+====================================
+
+Only a few routines in `cdrom.c` are exported to the drivers. In this
+new section we will discuss these, as well as the functions that `take
+over' the CD-ROM interface to the kernel. The header file belonging
+to `cdrom.c` is called `cdrom.h`. Formerly, some of the contents of this
+file were placed in the file `ucdrom.h`, but this file has now been
+merged back into `cdrom.h`.
+
+::
+
+ struct file_operations cdrom_fops
+
+The contents of this structure were described in cdrom_api_.
+A pointer to this structure is assigned to the *fops* field
+of the *struct gendisk*.
+
+::
+
+ int register_cdrom(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi)
+
+This function is used in about the same way one registers *cdrom_fops*
+with the kernel, the device operations and information structures,
+as described in cdrom_api_, should be registered with the
+Uniform CD-ROM Driver::
+
+ register_cdrom(&<device>_info);
+
+
+This function returns zero upon success, and non-zero upon
+failure. The structure *<device>_info* should have a pointer to the
+driver's *<device>_dops*, as in::
+
+ struct cdrom_device_info <device>_info = {
+ <device>_dops;
+ ...
+ }
+
+Note that a driver must have one static structure, *<device>_dops*, while
+it may have as many structures *<device>_info* as there are minor devices
+active. *Register_cdrom()* builds a linked list from these.
+
+
+::
+
+ void unregister_cdrom(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi)
+
+Unregistering device *cdi* with minor number *MINOR(cdi->dev)* removes
+the minor device from the list. If it was the last registered minor for
+the low-level driver, this disconnects the registered device-operation
+routines from the CD-ROM interface. This function returns zero upon
+success, and non-zero upon failure.
+
+::
+
+ int cdrom_open(struct inode * ip, struct file * fp)
+
+This function is not called directly by the low-level drivers, it is
+listed in the standard *cdrom_fops*. If the VFS opens a file, this
+function becomes active. A strategy is implemented in this routine,
+taking care of all capabilities and options that are set in the
+*cdrom_device_ops* connected to the device. Then, the program flow is
+transferred to the device_dependent *open()* call.
+
+::
+
+ void cdrom_release(struct inode *ip, struct file *fp)
+
+This function implements the reverse-logic of *cdrom_open()*, and then
+calls the device-dependent *release()* routine. When the use-count has
+reached 0, the allocated buffers are flushed by calls to *sync_dev(dev)*
+and *invalidate_buffers(dev)*.
+
+
+.. _cdrom_ioctl:
+
+::
+
+ int cdrom_ioctl(struct inode *ip, struct file *fp,
+ unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
+
+This function handles all the standard *ioctl* requests for CD-ROM
+devices in a uniform way. The different calls fall into three
+categories: *ioctl()'s* that can be directly implemented by device
+operations, ones that are routed through the call *audio_ioctl()*, and
+the remaining ones, that are presumable device-dependent. Generally, a
+negative return value indicates an error.
+
+Directly implemented *ioctl()'s*
+--------------------------------
+
+The following `old` CD-ROM *ioctl()*\ 's are implemented by directly
+calling device-operations in *cdrom_device_ops*, if implemented and
+not masked:
+
+`CDROMMULTISESSION`
+ Requests the last session on a CD-ROM.
+`CDROMEJECT`
+ Open tray.
+`CDROMCLOSETRAY`
+ Close tray.
+`CDROMEJECT_SW`
+ If *arg\not=0*, set behavior to auto-close (close
+ tray on first open) and auto-eject (eject on last release), otherwise
+ set behavior to non-moving on *open()* and *release()* calls.
+`CDROM_GET_MCN`
+ Get the Media Catalog Number from a CD.
+
+*Ioctl*s routed through *audio_ioctl()*
+---------------------------------------
+
+The following set of *ioctl()'s* are all implemented through a call to
+the *cdrom_fops* function *audio_ioctl()*. Memory checks and
+allocation are performed in *cdrom_ioctl()*, and also sanitization of
+address format (*CDROM_LBA*/*CDROM_MSF*) is done.
+
+`CDROMSUBCHNL`
+ Get sub-channel data in argument *arg* of type
+ `struct cdrom_subchnl *`.
+`CDROMREADTOCHDR`
+ Read Table of Contents header, in *arg* of type
+ `struct cdrom_tochdr *`.
+`CDROMREADTOCENTRY`
+ Read a Table of Contents entry in *arg* and specified by *arg*
+ of type `struct cdrom_tocentry *`.
+`CDROMPLAYMSF`
+ Play audio fragment specified in Minute, Second, Frame format,
+ delimited by *arg* of type `struct cdrom_msf *`.
+`CDROMPLAYTRKIND`
+ Play audio fragment in track-index format delimited by *arg*
+ of type `struct cdrom_ti *`.
+`CDROMVOLCTRL`
+ Set volume specified by *arg* of type `struct cdrom_volctrl *`.
+`CDROMVOLREAD`
+ Read volume into by *arg* of type `struct cdrom_volctrl *`.
+`CDROMSTART`
+ Spin up disc.
+`CDROMSTOP`
+ Stop playback of audio fragment.
+`CDROMPAUSE`
+ Pause playback of audio fragment.
+`CDROMRESUME`
+ Resume playing.
+
+New *ioctl()'s* in `cdrom.c`
+----------------------------
+
+The following *ioctl()'s* have been introduced to allow user programs to
+control the behavior of individual CD-ROM devices. New *ioctl*
+commands can be identified by the underscores in their names.
+
+`CDROM_SET_OPTIONS`
+ Set options specified by *arg*. Returns the option flag register
+ after modification. Use *arg = \rm0* for reading the current flags.
+`CDROM_CLEAR_OPTIONS`
+ Clear options specified by *arg*. Returns the option flag register
+ after modification.
+`CDROM_SELECT_SPEED`
+ Select head-rate speed of disc specified as by *arg* in units
+ of standard cdrom speed (176\,kB/sec raw data or
+ 150kB/sec file system data). The value 0 means `auto-select`,
+ i. e., play audio discs at real time and data discs at maximum speed.
+ The value *arg* is checked against the maximum head rate of the
+ drive found in the *cdrom_dops*.
+`CDROM_SELECT_DISC`
+ Select disc numbered *arg* from a juke-box.
+
+ First disc is numbered 0. The number *arg* is checked against the
+ maximum number of discs in the juke-box found in the *cdrom_dops*.
+`CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED`
+ Returns 1 if a disc has been changed since the last call.
+ Note that calls to *cdrom_media_changed* by the VFS are treated
+ by an independent queue, so both mechanisms will detect a
+ media change once. For juke-boxes, an extra argument *arg*
+ specifies the slot for which the information is given. The special
+ value *CDSL_CURRENT* requests that information about the currently
+ selected slot be returned.
+`CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS`
+ Returns the status of the drive by a call to
+ *drive_status()*. Return values are defined in cdrom_drive_status_.
+ Note that this call doesn't return information on the
+ current playing activity of the drive; this can be polled through
+ an *ioctl* call to *CDROMSUBCHNL*. For juke-boxes, an extra argument
+ *arg* specifies the slot for which (possibly limited) information is
+ given. The special value *CDSL_CURRENT* requests that information
+ about the currently selected slot be returned.
+`CDROM_DISC_STATUS`
+ Returns the type of the disc currently in the drive.
+ It should be viewed as a complement to *CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS*.
+ This *ioctl* can provide *some* information about the current
+ disc that is inserted in the drive. This functionality used to be
+ implemented in the low level drivers, but is now carried out
+ entirely in Uniform CD-ROM Driver.
+
+ The history of development of the CD's use as a carrier medium for
+ various digital information has lead to many different disc types.
+ This *ioctl* is useful only in the case that CDs have \emph {only
+ one} type of data on them. While this is often the case, it is
+ also very common for CDs to have some tracks with data, and some
+ tracks with audio. Because this is an existing interface, rather
+ than fixing this interface by changing the assumptions it was made
+ under, thereby breaking all user applications that use this
+ function, the Uniform CD-ROM Driver implements this *ioctl* as
+ follows: If the CD in question has audio tracks on it, and it has
+ absolutely no CD-I, XA, or data tracks on it, it will be reported
+ as *CDS_AUDIO*. If it has both audio and data tracks, it will
+ return *CDS_MIXED*. If there are no audio tracks on the disc, and
+ if the CD in question has any CD-I tracks on it, it will be
+ reported as *CDS_XA_2_2*. Failing that, if the CD in question
+ has any XA tracks on it, it will be reported as *CDS_XA_2_1*.
+ Finally, if the CD in question has any data tracks on it,
+ it will be reported as a data CD (*CDS_DATA_1*).
+
+ This *ioctl* can return::
+
+ CDS_NO_INFO /* no information available */
+ CDS_NO_DISC /* no disc is inserted, or tray is opened */
+ CDS_AUDIO /* Audio disc (2352 audio bytes/frame) */
+ CDS_DATA_1 /* data disc, mode 1 (2048 user bytes/frame) */
+ CDS_XA_2_1 /* mixed data (XA), mode 2, form 1 (2048 user bytes) */
+ CDS_XA_2_2 /* mixed data (XA), mode 2, form 1 (2324 user bytes) */
+ CDS_MIXED /* mixed audio/data disc */
+
+ For some information concerning frame layout of the various disc
+ types, see a recent version of `cdrom.h`.
+
+`CDROM_CHANGER_NSLOTS`
+ Returns the number of slots in a juke-box.
+`CDROMRESET`
+ Reset the drive.
+`CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY`
+ Returns the *capability* flags for the drive. Refer to section
+ cdrom_capabilities_ for more information on these flags.
+`CDROM_LOCKDOOR`
+ Locks the door of the drive. `arg == 0` unlocks the door,
+ any other value locks it.
+`CDROM_DEBUG`
+ Turns on debugging info. Only root is allowed to do this.
+ Same semantics as CDROM_LOCKDOOR.
+
+
+Device dependent *ioctl()'s*
+----------------------------
+
+Finally, all other *ioctl()'s* are passed to the function *dev_ioctl()*,
+if implemented. No memory allocation or verification is carried out.
+
+How to update your driver
+=========================
+
+- Make a backup of your current driver.
+- Get hold of the files `cdrom.c` and `cdrom.h`, they should be in
+ the directory tree that came with this documentation.
+- Make sure you include `cdrom.h`.
+- Change the 3rd argument of *register_blkdev* from `&<your-drive>_fops`
+ to `&cdrom_fops`.
+- Just after that line, add the following to register with the Uniform
+ CD-ROM Driver::
+
+ register_cdrom(&<your-drive>_info);*
+
+ Similarly, add a call to *unregister_cdrom()* at the appropriate place.
+- Copy an example of the device-operations *struct* to your
+ source, e. g., from `cm206.c` *cm206_dops*, and change all
+ entries to names corresponding to your driver, or names you just
+ happen to like. If your driver doesn't support a certain function,
+ make the entry *NULL*. At the entry *capability* you should list all
+ capabilities your driver currently supports. If your driver
+ has a capability that is not listed, please send me a message.
+- Copy the *cdrom_device_info* declaration from the same example
+ driver, and modify the entries according to your needs. If your
+ driver dynamically determines the capabilities of the hardware, this
+ structure should also be declared dynamically.
+- Implement all functions in your `<device>_dops` structure,
+ according to prototypes listed in `cdrom.h`, and specifications given
+ in cdrom_api_. Most likely you have already implemented
+ the code in a large part, and you will almost certainly need to adapt the
+ prototype and return values.
+- Rename your `<device>_ioctl()` function to *audio_ioctl* and
+ change the prototype a little. Remove entries listed in the first
+ part in cdrom_ioctl_, if your code was OK, these are
+ just calls to the routines you adapted in the previous step.
+- You may remove all remaining memory checking code in the
+ *audio_ioctl()* function that deals with audio commands (these are
+ listed in the second part of cdrom_ioctl_. There is no
+ need for memory allocation either, so most *case*s in the *switch*
+ statement look similar to::
+
+ case CDROMREADTOCENTRY:
+ get_toc_entry\bigl((struct cdrom_tocentry *) arg);
+
+- All remaining *ioctl* cases must be moved to a separate
+ function, *<device>_ioctl*, the device-dependent *ioctl()'s*. Note that
+ memory checking and allocation must be kept in this code!
+- Change the prototypes of *<device>_open()* and
+ *<device>_release()*, and remove any strategic code (i. e., tray
+ movement, door locking, etc.).
+- Try to recompile the drivers. We advise you to use modules, both
+ for `cdrom.o` and your driver, as debugging is much easier this
+ way.
+
+Thanks
+======
+
+Thanks to all the people involved. First, Erik Andersen, who has
+taken over the torch in maintaining `cdrom.c` and integrating much
+CD-ROM-related code in the 2.1-kernel. Thanks to Scott Snyder and
+Gerd Knorr, who were the first to implement this interface for SCSI
+and IDE-CD drivers and added many ideas for extension of the data
+structures relative to kernel~2.0. Further thanks to Heiko Eißfeldt,
+Thomas Quinot, Jon Tombs, Ken Pizzini, Eberhard Mönkeberg and Andrew Kroll,
+the Linux CD-ROM device driver developers who were kind
+enough to give suggestions and criticisms during the writing. Finally
+of course, I want to thank Linus Torvalds for making this possible in
+the first place.

-\newsection{Introduction}
-
-\linux\ is probably the Unix-like operating system that supports
-the widest variety of hardware devices. The reasons for this are
-presumably
-\begin{itemize}
-\item
- The large list of hardware devices available for the many platforms
- that \linux\ now supports (\ie, i386-PCs, Sparc Suns, etc.)
-\item
- The open design of the operating system, such that anybody can write a
- driver for \linux.
-\item
- There is plenty of source code around as examples of how to write a driver.
-\end{itemize}
-The openness of \linux, and the many different types of available
-hardware has allowed \linux\ to support many different hardware devices.
-Unfortunately, the very openness that has allowed \linux\ to support
-all these different devices has also allowed the behavior of each
-device driver to differ significantly from one device to another.
-This divergence of behavior has been very significant for \cdrom\
-devices; the way a particular drive reacts to a `standard' $ioctl()$
-call varies greatly from one device driver to another. To avoid making
-their drivers totally inconsistent, the writers of \linux\ \cdrom\
-drivers generally created new device drivers by understanding, copying,
-and then changing an existing one. Unfortunately, this practice did not
-maintain uniform behavior across all the \linux\ \cdrom\ drivers.
-
-This document describes an effort to establish Uniform behavior across
-all the different \cdrom\ device drivers for \linux. This document also
-defines the various $ioctl$s, and how the low-level \cdrom\ device
-drivers should implement them. Currently (as of the \linux\ 2.1.$x$
-development kernels) several low-level \cdrom\ device drivers, including
-both IDE/ATAPI and SCSI, now use this Uniform interface.
-
-When the \cdrom\ was developed, the interface between the \cdrom\ drive
-and the computer was not specified in the standards. As a result, many
-different \cdrom\ interfaces were developed. Some of them had their
-own proprietary design (Sony, Mitsumi, Panasonic, Philips), other
-manufacturers adopted an existing electrical interface and changed
-the functionality (CreativeLabs/SoundBlaster, Teac, Funai) or simply
-adapted their drives to one or more of the already existing electrical
-interfaces (Aztech, Sanyo, Funai, Vertos, Longshine, Optics Storage and
-most of the `NoName' manufacturers). In cases where a new drive really
-brought its own interface or used its own command set and flow control
-scheme, either a separate driver had to be written, or an existing
-driver had to be enhanced. History has delivered us \cdrom\ support for
-many of these different interfaces. Nowadays, almost all new \cdrom\
-drives are either IDE/ATAPI or SCSI, and it is very unlikely that any
-manufacturer will create a new interface. Even finding drives for the
-old proprietary interfaces is getting difficult.
-
-When (in the 1.3.70's) I looked at the existing software interface,
-which was expressed through \cdromh, it appeared to be a rather wild
-set of commands and data formats.\footnote{I cannot recollect what
-kernel version I looked at, then, presumably 1.2.13 and 1.3.34---the
-latest kernel that I was indirectly involved in.} It seemed that many
-features of the software interface had been added to accommodate the
-capabilities of a particular drive, in an {\fo ad hoc\/} manner. More
-importantly, it appeared that the behavior of the `standard' commands
-was different for most of the different drivers: \eg, some drivers
-close the tray if an $open()$ call occurs when the tray is open, while
-others do not. Some drivers lock the door upon opening the device, to
-prevent an incoherent file system, but others don't, to allow software
-ejection. Undoubtedly, the capabilities of the different drives vary,
-but even when two drives have the same capability their drivers'
-behavior was usually different.
-
-I decided to start a discussion on how to make all the \linux\ \cdrom\
-drivers behave more uniformly. I began by contacting the developers of
-the many \cdrom\ drivers found in the \linux\ kernel. Their reactions
-encouraged me to write the \UCD\ which this document is intended to
-describe. The implementation of the \UCD\ is in the file \cdromc. This
-driver is intended to be an additional software layer that sits on top
-of the low-level device drivers for each \cdrom\ drive. By adding this
-additional layer, it is possible to have all the different \cdrom\
-devices behave {\em exactly\/} the same (insofar as the underlying
-hardware will allow).
-
-The goal of the \UCD\ is {\em not\/} to alienate driver developers who
-have not yet taken steps to support this effort. The goal of \UCD\ is
-simply to give people writing application programs for \cdrom\ drives
-{\em one\/} \linux\ \cdrom\ interface with consistent behavior for all
-\cdrom\ devices. In addition, this also provides a consistent interface
-between the low-level device driver code and the \linux\ kernel. Care
-is taken that 100\,\% compatibility exists with the data structures and
-programmer's interface defined in \cdromh. This guide was written to
-help \cdrom\ driver developers adapt their code to use the \UCD\ code
-defined in \cdromc.
-
-Personally, I think that the most important hardware interfaces are
-the IDE/ATAPI drives and, of course, the SCSI drives, but as prices
-of hardware drop continuously, it is also likely that people may have
-more than one \cdrom\ drive, possibly of mixed types. It is important
-that these drives behave in the same way. In December 1994, one of the
-cheapest \cdrom\ drives was a Philips cm206, a double-speed proprietary
-drive. In the months that I was busy writing a \linux\ driver for it,
-proprietary drives became obsolete and IDE/ATAPI drives became the
-standard. At the time of the last update to this document (November
-1997) it is becoming difficult to even {\em find} anything less than a
-16 speed \cdrom\ drive, and 24 speed drives are common.
-
-\newsection{Standardizing through another software level}
-\label{cdrom.c}
-
-At the time this document was conceived, all drivers directly
-implemented the \cdrom\ $ioctl()$ calls through their own routines. This
-led to the danger of different drivers forgetting to do important things
-like checking that the user was giving the driver valid data. More
-importantly, this led to the divergence of behavior, which has already
-been discussed.
-
-For this reason, the \UCD\ was created to enforce consistent \cdrom\
-drive behavior, and to provide a common set of services to the various
-low-level \cdrom\ device drivers. The \UCD\ now provides another
-software-level, that separates the $ioctl()$ and $open()$ implementation
-from the actual hardware implementation. Note that this effort has
-made few changes which will affect a user's application programs. The
-greatest change involved moving the contents of the various low-level
-\cdrom\ drivers' header files to the kernel's cdrom directory. This was
-done to help ensure that the user is only presented with only one cdrom
-interface, the interface defined in \cdromh.
-
-\cdrom\ drives are specific enough (\ie, different from other
-block-devices such as floppy or hard disc drives), to define a set
-of common {\em \cdrom\ device operations}, $<cdrom-device>_dops$.
-These operations are different from the classical block-device file
-operations, $<block-device>_fops$.
-
-The routines for the \UCD\ interface level are implemented in the file
-\cdromc. In this file, the \UCD\ interfaces with the kernel as a block
-device by registering the following general $struct\ file_operations$:
-$$
-\halign{$#$\ \hfil&$#$\ \hfil&$/*$ \rm# $*/$\hfil\cr
-struct& file_operations\ cdrom_fops = \{\hidewidth\cr
- &NULL, & lseek \cr
- &block_read, & read---general block-dev read \cr
- &block_write, & write---general block-dev write \cr
- &NULL, & readdir \cr
- &NULL, & select \cr
- &cdrom_ioctl, & ioctl \cr
- &NULL, & mmap \cr
- &cdrom_open, & open \cr
- &cdrom_release, & release \cr
- &NULL, & fsync \cr
- &NULL, & fasync \cr
- &cdrom_media_changed, & media change \cr
- &NULL & revalidate \cr
-\};\cr
-}
-$$
-
-Every active \cdrom\ device shares this $struct$. The routines
-declared above are all implemented in \cdromc, since this file is the
-place where the behavior of all \cdrom-devices is defined and
-standardized. The actual interface to the various types of \cdrom\
-hardware is still performed by various low-level \cdrom-device
-drivers. These routines simply implement certain {\em capabilities\/}
-that are common to all \cdrom\ (and really, all removable-media
-devices).
-
-Registration of a low-level \cdrom\ device driver is now done through
-the general routines in \cdromc, not through the Virtual File System
-(VFS) any more. The interface implemented in \cdromc\ is carried out
-through two general structures that contain information about the
-capabilities of the driver, and the specific drives on which the
-driver operates. The structures are:
-\begin{description}
-\item[$cdrom_device_ops$]
- This structure contains information about the low-level driver for a
- \cdrom\ device. This structure is conceptually connected to the major
- number of the device (although some drivers may have different
- major numbers, as is the case for the IDE driver).
-\item[$cdrom_device_info$]
- This structure contains information about a particular \cdrom\ drive,
- such as its device name, speed, etc. This structure is conceptually
- connected to the minor number of the device.
-\end{description}
-
-Registering a particular \cdrom\ drive with the \UCD\ is done by the
-low-level device driver though a call to:
-$$register_cdrom(struct\ cdrom_device_info * <device>_info)
-$$
-The device information structure, $<device>_info$, contains all the
-information needed for the kernel to interface with the low-level
-\cdrom\ device driver. One of the most important entries in this
-structure is a pointer to the $cdrom_device_ops$ structure of the
-low-level driver.
-
-The device operations structure, $cdrom_device_ops$, contains a list
-of pointers to the functions which are implemented in the low-level
-device driver. When \cdromc\ accesses a \cdrom\ device, it does it
-through the functions in this structure. It is impossible to know all
-the capabilities of future \cdrom\ drives, so it is expected that this
-list may need to be expanded from time to time as new technologies are
-developed. For example, CD-R and CD-R/W drives are beginning to become
-popular, and support will soon need to be added for them. For now, the
-current $struct$ is:
-$$
-\halign{$#$\ \hfil&$#$\ \hfil&\hbox to 10em{$#$\hss}&
- $/*$ \rm# $*/$\hfil\cr
-struct& cdrom_device_ops\ \{ \hidewidth\cr
- &int& (* open)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, int)\cr
- &void& (* release)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *);\cr
- &int& (* drive_status)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, int);\cr
- &unsigned\ int& (* check_events)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, unsigned\ int, int);\cr
- &int& (* media_changed)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, int);\cr
- &int& (* tray_move)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, int);\cr
- &int& (* lock_door)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, int);\cr
- &int& (* select_speed)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, int);\cr
- &int& (* select_disc)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, int);\cr
- &int& (* get_last_session) (struct\ cdrom_device_info *,
- struct\ cdrom_multisession *{});\cr
- &int& (* get_mcn)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, struct\ cdrom_mcn *{});\cr
- &int& (* reset)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *);\cr
- &int& (* audio_ioctl)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, unsigned\ int,
- void *{});\cr
-\noalign{\medskip}
- &const\ int& capability;& capability flags \cr
- &int& (* generic_packet)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, struct\ packet_command *{});\cr
-\};\cr
-}
-$$
-When a low-level device driver implements one of these capabilities,
-it should add a function pointer to this $struct$. When a particular
-function is not implemented, however, this $struct$ should contain a
-NULL instead. The $capability$ flags specify the capabilities of the
-\cdrom\ hardware and/or low-level \cdrom\ driver when a \cdrom\ drive
-is registered with the \UCD.
-
-Note that most functions have fewer parameters than their
-$blkdev_fops$ counterparts. This is because very little of the
-information in the structures $inode$ and $file$ is used. For most
-drivers, the main parameter is the $struct$ $cdrom_device_info$, from
-which the major and minor number can be extracted. (Most low-level
-\cdrom\ drivers don't even look at the major and minor number though,
-since many of them only support one device.) This will be available
-through $dev$ in $cdrom_device_info$ described below.
-
-The drive-specific, minor-like information that is registered with
-\cdromc, currently contains the following fields:
-$$
-\halign{$#$\ \hfil&$#$\ \hfil&\hbox to 10em{$#$\hss}&
- $/*$ \rm# $*/$\hfil\cr

-\}\cr
-}$$
-Using this $struct$, a linked list of the registered minor devices is
-built, using the $next$ field. The device number, the device operations
-struct and specifications of properties of the drive are stored in this
-structure.
-
-The $mask$ flags can be used to mask out some of the capabilities listed
-in $ops\to capability$, if a specific drive doesn't support a feature
-of the driver. The value $speed$ specifies the maximum head-rate of the
-drive, measured in units of normal audio speed (176\,kB/sec raw data or
-150\,kB/sec file system data). The parameters are declared $const$
-because they describe properties of the drive, which don't change after
-registration.
-
-A few registers contain variables local to the \cdrom\ drive. The
-flags $options$ are used to specify how the general \cdrom\ routines
-should behave. These various flags registers should provide enough
-flexibility to adapt to the different users' wishes (and {\em not\/} the
-`arbitrary' wishes of the author of the low-level device driver, as is
-the case in the old scheme). The register $mc_flags$ is used to buffer
-the information from $media_changed()$ to two separate queues. Other
-data that is specific to a minor drive, can be accessed through $handle$,
-which can point to a data structure specific to the low-level driver.
-The fields $use_count$, $next$, $options$ and $mc_flags$ need not be
-initialized.
-
-The intermediate software layer that \cdromc\ forms will perform some
-additional bookkeeping. The use count of the device (the number of
-processes that have the device opened) is registered in $use_count$. The
-function $cdrom_ioctl()$ will verify the appropriate user-memory regions
-for read and write, and in case a location on the CD is transferred,
-it will `sanitize' the format by making requests to the low-level
-drivers in a standard format, and translating all formats between the
-user-software and low level drivers. This relieves much of the drivers'
-memory checking and format checking and translation. Also, the necessary
-structures will be declared on the program stack.
-
-The implementation of the functions should be as defined in the
-following sections. Two functions {\em must\/} be implemented, namely
-$open()$ and $release()$. Other functions may be omitted, their
-corresponding capability flags will be cleared upon registration.
-Generally, a function returns zero on success and negative on error. A
-function call should return only after the command has completed, but of
-course waiting for the device should not use processor time.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ open(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, int\ purpose)$}
-
-$Open()$ should try to open the device for a specific $purpose$, which
-can be either:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item[0] Open for reading data, as done by {\tt {mount()}} (2), or the
-user commands {\tt {dd}} or {\tt {cat}}.
-\item[1] Open for $ioctl$ commands, as done by audio-CD playing
-programs.
-\end{itemize}
-Notice that any strategic code (closing tray upon $open()$, etc.)\ is
-done by the calling routine in \cdromc, so the low-level routine
-should only be concerned with proper initialization, such as spinning
-up the disc, etc. % and device-use count
-
-
-\subsection{$Void\ release(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi)$}
-
-
-Device-specific actions should be taken such as spinning down the device.
-However, strategic actions such as ejection of the tray, or unlocking
-the door, should be left over to the general routine $cdrom_release()$.
-This is the only function returning type $void$.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ drive_status(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, int\ slot_nr)$}
-\label{drive status}
-
-The function $drive_status$, if implemented, should provide
-information on the status of the drive (not the status of the disc,
-which may or may not be in the drive). If the drive is not a changer,
-$slot_nr$ should be ignored. In \cdromh\ the possibilities are listed:
-$$
-\halign{$#$\ \hfil&$/*$ \rm# $*/$\hfil\cr
-CDS_NO_INFO& no information available\cr
-CDS_NO_DISC& no disc is inserted, tray is closed\cr
-CDS_TRAY_OPEN& tray is opened\cr
-CDS_DRIVE_NOT_READY& something is wrong, tray is moving?\cr
-CDS_DISC_OK& a disc is loaded and everything is fine\cr
-}
-$$
-
-\subsection{$Int\ media_changed(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, int\ disc_nr)$}
-
-This function is very similar to the original function in $struct\
-file_operations$. It returns 1 if the medium of the device $cdi\to
-dev$ has changed since the last call, and 0 otherwise. The parameter
-$disc_nr$ identifies a specific slot in a juke-box, it should be
-ignored for single-disc drives. Note that by `re-routing' this
-function through $cdrom_media_changed()$, we can implement separate
-queues for the VFS and a new $ioctl()$ function that can report device
-changes to software (\eg, an auto-mounting daemon).
-
-\subsection{$Int\ tray_move(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, int\ position)$}
-
-This function, if implemented, should control the tray movement. (No
-other function should control this.) The parameter $position$ controls
-the desired direction of movement:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item[0] Close tray
-\item[1] Open tray
-\end{itemize}
-This function returns 0 upon success, and a non-zero value upon
-error. Note that if the tray is already in the desired position, no
-action need be taken, and the return value should be 0.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ lock_door(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, int\ lock)$}
-
-This function (and no other code) controls locking of the door, if the
-drive allows this. The value of $lock$ controls the desired locking
-state:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item[0] Unlock door, manual opening is allowed
-\item[1] Lock door, tray cannot be ejected manually
-\end{itemize}
-This function returns 0 upon success, and a non-zero value upon
-error. Note that if the door is already in the requested state, no
-action need be taken, and the return value should be 0.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ select_speed(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, int\ speed)$}
-
-Some \cdrom\ drives are capable of changing their head-speed. There
-are several reasons for changing the speed of a \cdrom\ drive. Badly
-pressed \cdrom s may benefit from less-than-maximum head rate. Modern
-\cdrom\ drives can obtain very high head rates (up to $24\times$ is
-common). It has been reported that these drives can make reading
-errors at these high speeds, reducing the speed can prevent data loss
-in these circumstances. Finally, some of these drives can
-make an annoyingly loud noise, which a lower speed may reduce. %Finally,
-%although the audio-low-pass filters probably aren't designed for it,
-%more than real-time playback of audio might be used for high-speed
-%copying of audio tracks.
-
-This function specifies the speed at which data is read or audio is
-played back. The value of $speed$ specifies the head-speed of the
-drive, measured in units of standard cdrom speed (176\,kB/sec raw data
-or 150\,kB/sec file system data). So to request that a \cdrom\ drive
-operate at 300\,kB/sec you would call the CDROM_SELECT_SPEED $ioctl$
-with $speed=2$. The special value `0' means `auto-selection', \ie,
-maximum data-rate or real-time audio rate. If the drive doesn't have
-this `auto-selection' capability, the decision should be made on the
-current disc loaded and the return value should be positive. A negative
-return value indicates an error.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ select_disc(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, int\ number)$}
-
-If the drive can store multiple discs (a juke-box) this function
-will perform disc selection. It should return the number of the
-selected disc on success, a negative value on error. Currently, only
-the ide-cd driver supports this functionality.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ get_last_session(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, struct\
- cdrom_multisession * ms_info)$}
-
-This function should implement the old corresponding $ioctl()$. For
-device $cdi\to dev$, the start of the last session of the current disc
-should be returned in the pointer argument $ms_info$. Note that
-routines in \cdromc\ have sanitized this argument: its requested
-format will {\em always\/} be of the type $CDROM_LBA$ (linear block
-addressing mode), whatever the calling software requested. But
-sanitization goes even further: the low-level implementation may
-return the requested information in $CDROM_MSF$ format if it wishes so
-(setting the $ms_info\rightarrow addr_format$ field appropriately, of
-course) and the routines in \cdromc\ will make the transformation if
-necessary. The return value is 0 upon success.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ get_mcn(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, struct\
- cdrom_mcn * mcn)$}
-
-Some discs carry a `Media Catalog Number' (MCN), also called
-`Universal Product Code' (UPC). This number should reflect the number
-that is generally found in the bar-code on the product. Unfortunately,
-the few discs that carry such a number on the disc don't even use the
-same format. The return argument to this function is a pointer to a
-pre-declared memory region of type $struct\ cdrom_mcn$. The MCN is
-expected as a 13-character string, terminated by a null-character.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ reset(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi)$}
-
-This call should perform a hard-reset on the drive (although in
-circumstances that a hard-reset is necessary, a drive may very well not
-listen to commands anymore). Preferably, control is returned to the
-caller only after the drive has finished resetting. If the drive is no
-longer listening, it may be wise for the underlying low-level cdrom
-driver to time out.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ audio_ioctl(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, unsigned\
- int\ cmd, void * arg)$}
-
-Some of the \cdrom-$ioctl$s defined in \cdromh\ can be
-implemented by the routines described above, and hence the function
-$cdrom_ioctl$ will use those. However, most $ioctl$s deal with
-audio-control. We have decided to leave these to be accessed through a
-single function, repeating the arguments $cmd$ and $arg$. Note that
-the latter is of type $void*{}$, rather than $unsigned\ long\
-int$. The routine $cdrom_ioctl()$ does do some useful things,
-though. It sanitizes the address format type to $CDROM_MSF$ (Minutes,
-Seconds, Frames) for all audio calls. It also verifies the memory
-location of $arg$, and reserves stack-memory for the argument. This
-makes implementation of the $audio_ioctl()$ much simpler than in the
-old driver scheme. For example, you may look up the function
-$cm206_audio_ioctl()$ in {\tt {cm206.c}} that should be updated with
-this documentation.
-
-An unimplemented ioctl should return $-ENOSYS$, but a harmless request
-(\eg, $CDROMSTART$) may be ignored by returning 0 (success). Other
-errors should be according to the standards, whatever they are. When
-an error is returned by the low-level driver, the \UCD\ tries whenever
-possible to return the error code to the calling program. (We may decide
-to sanitize the return value in $cdrom_ioctl()$ though, in order to
-guarantee a uniform interface to the audio-player software.)
-
-\subsection{$Int\ dev_ioctl(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, unsigned\ int\
- cmd, unsigned\ long\ arg)$}
-
-Some $ioctl$s seem to be specific to certain \cdrom\ drives. That is,
-they are introduced to service some capabilities of certain drives. In
-fact, there are 6 different $ioctl$s for reading data, either in some
-particular kind of format, or audio data. Not many drives support
-reading audio tracks as data, I believe this is because of protection
-of copyrights of artists. Moreover, I think that if audio-tracks are
-supported, it should be done through the VFS and not via $ioctl$s. A
-problem here could be the fact that audio-frames are 2352 bytes long,
-so either the audio-file-system should ask for 75264 bytes at once
-(the least common multiple of 512 and 2352), or the drivers should
-bend their backs to cope with this incoherence (to which I would be
-opposed). Furthermore, it is very difficult for the hardware to find
-the exact frame boundaries, since there are no synchronization headers
-in audio frames. Once these issues are resolved, this code should be
-standardized in \cdromc.
-
-Because there are so many $ioctl$s that seem to be introduced to
-satisfy certain drivers,\footnote{Is there software around that
- actually uses these? I'd be interested!} any `non-standard' $ioctl$s
-are routed through the call $dev_ioctl()$. In principle, `private'
-$ioctl$s should be numbered after the device's major number, and not
-the general \cdrom\ $ioctl$ number, {\tt {0x53}}. Currently the
-non-supported $ioctl$s are: {\it CDROMREADMODE1, CDROMREADMODE2,
- CDROMREADAUDIO, CDROMREADRAW, CDROMREADCOOKED, CDROMSEEK,
- CDROMPLAY\-BLK and CDROM\-READALL}.
-
-
-\subsection{\cdrom\ capabilities}
-\label{capability}
-
-Instead of just implementing some $ioctl$ calls, the interface in
-\cdromc\ supplies the possibility to indicate the {\em capabilities\/}
-of a \cdrom\ drive. This can be done by ORing any number of
-capability-constants that are defined in \cdromh\ at the registration
-phase. Currently, the capabilities are any of:
-$$
-\halign{$#$\ \hfil&$/*$ \rm# $*/$\hfil\cr
-CDC_CLOSE_TRAY& can close tray by software control\cr
-CDC_OPEN_TRAY& can open tray\cr
-CDC_LOCK& can lock and unlock the door\cr
-CDC_SELECT_SPEED& can select speed, in units of $\sim$150\,kB/s\cr
-CDC_SELECT_DISC& drive is juke-box\cr
-CDC_MULTI_SESSION& can read sessions $>\rm1$\cr
-CDC_MCN& can read Media Catalog Number\cr
-CDC_MEDIA_CHANGED& can report if disc has changed\cr
-CDC_PLAY_AUDIO& can perform audio-functions (play, pause, etc)\cr
-CDC_RESET& hard reset device\cr
-CDC_IOCTLS& driver has non-standard ioctls\cr
-CDC_DRIVE_STATUS& driver implements drive status\cr
-}
-$$
-The capability flag is declared $const$, to prevent drivers from
-accidentally tampering with the contents. The capability fags actually
-inform \cdromc\ of what the driver can do. If the drive found
-by the driver does not have the capability, is can be masked out by
-the $cdrom_device_info$ variable $mask$. For instance, the SCSI \cdrom\
-driver has implemented the code for loading and ejecting \cdrom's, and
-hence its corresponding flags in $capability$ will be set. But a SCSI
-\cdrom\ drive might be a caddy system, which can't load the tray, and
-hence for this drive the $cdrom_device_info$ struct will have set
-the $CDC_CLOSE_TRAY$ bit in $mask$.
-
-In the file \cdromc\ you will encounter many constructions of the type
-$$\it
-if\ (cdo\rightarrow capability \mathrel\& \mathord{\sim} cdi\rightarrow mask
- \mathrel{\&} CDC_<capability>) \ldots
-$$
-There is no $ioctl$ to set the mask\dots The reason is that
-I think it is better to control the {\em behavior\/} rather than the
-{\em capabilities}.
-
-\subsection{Options}
-
-A final flag register controls the {\em behavior\/} of the \cdrom\
-drives, in order to satisfy different users' wishes, hopefully
-independently of the ideas of the respective author who happened to
-have made the drive's support available to the \linux\ community. The
-current behavior options are:
-$$
-\halign{$#$\ \hfil&$/*$ \rm# $*/$\hfil\cr
-CDO_AUTO_CLOSE& try to close tray upon device $open()$\cr
-CDO_AUTO_EJECT& try to open tray on last device $close()$\cr
-CDO_USE_FFLAGS& use $file_pointer\rightarrow f_flags$ to indicate
- purpose for $open()$\cr
-CDO_LOCK& try to lock door if device is opened\cr
-CDO_CHECK_TYPE& ensure disc type is data if opened for data\cr
-}
-$$
-
-The initial value of this register is $CDO_AUTO_CLOSE \mathrel|
-CDO_USE_FFLAGS \mathrel| CDO_LOCK$, reflecting my own view on user
-interface and software standards. Before you protest, there are two
-new $ioctl$s implemented in \cdromc, that allow you to control the
-behavior by software. These are:
-$$
-\halign{$#$\ \hfil&$/*$ \rm# $*/$\hfil\cr
-CDROM_SET_OPTIONS& set options specified in $(int)\ arg$\cr
-CDROM_CLEAR_OPTIONS& clear options specified in $(int)\ arg$\cr
-}
-$$
-One option needs some more explanation: $CDO_USE_FFLAGS$. In the next
-newsection we explain what the need for this option is.
-
-A software package {\tt setcd}, available from the Debian distribution
-and {\tt sunsite.unc.edu}, allows user level control of these flags.
-
-\newsection{The need to know the purpose of opening the \cdrom\ device}
-
-Traditionally, Unix devices can be used in two different `modes',
-either by reading/writing to the device file, or by issuing
-controlling commands to the device, by the device's $ioctl()$
-call. The problem with \cdrom\ drives, is that they can be used for
-two entirely different purposes. One is to mount removable
-file systems, \cdrom s, the other is to play audio CD's. Audio commands
-are implemented entirely through $ioctl$s, presumably because the
-first implementation (SUN?) has been such. In principle there is
-nothing wrong with this, but a good control of the `CD player' demands
-that the device can {\em always\/} be opened in order to give the
-$ioctl$ commands, regardless of the state the drive is in.
-
-On the other hand, when used as a removable-media disc drive (what the
-original purpose of \cdrom s is) we would like to make sure that the
-disc drive is ready for operation upon opening the device. In the old
-scheme, some \cdrom\ drivers don't do any integrity checking, resulting
-in a number of i/o errors reported by the VFS to the kernel when an
-attempt for mounting a \cdrom\ on an empty drive occurs. This is not a
-particularly elegant way to find out that there is no \cdrom\ inserted;
-it more-or-less looks like the old IBM-PC trying to read an empty floppy
-drive for a couple of seconds, after which the system complains it
-can't read from it. Nowadays we can {\em sense\/} the existence of a
-removable medium in a drive, and we believe we should exploit that
-fact. An integrity check on opening of the device, that verifies the
-availability of a \cdrom\ and its correct type (data), would be
-desirable.
-
-These two ways of using a \cdrom\ drive, principally for data and
-secondarily for playing audio discs, have different demands for the
-behavior of the $open()$ call. Audio use simply wants to open the
-device in order to get a file handle which is needed for issuing
-$ioctl$ commands, while data use wants to open for correct and
-reliable data transfer. The only way user programs can indicate what
-their {\em purpose\/} of opening the device is, is through the $flags$
-parameter (see {\tt {open(2)}}). For \cdrom\ devices, these flags aren't
-implemented (some drivers implement checking for write-related flags,
-but this is not strictly necessary if the device file has correct
-permission flags). Most option flags simply don't make sense to
-\cdrom\ devices: $O_CREAT$, $O_NOCTTY$, $O_TRUNC$, $O_APPEND$, and
-$O_SYNC$ have no meaning to a \cdrom.
-
-We therefore propose to use the flag $O_NONBLOCK$ to indicate
-that the device is opened just for issuing $ioctl$
-commands. Strictly, the meaning of $O_NONBLOCK$ is that opening and
-subsequent calls to the device don't cause the calling process to
-wait. We could interpret this as ``don't wait until someone has
-inserted some valid data-\cdrom.'' Thus, our proposal of the
-implementation for the $open()$ call for \cdrom s is:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item If no other flags are set than $O_RDONLY$, the device is opened
-for data transfer, and the return value will be 0 only upon successful
-initialization of the transfer. The call may even induce some actions
-on the \cdrom, such as closing the tray.
-\item If the option flag $O_NONBLOCK$ is set, opening will always be
-successful, unless the whole device doesn't exist. The drive will take
-no actions whatsoever.
-\end{itemize}
-
-\subsection{And what about standards?}
-
-You might hesitate to accept this proposal as it comes from the
-\linux\ community, and not from some standardizing institute. What
-about SUN, SGI, HP and all those other Unix and hardware vendors?
-Well, these companies are in the lucky position that they generally
-control both the hardware and software of their supported products,
-and are large enough to set their own standard. They do not have to
-deal with a dozen or more different, competing hardware
-configurations.\footnote{Incidentally, I think that SUN's approach to
-mounting \cdrom s is very good in origin: under Solaris a
-volume-daemon automatically mounts a newly inserted \cdrom\ under {\tt
-{/cdrom/$<volume-name>$/}}. In my opinion they should have pushed this
-further and have {\em every\/} \cdrom\ on the local area network be
-mounted at the similar location, \ie, no matter in which particular
-machine you insert a \cdrom, it will always appear at the same
-position in the directory tree, on every system. When I wanted to
-implement such a user-program for \linux, I came across the
-differences in behavior of the various drivers, and the need for an
-$ioctl$ informing about media changes.}
-
-We believe that using $O_NONBLOCK$ to indicate that a device is being opened
-for $ioctl$ commands only can be easily introduced in the \linux\
-community. All the CD-player authors will have to be informed, we can
-even send in our own patches to the programs. The use of $O_NONBLOCK$
-has most likely no influence on the behavior of the CD-players on
-other operating systems than \linux. Finally, a user can always revert
-to old behavior by a call to $ioctl(file_descriptor, CDROM_CLEAR_OPTIONS,
-CDO_USE_FFLAGS)$.
-
-\subsection{The preferred strategy of $open()$}
-
-The routines in \cdromc\ are designed in such a way that run-time
-configuration of the behavior of \cdrom\ devices (of {\em any\/} type)
-can be carried out, by the $CDROM_SET/CLEAR_OPTIONS$ $ioctls$. Thus, various
-modes of operation can be set:
-\begin{description}
-\item[$CDO_AUTO_CLOSE \mathrel| CDO_USE_FFLAGS \mathrel| CDO_LOCK$] This
-is the default setting. (With $CDO_CHECK_TYPE$ it will be better, in the
-future.) If the device is not yet opened by any other process, and if
-the device is being opened for data ($O_NONBLOCK$ is not set) and the
-tray is found to be open, an attempt to close the tray is made. Then,
-it is verified that a disc is in the drive and, if $CDO_CHECK_TYPE$ is
-set, that it contains tracks of type `data mode 1.' Only if all tests
-are passed is the return value zero. The door is locked to prevent file
-system corruption. If the drive is opened for audio ($O_NONBLOCK$ is
-set), no actions are taken and a value of 0 will be returned.
-\item[$CDO_AUTO_CLOSE \mathrel| CDO_AUTO_EJECT \mathrel| CDO_LOCK$] This
-mimics the behavior of the current sbpcd-driver. The option flags are
-ignored, the tray is closed on the first open, if necessary. Similarly,
-the tray is opened on the last release, \ie, if a \cdrom\ is unmounted,
-it is automatically ejected, such that the user can replace it.
-\end{description}
-We hope that these option can convince everybody (both driver
-maintainers and user program developers) to adopt the new \cdrom\
-driver scheme and option flag interpretation.
-
-\newsection{Description of routines in \cdromc}
-
-Only a few routines in \cdromc\ are exported to the drivers. In this
-new section we will discuss these, as well as the functions that `take
-over' the \cdrom\ interface to the kernel. The header file belonging
-to \cdromc\ is called \cdromh. Formerly, some of the contents of this
-file were placed in the file {\tt {ucdrom.h}}, but this file has now been
-merged back into \cdromh.
-
-\subsection{$Struct\ file_operations\ cdrom_fops$}
-
-The contents of this structure were described in section~\ref{cdrom.c}.
-A pointer to this structure is assigned to the $fops$ field
-of the $struct gendisk$.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ register_cdrom( struct\ cdrom_device_info\ * cdi)$}
-
-This function is used in about the same way one registers $cdrom_fops$
-with the kernel, the device operations and information structures,
-as described in section~\ref{cdrom.c}, should be registered with the
-\UCD:
-$$
-register_cdrom(\&<device>_info));
-$$
-This function returns zero upon success, and non-zero upon
-failure. The structure $<device>_info$ should have a pointer to the
-driver's $<device>_dops$, as in
-$$
-\vbox{\halign{&$#$\hfil\cr
-struct\ &cdrom_device_info\ <device>_info = \{\cr
-& <device>_dops;\cr
-&\ldots\cr
-\}\cr
-}}$$
-Note that a driver must have one static structure, $<device>_dops$, while
-it may have as many structures $<device>_info$ as there are minor devices
-active. $Register_cdrom()$ builds a linked list from these.
-
-\subsection{$Void\ unregister_cdrom(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi)$}
-
-Unregistering device $cdi$ with minor number $MINOR(cdi\to dev)$ removes
-the minor device from the list. If it was the last registered minor for
-the low-level driver, this disconnects the registered device-operation
-routines from the \cdrom\ interface. This function returns zero upon
-success, and non-zero upon failure.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ cdrom_open(struct\ inode * ip, struct\ file * fp)$}
-
-This function is not called directly by the low-level drivers, it is
-listed in the standard $cdrom_fops$. If the VFS opens a file, this
-function becomes active. A strategy is implemented in this routine,
-taking care of all capabilities and options that are set in the
-$cdrom_device_ops$ connected to the device. Then, the program flow is
-transferred to the device_dependent $open()$ call.
-
-\subsection{$Void\ cdrom_release(struct\ inode *ip, struct\ file
-*fp)$}
-
-This function implements the reverse-logic of $cdrom_open()$, and then
-calls the device-dependent $release()$ routine. When the use-count has
-reached 0, the allocated buffers are flushed by calls to $sync_dev(dev)$
-and $invalidate_buffers(dev)$.
-
-
-\subsection{$Int\ cdrom_ioctl(struct\ inode *ip, struct\ file *fp,
-unsigned\ int\ cmd, unsigned\ long\ arg)$}
-\label{cdrom-ioctl}
-
-This function handles all the standard $ioctl$ requests for \cdrom\
-devices in a uniform way. The different calls fall into three
-categories: $ioctl$s that can be directly implemented by device
-operations, ones that are routed through the call $audio_ioctl()$, and
-the remaining ones, that are presumable device-dependent. Generally, a
-negative return value indicates an error.
-
-\subsubsection{Directly implemented $ioctl$s}
-\label{ioctl-direct}
-
-The following `old' \cdrom-$ioctl$s are implemented by directly
-calling device-operations in $cdrom_device_ops$, if implemented and
-not masked:
-\begin{description}
-\item[CDROMMULTISESSION] Requests the last session on a \cdrom.
-\item[CDROMEJECT] Open tray.
-\item[CDROMCLOSETRAY] Close tray.
-\item[CDROMEJECT_SW] If $arg\not=0$, set behavior to auto-close (close
-tray on first open) and auto-eject (eject on last release), otherwise
-set behavior to non-moving on $open()$ and $release()$ calls.
-\item[CDROM_GET_MCN] Get the Media Catalog Number from a CD.
-\end{description}
-
-\subsubsection{$Ioctl$s routed through $audio_ioctl()$}
-\label{ioctl-audio}
-
-The following set of $ioctl$s are all implemented through a call to
-the $cdrom_fops$ function $audio_ioctl()$. Memory checks and
-allocation are performed in $cdrom_ioctl()$, and also sanitization of
-address format ($CDROM_LBA$/$CDROM_MSF$) is done.
-\begin{description}
-\item[CDROMSUBCHNL] Get sub-channel data in argument $arg$ of type $struct\
-cdrom_subchnl *{}$.
-\item[CDROMREADTOCHDR] Read Table of Contents header, in $arg$ of type
-$struct\ cdrom_tochdr *{}$.
-\item[CDROMREADTOCENTRY] Read a Table of Contents entry in $arg$ and
-specified by $arg$ of type $struct\ cdrom_tocentry *{}$.
-\item[CDROMPLAYMSF] Play audio fragment specified in Minute, Second,
-Frame format, delimited by $arg$ of type $struct\ cdrom_msf *{}$.
-\item[CDROMPLAYTRKIND] Play audio fragment in track-index format
-delimited by $arg$ of type $struct\ \penalty-1000 cdrom_ti *{}$.
-\item[CDROMVOLCTRL] Set volume specified by $arg$ of type $struct\
-cdrom_volctrl *{}$.
-\item[CDROMVOLREAD] Read volume into by $arg$ of type $struct\
-cdrom_volctrl *{}$.
-\item[CDROMSTART] Spin up disc.
-\item[CDROMSTOP] Stop playback of audio fragment.
-\item[CDROMPAUSE] Pause playback of audio fragment.
-\item[CDROMRESUME] Resume playing.
-\end{description}
-
-\subsubsection{New $ioctl$s in \cdromc}
-
-The following $ioctl$s have been introduced to allow user programs to
-control the behavior of individual \cdrom\ devices. New $ioctl$
-commands can be identified by the underscores in their names.
-\begin{description}
-\item[CDROM_SET_OPTIONS] Set options specified by $arg$. Returns the
-option flag register after modification. Use $arg = \rm0$ for reading
-the current flags.
-\item[CDROM_CLEAR_OPTIONS] Clear options specified by $arg$. Returns
- the option flag register after modification.
-\item[CDROM_SELECT_SPEED] Select head-rate speed of disc specified as
- by $arg$ in units of standard cdrom speed (176\,kB/sec raw data or
- 150\,kB/sec file system data). The value 0 means `auto-select', \ie,
- play audio discs at real time and data discs at maximum speed. The value
- $arg$ is checked against the maximum head rate of the drive found in the
- $cdrom_dops$.
-\item[CDROM_SELECT_DISC] Select disc numbered $arg$ from a juke-box.
- First disc is numbered 0. The number $arg$ is checked against the
- maximum number of discs in the juke-box found in the $cdrom_dops$.
-\item[CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED] Returns 1 if a disc has been changed since
- the last call. Note that calls to $cdrom_media_changed$ by the VFS
- are treated by an independent queue, so both mechanisms will detect
- a media change once. For juke-boxes, an extra argument $arg$
- specifies the slot for which the information is given. The special
- value $CDSL_CURRENT$ requests that information about the currently
- selected slot be returned.
-\item[CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS] Returns the status of the drive by a call to
- $drive_status()$. Return values are defined in section~\ref{drive
- status}. Note that this call doesn't return information on the
- current playing activity of the drive; this can be polled through an
- $ioctl$ call to $CDROMSUBCHNL$. For juke-boxes, an extra argument
- $arg$ specifies the slot for which (possibly limited) information is
- given. The special value $CDSL_CURRENT$ requests that information
- about the currently selected slot be returned.
-\item[CDROM_DISC_STATUS] Returns the type of the disc currently in the
- drive. It should be viewed as a complement to $CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS$.
- This $ioctl$ can provide \emph {some} information about the current
- disc that is inserted in the drive. This functionality used to be
- implemented in the low level drivers, but is now carried out
- entirely in \UCD.
-
- The history of development of the CD's use as a carrier medium for
- various digital information has lead to many different disc types.
- This $ioctl$ is useful only in the case that CDs have \emph {only
- one} type of data on them. While this is often the case, it is
- also very common for CDs to have some tracks with data, and some
- tracks with audio. Because this is an existing interface, rather
- than fixing this interface by changing the assumptions it was made
- under, thereby breaking all user applications that use this
- function, the \UCD\ implements this $ioctl$ as follows: If the CD in
- question has audio tracks on it, and it has absolutely no CD-I, XA,
- or data tracks on it, it will be reported as $CDS_AUDIO$. If it has
- both audio and data tracks, it will return $CDS_MIXED$. If there
- are no audio tracks on the disc, and if the CD in question has any
- CD-I tracks on it, it will be reported as $CDS_XA_2_2$. Failing
- that, if the CD in question has any XA tracks on it, it will be
- reported as $CDS_XA_2_1$. Finally, if the CD in question has any
- data tracks on it, it will be reported as a data CD ($CDS_DATA_1$).
-
- This $ioctl$ can return:
- $$
- \halign{$#$\ \hfil&$/*$ \rm# $*/$\hfil\cr
- CDS_NO_INFO& no information available\cr
- CDS_NO_DISC& no disc is inserted, or tray is opened\cr
- CDS_AUDIO& Audio disc (2352 audio bytes/frame)\cr
- CDS_DATA_1& data disc, mode 1 (2048 user bytes/frame)\cr
- CDS_XA_2_1& mixed data (XA), mode 2, form 1 (2048 user bytes)\cr
- CDS_XA_2_2& mixed data (XA), mode 2, form 1 (2324 user bytes)\cr
- CDS_MIXED& mixed audio/data disc\cr
- }
- $$
- For some information concerning frame layout of the various disc
- types, see a recent version of \cdromh.
-
-\item[CDROM_CHANGER_NSLOTS] Returns the number of slots in a
- juke-box.
-\item[CDROMRESET] Reset the drive.
-\item[CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY] Returns the $capability$ flags for the
- drive. Refer to section \ref{capability} for more information on
- these flags.
-\item[CDROM_LOCKDOOR] Locks the door of the drive. $arg == \rm0$
- unlocks the door, any other value locks it.
-\item[CDROM_DEBUG] Turns on debugging info. Only root is allowed
- to do this. Same semantics as CDROM_LOCKDOOR.
-\end{description}
-
-\subsubsection{Device dependent $ioctl$s}
-
-Finally, all other $ioctl$s are passed to the function $dev_ioctl()$,
-if implemented. No memory allocation or verification is carried out.
-
-\newsection{How to update your driver}
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item Make a backup of your current driver.
-\item Get hold of the files \cdromc\ and \cdromh, they should be in
- the directory tree that came with this documentation.
-\item Make sure you include \cdromh.
-\item Change the 3rd argument of $register_blkdev$ from
-$\&<your-drive>_fops$ to $\&cdrom_fops$.
-\item Just after that line, add the following to register with the \UCD:
- $$register_cdrom(\&<your-drive>_info);$$
- Similarly, add a call to $unregister_cdrom()$ at the appropriate place.
-\item Copy an example of the device-operations $struct$ to your
- source, \eg, from {\tt {cm206.c}} $cm206_dops$, and change all
- entries to names corresponding to your driver, or names you just
- happen to like. If your driver doesn't support a certain function,
- make the entry $NULL$. At the entry $capability$ you should list all
- capabilities your driver currently supports. If your driver
- has a capability that is not listed, please send me a message.
-\item Copy the $cdrom_device_info$ declaration from the same example
- driver, and modify the entries according to your needs. If your
- driver dynamically determines the capabilities of the hardware, this
- structure should also be declared dynamically.
-\item Implement all functions in your $<device>_dops$ structure,
- according to prototypes listed in \cdromh, and specifications given
- in section~\ref{cdrom.c}. Most likely you have already implemented
- the code in a large part, and you will almost certainly need to adapt the
- prototype and return values.
-\item Rename your $<device>_ioctl()$ function to $audio_ioctl$ and
- change the prototype a little. Remove entries listed in the first
- part in section~\ref{cdrom-ioctl}, if your code was OK, these are
- just calls to the routines you adapted in the previous step.
-\item You may remove all remaining memory checking code in the
- $audio_ioctl()$ function that deals with audio commands (these are
- listed in the second part of section~\ref{cdrom-ioctl}). There is no
- need for memory allocation either, so most $case$s in the $switch$
- statement look similar to:
- $$
- case\ CDROMREADTOCENTRY\colon get_toc_entry\bigl((struct\
- cdrom_tocentry *{})\ arg\bigr);
- $$
-\item All remaining $ioctl$ cases must be moved to a separate
- function, $<device>_ioctl$, the device-dependent $ioctl$s. Note that
- memory checking and allocation must be kept in this code!
-\item Change the prototypes of $<device>_open()$ and
- $<device>_release()$, and remove any strategic code (\ie, tray
- movement, door locking, etc.).
-\item Try to recompile the drivers. We advise you to use modules, both
- for {\tt {cdrom.o}} and your driver, as debugging is much easier this
- way.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-\newsection{Thanks}
-
-Thanks to all the people involved. First, Erik Andersen, who has
-taken over the torch in maintaining \cdromc\ and integrating much
-\cdrom-related code in the 2.1-kernel. Thanks to Scott Snyder and
-Gerd Knorr, who were the first to implement this interface for SCSI
-and IDE-CD drivers and added many ideas for extension of the data
-structures relative to kernel~2.0. Further thanks to Heiko Ei{\ss}feldt,
-Thomas Quinot, Jon Tombs, Ken Pizzini, Eberhard M\"onkeberg and Andrew
-Kroll, the \linux\ \cdrom\ device driver developers who were kind
-enough to give suggestions and criticisms during the writing. Finally
-of course, I want to thank Linus Torvalds for making this possible in
-the first place.

- mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio
- mount -t cgroup -o blkio none /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio
-
-- Create two cgroups
- mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test1/ /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test2

-- Set weights of group test1 and test2
- echo 1000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test1/blkio.weight
- echo 500 > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test2/blkio.weight
-
-- Create two same size files (say 512MB each) on same disk (file1, file2) and
- launch two dd threads in different cgroup to read those files.
-
- sync
- echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
-
- dd if=/mnt/sdb/zerofile1 of=/dev/null &
- echo $! > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test1/tasks
- cat /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test1/tasks
-
- dd if=/mnt/sdb/zerofile2 of=/dev/null &
- echo $! > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test2/tasks
- cat /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test2/tasks
-
-- At macro level, first dd should finish first. To get more precise data, keep
- on looking at (with the help of script), at blkio.disk_time and
- blkio.disk_sectors files of both test1 and test2 groups. This will tell how
- much disk time (in milliseconds), each group got and how many sectors each
- group dispatched to the disk. We provide fairness in terms of disk time, so
- ideally io.disk_time of cgroups should be in proportion to the weight.

-=================
-/sys/block/<disk>/queue/iosched/slice_idle
-------------------------------------------
-On a faster hardware CFQ can be slow, especially with sequential workload.
-This happens because CFQ idles on a single queue and single queue might not
-drive deeper request queue depths to keep the storage busy. In such scenarios
-one can try setting slice_idle=0 and that would switch CFQ to IOPS
-(IO operations per second) mode on NCQ supporting hardware.
-
-That means CFQ will not idle between cfq queues of a cfq group and hence be
-able to driver higher queue depth and achieve better throughput. That also
-means that cfq provides fairness among groups in terms of IOPS and not in
-terms of disk time.
-
-/sys/block/<disk>/queue/iosched/group_idle
-------------------------------------------
-If one disables idling on individual cfq queues and cfq service trees by
-setting slice_idle=0, group_idle kicks in. That means CFQ will still idle
-on the group in an attempt to provide fairness among groups.
-
-By default group_idle is same as slice_idle and does not do anything if
-slice_idle is enabled.
-
-One can experience an overall throughput drop if you have created multiple
-groups and put applications in that group which are not driving enough
-IO to keep disk busy. In that case set group_idle=0, and CFQ will not idle
-on individual groups and throughput should improve.

- 9.6 Mount with other subsystems.
+9.6 Mount with other subsystems
+-------------------------------
+
Mounting with other subsystems is a good test because there is a
race and lock dependency with other cgroup subsystems.
- example)
- # mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -o cpuset,memory,cpu,devices
+ example::
+
+ # mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -o cpuset,memory,cpu,devices
and do task move, mkdir, rmdir etc...under this.
- 9.7 swapoff.
+9.7 swapoff
+-----------
+
Besides management of swap is one of complicated parts of memcg,
call path of swap-in at swapoff is not same as usual swap-in path..
It's worth to be tested explicitly.
- For example, test like following is good.
- (Shell-A)
- # mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -o memory
- # mkdir /cgroup/test
- # echo 40M > /cgroup/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
- # echo 0 > /cgroup/test/tasks
+ For example, test like following is good:
+
+ (Shell-A)::
+
+ # mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -o memory
+ # mkdir /cgroup/test
+ # echo 40M > /cgroup/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
+ # echo 0 > /cgroup/test/tasks
+
Run malloc(100M) program under this. You'll see 60M of swaps.
- (Shell-B)
- # move all tasks in /cgroup/test to /cgroup
- # /sbin/swapoff -a
- # rmdir /cgroup/test
- # kill malloc task.
+
+ (Shell-B)::
+
+ # move all tasks in /cgroup/test to /cgroup
+ # /sbin/swapoff -a
+ # rmdir /cgroup/test
+ # kill malloc task.
Of course, tmpfs v.s. swapoff test should be tested, too.
- 9.8 OOM-Killer
+9.8 OOM-Killer
+--------------
+
Out-of-memory caused by memcg's limit will kill tasks under
the memcg. When hierarchy is used, a task under hierarchy
will be killed by the kernel.
+
In this case, panic_on_oom shouldn't be invoked and tasks
in other groups shouldn't be killed.
It's not difficult to cause OOM under memcg as following.
- Case A) when you can swapoff
- #swapoff -a
- #echo 50M > /memory.limit_in_bytes
+
+ Case A) when you can swapoff::
+
+ #swapoff -a
+ #echo 50M > /memory.limit_in_bytes

- Case B) when you use mem+swap limitation.
- #echo 50M > memory.limit_in_bytes
- #echo 50M > memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes
+ Case B) when you use mem+swap limitation::
+
+ #echo 50M > memory.limit_in_bytes
+ #echo 50M > memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes
+
run 51M of malloc
- 9.9 Move charges at task migration
+9.9 Move charges at task migration

+
Charges associated with a task can be moved along with task migration.
- (Shell-A)
- #mkdir /cgroup/A
- #echo $$ >/cgroup/A/tasks
+ (Shell-A)::
+
+ #mkdir /cgroup/A

Memory controller implements memory thresholds using cgroups notification

- # a=
+ # echo $$ >/cgroup/A/tasks

+Crypto Engine
=============
Overview
--------
-The crypto engine API (CE), is a crypto queue manager.
+The crypto engine (CE) API is a crypto queue manager.
Requirement
-----------
-You have to put at start of your tfm_ctx the struct crypto_engine_ctx::
+You must put, at the start of your transform context your_tfm_ctx, the structure
+crypto_engine:
+
+::
- struct your_tfm_ctx {
- struct crypto_engine_ctx enginectx;
- ...
- };
+ struct your_tfm_ctx {
+ struct crypto_engine engine;
+ ...
+ };
-Why: Since CE manage only crypto_async_request, it cannot know the underlying
-request_type and so have access only on the TFM.
-So using container_of for accessing __ctx is impossible.
-Furthermore, the crypto engine cannot know the "struct your_tfm_ctx",
-so it must assume that crypto_engine_ctx is at start of it.
+The crypto engine only manages asynchronous requests in the form of
+crypto_async_request. It cannot know the underlying request type and thus only
+has access to the transform structure. It is not possible to access the context
+using container_of. In addition, the engine knows nothing about your
+structure "``struct your_tfm_ctx``". The engine assumes (requires) the placement
+of the known member ``struct crypto_engine`` at the beginning.
Order of operations
-------------------
-You have to obtain a struct crypto_engine via crypto_engine_alloc_init().
-And start it via crypto_engine_start().
-
-Before transferring any request, you have to fill the enginectx.
-- prepare_request: (taking a function pointer) If you need to do some processing before doing the request
-- unprepare_request: (taking a function pointer) Undoing what's done in prepare_request
-- do_one_request: (taking a function pointer) Do encryption for current request
-
-Note: that those three functions get the crypto_async_request associated with the received request.
-So your need to get the original request via container_of(areq, struct yourrequesttype_request, base);
-
-When your driver receive a crypto_request, you have to transfer it to
-the cryptoengine via one of:
-- crypto_transfer_ablkcipher_request_to_engine()
-- crypto_transfer_aead_request_to_engine()
-- crypto_transfer_akcipher_request_to_engine()
-- crypto_transfer_hash_request_to_engine()
-- crypto_transfer_skcipher_request_to_engine()
-
-At the end of the request process, a call to one of the following function is needed:
-- crypto_finalize_ablkcipher_request
-- crypto_finalize_aead_request
-- crypto_finalize_akcipher_request
-- crypto_finalize_hash_request
-- crypto_finalize_skcipher_request
+You are required to obtain a struct crypto_engine via ``crypto_engine_alloc_init()``.
+Start it via ``crypto_engine_start()``. When finished with your work, shut down the
+engine using ``crypto_engine_stop()`` and destroy the engine with
+``crypto_engine_exit()``.
+
+Before transferring any request, you have to fill the context enginectx by
+providing functions for the following:
+
+* ``prepare_crypt_hardware``: Called once before any prepare functions are
+ called.
+
+* ``unprepare_crypt_hardware``: Called once after all unprepare functions have
+ been called.
+
+* ``prepare_cipher_request``/``prepare_hash_request``: Called before each
+ corresponding request is performed. If some processing or other preparatory
+ work is required, do it here.
+
+* ``unprepare_cipher_request``/``unprepare_hash_request``: Called after each
+ request is handled. Clean up / undo what was done in the prepare function.
+
+* ``cipher_one_request``/``hash_one_request``: Handle the current request by
+ performing the operation.
+
+Note that these functions access the crypto_async_request structure
+associated with the received request. You are able to retrieve the original
+request by using:
+
+::
+
+ container_of(areq, struct yourrequesttype_request, base);
+
+When your driver receives a crypto_request, you must to transfer it to
+the crypto engine via one of:
+
+* crypto_transfer_ablkcipher_request_to_engine()
+
+* crypto_transfer_aead_request_to_engine()
+
+* crypto_transfer_akcipher_request_to_engine()
+
+* crypto_transfer_hash_request_to_engine()
+
+* crypto_transfer_skcipher_request_to_engine()
+
+At the end of the request process, a call to one of the following functions is needed:
+

+Test Module
+===========
+
+Kselftest tests the kernel from userspace. Sometimes things need
+testing from within the kernel, one method of doing this is to create a
+test module. We can tie the module into the kselftest framework by
+using a shell script test runner. ``kselftest_module.sh`` is designed
+to facilitate this process. There is also a header file provided to
+assist writing kernel modules that are for use with kselftest:
+
+- ``tools/testing/kselftest/kselftest_module.h``
+- ``tools/testing/kselftest/kselftest_module.sh``
+
+How to use
+----------
+
+Here we show the typical steps to create a test module and tie it into
+kselftest. We use kselftests for lib/ as an example.
+
+1. Create the test module
+
+2. Create the test script that will run (load/unload) the module
+ e.g. ``tools/testing/selftests/lib/printf.sh``
+
+3. Add line to config file e.g. ``tools/testing/selftests/lib/config``
+
+4. Add test script to makefile e.g. ``tools/testing/selftests/lib/Makefile``
+
+5. Verify it works:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ # Assumes you have booted a fresh build of this kernel tree
+ cd /path/to/linux/tree
+ make kselftest-merge
+ make modules
+ sudo make modules_install
+ make TARGETS=lib kselftest
+

+dm-dust
+=======
+
+This target emulates the behavior of bad sectors at arbitrary
+locations, and the ability to enable the emulation of the failures
+at an arbitrary time.
+
+This target behaves similarly to a linear target. At a given time,
+the user can send a message to the target to start failing read
+requests on specific blocks (to emulate the behavior of a hard disk
+drive with bad sectors).
+
+When the failure behavior is enabled (i.e.: when the output of
+"dmsetup status" displays "fail_read_on_bad_block"), reads of blocks
+in the "bad block list" will fail with EIO ("Input/output error").
+
+Writes of blocks in the "bad block list will result in the following:
+
+1. Remove the block from the "bad block list".
+2. Successfully complete the write.
+
+This emulates the "remapped sector" behavior of a drive with bad
+sectors.
+
+Normally, a drive that is encountering bad sectors will most likely
+encounter more bad sectors, at an unknown time or location.
+With dm-dust, the user can use the "addbadblock" and "removebadblock"
+messages to add arbitrary bad blocks at new locations, and the
+"enable" and "disable" messages to modulate the state of whether the
+configured "bad blocks" will be treated as bad, or bypassed.
+This allows the pre-writing of test data and metadata prior to
+simulating a "failure" event where bad sectors start to appear.
+
+Table parameters:
+-----------------
+<device_path> <offset> <blksz>
+
+Mandatory parameters:
+ <device_path>: path to the block device.
+ <offset>: offset to data area from start of device_path
+ <blksz>: block size in bytes
+ (minimum 512, maximum 1073741824, must be a power of 2)
+
+Usage instructions:
+-------------------
+
+First, find the size (in 512-byte sectors) of the device to be used:
+
+$ sudo blockdev --getsz /dev/vdb1
+33552384
+
+Create the dm-dust device:
+(For a device with a block size of 512 bytes)
+$ sudo dmsetup create dust1 --table '0 33552384 dust /dev/vdb1 0 512'
+
+(For a device with a block size of 4096 bytes)
+$ sudo dmsetup create dust1 --table '0 33552384 dust /dev/vdb1 0 4096'
+
+Check the status of the read behavior ("bypass" indicates that all I/O
+will be passed through to the underlying device):
+$ sudo dmsetup status dust1
+0 33552384 dust 252:17 bypass
+
+$ sudo dd if=/dev/mapper/dust1 of=/dev/null bs=512 count=128 iflag=direct
+128+0 records in
+128+0 records out
+
+$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/dust1 bs=512 count=128 oflag=direct
+128+0 records in
+128+0 records out
+
+Adding and removing bad blocks:
+-------------------------------
+
+At any time (i.e.: whether the device has the "bad block" emulation
+enabled or disabled), bad blocks may be added or removed from the
+device via the "addbadblock" and "removebadblock" messages:
+
+$ sudo dmsetup message dust1 0 addbadblock 60
+kernel: device-mapper: dust: badblock added at block 60
+
+$ sudo dmsetup message dust1 0 addbadblock 67
+kernel: device-mapper: dust: badblock added at block 67
+
+$ sudo dmsetup message dust1 0 addbadblock 72
+kernel: device-mapper: dust: badblock added at block 72
+
+These bad blocks will be stored in the "bad block list".
+While the device is in "bypass" mode, reads and writes will succeed:
+
+$ sudo dmsetup status dust1
+0 33552384 dust 252:17 bypass
+
+Enabling block read failures:
+-----------------------------
+
+To enable the "fail read on bad block" behavior, send the "enable" message:
+
+$ sudo dmsetup message dust1 0 enable
+kernel: device-mapper: dust: enabling read failures on bad sectors
+
+$ sudo dmsetup status dust1
+0 33552384 dust 252:17 fail_read_on_bad_block
+
+With the device in "fail read on bad block" mode, attempting to read a
+block will encounter an "Input/output error":
+
+$ sudo dd if=/dev/mapper/dust1 of=/dev/null bs=512 count=1 skip=67 iflag=direct
+dd: error reading '/dev/mapper/dust1': Input/output error
+0+0 records in
+0+0 records out
+0 bytes copied, 0.00040651 s, 0.0 kB/s
+
+...and writing to the bad blocks will remove the blocks from the list,
+therefore emulating the "remap" behavior of hard disk drives:
+
+$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/dust1 bs=512 count=128 oflag=direct
+128+0 records in
+128+0 records out
+
+kernel: device-mapper: dust: block 60 removed from badblocklist by write
+kernel: device-mapper: dust: block 67 removed from badblocklist by write
+kernel: device-mapper: dust: block 72 removed from badblocklist by write
+kernel: device-mapper: dust: block 87 removed from badblocklist by write
+
+Bad block add/remove error handling:
+------------------------------------
+
+Attempting to add a bad block that already exists in the list will
+result in an "Invalid argument" error, as well as a helpful message:
+
+$ sudo dmsetup message dust1 0 addbadblock 88
+device-mapper: message ioctl on dust1 failed: Invalid argument
+kernel: device-mapper: dust: block 88 already in badblocklist
+
+Attempting to remove a bad block that doesn't exist in the list will
+result in an "Invalid argument" error, as well as a helpful message:
+
+$ sudo dmsetup message dust1 0 removebadblock 87
+device-mapper: message ioctl on dust1 failed: Invalid argument
+kernel: device-mapper: dust: block 87 not found in badblocklist
+
+Counting the number of bad blocks in the bad block list:
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+To count the number of bad blocks configured in the device, run the
+following message command:
+
+$ sudo dmsetup message dust1 0 countbadblocks
+
+A message will print with the number of bad blocks currently
+configured on the device:
+
+kernel: device-mapper: dust: countbadblocks: 895 badblock(s) found
+
+Querying for specific bad blocks:
+---------------------------------
+
+To find out if a specific block is in the bad block list, run the
+following message command:
+
+$ sudo dmsetup message dust1 0 queryblock 72
+
+The following message will print if the block is in the list:
+device-mapper: dust: queryblock: block 72 found in badblocklist
+
+The following message will print if the block is in the list:
+device-mapper: dust: queryblock: block 72 not found in badblocklist
+
+The "queryblock" message command will work in both the "enabled"
+and "disabled" modes, allowing the verification of whether a block
+will be treated as "bad" without having to issue I/O to the device,
+or having to "enable" the bad block emulation.
+
+Clearing the bad block list:
+----------------------------
+
+To clear the bad block list (without needing to individually run
+a "removebadblock" message command for every block), run the
+following message command:
+
+$ sudo dmsetup message dust1 0 clearbadblocks
+
+After clearing the bad block list, the following message will appear:
+
+kernel: device-mapper: dust: clearbadblocks: badblocks cleared
+
+If there were no bad blocks to clear, the following message will
+appear:
+
+kernel: device-mapper: dust: clearbadblocks: no badblocks found
+
+Message commands list:
+----------------------
+
+Below is a list of the messages that can be sent to a dust device:
+
+Operations on blocks (requires a <blknum> argument):
+
+addbadblock <blknum>
+queryblock <blknum>
+removebadblock <blknum>
+
+...where <blknum> is a block number within range of the device
+ (corresponding to the block size of the device.)
+
+Single argument message commands:
+
+countbadblocks
+clearbadblocks
+disable
+enable
+quiet
+
+Device removal:
+---------------
+
+When finished, remove the device via the "dmsetup remove" command:
+
+$ sudo dmsetup remove dust1
+
+Quiet mode:
+-----------
+
+On test runs with many bad blocks, it may be desirable to avoid
+excessive logging (from bad blocks added, removed, or "remapped").
+This can be done by enabling "quiet mode" via the following message:
+
+$ sudo dmsetup message dust1 0 quiet
+
+This will suppress log messages from add / remove / removed by write
+operations. Log messages from "countbadblocks" or "queryblock"
+message commands will still print in quiet mode.
+
+The status of quiet mode can be seen by running "dmsetup status":
+
+$ sudo dmsetup status dust1
+0 33552384 dust 252:17 fail_read_on_bad_block quiet
+
+To disable quiet mode, send the "quiet" message again:
+
+$ sudo dmsetup message dust1 0 quiet
+
+$ sudo dmsetup status dust1
+0 33552384 dust 252:17 fail_read_on_bad_block verbose
+
+(The presence of "verbose" indicates normal logging.)
+
+"Why not...?"
+-------------
+
+scsi_debug has a "medium error" mode that can fail reads on one
+specified sector (sector 0x1234, hardcoded in the source code), but
+it uses RAM for the persistent storage, which drastically decreases
+the potential device size.
+
+dm-flakey fails all I/O from all block locations at a specified time
+frequency, and not a given point in time.
+
+When a bad sector occurs on a hard disk drive, reads to that sector
+are failed by the device, usually resulting in an error code of EIO
+("I/O error") or ENODATA ("No data available"). However, a write to
+the sector may succeed, and result in the sector becoming readable
+after the device controller no longer experiences errors reading the
+sector (or after a reallocation of the sector). However, there may
+be bad sectors that occur on the device in the future, in a different,
+unpredictable location.
+
+This target seeks to provide a device that can exhibit the behavior
+of a bad sector at a known sector location, at a known time, based
+on a large storage device (at least tens of gigabytes, not occupying
+system memory).

-
-Firmware implementing the PSCI functions described in ARM document number
-ARM DEN 0022A ("Power State Coordination Interface System Software on ARM

-operations.
-
-Issue A of the specification describes functions for CPU suspend, hotplug

-
-Functions are invoked by trapping to the privilege level of the PSCI
-firmware (specified as part of the binding below) and passing arguments
-in a manner similar to that specified by AAPCS:
-
- r0 => 32-bit Function ID / return value
- {r1 - r3} => Parameters
-
-Note that the immediate field of the trapping instruction must be set
-to #0.
-
-
-Main node required properties:
-
- - compatible : should contain at least one of:
-
- * "arm,psci" : For implementations complying to PSCI versions prior
- to 0.2.
- For these cases function IDs must be provided.
-
- * "arm,psci-0.2" : For implementations complying to PSCI 0.2.
- Function IDs are not required and should be ignored by
- an OS with PSCI 0.2 support, but are permitted to be
- present for compatibility with existing software when
- "arm,psci" is later in the compatible list.
-
- * "arm,psci-1.0" : For implementations complying to PSCI 1.0.
- PSCI 1.0 is backward compatible with PSCI 0.2 with
- minor specification updates, as defined in the PSCI
- specification[2].
-
- - method : The method of calling the PSCI firmware. Permitted
- values are:
-
- "smc" : SMC #0, with the register assignments specified
- in this binding.
-
- "hvc" : HVC #0, with the register assignments specified
- in this binding.
-
-Main node optional properties:
-
- - cpu_suspend : Function ID for CPU_SUSPEND operation
-
- - cpu_off : Function ID for CPU_OFF operation
-
- - cpu_on : Function ID for CPU_ON operation
-
- - migrate : Function ID for MIGRATE operation
-
-Device tree nodes that require usage of PSCI CPU_SUSPEND function (ie idle
-state nodes, as per bindings in [1]) must specify the following properties:
-
-- arm,psci-suspend-param
- Usage: Required for state nodes[1] if the corresponding
- idle-states node entry-method property is set
- to "psci".
- Value type: <u32>
- Definition: power_state parameter to pass to the PSCI
- suspend call.
-
-Example:
-
-Case 1: PSCI v0.1 only.
-
- psci {
- compatible = "arm,psci";
- method = "smc";
- cpu_suspend = <0x95c10000>;
- cpu_off = <0x95c10001>;
- cpu_on = <0x95c10002>;
- migrate = <0x95c10003>;
- };
-
-Case 2: PSCI v0.2 only
-
- psci {
- compatible = "arm,psci-0.2";
- method = "smc";
- };
-
-Case 3: PSCI v0.2 and PSCI v0.1.
-
- A DTB may provide IDs for use by kernels without PSCI 0.2 support,
- enabling firmware and hypervisors to support existing and new kernels.
- These IDs will be ignored by kernels with PSCI 0.2 support, which will
- use the standard PSCI 0.2 IDs exclusively.
-

+Allwinner Memory Bus (MBUS) controller
+
+The MBUS controller drives the MBUS that other devices in the SoC will
+use to perform DMA. It also has a register interface that allows to
+monitor and control the bandwidth and priorities for masters on that
+bus.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: Must be one of:
+ - allwinner,sun5i-a13-mbus
+ - reg: Offset and length of the register set for the controller
+ - clocks: phandle to the clock driving the controller
+ - dma-ranges: See section 2.3.9 of the DeviceTree Specification
+ - #interconnect-cells: Must be one, with the argument being the MBUS
+ port ID
+
+Each device having to perform their DMA through the MBUS must have the
+interconnects and interconnect-names properties set to the MBUS
+controller and with "dma-mem" as the interconnect name.
+
+Example:
+
+mbus: dram-controller@1c01000 {
+ compatible = "allwinner,sun5i-a13-mbus";
+ reg = <0x01c01000 0x1000>;

+ dma-ranges = <0x00000000 0x40000000 0x20000000>;
+ #interconnect-cells = <1>;
+};
+
+fe0: display-frontend@1e00000 {
+ compatible = "allwinner,sun5i-a13-display-frontend";
+ ...
+ interconnects = <&mbus 19>;
+ interconnect-names = "dma-mem";

+SiFive FU540 PRCI bindings
+
+On the FU540 family of SoCs, most system-wide clock and reset integration
+is via the PRCI IP block.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be "sifive,<chip>-prci". Only one value is
+ supported: "sifive,fu540-c000-prci"
+- reg: Should describe the PRCI's register target physical address region
+- clocks: Should point to the hfclk device tree node and the rtcclk
+ device tree node. The RTC clock here is not a time-of-day clock,
+ but is instead a high-stability clock source for system timers
+ and cycle counters.
+- #clock-cells: Should be <1>
+
+The clock consumer should specify the desired clock via the clock ID
+macros defined in include/dt-bindings/clock/sifive-fu540-prci.h.
+These macros begin with PRCI_CLK_.
+
+The hfclk and rtcclk nodes are required, and represent physical
+crystals or resonators located on the PCB. These nodes should be present
+underneath /, rather than /soc.
+
+Examples:
+
+/* under /, in PCB-specific DT data */
+hfclk: hfclk {
+ #clock-cells = <0>;
+ compatible = "fixed-clock";

+Device Tree Clock bindings for the Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC controlled using
+Zynq MPSoC firmware interface
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The clock controller is a h/w block of Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC clock
+tree. It reads required input clock frequencies from the devicetree and acts
+as clock provider for all clock consumers of PS clocks.
+
+See clock_bindings.txt for more information on the generic clock bindings.
+
+Required properties:
+ - #clock-cells: Must be 1
+ - compatible: Must contain: "xlnx,zynqmp-clk"
+ - clocks: List of clock specifiers which are external input
+ clocks to the given clock controller. Please refer
+ the next section to find the input clocks for a
+ given controller.
+ - clock-names: List of clock names which are exteral input clocks
+ to the given clock controller. Please refer to the
+ clock bindings for more details.
+
+Input clocks for zynqmp Ultrascale+ clock controller:
+
+The Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC has one primary and four alternative reference clock
+inputs. These required clock inputs are:
+ - pss_ref_clk (PS reference clock)
+ - video_clk (reference clock for video system )
+ - pss_alt_ref_clk (alternative PS reference clock)
+ - aux_ref_clk
+ - gt_crx_ref_clk (transceiver reference clock)
+
+The following strings are optional parameters to the 'clock-names' property in
+order to provide an optional (E)MIO clock source:
+ - swdt0_ext_clk
+ - swdt1_ext_clk
+ - gem0_emio_clk
+ - gem1_emio_clk
+ - gem2_emio_clk
+ - gem3_emio_clk
+ - mio_clk_XX # with XX = 00..77
+ - mio_clk_50_or_51 #for the mux clock to gem tsu from 50 or 51
+
+
+Output clocks are registered based on clock information received
+from firmware. Output clocks indexes are mentioned in
+include/dt-bindings/clock/xlnx-zynqmp-clk.h.

-Simple Framebuffer
-
-A simple frame-buffer describes a frame-buffer setup by firmware or
-the bootloader, with the assumption that the display hardware has already
-been set up to scan out from the memory pointed to by the reg property.
-
-Since simplefb nodes represent runtime information they must be sub-nodes of
-the chosen node (*). Simplefb nodes must be named "framebuffer@<address>".
-
-If the devicetree contains nodes for the display hardware used by a simplefb,
-then the simplefb node must contain a property called "display", which
-contains a phandle pointing to the primary display hw node, so that the OS
-knows which simplefb to disable when handing over control to a driver for the
-real hardware. The bindings for the hw nodes must specify which node is
-considered the primary node.
-
-It is advised to add display# aliases to help the OS determine how to number
-things. If display# aliases are used, then if the simplefb node contains a
-"display" property then the /aliases/display# path must point to the display
-hw node the "display" property points to, otherwise it must point directly
-to the simplefb node.
-
-If a simplefb node represents the preferred console for user interaction,
-then the chosen node's stdout-path property should point to it, or to the
-primary display hw node, as with display# aliases. If display aliases are
-used then it should be set to the alias instead.
-
-It is advised that devicetree files contain pre-filled, disabled framebuffer
-nodes, so that the firmware only needs to update the mode information and
-enable them. This way if e.g. later on support for more display clocks get
-added, the simplefb nodes will already contain this info and the firmware
-does not need to be updated.
-
-If pre-filled framebuffer nodes are used, the firmware may need extra
-information to find the right node. In that case an extra platform specific
-compatible and platform specific properties should be used and documented,
-see e.g. simple-framebuffer-sunxi.txt .
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible: "simple-framebuffer"
-- reg: Should contain the location and size of the framebuffer memory.
-- width: The width of the framebuffer in pixels.
-- height: The height of the framebuffer in pixels.
-- stride: The number of bytes in each line of the framebuffer.
-- format: The format of the framebuffer surface. Valid values are:
- - r5g6b5 (16-bit pixels, d[15:11]=r, d[10:5]=g, d[4:0]=b).
- - a8b8g8r8 (32-bit pixels, d[31:24]=a, d[23:16]=b, d[15:8]=g, d[7:0]=r).
-
-Optional properties:
-- clocks : List of clocks used by the framebuffer.
-- *-supply : Any number of regulators used by the framebuffer. These should
- be named according to the names in the device's design.
-
- The above resources are expected to already be configured correctly.
- The OS must ensure they are not modified or disabled while the simple
- framebuffer remains active.
-
-- display : phandle pointing to the primary display hardware node
-
-Example:
-
-aliases {
- display0 = &lcdc0;
-}
-
-chosen {
- framebuffer0: framebuffer@1d385000 {
- compatible = "simple-framebuffer";
- reg = <0x1d385000 (1600 * 1200 * 2)>;
- width = <1600>;
- height = <1200>;
- stride = <(1600 * 2)>;
- format = "r5g6b5";
- clocks = <&ahb_gates 36>, <&ahb_gates 43>, <&ahb_gates 44>;
- lcd-supply = <&reg_dc1sw>;
- display = <&lcdc0>;
- };
- stdout-path = "display0";
-};
-
-soc@1c00000 {
- lcdc0: lcdc@1c0c000 {
- compatible = "allwinner,sun4i-a10-lcdc";
- ...
- };
-};
-
-
-*) Older devicetree files may have a compatible = "simple-framebuffer" node
-in a different place, operating systems must first enumerate any compatible
-nodes found under chosen and then check for other compatible nodes.

+ST-Ericsson Multi Channel Display Engine MCDE
+
+The ST-Ericsson MCDE is a display controller with support for compositing
+and displaying several channels memory resident graphics data on DSI or
+LCD displays or bridges. It is used in the ST-Ericsson U8500 platform.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: must be:
+ "ste,mcde"
+- reg: register base for the main MCDE control registers, should be
+ 0x1000 in size
+- interrupts: the interrupt line for the MCDE
+- epod-supply: a phandle to the EPOD regulator
+- vana-supply: a phandle to the analog voltage regulator
+- clocks: an array of the MCDE clocks in this strict order:
+ MCDECLK (main MCDE clock), LCDCLK (LCD clock), PLLDSI
+ (HDMI clock), DSI0ESCLK (DSI0 energy save clock),
+ DSI1ESCLK (DSI1 energy save clock), DSI2ESCLK (DSI2 energy
+ save clock)
+- clock-names: must be the following array:
+ "mcde", "lcd", "hdmi"
+ to match the required clock inputs above.
+- #address-cells: should be <1> (for the DSI hosts that will be children)
+- #size-cells: should be <1> (for the DSI hosts that will be children)
+- ranges: this should always be stated
+
+Required subnodes:
+
+The devicetree must specify subnodes for the DSI host adapters.
+These must have the following characteristics:
+
+- compatible: must be:
+ "ste,mcde-dsi"
+- reg: must specify the register range for the DSI host
+- vana-supply: phandle to the VANA voltage regulator
+- clocks: phandles to the high speed and low power (energy save) clocks
+ the high speed clock is not present on the third (dsi2) block, so it
+ should only have the "lp" clock
+- clock-names: "hs" for the high speed clock and "lp" for the low power
+ (energy save) clock
+- #address-cells: should be <1>
+- #size-cells: should be <0>
+
+Display panels and bridges will appear as children on the DSI hosts, and
+the displays are connected to the DSI hosts using the common binding
+for video transmitter interfaces; see
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt
+
+If a DSI host is unused (not connected) it will have no children defined.

+* Arcx Anybus-S controller
+
+This chip communicates with the SoC over a parallel bus. It is
+expected that its Device Tree node is specified as the child of a node
+corresponding to the parallel bus used for communication.
+
+Required properties:
+--------------------
+
+ - compatible : The following chip-specific string:
+ "arcx,anybus-controller"
+
+ - reg : three areas:
+ index 0: bus memory area where the cpld registers are located.
+ index 1: bus memory area of the first host's dual-port ram.
+ index 2: bus memory area of the second host's dual-port ram.
+
+ - reset-gpios : the GPIO pin connected to the reset line of the controller.
+
+ - interrupts : two interrupts:
+ index 0: interrupt connected to the first host
+ index 1: interrupt connected to the second host
+ Generic interrupt client node bindings are described in
+ interrupt-controller/interrupts.txt
+
+Optional: use of subnodes
+-------------------------
+
+The card connected to a host may need additional properties. These can be
+specified in subnodes to the controller node.
+
+The subnodes are identified by the standard 'reg' property. Which information
+exactly can be specified depends on the bindings for the function driver
+for the subnode.
+
+Required controller node properties when using subnodes:
+- #address-cells: should be one.
+- #size-cells: should be zero.
+
+Required subnode properties:
+- reg: Must contain the host index of the card this subnode describes:
+ <0> for the first host on the controller
+ <1> for the second host on the controller
+ Note that only a single card can be plugged into a host, so the host
+ index uniquely describes the card location.

+ARM Mali Bifrost GPU
+====================

+
+Optional properties:
+
+- interrupt-names: Data ready line selection. Valid values are:
+ * DIO1
+ * DIO2
+ * DIO3
+ * DIO4
+ If this field is left empty, DIO1 is assigned as default data ready
+ signal.
+- reset-gpios: must be the device tree identifier of the RESET pin. As the line
+ is active low, it should be marked GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW.
+- clocks: phandle to the external clock. Should be set according to
+ "clock-names".
+ If this field is left empty together with the "clock-names" field, then
+ the internal clock is used.
+- clock-names: The name of the external clock to be used. Valid values are:
+ * sync: In sync mode, the internal clock is disabled and the frequency
+ of the external clock signal establishes therate of data
+ collection and processing. See Fig 14 and 15 in the datasheet.
+ The clock-frequency must be:
+ * 3000 to 4500 Hz for adis1649x devices.
+ * 700 to 2400 Hz for adis1648x devices.
+ * pps: In Pulse Per Second (PPS) Mode, the rate of data collection and
+ production is equal to the product of the external clock
+ frequency and the scale factor in the SYNC_SCALE register, see
+ Table 154 in the datasheet.
+ The clock-frequency must be:
+ * 1 to 128 Hz for adis1649x devices.
+ * This mode is not supported by adis1648x devices.
+ If this field is left empty together with the "clocks" field, then the
+ internal clock is used.
+- adi,ext-clk-pin: The DIOx line to be used as an external clock input.
+ Valid values are:
+ * DIO1
+ * DIO2
+ * DIO3
+ * DIO4
+ Each DIOx pin supports only one function at a time (data ready line
+ selection or external clock input). When a single pin has two
+ two assignments, the enable bit for the lower priority function
+ automatically resets to zero (disabling the lower priority function).
+ Data ready has highest priority.

+Texas Instruments K3 Interrupt Aggregator
+=========================================
+
+The Interrupt Aggregator (INTA) provides a centralized machine
+which handles the termination of system events to that they can
+be coherently processed by the host(s) in the system. A maximum
+of 64 events can be mapped to a single interrupt.
+
+
+ Interrupt Aggregator
+ +-----------------------------------------+
+ | Intmap VINT |
+ | +--------------+ +------------+ |
+ m ------>| | vint | bit | | 0 |.....|63| vint0 |
+ . | +--------------+ +------------+ | +------+
+ . | . . | | HOST |

+ . | . . | +------+
+ n ------>| +--------------+ +------------+ |
+ | | vint | bit | | 0 |.....|63| vintx |
+ | +--------------+ +------------+ |
+ | |
+ +-----------------------------------------+
+
+Configuration of these Intmap registers that maps global events to vint is done
+by a system controller (like the Device Memory and Security Controller on K3
+AM654 SoC). Driver should request the system controller to get the range
+of global events and vints assigned to the requesting host. Management
+of these requested resources should be handled by driver and requests
+system controller to map specific global event to vint, bit pair.
+
+Communication between the host processor running an OS and the system
+controller happens through a protocol called TI System Control Interface
+(TISCI protocol). For more details refer:
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/keystone/ti,sci.txt
+
+TISCI Interrupt Aggregator Node:
+-------------------------------
+- compatible: Must be "ti,sci-inta".
+- reg: Should contain registers location and length.
+- interrupt-controller: Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+- msi-controller: Identifies the node as an MSI controller.
+- interrupt-parent: phandle of irq parent.
+- ti,sci: Phandle to TI-SCI compatible System controller node.
+- ti,sci-dev-id: TISCI device ID of the Interrupt Aggregator.

+Texas Instruments K3 Interrupt Router
+=====================================
+
+The Interrupt Router (INTR) module provides a mechanism to mux M
+interrupt inputs to N interrupt outputs, where all M inputs are selectable
+to be driven per N output. An Interrupt Router can either handle edge triggered
+or level triggered interrupts and that is fixed in hardware.
+
+ Interrupt Router
+ +----------------------+
+ | Inputs Outputs |
+ +-------+ | +------+ +-----+ |
+ | GPIO |----------->| | irq0 | | 0 | | Host IRQ
+ +-------+ | +------+ +-----+ | controller
+ | . . | +-------+
+ +-------+ | . . |----->| IRQ |
+ | INTA |----------->| . . | +-------+
+ +-------+ | . +-----+ |
+ | +------+ | N | |
+ | | irqM | +-----+ |
+ | +------+ |
+ | |
+ +----------------------+
+
+There is one register per output (MUXCNTL_N) that controls the selection.
+Configuration of these MUXCNTL_N registers is done by a system controller
+(like the Device Memory and Security Controller on K3 AM654 SoC). System
+controller will keep track of the used and unused registers within the Router.
+Driver should request the system controller to get the range of GIC IRQs
+assigned to the requesting hosts. It is the drivers responsibility to keep
+track of Host IRQs.
+
+Communication between the host processor running an OS and the system
+controller happens through a protocol called TI System Control Interface
+(TISCI protocol). For more details refer:
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/keystone/ti,sci.txt
+
+TISCI Interrupt Router Node:
+----------------------------
+Required Properties:
+- compatible: Must be "ti,sci-intr".
+- ti,intr-trigger-type: Should be one of the following:
+ 1: If intr supports edge triggered interrupts.
+ 4: If intr supports level triggered interrupts.
+- interrupt-controller: Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+- #interrupt-cells: Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
+ interrupt source. The value should be 2.
+ First cell should contain the TISCI device ID of source
+ Second cell should contain the interrupt source offset
+ within the device.
+- ti,sci: Phandle to TI-SCI compatible System controller node.
+- ti,sci-dst-id: TISCI device ID of the destination IRQ controller.
+- ti,sci-rm-range-girq: Array of TISCI subtype ids representing the host irqs
+ assigned to this interrupt router. Each subtype id
+ corresponds to a range of host irqs.
+
+For more details on TISCI IRQ resource management refer:
+http://downloads.ti.com/tisci/esd/latest/2_tisci_msgs/rm/rm_irq.html
+
+Example:

+* Texas Instruments - lm3532 White LED driver with ambient light sensing
+capability.
+
+The LM3532 provides the 3 high-voltage, low-side current sinks. The device is
+programmable over an I2C-compatible interface and has independent
+current control for all three channels. The adaptive current regulation
+method allows for different LED currents in each current sink thus allowing
+for a wide variety of backlight and keypad applications.
+

+* Single Byte SPI LED Device Driver.
+
+The driver can be used for controllers with a very simple SPI protocol:
+- one LED is controlled by a single byte on MOSI
+- the value of the byte gives the brightness between two values (lowest to
+ highest)
+- no return value is necessary (no MISO signal)
+
+The value for lowest and highest brightness is dependent on the device and
+therefore on the compatible string.
+
+Depending on the compatible string some special functions (like hardware

+- ESPARSER is a bitstream parser that outputs to a VIFIFO. Further VDEC blocks
+then feed from this VIFIFO.
+- VDEC_1 can decode MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 part 2, MJPEG, H.263, H.264, VC-1.
+- VDEC_HEVC can decode HEVC and VP9.

+* Xilinx SDFEC(16nm) IP *
+
+The Soft Decision Forward Error Correction (SDFEC) Engine is a Hard IP block
+which provides high-throughput LDPC and Turbo Code implementations.
+The LDPC decode & encode functionality is capable of covering a range of
+customer specified Quasi-cyclic (QC) codes. The Turbo decode functionality
+principally covers codes used by LTE. The FEC Engine offers significant
+power and area savings versus implementations done in the FPGA fabric.

-*NOTE* on CD and WP polarity. To use common for all SD/MMC host controllers line
-polarity properties, we have to fix the meaning of the "normal" and "inverted"
-line levels. We choose to follow the SDHCI standard, which specifies both those
-lines as "active low." Therefore, using the "cd-inverted" property means, that
-the CD line is active high, i.e. it is high, when a card is inserted. Similar
-logic applies to the "wp-inverted" property.
-
-CD and WP lines can be implemented on the hardware in one of two ways: as GPIOs,
-specified in cd-gpios and wp-gpios properties, or as dedicated pins. Polarity of
-dedicated pins can be specified, using *-inverted properties. GPIO polarity can
-also be specified using the GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW flag. This creates an ambiguity
-in the latter case. We choose to use the XOR logic for GPIO CD and WP lines.
-This means, the two properties are "superimposed," for example leaving the
-GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW flag clear and specifying the respective *-inverted property
-property results in a double-inversion and actually means the "normal" line
-polarity is in effect.
-
-Optional SDIO properties:
-- keep-power-in-suspend: Preserves card power during a suspend/resume cycle
-- wakeup-source: Enables wake up of host system on SDIO IRQ assertion
- (Legacy property supported: "enable-sdio-wakeup")
-
-MMC power
----------
-
-Controllers may implement power control from both the connected cards and
-the IO signaling (for example to change to high-speed 1.8V signalling). If
-the system supports this, then the following two properties should point
-to valid regulator nodes:
-
-- vqmmc-supply: supply node for IO line power
-- vmmc-supply: supply node for card's power
-
-
-MMC power sequences:
---------------------
-
-System on chip designs may specify a specific MMC power sequence. To
-successfully detect an (e)MMC/SD/SDIO card, that power sequence must be
-maintained while initializing the card.
-
-Optional property:
-- mmc-pwrseq: phandle to the MMC power sequence node. See "mmc-pwrseq-*"
- for documentation of MMC power sequence bindings.
-
-
-Use of Function subnodes
-------------------------
-
-On embedded systems the cards connected to a host may need additional
-properties. These can be specified in subnodes to the host controller node.
-The subnodes are identified by the standard 'reg' property.
-Which information exactly can be specified depends on the bindings for the
-SDIO function driver for the subnode, as specified by the compatible string.
-
-Required host node properties when using function subnodes:
-- #address-cells: should be one. The cell is the slot id.
-- #size-cells: should be zero.
-
-Required function subnode properties:
-- reg: Must contain the SDIO function number of the function this subnode
- describes. A value of 0 denotes the memory SD function, values from
- 1 to 7 denote the SDIO functions.
-
-Optional function subnode properties:
-- compatible: name of SDIO function following generic names recommended practice
-
-
-Examples

-
-sdhci@ab000000 {
- compatible = "sdhci";
- reg = <0xab000000 0x200>;
- interrupts = <23>;
- bus-width = <4>;

- max-frequency = <50000000>;
- keep-power-in-suspend;

-Deprecated Binding
-------------------
-
-The deprecated binding makes use of a platform device to represent the
-switches. The switches themselves are not Linux devices, and make use
-of an MDIO bus for management.
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible : Should be "marvell,dsa"
-- #address-cells : Must be 2, first cell is the address on the MDIO bus
- and second cell is the address in the switch tree.
- Second cell is used only when cascading/chaining.
-- #size-cells : Must be 0
-- dsa,ethernet : Should be a phandle to a valid Ethernet device node
-- dsa,mii-bus : Should be a phandle to a valid MDIO bus device node
-
-Optional properties:
-- interrupts : property with a value describing the switch
- interrupt number (not supported by the driver)
-
-A DSA node can contain multiple switch chips which are therefore child nodes of
-the parent DSA node. The maximum number of allowed child nodes is 4
-(DSA_MAX_SWITCHES).
-Each of these switch child nodes should have the following required properties:
-
-- reg : Contains two fields. The first one describes the
- address on the MII bus. The second is the switch
- number that must be unique in cascaded configurations
-- #address-cells : Must be 1
-- #size-cells : Must be 0
-
-A switch child node has the following optional property:
-
-- eeprom-length : Set to the length of an EEPROM connected to the
- switch. Must be set if the switch can not detect
- the presence and/or size of a connected EEPROM,
- otherwise optional.
-
-A switch may have multiple "port" children nodes
-
-Each port children node must have the following mandatory properties:
-- reg : Describes the port address in the switch
-- label : Describes the label associated with this port, special
- labels are "cpu" to indicate a CPU port and "dsa" to
- indicate an uplink/downlink port.
-
-Note that a port labelled "dsa" will imply checking for the uplink phandle
-described below.
-
-Optional property:
-- link : Should be a list of phandles to another switch's DSA port.
- This property is only used when switches are being
- chained/cascaded together. This port is used as outgoing port
- towards the phandle port, which can be more than one hop away.
-
-- phy-handle : Phandle to a PHY on an external MDIO bus, not the
- switch internal one. See
- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt
- for details.
-
-- phy-mode : String representing the connection to the designated
- PHY node specified by the 'phy-handle' property. See
- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt
- for details.
-
-- mii-bus : Should be a phandle to a valid MDIO bus device node.
- This mii-bus will be used in preference to the
- global dsa,mii-bus defined above, for this switch.
-
-Optional subnodes:
-- fixed-link : Fixed-link subnode describing a link to a non-MDIO
- managed entity. See
- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/fixed-link.txt
- for details.

+NXP SJA1105 switch driver
+=========================
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible:
+ Must be one of:
+ - "nxp,sja1105e"
+ - "nxp,sja1105t"
+ - "nxp,sja1105p"
+ - "nxp,sja1105q"
+ - "nxp,sja1105r"
+ - "nxp,sja1105s"
+
+ Although the device ID could be detected at runtime, explicit bindings
+ are required in order to be able to statically check their validity.
+ For example, SGMII can only be specified on port 4 of R and S devices,
+ and the non-SGMII devices, while pin-compatible, are not equal in terms
+ of support for RGMII internal delays (supported on P/Q/R/S, but not on
+ E/T).
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- sja1105,role-mac:
+- sja1105,role-phy:
+ Boolean properties that can be assigned under each port node. By
+ default (unless otherwise specified) a port is configured as MAC if it
+ is driving a PHY (phy-handle is present) or as PHY if it is PHY-less
+ (fixed-link specified, presumably because it is connected to a MAC).
+ The effect of this property (in either its implicit or explicit form)
+ is:
+ - In the case of MII or RMII it specifies whether the SJA1105 port is a
+ clock source or sink for this interface (not applicable for RGMII
+ where there is a Tx and an Rx clock).
+ - In the case of RGMII it affects the behavior regarding internal
+ delays:
+ 1. If sja1105,role-mac is specified, and the phy-mode property is one
+ of "rgmii-id", "rgmii-txid" or "rgmii-rxid", then the entity
+ designated to apply the delay/clock skew necessary for RGMII
+ is the PHY. The SJA1105 MAC does not apply any internal delays.
+ 2. If sja1105,role-phy is specified, and the phy-mode property is one
+ of the above, the designated entity to apply the internal delays
+ is the SJA1105 MAC (if hardware-supported). This is only supported
+ by the second-generation (P/Q/R/S) hardware. On a first-generation
+ E or T device, it is an error to specify an RGMII phy-mode other
+ than "rgmii" for a port that is in fixed-link mode. In that case,
+ the clock skew must either be added by the MAC at the other end of
+ the fixed-link, or by PCB serpentine traces on the board.
+ These properties are required, for example, in the case where SJA1105
+ ports are at both ends of a MII/RMII PHY-less setup. One end would need
+ to have sja1105,role-mac, while the other sja1105,role-phy.
+
+See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/dsa/dsa.txt for the list of standard
+DSA required and optional properties.
+
+Other observations
+------------------
+
+The SJA1105 SPI interface requires a CS-to-CLK time (t2 in UM10944) of at least
+one half of t_CLK. At an SPI frequency of 1MHz, this means a minimum
+cs_sck_delay of 500ns. Ensuring that this SPI timing requirement is observed
+depends on the SPI bus master driver.

- the maximum frame size (there's contradiction in the Devicetree
- Specification).
-- phy-mode: string, operation mode of the PHY interface. This is now a de-facto
- standard property; supported values are:

-Fixed link Device Tree binding
-------------------------------
-
-Some Ethernet MACs have a "fixed link", and are not connected to a
-normal MDIO-managed PHY device. For those situations, a Device Tree
-binding allows to describe a "fixed link".
-
-Such a fixed link situation is described by creating a 'fixed-link'
-sub-node of the Ethernet MAC device node, with the following
-properties:
-
-* 'speed' (integer, mandatory), to indicate the link speed. Accepted
- values are 10, 100 and 1000
-* 'full-duplex' (boolean, optional), to indicate that full duplex is
- used. When absent, half duplex is assumed.
-* 'pause' (boolean, optional), to indicate that pause should be
- enabled.
-* 'asym-pause' (boolean, optional), to indicate that asym_pause should
- be enabled.
-* 'link-gpios' ('gpio-list', optional), to indicate if a gpio can be read
- to determine if the link is up.
-
-Old, deprecated 'fixed-link' binding:
-
-* A 'fixed-link' property in the Ethernet MAC node, with 5 cells, of the
- form <a b c d e> with the following accepted values:
- - a: emulated PHY ID, choose any but but unique to the all specified
- fixed-links, from 0 to 31
- - b: duplex configuration: 0 for half duplex, 1 for full duplex
- - c: link speed in Mbits/sec, accepted values are: 10, 100 and 1000
- - d: pause configuration: 0 for no pause, 1 for pause
- - e: asymmetric pause configuration: 0 for no asymmetric pause, 1 for
- asymmetric pause
-
-Examples:
-
-ethernet@0 {
- ...
- fixed-link {
- speed = <1000>;
- full-duplex;
- };
- ...
-};
-
-ethernet@1 {

- "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22" or "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c45" for
- PHYs that implement IEEE802.3 clause 22 or IEEE802.3 clause 45
- specifications. If neither of these are specified, the default is to
- assume clause 22.
-
- If the PHY reports an incorrect ID (or none at all) then the
- "compatible" list may contain an entry with the correct PHY ID in the
- form: "ethernet-phy-idAAAA.BBBB" where
- AAAA - The value of the 16 bit Phy Identifier 1 register as
- 4 hex digits. This is the chip vendor OUI bits 3:18
- BBBB - The value of the 16 bit Phy Identifier 2 register as
- 4 hex digits. This is the chip vendor OUI bits 19:24,
- followed by 10 bits of a vendor specific ID.
-
- The compatible list should not contain other values than those
- listed here.
-
-- max-speed: Maximum PHY supported speed (10, 100, 1000...)
-
-- broken-turn-around: If set, indicates the PHY device does not correctly
- release the turn around line low at the end of a MDIO transaction.
-
-- enet-phy-lane-swap: If set, indicates the PHY will swap the TX/RX lanes to
- compensate for the board being designed with the lanes swapped.
-
-- enet-phy-lane-no-swap: If set, indicates that PHY will disable swap of the
- TX/RX lanes. This property allows the PHY to work correcly after e.g. wrong
- bootstrap configuration caused by issues in PCB layout design.

- Mark the corresponding energy efficient ethernet mode as broken and
- request the ethernet to stop advertising it.
-
-- phy-is-integrated: If set, indicates that the PHY is integrated into the same
- physical package as the Ethernet MAC. If needed, muxers should be configured
- to ensure the integrated PHY is used. The absence of this property indicates
- the muxers should be configured so that the external PHY is used.

+* Wiznet w5x00
+
+This is a standalone 10/100 MBit Ethernet controller with SPI interface.
+
+For each device connected to a SPI bus, define a child node within
+the SPI master node.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be one of the following strings:
+ "wiznet,w5100"
+ "wiznet,w5200"
+ "wiznet,w5500"
+- reg: Specify the SPI chip select the chip is wired to.
+- interrupts: Specify the interrupt index within the interrupt controller (referred
+ to above in interrupt-parent) and interrupt type. w5x00 natively
+ generates falling edge interrupts, however, additional board logic
+ might invert the signal.
+- pinctrl-names: List of assigned state names, see pinctrl binding documentation.
+- pinctrl-0: List of phandles to configure the GPIO pin used as interrupt line,
+ see also generic and your platform specific pinctrl binding
+ documentation.
+
+Optional properties:
+- spi-max-frequency: Maximum frequency of the SPI bus when accessing the w5500.
+ According to the w5500 datasheet, the chip allows a maximum of 80 MHz, however,
+ board designs may need to limit this value.
+- local-mac-address: See ethernet.txt in the same directory.
+
+
+Example (for Raspberry Pi with pin control stuff for GPIO irq):
+
+&spi {
+ ethernet@0: w5500@0 {
+ compatible = "wiznet,w5500";
+ reg = <0>;
+ pinctrl-names = "default";

+PCI-PCI Bridge properties
+-------------------------
+
+PCIe root ports and switch ports may be described explicitly in the device
+tree, as children of the host bridge node. Even though those devices are
+discoverable by probing, it might be necessary to describe properties that
+aren't provided by standard PCIe capabilities.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- reg:
+ Identifies the PCI-PCI bridge. As defined in the IEEE Std 1275-1994
+ document, it is a five-cell address encoded as (phys.hi phys.mid
+ phys.lo size.hi size.lo). phys.hi should contain the device's BDF as
+ 0b00000000 bbbbbbbb dddddfff 00000000. The other cells should be zero.
+
+ The bus number is defined by firmware, through the standard bridge
+ configuration mechanism. If this port is a switch port, then firmware
+ allocates the bus number and writes it into the Secondary Bus Number
+ register of the bridge directly above this port. Otherwise, the bus
+ number of a root port is the first number in the bus-range property,
+ defaulting to zero.
+
+ If firmware leaves the ARI Forwarding Enable bit set in the bridge
+ above this port, then phys.hi contains the 8-bit function number as
+ 0b00000000 bbbbbbbb ffffffff 00000000. Note that the PCIe specification
+ recommends that firmware only leaves ARI enabled when it knows that the
+ OS is ARI-aware.
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- external-facing:
+ When present, the port is external-facing. All bridges and endpoints
+ downstream of this port are external to the machine. The OS can, for
+ example, use this information to identify devices that cannot be
+ trusted with relaxed DMA protection, as users could easily attach
+ malicious devices to this port.
+
+Example:
+
+pcie@10000000 {
+ compatible = "pci-host-ecam-generic";
+ ...
+ pcie@0008 {
+ /* Root port 00:01.0 is external-facing */

+
+Please refer to pinctrl-bindings.txt in this directory for details of the

+phrase "pin configuration node".
+
+The pin configuration nodes act as a container for an arbitrary number of
+subnodes. Each of these subnodes represents some desired configuration for a
+pin, a group, or a list of pins or groups. This configuration for BM1880 SoC
+includes only pinmux as there is no pinconf support available in SoC.
+
+Each configuration node can consist of multiple nodes describing the pinmux
+options. The name of each subnode is not important; all subnodes should be
+enumerated and processed purely based on their content.
+

+Cirrus Logic Lochnagar Audio Development Board
+
+Lochnagar is an evaluation and development board for Cirrus Logic
+Smart CODEC and Amp devices. It allows the connection of most Cirrus
+Logic devices on mini-cards, as well as allowing connection of
+various application processor systems to provide a full evaluation
+platform. Audio system topology, clocking and power can all be
+controlled through the Lochnagar, allowing the device under test
+to be used in a variety of possible use cases.
+
+This binding document describes the binding for the pinctrl portion
+of the driver.
+
+Also see these documents for generic binding information:
+ [1] GPIO : ../gpio/gpio.txt
+ [2] Pinctrl: ../pinctrl/pinctrl-bindings.txt
+
+And these for relevant defines:

+pinctrl groups available on the machine. Each subnode will list the
+pins it needs, and how they should be configured, with regard to muxer
+configuration, pullups, drive strength, input enable/disable and input schmitt.
+
+ node {
+ pinmux = <PIN_NUMBER_PINMUX>;
+ GENERIC_PINCONFIG;
+ };
+
+Required properties:
+- pinmux: integer array, represents gpio pin number and mux setting.
+ Supported pin number and mux varies for different SoCs, and are defined
+ as macros in boot/dts/<soc>-pinfunc.h directly.
+
+Optional properties:
+- GENERIC_PINCONFIG: is the generic pinconfig options to use, bias-disable,
+ bias-pull-down, bias-pull-up, input-enable, input-disable, output-low,
+ output-high, input-schmitt-enable, input-schmitt-disable
+ and drive-strength are valid.
+
+ Some special pins have extra pull up strength, there are R0 and R1 pull-up
+ resistors available, but for user, it's only need to set R1R0 as 00, 01,
+ 10 or 11. So It needs config "mediatek,pull-up-adv" or
+ "mediatek,pull-down-adv" to support arguments for those special pins.
+ Valid arguments are from 0 to 3.
+
+ mediatek,tdsel: An integer describing the steps for output level shifter
+ duty cycle when asserted (high pulse width adjustment). Valid arguments
+ are from 0 to 15.
+ mediatek,rdsel: An integer describing the steps for input level shifter
+ duty cycle when asserted (high pulse width adjustment). Valid arguments
+ are from 0 to 63.
+
+ When config drive-strength, it can support some arguments, such as
+ MTK_DRIVE_4mA, MTK_DRIVE_6mA, etc. See dt-bindings/pinctrl/mt65xx.h.
+ It can only support 2/4/6/8/10/12/14/16mA in mt8183.
+ For I2C pins, there are existing generic driving setup and the specific
+ driving setup. I2C pins can only support 2/4/6/8/10/12/14/16mA driving
+ adjustment in generic driving setup. But in specific driving setup,
+ they can support 0.125/0.25/0.5/1mA adjustment. If we enable specific
+ driving setup for I2C pins, the existing generic driving setup will be
+ disabled. For some special features, we need the I2C pins specific
+ driving setup. The specific driving setup is controlled by E1E0EN.
+ So we need add extra vendor driving preperty instead of
+ the generic driving property.
+ We can add "mediatek,drive-strength-adv = <XXX>;" to describe the specific
+ driving setup property. "XXX" means the value of E1E0EN. EN is 0 or 1.
+ It is used to enable or disable the specific driving setup.
+ E1E0 is used to describe the detail strength specification of the I2C pin.
+ When E1=0/E0=0, the strength is 0.125mA.
+ When E1=0/E0=1, the strength is 0.25mA.
+ When E1=1/E0=0, the strength is 0.5mA.
+ When E1=1/E0=1, the strength is 1mA.
+ So the valid arguments of "mediatek,drive-strength-adv" are from 0 to 7.
+
+Examples:
+
+#include "mt8183-pinfunc.h"
+
+...
+{
+ pio: pinctrl@10005000 {
+ compatible = "mediatek,mt8183-pinctrl";

+STMicroelectronics Multi-Function eXpander (STMFX) GPIO expander bindings
+
+ST Multi-Function eXpander (STMFX) offers up to 24 GPIOs expansion.
+Please refer to ../mfd/stmfx.txt for STMFX Core bindings.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: should be "st,stmfx-0300-pinctrl".
+- #gpio-cells: should be <2>, the first cell is the GPIO number and the second
+ cell is the gpio flags in accordance with <dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h>.
+- gpio-controller: marks the device as a GPIO controller.
+- #interrupt-cells: should be <2>, the first cell is the GPIO number and the
+ second cell is the interrupt flags in accordance with
+ <dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/irq.h>.
+- interrupt-controller: marks the device as an interrupt controller.
+- gpio-ranges: specifies the mapping between gpio controller and pin
+ controller pins. Check "Concerning gpio-ranges property" below.
+Please refer to ../gpio/gpio.txt.
+
+Please refer to pinctrl-bindings.txt for pin configuration.
+
+Required properties for pin configuration sub-nodes:
+- pins: list of pins to which the configuration applies.
+
+Optional properties for pin configuration sub-nodes (pinconf-generic ones):
+- bias-disable: disable any bias on the pin.
+- bias-pull-up: the pin will be pulled up.
+- bias-pull-pin-default: use the pin-default pull state.
+- bias-pull-down: the pin will be pulled down.
+- drive-open-drain: the pin will be driven with open drain.
+- drive-push-pull: the pin will be driven actively high and low.
+- output-high: the pin will be configured as an output driving high level.
+- output-low: the pin will be configured as an output driving low level.
+
+Note that STMFX pins[15:0] are called "gpio[15:0]", and STMFX pins[23:16] are
+called "agpio[7:0]". Example, to refer to pin 18 of STMFX, use "agpio2".
+
+Concerning gpio-ranges property:
+- if all STMFX pins[24:0] are available (no other STMFX function in use), you
+ should use gpio-ranges = <&stmfx_pinctrl 0 0 24>;
+- if agpio[3:0] are not available (STMFX Touchscreen function in use), you
+ should use gpio-ranges = <&stmfx_pinctrl 0 0 16>, <&stmfx_pinctrl 20 20 4>;
+- if agpio[7:4] are not available (STMFX IDD function in use), you
+ should use gpio-ranges = <&stmfx_pinctrl 0 0 20>;
+
+
+Example:
+
+ stmfx: stmfx@42 {
+ ...
+
+ stmfx_pinctrl: stmfx-pin-controller {

+SiFive PWM controller
+
+Unlike most other PWM controllers, the SiFive PWM controller currently only
+supports one period for all channels in the PWM. All PWMs need to run at
+the same period. The period also has significant restrictions on the values
+it can achieve, which the driver rounds to the nearest achievable period.
+PWM RTL that corresponds to the IP block version numbers can be found
+here:
+
+https://github.com/sifive/sifive-blocks/tree/master/src/main/scala/devices/pwm
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be "sifive,<chip>-pwm" and "sifive,pwm<version>".
+ Supported compatible strings are: "sifive,fu540-c000-pwm" for the SiFive
+ PWM v0 as integrated onto the SiFive FU540 chip, and "sifive,pwm0" for the
+ SiFive PWM v0 IP block with no chip integration tweaks.
+ Please refer to sifive-blocks-ip-versioning.txt for details.
+- reg: physical base address and length of the controller's registers
+- clocks: Should contain a clock identifier for the PWM's parent clock.
+- #pwm-cells: Should be 3. See pwm.txt in this directory
+ for a description of the cell format.
+- interrupts: one interrupt per PWM channel
+
+Examples:
+
+pwm: pwm@10020000 {
+ compatible = "sifive,fu540-c000-pwm", "sifive,pwm0";
+ reg = <0x0 0x10020000 0x0 0x1000>;

-Optional properties:
-- regulator-name: A string used as a descriptive name for regulator outputs
-- regulator-min-microvolt: smallest voltage consumers may set
-- regulator-max-microvolt: largest voltage consumers may set
-- regulator-microvolt-offset: Offset applied to voltages to compensate for voltage drops
-- regulator-min-microamp: smallest current consumers may set
-- regulator-max-microamp: largest current consumers may set
-- regulator-input-current-limit-microamp: maximum input current regulator allows
-- regulator-always-on: boolean, regulator should never be disabled
-- regulator-boot-on: bootloader/firmware enabled regulator
-- regulator-allow-bypass: allow the regulator to go into bypass mode
-- regulator-allow-set-load: allow the regulator performance level to be configured
-- <name>-supply: phandle to the parent supply/regulator node
-- regulator-ramp-delay: ramp delay for regulator(in uV/us)
- For hardware which supports disabling ramp rate, it should be explicitly
- initialised to zero (regulator-ramp-delay = <0>) for disabling ramp delay.
-- regulator-enable-ramp-delay: The time taken, in microseconds, for the supply
- rail to reach the target voltage, plus/minus whatever tolerance the board
- design requires. This property describes the total system ramp time
- required due to the combination of internal ramping of the regulator itself,
- and board design issues such as trace capacitance and load on the supply.
-- regulator-settling-time-us: Settling time, in microseconds, for voltage
- change if regulator have the constant time for any level voltage change.
- This is useful when regulator have exponential voltage change.
-- regulator-settling-time-up-us: Settling time, in microseconds, for voltage
- increase if the regulator needs a constant time to settle after voltage
- increases of any level. This is useful for regulators with exponential
- voltage changes.
-- regulator-settling-time-down-us: Settling time, in microseconds, for voltage
- decrease if the regulator needs a constant time to settle after voltage
- decreases of any level. This is useful for regulators with exponential
- voltage changes.
-- regulator-soft-start: Enable soft start so that voltage ramps slowly
-- regulator-state-standby sub-root node for Standby mode
- : equivalent with standby Linux sleep state, which provides energy savings
- with a relatively quick transition back time.
-- regulator-state-mem sub-root node for Suspend-to-RAM mode
- : suspend to memory, the device goes to sleep, but all data stored in memory,
- only some external interrupt can wake the device.
-- regulator-state-disk sub-root node for Suspend-to-DISK mode
- : suspend to disk, this state operates similarly to Suspend-to-RAM,
- but includes a final step of writing memory contents to disk.
-- regulator-state-[mem/disk/standby] node has following common properties:
- - regulator-on-in-suspend: regulator should be on in suspend state.
- - regulator-off-in-suspend: regulator should be off in suspend state.
- - regulator-suspend-min-microvolt: minimum voltage may be set in
- suspend state.
- - regulator-suspend-max-microvolt: maximum voltage may be set in
- suspend state.
- - regulator-suspend-microvolt: the default voltage which regulator
- would be set in suspend. This property is now deprecated, instead
- setting voltage for suspend mode via the API which regulator
- driver provides is recommended.
- - regulator-changeable-in-suspend: whether the default voltage and
- the regulator on/off in suspend can be changed in runtime.
- - regulator-mode: operating mode in the given suspend state.
- The set of possible operating modes depends on the capabilities of
- every hardware so the valid modes are documented on each regulator
- device tree binding document.
-- regulator-initial-mode: initial operating mode. The set of possible operating
- modes depends on the capabilities of every hardware so each device binding
- documentation explains which values the regulator supports.
-- regulator-allowed-modes: list of operating modes that software is allowed to
- configure for the regulator at run-time. Elements may be specified in any
- order. The set of possible operating modes depends on the capabilities of
- every hardware so each device binding document explains which values the
- regulator supports.
-- regulator-system-load: Load in uA present on regulator that is not captured by
- any consumer request.
-- regulator-pull-down: Enable pull down resistor when the regulator is disabled.
-- regulator-over-current-protection: Enable over current protection.
-- regulator-active-discharge: tristate, enable/disable active discharge of
- regulators. The values are:
- 0: Disable active discharge.
- 1: Enable active discharge.
- Absence of this property will leave configuration to default.
-- regulator-coupled-with: Regulators with which the regulator
- is coupled. The linkage is 2-way - all coupled regulators should be linked
- with each other. A regulator should not be coupled with its supplier.
-- regulator-coupled-max-spread: Array of maximum spread between voltages of
- coupled regulators in microvolts, each value in the array relates to the
- corresponding couple specified by the regulator-coupled-with property.
-- regulator-max-step-microvolt: Maximum difference between current and target
- voltages that can be changed safely in a single step.
-
-Deprecated properties:
-- regulator-compatible: If a regulator chip contains multiple
- regulators, and if the chip's binding contains a child node that
- describes each regulator, then this property indicates which regulator
- this child node is intended to configure. If this property is missing,
- the node's name will be used instead.
-
-Example:
-
- xyzreg: regulator@0 {
- regulator-min-microvolt = <1000000>;
- regulator-max-microvolt = <2500000>;
- regulator-always-on;
- vin-supply = <&vin>;
-
- regulator-state-mem {
- regulator-on-in-suspend;
- };
- };
-
-Regulator Consumers:
-Consumer nodes can reference one or more of its supplies/
-regulators using the below bindings.
-
-- <name>-supply: phandle to the regulator node
-
-These are the same bindings that a regulator in the above
-example used to reference its own supply, in which case
-its just seen as a special case of a regulator being a
-consumer itself.
-
-Example of a consumer device node (mmc) referencing two
-regulators (twl_reg1 and twl_reg2),
-
- twl_reg1: regulator@0 {
- ...
- ...
- ...
- };
-
- twl_reg2: regulator@1 {
- ...
- ...
- ...
- };

+SiFive L2 Cache Controller
+--------------------------
+The SiFive Level 2 Cache Controller is used to provide access to fast copies
+of memory for masters in a Core Complex. The Level 2 Cache Controller also
+acts as directory-based coherency manager.
+All the properties in ePAPR/DeviceTree specification applies for this platform
+
+Required Properties:
+--------------------
+- compatible: Should be "sifive,fu540-c000-ccache" and "cache"
+
+- cache-block-size: Specifies the block size in bytes of the cache.
+ Should be 64
+
+- cache-level: Should be set to 2 for a level 2 cache
+
+- cache-sets: Specifies the number of associativity sets of the cache.
+ Should be 1024
+
+- cache-size: Specifies the size in bytes of the cache. Should be 2097152
+
+- cache-unified: Specifies the cache is a unified cache
+
+- interrupts: Must contain 3 entries (DirError, DataError and DataFail signals)
+
+- reg: Physical base address and size of L2 cache controller registers map
+
+Optional Properties:
+--------------------
+- next-level-cache: phandle to the next level cache if present.
+
+- memory-region: reference to the reserved-memory for the L2 Loosely Integrated
+ Memory region. The reserved memory node should be defined as per the bindings
+ in reserved-memory.txt
+
+
+Example:
+
+ cache-controller@2010000 {
+ compatible = "sifive,fu540-c000-ccache", "cache";

+DT compatible string versioning for SiFive open-source IP blocks
+
+This document describes the version specification for DT "compatible"
+strings for open-source SiFive IP blocks. HDL for these IP blocks
+can be found in this public repository:
+
+https://github.com/sifive/sifive-blocks
+
+IP block-specific DT compatible strings are contained within the HDL,
+in the form "sifive,<ip-block-name><integer version number>".
+
+An example is "sifive,uart0" from:
+
+https://github.com/sifive/sifive-blocks/blob/v1.0/src/main/scala/devices/uart/UART.scala#L43
+
+Until these IP blocks (or IP integration) support version
+auto-discovery, the maintainers of these IP blocks intend to increment
+the suffixed number in the compatible string whenever the software
+interface to these IP blocks changes, or when the functionality of the
+underlying IP blocks changes in a way that software should be aware of.
+
+Driver developers can use compatible string "match" values such as
+"sifive,uart0" to indicate that their driver is compatible with the
+register interface and functionality associated with the relevant
+upstream sifive-blocks commits. It is expected that most drivers will
+match on these IP block-specific compatible strings.
+
+DT data authors, when writing data for a particular SoC, should
+continue to specify an SoC-specific compatible string value, such as
+"sifive,fu540-c000-uart". This way, if SoC-specific
+integration-specific bug fixes or workarounds are needed, the kernel
+or other system software can match on this string to apply them. The
+IP block-specific compatible string (such as "sifive,uart0") should
+then be specified as a subsequent value.
+
+An example of this style:
+
+ compatible = "sifive,fu540-c000-uart", "sifive,uart0";

+NXP Audio Mixer (AUDMIX).
+
+The Audio Mixer is a on-chip functional module that allows mixing of two
+audio streams into a single audio stream. Audio Mixer has two input serial
+audio interfaces. These are driven by two Synchronous Audio interface
+modules (SAI). Each input serial interface carries 8 audio channels in its
+frame in TDM manner. Mixer mixes audio samples of corresponding channels
+from two interfaces into a single sample. Before mixing, audio samples of
+two inputs can be attenuated based on configuration. The output of the
+Audio Mixer is also a serial audio interface. Like input interfaces it has
+the same TDM frame format. This output is used to drive the serial DAC TDM
+interface of audio codec and also sent to the external pins along with the
+receive path of normal audio SAI module for readback by the CPU.
+
+The output of Audio Mixer can be selected from any of the three streams
+ - serial audio input 1
+ - serial audio input 2
+ - mixed audio
+
+Mixing operation is independent of audio sample rate but the two audio
+input streams must have same audio sample rate with same number of channels
+in TDM frame to be eligible for mixing.
+
+Device driver required properties:
+=================================
+ - compatible : Compatible list, contains "fsl,imx8qm-audmix"
+
+ - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device.
+
+ - clocks : Must contain an entry for each entry in clock-names.
+
+ - clock-names : Must include the "ipg" for register access.
+
+ - power-domains : Must contain the phandle to AUDMIX power domain node
+
+ - dais : Must contain a list of phandles to AUDMIX connected
+ DAIs. The current implementation requires two phandles
+ to SAI interfaces to be provided, the first SAI in the
+ list being used to route the AUDMIX output.
+
+Device driver configuration example:

+ For all other codecs one of the MADERA_DMIC_REF_xxx values
+ Also see the datasheet for a description of the INn_DMIC_SUP field.
+
+ - cirrus,inmode : A list of input mode settings for each input. A maximum of
+ 16 cells, with four cells per input in the order INnAL, INnAR INnBL INnBR.
+ For non-muxed inputs the first two cells for that input set the mode for
+ the left and right channel and the second two cells must be 0.
+ For muxed inputs the first two cells for that input set the mode of the

+ Valid mode values are one of the MADERA_INMODE_xxx. If the array is shorter

+
+ - cirrus,out-mono : Mono bit for each output, maximum of six cells if the
+ array is shorter outputs will be set to stereo.
+
+ - cirrus,max-channels-clocked : Maximum number of channels that I2S clocks
+ will be generated for. Useful when clock master for systems where the I2S
+ bus has multiple data lines.
+ One cell for each AIF, use a value of zero for AIFs that should be handled
+ normally.
+
+ - cirrus,pdm-fmt : PDM speaker data format, must contain 2 cells

-SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) busses
-
-SPI busses can be described with a node for the SPI controller device
-and a set of child nodes for each SPI slave on the bus. The system's SPI
-controller may be described for use in SPI master mode or in SPI slave mode,
-but not for both at the same time.
-
-The SPI controller node requires the following properties:
-- compatible - Name of SPI bus controller following generic names
- recommended practice.
-
-In master mode, the SPI controller node requires the following additional
-properties:
-- #address-cells - number of cells required to define a chip select
- address on the SPI bus.
-- #size-cells - should be zero.
-
-In slave mode, the SPI controller node requires one additional property:
-- spi-slave - Empty property.
-
-No other properties are required in the SPI bus node. It is assumed
-that a driver for an SPI bus device will understand that it is an SPI bus.
-However, the binding does not attempt to define the specific method for
-assigning chip select numbers. Since SPI chip select configuration is
-flexible and non-standardized, it is left out of this binding with the
-assumption that board specific platform code will be used to manage
-chip selects. Individual drivers can define additional properties to
-support describing the chip select layout.
-
-Optional properties (master mode only):
-- cs-gpios - gpios chip select.
-- num-cs - total number of chipselects.
-
-If cs-gpios is used the number of chip selects will be increased automatically
-with max(cs-gpios > hw cs).
-
-So if for example the controller has 2 CS lines, and the cs-gpios
-property looks like this:
-
-cs-gpios = <&gpio1 0 0>, <0>, <&gpio1 1 0>, <&gpio1 2 0>;
-
-Then it should be configured so that num_chipselect = 4 with the
-following mapping:
-
-cs0 : &gpio1 0 0
-cs1 : native
-cs2 : &gpio1 1 0
-cs3 : &gpio1 2 0
-
-
-SPI slave nodes must be children of the SPI controller node.
-
-In master mode, one or more slave nodes (up to the number of chip selects) can
-be present. Required properties are:
-- compatible - Name of SPI device following generic names recommended
- practice.
-- reg - Chip select address of device.
-- spi-max-frequency - Maximum SPI clocking speed of device in Hz.
-
-In slave mode, the (single) slave node is optional.
-If present, it must be called "slave". Required properties are:
-- compatible - Name of SPI device following generic names recommended
- practice.
-
-All slave nodes can contain the following optional properties:
-- spi-cpol - Empty property indicating device requires inverse clock
- polarity (CPOL) mode.
-- spi-cpha - Empty property indicating device requires shifted clock
- phase (CPHA) mode.
-- spi-cs-high - Empty property indicating device requires chip select
- active high.
-- spi-3wire - Empty property indicating device requires 3-wire mode.
-- spi-lsb-first - Empty property indicating device requires LSB first mode.
-- spi-tx-bus-width - The bus width (number of data wires) that is used for MOSI.
- Defaults to 1 if not present.
-- spi-rx-bus-width - The bus width (number of data wires) that is used for MISO.
- Defaults to 1 if not present.
-- spi-rx-delay-us - Microsecond delay after a read transfer.
-- spi-tx-delay-us - Microsecond delay after a write transfer.
-
-Some SPI controllers and devices support Dual and Quad SPI transfer mode.
-It allows data in the SPI system to be transferred using 2 wires (DUAL) or 4
-wires (QUAD).
-Now the value that spi-tx-bus-width and spi-rx-bus-width can receive is
-only 1 (SINGLE), 2 (DUAL) and 4 (QUAD).
-Dual/Quad mode is not allowed when 3-wire mode is used.
-
-If a gpio chipselect is used for the SPI slave the gpio number will be passed
-via the SPI master node cs-gpios property.
-
-SPI example for an MPC5200 SPI bus:
- spi@f00 {
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <0>;
- compatible = "fsl,mpc5200b-spi","fsl,mpc5200-spi";
- reg = <0xf00 0x20>;
- interrupts = <2 13 0 2 14 0>;
- interrupt-parent = <&mpc5200_pic>;
-
- ethernet-switch@0 {
- compatible = "micrel,ks8995m";

+* Mediatek Universal Flash Storage (UFS) Host Controller
+
+UFS nodes are defined to describe on-chip UFS hardware macro.
+Each UFS Host Controller should have its own node.
+
+To bind UFS PHY with UFS host controller, the controller node should
+contain a phandle reference to UFS M-PHY node.
+
+Required properties for UFS nodes:
+- compatible : Compatible list, contains the following controller:
+ "mediatek,mt8183-ufshci" for MediaTek UFS host controller
+ present on MT81xx chipsets.
+- reg : Address and length of the UFS register set.
+- phys : phandle to m-phy.
+- clocks : List of phandle and clock specifier pairs.
+- clock-names : List of clock input name strings sorted in the same
+ order as the clocks property. "ufs" is mandatory.
+ "ufs": ufshci core control clock.
+- freq-table-hz : Array of <min max> operating frequencies stored in the same
+ order as the clocks property. If this property is not
+ defined or a value in the array is "0" then it is assumed
+ that the frequency is set by the parent clock or a
+ fixed rate clock source.
+- vcc-supply : phandle to VCC supply regulator node.
+
+Example:
+
+ ufsphy: phy@11fa0000 {

+DOs and DON'Ts for designing and writing Devicetree bindings
+
+This is a list of common review feedback items focused on binding design. With
+every rule, there are exceptions and bindings have many gray areas.
+
+For guidelines related to patches, see
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt
+
+
+Overall design
+
+- DO attempt to make bindings complete even if a driver doesn't support some
+ features. For example, if a device has an interrupt, then include the
+ 'interrupts' property even if the driver is only polled mode.
+
+- DON'T refer to Linux or "device driver" in bindings. Bindings should be
+ based on what the hardware has, not what an OS and driver currently support.
+
+- DO use node names matching the class of the device. Many standard names are
+ defined in the DT Spec. If there isn't one, consider adding it.
+
+- DO check that the example matches the documentation especially after making
+ review changes.
+
+- DON'T create nodes just for the sake of instantiating drivers. Multi-function
+ devices only need child nodes when the child nodes have their own DT
+ resources. A single node can be multiple providers (e.g. clocks and resets).
+
+- DON'T use 'syscon' alone without a specific compatible string. A 'syscon'
+ hardware block should have a compatible string unique enough to infer the
+ register layout of the entire block (at a minimum).
+
+
+Properties
+
+- DO make 'compatible' properties specific. DON'T use wildcards in compatible
+ strings. DO use fallback compatibles when devices are the same as or a subset
+ of prior implementations. DO add new compatibles in case there are new
+ features or bugs.
+
+- DO use a vendor prefix on device specific property names. Consider if
+ properties could be common among devices of the same class. Check other
+ existing bindings for similar devices.
+
+- DON'T redefine common properties. Just reference the definition and define
+ constraints specific to the device.
+
+- DO use common property unit suffixes for properties with scientific units.
+ See property-units.txt.
+
+- DO define properties in terms of constraints. How many entries? What are
+ possible values? What is the order?
+
+
+Board/SoC .dts Files
+
+- DO put all MMIO devices under a bus node and not at the top-level.
+
+- DO use non-empty 'ranges' to limit the size of child buses/devices. 64-bit
+ platforms don't need all devices to have 64-bit address and size.

+=========================
+Generic Counter Interface
+=========================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Counter devices are prevalent within a diverse spectrum of industries.
+The ubiquitous presence of these devices necessitates a common interface
+and standard of interaction and exposure. This driver API attempts to
+resolve the issue of duplicate code found among existing counter device
+drivers by introducing a generic counter interface for consumption. The
+Generic Counter interface enables drivers to support and expose a common
+set of components and functionality present in counter devices.
+
+Theory
+======
+
+Counter devices can vary greatly in design, but regardless of whether
+some devices are quadrature encoder counters or tally counters, all
+counter devices consist of a core set of components. This core set of
+components, shared by all counter devices, is what forms the essence of
+the Generic Counter interface.
+
+There are three core components to a counter:
+
+* Count:
+ Count data for a set of Signals.
+
+* Signal:
+ Input data that is evaluated by the counter to determine the count
+ data.
+
+* Synapse:
+ The association of a Signal with a respective Count.
+
+COUNT
+-----
+A Count represents the count data for a set of Signals. The Generic
+Counter interface provides the following available count data types:
+
+* COUNT_POSITION:
+ Unsigned integer value representing position.
+
+A Count has a count function mode which represents the update behavior
+for the count data. The Generic Counter interface provides the following
+available count function modes:
+
+* Increase:
+ Accumulated count is incremented.
+
+* Decrease:
+ Accumulated count is decremented.
+
+* Pulse-Direction:
+ Rising edges on signal A updates the respective count. The input level
+ of signal B determines direction.
+
+* Quadrature:
+ A pair of quadrature encoding signals are evaluated to determine
+ position and direction. The following Quadrature modes are available:
+
+ - x1 A:
+ If direction is forward, rising edges on quadrature pair signal A
+ updates the respective count; if the direction is backward, falling
+ edges on quadrature pair signal A updates the respective count.
+ Quadrature encoding determines the direction.
+
+ - x1 B:
+ If direction is forward, rising edges on quadrature pair signal B
+ updates the respective count; if the direction is backward, falling
+ edges on quadrature pair signal B updates the respective count.
+ Quadrature encoding determines the direction.
+
+ - x2 A:
+ Any state transition on quadrature pair signal A updates the
+ respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the direction.
+
+ - x2 B:
+ Any state transition on quadrature pair signal B updates the
+ respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the direction.
+
+ - x4:
+ Any state transition on either quadrature pair signals updates the
+ respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the direction.
+
+A Count has a set of one or more associated Signals.
+
+SIGNAL
+------
+A Signal represents a counter input data; this is the input data that is
+evaluated by the counter to determine the count data; e.g. a quadrature
+signal output line of a rotary encoder. Not all counter devices provide
+user access to the Signal data.
+
+The Generic Counter interface provides the following available signal
+data types for when the Signal data is available for user access:
+
+* SIGNAL_LEVEL:
+ Signal line state level. The following states are possible:
+
+ - SIGNAL_LEVEL_LOW:
+ Signal line is in a low state.
+
+ - SIGNAL_LEVEL_HIGH:
+ Signal line is in a high state.
+
+A Signal may be associated with one or more Counts.
+
+SYNAPSE
+-------
+A Synapse represents the association of a Signal with a respective
+Count. Signal data affects respective Count data, and the Synapse
+represents this relationship.
+
+The Synapse action mode specifies the Signal data condition which
+triggers the respective Count's count function evaluation to update the
+count data. The Generic Counter interface provides the following
+available action modes:
+
+* None:
+ Signal does not trigger the count function. In Pulse-Direction count
+ function mode, this Signal is evaluated as Direction.
+
+* Rising Edge:
+ Low state transitions to high state.
+
+* Falling Edge:
+ High state transitions to low state.
+
+* Both Edges:
+ Any state transition.
+
+A counter is defined as a set of input signals associated with count
+data that are generated by the evaluation of the state of the associated
+input signals as defined by the respective count functions. Within the
+context of the Generic Counter interface, a counter consists of Counts
+each associated with a set of Signals, whose respective Synapse
+instances represent the count function update conditions for the
+associated Counts.
+
+Paradigm
+========
+
+The most basic counter device may be expressed as a single Count
+associated with a single Signal via a single Synapse. Take for example
+a counter device which simply accumulates a count of rising edges on a
+source input line::
+
+ Count Synapse Signal
+ ----- ------- ------
+ +---------------------+
+ | Data: Count | Rising Edge ________
+ | Function: Increase | <------------- / Source \
+ | | ____________
+ +---------------------+
+
+In this example, the Signal is a source input line with a pulsing
+voltage, while the Count is a persistent count value which is repeatedly
+incremented. The Signal is associated with the respective Count via a
+Synapse. The increase function is triggered by the Signal data condition
+specified by the Synapse -- in this case a rising edge condition on the
+voltage input line. In summary, the counter device existence and
+behavior is aptly represented by respective Count, Signal, and Synapse
+components: a rising edge condition triggers an increase function on an
+accumulating count datum.
+
+A counter device is not limited to a single Signal; in fact, in theory
+many Signals may be associated with even a single Count. For example, a
+quadrature encoder counter device can keep track of position based on
+the states of two input lines::
+
+ Count Synapse Signal
+ ----- ------- ------
+ +-------------------------+
+ | Data: Position | Both Edges ___
+ | Function: Quadrature x4 | <------------ / A \
+ | | _______
+ | |
+ | | Both Edges ___
+ | | <------------ / B \
+ | | _______
+ +-------------------------+
+
+In this example, two Signals (quadrature encoder lines A and B) are
+associated with a single Count: a rising or falling edge on either A or
+B triggers the "Quadrature x4" function which determines the direction
+of movement and updates the respective position data. The "Quadrature
+x4" function is likely implemented in the hardware of the quadrature
+encoder counter device; the Count, Signals, and Synapses simply
+represent this hardware behavior and functionality.
+
+Signals associated with the same Count can have differing Synapse action
+mode conditions. For example, a quadrature encoder counter device
+operating in a non-quadrature Pulse-Direction mode could have one input
+line dedicated for movement and a second input line dedicated for
+direction::
+
+ Count Synapse Signal
+ ----- ------- ------
+ +---------------------------+
+ | Data: Position | Rising Edge ___
+ | Function: Pulse-Direction | <------------- / A \ (Movement)
+ | | _______
+ | |
+ | | None ___
+ | | <------------- / B \ (Direction)
+ | | _______
+ +---------------------------+
+
+Only Signal A triggers the "Pulse-Direction" update function, but the
+instantaneous state of Signal B is still required in order to know the
+direction so that the position data may be properly updated. Ultimately,
+both Signals are associated with the same Count via two respective
+Synapses, but only one Synapse has an active action mode condition which
+triggers the respective count function while the other is left with a
+"None" condition action mode to indicate its respective Signal's
+availability for state evaluation despite its non-triggering mode.
+
+Keep in mind that the Signal, Synapse, and Count are abstract
+representations which do not need to be closely married to their
+respective physical sources. This allows the user of a counter to
+divorce themselves from the nuances of physical components (such as
+whether an input line is differential or single-ended) and instead focus
+on the core idea of what the data and process represent (e.g. position
+as interpreted from quadrature encoding data).
+
+Userspace Interface
+===================
+
+Several sysfs attributes are generated by the Generic Counter interface,
+and reside under the /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX directory, where
+counterX refers to the respective counter device. Please see
+Documentation/ABI/testing/sys-bus-counter-generic-sysfs for detailed
+information on each Generic Counter interface sysfs attribute.
+
+Through these sysfs attributes, programs and scripts may interact with
+the Generic Counter paradigm Counts, Signals, and Synapses of respective
+counter devices.
+
+Driver API
+==========
+
+Driver authors may utilize the Generic Counter interface in their code
+by including the include/linux/counter.h header file. This header file
+provides several core data structures, function prototypes, and macros
+for defining a counter device.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/counter.h
+ :internal:
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/counter/counter.c
+ :export:
+
+Implementation
+==============
+
+To support a counter device, a driver must first allocate the available
+Counter Signals via counter_signal structures. These Signals should
+be stored as an array and set to the signals array member of an
+allocated counter_device structure before the Counter is registered to
+the system.
+
+Counter Counts may be allocated via counter_count structures, and
+respective Counter Signal associations (Synapses) made via
+counter_synapse structures. Associated counter_synapse structures are
+stored as an array and set to the the synapses array member of the
+respective counter_count structure. These counter_count structures are
+set to the counts array member of an allocated counter_device structure
+before the Counter is registered to the system.
+
+Driver callbacks should be provided to the counter_device structure via
+a constant counter_ops structure in order to communicate with the
+device: to read and write various Signals and Counts, and to set and get
+the "action mode" and "function mode" for various Synapses and Counts
+respectively.
+
+A defined counter_device structure may be registered to the system by
+passing it to the counter_register function, and unregistered by passing
+it to the counter_unregister function. Similarly, the
+devm_counter_register and devm_counter_unregister functions may be used
+if device memory-managed registration is desired.
+
+Extension sysfs attributes can be created for auxiliary functionality
+and data by passing in defined counter_device_ext, counter_count_ext,
+and counter_signal_ext structures. In these cases, the
+counter_device_ext structure is used for global configuration of the
+respective Counter device, while the counter_count_ext and
+counter_signal_ext structures allow for auxiliary exposure and
+configuration of a specific Count or Signal respectively.
+
+Architecture
+============
+
+When the Generic Counter interface counter module is loaded, the
+counter_init function is called which registers a bus_type named
+"counter" to the system. Subsequently, when the module is unloaded, the
+counter_exit function is called which unregisters the bus_type named
+"counter" from the system.
+
+Counter devices are registered to the system via the counter_register
+function, and later removed via the counter_unregister function. The
+counter_register function establishes a unique ID for the Counter
+device and creates a respective sysfs directory, where X is the
+mentioned unique ID:
+
+ /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX
+
+Sysfs attributes are created within the counterX directory to expose
+functionality, configurations, and data relating to the Counts, Signals,
+and Synapses of the Counter device, as well as options and information
+for the Counter device itself.
+
+Each Signal has a directory created to house its relevant sysfs
+attributes, where Y is the unique ID of the respective Signal:
+
+ /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/signalY
+
+Similarly, each Count has a directory created to house its relevant
+sysfs attributes, where Y is the unique ID of the respective Count:
+
+ /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY
+
+For a more detailed breakdown of the available Generic Counter interface
+sysfs attributes, please refer to the
+Documentation/ABI/testing/sys-bus-counter file.
+
+The Signals and Counts associated with the Counter device are registered
+to the system as well by the counter_register function. The
+signal_read/signal_write driver callbacks are associated with their
+respective Signal attributes, while the count_read/count_write and
+function_get/function_set driver callbacks are associated with their
+respective Count attributes; similarly, the same is true for the
+action_get/action_set driver callbacks and their respective Synapse
+attributes. If a driver callback is left undefined, then the respective
+read/write permission is left disabled for the relevant attributes.
+
+Similarly, extension sysfs attributes are created for the defined
+counter_device_ext, counter_count_ext, and counter_signal_ext
+structures that are passed in.

GPIO drivers providing IRQs
----------------------------
+===========================
+
It is custom that GPIO drivers (GPIO chips) are also providing interrupts,
most often cascaded off a parent interrupt controller, and in some special
cases the GPIO logic is melded with a SoC's primary interrupt controller.
-The IRQ portions of the GPIO block are implemented using an irqchip, using
+The IRQ portions of the GPIO block are implemented using an irq_chip, using

-sleepable APIs (like PM runtime) as part of its irq_chip implementation.
+It is legal for any IRQ consumer to request an IRQ from any irqchip even if it
+is a combined GPIO+IRQ driver. The basic premise is that gpio_chip and

-* If sleepable APIs have to be used, these can be done from the .irq_bus_lock()
+gpiod_to_irq() is just a convenience function to figure out the IRQ for a

+the IRQ is used.
+
+Always prepare the hardware and make it ready for action in respective
+callbacks from the GPIO and irq_chip APIs. Do not rely on gpiod_to_irq() having
+been called first.
+
+We can divide GPIO irqchips in two broad categories:
+
+- CASCADED INTERRUPT CHIPS: this means that the GPIO chip has one common
+ interrupt output line, which is triggered by any enabled GPIO line on that
+ chip. The interrupt output line will then be routed to an parent interrupt
+ controller one level up, in the most simple case the systems primary
+ interrupt controller. This is modeled by an irqchip that will inspect bits
+ inside the GPIO controller to figure out which line fired it. The irqchip
+ part of the driver needs to inspect registers to figure this out and it
+ will likely also need to acknowledge that it is handling the interrupt
+ by clearing some bit (sometime implicitly, by just reading a status
+ register) and it will often need to set up the configuration such as
+ edge sensitivity (rising or falling edge, or high/low level interrupt for
+ example).
+
+- HIERARCHICAL INTERRUPT CHIPS: this means that each GPIO line has a dedicated
+ irq line to a parent interrupt controller one level up. There is no need
+ to inquire the GPIO hardware to figure out which line has fired, but it
+ may still be necessary to acknowledge the interrupt and set up configuration
+ such as edge sensitivity.

+even when the operating system running on the host processor has crashed or
+is in a sleep state.
+
+Some examples of Intel AMT usage are:
+ - Monitoring hardware state and platform components
+ - Remote power off/on (useful for green computing or overnight IT
+ maintenance)
+ - OS updates
+ - Storage of useful platform information such as software assets
+ - Built-in hardware KVM
+ - Selective network isolation of Ethernet and IP protocol flows based
+ on policies set by a remote management console
+ - IDE device redirection from remote management console
+
+Intel AMT (OOB) communication is based on SOAP (deprecated
+starting with Release 6.0) over HTTP/S or WS-Management protocol over
+HTTP/S that are received from a remote management console application.
+

+https://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide/default.htm
+
+
+Intel AMT Applications
+----------------------
+
+ 1) Intel Local Management Service (Intel LMS)
+
+ Applications running locally on the platform communicate with Intel AMT Release
+ 2.0 and later releases in the same way that network applications do via SOAP
+ over HTTP (deprecated starting with Release 6.0) or with WS-Management over
+ SOAP over HTTP. This means that some Intel AMT features can be accessed from a
+ local application using the same network interface as a remote application
+ communicating with Intel AMT over the network.
+
+ When a local application sends a message addressed to the local Intel AMT host
+ name, the Intel LMS, which listens for traffic directed to the host name,
+ intercepts the message and routes it to the Intel MEI.
+ For more information:
+ https://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide/default.htm
+ Under "About Intel AMT" => "Local Access"
+
+ For downloading Intel LMS:
+ https://github.com/intel/lms
+
+ The Intel LMS opens a connection using the Intel MEI driver to the Intel LMS
+ firmware feature using a defined GUID and then communicates with the feature
+ using a protocol called Intel AMT Port Forwarding Protocol (Intel APF protocol).
+ The protocol is used to maintain multiple sessions with Intel AMT from a
+ single application.
+
+ See the protocol specification in the Intel AMT Software Development Kit (SDK)
+ https://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide/default.htm
+ Under "SDK Resources" => "Intel(R) vPro(TM) Gateway (MPS)"
+ => "Information for Intel(R) vPro(TM) Gateway Developers"
+ => "Description of the Intel AMT Port Forwarding (APF) Protocol"
+
+ 2) Intel AMT Remote configuration using a Local Agent
+
+ A Local Agent enables IT personnel to configure Intel AMT out-of-the-box
+ without requiring installing additional data to enable setup. The remote
+ configuration process may involve an ISV-developed remote configuration
+ agent that runs on the host.
+ For more information:
+ https://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide/default.htm
+ Under "Setup and Configuration of Intel AMT" =>
+ "SDK Tools Supporting Setup and Configuration" =>
+ "Using the Local Agent Sample"
+
+Intel AMT OS Health Watchdog
+----------------------------
+
+The Intel AMT Watchdog is an OS Health (Hang/Crash) watchdog.
+Whenever the OS hangs or crashes, Intel AMT will send an event
+to any subscriber to this event. This mechanism means that
+IT knows when a platform crashes even when there is a hard failure on the host.
+
+The Intel AMT Watchdog is composed of two parts:
+ 1) Firmware feature - receives the heartbeats
+ and sends an event when the heartbeats stop.
+ 2) Intel MEI iAMT watchdog driver - connects to the watchdog feature,
+ configures the watchdog and sends the heartbeats.
+
+The Intel iAMT watchdog MEI driver uses the kernel watchdog API to configure
+the Intel AMT Watchdog and to send heartbeats to it. The default timeout of the
+watchdog is 120 seconds.
+
+If the Intel AMT is not enabled in the firmware then the watchdog client won't enumerate
+on the me client bus and watchdog devices won't be exposed.

+Intel(R) Management Engine (ME) Client bus API
+==============================================
+
+
+Rationale
+=========
+
+The MEI character device is useful for dedicated applications to send and receive
+data to the many FW appliance found in Intel's ME from the user space.
+However, for some of the ME functionalities it makes sense to leverage existing software
+stack and expose them through existing kernel subsystems.
+
+In order to plug seamlessly into the kernel device driver model we add kernel virtual
+bus abstraction on top of the MEI driver. This allows implementing Linux kernel drivers
+for the various MEI features as a stand alone entities found in their respective subsystem.
+Existing device drivers can even potentially be re-used by adding an MEI CL bus layer to
+the existing code.
+
+
+MEI CL bus API
+==============
+
+A driver implementation for an MEI Client is very similar to any other existing bus
+based device drivers. The driver registers itself as an MEI CL bus driver through
+the ``struct mei_cl_driver`` structure defined in :file:`include/linux/mei_cl_bus.c`
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ struct mei_cl_driver {
+ struct device_driver driver;
+ const char *name;
+
+ const struct mei_cl_device_id *id_table;
+
+ int (*probe)(struct mei_cl_device *dev, const struct mei_cl_id *id);
+ int (*remove)(struct mei_cl_device *dev);
+ };
+
+
+
+The mei_cl_device_id structure defined in :file:`include/linux/mod_devicetable.h` allows a
+driver to bind itself against a device name.
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ struct mei_cl_device_id {
+ char name[MEI_CL_NAME_SIZE];
+ uuid_le uuid;
+ __u8 version;
+ kernel_ulong_t driver_info;
+ };
+
+To actually register a driver on the ME Client bus one must call the :c:func:`mei_cl_add_driver`
+API. This is typically called at module initialization time.
+
+Once the driver is registered and bound to the device, a driver will typically
+try to do some I/O on this bus and this should be done through the :c:func:`mei_cl_send`
+and :c:func:`mei_cl_recv` functions. More detailed information is in :ref:`api` section.
+
+In order for a driver to be notified about pending traffic or event, the driver
+should register a callback via :c:func:`mei_cl_devev_register_rx_cb` and
+:c:func:`mei_cldev_register_notify_cb` function respectively.
+
+.. _api:
+
+API:
+----
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/misc/mei/bus.c
+ :export: drivers/misc/mei/bus.c
+
+
+
+Example
+=======
+
+As a theoretical example let's pretend the ME comes with a "contact" NFC IP.
+The driver init and exit routines for this device would look like:
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ #define CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME "contact"
+
+ static struct mei_cl_device_id contact_mei_cl_tbl[] = {
+ { CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME, },
+
+ /* required last entry */
+ { }
+ };
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(mei_cl, contact_mei_cl_tbl);
+
+ static struct mei_cl_driver contact_driver = {
+ .id_table = contact_mei_tbl,
+ .name = CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME,
+
+ .probe = contact_probe,
+ .remove = contact_remove,
+ };
+
+ static int contact_init(void)
+ {
+ int r;
+
+ r = mei_cl_driver_register(&contact_driver);
+ if (r) {
+ pr_err(CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME ": driver registration failed\n");
+ return r;
+ }
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+ static void __exit contact_exit(void)
+ {
+ mei_cl_driver_unregister(&contact_driver);
+ }
+
+ module_init(contact_init);
+ module_exit(contact_exit);
+
+And the driver's simplified probe routine would look like that:
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ int contact_probe(struct mei_cl_device *dev, struct mei_cl_device_id *id)
+ {
+ [...]
+ mei_cldev_enable(dev);
+
+ mei_cldev_register_rx_cb(dev, contact_rx_cb);
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+In the probe routine the driver first enable the MEI device and then registers
+an rx handler which is as close as it can get to registering a threaded IRQ handler.
+The handler implementation will typically call :c:func:`mei_cldev_recv` and then
+process received data.
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ #define MAX_PAYLOAD 128
+ #define HDR_SIZE 4
+ static void conntact_rx_cb(struct mei_cl_device *cldev)
+ {
+ struct contact *c = mei_cldev_get_drvdata(cldev);
+ unsigned char payload[MAX_PAYLOAD];
+ ssize_t payload_sz;
+
+ payload_sz = mei_cldev_recv(cldev, payload, MAX_PAYLOAD)
+ if (reply_size < HDR_SIZE) {
+ return;
+ }
+
+ c->process_rx(payload);

+Introduction
+============
+
+The Intel Management Engine (Intel ME) is an isolated and protected computing
+resource (Co-processor) residing inside certain Intel chipsets. The Intel ME
+provides support for computer/IT management and security features.
+The actual feature set depends on the Intel chipset SKU.
+
+The Intel Management Engine Interface (Intel MEI, previously known as HECI)
+is the interface between the Host and Intel ME. This interface is exposed
+to the host as a PCI device, actually multiple PCI devices might be exposed.
+The Intel MEI Driver is in charge of the communication channel between
+a host application and the Intel ME features.
+
+Each Intel ME feature, or Intel ME Client is addressed by a unique GUID and
+each client has its own protocol. The protocol is message-based with a
+header and payload up to maximal number of bytes advertised by the client,
+upon connection.
+
+Intel MEI Driver
+================
+
+The driver exposes a character device with device nodes /dev/meiX.
+
+An application maintains communication with an Intel ME feature while
+/dev/meiX is open. The binding to a specific feature is performed by calling
+:c:macro:`MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT_IOCTL`, which passes the desired GUID.
+The number of instances of an Intel ME feature that can be opened
+at the same time depends on the Intel ME feature, but most of the
+features allow only a single instance.
+
+The driver is transparent to data that are passed between firmware feature
+and host application.
+
+Because some of the Intel ME features can change the system
+configuration, the driver by default allows only a privileged
+user to access it.
+
+The session is terminated calling :c:func:`close(int fd)`.
+
+A code snippet for an application communicating with Intel AMTHI client:
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ struct mei_connect_client_data data;
+ fd = open(MEI_DEVICE);
+
+ data.d.in_client_uuid = AMTHI_GUID;
+
+ ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT, &data);
+
+ printf("Ver=%d, MaxLen=%ld\n",
+ data.d.in_client_uuid.protocol_version,
+ data.d.in_client_uuid.max_msg_length);
+
+ [...]
+
+ write(fd, amthi_req_data, amthi_req_data_len);
+
+ [...]
+
+ read(fd, &amthi_res_data, amthi_res_data_len);
+
+ [...]
+ close(fd);
+
+
+User space API
+
+IOCTLs:
+=======
+
+The Intel MEI Driver supports the following IOCTL commands:
+
+IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT
+-------------------------
+Connect to firmware Feature/Client.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ Usage:
+
+ struct mei_connect_client_data client_data;
+
+ ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT, &client_data);
+
+ Inputs:
+
+ struct mei_connect_client_data - contain the following
+ Input field:
+
+ in_client_uuid - GUID of the FW Feature that needs
+ to connect to.
+ Outputs:
+ out_client_properties - Client Properties: MTU and Protocol Version.
+
+ Error returns:
+
+ ENOTTY No such client (i.e. wrong GUID) or connection is not allowed.
+ EINVAL Wrong IOCTL Number
+ ENODEV Device or Connection is not initialized or ready.
+ ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory to client internal data.
+ EFAULT Fatal Error (e.g. Unable to access user input data)
+ EBUSY Connection Already Open
+
+:Note:
+ max_msg_length (MTU) in client properties describes the maximum
+ data that can be sent or received. (e.g. if MTU=2K, can send
+ requests up to bytes 2k and received responses up to 2k bytes).
+
+
+IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_SET
+---------------------
+Enable or disable event notifications.
+
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ Usage:
+
+ uint32_t enable;
+
+ ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_SET, &enable);
+
+
+ uint32_t enable = 1;
+ or
+ uint32_t enable[disable] = 0;
+
+ Error returns:
+
+
+ EINVAL Wrong IOCTL Number
+ ENODEV Device is not initialized or the client not connected
+ ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory to client internal data.
+ EFAULT Fatal Error (e.g. Unable to access user input data)
+ EOPNOTSUPP if the device doesn't support the feature
+
+:Note:
+ The client must be connected in order to enable notification events
+
+
+IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_GET
+--------------------
+Retrieve event
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ Usage:
+ uint32_t event;
+ ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_GET, &event);
+
+ Outputs:
+ 1 - if an event is pending
+ 0 - if there is no even pending
+
+ Error returns:
+ EINVAL Wrong IOCTL Number
+ ENODEV Device is not initialized or the client not connected
+ ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory to client internal data.
+ EFAULT Fatal Error (e.g. Unable to access user input data)
+ EOPNOTSUPP if the device doesn't support the feature
+
+:Note:
+ The client must be connected and event notification has to be enabled
+ in order to receive an event

There's also named equivalents like gray1..x provided you have an rgb.txt.
Somewhere in X's callchain, this results in a call to X code that handles the
colormap. For example, Xfbdev hits the following:
-xc-011010/programs/Xserver/dix/colormap.c:

+ db = (long) pent->co.local.blue - prgb->blue;
+ sq = dr * dr;
+ UnsignedToBigNum (sq, &sum);
+ BigNumAdd (&sum, &temp, &sum);
co.local.red are entries that were brought in through FBIOGETCMAP which come
directly from the info->cmap.red that was listed above. The prgb is the rgb
that the app wants to match to. The above code is doing what looks like a least
squares matching function. That's why the cmap entries can't be set to the left
hand side boundaries of a color range.

+=================

+
+
+This is a driver for a graphic framebuffer for Matrox devices on
+Alpha, Intel and PPC boxes.
+
+Advantages:
+
+ * It provides a nice large console (128 cols + 48 lines with 1024x768)
+ without using tiny, unreadable fonts.
+ * You can run XF{68,86}_FBDev or XFree86 fbdev driver on top of /dev/fb0
+ * Most important: boot logo :-)
+
+Disadvantages:
+
+ * graphic mode is slower than text mode... but you should not notice
+ if you use same resolution as you used in textmode.
+
+
+How to use it?
+==============
+
+Switching modes is done using the video=matroxfb:vesa:... boot parameter
+or using `fbset` program.
+
+If you want, for example, enable a resolution of 1280x1024x24bpp you should
+pass to the kernel this command line: "video=matroxfb:vesa:0x1BB".
+
+You should compile in both vgacon (to boot if you remove you Matrox from
+box) and matroxfb (for graphics mode). You should not compile-in vesafb
+unless you have primary display on non-Matrox VBE2.0 device (see
+Documentation/fb/vesafb.rst for details).
+
+Currently supported video modes are (through vesa:... interface, PowerMac
+has [as addon] compatibility code):

+You can enter these number either hexadecimal (leading `0x`) or decimal
+(0x100 = 256). You can also use value + 512 to achieve compatibility

+
+Non-listed number can be achieved by more complicated command-line, for
+example 1600x1200x32bpp can be specified by `video=matroxfb:vesa:0x11C,depth:32`.
+
+
+X11
+===
+
+XF{68,86}_FBDev should work just fine, but it is non-accelerated. On non-intel
+architectures there are some glitches for 24bpp videomodes. 8, 16 and 32bpp
+works fine.
+
+Running another (accelerated) X-Server like XF86_SVGA works too. But (at least)
+XFree servers have big troubles in multihead configurations (even on first
+head, not even talking about second). Running XFree86 4.x accelerated mga
+driver is possible, but you must not enable DRI - if you do, resolution and
+color depth of your X desktop must match resolution and color depths of your
+virtual consoles, otherwise X will corrupt accelerator settings.
+
+
+SVGALib
+=======
+
+Driver contains SVGALib compatibility code. It is turned on by choosing textual
+mode for console. You can do it at boot time by using videomode
+2,3,7,0x108-0x10C or 0x1C0. At runtime, `fbset -depth 0` does this work.
+Unfortunately, after SVGALib application exits, screen contents is corrupted.
+Switching to another console and back fixes it. I hope that it is SVGALib's
+problem and not mine, but I'm not sure.
+
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+You can pass kernel command line options to matroxfb with
+`video=matroxfb:option1,option2:value2,option3` (multiple options should be
+separated by comma, values are separated from options by `:`).
+Accepted options:
+
+============ ===================================================================
+mem:X size of memory (X can be in megabytes, kilobytes or bytes)
+ You can only decrease value determined by driver because of
+ it always probe for memory. Default is to use whole detected
+ memory usable for on-screen display (i.e. max. 8 MB).
+disabled do not load driver; you can use also `off`, but `disabled`
+ is here too.
+enabled load driver, if you have `video=matroxfb:disabled` in LILO
+ configuration, you can override it by this (you cannot override
+ `off`). It is default.
+noaccel do not use acceleration engine. It does not work on Alphas.
+accel use acceleration engine. It is default.
+nopan create initial consoles with vyres = yres, thus disabling virtual
+ scrolling.
+pan create initial consoles as tall as possible (vyres = memory/vxres).
+ It is default.
+nopciretry disable PCI retries. It is needed for some broken chipsets,
+ it is autodetected for intel's 82437. In this case device does
+ not comply to PCI 2.1 specs (it will not guarantee that every
+ transaction terminate with success or retry in 32 PCLK).
+pciretry enable PCI retries. It is default, except for intel's 82437.
+novga disables VGA I/O ports. It is default if BIOS did not enable
+ device. You should not use this option, some boards then do not
+ restart without power off.
+vga preserve state of VGA I/O ports. It is default. Driver does not
+ enable VGA I/O if BIOS did not it (it is not safe to enable it in
+ most cases).
+nobios disables BIOS ROM. It is default if BIOS did not enable BIOS

+nomtrr disables write combining on frame buffer. This slows down driver
+ but there is reported minor incompatibility between GUS DMA and
+ XFree under high loads if write combining is enabled (sound
+ dropouts).
+mtrr enables write combining on frame buffer. It speeds up video
+ accesses much. It is default. You must have MTRR support enabled
+ in kernel and your CPU must have MTRR (f.e. Pentium II have them).
+sgram tells to driver that you have Gxx0 with SGRAM memory. It has no

+sdram tells to driver that you have Gxx0 with SDRAM memory.
+ It is a default.
+inv24 change timings parameters for 24bpp modes on Millennium and
+ Millennium II. Specify this if you see strange color shadows
+ around characters.
+noinv24 use standard timings. It is the default.
+inverse invert colors on screen (for LCD displays)
+noinverse show true colors on screen. It is default.
+dev:X bind driver to device X. Driver numbers device from 0 up to N,
+ where device 0 is first `known` device found, 1 second and so on.
+ lspci lists devices in this order.
+ Default is `every` known device.
+nohwcursor disables hardware cursor (use software cursor instead).
+hwcursor enables hardware cursor. It is default. If you are using
+ non-accelerated mode (`noaccel` or `fbset -accel false`), software
+ cursor is used (except for text mode).
+noblink disables cursor blinking. Cursor in text mode always blinks (hw
+ limitation).
+blink enables cursor blinking. It is default.
+nofastfont disables fastfont feature. It is default.
+fastfont:X enables fastfont feature. X specifies size of memory reserved for
+ font data, it must be >= (fontwidth*fontheight*chars_in_font)/8.
+ It is faster on Gx00 series, but slower on older cards.
+grayscale enable grayscale summing. It works in PSEUDOCOLOR modes (text,
+ 4bpp, 8bpp). In DIRECTCOLOR modes it is limited to characters
+ displayed through putc/putcs. Direct accesses to framebuffer
+ can paint colors.
+nograyscale disable grayscale summing. It is default.
+cross4MB enables that pixel line can cross 4MB boundary. It is default for
+ non-Millennium.
+nocross4MB pixel line must not cross 4MB boundary. It is default for
+ Millennium I or II, because of these devices have hardware
+ limitations which do not allow this. But this option is
+ incompatible with some (if not all yet released) versions of
+ XF86_FBDev.
+dfp enables digital flat panel interface. This option is incompatible
+ with secondary (TV) output - if DFP is active, TV output must be
+ inactive and vice versa. DFP always uses same timing as primary
+ (monitor) output.
+dfp:X use settings X for digital flat panel interface. X is number from
+ 0 to 0xFF, and meaning of each individual bit is described in
+ G400 manual, in description of DAC register 0x1F. For normal
+ operation you should set all bits to zero, except lowest bit. This
+ lowest bit selects who is source of display clocks, whether G400,
+ or panel. Default value is now read back from hardware - so you
+ should specify this value only if you are also using `init`
+ parameter.
+outputs:XYZ set mapping between CRTC and outputs. Each letter can have value
+ of 0 (for no CRTC), 1 (CRTC1) or 2 (CRTC2), and first letter
+ corresponds to primary analog output, second letter to the
+ secondary analog output and third letter to the DVI output.
+ Default setting is 100 for cards below G400 or G400 without DFP,
+ 101 for G400 with DFP, and 111 for G450 and G550. You can set
+ mapping only on first card, use matroxset for setting up other
+ devices.
+vesa:X selects startup videomode. X is number from 0 to 0x1FF, see table
+ above for detailed explanation. Default is 640x480x8bpp if driver
+ has 8bpp support. Otherwise first available of 640x350x4bpp,
+ 640x480x15bpp, 640x480x24bpp, 640x480x32bpp or 80x25 text
+ (80x25 text is always available).
+============ ===================================================================
+
+If you are not satisfied with videomode selected by `vesa` option, you
+can modify it with these options:
+
+============ ===================================================================
+xres:X horizontal resolution, in pixels. Default is derived from `vesa`
+ option.
+yres:X vertical resolution, in pixel lines. Default is derived from `vesa`
+ option.
+upper:X top boundary: lines between end of VSYNC pulse and start of first
+ pixel line of picture. Default is derived from `vesa` option.
+lower:X bottom boundary: lines between end of picture and start of VSYNC
+ pulse. Default is derived from `vesa` option.
+vslen:X length of VSYNC pulse, in lines. Default is derived from `vesa`
+ option.
+left:X left boundary: pixels between end of HSYNC pulse and first pixel.
+ Default is derived from `vesa` option.
+right:X right boundary: pixels between end of picture and start of HSYNC
+ pulse. Default is derived from `vesa` option.
+hslen:X length of HSYNC pulse, in pixels. Default is derived from `vesa`
+ option.
+pixclock:X dotclocks, in ps (picoseconds). Default is derived from `vesa`
+ option and from `fh` and `fv` options.
+sync:X sync. pulse - bit 0 inverts HSYNC polarity, bit 1 VSYNC polarity.
+ If bit 3 (value 0x08) is set, composite sync instead of HSYNC is
+ generated. If bit 5 (value 0x20) is set, sync on green is turned
+ on. Do not forget that if you want sync on green, you also probably
+ want composite sync.
+ Default depends on `vesa`.
+depth:X Bits per pixel: 0=text, 4,8,15,16,24 or 32. Default depends on
+ `vesa`.
+============ ===================================================================
+
+If you know capabilities of your monitor, you can specify some (or all) of
+`maxclk`, `fh` and `fv`. In this case, `pixclock` is computed so that
+pixclock <= maxclk, real_fh <= fh and real_fv <= fv.
+
+============ ==================================================================
+maxclk:X maximum dotclock. X can be specified in MHz, kHz or Hz. Default is
+ `don`t care`.
+fh:X maximum horizontal synchronization frequency. X can be specified
+ in kHz or Hz. Default is `don't care`.
+fv:X maximum vertical frequency. X must be specified in Hz. Default is
+ 70 for modes derived from `vesa` with yres <= 400, 60Hz for
+ yres > 400.
+============ ==================================================================
+
+
+Limitations
+===========
+
+There are known and unknown bugs, features and misfeatures.
+Currently there are following known bugs:
+
+ - SVGALib does not restore screen on exit
+ - generic fbcon-cfbX procedures do not work on Alphas. Due to this,
+ `noaccel` (and cfb4 accel) driver does not work on Alpha. So everyone
+ with access to `/dev/fb*` on Alpha can hang machine (you should restrict
+ access to `/dev/fb*` - everyone with access to this device can destroy
+ your monitor, believe me...).
+ - 24bpp does not support correctly XF-FBDev on big-endian architectures.
+ - interlaced text mode is not supported; it looks like hardware limitation,
+ but I'm not sure.
+ - Gxx0 SGRAM/SDRAM is not autodetected.
+ - If you are using more than one framebuffer device, you must boot kernel
+ with 'video=scrollback:0'.
+ - maybe more...
+
+And following misfeatures:
+
+ - SVGALib does not restore screen on exit.
+ - pixclock for text modes is limited by hardware to
+
+ - 83 MHz on G200
+ - 66 MHz on Millennium I
+ - 60 MHz on Millennium II
+
+ Because I have no access to other devices, I do not know specific
+ frequencies for them. So driver does not check this and allows you to
+ set frequency higher that this. It causes sparks, black holes and other
+ pretty effects on screen. Device was not destroyed during tests. :-)
+ - my Millennium G200 oscillator has frequency range from 35 MHz to 380 MHz
+ (and it works with 8bpp on about 320 MHz dotclocks (and changed mclk)).
+ But Matrox says on product sheet that VCO limit is 50-250 MHz, so I believe
+ them (maybe that chip overheats, but it has a very big cooler (G100 has
+ none), so it should work).
+ - special mixed video/graphics videomodes of Mystique and Gx00 - 2G8V16 and
+ G16V16 are not supported
+ - color keying is not supported
+ - feature connector of Mystique and Gx00 is set to VGA mode (it is disabled
+ by BIOS)
+ - DDC (monitor detection) is supported through dualhead driver
+ - some check for input values are not so strict how it should be (you can
+ specify vslen=4000 and so on).
+ - maybe more...
+
+And following features:
+
+ - 4bpp is available only on Millennium I and Millennium II. It is hardware
+ limitation.
+ - selection between 1:5:5:5 and 5:6:5 16bpp videomode is done by -rgba
+ option of fbset: "fbset -depth 16 -rgba 5,5,5" selects 1:5:5:5, anything
+ else selects 5:6:5 mode.
+ - text mode uses 6 bit VGA palette instead of 8 bit (one of 262144 colors
+ instead of one of 16M colors). It is due to hardware limitation of
+ Millennium I/II and SVGALib compatibility.
+

+Dualhead G400

+ to think twice before choosing videomode (for example twice 1880x1440x32bpp
+ is not possible).

+ videomodes.
+ + secondary head is not accelerated. There were bad problems with accelerated
+ XFree when secondary head used to use acceleration.
+ + secondary head always powerups in 640x480@60-32 videomode. You have to use
+ fbset to change this mode.
+ + secondary head always powerups in monitor mode. You have to use fbmatroxset
+ to change it to TV mode. Also, you must select at least 525 lines for
+ NTSC output and 625 lines for PAL output.
+ + kernel is not fully multihead ready. So some things are impossible to do.
+ + if you compiled it as module, you must insert i2c-matroxfb, matroxfb_maven
+ and matroxfb_crtc2 into kernel.
+
+
+Dualhead G450
+=============

-What is matroxfb?
-=================
-
-This is a driver for a graphic framebuffer for Matrox devices on
-Alpha, Intel and PPC boxes.
-
-Advantages:
-
- * It provides a nice large console (128 cols + 48 lines with 1024x768)
- without using tiny, unreadable fonts.
- * You can run XF{68,86}_FBDev or XFree86 fbdev driver on top of /dev/fb0
- * Most important: boot logo :-)
-
-Disadvantages:
-
- * graphic mode is slower than text mode... but you should not notice
- if you use same resolution as you used in textmode.
-
-
-How to use it?
-==============
-
-Switching modes is done using the video=matroxfb:vesa:... boot parameter
-or using `fbset' program.
-
-If you want, for example, enable a resolution of 1280x1024x24bpp you should
-pass to the kernel this command line: "video=matroxfb:vesa:0x1BB".
-
-You should compile in both vgacon (to boot if you remove you Matrox from
-box) and matroxfb (for graphics mode). You should not compile-in vesafb
-unless you have primary display on non-Matrox VBE2.0 device (see
-Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt for details).
-
-Currently supported video modes are (through vesa:... interface, PowerMac
-has [as addon] compatibility code):

-You can enter these number either hexadecimal (leading `0x') or decimal

-Non-listed number can be achieved by more complicated command-line, for
-example 1600x1200x32bpp can be specified by `video=matroxfb:vesa:0x11C,depth:32'.
-
-
-X11
-===
-
-XF{68,86}_FBDev should work just fine, but it is non-accelerated. On non-intel
-architectures there are some glitches for 24bpp videomodes. 8, 16 and 32bpp
-works fine.
-
-Running another (accelerated) X-Server like XF86_SVGA works too. But (at least)
-XFree servers have big troubles in multihead configurations (even on first
-head, not even talking about second). Running XFree86 4.x accelerated mga
-driver is possible, but you must not enable DRI - if you do, resolution and
-color depth of your X desktop must match resolution and color depths of your
-virtual consoles, otherwise X will corrupt accelerator settings.
-
-
-SVGALib
-=======
-
-Driver contains SVGALib compatibility code. It is turned on by choosing textual
-mode for console. You can do it at boot time by using videomode
-2,3,7,0x108-0x10C or 0x1C0. At runtime, `fbset -depth 0' does this work.
-Unfortunately, after SVGALib application exits, screen contents is corrupted.
-Switching to another console and back fixes it. I hope that it is SVGALib's
-problem and not mine, but I'm not sure.
-
-
-Configuration
-=============
-
-You can pass kernel command line options to matroxfb with
-`video=matroxfb:option1,option2:value2,option3' (multiple options should be
-separated by comma, values are separated from options by `:').
-Accepted options:
-
-mem:X - size of memory (X can be in megabytes, kilobytes or bytes)
- You can only decrease value determined by driver because of
- it always probe for memory. Default is to use whole detected
- memory usable for on-screen display (i.e. max. 8 MB).
-disabled - do not load driver; you can use also `off', but `disabled'
- is here too.
-enabled - load driver, if you have `video=matroxfb:disabled' in LILO
- configuration, you can override it by this (you cannot override
- `off'). It is default.
-noaccel - do not use acceleration engine. It does not work on Alphas.
-accel - use acceleration engine. It is default.
-nopan - create initial consoles with vyres = yres, thus disabling virtual
- scrolling.
-pan - create initial consoles as tall as possible (vyres = memory/vxres).
- It is default.
-nopciretry - disable PCI retries. It is needed for some broken chipsets,
- it is autodetected for intel's 82437. In this case device does
- not comply to PCI 2.1 specs (it will not guarantee that every
- transaction terminate with success or retry in 32 PCLK).
-pciretry - enable PCI retries. It is default, except for intel's 82437.
-novga - disables VGA I/O ports. It is default if BIOS did not enable device.
- You should not use this option, some boards then do not restart
- without power off.
-vga - preserve state of VGA I/O ports. It is default. Driver does not
- enable VGA I/O if BIOS did not it (it is not safe to enable it in
- most cases).
-nobios - disables BIOS ROM. It is default if BIOS did not enable BIOS itself.
- You should not use this option, some boards then do not restart
- without power off.
-bios - preserve state of BIOS ROM. It is default. Driver does not enable
- BIOS if BIOS was not enabled before.
-noinit - tells driver, that devices were already initialized. You should use
- it if you have G100 and/or if driver cannot detect memory, you see
- strange pattern on screen and so on. Devices not enabled by BIOS
- are still initialized. It is default.
-init - driver initializes every device it knows about.
-memtype - specifies memory type, implies 'init'. This is valid only for G200
- and G400 and has following meaning:
- G200: 0 -> 2x128Kx32 chips, 2MB onboard, probably sgram
- 1 -> 2x128Kx32 chips, 4MB onboard, probably sgram
- 2 -> 2x256Kx32 chips, 4MB onboard, probably sgram
- 3 -> 2x256Kx32 chips, 8MB onboard, probably sgram
- 4 -> 2x512Kx16 chips, 8/16MB onboard, probably sdram only
- 5 -> same as above
- 6 -> 4x128Kx32 chips, 4MB onboard, probably sgram
- 7 -> 4x128Kx32 chips, 8MB onboard, probably sgram
- G400: 0 -> 2x512Kx16 SDRAM, 16/32MB
- 2x512Kx32 SGRAM, 16/32MB
- 1 -> 2x256Kx32 SGRAM, 8/16MB
- 2 -> 4x128Kx32 SGRAM, 8/16MB
- 3 -> 4x512Kx32 SDRAM, 32MB
- 4 -> 4x256Kx32 SGRAM, 16/32MB
- 5 -> 2x1Mx32 SDRAM, 32MB
- 6 -> reserved
- 7 -> reserved
- You should use sdram or sgram parameter in addition to memtype
- parameter.
-nomtrr - disables write combining on frame buffer. This slows down driver but
- there is reported minor incompatibility between GUS DMA and XFree
- under high loads if write combining is enabled (sound dropouts).
-mtrr - enables write combining on frame buffer. It speeds up video accesses
- much. It is default. You must have MTRR support enabled in kernel
- and your CPU must have MTRR (f.e. Pentium II have them).
-sgram - tells to driver that you have Gxx0 with SGRAM memory. It has no
- effect without `init'.
-sdram - tells to driver that you have Gxx0 with SDRAM memory.
- It is a default.
-inv24 - change timings parameters for 24bpp modes on Millennium and
- Millennium II. Specify this if you see strange color shadows around
- characters.
-noinv24 - use standard timings. It is the default.
-inverse - invert colors on screen (for LCD displays)
-noinverse - show true colors on screen. It is default.
-dev:X - bind driver to device X. Driver numbers device from 0 up to N,
- where device 0 is first `known' device found, 1 second and so on.
- lspci lists devices in this order.
- Default is `every' known device.
-nohwcursor - disables hardware cursor (use software cursor instead).
-hwcursor - enables hardware cursor. It is default. If you are using
- non-accelerated mode (`noaccel' or `fbset -accel false'), software
- cursor is used (except for text mode).
-noblink - disables cursor blinking. Cursor in text mode always blinks (hw
- limitation).
-blink - enables cursor blinking. It is default.
-nofastfont - disables fastfont feature. It is default.
-fastfont:X - enables fastfont feature. X specifies size of memory reserved for
- font data, it must be >= (fontwidth*fontheight*chars_in_font)/8.
- It is faster on Gx00 series, but slower on older cards.
-grayscale - enable grayscale summing. It works in PSEUDOCOLOR modes (text,
- 4bpp, 8bpp). In DIRECTCOLOR modes it is limited to characters
- displayed through putc/putcs. Direct accesses to framebuffer
- can paint colors.
-nograyscale - disable grayscale summing. It is default.
-cross4MB - enables that pixel line can cross 4MB boundary. It is default for
- non-Millennium.
-nocross4MB - pixel line must not cross 4MB boundary. It is default for
- Millennium I or II, because of these devices have hardware
- limitations which do not allow this. But this option is
- incompatible with some (if not all yet released) versions of
- XF86_FBDev.
-dfp - enables digital flat panel interface. This option is incompatible with
- secondary (TV) output - if DFP is active, TV output must be
- inactive and vice versa. DFP always uses same timing as primary
- (monitor) output.
-dfp:X - use settings X for digital flat panel interface. X is number from
- 0 to 0xFF, and meaning of each individual bit is described in
- G400 manual, in description of DAC register 0x1F. For normal operation
- you should set all bits to zero, except lowest bit. This lowest bit
- selects who is source of display clocks, whether G400, or panel.
- Default value is now read back from hardware - so you should specify
- this value only if you are also using `init' parameter.
-outputs:XYZ - set mapping between CRTC and outputs. Each letter can have value
- of 0 (for no CRTC), 1 (CRTC1) or 2 (CRTC2), and first letter corresponds
- to primary analog output, second letter to the secondary analog output
- and third letter to the DVI output. Default setting is 100 for
- cards below G400 or G400 without DFP, 101 for G400 with DFP, and
- 111 for G450 and G550. You can set mapping only on first card,
- use matroxset for setting up other devices.
-vesa:X - selects startup videomode. X is number from 0 to 0x1FF, see table
- above for detailed explanation. Default is 640x480x8bpp if driver
- has 8bpp support. Otherwise first available of 640x350x4bpp,
- 640x480x15bpp, 640x480x24bpp, 640x480x32bpp or 80x25 text
- (80x25 text is always available).
-
-If you are not satisfied with videomode selected by `vesa' option, you
-can modify it with these options:
-
-xres:X - horizontal resolution, in pixels. Default is derived from `vesa'
- option.
-yres:X - vertical resolution, in pixel lines. Default is derived from `vesa'
- option.
-upper:X - top boundary: lines between end of VSYNC pulse and start of first
- pixel line of picture. Default is derived from `vesa' option.
-lower:X - bottom boundary: lines between end of picture and start of VSYNC
- pulse. Default is derived from `vesa' option.
-vslen:X - length of VSYNC pulse, in lines. Default is derived from `vesa'
- option.
-left:X - left boundary: pixels between end of HSYNC pulse and first pixel.
- Default is derived from `vesa' option.
-right:X - right boundary: pixels between end of picture and start of HSYNC
- pulse. Default is derived from `vesa' option.
-hslen:X - length of HSYNC pulse, in pixels. Default is derived from `vesa'
- option.
-pixclock:X - dotclocks, in ps (picoseconds). Default is derived from `vesa'
- option and from `fh' and `fv' options.
-sync:X - sync. pulse - bit 0 inverts HSYNC polarity, bit 1 VSYNC polarity.
- If bit 3 (value 0x08) is set, composite sync instead of HSYNC is
- generated. If bit 5 (value 0x20) is set, sync on green is turned on.
- Do not forget that if you want sync on green, you also probably
- want composite sync.
- Default depends on `vesa'.
-depth:X - Bits per pixel: 0=text, 4,8,15,16,24 or 32. Default depends on
- `vesa'.
-
-If you know capabilities of your monitor, you can specify some (or all) of
-`maxclk', `fh' and `fv'. In this case, `pixclock' is computed so that
-pixclock <= maxclk, real_fh <= fh and real_fv <= fv.
-
-maxclk:X - maximum dotclock. X can be specified in MHz, kHz or Hz. Default is
- `don't care'.
-fh:X - maximum horizontal synchronization frequency. X can be specified
- in kHz or Hz. Default is `don't care'.
-fv:X - maximum vertical frequency. X must be specified in Hz. Default is
- 70 for modes derived from `vesa' with yres <= 400, 60Hz for
- yres > 400.

-Limitations
-===========
-
-There are known and unknown bugs, features and misfeatures.
-Currently there are following known bugs:
- + SVGALib does not restore screen on exit
- + generic fbcon-cfbX procedures do not work on Alphas. Due to this,
- `noaccel' (and cfb4 accel) driver does not work on Alpha. So everyone
- with access to /dev/fb* on Alpha can hang machine (you should restrict
- access to /dev/fb* - everyone with access to this device can destroy
- your monitor, believe me...).
- + 24bpp does not support correctly XF-FBDev on big-endian architectures.
- + interlaced text mode is not supported; it looks like hardware limitation,
- but I'm not sure.
- + Gxx0 SGRAM/SDRAM is not autodetected.
- + If you are using more than one framebuffer device, you must boot kernel
- with 'video=scrollback:0'.
- + maybe more...
-And following misfeatures:
- + SVGALib does not restore screen on exit.
- + pixclock for text modes is limited by hardware to
- 83 MHz on G200
- 66 MHz on Millennium I
- 60 MHz on Millennium II
- Because I have no access to other devices, I do not know specific
- frequencies for them. So driver does not check this and allows you to
- set frequency higher that this. It causes sparks, black holes and other
- pretty effects on screen. Device was not destroyed during tests. :-)
- + my Millennium G200 oscillator has frequency range from 35 MHz to 380 MHz
- (and it works with 8bpp on about 320 MHz dotclocks (and changed mclk)).
- But Matrox says on product sheet that VCO limit is 50-250 MHz, so I believe
- them (maybe that chip overheats, but it has a very big cooler (G100 has
- none), so it should work).
- + special mixed video/graphics videomodes of Mystique and Gx00 - 2G8V16 and
- G16V16 are not supported
- + color keying is not supported
- + feature connector of Mystique and Gx00 is set to VGA mode (it is disabled
- by BIOS)
- + DDC (monitor detection) is supported through dualhead driver
- + some check for input values are not so strict how it should be (you can
- specify vslen=4000 and so on).
- + maybe more...
-And following features:
- + 4bpp is available only on Millennium I and Millennium II. It is hardware
- limitation.
- + selection between 1:5:5:5 and 5:6:5 16bpp videomode is done by -rgba
- option of fbset: "fbset -depth 16 -rgba 5,5,5" selects 1:5:5:5, anything
- else selects 5:6:5 mode.
- + text mode uses 6 bit VGA palette instead of 8 bit (one of 262144 colors
- instead of one of 16M colors). It is due to hardware limitation of
- Millennium I/II and SVGALib compatibility.
-

-Benchmarks
-==========
-It is time to redraw whole screen 1000 times in 1024x768, 60Hz. It is
-time for draw 6144000 characters on screen through /dev/vcsa
-(for 32bpp it is about 3GB of data (exactly 3000 MB); for 8x16 font in
-16 seconds, i.e. 187 MBps).
-Times were obtained from one older version of driver, now they are about 3%
-faster, it is kernel-space only time on P-II/350 MHz, Millennium I in 33 MHz
-PCI slot, G200 in AGP 2x slot. I did not test vgacon.

- + secondary head always powerups in 640x480@60-32 videomode. You have to use
- fbset to change this mode.
- + secondary head always powerups in monitor mode. You have to use fbmatroxset
- to change it to TV mode. Also, you must select at least 525 lines for
- NTSC output and 625 lines for PAL output.
- + kernel is not fully multihead ready. So some things are impossible to do.

+SH7760/SH7763 integrated LCDC Framebuffer driver
+================================================
+
+0. Overview
+-----------
+The SH7760/SH7763 have an integrated LCD Display controller (LCDC) which
+supports (in theory) resolutions ranging from 1x1 to 1024x1024,
+with color depths ranging from 1 to 16 bits, on STN, DSTN and TFT Panels.
+
+Caveats:
+
+* Framebuffer memory must be a large chunk allocated at the top
+ of Area3 (HW requirement). Because of this requirement you should NOT
+ make the driver a module since at runtime it may become impossible to
+ get a large enough contiguous chunk of memory.
+
+* The driver does not support changing resolution while loaded
+ (displays aren't hotpluggable anyway)
+
+* Heavy flickering may be observed
+ a) if you're using 15/16bit color modes at >= 640x480 px resolutions,
+ b) during PCMCIA (or any other slow bus) activity.
+
+* Rotation works only 90degress clockwise, and only if horizontal
+ resolution is <= 320 pixels.

+
+ PFC registers PCCR and PCDR must be set to peripheral mode.
+ (write zeros to both).
+
+The driver does NOT do the above for you since board setup is, well, job
+of the board setup code.
+
+2. Panel definitions

+attached. Data must be wrapped in a "struct sh7760fb_platdata" and

+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This is a frame buffer device driver for 3dfx' Voodoo Graphics
+(aka voodoo 1, aka sst1) and Voodoo² (aka Voodoo 2, aka CVG) based
+video boards. It's highly experimental code, but is guaranteed to work
+on my computer, with my "Maxi Gamer 3D" and "Maxi Gamer 3d²" boards,
+and with me "between chair and keyboard". Some people tested other
+combinations and it seems that it works.
+The main page is located at <http://sstfb.sourceforge.net>, and if
+you want the latest version, check out the CVS, as the driver is a work
+in progress, I feel uncomfortable with releasing tarballs of something
+not completely working...Don't worry, it's still more than usable
+(I eat my own dog food)
+
+Please read the Bug section, and report any success or failure to me
+(Ghozlane Toumi <gtoumi@laposte.net>).
+BTW, If you have only one monitor , and you don't feel like playing
+with the vga passthrou cable, I can only suggest borrowing a screen
+somewhere...
+
+
+Installation
+============
+
+This driver (should) work on ix86, with "late" 2.2.x kernel (tested
+with x = 19) and "recent" 2.4.x kernel, as a module or compiled in.
+It has been included in mainstream kernel since the infamous 2.4.10.
+You can apply the patches found in `sstfb/kernel/*-2.{2|4}.x.patch`,
+and copy sstfb.c to linux/drivers/video/, or apply a single patch,
+`sstfb/patch-2.{2|4}.x-sstfb-yymmdd` to your linux source tree.
+
+Then configure your kernel as usual: choose "m" or "y" to 3Dfx Voodoo
+Graphics in section "console". Compile, install, have fun... and please
+drop me a report :)
+
+
+Module Usage
+============
+
+.. warning::
+
+ #. You should read completely this section before issuing any command.
+
+ #. If you have only one monitor to play with, once you insmod the
+ module, the 3dfx takes control of the output, so you'll have to
+ plug the monitor to the "normal" video board in order to issue
+ the commands, or you can blindly use sst_dbg_vgapass
+ in the tools directory (See Tools). The latest solution is pass the
+ parameter vgapass=1 when insmodding the driver. (See Kernel/Modules
+ Options)
+
+Module insertion
+----------------
+
+ #. insmod sstfb.o
+
+ you should see some strange output from the board:
+ a big blue square, a green and a red small squares and a vertical
+ white rectangle. why? the function's name is self-explanatory:
+ "sstfb_test()"...
+ (if you don't have a second monitor, you'll have to plug your monitor
+ directly to the 2D videocard to see what you're typing)
+
+ #. con2fb /dev/fbx /dev/ttyx
+
+ bind a tty to the new frame buffer. if you already have a frame
+ buffer driver, the voodoo fb will likely be /dev/fb1. if not,
+ the device will be /dev/fb0. You can check this by doing a
+ cat /proc/fb. You can find a copy of con2fb in tools/ directory.
+ if you don't have another fb device, this step is superfluous,
+ as the console subsystem automagicaly binds ttys to the fb.
+ #. switch to the virtual console you just mapped. "tadaaa" ...
+
+Module removal
+--------------
+
+ #. con2fb /dev/fbx /dev/ttyx
+
+ bind the tty to the old frame buffer so the module can be removed.
+ (how does it work with vgacon ? short answer : it doesn't work)
+
+ #. rmmod sstfb

+
+- `con2fb`, maps a tty to a fbramebuffer::
+
+ con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty5
+
+- `sst_dbg_vgapass`, changes vga passthrou. You have to recompile the
+ driver with SST_DEBUG and SST_DEBUG_IOCTL set to 1::
+
+ sst_dbg_vgapass /dev/fb1 1 (enables vga cable)
+ sst_dbg_vgapass /dev/fb1 0 (disables vga cable)
+
+- `glide_reset`, resets the voodoo using glide
+ use this after rmmoding sstfb, if the module refuses to

+Bugs
+====

+- When using XFree86 FBdev (X over fbdev) you may see strange color

-Introduction
-
- This is a frame buffer device driver for 3dfx' Voodoo Graphics
- (aka voodoo 1, aka sst1) and Voodoo² (aka Voodoo 2, aka CVG) based
- video boards. It's highly experimental code, but is guaranteed to work
- on my computer, with my "Maxi Gamer 3D" and "Maxi Gamer 3d²" boards,
- and with me "between chair and keyboard". Some people tested other
- combinations and it seems that it works.
- The main page is located at <http://sstfb.sourceforge.net>, and if
- you want the latest version, check out the CVS, as the driver is a work
- in progress, I feel uncomfortable with releasing tarballs of something
- not completely working...Don't worry, it's still more than usable
- (I eat my own dog food)
-
- Please read the Bug section, and report any success or failure to me
- (Ghozlane Toumi <gtoumi@laposte.net>).
- BTW, If you have only one monitor , and you don't feel like playing
- with the vga passthrou cable, I can only suggest borrowing a screen
- somewhere...
-
-
-Installation
-
- This driver (should) work on ix86, with "late" 2.2.x kernel (tested
- with x = 19) and "recent" 2.4.x kernel, as a module or compiled in.
- It has been included in mainstream kernel since the infamous 2.4.10.
- You can apply the patches found in sstfb/kernel/*-2.{2|4}.x.patch,
- and copy sstfb.c to linux/drivers/video/, or apply a single patch,
- sstfb/patch-2.{2|4}.x-sstfb-yymmdd to your linux source tree.
-
- Then configure your kernel as usual: choose "m" or "y" to 3Dfx Voodoo
- Graphics in section "console". Compile, install, have fun... and please
- drop me a report :)
-
-
-Module Usage
-
- Warnings.
- # You should read completely this section before issuing any command.
- # If you have only one monitor to play with, once you insmod the
- module, the 3dfx takes control of the output, so you'll have to
- plug the monitor to the "normal" video board in order to issue
- the commands, or you can blindly use sst_dbg_vgapass
- in the tools directory (See Tools). The latest solution is pass the
- parameter vgapass=1 when insmodding the driver. (See Kernel/Modules
- Options)
-
- Module insertion:
- # insmod sstfb.o
- you should see some strange output from the board:
- a big blue square, a green and a red small squares and a vertical
- white rectangle. why? the function's name is self-explanatory:
- "sstfb_test()"...
- (if you don't have a second monitor, you'll have to plug your monitor
- directly to the 2D videocard to see what you're typing)
- # con2fb /dev/fbx /dev/ttyx
- bind a tty to the new frame buffer. if you already have a frame
- buffer driver, the voodoo fb will likely be /dev/fb1. if not,
- the device will be /dev/fb0. You can check this by doing a
- cat /proc/fb. You can find a copy of con2fb in tools/ directory.
- if you don't have another fb device, this step is superfluous,
- as the console subsystem automagicaly binds ttys to the fb.
- # switch to the virtual console you just mapped. "tadaaa" ...
-
- Module removal:
- # con2fb /dev/fbx /dev/ttyx
- bind the tty to the old frame buffer so the module can be removed.
- (how does it work with vgacon ? short answer : it doesn't work)
- # rmmod sstfb
-
-
-Kernel/Modules Options
-
- You can pass some options to the sstfb module, and via the kernel
- command line when the driver is compiled in:
- for module : insmod sstfb.o option1=value1 option2=value2 ...
- in kernel : video=sstfb:option1,option2:value2,option3 ...
-
- sstfb supports the following options :

+ secondary device.
+
+ For example:

+
+ modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=DVI
+
+ To enable two devices, such as CRT+DVI::
+
+ modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=CRT+DVI;
+
+ For DuoView case, we can use::
+
+ modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=CRT+DVI
+
+ OR::
+
+ modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=DVI+CRT...
+
+ For SAMM case:
+
+ If CRT is primary and DVI is secondary, we should use::
+
+ modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=CRT+DVI viafb_SAMM_ON=1...
+
+ If DVI is primary and CRT is secondary, we should use::
+
+ modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=DVI+CRT viafb_SAMM_ON=1...
+
+ viafb_display_hardware_layout:
+ This option is used to specify display hardware layout for CX700 chip.
+
+ - 1 : LCD only
+ - 2 : DVI only
+ - 3 : LCD+DVI (default)
+ - 4 : LCD1+LCD2 (internal + internal)

+ This option is used to set second device memory size(MB) in SAMM case.
+ The minimal size is 16.
+
+ viafb_platform_epia_dvi:
+ This option is used to enable DVI on EPIA - M
+
+ - 0 : No DVI on EPIA - M (default)
+ - 1 : DVI on EPIA - M
+

+ This option is used to specify LCD output port,
+ available values are "DVP0" "DVP1" "DFP_HIGHLOW" "DFP_HIGH" "DFP_LOW".
+
+ for external LCD + external DVI on CX700(External LCD is on DVP0),
+ we should use::
+
+ modprobe viafb viafb_lcd_port=DVP0...
+
+Notes:
+ 1. CRT may not display properly for DuoView CRT & DVI display at
+ the "640x480" PAL mode with DVI overscan enabled.
+ 2. SAMM stands for single adapter multi monitors. It is different from
+ multi-head since SAMM support multi monitor at driver layers, thus fbcon
+ layer doesn't even know about it; SAMM's second screen doesn't have a
+ device node file, thus a user mode application can't access it directly.
+ When SAMM is enabled, viafb_mode and viafb_mode1, viafb_bpp and
+ viafb_bpp1, viafb_refresh and viafb_refresh1 can be different.
+ 3. When console is depending on viafbinfo1, dynamically change resolution
+ and bpp, need to call VIAFB specified ioctl interface VIAFB_SET_DEVICE
+ instead of calling common ioctl function FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO since
+ viafb doesn't support multi-head well, or it will cause screen crush.
+
+
+Configure viafb with "fbset" tool
+---------------------------------
+
+ "fbset" is an inbox utility of Linux.
+
+ 1. Inquire current viafb information, type::
+
+ # fbset -i
+
+ 2. Set various resolutions and viafb_refresh rates::
+
+ # fbset <resolution-vertical_sync>
+
+ example::
+
+ # fbset "1024x768-75"
+
+ or::
+
+ # fbset -g 1024 768 1024 768 32
+
+ Check the file "/etc/fb.modes" to find display modes available.
+
+ 3. Set the color depth::
+
+ # fbset -depth <value>
+
+ example::
+
+ # fbset -depth 16
+
+
+Configure viafb via /proc
+-------------------------
+ The following files exist in /proc/viafb
+
+ supported_output_devices
+ This read-only file contains a full ',' separated list containing all
+ output devices that could be available on your platform. It is likely
+ that not all of those have a connector on your hardware but it should
+ provide a good starting point to figure out which of those names match
+ a real connector.
+
+ Example::
+
+ # cat /proc/viafb/supported_output_devices
+
+ iga1/output_devices, iga2/output_devices
+ These two files are readable and writable. iga1 and iga2 are the two
+ independent units that produce the screen image. Those images can be
+ forwarded to one or more output devices. Reading those files is a way
+ to query which output devices are currently used by an iga.
+
+ Example::
+
+ # cat /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
+
+ If there are no output devices printed the output of this iga is lost.
+ This can happen for example if only one (the other) iga is used.
+ Writing to these files allows adjusting the output devices during
+ runtime. One can add new devices, remove existing ones or switch
+ between igas. Essentially you can write a ',' separated list of device
+ names (or a single one) in the same format as the output to those
+ files. You can add a '+' or '-' as a prefix allowing simple addition
+ and removal of devices. So a prefix '+' adds the devices from your list
+ to the already existing ones, '-' removes the listed devices from the
+ existing ones and if no prefix is given it replaces all existing ones
+ with the listed ones. If you remove devices they are expected to turn
+ off. If you add devices that are already part of the other iga they are
+ removed there and added to the new one.
+
+ Examples:
+
+ Add CRT as output device to iga1::
+
+ # echo +CRT > /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
+
+ Remove (turn off) DVP1 and LVDS1 as output devices of iga2::
+
+ # echo -DVP1,LVDS1 > /proc/viafb/iga2/output_devices
+
+ Replace all iga1 output devices by CRT::
+
+ # echo CRT > /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
+
+
+Bootup with viafb
+-----------------
+
+Add the following line to your grub.conf::
+
+ append = "video=viafb:viafb_mode=1024x768,viafb_bpp=32,viafb_refresh=85"

- viafb_active_dev:
- This option is used to specify active devices.(CRT, DVI, CRT+LCD...)
- DVI stands for DVI or HDMI, E.g., If you want to enable HDMI,
- set viafb_active_dev=DVI. In SAMM case, the previous of
- viafb_active_dev is primary device, and the following is
- secondary device.
-
- For example:
- To enable one device, such as DVI only, we can use:
- modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=DVI
- To enable two devices, such as CRT+DVI:
- modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=CRT+DVI;
-
- For DuoView case, we can use:
- modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=CRT+DVI
- OR
- modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=DVI+CRT...
-
- For SAMM case:
- If CRT is primary and DVI is secondary, we should use:
- modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=CRT+DVI viafb_SAMM_ON=1...
- If DVI is primary and CRT is secondary, we should use:
- modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=DVI+CRT viafb_SAMM_ON=1...
-
- viafb_display_hardware_layout:
- This option is used to specify display hardware layout for CX700 chip.
- 1 : LCD only
- 2 : DVI only
- 3 : LCD+DVI (default)
- 4 : LCD1+LCD2 (internal + internal)
- 16: LCD1+ExternalLCD2 (internal + external)
-
- viafb_second_size:
- This option is used to set second device memory size(MB) in SAMM case.
- The minimal size is 16.
-
- viafb_platform_epia_dvi:
- This option is used to enable DVI on EPIA - M
- 0 : No DVI on EPIA - M (default)
- 1 : DVI on EPIA - M
-
- viafb_bus_width:
- When using 24 - Bit Bus Width Digital Interface,
- this option should be set.
- 12: 12-Bit LVDS or 12-Bit TMDS (default)
- 24: 24-Bit LVDS or 24-Bit TMDS
-
- viafb_device_lcd_dualedge:
- When using Dual Edge Panel, this option should be set.
- 0 : No Dual Edge Panel (default)
- 1 : Dual Edge Panel
-
- viafb_lcd_port:
- This option is used to specify LCD output port,
- available values are "DVP0" "DVP1" "DFP_HIGHLOW" "DFP_HIGH" "DFP_LOW".
- for external LCD + external DVI on CX700(External LCD is on DVP0),
- we should use:
- modprobe viafb viafb_lcd_port=DVP0...
-
-Notes:
- 1. CRT may not display properly for DuoView CRT & DVI display at
- the "640x480" PAL mode with DVI overscan enabled.
- 2. SAMM stands for single adapter multi monitors. It is different from
- multi-head since SAMM support multi monitor at driver layers, thus fbcon
- layer doesn't even know about it; SAMM's second screen doesn't have a
- device node file, thus a user mode application can't access it directly.
- When SAMM is enabled, viafb_mode and viafb_mode1, viafb_bpp and
- viafb_bpp1, viafb_refresh and viafb_refresh1 can be different.
- 3. When console is depending on viafbinfo1, dynamically change resolution
- and bpp, need to call VIAFB specified ioctl interface VIAFB_SET_DEVICE
- instead of calling common ioctl function FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO since
- viafb doesn't support multi-head well, or it will cause screen crush.
-
-
-[Configure viafb with "fbset" tool]
------------------------------------
- "fbset" is an inbox utility of Linux.
- 1. Inquire current viafb information, type,
- # fbset -i
-
- 2. Set various resolutions and viafb_refresh rates,
- # fbset <resolution-vertical_sync>
-
- example,
- # fbset "1024x768-75"
- or
- # fbset -g 1024 768 1024 768 32
- Check the file "/etc/fb.modes" to find display modes available.
-
- 3. Set the color depth,
- # fbset -depth <value>
-
- example,
- # fbset -depth 16
-
-
-[Configure viafb via /proc]
----------------------------
- The following files exist in /proc/viafb
-
- supported_output_devices
-
- This read-only file contains a full ',' separated list containing all
- output devices that could be available on your platform. It is likely
- that not all of those have a connector on your hardware but it should
- provide a good starting point to figure out which of those names match
- a real connector.
- Example:
- # cat /proc/viafb/supported_output_devices
-
- iga1/output_devices
- iga2/output_devices
-
- These two files are readable and writable. iga1 and iga2 are the two
- independent units that produce the screen image. Those images can be
- forwarded to one or more output devices. Reading those files is a way
- to query which output devices are currently used by an iga.
- Example:
- # cat /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
- If there are no output devices printed the output of this iga is lost.
- This can happen for example if only one (the other) iga is used.
- Writing to these files allows adjusting the output devices during
- runtime. One can add new devices, remove existing ones or switch
- between igas. Essentially you can write a ',' separated list of device
- names (or a single one) in the same format as the output to those
- files. You can add a '+' or '-' as a prefix allowing simple addition
- and removal of devices. So a prefix '+' adds the devices from your list
- to the already existing ones, '-' removes the listed devices from the
- existing ones and if no prefix is given it replaces all existing ones
- with the listed ones. If you remove devices they are expected to turn
- off. If you add devices that are already part of the other iga they are
- removed there and added to the new one.
- Examples:
- Add CRT as output device to iga1
- # echo +CRT > /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
-
- Remove (turn off) DVP1 and LVDS1 as output devices of iga2
- # echo -DVP1,LVDS1 > /proc/viafb/iga2/output_devices
-
- Replace all iga1 output devices by CRT
- # echo CRT > /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
-
-
-[Bootup with viafb]:
---------------------
- Add the following line to your grub.conf:
- append = "video=viafb:viafb_mode=1024x768,viafb_bpp=32,viafb_refresh=85"

+The "ignore" mount option can be used to provide a generic indicator
+to applications that the mount entry should be ignored when displaying
+mount information.
+
+In other OSes that provide autofs and that provide a mount list to user
+space based on the kernel mount list a no-op mount option ("ignore" is
+the one use on the most common OSes) is allowed so that autofs file
+system users can optionally use it.
+
+This is intended to be used by user space programs to exclude autofs
+mounts from consideration when reading the mounts list.

+
+Tests
+=====
+
+To test fscrypt, use xfstests, which is Linux's de facto standard
+filesystem test suite. First, run all the tests in the "encrypt"
+group on the relevant filesystem(s). For example, to test ext4 and
+f2fs encryption using `kvm-xfstests
+<https://github.com/tytso/xfstests-bld/blob/master/Documentation/kvm-quickstart.md>`_::
+
+ kvm-xfstests -c ext4,f2fs -g encrypt
+
+UBIFS encryption can also be tested this way, but it should be done in
+a separate command, and it takes some time for kvm-xfstests to set up
+emulated UBI volumes::
+
+ kvm-xfstests -c ubifs -g encrypt
+
+No tests should fail. However, tests that use non-default encryption
+modes (e.g. generic/549 and generic/550) will be skipped if the needed
+algorithms were not built into the kernel's crypto API. Also, tests
+that access the raw block device (e.g. generic/399, generic/548,
+generic/549, generic/550) will be skipped on UBIFS.
+
+Besides running the "encrypt" group tests, for ext4 and f2fs it's also
+possible to run most xfstests with the "test_dummy_encryption" mount
+option. This option causes all new files to be automatically
+encrypted with a dummy key, without having to make any API calls.
+This tests the encrypted I/O paths more thoroughly. To do this with
+kvm-xfstests, use the "encrypt" filesystem configuration::
+
+ kvm-xfstests -c ext4/encrypt,f2fs/encrypt -g auto
+
+Because this runs many more tests than "-g encrypt" does, it takes
+much longer to run; so also consider using `gce-xfstests
+<https://github.com/tytso/xfstests-bld/blob/master/Documentation/gce-xfstests.md>`_
+instead of kvm-xfstests::
+
+ gce-xfstests -c ext4/encrypt,f2fs/encrypt -g auto

+Introduction
+============
+
+The Virtual File System (also known as the Virtual Filesystem Switch) is
+the software layer in the kernel that provides the filesystem interface
+to userspace programs. It also provides an abstraction within the
+kernel which allows different filesystem implementations to coexist.
+
+VFS system calls open(2), stat(2), read(2), write(2), chmod(2) and so on
+are called from a process context. Filesystem locking is described in
+the document Documentation/filesystems/Locking.
+
+
+Directory Entry Cache (dcache)
+------------------------------
+
+The VFS implements the open(2), stat(2), chmod(2), and similar system
+calls. The pathname argument that is passed to them is used by the VFS
+to search through the directory entry cache (also known as the dentry
+cache or dcache). This provides a very fast look-up mechanism to
+translate a pathname (filename) into a specific dentry. Dentries live
+in RAM and are never saved to disc: they exist only for performance.
+
+The dentry cache is meant to be a view into your entire filespace. As
+most computers cannot fit all dentries in the RAM at the same time, some
+bits of the cache are missing. In order to resolve your pathname into a
+dentry, the VFS may have to resort to creating dentries along the way,
+and then loading the inode. This is done by looking up the inode.
+
+
+The Inode Object
+----------------
+
+An individual dentry usually has a pointer to an inode. Inodes are
+filesystem objects such as regular files, directories, FIFOs and other
+beasts. They live either on the disc (for block device filesystems) or
+in the memory (for pseudo filesystems). Inodes that live on the disc
+are copied into the memory when required and changes to the inode are
+written back to disc. A single inode can be pointed to by multiple
+dentries (hard links, for example, do this).
+
+To look up an inode requires that the VFS calls the lookup() method of
+the parent directory inode. This method is installed by the specific
+filesystem implementation that the inode lives in. Once the VFS has the
+required dentry (and hence the inode), we can do all those boring things
+like open(2) the file, or stat(2) it to peek at the inode data. The
+stat(2) operation is fairly simple: once the VFS has the dentry, it
+peeks at the inode data and passes some of it back to userspace.
+
+
+The File Object
+---------------
+
+Opening a file requires another operation: allocation of a file
+structure (this is the kernel-side implementation of file descriptors).
+The freshly allocated file structure is initialized with a pointer to
+the dentry and a set of file operation member functions. These are
+taken from the inode data. The open() file method is then called so the
+specific filesystem implementation can do its work. You can see that
+this is another switch performed by the VFS. The file structure is
+placed into the file descriptor table for the process.
+
+Reading, writing and closing files (and other assorted VFS operations)
+is done by using the userspace file descriptor to grab the appropriate
+file structure, and then calling the required file structure method to
+do whatever is required. For as long as the file is open, it keeps the
+dentry in use, which in turn means that the VFS inode is still in use.
+
+
+Registering and Mounting a Filesystem
+=====================================
+
+To register and unregister a filesystem, use the following API
+functions:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <linux/fs.h>
+
+ extern int register_filesystem(struct file_system_type *);
+ extern int unregister_filesystem(struct file_system_type *);
+
+The passed struct file_system_type describes your filesystem. When a
+request is made to mount a filesystem onto a directory in your
+namespace, the VFS will call the appropriate mount() method for the
+specific filesystem. New vfsmount referring to the tree returned by
+->mount() will be attached to the mountpoint, so that when pathname
+resolution reaches the mountpoint it will jump into the root of that
+vfsmount.
+
+You can see all filesystems that are registered to the kernel in the
+file /proc/filesystems.
+
+
+struct file_system_type
+-----------------------
+
+This describes the filesystem. As of kernel 2.6.39, the following
+members are defined:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct file_system_operations {
+ const char *name;
+ int fs_flags;
+ struct dentry *(*mount) (struct file_system_type *, int,
+ const char *, void *);
+ void (*kill_sb) (struct super_block *);
+ struct module *owner;
+ struct file_system_type * next;
+ struct list_head fs_supers;
+ struct lock_class_key s_lock_key;
+ struct lock_class_key s_umount_key;
+ };
+
+``name``
+ the name of the filesystem type, such as "ext2", "iso9660",
+ "msdos" and so on
+
+``fs_flags``
+ various flags (i.e. FS_REQUIRES_DEV, FS_NO_DCACHE, etc.)
+
+``mount``
+ the method to call when a new instance of this filesystem should
+ be mounted
+
+``kill_sb``
+ the method to call when an instance of this filesystem should be
+ shut down
+
+
+``owner``
+ for internal VFS use: you should initialize this to THIS_MODULE
+ in most cases.
+
+``next``
+ for internal VFS use: you should initialize this to NULL
+
+ s_lock_key, s_umount_key: lockdep-specific
+
+The mount() method has the following arguments:
+
+``struct file_system_type *fs_type``
+ describes the filesystem, partly initialized by the specific
+ filesystem code
+
+``int flags``
+ mount flags
+
+``const char *dev_name``
+ the device name we are mounting.
+
+``void *data``
+ arbitrary mount options, usually comes as an ASCII string (see
+ "Mount Options" section)
+
+The mount() method must return the root dentry of the tree requested by
+caller. An active reference to its superblock must be grabbed and the
+superblock must be locked. On failure it should return ERR_PTR(error).
+
+The arguments match those of mount(2) and their interpretation depends
+on filesystem type. E.g. for block filesystems, dev_name is interpreted
+as block device name, that device is opened and if it contains a
+suitable filesystem image the method creates and initializes struct
+super_block accordingly, returning its root dentry to caller.
+
+->mount() may choose to return a subtree of existing filesystem - it
+doesn't have to create a new one. The main result from the caller's
+point of view is a reference to dentry at the root of (sub)tree to be
+attached; creation of new superblock is a common side effect.
+
+The most interesting member of the superblock structure that the mount()
+method fills in is the "s_op" field. This is a pointer to a "struct
+super_operations" which describes the next level of the filesystem
+implementation.
+
+Usually, a filesystem uses one of the generic mount() implementations
+and provides a fill_super() callback instead. The generic variants are:
+
+``mount_bdev``
+ mount a filesystem residing on a block device
+
+``mount_nodev``
+ mount a filesystem that is not backed by a device
+
+``mount_single``
+ mount a filesystem which shares the instance between all mounts
+
+A fill_super() callback implementation has the following arguments:
+
+``struct super_block *sb``
+ the superblock structure. The callback must initialize this
+ properly.
+
+``void *data``
+ arbitrary mount options, usually comes as an ASCII string (see
+ "Mount Options" section)
+
+``int silent``
+ whether or not to be silent on error
+
+
+The Superblock Object
+=====================
+
+A superblock object represents a mounted filesystem.
+
+
+struct super_operations
+-----------------------
+
+This describes how the VFS can manipulate the superblock of your
+filesystem. As of kernel 2.6.22, the following members are defined:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct super_operations {
+ struct inode *(*alloc_inode)(struct super_block *sb);
+ void (*destroy_inode)(struct inode *);
+
+ void (*dirty_inode) (struct inode *, int flags);
+ int (*write_inode) (struct inode *, int);
+ void (*drop_inode) (struct inode *);
+ void (*delete_inode) (struct inode *);
+ void (*put_super) (struct super_block *);
+ int (*sync_fs)(struct super_block *sb, int wait);
+ int (*freeze_fs) (struct super_block *);
+ int (*unfreeze_fs) (struct super_block *);
+ int (*statfs) (struct dentry *, struct kstatfs *);
+ int (*remount_fs) (struct super_block *, int *, char *);
+ void (*clear_inode) (struct inode *);
+ void (*umount_begin) (struct super_block *);
+
+ int (*show_options)(struct seq_file *, struct dentry *);
+
+ ssize_t (*quota_read)(struct super_block *, int, char *, size_t, loff_t);
+ ssize_t (*quota_write)(struct super_block *, int, const char *, size_t, loff_t);
+ int (*nr_cached_objects)(struct super_block *);
+ void (*free_cached_objects)(struct super_block *, int);
+ };
+
+All methods are called without any locks being held, unless otherwise
+noted. This means that most methods can block safely. All methods are
+only called from a process context (i.e. not from an interrupt handler
+or bottom half).
+
+``alloc_inode``
+ this method is called by alloc_inode() to allocate memory for
+ struct inode and initialize it. If this function is not
+ defined, a simple 'struct inode' is allocated. Normally
+ alloc_inode will be used to allocate a larger structure which
+ contains a 'struct inode' embedded within it.
+
+``destroy_inode``
+ this method is called by destroy_inode() to release resources
+ allocated for struct inode. It is only required if
+ ->alloc_inode was defined and simply undoes anything done by
+ ->alloc_inode.
+
+``dirty_inode``
+ this method is called by the VFS to mark an inode dirty.
+
+``write_inode``
+ this method is called when the VFS needs to write an inode to
+ disc. The second parameter indicates whether the write should
+ be synchronous or not, not all filesystems check this flag.
+
+``drop_inode``
+ called when the last access to the inode is dropped, with the
+ inode->i_lock spinlock held.
+
+ This method should be either NULL (normal UNIX filesystem
+ semantics) or "generic_delete_inode" (for filesystems that do
+ not want to cache inodes - causing "delete_inode" to always be
+ called regardless of the value of i_nlink)
+
+ The "generic_delete_inode()" behavior is equivalent to the old
+ practice of using "force_delete" in the put_inode() case, but
+ does not have the races that the "force_delete()" approach had.
+
+``delete_inode``
+ called when the VFS wants to delete an inode
+
+``put_super``
+ called when the VFS wishes to free the superblock
+ (i.e. unmount). This is called with the superblock lock held
+
+``sync_fs``
+ called when VFS is writing out all dirty data associated with a
+ superblock. The second parameter indicates whether the method
+ should wait until the write out has been completed. Optional.
+
+``freeze_fs``
+ called when VFS is locking a filesystem and forcing it into a
+ consistent state. This method is currently used by the Logical
+ Volume Manager (LVM).
+
+``unfreeze_fs``
+ called when VFS is unlocking a filesystem and making it writable
+ again.
+
+``statfs``
+ called when the VFS needs to get filesystem statistics.
+
+``remount_fs``
+ called when the filesystem is remounted. This is called with
+ the kernel lock held
+
+``clear_inode``
+ called then the VFS clears the inode. Optional
+
+``umount_begin``
+ called when the VFS is unmounting a filesystem.
+
+``show_options``
+ called by the VFS to show mount options for /proc/<pid>/mounts.
+ (see "Mount Options" section)
+
+``quota_read``
+ called by the VFS to read from filesystem quota file.
+
+``quota_write``
+ called by the VFS to write to filesystem quota file.
+
+``nr_cached_objects``
+ called by the sb cache shrinking function for the filesystem to
+ return the number of freeable cached objects it contains.
+ Optional.
+
+``free_cache_objects``
+ called by the sb cache shrinking function for the filesystem to
+ scan the number of objects indicated to try to free them.
+ Optional, but any filesystem implementing this method needs to
+ also implement ->nr_cached_objects for it to be called
+ correctly.
+
+ We can't do anything with any errors that the filesystem might
+ encountered, hence the void return type. This will never be
+ called if the VM is trying to reclaim under GFP_NOFS conditions,
+ hence this method does not need to handle that situation itself.
+
+ Implementations must include conditional reschedule calls inside
+ any scanning loop that is done. This allows the VFS to
+ determine appropriate scan batch sizes without having to worry
+ about whether implementations will cause holdoff problems due to
+ large scan batch sizes.
+
+Whoever sets up the inode is responsible for filling in the "i_op"
+field. This is a pointer to a "struct inode_operations" which describes
+the methods that can be performed on individual inodes.
+
+
+struct xattr_handlers
+---------------------
+
+On filesystems that support extended attributes (xattrs), the s_xattr
+superblock field points to a NULL-terminated array of xattr handlers.
+Extended attributes are name:value pairs.
+
+``name``
+ Indicates that the handler matches attributes with the specified
+ name (such as "system.posix_acl_access"); the prefix field must
+ be NULL.
+
+``prefix``
+ Indicates that the handler matches all attributes with the
+ specified name prefix (such as "user."); the name field must be
+ NULL.
+
+``list``
+ Determine if attributes matching this xattr handler should be
+ listed for a particular dentry. Used by some listxattr
+ implementations like generic_listxattr.
+
+``get``
+ Called by the VFS to get the value of a particular extended
+ attribute. This method is called by the getxattr(2) system
+ call.
+
+``set``
+ Called by the VFS to set the value of a particular extended
+ attribute. When the new value is NULL, called to remove a
+ particular extended attribute. This method is called by the the
+ setxattr(2) and removexattr(2) system calls.
+
+When none of the xattr handlers of a filesystem match the specified
+attribute name or when a filesystem doesn't support extended attributes,
+the various ``*xattr(2)`` system calls return -EOPNOTSUPP.
+
+
+The Inode Object
+================
+
+An inode object represents an object within the filesystem.
+
+
+struct inode_operations
+-----------------------
+
+This describes how the VFS can manipulate an inode in your filesystem.
+As of kernel 2.6.22, the following members are defined:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct inode_operations {
+ int (*create) (struct inode *,struct dentry *, umode_t, bool);
+ struct dentry * (*lookup) (struct inode *,struct dentry *, unsigned int);
+ int (*link) (struct dentry *,struct inode *,struct dentry *);
+ int (*unlink) (struct inode *,struct dentry *);
+ int (*symlink) (struct inode *,struct dentry *,const char *);
+ int (*mkdir) (struct inode *,struct dentry *,umode_t);
+ int (*rmdir) (struct inode *,struct dentry *);
+ int (*mknod) (struct inode *,struct dentry *,umode_t,dev_t);
+ int (*rename) (struct inode *, struct dentry *,
+ struct inode *, struct dentry *, unsigned int);
+ int (*readlink) (struct dentry *, char __user *,int);
+ const char *(*get_link) (struct dentry *, struct inode *,
+ struct delayed_call *);
+ int (*permission) (struct inode *, int);
+ int (*get_acl)(struct inode *, int);
+ int (*setattr) (struct dentry *, struct iattr *);
+ int (*getattr) (const struct path *, struct kstat *, u32, unsigned int);
+ ssize_t (*listxattr) (struct dentry *, char *, size_t);
+ void (*update_time)(struct inode *, struct timespec *, int);
+ int (*atomic_open)(struct inode *, struct dentry *, struct file *,
+ unsigned open_flag, umode_t create_mode);
+ int (*tmpfile) (struct inode *, struct dentry *, umode_t);
+ };
+
+Again, all methods are called without any locks being held, unless
+otherwise noted.
+
+``create``
+ called by the open(2) and creat(2) system calls. Only required
+ if you want to support regular files. The dentry you get should
+ not have an inode (i.e. it should be a negative dentry). Here
+ you will probably call d_instantiate() with the dentry and the
+ newly created inode
+
+``lookup``
+ called when the VFS needs to look up an inode in a parent
+ directory. The name to look for is found in the dentry. This
+ method must call d_add() to insert the found inode into the
+ dentry. The "i_count" field in the inode structure should be
+ incremented. If the named inode does not exist a NULL inode
+ should be inserted into the dentry (this is called a negative
+ dentry). Returning an error code from this routine must only be
+ done on a real error, otherwise creating inodes with system
+ calls like create(2), mknod(2), mkdir(2) and so on will fail.
+ If you wish to overload the dentry methods then you should
+ initialise the "d_dop" field in the dentry; this is a pointer to
+ a struct "dentry_operations". This method is called with the
+ directory inode semaphore held
+
+``link``
+ called by the link(2) system call. Only required if you want to
+ support hard links. You will probably need to call
+ d_instantiate() just as you would in the create() method
+
+``unlink``
+ called by the unlink(2) system call. Only required if you want
+ to support deleting inodes
+
+``symlink``
+ called by the symlink(2) system call. Only required if you want
+ to support symlinks. You will probably need to call
+ d_instantiate() just as you would in the create() method
+
+``mkdir``
+ called by the mkdir(2) system call. Only required if you want
+ to support creating subdirectories. You will probably need to
+ call d_instantiate() just as you would in the create() method
+
+``rmdir``
+ called by the rmdir(2) system call. Only required if you want
+ to support deleting subdirectories
+
+``mknod``
+ called by the mknod(2) system call to create a device (char,
+ block) inode or a named pipe (FIFO) or socket. Only required if
+ you want to support creating these types of inodes. You will
+ probably need to call d_instantiate() just as you would in the
+ create() method
+
+``rename``
+ called by the rename(2) system call to rename the object to have
+ the parent and name given by the second inode and dentry.
+
+ The filesystem must return -EINVAL for any unsupported or
+ unknown flags. Currently the following flags are implemented:
+ (1) RENAME_NOREPLACE: this flag indicates that if the target of
+ the rename exists the rename should fail with -EEXIST instead of
+ replacing the target. The VFS already checks for existence, so
+ for local filesystems the RENAME_NOREPLACE implementation is
+ equivalent to plain rename.
+ (2) RENAME_EXCHANGE: exchange source and target. Both must
+ exist; this is checked by the VFS. Unlike plain rename, source
+ and target may be of different type.
+
+``get_link``
+ called by the VFS to follow a symbolic link to the inode it
+ points to. Only required if you want to support symbolic links.
+ This method returns the symlink body to traverse (and possibly
+ resets the current position with nd_jump_link()). If the body
+ won't go away until the inode is gone, nothing else is needed;
+ if it needs to be otherwise pinned, arrange for its release by
+ having get_link(..., ..., done) do set_delayed_call(done,
+ destructor, argument). In that case destructor(argument) will
+ be called once VFS is done with the body you've returned. May
+ be called in RCU mode; that is indicated by NULL dentry
+ argument. If request can't be handled without leaving RCU mode,
+ have it return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD).
+
+ If the filesystem stores the symlink target in ->i_link, the
+ VFS may use it directly without calling ->get_link(); however,
+ ->get_link() must still be provided. ->i_link must not be
+ freed until after an RCU grace period. Writing to ->i_link
+ post-iget() time requires a 'release' memory barrier.
+
+``readlink``
+ this is now just an override for use by readlink(2) for the
+ cases when ->get_link uses nd_jump_link() or object is not in
+ fact a symlink. Normally filesystems should only implement
+ ->get_link for symlinks and readlink(2) will automatically use
+ that.
+
+``permission``
+ called by the VFS to check for access rights on a POSIX-like
+ filesystem.
+
+ May be called in rcu-walk mode (mask & MAY_NOT_BLOCK). If in
+ rcu-walk mode, the filesystem must check the permission without
+ blocking or storing to the inode.
+
+ If a situation is encountered that rcu-walk cannot handle,
+ return
+ -ECHILD and it will be called again in ref-walk mode.
+
+``setattr``
+ called by the VFS to set attributes for a file. This method is
+ called by chmod(2) and related system calls.
+
+``getattr``
+ called by the VFS to get attributes of a file. This method is
+ called by stat(2) and related system calls.
+
+``listxattr``
+ called by the VFS to list all extended attributes for a given
+ file. This method is called by the listxattr(2) system call.
+
+``update_time``
+ called by the VFS to update a specific time or the i_version of
+ an inode. If this is not defined the VFS will update the inode
+ itself and call mark_inode_dirty_sync.
+
+``atomic_open``
+ called on the last component of an open. Using this optional
+ method the filesystem can look up, possibly create and open the
+ file in one atomic operation. If it wants to leave actual
+ opening to the caller (e.g. if the file turned out to be a
+ symlink, device, or just something filesystem won't do atomic
+ open for), it may signal this by returning finish_no_open(file,
+ dentry). This method is only called if the last component is
+ negative or needs lookup. Cached positive dentries are still
+ handled by f_op->open(). If the file was created, FMODE_CREATED
+ flag should be set in file->f_mode. In case of O_EXCL the
+ method must only succeed if the file didn't exist and hence
+ FMODE_CREATED shall always be set on success.
+
+``tmpfile``
+ called in the end of O_TMPFILE open(). Optional, equivalent to
+ atomically creating, opening and unlinking a file in given
+ directory.
+
+
+The Address Space Object
+========================
+
+The address space object is used to group and manage pages in the page
+cache. It can be used to keep track of the pages in a file (or anything
+else) and also track the mapping of sections of the file into process
+address spaces.
+
+There are a number of distinct yet related services that an
+address-space can provide. These include communicating memory pressure,
+page lookup by address, and keeping track of pages tagged as Dirty or
+Writeback.
+
+The first can be used independently to the others. The VM can try to
+either write dirty pages in order to clean them, or release clean pages
+in order to reuse them. To do this it can call the ->writepage method
+on dirty pages, and ->releasepage on clean pages with PagePrivate set.
+Clean pages without PagePrivate and with no external references will be
+released without notice being given to the address_space.
+
+To achieve this functionality, pages need to be placed on an LRU with
+lru_cache_add and mark_page_active needs to be called whenever the page
+is used.
+
+Pages are normally kept in a radix tree index by ->index. This tree
+maintains information about the PG_Dirty and PG_Writeback status of each
+page, so that pages with either of these flags can be found quickly.
+
+The Dirty tag is primarily used by mpage_writepages - the default
+->writepages method. It uses the tag to find dirty pages to call
+->writepage on. If mpage_writepages is not used (i.e. the address
+provides its own ->writepages) , the PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY tag is almost
+unused. write_inode_now and sync_inode do use it (through
+__sync_single_inode) to check if ->writepages has been successful in
+writing out the whole address_space.
+
+The Writeback tag is used by filemap*wait* and sync_page* functions, via
+filemap_fdatawait_range, to wait for all writeback to complete.
+
+An address_space handler may attach extra information to a page,
+typically using the 'private' field in the 'struct page'. If such
+information is attached, the PG_Private flag should be set. This will
+cause various VM routines to make extra calls into the address_space
+handler to deal with that data.
+
+An address space acts as an intermediate between storage and
+application. Data is read into the address space a whole page at a
+time, and provided to the application either by copying of the page, or
+by memory-mapping the page. Data is written into the address space by
+the application, and then written-back to storage typically in whole
+pages, however the address_space has finer control of write sizes.
+
+The read process essentially only requires 'readpage'. The write
+process is more complicated and uses write_begin/write_end or
+set_page_dirty to write data into the address_space, and writepage and
+writepages to writeback data to storage.
+
+Adding and removing pages to/from an address_space is protected by the
+inode's i_mutex.
+
+When data is written to a page, the PG_Dirty flag should be set. It
+typically remains set until writepage asks for it to be written. This
+should clear PG_Dirty and set PG_Writeback. It can be actually written
+at any point after PG_Dirty is clear. Once it is known to be safe,
+PG_Writeback is cleared.
+
+Writeback makes use of a writeback_control structure to direct the
+operations. This gives the the writepage and writepages operations some
+information about the nature of and reason for the writeback request,
+and the constraints under which it is being done. It is also used to
+return information back to the caller about the result of a writepage or
+writepages request.
+
+
+Handling errors during writeback
+--------------------------------
+
+Most applications that do buffered I/O will periodically call a file
+synchronization call (fsync, fdatasync, msync or sync_file_range) to
+ensure that data written has made it to the backing store. When there
+is an error during writeback, they expect that error to be reported when
+a file sync request is made. After an error has been reported on one
+request, subsequent requests on the same file descriptor should return
+0, unless further writeback errors have occurred since the previous file
+syncronization.
+
+Ideally, the kernel would report errors only on file descriptions on
+which writes were done that subsequently failed to be written back. The
+generic pagecache infrastructure does not track the file descriptions
+that have dirtied each individual page however, so determining which
+file descriptors should get back an error is not possible.
+
+Instead, the generic writeback error tracking infrastructure in the
+kernel settles for reporting errors to fsync on all file descriptions
+that were open at the time that the error occurred. In a situation with
+multiple writers, all of them will get back an error on a subsequent
+fsync, even if all of the writes done through that particular file
+descriptor succeeded (or even if there were no writes on that file
+descriptor at all).
+
+Filesystems that wish to use this infrastructure should call
+mapping_set_error to record the error in the address_space when it
+occurs. Then, after writing back data from the pagecache in their
+file->fsync operation, they should call file_check_and_advance_wb_err to
+ensure that the struct file's error cursor has advanced to the correct
+point in the stream of errors emitted by the backing device(s).
+
+
+struct address_space_operations
+-------------------------------
+
+This describes how the VFS can manipulate mapping of a file to page
+cache in your filesystem. The following members are defined:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct address_space_operations {
+ int (*writepage)(struct page *page, struct writeback_control *wbc);
+ int (*readpage)(struct file *, struct page *);
+ int (*writepages)(struct address_space *, struct writeback_control *);
+ int (*set_page_dirty)(struct page *page);
+ int (*readpages)(struct file *filp, struct address_space *mapping,
+ struct list_head *pages, unsigned nr_pages);
+ int (*write_begin)(struct file *, struct address_space *mapping,
+ loff_t pos, unsigned len, unsigned flags,
+ struct page **pagep, void **fsdata);
+ int (*write_end)(struct file *, struct address_space *mapping,
+ loff_t pos, unsigned len, unsigned copied,
+ struct page *page, void *fsdata);
+ sector_t (*bmap)(struct address_space *, sector_t);
+ void (*invalidatepage) (struct page *, unsigned int, unsigned int);
+ int (*releasepage) (struct page *, int);
+ void (*freepage)(struct page *);
+ ssize_t (*direct_IO)(struct kiocb *, struct iov_iter *iter);
+ /* isolate a page for migration */
+ bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *, isolate_mode_t);
+ /* migrate the contents of a page to the specified target */
+ int (*migratepage) (struct page *, struct page *);
+ /* put migration-failed page back to right list */
+ void (*putback_page) (struct page *);
+ int (*launder_page) (struct page *);
+
+ int (*is_partially_uptodate) (struct page *, unsigned long,
+ unsigned long);
+ void (*is_dirty_writeback) (struct page *, bool *, bool *);
+ int (*error_remove_page) (struct mapping *mapping, struct page *page);
+ int (*swap_activate)(struct file *);
+ int (*swap_deactivate)(struct file *);
+ };
+
+``writepage``
+ called by the VM to write a dirty page to backing store. This
+ may happen for data integrity reasons (i.e. 'sync'), or to free
+ up memory (flush). The difference can be seen in
+ wbc->sync_mode. The PG_Dirty flag has been cleared and
+ PageLocked is true. writepage should start writeout, should set
+ PG_Writeback, and should make sure the page is unlocked, either
+ synchronously or asynchronously when the write operation
+ completes.
+
+ If wbc->sync_mode is WB_SYNC_NONE, ->writepage doesn't have to
+ try too hard if there are problems, and may choose to write out
+ other pages from the mapping if that is easier (e.g. due to
+ internal dependencies). If it chooses not to start writeout, it
+ should return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE so that the VM will not
+ keep calling ->writepage on that page.
+
+ See the file "Locking" for more details.
+
+``readpage``
+ called by the VM to read a page from backing store. The page
+ will be Locked when readpage is called, and should be unlocked
+ and marked uptodate once the read completes. If ->readpage
+ discovers that it needs to unlock the page for some reason, it
+ can do so, and then return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE. In this case,
+ the page will be relocated, relocked and if that all succeeds,
+ ->readpage will be called again.
+
+``writepages``
+ called by the VM to write out pages associated with the
+ address_space object. If wbc->sync_mode is WBC_SYNC_ALL, then
+ the writeback_control will specify a range of pages that must be
+ written out. If it is WBC_SYNC_NONE, then a nr_to_write is
+ given and that many pages should be written if possible. If no
+ ->writepages is given, then mpage_writepages is used instead.
+ This will choose pages from the address space that are tagged as
+ DIRTY and will pass them to ->writepage.
+
+``set_page_dirty``
+ called by the VM to set a page dirty. This is particularly
+ needed if an address space attaches private data to a page, and
+ that data needs to be updated when a page is dirtied. This is
+ called, for example, when a memory mapped page gets modified.
+ If defined, it should set the PageDirty flag, and the
+ PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY tag in the radix tree.
+
+``readpages``
+ called by the VM to read pages associated with the address_space
+ object. This is essentially just a vector version of readpage.
+ Instead of just one page, several pages are requested.
+ readpages is only used for read-ahead, so read errors are
+ ignored. If anything goes wrong, feel free to give up.
+
+``write_begin``
+ Called by the generic buffered write code to ask the filesystem
+ to prepare to write len bytes at the given offset in the file.
+ The address_space should check that the write will be able to
+ complete, by allocating space if necessary and doing any other
+ internal housekeeping. If the write will update parts of any
+ basic-blocks on storage, then those blocks should be pre-read
+ (if they haven't been read already) so that the updated blocks
+ can be written out properly.
+
+ The filesystem must return the locked pagecache page for the
+ specified offset, in ``*pagep``, for the caller to write into.
+
+ It must be able to cope with short writes (where the length
+ passed to write_begin is greater than the number of bytes copied
+ into the page).
+
+ flags is a field for AOP_FLAG_xxx flags, described in
+ include/linux/fs.h.
+
+ A void * may be returned in fsdata, which then gets passed into
+ write_end.
+
+ Returns 0 on success; < 0 on failure (which is the error code),
+ in which case write_end is not called.
+
+``write_end``
+ After a successful write_begin, and data copy, write_end must be
+ called. len is the original len passed to write_begin, and
+ copied is the amount that was able to be copied.
+
+ The filesystem must take care of unlocking the page and
+ releasing it refcount, and updating i_size.
+
+ Returns < 0 on failure, otherwise the number of bytes (<=
+ 'copied') that were able to be copied into pagecache.
+
+``bmap``
+ called by the VFS to map a logical block offset within object to
+ physical block number. This method is used by the FIBMAP ioctl
+ and for working with swap-files. To be able to swap to a file,
+ the file must have a stable mapping to a block device. The swap
+ system does not go through the filesystem but instead uses bmap
+ to find out where the blocks in the file are and uses those
+ addresses directly.
+
+``invalidatepage``
+ If a page has PagePrivate set, then invalidatepage will be
+ called when part or all of the page is to be removed from the
+ address space. This generally corresponds to either a
+ truncation, punch hole or a complete invalidation of the address
+ space (in the latter case 'offset' will always be 0 and 'length'
+ will be PAGE_SIZE). Any private data associated with the page
+ should be updated to reflect this truncation. If offset is 0
+ and length is PAGE_SIZE, then the private data should be
+ released, because the page must be able to be completely
+ discarded. This may be done by calling the ->releasepage
+ function, but in this case the release MUST succeed.
+
+``releasepage``
+ releasepage is called on PagePrivate pages to indicate that the
+ page should be freed if possible. ->releasepage should remove
+ any private data from the page and clear the PagePrivate flag.
+ If releasepage() fails for some reason, it must indicate failure
+ with a 0 return value. releasepage() is used in two distinct
+ though related cases. The first is when the VM finds a clean
+ page with no active users and wants to make it a free page. If
+ ->releasepage succeeds, the page will be removed from the
+ address_space and become free.
+
+ The second case is when a request has been made to invalidate
+ some or all pages in an address_space. This can happen through
+ the fadvise(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) system call or by the
+ filesystem explicitly requesting it as nfs and 9fs do (when they
+ believe the cache may be out of date with storage) by calling
+ invalidate_inode_pages2(). If the filesystem makes such a call,
+ and needs to be certain that all pages are invalidated, then its
+ releasepage will need to ensure this. Possibly it can clear the
+ PageUptodate bit if it cannot free private data yet.
+
+``freepage``
+ freepage is called once the page is no longer visible in the
+ page cache in order to allow the cleanup of any private data.
+ Since it may be called by the memory reclaimer, it should not
+ assume that the original address_space mapping still exists, and
+ it should not block.
+
+``direct_IO``
+ called by the generic read/write routines to perform direct_IO -
+ that is IO requests which bypass the page cache and transfer
+ data directly between the storage and the application's address
+ space.
+
+``isolate_page``
+ Called by the VM when isolating a movable non-lru page. If page
+ is successfully isolated, VM marks the page as PG_isolated via
+ __SetPageIsolated.
+
+``migrate_page``
+ This is used to compact the physical memory usage. If the VM
+ wants to relocate a page (maybe off a memory card that is
+ signalling imminent failure) it will pass a new page and an old
+ page to this function. migrate_page should transfer any private
+ data across and update any references that it has to the page.
+
+``putback_page``
+ Called by the VM when isolated page's migration fails.
+
+``launder_page``
+ Called before freeing a page - it writes back the dirty page.
+ To prevent redirtying the page, it is kept locked during the
+ whole operation.
+
+``is_partially_uptodate``
+ Called by the VM when reading a file through the pagecache when
+ the underlying blocksize != pagesize. If the required block is
+ up to date then the read can complete without needing the IO to
+ bring the whole page up to date.
+
+``is_dirty_writeback``
+ Called by the VM when attempting to reclaim a page. The VM uses
+ dirty and writeback information to determine if it needs to
+ stall to allow flushers a chance to complete some IO.
+ Ordinarily it can use PageDirty and PageWriteback but some
+ filesystems have more complex state (unstable pages in NFS
+ prevent reclaim) or do not set those flags due to locking
+ problems. This callback allows a filesystem to indicate to the
+ VM if a page should be treated as dirty or writeback for the
+ purposes of stalling.
+
+``error_remove_page``
+ normally set to generic_error_remove_page if truncation is ok
+ for this address space. Used for memory failure handling.
+ Setting this implies you deal with pages going away under you,
+ unless you have them locked or reference counts increased.
+
+``swap_activate``
+ Called when swapon is used on a file to allocate space if
+ necessary and pin the block lookup information in memory. A
+ return value of zero indicates success, in which case this file
+ can be used to back swapspace.
+
+``swap_deactivate``
+ Called during swapoff on files where swap_activate was
+ successful.
+
+
+The File Object
+===============
+
+A file object represents a file opened by a process. This is also known
+as an "open file description" in POSIX parlance.
+
+
+struct file_operations
+----------------------
+
+This describes how the VFS can manipulate an open file. As of kernel
+4.18, the following members are defined:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct file_operations {
+ struct module *owner;
+ loff_t (*llseek) (struct file *, loff_t, int);
+ ssize_t (*read) (struct file *, char __user *, size_t, loff_t *);
+ ssize_t (*write) (struct file *, const char __user *, size_t, loff_t *);
+ ssize_t (*read_iter) (struct kiocb *, struct iov_iter *);

+ int (*iopoll)(struct kiocb *kiocb, bool spin);
+ int (*iterate) (struct file *, struct dir_context *);

+ __poll_t (*poll) (struct file *, struct poll_table_struct *);
+ long (*unlocked_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long);
+ long (*compat_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long);
+ int (*mmap) (struct file *, struct vm_area_struct *);
+ int (*open) (struct inode *, struct file *);
+ int (*flush) (struct file *, fl_owner_t id);
+ int (*release) (struct inode *, struct file *);
+ int (*fsync) (struct file *, loff_t, loff_t, int datasync);
+ int (*fasync) (int, struct file *, int);
+ int (*lock) (struct file *, int, struct file_lock *);
+ ssize_t (*sendpage) (struct file *, struct page *, int, size_t, loff_t *, int);
+ unsigned long (*get_unmapped_area)(struct file *, unsigned long, unsigned long, unsigned long, unsigned long);
+ int (*check_flags)(int);
+ int (*flock) (struct file *, int, struct file_lock *);
+ ssize_t (*splice_write)(struct pipe_inode_info *, struct file *, loff_t *, size_t, unsigned int);
+ ssize_t (*splice_read)(struct file *, loff_t *, struct pipe_inode_info *, size_t, unsigned int);
+ int (*setlease)(struct file *, long, struct file_lock **, void **);
+ long (*fallocate)(struct file *file, int mode, loff_t offset,
+ loff_t len);
+ void (*show_fdinfo)(struct seq_file *m, struct file *f);
+ #ifndef CONFIG_MMU
+ unsigned (*mmap_capabilities)(struct file *);
+ #endif
+ ssize_t (*copy_file_range)(struct file *, loff_t, struct file *, loff_t, size_t, unsigned int);
+ loff_t (*remap_file_range)(struct file *file_in, loff_t pos_in,
+ struct file *file_out, loff_t pos_out,
+ loff_t len, unsigned int remap_flags);
+ int (*fadvise)(struct file *, loff_t, loff_t, int);
+ };
+
+Again, all methods are called without any locks being held, unless
+otherwise noted.
+
+``llseek``
+ called when the VFS needs to move the file position index
+
+``read``
+ called by read(2) and related system calls
+
+``read_iter``
+ possibly asynchronous read with iov_iter as destination
+
+``write``
+ called by write(2) and related system calls
+
+``write_iter``
+ possibly asynchronous write with iov_iter as source
+
+``iopoll``
+ called when aio wants to poll for completions on HIPRI iocbs
+
+``iterate``
+ called when the VFS needs to read the directory contents
+
+``iterate_shared``
+ called when the VFS needs to read the directory contents when
+ filesystem supports concurrent dir iterators
+
+``poll``
+ called by the VFS when a process wants to check if there is
+ activity on this file and (optionally) go to sleep until there
+ is activity. Called by the select(2) and poll(2) system calls
+
+``unlocked_ioctl``
+ called by the ioctl(2) system call.
+
+``compat_ioctl``
+ called by the ioctl(2) system call when 32 bit system calls are
+ used on 64 bit kernels.
+
+``mmap``
+ called by the mmap(2) system call
+
+``open``
+ called by the VFS when an inode should be opened. When the VFS
+ opens a file, it creates a new "struct file". It then calls the
+ open method for the newly allocated file structure. You might
+ think that the open method really belongs in "struct
+ inode_operations", and you may be right. I think it's done the
+ way it is because it makes filesystems simpler to implement.
+ The open() method is a good place to initialize the
+ "private_data" member in the file structure if you want to point
+ to a device structure
+
+``flush``
+ called by the close(2) system call to flush a file
+
+``release``
+ called when the last reference to an open file is closed
+
+``fsync``
+ called by the fsync(2) system call. Also see the section above
+ entitled "Handling errors during writeback".
+
+``fasync``
+ called by the fcntl(2) system call when asynchronous
+ (non-blocking) mode is enabled for a file
+
+``lock``
+ called by the fcntl(2) system call for F_GETLK, F_SETLK, and
+ F_SETLKW commands
+
+``get_unmapped_area``
+ called by the mmap(2) system call
+
+``check_flags``
+ called by the fcntl(2) system call for F_SETFL command
+
+``flock``
+ called by the flock(2) system call
+
+``splice_write``
+ called by the VFS to splice data from a pipe to a file. This
+ method is used by the splice(2) system call
+
+``splice_read``
+ called by the VFS to splice data from file to a pipe. This
+ method is used by the splice(2) system call
+
+``setlease``
+ called by the VFS to set or release a file lock lease. setlease
+ implementations should call generic_setlease to record or remove
+ the lease in the inode after setting it.
+
+``fallocate``
+ called by the VFS to preallocate blocks or punch a hole.
+
+``copy_file_range``
+ called by the copy_file_range(2) system call.
+
+``remap_file_range``
+ called by the ioctl(2) system call for FICLONERANGE and FICLONE
+ and FIDEDUPERANGE commands to remap file ranges. An
+ implementation should remap len bytes at pos_in of the source
+ file into the dest file at pos_out. Implementations must handle
+ callers passing in len == 0; this means "remap to the end of the
+ source file". The return value should the number of bytes
+ remapped, or the usual negative error code if errors occurred
+ before any bytes were remapped. The remap_flags parameter
+ accepts REMAP_FILE_* flags. If REMAP_FILE_DEDUP is set then the
+ implementation must only remap if the requested file ranges have
+ identical contents. If REMAP_CAN_SHORTEN is set, the caller is
+ ok with the implementation shortening the request length to
+ satisfy alignment or EOF requirements (or any other reason).
+
+``fadvise``
+ possibly called by the fadvise64() system call.
+
+Note that the file operations are implemented by the specific
+filesystem in which the inode resides. When opening a device node
+(character or block special) most filesystems will call special
+support routines in the VFS which will locate the required device
+driver information. These support routines replace the filesystem file
+operations with those for the device driver, and then proceed to call
+the new open() method for the file. This is how opening a device file
+in the filesystem eventually ends up calling the device driver open()
+method.
+
+
+Directory Entry Cache (dcache)
+==============================
+
+
+struct dentry_operations
+------------------------
+
+This describes how a filesystem can overload the standard dentry
+operations. Dentries and the dcache are the domain of the VFS and the
+individual filesystem implementations. Device drivers have no business
+here. These methods may be set to NULL, as they are either optional or
+the VFS uses a default. As of kernel 2.6.22, the following members are
+defined:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct dentry_operations {
+ int (*d_revalidate)(struct dentry *, unsigned int);
+ int (*d_weak_revalidate)(struct dentry *, unsigned int);
+ int (*d_hash)(const struct dentry *, struct qstr *);
+ int (*d_compare)(const struct dentry *,
+ unsigned int, const char *, const struct qstr *);
+ int (*d_delete)(const struct dentry *);
+ int (*d_init)(struct dentry *);
+ void (*d_release)(struct dentry *);
+ void (*d_iput)(struct dentry *, struct inode *);
+ char *(*d_dname)(struct dentry *, char *, int);
+ struct vfsmount *(*d_automount)(struct path *);
+ int (*d_manage)(const struct path *, bool);
+ struct dentry *(*d_real)(struct dentry *, const struct inode *);
+ };
+
+``d_revalidate``
+ called when the VFS needs to revalidate a dentry. This is
+ called whenever a name look-up finds a dentry in the dcache.
+ Most local filesystems leave this as NULL, because all their
+ dentries in the dcache are valid. Network filesystems are
+ different since things can change on the server without the
+ client necessarily being aware of it.
+
+ This function should return a positive value if the dentry is
+ still valid, and zero or a negative error code if it isn't.
+
+ d_revalidate may be called in rcu-walk mode (flags &
+ LOOKUP_RCU). If in rcu-walk mode, the filesystem must
+ revalidate the dentry without blocking or storing to the dentry,
+ d_parent and d_inode should not be used without care (because
+ they can change and, in d_inode case, even become NULL under
+ us).
+
+ If a situation is encountered that rcu-walk cannot handle,
+ return
+ -ECHILD and it will be called again in ref-walk mode.
+
+``_weak_revalidate``
+ called when the VFS needs to revalidate a "jumped" dentry. This
+ is called when a path-walk ends at dentry that was not acquired
+ by doing a lookup in the parent directory. This includes "/",
+ "." and "..", as well as procfs-style symlinks and mountpoint
+ traversal.
+
+ In this case, we are less concerned with whether the dentry is
+ still fully correct, but rather that the inode is still valid.
+ As with d_revalidate, most local filesystems will set this to
+ NULL since their dcache entries are always valid.
+
+ This function has the same return code semantics as
+ d_revalidate.
+
+ d_weak_revalidate is only called after leaving rcu-walk mode.
+
+``d_hash``
+ called when the VFS adds a dentry to the hash table. The first
+ dentry passed to d_hash is the parent directory that the name is
+ to be hashed into.
+
+ Same locking and synchronisation rules as d_compare regarding
+ what is safe to dereference etc.
+
+``d_compare``
+ called to compare a dentry name with a given name. The first
+ dentry is the parent of the dentry to be compared, the second is
+ the child dentry. len and name string are properties of the
+ dentry to be compared. qstr is the name to compare it with.
+
+ Must be constant and idempotent, and should not take locks if
+ possible, and should not or store into the dentry. Should not
+ dereference pointers outside the dentry without lots of care
+ (eg. d_parent, d_inode, d_name should not be used).
+
+ However, our vfsmount is pinned, and RCU held, so the dentries
+ and inodes won't disappear, neither will our sb or filesystem
+ module. ->d_sb may be used.
+
+ It is a tricky calling convention because it needs to be called
+ under "rcu-walk", ie. without any locks or references on things.
+
+``d_delete``
+ called when the last reference to a dentry is dropped and the
+ dcache is deciding whether or not to cache it. Return 1 to
+ delete immediately, or 0 to cache the dentry. Default is NULL
+ which means to always cache a reachable dentry. d_delete must
+ be constant and idempotent.
+
+``d_init``
+ called when a dentry is allocated
+
+``d_release``
+ called when a dentry is really deallocated
+
+``d_iput``
+ called when a dentry loses its inode (just prior to its being
+ deallocated). The default when this is NULL is that the VFS
+ calls iput(). If you define this method, you must call iput()
+ yourself
+
+``d_dname``
+ called when the pathname of a dentry should be generated.
+ Useful for some pseudo filesystems (sockfs, pipefs, ...) to
+ delay pathname generation. (Instead of doing it when dentry is
+ created, it's done only when the path is needed.). Real
+ filesystems probably dont want to use it, because their dentries
+ are present in global dcache hash, so their hash should be an
+ invariant. As no lock is held, d_dname() should not try to
+ modify the dentry itself, unless appropriate SMP safety is used.
+ CAUTION : d_path() logic is quite tricky. The correct way to
+ return for example "Hello" is to put it at the end of the
+ buffer, and returns a pointer to the first char.
+ dynamic_dname() helper function is provided to take care of
+ this.
+
+ Example :
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static char *pipefs_dname(struct dentry *dent, char *buffer, int buflen)
+ {
+ return dynamic_dname(dentry, buffer, buflen, "pipe:[%lu]",
+ dentry->d_inode->i_ino);
+ }
+
+``d_automount``
+ called when an automount dentry is to be traversed (optional).
+ This should create a new VFS mount record and return the record
+ to the caller. The caller is supplied with a path parameter
+ giving the automount directory to describe the automount target
+ and the parent VFS mount record to provide inheritable mount
+ parameters. NULL should be returned if someone else managed to
+ make the automount first. If the vfsmount creation failed, then
+ an error code should be returned. If -EISDIR is returned, then
+ the directory will be treated as an ordinary directory and
+ returned to pathwalk to continue walking.
+
+ If a vfsmount is returned, the caller will attempt to mount it
+ on the mountpoint and will remove the vfsmount from its
+ expiration list in the case of failure. The vfsmount should be
+ returned with 2 refs on it to prevent automatic expiration - the
+ caller will clean up the additional ref.
+
+ This function is only used if DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT is set on
+ the dentry. This is set by __d_instantiate() if S_AUTOMOUNT is
+ set on the inode being added.
+
+``d_manage``
+ called to allow the filesystem to manage the transition from a
+ dentry (optional). This allows autofs, for example, to hold up
+ clients waiting to explore behind a 'mountpoint' while letting
+ the daemon go past and construct the subtree there. 0 should be
+ returned to let the calling process continue. -EISDIR can be
+ returned to tell pathwalk to use this directory as an ordinary
+ directory and to ignore anything mounted on it and not to check
+ the automount flag. Any other error code will abort pathwalk
+ completely.
+
+ If the 'rcu_walk' parameter is true, then the caller is doing a
+ pathwalk in RCU-walk mode. Sleeping is not permitted in this
+ mode, and the caller can be asked to leave it and call again by
+ returning -ECHILD. -EISDIR may also be returned to tell
+ pathwalk to ignore d_automount or any mounts.
+
+ This function is only used if DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT is set on
+ the dentry being transited from.
+
+``d_real``
+ overlay/union type filesystems implement this method to return
+ one of the underlying dentries hidden by the overlay. It is
+ used in two different modes:
+
+ Called from file_dentry() it returns the real dentry matching
+ the inode argument. The real dentry may be from a lower layer
+ already copied up, but still referenced from the file. This
+ mode is selected with a non-NULL inode argument.
+
+ With NULL inode the topmost real underlying dentry is returned.
+
+Each dentry has a pointer to its parent dentry, as well as a hash list
+of child dentries. Child dentries are basically like files in a
+directory.
+
+
+Directory Entry Cache API
+--------------------------
+
+There are a number of functions defined which permit a filesystem to
+manipulate dentries:
+
+``dget``
+ open a new handle for an existing dentry (this just increments
+ the usage count)
+
+``dput``
+ close a handle for a dentry (decrements the usage count). If
+ the usage count drops to 0, and the dentry is still in its
+ parent's hash, the "d_delete" method is called to check whether
+ it should be cached. If it should not be cached, or if the
+ dentry is not hashed, it is deleted. Otherwise cached dentries
+ are put into an LRU list to be reclaimed on memory shortage.
+
+``d_drop``
+ this unhashes a dentry from its parents hash list. A subsequent
+ call to dput() will deallocate the dentry if its usage count
+ drops to 0
+
+``d_delete``
+ delete a dentry. If there are no other open references to the
+ dentry then the dentry is turned into a negative dentry (the
+ d_iput() method is called). If there are other references, then
+ d_drop() is called instead
+
+``d_add``
+ add a dentry to its parents hash list and then calls
+ d_instantiate()
+
+``d_instantiate``
+ add a dentry to the alias hash list for the inode and updates
+ the "d_inode" member. The "i_count" member in the inode
+ structure should be set/incremented. If the inode pointer is
+ NULL, the dentry is called a "negative dentry". This function
+ is commonly called when an inode is created for an existing
+ negative dentry
+
+``d_lookup``
+ look up a dentry given its parent and path name component It
+ looks up the child of that given name from the dcache hash
+ table. If it is found, the reference count is incremented and
+ the dentry is returned. The caller must use dput() to free the
+ dentry when it finishes using it.
+
+
+Mount Options
+=============
+
+
+Parsing options
+---------------
+
+On mount and remount the filesystem is passed a string containing a
+comma separated list of mount options. The options can have either of
+these forms:
+
+ option
+ option=value
+
+The <linux/parser.h> header defines an API that helps parse these
+options. There are plenty of examples on how to use it in existing
+filesystems.
+
+
+Showing options
+---------------
+
+If a filesystem accepts mount options, it must define show_options() to
+show all the currently active options. The rules are:
+
+ - options MUST be shown which are not default or their values differ
+ from the default
+
+ - options MAY be shown which are enabled by default or have their
+ default value
+
+Options used only internally between a mount helper and the kernel (such
+as file descriptors), or which only have an effect during the mounting
+(such as ones controlling the creation of a journal) are exempt from the
+above rules.
+
+The underlying reason for the above rules is to make sure, that a mount
+can be accurately replicated (e.g. umounting and mounting again) based
+on the information found in /proc/mounts.

-Introduction
-============
-
-The Virtual File System (also known as the Virtual Filesystem Switch)
-is the software layer in the kernel that provides the filesystem
-interface to userspace programs. It also provides an abstraction
-within the kernel which allows different filesystem implementations to
-coexist.
-
-VFS system calls open(2), stat(2), read(2), write(2), chmod(2) and so
-on are called from a process context. Filesystem locking is described
-in the document Documentation/filesystems/Locking.
-
-
-Directory Entry Cache (dcache)
-------------------------------
-
-The VFS implements the open(2), stat(2), chmod(2), and similar system
-calls. The pathname argument that is passed to them is used by the VFS
-to search through the directory entry cache (also known as the dentry
-cache or dcache). This provides a very fast look-up mechanism to
-translate a pathname (filename) into a specific dentry. Dentries live
-in RAM and are never saved to disc: they exist only for performance.
-
-The dentry cache is meant to be a view into your entire filespace. As
-most computers cannot fit all dentries in the RAM at the same time,
-some bits of the cache are missing. In order to resolve your pathname
-into a dentry, the VFS may have to resort to creating dentries along
-the way, and then loading the inode. This is done by looking up the
-inode.
-
-
-The Inode Object
-----------------
-
-An individual dentry usually has a pointer to an inode. Inodes are
-filesystem objects such as regular files, directories, FIFOs and other
-beasts. They live either on the disc (for block device filesystems)
-or in the memory (for pseudo filesystems). Inodes that live on the
-disc are copied into the memory when required and changes to the inode
-are written back to disc. A single inode can be pointed to by multiple
-dentries (hard links, for example, do this).
-
-To look up an inode requires that the VFS calls the lookup() method of
-the parent directory inode. This method is installed by the specific
-filesystem implementation that the inode lives in. Once the VFS has
-the required dentry (and hence the inode), we can do all those boring
-things like open(2) the file, or stat(2) it to peek at the inode
-data. The stat(2) operation is fairly simple: once the VFS has the
-dentry, it peeks at the inode data and passes some of it back to
-userspace.
-
-
-The File Object
----------------
-
-Opening a file requires another operation: allocation of a file
-structure (this is the kernel-side implementation of file
-descriptors). The freshly allocated file structure is initialized with
-a pointer to the dentry and a set of file operation member functions.
-These are taken from the inode data. The open() file method is then
-called so the specific filesystem implementation can do its work. You
-can see that this is another switch performed by the VFS. The file
-structure is placed into the file descriptor table for the process.
-
-Reading, writing and closing files (and other assorted VFS operations)
-is done by using the userspace file descriptor to grab the appropriate
-file structure, and then calling the required file structure method to
-do whatever is required. For as long as the file is open, it keeps the
-dentry in use, which in turn means that the VFS inode is still in use.
-
-
-Registering and Mounting a Filesystem
-=====================================
-
-To register and unregister a filesystem, use the following API
-functions:
-
- #include <linux/fs.h>
-
- extern int register_filesystem(struct file_system_type *);
- extern int unregister_filesystem(struct file_system_type *);
-
-The passed struct file_system_type describes your filesystem. When a
-request is made to mount a filesystem onto a directory in your namespace,
-the VFS will call the appropriate mount() method for the specific
-filesystem. New vfsmount referring to the tree returned by ->mount()
-will be attached to the mountpoint, so that when pathname resolution
-reaches the mountpoint it will jump into the root of that vfsmount.
-
-You can see all filesystems that are registered to the kernel in the
-file /proc/filesystems.
-
-
-struct file_system_type
------------------------
-
-This describes the filesystem. As of kernel 2.6.39, the following
-members are defined:
-
-struct file_system_type {
- const char *name;
- int fs_flags;
- struct dentry *(*mount) (struct file_system_type *, int,
- const char *, void *);
- void (*kill_sb) (struct super_block *);
- struct module *owner;
- struct file_system_type * next;
- struct list_head fs_supers;
- struct lock_class_key s_lock_key;
- struct lock_class_key s_umount_key;
-};
-
- name: the name of the filesystem type, such as "ext2", "iso9660",
- "msdos" and so on
-
- fs_flags: various flags (i.e. FS_REQUIRES_DEV, FS_NO_DCACHE, etc.)
-
- mount: the method to call when a new instance of this
- filesystem should be mounted
-
- kill_sb: the method to call when an instance of this filesystem
- should be shut down
-
- owner: for internal VFS use: you should initialize this to THIS_MODULE in
- most cases.
-
- next: for internal VFS use: you should initialize this to NULL
-
- s_lock_key, s_umount_key: lockdep-specific
-
-The mount() method has the following arguments:
-
- struct file_system_type *fs_type: describes the filesystem, partly initialized
- by the specific filesystem code
-
- int flags: mount flags
-
- const char *dev_name: the device name we are mounting.
-
- void *data: arbitrary mount options, usually comes as an ASCII
- string (see "Mount Options" section)
-
-The mount() method must return the root dentry of the tree requested by
-caller. An active reference to its superblock must be grabbed and the
-superblock must be locked. On failure it should return ERR_PTR(error).
-
-The arguments match those of mount(2) and their interpretation
-depends on filesystem type. E.g. for block filesystems, dev_name is
-interpreted as block device name, that device is opened and if it
-contains a suitable filesystem image the method creates and initializes
-struct super_block accordingly, returning its root dentry to caller.
-
-->mount() may choose to return a subtree of existing filesystem - it
-doesn't have to create a new one. The main result from the caller's
-point of view is a reference to dentry at the root of (sub)tree to
-be attached; creation of new superblock is a common side effect.
-
-The most interesting member of the superblock structure that the
-mount() method fills in is the "s_op" field. This is a pointer to
-a "struct super_operations" which describes the next level of the
-filesystem implementation.
-
-Usually, a filesystem uses one of the generic mount() implementations
-and provides a fill_super() callback instead. The generic variants are:
-
- mount_bdev: mount a filesystem residing on a block device
-
- mount_nodev: mount a filesystem that is not backed by a device
-
- mount_single: mount a filesystem which shares the instance between
- all mounts
-
-A fill_super() callback implementation has the following arguments:
-
- struct super_block *sb: the superblock structure. The callback
- must initialize this properly.
-
- void *data: arbitrary mount options, usually comes as an ASCII
- string (see "Mount Options" section)
-
- int silent: whether or not to be silent on error
-
-
-The Superblock Object
-=====================
-
-A superblock object represents a mounted filesystem.
-
-
-struct super_operations
------------------------
-
-This describes how the VFS can manipulate the superblock of your
-filesystem. As of kernel 2.6.22, the following members are defined:
-
-struct super_operations {
- struct inode *(*alloc_inode)(struct super_block *sb);
- void (*destroy_inode)(struct inode *);
-
- void (*dirty_inode) (struct inode *, int flags);
- int (*write_inode) (struct inode *, int);
- void (*drop_inode) (struct inode *);
- void (*delete_inode) (struct inode *);
- void (*put_super) (struct super_block *);
- int (*sync_fs)(struct super_block *sb, int wait);
- int (*freeze_fs) (struct super_block *);
- int (*unfreeze_fs) (struct super_block *);
- int (*statfs) (struct dentry *, struct kstatfs *);
- int (*remount_fs) (struct super_block *, int *, char *);
- void (*clear_inode) (struct inode *);
- void (*umount_begin) (struct super_block *);
-
- int (*show_options)(struct seq_file *, struct dentry *);
-
- ssize_t (*quota_read)(struct super_block *, int, char *, size_t, loff_t);
- ssize_t (*quota_write)(struct super_block *, int, const char *, size_t, loff_t);
- int (*nr_cached_objects)(struct super_block *);
- void (*free_cached_objects)(struct super_block *, int);
-};
-
-All methods are called without any locks being held, unless otherwise
-noted. This means that most methods can block safely. All methods are
-only called from a process context (i.e. not from an interrupt handler
-or bottom half).
-
- alloc_inode: this method is called by alloc_inode() to allocate memory
- for struct inode and initialize it. If this function is not
- defined, a simple 'struct inode' is allocated. Normally
- alloc_inode will be used to allocate a larger structure which
- contains a 'struct inode' embedded within it.
-
- destroy_inode: this method is called by destroy_inode() to release
- resources allocated for struct inode. It is only required if
- ->alloc_inode was defined and simply undoes anything done by
- ->alloc_inode.
-
- dirty_inode: this method is called by the VFS to mark an inode dirty.
-
- write_inode: this method is called when the VFS needs to write an
- inode to disc. The second parameter indicates whether the write
- should be synchronous or not, not all filesystems check this flag.
-
- drop_inode: called when the last access to the inode is dropped,
- with the inode->i_lock spinlock held.
-
- This method should be either NULL (normal UNIX filesystem
- semantics) or "generic_delete_inode" (for filesystems that do not
- want to cache inodes - causing "delete_inode" to always be
- called regardless of the value of i_nlink)
-
- The "generic_delete_inode()" behavior is equivalent to the
- old practice of using "force_delete" in the put_inode() case,
- but does not have the races that the "force_delete()" approach
- had.
-
- delete_inode: called when the VFS wants to delete an inode
-
- put_super: called when the VFS wishes to free the superblock
- (i.e. unmount). This is called with the superblock lock held
-
- sync_fs: called when VFS is writing out all dirty data associated with
- a superblock. The second parameter indicates whether the method
- should wait until the write out has been completed. Optional.
-
- freeze_fs: called when VFS is locking a filesystem and
- forcing it into a consistent state. This method is currently
- used by the Logical Volume Manager (LVM).
-
- unfreeze_fs: called when VFS is unlocking a filesystem and making it writable
- again.
-
- statfs: called when the VFS needs to get filesystem statistics.
-
- remount_fs: called when the filesystem is remounted. This is called
- with the kernel lock held
-
- clear_inode: called then the VFS clears the inode. Optional
-
- umount_begin: called when the VFS is unmounting a filesystem.
-
- show_options: called by the VFS to show mount options for
- /proc/<pid>/mounts. (see "Mount Options" section)
-
- quota_read: called by the VFS to read from filesystem quota file.
-
- quota_write: called by the VFS to write to filesystem quota file.
-
- nr_cached_objects: called by the sb cache shrinking function for the
- filesystem to return the number of freeable cached objects it contains.
- Optional.
-
- free_cache_objects: called by the sb cache shrinking function for the
- filesystem to scan the number of objects indicated to try to free them.
- Optional, but any filesystem implementing this method needs to also
- implement ->nr_cached_objects for it to be called correctly.
-
- We can't do anything with any errors that the filesystem might
- encountered, hence the void return type. This will never be called if
- the VM is trying to reclaim under GFP_NOFS conditions, hence this
- method does not need to handle that situation itself.
-
- Implementations must include conditional reschedule calls inside any
- scanning loop that is done. This allows the VFS to determine
- appropriate scan batch sizes without having to worry about whether
- implementations will cause holdoff problems due to large scan batch
- sizes.
-
-Whoever sets up the inode is responsible for filling in the "i_op" field. This
-is a pointer to a "struct inode_operations" which describes the methods that
-can be performed on individual inodes.
-
-struct xattr_handlers
----------------------
-
-On filesystems that support extended attributes (xattrs), the s_xattr
-superblock field points to a NULL-terminated array of xattr handlers. Extended
-attributes are name:value pairs.
-
- name: Indicates that the handler matches attributes with the specified name
- (such as "system.posix_acl_access"); the prefix field must be NULL.
-
- prefix: Indicates that the handler matches all attributes with the specified
- name prefix (such as "user."); the name field must be NULL.
-
- list: Determine if attributes matching this xattr handler should be listed
- for a particular dentry. Used by some listxattr implementations like
- generic_listxattr.
-
- get: Called by the VFS to get the value of a particular extended attribute.
- This method is called by the getxattr(2) system call.
-
- set: Called by the VFS to set the value of a particular extended attribute.
- When the new value is NULL, called to remove a particular extended
- attribute. This method is called by the the setxattr(2) and
- removexattr(2) system calls.
-
-When none of the xattr handlers of a filesystem match the specified attribute
-name or when a filesystem doesn't support extended attributes, the various
-*xattr(2) system calls return -EOPNOTSUPP.
-
-
-The Inode Object
-================
-
-An inode object represents an object within the filesystem.
-
-
-struct inode_operations
------------------------
-
-This describes how the VFS can manipulate an inode in your
-filesystem. As of kernel 2.6.22, the following members are defined:
-
-struct inode_operations {
- int (*create) (struct inode *,struct dentry *, umode_t, bool);
- struct dentry * (*lookup) (struct inode *,struct dentry *, unsigned int);
- int (*link) (struct dentry *,struct inode *,struct dentry *);
- int (*unlink) (struct inode *,struct dentry *);
- int (*symlink) (struct inode *,struct dentry *,const char *);
- int (*mkdir) (struct inode *,struct dentry *,umode_t);
- int (*rmdir) (struct inode *,struct dentry *);
- int (*mknod) (struct inode *,struct dentry *,umode_t,dev_t);
- int (*rename) (struct inode *, struct dentry *,
- struct inode *, struct dentry *, unsigned int);
- int (*readlink) (struct dentry *, char __user *,int);
- const char *(*get_link) (struct dentry *, struct inode *,
- struct delayed_call *);
- int (*permission) (struct inode *, int);
- int (*get_acl)(struct inode *, int);
- int (*setattr) (struct dentry *, struct iattr *);
- int (*getattr) (const struct path *, struct kstat *, u32, unsigned int);
- ssize_t (*listxattr) (struct dentry *, char *, size_t);
- void (*update_time)(struct inode *, struct timespec *, int);
- int (*atomic_open)(struct inode *, struct dentry *, struct file *,
- unsigned open_flag, umode_t create_mode);
- int (*tmpfile) (struct inode *, struct dentry *, umode_t);
-};
-
-Again, all methods are called without any locks being held, unless
-otherwise noted.
-
- create: called by the open(2) and creat(2) system calls. Only
- required if you want to support regular files. The dentry you
- get should not have an inode (i.e. it should be a negative
- dentry). Here you will probably call d_instantiate() with the
- dentry and the newly created inode
-
- lookup: called when the VFS needs to look up an inode in a parent
- directory. The name to look for is found in the dentry. This
- method must call d_add() to insert the found inode into the
- dentry. The "i_count" field in the inode structure should be
- incremented. If the named inode does not exist a NULL inode
- should be inserted into the dentry (this is called a negative
- dentry). Returning an error code from this routine must only
- be done on a real error, otherwise creating inodes with system
- calls like create(2), mknod(2), mkdir(2) and so on will fail.
- If you wish to overload the dentry methods then you should
- initialise the "d_dop" field in the dentry; this is a pointer
- to a struct "dentry_operations".
- This method is called with the directory inode semaphore held
-
- link: called by the link(2) system call. Only required if you want
- to support hard links. You will probably need to call
- d_instantiate() just as you would in the create() method
-
- unlink: called by the unlink(2) system call. Only required if you
- want to support deleting inodes
-
- symlink: called by the symlink(2) system call. Only required if you
- want to support symlinks. You will probably need to call
- d_instantiate() just as you would in the create() method
-
- mkdir: called by the mkdir(2) system call. Only required if you want
- to support creating subdirectories. You will probably need to
- call d_instantiate() just as you would in the create() method
-
- rmdir: called by the rmdir(2) system call. Only required if you want
- to support deleting subdirectories
-
- mknod: called by the mknod(2) system call to create a device (char,
- block) inode or a named pipe (FIFO) or socket. Only required
- if you want to support creating these types of inodes. You
- will probably need to call d_instantiate() just as you would
- in the create() method
-
- rename: called by the rename(2) system call to rename the object to
- have the parent and name given by the second inode and dentry.
-
- The filesystem must return -EINVAL for any unsupported or
- unknown flags. Currently the following flags are implemented:
- (1) RENAME_NOREPLACE: this flag indicates that if the target
- of the rename exists the rename should fail with -EEXIST
- instead of replacing the target. The VFS already checks for
- existence, so for local filesystems the RENAME_NOREPLACE
- implementation is equivalent to plain rename.
- (2) RENAME_EXCHANGE: exchange source and target. Both must
- exist; this is checked by the VFS. Unlike plain rename,
- source and target may be of different type.
-
- get_link: called by the VFS to follow a symbolic link to the
- inode it points to. Only required if you want to support
- symbolic links. This method returns the symlink body
- to traverse (and possibly resets the current position with
- nd_jump_link()). If the body won't go away until the inode
- is gone, nothing else is needed; if it needs to be otherwise
- pinned, arrange for its release by having get_link(..., ..., done)
- do set_delayed_call(done, destructor, argument).
- In that case destructor(argument) will be called once VFS is
- done with the body you've returned.
- May be called in RCU mode; that is indicated by NULL dentry
- argument. If request can't be handled without leaving RCU mode,
- have it return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD).
-
- readlink: this is now just an override for use by readlink(2) for the
- cases when ->get_link uses nd_jump_link() or object is not in
- fact a symlink. Normally filesystems should only implement
- ->get_link for symlinks and readlink(2) will automatically use
- that.
-
- permission: called by the VFS to check for access rights on a POSIX-like
- filesystem.
-
- May be called in rcu-walk mode (mask & MAY_NOT_BLOCK). If in rcu-walk
- mode, the filesystem must check the permission without blocking or
- storing to the inode.
-
- If a situation is encountered that rcu-walk cannot handle, return
- -ECHILD and it will be called again in ref-walk mode.
-
- setattr: called by the VFS to set attributes for a file. This method
- is called by chmod(2) and related system calls.
-
- getattr: called by the VFS to get attributes of a file. This method
- is called by stat(2) and related system calls.
-
- listxattr: called by the VFS to list all extended attributes for a
- given file. This method is called by the listxattr(2) system call.
-
- update_time: called by the VFS to update a specific time or the i_version of
- an inode. If this is not defined the VFS will update the inode itself
- and call mark_inode_dirty_sync.
-
- atomic_open: called on the last component of an open. Using this optional
- method the filesystem can look up, possibly create and open the file in
- one atomic operation. If it wants to leave actual opening to the
- caller (e.g. if the file turned out to be a symlink, device, or just
- something filesystem won't do atomic open for), it may signal this by
- returning finish_no_open(file, dentry). This method is only called if
- the last component is negative or needs lookup. Cached positive dentries
- are still handled by f_op->open(). If the file was created,
- FMODE_CREATED flag should be set in file->f_mode. In case of O_EXCL
- the method must only succeed if the file didn't exist and hence FMODE_CREATED
- shall always be set on success.
-
- tmpfile: called in the end of O_TMPFILE open(). Optional, equivalent to
- atomically creating, opening and unlinking a file in given directory.
-
-The Address Space Object
-========================
-
-The address space object is used to group and manage pages in the page
-cache. It can be used to keep track of the pages in a file (or
-anything else) and also track the mapping of sections of the file into
-process address spaces.
-
-There are a number of distinct yet related services that an
-address-space can provide. These include communicating memory
-pressure, page lookup by address, and keeping track of pages tagged as
-Dirty or Writeback.
-
-The first can be used independently to the others. The VM can try to
-either write dirty pages in order to clean them, or release clean
-pages in order to reuse them. To do this it can call the ->writepage
-method on dirty pages, and ->releasepage on clean pages with
-PagePrivate set. Clean pages without PagePrivate and with no external
-references will be released without notice being given to the
-address_space.
-
-To achieve this functionality, pages need to be placed on an LRU with
-lru_cache_add and mark_page_active needs to be called whenever the
-page is used.
-
-Pages are normally kept in a radix tree index by ->index. This tree
-maintains information about the PG_Dirty and PG_Writeback status of
-each page, so that pages with either of these flags can be found
-quickly.
-
-The Dirty tag is primarily used by mpage_writepages - the default
-->writepages method. It uses the tag to find dirty pages to call
-->writepage on. If mpage_writepages is not used (i.e. the address
-provides its own ->writepages) , the PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY tag is
-almost unused. write_inode_now and sync_inode do use it (through
-__sync_single_inode) to check if ->writepages has been successful in
-writing out the whole address_space.
-
-The Writeback tag is used by filemap*wait* and sync_page* functions,
-via filemap_fdatawait_range, to wait for all writeback to complete.
-
-An address_space handler may attach extra information to a page,
-typically using the 'private' field in the 'struct page'. If such
-information is attached, the PG_Private flag should be set. This will
-cause various VM routines to make extra calls into the address_space
-handler to deal with that data.
-
-An address space acts as an intermediate between storage and
-application. Data is read into the address space a whole page at a
-time, and provided to the application either by copying of the page,
-or by memory-mapping the page.
-Data is written into the address space by the application, and then
-written-back to storage typically in whole pages, however the
-address_space has finer control of write sizes.
-
-The read process essentially only requires 'readpage'. The write
-process is more complicated and uses write_begin/write_end or
-set_page_dirty to write data into the address_space, and writepage
-and writepages to writeback data to storage.
-
-Adding and removing pages to/from an address_space is protected by the
-inode's i_mutex.
-
-When data is written to a page, the PG_Dirty flag should be set. It
-typically remains set until writepage asks for it to be written. This
-should clear PG_Dirty and set PG_Writeback. It can be actually
-written at any point after PG_Dirty is clear. Once it is known to be
-safe, PG_Writeback is cleared.
-
-Writeback makes use of a writeback_control structure to direct the
-operations. This gives the the writepage and writepages operations some
-information about the nature of and reason for the writeback request,
-and the constraints under which it is being done. It is also used to
-return information back to the caller about the result of a writepage or
-writepages request.
-
-Handling errors during writeback
---------------------------------
-Most applications that do buffered I/O will periodically call a file
-synchronization call (fsync, fdatasync, msync or sync_file_range) to
-ensure that data written has made it to the backing store. When there
-is an error during writeback, they expect that error to be reported when
-a file sync request is made. After an error has been reported on one
-request, subsequent requests on the same file descriptor should return
-0, unless further writeback errors have occurred since the previous file
-syncronization.
-
-Ideally, the kernel would report errors only on file descriptions on
-which writes were done that subsequently failed to be written back. The
-generic pagecache infrastructure does not track the file descriptions
-that have dirtied each individual page however, so determining which
-file descriptors should get back an error is not possible.
-
-Instead, the generic writeback error tracking infrastructure in the
-kernel settles for reporting errors to fsync on all file descriptions
-that were open at the time that the error occurred. In a situation with
-multiple writers, all of them will get back an error on a subsequent fsync,
-even if all of the writes done through that particular file descriptor
-succeeded (or even if there were no writes on that file descriptor at all).
-
-Filesystems that wish to use this infrastructure should call
-mapping_set_error to record the error in the address_space when it
-occurs. Then, after writing back data from the pagecache in their
-file->fsync operation, they should call file_check_and_advance_wb_err to
-ensure that the struct file's error cursor has advanced to the correct
-point in the stream of errors emitted by the backing device(s).
-
-struct address_space_operations
--------------------------------
-
-This describes how the VFS can manipulate mapping of a file to page cache in
-your filesystem. The following members are defined:
-
-struct address_space_operations {
- int (*writepage)(struct page *page, struct writeback_control *wbc);
- int (*readpage)(struct file *, struct page *);
- int (*writepages)(struct address_space *, struct writeback_control *);
- int (*set_page_dirty)(struct page *page);
- int (*readpages)(struct file *filp, struct address_space *mapping,
- struct list_head *pages, unsigned nr_pages);
- int (*write_begin)(struct file *, struct address_space *mapping,
- loff_t pos, unsigned len, unsigned flags,
- struct page **pagep, void **fsdata);
- int (*write_end)(struct file *, struct address_space *mapping,
- loff_t pos, unsigned len, unsigned copied,
- struct page *page, void *fsdata);
- sector_t (*bmap)(struct address_space *, sector_t);
- void (*invalidatepage) (struct page *, unsigned int, unsigned int);
- int (*releasepage) (struct page *, int);
- void (*freepage)(struct page *);
- ssize_t (*direct_IO)(struct kiocb *, struct iov_iter *iter);
- /* isolate a page for migration */
- bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *, isolate_mode_t);
- /* migrate the contents of a page to the specified target */
- int (*migratepage) (struct page *, struct page *);
- /* put migration-failed page back to right list */
- void (*putback_page) (struct page *);
- int (*launder_page) (struct page *);
-
- int (*is_partially_uptodate) (struct page *, unsigned long,
- unsigned long);
- void (*is_dirty_writeback) (struct page *, bool *, bool *);
- int (*error_remove_page) (struct mapping *mapping, struct page *page);
- int (*swap_activate)(struct file *);
- int (*swap_deactivate)(struct file *);
-};
-
- writepage: called by the VM to write a dirty page to backing store.
- This may happen for data integrity reasons (i.e. 'sync'), or
- to free up memory (flush). The difference can be seen in
- wbc->sync_mode.
- The PG_Dirty flag has been cleared and PageLocked is true.
- writepage should start writeout, should set PG_Writeback,
- and should make sure the page is unlocked, either synchronously
- or asynchronously when the write operation completes.
-
- If wbc->sync_mode is WB_SYNC_NONE, ->writepage doesn't have to
- try too hard if there are problems, and may choose to write out
- other pages from the mapping if that is easier (e.g. due to
- internal dependencies). If it chooses not to start writeout, it
- should return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE so that the VM will not keep
- calling ->writepage on that page.
-
- See the file "Locking" for more details.
-
- readpage: called by the VM to read a page from backing store.
- The page will be Locked when readpage is called, and should be
- unlocked and marked uptodate once the read completes.
- If ->readpage discovers that it needs to unlock the page for
- some reason, it can do so, and then return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE.
- In this case, the page will be relocated, relocked and if
- that all succeeds, ->readpage will be called again.
-
- writepages: called by the VM to write out pages associated with the
- address_space object. If wbc->sync_mode is WBC_SYNC_ALL, then
- the writeback_control will specify a range of pages that must be
- written out. If it is WBC_SYNC_NONE, then a nr_to_write is given
- and that many pages should be written if possible.
- If no ->writepages is given, then mpage_writepages is used
- instead. This will choose pages from the address space that are
- tagged as DIRTY and will pass them to ->writepage.
-
- set_page_dirty: called by the VM to set a page dirty.
- This is particularly needed if an address space attaches
- private data to a page, and that data needs to be updated when
- a page is dirtied. This is called, for example, when a memory
- mapped page gets modified.
- If defined, it should set the PageDirty flag, and the
- PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY tag in the radix tree.
-
- readpages: called by the VM to read pages associated with the address_space
- object. This is essentially just a vector version of
- readpage. Instead of just one page, several pages are
- requested.
- readpages is only used for read-ahead, so read errors are
- ignored. If anything goes wrong, feel free to give up.
-
- write_begin:
- Called by the generic buffered write code to ask the filesystem to
- prepare to write len bytes at the given offset in the file. The
- address_space should check that the write will be able to complete,
- by allocating space if necessary and doing any other internal
- housekeeping. If the write will update parts of any basic-blocks on
- storage, then those blocks should be pre-read (if they haven't been
- read already) so that the updated blocks can be written out properly.
-
- The filesystem must return the locked pagecache page for the specified
- offset, in *pagep, for the caller to write into.
-
- It must be able to cope with short writes (where the length passed to
- write_begin is greater than the number of bytes copied into the page).
-
- flags is a field for AOP_FLAG_xxx flags, described in
- include/linux/fs.h.
-
- A void * may be returned in fsdata, which then gets passed into
- write_end.
-
- Returns 0 on success; < 0 on failure (which is the error code), in
- which case write_end is not called.
-
- write_end: After a successful write_begin, and data copy, write_end must
- be called. len is the original len passed to write_begin, and copied
- is the amount that was able to be copied.
-
- The filesystem must take care of unlocking the page and releasing it
- refcount, and updating i_size.
-
- Returns < 0 on failure, otherwise the number of bytes (<= 'copied')
- that were able to be copied into pagecache.
-
- bmap: called by the VFS to map a logical block offset within object to
- physical block number. This method is used by the FIBMAP
- ioctl and for working with swap-files. To be able to swap to
- a file, the file must have a stable mapping to a block
- device. The swap system does not go through the filesystem
- but instead uses bmap to find out where the blocks in the file
- are and uses those addresses directly.
-
- invalidatepage: If a page has PagePrivate set, then invalidatepage
- will be called when part or all of the page is to be removed
- from the address space. This generally corresponds to either a
- truncation, punch hole or a complete invalidation of the address
- space (in the latter case 'offset' will always be 0 and 'length'
- will be PAGE_SIZE). Any private data associated with the page
- should be updated to reflect this truncation. If offset is 0 and
- length is PAGE_SIZE, then the private data should be released,
- because the page must be able to be completely discarded. This may
- be done by calling the ->releasepage function, but in this case the
- release MUST succeed.
-
- releasepage: releasepage is called on PagePrivate pages to indicate
- that the page should be freed if possible. ->releasepage
- should remove any private data from the page and clear the
- PagePrivate flag. If releasepage() fails for some reason, it must
- indicate failure with a 0 return value.
- releasepage() is used in two distinct though related cases. The
- first is when the VM finds a clean page with no active users and
- wants to make it a free page. If ->releasepage succeeds, the
- page will be removed from the address_space and become free.
-
- The second case is when a request has been made to invalidate
- some or all pages in an address_space. This can happen
- through the fadvise(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) system call or by the
- filesystem explicitly requesting it as nfs and 9fs do (when
- they believe the cache may be out of date with storage) by
- calling invalidate_inode_pages2().
- If the filesystem makes such a call, and needs to be certain
- that all pages are invalidated, then its releasepage will
- need to ensure this. Possibly it can clear the PageUptodate
- bit if it cannot free private data yet.
-
- freepage: freepage is called once the page is no longer visible in
- the page cache in order to allow the cleanup of any private
- data. Since it may be called by the memory reclaimer, it
- should not assume that the original address_space mapping still
- exists, and it should not block.
-
- direct_IO: called by the generic read/write routines to perform
- direct_IO - that is IO requests which bypass the page cache
- and transfer data directly between the storage and the
- application's address space.
-
- isolate_page: Called by the VM when isolating a movable non-lru page.
- If page is successfully isolated, VM marks the page as PG_isolated
- via __SetPageIsolated.
-
- migrate_page: This is used to compact the physical memory usage.
- If the VM wants to relocate a page (maybe off a memory card
- that is signalling imminent failure) it will pass a new page
- and an old page to this function. migrate_page should
- transfer any private data across and update any references
- that it has to the page.
-
- putback_page: Called by the VM when isolated page's migration fails.
-
- launder_page: Called before freeing a page - it writes back the dirty page. To
- prevent redirtying the page, it is kept locked during the whole
- operation.
-
- is_partially_uptodate: Called by the VM when reading a file through the
- pagecache when the underlying blocksize != pagesize. If the required
- block is up to date then the read can complete without needing the IO
- to bring the whole page up to date.
-
- is_dirty_writeback: Called by the VM when attempting to reclaim a page.
- The VM uses dirty and writeback information to determine if it needs
- to stall to allow flushers a chance to complete some IO. Ordinarily
- it can use PageDirty and PageWriteback but some filesystems have
- more complex state (unstable pages in NFS prevent reclaim) or
- do not set those flags due to locking problems. This callback
- allows a filesystem to indicate to the VM if a page should be
- treated as dirty or writeback for the purposes of stalling.
-
- error_remove_page: normally set to generic_error_remove_page if truncation
- is ok for this address space. Used for memory failure handling.
- Setting this implies you deal with pages going away under you,
- unless you have them locked or reference counts increased.
-
- swap_activate: Called when swapon is used on a file to allocate
- space if necessary and pin the block lookup information in
- memory. A return value of zero indicates success,
- in which case this file can be used to back swapspace.
-
- swap_deactivate: Called during swapoff on files where swap_activate
- was successful.
-
-
-The File Object
-===============
-
-A file object represents a file opened by a process. This is also known
-as an "open file description" in POSIX parlance.
-
-
-struct file_operations
-----------------------
-
-This describes how the VFS can manipulate an open file. As of kernel
-4.18, the following members are defined:
-
-struct file_operations {
- struct module *owner;
- loff_t (*llseek) (struct file *, loff_t, int);
- ssize_t (*read) (struct file *, char __user *, size_t, loff_t *);
- ssize_t (*write) (struct file *, const char __user *, size_t, loff_t *);
- ssize_t (*read_iter) (struct kiocb *, struct iov_iter *);
- ssize_t (*write_iter) (struct kiocb *, struct iov_iter *);
- int (*iopoll)(struct kiocb *kiocb, bool spin);
- int (*iterate) (struct file *, struct dir_context *);
- int (*iterate_shared) (struct file *, struct dir_context *);
- __poll_t (*poll) (struct file *, struct poll_table_struct *);
- long (*unlocked_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long);
- long (*compat_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long);
- int (*mmap) (struct file *, struct vm_area_struct *);
- int (*open) (struct inode *, struct file *);
- int (*flush) (struct file *, fl_owner_t id);
- int (*release) (struct inode *, struct file *);
- int (*fsync) (struct file *, loff_t, loff_t, int datasync);
- int (*fasync) (int, struct file *, int);
- int (*lock) (struct file *, int, struct file_lock *);
- ssize_t (*sendpage) (struct file *, struct page *, int, size_t, loff_t *, int);
- unsigned long (*get_unmapped_area)(struct file *, unsigned long, unsigned long, unsigned long, unsigned long);
- int (*check_flags)(int);
- int (*flock) (struct file *, int, struct file_lock *);
- ssize_t (*splice_write)(struct pipe_inode_info *, struct file *, loff_t *, size_t, unsigned int);
- ssize_t (*splice_read)(struct file *, loff_t *, struct pipe_inode_info *, size_t, unsigned int);
- int (*setlease)(struct file *, long, struct file_lock **, void **);
- long (*fallocate)(struct file *file, int mode, loff_t offset,
- loff_t len);
- void (*show_fdinfo)(struct seq_file *m, struct file *f);
-#ifndef CONFIG_MMU
- unsigned (*mmap_capabilities)(struct file *);
-#endif
- ssize_t (*copy_file_range)(struct file *, loff_t, struct file *, loff_t, size_t, unsigned int);
- loff_t (*remap_file_range)(struct file *file_in, loff_t pos_in,
- struct file *file_out, loff_t pos_out,
- loff_t len, unsigned int remap_flags);
- int (*fadvise)(struct file *, loff_t, loff_t, int);
-};
-
-Again, all methods are called without any locks being held, unless
-otherwise noted.
-
- llseek: called when the VFS needs to move the file position index
-
- read: called by read(2) and related system calls
-
- read_iter: possibly asynchronous read with iov_iter as destination
-
- write: called by write(2) and related system calls
-
- write_iter: possibly asynchronous write with iov_iter as source
-
- iopoll: called when aio wants to poll for completions on HIPRI iocbs
-
- iterate: called when the VFS needs to read the directory contents
-
- iterate_shared: called when the VFS needs to read the directory contents
- when filesystem supports concurrent dir iterators
-
- poll: called by the VFS when a process wants to check if there is
- activity on this file and (optionally) go to sleep until there
- is activity. Called by the select(2) and poll(2) system calls
-
- unlocked_ioctl: called by the ioctl(2) system call.
-
- compat_ioctl: called by the ioctl(2) system call when 32 bit system calls
- are used on 64 bit kernels.
-
- mmap: called by the mmap(2) system call
-
- open: called by the VFS when an inode should be opened. When the VFS
- opens a file, it creates a new "struct file". It then calls the
- open method for the newly allocated file structure. You might
- think that the open method really belongs in
- "struct inode_operations", and you may be right. I think it's
- done the way it is because it makes filesystems simpler to
- implement. The open() method is a good place to initialize the
- "private_data" member in the file structure if you want to point
- to a device structure
-
- flush: called by the close(2) system call to flush a file
-
- release: called when the last reference to an open file is closed
-
- fsync: called by the fsync(2) system call. Also see the section above
- entitled "Handling errors during writeback".
-
- fasync: called by the fcntl(2) system call when asynchronous
- (non-blocking) mode is enabled for a file
-
- lock: called by the fcntl(2) system call for F_GETLK, F_SETLK, and F_SETLKW
- commands
-
- get_unmapped_area: called by the mmap(2) system call
-
- check_flags: called by the fcntl(2) system call for F_SETFL command
-
- flock: called by the flock(2) system call
-
- splice_write: called by the VFS to splice data from a pipe to a file. This
- method is used by the splice(2) system call
-
- splice_read: called by the VFS to splice data from file to a pipe. This
- method is used by the splice(2) system call
-
- setlease: called by the VFS to set or release a file lock lease. setlease
- implementations should call generic_setlease to record or remove
- the lease in the inode after setting it.
-
- fallocate: called by the VFS to preallocate blocks or punch a hole.
-
- copy_file_range: called by the copy_file_range(2) system call.
-
- remap_file_range: called by the ioctl(2) system call for FICLONERANGE and
- FICLONE and FIDEDUPERANGE commands to remap file ranges. An
- implementation should remap len bytes at pos_in of the source file into
- the dest file at pos_out. Implementations must handle callers passing
- in len == 0; this means "remap to the end of the source file". The
- return value should the number of bytes remapped, or the usual
- negative error code if errors occurred before any bytes were remapped.
- The remap_flags parameter accepts REMAP_FILE_* flags. If
- REMAP_FILE_DEDUP is set then the implementation must only remap if the
- requested file ranges have identical contents. If REMAP_CAN_SHORTEN is
- set, the caller is ok with the implementation shortening the request
- length to satisfy alignment or EOF requirements (or any other reason).
-
- fadvise: possibly called by the fadvise64() system call.
-
-Note that the file operations are implemented by the specific
-filesystem in which the inode resides. When opening a device node
-(character or block special) most filesystems will call special
-support routines in the VFS which will locate the required device
-driver information. These support routines replace the filesystem file
-operations with those for the device driver, and then proceed to call
-the new open() method for the file. This is how opening a device file
-in the filesystem eventually ends up calling the device driver open()
-method.
-
-
-Directory Entry Cache (dcache)
-==============================
-
-
-struct dentry_operations
-------------------------
-
-This describes how a filesystem can overload the standard dentry
-operations. Dentries and the dcache are the domain of the VFS and the
-individual filesystem implementations. Device drivers have no business
-here. These methods may be set to NULL, as they are either optional or
-the VFS uses a default. As of kernel 2.6.22, the following members are
-defined:
-
-struct dentry_operations {
- int (*d_revalidate)(struct dentry *, unsigned int);
- int (*d_weak_revalidate)(struct dentry *, unsigned int);
- int (*d_hash)(const struct dentry *, struct qstr *);
- int (*d_compare)(const struct dentry *,
- unsigned int, const char *, const struct qstr *);
- int (*d_delete)(const struct dentry *);
- int (*d_init)(struct dentry *);
- void (*d_release)(struct dentry *);
- void (*d_iput)(struct dentry *, struct inode *);
- char *(*d_dname)(struct dentry *, char *, int);
- struct vfsmount *(*d_automount)(struct path *);
- int (*d_manage)(const struct path *, bool);
- struct dentry *(*d_real)(struct dentry *, const struct inode *);
-};
-
- d_revalidate: called when the VFS needs to revalidate a dentry. This
- is called whenever a name look-up finds a dentry in the
- dcache. Most local filesystems leave this as NULL, because all their
- dentries in the dcache are valid. Network filesystems are different
- since things can change on the server without the client necessarily
- being aware of it.
-
- This function should return a positive value if the dentry is still
- valid, and zero or a negative error code if it isn't.
-
- d_revalidate may be called in rcu-walk mode (flags & LOOKUP_RCU).
- If in rcu-walk mode, the filesystem must revalidate the dentry without
- blocking or storing to the dentry, d_parent and d_inode should not be
- used without care (because they can change and, in d_inode case, even
- become NULL under us).
-
- If a situation is encountered that rcu-walk cannot handle, return
- -ECHILD and it will be called again in ref-walk mode.
-
- d_weak_revalidate: called when the VFS needs to revalidate a "jumped" dentry.
- This is called when a path-walk ends at dentry that was not acquired by
- doing a lookup in the parent directory. This includes "/", "." and "..",
- as well as procfs-style symlinks and mountpoint traversal.
-
- In this case, we are less concerned with whether the dentry is still
- fully correct, but rather that the inode is still valid. As with
- d_revalidate, most local filesystems will set this to NULL since their
- dcache entries are always valid.
-
- This function has the same return code semantics as d_revalidate.
-
- d_weak_revalidate is only called after leaving rcu-walk mode.
-
- d_hash: called when the VFS adds a dentry to the hash table. The first
- dentry passed to d_hash is the parent directory that the name is
- to be hashed into.
-
- Same locking and synchronisation rules as d_compare regarding
- what is safe to dereference etc.
-
- d_compare: called to compare a dentry name with a given name. The first
- dentry is the parent of the dentry to be compared, the second is
- the child dentry. len and name string are properties of the dentry
- to be compared. qstr is the name to compare it with.
-
- Must be constant and idempotent, and should not take locks if
- possible, and should not or store into the dentry.
- Should not dereference pointers outside the dentry without
- lots of care (eg. d_parent, d_inode, d_name should not be used).
-
- However, our vfsmount is pinned, and RCU held, so the dentries and
- inodes won't disappear, neither will our sb or filesystem module.
- ->d_sb may be used.
-
- It is a tricky calling convention because it needs to be called under
- "rcu-walk", ie. without any locks or references on things.
-
- d_delete: called when the last reference to a dentry is dropped and the
- dcache is deciding whether or not to cache it. Return 1 to delete
- immediately, or 0 to cache the dentry. Default is NULL which means to
- always cache a reachable dentry. d_delete must be constant and
- idempotent.
-
- d_init: called when a dentry is allocated
-
- d_release: called when a dentry is really deallocated
-
- d_iput: called when a dentry loses its inode (just prior to its
- being deallocated). The default when this is NULL is that the
- VFS calls iput(). If you define this method, you must call
- iput() yourself
-
- d_dname: called when the pathname of a dentry should be generated.
- Useful for some pseudo filesystems (sockfs, pipefs, ...) to delay
- pathname generation. (Instead of doing it when dentry is created,
- it's done only when the path is needed.). Real filesystems probably
- dont want to use it, because their dentries are present in global
- dcache hash, so their hash should be an invariant. As no lock is
- held, d_dname() should not try to modify the dentry itself, unless
- appropriate SMP safety is used. CAUTION : d_path() logic is quite
- tricky. The correct way to return for example "Hello" is to put it
- at the end of the buffer, and returns a pointer to the first char.
- dynamic_dname() helper function is provided to take care of this.
-
- Example :
-
- static char *pipefs_dname(struct dentry *dent, char *buffer, int buflen)
- {
- return dynamic_dname(dentry, buffer, buflen, "pipe:[%lu]",
- dentry->d_inode->i_ino);
- }
-
- d_automount: called when an automount dentry is to be traversed (optional).
- This should create a new VFS mount record and return the record to the
- caller. The caller is supplied with a path parameter giving the
- automount directory to describe the automount target and the parent
- VFS mount record to provide inheritable mount parameters. NULL should
- be returned if someone else managed to make the automount first. If
- the vfsmount creation failed, then an error code should be returned.
- If -EISDIR is returned, then the directory will be treated as an
- ordinary directory and returned to pathwalk to continue walking.
-
- If a vfsmount is returned, the caller will attempt to mount it on the
- mountpoint and will remove the vfsmount from its expiration list in
- the case of failure. The vfsmount should be returned with 2 refs on
- it to prevent automatic expiration - the caller will clean up the
- additional ref.
-
- This function is only used if DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT is set on the
- dentry. This is set by __d_instantiate() if S_AUTOMOUNT is set on the
- inode being added.
-
- d_manage: called to allow the filesystem to manage the transition from a
- dentry (optional). This allows autofs, for example, to hold up clients
- waiting to explore behind a 'mountpoint' while letting the daemon go
- past and construct the subtree there. 0 should be returned to let the
- calling process continue. -EISDIR can be returned to tell pathwalk to
- use this directory as an ordinary directory and to ignore anything
- mounted on it and not to check the automount flag. Any other error
- code will abort pathwalk completely.
-
- If the 'rcu_walk' parameter is true, then the caller is doing a
- pathwalk in RCU-walk mode. Sleeping is not permitted in this mode,
- and the caller can be asked to leave it and call again by returning
- -ECHILD. -EISDIR may also be returned to tell pathwalk to
- ignore d_automount or any mounts.
-
- This function is only used if DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT is set on the
- dentry being transited from.
-
- d_real: overlay/union type filesystems implement this method to return one of
- the underlying dentries hidden by the overlay. It is used in two
- different modes:
-
- Called from file_dentry() it returns the real dentry matching the inode
- argument. The real dentry may be from a lower layer already copied up,
- but still referenced from the file. This mode is selected with a
- non-NULL inode argument.
-
- With NULL inode the topmost real underlying dentry is returned.
-
-Each dentry has a pointer to its parent dentry, as well as a hash list
-of child dentries. Child dentries are basically like files in a
-directory.
-
-
-Directory Entry Cache API
---------------------------
-
-There are a number of functions defined which permit a filesystem to
-manipulate dentries:
-
- dget: open a new handle for an existing dentry (this just increments
- the usage count)
-
- dput: close a handle for a dentry (decrements the usage count). If
- the usage count drops to 0, and the dentry is still in its
- parent's hash, the "d_delete" method is called to check whether
- it should be cached. If it should not be cached, or if the dentry
- is not hashed, it is deleted. Otherwise cached dentries are put
- into an LRU list to be reclaimed on memory shortage.
-
- d_drop: this unhashes a dentry from its parents hash list. A
- subsequent call to dput() will deallocate the dentry if its
- usage count drops to 0
-
- d_delete: delete a dentry. If there are no other open references to
- the dentry then the dentry is turned into a negative dentry
- (the d_iput() method is called). If there are other
- references, then d_drop() is called instead
-
- d_add: add a dentry to its parents hash list and then calls
- d_instantiate()
-
- d_instantiate: add a dentry to the alias hash list for the inode and
- updates the "d_inode" member. The "i_count" member in the
- inode structure should be set/incremented. If the inode
- pointer is NULL, the dentry is called a "negative
- dentry". This function is commonly called when an inode is
- created for an existing negative dentry
-
- d_lookup: look up a dentry given its parent and path name component
- It looks up the child of that given name from the dcache
- hash table. If it is found, the reference count is incremented
- and the dentry is returned. The caller must use dput()
- to free the dentry when it finishes using it.
-
-Mount Options
-=============
-
-Parsing options
----------------
-
-On mount and remount the filesystem is passed a string containing a
-comma separated list of mount options. The options can have either of
-these forms:
-
- option
- option=value
-
-The <linux/parser.h> header defines an API that helps parse these
-options. There are plenty of examples on how to use it in existing
-filesystems.
-
-Showing options
----------------
-
-If a filesystem accepts mount options, it must define show_options()
-to show all the currently active options. The rules are:
-
- - options MUST be shown which are not default or their values differ
- from the default
-
- - options MAY be shown which are enabled by default or have their
- default value
-
-Options used only internally between a mount helper and the kernel
-(such as file descriptors), or which only have an effect during the
-mounting (such as ones controlling the creation of a journal) are exempt
-from the above rules.
-
-The underlying reason for the above rules is to make sure, that a
-mount can be accurately replicated (e.g. umounting and mounting again)
-based on the information found in /proc/mounts.
-
-Resources

- version.)

+The AML Debugger
+================
+
+:Copyright: |copy| 2016, Intel Corporation
+:Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com>
+
+
+This document describes the usage of the AML debugger embedded in the Linux
+kernel.
+
+1. Build the debugger
+=====================
+
+The following kernel configuration items are required to enable the AML
+debugger interface from the Linux kernel::
+
+ CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER=y
+ CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER_USER=m
+
+The userspace utilities can be built from the kernel source tree using
+the following commands::
+
+ $ cd tools
+ $ make acpi
+
+The resultant userspace tool binary is then located at::
+
+ tools/power/acpi/acpidbg
+
+It can be installed to system directories by running "make install" (as a
+sufficiently privileged user).
+
+2. Start the userspace debugger interface
+=========================================
+
+After booting the kernel with the debugger built-in, the debugger can be
+started by using the following commands::
+
+ # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
+ # modprobe acpi_dbg
+ # tools/power/acpi/acpidbg
+
+That spawns the interactive AML debugger environment where you can execute
+debugger commands.
+
+The commands are documented in the "ACPICA Overview and Programmer Reference"
+that can be downloaded from
+
+https://acpica.org/documentation
+
+The detailed debugger commands reference is located in Chapter 12 "ACPICA
+Debugger Reference". The "help" command can be used for a quick reference.
+
+3. Stop the userspace debugger interface
+========================================
+
+The interactive debugger interface can be closed by pressing Ctrl+C or using
+the "quit" or "exit" commands. When finished, unload the module with::
+
+ # rmmod acpi_dbg
+
+The module unloading may fail if there is an acpidbg instance running.
+
+4. Run the debugger in a script
+===============================
+
+It may be useful to run the AML debugger in a test script. "acpidbg" supports
+this in a special "batch" mode. For example, the following command outputs
+the entire ACPI namespace::
+
+ # acpidbg -b "namespace"

MFD devices
-~~~~~~~~~~~
+===========
+
The MFD devices register their children as platform devices. For the child
devices there needs to be an ACPI handle that they can use to reference
parts of the ACPI namespace that relate to them. In the Linux MFD subsystem
we provide two ways:
- o The children share the parent ACPI handle.
- o The MFD cell can specify the ACPI id of the device.
+ - The children share the parent ACPI handle.
+ - The MFD cell can specify the ACPI id of the device.
For the first case, the MFD drivers do not need to do anything. The
resulting child platform device will have its ACPI_COMPANION() set to point
to the parent device.
If the ACPI namespace has a device that we can match using an ACPI id or ACPI

+Linux ACPI Custom Control Method How To
+=======================================
+
+:Author: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>
+
+
+Linux supports customizing ACPI control methods at runtime.
+
+Users can use this to:
+
+1. override an existing method which may not work correctly,
+ or just for debugging purposes.
+2. insert a completely new method in order to create a missing
+ method such as _OFF, _ON, _STA, _INI, etc.
+
+For these cases, it is far simpler to dynamically install a single
+control method rather than override the entire DSDT, because kernel
+rebuild/reboot is not needed and test result can be got in minutes.
+
+.. note::
+
+ - Only ACPI METHOD can be overridden, any other object types like
+ "Device", "OperationRegion", are not recognized. Methods
+ declared inside scope operators are also not supported.
+
+ - The same ACPI control method can be overridden for many times,
+ and it's always the latest one that used by Linux/kernel.
+
+ - To get the ACPI debug object output (Store (AAAA, Debug)),
+ please run::
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/aml_debug_output
+
+
+1. override an existing method
+==============================
+a) get the ACPI table via ACPI sysfs I/F. e.g. to get the DSDT,
+ just run "cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > /tmp/dsdt.dat"
+b) disassemble the table by running "iasl -d dsdt.dat".
+c) rewrite the ASL code of the method and save it in a new file,
+d) package the new file (psr.asl) to an ACPI table format.
+ Here is an example of a customized \_SB._AC._PSR method::
+
+ DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 1, "", "", 0x20080715)
+ {
+ Method (\_SB_.AC._PSR, 0, NotSerialized)
+ {
+ Store ("In AC _PSR", Debug)
+ Return (ACON)
+ }
+ }
+
+ Note that the full pathname of the method in ACPI namespace
+ should be used.
+e) assemble the file to generate the AML code of the method.
+ e.g. "iasl -vw 6084 psr.asl" (psr.aml is generated as a result)
+ If parameter "-vw 6084" is not supported by your iASL compiler,
+ please try a newer version.
+f) mount debugfs by "mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug"
+g) override the old method via the debugfs by running
+ "cat /tmp/psr.aml > /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method"
+
+2. insert a new method
+======================
+This is easier than overriding an existing method.
+We just need to create the ASL code of the method we want to
+insert and then follow the step c) ~ g) in section 1.
+
+3. undo your changes
+====================
+The "undo" operation is not supported for a new inserted method
+right now, i.e. we can not remove a method currently.
+For an overridden method, in order to undo your changes, please
+save a copy of the method original ASL code in step c) section 1,
+and redo step c) ~ g) to override the method with the original one.
+
+
+.. note:: We can use a kernel with multiple custom ACPI method running,
+ But each individual write to debugfs can implement a SINGLE
+ method override. i.e. if we want to insert/override multiple
+ ACPI methods, we need to redo step c) ~ g) for multiple times.
+
+.. note:: Be aware that root can mis-use this driver to modify arbitrary
+ memory and gain additional rights, if root's privileges got
+ restricted (for example if root is not allowed to load additional
+ modules after boot).

+ACPICA Trace Facility
+=====================
+
+:Copyright: |copy| 2015, Intel Corporation
+:Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com>
+
+
+Abstract
+========
+This document describes the functions and the interfaces of the
+method tracing facility.
+
+Functionalities and usage examples
+==================================
+
+ACPICA provides method tracing capability. And two functions are
+currently implemented using this capability.
+
+Log reducer
+-----------
+
+ACPICA subsystem provides debugging outputs when CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is
+enabled. The debugging messages which are deployed via
+ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT() macro can be reduced at 2 levels - per-component
+level (known as debug layer, configured via
+/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer) and per-type level (known as
+debug level, configured via /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level).
+
+But when the particular layer/level is applied to the control method
+evaluations, the quantity of the debugging outputs may still be too
+large to be put into the kernel log buffer. The idea thus is worked out
+to only enable the particular debug layer/level (normally more detailed)
+logs when the control method evaluation is started, and disable the
+detailed logging when the control method evaluation is stopped.
+
+The following command examples illustrate the usage of the "log reducer"
+functionality:
+
+a. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when control methods
+ are being evaluated::
+
+ # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
+ # echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer
+ # echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level
+ # echo "enable" > trace_state
+
+b. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when the specified
+ control method is being evaluated::
+
+ # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
+ # echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer
+ # echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level
+ # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
+ # echo "method" > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state
+
+c. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when the specified
+ control method is being evaluated for the first time::
+
+ # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
+ # echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer
+ # echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level
+ # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
+ # echo "method-once" > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state
+
+Where:
+ 0xXXXXXXXX/0xYYYYYYYY
+ Refer to Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/debug.rst for possible debug layer/level
+ masking values.
+ \PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH
+ Full path of a control method that can be found in the ACPI namespace.
+ It needn't be an entry of a control method evaluation.
+
+AML tracer
+----------
+
+There are special log entries added by the method tracing facility at
+the "trace points" the AML interpreter starts/stops to execute a control
+method, or an AML opcode. Note that the format of the log entries are
+subject to change::

+Developers can utilize these special log entries to track the AML
+interpretion, thus can aid issue debugging and performance tuning. Note
+that, as the "AML tracer" logs are implemented via ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT()
+macro, CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is also required to be enabled for enabling
+"AML tracer" logs.
+
+The following command examples illustrate the usage of the "AML tracer"
+functionality:
+
+a. Filter out the method start/stop "AML tracer" logs when control
+ methods are being evaluated::
+
+ # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
+ # echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
+ # echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
+ # echo "enable" > trace_state
+
+b. Filter out the method start/stop "AML tracer" when the specified
+ control method is being evaluated::
+
+ # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
+ # echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
+ # echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
+ # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
+ # echo "method" > trace_state
+
+c. Filter out the method start/stop "AML tracer" logs when the specified
+ control method is being evaluated for the first time::
+
+ # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
+ # echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
+ # echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
+ # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
+ # echo "method-once" > trace_state
+
+d. Filter out the method/opcode start/stop "AML tracer" when the
+ specified control method is being evaluated::
+
+ # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
+ # echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
+ # echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
+ # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
+ # echo "opcode" > trace_state
+
+e. Filter out the method/opcode start/stop "AML tracer" when the
+ specified control method is being evaluated for the first time::
+
+ # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
+ # echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
+ # echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
+ # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
+ # echo "opcode-opcode" > trace_state
+
+Note that all above method tracing facility related module parameters can
+be used as the boot parameters, for example::
+
+ acpi.trace_debug_layer=0x80 acpi.trace_debug_level=0x10 \
+ acpi.trace_method_name=\_SB.LID0._LID acpi.trace_state=opcode-once
+
+
+Interface descriptions
+======================
+
+All method tracing functions can be configured via ACPI module
+parameters that are accessible at /sys/module/acpi/parameters/:
+
+trace_method_name
+ The full path of the AML method that the user wants to trace.
+
+ Note that the full path shouldn't contain the trailing "_"s in its
+ name segments but may contain "\" to form an absolute path.
+
+trace_debug_layer
+ The temporary debug_layer used when the tracing feature is enabled.
+
+ Using ACPI_EXECUTER (0x80) by default, which is the debug_layer
+ used to match all "AML tracer" logs.
+
+trace_debug_level
+ The temporary debug_level used when the tracing feature is enabled.
+
+ Using ACPI_LV_TRACE_POINT (0x10) by default, which is the
+ debug_level used to match all "AML tracer" logs.
+
+trace_state
+ The status of the tracing feature.
+
+ Users can enable/disable this debug tracing feature by executing
+ the following command::
+
+ # echo string > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state
+
+Where "string" should be one of the following:
+
+"disable"
+ Disable the method tracing feature.
+
+"enable"
+ Enable the method tracing feature.
+
+ ACPICA debugging messages matching "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level"
+ during any method execution will be logged.
+
+"method"
+ Enable the method tracing feature.
+
+ ACPICA debugging messages matching "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level"
+ during method execution of "trace_method_name" will be logged.
+
+"method-once"
+ Enable the method tracing feature.
+
+ ACPICA debugging messages matching "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level"
+ during method execution of "trace_method_name" will be logged only once.
+
+"opcode"
+ Enable the method tracing feature.
+
+ ACPICA debugging messages matching "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level"
+ during method/opcode execution of "trace_method_name" will be logged.
+
+"opcode-once"
+ Enable the method tracing feature.
+
+ ACPICA debugging messages matching "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level"
+ during method/opcode execution of "trace_method_name" will be logged only
+ once.
+
+Note that, the difference between the "enable" and other feature
+enabling options are:
+
+1. When "enable" is specified, since
+ "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" shall apply to all control
+ method evaluations, after configuring "trace_state" to "enable",
+ "trace_method_name" will be reset to NULL.
+2. When "method/opcode" is specified, if
+ "trace_method_name" is NULL when "trace_state" is configured to
+ these options, the "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" will
+ apply to all control method evaluations.

+ACPI Definition Blocks
+======================
+
+The ACPI firmware sets up RSDP (Root System Description Pointer) in the

+Description Table). The XSDT always points to the FADT (Fixed ACPI
+Description Table) using its first entry, the data within the FADT

+
+The DSDT and SSDT data is organized in data structures called definition

-4. Linux ACPI Physical Device Glue
-
- ACPI device (i.e. struct acpi_device) objects may be linked to other
- objects in the Linux' device hierarchy that represent "physical" devices
- (for example, devices on the PCI bus). If that happens, it means that
- the ACPI device object is a "companion" of a device otherwise
- represented in a different way and is used (1) to provide configuration
- information on that device which cannot be obtained by other means and
- (2) to do specific things to the device with the help of its ACPI
- control methods. One ACPI device object may be linked this way to
- multiple "physical" devices.
-
- If an ACPI device object is linked to a "physical" device, its sysfs
- directory contains the "physical_node" symbolic link to the sysfs
- directory of the target device object. In turn, the target device's
- sysfs directory will then contain the "firmware_node" symbolic link to
- the sysfs directory of the companion ACPI device object.
- The linking mechanism relies on device identification provided by the
- ACPI namespace. For example, if there's an ACPI namespace object
- representing a PCI device (i.e. a device object under an ACPI namespace
- object representing a PCI bridge) whose _ADR returns 0x00020000 and the
- bus number of the parent PCI bridge is 0, the sysfs directory
- representing the struct acpi_device object created for that ACPI
- namespace object will contain the 'physical_node' symbolic link to the
- /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02:0/ sysfs directory of the
- corresponding PCI device.
-
- The linking mechanism is generally bus-specific. The core of its
- implementation is located in the drivers/acpi/glue.c file, but there are
- complementary parts depending on the bus types in question located
- elsewhere. For example, the PCI-specific part of it is located in

-What is FMC
-***********
-
-FMC, as said, stands for "FPGA Mezzanine Card". It is a standard
-developed by the VME consortium called VITA (VMEbus International Trade
-Association and ratified by ANSI, the American National Standard
-Institute. The official documentation is called "ANSI-VITA 57.1".
-
-The FMC card is an almost square PCB, around 70x75 millimeters, that is
-called mezzanine in this document. It usually lives plugged into
-another PCB for power supply and control; such bigger circuit board is
-called carrier from now on, and a single carrier may host more than one
-mezzanine.
-
-In the typical application the mezzanine is mostly analog while the
-carrier is mostly digital, and hosts an FPGA that must be configured to
-match the specific mezzanine and the desired application. Thus, you may
-need to load different FPGA images to drive different instances of the
-same mezzanine.
-
-FMC, as such, is not a bus in the usual meaning of the term, because
-most carriers have only one connector, and carriers with several
-connectors have completely separate electrical connections to them.
-This package, however, implements a bus as a software abstraction.
-
-
-What is SDB
-***********
-
-SDB (Self Describing Bus) is a set of data structures that we use for
-enumerating the internal structure of an FPGA image. We also use it as
-a filesystem inside the FMC EEPROM.
-
-SDB is not mandatory for use of this FMC kernel bus, but if you have SDB
-this package can make good use of it. SDB itself is developed in the
-fpga-config-space OHWR project. The link to the repository is
-`git://ohwr.org/hdl-core-lib/fpga-config-space.git' and what is used in
-this project lives in the sdbfs subdirectory in there.

-FMC Device
-**********
-
-Within the Linux bus framework, the FMC device is created and
-registered by the carrier driver. For example, the PCI driver for the
-SPEC card fills a data structure for each SPEC that it drives, and
-registers an associated FMC device for each card. The SVEC driver can
-do exactly the same for the VME carrier (actually, it should do it
-twice, because the SVEC carries two FMC mezzanines). Similarly, an
-Etherbone driver will be able to register its own FMC devices, offering
-communication primitives through frame exchange.
-
-The contents of the EEPROM within the FMC are used for identification
-purposes, i.e. for matching the device with its own driver. For this
-reason the device structure includes a complete copy of the EEPROM
-(actually, the carrier driver may choose whether or not to return it -
-for example we most likely won't have the whole EEPROM available for
-Etherbone devices.
-
-The following listing shows the current structure defining a device.
-Please note that all the machinery is in place but some details may
-still change in the future. For this reason, there is a version field
-at the beginning of the structure. As usual, the minor number will
-change for compatible changes (like a new flag) and the major number
-will increase when an incompatible change happens (for example, a
-change in layout of some fmc data structures). Device writers should
-just set it to the value FMC_VERSION, and be ready to get back -EINVAL
-at registration time.

- * hwdev: to be used in some dev_err() calls.
-
- * device_id: a slot-specific unique integer number.
-
-
-Please note that the carrier should read its own EEPROM memory before
-registering the device, as well as fill all other fields listed above.
-
-The following fields should not be assigned, because they are filled
-later by either the bus or the device driver:
-
- * flags.
-
- * fru_id: filled by the bus, parsing the eeprom.
-
- * slot_base: filled and used by the driver, if useful to it.
-
- * devarray: an array og all mezzanines driven by a singe FPGA.
-
- * nr_slots: set by the core at registration time.
-
- * dev: used by Linux.
-
- * sdb: FPGA contents, scanned according to driver's directions.
-
- * sdbfs_entry: SDB entry point in EEPROM: autodetected.
-
- * mezzanine_data: available for the driver.
-
- * mezzanine_name: filled by fmc-bus during identification.
-
-
-Note: mezzanine_data may be redundant, because Linux offers the drvdata
-approach, so the field may be removed in later versions of this bus
-implementation.
-
-As I write this, she SPEC carrier is already completely functional in
-the fmc-bus environment, and is a good reference to look at.
-
-
-The API Offered by Carriers
-===========================
-
-The carrier provides a number of methods by means of the
-`fmc_operations' structure, which currently is defined like this
-(again, it is a moving target, please refer to the header rather than
-this document):
-
- struct fmc_operations {
- uint32_t (*readl)(struct fmc_device *fmc, int offset);
- void (*writel)(struct fmc_device *fmc, uint32_t value, int offset);
- int (*reprogram)(struct fmc_device *f, struct fmc_driver *d, char *gw);
- int (*validate)(struct fmc_device *fmc, struct fmc_driver *drv);
- int (*irq_request)(struct fmc_device *fmc, irq_handler_t h,
- char *name, int flags);
- void (*irq_ack)(struct fmc_device *fmc);
- int (*irq_free)(struct fmc_device *fmc);
- int (*gpio_config)(struct fmc_device *fmc, struct fmc_gpio *gpio,
- int ngpio);
- int (*read_ee)(struct fmc_device *fmc, int pos, void *d, int l);
- int (*write_ee)(struct fmc_device *fmc, int pos, const void *d, int l);
- };
-
-The individual methods perform the following tasks:
-
-`readl'
-`writel'
- These functions access FPGA registers by whatever means the
- carrier offers. They are not expected to fail, and most of the time
- they will just make a memory access to the host bus. If the
- carrier provides a fpga_base pointer, the driver may use direct
- access through that pointer. For this reason the header offers the
- inline functions fmc_readl and fmc_writel that access fpga_base if
- the respective method is NULL. A driver that wants to be portable
- and efficient should use fmc_readl and fmc_writel. For Etherbone,
- or other non-local carriers, error-management is still to be
- defined.
-
-`validate'
- Module parameters are used to manage different applications for
- two or more boards of the same kind. Validation is based on the
- busid module parameter, if provided, and returns the matching
- index in the associated array. See *note Module Parameters:: in in
- doubt. If no match is found, `-ENOENT' is returned; if the user
- didn't pass `busid=', all devices will pass validation. The value
- returned by the validate method can be used as index into other
- parameters (for example, some drivers use the `lm32=' parameter in
- this way). Such "generic parameters" are documented in *note
- Module Parameters::, below. The validate method is used by
- `fmc-trivial.ko', described in *note fmc-trivial::.
-
-`reprogram'
- The carrier enumerates FMC devices by loading a standard (or
- golden) FPGA binary that allows EEPROM access. Each driver, then,
- will need to reprogram the FPGA by calling this function. If the
- name argument is NULL, the carrier should reprogram the golden
- binary. If the gateware name has been overridden through module
- parameters (in a carrier-specific way) the file loaded will match
- the parameters. Per-device gateware names can be specified using
- the `gateware=' parameter, see *note Module Parameters::. Note:
- Clients should call rhe new helper, fmc_reprogram, which both
- calls this method and parse the SDB tree of the FPGA.
-
-`irq_request'
-`irq_ack'
-`irq_free'
- Interrupt management is carrier-specific, so it is abstracted as
- operations. The interrupt number is listed in the device
- structure, and for the mezzanine driver the number is only
- informative. The handler will receive the fmc pointer as dev_id;
- the flags argument is passed to the Linux request_irq function,
- but fmc-specific flags may be added in the future. You'll most
- likely want to pass the `IRQF_SHARED' flag.
-
-`gpio_config'
- The method allows to configure a GPIO pin in the carrier, and read
- its current value if it is configured as input. See *note The GPIO
- Abstraction:: for details.
-
-`read_ee'
-`write_ee'
- Read or write the EEPROM. The functions are expected to be only
- called before reprogramming and the carrier should refuse them
- with `ENODEV' after reprogramming. The offset is expected to be
- within 8kB (the current size), but addresses up to 1MB are
- reserved to fit bigger I2C devices in the future. Carriers may
- offer access to other internal flash memories using these same
- methods: for example the SPEC driver may define that its carrier
- I2C memory is seen at offset 1M and the internal SPI flash is seen
- at offset 16M. This multiplexing of several flash memories in the
- same address space is carrier-specific and should only be used
- by a driver that has verified the `carrier_name' field.
-
-
-
-The GPIO Abstraction
-====================
-
-Support for GPIO pins in the fmc-bus environment is not very
-straightforward and deserves special discussion.
-
-While the general idea of a carrier-independent driver seems to fly,
-configuration of specific signals within the carrier needs at least
-some knowledge of the carrier itself. For this reason, the specific
-driver can request to configure carrier-specific GPIO pins, numbered
-from 0 to at most 4095. Configuration is performed by passing a
-pointer to an array of struct fmc_gpio items, as well as the length of
-the array. This is the data structure:
-
- struct fmc_gpio {
- char *carrier_name;
- int gpio;
- int _gpio; /* internal use by the carrier */
- int mode; /* GPIOF_DIR_OUT etc, from <linux/gpio.h> */
- int irqmode; /* IRQF_TRIGGER_LOW and so on */
- };
-
-By specifying a carrier_name for each pin, the driver may access
-different pins in different carriers. The gpio_config method is
-expected to return the number of pins successfully configured, ignoring
-requests for other carriers. However, if no pin is configured (because
-no structure at all refers to the current carrier_name), the operation
-returns an error so the caller will know that it is running under a
-yet-unsupported carrier.
-
-So, for example, a driver that has been developed and tested on both
-the SPEC and the SVEC may request configuration of two different GPIO
-pins, and expect one such configuration to succeed - if none succeeds
-it most likely means that the current carrier is a still-unknown one.
-
-If, however, your GPIO pin has a specific known role, you can pass a
-special number in the gpio field, using one of the following macros:
-
- #define FMC_GPIO_RAW(x) (x) /* 4096 of them */
- #define FMC_GPIO_IRQ(x) ((x) + 0x1000) /* 256 of them */
- #define FMC_GPIO_LED(x) ((x) + 0x1100) /* 256 of them */
- #define FMC_GPIO_KEY(x) ((x) + 0x1200) /* 256 of them */
- #define FMC_GPIO_TP(x) ((x) + 0x1300) /* 256 of them */
- #define FMC_GPIO_USER(x) ((x) + 0x1400) /* 256 of them */
-
-Use of virtual GPIO numbers (anything but FMC_GPIO_RAW) is allowed
-provided the carrier_name field in the data structure is left
-unspecified (NULL). Each carrier is responsible for providing a mapping
-between virtual and physical GPIO numbers. The carrier may then use the
-_gpio field to cache the result of this mapping.
-
-All carriers must map their I/O lines to the sets above starting from
-zero. The SPEC, for example, maps interrupt pins 0 and 1, and test
-points 0 through 3 (even if the test points on the PCB are called
-5,6,7,8).
-
-If, for example, a driver requires a free LED and a test point (for a
-scope probe to be plugged at some point during development) it may ask
-for FMC_GPIO_LED(0) and FMC_GPIO_TP(0). Each carrier will provide
-suitable GPIO pins. Clearly, the person running the drivers will know
-the order used by the specific carrier driver in assigning leds and
-testpoints, so to make a carrier-dependent use of the diagnostic tools.
-
-In theory, some form of autodetection should be possible: a driver like
-the wr-nic (which uses IRQ(1) on the SPEC card) should configure
-IRQ(0), make a test with software-generated interrupts and configure
-IRQ(1) if the test fails. This probing step should be used because even
-if the wr-nic gateware is known to use IRQ1 on the SPEC, the driver
-should be carrier-independent and thus use IRQ(0) as a first bet -
-actually, the knowledge that IRQ0 may fail is carrier-dependent
-information, but using it doesn't make the driver unsuitable for other
-carriers.
-
-The return value of gpio_config is defined as follows:
-
- * If no pin in the array can be used by the carrier, `-ENODEV'.
-
- * If at least one virtual GPIO number cannot be mapped, `-ENOENT'.
-
- * On success, 0 or positive. The value returned is the number of
- high input bits (if no input is configured, the value for success
- is 0).
-
-While I admit the procedure is not completely straightforward, it
-allows configuration, input and output with a single carrier operation.
-Given the typical use case of FMC devices, GPIO operations are not
-expected to ever by in hot paths, and GPIO access so fare has only been
-used to configure the interrupt pin, mode and polarity. Especially
-reading inputs is not expected to be common. If your device has GPIO
-capabilities in the hot path, you should consider using the kernel's
-GPIO mechanisms.

-fmc-chardev
-===========
-
-This is a simple generic driver, that allows user access by means of a
-character device (actually, one for each mezzanine it takes hold of).
-
-The char device is created as a misc device. Its name in /dev (as
-created by udev) is the same name as the underlying FMC device. Thus,
-the name can be a silly fmc-0000 look-alike if the device has no
-identifiers nor bus_id, a more specific fmc-0400 if the device has a
-bus-specific address but no associated name, or something like
-fdelay-0400 if the FMC core can rely on both a mezzanine name and a bus
-address.
-
-Currently the driver only supports read and write: you can lseek to the
-desired address and read or write a register.
-
-The driver assumes all registers are 32-bit in size, and only accepts a
-single read or write per system call. However, as a result of Unix read
-and write semantics, users can simply fread or fwrite bigger areas in
-order to dump or store bigger memory areas.
-
-There is currently no support for mmap, user-space interrupt management
-and DMA buffers. They may be added in later versions, if the need
-arises.
-
-The example below shows raw access to a SPEC card programmed with its
-golden FPGA file, that features an SDB structure at offset 256 - i.e.
-64 words. The mezzanine's EEPROM in this case is not programmed, so the
-default name is fmc-<bus><devfn>, and there are two cards in the system:

-
-The simple program tools/fmc-mem in this package can access an FMC char
-device and read or write a word or a whole area. Actually, the program
-is not specific to FMC at all, it just uses lseek, read and write.
-
-Its first argument is the device name, the second the offset, the third
-(if any) the value to write and the optional last argument that must
-begin with "+" is the number of bytes to read or write. In case of

-fmc-fakedev
-===========
-
-This package includes a software-only device, called fmc-fakedev, which
-is able to register up to 4 mezzanines (by default it registers one).
-Unlike the SPEC driver, which creates an FMC device for each PCI cards
-it manages, this module creates a single instance of its set of
-mezzanines.
-
-It is meant as the simplest possible example of how a driver should be
-written, and it includes a fake EEPROM image (built using the tools
-described in *note FMC Identification::),, which by default is
-replicated for each fake mezzanine.
-
-You can also use this device to verify the match algorithms, by asking
-it to test your own EEPROM image. You can provide the image by means of
-the eeprom= module parameter: the new EEPROM image is loaded, as usual,
-by means of the firmware loader. This example shows the defaults and a
-custom EEPROM image:

- spusa.root# rmmod fmc-fakedev
-
-After loading the device, you can use the write_ee method do modify its
-own internal fake EEPROM: whenever the image is overwritten starting at
-offset 0, the module will unregister and register again the FMC device.
-This is shown in fmc-write-eeprom.txt

-fmc-trivial
-===========
-
-The simple module fmc-trivial is just a simple client that registers an
-interrupt handler. I used it to verify the basic mechanism of the FMC
-bus and how interrupts worked.
-
-The module implements the generic FMC parameters, so it can program a
-different gateware file in each card. The whole list of parameters it
-accepts are:
-
-`busid='
-`gateware='
- Generic parameters. See mezzanine.txt
-
-
-This driver is worth reading, in my opinion.

-fmc-write-eeprom
-================
-
-This module is designed to load a binary file from /lib/firmware and to
-write it to the internal EEPROM of the mezzanine card. This driver uses
-the `busid' generic parameter.
-
-Overwriting the EEPROM is not something you should do daily, and it is
-expected to only happen during manufacturing. For this reason, the
-module makes it unlikely for the random user to change a working EEPROM.
-
-However, since the EEPROM may include application-specific information
-other than the identification, later versions of this packages added
-write-support through sysfs. See *note Accessing the EEPROM::.
-
-To avoid damaging the EEPROM content, the module takes the following
-measures:
-
- * It accepts a `file=' argument (within /lib/firmware) and if no
- such argument is received, it doesn't write anything to EEPROM
- (i.e. there is no default file name).
-
- * If the file name ends with `.bin' it is written verbatim starting
- at offset 0.
-
- * If the file name ends with `.tlv' it is interpreted as
- type-length-value (i.e., it allows writev(2)-like operation).
-
- * If the file name doesn't match any of the patterns above, it is
- ignored and no write is performed.
-
- * Only cards listed with `busid=' are written to. If no busid is
- specified, no programming is done (and the probe function of the
- driver will fail).
-
-
-Each TLV tuple is formatted in this way: the header is 5 bytes,
-followed by data. The first byte is `w' for write, the next two bytes
-represent the address, in little-endian byte order, and the next two
-represent the data length, in little-endian order. The length does not
-include the header (it is the actual number of bytes to be written).
-
-This is a real example: that writes 5 bytes at position 0x110:
-
- spusa.root# od -t x1 -Ax /lib/firmware/try.tlv
- 000000 77 10 01 05 00 30 31 32 33 34
- 00000a
- spusa.root# insmod /tmp/fmc-write-eeprom.ko busid=0x0200 file=try.tlv
- [19983.391498] spec 0000:03:00.0: write 5 bytes at 0x0110
- [19983.414615] spec 0000:03:00.0: write_eeprom: success
-
-Please note that you'll most likely want to use SDBFS to build your
-EEPROM image, at least if your mezzanines are being used in the White
-Rabbit environment. For this reason the TLV format is not expected to
-be used much and is not expected to be developed further.
-
-If you want to try reflashing fake EEPROM devices, you can use the
-fmc-fakedev.ko module (see *note fmc-fakedev::). Whenever you change
-the image starting at offset 0, it will deregister and register again
-after two seconds. Please note, however, that if fmc-write-eeprom is
-still loaded, the system will associate it to the new device, which
-will be reprogrammed and thus will be unloaded after two seconds. The
-following example removes the module after it reflashed fakedev the
-first time.

-Accessing the EEPROM
-=====================
-
-The bus creates a sysfs binary file called eeprom for each mezzanine it
-knows about:
-
- spusa.root# cd /sys/bus/fmc/devices; ls -l */eeprom
- -r--r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Feb 21 12:30 FmcAdc100m14b4cha-0800/eeprom
- -r--r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Feb 21 12:30 FmcDelay1ns4cha-0200/eeprom
- -r--r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Feb 21 12:30 FmcDio5cha-0400/eeprom
-
-Everybody can read the files and the superuser can also modify it, but
-the operation may on the carrier driver, if the carrier is unable to
-access the I2C bus. For example, the spec driver can access the bus
-only with its golden gateware: after a mezzanine driver reprogrammed
-the FPGA with a custom circuit, the carrier is unable to access the
-EEPROM and returns ENOTSUPP.
-
-An alternative way to write the EEPROM is the mezzanine driver
-fmc-write-eeprom (See *note fmc-write-eeprom::), but the procedure is
-more complex.

-FMC Identification
-******************
-
-The FMC standard requires every compliant mezzanine to carry
-identification information in an I2C EEPROM. The information must be
-laid out according to the "IPMI Platform Management FRU Information",
-where IPMI is a lie I'd better not expand, and FRU means "Field
-Replaceable Unit".
-
-The FRU information is an intricate unreadable binary blob that must
-live at offset 0 of the EEPROM, and typically extends for a few hundred
-bytes. The standard allows the application to use all the remaining
-storage area of the EEPROM as it wants.
-
-This chapter explains how to create your own EEPROM image and how to
-write it in your mezzanine, as well as how devices and drivers are
-paired at run time. EEPROM programming uses tools that are part of this
-package and SDB (part of the fpga-config-space package).
-
-The first sections are only interesting for manufacturers who need to
-write the EEPROM. If you are just a software developer writing an FMC
-device or driver, you may jump straight to *note SDB Support::.
-
-
-Building the FRU Structure
-==========================
-
-If you want to know the internals of the FRU structure and despair, you
-can retrieve the document from
-`http://download.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/FRU1011.pdf' . The
-standard is awful and difficult without reason, so we only support the
-minimum mandatory subset - we create a simple structure and parse it
-back at run time, but we are not able to either generate or parse more
-arcane features like non-english languages and 6-bit text. If you need
-more items of the FRU standard for your boards, please submit patches.
-
-This package includes the Python script that Matthieu Cattin wrote to
-generate the FRU binary blob, based on an helper libipmi by Manohar
-Vanga and Matthieu himself. I changed the test script to receive
-parameters from the command line or from the environment (the command
-line takes precedence)
-
-To make a long story short, in order to build a standard-compliant
-binary file to be burned in your EEPROM, you need the following items:
-
- Environment Opt Official Name Default
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- FRU_VENDOR -v "Board Manufacturer" fmc-example
- FRU_NAME -n "Board Product Name" mezzanine
- FRU_SERIAL -s `Board Serial Number" 0001
- FRU_PART -p "Board Part Number" sample-part
- FRU_OUTPUT -o not applicable /dev/stdout
-
-The "Official Name" above is what you find in the FRU official
-documentation, chapter 11, page 7 ("Board Info Area Format"). The
-output option is used to save the generated binary to a specific file
-name instead of stdout.
-
-You can pass the items to the FRU generator either in the environment
-or on the command line. This package has currently no support for
-specifying power consumption or such stuff, but I plan to add it as
-soon as I find some time for that.
-
-FIXME: consumption etc for FRU are here or in PTS?
-
-The following example creates a binary image for a specific board:
-
- ./tools/fru-generator -v CERN -n FmcAdc100m14b4cha \
- -s HCCFFIA___-CR000003 -p EDA-02063-V5-0 > eeprom.bin
-
-The following example shows a script that builds several binary EEPROM
-images for a series of boards, changing the serial number for each of
-them. The script uses a mix of environment variables and command line
-options, and uses the same string patterns shown above.
-
- #!/bin/sh
-
- export FRU_VENDOR="CERN"
- export FRU_NAME="FmcAdc100m14b4cha"
- export FRU_PART="EDA-02063-V5-0"
-
- serial="HCCFFIA___-CR"
-
- for number in $(seq 1 50); do
- # build number-string "ns"
- ns="$(printf %06d $number)"
- ./fru-generator -s "${serial}${ns}" > eeprom-${ns}.bin
- done
-
-
-Using SDB-FS in the EEPROM
-==========================
-
-If you want to use SDB as a filesystem in the EEPROM device within the
-mezzanine, you should create one such filesystem using gensdbfs, from
-the fpga-config-space package on OHWR.
-
-By using an SBD filesystem you can cluster several files in a single
-EEPROM, so both the host system and a soft-core running in the FPGA (if
-any) can access extra production-time information.
-
-We chose to use SDB as a storage filesystem because the format is very
-simple, and both the host system and the soft-core will likely already
-include support code for such format. The SDB library offered by the
-fpga-config-space is less than 1kB under LM32, so it proves quite up to
-the task.
-
-The SDB entry point (which acts as a directory listing) cannot live at
-offset zero in the flash device, because the FRU information must live
-there. To avoid wasting precious storage space while still allowing
-for more-than-minimal FRU structures, the fmc.ko will look for the SDB
-record at address 256, 512 and 1024.
-
-In order to generate the complete EEPROM image you'll need a
-configuration file for gensdbfs: you tell the program where to place
-the sdb entry point, and you must force the FRU data file to be placed
-at the beginning of the storage device. If needed, you can also place
-other files at a special offset (we sometimes do it for backward
-compatibility with drivers we wrote before implementing SDB for flash
-memory).
-
-The directory tools/sdbfs of this package includes a well-commented
-example that you may want to use as a starting point (the comments are
-in the file called -SDB-CONFIG-). Reading documentation for gensdbfs
-is a suggested first step anyways.
-
-This package (generic FMC bus support) only accesses two files in the
-EEPROM: the FRU information, at offset zero, with a suggested filename
-of IPMI-FRU and the short name for the mezzanine, in a file called
-name. The IPMI-FRU name is not mandatory, but a strongly suggested
-choice; the name filename is mandatory, because this is the preferred
-short name used by the FMC core. For example, a name of "fdelay" may
-supplement a Product Name like "FmcDelay1ns4cha" - exactly as
-demonstrated in `tools/sdbfs'.
-
-Note: SDB access to flash memory is not yet supported, so the short
-name currently in use is just the "Product Name" FRU string.
-
-The example in tools/sdbfs includes an extra file, that is needed by
-the fine-delay driver, and must live at a known address of 0x1800. By
-running gensdbfs on that directory you can output your binary EEPROM
-image (here below spusa$ is the shell prompt):
-
- spusa$ ../fru-generator -v CERN -n FmcDelay1ns4cha -s proto-0 \

-FMC Driver
-**********
-
-An FMC driver is concerned with the specific mezzanine and associated
-gateware. As such, it is expected to be independent of the carrier
-being used: it will perform I/O accesses only by means of
-carrier-provided functions.
-
-The matching between device and driver is based on the content of the
-EEPROM (as mandated by the FMC standard) or by the actual cores
-configured in the FPGA; the latter technique is used when the FPGA is
-already programmed when the device is registered to the bus core.
-
-In some special cases it is possible for a driver to directly access
-FPGA registers, by means of the `fpga_base' field of the device
-structure. This may be needed for high-bandwidth peripherals like fast
-ADC cards. If the device module registered a remote device (for example
-by means of Etherbone), the `fpga_base' pointer will be NULL.
-Therefore, drivers must be ready to deal with NULL base pointers, and
-fail gracefully. Most driver, however, are not expected to access the
-pointer directly but run fmc_readl and fmc_writel instead, which will
-work in any case.
-
-In even more special cases, the driver may access carrier-specific
-functionality: the `carrier_name' string allows the driver to check
-which is the current carrier and make use of the `carrier_data'
-pointer. We chose to use carrier names rather than numeric identifiers
-for greater flexibility, but also to avoid a central registry within
-the `fmc.h' file - we hope other users will exploit our framework with
-their own carriers. An example use of carrier names is in GPIO setup
-(see *note The GPIO Abstraction::), although the name match is not
-expected to be performed by the driver. If you depend on specific
-carriers, please check the carrier name and fail gracefully if your
-driver finds it is running in a yet-unknown-to-it environment.
-
-
-ID Table
-========
-
-Like most other Linux drivers, and FMC driver must list all the devices
-which it is able to drive. This is usually done by means of a device
-table, but in FMC we can match hardware based either on the contents of
-their EEPROM or on the actual FPGA cores that can be enumerated.
-Therefore, we have two tables of identifiers.
-
-Matching of FRU information depends on two names, the manufacturer (or
-vendor) and the device (see *note FMC Identification::); for
-flexibility during production (i.e. before writing to the EEPROM) the
-bus supports a catch-all driver that specifies NULL strings. For this
-reason, the table is specified as pointer-and-length, not a a
-null-terminated array - the entry with NULL names can be a valid entry.
-
-Matching on FPGA cores depends on two numeric fields: the 64-bit vendor
-number and the 32-bit device number. Support for matching based on
-class is not yet implemented. Each device is expected to be uniquely
-identified by an array of cores (it matches if all of the cores are
-instantiated), and for consistency the list is passed as
-pointer-and-length. Several similar devices can be driven by the same
-driver, and thus the driver specifies and array of such arrays.
-
-The complete set of involved data structures is thus the following:
-
- struct fmc_fru_id { char *manufacturer; char *product_name; };
- struct fmc_sdb_one_id { uint64_t vendor; uint32_t device; };
- struct fmc_sdb_id { struct fmc_sdb_one_id *cores; int cores_nr; };
-
- struct fmc_device_id {
- struct fmc_fru_id *fru_id; int fru_id_nr;
- struct fmc_sdb_id *sdb_id; int sdb_id_nr;
- };
-
-A better reference, with full explanation, is the <linux/fmc.h> header.
-
-
-Module Parameters
-=================
-
-Most of the FMC drivers need the same set of kernel parameters. This
-package includes support to implement common parameters by means of
-fields in the `fmc_driver' structure and simple macro definitions.
-
-The parameters are carrier-specific, in that they rely on the busid
-concept, that varies among carriers. For the SPEC, the identifier is a
-PCI bus and devfn number, 16 bits wide in total; drivers for other
-carriers will most likely offer something similar but not identical,
-and some code duplication is unavoidable.
-
-This is the list of parameters that are common to several modules to
-see how they are actually used, please look at spec-trivial.c.
-
-`busid='
- This is an array of integers, listing carrier-specific
- identification numbers. For PIC, for example, `0x0400' represents
- bus 4, slot 0. If any such ID is specified, the driver will only
- accept to drive cards that appear in the list (even if the FMC ID
- matches). This is accomplished by the validate carrier method.
-
-`gateware='
- The argument is an array of strings. If no busid= is specified,
- the first string of gateware= is used for all cards; otherwise the
- identifiers and gateware names are paired one by one, in the order
- specified.
-
-`show_sdb='
- For modules supporting it, this parameter asks to show the SDB
- internal structure by means of kernel messages. It is disabled by
- default because those lines tend to hide more important messages,
- if you look at the system console while loading the drivers.
- Note: the parameter is being obsoleted, because fmc.ko itself now
- supports dump_sdb= that applies to every client driver.
-
-
-For example, if you are using the trivial driver to load two different
-gateware files to two different cards, you can use the following
-parameters to load different binaries to the cards, after looking up
-the PCI identifiers. This has been tested with a SPEC carrier.
-
- insmod fmc-trivial.ko \
- busid=0x0200,0x0400 \
- gateware=fmc/fine-delay.bin,fmc/simple-dio.bin
-
-Please note that not all sub-modules support all of those parameters.
-You can use modinfo to check what is supported by each module.

-Module Parameters in fmc.ko
-***************************
-
-The core driver receives two module parameters, meant to help debugging
-client modules. Both parameters can be modified by writing to
-/sys/module/fmc/parameters/, because they are used when client drivers
-are devices are registered, not when fmc.ko is loaded.
-
-`dump_eeprom='
- If not zero, the parameter asks the bus controller to dump the
- EEPROM of any device that is registered, using printk.
-
-`dump_sdb='
- If not zero, the parameter prints the SDB tree of every FPGA it is
- loaded by fmc_reprogram(). If greater than one, it asks to dump
- the binary content of SDB records. This currently only dumps the
- top-level SDB array, though.
-
-
-EEPROM dumping avoids repeating lines, since most of the contents is
-usually empty and all bits are one or zero. This is an example of the

+Intel Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH)
+=================================
+
+A sensor hub enables the ability to offload sensor polling and algorithm
+processing to a dedicated low power co-processor. This allows the core
+processor to go into low power modes more often, resulting in the increased
+battery life.
+
+There are many vendors providing external sensor hubs confirming to HID
+Sensor usage tables, and used in several tablets, 2 in 1 convertible laptops
+and embedded products. Linux had this support since Linux 3.9.
+
+Intel® introduced integrated sensor hubs as a part of the SoC starting from
+Cherry Trail and now supported on multiple generations of CPU packages. There
+are many commercial devices already shipped with Integrated Sensor Hubs (ISH).
+These ISH also comply to HID sensor specification, but the difference is the
+transport protocol used for communication. The current external sensor hubs
+mainly use HID over i2C or USB. But ISH doesn't use either i2c or USB.
+
+1. Overview
+===========
+
+Using a analogy with a usbhid implementation, the ISH follows a similar model
+for a very high speed communication::
+
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ | USB HID | --> | ISH HID |
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ | USB protocol | --> | ISH Transport |
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ | EHCI/XHCI | --> | ISH IPC |
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ PCI PCI
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ |Host controller| --> | ISH processor |
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ USB Link
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ | USB End points| --> | ISH Clients |
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+
+Like USB protocol provides a method for device enumeration, link management
+and user data encapsulation, the ISH also provides similar services. But it is
+very light weight tailored to manage and communicate with ISH client
+applications implemented in the firmware.
+
+The ISH allows multiple sensor management applications executing in the
+firmware. Like USB endpoints the messaging can be to/from a client. As part of
+enumeration process, these clients are identified. These clients can be simple
+HID sensor applications, sensor calibration application or senor firmware
+update application.
+
+The implementation model is similar, like USB bus, ISH transport is also
+implemented as a bus. Each client application executing in the ISH processor
+is registered as a device on this bus. The driver, which binds each device
+(ISH HID driver) identifies the device type and registers with the hid core.

+
+3. High level processing in above blocks
+========================================
+
+3.1 Hardware Interface
+----------------------
+
+The ISH is exposed as "Non-VGA unclassified PCI device" to the host. The PCI
+product and vendor IDs are changed from different generations of processors. So
+the source code which enumerate drivers needs to update from generation to
+generation.
+
+3.2 Inter Processor Communication (IPC) driver
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ipc
+
+The IPC message used memory mapped I/O. The registers are defined in
+hw-ish-regs.h.
+
+3.2.1 IPC/FW message types
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+There are two types of messages, one for management of link and other messages
+are to and from transport layers.
+
+TX and RX of Transport messages
+...............................
+
+A set of memory mapped register offers support of multi byte messages TX and
+RX (E.g.IPC_REG_ISH2HOST_MSG, IPC_REG_HOST2ISH_MSG). The IPC layer maintains
+internal queues to sequence messages and send them in order to the FW.
+Optionally the caller can register handler to get notification of completion.
+A door bell mechanism is used in messaging to trigger processing in host and
+client firmware side. When ISH interrupt handler is called, the ISH2HOST
+doorbell register is used by host drivers to determine that the interrupt
+is for ISH.
+
+Each side has 32 32-bit message registers and a 32-bit doorbell. Doorbell
+register has the following format:
+Bits 0..6: fragment length (7 bits are used)
+Bits 10..13: encapsulated protocol
+Bits 16..19: management command (for IPC management protocol)
+Bit 31: doorbell trigger (signal H/W interrupt to the other side)
+Other bits are reserved, should be 0.
+
+3.2.2 Transport layer interface
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To abstract HW level IPC communication, a set of callbacks are registered.
+The transport layer uses them to send and receive messages.
+Refer to struct ishtp_hw_ops for callbacks.
+
+3.3 ISH Transport layer
+-----------------------
+
+Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/
+
+3.3.1 A Generic Transport Layer
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The transport layer is a bi-directional protocol, which defines:
+- Set of commands to start, stop, connect, disconnect and flow control
+(ishtp/hbm.h) for details
+- A flow control mechanism to avoid buffer overflows
+
+This protocol resembles bus messages described in the following document:
+http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/technical-\
+specifications/dcmi-hi-1-0-spec.pdf "Chapter 7: Bus Message Layer"
+
+3.3.2 Connection and Flow Control Mechanism
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Each FW client and a protocol is identified by an UUID. In order to communicate
+to a FW client, a connection must be established using connect request and
+response bus messages. If successful, a pair (host_client_id and fw_client_id)
+will identify the connection.
+
+Once connection is established, peers send each other flow control bus messages
+independently. Every peer may send a message only if it has received a
+flow-control credit before. Once it sent a message, it may not send another one
+before receiving the next flow control credit.
+Either side can send disconnect request bus message to end communication. Also
+the link will be dropped if major FW reset occurs.
+
+3.3.3 Peer to Peer data transfer
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Peer to Peer data transfer can happen with or without using DMA. Depending on
+the sensor bandwidth requirement DMA can be enabled by using module parameter
+ishtp_use_dma under intel_ishtp.
+
+Each side (host and FW) manages its DMA transfer memory independently. When an
+ISHTP client from either host or FW side wants to send something, it decides
+whether to send over IPC or over DMA; for each transfer the decision is
+independent. The sending side sends DMA_XFER message when the message is in
+the respective host buffer (TX when host client sends, RX when FW client
+sends). The recipient of DMA message responds with DMA_XFER_ACK, indicating
+the sender that the memory region for that message may be reused.
+
+DMA initialization is started with host sending DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY bus message
+(that includes RX buffer) and FW responds with DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY_ACK.
+Additionally to DMA address communication, this sequence checks capabilities:
+if thw host doesn't support DMA, then it won't send DMA allocation, so FW can't
+send DMA; if FW doesn't support DMA then it won't respond with
+DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY_ACK, in which case host will not use DMA transfers.
+Here ISH acts as busmaster DMA controller. Hence when host sends DMA_XFER,
+it's request to do host->ISH DMA transfer; when FW sends DMA_XFER, it means
+that it already did DMA and the message resides at host. Thus, DMA_XFER
+and DMA_XFER_ACK act as ownership indicators.
+
+At initial state all outgoing memory belongs to the sender (TX to host, RX to
+FW), DMA_XFER transfers ownership on the region that contains ISHTP message to
+the receiving side, DMA_XFER_ACK returns ownership to the sender. A sender
+needs not wait for previous DMA_XFER to be ack'ed, and may send another message
+as long as remaining continuous memory in its ownership is enough.
+In principle, multiple DMA_XFER and DMA_XFER_ACK messages may be sent at once
+(up to IPC MTU), thus allowing for interrupt throttling.
+Currently, ISH FW decides to send over DMA if ISHTP message is more than 3 IPC
+fragments and via IPC otherwise.
+
+3.3.4 Ring Buffers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When a client initiate a connection, a ring or RX and TX buffers are allocated.
+The size of ring can be specified by the client. HID client set 16 and 32 for
+TX and RX buffers respectively. On send request from client, the data to be
+sent is copied to one of the send ring buffer and scheduled to be sent using
+bus message protocol. These buffers are required because the FW may have not
+have processed the last message and may not have enough flow control credits
+to send. Same thing holds true on receive side and flow control is required.
+
+3.3.5 Host Enumeration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The host enumeration bus command allow discovery of clients present in the FW.
+There can be multiple sensor clients and clients for calibration function.
+
+To ease in implantation and allow independent driver handle each client
+this transport layer takes advantage of Linux Bus driver model. Each
+client is registered as device on the the transport bus (ishtp bus).
+
+Enumeration sequence of messages:
+
+- Host sends HOST_START_REQ_CMD, indicating that host ISHTP layer is up.
+- FW responds with HOST_START_RES_CMD
+- Host sends HOST_ENUM_REQ_CMD (enumerate FW clients)
+- FW responds with HOST_ENUM_RES_CMD that includes bitmap of available FW
+ client IDs
+- For each FW ID found in that bitmap host sends
+ HOST_CLIENT_PROPERTIES_REQ_CMD
+- FW responds with HOST_CLIENT_PROPERTIES_RES_CMD. Properties include UUID,
+ max ISHTP message size, etc.
+- Once host received properties for that last discovered client, it considers
+ ISHTP device fully functional (and allocates DMA buffers)
+
+3.4 HID over ISH Client
+-----------------------
+
+Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid
+
+The ISHTP client driver is responsible for:
+
+- enumerate HID devices under FW ISH client
+- Get Report descriptor
+- Register with HID core as a LL driver
+- Process Get/Set feature request
+- Get input reports
+
+3.5 HID Sensor Hub MFD and IIO sensor drivers
+---------------------------------------------
+
+The functionality in these drivers is the same as an external sensor hub.
+Refer to
+Documentation/hid/hid-sensor.rst for HID sensor
+Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio for IIO ABIs to user space

-Intel Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH)
-===============================
-
-A sensor hub enables the ability to offload sensor polling and algorithm
-processing to a dedicated low power co-processor. This allows the core
-processor to go into low power modes more often, resulting in the increased
-battery life.
-
-There are many vendors providing external sensor hubs confirming to HID
-Sensor usage tables, and used in several tablets, 2 in 1 convertible laptops
-and embedded products. Linux had this support since Linux 3.9.
-
-Intel® introduced integrated sensor hubs as a part of the SoC starting from
-Cherry Trail and now supported on multiple generations of CPU packages. There
-are many commercial devices already shipped with Integrated Sensor Hubs (ISH).
-These ISH also comply to HID sensor specification, but the difference is the
-transport protocol used for communication. The current external sensor hubs
-mainly use HID over i2C or USB. But ISH doesn't use either i2c or USB.
-
-1. Overview
-
-Using a analogy with a usbhid implementation, the ISH follows a similar model
-for a very high speed communication:
-
- ----------------- ----------------------
- | USB HID | --> | ISH HID |
- ----------------- ----------------------
- ----------------- ----------------------
- | USB protocol | --> | ISH Transport |
- ----------------- ----------------------
- ----------------- ----------------------
- | EHCI/XHCI | --> | ISH IPC |
- ----------------- ----------------------
- PCI PCI
- ----------------- ----------------------
- |Host controller| --> | ISH processor |
- ----------------- ----------------------
- USB Link
- ----------------- ----------------------
- | USB End points| --> | ISH Clients |
- ----------------- ----------------------
-
-Like USB protocol provides a method for device enumeration, link management
-and user data encapsulation, the ISH also provides similar services. But it is
-very light weight tailored to manage and communicate with ISH client
-applications implemented in the firmware.
-
-The ISH allows multiple sensor management applications executing in the
-firmware. Like USB endpoints the messaging can be to/from a client. As part of
-enumeration process, these clients are identified. These clients can be simple
-HID sensor applications, sensor calibration application or senor firmware
-update application.
-
-The implementation model is similar, like USB bus, ISH transport is also
-implemented as a bus. Each client application executing in the ISH processor
-is registered as a device on this bus. The driver, which binds each device
-(ISH HID driver) identifies the device type and registers with the hid core.

-
-3. High level processing in above blocks
-
-3.1 Hardware Interface
-
-The ISH is exposed as "Non-VGA unclassified PCI device" to the host. The PCI
-product and vendor IDs are changed from different generations of processors. So
-the source code which enumerate drivers needs to update from generation to
-generation.
-
-3.2 Inter Processor Communication (IPC) driver
-Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ipc
-
-The IPC message used memory mapped I/O. The registers are defined in
-hw-ish-regs.h.
-
-3.2.1 IPC/FW message types
-
-There are two types of messages, one for management of link and other messages
-are to and from transport layers.
-
-TX and RX of Transport messages
-
-A set of memory mapped register offers support of multi byte messages TX and
-RX (E.g.IPC_REG_ISH2HOST_MSG, IPC_REG_HOST2ISH_MSG). The IPC layer maintains
-internal queues to sequence messages and send them in order to the FW.
-Optionally the caller can register handler to get notification of completion.
-A door bell mechanism is used in messaging to trigger processing in host and
-client firmware side. When ISH interrupt handler is called, the ISH2HOST
-doorbell register is used by host drivers to determine that the interrupt
-is for ISH.
-
-Each side has 32 32-bit message registers and a 32-bit doorbell. Doorbell
-register has the following format:
-Bits 0..6: fragment length (7 bits are used)
-Bits 10..13: encapsulated protocol
-Bits 16..19: management command (for IPC management protocol)
-Bit 31: doorbell trigger (signal H/W interrupt to the other side)
-Other bits are reserved, should be 0.
-
-3.2.2 Transport layer interface
-
-To abstract HW level IPC communication, a set of callbacks are registered.
-The transport layer uses them to send and receive messages.
-Refer to struct ishtp_hw_ops for callbacks.
-
-3.3 ISH Transport layer
-Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/
-
-3.3.1 A Generic Transport Layer
-
-The transport layer is a bi-directional protocol, which defines:
-- Set of commands to start, stop, connect, disconnect and flow control
-(ishtp/hbm.h) for details
-- A flow control mechanism to avoid buffer overflows
-
-This protocol resembles bus messages described in the following document:
-http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/technical-\
-specifications/dcmi-hi-1-0-spec.pdf "Chapter 7: Bus Message Layer"
-
-3.3.2 Connection and Flow Control Mechanism
-
-Each FW client and a protocol is identified by an UUID. In order to communicate
-to a FW client, a connection must be established using connect request and
-response bus messages. If successful, a pair (host_client_id and fw_client_id)
-will identify the connection.
-
-Once connection is established, peers send each other flow control bus messages
-independently. Every peer may send a message only if it has received a
-flow-control credit before. Once it sent a message, it may not send another one
-before receiving the next flow control credit.
-Either side can send disconnect request bus message to end communication. Also
-the link will be dropped if major FW reset occurs.
-
-3.3.3 Peer to Peer data transfer
-
-Peer to Peer data transfer can happen with or without using DMA. Depending on
-the sensor bandwidth requirement DMA can be enabled by using module parameter
-ishtp_use_dma under intel_ishtp.
-
-Each side (host and FW) manages its DMA transfer memory independently. When an
-ISHTP client from either host or FW side wants to send something, it decides
-whether to send over IPC or over DMA; for each transfer the decision is
-independent. The sending side sends DMA_XFER message when the message is in
-the respective host buffer (TX when host client sends, RX when FW client
-sends). The recipient of DMA message responds with DMA_XFER_ACK, indicating
-the sender that the memory region for that message may be reused.
-
-DMA initialization is started with host sending DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY bus message
-(that includes RX buffer) and FW responds with DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY_ACK.
-Additionally to DMA address communication, this sequence checks capabilities:
-if thw host doesn't support DMA, then it won't send DMA allocation, so FW can't
-send DMA; if FW doesn't support DMA then it won't respond with
-DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY_ACK, in which case host will not use DMA transfers.
-Here ISH acts as busmaster DMA controller. Hence when host sends DMA_XFER,
-it's request to do host->ISH DMA transfer; when FW sends DMA_XFER, it means
-that it already did DMA and the message resides at host. Thus, DMA_XFER
-and DMA_XFER_ACK act as ownership indicators.
-
-At initial state all outgoing memory belongs to the sender (TX to host, RX to
-FW), DMA_XFER transfers ownership on the region that contains ISHTP message to
-the receiving side, DMA_XFER_ACK returns ownership to the sender. A sender
-needs not wait for previous DMA_XFER to be ack'ed, and may send another message
-as long as remaining continuous memory in its ownership is enough.
-In principle, multiple DMA_XFER and DMA_XFER_ACK messages may be sent at once
-(up to IPC MTU), thus allowing for interrupt throttling.
-Currently, ISH FW decides to send over DMA if ISHTP message is more than 3 IPC
-fragments and via IPC otherwise.
-
-3.3.4 Ring Buffers
-
-When a client initiate a connection, a ring or RX and TX buffers are allocated.
-The size of ring can be specified by the client. HID client set 16 and 32 for
-TX and RX buffers respectively. On send request from client, the data to be
-sent is copied to one of the send ring buffer and scheduled to be sent using
-bus message protocol. These buffers are required because the FW may have not
-have processed the last message and may not have enough flow control credits
-to send. Same thing holds true on receive side and flow control is required.
-
-3.3.5 Host Enumeration
-
-The host enumeration bus command allow discovery of clients present in the FW.
-There can be multiple sensor clients and clients for calibration function.
-
-To ease in implantation and allow independent driver handle each client
-this transport layer takes advantage of Linux Bus driver model. Each
-client is registered as device on the the transport bus (ishtp bus).
-
-Enumeration sequence of messages:
-- Host sends HOST_START_REQ_CMD, indicating that host ISHTP layer is up.
-- FW responds with HOST_START_RES_CMD
-- Host sends HOST_ENUM_REQ_CMD (enumerate FW clients)
-- FW responds with HOST_ENUM_RES_CMD that includes bitmap of available FW
-client IDs
-- For each FW ID found in that bitmap host sends
-HOST_CLIENT_PROPERTIES_REQ_CMD
-- FW responds with HOST_CLIENT_PROPERTIES_RES_CMD. Properties include UUID,
-max ISHTP message size, etc.
-- Once host received properties for that last discovered client, it considers
-ISHTP device fully functional (and allocates DMA buffers)
-
-3.4 HID over ISH Client
-Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid
-
-The ISHTP client driver is responsible for:
-- enumerate HID devices under FW ISH client
-- Get Report descriptor
-- Register with HID core as a LL driver
-- Process Get/Set feature request
-- Get input reports
-
-3.5 HID Sensor Hub MFD and IIO sensor drivers
-
-The functionality in these drivers is the same as an external sensor hub.
-Refer to
-Documentation/hid/hid-sensor.txt for HID sensor
-Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio for IIO ABIs to user space

------------------

-Description
------------
-
-This driver supports the hardware monitoring features of the first and
-second revision of the Abit uGuru chip found on Abit uGuru featuring
-motherboards (most modern Abit motherboards).
-
-The first and second revision of the uGuru chip in reality is a Winbond
-W83L950D in disguise (despite Abit claiming it is "a new microprocessor
-designed by the ABIT Engineers"). Unfortunately this doesn't help since the
-W83L950D is a generic microcontroller with a custom Abit application running
-on it.
-
-Despite Abit not releasing any information regarding the uGuru, Olle
-Sandberg <ollebull@gmail.com> has managed to reverse engineer the sensor part
-of the uGuru. Without his work this driver would not have been possible.
-
-Known Issues
-------------
-
-The voltage and frequency control parts of the Abit uGuru are not supported.

+The first and second revision of the uGuru chip in reality is a Winbond
+W83L950D in disguise (despite Abit claiming it is "a new microprocessor
+designed by the ABIT Engineers"). Unfortunately this doesn't help since the
+W83L950D is a generic microcontroller with a custom Abit application running
+on it.
+
+Despite Abit not releasing any information regarding the uGuru, Olle
+Sandberg <ollebull@gmail.com> has managed to reverse engineer the sensor part
+of the uGuru. Without his work this driver would not have been possible.

+Known Issues

configured and assigned to a zone for its control value. Each PWM can be
configured individually according to the following options.

+Description
+-----------
+
+Lochnagar 2 features built-in Current Monitor circuitry that allows for the
+measurement of both voltage and current on up to eight of the supply voltage
+rails provided to the minicards. The Current Monitor does not require any
+hardware modifications or external circuitry to operate.
+
+The current and voltage measurements are obtained through the standard register
+map interface to the Lochnagar board controller, and can therefore be monitored
+by software.

-They do also have fan monitoring and control capabilities, but the

-
-Voltages and temperatures are measured by an 8-bit ADC, the resolution
-of the temperatures is 1 bit per degree C.
-Voltages are scaled such that the nominal voltage corresponds to
-192 counts, i.e. 3/4 of the full range. Thus the available range for
-each voltage channel is 0V ... 255/192*(nominal voltage), the resolution
-is 1 bit per (nominal voltage)/192.
-Both voltage and temperature values are scaled by 1000, the sys files
-show voltages in mV and temperatures in units of 0.001 degC.
-
-The +12V analog voltage input channel (in4_input) is multiplexed with
-bit 4 of the encoded CPU voltage. This means that you either get
-a +12V voltage measurement or a 5 bit CPU VID, but not both.
-The default setting is to use the pin as 12V input, and use only 4 bit VID.
-This driver assumes that the information in the configuration register

Temp3-temp7 support NTC thermistors. For these channels, the driver returns
the voltages as seen at the individual pins of UCH1-UCH5. The voltage at the
pin (Vpin) is formed by a voltage divider made of the thermistor (Rth) and a
-scaling resistor (Rs):

-Vpin = 2200 * Rth / (Rs + Rth) (2200 is the ADC max limit of 2200 mV)

-
-
-Description
------------
-
-This driver implements support for Winbond W83793G/W83793R chips.
-
-* Exported features
- This driver exports 10 voltage sensors, up to 12 fan tachometer inputs,
- 6 remote temperatures, up to 8 sets of PWM fan controls, SmartFan
- (automatic fan speed control) on all temperature/PWM combinations, 2
- sets of 6-pin CPU VID input.
-
-* Sensor resolutions
- If your motherboard maker used the reference design, the resolution of
- voltage0-2 is 2mV, resolution of voltage3/4/5 is 16mV, 8mV for voltage6,
- 24mV for voltage7/8. Temp1-4 have a 0.25 degree Celsius resolution,
- temp5-6 have a 1 degree Celsiis resolution.
-
-* Temperature sensor types
- Temp1-4 have 2 possible types. It can be read from (and written to)
- temp[1-4]_type.
- - If the value is 3, it starts monitoring using a remote termal diode
- (default).
- - If the value is 6, it starts monitoring using the temperature sensor
- in Intel CPU and get result by PECI.
- Temp5-6 can be connected to external thermistors (value of
- temp[5-6]_type is 4).
-
-* Alarm mechanism
- For voltage sensors, an alarm triggers if the measured value is below
- the low voltage limit or over the high voltage limit.
- For temperature sensors, an alarm triggers if the measured value goes
- above the high temperature limit, and wears off only after the measured
- value drops below the hysteresis value.
- For fan sensors, an alarm triggers if the measured value is below the
- low speed limit.
-
-* SmartFan/PWM control
- If you want to set a pwm fan to manual mode, you just need to make sure it
- is not controlled by any temp channel, for example, you want to set fan1
- to manual mode, you need to check the value of temp[1-6]_fan_map, make
- sure bit 0 is cleared in the 6 values. And then set the pwm1 value to
- control the fan.
-
- Each temperature channel can control all the 8 PWM outputs (by setting the
- corresponding bit in tempX_fan_map), you can set the temperature channel
- mode using temp[1-6]_pwm_enable, 2 is Thermal Cruise mode and 3
- is the SmartFanII mode. Temperature channels will try to speed up or
- slow down all controlled fans, this means one fan can receive different
- PWM value requests from different temperature channels, but the chip
- will always pick the safest (max) PWM value for each fan.
-
- In Thermal Cruise mode, the chip attempts to keep the temperature at a
- predefined value, within a tolerance margin. So if tempX_input >
- thermal_cruiseX + toleranceX, the chip will increase the PWM value,
- if tempX_input < thermal_cruiseX - toleranceX, the chip will decrease
- the PWM value. If the temperature is within the tolerance range, the PWM
- value is left unchanged.
-
- SmartFanII works differently, you have to define up to 7 PWM, temperature
- trip points, defining a PWM/temperature curve which the chip will follow.
- While not fundamentally different from the Thermal Cruise mode, the
- implementation is quite different, giving you a finer-grained control.
-
-* Chassis
- If the case open alarm triggers, it will stay in this state unless cleared
- by writing 0 to the sysfs file "intrusion0_alarm".
-
-* VID and VRM
- The VRM version is detected automatically, don't modify the it unless you
- *do* know the cpu VRM version and it's not properly detected.
-
-
-Notes
------
-
- Only Fan1-5 and PWM1-3 are guaranteed to always exist, other fan inputs and
- PWM outputs may or may not exist depending on the chip pin configuration.

+ 24mV for voltage7/8. Temp1-4 have a 0.25 degree Celsius resolution,
+ temp5-6 have a 1 degree Celsiis resolution.
+
+* Temperature sensor types
+ Temp1-4 have 2 possible types. It can be read from (and written to)
+ temp[1-4]_type.
+
+ - If the value is 3, it starts monitoring using a remote termal diode
+ (default).
+ - If the value is 6, it starts monitoring using the temperature sensor
+ in Intel CPU and get result by PECI.
+
+ Temp5-6 can be connected to external thermistors (value of
+ temp[5-6]_type is 4).
+
+* Alarm mechanism
+ For voltage sensors, an alarm triggers if the measured value is below
+ the low voltage limit or over the high voltage limit.
+ For temperature sensors, an alarm triggers if the measured value goes
+ above the high temperature limit, and wears off only after the measured
+ value drops below the hysteresis value.
+ For fan sensors, an alarm triggers if the measured value is below the
+ low speed limit.
+
+* SmartFan/PWM control
+ If you want to set a pwm fan to manual mode, you just need to make sure it
+ is not controlled by any temp channel, for example, you want to set fan1
+ to manual mode, you need to check the value of temp[1-6]_fan_map, make
+ sure bit 0 is cleared in the 6 values. And then set the pwm1 value to
+ control the fan.
+
+ Each temperature channel can control all the 8 PWM outputs (by setting the
+ corresponding bit in tempX_fan_map), you can set the temperature channel
+ mode using temp[1-6]_pwm_enable, 2 is Thermal Cruise mode and 3
+ is the SmartFanII mode. Temperature channels will try to speed up or
+ slow down all controlled fans, this means one fan can receive different
+ PWM value requests from different temperature channels, but the chip
+ will always pick the safest (max) PWM value for each fan.
+
+ In Thermal Cruise mode, the chip attempts to keep the temperature at a
+ predefined value, within a tolerance margin. So if tempX_input >
+ thermal_cruiseX + toleranceX, the chip will increase the PWM value,
+ if tempX_input < thermal_cruiseX - toleranceX, the chip will decrease
+ the PWM value. If the temperature is within the tolerance range, the PWM
+ value is left unchanged.
+
+ SmartFanII works differently, you have to define up to 7 PWM, temperature
+ trip points, defining a PWM/temperature curve which the chip will follow.
+ While not fundamentally different from the Thermal Cruise mode, the
+ implementation is quite different, giving you a finer-grained control.
+
+* Chassis
+ If the case open alarm triggers, it will stay in this state unless cleared
+ by writing 0 to the sysfs file "intrusion0_alarm".
+
+* VID and VRM
+ The VRM version is detected automatically, don't modify the it unless you
+ *do* know the cpu VRM version and it's not properly detected.
+
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+ Only Fan1-5 and PWM1-3 are guaranteed to always exist, other fan inputs and
+ PWM outputs may or may not exist depending on the chip pin configuration.

-
-Description of the Interface between Linklevel and Hardwarelevel
- of isdn4linux:
-
-
- The Communication between Linklevel (LL) and Hardwarelevel (HL)
- is based on the struct isdn_if (defined in isdnif.h).
-
- An HL-driver can register itself at LL by calling the function
- register_isdn() with a pointer to that struct. Prior to that, it has
- to preset some of the fields of isdn_if. The LL sets the rest of
- the fields. All further communication is done via callbacks using
- the function-pointers defined in isdn_if.
-
- Changes/Version numbering:
-
- During development of the ISDN subsystem, several changes have been
- made to the interface. Before it went into kernel, the package
- had a unique version number. The last version, distributed separately
- was 0.7.4. When the subsystem went into kernel, every functional unit
- got a separate version number. These numbers are shown at initialization,
- separated by slashes:
-
- c.c/t.t/n.n/p.p/a.a/v.v
-
- where
-
- c.c is the revision of the common code.
- t.t is the revision of the tty related code.
- n.n is the revision of the network related code.
- p.p is the revision of the ppp related code.
- a.a is the revision of the audio related code.
- v.v is the revision of the V.110 related code.
-
- Changes in this document are marked with '***CHANGEx' where x representing
- the version number. If that number starts with 0, it refers to the old,
- separately distributed package. If it starts with one of the letters
- above, it refers to the revision of the corresponding module.
- ***CHANGEIx refers to the revision number of the isdnif.h
-
-1. Description of the fields of isdn_if:
-
- int channels;
-
- This field has to be set by the HL-driver to the number of channels
- supported prior to calling register_isdn(). Upon return of the call,
- the LL puts an id there, which has to be used by the HL-driver when
- invoking the other callbacks.
-
- int maxbufsize;
-
- ***CHANGE0.6: New since this version.
-
- Also to be preset by the HL-driver. With this value the HL-driver
- tells the LL the maximum size of a data-packet it will accept.
-
- unsigned long features;
-
- To be preset by the HL-driver. Using this field, the HL-driver
- announces the features supported. At the moment this is limited to
- report the supported layer2 and layer3-protocols. For setting this
- field the constants ISDN_FEATURE..., declared in isdnif.h have to be
- used.
-
- ***CHANGE0.7.1: The line type (1TR6, EDSS1) has to be set.
-
- unsigned short hl_hdrlen;
-
- ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field.
-
- To be preset by the HL-driver, if it supports sk_buff's. The driver
- should put here the amount of additional space needed in sk_buff's for
- its internal purposes. Drivers not supporting sk_buff's should
- initialize this field to 0.
-
- void (*rcvcallb_skb)(int, int, struct sk_buff *)
-
- ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field.
-
- This field will be set by LL. The HL-driver delivers received data-
- packets by calling this function. Upon calling, the HL-driver must
- already have its private data pulled off the head of the sk_buff.
-
- Parameter:
- int driver-Id
- int Channel-number locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
- struct sk_buff * Pointer to sk_buff, containing received data.
-
- int (*statcallb)(isdn_ctrl*);
-
- This field will be set by LL. This function has to be called by the
- HL-driver for signaling status-changes or other events to the LL.
-
- Parameter:
- isdn_ctrl*
-
- The struct isdn_ctrl also defined in isdn_if. The exact meanings of its
- fields are described together with the descriptions of the possible
- events. Here is only a short description of the fields:
-
- driver = driver Id.
- command = event-type. (one of the constants ISDN_STAT_...)
- arg = depends on event-type.
- num = depends on event-type.
-
- Returnvalue:
- 0 on success, else -1
-
- int (*command)(isdn_ctrl*);
-
- This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. It points to a function,
- to be called by LL to perform functions like dialing, B-channel
- setup, etc. The exact meaning of the parameters is described with the
- descriptions of the possible commands.
-
- Parameter:
- isdn_ctrl*
- driver = driver-Id
- command = command to perform. (one of the constants ISDN_CMD_...)
- arg = depends on command.
- num = depends on command.
-
- Returnvalue:
- >=0 on success, else error-code (-ENODEV etc.)
-
- int (*writebuf_skb)(int, int, int, struct sk_buff *)
-
- ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field.
- ***CHANGEI.1.21: New field.
-
- This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. The given function will
- be called by the LL for delivering data to be send via B-Channel.
-
-
- Parameter:
- int driver-Id ***CHANGE0.7.4: New parameter.
- int channel-number locally to the HL-driver. (starts with 0)
- int ack ***ChangeI1.21: New parameter
- If this is !0, the driver has to signal the delivery
- by sending an ISDN_STAT_BSENT. If this is 0, the driver
- MUST NOT send an ISDN_STAT_BSENT.
- struct sk_buff * Pointer to sk_buff containing data to be send via
- B-channel.
-
- Returnvalue:
- Length of data accepted on success, else error-code (-EINVAL on
- oversized packets etc.)
-
- int (*writecmd)(u_char*, int, int, int, int);
-
- This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. The given function will be
- called to perform write-requests on /dev/isdnctrl (i.e. sending commands
- to the card) The data-format is hardware-specific. This function is
- intended for debugging only. It is not necessary for normal operation
- and never will be called by the tty-emulation- or network-code. If
- this function is not supported, the driver has to set NULL here.
-
- Parameter:
- u_char* pointer to data.
- int length of data.
- int flag: 0 = call from within kernel-space. (HL-driver must use
- memcpy, may NOT use schedule())
- 1 = call from user-space. (HL-driver must use
- memcpy_fromfs, use of schedule() allowed)
- int driver-Id.
- int channel-number locally to the HL-driver. (starts with 0)
-
-***CHANGEI1.14: The driver-Id and channel-number are new since this revision.
-
- Returnvalue:
- Length of data accepted on success, else error-code (-EINVAL etc.)
-
- int (*readstat)(u_char*, int, int, int, int);
-
- This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. The given function will be
- called to perform read-requests on /dev/isdnctrl (i.e. reading replies
- from the card) The data-format is hardware-specific. This function is
- intended for debugging only. It is not necessary for normal operation
- and never will be called by the tty-emulation- or network-code. If
- this function is not supported, the driver has to set NULL here.
-
- Parameter:

- int length of data.
- int flag: 0 = call from within kernel-space. (HL-driver must use

- 1 = call from user-space. (HL-driver must use
- memcpy_fromfs, use of schedule() allowed)
- int driver-Id.
- int channel-number locally to the HL-driver. (starts with 0)
-
-***CHANGEI1.14: The driver-Id and channel-number are new since this revision.
-
- Returnvalue:
- Length of data on success, else error-code (-EINVAL etc.)
-
- char id[20];
- ***CHANGE0.7: New since this version.
-
- This string has to be preset by the HL-driver. Its purpose is for
- identification of the driver by the user. Eg.: it is shown in the
- status-info of /dev/isdninfo. Furthermore it is used as Id for binding
- net-interfaces to a specific channel. If a string of length zero is
- given, upon return, isdn4linux will replace it by a generic name. (line0,
- line1 etc.) It is recommended to make this string configurable during
- module-load-time. (copy a global variable to this string.) For doing that,
- modules 1.2.8 or newer are necessary.
-
-2. Description of the commands, a HL-driver has to support:
-
- All commands will be performed by calling the function command() described
- above from within the LL. The field command of the struct-parameter will
- contain the desired command, the field driver is always set to the
- appropriate driver-Id.
-
- Until now, the following commands are defined:
-
-***CHANGEI1.34: The parameter "num" has been replaced by a union "parm" containing
- the old "num" and a new setup_type struct used for ISDN_CMD_DIAL
- and ISDN_STAT_ICALL callback.
-
- ISDN_CMD_IOCTL:
-
- This command is intended for performing ioctl-calls for configuring
- hardware or similar purposes (setting port-addresses, loading firmware
- etc.) For this purpose, in the LL all ioctl-calls with an argument
- >= IIOCDRVCTL (0x100) will be handed transparently to this
- function after subtracting 0x100 and placing the result in arg.
- Example:
- If a userlevel-program calls ioctl(0x101,...) the function gets
- called with the field command set to 1.
-
- Parameter:
- driver = driver-Id.
- command = ISDN_CMD_IOCTL
- arg = Original ioctl-cmd - IIOCDRVCTL
- parm.num = first bytes filled with (unsigned long)arg
-
- Returnvalue:
- Depending on driver.
-
-
- ISDN_CMD_DIAL:
-
- This command is used to tell the HL-driver it should dial a given
- number.
-
- Parameter:
- driver = driver-Id.
- command = ISDN_CMD_DIAL
- arg = channel-number locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
-
- parm.setup.phone = An ASCII-String containing the number to dial.
- parm.setup.eazmsn = An ASCII-Sting containing the own EAZ or MSN.
- parm.setup.si1 = The Service-Indicator.
- parm.setup.si2 = Additional Service-Indicator.
-
- If the Line has been designed as SPV (a special german
- feature, meaning semi-leased-line) the phone has to
- start with an "S".
- ***CHANGE0.6: In previous versions the EAZ has been given in the
- highbyte of arg.
- ***CHANGE0.7.1: New since this version: ServiceIndicator and AddInfo.
-
- ISDN_CMD_ACCEPTD:

- (after establishing D-Channel-Connection)
-
- Parameter:
- driver = driver-Id.
- command = ISDN_CMD_ACCEPTB
- arg = channel-number locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
- parm = unused.
-
- ISDN_CMD_HANGUP:

-
-Description of the fax-subinterface between linklevel and hardwarelevel of
- isdn4linux.
-
- The communication between linklevel (LL) and hardwarelevel (HL) for fax
- is based on the struct T30_s (defined in isdnif.h).
- This struct is allocated in the LL.
- In order to use fax, the LL provides the pointer to this struct with the
- command ISDN_CMD_SETL3 (parm.fax). This pointer expires in case of hangup
- and when a new channel to a new connection is assigned.
-
-
-Data handling:
- In send-mode the HL-driver has to handle the <DLE> codes and the bit-order
- conversion by itself.
- In receive-mode the LL-driver takes care of the bit-order conversion
- (specified by +FBOR)
-
-Structure T30_s description:
-
- This structure stores the values (set by AT-commands), the remote-
- capability-values and the command-codes between LL and HL.
-
- If the HL-driver receives ISDN_CMD_FAXCMD, all needed information
- is in this struct set by the LL.
- To signal information to the LL, the HL-driver has to set the
- parameters and use ISDN_STAT_FAXIND.
- (Please refer to INTERFACE)
-
-Structure T30_s:
-
- All members are 8-bit unsigned (__u8)
-
- - resolution
- - rate
- - width
- - length
- - compression
- - ecm
- - binary
- - scantime

- - r_resolution
- - r_rate
- - r_width
- - r_length
- - r_compression
- - r_ecm
- - r_binary
- - r_scantime
- - r_id[]
- Remote faxmachine's parameters. To be set by HL-driver.
-
- - phase
- Defines the actual state of fax connection. Set by HL or LL
- depending on progress and type of connection.
- If the phase changes because of an AT command, the LL driver
- changes this value. Otherwise the HL-driver takes care of it, but
- only necessary on call establishment (from IDLE to PHASE_A).
- (one of the constants ISDN_FAX_PHASE_[IDLE,A,B,C,D,E])
-
- - direction
- Defines outgoing/send or incoming/receive connection.
- (ISDN_TTY_FAX_CONN_[IN,OUT])
-
- - code
- Commands from LL to HL; possible constants :
- ISDN_TTY_FAX_DR signals +FDR command to HL
-
- ISDN_TTY_FAX_DT signals +FDT command to HL

-
- ISDN_TTY_FAX_SENT signals that all data has been sent
- and <DLE><ETX> is acknowledged,
- OK message will be sent.
-
- ISDN_TTY_FAX_PTS signals a msg-confirmation (page sent successful),
- depending on fet value:
- 0: output OK message (more pages follow)
- 1: switching to phase B (next document)

-README for the ISDN-subsystem
-
-1. Preface
-
- 1.1 Introduction
-
- This README describes how to set up and how to use the different parts
- of the ISDN-subsystem.
-
- For using the ISDN-subsystem, some additional userlevel programs are
- necessary. Those programs and some contributed utilities are available
- at
-
- ftp.isdn4linux.de
-
- /pub/isdn4linux/isdn4k-utils-<VersionNumber>.tar.gz
-
-
- We also have set up a mailing-list:
-
- The isdn4linux-project originates in Germany, and therefore by historical
- reasons, the mailing-list's primary language is german. However mails
- written in english have been welcome all the time.
-
- to subscribe: write a email to majordomo@listserv.isdn4linux.de,
- Subject irrelevant, in the message body:
- subscribe isdn4linux <your_email_address>
-
- To write to the mailing-list, write to isdn4linux@listserv.isdn4linux.de
-
- This mailinglist is bidirectionally gated to the newsgroup
-
- de.alt.comm.isdn4linux
-
- There is also a well maintained FAQ in English available at
- https://www.mhessler.de/i4lfaq/
- It can be viewed online, or downloaded in sgml/text/html format.
- The FAQ can also be viewed online at
- https://www.isdn4linux.de/faq/i4lfaq.html
- or downloaded from
- ftp://ftp.isdn4linux.de/pub/isdn4linux/FAQ/
-
- 1.1 Technical details
-
- In the following Text, the terms MSN and EAZ are used.
-
- MSN is the abbreviation for (M)ultiple(S)ubscriber(N)umber, and applies
- to Euro(EDSS1)-type lines. Usually it is simply the phone number.
-
- EAZ is the abbreviation of (E)ndgeraete(A)uswahl(Z)iffer and
- applies to German 1TR6-type lines. This is a one-digit string,
- simply appended to the base phone number
-
- The internal handling is nearly identical, so replace the appropriate
- term to that one, which applies to your local ISDN-environment.
-
- When the link-level-module isdn.o is loaded, it supports up to 16
- low-level-modules with up to 64 channels. (The number 64 is arbitrarily
- chosen and can be configured at compile-time --ISDN_MAX in isdn.h).
- A low-level-driver can register itself through an interface (which is
- defined in isdnif.h) and gets assigned a slot.
- The following char-devices are made available for each channel:
-
- A raw-control-device with the following functions:
- write: raw D-channel-messages (format: depends on driver).
- read: raw D-channel-messages (format: depends on driver).
- ioctl: depends on driver, i.e. for the ICN-driver, the base-address of
- the ports and the shared memory on the card can be set and read
- also the boot-code and the protocol software can be loaded into
- the card.
-
- O N L Y !!! for debugging (no locking against other devices):
- One raw-data-device with the following functions:
- write: data to B-channel.
- read: data from B-channel.
-
- In addition the following devices are made available:
-
- 128 tty-devices (64 cuix and 64 ttyIx) with integrated modem-emulator:
- The functionality is almost the same as that of a serial device
- (the line-discs are handled by the kernel), which lets you run
- SLIP, CSLIP and asynchronous PPP through the devices. We have tested
- Seyon, minicom, CSLIP (uri-dip) PPP, mgetty, XCept and Hylafax.
-
- The modem-emulation supports the following:
- 1.3.1 Commands:
-
- ATA Answer incoming call.
- ATD<No.> Dial, the number may contain:
- [0-9] and [,#.*WPT-S]
- the latter are ignored until 'S'.
- The 'S' must precede the number, if
- the line is a SPV (German 1TR6).
- ATE0 Echo off.
- ATE1 Echo on (default).
- ATH Hang-up.
- ATH1 Off hook (ignored).
- ATH0 Hang-up.
- ATI Return "ISDN for Linux...".
- ATI0 "
- ATI1 "
- ATI2 Report of last connection.
- ATO On line (data mode).
- ATQ0 Enable result codes (default).
- ATQ1 Disable result codes (default).
- ATSx=y Set register x to y.
- ATSx? Show contents of register x.
- ATV0 Numeric responses.
- ATV1 English responses (default).
- ATZ Load registers and EAZ/MSN from Profile.
- AT&Bx Set Send-Packet-size to x (max. 4000)
- The real packet-size may be limited by the
- low-level-driver used. e.g. the HiSax-Module-
- limit is 2000. You will get NO Error-Message,
- if you set it to higher values, because at the
- time of giving this command the corresponding
- driver may not be selected (see "Automatic
- Assignment") however the size of outgoing packets
- will be limited correctly.
- AT&D0 Ignore DTR
- AT&D2 DTR-low-edge: Hang up and return to
- command mode (default).
- AT&D3 Same as AT&D2 but also resets all registers.
- AT&Ex Set the EAZ/MSN for this channel to x.
- AT&F Reset all registers and profile to "factory-defaults"
- AT&Lx Set list of phone numbers to listen on. x is a
- list of wildcard patterns separated by semicolon.
- If this is set, it has precedence over the MSN set
- by AT&E.
- AT&Rx Select V.110 bitrate adaption.
- This command enables V.110 protocol with 9600 baud
- (x=9600), 19200 baud (x=19200) or 38400 baud
- (x=38400). A value of x=0 disables V.110 switching
- back to default X.75. This command sets the following
- Registers:
- Reg 14 (Layer-2 protocol):
- x = 0: 0
- x = 9600: 7
- x = 19200: 8
- x = 38400: 9
- Reg 18.2 = 1
- Reg 19 (Additional Service Indicator):
- x = 0: 0
- x = 9600: 197
- x = 19200: 199
- x = 38400: 198
- Note on value in Reg 19:
- There is _NO_ common convention for 38400 baud.
- The value 198 is chosen arbitrarily. Users
- _MUST_ negotiate this value before establishing
- a connection.
- AT&Sx Set window-size (x = 1..8) (not yet implemented)
- AT&V Show all settings.
- AT&W0 Write registers and EAZ/MSN to profile. See also
- iprofd (5.c in this README).
- AT&X0 BTX-mode and T.70-mode off (default)
- AT&X1 BTX-mode on. (S13.1=1, S13.5=0 S14=0, S16=7, S18=7, S19=0)
- AT&X2 T.70-mode on. (S13.1=1, S13.5=1, S14=0, S16=7, S18=7, S19=0)
- AT+Rx Resume a suspended call with CallID x (x = 1,2,3...)
- AT+Sx Suspend a call with CallID x (x = 1,2,3...)
-
- For voice-mode commands refer to README.audio
-
- 1.3.2 Escape sequence:
- During a connection, the emulation reacts just like
- a normal modem to the escape sequence <DELAY>+++<DELAY>.
- (The escape character - default '+' - can be set in the
- register 2).
- The DELAY must at least be 1.5 seconds long and delay
- between the escape characters must not exceed 0.5 seconds.
-
- 1.3.3 Registers:
-
- Nr. Default Description
- 0 0 Answer on ring number.
- (no auto-answer if S0=0).
- 1 0 Count of rings.
- 2 43 Escape character.
- (a value >= 128 disables the escape sequence).
- 3 13 Carriage return character (ASCII).
- 4 10 Line feed character (ASCII).
- 5 8 Backspace character (ASCII).
- 6 3 Delay in seconds before dialing.
- 7 60 Wait for carrier.
- 8 2 Pause time for comma (ignored)
- 9 6 Carrier detect time (ignored)
- 10 7 Carrier loss to disconnect time (ignored).
- 11 70 Touch tone timing (ignored).
- 12 69 Bit coded register:
- Bit 0: 0 = Suppress response messages.
- 1 = Show response messages.
- Bit 1: 0 = English response messages.
- 1 = Numeric response messages.
- Bit 2: 0 = Echo off.
- 1 = Echo on.
- Bit 3 0 = DCD always on.

-
- Last but not least a (at the moment fairly primitive) device to request
- the line-status (/dev/isdninfo) is made available.
-
- Automatic assignment of devices to lines:
-
- All inactive physical lines are listening to all EAZs for incoming
- calls and are NOT assigned to a specific tty or network interface.
- When an incoming call is detected, the driver looks first for a network
- interface and then for an opened tty which:
-
- 1. is configured for the same EAZ.
- 2. has the same protocol settings for the B-channel.
- 3. (only for network interfaces if the security flag is set)
- contains the caller number in its access list.
- 4. Either the channel is not bound exclusively to another Net-interface, or
- it is bound AND the other checks apply to exactly this interface.
- (For usage of the bind-features, refer to the isdnctrl-man-page)
-
- Only when a matching interface or tty is found is the call accepted
- and the "connection" between the low-level-layer and the link-level-layer
- is established and kept until the end of the connection.
- In all other cases no connection is established. Isdn4linux can be
- configured to either do NOTHING in this case (which is useful, if
- other, external devices with the same EAZ/MSN are connected to the bus)
- or to reject the call actively. (isdnctrl busreject ...)
-
- For an outgoing call, the inactive physical lines are searched.
- The call is placed on the first physical line, which supports the
- requested protocols for the B-channel. If a net-interface, however
- is pre-bound to a channel, this channel is used directly.
-
- This makes it possible to configure several network interfaces and ttys
- for one EAZ, if the network interfaces are set to secure operation.
- If an incoming call matches one network interface, it gets connected to it.
- If another incoming call for the same EAZ arrives, which does not match
- a network interface, the first tty gets a "RING" and so on.
-
-2 System prerequisites:
-
- ATTENTION!
-
- Always use the latest module utilities. The current version is
- named in Documentation/Changes. Some old versions of insmod
- are not capable of setting the driver-Ids correctly.
-
-3. Lowlevel-driver configuration.
-
- Configuration depends on how the drivers are built. See the
- README.<yourDriver> for information on driver-specific setup.
-
-4. Device-inodes
-
- The major and minor numbers and their names are described in
- Documentation/admin-guide/devices.rst. The major numbers are:
-
- 43 for the ISDN-tty's.
- 44 for the ISDN-callout-tty's.
- 45 for control/info/debug devices.
-
-5. Application
-
- a) For some card-types, firmware has to be loaded into the cards, before
- proceeding with device-independent setup. See README.<yourDriver>
- for how to do that.
-
- b) If you only intend to use ttys, you are nearly ready now.
-
- c) If you want to have really permanent "Modem"-settings on disk, you
- can start the daemon iprofd. Give it a path to a file at the command-
- line. It will store the profile-settings in this file every time
- an AT&W0 is performed on any ISDN-tty. If the file already exists,
- all profiles are initialized from this file. If you want to unload
- any of the modules, kill iprofd first.
-
- d) For networking, continue: Create an interface:
- isdnctrl addif isdn0
-
- e) Set the EAZ (or MSN for Euro-ISDN):
- isdnctrl eaz isdn0 2
-
- (For 1TR6 a single digit is allowed, for Euro-ISDN the number is your
- real MSN e.g.: Phone-Number)
-
- f) Set the number for outgoing calls on the interface:
- isdnctrl addphone isdn0 out 1234567
- ... (this can be executed more than once, all assigned numbers are
- tried in order)
- and the number(s) for incoming calls:
- isdnctrl addphone isdn0 in 1234567
-
- g) Set the timeout for hang-up:
- isdnctrl huptimeout isdn0 <timeout_in_seconds>
-
- h) additionally you may activate charge-hang-up (= Hang up before
- next charge-info, this only works, if your isdn-provider transmits
- the charge-info during and after the connection):
- isdnctrl chargehup isdn0 on
-
- i) Set the dial mode of the interface:
- isdnctrl dialmode isdn0 auto
- "off" means that you (or the system) cannot make any connection
- (neither incoming or outgoing connections are possible). Use
- this if you want to be sure that no connections will be made.
- "auto" means that the interface is in auto-dial mode, and will
- attempt to make a connection whenever a network data packet needs
- the interface's link. Note that this can cause unexpected dialouts,
- and lead to a high phone bill! Some daemons or other pc's that use
- this interface can cause this.
- Incoming connections are also possible.
- "manual" is a dial mode created to prevent the unexpected dialouts.
- In this mode, the interface will never make any connections on its
- own. You must explicitly initiate a connection with "isdnctrl dial
- isdn0". However, after an idle time of no traffic as configured for
- the huptimeout value with isdnctrl, the connection _will_ be ended.
- If you don't want any automatic hangup, set the huptimeout value to 0.
- "manual" is the default.
-
- j) Setup the interface with ifconfig as usual, and set a route to it.
-
- k) (optional) If you run X11 and have Tcl/Tk-wish version 4.0, you can use
- the script tools/tcltk/isdnmon. You can add actions for line-status
- changes. See the comments at the beginning of the script for how to
- do that. There are other tty-based tools in the tools-subdirectory
- contributed by Michael Knigge (imon), Volker Götz (imontty) and
- Andreas Kool (isdnmon).
-
- l) For initial testing, you can set the verbose-level to 2 (default: 0).
- Then all incoming calls are logged, even if they are not addressed
- to one of the configured net-interfaces:
- isdnctrl verbose 2
-
- Now you are ready! A ping to the set address should now result in an
- automatic dial-out (look at syslog kernel-messages).
- The phone numbers and EAZs can be assigned at any time with isdnctrl.
- You can add as many interfaces as you like with addif following the
- directions above. Of course, there may be some limitations. But we have
- tested as many as 20 interfaces without any problem. However, if you
- don't give an interface name to addif, the kernel will assign a name
- which starts with "eth". The number of "eth"-interfaces is limited by
- the kernel.
-
-5. Additional options for isdnctrl:
-
- "isdnctrl secure <InterfaceName> on"
- Only incoming calls, for which the caller-id is listed in the access
- list of the interface are accepted. You can add caller-id's With the
- command "isdnctrl addphone <InterfaceName> in <caller-id>"
- Euro-ISDN does not transmit the leading '0' of the caller-id for an
- incoming call, therefore you should configure it accordingly.
- If the real number for the dialout e.g. is "09311234567" the number
- to configure here is "9311234567". The pattern-match function
- works similar to the shell mechanism.
-
- ? one arbitrary digit
- * zero or arbitrary many digits
- [123] one of the digits in the list
- [1-5] one digit between '1' and '5'
- a '^' as the first character in a list inverts the list
-
-
- "isdnctrl secure <InterfaceName> off"
- Switch off secure operation (default).
-
- "isdnctrl ihup <InterfaceName> [on|off]"
- Switch the hang-up-timer for incoming calls on or off.
-
- "isdnctrl eaz <InterfaceName>"
- Returns the EAZ of an interface.
-
- "isdnctrl delphone <InterfaceName> in|out <number>"
- Deletes a number from one of the access-lists of the interface.
-
- "isdnctrl delif <InterfaceName>"
- Removes the interface (and possible slaves) from the kernel.
- (You have to unregister it with "ifconfig <InterfaceName> down" before).
-
- "isdnctrl callback <InterfaceName> [on|off]"
- Switches an interface to callback-mode. In this mode, an incoming call
- will be rejected and after this the remote-station will be called. If
- you test this feature by using ping, some routers will re-dial very
- quickly, so that the callback from isdn4linux may not be recognized.
- In this case use ping with the option -i <sec> to increase the interval
- between echo-packets.
-
- "isdnctrl cbdelay <InterfaceName> [seconds]"
- Sets the delay (default 5 sec) between an incoming call and start of
- dialing when callback is enabled.
-
- "isdnctrl cbhup <InterfaceName> [on|off]"
- This enables (default) or disables an active hangup (reject) when getting an
- incoming call for an interface which is configured for callback.
-
- "isdnctrl encap <InterfaceName> <EncapType>"
- Selects the type of packet-encapsulation. The encapsulation can be changed
- only while an interface is down.
-
- At the moment the following values are supported:
-
- rawip (Default) Selects raw-IP-encapsulation. This means, MAC-headers
- are stripped off.
- ip IP with type-field. Same as IP but the type-field of the MAC-header
- is preserved.
- x25iface X.25 interface encapsulation (first byte semantics as defined in
- ../networking/x25-iface.txt). Use this for running the linux
- X.25 network protocol stack (AF_X25 sockets) on top of isdn.
- cisco-h A special-mode for communicating with a Cisco, which is configured
- to do "hdlc"
- ethernet No stripping. Packets are sent with full MAC-header.
- The Ethernet-address of the interface is faked, from its
- IP-address: fc:fc:i1:i2:i3:i4, where i1-4 are the IP-addr.-values.
- syncppp Synchronous PPP
-
- uihdlc HDLC with UI-frame-header (for use with DOS ISPA, option -h1)
-
-
- NOTE: x25iface encapsulation is currently experimental. Please
- read README.x25 for further details
-
-
- Watching packets, using standard-tcpdump will fail for all encapsulations
- except ethernet because tcpdump does not know how to handle packets
- without MAC-header. A patch for tcpdump is included in the utility-package
- mentioned above.
-
- "isdnctrl l2_prot <InterfaceName> <L2-ProtocolName>"
- Selects a layer-2-protocol.
- (With the ICN-driver and the HiSax-driver, "x75i" and "hdlc" is available.
- With other drivers, "x75ui", "x75bui", "x25dte", "x25dce" may be
- possible too. See README.x25 for x25 related l2 protocols.)
-
- isdnctrl l3_prot <InterfaceName> <L3-ProtocolName>
- The same for layer-3. (At the moment only "trans" is allowed)
-
- "isdnctrl list <InterfaceName>"
- Shows all parameters of an interface and the charge-info.
- Try "all" as the interface name.
-
- "isdnctrl hangup <InterfaceName>"
- Forces hangup of an interface.
-
- "isdnctrl bind <InterfaceName> <DriverId>,<ChannelNumber> [exclusive]"
- If you are using more than one ISDN card, it is sometimes necessary to
- dial out using a specific card or even preserve a specific channel for
- dialout of a specific net-interface. This can be done with the above
- command. Replace <DriverId> by whatever you assigned while loading the
- module. The <ChannelNumber> is counted from zero. The upper limit
- depends on the card used. At the moment no card supports more than
- 2 channels, so the upper limit is one.
-
- "isdnctrl unbind <InterfaceName>"
- unbinds a previously bound interface.
-
- "isdnctrl busreject <DriverId> on|off"
- If switched on, isdn4linux replies a REJECT to incoming calls, it
- cannot match to any configured interface.
- If switched off, nothing happens in this case.
- You normally should NOT enable this feature, if the ISDN adapter is not
- the only device connected to the S0-bus. Otherwise it could happen that
- isdn4linux rejects an incoming call, which belongs to another device on
- the bus.
-
- "isdnctrl addslave <InterfaceName> <SlaveName>
- Creates a slave interface for channel-bundling. Slave interfaces are
- not seen by the kernel, but their ISDN-part can be configured with
- isdnctrl as usual. (Phone numbers, EAZ/MSN, timeouts etc.) If more
- than two channels are to be bundled, feel free to create as many as you
- want. InterfaceName must be a real interface, NOT a slave. Slave interfaces
- start dialing, if the master interface resp. the previous slave interface
- has a load of more than 7000 cps. They hangup if the load goes under 7000
- cps, according to their "huptimeout"-parameter.
-
- "isdnctrl sdelay <InterfaceName> secs."
- This sets the minimum time an Interface has to be fully loaded, until
- it sends a dial-request to its slave.
-
- "isdnctrl dial <InterfaceName>"
- Forces an interface to start dialing even if no packets are to be
- transferred.
-
- "isdnctrl mapping <DriverId> MSN0,MSN1,MSN2,...MSN9"
- This installs a mapping table for EAZ<->MSN-mapping for a single line.
- Missing MSN's have to be given as "-" or can be omitted, if at the end
- of the commandline.
- With this command, it's now possible to have an interface listening to
- mixed 1TR6- and Euro-Type lines. In this case, the interface has to be
- configured to a 1TR6-type EAZ (one digit). The mapping is also valid
- for tty-emulation. Seen from the interface/tty-level the mapping
- CAN be used, however it's possible to use single tty's/interfaces with
- real MSN's (more digits) also, in which case the mapping will be ignored.
- Here is an example:
-
- You have a 1TR6-type line with base-nr. 1234567 and a Euro-line with
- MSN's 987654, 987655 and 987656. The DriverId for the Euro-line is "EURO".
-
- isdnctrl mapping EURO -,987654,987655,987656,-,987655
- ...
- isdnctrl eaz isdn0 1 # listen on 12345671(1tr6) and 987654(euro)
- ...
- isdnctrl eaz isdn1 4 # listen on 12345674(1tr6) only.
- ...
- isdnctrl eaz isdn2 987654 # listen on 987654(euro) only.
-
- Same scheme is used with AT&E... at the tty's.
-
-6. If you want to write a new low-level-driver, you are welcome.
- The interface to the link-level-module is described in the file INTERFACE.
- If the interface should be expanded for any reason, don't do it
- on your own, send me a mail containing the proposed changes and
- some reasoning about them.
- If other drivers will not be affected, I will include the changes
- in the next release.
- For developers only, there is a second mailing-list. Write to me
- (fritz@isdn4linux.de), if you want to join that list.
-
-Have fun!

-
-
-Configuring the driver
-----------------------
-
-The HiSax driver can either be built directly into the kernel or as a module.
-It can be configured using the command line feature while loading the kernel
-with LILO or LOADLIN or, if built as a module, using insmod/modprobe with
-parameters.
-There is also some config needed before you compile the kernel and/or
-modules. It is included in the normal "make [menu]config" target at the
-kernel. Don't forget it, especially to select the right D-channel protocol.
-
-Please note: In older versions of the HiSax driver, all PnP cards
-needed to be configured with isapnp and worked only with the HiSax
-driver used as a module.
-
-In the current version, HiSax will automatically use the in-kernel
-ISAPnP support, provided you selected it during kernel configuration
-(CONFIG_ISAPNP), if you don't give the io=, irq= command line parameters.
-
-The affected card types are: 4,7,12,14,19,27-30
-
-a) when built as a module
--------------------------
-
-insmod/modprobe hisax.o \
- io=iobase irq=IRQ mem=membase type=card_type \
- protocol=D_channel_protocol id=idstring
-
-or, if several cards are installed:
-
-insmod/modprobe hisax.o \
- io=iobase1,iobase2,... irq=IRQ1,IRQ2,... mem=membase1,membase2,... \
- type=card_type1,card_type2,... \
- protocol=D_channel_protocol1,D_channel_protocol2,... \
- id=idstring1%idstring2 ...
-
-where "iobaseN" represents the I/O base address of the Nth card, "membaseN"
-the memory base address of the Nth card, etc.
-
-The reason for the delimiter "%" being used in the idstrings is that ","
-won't work with the current modules package.
-
-The parameters may be specified in any order. For example, the "io"
-parameter may precede the "irq" parameter, or vice versa. If several
-cards are installed, the ordering within the comma separated parameter
-lists must of course be consistent.
-
-Only parameters applicable to the card type need to be specified. For
-example, the Teles 16.3 card is not memory-mapped, so the "mem"
-parameter may be omitted for this card. Sometimes it may be necessary
-to specify a dummy parameter, however. This is the case when there is
-a card of a different type later in the list that needs a parameter
-which the preceding card does not. For instance, if a Teles 16.0 card
-is listed after a Teles 16.3 card, a dummy memory base parameter of 0
-must be specified for the 16.3. Instead of a dummy value, the parameter
-can also be skipped by simply omitting the value. For example:
-mem=,0xd0000. See example 6 below.
-
-The parameter for the D-Channel protocol may be omitted if you selected the
-correct one during kernel config. Valid values are "1" for German 1TR6,
-"2" for EDSS1 (Euro ISDN), "3" for leased lines (no D-Channel) and "4"
-for US NI1.
-With US NI1 you have to include your SPID into the MSN setting in the form
-<MSN>:<SPID> for example (your phonenumber is 1234 your SPID 5678):
-AT&E1234:5678 on ttyI interfaces
-isdnctrl eaz ippp0 1234:5678 on network devices
-
-The Creatix/Teles PnP cards use io1= and io2= instead of io= for specifying

-
-2. Teles 16.0, 1TR6 ISDN, I/O base d80 hex, IRQ 5, Memory d0000 hex
- modprobe hisax protocol=1 type=1 io=0xd80 mem=0xd0000 irq=5
-
-3. Fritzcard, Euro ISDN, I/O base 340 hex, IRQ 10 and ELSA PCF, Euro ISDN
- modprobe hisax type=5,6 protocol=2,2 io=0x340 irq=10 id=Fritz%Elsa
-
-4. Any ELSA PCC/PCF card, Euro ISDN
- modprobe hisax type=6 protocol=2

-Running the driver
-------------------
-
-When you insmod isdn.o and hisax.o (or with the in-kernel version, during
-boot time), a few lines should appear in your syslog. Look for something like:
-
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Driver for Siemens chip set ISDN cards
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Version 2.9
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Revisions 1.14/1.9/1.10/1.25/1.8
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Total 1 card defined
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Card 1 Protocol EDSS1 Id=HiSax1 (0)
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Elsa driver Rev. 1.13
-...
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: Elsa: PCF-Pro found at 0x360 Rev.:C IRQ 10
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: Elsa: timer OK; resetting card
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: Elsa: HSCX version A: V2.1 B: V2.1
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: Elsa: ISAC 2086/2186 V1.1
-...
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: DSS1 Rev. 1.14
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: 2 channels added
-
-This means that the card is ready for use.
-Cabling problems or line-downs are not detected, and only some ELSA cards can
-detect the S0 power.
-
-Remember that, according to the new strategy for accessing low-level drivers
-from within isdn4linux, you should also define a driver ID while doing
-insmod: Simply append hisax_id=<SomeString> to the insmod command line. This
-string MUST NOT start with a digit or a small 'x'!
-
-At this point you can run a 'cat /dev/isdnctrl0' and view debugging messages.
-
-At the moment, debugging messages are enabled with the hisaxctrl tool:
-
- hisaxctrl <DriverId> DebugCmd <debugging_flags>
-
-<DriverId> default is HiSax, if you didn't specify one.
-
-DebugCmd is 1 for generic debugging
- 11 for layer 1 development debugging
- 13 for layer 3 development debugging
-
-where <debugging_flags> is the integer sum of the following debugging
-options you wish enabled:
-
-With DebugCmd set to 1:
-
- 0x0001 Link-level <--> hardware-level communication
- 0x0002 Top state machine
- 0x0004 D-Channel Frames for isdnlog
- 0x0008 D-Channel Q.921
- 0x0010 B-Channel X.75
- 0x0020 D-Channel l2
- 0x0040 B-Channel l2
- 0x0080 D-Channel link state debugging
- 0x0100 B-Channel link state debugging
- 0x0200 TEI debug
- 0x0400 LOCK debug in callc.c
- 0x0800 More paranoid debug in callc.c (not for normal use)
- 0x1000 D-Channel l1 state debugging
- 0x2000 B-Channel l1 state debugging
-
-With DebugCmd set to 11:
-
- 0x0001 Warnings (default: on)
- 0x0002 IRQ status
- 0x0004 ISAC
- 0x0008 ISAC FIFO
- 0x0010 HSCX
- 0x0020 HSCX FIFO (attention: full B-Channel output!)
- 0x0040 D-Channel LAPD frame types
- 0x0080 IPAC debug
- 0x0100 HFC receive debug
- 0x0200 ISAC monitor debug
- 0x0400 D-Channel frames for isdnlog (set with 1 0x4 too)
- 0x0800 D-Channel message verbose
-
-With DebugCmd set to 13:
-
- 1 Warnings (default: on)
- 2 l3 protocol descriptor errors
- 4 l3 state machine
- 8 charge info debugging (1TR6)
-
-For example, 'hisaxctrl HiSax 1 0x3ff' enables full generic debugging.
-
-Because of some obscure problems with some switch equipment, the delay
-between the CONNECT message and sending the first data on the B-channel is now
-configurable with
-
-hisaxctrl <DriverId> 2 <delay>
-<delay> in ms Value between 50 and 800 ms is recommended.
-
-Downloading Firmware
---------------------
-At the moment, the Sedlbauer speed fax+ is the only card, which
-needs to download firmware.
-The firmware is downloaded with the hisaxctrl tool:
-
- hisaxctrl <DriverId> 9 <firmware_filename>
-
-<DriverId> default is HiSax, if you didn't specify one,
-
-where <firmware_filename> is the filename of the firmware file.
-
-For example, 'hisaxctrl HiSax 9 ISAR.BIN' downloads the firmware for
-ISAR based cards (like the Sedlbauer speed fax+).
-
-Warning
--------
-HiSax is a work in progress and may crash your machine.
-For certification look at HiSax.cert file.
-
-Limitations
------------
-At this time, HiSax only works on Euro ISDN lines and German 1TR6 lines.
-For leased lines see appendix.
-
-Bugs

-Appendix: Teles PCMCIA driver
------------------------------
-
-See
- http://www.linux.no/teles_cs.txt
-for instructions.
-
-Appendix: Linux and ISDN-leased lines
--------------------------------------
-
-Original from Juergen Quade, new version KKe.
-
-Attention NEW VERSION, the old leased line syntax won't work !!!
-
-You can use HiSax to connect your Linux-Box via an ISDN leased line
-to e.g. the Internet:
-
-1. Build a kernel which includes the HiSax driver either as a module
- or as part of the kernel.
- cd /usr/src/linux
- make menuconfig
- <ISDN subsystem - ISDN support -- HiSax>
- make clean; make zImage; make modules; make modules_install
-2. Install the new kernel
- cp /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot/zImage /etc/kernel/linux.isdn
- vi /etc/lilo.conf
- <add new kernel in the bootable image section>
- lilo
-3. in case the hisax driver is a "fixed" part of the kernel, configure
- the driver with lilo:
- vi /etc/lilo.conf
- <add HiSax driver parameter in the global section (see below)>
- lilo
- Your lilo.conf _might_ look like the following:
-
- # LILO configuration-file
- # global section
- # teles 16.0 on IRQ=5, MEM=0xd8000, PORT=0xd80
- append="hisax=1,3,5,0xd8000,0xd80,HiSax"
- # teles 16.3 (non pnp) on IRQ=15, PORT=0xd80
- # append="hisax=3,3,5,0xd8000,0xd80,HiSax"
- boot=/dev/sda
- compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.
- linear
- read-only
- prompt
- timeout=100
- vga = normal # force sane state
- # Linux bootable partition config begins
- image = /etc/kernel/linux.isdn
- root = /dev/sda1
- label = linux.isdn
- #
- image = /etc/kernel/linux-2.0.30
- root = /dev/sda1
- label = linux.secure
-
- In the line starting with "append" you have to adapt the parameters
- according to your card (see above in this file)
-
-3. boot the new linux.isdn kernel
-4. start the ISDN subsystem:
- a) load - if necessary - the modules (depends, whether you compiled
- the ISDN driver as module or not)
- According to the type of card you have to specify the necessary
- driver parameter (irq, io, mem, type, protocol).
- For the leased line the protocol is "3". See the table above for
- the parameters, which you have to specify depending on your card.
- b) configure i4l
- /sbin/isdnctrl addif isdn0
- # EAZ 1 -- B1 channel 2 --B2 channel
- /sbin/isdnctrl eaz isdn0 1
- /sbin/isdnctrl secure isdn0 on
- /sbin/isdnctrl huptimeout isdn0 0
- /sbin/isdnctrl l2_prot isdn0 hdlc
- # Attention you must not set an outgoing number !!! This won't work !!!
- # The incoming number is LEASED0 for the first card, LEASED1 for the
- # second and so on.
- /sbin/isdnctrl addphone isdn0 in LEASED0
- # Here is no need to bind the channel.
- c) in case the remote partner is a CISCO:
- /sbin/isdnctrl encap isdn0 cisco-h
- d) configure the interface
- /sbin/ifconfig isdn0 ${LOCAL_IP} pointopoint ${REMOTE_IP}
- e) set the routes
- /sbin/route add -host ${REMOTE_IP} isdn0
- /sbin/route add default gw ${REMOTE_IP}
- f) switch the card into leased mode for each used B-channel
- /sbin/hisaxctrl HiSax 5 1
-
-Remarks:
-a) Use state of the art isdn4k-utils
-
-Here an example script:
-#!/bin/sh
-# Start/Stop ISDN leased line connection
-

-ISDN subsystem for Linux.
- Description of audio mode.
-
-When enabled during kernel configuration, the tty emulator of the ISDN
-subsystem is capable of a reduced set of commands to support audio.
-This document describes the commands supported and the format of
-audio data.
-
-Commands for enabling/disabling audio mode:
-
- AT+FCLASS=8 Enable audio mode.
- This affects the following registers:
- S18: Bits 0 and 2 are set.
- S16: Set to 48 and any further change to
- larger values is blocked.
- AT+FCLASS=0 Disable audio mode.
- Register 18 is set to 4.
- AT+FCLASS=? Show possible modes.
- AT+FCLASS? Report current mode (0 or 8).
-
-Commands supported in audio mode:
-
-All audio mode commands have one of the following forms:
-
- AT+Vxx? Show current setting.
- AT+Vxx=? Show possible settings.
- AT+Vxx=v Set simple parameter.
- AT+Vxx=v,v ... Set complex parameter.
-
-where xx is a two-character code and v are alphanumerical parameters.
-The following commands are supported:
-
- AT+VNH=x Auto hangup setting. NO EFFECT, supported
- for compatibility only.
- AT+VNH? Always reporting "1"
- AT+VNH=? Always reporting "1"
-
- AT+VIP Reset all audio parameters.
-
- AT+VLS=x Line select. x is one of the following:
- 0 = No device.
- 2 = Phone line.
- AT+VLS=? Always reporting "0,2"
- AT+VLS? Show current line.
-
- AT+VRX Start recording. Emulator responds with
- CONNECT and starts sending audio data to
- the application. See below for data format
-
- AT+VSD=x,y Set silence-detection parameters.
- Possible parameters:
- x = 0 ... 31 sensitivity threshold level.
- (default 0 , deactivated)
- y = 0 ... 255 range of interval in units
- of 0.1 second. (default 70)
- AT+VSD=? Report possible parameters.
- AT+VSD? Show current parameters.
-
- AT+VDD=x,y Set DTMF-detection parameters.
- Only possible if online and during this connection.
- Possible parameters:
- x = 0 ... 15 sensitivity threshold level.
- (default 0 , I4L soft-decode)
- (1-15 soft-decode off, hardware on)
- y = 0 ... 255 tone duration in units of 5ms.
- Not for I4L soft decode (default 8, 40ms)
- AT+VDD=? Report possible parameters.
- AT+VDD? Show current parameters.
-
- AT+VSM=x Select audio data format.
- Possible parameters:
- 2 = ADPCM-2
- 3 = ADPCM-3
- 4 = ADPCM-4
- 5 = aLAW
- 6 = uLAW
- AT+VSM=? Show possible audio formats.
-
- AT+VTX Start audio playback. Emulator responds
- with CONNECT and starts sending audio data
- received from the application via phone line.
-General behavior and description of data formats/protocol.
- when a connection is made:
-
- On incoming calls, if the application responds to a RING
- with ATA, depending on the calling service, the emulator
- responds with either CONNECT (data call) or VCON (voice call).

-Description of the "concap" encapsulation protocol interface
-============================================================
-
-The "concap" interface is intended to be used by network device
-drivers that need to process an encapsulation protocol.
-It is assumed that the protocol interacts with a linux network device by
-- data transmission
-- connection control (establish, release)
-Thus, the mnemonic: "CONnection CONtrolling eNCAPsulation Protocol".
-
-This is currently only used inside the isdn subsystem. But it might
-also be useful to other kinds of network devices. Thus, if you want
-to suggest changes that improve usability or performance of the
-interface, please let me know. I'm willing to include them in future
-releases (even if I needed to adapt the current isdn code to the
-changed interface).
-
-
-Why is this useful?
-===================
-
-The encapsulation protocol used on top of WAN connections or permanent
-point-to-point links are frequently chosen upon bilateral agreement.
-Thus, a device driver for a certain type of hardware must support
-several different encapsulation protocols at once.
-
-The isdn device driver did already support several different
-encapsulation protocols. The encapsulation protocol is configured by a
-user space utility (isdnctrl). The isdn network interface code then
-uses several case statements which select appropriate actions
-depending on the currently configured encapsulation protocol.
-
-In contrast, LAN network interfaces always used a single encapsulation
-protocol which is unique to the hardware type of the interface. The LAN
-encapsulation is usually done by just sticking a header on the data. Thus,
-traditional linux network device drivers used to process the
-encapsulation protocol directly (usually by just providing a hard_header()
-method in the device structure) using some hardware type specific support
-functions. This is simple, direct and efficient. But it doesn't fit all
-the requirements for complex WAN encapsulations.
-
-
- The configurability of the encapsulation protocol to be used
- makes isdn network interfaces more flexible, but also much more
- complex than traditional lan network interfaces.
-
-
-Many Encapsulation protocols used on top of WAN connections will not just
-stick a header on the data. They also might need to set up or release
-the WAN connection. They also might want to send other data for their
-private purpose over the wire, e.g. ppp does a lot of link level
-negotiation before the first piece of user data can be transmitted.
-Such encapsulation protocols for WAN devices are typically more complex
-than encapsulation protocols for lan devices. Thus, network interface
-code for typical WAN devices also tends to be more complex.
-
-
-In order to support Linux' x25 PLP implementation on top of
-isdn network interfaces I could have introduced yet another branch to
-the various case statements inside drivers/isdn/isdn_net.c.
-This eventually made isdn_net.c even more complex. In addition, it made
-isdn_net.c harder to maintain. Thus, by identifying an abstract
-interface between the network interface code and the encapsulation
-protocol, complexity could be reduced and maintainability could be
-increased.
-
-
-Likewise, a similar encapsulation protocol will frequently be needed by
-several different interfaces of even different hardware type, e.g. the
-synchronous ppp implementation used by the isdn driver and the
-asynchronous ppp implementation used by the ppp driver have a lot of
-similar code in them. By cleanly separating the encapsulation protocol
-from the hardware specific interface stuff such code could be shared
-better in future.
-
-
-When operating over dial-up-connections (e.g. telephone lines via modem,
-non-permanent virtual circuits of wide area networks, ISDN) many
-encapsulation protocols will need to control the connection. Therefore,
-some basic connection control primitives are supported. The type and
-semantics of the connection (i.e the ISO layer where connection service
-is provided) is outside our scope and might be different depending on
-the encapsulation protocol used, e.g. for a ppp module using our service
-on top of a modem connection a connect_request will result in dialing
-a (somewhere else configured) remote phone number. For an X25-interface
-module (LAPB semantics, as defined in Documentation/networking/x25-iface.txt)
-a connect_request will ask for establishing a reliable lapb
-datalink connection.
-
-
-The encapsulation protocol currently provides the following
-service primitives to the network device.
-
-- create a new encapsulation protocol instance
-- delete encapsulation protocol instance and free all its resources
-- initialize (open) the encapsulation protocol instance for use.
-- deactivate (close) an encapsulation protocol instance.
-- process (xmit) data handed down by upper protocol layer
-- receive data from lower (hardware) layer
-- process connect indication from lower (hardware) layer
-- process disconnect indication from lower (hardware) layer
-
-
-The network interface driver accesses those primitives via callbacks
-provided by the encapsulation protocol instance within a
-struct concap_proto_ops.
-
-struct concap_proto_ops{
-
- /* create a new encapsulation protocol instance of same type */
- struct concap_proto * (*proto_new) (void);
-
- /* delete encapsulation protocol instance and free all its resources.
- cprot may no longer be referenced after calling this */
- void (*proto_del)(struct concap_proto *cprot);
-
- /* initialize the protocol's data. To be called at interface startup
- or when the device driver resets the interface. All services of the
- encapsulation protocol may be used after this*/
- int (*restart)(struct concap_proto *cprot,
- struct net_device *ndev,
- struct concap_device_ops *dops);
-
- /* deactivate an encapsulation protocol instance. The encapsulation
- protocol may not call any *dops methods after this. */
- int (*close)(struct concap_proto *cprot);
-
- /* process a frame handed down to us by upper layer */
- int (*encap_and_xmit)(struct concap_proto *cprot, struct sk_buff *skb);
-
- /* to be called for each data entity received from lower layer*/
- int (*data_ind)(struct concap_proto *cprot, struct sk_buff *skb);
-
- /* to be called when a connection was set up/down.
- Protocols that don't process these primitives might fill in
- dummy methods here */
- int (*connect_ind)(struct concap_proto *cprot);
- int (*disconn_ind)(struct concap_proto *cprot);
-};
-
-
-The data structures are defined in the header file include/linux/concap.h.
-
-
-A Network interface using encapsulation protocols must also provide
-some service primitives to the encapsulation protocol:
-
-- request data being submitted by lower layer (device hardware)
-- request a connection being set up by lower layer
-- request a connection being released by lower layer
-
-The encapsulation protocol accesses those primitives via callbacks
-provided by the network interface within a struct concap_device_ops.
-
-struct concap_device_ops{
-
- /* to request data be submitted by device */
- int (*data_req)(struct concap_proto *, struct sk_buff *);
-
- /* Control methods must be set to NULL by devices which do not
- support connection control. */
- /* to request a connection be set up */
- int (*connect_req)(struct concap_proto *);
-
- /* to request a connection be released */
- int (*disconn_req)(struct concap_proto *);
-};
-
-The network interface does not explicitly provide a receive service
-because the encapsulation protocol directly calls netif_rx().
-
-
-
-
-An encapsulation protocol itself is actually the
-struct concap_proto{
- struct net_device *net_dev; /* net device using our service */
- struct concap_device_ops *dops; /* callbacks provided by device */
- struct concap_proto_ops *pops; /* callbacks provided by us */
- int flags;
- void *proto_data; /* protocol specific private data, to
- be accessed via *pops methods only*/
- /*
- :
- whatever
- :
- */
-};
-
-Most of this is filled in when the device requests the protocol to
-be reset (opend). The network interface must provide the net_dev and
-dops pointers. Other concap_proto members should be considered private
-data that are only accessed by the pops callback functions. Likewise,
-a concap proto should access the network device's private data
-only by means of the callbacks referred to by the dops pointer.
-
-
-A possible extended device structure which uses the connection controlling
-encapsulation services could look like this:
-
-struct concap_device{
- struct net_device net_dev;
- struct my_priv /* device->local stuff */
- /* the my_priv struct might contain a
- struct concap_device_ops *dops;
- to provide the device specific callbacks
- */
- struct concap_proto *cprot; /* callbacks provided by protocol */
-};
-
-
-
-Misc Thoughts
-=============
-
-The concept of the concap proto might help to reuse protocol code and
-reduce the complexity of certain network interface implementations.
-The trade off is that it introduces yet another procedure call layer
-when processing the protocol. This has of course some impact on
-performance. However, typically the concap interface will be used by
-devices attached to slow lines (like telephone, isdn, leased synchronous
-lines). For such slow lines, the overhead is probably negligible.
-This might no longer hold for certain high speed WAN links (like
-ATM).
-
-
-If general linux network interfaces explicitly supported concap
-protocols (e.g. by a member struct concap_proto* in struct net_device)
-then the interface of the service function could be changed
-by passing a pointer of type (struct net_device*) instead of
-type (struct concap_proto*). Doing so would make many of the service
-functions compatible to network device support functions.
-
-e.g. instead of the concap protocol's service function
-
- int (*encap_and_xmit)(struct concap_proto *cprot, struct sk_buff *skb);
-
-we could have
-
- int (*encap_and_xmit)(struct net_device *ndev, struct sk_buff *skb);
-
-As this is compatible to the dev->hard_start_xmit() method, the device
-driver could directly register the concap protocol's encap_and_xmit()
-function as its hard_start_xmit() method. This would eliminate one
-procedure call layer.
-
-
-The device's data request function could also be defined as
-
- int (*data_req)(struct net_device *ndev, struct sk_buff *skb);
-
-This might even allow for some protocol stacking. And the network
-interface might even register the same data_req() function directly
-as its hard_start_xmit() method when a zero layer encapsulation
-protocol is configured. Thus, eliminating the performance penalty
-of the concap interface when a trivial concap protocol is used.
-Nevertheless, the device remains able to support encapsulation
-protocol configuration.

-1. Features of the i4l diversion services
- (Or what can the i4l diversion services do for me)
-
- The i4l diversion services offers call forwarding and logging normally
- only supported by isdn phones. Incoming calls may be diverted
- unconditionally (CFU), when not reachable (CFNR) or on busy condition
- (CFB).
- The diversions may be invoked statically in the providers exchange
- as normally done by isdn phones. In this case all incoming calls
- with a special (or all) service identifiers are forwarded if the
- forwarding reason is met. Activated static services may also be
- interrogated (queried).
- The i4l diversion services additionally offers a dynamic version of
- call forwarding which is not preprogrammed inside the providers exchange
- but dynamically activated by i4l.
- In this case all incoming calls are checked by rules that may be
- compared to the mechanism of ipfwadm or ipchains. If a given rule matches
- the checking process is finished and the rule matching will be applied
- to the call.
- The rules include primary and secondary service identifiers, called
- number and subaddress, callers number and subaddress and whether the rule
- matches to all filtered calls or only those when all B-channel resources
- are exhausted.
- Actions that may be invoked by a rule are ignore, proceed, reject,
- direct divert or delayed divert of a call.
- All incoming calls matching a rule except the ignore rule a reported and
- logged as ASCII via the proc filesystem (/proc/net/isdn/divert). If proceed
- is selected the call will be held in a proceeding state (without ringing)
- for a certain amount of time to let an external program or client decide
- how to handle the call.
-
-
-2. Required hard- and software
-
- For using the i4l diversion services the isdn line must be of a EURO/DSS1
- type. Additionally the i4l services only work together with the HiSax
- driver for passive isdn cards. All HiSax supported cards may be used for
- the diversion purposes.
- The static diversion services require the provider having static services
- CFU, CFNR, CFB activated on an MSN-line. The static services may not be
- used on a point-to-point connection. Further the static services are only
- available in some countries (for example germany). Countries requiring the
- keypad protocol for activating static diversions (like the netherlands) are
- not supported but may use the tty devices for this purpose.
- The dynamic diversion services may be used in all countries if the provider
- enables the feature CF (call forwarding). This should work on both MSN- and
- point-to-point lines.
- To add and delete rules the additional divertctrl program is needed. This
- program is part of the isdn4kutils package.
-
-3. Compiling, installing and loading/unloading the module
- Tracing calling and diversion information
-
-
- To compile the i4l code with diversion support you need to say yes to the
- DSS1 diversion services when selecting the i4l options in the kernel
- config (menuconfig or config).
- After having properly activated a make modules and make modules_install all
- required modules will be correctly installed in the needed modules dirs.
- As the diversion services are currently not included in the scripts of most
- standard distributions you will have to add a "insmod dss1_divert" after
- having loaded the global isdn module.
- The module can be loaded without any command line parameters.
- If the module is actually loaded and active may be checked with a
- "cat /proc/modules" or "ls /proc/net/isdn/divert". The divert file is
- dynamically created by the diversion module and removed when the module is
- unloaded.
-
-
-4. Tracing calling and diversion information
-
- You also may put a "cat /proc/net/isdn/divert" in the background with the
- output redirected to a file. Then all actions of the module are logged.
- The divert file in the proc system may be opened more than once, so in
- conjunction with inetd and a small remote client on other machines inside
- your network incoming calls and reactions by the module may be shown on
- every listening machine.
- If a call is reported as proceeding an external program or client may
- specify during a certain amount of time (normally 4 to 10 seconds) what
- to do with that call.
- To unload the module all open files to the device in the proc system must
- be closed. Otherwise the module (and isdn.o) may not be unloaded.
-
-5. Format of the divert device ASCII output
-
- To be done later

--------------------------------
-Sync PPP is just another encapsulation for isdn4linux. The
-name to enable sync PPP encapsulation is 'syncppp' .. e.g:
-
- /sbin/isdnctrl encap ippp0 syncppp
-
-The name of the interface is here 'ippp0'. You need
-one interface with the name 'ippp0' to saturate the
-ipppd, which checks the ppp version via this interface.
-Currently, all devices must have the name ipppX where
-'X' is a decimal value.
-
-To set up a PPP connection you need the ipppd .. You must start
-the ipppd once after installing the modules. The ipppd
-communicates with the isdn4linux link-level driver using the

-all devices at once. If you want to use two PPP connections
-at the same time, you have to connect the ipppd to two
-devices .. and so on.
-I've implemented one additional option for the ipppd:
- 'useifip' will get (if set to not 0.0.0.0) the IP address
- for the negotiation from the attached network-interface.
-(also: ipppd will try to negotiate pointopoint IP as remote IP)
-You must disable BSD-compression, this implementation can't
-handle compressed packets.
-
-Check the etc/rc.isdn.syncppp in the isdn4kernel-util package

-X.25 support within isdn4linux
-==============================
-
-This is alpha/beta test code. Use it completely at your own risk.
-As new versions appear, the stuff described here might suddenly change
-or become invalid without notice.
-
-Keep in mind:
-
-You are using several new parts of the 2.2.x kernel series which
-have not been tested in a large scale. Therefore, you might encounter
-more bugs as usual.
-
-- If you connect to an X.25 neighbour not operated by yourself, ASK the
- other side first. Be prepared that bugs in the protocol implementation
- might result in problems.
-
-- This implementation has never wiped out my whole hard disk yet. But as
- this is experimental code, don't blame me if that happened to you.
- Backing up important data will never harm.
-
-- Monitor your isdn connections while using this software. This should
- prevent you from undesired phone bills in case of driver problems.
-
-
-
-
-How to configure the kernel
-===========================
-
-The ITU-T (former CCITT) X.25 network protocol layer has been implemented
-in the Linux source tree since version 2.1.16. The isdn subsystem might be
-useful to run X.25 on top of ISDN. If you want to try it, select
-
- "CCITT X.25 Packet Layer"
-
-from the networking options as well as
-
- "ISDN Support" and "X.25 PLP on Top of ISDN"
-
-from the ISDN subsystem options when you configure your kernel for
-compilation. You currently also need to enable
-"Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers" from the
-"Code maturity level options" menu. For the x25trace utility to work
-you also need to enable "Packet socket".
-
-For local testing it is also recommended to enable the isdnloop driver
-from the isdn subsystem's configuration menu.
-
-For testing, it is recommended that all isdn drivers and the X.25 PLP
-protocol are compiled as loadable modules. Like this, you can recover
-from certain errors by simply unloading and reloading the modules.
-
-
-
-What's it for? How to use it?
-=============================
-
-X.25 on top of isdn might be useful with two different scenarios:
-
-- You might want to access a public X.25 data network from your Linux box.
- You can use i4l if you were physically connected to the X.25 switch
- by an ISDN B-channel (leased line as well as dial up connection should
- work).
-
- This corresponds to ITU-T recommendation X.31 Case A (circuit-mode
- access to PSPDN [packet switched public data network]).
-
- NOTE: X.31 also covers a Case B (access to PSPDN via virtual
- circuit / packet mode service). The latter mode (which in theory
- also allows using the D-channel) is not supported by isdn4linux.
- It should however be possible to establish such packet mode connections
- with certain active isdn cards provided that the firmware supports X.31
- and the driver exports this functionality to the user. Currently,
- the AVM B1 driver is the only driver which does so. (It should be
- possible to access D-channel X.31 with active AVM cards using the
- CAPI interface of the AVM-B1 driver).
-
-- Or you might want to operate certain ISDN teleservices on your linux
- box. A lot of those teleservices run on top of the ISO-8208
- (DTE-DTE mode) network layer protocol. ISO-8208 is essentially the
- same as ITU-T X.25.
-
- Popular candidates of such teleservices are EUROfile transfer or any
- teleservice applying ITU-T recommendation T.90.
-
-To use the X.25 protocol on top of isdn, just create an isdn network
-interface as usual, configure your own and/or peer's ISDN numbers,
-and choose x25iface encapsulation by
-
- isdnctrl encap <iface-name> x25iface.
-
-Once encap is set like this, the device can be used by the X.25 packet layer.
-
-All the stuff needed for X.25 is implemented inside the isdn link
-level (mainly isdn_net.c and some new source files). Thus, it should
-work with every existing HL driver. I was able to successfully open X.25
-connections on top of the isdnloop driver and the hisax driver.
-"x25iface"-encapsulation bypasses demand dialing. Dialing will be
-initiated when the upper (X.25 packet) layer requests the lapb datalink to
-be established. But hangup timeout is still active. Whenever a hangup
-occurs, all existing X.25 connections on that link will be cleared
-It is recommended to use sufficiently large hangup-timeouts for the
-isdn interfaces.
-
-
-In order to set up a conforming protocol stack you also need to
-specify the proper l2_prot parameter:
-
-To operate in ISO-8208 X.25 DTE-DTE mode, use
-
- isdnctrl l2_prot <iface-name> x75i
-
-To access an X.25 network switch via isdn (your linux box is the DTE), use
-
- isdnctrl l2_prot <iface-name> x25dte
-
-To mimic an X.25 network switch (DCE side of the connection), use
-
- isdnctrl l2_prot <iface-name> x25dce
-
-However, x25dte or x25dce is currently not supported by any real HL
-level driver. The main difference between x75i and x25dte/dce is that
-x25d[tc]e uses fixed lap_b addresses. With x75i, the side which
-initiates the isdn connection uses the DTE's lap_b address while the
-called side used the DCE's lap_b address. Thus, l2_prot x75i might
-probably work if you access a public X.25 network as long as the
-corresponding isdn connection is set up by you. At least one test
-was successful to connect via isdn4linux to an X.25 switch using this
-trick. At the switch side, a terminal adapter X.21 was used to connect
-it to the isdn.
-
-
-How to set up a test installation?
-==================================
-
-To test X.25 on top of isdn, you need to get
-
-- a recent version of the "isdnctrl" program that supports setting the new
- X.25 specific parameters.
-
-- the x25-utils-2.X package from
- ftp://ftp.hes.iki.fi/pub/ham/linux/ax25/x25utils-*
- (don't confuse the x25-utils with the ax25-utils)
-
-- an application program that uses linux PF_X25 sockets (some are
- contained in the x25-util package).
-
-Before compiling the user level utilities make sure that the compiler/
-preprocessor will fetch the proper kernel header files of this kernel
-source tree. Either make /usr/include/linux a symbolic link pointing to
-this kernel's include/linux directory or set the appropriate compiler flags.
-
-When all drivers and interfaces are loaded and configured you need to
-ifconfig the network interfaces up and add X.25-routes to them. Use
-the usual ifconfig tool.
-
-ifconfig <iface-name> up
-
-But a special x25route tool (distributed with the x25-util package)
-is needed to set up X.25 routes. I.e.
-
-x25route add 01 <iface-name>
-
-will cause all x.25 connections to the destination X.25-address
-"01" to be routed to your created isdn network interface.
-
-There are currently no real X.25 applications available. However, for
-tests, the x25-utils package contains a modified version of telnet
-and telnetd that uses X.25 sockets instead of tcp/ip sockets. You can
-use those for your first tests. Furthermore, you might check
-ftp://ftp.hamburg.pop.de/pub/LOCAL/linux/i4l-eft/ which contains some
-alpha-test implementation ("eftp4linux") of the EUROfile transfer
-protocol.
-
-The scripts distributed with the eftp4linux test releases might also
-provide useful examples for setting up X.25 on top of isdn.
-
-The x25-utility package also contains an x25trace tool that can be
-used to monitor X.25 packets received by the network interfaces.
-The /proc/net/x25* files also contain useful information.

-simple isdn4linux PPP FAQ .. to be continued .. not 'debugged'
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Q01: what's pppd, ipppd, syncPPP, asyncPPP ??
-Q02: error message "this system lacks PPP support"
-Q03: strange information using 'ifconfig'
-Q04: MPPP?? What's that and how can I use it ...
-Q05: I tried MPPP but it doesn't work
-Q06: can I use asynchronous PPP encapsulation with network devices
-Q07: A SunISDN machine can't connect to my i4l system
-Q08: I wanna talk to several machines, which need different configs
-Q09: Starting the ipppd, I get only error messages from i4l
-Q10: I wanna use dynamic IP address assignment
-Q11: I can't connect. How can I check where the problem is.
-Q12: How can I reduce login delay?
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Q01: pppd, ipppd, syncPPP, asyncPPP .. what is that ?
- what should I use?
-A: The pppd is for asynchronous PPP .. asynchronous means
- here, the framing is character based. (e.g when
- using ttyI* or tty* devices)
-
- The ipppd handles PPP packets coming in HDLC
- frames (bit based protocol) ... The PPP driver
- in isdn4linux pushes all IP packets direct
- to the network layer and all PPP protocol
- frames to the /dev/ippp* device.
- So, the ipppd is a simple external network
- protocol handler.
-
- If you login into a remote machine using the
- /dev/ttyI* devices and then enable PPP on the
- remote terminal server -> use the 'old' pppd
-
- If your remote side immediately starts to send
- frames ... you probably connect to a
- syncPPP machine .. use the network device part
- of isdn4linux with the 'syncppp' encapsulation
- and make sure, that the ipppd is running and
- connected to at least one /dev/ippp*. Check the
- isdn4linux manual on how to configure a network device.
-
---
-
-Q02: when I start the ipppd .. I only get the
- error message "this system lacks PPP support"
-A: check that at least the device 'ippp0' exists.
- (you can check this e.g with the program 'ifconfig')
- The ipppd NEEDS this device under THIS name ..
- If this device doesn't exists, use:
- isdnctrl addif ippp0
- isdnctrl encap ippp0 syncppp
- ... (see isdn4linux doc for more) ...
-A: Maybe you have compiled the ipppd with another
- kernel source tree than the kernel you currently
- run ...
-
---
-
-Q03: when I list the netdevices with ifconfig I see, that
- my ISDN interface has a HWaddr and IRQ=0 and Base
- address = 0
-A: The device is a fake ethernet device .. ignore IRQ and baseaddr
- You need the HWaddr only for ethernet encapsulation.
-
---
-
-Q04: MPPP?? What's that and how can I use it ...
-
-A: MPPP or MP or MPP (Warning: MP is also an
- acronym for 'Multi Processor') stands for
- Multi Point to Point and means bundling
- of several channels to one logical stream.
- To enable MPPP negotiation you must call the
- ipppd with the '+mp' option.
- You must also configure a slave device for
- every additional channel. (see the i4l manual
- for more)
- To use channel bundling you must first activate
- the 'master' or initial call. Now you can add
- the slave channels with the command:
- isdnctrl addlink <device>
- e.g:
- isdnctrl addlink ippp0
- This is different from other encapsulations of
- isdn4linux! With syncPPP, there is no automatic
- activation of slave devices.
-
---
-
-Q05: I tried MPPP but it doesn't work .. the ipppd
- writes in the debug log something like:
- .. rcvd [0][proto=0x3d] c0 00 00 00 80 fd 01 01 00 0a ...
- .. sent [0][LCP ProtRej id=0x2 00 3d c0 00 00 00 80 fd 01 ...
-
-A: you forgot to compile MPPP/RFC1717 support into the
- ISDN Subsystem. Recompile with this option enabled.
-
---
-
-Q06: can I use asynchronous PPP encapsulation
- over the network interface of isdn4linux ..
-
-A: No .. that's not possible .. Use the standard
- PPP package over the /dev/ttyI* devices. You
- must not use the ipppd for this.
-
---
-
-Q07: A SunISDN machine tries to connect my i4l system,
- which doesn't work.
- Checking the debug log I just saw garbage like:
-!![ ... fill in the line ... ]!!
-
-A: The Sun tries to talk asynchronous PPP ... i4l
- can't understand this ... try to use the ttyI*
- devices with the standard PPP/pppd package
-
-A: (from Alexanter Strauss: )
-!![ ... fill in mail ]!!
-
---
-
-Q08: I wanna talk to remote machines, which need
- a different configuration. The only way
- I found to do this is to kill the ipppd and
- start a new one with another config to connect
- to the second machine.
-
-A: you must bind a network interface explicitly to
- an ippp device, where you can connect a (for this
- interface) individually configured ipppd.
-
---
-
-Q09: When I start the ipppd I only get error messages
- from the i4l driver ..
-
-A: When starting, the ipppd calls functions which may
- trigger a network packet. (e.g gethostbyname()).
- Without the ipppd (at this moment, it is not
- fully started) we can't handle this network request.
- Try to configure hostnames necessary for the ipppd
- in your local /etc/hosts file or in a way, that
- your system can resolve it without using an
- isdn/ippp network-interface.
-
---
-
-Q10: I wanna use dynamic IP address assignment ... How
- must I configure the network device.
-
-A: At least you must have a route which forwards
- a packet to the ippp network-interface to trigger
- the dial-on-demand.
- A default route to the ippp-interface will work.
- Now you must choose a dummy IP address for your
- interface.
- If for some reason you can't set the default
- route to the ippp interface, you may take any
- address of the subnet from which you expect your
- dynamic IP number and set a 'network route' for
- this subnet to the ippp interface.
- To allow overriding of the dummy address you
- must call the ipppd with the 'ipcp-accept-local' option.
-
-A: You must know, how the ipppd gets the addresses it wanna
- configure. If you don't give any option, the ipppd
- tries to negotiate the local host address!
- With the option 'noipdefault' it requests an address
- from the remote machine. With 'useifip' it gets the
- addresses from the net interface. Or you set the address
- on the option line with the <a.b.c.d:e.f.g.h> option.
- Note: the IP address of the remote machine must be configured
- locally or the remote machine must send it in an IPCP request.
- If your side doesn't know the IP address after negotiation, it
- closes the connection!
- You must allow overriding of address with the 'ipcp-accept-*'
- options, if you have set your own or the remote address
- explicitly.
-
-A: Maybe you try these options .. e.g:
-
- /sbin/ipppd :$REMOTE noipdefault /dev/ippp0
-
- where REMOTE must be the address of the remote machine (the
- machine, which gives you your address)
-
---
-
-Q11: I can't connect. How can I check where the problem is.
-
-A: A good help log is the debug output from the ipppd...
- Check whether you can find there:
- - only a few LCP-conf-req SENT messages (less then 10)
- and then a Term-REQ:
- -> check whether your ISDN card is well configured
- it seems, that your machine doesn't dial
- (IRQ,IO,Proto, etc problems)
- Configure your ISDN card to print debug messages and
- check the /dev/isdnctrl output next time. There
- you can see, whether there is activity on the card/line.
- - there are at least a few RECV messages in the log:
- -> fine: your card is dialing and your remote machine
- tries to talk with you. Maybe only a missing
- authentication. Check your ipppd configuration again.
- - the ipppd exits for some reason:
- -> not good ... check /var/adm/syslog and /var/adm/daemon.
- Could be a bug in the ipppd.
-
---
-
-Q12: How can I reduce login delay?
-
-A: Log a login session ('debug' log) and check which options
- your remote side rejects. Next time configure your ipppd
- to not negotiate these options. Another 'side effect' is, that
- this increases redundancy. (e.g your remote side is buggy and
- rejects options in a wrong way).

+Kbuild uses a relative path to point to the tree when possible. For instance,
+when building in the source tree, the source tree path is '.'
+
+Setting this flag requests Kbuild to use absolute path to the source tree.
+There are some useful cases to do so, like when generating tag files with
+absolute path entries etc.
+
+KBUILD_SIGN_PIN
+---------------
This variable allows a passphrase or PIN to be passed to the sign-file
utility when signing kernel modules, if the private key requires such.
KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN
---------------------------------------------------
+-------------------
KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN can be set to avoid errors in case of undefined
symbols in the final module linking stage. It changes such errors
into warnings.
KBUILD_MODPOST_NOFINAL
---------------------------------------------------
+----------------------
KBUILD_MODPOST_NOFINAL can be set to skip the final link of modules.
This is solely useful to speed up test compiles.
KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS
---------------------------------------------------
+--------------------
For modules that use symbols from other modules.
See more details in modules.txt.
ALLSOURCE_ARCHS
---------------------------------------------------
+---------------
For tags/TAGS/cscope targets, you can specify more than one arch
-to be included in the databases, separated by blank space. E.g.:
+to be included in the databases, separated by blank space. E.g.::
$ make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS="x86 mips arm" tags
-To get all available archs you can also specify all. E.g.:
+To get all available archs you can also specify all. E.g.::
$ make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS=all tags
KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS
---------------------------------------------------
+------------------------------
If enabled over the make command line with "W=1", it turns on additional
gcc -W... options for more extensive build-time checking.
KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP
---------------------------------------------------
+----------------------
Setting this to a date string overrides the timestamp used in the
UTS_VERSION definition (uname -v in the running kernel). The value has to
be a string that can be passed to date -d. The default value
is the output of the date command at one point during build.
KBUILD_BUILD_USER, KBUILD_BUILD_HOST
---------------------------------------------------
+------------------------------------
These two variables allow to override the user@host string displayed during
boot and in /proc/version. The default value is the output of the commands
whoami and host, respectively.
KBUILD_LDS
---------------------------------------------------
+----------
The linker script with full path. Assigned by the top-level Makefile.
KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS
---------------------------------------------------
+-------------------
All object files for vmlinux. They are linked to vmlinux in the same
order as listed in KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS.
KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS
---------------------------------------------------
+-------------------
All .a "lib" files for vmlinux. KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS and KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS
together specify all the object files used to link vmlinux.

Description
-----------
There are 3 functions in LM3556, Flash, Torch and Indicator.
-FLASH MODE
+Flash Mode
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
In Flash Mode, the LED current source(LED) provides 16 target current levels
from 93.75 mA to 1500 mA.The Flash currents are adjusted via the CURRENT
CONTROL REGISTER(0x09).Flash mode is activated by the ENABLE REGISTER(0x0A),
or by pulling the STROBE pin HIGH.
+
LM3556 Flash can be controlled through sys/class/leds/flash/brightness file
+
* if STROBE pin is enabled, below example control brightness only, and
-ON / OFF will be controlled by STROBE pin.
+ ON / OFF will be controlled by STROBE pin.
Flash Example:
-OFF : #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
-93.75 mA: #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
-... .....
-1500 mA: #echo 16 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
-TORCH MODE
+OFF::
+
+ #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
+
+93.75 mA::
+
+ #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
+
+...
+
+1500 mA::
+
+ #echo 16 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
+
+Torch Mode
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
In Torch Mode, the current source(LED) is programmed via the CURRENT CONTROL
REGISTER(0x09).Torch Mode is activated by the ENABLE REGISTER(0x0A) or by the
hardware TORCH input.
+
LM3556 torch can be controlled through sys/class/leds/torch/brightness file.
* if TORCH pin is enabled, below example control brightness only,
and ON / OFF will be controlled by TORCH pin.
Torch Example:
-OFF : #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
-46.88 mA: #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
-... .....
-375 mA : #echo 8 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
-INDICATOR MODE
+OFF::
+
+ #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
+
+46.88 mA::
+
+ #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
+
+...
+
+375 mA::
+
+ #echo 8 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
+
+Indicator Mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
Indicator pattern can be set through sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern file,
and 4 patterns are pre-defined in indicator_pattern array.
+
According to N-lank, Pulse time and N Period values, different pattern wiill
be generated.If you want new patterns for your own device, change
indicator_pattern array with your own values and INDIC_PATTERN_SIZE.
+
Please refer datasheet for more detail about N-Blank, Pulse time and N Period.
Indicator pattern example:
-pattern 0: #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern
-....
-pattern 3: #echo 3 > sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern
+
+pattern 0::
+
+ #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern
+
+...
+
+pattern 3::
+
+ #echo 3 > sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern
Indicator brightness can be controlled through
sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness file.
Example:
-OFF : #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness
-5.86 mA : #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness
-........
-46.875mA : #echo 8 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness
+
+OFF::
+
+ #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness
+
+5.86 mA::

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+LP5521 can drive up to 3 channels. Leds can be controlled directly via
+the led class control interface. Channels have generic names:
+lp5521:channelx, where x is 0 .. 2
+
+All three channels can be also controlled using the engine micro programs.
+More details of the instructions can be found from the public data sheet.
+
+LP5521 has the internal program memory for running various LED patterns.
+There are two ways to run LED patterns.
+
+1) Legacy interface - enginex_mode and enginex_load
+ Control interface for the engines:
+
+ x is 1 .. 3
+
+ enginex_mode:
+ disabled, load, run
+ enginex_load:
+ store program (visible only in engine load mode)
+
+ Example (start to blink the channel 2 led)::
+
+ cd /sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel2/device
+ echo "load" > engine3_mode
+ echo "037f4d0003ff6000" > engine3_load
+ echo "run" > engine3_mode
+
+ To stop the engine::
+
+ echo "disabled" > engine3_mode
+
+2) Firmware interface - LP55xx common interface
+
+For the details, please refer to 'firmware' section in leds-lp55xx.txt
+
+sysfs contains a selftest entry.
+
+The test communicates with the chip and checks that
+the clock mode is automatically set to the requested one.
+
+Each channel has its own led current settings.

+-----------
+LP5523 can drive up to 9 channels. Leds can be controlled directly via

+The name of each channel is configurable in the platform data - name and label.
+There are three options to make the channel name.
+
+a) Define the 'name' in the platform data
+
+To make specific channel name, then use 'name' platform data.
+
+- /sys/class/leds/R1 (name: 'R1')
+- /sys/class/leds/B1 (name: 'B1')
+
+b) Use the 'label' with no 'name' field
+
+For one device name with channel number, then use 'label'.
+- /sys/class/leds/RGB:channelN (label: 'RGB', N: 0 ~ 8)

+
+Then, to have 25% of the original output on channel 0,6::

+Kernel driver for lp5562
+========================
+
+* TI LP5562 LED Driver
+
+Author: Milo(Woogyom) Kim <milo.kim@ti.com>
+
+Description
+===========
+
+ LP5562 can drive up to 4 channels. R/G/B and White.
+ LEDs can be controlled directly via the led class control interface.
+
+ All four channels can be also controlled using the engine micro programs.
+ LP5562 has the internal program memory for running various LED patterns.
+ For the details, please refer to 'firmware' section in leds-lp55xx.txt
+
+Device attribute
+================
+
+engine_mux
+ 3 Engines are allocated in LP5562, but the number of channel is 4.
+ Therefore each channel should be mapped to the engine number.
+
+ Value: RGB or W
+
+ This attribute is used for programming LED data with the firmware interface.
+ Unlike the LP5521/LP5523/55231, LP5562 has unique feature for the engine mux,
+ so additional sysfs is required
+
+ LED Map
+
+ ===== === ===============================
+ Red ... Engine 1 (fixed)
+ Green ... Engine 2 (fixed)
+ Blue ... Engine 3 (fixed)
+ White ... Engine 1 or 2 or 3 (selective)
+ ===== === ===============================
+
+How to load the program data using engine_mux
+=============================================
+
+ Before loading the LP5562 program data, engine_mux should be written between
+ the engine selection and loading the firmware.
+ Engine mux has two different mode, RGB and W.
+ RGB is used for loading RGB program data, W is used for W program data.
+
+ For example, run blinking green channel pattern::
+
+ echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine # 2 is for green channel
+ echo "RGB" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine_mux # engine mux for RGB
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/loading
+ echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/loading
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+ To run a blinking white pattern::
+
+ echo 1 or 2 or 3 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ echo "W" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine_mux
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/loading

+
+How to load the predefined patterns
+===================================
+
+ Please refer to 'leds-lp55xx.txt"
+
+Setting Current of Each Channel
+===============================
+
+ Like LP5521 and LP5523/55231, LP5562 provides LED current settings.
+ The 'led_current' and 'max_current' are used.
+
+Example of Platform data

+ },
+ {
+ .name = "W",
+ .chan_nr = 3,
+ .led_current = 20,
+ .max_current = 40,
+ },
+ };
+
+ static int lp5562_setup(void)
+ {
+ /* setup HW resources */
+ }
+
+ static void lp5562_release(void)
+ {
+ /* Release HW resources */
+ }

+ .setup_resources = lp5562_setup,
+ .release_resources = lp5562_release,
+ .enable = lp5562_enable,
+ };
+
+To configure the platform specific data, lp55xx_platform_data structure is used
+
+
+If the current is set to 0 in the platform data, that channel is
+disabled and it is not visible in the sysfs.

- The 'led_current' and 'max_current' are used.
-
-(Example of Platform data)
-
-To configure the platform specific data, lp55xx_platform_data structure is used.
-
-static struct lp55xx_led_config lp5562_led_config[] = {
- {

- .led_current = 20,
- .max_current = 40,
- },
-};
-
-static int lp5562_setup(void)
-{
- /* setup HW resources */
-}
-
-static void lp5562_release(void)

+LP5521/LP5523/LP55231/LP5562/LP8501 Common Driver
+=================================================
+
+Authors: Milo(Woogyom) Kim <milo.kim@ti.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+LP5521, LP5523/55231, LP5562 and LP8501 have common features as below.
+
+ Register access via the I2C
+ Device initialization/deinitialization
+ Create LED class devices for multiple output channels
+ Device attributes for user-space interface
+ Program memory for running LED patterns
+
+The LP55xx common driver provides these features using exported functions.
+
+ lp55xx_init_device() / lp55xx_deinit_device()
+ lp55xx_register_leds() / lp55xx_unregister_leds()
+ lp55xx_regsister_sysfs() / lp55xx_unregister_sysfs()
+
+( Driver Structure Data )
+
+In lp55xx common driver, two different data structure is used.
+
+* lp55xx_led
+ control multi output LED channels such as led current, channel index.
+* lp55xx_chip
+ general chip control such like the I2C and platform data.
+
+For example, LP5521 has maximum 3 LED channels.
+LP5523/55231 has 9 output channels::
+
+ lp55xx_chip for LP5521 ... lp55xx_led #1
+ lp55xx_led #2
+ lp55xx_led #3
+
+ lp55xx_chip for LP5523 ... lp55xx_led #1
+ lp55xx_led #2
+ .
+ .
+ lp55xx_led #9
+
+( Chip Dependent Code )
+
+To support device specific configurations, special structure
+'lpxx_device_config' is used.
+
+ - Maximum number of channels
+ - Reset command, chip enable command
+ - Chip specific initialization
+ - Brightness control register access
+ - Setting LED output current
+ - Program memory address access for running patterns
+ - Additional device specific attributes
+
+( Firmware Interface )
+
+LP55xx family devices have the internal program memory for running
+various LED patterns.
+
+This pattern data is saved as a file in the user-land or
+hex byte string is written into the memory through the I2C.
+
+LP55xx common driver supports the firmware interface.
+
+LP55xx chips have three program engines.
+
+To load and run the pattern, the programming sequence is following.
+
+ (1) Select an engine number (1/2/3)
+ (2) Mode change to load
+ (3) Write pattern data into selected area
+ (4) Mode change to run
+
+The LP55xx common driver provides simple interfaces as below.
+
+select_engine:
+ Select which engine is used for running program
+run_engine:
+ Start program which is loaded via the firmware interface
+firmware:
+ Load program data
+
+In case of LP5523, one more command is required, 'enginex_leds'.
+It is used for selecting LED output(s) at each engine number.
+In more details, please refer to 'leds-lp5523.txt'.
+
+For example, run blinking pattern in engine #1 of LP5521::
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
+ echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+For example, run blinking pattern in engine #3 of LP55231
+
+Two LEDs are configured as pattern output channels::
+
+ echo 3 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/loading
+ echo "9d0740ff7e0040007e00a0010000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/loading
+ echo "000001100" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine3_leds
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+To start blinking patterns in engine #2 and #3 simultaneously::
+
+ for idx in 2 3
+ do
+ echo $idx > /sys/class/leds/red/device/select_engine
+ sleep 0.1
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
+ echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
+ done
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/red/device/run_engine
+
+Here is another example for LP5523.
+
+Full LED strings are selected by 'engine2_leds'::
+
+ echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/loading
+ echo "9d80400004ff05ff437f0000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/loading
+ echo "111111111" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine2_leds
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+As soon as 'loading' is set to 0, registered callback is called.
+Inside the callback, the selected engine is loaded and memory is updated.
+To run programmed pattern, 'run_engine' attribute should be enabled.
+
+The pattern sequence of LP8501 is similar to LP5523.
+
+However pattern data is specific.
+
+Ex 1) Engine 1 is used::
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+ echo "9d0140ff7e0040007e00a001c000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+Ex 2) Engine 2 and 3 are used at the same time::
+
+ echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ sleep 1
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+ echo "9d0140ff7e0040007e00a001c000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+ sleep 1
+ echo 3 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ sleep 1
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+ echo "9d0340ff7e0040007e00a001c000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+ sleep 1
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/d1/device/run_engine
+
+( 'run_engine' and 'firmware_cb' )
+
+The sequence of running the program data is common.
+
+But each device has own specific register addresses for commands.
+
+To support this, 'run_engine' and 'firmware_cb' are configurable in each driver.
+
+run_engine:
+ Control the selected engine
+firmware_cb:
+ The callback function after loading the firmware is done.
+
+ Chip specific commands for loading and updating program memory.
+
+( Predefined pattern data )
+
+Without the firmware interface, LP55xx driver provides another method for
+loading a LED pattern. That is 'predefined' pattern.
+
+A predefined pattern is defined in the platform data and load it(or them)
+via the sysfs if needed.
+
+To use the predefined pattern concept, 'patterns' and 'num_patterns' should be
+configured.
+
+Example of predefined pattern data::
+
+ /* mode_1: blinking data */
+ static const u8 mode_1[] = {
+ 0x40, 0x00, 0x60, 0x00, 0x40, 0xFF, 0x60, 0x00,
+ };
+
+ /* mode_2: always on */
+ static const u8 mode_2[] = { 0x40, 0xFF, };
+
+ struct lp55xx_predef_pattern board_led_patterns[] = {
+ {
+ .r = mode_1,
+ .size_r = ARRAY_SIZE(mode_1),
+ },
+ {
+ .b = mode_2,
+ .size_b = ARRAY_SIZE(mode_2),
+ },
+ }
+
+ struct lp55xx_platform_data lp5562_pdata = {
+ ...
+ .patterns = board_led_patterns,
+ .num_patterns = ARRAY_SIZE(board_led_patterns),
+ };
+
+Then, mode_1 and mode_2 can be run via through the sysfs::
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern # red blinking LED pattern
+ echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern # blue LED always on
+
+To stop running pattern::
+
+ echo 0 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern

+====================
+Rebasing and merging
+====================
+
+Maintaining a subsystem, as a general rule, requires a familiarity with the
+Git source-code management system. Git is a powerful tool with a lot of
+features; as is often the case with such tools, there are right and wrong
+ways to use those features. This document looks in particular at the use
+of rebasing and merging. Maintainers often get in trouble when they use
+those tools incorrectly, but avoiding problems is not actually all that
+hard.
+
+One thing to be aware of in general is that, unlike many other projects,
+the kernel community is not scared by seeing merge commits in its
+development history. Indeed, given the scale of the project, avoiding
+merges would be nearly impossible. Some problems encountered by
+maintainers result from a desire to avoid merges, while others come from
+merging a little too often.
+
+Rebasing
+========
+
+"Rebasing" is the process of changing the history of a series of commits
+within a repository. There are two different types of operations that are
+referred to as rebasing since both are done with the ``git rebase``
+command, but there are significant differences between them:
+
+ - Changing the parent (starting) commit upon which a series of patches is
+ built. For example, a rebase operation could take a patch set built on
+ the previous kernel release and base it, instead, on the current
+ release. We'll call this operation "reparenting" in the discussion
+ below.
+
+ - Changing the history of a set of patches by fixing (or deleting) broken
+ commits, adding patches, adding tags to commit changelogs, or changing
+ the order in which commits are applied. In the following text, this
+ type of operation will be referred to as "history modification"
+
+The term "rebasing" will be used to refer to both of the above operations.
+Used properly, rebasing can yield a cleaner and clearer development
+history; used improperly, it can obscure that history and introduce bugs.
+
+There are a few rules of thumb that can help developers to avoid the worst
+perils of rebasing:
+
+ - History that has been exposed to the world beyond your private system
+ should usually not be changed. Others may have pulled a copy of your
+ tree and built on it; modifying your tree will create pain for them. If
+ work is in need of rebasing, that is usually a sign that it is not yet
+ ready to be committed to a public repository.
+
+ That said, there are always exceptions. Some trees (linux-next being
+ a significant example) are frequently rebased by their nature, and
+ developers know not to base work on them. Developers will sometimes
+ expose an unstable branch for others to test with or for automated
+ testing services. If you do expose a branch that may be unstable in
+ this way, be sure that prospective users know not to base work on it.
+
+ - Do not rebase a branch that contains history created by others. If you
+ have pulled changes from another developer's repository, you are now a
+ custodian of their history. You should not change it. With few
+ exceptions, for example, a broken commit in a tree like this should be
+ explicitly reverted rather than disappeared via history modification.
+
+ - Do not reparent a tree without a good reason to do so. Just being on a
+ newer base or avoiding a merge with an upstream repository is not
+ generally a good reason.
+
+ - If you must reparent a repository, do not pick some random kernel commit
+ as the new base. The kernel is often in a relatively unstable state
+ between release points; basing development on one of those points
+ increases the chances of running into surprising bugs. When a patch
+ series must move to a new base, pick a stable point (such as one of
+ the -rc releases) to move to.
+
+ - Realize that reparenting a patch series (or making significant history
+ modifications) changes the environment in which it was developed and,
+ likely, invalidates much of the testing that was done. A reparented
+ patch series should, as a general rule, be treated like new code and
+ retested from the beginning.
+
+A frequent cause of merge-window trouble is when Linus is presented with a
+patch series that has clearly been reparented, often to a random commit,
+shortly before the pull request was sent. The chances of such a series
+having been adequately tested are relatively low - as are the chances of
+the pull request being acted upon.
+
+If, instead, rebasing is limited to private trees, commits are based on a
+well-known starting point, and they are well tested, the potential for
+trouble is low.
+
+Merging
+=======
+
+Merging is a common operation in the kernel development process; the 5.1
+development cycle included 1,126 merge commits - nearly 9% of the total.
+Kernel work is accumulated in over 100 different subsystem trees, each of
+which may contain multiple topic branches; each branch is usually developed
+independently of the others. So naturally, at least one merge will be
+required before any given branch finds its way into an upstream repository.
+
+Many projects require that branches in pull requests be based on the
+current trunk so that no merge commits appear in the history. The kernel
+is not such a project; any rebasing of branches to avoid merges will, most
+likely, lead to trouble.
+
+Subsystem maintainers find themselves having to do two types of merges:
+from lower-level subsystem trees and from others, either sibling trees or
+the mainline. The best practices to follow differ in those two situations.
+
+Merging from lower-level trees
+------------------------------
+
+Larger subsystems tend to have multiple levels of maintainers, with the
+lower-level maintainers sending pull requests to the higher levels. Acting
+on such a pull request will almost certainly generate a merge commit; that
+is as it should be. In fact, subsystem maintainers may want to use
+the --no-ff flag to force the addition of a merge commit in the rare cases
+where one would not normally be created so that the reasons for the merge
+can be recorded. The changelog for the merge should, for any kind of
+merge, say *why* the merge is being done. For a lower-level tree, "why" is
+usually a summary of the changes that will come with that pull.
+
+Maintainers at all levels should be using signed tags on their pull
+requests, and upstream maintainers should verify the tags when pulling
+branches. Failure to do so threatens the security of the development
+process as a whole.
+
+As per the rules outlined above, once you have merged somebody else's
+history into your tree, you cannot rebase that branch, even if you
+otherwise would be able to.
+
+Merging from sibling or upstream trees
+--------------------------------------
+
+While merges from downstream are common and unremarkable, merges from other
+trees tend to be a red flag when it comes time to push a branch upstream.
+Such merges need to be carefully thought about and well justified, or
+there's a good chance that a subsequent pull request will be rejected.
+
+It is natural to want to merge the master branch into a repository; this
+type of merge is often called a "back merge". Back merges can help to make
+sure that there are no conflicts with parallel development and generally
+gives a warm, fuzzy feeling of being up-to-date. But this temptation
+should be avoided almost all of the time.
+
+Why is that? Back merges will muddy the development history of your own
+branch. They will significantly increase your chances of encountering bugs
+from elsewhere in the community and make it hard to ensure that the work
+you are managing is stable and ready for upstream. Frequent merges can
+also obscure problems with the development process in your tree; they can
+hide interactions with other trees that should not be happening (often) in
+a well-managed branch.
+
+That said, back merges are occasionally required; when that happens, be
+sure to document *why* it was required in the commit message. As always,
+merge to a well-known stable point, rather than to some random commit.
+Even then, you should not back merge a tree above your immediate upstream
+tree; if a higher-level back merge is really required, the upstream tree
+should do it first.
+
+One of the most frequent causes of merge-related trouble is when a
+maintainer merges with the upstream in order to resolve merge conflicts
+before sending a pull request. Again, this temptation is easy enough to
+understand, but it should absolutely be avoided. This is especially true
+for the final pull request: Linus is adamant that he would much rather see
+merge conflicts than unnecessary back merges. Seeing the conflicts lets
+him know where potential problem areas are. He does a lot of merges (382
+in the 5.1 development cycle) and has gotten quite good at conflict
+resolution - often better than the developers involved.
+
+So what should a maintainer do when there is a conflict between their
+subsystem branch and the mainline? The most important step is to warn
+Linus in the pull request that the conflict will happen; if nothing else,
+that demonstrates an awareness of how your branch fits into the whole. For
+especially difficult conflicts, create and push a *separate* branch to show
+how you would resolve things. Mention that branch in your pull request,
+but the pull request itself should be for the unmerged branch.
+
+Even in the absence of known conflicts, doing a test merge before sending a
+pull request is a good idea. It may alert you to problems that you somehow
+didn't see from linux-next and helps to understand exactly what you are
+asking upstream to do.
+
+Another reason for doing merges of upstream or another subsystem tree is to
+resolve dependencies. These dependency issues do happen at times, and
+sometimes a cross-merge with another tree is the best way to resolve them;
+as always, in such situations, the merge commit should explain why the
+merge has been done. Take a moment to do it right; people will read those
+changelogs.
+
+Often, though, dependency issues indicate that a change of approach is
+needed. Merging another subsystem tree to resolve a dependency risks
+bringing in other bugs and should almost never be done. If that subsystem
+tree fails to be pulled upstream, whatever problems it had will block the
+merging of your tree as well. Preferable alternatives include agreeing
+with the maintainer to carry both sets of changes in one of the trees or
+creating a topic branch dedicated to the prerequisite commits that can be
+merged into both trees. If the dependency is related to major
+infrastructural changes, the right solution might be to hold the dependent
+commits for one development cycle so that those changes have time to
+stabilize in the mainline.
+
+Finally
+=======
+
+It is relatively common to merge with the mainline toward the beginning of
+the development cycle in order to pick up changes and fixes done elsewhere
+in the tree. As always, such a merge should pick a well-known release
+point rather than some random spot. If your upstream-bound branch has
+emptied entirely into the mainline during the merge window, you can pull it
+forward with a command like::
+
+ git merge v5.2-rc1^0
+
+The "^0" will cause Git to do a fast-forward merge (which should be
+possible in this situation), thus avoiding the addition of a spurious merge
+commit.
+
+The guidelines laid out above are just that: guidelines. There will always
+be situations that call out for a different solution, and these guidelines
+should not prevent developers from doing the right thing when the need
+arises. But one should always think about whether the need has truly
+arisen and be prepared to explain why something abnormal needs to be done.

+Media Controller Device Allocator API
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When the media device belongs to more than one driver, the shared media
+device is allocated with the shared struct device as the key for look ups.
+
+The shared media device should stay in registered state until the last
+driver unregisters it. In addition, the media device should be released when
+all the references are released. Each driver gets a reference to the media
+device during probe, when it allocates the media device. If media device is
+already allocated, the allocate API bumps up the refcount and returns the
+existing media device. The driver puts the reference back in its disconnect
+routine when it calls :c:func:`media_device_delete()`.
+
+The media device is unregistered and cleaned up from the kref put handler to
+ensure that the media device stays in registered state until the last driver
+unregisters the media device.
+
+**Driver Usage**
+
+Drivers should use the appropriate media-core routines to manage the shared
+media device life-time handling the two states:
+1. allocate -> register -> delete
+2. get reference to already registered device -> delete
+
+call :c:func:`media_device_delete()` routine to make sure the shared media
+device delete is handled correctly.
+
+**driver probe:**
+Call :c:func:`media_device_usb_allocate()` to allocate or get a reference
+Call :c:func:`media_device_register()`, if media devnode isn't registered
+
+**driver disconnect:**
+Call :c:func:`media_device_delete()` to free the media_device. Freeing is
+handled by the kref put handler.

+control attributes like type, name, flags are all global. The control's
+current value will be set to the default value.
+
+The :c:func:`v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu` function is very similar but it is
+used for menu controls. There is no min argument since that is always 0 for
+menu controls, and instead of a step there is a skip_mask argument: if bit
+X is 1, then menu item X is skipped.
+
+The :c:func:`v4l2_ctrl_new_int_menu` function creates a new standard
+integer menu control with driver-specific items in the menu. It differs
+from v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu in that it doesn't have the mask argument and
+takes as the last argument an array of signed 64-bit integers that form an
+exact menu item list.
+
+The :c:func:`v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu_items` function is very similar to
+v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu but takes an extra parameter qmenu, which is the
+driver specific menu for an otherwise standard menu control. A good example
+for this control is the test pattern control for capture/display/sensors
+devices that have the capability to generate test patterns. These test
+patterns are hardware specific, so the contents of the menu will vary from

+The Virtual Media Controller Driver (vimc)
+==========================================
+
+The vimc driver emulates complex video hardware using the V4L2 API and the Media
+API. It has a capture device and three subdevices: sensor, debayer and scaler.
+
+Topology
+--------
+
+The topology is hardcoded, although you could modify it in vimc-core and
+recompile the driver to achieve your own topology. This is the default topology:
+
+.. _vimc_topology_graph:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: vimc.dot
+ :alt: vimc.dot
+ :align: center
+
+ Media pipeline graph on vimc
+
+Configuring the topology
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each subdevice will come with its default configuration (pixelformat, height,
+width, ...). One needs to configure the topology in order to match the
+configuration on each linked subdevice to stream frames through the pipeline.
+If the configuration doesn't match, the stream will fail. The ``v4l-utils``
+package is a bundle of user-space applications, that comes with ``media-ctl`` and
+``v4l2-ctl`` that can be used to configure the vimc configuration. This sequence
+of commands fits for the default topology:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Sensor A":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]'
+ media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Debayer A":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]'
+ media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Sensor B":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]'
+ media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Debayer B":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]'
+ v4l2-ctl -z platform:vimc -d "RGB/YUV Capture" -v width=1920,height=1440
+ v4l2-ctl -z platform:vimc -d "Raw Capture 0" -v pixelformat=BA81
+ v4l2-ctl -z platform:vimc -d "Raw Capture 1" -v pixelformat=BA81
+
+Subdevices
+----------
+
+Subdevices define the behavior of an entity in the topology. Depending on the
+subdevice, the entity can have multiple pads of type source or sink.
+
+vimc-sensor:
+ Generates images in several formats using video test pattern generator.
+ Exposes:
+
+ * 1 Pad source
+
+vimc-debayer:
+ Transforms images in bayer format into a non-bayer format.
+ Exposes:
+
+ * 1 Pad sink
+ * 1 Pad source
+
+vimc-scaler:
+ Scale up the image by a factor of 3. E.g.: a 640x480 image becomes a
+ 1920x1440 image. (this value can be configured, see at
+ `Module options`_).
+ Exposes:
+
+ * 1 Pad sink
+ * 1 Pad source
+
+vimc-capture:
+ Exposes node /dev/videoX to allow userspace to capture the stream.
+ Exposes:
+
+ * 1 Pad sink
+ * 1 Pad source
+
+Module options
+---------------
+
+Vimc has a few module parameters to configure the driver. You should pass
+those arguments to each subdevice, not to the vimc module. For example::
+
+ vimc_subdevice.param=value
+
+* ``vimc_scaler.sca_mult=<unsigned int>``
+
+ Image size multiplier factor to be used to multiply both width and
+ height, so the image size will be ``sca_mult^2`` bigger than the
+ original one. Currently, only supports scaling up (the default value
+ is 3).
+
+* ``vimc_debayer.deb_mean_win_size=<unsigned int>``
+
+ Window size to calculate the mean. Note: the window size needs to be an
+ odd number, as the main pixel stays in the center of the window,
+ otherwise the next odd number is considered (the default value is 3).

-1.1 What the TV decoder can do an what not
-------------------------------------------
-
-The best know TV standards are NTSC/PAL/SECAM. but for decoding a frame that
-information is not enough. There are several formats of the TV standards.
-And not every TV decoder is able to handle every format. Also the every
-combination is supported by the driver. There are currently 11 different
-tv broadcast formats all aver the world.
-
-The CCIR defines parameters needed for broadcasting the signal.
-The CCIR has defined different standards: A,B,D,E,F,G,D,H,I,K,K1,L,M,N,...
-The CCIR says not much about the colorsystem used !!!
-And talking about a colorsystem says not to much about how it is broadcast.
-
-The CCIR standards A,E,F are not used any more.
-
-When you speak about NTSC, you usually mean the standard: CCIR - M using
-the NTSC colorsystem which is used in the USA, Japan, Mexico, Canada
-and a few others.
-
-When you talk about PAL, you usually mean: CCIR - B/G using the PAL
-colorsystem which is used in many Countries.
-
-When you talk about SECAM, you mean: CCIR - L using the SECAM Colorsystem
-which is used in France, and a few others.
-
-There the other version of SECAM, CCIR - D/K is used in Bulgaria, China,
-Slovakai, Hungary, Korea (Rep.), Poland, Rumania and a others.
-
-The CCIR - H uses the PAL colorsystem (sometimes SECAM) and is used in
-Egypt, Libya, Sri Lanka, Syrain Arab. Rep.
-
-The CCIR - I uses the PAL colorsystem, and is used in Great Britain, Hong Kong,
-Ireland, Nigeria, South Africa.
-
-The CCIR - N uses the PAL colorsystem and PAL frame size but the NTSC framerate,
-and is used in Argentinia, Uruguay, an a few others
-
-We do not talk about how the audio is broadcast !
-
-A rather good sites about the TV standards are:
-http://www.sony.jp/support/
-http://info.electronicwerkstatt.de/bereiche/fernsehtechnik/frequenzen_und_normen/Fernsehnormen/

-How do I get this damn thing to work
-------------------------------------
-
-Load zr36067.o. If it can't autodetect your card, use the card=X insmod
-option with X being the card number as given in the previous section.
-To have more than one card, use card=X1[,X2[,X3,[X4[..]]]]
-
-To automate this, add the following to your /etc/modprobe.d/zoran.conf:
-
-options zr36067 card=X1[,X2[,X3[,X4[..]]]]
-alias char-major-81-0 zr36067
-
-One thing to keep in mind is that this doesn't load zr36067.o itself yet. It
-just automates loading. If you start using xawtv, the device won't load on
-some systems, since you're trying to load modules as a user, which is not
-allowed ("permission denied"). A quick workaround is to add 'Load "v4l"' to
-XF86Config-4 when you use X by default, or to run 'v4l-conf -c <device>' in
-one of your startup scripts (normally rc.local) if you don't use X. Both
-make sure that the modules are loaded on startup, under the root account.
-
-What mainboard should I use (or why doesn't my card work)
----------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-<insert lousy disclaimer here>. In short: good=SiS/Intel, bad=VIA.
-
-Experience tells us that people with a Buz, on average, have more problems
-than users with a DC10+/LML33. Also, it tells us that people owning a VIA-
-based mainboard (ktXXX, MVP3) have more problems than users with a mainboard
-based on a different chipset. Here's some notes from Andrew Stevens:
-
-Here's my experience of using LML33 and Buz on various motherboards:
-
-- VIA MVP3
- - Forget it. Pointless. Doesn't work.
-- Intel 430FX (Pentium 200)
- - LML33 perfect, Buz tolerable (3 or 4 frames dropped per movie)
-- Intel 440BX (early stepping)
- - LML33 tolerable. Buz starting to get annoying (6-10 frames/hour)
-- Intel 440BX (late stepping)
- - Buz tolerable, LML3 almost perfect (occasional single frame drops)
-- SiS735
- - LML33 perfect, Buz tolerable.
-- VIA KT133(*)
- - LML33 starting to get annoying, Buz poor enough that I have up.
-
-- Both 440BX boards were dual CPU versions.
-
-Bernhard Praschinger later added:
-
-- AMD 751
- - Buz perfect-tolerable
-- AMD 760
- - Buz perfect-tolerable
-
-In general, people on the user mailinglist won't give you much of a chance
-if you have a VIA-based motherboard. They may be cheap, but sometimes, you'd
-rather want to spend some more money on better boards. In general, VIA
-mainboard's IDE/PCI performance will also suck badly compared to others.
-You'll noticed the DC10+/DC30+ aren't mentioned anywhere in the overview.
-Basically, you can assume that if the Buz works, the LML33 will work too. If
-the LML33 works, the DC10+/DC30+ will work too. They're most tolerant to
-different mainboard chipsets from all of the supported cards.
-
-If you experience timeouts during capture, buy a better mainboard or lower
-the quality/buffersize during capture (see 'Concerning buffer sizes, quality,
-output size etc.'). If it hangs, there's little we can do as of now. Check
-your IRQs and make sure the card has its own interrupts.
-
-Programming interface
----------------------
-
-This driver conforms to video4linux2. Support for V4L1 and for the custom
-zoran ioctls has been removed in kernel 2.6.38.
-
-For programming example, please, look at lavrec.c and lavplay.c code in
-the MJPEG-tools (http://mjpeg.sf.net/).
-
-Additional notes for software developers:
-
- The driver returns maxwidth and maxheight parameters according to
- the current TV standard (norm). Therefore, the software which
- communicates with the driver and "asks" for these parameters should
- first set the correct norm. Well, it seems logically correct: TV
- standard is "more constant" for current country than geometry
- settings of a variety of TV capture cards which may work in ITU or
- square pixel format.
-
-Applications
-------------
-
-Applications known to work with this driver:
-

-* kwintv
-* probably any TV application that supports video4linux or video4linux2.

-Concerning buffer sizes, quality, output size etc.
---------------------------------------------------
-
-
-The zr36060 can do 1:2 JPEG compression. This is really the theoretical
-maximum that the chipset can reach. The driver can, however, limit compression
-to a maximum (size) of 1:4. The reason for this is that some cards (e.g. Buz)
-can't handle 1:2 compression without stopping capture after only a few minutes.
-With 1:4, it'll mostly work. If you have a Buz, use 'low_bitrate=1' to go into
-1:4 max. compression mode.
-
-100% JPEG quality is thus 1:2 compression in practice. So for a full PAL frame
-(size 720x576). The JPEG fields are stored in YUY2 format, so the size of the
-fields are 720x288x16/2 bits/field (2 fields/frame) = 207360 bytes/field x 2 =
-414720 bytes/frame (add some more bytes for headers and DHT (huffman)/DQT
-(quantization) tables, and you'll get to something like 512kB per frame for
-1:2 compression. For 1:4 compression, you'd have frames of half this size.
-
-Some additional explanation by Martin Samuelsson, which also explains the
-importance of buffer sizes:
---
-> Hmm, I do not think it is really that way. With the current (downloaded
-> at 18:00 Monday) driver I get that output sizes for 10 sec:
-> -q 50 -b 128 : 24.283.332 Bytes
-> -q 50 -b 256 : 48.442.368
-> -q 25 -b 128 : 24.655.992
-> -q 25 -b 256 : 25.859.820
-
-I woke up, and can't go to sleep again. I'll kill some time explaining why
-this doesn't look strange to me.
-
-Let's do some math using a width of 704 pixels. I'm not sure whether the Buz
-actually use that number or not, but that's not too important right now.
-
-704x288 pixels, one field, is 202752 pixels. Divided by 64 pixels per block;
-3168 blocks per field. Each pixel consist of two bytes; 128 bytes per block;
-1024 bits per block. 100% in the new driver mean 1:2 compression; the maximum
-output becomes 512 bits per block. Actually 510, but 512 is simpler to use
-for calculations.
-
-Let's say that we specify d1q50. We thus want 256 bits per block; times 3168
-becomes 811008 bits; 101376 bytes per field. We're talking raw bits and bytes
-here, so we don't need to do any fancy corrections for bits-per-pixel or such
-things. 101376 bytes per field.
-
-d1 video contains two fields per frame. Those sum up to 202752 bytes per
-frame, and one of those frames goes into each buffer.
-
-But wait a second! -b128 gives 128kB buffers! It's not possible to cram
-202752 bytes of JPEG data into 128kB!
-
-This is what the driver notice and automatically compensate for in your
-examples. Let's do some math using this information:
-
-128kB is 131072 bytes. In this buffer, we want to store two fields, which
-leaves 65536 bytes for each field. Using 3168 blocks per field, we get
-20.68686868... available bytes per block; 165 bits. We can't allow the
-request for 256 bits per block when there's only 165 bits available! The -q50
-option is silently overridden, and the -b128 option takes precedence, leaving
-us with the equivalence of -q32.
-
-This gives us a data rate of 165 bits per block, which, times 3168, sums up
-to 65340 bytes per field, out of the allowed 65536. The current driver has
-another level of rate limiting; it won't accept -q values that fill more than
-6/8 of the specified buffers. (I'm not sure why. "Playing it safe" seem to be
-a safe bet. Personally, I think I would have lowered requested-bits-per-block
-by one, or something like that.) We can't use 165 bits per block, but have to
-lower it again, to 6/8 of the available buffer space: We end up with 124 bits
-per block, the equivalence of -q24. With 128kB buffers, you can't use greater
-than -q24 at -d1. (And PAL, and 704 pixels width...)
-
-The third example is limited to -q24 through the same process. The second
-example, using very similar calculations, is limited to -q48. The only
-example that actually grab at the specified -q value is the last one, which
-is clearly visible, looking at the file size.
---
-
-Conclusion: the quality of the resulting movie depends on buffer size, quality,
-whether or not you use 'low_bitrate=1' as insmod option for the zr36060.c
-module to do 1:4 instead of 1:2 compression, etc.
-
-If you experience timeouts, lowering the quality/buffersize or using
-'low_bitrate=1 as insmod option for zr36060.o might actually help, as is
-proven by the Buz.
-
-It hangs/crashes/fails/whatevers! Help!
----------------------------------------
-
-Make sure that the card has its own interrupts (see /proc/interrupts), check
-the output of dmesg at high verbosity (load zr36067.o with debug=2,
-load all other modules with debug=1). Check that your mainboard is favorable
-(see question 2) and if not, test the card in another computer. Also see the
-notes given in question 3 and try lowering quality/buffersize/capturesize
-if recording fails after a period of time.
-
-If all this doesn't help, give a clear description of the problem including
-detailed hardware information (memory+brand, mainboard+chipset+brand, which
-MJPEG card, processor, other PCI cards that might be of interest), give the
-system PnP information (/proc/interrupts, /proc/dma, /proc/devices), and give
-the kernel version, driver version, glibc version, gcc version and any other
-information that might possibly be of interest. Also provide the dmesg output
-at high verbosity. See 'Contacting' on how to contact the developers.

KERNEL I/O BARRIER EFFECTS
==========================
-When accessing I/O memory, drivers should use the appropriate accessor
-functions:
-
- (*) inX(), outX():
-
- These are intended to talk to I/O space rather than memory space, but
- that's primarily a CPU-specific concept. The i386 and x86_64 processors
- do indeed have special I/O space access cycles and instructions, but many
- CPUs don't have such a concept.
-
- The PCI bus, amongst others, defines an I/O space concept which - on such
- CPUs as i386 and x86_64 - readily maps to the CPU's concept of I/O
- space. However, it may also be mapped as a virtual I/O space in the CPU's
- memory map, particularly on those CPUs that don't support alternate I/O
- spaces.
-
- Accesses to this space may be fully synchronous (as on i386), but
- intermediary bridges (such as the PCI host bridge) may not fully honour
- that.
-
- They are guaranteed to be fully ordered with respect to each other.
-
- They are not guaranteed to be fully ordered with respect to other types of
- memory and I/O operation.
+Interfacing with peripherals via I/O accesses is deeply architecture and device
+specific. Therefore, drivers which are inherently non-portable may rely on
+specific behaviours of their target systems in order to achieve synchronization
+in the most lightweight manner possible. For drivers intending to be portable
+between multiple architectures and bus implementations, the kernel offers a
+series of accessor functions that provide various degrees of ordering
+guarantees:
(*) readX(), writeX():
- Whether these are guaranteed to be fully ordered and uncombined with
- respect to each other on the issuing CPU depends on the characteristics
- defined for the memory window through which they're accessing. On later
- i386 architecture machines, for example, this is controlled by way of the
- MTRR registers.
+ The readX() and writeX() MMIO accessors take a pointer to the
+ peripheral being accessed as an __iomem * parameter. For pointers
+ mapped with the default I/O attributes (e.g. those returned by
+ ioremap()), the ordering guarantees are as follows:
+
+ 1. All readX() and writeX() accesses to the same peripheral are ordered
+ with respect to each other. This ensures that MMIO register accesses
+ by the same CPU thread to a particular device will arrive in program
+ order.
+
+ 2. A writeX() issued by a CPU thread holding a spinlock is ordered
+ before a writeX() to the same peripheral from another CPU thread
+ issued after a later acquisition of the same spinlock. This ensures
+ that MMIO register writes to a particular device issued while holding
+ a spinlock will arrive in an order consistent with acquisitions of
+ the lock.
+
+ 3. A writeX() by a CPU thread to the peripheral will first wait for the
+ completion of all prior writes to memory either issued by, or
+ propagated to, the same thread. This ensures that writes by the CPU
+ to an outbound DMA buffer allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() will be
+ visible to a DMA engine when the CPU writes to its MMIO control
+ register to trigger the transfer.
+
+ 4. A readX() by a CPU thread from the peripheral will complete before
+ any subsequent reads from memory by the same thread can begin. This
+ ensures that reads by the CPU from an incoming DMA buffer allocated
+ by dma_alloc_coherent() will not see stale data after reading from
+ the DMA engine's MMIO status register to establish that the DMA
+ transfer has completed.
+
+ 5. A readX() by a CPU thread from the peripheral will complete before
+ any subsequent delay() loop can begin execution on the same thread.
+ This ensures that two MMIO register writes by the CPU to a peripheral
+ will arrive at least 1us apart if the first write is immediately read
+ back with readX() and udelay(1) is called prior to the second
+ writeX():
+
+ writel(42, DEVICE_REGISTER_0); // Arrives at the device...
+ readl(DEVICE_REGISTER_0);
+ udelay(1);
+ writel(42, DEVICE_REGISTER_1); // ...at least 1us before this.
+
+ The ordering properties of __iomem pointers obtained with non-default
+ attributes (e.g. those returned by ioremap_wc()) are specific to the
+ underlying architecture and therefore the guarantees listed above cannot
+ generally be relied upon for accesses to these types of mappings.
+
+ (*) readX_relaxed(), writeX_relaxed():
+
+ These are similar to readX() and writeX(), but provide weaker memory
+ ordering guarantees. Specifically, they do not guarantee ordering with
+ respect to locking, normal memory accesses or delay() loops (i.e.
+ bullets 2-5 above) but they are still guaranteed to be ordered with
+ respect to other accesses from the same CPU thread to the same
+ peripheral when operating on __iomem pointers mapped with the default
+ I/O attributes.
+
+ (*) readsX(), writesX():
+
+ The readsX() and writesX() MMIO accessors are designed for accessing
+ register-based, memory-mapped FIFOs residing on peripherals that are not
+ capable of performing DMA. Consequently, they provide only the ordering
+ guarantees of readX_relaxed() and writeX_relaxed(), as documented above.
- Ordinarily, these will be guaranteed to be fully ordered and uncombined,
- provided they're not accessing a prefetchable device.
+ (*) inX(), outX():
- However, intermediary hardware (such as a PCI bridge) may indulge in
- deferral if it so wishes; to flush a store, a load from the same location
- is preferred[*], but a load from the same device or from configuration
- space should suffice for PCI.
+ The inX() and outX() accessors are intended to access legacy port-mapped
+ I/O peripherals, which may require special instructions on some
+ architectures (notably x86). The port number of the peripheral being
+ accessed is passed as an argument.
- [*] NOTE! attempting to load from the same location as was written to may
- cause a malfunction - consider the 16550 Rx/Tx serial registers for
- example.
+ Since many CPU architectures ultimately access these peripherals via an
+ internal virtual memory mapping, the portable ordering guarantees
+ provided by inX() and outX() are the same as those provided by readX()
+ and writeX() respectively when accessing a mapping with the default I/O
+ attributes.
- Used with prefetchable I/O memory, an mmiowb() barrier may be required to
- force stores to be ordered.
+ Device drivers may expect outX() to emit a non-posted write transaction
+ that waits for a completion response from the I/O peripheral before
+ returning. This is not guaranteed by all architectures and is therefore
+ not part of the portable ordering semantics.
- Please refer to the PCI specification for more information on interactions
- between PCI transactions.
+ (*) insX(), outsX():
- (*) readX_relaxed(), writeX_relaxed()
+ As above, the insX() and outsX() accessors provide the same ordering
+ guarantees as readsX() and writesX() respectively when accessing a
+ mapping with the default I/O attributes.
- These are similar to readX() and writeX(), but provide weaker memory
- ordering guarantees. Specifically, they do not guarantee ordering with
- respect to normal memory accesses (e.g. DMA buffers) nor do they guarantee
- ordering with respect to LOCK or UNLOCK operations. If the latter is
- required, an mmiowb() barrier can be used. Note that relaxed accesses to
- the same peripheral are guaranteed to be ordered with respect to each
- other.
+ (*) ioreadX(), iowriteX():
- (*) ioreadX(), iowriteX()
+ These will perform appropriately for the type of access they're actually
+ doing, be it inX()/outX() or readX()/writeX().
- These will perform appropriately for the type of access they're actually
- doing, be it inX()/outX() or readX()/writeX().
+With the exception of the string accessors (insX(), outsX(), readsX() and
+writesX()), all of the above assume that the underlying peripheral is
+little-endian and will therefore perform byte-swapping operations on big-endian
+architectures.

-Intel(R) Management Engine (ME) Client bus API
-==============================================
-
-
-Rationale
-=========
-
-MEI misc character device is useful for dedicated applications to send and receive
-data to the many FW appliance found in Intel's ME from the user space.
-However for some of the ME functionalities it make sense to leverage existing software
-stack and expose them through existing kernel subsystems.
-
-In order to plug seamlessly into the kernel device driver model we add kernel virtual
-bus abstraction on top of the MEI driver. This allows implementing linux kernel drivers
-for the various MEI features as a stand alone entities found in their respective subsystem.
-Existing device drivers can even potentially be re-used by adding an MEI CL bus layer to
-the existing code.
-
-
-MEI CL bus API
-==============
-
-A driver implementation for an MEI Client is very similar to existing bus
-based device drivers. The driver registers itself as an MEI CL bus driver through
-the mei_cl_driver structure:
-
-struct mei_cl_driver {
- struct device_driver driver;
- const char *name;
-
- const struct mei_cl_device_id *id_table;
-
- int (*probe)(struct mei_cl_device *dev, const struct mei_cl_id *id);
- int (*remove)(struct mei_cl_device *dev);
-};
-
-struct mei_cl_id {
- char name[MEI_NAME_SIZE];
- kernel_ulong_t driver_info;
-};
-
-The mei_cl_id structure allows the driver to bind itself against a device name.
-
-To actually register a driver on the ME Client bus one must call the mei_cl_add_driver()
-API. This is typically called at module init time.
-
-Once registered on the ME Client bus, a driver will typically try to do some I/O on
-this bus and this should be done through the mei_cl_send() and mei_cl_recv()
-routines. The latter is synchronous (blocks and sleeps until data shows up).
-In order for drivers to be notified of pending events waiting for them (e.g.
-an Rx event) they can register an event handler through the
-mei_cl_register_event_cb() routine. Currently only the MEI_EVENT_RX event
-will trigger an event handler call and the driver implementation is supposed
-to call mei_recv() from the event handler in order to fetch the pending
-received buffers.
-
-
-Example
-=======
-
-As a theoretical example let's pretend the ME comes with a "contact" NFC IP.
-The driver init and exit routines for this device would look like:
-
-#define CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME "contact"
-
-static struct mei_cl_device_id contact_mei_cl_tbl[] = {
- { CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME, },
-
- /* required last entry */
- { }
-};
-MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(mei_cl, contact_mei_cl_tbl);
-
-static struct mei_cl_driver contact_driver = {
- .id_table = contact_mei_tbl,
- .name = CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME,
-
- .probe = contact_probe,
- .remove = contact_remove,
-};
-
-static int contact_init(void)
-{
- int r;
-
- r = mei_cl_driver_register(&contact_driver);
- if (r) {
- pr_err(CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME ": driver registration failed\n");
- return r;
- }
-
- return 0;
-}
-
-static void __exit contact_exit(void)
-{
- mei_cl_driver_unregister(&contact_driver);
-}
-

-Intel(R) Management Engine Interface (Intel(R) MEI)
-===================================================
-
-Introduction
-============
-
-The Intel Management Engine (Intel ME) is an isolated and protected computing
-resource (Co-processor) residing inside certain Intel chipsets. The Intel ME
-provides support for computer/IT management features. The feature set
-depends on the Intel chipset SKU.
-
-The Intel Management Engine Interface (Intel MEI, previously known as HECI)
-is the interface between the Host and Intel ME. This interface is exposed
-to the host as a PCI device. The Intel MEI Driver is in charge of the
-communication channel between a host application and the Intel ME feature.
-
-Each Intel ME feature (Intel ME Client) is addressed by a GUID/UUID and
-each client has its own protocol. The protocol is message-based with a
-header and payload up to 512 bytes.
-
-Prominent usage of the Intel ME Interface is to communicate with Intel(R)
-Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) implemented in firmware running on
-the Intel ME.
-
-Intel AMT provides the ability to manage a host remotely out-of-band (OOB)
-even when the operating system running on the host processor has crashed or
-is in a sleep state.
-
-Some examples of Intel AMT usage are:
- - Monitoring hardware state and platform components
- - Remote power off/on (useful for green computing or overnight IT
- maintenance)
- - OS updates
- - Storage of useful platform information such as software assets
- - Built-in hardware KVM
- - Selective network isolation of Ethernet and IP protocol flows based
- on policies set by a remote management console
- - IDE device redirection from remote management console
-
-Intel AMT (OOB) communication is based on SOAP (deprecated
-starting with Release 6.0) over HTTP/S or WS-Management protocol over
-HTTP/S that are received from a remote management console application.
-
-For more information about Intel AMT:
-http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
-
-
-Intel MEI Driver
-================
-
-The driver exposes a misc device called /dev/mei.
-
-An application maintains communication with an Intel ME feature while
-/dev/mei is open. The binding to a specific feature is performed by calling
-MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT_IOCTL, which passes the desired UUID.
-The number of instances of an Intel ME feature that can be opened
-at the same time depends on the Intel ME feature, but most of the
-features allow only a single instance.
-
-The Intel AMT Host Interface (Intel AMTHI) feature supports multiple
-simultaneous user connected applications. The Intel MEI driver
-handles this internally by maintaining request queues for the applications.
-
-The driver is transparent to data that are passed between firmware feature
-and host application.
-
-Because some of the Intel ME features can change the system
-configuration, the driver by default allows only a privileged
-user to access it.
-
-A code snippet for an application communicating with Intel AMTHI client:
-
- struct mei_connect_client_data data;
- fd = open(MEI_DEVICE);
-
- data.d.in_client_uuid = AMTHI_UUID;
-
- ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT, &data);
-
- printf("Ver=%d, MaxLen=%ld\n",
- data.d.in_client_uuid.protocol_version,
- data.d.in_client_uuid.max_msg_length);
-
- [...]
-
- write(fd, amthi_req_data, amthi_req_data_len);
-
- [...]
-
- read(fd, &amthi_res_data, amthi_res_data_len);
-
- [...]
- close(fd);
-
-
-IOCTL
-=====
-
-The Intel MEI Driver supports the following IOCTL commands:
- IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT Connect to firmware Feature (client).
-
- usage:
- struct mei_connect_client_data clientData;
- ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT, &clientData);
-
- inputs:
- mei_connect_client_data struct contain the following
- input field:
-
- in_client_uuid - UUID of the FW Feature that needs
- to connect to.
- outputs:
- out_client_properties - Client Properties: MTU and Protocol Version.
-
- error returns:
- EINVAL Wrong IOCTL Number
- ENODEV Device or Connection is not initialized or ready.
- (e.g. Wrong UUID)
- ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory to client internal data.
- EFAULT Fatal Error (e.g. Unable to access user input data)
- EBUSY Connection Already Open
-
- Notes:
- max_msg_length (MTU) in client properties describes the maximum
- data that can be sent or received. (e.g. if MTU=2K, can send
- requests up to bytes 2k and received responses up to 2k bytes).
-
- IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_SET: enable or disable event notifications
-
- Usage:
- uint32_t enable;
- ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_SET, &enable);
-
- Inputs:
- uint32_t enable = 1;
- or
- uint32_t enable[disable] = 0;
-
- Error returns:
- EINVAL Wrong IOCTL Number
- ENODEV Device is not initialized or the client not connected
- ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory to client internal data.
- EFAULT Fatal Error (e.g. Unable to access user input data)
- EOPNOTSUPP if the device doesn't support the feature
-
- Notes:
- The client must be connected in order to enable notification events
-
-
- IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_GET : retrieve event
-
- Usage:
- uint32_t event;
- ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_GET, &event);
-
- Outputs:
- 1 - if an event is pending
- 0 - if there is no even pending
-
- Error returns:
- EINVAL Wrong IOCTL Number
- ENODEV Device is not initialized or the client not connected
- ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory to client internal data.
- EFAULT Fatal Error (e.g. Unable to access user input data)
- EOPNOTSUPP if the device doesn't support the feature
-
- Notes:
- The client must be connected and event notification has to be enabled
- in order to receive an event
-
-
-Intel ME Applications
-=====================
-
- 1) Intel Local Management Service (Intel LMS)
-
- Applications running locally on the platform communicate with Intel AMT Release
- 2.0 and later releases in the same way that network applications do via SOAP
- over HTTP (deprecated starting with Release 6.0) or with WS-Management over
- SOAP over HTTP. This means that some Intel AMT features can be accessed from a
- local application using the same network interface as a remote application
- communicating with Intel AMT over the network.
-
- When a local application sends a message addressed to the local Intel AMT host
- name, the Intel LMS, which listens for traffic directed to the host name,
- intercepts the message and routes it to the Intel MEI.
- For more information:
- http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
- Under "About Intel AMT" => "Local Access"
-
- For downloading Intel LMS:
- http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-intel-amt-open-source-drivers/
-
- The Intel LMS opens a connection using the Intel MEI driver to the Intel LMS
- firmware feature using a defined UUID and then communicates with the feature
- using a protocol called Intel AMT Port Forwarding Protocol (Intel APF protocol).
- The protocol is used to maintain multiple sessions with Intel AMT from a
- single application.
-
- See the protocol specification in the Intel AMT Software Development Kit (SDK)
- http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
- Under "SDK Resources" => "Intel(R) vPro(TM) Gateway (MPS)"
- => "Information for Intel(R) vPro(TM) Gateway Developers"
- => "Description of the Intel AMT Port Forwarding (APF) Protocol"
-
- 2) Intel AMT Remote configuration using a Local Agent
-
- A Local Agent enables IT personnel to configure Intel AMT out-of-the-box
- without requiring installing additional data to enable setup. The remote
- configuration process may involve an ISV-developed remote configuration
- agent that runs on the host.
- For more information:
- http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
- Under "Setup and Configuration of Intel AMT" =>
- "SDK Tools Supporting Setup and Configuration" =>
- "Using the Local Agent Sample"
-
- An open source Intel AMT configuration utility, implementing a local agent
- that accesses the Intel MEI driver, can be found here:
- http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-intel-amt-open-source-drivers/
-
-
-Intel AMT OS Health Watchdog
-============================
-
-The Intel AMT Watchdog is an OS Health (Hang/Crash) watchdog.
-Whenever the OS hangs or crashes, Intel AMT will send an event
-to any subscriber to this event. This mechanism means that
-IT knows when a platform crashes even when there is a hard failure on the host.
-
-The Intel AMT Watchdog is composed of two parts:
- 1) Firmware feature - receives the heartbeats
- and sends an event when the heartbeats stop.
- 2) Intel MEI iAMT watchdog driver - connects to the watchdog feature,
- configures the watchdog and sends the heartbeats.
-
-The Intel iAMT watchdog MEI driver uses the kernel watchdog API to configure
-the Intel AMT Watchdog and to send heartbeats to it. The default timeout of the
-watchdog is 120 seconds.
-
-If the Intel AMT is not enabled in the firmware then the watchdog client won't enumerate
-on the me client bus and watchdog devices won't be exposed.

SIOCETHTOOL ioctl.
SKB:
+====
The driver-allocated SKB for frames received from Rx handling using
NAPI context. The allocation method depends on the size of the packet.
If the frame length is larger than rx_copybreak, napi_get_frags()

+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+
+The driver in this release is compatible with AQC-100, AQC-107, AQC-108 based ethernet adapters.
+
+
+SFP+ Devices (for AQC-100 based adapters)
+----------------------------------
+
+This release tested with passive Direct Attach Cables (DAC) and SFP+/LC Optical Transceiver.
+
+Configuration
+=========================
+ Viewing Link Messages
+ ---------------------
+ Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is
+ restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on
+ your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following:
+
+ dmesg -n 8
+
+ NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
+
+ Jumbo Frames
+ ------------
+ The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is
+ enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500.
+ The maximum value for the MTU is 16000. Use the `ip` command to
+ increase the MTU size. For example:
+
+ ip link set mtu 16000 dev enp1s0
+
+ ethtool
+ -------
+ The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+ diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest
+ ethtool version is required for this functionality.
+
+ NAPI
+ ----
+ NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the atlantic driver.
+

+
+ and changed with:
+
+ ethtool -C <ethX> tx-usecs <usecs> rx-usecs <usecs>
+
+ To disable coalescing:
+
+ ethtool -C <ethX> tx-usecs 0 rx-usecs 0 tx-max-frames 1 tx-max-frames 1
+
+ Wake on LAN support

+ ethtool -s <ethX> wol g
+
+ To disable WOL:
+
+ ethtool -s <ethX> wol d
+
+ Set and check the driver message level
+ ---------------------------------
+
+ Set message level
+
+ ethtool -s <ethX> msglvl <level>
+
+ Level values:
+
+ 0x0001 - general driver status.
+ 0x0002 - hardware probing.
+ 0x0004 - link state.
+ 0x0008 - periodic status check.
+ 0x0010 - interface being brought down.
+ 0x0020 - interface being brought up.
+ 0x0040 - receive error.
+ 0x0080 - transmit error.
+ 0x0200 - interrupt handling.
+ 0x0400 - transmit completion.
+ 0x0800 - receive completion.
+ 0x1000 - packet contents.
+ 0x2000 - hardware status.
+ 0x4000 - Wake-on-LAN status.
+
+ By default, the level of debugging messages is set 0x0001(general driver status).
+
+ Check message level
+
+ ethtool <ethX> | grep "Current message level"
+
+ If you want to disable the output of messages
+
+ ethtool -s <ethX> msglvl 0
+
+ RX flow rules (ntuple filters)
+ ---------------------------------
+ There are separate rules supported, that applies in that order:
+ 1. 16 VLAN ID rules
+ 2. 16 L2 EtherType rules
+ 3. 8 L3/L4 5-Tuple rules
+
+
+ The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for configuring ntuple filters,
+ via "ethtool -N <device> <filter>".
+
+ To enable or disable the RX flow rules:
+
+ ethtool -K ethX ntuple <on|off>
+
+ When disabling ntuple filters, all the user programed filters are
+ flushed from the driver cache and hardware. All needed filters must
+ be re-added when ntuple is re-enabled.
+
+ Because of the fixed order of the rules, the location of filters is also fixed:
+ - Locations 0 - 15 for VLAN ID filters
+ - Locations 16 - 31 for L2 EtherType filters
+ - Locations 32 - 39 for L3/L4 5-tuple filters (locations 32, 36 for IPv6)
+
+ The L3/L4 5-tuple (protocol, source and destination IP address, source and
+ destination TCP/UDP/SCTP port) is compared against 8 filters. For IPv4, up to
+ 8 source and destination addresses can be matched. For IPv6, up to 2 pairs of
+ addresses can be supported. Source and destination ports are only compared for
+ TCP/UDP/SCTP packets.
+
+ To add a filter that directs packet to queue 5, use <-N|-U|--config-nfc|--config-ntuple> switch:
+
+ ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type udp4 src-ip 10.0.0.1 dst-ip 10.0.0.2 src-port 2000 dst-port 2001 action 5 <loc 32>
+
+ - action is the queue number.
+ - loc is the rule number.
+
+ For "flow-type ip4|udp4|tcp4|sctp4|ip6|udp6|tcp6|sctp6" you must set the loc
+ number within 32 - 39.
+ For "flow-type ip4|udp4|tcp4|sctp4|ip6|udp6|tcp6|sctp6" you can set 8 rules
+ for traffic IPv4 or you can set 2 rules for traffic IPv6. Loc number traffic
+ IPv6 is 32 and 36.
+ At the moment you can not use IPv4 and IPv6 filters at the same time.
+
+ Example filter for IPv6 filter traffic:
+
+ sudo ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type tcp6 src-ip 2001:db8:0:f101::1 dst-ip 2001:db8:0:f101::2 action 1 loc 32
+ sudo ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type ip6 src-ip 2001:db8:0:f101::2 dst-ip 2001:db8:0:f101::5 action -1 loc 36
+
+ Example filter for IPv4 filter traffic:
+
+ sudo ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type udp4 src-ip 10.0.0.4 dst-ip 10.0.0.7 src-port 2000 dst-port 2001 loc 32
+ sudo ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type tcp4 src-ip 10.0.0.3 dst-ip 10.0.0.9 src-port 2000 dst-port 2001 loc 33
+ sudo ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type ip4 src-ip 10.0.0.6 dst-ip 10.0.0.4 loc 34
+
+ If you set action -1, then all traffic corresponding to the filter will be discarded.
+ The maximum value action is 31.
+
+
+ The VLAN filter (VLAN id) is compared against 16 filters.
+ VLAN id must be accompanied by mask 0xF000. That is to distinguish VLAN filter
+ from L2 Ethertype filter with UserPriority since both User Priority and VLAN ID
+ are passed in the same 'vlan' parameter.
+
+ To add a filter that directs packets from VLAN 2001 to queue 5:
+ ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type ip4 vlan 2001 m 0xF000 action 1 loc 0
+
+
+ L2 EtherType filters allows filter packet by EtherType field or both EtherType
+ and User Priority (PCP) field of 802.1Q.
+ UserPriority (vlan) parameter must be accompanied by mask 0x1FFF. That is to
+ distinguish VLAN filter from L2 Ethertype filter with UserPriority since both
+ User Priority and VLAN ID are passed in the same 'vlan' parameter.
+
+ To add a filter that directs IP4 packess of priority 3 to queue 3:
+ ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type ether proto 0x800 vlan 0x600 m 0x1FFF action 3 loc 16
+
+
+ To see the list of filters currently present:
+
+ ethtool <-u|-n|--show-nfc|--show-ntuple> <ethX>
+
+ Rules may be deleted from the table itself. This is done using:
+
+ sudo ethtool <-N|-U|--config-nfc|--config-ntuple> <ethX> delete <loc>
+
+ - loc is the rule number to be deleted.
+
+ Rx filters is an interface to load the filter table that funnels all flow
+ into queue 0 unless an alternative queue is specified using "action". In that
+ case, any flow that matches the filter criteria will be directed to the
+ appropriate queue. RX filters is supported on all kernels 2.6.30 and later.
+
+ RSS for UDP
+ ---------------------------------
+ Currently, NIC does not support RSS for fragmented IP packets, which leads to
+ incorrect working of RSS for fragmented UDP traffic. To disable RSS for UDP the
+ RX Flow L3/L4 rule may be used.
+
+ Example:
+ ethtool -N eth0 flow-type udp4 action 0 loc 32
+
+Command Line Parameters
+=======================
+The following command line parameters are available on atlantic driver:
+
+aq_itr -Interrupt throttling mode
+----------------------------------------
+Accepted values: 0, 1, 0xFFFF
+Default value: 0xFFFF
+0 - Disable interrupt throttling.
+1 - Enable interrupt throttling and use specified tx and rx rates.
+0xFFFF - Auto throttling mode. Driver will choose the best RX and TX
+ interrupt throtting settings based on link speed.
+
+aq_itr_tx - TX interrupt throttle rate
+----------------------------------------
+Accepted values: 0 - 0x1FF
+Default value: 0
+TX side throttling in microseconds. Adapter will setup maximum interrupt delay
+to this value. Minimum interrupt delay will be a half of this value
+
+aq_itr_rx - RX interrupt throttle rate
+----------------------------------------
+Accepted values: 0 - 0x1FF
+Default value: 0
+RX side throttling in microseconds. Adapter will setup maximum interrupt delay
+to this value. Minimum interrupt delay will be a half of this value
+
+Note: ITR settings could be changed in runtime by ethtool -c means (see below)
+
+Config file parameters
+=======================
+For some fine tuning and performance optimizations,
+some parameters can be changed in the {source_dir}/aq_cfg.h file.
+
+AQ_CFG_RX_PAGEORDER
+----------------------------------------
+Default value: 0
+RX page order override. Thats a power of 2 number of RX pages allocated for
+each descriptor. Received descriptor size is still limited by AQ_CFG_RX_FRAME_MAX.
+Increasing pageorder makes page reuse better (actual on iommu enabled systems).
+
+AQ_CFG_RX_REFILL_THRES
+----------------------------------------
+Default value: 32
+RX refill threshold. RX path will not refill freed descriptors until the
+specified number of free descriptors is observed. Larger values may help
+better page reuse but may lead to packet drops as well.
+
+AQ_CFG_VECS_DEF
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Number of queues
+Valid Range: 0 - 8 (up to AQ_CFG_VECS_MAX)
+Default value: 8
+Notice this value will be capped by the number of cores available on the system.
+
+AQ_CFG_IS_RSS_DEF
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Enable/disable Receive Side Scaling
+
+This feature allows the adapter to distribute receive processing
+across multiple CPU-cores and to prevent from overloading a single CPU core.
+
+Valid values
+0 - disabled
+1 - enabled
+
+Default value: 1
+
+AQ_CFG_NUM_RSS_QUEUES_DEF
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Number of queues for Receive Side Scaling
+Valid Range: 0 - 8 (up to AQ_CFG_VECS_DEF)
+
+Default value: AQ_CFG_VECS_DEF
+
+AQ_CFG_IS_LRO_DEF
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Enable/disable Large Receive Offload
+
+This offload enables the adapter to coalesce multiple TCP segments and indicate
+them as a single coalesced unit to the OS networking subsystem.
+The system consumes less energy but it also introduces more latency in packets processing.
+
+Valid values
+0 - disabled
+1 - enabled
+
+Default value: 1
+
+AQ_CFG_TX_CLEAN_BUDGET
+----------------------------------------
+Maximum descriptors to cleanup on TX at once.
+Default value: 256
+
+After the aq_cfg.h file changed the driver must be rebuilt to take effect.
+
+Support

+PCI Bars
+========
+The gVNIC PCI device exposes three 32-bit memory BARS:
+- Bar0 - Device configuration and status registers.
+- Bar1 - MSI-X vector table
+- Bar2 - IRQ, RX and TX doorbells
+
+Device Interactions
+===================
+The driver interacts with the device in the following ways:
+ - Registers
+ - A block of MMIO registers
+ - See gve_register.h for more detail
+ - Admin Queue
+ - See description below
+ - Reset
+ - At any time the device can be reset
+ - Interrupts
+ - See supported interrupts below
+ - Transmit and Receive Queues
+ - See description below
+
+Registers
+---------
+All registers are MMIO and big endian.
+
+The registers are used for initializing and configuring the device as well as
+querying device status in response to management interrupts.
+
+Admin Queue (AQ)
+----------------
+The Admin Queue is a PAGE_SIZE memory block, treated as an array of AQ
+commands, used by the driver to issue commands to the device and set up
+resources.The driver and the device maintain a count of how many commands
+have been submitted and executed. To issue AQ commands, the driver must do
+the following (with proper locking):
+
+1) Copy new commands into next available slots in the AQ array
+2) Increment its counter by he number of new commands
+3) Write the counter into the GVE_ADMIN_QUEUE_DOORBELL register
+4) Poll the ADMIN_QUEUE_EVENT_COUNTER register until it equals
+ the value written to the doorbell, or until a timeout.
+
+The device will update the status field in each AQ command reported as
+executed through the ADMIN_QUEUE_EVENT_COUNTER register.
+
+Device Resets
+-------------
+A device reset is triggered by writing 0x0 to the AQ PFN register.
+This causes the device to release all resources allocated by the
+driver, including the AQ itself.
+
+Interrupts
+----------
+The following interrupts are supported by the driver:
+
+Management Interrupt
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The management interrupt is used by the device to tell the driver to
+look at the GVE_DEVICE_STATUS register.
+
+The handler for the management irq simply queues the service task in
+the workqueue to check the register and acks the irq.
+
+Notification Block Interrupts
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The notification block interrupts are used to tell the driver to poll
+the queues associated with that interrupt.
+
+The handler for these irqs schedule the napi for that block to run
+and poll the queues.
+
+Traffic Queues
+--------------
+gVNIC's queues are composed of a descriptor ring and a buffer and are
+assigned to a notification block.
+
+The descriptor rings are power-of-two-sized ring buffers consisting of
+fixed-size descriptors. They advance their head pointer using a __be32
+doorbell located in Bar2. The tail pointers are advanced by consuming
+descriptors in-order and updating a __be32 counter. Both the doorbell
+and the counter overflow to zero.
+
+Each queue's buffers must be registered in advance with the device as a
+queue page list, and packet data can only be put in those pages.
+
+Transmit
+~~~~~~~~
+gve maps the buffers for transmit rings into a FIFO and copies the packets
+into the FIFO before sending them to the NIC.
+
+Receive
+~~~~~~~
+The buffers for receive rings are put into a data ring that is the same
+length as the descriptor ring and the head and tail pointers advance over
+the rings together.

+Enabling the driver and kconfig options
+================================================
+
+| mlx5 core is modular and most of the major mlx5 core driver features can be selected (compiled in/out)
+| at build time via kernel Kconfig flags.
+| Basic features, ethernet net device rx/tx offloads and XDP, are available with the most basic flags
+| CONFIG_MLX5_CORE=y/m and CONFIG_MLX5_CORE_EN=y.
+| For the list of advanced features please see below.
+
+**CONFIG_MLX5_CORE=(y/m/n)** (module mlx5_core.ko)
+
+| The driver can be enabled by choosing CONFIG_MLX5_CORE=y/m in kernel config.
+| This will provide mlx5 core driver for mlx5 ulps to interface with (mlx5e, mlx5_ib).
+
+
+**CONFIG_MLX5_CORE_EN=(y/n)**
+
+| Choosing this option will allow basic ethernet netdevice support with all of the standard rx/tx offloads.
+| mlx5e is the mlx5 ulp driver which provides netdevice kernel interface, when chosen, mlx5e will be
+| built-in into mlx5_core.ko.
+
+
+**CONFIG_MLX5_EN_ARFS=(y/n)**
+
+| Enables Hardware-accelerated receive flow steering (arfs) support, and ntuple filtering.
+| https://community.mellanox.com/s/article/howto-configure-arfs-on-connectx-4
+
+
+**CONFIG_MLX5_EN_RXNFC=(y/n)**
+
+| Enables ethtool receive network flow classification, which allows user defined
+| flow rules to direct traffic into arbitrary rx queue via ethtool set/get_rxnfc API.
+
+
+**CONFIG_MLX5_CORE_EN_DCB=(y/n)**:
+
+| Enables `Data Center Bridging (DCB) Support <https://community.mellanox.com/s/article/howto-auto-config-pfc-and-ets-on-connectx-4-via-lldp-dcbx>`_.
+
+
+**CONFIG_MLX5_MPFS=(y/n)**
+
+| Ethernet Multi-Physical Function Switch (MPFS) support in ConnectX NIC.
+| MPFs is required for when `Multi-Host <http://www.mellanox.com/page/multihost>`_ configuration is enabled to allow passing
+| user configured unicast MAC addresses to the requesting PF.
+
+

+Devlink info
+============
+
+The devlink info reports the running and stored firmware versions on device.
+It also prints the device PSID which represents the HCA board type ID.
+
+User command example::
+
+ $ devlink dev info pci/0000:00:06.0
+ pci/0000:00:06.0:
+ driver mlx5_core
+ versions:
+ fixed:

+ fw.version 16.26.0100
+ stored:
+ fw.version 16.26.0100
+
+Devlink health reporters
+========================
+
+tx reporter
+-----------
+The tx reporter is responsible of two error scenarios:
+
+- TX timeout
+ Report on kernel tx timeout detection.
+ Recover by searching lost interrupts.
+- TX error completion
+ Report on error tx completion.
+ Recover by flushing the TX queue and reset it.
+
+TX reporter also support Diagnose callback, on which it provides
+real time information of its send queues status.
+
+User commands examples:
+
+- Diagnose send queues status::
+
+ $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter tx
+
+- Show number of tx errors indicated, number of recover flows ended successfully,
+ is autorecover enabled and graceful period from last recover::
+
+ $ devlink health show pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter tx
+
+fw reporter
+-----------
+The fw reporter implements diagnose and dump callbacks.
+It follows symptoms of fw error such as fw syndrome by triggering
+fw core dump and storing it into the dump buffer.
+The fw reporter diagnose command can be triggered any time by the user to check
+current fw status.
+
+User commands examples:
+
+- Check fw heath status::
+
+ $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter fw
+
+- Read FW core dump if already stored or trigger new one::
+
+ $ devlink health dump show pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter fw
+
+NOTE: This command can run only on the PF which has fw tracer ownership,
+running it on other PF or any VF will return "Operation not permitted".
+
+fw fatal reporter
+-----------------
+The fw fatal reporter implements dump and recover callbacks.
+It follows fatal errors indications by CR-space dump and recover flow.
+The CR-space dump uses vsc interface which is valid even if the FW command
+interface is not functional, which is the case in most FW fatal errors.
+The recover function runs recover flow which reloads the driver and triggers fw
+reset if needed.
+
+User commands examples:
+
+- Run fw recover flow manually::
+
+ $ devlink health recover pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter fw_fatal
+
+- Read FW CR-space dump if already strored or trigger new one::
+
+ $ devlink health dump show pci/0000:82:00.1 reporter fw_fatal
+
+NOTE: This command can run only on PF.

+==========================================
+Broadcom RoboSwitch Ethernet switch driver
+==========================================
+
+The Broadcom RoboSwitch Ethernet switch family is used in quite a range of
+xDSL router, cable modems and other multimedia devices.
+
+The actual implementation supports the devices BCM5325E, BCM5365, BCM539x,
+BCM53115 and BCM53125 as well as BCM63XX.
+
+Implementation details
+======================
+
+The driver is located in ``drivers/net/dsa/b53/`` and is implemented as a
+DSA driver; see ``Documentation/networking/dsa/dsa.rst`` for details on the
+subsystem and what it provides.
+
+The switch is, if possible, configured to enable a Broadcom specific 4-bytes
+switch tag which gets inserted by the switch for every packet forwarded to the
+CPU interface, conversely, the CPU network interface should insert a similar
+tag for packets entering the CPU port. The tag format is described in
+``net/dsa/tag_brcm.c``.
+
+The configuration of the device depends on whether or not tagging is
+supported.
+
+The interface names and example network configuration are used according the
+configuration described in the :ref:`dsa-config-showcases`.
+
+Configuration with tagging support
+----------------------------------
+
+The tagging based configuration is desired. It is not specific to the b53
+DSA driver and will work like all DSA drivers which supports tagging.
+
+See :ref:`dsa-tagged-configuration`.
+
+Configuration without tagging support
+-------------------------------------
+
+Older models (5325, 5365) support a different tag format that is not supported
+yet. 539x and 531x5 require managed mode and some special handling, which is
+also not yet supported. The tagging support is disabled in these cases and the
+switch need a different configuration.
+
+The configuration slightly differ from the :ref:`dsa-vlan-configuration`.
+
+The b53 tags the CPU port in all VLANs, since otherwise any PVID untagged
+VLAN programming would basically change the CPU port's default PVID and make
+it untagged, undesirable.
+
+In difference to the configuration described in :ref:`dsa-vlan-configuration`
+the default VLAN 1 has to be removed from the slave interface configuration in
+single port and gateway configuration, while there is no need to add an extra
+VLAN configuration in the bridge showcase.

+
+Configuration showcases
+-----------------------
+
+To configure a DSA switch a couple of commands need to be executed. In this
+documentation some common configuration scenarios are handled as showcases:
+
+*single port*
+ Every switch port acts as a different configurable Ethernet port
+
+*bridge*
+ Every switch port is part of one configurable Ethernet bridge
+
+*gateway*
+ Every switch port except one upstream port is part of a configurable
+ Ethernet bridge.
+ The upstream port acts as different configurable Ethernet port.
+
+All configurations are performed with tools from iproute2, which is available
+at https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/net/iproute2/
+
+Through DSA every port of a switch is handled like a normal linux Ethernet
+interface. The CPU port is the switch port connected to an Ethernet MAC chip.
+The corresponding linux Ethernet interface is called the master interface.
+All other corresponding linux interfaces are called slave interfaces.
+
+The slave interfaces depend on the master interface. They can only brought up,
+when the master interface is up.
+
+In this documentation the following Ethernet interfaces are used:
+
+*eth0*
+ the master interface
+
+*lan1*
+ a slave interface
+
+*lan2*
+ another slave interface
+
+*lan3*
+ a third slave interface
+
+*wan*
+ A slave interface dedicated for upstream traffic
+
+Further Ethernet interfaces can be configured similar.

+NXP SJA1105 switch driver

+
+- SJA1105E: First generation, no TTEthernet
+- SJA1105T: First generation, TTEthernet
+- SJA1105P: Second generation, no TTEthernet, no SGMII

+
+These are SPI-managed automotive switches, with all ports being gigabit
+capable, and supporting MII/RMII/RGMII and optionally SGMII on one port.
+
+Being automotive parts, their configuration interface is geared towards
+set-and-forget use, with minimal dynamic interaction at runtime. They
+require a static configuration to be composed by software and packed
+with CRC and table headers, and sent over SPI.
+
+The static configuration is composed of several configuration tables. Each
+table takes a number of entries. Some configuration tables can be (partially)
+reconfigured at runtime, some not. Some tables are mandatory, some not:
+
+============================= ================== =============================
+Table Mandatory Reconfigurable
+============================= ================== =============================
+Schedule no no
+Schedule entry points if Scheduling no
+VL Lookup no no
+VL Policing if VL Lookup no
+VL Forwarding if VL Lookup no
+L2 Lookup no no
+L2 Policing yes no
+VLAN Lookup yes yes
+L2 Forwarding yes partially (fully on P/Q/R/S)
+MAC Config yes partially (fully on P/Q/R/S)
+Schedule Params if Scheduling no
+Schedule Entry Points Params if Scheduling no
+VL Forwarding Params if VL Forwarding no
+L2 Lookup Params no partially (fully on P/Q/R/S)
+L2 Forwarding Params yes no
+Clock Sync Params no no
+AVB Params no no
+General Params yes partially
+Retagging no yes
+xMII Params yes no
+SGMII no yes
+============================= ================== =============================
+
+
+Also the configuration is write-only (software cannot read it back from the
+switch except for very few exceptions).
+
+The driver creates a static configuration at probe time, and keeps it at
+all times in memory, as a shadow for the hardware state. When required to
+change a hardware setting, the static configuration is also updated.
+If that changed setting can be transmitted to the switch through the dynamic
+reconfiguration interface, it is; otherwise the switch is reset and
+reprogrammed with the updated static configuration.
+
+Traffic support
+===============
+
+The switches do not support switch tagging in hardware. But they do support
+customizing the TPID by which VLAN traffic is identified as such. The switch
+driver is leveraging ``CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_8021Q`` by requesting that special
+VLANs (with a custom TPID of ``ETH_P_EDSA`` instead of ``ETH_P_8021Q``) are
+installed on its ports when not in ``vlan_filtering`` mode. This does not
+interfere with the reception and transmission of real 802.1Q-tagged traffic,
+because the switch does no longer parse those packets as VLAN after the TPID
+change.
+The TPID is restored when ``vlan_filtering`` is requested by the user through
+the bridge layer, and general IP termination becomes no longer possible through
+the switch netdevices in this mode.
+
+The switches have two programmable filters for link-local destination MACs.
+These are used to trap BPDUs and PTP traffic to the master netdevice, and are
+further used to support STP and 1588 ordinary clock/boundary clock
+functionality.
+
+The following traffic modes are supported over the switch netdevices:
+
++--------------------+------------+------------------+------------------+
+| | Standalone | Bridged with | Bridged with |
+| | ports | vlan_filtering 0 | vlan_filtering 1 |
++====================+============+==================+==================+
+| Regular traffic | Yes | Yes | No (use master) |
++--------------------+------------+------------------+------------------+
+| Management traffic | Yes | Yes | Yes |
+| (BPDU, PTP) | | | |
++--------------------+------------+------------------+------------------+
+
+Switching features
+==================
+
+The driver supports the configuration of L2 forwarding rules in hardware for
+port bridging. The forwarding, broadcast and flooding domain between ports can
+be restricted through two methods: either at the L2 forwarding level (isolate
+one bridge's ports from another's) or at the VLAN port membership level
+(isolate ports within the same bridge). The final forwarding decision taken by
+the hardware is a logical AND of these two sets of rules.
+
+The hardware tags all traffic internally with a port-based VLAN (pvid), or it
+decodes the VLAN information from the 802.1Q tag. Advanced VLAN classification
+is not possible. Once attributed a VLAN tag, frames are checked against the
+port's membership rules and dropped at ingress if they don't match any VLAN.
+This behavior is available when switch ports are enslaved to a bridge with
+``vlan_filtering 1``.
+
+Normally the hardware is not configurable with respect to VLAN awareness, but
+by changing what TPID the switch searches 802.1Q tags for, the semantics of a
+bridge with ``vlan_filtering 0`` can be kept (accept all traffic, tagged or
+untagged), and therefore this mode is also supported.
+
+Segregating the switch ports in multiple bridges is supported (e.g. 2 + 2), but
+all bridges should have the same level of VLAN awareness (either both have
+``vlan_filtering`` 0, or both 1). Also an inevitable limitation of the fact
+that VLAN awareness is global at the switch level is that once a bridge with
+``vlan_filtering`` enslaves at least one switch port, the other un-bridged
+ports are no longer available for standalone traffic termination.
+
+Topology and loop detection through STP is supported.
+
+L2 FDB manipulation (add/delete/dump) is currently possible for the first
+generation devices. Aging time of FDB entries, as well as enabling fully static
+management (no address learning and no flooding of unknown traffic) is not yet
+configurable in the driver.
+
+A special comment about bridging with other netdevices (illustrated with an
+example):
+
+A board has eth0, eth1, swp0@eth1, swp1@eth1, swp2@eth1, swp3@eth1.
+The switch ports (swp0-3) are under br0.
+It is desired that eth0 is turned into another switched port that communicates
+with swp0-3.
+
+If br0 has vlan_filtering 0, then eth0 can simply be added to br0 with the
+intended results.
+If br0 has vlan_filtering 1, then a new br1 interface needs to be created that
+enslaves eth0 and eth1 (the DSA master of the switch ports). This is because in
+this mode, the switch ports beneath br0 are not capable of regular traffic, and
+are only used as a conduit for switchdev operations.
+
+Device Tree bindings and board design
+=====================================
+
+This section references ``Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/dsa/sja1105.txt``
+and aims to showcase some potential switch caveats.
+
+RMII PHY role and out-of-band signaling
+---------------------------------------
+
+In the RMII spec, the 50 MHz clock signals are either driven by the MAC or by
+an external oscillator (but not by the PHY).
+But the spec is rather loose and devices go outside it in several ways.
+Some PHYs go against the spec and may provide an output pin where they source
+the 50 MHz clock themselves, in an attempt to be helpful.
+On the other hand, the SJA1105 is only binary configurable - when in the RMII
+MAC role it will also attempt to drive the clock signal. To prevent this from
+happening it must be put in RMII PHY role.
+But doing so has some unintended consequences.
+In the RMII spec, the PHY can transmit extra out-of-band signals via RXD[1:0].
+These are practically some extra code words (/J/ and /K/) sent prior to the
+preamble of each frame. The MAC does not have this out-of-band signaling
+mechanism defined by the RMII spec.
+So when the SJA1105 port is put in PHY role to avoid having 2 drivers on the
+clock signal, inevitably an RMII PHY-to-PHY connection is created. The SJA1105
+emulates a PHY interface fully and generates the /J/ and /K/ symbols prior to
+frame preambles, which the real PHY is not expected to understand. So the PHY
+simply encodes the extra symbols received from the SJA1105-as-PHY onto the
+100Base-Tx wire.
+On the other side of the wire, some link partners might discard these extra
+symbols, while others might choke on them and discard the entire Ethernet
+frames that follow along. This looks like packet loss with some link partners
+but not with others.
+The take-away is that in RMII mode, the SJA1105 must be let to drive the
+reference clock if connected to a PHY.
+
+RGMII fixed-link and internal delays
+------------------------------------
+
+As mentioned in the bindings document, the second generation of devices has
+tunable delay lines as part of the MAC, which can be used to establish the
+correct RGMII timing budget.
+When powered up, these can shift the Rx and Tx clocks with a phase difference
+between 73.8 and 101.7 degrees.
+The catch is that the delay lines need to lock onto a clock signal with a
+stable frequency. This means that there must be at least 2 microseconds of
+silence between the clock at the old vs at the new frequency. Otherwise the
+lock is lost and the delay lines must be reset (powered down and back up).
+In RGMII the clock frequency changes with link speed (125 MHz at 1000 Mbps, 25
+MHz at 100 Mbps and 2.5 MHz at 10 Mbps), and link speed might change during the
+AN process.
+In the situation where the switch port is connected through an RGMII fixed-link
+to a link partner whose link state life cycle is outside the control of Linux
+(such as a different SoC), then the delay lines would remain unlocked (and
+inactive) until there is manual intervention (ifdown/ifup on the switch port).
+The take-away is that in RGMII mode, the switch's internal delays are only
+reliable if the link partner never changes link speeds, or if it does, it does
+so in a way that is coordinated with the switch port (practically, both ends of
+the fixed-link are under control of the same Linux system).
+As to why would a fixed-link interface ever change link speeds: there are
+Ethernet controllers out there which come out of reset in 100 Mbps mode, and
+their driver inevitably needs to change the speed and clock frequency if it's
+required to work at gigabit.
+
+MDIO bus and PHY management
+---------------------------
+
+The SJA1105 does not have an MDIO bus and does not perform in-band AN either.
+Therefore there is no link state notification coming from the switch device.
+A board would need to hook up the PHYs connected to the switch to any other
+MDIO bus available to Linux within the system (e.g. to the DSA master's MDIO
+bus). Link state management then works by the driver manually keeping in sync
+(over SPI commands) the MAC link speed with the settings negotiated by the PHY.

+PHY interface modes
+===================
+
+The PHY interface mode supplied in the phy_connect() family of functions
+defines the initial operating mode of the PHY interface. This is not
+guaranteed to remain constant; there are PHYs which dynamically change
+their interface mode without software interaction depending on the
+negotiation results.
+
+Some of the interface modes are described below:
+
+``PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_1000BASEX``
+ This defines the 1000BASE-X single-lane serdes link as defined by the
+ 802.3 standard section 36. The link operates at a fixed bit rate of
+ 1.25Gbaud using a 10B/8B encoding scheme, resulting in an underlying
+ data rate of 1Gbps. Embedded in the data stream is a 16-bit control
+ word which is used to negotiate the duplex and pause modes with the
+ remote end. This does not include "up-clocked" variants such as 2.5Gbps
+ speeds (see below.)
+
+``PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_2500BASEX``
+ This defines a variant of 1000BASE-X which is clocked 2.5 times faster,
+ than the 802.3 standard giving a fixed bit rate of 3.125Gbaud.
+
+``PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_SGMII``
+ This is used for Cisco SGMII, which is a modification of 1000BASE-X
+ as defined by the 802.3 standard. The SGMII link consists of a single
+ serdes lane running at a fixed bit rate of 1.25Gbaud with 10B/8B
+ encoding. The underlying data rate is 1Gbps, with the slower speeds of
+ 100Mbps and 10Mbps being achieved through replication of each data symbol.
+ The 802.3 control word is re-purposed to send the negotiated speed and
+ duplex information from to the MAC, and for the MAC to acknowledge
+ receipt. This does not include "up-clocked" variants such as 2.5Gbps
+ speeds.
+
+ Note: mismatched SGMII vs 1000BASE-X configuration on a link can
+ successfully pass data in some circumstances, but the 16-bit control
+ word will not be correctly interpreted, which may cause mismatches in
+ duplex, pause or other settings. This is dependent on the MAC and/or
+ PHY behaviour.

+Kernel TLS offload
+==================
+
+Kernel TLS operation
+====================
+
+Linux kernel provides TLS connection offload infrastructure. Once a TCP
+connection is in ``ESTABLISHED`` state user space can enable the TLS Upper
+Layer Protocol (ULP) and install the cryptographic connection state.
+For details regarding the user-facing interface refer to the TLS
+documentation in :ref:`Documentation/networking/tls.rst <kernel_tls>`.
+
+``ktls`` can operate in three modes:
+
+ * Software crypto mode (``TLS_SW``) - CPU handles the cryptography.
+ In most basic cases only crypto operations synchronous with the CPU
+ can be used, but depending on calling context CPU may utilize
+ asynchronous crypto accelerators. The use of accelerators introduces extra
+ latency on socket reads (decryption only starts when a read syscall
+ is made) and additional I/O load on the system.
+ * Packet-based NIC offload mode (``TLS_HW``) - the NIC handles crypto
+ on a packet by packet basis, provided the packets arrive in order.
+ This mode integrates best with the kernel stack and is described in detail
+ in the remaining part of this document
+ (``ethtool`` flags ``tls-hw-tx-offload`` and ``tls-hw-rx-offload``).
+ * Full TCP NIC offload mode (``TLS_HW_RECORD``) - mode of operation where
+ NIC driver and firmware replace the kernel networking stack
+ with its own TCP handling, it is not usable in production environments
+ making use of the Linux networking stack for example any firewalling
+ abilities or QoS and packet scheduling (``ethtool`` flag ``tls-hw-record``).
+
+The operation mode is selected automatically based on device configuration,
+offload opt-in or opt-out on per-connection basis is not currently supported.
+
+TX
+--
+
+At a high level user write requests are turned into a scatter list, the TLS ULP
+intercepts them, inserts record framing, performs encryption (in ``TLS_SW``
+mode) and then hands the modified scatter list to the TCP layer. From this
+point on the TCP stack proceeds as normal.
+
+In ``TLS_HW`` mode the encryption is not performed in the TLS ULP.
+Instead packets reach a device driver, the driver will mark the packets
+for crypto offload based on the socket the packet is attached to,
+and send them to the device for encryption and transmission.
+
+RX
+--
+
+On the receive side if the device handled decryption and authentication
+successfully, the driver will set the decrypted bit in the associated
+:c:type:`struct sk_buff <sk_buff>`. The packets reach the TCP stack and
+are handled normally. ``ktls`` is informed when data is queued to the socket
+and the ``strparser`` mechanism is used to delineate the records. Upon read
+request, records are retrieved from the socket and passed to decryption routine.
+If device decrypted all the segments of the record the decryption is skipped,
+otherwise software path handles decryption.

+ Layers of Kernel TLS stack
+
+Device configuration
+====================
+
+During driver initialization device sets the ``NETIF_F_HW_TLS_RX`` and
+``NETIF_F_HW_TLS_TX`` features and installs its
+:c:type:`struct tlsdev_ops <tlsdev_ops>`
+pointer in the :c:member:`tlsdev_ops` member of the
+:c:type:`struct net_device <net_device>`.
+
+When TLS cryptographic connection state is installed on a ``ktls`` socket
+(note that it is done twice, once for RX and once for TX direction,
+and the two are completely independent), the kernel checks if the underlying
+network device is offload-capable and attempts the offload. In case offload
+fails the connection is handled entirely in software using the same mechanism
+as if the offload was never tried.
+
+Offload request is performed via the :c:member:`tls_dev_add` callback of
+:c:type:`struct tlsdev_ops <tlsdev_ops>`:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int (*tls_dev_add)(struct net_device *netdev, struct sock *sk,
+ enum tls_offload_ctx_dir direction,
+ struct tls_crypto_info *crypto_info,
+ u32 start_offload_tcp_sn);
+
+``direction`` indicates whether the cryptographic information is for
+the received or transmitted packets. Driver uses the ``sk`` parameter
+to retrieve the connection 5-tuple and socket family (IPv4 vs IPv6).
+Cryptographic information in ``crypto_info`` includes the key, iv, salt
+as well as TLS record sequence number. ``start_offload_tcp_sn`` indicates
+which TCP sequence number corresponds to the beginning of the record with
+sequence number from ``crypto_info``. The driver can add its state
+at the end of kernel structures (see :c:member:`driver_state` members
+in ``include/net/tls.h``) to avoid additional allocations and pointer
+dereferences.
+
+TX
+--
+
+After TX state is installed, the stack guarantees that the first segment
+of the stream will start exactly at the ``start_offload_tcp_sn`` sequence
+number, simplifying TCP sequence number matching.
+
+TX offload being fully initialized does not imply that all segments passing
+through the driver and which belong to the offloaded socket will be after
+the expected sequence number and will have kernel record information.
+In particular, already encrypted data may have been queued to the socket
+before installing the connection state in the kernel.
+
+RX
+--
+
+In RX direction local networking stack has little control over the segmentation,
+so the initial records' TCP sequence number may be anywhere inside the segment.
+
+Normal operation
+================
+
+At the minimum the device maintains the following state for each connection, in
+each direction:
+
+ * crypto secrets (key, iv, salt)
+ * crypto processing state (partial blocks, partial authentication tag, etc.)
+ * record metadata (sequence number, processing offset and length)
+ * expected TCP sequence number
+
+There are no guarantees on record length or record segmentation. In particular
+segments may start at any point of a record and contain any number of records.
+Assuming segments are received in order, the device should be able to perform
+crypto operations and authentication regardless of segmentation. For this
+to be possible device has to keep small amount of segment-to-segment state.
+This includes at least:
+
+ * partial headers (if a segment carried only a part of the TLS header)
+ * partial data block
+ * partial authentication tag (all data had been seen but part of the
+ authentication tag has to be written or read from the subsequent segment)
+
+Record reassembly is not necessary for TLS offload. If the packets arrive
+in order the device should be able to handle them separately and make
+forward progress.
+
+TX
+--
+
+The kernel stack performs record framing reserving space for the authentication
+tag and populating all other TLS header and tailer fields.
+
+Both the device and the driver maintain expected TCP sequence numbers
+due to the possibility of retransmissions and the lack of software fallback
+once the packet reaches the device.
+For segments passed in order, the driver marks the packets with
+a connection identifier (note that a 5-tuple lookup is insufficient to identify
+packets requiring HW offload, see the :ref:`5tuple_problems` section)
+and hands them to the device. The device identifies the packet as requiring
+TLS handling and confirms the sequence number matches its expectation.
+The device performs encryption and authentication of the record data.
+It replaces the authentication tag and TCP checksum with correct values.
+
+RX
+--
+
+Before a packet is DMAed to the host (but after NIC's embedded switching
+and packet transformation functions) the device validates the Layer 4
+checksum and performs a 5-tuple lookup to find any TLS connection the packet
+may belong to (technically a 4-tuple
+lookup is sufficient - IP addresses and TCP port numbers, as the protocol
+is always TCP). If connection is matched device confirms if the TCP sequence
+number is the expected one and proceeds to TLS handling (record delineation,
+decryption, authentication for each record in the packet). The device leaves
+the record framing unmodified, the stack takes care of record decapsulation.
+Device indicates successful handling of TLS offload in the per-packet context
+(descriptor) passed to the host.
+
+Upon reception of a TLS offloaded packet, the driver sets
+the :c:member:`decrypted` mark in :c:type:`struct sk_buff <sk_buff>`
+corresponding to the segment. Networking stack makes sure decrypted
+and non-decrypted segments do not get coalesced (e.g. by GRO or socket layer)
+and takes care of partial decryption.
+
+Resync handling
+===============
+
+In presence of packet drops or network packet reordering, the device may lose
+synchronization with the TLS stream, and require a resync with the kernel's
+TCP stack.
+
+Note that resync is only attempted for connections which were successfully
+added to the device table and are in TLS_HW mode. For example,
+if the table was full when cryptographic state was installed in the kernel,
+such connection will never get offloaded. Therefore the resync request
+does not carry any cryptographic connection state.
+
+TX
+--
+
+Segments transmitted from an offloaded socket can get out of sync
+in similar ways to the receive side-retransmissions - local drops
+are possible, though network reorders are not. There are currently
+two mechanisms for dealing with out of order segments.
+
+Crypto state rebuilding
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Whenever an out of order segment is transmitted the driver provides
+the device with enough information to perform cryptographic operations.
+This means most likely that the part of the record preceding the current
+segment has to be passed to the device as part of the packet context,
+together with its TCP sequence number and TLS record number. The device
+can then initialize its crypto state, process and discard the preceding
+data (to be able to insert the authentication tag) and move onto handling
+the actual packet.
+
+In this mode depending on the implementation the driver can either ask
+for a continuation with the crypto state and the new sequence number
+(next expected segment is the one after the out of order one), or continue
+with the previous stream state - assuming that the out of order segment
+was just a retransmission. The former is simpler, and does not require
+retransmission detection therefore it is the recommended method until
+such time it is proven inefficient.
+
+Next record sync
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Whenever an out of order segment is detected the driver requests
+that the ``ktls`` software fallback code encrypt it. If the segment's
+sequence number is lower than expected the driver assumes retransmission
+and doesn't change device state. If the segment is in the future, it
+may imply a local drop, the driver asks the stack to sync the device
+to the next record state and falls back to software.
+
+Resync request is indicated with:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ void tls_offload_tx_resync_request(struct sock *sk, u32 got_seq, u32 exp_seq)
+
+Until resync is complete driver should not access its expected TCP
+sequence number (as it will be updated from a different context).
+Following helper should be used to test if resync is complete:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ bool tls_offload_tx_resync_pending(struct sock *sk)
+
+Next time ``ktls`` pushes a record it will first send its TCP sequence number
+and TLS record number to the driver. Stack will also make sure that
+the new record will start on a segment boundary (like it does when
+the connection is initially added).
+
+RX
+--
+
+A small amount of RX reorder events may not require a full resynchronization.
+In particular the device should not lose synchronization
+when record boundary can be recovered:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: tls-offload-reorder-good.svg
+ :alt: reorder of non-header segment
+ :align: center
+
+ Reorder of non-header segment
+
+Green segments are successfully decrypted, blue ones are passed
+as received on wire, red stripes mark start of new records.
+
+In above case segment 1 is received and decrypted successfully.
+Segment 2 was dropped so 3 arrives out of order. The device knows
+the next record starts inside 3, based on record length in segment 1.
+Segment 3 is passed untouched, because due to lack of data from segment 2
+the remainder of the previous record inside segment 3 cannot be handled.
+The device can, however, collect the authentication algorithm's state
+and partial block from the new record in segment 3 and when 4 and 5
+arrive continue decryption. Finally when 2 arrives it's completely outside
+of expected window of the device so it's passed as is without special
+handling. ``ktls`` software fallback handles the decryption of record
+spanning segments 1, 2 and 3. The device did not get out of sync,
+even though two segments did not get decrypted.
+
+Kernel synchronization may be necessary if the lost segment contained
+a record header and arrived after the next record header has already passed:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: tls-offload-reorder-bad.svg
+ :alt: reorder of header segment
+ :align: center
+
+ Reorder of segment with a TLS header
+
+In this example segment 2 gets dropped, and it contains a record header.
+Device can only detect that segment 4 also contains a TLS header
+if it knows the length of the previous record from segment 2. In this case
+the device will lose synchronization with the stream.
+
+Stream scan resynchronization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When the device gets out of sync and the stream reaches TCP sequence
+numbers more than a max size record past the expected TCP sequence number,
+the device starts scanning for a known header pattern. For example
+for TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 subsequent bytes of value ``0x03 0x03`` occur
+in the SSL/TLS version field of the header. Once pattern is matched
+the device continues attempting parsing headers at expected locations
+(based on the length fields at guessed locations).
+Whenever the expected location does not contain a valid header the scan
+is restarted.
+
+When the header is matched the device sends a confirmation request
+to the kernel, asking if the guessed location is correct (if a TLS record
+really starts there), and which record sequence number the given header had.
+The kernel confirms the guessed location was correct and tells the device
+the record sequence number. Meanwhile, the device had been parsing
+and counting all records since the just-confirmed one, it adds the number
+of records it had seen to the record number provided by the kernel.
+At this point the device is in sync and can resume decryption at next
+segment boundary.
+
+In a pathological case the device may latch onto a sequence of matching
+headers and never hear back from the kernel (there is no negative
+confirmation from the kernel). The implementation may choose to periodically
+restart scan. Given how unlikely falsely-matching stream is, however,
+periodic restart is not deemed necessary.
+
+Special care has to be taken if the confirmation request is passed
+asynchronously to the packet stream and record may get processed
+by the kernel before the confirmation request.
+
+Stack-driven resynchronization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The driver may also request the stack to perform resynchronization
+whenever it sees the records are no longer getting decrypted.
+If the connection is configured in this mode the stack automatically
+schedules resynchronization after it has received two completely encrypted
+records.
+
+The stack waits for the socket to drain and informs the device about
+the next expected record number and its TCP sequence number. If the
+records continue to be received fully encrypted stack retries the
+synchronization with an exponential back off (first after 2 encrypted
+records, then after 4 records, after 8, after 16... up until every
+128 records).
+
+Error handling
+==============
+
+TX
+--
+
+Packets may be redirected or rerouted by the stack to a different
+device than the selected TLS offload device. The stack will handle
+such condition using the :c:func:`sk_validate_xmit_skb` helper
+(TLS offload code installs :c:func:`tls_validate_xmit_skb` at this hook).
+Offload maintains information about all records until the data is
+fully acknowledged, so if skbs reach the wrong device they can be handled
+by software fallback.
+
+Any device TLS offload handling error on the transmission side must result
+in the packet being dropped. For example if a packet got out of order
+due to a bug in the stack or the device, reached the device and can't
+be encrypted such packet must be dropped.
+
+RX
+--
+
+If the device encounters any problems with TLS offload on the receive
+side it should pass the packet to the host's networking stack as it was
+received on the wire.
+
+For example authentication failure for any record in the segment should
+result in passing the unmodified packet to the software fallback. This means
+packets should not be modified "in place". Splitting segments to handle partial
+decryption is not advised. In other words either all records in the packet
+had been handled successfully and authenticated or the packet has to be passed
+to the host's stack as it was on the wire (recovering original packet in the
+driver if device provides precise error is sufficient).
+
+The Linux networking stack does not provide a way of reporting per-packet
+decryption and authentication errors, packets with errors must simply not
+have the :c:member:`decrypted` mark set.
+
+A packet should also not be handled by the TLS offload if it contains
+incorrect checksums.
+
+Performance metrics
+===================
+
+TLS offload can be characterized by the following basic metrics:
+
+ * max connection count
+ * connection installation rate
+ * connection installation latency
+ * total cryptographic performance
+
+Note that each TCP connection requires a TLS session in both directions,
+the performance may be reported treating each direction separately.
+
+Max connection count
+--------------------
+
+The number of connections device can support can be exposed via
+``devlink resource`` API.
+
+Total cryptographic performance
+-------------------------------
+
+Offload performance may depend on segment and record size.
+
+Overload of the cryptographic subsystem of the device should not have
+significant performance impact on non-offloaded streams.
+
+Statistics
+==========
+
+Following minimum set of TLS-related statistics should be reported
+by the driver:
+
+ * ``rx_tls_decrypted`` - number of successfully decrypted TLS segments
+ * ``tx_tls_encrypted`` - number of in-order TLS segments passed to device
+ for encryption
+ * ``tx_tls_ooo`` - number of TX packets which were part of a TLS stream
+ but did not arrive in the expected order
+ * ``tx_tls_drop_no_sync_data`` - number of TX packets dropped because
+ they arrived out of order and associated record could not be found
+
+Notable corner cases, exceptions and additional requirements
+============================================================
+
+.. _5tuple_problems:
+
+5-tuple matching limitations
+----------------------------
+
+The device can only recognize received packets based on the 5-tuple
+of the socket. Current ``ktls`` implementation will not offload sockets
+routed through software interfaces such as those used for tunneling
+or virtual networking. However, many packet transformations performed
+by the networking stack (most notably any BPF logic) do not require
+any intermediate software device, therefore a 5-tuple match may
+consistently miss at the device level. In such cases the device
+should still be able to perform TX offload (encryption) and should
+fallback cleanly to software decryption (RX).
+
+Out of order
+------------
+
+Introducing extra processing in NICs should not cause packets to be
+transmitted or received out of order, for example pure ACK packets
+should not be reordered with respect to data segments.
+
+Ingress reorder
+---------------
+
+A device is permitted to perform packet reordering for consecutive
+TCP segments (i.e. placing packets in the correct order) but any form
+of additional buffering is disallowed.
+
+Coexistence with standard networking offload features
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+Offloaded ``ktls`` sockets should support standard TCP stack features
+transparently. Enabling device TLS offload should not cause any difference
+in packets as seen on the wire.
+
+Transport layer transparency
+----------------------------
+
+The device should not modify any packet headers for the purpose
+of the simplifying TLS offload.
+
+The device should not depend on any packet headers beyond what is strictly
+necessary for TLS offload.
+
+Segment drops
+-------------
+
+Dropping packets is acceptable only in the event of catastrophic
+system errors and should never be used as an error handling mechanism
+in cases arising from normal operation. In other words, reliance
+on TCP retransmissions to handle corner cases is not acceptable.
+
+TLS device features
+-------------------
+
+Drivers should ignore the changes to TLS the device feature flags.
+These flags will be acted upon accordingly by the core ``ktls`` code.
+TLS device feature flags only control adding of new TLS connection
+offloads, old connections will remain active after flags are cleared.
+
+Known bugs
+==========
+
+skb_orphan() leaks clear text
+-----------------------------
+
+Currently drivers depend on the :c:member:`sk` member of
+:c:type:`struct sk_buff <sk_buff>` to identify segments requiring
+encryption. Any operation which removes or does not preserve the socket
+association such as :c:func:`skb_orphan` or :c:func:`skb_clone`
+will cause the driver to miss the packets and lead to clear text leaks.
+
+Redirects leak clear text
+-------------------------
+
+In the RX direction, if segment has already been decrypted by the device
+and it gets redirected or mirrored - clear text will be transmitted out.

+================================================
+Generic bitfield packing and unpacking functions
+================================================
+
+Problem statement
+-----------------
+
+When working with hardware, one has to choose between several approaches of
+interfacing with it.
+One can memory-map a pointer to a carefully crafted struct over the hardware
+device's memory region, and access its fields as struct members (potentially
+declared as bitfields). But writing code this way would make it less portable,
+due to potential endianness mismatches between the CPU and the hardware device.
+Additionally, one has to pay close attention when translating register
+definitions from the hardware documentation into bit field indices for the
+structs. Also, some hardware (typically networking equipment) tends to group
+its register fields in ways that violate any reasonable word boundaries
+(sometimes even 64 bit ones). This creates the inconvenience of having to
+define "high" and "low" portions of register fields within the struct.
+A more robust alternative to struct field definitions would be to extract the
+required fields by shifting the appropriate number of bits. But this would
+still not protect from endianness mismatches, except if all memory accesses
+were performed byte-by-byte. Also the code can easily get cluttered, and the
+high-level idea might get lost among the many bit shifts required.
+Many drivers take the bit-shifting approach and then attempt to reduce the
+clutter with tailored macros, but more often than not these macros take
+shortcuts that still prevent the code from being truly portable.
+
+The solution
+------------
+
+This API deals with 2 basic operations:
+ - Packing a CPU-usable number into a memory buffer (with hardware
+ constraints/quirks)
+ - Unpacking a memory buffer (which has hardware constraints/quirks)
+ into a CPU-usable number.
+
+The API offers an abstraction over said hardware constraints and quirks,
+over CPU endianness and therefore between possible mismatches between
+the two.
+
+The basic unit of these API functions is the u64. From the CPU's
+perspective, bit 63 always means bit offset 7 of byte 7, albeit only
+logically. The question is: where do we lay this bit out in memory?
+
+The following examples cover the memory layout of a packed u64 field.
+The byte offsets in the packed buffer are always implicitly 0, 1, ... 7.
+What the examples show is where the logical bytes and bits sit.
+
+1. Normally (no quirks), we would do it like this:
+
+63 62 61 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 32
+7 6 5 4
+31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
+3 2 1 0
+
+That is, the MSByte (7) of the CPU-usable u64 sits at memory offset 0, and the
+LSByte (0) of the u64 sits at memory offset 7.
+This corresponds to what most folks would regard to as "big endian", where
+bit i corresponds to the number 2^i. This is also referred to in the code
+comments as "logical" notation.
+
+
+2. If QUIRK_MSB_ON_THE_RIGHT is set, we do it like this:
+
+56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39
+7 6 5 4
+24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+3 2 1 0
+
+That is, QUIRK_MSB_ON_THE_RIGHT does not affect byte positioning, but
+inverts bit offsets inside a byte.
+
+
+3. If QUIRK_LITTLE_ENDIAN is set, we do it like this:
+
+39 38 37 36 35 34 33 32 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 63 62 61 60 59 58 57 56
+4 5 6 7
+7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24
+0 1 2 3
+
+Therefore, QUIRK_LITTLE_ENDIAN means that inside the memory region, every
+byte from each 4-byte word is placed at its mirrored position compared to
+the boundary of that word.
+
+4. If QUIRK_MSB_ON_THE_RIGHT and QUIRK_LITTLE_ENDIAN are both set, we do it
+ like this:
+
+32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63
+4 5 6 7
+0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
+0 1 2 3
+
+
+5. If just QUIRK_LSW32_IS_FIRST is set, we do it like this:
+
+31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
+3 2 1 0
+63 62 61 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 32
+7 6 5 4
+
+In this case the 8 byte memory region is interpreted as follows: first
+4 bytes correspond to the least significant 4-byte word, next 4 bytes to
+the more significant 4-byte word.
+
+
+6. If QUIRK_LSW32_IS_FIRST and QUIRK_MSB_ON_THE_RIGHT are set, we do it like
+ this:
+
+24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

+7 6 5 4
+
+
+7. If QUIRK_LSW32_IS_FIRST and QUIRK_LITTLE_ENDIAN are set, it looks like
+ this:
+
+7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24
+0 1 2 3
+39 38 37 36 35 34 33 32 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 63 62 61 60 59 58 57 56
+4 5 6 7
+
+
+8. If QUIRK_LSW32_IS_FIRST, QUIRK_LITTLE_ENDIAN and QUIRK_MSB_ON_THE_RIGHT
+ are set, it looks like this:
+
+0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
+0 1 2 3
+32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63
+4 5 6 7
+
+
+We always think of our offsets as if there were no quirk, and we translate
+them afterwards, before accessing the memory region.
+
+Intended use
+------------
+
+Drivers that opt to use this API first need to identify which of the above 3
+quirk combinations (for a total of 8) match what the hardware documentation
+describes. Then they should wrap the packing() function, creating a new
+xxx_packing() that calls it using the proper QUIRK_* one-hot bits set.
+
+The packing() function returns an int-encoded error code, which protects the
+programmer against incorrect API use. The errors are not expected to occur
+durring runtime, therefore it is reasonable for xxx_packing() to return void
+and simply swallow those errors. Optionally it can dump stack or print the
+error description.

Author: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org>
@@ -56,3 +56,35 @@ POWER9. Loads and stores to the watchpoint locations will not be
trapped in GDB. The watchpoint is remembered, so if the guest is
migrated back to the POWER8 host, it will start working again.
+Force enabling the DAWR
+=============================
+Kernels (since ~v5.2) have an option to force enable the DAWR via:
+
+ echo Y > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/dawr_enable_dangerous
+
+This enables the DAWR even on POWER9.
+
+This is a dangerous setting, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
+
+Some users may not care about a bad user crashing their box
+(ie. single user/desktop systems) and really want the DAWR. This
+allows them to force enable DAWR.
+
+This flag can also be used to disable DAWR access. Once this is
+cleared, all DAWR access should be cleared immediately and your
+machine once again safe from crashing.
+
+Userspace may get confused by toggling this. If DAWR is force
+enabled/disabled between getting the number of breakpoints (via
+PTRACE_GETHWDBGINFO) and setting the breakpoint, userspace will get an
+inconsistent view of what's available. Similarly for guests.
+
+For the DAWR to be enabled in a KVM guest, the DAWR needs to be force
+enabled in the host AND the guest. For this reason, this won't work on
+POWERVM as it doesn't allow the HCALL to work. Writes of 'Y' to the
+dawr_enable_dangerous file will fail if the hypervisor doesn't support
+writing the DAWR.
+
+To double check the DAWR is working, run this kernel selftest:
+ tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/ptrace/ptrace-hwbreak.c
+Any errors/failures/skips mean something is wrong.

-Register Set
-============
-The current architectures have the following registers.
-
-16 General propose registers, 32 bit on s/390 and 64 bit on z/Architecture,
-r0-r15 (or gpr0-gpr15), used for arithmetic and addressing.
-
-16 Control registers, 32 bit on s/390 and 64 bit on z/Architecture, cr0-cr15,
-kernel usage only, used for memory management, interrupt control, debugging
-control etc.
-
-16 Access registers (ar0-ar15), 32 bit on both s/390 and z/Architecture,
-normally not used by normal programs but potentially could be used as
-temporary storage. These registers have a 1:1 association with general
-purpose registers and are designed to be used in the so-called access
-register mode to select different address spaces.
-Access register 0 (and access register 1 on z/Architecture, which needs a
-64 bit pointer) is currently used by the pthread library as a pointer to
-the current running threads private area.
-
-16 64 bit floating point registers (fp0-fp15 ) IEEE & HFP floating
-point format compliant on G5 upwards & a Floating point control reg (FPC)
-4 64 bit registers (fp0,fp2,fp4 & fp6) HFP only on older machines.
-Note:
-Linux (currently) always uses IEEE & emulates G5 IEEE format on older machines,
-( provided the kernel is configured for this ).
-
-
-The PSW is the most important register on the machine it
-is 64 bit on s/390 & 128 bit on z/Architecture & serves the roles of
-a program counter (pc), condition code register,memory space designator.
-In IBM standard notation I am counting bit 0 as the MSB.
-It has several advantages over a normal program counter
-in that you can change address translation & program counter
-in a single instruction. To change address translation,
-e.g. switching address translation off requires that you
-have a logical=physical mapping for the address you are
-currently running at.
-
- Bit Value
-s/390 z/Architecture
-0 0 Reserved ( must be 0 ) otherwise specification exception occurs.
-
-1 1 Program Event Recording 1 PER enabled,
- PER is used to facilitate debugging e.g. single stepping.
-
-2-4 2-4 Reserved ( must be 0 ).
-
-5 5 Dynamic address translation 1=DAT on.
-
-6 6 Input/Output interrupt Mask
-
-7 7 External interrupt Mask used primarily for interprocessor
- signalling and clock interrupts.
-
-8-11 8-11 PSW Key used for complex memory protection mechanism
- (not used under linux)
-
-12 12 1 on s/390 0 on z/Architecture
-
-13 13 Machine Check Mask 1=enable machine check interrupts
-
-14 14 Wait State. Set this to 1 to stop the processor except for
- interrupts and give time to other LPARS. Used in CPU idle in
- the kernel to increase overall usage of processor resources.
-
-15 15 Problem state ( if set to 1 certain instructions are disabled )
- all linux user programs run with this bit 1
- ( useful info for debugging under VM ).
-
-16-17 16-17 Address Space Control
-
- 00 Primary Space Mode:
- The register CR1 contains the primary address-space control ele-
- ment (PASCE), which points to the primary space region/segment
- table origin.

-Prefix Page(s)
---------------
-This per cpu memory area is too intimately tied to the processor not to mention.
-It exists between the real addresses 0-4096 on s/390 and between 0-8192 on
-z/Architecture and is exchanged with one page on s/390 or two pages on
-z/Architecture in absolute storage by the set prefix instruction during Linux
-startup.
-This page is mapped to a different prefix for each processor in an SMP
-configuration (assuming the OS designer is sane of course).
-Bytes 0-512 (200 hex) on s/390 and 0-512, 4096-4544, 4604-5119 currently on
-z/Architecture are used by the processor itself for holding such information
-as exception indications and entry points for exceptions.
-Bytes after 0xc00 hex are used by linux for per processor globals on s/390 and
-z/Architecture (there is a gap on z/Architecture currently between 0xc00 and
-0x1000, too, which is used by Linux).
-The closest thing to this on traditional architectures is the interrupt
-vector table. This is a good thing & does simplify some of the kernel coding
-however it means that we now cannot catch stray NULL pointers in the
-kernel without hard coded checks.
-
-
-
-Address Spaces on Intel Linux
-=============================
-
-The traditional Intel Linux is approximately mapped as follows forgive
-the ascii art.
-0xFFFFFFFF 4GB Himem *****************
- * *
- * Kernel Space *
- * *
- ***************** ****************
-User Space Himem * User Stack * * *
-(typically 0xC0000000 3GB ) ***************** * *
- * Shared Libs * * Next Process *
- ***************** * to *
- * * <== * Run * <==
- * User Program * * *
- * Data BSS * * *
- * Text * * *
- * Sections * * *
-0x00000000 ***************** ****************
-
-Now it is easy to see that on Intel it is quite easy to recognise a kernel
-address as being one greater than user space himem (in this case 0xC0000000),
-and addresses of less than this are the ones in the current running program on
-this processor (if an smp box).
-If using the virtual machine ( VM ) as a debugger it is quite difficult to
-know which user process is running as the address space you are looking at
-could be from any process in the run queue.
-
-The limitation of Intels addressing technique is that the linux
-kernel uses a very simple real address to virtual addressing technique
-of Real Address=Virtual Address-User Space Himem.
-This means that on Intel the kernel linux can typically only address
-Himem=0xFFFFFFFF-0xC0000000=1GB & this is all the RAM these machines
-can typically use.
-They can lower User Himem to 2GB or lower & thus be
-able to use 2GB of RAM however this shrinks the maximum size
-of User Space from 3GB to 2GB they have a no win limit of 4GB unless
-they go to 64 Bit.
-
-
-On 390 our limitations & strengths make us slightly different.
-For backward compatibility we are only allowed use 31 bits (2GB)
-of our 32 bit addresses, however, we use entirely separate address
-spaces for the user & kernel.
-
-This means we can support 2GB of non Extended RAM on s/390, & more
-with the Extended memory management swap device &
-currently 4TB of physical memory currently on z/Architecture.
-
-
-Address Spaces on Linux for s/390 & z/Architecture
-==================================================
-
-Our addressing scheme is basically as follows:
-
- Primary Space Home Space
-Himem 0x7fffffff 2GB on s/390 ***************** ****************
-currently 0x3ffffffffff (2^42)-1 * User Stack * * *
-on z/Architecture. ***************** * *
- * Shared Libs * * *
- ***************** * *
- * * * Kernel *
- * User Program * * *
- * Data BSS * * *
- * Text * * *
- * Sections * * *
-0x00000000 ***************** ****************
-
-This also means that we need to look at the PSW problem state bit and the
-addressing mode to decide whether we are looking at user or kernel space.
-
-User space runs in primary address mode (or access register mode within
-the vdso code).
-
-The kernel usually also runs in home space mode, however when accessing
-user space the kernel switches to primary or secondary address mode if
-the mvcos instruction is not available or if a compare-and-swap (futex)
-instruction on a user space address is performed.
-
-When also looking at the ASCE control registers, this means:
-
-User space:
-- runs in primary or access register mode
-- cr1 contains the user asce
-- cr7 contains the user asce
-- cr13 contains the kernel asce
-
-Kernel space:
-- runs in home space mode
-- cr1 contains the user or kernel asce
- -> the kernel asce is loaded when a uaccess requires primary or
- secondary address mode
-- cr7 contains the user or kernel asce, (changed with set_fs())
-- cr13 contains the kernel asce
-
-In case of uaccess the kernel changes to:
-- primary space mode in case of a uaccess (copy_to_user) and uses
- e.g. the mvcp instruction to access user space. However the kernel
- will stay in home space mode if the mvcos instruction is available
-- secondary space mode in case of futex atomic operations, so that the
- instructions come from primary address space and data from secondary
- space
-
-In case of KVM, the kernel runs in home space mode, but cr1 gets switched
-to contain the gmap asce before the SIE instruction gets executed. When
-the SIE instruction is finished, cr1 will be switched back to contain the
-user asce.
-
-
-Virtual Addresses on s/390 & z/Architecture
-===========================================
-
-A virtual address on s/390 is made up of 3 parts
-The SX (segment index, roughly corresponding to the PGD & PMD in Linux
-terminology) being bits 1-11.
-The PX (page index, corresponding to the page table entry (pte) in Linux
-terminology) being bits 12-19.
-The remaining bits BX (the byte index are the offset in the page )
-i.e. bits 20 to 31.
-
-On z/Architecture in linux we currently make up an address from 4 parts.
-The region index bits (RX) 0-32 we currently use bits 22-32
-The segment index (SX) being bits 33-43
-The page index (PX) being bits 44-51
-The byte index (BX) being bits 52-63
-
-Notes:
-1) s/390 has no PMD so the PMD is really the PGD also.
-A lot of this stuff is defined in pgtable.h.
-
-2) Also seeing as s/390's page indexes are only 1k in size
-(bits 12-19 x 4 bytes per pte ) we use 1 ( page 4k )
-to make the best use of memory by updating 4 segment indices
-entries each time we mess with a PMD & use offsets
-0,1024,2048 & 3072 in this page as for our segment indexes.
-On z/Architecture our page indexes are now 2k in size
-( bits 12-19 x 8 bytes per pte ) we do a similar trick
-but only mess with 2 segment indices each time we mess with
-a PMD.
-
-3) As z/Architecture supports up to a massive 5-level page table lookup we
-can only use 3 currently on Linux ( as this is all the generic kernel
-currently supports ) however this may change in future
-this allows us to access ( according to my sums )
-4TB of virtual storage per process i.e.
-4096*512(PTES)*1024(PMDS)*2048(PGD) = 4398046511104 bytes,
-enough for another 2 or 3 of years I think :-).
-to do this we use a region-third-table designation type in
-our address space control registers.
-
-
-The Linux for s/390 & z/Architecture Kernel Task Structure
-==========================================================
-Each process/thread under Linux for S390 has its own kernel task_struct
-defined in linux/include/linux/sched.h
-The S390 on initialisation & resuming of a process on a cpu sets
-the __LC_KERNEL_STACK variable in the spare prefix area for this cpu
-(which we use for per-processor globals).
-
-The kernel stack pointer is intimately tied with the task structure for
-each processor as follows.
-
- s/390
- ************************
- * 1 page kernel stack *
- * ( 4K ) *
- ************************
- * 1 page task_struct *
- * ( 4K ) *
-8K aligned ************************
-
- z/Architecture
- ************************
- * 2 page kernel stack *
- * ( 8K ) *
- ************************
- * 2 page task_struct *
- * ( 8K ) *
-16K aligned ************************
-
-What this means is that we don't need to dedicate any register or global
-variable to point to the current running process & can retrieve it with the
-following very simple construct for s/390 & one very similar for z/Architecture.
-
-static inline struct task_struct * get_current(void)
-{
- struct task_struct *current;
- __asm__("lhi %0,-8192\n\t"
- "nr %0,15"
- : "=r" (current) );
- return current;
-}
-
-i.e. just anding the current kernel stack pointer with the mask -8192.
-Thankfully because Linux doesn't have support for nested IO interrupts
-& our devices have large buffers can survive interrupts being shut for
-short amounts of time we don't need a separate stack for interrupts.
-
-
-
-
-Register Usage & Stackframes on Linux for s/390 & z/Architecture
-=================================================================
-Overview:
----------
-This is the code that gcc produces at the top & the bottom of
-each function. It usually is fairly consistent & similar from
-function to function & if you know its layout you can probably
-make some headway in finding the ultimate cause of a problem
-after a crash without a source level debugger.
-
-Note: To follow stackframes requires a knowledge of C or Pascal &
-limited knowledge of one assembly language.
-
-It should be noted that there are some differences between the
-s/390 and z/Architecture stack layouts as the z/Architecture stack layout
-didn't have to maintain compatibility with older linkage formats.
-
-Glossary:
----------
-alloca:
-This is a built in compiler function for runtime allocation
-of extra space on the callers stack which is obviously freed
-up on function exit ( e.g. the caller may choose to allocate nothing
-of a buffer of 4k if required for temporary purposes ), it generates
-very efficient code ( a few cycles ) when compared to alternatives
-like malloc.
-
-automatics: These are local variables on the stack,
-i.e they aren't in registers & they aren't static.
-
-back-chain:
-This is a pointer to the stack pointer before entering a
-framed functions ( see frameless function ) prologue got by
-dereferencing the address of the current stack pointer,
- i.e. got by accessing the 32 bit value at the stack pointers
-current location.
-
-base-pointer:
-This is a pointer to the back of the literal pool which
-is an area just behind each procedure used to store constants
-in each function.
-
-call-clobbered: The caller probably needs to save these registers if there
-is something of value in them, on the stack or elsewhere before making a
-call to another procedure so that it can restore it later.
-
-epilogue:
-The code generated by the compiler to return to the caller.
-
-frameless-function
-A frameless function in Linux for s390 & z/Architecture is one which doesn't
-need more than the register save area (96 bytes on s/390, 160 on z/Architecture)
-given to it by the caller.
-A frameless function never:
-1) Sets up a back chain.
-2) Calls alloca.
-3) Calls other normal functions
-4) Has automatics.
-
-GOT-pointer:
-This is a pointer to the global-offset-table in ELF
-( Executable Linkable Format, Linux'es most common executable format ),
-all globals & shared library objects are found using this pointer.
-
-lazy-binding
-ELF shared libraries are typically only loaded when routines in the shared
-library are actually first called at runtime. This is lazy binding.
-
-procedure-linkage-table
-This is a table found from the GOT which contains pointers to routines
-in other shared libraries which can't be called to by easier means.
-
-prologue:
-The code generated by the compiler to set up the stack frame.
-
-outgoing-args:
-This is extra area allocated on the stack of the calling function if the
-parameters for the callee's cannot all be put in registers, the same
-area can be reused by each function the caller calls.
-
-routine-descriptor:
-A COFF executable format based concept of a procedure reference
-actually being 8 bytes or more as opposed to a simple pointer to the routine.
-This is typically defined as follows
-Routine Descriptor offset 0=Pointer to Function
-Routine Descriptor offset 4=Pointer to Table of Contents
-The table of contents/TOC is roughly equivalent to a GOT pointer.
-& it means that shared libraries etc. can be shared between several
-environments each with their own TOC.
-
-
-static-chain: This is used in nested functions a concept adopted from pascal
-by gcc not used in ansi C or C++ ( although quite useful ), basically it
-is a pointer used to reference local variables of enclosing functions.
-You might come across this stuff once or twice in your lifetime.
-
-e.g.
-The function below should return 11 though gcc may get upset & toss warnings
-about unused variables.
-int FunctionA(int a)
-{
- int b;
- FunctionC(int c)
- {
- b=c+1;
- }
- FunctionC(10);
- return(b);
-}

-s/390 & z/Architecture Register usage
-=====================================
-r0 used by syscalls/assembly call-clobbered
-r1 used by syscalls/assembly call-clobbered
-r2 argument 0 / return value 0 call-clobbered
-r3 argument 1 / return value 1 (if long long) call-clobbered
-r4 argument 2 call-clobbered
-r5 argument 3 call-clobbered
-r6 argument 4 saved
-r7 pointer-to arguments 5 to ... saved
-r8 this & that saved
-r9 this & that saved
-r10 static-chain ( if nested function ) saved
-r11 frame-pointer ( if function used alloca ) saved
-r12 got-pointer saved
-r13 base-pointer saved
-r14 return-address saved
-r15 stack-pointer saved
-
-f0 argument 0 / return value ( float/double ) call-clobbered
-f2 argument 1 call-clobbered
-f4 z/Architecture argument 2 saved
-f6 z/Architecture argument 3 saved
-The remaining floating points
-f1,f3,f5 f7-f15 are call-clobbered.
-
-Notes:
-------
-1) The only requirement is that registers which are used
-by the callee are saved, e.g. the compiler is perfectly
-capable of using r11 for purposes other than a frame a
-frame pointer if a frame pointer is not needed.
-2) In functions with variable arguments e.g. printf the calling procedure
-is identical to one without variable arguments & the same number of
-parameters. However, the prologue of this function is somewhat more
-hairy owing to it having to move these parameters to the stack to
-get va_start, va_arg & va_end to work.
-3) Access registers are currently unused by gcc but are used in
-the kernel. Possibilities exist to use them at the moment for
-temporary storage but it isn't recommended.
-4) Only 4 of the floating point registers are used for
-parameter passing as older machines such as G3 only have only 4
-& it keeps the stack frame compatible with other compilers.
-However with IEEE floating point emulation under linux on the
-older machines you are free to use the other 12.
-5) A long long or double parameter cannot be have the
-first 4 bytes in a register & the second four bytes in the
-outgoing args area. It must be purely in the outgoing args
-area if crossing this boundary.
-6) Floating point parameters are mixed with outgoing args
-on the outgoing args area in the order the are passed in as parameters.
-7) Floating point arguments 2 & 3 are saved in the outgoing args area for
-z/Architecture
-

-Comments on the function test
------------------------------
-1) It didn't need to set up a pointer to the constant pool gpr13 as it is not
-used ( :-( ).
-2) This is a frameless function & no stack is bought.
-3) The compiler was clever enough to recognise that it could return the
-value in r2 as well as use it for the passed in parameter ( :-) ).
-4) The basr ( branch relative & save ) trick works as follows the instruction
-has a special case with r0,r0 with some instruction operands is understood as
-the literal value 0, some risc architectures also do this ). So now
-we are branching to the next address & the address new program counter is
-in r13,so now we subtract the size of the function prologue we have executed
-+ the size of the literal pool to get to the top of the literal pool

-Compiling programs for debugging on Linux for s/390 & z/Architecture
-====================================================================
--gdwarf-2 now works it should be considered the default debugging
-format for s/390 & z/Architecture as it is more reliable for debugging
-shared libraries, normal -g debugging works much better now
-Thanks to the IBM java compiler developers bug reports.
-
-This is typically done adding/appending the flags -g or -gdwarf-2 to the
-CFLAGS & LDFLAGS variables Makefile of the program concerned.
-
-If using gdb & you would like accurate displays of registers &
- stack traces compile without optimisation i.e make sure
-that there is no -O2 or similar on the CFLAGS line of the Makefile &
-the emitted gcc commands, obviously this will produce worse code
-( not advisable for shipment ) but it is an aid to the debugging process.
-
-This aids debugging because the compiler will copy parameters passed in
-in registers onto the stack so backtracing & looking at passed in
-parameters will work, however some larger programs which use inline functions
-will not compile without optimisation.
-
-Debugging with optimisation has since much improved after fixing
-some bugs, please make sure you are using gdb-5.0 or later developed
-after Nov'2000.

-Debugging under VM
-==================
-
-Notes
------
-Addresses & values in the VM debugger are always hex never decimal
-Address ranges are of the format <HexValue1>-<HexValue2> or
-<HexValue1>.<HexValue2>
-For example, the address range 0x2000 to 0x3000 can be described as 2000-3000
-or 2000.1000
-
-The VM Debugger is case insensitive.
-
-VM's strengths are usually other debuggers weaknesses you can get at any
-resource no matter how sensitive e.g. memory management resources, change
-address translation in the PSW. For kernel hacking you will reap dividends if
-you get good at it.
-
-The VM Debugger displays operators but not operands, and also the debugger
-displays useful information on the same line as the author of the code probably
-felt that it was a good idea not to go over the 80 columns on the screen.
-This isn't as unintuitive as it may seem as the s/390 instructions are easy to
-decode mentally and you can make a good guess at a lot of them as all the
-operands are nibble (half byte aligned).
-So if you have an objdump listing by hand, it is quite easy to follow, and if
-you don't have an objdump listing keep a copy of the s/390 Reference Summary
-or alternatively the s/390 principles of operation next to you.
-e.g. even I can guess that
-0001AFF8' LR 180F CC 0
-is a ( load register ) lr r0,r15
-
-Also it is very easy to tell the length of a 390 instruction from the 2 most
-significant bits in the instruction (not that this info is really useful except
-if you are trying to make sense of a hexdump of code).
-Here is a table
-Bits Instruction Length
-------------------------------------------
-00 2 Bytes
-01 4 Bytes
-10 4 Bytes
-11 6 Bytes
-
-The debugger also displays other useful info on the same line such as the
-addresses being operated on destination addresses of branches & condition codes.
-e.g.
-00019736' AHI A7DAFF0E CC 1
-000198BA' BRC A7840004 -> 000198C2' CC 0
-000198CE' STM 900EF068 >> 0FA95E78 CC 2
-
-
-
-Useful VM debugger commands
----------------------------
-
-I suppose I'd better mention this before I start
-to list the current active traces do
-Q TR
-there can be a maximum of 255 of these per set
-( more about trace sets later ).
-To stop traces issue a
-TR END.
-To delete a particular breakpoint issue
-TR DEL <breakpoint number>
-
-The PA1 key drops to CP mode so you can issue debugger commands,
-Doing alt c (on my 3270 console at least ) clears the screen.
-hitting b <enter> comes back to the running operating system
-from cp mode ( in our case linux ).
-It is typically useful to add shortcuts to your profile.exec file
-if you have one ( this is roughly equivalent to autoexec.bat in DOS ).
-file here are a few from mine.
-/* this gives me command history on issuing f12 */
-set pf12 retrieve
-/* this continues */
-set pf8 imm b
-/* goes to trace set a */
-set pf1 imm tr goto a
-/* goes to trace set b */
-set pf2 imm tr goto b
-/* goes to trace set c */
-set pf3 imm tr goto c
-
-
-
-Instruction Tracing
--------------------
-Setting a simple breakpoint
-TR I PSWA <address>
-To debug a particular function try
-TR I R <function address range>
-TR I on its own will single step.
-TR I DATA <MNEMONIC> <OPTIONAL RANGE> will trace for particular mnemonics
-e.g.
-TR I DATA 4D R 0197BC.4000
-will trace for BAS'es ( opcode 4D ) in the range 0197BC.4000
-if you were inclined you could add traces for all branch instructions &
-suffix them with the run prefix so you would have a backtrace on screen
-when a program crashes.
-TR BR <INTO OR FROM> will trace branches into or out of an address.
-e.g.
-TR BR INTO 0 is often quite useful if a program is getting awkward & deciding
-to branch to 0 & crashing as this will stop at the address before in jumps to 0.
-TR I R <address range> RUN cmd d g
-single steps a range of addresses but stays running &
-displays the gprs on each step.
-
-
-
-Displaying & modifying Registers
---------------------------------
-D G will display all the gprs
-Adding a extra G to all the commands is necessary to access the full 64 bit
-content in VM on z/Architecture. Obviously this isn't required for access
-registers as these are still 32 bit.
-e.g. DGG instead of DG
-D X will display all the control registers
-D AR will display all the access registers
-D AR4-7 will display access registers 4 to 7
-CPU ALL D G will display the GRPS of all CPUS in the configuration
-D PSW will display the current PSW
-st PSW 2000 will put the value 2000 into the PSW &
-cause crash your machine.
-D PREFIX displays the prefix offset
-
-
-Displaying Memory
------------------
-To display memory mapped using the current PSW's mapping try
-D <range>
-To make VM display a message each time it hits a particular address and
-continue try
-D I<range> will disassemble/display a range of instructions.
-ST addr 32 bit word will store a 32 bit aligned address
-D T<range> will display the EBCDIC in an address (if you are that way inclined)
-D R<range> will display real addresses ( without DAT ) but with prefixing.
-There are other complex options to display if you need to get at say home space
-but are in primary space the easiest thing to do is to temporarily
-modify the PSW to the other addressing mode, display the stuff & then
-restore it.
-
-
-
-Hints
------
-If you want to issue a debugger command without halting your virtual machine
-with the PA1 key try prefixing the command with #CP e.g.
-#cp tr i pswa 2000
-also suffixing most debugger commands with RUN will cause them not
-to stop just display the mnemonic at the current instruction on the console.
-If you have several breakpoints you want to put into your program &
-you get fed up of cross referencing with System.map
-you can do the following trick for several symbols.
-grep do_signal System.map
-which emits the following among other things
-0001f4e0 T do_signal
-now you can do
-
-TR I PSWA 0001f4e0 cmd msg * do_signal
-This sends a message to your own console each time do_signal is entered.
-( As an aside I wrote a perl script once which automatically generated a REXX
-script with breakpoints on every kernel procedure, this isn't a good idea
-because there are thousands of these routines & VM can only set 255 breakpoints
-at a time so you nearly had to spend as long pruning the file down as you would
-entering the msgs by hand), however, the trick might be useful for a single
-object file. In the 3270 terminal emulator x3270 there is a very useful option
-in the file menu called "Save Screen In File" - this is very good for keeping a
-copy of traces.
-
-From CMS help <command name> will give you online help on a particular command.
-e.g.
-HELP DISPLAY
-
-Also CP has a file called profile.exec which automatically gets called
-on startup of CMS ( like autoexec.bat ), keeping on a DOS analogy session
-CP has a feature similar to doskey, it may be useful for you to
-use profile.exec to define some keystrokes.
-e.g.
-SET PF9 IMM B
-This does a single step in VM on pressing F8.
-SET PF10 ^
-This sets up the ^ key.
-which can be used for ^c (ctrl-c),^z (ctrl-z) which can't be typed directly
-into some 3270 consoles.
-SET PF11 ^-
-This types the starting keystrokes for a sysrq see SysRq below.
-SET PF12 RETRIEVE
-This retrieves command history on pressing F12.
-
-
-Sometimes in VM the display is set up to scroll automatically this
-can be very annoying if there are messages you wish to look at
-to stop this do
-TERM MORE 255 255
-This will nearly stop automatic screen updates, however it will
-cause a denial of service if lots of messages go to the 3270 console,
-so it would be foolish to use this as the default on a production machine.
-
-
-Tracing particular processes
-----------------------------
-The kernel's text segment is intentionally at an address in memory that it will
-very seldom collide with text segments of user programs ( thanks Martin ),
-this simplifies debugging the kernel.
-However it is quite common for user processes to have addresses which collide
-this can make debugging a particular process under VM painful under normal
-circumstances as the process may change when doing a
-TR I R <address range>.
-Thankfully after reading VM's online help I figured out how to debug
-I particular process.
-
-Your first problem is to find the STD ( segment table designation )
-of the program you wish to debug.
-There are several ways you can do this here are a few
-1) objdump --syms <program to be debugged> | grep main
-To get the address of main in the program.
-tr i pswa <address of main>
-Start the program, if VM drops to CP on what looks like the entry
-point of the main function this is most likely the process you wish to debug.
-Now do a D X13 or D XG13 on z/Architecture.
-On 31 bit the STD is bits 1-19 ( the STO segment table origin )
-& 25-31 ( the STL segment table length ) of CR13.
-now type
-TR I R STD <CR13's value> 0.7fffffff
-e.g.
-TR I R STD 8F32E1FF 0.7fffffff
-Another very useful variation is
-TR STORE INTO STD <CR13's value> <address range>
-for finding out when a particular variable changes.
-
-An alternative way of finding the STD of a currently running process
-is to do the following, ( this method is more complex but
-could be quite convenient if you aren't updating the kernel much &
-so your kernel structures will stay constant for a reasonable period of
-time ).
-
-grep task /proc/<pid>/status
-from this you should see something like
-task: 0f160000 ksp: 0f161de8 pt_regs: 0f161f68
-This now gives you a pointer to the task structure.
-Now make CC:="s390-gcc -g" kernel/sched.s
-To get the task_struct stabinfo.
-( task_struct is defined in include/linux/sched.h ).
-Now we want to look at
-task->active_mm->pgd
-on my machine the active_mm in the task structure stab is
-active_mm:(4,12),672,32
-its offset is 672/8=84=0x54
-the pgd member in the mm_struct stab is
-pgd:(4,6)=*(29,5),96,32
-so its offset is 96/8=12=0xc
-
-so we'll
-hexdump -s 0xf160054 /dev/mem | more
-i.e. task_struct+active_mm offset
-to look at the active_mm member
-f160054 0fee cc60 0019 e334 0000 0000 0000 0011
-hexdump -s 0x0feecc6c /dev/mem | more
-i.e. active_mm+pgd offset
-feecc6c 0f2c 0000 0000 0001 0000 0001 0000 0010
-we get something like
-now do
-TR I R STD <pgd|0x7f> 0.7fffffff
-i.e. the 0x7f is added because the pgd only
-gives the page table origin & we need to set the low bits
-to the maximum possible segment table length.
-TR I R STD 0f2c007f 0.7fffffff
-on z/Architecture you'll probably need to do
-TR I R STD <pgd|0x7> 0.ffffffffffffffff
-to set the TableType to 0x1 & the Table length to 3.
-
-
-
-Tracing Program Exceptions
---------------------------
-If you get a crash which says something like
-illegal operation or specification exception followed by a register dump
-You can restart linux & trace these using the tr prog <range or value> trace
-option.
-
-
-The most common ones you will normally be tracing for is
-1=operation exception
-2=privileged operation exception
-4=protection exception
-5=addressing exception
-6=specification exception
-10=segment translation exception
-11=page translation exception
-
-The full list of these is on page 22 of the current s/390 Reference Summary.
-e.g.
-tr prog 10 will trace segment translation exceptions.
-tr prog on its own will trace all program interruption codes.
-
-Trace Sets
-----------
-On starting VM you are initially in the INITIAL trace set.
-You can do a Q TR to verify this.
-If you have a complex tracing situation where you wish to wait for instance
-till a driver is open before you start tracing IO, but know in your
-heart that you are going to have to make several runs through the code till you
-have a clue whats going on.
-
-What you can do is
-TR I PSWA <Driver open address>
-hit b to continue till breakpoint
-reach the breakpoint
-now do your
-TR GOTO B
-TR IO 7c08-7c09 inst int run
-or whatever the IO channels you wish to trace are & hit b
-
-To got back to the initial trace set do
-TR GOTO INITIAL
-& the TR I PSWA <Driver open address> will be the only active breakpoint again.
-
-
-Tracing linux syscalls under VM
--------------------------------
-Syscalls are implemented on Linux for S390 by the Supervisor call instruction
-(SVC). There 256 possibilities of these as the instruction is made up of a 0xA
-opcode and the second byte being the syscall number. They are traced using the
-simple command:
-TR SVC <Optional value or range>
-the syscalls are defined in linux/arch/s390/include/asm/unistd.h
-e.g. to trace all file opens just do
-TR SVC 5 ( as this is the syscall number of open )
-
-
-SMP Specific commands
----------------------
-To find out how many cpus you have
-Q CPUS displays all the CPU's available to your virtual machine
-To find the cpu that the current cpu VM debugger commands are being directed at
-do Q CPU to change the current cpu VM debugger commands are being directed at do
-CPU <desired cpu no>
-
-On a SMP guest issue a command to all CPUs try prefixing the command with cpu
-all. To issue a command to a particular cpu try cpu <cpu number> e.g.
-CPU 01 TR I R 2000.3000
-If you are running on a guest with several cpus & you have a IO related problem
-& cannot follow the flow of code but you know it isn't smp related.
-from the bash prompt issue
-shutdown -h now or halt.
-do a Q CPUS to find out how many cpus you have
-detach each one of them from cp except cpu 0
-by issuing a
-DETACH CPU 01-(number of cpus in configuration)
-& boot linux again.
-TR SIGP will trace inter processor signal processor instructions.
-DEFINE CPU 01-(number in configuration)
-will get your guests cpus back.
-
-
-Help for displaying ascii textstrings
--------------------------------------
-On the very latest VM Nucleus'es VM can now display ascii
-( thanks Neale for the hint ) by doing
-D TX<lowaddr>.<len>
-e.g.
-D TX0.100
-
-Alternatively
-=============
-Under older VM debuggers (I love EBDIC too) you can use following little
-program which converts a command line of hex digits to ascii text. It can be
-compiled under linux and you can copy the hex digits from your x3270 terminal
-to your xterm if you are debugging from a linuxbox.
-
-This is quite useful when looking at a parameter passed in as a text string
-under VM ( unless you are good at decoding ASCII in your head ).
-
-e.g. consider tracing an open syscall
-TR SVC 5
-We have stopped at a breakpoint
-000151B0' SVC 0A05 -> 0001909A' CC 0
-
-D 20.8 to check the SVC old psw in the prefix area and see was it from userspace
-(for the layout of the prefix area consult the "Fixed Storage Locations"
-chapter of the s/390 Reference Summary if you have it available).
-V00000020 070C2000 800151B2
-The problem state bit wasn't set & it's also too early in the boot sequence
-for it to be a userspace SVC if it was we would have to temporarily switch the
-psw to user space addressing so we could get at the first parameter of the open
-in gpr2.
-Next do a
-D G2
-GPR 2 = 00014CB4
-Now display what gpr2 is pointing to
-D 00014CB4.20
-V00014CB4 2F646576 2F636F6E 736F6C65 00001BF5
-V00014CC4 FC00014C B4001001 E0001000 B8070707
-Now copy the text till the first 00 hex ( which is the end of the string
-to an xterm & do hex2ascii on it.
-hex2ascii 2F646576 2F636F6E 736F6C65 00
-outputs
-Decoded Hex:=/ d e v / c o n s o l e 0x00
-We were opening the console device,
-
-You can compile the code below yourself for practice :-),

-Stack tracing under VM
-----------------------
-A basic backtrace
------------------
-
-Here are the tricks I use 9 out of 10 times it works pretty well,
-
-When your backchain reaches a dead end
---------------------------------------
-This can happen when an exception happens in the kernel and the kernel is
-entered twice. If you reach the NULL pointer at the end of the back chain you
-should be able to sniff further back if you follow the following tricks.
-1) A kernel address should be easy to recognise since it is in
-primary space & the problem state bit isn't set & also
-The Hi bit of the address is set.
-2) Another backchain should also be easy to recognise since it is an
-address pointing to another address approximately 100 bytes or 0x70 hex
-behind the current stackpointer.
-
-
-Here is some practice.
-boot the kernel & hit PA1 at some random time
-d g to display the gprs, this should display something like
-GPR 0 = 00000001 00156018 0014359C 00000000
-GPR 4 = 00000001 001B8888 000003E0 00000000
-GPR 8 = 00100080 00100084 00000000 000FE000
-GPR 12 = 00010400 8001B2DC 8001B36A 000FFED8
-Note that GPR14 is a return address but as we are real men we are going to
-trace the stack.
-display 0x40 bytes after the stack pointer.
-
-V000FFED8 000FFF38 8001B838 80014C8E 000FFF38
-V000FFEE8 00000000 00000000 000003E0 00000000
-V000FFEF8 00100080 00100084 00000000 000FE000
-V000FFF08 00010400 8001B2DC 8001B36A 000FFED8
-
-
-Ah now look at whats in sp+56 (sp+0x38) this is 8001B36A our saved r14 if
-you look above at our stackframe & also agrees with GPR14.
-
-now backchain
-d 000FFF38.40
-we now are taking the contents of SP to get our first backchain.
-
-V000FFF38 000FFFA0 00000000 00014995 00147094
-V000FFF48 00147090 001470A0 000003E0 00000000
-V000FFF58 00100080 00100084 00000000 001BF1D0
-V000FFF68 00010400 800149BA 80014CA6 000FFF38
-
-This displays a 2nd return address of 80014CA6
-
-now do d 000FFFA0.40 for our 3rd backchain
-
-V000FFFA0 04B52002 0001107F 00000000 00000000
-V000FFFB0 00000000 00000000 FF000000 0001107F
-V000FFFC0 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
-V000FFFD0 00010400 80010802 8001085A 000FFFA0
-
-
-our 3rd return address is 8001085A
-
-as the 04B52002 looks suspiciously like rubbish it is fair to assume that the
-kernel entry routines for the sake of optimisation don't set up a backchain.
-
-now look at System.map to see if the addresses make any sense.
-
-grep -i 0001b3 System.map
-outputs among other things
-0001b304 T cpu_idle
-so 8001B36A
-is cpu_idle+0x66 ( quiet the cpu is asleep, don't wake it )
-
-
-grep -i 00014 System.map
-produces among other things
-00014a78 T start_kernel
-so 0014CA6 is start_kernel+some hex number I can't add in my head.
-
-grep -i 00108 System.map
-this produces
-00010800 T _stext
-so 8001085A is _stext+0x5a
-
-Congrats you've done your first backchain.
-

-s/390 & z/Architecture IO Overview
-==================================
-
-I am not going to give a course in 390 IO architecture as this would take me
-quite a while and I'm no expert. Instead I'll give a 390 IO architecture
-summary for Dummies. If you have the s/390 principles of operation available
-read this instead. If nothing else you may find a few useful keywords in here
-and be able to use them on a web search engine to find more useful information.
-
-Unlike other bus architectures modern 390 systems do their IO using mostly
-fibre optics and devices such as tapes and disks can be shared between several
-mainframes. Also S390 can support up to 65536 devices while a high end PC based
-system might be choking with around 64.
-
-Here is some of the common IO terminology:
-
-Subchannel:
-This is the logical number most IO commands use to talk to an IO device. There
-can be up to 0x10000 (65536) of these in a configuration, typically there are a
-few hundred. Under VM for simplicity they are allocated contiguously, however
-on the native hardware they are not. They typically stay consistent between
-boots provided no new hardware is inserted or removed.
-Under Linux for s390 we use these as IRQ's and also when issuing an IO command
-(CLEAR SUBCHANNEL, HALT SUBCHANNEL, MODIFY SUBCHANNEL, RESUME SUBCHANNEL,
-START SUBCHANNEL, STORE SUBCHANNEL and TEST SUBCHANNEL). We use this as the ID
-of the device we wish to talk to. The most important of these instructions are
-START SUBCHANNEL (to start IO), TEST SUBCHANNEL (to check whether the IO
-completed successfully) and HALT SUBCHANNEL (to kill IO). A subchannel can have
-up to 8 channel paths to a device, this offers redundancy if one is not
-available.
-
-Device Number:
-This number remains static and is closely tied to the hardware. There are 65536
-of these, made up of a CHPID (Channel Path ID, the most significant 8 bits) and
-another lsb 8 bits. These remain static even if more devices are inserted or
-removed from the hardware. There is a 1 to 1 mapping between subchannels and
-device numbers, provided devices aren't inserted or removed.
-
-Channel Control Words:
-CCWs are linked lists of instructions initially pointed to by an operation
-request block (ORB), which is initially given to Start Subchannel (SSCH)
-command along with the subchannel number for the IO subsystem to process
-while the CPU continues executing normal code.
-CCWs come in two flavours, Format 0 (24 bit for backward compatibility) and
-Format 1 (31 bit). These are typically used to issue read and write (and many
-other) instructions. They consist of a length field and an absolute address
-field.
-Each IO typically gets 1 or 2 interrupts, one for channel end (primary status)
-when the channel is idle, and the second for device end (secondary status).
-Sometimes you get both concurrently. You check how the IO went on by issuing a
-TEST SUBCHANNEL at each interrupt, from which you receive an Interruption
-response block (IRB). If you get channel and device end status in the IRB
-without channel checks etc. your IO probably went okay. If you didn't you
-probably need to examine the IRB, extended status word etc.
-If an error occurs, more sophisticated control units have a facility known as
-concurrent sense. This means that if an error occurs Extended sense information
-will be presented in the Extended status word in the IRB. If not you have to
-issue a subsequent SENSE CCW command after the test subchannel.
-
-
-TPI (Test pending interrupt) can also be used for polled IO, but in
-multitasking multiprocessor systems it isn't recommended except for
-checking special cases (i.e. non looping checks for pending IO etc.).
-
-Store Subchannel and Modify Subchannel can be used to examine and modify
-operating characteristics of a subchannel (e.g. channel paths).
-
-Other IO related Terms:
-Sysplex: S390's Clustering Technology
-QDIO: S390's new high speed IO architecture to support devices such as gigabit
-ethernet, this architecture is also designed to be forward compatible with
-upcoming 64 bit machines.
-
-
-General Concepts
-
-Input Output Processors (IOP's) are responsible for communicating between
-the mainframe CPU's & the channel & relieve the mainframe CPU's from the
-burden of communicating with IO devices directly, this allows the CPU's to
-concentrate on data processing.
-
-IOP's can use one or more links ( known as channel paths ) to talk to each
-IO device. It first checks for path availability & chooses an available one,
-then starts ( & sometimes terminates IO ).
-There are two types of channel path: ESCON & the Parallel IO interface.
-
-IO devices are attached to control units, control units provide the
-logic to interface the channel paths & channel path IO protocols to
-the IO devices, they can be integrated with the devices or housed separately
-& often talk to several similar devices ( typical examples would be raid
-controllers or a control unit which connects to 1000 3270 terminals ).

-
-The 390 IO systems come in 2 flavours the current 390 machines support both
-
-The Older 360 & 370 Interface,sometimes called the Parallel I/O interface,
-sometimes called Bus-and Tag & sometimes Original Equipment Manufacturers
-Interface (OEMI).
-
-This byte wide Parallel channel path/bus has parity & data on the "Bus" cable
-and control lines on the "Tag" cable. These can operate in byte multiplex mode
-for sharing between several slow devices or burst mode and monopolize the
-channel for the whole burst. Up to 256 devices can be addressed on one of these
-cables. These cables are about one inch in diameter. The maximum unextended
-length supported by these cables is 125 Meters but this can be extended up to
-2km with a fibre optic channel extended such as a 3044. The maximum burst speed
-supported is 4.5 megabytes per second. However, some really old processors
-support only transfer rates of 3.0, 2.0 & 1.0 MB/sec.
-One of these paths can be daisy chained to up to 8 control units.
-
-
-ESCON if fibre optic it is also called FICON
-Was introduced by IBM in 1990. Has 2 fibre optic cables and uses either leds or
-lasers for communication at a signaling rate of up to 200 megabits/sec. As
-10bits are transferred for every 8 bits info this drops to 160 megabits/sec
-and to 18.6 Megabytes/sec once control info and CRC are added. ESCON only
-operates in burst mode.
-
-ESCONs typical max cable length is 3km for the led version and 20km for the
-laser version known as XDF (extended distance facility). This can be further
-extended by using an ESCON director which triples the above mentioned ranges.
-Unlike Bus & Tag as ESCON is serial it uses a packet switching architecture,
-the standard Bus & Tag control protocol is however present within the packets.
-Up to 256 devices can be attached to each control unit that uses one of these
-interfaces.
-
-Common 390 Devices include:
-Network adapters typically OSA2,3172's,2116's & OSA-E gigabit ethernet adapters,
-Consoles 3270 & 3215 (a teletype emulated under linux for a line mode console).
-DASD's direct access storage devices ( otherwise known as hard disks ).
-Tape Drives.
-CTC ( Channel to Channel Adapters ),
-ESCON or Parallel Cables used as a very high speed serial link
-between 2 machines.
-
-
-Debugging IO on s/390 & z/Architecture under VM
-===============================================
-
-Now we are ready to go on with IO tracing commands under VM
-
-A few self explanatory queries:
-Q OSA
-Q CTC
-Q DISK ( This command is CMS specific )
-Q DASD
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Q OSA on my machine returns
-OSA 7C08 ON OSA 7C08 SUBCHANNEL = 0000
-OSA 7C09 ON OSA 7C09 SUBCHANNEL = 0001
-OSA 7C14 ON OSA 7C14 SUBCHANNEL = 0002
-OSA 7C15 ON OSA 7C15 SUBCHANNEL = 0003
-
-If you have a guest with certain privileges you may be able to see devices
-which don't belong to you. To avoid this, add the option V.
-e.g.
-Q V OSA
-
-Now using the device numbers returned by this command we will
-Trace the io starting up on the first device 7c08 & 7c09
-In our simplest case we can trace the
-start subchannels
-like TR SSCH 7C08-7C09
-or the halt subchannels
-or TR HSCH 7C08-7C09
-MSCH's ,STSCH's I think you can guess the rest
-
-A good trick is tracing all the IO's and CCWS and spooling them into the reader
-of another VM guest so he can ftp the logfile back to his own machine. I'll do
-a small bit of this and give you a look at the output.
-
-1) Spool stdout to VM reader
-SP PRT TO (another vm guest ) or * for the local vm guest
-2) Fill the reader with the trace
-TR IO 7c08-7c09 INST INT CCW PRT RUN
-3) Start up linux
-i 00c
-4) Finish the trace
-TR END
-5) close the reader
-C PRT
-6) list reader contents
-RDRLIST
-7) copy it to linux4's minidisk
-RECEIVE / LOG TXT A1 ( replace
-8)
-filel & press F11 to look at it
-You should see something like:
-
-00020942' SSCH B2334000 0048813C CC 0 SCH 0000 DEV 7C08
- CPA 000FFDF0 PARM 00E2C9C4 KEY 0 FPI C0 LPM 80
- CCW 000FFDF0 E4200100 00487FE8 0000 E4240100 ........
- IDAL 43D8AFE8
- IDAL 0FB76000
-00020B0A' I/O DEV 7C08 -> 000197BC' SCH 0000 PARM 00E2C9C4
-00021628' TSCH B2354000 >> 00488164 CC 0 SCH 0000 DEV 7C08
- CCWA 000FFDF8 DEV STS 0C SCH STS 00 CNT 00EC
- KEY 0 FPI C0 CC 0 CTLS 4007
-00022238' STSCH B2344000 >> 00488108 CC 0 SCH 0000 DEV 7C08
-
-If you don't like messing up your readed ( because you possibly booted from it )
-you can alternatively spool it to another readers guest.
-
-
-Other common VM device related commands
----------------------------------------------
-These commands are listed only because they have
-been of use to me in the past & may be of use to
-you too. For more complete info on each of the commands
-use type HELP <command> from CMS.
-detaching devices
-DET <devno range>
-ATT <devno range> <guest>
-attach a device to guest * for your own guest
-READY <devno> cause VM to issue a fake interrupt.
-
-The VARY command is normally only available to VM administrators.
-VARY ON PATH <path> TO <devno range>
-VARY OFF PATH <PATH> FROM <devno range>
-This is used to switch on or off channel paths to devices.
-
-Q CHPID <channel path ID>
-This displays state of devices using this channel path
-D SCHIB <subchannel>
-This displays the subchannel information SCHIB block for the device.
-this I believe is also only available to administrators.
-DEFINE CTC <devno>
-defines a virtual CTC channel to channel connection
-2 need to be defined on each guest for the CTC driver to use.
-COUPLE devno userid remote devno
-Joins a local virtual device to a remote virtual device
-( commonly used for the CTC driver ).
-
-Building a VM ramdisk under CMS which linux can use
-def vfb-<blocksize> <subchannel> <number blocks>
-blocksize is commonly 4096 for linux.
-Formatting it
-format <subchannel> <driver letter e.g. x> (blksize <blocksize>
-
-Sharing a disk between multiple guests
-LINK userid devno1 devno2 mode password
-
-
-
-GDB on S390
-===========
-N.B. if compiling for debugging gdb works better without optimisation
-( see Compiling programs for debugging )
-
-invocation
-----------
-gdb <victim program> <optional corefile>
-
-Online help
------------
-help: gives help on commands
-e.g.
-help
-help display
-Note gdb's online help is very good use it.
-
-
-Assembly
---------
-info registers: displays registers other than floating point.
-info all-registers: displays floating points as well.
-disassemble: disassembles
-e.g.
-disassemble without parameters will disassemble the current function
-disassemble $pc $pc+10
-
-Viewing & modifying variables
------------------------------
-print or p: displays variable or register
-e.g. p/x $sp will display the stack pointer
-
-display: prints variable or register each time program stops
-e.g.
-display/x $pc will display the program counter
-display argc
-
-undisplay : undo's display's
-
-info breakpoints: shows all current breakpoints
-
-info stack: shows stack back trace (if this doesn't work too well, I'll show
-you the stacktrace by hand below).
-
-info locals: displays local variables.
-
-info args: display current procedure arguments.
-
-set args: will set argc & argv each time the victim program is invoked.
-
-set <variable>=value
-set argc=100
-set $pc=0
-
-
-
-Modifying execution
--------------------
-step: steps n lines of sourcecode
-step steps 1 line.
-step 100 steps 100 lines of code.
-
-next: like step except this will not step into subroutines
-
-stepi: steps a single machine code instruction.
-e.g. stepi 100
-
-nexti: steps a single machine code instruction but will not step into
-subroutines.
-
-finish: will run until exit of the current routine
-
-run: (re)starts a program
-
-cont: continues a program
-
-quit: exits gdb.
-
-
-breakpoints
-------------
-
-break
-sets a breakpoint
-e.g.
-
-break main
-
-break *$pc
-
-break *0x400618
-
-Here's a really useful one for large programs
-rbr
-Set a breakpoint for all functions matching REGEXP
-e.g.
-rbr 390
-will set a breakpoint with all functions with 390 in their name.
-
-info breakpoints
-lists all breakpoints
-
-delete: delete breakpoint by number or delete them all
-e.g.
-delete 1 will delete the first breakpoint
-delete will delete them all
-
-watch: This will set a watchpoint ( usually hardware assisted ),
-This will watch a variable till it changes
-e.g.
-watch cnt, will watch the variable cnt till it changes.
-As an aside unfortunately gdb's, architecture independent watchpoint code
-is inconsistent & not very good, watchpoints usually work but not always.
-
-info watchpoints: Display currently active watchpoints
-
-condition: ( another useful one )
-Specify breakpoint number N to break only if COND is true.
-Usage is `condition N COND', where N is an integer and COND is an
-expression to be evaluated whenever breakpoint N is reached.
-
-
-
-User defined functions/macros
------------------------------
-define: ( Note this is very very useful,simple & powerful )
-usage define <name> <list of commands> end
-
-examples which you should consider putting into .gdbinit in your home directory
-define d
-stepi
-disassemble $pc $pc+10
-end
-
-define e
-nexti
-disassemble $pc $pc+10
-end
-
-
-Other hard to classify stuff
-----------------------------
-signal n:
-sends the victim program a signal.
-e.g. signal 3 will send a SIGQUIT.
-
-info signals:
-what gdb does when the victim receives certain signals.
-
-list:
-e.g.
-list lists current function source
-list 1,10 list first 10 lines of current file.
-list test.c:1,10
-
-
-directory:
-Adds directories to be searched for source if gdb cannot find the source.
-(note it is a bit sensitive about slashes)
-e.g. To add the root of the filesystem to the searchpath do
-directory //
-
-
-call <function>
-This calls a function in the victim program, this is pretty powerful
-e.g.
-(gdb) call printf("hello world")
-outputs:
-$1 = 11
-
-You might now be thinking that the line above didn't work, something extra had
-to be done.
-(gdb) call fflush(stdout)
-hello world$2 = 0
-As an aside the debugger also calls malloc & free under the hood
-to make space for the "hello world" string.
-
-
-
-hints
------
-1) command completion works just like bash
-( if you are a bad typist like me this really helps )
-e.g. hit br <TAB> & cursor up & down :-).
-
-2) if you have a debugging problem that takes a few steps to recreate
-put the steps into a file called .gdbinit in your current working directory
-if you have defined a few extra useful user defined commands put these in
-your home directory & they will be read each time gdb is launched.
-
-A typical .gdbinit file might be.
-break main
-run
-break runtime_exception
-cont
-
-
-stack chaining in gdb by hand
------------------------------
-This is done using a the same trick described for VM
-p/x (*($sp+56))&0x7fffffff get the first backchain.
-
-For z/Architecture
-Replace 56 with 112 & ignore the &0x7fffffff
-in the macros below & do nasty casts to longs like the following
-as gdb unfortunately deals with printed arguments as ints which
-messes up everything.
-i.e. here is a 3rd backchain dereference
-p/x *(long *)(***(long ***)$sp+112)
-
-
-this outputs
-$5 = 0x528f18
-on my machine.
-Now you can use
-info symbol (*($sp+56))&0x7fffffff
-you might see something like.
-rl_getc + 36 in section .text telling you what is located at address 0x528f18
-Now do.
-p/x (*(*$sp+56))&0x7fffffff
-This outputs
-$6 = 0x528ed0
-Now do.
-info symbol (*(*$sp+56))&0x7fffffff
-rl_read_key + 180 in section .text
-now do
-p/x (*(**$sp+56))&0x7fffffff
-& so on.
-
-Disassembling instructions without debug info
----------------------------------------------
-gdb typically complains if there is a lack of debugging
-symbols in the disassemble command with
-"No function contains specified address." To get around
-this do
-x/<number lines to disassemble>xi <address>
-e.g.
-x/20xi 0x400730
-
-
-
-Note: Remember gdb has history just like bash you don't need to retype the
-whole line just use the up & down arrows.
-
-
-
-For more info
--------------
-From your linuxbox do
-man gdb or info gdb.
-
-core dumps
-----------
-What a core dump ?,
-A core dump is a file generated by the kernel (if allowed) which contains the
-registers and all active pages of the program which has crashed.
-From this file gdb will allow you to look at the registers, stack trace and
-memory of the program as if it just crashed on your system. It is usually
-called core and created in the current working directory.
-This is very useful in that a customer can mail a core dump to a technical
-support department and the technical support department can reconstruct what
-happened. Provided they have an identical copy of this program with debugging
-symbols compiled in and the source base of this build is available.
-In short it is far more useful than something like a crash log could ever hope
-to be.
-
-Why have I never seen one ?.
-Probably because you haven't used the command
-ulimit -c unlimited in bash
-to allow core dumps, now do
-ulimit -a
-to verify that the limit was accepted.
-
-A sample core dump
-To create this I'm going to do
-ulimit -c unlimited
-gdb
-to launch gdb (my victim app. ) now be bad & do the following from another
-telnet/xterm session to the same machine
-ps -aux | grep gdb
-kill -SIGSEGV <gdb's pid>
-or alternatively use killall -SIGSEGV gdb if you have the killall command.
-Now look at the core dump.
-./gdb core
-Displays the following

-LDD
-===
-This is a program which lists the shared libraries which a library needs,
-Note you also get the relocations of the shared library text segments which
-help when using objdump --source.
-e.g.
- ldd ./gdb
-outputs
-libncurses.so.4 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.4 (0x40018000)
-libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4005e000)
-libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40084000)
-/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
-
-
-Debugging shared libraries
-==========================
-Most programs use shared libraries, however it can be very painful
-when you single step instruction into a function like printf for the
-first time & you end up in functions like _dl_runtime_resolve this is
-the ld.so doing lazy binding, lazy binding is a concept in ELF where
-shared library functions are not loaded into memory unless they are
-actually used, great for saving memory but a pain to debug.
-To get around this either relink the program -static or exit gdb type
-export LD_BIND_NOW=true this will stop lazy binding & restart the gdb'ing
-the program in question.
-
-
-
-Debugging modules
-=================
-As modules are dynamically loaded into the kernel their address can be
-anywhere to get around this use the -m option with insmod to emit a load
-map which can be piped into a file if required.
-
-The proc file system
-====================
-What is it ?.
-It is a filesystem created by the kernel with files which are created on demand
-by the kernel if read, or can be used to modify kernel parameters,
-it is a powerful concept.
-
-e.g.
-
-cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
-On my machine outputs
-0
-telling me ip_forwarding is not on to switch it on I can do
-echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
-cat it again
-cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
-On my machine now outputs
-1
-IP forwarding is on.
-There is a lot of useful info in here best found by going in and having a look
-around, so I'll take you through some entries I consider important.
-
-All the processes running on the machine have their own entry defined by
-/proc/<pid>
-So lets have a look at the init process
-cd /proc/1
-
-cat cmdline
-emits
-init [2]
-
-cd /proc/1/fd
-This contains numerical entries of all the open files,
-some of these you can cat e.g. stdout (2)
-
-cat /proc/29/maps
-on my machine emits
-

-
-Showing us the shared libraries init uses where they are in memory
-& memory access permissions for each virtual memory area.
-
-/proc/1/cwd is a softlink to the current working directory.
-/proc/1/root is the root of the filesystem for this process.
-
-/proc/1/mem is the current running processes memory which you
-can read & write to like a file.
-strace uses this sometimes as it is a bit faster than the
-rather inefficient ptrace interface for peeking at DATA.

-Some driver debugging techniques
-================================
-debug feature
--------------
-Some of our drivers now support a "debug feature" in
-/proc/s390dbf see s390dbf.txt in the linux/Documentation directory
-for more info.
-e.g.
-to switch on the lcs "debug feature"
-echo 5 > /proc/s390dbf/lcs/level
-& then after the error occurred.
-cat /proc/s390dbf/lcs/sprintf >/logfile
-the logfile now contains some information which may help
-tech support resolve a problem in the field.
-
-
-
-high level debugging network drivers
-------------------------------------
-ifconfig is a quite useful command
-it gives the current state of network drivers.
-
-If you suspect your network device driver is dead
-one way to check is type
-ifconfig <network device>
-e.g. tr0
-You should see something like
-tr0 Link encap:16/4 Mbps Token Ring (New) HWaddr 00:04:AC:20:8E:48
- inet addr:9.164.185.132 Bcast:9.164.191.255 Mask:255.255.224.0
- UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:2000 Metric:1
- RX packets:246134 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
- TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
- collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
-
-if the device doesn't say up
-try
-/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
-( this starts the network stack & hopefully calls ifconfig tr0 up ).
-ifconfig looks at the output of /proc/net/dev and presents it in a more
-presentable form.
-Now ping the device from a machine in the same subnet.
-if the RX packets count & TX packets counts don't increment you probably
-have problems.
-next
-cat /proc/net/arp
-Do you see any hardware addresses in the cache if not you may have problems.
-Next try
-ping -c 5 <broadcast_addr> i.e. the Bcast field above in the output of
-ifconfig. Do you see any replies from machines other than the local machine
-if not you may have problems. also if the TX packets count in ifconfig
-hasn't incremented either you have serious problems in your driver
-(e.g. the txbusy field of the network device being stuck on )
-or you may have multiple network devices connected.
-
-
-chandev
--------
-There is a new device layer for channel devices, some
-drivers e.g. lcs are registered with this layer.
-If the device uses the channel device layer you'll be
-able to find what interrupts it uses & the current state
-of the device.
-See the manpage chandev.8 &type cat /proc/chandev for more info.
-
-
-SysRq
-=====
-This is now supported by linux for s/390 & z/Architecture.
-To enable it do compile the kernel with
-Kernel Hacking -> Magic SysRq Key Enabled
-echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
-also type
-echo "8" >/proc/sys/kernel/printk
-To make printk output go to console.
-On 390 all commands are prefixed with
-^-
-e.g.
-^-t will show tasks.
-^-? or some unknown command will display help.
-The sysrq key reading is very picky ( I have to type the keys in an
- xterm session & paste them into the x3270 console )
-& it may be wise to predefine the keys as described in the VM hints above
-
-This is particularly useful for syncing disks unmounting & rebooting
-if the machine gets partially hung.

+Register Set
+============
+The current architectures have the following registers.
+
+16 General propose registers, 32 bit on s/390 and 64 bit on z/Architecture,
+r0-r15 (or gpr0-gpr15), used for arithmetic and addressing.
+
+16 Control registers, 32 bit on s/390 and 64 bit on z/Architecture, cr0-cr15,
+kernel usage only, used for memory management, interrupt control, debugging
+control etc.
+
+16 Access registers (ar0-ar15), 32 bit on both s/390 and z/Architecture,
+normally not used by normal programs but potentially could be used as
+temporary storage. These registers have a 1:1 association with general
+purpose registers and are designed to be used in the so-called access
+register mode to select different address spaces.
+Access register 0 (and access register 1 on z/Architecture, which needs a
+64 bit pointer) is currently used by the pthread library as a pointer to
+the current running threads private area.
+
+16 64-bit floating point registers (fp0-fp15 ) IEEE & HFP floating
+point format compliant on G5 upwards & a Floating point control reg (FPC)
+
+4 64-bit registers (fp0,fp2,fp4 & fp6) HFP only on older machines.
+
+Note:
+ Linux (currently) always uses IEEE & emulates G5 IEEE format on older
+ machines, ( provided the kernel is configured for this ).
+
+
+The PSW is the most important register on the machine it
+is 64 bit on s/390 & 128 bit on z/Architecture & serves the roles of
+a program counter (pc), condition code register,memory space designator.
+In IBM standard notation I am counting bit 0 as the MSB.
+It has several advantages over a normal program counter
+in that you can change address translation & program counter
+in a single instruction. To change address translation,
+e.g. switching address translation off requires that you
+have a logical=physical mapping for the address you are
+currently running at.

+Prefix Page(s)
+--------------
+This per cpu memory area is too intimately tied to the processor not to mention.
+It exists between the real addresses 0-4096 on s/390 and between 0-8192 on
+z/Architecture and is exchanged with one page on s/390 or two pages on
+z/Architecture in absolute storage by the set prefix instruction during Linux
+startup.
+
+This page is mapped to a different prefix for each processor in an SMP
+configuration (assuming the OS designer is sane of course).
+
+Bytes 0-512 (200 hex) on s/390 and 0-512, 4096-4544, 4604-5119 currently on
+z/Architecture are used by the processor itself for holding such information
+as exception indications and entry points for exceptions.
+
+Bytes after 0xc00 hex are used by linux for per processor globals on s/390 and
+z/Architecture (there is a gap on z/Architecture currently between 0xc00 and
+0x1000, too, which is used by Linux).
+
+The closest thing to this on traditional architectures is the interrupt
+vector table. This is a good thing & does simplify some of the kernel coding
+however it means that we now cannot catch stray NULL pointers in the
+kernel without hard coded checks.
+
+
+
+Address Spaces on Intel Linux
+=============================
+
+The traditional Intel Linux is approximately mapped as follows forgive
+the ascii art::
+
+ 0xFFFFFFFF 4GB Himem *****************
+ * *
+ * Kernel Space *
+ * *
+ ***************** ****************
+ User Space Himem * User Stack * * *
+ (typically 0xC0000000 3GB ) ***************** * *
+ * Shared Libs * * Next Process *
+ ***************** * to *
+ * * <== * Run * <==
+ * User Program * * *
+ * Data BSS * * *
+ * Text * * *
+ * Sections * * *
+ 0x00000000 ***************** ****************
+
+Now it is easy to see that on Intel it is quite easy to recognise a kernel
+address as being one greater than user space himem (in this case 0xC0000000),
+and addresses of less than this are the ones in the current running program on
+this processor (if an smp box).
+
+If using the virtual machine ( VM ) as a debugger it is quite difficult to
+know which user process is running as the address space you are looking at
+could be from any process in the run queue.
+
+The limitation of Intels addressing technique is that the linux
+kernel uses a very simple real address to virtual addressing technique
+of Real Address=Virtual Address-User Space Himem.
+This means that on Intel the kernel linux can typically only address
+Himem=0xFFFFFFFF-0xC0000000=1GB & this is all the RAM these machines
+can typically use.
+
+They can lower User Himem to 2GB or lower & thus be
+able to use 2GB of RAM however this shrinks the maximum size
+of User Space from 3GB to 2GB they have a no win limit of 4GB unless
+they go to 64 Bit.
+
+
+On 390 our limitations & strengths make us slightly different.
+For backward compatibility we are only allowed use 31 bits (2GB)
+of our 32 bit addresses, however, we use entirely separate address
+spaces for the user & kernel.
+
+This means we can support 2GB of non Extended RAM on s/390, & more
+with the Extended memory management swap device &
+currently 4TB of physical memory currently on z/Architecture.
+
+
+Address Spaces on Linux for s/390 & z/Architecture
+==================================================
+
+Our addressing scheme is basically as follows::
+
+ Primary Space Home Space
+ Himem 0x7fffffff 2GB on s/390 ***************** ****************
+ currently 0x3ffffffffff (2^42)-1 * User Stack * * *
+ on z/Architecture. ***************** * *
+ * Shared Libs * * *
+ ***************** * *
+ * * * Kernel *
+ * User Program * * *
+ * Data BSS * * *
+ * Text * * *
+ * Sections * * *
+ 0x00000000 ***************** ****************
+
+This also means that we need to look at the PSW problem state bit and the
+addressing mode to decide whether we are looking at user or kernel space.
+
+User space runs in primary address mode (or access register mode within
+the vdso code).
+
+The kernel usually also runs in home space mode, however when accessing
+user space the kernel switches to primary or secondary address mode if
+the mvcos instruction is not available or if a compare-and-swap (futex)
+instruction on a user space address is performed.
+
+When also looking at the ASCE control registers, this means:
+
+User space:
+
+- runs in primary or access register mode
+- cr1 contains the user asce
+- cr7 contains the user asce
+- cr13 contains the kernel asce
+
+Kernel space:
+
+- runs in home space mode
+- cr1 contains the user or kernel asce
+
+ - the kernel asce is loaded when a uaccess requires primary or
+ secondary address mode
+
+- cr7 contains the user or kernel asce, (changed with set_fs())
+- cr13 contains the kernel asce
+
+In case of uaccess the kernel changes to:
+
+- primary space mode in case of a uaccess (copy_to_user) and uses
+ e.g. the mvcp instruction to access user space. However the kernel
+ will stay in home space mode if the mvcos instruction is available
+- secondary space mode in case of futex atomic operations, so that the
+ instructions come from primary address space and data from secondary
+ space
+
+In case of KVM, the kernel runs in home space mode, but cr1 gets switched
+to contain the gmap asce before the SIE instruction gets executed. When
+the SIE instruction is finished, cr1 will be switched back to contain the
+user asce.
+
+
+Virtual Addresses on s/390 & z/Architecture
+===========================================
+
+A virtual address on s/390 is made up of 3 parts
+The SX (segment index, roughly corresponding to the PGD & PMD in Linux
+terminology) being bits 1-11.
+
+The PX (page index, corresponding to the page table entry (pte) in Linux
+terminology) being bits 12-19.
+
+The remaining bits BX (the byte index are the offset in the page )
+i.e. bits 20 to 31.
+
+On z/Architecture in linux we currently make up an address from 4 parts.
+
+- The region index bits (RX) 0-32 we currently use bits 22-32
+- The segment index (SX) being bits 33-43
+- The page index (PX) being bits 44-51
+- The byte index (BX) being bits 52-63
+
+Notes:
+ 1) s/390 has no PMD so the PMD is really the PGD also.
+ A lot of this stuff is defined in pgtable.h.
+
+ 2) Also seeing as s/390's page indexes are only 1k in size
+ (bits 12-19 x 4 bytes per pte ) we use 1 ( page 4k )
+ to make the best use of memory by updating 4 segment indices
+ entries each time we mess with a PMD & use offsets
+ 0,1024,2048 & 3072 in this page as for our segment indexes.
+ On z/Architecture our page indexes are now 2k in size
+ ( bits 12-19 x 8 bytes per pte ) we do a similar trick
+ but only mess with 2 segment indices each time we mess with
+ a PMD.
+
+ 3) As z/Architecture supports up to a massive 5-level page table lookup we
+ can only use 3 currently on Linux ( as this is all the generic kernel
+ currently supports ) however this may change in future
+ this allows us to access ( according to my sums )
+ 4TB of virtual storage per process i.e.
+ 4096*512(PTES)*1024(PMDS)*2048(PGD) = 4398046511104 bytes,
+ enough for another 2 or 3 of years I think :-).
+ to do this we use a region-third-table designation type in
+ our address space control registers.

+==========================================================
+Each process/thread under Linux for S390 has its own kernel task_struct
+defined in linux/include/linux/sched.h
+The S390 on initialisation & resuming of a process on a cpu sets
+the __LC_KERNEL_STACK variable in the spare prefix area for this cpu
+(which we use for per-processor globals).
+
+The kernel stack pointer is intimately tied with the task structure for
+each processor as follows::
+
+ s/390
+ ************************
+ * 1 page kernel stack *
+ * ( 4K ) *
+ ************************
+ * 1 page task_struct *
+ * ( 4K ) *
+ 8K aligned ************************
+
+ z/Architecture
+ ************************
+ * 2 page kernel stack *
+ * ( 8K ) *
+ ************************
+ * 2 page task_struct *
+ * ( 8K ) *
+ 16K aligned ************************
+
+What this means is that we don't need to dedicate any register or global
+variable to point to the current running process & can retrieve it with the
+following very simple construct for s/390 & one very similar for
+z/Architecture::
+
+ static inline struct task_struct * get_current(void)
+ {
+ struct task_struct *current;
+ __asm__("lhi %0,-8192\n\t"
+ "nr %0,15"
+ : "=r" (current) );
+ return current;
+ }
+
+i.e. just anding the current kernel stack pointer with the mask -8192.
+Thankfully because Linux doesn't have support for nested IO interrupts
+& our devices have large buffers can survive interrupts being shut for
+short amounts of time we don't need a separate stack for interrupts.
+
+
+
+
+Register Usage & Stackframes on Linux for s/390 & z/Architecture
+=================================================================
+Overview:
+---------
+This is the code that gcc produces at the top & the bottom of
+each function. It usually is fairly consistent & similar from
+function to function & if you know its layout you can probably
+make some headway in finding the ultimate cause of a problem
+after a crash without a source level debugger.
+
+Note: To follow stackframes requires a knowledge of C or Pascal &
+limited knowledge of one assembly language.
+
+It should be noted that there are some differences between the
+s/390 and z/Architecture stack layouts as the z/Architecture stack layout
+didn't have to maintain compatibility with older linkage formats.
+
+Glossary:
+---------
+alloca:
+ This is a built in compiler function for runtime allocation
+ of extra space on the callers stack which is obviously freed
+ up on function exit ( e.g. the caller may choose to allocate nothing
+ of a buffer of 4k if required for temporary purposes ), it generates
+ very efficient code ( a few cycles ) when compared to alternatives
+ like malloc.
+
+automatics:
+ These are local variables on the stack, i.e they aren't in registers &
+ they aren't static.
+
+back-chain:
+ This is a pointer to the stack pointer before entering a
+ framed functions ( see frameless function ) prologue got by
+ dereferencing the address of the current stack pointer,
+ i.e. got by accessing the 32 bit value at the stack pointers
+ current location.
+
+base-pointer:
+ This is a pointer to the back of the literal pool which
+ is an area just behind each procedure used to store constants
+ in each function.
+
+call-clobbered:
+ The caller probably needs to save these registers if there
+ is something of value in them, on the stack or elsewhere before making a
+ call to another procedure so that it can restore it later.
+
+epilogue:
+ The code generated by the compiler to return to the caller.
+
+frameless-function:
+ A frameless function in Linux for s390 & z/Architecture is one which doesn't
+ need more than the register save area (96 bytes on s/390, 160 on z/Architecture)
+ given to it by the caller.
+
+ A frameless function never:
+
+ 1) Sets up a back chain.
+ 2) Calls alloca.
+ 3) Calls other normal functions
+ 4) Has automatics.
+
+GOT-pointer:
+ This is a pointer to the global-offset-table in ELF
+ ( Executable Linkable Format, Linux'es most common executable format ),
+ all globals & shared library objects are found using this pointer.
+
+lazy-binding
+ ELF shared libraries are typically only loaded when routines in the shared
+ library are actually first called at runtime. This is lazy binding.
+
+procedure-linkage-table
+ This is a table found from the GOT which contains pointers to routines
+ in other shared libraries which can't be called to by easier means.
+
+prologue:
+ The code generated by the compiler to set up the stack frame.
+
+outgoing-args:
+ This is extra area allocated on the stack of the calling function if the
+ parameters for the callee's cannot all be put in registers, the same
+ area can be reused by each function the caller calls.
+
+routine-descriptor:
+ A COFF executable format based concept of a procedure reference
+ actually being 8 bytes or more as opposed to a simple pointer to the routine.
+ This is typically defined as follows:
+
+ - Routine Descriptor offset 0=Pointer to Function
+ - Routine Descriptor offset 4=Pointer to Table of Contents
+
+ The table of contents/TOC is roughly equivalent to a GOT pointer.
+ & it means that shared libraries etc. can be shared between several
+ environments each with their own TOC.
+
+static-chain:
+ This is used in nested functions a concept adopted from pascal
+ by gcc not used in ansi C or C++ ( although quite useful ), basically it
+ is a pointer used to reference local variables of enclosing functions.
+ You might come across this stuff once or twice in your lifetime.
+
+ e.g.
+
+ The function below should return 11 though gcc may get upset & toss warnings
+ about unused variables::
+
+ int FunctionA(int a)
+ {
+ int b;
+ FunctionC(int c)
+ {
+ b=c+1;
+ }
+ FunctionC(10);
+ return(b);
+ }
+

+f4 z/Architecture argument 2 saved
+f6 z/Architecture argument 3 saved
+======== ========================================== ===============
+
+The remaining floating points
+f1,f3,f5 f7-f15 are call-clobbered.
+
+Notes:
+------
+1) The only requirement is that registers which are used
+ by the callee are saved, e.g. the compiler is perfectly
+ capable of using r11 for purposes other than a frame a
+ frame pointer if a frame pointer is not needed.
+2) In functions with variable arguments e.g. printf the calling procedure
+ is identical to one without variable arguments & the same number of
+ parameters. However, the prologue of this function is somewhat more
+ hairy owing to it having to move these parameters to the stack to
+ get va_start, va_arg & va_end to work.
+3) Access registers are currently unused by gcc but are used in
+ the kernel. Possibilities exist to use them at the moment for
+ temporary storage but it isn't recommended.
+4) Only 4 of the floating point registers are used for
+ parameter passing as older machines such as G3 only have only 4
+ & it keeps the stack frame compatible with other compilers.
+ However with IEEE floating point emulation under linux on the
+ older machines you are free to use the other 12.
+5) A long long or double parameter cannot be have the
+ first 4 bytes in a register & the second four bytes in the
+ outgoing args area. It must be purely in the outgoing args
+ area if crossing this boundary.
+6) Floating point parameters are mixed with outgoing args
+ on the outgoing args area in the order the are passed in as parameters.
+7) Floating point arguments 2 & 3 are saved in the outgoing args area for
+ z/Architecture

+
+Comments on the function test
+-----------------------------
+1) It didn't need to set up a pointer to the constant pool gpr13 as it is not
+ used ( :-( ).
+2) This is a frameless function & no stack is bought.
+3) The compiler was clever enough to recognise that it could return the
+ value in r2 as well as use it for the passed in parameter ( :-) ).
+4) The basr ( branch relative & save ) trick works as follows the instruction
+ has a special case with r0,r0 with some instruction operands is understood as
+ the literal value 0, some risc architectures also do this ). So now
+ we are branching to the next address & the address new program counter is
+ in r13,so now we subtract the size of the function prologue we have executed
+ the size of the literal pool to get to the top of the literal pool::
+
+

+64 bit z/Architecture code disassembly
+--------------------------------------
+
+If you understand the stuff above you'll understand the stuff
+below too so I'll avoid repeating myself & just say that
+some of the instructions have g's on the end of them to indicate
+they are 64 bit & the stack offsets are a bigger,
+the only other difference you'll find between 32 & 64 bit is that
+we now use f4 & f6 for floating point arguments on 64 bit::

+
+Compiling programs for debugging on Linux for s/390 & z/Architecture
+====================================================================
+-gdwarf-2 now works it should be considered the default debugging
+format for s/390 & z/Architecture as it is more reliable for debugging
+shared libraries, normal -g debugging works much better now
+Thanks to the IBM java compiler developers bug reports.
+
+This is typically done adding/appending the flags -g or -gdwarf-2 to the
+CFLAGS & LDFLAGS variables Makefile of the program concerned.
+
+If using gdb & you would like accurate displays of registers &
+stack traces compile without optimisation i.e make sure
+that there is no -O2 or similar on the CFLAGS line of the Makefile &
+the emitted gcc commands, obviously this will produce worse code
+( not advisable for shipment ) but it is an aid to the debugging process.
+
+This aids debugging because the compiler will copy parameters passed in
+in registers onto the stack so backtracing & looking at passed in
+parameters will work, however some larger programs which use inline functions
+will not compile without optimisation.
+
+Debugging with optimisation has since much improved after fixing
+some bugs, please make sure you are using gdb-5.0 or later developed
+after Nov'2000.
+
+
+
+Debugging under VM
+==================
+
+Notes
+-----
+Addresses & values in the VM debugger are always hex never decimal
+Address ranges are of the format <HexValue1>-<HexValue2> or
+<HexValue1>.<HexValue2>
+For example, the address range 0x2000 to 0x3000 can be described as 2000-3000
+or 2000.1000
+
+The VM Debugger is case insensitive.
+
+VM's strengths are usually other debuggers weaknesses you can get at any
+resource no matter how sensitive e.g. memory management resources, change
+address translation in the PSW. For kernel hacking you will reap dividends if
+you get good at it.
+
+The VM Debugger displays operators but not operands, and also the debugger
+displays useful information on the same line as the author of the code probably
+felt that it was a good idea not to go over the 80 columns on the screen.
+This isn't as unintuitive as it may seem as the s/390 instructions are easy to
+decode mentally and you can make a good guess at a lot of them as all the
+operands are nibble (half byte aligned).
+So if you have an objdump listing by hand, it is quite easy to follow, and if
+you don't have an objdump listing keep a copy of the s/390 Reference Summary
+or alternatively the s/390 principles of operation next to you.
+e.g. even I can guess that
+0001AFF8' LR 180F CC 0
+is a ( load register ) lr r0,r15
+
+Also it is very easy to tell the length of a 390 instruction from the 2 most
+significant bits in the instruction (not that this info is really useful except
+if you are trying to make sense of a hexdump of code).
+Here is a table
+
+======================= ==================
+Bits Instruction Length
+======================= ==================
+00 2 Bytes
+01 4 Bytes
+10 4 Bytes
+11 6 Bytes
+======================= ==================
+
+The debugger also displays other useful info on the same line such as the
+addresses being operated on destination addresses of branches & condition codes.
+e.g.::
+
+ 00019736' AHI A7DAFF0E CC 1
+ 000198BA' BRC A7840004 -> 000198C2' CC 0
+ 000198CE' STM 900EF068 >> 0FA95E78 CC 2
+
+
+
+Useful VM debugger commands
+---------------------------
+
+I suppose I'd better mention this before I start
+to list the current active traces do::
+
+ Q TR
+
+there can be a maximum of 255 of these per set
+( more about trace sets later ).
+
+To stop traces issue a::
+
+ TR END.
+
+To delete a particular breakpoint issue::
+
+ TR DEL <breakpoint number>
+
+The PA1 key drops to CP mode so you can issue debugger commands,
+Doing alt c (on my 3270 console at least ) clears the screen.
+
+hitting b <enter> comes back to the running operating system
+from cp mode ( in our case linux ).
+
+It is typically useful to add shortcuts to your profile.exec file
+if you have one ( this is roughly equivalent to autoexec.bat in DOS ).
+file here are a few from mine::
+
+ /* this gives me command history on issuing f12 */
+ set pf12 retrieve
+ /* this continues */
+ set pf8 imm b
+ /* goes to trace set a */
+ set pf1 imm tr goto a
+ /* goes to trace set b */
+ set pf2 imm tr goto b
+ /* goes to trace set c */
+ set pf3 imm tr goto c
+
+
+
+Instruction Tracing
+-------------------
+Setting a simple breakpoint::
+
+ TR I PSWA <address>
+
+To debug a particular function try::
+
+ TR I R <function address range>
+ TR I on its own will single step.
+ TR I DATA <MNEMONIC> <OPTIONAL RANGE> will trace for particular mnemonics
+
+e.g.::
+
+ TR I DATA 4D R 0197BC.4000
+
+will trace for BAS'es ( opcode 4D ) in the range 0197BC.4000
+
+if you were inclined you could add traces for all branch instructions &
+suffix them with the run prefix so you would have a backtrace on screen
+when a program crashes::
+
+ TR BR <INTO OR FROM> will trace branches into or out of an address.
+
+e.g.::
+
+ TR BR INTO 0
+
+is often quite useful if a program is getting awkward & deciding
+to branch to 0 & crashing as this will stop at the address before in jumps to 0.
+
+::
+
+ TR I R <address range> RUN cmd d g
+
+single steps a range of addresses but stays running &
+displays the gprs on each step.
+
+
+
+Displaying & modifying Registers
+--------------------------------
+D G
+ will display all the gprs
+
+Adding a extra G to all the commands is necessary to access the full 64 bit
+content in VM on z/Architecture. Obviously this isn't required for access
+registers as these are still 32 bit.
+
+e.g.
+
+DGG
+ instead of DG
+
+D X
+ will display all the control registers
+D AR
+ will display all the access registers
+D AR4-7
+ will display access registers 4 to 7
+CPU ALL D G
+ will display the GRPS of all CPUS in the configuration
+D PSW
+ will display the current PSW
+st PSW 2000
+ will put the value 2000 into the PSW & cause crash your machine.
+D PREFIX
+ displays the prefix offset
+
+
+Displaying Memory
+-----------------
+To display memory mapped using the current PSW's mapping try::
+
+ D <range>
+
+To make VM display a message each time it hits a particular address and
+continue try:
+
+D I<range>
+ will disassemble/display a range of instructions.
+
+ST addr 32 bit word
+ will store a 32 bit aligned address
+D T<range>
+ will display the EBCDIC in an address (if you are that way inclined)
+D R<range>
+ will display real addresses ( without DAT ) but with prefixing.
+
+There are other complex options to display if you need to get at say home space
+but are in primary space the easiest thing to do is to temporarily
+modify the PSW to the other addressing mode, display the stuff & then
+restore it.
+
+
+
+Hints
+-----
+If you want to issue a debugger command without halting your virtual machine
+with the PA1 key try prefixing the command with #CP e.g.::
+
+ #cp tr i pswa 2000
+
+also suffixing most debugger commands with RUN will cause them not
+to stop just display the mnemonic at the current instruction on the console.
+
+If you have several breakpoints you want to put into your program &
+you get fed up of cross referencing with System.map
+you can do the following trick for several symbols.
+
+::
+
+ grep do_signal System.map
+
+which emits the following among other things::
+
+ 0001f4e0 T do_signal
+
+now you can do::
+
+ TR I PSWA 0001f4e0 cmd msg * do_signal
+
+This sends a message to your own console each time do_signal is entered.
+( As an aside I wrote a perl script once which automatically generated a REXX
+script with breakpoints on every kernel procedure, this isn't a good idea
+because there are thousands of these routines & VM can only set 255 breakpoints
+at a time so you nearly had to spend as long pruning the file down as you would
+entering the msgs by hand), however, the trick might be useful for a single
+object file. In the 3270 terminal emulator x3270 there is a very useful option
+in the file menu called "Save Screen In File" - this is very good for keeping a
+copy of traces.
+
+From CMS help <command name> will give you online help on a particular command.
+e.g.::
+
+ HELP DISPLAY
+
+Also CP has a file called profile.exec which automatically gets called
+on startup of CMS ( like autoexec.bat ), keeping on a DOS analogy session
+CP has a feature similar to doskey, it may be useful for you to
+use profile.exec to define some keystrokes.
+
+SET PF9 IMM B
+ This does a single step in VM on pressing F8.
+
+SET PF10 ^
+ This sets up the ^ key.
+ which can be used for ^c (ctrl-c),^z (ctrl-z) which can't be typed
+ directly into some 3270 consoles.
+
+SET PF11 ^-
+ This types the starting keystrokes for a sysrq see SysRq below.
+SET PF12 RETRIEVE
+ This retrieves command history on pressing F12.
+
+
+Sometimes in VM the display is set up to scroll automatically this
+can be very annoying if there are messages you wish to look at
+to stop this do
+
+TERM MORE 255 255
+ This will nearly stop automatic screen updates, however it will
+ cause a denial of service if lots of messages go to the 3270 console,
+ so it would be foolish to use this as the default on a production machine.
+
+
+Tracing particular processes
+----------------------------
+The kernel's text segment is intentionally at an address in memory that it will
+very seldom collide with text segments of user programs ( thanks Martin ),
+this simplifies debugging the kernel.
+However it is quite common for user processes to have addresses which collide
+this can make debugging a particular process under VM painful under normal
+circumstances as the process may change when doing a::
+
+ TR I R <address range>.
+
+Thankfully after reading VM's online help I figured out how to debug
+I particular process.
+
+Your first problem is to find the STD ( segment table designation )
+of the program you wish to debug.
+There are several ways you can do this here are a few
+
+Run::
+
+ objdump --syms <program to be debugged> | grep main
+
+To get the address of main in the program. Then::
+
+ tr i pswa <address of main>
+
+Start the program, if VM drops to CP on what looks like the entry
+point of the main function this is most likely the process you wish to debug.
+Now do a D X13 or D XG13 on z/Architecture.
+
+On 31 bit the STD is bits 1-19 ( the STO segment table origin )
+& 25-31 ( the STL segment table length ) of CR13.
+
+now type::
+
+ TR I R STD <CR13's value> 0.7fffffff
+
+e.g.::
+
+ TR I R STD 8F32E1FF 0.7fffffff
+
+Another very useful variation is::
+
+ TR STORE INTO STD <CR13's value> <address range>
+
+for finding out when a particular variable changes.
+
+An alternative way of finding the STD of a currently running process
+is to do the following, ( this method is more complex but
+could be quite convenient if you aren't updating the kernel much &
+so your kernel structures will stay constant for a reasonable period of
+time ).
+
+::
+
+ grep task /proc/<pid>/status
+
+from this you should see something like::
+
+ task: 0f160000 ksp: 0f161de8 pt_regs: 0f161f68
+
+This now gives you a pointer to the task structure.
+
+Now make::
+
+ CC:="s390-gcc -g" kernel/sched.s
+
+To get the task_struct stabinfo.
+
+( task_struct is defined in include/linux/sched.h ).
+
+Now we want to look at
+task->active_mm->pgd
+
+on my machine the active_mm in the task structure stab is
+active_mm:(4,12),672,32
+
+its offset is 672/8=84=0x54
+
+the pgd member in the mm_struct stab is
+pgd:(4,6)=*(29,5),96,32
+so its offset is 96/8=12=0xc
+
+so we'll::
+
+ hexdump -s 0xf160054 /dev/mem | more
+
+i.e. task_struct+active_mm offset
+to look at the active_mm member::
+
+ f160054 0fee cc60 0019 e334 0000 0000 0000 0011
+
+::
+
+ hexdump -s 0x0feecc6c /dev/mem | more
+
+i.e. active_mm+pgd offset::
+
+ feecc6c 0f2c 0000 0000 0001 0000 0001 0000 0010
+
+we get something like
+now do::
+
+ TR I R STD <pgd|0x7f> 0.7fffffff
+
+i.e. the 0x7f is added because the pgd only
+gives the page table origin & we need to set the low bits
+to the maximum possible segment table length.
+
+::
+
+ TR I R STD 0f2c007f 0.7fffffff
+
+on z/Architecture you'll probably need to do::
+
+ TR I R STD <pgd|0x7> 0.ffffffffffffffff
+
+to set the TableType to 0x1 & the Table length to 3.
+
+
+
+Tracing Program Exceptions
+--------------------------
+If you get a crash which says something like
+illegal operation or specification exception followed by a register dump
+You can restart linux & trace these using the tr prog <range or value> trace
+option.
+
+
+The most common ones you will normally be tracing for is:
+
+- 1=operation exception
+- 2=privileged operation exception
+- 4=protection exception
+- 5=addressing exception
+- 6=specification exception
+- 10=segment translation exception
+- 11=page translation exception
+
+The full list of these is on page 22 of the current s/390 Reference Summary.
+e.g.
+
+tr prog 10 will trace segment translation exceptions.
+
+tr prog on its own will trace all program interruption codes.
+
+Trace Sets
+----------
+On starting VM you are initially in the INITIAL trace set.
+You can do a Q TR to verify this.
+If you have a complex tracing situation where you wish to wait for instance
+till a driver is open before you start tracing IO, but know in your
+heart that you are going to have to make several runs through the code till you
+have a clue whats going on.
+
+What you can do is::
+
+ TR I PSWA <Driver open address>
+
+hit b to continue till breakpoint
+
+reach the breakpoint
+
+now do your::
+
+ TR GOTO B
+ TR IO 7c08-7c09 inst int run
+
+or whatever the IO channels you wish to trace are & hit b
+
+To got back to the initial trace set do::
+
+ TR GOTO INITIAL
+
+& the TR I PSWA <Driver open address> will be the only active breakpoint again.
+
+
+Tracing linux syscalls under VM
+-------------------------------
+Syscalls are implemented on Linux for S390 by the Supervisor call instruction
+(SVC). There 256 possibilities of these as the instruction is made up of a 0xA
+opcode and the second byte being the syscall number. They are traced using the
+simple command::
+
+ TR SVC <Optional value or range>
+
+the syscalls are defined in linux/arch/s390/include/asm/unistd.h
+e.g. to trace all file opens just do::
+
+ TR SVC 5 ( as this is the syscall number of open )
+
+
+SMP Specific commands
+---------------------
+To find out how many cpus you have
+Q CPUS displays all the CPU's available to your virtual machine
+To find the cpu that the current cpu VM debugger commands are being directed at
+do Q CPU to change the current cpu VM debugger commands are being directed at
+do::
+
+ CPU <desired cpu no>
+
+On a SMP guest issue a command to all CPUs try prefixing the command with cpu
+all. To issue a command to a particular cpu try cpu <cpu number> e.g.::
+
+ CPU 01 TR I R 2000.3000
+
+If you are running on a guest with several cpus & you have a IO related problem
+& cannot follow the flow of code but you know it isn't smp related.
+
+from the bash prompt issue::
+
+ shutdown -h now or halt.
+
+do a::
+
+ Q CPUS
+
+to find out how many cpus you have detach each one of them from cp except
+cpu 0 by issuing a::
+
+ DETACH CPU 01-(number of cpus in configuration)
+
+& boot linux again.
+
+TR SIGP
+ will trace inter processor signal processor instructions.
+
+DEFINE CPU 01-(number in configuration)
+ will get your guests cpus back.
+
+
+Help for displaying ascii textstrings
+-------------------------------------
+On the very latest VM Nucleus'es VM can now display ascii
+( thanks Neale for the hint ) by doing::
+
+ D TX<lowaddr>.<len>
+
+e.g.::
+
+ D TX0.100
+
+Alternatively
+=============
+Under older VM debuggers (I love EBDIC too) you can use following little
+program which converts a command line of hex digits to ascii text. It can be
+compiled under linux and you can copy the hex digits from your x3270 terminal
+to your xterm if you are debugging from a linuxbox.
+
+This is quite useful when looking at a parameter passed in as a text string
+under VM ( unless you are good at decoding ASCII in your head ).
+
+e.g. consider tracing an open syscall::
+
+ TR SVC 5
+
+We have stopped at a breakpoint::
+
+ 000151B0' SVC 0A05 -> 0001909A' CC 0
+
+D 20.8 to check the SVC old psw in the prefix area and see was it from userspace
+(for the layout of the prefix area consult the "Fixed Storage Locations"
+chapter of the s/390 Reference Summary if you have it available).
+
+::
+
+ V00000020 070C2000 800151B2
+
+The problem state bit wasn't set & it's also too early in the boot sequence
+for it to be a userspace SVC if it was we would have to temporarily switch the
+psw to user space addressing so we could get at the first parameter of the open
+in gpr2.
+
+Next do a::
+
+ D G2
+ GPR 2 = 00014CB4
+
+Now display what gpr2 is pointing to::
+
+ D 00014CB4.20
+ V00014CB4 2F646576 2F636F6E 736F6C65 00001BF5
+ V00014CC4 FC00014C B4001001 E0001000 B8070707
+
+Now copy the text till the first 00 hex ( which is the end of the string
+to an xterm & do hex2ascii on it::
+
+ hex2ascii 2F646576 2F636F6E 736F6C65 00
+
+outputs::
+
+ Decoded Hex:=/ d e v / c o n s o l e 0x00
+
+We were opening the console device,
+
+You can compile the code below yourself for practice :-),
+
+::

+
+Stack tracing under VM
+----------------------
+A basic backtrace
+-----------------
+
+Here are the tricks I use 9 out of 10 times it works pretty well,
+
+When your backchain reaches a dead end
+--------------------------------------
+This can happen when an exception happens in the kernel and the kernel is
+entered twice. If you reach the NULL pointer at the end of the back chain you
+should be able to sniff further back if you follow the following tricks.
+1) A kernel address should be easy to recognise since it is in
+primary space & the problem state bit isn't set & also
+The Hi bit of the address is set.
+2) Another backchain should also be easy to recognise since it is an
+address pointing to another address approximately 100 bytes or 0x70 hex
+behind the current stackpointer.
+
+
+Here is some practice.
+
+boot the kernel & hit PA1 at some random time
+
+d g to display the gprs, this should display something like::
+
+ GPR 0 = 00000001 00156018 0014359C 00000000
+ GPR 4 = 00000001 001B8888 000003E0 00000000
+ GPR 8 = 00100080 00100084 00000000 000FE000
+ GPR 12 = 00010400 8001B2DC 8001B36A 000FFED8
+
+Note that GPR14 is a return address but as we are real men we are going to
+trace the stack.
+display 0x40 bytes after the stack pointer::
+
+ V000FFED8 000FFF38 8001B838 80014C8E 000FFF38
+ V000FFEE8 00000000 00000000 000003E0 00000000
+ V000FFEF8 00100080 00100084 00000000 000FE000
+ V000FFF08 00010400 8001B2DC 8001B36A 000FFED8
+
+
+Ah now look at whats in sp+56 (sp+0x38) this is 8001B36A our saved r14 if
+you look above at our stackframe & also agrees with GPR14.
+
+now backchain::
+
+ d 000FFF38.40
+
+we now are taking the contents of SP to get our first backchain::
+
+ V000FFF38 000FFFA0 00000000 00014995 00147094
+ V000FFF48 00147090 001470A0 000003E0 00000000
+ V000FFF58 00100080 00100084 00000000 001BF1D0
+ V000FFF68 00010400 800149BA 80014CA6 000FFF38
+
+This displays a 2nd return address of 80014CA6
+
+now do::
+
+ d 000FFFA0.40
+
+for our 3rd backchain::
+
+ V000FFFA0 04B52002 0001107F 00000000 00000000
+ V000FFFB0 00000000 00000000 FF000000 0001107F
+ V000FFFC0 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
+ V000FFFD0 00010400 80010802 8001085A 000FFFA0
+
+
+our 3rd return address is 8001085A
+
+as the 04B52002 looks suspiciously like rubbish it is fair to assume that the
+kernel entry routines for the sake of optimisation don't set up a backchain.
+
+now look at System.map to see if the addresses make any sense::
+
+ grep -i 0001b3 System.map
+
+outputs among other things::
+
+ 0001b304 T cpu_idle
+
+so 8001B36A
+is cpu_idle+0x66 ( quiet the cpu is asleep, don't wake it )
+
+::
+
+ grep -i 00014 System.map
+
+produces among other things::
+
+ 00014a78 T start_kernel
+
+so 0014CA6 is start_kernel+some hex number I can't add in my head.
+
+::
+
+ grep -i 00108 System.map
+
+this produces::
+
+ 00010800 T _stext
+
+so 8001085A is _stext+0x5a
+
+Congrats you've done your first backchain.
+
+
+
+s/390 & z/Architecture IO Overview
+==================================
+
+I am not going to give a course in 390 IO architecture as this would take me
+quite a while and I'm no expert. Instead I'll give a 390 IO architecture
+summary for Dummies. If you have the s/390 principles of operation available
+read this instead. If nothing else you may find a few useful keywords in here
+and be able to use them on a web search engine to find more useful information.
+
+Unlike other bus architectures modern 390 systems do their IO using mostly
+fibre optics and devices such as tapes and disks can be shared between several
+mainframes. Also S390 can support up to 65536 devices while a high end PC based
+system might be choking with around 64.
+
+Here is some of the common IO terminology:
+
+Subchannel:
+ This is the logical number most IO commands use to talk to an IO device. There
+ can be up to 0x10000 (65536) of these in a configuration, typically there are a
+ few hundred. Under VM for simplicity they are allocated contiguously, however
+ on the native hardware they are not. They typically stay consistent between
+ boots provided no new hardware is inserted or removed.
+
+ Under Linux for s390 we use these as IRQ's and also when issuing an IO command
+ (CLEAR SUBCHANNEL, HALT SUBCHANNEL, MODIFY SUBCHANNEL, RESUME SUBCHANNEL,
+ START SUBCHANNEL, STORE SUBCHANNEL and TEST SUBCHANNEL). We use this as the ID
+ of the device we wish to talk to. The most important of these instructions are
+ START SUBCHANNEL (to start IO), TEST SUBCHANNEL (to check whether the IO
+ completed successfully) and HALT SUBCHANNEL (to kill IO). A subchannel can have
+ up to 8 channel paths to a device, this offers redundancy if one is not
+ available.
+
+Device Number:
+ This number remains static and is closely tied to the hardware. There are 65536
+ of these, made up of a CHPID (Channel Path ID, the most significant 8 bits) and
+ another lsb 8 bits. These remain static even if more devices are inserted or
+ removed from the hardware. There is a 1 to 1 mapping between subchannels and
+ device numbers, provided devices aren't inserted or removed.
+
+Channel Control Words:
+ CCWs are linked lists of instructions initially pointed to by an operation
+ request block (ORB), which is initially given to Start Subchannel (SSCH)
+ command along with the subchannel number for the IO subsystem to process
+ while the CPU continues executing normal code.
+ CCWs come in two flavours, Format 0 (24 bit for backward compatibility) and
+ Format 1 (31 bit). These are typically used to issue read and write (and many
+ other) instructions. They consist of a length field and an absolute address
+ field.
+
+ Each IO typically gets 1 or 2 interrupts, one for channel end (primary status)
+ when the channel is idle, and the second for device end (secondary status).
+ Sometimes you get both concurrently. You check how the IO went on by issuing a
+ TEST SUBCHANNEL at each interrupt, from which you receive an Interruption
+ response block (IRB). If you get channel and device end status in the IRB
+ without channel checks etc. your IO probably went okay. If you didn't you
+ probably need to examine the IRB, extended status word etc.
+ If an error occurs, more sophisticated control units have a facility known as
+ concurrent sense. This means that if an error occurs Extended sense information
+ will be presented in the Extended status word in the IRB. If not you have to
+ issue a subsequent SENSE CCW command after the test subchannel.
+
+
+TPI (Test pending interrupt) can also be used for polled IO, but in
+multitasking multiprocessor systems it isn't recommended except for
+checking special cases (i.e. non looping checks for pending IO etc.).
+
+Store Subchannel and Modify Subchannel can be used to examine and modify
+operating characteristics of a subchannel (e.g. channel paths).
+
+Other IO related Terms:
+
+Sysplex:
+ S390's Clustering Technology
+QDIO:
+ S390's new high speed IO architecture to support devices such as gigabit
+ ethernet, this architecture is also designed to be forward compatible with
+ upcoming 64 bit machines.
+
+
+General Concepts
+----------------
+
+Input Output Processors (IOP's) are responsible for communicating between
+the mainframe CPU's & the channel & relieve the mainframe CPU's from the
+burden of communicating with IO devices directly, this allows the CPU's to
+concentrate on data processing.
+
+IOP's can use one or more links ( known as channel paths ) to talk to each
+IO device. It first checks for path availability & chooses an available one,
+then starts ( & sometimes terminates IO ).
+There are two types of channel path: ESCON & the Parallel IO interface.
+
+IO devices are attached to control units, control units provide the
+logic to interface the channel paths & channel path IO protocols to
+the IO devices, they can be integrated with the devices or housed separately
+& often talk to several similar devices ( typical examples would be raid
+controllers or a control unit which connects to 1000 3270 terminals )::

+ IOP = IP Processor
+ CU = Control Unit
+
+The 390 IO systems come in 2 flavours the current 390 machines support both
+
+The Older 360 & 370 Interface,sometimes called the Parallel I/O interface,
+sometimes called Bus-and Tag & sometimes Original Equipment Manufacturers
+Interface (OEMI).
+
+This byte wide Parallel channel path/bus has parity & data on the "Bus" cable
+and control lines on the "Tag" cable. These can operate in byte multiplex mode
+for sharing between several slow devices or burst mode and monopolize the
+channel for the whole burst. Up to 256 devices can be addressed on one of these
+cables. These cables are about one inch in diameter. The maximum unextended
+length supported by these cables is 125 Meters but this can be extended up to
+2km with a fibre optic channel extended such as a 3044. The maximum burst speed
+supported is 4.5 megabytes per second. However, some really old processors
+support only transfer rates of 3.0, 2.0 & 1.0 MB/sec.
+One of these paths can be daisy chained to up to 8 control units.
+
+
+ESCON if fibre optic it is also called FICON
+Was introduced by IBM in 1990. Has 2 fibre optic cables and uses either leds or
+lasers for communication at a signaling rate of up to 200 megabits/sec. As
+10bits are transferred for every 8 bits info this drops to 160 megabits/sec
+and to 18.6 Megabytes/sec once control info and CRC are added. ESCON only
+operates in burst mode.
+
+ESCONs typical max cable length is 3km for the led version and 20km for the
+laser version known as XDF (extended distance facility). This can be further
+extended by using an ESCON director which triples the above mentioned ranges.
+Unlike Bus & Tag as ESCON is serial it uses a packet switching architecture,
+the standard Bus & Tag control protocol is however present within the packets.
+Up to 256 devices can be attached to each control unit that uses one of these
+interfaces.
+
+Common 390 Devices include:
+Network adapters typically OSA2,3172's,2116's & OSA-E gigabit ethernet adapters,
+Consoles 3270 & 3215 (a teletype emulated under linux for a line mode console).
+DASD's direct access storage devices ( otherwise known as hard disks ).
+Tape Drives.
+CTC ( Channel to Channel Adapters ),
+ESCON or Parallel Cables used as a very high speed serial link
+between 2 machines.
+
+
+Debugging IO on s/390 & z/Architecture under VM
+===============================================
+
+Now we are ready to go on with IO tracing commands under VM
+
+A few self explanatory queries::
+
+ Q OSA
+ Q CTC
+ Q DISK ( This command is CMS specific )
+ Q DASD
+
+Q OSA on my machine returns::
+
+ OSA 7C08 ON OSA 7C08 SUBCHANNEL = 0000
+ OSA 7C09 ON OSA 7C09 SUBCHANNEL = 0001
+ OSA 7C14 ON OSA 7C14 SUBCHANNEL = 0002
+ OSA 7C15 ON OSA 7C15 SUBCHANNEL = 0003
+
+If you have a guest with certain privileges you may be able to see devices
+which don't belong to you. To avoid this, add the option V.
+e.g.::
+
+ Q V OSA
+
+Now using the device numbers returned by this command we will
+Trace the io starting up on the first device 7c08 & 7c09
+In our simplest case we can trace the
+start subchannels
+like TR SSCH 7C08-7C09
+or the halt subchannels
+or TR HSCH 7C08-7C09
+MSCH's ,STSCH's I think you can guess the rest
+
+A good trick is tracing all the IO's and CCWS and spooling them into the reader
+of another VM guest so he can ftp the logfile back to his own machine. I'll do
+a small bit of this and give you a look at the output.
+
+1) Spool stdout to VM reader::
+
+ SP PRT TO (another vm guest ) or * for the local vm guest
+

+
+Other common VM device related commands
+---------------------------------------------
+These commands are listed only because they have
+been of use to me in the past & may be of use to
+you too. For more complete info on each of the commands
+use type HELP <command> from CMS.
+
+detaching devices::
+
+ DET <devno range>
+ ATT <devno range> <guest>
+
+attach a device to guest * for your own guest
+
+READY <devno>
+ cause VM to issue a fake interrupt.
+
+The VARY command is normally only available to VM administrators::
+
+ VARY ON PATH <path> TO <devno range>
+ VARY OFF PATH <PATH> FROM <devno range>
+
+This is used to switch on or off channel paths to devices.
+
+Q CHPID <channel path ID>
+ This displays state of devices using this channel path
+
+D SCHIB <subchannel>
+ This displays the subchannel information SCHIB block for the device.
+ this I believe is also only available to administrators.
+
+DEFINE CTC <devno>
+ defines a virtual CTC channel to channel connection
+ 2 need to be defined on each guest for the CTC driver to use.
+
+COUPLE devno userid remote devno
+ Joins a local virtual device to a remote virtual device
+ ( commonly used for the CTC driver ).
+
+Building a VM ramdisk under CMS which linux can use::
+
+ def vfb-<blocksize> <subchannel> <number blocks>
+
+blocksize is commonly 4096 for linux.
+
+Formatting it::
+
+ format <subchannel> <driver letter e.g. x> (blksize <blocksize>
+
+Sharing a disk between multiple guests::
+
+ LINK userid devno1 devno2 mode password
+
+
+
+GDB on S390
+===========
+N.B. if compiling for debugging gdb works better without optimisation
+( see Compiling programs for debugging )
+
+invocation
+----------
+gdb <victim program> <optional corefile>
+
+Online help
+-----------
+help: gives help on commands
+
+e.g.::
+
+ help
+ help display
+
+Note gdb's online help is very good use it.
+
+
+Assembly
+--------
+info registers:
+ displays registers other than floating point.
+
+info all-registers:
+ displays floating points as well.
+
+disassemble:
+ disassembles
+
+e.g.::
+
+ disassemble without parameters will disassemble the current function
+ disassemble $pc $pc+10
+
+Viewing & modifying variables
+-----------------------------
+print or p:
+ displays variable or register
+
+e.g. p/x $sp will display the stack pointer
+
+display:
+ prints variable or register each time program stops
+
+e.g.::
+
+ display/x $pc will display the program counter
+ display argc
+
+undisplay:
+ undo's display's
+
+info breakpoints:
+ shows all current breakpoints
+
+info stack:
+ shows stack back trace (if this doesn't work too well, I'll show
+ you the stacktrace by hand below).
+
+info locals:
+ displays local variables.
+
+info args:
+ display current procedure arguments.
+
+set args:
+ will set argc & argv each time the victim program is invoked
+
+e.g.::
+
+ set <variable>=value
+ set argc=100
+ set $pc=0
+
+
+
+Modifying execution
+-------------------
+step:
+ steps n lines of sourcecode
+
+step
+ steps 1 line.
+
+step 100
+ steps 100 lines of code.
+
+next:
+ like step except this will not step into subroutines
+
+stepi:
+ steps a single machine code instruction.
+
+e.g.::
+
+ stepi 100
+
+nexti:
+ steps a single machine code instruction but will not step into
+ subroutines.
+
+finish:
+ will run until exit of the current routine
+
+run:
+ (re)starts a program
+
+cont:
+ continues a program
+
+quit:
+ exits gdb.
+
+
+breakpoints
+------------
+
+break
+ sets a breakpoint
+
+e.g.::
+
+ break main
+ break *$pc
+ break *0x400618
+
+Here's a really useful one for large programs
+
+rbr
+ Set a breakpoint for all functions matching REGEXP
+
+e.g.::
+
+ rbr 390
+
+will set a breakpoint with all functions with 390 in their name.
+
+info breakpoints
+ lists all breakpoints
+
+delete:
+ delete breakpoint by number or delete them all
+
+e.g.
+
+delete 1
+ will delete the first breakpoint
+
+
+delete
+ will delete them all
+
+watch:
+ This will set a watchpoint ( usually hardware assisted ),
+
+This will watch a variable till it changes
+
+e.g.
+
+watch cnt
+ will watch the variable cnt till it changes.
+
+As an aside unfortunately gdb's, architecture independent watchpoint code
+is inconsistent & not very good, watchpoints usually work but not always.
+
+info watchpoints:
+ Display currently active watchpoints
+
+condition: ( another useful one )
+ Specify breakpoint number N to break only if COND is true.
+
+Usage is `condition N COND`, where N is an integer and COND is an
+expression to be evaluated whenever breakpoint N is reached.
+
+
+
+User defined functions/macros
+-----------------------------
+define: ( Note this is very very useful,simple & powerful )
+
+usage define <name> <list of commands> end
+
+examples which you should consider putting into .gdbinit in your home
+directory::
+
+ define d
+ stepi
+ disassemble $pc $pc+10
+ end
+ define e
+ nexti
+ disassemble $pc $pc+10
+ end
+
+
+Other hard to classify stuff
+----------------------------
+signal n:
+ sends the victim program a signal.
+
+e.g. `signal 3` will send a SIGQUIT.
+
+info signals:
+ what gdb does when the victim receives certain signals.
+
+list:
+
+e.g.:
+
+list
+ lists current function source
+list 1,10
+ list first 10 lines of current file.
+
+list test.c:1,10
+
+
+directory:
+ Adds directories to be searched for source if gdb cannot find the source.
+ (note it is a bit sensitive about slashes)
+
+e.g. To add the root of the filesystem to the searchpath do::
+
+ directory //
+
+
+call <function>
+This calls a function in the victim program, this is pretty powerful
+e.g.
+(gdb) call printf("hello world")
+outputs:
+$1 = 11
+
+You might now be thinking that the line above didn't work, something extra had
+to be done.
+(gdb) call fflush(stdout)
+hello world$2 = 0
+As an aside the debugger also calls malloc & free under the hood
+to make space for the "hello world" string.
+
+
+
+hints
+-----
+1) command completion works just like bash
+ ( if you are a bad typist like me this really helps )
+
+e.g. hit br <TAB> & cursor up & down :-).
+
+2) if you have a debugging problem that takes a few steps to recreate
+put the steps into a file called .gdbinit in your current working directory
+if you have defined a few extra useful user defined commands put these in
+your home directory & they will be read each time gdb is launched.
+
+A typical .gdbinit file might be.::
+
+ break main
+ run
+ break runtime_exception
+ cont
+
+
+stack chaining in gdb by hand
+-----------------------------
+This is done using a the same trick described for VM::
+
+ p/x (*($sp+56))&0x7fffffff
+
+get the first backchain.
+
+For z/Architecture
+Replace 56 with 112 & ignore the &0x7fffffff
+in the macros below & do nasty casts to longs like the following
+as gdb unfortunately deals with printed arguments as ints which
+messes up everything.
+
+i.e. here is a 3rd backchain dereference::
+
+ p/x *(long *)(***(long ***)$sp+112)
+
+
+this outputs::
+
+ $5 = 0x528f18
+
+on my machine.
+
+Now you can use::
+
+ info symbol (*($sp+56))&0x7fffffff
+
+you might see something like::
+
+ rl_getc + 36 in section .text
+
+telling you what is located at address 0x528f18
+Now do::
+
+ p/x (*(*$sp+56))&0x7fffffff
+
+This outputs::
+
+ $6 = 0x528ed0
+
+Now do::
+
+ info symbol (*(*$sp+56))&0x7fffffff
+ rl_read_key + 180 in section .text
+
+now do::
+
+ p/x (*(**$sp+56))&0x7fffffff
+
+& so on.
+
+Disassembling instructions without debug info
+---------------------------------------------
+gdb typically complains if there is a lack of debugging
+symbols in the disassemble command with
+"No function contains specified address." To get around
+this do::
+
+ x/<number lines to disassemble>xi <address>
+
+e.g.::
+
+ x/20xi 0x400730
+
+
+
+Note:
+ Remember gdb has history just like bash you don't need to retype the
+ whole line just use the up & down arrows.
+
+
+
+For more info
+-------------
+From your linuxbox do::
+
+ man gdb
+
+or::
+
+ info gdb.
+
+core dumps
+----------
+
+What a core dump ?
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A core dump is a file generated by the kernel (if allowed) which contains the
+registers and all active pages of the program which has crashed.
+
+From this file gdb will allow you to look at the registers, stack trace and
+memory of the program as if it just crashed on your system. It is usually
+called core and created in the current working directory.
+
+This is very useful in that a customer can mail a core dump to a technical
+support department and the technical support department can reconstruct what
+happened. Provided they have an identical copy of this program with debugging
+symbols compiled in and the source base of this build is available.
+
+In short it is far more useful than something like a crash log could ever hope
+to be.
+
+Why have I never seen one ?
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Probably because you haven't used the command::
+
+ ulimit -c unlimited in bash
+
+to allow core dumps, now do::
+
+ ulimit -a
+
+to verify that the limit was accepted.
+
+A sample core dump
+ To create this I'm going to do::
+
+ ulimit -c unlimited
+ gdb
+
+to launch gdb (my victim app. ) now be bad & do the following from another
+telnet/xterm session to the same machine::
+
+ ps -aux | grep gdb
+ kill -SIGSEGV <gdb's pid>
+
+or alternatively use `killall -SIGSEGV gdb` if you have the killall command.
+
+Now look at the core dump::
+
+ ./gdb core
+
+Displays the following::

+
+LDD
+===
+This is a program which lists the shared libraries which a library needs,
+Note you also get the relocations of the shared library text segments which
+help when using objdump --source.
+
+e.g.::
+
+ ldd ./gdb
+
+outputs::
+
+ libncurses.so.4 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.4 (0x40018000)
+ libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4005e000)
+ libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40084000)
+ /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
+
+
+Debugging shared libraries
+==========================
+Most programs use shared libraries, however it can be very painful
+when you single step instruction into a function like printf for the
+first time & you end up in functions like _dl_runtime_resolve this is
+the ld.so doing lazy binding, lazy binding is a concept in ELF where
+shared library functions are not loaded into memory unless they are
+actually used, great for saving memory but a pain to debug.
+
+To get around this either relink the program -static or exit gdb type
+export LD_BIND_NOW=true this will stop lazy binding & restart the gdb'ing
+the program in question.
+
+
+
+Debugging modules
+=================
+As modules are dynamically loaded into the kernel their address can be
+anywhere to get around this use the -m option with insmod to emit a load
+map which can be piped into a file if required.
+
+The proc file system
+====================
+What is it ?.
+It is a filesystem created by the kernel with files which are created on demand
+by the kernel if read, or can be used to modify kernel parameters,
+it is a powerful concept.
+
+e.g.::
+
+ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
+
+On my machine outputs::
+
+ 0
+
+telling me ip_forwarding is not on to switch it on I can do::
+
+ echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
+
+cat it again::
+
+ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
+
+On my machine now outputs::
+
+ 1
+
+IP forwarding is on.
+
+There is a lot of useful info in here best found by going in and having a look
+around, so I'll take you through some entries I consider important.
+
+All the processes running on the machine have their own entry defined by
+/proc/<pid>
+
+So lets have a look at the init process::
+
+ cd /proc/1
+ cat cmdline
+
+emits::
+
+ init [2]
+
+::
+
+ cd /proc/1/fd
+
+This contains numerical entries of all the open files,
+some of these you can cat e.g. stdout (2)::
+
+ cat /proc/29/maps
+
+on my machine emits::
+
+ 00400000-00478000 r-xp 00000000 5f:00 4103 /bin/bash
+ 00478000-0047e000 rw-p 00077000 5f:00 4103 /bin/bash

+ 7fffd000-80000000 rwxp ffffe000 00:00 0
+
+
+Showing us the shared libraries init uses where they are in memory
+& memory access permissions for each virtual memory area.
+
+/proc/1/cwd is a softlink to the current working directory.
+
+/proc/1/root is the root of the filesystem for this process.
+
+/proc/1/mem is the current running processes memory which you
+can read & write to like a file.
+
+strace uses this sometimes as it is a bit faster than the
+rather inefficient ptrace interface for peeking at DATA.

+
+Some driver debugging techniques
+================================
+debug feature
+-------------
+Some of our drivers now support a "debug feature" in
+/proc/s390dbf see s390dbf.txt in the linux/Documentation directory
+for more info.
+
+e.g.
+to switch on the lcs "debug feature"::
+
+ echo 5 > /proc/s390dbf/lcs/level
+
+& then after the error occurred::
+
+ cat /proc/s390dbf/lcs/sprintf >/logfile
+
+the logfile now contains some information which may help
+tech support resolve a problem in the field.
+
+
+
+high level debugging network drivers
+------------------------------------
+ifconfig is a quite useful command
+it gives the current state of network drivers.
+
+If you suspect your network device driver is dead
+one way to check is type::
+
+ ifconfig <network device>
+
+e.g. tr0
+
+You should see something like::
+
+ ifconfig tr0
+ tr0 Link encap:16/4 Mbps Token Ring (New) HWaddr 00:04:AC:20:8E:48
+ inet addr:9.164.185.132 Bcast:9.164.191.255 Mask:255.255.224.0
+ UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:2000 Metric:1
+ RX packets:246134 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
+ TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
+ collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
+
+if the device doesn't say up
+try::
+
+ /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
+
+( this starts the network stack & hopefully calls ifconfig tr0 up ).
+ifconfig looks at the output of /proc/net/dev and presents it in a more
+presentable form.
+
+Now ping the device from a machine in the same subnet.
+
+if the RX packets count & TX packets counts don't increment you probably
+have problems.
+
+next::
+
+ cat /proc/net/arp
+
+Do you see any hardware addresses in the cache if not you may have problems.
+Next try::
+
+ ping -c 5 <broadcast_addr>
+
+i.e. the Bcast field above in the output of
+ifconfig. Do you see any replies from machines other than the local machine
+if not you may have problems. also if the TX packets count in ifconfig
+hasn't incremented either you have serious problems in your driver
+(e.g. the txbusy field of the network device being stuck on )
+or you may have multiple network devices connected.
+
+
+chandev
+-------
+There is a new device layer for channel devices, some
+drivers e.g. lcs are registered with this layer.
+
+If the device uses the channel device layer you'll be
+able to find what interrupts it uses & the current state
+of the device.
+

+SysRq
+=====
+This is now supported by linux for s/390 & z/Architecture.
+
+To enable it do compile the kernel with::
+
+ Kernel Hacking -> Magic SysRq Key Enabled
+
+Then::
+
+ echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
+
+also type::
+
+ echo "8" >/proc/sys/kernel/printk
+
+To make printk output go to console.
+
+On 390 all commands are prefixed with::
+
+ ^-
+
+e.g.::
+
+ ^-t will show tasks.
+ ^-? or some unknown command will display help.
+
+The sysrq key reading is very picky ( I have to type the keys in an
+xterm session & paste them into the x3270 console )
+& it may be wise to predefine the keys as described in the VM hints above
+
+This is particularly useful for syncing disks unmounting & rebooting
+if the machine gets partially hung.

+S390 Debug Feature
+==================
+
+files:
+ - arch/s390/kernel/debug.c
+ - arch/s390/include/asm/debug.h
+
+Description:
+------------
+The goal of this feature is to provide a kernel debug logging API
+where log records can be stored efficiently in memory, where each component
+(e.g. device drivers) can have one separate debug log.
+One purpose of this is to inspect the debug logs after a production system crash
+in order to analyze the reason for the crash.
+
+If the system still runs but only a subcomponent which uses dbf fails,
+it is possible to look at the debug logs on a live system via the Linux
+debugfs filesystem.
+
+The debug feature may also very useful for kernel and driver development.
+
+Design:
+-------
+Kernel components (e.g. device drivers) can register themselves at the debug
+feature with the function call :c:func:`debug_register()`.
+This function initializes a
+debug log for the caller. For each debug log exists a number of debug areas
+where exactly one is active at one time. Each debug area consists of contiguous
+pages in memory. In the debug areas there are stored debug entries (log records)
+which are written by event- and exception-calls.
+
+An event-call writes the specified debug entry to the active debug
+area and updates the log pointer for the active area. If the end
+of the active debug area is reached, a wrap around is done (ring buffer)
+and the next debug entry will be written at the beginning of the active
+debug area.
+
+An exception-call writes the specified debug entry to the log and
+switches to the next debug area. This is done in order to be sure
+that the records which describe the origin of the exception are not
+overwritten when a wrap around for the current area occurs.
+
+The debug areas themselves are also ordered in form of a ring buffer.
+When an exception is thrown in the last debug area, the following debug
+entries are then written again in the very first area.
+
+There are four versions for the event- and exception-calls: One for
+logging raw data, one for text, one for numbers (unsigned int and long),
+and one for sprintf-like formatted strings.
+
+Each debug entry contains the following data:
+
+- Timestamp
+- Cpu-Number of calling task
+- Level of debug entry (0...6)
+- Return Address to caller
+- Flag, if entry is an exception or not
+
+The debug logs can be inspected in a live system through entries in
+the debugfs-filesystem. Under the toplevel directory "``s390dbf``" there is
+a directory for each registered component, which is named like the
+corresponding component. The debugfs normally should be mounted to
+``/sys/kernel/debug`` therefore the debug feature can be accessed under
+``/sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf``.
+
+The content of the directories are files which represent different views
+to the debug log. Each component can decide which views should be
+used through registering them with the function :c:func:`debug_register_view()`.
+Predefined views for hex/ascii, sprintf and raw binary data are provided.
+It is also possible to define other views. The content of
+a view can be inspected simply by reading the corresponding debugfs file.
+
+All debug logs have an actual debug level (range from 0 to 6).
+The default level is 3. Event and Exception functions have a :c:data:`level`
+parameter. Only debug entries with a level that is lower or equal
+than the actual level are written to the log. This means, when
+writing events, high priority log entries should have a low level
+value whereas low priority entries should have a high one.
+The actual debug level can be changed with the help of the debugfs-filesystem
+through writing a number string "x" to the ``level`` debugfs file which is
+provided for every debug log. Debugging can be switched off completely
+by using "-" on the ``level`` debugfs file.
+
+Example::
+
+ > echo "-" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
+
+It is also possible to deactivate the debug feature globally for every
+debug log. You can change the behavior using 2 sysctl parameters in
+``/proc/sys/s390dbf``:
+
+There are currently 2 possible triggers, which stop the debug feature
+globally. The first possibility is to use the ``debug_active`` sysctl. If
+set to 1 the debug feature is running. If ``debug_active`` is set to 0 the
+debug feature is turned off.
+
+The second trigger which stops the debug feature is a kernel oops.
+That prevents the debug feature from overwriting debug information that
+happened before the oops. After an oops you can reactivate the debug feature
+by piping 1 to ``/proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_active``. Nevertheless, it's not
+suggested to use an oopsed kernel in a production environment.
+
+If you want to disallow the deactivation of the debug feature, you can use
+the ``debug_stoppable`` sysctl. If you set ``debug_stoppable`` to 0 the debug
+feature cannot be stopped. If the debug feature is already stopped, it
+will stay deactivated.

+
+Changing the debug level
+------------------------
+
+Example::
+
+
+ > cat /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
+ 3
+ > echo "5" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
+ > cat /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
+ 5
+
+Flushing debug areas
+--------------------
+Debug areas can be flushed with piping the number of the desired
+area (0...n) to the debugfs file "flush". When using "-" all debug areas
+are flushed.
+
+Examples:
+
+1. Flush debug area 0::
+
+ > echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/flush
+
+2. Flush all debug areas::
+
+ > echo "-" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/flush
+
+Changing the size of debug areas
+------------------------------------
+It is possible the change the size of debug areas through piping
+the number of pages to the debugfs file "pages". The resize request will
+also flush the debug areas.
+
+Example:
+
+Define 4 pages for the debug areas of debug feature "dasd"::
+
+ > echo "4" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/pages
+
+Stopping the debug feature
+--------------------------
+Example:
+
+1. Check if stopping is allowed::
+
+ > cat /proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_stoppable
+
+2. Stop debug feature::
+
+ > echo 0 > /proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_active
+
+crash Interface
+----------------
+The ``crash`` tool since v5.1.0 has a built-in command
+``s390dbf`` to display all the debug logs or export them to the file system.
+With this tool it is possible
+to investigate the debug logs on a live system and with a memory dump after
+a system crash.
+
+Investigating raw memory
+------------------------
+One last possibility to investigate the debug logs at a live
+system and after a system crash is to look at the raw memory
+under VM or at the Service Element.
+It is possible to find the anchor of the debug-logs through
+the ``debug_area_first`` symbol in the System map. Then one has
+to follow the correct pointers of the data-structures defined
+in debug.h and find the debug-areas in memory.
+Normally modules which use the debug feature will also have
+a global variable with the pointer to the debug-logs. Following
+this pointer it will also be possible to find the debug logs in
+memory.
+
+For this method it is recommended to use '16 * x + 4' byte (x = 0..n)
+for the length of the data field in :c:func:`debug_register()` in
+order to see the debug entries well formatted.
+
+
+Predefined Views
+----------------
+
+There are three predefined views: hex_ascii, raw and sprintf.
+The hex_ascii view shows the data field in hex and ascii representation
+(e.g. ``45 43 4b 44 | ECKD``).
+The raw view returns a bytestream as the debug areas are stored in memory.
+
+The sprintf view formats the debug entries in the same way as the sprintf
+function would do. The sprintf event/exception functions write to the
+debug entry a pointer to the format string (size = sizeof(long))
+and for each vararg a long value. So e.g. for a debug entry with a format
+string plus two varargs one would need to allocate a (3 * sizeof(long))
+byte data area in the debug_register() function.
+
+IMPORTANT:
+ Using "%s" in sprintf event functions is dangerous. You can only
+ use "%s" in the sprintf event functions, if the memory for the passed string
+ is available as long as the debug feature exists. The reason behind this is
+ that due to performance considerations only a pointer to the string is stored
+ in the debug feature. If you log a string that is freed afterwards, you will
+ get an OOPS when inspecting the debug feature, because then the debug feature
+ will access the already freed memory.
+
+NOTE:
+ If using the sprintf view do NOT use other event/exception functions
+ than the sprintf-event and -exception functions.
+
+The format of the hex_ascii and sprintf view is as follows:
+
+- Number of area
+- Timestamp (formatted as seconds and microseconds since 00:00:00 Coordinated
+ Universal Time (UTC), January 1, 1970)
+- level of debug entry
+- Exception flag (* = Exception)
+- Cpu-Number of calling task
+- Return Address to caller
+- data field
+
+The format of the raw view is:
+
+- Header as described in debug.h
+- datafield
+
+A typical line of the hex_ascii view will look like the following (first line
+is only for explanation and will not be displayed when 'cating' the view)::
+
+ area time level exception cpu caller data (hex + ascii)

+
+
+Defining views
+--------------
+
+Views are specified with the 'debug_view' structure. There are defined
+callback functions which are used for reading and writing the debugfs files:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct debug_view {
+ char name[DEBUG_MAX_PROCF_LEN];
+ debug_prolog_proc_t* prolog_proc;
+ debug_header_proc_t* header_proc;
+ debug_format_proc_t* format_proc;
+ debug_input_proc_t* input_proc;
+ void* private_data;
+ };
+
+where:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ typedef int (debug_header_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
+ struct debug_view* view,
+ int area,
+ debug_entry_t* entry,
+ char* out_buf);
+
+ typedef int (debug_format_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
+ struct debug_view* view, char* out_buf,
+ const char* in_buf);
+ typedef int (debug_prolog_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
+ struct debug_view* view,
+ char* out_buf);
+ typedef int (debug_input_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
+ struct debug_view* view,
+ struct file* file, const char* user_buf,
+ size_t in_buf_size, loff_t* offset);
+
+
+The "private_data" member can be used as pointer to view specific data.
+It is not used by the debug feature itself.
+
+The output when reading a debugfs file is structured like this::
+
+ "prolog_proc output"
+
+ "header_proc output 1" "format_proc output 1"
+ "header_proc output 2" "format_proc output 2"
+ "header_proc output 3" "format_proc output 3"
+ ...
+
+When a view is read from the debugfs, the Debug Feature calls the
+'prolog_proc' once for writing the prolog.
+Then 'header_proc' and 'format_proc' are called for each
+existing debug entry.
+
+The input_proc can be used to implement functionality when it is written to
+the view (e.g. like with ``echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level``).
+
+For header_proc there can be used the default function
+:c:func:`debug_dflt_header_fn()` which is defined in debug.h.
+and which produces the same header output as the predefined views.
+E.g::
+
+ 00 00964419409:440761 2 - 00 88023ec
+
+In order to see how to use the callback functions check the implementation
+of the default views!
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <asm/debug.h>
+
+ #define UNKNOWNSTR "data: %08x"
+
+ const char* messages[] =
+ {"This error...........\n",
+ "That error...........\n",
+ "Problem..............\n",
+ "Something went wrong.\n",
+ "Everything ok........\n",
+ NULL
+ };
+
+ static int debug_test_format_fn(
+ debug_info_t *id, struct debug_view *view,
+ char *out_buf, const char *in_buf
+ )
+ {
+ int i, rc = 0;
+
+ if (id->buf_size >= 4) {
+ int msg_nr = *((int*)in_buf);
+ if (msg_nr < sizeof(messages) / sizeof(char*) - 1)
+ rc += sprintf(out_buf, "%s", messages[msg_nr]);
+ else
+ rc += sprintf(out_buf, UNKNOWNSTR, msg_nr);
+ }
+ return rc;
+ }
+
+ struct debug_view debug_test_view = {
+ "myview", /* name of view */

-S390 Debug Feature
-==================
-
-files: arch/s390/kernel/debug.c
- arch/s390/include/asm/debug.h
-
-Description:
-------------
-The goal of this feature is to provide a kernel debug logging API
-where log records can be stored efficiently in memory, where each component
-(e.g. device drivers) can have one separate debug log.
-One purpose of this is to inspect the debug logs after a production system crash
-in order to analyze the reason for the crash.
-If the system still runs but only a subcomponent which uses dbf fails,
-it is possible to look at the debug logs on a live system via the Linux
-debugfs filesystem.
-The debug feature may also very useful for kernel and driver development.
-
-Design:
--------
-Kernel components (e.g. device drivers) can register themselves at the debug
-feature with the function call debug_register(). This function initializes a
-debug log for the caller. For each debug log exists a number of debug areas
-where exactly one is active at one time. Each debug area consists of contiguous
-pages in memory. In the debug areas there are stored debug entries (log records)
-which are written by event- and exception-calls.
-
-An event-call writes the specified debug entry to the active debug
-area and updates the log pointer for the active area. If the end
-of the active debug area is reached, a wrap around is done (ring buffer)
-and the next debug entry will be written at the beginning of the active
-debug area.
-
-An exception-call writes the specified debug entry to the log and
-switches to the next debug area. This is done in order to be sure
-that the records which describe the origin of the exception are not
-overwritten when a wrap around for the current area occurs.
-
-The debug areas themselves are also ordered in form of a ring buffer.
-When an exception is thrown in the last debug area, the following debug
-entries are then written again in the very first area.
-
-There are three versions for the event- and exception-calls: One for
-logging raw data, one for text and one for numbers.
-
-Each debug entry contains the following data:
-
-- Timestamp
-- Cpu-Number of calling task
-- Level of debug entry (0...6)
-- Return Address to caller
-- Flag, if entry is an exception or not
-
-The debug logs can be inspected in a live system through entries in
-the debugfs-filesystem. Under the toplevel directory "s390dbf" there is
-a directory for each registered component, which is named like the
-corresponding component. The debugfs normally should be mounted to
-/sys/kernel/debug therefore the debug feature can be accessed under
-/sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf.
-
-The content of the directories are files which represent different views
-to the debug log. Each component can decide which views should be
-used through registering them with the function debug_register_view().
-Predefined views for hex/ascii, sprintf and raw binary data are provided.
-It is also possible to define other views. The content of
-a view can be inspected simply by reading the corresponding debugfs file.
-
-All debug logs have an actual debug level (range from 0 to 6).
-The default level is 3. Event and Exception functions have a 'level'
-parameter. Only debug entries with a level that is lower or equal
-than the actual level are written to the log. This means, when
-writing events, high priority log entries should have a low level
-value whereas low priority entries should have a high one.
-The actual debug level can be changed with the help of the debugfs-filesystem
-through writing a number string "x" to the 'level' debugfs file which is
-provided for every debug log. Debugging can be switched off completely
-by using "-" on the 'level' debugfs file.
-
-Example:
-
-> echo "-" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
-
-It is also possible to deactivate the debug feature globally for every
-debug log. You can change the behavior using 2 sysctl parameters in
-/proc/sys/s390dbf:
-There are currently 2 possible triggers, which stop the debug feature
-globally. The first possibility is to use the "debug_active" sysctl. If
-set to 1 the debug feature is running. If "debug_active" is set to 0 the
-debug feature is turned off.
-The second trigger which stops the debug feature is a kernel oops.
-That prevents the debug feature from overwriting debug information that
-happened before the oops. After an oops you can reactivate the debug feature
-by piping 1 to /proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_active. Nevertheless, its not
-suggested to use an oopsed kernel in a production environment.
-If you want to disallow the deactivation of the debug feature, you can use
-the "debug_stoppable" sysctl. If you set "debug_stoppable" to 0 the debug
-feature cannot be stopped. If the debug feature is already stopped, it
-will stay deactivated.

-Changing the debug level
-------------------------
-
-Example:
-
-
-> cat /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
-3
-> echo "5" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
-> cat /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
-5
-
-Flushing debug areas
---------------------
-Debug areas can be flushed with piping the number of the desired
-area (0...n) to the debugfs file "flush". When using "-" all debug areas
-are flushed.
-
-Examples:
-
-1. Flush debug area 0:
-> echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/flush
-
-2. Flush all debug areas:
-> echo "-" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/flush
-
-Changing the size of debug areas
-------------------------------------
-It is possible the change the size of debug areas through piping
-the number of pages to the debugfs file "pages". The resize request will
-also flush the debug areas.
-
-Example:
-
-Define 4 pages for the debug areas of debug feature "dasd":
-> echo "4" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/pages
-
-Stooping the debug feature
---------------------------
-Example:
-
-1. Check if stopping is allowed
-> cat /proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_stoppable
-2. Stop debug feature
-> echo 0 > /proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_active
-
-lcrash Interface
-----------------
-It is planned that the dump analysis tool lcrash gets an additional command
-'s390dbf' to display all the debug logs. With this tool it will be possible
-to investigate the debug logs on a live system and with a memory dump after
-a system crash.
-
-Investigating raw memory
-------------------------
-One last possibility to investigate the debug logs at a live
-system and after a system crash is to look at the raw memory
-under VM or at the Service Element.
-It is possible to find the anker of the debug-logs through
-the 'debug_area_first' symbol in the System map. Then one has
-to follow the correct pointers of the data-structures defined
-in debug.h and find the debug-areas in memory.
-Normally modules which use the debug feature will also have
-a global variable with the pointer to the debug-logs. Following
-this pointer it will also be possible to find the debug logs in
-memory.
-
-For this method it is recommended to use '16 * x + 4' byte (x = 0..n)
-for the length of the data field in debug_register() in
-order to see the debug entries well formatted.
-
-
-Predefined Views
-----------------
-
-There are three predefined views: hex_ascii, raw and sprintf.
-The hex_ascii view shows the data field in hex and ascii representation
-(e.g. '45 43 4b 44 | ECKD').
-The raw view returns a bytestream as the debug areas are stored in memory.
-
-The sprintf view formats the debug entries in the same way as the sprintf
-function would do. The sprintf event/exception functions write to the
-debug entry a pointer to the format string (size = sizeof(long))
-and for each vararg a long value. So e.g. for a debug entry with a format
-string plus two varargs one would need to allocate a (3 * sizeof(long))
-byte data area in the debug_register() function.
-
-IMPORTANT: Using "%s" in sprintf event functions is dangerous. You can only
-use "%s" in the sprintf event functions, if the memory for the passed string is
-available as long as the debug feature exists. The reason behind this is that
-due to performance considerations only a pointer to the string is stored in
-the debug feature. If you log a string that is freed afterwards, you will get
-an OOPS when inspecting the debug feature, because then the debug feature will
-access the already freed memory.
-
-NOTE: If using the sprintf view do NOT use other event/exception functions
-than the sprintf-event and -exception functions.
-
-The format of the hex_ascii and sprintf view is as follows:
-- Number of area
-- Timestamp (formatted as seconds and microseconds since 00:00:00 Coordinated
- Universal Time (UTC), January 1, 1970)
-- level of debug entry
-- Exception flag (* = Exception)
-- Cpu-Number of calling task
-- Return Address to caller
-- data field
-
-The format of the raw view is:
-- Header as described in debug.h
-- datafield
-
-A typical line of the hex_ascii view will look like the following (first line
-is only for explanation and will not be displayed when 'cating' the view):
-
-area time level exception cpu caller data (hex + ascii)

-Defining views
---------------
-
-Views are specified with the 'debug_view' structure. There are defined
-callback functions which are used for reading and writing the debugfs files:
-
-struct debug_view {
- char name[DEBUG_MAX_PROCF_LEN];
- debug_prolog_proc_t* prolog_proc;
- debug_header_proc_t* header_proc;
- debug_format_proc_t* format_proc;
- debug_input_proc_t* input_proc;
- void* private_data;
-};
-
-where
-
-typedef int (debug_header_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
- struct debug_view* view,
- int area,
- debug_entry_t* entry,
- char* out_buf);
-
-typedef int (debug_format_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
- struct debug_view* view, char* out_buf,
- const char* in_buf);
-typedef int (debug_prolog_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
- struct debug_view* view,
- char* out_buf);
-typedef int (debug_input_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
- struct debug_view* view,
- struct file* file, const char* user_buf,
- size_t in_buf_size, loff_t* offset);
-
-
-The "private_data" member can be used as pointer to view specific data.
-It is not used by the debug feature itself.
-
-The output when reading a debugfs file is structured like this:
-
-"prolog_proc output"
-
-"header_proc output 1" "format_proc output 1"
-"header_proc output 2" "format_proc output 2"
-"header_proc output 3" "format_proc output 3"
-...
-
-When a view is read from the debugfs, the Debug Feature calls the
-'prolog_proc' once for writing the prolog.
-Then 'header_proc' and 'format_proc' are called for each
-existing debug entry.
-
-The input_proc can be used to implement functionality when it is written to
-the view (e.g. like with 'echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level).
-
-For header_proc there can be used the default function
-debug_dflt_header_fn() which is defined in debug.h.
-and which produces the same header output as the predefined views.
-E.g:
-00 00964419409:440761 2 - 00 88023ec
-
-In order to see how to use the callback functions check the implementation
-of the default views!
-

-
-#include <asm/debug.h>
-
-#define UNKNOWNSTR "data: %08x"
-
-const char* messages[] =
-{"This error...........\n",
- "That error...........\n",
- "Problem..............\n",
- "Something went wrong.\n",
- "Everything ok........\n",
- NULL
-};
-
-static int debug_test_format_fn(
- debug_info_t * id, struct debug_view *view,
- char *out_buf, const char *in_buf
-)
-{
- int i, rc = 0;
-
- if(id->buf_size >= 4) {
- int msg_nr = *((int*)in_buf);
- if(msg_nr < sizeof(messages)/sizeof(char*) - 1)
- rc += sprintf(out_buf, "%s", messages[msg_nr]);
- else
- rc += sprintf(out_buf, UNKNOWNSTR, msg_nr);
- }
- out:
- return rc;
-}

-README file for the osst driver
-===============================
-(w) Kurt Garloff <garloff@suse.de> 12/2000
-
-This file describes the osst driver as of version 0.8.x/0.9.x, the released
-version of the osst driver.
-It is intended to help advanced users to understand the role of osst and to
-get them started using (and maybe debugging) it.
-It won't address issues like "How do I compile a kernel?" or "How do I load
-a module?", as these are too basic.
-Once the OnStream got merged into the official kernel, the distro makers
-will provide the OnStream support for those who are not familiar with
-hacking their kernels.
-
-
-Purpose
--------
-The osst driver was developed, because the standard SCSI tape driver in
-Linux, st, does not support the OnStream SC-x0 SCSI tape. The st is not to
-blame for that, as the OnStream tape drives do not support the standard SCSI
-command set for Serial Access Storage Devices (SASDs), which basically
-corresponds to the QIC-157 spec.
-Nevertheless, the OnStream tapes are nice pieces of hardware and therefore
-the osst driver has been written to make these tape devs supported by Linux.
-The driver is free software. It's released under the GNU GPL and planned to
-be integrated into the mainstream kernel.
-
-
-Implementation
---------------
-The osst is a new high-level SCSI driver, just like st, sr, sd and sg. It
-can be compiled into the kernel or loaded as a module.
-As it represents a new device, it got assigned a new device node: /dev/osstX
-are character devices with major no 206 and minor numbers like the /dev/stX
-devices. If those are not present, you may create them by calling
-Makedevs.sh as root (see below).
-The driver started being a copy of st and as such, the osst devices'
-behavior looks very much the same as st to the userspace applications.
-
-
-History
--------
-In the first place, osst shared its identity very much with st. That meant
-that it used the same kernel structures and the same device node as st.
-So you could only have either of them being present in the kernel. This has
-been fixed by registering an own device, now.
-st and osst can coexist, each only accessing the devices it can support by
-themselves.
-
-
-Installation
-------------
-osst got integrated into the linux kernel. Select it during kernel
-configuration as module or compile statically into the kernel.
-Compile your kernel and install the modules.
-
-Now, your osst driver is inside the kernel or available as a module,
-depending on your choice during kernel config. You may still need to create
-the device nodes by calling the Makedevs.sh script (see below) manually.
-
-To load your module, you may use the command
-modprobe osst
-as root. dmesg should show you, whether your OnStream tapes have been
-recognized.
-
-If you want to have the module autoloaded on access to /dev/osst, you may
-add something like
-alias char-major-206 osst
-to a file under /etc/modprobe.d/ directory.
-
-You may find it convenient to create a symbolic link
-ln -s nosst0 /dev/tape
-to make programs assuming a default name of /dev/tape more convenient to
-use.
-
-The device nodes for osst have to be created. Use the Makedevs.sh script
-attached to this file.
-
-
-Using it
---------
-You may use the OnStream tape driver with your standard backup software,
-which may be tar, cpio, amanda, arkeia, BRU, Lone Tar, ...
-by specifying /dev/(n)osst0 as the tape device to use or using the above
-symlink trick. The IOCTLs to control tape operation are also mostly
-supported and you may try the mt (or mt_st) program to jump between
-filemarks, eject the tape, ...
-
-There's one limitation: You need to use a block size of 32kB.
-
-(This limitation is worked on and will be fixed in version 0.8.8 of
- this driver.)
-
-If you just want to get started with standard software, here is an example
-for creating and restoring a full backup:
-# Backup
-tar cvf - / --exclude /proc | buffer -s 32k -m 24M -B -t -o /dev/nosst0
-# Restore
-buffer -s 32k -m 8M -B -t -i /dev/osst0 | tar xvf - -C /
-
-The buffer command has been used to buffer the data before it goes to the
-tape (or the file system) in order to smooth out the data stream and prevent
-the tape from needing to stop and rewind. The OnStream does have an internal
-buffer and a variable speed which help this, but especially on writing, the
-buffering still proves useful in most cases. It also pads the data to
-guarantees the block size of 32k. (Otherwise you may pass the -b64 option to
-tar.)
-Expect something like 1.8MB/s for the SC-x0 drives and 0.9MB/s for the DI-30.
-The USB drive will give you about 0.7MB/s.
-On a fast machine, you may profit from software data compression (z flag for
-tar).
-
-
-USB and IDE
------------
-Via the SCSI emulation layers usb-storage and ide-scsi, you can also use the
-osst driver to drive the USB-30 and the DI-30 drives. (Unfortunately, there
-is no such layer for the parallel port, otherwise the DP-30 would work as
-well.) For the USB support, you need the latest 2.4.0-test kernels and the
-latest usb-storage driver from
-http://www.linux-usb.org/
-http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=3581
-
-Note that the ide-tape driver as of 1.16f uses a slightly outdated on-tape
-format and therefore is not completely interoperable with osst tapes.
-
-The ADR-x0 line is fully SCSI-2 compliant and is supported by st, not osst.
-The on-tape format is supposed to be compatible with the one used by osst.
-
-
-Feedback and updates
---------------------
-The driver development is coordinated through a mailing list
-<osst@linux1.onstream.nl>
-a CVS repository and some web pages.
-The tester's pages which contain recent news and updated drivers to download
-can be found on
-http://sourceforge.net/projects/osst/
-
-If you find any problems, please have a look at the tester's page in order
-to see whether the problem is already known and solved. Otherwise, please
-report it to the mailing list. Your feedback is welcome. (This holds also
-for reports of successful usage, of course.)
-In case of trouble, please do always provide the following info:
-* driver and kernel version used (see syslog)
-* driver messages (syslog)
-* SCSI config and OnStream Firmware (/proc/scsi/scsi)
-* description of error. Is it reproducible?
-* software and commands used
-
-You may subscribe to the mailing list, BTW, it's a majordomo list.
-
-
-Status
-------
-0.8.0 was the first widespread BETA release. Since then a lot of reports
-have been sent, but mostly reported success or only minor trouble.
-All the issues have been addressed.
-Check the web pages for more info about the current developments.
-0.9.x is the tree for the 2.3/2.4 kernel.
-
-
-Acknowledgments
-----------------
-The driver has been started by making a copy of Kai Makisara's st driver.
-Most of the development has been done by Willem Riede. The presence of the
-userspace program osg (onstreamsg) from Terry Hardie has been rather
-helpful. The same holds for Gadi Oxman's ide-tape support for the DI-30.
-I did add some patches to those drivers as well and coordinated things a
-little bit.
-Note that most of them did mostly spend their spare time for the creation of
-this driver.
-The people from OnStream, especially Jack Bombeeck did support this project
-and always tried to answer HW or FW related questions. Furthermore, he
-pushed the FW developers to do the right things.
-SuSE did support this project by allowing me to work on it during my working
-time for them and by integrating the driver into their distro.
-
-More people did help by sending useful comments. Sorry to those who have
-been forgotten. Thanks to all the GNU/FSF and Linux developers who made this
-platform such an interesting, nice and stable platform.
-Thanks go to those who tested the drivers and did send useful reports. Your
-help is needed!

-
- This driver and installation procedure have been developed upon Linux Kernel
- 2.4.x and 2.6.x. This driver supports Intel x86 hardware platform. In order
- to maintain compatibility, this version has also been properly tested with
- RedHat, Mandrake, Fedora and S.u.S.E Linux. However, if compatibility problem
- occurs, please contact Moxa at support@moxa.com.tw.
-
- In addition to device driver, useful utilities are also provided in this
- version. They are
- - msdiag Diagnostic program for displaying installed Moxa
- Smartio/Industio boards.
- - msmon Monitor program to observe data count and line status signals.
- - msterm A simple terminal program which is useful in testing serial
- ports.
- - io-irq.exe Configuration program to setup ISA boards. Please note that
- this program can only be executed under DOS.
-
- All the drivers and utilities are published in form of source code under
- GNU General Public License in this version. Please refer to GNU General
- Public License announcement in each source code file for more detail.
-
- In Moxa's Web sites, you may always find latest driver at http://www.moxa.com/.
-
- This version of driver can be installed as Loadable Module (Module driver)
- or built-in into kernel (Static driver). You may refer to following
- installation procedure for suitable one. Before you install the driver,
- please refer to hardware installation procedure in the User's Manual.
-
- We assume the user should be familiar with following documents.
- - Serial-HOWTO
- - Kernel-HOWTO
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-2. System Requirement
- - Hardware platform: Intel x86 machine
- - Kernel version: 2.4.x or 2.6.x
- - gcc version 2.72 or later
- - Maximum 4 boards can be installed in combination
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-3. Installation
-
- 3.1 Hardware installation
- 3.2 Driver files
- 3.3 Device naming convention
- 3.4 Module driver configuration
- 3.5 Static driver configuration for Linux kernel 2.4.x, 2.6.x.
- 3.6 Custom configuration
- 3.7 Verify driver installation
-
-
- 3.1 Hardware installation
-
- There are two types of buses, ISA and PCI, for Smartio/Industio
- family multiport board.
-
- ISA board
- ---------
- You'll have to configure CAP address, I/O address, Interrupt Vector
- as well as IRQ before installing this driver. Please refer to hardware
- installation procedure in User's Manual before proceed any further.
- Please make sure the JP1 is open after the ISA board is set properly.
-
- PCI/UPCI board
- --------------
- You may need to adjust IRQ usage in BIOS to avoid from IRQ conflict
- with other ISA devices. Please refer to hardware installation
- procedure in User's Manual in advance.
-
- PCI IRQ Sharing
- -----------
- Each port within the same multiport board shares the same IRQ. Up to
- 4 Moxa Smartio/Industio PCI Family multiport boards can be installed
- together on one system and they can share the same IRQ.
-
-
- 3.2 Driver files
-
- The driver file may be obtained from ftp, CD-ROM or floppy disk. The
- first step, anyway, is to copy driver file "mxser.tgz" into specified
- directory. e.g. /moxa. The execute commands as below.
-
- # cd /
- # mkdir moxa
- # cd /moxa
- # tar xvf /dev/fd0
-
- or
-
- # cd /
- # mkdir moxa
- # cd /moxa
- # cp /mnt/cdrom/<driver directory>/mxser.tgz .
- # tar xvfz mxser.tgz
-
-
- 3.3 Device naming convention
-
- You may find all the driver and utilities files in /moxa/mxser.
- Following installation procedure depends on the model you'd like to
- run the driver. If you prefer module driver, please refer to 3.4.
- If static driver is required, please refer to 3.5.
-
- Dialin and callout port
- -----------------------
- This driver remains traditional serial device properties. There are
- two special file name for each serial port. One is dial-in port
- which is named "ttyMxx". For callout port, the naming convention
- is "cumxx".
-
- Device naming when more than 2 boards installed
- -----------------------------------------------
- Naming convention for each Smartio/Industio multiport board is
- pre-defined as below.
-
- Board Num. Dial-in Port Callout port
- 1st board ttyM0 - ttyM7 cum0 - cum7
- 2nd board ttyM8 - ttyM15 cum8 - cum15
- 3rd board ttyM16 - ttyM23 cum16 - cum23
- 4th board ttyM24 - ttym31 cum24 - cum31
-
-
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Under Kernel 2.6 the cum Device is Obsolete. So use ttyM*
- device instead.
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- Board sequence
- --------------
- This driver will activate ISA boards according to the parameter set
- in the driver. After all specified ISA board activated, PCI board
- will be installed in the system automatically driven.
- Therefore the board number is sorted by the CAP address of ISA boards.
- For PCI boards, their sequence will be after ISA boards and C168H/PCI
- has higher priority than C104H/PCI boards.
-
- 3.4 Module driver configuration
- Module driver is easiest way to install. If you prefer static driver
- installation, please skip this paragraph.
-
-
- ------------- Prepare to use the MOXA driver--------------------
- 3.4.1 Create tty device with correct major number
- Before using MOXA driver, your system must have the tty devices
- which are created with driver's major number. We offer one shell
- script "msmknod" to simplify the procedure.
- This step is only needed to be executed once. But you still
- need to do this procedure when:
- a. You change the driver's major number. Please refer the "3.7"
- section.
- b. Your total installed MOXA boards number is changed. Maybe you
- add/delete one MOXA board.
- c. You want to change the tty name. This needs to modify the
- shell script "msmknod"
-
- The procedure is:
- # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
- # ./msmknod
-
- This shell script will require the major number for dial-in
- device and callout device to create tty device. You also need
- to specify the total installed MOXA board number. Default major
- numbers for dial-in device and callout device are 30, 35. If
- you need to change to other number, please refer section "3.7"
- for more detailed procedure.
- Msmknod will delete any special files occupying the same device
- naming.
-
- 3.4.2 Build the MOXA driver and utilities
- Before using the MOXA driver and utilities, you need compile the
- all the source code. This step is only need to be executed once.
- But you still re-compile the source code if you modify the source
- code. For example, if you change the driver's major number (see
- "3.7" section), then you need to do this step again.
-
- Find "Makefile" in /moxa/mxser, then run
-
- # make clean; make install
-
- !!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- For Red Hat 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS3/ES3/WS3 & Fedora Core1:
- # make clean; make installsp1
-
- For Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS4/ES4/WS4:
- # make clean; make installsp2
- !!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- The driver files "mxser.o" and utilities will be properly compiled
- and copied to system directories respectively.
-
- ------------- Load MOXA driver--------------------
- 3.4.3 Load the MOXA driver
-
- # modprobe mxser <argument>
-
- will activate the module driver. You may run "lsmod" to check
- if "mxser" is activated. If the MOXA board is ISA board, the
- <argument> is needed. Please refer to section "3.4.5" for more
- information.
-
-
- ------------- Load MOXA driver on boot --------------------
- 3.4.4 For the above description, you may manually execute
- "modprobe mxser" to activate this driver and run
- "rmmod mxser" to remove it.
- However, it's better to have a boot time configuration to
- eliminate manual operation. Boot time configuration can be
- achieved by rc file. We offer one "rc.mxser" file to simplify
- the procedure under "moxa/mxser/driver".
-
- But if you use ISA board, please modify the "modprobe ..." command
- to add the argument (see "3.4.5" section). After modifying the
- rc.mxser, please try to execute "/moxa/mxser/driver/rc.mxser"
- manually to make sure the modification is ok. If any error
- encountered, please try to modify again. If the modification is
- completed, follow the below step.
-
- Run following command for setting rc files.
-
- # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
- # cp ./rc.mxser /etc/rc.d
- # cd /etc/rc.d
-
- Check "rc.serial" is existed or not. If "rc.serial" doesn't exist,
- create it by vi, run "chmod 755 rc.serial" to change the permission.
- Add "/etc/rc.d/rc.mxser" in last line,
-
- Reboot and check if moxa.o activated by "lsmod" command.
-
- 3.4.5. If you'd like to drive Smartio/Industio ISA boards in the system,
- you'll have to add parameter to specify CAP address of given
- board while activating "mxser.o". The format for parameters are
- as follows.
-
- modprobe mxser ioaddr=0x???,0x???,0x???,0x???
- | | | |
- | | | +- 4th ISA board
- | | +------ 3rd ISA board
- | +------------ 2nd ISA board
- +------------------- 1st ISA board
-
- 3.5 Static driver configuration for Linux kernel 2.4.x and 2.6.x
-
- Note: To use static driver, you must install the linux kernel
- source package.
-
- 3.5.1 Backup the built-in driver in the kernel.
- # cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/char
- # mv mxser.c mxser.c.old
-
- For Red Hat 7.x user, you need to create link:
- # cd /usr/src
- # ln -s linux-2.4 linux
-
- 3.5.2 Create link
- # cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/char
- # ln -s /moxa/mxser/driver/mxser.c mxser.c
-
- 3.5.3 Add CAP address list for ISA boards. For PCI boards user,
- please skip this step.
-
- In module mode, the CAP address for ISA board is given by
- parameter. In static driver configuration, you'll have to
- assign it within driver's source code. If you will not
- install any ISA boards, you may skip to next portion.
- The instructions to modify driver source code are as
- below.
- a. # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
- # vi mxser.c
- b. Find the array mxserBoardCAP[] as below.
-
- static int mxserBoardCAP[]
- = {0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};
-
- c. Change the address within this array using vi. For
- example, to driver 2 ISA boards with CAP address
- 0x280 and 0x180 as 1st and 2nd board. Just to change
- the source code as follows.
-
- static int mxserBoardCAP[]
- = {0x280, 0x180, 0x00, 0x00};
-
- 3.5.4 Setup kernel configuration
-
- Configure the kernel:
-
- # cd /usr/src/linux
- # make menuconfig
-
- You will go into a menu-driven system. Please select [Character
- devices][Non-standard serial port support], enable the [Moxa
- SmartIO support] driver with "[*]" for built-in (not "[M]"), then
- select [Exit] to exit this program.
-
- 3.5.5 Rebuild kernel
- The following are for Linux kernel rebuilding, for your
- reference only.
- For appropriate details, please refer to the Linux document.
-
- a. cd /usr/src/linux
- b. make clean /* take a few minutes */
- c. make dep /* take a few minutes */
- d. make bzImage /* take probably 10-20 minutes */
- e. make install /* copy boot image to correct position */
- f. Please make sure the boot kernel (vmlinuz) is in the
- correct position.
- g. If you use 'lilo' utility, you should check /etc/lilo.conf
- 'image' item specified the path which is the 'vmlinuz' path,
- or you will load wrong (or old) boot kernel image (vmlinuz).
- After checking /etc/lilo.conf, please run "lilo".
-
- Note that if the result of "make bzImage" is ERROR, then you have to
- go back to Linux configuration Setup. Type "make menuconfig" in
- directory /usr/src/linux.
-
-
- 3.5.6 Make tty device and special file
- # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
- # ./msmknod
-
- 3.5.7 Make utility
- # cd /moxa/mxser/utility
- # make clean; make install
-
- 3.5.8 Reboot
-
-
-
- 3.6 Custom configuration
- Although this driver already provides you default configuration, you
- still can change the device name and major number. The instruction to
- change these parameters are shown as below.
-
- Change Device name
- ------------------
- If you'd like to use other device names instead of default naming
- convention, all you have to do is to modify the internal code
- within the shell script "msmknod". First, you have to open "msmknod"
- by vi. Locate each line contains "ttyM" and "cum" and change them
- to the device name you desired. "msmknod" creates the device names
- you need next time executed.
-
- Change Major number
- -------------------
- If major number 30 and 35 had been occupied, you may have to select
- 2 free major numbers for this driver. There are 3 steps to change
- major numbers.
-
- 3.6.1 Find free major numbers
- In /proc/devices, you may find all the major numbers occupied
- in the system. Please select 2 major numbers that are available.
- e.g. 40, 45.
- 3.6.2 Create special files
- Run /moxa/mxser/driver/msmknod to create special files with
- specified major numbers.
- 3.6.3 Modify driver with new major number

-4. Utilities
- There are 3 utilities contained in this driver. They are msdiag, msmon and
- msterm. These 3 utilities are released in form of source code. They should
- be compiled into executable file and copied into /usr/bin.
-
- Before using these utilities, please load driver (refer 3.4 & 3.5) and
- make sure you had run the "msmknod" utility.
-
- msdiag - Diagnostic
- --------------------
- This utility provides the function to display what Moxa Smartio/Industio
- board found by driver in the system.
-
- msmon - Port Monitoring
- -----------------------
- This utility gives the user a quick view about all the MOXA ports'
- activities. One can easily learn each port's total received/transmitted
- (Rx/Tx) character count since the time when the monitoring is started.
- Rx/Tx throughputs per second are also reported in interval basis (e.g.
- the last 5 seconds) and in average basis (since the time the monitoring
- is started). You can reset all ports' count by <HOME> key. <+> <->
- (plus/minus) keys to change the displaying time interval. Press <ENTER>
- on the port, that cursor stay, to view the port's communication
- parameters, signal status, and input/output queue.
-
- msterm - Terminal Emulation
- ---------------------------
- This utility provides data sending and receiving ability of all tty ports,
- especially for MOXA ports. It is quite useful for testing simple
- application, for example, sending AT command to a modem connected to the
- port or used as a terminal for login purpose. Note that this is only a
- dumb terminal emulation without handling full screen operation.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-5. Setserial
-
- Supported Setserial parameters are listed as below.
-
- uart set UART type(16450-->disable FIFO, 16550A-->enable FIFO)

+
+ All the drivers and utilities are published in form of source code under
+ GNU General Public License in this version. Please refer to GNU General
+ Public License announcement in each source code file for more detail.
+
+ In Moxa's Web sites, you may always find latest driver at http://www.moxa.com/.
+
+ This version of driver can be installed as Loadable Module (Module driver)
+ or built-in into kernel (Static driver). You may refer to following
+ installation procedure for suitable one. Before you install the driver,
+ please refer to hardware installation procedure in the User's Manual.
+
+ We assume the user should be familiar with following documents.
+
+ - Serial-HOWTO
+ - Kernel-HOWTO
+
+2. System Requirement
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ - Hardware platform: Intel x86 machine
+ - Kernel version: 2.4.x or 2.6.x
+ - gcc version 2.72 or later
+ - Maximum 4 boards can be installed in combination
+
+3. Installation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+3.1 Hardware installation
+=========================
+
+ There are two types of buses, ISA and PCI, for Smartio/Industio
+ family multiport board.
+
+ISA board
+---------
+
+ You'll have to configure CAP address, I/O address, Interrupt Vector
+ as well as IRQ before installing this driver. Please refer to hardware
+ installation procedure in User's Manual before proceed any further.
+ Please make sure the JP1 is open after the ISA board is set properly.
+
+PCI/UPCI board
+--------------
+
+ You may need to adjust IRQ usage in BIOS to avoid from IRQ conflict
+ with other ISA devices. Please refer to hardware installation
+ procedure in User's Manual in advance.
+
+PCI IRQ Sharing
+---------------
+
+ Each port within the same multiport board shares the same IRQ. Up to
+ 4 Moxa Smartio/Industio PCI Family multiport boards can be installed
+ together on one system and they can share the same IRQ.
+
+
+3.2 Driver files
+================
+
+ The driver file may be obtained from ftp, CD-ROM or floppy disk. The
+ first step, anyway, is to copy driver file "mxser.tgz" into specified
+ directory. e.g. /moxa. The execute commands as below::
+
+ # cd /
+ # mkdir moxa
+ # cd /moxa
+ # tar xvf /dev/fd0
+
+or::
+
+ # cd /
+ # mkdir moxa
+ # cd /moxa
+ # cp /mnt/cdrom/<driver directory>/mxser.tgz .
+ # tar xvfz mxser.tgz
+
+
+3.3 Device naming convention
+============================
+
+ You may find all the driver and utilities files in /moxa/mxser.
+ Following installation procedure depends on the model you'd like to
+ run the driver. If you prefer module driver, please refer to 3.4.
+ If static driver is required, please refer to 3.5.
+
+Dialin and callout port
+-----------------------
+
+ This driver remains traditional serial device properties. There are
+ two special file name for each serial port. One is dial-in port
+ which is named "ttyMxx". For callout port, the naming convention
+ is "cumxx".
+
+Device naming when more than 2 boards installed
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+ Naming convention for each Smartio/Industio multiport board is
+ pre-defined as below.
+
+ ============ =============== ==============
+ Board Num. Dial-in Port Callout port
+ 1st board ttyM0 - ttyM7 cum0 - cum7
+ 2nd board ttyM8 - ttyM15 cum8 - cum15
+ 3rd board ttyM16 - ttyM23 cum16 - cum23
+ 4th board ttyM24 - ttym31 cum24 - cum31
+ ============ =============== ==============
+
+.. note::
+
+ Under Kernel 2.6 and upper, the cum Device is Obsolete. So use ttyM*
+ device instead.
+
+Board sequence
+--------------
+
+ This driver will activate ISA boards according to the parameter set
+ in the driver. After all specified ISA board activated, PCI board
+ will be installed in the system automatically driven.
+ Therefore the board number is sorted by the CAP address of ISA boards.
+ For PCI boards, their sequence will be after ISA boards and C168H/PCI
+ has higher priority than C104H/PCI boards.
+
+3.4 Module driver configuration
+===============================
+
+ Module driver is easiest way to install. If you prefer static driver
+ installation, please skip this paragraph.
+
+
+ ------------- Prepare to use the MOXA driver --------------------
+
+3.4.1 Create tty device with correct major number
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+ Before using MOXA driver, your system must have the tty devices
+ which are created with driver's major number. We offer one shell
+ script "msmknod" to simplify the procedure.
+ This step is only needed to be executed once. But you still
+ need to do this procedure when:
+
+ a. You change the driver's major number. Please refer the "3.7"
+ section.
+ b. Your total installed MOXA boards number is changed. Maybe you
+ add/delete one MOXA board.
+ c. You want to change the tty name. This needs to modify the
+ shell script "msmknod"
+
+ The procedure is::
+
+ # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
+ # ./msmknod
+
+ This shell script will require the major number for dial-in
+ device and callout device to create tty device. You also need
+ to specify the total installed MOXA board number. Default major
+ numbers for dial-in device and callout device are 30, 35. If
+ you need to change to other number, please refer section "3.7"
+ for more detailed procedure.
+ Msmknod will delete any special files occupying the same device
+ naming.
+
+3.4.2 Build the MOXA driver and utilities
+-----------------------------------------
+
+ Before using the MOXA driver and utilities, you need compile the
+ all the source code. This step is only need to be executed once.
+ But you still re-compile the source code if you modify the source
+ code. For example, if you change the driver's major number (see
+ "3.7" section), then you need to do this step again.
+
+ Find "Makefile" in /moxa/mxser, then run
+
+ # make clean; make install
+
+ ..note::
+
+ For Red Hat 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS3/ES3/WS3 & Fedora Core1:
+ # make clean; make installsp1
+
+ For Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS4/ES4/WS4:
+ # make clean; make installsp2
+
+ The driver files "mxser.o" and utilities will be properly compiled
+ and copied to system directories respectively.
+
+------------- Load MOXA driver--------------------
+
+3.4.3 Load the MOXA driver
+--------------------------
+
+ ::
+
+ # modprobe mxser <argument>
+
+ will activate the module driver. You may run "lsmod" to check
+ if "mxser" is activated. If the MOXA board is ISA board, the
+ <argument> is needed. Please refer to section "3.4.5" for more
+ information.
+
+------------- Load MOXA driver on boot --------------------
+
+3.4.4 Load the mxser driver
+---------------------------
+
+
+ For the above description, you may manually execute
+ "modprobe mxser" to activate this driver and run
+ "rmmod mxser" to remove it.
+
+ However, it's better to have a boot time configuration to
+ eliminate manual operation. Boot time configuration can be
+ achieved by rc file. We offer one "rc.mxser" file to simplify
+ the procedure under "moxa/mxser/driver".
+
+ But if you use ISA board, please modify the "modprobe ..." command
+ to add the argument (see "3.4.5" section). After modifying the
+ rc.mxser, please try to execute "/moxa/mxser/driver/rc.mxser"
+ manually to make sure the modification is ok. If any error
+ encountered, please try to modify again. If the modification is
+ completed, follow the below step.
+
+ Run following command for setting rc files::
+
+ # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
+ # cp ./rc.mxser /etc/rc.d
+ # cd /etc/rc.d
+
+ Check "rc.serial" is existed or not. If "rc.serial" doesn't exist,
+ create it by vi, run "chmod 755 rc.serial" to change the permission.
+
+ Add "/etc/rc.d/rc.mxser" in last line.
+
+ Reboot and check if moxa.o activated by "lsmod" command.
+
+3.4.5. specify CAP address
+--------------------------
+
+ If you'd like to drive Smartio/Industio ISA boards in the system,
+ you'll have to add parameter to specify CAP address of given
+ board while activating "mxser.o". The format for parameters are
+ as follows.::
+
+ modprobe mxser ioaddr=0x???,0x???,0x???,0x???
+ | | | |
+ | | | +- 4th ISA board
+ | | +------ 3rd ISA board
+ | +------------ 2nd ISA board
+ +-------------------1st ISA board
+
+3.5 Static driver configuration for Linux kernel 2.4.x and 2.6.x
+================================================================
+
+ Note:
+ To use static driver, you must install the linux kernel
+ source package.
+
+3.5.1 Backup the built-in driver in the kernel
+----------------------------------------------
+
+ ::
+
+ # cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/char
+ # mv mxser.c mxser.c.old
+
+ For Red Hat 7.x user, you need to create link:
+ # cd /usr/src
+ # ln -s linux-2.4 linux
+
+3.5.2 Create link
+-----------------
+ ::
+
+ # cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/char
+ # ln -s /moxa/mxser/driver/mxser.c mxser.c
+
+3.5.3 Add CAP address list for ISA boards.
+------------------------------------------
+
+ For PCI boards user, please skip this step.
+
+ In module mode, the CAP address for ISA board is given by
+ parameter. In static driver configuration, you'll have to
+ assign it within driver's source code. If you will not
+ install any ISA boards, you may skip to next portion.
+ The instructions to modify driver source code are as
+ below.
+
+ a. run::
+
+ # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
+ # vi mxser.c
+
+ b. Find the array mxserBoardCAP[] as below::
+
+ static int mxserBoardCAP[] = {0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};
+
+ c. Change the address within this array using vi. For
+ example, to driver 2 ISA boards with CAP address
+ 0x280 and 0x180 as 1st and 2nd board. Just to change
+ the source code as follows::
+
+ static int mxserBoardCAP[] = {0x280, 0x180, 0x00, 0x00};
+
+3.5.4 Setup kernel configuration
+--------------------------------
+
+ Configure the kernel::
+
+ # cd /usr/src/linux
+ # make menuconfig
+
+ You will go into a menu-driven system. Please select [Character
+ devices][Non-standard serial port support], enable the [Moxa
+ SmartIO support] driver with "[*]" for built-in (not "[M]"), then
+ select [Exit] to exit this program.
+
+3.5.5 Rebuild kernel
+--------------------
+
+ The following are for Linux kernel rebuilding, for your
+ reference only.
+
+ For appropriate details, please refer to the Linux document:
+
+ a. Run the following commands::
+
+ cd /usr/src/linux
+ make clean # take a few minutes
+ make dep # take a few minutes
+ make bzImage # take probably 10-20 minutes
+ make install # copy boot image to correct position
+
+ f. Please make sure the boot kernel (vmlinuz) is in the
+ correct position.
+ g. If you use 'lilo' utility, you should check /etc/lilo.conf
+ 'image' item specified the path which is the 'vmlinuz' path,
+ or you will load wrong (or old) boot kernel image (vmlinuz).
+ After checking /etc/lilo.conf, please run "lilo".
+
+ Note that if the result of "make bzImage" is ERROR, then you have to
+ go back to Linux configuration Setup. Type "make menuconfig" in
+ directory /usr/src/linux.
+
+
+3.5.6 Make tty device and special file
+--------------------------------------
+
+ ::
+ # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
+ # ./msmknod
+
+3.5.7 Make utility
+------------------
+
+ ::
+
+ # cd /moxa/mxser/utility
+ # make clean; make install
+
+3.5.8 Reboot
+------------
+
+
+
+3.6 Custom configuration
+========================
+
+ Although this driver already provides you default configuration, you
+ still can change the device name and major number. The instruction to
+ change these parameters are shown as below.
+
+a. Change Device name
+
+ If you'd like to use other device names instead of default naming
+ convention, all you have to do is to modify the internal code
+ within the shell script "msmknod". First, you have to open "msmknod"
+ by vi. Locate each line contains "ttyM" and "cum" and change them
+ to the device name you desired. "msmknod" creates the device names
+ you need next time executed.
+
+b. Change Major number
+
+ If major number 30 and 35 had been occupied, you may have to select
+ 2 free major numbers for this driver. There are 3 steps to change
+ major numbers.
+
+3.6.1 Find free major numbers
+-----------------------------
+
+ In /proc/devices, you may find all the major numbers occupied
+ in the system. Please select 2 major numbers that are available.
+ e.g. 40, 45.
+
+3.6.2 Create special files
+--------------------------
+
+ Run /moxa/mxser/driver/msmknod to create special files with
+ specified major numbers.
+
+3.6.3 Modify driver with new major number
+-----------------------------------------
+
+ Run vi to open /moxa/mxser/driver/mxser.c. Locate the line
+ contains "MXSERMAJOR". Change the content as below::
+
+ #define MXSERMAJOR 40
+ #define MXSERCUMAJOR 45
+
+ 3.6.4 Run "make clean; make install" in /moxa/mxser/driver.
+
+3.7 Verify driver installation
+==============================
+
+ You may refer to /var/log/messages to check the latest status
+ log reported by this driver whenever it's activated.
+
+4. Utilities
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ There are 3 utilities contained in this driver. They are msdiag, msmon and
+ msterm. These 3 utilities are released in form of source code. They should
+ be compiled into executable file and copied into /usr/bin.
+
+ Before using these utilities, please load driver (refer 3.4 & 3.5) and
+ make sure you had run the "msmknod" utility.
+
+msdiag - Diagnostic
+===================
+
+ This utility provides the function to display what Moxa Smartio/Industio
+ board found by driver in the system.
+
+msmon - Port Monitoring
+=======================
+
+ This utility gives the user a quick view about all the MOXA ports'
+ activities. One can easily learn each port's total received/transmitted
+ (Rx/Tx) character count since the time when the monitoring is started.
+
+ Rx/Tx throughputs per second are also reported in interval basis (e.g.
+ the last 5 seconds) and in average basis (since the time the monitoring
+ is started). You can reset all ports' count by <HOME> key. <+> <->
+ (plus/minus) keys to change the displaying time interval. Press <ENTER>
+ on the port, that cursor stay, to view the port's communication
+ parameters, signal status, and input/output queue.
+
+msterm - Terminal Emulation
+===========================
+
+ This utility provides data sending and receiving ability of all tty ports,
+ especially for MOXA ports. It is quite useful for testing simple
+ application, for example, sending AT command to a modem connected to the
+ port or used as a terminal for login purpose. Note that this is only a
+ dumb terminal emulation without handling full screen operation.
+
+5. Setserial
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ Supported Setserial parameters are listed as below.
+
+ ============== =========================================================
+ uart set UART type(16450-->disable FIFO, 16550A-->enable FIFO)

+GSM 0710 tty multiplexor HOWTO
+==============================
+
+This line discipline implements the GSM 07.10 multiplexing protocol
+detailed in the following 3GPP document:
+
+ http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/07_series/07.10/0710-720.zip
+
+This document give some hints on how to use this driver with GPRS and 3G
+modems connected to a physical serial port.
+
+How to use it
+-------------
+1. initialize the modem in 0710 mux mode (usually AT+CMUX= command) through
+ its serial port. Depending on the modem used, you can pass more or less
+ parameters to this command,
+2. switch the serial line to using the n_gsm line discipline by using
+ TIOCSETD ioctl,
+3. configure the mux using GSMIOC_GETCONF / GSMIOC_SETCONF ioctl,
+
+Major parts of the initialization program :
+(a good starting point is util-linux-ng/sys-utils/ldattach.c)::
+
+ #include <linux/gsmmux.h>
+ #define N_GSM0710 21 /* GSM 0710 Mux */
+ #define DEFAULT_SPEED B115200
+ #define SERIAL_PORT /dev/ttyS0
+
+ int ldisc = N_GSM0710;
+ struct gsm_config c;
+ struct termios configuration;
+
+ /* open the serial port connected to the modem */
+ fd = open(SERIAL_PORT, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY);
+
+ /* configure the serial port : speed, flow control ... */
+
+ /* send the AT commands to switch the modem to CMUX mode
+ and check that it's successful (should return OK) */
+ write(fd, "AT+CMUX=0\r", 10);
+
+ /* experience showed that some modems need some time before
+ being able to answer to the first MUX packet so a delay
+ may be needed here in some case */
+ sleep(3);
+
+ /* use n_gsm line discipline */
+ ioctl(fd, TIOCSETD, &ldisc);
+
+ /* get n_gsm configuration */
+ ioctl(fd, GSMIOC_GETCONF, &c);
+ /* we are initiator and need encoding 0 (basic) */
+ c.initiator = 1;
+ c.encapsulation = 0;
+ /* our modem defaults to a maximum size of 127 bytes */
+ c.mru = 127;
+ c.mtu = 127;
+ /* set the new configuration */
+ ioctl(fd, GSMIOC_SETCONF, &c);
+
+ /* and wait for ever to keep the line discipline enabled */
+ daemon(0,0);
+ pause();
+
+4. create the devices corresponding to the "virtual" serial ports (take care,
+ each modem has its configuration and some DLC have dedicated functions,
+ for example GPS), starting with minor 1 (DLC0 is reserved for the management
+ of the mux)::
+
+ MAJOR=`cat /proc/devices |grep gsmtty | awk '{print $1}`
+ for i in `seq 1 4`; do
+ mknod /dev/ttygsm$i c $MAJOR $i
+ done
+
+5. use these devices as plain serial ports.
+
+ for example, it's possible:
+
+ - and to use gnokii to send / receive SMS on ttygsm1
+ - to use ppp to establish a datalink on ttygsm2
+
+6. first close all virtual ports before closing the physical port.
+
+ Note that after closing the physical port the modem is still in multiplexing
+ mode. This may prevent a successful re-opening of the port later. To avoid
+ this situation either reset the modem if your hardware allows that or send
+ a disconnect command frame manually before initializing the multiplexing mode
+ for the second time. The byte sequence for the disconnect command frame is::
+
+ 0xf9, 0x03, 0xef, 0x03, 0xc3, 0x16, 0xf9.

+=========================================
+The TCM v4 fabric module script generator
+=========================================
+
+Greetings all,
+
+This document is intended to be a mini-HOWTO for using the tcm_mod_builder.py
+script to generate a brand new functional TCM v4 fabric .ko module of your very own,
+that once built can be immediately be loaded to start access the new TCM/ConfigFS
+fabric skeleton, by simply using::
+
+ modprobe $TCM_NEW_MOD
+ mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD
+
+This script will create a new drivers/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD/, and will do the following
+
+ 1) Generate new API callers for drivers/target/target_core_fabric_configs.c logic
+ ->make_tpg(), ->drop_tpg(), ->make_wwn(), ->drop_wwn(). These are created
+ into $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_configfs.c
+ 2) Generate basic infrastructure for loading/unloading LKMs and TCM/ConfigFS fabric module
+ using a skeleton struct target_core_fabric_ops API template.
+ 3) Based on user defined T10 Proto_Ident for the new fabric module being built,
+ the TransportID / Initiator and Target WWPN related handlers for
+ SPC-3 persistent reservation are automatically generated in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
+ using drivers/target/target_core_fabric_lib.c logic.
+ 4) NOP API calls for all other Data I/O path and fabric dependent attribute logic
+ in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
+
+tcm_mod_builder.py depends upon the mandatory '-p $PROTO_IDENT' and '-m
+$FABRIC_MOD_name' parameters, and actually running the script looks like::

->>>>>>>>>> The TCM v4 fabric module script generator <<<<<<<<<<
-
-Greetings all,
-
-This document is intended to be a mini-HOWTO for using the tcm_mod_builder.py
-script to generate a brand new functional TCM v4 fabric .ko module of your very own,
-that once built can be immediately be loaded to start access the new TCM/ConfigFS
-fabric skeleton, by simply using:
-
- modprobe $TCM_NEW_MOD
- mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD
-
-This script will create a new drivers/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD/, and will do the following
-
- *) Generate new API callers for drivers/target/target_core_fabric_configs.c logic
- ->make_tpg(), ->drop_tpg(), ->make_wwn(), ->drop_wwn(). These are created
- into $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_configfs.c
- *) Generate basic infrastructure for loading/unloading LKMs and TCM/ConfigFS fabric module
- using a skeleton struct target_core_fabric_ops API template.
- *) Based on user defined T10 Proto_Ident for the new fabric module being built,
- the TransportID / Initiator and Target WWPN related handlers for
- SPC-3 persistent reservation are automatically generated in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
- using drivers/target/target_core_fabric_lib.c logic.
- *) NOP API calls for all other Data I/O path and fabric dependent attribute logic
- in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
-
-tcm_mod_builder.py depends upon the mandatory '-p $PROTO_IDENT' and '-m
-$FABRIC_MOD_name' parameters, and actually running the script looks like:

+Device Naming scheme
+------------------------
+The devices that appear on the "coresight" bus were named the same as their
+parent devices, i.e, the real devices that appears on AMBA bus or the platform bus.
+Thus the names were based on the Linux Open Firmware layer naming convention,
+which follows the base physical address of the device followed by the device
+type. e.g:
+
+root:~# ls /sys/bus/coresight/devices/
+ 20010000.etf 20040000.funnel 20100000.stm 22040000.etm

+ 23040000.etm 23140000.etm 23340000.etm
+
+However, with the introduction of ACPI support, the names of the real
+devices are a bit cryptic and non-obvious. Thus, a new naming scheme was
+introduced to use more generic names based on the type of the device. The
+following rules apply:
+
+ 1) Devices that are bound to CPUs, are named based on the CPU logical
+ number.
+
+ e.g, ETM bound to CPU0 is named "etm0"
+
+ 2) All other devices follow a pattern, "<device_type_prefix>N", where :
+
+ <device_type_prefix> - A prefix specific to the type of the device
+ N - a sequential number assigned based on the order
+ of probing.
+
+ e.g, tmc_etf0, tmc_etr0, funnel0, funnel1
+
+Thus, with the new scheme the devices could appear as :
+
+root:~# ls /sys/bus/coresight/devices/
+ etm0 etm1 etm2 etm3 etm4 etm5 funnel0
+ funnel1 funnel2 replicator0 stm0 tmc_etf0 tmc_etr0 tpiu0

For some error conditions encountered when invoking a hist trigger

+Translation's purpose is to ease reading and understanding in languages other
+than English. Its aim is to help people who do not understand English or have
+doubts about its interpretation. Additionally, some people prefer to read
+documentation in their native language, but please bear in mind that the
+*only* official documentation is the English one: :ref:`linux_doc`.
+
+It is very unlikely that an update to :ref:`linux_doc` will be propagated
+immediately to all translations. Translations' maintainers - and
+contributors - follow the evolution of the official documentation and they
+maintain translations aligned as much as they can. For this reason there is
+no guarantee that a translation is up to date. If what you read in a
+translation does not sound right compared to what you read in the code, please
+inform the translation maintainer and - if you can - check also the English
+documentation.
+
+A translation is not a fork of the official documentation, therefore
+translations' users should not find information that differs from the official
+English documentation. Any content addition, removal or update, must be
+applied to the English documents first. Afterwards and when possible, the
+same change should be applied to translations. Translations' maintainers
+accept only contributions that are merely translation related (e.g. new
+translations, updates, fixes).
+
+Translations try to be as accurate as possible but it is not possible to map
+one language directly to all other languages. Each language has its own
+grammar and culture, so the translation of an English statement may need to be
+adapted to fit a different language. For this reason, when viewing
+translations, you may find slight differences that carry the same message but
+in a different form.
+
+If you need to communicate with the Linux community but you do not feel
+comfortable writing in English, you can ask the translation's maintainers
+for help.

+L'obiettivo di questa traduzione è di rendere più facile la lettura e
+la comprensione per chi non capisce l'inglese o ha dubbi sulla sua
+interpretazione, oppure semplicemente per chi preferisce leggere in lingua
+italiana. Tuttavia, tenete ben presente che l'*unica* documentazione
+ufficiale è quella in lingua inglese: :ref:`linux_doc`
+
+La propagazione simultanea a tutte le traduzioni di una modifica in
+:ref:`linux_doc` è altamente improbabile. I manutentori delle traduzioni -
+e i contributori - seguono l'evolversi della documentazione ufficiale e
+cercano di mantenere le rispettive traduzioni allineate nel limite del
+possibile. Per questo motivo non c'è garanzia che una traduzione sia
+aggiornata all'ultima modifica. Se quello che leggete in una traduzione
+non corrisponde a quello che leggete nel codice, informate il manutentore
+della traduzione e - se potete - verificate anche la documentazione in
+inglese.
+
+Una traduzione non è un *fork* della documentazione ufficiale, perciò gli
+utenti non vi troveranno alcuna informazione diversa rispetto alla versione
+ufficiale. Ogni aggiunta, rimozione o modifica dei contenuti deve essere
+fatta prima nei documenti in inglese. In seguito, e quando è possibile, la
+stessa modifica dovrebbe essere applicata anche alle traduzioni. I manutentori
+delle traduzioni accettano contributi che interessano prettamente l'attività
+di traduzione (per esempio, nuove traduzioni, aggiornamenti, correzioni).
+
+Le traduzioni cercano di essere il più possibile accurate ma non è possibile
+mappare direttamente una lingua in un'altra. Ogni lingua ha la sua grammatica
+e una sua cultura alle spalle, quindi la traduzione di una frase in inglese
+potrebbe essere modificata per adattarla all'italiano. Per questo motivo,
+quando leggete questa traduzione, potreste trovare alcune differenze di forma
+ma che trasmettono comunque il messaggio originale. Nonostante la grande
+diffusione di inglesismi nella lingua parlata, quando possibile, questi
+verranno sostituiti dalle corrispettive parole italiane

+==============================================================================
+Interfacce deprecate, caratteristiche del linguaggio, attributi, e convenzioni
+==============================================================================
+
+In un mondo perfetto, sarebbe possibile prendere tutti gli usi di
+un'interfaccia deprecata e convertirli in quella nuova, e così sarebbe
+possibile rimuovere la vecchia interfaccia in un singolo ciclo di sviluppo.
+Tuttavia, per via delle dimensioni del kernel, la gerarchia dei manutentori e
+le tempistiche, non è sempre possibile fare questo tipo di conversione tutta
+in una volta. Questo significa che nuove istanze di una vecchia interfaccia
+potrebbero aggiungersi al kernel proprio quando si sta cercando di rimuoverle,
+aumentando così il carico di lavoro. Al fine di istruire gli sviluppatori su
+cosa è considerato deprecato (e perché), è stata create la seguente lista a cui
+fare riferimento quando qualcuno propone modifiche che usano cose deprecate.
+
+__deprecated
+------------
+Nonostante questo attributo marchi visibilmente un interfaccia come deprecata,
+`non produce più alcun avviso durante la compilazione
+<https://git.kernel.org/linus/771c035372a036f83353eef46dbb829780330234>`_
+perché uno degli obiettivi del kernel è quello di compilare senza avvisi;
+inoltre, nessuno stava agendo per rimuovere queste interfacce. Nonostante l'uso
+di `__deprecated` in un file d'intestazione sia opportuno per segnare una
+interfaccia come 'vecchia', questa non è una soluzione completa. L'interfaccia
+deve essere rimossa dal kernel, o aggiunta a questo documento per scoraggiarne
+l'uso.
+
+Calcoli codificati negli argomenti di un allocatore
+----------------------------------------------------
+Il calcolo dinamico delle dimensioni (specialmente le moltiplicazioni) non
+dovrebbero essere fatto negli argomenti di funzioni di allocazione di memoria
+(o simili) per via del rischio di overflow. Questo può portare a valori più
+piccoli di quelli che il chiamante si aspettava. L'uso di questo modo di
+allocare può portare ad un overflow della memoria di heap e altri
+malfunzionamenti. (Si fa eccezione per valori numerici per i quali il
+compilatore può generare avvisi circa un potenziale overflow. Tuttavia usare
+i valori numerici come suggerito di seguito è innocuo).
+
+Per esempio, non usate ``count * size`` come argomento::
+
+ foo = kmalloc(count * size, GFP_KERNEL);
+
+Al suo posto, si dovrebbe usare l'allocatore a due argomenti::
+
+ foo = kmalloc_array(count, size, GFP_KERNEL);
+
+Se questo tipo di allocatore non è disponibile, allora dovrebbero essere usate
+le funzioni del tipo *saturate-on-overflow*::
+
+ bar = vmalloc(array_size(count, size));
+
+Un altro tipico caso da evitare è quello di calcolare la dimensione di una
+struttura seguita da un vettore di altre strutture, come nel seguente caso::
+
+ header = kzalloc(sizeof(*header) + count * sizeof(*header->item),
+ GFP_KERNEL);
+
+Invece, usate la seguente funzione::
+
+ header = kzalloc(struct_size(header, item, count), GFP_KERNEL);
+
+Per maggiori dettagli fate riferimento a :c:func:`array_size`,
+:c:func:`array3_size`, e :c:func:`struct_size`, così come la famiglia di
+funzioni :c:func:`check_add_overflow` e :c:func:`check_mul_overflow`.
+
+simple_strtol(), simple_strtoll(), simple_strtoul(), simple_strtoull()
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Le funzioni :c:func:`simple_strtol`, :c:func:`simple_strtoll`,
+:c:func:`simple_strtoul`, e :c:func:`simple_strtoull` ignorano volutamente
+i possibili overflow, e questo può portare il chiamante a generare risultati
+inaspettati. Le rispettive funzioni :c:func:`kstrtol`, :c:func:`kstrtoll`,
+:c:func:`kstrtoul`, e :c:func:`kstrtoull` sono da considerarsi le corrette
+sostitute; tuttavia va notato che queste richiedono che la stringa sia
+terminata con il carattere NUL o quello di nuova riga.
+
+strcpy()
+--------
+La funzione :c:func:`strcpy` non fa controlli agli estremi del buffer
+di destinazione. Questo può portare ad un overflow oltre i limiti del
+buffer e generare svariati tipi di malfunzionamenti. Nonostante l'opzione
+`CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y` e svariate opzioni del compilatore aiutano
+a ridurne il rischio, non c'è alcuna buona ragione per continuare ad usare
+questa funzione. La versione sicura da usare è :c:func:`strscpy`.
+
+strncpy() su stringe terminate con NUL
+--------------------------------------
+L'utilizzo di :c:func:`strncpy` non fornisce alcuna garanzia sul fatto che
+il buffer di destinazione verrà terminato con il carattere NUL. Questo
+potrebbe portare a diversi overflow di lettura o altri malfunzionamenti
+causati, appunto, dalla mancanza del terminatore. Questa estende la
+terminazione nel buffer di destinazione quando la stringa d'origine è più
+corta; questo potrebbe portare ad una penalizzazione delle prestazioni per
+chi usa solo stringe terminate. La versione sicura da usare è
+:c:func:`strscpy`. (chi usa :c:func:`strscpy` e necessita di estendere la
+terminazione con NUL deve aggiungere una chiamata a :c:func:`memset`)
+
+Se il chiamate no usa stringhe terminate con NUL, allore :c:func:`strncpy()`
+può continuare ad essere usata, ma i buffer di destinazione devono essere
+marchiati con l'attributo `__nonstring <https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html>`_
+per evitare avvisi durante la compilazione.
+
+strlcpy()
+---------
+La funzione :c:func:`strlcpy`, per prima cosa, legge interamente il buffer di
+origine, magari leggendo più di quanto verrà effettivamente copiato. Questo
+è inefficiente e può portare a overflow di lettura quando la stringa non è
+terminata con NUL. La versione sicura da usare è :c:func:`strscpy`.
+
+Vettori a dimensione variabile (VLA)
+------------------------------------
+
+Usare VLA sullo stack produce codice molto peggiore rispetto a quando si usano
+vettori a dimensione fissa. Questi `problemi di prestazioni <https://git.kernel.org/linus/02361bc77888>`_,
+tutt'altro che banali, sono già un motivo valido per eliminare i VLA; in
+aggiunta sono anche un problema per la sicurezza. La crescita dinamica di un
+vettore nello stack potrebbe eccedere la memoria rimanente in tale segmento.
+Questo può portare a dei malfunzionamenti, potrebbe sovrascrivere
+dati importanti alla fine dello stack (quando il kernel è compilato senza
+`CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y`), o sovrascrivere un pezzo di memoria adiacente
+allo stack (quando il kernel è compilato senza `CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y`).

Applicazione della licenza sul kernel Linux
===========================================
-.. warning::
+Come sviluppatori del kernel Linux, abbiamo un certo interessa su come il
+nostro software viene usato e su come la sua licenza viene fatta rispettare.
+Il rispetto reciproco degli obblighi di condivisione della GPL-2.0 è
+fondamentale per la sostenibilità di lungo periodo del nostro software e
+della nostra comunità.
+
+Benché ognuno abbia il diritto a far rispettare il diritto d'autore per i
+propri contributi alla nostra comunità, condividiamo l'interesse a far si che
+ogni azione individuale nel far rispettare i propri diritti sia condotta in
+modo da portare beneficio alla comunità e che non abbia, involontariamente,
+impatti negativi sulla salute e la crescita del nostro ecosistema software.
+Al fine di scoraggiare l'esecuzione di azioni inutili, concordiamo che è nel
+migliore interesse della nostra comunità di sviluppo di impegnarci nel
+rispettare i seguenti obblighi nei confronti degli utenti del kernel Linux
+per conto nostro e di qualsiasi successore ai nostri interessi sul diritto
+d'autore:
+
+ Malgrado le clausole di risoluzione della licenza GPL-2.0, abbiamo
+ concordato che è nel migliore interesse della nostra comunità di sviluppo
+ adottare le seguenti disposizioni della GPL-3.0 come permessi aggiuntivi
+ alla nostra licenza nei confronti di qualsiasi affermazione non difensiva
+ di diritti sulla licenza.
+
+ In ogni caso, se cessano tutte le violazioni di questa Licenza, allora
+ la tua licenza da parte di un dato detentore del copyright viene
+ ripristinata (a) in via cautelativa, a meno che e fino a quando il
+ detentore del copyright non cessa esplicitamente e definitivamente
+ la tua licenza, e (b) in via permanente se il detentore del copyright
+ non ti notifica in alcun modo la violazione entro 60 giorni dalla
+ cessazione della licenza.
+
+ Inoltre, la tua licenza da parte di un dato detentore del copyright
+ viene ripristinata in maniera permanente se il detentore del copyright
+ ti notifica la violazione in maniera adeguata, se questa è la prima
+ volta che ricevi una notifica di violazione di questa Licenza (per
+ qualunque Programma) dallo stesso detentore di copyright, e se rimedi
+ alla violazione entro 30 giorni dalla data di ricezione della notifica
+ di violazione.
+
+Fornendo queste garanzie, abbiamo l'intenzione di incoraggiare l'uso del
+software. Vogliamo che le aziende e le persone usino, modifichino e
+distribuiscano a questo software. Vogliamo lavorare con gli utenti in modo
+aperto e trasparente per eliminare ogni incertezza circa le nostre aspettative
+sul rispetto o l'ottemperanza alla licenza che possa limitare l'uso del nostro
+software. Vediamo l'azione legale come ultima spiaggia, da avviare solo quando
+gli altri sforzi della comunità hanno fallito nel risolvere il problema.
+
+Per finire, una volta che un problema di non rispetto della licenza viene
+risolto, speriamo che gli utenti si sentano i benvenuti ad aggregarsi a noi
+nello sviluppo di questo progetto. Lavorando assieme, saremo più forti.
+
+Ad eccezione deve specificato, parliamo per noi stessi, e non per una qualsiasi
+azienda per la quale lavoriamo oggi, o per cui abbiamo lavorato in passato, o
+lavoreremo in futuro.

+
+Regole per licenziare il kernel Linux
+=====================================
+
+Il kernel Linux viene rilasciato sotto i termini definiti dalla seconda
+versione della licenza *GNU General Public License* (GPL-2.0), di cui una
+copia è disponibile nel file LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0; a questo si
+aggiunge eccezione per le chiamate di sistema come descritto in
+LICENSES/exceptions/Linux-syscall-note; tutto ciò è descritto nel file COPYING.
+
+Questo documento fornisce una descrizione su come ogni singolo file sorgente
+debba essere licenziato per far si che sia chiaro e non ambiguo. Questo non
+sostituisce la licenza del kernel.
+
+La licenza descritta nel file COPYING si applica ai sorgenti del kernel nella
+loro interezza, quindi i singoli file sorgenti possono avere diverse licenze ma
+devono essere compatibili con la GPL-2.0::
+
+ GPL-1.0+ : GNU General Public License v1.0 o successiva
+ GPL-2.0+ : GNU General Public License v2.0 o successiva
+ LGPL-2.0 : GNU Library General Public License v2
+ LGPL-2.0+ : GNU Library General Public License v2 o successiva
+ LGPL-2.1 : GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1
+ LGPL-2.1+ : GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 o successiva
+
+A parte questo, i singolo file possono essere forniti con una doppia licenza,
+per esempio con una delle varianti compatibili della GPL e alternativamente con
+una licenza permissiva come BSD, MIT eccetera.
+
+I file d'intestazione per l'API verso lo spazio utente (UAPI) descrivono
+le interfacce usate dai programmi, e per questo sono un caso speciale.
+Secondo le note nel file COPYING, le chiamate di sistema sono un chiaro
+confine oltre il quale non si estendono i requisiti della GPL per quei
+programmi che le usano per comunicare con il kernel. Dato che i file
+d'intestazione UAPI devono poter essere inclusi nei sorgenti di un
+qualsiasi programma eseguibile sul kernel Linux, questi meritano
+un'eccezione documentata da una clausola speciale.
+
+Il modo più comune per indicare la licenza dei file sorgenti è quello di
+aggiungere il corrispondente blocco di testo come commento in testa a detto
+file. Per via della formattazione, dei refusi, eccetera, questi blocchi di
+testo sono difficili da identificare dagli strumenti usati per verificare il
+rispetto delle licenze.
+
+Un'alternativa ai blocchi di testo è data dall'uso degli identificatori
+*Software Package Data Exchange* (SPDX) in ogni file sorgente. Gli
+identificatori di licenza SPDX sono analizzabili dalle macchine e sono precisi
+simboli stenografici che identificano la licenza sotto la quale viene
+licenziato il file che lo include. Gli identificatori di licenza SPDX sono
+gestiti del gruppo di lavoro SPDX presso la Linux Foundation e sono stati
+concordati fra i soci nell'industria, gli sviluppatori di strumenti, e i
+rispettivi gruppi legali. Per maggiori informazioni, consultate
+https://spdx.org/
+
+Il kernel Linux richiede un preciso identificatore SPDX in tutti i file
+sorgenti. Gli identificatori validi verranno spiegati nella sezione
+`Identificatori di licenza`_ e sono stati copiati dalla lista ufficiale di
+licenze SPDX assieme al rispettivo testo come mostrato in
+https://spdx.org/licenses/.
+
+Sintassi degli identificatori di licenza
+----------------------------------------
+
+1. Posizionamento:
+
+ L'identificativo di licenza SPDX dev'essere posizionato come prima riga
+ possibile di un file che possa contenere commenti. Per la maggior parte
+ dei file questa è la prima riga, fanno eccezione gli script che richiedono
+ come prima riga '#!PATH_TO_INTERPRETER'. Per questi script l'identificativo
+ SPDX finisce nella seconda riga.
+
+|
+
+2. Stile:
+
+ L'identificativo di licenza SPDX viene aggiunto sotto forma di commento.
+ Lo stile del commento dipende dal tipo di file::
+
+ sorgenti C: // SPDX-License-Identifier: <SPDX License Expression>
+ intestazioni C: /* SPDX-License-Identifier: <SPDX License Expression> */
+ ASM: /* SPDX-License-Identifier: <SPDX License Expression> */
+ scripts: # SPDX-License-Identifier: <SPDX License Expression>
+ .rst: .. SPDX-License-Identifier: <SPDX License Expression>
+ .dts{i}: // SPDX-License-Identifier: <SPDX License Expression>
+
+ Se un particolare programma non dovesse riuscire a gestire lo stile
+ principale per i commenti, allora dev'essere usato il meccanismo accettato
+ dal programma. Questo è il motivo per cui si ha "/\* \*/" nei file
+ d'intestazione C. Notammo che 'ld' falliva nell'analizzare i commenti del
+ C++ nei file .lds che venivano prodotti. Oggi questo è stato corretto,
+ ma ci sono in giro ancora vecchi programmi che non sono in grado di
+ gestire lo stile dei commenti del C++.
+
+|
+
+3. Sintassi:
+
+ Una <espressione di licenza SPDX> può essere scritta usando l'identificatore
+ SPDX della licenza come indicato nella lista di licenze SPDX, oppure la
+ combinazione di due identificatori SPDX separati da "WITH" per i casi
+ eccezionali. Quando si usano più licenze l'espressione viene formata da
+ sottoespressioni separate dalle parole chiave "AND", "OR" e racchiuse fra
+ parentesi tonde "(", ")".
+
+ Gli identificativi di licenza per licenze come la [L]GPL che si avvalgono
+ dell'opzione 'o successive' si formano aggiungendo alla fine il simbolo "+"
+ per indicare l'opzione 'o successive'.::
+
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1+
+
+ WITH dovrebbe essere usato quando sono necessarie delle modifiche alla
+ licenza. Per esempio, la UAPI del kernel linux usa l'espressione::
+
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note
+
+ Altri esempi di usi di WITH all'interno del kernel sono::
+
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH mif-exception
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ WITH GCC-exception-2.0
+
+ Le eccezioni si possono usare solo in combinazione con identificatori di
+ licenza. Gli identificatori di licenza riconosciuti sono elencati nei
+ corrispondenti file d'eccezione. Per maggiori dettagli consultate
+ `Eccezioni`_ nel capitolo `Identificatori di licenza`_
+
+ La parola chiave OR dovrebbe essere usata solo quando si usa una doppia
+ licenza e solo una dev'essere scelta. Per esempio, alcuni file dtsi sono
+ disponibili con doppia licenza::
+
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 OR BSD-3-Clause
+
+ Esempi dal kernel di espressioni per file licenziati con doppia licenza
+ sono::
+
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 OR MIT
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 OR BSD-2-Clause
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 OR Apache-2.0
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 OR MPL-1.1
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-1.0+ OR BSD-3-Clause OR OpenSSL
+
+ La parola chiave AND dovrebbe essere usata quando i termini di più licenze
+ si applicano ad un file. Per esempio, quando il codice viene preso da
+ un altro progetto il quale da i permessi per aggiungerlo nel kernel ma
+ richiede che i termini originali della licenza rimangano intatti::
+
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT
+
+ Di seguito, un altro esempio dove entrambe i termini di licenza devono
+ essere rispettati::
+
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-1.0+ AND LGPL-2.1+
+
+Identificatori di licenza
+-------------------------
+
+Le licenze attualmente in uso, così come le licenze aggiunte al kernel, possono
+essere categorizzate in:
+
+1. _`Licenze raccomandate`:
+
+ Ovunque possibile le licenze qui indicate dovrebbero essere usate perché
+ pienamente compatibili e molto usate. Queste licenze sono disponibile nei
+ sorgenti del kernel, nella cartella::
+
+ LICENSES/preferred/
+
+ I file in questa cartella contengono il testo completo della licenza e i
+ `Metatag`_. Il nome di questi file è lo stesso usato come identificatore
+ di licenza SPDX e che deve essere usato nei file sorgenti.
+
+ Esempi::
+
+ LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0
+
+ Contiene il testo della seconda versione della licenza GPL e i metatag
+ necessari::
+
+ LICENSES/preferred/MIT
+
+ Contiene il testo della licenza MIT e i metatag necessari.
+
+ _`Metatag`:
+
+ I seguenti metatag devono essere presenti in un file di licenza:
+
+ - Valid-License-Identifier:
+
+ Una o più righe che dichiarano quali identificatori di licenza sono validi
+ all'interno del progetto per far riferimento alla licenza in questione.
+ Solitamente, questo è un unico identificatore valido, ma per esempio le
+ licenze che permettono l'opzione 'o successive' hanno due identificatori
+ validi.
+
+ - SPDX-URL:
+
+ L'URL della pagina SPDX che contiene informazioni aggiuntive riguardanti
+ la licenza.
+
+ - Usage-Guidance:
+
+ Testo in formato libero per dare suggerimenti agli utenti. Il testo deve
+ includere degli esempi su come usare gli identificatori di licenza SPDX
+ in un file sorgente in conformità con le linea guida in
+ `Sintassi degli identificatori di licenza`_.
+
+ - License-Text:
+
+ Tutto il testo che compare dopo questa etichetta viene trattato
+ come se fosse parte del testo originale della licenza.
+
+ Esempi::
+
+ Valid-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
+ Valid-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+
+ SPDX-URL: https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0.html
+ Usage-Guide:
+ To use this license in source code, put one of the following SPDX
+ tag/value pairs into a comment according to the placement
+ guidelines in the licensing rules documentation.
+ For 'GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 only' use:
+ SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
+ For 'GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or any later version' use:
+ SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+
+ License-Text:
+ Full license text
+
+ ::
+
+ SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
+ SPDX-URL: https://spdx.org/licenses/MIT.html
+ Usage-Guide:
+ To use this license in source code, put the following SPDX
+ tag/value pair into a comment according to the placement
+ guidelines in the licensing rules documentation.
+ SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
+ License-Text:
+ Full license text
+
+|
+
+2. Licenze deprecate:
+
+ Questo tipo di licenze dovrebbero essere usate solo per codice già esistente
+ o quando si prende codice da altri progetti. Le licenze sono disponibili
+ nei sorgenti del kernel nella cartella::
+
+ LICENSES/deprecated/
+
+ I file in questa cartella contengono il testo completo della licenza e i
+ `Metatag`_. Il nome di questi file è lo stesso usato come identificatore
+ di licenza SPDX e che deve essere usato nei file sorgenti.
+
+ Esempi::
+
+ LICENSES/deprecated/ISC
+
+ Contiene il testo della licenza Internet System Consortium e i suoi
+ metatag::
+
+ LICENSES/deprecated/GPL-1.0
+
+ Contiene il testo della versione 1 della licenza GPL e i suoi metatag.
+
+ Metatag:
+
+ I metatag necessari per le 'altre' ('other') licenze sono gli stessi
+ di usati per le `Licenze raccomandate`_.
+
+ Esempio del formato del file::
+
+ Valid-License-Identifier: ISC
+ SPDX-URL: https://spdx.org/licenses/ISC.html
+ Usage-Guide:
+ Usage of this license in the kernel for new code is discouraged
+ and it should solely be used for importing code from an already
+ existing project.
+ To use this license in source code, put the following SPDX
+ tag/value pair into a comment according to the placement
+ guidelines in the licensing rules documentation.
+ SPDX-License-Identifier: ISC
+ License-Text:
+ Full license text
+
+|
+
+3. Solo per doppie licenze
+
+ Queste licenze dovrebbero essere usate solamente per codice licenziato in
+ combinazione con un'altra licenza che solitamente è quella preferita.
+ Queste licenze sono disponibili nei sorgenti del kernel nella cartella::
+
+ LICENSES/dual
+
+ I file in questa cartella contengono il testo completo della rispettiva
+ licenza e i suoi `Metatag`_. I nomi dei file sono identici agli
+ identificatori di licenza SPDX che dovrebbero essere usati nei file
+ sorgenti.
+
+ Esempi::
+
+ LICENSES/dual/MPL-1.1
+
+ Questo file contiene il testo della versione 1.1 della licenza *Mozilla
+ Pulic License* e i metatag necessari::
+
+ LICENSES/dual/Apache-2.0
+
+ Questo file contiene il testo della versione 2.0 della licenza Apache e i
+ metatag necessari.
+
+ Metatag:
+
+ I requisiti per le 'altre' ('*other*') licenze sono identici a quelli per le
+ `Licenze raccomandate`_.
+
+ Esempio del formato del file::
+
+ Valid-License-Identifier: MPL-1.1
+ SPDX-URL: https://spdx.org/licenses/MPL-1.1.html
+ Usage-Guide:
+ Do NOT use. The MPL-1.1 is not GPL2 compatible. It may only be used for
+ dual-licensed files where the other license is GPL2 compatible.
+ If you end up using this it MUST be used together with a GPL2 compatible
+ license using "OR".
+ To use the Mozilla Public License version 1.1 put the following SPDX
+ tag/value pair into a comment according to the placement guidelines in
+ the licensing rules documentation:
+ SPDX-License-Identifier: MPL-1.1
+ License-Text:
+ Full license text
+
+|
+
+4. _`Eccezioni`:
+
+ Alcune licenze possono essere corrette con delle eccezioni che forniscono
+ diritti aggiuntivi. Queste eccezioni sono disponibili nei sorgenti del
+ kernel nella cartella::
+
+ LICENSES/exceptions/
+
+ I file in questa cartella contengono il testo completo dell'eccezione e i
+ `Metatag per le eccezioni`_.
+
+ Esempi::
+
+ LICENSES/exceptions/Linux-syscall-note
+
+ Contiene la descrizione dell'eccezione per le chiamate di sistema Linux
+ così come documentato nel file COPYING del kernel Linux; questo viene usato
+ per i file d'intestazione per la UAPI. Per esempio
+ /\* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note \*/::
+
+ LICENSES/exceptions/GCC-exception-2.0
+
+ Contiene la 'eccezione di linking' che permette di collegare qualsiasi
+ binario, indipendentemente dalla sua licenza, con un compilato il cui file
+ sorgente è marchiato con questa eccezione. Questo è necessario per creare
+ eseguibili dai sorgenti che non sono compatibili con la GPL.
+
+ _`Metatag per le eccezioni`:
+
+ Un file contenente un'eccezione deve avere i seguenti metatag:
+
+ - SPDX-Exception-Identifier:
+
+ Un identificatore d'eccezione che possa essere usato in combinazione con
+ un identificatore di licenza SPDX.
+
+ - SPDX-URL:
+
+ L'URL della pagina SPDX che contiene informazioni aggiuntive riguardanti
+ l'eccezione.
+
+ - SPDX-Licenses:
+
+ Una lista di licenze SPDX separate da virgola, che possono essere usate
+ con l'eccezione.
+
+ - Usage-Guidance:
+
+ Testo in formato libero per dare suggerimenti agli utenti. Il testo deve
+ includere degli esempi su come usare gli identificatori di licenza SPDX
+ in un file sorgente in conformità con le linea guida in
+ `Sintassi degli identificatori di licenza`_.
+
+ - Exception-Text:
+
+ Tutto il testo che compare dopo questa etichetta viene trattato
+ come se fosse parte del testo originale della licenza.
+
+ Esempi::
+
+ SPDX-Exception-Identifier: Linux-syscall-note
+ SPDX-URL: https://spdx.org/licenses/Linux-syscall-note.html
+ SPDX-Licenses: GPL-2.0, GPL-2.0+, GPL-1.0+, LGPL-2.0, LGPL-2.0+, LGPL-2.1, LGPL-2.1+
+ Usage-Guidance:
+ This exception is used together with one of the above SPDX-Licenses
+ to mark user-space API (uapi) header files so they can be included
+ into non GPL compliant user-space application code.
+ To use this exception add it with the keyword WITH to one of the
+ identifiers in the SPDX-Licenses tag:
+ SPDX-License-Identifier: <SPDX-License> WITH Linux-syscall-note
+ Exception-Text:
+ Full exception text
+
+ ::
+
+ SPDX-Exception-Identifier: GCC-exception-2.0
+ SPDX-URL: https://spdx.org/licenses/GCC-exception-2.0.html
+ SPDX-Licenses: GPL-2.0, GPL-2.0+
+ Usage-Guidance:
+ The "GCC Runtime Library exception 2.0" is used together with one
+ of the above SPDX-Licenses for code imported from the GCC runtime
+ library.
+ To use this exception add it with the keyword WITH to one of the
+ identifiers in the SPDX-Licenses tag:
+ SPDX-License-Identifier: <SPDX-License> WITH GCC-exception-2.0
+ Exception-Text:
+ Full exception text
+
+Per ogni identificatore di licenza SPDX e per le eccezioni dev'esserci un file
+nella sotto-cartella LICENSES. Questo è necessario per permettere agli
+strumenti di effettuare verifiche (come checkpatch.pl), per avere le licenze
+disponibili per la lettura e per estrarre i diritti dai sorgenti, così come
+raccomandato da diverse organizzazioni FOSS, per esempio l'`iniziativa FSFE
+REUSE <https://reuse.software/>`_.
+
+_`MODULE_LICENSE`
+-----------------
+
+ I moduli del kernel necessitano di un'etichetta MODULE_LICENSE(). Questa
+ etichetta non sostituisce le informazioni sulla licenza del codice sorgente
+ (SPDX-License-Identifier) né fornisce informazioni che esprimono o
+ determinano l'esatta licenza sotto la quale viene rilasciato.
+
+ Il solo scopo di questa etichetta è quello di fornire sufficienti
+ informazioni al caricatore di moduli del kernel, o agli strumenti in spazio
+ utente, per capire se il modulo è libero o proprietario.
+
+ Le stringe di licenza valide per MODULE_LICENSE() sono:
+
+ ============================= =============================================
+ "GPL" Il modulo è licenziato con la GPL versione 2.
+ Questo non fa distinzione fra GPL'2.0-only o
+ GPL-2.0-or-later. L'esatta licenza può essere
+ determinata solo leggendo i corrispondenti
+ file sorgenti.
+
+ "GPL v2" Stesso significato di "GPL". Esiste per
+ motivi storici.
+
+ "GPL and additional rights" Questa è una variante che esiste per motivi
+ storici che indica che i sorgenti di un
+ modulo sono rilasciati sotto una variante
+ della licenza GPL v2 e quella MIT. Per favore
+ non utilizzatela per codice nuovo.
+
+ "Dual MIT/GPL" Questo è il modo corretto per esprimere il
+ il fatto che il modulo è rilasciato con
+ doppia licenza a scelta fra: una variante
+ della GPL v2 o la licenza MIT.
+
+ "Dual BSD/GPL" Questo modulo è rilasciato con doppia licenza
+ a scelta fra: una variante della GPL v2 o la
+ licenza BSD. La variante esatta della licenza
+ BSD può essere determinata solo attraverso i
+ corrispondenti file sorgenti.
+
+ "Dual MPL/GPL" Questo modulo è rilasciato con doppia licenza
+ a scelta fra: una variante della GPL v2 o la
+ Mozilla Public License (MPL). La variante
+ esatta della licenza MPL può essere
+ determinata solo attraverso i corrispondenti
+ file sorgenti.
+
+ "Proprietary" Questo modulo è rilasciato con licenza
+ proprietaria. Questa stringa è solo per i
+ moduli proprietari di terze parti e non può
+ essere usata per quelli che risiedono nei
+ sorgenti del kernel. I moduli etichettati in
+ questo modo stanno contaminando il kernel e
+ gli viene assegnato un flag 'P'; quando
+ vengono caricati, il caricatore di moduli del
+ kernel si rifiuterà di collegare questi
+ moduli ai simboli che sono stati esportati
+ con EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

+La guida a PGP per manutentori del kernel
+=========================================
+
+:Author: Konstantin Ryabitsev <konstantin@linuxfoundation.org>
+
+Questo documento è destinato agli sviluppatori del kernel Linux, in particolar
+modo ai manutentori. Contiene degli approfondimenti riguardo informazioni che
+sono state affrontate in maniera più generale nella sezione
+"`Protecting Code Integrity`_" pubblicata dalla Linux Foundation.
+Per approfondire alcuni argomenti trattati in questo documento è consigliato
+leggere il documento sopraindicato
+
+.. _`Protecting Code Integrity`: https://github.com/lfit/itpol/blob/master/protecting-code-integrity.md
+
+Il ruolo di PGP nello sviluppo del kernel Linux
+===============================================
+
+PGP aiuta ad assicurare l'integrità del codice prodotto dalla comunità
+di sviluppo del kernel e, in secondo luogo, stabilisce canali di comunicazione
+affidabili tra sviluppatori attraverso lo scambio di email firmate con PGP.
+
+Il codice sorgente del kernel Linux è disponibile principalmente in due
+formati:
+
+- repositori distribuiti di sorgenti (git)
+- rilasci periodici di istantanee (archivi tar)
+
+Sia i repositori git che gli archivi tar portano le firme PGP degli
+sviluppatori che hanno creato i rilasci ufficiali del kernel. Queste firme
+offrono una garanzia crittografica che le versioni scaricabili rese disponibili
+via kernel.org, o altri portali, siano identiche a quelle che gli sviluppatori
+hanno sul loro posto di lavoro. A tal scopo:
+
+- i repositori git forniscono firme PGP per ogni tag
+- gli archivi tar hanno firme separate per ogni archivio
+
+.. _it_devs_not_infra:
+
+Fidatevi degli sviluppatori e non dell'infrastruttura
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+Fin dal 2011, quando i sistemi di kernel.org furono compromessi, il principio
+generale del progetto Kernel Archives è stato quello di assumere che qualsiasi
+parte dell'infrastruttura possa essere compromessa in ogni momento. Per questa
+ragione, gli amministratori hanno intrapreso deliberatemene dei passi per
+enfatizzare che la fiducia debba risiedere sempre negli sviluppatori e mai nel
+codice che gestisce l'infrastruttura, indipendentemente da quali che siano le
+pratiche di sicurezza messe in atto.
+
+Il principio sopra indicato è la ragione per la quale è necessaria questa
+guida. Vogliamo essere sicuri che il riporre la fiducia negli sviluppatori
+non sia fatto semplicemente per incolpare qualcun'altro per future falle di
+sicurezza. L'obiettivo è quello di fornire una serie di linee guida che gli
+sviluppatori possano seguire per creare un ambiente di lavoro sicuro e
+salvaguardare le chiavi PGP usate nello stabilire l'integrità del kernel Linux
+stesso.

+
+Strumenti PGP
+=============
+
+Usare GnuPG v2
+--------------
+
+La vostra distribuzione potrebbe avere già installato GnuPG, dovete solo
+verificare che stia utilizzando la versione 2.x e non la serie 1.4 --
+molte distribuzioni forniscono entrambe, di base il comando ''gpg''
+invoca GnuPG v.1. Per controllate usate::
+
+ $ gpg --version | head -n1
+
+Se visualizzate ``gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.x``, allora state usando GnuPG v.1.
+Provate il comando ``gpg2`` (se non lo avete, potreste aver bisogno
+di installare il pacchetto gnupg2)::
+
+ $ gpg2 --version | head -n1
+
+Se visualizzate ``gpg (GnuPG) 2.x.x``, allora siete pronti a partire.
+Questa guida assume che abbiate la versione 2.2.(o successiva) di GnuPG.
+Se state usando la versione 2.0, alcuni dei comandi indicati qui non
+funzioneranno, in questo caso considerate un aggiornamento all'ultima versione,
+la 2.2. Versioni di gnupg-2.1.11 e successive dovrebbero essere compatibili
+per gli obiettivi di questa guida.
+
+Se avete entrambi i comandi: ``gpg`` e ``gpg2``, assicuratevi di utilizzare
+sempre la versione V2, e non quella vecchia. Per evitare errori potreste creare
+un alias::
+
+ $ alias gpg=gpg2
+
+Potete mettere questa opzione nel vostro ``.bashrc`` in modo da essere sicuri.
+
+Configurare le opzioni di gpg-agent
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+L'agente GnuPG è uno strumento di aiuto che partirà automaticamente ogni volta
+che userete il comando ``gpg`` e funzionerà in background con l'obiettivo di
+individuare la passphrase. Ci sono due opzioni che dovreste conoscere
+per personalizzare la scadenza della passphrase nella cache:
+
+- ``default-cache-ttl`` (secondi): Se usate ancora la stessa chiave prima
+ che il time-to-live termini, il conto alla rovescia si resetterà per un
+ altro periodo. Di base è di 600 (10 minuti).
+
+- ``max-cache-ttl`` (secondi): indipendentemente da quanto sia recente l'ultimo
+ uso della chiave da quando avete inserito la passphrase, se il massimo
+ time-to-live è scaduto, dovrete reinserire nuovamente la passphrase.
+ Di base è di 30 minuti.
+
+Se ritenete entrambe questi valori di base troppo corti (o troppo lunghi),
+potete creare il vostro file ``~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf`` ed impostare i vostri
+valori::
+
+ # set to 30 minutes for regular ttl, and 2 hours for max ttl
+ default-cache-ttl 1800
+ max-cache-ttl 7200
+
+.. note::
+
+ Non è più necessario far partire l'agente gpg manualmente all'inizio della
+ vostra sessione. Dovreste controllare i file rc per rimuovere tutto ciò che
+ riguarda vecchie le versioni di GnuPG, poiché potrebbero non svolgere più
+ bene il loro compito.
+
+Impostare un *refresh* con cronjob
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Potreste aver bisogno di rinfrescare regolarmente il vostro portachiavi in
+modo aggiornare le chiavi pubbliche di altre persone, lavoro che è svolto
+al meglio con un cronjob giornaliero::
+
+ @daily /usr/bin/gpg2 --refresh >/dev/null 2>&1
+
+Controllate il percorso assoluto del vostro comando ``gpg`` o ``gpg2`` e usate
+il comando ``gpg2`` se per voi ``gpg`` corrisponde alla versione GnuPG v.1.
+
+.. _it_master_key:
+
+Proteggere la vostra chiave PGP primaria
========================================
-Guida a PGP per i manutentori del kernel
-========================================
+
+Questa guida parte dal presupposto che abbiate già una chiave PGP che usate
+per lo sviluppo del kernel Linux. Se non ne avete ancora una, date uno sguardo
+al documento "`Protecting Code Integrity`_" che abbiamo menzionato prima.
+
+Dovreste inoltre creare una nuova chiave se quella attuale è inferiore a 2048
+bit (RSA).
+
+Chiave principale o sottochiavi
+-------------------------------
+
+Le sottochiavi sono chiavi PGP totalmente indipendenti, e sono collegate alla
+chiave principale attraverso firme certificate. È quindi importante
+comprendere i seguenti punti:
+
+1. Non ci sono differenze tecniche tra la chiave principale e la sottochiave.
+2. In fesa di creazione, assegniamo limitazioni funzionali ad ogni chiave
+ assegnando capacità specifiche.
+3. Una chiave PGP può avere 4 capacità:
+
+ - **[S]** può essere usata per firmare
+ - **[E]** può essere usata per criptare
+ - **[A]** può essere usata per autenticare
+ - **[C]** può essere usata per certificare altre chiavi
+
+4. Una singola chiave può avere più capacità
+5. Una sottochiave è completamente indipendente dalla chiave principale.
+ Un messaggio criptato con la sottochiave non può essere decrittato con
+ quella principale. Se perdete la vostra sottochiave privata, non può
+ essere rigenerata in nessun modo da quella principale.
+
+La chiave con capacità **[C]** (certify) è identificata come la chiave
+principale perché è l'unica che può essere usata per indicare la relazione
+con altre chiavi. Solo la chiave **[C]** può essere usata per:
+
+- Aggiungere o revocare altre chiavi (sottochiavi) che hanno capacità S/E/A
+- Aggiungere, modificare o eliminare le identità (unids) associate alla chiave
+- Aggiungere o modificare la data di termine di sé stessa o di ogni sottochiave
+- Firmare le chiavi di altre persone a scopo di creare una rete di fiducia
+
+Di base, alla creazione di nuove chiavi, GnuPG genera quanto segue:
+
+- Una chiave madre che porta sia la capacità di certificazione che quella
+ di firma (**[SC]**)
+- Una sottochiave separata con capacità di criptaggio (**[E]**)
+
+Se avete usato i parametri di base per generare la vostra chiave, quello
+sarà il risultato. Potete verificarlo utilizzando ``gpg --list-secret-keys``,
+per esempio::
+
+ sec rsa2048 2018-01-23 [SC] [expires: 2020-01-23]
+ 000000000000000000000000AAAABBBBCCCCDDDD
+ uid [ultimate] Alice Dev <adev@kernel.org>
+ ssb rsa2048 2018-01-23 [E] [expires: 2020-01-23]
+
+Qualsiasi chiave che abbia la capacità **[C]** è la vostra chiave madre,
+indipendentemente da quali altre capacità potreste averle assegnato.
+
+La lunga riga sotto la voce ``sec`` è la vostra impronta digitale --
+negli esempi che seguono, quando vedere ``[fpr]`` ci si riferisce a questa
+stringa di 40 caratteri.
+
+Assicuratevi che la vostra passphrase sia forte
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+GnuPG utilizza le passphrases per criptare la vostra chiave privata prima
+di salvarla sul disco. In questo modo, anche se il contenuto della vostra
+cartella ``.gnupg`` venisse letto o trafugato nella sia interezza, gli
+attaccanti non potrebbero comunque utilizzare le vostre chiavi private senza
+aver prima ottenuto la passphrase per decriptarle.
+
+È assolutamente essenziale che le vostre chiavi private siano protette da
+una passphrase forte. Per impostarla o cambiarla, usate::
+
+ $ gpg --change-passphrase [fpr]
+
+Create una sottochiave di firma separata
+----------------------------------------
+
+Il nostro obiettivo è di proteggere la chiave primaria spostandola su un
+dispositivo sconnesso dalla rete, dunque se avete solo una chiave combinata
+**[SC]** allora dovreste creare una sottochiave di firma separata::
+
+ $ gpg --quick-add-key [fpr] ed25519 sign
+
+Ricordate di informare il keyserver del vostro cambiamento, cosicché altri
+possano ricevere la vostra nuova sottochiave::
+
+ $ gpg --send-key [fpr]
+
+.. note:: Supporto ECC in GnuPG
+ GnuPG 2.1 e successivi supportano pienamente *Elliptic Curve Cryptography*,
+ con la possibilità di combinare sottochiavi ECC con le tradizionali chiavi
+ primarie RSA. Il principale vantaggio della crittografia ECC è che è molto
+ più veloce da calcolare e crea firme più piccole se confrontate byte per
+ byte con le chiavi RSA a più di 2048 bit. A meno che non pensiate di
+ utilizzare un dispositivo smartcard che non supporta le operazioni ECC, vi
+ raccomandiamo ti creare sottochiavi di firma ECC per il vostro lavoro col
+ kernel.
+
+ Se per qualche ragione preferite rimanere con sottochiavi RSA, nel comando
+ precedente, sostituite "ed25519" con "rsa2048".
+
+Copia di riserva della chiave primaria per gestire il recupero da disastro
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Maggiori sono le firme di altri sviluppatori che vengono applicate alla vostra,
+maggiori saranno i motivi per avere una copia di riserva che non sia digitale,
+al fine di effettuare un recupero da disastro.
+
+Il modo migliore per creare una copia fisica della vostra chiave privata è
+l'uso del programma ``paperkey``. Consultate ``man paperkey`` per maggiori
+dettagli sul formato dell'output ed i suoi punti di forza rispetto ad altre
+soluzioni. Paperkey dovrebbe essere già pacchettizzato per la maggior parte
+delle distribuzioni.
+
+Eseguite il seguente comando per creare una copia fisica di riserva della
+vostra chiave privata::
+
+ $ gpg --export-secret-key [fpr] | paperkey -o /tmp/key-backup.txt
+
+Stampate il file (o fate un pipe direttamente verso lpr), poi prendete
+una penna e scrivete la passphare sul margine del foglio. **Questo è
+caldamente consigliato** perché la copia cartacea è comunque criptata con
+la passphrase, e se mai doveste cambiarla non vi ricorderete qual'era al
+momento della creazione di quella copia -- *garantito*.
+
+Mettete la copia cartacea e la passphrase scritta a mano in una busta e
+mettetela in un posto sicuro e ben protetto, preferibilmente fuori casa,
+magari in una cassetta di sicurezza in banca.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Probabilmente la vostra stampante non è più quello stupido dispositivo
+ connesso alla porta parallela, ma dato che il suo output è comunque
+ criptato con la passphrase, eseguire la stampa in un sistema "cloud"
+ moderno dovrebbe essere comunque relativamente sicuro. Un'opzione potrebbe
+ essere quella di cambiare la passphrase della vostra chiave primaria
+ subito dopo aver finito con paperkey.
+
+Copia di riserva di tutta la cartella GnuPG
+-------------------------------------------
.. warning::
- TODO ancora da tradurre
+ **!!!Non saltate questo passo!!!**
+
+Quando avete bisogno di recuperare le vostre chiavi PGP è importante avere
+una copia di riserva pronta all'uso. Questo sta su un diverso piano di
+prontezza rispetto al recupero da disastro che abbiamo risolto con
+``paperkey``. Vi affiderete a queste copie esterne quando dovreste usare la
+vostra chiave Certify -- ovvero quando fate modifiche alle vostre chiavi o
+firmate le chiavi di altre persone ad una conferenza o ad un gruppo d'incontro.
+
+Incominciate con una piccola chiavetta di memoria USB (preferibilmente due)
+che userete per le copie di riserva. Dovrete criptarle usando LUKS -- fate
+riferimento alla documentazione della vostra distribuzione per capire come
+fare.
+
+Per la passphrase di criptazione, potete usare la stessa della vostra chiave
+primaria.
+
+Una volta che il processo di criptazione è finito, reinserite il disco USB ed
+assicurativi che venga montato correttamente. Copiate interamente la cartella
+``.gnugp`` nel disco criptato::
+
+ $ cp -a ~/.gnupg /media/disk/foo/gnupg-backup
+
+Ora dovreste verificare che tutto continui a funzionare::
+
+ $ gpg --homedir=/media/disk/foo/gnupg-backup --list-key [fpr]
+
+Se non vedete errori, allora dovreste avere fatto tutto con successo.
+Smontate il disco USB, etichettatelo per bene di modo da evitare di
+distruggerne il contenuto non appena vi serve una chiavetta USB a caso, ed
+infine mettetelo in un posto sicuro -- ma non troppo lontano, perché vi servirà
+di tanto in tanto per modificare le identità, aggiungere o revocare
+sottochiavi, o firmare le chiavi di altre persone.
+
+Togliete la chiave primaria dalla vostra home
+---------------------------------------------
+
+I file che si trovano nella vostra cartella home non sono poi così ben protetti
+come potreste pensare. Potrebbero essere letti o trafugati in diversi modi:
+
+- accidentalmente quando fate una rapida copia della cartella home per
+ configurare una nuova postazione
+- da un amministratore di sistema negligente o malintenzionato
+- attraverso copie di riserva insicure
+- attraverso malware installato in alcune applicazioni (browser, lettori PDF,
+ eccetera)
+- attraverso coercizione quando attraversate confini internazionali
+
+Proteggere la vostra chiave con una buona passphare aiuta notevolmente a
+ridurre i rischi elencati qui sopra, ma le passphrase possono essere scoperte
+attraverso i keylogger, il shoulder-surfing, o altri modi. Per questi motivi,
+nella configurazione si raccomanda di rimuove la chiave primaria dalla vostra
+cartella home e la si archivia su un dispositivo disconnesso.
+
+.. warning::
+
+ Per favore, fate riferimento alla sezione precedente e assicuratevi
+ di aver fatto una copia di riserva totale della cartella GnuPG. Quello
+ che stiamo per fare renderà la vostra chiave inutile se non avete delle
+ copie di riserva utilizzabili!
+
+Per prima cosa, identificate il keygrip della vostra chiave primaria::
+
+ $ gpg --with-keygrip --list-key [fpr]
+
+L'output assomiglierà a questo::
+
+ pub rsa2048 2018-01-24 [SC] [expires: 2020-01-24]
+ 000000000000000000000000AAAABBBBCCCCDDDD
+ Keygrip = 1111000000000000000000000000000000000000
+ uid [ultimate] Alice Dev <adev@kernel.org>
+ sub rsa2048 2018-01-24 [E] [expires: 2020-01-24]
+ Keygrip = 2222000000000000000000000000000000000000
+ sub ed25519 2018-01-24 [S]
+ Keygrip = 3333000000000000000000000000000000000000
+
+Trovate la voce keygrid che si trova sotto alla riga ``pub`` (appena sotto
+all'impronta digitale della chiave primaria). Questo corrisponderà direttamente
+ad un file nella cartella ``~/.gnupg``::
+
+ $ cd ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d
+ $ ls
+ 1111000000000000000000000000000000000000.key
+ 2222000000000000000000000000000000000000.key
+ 3333000000000000000000000000000000000000.key
+
+Quello che dovrete fare è rimuovere il file .key che corrisponde al keygrip
+della chiave primaria::
+
+ $ cd ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d
+ $ rm 1111000000000000000000000000000000000000.key
+
+Ora, se eseguite il comando ``--list-secret-keys``, vedrete che la chiave
+primaria non compare più (il simbolo ``#`` indica che non è disponibile)::
+
+ $ gpg --list-secret-keys
+ sec# rsa2048 2018-01-24 [SC] [expires: 2020-01-24]
+ 000000000000000000000000AAAABBBBCCCCDDDD
+ uid [ultimate] Alice Dev <adev@kernel.org>
+ ssb rsa2048 2018-01-24 [E] [expires: 2020-01-24]
+ ssb ed25519 2018-01-24 [S]
+
+Dovreste rimuovere anche i file ``secring.gpg`` che si trovano nella cartella
+``~/.gnupg``, in quanto rimasugli delle versioni precedenti di GnuPG.
+
+Se non avete la cartella "private-keys-v1.d"
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Se non avete la cartella ``~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d``, allora le vostre
+chiavi segrete sono ancora salvate nel vecchio file ``secring.gpg`` usato
+da GnuPG v1. Effettuare una qualsiasi modifica alla vostra chiave, come
+cambiare la passphare o aggiungere una sottochiave, dovrebbe convertire
+automaticamente il vecchio formato ``secring.gpg``nel nuovo
+``private-keys-v1.d``.
+
+Una volta che l'avete fatto, assicuratevi di rimuovere il file ``secring.gpg``,
+che continua a contenere la vostra chiave privata.
+
+.. _it_smartcards:
+
+Spostare le sottochiavi in un apposito dispositivo criptato
+===========================================================
+
+Nonostante la chiave primaria sia ora al riparo da occhi e mani indiscrete,
+le sottochiavi si trovano ancora nella vostra cartella home. Chiunque riesca
+a mettere le sue mani su quelle chiavi riuscirà a decriptare le vostre
+comunicazioni o a falsificare le vostre firme (se conoscono la passphrase).
+Inoltre, ogni volta che viene fatta un'operazione con GnuPG, le chiavi vengono
+caricate nella memoria di sistema e potrebbero essere rubate con l'uso di
+malware sofisticati (pensate a Meltdown e a Spectre).
+
+Il miglior modo per proteggere le proprie chiave è di spostarle su un
+dispositivo specializzato in grado di effettuare operazioni smartcard.
+
+I benefici di una smartcard
+---------------------------
+
+Una smartcard contiene un chip crittografico che è capace di immagazzinare
+le chiavi private ed effettuare operazioni crittografiche direttamente sulla
+carta stessa. Dato che la chiave non lascia mai la smartcard, il sistema
+operativo usato sul computer non sarà in grado di accedere alle chiavi.
+Questo è molto diverso dai dischi USB criptati che abbiamo usato allo scopo di
+avere una copia di riserva sicura -- quando il dispositivo USB è connesso e
+montato, il sistema operativo potrà accedere al contenuto delle chiavi private.
+
+L'uso di un disco USB criptato non può sostituire le funzioni di un dispositivo
+capace di operazioni di tipo smartcard.
+
+Dispositivi smartcard disponibili
+---------------------------------
+
+A meno che tutti i vostri computer dispongano di lettori smartcard, il modo
+più semplice è equipaggiarsi di un dispositivo USB specializzato che
+implementi le funzionalità delle smartcard. Sul mercato ci sono diverse
+soluzioni disponibili:
+
+- `Nitrokey Start`_: è Open hardware e Free Software, è basata sul progetto
+ `GnuK`_ della FSIJ. Ha il supporto per chiavi ECC, ma meno funzionalità di
+ sicurezza (come la resistenza alla manomissione o alcuni attacchi ad un
+ canale laterale).
+- `Nitrokey Pro`_: è simile alla Nitrokey Start, ma è più resistente alla
+ manomissione e offre più funzionalità di sicurezza, ma l'ECC.
+- `Yubikey 4`_: l'hardware e il software sono proprietari, ma è più economica
+ della Nitrokey Pro ed è venduta anche con porta USB-C il che è utile con i
+ computer portatili più recenti. In aggiunta, offre altre funzionalità di
+ sicurezza come FIDO, U2F, ma non l'ECC
+
+`Su LWN c'è una buona recensione`_ dei modelli elencati qui sopra e altri.
+Se volete usare chiavi ECC, la vostra migliore scelta sul mercato è la
+Nitrokey Start.

+.. _`Su LWN c'è una buona recensione`: https://lwn.net/Articles/736231/
+
+Configurare il vostro dispositivo smartcard
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Il vostro dispositivo smartcard dovrebbe iniziare a funzionare non appena
+lo collegate ad un qualsiasi computer Linux moderno. Potete verificarlo
+eseguendo::
+
+ $ gpg --card-status
+
+Se vedete tutti i dettagli della smartcard, allora ci siamo. Sfortunatamente,
+affrontare tutti i possibili motivi per cui le cose potrebbero non funzionare
+non è lo scopo di questa guida. Se avete problemi nel far funzionare la carta
+con GnuPG, cercate aiuto attraverso i soliti canali di supporto.
+
+Per configurare la vostra smartcard, dato che non c'è una via facile dalla
+riga di comando, dovrete usate il menu di GnuPG::
+
+ $ gpg --card-edit
+ [...omitted...]
+ gpg/card> admin
+ Admin commands are allowed
+ gpg/card> passwd
+
+Dovreste impostare il PIN dell'utente (1), quello dell'amministratore (3) e il
+codice di reset (4). Assicuratevi di annotare e salvare questi codici in un
+posto sicuro -- specialmente il PIN dell'amministratore e il codice di reset
+(che vi permetterà di azzerare completamente la smartcard). Il PIN
+dell'amministratore viene usato così raramente che è inevitabile dimenticarselo
+se non lo si annota.
+
+Tornando al nostro menu, potete impostare anche altri valori (come il nome,
+il sesso, informazioni d'accesso, eccetera), ma non sono necessari e aggiunge
+altre informazioni sulla carta che potrebbero trapelare in caso di smarrimento.
+
+.. note::
+
+ A dispetto del nome "PIN", né il PIN utente né quello dell'amministratore
+ devono essere esclusivamente numerici.
+
+Spostare le sottochiavi sulla smartcard
+---------------------------------------
+
+Uscite dal menu (usando "q") e salverete tutte le modifiche. Poi, spostiamo
+tutte le sottochiavi sulla smartcard. Per la maggior parte delle operazioni
+vi serviranno sia la passphrase della chiave PGP che il PIN
+dell'amministratore::
+
+ $ gpg --edit-key [fpr]
+
+ Secret subkeys are available.
+
+ pub rsa2048/AAAABBBBCCCCDDDD
+ created: 2018-01-23 expires: 2020-01-23 usage: SC
+ trust: ultimate validity: ultimate
+ ssb rsa2048/1111222233334444
+ created: 2018-01-23 expires: never usage: E

+ created: 2017-12-07 expires: never usage: S
+ [ultimate] (1). Alice Dev <adev@kernel.org>
+
+ gpg>
+
+Usando ``--edit-key`` si tornerà alla modalità menu e noterete che
+la lista delle chiavi è leggermente diversa. Da questo momento in poi,
+tutti i comandi saranno eseguiti nella modalità menu, come indicato
+da ``gpg>``.
+
+Per prima cosa, selezioniamo la chiave che verrà messa sulla carta --
+potete farlo digitando ``key 1`` (è la prima della lista, la sottochiave
+**[E]**)::
+
+ gpg> key 1
+
+Nel'output dovreste vedere ``ssb*`` associato alla chiave **[E]**. Il simbolo
+``*`` indica che la chiave è stata "selezionata". Funziona come un
+interruttore, ovvero se scrivete nuovamente ``key 1``, il simbolo ``*`` sparirà
+e la chiave non sarà più selezionata.
+
+Ora, spostiamo la chiave sulla smartcard::
+
+ gpg> keytocard
+ Please select where to store the key:
+ (2) Encryption key
+ Your selection? 2
+
+Dato che è la nostra chiave **[E]**, ha senso metterla nella sezione criptata.
+Quando confermerete la selezione, vi verrà chiesta la passphrase della vostra
+chiave PGP, e poi il PIN dell'amministratore. Se il comando ritorna senza
+errori, allora la vostra chiave è stata spostata con successo.
+
+**Importante**: digitate nuovamente ``key 1`` per deselezionare la prima chiave
+e selezionate la seconda chiave **[S]** con ``key 2``::
+
+ gpg> key 1
+ gpg> key 2
+ gpg> keytocard
+ Please select where to store the key:
+ (1) Signature key
+ (3) Authentication key
+ Your selection? 1
+
+Potete usare la chiave **[S]** sia per firmare che per autenticare, ma vogliamo
+che sia nella sezione di firma, quindi scegliete (1). Ancora una volta, se il
+comando ritorna senza errori, allora l'operazione è avvenuta con successo::
+
+ gpg> q
+ Save changes? (y/N) y
+
+Salvando le modifiche cancellerete dalla vostra cartella home tutte le chiavi
+che avete spostato sulla carta (ma questo non è un problema, perché abbiamo
+fatto delle copie di sicurezza nel caso in cui dovessimo configurare una
+nuova smartcard).
+
+Verificare che le chiavi siano state spostate
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Ora, se doveste usare l'opzione ``--list-secret-keys``, vedrete una
+sottile differenza nell'output::
+
+ $ gpg --list-secret-keys
+ sec# rsa2048 2018-01-24 [SC] [expires: 2020-01-24]
+ 000000000000000000000000AAAABBBBCCCCDDDD
+ uid [ultimate] Alice Dev <adev@kernel.org>
+ ssb> rsa2048 2018-01-24 [E] [expires: 2020-01-24]
+ ssb> ed25519 2018-01-24 [S]
+
+Il simbolo ``>`` in ``ssb>`` indica che la sottochiave è disponibile solo
+nella smartcard. Se tornate nella vostra cartella delle chiavi segrete e
+guardate al suo contenuto, noterete che i file ``.key`` sono stati sostituiti
+con degli stub::
+
+ $ cd ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d
+ $ strings *.key | grep 'private-key'
+
+Per indicare che i file sono solo degli stub e che in realtà il contenuto è
+sulla smartcard, l'output dovrebbe mostrarvi ``shadowed-private-key``.
+
+Verificare che la smartcard funzioni
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Per verificare che la smartcard funzioni come dovuto, potete creare
+una firma::
+
+ $ echo "Hello world" | gpg --clearsign > /tmp/test.asc
+ $ gpg --verify /tmp/test.asc
+
+Col primo comando dovrebbe chiedervi il PIN della smartcard, e poi dovrebbe
+mostrare "Good signature" dopo l'esecuzione di ``gpg --verify``.
+
+Complimenti, siete riusciti a rendere estremamente difficile il furto della
+vostra identità digitale di sviluppatore.
+
+Altre operazioni possibili con GnuPG
+------------------------------------
+
+Segue un breve accenno ad alcune delle operazioni più comuni che dovrete
+fare con le vostre chiavi PGP.
+
+Montare il disco con la chiave primaria
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Vi servirà la vostra chiave principale per tutte le operazioni che seguiranno,
+per cui per prima cosa dovrete accedere ai vostri backup e dire a GnuPG di
+usarli::
+
+ $ export GNUPGHOME=/media/disk/foo/gnupg-backup
+ $ gpg --list-secret-keys
+
+Dovete assicurarvi di vedere ``sec`` e non ``sec#`` nell'output del programma
+(il simbolo ``#`` significa che la chiave non è disponibile e che state ancora
+utilizzando la vostra solita cartella di lavoro).
+
+Estendere la data di scadenza di una chiave
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+La chiave principale ha una data di scadenza di 2 anni dal momento della sua
+creazione. Questo per motivi di sicurezza e per rendere obsolete le chiavi
+che, eventualmente, dovessero sparire dai keyserver.
+
+Per estendere di un anno, dalla data odierna, la scadenza di una vostra chiave,
+eseguite::
+
+ $ gpg --quick-set-expire [fpr] 1y
+
+Se per voi è più facile da memorizzare, potete anche utilizzare una data
+specifica (per esempio, il vostro compleanno o capodanno)::
+
+ $ gpg --quick-set-expire [fpr] 2020-07-01
+
+Ricordatevi di inviare l'aggiornamento ai keyserver::
+
+ $ gpg --send-key [fpr]
+
+Aggiornare la vostra cartella di lavoro dopo ogni modifica
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Dopo aver fatto delle modifiche alle vostre chiavi usando uno spazio a parte,
+dovreste importarle nella vostra cartella di lavoro abituale::
+
+ $ gpg --export | gpg --homedir ~/.gnupg --import
+ $ unset GNUPGHOME
+
+
+Usare PGP con Git
+=================
+
+Una delle caratteristiche fondanti di Git è la sua natura decentralizzata --
+una volta che il repositorio è stato clonato sul vostro sistema, avete la
+storia completa del progetto, inclusi i suoi tag, i commit ed i rami. Tuttavia,
+con i centinaia di repositori clonati che ci sono in giro, come si fa a
+verificare che la loro copia di linux.git non è stata manomessa da qualcuno?
+
+Oppure, cosa succede se viene scoperta una backdoor nel codice e la riga
+"Autore" dice che sei stato tu, mentre tu sei abbastanza sicuro di
+`non averci niente a che fare`_?
+
+Per risolvere entrambi i problemi, Git ha introdotto l'integrazione con PGP.
+I tag firmati dimostrano che il repositorio è integro assicurando che il suo
+contenuto è lo stesso che si trova sulle macchine degli sviluppatori che hanno
+creato il tag; mentre i commit firmati rendono praticamente impossibile
+ad un malintenzionato di impersonarvi senza avere accesso alle vostre chiavi
+PGP.
+
+.. _`non averci niente a che fare`: https://github.com/jayphelps/git-blame-someone-else
+
+Configurare git per usare la vostra chiave PGP
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Se avete solo una chiave segreta nel vostro portachiavi, allora non avete nulla
+da fare in più dato che sarà la vostra chiave di base. Tuttavia, se doveste
+avere più chiavi segrete, potete dire a git quale dovrebbe usare (``[fpg]``
+è la vostra impronta digitale)::
+
+ $ git config --global user.signingKey [fpr]
+
+**IMPORTANTE**: se avete una comando dedicato per ``gpg2``, allora dovreste
+dire a git di usare sempre quello piuttosto che il vecchio comando ``gpg``::
+
+ $ git config --global gpg.program gpg2
+
+Come firmare i tag
+------------------
+
+Per creare un tag firmato, passate l'opzione ``-s`` al comando tag::
+
+ $ git tag -s [tagname]
+
+La nostra raccomandazione è quella di firmare sempre i tag git, perché
+questo permette agli altri sviluppatori di verificare che il repositorio
+git dal quale stanno prendendo il codice non è stato alterato intenzionalmente.
+
+Come verificare i tag firmati
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Per verificare un tag firmato, potete usare il comando ``verify-tag``::
+
+ $ git verify-tag [tagname]
+
+Se state prendendo un tag da un fork del repositorio del progetto, git
+dovrebbe verificare automaticamente la firma di quello che state prendendo
+e vi mostrerà il risultato durante l'operazione di merge::
+
+ $ git pull [url] tags/sometag
+
+Il merge conterrà qualcosa di simile::
+
+ Merge tag 'sometag' of [url]
+
+ [Tag message]
+
+ # gpg: Signature made [...]
+ # gpg: Good signature from [...]
+
+Se state verificando il tag di qualcun altro, allora dovrete importare
+la loro chiave PGP. Fate riferimento alla sezione ":ref:`it_verify_identities`"
+che troverete più avanti.
+
+Configurare git per firmare sempre i tag con annotazione
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Se state creando un tag con annotazione è molto probabile che vogliate
+firmarlo. Per imporre a git di firmare sempre un tag con annotazione,
+dovete impostare la seguente opzione globale::
+
+ $ git config --global tag.forceSignAnnotated true
+
+Come usare commit firmati
+-------------------------
+
+Creare dei commit firmati è facile, ma è molto più difficile utilizzarli
+nello sviluppo del kernel linux per via del fatto che ci si affida alle
+liste di discussione e questo modo di procedere non mantiene le firme PGP
+nei commit. In aggiunta, quando si usa *rebase* nel proprio repositorio
+locale per allinearsi al kernel anche le proprie firme PGP verranno scartate.
+Per questo motivo, la maggior parte degli sviluppatori del kernel non si
+preoccupano troppo di firmare i propri commit ed ignoreranno quelli firmati
+che si trovano in altri repositori usati per il proprio lavoro.
+
+Tuttavia, se avete il vostro repositorio di lavoro disponibile al pubblico
+su un qualche servizio di hosting git (kernel.org, infradead.org, ozlabs.org,
+o altri), allora la raccomandazione è di firmare tutti i vostri commit
+anche se gli sviluppatori non ne beneficeranno direttamente.
+
+Vi raccomandiamo di farlo per i seguenti motivi:
+
+1. Se dovesse mai esserci la necessità di fare delle analisi forensi o
+ tracciare la provenienza di un codice, anche sorgenti mantenuti
+ esternamente che hanno firme PGP sui commit avranno un certo valore a
+ questo scopo.
+2. Se dovesse mai capitarvi di clonare il vostro repositorio locale (per
+ esempio dopo un danneggiamento del disco), la firma vi permetterà di
+ verificare l'integrità del repositorio prima di riprendere il lavoro.
+3. Se qualcuno volesse usare *cherry-pick* sui vostri commit, allora la firma
+ permetterà di verificare l'integrità dei commit prima di applicarli.
+
+Creare commit firmati
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Per creare un commit firmato, dovete solamente aggiungere l'opzione ``-S``
+al comando ``git commit`` (si usa la lettera maiuscola per evitare
+conflitti con un'altra opzione)::
+
+ $ git commit -S
+
+Configurare git per firmare sempre i commit
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Potete dire a git di firmare sempre i commit::
+
+ git config --global commit.gpgSign true
+
+.. note::
+
+ Assicuratevi di aver configurato ``gpg-agent`` prima di abilitare
+ questa opzione.
+
+.. _it_verify_identities:
+
+Come verificare l'identità degli sviluppatori del kernel
+========================================================
+
+Firmare i tag e i commit è facile, ma come si fa a verificare che la chiave
+usata per firmare qualcosa appartenga davvero allo sviluppatore e non ad un
+impostore?
+
+Configurare l'auto-key-retrieval usando WKD e DANE
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+Se non siete ancora in possesso di una vasta collezione di chiavi pubbliche
+di altri sviluppatori, allora potreste iniziare il vostro portachiavi
+affidandovi ai servizi di auto-scoperta e auto-recupero. GnuPG può affidarsi
+ad altre tecnologie di delega della fiducia, come DNSSEC e TLS, per sostenervi
+nel caso in cui iniziare una propria rete di fiducia da zero sia troppo
+scoraggiante.
+
+Aggiungete il seguente testo al vostro file ``~/.gnupg/gpg.conf``::
+
+ auto-key-locate wkd,dane,local
+ auto-key-retrieve
+
+La *DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities* ("DANE") è un metodo
+per la pubblicazione di chiavi pubbliche su DNS e per renderle sicure usando
+zone firmate con DNSSEC. Il *Web Key Directory* ("WKD") è un metodo
+alternativo che usa https a scopo di ricerca. Quando si usano DANE o WKD
+per la ricerca di chiavi pubbliche, GnuPG validerà i certificati DNSSEC o TLS
+prima di aggiungere al vostro portachiavi locale le eventuali chiavi trovate.
+
+Kernel.org pubblica la WKD per tutti gli sviluppatori che hanno un account
+kernel.org. Una volta che avete applicato le modifiche al file ``gpg.conf``,
+potrete auto-recuperare le chiavi di Linus Torvalds e Greg Kroah-Hartman
+(se non le avete già)::
+
+ $ gpg --locate-keys torvalds@kernel.org gregkh@kernel.org
+
+Se avete un account kernel.org, al fine di rendere più utile l'uso di WKD
+da parte di altri sviluppatori del kernel, dovreste `aggiungere alla vostra
+chiave lo UID di kernel.org`_.
+
+.. _`aggiungere alla vostra chiave lo UID di kernel.org`: https://korg.wiki.kernel.org/userdoc/mail#adding_a_kernelorg_uid_to_your_pgp_key
+
+Web of Trust (WOT) o Trust on First Use (TOFU)
+----------------------------------------------
+
+PGP incorpora un meccanismo di delega della fiducia conosciuto come
+"Web of Trust". Di base, questo è un tentativo di sostituire la necessità
+di un'autorità certificativa centralizzata tipica del mondo HTTPS/TLS.
+Invece di avere svariati produttori software che decidono chi dovrebbero
+essere le entità di certificazione di cui dovreste fidarvi, PGP lascia
+la responsabilità ad ogni singolo utente.
+
+Sfortunatamente, solo poche persone capiscono come funziona la rete di fiducia.
+Nonostante sia un importante aspetto della specifica OpenPGP, recentemente
+le versioni di GnuPG (2.2 e successive) hanno implementato un meccanisco
+alternativo chiamato "Trust on First Use" (TOFU). Potete pensare a TOFU come
+"ad un approccio all fidicia simile ad SSH". In SSH, la prima volta che vi
+connettete ad un sistema remoto, l'impronta digitale della chiave viene
+registrata e ricordata. Se la chiave dovesse cambiare in futuro, il programma
+SSH vi avviserà e si rifiuterà di connettersi, obbligandovi a prendere una
+decisione circa la fiducia che riponete nella nuova chiave. In modo simile,
+la prima volta che importate la chiave PGP di qualcuno, si assume sia valida.
+Se ad un certo punto GnuPG trova un'altra chiave con la stessa identità,
+entrambe, la vecchia e la nuova, verranno segnate come invalide e dovrete
+verificare manualmente quale tenere.
+
+Vi raccomandiamo di usare il meccanisco TOFU+PGP (che è la nuova configurazione
+di base di GnuPG v2). Per farlo, aggiungete (o modificate) l'impostazione
+``trust-model`` in ``~/.gnupg/gpg.conf``::
+
+ trust-model tofu+pgp
+
+Come usare i keyserver in sicurezza
+-----------------------------------
+Se ottenete l'errore "No public key" quando cercate di validate il tag di
+qualcuno, allora dovreste cercare quella chiave usando un keyserver. È
+importante tenere bene a mente che non c'è alcuna garanzia che la chiave
+che avete recuperato da un keyserver PGP appartenga davvero alla persona
+reale -- è progettato così. Dovreste usare il Web of Trust per assicurarvi
+che la chiave sia valida.
+
+Come mantenere il Web of Trust va oltre gli scopi di questo documento,
+semplicemente perché farlo come si deve richiede sia sforzi che perseveranza
+che tendono ad andare oltre al livello di interesse della maggior parte degli
+esseri umani. Qui di seguito alcuni rapidi suggerimenti per aiutarvi a ridurre
+il rischio di importare chiavi maligne.
+
+Primo, diciamo che avete provato ad eseguire ``git verify-tag`` ma restituisce
+un errore dicendo che la chiave non è stata trovata::
+
+ $ git verify-tag sunxi-fixes-for-4.15-2
+ gpg: Signature made Sun 07 Jan 2018 10:51:55 PM EST
+ gpg: using RSA key DA73759BF8619E484E5A3B47389A54219C0F2430
+ gpg: issuer "wens@...org"
+ gpg: Can't check signature: No public key
+
+Cerchiamo nel keyserver per maggiori informazioni sull'impronta digitale
+della chiave (l'impronta digitale, probabilmente, appartiene ad una
+sottochiave, dunque non possiamo usarla direttamente senza trovare prima
+l'ID della chiave primaria associata ad essa)::
+
+ $ gpg --search DA73759BF8619E484E5A3B47389A54219C0F2430
+ gpg: data source: hkp://keys.gnupg.net
+ (1) Chen-Yu Tsai <wens@...org>
+ 4096 bit RSA key C94035C21B4F2AEB, created: 2017-03-14, expires: 2019-03-15
+ Keys 1-1 of 1 for "DA73759BF8619E484E5A3B47389A54219C0F2430". Enter number(s), N)ext, or Q)uit > q
+
+Localizzate l'ID della chiave primaria, nel nostro esempio
+``C94035C21B4F2AEB``. Ora visualizzate le chiavi di Linus Torvalds
+che avete nel vostro portachiavi::
+
+ $ gpg --list-key torvalds@kernel.org
+ pub rsa2048 2011-09-20 [SC]
+ ABAF11C65A2970B130ABE3C479BE3E4300411886
+ uid [ unknown] Linus Torvalds <torvalds@kernel.org>
+ sub rsa2048 2011-09-20 [E]
+
+Poi, aprite il `PGP pathfinder`_. Nel campo "From", incollate l'impronta
+digitale della chiave di Linus Torvalds che si vede nell'output qui sopra.
+Nel campo "to", incollate il key-id della chiave sconosciuta che avete
+trovato con ``gpg --search``, e poi verificare il risultato:
+
+- `Finding paths to Linus`_
+
+Se trovate un paio di percorsi affidabili è un buon segno circa la validità
+della chiave. Ora, potete aggiungerla al vostro portachiavi dal keyserver::
+
+ $ gpg --recv-key C94035C21B4F2AEB
+
+Questa procedura non è perfetta, e ovviamente state riponendo la vostra
+fiducia nell'amministratore del servizio *PGP Pathfinder* sperando che non
+sia malintenzionato (infatti, questo va contro :ref:`it_devs_not_infra`).
+Tuttavia, se mantenete con cura la vostra rete di fiducia sarà un deciso
+miglioramento rispetto alla cieca fiducia nei keyserver.

Tutto quello che volevate sapere sui rilasci -stable di Linux
==============================================================
-.. warning::
+Regole sul tipo di patch che vengono o non vengono accettate nei sorgenti
+"-stable":
- TODO ancora da tradurre
+ - Ovviamente dev'essere corretta e verificata.
+ - Non dev'essere più grande di 100 righe, incluso il contesto.
+ - Deve correggere una cosa sola.
+ - Deve correggere un baco vero che sta disturbando gli utenti (non cose del
+ tipo "Questo potrebbe essere un problema ...").
+ - Deve correggere un problema di compilazione (ma non per cose già segnate
+ con CONFIG_BROKEN), un kernel oops, un blocco, una corruzione di dati,
+ un vero problema di sicurezza, o problemi del tipo "oh, questo non va bene".
+ In pratica, qualcosa di critico.
+ - Problemi importanti riportati dagli utenti di una distribuzione potrebbero
+ essere considerati se correggono importanti problemi di prestazioni o di
+ interattività. Dato che questi problemi non sono così ovvi e la loro
+ correzione ha un'alta probabilità d'introdurre una regressione, dovrebbero
+ essere sottomessi solo dal manutentore della distribuzione includendo un
+ link, se esiste, ad un rapporto su bugzilla, e informazioni aggiuntive
+ sull'impatto che ha sugli utenti.
+ - Non deve correggere problemi relativi a una "teorica sezione critica",
+ a meno che non venga fornita anche una spiegazione su come questa si
+ possa verificare.
+ - Non deve includere alcuna correzione "banale" (correzioni grammaticali,
+ pulizia dagli spazi bianchi, eccetera).
+ - Deve rispettare le regole scritte in
+ :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/submitting-patches.rst <it_submittingpatches>`
+ - Questa patch o una equivalente deve esistere già nei sorgenti principali di
+ Linux
+
+
+Procedura per sottomettere patch per i sorgenti -stable
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Se la patch contiene modifiche a dei file nelle cartelle net/ o drivers/net,
+ allora seguite le linee guida descritte in
+ :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/networking/netdev-FAQ.rst <it_netdev-FAQ>`;
+ ma solo dopo aver verificato al seguente indirizzo che la patch non sia
+ già in coda:
+ https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/?series=&submitter=&state=*&q=&archive=
+ - Una patch di sicurezza non dovrebbero essere gestite (solamente) dal processo
+ di revisione -stable, ma dovrebbe seguire le procedure descritte in
+ :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/admin-guide/security-bugs.rst <it_securitybugs>`.
+
+
+Per tutte le altre sottomissioni, scegliere una delle seguenti procedure
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. _it_option_1:
+
+Opzione 1
+*********
+
+Per far sì che una patch venga automaticamente inclusa nei sorgenti stabili,
+aggiungete l'etichetta
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
+
+nell'area dedicata alla firme. Una volta che la patch è stata inclusa, verrà
+applicata anche sui sorgenti stabili senza che l'autore o il manutentore
+del sottosistema debba fare qualcosa.
+
+.. _it_option_2:
+
+Opzione 2
+*********
+
+Dopo che la patch è stata inclusa nei sorgenti Linux, inviate una mail a
+stable@vger.kernel.org includendo: il titolo della patch, l'identificativo
+del commit, il perché pensate che debba essere applicata, e in quale versione
+del kernel la vorreste vedere.
+
+.. _it_option_3:
+
+Opzione 3
+*********
+
+Inviata la patch, dopo aver verificato che rispetta le regole descritte in
+precedenza, a stable@vger.kernel.org. Dovete annotare nel changelog
+l'identificativo del commit nei sorgenti principali, così come la versione
+del kernel nel quale vorreste vedere la patch.
+
+L':ref:`it_option_1` è fortemente raccomandata; è il modo più facile e usato.
+L':ref:`it_option_2` e l':ref:`it_option_3` sono più utili quando, al momento
+dell'inclusione dei sorgenti principali, si ritiene che non debbano essere
+incluse anche in quelli stabili (per esempio, perché si crede che si dovrebbero
+fare più verifiche per eventuali regressioni). L':ref:`it_option_3` è
+particolarmente utile se la patch ha bisogno di qualche modifica per essere
+applicata ad un kernel più vecchio (per esempio, perché nel frattempo l'API è
+cambiata).
+
+Notate che per l':ref:`it_option_3`, se la patch è diversa da quella nei
+sorgenti principali (per esempio perché è stato necessario un lavoro di
+adattamento) allora dev'essere ben documentata e giustificata nella descrizione
+della patch.
+
+L'identificativo del commit nei sorgenti principali dev'essere indicato sopra
+al messaggio della patch, così:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ commit <sha1> upstream.
+
+In aggiunta, alcune patch inviate attraverso l':ref:`it_option_1` potrebbero
+dipendere da altre che devo essere incluse. Questa situazione può essere
+indicata nel seguente modo nell'area dedicata alle firme:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.3.x: a1f84a3: sched: Check for idle
+ Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.3.x: 1b9508f: sched: Rate-limit newidle
+ Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.3.x: fd21073: sched: Fix affinity logic
+ Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.3.x
+ Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
+
+La sequenza di etichette ha il seguente significato:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ git cherry-pick a1f84a3
+ git cherry-pick 1b9508f
+ git cherry-pick fd21073
+ git cherry-pick <this commit>
+
+Inoltre, alcune patch potrebbero avere dei requisiti circa la versione del
+kernel. Questo può essere indicato usando il seguente formato nell'area
+dedicata alle firme:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.3.x
+
+L'etichetta ha il seguente significato:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ git cherry-pick <this commit>
+
+per ogni sorgente "-stable" che inizia con la versione indicata.
+
+Dopo la sottomissione:
+
+ - Il mittente riceverà un ACK quando la patch è stata accettata e messa in
+ coda, oppure un NAK se la patch è stata rigettata. A seconda degli impegni
+ degli sviluppatori, questa risposta potrebbe richiedere alcuni giorni.
+ - Se accettata, la patch verrà aggiunta alla coda -stable per essere
+ revisionata dal altri sviluppatori e dal principale manutentore del
+ sottosistema.
+
+
+Ciclo di una revisione
+----------------------
+
+ - Quando i manutentori -stable decidono di fare un ciclo di revisione, le
+ patch vengono mandate al comitato per la revisione, ai manutentori soggetti
+ alle modifiche delle patch (a meno che il mittente non sia anche il
+ manutentore di quell'area del kernel) e in CC: alla lista di discussione
+ linux-kernel.
+ - La commissione per la revisione ha 48 ore per dare il proprio ACK o NACK
+ alle patch.
+ - Se una patch viene rigettata da un membro della commissione, o un membro
+ della lista linux-kernel obietta la bontà della patch, sollevando problemi
+ che i manutentori ed i membri non avevano compreso, allora la patch verrà
+ rimossa dalla coda.
+ - Alla fine del ciclo di revisione tutte le patch che hanno ricevuto l'ACK
+ verranno aggiunte per il prossimo rilascio -stable, e successivamente
+ questo nuovo rilascio verrà fatto.
+ - Le patch di sicurezza verranno accettate nei sorgenti -stable direttamente
+ dalla squadra per la sicurezza del kernel, e non passerà per il normale
+ ciclo di revisione. Contattate la suddetta squadra per maggiori dettagli
+ su questa procedura.
+
+Sorgenti
+--------
+
+ - La coda delle patch, sia quelle già applicate che in fase di revisione,
+ possono essere trovate al seguente indirizzo:
+
+ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git
+
+ - Il rilascio definitivo, e marchiato, di tutti i kernel stabili può essere
+ trovato in rami distinti per versione al seguente indirizzo:
+
+ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
+
+
+Comitato per la revisione
+-------------------------
+
+ - Questo comitato è fatto di sviluppatori del kernel che si sono offerti
+ volontari per questo lavoro, e pochi altri che non sono proprio volontari.

-
-本节包å«å¾ˆå¤šå’Œæ交到内核的代ç æœ‰å…³çš„通常的"规则"。事情永远有例外...但是
-你必须真的有好的ç†ç”±è¿™æ ·åšã€‚ä½ å¯ä»¥æŠŠæœ¬èŠ‚å«åšLinus的计算机科学入门课。
-
-1) 读 Document/process/coding-style.rst
-
-Nuff 说过,如果你的代ç å’Œè¿™ä¸ªå离太多,那么它有å¯èƒ½ä¼šè¢«æ‹’ç»ï¼Œæ²¡æœ‰æ›´å¤šçš„
-审查,没有更多的评价。
-
-2) #ifdef 是丑陋的
-æ··æ‚了 ifdef 的代ç éš¾ä»¥é˜…读和维护。别这样åšã€‚作为替代,将你的 ifdef 放
-在头文件里,有æ¡ä»¶åœ°å®šä¹‰ "static inline" 函数,或者å®ï¼Œåœ¨ä»£ç é‡Œç”¨è¿™äº›ä¸œ

-(代ç æ–‡ä»¶é‡Œ)
- dev = alloc_etherdev (sizeof(struct funky_private));
- if (!dev)
- return -ENODEV;
- init_funky_net(dev);
-
-3) 'static inline' 比å®å¥½
-
-Static inline 函数相比å®æ¥è¯´ï¼Œæ˜¯å¥½å¾—多的选择。Static inline 函数æ供了
-类型安全,没有长度é™åˆ¶ï¼Œæ²¡æœ‰æ ¼å¼é™åˆ¶ï¼Œåœ¨ gcc 下开销和å®ä¸€æ ·å°ã€‚

+1. Usage
+~~~~~~~~
+The drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c drivers works with USB modems and USB ISDN terminal
+adapters that conform to the Universal Serial Bus Communication Device Class
+Abstract Control Model (USB CDC ACM) specification.
+
+Many modems do, here is a list of those I know of:
+
+ - 3Com OfficeConnect 56k
+ - 3Com Voice FaxModem Pro
+ - 3Com Sportster
+ - MultiTech MultiModem 56k
+ - Zoom 2986L FaxModem
+ - Compaq 56k FaxModem
+ - ELSA Microlink 56k
+
+I know of one ISDN TA that does work with the acm driver:
+
+ - 3Com USR ISDN Pro TA
+
+Some cell phones also connect via USB. I know the following phones work:
+
+ - SonyEricsson K800i
+
+Unfortunately many modems and most ISDN TAs use proprietary interfaces and
+thus won't work with this drivers. Check for ACM compliance before buying.
+
+To use the modems you need these modules loaded::
+
+ usbcore.ko
+ uhci-hcd.ko ohci-hcd.ko or ehci-hcd.ko
+ cdc-acm.ko
+
+After that, the modem[s] should be accessible. You should be able to use
+minicom, ppp and mgetty with them.
+
+2. Verifying that it works
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The first step would be to check /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices, it should look
+like this::
+

+ E: Ad=04(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl= 0ms
+
+The presence of these three lines (and the Cls= 'comm' and 'data' classes)
+is important, it means it's an ACM device. The Driver=acm means the acm
+driver is used for the device. If you see only Cls=ff(vend.) then you're out
+of luck, you have a device with vendor specific-interface::
+
+ D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=02(comm.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 2

+ I: If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=0a(data ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=acm
+
+In the system log you should see::
+

+ usb.c: acm driver claimed interface c7691fa0
+
+If all this seems to be OK, fire up minicom and set it to talk to the ttyACM
+device and try typing 'at'. If it responds with 'OK', then everything is
+working.

- configfs the hidg_func_descriptor.report_desc is passed to the kernel
- by writing the appropriate stream of bytes to a configfs attribute.

It seems that the Rio has a problem when sending .mp3 with low batteries.
I suggest when the batteries are low and you want to transfer stuff that you
replace it with a fresh one. In my case, what happened is I lost two 16kb
blocks (they are no longer usable to store information to it). But I don't

-
-A Linux development kernel (2.3.x) with USB support enabled or a
-backported version to linux-2.2.x. See http://www.linux-usb.org for
-more information on accomplishing this.
-
-A Linux kernel with RIO 500 support enabled.

-Using `lspci -v`, determine the type of USB hardware available.
+Requirements
+============
- If you see something like:
+A host with a USB port running a Linux kernel with RIO 500 support enabled.
- USB Controller: ......
- Flags: .....
- I/O ports at ....
+The driver is a module called rio500, which should be automatically loaded
+as you plug in your device. If that fails you can manually load it with
- Then you have a UHCI based controller.
+ modprobe rio500
- If you see something like:
+Udev should automatically create a device node as soon as plug in your device.
+If that fails, you can manually add a device for the USB rio500::
- USB Controller: .....
- Flags: ....
- Memory at .....
+ mknod /dev/usb/rio500 c 180 64
- Then you have a OHCI based controller.
-
-Using `make menuconfig` or your preferred method for configuring the
-kernel, select 'Support for USB', 'OHCI/UHCI' depending on your
-hardware (determined from the steps above), 'USB Diamond Rio500 support', and
-'Preliminary USB device filesystem'. Compile and install the modules
-(you may need to execute `depmod -a` to update the module
-dependencies).
-
-Add a device for the USB rio500:
- `mknod /dev/usb/rio500 c 180 64`
-
-Set appropriate permissions for /dev/usb/rio500 (don't forget about
-group and world permissions). Both read and write permissions are
+In that case, set appropriate permissions for /dev/usb/rio500 (don't forget
+about group and world permissions). Both read and write permissions are
required for proper operation.
-Load the appropriate modules (if compiled as modules):
-
- OHCI:
- modprobe usbcore
- modprobe usb-ohci
- modprobe rio500
-
- UHCI:
- modprobe usbcore
- modprobe usb-uhci (or uhci)
- modprobe rio500
-
That's it. The Rio500 Utils at: http://rio500.sourceforge.net should
be able to access the rio500.

+USB/IP protocol
+===============
+
+PRELIMINARY DRAFT, MAY CONTAIN MISTAKES!
+28 Jun 2011
+
+The USB/IP protocol follows a server/client architecture. The server exports the
+USB devices and the clients imports them. The device driver for the exported
+USB device runs on the client machine.
+
+The client may ask for the list of the exported USB devices. To get the list the
+client opens a TCP/IP connection towards the server, and sends an OP_REQ_DEVLIST
+packet on top of the TCP/IP connection (so the actual OP_REQ_DEVLIST may be sent
+in one or more pieces at the low level transport layer). The server sends back
+the OP_REP_DEVLIST packet which lists the exported USB devices. Finally the
+TCP/IP connection is closed.

+ | |
+ | OP_REP_DEVLIST |
+ | <---------------------------------------------- |
+ | |
+
+Once the client knows the list of exported USB devices it may decide to use one
+of them. First the client opens a TCP/IP connection towards the server and
+sends an OP_REQ_IMPORT packet. The server replies with OP_REP_IMPORT. If the
+import was successful the TCP/IP connection remains open and will be used
+to transfer the URB traffic between the client and the server. The client may
+send two types of packets: the USBIP_CMD_SUBMIT to submit an URB, and
+USBIP_CMD_UNLINK to unlink a previously submitted URB. The answers of the
+server may be USBIP_RET_SUBMIT and USBIP_RET_UNLINK respectively.

-PRELIMINARY DRAFT, MAY CONTAIN MISTAKES!
-28 Jun 2011
-
-The USB/IP protocol follows a server/client architecture. The server exports the
-USB devices and the clients imports them. The device driver for the exported
-USB device runs on the client machine.
-
-The client may ask for the list of the exported USB devices. To get the list the
-client opens a TCP/IP connection towards the server, and sends an OP_REQ_DEVLIST
-packet on top of the TCP/IP connection (so the actual OP_REQ_DEVLIST may be sent
-in one or more pieces at the low level transport layer). The server sends back
-the OP_REP_DEVLIST packet which lists the exported USB devices. Finally the
-TCP/IP connection is closed.
-
- virtual host controller usb host
- "client" "server"
- (imports USB devices) (exports USB devices)
- | |
- | OP_REQ_DEVLIST |
- | ----------------------------------------------> |
- | |
- | OP_REP_DEVLIST |
- | <---------------------------------------------- |
- | |
-
-Once the client knows the list of exported USB devices it may decide to use one
-of them. First the client opens a TCP/IP connection towards the server and
-sends an OP_REQ_IMPORT packet. The server replies with OP_REP_IMPORT. If the
-import was successful the TCP/IP connection remains open and will be used
-to transfer the URB traffic between the client and the server. The client may
-send two types of packets: the USBIP_CMD_SUBMIT to submit an URB, and
-USBIP_CMD_UNLINK to unlink a previously submitted URB. The answers of the
-server may be USBIP_RET_SUBMIT and USBIP_RET_UNLINK respectively.

To collect a raw text trace, execute following steps.
1. Prepare

Mount debugfs (it has to be enabled in your kernel configuration), and
load the usbmon module (if built as module). The second step is skipped

Now you can choose to either use the socket '0u' (to capture packets on all
buses), and skip to step #3, or find the bus used by your device with step #2.
This allows to filter away annoying devices that talk continuously.
2. Find which bus connects to the desired device
+------------------------------------------------
Run "cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices", and find the T-line which corresponds
to the device. Usually you do it by looking for the vendor string. If you have
many similar devices, unplug one and compare the two
/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices outputs. The T-line will have a bus number.

+KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS is a pseudo-register that allows the set of vector
+lengths supported by the vcpu to be discovered and configured by
+userspace. When transferred to or from user memory via KVM_GET_ONE_REG
+or KVM_SET_ONE_REG, the value of this register is of type

+ /* Vector length vq * 16 bytes not supported */
+
+(**) The maximum value vq for which the above condition is true is
+max_vq. This is the maximum vector length available to the guest on
+this vcpu, and determines which register slices are visible through
+this ioctl interface.
+
+(See Documentation/arm64/sve.rst for an explanation of the "vq"
+nomenclature.)
+
+KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS is only accessible after KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT.
+KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT initialises it to the best set of vector lengths that

+POWER9 eXternal Interrupt Virtualization Engine (XIVE Gen1)
+==========================================================
+
+Device types supported:
+ KVM_DEV_TYPE_XIVE POWER9 XIVE Interrupt Controller generation 1
+
+This device acts as a VM interrupt controller. It provides the KVM
+interface to configure the interrupt sources of a VM in the underlying
+POWER9 XIVE interrupt controller.
+
+Only one XIVE instance may be instantiated. A guest XIVE device
+requires a POWER9 host and the guest OS should have support for the
+XIVE native exploitation interrupt mode. If not, it should run using
+the legacy interrupt mode, referred as XICS (POWER7/8).
+
+* Device Mappings
+
+ The KVM device exposes different MMIO ranges of the XIVE HW which
+ are required for interrupt management. These are exposed to the
+ guest in VMAs populated with a custom VM fault handler.
+
+ 1. Thread Interrupt Management Area (TIMA)
+
+ Each thread has an associated Thread Interrupt Management context
+ composed of a set of registers. These registers let the thread
+ handle priority management and interrupt acknowledgment. The most
+ important are :
+
+ - Interrupt Pending Buffer (IPB)
+ - Current Processor Priority (CPPR)
+ - Notification Source Register (NSR)
+
+ They are exposed to software in four different pages each proposing
+ a view with a different privilege. The first page is for the
+ physical thread context and the second for the hypervisor. Only the
+ third (operating system) and the fourth (user level) are exposed the
+ guest.
+
+ 2. Event State Buffer (ESB)
+
+ Each source is associated with an Event State Buffer (ESB) with
+ either a pair of even/odd pair of pages which provides commands to
+ manage the source: to trigger, to EOI, to turn off the source for
+ instance.
+
+ 3. Device pass-through
+
+ When a device is passed-through into the guest, the source
+ interrupts are from a different HW controller (PHB4) and the ESB
+ pages exposed to the guest should accommadate this change.
+
+ The passthru_irq helpers, kvmppc_xive_set_mapped() and
+ kvmppc_xive_clr_mapped() are called when the device HW irqs are
+ mapped into or unmapped from the guest IRQ number space. The KVM
+ device extends these helpers to clear the ESB pages of the guest IRQ
+ number being mapped and then lets the VM fault handler repopulate.
+ The handler will insert the ESB page corresponding to the HW
+ interrupt of the device being passed-through or the initial IPI ESB
+ page if the device has being removed.
+
+ The ESB remapping is fully transparent to the guest and the OS
+ device driver. All handling is done within VFIO and the above
+ helpers in KVM-PPC.
+
+* Groups:
+
+ 1. KVM_DEV_XIVE_GRP_CTRL
+ Provides global controls on the device
+ Attributes:
+ 1.1 KVM_DEV_XIVE_RESET (write only)
+ Resets the interrupt controller configuration for sources and event
+ queues. To be used by kexec and kdump.
+ Errors: none
+
+ 1.2 KVM_DEV_XIVE_EQ_SYNC (write only)
+ Sync all the sources and queues and mark the EQ pages dirty. This
+ to make sure that a consistent memory state is captured when
+ migrating the VM.
+ Errors: none
+
+ 2. KVM_DEV_XIVE_GRP_SOURCE (write only)
+ Initializes a new source in the XIVE device and mask it.
+ Attributes:
+ Interrupt source number (64-bit)
+ The kvm_device_attr.addr points to a __u64 value:
+ bits: | 63 .... 2 | 1 | 0
+ values: | unused | level | type
+ - type: 0:MSI 1:LSI
+ - level: assertion level in case of an LSI.
+ Errors:
+ -E2BIG: Interrupt source number is out of range
+ -ENOMEM: Could not create a new source block
+ -EFAULT: Invalid user pointer for attr->addr.
+ -ENXIO: Could not allocate underlying HW interrupt
+
+ 3. KVM_DEV_XIVE_GRP_SOURCE_CONFIG (write only)
+ Configures source targeting
+ Attributes:
+ Interrupt source number (64-bit)
+ The kvm_device_attr.addr points to a __u64 value:
+ bits: | 63 .... 33 | 32 | 31 .. 3 | 2 .. 0
+ values: | eisn | mask | server | priority
+ - priority: 0-7 interrupt priority level
+ - server: CPU number chosen to handle the interrupt
+ - mask: mask flag (unused)
+ - eisn: Effective Interrupt Source Number
+ Errors:
+ -ENOENT: Unknown source number
+ -EINVAL: Not initialized source number
+ -EINVAL: Invalid priority
+ -EINVAL: Invalid CPU number.
+ -EFAULT: Invalid user pointer for attr->addr.
+ -ENXIO: CPU event queues not configured or configuration of the
+ underlying HW interrupt failed
+ -EBUSY: No CPU available to serve interrupt
+
+ 4. KVM_DEV_XIVE_GRP_EQ_CONFIG (read-write)
+ Configures an event queue of a CPU
+ Attributes:
+ EQ descriptor identifier (64-bit)
+ The EQ descriptor identifier is a tuple (server, priority) :
+ bits: | 63 .... 32 | 31 .. 3 | 2 .. 0
+ values: | unused | server | priority
+ The kvm_device_attr.addr points to :
+ struct kvm_ppc_xive_eq {
+ __u32 flags;
+ __u32 qshift;
+ __u64 qaddr;
+ __u32 qtoggle;
+ __u32 qindex;
+ __u8 pad[40];
+ };
+ - flags: queue flags
+ KVM_XIVE_EQ_ALWAYS_NOTIFY (required)
+ forces notification without using the coalescing mechanism
+ provided by the XIVE END ESBs.
+ - qshift: queue size (power of 2)
+ - qaddr: real address of queue
+ - qtoggle: current queue toggle bit
+ - qindex: current queue index
+ - pad: reserved for future use
+ Errors:
+ -ENOENT: Invalid CPU number
+ -EINVAL: Invalid priority
+ -EINVAL: Invalid flags
+ -EINVAL: Invalid queue size
+ -EINVAL: Invalid queue address
+ -EFAULT: Invalid user pointer for attr->addr.
+ -EIO: Configuration of the underlying HW failed
+
+ 5. KVM_DEV_XIVE_GRP_SOURCE_SYNC (write only)
+ Synchronize the source to flush event notifications
+ Attributes:
+ Interrupt source number (64-bit)
+ Errors:
+ -ENOENT: Unknown source number
+ -EINVAL: Not initialized source number
+
+* VCPU state
+
+ The XIVE IC maintains VP interrupt state in an internal structure
+ called the NVT. When a VP is not dispatched on a HW processor
+ thread, this structure can be updated by HW if the VP is the target
+ of an event notification.
+
+ It is important for migration to capture the cached IPB from the NVT
+ as it synthesizes the priorities of the pending interrupts. We
+ capture a bit more to report debug information.
+
+ KVM_REG_PPC_VP_STATE (2 * 64bits)
+ bits: | 63 .... 32 | 31 .... 0 |
+ values: | TIMA word0 | TIMA word1 |
+ bits: | 127 .......... 64 |
+ values: | unused |
+
+* Migration:
+
+ Saving the state of a VM using the XIVE native exploitation mode
+ should follow a specific sequence. When the VM is stopped :
+
+ 1. Mask all sources (PQ=01) to stop the flow of events.
+
+ 2. Sync the XIVE device with the KVM control KVM_DEV_XIVE_EQ_SYNC to
+ flush any in-flight event notification and to stabilize the EQs. At
+ this stage, the EQ pages are marked dirty to make sure they are
+ transferred in the migration sequence.
+
+ 3. Capture the state of the source targeting, the EQs configuration
+ and the state of thread interrupt context registers.
+
+ Restore is similar :
+
+ 1. Restore the EQ configuration. As targeting depends on it.
+ 2. Restore targeting
+ 3. Restore the thread interrupt contexts
+ 4. Restore the source states
+ 5. Let the vCPU run

+The hmm_range struct has 2 fields default_flags and pfn_flags_mask that allows

+for each entries in the range.
+
+For instance if the device flags for device entries are:

+=====================
+Physical Memory Model
+=====================
+
+Physical memory in a system may be addressed in different ways. The
+simplest case is when the physical memory starts at address 0 and
+spans a contiguous range up to the maximal address. It could be,
+however, that this range contains small holes that are not accessible
+for the CPU. Then there could be several contiguous ranges at
+completely distinct addresses. And, don't forget about NUMA, where
+different memory banks are attached to different CPUs.
+
+Linux abstracts this diversity using one of the three memory models:
+FLATMEM, DISCONTIGMEM and SPARSEMEM. Each architecture defines what
+memory models it supports, what the default memory model is and
+whether it is possible to manually override that default.
+
+.. note::
+ At time of this writing, DISCONTIGMEM is considered deprecated,
+ although it is still in use by several architectures.
+
+All the memory models track the status of physical page frames using
+:c:type:`struct page` arranged in one or more arrays.
+
+Regardless of the selected memory model, there exists one-to-one
+mapping between the physical page frame number (PFN) and the
+corresponding `struct page`.
+
+Each memory model defines :c:func:`pfn_to_page` and :c:func:`page_to_pfn`
+helpers that allow the conversion from PFN to `struct page` and vice
+versa.
+
+FLATMEM
+=======
+
+The simplest memory model is FLATMEM. This model is suitable for
+non-NUMA systems with contiguous, or mostly contiguous, physical
+memory.
+
+In the FLATMEM memory model, there is a global `mem_map` array that
+maps the entire physical memory. For most architectures, the holes
+have entries in the `mem_map` array. The `struct page` objects
+corresponding to the holes are never fully initialized.
+
+To allocate the `mem_map` array, architecture specific setup code
+should call :c:func:`free_area_init_node` function or its convenience
+wrapper :c:func:`free_area_init`. Yet, the mappings array is not
+usable until the call to :c:func:`memblock_free_all` that hands all
+the memory to the page allocator.
+
+If an architecture enables `CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL` option,
+it may free parts of the `mem_map` array that do not cover the
+actual physical pages. In such case, the architecture specific
+:c:func:`pfn_valid` implementation should take the holes in the
+`mem_map` into account.
+
+With FLATMEM, the conversion between a PFN and the `struct page` is
+straightforward: `PFN - ARCH_PFN_OFFSET` is an index to the
+`mem_map` array.
+
+The `ARCH_PFN_OFFSET` defines the first page frame number for
+systems with physical memory starting at address different from 0.
+
+DISCONTIGMEM
+============
+
+The DISCONTIGMEM model treats the physical memory as a collection of
+`nodes` similarly to how Linux NUMA support does. For each node Linux
+constructs an independent memory management subsystem represented by
+`struct pglist_data` (or `pg_data_t` for short). Among other
+things, `pg_data_t` holds the `node_mem_map` array that maps
+physical pages belonging to that node. The `node_start_pfn` field of
+`pg_data_t` is the number of the first page frame belonging to that
+node.
+
+The architecture setup code should call :c:func:`free_area_init_node` for
+each node in the system to initialize the `pg_data_t` object and its
+`node_mem_map`.
+
+Every `node_mem_map` behaves exactly as FLATMEM's `mem_map` -
+every physical page frame in a node has a `struct page` entry in the
+`node_mem_map` array. When DISCONTIGMEM is enabled, a portion of the
+`flags` field of the `struct page` encodes the node number of the
+node hosting that page.
+
+The conversion between a PFN and the `struct page` in the
+DISCONTIGMEM model became slightly more complex as it has to determine
+which node hosts the physical page and which `pg_data_t` object
+holds the `struct page`.
+
+Architectures that support DISCONTIGMEM provide :c:func:`pfn_to_nid`
+to convert PFN to the node number. The opposite conversion helper
+:c:func:`page_to_nid` is generic as it uses the node number encoded in
+page->flags.
+
+Once the node number is known, the PFN can be used to index
+appropriate `node_mem_map` array to access the `struct page` and
+the offset of the `struct page` from the `node_mem_map` plus
+`node_start_pfn` is the PFN of that page.
+
+SPARSEMEM
+=========
+
+SPARSEMEM is the most versatile memory model available in Linux and it
+is the only memory model that supports several advanced features such
+as hot-plug and hot-remove of the physical memory, alternative memory
+maps for non-volatile memory devices and deferred initialization of
+the memory map for larger systems.
+
+The SPARSEMEM model presents the physical memory as a collection of
+sections. A section is represented with :c:type:`struct mem_section`
+that contains `section_mem_map` that is, logically, a pointer to an
+array of struct pages. However, it is stored with some other magic
+that aids the sections management. The section size and maximal number
+of section is specified using `SECTION_SIZE_BITS` and
+`MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS` constants defined by each architecture that
+supports SPARSEMEM. While `MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS` is an actual width of a
+physical address that an architecture supports, the
+`SECTION_SIZE_BITS` is an arbitrary value.
+
+The maximal number of sections is denoted `NR_MEM_SECTIONS` and
+defined as
+
+.. math::
+
+ NR\_MEM\_SECTIONS = 2 ^ {(MAX\_PHYSMEM\_BITS - SECTION\_SIZE\_BITS)}
+
+The `mem_section` objects are arranged in a two-dimensional array
+called `mem_sections`. The size and placement of this array depend
+on `CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME` and the maximal possible number of
+sections:
+
+* When `CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME` is disabled, the `mem_sections`
+ array is static and has `NR_MEM_SECTIONS` rows. Each row holds a
+ single `mem_section` object.
+* When `CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME` is enabled, the `mem_sections`
+ array is dynamically allocated. Each row contains PAGE_SIZE worth of
+ `mem_section` objects and the number of rows is calculated to fit
+ all the memory sections.
+
+The architecture setup code should call :c:func:`memory_present` for
+each active memory range or use :c:func:`memblocks_present` or
+:c:func:`sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions` wrappers to
+initialize the memory sections. Next, the actual memory maps should be
+set up using :c:func:`sparse_init`.
+
+With SPARSEMEM there are two possible ways to convert a PFN to the
+corresponding `struct page` - a "classic sparse" and "sparse
+vmemmap". The selection is made at build time and it is determined by
+the value of `CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP`.
+
+The classic sparse encodes the section number of a page in page->flags
+and uses high bits of a PFN to access the section that maps that page
+frame. Inside a section, the PFN is the index to the array of pages.
+
+The sparse vmemmap uses a virtually mapped memory map to optimize
+pfn_to_page and page_to_pfn operations. There is a global `struct
+page *vmemmap` pointer that points to a virtually contiguous array of
+`struct page` objects. A PFN is an index to that array and the the
+offset of the `struct page` from `vmemmap` is the PFN of that
+page.
+
+To use vmemmap, an architecture has to reserve a range of virtual
+addresses that will map the physical pages containing the memory
+map and make sure that `vmemmap` points to that range. In addition,
+the architecture should implement :c:func:`vmemmap_populate` method
+that will allocate the physical memory and create page tables for the
+virtual memory map. If an architecture does not have any special
+requirements for the vmemmap mappings, it can use default
+:c:func:`vmemmap_populate_basepages` provided by the generic memory
+management.
+
+The virtually mapped memory map allows storing `struct page` objects
+for persistent memory devices in pre-allocated storage on those
+devices. This storage is represented with :c:type:`struct vmem_altmap`
+that is eventually passed to vmemmap_populate() through a long chain
+of function calls. The vmemmap_populate() implementation may use the
+`vmem_altmap` along with :c:func:`altmap_alloc_block_buf` helper to
+allocate memory map on the persistent memory device.

* stop: with this routine the watchdog timer device is being stopped.
+
The routine needs a pointer to the watchdog timer device structure as a
parameter. It returns zero on success or a negative errno code for failure.
Some watchdog timer hardware can only be started and not be stopped. A
driver supporting such hardware does not have to implement the stop routine.
+
If a driver has no stop function, the watchdog core will set WDOG_HW_RUNNING
and start calling the driver's keepalive pings function after the watchdog
device is closed.

If a watchdog driver does not implement the stop function, it must set

* ping: this is the routine that sends a keepalive ping to the watchdog timer
hardware.
+
The routine needs a pointer to the watchdog timer device structure as a
parameter. It returns zero on success or a negative errno code for failure.
+
Most hardware that does not support this as a separate function uses the
start function to restart the watchdog timer hardware. And that's also what
the watchdog timer driver core does: to send a keepalive ping to the watchdog
timer hardware it will either use the ping operation (when available) or the
start operation (when the ping operation is not available).

(Note: the WDIOC_KEEPALIVE ioctl call will only be active when the
WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING bit has been set in the option field on the watchdog's
info structure).
* status: this routine checks the status of the watchdog timer device. The
status of the device is reported with watchdog WDIOF_* status flags/bits.
+
WDIOF_MAGICCLOSE and WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING are reported by the watchdog core;
it is not necessary to report those bits from the driver. Also, if no status
function is provided by the driver, the watchdog core reports the status bits
provided in the bootstatus variable of struct watchdog_device.
+
* set_timeout: this routine checks and changes the timeout of the watchdog
timer device. It returns 0 on success, -EINVAL for "parameter out of range"
and -EIO for "could not write value to the watchdog". On success this
routine should set the timeout value of the watchdog_device to the
achieved timeout value (which may be different from the requested one
because the watchdog does not necessarily have a 1 second resolution).
+
Drivers implementing max_hw_heartbeat_ms set the hardware watchdog heartbeat
to the minimum of timeout and max_hw_heartbeat_ms. Those drivers set the
timeout value of the watchdog_device either to the requested timeout value
(if it is larger than max_hw_heartbeat_ms), or to the achieved timeout value.
(Note: the WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT needs to be set in the options field of the
watchdog's info structure).

+Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) mitigation
+=================================================
+
+.. _mds:
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) is a family of side channel attacks
+on internal buffers in Intel CPUs. The variants are:
+
+ - Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling (MSBDS) (CVE-2018-12126)
+ - Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling (MFBDS) (CVE-2018-12130)
+ - Microarchitectural Load Port Data Sampling (MLPDS) (CVE-2018-12127)
+ - Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory (MDSUM) (CVE-2019-11091)
+
+MSBDS leaks Store Buffer Entries which can be speculatively forwarded to a
+dependent load (store-to-load forwarding) as an optimization. The forward
+can also happen to a faulting or assisting load operation for a different
+memory address, which can be exploited under certain conditions. Store
+buffers are partitioned between Hyper-Threads so cross thread forwarding is
+not possible. But if a thread enters or exits a sleep state the store
+buffer is repartitioned which can expose data from one thread to the other.
+
+MFBDS leaks Fill Buffer Entries. Fill buffers are used internally to manage
+L1 miss situations and to hold data which is returned or sent in response
+to a memory or I/O operation. Fill buffers can forward data to a load
+operation and also write data to the cache. When the fill buffer is
+deallocated it can retain the stale data of the preceding operations which
+can then be forwarded to a faulting or assisting load operation, which can
+be exploited under certain conditions. Fill buffers are shared between
+Hyper-Threads so cross thread leakage is possible.
+
+MLPDS leaks Load Port Data. Load ports are used to perform load operations
+from memory or I/O. The received data is then forwarded to the register
+file or a subsequent operation. In some implementations the Load Port can
+contain stale data from a previous operation which can be forwarded to
+faulting or assisting loads under certain conditions, which again can be
+exploited eventually. Load ports are shared between Hyper-Threads so cross
+thread leakage is possible.
+
+MDSUM is a special case of MSBDS, MFBDS and MLPDS. An uncacheable load from
+memory that takes a fault or assist can leave data in a microarchitectural
+structure that may later be observed using one of the same methods used by
+MSBDS, MFBDS or MLPDS.
+
+Exposure assumptions
+--------------------
+
+It is assumed that attack code resides in user space or in a guest with one
+exception. The rationale behind this assumption is that the code construct
+needed for exploiting MDS requires:
+
+ - to control the load to trigger a fault or assist
+
+ - to have a disclosure gadget which exposes the speculatively accessed
+ data for consumption through a side channel.
+
+ - to control the pointer through which the disclosure gadget exposes the
+ data
+
+The existence of such a construct in the kernel cannot be excluded with
+100% certainty, but the complexity involved makes it extremly unlikely.
+
+There is one exception, which is untrusted BPF. The functionality of
+untrusted BPF is limited, but it needs to be thoroughly investigated
+whether it can be used to create such a construct.
+
+
+Mitigation strategy
+-------------------
+
+All variants have the same mitigation strategy at least for the single CPU
+thread case (SMT off): Force the CPU to clear the affected buffers.
+
+This is achieved by using the otherwise unused and obsolete VERW
+instruction in combination with a microcode update. The microcode clears
+the affected CPU buffers when the VERW instruction is executed.
+
+For virtualization there are two ways to achieve CPU buffer
+clearing. Either the modified VERW instruction or via the L1D Flush
+command. The latter is issued when L1TF mitigation is enabled so the extra
+VERW can be avoided. If the CPU is not affected by L1TF then VERW needs to
+be issued.
+
+If the VERW instruction with the supplied segment selector argument is
+executed on a CPU without the microcode update there is no side effect
+other than a small number of pointlessly wasted CPU cycles.
+
+This does not protect against cross Hyper-Thread attacks except for MSBDS
+which is only exploitable cross Hyper-thread when one of the Hyper-Threads
+enters a C-state.
+
+The kernel provides a function to invoke the buffer clearing:
+
+ mds_clear_cpu_buffers()
+
+The mitigation is invoked on kernel/userspace, hypervisor/guest and C-state
+(idle) transitions.
+
+As a special quirk to address virtualization scenarios where the host has
+the microcode updated, but the hypervisor does not (yet) expose the
+MD_CLEAR CPUID bit to guests, the kernel issues the VERW instruction in the
+hope that it might actually clear the buffers. The state is reflected
+accordingly.
+
+According to current knowledge additional mitigations inside the kernel
+itself are not required because the necessary gadgets to expose the leaked
+data cannot be controlled in a way which allows exploitation from malicious
+user space or VM guests.
+
+Kernel internal mitigation modes
+--------------------------------
+
+ ======= ============================================================
+ off Mitigation is disabled. Either the CPU is not affected or
+ mds=off is supplied on the kernel command line
+
+ full Mitigation is enabled. CPU is affected and MD_CLEAR is
+ advertised in CPUID.
+
+ vmwerv Mitigation is enabled. CPU is affected and MD_CLEAR is not
+ advertised in CPUID. That is mainly for virtualization
+ scenarios where the host has the updated microcode but the
+ hypervisor does not expose MD_CLEAR in CPUID. It's a best
+ effort approach without guarantee.
+ ======= ============================================================
+
+If the CPU is affected and mds=off is not supplied on the kernel command
+line then the kernel selects the appropriate mitigation mode depending on
+the availability of the MD_CLEAR CPUID bit.
+
+Mitigation points
+-----------------
+
+1. Return to user space
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ When transitioning from kernel to user space the CPU buffers are flushed
+ on affected CPUs when the mitigation is not disabled on the kernel
+ command line. The migitation is enabled through the static key
+ mds_user_clear.
+
+ The mitigation is invoked in prepare_exit_to_usermode() which covers
+ all but one of the kernel to user space transitions. The exception
+ is when we return from a Non Maskable Interrupt (NMI), which is
+ handled directly in do_nmi().
+
+ (The reason that NMI is special is that prepare_exit_to_usermode() can
+ enable IRQs. In NMI context, NMIs are blocked, and we don't want to
+ enable IRQs with NMIs blocked.)
+
+
+2. C-State transition
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ When a CPU goes idle and enters a C-State the CPU buffers need to be
+ cleared on affected CPUs when SMT is active. This addresses the
+ repartitioning of the store buffer when one of the Hyper-Threads enters
+ a C-State.
+
+ When SMT is inactive, i.e. either the CPU does not support it or all
+ sibling threads are offline CPU buffer clearing is not required.
+
+ The idle clearing is enabled on CPUs which are only affected by MSBDS
+ and not by any other MDS variant. The other MDS variants cannot be
+ protected against cross Hyper-Thread attacks because the Fill Buffer and
+ the Load Ports are shared. So on CPUs affected by other variants, the
+ idle clearing would be a window dressing exercise and is therefore not
+ activated.
+
+ The invocation is controlled by the static key mds_idle_clear which is
+ switched depending on the chosen mitigation mode and the SMT state of
+ the system.
+
+ The buffer clear is only invoked before entering the C-State to prevent
+ that stale data from the idling CPU from spilling to the Hyper-Thread
+ sibling after the store buffer got repartitioned and all entries are
+ available to the non idle sibling.
+
+ When coming out of idle the store buffer is partitioned again so each
+ sibling has half of it available. The back from idle CPU could be then
+ speculatively exposed to contents of the sibling. The buffers are
+ flushed either on exit to user space or on VMENTER so malicious code
+ in user space or the guest cannot speculatively access them.
+
+ The mitigation is hooked into all variants of halt()/mwait(), but does
+ not cover the legacy ACPI IO-Port mechanism because the ACPI idle driver
+ has been superseded by the intel_idle driver around 2010 and is
+ preferred on all affected CPUs which are expected to gain the MD_CLEAR
+ functionality in microcode. Aside of that the IO-Port mechanism is a
+ legacy interface which is only used on older systems which are either
+ not affected or do not receive microcode updates anymore.

+are aligned with platform MTRR setup. If MTRRs are only set up by the platform
+firmware code though and the OS does not make any specific MTRR mapping
+requests mtrr_type_lookup() should always return MTRR_TYPE_INVALID.
+
+For details refer to :doc:`pat`.
+
+.. tip::
+ On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
+ the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
+ processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful when you have
+ a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
+ allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
+ before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
+ of image write operations 2.5 times or more.
+
+ The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
+ Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
+ these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
+
+ The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
+ MTRRs. These are supported. The AMD Athlon family provide 8 Intel
+ style MTRRs.
+
+ The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing write-combining. These
+ are supported.
+
+ The VIA Cyrix III and VIA C3 CPUs offer 8 Intel style MTRRs.
+
+ The CONFIG_MTRR option creates a /proc/mtrr file which may be used
+ to manipulate your MTRRs. Typically the X server should use
+ this. This should have a reasonably generic interface so that
+ similar control registers on other processors can be easily
+ supported.
+
+There are two interfaces to /proc/mtrr: one is an ASCII interface
+which allows you to read and write. The other is an ioctl()
+interface. The ASCII interface is meant for administration. The
+ioctl() interface is meant for C programs (i.e. the X server). The
+interfaces are described below, with sample commands and C code.
+
+
+Reading MTRRs from the shell
+============================
+::
+
+ % cat /proc/mtrr
+ reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 128MB: write-back, count=1
+ reg01: base=0x08000000 ( 128MB), size= 64MB: write-back, count=1
+
+Creating MTRRs from the C-shell::
+
+ # echo "base=0xf8000000 size=0x400000 type=write-combining" >! /proc/mtrr
+
+or if you use bash::
+
+ # echo "base=0xf8000000 size=0x400000 type=write-combining" >| /proc/mtrr
+
+And the result thereof::
+
+ % cat /proc/mtrr
+ reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 128MB: write-back, count=1
+ reg01: base=0x08000000 ( 128MB), size= 64MB: write-back, count=1
+ reg02: base=0xf8000000 (3968MB), size= 4MB: write-combining, count=1
+
+This is for video RAM at base address 0xf8000000 and size 4 megabytes. To
+find out your base address, you need to look at the output of your X
+server, which tells you where the linear framebuffer address is. A
+typical line that you may get is::
+
+ (--) S3: PCI: 968 rev 0, Linear FB @ 0xf8000000
+
+Note that you should only use the value from the X server, as it may
+move the framebuffer base address, so the only value you can trust is
+that reported by the X server.
+
+To find out the size of your framebuffer (what, you don't actually
+know?), the following line will tell you::
+
+ (--) S3: videoram: 4096k
+
+That's 4 megabytes, which is 0x400000 bytes (in hexadecimal).
+A patch is being written for XFree86 which will make this automatic:
+in other words the X server will manipulate /proc/mtrr using the
+ioctl() interface, so users won't have to do anything. If you use a
+commercial X server, lobby your vendor to add support for MTRRs.
+
+
+Creating overlapping MTRRs
+==========================
+::
+
+ %echo "base=0xfb000000 size=0x1000000 type=write-combining" >/proc/mtrr
+ %echo "base=0xfb000000 size=0x1000 type=uncachable" >/proc/mtrr
+
+And the results::
+
+ % cat /proc/mtrr
+ reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 64MB: write-back, count=1
+ reg01: base=0xfb000000 (4016MB), size= 16MB: write-combining, count=1
+ reg02: base=0xfb000000 (4016MB), size= 4kB: uncachable, count=1
+
+Some cards (especially Voodoo Graphics boards) need this 4 kB area
+excluded from the beginning of the region because it is used for
+registers.
+
+NOTE: You can only create type=uncachable region, if the first
+region that you created is type=write-combining.
+
+
+Removing MTRRs from the C-shel
+==============================
+::
+
+ % echo "disable=2" >! /proc/mtrr
+
+or using bash::
+
+ % echo "disable=2" >| /proc/mtrr
+

-===============================================================================
-Phasing out MTRR use
-
-MTRR use is replaced on modern x86 hardware with PAT. Direct MTRR use by
-drivers on Linux is now completely phased out, device drivers should use
-arch_phys_wc_add() in combination with ioremap_wc() to make MTRR effective on
-non-PAT systems while a no-op but equally effective on PAT enabled systems.
-
-Even if Linux does not use MTRRs directly, some x86 platform firmware may still
-set up MTRRs early before booting the OS. They do this as some platform
-firmware may still have implemented access to MTRRs which would be controlled
-and handled by the platform firmware directly. An example of platform use of
-MTRRs is through the use of SMI handlers, one case could be for fan control,
-the platform code would need uncachable access to some of its fan control
-registers. Such platform access does not need any Operating System MTRR code in
-place other than mtrr_type_lookup() to ensure any OS specific mapping requests
-are aligned with platform MTRR setup. If MTRRs are only set up by the platform
-firmware code though and the OS does not make any specific MTRR mapping
-requests mtrr_type_lookup() should always return MTRR_TYPE_INVALID.
-
-For details refer to Documentation/x86/pat.txt.

+PAT (Page Attribute Table)
+==========================
+
+x86 Page Attribute Table (PAT) allows for setting the memory attribute at the
+page level granularity. PAT is complementary to the MTRR settings which allows
+for setting of memory types over physical address ranges. However, PAT is
+more flexible than MTRR due to its capability to set attributes at page level
+and also due to the fact that there are no hardware limitations on number of
+such attribute settings allowed. Added flexibility comes with guidelines for
+not having memory type aliasing for the same physical memory with multiple
+virtual addresses.
+
+PAT allows for different types of memory attributes. The most commonly used
+ones that will be supported at this time are:
+
+=== ==============
+WB Write-back
+UC Uncached
+WC Write-combined
+WT Write-through
+UC- Uncached Minus
+=== ==============
+
+
+PAT APIs
+========
+
+There are many different APIs in the kernel that allows setting of memory
+attributes at the page level. In order to avoid aliasing, these interfaces
+should be used thoughtfully. Below is a table of interfaces available,
+their intended usage and their memory attribute relationships. Internally,
+these APIs use a reserve_memtype()/free_memtype() interface on the physical
+address range to avoid any aliasing.

+Advanced APIs for drivers
+=========================
+
+A. Exporting pages to users with remap_pfn_range, io_remap_pfn_range,
+vmf_insert_pfn.
+
+Drivers wanting to export some pages to userspace do it by using mmap
+interface and a combination of:
+
+ 1) pgprot_noncached()
+ 2) io_remap_pfn_range() or remap_pfn_range() or vmf_insert_pfn()
+
+With PAT support, a new API pgprot_writecombine is being added. So, drivers can
+continue to use the above sequence, with either pgprot_noncached() or
+pgprot_writecombine() in step 1, followed by step 2.
+
+In addition, step 2 internally tracks the region as UC or WC in memtype
+list in order to ensure no conflicting mapping.
+
+Note that this set of APIs only works with IO (non RAM) regions. If driver
+wants to export a RAM region, it has to do set_memory_uc() or set_memory_wc()
+as step 0 above and also track the usage of those pages and use set_memory_wb()
+before the page is freed to free pool.
+
+MTRR effects on PAT / non-PAT systems
+=====================================
+
+The following table provides the effects of using write-combining MTRRs when
+using ioremap*() calls on x86 for both non-PAT and PAT systems. Ideally
+mtrr_add() usage will be phased out in favor of arch_phys_wc_add() which will
+be a no-op on PAT enabled systems. The region over which a arch_phys_wc_add()
+is made, should already have been ioremapped with WC attributes or PAT entries,
+this can be done by using ioremap_wc() / set_memory_wc(). Devices which
+combine areas of IO memory desired to remain uncacheable with areas where
+write-combining is desirable should consider use of ioremap_uc() followed by
+set_memory_wc() to white-list effective write-combined areas. Such use is
+nevertheless discouraged as the effective memory type is considered
+implementation defined, yet this strategy can be used as last resort on devices
+with size-constrained regions where otherwise MTRR write-combining would
+otherwise not be effective.

+
+For ioremap and pci access through /sys or /proc - The actual type returned

+For example: If there is an existing uncached mapping, a new ioremap_wc can

+
+set_memory_[uc|wc|wt] and set_memory_wb should be used in pairs, where driver
+will first make a region uc, wc or wt and switch it back to wb after use.
+
+Over time writes to /proc/mtrr will be deprecated in favor of using PAT based
+interfaces. Users writing to /proc/mtrr are suggested to use above interfaces.
+
+Drivers should use ioremap_[uc|wc] to access PCI BARs with [uc|wc] access

processors tasks run on.

A single socket system which has real-time tasks running on core 4-7 and
non real-time workload assigned to core 0-3. The real-time tasks share text
and data, so a per task association is not required and due to interaction
with the kernel it's desired that the kernel on these cores shares L3 with
the tasks.

+===========================
+AMD64 Specific Boot Options
+===========================
+
+There are many others (usually documented in driver documentation), but
+only the AMD64 specific ones are listed here.
+
+Machine check
+=============
+Please see Documentation/x86/x86_64/machinecheck.rst for sysfs runtime tunables.
+
+ mce=off
+ Disable machine check
+ mce=no_cmci
+ Disable CMCI(Corrected Machine Check Interrupt) that
+ Intel processor supports. Usually this disablement is
+ not recommended, but it might be handy if your hardware
+ is misbehaving.
+ Note that you'll get more problems without CMCI than with
+ due to the shared banks, i.e. you might get duplicated
+ error logs.
+ mce=dont_log_ce
+ Don't make logs for corrected errors. All events reported
+ as corrected are silently cleared by OS.
+ This option will be useful if you have no interest in any
+ of corrected errors.
+ mce=ignore_ce
+ Disable features for corrected errors, e.g. polling timer
+ and CMCI. All events reported as corrected are not cleared
+ by OS and remained in its error banks.
+ Usually this disablement is not recommended, however if
+ there is an agent checking/clearing corrected errors
+ (e.g. BIOS or hardware monitoring applications), conflicting
+ with OS's error handling, and you cannot deactivate the agent,
+ then this option will be a help.
+ mce=no_lmce
+ Do not opt-in to Local MCE delivery. Use legacy method
+ to broadcast MCEs.
+ mce=bootlog
+ Enable logging of machine checks left over from booting.
+ Disabled by default on AMD Fam10h and older because some BIOS
+ leave bogus ones.
+ If your BIOS doesn't do that it's a good idea to enable though
+ to make sure you log even machine check events that result
+ in a reboot. On Intel systems it is enabled by default.
+ mce=nobootlog
+ Disable boot machine check logging.
+ mce=tolerancelevel[,monarchtimeout] (number,number)
+ tolerance levels:
+ 0: always panic on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
+ 1: panic or SIGBUS on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
+ 2: SIGBUS or log uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
+ 3: never panic or SIGBUS, log all errors (for testing only)
+ Default is 1
+ Can be also set using sysfs which is preferable.
+ monarchtimeout:
+ Sets the time in us to wait for other CPUs on machine checks. 0
+ to disable.
+ mce=bios_cmci_threshold
+ Don't overwrite the bios-set CMCI threshold. This boot option
+ prevents Linux from overwriting the CMCI threshold set by the
+ bios. Without this option, Linux always sets the CMCI
+ threshold to 1. Enabling this may make memory predictive failure
+ analysis less effective if the bios sets thresholds for memory
+ errors since we will not see details for all errors.
+ mce=recovery
+ Force-enable recoverable machine check code paths
+
+ nomce (for compatibility with i386)
+ same as mce=off
+
+ Everything else is in sysfs now.
+
+APICs
+=====
+
+ apic
+ Use IO-APIC. Default
+
+ noapic
+ Don't use the IO-APIC.
+
+ disableapic
+ Don't use the local APIC
+
+ nolapic
+ Don't use the local APIC (alias for i386 compatibility)
+
+ pirq=...
+ See Documentation/x86/i386/IO-APIC.rst
+
+ noapictimer
+ Don't set up the APIC timer
+
+ no_timer_check
+ Don't check the IO-APIC timer. This can work around
+ problems with incorrect timer initialization on some boards.
+
+ apicpmtimer
+ Do APIC timer calibration using the pmtimer. Implies
+ apicmaintimer. Useful when your PIT timer is totally broken.
+
+Timing
+======
+
+ notsc
+ Deprecated, use tsc=unstable instead.
+
+ nohpet
+ Don't use the HPET timer.
+
+Idle loop
+=========
+
+ idle=poll
+ Don't do power saving in the idle loop using HLT, but poll for rescheduling
+ event. This will make the CPUs eat a lot more power, but may be useful
+ to get slightly better performance in multiprocessor benchmarks. It also
+ makes some profiling using performance counters more accurate.
+ Please note that on systems with MONITOR/MWAIT support (like Intel EM64T
+ CPUs) this option has no performance advantage over the normal idle loop.
+ It may also interact badly with hyperthreading.
+
+Rebooting
+=========
+
+ reboot=b[ios] | t[riple] | k[bd] | a[cpi] | e[fi] [, [w]arm | [c]old]
+ bios
+ Use the CPU reboot vector for warm reset
+ warm
+ Don't set the cold reboot flag
+ cold
+ Set the cold reboot flag
+ triple
+ Force a triple fault (init)
+ kbd
+ Use the keyboard controller. cold reset (default)
+ acpi
+ Use the ACPI RESET_REG in the FADT. If ACPI is not configured or
+ the ACPI reset does not work, the reboot path attempts the reset
+ using the keyboard controller.
+ efi
+ Use efi reset_system runtime service. If EFI is not configured or
+ the EFI reset does not work, the reboot path attempts the reset using
+ the keyboard controller.
+
+ Using warm reset will be much faster especially on big memory
+ systems because the BIOS will not go through the memory check.
+ Disadvantage is that not all hardware will be completely reinitialized
+ on reboot so there may be boot problems on some systems.
+
+ reboot=force
+ Don't stop other CPUs on reboot. This can make reboot more reliable
+ in some cases.
+
+Non Executable Mappings
+=======================
+
+ noexec=on|off
+ on
+ Enable(default)
+ off
+ Disable
+
+NUMA
+====
+
+ numa=off
+ Only set up a single NUMA node spanning all memory.
+
+ numa=noacpi
+ Don't parse the SRAT table for NUMA setup
+
+ numa=fake=<size>[MG]
+ If given as a memory unit, fills all system RAM with nodes of
+ size interleaved over physical nodes.
+
+ numa=fake=<N>
+ If given as an integer, fills all system RAM with N fake nodes
+ interleaved over physical nodes.
+
+ numa=fake=<N>U
+ If given as an integer followed by 'U', it will divide each
+ physical node into N emulated nodes.
+
+ACPI
+====
+
+ acpi=off
+ Don't enable ACPI
+ acpi=ht
+ Use ACPI boot table parsing, but don't enable ACPI interpreter
+ acpi=force
+ Force ACPI on (currently not needed)
+ acpi=strict
+ Disable out of spec ACPI workarounds.
+ acpi_sci={edge,level,high,low}
+ Set up ACPI SCI interrupt.
+ acpi=noirq
+ Don't route interrupts
+ acpi=nocmcff
+ Disable firmware first mode for corrected errors. This
+ disables parsing the HEST CMC error source to check if
+ firmware has set the FF flag. This may result in
+ duplicate corrected error reports.
+
+PCI
+===
+
+ pci=off
+ Don't use PCI
+ pci=conf1
+ Use conf1 access.
+ pci=conf2
+ Use conf2 access.
+ pci=rom
+ Assign ROMs.
+ pci=assign-busses
+ Assign busses
+ pci=irqmask=MASK
+ Set PCI interrupt mask to MASK
+ pci=lastbus=NUMBER
+ Scan up to NUMBER busses, no matter what the mptable says.

-AMD64 specific boot options
-
-There are many others (usually documented in driver documentation), but
-only the AMD64 specific ones are listed here.
-
-Machine check
-
- Please see Documentation/x86/x86_64/machinecheck for sysfs runtime tunables.
-
- mce=off
- Disable machine check
- mce=no_cmci
- Disable CMCI(Corrected Machine Check Interrupt) that
- Intel processor supports. Usually this disablement is
- not recommended, but it might be handy if your hardware
- is misbehaving.
- Note that you'll get more problems without CMCI than with
- due to the shared banks, i.e. you might get duplicated
- error logs.
- mce=dont_log_ce
- Don't make logs for corrected errors. All events reported
- as corrected are silently cleared by OS.
- This option will be useful if you have no interest in any
- of corrected errors.
- mce=ignore_ce
- Disable features for corrected errors, e.g. polling timer
- and CMCI. All events reported as corrected are not cleared
- by OS and remained in its error banks.
- Usually this disablement is not recommended, however if
- there is an agent checking/clearing corrected errors
- (e.g. BIOS or hardware monitoring applications), conflicting
- with OS's error handling, and you cannot deactivate the agent,
- then this option will be a help.
- mce=no_lmce
- Do not opt-in to Local MCE delivery. Use legacy method
- to broadcast MCEs.
- mce=bootlog
- Enable logging of machine checks left over from booting.
- Disabled by default on AMD Fam10h and older because some BIOS
- leave bogus ones.
- If your BIOS doesn't do that it's a good idea to enable though
- to make sure you log even machine check events that result
- in a reboot. On Intel systems it is enabled by default.
- mce=nobootlog
- Disable boot machine check logging.
- mce=tolerancelevel[,monarchtimeout] (number,number)
- tolerance levels:
- 0: always panic on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
- 1: panic or SIGBUS on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
- 2: SIGBUS or log uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
- 3: never panic or SIGBUS, log all errors (for testing only)
- Default is 1
- Can be also set using sysfs which is preferable.
- monarchtimeout:
- Sets the time in us to wait for other CPUs on machine checks. 0
- to disable.
- mce=bios_cmci_threshold
- Don't overwrite the bios-set CMCI threshold. This boot option
- prevents Linux from overwriting the CMCI threshold set by the
- bios. Without this option, Linux always sets the CMCI
- threshold to 1. Enabling this may make memory predictive failure
- analysis less effective if the bios sets thresholds for memory
- errors since we will not see details for all errors.
- mce=recovery
- Force-enable recoverable machine check code paths
-
- nomce (for compatibility with i386): same as mce=off
-
- Everything else is in sysfs now.
-
-APICs
-
- apic Use IO-APIC. Default
-
- noapic Don't use the IO-APIC.
-
- disableapic Don't use the local APIC
-
- nolapic Don't use the local APIC (alias for i386 compatibility)
-
- pirq=... See Documentation/x86/i386/IO-APIC.txt
-
- noapictimer Don't set up the APIC timer
-
- no_timer_check Don't check the IO-APIC timer. This can work around
- problems with incorrect timer initialization on some boards.
- apicpmtimer
- Do APIC timer calibration using the pmtimer. Implies
- apicmaintimer. Useful when your PIT timer is totally
- broken.
-
-Timing
-
- notsc
- Deprecated, use tsc=unstable instead.
-
- nohpet
- Don't use the HPET timer.
-
-Idle loop
-
- idle=poll
- Don't do power saving in the idle loop using HLT, but poll for rescheduling
- event. This will make the CPUs eat a lot more power, but may be useful
- to get slightly better performance in multiprocessor benchmarks. It also
- makes some profiling using performance counters more accurate.
- Please note that on systems with MONITOR/MWAIT support (like Intel EM64T
- CPUs) this option has no performance advantage over the normal idle loop.
- It may also interact badly with hyperthreading.
-
-Rebooting
-
- reboot=b[ios] | t[riple] | k[bd] | a[cpi] | e[fi] [, [w]arm | [c]old]
- bios Use the CPU reboot vector for warm reset
- warm Don't set the cold reboot flag
- cold Set the cold reboot flag
- triple Force a triple fault (init)
- kbd Use the keyboard controller. cold reset (default)
- acpi Use the ACPI RESET_REG in the FADT. If ACPI is not configured or the
- ACPI reset does not work, the reboot path attempts the reset using
- the keyboard controller.
- efi Use efi reset_system runtime service. If EFI is not configured or the
- EFI reset does not work, the reboot path attempts the reset using
- the keyboard controller.
-
- Using warm reset will be much faster especially on big memory
- systems because the BIOS will not go through the memory check.
- Disadvantage is that not all hardware will be completely reinitialized
- on reboot so there may be boot problems on some systems.
-
- reboot=force
-
- Don't stop other CPUs on reboot. This can make reboot more reliable
- in some cases.
-
-Non Executable Mappings
-
- noexec=on|off
-
- on Enable(default)
- off Disable
-
-NUMA
-
- numa=off Only set up a single NUMA node spanning all memory.
-
- numa=noacpi Don't parse the SRAT table for NUMA setup
-
- numa=fake=<size>[MG]
- If given as a memory unit, fills all system RAM with nodes of
- size interleaved over physical nodes.
-
- numa=fake=<N>
- If given as an integer, fills all system RAM with N fake nodes
- interleaved over physical nodes.
-
- numa=fake=<N>U
- If given as an integer followed by 'U', it will divide each
- physical node into N emulated nodes.
-
-ACPI
-
- acpi=off Don't enable ACPI
- acpi=ht Use ACPI boot table parsing, but don't enable ACPI
- interpreter
- acpi=force Force ACPI on (currently not needed)
-
- acpi=strict Disable out of spec ACPI workarounds.
-
- acpi_sci={edge,level,high,low} Set up ACPI SCI interrupt.
-
- acpi=noirq Don't route interrupts
-
- acpi=nocmcff Disable firmware first mode for corrected errors. This
- disables parsing the HEST CMC error source to check if
- firmware has set the FF flag. This may result in
- duplicate corrected error reports.
-
-PCI
-
- pci=off Don't use PCI
- pci=conf1 Use conf1 access.
- pci=conf2 Use conf2 access.
- pci=rom Assign ROMs.
- pci=assign-busses Assign busses
- pci=irqmask=MASK Set PCI interrupt mask to MASK
- pci=lastbus=NUMBER Scan up to NUMBER busses, no matter what the mptable says.
- pci=noacpi Don't use ACPI to set up PCI interrupt routing.
-
-IOMMU (input/output memory management unit)
-
- Multiple x86-64 PCI-DMA mapping implementations exist, for example:

- 1. <lib/dma-direct.c>: use no hardware/software IOMMU at all
- (e.g. because you have < 3 GB memory).
- Kernel boot message: "PCI-DMA: Disabling IOMMU"

-
- 3. <arch/x86_64/kernel/pci-swiotlb.c> : Software IOMMU implementation. Used
- e.g. if there is no hardware IOMMU in the system and it is need because
- you have >3GB memory or told the kernel to us it (iommu=soft))

+Architecture defines a 64-bit virtual address. Implementations can support
+less. Currently supported are 48- and 57-bit virtual addresses. Bits 63
+through to the most-significant implemented bit are sign extended.
+This causes hole between user space and kernel addresses if you interpret them
+as unsigned.
+
+The direct mapping covers all memory in the system up to the highest
+memory address (this means in some cases it can also include PCI memory
+holes).
+
+vmalloc space is lazily synchronized into the different PML4/PML5 pages of
+the processes using the page fault handler, with init_top_pgt as
+reference.
+
+We map EFI runtime services in the 'efi_pgd' PGD in a 64Gb large virtual
+memory window (this size is arbitrary, it can be raised later if needed).
+The mappings are not part of any other kernel PGD and are only available
+during EFI runtime calls.
+
+Note that if CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY is enabled, the direct mapping of all
+physical memory, vmalloc/ioremap space and virtual memory map are randomized.
+Their order is preserved but their base will be offset early at boot time.
+
+Be very careful vs. KASLR when changing anything here. The KASLR address
+range must not overlap with anything except the KASAN shadow area, which is
+correct as KASAN disables KASLR.

-Complete virtual memory map with 4-level page tables
-====================================================
-
-Notes:
-
- - Negative addresses such as "-23 TB" are absolute addresses in bytes, counted down
- from the top of the 64-bit address space. It's easier to understand the layout
- when seen both in absolute addresses and in distance-from-top notation.
-
- For example 0xffffe90000000000 == -23 TB, it's 23 TB lower than the top of the
- 64-bit address space (ffffffffffffffff).
-
- Note that as we get closer to the top of the address space, the notation changes
- from TB to GB and then MB/KB.
-
- - "16M TB" might look weird at first sight, but it's an easier to visualize size
- notation than "16 EB", which few will recognize at first sight as 16 exabytes.
- It also shows it nicely how incredibly large 64-bit address space is.
