Also CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL may not be supported +on all architectures. + +Profiling data will only become accessible once debugfs has been +mounted: + + mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug + + +3. Customization +================ + +To enable profiling for specific files or directories, add a line +similar to the following to the respective kernel Makefile: + + For a single file (e.g. main.o): + GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := y + + For all files in one directory: + GCOV_PROFILE := y + +To exclude files from being profiled even when CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL +is specified, use: + + GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := n + and: + GCOV_PROFILE := n + +Only files which are linked to the main kernel image or are compiled as +kernel modules are supported by this mechanism. + + +4. Files +======== + +The gcov kernel support creates the following files in debugfs: + + /sys/kernel/debug/gcov + Parent directory for all gcov-related files. + + /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/reset + Global reset file: resets all coverage data to zero when + written to. + + /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/path/to/compile/dir/file.gcda + The actual gcov data file as understood by the gcov + tool.

This file is generated by gcc when compiling with + option -ftest-coverage. + + +5. Modules +========== + +Kernel modules may contain cleanup code which is only run during +module unload time. The gcov mechanism provides a means to collect +coverage data for such code by keeping a copy of the data associated +with the unloaded module. This data remains available through debugfs. +Once the module is loaded again, the associated coverage counters are +initialized with the data from its previous instantiation. + +This behavior can be deactivated by specifying the gcov_persist kernel +parameter: + + gcov_persist=0 + +At run-time, a user can also choose to discard data for an unloaded +module by writing to its data file or the global reset file. + + +6. Separated build and test machines +==================================== + +The gcov kernel profiling infrastructure is designed to work out-of-the +box for setups where kernels are built and run on the same machine. In +cases where the kernel runs on a separate machine, special preparations +must be made, depending on where the gcov tool is used: + +a) gcov is run on the TEST machine + +The gcov tool version on the test machine must be compatible with the +gcc version used for kernel build.

The devices cover the whole range - of standard device types (network, serial, etc.) and miscellaneous - devices (gpio, LCD, spi, etc). Also, since these devices are - implemented within the fpga fabric every instance of the device can be - synthesised with different options that change the behaviour. - - Each IP-core has a set of parameters which the FPGA designer can use to - control how the core is synthesized. Historically, the EDK tool would - extract the device parameters relevant to device drivers and copy them - into an 'xparameters.h' in the form of #define symbols. This tells the - device drivers how the IP cores are configured, but it requres the kernel - to be recompiled every time the FPGA bitstream is resynthesized. - - The new approach is to export the parameters into the device tree and - generate a new device tree each time the FPGA bitstream changes. The - parameters which used to be exported as #defines will now become - properties of the device node. In general, device nodes for IP-cores - will take the following form: - - (name): (generic-name)@(base-address) { - compatible = "xlnx,(ip-core-name)-(HW_VER)" - [, (list of compatible devices), ...]; - reg = <(baseaddr) (size)>; - interrupt-parent = <&interrupt-controller-phandle>; - interrupts = < ... >; - xlnx,(parameter1) = "(string-value)"; - xlnx,(parameter2) = <(int-value)>; - }; - - (generic-name): an open firmware-style name that describes the - generic class of device. Preferably, this is one word, such - as 'serial' or 'ethernet'. - (ip-core-name): the name of the ip block (given after the BEGIN - directive in system.mhs). Should be in lowercase - and all underscores '_' converted to dashes '-'. - (name): is derived from the "PARAMETER INSTANCE" value. - (parameter#): C_* parameters from system.mhs. The C_ prefix is - dropped from the parameter name, the name is converted - to lowercase and all underscore '_' characters are - converted to dashes '-'. - (baseaddr): the baseaddr parameter value (often named C_BASEADDR). - (HW_VER): from the HW_VER parameter. - (size): the address range size (often C_HIGHADDR - C_BASEADDR + 1). - - Typically, the compatible list will include the exact IP core version - followed by an older IP core version which implements the same - interface or any other device with the same interface. - - 'reg', 'interrupt-parent' and 'interrupts' are all optional properties. - - For example, the following block from system.mhs: - - BEGIN opb_uartlite - PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_uartlite_0 - PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.b - PARAMETER C_BAUDRATE = 115200 - PARAMETER C_DATA_BITS = 8 - PARAMETER C_ODD_PARITY = 0 - PARAMETER C_USE_PARITY = 0 - PARAMETER C_CLK_FREQ = 50000000 - PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xEC100000 - PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xEC10FFFF - BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_7 - PORT OPB_Clk = CLK_50MHz - PORT Interrupt = opb_uartlite_0_Interrupt - PORT RX = opb_uartlite_0_RX - PORT TX = opb_uartlite_0_TX - PORT OPB_Rst = sys_bus_reset_0 - END - - becomes the following device tree node: - - opb_uartlite_0: serial@ec100000 { - device_type = "serial"; - compatible = "xlnx,opb-uartlite-1.00.b"; - reg = <ec100000 10000>; - interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>; - interrupts = <1 0>; // got this from the opb_intc parameters - current-speed = <d#115200>; // standard serial device prop - clock-frequency = <d#50000000>; // standard serial device prop - xlnx,data-bits = <8>; - xlnx,odd-parity = <0>; - xlnx,use-parity = <0>; - }; - - Some IP cores actually implement 2 or more logical devices. In - this case, the device should still describe the whole IP core with - a single node and add a child node for each logical device. The - ranges property can be used to translate from parent IP-core to the - registers of each device. In addition, the parent node should be - compatible with the bus type 'xlnx,compound', and should contain - #address-cells and #size-cells, as with any other bus. (Note: this - makes the assumption that both logical devices have the same bus - binding. If this is not true, then separate nodes should be used - for each logical device). The 'cell-index' property can be used to - enumerate logical devices within an IP core. For example, the - following is the system.mhs entry for the dual ps2 controller found - on the ml403 reference design. - - BEGIN opb_ps2_dual_ref - PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_ps2_dual_ref_0 - PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.a - PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xA9000000 - PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xA9001FFF - BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_v20_0 - PORT Sys_Intr1 = ps2_1_intr - PORT Sys_Intr2 = ps2_2_intr - PORT Clkin1 = ps2_clk_rx_1 - PORT Clkin2 = ps2_clk_rx_2 - PORT Clkpd1 = ps2_clk_tx_1 - PORT Clkpd2 = ps2_clk_tx_2 - PORT Rx1 = ps2_d_rx_1 - PORT Rx2 = ps2_d_rx_2 - PORT Txpd1 = ps2_d_tx_1 - PORT Txpd2 = ps2_d_tx_2 - END - - It would result in the following device tree nodes: - - opb_ps2_dual_ref_0: opb-ps2-dual-ref@a9000000 { - #address-cells = <1>; - #size-cells = <1>; - compatible = "xlnx,compound"; - ranges = <0 a9000000 2000>; - // If this device had extra parameters, then they would - // go here. - ps2@0 { - compatible = "xlnx,opb-ps2-dual-ref-1.00.a"; - reg = <0 40>; - interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>; - interrupts = <3 0>; - cell-index = <0>; - }; - ps2@1000 { - compatible = "xlnx,opb-ps2-dual-ref-1.00.a"; - reg = <1000 40>; - interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>; - interrupts = <3 0>; - cell-index = <0>; - }; - }; - - Also, the system.mhs file defines bus attachments from the processor - to the devices.

Optional platform-dependent registers - (debug-port or other) can be also specified here, but only after - definition of standard EHCI registers. - - interrupts : one EHCI interrupt should be described here. - If device registers are implemented in big endian mode, the device - node should have "big-endian-regs" property. - If controller implementation operates with big endian descriptors, - "big-endian-desc" property should be specified. - If both big endian registers and descriptors are used by the controller - implementation, "big-endian" property can be specified instead of having - both "big-endian-regs" and "big-endian-desc". - - Example (Sequoia 440EPx): - ehci@e0000300 { - compatible = "ibm,usb-ehci-440epx", "usb-ehci"; - interrupt-parent = <&UIC0>; - interrupts = <1a 4>; - reg = <0 e0000300 90 0 e0000390 70>; - big-endian; - }; - - f) MDIO on GPIOs - - Currently defined compatibles: - - virtual,gpio-mdio - - MDC and MDIO lines connected to GPIO controllers are listed in the - gpios property as described in section VIII.1 in the following order: - - MDC, MDIO. - - Example: - - mdio { - compatible = "virtual,mdio-gpio"; - #address-cells = <1>; - #size-cells = <0>; - gpios = <&qe_pio_a 11 - &qe_pio_c 6>; - }; - - g) SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) busses - - SPI busses can be described with a node for the SPI master device - and a set of child nodes for each SPI slave on the bus.

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. - - SPI slave nodes must be children of the SPI master node and can - contain the following properties. - - reg - (required) chip select address of device. - - compatible - (required) name of SPI device following generic names - recommended practice - - spi-max-frequency - (required) Maximum SPI clocking speed of device in Hz - - spi-cpol - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires - inverse clock polarity (CPOL) mode - - spi-cpha - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires - shifted clock phase (CPHA) mode - - spi-cs-high - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires - chip select active high - - 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"; - spi-max-frequency = <1000000>; - reg = <0>; - }; - - codec@1 { - compatible = "ti,tlv320aic26"; - spi-max-frequency = <100000>; - reg = <1>; - }; - }; - -VII - Marvell Discovery mv64[345]6x System Controller chips -=========================================================== - -The Marvell mv64[345]60 series of system controller chips contain -many of the peripherals needed to implement a complete computer -system.

This assumption is +ok for the serial and parallel port, where you can do something +useful besides(!) the gathering of timestamps as it is the central +task for a PPS-API. But this assumption does not work for a single +purpose GPIO line. In this case even basic file-related functionality +(like read() and write()) makes no sense at all and should not be a +precondition for the use of a PPS-API. + +The problem can be simply solved if you consider that a PPS source is +not always connected with a GPS data source. + +So your programs should check if the GPS data source (the serial port +for instance) is a PPS source too, and if not they should provide the +possibility to open another device as PPS source. + +In LinuxPPS the PPS sources are simply char devices usually mapped +into files /dev/pps0, /dev/pps1, etc.. + + +Coding example +-------------- + +To register a PPS source into the kernel you should define a struct +pps_source_info_s as follows: + + static struct pps_source_info pps_ktimer_info = { + .name = "ktimer", + .path = "", + .mode = PPS_CAPTUREASSERT | PPS_OFFSETASSERT | \ + PPS_ECHOASSERT | \ + PPS_CANWAIT | PPS_TSFMT_TSPEC, + .echo = pps_ktimer_echo, + .owner = THIS_MODULE, + }; + +and then calling the function pps_register_source() in your +intialization routine as follows: + + source = pps_register_source(&pps_ktimer_info, + PPS_CAPTUREASSERT | PPS_OFFSETASSERT); + +The pps_register_source() prototype is: + + int pps_register_source(struct pps_source_info_s *info, int default_params) + +where "info" is a pointer to a structure that describes a particular +PPS source, "default_params" tells the system what the initial default +parameters for the device should be (it is obvious that these parameters +must be a subset of ones defined in the struct +pps_source_info_s which describe the capabilities of the driver). + +Once you have registered a new PPS source into the system you can +signal an assert event (for example in the interrupt handler routine) +just using: + + pps_event(source, &ts, PPS_CAPTUREASSERT, ptr) + +where "ts" is the event's timestamp. + +The same function may also run the defined echo function +(pps_ktimer_echo(), passing to it the "ptr" pointer) if the user +asked for that... etc.. + +Please see the file drivers/pps/clients/ktimer.c for example code. + + +SYSFS support +------------- + +If the SYSFS filesystem is enabled in the kernel it provides a new class: + + $ ls /sys/class/pps/ + pps0/ pps1/ pps2/ + +Every directory is the ID of a PPS sources defined in the system and +inside you find several files: + + $ ls /sys/class/pps/pps0/ + assert clear echo mode name path subsystem@ uevent + +Inside each "assert" and "clear" file you can find the timestamp and a +sequence number: + + $ cat /sys/class/pps/pps0/assert + 1170026870.983207967#8 + +Where before the "#" is the timestamp in seconds; after it is the +sequence number.

Both the + watchdog functionality and the NMI sourcing capability need to be enabled + by the user. Remember that the two modes are not dependant on one another. + A user can have the NMI sourcing without the watchdog timer and vice-versa. + + Watchdog functionality is enabled like any other common watchdog driver.

Simply compile the C file and kick it off. If the system + gets into a bad state and hangs, the HP ProLiant iLO 2 timer register will + not be updated in a timely fashion and a hardware system reset (also known as + an Automatic Server Recovery (ASR)) event will occur. + + The hpwdt driver also has four (4) module parameters. They are the following: + + soft_margin - allows the user to set the watchdog timer value + allow_kdump - allows the user to save off a kernel dump image after an NMI + nowayout - basic watchdog parameter that does not allow the timer to + be restarted or an impending ASR to be escaped. + priority - determines whether or not the hpwdt driver is first on the + die_notify list to handle NMIs or last. The default value + for this module parameter is 0 or LAST. If the user wants to + enable NMI sourcing then reload the hpwdt driver with + priority=1 (and boot with nmi_watchdog=0). + + NOTE: More information about watchdog drivers in general, including the ioctl + interface to /dev/watchdog can be found in + Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt and Documentation/IPMI.txt. + + The priority parameter was introduced due to other kernel software that relied + on handling NMIs (like oprofile).
