+ Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC)
+
+CPPC defined in the ACPI spec describes a mechanism for the OS to manage the
+performance of a logical processor on a contigious and abstract performance
+scale. CPPC exposes a set of registers to describe abstract performance scale,
+to request performance levels and to measure per-cpu delivered performance.
+
+For more details on CPPC please refer to the ACPI specification at:
+
+http://uefi.org/specifications

+=================
+Concepts overview
+=================
+
+The memory management in Linux is complex system that evolved over the
+years and included more and more functionality to support variety of
+systems from MMU-less microcontrollers to supercomputers. The memory
+management for systems without MMU is called ``nommu`` and it
+definitely deserves a dedicated document, which hopefully will be
+eventually written. Yet, although some of the concepts are the same,
+here we assume that MMU is available and CPU can translate a virtual
+address to a physical address.
+
+.. contents:: :local:
+
+Virtual Memory Primer
+=====================
+
+The physical memory in a computer system is a limited resource and
+even for systems that support memory hotplug there is a hard limit on
+the amount of memory that can be installed. The physical memory is not
+necessary contiguous, it might be accessible as a set of distinct
+address ranges. Besides, different CPU architectures, and even
+different implementations of the same architecture have different view
+how these address ranges defined.
+
+All this makes dealing directly with physical memory quite complex and
+to avoid this complexity a concept of virtual memory was developed.
+
+The virtual memory abstracts the details of physical memory from the
+application software, allows to keep only needed information in the
+physical memory (demand paging) and provides a mechanism for the
+protection and controlled sharing of data between processes.
+
+With virtual memory, each and every memory access uses a virtual
+address. When the CPU decodes the an instruction that reads (or
+writes) from (or to) the system memory, it translates the `virtual`
+address encoded in that instruction to a `physical` address that the
+memory controller can understand.
+
+The physical system memory is divided into page frames, or pages. The
+size of each page is architecture specific. Some architectures allow
+selection of the page size from several supported values; this
+selection is performed at the kernel build time by setting an
+appropriate kernel configuration option.
+
+Each physical memory page can be mapped as one or more virtual
+pages. These mappings are described by page tables that allow
+translation from virtual address used by programs to real address in
+the physical memory. The page tables organized hierarchically.
+
+The tables at the lowest level of the hierarchy contain physical
+addresses of actual pages used by the software. The tables at higher
+levels contain physical addresses of the pages belonging to the lower
+levels. The pointer to the top level page table resides in a
+register. When the CPU performs the address translation, it uses this
+register to access the top level page table. The high bits of the
+virtual address are used to index an entry in the top level page
+table. That entry is then used to access the next level in the
+hierarchy with the next bits of the virtual address as the index to
+that level page table. The lowest bits in the virtual address define
+the offset inside the actual page.
+
+Huge Pages
+==========
+
+The address translation requires several memory accesses and memory
+accesses are slow relatively to CPU speed. To avoid spending precious
+processor cycles on the address translation, CPUs maintain a cache of
+such translations called Translation Lookaside Buffer (or
+TLB). Usually TLB is pretty scarce resource and applications with
+large memory working set will experience performance hit because of
+TLB misses.
+
+Many modern CPU architectures allow mapping of the memory pages
+directly by the higher levels in the page table. For instance, on x86,
+it is possible to map 2M and even 1G pages using entries in the second
+and the third level page tables. In Linux such pages are called
+`huge`. Usage of huge pages significantly reduces pressure on TLB,
+improves TLB hit-rate and thus improves overall system performance.
+
+There are two mechanisms in Linux that enable mapping of the physical
+memory with the huge pages. The first one is `HugeTLB filesystem`, or
+hugetlbfs. It is a pseudo filesystem that uses RAM as its backing
+store. For the files created in this filesystem the data resides in
+the memory and mapped using huge pages. The hugetlbfs is described at
+:ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/mm/hugetlbpage.rst <hugetlbpage>`.
+
+Another, more recent, mechanism that enables use of the huge pages is
+called `Transparent HugePages`, or THP. Unlike the hugetlbfs that
+requires users and/or system administrators to configure what parts of
+the system memory should and can be mapped by the huge pages, THP
+manages such mappings transparently to the user and hence the
+name. See
+:ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst <admin_guide_transhuge>`
+for more details about THP.
+
+Zones
+=====
+
+Often hardware poses restrictions on how different physical memory
+ranges can be accessed. In some cases, devices cannot perform DMA to
+all the addressable memory. In other cases, the size of the physical
+memory exceeds the maximal addressable size of virtual memory and
+special actions are required to access portions of the memory. Linux
+groups memory pages into `zones` according to their possible
+usage. For example, ZONE_DMA will contain memory that can be used by
+devices for DMA, ZONE_HIGHMEM will contain memory that is not
+permanently mapped into kernel's address space and ZONE_NORMAL will
+contain normally addressed pages.
+
+The actual layout of the memory zones is hardware dependent as not all
+architectures define all zones, and requirements for DMA are different
+for different platforms.
+
+Nodes
+=====
+
+Many multi-processor machines are NUMA - Non-Uniform Memory Access -
+systems. In such systems the memory is arranged into banks that have
+different access latency depending on the "distance" from the
+processor. Each bank is referred as `node` and for each node Linux
+constructs an independent memory management subsystem. A node has it's
+own set of zones, lists of free and used pages and various statistics
+counters. You can find more details about NUMA in
+:ref:`Documentation/vm/numa.rst <numa>` and in
+:ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/mm/numa_memory_policy.rst <numa_memory_policy>`.
+
+Page cache
+==========
+
+The physical memory is volatile and the common case for getting data
+into the memory is to read it from files. Whenever a file is read, the
+data is put into the `page cache` to avoid expensive disk access on
+the subsequent reads. Similarly, when one writes to a file, the data
+is placed in the page cache and eventually gets into the backing
+storage device. The written pages are marked as `dirty` and when Linux
+decides to reuse them for other purposes, it makes sure to synchronize
+the file contents on the device with the updated data.
+
+Anonymous Memory
+================
+
+The `anonymous memory` or `anonymous mappings` represent memory that
+is not backed by a filesystem. Such mappings are implicitly created
+for program's stack and heap or by explicit calls to mmap(2) system
+call. Usually, the anonymous mappings only define virtual memory areas
+that the program is allowed to access. The read accesses will result
+in creation of a page table entry that references a special physical
+page filled with zeroes. When the program performs a write, regular
+physical page will be allocated to hold the written data. The page
+will be marked dirty and if the kernel will decide to repurpose it,
+the dirty page will be swapped out.
+
+Reclaim
+=======
+
+Throughout the system lifetime, a physical page can be used for storing
+different types of data. It can be kernel internal data structures,
+DMA'able buffers for device drivers use, data read from a filesystem,
+memory allocated by user space processes etc.
+
+Depending on the page usage it is treated differently by the Linux
+memory management. The pages that can be freed at any time, either
+because they cache the data available elsewhere, for instance, on a
+hard disk, or because they can be swapped out, again, to the hard
+disk, are called `reclaimable`. The most notable categories of the
+reclaimable pages are page cache and anonymous memory.
+
+In most cases, the pages holding internal kernel data and used as DMA
+buffers cannot be repurposed, and they remain pinned until freed by
+their user. Such pages are called `unreclaimable`. However, in certain
+circumstances, even pages occupied with kernel data structures can be
+reclaimed. For instance, in-memory caches of filesystem metadata can
+be re-read from the storage device and therefore it is possible to
+discard them from the main memory when system is under memory
+pressure.
+
+The process of freeing the reclaimable physical memory pages and
+repurposing them is called (surprise!) `reclaim`. Linux can reclaim
+pages either asynchronously or synchronously, depending on the state
+of the system. When system is not loaded, most of the memory is free
+and allocation request will be satisfied immediately from the free
+pages supply. As the load increases, the amount of the free pages goes
+down and when it reaches a certain threshold (high watermark), an
+allocation request will awaken the ``kswapd`` daemon. It will
+asynchronously scan memory pages and either just free them if the data
+they contain is available elsewhere, or evict to the backing storage
+device (remember those dirty pages?). As memory usage increases even
+more and reaches another threshold - min watermark - an allocation
+will trigger the `direct reclaim`. In this case allocation is stalled
+until enough memory pages are reclaimed to satisfy the request.
+
+Compaction
+==========
+
+As the system runs, tasks allocate and free the memory and it becomes
+fragmented. Although with virtual memory it is possible to present
+scattered physical pages as virtually contiguous range, sometimes it is
+necessary to allocate large physically contiguous memory areas. Such
+need may arise, for instance, when a device driver requires large
+buffer for DMA, or when THP allocates a huge page. Memory `compaction`
+addresses the fragmentation issue. This mechanism moves occupied pages
+from the lower part of a memory zone to free pages in the upper part
+of the zone. When a compaction scan is finished free pages are grouped
+together at the beginning of the zone and allocations of large
+physically contiguous areas become possible.
+
+Like reclaim, the compaction may happen asynchronously in ``kcompactd``
+daemon or synchronously as a result of memory allocation request.
+
+OOM killer
+==========
+
+It may happen, that on a loaded machine memory will be exhausted. When
+the kernel detects that the system runs out of memory (OOM) it invokes
+`OOM killer`. Its mission is simple: all it has to do is to select a
+task to sacrifice for the sake of the overall system health. The
+selected task is killed in a hope that after it exits enough memory
+will be freed to continue normal operation.

+
+=======================
+Kernel Samepage Merging
+=======================
+
+Overview
+========
+
+KSM is a memory-saving de-duplication feature, enabled by CONFIG_KSM=y,
+added to the Linux kernel in 2.6.32. See ``mm/ksm.c`` for its implementation,
+and http://lwn.net/Articles/306704/ and http://lwn.net/Articles/330589/
+
+KSM was originally developed for use with KVM (where it was known as
+Kernel Shared Memory), to fit more virtual machines into physical memory,
+by sharing the data common between them. But it can be useful to any
+application which generates many instances of the same data.
+
+The KSM daemon ksmd periodically scans those areas of user memory
+which have been registered with it, looking for pages of identical
+content which can be replaced by a single write-protected page (which
+is automatically copied if a process later wants to update its
+content). The amount of pages that KSM daemon scans in a single pass
+and the time between the passes are configured using :ref:`sysfs
+intraface <ksm_sysfs>`
+
+KSM only merges anonymous (private) pages, never pagecache (file) pages.
+KSM's merged pages were originally locked into kernel memory, but can now
+be swapped out just like other user pages (but sharing is broken when they
+are swapped back in: ksmd must rediscover their identity and merge again).
+
+Controlling KSM with madvise
+============================
+
+KSM only operates on those areas of address space which an application
+has advised to be likely candidates for merging, by using the madvise(2)
+system call::
+
+ int madvise(addr, length, MADV_MERGEABLE)
+
+The app may call
+
+::
+
+ int madvise(addr, length, MADV_UNMERGEABLE)
+
+to cancel that advice and restore unshared pages: whereupon KSM
+unmerges whatever it merged in that range. Note: this unmerging call
+may suddenly require more memory than is available - possibly failing
+with EAGAIN, but more probably arousing the Out-Of-Memory killer.
+
+If KSM is not configured into the running kernel, madvise MADV_MERGEABLE
+and MADV_UNMERGEABLE simply fail with EINVAL. If the running kernel was
+built with CONFIG_KSM=y, those calls will normally succeed: even if the
+the KSM daemon is not currently running, MADV_MERGEABLE still registers
+the range for whenever the KSM daemon is started; even if the range
+cannot contain any pages which KSM could actually merge; even if
+MADV_UNMERGEABLE is applied to a range which was never MADV_MERGEABLE.
+
+If a region of memory must be split into at least one new MADV_MERGEABLE
+or MADV_UNMERGEABLE region, the madvise may return ENOMEM if the process
+will exceed ``vm.max_map_count`` (see Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt).
+
+Like other madvise calls, they are intended for use on mapped areas of
+the user address space: they will report ENOMEM if the specified range
+includes unmapped gaps (though working on the intervening mapped areas),
+and might fail with EAGAIN if not enough memory for internal structures.
+
+Applications should be considerate in their use of MADV_MERGEABLE,
+restricting its use to areas likely to benefit. KSM's scans may use a lot
+of processing power: some installations will disable KSM for that reason.
+
+.. _ksm_sysfs:
+
+KSM daemon sysfs interface
+==========================
+
+The KSM daemon is controlled by sysfs files in ``/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/``,
+readable by all but writable only by root:
+
+pages_to_scan
+ how many pages to scan before ksmd goes to sleep
+ e.g. ``echo 100 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_to_scan``.
+
+ Default: 100 (chosen for demonstration purposes)
+
+sleep_millisecs
+ how many milliseconds ksmd should sleep before next scan
+ e.g. ``echo 20 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs``
+
+ Default: 20 (chosen for demonstration purposes)
+
+merge_across_nodes
+ specifies if pages from different NUMA nodes can be merged.
+ When set to 0, ksm merges only pages which physically reside
+ in the memory area of same NUMA node. That brings lower
+ latency to access of shared pages. Systems with more nodes, at
+ significant NUMA distances, are likely to benefit from the
+ lower latency of setting 0. Smaller systems, which need to
+ minimize memory usage, are likely to benefit from the greater
+ sharing of setting 1 (default). You may wish to compare how
+ your system performs under each setting, before deciding on
+ which to use. ``merge_across_nodes`` setting can be changed only
+ when there are no ksm shared pages in the system: set run 2 to
+ unmerge pages first, then to 1 after changing
+ ``merge_across_nodes``, to remerge according to the new setting.
+
+ Default: 1 (merging across nodes as in earlier releases)
+
+run
+ * set to 0 to stop ksmd from running but keep merged pages,
+ * set to 1 to run ksmd e.g. ``echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run``,
+ * set to 2 to stop ksmd and unmerge all pages currently merged, but
+ leave mergeable areas registered for next run.
+
+ Default: 0 (must be changed to 1 to activate KSM, except if
+ CONFIG_SYSFS is disabled)
+
+use_zero_pages
+ specifies whether empty pages (i.e. allocated pages that only
+ contain zeroes) should be treated specially. When set to 1,
+ empty pages are merged with the kernel zero page(s) instead of
+ with each other as it would happen normally. This can improve
+ the performance on architectures with coloured zero pages,
+ depending on the workload. Care should be taken when enabling
+ this setting, as it can potentially degrade the performance of
+ KSM for some workloads, for example if the checksums of pages
+ candidate for merging match the checksum of an empty
+ page. This setting can be changed at any time, it is only
+ effective for pages merged after the change.
+
+ Default: 0 (normal KSM behaviour as in earlier releases)
+
+max_page_sharing
+ Maximum sharing allowed for each KSM page. This enforces a
+ deduplication limit to avoid high latency for virtual memory
+ operations that involve traversal of the virtual mappings that
+ share the KSM page. The minimum value is 2 as a newly created
+ KSM page will have at least two sharers. The higher this value
+ the faster KSM will merge the memory and the higher the
+ deduplication factor will be, but the slower the worst case
+ virtual mappings traversal could be for any given KSM
+ page. Slowing down this traversal means there will be higher
+ latency for certain virtual memory operations happening during
+ swapping, compaction, NUMA balancing and page migration, in
+ turn decreasing responsiveness for the caller of those virtual
+ memory operations. The scheduler latency of other tasks not
+ involved with the VM operations doing the virtual mappings
+ traversal is not affected by this parameter as these
+ traversals are always schedule friendly themselves.
+
+stable_node_chains_prune_millisecs
+ specifies how frequently KSM checks the metadata of the pages
+ that hit the deduplication limit for stale information.
+ Smaller milllisecs values will free up the KSM metadata with
+ lower latency, but they will make ksmd use more CPU during the
+ scan. It's a noop if not a single KSM page hit the
+ ``max_page_sharing`` yet.
+
+The effectiveness of KSM and MADV_MERGEABLE is shown in ``/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/``:
+
+pages_shared
+ how many shared pages are being used
+pages_sharing
+ how many more sites are sharing them i.e. how much saved
+pages_unshared
+ how many pages unique but repeatedly checked for merging
+pages_volatile
+ how many pages changing too fast to be placed in a tree
+full_scans
+ how many times all mergeable areas have been scanned
+stable_node_chains
+ the number of KSM pages that hit the ``max_page_sharing`` limit
+stable_node_dups
+ number of duplicated KSM pages
+
+A high ratio of ``pages_sharing`` to ``pages_shared`` indicates good
+sharing, but a high ratio of ``pages_unshared`` to ``pages_sharing``
+indicates wasted effort. ``pages_volatile`` embraces several
+different kinds of activity, but a high proportion there would also
+indicate poor use of madvise MADV_MERGEABLE.
+
+The maximum possible ``pages_sharing/pages_shared`` ratio is limited by the
+``max_page_sharing`` tunable. To increase the ratio ``max_page_sharing`` must
+be increased accordingly.

+takes priority. See :ref:`Memory Policies and cpusets <mem_pol_and_cpusets>`
+below for more details.
+
+Memory Policy Concepts
+======================
+
+Scope of Memory Policies
+------------------------
+
+The Linux kernel supports _scopes_ of memory policy, described here from
+most general to most specific:
+
+System Default Policy
+ this policy is "hard coded" into the kernel. It is the policy
+ that governs all page allocations that aren't controlled by
+ one of the more specific policy scopes discussed below. When
+ the system is "up and running", the system default policy will
+ use "local allocation" described below. However, during boot
+ up, the system default policy will be set to interleave
+ allocations across all nodes with "sufficient" memory, so as
+ not to overload the initial boot node with boot-time
+ allocations.
+
+Task/Process Policy
+ this is an optional, per-task policy. When defined for a
+ specific task, this policy controls all page allocations made
+ by or on behalf of the task that aren't controlled by a more
+ specific scope. If a task does not define a task policy, then
+ all page allocations that would have been controlled by the
+ task policy "fall back" to the System Default Policy.
+
+ The task policy applies to the entire address space of a task. Thus,
+ it is inheritable, and indeed is inherited, across both fork()
+ [clone() w/o the CLONE_VM flag] and exec*(). This allows a parent task
+ to establish the task policy for a child task exec()'d from an
+ executable image that has no awareness of memory policy. See the
+ :ref:`Memory Policy APIs <memory_policy_apis>` section,
+ below, for an overview of the system call
+ that a task may use to set/change its task/process policy.
+
+ In a multi-threaded task, task policies apply only to the thread
+ [Linux kernel task] that installs the policy and any threads
+ subsequently created by that thread. Any sibling threads existing
+ at the time a new task policy is installed retain their current
+ policy.
+
+ A task policy applies only to pages allocated after the policy is
+ installed. Any pages already faulted in by the task when the task
+ changes its task policy remain where they were allocated based on
+ the policy at the time they were allocated.
+
+.. _vma_policy:
+
+VMA Policy
+ A "VMA" or "Virtual Memory Area" refers to a range of a task's
+ virtual address space. A task may define a specific policy for a range
+ of its virtual address space. See the
+ :ref:`Memory Policy APIs <memory_policy_apis>` section,
+ below, for an overview of the mbind() system call used to set a VMA
+ policy.
+
+ A VMA policy will govern the allocation of pages that back
+ this region of the address space. Any regions of the task's
+ address space that don't have an explicit VMA policy will fall
+ back to the task policy, which may itself fall back to the
+ System Default Policy.
+
+ VMA policies have a few complicating details:
+
+ * VMA policy applies ONLY to anonymous pages. These include
+ pages allocated for anonymous segments, such as the task
+ stack and heap, and any regions of the address space
+ mmap()ed with the MAP_ANONYMOUS flag. If a VMA policy is
+ applied to a file mapping, it will be ignored if the mapping
+ used the MAP_SHARED flag. If the file mapping used the
+ MAP_PRIVATE flag, the VMA policy will only be applied when
+ an anonymous page is allocated on an attempt to write to the
+ mapping-- i.e., at Copy-On-Write.
+
+ * VMA policies are shared between all tasks that share a
+ virtual address space--a.k.a. threads--independent of when
+ the policy is installed; and they are inherited across
+ fork(). However, because VMA policies refer to a specific
+ region of a task's address space, and because the address
+ space is discarded and recreated on exec*(), VMA policies
+ are NOT inheritable across exec(). Thus, only NUMA-aware
+ applications may use VMA policies.
+
+ * A task may install a new VMA policy on a sub-range of a
+ previously mmap()ed region. When this happens, Linux splits
+ the existing virtual memory area into 2 or 3 VMAs, each with
+ it's own policy.
+
+ * By default, VMA policy applies only to pages allocated after
+ the policy is installed. Any pages already faulted into the
+ VMA range remain where they were allocated based on the
+ policy at the time they were allocated. However, since
+ 2.6.16, Linux supports page migration via the mbind() system
+ call, so that page contents can be moved to match a newly
+ installed policy.
+
+Shared Policy
+ Conceptually, shared policies apply to "memory objects" mapped
+ shared into one or more tasks' distinct address spaces. An
+ application installs shared policies the same way as VMA
+ policies--using the mbind() system call specifying a range of
+ virtual addresses that map the shared object. However, unlike
+ VMA policies, which can be considered to be an attribute of a
+ range of a task's address space, shared policies apply
+ directly to the shared object. Thus, all tasks that attach to
+ the object share the policy, and all pages allocated for the
+ shared object, by any task, will obey the shared policy.
+
+ As of 2.6.22, only shared memory segments, created by shmget() or
+ mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_SHARED), support shared policy. When shared
+ policy support was added to Linux, the associated data structures were
+ added to hugetlbfs shmem segments. At the time, hugetlbfs did not
+ support allocation at fault time--a.k.a lazy allocation--so hugetlbfs
+ shmem segments were never "hooked up" to the shared policy support.
+ Although hugetlbfs segments now support lazy allocation, their support
+ for shared policy has not been completed.
+
+ As mentioned above in :ref:`VMA policies <vma_policy>` section,
+ allocations of page cache pages for regular files mmap()ed
+ with MAP_SHARED ignore any VMA policy installed on the virtual
+ address range backed by the shared file mapping. Rather,
+ shared page cache pages, including pages backing private
+ mappings that have not yet been written by the task, follow
+ task policy, if any, else System Default Policy.
+
+ The shared policy infrastructure supports different policies on subset
+ ranges of the shared object. However, Linux still splits the VMA of
+ the task that installs the policy for each range of distinct policy.
+ Thus, different tasks that attach to a shared memory segment can have
+ different VMA configurations mapping that one shared object. This
+ can be seen by examining the /proc/<pid>/numa_maps of tasks sharing
+ a shared memory region, when one task has installed shared policy on
+ one or more ranges of the region.
+
+Components of Memory Policies
+-----------------------------
+
+A NUMA memory policy consists of a "mode", optional mode flags, and
+an optional set of nodes. The mode determines the behavior of the
+policy, the optional mode flags determine the behavior of the mode,
+and the optional set of nodes can be viewed as the arguments to the
+policy behavior.
+
+Internally, memory policies are implemented by a reference counted
+structure, struct mempolicy. Details of this structure will be
+discussed in context, below, as required to explain the behavior.
+
+NUMA memory policy supports the following 4 behavioral modes:
+
+Default Mode--MPOL_DEFAULT
+ This mode is only used in the memory policy APIs. Internally,
+ MPOL_DEFAULT is converted to the NULL memory policy in all
+ policy scopes. Any existing non-default policy will simply be
+ removed when MPOL_DEFAULT is specified. As a result,
+ MPOL_DEFAULT means "fall back to the next most specific policy
+ scope."
+
+ For example, a NULL or default task policy will fall back to the
+ system default policy. A NULL or default vma policy will fall
+ back to the task policy.
+
+ When specified in one of the memory policy APIs, the Default mode
+ does not use the optional set of nodes.
+
+ It is an error for the set of nodes specified for this policy to
+ be non-empty.
+
+MPOL_BIND
+ This mode specifies that memory must come from the set of
+ nodes specified by the policy. Memory will be allocated from
+ the node in the set with sufficient free memory that is
+ closest to the node where the allocation takes place.
+
+MPOL_PREFERRED
+ This mode specifies that the allocation should be attempted
+ from the single node specified in the policy. If that
+ allocation fails, the kernel will search other nodes, in order
+ of increasing distance from the preferred node based on
+ information provided by the platform firmware.
+
+ Internally, the Preferred policy uses a single node--the
+ preferred_node member of struct mempolicy. When the internal
+ mode flag MPOL_F_LOCAL is set, the preferred_node is ignored
+ and the policy is interpreted as local allocation. "Local"
+ allocation policy can be viewed as a Preferred policy that
+ starts at the node containing the cpu where the allocation
+ takes place.
+
+ It is possible for the user to specify that local allocation
+ is always preferred by passing an empty nodemask with this
+ mode. If an empty nodemask is passed, the policy cannot use
+ the MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES or MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flags
+ described below.
+
+MPOL_INTERLEAVED
+ This mode specifies that page allocations be interleaved, on a
+ page granularity, across the nodes specified in the policy.
+ This mode also behaves slightly differently, based on the
+ context where it is used:
+
+ For allocation of anonymous pages and shared memory pages,
+ Interleave mode indexes the set of nodes specified by the
+ policy using the page offset of the faulting address into the
+ segment [VMA] containing the address modulo the number of
+ nodes specified by the policy. It then attempts to allocate a
+ page, starting at the selected node, as if the node had been
+ specified by a Preferred policy or had been selected by a
+ local allocation. That is, allocation will follow the per
+ node zonelist.
+
+ For allocation of page cache pages, Interleave mode indexes
+ the set of nodes specified by the policy using a node counter
+ maintained per task. This counter wraps around to the lowest
+ specified node after it reaches the highest specified node.
+ This will tend to spread the pages out over the nodes
+ specified by the policy based on the order in which they are
+ allocated, rather than based on any page offset into an
+ address range or file. During system boot up, the temporary
+ interleaved system default policy works in this mode.
+
+NUMA memory policy supports the following optional mode flags:
+
+MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES
+ This flag specifies that the nodemask passed by
+ the user should not be remapped if the task or VMA's set of allowed
+ nodes changes after the memory policy has been defined.
+
+ Without this flag, any time a mempolicy is rebound because of a
+ change in the set of allowed nodes, the node (Preferred) or
+ nodemask (Bind, Interleave) is remapped to the new set of
+ allowed nodes. This may result in nodes being used that were
+ previously undesired.
+
+ With this flag, if the user-specified nodes overlap with the
+ nodes allowed by the task's cpuset, then the memory policy is
+ applied to their intersection. If the two sets of nodes do not
+ overlap, the Default policy is used.
+
+ For example, consider a task that is attached to a cpuset with
+ mems 1-3 that sets an Interleave policy over the same set. If
+ the cpuset's mems change to 3-5, the Interleave will now occur
+ over nodes 3, 4, and 5. With this flag, however, since only node
+ 3 is allowed from the user's nodemask, the "interleave" only
+ occurs over that node. If no nodes from the user's nodemask are
+ now allowed, the Default behavior is used.
+
+ MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES cannot be combined with the
+ MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flag. It also cannot be used for
+ MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask
+ (local allocation).
+
+MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES
+ This flag specifies that the nodemask passed
+ by the user will be mapped relative to the set of the task or VMA's
+ set of allowed nodes. The kernel stores the user-passed nodemask,
+ and if the allowed nodes changes, then that original nodemask will
+ be remapped relative to the new set of allowed nodes.
+
+ Without this flag (and without MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES), anytime a
+ mempolicy is rebound because of a change in the set of allowed
+ nodes, the node (Preferred) or nodemask (Bind, Interleave) is
+ remapped to the new set of allowed nodes. That remap may not
+ preserve the relative nature of the user's passed nodemask to its
+ set of allowed nodes upon successive rebinds: a nodemask of
+ 1,3,5 may be remapped to 7-9 and then to 1-3 if the set of
+ allowed nodes is restored to its original state.
+
+ With this flag, the remap is done so that the node numbers from
+ the user's passed nodemask are relative to the set of allowed
+ nodes. In other words, if nodes 0, 2, and 4 are set in the user's
+ nodemask, the policy will be effected over the first (and in the
+ Bind or Interleave case, the third and fifth) nodes in the set of
+ allowed nodes. The nodemask passed by the user represents nodes
+ relative to task or VMA's set of allowed nodes.
+
+ If the user's nodemask includes nodes that are outside the range
+ of the new set of allowed nodes (for example, node 5 is set in
+ the user's nodemask when the set of allowed nodes is only 0-3),
+ then the remap wraps around to the beginning of the nodemask and,
+ if not already set, sets the node in the mempolicy nodemask.
+
+ For example, consider a task that is attached to a cpuset with
+ mems 2-5 that sets an Interleave policy over the same set with
+ MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES. If the cpuset's mems change to 3-7, the
+ interleave now occurs over nodes 3,5-7. If the cpuset's mems
+ then change to 0,2-3,5, then the interleave occurs over nodes
+ 0,2-3,5.
+
+ Thanks to the consistent remapping, applications preparing
+ nodemasks to specify memory policies using this flag should
+ disregard their current, actual cpuset imposed memory placement
+ and prepare the nodemask as if they were always located on
+ memory nodes 0 to N-1, where N is the number of memory nodes the
+ policy is intended to manage. Let the kernel then remap to the
+ set of memory nodes allowed by the task's cpuset, as that may
+ change over time.
+
+ MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES cannot be combined with the
+ MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES flag. It also cannot be used for
+ MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask
+ (local allocation).
+
+Memory Policy Reference Counting
+================================
+
+To resolve use/free races, struct mempolicy contains an atomic reference
+count field. Internal interfaces, mpol_get()/mpol_put() increment and
+decrement this reference count, respectively. mpol_put() will only free
+the structure back to the mempolicy kmem cache when the reference count
+goes to zero.
+
+When a new memory policy is allocated, its reference count is initialized
+to '1', representing the reference held by the task that is installing the
+new policy. When a pointer to a memory policy structure is stored in another
+structure, another reference is added, as the task's reference will be dropped
+on completion of the policy installation.
+
+During run-time "usage" of the policy, we attempt to minimize atomic operations
+on the reference count, as this can lead to cache lines bouncing between cpus
+and NUMA nodes. "Usage" here means one of the following:
+
+1) querying of the policy, either by the task itself [using the get_mempolicy()
+ API discussed below] or by another task using the /proc/<pid>/numa_maps
+ interface.
+
+2) examination of the policy to determine the policy mode and associated node
+ or node lists, if any, for page allocation. This is considered a "hot
+ path". Note that for MPOL_BIND, the "usage" extends across the entire
+ allocation process, which may sleep during page reclaimation, because the
+ BIND policy nodemask is used, by reference, to filter ineligible nodes.
+
+We can avoid taking an extra reference during the usages listed above as
+follows:
+
+1) we never need to get/free the system default policy as this is never
+ changed nor freed, once the system is up and running.
+
+2) for querying the policy, we do not need to take an extra reference on the
+ target task's task policy nor vma policies because we always acquire the
+ task's mm's mmap_sem for read during the query. The set_mempolicy() and
+ mbind() APIs [see below] always acquire the mmap_sem for write when
+ installing or replacing task or vma policies. Thus, there is no possibility
+ of a task or thread freeing a policy while another task or thread is
+ querying it.
+
+3) Page allocation usage of task or vma policy occurs in the fault path where
+ we hold them mmap_sem for read. Again, because replacing the task or vma
+ policy requires that the mmap_sem be held for write, the policy can't be
+ freed out from under us while we're using it for page allocation.
+
+4) Shared policies require special consideration. One task can replace a
+ shared memory policy while another task, with a distinct mmap_sem, is
+ querying or allocating a page based on the policy. To resolve this
+ potential race, the shared policy infrastructure adds an extra reference
+ to the shared policy during lookup while holding a spin lock on the shared
+ policy management structure. This requires that we drop this extra
+ reference when we're finished "using" the policy. We must drop the
+ extra reference on shared policies in the same query/allocation paths
+ used for non-shared policies. For this reason, shared policies are marked
+ as such, and the extra reference is dropped "conditionally"--i.e., only
+ for shared policies.
+
+ Because of this extra reference counting, and because we must lookup
+ shared policies in a tree structure under spinlock, shared policies are
+ more expensive to use in the page allocation path. This is especially
+ true for shared policies on shared memory regions shared by tasks running
+ on different NUMA nodes. This extra overhead can be avoided by always
+ falling back to task or system default policy for shared memory regions,
+ or by prefaulting the entire shared memory region into memory and locking
+ it down. However, this might not be appropriate for all applications.
+
+.. _memory_policy_apis:
+
+Memory Policy APIs
+==================
+
+Linux supports 3 system calls for controlling memory policy. These APIS
+always affect only the calling task, the calling task's address space, or
+some shared object mapped into the calling task's address space.
+
+.. note::
+ the headers that define these APIs and the parameter data types for
+ user space applications reside in a package that is not part of the
+ Linux kernel. The kernel system call interfaces, with the 'sys\_'
+ prefix, are defined in <linux/syscalls.h>; the mode and flag
+ definitions are defined in <linux/mempolicy.h>.
+
+Set [Task] Memory Policy::
+
+ long set_mempolicy(int mode, const unsigned long *nmask,
+ unsigned long maxnode);
+
+Set's the calling task's "task/process memory policy" to mode
+specified by the 'mode' argument and the set of nodes defined by
+'nmask'. 'nmask' points to a bit mask of node ids containing at least
+'maxnode' ids. Optional mode flags may be passed by combining the
+'mode' argument with the flag (for example: MPOL_INTERLEAVE |
+MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES).
+
+See the set_mempolicy(2) man page for more details
+
+
+Get [Task] Memory Policy or Related Information::
+
+ long get_mempolicy(int *mode,
+ const unsigned long *nmask, unsigned long maxnode,
+ void *addr, int flags);
+
+Queries the "task/process memory policy" of the calling task, or the
+policy or location of a specified virtual address, depending on the
+'flags' argument.
+
+See the get_mempolicy(2) man page for more details
+
+
+Install VMA/Shared Policy for a Range of Task's Address Space::
+
+ long mbind(void *start, unsigned long len, int mode,
+ const unsigned long *nmask, unsigned long maxnode,
+ unsigned flags);
+
+mbind() installs the policy specified by (mode, nmask, maxnodes) as a
+VMA policy for the range of the calling task's address space specified
+by the 'start' and 'len' arguments. Additional actions may be
+requested via the 'flags' argument.
+
+See the mbind(2) man page for more details.
+
+Memory Policy Command Line Interface
+====================================
+
+Although not strictly part of the Linux implementation of memory policy,
+a command line tool, numactl(8), exists that allows one to:
+
++ set the task policy for a specified program via set_mempolicy(2), fork(2) and
+ exec(2)
+
++ set the shared policy for a shared memory segment via mbind(2)
+
+The numactl(8) tool is packaged with the run-time version of the library
+containing the memory policy system call wrappers. Some distributions
+package the headers and compile-time libraries in a separate development
+package.
+
+.. _mem_pol_and_cpusets:
+
+Memory Policies and cpusets
+===========================
+
+Memory policies work within cpusets as described above. For memory policies
+that require a node or set of nodes, the nodes are restricted to the set of
+nodes whose memories are allowed by the cpuset constraints. If the nodemask
+specified for the policy contains nodes that are not allowed by the cpuset and
+MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES is not used, the intersection of the set of nodes
+specified for the policy and the set of nodes with memory is used. If the
+result is the empty set, the policy is considered invalid and cannot be
+installed. If MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES is used, the policy's nodes are mapped
+onto and folded into the task's set of allowed nodes as previously described.
+
+The interaction of memory policies and cpusets can be problematic when tasks
+in two cpusets share access to a memory region, such as shared memory segments
+created by shmget() of mmap() with the MAP_ANONYMOUS and MAP_SHARED flags, and
+any of the tasks install shared policy on the region, only nodes whose
+memories are allowed in both cpusets may be used in the policies. Obtaining
+this information requires "stepping outside" the memory policy APIs to use the
+cpuset information and requires that one know in what cpusets other task might
+be attaching to the shared region. Furthermore, if the cpusets' allowed
+memory sets are disjoint, "local" allocation is the only valid policy.

+============================
+Transparent Hugepage Support
+============================
+
+Objective
+=========
+
+Performance critical computing applications dealing with large memory
+working sets are already running on top of libhugetlbfs and in turn
+hugetlbfs. Transparent HugePage Support (THP) is an alternative mean of
+using huge pages for the backing of virtual memory with huge pages
+that supports the automatic promotion and demotion of page sizes and
+without the shortcomings of hugetlbfs.
+
+Currently THP only works for anonymous memory mappings and tmpfs/shmem.
+But in the future it can expand to other filesystems.
+
+.. note::
+ in the examples below we presume that the basic page size is 4K and
+ the huge page size is 2M, although the actual numbers may vary
+ depending on the CPU architecture.
+
+The reason applications are running faster is because of two
+factors. The first factor is almost completely irrelevant and it's not
+of significant interest because it'll also have the downside of
+requiring larger clear-page copy-page in page faults which is a
+potentially negative effect. The first factor consists in taking a
+single page fault for each 2M virtual region touched by userland (so
+reducing the enter/exit kernel frequency by a 512 times factor). This
+only matters the first time the memory is accessed for the lifetime of
+a memory mapping. The second long lasting and much more important
+factor will affect all subsequent accesses to the memory for the whole
+runtime of the application. The second factor consist of two
+components:
+
+1) the TLB miss will run faster (especially with virtualization using
+ nested pagetables but almost always also on bare metal without
+ virtualization)
+
+2) a single TLB entry will be mapping a much larger amount of virtual
+ memory in turn reducing the number of TLB misses. With
+ virtualization and nested pagetables the TLB can be mapped of
+ larger size only if both KVM and the Linux guest are using
+ hugepages but a significant speedup already happens if only one of
+ the two is using hugepages just because of the fact the TLB miss is
+ going to run faster.
+
+THP can be enabled system wide or restricted to certain tasks or even
+memory ranges inside task's address space. Unless THP is completely
+disabled, there is ``khugepaged`` daemon that scans memory and
+collapses sequences of basic pages into huge pages.
+
+The THP behaviour is controlled via :ref:`sysfs <thp_sysfs>`
+interface and using madivse(2) and prctl(2) system calls.
+
+Transparent Hugepage Support maximizes the usefulness of free memory
+if compared to the reservation approach of hugetlbfs by allowing all
+unused memory to be used as cache or other movable (or even unmovable
+entities). It doesn't require reservation to prevent hugepage
+allocation failures to be noticeable from userland. It allows paging
+and all other advanced VM features to be available on the
+hugepages. It requires no modifications for applications to take
+advantage of it.
+
+Applications however can be further optimized to take advantage of
+this feature, like for example they've been optimized before to avoid
+a flood of mmap system calls for every malloc(4k). Optimizing userland
+is by far not mandatory and khugepaged already can take care of long
+lived page allocations even for hugepage unaware applications that
+deals with large amounts of memory.
+
+In certain cases when hugepages are enabled system wide, application
+may end up allocating more memory resources. An application may mmap a
+large region but only touch 1 byte of it, in that case a 2M page might
+be allocated instead of a 4k page for no good. This is why it's
+possible to disable hugepages system-wide and to only have them inside
+MADV_HUGEPAGE madvise regions.
+
+Embedded systems should enable hugepages only inside madvise regions
+to eliminate any risk of wasting any precious byte of memory and to
+only run faster.
+
+Applications that gets a lot of benefit from hugepages and that don't
+risk to lose memory by using hugepages, should use
+madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) on their critical mmapped regions.
+
+.. _thp_sysfs:
+
+sysfs
+=====
+
+Global THP controls
+-------------------
+
+Transparent Hugepage Support for anonymous memory can be entirely disabled
+(mostly for debugging purposes) or only enabled inside MADV_HUGEPAGE
+regions (to avoid the risk of consuming more memory resources) or enabled
+system wide. This can be achieved with one of::
+
+ echo always >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
+ echo madvise >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
+ echo never >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
+
+It's also possible to limit defrag efforts in the VM to generate
+anonymous hugepages in case they're not immediately free to madvise
+regions or to never try to defrag memory and simply fallback to regular
+pages unless hugepages are immediately available. Clearly if we spend CPU
+time to defrag memory, we would expect to gain even more by the fact we
+use hugepages later instead of regular pages. This isn't always
+guaranteed, but it may be more likely in case the allocation is for a
+MADV_HUGEPAGE region.
+
+::
+
+ echo always >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
+ echo defer >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
+ echo defer+madvise >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
+ echo madvise >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
+ echo never >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
+
+always
+ means that an application requesting THP will stall on
+ allocation failure and directly reclaim pages and compact
+ memory in an effort to allocate a THP immediately. This may be
+ desirable for virtual machines that benefit heavily from THP
+ use and are willing to delay the VM start to utilise them.
+
+defer
+ means that an application will wake kswapd in the background
+ to reclaim pages and wake kcompactd to compact memory so that
+ THP is available in the near future. It's the responsibility
+ of khugepaged to then install the THP pages later.
+
+defer+madvise
+ will enter direct reclaim and compaction like ``always``, but
+ only for regions that have used madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE); all
+ other regions will wake kswapd in the background to reclaim
+ pages and wake kcompactd to compact memory so that THP is
+ available in the near future.
+
+madvise
+ will enter direct reclaim like ``always`` but only for regions
+ that are have used madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE). This is the default
+ behaviour.
+
+never
+ should be self-explanatory.
+
+By default kernel tries to use huge zero page on read page fault to
+anonymous mapping. It's possible to disable huge zero page by writing 0
+or enable it back by writing 1::
+
+ echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/use_zero_page
+ echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/use_zero_page
+
+Some userspace (such as a test program, or an optimized memory allocation
+library) may want to know the size (in bytes) of a transparent hugepage::
+
+ cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hpage_pmd_size
+
+khugepaged will be automatically started when
+transparent_hugepage/enabled is set to "always" or "madvise, and it'll
+be automatically shutdown if it's set to "never".
+
+Khugepaged controls
+-------------------
+
+khugepaged runs usually at low frequency so while one may not want to
+invoke defrag algorithms synchronously during the page faults, it
+should be worth invoking defrag at least in khugepaged. However it's
+also possible to disable defrag in khugepaged by writing 0 or enable
+defrag in khugepaged by writing 1::
+
+ echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag
+ echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag
+
+You can also control how many pages khugepaged should scan at each
+pass::
+
+ /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_to_scan
+
+and how many milliseconds to wait in khugepaged between each pass (you
+can set this to 0 to run khugepaged at 100% utilization of one core)::
+
+ /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/scan_sleep_millisecs
+
+and how many milliseconds to wait in khugepaged if there's an hugepage
+allocation failure to throttle the next allocation attempt::
+
+ /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/alloc_sleep_millisecs
+
+The khugepaged progress can be seen in the number of pages collapsed::
+
+ /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_collapsed
+
+for each pass::
+
+ /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/full_scans
+
+``max_ptes_none`` specifies how many extra small pages (that are
+not already mapped) can be allocated when collapsing a group
+of small pages into one large page::
+
+ /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_none
+
+A higher value leads to use additional memory for programs.
+A lower value leads to gain less thp performance. Value of
+max_ptes_none can waste cpu time very little, you can
+ignore it.
+
+``max_ptes_swap`` specifies how many pages can be brought in from
+swap when collapsing a group of pages into a transparent huge page::
+
+ /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_swap
+
+A higher value can cause excessive swap IO and waste
+memory. A lower value can prevent THPs from being
+collapsed, resulting fewer pages being collapsed into
+THPs, and lower memory access performance.
+
+Boot parameter
+==============
+
+You can change the sysfs boot time defaults of Transparent Hugepage
+Support by passing the parameter ``transparent_hugepage=always`` or
+``transparent_hugepage=madvise`` or ``transparent_hugepage=never``
+to the kernel command line.
+
+Hugepages in tmpfs/shmem
+========================
+
+You can control hugepage allocation policy in tmpfs with mount option
+``huge=``. It can have following values:
+
+always
+ Attempt to allocate huge pages every time we need a new page;
+
+never
+ Do not allocate huge pages;
+
+within_size
+ Only allocate huge page if it will be fully within i_size.
+ Also respect fadvise()/madvise() hints;
+
+advise
+ Only allocate huge pages if requested with fadvise()/madvise();
+
+The default policy is ``never``.
+
+``mount -o remount,huge= /mountpoint`` works fine after mount: remounting
+``huge=never`` will not attempt to break up huge pages at all, just stop more
+from being allocated.
+
+There's also sysfs knob to control hugepage allocation policy for internal
+shmem mount: /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled. The mount
+is used for SysV SHM, memfds, shared anonymous mmaps (of /dev/zero or
+MAP_ANONYMOUS), GPU drivers' DRM objects, Ashmem.
+
+In addition to policies listed above, shmem_enabled allows two further
+values:
+
+deny
+ For use in emergencies, to force the huge option off from
+ all mounts;
+force
+ Force the huge option on for all - very useful for testing;
+
+Need of application restart
+===========================
+
+The transparent_hugepage/enabled values and tmpfs mount option only affect
+future behavior. So to make them effective you need to restart any
+application that could have been using hugepages. This also applies to the
+regions registered in khugepaged.
+
+Monitoring usage
+================
+
+The number of anonymous transparent huge pages currently used by the
+system is available by reading the AnonHugePages field in ``/proc/meminfo``.
+To identify what applications are using anonymous transparent huge pages,
+it is necessary to read ``/proc/PID/smaps`` and count the AnonHugePages fields
+for each mapping.
+
+The number of file transparent huge pages mapped to userspace is available
+by reading ShmemPmdMapped and ShmemHugePages fields in ``/proc/meminfo``.
+To identify what applications are mapping file transparent huge pages, it
+is necessary to read ``/proc/PID/smaps`` and count the FileHugeMapped fields
+for each mapping.
+
+Note that reading the smaps file is expensive and reading it
+frequently will incur overhead.
+
+There are a number of counters in ``/proc/vmstat`` that may be used to
+monitor how successfully the system is providing huge pages for use.
+
+thp_fault_alloc
+ is incremented every time a huge page is successfully
+ allocated to handle a page fault. This applies to both the
+ first time a page is faulted and for COW faults.
+
+thp_collapse_alloc
+ is incremented by khugepaged when it has found
+ a range of pages to collapse into one huge page and has
+ successfully allocated a new huge page to store the data.
+
+thp_fault_fallback
+ is incremented if a page fault fails to allocate
+ a huge page and instead falls back to using small pages.
+
+thp_collapse_alloc_failed
+ is incremented if khugepaged found a range
+ of pages that should be collapsed into one huge page but failed
+ the allocation.
+
+thp_file_alloc
+ is incremented every time a file huge page is successfully
+ allocated.
+
+thp_file_mapped
+ is incremented every time a file huge page is mapped into
+ user address space.
+
+thp_split_page
+ is incremented every time a huge page is split into base
+ pages. This can happen for a variety of reasons but a common
+ reason is that a huge page is old and is being reclaimed.
+ This action implies splitting all PMD the page mapped with.
+
+thp_split_page_failed
+ is incremented if kernel fails to split huge
+ page. This can happen if the page was pinned by somebody.
+
+thp_deferred_split_page
+ is incremented when a huge page is put onto split
+ queue. This happens when a huge page is partially unmapped and
+ splitting it would free up some memory. Pages on split queue are
+ going to be split under memory pressure.
+
+thp_split_pmd
+ is incremented every time a PMD split into table of PTEs.
+ This can happen, for instance, when application calls mprotect() or
+ munmap() on part of huge page. It doesn't split huge page, only
+ page table entry.
+
+thp_zero_page_alloc
+ is incremented every time a huge zero page is
+ successfully allocated. It includes allocations which where
+ dropped due race with other allocation. Note, it doesn't count
+ every map of the huge zero page, only its allocation.
+
+thp_zero_page_alloc_failed
+ is incremented if kernel fails to allocate
+ huge zero page and falls back to using small pages.
+
+thp_swpout
+ is incremented every time a huge page is swapout in one
+ piece without splitting.
+
+thp_swpout_fallback
+ is incremented if a huge page has to be split before swapout.
+ Usually because failed to allocate some continuous swap space
+ for the huge page.
+
+As the system ages, allocating huge pages may be expensive as the
+system uses memory compaction to copy data around memory to free a
+huge page for use. There are some counters in ``/proc/vmstat`` to help
+monitor this overhead.
+
+compact_stall
+ is incremented every time a process stalls to run
+ memory compaction so that a huge page is free for use.
+
+compact_success
+ is incremented if the system compacted memory and
+ freed a huge page for use.
+
+compact_fail
+ is incremented if the system tries to compact memory
+ but failed.
+
+compact_pages_moved
+ is incremented each time a page is moved. If
+ this value is increasing rapidly, it implies that the system
+ is copying a lot of data to satisfy the huge page allocation.
+ It is possible that the cost of copying exceeds any savings
+ from reduced TLB misses.
+
+compact_pagemigrate_failed
+ is incremented when the underlying mechanism
+ for moving a page failed.
+
+compact_blocks_moved
+ is incremented each time memory compaction examines
+ a huge page aligned range of pages.
+
+It is possible to establish how long the stalls were using the function
+tracer to record how long was spent in __alloc_pages_nodemask and
+using the mm_page_alloc tracepoint to identify which allocations were
+for huge pages.
+
+Optimizing the applications
+===========================
+
+To be guaranteed that the kernel will map a 2M page immediately in any
+memory region, the mmap region has to be hugepage naturally
+aligned. posix_memalign() can provide that guarantee.
+
+Hugetlbfs
+=========
+
+You can use hugetlbfs on a kernel that has transparent hugepage
+support enabled just fine as always. No difference can be noted in
+hugetlbfs other than there will be less overall fragmentation. All
+usual features belonging to hugetlbfs are preserved and
+unaffected. libhugetlbfs will also work fine as usual.

+BPF documentation
+=================
+
+This directory contains documentation for the BPF (Berkeley Packet
+Filter) facility, with a focus on the extended BPF version (eBPF).
+
+This kernel side documentation is still work in progress. The main
+textual documentation is (for historical reasons) described in
+`Documentation/networking/filter.txt`_, which describe both classical
+and extended BPF instruction-set.
+The Cilium project also maintains a `BPF and XDP Reference Guide`_
+that goes into great technical depth about the BPF Architecture.
+
+The primary info for the bpf syscall is available in the `man-pages`_
+for `bpf(2)`_.

+
+Questions and Answers
+=====================
+
+Q: Is BPF a generic instruction set similar to x64 and arm64?
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+A: NO.
+
+Q: Is BPF a generic virtual machine ?
+-------------------------------------
+A: NO.
+
+BPF is generic instruction set *with* C calling convention.
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+Q: Why C calling convention was chosen?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A: Because BPF programs are designed to run in the linux kernel
+which is written in C, hence BPF defines instruction set compatible
+with two most used architectures x64 and arm64 (and takes into
+consideration important quirks of other architectures) and
+defines calling convention that is compatible with C calling
+convention of the linux kernel on those architectures.
+
+Q: can multiple return values be supported in the future?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A: NO. BPF allows only register R0 to be used as return value.
+
+Q: can more than 5 function arguments be supported in the future?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A: NO. BPF calling convention only allows registers R1-R5 to be used
+as arguments. BPF is not a standalone instruction set.
+(unlike x64 ISA that allows msft, cdecl and other conventions)
+
+Q: can BPF programs access instruction pointer or return address?
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+A: NO.
+
+Q: can BPF programs access stack pointer ?
+------------------------------------------
+A: NO.
+
+Only frame pointer (register R10) is accessible.
+From compiler point of view it's necessary to have stack pointer.
+For example LLVM defines register R11 as stack pointer in its
+BPF backend, but it makes sure that generated code never uses it.
+
+Q: Does C-calling convention diminishes possible use cases?
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+A: YES.
+
+BPF design forces addition of major functionality in the form
+of kernel helper functions and kernel objects like BPF maps with
+seamless interoperability between them. It lets kernel call into
+BPF programs and programs call kernel helpers with zero overhead.
+As all of them were native C code. That is particularly the case
+for JITed BPF programs that are indistinguishable from
+native kernel C code.
+
+Q: Does it mean that 'innovative' extensions to BPF code are disallowed?
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+A: Soft yes.
+
+At least for now until BPF core has support for
+bpf-to-bpf calls, indirect calls, loops, global variables,
+jump tables, read only sections and all other normal constructs
+that C code can produce.
+
+Q: Can loops be supported in a safe way?
+----------------------------------------
+A: It's not clear yet.
+
+BPF developers are trying to find a way to
+support bounded loops where the verifier can guarantee that
+the program terminates in less than 4096 instructions.
+
+Instruction level questions
+---------------------------
+
+Q: LD_ABS and LD_IND instructions vs C code
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Q: How come LD_ABS and LD_IND instruction are present in BPF whereas
+C code cannot express them and has to use builtin intrinsics?
+
+A: This is artifact of compatibility with classic BPF. Modern
+networking code in BPF performs better without them.
+See 'direct packet access'.
+
+Q: BPF instructions mapping not one-to-one to native CPU
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Q: It seems not all BPF instructions are one-to-one to native CPU.
+For example why BPF_JNE and other compare and jumps are not cpu-like?
+
+A: This was necessary to avoid introducing flags into ISA which are
+impossible to make generic and efficient across CPU architectures.
+
+Q: why BPF_DIV instruction doesn't map to x64 div?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A: Because if we picked one-to-one relationship to x64 it would have made
+it more complicated to support on arm64 and other archs. Also it
+needs div-by-zero runtime check.
+
+Q: why there is no BPF_SDIV for signed divide operation?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A: Because it would be rarely used. llvm errors in such case and
+prints a suggestion to use unsigned divide instead
+
+Q: Why BPF has implicit prologue and epilogue?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A: Because architectures like sparc have register windows and in general
+there are enough subtle differences between architectures, so naive
+store return address into stack won't work. Another reason is BPF has
+to be safe from division by zero (and legacy exception path
+of LD_ABS insn). Those instructions need to invoke epilogue and
+return implicitly.
+
+Q: Why BPF_JLT and BPF_JLE instructions were not introduced in the beginning?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A: Because classic BPF didn't have them and BPF authors felt that compiler
+workaround would be acceptable. Turned out that programs lose performance
+due to lack of these compare instructions and they were added.
+These two instructions is a perfect example what kind of new BPF
+instructions are acceptable and can be added in the future.
+These two already had equivalent instructions in native CPUs.
+New instructions that don't have one-to-one mapping to HW instructions
+will not be accepted.
+
+Q: BPF 32-bit subregister requirements
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Q: BPF 32-bit subregisters have a requirement to zero upper 32-bits of BPF
+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.
+
+Q: Does BPF have a stable ABI?
+------------------------------
+A: YES. BPF instructions, arguments to BPF programs, set of helper
+functions and their arguments, recognized return codes are all part
+of ABI. However when tracing programs are using bpf_probe_read() helper
+to walk kernel internal datastructures and compile with kernel
+internal headers these accesses can and will break with newer
+kernels. The union bpf_attr -> kern_version is checked at load time
+to prevent accidentally loading kprobe-based bpf programs written
+for a different kernel. Networking programs don't do kern_version check.
+
+Q: How much stack space a BPF program uses?
+-------------------------------------------
+A: Currently all program types are limited to 512 bytes of stack
+space, but the verifier computes the actual amount of stack used
+and both interpreter and most JITed code consume necessary amount.
+
+Q: Can BPF be offloaded to HW?
+------------------------------
+A: YES. BPF HW offload is supported by NFP driver.
+
+Q: Does classic BPF interpreter still exist?
+--------------------------------------------
+A: NO. Classic BPF programs are converted into extend BPF instructions.
+
+Q: Can BPF call arbitrary kernel functions?
+-------------------------------------------
+A: NO. BPF programs can only call a set of helper functions which
+is defined for every program type.
+
+Q: Can BPF overwrite arbitrary kernel memory?
+---------------------------------------------
+A: NO.
+
+Tracing bpf programs can *read* arbitrary memory with bpf_probe_read()
+and bpf_probe_read_str() helpers. Networking programs cannot read
+arbitrary memory, since they don't have access to these helpers.
+Programs can never read or write arbitrary memory directly.
+
+Q: Can BPF overwrite arbitrary user memory?
+-------------------------------------------
+A: Sort-of.
+
+Tracing BPF programs can overwrite the user memory
+of the current task with bpf_probe_write_user(). Every time such
+program is loaded the kernel will print warning message, so
+this helper is only useful for experiments and prototypes.
+Tracing BPF programs are root only.
+
+Q: bpf_trace_printk() helper warning
+------------------------------------
+Q: When bpf_trace_printk() helper is used the kernel prints nasty
+warning message. Why is that?
+
+A: This is done to nudge program authors into better interfaces when
+programs need to pass data to user space. Like bpf_perf_event_output()
+can be used to efficiently stream data via perf ring buffer.
+BPF maps can be used for asynchronous data sharing between kernel
+and user space. bpf_trace_printk() should only be used for debugging.
+
+Q: New functionality via kernel modules?
+----------------------------------------
+Q: Can BPF functionality such as new program or map types, new
+helpers, etc be added out of kernel module code?
+
+A: NO.

-Q: Why BPF_JLT and BPF_JLE instructions were not introduced in the beginning?
-A: Because classic BPF didn't have them and BPF authors felt that compiler
- workaround would be acceptable. Turned out that programs lose performance
- due to lack of these compare instructions and they were added.
- These two instructions is a perfect example what kind of new BPF
- instructions are acceptable and can be added in the future.
- These two already had equivalent instructions in native CPUs.
- New instructions that don't have one-to-one mapping to HW instructions
- will not be accepted.
-
-Q: BPF 32-bit subregisters have a requirement to zero upper 32-bits of BPF
- 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.
-
-Q: Does BPF have a stable ABI?
-A: YES. BPF instructions, arguments to BPF programs, set of helper
- functions and their arguments, recognized return codes are all part
- of ABI. However when tracing programs are using bpf_probe_read() helper
- to walk kernel internal datastructures and compile with kernel
- internal headers these accesses can and will break with newer
- kernels. The union bpf_attr -> kern_version is checked at load time
- to prevent accidentally loading kprobe-based bpf programs written
- for a different kernel. Networking programs don't do kern_version check.
-
-Q: How much stack space a BPF program uses?
-A: Currently all program types are limited to 512 bytes of stack
- space, but the verifier computes the actual amount of stack used
- and both interpreter and most JITed code consume necessary amount.
-
-Q: Can BPF be offloaded to HW?
-A: YES. BPF HW offload is supported by NFP driver.
-
-Q: Does classic BPF interpreter still exist?
-A: NO. Classic BPF programs are converted into extend BPF instructions.
-
-Q: Can BPF call arbitrary kernel functions?
-A: NO. BPF programs can only call a set of helper functions which
- is defined for every program type.
-
-Q: Can BPF overwrite arbitrary kernel memory?
-A: NO. Tracing bpf programs can _read_ arbitrary memory with bpf_probe_read()
- and bpf_probe_read_str() helpers. Networking programs cannot read
- arbitrary memory, since they don't have access to these helpers.
- Programs can never read or write arbitrary memory directly.
-
-Q: Can BPF overwrite arbitrary user memory?
-A: Sort-of. Tracing BPF programs can overwrite the user memory
- of the current task with bpf_probe_write_user(). Every time such
- program is loaded the kernel will print warning message, so
- this helper is only useful for experiments and prototypes.
- Tracing BPF programs are root only.
-
-Q: When bpf_trace_printk() helper is used the kernel prints nasty
- warning message. Why is that?
-A: This is done to nudge program authors into better interfaces when
- programs need to pass data to user space. Like bpf_perf_event_output()
- can be used to efficiently stream data via perf ring buffer.
- BPF maps can be used for asynchronous data sharing between kernel
- and user space. bpf_trace_printk() should only be used for debugging.
-
-Q: Can BPF functionality such as new program or map types, new
- helpers, etc be added out of kernel module code?
-A: NO.

+=================================
+HOWTO interact with BPF subsystem
+=================================
+
+This document provides information for the BPF subsystem about various
+workflows related to reporting bugs, submitting patches, and queueing
+patches for stable kernels.
+
+For general information about submitting patches, please refer to
+`Documentation/process/`_. This document only describes additional specifics
+related to BPF.

+ :local:
+ :depth: 2
+
+Reporting bugs
+==============
+
+Q: How do I report bugs for BPF kernel code?
+--------------------------------------------
+A: Since all BPF kernel development as well as bpftool and iproute2 BPF
+loader development happens through the netdev kernel mailing list,
+please report any found issues around BPF to the following mailing
+list:
+
+ netdev@vger.kernel.org
+
+This may also include issues related to XDP, BPF tracing, etc.
+
+Given netdev has a high volume of traffic, please also add the BPF
+maintainers to Cc (from kernel MAINTAINERS_ file):
+
+* Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
+* Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
+
+In case a buggy commit has already been identified, make sure to keep
+the actual commit authors in Cc as well for the report. They can
+typically be identified through the kernel's git tree.
+
+**Please do NOT report BPF issues to bugzilla.kernel.org since it
+is a guarantee that the reported issue will be overlooked.**
+
+Submitting patches
+==================
+
+Q: To which mailing list do I need to submit my BPF patches?
+------------------------------------------------------------
+A: Please submit your BPF patches to the netdev kernel mailing list:
+
+ netdev@vger.kernel.org
+
+Historically, BPF came out of networking and has always been maintained
+by the kernel networking community. Although these days BPF touches
+many other subsystems as well, the patches are still routed mainly
+through the networking community.
+
+In case your patch has changes in various different subsystems (e.g.
+tracing, security, etc), make sure to Cc the related kernel mailing
+lists and maintainers from there as well, so they are able to review
+the changes and provide their Acked-by's to the patches.
+
+Q: Where can I find patches currently under discussion for BPF subsystem?
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+A: All patches that are Cc'ed to netdev are queued for review under netdev
+patchwork project:
+
+ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/
+
+Those patches which target BPF, are assigned to a 'bpf' delegate for
+further processing from BPF maintainers. The current queue with
+patches under review can be found at:
+
+ https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/?delegate=77147
+
+Once the patches have been reviewed by the BPF community as a whole
+and approved by the BPF maintainers, their status in patchwork will be
+changed to 'Accepted' and the submitter will be notified by mail. This
+means that the patches look good from a BPF perspective and have been
+applied to one of the two BPF kernel trees.
+
+In case feedback from the community requires a respin of the patches,
+their status in patchwork will be set to 'Changes Requested', and purged
+from the current review queue. Likewise for cases where patches would
+get rejected or are not applicable to the BPF trees (but assigned to
+the 'bpf' delegate).
+
+Q: How do the changes make their way into Linux?
+------------------------------------------------
+A: There are two BPF kernel trees (git repositories). Once patches have
+been accepted by the BPF maintainers, they will be applied to one
+of the two BPF trees:
+
+ * https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf.git/
+ * https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next.git/
+
+The bpf tree itself is for fixes only, whereas bpf-next for features,
+cleanups or other kind of improvements ("next-like" content). This is
+analogous to net and net-next trees for networking. Both bpf and
+bpf-next will only have a master branch in order to simplify against
+which branch patches should get rebased to.
+
+Accumulated BPF patches in the bpf tree will regularly get pulled
+into the net kernel tree. Likewise, accumulated BPF patches accepted
+into the bpf-next tree will make their way into net-next tree. net and
+net-next are both run by David S. Miller. From there, they will go
+into the kernel mainline tree run by Linus Torvalds. To read up on the
+process of net and net-next being merged into the mainline tree, see
+the `netdev FAQ`_ under:
+
+ `Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt`_
+
+Occasionally, to prevent merge conflicts, we might send pull requests
+to other trees (e.g. tracing) with a small subset of the patches, but
+net and net-next are always the main trees targeted for integration.
+
+The pull requests will contain a high-level summary of the accumulated
+patches and can be searched on netdev kernel mailing list through the
+following subject lines (``yyyy-mm-dd`` is the date of the pull
+request)::
+
+ pull-request: bpf yyyy-mm-dd
+ pull-request: bpf-next yyyy-mm-dd
+
+Q: How do I indicate which tree (bpf vs. bpf-next) my patch should be applied to?
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+A: The process is the very same as described in the `netdev FAQ`_, so
+please read up on it. The subject line must indicate whether the
+patch is a fix or rather "next-like" content in order to let the
+maintainers know whether it is targeted at bpf or bpf-next.
+
+For fixes eventually landing in bpf -> net tree, the subject must
+look like::
+
+ git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH bpf' start..finish
+
+For features/improvements/etc that should eventually land in
+bpf-next -> net-next, the subject must look like::
+
+ git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH bpf-next' start..finish
+
+If unsure whether the patch or patch series should go into bpf
+or net directly, or bpf-next or net-next directly, it is not a
+problem either if the subject line says net or net-next as target.
+It is eventually up to the maintainers to do the delegation of
+the patches.
+
+If it is clear that patches should go into bpf or bpf-next tree,
+please make sure to rebase the patches against those trees in
+order to reduce potential conflicts.
+
+In case the patch or patch series has to be reworked and sent out
+again in a second or later revision, it is also required to add a
+version number (``v2``, ``v3``, ...) into the subject prefix::
+
+ git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH net-next v2' start..finish
+
+When changes have been requested to the patch series, always send the
+whole patch series again with the feedback incorporated (never send
+individual diffs on top of the old series).
+
+Q: What does it mean when a patch gets applied to bpf or bpf-next tree?
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+A: It means that the patch looks good for mainline inclusion from
+a BPF point of view.
+
+Be aware that this is not a final verdict that the patch will
+automatically get accepted into net or net-next trees eventually:
+
+On the netdev kernel mailing list reviews can come in at any point
+in time. If discussions around a patch conclude that they cannot
+get included as-is, we will either apply a follow-up fix or drop
+them from the trees entirely. Therefore, we also reserve to rebase
+the trees when deemed necessary. After all, the purpose of the tree
+is to:
+
+i) accumulate and stage BPF patches for integration into trees
+ like net and net-next, and
+
+ii) run extensive BPF test suite and
+ workloads on the patches before they make their way any further.
+
+Once the BPF pull request was accepted by David S. Miller, then
+the patches end up in net or net-next tree, respectively, and
+make their way from there further into mainline. Again, see the
+`netdev FAQ`_ for additional information e.g. on how often they are
+merged to mainline.
+
+Q: How long do I need to wait for feedback on my BPF patches?
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+A: We try to keep the latency low. The usual time to feedback will
+be around 2 or 3 business days. It may vary depending on the
+complexity of changes and current patch load.
+
+Q: How often do you send pull requests to major kernel trees like net or net-next?
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+A: Pull requests will be sent out rather often in order to not
+accumulate too many patches in bpf or bpf-next.
+
+As a rule of thumb, expect pull requests for each tree regularly
+at the end of the week. In some cases pull requests could additionally
+come also in the middle of the week depending on the current patch
+load or urgency.
+
+Q: Are patches applied to bpf-next when the merge window is open?
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+A: For the time when the merge window is open, bpf-next will not be
+processed. This is roughly analogous to net-next patch processing,
+so feel free to read up on the `netdev FAQ`_ about further details.
+
+During those two weeks of merge window, we might ask you to resend
+your patch series once bpf-next is open again. Once Linus released
+a ``v*-rc1`` after the merge window, we continue processing of bpf-next.
+
+For non-subscribers to kernel mailing lists, there is also a status
+page run by David S. Miller on net-next that provides guidance:
+
+ http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/net-next.html
+
+Q: Verifier changes and test cases
+----------------------------------
+Q: I made a BPF verifier change, do I need to add test cases for
+BPF kernel selftests_?
+
+A: If the patch has changes to the behavior of the verifier, then yes,
+it is absolutely necessary to add test cases to the BPF kernel
+selftests_ suite. If they are not present and we think they are
+needed, then we might ask for them before accepting any changes.
+
+In particular, test_verifier.c is tracking a high number of BPF test
+cases, including a lot of corner cases that LLVM BPF back end may
+generate out of the restricted C code. Thus, adding test cases is
+absolutely crucial to make sure future changes do not accidentally
+affect prior use-cases. Thus, treat those test cases as: verifier
+behavior that is not tracked in test_verifier.c could potentially
+be subject to change.
+
+Q: samples/bpf preference vs selftests?
+---------------------------------------
+Q: When should I add code to `samples/bpf/`_ and when to BPF kernel
+selftests_ ?
+
+A: In general, we prefer additions to BPF kernel selftests_ rather than
+`samples/bpf/`_. The rationale is very simple: kernel selftests are
+regularly run by various bots to test for kernel regressions.
+
+The more test cases we add to BPF selftests, the better the coverage
+and the less likely it is that those could accidentally break. It is
+not that BPF kernel selftests cannot demo how a specific feature can
+be used.
+
+That said, `samples/bpf/`_ may be a good place for people to get started,
+so it might be advisable that simple demos of features could go into
+`samples/bpf/`_, but advanced functional and corner-case testing rather
+into kernel selftests.
+
+If your sample looks like a test case, then go for BPF kernel selftests
+instead!
+
+Q: When should I add code to the bpftool?
+-----------------------------------------
+A: The main purpose of bpftool (under tools/bpf/bpftool/) is to provide
+a central user space tool for debugging and introspection of BPF programs
+and maps that are active in the kernel. If UAPI changes related to BPF
+enable for dumping additional information of programs or maps, then
+bpftool should be extended as well to support dumping them.
+
+Q: When should I add code to iproute2's BPF loader?
+---------------------------------------------------
+A: For UAPI changes related to the XDP or tc layer (e.g. ``cls_bpf``),
+the convention is that those control-path related changes are added to
+iproute2's BPF loader as well from user space side. This is not only
+useful to have UAPI changes properly designed to be usable, but also
+to make those changes available to a wider user base of major
+downstream distributions.
+
+Q: Do you accept patches as well for iproute2's BPF loader?
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+A: Patches for the iproute2's BPF loader have to be sent to:
+
+ netdev@vger.kernel.org
+
+While those patches are not processed by the BPF kernel maintainers,
+please keep them in Cc as well, so they can be reviewed.
+
+The official git repository for iproute2 is run by Stephen Hemminger
+and can be found at:
+
+ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git/
+
+The patches need to have a subject prefix of '``[PATCH iproute2
+master]``' or '``[PATCH iproute2 net-next]``'. '``master``' or
+'``net-next``' describes the target branch where the patch should be
+applied to. Meaning, if kernel changes went into the net-next kernel
+tree, then the related iproute2 changes need to go into the iproute2
+net-next branch, otherwise they can be targeted at master branch. The
+iproute2 net-next branch will get merged into the master branch after
+the current iproute2 version from master has been released.
+
+Like BPF, the patches end up in patchwork under the netdev project and
+are delegated to 'shemminger' for further processing:
+
+ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/?delegate=389
+
+Q: What is the minimum requirement before I submit my BPF patches?
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+A: When submitting patches, always take the time and properly test your
+patches *prior* to submission. Never rush them! If maintainers find
+that your patches have not been properly tested, it is a good way to
+get them grumpy. Testing patch submissions is a hard requirement!
+
+Note, fixes that go to bpf tree *must* have a ``Fixes:`` tag included.
+The same applies to fixes that target bpf-next, where the affected
+commit is in net-next (or in some cases bpf-next). The ``Fixes:`` tag is
+crucial in order to identify follow-up commits and tremendously helps
+for people having to do backporting, so it is a must have!
+
+We also don't accept patches with an empty commit message. Take your
+time and properly write up a high quality commit message, it is
+essential!
+
+Think about it this way: other developers looking at your code a month
+from now need to understand *why* a certain change has been done that
+way, and whether there have been flaws in the analysis or assumptions
+that the original author did. Thus providing a proper rationale and
+describing the use-case for the changes is a must.
+
+Patch submissions with >1 patch must have a cover letter which includes
+a high level description of the series. This high level summary will
+then be placed into the merge commit by the BPF maintainers such that
+it is also accessible from the git log for future reference.
+
+Q: Features changing BPF JIT and/or LLVM
+----------------------------------------
+Q: What do I need to consider when adding a new instruction or feature
+that would require BPF JIT and/or LLVM integration as well?
+
+A: We try hard to keep all BPF JITs up to date such that the same user
+experience can be guaranteed when running BPF programs on different
+architectures without having the program punt to the less efficient
+interpreter in case the in-kernel BPF JIT is enabled.
+
+If you are unable to implement or test the required JIT changes for
+certain architectures, please work together with the related BPF JIT
+developers in order to get the feature implemented in a timely manner.
+Please refer to the git log (``arch/*/net/``) to locate the necessary
+people for helping out.
+
+Also always make sure to add BPF test cases (e.g. test_bpf.c and
+test_verifier.c) for new instructions, so that they can receive
+broad test coverage and help run-time testing the various BPF JITs.
+
+In case of new BPF instructions, once the changes have been accepted
+into the Linux kernel, please implement support into LLVM's BPF back
+end. See LLVM_ section below for further information.
+
+Stable submission
+=================
+
+Q: I need a specific BPF commit in stable kernels. What should I do?
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+A: In case you need a specific fix in stable kernels, first check whether
+the commit has already been applied in the related ``linux-*.y`` branches:
+
+ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/
+
+If not the case, then drop an email to the BPF maintainers with the
+netdev kernel mailing list in Cc and ask for the fix to be queued up:
+
+ netdev@vger.kernel.org
+
+The process in general is the same as on netdev itself, see also the
+`netdev FAQ`_ document.
+
+Q: Do you also backport to kernels not currently maintained as stable?
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+A: No. If you need a specific BPF commit in kernels that are currently not
+maintained by the stable maintainers, then you are on your own.
+
+The current stable and longterm stable kernels are all listed here:
+
+ https://www.kernel.org/
+
+Q: The BPF patch I am about to submit needs to go to stable as well
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+What should I do?
+
+A: The same rules apply as with netdev patch submissions in general, see
+`netdev FAQ`_ under:
+
+ `Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt`_
+
+Never add "``Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org``" to the patch description, but
+ask the BPF maintainers to queue the patches instead. This can be done
+with a note, for example, under the ``---`` part of the patch which does
+not go into the git log. Alternatively, this can be done as a simple
+request by mail instead.
+
+Q: Queue stable patches
+-----------------------
+Q: Where do I find currently queued BPF patches that will be submitted
+to stable?
+
+A: Once patches that fix critical bugs got applied into the bpf tree, they
+are queued up for stable submission under:
+
+ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/bpf/stable/?state=*
+
+They will be on hold there at minimum until the related commit made its
+way into the mainline kernel tree.
+
+After having been under broader exposure, the queued patches will be
+submitted by the BPF maintainers to the stable maintainers.
+
+Testing patches
+===============
+
+Q: How to run BPF selftests
+---------------------------
+A: After you have booted into the newly compiled kernel, navigate to
+the BPF selftests_ suite in order to test BPF functionality (current
+working directory points to the root of the cloned git tree)::
+
+ $ cd tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
+ $ make
+
+To run the verifier tests::
+
+ $ sudo ./test_verifier
+
+The verifier tests print out all the current checks being
+performed. The summary at the end of running all tests will dump
+information of test successes and failures::
+
+ Summary: 418 PASSED, 0 FAILED
+
+In order to run through all BPF selftests, the following command is
+needed::
+
+ $ sudo make run_tests
+
+See the kernels selftest `Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst`_
+document for further documentation.
+
+Q: Which BPF kernel selftests version should I run my kernel against?
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+A: If you run a kernel ``xyz``, then always run the BPF kernel selftests
+from that kernel ``xyz`` as well. Do not expect that the BPF selftest
+from the latest mainline tree will pass all the time.
+
+In particular, test_bpf.c and test_verifier.c have a large number of
+test cases and are constantly updated with new BPF test sequences, or
+existing ones are adapted to verifier changes e.g. due to verifier
+becoming smarter and being able to better track certain things.
+
+LLVM
+====
+
+Q: Where do I find LLVM with BPF support?
+-----------------------------------------
+A: The BPF back end for LLVM is upstream in LLVM since version 3.7.1.
+
+All major distributions these days ship LLVM with BPF back end enabled,
+so for the majority of use-cases it is not required to compile LLVM by
+hand anymore, just install the distribution provided package.
+
+LLVM's static compiler lists the supported targets through
+``llc --version``, make sure BPF targets are listed. Example::
+
+ $ llc --version
+ LLVM (http://llvm.org/):
+ LLVM version 6.0.0svn
+ Optimized build.
+ Default target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
+ Host CPU: skylake
+
+ Registered Targets:
+ bpf - BPF (host endian)
+ bpfeb - BPF (big endian)
+ bpfel - BPF (little endian)
+ x86 - 32-bit X86: Pentium-Pro and above
+ x86-64 - 64-bit X86: EM64T and AMD64
+
+For developers in order to utilize the latest features added to LLVM's
+BPF back end, it is advisable to run the latest LLVM releases. Support
+for new BPF kernel features such as additions to the BPF instruction
+set are often developed together.
+
+All LLVM releases can be found at: http://releases.llvm.org/
+
+Q: Got it, so how do I build LLVM manually anyway?
+--------------------------------------------------
+A: You need cmake and gcc-c++ as build requisites for LLVM. Once you have
+that set up, proceed with building the latest LLVM and clang version
+from the git repositories::
+
+ $ git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
+ $ cd llvm/tools
+ $ git clone --depth 1 http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
+ $ cd ..; mkdir build; cd build
+ $ cmake .. -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="BPF;X86" \
+ -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF \
+ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
+ -DLLVM_BUILD_RUNTIME=OFF
+ $ make -j $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
+
+The built binaries can then be found in the build/bin/ directory, where
+you can point the PATH variable to.
+
+Q: Reporting LLVM BPF issues
+----------------------------
+Q: Should I notify BPF kernel maintainers about issues in LLVM's BPF code
+generation back end or about LLVM generated code that the verifier
+refuses to accept?
+
+A: Yes, please do!
+
+LLVM's BPF back end is a key piece of the whole BPF
+infrastructure and it ties deeply into verification of programs from the
+kernel side. Therefore, any issues on either side need to be investigated
+and fixed whenever necessary.
+
+Therefore, please make sure to bring them up at netdev kernel mailing
+list and Cc BPF maintainers for LLVM and kernel bits:
+
+* Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com>
+* Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
+* Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
+
+LLVM also has an issue tracker where BPF related bugs can be found:
+
+ https://bugs.llvm.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=bpf
+
+However, it is better to reach out through mailing lists with having
+maintainers in Cc.
+
+Q: New BPF instruction for kernel and LLVM
+------------------------------------------
+Q: I have added a new BPF instruction to the kernel, how can I integrate
+it into LLVM?
+
+A: LLVM has a ``-mcpu`` selector for the BPF back end in order to allow
+the selection of BPF instruction set extensions. By default the
+``generic`` processor target is used, which is the base instruction set
+(v1) of BPF.
+
+LLVM has an option to select ``-mcpu=probe`` where it will probe the host
+kernel for supported BPF instruction set extensions and selects the
+optimal set automatically.
+
+For cross-compilation, a specific version can be select manually as well ::
+
+ $ llc -march bpf -mcpu=help
+ Available CPUs for this target:
+
+ generic - Select the generic processor.
+ probe - Select the probe processor.
+ v1 - Select the v1 processor.
+ v2 - Select the v2 processor.
+ [...]
+
+Newly added BPF instructions to the Linux kernel need to follow the same
+scheme, bump the instruction set version and implement probing for the
+extensions such that ``-mcpu=probe`` users can benefit from the
+optimization transparently when upgrading their kernels.
+
+If you are unable to implement support for the newly added BPF instruction
+please reach out to BPF developers for help.
+
+By the way, the BPF kernel selftests run with ``-mcpu=probe`` for better
+test coverage.
+
+Q: clang flag for target bpf?
+-----------------------------
+Q: In some cases clang flag ``-target bpf`` is used but in other cases the
+default clang target, which matches the underlying architecture, is used.
+What is the difference and when I should use which?
+
+A: Although LLVM IR generation and optimization try to stay architecture
+independent, ``-target <arch>`` still has some impact on generated code:
+
+- BPF program may recursively include header file(s) with file scope
+ inline assembly codes. The default target can handle this well,
+ while ``bpf`` target may fail if bpf backend assembler does not
+ understand these assembly codes, which is true in most cases.
+
+- When compiled without ``-g``, additional elf sections, e.g.,
+ .eh_frame and .rela.eh_frame, may be present in the object file
+ with default target, but not with ``bpf`` target.
+
+- The default target may turn a C switch statement into a switch table
+ lookup and jump operation. Since the switch table is placed
+ in the global readonly section, the bpf program will fail to load.
+ The bpf target does not support switch table optimization.
+ The clang option ``-fno-jump-tables`` can be used to disable
+ switch table generation.
+
+- For clang ``-target bpf``, it is guaranteed that pointer or long /
+ unsigned long types will always have a width of 64 bit, no matter
+ whether underlying clang binary or default target (or kernel) is
+ 32 bit. However, when native clang target is used, then it will
+ compile these types based on the underlying architecture's conventions,
+ meaning in case of 32 bit architecture, pointer or long / unsigned
+ long types e.g. in BPF context structure will have width of 32 bit
+ while the BPF LLVM back end still operates in 64 bit. The native
+ target is mostly needed in tracing for the case of walking ``pt_regs``
+ or other kernel structures where CPU's register width matters.
+ Otherwise, ``clang -target bpf`` is generally recommended.
+
+You should use default target when:
+
+- Your program includes a header file, e.g., ptrace.h, which eventually
+ pulls in some header files containing file scope host assembly codes.
+
+- You can add ``-fno-jump-tables`` to work around the switch table issue.
+
+Otherwise, you can use ``bpf`` target. Additionally, you *must* use bpf target
+when:
+
+- Your program uses data structures with pointer or long / unsigned long
+ types that interface with BPF helpers or context data structures. Access
+ into these structures is verified by the BPF verifier and may result
+ in verification failures if the native architecture is not aligned with
+ the BPF architecture, e.g. 64-bit. An example of this is
+ BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG require ``-target bpf``

-This document provides information for the BPF subsystem about various
-workflows related to reporting bugs, submitting patches, and queueing
-patches for stable kernels.
-
-For general information about submitting patches, please refer to
-Documentation/process/. This document only describes additional specifics
-related to BPF.
-
-Reporting bugs:
----------------
-
-Q: How do I report bugs for BPF kernel code?
-
-A: Since all BPF kernel development as well as bpftool and iproute2 BPF
- loader development happens through the netdev kernel mailing list,
- please report any found issues around BPF to the following mailing
- list:
-
- netdev@vger.kernel.org
-
- This may also include issues related to XDP, BPF tracing, etc.
-
- Given netdev has a high volume of traffic, please also add the BPF
- maintainers to Cc (from kernel MAINTAINERS file):
-
- Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
- Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
-
- In case a buggy commit has already been identified, make sure to keep
- the actual commit authors in Cc as well for the report. They can
- typically be identified through the kernel's git tree.
-
- Please do *not* report BPF issues to bugzilla.kernel.org since it
- is a guarantee that the reported issue will be overlooked.
-
-Submitting patches:
--------------------
-
-Q: To which mailing list do I need to submit my BPF patches?
-
-A: Please submit your BPF patches to the netdev kernel mailing list:
-
- netdev@vger.kernel.org
-
- Historically, BPF came out of networking and has always been maintained
- by the kernel networking community. Although these days BPF touches
- many other subsystems as well, the patches are still routed mainly
- through the networking community.
-
- In case your patch has changes in various different subsystems (e.g.
- tracing, security, etc), make sure to Cc the related kernel mailing
- lists and maintainers from there as well, so they are able to review
- the changes and provide their Acked-by's to the patches.
-
-Q: Where can I find patches currently under discussion for BPF subsystem?
-
-A: All patches that are Cc'ed to netdev are queued for review under netdev
- patchwork project:
-
- http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/
-
- Those patches which target BPF, are assigned to a 'bpf' delegate for
- further processing from BPF maintainers. The current queue with
- patches under review can be found at:
-
- https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/?delegate=77147
-
- Once the patches have been reviewed by the BPF community as a whole
- and approved by the BPF maintainers, their status in patchwork will be
- changed to 'Accepted' and the submitter will be notified by mail. This
- means that the patches look good from a BPF perspective and have been
- applied to one of the two BPF kernel trees.
-
- In case feedback from the community requires a respin of the patches,
- their status in patchwork will be set to 'Changes Requested', and purged
- from the current review queue. Likewise for cases where patches would
- get rejected or are not applicable to the BPF trees (but assigned to
- the 'bpf' delegate).
-
-Q: How do the changes make their way into Linux?
-
-A: There are two BPF kernel trees (git repositories). Once patches have
- been accepted by the BPF maintainers, they will be applied to one
- of the two BPF trees:
-
- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf.git/
- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next.git/
-
- The bpf tree itself is for fixes only, whereas bpf-next for features,
- cleanups or other kind of improvements ("next-like" content). This is
- analogous to net and net-next trees for networking. Both bpf and
- bpf-next will only have a master branch in order to simplify against
- which branch patches should get rebased to.
-
- Accumulated BPF patches in the bpf tree will regularly get pulled
- into the net kernel tree. Likewise, accumulated BPF patches accepted
- into the bpf-next tree will make their way into net-next tree. net and
- net-next are both run by David S. Miller. From there, they will go
- into the kernel mainline tree run by Linus Torvalds. To read up on the
- process of net and net-next being merged into the mainline tree, see
- the netdev FAQ under:
-
- Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt
-
- Occasionally, to prevent merge conflicts, we might send pull requests
- to other trees (e.g. tracing) with a small subset of the patches, but
- net and net-next are always the main trees targeted for integration.
-
- The pull requests will contain a high-level summary of the accumulated
- patches and can be searched on netdev kernel mailing list through the
- following subject lines (yyyy-mm-dd is the date of the pull request):
-
- pull-request: bpf yyyy-mm-dd
- pull-request: bpf-next yyyy-mm-dd
-
-Q: How do I indicate which tree (bpf vs. bpf-next) my patch should be
- applied to?
-
-A: The process is the very same as described in the netdev FAQ, so
- please read up on it. The subject line must indicate whether the
- patch is a fix or rather "next-like" content in order to let the
- maintainers know whether it is targeted at bpf or bpf-next.
-
- For fixes eventually landing in bpf -> net tree, the subject must
- look like:
-
- git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH bpf' start..finish
-
- For features/improvements/etc that should eventually land in
- bpf-next -> net-next, the subject must look like:
-
- git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH bpf-next' start..finish
-
- If unsure whether the patch or patch series should go into bpf
- or net directly, or bpf-next or net-next directly, it is not a
- problem either if the subject line says net or net-next as target.
- It is eventually up to the maintainers to do the delegation of
- the patches.
-
- If it is clear that patches should go into bpf or bpf-next tree,
- please make sure to rebase the patches against those trees in
- order to reduce potential conflicts.
-
- In case the patch or patch series has to be reworked and sent out
- again in a second or later revision, it is also required to add a
- version number (v2, v3, ...) into the subject prefix:
-
- git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH net-next v2' start..finish
-
- When changes have been requested to the patch series, always send the
- whole patch series again with the feedback incorporated (never send
- individual diffs on top of the old series).
-
-Q: What does it mean when a patch gets applied to bpf or bpf-next tree?
-
-A: It means that the patch looks good for mainline inclusion from
- a BPF point of view.
-
- Be aware that this is not a final verdict that the patch will
- automatically get accepted into net or net-next trees eventually:
-
- On the netdev kernel mailing list reviews can come in at any point
- in time. If discussions around a patch conclude that they cannot
- get included as-is, we will either apply a follow-up fix or drop
- them from the trees entirely. Therefore, we also reserve to rebase
- the trees when deemed necessary. After all, the purpose of the tree
- is to i) accumulate and stage BPF patches for integration into trees
- like net and net-next, and ii) run extensive BPF test suite and
- workloads on the patches before they make their way any further.
-
- Once the BPF pull request was accepted by David S. Miller, then
- the patches end up in net or net-next tree, respectively, and
- make their way from there further into mainline. Again, see the
- netdev FAQ for additional information e.g. on how often they are
- merged to mainline.
-
-Q: How long do I need to wait for feedback on my BPF patches?
-
-A: We try to keep the latency low. The usual time to feedback will
- be around 2 or 3 business days. It may vary depending on the
- complexity of changes and current patch load.
-
-Q: How often do you send pull requests to major kernel trees like
- net or net-next?
-
-A: Pull requests will be sent out rather often in order to not
- accumulate too many patches in bpf or bpf-next.
-
- As a rule of thumb, expect pull requests for each tree regularly
- at the end of the week. In some cases pull requests could additionally
- come also in the middle of the week depending on the current patch
- load or urgency.
-
-Q: Are patches applied to bpf-next when the merge window is open?
-
-A: For the time when the merge window is open, bpf-next will not be
- processed. This is roughly analogous to net-next patch processing,
- so feel free to read up on the netdev FAQ about further details.
-
- During those two weeks of merge window, we might ask you to resend
- your patch series once bpf-next is open again. Once Linus released
- a v*-rc1 after the merge window, we continue processing of bpf-next.
-
- For non-subscribers to kernel mailing lists, there is also a status
- page run by David S. Miller on net-next that provides guidance:
-
- http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/net-next.html
-
-Q: I made a BPF verifier change, do I need to add test cases for
- BPF kernel selftests?
-
-A: If the patch has changes to the behavior of the verifier, then yes,
- it is absolutely necessary to add test cases to the BPF kernel
- selftests suite. If they are not present and we think they are
- needed, then we might ask for them before accepting any changes.
-
- In particular, test_verifier.c is tracking a high number of BPF test
- cases, including a lot of corner cases that LLVM BPF back end may
- generate out of the restricted C code. Thus, adding test cases is
- absolutely crucial to make sure future changes do not accidentally
- affect prior use-cases. Thus, treat those test cases as: verifier
- behavior that is not tracked in test_verifier.c could potentially
- be subject to change.
-
-Q: When should I add code to samples/bpf/ and when to BPF kernel
- selftests?
-
-A: In general, we prefer additions to BPF kernel selftests rather than
- samples/bpf/. The rationale is very simple: kernel selftests are
- regularly run by various bots to test for kernel regressions.
-
- The more test cases we add to BPF selftests, the better the coverage
- and the less likely it is that those could accidentally break. It is
- not that BPF kernel selftests cannot demo how a specific feature can
- be used.
-
- That said, samples/bpf/ may be a good place for people to get started,
- so it might be advisable that simple demos of features could go into
- samples/bpf/, but advanced functional and corner-case testing rather
- into kernel selftests.
-
- If your sample looks like a test case, then go for BPF kernel selftests
- instead!
-
-Q: When should I add code to the bpftool?
-
-A: The main purpose of bpftool (under tools/bpf/bpftool/) is to provide
- a central user space tool for debugging and introspection of BPF programs
- and maps that are active in the kernel. If UAPI changes related to BPF
- enable for dumping additional information of programs or maps, then
- bpftool should be extended as well to support dumping them.
-
-Q: When should I add code to iproute2's BPF loader?
-
-A: For UAPI changes related to the XDP or tc layer (e.g. cls_bpf), the
- convention is that those control-path related changes are added to
- iproute2's BPF loader as well from user space side. This is not only
- useful to have UAPI changes properly designed to be usable, but also
- to make those changes available to a wider user base of major
- downstream distributions.
-
-Q: Do you accept patches as well for iproute2's BPF loader?
-
-A: Patches for the iproute2's BPF loader have to be sent to:
-
- netdev@vger.kernel.org
-
- While those patches are not processed by the BPF kernel maintainers,
- please keep them in Cc as well, so they can be reviewed.
-
- The official git repository for iproute2 is run by Stephen Hemminger
- and can be found at:
-
- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git/
-
- The patches need to have a subject prefix of '[PATCH iproute2 master]'
- or '[PATCH iproute2 net-next]'. 'master' or 'net-next' describes the
- target branch where the patch should be applied to. Meaning, if kernel
- changes went into the net-next kernel tree, then the related iproute2
- changes need to go into the iproute2 net-next branch, otherwise they
- can be targeted at master branch. The iproute2 net-next branch will get
- merged into the master branch after the current iproute2 version from
- master has been released.
-
- Like BPF, the patches end up in patchwork under the netdev project and
- are delegated to 'shemminger' for further processing:
-
- http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/?delegate=389
-
-Q: What is the minimum requirement before I submit my BPF patches?
-
-A: When submitting patches, always take the time and properly test your
- patches *prior* to submission. Never rush them! If maintainers find
- that your patches have not been properly tested, it is a good way to
- get them grumpy. Testing patch submissions is a hard requirement!
-
- Note, fixes that go to bpf tree *must* have a Fixes: tag included. The
- same applies to fixes that target bpf-next, where the affected commit
- is in net-next (or in some cases bpf-next). The Fixes: tag is crucial
- in order to identify follow-up commits and tremendously helps for people
- having to do backporting, so it is a must have!
-
- We also don't accept patches with an empty commit message. Take your
- time and properly write up a high quality commit message, it is
- essential!
-
- Think about it this way: other developers looking at your code a month
- from now need to understand *why* a certain change has been done that
- way, and whether there have been flaws in the analysis or assumptions
- that the original author did. Thus providing a proper rationale and
- describing the use-case for the changes is a must.
-
- Patch submissions with >1 patch must have a cover letter which includes
- a high level description of the series. This high level summary will
- then be placed into the merge commit by the BPF maintainers such that
- it is also accessible from the git log for future reference.
-
-Q: What do I need to consider when adding a new instruction or feature
- that would require BPF JIT and/or LLVM integration as well?
-
-A: We try hard to keep all BPF JITs up to date such that the same user
- experience can be guaranteed when running BPF programs on different
- architectures without having the program punt to the less efficient
- interpreter in case the in-kernel BPF JIT is enabled.
-
- If you are unable to implement or test the required JIT changes for
- certain architectures, please work together with the related BPF JIT
- developers in order to get the feature implemented in a timely manner.
- Please refer to the git log (arch/*/net/) to locate the necessary
- people for helping out.
-
- Also always make sure to add BPF test cases (e.g. test_bpf.c and
- test_verifier.c) for new instructions, so that they can receive
- broad test coverage and help run-time testing the various BPF JITs.
-
- In case of new BPF instructions, once the changes have been accepted
- into the Linux kernel, please implement support into LLVM's BPF back
- end. See LLVM section below for further information.
-
-Stable submission:
-------------------
-
-Q: I need a specific BPF commit in stable kernels. What should I do?
-
-A: In case you need a specific fix in stable kernels, first check whether
- the commit has already been applied in the related linux-*.y branches:
-
- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/
-
- If not the case, then drop an email to the BPF maintainers with the
- netdev kernel mailing list in Cc and ask for the fix to be queued up:
-
- netdev@vger.kernel.org
-
- The process in general is the same as on netdev itself, see also the
- netdev FAQ document.
-
-Q: Do you also backport to kernels not currently maintained as stable?
-
-A: No. If you need a specific BPF commit in kernels that are currently not
- maintained by the stable maintainers, then you are on your own.
-
- The current stable and longterm stable kernels are all listed here:
-
- https://www.kernel.org/
-
-Q: The BPF patch I am about to submit needs to go to stable as well. What
- should I do?
-
-A: The same rules apply as with netdev patch submissions in general, see
- netdev FAQ under:
-
- Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt
-
- Never add "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" to the patch description, but
- ask the BPF maintainers to queue the patches instead. This can be done
- with a note, for example, under the "---" part of the patch which does
- not go into the git log. Alternatively, this can be done as a simple
- request by mail instead.
-
-Q: Where do I find currently queued BPF patches that will be submitted
- to stable?
-
-A: Once patches that fix critical bugs got applied into the bpf tree, they
- are queued up for stable submission under:
-
- http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/bpf/stable/?state=*
-
- They will be on hold there at minimum until the related commit made its
- way into the mainline kernel tree.
-
- After having been under broader exposure, the queued patches will be
- submitted by the BPF maintainers to the stable maintainers.
-
-Testing patches:
-----------------
-
-Q: Which BPF kernel selftests version should I run my kernel against?
-
-A: If you run a kernel xyz, then always run the BPF kernel selftests from
- that kernel xyz as well. Do not expect that the BPF selftest from the
- latest mainline tree will pass all the time.
-
- In particular, test_bpf.c and test_verifier.c have a large number of
- test cases and are constantly updated with new BPF test sequences, or
- existing ones are adapted to verifier changes e.g. due to verifier
- becoming smarter and being able to better track certain things.
-
-LLVM:
------
-
-Q: Where do I find LLVM with BPF support?
-
-A: The BPF back end for LLVM is upstream in LLVM since version 3.7.1.
-
- All major distributions these days ship LLVM with BPF back end enabled,
- so for the majority of use-cases it is not required to compile LLVM by
- hand anymore, just install the distribution provided package.
-
- LLVM's static compiler lists the supported targets through 'llc --version',
- make sure BPF targets are listed. Example:
-
- $ llc --version
- LLVM (http://llvm.org/):
- LLVM version 6.0.0svn
- Optimized build.
- Default target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
- Host CPU: skylake
-
- Registered Targets:
- bpf - BPF (host endian)
- bpfeb - BPF (big endian)
- bpfel - BPF (little endian)
- x86 - 32-bit X86: Pentium-Pro and above
- x86-64 - 64-bit X86: EM64T and AMD64
-
- For developers in order to utilize the latest features added to LLVM's
- BPF back end, it is advisable to run the latest LLVM releases. Support
- for new BPF kernel features such as additions to the BPF instruction
- set are often developed together.
-
- All LLVM releases can be found at: http://releases.llvm.org/
-
-Q: Got it, so how do I build LLVM manually anyway?
-
-A: You need cmake and gcc-c++ as build requisites for LLVM. Once you have
- that set up, proceed with building the latest LLVM and clang version
- from the git repositories:
-
- $ git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
- $ cd llvm/tools
- $ git clone --depth 1 http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
- $ cd ..; mkdir build; cd build
- $ cmake .. -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="BPF;X86" \
- -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF \
- -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
- -DLLVM_BUILD_RUNTIME=OFF
- $ make -j $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
-
- The built binaries can then be found in the build/bin/ directory, where
- you can point the PATH variable to.
-
-Q: Should I notify BPF kernel maintainers about issues in LLVM's BPF code
- generation back end or about LLVM generated code that the verifier
- refuses to accept?
-
-A: Yes, please do! LLVM's BPF back end is a key piece of the whole BPF
- infrastructure and it ties deeply into verification of programs from the
- kernel side. Therefore, any issues on either side need to be investigated
- and fixed whenever necessary.
-
- Therefore, please make sure to bring them up at netdev kernel mailing
- list and Cc BPF maintainers for LLVM and kernel bits:
-
- Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com>
- Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
- Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
-
- LLVM also has an issue tracker where BPF related bugs can be found:
-
- https://bugs.llvm.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=bpf
-
- However, it is better to reach out through mailing lists with having
- maintainers in Cc.
-
-Q: I have added a new BPF instruction to the kernel, how can I integrate
- it into LLVM?
-
-A: LLVM has a -mcpu selector for the BPF back end in order to allow the
- selection of BPF instruction set extensions. By default the 'generic'
- processor target is used, which is the base instruction set (v1) of BPF.
-
- LLVM has an option to select -mcpu=probe where it will probe the host
- kernel for supported BPF instruction set extensions and selects the
- optimal set automatically.
-
- For cross-compilation, a specific version can be select manually as well.
-
- $ llc -march bpf -mcpu=help
- Available CPUs for this target:
-
- generic - Select the generic processor.
- probe - Select the probe processor.
- v1 - Select the v1 processor.
- v2 - Select the v2 processor.
- [...]
-
- Newly added BPF instructions to the Linux kernel need to follow the same
- scheme, bump the instruction set version and implement probing for the
- extensions such that -mcpu=probe users can benefit from the optimization
- transparently when upgrading their kernels.
-
- If you are unable to implement support for the newly added BPF instruction
- please reach out to BPF developers for help.
-
- By the way, the BPF kernel selftests run with -mcpu=probe for better
- test coverage.
-
-Q: In some cases clang flag "-target bpf" is used but in other cases the
- default clang target, which matches the underlying architecture, is used.
- What is the difference and when I should use which?
-
-A: Although LLVM IR generation and optimization try to stay architecture
- independent, "-target <arch>" still has some impact on generated code:
-
- - BPF program may recursively include header file(s) with file scope
- inline assembly codes. The default target can handle this well,
- while bpf target may fail if bpf backend assembler does not
- understand these assembly codes, which is true in most cases.
-
- - When compiled without -g, additional elf sections, e.g.,
- .eh_frame and .rela.eh_frame, may be present in the object file
- with default target, but not with bpf target.
-
- - The default target may turn a C switch statement into a switch table
- lookup and jump operation. Since the switch table is placed
- in the global readonly section, the bpf program will fail to load.
- The bpf target does not support switch table optimization.
- The clang option "-fno-jump-tables" can be used to disable
- switch table generation.
-
- - For clang -target bpf, it is guaranteed that pointer or long /
- unsigned long types will always have a width of 64 bit, no matter
- whether underlying clang binary or default target (or kernel) is
- 32 bit. However, when native clang target is used, then it will
- compile these types based on the underlying architecture's conventions,
- meaning in case of 32 bit architecture, pointer or long / unsigned
- long types e.g. in BPF context structure will have width of 32 bit
- while the BPF LLVM back end still operates in 64 bit. The native
- target is mostly needed in tracing for the case of walking pt_regs
- or other kernel structures where CPU's register width matters.
- Otherwise, clang -target bpf is generally recommended.
-
- You should use default target when:
-
- - Your program includes a header file, e.g., ptrace.h, which eventually
- pulls in some header files containing file scope host assembly codes.
- - You can add "-fno-jump-tables" to work around the switch table issue.
-
- Otherwise, you can use bpf target. Additionally, you _must_ use bpf target
- when:
-
- - Your program uses data structures with pointer or long / unsigned long
- types that interface with BPF helpers or context data structures. Access
- into these structures is verified by the BPF verifier and may result
- in verification failures if the native architecture is not aligned with
- the BPF architecture, e.g. 64-bit. An example of this is
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG require '-target bpf'
-
-Happy BPF hacking!

+=================================
+GFP masks used from FS/IO context
+=================================
+
+:Date: May, 2018
+:Author: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org>
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Code paths in the filesystem and IO stacks must be careful when
+allocating memory to prevent recursion deadlocks caused by direct
+memory reclaim calling back into the FS or IO paths and blocking on
+already held resources (e.g. locks - most commonly those used for the
+transaction context).
+
+The traditional way to avoid this deadlock problem is to clear __GFP_FS
+respectively __GFP_IO (note the latter implies clearing the first as well) in
+the gfp mask when calling an allocator. GFP_NOFS respectively GFP_NOIO can be
+used as shortcut. It turned out though that above approach has led to
+abuses when the restricted gfp mask is used "just in case" without a
+deeper consideration which leads to problems because an excessive use
+of GFP_NOFS/GFP_NOIO can lead to memory over-reclaim or other memory
+reclaim issues.
+
+New API
+========
+
+Since 4.12 we do have a generic scope API for both NOFS and NOIO context
+``memalloc_nofs_save``, ``memalloc_nofs_restore`` respectively ``memalloc_noio_save``,
+``memalloc_noio_restore`` which allow to mark a scope to be a critical
+section from a filesystem or I/O point of view. Any allocation from that
+scope will inherently drop __GFP_FS respectively __GFP_IO from the given
+mask so no memory allocation can recurse back in the FS/IO.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/sched/mm.h
+ :functions: memalloc_nofs_save memalloc_nofs_restore
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/sched/mm.h
+ :functions: memalloc_noio_save memalloc_noio_restore
+
+FS/IO code then simply calls the appropriate save function before
+any critical section with respect to the reclaim is started - e.g.
+lock shared with the reclaim context or when a transaction context
+nesting would be possible via reclaim. The restore function should be
+called when the critical section ends. All that ideally along with an
+explanation what is the reclaim context for easier maintenance.
+
+Please note that the proper pairing of save/restore functions
+allows nesting so it is safe to call ``memalloc_noio_save`` or
+``memalloc_noio_restore`` respectively from an existing NOIO or NOFS
+scope.
+
+What about __vmalloc(GFP_NOFS)
+==============================
+
+vmalloc doesn't support GFP_NOFS semantic because there are hardcoded
+GFP_KERNEL allocations deep inside the allocator which are quite non-trivial
+to fix up. That means that calling ``vmalloc`` with GFP_NOFS/GFP_NOIO is
+almost always a bug. The good news is that the NOFS/NOIO semantic can be
+achieved by the scope API.
+
+In the ideal world, upper layers should already mark dangerous contexts
+and so no special care is required and vmalloc should be called without
+any problems. Sometimes if the context is not really clear or there are
+layering violations then the recommended way around that is to wrap ``vmalloc``
+by the scope API with a comment explaining the problem.

+* Actions S900 Clock Management Unit (CMU)
+
+The Actions S900 clock management unit generates and supplies clock to various
+controllers within the SoC. The clock binding described here is applicable to
+S900 SoC.
+
+Required Properties:
+
+- compatible: should be "actions,s900-cmu"
+- reg: physical base address of the controller and length of memory mapped
+ region.
+- clocks: Reference to the parent clocks ("hosc", "losc")
+- #clock-cells: should be 1.
+
+Each clock is assigned an identifier, and client nodes can use this identifier
+to specify the clock which they consume.
+
+All available clocks are defined as preprocessor macros in
+dt-bindings/clock/actions,s900-cmu.h header and can be used in device
+tree sources.
+
+External clocks:
+
+The hosc clock used as input for the plls is generated outside the SoC. It is
+expected that it is defined using standard clock bindings as "hosc".
+
+Actions S900 CMU also requires one more clock:
+ - "losc" - internal low frequency oscillator
+
+Example: Clock Management Unit node:
+
+ cmu: clock-controller@e0160000 {
+ compatible = "actions,s900-cmu";
+ reg = <0x0 0xe0160000 0x0 0x1000>;

+* Nuvoton NPCM7XX Clock Controller
+
+Nuvoton Poleg BMC NPCM7XX contains an integrated clock controller, which
+generates and supplies clocks to all modules within the BMC.
+
+External clocks:
+
+There are six fixed clocks that are generated outside the BMC. All clocks are of
+a known fixed value that cannot be changed. clk_refclk, clk_mcbypck and
+clk_sysbypck are inputs to the clock controller.
+clk_rg1refck, clk_rg2refck and clk_xin are external clocks suppling the
+network. They are set on the device tree, but not used by the clock module. The
+network devices use them directly.
+Example can be found below.
+
+All available clocks are defined as preprocessor macros in:
+dt-bindings/clock/nuvoton,npcm7xx-clock.h
+and can be reused as DT sources.
+
+Required Properties of clock controller:
+
+ - compatible: "nuvoton,npcm750-clk" : for clock controller of Nuvoton
+ Poleg BMC NPCM750

+
+ /* external reference clock for cpu. float in normal operation */

+Allwinner A31 DSI Encoder
+=========================
+
+The DSI pipeline consists of two separate blocks: the DSI controller
+itself, and its associated D-PHY.
+
+DSI Encoder
+-----------
+
+The DSI Encoder generates the DSI signal from the TCON's.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: value must be one of:
+ * allwinner,sun6i-a31-mipi-dsi
+ - reg: base address and size of memory-mapped region
+ - interrupts: interrupt associated to this IP
+ - clocks: phandles to the clocks feeding the DSI encoder
+ * bus: the DSI interface clock
+ * mod: the DSI module clock
+ - clock-names: the clock names mentioned above
+ - phys: phandle to the D-PHY
+ - phy-names: must be "dphy"
+ - resets: phandle to the reset controller driving the encoder
+
+ - ports: A ports node with endpoint definitions as defined in
+ Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt. The
+ first port should be the input endpoint, usually coming from the
+ associated TCON.
+
+Any MIPI-DSI device attached to this should be described according to
+the bindings defined in ../mipi-dsi-bus.txt
+
+D-PHY

-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. In this section, we define device tree nodes to describe
-the system controller chip itself and each of the peripherals
-which it contains. Compatible string values for each node are
-prefixed with the string "marvell,", for Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
-
-1) The /system-controller node
-
- This node is used to represent the system-controller and must be
- present when the system uses a system controller chip. The top-level
- system-controller node contains information that is global to all
- devices within the system controller chip. The node name begins
- with "system-controller" followed by the unit address, which is
- the base address of the memory-mapped register set for the system
- controller chip.
-
- Required properties:
-
- - ranges : Describes the translation of system controller addresses
- for memory mapped registers.
- - clock-frequency: Contains the main clock frequency for the system
- controller chip.
- - reg : This property defines the address and size of the
- memory-mapped registers contained within the system controller
- chip. The address specified in the "reg" property should match
- the unit address of the system-controller node.
- - #address-cells : Address representation for system controller
- devices. This field represents the number of cells needed to
- represent the address of the memory-mapped registers of devices
- within the system controller chip.
- - #size-cells : Size representation for the memory-mapped
- registers within the system controller chip.
- - #interrupt-cells : Defines the width of cells used to represent
- interrupts.
-
- Optional properties:
-
- - model : The specific model of the system controller chip. Such
- as, "mv64360", "mv64460", or "mv64560".
- - compatible : A string identifying the compatibility identifiers
- of the system controller chip.
-
- The system-controller node contains child nodes for each system
- controller device that the platform uses. Nodes should not be created
- for devices which exist on the system controller chip but are not used
-
- Example Marvell Discovery mv64360 system-controller node:
-
- system-controller@f1000000 { /* Marvell Discovery mv64360 */
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <1>;
- model = "mv64360"; /* Default */
- compatible = "marvell,mv64360";
- clock-frequency = <133333333>;
- reg = <0xf1000000 0x10000>;
- virtual-reg = <0xf1000000>;
- ranges = <0x88000000 0x88000000 0x1000000 /* PCI 0 I/O Space */
- 0x80000000 0x80000000 0x8000000 /* PCI 0 MEM Space */
- 0xa0000000 0xa0000000 0x4000000 /* User FLASH */
- 0x00000000 0xf1000000 0x0010000 /* Bridge's regs */
- 0xf2000000 0xf2000000 0x0040000>;/* Integrated SRAM */
-
- [ child node definitions... ]
- }
-
-2) Child nodes of /system-controller
-
- a) Marvell Discovery MDIO bus
-
- The MDIO is a bus to which the PHY devices are connected. For each
- device that exists on this bus, a child node should be created. See
- the definition of the PHY node below for an example of how to define
- a PHY.
-
- Required properties:
- - #address-cells : Should be <1>
- - #size-cells : Should be <0>
- - compatible : Should be "marvell,mv64360-mdio"
-
- Example:
-
- mdio {
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <0>;
- compatible = "marvell,mv64360-mdio";
-
- ethernet-phy@0 {
- ......
- };
- };
-
-
- b) Marvell Discovery ethernet controller
-
- The Discover ethernet controller is described with two levels
- of nodes. The first level describes an ethernet silicon block
- and the second level describes up to 3 ethernet nodes within
- that block. The reason for the multiple levels is that the
- registers for the node are interleaved within a single set
- of registers. The "ethernet-block" level describes the
- shared register set, and the "ethernet" nodes describe ethernet
- port-specific properties.

+ * sys_clk: main clock
+ * p_clk: register bank clock
+ * pixel_if[0-3]_clk: pixel stream output clock, one for each stream
+ implemented in hardware, between 0 and 3
+
+Optional properties:
+ - phys: phandle to the external D-PHY, phy-names must be provided
+ - phy-names: must contain "dphy", if the implementation uses an

+Broadcom BCM47xx Partitions
+===========================
+
+Broadcom is one of hardware manufacturers providing SoCs (BCM47xx) used in
+home routers. Their BCM947xx boards using CFE bootloader have several partitions
+without any on-flash partition table. On some devices their sizes and/or
+meanings can also vary so fixed partitioning can't be used.
+
+Discovering partitions on these devices is possible thanks to having a special
+header and/or magic signature at the beginning of each of them. They are also
+block aligned which is important for determinig a size.
+
+Most of partitions use ASCII text based magic for determining a type. More
+complex partitions (like TRX with its HDR0 magic) may include extra header
+containing some details, including a length.
+
+A list of supported partitions includes:
+1) Bootloader with Broadcom's CFE (Common Firmware Environment)
+2) NVRAM with configuration/calibration data
+3) Device manufacturer's data with some default values (e.g. SSIDs)
+4) TRX firmware container which can hold up to 4 subpartitions
+5) Backup TRX firmware used after failed upgrade
+
+As mentioned earlier, role of some partitions may depend on extra configuration.
+For example both: main firmware and backup firmware use the same TRX format with
+the same header. To distinguish currently used firmware a CFE's environment
+variable "bootpartition" is used.
+
+
+Devices using Broadcom partitions described above should should have flash node
+with a subnode named "partitions" using following properties:
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : (required) must be "brcm,bcm947xx-cfe-partitions"
+
+Example:
+
+flash@0 {
+ partitions {
+ compatible = "brcm,bcm947xx-cfe-partitions";
+ };

- - interrupts There should be at least two interrupts. Some devices
- have as many as four PTP related interrupts.
-
-Clock Properties:
-
- - fsl,cksel Timer reference clock source.
- - fsl,tclk-period Timer reference clock period in nanoseconds.
- - fsl,tmr-prsc Prescaler, divides the output clock.
- - fsl,tmr-add Frequency compensation value.
- - fsl,tmr-fiper1 Fixed interval period pulse generator.
- - fsl,tmr-fiper2 Fixed interval period pulse generator.
- - fsl,max-adj Maximum frequency adjustment in parts per billion.
-
- These properties set the operational parameters for the PTP
- clock. You must choose these carefully for the clock to work right.
- Here is how to figure good values:
-
- TimerOsc = selected reference clock MHz
- tclk_period = desired clock period nanoseconds
- NominalFreq = 1000 / tclk_period MHz
- FreqDivRatio = TimerOsc / NominalFreq (must be greater that 1.0)
- tmr_add = ceil(2^32 / FreqDivRatio)
- OutputClock = NominalFreq / tmr_prsc MHz
- PulseWidth = 1 / OutputClock microseconds
- FiperFreq1 = desired frequency in Hz
- FiperDiv1 = 1000000 * OutputClock / FiperFreq1
- tmr_fiper1 = tmr_prsc * tclk_period * FiperDiv1 - tclk_period
- max_adj = 1000000000 * (FreqDivRatio - 1.0) - 1
-
- The calculation for tmr_fiper2 is the same as for tmr_fiper1. The
- driver expects that tmr_fiper1 will be correctly set to produce a 1
- Pulse Per Second (PPS) signal, since this will be offered to the PPS
- subsystem to synchronize the Linux clock.
-
- Reference clock source is determined by the value, which is holded
- in CKSEL bits in TMR_CTRL register. "fsl,cksel" property keeps the
- value, which will be directly written in those bits, that is why,
- according to reference manual, the next clock sources can be used:
-
- <0> - external high precision timer reference clock (TSEC_TMR_CLK
- input is used for this purpose);
- <1> - eTSEC system clock;
- <2> - eTSEC1 transmit clock;
- <3> - RTC clock input.
-
- When this attribute is not used, eTSEC system clock will serve as
- IEEE 1588 timer reference clock.
-
-Example:
-
- ptp_clock@24e00 {
- compatible = "fsl,etsec-ptp";
- reg = <0x24E00 0xB0>;
- interrupts = <12 0x8 13 0x8>;
- interrupt-parent = < &ipic >;
- fsl,cksel = <1>;
- fsl,tclk-period = <10>;
- fsl,tmr-prsc = <100>;
- fsl,tmr-add = <0x999999A4>;
- fsl,tmr-fiper1 = <0x3B9AC9F6>;
- fsl,tmr-fiper2 = <0x00018696>;
- fsl,max-adj = <659999998>;

+Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. KRYO CPUFreq and OPP bindings
+===================================
+
+In Certain Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. SoCs like apq8096 and msm8996
+that have KRYO processors, the CPU ferequencies subset and voltage value
+of each OPP varies based on the silicon variant in use.
+Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Process Voltage Scaling Tables
+defines the voltage and frequency value based on the msm-id in SMEM
+and speedbin blown in the efuse combination.
+The qcom-cpufreq-kryo driver reads the msm-id and efuse value from the SoC
+to provide the OPP framework with required information (existing HW bitmap).
+This is used to determine the voltage and frequency value for each OPP of
+operating-points-v2 table when it is parsed by the OPP framework.
+
+Required properties:
+--------------------
+In 'cpus' nodes:
+- operating-points-v2: Phandle to the operating-points-v2 table to use.
+
+In 'operating-points-v2' table:
+- compatible: Should be
+ - 'operating-points-v2-kryo-cpu' for apq8096 and msm8996.
+- nvmem-cells: A phandle pointing to a nvmem-cells node representing the
+ efuse registers that has information about the
+ speedbin that is used to select the right frequency/voltage
+ value pair.
+ Please refer the for nvmem-cells
+ bindings Documentation/devicetree/bindings/nvmem/nvmem.txt
+ and also examples below.
+
+In every OPP node:
+- opp-supported-hw: A single 32 bit bitmap value, representing compatible HW.
+ Bitmap:
+ 0: MSM8996 V3, speedbin 0
+ 1: MSM8996 V3, speedbin 1
+ 2: MSM8996 V3, speedbin 2
+ 3: unused
+ 4: MSM8996 SG, speedbin 0
+ 5: MSM8996 SG, speedbin 1
+ 6: MSM8996 SG, speedbin 2
+ 7-31: unused

+MediaTek XS-PHY binding
+--------------------------
+
+The XS-PHY controller supports physical layer functionality for USB3.1
+GEN2 controller on MediaTek SoCs.
+
+Required properties (controller (parent) node):
+ - compatible : should be "mediatek,<soc-model>-xsphy", "mediatek,xsphy",
+ soc-model is the name of SoC, such as mt3611 etc;
+ when using "mediatek,xsphy" compatible string, you need SoC specific
+ ones in addition, one of:
+ - "mediatek,mt3611-xsphy"
+
+ - #address-cells, #size-cells : should use the same values as the root node
+ - ranges: must be present
+
+Optional properties (controller (parent) node):
+ - reg : offset and length of register shared by multiple U3 ports,
+ exclude port's private register, if only U2 ports provided,
+ shouldn't use the property.
+ - mediatek,src-ref-clk-mhz : u32, frequency of reference clock for slew rate
+ calibrate
+ - mediatek,src-coef : u32, coefficient for slew rate calibrate, depends on
+ SoC process
+
+Required nodes : a sub-node is required for each port the controller
+ provides. Address range information including the usual
+ 'reg' property is used inside these nodes to describe
+ the controller's topology.
+
+Required properties (port (child) node):
+- reg : address and length of the register set for the port.
+- clocks : a list of phandle + clock-specifier pairs, one for each
+ entry in clock-names
+- clock-names : must contain
+ "ref": 48M reference clock for HighSpeed analog phy; and 26M
+ reference clock for SuperSpeedPlus analog phy, sometimes is
+ 24M, 25M or 27M, depended on platform.
+- #phy-cells : should be 1
+ cell after port phandle is phy type from:
+ - PHY_TYPE_USB2
+ - PHY_TYPE_USB3
+
+The following optional properties are only for debug or HQA test
+Optional properties (PHY_TYPE_USB2 port (child) node):
+- mediatek,eye-src : u32, the value of slew rate calibrate
+- mediatek,eye-vrt : u32, the selection of VRT reference voltage
+- mediatek,eye-term : u32, the selection of HS_TX TERM reference voltage
+- mediatek,efuse-intr : u32, the selection of Internal Resistor
+
+Optional properties (PHY_TYPE_USB3 port (child) node):
+- mediatek,efuse-intr : u32, the selection of Internal Resistor
+- mediatek,efuse-tx-imp : u32, the selection of TX Impedance
+- mediatek,efuse-rx-imp : u32, the selection of RX Impedance

+* Freescale QorIQ 1588 timer based PTP clock
+
+General Properties:
+
+ - compatible Should be "fsl,etsec-ptp"
+ - reg Offset and length of the register set for the device
+ - interrupts There should be at least two interrupts. Some devices
+ have as many as four PTP related interrupts.
+
+Clock Properties:
+
+ - fsl,cksel Timer reference clock source.
+ - fsl,tclk-period Timer reference clock period in nanoseconds.
+ - fsl,tmr-prsc Prescaler, divides the output clock.
+ - fsl,tmr-add Frequency compensation value.
+ - fsl,tmr-fiper1 Fixed interval period pulse generator.
+ - fsl,tmr-fiper2 Fixed interval period pulse generator.
+ - fsl,max-adj Maximum frequency adjustment in parts per billion.
+
+ These properties set the operational parameters for the PTP
+ clock. You must choose these carefully for the clock to work right.
+ Here is how to figure good values:
+
+ TimerOsc = selected reference clock MHz
+ tclk_period = desired clock period nanoseconds
+ NominalFreq = 1000 / tclk_period MHz
+ FreqDivRatio = TimerOsc / NominalFreq (must be greater that 1.0)
+ tmr_add = ceil(2^32 / FreqDivRatio)
+ OutputClock = NominalFreq / tmr_prsc MHz
+ PulseWidth = 1 / OutputClock microseconds
+ FiperFreq1 = desired frequency in Hz
+ FiperDiv1 = 1000000 * OutputClock / FiperFreq1
+ tmr_fiper1 = tmr_prsc * tclk_period * FiperDiv1 - tclk_period
+ max_adj = 1000000000 * (FreqDivRatio - 1.0) - 1
+
+ The calculation for tmr_fiper2 is the same as for tmr_fiper1. The
+ driver expects that tmr_fiper1 will be correctly set to produce a 1
+ Pulse Per Second (PPS) signal, since this will be offered to the PPS
+ subsystem to synchronize the Linux clock.
+
+ Reference clock source is determined by the value, which is holded
+ in CKSEL bits in TMR_CTRL register. "fsl,cksel" property keeps the
+ value, which will be directly written in those bits, that is why,
+ according to reference manual, the next clock sources can be used:
+
+ <0> - external high precision timer reference clock (TSEC_TMR_CLK
+ input is used for this purpose);
+ <1> - eTSEC system clock;
+ <2> - eTSEC1 transmit clock;
+ <3> - RTC clock input.
+
+ When this attribute is not used, eTSEC system clock will serve as
+ IEEE 1588 timer reference clock.
+
+Example:
+
+ ptp_clock@24e00 {
+ compatible = "fsl,etsec-ptp";
+ reg = <0x24E00 0xB0>;
+ interrupts = <12 0x8 13 0x8>;
+ interrupt-parent = < &ipic >;
+ fsl,cksel = <1>;
+ fsl,tclk-period = <10>;
+ fsl,tmr-prsc = <100>;
+ fsl,tmr-add = <0x999999A4>;
+ fsl,tmr-fiper1 = <0x3B9AC9F6>;
+ fsl,tmr-fiper2 = <0x00018696>;
+ fsl,max-adj = <659999998>;

+ROHM BD71837 Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) regulator bindings
+
+BD71837MWV is a programmable Power Management
+IC (PMIC) for powering single-core, dual-core, and
+quad-core SoC’s such as NXP-i.MX 8M. It is optimized
+for low BOM cost and compact solution footprint. It
+integrates 8 Buck regulators and 7 LDO’s to provide all
+the power rails required by the SoC and the commonly
+used peripherals.
+
+Required properties:
+ - regulator-name: should be "buck1", ..., "buck8" and "ldo1", ..., "ldo7"
+
+List of regulators provided by this controller. BD71837 regulators node
+should be sub node of the BD71837 MFD node. See BD71837 MFD bindings at
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/rohm,bd71837-pmic.txt
+Regulator nodes should be named to BUCK_<number> and LDO_<number>. The
+definition for each of these nodes is defined using the standard
+binding for regulators at

+Note that if BD71837 starts at RUN state you probably want to use
+regulator-boot-on at least for BUCK6 and BUCK7 so that those are not

+FPGA Manager
+============
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The FPGA manager core exports a set of functions for programming an FPGA with
+an image. The API is manufacturer agnostic. All manufacturer specifics are
+hidden away in a low level driver which registers a set of ops with the core.
+The FPGA image data itself is very manufacturer specific, but for our purposes
+it's just binary data. The FPGA manager core won't parse it.
+
+The FPGA image to be programmed can be in a scatter gather list, a single
+contiguous buffer, or a firmware file. Because allocating contiguous kernel
+memory for the buffer should be avoided, users are encouraged to use a scatter
+gather list instead if possible.
+
+The particulars for programming the image are presented in a structure (struct
+fpga_image_info). This struct contains parameters such as pointers to the
+FPGA image as well as image-specific particulars such as whether the image was
+built for full or partial reconfiguration.
+
+How to support a new FPGA device
+--------------------------------
+
+To add another FPGA manager, write a driver that implements a set of ops. The
+probe function calls fpga_mgr_register(), such as::
+
+ static const struct fpga_manager_ops socfpga_fpga_ops = {
+ .write_init = socfpga_fpga_ops_configure_init,
+ .write = socfpga_fpga_ops_configure_write,
+ .write_complete = socfpga_fpga_ops_configure_complete,
+ .state = socfpga_fpga_ops_state,
+ };
+
+ static int socfpga_fpga_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
+ {
+ struct device *dev = &pdev->dev;
+ struct socfpga_fpga_priv *priv;
+ struct fpga_manager *mgr;
+ int ret;
+
+ priv = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*priv), GFP_KERNEL);
+ if (!priv)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+
+ /*
+ * do ioremaps, get interrupts, etc. and save
+ * them in priv
+ */
+
+ mgr = fpga_mgr_create(dev, "Altera SOCFPGA FPGA Manager",
+ &socfpga_fpga_ops, priv);
+ if (!mgr)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+
+ platform_set_drvdata(pdev, mgr);
+
+ ret = fpga_mgr_register(mgr);
+ if (ret)
+ fpga_mgr_free(mgr);
+
+ return ret;
+ }
+
+ static int socfpga_fpga_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
+ {
+ struct fpga_manager *mgr = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);
+
+ fpga_mgr_unregister(mgr);
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+
+The ops will implement whatever device specific register writes are needed to
+do the programming sequence for this particular FPGA. These ops return 0 for
+success or negative error codes otherwise.
+
+The programming sequence is::
+ 1. .write_init
+ 2. .write or .write_sg (may be called once or multiple times)
+ 3. .write_complete
+
+The .write_init function will prepare the FPGA to receive the image data. The
+buffer passed into .write_init will be atmost .initial_header_size bytes long,
+if the whole bitstream is not immediately available then the core code will
+buffer up at least this much before starting.
+
+The .write function writes a buffer to the FPGA. The buffer may be contain the
+whole FPGA image or may be a smaller chunk of an FPGA image. In the latter
+case, this function is called multiple times for successive chunks. This interface
+is suitable for drivers which use PIO.
+
+The .write_sg version behaves the same as .write except the input is a sg_table
+scatter list. This interface is suitable for drivers which use DMA.
+
+The .write_complete function is called after all the image has been written
+to put the FPGA into operating mode.
+
+The ops include a .state function which will read the hardware FPGA manager and
+return a code of type enum fpga_mgr_states. It doesn't result in a change in
+hardware state.
+
+How to write an image buffer to a supported FPGA
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Some sample code::
+
+ #include <linux/fpga/fpga-mgr.h>
+
+ struct fpga_manager *mgr;
+ struct fpga_image_info *info;
+ int ret;
+
+ /*
+ * Get a reference to FPGA manager. The manager is not locked, so you can
+ * hold onto this reference without it preventing programming.
+ *
+ * This example uses the device node of the manager. Alternatively, use
+ * fpga_mgr_get(dev) instead if you have the device.
+ */
+ mgr = of_fpga_mgr_get(mgr_node);
+
+ /* struct with information about the FPGA image to program. */
+ info = fpga_image_info_alloc(dev);
+
+ /* flags indicates whether to do full or partial reconfiguration */
+ info->flags = FPGA_MGR_PARTIAL_RECONFIG;
+
+ /*
+ * At this point, indicate where the image is. This is pseudo-code; you're
+ * going to use one of these three.
+ */
+ if (image is in a scatter gather table) {
+
+ info->sgt = [your scatter gather table]
+
+ } else if (image is in a buffer) {
+
+ info->buf = [your image buffer]
+ info->count = [image buffer size]
+
+ } else if (image is in a firmware file) {
+
+ info->firmware_name = devm_kstrdup(dev, firmware_name, GFP_KERNEL);
+
+ }
+
+ /* Get exclusive control of FPGA manager */
+ ret = fpga_mgr_lock(mgr);
+
+ /* Load the buffer to the FPGA */
+ ret = fpga_mgr_buf_load(mgr, &info, buf, count);
+
+ /* Release the FPGA manager */
+ fpga_mgr_unlock(mgr);
+ fpga_mgr_put(mgr);
+
+ /* Deallocate the image info if you're done with it */
+ fpga_image_info_free(info);

+FPGA Region
+===========
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This document is meant to be an brief overview of the FPGA region API usage. A
+more conceptual look at regions can be found in the Device Tree binding
+document [#f1]_.
+
+For the purposes of this API document, let's just say that a region associates
+an FPGA Manager and a bridge (or bridges) with a reprogrammable region of an
+FPGA or the whole FPGA. The API provides a way to register a region and to
+program a region.
+
+Currently the only layer above fpga-region.c in the kernel is the Device Tree
+support (of-fpga-region.c) described in [#f1]_. The DT support layer uses regions
+to program the FPGA and then DT to handle enumeration. The common region code
+is intended to be used by other schemes that have other ways of accomplishing
+enumeration after programming.
+
+An fpga-region can be set up to know the following things:
+
+ * which FPGA manager to use to do the programming
+
+ * which bridges to disable before programming and enable afterwards.
+
+Additional info needed to program the FPGA image is passed in the struct
+fpga_image_info including:
+
+ * pointers to the image as either a scatter-gather buffer, a contiguous
+ buffer, or the name of firmware file
+
+ * flags indicating specifics such as whether the image if for partial
+ reconfiguration.
+
+How to program a FPGA using a region
+------------------------------------
+
+First, allocate the info struct::
+
+ info = fpga_image_info_alloc(dev);
+ if (!info)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+
+Set flags as needed, i.e.::
+
+ info->flags |= FPGA_MGR_PARTIAL_RECONFIG;
+
+Point to your FPGA image, such as::
+
+ info->sgt = &sgt;
+
+Add info to region and do the programming::
+
+ region->info = info;
+ ret = fpga_region_program_fpga(region);
+
+:c:func:`fpga_region_program_fpga()` operates on info passed in the
+fpga_image_info (region->info). This function will attempt to:
+
+ * lock the region's mutex
+ * lock the region's FPGA manager
+ * build a list of FPGA bridges if a method has been specified to do so
+ * disable the bridges

+Introduction
+============
+
+The FPGA subsystem supports reprogramming FPGAs dynamically under
+Linux. Some of the core intentions of the FPGA subsystems are:
+
+* The FPGA subsystem is vendor agnostic.
+
+* The FPGA subsystem separates upper layers (userspace interfaces and
+ enumeration) from lower layers that know how to program a specific
+ FPGA.
+
+* Code should not be shared between upper and lower layers. This
+ should go without saying. If that seems necessary, there's probably
+ framework functionality that that can be added that will benefit
+ other users. Write the linux-fpga mailing list and maintainers and
+ seek out a solution that expands the framework for broad reuse.
+
+* Generally, when adding code, think of the future. Plan for re-use.
+
+The framework in the kernel is divided into:
+
+FPGA Manager
+------------
+
+If you are adding a new FPGA or a new method of programming a FPGA,
+this is the subsystem for you. Low level FPGA manager drivers contain
+the knowledge of how to program a specific device. This subsystem
+includes the framework in fpga-mgr.c and the low level drivers that
+are registered with it.
+
+FPGA Bridge
+-----------
+
+FPGA Bridges prevent spurious signals from going out of a FPGA or a
+region of a FPGA during programming. They are disabled before
+programming begins and re-enabled afterwards. An FPGA bridge may be
+actual hard hardware that gates a bus to a cpu or a soft ("freeze")
+bridge in FPGA fabric that surrounds a partial reconfiguration region
+of an FPGA. This subsystem includes fpga-bridge.c and the low level
+drivers that are registered with it.
+
+FPGA Region
+-----------
+
+If you are adding a new interface to the FPGA framework, add it on top
+of a FPGA region to allow the most reuse of your interface.
+
+The FPGA Region framework (fpga-region.c) associates managers and
+bridges as reconfigurable regions. A region may refer to the whole
+FPGA in full reconfiguration or to a partial reconfiguration region.
+
+The Device Tree FPGA Region support (of-fpga-region.c) handles
+reprogramming FPGAs when device tree overlays are applied.

+========================
+SoundWire Error Handling
+========================
+
+The SoundWire PHY was designed with care and errors on the bus are going to
+be very unlikely, and if they happen it should be limited to single bit
+errors. Examples of this design can be found in the synchronization
+mechanism (sync loss after two errors) and short CRCs used for the Bulk
+Register Access.
+
+The errors can be detected with multiple mechanisms:
+
+1. Bus clash or parity errors: This mechanism relies on low-level detectors
+ that are independent of the payload and usages, and they cover both control
+ and audio data. The current implementation only logs such errors.
+ Improvements could be invalidating an entire programming sequence and
+ restarting from a known position. In the case of such errors outside of a
+ control/command sequence, there is no concealment or recovery for audio
+ data enabled by the SoundWire protocol, the location of the error will also
+ impact its audibility (most-significant bits will be more impacted in PCM),
+ and after a number of such errors are detected the bus might be reset. Note
+ that bus clashes due to programming errors (two streams using the same bit
+ slots) or electrical issues during the transmit/receive transition cannot
+ be distinguished, although a recurring bus clash when audio is enabled is a
+ indication of a bus allocation issue. The interrupt mechanism can also help
+ identify Slaves which detected a Bus Clash or a Parity Error, but they may
+ not be responsible for the errors so resetting them individually is not a
+ viable recovery strategy.
+
+2. Command status: Each command is associated with a status, which only
+ covers transmission of the data between devices. The ACK status indicates
+ that the command was received and will be executed by the end of the
+ current frame. A NAK indicates that the command was in error and will not
+ be applied. In case of a bad programming (command sent to non-existent
+ Slave or to a non-implemented register) or electrical issue, no response
+ signals the command was ignored. Some Master implementations allow for a
+ command to be retransmitted several times. If the retransmission fails,
+ backtracking and restarting the entire programming sequence might be a
+ solution. Alternatively some implementations might directly issue a bus
+ reset and re-enumerate all devices.
+
+3. Timeouts: In a number of cases such as ChannelPrepare or
+ ClockStopPrepare, the bus driver is supposed to poll a register field until
+ it transitions to a NotFinished value of zero. The MIPI SoundWire spec 1.1
+ does not define timeouts but the MIPI SoundWire DisCo document adds
+ recommendation on timeouts. If such configurations do not complete, the
+ driver will return a -ETIMEOUT. Such timeouts are symptoms of a faulty
+ Slave device and are likely impossible to recover from.
+
+Errors during global reconfiguration sequences are extremely difficult to
+handle:
+
+1. BankSwitch: An error during the last command issuing a BankSwitch is
+ difficult to backtrack from. Retransmitting the Bank Switch command may be
+ possible in a single segment setup, but this can lead to synchronization
+ problems when enabling multiple bus segments (a command with side effects
+ such as frame reconfiguration would be handled at different times). A global
+ hard-reset might be the best solution.
+
+Note that SoundWire does not provide a mechanism to detect illegal values
+written in valid registers. In a number of cases the standard even mentions
+that the Slave might behave in implementation-defined ways. The bus
+implementation does not provide a recovery mechanism for such errors, Slave
+or Master driver implementers are responsible for writing valid values in
+valid registers and implement additional range checking if needed.

+=================
+SoundWire Locking
+=================
+
+This document explains locking mechanism of the SoundWire Bus. Bus uses
+following locks in order to avoid race conditions in Bus operations on
+shared resources.
+
+ - Bus lock
+
+ - Message lock
+
+Bus lock
+========
+
+SoundWire Bus lock is a mutex and is part of Bus data structure
+(sdw_bus) which is used for every Bus instance. This lock is used to
+serialize each of the following operations(s) within SoundWire Bus instance.
+
+ - Addition and removal of Slave(s), changing Slave status.
+
+ - Prepare, Enable, Disable and De-prepare stream operations.
+
+ - Access of Stream data structure.
+
+Message lock
+============
+
+SoundWire message transfer lock. This mutex is part of
+Bus data structure (sdw_bus). This lock is used to serialize the message
+transfers (read/write) within a SoundWire Bus instance.
+
+Below examples show how locks are acquired.
+
+Example 1
+---------
+
+Message transfer.
+
+ 1. For every message transfer
+

+=========================
+Audio Stream in SoundWire
+=========================
+
+An audio stream is a logical or virtual connection created between
+
+ (1) System memory buffer(s) and Codec(s)
+
+ (2) DSP memory buffer(s) and Codec(s)
+
+ (3) FIFO(s) and Codec(s)
+
+ (4) Codec(s) and Codec(s)
+
+which is typically driven by a DMA(s) channel through the data link. An
+audio stream contains one or more channels of data. All channels within
+stream must have same sample rate and same sample size.
+
+Assume a stream with two channels (Left & Right) is opened using SoundWire
+interface. Below are some ways a stream can be represented in SoundWire.

+================================
+
+Stream definitions
+------------------
+
+ (1) Current stream: This is classified as the stream on which operation has
+ to be performed like prepare, enable, disable, de-prepare etc.
+
+ (2) Active stream: This is classified as the stream which is already active
+ on Bus other than current stream. There can be multiple active streams
+ on the Bus.
+
+SoundWire Bus manages stream operations for each stream getting
+rendered/captured on the SoundWire Bus. This section explains Bus operations
+done for each of the stream allocated/released on Bus. Following are the
+stream states maintained by the Bus for each of the audio stream.
+
+
+SoundWire stream states
+-----------------------
+
+Below shows the SoundWire stream states and state transition diagram. ::
+
+ +-----------+ +------------+ +----------+ +----------+
+ | ALLOCATED +---->| CONFIGURED +---->| PREPARED +---->| ENABLED |
+ | STATE | | STATE | | STATE | | STATE |

+ |
+ v
+ +----------+ +------------+ +----+-----+
+ | RELEASED |<----------+ DEPREPARED |<-------+ DISABLED |
+ | STATE | | STATE | | STATE |
+ +----------+ +------------+ +----------+
+
+NOTE: State transition between prepare and deprepare is supported in Spec
+but not in the software (subsystem)
+
+NOTE2: Stream state transition checks need to be handled by caller
+framework, for example ALSA/ASoC. No checks for stream transition exist in
+SoundWire subsystem.
+
+Stream State Operations
+-----------------------
+
+Below section explains the operations done by the Bus on Master(s) and
+Slave(s) as part of stream state transitions.
+
+SDW_STREAM_ALLOCATED
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Allocation state for stream. This is the entry state
+of the stream. Operations performed before entering in this state:
+
+ (1) A stream runtime is allocated for the stream. This stream
+ runtime is used as a reference for all the operations performed
+ on the stream.
+
+ (2) The resources required for holding stream runtime information are
+ allocated and initialized. This holds all stream related information
+ such as stream type (PCM/PDM) and parameters, Master and Slave
+ interface associated with the stream, stream state etc.
+
+After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to
+``SDW_STREAM_ALLOCATED``.
+
+Bus implements below API for allocate a stream which needs to be called once
+per stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state maybe linked to
+.startup() operation.
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+ int sdw_alloc_stream(char * stream_name);
+
+
+SDW_STREAM_CONFIGURED
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Configuration state of stream. Operations performed before entering in
+this state:
+
+ (1) The resources allocated for stream information in SDW_STREAM_ALLOCATED
+ state are updated here. This includes stream parameters, Master(s)
+ and Slave(s) runtime information associated with current stream.
+
+ (2) All the Master(s) and Slave(s) associated with current stream provide
+ the port information to Bus which includes port numbers allocated by
+ Master(s) and Slave(s) for current stream and their channel mask.
+
+After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to
+``SDW_STREAM_CONFIGURED``.
+
+Bus implements below APIs for CONFIG state which needs to be called by
+the respective Master(s) and Slave(s) associated with stream. These APIs can
+only be invoked once by respective Master(s) and Slave(s). From ASoC DPCM
+framework, this stream state is linked to .hw_params() operation.
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+ int sdw_stream_add_master(struct sdw_bus * bus,
+ struct sdw_stream_config * stream_config,
+ struct sdw_ports_config * ports_config,
+ struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream);
+
+ int sdw_stream_add_slave(struct sdw_slave * slave,
+ struct sdw_stream_config * stream_config,
+ struct sdw_ports_config * ports_config,
+ struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream);
+
+
+SDW_STREAM_PREPARED
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Prepare state of stream. Operations performed before entering in this state:
+
+ (1) Bus parameters such as bandwidth, frame shape, clock frequency,
+ are computed based on current stream as well as already active
+ stream(s) on Bus. Re-computation is required to accommodate current
+ stream on the Bus.
+
+ (2) Transport and port parameters of all Master(s) and Slave(s) port(s) are
+ computed for the current as well as already active stream based on frame
+ shape and clock frequency computed in step 1.
+
+ (3) Computed Bus and transport parameters are programmed in Master(s) and
+ Slave(s) registers. The banked registers programming is done on the
+ alternate bank (bank currently unused). Port(s) are enabled for the
+ already active stream(s) on the alternate bank (bank currently unused).
+ This is done in order to not disrupt already active stream(s).
+
+ (4) Once all the values are programmed, Bus initiates switch to alternate
+ bank where all new values programmed gets into effect.
+
+ (5) Ports of Master(s) and Slave(s) for current stream are prepared by
+ programming PrepareCtrl register.
+
+After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to
+``SDW_STREAM_PREPARED``.
+
+Bus implements below API for PREPARE state which needs to be called once per
+stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state is linked to
+.prepare() operation.
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+ int sdw_prepare_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream);
+
+
+SDW_STREAM_ENABLED
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Enable state of stream. The data port(s) are enabled upon entering this state.
+Operations performed before entering in this state:
+
+ (1) All the values computed in SDW_STREAM_PREPARED state are programmed
+ in alternate bank (bank currently unused). It includes programming of
+ already active stream(s) as well.
+
+ (2) All the Master(s) and Slave(s) port(s) for the current stream are
+ enabled on alternate bank (bank currently unused) by programming
+ ChannelEn register.
+
+ (3) Once all the values are programmed, Bus initiates switch to alternate
+ bank where all new values programmed gets into effect and port(s)
+ associated with current stream are enabled.
+
+After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to
+``SDW_STREAM_ENABLED``.
+
+Bus implements below API for ENABLE state which needs to be called once per
+stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state is linked to
+.trigger() start operation.
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+ int sdw_enable_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream);
+
+SDW_STREAM_DISABLED
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Disable state of stream. The data port(s) are disabled upon exiting this state.
+Operations performed before entering in this state:
+
+ (1) All the Master(s) and Slave(s) port(s) for the current stream are
+ disabled on alternate bank (bank currently unused) by programming
+ ChannelEn register.
+
+ (2) All the current configuration of Bus and active stream(s) are programmed
+ into alternate bank (bank currently unused).
+
+ (3) Once all the values are programmed, Bus initiates switch to alternate
+ bank where all new values programmed gets into effect and port(s) associated
+ with current stream are disabled.
+
+After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to
+``SDW_STREAM_DISABLED``.
+
+Bus implements below API for DISABLED state which needs to be called once
+per stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state is linked to
+.trigger() stop operation.
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+ int sdw_disable_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream);
+
+
+SDW_STREAM_DEPREPARED
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+De-prepare state of stream. Operations performed before entering in this
+state:
+
+ (1) All the port(s) of Master(s) and Slave(s) for current stream are
+ de-prepared by programming PrepareCtrl register.
+
+ (2) The payload bandwidth of current stream is reduced from the total
+ bandwidth requirement of bus and new parameters calculated and
+ applied by performing bank switch etc.
+
+After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to
+``SDW_STREAM_DEPREPARED``.
+
+Bus implements below API for DEPREPARED state which needs to be called once
+per stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state is linked to
+.trigger() stop operation.
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+ int sdw_deprepare_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream);
+
+
+SDW_STREAM_RELEASED
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Release state of stream. Operations performed before entering in this state:
+
+ (1) Release port resources for all Master(s) and Slave(s) port(s)
+ associated with current stream.
+
+ (2) Release Master(s) and Slave(s) runtime resources associated with
+ current stream.
+
+ (3) Release stream runtime resources associated with current stream.
+
+After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to
+``SDW_STREAM_RELEASED``.
+
+Bus implements below APIs for RELEASE state which needs to be called by
+all the Master(s) and Slave(s) associated with stream. From ASoC DPCM
+framework, this stream state is linked to .hw_free() operation.
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+ int sdw_stream_remove_master(struct sdw_bus * bus,
+ struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream);
+ int sdw_stream_remove_slave(struct sdw_slave * slave,
+ struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream);
+
+
+The .shutdown() ASoC DPCM operation calls below Bus API to release
+stream assigned as part of ALLOCATED state.
+
+In .shutdown() the data structure maintaining stream state are freed up.
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+ void sdw_release_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream);
+
+Not Supported
+=============
+
+1. A single port with multiple channels supported cannot be used between two
+streams or across stream. For example a port with 4 channels cannot be used
+to handle 2 independent stereo streams even though it's possible in theory
+in SoundWire.

+Fuse supports the following I/O modes:
+
+- direct-io
+- cached
+ + write-through
+ + writeback-cache
+
+The direct-io mode can be selected with the FOPEN_DIRECT_IO flag in the
+FUSE_OPEN reply.
+
+In direct-io mode the page cache is completely bypassed for reads and writes.
+No read-ahead takes place. Shared mmap is disabled.
+
+In cached mode reads may be satisfied from the page cache, and data may be
+read-ahead by the kernel to fill the cache. The cache is always kept consistent
+after any writes to the file. All mmap modes are supported.
+
+The cached mode has two sub modes controlling how writes are handled. The
+write-through mode is the default and is supported on all kernels. The
+writeback-cache mode may be selected by the FUSE_WRITEBACK_CACHE flag in the
+FUSE_INIT reply.
+
+In write-through mode each write is immediately sent to userspace as one or more
+WRITE requests, as well as updating any cached pages (and caching previously
+uncached, but fully written pages). No READ requests are ever sent for writes,
+so when an uncached page is partially written, the page is discarded.
+
+In writeback-cache mode (enabled by the FUSE_WRITEBACK_CACHE flag) writes go to
+the cache only, which means that the write(2) syscall can often complete very
+fast. Dirty pages are written back implicitly (background writeback or page
+reclaim on memory pressure) or explicitly (invoked by close(2), fsync(2) and
+when the last ref to the file is being released on munmap(2)). This mode
+assumes that all changes to the filesystem go through the FUSE kernel module
+(size and atime/ctime/mtime attributes are kept up-to-date by the kernel), so
+it's generally not suitable for network filesystems. If a partial page is
+written, then the page needs to be first read from userspace. This means, that
+even for files opened for O_WRONLY it is possible that READ requests will be
+generated by the kernel.

-FPGA Manager Core
-
-Alan Tull 2015
-
-Overview
-========
-
-The FPGA manager core exports a set of functions for programming an FPGA with
-an image. The API is manufacturer agnostic. All manufacturer specifics are
-hidden away in a low level driver which registers a set of ops with the core.
-The FPGA image data itself is very manufacturer specific, but for our purposes
-it's just binary data. The FPGA manager core won't parse it.
-
-The FPGA image to be programmed can be in a scatter gather list, a single
-contiguous buffer, or a firmware file. Because allocating contiguous kernel
-memory for the buffer should be avoided, users are encouraged to use a scatter
-gather list instead if possible.
-
-The particulars for programming the image are presented in a structure (struct
-fpga_image_info). This struct contains parameters such as pointers to the
-FPGA image as well as image-specific particulars such as whether the image was
-built for full or partial reconfiguration.
-
-API Functions:
-==============
-
-To program the FPGA:
---------------------
-
- int fpga_mgr_load(struct fpga_manager *mgr,
- struct fpga_image_info *info);
-
-Load the FPGA from an image which is indicated in the info. If successful,
-the FPGA ends up in operating mode. Return 0 on success or a negative error
-code.
-
-To allocate or free a struct fpga_image_info:
----------------------------------------------
-
- struct fpga_image_info *fpga_image_info_alloc(struct device *dev);
-
- void fpga_image_info_free(struct fpga_image_info *info);
-
-To get/put a reference to a FPGA manager:
------------------------------------------
-
- struct fpga_manager *of_fpga_mgr_get(struct device_node *node);
- struct fpga_manager *fpga_mgr_get(struct device *dev);
- void fpga_mgr_put(struct fpga_manager *mgr);
-
-Given a DT node or device, get a reference to a FPGA manager. This pointer
-can be saved until you are ready to program the FPGA. fpga_mgr_put releases
-the reference.
-
-
-To get exclusive control of a FPGA manager:
--------------------------------------------
-
- int fpga_mgr_lock(struct fpga_manager *mgr);
- void fpga_mgr_unlock(struct fpga_manager *mgr);
-
-The user should call fpga_mgr_lock and verify that it returns 0 before
-attempting to program the FPGA. Likewise, the user should call
-fpga_mgr_unlock when done programming the FPGA.
-
-
-To register or unregister the low level FPGA-specific driver:
--------------------------------------------------------------
-
- int fpga_mgr_register(struct device *dev, const char *name,
- const struct fpga_manager_ops *mops,
- void *priv);
-
- void fpga_mgr_unregister(struct device *dev);
-
-Use of these two functions is described below in "How To Support a new FPGA
-device."
-
-
-How to write an image buffer to a supported FPGA

-#include <linux/fpga/fpga-mgr.h>

-struct fpga_image_info *info;

- * hold onto this reference without it preventing programming.

- */

-
-/* struct with information about the FPGA image to program. */

-

-
-/*
- * At this point, indicate where the image is. This is pseudo-code; you're
- * going to use one of these three.
- */
-if (image is in a scatter gather table) {
-
- info->sgt = [your scatter gather table]
-
-} else if (image is in a buffer) {
-
- info->buf = [your image buffer]
- info->count = [image buffer size]
-
-} else if (image is in a firmware file) {
-
- info->firmware_name = devm_kstrdup(dev, firmware_name, GFP_KERNEL);
-
-}
-
-/* Get exclusive control of FPGA manager */
-ret = fpga_mgr_lock(mgr);
-
-/* Load the buffer to the FPGA */
-ret = fpga_mgr_buf_load(mgr, &info, buf, count);
-
-/* Release the FPGA manager */
-fpga_mgr_unlock(mgr);
-fpga_mgr_put(mgr);
-
-/* Deallocate the image info if you're done with it */
-fpga_image_info_free(info);
-
-How to support a new FPGA device
-================================
-To add another FPGA manager, write a driver that implements a set of ops. The
-probe function calls fpga_mgr_register(), such as:
-
-static const struct fpga_manager_ops socfpga_fpga_ops = {
- .write_init = socfpga_fpga_ops_configure_init,
- .write = socfpga_fpga_ops_configure_write,
- .write_complete = socfpga_fpga_ops_configure_complete,
- .state = socfpga_fpga_ops_state,
-};
-
-static int socfpga_fpga_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
-{
- struct device *dev = &pdev->dev;
- struct socfpga_fpga_priv *priv;
- int ret;
-
- priv = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*priv), GFP_KERNEL);
- if (!priv)
- return -ENOMEM;
-
- /* ... do ioremaps, get interrupts, etc. and save
- them in priv... */
-
- return fpga_mgr_register(dev, "Altera SOCFPGA FPGA Manager",
- &socfpga_fpga_ops, priv);
-}
-
-static int socfpga_fpga_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
-{
- fpga_mgr_unregister(&pdev->dev);
-
- return 0;
-}
-
-
-The ops will implement whatever device specific register writes are needed to
-do the programming sequence for this particular FPGA. These ops return 0 for
-success or negative error codes otherwise.
-
-The programming sequence is:
- 1. .write_init
- 2. .write or .write_sg (may be called once or multiple times)
- 3. .write_complete
-
-The .write_init function will prepare the FPGA to receive the image data. The
-buffer passed into .write_init will be atmost .initial_header_size bytes long,
-if the whole bitstream is not immediately available then the core code will
-buffer up at least this much before starting.
-
-The .write function writes a buffer to the FPGA. The buffer may be contain the
-whole FPGA image or may be a smaller chunk of an FPGA image. In the latter
-case, this function is called multiple times for successive chunks. This interface
-is suitable for drivers which use PIO.
-
-The .write_sg version behaves the same as .write except the input is a sg_table
-scatter list. This interface is suitable for drivers which use DMA.
-
-The .write_complete function is called after all the image has been written
-to put the FPGA into operating mode.
-
-The ops include a .state function which will read the hardware FPGA manager and
-return a code of type enum fpga_mgr_states. It doesn't result in a change in
-hardware state.

-
-Introduction
-============
-
-This document is meant to be an brief overview of the FPGA region API usage. A
-more conceptual look at regions can be found in [1].
-
-For the purposes of this API document, let's just say that a region associates
-an FPGA Manager and a bridge (or bridges) with a reprogrammable region of an
-FPGA or the whole FPGA. The API provides a way to register a region and to
-program a region.
-
-Currently the only layer above fpga-region.c in the kernel is the Device Tree
-support (of-fpga-region.c) described in [1]. The DT support layer uses regions
-to program the FPGA and then DT to handle enumeration. The common region code
-is intended to be used by other schemes that have other ways of accomplishing
-enumeration after programming.
-
-An fpga-region can be set up to know the following things:
-* which FPGA manager to use to do the programming
-* which bridges to disable before programming and enable afterwards.
-
-Additional info needed to program the FPGA image is passed in the struct
-fpga_image_info [2] including:
-* pointers to the image as either a scatter-gather buffer, a contiguous
- buffer, or the name of firmware file
-* flags indicating specifics such as whether the image if for partial
- reconfiguration.
-
-===================
-The FPGA region API
-===================
-
-To register or unregister a region:
------------------------------------
-
- int fpga_region_register(struct device *dev,
- struct fpga_region *region);
- int fpga_region_unregister(struct fpga_region *region);
-
-An example of usage can be seen in the probe function of [3]
-
-To program an FPGA:
--------------------
- int fpga_region_program_fpga(struct fpga_region *region);
-
-This function operates on info passed in the fpga_image_info
-(region->info).
-
-This function will attempt to:
- * lock the region's mutex
- * lock the region's FPGA manager
- * build a list of FPGA bridges if a method has been specified to do so
- * disable the bridges
- * program the FPGA
- * re-enable the bridges
- * release the locks
-
-=============
-Usage example
-=============
-
-First, allocate the info struct:
-
- info = fpga_image_info_alloc(dev);
- if (!info)
- return -ENOMEM;
-
-Set flags as needed, i.e.
-
- info->flags |= FPGA_MGR_PARTIAL_RECONFIG;
-
-Point to your FPGA image, such as:
-
- info->sgt = &sgt;
-
-Add info to region and do the programming:
-
- region->info = info;
- ret = fpga_region_program_fpga(region);
-
-Then enumerate whatever hardware has appeared in the FPGA.

-The main point of this project has been to separate the out the upper layers
-that know when to reprogram a FPGA from the lower layers that know how to
-reprogram a specific FPGA device. The intention is to make this manufacturer
-agnostic, understanding that of course the FPGA images are very device specific
-themselves.
-
-The framework in the kernel includes:
-* low level FPGA manager drivers that know how to program a specific device
-* the fpga-mgr framework they are registered with
-* low level FPGA bridge drivers for hard/soft bridges which are intended to
- be disable during FPGA programming
-* the fpga-bridge framework they are registered with
-* the fpga-region framework which associates and controls managers and bridges
- as reconfigurable regions
-* the of-fpga-region support for reprogramming FPGAs when device tree overlays
- are applied.
-
-I would encourage you the user to add code that creates FPGA regions rather
-that trying to control managers and bridges separately.

This sections covers all things related to the GEM implementation in the
i915 driver.
+Intel GPU Basics
+----------------
+
+An Intel GPU has multiple engines. There are several engine types.
+
+- RCS engine is for rendering 3D and performing compute, this is named
+ `I915_EXEC_RENDER` in user space.
+- BCS is a blitting (copy) engine, this is named `I915_EXEC_BLT` in user
+ space.
+- VCS is a video encode and decode engine, this is named `I915_EXEC_BSD`
+ in user space
+- VECS is video enhancement engine, this is named `I915_EXEC_VEBOX` in user
+ space.
+- The enumeration `I915_EXEC_DEFAULT` does not refer to specific engine;
+ instead it is to be used by user space to specify a default rendering
+ engine (for 3D) that may or may not be the same as RCS.
+
+The Intel GPU family is a family of integrated GPU's using Unified
+Memory Access. For having the GPU "do work", user space will feed the
+GPU batch buffers via one of the ioctls `DRM_IOCTL_I915_GEM_EXECBUFFER2`
+or `DRM_IOCTL_I915_GEM_EXECBUFFER2_WR`. Most such batchbuffers will
+instruct the GPU to perform work (for example rendering) and that work
+needs memory from which to read and memory to which to write. All memory
+is encapsulated within GEM buffer objects (usually created with the ioctl
+`DRM_IOCTL_I915_GEM_CREATE`). An ioctl providing a batchbuffer for the GPU
+to create will also list all GEM buffer objects that the batchbuffer reads
+and/or writes. For implementation details of memory management see
+`GEM BO Management Implementation Details`_.
+
+The i915 driver allows user space to create a context via the ioctl
+`DRM_IOCTL_I915_GEM_CONTEXT_CREATE` which is identified by a 32-bit
+integer. Such a context should be viewed by user-space as -loosely-
+analogous to the idea of a CPU process of an operating system. The i915
+driver guarantees that commands issued to a fixed context are to be
+executed so that writes of a previously issued command are seen by
+reads of following commands. Actions issued between different contexts
+(even if from the same file descriptor) are NOT given that guarantee
+and the only way to synchronize across contexts (even from the same
+file descriptor) is through the use of fences. At least as far back as
+Gen4, also have that a context carries with it a GPU HW context;
+the HW context is essentially (most of atleast) the state of a GPU.
+In addition to the ordering guarantees, the kernel will restore GPU
+state via HW context when commands are issued to a context, this saves
+user space the need to restore (most of atleast) the GPU state at the
+start of each batchbuffer. The non-deprecated ioctls to submit batchbuffer
+work can pass that ID (in the lower bits of drm_i915_gem_execbuffer2::rsvd1)
+to identify what context to use with the command.
+
+The GPU has its own memory management and address space. The kernel
+driver maintains the memory translation table for the GPU. For older
+GPUs (i.e. those before Gen8), there is a single global such translation
+table, a global Graphics Translation Table (GTT). For newer generation
+GPUs each context has its own translation table, called Per-Process
+Graphics Translation Table (PPGTT). Of important note, is that although
+PPGTT is named per-process it is actually per context. When user space
+submits a batchbuffer, the kernel walks the list of GEM buffer objects
+used by the batchbuffer and guarantees that not only is the memory of
+each such GEM buffer object resident but it is also present in the
+(PP)GTT. If the GEM buffer object is not yet placed in the (PP)GTT,
+then it is given an address. Two consequences of this are: the kernel
+needs to edit the batchbuffer submitted to write the correct value of
+the GPU address when a GEM BO is assigned a GPU address and the kernel
+might evict a different GEM BO from the (PP)GTT to make address room
+for another GEM BO. Consequently, the ioctls submitting a batchbuffer
+for execution also include a list of all locations within buffers that
+refer to GPU-addresses so that the kernel can edit the buffer correctly.
+This process is dubbed relocation.

+Concept
+-------
+
+The basic idea was inspired by Make. When we look at Make, we notice sort of
+two languages in one. One language describes dependency graphs consisting of
+targets and prerequisites. The other is a macro language for performing textual
+substitution.
+
+There is clear distinction between the two language stages. For example, you
+can write a makefile like follows:
+
+ APP := foo
+ SRC := foo.c
+ CC := gcc
+
+ $(APP): $(SRC)
+ $(CC) -o $(APP) $(SRC)
+
+The macro language replaces the variable references with their expanded form,
+and handles as if the source file were input like follows:
+
+ foo: foo.c
+ gcc -o foo foo.c
+
+Then, Make analyzes the dependency graph and determines the targets to be
+updated.
+
+The idea is quite similar in Kconfig - it is possible to describe a Kconfig
+file like this:
+
+ CC := gcc
+
+ config CC_HAS_FOO
+ def_bool $(shell, $(srctree)/scripts/gcc-check-foo.sh $(CC))
+
+The macro language in Kconfig processes the source file into the following
+intermediate:
+
+ config CC_HAS_FOO
+ def_bool y
+
+Then, Kconfig moves onto the evaluation stage to resolve inter-symbol
+dependency as explained in kconfig-language.txt.
+
+
+Variables
+---------
+
+Like in Make, a variable in Kconfig works as a macro variable. A macro
+variable is expanded "in place" to yield a text string that may then be
+expanded further. To get the value of a variable, enclose the variable name in
+$( ). The parentheses are required even for single-letter variable names; $X is
+a syntax error. The curly brace form as in ${CC} is not supported either.
+
+There are two types of variables: simply expanded variables and recursively
+expanded variables.
+
+A simply expanded variable is defined using the := assignment operator. Its
+righthand side is expanded immediately upon reading the line from the Kconfig
+file.
+
+A recursively expanded variable is defined using the = assignment operator.
+Its righthand side is simply stored as the value of the variable without
+expanding it in any way. Instead, the expansion is performed when the variable
+is used.
+
+There is another type of assignment operator; += is used to append text to a
+variable. The righthand side of += is expanded immediately if the lefthand
+side was originally defined as a simple variable. Otherwise, its evaluation is
+deferred.
+
+The variable reference can take parameters, in the following form:
+
+ $(name,arg1,arg2,arg3)
+
+You can consider the parameterized reference as a function. (more precisely,
+"user-defined function" in contrast to "built-in function" listed below).
+
+Useful functions must be expanded when they are used since the same function is
+expanded differently if different parameters are passed. Hence, a user-defined
+function is defined using the = assignment operator. The parameters are
+referenced within the body definition with $(1), $(2), etc.
+
+In fact, recursively expanded variables and user-defined functions are the same
+internally. (In other words, "variable" is "function with zero argument".)
+When we say "variable" in a broad sense, it includes "user-defined function".
+
+
+Built-in functions
+------------------
+
+Like Make, Kconfig provides several built-in functions. Every function takes a
+particular number of arguments.
+
+In Make, every built-in function takes at least one argument. Kconfig allows
+zero argument for built-in functions, such as $(fileno), $(lineno). You could
+consider those as "built-in variable", but it is just a matter of how we call
+it after all. Let's say "built-in function" here to refer to natively supported
+functionality.
+
+Kconfig currently supports the following built-in functions.
+
+ - $(shell,command)
+
+ The "shell" function accepts a single argument that is expanded and passed
+ to a subshell for execution. The standard output of the command is then read
+ and returned as the value of the function. Every newline in the output is
+ replaced with a space. Any trailing newlines are deleted. The standard error
+ is not returned, nor is any program exit status.
+
+ - $(info,text)
+
+ The "info" function takes a single argument and prints it to stdout.
+ It evaluates to an empty string.
+
+ - $(warning-if,condition,text)
+
+ The "warning-if" function takes two arguments. If the condition part is "y",
+ the text part is sent to stderr. The text is prefixed with the name of the
+ current Kconfig file and the current line number.
+
+ - $(error-if,condition,text)
+
+ The "error-if" function is similar to "warning-if", but it terminates the
+ parsing immediately if the condition part is "y".
+
+ - $(filename)
+
+ The 'filename' takes no argument, and $(filename) is expanded to the file
+ name being parsed.
+
+ - $(lineno)
+
+ The 'lineno' takes no argument, and $(lineno) is expanded to the line number
+ being parsed.
+
+
+Make vs Kconfig
+---------------
+
+Kconfig adopts Make-like macro language, but the function call syntax is
+slightly different.
+
+A function call in Make looks like this:
+
+ $(func-name arg1,arg2,arg3)
+
+The function name and the first argument are separated by at least one
+whitespace. Then, leading whitespaces are trimmed from the first argument,
+while whitespaces in the other arguments are kept. You need to use a kind of
+trick to start the first parameter with spaces. For example, if you want
+to make "info" function print " hello", you can write like follows:
+
+ empty :=
+ space := $(empty) $(empty)
+ $(info $(space)$(space)hello)
+
+Kconfig uses only commas for delimiters, and keeps all whitespaces in the
+function call. Some people prefer putting a space after each comma delimiter:
+
+ $(func-name, arg1, arg2, arg3)
+
+In this case, "func-name" will receive " arg1", " arg2", " arg3". The presence
+of leading spaces may matter depending on the function. The same applies to
+Make - for example, $(subst .c, .o, $(sources)) is a typical mistake; it
+replaces ".c" with " .o".
+
+In Make, a user-defined function is referenced by using a built-in function,
+'call', like this:
+
+ $(call my-func,arg1,arg2,arg3)
+
+Kconfig invokes user-defined functions and built-in functions in the same way.
+The omission of 'call' makes the syntax shorter.
+
+In Make, some functions treat commas verbatim instead of argument separators.
+For example, $(shell echo hello, world) runs the command "echo hello, world".
+Likewise, $(info hello, world) prints "hello, world" to stdout. You could say
+this is _useful_ inconsistency.
+
+In Kconfig, for simpler implementation and grammatical consistency, commas that
+appear in the $( ) context are always delimiters. It means
+
+ $(shell, echo hello, world)
+
+is an error because it is passing two parameters where the 'shell' function
+accepts only one. To pass commas in arguments, you can use the following trick:
+
+ comma := ,
+ $(shell, echo hello$(comma) world)
+
+
+Caveats
+-------
+
+A variable (or function) cannot be expanded across tokens. So, you cannot use
+a variable as a shorthand for an expression that consists of multiple tokens.
+The following works:
+
+ RANGE_MIN := 1
+ RANGE_MAX := 3
+
+ config FOO
+ int "foo"
+ range $(RANGE_MIN) $(RANGE_MAX)
+
+But, the following does not work:
+
+ RANGES := 1 3
+
+ config FOO
+ int "foo"
+ range $(RANGES)
+
+A variable cannot be expanded to any keyword in Kconfig. The following does
+not work:
+
+ MY_TYPE := tristate
+
+ config FOO
+ $(MY_TYPE) "foo"
+ default y
+
+Obviously from the design, $(shell command) is expanded in the textual
+substitution phase. You cannot pass symbols to the 'shell' function.
+The following does not work as expected.
+
+ config ENDIAN_FLAG
+ string
+ default "-mbig-endian" if CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
+ default "-mlittle-endian" if CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN
+
+ config CC_HAS_ENDIAN_FLAG
+ def_bool $(shell $(srctree)/scripts/gcc-check-flag ENDIAN_FLAG)
+
+Instead, you can do like follows so that any function call is statically
+expanded.
+
+ config CC_HAS_ENDIAN_FLAG
+ bool
+ default $(shell $(srctree)/scripts/gcc-check-flag -mbig-endian) if CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
+ default $(shell $(srctree)/scripts/gcc-check-flag -mlittle-endian) if CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN

+Introduction
+============
+
+Note: Knowledge of virtualization technology is required to understand
+this document.
+
+A good reference document would be:
+

+
+The Virtual Management Channel (VMC) is a logical device which provides an
+interface between the hypervisor and a management partition. This interface
+is like a message passing interface. This management partition is intended
+to provide an alternative to systems that use a Hardware Management
+Console (HMC) - based system management.
+
+The primary hardware management solution that is developed by IBM relies
+on an appliance server named the Hardware Management Console (HMC),
+packaged as an external tower or rack-mounted personal computer. In a
+Power Systems environment, a single HMC can manage multiple POWER
+processor-based systems.
+
+Management Application
+----------------------
+
+In the management partition, a management application exists which enables
+a system administrator to configure the system’s partitioning
+characteristics via a command line interface (CLI) or Representational
+State Transfer Application (REST API's).
+
+The management application runs on a Linux logical partition on a
+POWER8 or newer processor-based server that is virtualized by PowerVM.
+System configuration, maintenance, and control functions which
+traditionally require an HMC can be implemented in the management
+application using a combination of HMC to hypervisor interfaces and
+existing operating system methods. This tool provides a subset of the
+functions implemented by the HMC and enables basic partition configuration.
+The set of HMC to hypervisor messages supported by the management
+application component are passed to the hypervisor over a VMC interface,
+which is defined below.
+
+The VMC enables the management partition to provide basic partitioning
+functions:
+
+- Logical Partitioning Configuration
+- Start, and stop actions for individual partitions
+- Display of partition status
+- Management of virtual Ethernet
+- Management of virtual Storage
+- Basic system management
+
+Virtual Management Channel (VMC)
+--------------------------------
+
+A logical device, called the Virtual Management Channel (VMC), is defined
+for communicating between the management application and the hypervisor. It
+basically creates the pipes that enable virtualization management
+software. This device is presented to a designated management partition as
+a virtual device.
+
+This communication device uses Command/Response Queue (CRQ) and the
+Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) interfaces. A three-way handshake is
+defined that must take place to establish that both the hypervisor and
+management partition sides of the channel are running prior to
+sending/receiving any of the protocol messages.
+
+This driver also utilizes Transport Event CRQs. CRQ messages are sent
+when the hypervisor detects one of the peer partitions has abnormally
+terminated, or one side has called H_FREE_CRQ to close their CRQ.
+Two new classes of CRQ messages are introduced for the VMC device. VMC
+Administrative messages are used for each partition using the VMC to
+communicate capabilities to their partner. HMC Interface messages are used
+for the actual flow of HMC messages between the management partition and
+the hypervisor. As most HMC messages far exceed the size of a CRQ buffer,
+a virtual DMA (RMDA) of the HMC message data is done prior to each HMC
+Interface CRQ message. Only the management partition drives RDMA
+operations; hypervisors never directly cause the movement of message data.
+
+
+Terminology
+-----------
+RDMA
+ Remote Direct Memory Access is DMA transfer from the server to its
+ client or from the server to its partner partition. DMA refers
+ to both physical I/O to and from memory operations and to memory
+ to memory move operations.
+CRQ
+ Command/Response Queue a facility which is used to communicate
+ between partner partitions. Transport events which are signaled
+ from the hypervisor to partition are also reported in this queue.
+
+Example Management Partition VMC Driver Interface
+=================================================
+
+This section provides an example for the management application
+implementation where a device driver is used to interface to the VMC
+device. This driver consists of a new device, for example /dev/ibmvmc,
+which provides interfaces to open, close, read, write, and perform
+ioctl’s against the VMC device.
+
+VMC Interface Initialization
+----------------------------
+
+The device driver is responsible for initializing the VMC when the driver
+is loaded. It first creates and initializes the CRQ. Next, an exchange of
+VMC capabilities is performed to indicate the code version and number of
+resources available in both the management partition and the hypervisor.
+Finally, the hypervisor requests that the management partition create an
+initial pool of VMC buffers, one buffer for each possible HMC connection,
+which will be used for management application session initialization.
+Prior to completion of this initialization sequence, the device returns
+EBUSY to open() calls. EIO is returned for all open() failures.

+
+VMC Interface Open
+------------------
+
+After the basic VMC channel has been initialized, an HMC session level
+connection can be established. The application layer performs an open() to
+the VMC device and executes an ioctl() against it, indicating the HMC ID
+(32 bytes of data) for this session. If the VMC device is in an invalid
+state, EIO will be returned for the ioctl(). The device driver creates a
+new HMC session value (ranging from 1 to 255) and HMC index value (starting
+at index 0 and ranging to 254) for this HMC ID. The driver then does an
+RDMA of the HMC ID to the hypervisor, and then sends an Interface Open
+message to the hypervisor to establish the session over the VMC. After the
+hypervisor receives this information, it sends Add Buffer messages to the
+management partition to seed an initial pool of buffers for the new HMC
+connection. Finally, the hypervisor sends an Interface Open Response
+message, to indicate that it is ready for normal runtime messaging. The
+following illustrates this VMC flow:
+
+::

+ <----------------------------------------
+
+VMC Interface Runtime
+---------------------
+
+During normal runtime, the management application and the hypervisor
+exchange HMC messages via the Signal VMC message and RDMA operations. When
+sending data to the hypervisor, the management application performs a
+write() to the VMC device, and the driver RDMA’s the data to the hypervisor
+and then sends a Signal Message. If a write() is attempted before VMC
+device buffers have been made available by the hypervisor, or no buffers
+are currently available, EBUSY is returned in response to the write(). A
+write() will return EIO for all other errors, such as an invalid device
+state. When the hypervisor sends a message to the management, the data is
+put into a VMC buffer and an Signal Message is sent to the VMC driver in
+the management partition. The driver RDMA’s the buffer into the partition
+and passes the data up to the appropriate management application via a
+read() to the VMC device. The read() request blocks if there is no buffer
+available to read. The management application may use select() to wait for
+the VMC device to become ready with data to read.

+AF_XDP
+======
+
+Overview
+========
+
+AF_XDP is an address family that is optimized for high performance
+packet processing.
+
+This document assumes that the reader is familiar with BPF and XDP. If
+not, the Cilium project has an excellent reference guide at
+http://cilium.readthedocs.io/en/latest/bpf/.
+
+Using the XDP_REDIRECT action from an XDP program, the program can
+redirect ingress frames to other XDP enabled netdevs, using the
+bpf_redirect_map() function. AF_XDP sockets enable the possibility for
+XDP programs to redirect frames to a memory buffer in a user-space
+application.
+
+An AF_XDP socket (XSK) is created with the normal socket()
+syscall. Associated with each XSK are two rings: the RX ring and the
+TX ring. A socket can receive packets on the RX ring and it can send
+packets on the TX ring. These rings are registered and sized with the
+setsockopts XDP_RX_RING and XDP_TX_RING, respectively. It is mandatory
+to have at least one of these rings for each socket. An RX or TX
+descriptor ring points to a data buffer in a memory area called a
+UMEM. RX and TX can share the same UMEM so that a packet does not have
+to be copied between RX and TX. Moreover, if a packet needs to be kept
+for a while due to a possible retransmit, the descriptor that points
+to that packet can be changed to point to another and reused right
+away. This again avoids copying data.
+
+The UMEM consists of a number of equally sized chunks. A descriptor in
+one of the rings references a frame by referencing its addr. The addr
+is simply an offset within the entire UMEM region. The user space
+allocates memory for this UMEM using whatever means it feels is most
+appropriate (malloc, mmap, huge pages, etc). This memory area is then
+registered with the kernel using the new setsockopt XDP_UMEM_REG. The
+UMEM also has two rings: the FILL ring and the COMPLETION ring. The
+fill ring is used by the application to send down addr for the kernel
+to fill in with RX packet data. References to these frames will then
+appear in the RX ring once each packet has been received. The
+completion ring, on the other hand, contains frame addr that the
+kernel has transmitted completely and can now be used again by user
+space, for either TX or RX. Thus, the frame addrs appearing in the
+completion ring are addrs that were previously transmitted using the
+TX ring. In summary, the RX and FILL rings are used for the RX path
+and the TX and COMPLETION rings are used for the TX path.
+
+The socket is then finally bound with a bind() call to a device and a
+specific queue id on that device, and it is not until bind is
+completed that traffic starts to flow.
+
+The UMEM can be shared between processes, if desired. If a process
+wants to do this, it simply skips the registration of the UMEM and its
+corresponding two rings, sets the XDP_SHARED_UMEM flag in the bind
+call and submits the XSK of the process it would like to share UMEM
+with as well as its own newly created XSK socket. The new process will
+then receive frame addr references in its own RX ring that point to
+this shared UMEM. Note that since the ring structures are
+single-consumer / single-producer (for performance reasons), the new
+process has to create its own socket with associated RX and TX rings,
+since it cannot share this with the other process. This is also the
+reason that there is only one set of FILL and COMPLETION rings per
+UMEM. It is the responsibility of a single process to handle the UMEM.
+
+How is then packets distributed from an XDP program to the XSKs? There
+is a BPF map called XSKMAP (or BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP in full). The
+user-space application can place an XSK at an arbitrary place in this
+map. The XDP program can then redirect a packet to a specific index in
+this map and at this point XDP validates that the XSK in that map was
+indeed bound to that device and ring number. If not, the packet is
+dropped. If the map is empty at that index, the packet is also
+dropped. This also means that it is currently mandatory to have an XDP
+program loaded (and one XSK in the XSKMAP) to be able to get any
+traffic to user space through the XSK.
+
+AF_XDP can operate in two different modes: XDP_SKB and XDP_DRV. If the
+driver does not have support for XDP, or XDP_SKB is explicitly chosen
+when loading the XDP program, XDP_SKB mode is employed that uses SKBs
+together with the generic XDP support and copies out the data to user
+space. A fallback mode that works for any network device. On the other
+hand, if the driver has support for XDP, it will be used by the AF_XDP
+code to provide better performance, but there is still a copy of the
+data into user space.
+
+Concepts
+========
+
+In order to use an AF_XDP socket, a number of associated objects need
+to be setup.
+
+Jonathan Corbet has also written an excellent article on LWN,
+"Accelerating networking with AF_XDP". It can be found at
+https://lwn.net/Articles/750845/.
+
+UMEM
+----
+
+UMEM is a region of virtual contiguous memory, divided into
+equal-sized frames. An UMEM is associated to a netdev and a specific
+queue id of that netdev. It is created and configured (chunk size,
+headroom, start address and size) by using the XDP_UMEM_REG setsockopt
+system call. A UMEM is bound to a netdev and queue id, via the bind()
+system call.
+
+An AF_XDP is socket linked to a single UMEM, but one UMEM can have
+multiple AF_XDP sockets. To share an UMEM created via one socket A,
+the next socket B can do this by setting the XDP_SHARED_UMEM flag in
+struct sockaddr_xdp member sxdp_flags, and passing the file descriptor
+of A to struct sockaddr_xdp member sxdp_shared_umem_fd.
+
+The UMEM has two single-producer/single-consumer rings, that are used
+to transfer ownership of UMEM frames between the kernel and the
+user-space application.
+
+Rings
+-----
+
+There are a four different kind of rings: Fill, Completion, RX and
+TX. All rings are single-producer/single-consumer, so the user-space
+application need explicit synchronization of multiple
+processes/threads are reading/writing to them.
+
+The UMEM uses two rings: Fill and Completion. Each socket associated
+with the UMEM must have an RX queue, TX queue or both. Say, that there
+is a setup with four sockets (all doing TX and RX). Then there will be
+one Fill ring, one Completion ring, four TX rings and four RX rings.
+
+The rings are head(producer)/tail(consumer) based rings. A producer
+writes the data ring at the index pointed out by struct xdp_ring
+producer member, and increasing the producer index. A consumer reads
+the data ring at the index pointed out by struct xdp_ring consumer
+member, and increasing the consumer index.
+
+The rings are configured and created via the _RING setsockopt system
+calls and mmapped to user-space using the appropriate offset to mmap()
+(XDP_PGOFF_RX_RING, XDP_PGOFF_TX_RING, XDP_UMEM_PGOFF_FILL_RING and
+XDP_UMEM_PGOFF_COMPLETION_RING).
+
+The size of the rings need to be of size power of two.
+
+UMEM Fill Ring
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Fill ring is used to transfer ownership of UMEM frames from
+user-space to kernel-space. The UMEM addrs are passed in the ring. As
+an example, if the UMEM is 64k and each chunk is 4k, then the UMEM has
+16 chunks and can pass addrs between 0 and 64k.
+
+Frames passed to the kernel are used for the ingress path (RX rings).
+
+The user application produces UMEM addrs to this ring. Note that the
+kernel will mask the incoming addr. E.g. for a chunk size of 2k, the
+log2(2048) LSB of the addr will be masked off, meaning that 2048, 2050
+and 3000 refers to the same chunk.
+
+
+UMEM Completetion Ring
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Completion Ring is used transfer ownership of UMEM frames from
+kernel-space to user-space. Just like the Fill ring, UMEM indicies are
+used.
+
+Frames passed from the kernel to user-space are frames that has been
+sent (TX ring) and can be used by user-space again.
+
+The user application consumes UMEM addrs from this ring.
+
+
+RX Ring
+~~~~~~~
+
+The RX ring is the receiving side of a socket. Each entry in the ring
+is a struct xdp_desc descriptor. The descriptor contains UMEM offset
+(addr) and the length of the data (len).
+
+If no frames have been passed to kernel via the Fill ring, no
+descriptors will (or can) appear on the RX ring.
+
+The user application consumes struct xdp_desc descriptors from this
+ring.
+
+TX Ring
+~~~~~~~
+
+The TX ring is used to send frames. The struct xdp_desc descriptor is
+filled (index, length and offset) and passed into the ring.
+
+To start the transfer a sendmsg() system call is required. This might
+be relaxed in the future.
+
+The user application produces struct xdp_desc descriptors to this
+ring.
+
+XSKMAP / BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP
+----------------------------
+
+On XDP side there is a BPF map type BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP (XSKMAP) that
+is used in conjunction with bpf_redirect_map() to pass the ingress
+frame to a socket.
+
+The user application inserts the socket into the map, via the bpf()
+system call.
+
+Note that if an XDP program tries to redirect to a socket that does
+not match the queue configuration and netdev, the frame will be
+dropped. E.g. an AF_XDP socket is bound to netdev eth0 and
+queue 17. Only the XDP program executing for eth0 and queue 17 will
+successfully pass data to the socket. Please refer to the sample
+application (samples/bpf/) in for an example.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+In order to use AF_XDP sockets there are two parts needed. The
+user-space application and the XDP program. For a complete setup and
+usage example, please refer to the sample application. The user-space
+side is xdpsock_user.c and the XDP side xdpsock_kern.c.
+
+Naive ring dequeue and enqueue could look like this::
+
+ // struct xdp_rxtx_ring {
+ // __u32 *producer;
+ // __u32 *consumer;
+ // struct xdp_desc *desc;
+ // };
+
+ // struct xdp_umem_ring {
+ // __u32 *producer;
+ // __u32 *consumer;
+ // __u64 *desc;
+ // };
+
+ // typedef struct xdp_rxtx_ring RING;
+ // typedef struct xdp_umem_ring RING;
+
+ // typedef struct xdp_desc RING_TYPE;
+ // typedef __u64 RING_TYPE;
+
+ int dequeue_one(RING *ring, RING_TYPE *item)
+ {
+ __u32 entries = *ring->producer - *ring->consumer;
+
+ if (entries == 0)
+ return -1;
+
+ // read-barrier!
+
+ *item = ring->desc[*ring->consumer & (RING_SIZE - 1)];
+ (*ring->consumer)++;
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+ int enqueue_one(RING *ring, const RING_TYPE *item)
+ {
+ u32 free_entries = RING_SIZE - (*ring->producer - *ring->consumer);
+
+ if (free_entries == 0)
+ return -1;
+
+ ring->desc[*ring->producer & (RING_SIZE - 1)] = *item;
+
+ // write-barrier!
+
+ (*ring->producer)++;
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+
+For a more optimized version, please refer to the sample application.
+
+Sample application
+==================
+
+There is a xdpsock benchmarking/test application included that
+demonstrates how to use AF_XDP sockets with both private and shared
+UMEMs. Say that you would like your UDP traffic from port 4242 to end
+up in queue 16, that we will enable AF_XDP on. Here, we use ethtool
+for this::
+
+ ethtool -N p3p2 rx-flow-hash udp4 fn
+ ethtool -N p3p2 flow-type udp4 src-port 4242 dst-port 4242 \
+ action 16
+
+Running the rxdrop benchmark in XDP_DRV mode can then be done
+using::
+
+ samples/bpf/xdpsock -i p3p2 -q 16 -r -N
+
+For XDP_SKB mode, use the switch "-S" instead of "-N" and all options
+can be displayed with "-h", as usual.

+===============
+
+This file describes the Linux* Base Driver for the Intel(R) PRO/100 Family of
+Adapters. This driver includes support for Itanium(R)2-based systems.
+
+For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
+supplied with your Intel PRO/100 adapter.
+
+The following features are now available in supported kernels:
+ - Native VLANs
+ - Channel Bonding (teaming)
+ - SNMP
+
+Channel Bonding documentation can be found in the Linux kernel source:
+/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt
+
+
+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+
+For information on how to identify your adapter, and for the latest Intel
+network drivers, refer to the Intel Support website:
+http://www.intel.com/support
+
+Driver Configuration Parameters
+===============================
+
+The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting,
+unless otherwise noted.
+
+Rx Descriptors: Number of receive descriptors. A receive descriptor is a data
+ structure that describes a receive buffer and its attributes to the network
+ controller. The data in the descriptor is used by the controller to write
+ data from the controller to host memory. In the 3.x.x driver the valid range
+ for this parameter is 64-256. The default value is 256. This parameter can be
+ changed using the command::
+
+ ethtool -G eth? rx n
+
+ Where n is the number of desired Rx descriptors.
+
+Tx Descriptors: Number of transmit descriptors. A transmit descriptor is a data
+ structure that describes a transmit buffer and its attributes to the network
+ controller. The data in the descriptor is used by the controller to read
+ data from the host memory to the controller. In the 3.x.x driver the valid
+ range for this parameter is 64-256. The default value is 128. This parameter
+ can be changed using the command::
+
+ ethtool -G eth? tx n
+
+ Where n is the number of desired Tx descriptors.
+
+Speed/Duplex: The driver auto-negotiates the link speed and duplex settings by
+ default. The ethtool utility can be used as follows to force speed/duplex.::
+
+ ethtool -s eth? autoneg off speed {10|100} duplex {full|half}
+
+ NOTE: setting the speed/duplex to incorrect values will cause the link to
+ fail.
+
+Event Log Message Level: The driver uses the message level flag to log events
+ to syslog. The message level can be set at driver load time. It can also be
+ set using the command::
+
+ ethtool -s eth? msglvl n
+
+
+Additional Configurations
+=========================
+
+Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started
+is distribution dependent. Typically, the configuration process involves
+adding an alias line to /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf as well as editing other
+system startup scripts and/or configuration files. Many popular Linux
+distributions ship with tools to make these changes for you. To learn
+the proper way to configure a network device for your system, refer to
+your distribution documentation. If during this process you are asked
+for the driver or module name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for
+the Intel PRO/100 Family of Adapters is e100.
+
+As an example, if you install the e100 driver for two PRO/100 adapters
+(eth0 and eth1), add the following to a configuration file in
+/etc/modprobe.d/::
+
+ alias eth0 e100
+ alias eth1 e100
+
+Viewing Link Messages
+---------------------
+
+In order to see link messages and other Intel driver information on your
+console, you must set the dmesg level up to six. This can be done by
+entering the following on the command line before loading the e100
+driver::
+
+ dmesg -n 6
+
+If you wish to see all messages issued by the driver, including debug
+messages, set the dmesg level to eight.
+
+NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
+
+ethtool
+-------
+
+The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The ethtool
+version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality.
+
+The latest release of ethtool can be found from
+https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
+
+Enabling Wake on LAN* (WoL)
+---------------------------
+WoL is provided through the ethtool* utility. For instructions on
+enabling WoL with ethtool, refer to the ethtool man page. WoL will be
+enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot. For this
+driver version, in order to enable WoL, the e100 driver must be loaded
+when shutting down or rebooting the system.
+
+NAPI
+----
+
+NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the e100 driver.
+
+See https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/napi for more
+information on NAPI.
+
+Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have one
+system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain
+(non-partitioned switch) behave as expected. All Ethernet interfaces
+will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system.
+This results in unbalanced receive traffic.
+
+If you have multiple interfaces in a server, either turn on ARP
+filtering by
+
+(1) entering:: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter
+ (this only works if your kernel's version is higher than 2.4.5), or
+
+(2) installing the interfaces in separate broadcast domains (either
+ in different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs).

-In This Release
-===============
-
-This file describes the Linux* Base Driver for the Intel(R) PRO/100 Family of
-Adapters. This driver includes support for Itanium(R)2-based systems.
-
-For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
-supplied with your Intel PRO/100 adapter.
-
-The following features are now available in supported kernels:
- - Native VLANs
- - Channel Bonding (teaming)
- - SNMP
-
-Channel Bonding documentation can be found in the Linux kernel source:
-/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt
-
-
-Identifying Your Adapter
-========================
-
-For more information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &
-Driver ID Guide at:
-
- http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm
-
-For the latest Intel network drivers for Linux, refer to the following
-website. In the search field, enter your adapter name or type, or use the
-networking link on the left to search for your adapter:
-
- http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/support_intel.asp
-
-Driver Configuration Parameters
-===============================
-
-The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting,
-unless otherwise noted.
-
-Rx Descriptors: Number of receive descriptors. A receive descriptor is a data
- structure that describes a receive buffer and its attributes to the network
- controller. The data in the descriptor is used by the controller to write
- data from the controller to host memory. In the 3.x.x driver the valid range
- for this parameter is 64-256. The default value is 64. This parameter can be
- changed using the command:
-
- ethtool -G eth? rx n, where n is the number of desired rx descriptors.
-
-Tx Descriptors: Number of transmit descriptors. A transmit descriptor is a data
- structure that describes a transmit buffer and its attributes to the network
- controller. The data in the descriptor is used by the controller to read
- data from the host memory to the controller. In the 3.x.x driver the valid
- range for this parameter is 64-256. The default value is 64. This parameter
- can be changed using the command:
-
- ethtool -G eth? tx n, where n is the number of desired tx descriptors.
-
-Speed/Duplex: The driver auto-negotiates the link speed and duplex settings by
- default. The ethtool utility can be used as follows to force speed/duplex.
-
- ethtool -s eth? autoneg off speed {10|100} duplex {full|half}
-
- NOTE: setting the speed/duplex to incorrect values will cause the link to
- fail.
-
-Event Log Message Level: The driver uses the message level flag to log events
- to syslog. The message level can be set at driver load time. It can also be
- set using the command:
-
- ethtool -s eth? msglvl n
-
-
-Additional Configurations
-=========================
-
- Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started is
- distribution dependent. Typically, the configuration process involves adding
- an alias line to /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf as well as editing other system
- startup scripts and/or configuration files. Many popular Linux
- distributions ship with tools to make these changes for you. To learn the
- proper way to configure a network device for your system, refer to your
- distribution documentation. If during this process you are asked for the
- driver or module name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for the Intel
- PRO/100 Family of Adapters is e100.
-
- As an example, if you install the e100 driver for two PRO/100 adapters
- (eth0 and eth1), add the following to a configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d/
-
- alias eth0 e100
- alias eth1 e100
-
- Viewing Link Messages
- ---------------------
- In order to see link messages and other Intel driver information on your
- console, you must set the dmesg level up to six. This can be done by
- entering the following on the command line before loading the e100 driver:
-
- dmesg -n 8
-
- If you wish to see all messages issued by the driver, including debug
- messages, set the dmesg level to eight.
-
- NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
-
-
- ethtool
- -------
-
- The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
- diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The ethtool
- version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality.
-
- The latest release of ethtool can be found from
- https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
-
- Enabling Wake on LAN* (WoL)
- ---------------------------
- WoL is provided through the ethtool* utility. For instructions on enabling
- WoL with ethtool, refer to the ethtool man page.
-
- WoL will be enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot. For
- this driver version, in order to enable WoL, the e100 driver must be
- loaded when shutting down or rebooting the system.
-
- NAPI
- ----
-
- NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the e100 driver.
-
- See www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/usenix-paper.tgz for more information on NAPI.
-
- Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network
- ------------------------------------------------------
-
- Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have
- one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain
- (non-partitioned switch) behave as expected. All Ethernet interfaces
- will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system.
- This results in unbalanced receive traffic.
-
- If you have multiple interfaces in a server, either turn on ARP
- filtering by
-
- (1) entering: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter
- (this only works if your kernel's version is higher than 2.4.5), or
-
- (2) installing the interfaces in separate broadcast domains (either
- in different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs).
-

-On certain non-Intel architectures, it has been observed that intense TX

-have stalled for as much as 10 seconds before it resumes.
-
-The improper writeback does not occur on the first descriptor in a system

-
-Setting TxDescriptorStep to a value of 4 will ensure that all TX descriptors

-
-NOTES: Setting TxDescriptorStep to 4 effectively reduces the number of
- TxDescriptors available for transmits to 1/4 of the normal allocation.
- This has a possible negative performance impact, which may be
- compensated for by allocating more descriptors using the TxDescriptors

- There are other conditions which may result in "TX Timeout", which will

+FAILOVER
+========
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The failover module provides a generic interface for paravirtual drivers
+to register a netdev and a set of ops with a failover instance. The ops
+are used as event handlers that get called to handle netdev register/
+unregister/link change/name change events on slave pci ethernet devices
+with the same mac address as the failover netdev.
+
+This enables paravirtual drivers to use a VF as an accelerated low latency
+datapath. It also allows live migration of VMs with direct attached VFs by
+failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.

+NET_FAILOVER
+============
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The net_failover driver provides an automated failover mechanism via APIs
+to create and destroy a failover master netdev and mananges a primary and
+standby slave netdevs that get registered via the generic failover
+infrastructrure.
+
+The failover netdev acts a master device and controls 2 slave devices. The
+original paravirtual interface is registered as 'standby' slave netdev and
+a passthru/vf device with the same MAC gets registered as 'primary' slave
+netdev. Both 'standby' and 'failover' netdevs are associated with the same
+'pci' device. The user accesses the network interface via 'failover' netdev.
+The 'failover' netdev chooses 'primary' netdev as default for transmits when
+it is available with link up and running.
+
+This can be used by paravirtual drivers to enable an alternate low latency
+datapath. It also enables hypervisor controlled live migration of a VM with
+direct attached VF by failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF
+is unplugged.
+
+virtio-net accelerated datapath: STANDBY mode
+=============================================
+
+net_failover enables hypervisor controlled accelerated datapath to virtio-net
+enabled VMs in a transparent manner with no/minimal guest userspace chanages.
+
+To support this, the hypervisor needs to enable VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY
+feature on the virtio-net interface and assign the same MAC address to both
+virtio-net and VF interfaces.
+
+Here is an example XML snippet that shows such configuration.
+
+ <interface type='network'>
+ <mac address='52:54:00:00:12:53'/>
+ <source network='enp66s0f0_br'/>
+ <target dev='tap01'/>
+ <model type='virtio'/>
+ <driver name='vhost' queues='4'/>
+ <link state='down'/>
+ <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0a' function='0x0'/>
+ </interface>
+ <interface type='hostdev' managed='yes'>
+ <mac address='52:54:00:00:12:53'/>
+ <source>
+ <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x42' slot='0x02' function='0x5'/>
+ </source>
+ <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0b' function='0x0'/>
+ </interface>
+
+Booting a VM with the above configuration will result in the following 3
+netdevs created in the VM.
+
+4: ens10: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000

+ens10 is the 'failover' master netdev, ens10nsby and ens11 are the slave

+
+Live Migration of a VM with SR-IOV VF & virtio-net in STANDBY mode
+==================================================================
+
+net_failover also enables hypervisor controlled live migration to be supported
+with VMs that have direct attached SR-IOV VF devices by automatic failover to
+the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.
+
+Here is a sample script that shows the steps to initiate live migration on
+the source hypervisor.

+Supporting PMUs on RISC-V platforms
+==========================================

+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+As of this writing, perf_event-related features mentioned in The RISC-V ISA
+Privileged Version 1.10 are as follows:
+(please check the manual for more details)
+
+* [m|s]counteren
+* mcycle[h], cycle[h]
+* minstret[h], instret[h]
+* mhpeventx, mhpcounterx[h]
+
+With such function set only, porting perf would require a lot of work, due to
+the lack of the following general architectural performance monitoring features:
+
+* Enabling/Disabling counters
+ Counters are just free-running all the time in our case.
+* Interrupt caused by counter overflow
+ No such feature in the spec.
+* Interrupt indicator
+ It is not possible to have many interrupt ports for all counters, so an
+ interrupt indicator is required for software to tell which counter has
+ just overflowed.
+* Writing to counters
+ There will be an SBI to support this since the kernel cannot modify the
+ counters [1]. Alternatively, some vendor considers to implement
+ hardware-extension for M-S-U model machines to write counters directly.
+
+This document aims to provide developers a quick guide on supporting their
+PMUs in the kernel. The following sections briefly explain perf' mechanism
+and todos.
+
+You may check previous discussions here [1][2]. Also, it might be helpful
+to check the appendix for related kernel structures.
+
+
+1. Initialization
+-----------------
+
+*riscv_pmu* is a global pointer of type *struct riscv_pmu*, which contains
+various methods according to perf's internal convention and PMU-specific
+parameters. One should declare such instance to represent the PMU. By default,
+*riscv_pmu* points to a constant structure *riscv_base_pmu*, which has very
+basic support to a baseline QEMU model.
+
+Then he/she can either assign the instance's pointer to *riscv_pmu* so that
+the minimal and already-implemented logic can be leveraged, or invent his/her
+own *riscv_init_platform_pmu* implementation.
+
+In other words, existing sources of *riscv_base_pmu* merely provide a
+reference implementation. Developers can flexibly decide how many parts they
+can leverage, and in the most extreme case, they can customize every function
+according to their needs.
+
+
+2. Event Initialization
+-----------------------
+
+When a user launches a perf command to monitor some events, it is first
+interpreted by the userspace perf tool into multiple *perf_event_open*
+system calls, and then each of them calls to the body of *event_init*
+member function that was assigned in the previous step. In *riscv_base_pmu*'s
+case, it is *riscv_event_init*.
+
+The main purpose of this function is to translate the event provided by user
+into bitmap, so that HW-related control registers or counters can directly be
+manipulated. The translation is based on the mappings and methods provided in
+*riscv_pmu*.
+
+Note that some features can be done in this stage as well:
+
+(1) interrupt setting, which is stated in the next section;
+(2) privilege level setting (user space only, kernel space only, both);
+(3) destructor setting. Normally it is sufficient to apply *riscv_destroy_event*;
+(4) tweaks for non-sampling events, which will be utilized by functions such as
+*perf_adjust_period*, usually something like the follows:
+
+if (!is_sampling_event(event)) {
+ hwc->sample_period = x86_pmu.max_period;
+ hwc->last_period = hwc->sample_period;
+ local64_set(&hwc->period_left, hwc->sample_period);
+}
+
+In the case of *riscv_base_pmu*, only (3) is provided for now.
+
+
+3. Interrupt
+------------
+
+3.1. Interrupt Initialization
+
+This often occurs at the beginning of the *event_init* method. In common
+practice, this should be a code segment like
+
+int x86_reserve_hardware(void)
+{
+ int err = 0;
+
+ if (!atomic_inc_not_zero(&pmc_refcount)) {
+ mutex_lock(&pmc_reserve_mutex);
+ if (atomic_read(&pmc_refcount) == 0) {
+ if (!reserve_pmc_hardware())
+ err = -EBUSY;
+ else
+ reserve_ds_buffers();
+ }
+ if (!err)
+ atomic_inc(&pmc_refcount);
+ mutex_unlock(&pmc_reserve_mutex);
+ }
+
+ return err;
+}
+
+And the magic is in *reserve_pmc_hardware*, which usually does atomic
+operations to make implemented IRQ accessible from some global function pointer.
+*release_pmc_hardware* serves the opposite purpose, and it is used in event
+destructors mentioned in previous section.
+
+(Note: From the implementations in all the architectures, the *reserve/release*
+pair are always IRQ settings, so the *pmc_hardware* seems somehow misleading.
+It does NOT deal with the binding between an event and a physical counter,
+which will be introduced in the next section.)
+
+3.2. IRQ Structure
+
+Basically, a IRQ runs the following pseudo code:
+
+for each hardware counter that triggered this overflow
+
+ get the event of this counter
+
+ // following two steps are defined as *read()*,
+ // check the section Reading/Writing Counters for details.
+ count the delta value since previous interrupt
+ update the event->count (# event occurs) by adding delta, and
+ event->hw.period_left by subtracting delta
+
+ if the event overflows
+ sample data
+ set the counter appropriately for the next overflow
+
+ if the event overflows again
+ too frequently, throttle this event
+ fi
+ fi
+
+end for
+
+However as of this writing, none of the RISC-V implementations have designed an
+interrupt for perf, so the details are to be completed in the future.
+
+4. Reading/Writing Counters
+---------------------------
+
+They seem symmetric but perf treats them quite differently. For reading, there
+is a *read* interface in *struct pmu*, but it serves more than just reading.
+According to the context, the *read* function not only reads the content of the
+counter (event->count), but also updates the left period to the next interrupt
+(event->hw.period_left).
+
+But the core of perf does not need direct write to counters. Writing counters
+is hidden behind the abstraction of 1) *pmu->start*, literally start counting so one
+has to set the counter to a good value for the next interrupt; 2) inside the IRQ
+it should set the counter to the same resonable value.
+
+Reading is not a problem in RISC-V but writing would need some effort, since
+counters are not allowed to be written by S-mode.
+
+
+5. add()/del()/start()/stop()
+-----------------------------
+
+Basic idea: add()/del() adds/deletes events to/from a PMU, and start()/stop()
+starts/stop the counter of some event in the PMU. All of them take the same
+arguments: *struct perf_event *event* and *int flag*.
+
+Consider perf as a state machine, then you will find that these functions serve
+as the state transition process between those states.
+Three states (event->hw.state) are defined:
+
+* PERF_HES_STOPPED: the counter is stopped
+* PERF_HES_UPTODATE: the event->count is up-to-date
+* PERF_HES_ARCH: arch-dependent usage ... we don't need this for now
+
+A normal flow of these state transitions are as follows:
+
+* A user launches a perf event, resulting in calling to *event_init*.
+* When being context-switched in, *add* is called by the perf core, with a flag
+ PERF_EF_START, which means that the event should be started after it is added.
+ At this stage, a general event is bound to a physical counter, if any.
+ The state changes to PERF_HES_STOPPED and PERF_HES_UPTODATE, because it is now
+ stopped, and the (software) event count does not need updating.
+** *start* is then called, and the counter is enabled.
+ With flag PERF_EF_RELOAD, it writes an appropriate value to the counter (check
+ previous section for detail).
+ Nothing is written if the flag does not contain PERF_EF_RELOAD.
+ The state now is reset to none, because it is neither stopped nor updated
+ (the counting already started)
+* When being context-switched out, *del* is called. It then checks out all the
+ events in the PMU and calls *stop* to update their counts.
+** *stop* is called by *del*
+ and the perf core with flag PERF_EF_UPDATE, and it often shares the same
+ subroutine as *read* with the same logic.
+ The state changes to PERF_HES_STOPPED and PERF_HES_UPTODATE, again.
+
+** Life cycle of these two pairs: *add* and *del* are called repeatedly as
+ tasks switch in-and-out; *start* and *stop* is also called when the perf core
+ needs a quick stop-and-start, for instance, when the interrupt period is being
+ adjusted.
+
+Current implementation is sufficient for now and can be easily extended to
+features in the future.
+
+A. Related Structures
+---------------------
+
+* struct pmu: include/linux/perf_event.h
+* struct riscv_pmu: arch/riscv/include/asm/perf_event.h
+
+ Both structures are designed to be read-only.
+
+ *struct pmu* defines some function pointer interfaces, and most of them take
+*struct perf_event* as a main argument, dealing with perf events according to
+perf's internal state machine (check kernel/events/core.c for details).
+
+ *struct riscv_pmu* defines PMU-specific parameters. The naming follows the
+convention of all other architectures.
+
+* struct perf_event: include/linux/perf_event.h
+* struct hw_perf_event
+
+ The generic structure that represents perf events, and the hardware-related
+details.
+
+* struct riscv_hw_events: arch/riscv/include/asm/perf_event.h
+
+ The structure that holds the status of events, has two fixed members:
+the number of events and the array of the events.

+How to use the STM module

+Using the System Trace Macrocell module is the same as the tracers - the only

+3. User space creating a trigger
+--------------------------------
+
+Writing into /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_marker writes into the ftrace
+ring buffer. This can also act like an event, by writing into the trigger
+file located in /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/print/
+
+Modifying cyclictest to write into the trace_marker file before it sleeps
+and after it wakes up, something like this:
+
+static void traceputs(char *str)
+{
+ /* tracemark_fd is the trace_marker file descriptor */
+ if (tracemark_fd < 0)
+ return;
+ /* write the tracemark message */
+ write(tracemark_fd, str, strlen(str));
+}
+
+And later add something like:
+
+ traceputs("start");
+ clock_nanosleep(...);
+ traceputs("end");
+
+We can make a histogram from this:
+
+ # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
+ # echo 'latency u64 lat' > synthetic_events
+ # echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs if buf == "start"' > events/ftrace/print/trigger
+ # echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(ftrace.print).latency($lat) if buf == "end"' >> events/ftrace/print/trigger
+ # echo 'hist:keys=lat,common_pid:sort=lat' > events/synthetic/latency/trigger
+
+The above created a synthetic event called "latency" and two histograms
+against the trace_marker, one gets triggered when "start" is written into the
+trace_marker file and the other when "end" is written. If the pids match, then
+it will call the "latency" synthetic event with the calculated latency as its
+parameter. Finally, a histogram is added to the latency synthetic event to
+record the calculated latency along with the pid.
+
+Now running cyclictest with:
+
+ # ./cyclictest -p80 -d0 -i250 -n -a -t --tracemark -b 1000
+
+ -p80 : run threads at priority 80
+ -d0 : have all threads run at the same interval
+ -i250 : start the interval at 250 microseconds (all threads will do this)
+ -n : sleep with nanosleep
+ -a : affine all threads to a separate CPU
+ -t : one thread per available CPU
+ --tracemark : enable trace mark writing
+ -b 1000 : stop if any latency is greater than 1000 microseconds
+
+Note, the -b 1000 is used just to make --tracemark available.
+
+Then we can see the histogram created by this with:
+
+ # cat events/synthetic/latency/hist
+# event histogram
+#
+# trigger info: hist:keys=lat,common_pid:vals=hitcount:sort=lat:size=2048 [active]

+
+Note, the writes are around the sleep, so ideally they will all be of 250
+microseconds. If you are wondering how there are several that are under
+250 microseconds, that is because the way cyclictest works, is if one
+iteration comes in late, the next one will set the timer to wake up less that
+250. That is, if an iteration came in 50 microseconds late, the next wake up
+will be at 200 microseconds.
+
+But this could easily be done in userspace. To make this even more
+interesting, we can mix the histogram between events that happened in the
+kernel with trace_marker.
+
+ # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
+ # echo 'latency u64 lat' > synthetic_events
+ # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs' > events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
+ # echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).latency($lat) if buf == "end"' > events/ftrace/print/trigger
+ # echo 'hist:keys=lat,common_pid:sort=lat' > events/synthetic/latency/trigger
+
+The difference this time is that instead of using the trace_marker to start
+the latency, the sched_waking event is used, matching the common_pid for the
+trace_marker write with the pid that is being woken by sched_waking.
+
+After running cyclictest again with the same parameters, we now have:
+
+ # cat events/synthetic/latency/hist
+# event histogram
+#
+# trigger info: hist:keys=lat,common_pid:vals=hitcount:sort=lat:size=2048 [active]
+#

+===================
+Speculation Control
+===================
+
+Quite some CPUs have speculation-related misfeatures which are in
+fact vulnerabilities causing data leaks in various forms even across
+privilege domains.
+
+The kernel provides mitigation for such vulnerabilities in various
+forms. Some of these mitigations are compile-time configurable and some
+can be supplied on the kernel command line.
+
+There is also a class of mitigations which are very expensive, but they can
+be restricted to a certain set of processes or tasks in controlled
+environments. The mechanism to control these mitigations is via
+:manpage:`prctl(2)`.
+
+There are two prctl options which are related to this:
+
+ * PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL
+
+ * PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL
+
+PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL
+-----------------------
+
+PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL returns the state of the speculation misfeature
+which is selected with arg2 of prctl(2). The return value uses bits 0-3 with
+the following meaning:
+
+==== ===================== ===================================================
+Bit Define Description
+==== ===================== ===================================================
+0 PR_SPEC_PRCTL Mitigation can be controlled per task by
+ PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL.
+1 PR_SPEC_ENABLE The speculation feature is enabled, mitigation is
+ disabled.
+2 PR_SPEC_DISABLE The speculation feature is disabled, mitigation is
+ enabled.
+3 PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE Same as PR_SPEC_DISABLE, but cannot be undone. A
+ subsequent prctl(..., PR_SPEC_ENABLE) will fail.
+==== ===================== ===================================================
+
+If all bits are 0 the CPU is not affected by the speculation misfeature.
+
+If PR_SPEC_PRCTL is set, then the per-task control of the mitigation is
+available. If not set, prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL) for the speculation
+misfeature will fail.
+
+PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL
+-----------------------
+
+PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL allows to control the speculation misfeature, which
+is selected by arg2 of :manpage:`prctl(2)` per task. arg3 is used to hand
+in the control value, i.e. either PR_SPEC_ENABLE or PR_SPEC_DISABLE or
+PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE.
+
+Common error codes
+------------------
+======= =================================================================
+Value Meaning
+======= =================================================================
+EINVAL The prctl is not implemented by the architecture or unused
+ prctl(2) arguments are not 0.
+
+ENODEV arg2 is selecting a not supported speculation misfeature.
+======= =================================================================
+
+PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL error codes
+-----------------------------------
+======= =================================================================
+Value Meaning
+======= =================================================================
+0 Success
+
+ERANGE arg3 is incorrect, i.e. it's neither PR_SPEC_ENABLE nor
+ PR_SPEC_DISABLE nor PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE.
+
+ENXIO Control of the selected speculation misfeature is not possible.
+ See PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL.
+
+EPERM Speculation was disabled with PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE and caller
+ tried to enable it again.

+ Basically, the new setup is:
+
+ - we have "real address spaces" and "anonymous address spaces". The
+ difference is that an anonymous address space doesn't care about the
+ user-level page tables at all, so when we do a context switch into an
+ anonymous address space we just leave the previous address space
+ active.
+
+ The obvious use for a "anonymous address space" is any thread that
+ doesn't need any user mappings - all kernel threads basically fall into
+ this category, but even "real" threads can temporarily say that for
+ some amount of time they are not going to be interested in user space,
+ and that the scheduler might as well try to avoid wasting time on
+ switching the VM state around. Currently only the old-style bdflush
+ sync does that.
+
+ - "tsk->mm" points to the "real address space". For an anonymous process,
+ tsk->mm will be NULL, for the logical reason that an anonymous process
+ really doesn't _have_ a real address space at all.
+
+ - however, we obviously need to keep track of which address space we
+ "stole" for such an anonymous user. For that, we have "tsk->active_mm",
+ which shows what the currently active address space is.
+
+ The rule is that for a process with a real address space (ie tsk->mm is
+ non-NULL) the active_mm obviously always has to be the same as the real
+ one.
+
+ For a anonymous process, tsk->mm == NULL, and tsk->active_mm is the
+ "borrowed" mm while the anonymous process is running. When the
+ anonymous process gets scheduled away, the borrowed address space is
+ returned and cleared.
+
+ To support all that, the "struct mm_struct" now has two counters: a
+ "mm_users" counter that is how many "real address space users" there are,
+ and a "mm_count" counter that is the number of "lazy" users (ie anonymous
+ users) plus one if there are any real users.
+
+ Usually there is at least one real user, but it could be that the real
+ user exited on another CPU while a lazy user was still active, so you do
+ actually get cases where you have a address space that is _only_ used by
+ lazy users. That is often a short-lived state, because once that thread
+ gets scheduled away in favour of a real thread, the "zombie" mm gets
+ released because "mm_users" becomes zero.
+
+ Also, a new rule is that _nobody_ ever has "init_mm" as a real MM any
+ more. "init_mm" should be considered just a "lazy context when no other
+ context is available", and in fact it is mainly used just at bootup when
+ no real VM has yet been created. So code that used to check
+
+ if (current->mm == &init_mm)
+
+ should generally just do
+
+ if (!current->mm)
+
+ instead (which makes more sense anyway - the test is basically one of "do
+ we have a user context", and is generally done by the page fault handler
+ and things like that).
+
+ Anyway, I put a pre-patch-2.3.13-1 on ftp.kernel.org just a moment ago,
+ because it slightly changes the interfaces to accommodate the alpha (who
+ would have thought it, but the alpha actually ends up having one of the
+ ugliest context switch codes - unlike the other architectures where the MM
+ and register state is separate, the alpha PALcode joins the two, and you
+ need to switch both together).

+ :DOC: Overview
+
+Reverse mapping
+---------------
+KSM maintains reverse mapping information for KSM pages in the stable
+tree.
+
+If a KSM page is shared between less than ``max_page_sharing`` VMAs,
+the node of the stable tree that represents such KSM page points to a
+list of :c:type:`struct rmap_item` and the ``page->mapping`` of the
+KSM page points to the stable tree node.
+
+When the sharing passes this threshold, KSM adds a second dimension to
+the stable tree. The tree node becomes a "chain" that links one or
+more "dups". Each "dup" keeps reverse mapping information for a KSM
+page with ``page->mapping`` pointing to that "dup".
+
+Every "chain" and all "dups" linked into a "chain" enforce the
+invariant that they represent the same write protected memory content,
+even if each "dup" will be pointed by a different KSM page copy of
+that content.
+
+This way the stable tree lookup computational complexity is unaffected
+if compared to an unlimited list of reverse mappings. It is still
+enforced that there cannot be KSM page content duplicates in the
+stable tree itself.
+
+The deduplication limit enforced by ``max_page_sharing`` is required
+to avoid the virtual memory rmap lists to grow too large. The rmap
+walk has O(N) complexity where N is the number of rmap_items
+(i.e. virtual mappings) that are sharing the page, which is in turn
+capped by ``max_page_sharing``. So this effectively spreads the linear
+O(N) computational complexity from rmap walk context over different
+KSM pages. The ksmd walk over the stable_node "chains" is also O(N),
+but N is the number of stable_node "dups", not the number of
+rmap_items, so it has not a significant impact on ksmd performance. In
+practice the best stable_node "dup" candidate will be kept and found
+at the head of the "dups" list.
+
+High values of ``max_page_sharing`` result in faster memory merging
+(because there will be fewer stable_node dups queued into the
+stable_node chain->hlist to check for pruning) and higher
+deduplication factor at the expense of slower worst case for rmap
+walks for any KSM page which can happen during swapping, compaction,
+NUMA balancing and page migration.
+
+The ``stable_node_dups/stable_node_chains`` ratio is also affected by the
+``max_page_sharing`` tunable, and an high ratio may indicate fragmentation
+in the stable_node dups, which could be solved by introducing
+fragmentation algorithms in ksmd which would refile rmap_items from
+one stable_node dup to another stable_node dup, in order to free up
+stable_node "dups" with few rmap_items in them, but that may increase
+the ksmd CPU usage and possibly slowdown the readonly computations on
+the KSM pages of the applications.
+
+The whole list of stable_node "dups" linked in the stable_node
+"chains" is scanned periodically in order to prune stale stable_nodes.
+The frequency of such scans is defined by
+``stable_node_chains_prune_millisecs`` sysfs tunable.

-KSM only merges anonymous (private) pages, never pagecache (file) pages.
-KSM's merged pages were originally locked into kernel memory, but can now
-be swapped out just like other user pages (but sharing is broken when they
-are swapped back in: ksmd must rediscover their identity and merge again).
-
-KSM only operates on those areas of address space which an application
-has advised to be likely candidates for merging, by using the madvise(2)
-system call: int madvise(addr, length, MADV_MERGEABLE).
-
-The app may call int madvise(addr, length, MADV_UNMERGEABLE) to cancel
-that advice and restore unshared pages: whereupon KSM unmerges whatever
-it merged in that range. Note: this unmerging call may suddenly require
-more memory than is available - possibly failing with EAGAIN, but more
-probably arousing the Out-Of-Memory killer.
-
-If KSM is not configured into the running kernel, madvise MADV_MERGEABLE
-and MADV_UNMERGEABLE simply fail with EINVAL. If the running kernel was
-built with CONFIG_KSM=y, those calls will normally succeed: even if the
-the KSM daemon is not currently running, MADV_MERGEABLE still registers
-the range for whenever the KSM daemon is started; even if the range
-cannot contain any pages which KSM could actually merge; even if
-MADV_UNMERGEABLE is applied to a range which was never MADV_MERGEABLE.
-
-If a region of memory must be split into at least one new MADV_MERGEABLE
-or MADV_UNMERGEABLE region, the madvise may return ENOMEM if the process
-will exceed vm.max_map_count (see Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt).
-
-Like other madvise calls, they are intended for use on mapped areas of
-the user address space: they will report ENOMEM if the specified range
-includes unmapped gaps (though working on the intervening mapped areas),
-and might fail with EAGAIN if not enough memory for internal structures.
-
-Applications should be considerate in their use of MADV_MERGEABLE,
-restricting its use to areas likely to benefit. KSM's scans may use a lot
-of processing power: some installations will disable KSM for that reason.
-
-The KSM daemon is controlled by sysfs files in /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/,
-readable by all but writable only by root:
-
-pages_to_scan - how many present pages to scan before ksmd goes to sleep
- e.g. "echo 100 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_to_scan"
- Default: 100 (chosen for demonstration purposes)
-
-sleep_millisecs - how many milliseconds ksmd should sleep before next scan
- e.g. "echo 20 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs"
- Default: 20 (chosen for demonstration purposes)
-
-merge_across_nodes - specifies if pages from different numa nodes can be merged.
- When set to 0, ksm merges only pages which physically
- reside in the memory area of same NUMA node. That brings
- lower latency to access of shared pages. Systems with more
- nodes, at significant NUMA distances, are likely to benefit
- from the lower latency of setting 0. Smaller systems, which
- need to minimize memory usage, are likely to benefit from
- the greater sharing of setting 1 (default). You may wish to
- compare how your system performs under each setting, before
- deciding on which to use. merge_across_nodes setting can be
- changed only when there are no ksm shared pages in system:
- set run 2 to unmerge pages first, then to 1 after changing
- merge_across_nodes, to remerge according to the new setting.
- Default: 1 (merging across nodes as in earlier releases)
-
-run - set 0 to stop ksmd from running but keep merged pages,
- set 1 to run ksmd e.g. "echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run",
- set 2 to stop ksmd and unmerge all pages currently merged,
- but leave mergeable areas registered for next run
- Default: 0 (must be changed to 1 to activate KSM,
- except if CONFIG_SYSFS is disabled)
-
-use_zero_pages - specifies whether empty pages (i.e. allocated pages
- that only contain zeroes) should be treated specially.
- When set to 1, empty pages are merged with the kernel
- zero page(s) instead of with each other as it would
- happen normally. This can improve the performance on
- architectures with coloured zero pages, depending on
- the workload. Care should be taken when enabling this
- setting, as it can potentially degrade the performance
- of KSM for some workloads, for example if the checksums
- of pages candidate for merging match the checksum of
- an empty page. This setting can be changed at any time,
- it is only effective for pages merged after the change.
- Default: 0 (normal KSM behaviour as in earlier releases)
-
-max_page_sharing - Maximum sharing allowed for each KSM page. This
- enforces a deduplication limit to avoid the virtual
- memory rmap lists to grow too large. The minimum
- value is 2 as a newly created KSM page will have at
- least two sharers. The rmap walk has O(N)
- complexity where N is the number of rmap_items
- (i.e. virtual mappings) that are sharing the page,
- which is in turn capped by max_page_sharing. So
- this effectively spread the the linear O(N)
- computational complexity from rmap walk context
- over different KSM pages. The ksmd walk over the
- stable_node "chains" is also O(N), but N is the
- number of stable_node "dups", not the number of
- rmap_items, so it has not a significant impact on
- ksmd performance. In practice the best stable_node
- "dup" candidate will be kept and found at the head
- of the "dups" list. The higher this value the
- faster KSM will merge the memory (because there
- will be fewer stable_node dups queued into the
- stable_node chain->hlist to check for pruning) and
- the higher the deduplication factor will be, but
- the slowest the worst case rmap walk could be for
- any given KSM page. Slowing down the rmap_walk
- means there will be higher latency for certain
- virtual memory operations happening during
- swapping, compaction, NUMA balancing and page
- migration, in turn decreasing responsiveness for
- the caller of those virtual memory operations. The
- scheduler latency of other tasks not involved with
- the VM operations doing the rmap walk is not
- affected by this parameter as the rmap walks are
- always schedule friendly themselves.
-
-stable_node_chains_prune_millisecs - How frequently to walk the whole
- list of stable_node "dups" linked in the
- stable_node "chains" in order to prune stale
- stable_nodes. Smaller milllisecs values will free
- up the KSM metadata with lower latency, but they
- will make ksmd use more CPU during the scan. This
- only applies to the stable_node chains so it's a
- noop if not a single KSM page hit the
- max_page_sharing yet (there would be no stable_node
- chains in such case).
-
-The effectiveness of KSM and MADV_MERGEABLE is shown in /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/:
-
-pages_shared - how many shared pages are being used
-pages_sharing - how many more sites are sharing them i.e. how much saved
-pages_unshared - how many pages unique but repeatedly checked for merging
-pages_volatile - how many pages changing too fast to be placed in a tree
-full_scans - how many times all mergeable areas have been scanned
-
-stable_node_chains - number of stable node chains allocated, this is
- effectively the number of KSM pages that hit the
- max_page_sharing limit
-stable_node_dups - number of stable node dups queued into the
- stable_node chains
-
-A high ratio of pages_sharing to pages_shared indicates good sharing, but
-a high ratio of pages_unshared to pages_sharing indicates wasted effort.
-pages_volatile embraces several different kinds of activity, but a high
-proportion there would also indicate poor use of madvise MADV_MERGEABLE.
-
-The maximum possible page_sharing/page_shared ratio is limited by the
-max_page_sharing tunable. To increase the ratio max_page_sharing must
-be increased accordingly.
-
-The stable_node_dups/stable_node_chains ratio is also affected by the
-max_page_sharing tunable, and an high ratio may indicate fragmentation
-in the stable_node dups, which could be solved by introducing
-fragmentation algorithms in ksmd which would refile rmap_items from
-one stable_node dup to another stable_node dup, in order to freeup
-stable_node "dups" with few rmap_items in them, but that may increase
-the ksmd CPU usage and possibly slowdown the readonly computations on
-the KSM pages of the applications.

+When do you need to notify inside page table lock ?
+===================================================
+
+When clearing a pte/pmd we are given a choice to notify the event through
+(notify version of \*_clear_flush call mmu_notifier_invalidate_range) under
+the page table lock. But that notification is not necessary in all cases.
+
+For secondary TLB (non CPU TLB) like IOMMU TLB or device TLB (when device use
+thing like ATS/PASID to get the IOMMU to walk the CPU page table to access a
+process virtual address space). There is only 2 cases when you need to notify
+those secondary TLB while holding page table lock when clearing a pte/pmd:
+
+ A) page backing address is free before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end()
+ B) a page table entry is updated to point to a new page (COW, write fault
+ on zero page, __replace_page(), ...)
+
+Case A is obvious you do not want to take the risk for the device to write to
+a page that might now be used by some completely different task.
+
+Case B is more subtle. For correctness it requires the following sequence to
+happen:
+
+ - take page table lock
+ - clear page table entry and notify ([pmd/pte]p_huge_clear_flush_notify())
+ - set page table entry to point to new page
+
+If clearing the page table entry is not followed by a notify before setting
+the new pte/pmd value then you can break memory model like C11 or C++11 for
+the device.
+
+Consider the following scenario (device use a feature similar to ATS/PASID):
+
+Two address addrA and addrB such that \|addrA - addrB\| >= PAGE_SIZE we assume
+they are write protected for COW (other case of B apply too).
+
+::
+

+ CPU-thread-1 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrB)}}
+ CPU-thread-2 {}
+ CPU-thread-3 {}
+ DEV-thread-0 {}
+ DEV-thread-2 {}
+ [Time N+2] ------------------------------------------------------------------
+ CPU-thread-0 {COW_step1: {update page table to point to new page for addrA}}
+ CPU-thread-1 {COW_step1: {update page table to point to new page for addrB}}
+ CPU-thread-2 {}
+ CPU-thread-3 {}
+ DEV-thread-0 {}
+ DEV-thread-2 {}
+ [Time N+3] ------------------------------------------------------------------
+ CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
+ CPU-thread-1 {preempted}
+ CPU-thread-2 {write to addrA which is a write to new page}
+ CPU-thread-3 {}
+ DEV-thread-0 {}
+ DEV-thread-2 {}
+ [Time N+3] ------------------------------------------------------------------
+ CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
+ CPU-thread-1 {preempted}
+ CPU-thread-2 {}
+ CPU-thread-3 {write to addrB which is a write to new page}
+ DEV-thread-0 {}
+ DEV-thread-2 {}
+ [Time N+4] ------------------------------------------------------------------
+ CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
+ CPU-thread-1 {COW_step3: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(addrB)}}
+ CPU-thread-2 {}
+ CPU-thread-3 {}
+ DEV-thread-0 {}
+ DEV-thread-2 {}
+ [Time N+5] ------------------------------------------------------------------
+ CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
+ CPU-thread-1 {}
+ CPU-thread-2 {}
+ CPU-thread-3 {}
+ DEV-thread-0 {read addrA from old page}
+ DEV-thread-2 {read addrB from new page}
+
+So here because at time N+2 the clear page table entry was not pair with a
+notification to invalidate the secondary TLB, the device see the new value for
+addrB before seing the new value for addrA. This break total memory ordering
+for the device.
+
+When changing a pte to write protect or to point to a new write protected page
+with same content (KSM) it is fine to delay the mmu_notifier_invalidate_range
+call to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() outside the page table lock. This
+is true even if the thread doing the page table update is preempted right after
+releasing page table lock but before call mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end().

-What is Linux Memory Policy?
-
-In the Linux kernel, "memory policy" determines from which node the kernel will
-allocate memory in a NUMA system or in an emulated NUMA system. Linux has
-supported platforms with Non-Uniform Memory Access architectures since 2.4.?.
-The current memory policy support was added to Linux 2.6 around May 2004. This
-document attempts to describe the concepts and APIs of the 2.6 memory policy
-support.
-
-Memory policies should not be confused with cpusets
-(Documentation/cgroup-v1/cpusets.txt)
-which is an administrative mechanism for restricting the nodes from which
-memory may be allocated by a set of processes. Memory policies are a
-programming interface that a NUMA-aware application can take advantage of. When
-both cpusets and policies are applied to a task, the restrictions of the cpuset
-takes priority. See "MEMORY POLICIES AND CPUSETS" below for more details.
-
-MEMORY POLICY CONCEPTS
-
-Scope of Memory Policies
-
-The Linux kernel supports _scopes_ of memory policy, described here from
-most general to most specific:
-
- System Default Policy: this policy is "hard coded" into the kernel. It
- is the policy that governs all page allocations that aren't controlled
- by one of the more specific policy scopes discussed below. When the
- system is "up and running", the system default policy will use "local
- allocation" described below. However, during boot up, the system
- default policy will be set to interleave allocations across all nodes
- with "sufficient" memory, so as not to overload the initial boot node
- with boot-time allocations.
-
- Task/Process Policy: this is an optional, per-task policy. When defined
- for a specific task, this policy controls all page allocations made by or
- on behalf of the task that aren't controlled by a more specific scope.
- If a task does not define a task policy, then all page allocations that
- would have been controlled by the task policy "fall back" to the System
- Default Policy.
-
- The task policy applies to the entire address space of a task. Thus,
- it is inheritable, and indeed is inherited, across both fork()
- [clone() w/o the CLONE_VM flag] and exec*(). This allows a parent task
- to establish the task policy for a child task exec()'d from an
- executable image that has no awareness of memory policy. See the
- MEMORY POLICY APIS section, below, for an overview of the system call
- that a task may use to set/change its task/process policy.
-
- In a multi-threaded task, task policies apply only to the thread
- [Linux kernel task] that installs the policy and any threads
- subsequently created by that thread. Any sibling threads existing
- at the time a new task policy is installed retain their current
- policy.
-
- A task policy applies only to pages allocated after the policy is
- installed. Any pages already faulted in by the task when the task
- changes its task policy remain where they were allocated based on
- the policy at the time they were allocated.
-
- VMA Policy: A "VMA" or "Virtual Memory Area" refers to a range of a task's
- virtual address space. A task may define a specific policy for a range
- of its virtual address space. See the MEMORY POLICIES APIS section,
- below, for an overview of the mbind() system call used to set a VMA
- policy.
-
- A VMA policy will govern the allocation of pages that back this region of
- the address space. Any regions of the task's address space that don't
- have an explicit VMA policy will fall back to the task policy, which may
- itself fall back to the System Default Policy.
-
- VMA policies have a few complicating details:
-
- VMA policy applies ONLY to anonymous pages. These include pages
- allocated for anonymous segments, such as the task stack and heap, and
- any regions of the address space mmap()ed with the MAP_ANONYMOUS flag.
- If a VMA policy is applied to a file mapping, it will be ignored if
- the mapping used the MAP_SHARED flag. If the file mapping used the
- MAP_PRIVATE flag, the VMA policy will only be applied when an
- anonymous page is allocated on an attempt to write to the mapping--
- i.e., at Copy-On-Write.
-
- VMA policies are shared between all tasks that share a virtual address
- space--a.k.a. threads--independent of when the policy is installed; and
- they are inherited across fork(). However, because VMA policies refer
- to a specific region of a task's address space, and because the address
- space is discarded and recreated on exec*(), VMA policies are NOT
- inheritable across exec(). Thus, only NUMA-aware applications may
- use VMA policies.
-
- A task may install a new VMA policy on a sub-range of a previously
- mmap()ed region. When this happens, Linux splits the existing virtual
- memory area into 2 or 3 VMAs, each with it's own policy.
-
- By default, VMA policy applies only to pages allocated after the policy
- is installed. Any pages already faulted into the VMA range remain
- where they were allocated based on the policy at the time they were
- allocated. However, since 2.6.16, Linux supports page migration via
- the mbind() system call, so that page contents can be moved to match
- a newly installed policy.
-
- Shared Policy: Conceptually, shared policies apply to "memory objects"
- mapped shared into one or more tasks' distinct address spaces. An
- application installs a shared policies the same way as VMA policies--using
- the mbind() system call specifying a range of virtual addresses that map
- the shared object. However, unlike VMA policies, which can be considered
- to be an attribute of a range of a task's address space, shared policies
- apply directly to the shared object. Thus, all tasks that attach to the
- object share the policy, and all pages allocated for the shared object,
- by any task, will obey the shared policy.
-
- As of 2.6.22, only shared memory segments, created by shmget() or
- mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_SHARED), support shared policy. When shared
- policy support was added to Linux, the associated data structures were
- added to hugetlbfs shmem segments. At the time, hugetlbfs did not
- support allocation at fault time--a.k.a lazy allocation--so hugetlbfs
- shmem segments were never "hooked up" to the shared policy support.
- Although hugetlbfs segments now support lazy allocation, their support
- for shared policy has not been completed.
-
- As mentioned above [re: VMA policies], allocations of page cache
- pages for regular files mmap()ed with MAP_SHARED ignore any VMA
- policy installed on the virtual address range backed by the shared
- file mapping. Rather, shared page cache pages, including pages backing
- private mappings that have not yet been written by the task, follow
- task policy, if any, else System Default Policy.
-
- The shared policy infrastructure supports different policies on subset
- ranges of the shared object. However, Linux still splits the VMA of
- the task that installs the policy for each range of distinct policy.
- Thus, different tasks that attach to a shared memory segment can have
- different VMA configurations mapping that one shared object. This
- can be seen by examining the /proc/<pid>/numa_maps of tasks sharing
- a shared memory region, when one task has installed shared policy on
- one or more ranges of the region.
-
-Components of Memory Policies
-
- A Linux memory policy consists of a "mode", optional mode flags, and an
- optional set of nodes. The mode determines the behavior of the policy,
- the optional mode flags determine the behavior of the mode, and the
- optional set of nodes can be viewed as the arguments to the policy
- behavior.
-
- Internally, memory policies are implemented by a reference counted
- structure, struct mempolicy. Details of this structure will be discussed
- in context, below, as required to explain the behavior.
-
- Linux memory policy supports the following 4 behavioral modes:
-
- Default Mode--MPOL_DEFAULT: This mode is only used in the memory
- policy APIs. Internally, MPOL_DEFAULT is converted to the NULL
- memory policy in all policy scopes. Any existing non-default policy
- will simply be removed when MPOL_DEFAULT is specified. As a result,
- MPOL_DEFAULT means "fall back to the next most specific policy scope."
-
- For example, a NULL or default task policy will fall back to the
- system default policy. A NULL or default vma policy will fall
- back to the task policy.
-
- When specified in one of the memory policy APIs, the Default mode
- does not use the optional set of nodes.
-
- It is an error for the set of nodes specified for this policy to
- be non-empty.
-
- MPOL_BIND: This mode specifies that memory must come from the
- set of nodes specified by the policy. Memory will be allocated from
- the node in the set with sufficient free memory that is closest to
- the node where the allocation takes place.
-
- MPOL_PREFERRED: This mode specifies that the allocation should be
- attempted from the single node specified in the policy. If that
- allocation fails, the kernel will search other nodes, in order of
- increasing distance from the preferred node based on information
- provided by the platform firmware.
-
- Internally, the Preferred policy uses a single node--the
- preferred_node member of struct mempolicy. When the internal
- mode flag MPOL_F_LOCAL is set, the preferred_node is ignored and
- the policy is interpreted as local allocation. "Local" allocation
- policy can be viewed as a Preferred policy that starts at the node
- containing the cpu where the allocation takes place.
-
- It is possible for the user to specify that local allocation is
- always preferred by passing an empty nodemask with this mode.
- If an empty nodemask is passed, the policy cannot use the
- MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES or MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flags described
- below.
-
- MPOL_INTERLEAVED: This mode specifies that page allocations be
- interleaved, on a page granularity, across the nodes specified in
- the policy. This mode also behaves slightly differently, based on
- the context where it is used:
-
- For allocation of anonymous pages and shared memory pages,
- Interleave mode indexes the set of nodes specified by the policy
- using the page offset of the faulting address into the segment
- [VMA] containing the address modulo the number of nodes specified
- by the policy. It then attempts to allocate a page, starting at
- the selected node, as if the node had been specified by a Preferred
- policy or had been selected by a local allocation. That is,
- allocation will follow the per node zonelist.
-
- For allocation of page cache pages, Interleave mode indexes the set
- of nodes specified by the policy using a node counter maintained
- per task. This counter wraps around to the lowest specified node
- after it reaches the highest specified node. This will tend to
- spread the pages out over the nodes specified by the policy based
- on the order in which they are allocated, rather than based on any
- page offset into an address range or file. During system boot up,
- the temporary interleaved system default policy works in this
- mode.
-
- Linux memory policy supports the following optional mode flags:
-
- MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES: This flag specifies that the nodemask passed by
- the user should not be remapped if the task or VMA's set of allowed
- nodes changes after the memory policy has been defined.
-
- Without this flag, anytime a mempolicy is rebound because of a
- change in the set of allowed nodes, the node (Preferred) or
- nodemask (Bind, Interleave) is remapped to the new set of
- allowed nodes. This may result in nodes being used that were
- previously undesired.
-
- With this flag, if the user-specified nodes overlap with the
- nodes allowed by the task's cpuset, then the memory policy is
- applied to their intersection. If the two sets of nodes do not
- overlap, the Default policy is used.
-
- For example, consider a task that is attached to a cpuset with
- mems 1-3 that sets an Interleave policy over the same set. If
- the cpuset's mems change to 3-5, the Interleave will now occur
- over nodes 3, 4, and 5. With this flag, however, since only node
- 3 is allowed from the user's nodemask, the "interleave" only
- occurs over that node. If no nodes from the user's nodemask are
- now allowed, the Default behavior is used.
-
- MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES cannot be combined with the
- MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flag. It also cannot be used for
- MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask
- (local allocation).
-
- MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES: This flag specifies that the nodemask passed
- by the user will be mapped relative to the set of the task or VMA's
- set of allowed nodes. The kernel stores the user-passed nodemask,
- and if the allowed nodes changes, then that original nodemask will
- be remapped relative to the new set of allowed nodes.
-
- Without this flag (and without MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES), anytime a
- mempolicy is rebound because of a change in the set of allowed
- nodes, the node (Preferred) or nodemask (Bind, Interleave) is
- remapped to the new set of allowed nodes. That remap may not
- preserve the relative nature of the user's passed nodemask to its
- set of allowed nodes upon successive rebinds: a nodemask of
- 1,3,5 may be remapped to 7-9 and then to 1-3 if the set of
- allowed nodes is restored to its original state.
-
- With this flag, the remap is done so that the node numbers from
- the user's passed nodemask are relative to the set of allowed
- nodes. In other words, if nodes 0, 2, and 4 are set in the user's
- nodemask, the policy will be effected over the first (and in the
- Bind or Interleave case, the third and fifth) nodes in the set of
- allowed nodes. The nodemask passed by the user represents nodes
- relative to task or VMA's set of allowed nodes.
-
- If the user's nodemask includes nodes that are outside the range
- of the new set of allowed nodes (for example, node 5 is set in
- the user's nodemask when the set of allowed nodes is only 0-3),
- then the remap wraps around to the beginning of the nodemask and,
- if not already set, sets the node in the mempolicy nodemask.
-
- For example, consider a task that is attached to a cpuset with
- mems 2-5 that sets an Interleave policy over the same set with
- MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES. If the cpuset's mems change to 3-7, the
- interleave now occurs over nodes 3,5-7. If the cpuset's mems
- then change to 0,2-3,5, then the interleave occurs over nodes
- 0,2-3,5.
-
- Thanks to the consistent remapping, applications preparing
- nodemasks to specify memory policies using this flag should
- disregard their current, actual cpuset imposed memory placement
- and prepare the nodemask as if they were always located on
- memory nodes 0 to N-1, where N is the number of memory nodes the
- policy is intended to manage. Let the kernel then remap to the
- set of memory nodes allowed by the task's cpuset, as that may
- change over time.
-
- MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES cannot be combined with the
- MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES flag. It also cannot be used for
- MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask
- (local allocation).
-
-MEMORY POLICY REFERENCE COUNTING
-
-To resolve use/free races, struct mempolicy contains an atomic reference
-count field. Internal interfaces, mpol_get()/mpol_put() increment and
-decrement this reference count, respectively. mpol_put() will only free
-the structure back to the mempolicy kmem cache when the reference count
-goes to zero.
-
-When a new memory policy is allocated, its reference count is initialized
-to '1', representing the reference held by the task that is installing the
-new policy. When a pointer to a memory policy structure is stored in another
-structure, another reference is added, as the task's reference will be dropped
-on completion of the policy installation.
-
-During run-time "usage" of the policy, we attempt to minimize atomic operations
-on the reference count, as this can lead to cache lines bouncing between cpus
-and NUMA nodes. "Usage" here means one of the following:
-
-1) querying of the policy, either by the task itself [using the get_mempolicy()
- API discussed below] or by another task using the /proc/<pid>/numa_maps
- interface.
-
-2) examination of the policy to determine the policy mode and associated node
- or node lists, if any, for page allocation. This is considered a "hot
- path". Note that for MPOL_BIND, the "usage" extends across the entire
- allocation process, which may sleep during page reclaimation, because the
- BIND policy nodemask is used, by reference, to filter ineligible nodes.
-
-We can avoid taking an extra reference during the usages listed above as
-follows:
-
-1) we never need to get/free the system default policy as this is never
- changed nor freed, once the system is up and running.
-
-2) for querying the policy, we do not need to take an extra reference on the
- target task's task policy nor vma policies because we always acquire the
- task's mm's mmap_sem for read during the query. The set_mempolicy() and
- mbind() APIs [see below] always acquire the mmap_sem for write when
- installing or replacing task or vma policies. Thus, there is no possibility
- of a task or thread freeing a policy while another task or thread is
- querying it.
-
-3) Page allocation usage of task or vma policy occurs in the fault path where
- we hold them mmap_sem for read. Again, because replacing the task or vma
- policy requires that the mmap_sem be held for write, the policy can't be
- freed out from under us while we're using it for page allocation.
-
-4) Shared policies require special consideration. One task can replace a
- shared memory policy while another task, with a distinct mmap_sem, is
- querying or allocating a page based on the policy. To resolve this
- potential race, the shared policy infrastructure adds an extra reference
- to the shared policy during lookup while holding a spin lock on the shared
- policy management structure. This requires that we drop this extra
- reference when we're finished "using" the policy. We must drop the
- extra reference on shared policies in the same query/allocation paths
- used for non-shared policies. For this reason, shared policies are marked
- as such, and the extra reference is dropped "conditionally"--i.e., only
- for shared policies.
-
- Because of this extra reference counting, and because we must lookup
- shared policies in a tree structure under spinlock, shared policies are
- more expensive to use in the page allocation path. This is especially
- true for shared policies on shared memory regions shared by tasks running
- on different NUMA nodes. This extra overhead can be avoided by always
- falling back to task or system default policy for shared memory regions,
- or by prefaulting the entire shared memory region into memory and locking
- it down. However, this might not be appropriate for all applications.
-
-MEMORY POLICY APIs
-
-Linux supports 3 system calls for controlling memory policy. These APIS
-always affect only the calling task, the calling task's address space, or
-some shared object mapped into the calling task's address space.
-
- Note: the headers that define these APIs and the parameter data types
- for user space applications reside in a package that is not part of
- the Linux kernel. The kernel system call interfaces, with the 'sys_'
- prefix, are defined in <linux/syscalls.h>; the mode and flag
- definitions are defined in <linux/mempolicy.h>.
-
-Set [Task] Memory Policy:
-
- long set_mempolicy(int mode, const unsigned long *nmask,
- unsigned long maxnode);
-
- Set's the calling task's "task/process memory policy" to mode
- specified by the 'mode' argument and the set of nodes defined
- by 'nmask'. 'nmask' points to a bit mask of node ids containing
- at least 'maxnode' ids. Optional mode flags may be passed by
- combining the 'mode' argument with the flag (for example:
- MPOL_INTERLEAVE | MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES).
-
- See the set_mempolicy(2) man page for more details
-
-
-Get [Task] Memory Policy or Related Information
-
- long get_mempolicy(int *mode,
- const unsigned long *nmask, unsigned long maxnode,
- void *addr, int flags);
-
- Queries the "task/process memory policy" of the calling task, or
- the policy or location of a specified virtual address, depending
- on the 'flags' argument.
-
- See the get_mempolicy(2) man page for more details
-
-
-Install VMA/Shared Policy for a Range of Task's Address Space
-
- long mbind(void *start, unsigned long len, int mode,
- const unsigned long *nmask, unsigned long maxnode,
- unsigned flags);
-
- mbind() installs the policy specified by (mode, nmask, maxnodes) as
- a VMA policy for the range of the calling task's address space
- specified by the 'start' and 'len' arguments. Additional actions
- may be requested via the 'flags' argument.
-
- See the mbind(2) man page for more details.
-
-MEMORY POLICY COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
-
-Although not strictly part of the Linux implementation of memory policy,
-a command line tool, numactl(8), exists that allows one to:
-
-+ set the task policy for a specified program via set_mempolicy(2), fork(2) and
- exec(2)
-
-+ set the shared policy for a shared memory segment via mbind(2)
-
-The numactl(8) tool is packaged with the run-time version of the library
-containing the memory policy system call wrappers. Some distributions
-package the headers and compile-time libraries in a separate development
-package.
-
-
-MEMORY POLICIES AND CPUSETS
-
-Memory policies work within cpusets as described above. For memory policies
-that require a node or set of nodes, the nodes are restricted to the set of
-nodes whose memories are allowed by the cpuset constraints. If the nodemask
-specified for the policy contains nodes that are not allowed by the cpuset and
-MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES is not used, the intersection of the set of nodes
-specified for the policy and the set of nodes with memory is used. If the
-result is the empty set, the policy is considered invalid and cannot be
-installed. If MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES is used, the policy's nodes are mapped
-onto and folded into the task's set of allowed nodes as previously described.
-
-The interaction of memory policies and cpusets can be problematic when tasks
-in two cpusets share access to a memory region, such as shared memory segments
-created by shmget() of mmap() with the MAP_ANONYMOUS and MAP_SHARED flags, and
-any of the tasks install shared policy on the region, only nodes whose
-memories are allowed in both cpusets may be used in the policies. Obtaining
-this information requires "stepping outside" the memory policy APIs to use the
-cpuset information and requires that one know in what cpusets other task might
-be attaching to the shared region. Furthermore, if the cpusets' allowed
-memory sets are disjoint, "local" allocation is the only valid policy.

+ page is LRU or non-lru movable once the page has been isolated. Because
+ LRU pages never can have PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE in page->mapping. It is also
+ good for just peeking to test non-lru movable pages before more expensive
+ checking with lock_page in pfn scanning to select victim.
+
+ For guaranteeing non-lru movable page, VM provides PageMovable function.
+ Unlike __PageMovable, PageMovable functions validates page->mapping and
+ mapping->a_ops->isolate_page under lock_page. The lock_page prevents sudden
+ destroying of page->mapping.
+
+ Driver using __SetPageMovable should clear the flag via __ClearMovablePage
+ under page_lock before the releasing the page.
+
+ * PG_isolated
+
+ To prevent concurrent isolation among several CPUs, VM marks isolated page
+ as PG_isolated under lock_page. So if a CPU encounters PG_isolated non-lru
+ movable page, it can skip it. Driver doesn't need to manipulate the flag
+ because VM will set/clear it automatically. Keep in mind that if driver
+ sees PG_isolated page, it means the page have been isolated by VM so it
+ shouldn't touch page.lru field.
+ PG_isolated is alias with PG_reclaim flag so driver shouldn't use the flag
+ for own purpose.

+.. _slub:
+
+==========================
+Short users guide for SLUB
+==========================
+
+The basic philosophy of SLUB is very different from SLAB. SLAB
+requires rebuilding the kernel to activate debug options for all
+slab caches. SLUB always includes full debugging but it is off by default.
+SLUB can enable debugging only for selected slabs in order to avoid
+an impact on overall system performance which may make a bug more
+difficult to find.
+
+In order to switch debugging on one can add an option ``slub_debug``
+to the kernel command line. That will enable full debugging for
+all slabs.
+
+Typically one would then use the ``slabinfo`` command to get statistical
+data and perform operation on the slabs. By default ``slabinfo`` only lists
+slabs that have data in them. See "slabinfo -h" for more options when
+running the command. ``slabinfo`` can be compiled with
+::
+
+ gcc -o slabinfo tools/vm/slabinfo.c
+
+Some of the modes of operation of ``slabinfo`` require that slub debugging
+be enabled on the command line. F.e. no tracking information will be
+available without debugging on and validation can only partially
+be performed if debugging was not switched on.
+
+Some more sophisticated uses of slub_debug:
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Parameters may be given to ``slub_debug``. If none is specified then full
+debugging is enabled. Format:
+
+slub_debug=<Debug-Options>
+ Enable options for all slabs
+slub_debug=<Debug-Options>,<slab name>
+ Enable options only for select slabs
+
+
+Possible debug options are::
+
+ F Sanity checks on (enables SLAB_DEBUG_CONSISTENCY_CHECKS
+ Sorry SLAB legacy issues)
+ Z Red zoning
+ P Poisoning (object and padding)
+ U User tracking (free and alloc)
+ T Trace (please only use on single slabs)
+ A Toggle failslab filter mark for the cache
+ O Switch debugging off for caches that would have
+ caused higher minimum slab orders
+ - Switch all debugging off (useful if the kernel is
+ configured with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON)
+
+F.e. in order to boot just with sanity checks and red zoning one would specify::
+
+ slub_debug=FZ
+
+Trying to find an issue in the dentry cache? Try::
+
+ slub_debug=,dentry
+
+to only enable debugging on the dentry cache.
+
+Red zoning and tracking may realign the slab. We can just apply sanity checks
+to the dentry cache with::
+
+ slub_debug=F,dentry
+
+Debugging options may require the minimum possible slab order to increase as
+a result of storing the metadata (for example, caches with PAGE_SIZE object
+sizes). This has a higher liklihood of resulting in slab allocation errors
+in low memory situations or if there's high fragmentation of memory. To
+switch off debugging for such caches by default, use::
+
+ slub_debug=O
+
+In case you forgot to enable debugging on the kernel command line: It is
+possible to enable debugging manually when the kernel is up. Look at the
+contents of::
+
+ /sys/kernel/slab/<slab name>/
+
+Look at the writable files. Writing 1 to them will enable the
+corresponding debug option. All options can be set on a slab that does
+not contain objects. If the slab already contains objects then sanity checks
+and tracing may only be enabled. The other options may cause the realignment
+of objects.
+
+Careful with tracing: It may spew out lots of information and never stop if
+used on the wrong slab.
+
+Slab merging
+============
+
+If no debug options are specified then SLUB may merge similar slabs together
+in order to reduce overhead and increase cache hotness of objects.
+``slabinfo -a`` displays which slabs were merged together.
+
+Slab validation
+===============
+
+SLUB can validate all object if the kernel was booted with slub_debug. In
+order to do so you must have the ``slabinfo`` tool. Then you can do
+::
+
+ slabinfo -v
+
+which will test all objects. Output will be generated to the syslog.
+
+This also works in a more limited way if boot was without slab debug.
+In that case ``slabinfo -v`` simply tests all reachable objects. Usually
+these are in the cpu slabs and the partial slabs. Full slabs are not
+tracked by SLUB in a non debug situation.
+
+Getting more performance
+========================
+
+To some degree SLUB's performance is limited by the need to take the
+list_lock once in a while to deal with partial slabs. That overhead is
+governed by the order of the allocation for each slab. The allocations
+can be influenced by kernel parameters:
+
+.. slub_min_objects=x (default 4)
+.. slub_min_order=x (default 0)
+.. slub_max_order=x (default 3 (PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER))
+
+``slub_min_objects``
+ allows to specify how many objects must at least fit into one
+ slab in order for the allocation order to be acceptable. In
+ general slub will be able to perform this number of
+ allocations on a slab without consulting centralized resources
+ (list_lock) where contention may occur.
+
+``slub_min_order``
+ specifies a minim order of slabs. A similar effect like
+ ``slub_min_objects``.
+
+``slub_max_order``
+ specified the order at which ``slub_min_objects`` should no
+ longer be checked. This is useful to avoid SLUB trying to
+ generate super large order pages to fit ``slub_min_objects``
+ of a slab cache with large object sizes into one high order
+ page. Setting command line parameter
+ ``debug_guardpage_minorder=N`` (N > 0), forces setting
+ ``slub_max_order`` to 0, what cause minimum possible order of
+ slabs allocation.

+ =======================
+
+ FIX kmalloc-8: Restoring Redzone 0xc90f6d28-0xc90f6d2b=0xcc
+
+If SLUB encounters a corrupted object (full detection requires the kernel
+to be booted with slub_debug) then the following output will be dumped
+into the syslog:
+
+1. Description of the problem encountered
+
+ This will be a message in the system log starting with::
+
+ ===============================================
+ BUG <slab cache affected>: <What went wrong>
+ -----------------------------------------------
+
+ INFO: <corruption start>-<corruption_end> <more info>
+ INFO: Slab <address> <slab information>
+ INFO: Object <address> <object information>
+ INFO: Allocated in <kernel function> age=<jiffies since alloc> cpu=<allocated by
+ cpu> pid=<pid of the process>
+ INFO: Freed in <kernel function> age=<jiffies since free> cpu=<freed by cpu>
+ pid=<pid of the process>
+
+ (Object allocation / free information is only available if SLAB_STORE_USER is
+ set for the slab. slub_debug sets that option)
+
+2. The object contents if an object was involved.
+
+ Various types of lines can follow the BUG SLUB line:
+
+ Bytes b4 <address> : <bytes>
+ Shows a few bytes before the object where the problem was detected.
+ Can be useful if the corruption does not stop with the start of the
+ object.
+
+ Object <address> : <bytes>
+ The bytes of the object. If the object is inactive then the bytes
+ typically contain poison values. Any non-poison value shows a
+ corruption by a write after free.
+
+ Redzone <address> : <bytes>
+ The Redzone following the object. The Redzone is used to detect
+ writes after the object. All bytes should always have the same
+ value. If there is any deviation then it is due to a write after
+ the object boundary.
+
+ (Redzone information is only available if SLAB_RED_ZONE is set.
+ slub_debug sets that option)
+
+ Padding <address> : <bytes>
+ Unused data to fill up the space in order to get the next object
+ properly aligned. In the debug case we make sure that there are
+ at least 4 bytes of padding. This allows the detection of writes
+ before the object.
+
+3. A stackdump
+
+ The stackdump describes the location where the error was detected. The cause
+ of the corruption is may be more likely found by looking at the function that
+ allocated or freed the object.
+
+4. Report on how the problem was dealt with in order to ensure the continued
+ operation of the system.
+
+ These are messages in the system log beginning with::
+
+ FIX <slab cache affected>: <corrective action taken>
+
+ In the above sample SLUB found that the Redzone of an active object has
+ been overwritten. Here a string of 8 characters was written into a slab that
+ has the length of 8 characters. However, a 8 character string needs a
+ terminating 0. That zero has overwritten the first byte of the Redzone field.
+ After reporting the details of the issue encountered the FIX SLUB message
+ tells us that SLUB has restored the Redzone to its proper value and then
+ system operations continue.
+
+Emergency operations
+====================
+
+Minimal debugging (sanity checks alone) can be enabled by booting with::
+
+ slub_debug=F
+
+This will be generally be enough to enable the resiliency features of slub
+which will keep the system running even if a bad kernel component will
+keep corrupting objects. This may be important for production systems.
+Performance will be impacted by the sanity checks and there will be a
+continual stream of error messages to the syslog but no additional memory
+will be used (unlike full debugging).
+
+No guarantees. The kernel component still needs to be fixed. Performance
+may be optimized further by locating the slab that experiences corruption
+and enabling debugging only for that cache
+
+I.e.::
+
+ slub_debug=F,dentry
+
+If the corruption occurs by writing after the end of the object then it
+may be advisable to enable a Redzone to avoid corrupting the beginning
+of other objects::
+
+ slub_debug=FZ,dentry
+
+Extended slabinfo mode and plotting
+===================================
+
+The ``slabinfo`` tool has a special 'extended' ('-X') mode that includes:
+ - Slabcache Totals
+ - Slabs sorted by size (up to -N <num> slabs, default 1)
+ - Slabs sorted by loss (up to -N <num> slabs, default 1)
+
+Additionally, in this mode ``slabinfo`` does not dynamically scale
+sizes (G/M/K) and reports everything in bytes (this functionality is
+also available to other slabinfo modes via '-B' option) which makes
+reporting more precise and accurate. Moreover, in some sense the `-X'
+mode also simplifies the analysis of slabs' behaviour, because its
+output can be plotted using the ``slabinfo-gnuplot.sh`` script. So it
+pushes the analysis from looking through the numbers (tons of numbers)
+to something easier -- visual analysis.
+
+To generate plots:
+
+a) collect slabinfo extended records, for example::
+
+ while [ 1 ]; do slabinfo -X >> FOO_STATS; sleep 1; done
+
+b) pass stats file(-s) to ``slabinfo-gnuplot.sh`` script::
+
+ slabinfo-gnuplot.sh FOO_STATS [FOO_STATS2 .. FOO_STATSN]
+
+ The ``slabinfo-gnuplot.sh`` script will pre-processes the collected records
+ and generates 3 png files (and 3 pre-processing cache files) per STATS
+ file:
+ - Slabcache Totals: FOO_STATS-totals.png
+ - Slabs sorted by size: FOO_STATS-slabs-by-size.png
+ - Slabs sorted by loss: FOO_STATS-slabs-by-loss.png
+
+Another use case, when ``slabinfo-gnuplot.sh`` can be useful, is when you
+need to compare slabs' behaviour "prior to" and "after" some code
+modification. To help you out there, ``slabinfo-gnuplot.sh`` script
+can 'merge' the `Slabcache Totals` sections from different
+measurements. To visually compare N plots:
+
+a) Collect as many STATS1, STATS2, .. STATSN files as you need::
+
+ while [ 1 ]; do slabinfo -X >> STATS<X>; sleep 1; done
+
+b) Pre-process those STATS files::
+
+ slabinfo-gnuplot.sh STATS1 STATS2 .. STATSN
+
+c) Execute ``slabinfo-gnuplot.sh`` in '-t' mode, passing all of the
+ generated pre-processed \*-totals::
+
+ slabinfo-gnuplot.sh -t STATS1-totals STATS2-totals .. STATSN-totals
+
+ This will produce a single plot (png file).
+
+ Plots, expectedly, can be large so some fluctuations or small spikes
+ can go unnoticed. To deal with that, ``slabinfo-gnuplot.sh`` has two
+ options to 'zoom-in'/'zoom-out':
+
+ a) ``-s %d,%d`` -- overwrites the default image width and heigh
+ b) ``-r %d,%d`` -- specifies a range of samples to use (for example,
+ in ``slabinfo -X >> FOO_STATS; sleep 1;`` case, using a ``-r
+ 40,60`` range will plot only samples collected between 40th and
+ 60th seconds).

-SLUB can enable debugging only for selected slabs in order to avoid

-
-Some of the modes of operation of slabinfo require that slub debugging
-be enabled on the command line. F.e. no tracking information will be
-available without debugging on and validation can only partially
-be performed if debugging was not switched on.
-
-Some more sophisticated uses of slub_debug:
--------------------------------------------
-
-Parameters may be given to slub_debug. If none is specified then full
-debugging is enabled. Format:
-
-slub_debug=<Debug-Options> Enable options for all slabs
-slub_debug=<Debug-Options>,<slab name>
- Enable options only for select slabs
-
-Possible debug options are
- F Sanity checks on (enables SLAB_DEBUG_CONSISTENCY_CHECKS
- Sorry SLAB legacy issues)
- Z Red zoning
- P Poisoning (object and padding)
- U User tracking (free and alloc)
- T Trace (please only use on single slabs)
- A Toggle failslab filter mark for the cache
- O Switch debugging off for caches that would have
- caused higher minimum slab orders
- - Switch all debugging off (useful if the kernel is
- configured with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON)
-
-F.e. in order to boot just with sanity checks and red zoning one would specify:
-
- slub_debug=FZ
-
-Trying to find an issue in the dentry cache? Try
-
- slub_debug=,dentry
-
-to only enable debugging on the dentry cache.
-
-Red zoning and tracking may realign the slab. We can just apply sanity checks
-to the dentry cache with
-
- slub_debug=F,dentry
-
-Debugging options may require the minimum possible slab order to increase as
-a result of storing the metadata (for example, caches with PAGE_SIZE object

-
-Careful with tracing: It may spew out lots of information and never stop if

-
-Slab merging
-------------
-
-If no debug options are specified then SLUB may merge similar slabs together
-in order to reduce overhead and increase cache hotness of objects.
-slabinfo -a displays which slabs were merged together.
-
-Slab validation
----------------
-
-SLUB can validate all object if the kernel was booted with slub_debug. In
-order to do so you must have the slabinfo tool. Then you can do
-
-slabinfo -v
-
-which will test all objects. Output will be generated to the syslog.
-
-This also works in a more limited way if boot was without slab debug.
-In that case slabinfo -v simply tests all reachable objects. Usually
-these are in the cpu slabs and the partial slabs. Full slabs are not
-tracked by SLUB in a non debug situation.
-
-Getting more performance
-------------------------
-
-To some degree SLUB's performance is limited by the need to take the
-list_lock once in a while to deal with partial slabs. That overhead is
-governed by the order of the allocation for each slab. The allocations
-can be influenced by kernel parameters:
-
-slub_min_objects=x (default 4)
-slub_min_order=x (default 0)
-slub_max_order=x (default 3 (PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER))
-
-slub_min_objects allows to specify how many objects must at least fit
-into one slab in order for the allocation order to be acceptable.
-In general slub will be able to perform this number of allocations
-on a slab without consulting centralized resources (list_lock) where
-contention may occur.
-
-slub_min_order specifies a minim order of slabs. A similar effect like
-slub_min_objects.
-
-slub_max_order specified the order at which slub_min_objects should no
-longer be checked. This is useful to avoid SLUB trying to generate
-super large order pages to fit slub_min_objects of a slab cache with
-large object sizes into one high order page. Setting command line
-parameter debug_guardpage_minorder=N (N > 0), forces setting
-slub_max_order to 0, what cause minimum possible order of slabs
-allocation.

-FIX kmalloc-8: Restoring Redzone 0xc90f6d28-0xc90f6d2b=0xcc
-
-If SLUB encounters a corrupted object (full detection requires the kernel
-to be booted with slub_debug) then the following output will be dumped
-into the syslog:
-
-1. Description of the problem encountered
-
-This will be a message in the system log starting with
-
-===============================================
-BUG <slab cache affected>: <What went wrong>
------------------------------------------------
-
-INFO: <corruption start>-<corruption_end> <more info>
-INFO: Slab <address> <slab information>
-INFO: Object <address> <object information>
-INFO: Allocated in <kernel function> age=<jiffies since alloc> cpu=<allocated by
- cpu> pid=<pid of the process>
-INFO: Freed in <kernel function> age=<jiffies since free> cpu=<freed by cpu>
- pid=<pid of the process>
-
-(Object allocation / free information is only available if SLAB_STORE_USER is
-set for the slab. slub_debug sets that option)
-
-2. The object contents if an object was involved.
-
-Various types of lines can follow the BUG SLUB line:
-
-Bytes b4 <address> : <bytes>
- Shows a few bytes before the object where the problem was detected.
- Can be useful if the corruption does not stop with the start of the
- object.
-
-Object <address> : <bytes>
- The bytes of the object. If the object is inactive then the bytes
- typically contain poison values. Any non-poison value shows a
- corruption by a write after free.
-
-Redzone <address> : <bytes>
- The Redzone following the object. The Redzone is used to detect
- writes after the object. All bytes should always have the same
- value. If there is any deviation then it is due to a write after
- the object boundary.
-
- (Redzone information is only available if SLAB_RED_ZONE is set.
- slub_debug sets that option)
-
-Padding <address> : <bytes>
- Unused data to fill up the space in order to get the next object
- properly aligned. In the debug case we make sure that there are
- at least 4 bytes of padding. This allows the detection of writes
- before the object.
-
-3. A stackdump
-
-The stackdump describes the location where the error was detected. The cause
-of the corruption is may be more likely found by looking at the function that
-allocated or freed the object.
-
-4. Report on how the problem was dealt with in order to ensure the continued
-operation of the system.
-
-These are messages in the system log beginning with
-
-FIX <slab cache affected>: <corrective action taken>
-
-In the above sample SLUB found that the Redzone of an active object has
-been overwritten. Here a string of 8 characters was written into a slab that
-has the length of 8 characters. However, a 8 character string needs a
-terminating 0. That zero has overwritten the first byte of the Redzone field.
-After reporting the details of the issue encountered the FIX SLUB message
-tells us that SLUB has restored the Redzone to its proper value and then
-system operations continue.
-
-Emergency operations:
----------------------
-
-Minimal debugging (sanity checks alone) can be enabled by booting with
-
- slub_debug=F
-
-This will be generally be enough to enable the resiliency features of slub
-which will keep the system running even if a bad kernel component will
-keep corrupting objects. This may be important for production systems.
-Performance will be impacted by the sanity checks and there will be a
-continual stream of error messages to the syslog but no additional memory
-will be used (unlike full debugging).
-
-No guarantees. The kernel component still needs to be fixed. Performance
-may be optimized further by locating the slab that experiences corruption
-and enabling debugging only for that cache
-
-I.e.
-
- slub_debug=F,dentry
-
-If the corruption occurs by writing after the end of the object then it
-may be advisable to enable a Redzone to avoid corrupting the beginning
-of other objects.
-
- slub_debug=FZ,dentry
-
-Extended slabinfo mode and plotting
------------------------------------
-
-The slabinfo tool has a special 'extended' ('-X') mode that includes:
- - Slabcache Totals
- - Slabs sorted by size (up to -N <num> slabs, default 1)
- - Slabs sorted by loss (up to -N <num> slabs, default 1)
-
-Additionally, in this mode slabinfo does not dynamically scale sizes (G/M/K)
-and reports everything in bytes (this functionality is also available to
-other slabinfo modes via '-B' option) which makes reporting more precise and
-accurate. Moreover, in some sense the `-X' mode also simplifies the analysis
-of slabs' behaviour, because its output can be plotted using the
-slabinfo-gnuplot.sh script. So it pushes the analysis from looking through
-the numbers (tons of numbers) to something easier -- visual analysis.
-
-To generate plots:
-a) collect slabinfo extended records, for example:
-
- while [ 1 ]; do slabinfo -X >> FOO_STATS; sleep 1; done
-
-b) pass stats file(-s) to slabinfo-gnuplot.sh script:
- slabinfo-gnuplot.sh FOO_STATS [FOO_STATS2 .. FOO_STATSN]
-
-The slabinfo-gnuplot.sh script will pre-processes the collected records
-and generates 3 png files (and 3 pre-processing cache files) per STATS
-file:
- - Slabcache Totals: FOO_STATS-totals.png
- - Slabs sorted by size: FOO_STATS-slabs-by-size.png
- - Slabs sorted by loss: FOO_STATS-slabs-by-loss.png
-
-Another use case, when slabinfo-gnuplot can be useful, is when you need
-to compare slabs' behaviour "prior to" and "after" some code modification.
-To help you out there, slabinfo-gnuplot.sh script can 'merge' the
-`Slabcache Totals` sections from different measurements. To visually
-compare N plots:
-
-a) Collect as many STATS1, STATS2, .. STATSN files as you need
- while [ 1 ]; do slabinfo -X >> STATS<X>; sleep 1; done
-
-b) Pre-process those STATS files
- slabinfo-gnuplot.sh STATS1 STATS2 .. STATSN
-
-c) Execute slabinfo-gnuplot.sh in '-t' mode, passing all of the
-generated pre-processed *-totals
- slabinfo-gnuplot.sh -t STATS1-totals STATS2-totals .. STATSN-totals
-
-This will produce a single plot (png file).
-
-Plots, expectedly, can be large so some fluctuations or small spikes
-can go unnoticed. To deal with that, `slabinfo-gnuplot.sh' has two
-options to 'zoom-in'/'zoom-out':
- a) -s %d,%d overwrites the default image width and heigh
- b) -r %d,%d specifies a range of samples to use (for example,
- in `slabinfo -X >> FOO_STATS; sleep 1;' case, using
- a "-r 40,60" range will plot only samples collected
- between 40th and 60th seconds).

+Transparent Hugepage Support
+============================
+
+This document describes design principles Transparent Hugepage (THP)
+Support and its interaction with other parts of the memory management.
+
+Design principles
+=================
+
+- "graceful fallback": mm components which don't have transparent hugepage
+ knowledge fall back to breaking huge pmd mapping into table of ptes and,
+ if necessary, split a transparent hugepage. Therefore these components
+ can continue working on the regular pages or regular pte mappings.
+
+- if a hugepage allocation fails because of memory fragmentation,
+ regular pages should be gracefully allocated instead and mixed in
+ the same vma without any failure or significant delay and without
+ userland noticing
+
+- if some task quits and more hugepages become available (either
+ immediately in the buddy or through the VM), guest physical memory
+ backed by regular pages should be relocated on hugepages
+ automatically (with khugepaged)
+
+- it doesn't require memory reservation and in turn it uses hugepages
+ whenever possible (the only possible reservation here is kernelcore=
+ to avoid unmovable pages to fragment all the memory but such a tweak
+ is not specific to transparent hugepage support and it's a generic
+ feature that applies to all dynamic high order allocations in the
+ kernel)
+
+get_user_pages and follow_page
+==============================
+
+get_user_pages and follow_page if run on a hugepage, will return the
+head or tail pages as usual (exactly as they would do on
+hugetlbfs). Most gup users will only care about the actual physical
+address of the page and its temporary pinning to release after the I/O
+is complete, so they won't ever notice the fact the page is huge. But
+if any driver is going to mangle over the page structure of the tail
+page (like for checking page->mapping or other bits that are relevant
+for the head page and not the tail page), it should be updated to jump
+to check head page instead. Taking reference on any head/tail page would
+prevent page from being split by anyone.
+
+.. note::
+ these aren't new constraints to the GUP API, and they match the
+ same constrains that applies to hugetlbfs too, so any driver capable
+ of handling GUP on hugetlbfs will also work fine on transparent
+ hugepage backed mappings.
+
+In case you can't handle compound pages if they're returned by
+follow_page, the FOLL_SPLIT bit can be specified as parameter to
+follow_page, so that it will split the hugepages before returning
+them. Migration for example passes FOLL_SPLIT as parameter to
+follow_page because it's not hugepage aware and in fact it can't work
+at all on hugetlbfs (but it instead works fine on transparent
+hugepages thanks to FOLL_SPLIT). migration simply can't deal with
+hugepages being returned (as it's not only checking the pfn of the
+page and pinning it during the copy but it pretends to migrate the
+memory in regular page sizes and with regular pte/pmd mappings).
+
+Graceful fallback
+=================
+
+Code walking pagetables but unaware about huge pmds can simply call
+split_huge_pmd(vma, pmd, addr) where the pmd is the one returned by
+pmd_offset. It's trivial to make the code transparent hugepage aware
+by just grepping for "pmd_offset" and adding split_huge_pmd where
+missing after pmd_offset returns the pmd. Thanks to the graceful
+fallback design, with a one liner change, you can avoid to write
+hundred if not thousand of lines of complex code to make your code
+hugepage aware.
+
+If you're not walking pagetables but you run into a physical hugepage
+but you can't handle it natively in your code, you can split it by
+calling split_huge_page(page). This is what the Linux VM does before
+it tries to swapout the hugepage for example. split_huge_page() can fail
+if the page is pinned and you must handle this correctly.
+
+Example to make mremap.c transparent hugepage aware with a one liner
+change::
+
+ diff --git a/mm/mremap.c b/mm/mremap.c

+
+Locking in hugepage aware code
+==============================
+
+We want as much code as possible hugepage aware, as calling
+split_huge_page() or split_huge_pmd() has a cost.
+
+To make pagetable walks huge pmd aware, all you need to do is to call
+pmd_trans_huge() on the pmd returned by pmd_offset. You must hold the
+mmap_sem in read (or write) mode to be sure an huge pmd cannot be
+created from under you by khugepaged (khugepaged collapse_huge_page
+takes the mmap_sem in write mode in addition to the anon_vma lock). If
+pmd_trans_huge returns false, you just fallback in the old code
+paths. If instead pmd_trans_huge returns true, you have to take the
+page table lock (pmd_lock()) and re-run pmd_trans_huge. Taking the
+page table lock will prevent the huge pmd to be converted into a
+regular pmd from under you (split_huge_pmd can run in parallel to the
+pagetable walk). If the second pmd_trans_huge returns false, you
+should just drop the page table lock and fallback to the old code as
+before. Otherwise you can proceed to process the huge pmd and the
+hugepage natively. Once finished you can drop the page table lock.
+
+Refcounts and transparent huge pages
+====================================
+
+Refcounting on THP is mostly consistent with refcounting on other compound
+pages:
+
+ - get_page()/put_page() and GUP operate in head page's ->_refcount.
+
+ - ->_refcount in tail pages is always zero: get_page_unless_zero() never
+ succeed on tail pages.
+
+ - map/unmap of the pages with PTE entry increment/decrement ->_mapcount
+ on relevant sub-page of the compound page.
+
+ - map/unmap of the whole compound page accounted in compound_mapcount
+ (stored in first tail page). For file huge pages, we also increment
+ ->_mapcount of all sub-pages in order to have race-free detection of
+ last unmap of subpages.
+
+PageDoubleMap() indicates that the page is *possibly* mapped with PTEs.
+
+For anonymous pages PageDoubleMap() also indicates ->_mapcount in all
+subpages is offset up by one. This additional reference is required to
+get race-free detection of unmap of subpages when we have them mapped with
+both PMDs and PTEs.
+
+This is optimization required to lower overhead of per-subpage mapcount
+tracking. The alternative is alter ->_mapcount in all subpages on each
+map/unmap of the whole compound page.
+
+For anonymous pages, we set PG_double_map when a PMD of the page got split
+for the first time, but still have PMD mapping. The additional references
+go away with last compound_mapcount.
+
+File pages get PG_double_map set on first map of the page with PTE and
+goes away when the page gets evicted from page cache.
+
+split_huge_page internally has to distribute the refcounts in the head
+page to the tail pages before clearing all PG_head/tail bits from the page
+structures. It can be done easily for refcounts taken by page table
+entries. But we don't have enough information on how to distribute any
+additional pins (i.e. from get_user_pages). split_huge_page() fails any
+requests to split pinned huge page: it expects page count to be equal to
+sum of mapcount of all sub-pages plus one (split_huge_page caller must
+have reference for head page).
+
+split_huge_page uses migration entries to stabilize page->_refcount and
+page->_mapcount of anonymous pages. File pages just got unmapped.
+
+We safe against physical memory scanners too: the only legitimate way
+scanner can get reference to a page is get_page_unless_zero().
+
+All tail pages have zero ->_refcount until atomic_add(). This prevents the
+scanner from getting a reference to the tail page up to that point. After the
+atomic_add() we don't care about the ->_refcount value. We already known how
+many references should be uncharged from the head page.
+
+For head page get_page_unless_zero() will succeed and we don't mind. It's
+clear where reference should go after split: it will stay on head page.
+
+Note that split_huge_pmd() doesn't have any limitation on refcounting:
+pmd can be split at any point and never fails.
+
+Partial unmap and deferred_split_huge_page()
+============================================
+
+Unmapping part of THP (with munmap() or other way) is not going to free
+memory immediately. Instead, we detect that a subpage of THP is not in use
+in page_remove_rmap() and queue the THP for splitting if memory pressure
+comes. Splitting will free up unused subpages.
+
+Splitting the page right away is not an option due to locking context in
+the place where we can detect partial unmap. It's also might be
+counterproductive since in many cases partial unmap happens during exit(2) if
+a THP crosses a VMA boundary.
+
+Function deferred_split_huge_page() is used to queue page for splitting.
+The splitting itself will happen when we get memory pressure via shrinker
+interface.

-== Objective ==
-
-Performance critical computing applications dealing with large memory
-working sets are already running on top of libhugetlbfs and in turn
-hugetlbfs. Transparent Hugepage Support is an alternative means of
-using huge pages for the backing of virtual memory with huge pages
-that supports the automatic promotion and demotion of page sizes and
-without the shortcomings of hugetlbfs.
-
-Currently it only works for anonymous memory mappings and tmpfs/shmem.
-But in the future it can expand to other filesystems.
-
-The reason applications are running faster is because of two
-factors. The first factor is almost completely irrelevant and it's not
-of significant interest because it'll also have the downside of
-requiring larger clear-page copy-page in page faults which is a
-potentially negative effect. The first factor consists in taking a
-single page fault for each 2M virtual region touched by userland (so
-reducing the enter/exit kernel frequency by a 512 times factor). This
-only matters the first time the memory is accessed for the lifetime of
-a memory mapping. The second long lasting and much more important
-factor will affect all subsequent accesses to the memory for the whole
-runtime of the application. The second factor consist of two
-components: 1) the TLB miss will run faster (especially with
-virtualization using nested pagetables but almost always also on bare
-metal without virtualization) and 2) a single TLB entry will be
-mapping a much larger amount of virtual memory in turn reducing the
-number of TLB misses. With virtualization and nested pagetables the
-TLB can be mapped of larger size only if both KVM and the Linux guest
-are using hugepages but a significant speedup already happens if only
-one of the two is using hugepages just because of the fact the TLB
-miss is going to run faster.
-
-== Design ==
-
-- "graceful fallback": mm components which don't have transparent hugepage
- knowledge fall back to breaking huge pmd mapping into table of ptes and,

-Transparent Hugepage Support maximizes the usefulness of free memory
-if compared to the reservation approach of hugetlbfs by allowing all
-unused memory to be used as cache or other movable (or even unmovable
-entities). It doesn't require reservation to prevent hugepage
-allocation failures to be noticeable from userland. It allows paging

-Applications however can be further optimized to take advantage of
-this feature, like for example they've been optimized before to avoid
-a flood of mmap system calls for every malloc(4k). Optimizing userland
-is by far not mandatory and khugepaged already can take care of long
-lived page allocations even for hugepage unaware applications that
-deals with large amounts of memory.
-
-In certain cases when hugepages are enabled system wide, application
-may end up allocating more memory resources. An application may mmap a
-large region but only touch 1 byte of it, in that case a 2M page might
-be allocated instead of a 4k page for no good. This is why it's
-possible to disable hugepages system-wide and to only have them inside
-MADV_HUGEPAGE madvise regions.
-
-Embedded systems should enable hugepages only inside madvise regions
-to eliminate any risk of wasting any precious byte of memory and to
-only run faster.
-
-Applications that gets a lot of benefit from hugepages and that don't
-risk to lose memory by using hugepages, should use
-madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) on their critical mmapped regions.
-
-== sysfs ==
-
-Transparent Hugepage Support for anonymous memory can be entirely disabled
-(mostly for debugging purposes) or only enabled inside MADV_HUGEPAGE
-regions (to avoid the risk of consuming more memory resources) or enabled
-system wide. This can be achieved with one of:
-
-echo always >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
-echo madvise >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
-echo never >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
-
-It's also possible to limit defrag efforts in the VM to generate
-anonymous hugepages in case they're not immediately free to madvise
-regions or to never try to defrag memory and simply fallback to regular
-pages unless hugepages are immediately available. Clearly if we spend CPU
-time to defrag memory, we would expect to gain even more by the fact we
-use hugepages later instead of regular pages. This isn't always
-guaranteed, but it may be more likely in case the allocation is for a
-MADV_HUGEPAGE region.
-
-echo always >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
-echo defer >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
-echo defer+madvise >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
-echo madvise >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
-echo never >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
-
-"always" means that an application requesting THP will stall on allocation
-failure and directly reclaim pages and compact memory in an effort to
-allocate a THP immediately. This may be desirable for virtual machines
-that benefit heavily from THP use and are willing to delay the VM start
-to utilise them.
-
-"defer" means that an application will wake kswapd in the background
-to reclaim pages and wake kcompactd to compact memory so that THP is
-available in the near future. It's the responsibility of khugepaged
-to then install the THP pages later.
-
-"defer+madvise" will enter direct reclaim and compaction like "always", but
-only for regions that have used madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE); all other regions
-will wake kswapd in the background to reclaim pages and wake kcompactd to
-compact memory so that THP is available in the near future.
-
-"madvise" will enter direct reclaim like "always" but only for regions
-that are have used madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE). This is the default behaviour.
-
-"never" should be self-explanatory.
-
-By default kernel tries to use huge zero page on read page fault to
-anonymous mapping. It's possible to disable huge zero page by writing 0
-or enable it back by writing 1:
-
-echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/use_zero_page
-echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/use_zero_page
-
-Some userspace (such as a test program, or an optimized memory allocation
-library) may want to know the size (in bytes) of a transparent hugepage:
-
-cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hpage_pmd_size
-
-khugepaged will be automatically started when
-transparent_hugepage/enabled is set to "always" or "madvise, and it'll
-be automatically shutdown if it's set to "never".
-
-khugepaged runs usually at low frequency so while one may not want to
-invoke defrag algorithms synchronously during the page faults, it
-should be worth invoking defrag at least in khugepaged. However it's
-also possible to disable defrag in khugepaged by writing 0 or enable
-defrag in khugepaged by writing 1:
-
-echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag
-echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag
-
-You can also control how many pages khugepaged should scan at each
-pass:
-
-/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_to_scan
-
-and how many milliseconds to wait in khugepaged between each pass (you
-can set this to 0 to run khugepaged at 100% utilization of one core):
-
-/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/scan_sleep_millisecs
-
-and how many milliseconds to wait in khugepaged if there's an hugepage
-allocation failure to throttle the next allocation attempt.
-
-/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/alloc_sleep_millisecs
-
-The khugepaged progress can be seen in the number of pages collapsed:
-
-/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_collapsed
-
-for each pass:
-
-/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/full_scans
-
-max_ptes_none specifies how many extra small pages (that are
-not already mapped) can be allocated when collapsing a group
-of small pages into one large page.
-
-/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_none
-
-A higher value leads to use additional memory for programs.
-A lower value leads to gain less thp performance. Value of
-max_ptes_none can waste cpu time very little, you can
-ignore it.
-
-max_ptes_swap specifies how many pages can be brought in from
-swap when collapsing a group of pages into a transparent huge page.
-
-/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_swap
-
-A higher value can cause excessive swap IO and waste
-memory. A lower value can prevent THPs from being
-collapsed, resulting fewer pages being collapsed into
-THPs, and lower memory access performance.
-
-== Boot parameter ==
-
-You can change the sysfs boot time defaults of Transparent Hugepage
-Support by passing the parameter "transparent_hugepage=always" or
-"transparent_hugepage=madvise" or "transparent_hugepage=never"
-(without "") to the kernel command line.
-
-== Hugepages in tmpfs/shmem ==
-
-You can control hugepage allocation policy in tmpfs with mount option
-"huge=". It can have following values:
-
- - "always":
- Attempt to allocate huge pages every time we need a new page;
-
- - "never":
- Do not allocate huge pages;
-
- - "within_size":
- Only allocate huge page if it will be fully within i_size.
- Also respect fadvise()/madvise() hints;
-
- - "advise:
- Only allocate huge pages if requested with fadvise()/madvise();
-
-The default policy is "never".
-
-"mount -o remount,huge= /mountpoint" works fine after mount: remounting
-huge=never will not attempt to break up huge pages at all, just stop more
-from being allocated.
-
-There's also sysfs knob to control hugepage allocation policy for internal
-shmem mount: /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled. The mount
-is used for SysV SHM, memfds, shared anonymous mmaps (of /dev/zero or
-MAP_ANONYMOUS), GPU drivers' DRM objects, Ashmem.
-
-In addition to policies listed above, shmem_enabled allows two further
-values:
-
- - "deny":
- For use in emergencies, to force the huge option off from
- all mounts;
- - "force":
- Force the huge option on for all - very useful for testing;
-
-== Need of application restart ==
-
-The transparent_hugepage/enabled values and tmpfs mount option only affect
-future behavior. So to make them effective you need to restart any
-application that could have been using hugepages. This also applies to the
-regions registered in khugepaged.
-
-== Monitoring usage ==
-
-The number of anonymous transparent huge pages currently used by the
-system is available by reading the AnonHugePages field in /proc/meminfo.
-To identify what applications are using anonymous transparent huge pages,
-it is necessary to read /proc/PID/smaps and count the AnonHugePages fields
-for each mapping.
-
-The number of file transparent huge pages mapped to userspace is available
-by reading ShmemPmdMapped and ShmemHugePages fields in /proc/meminfo.
-To identify what applications are mapping file transparent huge pages, it
-is necessary to read /proc/PID/smaps and count the FileHugeMapped fields
-for each mapping.
-
-Note that reading the smaps file is expensive and reading it
-frequently will incur overhead.
-
-There are a number of counters in /proc/vmstat that may be used to
-monitor how successfully the system is providing huge pages for use.
-
-thp_fault_alloc is incremented every time a huge page is successfully
- allocated to handle a page fault. This applies to both the
- first time a page is faulted and for COW faults.
-
-thp_collapse_alloc is incremented by khugepaged when it has found
- a range of pages to collapse into one huge page and has
- successfully allocated a new huge page to store the data.
-
-thp_fault_fallback is incremented if a page fault fails to allocate
- a huge page and instead falls back to using small pages.
-
-thp_collapse_alloc_failed is incremented if khugepaged found a range
- of pages that should be collapsed into one huge page but failed
- the allocation.
-
-thp_file_alloc is incremented every time a file huge page is successfully
- allocated.
-
-thp_file_mapped is incremented every time a file huge page is mapped into
- user address space.
-
-thp_split_page is incremented every time a huge page is split into base
- pages. This can happen for a variety of reasons but a common
- reason is that a huge page is old and is being reclaimed.
- This action implies splitting all PMD the page mapped with.
-
-thp_split_page_failed is incremented if kernel fails to split huge
- page. This can happen if the page was pinned by somebody.
-
-thp_deferred_split_page is incremented when a huge page is put onto split
- queue. This happens when a huge page is partially unmapped and
- splitting it would free up some memory. Pages on split queue are
- going to be split under memory pressure.
-
-thp_split_pmd is incremented every time a PMD split into table of PTEs.
- This can happen, for instance, when application calls mprotect() or
- munmap() on part of huge page. It doesn't split huge page, only
- page table entry.
-
-thp_zero_page_alloc is incremented every time a huge zero page is
- successfully allocated. It includes allocations which where
- dropped due race with other allocation. Note, it doesn't count
- every map of the huge zero page, only its allocation.
-
-thp_zero_page_alloc_failed is incremented if kernel fails to allocate
- huge zero page and falls back to using small pages.
-
-As the system ages, allocating huge pages may be expensive as the
-system uses memory compaction to copy data around memory to free a
-huge page for use. There are some counters in /proc/vmstat to help
-monitor this overhead.
-
-compact_stall is incremented every time a process stalls to run
- memory compaction so that a huge page is free for use.
-
-compact_success is incremented if the system compacted memory and
- freed a huge page for use.
-
-compact_fail is incremented if the system tries to compact memory
- but failed.
-
-compact_pages_moved is incremented each time a page is moved. If
- this value is increasing rapidly, it implies that the system
- is copying a lot of data to satisfy the huge page allocation.
- It is possible that the cost of copying exceeds any savings
- from reduced TLB misses.
-
-compact_pagemigrate_failed is incremented when the underlying mechanism
- for moving a page failed.
-
-compact_blocks_moved is incremented each time memory compaction examines
- a huge page aligned range of pages.
-
-It is possible to establish how long the stalls were using the function
-tracer to record how long was spent in __alloc_pages_nodemask and
-using the mm_page_alloc tracepoint to identify which allocations were
-for huge pages.
-
-== get_user_pages and follow_page ==
-
-get_user_pages and follow_page if run on a hugepage, will return the
-head or tail pages as usual (exactly as they would do on
-hugetlbfs). Most gup users will only care about the actual physical
-address of the page and its temporary pinning to release after the I/O
-is complete, so they won't ever notice the fact the page is huge. But
-if any driver is going to mangle over the page structure of the tail
-page (like for checking page->mapping or other bits that are relevant
-for the head page and not the tail page), it should be updated to jump
-to check head page instead. Taking reference on any head/tail page would
-prevent page from being split by anyone.
-
-NOTE: these aren't new constraints to the GUP API, and they match the
-same constrains that applies to hugetlbfs too, so any driver capable
-of handling GUP on hugetlbfs will also work fine on transparent
-hugepage backed mappings.
-
-In case you can't handle compound pages if they're returned by
-follow_page, the FOLL_SPLIT bit can be specified as parameter to
-follow_page, so that it will split the hugepages before returning
-them. Migration for example passes FOLL_SPLIT as parameter to
-follow_page because it's not hugepage aware and in fact it can't work
-at all on hugetlbfs (but it instead works fine on transparent
-hugepages thanks to FOLL_SPLIT). migration simply can't deal with
-hugepages being returned (as it's not only checking the pfn of the
-page and pinning it during the copy but it pretends to migrate the
-memory in regular page sizes and with regular pte/pmd mappings).
-
-== Optimizing the applications ==
-
-To be guaranteed that the kernel will map a 2M page immediately in any
-memory region, the mmap region has to be hugepage naturally
-aligned. posix_memalign() can provide that guarantee.
-
-== Hugetlbfs ==
-
-You can use hugetlbfs on a kernel that has transparent hugepage
-support enabled just fine as always. No difference can be noted in
-hugetlbfs other than there will be less overall fragmentation. All
-usual features belonging to hugetlbfs are preserved and
-unaffected. libhugetlbfs will also work fine as usual.
-
-== Graceful fallback ==
-
-Code walking pagetables but unaware about huge pmds can simply call
-split_huge_pmd(vma, pmd, addr) where the pmd is the one returned by
-pmd_offset. It's trivial to make the code transparent hugepage aware
-by just grepping for "pmd_offset" and adding split_huge_pmd where
-missing after pmd_offset returns the pmd. Thanks to the graceful
-fallback design, with a one liner change, you can avoid to write
-hundred if not thousand of lines of complex code to make your code
-hugepage aware.
-
-If you're not walking pagetables but you run into a physical hugepage
-but you can't handle it natively in your code, you can split it by
-calling split_huge_page(page). This is what the Linux VM does before
-it tries to swapout the hugepage for example. split_huge_page() can fail
-if the page is pinned and you must handle this correctly.
-
-Example to make mremap.c transparent hugepage aware with a one liner
-change:
-
-diff --git a/mm/mremap.c b/mm/mremap.c
---- a/mm/mremap.c
-+++ b/mm/mremap.c
-@@ -41,6 +41,7 @@ static pmd_t *get_old_pmd(struct mm_stru
- return NULL;
-
- pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr);
-+ split_huge_pmd(vma, pmd, addr);
- if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd))
- return NULL;
-
-== Locking in hugepage aware code ==
-
-We want as much code as possible hugepage aware, as calling
-split_huge_page() or split_huge_pmd() has a cost.
-
-To make pagetable walks huge pmd aware, all you need to do is to call
-pmd_trans_huge() on the pmd returned by pmd_offset. You must hold the
-mmap_sem in read (or write) mode to be sure an huge pmd cannot be
-created from under you by khugepaged (khugepaged collapse_huge_page
-takes the mmap_sem in write mode in addition to the anon_vma lock). If
-pmd_trans_huge returns false, you just fallback in the old code
-paths. If instead pmd_trans_huge returns true, you have to take the
-page table lock (pmd_lock()) and re-run pmd_trans_huge. Taking the
-page table lock will prevent the huge pmd to be converted into a
-regular pmd from under you (split_huge_pmd can run in parallel to the
-pagetable walk). If the second pmd_trans_huge returns false, you
-should just drop the page table lock and fallback to the old code as
-before. Otherwise you can proceed to process the huge pmd and the
-hugepage natively. Once finished you can drop the page table lock.
-
-== Refcounts and transparent huge pages ==
-
-Refcounting on THP is mostly consistent with refcounting on other compound
-pages:
-
- - get_page()/put_page() and GUP operate in head page's ->_refcount.
-
- - ->_refcount in tail pages is always zero: get_page_unless_zero() never
- succeed on tail pages.
-
- - map/unmap of the pages with PTE entry increment/decrement ->_mapcount
- on relevant sub-page of the compound page.
-
- - map/unmap of the whole compound page accounted in compound_mapcount
- (stored in first tail page). For file huge pages, we also increment
- ->_mapcount of all sub-pages in order to have race-free detection of
- last unmap of subpages.
-
-PageDoubleMap() indicates that the page is *possibly* mapped with PTEs.
-
-For anonymous pages PageDoubleMap() also indicates ->_mapcount in all
-subpages is offset up by one. This additional reference is required to
-get race-free detection of unmap of subpages when we have them mapped with
-both PMDs and PTEs.
-
-This is optimization required to lower overhead of per-subpage mapcount
-tracking. The alternative is alter ->_mapcount in all subpages on each
-map/unmap of the whole compound page.
-
-For anonymous pages, we set PG_double_map when a PMD of the page got split
-for the first time, but still have PMD mapping. The additional references
-go away with last compound_mapcount.
-
-File pages get PG_double_map set on first map of the page with PTE and
-goes away when the page gets evicted from page cache.
-
-split_huge_page internally has to distribute the refcounts in the head
-page to the tail pages before clearing all PG_head/tail bits from the page
-structures. It can be done easily for refcounts taken by page table
-entries. But we don't have enough information on how to distribute any
-additional pins (i.e. from get_user_pages). split_huge_page() fails any
-requests to split pinned huge page: it expects page count to be equal to
-sum of mapcount of all sub-pages plus one (split_huge_page caller must
-have reference for head page).
-
-split_huge_page uses migration entries to stabilize page->_refcount and
-page->_mapcount of anonymous pages. File pages just got unmapped.
-
-We safe against physical memory scanners too: the only legitimate way
-scanner can get reference to a page is get_page_unless_zero().
-
-All tail pages have zero ->_refcount until atomic_add(). This prevents the
-scanner from getting a reference to the tail page up to that point. After the
-atomic_add() we don't care about the ->_refcount value. We already known how
-many references should be uncharged from the head page.
-
-For head page get_page_unless_zero() will succeed and we don't mind. It's
-clear where reference should go after split: it will stay on head page.
-
-Note that split_huge_pmd() doesn't have any limitation on refcounting:
-pmd can be split at any point and never fails.
-
-== Partial unmap and deferred_split_huge_page() ==
-
-Unmapping part of THP (with munmap() or other way) is not going to free
-memory immediately. Instead, we detect that a subpage of THP is not in use
-in page_remove_rmap() and queue the THP for splitting if memory pressure
-comes. Splitting will free up unused subpages.
-
-Splitting the page right away is not an option due to locking context in
-the place where we can detect partial unmap. It's also might be
-counterproductive since in many cases partial unmap happens during exit(2) if
-a THP crosses a VMA boundary.
-
-Function deferred_split_huge_page() is used to queue page for splitting.
-The splitting itself will happen when we get memory pressure via shrinker
-interface.

+low bandwidth. The fact that Memory bandwidth allocation(MBA) is a core
+specific mechanism where as memory bandwidth monitoring(MBM) is done at
+the package level may lead to confusion when users try to apply control
+via the MBA and then monitor the bandwidth to see if the controls are
+effective. Below are such scenarios:
+
+1. User may *not* see increase in actual bandwidth when percentage
+ values are increased:
+
+This can occur when aggregate L2 external bandwidth is more than L3
+external bandwidth. Consider an SKL SKU with 24 cores on a package and
+where L2 external is 10GBps (hence aggregate L2 external bandwidth is
+240GBps) and L3 external bandwidth is 100GBps. Now a workload with '20
+threads, having 50% bandwidth, each consuming 5GBps' consumes the max L3
+bandwidth of 100GBps although the percentage value specified is only 50%
+<< 100%. Hence increasing the bandwidth percentage will not yeild any
+more bandwidth. This is because although the L2 external bandwidth still
+has capacity, the L3 external bandwidth is fully used. Also note that
+this would be dependent on number of cores the benchmark is run on.
+
+2. Same bandwidth percentage may mean different actual bandwidth
+ depending on # of threads:
+
+For the same SKU in #1, a 'single thread, with 10% bandwidth' and '4
+thread, with 10% bandwidth' can consume upto 10GBps and 40GBps although
+they have same percentage bandwidth of 10%. This is simply because as
+threads start using more cores in an rdtgroup, the actual bandwidth may
+increase or vary although user specified bandwidth percentage is same.
+
+In order to mitigate this and make the interface more user friendly,
+resctrl added support for specifying the bandwidth in MBps as well. The
+kernel underneath would use a software feedback mechanism or a "Software
+Controller(mba_sc)" which reads the actual bandwidth using MBM counters
+and adjust the memowy bandwidth percentages to ensure
+
+ "actual bandwidth < user specified bandwidth".

+By default, the schemata would take the bandwidth percentage values
