+ APEI Error INJection
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+EINJ provides a hardware error injection mechanism
+It is very useful for debugging and testing of other APEI and RAS features.
+
+To use EINJ, make sure the following are enabled in your kernel
+configuration:
+
+CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
+CONFIG_ACPI_APEI
+CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_EINJ
+
+The user interface of EINJ is debug file system, under the
+directory apei/einj. The following files are provided.
+
+- available_error_type
+ Reading this file returns the error injection capability of the
+ platform, that is, which error types are supported. The error type
+ definition is as follow, the left field is the error type value, the
+ right field is error description.
+
+ 0x00000001 Processor Correctable
+ 0x00000002 Processor Uncorrectable non-fatal
+ 0x00000004 Processor Uncorrectable fatal
+ 0x00000008 Memory Correctable
+ 0x00000010 Memory Uncorrectable non-fatal

+ 0x00000200 Platform Correctable
+ 0x00000400 Platform Uncorrectable non-fatal
+ 0x00000800 Platform Uncorrectable fatal
+
+ The format of file contents are as above, except there are only the
+ available error type lines.
+
+- error_type
+ This file is used to set the error type value. The error type value
+ is defined in "available_error_type" description.
+
+- error_inject
+ Write any integer to this file to trigger the error
+ injection. Before this, please specify all necessary error
+ parameters.
+
+- param1
+ This file is used to set the first error parameter value. Effect of
+ parameter depends on error_type specified. For memory error, this is
+ physical memory address.
+
+- param2
+ This file is used to set the second error parameter value. Effect of
+ parameter depends on error_type specified. For memory error, this is
+ physical memory address mask.
+
+For more information about EINJ, please refer to ACPI specification
+version 4.0, section 17.5.

+
+GPIOLIB conversion
+------------------
+
+If you need to convert your board or driver to use gpiolib from the exiting
+s3c2410 api, then here are some notes on the process.
+
+1) If your board is exclusively using an GPIO, say to control peripheral
+ power, then it will require to claim the gpio with gpio_request() before
+ it can use it.
+
+ It is recommended to check the return value, with at least WARN_ON()
+ during initialisation.
+
+2) The s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin() can be directly replaced with s3c_gpio_cfgpin()
+ as they have the same arguments, and can either take the pin specific
+ values, or the more generic special-function-number arguments.
+
+3) s3c2410_gpio_pullup() changs have the problem that whilst the
+ s3c2410_gpio_pullup(x, 1) can be easily translated to the
+ s3c_gpio_setpull(x, S3C_GPIO_PULL_NONE), the s3c2410_gpio_pullup(x, 0)
+ are not so easy.
+
+ The s3c2410_gpio_pullup(x, 0) case enables the pull-up (or in the case
+ of some of the devices, a pull-down) and as such the new API distinguishes
+ between the UP and DOWN case. There is currently no 'just turn on' setting
+ which may be required if this becomes a problem.
+
+4) s3c2410_gpio_setpin() can be replaced by gpio_set_value(), the old call
+ does not implicitly configure the relevant gpio to output. The gpio
+ direction should be changed before using gpio_set_value().
+
+5) s3c2410_gpio_getpin() is replaceable by gpio_get_value() if the pin
+ has been set to input. It is currently unknown what the behaviour is
+ when using gpio_get_value() on an output pin (s3c2410_gpio_getpin
+ would return the value the pin is supposed to be outputting).
+
+6) s3c2410_gpio_getirq() should be directly replacable with the
+ gpio_to_irq() call.
+
+The s3c2410_gpio and gpio_ calls have always operated on the same gpio
+numberspace, so there is no problem with converting the gpio numbering
+between the calls.

+Introduction
+------------
+
+This outlines the Samsung GPIO implementation and the architecture
+specfic calls provided alongisde the drivers/gpio core.
+
+
+S3C24XX (Legacy)
+----------------
+
+See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/GPIO.txt for more information
+about these devices. Their implementation is being brought into line
+with the core samsung implementation described in this document.
+
+
+GPIOLIB integration
+-------------------
+
+The gpio implementation uses gpiolib as much as possible, only providing
+specific calls for the items that require Samsung specific handling, such
+as pin special-function or pull resistor control.
+
+GPIO numbering is synchronised between the Samsung and gpiolib system.
+
+
+PIN configuration
+-----------------
+
+Pin configuration is specific to the Samsung architecutre, with each SoC
+registering the necessary information for the core gpio configuration
+implementation to configure pins as necessary.
+
+The s3c_gpio_cfgpin() and s3c_gpio_setpull() provide the means for a
+driver or machine to change gpio configuration.
+
+See arch/arm/plat-samsung/include/plat/gpio-cfg.h for more information
+on these functions.
