Since transactions can't be nested/batched -across differing journals, and another filesystem other than -yours (say ext4) may be modified in a later syscall. -</para> - -<para> -The second case to bear in mind is that jbd2_journal_start() can -block if there isn't enough space in the journal for your transaction -(based on the passed nblocks param) - when it blocks it merely(!) needs to -wait for transactions to complete and be committed from other tasks, -so essentially we are waiting for jbd2_journal_stop(). So to avoid -deadlocks you must treat jbd2_journal_start/stop() as if they -were semaphores and include them in your semaphore ordering rules to prevent -deadlocks. Note that jbd2_journal_extend() has similar blocking behaviour to -jbd2_journal_start() so you can deadlock here just as easily as on -jbd2_journal_start(). -</para> - -<para> -Try to reserve the right number of blocks the first time. ;-). This will -be the maximum number of blocks you are going to touch in this transaction. -I advise having a look at at least ext4_jbd.h to see the basis on which -ext4 uses to make these decisions. -</para> - -<para> -Another wriggle to watch out for is your on-disk block allocation strategy. -Why? Because, if you do a delete, you need to ensure you haven't reused any -of the freed blocks until the transaction freeing these blocks commits. If you -reused these blocks and crash happens, there is no way to restore the contents -of the reallocated blocks at the end of the last fully committed transaction. - -One simple way of doing this is to mark blocks as free in internal in-memory -block allocation structures only after the transaction freeing them commits. -Ext4 uses journal commit callback for this purpose. -</para> - -<para> -With journal commit callbacks you can ask the journalling layer to call a -callback function when the transaction is finally committed to disk, so that -you can do some of your own management. You ask the journalling layer for -calling the callback by simply setting journal->j_commit_callback function -pointer and that function is called after each transaction commit. You can also -use transaction->t_private_list for attaching entries to a transaction that -need processing when the transaction commits. -</para> - -<para> -JBD2 also provides a way to block all transaction updates via -jbd2_journal_{un,}lock_updates().

Spinlocks are - very small and fast, and can be used anywhere. - </para> - <para> - The second type is a mutex - (<filename class="headerfile">include/linux/mutex.h</filename>): it - is like a spinlock, but you may block holding a mutex. - If you can't lock a mutex, your task will suspend itself, and be woken - up when the mutex is released. This means the CPU can do something - else while you are waiting. There are many cases when you simply - can't sleep (see <xref linkend="sleeping-things"/>), and so have to - use a spinlock instead. - </para> - <para> - Neither type of lock is recursive: see - <xref linkend="deadlock"/>. - </para> - </sect1> - - <sect1 id="uniprocessor"> - <title>Locks and Uniprocessor Kernels</title> - - <para> - For kernels compiled without <symbol>CONFIG_SMP</symbol>, and - without <symbol>CONFIG_PREEMPT</symbol> spinlocks do not exist at - all. This is an excellent design decision: when no-one else can - run at the same time, there is no reason to have a lock. - </para> - - <para> - If the kernel is compiled without <symbol>CONFIG_SMP</symbol>, - but <symbol>CONFIG_PREEMPT</symbol> is set, then spinlocks - simply disable preemption, which is sufficient to prevent any - races. For most purposes, we can think of preemption as - equivalent to SMP, and not worry about it separately. - </para> - - <para> - You should always test your locking code with <symbol>CONFIG_SMP</symbol> - and <symbol>CONFIG_PREEMPT</symbol> enabled, even if you don't have an SMP test box, because it - will still catch some kinds of locking bugs. - </para> - - <para> - Mutexes still exist, because they are required for - synchronization between <firstterm linkend="gloss-usercontext">user - contexts</firstterm>, as we will see below. - </para> - </sect1> - - <sect1 id="usercontextlocking"> - <title>Locking Only In User Context</title> - - <para> - If you have a data structure which is only ever accessed from - user context, then you can use a simple mutex - (<filename>include/linux/mutex.h</filename>) to protect it. This - is the most trivial case: you initialize the mutex. Then you can - call <function>mutex_lock_interruptible()</function> to grab the mutex, - and <function>mutex_unlock()</function> to release it.

First is concurrency: how many things -are going to be waiting while someone else is holding a lock.

I'm assuming that the lock is -used fairly often: otherwise, you wouldn't be concerned about -efficiency. -</para> - <para> -Concurrency depends on how long the lock is usually held: you should -hold the lock for as long as needed, but no longer. In the cache -example, we always create the object without the lock held, and then -grab the lock only when we are ready to insert it in the list. -</para> - <para> -Acquisition times depend on how much damage the lock operations do to -the pipeline (pipeline stalls) and how likely it is that this CPU was -the last one to grab the lock (ie. is the lock cache-hot for this -CPU): on a machine with more CPUs, this likelihood drops fast. -Consider a 700MHz Intel Pentium III: an instruction takes about 0.7ns, -an atomic increment takes about 58ns, a lock which is cache-hot on -this CPU takes 160ns, and a cacheline transfer from another CPU takes -an additional 170 to 360ns. (These figures from Paul McKenney's -<ulink url="http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6993"> Linux -Journal RCU article</ulink>). -</para> - <para> -These two aims conflict: holding a lock for a short time might be done -by splitting locks into parts (such as in our final per-object-lock -example), but this increases the number of lock acquisitions, and the -results are often slower than having a single lock.

If - you are only reading the data, you can get a read lock, but to write to - the data you need the write lock. Many people can hold a read lock, - but a writer must be sole holder. - </para> - - <para> - If your code divides neatly along reader/writer lines (as our - cache code does), and the lock is held by readers for - significant lengths of time, using these locks can help. They - are slightly slower than the normal locks though, so in practice - <type>rwlock_t</type> is not usually worthwhile. - </para> - </sect1> - - <sect1 id="efficiency-read-copy-update"> - <title>Avoiding Locks: Read Copy Update</title> - - <para> - There is a special method of read/write locking called Read Copy - Update. Using RCU, the readers can avoid taking a lock - altogether: as we expect our cache to be read more often than - updated (otherwise the cache is a waste of time), it is a - candidate for this optimization. - </para> - - <para> - How do we get rid of read locks? Getting rid of read locks - means that writers may be changing the list underneath the - readers. That is actually quite simple: we can read a linked - list while an element is being added if the writer adds the - element very carefully. For example, adding - <symbol>new</symbol> to a single linked list called - <symbol>list</symbol>: - </para> - - <programlisting> - new->next = list->next; - wmb(); - list->next = new; - </programlisting> - - <para> - The <function>wmb()</function> is a write memory barrier. It - ensures that the first operation (setting the new element's - <symbol>next</symbol> pointer) is complete and will be seen by - all CPUs, before the second operation is (putting the new - element into the list). This is important, since modern - compilers and modern CPUs can both reorder instructions unless - told otherwise: we want a reader to either not see the new - element at all, or see the new element with the - <symbol>next</symbol> pointer correctly pointing at the rest of - the list. - </para> - <para> - Fortunately, there is a function to do this for standard - <structname>struct list_head</structname> lists: - <function>list_add_rcu()</function> - (<filename>include/linux/list.h</filename>). - </para> - <para> - Removing an element from the list is even simpler: we replace - the pointer to the old element with a pointer to its successor, - and readers will either see it, or skip over it. - </para> - <programlisting> - list->next = old->next; - </programlisting> - <para> - There is <function>list_del_rcu()</function> - (<filename>include/linux/list.h</filename>) which does this (the - normal version poisons the old object, which we don't want). - </para> - <para> - The reader must also be careful: some CPUs can look through the - <symbol>next</symbol> pointer to start reading the contents of - the next element early, but don't realize that the pre-fetched - contents is wrong when the <symbol>next</symbol> pointer changes - underneath them. Once again, there is a - <function>list_for_each_entry_rcu()</function> - (<filename>include/linux/list.h</filename>) to help you. Of - course, writers can just use - <function>list_for_each_entry()</function>, since there cannot - be two simultaneous writers. - </para> - <para> - Our final dilemma is this: when can we actually destroy the - removed element? Remember, a reader might be stepping through - this element in the list right now: if we free this element and - the <symbol>next</symbol> pointer changes, the reader will jump - off into garbage and crash. We need to wait until we know that - all the readers who were traversing the list when we deleted the - element are finished. We use <function>call_rcu()</function> to - register a callback which will actually destroy the object once - all pre-existing readers are finished. Alternatively, - <function>synchronize_rcu()</function> may be used to block until - all pre-existing are finished. - </para> - <para> - But how does Read Copy Update know when the readers are - finished? The method is this: firstly, the readers always - traverse the list inside - <function>rcu_read_lock()</function>/<function>rcu_read_unlock()</function> - pairs: these simply disable preemption so the reader won't go to - sleep while reading the list. - </para> - <para> - RCU then waits until every other CPU has slept at least once: - since readers cannot sleep, we know that any readers which were - traversing the list during the deletion are finished, and the - callback is triggered. The real Read Copy Update code is a - little more optimized than this, but this is the fundamental - idea. - </para> - -<programlisting> ---- cache.c.perobjectlock 2003-12-11 17:15:03.000000000 +1100 -+++ cache.c.rcupdate 2003-12-11 17:55:14.000000000 +1100 -@@ -1,15 +1,18 @@ - #include <linux/list.h> - #include <linux/slab.h> - #include <linux/string.h> -+#include <linux/rcupdate.h> - #include <linux/mutex.h> - #include <asm/errno.h> - - struct object - { -- /* These two protected by cache_lock. */ -+ /* This is protected by RCU */ - struct list_head list; - int popularity; - -+ struct rcu_head rcu; -+ - atomic_t refcnt; - - /* Doesn't change once created. */ -@@ -40,7 +43,7 @@ - { - struct object *i; - -- list_for_each_entry(i, &cache, list) { -+ list_for_each_entry_rcu(i, &cache, list) { - if (i->id == id) { - i->popularity++; - return i; -@@ -49,19 +52,25 @@ - return NULL; - } - -+/* Final discard done once we know no readers are looking. */ -+static void cache_delete_rcu(void *arg) -+{ -+ object_put(arg); -+} -+ - /* Must be holding cache_lock */ - static void __cache_delete(struct object *obj) - { - BUG_ON(!obj); -- list_del(&obj->list); -- object_put(obj); -+ list_del_rcu(&obj->list); - cache_num--; -+ call_rcu(&obj->rcu, cache_delete_rcu); - } - - /* Must be holding cache_lock */ - static void __cache_add(struct object *obj) - { -- list_add(&obj->list, &cache); -+ list_add_rcu(&obj->list, &cache); - if (++cache_num > MAX_CACHE_SIZE) { - struct object *i, *outcast = NULL; - list_for_each_entry(i, &cache, list) { -@@ -104,12 +114,11 @@ - struct object *cache_find(int id) - { - struct object *obj; -- unsigned long flags; - -- spin_lock_irqsave(&cache_lock, flags); -+ rcu_read_lock(); - obj = __cache_find(id); - if (obj) - object_get(obj); -- spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cache_lock, flags); -+ rcu_read_unlock(); - return obj; - } -</programlisting> - -<para> -Note that the reader will alter the -<structfield>popularity</structfield> member in -<function>__cache_find()</function>, and now it doesn't hold a lock. -One solution would be to make it an <type>atomic_t</type>, but for -this usage, we don't really care about races: an approximate result is -good enough, so I didn't change it. -</para> - -<para> -The result is that <function>cache_find()</function> requires no -synchronization with any other functions, so is almost as fast on SMP -as it would be on UP. -</para> - -<para> -There is a further optimization possible here: remember our original -cache code, where there were no reference counts and the caller simply -held the lock whenever using the object?

It is possible to use either - of the debugger front ends and dynamically transition between them - if you configure the kernel properly at compile and runtime. - </para> - <para> - Kdb is simplistic shell-style interface which you can use on a - system console with a keyboard or serial console. You can use it - to inspect memory, registers, process lists, dmesg, and even set - breakpoints to stop in a certain location. Kdb is not a source - level debugger, although you can set breakpoints and execute some - basic kernel run control. Kdb is mainly aimed at doing some - analysis to aid in development or diagnosing kernel problems. You - can access some symbols by name in kernel built-ins or in kernel - modules if the code was built - with <symbol>CONFIG_KALLSYMS</symbol>. - </para> - <para> - Kgdb is intended to be used as a source level debugger for the - Linux kernel. It is used along with gdb to debug a Linux kernel. - The expectation is that gdb can be used to "break in" to the - kernel to inspect memory, variables and look through call stack - information similar to the way an application developer would use - gdb to debug an application. It is possible to place breakpoints - in kernel code and perform some limited execution stepping. - </para> - <para> - Two machines are required for using kgdb. One of these machines is - a development machine and the other is the target machine. The - kernel to be debugged runs on the target machine. The development - machine runs an instance of gdb against the vmlinux file which - contains the symbols (not a boot image such as bzImage, zImage, - uImage...). In gdb the developer specifies the connection - parameters and connects to kgdb. The type of connection a - developer makes with gdb depends on the availability of kgdb I/O - modules compiled as built-ins or loadable kernel modules in the test - machine's kernel. - </para> - </chapter> - <chapter id="CompilingAKernel"> - <title>Compiling a kernel</title> - <para> - <itemizedlist> - <listitem><para>In order to enable compilation of kdb, you must first enable kgdb.</para></listitem> - <listitem><para>The kgdb test compile options are described in the kgdb test suite chapter.</para></listitem> - </itemizedlist> - </para> - <sect1 id="CompileKGDB"> - <title>Kernel config options for kgdb</title> - <para> - To enable <symbol>CONFIG_KGDB</symbol> you should look under - "Kernel hacking" / "Kernel debugging" and select "KGDB: kernel debugger". - </para> - <para> - While it is not a hard requirement that you have symbols in your - vmlinux file, gdb tends not to be very useful without the symbolic - data, so you will want to turn - on <symbol>CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO</symbol> which is called "Compile the - kernel with debug info" in the config menu. - </para> - <para> - It is advised, but not required, that you turn on the - <symbol>CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER</symbol> kernel option which is called "Compile the - kernel with frame pointers" in the config menu.

This - option will prevent the use of software breakpoints because it - marks certain regions of the kernel's memory space as read-only. - If kgdb supports it for the architecture you are using, you can - use hardware breakpoints if you desire to run with the - CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX option turned on, else you need to turn off - this option. - </para> - <para> - Next you should choose one of more I/O drivers to interconnect - debugging host and debugged target. Early boot debugging requires - a KGDB I/O driver that supports early debugging and the driver - must be built into the kernel directly.

The interrupt handler should be - set to <function>z8530_interrupt</function>. The device id should - be set to the z8530_dev structure pointer. Whether the interrupt can - be shared or not is board dependent, and up to you to initialise. - </para> - <para> - The structure holds two channel structures. - Initialise chanA.ctrlio and chanA.dataio with the address of the - control and data ports. You can or this with Z8530_PORT_SLEEP to - indicate your interface needs the 5uS delay for chip settling done - in software. The PORT_SLEEP option is architecture specific. Other - flags may become available on future platforms, eg for MMIO. - Initialise the chanA.irqs to &z8530_nop to start the chip up - as disabled and discarding interrupt events. This ensures that - stray interrupts will be mopped up and not hang the bus. Set - chanA.dev to point to the device structure itself. The - private and name field you may use as you wish. The private field - is unused by the Z85230 layer. The name is used for error reporting - and it may thus make sense to make it match the network name. - </para> - <para> - Repeat the same operation with the B channel if your chip has - both channels wired to something useful. This isn't always the - case. If it is not wired then the I/O values do not matter, but - you must initialise chanB.dev. - </para> - <para> - If your board has DMA facilities then initialise the txdma and - rxdma fields for the relevant channels. You must also allocate the - ISA DMA channels and do any necessary board level initialisation - to configure them. The low level driver will do the Z8530 and - DMA controller programming but not board specific magic. - </para> - <para> - Having initialised the device you can then call - <function>z8530_init</function>. This will probe the chip and - reset it into a known state. An identification sequence is then - run to identify the chip type. If the checks fail to pass the - function returns a non zero error code. Typically this indicates - that the port given is not valid. After this call the - type field of the z8530_dev structure is initialised to either - Z8530, Z85C30 or Z85230 according to the chip found. - </para> - <para> - Once you have called z8530_init you can also make use of the utility - function <function>z8530_describe</function>. This provides a - consistent reporting format for the Z8530 devices, and allows all - the drivers to provide consistent reporting. - </para> - </chapter> - - <chapter id="Attaching_Network_Interfaces"> - <title>Attaching Network Interfaces</title> - <para> - If you wish to use the network interface facilities of the driver, - then you need to attach a network device to each channel that is - present and in use. In addition to use the generic HDLC - you need to follow some additional plumbing rules. They may seem - complex but a look at the example hostess_sv11 driver should - reassure you. - </para> - <para> - The network device used for each channel should be pointed to by - the netdevice field of each channel. The hdlc-> priv field of the - network device points to your private data - you will need to be - able to find your private data from this. - </para> - <para> - The way most drivers approach this particular problem is to - create a structure holding the Z8530 device definition and - put that into the private field of the network device. The - network device fields of the channels then point back to the - network devices. - </para> - <para> - If you wish to use the generic HDLC then you need to register - the HDLC device. - </para> - <para> - Before you register your network device you will also need to - provide suitable handlers for most of the network device callbacks. - See the network device documentation for more details on this. - </para> - </chapter> - - <chapter id="Configuring_And_Activating_The_Port"> - <title>Configuring And Activating The Port</title> - <para> - The Z85230 driver provides helper functions and tables to load the - port registers on the Z8530 chips. When programming the register - settings for a channel be aware that the documentation recommends - initialisation orders. Strange things happen when these are not - followed. - </para> - <para> - <function>z8530_channel_load</function> takes an array of - pairs of initialisation values in an array of u8 type. The first - value is the Z8530 register number. Add 16 to indicate the alternate - register bank on the later chips. The array is terminated by a 255. - </para> - <para> - The driver provides a pair of public tables. The - z8530_hdlc_kilostream table is for the UK 'Kilostream' service and - also happens to cover most other end host configurations. The - z8530_hdlc_kilostream_85230 table is the same configuration using - the enhancements of the 85230 chip. The configuration loaded is - standard NRZ encoded synchronous data with HDLC bitstuffing. All - of the timing is taken from the other end of the link. - </para> - <para> - When writing your own tables be aware that the driver internally - tracks register values. It may need to reload values. You should - therefore be sure to set registers 1-7, 9-11, 14 and 15 in all - configurations. Where the register settings depend on DMA selection - the driver will update the bits itself when you open or close. - Loading a new table with the interface open is not recommended. - </para> - <para> - There are three standard configurations supported by the core - code. In PIO mode the interface is programmed up to use - interrupt driven PIO. This places high demands on the host processor - to avoid latency. The driver is written to take account of latency - issues but it cannot avoid latencies caused by other drivers, - notably IDE in PIO mode. Because the drivers allocate buffers you - must also prevent MTU changes while the port is open. - </para> - <para> - Once the port is open it will call the rx_function of each channel - whenever a completed packet arrived. This is invoked from - interrupt context and passes you the channel and a network - buffer (struct sk_buff) holding the data. The data includes - the CRC bytes so most users will want to trim the last two - bytes before processing the data. This function is very timing - critical. When you wish to simply discard data the support - code provides the function <function>z8530_null_rx</function> - to discard the data. - </para> - <para> - To active PIO mode sending and receiving the <function> - z8530_sync_open</function> is called. This expects to be passed - the network device and the channel. Typically this is called from - your network device open callback. On a failure a non zero error - status is returned. The <function>z8530_sync_close</function> - function shuts down a PIO channel. This must be done before the - channel is opened again and before the driver shuts down - and unloads. - </para> - <para> - The ideal mode of operation is dual channel DMA mode. Here the - kernel driver will configure the board for DMA in both directions. - The driver also handles ISA DMA issues such as controller - programming and the memory range limit for you. This mode is - activated by calling the <function>z8530_sync_dma_open</function> - function. On failure a non zero error value is returned. - Once this mode is activated it can be shut down by calling the - <function>z8530_sync_dma_close</function>. You must call the close - function matching the open mode you used. - </para> - <para> - The final supported mode uses a single DMA channel to drive the - transmit side. As the Z85C30 has a larger FIFO on the receive - channel this tends to increase the maximum speed a little. - This is activated by calling the <function>z8530_sync_txdma_open - </function>. This returns a non zero error code on failure. The - <function>z8530_sync_txdma_close</function> function closes down - the Z8530 interface from this mode. - </para> - </chapter> - - <chapter id="Network_Layer_Functions"> - <title>Network Layer Functions</title> - <para> - The Z8530 layer provides functions to queue packets for - transmission. The driver internally buffers the frame currently - being transmitted and one further frame (in order to keep back - to back transmission running). Any further buffering is up to - the caller. - </para> - <para> - The function <function>z8530_queue_xmit</function> takes a network - buffer in sk_buff format and queues it for transmission. The - caller must provide the entire packet with the exception of the - bitstuffing and CRC. This is normally done by the caller via - the generic HDLC interface layer. It returns 0 if the buffer has been - queued and non zero values for queue full. If the function accepts - the buffer it becomes property of the Z8530 layer and the caller - should not free it. - </para> - <para> - The function <function>z8530_get_stats</function> returns a pointer - to an internally maintained per interface statistics block.

There will be - no output for CPUs that have never been online, which can be - a good thing in the surprisingly common case where NR_CPUS is - substantially larger than the number of actual CPUs. - -o "c" is the count of grace periods that this CPU believes have - completed. Offlined CPUs and CPUs in dynticks idle mode may lag - quite a ways behind, for example, CPU 4 under "rcu_sched" above, - which has been offline through 16 RCU grace periods. It is not - unusual to see offline CPUs lagging by thousands of grace periods. - Note that although the grace-period number is an unsigned long, - it is printed out as a signed long to allow more human-friendly - representation near boot time. - -o "g" is the count of grace periods that this CPU believes have - started. Again, offlined CPUs and CPUs in dynticks idle mode - may lag behind. If the "c" and "g" values are equal, this CPU - has already reported a quiescent state for the last RCU grace - period that it is aware of, otherwise, the CPU believes that it - owes RCU a quiescent state. - -o "pq" indicates that this CPU has passed through a quiescent state - for the current grace period. It is possible for "pq" to be - "1" and "c" different than "g", which indicates that although - the CPU has passed through a quiescent state, either (1) this - CPU has not yet reported that fact, (2) some other CPU has not - yet reported for this grace period, or (3) both. - -o "qp" indicates that RCU still expects a quiescent state from - this CPU. Offlined CPUs and CPUs in dyntick idle mode might - well have qp=1, which is OK: RCU is still ignoring them. - -o "dt" is the current value of the dyntick counter that is incremented - when entering or leaving idle, either due to a context switch or - due to an interrupt. This number is even if the CPU is in idle - from RCU's viewpoint and odd otherwise. The number after the - first "/" is the interrupt nesting depth when in idle state, - or a large number added to the interrupt-nesting depth when - running a non-idle task. Some architectures do not accurately - count interrupt nesting when running in non-idle kernel context, - which can result in interesting anomalies such as negative - interrupt-nesting levels. The number after the second "/" - is the NMI nesting depth. - -o "df" is the number of times that some other CPU has forced a - quiescent state on behalf of this CPU due to this CPU being in - idle state. - -o "of" is the number of times that some other CPU has forced a - quiescent state on behalf of this CPU due to this CPU being - offline. In a perfect world, this might never happen, but it - turns out that offlining and onlining a CPU can take several grace - periods, and so there is likely to be an extended period of time - when RCU believes that the CPU is online when it really is not. - Please note that erring in the other direction (RCU believing a - CPU is offline when it is really alive and kicking) is a fatal - error, so it makes sense to err conservatively. - -o "ql" is the number of RCU callbacks currently residing on - this CPU. The first number is the number of "lazy" callbacks - that are known to RCU to only be freeing memory, and the number - after the "/" is the total number of callbacks, lazy or not. - These counters count callbacks regardless of what phase of - grace-period processing that they are in (new, waiting for - grace period to start, waiting for grace period to end, ready - to invoke). - -o "qs" gives an indication of the state of the callback queue - with four characters: - - "N" Indicates that there are callbacks queued that are not - ready to be handled by the next grace period, and thus - will be handled by the grace period following the next - one. - - "R" Indicates that there are callbacks queued that are - ready to be handled by the next grace period. - - "W" Indicates that there are callbacks queued that are - waiting on the current grace period. - - "D" Indicates that there are callbacks queued that have - already been handled by a prior grace period, and are - thus waiting to be invoked. Note that callbacks in - the process of being invoked are not counted here. - Callbacks in the process of being invoked are those - that have been removed from the rcu_data structures - queues by rcu_do_batch(), but which have not yet been - invoked. - - If there are no callbacks in a given one of the above states, - the corresponding character is replaced by ".". - -o "b" is the batch limit for this CPU. If more than this number - of RCU callbacks is ready to invoke, then the remainder will - be deferred. - -o "ci" is the number of RCU callbacks that have been invoked for - this CPU. Note that ci+nci+ql is the number of callbacks that have - been registered in absence of CPU-hotplug activity. - -o "nci" is the number of RCU callbacks that have been offloaded from - this CPU. This will always be zero unless the kernel was built - with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y and the "rcu_nocbs=" kernel boot - parameter was specified. - -o "co" is the number of RCU callbacks that have been orphaned due to - this CPU going offline. These orphaned callbacks have been moved - to an arbitrarily chosen online CPU. - -o "ca" is the number of RCU callbacks that have been adopted by this - CPU due to other CPUs going offline.

Failing to do that may render the device (or host) in a +state where it cannot be used properly anymore without special tools! + +Host NVM upgrade on Apple Macs is not supported. + +Once the NVM image has been downloaded, you need to plug in a +Thunderbolt device so that the host controller appears. It does not +matter which device is connected (unless you are upgrading NVM on a +device - then you need to connect that particular device). + +Note OEM-specific method to power the controller up ("force power") may +be available for your system in which case there is no need to plug in a +Thunderbolt device. + +After that we can write the firmware to the non-active parts of the NVM +of the host or device. As an example here is how Intel NUC6i7KYK (Skull +Canyon) Thunderbolt controller NVM is upgraded:: + + # dd if=KYK_TBT_FW_0018.bin of=/sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/0-0/nvm_non_active0/nvmem + +Once the operation completes we can trigger NVM authentication and +upgrade process as follows:: + + # echo 1 > /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/0-0/nvm_authenticate + +If no errors are returned, the host controller shortly disappears.

It is possible to use either of the +debugger front ends and dynamically transition between them if you +configure the kernel properly at compile and runtime. + +Kdb is simplistic shell-style interface which you can use on a system +console with a keyboard or serial console. You can use it to inspect +memory, registers, process lists, dmesg, and even set breakpoints to +stop in a certain location. Kdb is not a source level debugger, although +you can set breakpoints and execute some basic kernel run control. Kdb +is mainly aimed at doing some analysis to aid in development or +diagnosing kernel problems. You can access some symbols by name in +kernel built-ins or in kernel modules if the code was built with +``CONFIG_KALLSYMS``. + +Kgdb is intended to be used as a source level debugger for the Linux +kernel. It is used along with gdb to debug a Linux kernel. The +expectation is that gdb can be used to "break in" to the kernel to +inspect memory, variables and look through call stack information +similar to the way an application developer would use gdb to debug an +application. It is possible to place breakpoints in kernel code and +perform some limited execution stepping. + +Two machines are required for using kgdb. One of these machines is a +development machine and the other is the target machine. The kernel to +be debugged runs on the target machine. The development machine runs an +instance of gdb against the vmlinux file which contains the symbols (not +a boot image such as bzImage, zImage, uImage...). In gdb the developer +specifies the connection parameters and connects to kgdb. The type of +connection a developer makes with gdb depends on the availability of +kgdb I/O modules compiled as built-ins or loadable kernel modules in the +test machine's kernel. + +Compiling a kernel +================== + +- In order to enable compilation of kdb, you must first enable kgdb. + +- The kgdb test compile options are described in the kgdb test suite + chapter. + +Kernel config options for kgdb +------------------------------ + +To enable ``CONFIG_KGDB`` you should look under +:menuselection:`Kernel hacking --> Kernel debugging` and select +:menuselection:`KGDB: kernel debugger`. + +While it is not a hard requirement that you have symbols in your vmlinux +file, gdb tends not to be very useful without the symbolic data, so you +will want to turn on ``CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO`` which is called +:menuselection:`Compile the kernel with debug info` in the config menu. + +It is advised, but not required, that you turn on the +``CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER`` kernel option which is called :menuselection:`Compile +the kernel with frame pointers` in the config menu. This option inserts code +to into the compiled executable which saves the frame information in +registers or on the stack at different points which allows a debugger +such as gdb to more accurately construct stack back traces while +debugging the kernel. + +If the architecture that you are using supports the kernel option +``CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX``, you should consider turning it off. This +option will prevent the use of software breakpoints because it marks +certain regions of the kernel's memory space as read-only. If kgdb +supports it for the architecture you are using, you can use hardware +breakpoints if you desire to run with the ``CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX`` +option turned on, else you need to turn off this option. + +Next you should choose one of more I/O drivers to interconnect debugging +host and debugged target. Early boot debugging requires a KGDB I/O +driver that supports early debugging and the driver must be built into +the kernel directly. Kgdb I/O driver configuration takes place via +kernel or module parameters which you can learn more about in the in the +section that describes the parameter kgdboc. + +Here is an example set of ``.config`` symbols to enable or disable for kgdb:: + + # CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is not set + CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y + CONFIG_KGDB=y + CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y + +Kernel config options for kdb +----------------------------- + +Kdb is quite a bit more complex than the simple gdbstub sitting on top +of the kernel's debug core. Kdb must implement a shell, and also adds +some helper functions in other parts of the kernel, responsible for +printing out interesting data such as what you would see if you ran +``lsmod``, or ``ps``. In order to build kdb into the kernel you follow the +same steps as you would for kgdb. + +The main config option for kdb is ``CONFIG_KGDB_KDB`` which is called +:menuselection:`KGDB_KDB: include kdb frontend for kgdb` in the config menu. +In theory you would have already also selected an I/O driver such as the +``CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE`` interface if you plan on using kdb on a +serial port, when you were configuring kgdb. + +If you want to use a PS/2-style keyboard with kdb, you would select +``CONFIG_KDB_KEYBOARD`` which is called :menuselection:`KGDB_KDB: keyboard as +input device` in the config menu. The ``CONFIG_KDB_KEYBOARD`` option is not +used for anything in the gdb interface to kgdb. The ``CONFIG_KDB_KEYBOARD`` +option only works with kdb. + +Here is an example set of ``.config`` symbols to enable/disable kdb:: + + # CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is not set + CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y + CONFIG_KGDB=y + CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y + CONFIG_KGDB_KDB=y + CONFIG_KDB_KEYBOARD=y + +Kernel Debugger Boot Arguments +============================== + +This section describes the various runtime kernel parameters that affect +the configuration of the kernel debugger. The following chapter covers +using kdb and kgdb as well as providing some examples of the +configuration parameters. + +Kernel parameter: kgdboc +------------------------ + +The kgdboc driver was originally an abbreviation meant to stand for +"kgdb over console". Today it is the primary mechanism to configure how +to communicate from gdb to kgdb as well as the devices you want to use +to interact with the kdb shell. + +For kgdb/gdb, kgdboc is designed to work with a single serial port. It +is intended to cover the circumstance where you want to use a serial +console as your primary console as well as using it to perform kernel +debugging. It is also possible to use kgdb on a serial port which is not +designated as a system console. Kgdboc may be configured as a kernel +built-in or a kernel loadable module. You can only make use of +``kgdbwait`` and early debugging if you build kgdboc into the kernel as +a built-in. + +Optionally you can elect to activate kms (Kernel Mode Setting) +integration. When you use kms with kgdboc and you have a video driver +that has atomic mode setting hooks, it is possible to enter the debugger +on the graphics console. When the kernel execution is resumed, the +previous graphics mode will be restored. This integration can serve as a +useful tool to aid in diagnosing crashes or doing analysis of memory +with kdb while allowing the full graphics console applications to run. + +kgdboc arguments +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Usage:: + + kgdboc=[kms][[,]kbd][[,]serial_device][,baud] + +The order listed above must be observed if you use any of the optional +configurations together. + +Abbreviations: + +- kms = Kernel Mode Setting + +- kbd = Keyboard + +You can configure kgdboc to use the keyboard, and/or a serial device +depending on if you are using kdb and/or kgdb, in one of the following +scenarios. The order listed above must be observed if you use any of the +optional configurations together. Using kms + only gdb is generally not +a useful combination. + +Using loadable module or built-in +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +1. As a kernel built-in: + + Use the kernel boot argument:: + + kgdboc=<tty-device>,[baud] + +2. As a kernel loadable module: + + Use the command:: + + modprobe kgdboc kgdboc=<tty-device>,[baud] + + Here are two examples of how you might format the kgdboc string. The + first is for an x86 target using the first serial port. The second + example is for the ARM Versatile AB using the second serial port. + + 1. ``kgdboc=ttyS0,115200`` + + 2. ``kgdboc=ttyAMA1,115200`` + +Configure kgdboc at runtime with sysfs +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +At run time you can enable or disable kgdboc by echoing a parameters +into the sysfs. Here are two examples: + +1. Enable kgdboc on ttyS0:: + + echo ttyS0 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc + +2. Disable kgdboc:: + + echo "" > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc + +.. note:: + + You do not need to specify the baud if you are configuring the + console on tty which is already configured or open. + +More examples +^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +You can configure kgdboc to use the keyboard, and/or a serial device +depending on if you are using kdb and/or kgdb, in one of the following +scenarios. + +1. kdb and kgdb over only a serial port:: + + kgdboc=<serial_device>[,baud] + + Example:: + + kgdboc=ttyS0,115200 + +2. kdb and kgdb with keyboard and a serial port:: + + kgdboc=kbd,<serial_device>[,baud] + + Example:: + + kgdboc=kbd,ttyS0,115200 + +3. kdb with a keyboard:: + + kgdboc=kbd + +4. kdb with kernel mode setting:: + + kgdboc=kms,kbd + +5. kdb with kernel mode setting and kgdb over a serial port:: + + kgdboc=kms,kbd,ttyS0,115200 + +.. note:: + + Kgdboc does not support interrupting the target via the gdb remote + protocol. You must manually send a :kbd:`SysRq-G` unless you have a proxy + that splits console output to a terminal program. A console proxy has a + separate TCP port for the debugger and a separate TCP port for the + "human" console. The proxy can take care of sending the :kbd:`SysRq-G` + for you. + +When using kgdboc with no debugger proxy, you can end up connecting the +debugger at one of two entry points. If an exception occurs after you +have loaded kgdboc, a message should print on the console stating it is +waiting for the debugger. In this case you disconnect your terminal +program and then connect the debugger in its place. If you want to +interrupt the target system and forcibly enter a debug session you have +to issue a :kbd:`Sysrq` sequence and then type the letter :kbd:`g`. Then you +disconnect the terminal session and connect gdb. Your options if you +don't like this are to hack gdb to send the :kbd:`SysRq-G` for you as well as +on the initial connect, or to use a debugger proxy that allows an +unmodified gdb to do the debugging. + +Kernel parameter: ``kgdbwait`` +------------------------------ + +The Kernel command line option ``kgdbwait`` makes kgdb wait for a +debugger connection during booting of a kernel. You can only use this +option if you compiled a kgdb I/O driver into the kernel and you +specified the I/O driver configuration as a kernel command line option. +The kgdbwait parameter should always follow the configuration parameter +for the kgdb I/O driver in the kernel command line else the I/O driver +will not be configured prior to asking the kernel to use it to wait. + +The kernel will stop and wait as early as the I/O driver and +architecture allows when you use this option. If you build the kgdb I/O +driver as a loadable kernel module kgdbwait will not do anything. + +Kernel parameter: ``kgdbcon`` +----------------------------- + +The ``kgdbcon`` feature allows you to see :c:func:`printk` messages inside gdb +while gdb is connected to the kernel. Kdb does not make use of the kgdbcon +feature. + +Kgdb supports using the gdb serial protocol to send console messages to +the debugger when the debugger is connected and running. There are two +ways to activate this feature. + +1. Activate with the kernel command line option:: + + kgdbcon + +2.

Enter the kernel debugger manually or by waiting for an oops or + fault. There are several ways you can enter the kernel debugger + manually; all involve using the :kbd:`SysRq-G`, which means you must have + enabled ``CONFIG_MAGIC_SysRq=y`` in your kernel config. + + - When logged in as root or with a super user session you can run:: + + echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger + + - Example using minicom 2.2 + + Press: :kbd:`CTRL-A` :kbd:`f` :kbd:`g` + + - When you have telneted to a terminal server that supports sending + a remote break + + Press: :kbd:`CTRL-]` + + Type in: ``send break`` + + Press: :kbd:`Enter` :kbd:`g` + +3. From the kdb prompt you can run the ``help`` command to see a complete + list of the commands that are available. + + Some useful commands in kdb include: + + =========== ================================================================= + ``lsmod`` Shows where kernel modules are loaded + ``ps`` Displays only the active processes + ``ps A`` Shows all the processes + ``summary`` Shows kernel version info and memory usage + ``bt`` Get a backtrace of the current process using :c:func:`dump_stack` + ``dmesg`` View the kernel syslog buffer + ``go`` Continue the system + =========== ================================================================= + +4. When you are done using kdb you need to consider rebooting the system + or using the ``go`` command to resuming normal kernel execution. If you + have paused the kernel for a lengthy period of time, applications + that rely on timely networking or anything to do with real wall clock + time could be adversely affected, so you should take this into + consideration when using the kernel debugger. + +Quick start for kdb using a keyboard connected console +------------------------------------------------------ + +This is a quick example of how to use kdb with a keyboard. + +1.

Enter the kernel debugger manually or by waiting for an oops or + fault. There are several ways you can enter the kernel debugger + manually; all involve using the :kbd:`SysRq-G`, which means you must have + enabled ``CONFIG_MAGIC_SysRq=y`` in your kernel config. + + - When logged in as root or with a super user session you can run:: + + echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger + + - Example using a laptop keyboard: + + Press and hold down: :kbd:`Alt` + + Press and hold down: :kbd:`Fn` + + Press and release the key with the label: :kbd:`SysRq` + + Release: :kbd:`Fn` + + Press and release: :kbd:`g` + + Release: :kbd:`Alt` + + - Example using a PS/2 101-key keyboard + + Press and hold down: :kbd:`Alt` + + Press and release the key with the label: :kbd:`SysRq` + + Press and release: :kbd:`g` + + Release: :kbd:`Alt` + +3. Now type in a kdb command such as ``help``, ``dmesg``, ``bt`` or ``go`` to + continue kernel execution. + +Using kgdb / gdb +================ + +In order to use kgdb you must activate it by passing configuration +information to one of the kgdb I/O drivers. If you do not pass any +configuration information kgdb will not do anything at all. Kgdb will +only actively hook up to the kernel trap hooks if a kgdb I/O driver is +loaded and configured. If you unconfigure a kgdb I/O driver, kgdb will +unregister all the kernel hook points. + +All kgdb I/O drivers can be reconfigured at run time, if +``CONFIG_SYSFS`` and ``CONFIG_MODULES`` are enabled, by echo'ing a new +config string to ``/sys/module/<driver>/parameter/<option>``. The driver +can be unconfigured by passing an empty string. You cannot change the +configuration while the debugger is attached. Make sure to detach the +debugger with the ``detach`` command prior to trying to unconfigure a +kgdb I/O driver. + +Connecting with gdb to a serial port +------------------------------------ + +1. Configure kgdboc + + Configure kgdboc at boot using kernel parameters:: + + kgdboc=ttyS0,115200 + + OR + + Configure kgdboc after the kernel has booted:: + + echo ttyS0 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc + +2. Stop kernel execution (break into the debugger) + + In order to connect to gdb via kgdboc, the kernel must first be + stopped. There are several ways to stop the kernel which include + using kgdbwait as a boot argument, via a :kbd:`SysRq-G`, or running the + kernel until it takes an exception where it waits for the debugger to + attach. + + - When logged in as root or with a super user session you can run:: + + echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger + + - Example using minicom 2.2 + + Press: :kbd:`CTRL-A` :kbd:`f` :kbd:`g` + + - When you have telneted to a terminal server that supports sending + a remote break + + Press: :kbd:`CTRL-]` + + Type in: ``send break`` + + Press: :kbd:`Enter` :kbd:`g` + +3. Connect from gdb + + Example (using a directly connected port):: + + % gdb ./vmlinux + (gdb) set remotebaud 115200 + (gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS0 + + + Example (kgdb to a terminal server on TCP port 2012):: + + % gdb ./vmlinux + (gdb) target remote 192.168.2.2:2012 + + + Once connected, you can debug a kernel the way you would debug an + application program. + + If you are having problems connecting or something is going seriously + wrong while debugging, it will most often be the case that you want + to enable gdb to be verbose about its target communications. You do + this prior to issuing the ``target remote`` command by typing in:: + + set debug remote 1 + +Remember if you continue in gdb, and need to "break in" again, you need +to issue an other :kbd:`SysRq-G`. It is easy to create a simple entry point by +putting a breakpoint at ``sys_sync`` and then you can run ``sync`` from a +shell or script to break into the debugger. + +kgdb and kdb interoperability +============================= + +It is possible to transition between kdb and kgdb dynamically. The debug +core will remember which you used the last time and automatically start +in the same mode. + +Switching between kdb and kgdb +------------------------------ + +Switching from kgdb to kdb +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +There are two ways to switch from kgdb to kdb: you can use gdb to issue +a maintenance packet, or you can blindly type the command ``$3#33``. +Whenever the kernel debugger stops in kgdb mode it will print the +message ``KGDB or $3#33 for KDB``. It is important to note that you have +to type the sequence correctly in one pass. You cannot type a backspace +or delete because kgdb will interpret that as part of the debug stream. + +1. Change from kgdb to kdb by blindly typing:: + + $3#33 + +2. Change from kgdb to kdb with gdb:: + + maintenance packet 3 + + .. note:: + + Now you must kill gdb. Typically you press :kbd:`CTRL-Z` and issue + the command:: + + kill -9 % + +Change from kdb to kgdb +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +There are two ways you can change from kdb to kgdb. You can manually +enter kgdb mode by issuing the kgdb command from the kdb shell prompt, +or you can connect gdb while the kdb shell prompt is active. The kdb +shell looks for the typical first commands that gdb would issue with the +gdb remote protocol and if it sees one of those commands it +automatically changes into kgdb mode. + +1. From kdb issue the command:: + + kgdb + + Now disconnect your terminal program and connect gdb in its place + +2. At the kdb prompt, disconnect the terminal program and connect gdb in + its place. + +Running kdb commands from gdb +----------------------------- + +It is possible to run a limited set of kdb commands from gdb, using the +gdb monitor command. You don't want to execute any of the run control or +breakpoint operations, because it can disrupt the state of the kernel +debugger. You should be using gdb for breakpoints and run control +operations if you have gdb connected. The more useful commands to run +are things like lsmod, dmesg, ps or possibly some of the memory +information commands. To see all the kdb commands you can run +``monitor help``. + +Example:: + + (gdb) monitor ps + 1 idle process (state I) and + 27 sleeping system daemon (state M) processes suppressed, + use 'ps A' to see all. + Task Addr Pid Parent [*] cpu State Thread Command + + 0xc78291d0 1 0 0 0 S 0xc7829404 init + 0xc7954150 942 1 0 0 S 0xc7954384 dropbear + 0xc78789c0 944 1 0 0 S 0xc7878bf4 sh + (gdb) + +kgdb Test Suite +=============== + +When kgdb is enabled in the kernel config you can also elect to enable +the config parameter ``KGDB_TESTS``. Turning this on will enable a special +kgdb I/O module which is designed to test the kgdb internal functions. + +The kgdb tests are mainly intended for developers to test the kgdb +internals as well as a tool for developing a new kgdb architecture +specific implementation. These tests are not really for end users of the +Linux kernel. The primary source of documentation would be to look in +the ``drivers/misc/kgdbts.c`` file. + +The kgdb test suite can also be configured at compile time to run the +core set of tests by setting the kernel config parameter +``KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT``. This particular option is aimed at automated +regression testing and does not require modifying the kernel boot config +arguments. If this is turned on, the kgdb test suite can be disabled by +specifying ``kgdbts=`` as a kernel boot argument. + +Kernel Debugger Internals +========================= + +Architecture Specifics +---------------------- + +The kernel debugger is organized into a number of components: + +1. The debug core + + The debug core is found in ``kernel/debugger/debug_core.c``. It + contains: + + - A generic OS exception handler which includes sync'ing the + processors into a stopped state on an multi-CPU system. + + - The API to talk to the kgdb I/O drivers + + - The API to make calls to the arch-specific kgdb implementation + + - The logic to perform safe memory reads and writes to memory while + using the debugger + + - A full implementation for software breakpoints unless overridden + by the arch + + - The API to invoke either the kdb or kgdb frontend to the debug + core. + + - The structures and callback API for atomic kernel mode setting. + + .. note:: kgdboc is where the kms callbacks are invoked. + +2. kgdb arch-specific implementation + + This implementation is generally found in ``arch/*/kernel/kgdb.c``. As + an example, ``arch/x86/kernel/kgdb.c`` contains the specifics to + implement HW breakpoint as well as the initialization to dynamically + register and unregister for the trap handlers on this architecture. + The arch-specific portion implements: + + - contains an arch-specific trap catcher which invokes + :c:func:`kgdb_handle_exception` to start kgdb about doing its work + + - translation to and from gdb specific packet format to :c:type:`pt_regs` + + - Registration and unregistration of architecture specific trap + hooks + + - Any special exception handling and cleanup + + - NMI exception handling and cleanup + + - (optional) HW breakpoints + +3. gdbstub frontend (aka kgdb) + + The gdbstub is located in ``kernel/debug/gdbstub.c``. It contains: + + - All the logic to implement the gdb serial protocol + +4. kdb frontend + + The kdb debugger shell is broken down into a number of components. + The kdb core is located in kernel/debug/kdb. There are a number of + helper functions in some of the other kernel components to make it + possible for kdb to examine and report information about the kernel + without taking locks that could cause a kernel deadlock. The kdb core + contains implements the following functionality. + + - A simple shell + + - The kdb core command set + + - A registration API to register additional kdb shell commands. + + - A good example of a self-contained kdb module is the ``ftdump`` + command for dumping the ftrace buffer. See: + ``kernel/trace/trace_kdb.c`` + + - For an example of how to dynamically register a new kdb command + you can build the kdb_hello.ko kernel module from + ``samples/kdb/kdb_hello.c``. To build this example you can set + ``CONFIG_SAMPLES=y`` and ``CONFIG_SAMPLE_KDB=m`` in your kernel + config. Later run ``modprobe kdb_hello`` and the next time you + enter the kdb shell, you can run the ``hello`` command. + + - The implementation for :c:func:`kdb_printf` which emits messages directly + to I/O drivers, bypassing the kernel log. + + - SW / HW breakpoint management for the kdb shell + +5. kgdb I/O driver + + Each kgdb I/O driver has to provide an implementation for the + following: + + - configuration via built-in or module + + - dynamic configuration and kgdb hook registration calls + + - read and write character interface + + - A cleanup handler for unconfiguring from the kgdb core + + - (optional) Early debug methodology + + Any given kgdb I/O driver has to operate very closely with the + hardware and must do it in such a way that does not enable interrupts + or change other parts of the system context without completely + restoring them. The kgdb core will repeatedly "poll" a kgdb I/O + driver for characters when it needs input. The I/O driver is expected + to return immediately if there is no data available. Doing so allows + for the future possibility to touch watchdog hardware in such a way + as to have a target system not reset when these are enabled. + +If you are intent on adding kgdb architecture specific support for a new +architecture, the architecture should define ``HAVE_ARCH_KGDB`` in the +architecture specific Kconfig file. This will enable kgdb for the +architecture, and at that point you must create an architecture specific +kgdb implementation. + +There are a few flags which must be set on every architecture in their +``asm/kgdb.h`` file. These are: + +- ``NUMREGBYTES``: + The size in bytes of all of the registers, so that we + can ensure they will all fit into a packet. + +- ``BUFMAX``: + The size in bytes of the buffer GDB will read into. This must + be larger than NUMREGBYTES. + +- ``CACHE_FLUSH_IS_SAFE``: + Set to 1 if it is always safe to call + flush_cache_range or flush_icache_range. On some architectures, + these functions may not be safe to call on SMP since we keep other + CPUs in a holding pattern. + +There are also the following functions for the common backend, found in +``kernel/kgdb.c``, that must be supplied by the architecture-specific +backend unless marked as (optional), in which case a default function +maybe used if the architecture does not need to provide a specific +implementation. + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/kgdb.h + :internal: + +kgdboc internals +---------------- + +kgdboc and uarts +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The kgdboc driver is actually a very thin driver that relies on the +underlying low level to the hardware driver having "polling hooks" to +which the tty driver is attached. In the initial implementation of +kgdboc the serial_core was changed to expose a low level UART hook for +doing polled mode reading and writing of a single character while in an +atomic context. When kgdb makes an I/O request to the debugger, kgdboc +invokes a callback in the serial core which in turn uses the callback in +the UART driver. + +When using kgdboc with a UART, the UART driver must implement two +callbacks in the :c:type:`struct uart_ops <uart_ops>`. +Example from ``drivers/8250.c``:: + + + #ifdef CONFIG_CONSOLE_POLL + .poll_get_char = serial8250_get_poll_char, + .poll_put_char = serial8250_put_poll_char, + #endif + + +Any implementation specifics around creating a polling driver use the +``#ifdef CONFIG_CONSOLE_POLL``, as shown above. Keep in mind that +polling hooks have to be implemented in such a way that they can be +called from an atomic context and have to restore the state of the UART +chip on return such that the system can return to normal when the +debugger detaches. You need to be very careful with any kind of lock you +consider, because failing here is most likely going to mean pressing the +reset button. + +kgdboc and keyboards +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The kgdboc driver contains logic to configure communications with an +attached keyboard. The keyboard infrastructure is only compiled into the +kernel when ``CONFIG_KDB_KEYBOARD=y`` is set in the kernel configuration. + +The core polled keyboard driver driver for PS/2 type keyboards is in +``drivers/char/kdb_keyboard.c``. This driver is hooked into the debug core +when kgdboc populates the callback in the array called +:c:type:`kdb_poll_funcs[]`. The :c:func:`kdb_get_kbd_char` is the top-level +function which polls hardware for single character input. + +kgdboc and kms +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The kgdboc driver contains logic to request the graphics display to +switch to a text context when you are using ``kgdboc=kms,kbd``, provided +that you have a video driver which has a frame buffer console and atomic +kernel mode setting support. + +Every time the kernel debugger is entered it calls +:c:func:`kgdboc_pre_exp_handler` which in turn calls :c:func:`con_debug_enter` +in the virtual console layer. On resuming kernel execution, the kernel +debugger calls :c:func:`kgdboc_post_exp_handler` which in turn calls +:c:func:`con_debug_leave`. + +Any video driver that wants to be compatible with the kernel debugger +and the atomic kms callbacks must implement the ``mode_set_base_atomic``, +``fb_debug_enter`` and ``fb_debug_leave operations``. For the +``fb_debug_enter`` and ``fb_debug_leave`` the option exists to use the +generic drm fb helper functions or implement something custom for the +hardware. The following example shows the initialization of the +.mode_set_base_atomic operation in +drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:: + + + static const struct drm_crtc_helper_funcs intel_helper_funcs = { + [...] + .mode_set_base_atomic = intel_pipe_set_base_atomic, + [...] + }; + + +Here is an example of how the i915 driver initializes the +fb_debug_enter and fb_debug_leave functions to use the generic drm +helpers in ``drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_fb.c``:: + + + static struct fb_ops intelfb_ops = { + [...] + .fb_debug_enter = drm_fb_helper_debug_enter, + .fb_debug_leave = drm_fb_helper_debug_leave, + [...] + }; + + +Credits +======= + +The following people have contributed to this document: + +1.

The conventional +zones of the device may be used also for buffering user random writes. +Data in these zones may be directly mapped to the conventional zone, but +later moved to a sequential zone so that the conventional zone can be +reused for buffering incoming random writes. + +dm-zoned exposes a logical device with a sector size of 4096 bytes, +irrespective of the physical sector size of the backend zoned block +device being used. This allows reducing the amount of metadata needed to +manage valid blocks (blocks written). + +The on-disk metadata format is as follows: + +1) The first block of the first conventional zone found contains the +super block which describes the on disk amount and position of metadata +blocks. + +2) Following the super block, a set of blocks is used to describe the +mapping of the logical device blocks. The mapping is done per chunk of +blocks, with the chunk size equal to the zoned block device size. The +mapping table is indexed by chunk number and each mapping entry +indicates the zone number of the device storing the chunk of data. Each +mapping entry may also indicate if the zone number of a conventional +zone used to buffer random modification to the data zone. + +3) A set of blocks used to store bitmaps indicating the validity of +blocks in the data zones follows the mapping table. A valid block is +defined as a block that was written and not discarded. For a buffered +data chunk, a block is always valid only in the data zone mapping the +chunk or in the buffer zone of the chunk. + +For a logical chunk mapped to a conventional zone, all write operations +are processed by directly writing to the zone. If the mapping zone is a +sequential zone, the write operation is processed directly only if the +write offset within the logical chunk is equal to the write pointer +offset within of the sequential data zone (i.e. the write operation is +aligned on the zone write pointer). Otherwise, write operations are +processed indirectly using a buffer zone. In that case, an unused +conventional zone is allocated and assigned to the chunk being +accessed. Writing a block to the buffer zone of a chunk will +automatically invalidate the same block in the sequential zone mapping +the chunk. If all blocks of the sequential zone become invalid, the zone +is freed and the chunk buffer zone becomes the primary zone mapping the +chunk, resulting in native random write performance similar to a regular +block device. + +Read operations are processed according to the block validity +information provided by the bitmaps. Valid blocks are read either from +the sequential zone mapping a chunk, or if the chunk is buffered, from +the buffer zone assigned. If the accessed chunk has no mapping, or the +accessed blocks are invalid, the read buffer is zeroed and the read +operation terminated. + +After some time, the limited number of convnetional zones available may +be exhausted (all used to map chunks or buffer sequential zones) and +unaligned writes to unbuffered chunks become impossible. To avoid this +situation, a reclaim process regularly scans used conventional zones and +tries to reclaim the least recently used zones by copying the valid +blocks of the buffer zone to a free sequential zone. Once the copy +completes, the chunk mapping is updated to point to the sequential zone +and the buffer zone freed for reuse. + +Metadata Protection +=================== + +To protect metadata against corruption in case of sudden power loss or +system crash, 2 sets of metadata zones are used. One set, the primary +set, is used as the main metadata region, while the secondary set is +used as a staging area. Modified metadata is first written to the +secondary set and validated by updating the super block in the secondary +set, a generation counter is used to indicate that this set contains the +newest metadata. Once this operation completes, in place of metadata +block updates can be done in the primary metadata set. This ensures that +one of the set is always consistent (all modifications committed or none +at all). Flush operations are used as a commit point. Upon reception of +a flush request, metadata modification activity is temporarily blocked +(for both incoming BIO processing and reclaim process) and all dirty +metadata blocks are staged and updated. Normal operation is then +resumed. Flushing metadata thus only temporarily delays write and +discard requests. Read requests can be processed concurrently while +metadata flush is being executed. + +Usage +===== + +A zoned block device must first be formatted using the dmzadm tool. This +will analyze the device zone configuration, determine where to place the +metadata sets on the device and initialize the metadata sets. + +Ex: + +dmzadm --format /dev/sdxx + +For a formatted device, the target can be created normally with the +dmsetup utility. The only parameter that dm-zoned requires is the +underlying zoned block device name. Ex: + +echo "0 `blockdev --getsize ${dev}` zoned ${dev}" | dmsetup create dmz-`basename ${dev}` diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/actions.txt b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/actions.txt new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..3bc7ea575564 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/actions.txt @@ -0,0 +1,39 @@ +Actions Semi platforms device tree bindings +------------------------------------------- + + +S500 SoC +======== + +Required root node properties: + + - compatible : must contain "actions,s500" + + +Modules: + +Root node property compatible must contain, depending on module: + + - LeMaker Guitar: "lemaker,guitar" + + +Boards: + +Root node property compatible must contain, depending on board: + + - LeMaker Guitar Base Board rev.

Use ``->error_handler()`` instead. + +:: + + void (*freeze) (struct ata_port *ap); + void (*thaw) (struct ata_port *ap); + + +:c:func:`ata_port_freeze` is called when HSM violations or some other +condition disrupts normal operation of the port. A frozen port is not +allowed to perform any operation until the port is thawed, which usually +follows a successful reset. + +The optional ``->freeze()`` callback can be used for freezing the port +hardware-wise (e.g. mask interrupt and stop DMA engine). If a port +cannot be frozen hardware-wise, the interrupt handler must ack and clear +interrupts unconditionally while the port is frozen. + +The optional ``->thaw()`` callback is called to perform the opposite of +``->freeze()``: prepare the port for normal operation once again. Unmask +interrupts, start DMA engine, etc. + +:: + + void (*error_handler) (struct ata_port *ap); + + +``->error_handler()`` is a driver's hook into probe, hotplug, and recovery +and other exceptional conditions. The primary responsibility of an +implementation is to call :c:func:`ata_do_eh` or :c:func:`ata_bmdma_drive_eh` +with a set of EH hooks as arguments: + +'prereset' hook (may be NULL) is called during an EH reset, before any +other actions are taken. + +'postreset' hook (may be NULL) is called after the EH reset is +performed.

Typically this is used to alloc per-port DMA buffers / +tables / rings, enable DMA engines, and similar tasks. Some drivers also +use this entry point as a chance to allocate driver-private memory for +``ap->private_data``. + +Many drivers use :c:func:`ata_port_start` as this hook or call it from their +own :c:func:`port_start` hooks. :c:func:`ata_port_start` allocates space for +a legacy IDE PRD table and returns. + +``->port_stop()`` is called after ``->host_stop()``. Its sole function is to +release DMA/memory resources, now that they are no longer actively being +used. Many drivers also free driver-private data from port at this time. + +``->host_stop()`` is called after all ``->port_stop()`` calls have completed. +The hook must finalize hardware shutdown, release DMA and other +resources, etc. This hook may be specified as NULL, in which case it is +not called. + +Error handling +============== + +This chapter describes how errors are handled under libata. Readers are +advised to read SCSI EH (Documentation/scsi/scsi_eh.txt) and ATA +exceptions doc first. + +Origins of commands +------------------- + +In libata, a command is represented with +:c:type:`struct ata_queued_cmd <ata_queued_cmd>` or qc. +qc's are preallocated during port initialization and repetitively used +for command executions. Currently only one qc is allocated per port but +yet-to-be-merged NCQ branch allocates one for each tag and maps each qc +to NCQ tag 1-to-1. + +libata commands can originate from two sources - libata itself and SCSI +midlayer. libata internal commands are used for initialization and error +handling. All normal blk requests and commands for SCSI emulation are +passed as SCSI commands through queuecommand callback of SCSI host +template. + +How commands are issued +----------------------- + +Internal commands + First, qc is allocated and initialized using :c:func:`ata_qc_new_init`. + Although :c:func:`ata_qc_new_init` doesn't implement any wait or retry + mechanism when qc is not available, internal commands are currently + issued only during initialization and error recovery, so no other + command is active and allocation is guaranteed to succeed. + + Once allocated qc's taskfile is initialized for the command to be + executed. qc currently has two mechanisms to notify completion. One + is via ``qc->complete_fn()`` callback and the other is completion + ``qc->waiting``. ``qc->complete_fn()`` callback is the asynchronous path + used by normal SCSI translated commands and ``qc->waiting`` is the + synchronous (issuer sleeps in process context) path used by internal + commands. + + Once initialization is complete, host_set lock is acquired and the + qc is issued. + +SCSI commands + All libata drivers use :c:func:`ata_scsi_queuecmd` as + ``hostt->queuecommand`` callback. scmds can either be simulated or + translated. No qc is involved in processing a simulated scmd. The + result is computed right away and the scmd is completed. + + For a translated scmd, :c:func:`ata_qc_new_init` is invoked to allocate a + qc and the scmd is translated into the qc. SCSI midlayer's + completion notification function pointer is stored into + ``qc->scsidone``. + + ``qc->complete_fn()`` callback is used for completion notification. ATA + commands use :c:func:`ata_scsi_qc_complete` while ATAPI commands use + :c:func:`atapi_qc_complete`. Both functions end up calling ``qc->scsidone`` + to notify upper layer when the qc is finished. After translation is + completed, the qc is issued with :c:func:`ata_qc_issue`. + + Note that SCSI midlayer invokes hostt->queuecommand while holding + host_set lock, so all above occur while holding host_set lock. + +How commands are processed +-------------------------- + +Depending on which protocol and which controller are used, commands are +processed differently. For the purpose of discussion, a controller which +uses taskfile interface and all standard callbacks is assumed. + +Currently 6 ATA command protocols are used. They can be sorted into the +following four categories according to how they are processed. + +ATA NO DATA or DMA + ATA_PROT_NODATA and ATA_PROT_DMA fall into this category. These + types of commands don't require any software intervention once + issued. Device will raise interrupt on completion. + +ATA PIO + ATA_PROT_PIO is in this category. libata currently implements PIO + with polling. ATA_NIEN bit is set to turn off interrupt and + pio_task on ata_wq performs polling and IO. + +ATAPI NODATA or DMA + ATA_PROT_ATAPI_NODATA and ATA_PROT_ATAPI_DMA are in this + category. packet_task is used to poll BSY bit after issuing PACKET + command. Once BSY is turned off by the device, packet_task + transfers CDB and hands off processing to interrupt handler. + +ATAPI PIO + ATA_PROT_ATAPI is in this category. ATA_NIEN bit is set and, as + in ATAPI NODATA or DMA, packet_task submits cdb. However, after + submitting cdb, further processing (data transfer) is handed off to + pio_task. + +How commands are completed +-------------------------- + +Once issued, all qc's are either completed with :c:func:`ata_qc_complete` or +time out. For commands which are handled by interrupts, +:c:func:`ata_host_intr` invokes :c:func:`ata_qc_complete`, and, for PIO tasks, +pio_task invokes :c:func:`ata_qc_complete`. In error cases, packet_task may +also complete commands. + +:c:func:`ata_qc_complete` does the following. + +1. DMA memory is unmapped. + +2. ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE is cleared from qc->flags. + +3. :c:func:`qc->complete_fn` callback is invoked. If the return value of the + callback is not zero. Completion is short circuited and + :c:func:`ata_qc_complete` returns. + +4. :c:func:`__ata_qc_complete` is called, which does + + 1. ``qc->flags`` is cleared to zero. + + 2. ``ap->active_tag`` and ``qc->tag`` are poisoned. + + 3. ``qc->waiting`` is cleared & completed (in that order). + + 4. qc is deallocated by clearing appropriate bit in ``ap->qactive``. + +So, it basically notifies upper layer and deallocates qc. One exception +is short-circuit path in #3 which is used by :c:func:`atapi_qc_complete`. + +For all non-ATAPI commands, whether it fails or not, almost the same +code path is taken and very little error handling takes place. A qc is +completed with success status if it succeeded, with failed status +otherwise. + +However, failed ATAPI commands require more handling as REQUEST SENSE is +needed to acquire sense data. If an ATAPI command fails, +:c:func:`ata_qc_complete` is invoked with error status, which in turn invokes +:c:func:`atapi_qc_complete` via ``qc->complete_fn()`` callback. + +This makes :c:func:`atapi_qc_complete` set ``scmd->result`` to +SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION, complete the scmd and return 1. As the +sense data is empty but ``scmd->result`` is CHECK CONDITION, SCSI midlayer +will invoke EH for the scmd, and returning 1 makes :c:func:`ata_qc_complete` +to return without deallocating the qc. This leads us to +:c:func:`ata_scsi_error` with partially completed qc. + +:c:func:`ata_scsi_error` +------------------------ + +:c:func:`ata_scsi_error` is the current ``transportt->eh_strategy_handler()`` +for libata. As discussed above, this will be entered in two cases - +timeout and ATAPI error completion. This function calls low level libata +driver's :c:func:`eng_timeout` callback, the standard callback for which is +:c:func:`ata_eng_timeout`. It checks if a qc is active and calls +:c:func:`ata_qc_timeout` on the qc if so. Actual error handling occurs in +:c:func:`ata_qc_timeout`. + +If EH is invoked for timeout, :c:func:`ata_qc_timeout` stops BMDMA and +completes the qc. Note that as we're currently in EH, we cannot call +scsi_done. As described in SCSI EH doc, a recovered scmd should be +either retried with :c:func:`scsi_queue_insert` or finished with +:c:func:`scsi_finish_command`. Here, we override ``qc->scsidone`` with +:c:func:`scsi_finish_command` and calls :c:func:`ata_qc_complete`. + +If EH is invoked due to a failed ATAPI qc, the qc here is completed but +not deallocated. The purpose of this half-completion is to use the qc as +place holder to make EH code reach this place. This is a bit hackish, +but it works. + +Once control reaches here, the qc is deallocated by invoking +:c:func:`__ata_qc_complete` explicitly. Then, internal qc for REQUEST SENSE +is issued. Once sense data is acquired, scmd is finished by directly +invoking :c:func:`scsi_finish_command` on the scmd. Note that as we already +have completed and deallocated the qc which was associated with the +scmd, we don't need to/cannot call :c:func:`ata_qc_complete` again. + +Problems with the current EH +---------------------------- + +- Error representation is too crude. Currently any and all error + conditions are represented with ATA STATUS and ERROR registers. + Errors which aren't ATA device errors are treated as ATA device + errors by setting ATA_ERR bit. Better error descriptor which can + properly represent ATA and other errors/exceptions is needed. + +- When handling timeouts, no action is taken to make device forget + about the timed out command and ready for new commands. + +- EH handling via :c:func:`ata_scsi_error` is not properly protected from + usual command processing. On EH entrance, the device is not in + quiescent state. Timed out commands may succeed or fail any time. + pio_task and atapi_task may still be running. + +- Too weak error recovery. Devices / controllers causing HSM mismatch + errors and other errors quite often require reset to return to known + state. Also, advanced error handling is necessary to support features + like NCQ and hotplug. + +- ATA errors are directly handled in the interrupt handler and PIO + errors in pio_task. This is problematic for advanced error handling + for the following reasons. + + First, advanced error handling often requires context and internal qc + execution. + + Second, even a simple failure (say, CRC error) needs information + gathering and could trigger complex error handling (say, resetting & + reconfiguring). Having multiple code paths to gather information, + enter EH and trigger actions makes life painful. + + Third, scattered EH code makes implementing low level drivers + difficult. Low level drivers override libata callbacks. If EH is + scattered over several places, each affected callbacks should perform + its part of error handling. This can be error prone and painful. + +libata Library +============== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/ata/libata-core.c + :export: + +libata Core Internals +===================== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/ata/libata-core.c + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/ata/libata-eh.c + +libata SCSI translation/emulation +================================= + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c + :internal: + +ATA errors and exceptions +========================= + +This chapter tries to identify what error/exception conditions exist for +ATA/ATAPI devices and describe how they should be handled in +implementation-neutral way. + +The term 'error' is used to describe conditions where either an explicit +error condition is reported from device or a command has timed out. + +The term 'exception' is either used to describe exceptional conditions +which are not errors (say, power or hotplug events), or to describe both +errors and non-error exceptional conditions. Where explicit distinction +between error and exception is necessary, the term 'non-error exception' +is used. + +Exception categories +-------------------- + +Exceptions are described primarily with respect to legacy taskfile + bus +master IDE interface. If a controller provides other better mechanism +for error reporting, mapping those into categories described below +shouldn't be difficult. + +In the following sections, two recovery actions - reset and +reconfiguring transport - are mentioned. These are described further in +`EH recovery actions <#exrec>`__. + +HSM violation +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This error is indicated when STATUS value doesn't match HSM requirement +during issuing or execution any ATA/ATAPI command. + +- ATA_STATUS doesn't contain !BSY && DRDY && !DRQ while trying to + issue a command. + +- !BSY && !DRQ during PIO data transfer. + +- DRQ on command completion. + +- !BSY && ERR after CDB transfer starts but before the last byte of CDB + is transferred. ATA/ATAPI standard states that "The device shall not + terminate the PACKET command with an error before the last byte of + the command packet has been written" in the error outputs description + of PACKET command and the state diagram doesn't include such + transitions. + +In these cases, HSM is violated and not much information regarding the +error can be acquired from STATUS or ERROR register. IOW, this error can +be anything - driver bug, faulty device, controller and/or cable. + +As HSM is violated, reset is necessary to restore known state. +Reconfiguring transport for lower speed might be helpful too as +transmission errors sometimes cause this kind of errors. + +ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +These are errors detected and reported by ATA/ATAPI devices indicating +device problems. For this type of errors, STATUS and ERROR register +values are valid and describe error condition. Note that some of ATA bus +errors are detected by ATA/ATAPI devices and reported using the same +mechanism as device errors. Those cases are described later in this +section. + +For ATA commands, this type of errors are indicated by !BSY && ERR +during command execution and on completion. + +For ATAPI commands, + +- !BSY && ERR && ABRT right after issuing PACKET indicates that PACKET + command is not supported and falls in this category. + +- !BSY && ERR(==CHK) && !ABRT after the last byte of CDB is transferred + indicates CHECK CONDITION and doesn't fall in this category. + +- !BSY && ERR(==CHK) && ABRT after the last byte of CDB is transferred + \*probably\* indicates CHECK CONDITION and doesn't fall in this + category. + +Of errors detected as above, the following are not ATA/ATAPI device +errors but ATA bus errors and should be handled according to +`ATA bus error <#excatATAbusErr>`__. + +CRC error during data transfer + This is indicated by ICRC bit in the ERROR register and means that + corruption occurred during data transfer. Up to ATA/ATAPI-7, the + standard specifies that this bit is only applicable to UDMA + transfers but ATA/ATAPI-8 draft revision 1f says that the bit may be + applicable to multiword DMA and PIO. + +ABRT error during data transfer or on completion + Up to ATA/ATAPI-7, the standard specifies that ABRT could be set on + ICRC errors and on cases where a device is not able to complete a + command. Combined with the fact that MWDMA and PIO transfer errors + aren't allowed to use ICRC bit up to ATA/ATAPI-7, it seems to imply + that ABRT bit alone could indicate transfer errors. + + However, ATA/ATAPI-8 draft revision 1f removes the part that ICRC + errors can turn on ABRT. So, this is kind of gray area. Some + heuristics are needed here. + +ATA/ATAPI device errors can be further categorized as follows. + +Media errors + This is indicated by UNC bit in the ERROR register. ATA devices + reports UNC error only after certain number of retries cannot + recover the data, so there's nothing much else to do other than + notifying upper layer. + + READ and WRITE commands report CHS or LBA of the first failed sector + but ATA/ATAPI standard specifies that the amount of transferred data + on error completion is indeterminate, so we cannot assume that + sectors preceding the failed sector have been transferred and thus + cannot complete those sectors successfully as SCSI does. + +Media changed / media change requested error + <<TODO: fill here>> + +Address error + This is indicated by IDNF bit in the ERROR register. Report to upper + layer. + +Other errors + This can be invalid command or parameter indicated by ABRT ERROR bit + or some other error condition. Note that ABRT bit can indicate a lot + of things including ICRC and Address errors. Heuristics needed. + +Depending on commands, not all STATUS/ERROR bits are applicable. These +non-applicable bits are marked with "na" in the output descriptions but +up to ATA/ATAPI-7 no definition of "na" can be found. However, +ATA/ATAPI-8 draft revision 1f describes "N/A" as follows. + + 3.2.3.3a N/A + A keyword the indicates a field has no defined value in this + standard and should not be checked by the host or device. N/A + fields should be cleared to zero. + +So, it seems reasonable to assume that "na" bits are cleared to zero by +devices and thus need no explicit masking. + +ATAPI device CHECK CONDITION +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +ATAPI device CHECK CONDITION error is indicated by set CHK bit (ERR bit) +in the STATUS register after the last byte of CDB is transferred for a +PACKET command. For this kind of errors, sense data should be acquired +to gather information regarding the errors. REQUEST SENSE packet command +should be used to acquire sense data. + +Once sense data is acquired, this type of errors can be handled +similarly to other SCSI errors. Note that sense data may indicate ATA +bus error (e.g. Sense Key 04h HARDWARE ERROR && ASC/ASCQ 47h/00h SCSI +PARITY ERROR). In such cases, the error should be considered as an ATA +bus error and handled according to `ATA bus error <#excatATAbusErr>`__. + +ATA device error (NCQ) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +NCQ command error is indicated by cleared BSY and set ERR bit during NCQ +command phase (one or more NCQ commands outstanding). Although STATUS +and ERROR registers will contain valid values describing the error, READ +LOG EXT is required to clear the error condition, determine which +command has failed and acquire more information. + +READ LOG EXT Log Page 10h reports which tag has failed and taskfile +register values describing the error. With this information the failed +command can be handled as a normal ATA command error as in +`ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION) <#excatDevErr>`__ +and all other in-flight commands must be retried. Note that this retry +should not be counted - it's likely that commands retried this way would +have completed normally if it were not for the failed command. + +Note that ATA bus errors can be reported as ATA device NCQ errors. This +should be handled as described in `ATA bus error <#excatATAbusErr>`__. + +If READ LOG EXT Log Page 10h fails or reports NQ, we're thoroughly +screwed. This condition should be treated according to +`HSM violation <#excatHSMviolation>`__. + +ATA bus error +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission +over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by + +- ICRC or ABRT error as described in + `ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION) <#excatDevErr>`__. + +- Controller-specific error completion with error information + indicating transmission error. + +- On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a + mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error. + +- Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities. + +As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of +symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, +for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to +transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind +of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, +encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is +likely to indicate ATA bus error. + +Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, +lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may +alleviate the problem. See `Reconfigure transport <#exrecReconf>`__ for +more information. + +PCI bus error +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Data corruption or other failures during transmission over PCI (or other +system bus). For standard BMDMA, this is indicated by Error bit in the +BMDMA Status register. This type of errors must be logged as it +indicates something is very wrong with the system. Resetting host +controller is recommended. + +Late completion +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This occurs when timeout occurs and the timeout handler finds out that +the timed out command has completed successfully or with error. This is +usually caused by lost interrupts. This type of errors must be logged. +Resetting host controller is recommended. + +Unknown error (timeout) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This is when timeout occurs and the command is still processing or the +host and device are in unknown state. When this occurs, HSM could be in +any valid or invalid state. To bring the device to known state and make +it forget about the timed out command, resetting is necessary.

Different controllers may have different requirements. + +For SATA, it's strongly recommended to clear at least SError register +during error handling. + +Reset +~~~~~ + +During EH, resetting is necessary in the following cases. + +- HSM is in unknown or invalid state + +- HBA is in unknown or invalid state + +- EH needs to make HBA/device forget about in-flight commands + +- HBA/device behaves weirdly + +Resetting during EH might be a good idea regardless of error condition +to improve EH robustness. Whether to reset both or either one of HBA and +device depends on situation but the following scheme is recommended. + +- When it's known that HBA is in ready state but ATA/ATAPI device is in + unknown state, reset only device. + +- If HBA is in unknown state, reset both HBA and device. + +HBA resetting is implementation specific. For a controller complying to +taskfile/BMDMA PCI IDE, stopping active DMA transaction may be +sufficient iff BMDMA state is the only HBA context. But even mostly +taskfile/BMDMA PCI IDE complying controllers may have implementation +specific requirements and mechanism to reset themselves. This must be +addressed by specific drivers. + +OTOH, ATA/ATAPI standard describes in detail ways to reset ATA/ATAPI +devices. + +PATA hardware reset + This is hardware initiated device reset signalled with asserted PATA + RESET- signal. There is no standard way to initiate hardware reset + from software although some hardware provides registers that allow + driver to directly tweak the RESET- signal. + +Software reset + This is achieved by turning CONTROL SRST bit on for at least 5us. + Both PATA and SATA support it but, in case of SATA, this may require + controller-specific support as the second Register FIS to clear SRST + should be transmitted while BSY bit is still set. Note that on PATA, + this resets both master and slave devices on a channel. + +EXECUTE DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC command + Although ATA/ATAPI standard doesn't describe exactly, EDD implies + some level of resetting, possibly similar level with software reset. + Host-side EDD protocol can be handled with normal command processing + and most SATA controllers should be able to handle EDD's just like + other commands. As in software reset, EDD affects both devices on a + PATA bus. + + Although EDD does reset devices, this doesn't suit error handling as + EDD cannot be issued while BSY is set and it's unclear how it will + act when device is in unknown/weird state. + +ATAPI DEVICE RESET command + This is very similar to software reset except that reset can be + restricted to the selected device without affecting the other device + sharing the cable. + +SATA phy reset + This is the preferred way of resetting a SATA device. In effect, + it's identical to PATA hardware reset. Note that this can be done + with the standard SCR Control register. As such, it's usually easier + to implement than software reset. + +One more thing to consider when resetting devices is that resetting +clears certain configuration parameters and they need to be set to their +previous or newly adjusted values after reset. + +Parameters affected are. + +- CHS set up with INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS (seldom used) + +- Parameters set with SET FEATURES including transfer mode setting + +- Block count set with SET MULTIPLE MODE + +- Other parameters (SET MAX, MEDIA LOCK...) + +ATA/ATAPI standard specifies that some parameters must be maintained +across hardware or software reset, but doesn't strictly specify all of +them. Always reconfiguring needed parameters after reset is required for +robustness. Note that this also applies when resuming from deep sleep +(power-off). + +Also, ATA/ATAPI standard requires that IDENTIFY DEVICE / IDENTIFY PACKET +DEVICE is issued after any configuration parameter is updated or a +hardware reset and the result used for further operation. OS driver is +required to implement revalidation mechanism to support this. + +Reconfigure transport +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +For both PATA and SATA, a lot of corners are cut for cheap connectors, +cables or controllers and it's quite common to see high transmission +error rate. This can be mitigated by lowering transmission speed. + +The following is a possible scheme Jeff Garzik suggested. + + If more than $N (3?) transmission errors happen in 15 minutes, + + - if SATA, decrease SATA PHY speed. if speed cannot be decreased, + + - decrease UDMA xfer speed. if at UDMA0, switch to PIO4, + + - decrease PIO xfer speed. if at PIO3, complain, but continue + +ata_piix Internals +=================== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/ata/ata_piix.c + :internal: + +sata_sil Internals +=================== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/ata/sata_sil.c + :internal: + +Thanks +====== + +The bulk of the ATA knowledge comes thanks to long conversations with +Andre Hedrick (www.linux-ide.org), and long hours pondering the ATA and +SCSI specifications. + +Thanks to Alan Cox for pointing out similarities between SATA and SCSI, +and in general for motivation to hack on libata. + +libata's device detection method, ata_pio_devchk, and in general all +the early probing was based on extensive study of Hale Landis's +probe/reset code in his ATADRVR driver (www.ata-atapi.com). diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/mtdnand.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/mtdnand.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..e9afa586d15e --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/mtdnand.rst @@ -0,0 +1,1007 @@ +===================================== +MTD NAND Driver Programming Interface +===================================== + +:Author: Thomas Gleixner + +Introduction +============ + +The generic NAND driver supports almost all NAND and AG-AND based chips +and connects them to the Memory Technology Devices (MTD) subsystem of +the Linux Kernel. + +This documentation is provided for developers who want to implement +board drivers or filesystem drivers suitable for NAND devices. + +Known Bugs And Assumptions +========================== + +None. + +Documentation hints +=================== + +The function and structure docs are autogenerated.

You can allocate the nand_chip structure +using kmalloc or you can allocate it statically. The NAND chip structure +embeds an mtd structure which will be registered to the MTD subsystem. +You can extract a pointer to the mtd structure from a nand_chip pointer +using the nand_to_mtd() helper. + +Kmalloc based example + +:: + + static struct mtd_info *board_mtd; + static void __iomem *baseaddr; + + +Static example + +:: + + static struct nand_chip board_chip; + static void __iomem *baseaddr; + + +Partition defines +----------------- + +If you want to divide your device into partitions, then define a +partitioning scheme suitable to your board. + +:: + + #define NUM_PARTITIONS 2 + static struct mtd_partition partition_info[] = { + { .name = "Flash partition 1", + .offset = 0, + .size = 8 * 1024 * 1024 }, + { .name = "Flash partition 2", + .offset = MTDPART_OFS_NEXT, + .size = MTDPART_SIZ_FULL }, + }; + + +Hardware control function +------------------------- + +The hardware control function provides access to the control pins of the +NAND chip(s).

The function has no arguments and +should return 0, if the device is busy (R/B pin is low) and 1, if the +device is ready (R/B pin is high). If the hardware interface does not +give access to the ready busy pin, then the function must not be defined +and the function pointer this->dev_ready is set to NULL. + +Init function +------------- + +The init function allocates memory and sets up all the board specific +parameters and function pointers.

Therefore the board driver must +provide an own select_chip function. This function must (de)select the +requested chip. The function pointer in the nand_chip structure must be +set before calling nand_scan(). The maxchip parameter of nand_scan() +defines the maximum number of chips to scan for. Make sure that the +select_chip function can handle the requested number of chips. + +The nand driver concatenates the chips to one virtual chip and provides +this virtual chip to the MTD layer. + +*Note: The driver can only handle linear chip arrays of equally sized +chips. There is no support for parallel arrays which extend the +buswidth.* + +*GPIO based example* + +:: + + static void board_select_chip (struct mtd_info *mtd, int chip) + { + /* Deselect all chips, set all nCE pins high */ + GPIO(BOARD_NAND_NCE) |= 0xff; + if (chip >= 0) + GPIO(BOARD_NAND_NCE) &= ~ (1 << chip); + } + + +*Address lines based example.* Its assumed that the nCE pins are +connected to an address decoder. + +:: + + static void board_select_chip (struct mtd_info *mtd, int chip) + { + struct nand_chip *this = mtd_to_nand(mtd); + + /* Deselect all chips */ + this->IO_ADDR_R &= ~BOARD_NAND_ADDR_MASK; + this->IO_ADDR_W &= ~BOARD_NAND_ADDR_MASK; + switch (chip) { + case 0: + this->IO_ADDR_R |= BOARD_NAND_ADDR_CHIP0; + this->IO_ADDR_W |= BOARD_NAND_ADDR_CHIP0; + break; + .... + case n: + this->IO_ADDR_R |= BOARD_NAND_ADDR_CHIPn; + this->IO_ADDR_W |= BOARD_NAND_ADDR_CHIPn; + break; + } + } + + +Hardware ECC support +-------------------- + +Functions and constants +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The nand driver supports three different types of hardware ECC. + +- NAND_ECC_HW3_256 + + Hardware ECC generator providing 3 bytes ECC per 256 byte. + +- NAND_ECC_HW3_512 + + Hardware ECC generator providing 3 bytes ECC per 512 byte. + +- NAND_ECC_HW6_512 + + Hardware ECC generator providing 6 bytes ECC per 512 byte. + +- NAND_ECC_HW8_512 + + Hardware ECC generator providing 6 bytes ECC per 512 byte. + +If your hardware generator has a different functionality add it at the +appropriate place in nand_base.c + +The board driver must provide following functions: + +- enable_hwecc + + This function is called before reading / writing to the chip. Reset + or initialize the hardware generator in this function. The function + is called with an argument which let you distinguish between read and + write operations. + +- calculate_ecc + + This function is called after read / write from / to the chip. + Transfer the ECC from the hardware to the buffer. If the option + NAND_HWECC_SYNDROME is set then the function is only called on + write. See below. + +- correct_data + + In case of an ECC error this function is called for error detection + and correction. Return 1 respectively 2 in case the error can be + corrected. If the error is not correctable return -1. If your + hardware generator matches the default algorithm of the nand_ecc + software generator then use the correction function provided by + nand_ecc instead of implementing duplicated code. + +Hardware ECC with syndrome calculation +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Many hardware ECC implementations provide Reed-Solomon codes and +calculate an error syndrome on read. The syndrome must be converted to a +standard Reed-Solomon syndrome before calling the error correction code +in the generic Reed-Solomon library. + +The ECC bytes must be placed immediately after the data bytes in order +to make the syndrome generator work. This is contrary to the usual +layout used by software ECC. The separation of data and out of band area +is not longer possible. The nand driver code handles this layout and the +remaining free bytes in the oob area are managed by the autoplacement +code. Provide a matching oob-layout in this case. See rts_from4.c and +diskonchip.c for implementation reference. In those cases we must also +use bad block tables on FLASH, because the ECC layout is interfering +with the bad block marker positions. See bad block table support for +details. + +Bad block table support +----------------------- + +Most NAND chips mark the bad blocks at a defined position in the spare +area. Those blocks must not be erased under any circumstances as the bad +block information would be lost. It is possible to check the bad block +mark each time when the blocks are accessed by reading the spare area of +the first page in the block. This is time consuming so a bad block table +is used. + +The nand driver supports various types of bad block tables. + +- Per device + + The bad block table contains all bad block information of the device + which can consist of multiple chips. + +- Per chip + + A bad block table is used per chip and contains the bad block + information for this particular chip. + +- Fixed offset + + The bad block table is located at a fixed offset in the chip + (device). This applies to various DiskOnChip devices. + +- Automatic placed + + The bad block table is automatically placed and detected either at + the end or at the beginning of a chip (device) + +- Mirrored tables + + The bad block table is mirrored on the chip (device) to allow updates + of the bad block table without data loss. + +nand_scan() calls the function nand_default_bbt(). +nand_default_bbt() selects appropriate default bad block table +descriptors depending on the chip information which was retrieved by +nand_scan(). + +The standard policy is scanning the device for bad blocks and build a +ram based bad block table which allows faster access than always +checking the bad block information on the flash chip itself. + +Flash based tables +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +It may be desired or necessary to keep a bad block table in FLASH. For +AG-AND chips this is mandatory, as they have no factory marked bad +blocks. They have factory marked good blocks. The marker pattern is +erased when the block is erased to be reused. So in case of powerloss +before writing the pattern back to the chip this block would be lost and +added to the bad blocks. Therefore we scan the chip(s) when we detect +them the first time for good blocks and store this information in a bad +block table before erasing any of the blocks. + +The blocks in which the tables are stored are protected against +accidental access by marking them bad in the memory bad block table. The +bad block table management functions are allowed to circumvent this +protection. + +The simplest way to activate the FLASH based bad block table support is +to set the option NAND_BBT_USE_FLASH in the bbt_option field of the +nand chip structure before calling nand_scan(). For AG-AND chips is +this done by default. This activates the default FLASH based bad block +table functionality of the NAND driver. The default bad block table +options are + +- Store bad block table per chip + +- Use 2 bits per block + +- Automatic placement at the end of the chip + +- Use mirrored tables with version numbers + +- Reserve 4 blocks at the end of the chip + +User defined tables +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +User defined tables are created by filling out a nand_bbt_descr +structure and storing the pointer in the nand_chip structure member +bbt_td before calling nand_scan(). If a mirror table is necessary a +second structure must be created and a pointer to this structure must be +stored in bbt_md inside the nand_chip structure. If the bbt_md member +is set to NULL then only the main table is used and no scan for the +mirrored table is performed. + +The most important field in the nand_bbt_descr structure is the +options field. The options define most of the table properties. Use the +predefined constants from nand.h to define the options. + +- Number of bits per block + + The supported number of bits is 1, 2, 4, 8. + +- Table per chip + + Setting the constant NAND_BBT_PERCHIP selects that a bad block + table is managed for each chip in a chip array. If this option is not + set then a per device bad block table is used. + +- Table location is absolute + + Use the option constant NAND_BBT_ABSPAGE and define the absolute + page number where the bad block table starts in the field pages. If + you have selected bad block tables per chip and you have a multi chip + array then the start page must be given for each chip in the chip + array. Note: there is no scan for a table ident pattern performed, so + the fields pattern, veroffs, offs, len can be left uninitialized + +- Table location is automatically detected + + The table can either be located in the first or the last good blocks + of the chip (device). Set NAND_BBT_LASTBLOCK to place the bad block + table at the end of the chip (device). The bad block tables are + marked and identified by a pattern which is stored in the spare area + of the first page in the block which holds the bad block table. Store + a pointer to the pattern in the pattern field. Further the length of + the pattern has to be stored in len and the offset in the spare area + must be given in the offs member of the nand_bbt_descr structure. + For mirrored bad block tables different patterns are mandatory. + +- Table creation + + Set the option NAND_BBT_CREATE to enable the table creation if no + table can be found during the scan. Usually this is done only once if + a new chip is found. + +- Table write support + + Set the option NAND_BBT_WRITE to enable the table write support. + This allows the update of the bad block table(s) in case a block has + to be marked bad due to wear. The MTD interface function + block_markbad is calling the update function of the bad block table. + If the write support is enabled then the table is updated on FLASH. + + Note: Write support should only be enabled for mirrored tables with + version control. + +- Table version control + + Set the option NAND_BBT_VERSION to enable the table version + control. It's highly recommended to enable this for mirrored tables + with write support. It makes sure that the risk of losing the bad + block table information is reduced to the loss of the information + about the one worn out block which should be marked bad. The version + is stored in 4 consecutive bytes in the spare area of the device. The + position of the version number is defined by the member veroffs in + the bad block table descriptor. + +- Save block contents on write + + In case that the block which holds the bad block table does contain + other useful information, set the option NAND_BBT_SAVECONTENT. When + the bad block table is written then the whole block is read the bad + block table is updated and the block is erased and everything is + written back. If this option is not set only the bad block table is + written and everything else in the block is ignored and erased. + +- Number of reserved blocks + + For automatic placement some blocks must be reserved for bad block + table storage. The number of reserved blocks is defined in the + maxblocks member of the bad block table description structure. + Reserving 4 blocks for mirrored tables should be a reasonable number. + This also limits the number of blocks which are scanned for the bad + block table ident pattern. + +Spare area (auto)placement +-------------------------- + +The nand driver implements different possibilities for placement of +filesystem data in the spare area, + +- Placement defined by fs driver + +- Automatic placement + +The default placement function is automatic placement. The nand driver +has built in default placement schemes for the various chiptypes. If due +to hardware ECC functionality the default placement does not fit then +the board driver can provide a own placement scheme. + +File system drivers can provide a own placement scheme which is used +instead of the default placement scheme. + +Placement schemes are defined by a nand_oobinfo structure + +:: + + struct nand_oobinfo { + int useecc; + int eccbytes; + int eccpos[24]; + int oobfree[8][2]; + }; + + +- useecc + + The useecc member controls the ecc and placement function. The header + file include/mtd/mtd-abi.h contains constants to select ecc and + placement. MTD_NANDECC_OFF switches off the ecc complete. This is + not recommended and available for testing and diagnosis only. + MTD_NANDECC_PLACE selects caller defined placement, + MTD_NANDECC_AUTOPLACE selects automatic placement. + +- eccbytes + + The eccbytes member defines the number of ecc bytes per page. + +- eccpos + + The eccpos array holds the byte offsets in the spare area where the + ecc codes are placed. + +- oobfree + + The oobfree array defines the areas in the spare area which can be + used for automatic placement. The information is given in the format + {offset, size}. offset defines the start of the usable area, size the + length in bytes. More than one area can be defined. The list is + terminated by an {0, 0} entry. + +Placement defined by fs driver +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The calling function provides a pointer to a nand_oobinfo structure +which defines the ecc placement. For writes the caller must provide a +spare area buffer along with the data buffer. The spare area buffer size +is (number of pages) \* (size of spare area). For reads the buffer size +is (number of pages) \* ((size of spare area) + (number of ecc steps per +page) \* sizeof (int)). The driver stores the result of the ecc check +for each tuple in the spare buffer. The storage sequence is:: + + <spare data page 0><ecc result 0>...<ecc result n> + + ... + + <spare data page n><ecc result 0>...<ecc result n> + +This is a legacy mode used by YAFFS1. + +If the spare area buffer is NULL then only the ECC placement is done +according to the given scheme in the nand_oobinfo structure. + +Automatic placement +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Automatic placement uses the built in defaults to place the ecc bytes in +the spare area. If filesystem data have to be stored / read into the +spare area then the calling function must provide a buffer. The buffer +size per page is determined by the oobfree array in the nand_oobinfo +structure. + +If the spare area buffer is NULL then only the ECC placement is done +according to the default builtin scheme. + +Spare area autoplacement default schemes +---------------------------------------- + +256 byte pagesize +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +======== ================== =================================================== +Offset Content Comment +======== ================== =================================================== +0x00 ECC byte 0 Error correction code byte 0 +0x01 ECC byte 1 Error correction code byte 1 +0x02 ECC byte 2 Error correction code byte 2 +0x03 Autoplace 0 +0x04 Autoplace 1 +0x05 Bad block marker If any bit in this byte is zero, then this + block is bad.

Those interfaces are provided by the s390 common +I/O layer. + +The document assumes a familarity with the technical terms associated +with the s390 channel I/O architecture. For a description of this +architecture, please refer to the "z/Architecture: Principles of +Operation", IBM publication no.

SCSI commands are 6, 10, 12, or 16 +bytes long, often followed by an associated data payload. + +SCSI commands can be transported over just about any kind of bus, and +are the default protocol for storage devices attached to USB, SATA, SAS, +Fibre Channel, FireWire, and ATAPI devices. SCSI packets are also +commonly exchanged over Infiniband, +`I20 <http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/faq.php>`__, TCP/IP +(`iSCSI <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISCSI>`__), even `Parallel +ports <http://cyberelk.net/tim/parport/parscsi.html>`__. + +Design of the Linux SCSI subsystem +---------------------------------- + +The SCSI subsystem uses a three layer design, with upper, mid, and low +layers. Every operation involving the SCSI subsystem (such as reading a +sector from a disk) uses one driver at each of the 3 levels: one upper +layer driver, one lower layer driver, and the SCSI midlayer. + +The SCSI upper layer provides the interface between userspace and the +kernel, in the form of block and char device nodes for I/O and ioctl(). +The SCSI lower layer contains drivers for specific hardware devices. + +In between is the SCSI mid-layer, analogous to a network routing layer +such as the IPv4 stack. The SCSI mid-layer routes a packet based data +protocol between the upper layer's /dev nodes and the corresponding +devices in the lower layer.

Peripheral-only configuration + 2. Host-only configuration + 3. Dual-Role configuration + 4. Hub configuration + +Linux currently supports several versions of this controller. In all +likelyhood, the version in your SoC is already supported. At the time +of this writing, known tested versions range from 2.02a to 3.10a. As a +rule of thumb, anything above 2.02a should work reliably well. + +Currently, we have many known users for this driver. In alphabetical +order: + + 1. Cavium + 2. Intel Corporation + 3. Qualcomm + 4. Rockchip + 5. ST + 6. Samsung + 7. Texas Instruments + 8. Xilinx + +Summary of Features +====================== + +For details about features supported by your version of DWC3, consult +your IP team and/or *Synopsys DesignWare Core SuperSpeed USB 3.0 +Controller Databook*. Following is a list of features supported by the +driver at the time of this writing: + + 1. Up to 16 bidirectional endpoints (including the control + pipe - ep0) + 2. Flexible endpoint configuration + 3. Simultaneous IN and OUT transfer support + 4. Scatter-list support + 5. Up to 256 TRBs [#trb]_ per endpoint + 6. Support for all transfer types (*Control*, *Bulk*, + *Interrupt*, and *Isochronous*) + 7. SuperSpeed Bulk Streams + 8. Link Power Management + 9. Trace Events for debugging + 10. DebugFS [#debugfs]_ interface + +These features have all been exercised with many of the **in-tree** +gadget drivers. We have verified both *ConfigFS* [#configfs]_ and +legacy gadget drivers. + +Driver Design +============== + +The DWC3 driver sits on the *drivers/usb/dwc3/* directory. All files +related to this driver are in this one directory. This makes it easy +for new-comers to read the code and understand how it behaves. + +Because of DWC3's configuration flexibility, the driver is a little +complex in some places but it should be rather straightforward to +understand. + +The biggest part of the driver refers to the Gadget API. + +Known Limitations +=================== + +Like any other HW, DWC3 has its own set of limitations. To avoid +constant questions about such problems, we decided to document them +here and have a single location to where we could point users. + +OUT Transfer Size Requirements +--------------------------------- + +According to Synopsys Databook, all OUT transfer TRBs [#trb]_ must +have their *size* field set to a value which is integer divisible by +the endpoint's *wMaxPacketSize*. This means that *e.g.* in order to +receive a Mass Storage *CBW* [#cbw]_, req->length must either be set +to a value that's divisible by *wMaxPacketSize* (1024 on SuperSpeed, +512 on HighSpeed, etc), or DWC3 driver must add a Chained TRB pointing +to a throw-away buffer for the remaining length. Without this, OUT +transfers will **NOT** start. + +Note that as of this writing, this won't be a problem because DWC3 is +fully capable of appending a chained TRB for the remaining length and +completely hide this detail from the gadget driver. It's still worth +mentioning because this seems to be the largest source of queries +about DWC3 and *non-working transfers*. + +TRB Ring Size Limitation +------------------------- + +We, currently, have a hard limit of 256 TRBs [#trb]_ per endpoint, +with the last TRB being a Link TRB [#link_trb]_ pointing back to the +first. This limit is arbitrary but it has the benefit of adding up to +exactly 4096 bytes, or 1 Page. + +DWC3 driver will try its best to cope with more than 255 requests and, +for the most part, it should work normally. However this is not +something that has been exercised very frequently. If you experience +any problems, see section **Reporting Bugs** below. + +Reporting Bugs +================ + +Whenever you encounter a problem with DWC3, first and foremost you +should make sure that: + + 1. You're running latest tag from `Linus' tree`_ + 2. You can reproduce the error without any out-of-tree changes + to DWC3 + 3. You have checked that it's not a fault on the host machine + +After all these are verified, then here's how to capture enough +information so we can be of any help to you. + +Required Information +--------------------- + +DWC3 relies exclusively on Trace Events for debugging. Everything is +exposed there, with some extra bits being exposed to DebugFS +[#debugfs]_. + +In order to capture DWC3's Trace Events you should run the following +commands **before** plugging the USB cable to a host machine: + +.. code-block:: sh + + # mkdir -p /d + # mkdir -p /t + # mount -t debugfs none /d + # mount -t tracefs none /t + # echo 81920 > /t/buffer_size_kb + # echo 1 > /t/events/dwc3/enable + +After this is done, you can connect your USB cable and reproduce the +problem. As soon as the fault is reproduced, make a copy of files +``trace`` and ``regdump``, like so: + +.. code-block:: sh + + # cp /t/trace /root/trace.txt + # cat /d/*dwc3*/regdump > /root/regdump.txt + +Make sure to compress ``trace.txt`` and ``regdump.txt`` in a tarball +and email it to `me`_ with `linux-usb`_ in Cc. If you want to be extra +sure that I'll help you, write your subject line in the following +format: + + **[BUG REPORT] usb: dwc3: Bug while doing XYZ** + +On the email body, make sure to detail what you doing, which gadget +driver you were using, how to reproduce the problem, what SoC you're +using, which OS (and its version) was running on the Host machine. + +With all this information, we should be able to understand what's +going on and be helpful to you. + +Debugging +=========== + +First and foremost a disclaimer:: + + DISCLAIMER: The information available on DebugFS and/or TraceFS can + change at any time at any Major Linux Kernel Release. If writing + scripts, do **NOT** assume information to be available in the + current format. + +With that out of the way, let's carry on. + +If you're willing to debug your own problem, you deserve a round of +applause :-) + +Anyway, there isn't much to say here other than Trace Events will be +really helpful in figuring out issues with DWC3. Also, access to +Synopsys Databook will be **really** valuable in this case. + +A USB Sniffer can be helpful at times but it's not entirely required, +there's a lot that can be understood without looking at the wire. + +Feel free to email `me`_ and Cc `linux-usb`_ if you need any help. + +``DebugFS`` +------------- + +``DebugFS`` is very good for gathering snapshots of what's going on +with DWC3 and/or any endpoint. + +On DWC3's ``DebugFS`` directory, you will find the following files and +directories: + +``ep[0..15]{in,out}/`` +``link_state`` +``regdump`` +``testmode`` + +``link_state`` +`````````````` + +When read, ``link_state`` will print out one of ``U0``, ``U1``, +``U2``, ``U3``, ``SS.Disabled``, ``RX.Detect``, ``SS.Inactive``, +``Polling``, ``Recovery``, ``Hot Reset``, ``Compliance``, +``Loopback``, ``Reset``, ``Resume`` or ``UNKNOWN link state``. + +This file can also be written to in order to force link to one of the +states above. + +``regdump`` +````````````` + +File name is self-explanatory. When read, ``regdump`` will print out a +register dump of DWC3. Note that this file can be grepped to find the +information you want. + +``testmode`` +`````````````` + +When read, ``testmode`` will print out a name of one of the specified +USB 2.0 Testmodes (``test_j``, ``test_k``, ``test_se0_nak``, +``test_packet``, ``test_force_enable``) or the string ``no test`` in +case no tests are currently being executed. + +In order to start any of these test modes, the same strings can be +written to the file and DWC3 will enter the requested test mode. + + +``ep[0..15]{in,out}`` +`````````````````````` + +For each endpoint we expose one directory following the naming +convention ``ep$num$dir`` *(ep0in, ep0out, ep1in, ...)*.

+MMIO +``````` + +It is sometimes useful to look at every MMIO access when looking for +bugs.

You need to first of all create a +journal_t data structure. There are two calls to do this dependent on +how you decide to allocate the physical media on which the journal +resides. The :c:func:`jbd2_journal_init_inode` call is for journals stored in +filesystem inodes, or the :c:func:`jbd2_journal_init_dev` call can be used +for journal stored on a raw device (in a continuous range of blocks). A +journal_t is a typedef for a struct pointer, so when you are finally +finished make sure you call :c:func:`jbd2_journal_destroy` on it to free up +any used kernel memory. + +Once you have got your journal_t object you need to 'mount' or load the +journal file. The journalling layer expects the space for the journal +was already allocated and initialized properly by the userspace tools. +When loading the journal you must call :c:func:`jbd2_journal_load` to process +journal contents. If the client file system detects the journal contents +does not need to be processed (or even need not have valid contents), it +may call :c:func:`jbd2_journal_wipe` to clear the journal contents before +calling :c:func:`jbd2_journal_load`. + +Note that jbd2_journal_wipe(..,0) calls +:c:func:`jbd2_journal_skip_recovery` for you if it detects any outstanding +transactions in the journal and similarly :c:func:`jbd2_journal_load` will +call :c:func:`jbd2_journal_recover` if necessary. I would advise reading +:c:func:`ext4_load_journal` in fs/ext4/super.c for examples on this stage. + +Now you can go ahead and start modifying the underlying filesystem. +Almost. + +You still need to actually journal your filesystem changes, this is done +by wrapping them into transactions. Additionally you also need to wrap +the modification of each of the buffers with calls to the journal layer, +so it knows what the modifications you are actually making are. To do +this use :c:func:`jbd2_journal_start` which returns a transaction handle. + +:c:func:`jbd2_journal_start` and its counterpart :c:func:`jbd2_journal_stop`, +which indicates the end of a transaction are nestable calls, so you can +reenter a transaction if necessary, but remember you must call +:c:func:`jbd2_journal_stop` the same number of times as +:c:func:`jbd2_journal_start` before the transaction is completed (or more +accurately leaves the update phase). Ext4/VFS makes use of this feature to +simplify handling of inode dirtying, quota support, etc. + +Inside each transaction you need to wrap the modifications to the +individual buffers (blocks). Before you start to modify a buffer you +need to call :c:func:`jbd2_journal_get_create_access()` / +:c:func:`jbd2_journal_get_write_access()` / +:c:func:`jbd2_journal_get_undo_access()` as appropriate, this allows the +journalling layer to copy the unmodified +data if it needs to. After all the buffer may be part of a previously +uncommitted transaction. At this point you are at last ready to modify a +buffer, and once you are have done so you need to call +:c:func:`jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata`. Or if you've asked for access to a +buffer you now know is now longer required to be pushed back on the +device you can call :c:func:`jbd2_journal_forget` in much the same way as you +might have used :c:func:`bforget` in the past. + +A :c:func:`jbd2_journal_flush` may be called at any time to commit and +checkpoint all your transactions. + +Then at umount time , in your :c:func:`put_super` you can then call +:c:func:`jbd2_journal_destroy` to clean up your in-core journal object. + +Unfortunately there a couple of ways the journal layer can cause a +deadlock. The first thing to note is that each task can only have a +single outstanding transaction at any one time, remember nothing commits +until the outermost :c:func:`jbd2_journal_stop`. This means you must complete +the transaction at the end of each file/inode/address etc. operation you +perform, so that the journalling system isn't re-entered on another +journal. Since transactions can't be nested/batched across differing +journals, and another filesystem other than yours (say ext4) may be +modified in a later syscall. + +The second case to bear in mind is that :c:func:`jbd2_journal_start` can block +if there isn't enough space in the journal for your transaction (based +on the passed nblocks param) - when it blocks it merely(!) needs to wait +for transactions to complete and be committed from other tasks, so +essentially we are waiting for :c:func:`jbd2_journal_stop`. So to avoid +deadlocks you must treat :c:func:`jbd2_journal_start` / +:c:func:`jbd2_journal_stop` as if they were semaphores and include them in +your semaphore ordering rules to prevent +deadlocks. Note that :c:func:`jbd2_journal_extend` has similar blocking +behaviour to :c:func:`jbd2_journal_start` so you can deadlock here just as +easily as on :c:func:`jbd2_journal_start`. + +Try to reserve the right number of blocks the first time. ;-). This will +be the maximum number of blocks you are going to touch in this +transaction. I advise having a look at at least ext4_jbd.h to see the +basis on which ext4 uses to make these decisions. + +Another wriggle to watch out for is your on-disk block allocation +strategy. Why? Because, if you do a delete, you need to ensure you +haven't reused any of the freed blocks until the transaction freeing +these blocks commits. If you reused these blocks and crash happens, +there is no way to restore the contents of the reallocated blocks at the +end of the last fully committed transaction. One simple way of doing +this is to mark blocks as free in internal in-memory block allocation +structures only after the transaction freeing them commits. Ext4 uses +journal commit callback for this purpose. + +With journal commit callbacks you can ask the journalling layer to call +a callback function when the transaction is finally committed to disk, +so that you can do some of your own management. You ask the journalling +layer for calling the callback by simply setting +``journal->j_commit_callback`` function pointer and that function is +called after each transaction commit. You can also use +``transaction->t_private_list`` for attaching entries to a transaction +that need processing when the transaction commits. + +JBD2 also provides a way to block all transaction updates via +:c:func:`jbd2_journal_lock_updates()` / +:c:func:`jbd2_journal_unlock_updates()`. Ext4 uses this when it wants a +window with a clean and stable fs for a moment. E.g. + +:: + + + jbd2_journal_lock_updates() //stop new stuff happening.. + jbd2_journal_flush() // checkpoint everything. + ..do stuff on stable fs + jbd2_journal_unlock_updates() // carry on with filesystem use. + +The opportunities for abuse and DOS attacks with this should be obvious, +if you allow unprivileged userspace to trigger codepaths containing +these calls. + +Summary +~~~~~~~ + +Using the journal is a matter of wrapping the different context changes, +being each mount, each modification (transaction) and each changed +buffer to tell the journalling layer about them. + +Data Types +---------- + +The journalling layer uses typedefs to 'hide' the concrete definitions +of the structures used.

Outputs can also share a single display controller, but +only if they run with compatible display timings. Two display controllers can +also share a single framebuffer, allowing cloned configurations even if modes +on two outputs don't match. A display controller is modelled as a CRTC in KMS +terms. + +On Tegra186, the number of display controllers has been increased to three. A +display controller can no longer drive all of the outputs. While two of these +controllers can drive both DSI outputs and both SOR outputs, the third cannot +drive any DSI. + +Windows +~~~~~~~ + +A display controller controls a set of windows that can be used to composite +multiple buffers onto the screen. While it is possible to assign arbitrary Z +ordering to individual windows (by programming the corresponding blending +registers), this is currently not supported by the driver. Instead, it will +assume a fixed Z ordering of the windows (window A is the root window, that +is, the lowest, while windows B and C are overlaid on top of window A). The +overlay windows support multiple pixel formats and can automatically convert +from YUV to RGB at scanout time. This makes them useful for displaying video +content. In KMS, each window is modelled as a plane. Each display controller +has a hardware cursor that is exposed as a cursor plane. + +Outputs +------- + +The type and number of supported outputs varies between Tegra SoC generations. +All generations support at least HDMI. While earlier generations supported the +very simple RGB interfaces (one per display controller), recent generations no +longer do and instead provide standard interfaces such as DSI and eDP/DP. + +Outputs are modelled as a composite encoder/connector pair. + +RGB/LVDS +~~~~~~~~ + +This interface is no longer available since Tegra124. It has been replaced by +the more standard DSI and eDP interfaces. + +HDMI +~~~~ + +HDMI is supported on all Tegra SoCs. Starting with Tegra210, HDMI is provided +by the versatile SOR output, which supports eDP, DP and HDMI. The SOR is able +to support HDMI 2.0, though support for this is currently not merged. + +DSI +~~~ + +Although Tegra has supported DSI since Tegra30, the controller has changed in +several ways in Tegra114. Since none of the publicly available development +boards prior to Dalmore (Tegra114) have made use of DSI, only Tegra114 and +later are supported by the drm/tegra driver. + +eDP/DP +~~~~~~ + +eDP was first introduced in Tegra124 where it was used to drive the display +panel for notebook form factors. Tegra210 added support for full DisplayPort +support, though this is currently not implemented in the drm/tegra driver. + +Userspace Interface +=================== + +The userspace interface provided by drm/tegra allows applications to create +GEM buffers, access and control syncpoints as well as submit command streams +to host1x. + +GEM Buffers +----------- + +The ``DRM_IOCTL_TEGRA_GEM_CREATE`` IOCTL is used to create a GEM buffer object +with Tegra-specific flags. This is useful for buffers that should be tiled, or +that are to be scanned out upside down (useful for 3D content). + +After a GEM buffer object has been created, its memory can be mapped by an +application using the mmap offset returned by the ``DRM_IOCTL_TEGRA_GEM_MMAP`` +IOCTL. + +Syncpoints +---------- + +The current value of a syncpoint can be obtained by executing the +``DRM_IOCTL_TEGRA_SYNCPT_READ`` IOCTL. Incrementing the syncpoint is achieved +using the ``DRM_IOCTL_TEGRA_SYNCPT_INCR`` IOCTL. + +Userspace can also request blocking on a syncpoint. To do so, it needs to +execute the ``DRM_IOCTL_TEGRA_SYNCPT_WAIT`` IOCTL, specifying the value of +the syncpoint to wait for. The kernel will release the application when the +syncpoint reaches that value or after a specified timeout. + +Command Stream Submission +------------------------- + +Before an application can submit command streams to host1x it needs to open a +channel to an engine using the ``DRM_IOCTL_TEGRA_OPEN_CHANNEL`` IOCTL.

This document describes the common routines and general +requirements for kernel code: its goal is to serve as a primer for Linux +kernel development for experienced C programmers. I avoid implementation +details: that's what the code is for, and I ignore whole tracts of +useful routines. + +Before you read this, please understand that I never wanted to write +this document, being grossly under-qualified, but I always wanted to +read it, and this was the only way. I hope it will grow into a +compendium of best practice, common starting points and random +information. + +The Players +=========== + +At any time each of the CPUs in a system can be: + +- not associated with any process, serving a hardware interrupt; + +- not associated with any process, serving a softirq or tasklet; + +- running in kernel space, associated with a process (user context); + +- running a process in user space. + +There is an ordering between these. The bottom two can preempt each +other, but above that is a strict hierarchy: each can only be preempted +by the ones above it. For example, while a softirq is running on a CPU, +no other softirq will preempt it, but a hardware interrupt can. However, +any other CPUs in the system execute independently. + +We'll see a number of ways that the user context can block interrupts, +to become truly non-preemptable. + +User Context +------------ + +User context is when you are coming in from a system call or other trap: +like userspace, you can be preempted by more important tasks and by +interrupts. You can sleep, by calling :c:func:`schedule()`. + +.. note:: + + You are always in user context on module load and unload, and on + operations on the block device layer. + +In user context, the ``current`` pointer (indicating the task we are +currently executing) is valid, and :c:func:`in_interrupt()` +(``include/linux/preempt.h``) is false. + +.. warning:: + + Beware that if you have preemption or softirqs disabled (see below), + :c:func:`in_interrupt()` will return a false positive. + +Hardware Interrupts (Hard IRQs) +------------------------------- + +Timer ticks, network cards and keyboard are examples of real hardware +which produce interrupts at any time. The kernel runs interrupt +handlers, which services the hardware. The kernel guarantees that this +handler is never re-entered: if the same interrupt arrives, it is queued +(or dropped). Because it disables interrupts, this handler has to be +fast: frequently it simply acknowledges the interrupt, marks a 'software +interrupt' for execution and exits. + +You can tell you are in a hardware interrupt, because +:c:func:`in_irq()` returns true. + +.. warning:: + + Beware that this will return a false positive if interrupts are + disabled (see below). + +Software Interrupt Context: Softirqs and Tasklets +------------------------------------------------- + +Whenever a system call is about to return to userspace, or a hardware +interrupt handler exits, any 'software interrupts' which are marked +pending (usually by hardware interrupts) are run (``kernel/softirq.c``). + +Much of the real interrupt handling work is done here. Early in the +transition to SMP, there were only 'bottom halves' (BHs), which didn't +take advantage of multiple CPUs. Shortly after we switched from wind-up +computers made of match-sticks and snot, we abandoned this limitation +and switched to 'softirqs'. + +``include/linux/interrupt.h`` lists the different softirqs. A very +important softirq is the timer softirq (``include/linux/timer.h``): you +can register to have it call functions for you in a given length of +time. + +Softirqs are often a pain to deal with, since the same softirq will run +simultaneously on more than one CPU. For this reason, tasklets +(``include/linux/interrupt.h``) are more often used: they are +dynamically-registrable (meaning you can have as many as you want), and +they also guarantee that any tasklet will only run on one CPU at any +time, although different tasklets can run simultaneously. + +.. warning:: + + The name 'tasklet' is misleading: they have nothing to do with + 'tasks', and probably more to do with some bad vodka Alexey + Kuznetsov had at the time. + +You can tell you are in a softirq (or tasklet) using the +:c:func:`in_softirq()` macro (``include/linux/preempt.h``). + +.. warning:: + + Beware that this will return a false positive if a + :ref:`botton half lock <local_bh_disable>` is held. + +Some Basic Rules +================ + +No memory protection + If you corrupt memory, whether in user context or interrupt context, + the whole machine will crash. Are you sure you can't do what you + want in userspace? + +No floating point or MMX + The FPU context is not saved; even in user context the FPU state + probably won't correspond with the current process: you would mess + with some user process' FPU state. If you really want to do this, + you would have to explicitly save/restore the full FPU state (and + avoid context switches). It is generally a bad idea; use fixed point + arithmetic first. + +A rigid stack limit + Depending on configuration options the kernel stack is about 3K to + 6K for most 32-bit architectures: it's about 14K on most 64-bit + archs, and often shared with interrupts so you can't use it all. + Avoid deep recursion and huge local arrays on the stack (allocate + them dynamically instead). + +The Linux kernel is portable + Let's keep it that way. Your code should be 64-bit clean, and + endian-independent. You should also minimize CPU specific stuff, + e.g. inline assembly should be cleanly encapsulated and minimized to + ease porting. Generally it should be restricted to the + architecture-dependent part of the kernel tree. + +ioctls: Not writing a new system call +===================================== + +A system call generally looks like this:: + + asmlinkage long sys_mycall(int arg) + { + return 0; + } + + +First, in most cases you don't want to create a new system call. You +create a character device and implement an appropriate ioctl for it. +This is much more flexible than system calls, doesn't have to be entered +in every architecture's ``include/asm/unistd.h`` and +``arch/kernel/entry.S`` file, and is much more likely to be accepted by +Linus. + +If all your routine does is read or write some parameter, consider +implementing a :c:func:`sysfs()` interface instead. + +Inside the ioctl you're in user context to a process. When a error +occurs you return a negated errno (see +``include/uapi/asm-generic/errno-base.h``, +``include/uapi/asm-generic/errno.h`` and ``include/linux/errno.h``), +otherwise you return 0. + +After you slept you should check if a signal occurred: the Unix/Linux +way of handling signals is to temporarily exit the system call with the +``-ERESTARTSYS`` error. The system call entry code will switch back to +user context, process the signal handler and then your system call will +be restarted (unless the user disabled that). So you should be prepared +to process the restart, e.g. if you're in the middle of manipulating +some data structure. + +:: + + if (signal_pending(current)) + return -ERESTARTSYS; + + +If you're doing longer computations: first think userspace. If you +**really** want to do it in kernel you should regularly check if you need +to give up the CPU (remember there is cooperative multitasking per CPU). +Idiom:: + + cond_resched(); /* Will sleep */ + + +A short note on interface design: the UNIX system call motto is "Provide +mechanism not policy". + +Recipes for Deadlock +==================== + +You cannot call any routines which may sleep, unless: + +- You are in user context. + +- You do not own any spinlocks. + +- You have interrupts enabled (actually, Andi Kleen says that the + scheduling code will enable them for you, but that's probably not + what you wanted). + +Note that some functions may sleep implicitly: common ones are the user +space access functions (\*_user) and memory allocation functions +without ``GFP_ATOMIC``. + +You should always compile your kernel ``CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP`` on, +and it will warn you if you break these rules. If you **do** break the +rules, you will eventually lock up your box. + +Really. + +Common Routines +=============== + +:c:func:`printk()` +------------------ + +Defined in ``include/linux/printk.h`` + +:c:func:`printk()` feeds kernel messages to the console, dmesg, and +the syslog daemon. It is useful for debugging and reporting errors, and +can be used inside interrupt context, but use with caution: a machine +which has its console flooded with printk messages is unusable. It uses +a format string mostly compatible with ANSI C printf, and C string +concatenation to give it a first "priority" argument:: + + printk(KERN_INFO "i = %u\n", i); + + +See ``include/linux/kern_levels.h``; for other ``KERN_`` values; these are +interpreted by syslog as the level. Special case: for printing an IP +address use:: + + __be32 ipaddress; + printk(KERN_INFO "my ip: %pI4\n", &ipaddress); + + +:c:func:`printk()` internally uses a 1K buffer and does not catch +overruns. Make sure that will be enough. + +.. note:: + + You will know when you are a real kernel hacker when you start + typoing printf as printk in your user programs :) + +.. note:: + + Another sidenote: the original Unix Version 6 sources had a comment + on top of its printf function: "Printf should not be used for + chit-chat". You should follow that advice. + +:c:func:`copy_to_user()` / :c:func:`copy_from_user()` / :c:func:`get_user()` / :c:func:`put_user()` +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Defined in ``include/linux/uaccess.h`` / ``asm/uaccess.h`` + +**[SLEEPS]** + +:c:func:`put_user()` and :c:func:`get_user()` are used to get +and put single values (such as an int, char, or long) from and to +userspace. A pointer into userspace should never be simply dereferenced: +data should be copied using these routines. Both return ``-EFAULT`` or +0. + +:c:func:`copy_to_user()` and :c:func:`copy_from_user()` are +more general: they copy an arbitrary amount of data to and from +userspace. + +.. warning:: + + Unlike :c:func:`put_user()` and :c:func:`get_user()`, they + return the amount of uncopied data (ie. 0 still means success). + +[Yes, this moronic interface makes me cringe. The flamewar comes up +every year or so. --RR.] + +The functions may sleep implicitly. This should never be called outside +user context (it makes no sense), with interrupts disabled, or a +spinlock held. + +:c:func:`kmalloc()`/:c:func:`kfree()` +------------------------------------- + +Defined in ``include/linux/slab.h`` + +**[MAY SLEEP: SEE BELOW]** + +These routines are used to dynamically request pointer-aligned chunks of +memory, like malloc and free do in userspace, but +:c:func:`kmalloc()` takes an extra flag word. Important values: + +``GFP_KERNEL`` + May sleep and swap to free memory. Only allowed in user context, but + is the most reliable way to allocate memory. + +``GFP_ATOMIC`` + Don't sleep. Less reliable than ``GFP_KERNEL``, but may be called + from interrupt context. You should **really** have a good + out-of-memory error-handling strategy. + +``GFP_DMA`` + Allocate ISA DMA lower than 16MB. If you don't know what that is you + don't need it. Very unreliable. + +If you see a sleeping function called from invalid context warning +message, then maybe you called a sleeping allocation function from +interrupt context without ``GFP_ATOMIC``. You should really fix that. +Run, don't walk. + +If you are allocating at least ``PAGE_SIZE`` (``asm/page.h`` or +``asm/page_types.h``) bytes, consider using :c:func:`__get_free_pages()` +(``include/linux/gfp.h``). It takes an order argument (0 for page sized, +1 for double page, 2 for four pages etc.) and the same memory priority +flag word as above. + +If you are allocating more than a page worth of bytes you can use +:c:func:`vmalloc()`. It'll allocate virtual memory in the kernel +map. This block is not contiguous in physical memory, but the MMU makes +it look like it is for you (so it'll only look contiguous to the CPUs, +not to external device drivers). If you really need large physically +contiguous memory for some weird device, you have a problem: it is +poorly supported in Linux because after some time memory fragmentation +in a running kernel makes it hard. The best way is to allocate the block +early in the boot process via the :c:func:`alloc_bootmem()` +routine. + +Before inventing your own cache of often-used objects consider using a +slab cache in ``include/linux/slab.h`` + +:c:func:`current()` +------------------- + +Defined in ``include/asm/current.h`` + +This global variable (really a macro) contains a pointer to the current +task structure, so is only valid in user context. For example, when a +process makes a system call, this will point to the task structure of +the calling process. It is **not NULL** in interrupt context. + +:c:func:`mdelay()`/:c:func:`udelay()` +------------------------------------- + +Defined in ``include/asm/delay.h`` / ``include/linux/delay.h`` + +The :c:func:`udelay()` and :c:func:`ndelay()` functions can be +used for small pauses. Do not use large values with them as you risk +overflow - the helper function :c:func:`mdelay()` is useful here, or +consider :c:func:`msleep()`. + +:c:func:`cpu_to_be32()`/:c:func:`be32_to_cpu()`/:c:func:`cpu_to_le32()`/:c:func:`le32_to_cpu()` +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Defined in ``include/asm/byteorder.h`` + +The :c:func:`cpu_to_be32()` family (where the "32" can be replaced +by 64 or 16, and the "be" can be replaced by "le") are the general way +to do endian conversions in the kernel: they return the converted value. +All variations supply the reverse as well: +:c:func:`be32_to_cpu()`, etc. + +There are two major variations of these functions: the pointer +variation, such as :c:func:`cpu_to_be32p()`, which take a pointer +to the given type, and return the converted value. The other variation +is the "in-situ" family, such as :c:func:`cpu_to_be32s()`, which +convert value referred to by the pointer, and return void. + +:c:func:`local_irq_save()`/:c:func:`local_irq_restore()` +-------------------------------------------------------- + +Defined in ``include/linux/irqflags.h`` + +These routines disable hard interrupts on the local CPU, and restore +them. They are reentrant; saving the previous state in their one +``unsigned long flags`` argument. If you know that interrupts are +enabled, you can simply use :c:func:`local_irq_disable()` and +:c:func:`local_irq_enable()`. + +.. _local_bh_disable: + +:c:func:`local_bh_disable()`/:c:func:`local_bh_enable()` +-------------------------------------------------------- + +Defined in ``include/linux/bottom_half.h`` + + +These routines disable soft interrupts on the local CPU, and restore +them. They are reentrant; if soft interrupts were disabled before, they +will still be disabled after this pair of functions has been called. +They prevent softirqs and tasklets from running on the current CPU. + +:c:func:`smp_processor_id()` +---------------------------- + +Defined in ``include/linux/smp.h`` + +:c:func:`get_cpu()` disables preemption (so you won't suddenly get +moved to another CPU) and returns the current processor number, between +0 and ``NR_CPUS``. Note that the CPU numbers are not necessarily +continuous. You return it again with :c:func:`put_cpu()` when you +are done. + +If you know you cannot be preempted by another task (ie. you are in +interrupt context, or have preemption disabled) you can use +smp_processor_id(). + +``__init``/``__exit``/``__initdata`` +------------------------------------ + +Defined in ``include/linux/init.h`` + +After boot, the kernel frees up a special section; functions marked with +``__init`` and data structures marked with ``__initdata`` are dropped +after boot is complete: similarly modules discard this memory after +initialization. ``__exit`` is used to declare a function which is only +required on exit: the function will be dropped if this file is not +compiled as a module. See the header file for use. Note that it makes no +sense for a function marked with ``__init`` to be exported to modules +with :c:func:`EXPORT_SYMBOL()` or :c:func:`EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()`- this +will break. + +:c:func:`__initcall()`/:c:func:`module_init()` +---------------------------------------------- + +Defined in ``include/linux/init.h`` / ``include/linux/module.h`` + +Many parts of the kernel are well served as a module +(dynamically-loadable parts of the kernel). Using the +:c:func:`module_init()` and :c:func:`module_exit()` macros it +is easy to write code without #ifdefs which can operate both as a module +or built into the kernel. + +The :c:func:`module_init()` macro defines which function is to be +called at module insertion time (if the file is compiled as a module), +or at boot time: if the file is not compiled as a module the +:c:func:`module_init()` macro becomes equivalent to +:c:func:`__initcall()`, which through linker magic ensures that +the function is called on boot. + +The function can return a negative error number to cause module loading +to fail (unfortunately, this has no effect if the module is compiled +into the kernel). This function is called in user context with +interrupts enabled, so it can sleep. + +:c:func:`module_exit()` +----------------------- + + +Defined in ``include/linux/module.h`` + +This macro defines the function to be called at module removal time (or +never, in the case of the file compiled into the kernel). It will only +be called if the module usage count has reached zero. This function can +also sleep, but cannot fail: everything must be cleaned up by the time +it returns. + +Note that this macro is optional: if it is not present, your module will +not be removable (except for 'rmmod -f'). + +:c:func:`try_module_get()`/:c:func:`module_put()` +------------------------------------------------- + +Defined in ``include/linux/module.h`` + +These manipulate the module usage count, to protect against removal (a +module also can't be removed if another module uses one of its exported +symbols: see below). Before calling into module code, you should call +:c:func:`try_module_get()` on that module: if it fails, then the +module is being removed and you should act as if it wasn't there. +Otherwise, you can safely enter the module, and call +:c:func:`module_put()` when you're finished. + +Most registerable structures have an owner field, such as in the +:c:type:`struct file_operations <file_operations>` structure. +Set this field to the macro ``THIS_MODULE``. + +Wait Queues ``include/linux/wait.h`` +==================================== + +**[SLEEPS]** + +A wait queue is used to wait for someone to wake you up when a certain +condition is true. They must be used carefully to ensure there is no +race condition. You declare a :c:type:`wait_queue_head_t`, and then processes +which want to wait for that condition declare a :c:type:`wait_queue_entry_t` +referring to themselves, and place that in the queue. + +Declaring +--------- + +You declare a ``wait_queue_head_t`` using the +:c:func:`DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD()` macro, or using the +:c:func:`init_waitqueue_head()` routine in your initialization +code. + +Queuing +------- + +Placing yourself in the waitqueue is fairly complex, because you must +put yourself in the queue before checking the condition. There is a +macro to do this: :c:func:`wait_event_interruptible()` +(``include/linux/wait.h``) The first argument is the wait queue head, and +the second is an expression which is evaluated; the macro returns 0 when +this expression is true, or ``-ERESTARTSYS`` if a signal is received. The +:c:func:`wait_event()` version ignores signals. + +Waking Up Queued Tasks +---------------------- + +Call :c:func:`wake_up()` (``include/linux/wait.h``);, which will wake +up every process in the queue. The exception is if one has +``TASK_EXCLUSIVE`` set, in which case the remainder of the queue will +not be woken. There are other variants of this basic function available +in the same header. + +Atomic Operations +================= + +Certain operations are guaranteed atomic on all platforms. The first +class of operations work on :c:type:`atomic_t` (``include/asm/atomic.h``); +this contains a signed integer (at least 32 bits long), and you must use +these functions to manipulate or read :c:type:`atomic_t` variables. +:c:func:`atomic_read()` and :c:func:`atomic_set()` get and set +the counter, :c:func:`atomic_add()`, :c:func:`atomic_sub()`, +:c:func:`atomic_inc()`, :c:func:`atomic_dec()`, and +:c:func:`atomic_dec_and_test()` (returns true if it was +decremented to zero). + +Yes. It returns true (i.e. != 0) if the atomic variable is zero. + +Note that these functions are slower than normal arithmetic, and so +should not be used unnecessarily. + +The second class of atomic operations is atomic bit operations on an +``unsigned long``, defined in ``include/linux/bitops.h``. These +operations generally take a pointer to the bit pattern, and a bit +number: 0 is the least significant bit. :c:func:`set_bit()`, +:c:func:`clear_bit()` and :c:func:`change_bit()` set, clear, +and flip the given bit. :c:func:`test_and_set_bit()`, +:c:func:`test_and_clear_bit()` and +:c:func:`test_and_change_bit()` do the same thing, except return +true if the bit was previously set; these are particularly useful for +atomically setting flags. + +It is possible to call these operations with bit indices greater than +``BITS_PER_LONG``. The resulting behavior is strange on big-endian +platforms though so it is a good idea not to do this. + +Symbols +======= + +Within the kernel proper, the normal linking rules apply (ie. unless a +symbol is declared to be file scope with the ``static`` keyword, it can +be used anywhere in the kernel). However, for modules, a special +exported symbol table is kept which limits the entry points to the +kernel proper. Modules can also export symbols. + +:c:func:`EXPORT_SYMBOL()` +------------------------- + +Defined in ``include/linux/export.h`` + +This is the classic method of exporting a symbol: dynamically loaded +modules will be able to use the symbol as normal. + +:c:func:`EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()` +----------------------------- + +Defined in ``include/linux/export.h`` + +Similar to :c:func:`EXPORT_SYMBOL()` except that the symbols +exported by :c:func:`EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()` can only be seen by +modules with a :c:func:`MODULE_LICENSE()` that specifies a GPL +compatible license. It implies that the function is considered an +internal implementation issue, and not really an interface. Some +maintainers and developers may however require EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() +when adding any new APIs or functionality. + +Routines and Conventions +======================== + +Double-linked lists ``include/linux/list.h`` +-------------------------------------------- + +There used to be three sets of linked-list routines in the kernel +headers, but this one is the winner. If you don't have some particular +pressing need for a single list, it's a good choice. + +In particular, :c:func:`list_for_each_entry()` is useful. + +Return Conventions +------------------ + +For code called in user context, it's very common to defy C convention, +and return 0 for success, and a negative error number (eg. ``-EFAULT``) for +failure. This can be unintuitive at first, but it's fairly widespread in +the kernel. + +Using :c:func:`ERR_PTR()` (``include/linux/err.h``) to encode a +negative error number into a pointer, and :c:func:`IS_ERR()` and +:c:func:`PTR_ERR()` to get it back out again: avoids a separate +pointer parameter for the error number. Icky, but in a good way. + +Breaking Compilation +-------------------- + +Linus and the other developers sometimes change function or structure +names in development kernels; this is not done just to keep everyone on +their toes: it reflects a fundamental change (eg. can no longer be +called with interrupts on, or does extra checks, or doesn't do checks +which were caught before). Usually this is accompanied by a fairly +complete note to the linux-kernel mailing list; search the archive. +Simply doing a global replace on the file usually makes things **worse**. + +Initializing structure members +------------------------------ + +The preferred method of initializing structures is to use designated +initialisers, as defined by ISO C99, eg:: + + static struct block_device_operations opt_fops = { + .open = opt_open, + .release = opt_release, + .ioctl = opt_ioctl, + .check_media_change = opt_media_change, + }; + + +This makes it easy to grep for, and makes it clear which structure +fields are set. You should do this because it looks cool. + +GNU Extensions +-------------- + +GNU Extensions are explicitly allowed in the Linux kernel. Note that +some of the more complex ones are not very well supported, due to lack +of general use, but the following are considered standard (see the GCC +info page section "C Extensions" for more details - Yes, really the info +page, the man page is only a short summary of the stuff in info). + +- Inline functions + +- Statement expressions (ie. the ({ and }) constructs). + +- Declaring attributes of a function / variable / type + (__attribute__) + +- typeof + +- Zero length arrays + +- Macro varargs + +- Arithmetic on void pointers + +- Non-Constant initializers + +- Assembler Instructions (not outside arch/ and include/asm/) + +- Function names as strings (__func__). + +- __builtin_constant_p() + +Be wary when using long long in the kernel, the code gcc generates for +it is horrible and worse: division and multiplication does not work on +i386 because the GCC runtime functions for it are missing from the +kernel environment. + +C++ +--- + +Using C++ in the kernel is usually a bad idea, because the kernel does +not provide the necessary runtime environment and the include files are +not tested for it. It is still possible, but not recommended. If you +really want to do this, forget about exceptions at least. + +NUMif +----- + +It is generally considered cleaner to use macros in header files (or at +the top of .c files) to abstract away functions rather than using \`#if' +pre-processor statements throughout the source code. + +Putting Your Stuff in the Kernel +================================ + +In order to get your stuff into shape for official inclusion, or even to +make a neat patch, there's administrative work to be done: + +- Figure out whose pond you've been pissing in. Look at the top of the + source files, inside the ``MAINTAINERS`` file, and last of all in the + ``CREDITS`` file. You should coordinate with this person to make sure + you're not duplicating effort, or trying something that's already + been rejected. + + Make sure you put your name and EMail address at the top of any files + you create or mangle significantly. This is the first place people + will look when they find a bug, or when **they** want to make a change. + +- Usually you want a configuration option for your kernel hack. Edit + ``Kconfig`` in the appropriate directory. The Config language is + simple to use by cut and paste, and there's complete documentation in + ``Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt``. + + In your description of the option, make sure you address both the + expert user and the user who knows nothing about your feature. + Mention incompatibilities and issues here. **Definitely** end your + description with โif in doubt, say Nโ (or, occasionally, \`Y'); this + is for people who have no idea what you are talking about. + +- Edit the ``Makefile``: the CONFIG variables are exported here so you + can usually just add a "obj-$(CONFIG_xxx) += xxx.o" line. The syntax + is documented in ``Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt``. + +- Put yourself in ``CREDITS`` if you've done something noteworthy, + usually beyond a single file (your name should be at the top of the + source files anyway). ``MAINTAINERS`` means you want to be consulted + when changes are made to a subsystem, and hear about bugs; it implies + a more-than-passing commitment to some part of the code. + +- Finally, don't forget to read + ``Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst`` and possibly + ``Documentation/process/submitting-drivers.rst``. + +Kernel Cantrips +=============== + +Some favorites from browsing the source.

This document describes the locking systems in the Linux Kernel +in 2.6. + +With the wide availability of HyperThreading, and preemption in the +Linux Kernel, everyone hacking on the kernel needs to know the +fundamentals of concurrency and locking for SMP. + +The Problem With Concurrency +============================ + +(Skip this if you know what a Race Condition is). + +In a normal program, you can increment a counter like so: + +:: + + very_important_count++; + + +This is what they would expect to happen: + + +.. table:: Expected Results + + +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ + | Instance 1 | Instance 2 | + +====================================+====================================+ + | read very_important_count (5) | | + +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ + | add 1 (6) | | + +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ + | write very_important_count (6) | | + +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ + | | read very_important_count (6) | + +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ + | | add 1 (7) | + +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ + | | write very_important_count (7) | + +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ + +This is what might happen: + +.. table:: Possible Results + + +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ + | Instance 1 | Instance 2 | + +====================================+====================================+ + | read very_important_count (5) | | + +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ + | | read very_important_count (5) | + +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ + | add 1 (6) | | + +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ + | | add 1 (6) | + +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ + | write very_important_count (6) | | + +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ + | | write very_important_count (6) | + +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ + + +Race Conditions and Critical Regions +------------------------------------ + +This overlap, where the result depends on the relative timing of +multiple tasks, is called a race condition. The piece of code containing +the concurrency issue is called a critical region. And especially since +Linux starting running on SMP machines, they became one of the major +issues in kernel design and implementation. + +Preemption can have the same effect, even if there is only one CPU: by +preempting one task during the critical region, we have exactly the same +race condition. In this case the thread which preempts might run the +critical region itself. + +The solution is to recognize when these simultaneous accesses occur, and +use locks to make sure that only one instance can enter the critical +region at any time. There are many friendly primitives in the Linux +kernel to help you do this. And then there are the unfriendly +primitives, but I'll pretend they don't exist. + +Locking in the Linux Kernel +=========================== + +If I could give you one piece of advice: never sleep with anyone crazier +than yourself. But if I had to give you advice on locking: **keep it +simple**. + +Be reluctant to introduce new locks. + +Strangely enough, this last one is the exact reverse of my advice when +you **have** slept with someone crazier than yourself. And you should +think about getting a big dog. + +Two Main Types of Kernel Locks: Spinlocks and Mutexes +----------------------------------------------------- + +There are two main types of kernel locks. The fundamental type is the +spinlock (``include/asm/spinlock.h``), which is a very simple +single-holder lock: if you can't get the spinlock, you keep trying +(spinning) until you can. Spinlocks are very small and fast, and can be +used anywhere. + +The second type is a mutex (``include/linux/mutex.h``): it is like a +spinlock, but you may block holding a mutex. If you can't lock a mutex, +your task will suspend itself, and be woken up when the mutex is +released. This means the CPU can do something else while you are +waiting. There are many cases when you simply can't sleep (see +`What Functions Are Safe To Call From Interrupts? <#sleeping-things>`__), +and so have to use a spinlock instead. + +Neither type of lock is recursive: see +`Deadlock: Simple and Advanced <#deadlock>`__. + +Locks and Uniprocessor Kernels +------------------------------ + +For kernels compiled without ``CONFIG_SMP``, and without +``CONFIG_PREEMPT`` spinlocks do not exist at all. This is an excellent +design decision: when no-one else can run at the same time, there is no +reason to have a lock. + +If the kernel is compiled without ``CONFIG_SMP``, but ``CONFIG_PREEMPT`` +is set, then spinlocks simply disable preemption, which is sufficient to +prevent any races. For most purposes, we can think of preemption as +equivalent to SMP, and not worry about it separately. + +You should always test your locking code with ``CONFIG_SMP`` and +``CONFIG_PREEMPT`` enabled, even if you don't have an SMP test box, +because it will still catch some kinds of locking bugs. + +Mutexes still exist, because they are required for synchronization +between user contexts, as we will see below. + +Locking Only In User Context +---------------------------- + +If you have a data structure which is only ever accessed from user +context, then you can use a simple mutex (``include/linux/mutex.h``) to +protect it. This is the most trivial case: you initialize the mutex. +Then you can call :c:func:`mutex_lock_interruptible()` to grab the +mutex, and :c:func:`mutex_unlock()` to release it. There is also a +:c:func:`mutex_lock()`, which should be avoided, because it will +not return if a signal is received. + +Example: ``net/netfilter/nf_sockopt.c`` allows registration of new +:c:func:`setsockopt()` and :c:func:`getsockopt()` calls, with +:c:func:`nf_register_sockopt()`. Registration and de-registration +are only done on module load and unload (and boot time, where there is +no concurrency), and the list of registrations is only consulted for an +unknown :c:func:`setsockopt()` or :c:func:`getsockopt()` system +call. The ``nf_sockopt_mutex`` is perfect to protect this, especially +since the setsockopt and getsockopt calls may well sleep. + +Locking Between User Context and Softirqs +----------------------------------------- + +If a softirq shares data with user context, you have two problems. +Firstly, the current user context can be interrupted by a softirq, and +secondly, the critical region could be entered from another CPU. This is +where :c:func:`spin_lock_bh()` (``include/linux/spinlock.h``) is +used. It disables softirqs on that CPU, then grabs the lock. +:c:func:`spin_unlock_bh()` does the reverse. (The '_bh' suffix is +a historical reference to "Bottom Halves", the old name for software +interrupts. It should really be called spin_lock_softirq()' in a +perfect world). + +Note that you can also use :c:func:`spin_lock_irq()` or +:c:func:`spin_lock_irqsave()` here, which stop hardware interrupts +as well: see `Hard IRQ Context <#hardirq-context>`__. + +This works perfectly for UP as well: the spin lock vanishes, and this +macro simply becomes :c:func:`local_bh_disable()` +(``include/linux/interrupt.h``), which protects you from the softirq +being run. + +Locking Between User Context and Tasklets +----------------------------------------- + +This is exactly the same as above, because tasklets are actually run +from a softirq. + +Locking Between User Context and Timers +--------------------------------------- + +This, too, is exactly the same as above, because timers are actually run +from a softirq. From a locking point of view, tasklets and timers are +identical. + +Locking Between Tasklets/Timers +------------------------------- + +Sometimes a tasklet or timer might want to share data with another +tasklet or timer. + +The Same Tasklet/Timer +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Since a tasklet is never run on two CPUs at once, you don't need to +worry about your tasklet being reentrant (running twice at once), even +on SMP. + +Different Tasklets/Timers +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +If another tasklet/timer wants to share data with your tasklet or timer +, you will both need to use :c:func:`spin_lock()` and +:c:func:`spin_unlock()` calls. :c:func:`spin_lock_bh()` is +unnecessary here, as you are already in a tasklet, and none will be run +on the same CPU. + +Locking Between Softirqs +------------------------ + +Often a softirq might want to share data with itself or a tasklet/timer. + +The Same Softirq +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The same softirq can run on the other CPUs: you can use a per-CPU array +(see `Per-CPU Data <#per-cpu>`__) for better performance. If you're +going so far as to use a softirq, you probably care about scalable +performance enough to justify the extra complexity. + +You'll need to use :c:func:`spin_lock()` and +:c:func:`spin_unlock()` for shared data. + +Different Softirqs +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +You'll need to use :c:func:`spin_lock()` and +:c:func:`spin_unlock()` for shared data, whether it be a timer, +tasklet, different softirq or the same or another softirq: any of them +could be running on a different CPU. + +Hard IRQ Context +================ + +Hardware interrupts usually communicate with a tasklet or softirq. +Frequently this involves putting work in a queue, which the softirq will +take out. + +Locking Between Hard IRQ and Softirqs/Tasklets +---------------------------------------------- + +If a hardware irq handler shares data with a softirq, you have two +concerns. Firstly, the softirq processing can be interrupted by a +hardware interrupt, and secondly, the critical region could be entered +by a hardware interrupt on another CPU. This is where +:c:func:`spin_lock_irq()` is used. It is defined to disable +interrupts on that cpu, then grab the lock. +:c:func:`spin_unlock_irq()` does the reverse. + +The irq handler does not to use :c:func:`spin_lock_irq()`, because +the softirq cannot run while the irq handler is running: it can use +:c:func:`spin_lock()`, which is slightly faster. The only exception +would be if a different hardware irq handler uses the same lock: +:c:func:`spin_lock_irq()` will stop that from interrupting us. + +This works perfectly for UP as well: the spin lock vanishes, and this +macro simply becomes :c:func:`local_irq_disable()` +(``include/asm/smp.h``), which protects you from the softirq/tasklet/BH +being run. + +:c:func:`spin_lock_irqsave()` (``include/linux/spinlock.h``) is a +variant which saves whether interrupts were on or off in a flags word, +which is passed to :c:func:`spin_unlock_irqrestore()`. This means +that the same code can be used inside an hard irq handler (where +interrupts are already off) and in softirqs (where the irq disabling is +required). + +Note that softirqs (and hence tasklets and timers) are run on return +from hardware interrupts, so :c:func:`spin_lock_irq()` also stops +these. In that sense, :c:func:`spin_lock_irqsave()` is the most +general and powerful locking function. + +Locking Between Two Hard IRQ Handlers +------------------------------------- + +It is rare to have to share data between two IRQ handlers, but if you +do, :c:func:`spin_lock_irqsave()` should be used: it is +architecture-specific whether all interrupts are disabled inside irq +handlers themselves. + +Cheat Sheet For Locking +======================= + +Pete Zaitcev gives the following summary: + +- If you are in a process context (any syscall) and want to lock other + process out, use a mutex. You can take a mutex and sleep + (``copy_from_user*(`` or ``kmalloc(x,GFP_KERNEL)``). + +- Otherwise (== data can be touched in an interrupt), use + :c:func:`spin_lock_irqsave()` and + :c:func:`spin_unlock_irqrestore()`. + +- Avoid holding spinlock for more than 5 lines of code and across any + function call (except accessors like :c:func:`readb()`). + +Table of Minimum Requirements +----------------------------- + +The following table lists the **minimum** locking requirements between +various contexts. In some cases, the same context can only be running on +one CPU at a time, so no locking is required for that context (eg. a +particular thread can only run on one CPU at a time, but if it needs +shares data with another thread, locking is required). + +Remember the advice above: you can always use +:c:func:`spin_lock_irqsave()`, which is a superset of all other +spinlock primitives. + +============== ============= ============= ========= ========= ========= ========= ======= ======= ============== ============== +.

You should acquire the +lock later if you then need access to the data protected with the lock. + +:c:func:`spin_trylock()` does not spin but returns non-zero if it +acquires the spinlock on the first try or 0 if not. This function can be +used in all contexts like :c:func:`spin_lock()`: you must have +disabled the contexts that might interrupt you and acquire the spin +lock. + +:c:func:`mutex_trylock()` does not suspend your task but returns +non-zero if it could lock the mutex on the first try or 0 if not. This +function cannot be safely used in hardware or software interrupt +contexts despite not sleeping. + +Common Examples +=============== + +Let's step through a simple example: a cache of number to name mappings. +The cache keeps a count of how often each of the objects is used, and +when it gets full, throws out the least used one. + +All In User Context +------------------- + +For our first example, we assume that all operations are in user context +(ie. from system calls), so we can sleep. This means we can use a mutex +to protect the cache and all the objects within it.

In this case it's +easy, since we copy the data for the user, and never let them access the +objects directly. + +There is a slight (and common) optimization here: in +:c:func:`cache_add()` we set up the fields of the object before +grabbing the lock. This is safe, as no-one else can access it until we +put it in cache. + +Accessing From Interrupt Context +-------------------------------- + +Now consider the case where :c:func:`cache_find()` can be called +from interrupt context: either a hardware interrupt or a softirq. An +example would be a timer which deletes object from the cache. + +The change is shown below, in standard patch format: the ``-`` are lines +which are taken away, and the ``+`` are lines which are added. + +:: + + --- cache.c.usercontext 2003-12-09 13:58:54.000000000 +1100 + +++ cache.c.interrupt 2003-12-09 14:07:49.000000000 +1100 + @@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ + int popularity; + }; + + -static DEFINE_MUTEX(cache_lock); + +static DEFINE_SPINLOCK(cache_lock); + static LIST_HEAD(cache); + static unsigned int cache_num = 0; + #define MAX_CACHE_SIZE 10 + @@ -55,6 +55,7 @@ + int cache_add(int id, const char *name) + { + struct object *obj; + + unsigned long flags; + + if ((obj = kmalloc(sizeof(*obj), GFP_KERNEL)) == NULL) + return -ENOMEM; + @@ -63,30 +64,33 @@ + obj->id = id; + obj->popularity = 0; + + - mutex_lock(&cache_lock); + + spin_lock_irqsave(&cache_lock, flags); + __cache_add(obj); + - mutex_unlock(&cache_lock); + + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cache_lock, flags); + return 0; + } + + void cache_delete(int id) + { + - mutex_lock(&cache_lock); + + unsigned long flags; + + + + spin_lock_irqsave(&cache_lock, flags); + __cache_delete(__cache_find(id)); + - mutex_unlock(&cache_lock); + + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cache_lock, flags); + } + + int cache_find(int id, char *name) + { + struct object *obj; + int ret = -ENOENT; + + unsigned long flags; + + - mutex_lock(&cache_lock); + + spin_lock_irqsave(&cache_lock, flags); + obj = __cache_find(id); + if (obj) { + ret = 0; + strcpy(name, obj->name); + } + - mutex_unlock(&cache_lock); + + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cache_lock, flags); + return ret; + } + +Note that the :c:func:`spin_lock_irqsave()` will turn off +interrupts if they are on, otherwise does nothing (if we are already in +an interrupt handler), hence these functions are safe to call from any +context. + +Unfortunately, :c:func:`cache_add()` calls :c:func:`kmalloc()` +with the ``GFP_KERNEL`` flag, which is only legal in user context. I +have assumed that :c:func:`cache_add()` is still only called in +user context, otherwise this should become a parameter to +:c:func:`cache_add()`. + +Exposing Objects Outside This File +---------------------------------- + +If our objects contained more information, it might not be sufficient to +copy the information in and out: other parts of the code might want to +keep pointers to these objects, for example, rather than looking up the +id every time. This produces two problems. + +The first problem is that we use the ``cache_lock`` to protect objects: +we'd need to make this non-static so the rest of the code can use it. +This makes locking trickier, as it is no longer all in one place. + +The second problem is the lifetime problem: if another structure keeps a +pointer to an object, it presumably expects that pointer to remain +valid. Unfortunately, this is only guaranteed while you hold the lock, +otherwise someone might call :c:func:`cache_delete()` and even +worse, add another object, re-using the same address. + +As there is only one lock, you can't hold it forever: no-one else would +get any work done. + +The solution to this problem is to use a reference count: everyone who +has a pointer to the object increases it when they first get the object, +and drops the reference count when they're finished with it.

And as +Alan Cox says, โLock data, not codeโ. + +Common Problems +=============== + +Deadlock: Simple and Advanced +----------------------------- + +There is a coding bug where a piece of code tries to grab a spinlock +twice: it will spin forever, waiting for the lock to be released +(spinlocks, rwlocks and mutexes are not recursive in Linux). This is +trivial to diagnose: not a +stay-up-five-nights-talk-to-fluffy-code-bunnies kind of problem. + +For a slightly more complex case, imagine you have a region shared by a +softirq and user context. If you use a :c:func:`spin_lock()` call +to protect it, it is possible that the user context will be interrupted +by the softirq while it holds the lock, and the softirq will then spin +forever trying to get the same lock. + +Both of these are called deadlock, and as shown above, it can occur even +with a single CPU (although not on UP compiles, since spinlocks vanish +on kernel compiles with ``CONFIG_SMP``\ =n. You'll still get data +corruption in the second example). + +This complete lockup is easy to diagnose: on SMP boxes the watchdog +timer or compiling with ``DEBUG_SPINLOCK`` set +(``include/linux/spinlock.h``) will show this up immediately when it +happens. + +A more complex problem is the so-called 'deadly embrace', involving two +or more locks. Say you have a hash table: each entry in the table is a +spinlock, and a chain of hashed objects. Inside a softirq handler, you +sometimes want to alter an object from one place in the hash to another: +you grab the spinlock of the old hash chain and the spinlock of the new +hash chain, and delete the object from the old one, and insert it in the +new one. + +There are two problems here. First, if your code ever tries to move the +object to the same chain, it will deadlock with itself as it tries to +lock it twice. Secondly, if the same softirq on another CPU is trying to +move another object in the reverse direction, the following could +happen: + ++-----------------------+-----------------------+ +| CPU 1 | CPU 2 | ++=======================+=======================+ +| Grab lock A -> OK | Grab lock B -> OK | ++-----------------------+-----------------------+ +| Grab lock B -> spin | Grab lock A -> spin | ++-----------------------+-----------------------+ + +Table: Consequences + +The two CPUs will spin forever, waiting for the other to give up their +lock. It will look, smell, and feel like a crash. + +Preventing Deadlock +------------------- + +Textbooks will tell you that if you always lock in the same order, you +will never get this kind of deadlock. Practice will tell you that this +approach doesn't scale: when I create a new lock, I don't understand +enough of the kernel to figure out where in the 5000 lock hierarchy it +will fit. + +The best locks are encapsulated: they never get exposed in headers, and +are never held around calls to non-trivial functions outside the same +file. You can read through this code and see that it will never +deadlock, because it never tries to grab another lock while it has that +one. People using your code don't even need to know you are using a +lock. + +A classic problem here is when you provide callbacks or hooks: if you +call these with the lock held, you risk simple deadlock, or a deadly +embrace (who knows what the callback will do?). Remember, the other +programmers are out to get you, so don't do this. + +Overzealous Prevention Of Deadlocks +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Deadlocks are problematic, but not as bad as data corruption. Code which +grabs a read lock, searches a list, fails to find what it wants, drops +the read lock, grabs a write lock and inserts the object has a race +condition. + +If you don't see why, please stay the fuck away from my code. + +Racing Timers: A Kernel Pastime +------------------------------- + +Timers can produce their own special problems with races. Consider a +collection of objects (list, hash, etc) where each object has a timer +which is due to destroy it. + +If you want to destroy the entire collection (say on module removal), +you might do the following:: + + /* THIS CODE BAD BAD BAD BAD: IF IT WAS ANY WORSE IT WOULD USE + HUNGARIAN NOTATION */ + spin_lock_bh(&list_lock); + + while (list) { + struct foo *next = list->next; + del_timer(&list->timer); + kfree(list); + list = next; + } + + spin_unlock_bh(&list_lock); + + +Sooner or later, this will crash on SMP, because a timer can have just +gone off before the :c:func:`spin_lock_bh()`, and it will only get +the lock after we :c:func:`spin_unlock_bh()`, and then try to free +the element (which has already been freed!). + +This can be avoided by checking the result of +:c:func:`del_timer()`: if it returns 1, the timer has been deleted. +If 0, it means (in this case) that it is currently running, so we can +do:: + + retry: + spin_lock_bh(&list_lock); + + while (list) { + struct foo *next = list->next; + if (!del_timer(&list->timer)) { + /* Give timer a chance to delete this */ + spin_unlock_bh(&list_lock); + goto retry; + } + kfree(list); + list = next; + } + + spin_unlock_bh(&list_lock); + + +Another common problem is deleting timers which restart themselves (by +calling :c:func:`add_timer()` at the end of their timer function). +Because this is a fairly common case which is prone to races, you should +use :c:func:`del_timer_sync()` (``include/linux/timer.h``) to +handle this case. It returns the number of times the timer had to be +deleted before we finally stopped it from adding itself back in. + +Locking Speed +============= + +There are three main things to worry about when considering speed of +some code which does locking. First is concurrency: how many things are +going to be waiting while someone else is holding a lock. Second is the +time taken to actually acquire and release an uncontended lock. Third is +using fewer, or smarter locks. I'm assuming that the lock is used fairly +often: otherwise, you wouldn't be concerned about efficiency. + +Concurrency depends on how long the lock is usually held: you should +hold the lock for as long as needed, but no longer. In the cache +example, we always create the object without the lock held, and then +grab the lock only when we are ready to insert it in the list. + +Acquisition times depend on how much damage the lock operations do to +the pipeline (pipeline stalls) and how likely it is that this CPU was +the last one to grab the lock (ie. is the lock cache-hot for this CPU): +on a machine with more CPUs, this likelihood drops fast. Consider a +700MHz Intel Pentium III: an instruction takes about 0.7ns, an atomic +increment takes about 58ns, a lock which is cache-hot on this CPU takes +160ns, and a cacheline transfer from another CPU takes an additional 170 +to 360ns. (These figures from Paul McKenney's `Linux Journal RCU +article <http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6993>`__). + +These two aims conflict: holding a lock for a short time might be done +by splitting locks into parts (such as in our final per-object-lock +example), but this increases the number of lock acquisitions, and the +results are often slower than having a single lock. This is another +reason to advocate locking simplicity. + +The third concern is addressed below: there are some methods to reduce +the amount of locking which needs to be done. + +Read/Write Lock Variants +------------------------ + +Both spinlocks and mutexes have read/write variants: ``rwlock_t`` and +:c:type:`struct rw_semaphore <rw_semaphore>`. These divide +users into two classes: the readers and the writers. If you are only +reading the data, you can get a read lock, but to write to the data you +need the write lock. Many people can hold a read lock, but a writer must +be sole holder. + +If your code divides neatly along reader/writer lines (as our cache code +does), and the lock is held by readers for significant lengths of time, +using these locks can help. They are slightly slower than the normal +locks though, so in practice ``rwlock_t`` is not usually worthwhile. + +Avoiding Locks: Read Copy Update +-------------------------------- + +There is a special method of read/write locking called Read Copy Update. +Using RCU, the readers can avoid taking a lock altogether: as we expect +our cache to be read more often than updated (otherwise the cache is a +waste of time), it is a candidate for this optimization. + +How do we get rid of read locks? Getting rid of read locks means that +writers may be changing the list underneath the readers. That is +actually quite simple: we can read a linked list while an element is +being added if the writer adds the element very carefully. For example, +adding ``new`` to a single linked list called ``list``:: + + new->next = list->next; + wmb(); + list->next = new; + + +The :c:func:`wmb()` is a write memory barrier. It ensures that the +first operation (setting the new element's ``next`` pointer) is complete +and will be seen by all CPUs, before the second operation is (putting +the new element into the list). This is important, since modern +compilers and modern CPUs can both reorder instructions unless told +otherwise: we want a reader to either not see the new element at all, or +see the new element with the ``next`` pointer correctly pointing at the +rest of the list. + +Fortunately, there is a function to do this for standard +:c:type:`struct list_head <list_head>` lists: +:c:func:`list_add_rcu()` (``include/linux/list.h``). + +Removing an element from the list is even simpler: we replace the +pointer to the old element with a pointer to its successor, and readers +will either see it, or skip over it. + +:: + + list->next = old->next; + + +There is :c:func:`list_del_rcu()` (``include/linux/list.h``) which +does this (the normal version poisons the old object, which we don't +want). + +The reader must also be careful: some CPUs can look through the ``next`` +pointer to start reading the contents of the next element early, but +don't realize that the pre-fetched contents is wrong when the ``next`` +pointer changes underneath them. Once again, there is a +:c:func:`list_for_each_entry_rcu()` (``include/linux/list.h``) +to help you. Of course, writers can just use +:c:func:`list_for_each_entry()`, since there cannot be two +simultaneous writers. + +Our final dilemma is this: when can we actually destroy the removed +element? Remember, a reader might be stepping through this element in +the list right now: if we free this element and the ``next`` pointer +changes, the reader will jump off into garbage and crash. We need to +wait until we know that all the readers who were traversing the list +when we deleted the element are finished. We use +:c:func:`call_rcu()` to register a callback which will actually +destroy the object once all pre-existing readers are finished. +Alternatively, :c:func:`synchronize_rcu()` may be used to block +until all pre-existing are finished. + +But how does Read Copy Update know when the readers are finished? The +method is this: firstly, the readers always traverse the list inside +:c:func:`rcu_read_lock()`/:c:func:`rcu_read_unlock()` pairs: +these simply disable preemption so the reader won't go to sleep while +reading the list. + +RCU then waits until every other CPU has slept at least once: since +readers cannot sleep, we know that any readers which were traversing the +list during the deletion are finished, and the callback is triggered. +The real Read Copy Update code is a little more optimized than this, but +this is the fundamental idea. + +:: + + --- cache.c.perobjectlock 2003-12-11 17:15:03.000000000 +1100 + +++ cache.c.rcupdate 2003-12-11 17:55:14.000000000 +1100 + @@ -1,15 +1,18 @@ + #include <linux/list.h> + #include <linux/slab.h> + #include <linux/string.h> + +#include <linux/rcupdate.h> + #include <linux/mutex.h> + #include <asm/errno.h> + + struct object + { + - /* These two protected by cache_lock. */ + + /* This is protected by RCU */ + struct list_head list; + int popularity; + + + struct rcu_head rcu; + + + atomic_t refcnt; + + /* Doesn't change once created. */ + @@ -40,7 +43,7 @@ + { + struct object *i; + + - list_for_each_entry(i, &cache, list) { + + list_for_each_entry_rcu(i, &cache, list) { + if (i->id == id) { + i->popularity++; + return i; + @@ -49,19 +52,25 @@ + return NULL; + } + + +/* Final discard done once we know no readers are looking. */ + +static void cache_delete_rcu(void *arg) + +{ + + object_put(arg); + +} + + + /* Must be holding cache_lock */ + static void __cache_delete(struct object *obj) + { + BUG_ON(!obj); + - list_del(&obj->list); + - object_put(obj); + + list_del_rcu(&obj->list); + cache_num--; + + call_rcu(&obj->rcu, cache_delete_rcu); + } + + /* Must be holding cache_lock */ + static void __cache_add(struct object *obj) + { + - list_add(&obj->list, &cache); + + list_add_rcu(&obj->list, &cache); + if (++cache_num > MAX_CACHE_SIZE) { + struct object *i, *outcast = NULL; + list_for_each_entry(i, &cache, list) { + @@ -104,12 +114,11 @@ + struct object *cache_find(int id) + { + struct object *obj; + - unsigned long flags; + + - spin_lock_irqsave(&cache_lock, flags); + + rcu_read_lock(); + obj = __cache_find(id); + if (obj) + object_get(obj); + - spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cache_lock, flags); + + rcu_read_unlock(); + return obj; + } + +Note that the reader will alter the popularity member in +:c:func:`__cache_find()`, and now it doesn't hold a lock.

For example, if you wanted to keep a +count of a common condition, you could use a spin lock and a single +counter. Nice and simple. + +If that was too slow (it's usually not, but if you've got a really big +machine to test on and can show that it is), you could instead use a +counter for each CPU, then none of them need an exclusive lock. See +:c:func:`DEFINE_PER_CPU()`, :c:func:`get_cpu_var()` and +:c:func:`put_cpu_var()` (``include/linux/percpu.h``). + +Of particular use for simple per-cpu counters is the ``local_t`` type, +and the :c:func:`cpu_local_inc()` and related functions, which are +more efficient than simple code on some architectures +(``include/asm/local.h``). + +Note that there is no simple, reliable way of getting an exact value of +such a counter, without introducing more locks. This is not a problem +for some uses. + +Data Which Mostly Used By An IRQ Handler +---------------------------------------- + +If data is always accessed from within the same IRQ handler, you don't +need a lock at all: the kernel already guarantees that the irq handler +will not run simultaneously on multiple CPUs. + +Manfred Spraul points out that you can still do this, even if the data +is very occasionally accessed in user context or softirqs/tasklets. The +irq handler doesn't use a lock, and all other accesses are done as so:: + + spin_lock(&lock); + disable_irq(irq); + ... + enable_irq(irq); + spin_unlock(&lock); + +The :c:func:`disable_irq()` prevents the irq handler from running +(and waits for it to finish if it's currently running on other CPUs). +The spinlock prevents any other accesses happening at the same time. +Naturally, this is slower than just a :c:func:`spin_lock_irq()` +call, so it only makes sense if this type of access happens extremely +rarely. + +What Functions Are Safe To Call From Interrupts? +================================================ + +Many functions in the kernel sleep (ie. call schedule()) directly or +indirectly: you can never call them while holding a spinlock, or with +preemption disabled. This also means you need to be in user context: +calling them from an interrupt is illegal. + +Some Functions Which Sleep +-------------------------- + +The most common ones are listed below, but you usually have to read the +code to find out if other calls are safe. If everyone else who calls it +can sleep, you probably need to be able to sleep, too. In particular, +registration and deregistration functions usually expect to be called +from user context, and can sleep. + +- Accesses to userspace: + + - :c:func:`copy_from_user()` + + - :c:func:`copy_to_user()` + + - :c:func:`get_user()` + + - :c:func:`put_user()` + +- :c:func:`kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) <kmalloc>` + +- :c:func:`mutex_lock_interruptible()` and + :c:func:`mutex_lock()` + + There is a :c:func:`mutex_trylock()` which does not sleep. + Still, it must not be used inside interrupt context since its + implementation is not safe for that. :c:func:`mutex_unlock()` + will also never sleep.

Several other security +projects (e.g. RSBAC, Medusa) have also developed flexible access +control architectures for the Linux kernel, and various projects have +developed particular access control models for Linux (e.g. LIDS, DTE, +SubDomain). Each project has developed and maintained its own kernel +patch to support its security needs. + +In response to the NSA presentation, Linus Torvalds made a set of +remarks that described a security framework he would be willing to +consider for inclusion in the mainstream Linux kernel. He described a +general framework that would provide a set of security hooks to control +operations on kernel objects and a set of opaque security fields in +kernel data structures for maintaining security attributes. This +framework could then be used by loadable kernel modules to implement any +desired model of security. Linus also suggested the possibility of +migrating the Linux capabilities code into such a module. + +The Linux Security Modules (LSM) project was started by WireX to develop +such a framework. LSM is a joint development effort by several security +projects, including Immunix, SELinux, SGI and Janus, and several +individuals, including Greg Kroah-Hartman and James Morris, to develop a +Linux kernel patch that implements this framework. The patch is +currently tracking the 2.4 series and is targeted for integration into +the 2.5 development series. This technical report provides an overview +of the framework and the example capabilities security module provided +by the LSM kernel patch. + +LSM Framework +============= + +The LSM kernel patch provides a general kernel framework to support +security modules. In particular, the LSM framework is primarily focused +on supporting access control modules, although future development is +likely to address other security needs such as auditing. By itself, the +framework does not provide any additional security; it merely provides +the infrastructure to support security modules. The LSM kernel patch +also moves most of the capabilities logic into an optional security +module, with the system defaulting to the traditional superuser logic. +This capabilities module is discussed further in +`LSM Capabilities Module <#cap>`__. + +The LSM kernel patch adds security fields to kernel data structures and +inserts calls to hook functions at critical points in the kernel code to +manage the security fields and to perform access control. It also adds +functions for registering and unregistering security modules, and adds a +general :c:func:`security()` system call to support new system calls +for security-aware applications. + +The LSM security fields are simply ``void*`` pointers. For process and +program execution security information, security fields were added to +:c:type:`struct task_struct <task_struct>` and +:c:type:`struct linux_binprm <linux_binprm>`. For filesystem +security information, a security field was added to :c:type:`struct +super_block <super_block>`. For pipe, file, and socket security +information, security fields were added to :c:type:`struct inode +<inode>` and :c:type:`struct file <file>`. For packet and +network device security information, security fields were added to +:c:type:`struct sk_buff <sk_buff>` and :c:type:`struct +net_device <net_device>`. For System V IPC security information, +security fields were added to :c:type:`struct kern_ipc_perm +<kern_ipc_perm>` and :c:type:`struct msg_msg +<msg_msg>`; additionally, the definitions for :c:type:`struct +msg_msg <msg_msg>`, struct msg_queue, and struct shmid_kernel +were moved to header files (``include/linux/msg.h`` and +``include/linux/shm.h`` as appropriate) to allow the security modules to +use these definitions. + +Each LSM hook is a function pointer in a global table, security_ops. +This table is a :c:type:`struct security_operations +<security_operations>` structure as defined by +``include/linux/security.h``. Detailed documentation for each hook is +included in this header file. At present, this structure consists of a +collection of substructures that group related hooks based on the kernel +object (e.g. task, inode, file, sk_buff, etc) as well as some top-level +hook function pointers for system operations. This structure is likely +to be flattened in the future for performance. The placement of the hook +calls in the kernel code is described by the "called:" lines in the +per-hook documentation in the header file. The hook calls can also be +easily found in the kernel code by looking for the string +"security_ops->". + +Linus mentioned per-process security hooks in his original remarks as a +possible alternative to global security hooks. However, if LSM were to +start from the perspective of per-process hooks, then the base framework +would have to deal with how to handle operations that involve multiple +processes (e.g. kill), since each process might have its own hook for +controlling the operation. This would require a general mechanism for +composing hooks in the base framework. Additionally, LSM would still +need global hooks for operations that have no process context (e.g. +network input operations). Consequently, LSM provides global security +hooks, but a security module is free to implement per-process hooks +(where that makes sense) by storing a security_ops table in each +process' security field and then invoking these per-process hooks from +the global hooks. The problem of composition is thus deferred to the +module. + +The global security_ops table is initialized to a set of hook functions +provided by a dummy security module that provides traditional superuser +logic. A :c:func:`register_security()` function (in +``security/security.c``) is provided to allow a security module to set +security_ops to refer to its own hook functions, and an +:c:func:`unregister_security()` function is provided to revert +security_ops to the dummy module hooks. This mechanism is used to set +the primary security module, which is responsible for making the final +decision for each hook. + +LSM also provides a simple mechanism for stacking additional security +modules with the primary security module. It defines +:c:func:`register_security()` and +:c:func:`unregister_security()` hooks in the :c:type:`struct +security_operations <security_operations>` structure and +provides :c:func:`mod_reg_security()` and +:c:func:`mod_unreg_security()` functions that invoke these hooks +after performing some sanity checking. A security module can call these +functions in order to stack with other modules. However, the actual +details of how this stacking is handled are deferred to the module, +which can implement these hooks in any way it wishes (including always +returning an error if it does not wish to support stacking). In this +manner, LSM again defers the problem of composition to the module. + +Although the LSM hooks are organized into substructures based on kernel +object, all of the hooks can be viewed as falling into two major +categories: hooks that are used to manage the security fields and hooks +that are used to perform access control. Examples of the first category +of hooks include the :c:func:`alloc_security()` and +:c:func:`free_security()` hooks defined for each kernel data +structure that has a security field. These hooks are used to allocate +and free security structures for kernel objects. The first category of +hooks also includes hooks that set information in the security field +after allocation, such as the :c:func:`post_lookup()` hook in +:c:type:`struct inode_security_ops <inode_security_ops>`. +This hook is used to set security information for inodes after +successful lookup operations. An example of the second category of hooks +is the :c:func:`permission()` hook in :c:type:`struct +inode_security_ops <inode_security_ops>`. This hook checks +permission when accessing an inode. + +LSM Capabilities Module +======================= + +The LSM kernel patch moves most of the existing POSIX.1e capabilities +logic into an optional security module stored in the file +``security/capability.c``. This change allows users who do not want to +use capabilities to omit this code entirely from their kernel, instead +using the dummy module for traditional superuser logic or any other +module that they desire. This change also allows the developers of the +capabilities logic to maintain and enhance their code more freely, +without needing to integrate patches back into the base kernel. + +In addition to moving the capabilities logic, the LSM kernel patch could +move the capability-related fields from the kernel data structures into +the new security fields managed by the security modules. However, at +present, the LSM kernel patch leaves the capability fields in the kernel +data structures. In his original remarks, Linus suggested that this +might be preferable so that other security modules can be easily stacked +with the capabilities module without needing to chain multiple security +structures on the security field. It also avoids imposing extra overhead +on the capabilities module to manage the security fields. However, the +LSM framework could certainly support such a move if it is determined to +be desirable, with only a few additional changes described below. + +At present, the capabilities logic for computing process capabilities on +:c:func:`execve()` and :c:func:`set\*uid()`, checking +capabilities for a particular process, saving and checking capabilities +for netlink messages, and handling the :c:func:`capget()` and +:c:func:`capset()` system calls have been moved into the +capabilities module. There are still a few locations in the base kernel +where capability-related fields are directly examined or modified, but +the current version of the LSM patch does allow a security module to +completely replace the assignment and testing of capabilities. These few +locations would need to be changed if the capability-related fields were +moved into the security field.

Various dedicated DMA channels exist for both video capture and +display paths. During transfer, the IDMAC is also capable of vertical +image flip, 8x8 block transfer (see IRT description), pixel component +re-ordering (for example UYVY to YUYV) within the same colorspace, and +even packed <--> planar conversion. It can also perform a simple +de-interlacing by interleaving even and odd lines during transfer +(without motion compensation which requires the VDIC). + +The CSI is the backend capture unit that interfaces directly with +camera sensors over Parallel, BT.656/1120, and MIPI CSI-2 busses. + +The IC handles color-space conversion, resizing (downscaling and +upscaling), horizontal flip, and 90/270 degree rotation operations. + +There are three independent "tasks" within the IC that can carry out +conversions concurrently: pre-process encoding, pre-process viewfinder, +and post-processing. Within each task, conversions are split into three +sections: downsizing section, main section (upsizing, flip, colorspace +conversion, and graphics plane combining), and rotation section. + +The IPU time-shares the IC task operations. The time-slice granularity +is one burst of eight pixels in the downsizing section, one image line +in the main processing section, one image frame in the rotation section. + +The SMFC is composed of four independent FIFOs that each can transfer +captured frames from sensors directly to memory concurrently via four +IDMAC channels. + +The IRT carries out 90 and 270 degree image rotation operations. The +rotation operation is carried out on 8x8 pixel blocks at a time. This +operation is supported by the IDMAC which handles the 8x8 block transfer +along with block reordering, in coordination with vertical flip. + +The VDIC handles the conversion of interlaced video to progressive, with +support for different motion compensation modes (low, medium, and high +motion). The deinterlaced output frames from the VDIC can be sent to the +IC pre-process viewfinder task for further conversions. The VDIC also +contains a Combiner that combines two image planes, with alpha blending +and color keying. + +In addition to the IPU internal subunits, there are also two units +outside the IPU that are also involved in video capture on i.MX: + +- MIPI CSI-2 Receiver for camera sensors with the MIPI CSI-2 bus + interface.

It has one sink pad to receive +the MIPI CSI-2 stream (usually from a MIPI CSI-2 camera sensor). It has +four source pads, corresponding to the four MIPI CSI-2 demuxed virtual +channel outputs. Multpiple source pads can be enabled to independently +stream from multiple virtual channels. + +This entity actually consists of two sub-blocks. One is the MIPI CSI-2 +core. This is a Synopsys Designware MIPI CSI-2 core. The other sub-block +is a "CSI-2 to IPU gasket". The gasket acts as a demultiplexer of the +four virtual channels streams, providing four separate parallel buses +containing each virtual channel that are routed to CSIs or video +multiplexers as described below. + +On i.MX6 solo/dual-lite, all four virtual channel buses are routed to +two video multiplexers. Both CSI0 and CSI1 can receive any virtual +channel, as selected by the video multiplexers. + +On i.MX6 Quad, virtual channel 0 is routed to IPU1-CSI0 (after selected +by a video mux), virtual channels 1 and 2 are hard-wired to IPU1-CSI1 +and IPU2-CSI0, respectively, and virtual channel 3 is routed to +IPU2-CSI1 (again selected by a video mux). + +ipuX_csiY_mux +------------- + +These are the video multiplexers. They have two or more sink pads to +select from either camera sensors with a parallel interface, or from +MIPI CSI-2 virtual channels from imx6-mipi-csi2 entity. They have a +single source pad that routes to a CSI (ipuX_csiY entities). + +On i.MX6 solo/dual-lite, there are two video mux entities. One sits +in front of IPU1-CSI0 to select between a parallel sensor and any of +the four MIPI CSI-2 virtual channels (a total of five sink pads). The +other mux sits in front of IPU1-CSI1, and again has five sink pads to +select between a parallel sensor and any of the four MIPI CSI-2 virtual +channels. + +On i.MX6 Quad, there are two video mux entities. One sits in front of +IPU1-CSI0 to select between a parallel sensor and MIPI CSI-2 virtual +channel 0 (two sink pads). The other mux sits in front of IPU2-CSI1 to +select between a parallel sensor and MIPI CSI-2 virtual channel 3 (two +sink pads). + +ipuX_csiY +--------- + +These are the CSI entities. They have a single sink pad receiving from +either a video mux or from a MIPI CSI-2 virtual channel as described +above. + +This entity has two source pads. The first source pad can link directly +to the ipuX_vdic entity or the ipuX_ic_prp entity, using hardware links +that require no IDMAC memory buffer transfer. + +When the direct source pad is routed to the ipuX_ic_prp entity, frames +from the CSI can be processed by one or both of the IC pre-processing +tasks. + +When the direct source pad is routed to the ipuX_vdic entity, the VDIC +will carry out motion-compensated de-interlace using "high motion" mode +(see description of ipuX_vdic entity). + +The second source pad sends video frames directly to memory buffers +via the SMFC and an IDMAC channel, bypassing IC pre-processing. This +source pad is routed to a capture device node, with a node name of the +format "ipuX_csiY capture". + +Note that since the IDMAC source pad makes use of an IDMAC channel, it +can do pixel reordering within the same colorspace. For example, the +sink pad can take UYVY2X8, but the IDMAC source pad can output YUYV2X8. +If the sink pad is receiving YUV, the output at the capture device can +also be converted to a planar YUV format such as YUV420. + +It will also perform simple de-interlace without motion compensation, +which is activated if the sink pad's field type is an interlaced type, +and the IDMAC source pad field type is set to none. + +This subdev can generate the following event when enabling the second +IDMAC source pad: + +- V4L2_EVENT_IMX_FRAME_INTERVAL_ERROR + +The user application can subscribe to this event from the ipuX_csiY +subdev node. This event is generated by the Frame Interval Monitor +(see below for more on the FIM). + +Cropping in ipuX_csiY +--------------------- + +The CSI supports cropping the incoming raw sensor frames. This is +implemented in the ipuX_csiY entities at the sink pad, using the +crop selection subdev API. + +The CSI also supports fixed divide-by-two downscaling indepently in +width and height. This is implemented in the ipuX_csiY entities at +the sink pad, using the compose selection subdev API. + +The output rectangle at the ipuX_csiY source pad is the same as +the compose rectangle at the sink pad. So the source pad rectangle +cannot be negotiated, it must be set using the compose selection +API at sink pad (if /2 downscale is desired, otherwise source pad +rectangle is equal to incoming rectangle). + +To give an example of crop and /2 downscale, this will crop a +1280x960 input frame to 640x480, and then /2 downscale in both +dimensions to 320x240 (assumes ipu1_csi0 is linked to ipu1_csi0_mux): + +media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0_mux':2[fmt:UYVY2X8/1280x960]" +media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0':0[crop:(0,0)/640x480]" +media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0':0[compose:(0,0)/320x240]" + +Frame Skipping in ipuX_csiY +--------------------------- + +The CSI supports frame rate decimation, via frame skipping. Frame +rate decimation is specified by setting the frame intervals at +sink and source pads. The ipuX_csiY entity then applies the best +frame skip setting to the CSI to achieve the desired frame rate +at the source pad. + +The following example reduces an assumed incoming 60 Hz frame +rate by half at the IDMAC output source pad: + +media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0':0[fmt:UYVY2X8/640x480@1/60]" +media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0':2[fmt:UYVY2X8/640x480@1/30]" + +Frame Interval Monitor in ipuX_csiY +----------------------------------- + +The adv718x decoders can occasionally send corrupt fields during +NTSC/PAL signal re-sync (too little or too many video lines). When +this happens, the IPU triggers a mechanism to re-establish vertical +sync by adding 1 dummy line every frame, which causes a rolling effect +from image to image, and can last a long time before a stable image is +recovered. Or sometimes the mechanism doesn't work at all, causing a +permanent split image (one frame contains lines from two consecutive +captured images). + +From experiment it was found that during image rolling, the frame +intervals (elapsed time between two EOF's) drop below the nominal +value for the current standard, by about one frame time (60 usec), +and remain at that value until rolling stops. + +While the reason for this observation isn't known (the IPU dummy +line mechanism should show an increase in the intervals by 1 line +time every frame, not a fixed value), we can use it to detect the +corrupt fields using a frame interval monitor. If the FIM detects a +bad frame interval, the ipuX_csiY subdev will send the event +V4L2_EVENT_IMX_FRAME_INTERVAL_ERROR. Userland can register with +the FIM event notification on the ipuX_csiY subdev device node. +Userland can issue a streaming restart when this event is received +to correct the rolling/split image. + +The ipuX_csiY subdev includes custom controls to tweak some dials for +FIM. If one of these controls is changed during streaming, the FIM will +be reset and will continue at the new settings. + +- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ENABLE + +Enable/disable the FIM. + +- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_NUM + +How many frame interval measurements to average before comparing against +the nominal frame interval reported by the sensor.

This can be used to +discard really high interval errors that might be due to interrupt +latency from high system load. + +- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_NUM_SKIP + +How many frames to skip after a FIM reset or stream restart before +FIM begins to average intervals. + +- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ICAP_CHANNEL +- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ICAP_EDGE + +These controls will configure an input capture channel as the method +for measuring frame intervals. This is superior to the default method +of measuring frame intervals via EOF interrupt, since it is not subject +to uncertainty errors introduced by interrupt latency. + +Input capture requires hardware support. A VSYNC signal must be routed +to one of the i.MX6 input capture channel pads. + +V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ICAP_CHANNEL configures which i.MX6 input capture +channel to use. This must be 0 or 1. + +V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ICAP_EDGE configures which signal edge will trigger +input capture events. By default the input capture method is disabled +with a value of IRQ_TYPE_NONE. Set this control to IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING, +IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING, or IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_BOTH to enable input capture, +triggered on the given signal edge(s). + +When input capture is disabled, frame intervals will be measured via +EOF interrupt. + + +ipuX_vdic +--------- + +The VDIC carries out motion compensated de-interlacing, with three +motion compensation modes: low, medium, and high motion. The mode is +specified with the menu control V4L2_CID_DEINTERLACING_MODE. It has +two sink pads and a single source pad. + +The direct sink pad receives from an ipuX_csiY direct pad. With this +link the VDIC can only operate in high motion mode. + +When the IDMAC sink pad is activated, it receives from an output +or mem2mem device node. With this pipeline, it can also operate +in low and medium modes, because these modes require receiving +frames from memory buffers. Note that an output or mem2mem device +is not implemented yet, so this sink pad currently has no links. + +The source pad routes to the IC pre-processing entity ipuX_ic_prp. + +ipuX_ic_prp +----------- + +This is the IC pre-processing entity. It acts as a router, routing +data from its sink pad to one or both of its source pads. + +It has a single sink pad. The sink pad can receive from the ipuX_csiY +direct pad, or from ipuX_vdic. + +This entity has two source pads. One source pad routes to the +pre-process encode task entity (ipuX_ic_prpenc), the other to the +pre-process viewfinder task entity (ipuX_ic_prpvf). Both source pads +can be activated at the same time if the sink pad is receiving from +ipuX_csiY. Only the source pad to the pre-process viewfinder task entity +can be activated if the sink pad is receiving from ipuX_vdic (frames +from the VDIC can only be processed by the pre-process viewfinder task). + +ipuX_ic_prpenc +-------------- + +This is the IC pre-processing encode entity. It has a single sink +pad from ipuX_ic_prp, and a single source pad. The source pad is +routed to a capture device node, with a node name of the format +"ipuX_ic_prpenc capture". + +This entity performs the IC pre-process encode task operations: +color-space conversion, resizing (downscaling and upscaling), +horizontal and vertical flip, and 90/270 degree rotation. Flip +and rotation are provided via standard V4L2 controls. + +Like the ipuX_csiY IDMAC source, it can also perform simple de-interlace +without motion compensation, and pixel reordering. + +ipuX_ic_prpvf +------------- + +This is the IC pre-processing viewfinder entity. It has a single sink +pad from ipuX_ic_prp, and a single source pad. The source pad is routed +to a capture device node, with a node name of the format +"ipuX_ic_prpvf capture". + +It is identical in operation to ipuX_ic_prpenc, with the same resizing +and CSC operations and flip/rotation controls. It will receive and +process de-interlaced frames from the ipuX_vdic if ipuX_ic_prp is +receiving from ipuX_vdic. + +Like the ipuX_csiY IDMAC source, it can perform simple de-interlace +without motion compensation. However, note that if the ipuX_vdic is +included in the pipeline (ipuX_ic_prp is receiving from ipuX_vdic), +it's not possible to use simple de-interlace in ipuX_ic_prpvf, since +the ipuX_vdic has already carried out de-interlacing (with motion +compensation) and therefore the field type output from ipuX_ic_prp can +only be none. + +Capture Pipelines +----------------- + +The following describe the various use-cases supported by the pipelines. + +The links shown do not include the backend sensor, video mux, or mipi +csi-2 receiver links. This depends on the type of sensor interface +(parallel or mipi csi-2).

For +example, the FIM controls are available either from the ipuX_csiY +subdevs or from the active capture device. + +The following are specific usage notes for the Sabre* reference +boards: + + +SabreLite with OV5642 and OV5640 +-------------------------------- + +This platform requires the OmniVision OV5642 module with a parallel +camera interface, and the OV5640 module with a MIPI CSI-2 +interface. Both modules are available from Boundary Devices: + +https://boundarydevices.com/product/nit6x_5mp +https://boundarydevices.com/product/nit6x_5mp_mipi + +Note that if only one camera module is available, the other sensor +node can be disabled in the device tree. + +The OV5642 module is connected to the parallel bus input on the i.MX +internal video mux to IPU1 CSI0.

The OV5640 is +also connected to i2c bus 2 on the SabreLite, therefore the OV5642 and +OV5640 must not share the same i2c slave address. + +The following basic example configures unprocessed video capture +pipelines for both sensors. The OV5642 is routed to ipu1_csi0, and +the OV5640, transmitting on MIPI CSI-2 virtual channel 1 (which is +imx6-mipi-csi2 pad 2), is routed to ipu1_csi1.

The kernel provides a +core interface layer that is designed to make it easy to provide WAN +services using this chip. + +The current driver only support synchronous operation. Merging the +asynchronous driver support into this code to allow any Z85x30 device to +be used as both a tty interface and as a synchronous controller is a +project for Linux post the 2.4 release + +Driver Modes +============ + +The Z85230 driver layer can drive Z8530, Z85C30 and Z85230 devices in +three different modes. Each mode can be applied to an individual channel +on the chip (each chip has two channels). + +The PIO synchronous mode supports the most common Z8530 wiring. Here the +chip is interface to the I/O and interrupt facilities of the host +machine but not to the DMA subsystem. When running PIO the Z8530 has +extremely tight timing requirements. Doing high speeds, even with a +Z85230 will be tricky. Typically you should expect to achieve at best +9600 baud with a Z8C530 and 64Kbits with a Z85230. + +The DMA mode supports the chip when it is configured to use dual DMA +channels on an ISA bus. The better cards tend to support this mode of +operation for a single channel. With DMA running the Z85230 tops out +when it starts to hit ISA DMA constraints at about 512Kbits. It is worth +noting here that many PC machines hang or crash when the chip is driven +fast enough to hold the ISA bus solid. + +Transmit DMA mode uses a single DMA channel. The DMA channel is used for +transmission as the transmit FIFO is smaller than the receive FIFO. it +gives better performance than pure PIO mode but is nowhere near as ideal +as pure DMA mode. + +Using the Z85230 driver +======================= + +The Z85230 driver provides the back end interface to your board. To +configure a Z8530 interface you need to detect the board and to identify +its ports and interrupt resources. It is also your problem to verify the +resources are available. + +Having identified the chip you need to fill in a struct z8530_dev, +which describes each chip. This object must exist until you finally +shutdown the board. Firstly zero the active field. This ensures nothing +goes off without you intending it. The irq field should be set to the +interrupt number of the chip. (Each chip has a single interrupt source +rather than each channel). You are responsible for allocating the +interrupt line. The interrupt handler should be set to +:c:func:`z8530_interrupt()`. The device id should be set to the +z8530_dev structure pointer. Whether the interrupt can be shared or not +is board dependent, and up to you to initialise. + +The structure holds two channel structures. Initialise chanA.ctrlio and +chanA.dataio with the address of the control and data ports. You can or +this with Z8530_PORT_SLEEP to indicate your interface needs the 5uS +delay for chip settling done in software. The PORT_SLEEP option is +architecture specific. Other flags may become available on future +platforms, eg for MMIO. Initialise the chanA.irqs to &z8530_nop to +start the chip up as disabled and discarding interrupt events. This +ensures that stray interrupts will be mopped up and not hang the bus. +Set chanA.dev to point to the device structure itself. The private and +name field you may use as you wish. The private field is unused by the +Z85230 layer. The name is used for error reporting and it may thus make +sense to make it match the network name. + +Repeat the same operation with the B channel if your chip has both +channels wired to something useful. This isn't always the case. If it is +not wired then the I/O values do not matter, but you must initialise +chanB.dev. + +If your board has DMA facilities then initialise the txdma and rxdma +fields for the relevant channels. You must also allocate the ISA DMA +channels and do any necessary board level initialisation to configure +them. The low level driver will do the Z8530 and DMA controller +programming but not board specific magic. + +Having initialised the device you can then call +:c:func:`z8530_init()`. This will probe the chip and reset it into +a known state. An identification sequence is then run to identify the +chip type. If the checks fail to pass the function returns a non zero +error code. Typically this indicates that the port given is not valid. +After this call the type field of the z8530_dev structure is +initialised to either Z8530, Z85C30 or Z85230 according to the chip +found. + +Once you have called z8530_init you can also make use of the utility +function :c:func:`z8530_describe()`. This provides a consistent +reporting format for the Z8530 devices, and allows all the drivers to +provide consistent reporting. + +Attaching Network Interfaces +============================ + +If you wish to use the network interface facilities of the driver, then +you need to attach a network device to each channel that is present and +in use. In addition to use the generic HDLC you need to follow some +additional plumbing rules. They may seem complex but a look at the +example hostess_sv11 driver should reassure you. + +The network device used for each channel should be pointed to by the +netdevice field of each channel. The hdlc-> priv field of the network +device points to your private data - you will need to be able to find +your private data from this. + +The way most drivers approach this particular problem is to create a +structure holding the Z8530 device definition and put that into the +private field of the network device. The network device fields of the +channels then point back to the network devices. + +If you wish to use the generic HDLC then you need to register the HDLC +device. + +Before you register your network device you will also need to provide +suitable handlers for most of the network device callbacks. See the +network device documentation for more details on this. + +Configuring And Activating The Port +=================================== + +The Z85230 driver provides helper functions and tables to load the port +registers on the Z8530 chips. When programming the register settings for +a channel be aware that the documentation recommends initialisation +orders. Strange things happen when these are not followed. + +:c:func:`z8530_channel_load()` takes an array of pairs of +initialisation values in an array of u8 type. The first value is the +Z8530 register number. Add 16 to indicate the alternate register bank on +the later chips. The array is terminated by a 255. + +The driver provides a pair of public tables. The z8530_hdlc_kilostream +table is for the UK 'Kilostream' service and also happens to cover most +other end host configurations. The z8530_hdlc_kilostream_85230 table +is the same configuration using the enhancements of the 85230 chip. The +configuration loaded is standard NRZ encoded synchronous data with HDLC +bitstuffing. All of the timing is taken from the other end of the link. + +When writing your own tables be aware that the driver internally tracks +register values. It may need to reload values. You should therefore be +sure to set registers 1-7, 9-11, 14 and 15 in all configurations. Where +the register settings depend on DMA selection the driver will update the +bits itself when you open or close. Loading a new table with the +interface open is not recommended. + +There are three standard configurations supported by the core code. In +PIO mode the interface is programmed up to use interrupt driven PIO. +This places high demands on the host processor to avoid latency. The +driver is written to take account of latency issues but it cannot avoid +latencies caused by other drivers, notably IDE in PIO mode. Because the +drivers allocate buffers you must also prevent MTU changes while the +port is open. + +Once the port is open it will call the rx_function of each channel +whenever a completed packet arrived. This is invoked from interrupt +context and passes you the channel and a network buffer (struct +sk_buff) holding the data. The data includes the CRC bytes so most +users will want to trim the last two bytes before processing the data. +This function is very timing critical. When you wish to simply discard +data the support code provides the function +:c:func:`z8530_null_rx()` to discard the data. + +To active PIO mode sending and receiving the ``z8530_sync_open`` is called. +This expects to be passed the network device and the channel. Typically +this is called from your network device open callback. On a failure a +non zero error status is returned. +The :c:func:`z8530_sync_close()` function shuts down a PIO +channel. This must be done before the channel is opened again and before +the driver shuts down and unloads. + +The ideal mode of operation is dual channel DMA mode. Here the kernel +driver will configure the board for DMA in both directions. The driver +also handles ISA DMA issues such as controller programming and the +memory range limit for you. This mode is activated by calling the +:c:func:`z8530_sync_dma_open()` function. On failure a non zero +error value is returned. Once this mode is activated it can be shut down +by calling the :c:func:`z8530_sync_dma_close()`. You must call +the close function matching the open mode you used. + +The final supported mode uses a single DMA channel to drive the transmit +side. As the Z85C30 has a larger FIFO on the receive channel this tends +to increase the maximum speed a little. This is activated by calling the +``z8530_sync_txdma_open``. This returns a non zero error code on failure. The +:c:func:`z8530_sync_txdma_close()` function closes down the Z8530 +interface from this mode. + +Network Layer Functions +======================= + +The Z8530 layer provides functions to queue packets for transmission. +The driver internally buffers the frame currently being transmitted and +one further frame (in order to keep back to back transmission running). +Any further buffering is up to the caller. + +The function :c:func:`z8530_queue_xmit()` takes a network buffer +in sk_buff format and queues it for transmission. The caller must +provide the entire packet with the exception of the bitstuffing and CRC. +This is normally done by the caller via the generic HDLC interface +layer. It returns 0 if the buffer has been queued and non zero values +for queue full. If the function accepts the buffer it becomes property +of the Z8530 layer and the caller should not free it. + +The function :c:func:`z8530_get_stats()` returns a pointer to an +internally maintained per interface statistics block. This provides most +of the interface code needed to implement the network layer get_stats +callback. + +Porting The Z8530 Driver +======================== + +The Z8530 driver is written to be portable. In DMA mode it makes +assumptions about the use of ISA DMA. These are probably warranted in +most cases as the Z85230 in particular was designed to glue to PC type +machines. The PIO mode makes no real assumptions. + +Should you need to retarget the Z8530 driver to another architecture the +only code that should need changing are the port I/O functions. At the +moment these assume PC I/O port accesses. This may not be appropriate +for all platforms. Replacing :c:func:`z8530_read_port()` and +``z8530_write_port`` is intended to be all that is required to port +this driver layer. + +Known Bugs And Assumptions +========================== + +Interrupt Locking + The locking in the driver is done via the global cli/sti lock. This + makes for relatively poor SMP performance. Switching this to use a + per device spin lock would probably materially improve performance. + +Occasional Failures + We have reports of occasional failures when run for very long + periods of time and the driver starts to receive junk frames. At the + moment the cause of this is not clear. + +Public Functions Provided +========================= + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/net/wan/z85230.c + :export: + +Internal Functions +================== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/net/wan/z85230.c + :internal: diff --git a/Documentation/power/power_supply_class.txt b/Documentation/power/power_supply_class.txt index 0c72588bd967..300d37896e51 100644 --- a/Documentation/power/power_supply_class.txt +++ b/Documentation/power/power_supply_class.txt @@ -115,28 +115,33 @@ of charge when battery became full/empty".

Usually the external debug mode is well known as the external +debugger connects with SoC from JTAG port; on the other hand the program can +explore debugging method which rely on self-hosted debug mode, this document +is to focus on this part. + +The debug module provides sample-based profiling extension, which can be used +to sample CPU program counter, secure state and exception level, etc; usually +every CPU has one dedicated debug module to be connected. Based on self-hosted +debug mechanism, Linux kernel can access these related registers from mmio +region when the kernel panic happens. The callback notifier for kernel panic +will dump related registers for every CPU; finally this is good for assistant +analysis for panic. + + +Implementation +-------------- + +- During driver registration, it uses EDDEVID and EDDEVID1 - two device ID + registers to decide if sample-based profiling is implemented or not. On some + platforms this hardware feature is fully or partially implemented; and if + this feature is not supported then registration will fail. + +- At the time this documentation was written, the debug driver mainly relies on + information gathered by the kernel panic callback notifier from three + sampling registers: EDPCSR, EDVIDSR and EDCIDSR: from EDPCSR we can get + program counter; EDVIDSR has information for secure state, exception level, + bit width, etc; EDCIDSR is context ID value which contains the sampled value + of CONTEXTIDR_EL1. + +- The driver supports a CPU running in either AArch64 or AArch32 mode. The + registers naming convention is a bit different between them, AArch64 uses + 'ED' for register prefix (ARM DDI 0487A.k, chapter H9.1) and AArch32 uses + 'DBG' as prefix (ARM DDI 0487A.k, chapter G5.1). The driver is unified to + use AArch64 naming convention. + +- ARMv8-a (ARM DDI 0487A.k) and ARMv7-a (ARM DDI 0406C.b) have different + register bits definition. So the driver consolidates two difference: + + If PCSROffset=0b0000, on ARMv8-a the feature of EDPCSR is not implemented; + but ARMv7-a defines "PCSR samples are offset by a value that depends on the + instruction set state". For ARMv7-a, the driver checks furthermore if CPU + runs with ARM or thumb instruction set and calibrate PCSR value, the + detailed description for offset is in ARMv7-a ARM (ARM DDI 0406C.b) chapter + C11.11.34 "DBGPCSR, Program Counter Sampling Register". + + If PCSROffset=0b0010, ARMv8-a defines "EDPCSR implemented, and samples have + no offset applied and do not sample the instruction set state in AArch32 + state". So on ARMv8 if EDDEVID1.PCSROffset is 0b0010 and the CPU operates + in AArch32 state, EDPCSR is not sampled; when the CPU operates in AArch64 + state EDPCSR is sampled and no offset are applied. + + +Clock and power domain +---------------------- + +Before accessing debug registers, we should ensure the clock and power domain +have been enabled properly.

So we can +divide into below cases: + +- On systems with a sane power controller which can behave correctly with + respect to CPU power domain, the CPU power domain can be controlled by + register EDPRCR in driver. The driver firstly writes bit EDPRCR.COREPURQ + to power up the CPU, and then writes bit EDPRCR.CORENPDRQ for emulation + of CPU power down. As result, this can ensure the CPU power domain is + powered on properly during the period when access debug related registers; + +- Some designs will power down an entire cluster if all CPUs on the cluster + are powered down - including the parts of the debug registers that should + remain powered in the debug power domain. The bits in EDPRCR are not + respected in these cases, so these designs do not support debug over + power down in the way that the CoreSight / Debug designers anticipated. + This means that even checking EDPRSR has the potential to cause a bus hang + if the target register is unpowered. + + In this case, accessing to the debug registers while they are not powered + is a recipe for disaster; so we need preventing CPU low power states at boot + time or when user enable module at the run time.

This means most requests +(kvm_make_request() calls) are followed by a call to kvm_vcpu_kick(), +and kvm_make_all_cpus_request() has the kicking of all VCPUs built +into it. + +VCPU Kicks +---------- + +The goal of a VCPU kick is to bring a VCPU thread out of guest mode in +order to perform some KVM maintenance. To do so, an IPI is sent, forcing +a guest mode exit. However, a VCPU thread may not be in guest mode at the +time of the kick. Therefore, depending on the mode and state of the VCPU +thread, there are two other actions a kick may take. All three actions +are listed below: + +1) Send an IPI. This forces a guest mode exit. +2) Waking a sleeping VCPU. Sleeping VCPUs are VCPU threads outside guest + mode that wait on waitqueues. Waking them removes the threads from + the waitqueues, allowing the threads to run again. This behavior + may be suppressed, see KVM_REQUEST_NO_WAKEUP below. +3) Nothing. When the VCPU is not in guest mode and the VCPU thread is not + sleeping, then there is nothing to do. + +VCPU Mode +--------- + +VCPUs have a mode state, ``vcpu->mode``, that is used to track whether the +guest is running in guest mode or not, as well as some specific +outside guest mode states. The architecture may use ``vcpu->mode`` to +ensure VCPU requests are seen by VCPUs (see "Ensuring Requests Are Seen"), +as well as to avoid sending unnecessary IPIs (see "IPI Reduction"), and +even to ensure IPI acknowledgements are waited upon (see "Waiting for +Acknowledgements"). The following modes are defined: + +OUTSIDE_GUEST_MODE + + The VCPU thread is outside guest mode. + +IN_GUEST_MODE + + The VCPU thread is in guest mode. + +EXITING_GUEST_MODE + + The VCPU thread is transitioning from IN_GUEST_MODE to + OUTSIDE_GUEST_MODE. + +READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES + + The VCPU thread is outside guest mode, but it wants the sender of + certain VCPU requests, namely KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH, to wait until the VCPU + thread is done reading the page tables. + +VCPU Request Internals +====================== + +VCPU requests are simply bit indices of the ``vcpu->requests`` bitmap. +This means general bitops, like those documented in [atomic-ops]_ could +also be used, e.g. :: + + clear_bit(KVM_REQ_UNHALT & KVM_REQUEST_MASK, &vcpu->requests); + +However, VCPU request users should refrain from doing so, as it would +break the abstraction. The first 8 bits are reserved for architecture +independent requests, all additional bits are available for architecture +dependent requests. + +Architecture Independent Requests +--------------------------------- + +KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH + + KVM's common MMU notifier may need to flush all of a guest's TLB + entries, calling kvm_flush_remote_tlbs() to do so. Architectures that + choose to use the common kvm_flush_remote_tlbs() implementation will + need to handle this VCPU request. + +KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD + + When shadow page tables are used and memory slots are removed it's + necessary to inform each VCPU to completely refresh the tables. This + request is used for that. + +KVM_REQ_PENDING_TIMER + + This request may be made from a timer handler run on the host on behalf + of a VCPU. It informs the VCPU thread to inject a timer interrupt. + +KVM_REQ_UNHALT + + This request may be made from the KVM common function kvm_vcpu_block(), + which is used to emulate an instruction that causes a CPU to halt until + one of an architectural specific set of events and/or interrupts is + received (determined by checking kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable()). When that + event or interrupt arrives kvm_vcpu_block() makes the request. This is + in contrast to when kvm_vcpu_block() returns due to any other reason, + such as a pending signal, which does not indicate the VCPU's halt + emulation should stop, and therefore does not make the request. + +KVM_REQUEST_MASK +---------------- + +VCPU requests should be masked by KVM_REQUEST_MASK before using them with +bitops. This is because only the lower 8 bits are used to represent the +request's number. The upper bits are used as flags. Currently only two +flags are defined. + +VCPU Request Flags +------------------ + +KVM_REQUEST_NO_WAKEUP + + This flag is applied to requests that only need immediate attention + from VCPUs running in guest mode. That is, sleeping VCPUs do not need + to be awaken for these requests. Sleeping VCPUs will handle the + requests when they are awaken later for some other reason. + +KVM_REQUEST_WAIT + + When requests with this flag are made with kvm_make_all_cpus_request(), + then the caller will wait for each VCPU to acknowledge its IPI before + proceeding. This flag only applies to VCPUs that would receive IPIs. + If, for example, the VCPU is sleeping, so no IPI is necessary, then + the requesting thread does not wait. This means that this flag may be + safely combined with KVM_REQUEST_NO_WAKEUP. See "Waiting for + Acknowledgements" for more information about requests with + KVM_REQUEST_WAIT. + +VCPU Requests with Associated State +=================================== + +Requesters that want the receiving VCPU to handle new state need to ensure +the newly written state is observable to the receiving VCPU thread's CPU +by the time it observes the request. This means a write memory barrier +must be inserted after writing the new state and before setting the VCPU +request bit. Additionally, on the receiving VCPU thread's side, a +corresponding read barrier must be inserted after reading the request bit +and before proceeding to read the new state associated with it. See +scenario 3, Message and Flag, of [lwn-mb]_ and the kernel documentation +[memory-barriers]_. + +The pair of functions, kvm_check_request() and kvm_make_request(), provide +the memory barriers, allowing this requirement to be handled internally by +the API. + +Ensuring Requests Are Seen +========================== + +When making requests to VCPUs, we want to avoid the receiving VCPU +executing in guest mode for an arbitrary long time without handling the +request. We can be sure this won't happen as long as we ensure the VCPU +thread checks kvm_request_pending() before entering guest mode and that a +kick will send an IPI to force an exit from guest mode when necessary. +Extra care must be taken to cover the period after the VCPU thread's last +kvm_request_pending() check and before it has entered guest mode, as kick +IPIs will only trigger guest mode exits for VCPU threads that are in guest +mode or at least have already disabled interrupts in order to prepare to +enter guest mode. This means that an optimized implementation (see "IPI +Reduction") must be certain when it's safe to not send the IPI. One +solution, which all architectures except s390 apply, is to: + +- set ``vcpu->mode`` to IN_GUEST_MODE between disabling the interrupts and + the last kvm_request_pending() check; +- enable interrupts atomically when entering the guest. + +This solution also requires memory barriers to be placed carefully in both +the requesting thread and the receiving VCPU. With the memory barriers we +can exclude the possibility of a VCPU thread observing +!kvm_request_pending() on its last check and then not receiving an IPI for +the next request made of it, even if the request is made immediately after +the check. This is done by way of the Dekker memory barrier pattern +(scenario 10 of [lwn-mb]_). As the Dekker pattern requires two variables, +this solution pairs ``vcpu->mode`` with ``vcpu->requests``. Substituting +them into the pattern gives:: + + CPU1 CPU2 + ================= ================= + local_irq_disable(); + WRITE_ONCE(vcpu->mode, IN_GUEST_MODE); kvm_make_request(REQ, vcpu); + smp_mb(); smp_mb(); + if (kvm_request_pending(vcpu)) { if (READ_ONCE(vcpu->mode) == + IN_GUEST_MODE) { + ...abort guest entry... ...send IPI... + } } + +As stated above, the IPI is only useful for VCPU threads in guest mode or +that have already disabled interrupts. This is why this specific case of +the Dekker pattern has been extended to disable interrupts before setting +``vcpu->mode`` to IN_GUEST_MODE. WRITE_ONCE() and READ_ONCE() are used to +pedantically implement the memory barrier pattern, guaranteeing the +compiler doesn't interfere with ``vcpu->mode``'s carefully planned +accesses. + +IPI Reduction +------------- + +As only one IPI is needed to get a VCPU to check for any/all requests, +then they may be coalesced. This is easily done by having the first IPI +sending kick also change the VCPU mode to something !IN_GUEST_MODE. The +transitional state, EXITING_GUEST_MODE, is used for this purpose. + +Waiting for Acknowledgements +---------------------------- + +Some requests, those with the KVM_REQUEST_WAIT flag set, require IPIs to +be sent, and the acknowledgements to be waited upon, even when the target +VCPU threads are in modes other than IN_GUEST_MODE. For example, one case +is when a target VCPU thread is in READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES mode, which +is set after disabling interrupts. To support these cases, the +KVM_REQUEST_WAIT flag changes the condition for sending an IPI from +checking that the VCPU is IN_GUEST_MODE to checking that it is not +OUTSIDE_GUEST_MODE. + +Request-less VCPU Kicks +----------------------- + +As the determination of whether or not to send an IPI depends on the +two-variable Dekker memory barrier pattern, then it's clear that +request-less VCPU kicks are almost never correct. Without the assurance +that a non-IPI generating kick will still result in an action by the +receiving VCPU, as the final kvm_request_pending() check does for +request-accompanying kicks, then the kick may not do anything useful at +all. If, for instance, a request-less kick was made to a VCPU that was +just about to set its mode to IN_GUEST_MODE, meaning no IPI is sent, then +the VCPU thread may continue its entry without actually having done +whatever it was the kick was meant to initiate. + +One exception is x86's posted interrupt mechanism. In this case, however, +even the request-less VCPU kick is coupled with the same +local_irq_disable() + smp_mb() pattern described above; the ON bit +(Outstanding Notification) in the posted interrupt descriptor takes the +role of ``vcpu->requests``. When sending a posted interrupt, PIR.ON is +set before reading ``vcpu->mode``; dually, in the VCPU thread, +vmx_sync_pir_to_irr() reads PIR after setting ``vcpu->mode`` to +IN_GUEST_MODE. + +Additional Considerations +========================= + +Sleeping VCPUs +-------------- + +VCPU threads may need to consider requests before and/or after calling +functions that may put them to sleep, e.g. kvm_vcpu_block(). Whether they +do or not, and, if they do, which requests need consideration, is +architecture dependent. kvm_vcpu_block() calls kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() +to check if it should awaken. One reason to do so is to provide +architectures a function where requests may be checked if necessary. + +Clearing Requests +----------------- + +Generally it only makes sense for the receiving VCPU thread to clear a +request. However, in some circumstances, such as when the requesting +thread and the receiving VCPU thread are executed serially, such as when +they are the same thread, or when they are using some form of concurrency +control to temporarily execute synchronously, then it's possible to know +that the request may be cleared immediately, rather than waiting for the +receiving VCPU thread to handle the request in VCPU RUN. The only current +examples of this are kvm_vcpu_block() calls made by VCPUs to block +themselves. A possible side-effect of that call is to make the +KVM_REQ_UNHALT request, which may then be cleared immediately when the +VCPU returns from the call. + +References +========== + +..
