<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
This framework is designed to provide a standard kernel
interface to control voltage and current regulators.
</para>
<para>
The intention is to allow systems to dynamically control
regulator power output in order to save power and prolong
battery life. This applies to both voltage regulators (where
voltage output is controllable) and current sinks (where current
limit is controllable).

</chapter>
<chapter id="consumer">
<title>Consumer driver interface</title>
<para>
This offers a similar API to the kernel clock framework.
Consumer drivers use <link
linkend='API-regulator-get'>get</link> and <link
linkend='API-regulator-put'>put</link> operations to acquire and
release regulators. Functions are
provided to <link linkend='API-regulator-enable'>enable</link>
and <link linkend='API-regulator-disable'>disable</link> the
reguator and to get and set the runtime parameters of the
regulator.
</para>
<para>
When requesting regulators consumers use symbolic names for their
supplies, such as "Vcc", which are mapped into actual regulator
devices by the machine interface.
</para>
<para>
A stub version of this API is provided when the regulator
framework is not in use in order to minimise the need to use
ifdefs.
</para>
<sect1 id="consumer-enable">
<title>Enabling and disabling</title>
<para>
The regulator API provides reference counted enabling and
disabling of regulators. Consumer devices use the <function><link
linkend='API-regulator-enable'>regulator_enable</link></function>
and <function><link
linkend='API-regulator-disable'>regulator_disable</link>
</function> functions to enable and disable regulators. Calls
to the two functions must be balanced.
</para>
<para>
Note that since multiple consumers may be using a regulator and
machine constraints may not allow the regulator to be disabled
there is no guarantee that calling
<function>regulator_disable</function> will actually cause the
supply provided by the regulator to be disabled. Consumer
drivers should assume that the regulator may be enabled at all
times.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="consumer-config">
<title>Configuration</title>
<para>
Some consumer devices may need to be able to dynamically
configure their supplies. For example, MMC drivers may need to
select the correct operating voltage for their cards. This may
be done while the regulator is enabled or disabled.
</para>
<para>
The <function><link
linkend='API-regulator-set-voltage'>regulator_set_voltage</link>
</function> and <function><link
linkend='API-regulator-set-current-limit'
>regulator_set_current_limit</link>
</function> functions provide the primary interface for this.
Both take ranges of voltages and currents, supporting drivers
that do not require a specific value (eg, CPU frequency scaling
normally permits the CPU to use a wider range of supply
voltages at lower frequencies but does not require that the
supply voltage be lowered). Where an exact value is required
both minimum and maximum values should be identical.
</para>

This interface provides a way to define how regulators are
connected to consumers on a given system and what the valid
operating parameters are for the system.
</para>

<title>Supplies</title>
<para>
Regulator supplies are specified using <link

</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="machine-constraint">
<title>Constraints</title>
<para>
As well as definining the connections the machine interface
also provides constraints definining the operations that
clients are allowed to perform and the parameters that may be
set. This is required since generally regulator devices will
offer more flexibility than it is safe to use on a given
system, for example supporting higher supply voltages than the
consumers are rated for.

RCU and Unloadable Modules
[Originally published in LWN Jan. 14, 2007: http://lwn.net/Articles/217484/]
RCU (read-copy update) is a synchronization mechanism that can be thought
of as a replacement for read-writer locking (among other things), but with
very low-overhead readers that are immune to deadlock, priority inversion,
and unbounded latency. RCU read-side critical sections are delimited
by rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(), which, in non-CONFIG_PREEMPT
kernels, generate no code whatsoever.
This means that RCU writers are unaware of the presence of concurrent
readers, so that RCU updates to shared data must be undertaken quite
carefully, leaving an old version of the data structure in place until all
pre-existing readers have finished. These old versions are needed because
such readers might hold a reference to them. RCU updates can therefore be
rather expensive, and RCU is thus best suited for read-mostly situations.
How can an RCU writer possibly determine when all readers are finished,
given that readers might well leave absolutely no trace of their
presence? There is a synchronize_rcu() primitive that blocks until all
pre-existing readers have completed. An updater wishing to delete an
element p from a linked list might do the following, while holding an
appropriate lock, of course:
list_del_rcu(p);
synchronize_rcu();
kfree(p);
But the above code cannot be used in IRQ context -- the call_rcu()
primitive must be used instead. This primitive takes a pointer to an
rcu_head struct placed within the RCU-protected data structure and
another pointer to a function that may be invoked later to free that
structure. Code to delete an element p from the linked list from IRQ
context might then be as follows:
list_del_rcu(p);
call_rcu(&p->rcu, p_callback);
Since call_rcu() never blocks, this code can safely be used from within
IRQ context. The function p_callback() might be defined as follows:
static void p_callback(struct rcu_head *rp)
{
struct pstruct *p = container_of(rp, struct pstruct, rcu);
kfree(p);
}
Unloading Modules That Use call_rcu()
But what if p_callback is defined in an unloadable module?
If we unload the module while some RCU callbacks are pending,
the CPUs executing these callbacks are going to be severely
disappointed when they are later invoked, as fancifully depicted at
http://lwn.net/images/ns/kernel/rcu-drop.jpg.
We could try placing a synchronize_rcu() in the module-exit code path,
but this is not sufficient. Although synchronize_rcu() does wait for a
grace period to elapse, it does not wait for the callbacks to complete.
One might be tempted to try several back-to-back synchronize_rcu()
calls, but this is still not guaranteed to work. If there is a very
heavy RCU-callback load, then some of the callbacks might be deferred
in order to allow other processing to proceed. Such deferral is required
in realtime kernels in order to avoid excessive scheduling latencies.
rcu_barrier()
We instead need the rcu_barrier() primitive. This primitive is similar
to synchronize_rcu(), but instead of waiting solely for a grace
period to elapse, it also waits for all outstanding RCU callbacks to
complete. Pseudo-code using rcu_barrier() is as follows:
1. Prevent any new RCU callbacks from being posted.
2. Execute rcu_barrier().
3. Allow the module to be unloaded.
Quick Quiz #1: Why is there no srcu_barrier()?
The rcutorture module makes use of rcu_barrier in its exit function
as follows:
1 static void
2 rcu_torture_cleanup(void)
3 {
4 int i;
5
6 fullstop = 1;
7 if (shuffler_task != NULL) {
8 VERBOSE_PRINTK_STRING("Stopping rcu_torture_shuffle task");
9 kthread_stop(shuffler_task);
10 }
11 shuffler_task = NULL;
12
13 if (writer_task != NULL) {
14 VERBOSE_PRINTK_STRING("Stopping rcu_torture_writer task");
15 kthread_stop(writer_task);
16 }
17 writer_task = NULL;
18
19 if (reader_tasks != NULL) {
20 for (i = 0; i < nrealreaders; i++) {
21 if (reader_tasks[i] != NULL) {
22 VERBOSE_PRINTK_STRING(
23 "Stopping rcu_torture_reader task");
24 kthread_stop(reader_tasks[i]);
25 }
26 reader_tasks[i] = NULL;
27 }
28 kfree(reader_tasks);
29 reader_tasks = NULL;
30 }
31 rcu_torture_current = NULL;
32
33 if (fakewriter_tasks != NULL) {
34 for (i = 0; i < nfakewriters; i++) {
35 if (fakewriter_tasks[i] != NULL) {
36 VERBOSE_PRINTK_STRING(
37 "Stopping rcu_torture_fakewriter task");
38 kthread_stop(fakewriter_tasks[i]);
39 }
40 fakewriter_tasks[i] = NULL;
41 }
42 kfree(fakewriter_tasks);
43 fakewriter_tasks = NULL;
44 }
45
46 if (stats_task != NULL) {
47 VERBOSE_PRINTK_STRING("Stopping rcu_torture_stats task");
48 kthread_stop(stats_task);
49 }
50 stats_task = NULL;
51
52 /* Wait for all RCU callbacks to fire. */
53 rcu_barrier();
54
55 rcu_torture_stats_print(); /* -After- the stats thread is stopped! */
56
57 if (cur_ops->cleanup != NULL)
58 cur_ops->cleanup();
59 if (atomic_read(&n_rcu_torture_error))
60 rcu_torture_print_module_parms("End of test: FAILURE");
61 else
62 rcu_torture_print_module_parms("End of test: SUCCESS");
63 }
Line 6 sets a global variable that prevents any RCU callbacks from
re-posting themselves. This will not be necessary in most cases, since
RCU callbacks rarely include calls to call_rcu(). However, the rcutorture
module is an exception to this rule, and therefore needs to set this
global variable.
Lines 7-50 stop all the kernel tasks associated with the rcutorture
module. Therefore, once execution reaches line 53, no more rcutorture
RCU callbacks will be posted. The rcu_barrier() call on line 53 waits
for any pre-existing callbacks to complete.
Then lines 55-62 print status and do operation-specific cleanup, and
then return, permitting the module-unload operation to be completed.
Quick Quiz #2: Is there any other situation where rcu_barrier() might
be required?
Your module might have additional complications. For example, if your
module invokes call_rcu() from timers, you will need to first cancel all
the timers, and only then invoke rcu_barrier() to wait for any remaining
RCU callbacks to complete.
Implementing rcu_barrier()
Dipankar Sarma's implementation of rcu_barrier() makes use of the fact
that RCU callbacks are never reordered once queued on one of the per-CPU
queues. His implementation queues an RCU callback on each of the per-CPU
callback queues, and then waits until they have all started executing, at
which point, all earlier RCU callbacks are guaranteed to have completed.
The original code for rcu_barrier() was as follows:
1 void rcu_barrier(void)
2 {
3 BUG_ON(in_interrupt());
4 /* Take cpucontrol mutex to protect against CPU hotplug */
5 mutex_lock(&rcu_barrier_mutex);
6 init_completion(&rcu_barrier_completion);
7 atomic_set(&rcu_barrier_cpu_count, 0);
8 on_each_cpu(rcu_barrier_func, NULL, 0, 1);
9 wait_for_completion(&rcu_barrier_completion);
10 mutex_unlock(&rcu_barrier_mutex);
11 }
Line 3 verifies that the caller is in process context, and lines 5 and 10
use rcu_barrier_mutex to ensure that only one rcu_barrier() is using the
global completion and counters at a time, which are initialized on lines
6 and 7. Line 8 causes each CPU to invoke rcu_barrier_func(), which is
shown below. Note that the final "1" in on_each_cpu()'s argument list
ensures that all the calls to rcu_barrier_func() will have completed
before on_each_cpu() returns. Line 9 then waits for the completion.
This code was rewritten in 2008 to support rcu_barrier_bh() and
rcu_barrier_sched() in addition to the original rcu_barrier().
The rcu_barrier_func() runs on each CPU, where it invokes call_rcu()
to post an RCU callback, as follows:
1 static void rcu_barrier_func(void *notused)
2 {
3 int cpu = smp_processor_id();
4 struct rcu_data *rdp = &per_cpu(rcu_data, cpu);
5 struct rcu_head *head;
6
7 head = &rdp->barrier;
8 atomic_inc(&rcu_barrier_cpu_count);
9 call_rcu(head, rcu_barrier_callback);
10 }
Lines 3 and 4 locate RCU's internal per-CPU rcu_data structure,
which contains the struct rcu_head that needed for the later call to
call_rcu(). Line 7 picks up a pointer to this struct rcu_head, and line
8 increments a global counter. This counter will later be decremented
by the callback. Line 9 then registers the rcu_barrier_callback() on
the current CPU's queue.
The rcu_barrier_callback() function simply atomically decrements the
rcu_barrier_cpu_count variable and finalizes the completion when it
reaches zero, as follows:
1 static void rcu_barrier_callback(struct rcu_head *notused)
2 {
3 if (atomic_dec_and_test(&rcu_barrier_cpu_count))
4 complete(&rcu_barrier_completion);
5 }
Quick Quiz #3: What happens if CPU 0's rcu_barrier_func() executes
immediately (thus incrementing rcu_barrier_cpu_count to the
value one), but the other CPU's rcu_barrier_func() invocations
are delayed for a full grace period? Couldn't this result in
rcu_barrier() returning prematurely?
rcu_barrier() Summary
The rcu_barrier() primitive has seen relatively little use, since most
code using RCU is in the core kernel rather than in modules. However, if
you are using RCU from an unloadable module, you need to use rcu_barrier()
so that your module may be safely unloaded.
Answers to Quick Quizzes
Quick Quiz #1: Why is there no srcu_barrier()?
Answer: Since there is no call_srcu(), there can be no outstanding SRCU
callbacks. Therefore, there is no need to wait for them.
Quick Quiz #2: Is there any other situation where rcu_barrier() might
be required?
Answer: Interestingly enough, rcu_barrier() was not originally
implemented for module unloading. Nikita Danilov was using
RCU in a filesystem, which resulted in a similar situation at
filesystem-unmount time. Dipankar Sarma coded up rcu_barrier()
in response, so that Nikita could invoke it during the
filesystem-unmount process.
Much later, yours truly hit the RCU module-unload problem when
implementing rcutorture, and found that rcu_barrier() solves
this problem as well.
Quick Quiz #3: What happens if CPU 0's rcu_barrier_func() executes
immediately (thus incrementing rcu_barrier_cpu_count to the
value one), but the other CPU's rcu_barrier_func() invocations
are delayed for a full grace period? Couldn't this result in
rcu_barrier() returning prematurely?
Answer: This cannot happen. The reason is that on_each_cpu() has its last
argument, the wait flag, set to "1". This flag is passed through
to smp_call_function() and further to smp_call_function_on_cpu(),
causing this latter to spin until the cross-CPU invocation of
rcu_barrier_func() has completed. This by itself would prevent
a grace period from completing on non-CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels,
since each CPU must undergo a context switch (or other quiescent
state) before the grace period can complete. However, this is
of no use in CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels.
Therefore, on_each_cpu() disables preemption across its call
to smp_call_function() and also across the local call to
rcu_barrier_func(). This prevents the local CPU from context
switching, again preventing grace periods from completing. This
means that all CPUs have executed rcu_barrier_func() before
the first rcu_barrier_callback() can possibly execute, in turn
preventing rcu_barrier_cpu_count from prematurely reaching zero.
Currently, -rt implementations of RCU keep but a single global
queue for RCU callbacks, and thus do not suffer from this
problem. However, when the -rt RCU eventually does have per-CPU
callback queues, things will have to change. One simple change
is to add an rcu_read_lock() before line 8 of rcu_barrier()
and an rcu_read_unlock() after line 8 of this same function. If
you can think of a better change, please let me know!

How to deal with bad memory e.g. reported by memtest86+ ?
#########################################################
There are three possibilities I know of:
1) Reinsert/swap the memory modules
2) Buy new modules (best!) or try to exchange the memory
if you have spare-parts
3) Use BadRAM or memmap
This Howto is about number 3) .
BadRAM
######
BadRAM is the actively developed and available as kernel-patch
here: http://rick.vanrein.org/linux/badram/
For more details see the BadRAM documentation.
memmap
######
memmap is already in the kernel and usable as kernel-parameter at
boot-time. Its syntax is slightly strange and you may need to
calculate the values by yourself!
Syntax to exclude a memory area (see kernel-parameters.txt for details):
memmap=<size>$<address>
Example: memtest86+ reported here errors at address 0x18691458, 0x18698424 and
some others. All had 0x1869xxxx in common, so I chose a pattern of
0x18690000,0xffff0000.
With the numbers of the example above:
memmap=64K$0x18690000
or
memmap=0x10000$0x18690000

1. Blackfin GPIO introduction
There are many GPIO pins on Blackfin. Most of these pins are muxed to
multi-functions. They can be configured as peripheral, or just as GPIO,
configured to input with interrupt enabled, or output.
For detailed information, please see "arch/blackfin/kernel/bfin_gpio.c",
or the relevant HRM.
2. Avoiding resource conflict
Followed function groups are used to avoiding resource conflict,
- Use the pin as peripheral,
int peripheral_request(unsigned short per, const char *label);
int peripheral_request_list(const unsigned short per[], const char *label);
void peripheral_free(unsigned short per);
void peripheral_free_list(const unsigned short per[]);
- Use the pin as GPIO,
int bfin_gpio_request(unsigned gpio, const char *label);
void bfin_gpio_free(unsigned gpio);
- Use the pin as GPIO interrupt,
int bfin_gpio_irq_request(unsigned gpio, const char *label);
void bfin_gpio_irq_free(unsigned gpio);
The request functions will record the function state for a certain pin,
the free functions will clear it's function state.
Once a pin is requested, it can't be requested again before it is freed by
previous caller, otherwise kernel will dump stacks, and the request
function fail.
These functions are wrapped by other functions, most of the users need not
care.
3. But there are some exceptions
- Kernel permit the identical GPIO be requested both as GPIO and GPIO
interrut.
Some drivers, like gpio-keys, need this behavior. Kernel only print out
warning messages like,
bfin-gpio: GPIO 24 is already reserved by gpio-keys: BTN0, and you are
configuring it as IRQ!
Note: Consider the case that, if there are two drivers need the
identical GPIO, one of them use it as GPIO, the other use it as
GPIO interrupt. This will really cause resource conflict. So if
there is any abnormal driver behavior, please check the bfin-gpio
warning messages.
- Kernel permit the identical GPIO be requested from the same driver twice.

Called before migration. "extra" charge is done and followed by
charge-commit-cancel protocol.
At commit, charge against oldpage or newpage will be committed.
2. Uncharge
a page/swp_entry may be uncharged (usage -= PAGE_SIZE) by
mem_cgroup_uncharge_page()
Called when an anonymous page is fully unmapped. I.e., mapcount goes
to 0. If the page is SwapCache, uncharge is delayed until
mem_cgroup_uncharge_swapcache().
mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page()
Called when a page-cache is deleted from radix-tree. If the page is
SwapCache, uncharge is delayed until mem_cgroup_uncharge_swapcache().
mem_cgroup_uncharge_swapcache()
Called when SwapCache is removed from radix-tree. The charge itself
is moved to swap_cgroup. (If mem+swap controller is disabled, no
charge to swap occurs.)
mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap()
Called when swp_entry's refcnt goes down to 0. A charge against swap
disappears.
mem_cgroup_end_migration(old, new)
At success of migration old is uncharged (if necessary), a charge
to new page is committed. At failure, charge to old page is committed.
3. charge-commit-cancel
In some case, we can't know this "charge" is valid or not at charging
(because of races).
To handle such case, there are charge-commit-cancel functions.
mem_cgroup_try_charge_XXX
mem_cgroup_commit_charge_XXX
mem_cgroup_cancel_charge_XXX
these are used in swap-in and migration.
At try_charge(), there are no flags to say "this page is charged".
at this point, usage += PAGE_SIZE.
At commit(), the function checks the page should be charged or not
and set flags or avoid charging.(usage -= PAGE_SIZE)
At cancel(), simply usage -= PAGE_SIZE.
Under below explanation, we assume CONFIG_MEM_RES_CTRL_SWAP=y.
4. Anonymous
Anonymous page is newly allocated at
- page fault into MAP_ANONYMOUS mapping.
- Copy-On-Write.
It is charged right after it's allocated before doing any page table
related operations. Of course, it's uncharged when another page is used
for the fault address.
At freeing anonymous page (by exit() or munmap()), zap_pte() is called
and pages for ptes are freed one by one.(see mm/memory.c). Uncharges
are done at page_remove_rmap() when page_mapcount() goes down to 0.
Another page freeing is by page-reclaim (vmscan.c) and anonymous
pages are swapped out. In this case, the page is marked as
PageSwapCache(). uncharge() routine doesn't uncharge the page marked
as SwapCache(). It's delayed until __delete_from_swap_cache().
4.1 Swap-in.
At swap-in, the page is taken from swap-cache. There are 2 cases.
(a) If the SwapCache is newly allocated and read, it has no charges.
(b) If the SwapCache has been mapped by processes, it has been
charged already.
This swap-in is one of the most complicated work. In do_swap_page(),
following events occur when pte is unchanged.
(1) the page (SwapCache) is looked up.
(2) lock_page()
(3) try_charge_swapin()
(4) reuse_swap_page() (may call delete_swap_cache())
(5) commit_charge_swapin()
(6) swap_free().
Considering following situation for example.
(A) The page has not been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page()
doesn't call delete_from_swap_cache().
(B) The page has not been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page()
calls delete_from_swap_cache().
(C) The page has been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page() doesn't
call delete_from_swap_cache().
(D) The page has been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page() calls
delete_from_swap_cache().
memory.usage/memsw.usage changes to this page/swp_entry will be
Case (A) (B) (C) (D)
Event
Before (2) 0/ 1 0/ 1 1/ 1 1/ 1
===========================================
(3) +1/+1 +1/+1 +1/+1 +1/+1
(4) - 0/ 0 - -1/ 0
(5) 0/-1 0/ 0 -1/-1 0/ 0
(6) - 0/-1 - 0/-1
===========================================
Result 1/ 1 1/ 1 1/ 1 1/ 1
In any cases, charges to this page should be 1/ 1.
4.2 Swap-out.
At swap-out, typical state transition is below.
(a) add to swap cache. (marked as SwapCache)
swp_entry's refcnt += 1.
(b) fully unmapped.
swp_entry's refcnt += # of ptes.
(c) write back to swap.
(d) delete from swap cache. (remove from SwapCache)
swp_entry's refcnt -= 1.
At (b), the page is marked as SwapCache and not uncharged.
At (d), the page is removed from SwapCache and a charge in page_cgroup
is moved to swap_cgroup.
Finally, at task exit,
(e) zap_pte() is called and swp_entry's refcnt -=1 -> 0.
Here, a charge in swap_cgroup disappears.
5. Page Cache
Page Cache is charged at
- add_to_page_cache_locked().
uncharged at
- __remove_from_page_cache().
The logic is very clear. (About migration, see below)
Note: __remove_from_page_cache() is called by remove_from_page_cache()
and __remove_mapping().
6. Shmem(tmpfs) Page Cache
Memcg's charge/uncharge have special handlers of shmem. The best way
to understand shmem's page state transition is to read mm/shmem.c.
But brief explanation of the behavior of memcg around shmem will be
helpful to understand the logic.
Shmem's page (just leaf page, not direct/indirect block) can be on
- radix-tree of shmem's inode.
- SwapCache.
- Both on radix-tree and SwapCache. This happens at swap-in
and swap-out,
It's charged when...
- A new page is added to shmem's radix-tree.
- A swp page is read. (move a charge from swap_cgroup to page_cgroup)
It's uncharged when
- A page is removed from radix-tree and not SwapCache.
- When SwapCache is removed, a charge is moved to swap_cgroup.
- When swp_entry's refcnt goes down to 0, a charge in swap_cgroup
disappears.
7. Page Migration
One of the most complicated functions is page-migration-handler.
Memcg has 2 routines. Assume that we are migrating a page's contents
from OLDPAGE to NEWPAGE.
Usual migration logic is..
(a) remove the page from LRU.
(b) allocate NEWPAGE (migration target)
(c) lock by lock_page().
(d) unmap all mappings.
(e-1) If necessary, replace entry in radix-tree.
(e-2) move contents of a page.
(f) map all mappings again.
(g) pushback the page to LRU.
(-) OLDPAGE will be freed.
Before (g), memcg should complete all necessary charge/uncharge to
NEWPAGE/OLDPAGE.
The point is....
- If OLDPAGE is anonymous, all charges will be dropped at (d) because
try_to_unmap() drops all mapcount and the page will not be
SwapCache.
- If OLDPAGE is SwapCache, charges will be kept at (g) because
__delete_from_swap_cache() isn't called at (e-1)
- If OLDPAGE is page-cache, charges will be kept at (g) because
remove_from_swap_cache() isn't called at (e-1)
memcg provides following hooks.
- mem_cgroup_prepare_migration(OLDPAGE)
Called after (b) to account a charge (usage += PAGE_SIZE) against
memcg which OLDPAGE belongs to.
- mem_cgroup_end_migration(OLDPAGE, NEWPAGE)
Called after (f) before (g).
If OLDPAGE is used, commit OLDPAGE again. If OLDPAGE is already
charged, a charge by prepare_migration() is automatically canceled.
If NEWPAGE is used, commit NEWPAGE and uncharge OLDPAGE.
But zap_pte() (by exit or munmap) can be called while migration,
we have to check if OLDPAGE/NEWPAGE is a valid page after commit().
8. LRU
Each memcg has its own private LRU. Now, it's handling is under global
VM's control (means that it's handled under global zone->lru_lock).
Almost all routines around memcg's LRU is called by global LRU's
list management functions under zone->lru_lock().
A special function is mem_cgroup_isolate_pages(). This scans
memcg's private LRU and call __isolate_lru_page() to extract a page
from LRU.
(By __isolate_lru_page(), the page is removed from both of global and
private LRU.)
9. Typical Tests.
Tests for racy cases.
9.1 Small limit to memcg.
When you do test to do racy case, it's good test to set memcg's limit
to be very small rather than GB. Many races found in the test under
xKB or xxMB limits.
(Memory behavior under GB and Memory behavior under MB shows very
different situation.)
9.2 Shmem
Historically, memcg's shmem handling was poor and we saw some amount
of troubles here. This is because shmem is page-cache but can be
SwapCache. Test with shmem/tmpfs is always good test.
9.3 Migration
For NUMA, migration is an another special case. To do easy test, cpuset
is useful. Following is a sample script to do migration.
mount -t cgroup -o cpuset none /opt/cpuset
mkdir /opt/cpuset/01
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/01/cpuset.cpus
echo 0 > /opt/cpuset/01/cpuset.mems
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/01/cpuset.memory_migrate
mkdir /opt/cpuset/02
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/02/cpuset.cpus
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/02/cpuset.mems
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/02/cpuset.memory_migrate
In above set, when you moves a task from 01 to 02, page migration to
node 0 to node 1 will occur. Following is a script to migrate all
under cpuset.
--
move_task()
{
for pid in $1
do
/bin/echo $pid >$2/tasks 2>/dev/null
echo -n $pid
echo -n " "
done
echo END
}
G1_TASK=`cat ${G1}/tasks`
G2_TASK=`cat ${G2}/tasks`
move_task "${G1_TASK}" ${G2} &
--
9.4 Memory hotplug.
memory hotplug test is one of good test.
to offline memory, do following.
# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state
(XXX is the place of memory)
This is an easy way to test page migration, too.
9.5 mkdir/rmdir
When using hierarchy, mkdir/rmdir test should be done.
Use tests like the following.
echo 1 >/opt/cgroup/01/memory/use_hierarchy
mkdir /opt/cgroup/01/child_a
mkdir /opt/cgroup/01/child_b
set limit to 01.
add limit to 01/child_b
run jobs under child_a and child_b
create/delete following groups at random while jobs are running.
/opt/cgroup/01/child_a/child_aa
/opt/cgroup/01/child_b/child_bb
/opt/cgroup/01/child_c
running new jobs in new group is also good.
9.6 Mount with other subsystems.
Mounting with other subsystems is a good test because there is a
race and lock dependency with other cgroup subsystems.

# mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -t cpuset,memory,cpu,devices

Exception: If CONFIG_CGROUP_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP is not used..
When you do swapoff and make swapped-out pages of shmem(tmpfs) to

caller of swapoff rather than the users of shmem.
2.4 Swap Extension (CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP)
Swap Extension allows you to record charge for swap. A swapped-in page is
charged back to original page allocator if possible.
When swap is accounted, following files are added.
- memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes.
- memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes.
usage of mem+swap is limited by memsw.limit_in_bytes.
Note: why 'mem+swap' rather than swap.
The global LRU(kswapd) can swap out arbitrary pages. Swap-out means
to move account from memory to swap...there is no change in usage of
mem+swap.
In other words, when we want to limit the usage of swap without affecting
global LRU, mem+swap limit is better than just limiting swap from OS point
of view.

6. Hierarchy support
The memory controller supports a deep hierarchy and hierarchical accounting.
The hierarchy is created by creating the appropriate cgroups in the
cgroup filesystem. Consider for example, the following cgroup filesystem
hierarchy
root
/ | \
/ | \
a b c
| \
| \
d e
In the diagram above, with hierarchical accounting enabled, all memory
usage of e, is accounted to its ancestors up until the root (i.e, c and root),
that has memory.use_hierarchy enabled. If one of the ancestors goes over its
limit, the reclaim algorithm reclaims from the tasks in the ancestor and the
children of the ancestor.
6.1 Enabling hierarchical accounting and reclaim
The memory controller by default disables the hierarchy feature. Support
can be enabled by writing 1 to memory.use_hierarchy file of the root cgroup
# echo 1 > memory.use_hierarchy
The feature can be disabled by
# echo 0 > memory.use_hierarchy
NOTE1: Enabling/disabling will fail if the cgroup already has other
cgroups created below it.
NOTE2: This feature can be enabled/disabled per subtree.

1. Add support for accounting huge pages (as a separate controller)
2. Make per-cgroup scanner reclaim not-shared pages first

3/ Use async_tx_run_dependencies() in the descriptor clean up path to

4.2 "My application needs finer control of hardware channels"
This requirement seems to arise from cases where a DMA engine driver is
trying to support device-to-memory DMA. The dmaengine and async_tx
implementations were designed for offloading memory-to-memory
operations; however, there are some capabilities of the dmaengine layer
that can be used for platform-specific channel management.
Platform-specific constraints can be handled by registering the
application as a 'dma_client' and implementing a 'dma_event_callback' to
apply a filter to the available channels in the system. Before showing
how to implement a custom dma_event callback some background of
dmaengine's client support is required.
4.2 "My application needs exclusive control of hardware channels"
Primarily this requirement arises from cases where a DMA engine driver
is being used to support device-to-memory operations. A channel that is
performing these operations cannot, for many platform specific reasons,
be shared. For these cases the dma_request_channel() interface is
provided.
The following routines in dmaengine support multiple clients requesting
use of a channel:
- dma_async_client_register(struct dma_client *client)
- dma_async_client_chan_request(struct dma_client *client)
The interface is:
struct dma_chan *dma_request_channel(dma_cap_mask_t mask,
dma_filter_fn filter_fn,
void *filter_param);
dma_async_client_register takes a pointer to an initialized dma_client
structure. It expects that the 'event_callback' and 'cap_mask' fields
are already initialized.
Where dma_filter_fn is defined as:
typedef bool (*dma_filter_fn)(struct dma_chan *chan, void *filter_param);
dma_async_client_chan_request triggers dmaengine to notify the client of
all channels that satisfy the capability mask. It is up to the client's
event_callback routine to track how many channels the client needs and
how many it is currently using. The dma_event_callback routine returns a
dma_state_client code to let dmaengine know the status of the
allocation.
When the optional 'filter_fn' parameter is set to NULL
dma_request_channel simply returns the first channel that satisfies the
capability mask. Otherwise, when the mask parameter is insufficient for
specifying the necessary channel, the filter_fn routine can be used to
disposition the available channels in the system. The filter_fn routine
is called once for each free channel in the system. Upon seeing a
suitable channel filter_fn returns DMA_ACK which flags that channel to
be the return value from dma_request_channel. A channel allocated via
this interface is exclusive to the caller, until dma_release_channel()
is called.
Below is the example of how to extend this functionality for
platform-specific filtering of the available channels beyond the
standard capability mask:
The DMA_PRIVATE capability flag is used to tag dma devices that should
not be used by the general-purpose allocator. It can be set at
initialization time if it is known that a channel will always be
private. Alternatively, it is set when dma_request_channel() finds an
unused "public" channel.
static enum dma_state_client
my_dma_client_callback(struct dma_client *client,
struct dma_chan *chan, enum dma_state state)
{
struct dma_device *dma_dev;
struct my_platform_specific_dma *plat_dma_dev;
dma_dev = chan->device;
plat_dma_dev = container_of(dma_dev,
struct my_platform_specific_dma,
dma_dev);
if (!plat_dma_dev->platform_specific_capability)
return DMA_DUP;
. . .
}
A couple caveats to note when implementing a driver and consumer:
1/ Once a channel has been privately allocated it will no longer be
considered by the general-purpose allocator even after a call to
dma_release_channel().
2/ Since capabilities are specified at the device level a dma_device
with multiple channels will either have all channels public, or all
channels private.

What: SELinux "compat_net" functionality
When: 2.6.30 at the earliest
Why: In 2.6.18 the Secmark concept was introduced to replace the "compat_net"
network access control functionality of SELinux. Secmark offers both
better performance and greater flexibility than the "compat_net"
mechanism. Now that the major Linux distributions have moved to
Secmark, it is time to deprecate the older mechanism and start the
process of removing the old code.

BTRFS
=====
Btrfs is a new copy on write filesystem for Linux aimed at
implementing advanced features while focusing on fault tolerance,
repair and easy administration. Initially developed by Oracle, Btrfs
is licensed under the GPL and open for contribution from anyone.
Linux has a wealth of filesystems to choose from, but we are facing a
number of challenges with scaling to the large storage subsystems that
are becoming common in today's data centers. Filesystems need to scale
in their ability to address and manage large storage, and also in
their ability to detect, repair and tolerate errors in the data stored
on disk. Btrfs is under heavy development, and is not suitable for
any uses other than benchmarking and review. The Btrfs disk format is
not yet finalized.
The main Btrfs features include:
* Extent based file storage (2^64 max file size)
* Space efficient packing of small files
* Space efficient indexed directories
* Dynamic inode allocation
* Writable snapshots
* Subvolumes (separate internal filesystem roots)
* Object level mirroring and striping
* Checksums on data and metadata (multiple algorithms available)
* Compression
* Integrated multiple device support, with several raid algorithms
* Online filesystem check (not yet implemented)
* Very fast offline filesystem check
* Efficient incremental backup and FS mirroring (not yet implemented)
* Online filesystem defragmentation
MAILING LIST
============
There is a Btrfs mailing list hosted on vger.kernel.org. You can
find details on how to subscribe here:
http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-btrfs
Mailing list archives are available from gmane:

Discussion of Btrfs also occurs on the #btrfs channel of the Freenode
IRC network.
UTILITIES
=========
Userspace tools for creating and manipulating Btrfs file systems are
available from the git repository at the following location:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs-unstable.git
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs-unstable.git
These include the following tools:
mkfs.btrfs: create a filesystem
btrfsctl: control program to create snapshots and subvolumes:
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
btrfsctl -s new_subvol_name /mnt
btrfsctl -s snapshot_of_default /mnt/default
btrfsctl -s snapshot_of_new_subvol /mnt/new_subvol_name
btrfsctl -s snapshot_of_a_snapshot /mnt/snapshot_of_new_subvol
ls /mnt
default snapshot_of_a_snapshot snapshot_of_new_subvol
new_subvol_name snapshot_of_default
Snapshots and subvolumes cannot be deleted right now, but you can
rm -rf all the files and directories inside them.
btrfsck: do a limited check of the FS extent trees.
btrfs-debug-tree: print all of the FS metadata in text form. Example:
btrfs-debug-tree /dev/sda2 >& big_output_file

@ -0,0 +1,132 @@
To support containers, we now allow multiple instances of devpts filesystem,
such that indices of ptys allocated in one instance are independent of indices
allocated in other instances of devpts.
To preserve backward compatibility, this support for multiple instances is
enabled only if:
- CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y, and
- '-o newinstance' mount option is specified while mounting devpts
IOW, devpts now supports both single-instance and multi-instance semantics.
If CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=n, there is no change in behavior and
this referred to as the "legacy" mode. In this mode, the new mount options
(-o newinstance and -o ptmxmode) will be ignored with a 'bogus option' message
on console.
If CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y and devpts is mounted without the
'newinstance' option (as in current start-up scripts) the new mount binds
to the initial kernel mount of devpts. This mode is referred to as the
'single-instance' mode and the current, single-instance semantics are
preserved, i.e PTYs are common across the system.
The only difference between this single-instance mode and the legacy mode
is the presence of new, '/dev/pts/ptmx' node with permissions 0000, which
can safely be ignored.
If CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y and 'newinstance' option is specified,
the mount is considered to be in the multi-instance mode and a new instance
of the devpts fs is created. Any ptys created in this instance are independent
of ptys in other instances of devpts. Like in the single-instance mode, the
/dev/pts/ptmx node is present. To effectively use the multi-instance mode,
open of /dev/ptmx must be a redirected to '/dev/pts/ptmx' using a symlink or
bind-mount.
Eg: A container startup script could do the following:
$ chmod 0666 /dev/pts/ptmx
$ rm /dev/ptmx
$ ln -s pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
$ ns_exec -cm /bin/bash
# We are now in new container
$ umount /dev/pts
$ mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts
$ sshd -p 1234
where 'ns_exec -cm /bin/bash' calls clone() with CLONE_NEWNS flag and execs
/bin/bash in the child process. A pty created by the sshd is not visible in
the original mount of /dev/pts.
User-space changes
------------------
In multi-instance mode (i.e '-o newinstance' mount option is specified at least
once), following user-space issues should be noted.
1. If -o newinstance mount option is never used, /dev/pts/ptmx can be ignored
and no change is needed to system-startup scripts.
2. To effectively use multi-instance mode (i.e -o newinstance is specified)
administrators or startup scripts should "redirect" open of /dev/ptmx to
/dev/pts/ptmx using either a bind mount or symlink.
$ mount -t devpts -o newinstance devpts /dev/pts
followed by either
$ rm /dev/ptmx
$ ln -s pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
$ chmod 666 /dev/pts/ptmx
or
$ mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
3. The '/dev/ptmx -> pts/ptmx' symlink is the preferred method since it
enables better error-reporting and treats both single-instance and
multi-instance mounts similarly.
But this method requires that system-startup scripts set the mode of
/dev/pts/ptmx correctly (default mode is 0000). The scripts can set the
mode by, either
- adding ptmxmode mount option to devpts entry in /etc/fstab, or
- using 'chmod 0666 /dev/pts/ptmx'
4. If multi-instance mode mount is needed for containers, but the system
startup scripts have not yet been updated, container-startup scripts
should bind mount /dev/ptmx to /dev/pts/ptmx to avoid breaking single-
instance mounts.
Or, in general, container-startup scripts should use:
mount -t devpts -o newinstance -o ptmxmode=0666 devpts /dev/pts
if [ ! -L /dev/ptmx ]; then
mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
fi
When all devpts mounts are multi-instance, /dev/ptmx can permanently be
a symlink to pts/ptmx and the bind mount can be ignored.
5. A multi-instance mount that is not accompanied by the /dev/ptmx to
/dev/pts/ptmx redirection would result in an unusable/unreachable pty.
mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts
immediately followed by:
open("/dev/ptmx")
would create a pty, say /dev/pts/7, in the initial kernel mount.
But /dev/pts/7 would be invisible in the new mount.
6. The permissions for /dev/pts/ptmx node should be specified when mounting
/dev/pts, using the '-o ptmxmode=%o' mount option (default is 0000).
mount -t devpts -o newinstance -o ptmxmode=0644 devpts /dev/pts
The permissions can be later be changed as usual with 'chmod'.
chmod 666 /dev/pts/ptmx
7. A mount of devpts without the 'newinstance' option results in binding to
initial kernel mount. This behavior while preserving legacy semantics,
does not provide strict isolation in a container environment. i.e by
mounting devpts without the 'newinstance' option, a container could
get visibility into the 'host' or root container's devpts.
To workaround this and have strict isolation, all mounts of devpts,
including the mount in the root container, should use the newinstance
option.

ext3/4 by default offers higher data integrity guarantees than most.
So when comparing with a metadata-only journalling filesystem, such

not enable write barriers by default. So it is useful to use
explicitly specify whether barriers are enabled or not when via the
'-o barriers=[0|1]' mount option for both ext3 and ext4 filesystems
for a fair comparison. When tuning ext3 for best benchmark numbers,
it is often worthwhile to try changing the data journaling mode; '-o
data=writeback,nobh' can be faster for some workloads. (Note
however that running mounted with data=writeback can potentially
leave stale data exposed in recently written files in case of an
unclean shutdown, which could be a security exposure in some
situations.) Configuring the filesystem with a large journal can

amount of time (on average) that it takes to
finish committing a transaction. Call this time
the "commit time". If the time that the
transactoin has been running is less than the
commit time, ext4 will try sleeping for the
commit time to see if other operations will join
the transaction. The commit time is capped by
the max_batch_time, which defaults to 15000us

SQUASHFS 4.0 FILESYSTEM
=======================
Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux.
It uses zlib compression to compress files, inodes and directories.
Inodes in the system are very small and all blocks are packed to minimise
data overhead. Block sizes greater than 4K are supported up to a maximum
of 1Mbytes (default block size 128K).
Squashfs is intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival
use (i.e. in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained
block device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is
needed.
Mailing list: squashfs-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Web site: www.squashfs.org

Squashfs compresses data, inodes and directories. In addition, inode and
directory data are highly compacted, and packed on byte boundaries. Each
compressed inode is on average 8 bytes in length (the exact length varies on
file type, i.e. regular file, directory, symbolic link, and block/char device
inodes have different sizes).
2. USING SQUASHFS
-----------------
As squashfs is a read-only filesystem, the mksquashfs program must be used to
create populated squashfs filesystems. This and other squashfs utilities
can be obtained from http://www.squashfs.org. Usage instructions can be
obtained from this site also.
3. SQUASHFS FILESYSTEM DESIGN
-----------------------------
A squashfs filesystem consists of seven parts, packed together on a byte
alignment:
---------------
| superblock |
|---------------|
| datablocks |
| & fragments |
|---------------|
| inode table |
|---------------|
| directory |
| table |
|---------------|
| fragment |
| table |
|---------------|
| export |
| table |
|---------------|
| uid/gid |
| lookup table |
---------------
Compressed data blocks are written to the filesystem as files are read from
the source directory, and checked for duplicates. Once all file data has been
written the completed inode, directory, fragment, export and uid/gid lookup
tables are written.
3.1 Inodes
----------
Metadata (inodes and directories) are compressed in 8Kbyte blocks. Each
compressed block is prefixed by a two byte length, the top bit is set if the
block is uncompressed. A block will be uncompressed if the -noI option is set,
or if the compressed block was larger than the uncompressed block.
Inodes are packed into the metadata blocks, and are not aligned to block
boundaries, therefore inodes overlap compressed blocks. Inodes are identified
by a 48-bit number which encodes the location of the compressed metadata block
containing the inode, and the byte offset into that block where the inode is
placed (<block, offset>).
To maximise compression there are different inodes for each file type
(regular file, directory, device, etc.), the inode contents and length
varying with the type.
To further maximise compression, two types of regular file inode and
directory inode are defined: inodes optimised for frequently occurring
regular files and directories, and extended types where extra
information has to be stored.
3.2 Directories
---------------
Like inodes, directories are packed into compressed metadata blocks, stored
in a directory table. Directories are accessed using the start address of
the metablock containing the directory and the offset into the
decompressed block (<block, offset>).
Directories are organised in a slightly complex way, and are not simply
a list of file names. The organisation takes advantage of the
fact that (in most cases) the inodes of the files will be in the same
compressed metadata block, and therefore, can share the start block.
Directories are therefore organised in a two level list, a directory
header containing the shared start block value, and a sequence of directory
entries, each of which share the shared start block. A new directory header
is written once/if the inode start block changes. The directory
header/directory entry list is repeated as many times as necessary.
Directories are sorted, and can contain a directory index to speed up
file lookup. Directory indexes store one entry per metablock, each entry
storing the index/filename mapping to the first directory header
in each metadata block. Directories are sorted in alphabetical order,
and at lookup the index is scanned linearly looking for the first filename
alphabetically larger than the filename being looked up. At this point the
location of the metadata block the filename is in has been found.
The general idea of the index is ensure only one metadata block needs to be
decompressed to do a lookup irrespective of the length of the directory.
This scheme has the advantage that it doesn't require extra memory overhead
and doesn't require much extra storage on disk.
3.3 File data
-------------
Regular files consist of a sequence of contiguous compressed blocks, and/or a
compressed fragment block (tail-end packed block). The compressed size
of each datablock is stored in a block list contained within the
file inode.
To speed up access to datablocks when reading 'large' files (256 Mbytes or
larger), the code implements an index cache that caches the mapping from
block index to datablock location on disk.
The index cache allows Squashfs to handle large files (up to 1.75 TiB) while
retaining a simple and space-efficient block list on disk. The cache
is split into slots, caching up to eight 224 GiB files (128 KiB blocks).
Larger files use multiple slots, with 1.75 TiB files using all 8 slots.
The index cache is designed to be memory efficient, and by default uses
16 KiB.
3.4 Fragment lookup table
-------------------------
Regular files can contain a fragment index which is mapped to a fragment
location on disk and compressed size using a fragment lookup table. This
fragment lookup table is itself stored compressed into metadata blocks.
A second index table is used to locate these. This second index table for
speed of access (and because it is small) is read at mount time and cached
in memory.
3.5 Uid/gid lookup table
------------------------
For space efficiency regular files store uid and gid indexes, which are
converted to 32-bit uids/gids using an id look up table. This table is
stored compressed into metadata blocks. A second index table is used to
locate these. This second index table for speed of access (and because it
is small) is read at mount time and cached in memory.
3.6 Export table
----------------
To enable Squashfs filesystems to be exportable (via NFS etc.) filesystems
can optionally (disabled with the -no-exports Mksquashfs option) contain
an inode number to inode disk location lookup table. This is required to
enable Squashfs to map inode numbers passed in filehandles to the inode
location on disk, which is necessary when the export code reinstantiates
expired/flushed inodes.
This table is stored compressed into metadata blocks. A second index table is
used to locate these. This second index table for speed of access (and because
it is small) is read at mount time and cached in memory.
4. TODOS AND OUTSTANDING ISSUES
-------------------------------
4.1 Todo list
-------------
Implement Xattr and ACL support. The Squashfs 4.0 filesystem layout has hooks
for these but the code has not been written. Once the code has been written
the existing layout should not require modification.
4.2 Squashfs internal cache
---------------------------
Blocks in Squashfs are compressed. To avoid repeatedly decompressing
recently accessed data Squashfs uses two small metadata and fragment caches.
The cache is not used for file datablocks, these are decompressed and cached in
the page-cache in the normal way. The cache is used to temporarily cache
fragment and metadata blocks which have been read as a result of a metadata
(i.e. inode or directory) or fragment access. Because metadata and fragments
are packed together into blocks (to gain greater compression) the read of a
particular piece of metadata or fragment will retrieve other metadata/fragments
which have been packed with it, these because of locality-of-reference may be
read in the near future. Temporarily caching them ensures they are available
for near future access without requiring an additional read and decompress.
In the future this internal cache may be replaced with an implementation which
uses the kernel page cache. Because the page cache operates on page sized
units this may introduce additional complexity in terms of locking and
associated race conditions.

instructed explicitly to read the multitude of diodes. If you want to use
automatic fan control mode, you must manually read any of the temperature
sensors or the fan control algorithm will not run. The chip WILL NOT DO THIS

Description
-----------
Fintek F718xxFG/F8000 Super I/O chips include complete hardware monitoring
capabilities. They can monitor up to 9 voltages (3 for the F8000), 4 fans and
3 temperature sensors.
These chips also have fan controlling features, using either DC or PWM, in
three different modes (one manual, two automatic).
The driver assumes that no more than one chip is present, which seems
reasonable.
Monitoring
----------
The Voltage, Fan and Temperature Monitoring uses the standard sysfs
interface as documented in sysfs-interface, without any exceptions.
Fan Control
-----------
Both PWM (pulse-width modulation) and DC fan speed control methods are
supported. The right one to use depends on external circuitry on the
motherboard, so the driver assumes that the BIOS set the method
properly.
There are 2 modes to specify the speed of the fan, PWM duty cycle (or DC
voltage) mode, where 0-100% duty cycle (0-100% of 12V) is specified. And RPM
mode where the actual RPM of the fan (as measured) is controlled and the speed
gets specified as 0-100% of the fan#_full_speed file.
Since both modes work in a 0-100% (mapped to 0-255) scale, there isn't a
whole lot of a difference when modifying fan control settings. The only
important difference is that in RPM mode the 0-100% controls the fan speed
between 0-100% of fan#_full_speed. It is assumed that if the BIOS programs
RPM mode, it will also set fan#_full_speed properly, if it does not then
fan control will not work properly, unless you set a sane fan#_full_speed
value yourself.
Switching between these modes requires re-initializing a whole bunch of
registers, so the mode which the BIOS has set is kept. The mode is
printed when loading the driver.
Three different fan control modes are supported; the mode number is written
to the pwm#_enable file. Note that not all modes are supported on all
chips, and some modes may only be available in RPM / PWM mode on the F8000.
Writing an unsupported mode will result in an invalid parameter error.
* 1: Manual mode
You ask for a specific PWM duty cycle / DC voltage or a specific % of
fan#_full_speed by writing to the pwm# file. This mode is only
available on the F8000 if the fan channel is in RPM mode.
* 2: Normal auto mode
You can define a number of temperature/fan speed trip points, which % the
fan should run at at this temp and which temp a fan should follow using the
standard sysfs interface. The number and type of trip points is chip
depended, see which files are available in sysfs.
Fan/PWM channel 3 of the F8000 is always in this mode!
* 3: Thermostat mode (Only available on the F8000 when in duty cycle mode)
The fan speed is regulated to keep the temp the fan is mapped to between
temp#_auto_point2_temp and temp#_auto_point3_temp.
Both of the automatic modes require that pwm1 corresponds to fan1, pwm2 to
fan2 and pwm3 to fan3.

Description
-----------
The LTC4245 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed
from a live backplane in multiple supply systems such as CompactPCI and
PCI Express.
Usage Notes
-----------
This driver does not probe for LTC4245 devices, due to the fact that some
of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will need to use
the "force" parameter to tell the driver where to find the device.
Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4245 at address 0x23
on I2C bus #1:
$ modprobe ltc4245 force=1,0x23
Sysfs entries
-------------
The LTC4245 has built-in limits for over and under current warnings. This
makes it very likely that the reference circuit will be used.
This driver uses the values in the datasheet to change the register values
into the values specified in the sysfs-interface document. The current readings
rely on the sense resistors listed in Table 2: "Sense Resistor Values".

KBUILD_MODPOST_NOFINAL can be set to skip the final link of modules.
This is solely usefull to speed up test compiles.
KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS
--------------------------------------------------
For modules use symbols from another modules.
See more details in modules.txt.
ALLSOURCE_ARCHS

This file contains some assistance for using "make *config".
Use "make help" to list all of the possible configuration targets.
The xconfig ('qconf') and menuconfig ('mconf') programs also
have embedded help text. Be sure to check it for navigation,
search, and other general help text.
======================================================================
General
--------------------------------------------------
New kernel releases often introduce new config symbols. Often more
important, new kernel releases may rename config symbols. When
this happens, using a previously working .config file and running
"make oldconfig" won't necessarily produce a working new kernel
for you, so you may find that you need to see what NEW kernel
symbols have been introduced.
To see a list of new config symbols when using "make oldconfig", use
cp user/some/old.config .config
yes "" | make oldconfig >conf.new
and the config program will list as (NEW) any new symbols that have
unknown values. Of course, the .config file is also updated with
new (default) values, so you can use:
grep "(NEW)" conf.new
to see the new config symbols or you can 'diff' the previous and
new .config files to see the differences:
diff .config.old .config | less
(Yes, we need something better here.)
======================================================================
menuconfig
--------------------------------------------------
SEARCHING for CONFIG symbols
Searching in menuconfig:
The Search function searches for kernel configuration symbol
names, so you have to know something close to what you are
looking for.
Example:
/hotplug
This lists all config symbols that contain "hotplug",
e.g., HOTPLUG, HOTPLUG_CPU, MEMORY_HOTPLUG.
For search help, enter / followed TAB-TAB-TAB (to highlight
<Help>) and Enter. This will tell you that you can also use
regular expressions (regexes) in the search string, so if you
are not interested in MEMORY_HOTPLUG, you could try
/^hotplug
______________________________________________________________________
Color Themes for 'menuconfig'
It is possible to select different color themes using the variable
MENUCONFIG_COLOR. To select a theme use:
make MENUCONFIG_COLOR=<theme> menuconfig
Available themes are:
mono => selects colors suitable for monochrome displays
blackbg => selects a color scheme with black background
classic => theme with blue background. The classic look
bluetitle => a LCD friendly version of classic. (default)
______________________________________________________________________
Environment variables in 'menuconfig'
KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG
--------------------------------------------------
(partially based on lkml email from/by Rob Landley, re: miniconfig)
--------------------------------------------------
The allyesconfig/allmodconfig/allnoconfig/randconfig variants can
also use the environment variable KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG as a flag or a
filename that contains config symbols that the user requires to be
set to a specific value. If KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG is used without a
filename, "make *config" checks for a file named
"all{yes/mod/no/random}.config" (corresponding to the *config command
that was used) for symbol values that are to be forced. If this file
is not found, it checks for a file named "all.config" to contain forced
values.
This enables you to create "miniature" config (miniconfig) or custom
config files containing just the config symbols that you are interested
in. Then the kernel config system generates the full .config file,
including dependencies of your miniconfig file, based on the miniconfig
file.
This 'KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG' file is a config file which contains
(usually a subset of all) preset config symbols. These variable
settings are still subject to normal dependency checks.
Examples:
KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=custom-notebook.config make allnoconfig
or
KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=mini.config make allnoconfig
or
make KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=mini.config allnoconfig
These examples will disable most options (allnoconfig) but enable or
disable the options that are explicitly listed in the specified
mini-config files.
KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE
--------------------------------------------------
If this variable has a non-blank value, it prevents silent kernel
config udpates (requires explicit updates).
KCONFIG_CONFIG
--------------------------------------------------
This environment variable can be used to specify a default kernel config
file name to override the default name of ".config".
KCONFIG_OVERWRITECONFIG
--------------------------------------------------
If you set KCONFIG_OVERWRITECONFIG in the environment, Kconfig will not
break symlinks when .config is a symlink to somewhere else.
KCONFIG_NOTIMESTAMP
--------------------------------------------------
If this environment variable exists and is non-null, the timestamp line
in generated .config files is omitted.
KCONFIG_AUTOCONFIG
--------------------------------------------------
This environment variable can be set to specify the path & name of the
"auto.conf" file. Its default value is "include/config/auto.conf".
KCONFIG_AUTOHEADER
--------------------------------------------------
This environment variable can be set to specify the path & name of the
"autoconf.h" (header) file. Its default value is "include/linux/autoconf.h".
______________________________________________________________________
menuconfig User Interface Options
----------------------------------------------------------------------
MENUCONFIG_MODE
--------------------------------------------------
This mode shows all sub-menus in one large tree.
Example:
MENUCONFIG_MODE=single_menu make menuconfig
======================================================================
xconfig
--------------------------------------------------
Searching in xconfig:
The Search function searches for kernel configuration symbol
names, so you have to know something close to what you are
looking for.
Example:
Ctrl-F hotplug
or
Menu: File, Search, hotplug
lists all config symbol entries that contain "hotplug" in
the symbol name. In this Search dialog, you may change the
config setting for any of the entries that are not grayed out.
You can also enter a different search string without having
to return to the main menu.
======================================================================
gconfig
--------------------------------------------------
Searching in gconfig:
None (gconfig isn't maintained as well as xconfig or menuconfig);
however, gconfig does have a few more viewing choices than
xconfig does.

Including documentation blocks in source files
----------------------------------------------
To facilitate having source code and comments close together, you can
include kernel-doc documentation blocks that are free-form comments
instead of being kernel-doc for functions, structures, unions,
enums, or typedefs. This could be used for something like a
theory of operation for a driver or library code, for example.
This is done by using a DOC: section keyword with a section title. E.g.:

FURTHER NOTES ON NO-MMU MMAP
============================
(*) A request for a private mapping of less than a page in size may not return
a page-aligned buffer. This is because the kernel calls kmalloc() to
allocate the buffer, not get_free_page().
(*) A request for a private mapping of a file may return a buffer that is not
page-aligned. This is because XIP may take place, and the data may not be
paged aligned in the backing store.
(*) A list of all the mappings on the system is visible through /proc/maps in
no-MMU mode.
(*) A request for an anonymous mapping will always be page aligned. If
possible the size of the request should be a power of two otherwise some
of the space may be wasted as the kernel must allocate a power-of-2
granule but will only discard the excess if appropriately configured as
this has an effect on fragmentation.
(*) A list of all the private copy and anonymous mappings on the system is

Provision of shared mappings on block device files is exactly the same as for
character devices. If there isn't a real device underneath, then the driver
should allocate sufficient contiguous memory to honour any supported mapping.
=================================
ADJUSTING PAGE TRIMMING BEHAVIOUR
=================================
NOMMU mmap automatically rounds up to the nearest power-of-2 number of pages
when performing an allocation. This can have adverse effects on memory
fragmentation, and as such, is left configurable. The default behaviour is to
aggressively trim allocations and discard any excess pages back in to the page
allocator. In order to retain finer-grained control over fragmentation, this
behaviour can either be disabled completely, or bumped up to a higher page
watermark where trimming begins.
Page trimming behaviour is configurable via the sysctl `vm.nr_trim_pages'.

format:
cn_msg (CN_W1_IDX.CN_W1_VAL as id, len is equal to sizeof(struct
w1_netlink_msg) plus number of masters multipled by 4)
w1_netlink_msg (type: W1_LIST_MASTERS, len is equal to
number of masters multiplied by 4 (u32 size))

Each message is at most 4k in size, so if number of master devices
exceeds this, it will be split into several messages,
cn.seq will be increased for each one.
W1 search and alarm search commands.
request:
[cn_msg]
[w1_netlink_msg type = W1_MASTER_CMD
id is equal to the bus master id to use for searching]
[w1_netlink_cmd cmd = W1_CMD_SEARCH or W1_CMD_ALARM_SEARCH]
reply:
[cn_msg, ack = 1 and increasing, 0 means the last message,
seq is equal to the request seq]
[w1_netlink_msg type = W1_MASTER_CMD]
[w1_netlink_cmd cmd = W1_CMD_SEARCH or W1_CMD_ALARM_SEARCH
len is equal to number of IDs multiplied by 8]
[64bit-id0 ... 64bit-idN]
Length in each header corresponds to the size of the data behind it, so
w1_netlink_cmd->len = N * 8; where N is number of IDs in this message.
Can be zero.
w1_netlink_msg->len = sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd) + N * 8;

id is equal to the bus master id to use for searching]
[w1_netlink_cmd cmd = W1_CMD_RESET]
Command status replies.
======================
Each command (either root, master or slave with or without w1_netlink_cmd
structure) will be 'acked' by the w1 core. Format of the reply is the same
as request message except that length parameters do not account for data
requested by the user, i.e. read/write/touch IO requests will not contain
data, so w1_netlink_cmd.len will be 0, w1_netlink_msg.len will be size
of the w1_netlink_cmd structure and cn_msg.len will be equal to the sum
of the sizeof(struct w1_netlink_msg) and sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd).
If reply is generated for master or root command (which do not have
w1_netlink_cmd attached), reply will contain only cn_msg and w1_netlink_msg
structires.
w1_netlink_msg.status field will carry positive error value
(EINVAL for example) or zero in case of success.
All other fields in every structure will mirror the same parameters in the
request message (except lengths as described above).
Status reply is generated for every w1_netlink_cmd embedded in the
w1_netlink_msg, if there are no w1_netlink_cmd structures,
reply will be generated for the w1_netlink_msg.
All w1_netlink_cmd command structures are handled in every w1_netlink_msg,
even if there were errors, only length mismatch interrupts message processing.
Operation steps in w1 core when new command is received.
=======================================================
When new message (w1_netlink_msg) is received w1 core detects if it is master of slave request,
according to w1_netlink_msg.type field.
When new message (w1_netlink_msg) is received w1 core detects if it is

Driver for the Intel Wireless Wimax Connection 2400m
(C) 2008 Intel Corporation < linux-wimax@intel.com >
This provides a driver for the Intel Wireless WiMAX Connection 2400m
and a basic Linux kernel WiMAX stack.
1. Requirements
* Linux installation with Linux kernel 2.6.22 or newer (if building
from a separate tree)
* Intel i2400m Echo Peak or Baxter Peak; this includes the Intel
Wireless WiMAX/WiFi Link 5x50 series.
* build tools:
+ Linux kernel development package for the target kernel; to
build against your currently running kernel, you need to have
the kernel development package corresponding to the running
image installed (usually if your kernel is named
linux-VERSION, the development package is called
linux-dev-VERSION or linux-headers-VERSION).
+ GNU C Compiler, make
2. Compilation and installation
2.1. Compilation of the drivers included in the kernel
Configure the kernel; to enable the WiMAX drivers select Drivers >
Networking Drivers > WiMAX device support. Enable all of them as
modules (easier).
If USB or SDIO are not enabled in the kernel configuration, the options
to build the i2400m USB or SDIO drivers will not show. Enable said
subsystems and go back to the WiMAX menu to enable the drivers.
Compile and install your kernel as usual.
2.2. Compilation of the drivers distributed as an standalone module
To compile
$ cd source/directory
$ make
Once built you can load and unload using the provided load.sh script;
load.sh will load the modules, load.sh u will unload them.
To install in the default kernel directories (and enable auto loading
when the device is plugged):
$ make install
$ depmod -a
If your kernel development files are located in a non standard
directory or if you want to build for a kernel that is not the
currently running one, set KDIR to the right location:
$ make KDIR=/path/to/kernel/dev/tree
For more information, please contact linux-wimax@intel.com.
3. Installing the firmware
The firmware can be obtained from http://linuxwimax.org or might have
been supplied with your hardware.
It has to be installed in the target system:
*
$ cp FIRMWAREFILE.sbcf /lib/firmware/i2400m-fw-BUSTYPE-1.3.sbcf
* NOTE: if your firmware came in an .rpm or .deb file, just install
it as normal, with the rpm (rpm -i FIRMWARE.rpm) or dpkg
(dpkg -i FIRMWARE.deb) commands. No further action is needed.
* BUSTYPE will be usb or sdio, depending on the hardware you have.
Each hardware type comes with its own firmware and will not work
with other types.
4. Design
This package contains two major parts: a WiMAX kernel stack and a
driver for the Intel i2400m.
The WiMAX stack is designed to provide for common WiMAX control
services to current and future WiMAX devices from any vendor; please
see README.wimax for details.
The i2400m kernel driver is broken up in two main parts: the bus
generic driver and the bus-specific drivers. The bus generic driver
forms the drivercore and contain no knowledge of the actual method we
use to connect to the device. The bus specific drivers are just the
glue to connect the bus-generic driver and the device. Currently only
USB and SDIO are supported. See drivers/net/wimax/i2400m/i2400m.h for
more information.
The bus generic driver is logically broken up in two parts: OS-glue and
hardware-glue. The OS-glue interfaces with Linux. The hardware-glue
interfaces with the device on using an interface provided by the
bus-specific driver. The reason for this breakup is to be able to
easily reuse the hardware-glue to write drivers for other OSes; note
the hardware glue part is written as a native Linux driver; no
abstraction layers are used, so to port to another OS, the Linux kernel
API calls should be replaced with the target OS's.
5. Usage
To load the driver, follow the instructions in the install section;
once the driver is loaded, plug in the device (unless it is permanently
plugged in). The driver will enumerate the device, upload the firmware
and output messages in the kernel log (dmesg, /var/log/messages or
/var/log/kern.log) such as:
...
i2400m_usb 5-4:1.0: firmware interface version 8.0.0
i2400m_usb 5-4:1.0: WiMAX interface wmx0 (00:1d:e1:01:94:2c) ready
At this point the device is ready to work.
Current versions require the Intel WiMAX Network Service in userspace
to make things work. See the network service's README for instructions
on how to scan, connect and disconnect.
5.1. Module parameters
Module parameters can be set at kernel or module load time or by
echoing values:
$ echo VALUE > /sys/module/MODULENAME/parameters/PARAMETERNAME
To make changes permanent, for example, for the i2400m module, you can
also create a file named /etc/modprobe.d/i2400m containing:
options i2400m idle_mode_disabled=1
To find which parameters are supported by a module, run:
$ modinfo path/to/module.ko
During kernel bootup (if the driver is linked in the kernel), specify
the following to the kernel command line:
i2400m.PARAMETER=VALUE
5.1.1. i2400m: idle_mode_disabled
The i2400m module supports a parameter to disable idle mode. This
parameter, once set, will take effect only when the device is
reinitialized by the driver (eg: following a reset or a reconnect).
5.2. Debug operations: debugfs entries
The driver will register debugfs entries that allow the user to tweak
debug settings. There are three main container directories where
entries are placed, which correspond to the three blocks a i2400m WiMAX
driver has:
* /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:DEVNAME/ for the generic WiMAX stack
controls
* /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:DEVNAME/i2400m for the i2400m generic
driver controls
* /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:DEVNAME/i2400m-usb (or -sdio) for the
bus-specific i2400m-usb or i2400m-sdio controls).
Of course, if debugfs is mounted in a directory other than
/sys/kernel/debug, those paths will change.
5.2.1. Increasing debug output
The files named *dl_* indicate knobs for controlling the debug output
of different submodules:
*
# find /sys/kernel/debug/wimax\:wmx0 -name \*dl_\*
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_tx
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_rx
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_notif
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_fw
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_usb
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_tx
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_rx
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_rfkill
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_netdev
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_fw
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_debugfs
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_driver
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_control
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_stack
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_rfkill
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_reset
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_msg
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_id_table
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_debugfs
By reading the file you can obtain the current value of said debug
level; by writing to it, you can set it.
To increase the debug level of, for example, the i2400m's generic TX
engine, just write:
$ echo 3 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_tx
Increasing numbers yield increasing debug information; for details of
what is printed and the available levels, check the source. The code
uses 0 for disabled and increasing values until 8.
5.2.2. RX and TX statistics
The i2400m/rx_stats and i2400m/tx_stats provide statistics about the
data reception/delivery from the device:
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/rx_stats
45 1 3 34 3104 48 480
The numbers reported are
* packets/RX-buffer: total, min, max
* RX-buffers: total RX buffers received, accumulated RX buffer size
in bytes, min size received, max size received
Thus, to find the average buffer size received, divide accumulated
RX-buffer / total RX-buffers.
To clear the statistics back to 0, write anything to the rx_stats file:
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m_rx_stats
Likewise for TX.
Note the packets this debug file refers to are not network packet, but
packets in the sense of the device-specific protocol for communication
to the host. See drivers/net/wimax/i2400m/tx.c.
5.2.3. Tracing messages received from user space
To echo messages received from user space into the trace pipe that the
i2400m driver creates, set the debug file i2400m/trace_msg_from_user to
1:
*
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/trace_msg_from_user
5.2.4. Performing a device reset
By writing a 0, a 1 or a 2 to the file
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/reset, the driver performs a warm (without
disconnecting from the bus), cold (disconnecting from the bus) or bus
(bus specific) reset on the device.
5.2.5. Asking the device to enter power saving mode
By writing any value to the /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0 file, the
device will attempt to enter power saving mode.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1. Driver complains about 'i2400m-fw-usb-1.2.sbcf: request failed'
If upon connecting the device, the following is output in the kernel
log:
i2400m_usb 5-4:1.0: fw i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.sbcf: request failed: -2
This means that the driver cannot locate the firmware file named
/lib/firmware/i2400m-fw-usb-1.2.sbcf. Check that the file is present in
the right location.

Linux kernel WiMAX stack
(C) 2008 Intel Corporation < linux-wimax@intel.com >
This provides a basic Linux kernel WiMAX stack to provide a common
control API for WiMAX devices, usable from kernel and user space.
1. Design
The WiMAX stack is designed to provide for common WiMAX control
services to current and future WiMAX devices from any vendor.
Because currently there is only one and we don't know what would be the
common services, the APIs it currently provides are very minimal.
However, it is done in such a way that it is easily extensible to
accommodate future requirements.
The stack works by embedding a struct wimax_dev in your device's
control structures. This provides a set of callbacks that the WiMAX
stack will call in order to implement control operations requested by
the user. As well, the stack provides API functions that the driver
calls to notify about changes of state in the device.
The stack exports the API calls needed to control the device to user
space using generic netlink as a marshalling mechanism. You can access
them using your own code or use the wrappers provided for your
convenience in libwimax (in the wimax-tools package).
For detailed information on the stack, please see
include/linux/wimax.h.
2. Usage
For usage in a driver (registration, API, etc) please refer to the
instructions in the header file include/linux/wimax.h.
When a device is registered with the WiMAX stack, a set of debugfs
files will appear in /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmxX can tweak for
control.
2.1. Obtaining debug information: debugfs entries
The WiMAX stack is compiled, by default, with debug messages that can
be used to diagnose issues. By default, said messages are disabled.
The drivers will register debugfs entries that allow the user to tweak
debug settings.
Each driver, when registering with the stack, will cause a debugfs
directory named wimax:DEVICENAME to be created; optionally, it might
create more subentries below it.
2.1.1. Increasing debug output
The files named *dl_* indicate knobs for controlling the debug output
of different submodules of the WiMAX stack:
*
# find /sys/kernel/debug/wimax\:wmx0 -name \*dl_\*
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_stack
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_rfkill
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_reset
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_msg
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_id_table
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_debugfs
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/.... # other driver specific files
NOTE: Of course, if debugfs is mounted in a directory other than
/sys/kernel/debug, those paths will change.
By reading the file you can obtain the current value of said debug
level; by writing to it, you can set it.
To increase the debug level of, for example, the id-table submodule,
just write:
$ echo 3 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_id_table
Increasing numbers yield increasing debug information; for details of
what is printed and the available levels, check the source. The code
uses 0 for disabled and increasing values until 8.

"make randconfig" Create a ./.config file by setting symbol
values to random values.
The allyesconfig/allmodconfig/allnoconfig/randconfig variants can
also use the environment variable KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG to specify a
filename that contains config options that the user requires to be
set to a specific value. If KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=filename is not used,
"make *config" checks for a file named "all{yes/mod/no/random}.config"
for symbol values that are to be forced. If this file is not found,
it checks for a file named "all.config" to contain forced values.
You can find more information on using the Linux kernel config tools

- If you configured any of the parts of the kernel as `modules', you
will also have to do "make modules_install".
- Verbose kernel compile/build output:
Normally the kernel build system runs in a fairly quiet mode (but not
totally silent). However, sometimes you or other kernel developers need
to see compile, link, or other commands exactly as they are executed.
For this, use "verbose" build mode. This is done by inserting
"V=1" in the "make" command. E.g.:
make V=1 all
To have the build system also tell the reason for the rebuild of each
target, use "V=2". The default is "V=0".
- Keep a backup kernel handy in case something goes wrong. This is
especially true for the development releases, since each new release
contains new code which has not been debugged. Make sure you keep a
