Description:
The /sys/firmware/sgi_uv directory contains information
about the SGI UV platform.
Under that directory are a number of files:
partition_id
coherence_id
The partition_id entry contains the partition id.
SGI UV systems can be partitioned into multiple physical
machines, which each partition running a unique copy
of the operating system. Each partition will have a unique
partition id. To display the partition id, use the command:
cat /sys/firmware/sgi_uv/partition_id
The coherence_id entry contains the coherence id.
A partitioned SGI UV system can have one or more coherence
domain. The coherence id indicates which coherence domain
this partition is in. To display the coherence id, use the
command:
cat /sys/firmware/sgi_uv/coherence_id

Description:
As a Kconfig option, individual GPIO signals may be accessed from

"export" operation. If a given GPIO is not claimed for use by
kernel code, it may be exported by userspace (and unexported later).
Kernel code may export it for complete or partial access.
GPIOs are identified as they are inside the kernel, using integers in
the range 0..INT_MAX. See Documentation/gpio.txt for more information.

So, you can either get rid of GNU emacs, or change it to use saner
values. To do the latter, you can stick the following in your .emacs file:
(defun linux-c-mode ()
"C mode with adjusted defaults for use with the Linux kernel."
(interactive)
(c-mode)
(c-set-style "K&R")
(setq tab-width 8)

(offset (- (1+ column) anchor))
(steps (floor offset c-basic-offset)))
(* (max steps 1)

This will define the M-x linux-c-mode command. When hacking on a
module, if you put the string -*- linux-c -*- somewhere on the first
two lines, this mode will be automatically invoked. Also, you may want
to add
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(let ((filename (buffer-file-name)))
;; Enable kernel mode for the appropriate files
(when (and filename
(string-match "~/src/linux-trees" filename))

(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("/usr/src/linux.*/.*\\.[ch]$" . linux-c-mode)
auto-mode-alist))
to your .emacs file if you want to have linux-c-mode switched on
automagically when you edit source files under /usr/src/linux.
This will make emacs go better with the kernel coding style for C
files below ~/src/linux-trees.
But even if you fail in getting emacs to do sane formatting, not

If the architecture that you are using supports the kernel option
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, you should consider turning it off. This

A generic digital 24-port PCI GPIO card can be built out of an ordinary
Brooktree bt848, bt849, bt878 or bt879 based analog TV tuner card. The
Brooktree chip is used in old analog Hauppauge WinTV PCI cards. You can easily

The bt8xx chip does have 24 digital GPIO ports.
These ports are accessible via 24 pins on the SMD chip package.

== How to physically access the GPIO pins ==
==============================================
The are several ways to access these pins. One might unsolder the whole chip
and put it on a custom PCI board, or one might only unsolder each individual
GPIO pin and solder that to some tiny wire. As the chip package really is tiny
there are some advanced soldering skills needed in any case.
The physical pinouts are drawn in the following ASCII art.

#### cli()/sti() removal guide, started by Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
as of 2.5.28, five popular macros have been removed on SMP, and
are being phased out on UP:
cli(), sti(), save_flags(flags), save_flags_cli(flags), restore_flags(flags)
until now it was possible to protect driver code against interrupt
handlers via a cli(), but from now on other, more lightweight methods
have to be used for synchronization, such as spinlocks or semaphores.
for example, driver code that used to do something like:
struct driver_data;
irq_handler (...)
{
....
driver_data.finish = 1;
driver_data.new_work = 0;
....
}
...
ioctl_func (...)
{
...
cli();
...
driver_data.finish = 0;
driver_data.new_work = 2;
...
sti();
...
}
was SMP-correct because the cli() function ensured that no
interrupt handler (amongst them the above irq_handler()) function
would execute while the cli()-ed section is executing.
but from now on a more direct method of locking has to be used:
DEFINE_SPINLOCK(driver_lock);
struct driver_data;
irq_handler (...)
{
unsigned long flags;
....
spin_lock_irqsave(&driver_lock, flags);
....
driver_data.finish = 1;
driver_data.new_work = 0;
....
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&driver_lock, flags);
....
}
...
ioctl_func (...)
{
...
spin_lock_irq(&driver_lock);
...
driver_data.finish = 0;
driver_data.new_work = 2;
...
spin_unlock_irq(&driver_lock);
...
}
the above code has a number of advantages:
- the locking relation is easier to understand - actual lock usage
pinpoints the critical sections. cli() usage is too opaque.
Easier to understand means it's easier to debug.
- it's faster, because spinlocks are faster to acquire than the
potentially heavily-used IRQ lock. Furthermore, your driver does
not have to wait eg. for a big heavy SCSI interrupt to finish,
because the driver_lock spinlock is only used by your driver.
cli() on the other hand was used by many drivers, and extended
the critical section to the whole IRQ handler function - creating
serious lock contention.
to make the transition easier, we've still kept the cli(), sti(),
save_flags(), save_flags_cli() and restore_flags() macros defined
on UP systems - but their usage will be phased out until 2.6 is
released.
drivers that want to disable local interrupts (interrupts on the
current CPU), can use the following five macros:
local_irq_disable(), local_irq_enable(), local_save_flags(flags),
local_irq_save(flags), local_irq_restore(flags)
but beware, their meaning and semantics are much simpler, far from
that of the old cli(), sti(), save_flags(flags) and restore_flags(flags)
SMP meaning:
local_irq_disable() => turn local IRQs off
local_irq_enable() => turn local IRQs on
local_save_flags(flags) => save the current IRQ state into flags. The
state can be on or off. (on some
architectures there's even more bits in it.)
local_irq_save(flags) => save the current IRQ state into flags and
disable interrupts.
local_irq_restore(flags) => restore the IRQ state from flags.
(local_irq_save can save both irqs on and irqs off state, and
local_irq_restore can restore into both irqs on and irqs off state.)
another related change is that synchronize_irq() now takes a parameter:
synchronize_irq(irq). This change too has the purpose of making SMP
synchronization more lightweight - this way you can wait for your own
interrupt handler to finish, no need to wait for other IRQ sources.
why were these changes done? The main reason was the architectural burden
of maintaining the cli()/sti() interface - it became a real problem. The
new interrupt system is much more streamlined, easier to understand, debug,
and it's also a bit faster - the same happened to it that will happen to
cli()/sti() using drivers once they convert to spinlocks :-)

storing an attribute, and a simple group creating and destroying these

The only difference between configfs_example_explicit.c and
configfs_example_macros.c is how the attributes of the childless item
are defined. The childless item has extended attributes, each with
their own show()/store() operation. This follows a convention commonly
used in sysfs. configfs_example_explicit.c creates these attributes
by explicitly defining the structures involved. Conversely
configfs_example_macros.c uses some convenience macros from configfs.h
to define the attributes. These macros are similar to their sysfs
counterparts.

Optimized MPEG Filesystem (OMFS)
Overview
========
OMFS is a filesystem created by SonicBlue for use in the ReplayTV DVR
and Rio Karma MP3 player. The filesystem is extent-based, utilizing
block sizes from 2k to 8k, with hash-based directories. This
filesystem driver may be used to read and write disks from these
devices.
Note, it is not recommended that this FS be used in place of a general
filesystem for your own streaming media device. Native Linux filesystems
will likely perform better.
More information is available at:
http://linux-karma.sf.net/
Various utilities, including mkomfs and omfsck, are included with
omfsprogs, available at:
http://bobcopeland.com/karma/
Instructions are included in its README.
Options
=======
OMFS supports the following mount-time options:
uid=n - make all files owned by specified user
gid=n - make all files owned by specified group
umask=xxx - set permission umask to xxx
fmask=xxx - set umask to xxx for files
dmask=xxx - set umask to xxx for directories
Disk format
===========
OMFS discriminates between "sysblocks" and normal data blocks. The sysblock
group consists of super block information, file metadata, directory structures,
and extents. Each sysblock has a header containing CRCs of the entire
sysblock, and may be mirrored in successive blocks on the disk. A sysblock may
have a smaller size than a data block, but since they are both addressed by the
same 64-bit block number, any remaining space in the smaller sysblock is
unused.
Sysblock header information:
struct omfs_header {
__be64 h_self; /* FS block where this is located */
__be32 h_body_size; /* size of useful data after header */
__be16 h_crc; /* crc-ccitt of body_size bytes */
char h_fill1[2];
u8 h_version; /* version, always 1 */
char h_type; /* OMFS_INODE_X */
u8 h_magic; /* OMFS_IMAGIC */
u8 h_check_xor; /* XOR of header bytes before this */
__be32 h_fill2;
};
Files and directories are both represented by omfs_inode:
struct omfs_inode {
struct omfs_header i_head; /* header */
__be64 i_parent; /* parent containing this inode */
__be64 i_sibling; /* next inode in hash bucket */
__be64 i_ctime; /* ctime, in milliseconds */
char i_fill1[35];
char i_type; /* OMFS_[DIR,FILE] */
__be32 i_fill2;
char i_fill3[64];
char i_name[OMFS_NAMELEN]; /* filename */
__be64 i_size; /* size of file, in bytes */
};
Directories in OMFS are implemented as a large hash table. Filenames are
hashed then prepended into the bucket list beginning at OMFS_DIR_START.
Lookup requires hashing the filename, then seeking across i_sibling pointers
until a match is found on i_name. Empty buckets are represented by block
pointers with all-1s (~0).
A file is an omfs_inode structure followed by an extent table beginning at
OMFS_EXTENT_START:
struct omfs_extent_entry {
__be64 e_cluster; /* start location of a set of blocks */
__be64 e_blocks; /* number of blocks after e_cluster */
};
struct omfs_extent {
__be64 e_next; /* next extent table location */
__be32 e_extent_count; /* total # extents in this table */
__be32 e_fill;
struct omfs_extent_entry e_entry; /* start of extent entries */
};
Each extent holds the block offset followed by number of blocks allocated to
the extent. The final extent in each table is a terminator with e_cluster
being ~0 and e_blocks being ones'-complement of the total number of blocks
in the table.
If this table overflows, a continuation inode is written and pointed to by
e_next. These have a header but lack the rest of the inode structure.

once all the necessary resources are available, and remove them later when
the GPIO controller device becomes unavailable.
Sysfs Interface for Userspace (OPTIONAL)
========================================
Platforms which use the "gpiolib" implementors framework may choose to
configure a sysfs user interface to GPIOs. This is different from the
debugfs interface, since it provides control over GPIO direction and
value instead of just showing a gpio state summary. Plus, it could be
present on production systems without debugging support.
Given approprate hardware documentation for the system, userspace could
know for example that GPIO #23 controls the write protect line used to
protect boot loader segments in flash memory. System upgrade procedures
may need to temporarily remove that protection, first importing a GPIO,
then changing its output state, then updating the code before re-enabling
the write protection. In normal use, GPIO #23 would never be touched,
and the kernel would have no need to know about it.
Again depending on appropriate hardware documentation, on some systems
userspace GPIO can be used to determine system configuration data that
standard kernels won't know about. And for some tasks, simple userspace
GPIO drivers could be all that the system really needs.
Note that standard kernel drivers exist for common "LEDs and Buttons"
GPIO tasks: "leds-gpio" and "gpio_keys", respectively. Use those
instead of talking directly to the GPIOs; they integrate with kernel
frameworks better than your userspace code could.
Paths in Sysfs
--------------
There are three kinds of entry in /sys/class/gpio:
- Control interfaces used to get userspace control over GPIOs;
- GPIOs themselves; and
- GPIO controllers ("gpio_chip" instances).
That's in addition to standard files including the "device" symlink.
The control interfaces are write-only:
/sys/class/gpio/
"export" ... Userspace may ask the kernel to export control of
a GPIO to userspace by writing its number to this file.
Example: "echo 19 > export" will create a "gpio19" node
for GPIO #19, if that's not requested by kernel code.
"unexport" ... Reverses the effect of exporting to userspace.
Example: "echo 19 > unexport" will remove a "gpio19"
node exported using the "export" file.
GPIO signals have paths like /sys/class/gpio/gpio42/ (for GPIO #42)
and have the following read/write attributes:
/sys/class/gpio/gpioN/
"direction" ... reads as either "in" or "out". This value may
normally be written. Writing as "out" defaults to
initializing the value as low. To ensure glitch free
operation, values "low" and "high" may be written to
configure the GPIO as an output with that initial value.
Note that this attribute *will not exist* if the kernel
doesn't support changing the direction of a GPIO, or
it was exported by kernel code that didn't explicitly
allow userspace to reconfigure this GPIO's direction.
"value" ... reads as either 0 (low) or 1 (high). If the GPIO
is configured as an output, this value may be written;
any nonzero value is treated as high.
GPIO controllers have paths like /sys/class/gpio/chipchip42/ (for the
controller implementing GPIOs starting at #42) and have the following
read-only attributes:
/sys/class/gpio/gpiochipN/
"base" ... same as N, the first GPIO managed by this chip
"label" ... provided for diagnostics (not always unique)
"ngpio" ... how many GPIOs this manges (N to N + ngpio - 1)
Board documentation should in most cases cover what GPIOs are used for
what purposes. However, those numbers are not always stable; GPIOs on
a daughtercard might be different depending on the base board being used,
or other cards in the stack. In such cases, you may need to use the
gpiochip nodes (possibly in conjunction with schematics) to determine
the correct GPIO number to use for a given signal.
Exporting from Kernel code
--------------------------
Kernel code can explicitly manage exports of GPIOs which have already been
requested using gpio_request():
/* export the GPIO to userspace */
int gpio_export(unsigned gpio, bool direction_may_change);
/* reverse gpio_export() */
void gpio_unexport();
After a kernel driver requests a GPIO, it may only be made available in
the sysfs interface by gpio_export(). The driver can control whether the
signal direction may change. This helps drivers prevent userspace code
from accidentally clobbering important system state.
This explicit exporting can help with debugging (by making some kinds
of experiments easier), or can provide an always-there interface that's
suitable for documenting as part of a board support package.

Upgrading I2C Drivers to the new 2.6 Driver Model
=================================================
Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org>
Introduction
------------
This guide outlines how to alter existing Linux 2.6 client drivers from
the old to the new new binding methods.
Example old-style driver
------------------------
struct example_state {
struct i2c_client client;
....
};
static struct i2c_driver example_driver;
static unsigned short ignore[] = { I2C_CLIENT_END };
static unsigned short normal_addr[] = { OUR_ADDR, I2C_CLIENT_END };
I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD;
static int example_attach(struct i2c_adapter *adap, int addr, int kind)
{
struct example_state *state;
struct device *dev = &adap->dev; /* to use for dev_ reports */
int ret;
state = kzalloc(sizeof(struct example_state), GFP_KERNEL);
if (state == NULL) {
dev_err(dev, "failed to create our state\n");
return -ENOMEM;
}
example->client.addr = addr;
example->client.flags = 0;
example->client.adapter = adap;
i2c_set_clientdata(&state->i2c_client, state);
strlcpy(client->i2c_client.name, "example", I2C_NAME_SIZE);
ret = i2c_attach_client(&state->i2c_client);
if (ret < 0) {
dev_err(dev, "failed to attach client\n");
kfree(state);
return ret;
}
dev = &state->i2c_client.dev;
/* rest of the initialisation goes here. */
dev_info(dev, "example client created\n");
return 0;
}
static int __devexit example_detach(struct i2c_client *client)
{
struct example_state *state = i2c_get_clientdata(client);
i2c_detach_client(client);
kfree(state);
return 0;
}
static int example_attach_adapter(struct i2c_adapter *adap)
{
return i2c_probe(adap, &addr_data, example_attach);
}
static struct i2c_driver example_driver = {
.driver = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.name = "example",
},
.attach_adapter = example_attach_adapter,
.detach_client = __devexit_p(example_detach),
.suspend = example_suspend,
.resume = example_resume,
};
Updating the client
-------------------
The new style binding model will check against a list of supported
devices and their associated address supplied by the code registering
the busses. This means that the driver .attach_adapter and
.detach_adapter methods can be removed, along with the addr_data,
as follows:
- static struct i2c_driver example_driver;
- static unsigned short ignore[] = { I2C_CLIENT_END };
- static unsigned short normal_addr[] = { OUR_ADDR, I2C_CLIENT_END };
- I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD;
- static int example_attach_adapter(struct i2c_adapter *adap)
- {
- return i2c_probe(adap, &addr_data, example_attach);
- }
static struct i2c_driver example_driver = {
- .attach_adapter = example_attach_adapter,
- .detach_client = __devexit_p(example_detach),
}
Add the probe and remove methods to the i2c_driver, as so:
static struct i2c_driver example_driver = {
+ .probe = example_probe,
+ .remove = __devexit_p(example_remove),
}
Change the example_attach method to accept the new parameters
which include the i2c_client that it will be working with:
- static int example_attach(struct i2c_adapter *adap, int addr, int kind)
+ static int example_probe(struct i2c_client *client,
+ const struct i2c_device_id *id)
Change the name of example_attach to example_probe to align it with the
i2c_driver entry names. The rest of the probe routine will now need to be
changed as the i2c_client has already been setup for use.
The necessary client fields have already been setup before
the probe function is called, so the following client setup
can be removed:
- example->client.addr = addr;
- example->client.flags = 0;
- example->client.adapter = adap;
-
- strlcpy(client->i2c_client.name, "example", I2C_NAME_SIZE);
The i2c_set_clientdata is now:
- i2c_set_clientdata(&state->client, state);
+ i2c_set_clientdata(client, state);
The call to i2c_attach_client is no longer needed, if the probe
routine exits successfully, then the driver will be automatically
attached by the core. Change the probe routine as so:
- ret = i2c_attach_client(&state->i2c_client);
- if (ret < 0) {
- dev_err(dev, "failed to attach client\n");
- kfree(state);
- return ret;
- }
Remove the storage of 'struct i2c_client' from the 'struct example_state'
as we are provided with the i2c_client in our example_probe. Instead we
store a pointer to it for when it is needed.
struct example_state {
- struct i2c_client client;
+ struct i2c_client *client;
the new i2c client as so:
- struct device *dev = &adap->dev; /* to use for dev_ reports */
+ struct device *dev = &i2c_client->dev; /* to use for dev_ reports */
And remove the change after our client is attached, as the driver no
longer needs to register a new client structure with the core:
- dev = &state->i2c_client.dev;
In the probe routine, ensure that the new state has the client stored
in it:
static int example_probe(struct i2c_client *i2c_client,
const struct i2c_device_id *id)
{
struct example_state *state;
struct device *dev = &i2c_client->dev;
int ret;
state = kzalloc(sizeof(struct example_state), GFP_KERNEL);
if (state == NULL) {
dev_err(dev, "failed to create our state\n");
return -ENOMEM;
}
+ state->client = i2c_client;
Update the detach method, by changing the name to _remove and
to delete the i2c_detach_client call. It is possible that you
can also remove the ret variable as it is not not needed for
any of the core functions.
- static int __devexit example_detach(struct i2c_client *client)
+ static int __devexit example_remove(struct i2c_client *client)
{
struct example_state *state = i2c_get_clientdata(client);
- i2c_detach_client(client);
And finally ensure that we have the correct ID table for the i2c-core
and other utilities:
+ struct i2c_device_id example_idtable[] = {
+ { "example", 0 },
+ { }
+};
+
+MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, example_idtable);
static struct i2c_driver example_driver = {
.driver = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.name = "example",
},
+ .id_table = example_ids,
Our driver should now look like this:
struct example_state {
struct i2c_client *client;
....
};
static int example_probe(struct i2c_client *client,
const struct i2c_device_id *id)
{
struct example_state *state;
struct device *dev = &client->dev;
state = kzalloc(sizeof(struct example_state), GFP_KERNEL);
if (state == NULL) {
dev_err(dev, "failed to create our state\n");
return -ENOMEM;
}
state->client = client;
i2c_set_clientdata(client, state);
/* rest of the initialisation goes here. */
dev_info(dev, "example client created\n");
return 0;
}
static int __devexit example_remove(struct i2c_client *client)
{
struct example_state *state = i2c_get_clientdata(client);
kfree(state);
return 0;
}
static struct i2c_device_id example_idtable[] = {
{ "example", 0 },
{ }
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, example_idtable);
static struct i2c_driver example_driver = {
.driver = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.name = "example",
},
.id_table = example_idtable,
.probe = example_probe,
.remove = __devexit_p(example_remove),
.suspend = example_suspend,
.resume = example_resume,
};

などのLinuxカーネルパッチ投稿に際しての心得を補足するものです。
1: 妥当なCONFIGオプションや変更されたCONFIGオプション、つまり =y, =m, =n
全てで正しくビルドできることを確認してください。その際、gcc及びリンカが
warningやerrorを出していないことも確認してください。
2: allnoconfig, allmodconfig オプションを用いて正しくビルドできることを
確認してください。
3: 手許のクロスコンパイルツールやOSDLのPLMのようなものを用いて、複数の
アーキテクチャにおいても正しくビルドできることを確認してください。
4: 64bit長の'unsigned long'を使用しているppc64は、クロスコンパイルでの
チェックに適当なアーキテクチャです。
5: カーネルコーディングスタイルに準拠しているかどうか確認してください(!)
6: CONFIGオプションの追加・変更をした場合には、CONFIGメニューが壊れていない
ことを確認してください。
7: 新しくKconfigのオプションを追加する際には、必ずそのhelpも記述してください。
8: 適切なKconfigの依存関係を考えながら慎重にチェックしてください。
ただし、この作業はマシンを使ったテストできちんと行うのがとても困難です。
うまくやるには、自分の頭で考えることです。
9: sparseを利用してちゃんとしたコードチェックをしてください。
10: 'make checkstack' と 'make namespacecheck' を利用し、問題が発見されたら
修正してください。'make checkstack' は明示的に問題を示しませんが、どれか
１つの関数が512バイトより大きいスタックを使っていれば、修正すべき候補と
なります。
11: グローバルなkernel API を説明する kernel-doc をソースの中に含めてください。
( staticな関数においては必須ではありませんが、含めてもらっても結構です )
そして、'make htmldocs' もしくは 'make mandocs' を利用して追記した
ドキュメントのチェックを行い、問題が見つかった場合には修正を行ってください。
12: CONFIG_PREEMPT, CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB,
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES, CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK,

3.2 Driver files and device naming convention
3.2 Driver files
The driver file may be obtained from ftp, CD-ROM or floppy disk. The
first step, anyway, is to copy driver file "mxser.tgz" into specified
directory. e.g. /moxa. The execute commands as below.
# cd /
# mkdir moxa
# cd /moxa
# tar xvf /dev/fd0

# tar xvfz mxser.tgz
3.3 Device naming convention
You may find all the driver and utilities files in /moxa/mxser.
Following installation procedure depends on the model you'd like to
run the driver. If you prefer module driver, please refer to 3.3.

------------- Prepare to use the MOXA driver--------------------
3.4.1 Create tty device with correct major number
Before using MOXA driver, your system must have the tty devices
which are created with driver's major number. We offer one shell
script "msmknod" to simplify the procedure.
This step is only needed to be executed once. But you still
need to do this procedure when:
a. You change the driver's major number. Please refer the "3.7"
section.
b. Your total installed MOXA boards number is changed. Maybe you
add/delete one MOXA board.
c. You want to change the tty name. This needs to modify the
shell script "msmknod"
# insmod mxser
to activate the modular driver. You may run "lsmod" to check
if "mxser.o" is activated.
2. Create special files by executing "msmknod".
The procedure is:
# cd /moxa/mxser/driver
# ./msmknod
Default major numbers for dial-in device and callout device are
174, 175. Msmknod will delete any special files occupying the same
device naming.
This shell script will require the major number for dial-in
device and callout device to create tty device. You also need
to specify the total installed MOXA board number. Default major
numbers for dial-in device and callout device are 30, 35. If
you need to change to other number, please refer section "3.7"
for more detailed procedure.
Msmknod will delete any special files occupying the same device
naming.
3. Up to now, you may manually execute "insmod mxser" to activate
this driver and run "rmmod mxser" to remove it. However, it's
better to have a boot time configuration to eliminate manual
operation.
Boot time configuration can be achieved by rc file. Run following
command for setting rc files.
3.4.2 Build the MOXA driver and utilities
Before using the MOXA driver and utilities, you need compile the
all the source code. This step is only need to be executed once.
But you still re-compile the source code if you modify the source
code. For example, if you change the driver's major number (see
"3.7" section), then you need to do this step again.
Find "Makefile" in /moxa/mxser, then run
# make clean; make install
!!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For Red Hat 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS3/ES3/WS3 & Fedora Core1:
# make clean; make installsp1
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS4/ES4/WS4:
# make clean; make installsp2
!!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The driver files "mxser.o" and utilities will be properly compiled
and copied to system directories respectively.
------------- Load MOXA driver--------------------
3.4.3 Load the MOXA driver
# modprobe mxser <argument>
will activate the module driver. You may run "lsmod" to check
if "mxser" is activated. If the MOXA board is ISA board, the
<argument> is needed. Please refer to section "3.4.5" for more
information.
------------- Load MOXA driver on boot --------------------
3.4.4 For the above description, you may manually execute
"modprobe mxser" to activate this driver and run
"rmmod mxser" to remove it.
However, it's better to have a boot time configuration to
eliminate manual operation. Boot time configuration can be
achieved by rc file. We offer one "rc.mxser" file to simplify
the procedure under "moxa/mxser/driver".
But if you use ISA board, please modify the "modprobe ..." command
to add the argument (see "3.4.5" section). After modifying the
rc.mxser, please try to execute "/moxa/mxser/driver/rc.mxser"
manually to make sure the modification is ok. If any error
encountered, please try to modify again. If the modification is
completed, follow the below step.
Run following command for setting rc files.
# cd /moxa/mxser/driver
# cp ./rc.mxser /etc/rc.d
# cd /etc/rc.d
You may have to modify part of the content in rc.mxser to specify
parameters for ISA board. Please refer to rc.mxser for more detail.
Find "rc.serial". If "rc.serial" doesn't exist, create it by vi.
Add "rc.mxser" in last line. Next, open rc.local by vi
and append following content.
Check "rc.serial" is existed or not. If "rc.serial" doesn't exist,
create it by vi, run "chmod 755 rc.serial" to change the permission.
Add "/etc/rc.d/rc.mxser" in last line,
if [ -f /etc/rc.d/rc.serial ]; then
sh /etc/rc.d/rc.serial
fi
Reboot and check if moxa.o activated by "lsmod" command.
4. Reboot and check if mxser.o activated by "lsmod" command.
5. If you'd like to drive Smartio ISA boards in the system, you'll
have to add parameter to specify CAP address of given board while
activating "mxser.o". The format for parameters are as follows.

Regulator Consumer Driver Interface
===================================
This text describes the regulator interface for consumer device drivers.
Please see overview.txt for a description of the terms used in this text.
1. Consumer Regulator Access (static & dynamic drivers)
=======================================================
A consumer driver can get access to it's supply regulator by calling :-
regulator = regulator_get(dev, "Vcc");
The consumer passes in it's struct device pointer and power supply ID. The core
then finds the correct regulator by consulting a machine specific lookup table.
If the lookup is successful then this call will return a pointer to the struct
regulator that supplies this consumer.
To release the regulator the consumer driver should call :-
regulator_put(regulator);
Consumers can be supplied by more than one regulator e.g. codec consumer with
analog and digital supplies :-
digital = regulator_get(dev, "Vcc"); /* digital core */
analog = regulator_get(dev, "Avdd"); /* analog */
The regulator access functions regulator_get() and regulator_put() will
usually be called in your device drivers probe() and remove() respectively.
2. Regulator Output Enable & Disable (static & dynamic drivers)
====================================================================
A consumer can enable it's power supply by calling:-
int regulator_enable(regulator);
NOTE: The supply may already be enabled before regulator_enabled() is called.
This may happen if the consumer shares the regulator or the regulator has been
previously enabled by bootloader or kernel board initialization code.
A consumer can determine if a regulator is enabled by calling :-
int regulator_is_enabled(regulator);
This will return > zero when the regulator is enabled.
A consumer can disable it's supply when no longer needed by calling :-
int regulator_disable(regulator);
NOTE: This may not disable the supply if it's shared with other consumers. The
regulator will only be disabled when the enabled reference count is zero.
Finally, a regulator can be forcefully disabled in the case of an emergency :-
int regulator_force_disable(regulator);
NOTE: this will immediately and forcefully shutdown the regulator output. All
consumers will be powered off.
3. Regulator Voltage Control & Status (dynamic drivers)
======================================================
Some consumer drivers need to be able to dynamically change their supply
voltage to match system operating points. e.g. CPUfreq drivers can scale
voltage along with frequency to save power, SD drivers may need to select the
correct card voltage, etc.
Consumers can control their supply voltage by calling :-
int regulator_set_voltage(regulator, min_uV, max_uV);
Where min_uV and max_uV are the minimum and maximum acceptable voltages in
microvolts.
NOTE: this can be called when the regulator is enabled or disabled. If called
when enabled, then the voltage changes instantly, otherwise the voltage
configuration changes and the voltage is physically set when the regulator is
next enabled.
The regulators configured voltage output can be found by calling :-
int regulator_get_voltage(regulator);
NOTE: get_voltage() will return the configured output voltage whether the
regulator is enabled or disabled and should NOT be used to determine regulator
output state. However this can be used in conjunction with is_enabled() to
determine the regulator physical output voltage.
4. Regulator Current Limit Control & Status (dynamic drivers)
===========================================================
Some consumer drivers need to be able to dynamically change their supply
current limit to match system operating points. e.g. LCD backlight driver can
change the current limit to vary the backlight brightness, USB drivers may want
to set the limit to 500mA when supplying power.
Consumers can control their supply current limit by calling :-
int regulator_set_current_limit(regulator, min_uV, max_uV);
Where min_uA and max_uA are the minimum and maximum acceptable current limit in
microamps.
NOTE: this can be called when the regulator is enabled or disabled. If called
when enabled, then the current limit changes instantly, otherwise the current
limit configuration changes and the current limit is physically set when the
regulator is next enabled.
A regulators current limit can be found by calling :-
int regulator_get_current_limit(regulator);
NOTE: get_current_limit() will return the current limit whether the regulator
is enabled or disabled and should not be used to determine regulator current
load.
5. Regulator Operating Mode Control & Status (dynamic drivers)
=============================================================
Some consumers can further save system power by changing the operating mode of
their supply regulator to be more efficient when the consumers operating state
changes. e.g. consumer driver is idle and subsequently draws less current
Regulator operating mode can be changed indirectly or directly.
Indirect operating mode control.
--------------------------------
Consumer drivers can request a change in their supply regulator operating mode
by calling :-
int regulator_set_optimum_mode(struct regulator *regulator, int load_uA);
This will cause the core to recalculate the total load on the regulator (based
on all it's consumers) and change operating mode (if necessary and permitted)
to best match the current operating load.
The load_uA value can be determined from the consumers datasheet. e.g.most
datasheets have tables showing the max current consumed in certain situations.
Most consumers will use indirect operating mode control since they have no
knowledge of the regulator or whether the regulator is shared with other
consumers.
Direct operating mode control.
------------------------------
Bespoke or tightly coupled drivers may want to directly control regulator
operating mode depending on their operating point. This can be achieved by
calling :-
int regulator_set_mode(struct regulator *regulator, unsigned int mode);
unsigned int regulator_get_mode(struct regulator *regulator);
Direct mode will only be used by consumers that *know* about the regulator and
are not sharing the regulator with other consumers.
6. Regulator Events
===================
Regulators can notify consumers of external events. Events could be received by
consumers under regulator stress or failure conditions.
Consumers can register interest in regulator events by calling :-
int regulator_register_notifier(struct regulator *regulator,
struct notifier_block *nb);
Consumers can uregister interest by calling :-
int regulator_unregister_notifier(struct regulator *regulator,
struct notifier_block *nb);
Regulators use the kernel notifier framework to send event to thier interested
consumers.

Regulator Machine Driver Interface
===================================
The regulator machine driver interface is intended for board/machine specific
initialisation code to configure the regulator subsystem. Typical things that
machine drivers would do are :-
1. Regulator -> Device mapping.
2. Regulator supply configuration.
3. Power Domain constraint setting.
1. Regulator -> device mapping
==============================
Consider the following machine :-
Regulator-1 -+-> Regulator-2 --> [Consumer A @ 1.8 - 2.0V]
|
+-> [Consumer B @ 3.3V]
The drivers for consumers A & B must be mapped to the correct regulator in
order to control their power supply. This mapping can be achieved in machine
initialisation code by calling :-
int regulator_set_device_supply(const char *regulator, struct device *dev,
const char *supply);
and is shown with the following code :-
regulator_set_device_supply("Regulator-1", devB, "Vcc");
regulator_set_device_supply("Regulator-2", devA, "Vcc");
This maps Regulator-1 to the 'Vcc' supply for Consumer B and maps Regulator-2
to the 'Vcc' supply for Consumer A.
2. Regulator supply configuration.
==================================
Consider the following machine (again) :-
Regulator-1 -+-> Regulator-2 --> [Consumer A @ 1.8 - 2.0V]
|
+-> [Consumer B @ 3.3V]
Regulator-1 supplies power to Regulator-2. This relationship must be registered
with the core so that Regulator-1 is also enabled when Consumer A enables it's
supply (Regulator-2).
This relationship can be register with the core via :-
int regulator_set_supply(const char *regulator, const char *regulator_supply);
In this example we would use the following code :-
regulator_set_supply("Regulator-2", "Regulator-1");
Relationships can be queried by calling :-
const char *regulator_get_supply(const char *regulator);
3. Power Domain constraint setting.
===================================
Each power domain within a system has physical constraints on voltage and
current. This must be defined in software so that the power domain is always
operated within specifications.
Consider the following machine (again) :-
Regulator-1 -+-> Regulator-2 --> [Consumer A @ 1.8 - 2.0V]
|

Linux voltage and current regulator framework
=============================================
About
=====
This framework is designed to provide a standard kernel interface to control
voltage and current regulators.
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).
(C) 2008 Wolfson Microelectronics PLC.
Author: Liam Girdwood <lg@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com>
Nomenclature
============
Some terms used in this document:-
o Regulator - Electronic device that supplies power to other devices.
Most regulators can enable and disable their output whilst
some can control their output voltage and or current.
Input Voltage -> Regulator -> Output Voltage
o PMIC - Power Management IC. An IC that contains numerous regulators
and often contains other susbsystems.
o Consumer - Electronic device that is supplied power by a regulator.
Consumers can be classified into two types:-
Static: consumer does not change it's supply voltage or
current limit. It only needs to enable or disable it's
power supply. It's supply voltage is set by the hardware,
bootloader, firmware or kernel board initialisation code.
Dynamic: consumer needs to change it's supply voltage or
current limit to meet operation demands.
o Power Domain - Electronic circuit that is supplied it's input power by the
output power of a regulator, switch or by another power
domain.
The supply regulator may be behind a switch(s). i.e.
Regulator -+-> Switch-1 -+-> Switch-2 --> [Consumer A]
| |
| +-> [Consumer B], [Consumer C]
|
+-> [Consumer D], [Consumer E]
That is one regulator and three power domains:
Domain 1: Switch-1, Consumers D & E.
Domain 2: Switch-2, Consumers B & C.
Domain 3: Consumer A.
and this represents a "supplies" relationship:
Domain-1 --> Domain-2 --> Domain-3.
A power domain may have regulators that are supplied power
by other regulators. i.e.
Regulator-1 -+-> Regulator-2 -+-> [Consumer A]
|
+-> [Consumer B]
This gives us two regulators and two power domains:
Domain 1: Regulator-2, Consumer B.
Domain 2: Consumer A.
and a "supplies" relationship:
Domain-1 --> Domain-2
o Constraints - Constraints are used to define power levels for performance
and hardware protection. Constraints exist at three levels:
Regulator Level: This is defined by the regulator hardware
operating parameters and is specified in the regulator
datasheet. i.e.
- voltage output is in the range 800mV -> 3500mV.
- regulator current output limit is 20mA @ 5V but is
10mA @ 10V.
Power Domain Level: This is defined in software by kernel
level board initialisation code. It is used to constrain a
power domain to a particular power range. i.e.
- Domain-1 voltage is 3300mV
- Domain-2 voltage is 1400mV -> 1600mV
- Domain-3 current limit is 0mA -> 20mA.
Consumer Level: This is defined by consumer drivers
dynamically setting voltage or current limit levels.
e.g. a consumer backlight driver asks for a current increase
from 5mA to 10mA to increase LCD illumination. This passes
to through the levels as follows :-
Consumer: need to increase LCD brightness. Lookup and
request next current mA value in brightness table (the
consumer driver could be used on several different
personalities based upon the same reference device).
Power Domain: is the new current limit within the domain
operating limits for this domain and system state (e.g.
battery power, USB power)
Regulator Domains: is the new current limit within the
regulator operating parameters for input/ouput voltage.
If the regulator request passes all the constraint tests
then the new regulator value is applied.
Design
======
The framework is designed and targeted at SoC based devices but may also be
relevant to non SoC devices and is split into the following four interfaces:-
1. Consumer driver interface.
This uses a similar API to the kernel clock interface in that consumer
drivers can get and put a regulator (like they can with clocks atm) and
get/set voltage, current limit, mode, enable and disable. This should
allow consumers complete control over their supply voltage and current
limit. This also compiles out if not in use so drivers can be reused in
systems with no regulator based power control.
See Documentation/power/regulator/consumer.txt
2. Regulator driver interface.
This allows regulator drivers to register their regulators and provide
operations to the core. It also has a notifier call chain for propagating
regulator events to clients.
See Documentation/power/regulator/regulator.txt
3. Machine interface.
This interface is for machine specific code and allows the creation of
voltage/current domains (with constraints) for each regulator. It can
provide regulator constraints that will prevent device damage through
overvoltage or over current caused by buggy client drivers. It also
allows the creation of a regulator tree whereby some regulators are
supplied by others (similar to a clock tree).
See Documentation/power/regulator/machine.txt
4. Userspace ABI.
The framework also exports a lot of useful voltage/current/opmode data to
userspace via sysfs. This could be used to help monitor device power
consumption and status.
See Documentation/ABI/testing/regulator-sysfs.txt

Regulator Driver Interface
==========================
The regulator driver interface is relatively simple and designed to allow
regulator drivers to register their services with the core framework.
Registration
============
Drivers can register a regulator by calling :-
struct regulator_dev *regulator_register(struct regulator_desc *regulator_desc,
void *reg_data);
This will register the regulators capabilities and operations the regulator
core. The core does not touch reg_data (private to regulator driver).
Regulators can be unregistered by calling :-
void regulator_unregister(struct regulator_dev *rdev);
Regulator Events
================
Regulators can send events (e.g. over temp, under voltage, etc) to consumer
drivers by calling :-
int regulator_notifier_call_chain(struct regulator_dev *rdev,
unsigned long event, void *data);

* EST SBC8260 Linux memory mapping rules
http://www.estc.com/
http://www.estc.com/products/boards/SBC8260-8240_ds.html
Initial conditions:
-------------------
Tasks that need to be perform by the boot ROM before control is
transferred to zImage (compressed Linux kernel):
- Define the IMMR to 0xf0000000
- Initialize the memory controller so that RAM is available at
physical address 0x00000000. On the SBC8260 is this 16M (64M)
SDRAM.
- The boot ROM should only clear the RAM that it is using.
The reason for doing this is to enhances the chances of a
successful post mortem on a Linux panic. One of the first
items to examine is the 16k (LOG_BUF_LEN) circular console
buffer called log_buf which is defined in kernel/printk.c.
- To enhance boot ROM performance, the I-cache can be enabled.
Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 14:21:10 -0700
From: Neil Russell <caret@c-side.com>
LiMon (LInux MONitor) runs with and starts Linux with MMU
off, I-cache enabled, D-cache disabled. The I-cache doesn't
need hints from the MMU to work correctly as the D-cache
does. No D-cache means no special code to handle devices in
the presence of cache (no snooping, etc). The use of the
I-cache means that the monitor can run acceptably fast
directly from ROM, rather than having to copy it to RAM.
- Build the board information structure (see
include/asm-ppc/est8260.h for its definition)
- The compressed Linux kernel (zImage) contains a bootstrap loader
that is position independent; you can load it into any RAM,
ROM or FLASH memory address >= 0x00500000 (above 5 MB), or
at its link address of 0x00400000 (4 MB).
Note: If zImage is loaded at its link address of 0x00400000 (4 MB),
then zImage will skip the step of moving itself to
its link address.
- Load R3 with the address of the board information structure
- Transfer control to zImage
- The Linux console port is SMC1, and the baud rate is controlled
from the bi_baudrate field of the board information structure.
On thing to keep in mind when picking the baud rate, is that
there is no flow control on the SMC ports. I would stick
with something safe and standard like 19200.
On the EST SBC8260, the SMC1 port is on the COM1 connector of
the board.
EST SBC8260 defaults:
---------------------
Chip
Memory Sel Bus Use
--------------------- --- --- ----------------------------------
0x00000000-0x03FFFFFF CS2 60x (16M or 64M)/64M SDRAM
0x04000000-0x04FFFFFF CS4 local 4M/16M SDRAM (soldered to the board)
0x21000000-0x21000000 CS7 60x 1B/64K Flash present detect (from the flash SIMM)
0x21000001-0x21000001 CS7 60x 1B/64K Switches (read) and LEDs (write)
0x22000000-0x2200FFFF CS5 60x 8K/64K EEPROM
0xFC000000-0xFCFFFFFF CS6 60x 2M/16M flash (8 bits wide, soldered to the board)
0xFE000000-0xFFFFFFFF CS0 60x 4M/16M flash (SIMM)
Notes:
------
- The chip selects can map 32K blocks and up (powers of 2)
- The SDRAM machine can handled up to 128Mbytes per chip select
- Linux uses the 60x bus memory (the SDRAM DIMM) for the
communications buffers.
- BATs can map 128K-256Mbytes each. There are four data BATs and
four instruction BATs. Generally the data and instruction BATs
are mapped the same.
- The IMMR must be set above the kernel virtual memory addresses,
which start at 0xC0000000. Otherwise, the kernel may crash as
soon as you start any threads or processes due to VM collisions
in the kernel or user process space.
Details from Dan Malek <dan_malek@mvista.com> on 10/29/1999:
The user application virtual space consumes the first 2 Gbytes
(0x00000000 to 0x7FFFFFFF). The kernel virtual text starts at
0xC0000000, with data following. There is a "protection hole"
between the end of kernel data and the start of the kernel
dynamically allocated space, but this space is still within
0xCxxxxxxx.
Obviously the kernel can't map any physical addresses 1:1 in
these ranges.
Details from Dan Malek <dan_malek@mvista.com> on 5/19/2000:
During the early kernel initialization, the kernel virtual
memory allocator is not operational. Prior to this KVM
initialization, we choose to map virtual to physical addresses
1:1. That is, the kernel virtual address exactly matches the
physical address on the bus. These mappings are typically done
in arch/ppc/kernel/head.S, or arch/ppc/mm/init.c. Only
absolutely necessary mappings should be done at this time, for
example board control registers or a serial uart. Normal device
driver initialization should map resources later when necessary.
Although platform dependent, and certainly the case for embedded
8xx, traditionally memory is mapped at physical address zero,
and I/O devices above physical address 0x80000000. The lowest
and highest (above 0xf0000000) I/O addresses are traditionally
used for devices or registers we need to map during kernel
initialization and prior to KVM operation. For this reason,
and since it followed prior PowerPC platform examples, I chose
to map the embedded 8xx kernel to the 0xc0000000 virtual address.
This way, we can enable the MMU to map the kernel for proper
operation, and still map a few windows before the KVM is operational.
On some systems, you could possibly run the kernel at the
0x80000000 or any other virtual address. It just depends upon
mapping that must be done prior to KVM operational. You can never
map devices or kernel spaces that overlap with the user virtual
space. This is why default IMMR mapping used by most BDM tools
won't work. They put the IMMR at something like 0x10000000 or
0x02000000 for example. You simply can't map these addresses early
in the kernel, and continue proper system operation.
The embedded 8xx/82xx kernel is mature enough that all you should
need to do is map the IMMR someplace at or above 0xf0000000 and it
should boot far enough to get serial console messages and KGDB
connected on any platform. There are lots of other subtle memory
management design features that you simply don't need to worry
about. If you are changing functions related to MMU initialization,
you are likely breaking things that are known to work and are
heading down a path of disaster and frustration. Your changes
should be to make the flexibility of the processor fit Linux,
not force arbitrary and non-workable memory mappings into Linux.
- You don't want to change KERNELLOAD or KERNELBASE, otherwise the
virtual memory and MMU code will get confused.
arch/ppc/Makefile:KERNELLOAD = 0xc0000000
include/asm-ppc/page.h:#define PAGE_OFFSET 0xc0000000
include/asm-ppc/page.h:#define KERNELBASE PAGE_OFFSET
- RAM is at physical address 0x00000000, and gets mapped to
virtual address 0xC0000000 for the kernel.
Physical addresses used by the Linux kernel:
--------------------------------------------
0x00000000-0x3FFFFFFF 1GB reserved for RAM
0xF0000000-0xF001FFFF 128K IMMR 64K used for dual port memory,
64K for 8260 registers
Logical addresses used by the Linux kernel:

0xF0000000-0xFFFFFFFF 256M BAT0 (IMMR: dual port RAM, registers)
0xE0000000-0xEFFFFFFF 256M BAT1 (I/O space for custom boards)

s) SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) busses
SPI busses can be described with a node for the SPI master device
and a set of child nodes for each SPI slave on the bus. For this
discussion, it is assumed that the system's SPI controller is in
SPI master mode. This binding does not describe SPI controllers
in slave mode.
The SPI master node requires the following properties:
- #address-cells - number of cells required to define a chip select
address on the SPI bus.
- #size-cells - should be zero.
- compatible - name of SPI bus controller following generic names
recommended practice.
No other properties are required in the SPI bus node. It is assumed
that a driver for an SPI bus device will understand that it is an SPI bus.
However, the binding does not attempt to define the specific method for
assigning chip select numbers. Since SPI chip select configuration is
flexible and non-standardized, it is left out of this binding with the
assumption that board specific platform code will be used to manage
chip selects. Individual drivers can define additional properties to
support describing the chip select layout.
SPI slave nodes must be children of the SPI master node and can
contain the following properties.
- reg - (required) chip select address of device.
- compatible - (required) name of SPI device following generic names
recommended practice
- spi-max-frequency - (required) Maximum SPI clocking speed of device in Hz
- spi-cpol - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
inverse clock polarity (CPOL) mode
- spi-cpha - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
shifted clock phase (CPHA) mode
