KernelVersion: 2.6.38
Contact: Marc Kleine-Budde <kernel@pengutronix.de>
Description:
Value representing the can_id of mailbox 0.
Default: 0x7ff (standard frame)
Due to a chip bug (errata 50.2.6.3 & 50.3.5.3 in
"AT91SAM9263 Preliminary 6249H-ATARM-27-Jul-09") the
contents of mailbox 0 may be send under certain
conditions (even if disabled or in rx mode).
The workaround in the errata suggests not to use the
mailbox and load it with an unused identifier.
In order to use an extended can_id add the
CAN_EFF_FLAG (0x80000000U) to the can_id. Example:
- standard id 0x7ff:
echo 0x7ff > /sys/class/net/can0/mb0_id
- extended id 0x1fffffff:
echo 0x9fffffff > /sys/class/net/can0/mb0_id

Get the detailed info related with the IPMI device
--------------------------------------------------
Some users need more detailed information about a device, like where
the address came from or the raw base device for the IPMI interface.
You can use the IPMI smi_watcher to catch the IPMI interfaces as they
come or go, and to grab the information, you can use the function
ipmi_get_smi_info(), which returns the following structure:
struct ipmi_smi_info {

Hierarchical Cgroups
====================
- Currently none of the IO control policy supports hierarhical groups. But
cgroup interface does allow creation of hierarhical cgroups and internally
IO policies treat them as flat hierarchy.
So this patch will allow creation of cgroup hierarhcy but at the backend
everything will be treated as flat. So if somebody created a hierarchy like
as follows.
root

test3
CFQ and throttling will practically treat all groups at same level.

Down the line we can implement hierarchical accounting/control support
and also introduce a new cgroup file "use_hierarchy" which will control
whether cgroup hierarchy is viewed as flat or hierarchical by the policy..
This is how memory controller also has implemented the things.

Device-mapper RAID (dm-raid) is a bridge from DM to MD. It
provides a way to use device-mapper interfaces to access the MD RAID
drivers.
As with all device-mapper targets, the nominal public interfaces are the
constructor (CTR) tables and the status outputs (both STATUSTYPE_INFO
and STATUSTYPE_TABLE). The CTR table looks like the following:
1: <s> <l> raid \
2: <raid_type> <#raid_params> <raid_params> \
3: <#raid_devs> <meta_dev1> <dev1> .. <meta_devN> <devN>
Line 1 contains the standard first three arguments to any device-mapper
target - the start, length, and target type fields. The target type in
this case is "raid".
Line 2 contains the arguments that define the particular raid
type/personality/level, the required arguments for that raid type, and
any optional arguments. Possible raid types include: raid4, raid5_la,
raid5_ls, raid5_rs, raid6_zr, raid6_nr, and raid6_nc. (raid1 is
planned for the future.) The list of required and optional parameters
is the same for all the current raid types. The required parameters are
positional, while the optional parameters are given as key/value pairs.
The possible parameters are as follows:
<chunk_size> Chunk size in sectors.
[[no]sync] Force/Prevent RAID initialization
[rebuild <idx>] Rebuild the drive indicated by the index
[daemon_sleep <ms>] Time between bitmap daemon work to clear bits
[min_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>] Throttle RAID initialization
[max_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>] Throttle RAID initialization
[max_write_behind <sectors>] See '-write-behind=' (man mdadm)
[stripe_cache <sectors>] Stripe cache size for higher RAIDs
Line 3 contains the list of devices that compose the array in
metadata/data device pairs. If the metadata is stored separately, a '-'
is given for the metadata device position. If a drive has failed or is
missing at creation time, a '-' can be given for both the metadata and
data drives for a given position.
NB. Currently all metadata devices must be specified as '-'.
Examples:
# RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity
# No metadata devices specified to hold superblock/bitmap info
# Chunk size of 1MiB
# (Lines separated for easy reading)
0 1960893648 raid \
raid4 1 2048 \
5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81
# RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity (no metadata devices)
# Chunk size of 1MiB, force RAID initialization,
# min recovery rate at 20 kiB/sec/disk
0 1960893648 raid \
raid4 4 2048 min_recovery_rate 20 sync\
5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81
Performing a 'dmsetup table' should display the CTR table used to
construct the mapping (with possible reordering of optional
parameters).
Performing a 'dmsetup status' will yield information on the state and
health of the array. The output is as follows:
1: <s> <l> raid \
2: <raid_type> <#devices> <1 health char for each dev> <resync_ratio>
Line 1 is standard DM output. Line 2 is best shown by example:
0 1960893648 raid raid4 5 AAAAA 2/490221568
Here we can see the RAID type is raid4, there are 5 devices - all of
which are 'A'live, and the array is 2/490221568 complete with recovery.

others have them in the following order
(SR,ER,FR). For the second case set

- suspend : specifier consist of one cell. For each
bit in the cell, the corresponding bit

and suspend the corresponding bits can
be different or the same. Usually for
standby only class 2 and 3 units are set.
However, the interface does not care.

Currently, board support is essentially an exclusive config option.

part of this is due to the fact the code is already that way. In the

A kernel image may support multiple platforms, but only if the
platforms feature the same core architecture. A single kernel build
cannot support both configurations with Book E and configurations
with classic Powerpc architectures.
32-bit embedded platforms that are moved into arch/powerpc using a
flattened device tree should adopt the merged tree practice of
setting ppc_md up dynamically, even though the kernel is currently
built with support for only a single platform at a time. This allows
unification of the setup code, and will make it easier to go to a
multiple-platform-support model in the future.
NOTE: I believe the above will be true once Ben's done with the merge
of the boot sequences.... someone speak up if this is wrong!
To add a 32-bit embedded platform support, follow the instructions
for 64-bit platforms above, with the exception that the Kconfig
option should be set up such that the kernel builds exclusively for
the platform selected. The processor type for the platform should
enable another config option to select the specific board
supported.

Currently, there are many devices on SOCs that do not have a standard

specifications, mainly because the boards that contain these SOCs are
not currently booted using open firmware. This section contains
descriptions for the SOC devices for which new nodes have been
defined; this list will expand as more and more SOC-containing
platforms are moved over to use the flattened-device-tree model.

Description
-----------
The DS620 is a (one instance) digital thermometer and thermostat. It has both
high and low temperature limits which can be user defined (i.e. programmed
into non-volatile on-chip registers). Temperature range is -55 degree Celsius
to +125. Between 0 and 70 degree Celsius, accuracy is 0.5 Kelvin. The value
returned via sysfs displays post decimal positions.
The thermostat function works as follows: When configured via platform_data
(struct ds620_platform_data) .pomode == 0 (default), the thermostat output pin
PO is always low. If .pomode == 1, the thermostat is in PO_LOW mode. I.e., the
output pin PO becomes active when the temperature falls below temp1_min and
stays active until the temperature goes above temp1_max.
Likewise, with .pomode == 2, the thermostat is in PO_HIGH mode. I.e., the PO
output pin becomes active when the temperature goes above temp1_max and stays
active until the temperature falls below temp1_min.
The PO output pin of the DS620 operates active-low.
