This directory attempts to document the ABI between the Linux kernel and
userspace, and the relative stability of these interfaces. Due to the
everchanging nature of Linux, and the differing maturity levels, these
interfaces should be used by userspace programs in different ways.
We have four different levels of ABI stability, as shown by the four
different subdirectories in this location. Interfaces may change levels
of stability according to the rules described below.
The different levels of stability are:
stable/
This directory documents the interfaces that the developer has
defined to be stable. Userspace programs are free to use these
interfaces with no restrictions, and backward compatibility for
them will be guaranteed for at least 2 years. Most interfaces
(like syscalls) are expected to never change and always be
available.
testing/
This directory documents interfaces that are felt to be stable,
as the main development of this interface has been completed.
The interface can be changed to add new features, but the
current interface will not break by doing this, unless grave
errors or security problems are found in them. Userspace
programs can start to rely on these interfaces, but they must be
aware of changes that can occur before these interfaces move to
be marked stable. Programs that use these interfaces are
strongly encouraged to add their name to the description of
these interfaces, so that the kernel developers can easily
notify them if any changes occur (see the description of the
layout of the files below for details on how to do this.)
obsolete/
This directory documents interfaces that are still remaining in
the kernel, but are marked to be removed at some later point in
time. The description of the interface will document the reason
why it is obsolete and when it can be expected to be removed.
The file Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt may describe
some of these interfaces, giving a schedule for when they will
be removed.
removed/
This directory contains a list of the old interfaces that have
been removed from the kernel.
Every file in these directories will contain the following information:
What: Short description of the interface
Date: Date created
KernelVersion: Kernel version this feature first showed up in.
Contact: Primary contact for this interface (may be a mailing list)
Description: Long description of the interface and how to use it.
Users: All users of this interface who wish to be notified when
it changes. This is very important for interfaces in
the "testing" stage, so that kernel developers can work
with userspace developers to ensure that things do not
break in ways that are unacceptable. It is also
important to get feedback for these interfaces to make
sure they are working in a proper way and do not need to
be changed further.
How things move between levels:
Interfaces in stable may move to obsolete, as long as the proper
notification is given.
Interfaces may be removed from obsolete and the kernel as long as the
documented amount of time has gone by.
Interfaces in the testing state can move to the stable state when the
developers feel they are finished. They cannot be removed from the
kernel tree without going through the obsolete state first.
It's up to the developer to place their interfaces in the category they
wish for it to start out in.

See next chapter.
Chapter 5: Functions
Chapter 5: Typedefs
Please don't use things like "vps_t".
It's a _mistake_ to use typedef for structures and pointers. When you see a
vps_t a;
in the source, what does it mean?
In contrast, if it says
struct virtual_container *a;
you can actually tell what "a" is.
Lots of people think that typedefs "help readability". Not so. They are
useful only for:
(a) totally opaque objects (where the typedef is actively used to _hide_
what the object is).
Example: "pte_t" etc. opaque objects that you can only access using
the proper accessor functions.
NOTE! Opaqueness and "accessor functions" are not good in themselves.
The reason we have them for things like pte_t etc. is that there
really is absolutely _zero_ portably accessible information there.
(b) Clear integer types, where the abstraction _helps_ avoid confusion
whether it is "int" or "long".
u8/u16/u32 are perfectly fine typedefs, although they fit into
category (d) better than here.
NOTE! Again - there needs to be a _reason_ for this. If something is
"unsigned long", then there's no reason to do
typedef unsigned long myflags_t;
but if there is a clear reason for why it under certain circumstances
might be an "unsigned int" and under other configurations might be
"unsigned long", then by all means go ahead and use a typedef.
(c) when you use sparse to literally create a _new_ type for
type-checking.
(d) New types which are identical to standard C99 types, in certain
exceptional circumstances.
Although it would only take a short amount of time for the eyes and
brain to become accustomed to the standard types like 'uint32_t',
some people object to their use anyway.
Therefore, the Linux-specific 'u8/u16/u32/u64' types and their
signed equivalents which are identical to standard types are
permitted -- although they are not mandatory in new code of your
own.
When editing existing code which already uses one or the other set
of types, you should conform to the existing choices in that code.
(e) Types safe for use in userspace.
In certain structures which are visible to userspace, we cannot
require C99 types and cannot use the 'u32' form above. Thus, we
use __u32 and similar types in all structures which are shared
with userspace.
Maybe there are other cases too, but the rule should basically be to NEVER
EVER use a typedef unless you can clearly match one of those rules.
In general, a pointer, or a struct that has elements that can reasonably
be directly accessed should _never_ be a typedef.

it usually results in simpler code. So, unless update
performance is critically important or the updaters cannot block,
synchronize_rcu() should be used in preference to call_rcu().
An especially important property of the synchronize_rcu()
primitive is that it automatically self-limits: if grace periods
are delayed for whatever reason, then the synchronize_rcu()
primitive will correspondingly delay updates. In contrast,
code using call_rcu() should explicitly limit update rate in
cases where grace periods are delayed, as failing to do so can
result in excessive realtime latencies or even OOM conditions.
Ways of gaining this self-limiting property when using call_rcu()
include:
a. Keeping a count of the number of data-structure elements
used by the RCU-protected data structure, including those
waiting for a grace period to elapse. Enforce a limit
on this number, stalling updates as needed to allow
previously deferred frees to complete.
Alternatively, limit only the number awaiting deferred
free rather than the total number of elements.
b. Limiting update rate. For example, if updates occur only
once per hour, then no explicit rate limiting is required,
unless your system is already badly broken. The dcache
subsystem takes this approach -- updates are guarded
by a global lock, limiting their rate.
c. Trusted update -- if updates can only be done manually by
superuser or some other trusted user, then it might not
be necessary to automatically limit them. The theory
here is that superuser already has lots of ways to crash
the machine.
d. Use call_rcu_bh() rather than call_rcu(), in order to take
advantage of call_rcu_bh()'s faster grace periods.
e. Periodically invoke synchronize_rcu(), permitting a limited
number of updates per grace period.

Linux Kernel patch sumbittal checklist
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are some basic things that developers should do if they
want to see their kernel patch submittals accepted quicker.
These are all above and beyond the documentation that is provided
in Documentation/SubmittingPatches and elsewhere about submitting
Linux kernel patches.
- Builds cleanly with applicable or modified CONFIG options =y, =m, and =n.
No gcc warnings/errors, no linker warnings/errors.
- Passes allnoconfig, allmodconfig
- Builds on multiple CPU arch-es by using local cross-compile tools
or something like PLM at OSDL.
- ppc64 is a good architecture for cross-compilation checking because it
tends to use `unsigned long' for 64-bit quantities.
- Matches kernel coding style(!)
- Any new or modified CONFIG options don't muck up the config menu.
- All new Kconfig options have help text.
- Has been carefully reviewed with respect to relevant Kconfig
combinations. This is very hard to get right with testing --
brainpower pays off here.
- Check cleanly with sparse.
- Use 'make checkstack' and 'make namespacecheck' and fix any
problems that they find. Note: checkstack does not point out
problems explicitly, but any one function that uses more than
512 bytes on the stack is a candidate for change.
- Include kernel-doc to document global kernel APIs. (Not required
for static functions, but OK there also.) Use 'make htmldocs'
or 'make mandocs' to check the kernel-doc and fix any issues.
- Has been tested with CONFIG_PREEMPT, CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT,
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES,
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP all simultaneously
enabled.
- Has been build- and runtime tested with and without CONFIG_SMP and
CONFIG_PREEMPT.
- If the patch affects IO/Disk, etc: has been tested with and without
CONFIG_LBD.

require tuning of this threshold. The driver exposes some of it's

The threshold is the current touch threshold. It defaults to 750 on
most targets.
# cat threshold
750
The threshold_range contains the range of valid values for the
threshold. Values outside of this range will be silently ignored.
# cat threshold_range
0 1023
To change the threshold, write a value to the threshold file.
# echo 500 > threshold
# cat threshold
500
The samples file contains the most recently sampled values from the
ADC. There are 12. Below are typical of the last sampled values when
the pen has been released. The first two and last two samples are for
detecting whether or not the pen is down. The third through sixth are
X coordinate samples. The seventh through tenth are Y coordinate
samples.
# cat samples
1023 1023 0 0 0 0 530 529 530 529 1023 1023
To determine a reasonable threshold, press on the touch panel with an
appropriate stylus and read the values from samples.
# cat samples
1023 676 92 103 101 102 855 919 922 922 1023 679
The first and eleventh samples are discarded. Thus, the important
values are the second and twelfth which are used to determine if the
pen is down. When both are below the threshold, the driver registers
that the pen is down. When either is above the threshold, it
registers then pen is up.

README on the LCD Panels
========================
Configuration options for several LCD panels, available from Logic PD,
are included in the kernel source. This README will help you
understand the configuration data and give you some guidance for
adding support for other panels if you wish.
lcd-panels.h
------------
There is no way, at present, to detect which panel is attached to the
system at runtime. Thus the kernel configuration is static. The file
arch/arm/mach-ld7a40x/lcd-panels.h (or similar) defines all of the
panel specific parameters.
It should be possible for this data to be shared among several device
families. The current layout may be insufficiently general, but it is
amenable to improvement.
PIXEL_CLOCK
-----------
The panel data sheets will give a range of acceptable pixel clocks.
The fundamental LCDCLK input frequency is divided down by a PCD
constant in field '.tim2'. It may happen that it is impossible to set
the pixel clock within this range. A clock which is too slow will
tend to flicker. For the highest quality image, set the clock as high
as possible.
MARGINS
-------
These values may be difficult to glean from the panel data sheet. In
the case of the Sharp panels, the upper margin is explicitly called
out as a specific number of lines from the top of the frame. The
other values may not matter as much as the panels tend to
automatically center the image.
Sync Sense
----------
The sense of the hsync and vsync pulses may be called out in the data
sheet. On one panel, the sense of these pulses determine the height
of the visible region on the panel. Most of the Sharp panels use
negative sense sync pulses set by the TIM2_IHS and TIM2_IVS bits in
'.tim2'.
Pel Layout
----------
The Sharp color TFT panels are all configured for 16 bit direct color
modes. The amba-lcd driver sets the pel mode to 565 for 5 bits of
each red and blue and 6 bits of green.

Interrupting filesystem operations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If a process issuing a FUSE filesystem request is interrupted, the
following will happen:
1) If the request is not yet sent to userspace AND the signal is
fatal (SIGKILL or unhandled fatal signal), then the request is
dequeued and returns immediately.
2) If the request is not yet sent to userspace AND the signal is not
fatal, then an 'interrupted' flag is set for the request. When
the request has been successfully transfered to userspace and
this flag is set, an INTERRUPT request is queued.
3) If the request is already sent to userspace, then an INTERRUPT
request is queued.
INTERRUPT requests take precedence over other requests, so the
userspace filesystem will receive queued INTERRUPTs before any others.
The userspace filesystem may ignore the INTERRUPT requests entirely,
or may honor them by sending a reply to the _original_ request, with
the error set to EINTR.
It is also possible that there's a race between processing the
original request and it's INTERRUPT request. There are two possibilities:
1) The INTERRUPT request is processed before the original request is
processed
2) The INTERRUPT request is processed after the original request has
been answered
If the filesystem cannot find the original request, it should wait for
some timeout and/or a number of new requests to arrive, after which it
should reply to the INTERRUPT request with an EAGAIN error. In case

An additional problem is that while the write buffer is being copied

This is solved with doing the copy atomically, and allowing

when the copy is taking place, and interruption is delayed until
this flag is unset.

int inotify_rm_watch (int fd, __u32 mask);
(iii) Internal Kernel Implementation
(iii) Kernel Interface
Each inotify instance is associated with an inotify_device structure.
Inotify's kernel API consists a set of functions for managing watches and an
event callback.
To use the kernel API, you must first initialize an inotify instance with a set
of inotify_operations. You are given an opaque inotify_handle, which you use
for any further calls to inotify.
struct inotify_handle *ih = inotify_init(my_event_handler);
You must provide a function for processing events and a function for destroying
the inotify watch.
void handle_event(struct inotify_watch *watch, u32 wd, u32 mask,
u32 cookie, const char *name, struct inode *inode)
watch - the pointer to the inotify_watch that triggered this call
wd - the watch descriptor
mask - describes the event that occurred
cookie - an identifier for synchronizing events
name - the dentry name for affected files in a directory-based event
inode - the affected inode in a directory-based event
void destroy_watch(struct inotify_watch *watch)
You may add watches by providing a pre-allocated and initialized inotify_watch
structure and specifying the inode to watch along with an inotify event mask.
You must pin the inode during the call. You will likely wish to embed the
inotify_watch structure in a structure of your own which contains other
information about the watch. Once you add an inotify watch, it is immediately
subject to removal depending on filesystem events. You must grab a reference if
you depend on the watch hanging around after the call.
inotify_init_watch(&my_watch->iwatch);
inotify_get_watch(&my_watch->iwatch); // optional
s32 wd = inotify_add_watch(ih, &my_watch->iwatch, inode, mask);
inotify_put_watch(&my_watch->iwatch); // optional
You may use the watch descriptor (wd) or the address of the inotify_watch for
other inotify operations. You must not directly read or manipulate data in the
inotify_watch. Additionally, you must not call inotify_add_watch() more than
once for a given inotify_watch structure, unless you have first called either
inotify_rm_watch() or inotify_rm_wd().
To determine if you have already registered a watch for a given inode, you may
call inotify_find_watch(), which gives you both the wd and the watch pointer for
the inotify_watch, or an error if the watch does not exist.
wd = inotify_find_watch(ih, inode, &watchp);
You may use container_of() on the watch pointer to access your own data
associated with a given watch. When an existing watch is found,
inotify_find_watch() bumps the refcount before releasing its locks. You must
put that reference with:
put_inotify_watch(watchp);
Call inotify_find_update_watch() to update the event mask for an existing watch.
inotify_find_update_watch() returns the wd of the updated watch, or an error if
the watch does not exist.
wd = inotify_find_update_watch(ih, inode, mask);
An existing watch may be removed by calling either inotify_rm_watch() or
inotify_rm_wd().
int ret = inotify_rm_watch(ih, &my_watch->iwatch);
int ret = inotify_rm_wd(ih, wd);
A watch may be removed while executing your event handler with the following:
inotify_remove_watch_locked(ih, iwatch);
Call inotify_destroy() to remove all watches from your inotify instance and
release it. If there are no outstanding references, inotify_destroy() will call
your destroy_watch op for each watch.
inotify_destroy(ih);
When inotify removes a watch, it sends an IN_IGNORED event to your callback.
You may use this event as an indication to free the watch memory. Note that
inotify may remove a watch due to filesystem events, as well as by your request.
If you use IN_ONESHOT, inotify will remove the watch after the first event, at
which point you may call the final inotify_put_watch.

Note: The cpio man page contains some bad advice that will break your initramfs
archive if you follow it. It says "A typical way to generate the list
of filenames is with the find command; you should give find the -depth option
to minimize problems with permissions on directories that are unwritable or not
searchable." Don't do this when creating initramfs.cpio.gz images, it won't
work. The Linux kernel cpio extractor won't create files in a directory that
doesn't exist, so the directory entries must go before the files that go in
those directories. The above script gets them in the right order.
External initramfs images:
--------------------------
If the kernel has initrd support enabled, an external cpio.gz archive can also
be passed into a 2.6 kernel in place of an initrd. In this case, the kernel
will autodetect the type (initramfs, not initrd) and extract the external cpio
archive into rootfs before trying to run /init.
This has the memory efficiency advantages of initramfs (no ramdisk block
device) but the separate packaging of initrd (which is nice if you have
non-GPL code you'd like to run from initramfs, without conflating it with
the GPL licensed Linux kernel binary).
It can also be used to supplement the kernel's built-in initamfs image. The
files in the external archive will overwrite any conflicting files in
the built-in initramfs archive. Some distributors also prefer to customize
a single kernel image with task-specific initramfs images, without recompiling.

Kernel driver abituguru
=======================
Supported chips:
* Abit uGuru (Hardware Monitor part only)
Prefix: 'abituguru'
Addresses scanned: ISA 0x0E0
Datasheet: Not available, this driver is based on reverse engineering.
A "Datasheet" has been written based on the reverse engineering it
should be available in the same dir as this file under the name
abituguru-datasheet.
Authors:

* force: bool Force detection. Note this parameter only causes the
detection to be skipped, if the uGuru can't be read
the module initialization (insmod) will still fail.
* fan_sensors: int Tell the driver how many fan speed sensors there are
on your motherboard. Default: 0 (autodetect).
* pwms: int Tell the driver how many fan speed controls (fan
pwms) your motherboard has. Default: 0 (autodetect).
* verbose: int How verbose should the driver be? (0-3):
0 normal output

2 + sensors type probing info\n"
3 + retryable error reporting
Default: 2 (the driver is still in the testing phase)

Description
-----------
This driver supports the hardware monitoring features of the Abit uGuru chip
found on Abit uGuru featuring motherboards (most modern Abit motherboards).
The uGuru chip in reality is a Winbond W83L950D in disguise (despite Abit
claiming it is "a new microprocessor designed by the ABIT Engineers").
Unfortunatly this doesn't help since the W83L950D is a generic
microcontroller with a custom Abit application running on it.
Despite Abit not releasing any information regarding the uGuru, Olle
Sandberg <ollebull@gmail.com> has managed to reverse engineer the sensor part
of the uGuru. Without his work this driver would not have been possible.
Known Issues
------------
The voltage and frequency control parts of the Abit uGuru are not supported.

uGuru datasheet
===============
First of all, what I know about uGuru is no fact based on any help, hints or
datasheet from Abit. The data I have got on uGuru have I assembled through
my weak knowledge in "backwards engineering".
And just for the record, you may have noticed uGuru isn't a chip developed by
Abit, as they claim it to be. It's realy just an microprocessor (uC) created by
Winbond (W83L950D). And no, reading the manual for this specific uC or
mailing Windbond for help won't give any usefull data about uGuru, as it is
the program inside the uC that is responding to calls.
Olle Sandberg <ollebull@gmail.com>, 2005-05-25
Original version by Olle Sandberg who did the heavy lifting of the initial
reverse engineering. This version has been almost fully rewritten for clarity
and extended with write support and info on more databanks, the write support
is once again reverse engineered by Olle the additional databanks have been
reverse engineered by me. I would like to express my thanks to Olle, this
document and the Linux driver could not have been written without his efforts.
Note: because of the lack of specs only the sensors part of the uGuru is
described here and not the CPU / RAM / etc voltage & frequency control.
Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>, 28-01-2006
Detection
=========
As far as known the uGuru is always placed at and using the (ISA) I/O-ports
0xE0 and 0xE4, so we don't have to scan any port-range, just check what the two
ports are holding for detection. We will refer to 0xE0 as CMD (command-port)
and 0xE4 as DATA because Abit refers to them with these names.
If DATA holds 0x00 or 0x08 and CMD holds 0x00 or 0xAC an uGuru could be
present. We have to check for two different values at data-port, because
after a reboot uGuru will hold 0x00 here, but if the driver is removed and
later on attached again data-port will hold 0x08, more about this later.
After wider testing of the Linux kernel driver some variants of the uGuru have
turned up which will hold 0x00 instead of 0xAC at the CMD port, thus we also
have to test CMD for two different values. On these uGuru's DATA will initally
hold 0x09 and will only hold 0x08 after reading CMD first, so CMD must be read
first!
To be really sure an uGuru is present a test read of one or more register
sets should be done.
Reading / Writing
=================
Addressing
----------
The uGuru has a number of different addressing levels. The first addressing
level we will call banks. A bank holds data for one or more sensors. The data
in a bank for a sensor is one or more bytes large.
The number of bytes is fixed for a given bank, you should always read or write
that many bytes, reading / writing more will fail, the results when writing
less then the number of bytes for a given bank are undetermined.
See below for all known bank addresses, numbers of sensors in that bank,
number of bytes data per sensor and contents/meaning of those bytes.
Although both this document and the kernel driver have kept the sensor
terminoligy for the addressing within a bank this is not 100% correct, in
bank 0x24 for example the addressing within the bank selects a PWM output not
a sensor.
Notice that some banks have both a read and a write address this is how the
uGuru determines if a read from or a write to the bank is taking place, thus
when reading you should always use the read address and when writing the
write address. The write address is always one (1) more then the read address.
uGuru ready
-----------
Before you can read from or write to the uGuru you must first put the uGuru
in "ready" mode.
To put the uGuru in ready mode first write 0x00 to DATA and then wait for DATA
to hold 0x09, DATA should read 0x09 within 250 read cycles.
Next CMD _must_ be read and should hold 0xAC, usually CMD will hold 0xAC the
first read but sometimes it takes a while before CMD holds 0xAC and thus it
has to be read a number of times (max 50).
After reading CMD, DATA should hold 0x08 which means that the uGuru is ready
for input. As above DATA will usually hold 0x08 the first read but not always.
This step can be skipped, but it is undetermined what happens if the uGuru has
not yet reported 0x08 at DATA and you proceed with writing a bank address.
Sending bank and sensor addresses to the uGuru
----------------------------------------------
First the uGuru must be in "ready" mode as described above, DATA should hold
0x08 indicating that the uGuru wants input, in this case the bank address.
Next write the bank address to DATA. After the bank address has been written
wait for to DATA to hold 0x08 again indicating that it wants / is ready for
more input (max 250 reads).
Once DATA holds 0x08 again write the sensor address to CMD.
Reading
-------
First send the bank and sensor addresses as described above.
Then for each byte of data you want to read wait for DATA to hold 0x01
which indicates that the uGuru is ready to be read (max 250 reads) and once
DATA holds 0x01 read the byte from CMD.
Once all bytes have been read data will hold 0x09, but there is no reason to
test for this. Notice that the number of bytes is bank address dependent see
above and below.
After completing a successfull read it is advised to put the uGuru back in
ready mode, so that it is ready for the next read / write cycle. This way
if your program / driver is unloaded and later loaded again the detection
algorithm described above will still work.
Writing
-------
First send the bank and sensor addresses as described above.
Then for each byte of data you want to write wait for DATA to hold 0x00
which indicates that the uGuru is ready to be written (max 250 reads) and
once DATA holds 0x00 write the byte to CMD.
Once all bytes have been written wait for DATA to hold 0x01 (max 250 reads)
don't ask why this is the way it is.
Once DATA holds 0x01 read CMD it should hold 0xAC now.
After completing a successfull write it is advised to put the uGuru back in
ready mode, so that it is ready for the next read / write cycle. This way
if your program / driver is unloaded and later loaded again the detection
algorithm described above will still work.
Gotchas
-------
After wider testing of the Linux kernel driver some variants of the uGuru have
turned up which do not hold 0x08 at DATA within 250 reads after writing the
bank address. With these versions this happens quite frequent, using larger
timeouts doesn't help, they just go offline for a second or 2, doing some
internal callibration or whatever. Your code should be prepared to handle
this and in case of no response in this specific case just goto sleep for a
while and then retry.

Volt sensors use a linear scale, a reading 0 corresponds with 0 volt and a
reading of 255 with 3494 mV. The sensors for higher voltages however are
connected through a division circuit. The currently known division circuits
in use result in ranges of: 0-4361mV, 0-6248mV or 0-14510mV. 3.3 volt sources
use the 0-4361mV range, 5 volt the 0-6248mV and 12 volt the 0-14510mV .

Warning for the adventerous
===========================
A word of caution to those who want to experiment and see if they can figure
the voltage / clock programming out, I tried reading and only reading banks
0-0x30 with the reading code used for the sensor banks (0x20-0x28) and this
resulted in a _permanent_ reprogramming of the voltages, luckily I had the
sensors part configured so that it would shutdown my system on any out of spec

Kernel driver lm70
==================
Supported chip:
* National Semiconductor LM70
Datasheet: http://www.national.com/pf/LM/LM70.html
Author:
Kaiwan N Billimoria <kaiwan@designergraphix.com>
Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM70
temperature sensor.
The LM70 temperature sensor chip supports a single temperature sensor.
It communicates with a host processor (or microcontroller) via an
SPI/Microwire Bus interface.
Communication with the LM70 is simple: when the temperature is to be sensed,
the driver accesses the LM70 using SPI communication: 16 SCLK cycles
comprise the MOSI/MISO loop. At the end of the transfer, the 11-bit 2's
complement digital temperature (sent via the SIO line), is available in the
driver for interpretation. This driver makes use of the kernel's in-core
SPI support.

Kernel driver smsc47m192
========================
Supported chips:
* SMSC LPC47M192 and LPC47M997
Prefix: 'smsc47m192'
Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2c - 0x2d
Datasheet: The datasheet for LPC47M192 is publicly available from
http://www.smsc.com/

Special thanks to Jean Delvare for careful checking
of the code and many helpful comments and suggestions.
Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the hardware sensor capabilities
of the SMSC LPC47M192 and LPC47M997 Super-I/O chips.
These chips support 3 temperature channels and 8 voltage inputs
as well as CPU voltage VID input.
They do also have fan monitoring and control capabilities, but the
these features are accessed via ISA bus and are not supported by this
driver. Use the 'smsc47m1' driver for fan monitoring and control.
Voltages and temperatures are measured by an 8-bit ADC, the resolution
of the temperatures is 1 bit per degree C.
Voltages are scaled such that the nominal voltage corresponds to
192 counts, i.e. 3/4 of the full range. Thus the available range for
each voltage channel is 0V ... 255/192*(nominal voltage), the resolution
is 1 bit per (nominal voltage)/192.
Both voltage and temperature values are scaled by 1000, the sys files
show voltages in mV and temperatures in units of 0.001 degC.
The +12V analog voltage input channel (in4_input) is multiplexed with
bit 4 of the encoded CPU voltage. This means that you either get
a +12V voltage measurement or a 5 bit CPU VID, but not both.
The default setting is to use the pin as 12V input, and use only 4 bit VID.
This driver assumes that the information in the configuration register
is correct, i.e. that the BIOS has updated the configuration if
the motherboard has this input wired to VID4.
The temperature and voltage readings are updated once every 1.5 seconds.
Reading them more often repeats the same values.

typically be wired to the diode inside the CPU)
temp[1-3]_min,

temp[1-3]_offset - temperature offset registers
The chip adds the offsets stored in these registers to
the corresponding temperature readings.
Note that temp1 and temp2 offsets share the same register,
they cannot both be different from zero at the same time.
Writing a non-zero number to one of them will reset the other
offset to zero.
All temperatures and offsets are read and written in
units of 0.001 degC.
temp[1-3]_alarm - alarm flags for temperature inputs, '1' in case of alarm,
'0' otherwise.
temp[2-3]_input_fault - diode fault flags for temperature inputs 2 and 3.
A fault is detected if the two pins for the corresponding
sensor are open or shorted, or any of the two is shorted
to ground or Vcc. '1' indicates a diode fault.
cpu0_vid - CPU voltage as received from the CPU
vrm - CPU VID standard used for decoding CPU voltage
The *_min, *_max, *_offset and vrm files can be read and
written, all others are read-only.

mathematical functions not available in the kernel, so the conversion

* init boolean
(default 0)
Use 'init=1' to have the driver do extra software initializations.
The default behavior is to do the minimum initialization possible
and depend on the BIOS to properly setup the chip. If you know you
have a w83791d and you're having problems, try init=1 before trying
reset=1.
* reset boolean
(default 0)
Use 'reset=1' to reset the chip (via index 0x40, bit 7). The default
behavior is no chip reset to preserve BIOS settings.
* force_subclients=bus,caddr,saddr,saddr
This is used to force the i2c addresses for subclients of
a certain chip. Example usage is `force_subclients=0,0x2f,0x4a,0x4b'
to force the subclients of chip 0x2f on bus 0 to i2c addresses
0x4a and 0x4b.
Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the Winbond W83791D chip.
Detection of the chip can sometimes be foiled because it can be in an
internal state that allows no clean access (Bank with ID register is not
currently selected). If you know the address of the chip, use a 'force'
parameter; this will put it into a more well-behaved state first.
The driver implements three temperature sensors, five fan rotation speed
sensors, and ten voltage sensors.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is 1
degC for temp1 and 0.5 degC for temp2 and temp3. An alarm is triggered when
the temperature gets higher than the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays
on until the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value.
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8 for fan 1/2/3
and 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 for fan 4/5) to give the readings more
range or accuracy.
Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts.
An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
or maximum limit.
Alarms are provided as output from a "realtime status register". The
following bits are defined:
bit - alarm on:
0 - Vcore
1 - VINR0
2 - +3.3VIN
3 - 5VDD
4 - temp1
5 - temp2
6 - fan1
7 - fan2
8 - +12VIN
9 - -12VIN

16 - tart1
17 - tart2
18 - tart3
19 - VSB
20 - VBAT
21 - fan4
22 - fan5
23 - reserved
When an alarm goes off, you can be warned by a beeping signal through your
computer speaker. It is possible to enable all beeping globally, or only
the beeping for some alarms.
The driver only reads the chip values each 3 seconds; reading them more
often will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.

static struct ocores_i2c_platform_data myi2c_data = {
.regstep = 2, /* two bytes between registers */
.clock_khz = 50000, /* input clock of 50MHz */

static struct platform_device myi2c = {
.name = "ocores-i2c",
.dev = {
.platform_data = &myi2c_data,

.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(ocores_resources),
.resource = ocores_resources,

MEMORY ATTRIBUTE ALIASING ON IA-64
Bjorn Helgaas
<bjorn.helgaas@hp.com>
May 4, 2006
MEMORY ATTRIBUTES
Itanium supports several attributes for virtual memory references.
The attribute is part of the virtual translation, i.e., it is
contained in the TLB entry. The ones of most interest to the Linux
kernel are:
WB Write-back (cacheable)
UC Uncacheable
WC Write-coalescing
System memory typically uses the WB attribute. The UC attribute is
used for memory-mapped I/O devices. The WC attribute is uncacheable
like UC is, but writes may be delayed and combined to increase
performance for things like frame buffers.
The Itanium architecture requires that we avoid accessing the same
page with both a cacheable mapping and an uncacheable mapping[1].
The design of the chipset determines which attributes are supported
on which regions of the address space. For example, some chipsets
support either WB or UC access to main memory, while others support
only WB access.
MEMORY MAP
Platform firmware describes the physical memory map and the
supported attributes for each region. At boot-time, the kernel uses
the EFI GetMemoryMap() interface. ACPI can also describe memory
devices and the attributes they support, but Linux/ia64 currently
doesn't use this information.
The kernel uses the efi_memmap table returned from GetMemoryMap() to
learn the attributes supported by each region of physical address
space. Unfortunately, this table does not completely describe the
address space because some machines omit some or all of the MMIO
regions from the map.
The kernel maintains another table, kern_memmap, which describes the
memory Linux is actually using and the attribute for each region.
This contains only system memory; it does not contain MMIO space.
The kern_memmap table typically contains only a subset of the system
memory described by the efi_memmap. Linux/ia64 can't use all memory
in the system because of constraints imposed by the identity mapping
scheme.
The efi_memmap table is preserved unmodified because the original
boot-time information is required for kexec.
KERNEL IDENTITY MAPPINGS
Linux/ia64 identity mappings are done with large pages, currently
either 16MB or 64MB, referred to as "granules." Cacheable mappings
are speculative[2], so the processor can read any location in the
page at any time, independent of the programmer's intentions. This
means that to avoid attribute aliasing, Linux can create a cacheable
identity mapping only when the entire granule supports cacheable
access.
Therefore, kern_memmap contains only full granule-sized regions that
can referenced safely by an identity mapping.
Uncacheable mappings are not speculative, so the processor will
generate UC accesses only to locations explicitly referenced by
software. This allows UC identity mappings to cover granules that
are only partially populated, or populated with a combination of UC
and WB regions.
USER MAPPINGS
User mappings are typically done with 16K or 64K pages. The smaller
page size allows more flexibility because only 16K or 64K has to be
homogeneous with respect to memory attributes.
POTENTIAL ATTRIBUTE ALIASING CASES
There are several ways the kernel creates new mappings:
mmap of /dev/mem
This uses remap_pfn_range(), which creates user mappings. These
mappings may be either WB or UC. If the region being mapped
happens to be in kern_memmap, meaning that it may also be mapped
by a kernel identity mapping, the user mapping must use the same
attribute as the kernel mapping.
If the region is not in kern_memmap, the user mapping should use
an attribute reported as being supported in the EFI memory map.
Since the EFI memory map does not describe MMIO on some
machines, this should use an uncacheable mapping as a fallback.
mmap of /sys/class/pci_bus/.../legacy_mem
This is very similar to mmap of /dev/mem, except that legacy_mem
only allows mmap of the one megabyte "legacy MMIO" area for a
specific PCI bus. Typically this is the first megabyte of
physical address space, but it may be different on machines with
several VGA devices.
"X" uses this to access VGA frame buffers. Using legacy_mem
rather than /dev/mem allows multiple instances of X to talk to
different VGA cards.
The /dev/mem mmap constraints apply.
However, since this is for mapping legacy MMIO space, WB access
does not make sense. This matters on machines without legacy
VGA support: these machines may have WB memory for the entire
first megabyte (or even the entire first granule).
On these machines, we could mmap legacy_mem as WB, which would
be safe in terms of attribute aliasing, but X has no way of
knowing that it is accessing regular memory, not a frame buffer,
so the kernel should fail the mmap rather than doing it with WB.
read/write of /dev/mem
This uses copy_from_user(), which implicitly uses a kernel
identity mapping. This is obviously safe for things in
kern_memmap.
There may be corner cases of things that are not in kern_memmap,
but could be accessed this way. For example, registers in MMIO
space are not in kern_memmap, but could be accessed with a UC
mapping. This would not cause attribute aliasing. But
registers typically can be accessed only with four-byte or
eight-byte accesses, and the copy_from_user() path doesn't allow
any control over the access size, so this would be dangerous.
ioremap()
This returns a kernel identity mapping for use inside the
kernel.
If the region is in kern_memmap, we should use the attribute
specified there. Otherwise, if the EFI memory map reports that
the entire granule supports WB, we should use that (granules
that are partially reserved or occupied by firmware do not appear
in kern_memmap). Otherwise, we should use a UC mapping.
PAST PROBLEM CASES
mmap of various MMIO regions from /dev/mem by "X" on Intel platforms
The EFI memory map may not report these MMIO regions.
These must be allowed so that X will work. This means that
when the EFI memory map is incomplete, every /dev/mem mmap must
succeed. It may create either WB or UC user mappings, depending
on whether the region is in kern_memmap or the EFI memory map.
mmap of 0x0-0xA0000 /dev/mem by "hwinfo" on HP sx1000 with VGA enabled
See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=140858.
The EFI memory map reports the following attributes:
0x00000-0x9FFFF WB only
0xA0000-0xBFFFF UC only (VGA frame buffer)
0xC0000-0xFFFFF WB only
This mmap is done with user pages, not kernel identity mappings,
so it is safe to use WB mappings.
The kernel VGA driver may ioremap the VGA frame buffer at 0xA0000,
which will use a granule-sized UC mapping covering 0-0xFFFFF. This
granule covers some WB-only memory, but since UC is non-speculative,
the processor will never generate an uncacheable reference to the
WB-only areas unless the driver explicitly touches them.
mmap of 0x0-0xFFFFF legacy_mem by "X"
If the EFI memory map reports this entire range as WB, there
is no VGA MMIO hole, and the mmap should fail or be done with
a WB mapping.
There's no easy way for X to determine whether the 0xA0000-0xBFFFF
region is a frame buffer or just memory, so I think it's best to
just fail this mmap request rather than using a WB mapping. As
far as I know, there's no need to map legacy_mem with WB
mappings.
Otherwise, a UC mapping of the entire region is probably safe.
The VGA hole means the region will not be in kern_memmap. The
HP sx1000 chipset doesn't support UC access to the memory surrounding
the VGA hole, but X doesn't need that area anyway and should not
reference it.
mmap of 0xA0000-0xBFFFF legacy_mem by "X" on HP sx1000 with VGA disabled
The EFI memory map reports the following attributes:
0x00000-0xFFFFF WB only (no VGA MMIO hole)
This is a special case of the previous case, and the mmap should
fail for the same reason as above.

Documentation for kdump - the kexec-based crash dumping solution
================================================================
Documentation for Kdump - The kexec-based Crash Dumping Solution
================================================================
DESIGN
======
This document includes overview, setup and installation, and analysis
information.
Kdump uses kexec to reboot to a second kernel whenever a dump needs to be
taken. This second kernel is booted with very little memory. The first kernel
reserves the section of memory that the second kernel uses. This ensures that
on-going DMA from the first kernel does not corrupt the second kernel.
Overview
========
All the necessary information about Core image is encoded in ELF format and
stored in reserved area of memory before crash. Physical address of start of
ELF header is passed to new kernel through command line parameter elfcorehdr=.
Kdump uses kexec to quickly boot to a dump-capture kernel whenever a
dump of the system kernel's memory needs to be taken (for example, when
the system panics). The system kernel's memory image is preserved across
the reboot and is accessible to the dump-capture kernel.
On i386, the first 640 KB of physical memory is needed to boot, irrespective
of where the kernel loads. Hence, this region is backed up by kexec just before
rebooting into the new kernel.
You can use common Linux commands, such as cp and scp, to copy the
memory image to a dump file on the local disk, or across the network to
a remote system.
In the second kernel, "old memory" can be accessed in two ways.
Kdump and kexec are currently supported on the x86, x86_64, and ppc64
architectures.
- The first one is through a /dev/oldmem device interface. A capture utility
can read the device file and write out the memory in raw format. This is raw
dump of memory and analysis/capture tool should be intelligent enough to
determine where to look for the right information. ELF headers (elfcorehdr=)
can become handy here.
When the system kernel boots, it reserves a small section of memory for
the dump-capture kernel. This ensures that ongoing Direct Memory Access
(DMA) from the system kernel does not corrupt the dump-capture kernel.
The kexec -p command loads the dump-capture kernel into this reserved
memory.
- The second interface is through /proc/vmcore. This exports the dump as an ELF
format file which can be written out using any file copy command
(cp, scp, etc). Further, gdb can be used to perform limited debugging on
the dump file. This method ensures methods ensure that there is correct
ordering of the dump pages (corresponding to the first 640 KB that has been
relocated).
On x86 machines, the first 640 KB of physical memory is needed to boot,
regardless of where the kernel loads. Therefore, kexec backs up this
region just before rebooting into the dump-capture kernel.
SETUP
=====
All of the necessary information about the system kernel's core image is
encoded in the ELF format, and stored in a reserved area of memory
before a crash. The physical address of the start of the ELF header is
passed to the dump-capture kernel through the elfcorehdr= boot
parameter.
1) Download the upstream kexec-tools userspace package from
http://www.xmission.com/~ebiederm/files/kexec/kexec-tools-1.101.tar.gz.
With the dump-capture kernel, you can access the memory image, or "old
memory," in two ways:
Apply the latest consolidated kdump patch on top of kexec-tools-1.101
from http://lse.sourceforge.net/kdump/. This arrangment has been made
till all the userspace patches supporting kdump are integrated with
upstream kexec-tools userspace.
- Through a /dev/oldmem device interface. A capture utility can read the
device file and write out the memory in raw format. This is a raw dump
of memory. Analysis and capture tools must be intelligent enough to
determine where to look for the right information.
2) Download and build the appropriate (2.6.13-rc1 onwards) vanilla kernels.
Two kernels need to be built in order to get this feature working.
Following are the steps to properly configure the two kernels specific
to kexec and kdump features:
A) First kernel or regular kernel:
----------------------------------
a) Enable "kexec system call" feature (in Processor type and features).
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
b) Enable "sysfs file system support" (in Pseudo filesystems).
CONFIG_SYSFS=y
c) make
d) Boot into first kernel with the command line parameter "crashkernel=Y@X".
Use appropriate values for X and Y. Y denotes how much memory to reserve
for the second kernel, and X denotes at what physical address the
reserved memory section starts. For example: "crashkernel=64M@16M".
- Through /proc/vmcore. This exports the dump as an ELF-format file that
you can write out using file copy commands such as cp or scp. Further,
you can use analysis tools such as the GNU Debugger (GDB) and the Crash
tool to debug the dump file. This method ensures that the dump pages are
correctly ordered.
B) Second kernel or dump capture kernel:
---------------------------------------
a) For i386 architecture enable Highmem support
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
b) Enable "kernel crash dumps" feature (under "Processor type and features")
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
c) Make sure a suitable value for "Physical address where the kernel is
loaded" (under "Processor type and features"). By default this value
is 0x1000000 (16MB) and it should be same as X (See option d above),
e.g., 16 MB or 0x1000000.
CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x1000000
d) Enable "/proc/vmcore support" (Optional, under "Pseudo filesystems").
CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE=y
Setup and Installation
======================
3) After booting to regular kernel or first kernel, load the second kernel
using the following command:
Install kexec-tools and the Kdump patch
---------------------------------------
kexec -p <second-kernel> --args-linux --elf32-core-headers
--append="root=<root-dev> init 1 irqpoll maxcpus=1"
1) Login as the root user.
Notes:
======
i) <second-kernel> has to be a vmlinux image ie uncompressed elf image.
bzImage will not work, as of now.
ii) --args-linux has to be speicfied as if kexec it loading an elf image,
it needs to know that the arguments supplied are of linux type.
iii) By default ELF headers are stored in ELF64 format to support systems
with more than 4GB memory. Option --elf32-core-headers forces generation
of ELF32 headers. The reason for this option being, as of now gdb can
not open vmcore file with ELF64 headers on a 32 bit systems. So ELF32
headers can be used if one has non-PAE systems and hence memory less
than 4GB.
iv) Specify "irqpoll" as command line parameter. This reduces driver
initialization failures in second kernel due to shared interrupts.
v) <root-dev> needs to be specified in a format corresponding to the root
device name in the output of mount command.
vi) If you have built the drivers required to mount root file system as
modules in <second-kernel>, then, specify
--initrd=<initrd-for-second-kernel>.
vii) Specify maxcpus=1 as, if during first kernel run, if panic happens on
non-boot cpus, second kernel doesn't seem to be boot up all the cpus.
The other option is to always built the second kernel without SMP
support ie CONFIG_SMP=n
2) Download the kexec-tools user-space package from the following URL:
4) After successfully loading the second kernel as above, if a panic occurs
system reboots into the second kernel. A module can be written to force
the panic or "ALT-SysRq-c" can be used initiate a crash dump for testing
purposes.
http://www.xmission.com/~ebiederm/files/kexec/kexec-tools-1.101.tar.gz
5) Once the second kernel has booted, write out the dump file using
3) Unpack the tarball with the tar command, as follows:
tar xvpzf kexec-tools-1.101.tar.gz
4) Download the latest consolidated Kdump patch from the following URL:
http://lse.sourceforge.net/kdump/
(This location is being used until all the user-space Kdump patches
are integrated with the kexec-tools package.)
5) Change to the kexec-tools-1.101 directory, as follows:
cd kexec-tools-1.101
6) Apply the consolidated patch to the kexec-tools-1.101 source tree
with the patch command, as follows. (Modify the path to the downloaded
patch as necessary.)
patch -p1 < /path-to-kdump-patch/kexec-tools-1.101-kdump.patch
7) Configure the package, as follows:
./configure
8) Compile the package, as follows:
make
9) Install the package, as follows:
make install
Download and build the system and dump-capture kernels
------------------------------------------------------
Download the mainline (vanilla) kernel source code (2.6.13-rc1 or newer)
from http://www.kernel.org. Two kernels must be built: a system kernel
and a dump-capture kernel. Use the following steps to configure these
kernels with the necessary kexec and Kdump features:
System kernel
-------------
1) Enable "kexec system call" in "Processor type and features."
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
2) Enable "sysfs file system support" in "Filesystem" -> "Pseudo
filesystems." This is usually enabled by default.
CONFIG_SYSFS=y
Note that "sysfs file system support" might not appear in the "Pseudo
filesystems" menu if "Configure standard kernel features (for small
systems)" is not enabled in "General Setup." In this case, check the
.config file itself to ensure that sysfs is turned on, as follows:
grep 'CONFIG_SYSFS' .config
3) Enable "Compile the kernel with debug info" in "Kernel hacking."
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=Y
This causes the kernel to be built with debug symbols. The dump
analysis tools require a vmlinux with debug symbols in order to read
and analyze a dump file.
4) Make and install the kernel and its modules. Update the boot loader
(such as grub, yaboot, or lilo) configuration files as necessary.
5) Boot the system kernel with the boot parameter "crashkernel=Y@X",
where Y specifies how much memory to reserve for the dump-capture kernel
and X specifies the beginning of this reserved memory. For example,
"crashkernel=64M@16M" tells the system kernel to reserve 64 MB of memory
starting at physical address 0x01000000 for the dump-capture kernel.
On x86 and x86_64, use "crashkernel=64M@16M".
On ppc64, use "crashkernel=128M@32M".
The dump-capture kernel
-----------------------
1) Under "General setup," append "-kdump" to the current string in
"Local version."
2) On x86, enable high memory support under "Processor type and
features":
CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y
or
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G
3) On x86 and x86_64, disable symmetric multi-processing support
under "Processor type and features":
CONFIG_SMP=n
(If CONFIG_SMP=y, then specify maxcpus=1 on the kernel command line
when loading the dump-capture kernel, see section "Load the Dump-capture
Kernel".)
4) On ppc64, disable NUMA support and enable EMBEDDED support:
CONFIG_NUMA=n
CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y
CONFIG_EEH=N for the dump-capture kernel
5) Enable "kernel crash dumps" support under "Processor type and
features":
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
6) Use a suitable value for "Physical address where the kernel is
loaded" (under "Processor type and features"). This only appears when
"kernel crash dumps" is enabled. By default this value is 0x1000000
(16MB). It should be the same as X in the "crashkernel=Y@X" boot
parameter discussed above.
On x86 and x86_64, use "CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x1000000".
On ppc64 the value is automatically set at 32MB when
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is set.
6) Optionally enable "/proc/vmcore support" under "Filesystems" ->
"Pseudo filesystems".
CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE=y
(CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE is set by default when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is selected.)
7) Make and install the kernel and its modules. DO NOT add this kernel
to the boot loader configuration files.
Load the Dump-capture Kernel
============================
After booting to the system kernel, load the dump-capture kernel using
the following command:
kexec -p <dump-capture-kernel> \
--initrd=<initrd-for-dump-capture-kernel> --args-linux \
--append="root=<root-dev> init 1 irqpoll"
Notes on loading the dump-capture kernel:
* <dump-capture-kernel> must be a vmlinux image (that is, an
uncompressed ELF image). bzImage does not work at this time.
* By default, the ELF headers are stored in ELF64 format to support
systems with more than 4GB memory. The --elf32-core-headers option can
be used to force the generation of ELF32 headers. This is necessary
because GDB currently cannot open vmcore files with ELF64 headers on
32-bit systems. ELF32 headers can be used on non-PAE systems (that is,
less than 4GB of memory).
* The "irqpoll" boot parameter reduces driver initialization failures
due to shared interrupts in the dump-capture kernel.
* You must specify <root-dev> in the format corresponding to the root
device name in the output of mount command.
* "init 1" boots the dump-capture kernel into single-user mode without
networking. If you want networking, use "init 3."
Kernel Panic
============
After successfully loading the dump-capture kernel as previously
described, the system will reboot into the dump-capture kernel if a
system crash is triggered. Trigger points are located in panic(),
die(), die_nmi() and in the sysrq handler (ALT-SysRq-c).
The following conditions will execute a crash trigger point:
If a hard lockup is detected and "NMI watchdog" is configured, the system
will boot into the dump-capture kernel ( die_nmi() ).
If die() is called, and it happens to be a thread with pid 0 or 1, or die()
is called inside interrupt context or die() is called and panic_on_oops is set,
the system will boot into the dump-capture kernel.
On powererpc systems when a soft-reset is generated, die() is called by all cpus and the system system will boot into the dump-capture kernel.
For testing purposes, you can trigger a crash by using "ALT-SysRq-c",
"echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger or write a module to force the panic.
Write Out the Dump File
=======================
After the dump-capture kernel is booted, write out the dump file with
the following command:
cp /proc/vmcore <dump-file>
Dump memory can also be accessed as a /dev/oldmem device for a linear/raw
view. To create the device, type:
You can also access dumped memory as a /dev/oldmem device for a linear
and raw view. To create the device, use the following command:
mknod /dev/oldmem c 1 12
mknod /dev/oldmem c 1 12
Use "dd" with suitable options for count, bs and skip to access specific
portions of the dump.
Use the dd command with suitable options for count, bs, and skip to
access specific portions of the dump.
Entire memory: dd if=/dev/oldmem of=oldmem.001
To see the entire memory, use the following command:
dd if=/dev/oldmem of=oldmem.001
ANALYSIS
Analysis
========
Limited analysis can be done using gdb on the dump file copied out of
/proc/vmcore. Use vmlinux built with -g and run
gdb vmlinux <dump-file>
Before analyzing the dump image, you should reboot into a stable kernel.
Stack trace for the task on processor 0, register display, memory display
work fine.
You can do limited analysis using GDB on the dump file copied out of
/proc/vmcore. Use the debug vmlinux built with -g and run the following
command:
Note: gdb cannot analyse core files generated in ELF64 format for i386.
gdb vmlinux <dump-file>
Latest "crash" (crash-4.0-2.18) as available on Dave Anderson's site
http://people.redhat.com/~anderson/ works well with kdump format.
Stack trace for the task on processor 0, register display, and memory

Note: GDB cannot analyze core files generated in ELF64 format for x86.
On systems with a maximum of 4GB of memory, you can generate
ELF32-format headers using the --elf32-core-headers kernel option on the
dump kernel.
You can also use the Crash utility to analyze dump files in Kdump
format. Crash is available on Dave Anderson's site at the following URL:

TODO
====
1) Provide a kernel pages filtering mechanism so that core file size is not
insane on systems having huge memory banks.
2) Relocatable kernel can help in maintaining multiple kernels for crashdump
and same kernel as the first kernel can be used to capture the dump.
To Do
=====
1) Provide a kernel pages filtering mechanism, so core file size is not
extreme on systems with huge memory banks.
2) Relocatable kernel can help in maintaining multiple kernels for
crash_dump, and the same kernel as the system kernel can be used to
capture the dump.

SELINUX SUPPORT
===============
The security class "key" has been added to SELinux so that mandatory access
controls can be applied to keys created within various contexts. This support
is preliminary, and is likely to change quite significantly in the near future.
Currently, all of the basic permissions explained above are provided in SELinux
as well; SE Linux is simply invoked after all basic permission checks have been
performed.
Each key is labeled with the same context as the task to which it belongs.
Typically, this is the same task that was running when the key was created.
The default keyrings are handled differently, but in a way that is very
intuitive:
(*) The user and user session keyrings that are created when the user logs in
are currently labeled with the context of the login manager.
(*) The keyrings associated with new threads are each labeled with the context
of their associated thread, and both session and process keyrings are
handled similarly.
Note, however, that the default keyrings associated with the root user are
labeled with the default kernel context, since they are created early in the
boot process, before root has a chance to log in.

load of B came up with B == 2. No such guarantee exists for the first load of
A; that may come up with either A == 0 or A == 1.
READ MEMORY BARRIERS VS LOAD SPECULATION
----------------------------------------
Many CPUs speculate with loads: that is they see that they will need to load an
item from memory, and they find a time where they're not using the bus for any
other loads, and so do the load in advance - even though they haven't actually
got to that point in the instruction execution flow yet. This permits the
actual load instruction to potentially complete immediately because the CPU
already has the value to hand.
It may turn out that the CPU didn't actually need the value - perhaps because a
branch circumvented the load - in which case it can discard the value or just
cache it for later use.
Consider:

3.4 Configuring Bonding Manually via Sysfs
------------------------------------------
5. Querying Bonding Configuration
Starting with version 3.0, Channel Bonding may be configured
via the sysfs interface. This interface allows dynamic configuration
of all bonds in the system without unloading the module. It also
allows for adding and removing bonds at runtime. Ifenslave is no
longer required, though it is still supported.
Use of the sysfs interface allows you to use multiple bonds
with different configurations without having to reload the module.
It also allows you to use multiple, differently configured bonds when
bonding is compiled into the kernel.
You must have the sysfs filesystem mounted to configure
bonding this way. The examples in this document assume that you
are using the standard mount point for sysfs, e.g. /sys. If your
sysfs filesystem is mounted elsewhere, you will need to adjust the
example paths accordingly.
Creating and Destroying Bonds
-----------------------------
To add a new bond foo:
# echo +foo > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
To remove an existing bond bar:
# echo -bar > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
To show all existing bonds:
# cat /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
NOTE: due to 4K size limitation of sysfs files, this list may be
truncated if you have more than a few hundred bonds. This is unlikely
to occur under normal operating conditions.
Adding and Removing Slaves
--------------------------
Interfaces may be enslaved to a bond using the file
/sys/class/net/<bond>/bonding/slaves. The semantics for this file
are the same as for the bonding_masters file.
To enslave interface eth0 to bond bond0:
# ifconfig bond0 up
# echo +eth0 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
To free slave eth0 from bond bond0:
# echo -eth0 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
NOTE: The bond must be up before slaves can be added. All
slaves are freed when the interface is brought down.
When an interface is enslaved to a bond, symlinks between the
two are created in the sysfs filesystem. In this case, you would get
/sys/class/net/bond0/slave_eth0 pointing to /sys/class/net/eth0, and
/sys/class/net/eth0/master pointing to /sys/class/net/bond0.
This means that you can tell quickly whether or not an
interface is enslaved by looking for the master symlink. Thus:
# echo -eth0 > /sys/class/net/eth0/master/bonding/slaves
will free eth0 from whatever bond it is enslaved to, regardless of
the name of the bond interface.
Changing a Bond's Configuration
-------------------------------
Each bond may be configured individually by manipulating the
files located in /sys/class/net/<bond name>/bonding
The names of these files correspond directly with the command-
line parameters described elsewhere in in this file, and, with the
exception of arp_ip_target, they accept the same values. To see the
current setting, simply cat the appropriate file.
A few examples will be given here; for specific usage
guidelines for each parameter, see the appropriate section in this
document.
To configure bond0 for balance-alb mode:
# ifconfig bond0 down
# echo 6 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode
- or -
# echo balance-alb > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode
NOTE: The bond interface must be down before the mode can be
changed.
To enable MII monitoring on bond0 with a 1 second interval:
# echo 1000 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/miimon
NOTE: If ARP monitoring is enabled, it will disabled when MII
monitoring is enabled, and vice-versa.
To add ARP targets:
# echo +192.168.0.100 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/arp_ip_target
# echo +192.168.0.101 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/arp_ip_target
NOTE: up to 10 target addresses may be specified.
To remove an ARP target:
# echo -192.168.0.100 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/arp_ip_target
Example Configuration
---------------------
We begin with the same example that is shown in section 3.3,
executed with sysfs, and without using ifenslave.
To make a simple bond of two e100 devices (presumed to be eth0
and eth1), and have it persist across reboots, edit the appropriate
file (/etc/init.d/boot.local or /etc/rc.d/rc.local), and add the
following:
modprobe bonding
modprobe e100
echo balance-alb > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode
ifconfig bond0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
echo 100 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/miimon
echo +eth0 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
echo +eth1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
To add a second bond, with two e1000 interfaces in
active-backup mode, using ARP monitoring, add the following lines to
your init script:
modprobe e1000
echo +bond1 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
echo active-backup > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/mode
ifconfig bond1 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
echo +192.168.2.100 /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/arp_ip_target
echo 2000 > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/arp_interval

The device driver needs to call pci_request_region() to make sure
no other device is already using the same resource. The driver is expected
to determine MMIO and IO Port resource availability _before_ calling
pci_enable_device(). Conversely, drivers should call pci_release_region()
_after_ calling pci_disable_device(). The idea is to prevent two devices
colliding on the same address range.
Generic flavors of pci_request_region() are request_mem_region()
(for MMIO ranges) and request_region() (for IO Port ranges).
Use these for address resources that are not described by "normal" PCI

pm_message_t has two fields. event ("major"), and flags. If driver

drivers may need to deal with special cases based on the actual type
of suspend operation being done at the system level. This is why
there are flags.
Event codes are:

FREEZE -- stop DMA and interrupts, and be prepared to reinit HW from

actual policy of what to do with them beeing specific to a given
driver. It's acceptable for a network driver to just drop packets
while a block driver is expected to block the queue so no request is
lost. (Use IDE as an example on how to do that). FREEZE requires no
power state change, and it's expected for drivers to be able to
quickly transition back to operating state.
SUSPEND -- like FREEZE, but also put hardware into low-power state. If
there's need to distinguish several levels of sleep, additional flag

Transitions are only from a resumed state to a suspended state, never
between 2 suspended states. (ON -> FREEZE or ON -> SUSPEND can happen,
FREEZE -> SUSPEND or SUSPEND -> FREEZE can not).
All events are:
[NOTE NOTE NOTE: If you are driver author, you should not care; you
should only look at event, and ignore flags.]
#Prepare for suspend -- userland is still running but we are going to
#enter suspend state. This gives drivers chance to load firmware from
#disk and store it in memory, or do other activities taht require
#operating userland, ability to kmalloc GFP_KERNEL, etc... All of these
#are forbiden once the suspend dance is started.. event = ON, flags =
#PREPARE_TO_SUSPEND
Apm standby -- prepare for APM event. Quiesce devices to make life
easier for APM BIOS. event = FREEZE, flags = APM_STANDBY
Apm suspend -- same as APM_STANDBY, but it we should probably avoid
spinning down disks. event = FREEZE, flags = APM_SUSPEND
System halt, reboot -- quiesce devices to make life easier for BIOS. event
= FREEZE, flags = SYSTEM_HALT or SYSTEM_REBOOT
System shutdown -- at least disks need to be spun down, or data may be
lost. Quiesce devices, just to make life easier for BIOS. event =
FREEZE, flags = SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN
Kexec -- turn off DMAs and put hardware into some state where new
kernel can take over. event = FREEZE, flags = KEXEC
Powerdown at end of swsusp -- very similar to SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN, except wake
may need to be enabled on some devices. This actually has at least 3
subtypes, system can reboot, enter S4 and enter S5 at the end of
swsusp. event = FREEZE, flags = SWSUSP and one of SYSTEM_REBOOT,
SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN, SYSTEM_S4
Suspend to ram -- put devices into low power state. event = SUSPEND,
flags = SUSPEND_TO_RAM
Freeze for swsusp snapshot -- stop DMA and interrupts. No need to put
devices into low power mode, but you must be able to reinitialize
device from scratch in resume method. This has two flavors, its done
once on suspending kernel, once on resuming kernel. event = FREEZE,
flags = DURING_SUSPEND or DURING_RESUME
Device detach requested from /sys -- deinitialize device; proably same as
SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN, I do not understand this one too much. probably event
= FREEZE, flags = DEV_DETACH.
#These are not really events sent:
#
#System fully on -- device is working normally; this is probably never
#passed to suspend() method... event = ON, flags = 0
#
#Ready after resume -- userland is now running, again. Time to free any
#memory you ate during prepare to suspend... event = ON, flags =
#READY_AFTER_RESUME
#
pm_message_t meaning
pm_message_t has two fields. event ("major"), and flags. If driver

A: If you want to see any non-error kernel messages on the virtual

kernel console loglevel to at least 4 (KERN_WARNING), for example by
doing

Q: Is this true that if I have a mounted filesystem on a USB device and
I suspend to disk, I can lose data unless the filesystem has been mounted
with "sync"?
A: That's right. It depends on your hardware, and it could be true even for
suspend-to-RAM. In fact, even with "-o sync" you can lose data if your
programs have information in buffers they haven't written out to disk.
A: That's right ... if you disconnect that device, you may lose data.
In fact, even with "-o sync" you can lose data if your programs have
information in buffers they haven't written out to a disk you disconnect,
or if you disconnect before the device finished saving data you wrote.
If you're lucky, your hardware will support low-power modes for USB
controllers while the system is asleep. Lots of hardware doesn't,
however. Shutting off the power to a USB controller is equivalent to
unplugging all the attached devices.
Software suspend normally powers down USB controllers, which is equivalent
to disconnecting all USB devices attached to your system.
Your system might well support low-power modes for its USB controllers
while the system is asleep, maintaining the connection, using true sleep
modes like "suspend-to-RAM" or "standby". (Don't write "disk" to the
/sys/power/state file; write "standby" or "mem".) We've not seen any
hardware that can use these modes through software suspend, although in
theory some systems might support "platform" or "firmware" modes that
won't break the USB connections.
Remember that it's always a bad idea to unplug a disk drive containing a
mounted filesystem. With USB that's true even when your system is asleep!
The safest thing is to unmount all USB-based filesystems before suspending
and remount them after resuming.
mounted filesystem. That's true even when your system is asleep! The
safest thing is to unmount all filesystems on removable media (such USB,
Firewire, CompactFlash, MMC, external SATA, or even IDE hotplug bays)
before suspending; then remount them after resuming.
Q: I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.15 to 2.6.16. Both kernels were
compiled with the similar configuration files. Anyway I found that
suspend to disk (and resume) is much slower on 2.6.16 compared to
2.6.15. Any idea for why that might happen or how can I speed it up?
A: This is because the size of the suspend image is now greater than
for 2.6.15 (by saving more data we can get more responsive system
after resume).
There's the /sys/power/image_size knob that controls the size of the
image. If you set it to 0 (eg. by echo 0 > /sys/power/image_size as
root), the 2.6.15 behavior should be restored. If it is still too
slow, take a look at suspend.sf.net -- userland suspend is faster and
supports LZF compression to speed it up further.

Notes for CPQFCTS driver for Compaq Tachyon TS
Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter, PCI 64-bit, 66MHz
for Linux (RH 6.1, 6.2 kernel 2.2.12-32, 2.2.14-5)
SMP tested
Tested in single and dual HBA configuration, 32 and 64bit busses,
33 and 66MHz. Only supports FC-AL.
SEST size 512 Exchanges (simultaneous I/Os) limited by module kmalloc()
max of 128k bytes contiguous.
Ver 2.5.4 Oct 03, 2002
* fixed memcpy of sense buffer in ioctl to copy the smaller defined size
Ver 2.5.3 Aug 01, 2002
* fix the passthru ioctl to handle the Scsi_Cmnd->request being a pointer
Ver 2.5.1 Jul 30, 2002
* fix ioctl to pay attention to the specified LUN.
Ver 2.5.0 Nov 29, 2001
* eliminated io_request_lock. This change makes the driver specific
to the 2.5.x kernels.
* silenced excessively noisy printks.
Ver 2.1.2 July 23, 2002
* initialize DumCmnd->lun in cpqfcTS_ioctl (used in fcFindLoggedInPorts as LUN index)
Ver 2.1.1 Oct 18, 2001
* reinitialize Cmnd->SCp.sent_command (used to identify commands as
passthrus) on calling scsi_done, since the scsi mid layer does not
use (or reinitialize) this field to prevent subsequent comands from
having it set incorrectly.
Ver 2.1.0 Aug 27, 2001
* Revise driver to use new kernel 2.4.x PCI DMA API, instead of
virt_to_bus(). (enables driver to work w/ ia64 systems with >2Gb RAM.)
Rework main scatter-gather code to handle cases where SG element
lengths are larger than 0x7FFFF bytes and use as many scatter
gather pages as necessary. (Steve Cameron)
* Makefile changes to bring cpqfc into line w/ rest of SCSI drivers
(thanks to Keith Owens)
Ver 2.0.5 Aug 06, 2001
* Reject non-existent luns in the driver rather than letting the
hardware do it. (some HW behaves differently than others in this area.)
* Changed Makefile to rely on "make dep" instead of explicit dependencies
* ifdef'ed out fibre channel analyzer triggering debug code
* fixed a jiffies wrapping issue
Ver 2.0.4 Aug 01, 2001
* Incorporated fix for target device reset from Steeleye
* Fixed passthrough ioctl so it doesn't hang.
* Fixed hang in launch_FCworker_thread() that occurred on some machines.
* Avoid problem when number of volumes in a single cabinet > 8
Ver 2.0.2 July 23, 2001
Changed the semiphore changes so the driver would compile in 2.4.7.
This version is for 2.4.7 and beyond.
Ver 2.0.1 May 7, 2001
Merged version 1.3.6 fixes into version 2.0.0.
Ver 2.0.0 May 7, 2001
Fixed problem so spinlock is being initialized to UNLOCKED.
Fixed updated driver so it compiles in the 2.4 tree.
Ver 1.3.6 Feb 27, 2001
Added Target_Device_Reset function for SCSI error handling
Fixed problem with not reseting addressing mode after implicit logout
Ver 1.3.4 Sep 7, 2000
Added Modinfo information
Fixed problem with statically linking the driver
Ver 1.3.3, Aug 23, 2000
Fixed device/function number in ioctl
Ver 1.3.2, July 27, 2000
Add include for Alpha compile on 2.2.14 kernel (cpq*i2c.c)
Change logic for different FCP-RSP sense_buffer location for HSG80 target
And search for Agilent Tachyon XL2 HBAs (not finished! - in test)

*************************
If a GBIC of type Short-wave, Long-wave, or Copper is detected, it will
print out; otherwise, "none" is displayed. If the cabling is correct
and a loop circuit is completed, you should see "Monitor"; otherwise,
"LoopFail" (on open circuit) or some LPSM number/state with bit 3 set.
ERRATA:
1. Normally, Linux Scsi queries FC devices with INQUIRY strings. All LUNs
found according to INQUIRY should get READ commands at sector 0 to find
partition table, etc. Older kernels only query the first 4 devices. Some
Linux kernels only look for one LUN per target (i.e. FC device).
2. Physically removing a device, or a malfunctioning system which hides a
device, leads to a 30-second timeout and subsequent _abort call.
In some process contexts, this will hang the kernel (crashing the system).
Single bit errors in frames and virtually all hot plugging events are
gracefully handled with internal driver timer and Abort processing.
3. Some SCSI drives with error conditions will not handle the 7 second timeout
in this software driver, leading to infinite retries on timed out SCSI commands.
The 7 secs balances the need to quickly recover from lost frames (esp. on sequence
initiatives) and time needed by older/slower/error-state drives in responding.
This can be easily changed in "Exchanges[].timeOut".
4. Due to the nature of FC soft addressing, there is no assurance that the
same LUNs (drives) will have the same path (e.g. /dev/sdb1) from one boot to
next. Dynamic soft address changes (i.e. 24-bit FC port_id) are
supported during run time (e.g. due to hot plug event) by the use of WWN to
SCSI Nexus (channel/target/LUN) mapping.
5. Compaq RA4x00 firmware version 2.54 and later supports SSP (Selective
Storage Presentation), which maps LUNs to a WWN. If RA4x00 firmware prior
2.54 (e.g. older controller) is used, or the FC HBA is replaced (another WWN
is used), logical volumes on the RA4x00 will no longer be visible.

HIGHPOINT ROCKETRAID 3xxx RAID DRIVER (hptiop)
Controller Register Map
-------------------------
The controller IOP is accessed via PCI BAR0.
BAR0 offset Register
0x10 Inbound Message Register 0
0x14 Inbound Message Register 1
0x18 Outbound Message Register 0
0x1C Outbound Message Register 1
0x20 Inbound Doorbell Register
0x24 Inbound Interrupt Status Register
0x28 Inbound Interrupt Mask Register
0x30 Outbound Interrupt Status Register
0x34 Outbound Interrupt Mask Register
0x40 Inbound Queue Port
0x44 Outbound Queue Port
I/O Request Workflow
----------------------
All queued requests are handled via inbound/outbound queue port.
A request packet can be allocated in either IOP or host memory.
To send a request to the controller:
- Get a free request packet by reading the inbound queue port or
allocate a free request in host DMA coherent memory.
The value returned from the inbound queue port is an offset
relative to the IOP BAR0.
Requests allocated in host memory must be aligned on 32-bytes boundary.
- Fill the packet.
- Post the packet to IOP by writing it to inbound queue. For requests
allocated in IOP memory, write the offset to inbound queue port. For
requests allocated in host memory, write (0x80000000|(bus_addr>>5))
to the inbound queue port.
- The IOP process the request. When the request is completed, it
will be put into outbound queue. An outbound interrupt will be
generated.
For requests allocated in IOP memory, the request offset is posted to
outbound queue.
For requests allocated in host memory, (0x80000000|(bus_addr>>5))
is posted to the outbound queue. If IOP_REQUEST_FLAG_OUTPUT_CONTEXT
flag is set in the request, the low 32-bit context value will be
posted instead.
- The host read the outbound queue and complete the request.
For requests allocated in IOP memory, the host driver free the request
by writing it to the outbound queue.
Non-queued requests (reset/flush etc) can be sent via inbound message
register 0. An outbound message with the same value indicates the completion
of an inbound message.
User-level Interface
---------------------
The driver exposes following sysfs attributes:
NAME R/W Description
driver-version R driver version string
firmware-version R firmware version string
The driver registers char device "hptiop" to communicate with HighPoint RAID
management software. Its ioctl routine acts as a general binary interface
between the IOP firmware and HighPoint RAID management software. New management
functions can be implemented in application/firmware without modification
in driver code.

used members of this structure, and their typical usage,
will be detailed below.
Here is how probing is performed by an SBUS driver
under Linux:
Here is a piece of skeleton code for perofming a device
probe in an SBUS driverunder Linux:
static void init_one_mydevice(struct sbus_dev *sdev)
static int __devinit mydevice_probe_one(struct sbus_dev *sdev)
{
struct mysdevice *mp = kzalloc(sizeof(*mp), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!mp)
return -ENODEV;
...
dev_set_drvdata(&sdev->ofdev.dev, mp);
return 0;
...
}
static int mydevice_match(struct sbus_dev *sdev)
static int __devinit mydevice_probe(struct of_device *dev,
const struct of_device_id *match)
{
if (some_criteria(sdev))
return 1;
return 0;
struct sbus_dev *sdev = to_sbus_device(&dev->dev);
return mydevice_probe_one(sdev);
}
static void mydevice_probe(void)
static int __devexit mydevice_remove(struct of_device *dev)
{
struct sbus_bus *sbus;
struct sbus_dev *sdev;
struct sbus_dev *sdev = to_sbus_device(&dev->dev);
struct mydevice *mp = dev_get_drvdata(&dev->dev);
for_each_sbus(sbus) {
for_each_sbusdev(sdev, sbus) {
if (mydevice_match(sdev))
init_one_mydevice(sdev);
}
}
return mydevice_remove_one(sdev, mp);
}
All this does is walk through all SBUS devices in the
system, checks each to see if it is of the type which
your driver is written for, and if so it calls the init
routine to attach the device and prepare to drive it.
static struct of_device_id mydevice_match[] = {
{
.name = "mydevice",
},
{},
};
"init_one_mydevice" might do things like allocate software
state structures, map in I/O registers, place the hardware
into an initialized state, etc.
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, mydevice_match);
static struct of_platform_driver mydevice_driver = {
.name = "mydevice",
.match_table = mydevice_match,
.probe = mydevice_probe,
.remove = __devexit_p(mydevice_remove),
};
static int __init mydevice_init(void)
{
return of_register_driver(&mydevice_driver, &sbus_bus_type);
}
static void __exit mydevice_exit(void)
{
of_unregister_driver(&mydevice_driver);
}
module_init(mydevice_init);
module_exit(mydevice_exit);
The mydevice_match table is a series of entries which
describes what SBUS devices your driver is meant for. In the
simplest case you specify a string for the 'name' field. Every
SBUS device with a 'name' property matching your string will
be passed one-by-one to your .probe method.
You should store away your device private state structure
pointer in the drvdata area so that you can retrieve it later on
in your .remove method.
Any memory allocated, registers mapped, IRQs registered,
etc. must be undone by your .remove method so that all resources
of your device are relased by the time it returns.
You should _NOT_ use the for_each_sbus(), for_each_sbusdev(),
and for_all_sbusdev() interfaces. They are deprecated, will be
removed, and no new driver should reference them ever.

Device address and Endpoint number are 3-digit and 2-digit (respectively)
decimal numbers, with leading zeroes.
- URB Status. In most cases, this field contains a number, sometimes negative,

submissions, but is present anyway to help scripts with parsing. When an
error occurs, the field contains the error code. In case of a submission of
a Control packet, this field contains a Setup Tag instead of an error code.
It is easy to tell whether the Setup Tag is present because it is never a
number. Thus if scripts find a number in this field, they proceed to read
Data Length. If they find something else, like a letter, they read the setup
packet before reading the Data Length.
- Setup packet, if present, consists of 5 words: one of each for bmRequestType,
bRequest, wValue, wIndex, wLength, as specified by the USB Specification 2.0.
These words are safe to decode if Setup Tag was 's'. Otherwise, the setup
packet was present, but not captured, and the fields contain filler.
- Data Length. This is the actual length in the URB.
- Data Length. For submissions, this is the requested length. For callbacks,
this is the actual length.
- Data tag. The usbmon may not always capture data, even if length is nonzero.
Only if tag is '=', the data words are present.
The data words are present only if this tag is '='.
- Data words follow, in big endian hexadecimal format. Notice that they are
not machine words, but really just a byte stream split into words to make
it easier to read. Thus, the last word may contain from one to four bytes.

This page describes how to make calls to the firmware api.
How to call
===========
The preferred calling convention is known as the firmware mailbox. The
mailboxes are basically a fixed length array that serves as the call-stack.
Firmware mailboxes can be located by searching the encoder and decoder memory
for a 16 byte signature. That signature will be located on a 256-byte boundary.
Signature:
0x78, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12, 0x12, 0x78, 0x56, 0x34,
0x34, 0x12, 0x78, 0x56, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12, 0x78
The firmware implements 20 mailboxes of 20 32-bit words. The first 10 are
reserved for API calls. The second 10 are used by the firmware for event
notification.
Index Name
----- ----
0 Flags
1 Command
2 Return value
3 Timeout
4-19 Parameter/Result
The flags are defined in the following table. The direction is from the
perspective of the firmware.
Bit Direction Purpose
--- --------- -------
2 O Firmware has processed the command.
1 I Driver has finished setting the parameters.
0 I Driver is using this mailbox.
The command is a 32-bit enumerator. The API specifics may be found in the
fw-*-api.txt documents.
The return value is a 32-bit enumerator. Only two values are currently defined:
0=success and -1=command undefined.
There are 16 parameters/results 32-bit fields. The driver populates these fields
with values for all the parameters required by the call. The driver overwrites
these fields with result values returned by the call. The API specifics may be
found in the fw-*-api.txt documents.
The timeout value protects the card from a hung driver thread. If the driver
doesn't handle the completed call within the timeout specified, the firmware
will reset that mailbox.
To make an API call, the driver iterates over each mailbox looking for the
first one available (bit 0 has been cleared). The driver sets that bit, fills
in the command enumerator, the timeout value and any required parameters. The
driver then sets the parameter ready bit (bit 1). The firmware scans the
mailboxes for pending commands, processes them, sets the result code, populates
the result value array with that call's return values and sets the call
complete bit (bit 2). Once bit 2 is set, the driver should retrieve the results
and clear all the flags. If the driver does not perform this task within the
time set in the timeout register, the firmware will reset that mailbox.
Event notifications are sent from the firmware to the host. The host tells the
firmware which events it is interested in via an API call. That call tells the
firmware which notification mailbox to use. The firmware signals the host via
an interrupt. Only the 16 Results fields are used, the Flags, Command, Return
value and Timeout words are not used.

This page describes the structures and procedures used by the cx2341x DMA
engine.
Introduction
============
The cx2341x PCI interface is busmaster capable. This means it has a DMA
engine to efficiently transfer large volumes of data between the card and main
memory without requiring help from a CPU. Like most hardware, it must operate
on contiguous physical memory. This is difficult to come by in large quantities
on virtual memory machines.
Therefore, it also supports a technique called "scatter-gather". The card can
transfer multiple buffers in one operation. Instead of allocating one large
contiguous buffer, the driver can allocate several smaller buffers.
In practice, I've seen the average transfer to be roughly 80K, but transfers
above 128K were not uncommon, particularly at startup. The 128K figure is
important, because that is the largest block that the kernel can normally
allocate. Even still, 128K blocks are hard to come by, so the driver writer is
urged to choose a smaller block size and learn the scatter-gather technique.
Mailbox #10 is reserved for DMA transfer information.
Flow
====
This section describes, in general, the order of events when handling DMA
transfers. Detailed information follows this section.
- The card raises the Encoder interrupt.
- The driver reads the transfer type, offset and size from Mailbox #10.
- The driver constructs the scatter-gather array from enough free dma buffers
to cover the size.
- The driver schedules the DMA transfer via the ScheduleDMAtoHost API call.
- The card raises the DMA Complete interrupt.
- The driver checks the DMA status register for any errors.
- The driver post-processes the newly transferred buffers.
NOTE! It is possible that the Encoder and DMA Complete interrupts get raised
simultaneously. (End of the last, start of the next, etc.)
Mailbox #10
===========
The Flags, Command, Return Value and Timeout fields are ignored.
Name: Mailbox #10
Results[0]: Type: 0: MPEG.
Results[1]: Offset: The position relative to the card's memory space.
Results[2]: Size: The exact number of bytes to transfer.
My speculation is that since the StartCapture API has a capture type of "RAW"
available, that the type field will have other values that correspond to YUV
and PCM data.
Scatter-Gather Array
====================
The scatter-gather array is a contiguously allocated block of memory that
tells the card the source and destination of each data-block to transfer.
Card "addresses" are derived from the offset supplied by Mailbox #10. Host
addresses are the physical memory location of the target DMA buffer.
Each S-G array element is a struct of three 32-bit words. The first word is
the source address, the second is the destination address. Both take up the
entire 32 bits. The lowest 16 bits of the third word is the transfer byte
count. The high-bit of the third word is the "last" flag. The last-flag tells
the card to raise the DMA_DONE interrupt. From hard personal experience, if
you forget to set this bit, the card will still "work" but the stream will
most likely get corrupted.
The transfer count must be a multiple of 256. Therefore, the driver will need
to track how much data in the target buffer is valid and deal with it
accordingly.
Array Element:
- 32-bit Source Address
- 32-bit Destination Address
- 16-bit reserved (high bit is the last flag)
- 16-bit byte count
DMA Transfer Status
===================
Register 0x0004 holds the DMA Transfer Status:
Bit
4 Scatter-Gather array error
3 DMA write error
2 DMA read error
1 write completed
0 read completed

This document describes the cx2341x memory map and documents some of the register
space.
Warning! This information was figured out from searching through the memory and
registers, this information may not be correct and is certainly not complete, and
was not derived from anything more than searching through the memory space with
commands like:
ivtvctl -O min=0x02000000,max=0x020000ff
So take this as is, I'm always searching for more stuff, it's a large
register space :-).
Memory Map
==========
The cx2341x exposes its entire 64M memory space to the PCI host via the PCI BAR0
(Base Address Register 0). The addresses here are offsets relative to the
address held in BAR0.
0x00000000-0x00ffffff Encoder memory space
0x00000000-0x0003ffff Encode.rom
???-??? MPEG buffer(s)
???-??? Raw video capture buffer(s)
???-??? Raw audio capture buffer(s)
???-??? Display buffers (6 or 9)
0x01000000-0x01ffffff Decoder memory space
0x01000000-0x0103ffff Decode.rom
???-??? MPEG buffers(s)
0x0114b000-0x0115afff Audio.rom (deprecated?)
0x02000000-0x0200ffff Register Space
Registers
=========
The registers occupy the 64k space starting at the 0x02000000 offset from BAR0.
All of these registers are 32 bits wide.
DMA Registers 0x000-0xff:
0x00 - Control:
0=reset/cancel, 1=read, 2=write, 4=stop
0x04 - DMA status:
1=read busy, 2=write busy, 4=read error, 8=write error, 16=link list error
0x08 - pci DMA pointer for read link list
0x0c - pci DMA pointer for write link list
0x10 - read/write DMA enable:
1=read enable, 2=write enable
0x14 - always 0xffffffff, if set any lower instability occurs, 0x00 crashes
0x18 - ??
0x1c - always 0x20 or 32, smaller values slow down DMA transactions
0x20 - always value of 0x780a010a
0x24-0x3c - usually just random values???
0x40 - Interrupt status
0x44 - Write a bit here and shows up in Interrupt status 0x40
0x48 - Interrupt Mask
0x4C - always value of 0xfffdffff,
if changed to 0xffffffff DMA write interrupts break.
0x50 - always 0xffffffff
0x54 - always 0xffffffff (0x4c, 0x50, 0x54 seem like interrupt masks, are
3 processors on chip, Java ones, VPU, SPU, APU, maybe these are the
interrupt masks???).
0x60-0x7C - random values
0x80 - first write linked list reg, for Encoder Memory addr
0x84 - first write linked list reg, for pci memory addr
0x88 - first write linked list reg, for length of buffer in memory addr
(|0x80000000 or this for last link)
0x8c-0xcc - rest of write linked list reg, 8 sets of 3 total, DMA goes here
from linked list addr in reg 0x0c, firmware must push through or
something.
0xe0 - first (and only) read linked list reg, for pci memory addr
0xe4 - first (and only) read linked list reg, for Decoder memory addr
0xe8 - first (and only) read linked list reg, for length of buffer
0xec-0xff - Nothing seems to be in these registers, 0xec-f4 are 0x00000000.
Memory locations for Encoder Buffers 0x700-0x7ff:
These registers show offsets of memory locations pertaining to each
buffer area used for encoding, have to shift them by <<1 first.
0x07F8: Encoder SDRAM refresh
0x07FC: Encoder SDRAM pre-charge

>From the data sheet:
Register 24'h20004 PCI Interrupt Status
bit [18] IR_SMP_INT Set when 32 input samples have been collected over
gpio[16] pin into GP_SAMPLE register.
What's missing from the data sheet:
Setup 4KHz sampling rate (roughly 2x oversampled; good enough for our RC5
compat remote)
set register 0x35C050 to 0xa80a80
enable sampling
set register 0x35C054 to 0x5
Of course, enable the IRQ bit 18 in the interrupt mask register .(and
provide for a handler)
GP_SAMPLE register is at 0x35C058
Bits are then right shifted into the GP_SAMPLE register at the specified
rate; you get an interrupt when a full DWORD is recieved.
You need to recover the actual RC5 bits out of the (oversampled) IR sensor
bits. (Hint: look for the 0/1and 1/0 crossings of the RC5 bi-phase data) An
actual raw RC5 code will span 2-3 DWORDS, depending on the actual alignment.
I'm pretty sure when no IR signal is present the receiver is always in a
marking state(1); but stray light, etc can cause intermittent noise values
as well. Remember, this is a free running sample of the IR receiver state
over time, so don't assume any sample starts at any particular place.
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc2817.pdf
This data sheet (google search) seems to have a lovely description of the
RC5 basics
http://users.pandora.be/nenya/electronics/rc5/ and more data
http://www.ee.washington.edu/circuit_archive/text/ir_decode.txt
and even a reference to how to decode a bi-phase data stream.

framerate This setting controls frame rate of the camera. This is
an approximate setting (in terms of "worst" ... "best")
because camera changes frame rate depending on amount
of light available. Setting 0 is slowest, 6 is fastest.
Beware - fast settings are very demanding and may not
work well with all video sizes. Be conservative.

hue_correction This highly optional setting allows to adjust the
hue of the image in a way slightly different from
what usual "hue" control does. Both controls affect
YUV colorspace: regular "hue" control adjusts only
U component, and this "hue_correction" option similarly
adjusts only V component. However usually it is enough
to tweak only U or V to compensate for colored light or
color temperature; this option simply allows more
complicated correction when and if it is necessary.

init_brightness These settings specify _initial_ values which will be
init_contrast used to set up the camera. If your V4L application has
init_color its own controls to adjust the picture then these
init_hue controls will be used too. These options allow you to
preconfigure the camera when it gets connected, before
any V4L application connects to it. Good for webcams.

TODO list
---------
- Page migration requires the use of swap handles to preserve the
information of the anonymous page table entries. This means that swap
space is reserved but never used. The maximum number of swap handles used
is determined by CHUNK_SIZE (see mm/mempolicy.c) per ongoing migration.
Reservation of pages could be avoided by having a special type of swap
handle that does not require swap space and that would only track the page
references. Something like that was proposed by Marcelo Tosatti in the
past (search for migration cache on lkml or linux-mm@kvack.org).
- Page migration unmaps ptes for file backed pages and requires page
faults to reestablish these ptes. This could be optimized by somehow
recording the references before migration and then reestablish them later.
However, there are several locking challenges that have to be overcome
before this is possible.
- Page migration generates read ptes for anonymous pages. Dirty page
faults are required to make the pages writable again. It may be possible
to generate a pte marked dirty if it is known that the page is dirty and
that this process has the only reference to that page.

When a device is found on the bus, w1 core checks if driver for it's family is
loaded. If so, the family driver is attached to the slave.
If there is no driver for the family, a simple sysfs entry is created
for the slave device.
If there is no driver for the family, default one is assigned, which allows to perform
almost any kind of operations. Each logical operation is a transaction
in nature, which can contain several (two or one) low-level operations.
Let's see how one can read EEPROM context:
1. one must write control buffer, i.e. buffer containing command byte
and two byte address. At this step bus is reset and appropriate device
is selected using either W1_SKIP_ROM or W1_MATCH_ROM command.
Then provided control buffer is being written to the wire.
2. reading. This will issue reading eeprom response.
It is possible that between 1. and 2. w1 master thread will reset bus for searching
and slave device will be even removed, but in this case 0xff will
be read, since no device was selected.

Userspace communication protocol over connector [1].
Message types.
=============
There are three types of messages between w1 core and userspace:
1. Events. They are generated each time new master or slave device found
either due to automatic or requested search.
2. Userspace commands. Includes read/write and search/alarm search comamnds.
3. Replies to userspace commands.
Protocol.
========
[struct cn_msg] - connector header. It's length field is equal to size of the attached data.
[struct w1_netlink_msg] - w1 netlink header.
__u8 type - message type.
W1_SLAVE_ADD/W1_SLAVE_REMOVE - slave add/remove events.
W1_MASTER_ADD/W1_MASTER_REMOVE - master add/remove events.
W1_MASTER_CMD - userspace command for bus master device (search/alarm search).
W1_SLAVE_CMD - userspace command for slave device (read/write/ search/alarm search
for bus master device where given slave device found).
__u8 res - reserved
__u16 len - size of attached to this header data.
union {
__u8 id; - slave unique device id
struct w1_mst {
__u32 id; - master's id.
__u32 res; - reserved
} mst;
} id;
[strucrt w1_netlink_cmd] - command for gived master or slave device.
__u8 cmd - command opcode.
W1_CMD_READ - read command.
W1_CMD_WRITE - write command.
W1_CMD_SEARCH - search command.
W1_CMD_ALARM_SEARCH - alarm search command.
__u8 res - reserved
__u16 len - length of data for this command.
For read command data must be allocated like for write command.
__u8 data[0] - data for this command.
Each connector message can include one or more w1_netlink_msg with zero of more attached w1_netlink_cmd messages.
For event messages there are no w1_netlink_cmd embedded structures, only connector header
and w1_netlink_msg strucutre with "len" field being zero and filled type (one of event types)
and id - either 8 bytes of slave unique id in host order, or master's id, which is assigned
to bus master device when it is added to w1 core.
Currently replies to userspace commands are only generated for read command request.
One reply is generated exactly for one w1_netlink_cmd read request.
Replies are not combined when sent - i.e. typical reply messages looks like the following:
[cn_msg][w1_netlink_msg][w1_netlink_cmd]
cn_msg.len = sizeof(struct w1_netlink_msg) + sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd) + cmd->len;
w1_netlink_msg.len = sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd) + cmd->len;
w1_netlink_cmd.len = cmd->len;
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.
Then master or slave device is searched for.
When found, master device (requested or those one on where slave device is found) is locked.
If slave command is requested, then reset/select procedure is started to select given device.
Then all requested in w1_netlink_msg operations are performed one by one.
If command requires reply (like read command) it is sent on command completion.
When all commands (w1_netlink_cmd) are processed muster device is unlocked
and next w1_netlink_msg header processing started.
Connector [1] specific documentation.
====================================
Each connector message includes two u32 fields as "address".
w1 uses CN_W1_IDX and CN_W1_VAL defined in include/linux/connector.h header.
Each message also includes sequence and acknowledge numbers.
Sequence number for event messages is appropriate bus master sequence number increased with
each event message sent "through" this master.
Sequence number for userspace requests is set by userspace application.
Sequence number for reply is the same as was in request, and
acknowledge number is set to seq+1.
Additional documantion, source code examples.
============================================
1. Documentation/connector
2. http://tservice.net.ru/~s0mbre/archive/w1
This archive includes userspace application w1d.c which
uses read/write/search commands for all master/slave devices found on the bus.
