ADD + +The ADD event occurs at mount time. It will always be the first +uevent generated by the newly created filesystem. If the mount +is successful, an ONLINE uevent will follow. If it is not successful +then a REMOVE uevent will follow. + +The ADD uevent has two environment variables: SPECTATOR=[0|1] +and RDONLY=[0|1] that specify the spectator status (a read-only mount +with no journal assigned), and read-only (with journal assigned) status +of the filesystem respectively. + +2. ONLINE + +The ONLINE uevent is generated after a successful mount or remount. It +has the same environment variables as the ADD uevent. The ONLINE +uevent, along with the two environment variables for spectator and +RDONLY are a relatively recent addition (2.6.32-rc+) and will not +be generated by older kernels. + +3. CHANGE + +The CHANGE uevent is used in two places. One is when reporting the +successful mount of the filesystem by the first node (FIRSTMOUNT=Done). +This is used as a signal by gfs_controld that it is then ok for other +nodes in the cluster to mount the filesystem. + +The other CHANGE uevent is used to inform of the completion +of journal recovery for one of the filesystems journals. It has +two environment variables, JID= which specifies the journal id which +has just been recovered, and RECOVERY=[Done|Failed] to indicate the +success (or otherwise) of the operation. These uevents are generated +for every journal recovered, whether it is during the initial mount +process or as the result of gfs_controld requesting a specific journal +recovery via the /sys/fs/gfs2/<fsname>/lock_module/recovery file. + +Because the CHANGE uevent was used (in early versions of gfs_controld) +without checking the environment variables to discover the state, we +cannot add any more functions to it without running the risk of +someone using an older version of the user tools and breaking their +cluster.

This solution not ideal, though. On 32-bit systems, +memory from vmalloc() must be mapped into a relatively small address space; +it's easy to run out. On SMP systems, the page table changes required by +vmalloc() allocations can require expensive cross-processor interrupts on +all CPUs. And, on all systems, use of space in the vmalloc() range +increases pressure on the translation lookaside buffer (TLB), reducing the +performance of the system. + +In many cases, the need for memory from vmalloc() can be eliminated by +piecing together an array from smaller parts; the flexible array library +exists to make this task easier. + +A flexible array holds an arbitrary (within limits) number of fixed-sized +objects, accessed via an integer index. Sparse arrays are handled +reasonably well. Only single-page allocations are made, so memory +allocation failures should be relatively rare. The down sides are that the +arrays cannot be indexed directly, individual object size cannot exceed the +system page size, and putting data into a flexible array requires a copy +operation. It's also worth noting that flexible arrays do no internal +locking at all; if concurrent access to an array is possible, then the +caller must arrange for appropriate mutual exclusion. + +The creation of a flexible array is done with: + + #include <linux/flex_array.h> + + struct flex_array *flex_array_alloc(int element_size, + unsigned int total, + gfp_t flags); + +The individual object size is provided by element_size, while total is the +maximum number of objects which can be stored in the array. The flags +argument is passed directly to the internal memory allocation calls. With +the current code, using flags to ask for high memory is likely to lead to +notably unpleasant side effects. + +Storing data into a flexible array is accomplished with a call to: + + int flex_array_put(struct flex_array *array, unsigned int element_nr, + void *src, gfp_t flags); + +This call will copy the data from src into the array, in the position +indicated by element_nr (which must be less than the maximum specified when +the array was created). If any memory allocations must be performed, flags +will be used. The return value is zero on success, a negative error code +otherwise. + +There might possibly be a need to store data into a flexible array while +running in some sort of atomic context; in this situation, sleeping in the +memory allocator would be a bad thing. That can be avoided by using +GFP_ATOMIC for the flags value, but, often, there is a better way. The +trick is to ensure that any needed memory allocations are done before +entering atomic context, using: + + int flex_array_prealloc(struct flex_array *array, unsigned int start, + unsigned int end, gfp_t flags); + +This function will ensure that memory for the elements indexed in the range +defined by start and end has been allocated. Thereafter, a +flex_array_put() call on an element in that range is guaranteed not to +block. + +Getting data back out of the array is done with: + + void *flex_array_get(struct flex_array *fa, unsigned int element_nr); + +The return value is a pointer to the data element, or NULL if that +particular element has never been allocated. + +Note that it is possible to get back a valid pointer for an element which +has never been stored in the array. Memory for array elements is allocated +one page at a time; a single allocation could provide memory for several +adjacent elements. The flexible array code does not know if a specific +element has been written; it only knows if the associated memory is +present. So a flex_array_get() call on an element which was never stored +in the array has the potential to return a pointer to random data. If the +caller does not have a separate way to know which elements were actually +stored, it might be wise, at least, to add GFP_ZERO to the flags argument +to ensure that all elements are zeroed. + +There is no way to remove a single element from the array. It is possible, +though, to remove all elements with a call to: + + void flex_array_free_parts(struct flex_array *array); + +This call frees all elements, but leaves the array itself in place. +Freeing the entire array is done with: + + void flex_array_free(struct flex_array *array); + +As of this writing, there are no users of flexible arrays in the mainline +kernel.

In addition, graphical gcov front-ends such +as lcov [2] can be used to automate the process of collecting data +for the entire kernel and provide coverage overviews in HTML format. + +Possible uses: + +* debugging (has this line been reached at all?) +* test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?) +* minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the + associated code is never run?) + +-- + +[1] http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov.html +[2] http://ltp.sourceforge.net/coverage/lcov.php + + +2. Preparation +============== + +Configure the kernel with: + + CONFIG_DEBUGFS=y + CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y + +and to get coverage data for the entire kernel: + + CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y + +Note that kernels compiled with profiling flags will be significantly +larger and run slower. Also CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL may not be supported +on all architectures. + +Profiling data will only become accessible once debugfs has been +mounted: + + mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug + + +3. Customization +================ + +To enable profiling for specific files or directories, add a line +similar to the following to the respective kernel Makefile: + + For a single file (e.g. main.o): + GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := y + + For all files in one directory: + GCOV_PROFILE := y + +To exclude files from being profiled even when CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL +is specified, use: + + GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := n + and: + GCOV_PROFILE := n + +Only files which are linked to the main kernel image or are compiled as +kernel modules are supported by this mechanism. + + +4. Files +======== + +The gcov kernel support creates the following files in debugfs: + + /sys/kernel/debug/gcov + Parent directory for all gcov-related files. + + /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/reset + Global reset file: resets all coverage data to zero when + written to. + + /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/path/to/compile/dir/file.gcda + The actual gcov data file as understood by the gcov + tool. Resets file coverage data to zero when written to. + + /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/path/to/compile/dir/file.gcno + Symbolic link to a static data file required by the gcov + tool. This file is generated by gcc when compiling with + option -ftest-coverage. + + +5. Modules +========== + +Kernel modules may contain cleanup code which is only run during +module unload time. The gcov mechanism provides a means to collect +coverage data for such code by keeping a copy of the data associated +with the unloaded module. This data remains available through debugfs. +Once the module is loaded again, the associated coverage counters are +initialized with the data from its previous instantiation. + +This behavior can be deactivated by specifying the gcov_persist kernel +parameter: + + gcov_persist=0 + +At run-time, a user can also choose to discard data for an unloaded +module by writing to its data file or the global reset file. + + +6. Separated build and test machines +==================================== + +The gcov kernel profiling infrastructure is designed to work out-of-the +box for setups where kernels are built and run on the same machine. In +cases where the kernel runs on a separate machine, special preparations +must be made, depending on where the gcov tool is used: + +a) gcov is run on the TEST machine + +The gcov tool version on the test machine must be compatible with the +gcc version used for kernel build. Also the following files need to be +copied from build to test machine: + +from the source tree: + - all C source files + headers + +from the build tree: + - all C source files + headers + - all .gcda and .gcno files + - all links to directories + +It is important to note that these files need to be placed into the +exact same file system location on the test machine as on the build +machine. If any of the path components is symbolic link, the actual +directory needs to be used instead (due to make's CURDIR handling). + +b) gcov is run on the BUILD machine + +The following files need to be copied after each test case from test +to build machine: + +from the gcov directory in sysfs: + - all .gcda files + - all links to .gcno files + +These files can be copied to any location on the build machine. gcov +must then be called with the -o option pointing to that directory. + +Example directory setup on the build machine: + + /tmp/linux: kernel source tree + /tmp/out: kernel build directory as specified by make O= + /tmp/coverage: location of the files copied from the test machine + + [user@build] cd /tmp/out + [user@build] gcov -o /tmp/coverage/tmp/out/init main.c + + +7. Troubleshooting +================== + +Problem: Compilation aborts during linker step. +Cause: Profiling flags are specified for source files which are not + linked to the main kernel or which are linked by a custom + linker procedure. +Solution: Exclude affected source files from profiling by specifying + GCOV_PROFILE := n or GCOV_PROFILE_basename.o := n in the + corresponding Makefile. + +Problem: Files copied from sysfs appear empty or incomplete. +Cause: Due to the way seq_file works, some tools such as cp or tar + may not correctly copy files from sysfs. +Solution: Use 'cat' to read .gcda files and 'cp -d' to copy links. + Alternatively use the mechanism shown in Appendix B. + + +Appendix A: gather_on_build.sh +============================== + +Sample script to gather coverage meta files on the build machine +(see 6a): +#!/bin/bash + +KSRC=$1 +KOBJ=$2 +DEST=$3 + +if [ -z "$KSRC" ] || [ -z "$KOBJ" ] || [ -z "$DEST" ]; then + echo "Usage: $0 <ksrc directory> <kobj directory> <output.tar.gz>" >&2 + exit 1 +fi + +KSRC=$(cd $KSRC; printf "all:\n\t@echo \${CURDIR}\n" | make -f -) +KOBJ=$(cd $KOBJ; printf "all:\n\t@echo \${CURDIR}\n" | make -f -) + +find $KSRC $KOBJ \( -name '*.gcno' -o -name '*.[ch]' -o -type l \) -a \ + -perm /u+r,g+r | tar cfz $DEST -P -T - + +if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then + echo "$DEST successfully created, copy to test system and unpack with:" + echo " tar xfz $DEST -P" +else + echo "Could not create file $DEST" +fi + + +Appendix B: gather_on_test.sh +============================= + +Sample script to gather coverage data files on the test machine +(see 6b): + +#!/bin/bash -e + +DEST=$1 +GCDA=/sys/kernel/debug/gcov + +if [ -z "$DEST" ] ; then + echo "Usage: $0 <output.tar.gz>" >&2 + exit 1 +fi + +TEMPDIR=$(mktemp -d) +echo Collecting data.. +find $GCDA -type d -exec mkdir -p $TEMPDIR/\{\} \; +find $GCDA -name '*.gcda' -exec sh -c 'cat < $0 > '$TEMPDIR'/$0' {} \; +find $GCDA -name '*.gcno' -exec sh -c 'cp -d $0 '$TEMPDIR'/$0' {} \; +tar czf $DEST -C $TEMPDIR sys +rm -rf $TEMPDIR + +echo "$DEST successfully created, copy to build system and unpack with:" +echo " tar xfz $DEST" diff --git a/Documentation/hwmon/pcf8591 b/Documentation/hwmon/pcf8591 index 5628fcf4207f..e76a7892f68e 100644 --- a/Documentation/hwmon/pcf8591 +++ b/Documentation/hwmon/pcf8591 @@ -2,11 +2,11 @@ Kernel driver pcf8591 ===================== Supported chips: - * Philips PCF8591 + * Philips/NXP PCF8591 Prefix: 'pcf8591' Addresses scanned: I2C 0x48 - 0x4f - Datasheet: Publicly available at the Philips Semiconductor website - http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/pip/PCF8591P.html + Datasheet: Publicly available at the NXP website + http://www.nxp.com/pip/PCF8591_6.html Authors: Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@aurel32.net> @@ -16,9 +16,10 @@ Authors: Description ----------- + The PCF8591 is an 8-bit A/D and D/A converter (4 analog inputs and one -analog output) for the I2C bus produced by Philips Semiconductors.

The Integrity +Measurement Architecture (IMA) and Linux Integrity Module interface +are examples of such solutions. + +To get trust in the initial kernel without using Intel TXT, a +static root of trust must be used. This bases trust in BIOS +starting at system reset and requires measurement of all code +executed between system reset through the completion of the kernel +boot as well as data objects used by that code. In the case of a +Linux kernel, this means all of BIOS, any option ROMs, the +bootloader and the boot config. In practice, this is a lot of +code/data, much of which is subject to change from boot to boot +(e.g. changing NICs may change option ROMs). Without reference +hashes, these measurement changes are difficult to assess or +confirm as benign. This process also does not provide DMA +protection, memory configuration/alias checks and locks, crash +protection, or policy support. + +By using the hardware-based root of trust that Intel TXT provides, +many of these issues can be mitigated. Specifically: many +pre-launch components can be removed from the trust chain, DMA +protection is provided to all launched components, a large number +of platform configuration checks are performed and values locked, +protection is provided for any data in the event of an improper +shutdown, and there is support for policy-based execution/verification. +This provides a more stable measurement and a higher assurance of +system configuration and initial state than would be otherwise +possible. Since the tboot project is open source, source code for +almost all parts of the trust chain is available (excepting SMM and +Intel-provided firmware). + +How Does it Work? +================= + +o Tboot is an executable that is launched by the bootloader as + the "kernel" (the binary the bootloader executes). +o It performs all of the work necessary to determine if the + platform supports Intel TXT and, if so, executes the GETSEC[SENTER] + processor instruction that initiates the dynamic root of trust. + - If tboot determines that the system does not support Intel TXT + or is not configured correctly (e.g. the SINIT AC Module was + incorrect), it will directly launch the kernel with no changes + to any state. + - Tboot will output various information about its progress to the + terminal, serial port, and/or an in-memory log; the output + locations can be configured with a command line switch. +o The GETSEC[SENTER] instruction will return control to tboot and + tboot then verifies certain aspects of the environment (e.g. TPM NV + lock, e820 table does not have invalid entries, etc.). +o It will wake the APs from the special sleep state the GETSEC[SENTER] + instruction had put them in and place them into a wait-for-SIPI + state. + - Because the processors will not respond to an INIT or SIPI when + in the TXT environment, it is necessary to create a small VT-x + guest for the APs. When they run in this guest, they will + simply wait for the INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence, which will cause + VMEXITs, and then disable VT and jump to the SIPI vector. This + approach seemed like a better choice than having to insert + special code into the kernel's MP wakeup sequence. +o Tboot then applies an (optional) user-defined launch policy to + verify the kernel and initrd. + - This policy is rooted in TPM NV and is described in the tboot + project. The tboot project also contains code for tools to + create and provision the policy. + - Policies are completely under user control and if not present + then any kernel will be launched. + - Policy action is flexible and can include halting on failures + or simply logging them and continuing. +o Tboot adjusts the e820 table provided by the bootloader to reserve + its own location in memory as well as to reserve certain other + TXT-related regions. +o As part of it's launch, tboot DMA protects all of RAM (using the + VT-d PMRs). Thus, the kernel must be booted with 'intel_iommu=on' + in order to remove this blanket protection and use VT-d's + page-level protection. +o Tboot will populate a shared page with some data about itself and + pass this to the Linux kernel as it transfers control. + - The location of the shared page is passed via the boot_params + struct as a physical address. +o The kernel will look for the tboot shared page address and, if it + exists, map it. +o As one of the checks/protections provided by TXT, it makes a copy + of the VT-d DMARs in a DMA-protected region of memory and verifies + them for correctness. The VT-d code will detect if the kernel was + launched with tboot and use this copy instead of the one in the + ACPI table. +o At this point, tboot and TXT are out of the picture until a + shutdown (S<n>) +o In order to put a system into any of the sleep states after a TXT + launch, TXT must first be exited. This is to prevent attacks that + attempt to crash the system to gain control on reboot and steal + data left in memory. + - The kernel will perform all of its sleep preparation and + populate the shared page with the ACPI data needed to put the + platform in the desired sleep state. + - Then the kernel jumps into tboot via the vector specified in the + shared page. + - Tboot will clean up the environment and disable TXT, then use the + kernel-provided ACPI information to actually place the platform + into the desired sleep state. + - In the case of S3, tboot will also register itself as the resume + vector. This is necessary because it must re-establish the + measured environment upon resume. Once the TXT environment + has been restored, it will restore the TPM PCRs and then + transfer control back to the kernel's S3 resume vector. + In order to preserve system integrity across S3, the kernel + provides tboot with a set of memory ranges (kernel + code/data/bss, S3 resume code, and AP trampoline) that tboot + will calculate a MAC (message authentication code) over and then + seal with the TPM. On resume and once the measured environment + has been re-established, tboot will re-calculate the MAC and + verify it against the sealed value. Tboot's policy determines + what happens if the verification fails. + +That's pretty much it for TXT support. + + +Configuring the System: +====================== + +This code works with 32bit, 32bit PAE, and 64bit (x86_64) kernels. + +In BIOS, the user must enable: TPM, TXT, VT-x, VT-d. Not all BIOSes +allow these to be individually enabled/disabled and the screens in +which to find them are BIOS-specific. + +grub.conf needs to be modified as follows: + title Linux 2.6.29-tip w/ tboot + root (hd0,0) + kernel /tboot.gz logging=serial,vga,memory + module /vmlinuz-2.6.29-tip intel_iommu=on ro + root=LABEL=/ rhgb console=ttyS0,115200 3 + module /initrd-2.6.29-tip.img + module /Q35_SINIT_17.BIN + +The kernel option for enabling Intel TXT support is found under the +Security top-level menu and is called "Enable Intel(R) Trusted +Execution Technology (TXT)". It is marked as EXPERIMENTAL and +depends on the generic x86 support (to allow maximum flexibility in +kernel build options), since the tboot code will detect whether the +platform actually supports Intel TXT and thus whether any of the +kernel code is executed. + +The Q35_SINIT_17.BIN file is what Intel TXT refers to as an +Authenticated Code Module. It is specific to the chipset in the +system and can also be found on the Trusted Boot site. It is an +(unencrypted) module signed by Intel that is used as part of the +DRTM process to verify and configure the system. It is signed +because it operates at a higher privilege level in the system than +any other macrocode and its correct operation is critical to the +establishment of the DRTM.

Technical description + + +0. Introduction +=============== + +kmemcheck is a debugging feature for the Linux Kernel. More specifically, it +is a dynamic checker that detects and warns about some uses of uninitialized +memory. + +Userspace programmers might be familiar with Valgrind's memcheck. The main +difference between memcheck and kmemcheck is that memcheck works for userspace +programs only, and kmemcheck works for the kernel only. The implementations +are of course vastly different. Because of this, kmemcheck is not as accurate +as memcheck, but it turns out to be good enough in practice to discover real +programmer errors that the compiler is not able to find through static +analysis. + +Enabling kmemcheck on a kernel will probably slow it down to the extent that +the machine will not be usable for normal workloads such as e.g. an +interactive desktop. kmemcheck will also cause the kernel to use about twice +as much memory as normal. For this reason, kmemcheck is strictly a debugging +feature. + + +1. Downloading +============== + +kmemcheck can only be downloaded using git. If you want to write patches +against the current code, you should use the kmemcheck development branch of +the tip tree. It is also possible to use the linux-next tree, which also +includes the latest version of kmemcheck. + +Assuming that you've already cloned the linux-2.6.git repository, all you +have to do is add the -tip tree as a remote, like this: + + $ git remote add tip git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git + +To actually download the tree, fetch the remote: + + $ git fetch tip + +And to check out a new local branch with the kmemcheck code: + + $ git checkout -b kmemcheck tip/kmemcheck + +General instructions for the -tip tree can be found here: +http://people.redhat.com/mingo/tip.git/readme.txt + + +2. Configuring and compiling +============================ + +kmemcheck only works for the x86 (both 32- and 64-bit) platform. A number of +configuration variables must have specific settings in order for the kmemcheck +menu to even appear in "menuconfig". These are: + + o CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n + + This option is located under "General setup" / "Optimize for size". + + Without this, gcc will use certain optimizations that usually lead to + false positive warnings from kmemcheck. An example of this is a 16-bit + field in a struct, where gcc may load 32 bits, then discard the upper + 16 bits. kmemcheck sees only the 32-bit load, and may trigger a + warning for the upper 16 bits (if they're uninitialized). + + o CONFIG_SLAB=y or CONFIG_SLUB=y + + This option is located under "General setup" / "Choose SLAB + allocator". + + o CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=n + + This option is located under "Kernel hacking" / "Tracers" / "Kernel + Function Tracer" + + When function tracing is compiled in, gcc emits a call to another + function at the beginning of every function. This means that when the + page fault handler is called, the ftrace framework will be called + before kmemcheck has had a chance to handle the fault. If ftrace then + modifies memory that was tracked by kmemcheck, the result is an + endless recursive page fault. + + o CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=n + + This option is located under "Kernel hacking" / "Debug page memory + allocations". + +In addition, I highly recommend turning on CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y. This is also +located under "Kernel hacking". With this, you will be able to get line number +information from the kmemcheck warnings, which is extremely valuable in +debugging a problem. This option is not mandatory, however, because it slows +down the compilation process and produces a much bigger kernel image. + +Now the kmemcheck menu should be visible (under "Kernel hacking" / "kmemcheck: +trap use of uninitialized memory"). Here follows a description of the +kmemcheck configuration variables: + + o CONFIG_KMEMCHECK + + This must be enabled in order to use kmemcheck at all... + + o CONFIG_KMEMCHECK_[DISABLED | ENABLED | ONESHOT]_BY_DEFAULT + + This option controls the status of kmemcheck at boot-time. "Enabled" + will enable kmemcheck right from the start, "disabled" will boot the + kernel as normal (but with the kmemcheck code compiled in, so it can + be enabled at run-time after the kernel has booted), and "one-shot" is + a special mode which will turn kmemcheck off automatically after + detecting the first use of uninitialized memory. + + If you are using kmemcheck to actively debug a problem, then you + probably want to choose "enabled" here. + + The one-shot mode is mostly useful in automated test setups because it + can prevent floods of warnings and increase the chances of the machine + surviving in case something is really wrong. In other cases, the one- + shot mode could actually be counter-productive because it would turn + itself off at the very first error -- in the case of a false positive + too -- and this would come in the way of debugging the specific + problem you were interested in. + + If you would like to use your kernel as normal, but with a chance to + enable kmemcheck in case of some problem, it might be a good idea to + choose "disabled" here. When kmemcheck is disabled, most of the run- + time overhead is not incurred, and the kernel will be almost as fast + as normal. + + o CONFIG_KMEMCHECK_QUEUE_SIZE + + Select the maximum number of error reports to store in an internal + (fixed-size) buffer. Since errors can occur virtually anywhere and in + any context, we need a temporary storage area which is guaranteed not + to generate any other page faults when accessed. The queue will be + emptied as soon as a tasklet may be scheduled. If the queue is full, + new error reports will be lost. + + The default value of 64 is probably fine. If some code produces more + than 64 errors within an irqs-off section, then the code is likely to + produce many, many more, too, and these additional reports seldom give + any more information (the first report is usually the most valuable + anyway). + + This number might have to be adjusted if you are not using serial + console or similar to capture the kernel log. If you are using the + "dmesg" command to save the log, then getting a lot of kmemcheck + warnings might overflow the kernel log itself, and the earlier reports + will get lost in that way instead. Try setting this to 10 or so on + such a setup. + + o CONFIG_KMEMCHECK_SHADOW_COPY_SHIFT + + Select the number of shadow bytes to save along with each entry of the + error-report queue. These bytes indicate what parts of an allocation + are initialized, uninitialized, etc. and will be displayed when an + error is detected to help the debugging of a particular problem. + + The number entered here is actually the logarithm of the number of + bytes that will be saved. So if you pick for example 5 here, kmemcheck + will save 2^5 = 32 bytes. + + The default value should be fine for debugging most problems. It also + fits nicely within 80 columns. + + o CONFIG_KMEMCHECK_PARTIAL_OK + + This option (when enabled) works around certain GCC optimizations that + produce 32-bit reads from 16-bit variables where the upper 16 bits are + thrown away afterwards. + + The default value (enabled) is recommended. This may of course hide + some real errors, but disabling it would probably produce a lot of + false positives. + + o CONFIG_KMEMCHECK_BITOPS_OK + + This option silences warnings that would be generated for bit-field + accesses where not all the bits are initialized at the same time. This + may also hide some real bugs. + + This option is probably obsolete, or it should be replaced with + the kmemcheck-/bitfield-annotations for the code in question. The + default value is therefore fine. + +Now compile the kernel as usual. + + +3. How to use +============= + +3.1. Booting +============ + +First some information about the command-line options. There is only one +option specific to kmemcheck, and this is called "kmemcheck". It can be used +to override the default mode as chosen by the CONFIG_KMEMCHECK_*_BY_DEFAULT +option. Its possible settings are: + + o kmemcheck=0 (disabled) + o kmemcheck=1 (enabled) + o kmemcheck=2 (one-shot mode) + +If SLUB debugging has been enabled in the kernel, it may take precedence over +kmemcheck in such a way that the slab caches which are under SLUB debugging +will not be tracked by kmemcheck. In order to ensure that this doesn't happen +(even though it shouldn't by default), use SLUB's boot option "slub_debug", +like this: slub_debug=- + +In fact, this option may also be used for fine-grained control over SLUB vs. +kmemcheck. For example, if the command line includes "kmemcheck=1 +slub_debug=,dentry", then SLUB debugging will be used only for the "dentry" +slab cache, and with kmemcheck tracking all the other caches. This is advanced +usage, however, and is not generally recommended. + + +3.2. Run-time enable/disable +============================ + +When the kernel has booted, it is possible to enable or disable kmemcheck at +run-time. WARNING: This feature is still experimental and may cause false +positive warnings to appear. Therefore, try not to use this. If you find that +it doesn't work properly (e.g. you see an unreasonable amount of warnings), I +will be happy to take bug reports. + +Use the file /proc/sys/kernel/kmemcheck for this purpose, e.g.: + + $ echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/kmemcheck # disables kmemcheck + +The numbers are the same as for the kmemcheck= command-line option. + + +3.3.

IMPORTANT: This must +be the vmlinux of the kernel that produced the warning in the first place! If +not, the line number information will almost certainly be wrong. + +The "-i" tells addr2line to also print the line numbers of inlined functions. +In this case, the flag was very important, because otherwise, it would only +have printed the first line, which is just a call to memcpy(), which could be +called from a thousand places in the kernel, and is therefore not very useful. +These inlined functions would not show up in the stack trace above, simply +because the kernel doesn't load the extra debugging information. This +technique can of course be used with ordinary kernel oopses as well. + +In this case, it's the caller of memcpy() that is interesting, and it can be +found in include/asm-generic/siginfo.h, line 287: + +281 static inline void copy_siginfo(struct siginfo *to, struct siginfo *from) +282 { +283 if (from->si_code < 0) +284 memcpy(to, from, sizeof(*to)); +285 else +286 /* _sigchld is currently the largest know union member */ +287 memcpy(to, from, __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE + sizeof(from->_sifields._sigchld)); +288 } + +Since this was a read (kmemcheck usually warns about reads only, though it can +warn about writes to unallocated or freed memory as well), it was probably the +"from" argument which contained some uninitialized bytes.

The +variable "first" was found on a list -- passed in as the second argument to +collect_signal().

Here we see that what we are looking for is +&tsk->signal->shared_pending. + +Our next task is now to figure out which function that puts items on this +"shared_pending" list. A crude, but efficient tool, is git grep: + + $ git grep -n 'shared_pending' kernel/ + ... + kernel/signal.c:828: pending = group ? &t->signal->shared_pending : &t->pending; + kernel/signal.c:1339: pending = group ? &t->signal->shared_pending : &t->pending; + ... + +There were more results, but none of them were related to list operations, +and these were the only assignments. We inspect the line numbers more closely +and find that this is indeed where items are being added to the list: + +816 static int send_signal(int sig, struct siginfo *info, struct task_struct *t, +817 int group) +818 { +... +828 pending = group ? &t->signal->shared_pending : &t->pending; +... +851 q = __sigqueue_alloc(t, GFP_ATOMIC, (sig < SIGRTMIN && +852 (is_si_special(info) || +853 info->si_code >= 0))); +854 if (q) { +855 list_add_tail(&q->list, &pending->list); +... +890 } + +and: + +1309 int send_sigqueue(struct sigqueue *q, struct task_struct *t, int group) +1310 { +.... +1339 pending = group ? &t->signal->shared_pending : &t->pending; +1340 list_add_tail(&q->list, &pending->list); +.... +1347 } + +In the first case, the list element we are looking for, "q", is being returned +from the function __sigqueue_alloc(), which looks like an allocation function. +Let's take a look at it: + +187 static struct sigqueue *__sigqueue_alloc(struct task_struct *t, gfp_t flags, +188 int override_rlimit) +189 { +190 struct sigqueue *q = NULL; +191 struct user_struct *user; +192 +193 /* +194 * We won't get problems with the target's UID changing under us +195 * because changing it requires RCU be used, and if t != current, the +196 * caller must be holding the RCU readlock (by way of a spinlock) and +197 * we use RCU protection here +198 */ +199 user = get_uid(__task_cred(t)->user); +200 atomic_inc(&user->sigpending); +201 if (override_rlimit || +202 atomic_read(&user->sigpending) <= +203 t->signal->rlim[RLIMIT_SIGPENDING].rlim_cur) +204 q = kmem_cache_alloc(sigqueue_cachep, flags); +205 if (unlikely(q == NULL)) { +206 atomic_dec(&user->sigpending); +207 free_uid(user); +208 } else { +209 INIT_LIST_HEAD(&q->list); +210 q->flags = 0; +211 q->user = user; +212 } +213 +214 return q; +215 } + +We see that this function initializes q->list, q->flags, and q->user. It seems +that now is the time to look at the definition of "struct sigqueue", e.g.: + +14 struct sigqueue { +15 struct list_head list; +16 int flags; +17 siginfo_t info; +18 struct user_struct *user; +19 }; + +And, you might remember, it was a memcpy() on &first->info that caused the +warning, so this makes perfect sense. It also seems reasonable to assume that +it is the caller of __sigqueue_alloc() that has the responsibility of filling +out (initializing) this member. + +But just which fields of the struct were uninitialized? Let's look at +kmemcheck's report again: + +WARNING: kmemcheck: Caught 32-bit read from uninitialized memory (ffff88003e4a2024) +80000000000000000000000000000000000000000088ffff0000000000000000 + i i i i u u u u i i i i i i i i u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u + ^ + +These first two lines are the memory dump of the memory object itself, and the +shadow bytemap, respectively. The memory object itself is in this case +&first->info. Just beware that the start of this dump is NOT the start of the +object itself! The position of the caret (^) corresponds with the address of +the read (ffff88003e4a2024). + +The shadow bytemap dump legend is as follows: + + i - initialized + u - uninitialized + a - unallocated (memory has been allocated by the slab layer, but has not + yet been handed off to anybody) + f - freed (memory has been allocated by the slab layer, but has been freed + by the previous owner) + +In order to figure out where (relative to the start of the object) the +uninitialized memory was located, we have to look at the disassembly. For +that, we'll need the RIP address again: + +RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8104ede8>] [<ffffffff8104ede8>] __dequeue_signal+0xc8/0x190 + + $ objdump -d --no-show-raw-insn vmlinux | grep -C 8 ffffffff8104ede8: + ffffffff8104edc8: mov %r8,0x8(%r8) + ffffffff8104edcc: test %r10d,%r10d + ffffffff8104edcf: js ffffffff8104ee88 <__dequeue_signal+0x168> + ffffffff8104edd5: mov %rax,%rdx + ffffffff8104edd8: mov $0xc,%ecx + ffffffff8104eddd: mov %r13,%rdi + ffffffff8104ede0: mov $0x30,%eax + ffffffff8104ede5: mov %rdx,%rsi + ffffffff8104ede8: rep movsl %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi) + ffffffff8104edea: test $0x2,%al + ffffffff8104edec: je ffffffff8104edf0 <__dequeue_signal+0xd0> + ffffffff8104edee: movsw %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi) + ffffffff8104edf0: test $0x1,%al + ffffffff8104edf2: je ffffffff8104edf5 <__dequeue_signal+0xd5> + ffffffff8104edf4: movsb %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi) + ffffffff8104edf5: mov %r8,%rdi + ffffffff8104edf8: callq ffffffff8104de60 <__sigqueue_free> + +As expected, it's the "rep movsl" instruction from the memcpy() that causes +the warning. We know about REP MOVSL that it uses the register RCX to count +the number of remaining iterations. By taking a look at the register dump +again (from the kmemcheck report), we can figure out how many bytes were left +to copy: + +RAX: 0000000000000030 RBX: ffff88003d4ea968 RCX: 0000000000000009 + +By looking at the disassembly, we also see that %ecx is being loaded with the +value $0xc just before (ffffffff8104edd8), so we are very lucky. Keep in mind +that this is the number of iterations, not bytes. And since this is a "long" +operation, we need to multiply by 4 to get the number of bytes. So this means +that the uninitialized value was encountered at 4 * (0xc - 0x9) = 12 bytes +from the start of the object. + +We can now try to figure out which field of the "struct siginfo" that was not +initialized. This is the beginning of the struct: + +40 typedef struct siginfo { +41 int si_signo; +42 int si_errno; +43 int si_code; +44 +45 union { +.. +92 } _sifields; +93 } siginfo_t; + +On 64-bit, the int is 4 bytes long, so it must the the union member that has +not been initialized. We can verify this using gdb: + + $ gdb vmlinux + ... + (gdb) p &((struct siginfo *) 0)->_sifields + $1 = (union {...} *) 0x10 + +Actually, it seems that the union member is located at offset 0x10 -- which +means that gcc has inserted 4 bytes of padding between the members si_code +and _sifields. We can now get a fuller picture of the memory dump: + + _----------------------------=> si_code + / _--------------------=> (padding) + | / _------------=> _sifields(._kill._pid) + | | / _----=> _sifields(._kill._uid) + | | | / +-------|-------|-------|-------| +80000000000000000000000000000000000000000088ffff0000000000000000 + i i i i u u u u i i i i i i i i u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u + +This allows us to realize another important fact: si_code contains the value +0x80. Remember that x86 is little endian, so the first 4 bytes "80000000" are +really the number 0x00000080. With a bit of research, we find that this is +actually the constant SI_KERNEL defined in include/asm-generic/siginfo.h: + +144 #define SI_KERNEL 0x80 /* sent by the kernel from somewhere */ + +This macro is used in exactly one place in the x86 kernel: In send_signal() +in kernel/signal.c: + +816 static int send_signal(int sig, struct siginfo *info, struct task_struct *t, +817 int group) +818 { +... +828 pending = group ? &t->signal->shared_pending : &t->pending; +... +851 q = __sigqueue_alloc(t, GFP_ATOMIC, (sig < SIGRTMIN && +852 (is_si_special(info) || +853 info->si_code >= 0))); +854 if (q) { +855 list_add_tail(&q->list, &pending->list); +856 switch ((unsigned long) info) { +... +865 case (unsigned long) SEND_SIG_PRIV: +866 q->info.si_signo = sig; +867 q->info.si_errno = 0; +868 q->info.si_code = SI_KERNEL; +869 q->info.si_pid = 0; +870 q->info.si_uid = 0; +871 break; +... +890 } + +Not only does this match with the .si_code member, it also matches the place +we found earlier when looking for where siginfo_t objects are enqueued on the +"shared_pending" list. + +So to sum up: It seems that it is the padding introduced by the compiler +between two struct fields that is uninitialized, and this gets reported when +we do a memcpy() on the struct. This means that we have identified a false +positive warning. + +Normally, kmemcheck will not report uninitialized accesses in memcpy() calls +when both the source and destination addresses are tracked. (Instead, we copy +the shadow bytemap as well). In this case, the destination address clearly +was not tracked. We can dig a little deeper into the stack trace from above: + + arch/x86/kernel/signal.c:805 + arch/x86/kernel/signal.c:871 + arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:694 + +And we clearly see that the destination siginfo object is located on the +stack: + +782 static void do_signal(struct pt_regs *regs) +783 { +784 struct k_sigaction ka; +785 siginfo_t info; +... +804 signr = get_signal_to_deliver(&info, &ka, regs, NULL); +... +854 } + +And this &info is what eventually gets passed to copy_siginfo() as the +destination argument. + +Now, even though we didn't find an actual error here, the example is still a +good one, because it shows how one would go about to find out what the report +was all about. + + +3.4. Annotating false positives +=============================== + +There are a few different ways to make annotations in the source code that +will keep kmemcheck from checking and reporting certain allocations. Here +they are: + + o __GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE + + This flag can be passed to kmalloc() or kmem_cache_alloc() (therefore + also to other functions that end up calling one of these) to indicate + that the allocation should not be tracked because it would lead to + a false positive report. This is a "big hammer" way of silencing + kmemcheck; after all, even if the false positive pertains to + particular field in a struct, for example, we will now lose the + ability to find (real) errors in other parts of the same struct. + + Example: + + /* No warnings will ever trigger on accessing any part of x */ + x = kmalloc(sizeof *x, GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE); + + o kmemcheck_bitfield_begin(name)/kmemcheck_bitfield_end(name) and + kmemcheck_annotate_bitfield(ptr, name) + + The first two of these three macros can be used inside struct + definitions to signal, respectively, the beginning and end of a + bitfield. Additionally, this will assign the bitfield a name, which + is given as an argument to the macros. + + Having used these markers, one can later use + kmemcheck_annotate_bitfield() at the point of allocation, to indicate + which parts of the allocation is part of a bitfield. + + Example: + + struct foo { + int x; + + kmemcheck_bitfield_begin(flags); + int flag_a:1; + int flag_b:1; + kmemcheck_bitfield_end(flags); + + int y; + }; + + struct foo *x = kmalloc(sizeof *x); + + /* No warnings will trigger on accessing the bitfield of x */ + kmemcheck_annotate_bitfield(x, flags); + + Note that kmemcheck_annotate_bitfield() can be used even before the + return value of kmalloc() is checked -- in other words, passing NULL + as the first argument is legal (and will do nothing). + + +4. Reporting errors +=================== + +As we have seen, kmemcheck will produce false positive reports. Therefore, it +is not very wise to blindly post kmemcheck warnings to mailing lists and +maintainers. Instead, I encourage maintainers and developers to find errors +in their own code. If you get a warning, you can try to work around it, try +to figure out if it's a real error or not, or simply ignore it. Most +developers know their own code and will quickly and efficiently determine the +root cause of a kmemcheck report. This is therefore also the most efficient +way to work with kmemcheck. + +That said, we (the kmemcheck maintainers) will always be on the lookout for +false positives that we can annotate and silence. So whatever you find, +please drop us a note privately! Kernel configs and steps to reproduce (if +available) are of course a great help too. + +Happy hacking! + + +5. Technical description +======================== + +kmemcheck works by marking memory pages non-present. This means that whenever +somebody attempts to access the page, a page fault is generated. The page +fault handler notices that the page was in fact only hidden, and so it calls +on the kmemcheck code to make further investigations. + +When the investigations are completed, kmemcheck "shows" the page by marking +it present (as it would be under normal circumstances). This way, the +interrupted code can continue as usual. + +But after the instruction has been executed, we should hide the page again, so +that we can catch the next access too! Now kmemcheck makes use of a debugging +feature of the processor, namely single-stepping. When the processor has +finished the one instruction that generated the memory access, a debug +exception is raised. From here, we simply hide the page again and continue +execution, this time with the single-stepping feature turned off. + +kmemcheck requires some assistance from the memory allocator in order to work. +The memory allocator needs to + + 1. Tell kmemcheck about newly allocated pages and pages that are about to + be freed. This allows kmemcheck to set up and tear down the shadow memory + for the pages in question. The shadow memory stores the status of each + byte in the allocation proper, e.g. whether it is initialized or + uninitialized. + + 2. Tell kmemcheck which parts of memory should be marked uninitialized. + There are actually a few more states, such as "not yet allocated" and + "recently freed". + +If a slab cache is set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, it will never return +memory that can take page faults because of kmemcheck. + +If a slab cache is NOT set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, callers can still +request memory with the __GFP_NOTRACK or __GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flags. +This does not prevent the page faults from occurring, however, but marks the +object in question as being initialized so that no warnings will ever be +produced for this object. + +Currently, the SLAB and SLUB allocators are supported by kmemcheck. diff --git a/Documentation/kmemleak.txt b/Documentation/kmemleak.txt index 0112da3b9ab8..34f6638aa5ac 100644 --- a/Documentation/kmemleak.txt +++ b/Documentation/kmemleak.txt @@ -16,13 +16,24 @@ Usage ----- CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK in "Kernel hacking" has to be enabled.

General description + +The kvm API is a set of ioctls that are issued to control various aspects +of a virtual machine.

File descritpors + +The kvm API is centered around file descriptors. An initial +open("/dev/kvm") obtains a handle to the kvm subsystem; this handle +can be used to issue system ioctls. A KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl on this +handle will create a VM file descripror which can be used to issue VM +ioctls. A KVM_CREATE_VCPU ioctl on a VM fd will create a virtual cpu +and return a file descriptor pointing to it. Finally, ioctls on a vcpu +fd can be used to control the vcpu, including the important task of +actually running guest code. + +In general file descriptors can be migrated among processes by means +of fork() and the SCM_RIGHTS facility of unix domain socket. These +kinds of tricks are explicitly not supported by kvm. While they will +not cause harm to the host, their actual behavior is not guaranteed by +the API. The only supported use is one virtual machine per process, +and one vcpu per thread. + +3. Extensions + +As of Linux 2.6.22, the KVM ABI has been stabilized: no backward +incompatible change are allowed. However, there is an extension +facility that allows backward-compatible extensions to the API to be +queried and used. + +The extension mechanism is not based on on the Linux version number. +Instead, kvm defines extension identifiers and a facility to query +whether a particular extension identifier is available. If it is, a +set of ioctls is available for application use. + +4. API description + +This section describes ioctls that can be used to control kvm guests. +For each ioctl, the following information is provided along with a +description: + + Capability: which KVM extension provides this ioctl.

Applications should refuse to run if KVM_GET_API_VERSION +returns a value other than 12.

On the other hand, if +device_may_wakeup() returns 'true' for the device and the device is put +into a low power state during the execution of its bus type's +->runtime_suspend(), it is expected that remote wake-up (i.e. hardware mechanism +allowing the device to request a change of its power state, such as PCI PME) +will be enabled for the device. Generally, remote wake-up should be enabled +for all input devices put into a low power state at run time. + +The ->runtime_resume() callback is executed by the PM core for the bus type of +the device being woken up. The bus type's callback is then _entirely_ +_responsible_ for handling the device as appropriate, which may, but need not +include executing the device driver's own ->runtime_resume() callback (from the +PM core's point of view it is not necessary to implement a ->runtime_resume() +callback in a device driver as long as the bus type's ->runtime_resume() knows +what to do to handle the device). + + * Once the bus type's ->runtime_resume() callback has completed successfully, + the PM core regards the device as fully operational, which means that the + device _must_ be able to complete I/O operations as needed.

Run-time PM Initialization, Device Probing and Removal + +Initially, the run-time PM is disabled for all devices, which means that the +majority of the run-time PM helper funtions described in Section 4 will return +-EAGAIN until pm_runtime_enable() is called for the device. + +In addition to that, the initial run-time PM status of all devices is +'suspended', but it need not reflect the actual physical state of the device. +Thus, if the device is initially active (i.e. it is able to process I/O), its +run-time PM status must be changed to 'active', with the help of +pm_runtime_set_active(), before pm_runtime_enable() is called for the device. + +However, if the device has a parent and the parent's run-time PM is enabled, +calling pm_runtime_set_active() for the device will affect the parent, unless +the parent's 'power.ignore_children' flag is set. Namely, in that case the +parent won't be able to suspend at run time, using the PM core's helper +functions, as long as the child's status is 'active', even if the child's +run-time PM is still disabled (i.e. pm_runtime_enable() hasn't been called for +the child yet or pm_runtime_disable() has been called for it). For this reason, +once pm_runtime_set_active() has been called for the device, pm_runtime_enable() +should be called for it too as soon as reasonably possible or its run-time PM +status should be changed back to 'suspended' with the help of +pm_runtime_set_suspended(). + +If the default initial run-time PM status of the device (i.e. 'suspended') +reflects the actual state of the device, its bus type's or its driver's +->probe() callback will likely need to wake it up using one of the PM core's +helper functions described in Section 4. In that case, pm_runtime_resume() +should be used. Of course, for this purpose the device's run-time PM has to be +enabled earlier by calling pm_runtime_enable(). + +If the device bus type's or driver's ->probe() or ->remove() callback runs +pm_runtime_suspend() or pm_runtime_idle() or their asynchronous counterparts, +they will fail returning -EAGAIN, because the device's usage counter is +incremented by the core before executing ->probe() and ->remove(). Still, it +may be desirable to suspend the device as soon as ->probe() or ->remove() has +finished, so the PM core uses pm_runtime_idle_sync() to invoke the device bus +type's ->runtime_idle() callback at that time. diff --git a/Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt b/Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt index 8d999d862d0e..79f533f38c61 100644 --- a/Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt +++ b/Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt @@ -1238,1122 +1238,7 @@ descriptions for the SOC devices for which new nodes have been defined; this list will expand as more and more SOC-containing platforms are moved over to use the flattened-device-tree model. - a) PHY nodes - - Required properties: - - - device_type : Should be "ethernet-phy" - - interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a - field that represents an encoding of the sense and level - information for the interrupt.

The devices cover the whole range - of standard device types (network, serial, etc.) and miscellaneous - devices (gpio, LCD, spi, etc). Also, since these devices are - implemented within the fpga fabric every instance of the device can be - synthesised with different options that change the behaviour. - - Each IP-core has a set of parameters which the FPGA designer can use to - control how the core is synthesized. Historically, the EDK tool would - extract the device parameters relevant to device drivers and copy them - into an 'xparameters.h' in the form of #define symbols. This tells the - device drivers how the IP cores are configured, but it requres the kernel - to be recompiled every time the FPGA bitstream is resynthesized. - - The new approach is to export the parameters into the device tree and - generate a new device tree each time the FPGA bitstream changes. The - parameters which used to be exported as #defines will now become - properties of the device node. In general, device nodes for IP-cores - will take the following form: - - (name): (generic-name)@(base-address) { - compatible = "xlnx,(ip-core-name)-(HW_VER)" - [, (list of compatible devices), ...]; - reg = <(baseaddr) (size)>; - interrupt-parent = <&interrupt-controller-phandle>; - interrupts = < ... >; - xlnx,(parameter1) = "(string-value)"; - xlnx,(parameter2) = <(int-value)>; - }; - - (generic-name): an open firmware-style name that describes the - generic class of device. Preferably, this is one word, such - as 'serial' or 'ethernet'. - (ip-core-name): the name of the ip block (given after the BEGIN - directive in system.mhs). Should be in lowercase - and all underscores '_' converted to dashes '-'. - (name): is derived from the "PARAMETER INSTANCE" value. - (parameter#): C_* parameters from system.mhs. The C_ prefix is - dropped from the parameter name, the name is converted - to lowercase and all underscore '_' characters are - converted to dashes '-'. - (baseaddr): the baseaddr parameter value (often named C_BASEADDR). - (HW_VER): from the HW_VER parameter. - (size): the address range size (often C_HIGHADDR - C_BASEADDR + 1). - - Typically, the compatible list will include the exact IP core version - followed by an older IP core version which implements the same - interface or any other device with the same interface. - - 'reg', 'interrupt-parent' and 'interrupts' are all optional properties. - - For example, the following block from system.mhs: - - BEGIN opb_uartlite - PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_uartlite_0 - PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.b - PARAMETER C_BAUDRATE = 115200 - PARAMETER C_DATA_BITS = 8 - PARAMETER C_ODD_PARITY = 0 - PARAMETER C_USE_PARITY = 0 - PARAMETER C_CLK_FREQ = 50000000 - PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xEC100000 - PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xEC10FFFF - BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_7 - PORT OPB_Clk = CLK_50MHz - PORT Interrupt = opb_uartlite_0_Interrupt - PORT RX = opb_uartlite_0_RX - PORT TX = opb_uartlite_0_TX - PORT OPB_Rst = sys_bus_reset_0 - END - - becomes the following device tree node: - - opb_uartlite_0: serial@ec100000 { - device_type = "serial"; - compatible = "xlnx,opb-uartlite-1.00.b"; - reg = <ec100000 10000>; - interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>; - interrupts = <1 0>; // got this from the opb_intc parameters - current-speed = <d#115200>; // standard serial device prop - clock-frequency = <d#50000000>; // standard serial device prop - xlnx,data-bits = <8>; - xlnx,odd-parity = <0>; - xlnx,use-parity = <0>; - }; - - Some IP cores actually implement 2 or more logical devices. In - this case, the device should still describe the whole IP core with - a single node and add a child node for each logical device. The - ranges property can be used to translate from parent IP-core to the - registers of each device. In addition, the parent node should be - compatible with the bus type 'xlnx,compound', and should contain - #address-cells and #size-cells, as with any other bus. (Note: this - makes the assumption that both logical devices have the same bus - binding. If this is not true, then separate nodes should be used - for each logical device). The 'cell-index' property can be used to - enumerate logical devices within an IP core. For example, the - following is the system.mhs entry for the dual ps2 controller found - on the ml403 reference design. - - BEGIN opb_ps2_dual_ref - PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_ps2_dual_ref_0 - PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.a - PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xA9000000 - PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xA9001FFF - BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_v20_0 - PORT Sys_Intr1 = ps2_1_intr - PORT Sys_Intr2 = ps2_2_intr - PORT Clkin1 = ps2_clk_rx_1 - PORT Clkin2 = ps2_clk_rx_2 - PORT Clkpd1 = ps2_clk_tx_1 - PORT Clkpd2 = ps2_clk_tx_2 - PORT Rx1 = ps2_d_rx_1 - PORT Rx2 = ps2_d_rx_2 - PORT Txpd1 = ps2_d_tx_1 - PORT Txpd2 = ps2_d_tx_2 - END - - It would result in the following device tree nodes: - - opb_ps2_dual_ref_0: opb-ps2-dual-ref@a9000000 { - #address-cells = <1>; - #size-cells = <1>; - compatible = "xlnx,compound"; - ranges = <0 a9000000 2000>; - // If this device had extra parameters, then they would - // go here. - ps2@0 { - compatible = "xlnx,opb-ps2-dual-ref-1.00.a"; - reg = <0 40>; - interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>; - interrupts = <3 0>; - cell-index = <0>; - }; - ps2@1000 { - compatible = "xlnx,opb-ps2-dual-ref-1.00.a"; - reg = <1000 40>; - interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>; - interrupts = <3 0>; - cell-index = <0>; - }; - }; - - Also, the system.mhs file defines bus attachments from the processor - to the devices. The device tree structure should reflect the bus - attachments.

The following are bindings for specific devices: - - i) Xilinx ML300 Framebuffer - - Simple framebuffer device from the ML300 reference design (also on the - ML403 reference design as well as others). - - Optional properties: - - resolution = <xres yres> : pixel resolution of framebuffer. Some - implementations use a different resolution. - Default is <d#640 d#480> - - virt-resolution = <xvirt yvirt> : Size of framebuffer in memory. - Default is <d#1024 d#480>. - - rotate-display (empty) : rotate display 180 degrees. - - ii) Xilinx SystemACE - - The Xilinx SystemACE device is used to program FPGAs from an FPGA - bitstream stored on a CF card. It can also be used as a generic CF - interface device. - - Optional properties: - - 8-bit (empty) : Set this property for SystemACE in 8 bit mode - - iii) Xilinx EMAC and Xilinx TEMAC - - Xilinx Ethernet devices. In addition to general xilinx properties - listed above, nodes for these devices should include a phy-handle - property, and may include other common network device properties - like local-mac-address. - - iv) Xilinx Uartlite - - Xilinx uartlite devices are simple fixed speed serial ports. - - Required properties: - - current-speed : Baud rate of uartlite - - v) Xilinx hwicap - - Xilinx hwicap devices provide access to the configuration logic - of the FPGA through the Internal Configuration Access Port - (ICAP). The ICAP enables partial reconfiguration of the FPGA, - readback of the configuration information, and some control over - 'warm boots' of the FPGA fabric. - - Required properties: - - xlnx,family : The family of the FPGA, necessary since the - capabilities of the underlying ICAP hardware - differ between different families. May be - 'virtex2p', 'virtex4', or 'virtex5'. - - vi) Xilinx Uart 16550 - - Xilinx UART 16550 devices are very similar to the NS16550 but with - different register spacing and an offset from the base address. - - Required properties: - - clock-frequency : Frequency of the clock input - - reg-offset : A value of 3 is required - - reg-shift : A value of 2 is required - - e) USB EHCI controllers - - Required properties: - - compatible : should be "usb-ehci". - - reg : should contain at least address and length of the standard EHCI - register set for the device. Optional platform-dependent registers - (debug-port or other) can be also specified here, but only after - definition of standard EHCI registers. - - interrupts : one EHCI interrupt should be described here. - If device registers are implemented in big endian mode, the device - node should have "big-endian-regs" property. - If controller implementation operates with big endian descriptors, - "big-endian-desc" property should be specified. - If both big endian registers and descriptors are used by the controller - implementation, "big-endian" property can be specified instead of having - both "big-endian-regs" and "big-endian-desc". - - Example (Sequoia 440EPx): - ehci@e0000300 { - compatible = "ibm,usb-ehci-440epx", "usb-ehci"; - interrupt-parent = <&UIC0>; - interrupts = <1a 4>; - reg = <0 e0000300 90 0 e0000390 70>; - big-endian; - }; - - f) MDIO on GPIOs - - Currently defined compatibles: - - virtual,gpio-mdio - - MDC and MDIO lines connected to GPIO controllers are listed in the - gpios property as described in section VIII.1 in the following order: - - MDC, MDIO. - - Example: - - mdio { - compatible = "virtual,mdio-gpio"; - #address-cells = <1>; - #size-cells = <0>; - gpios = <&qe_pio_a 11 - &qe_pio_c 6>; - }; - - g) SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) busses - - SPI busses can be described with a node for the SPI master device - and a set of child nodes for each SPI slave on the bus. For this - discussion, it is assumed that the system's SPI controller is in - SPI master mode. This binding does not describe SPI controllers - in slave mode. - - The SPI master node requires the following properties: - - #address-cells - number of cells required to define a chip select - address on the SPI bus. - - #size-cells - should be zero. - - compatible - name of SPI bus controller following generic names - recommended practice. - No other properties are required in the SPI bus node. It is assumed - that a driver for an SPI bus device will understand that it is an SPI bus. - However, the binding does not attempt to define the specific method for - assigning chip select numbers. Since SPI chip select configuration is - flexible and non-standardized, it is left out of this binding with the - assumption that board specific platform code will be used to manage - chip selects.

In this section, we define device tree nodes to describe -the system controller chip itself and each of the peripherals -which it contains. Compatible string values for each node are -prefixed with the string "marvell,", for Marvell Technology Group Ltd. - -1) The /system-controller node - - This node is used to represent the system-controller and must be - present when the system uses a system controller chip. The top-level - system-controller node contains information that is global to all - devices within the system controller chip. The node name begins - with "system-controller" followed by the unit address, which is - the base address of the memory-mapped register set for the system - controller chip. - - Required properties: - - - ranges : Describes the translation of system controller addresses - for memory mapped registers. - - clock-frequency: Contains the main clock frequency for the system - controller chip. - - reg : This property defines the address and size of the - memory-mapped registers contained within the system controller - chip. The address specified in the "reg" property should match - the unit address of the system-controller node. - - #address-cells : Address representation for system controller - devices. This field represents the number of cells needed to - represent the address of the memory-mapped registers of devices - within the system controller chip. - - #size-cells : Size representation for for the memory-mapped - registers within the system controller chip. - - #interrupt-cells : Defines the width of cells used to represent - interrupts. - - Optional properties: - - - model : The specific model of the system controller chip. Such - as, "mv64360", "mv64460", or "mv64560". - - compatible : A string identifying the compatibility identifiers - of the system controller chip. - - The system-controller node contains child nodes for each system - controller device that the platform uses. Nodes should not be created - for devices which exist on the system controller chip but are not used - - Example Marvell Discovery mv64360 system-controller node: - - system-controller@f1000000 { /* Marvell Discovery mv64360 */ - #address-cells = <1>; - #size-cells = <1>; - model = "mv64360"; /* Default */ - compatible = "marvell,mv64360"; - clock-frequency = <133333333>; - reg = <0xf1000000 0x10000>; - virtual-reg = <0xf1000000>; - ranges = <0x88000000 0x88000000 0x1000000 /* PCI 0 I/O Space */ - 0x80000000 0x80000000 0x8000000 /* PCI 0 MEM Space */ - 0xa0000000 0xa0000000 0x4000000 /* User FLASH */ - 0x00000000 0xf1000000 0x0010000 /* Bridge's regs */ - 0xf2000000 0xf2000000 0x0040000>;/* Integrated SRAM */ - - [ child node definitions... ] - } - -2) Child nodes of /system-controller - - a) Marvell Discovery MDIO bus - - The MDIO is a bus to which the PHY devices are connected.

The first level describes an ethernet silicon block - and the second level describes up to 3 ethernet nodes within - that block.

This assumption is +ok for the serial and parallel port, where you can do something +useful besides(!) the gathering of timestamps as it is the central +task for a PPS-API. But this assumption does not work for a single +purpose GPIO line. In this case even basic file-related functionality +(like read() and write()) makes no sense at all and should not be a +precondition for the use of a PPS-API. + +The problem can be simply solved if you consider that a PPS source is +not always connected with a GPS data source. + +So your programs should check if the GPS data source (the serial port +for instance) is a PPS source too, and if not they should provide the +possibility to open another device as PPS source. + +In LinuxPPS the PPS sources are simply char devices usually mapped +into files /dev/pps0, /dev/pps1, etc.. + + +Coding example +-------------- + +To register a PPS source into the kernel you should define a struct +pps_source_info_s as follows: + + static struct pps_source_info pps_ktimer_info = { + .name = "ktimer", + .path = "", + .mode = PPS_CAPTUREASSERT | PPS_OFFSETASSERT | \ + PPS_ECHOASSERT | \ + PPS_CANWAIT | PPS_TSFMT_TSPEC, + .echo = pps_ktimer_echo, + .owner = THIS_MODULE, + }; + +and then calling the function pps_register_source() in your +intialization routine as follows: + + source = pps_register_source(&pps_ktimer_info, + PPS_CAPTUREASSERT | PPS_OFFSETASSERT); + +The pps_register_source() prototype is: + + int pps_register_source(struct pps_source_info_s *info, int default_params) + +where "info" is a pointer to a structure that describes a particular +PPS source, "default_params" tells the system what the initial default +parameters for the device should be (it is obvious that these parameters +must be a subset of ones defined in the struct +pps_source_info_s which describe the capabilities of the driver). + +Once you have registered a new PPS source into the system you can +signal an assert event (for example in the interrupt handler routine) +just using: + + pps_event(source, &ts, PPS_CAPTUREASSERT, ptr) + +where "ts" is the event's timestamp. + +The same function may also run the defined echo function +(pps_ktimer_echo(), passing to it the "ptr" pointer) if the user +asked for that... etc.. + +Please see the file drivers/pps/clients/ktimer.c for example code. + + +SYSFS support +------------- + +If the SYSFS filesystem is enabled in the kernel it provides a new class: + + $ ls /sys/class/pps/ + pps0/ pps1/ pps2/ + +Every directory is the ID of a PPS sources defined in the system and +inside you find several files: + + $ ls /sys/class/pps/pps0/ + assert clear echo mode name path subsystem@ uevent + +Inside each "assert" and "clear" file you can find the timestamp and a +sequence number: + + $ cat /sys/class/pps/pps0/assert + 1170026870.983207967#8 + +Where before the "#" is the timestamp in seconds; after it is the +sequence number.

Event formats +================ + +Each trace event has a 'format' file associated with it that contains +a description of each field in a logged event. This information can +be used to parse the binary trace stream, and is also the place to +find the field names that can be used in event filters (see section 5). + +It also displays the format string that will be used to print the +event in text mode, along with the event name and ID used for +profiling. + +Every event has a set of 'common' fields associated with it; these are +the fields prefixed with 'common_'. The other fields vary between +events and correspond to the fields defined in the TRACE_EVENT +definition for that event. + +Each field in the format has the form: + + field:field-type field-name; offset:N; size:N; + +where offset is the offset of the field in the trace record and size +is the size of the data item, in bytes. + +For example, here's the information displayed for the 'sched_wakeup' +event: + +# cat /debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/format + +name: sched_wakeup +ID: 60 +format: + field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; + field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; + field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; + field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; + field:int common_tgid; offset:8; size:4; + + field:char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; offset:12; size:16; + field:pid_t pid; offset:28; size:4; + field:int prio; offset:32; size:4; + field:int success; offset:36; size:4; + field:int cpu; offset:40; size:4; + +print fmt: "task %s:%d [%d] success=%d [%03d]", REC->comm, REC->pid, + REC->prio, REC->success, REC->cpu + +This event contains 10 fields, the first 5 common and the remaining 5 +event-specific. All the fields for this event are numeric, except for +'comm' which is a string, a distinction important for event filtering. + +5. Event filtering +================== + +Trace events can be filtered in the kernel by associating boolean +'filter expressions' with them. As soon as an event is logged into +the trace buffer, its fields are checked against the filter expression +associated with that event type. An event with field values that +'match' the filter will appear in the trace output, and an event whose +values don't match will be discarded. An event with no filter +associated with it matches everything, and is the default when no +filter has been set for an event. + +5.1 Expression syntax +--------------------- + +A filter expression consists of one or more 'predicates' that can be +combined using the logical operators '&&' and '||'. A predicate is +simply a clause that compares the value of a field contained within a +logged event with a constant value and returns either 0 or 1 depending +on whether the field value matched (1) or didn't match (0): + + field-name relational-operator value + +Parentheses can be used to provide arbitrary logical groupings and +double-quotes can be used to prevent the shell from interpreting +operators as shell metacharacters. + +The field-names available for use in filters can be found in the +'format' files for trace events (see section 4). + +The relational-operators depend on the type of the field being tested: + +The operators available for numeric fields are: + +==, !=, <, <=, >, >= + +And for string fields they are: + +==, != + +Currently, only exact string matches are supported. + +Currently, the maximum number of predicates in a filter is 16. + +5.2 Setting filters +------------------- + +A filter for an individual event is set by writing a filter expression +to the 'filter' file for the given event. + +For example: + +# cd /debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup +# echo "common_preempt_count > 4" > filter + +A slightly more involved example: + +# cd /debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_signal_send +# echo "((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || sig == 17) && comm != bash" > filter + +If there is an error in the expression, you'll get an 'Invalid +argument' error when setting it, and the erroneous string along with +an error message can be seen by looking at the filter e.g.: + +# cd /debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_signal_send +# echo "((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || dsig == 17) && comm != bash" > filter +-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument +# cat filter +((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || dsig == 17) && comm != bash +^ +parse_error: Field not found + +Currently the caret ('^') for an error always appears at the beginning of +the filter string; the error message should still be useful though +even without more accurate position info. + +5.3 Clearing filters +-------------------- + +To clear the filter for an event, write a '0' to the event's filter +file. + +To clear the filters for all events in a subsystem, write a '0' to the +subsystem's filter file. + +5.3 Subsystem filters +--------------------- + +For convenience, filters for every event in a subsystem can be set or +cleared as a group by writing a filter expression into the filter file +at the root of the subsytem. Note however, that if a filter for any +event within the subsystem lacks a field specified in the subsystem +filter, or if the filter can't be applied for any other reason, the +filter for that event will retain its previous setting.

We cannot help you in this regard, +sorry. Dig up some old documentation and/or find someone more familiar than +you to bang ideas off of. Typically, register usage (argument/scratch/etc...) +is a major issue at this point, especially in relation to the location of the +mcount call (before/after function prologue). You might also want to look at +how glibc has implemented the mcount function for your architecture. It might +be (semi-)relevant. + +The mcount function should check the function pointer ftrace_trace_function +to see if it is set to ftrace_stub. If it is, there is nothing for you to do, +so return immediately. If it isn't, then call that function in the same way +the mcount function normally calls __mcount_internal -- the first argument is +the "frompc" while the second argument is the "selfpc" (adjusted to remove the +size of the mcount call that is embedded in the function). + +For example, if the function foo() calls bar(), when the bar() function calls +mcount(), the arguments mcount() will pass to the tracer are: + "frompc" - the address bar() will use to return to foo() + "selfpc" - the address bar() (with _mcount() size adjustment) + +Also keep in mind that this mcount function will be called *a lot*, so +optimizing for the default case of no tracer will help the smooth running of +your system when tracing is disabled. So the start of the mcount function is +typically the bare min with checking things before returning. That also means +the code flow should usually kept linear (i.e. no branching in the nop case). +This is of course an optimization and not a hard requirement. + +Here is some pseudo code that should help (these functions should actually be +implemented in assembly): + +void ftrace_stub(void) +{ + return; +} + +void mcount(void) +{ + /* save any bare state needed in order to do initial checking */ + + extern void (*ftrace_trace_function)(unsigned long, unsigned long); + if (ftrace_trace_function != ftrace_stub) + goto do_trace; + + /* restore any bare state */ + + return; + +do_trace: + + /* save all state needed by the ABI (see paragraph above) */ + + unsigned long frompc = ...; + unsigned long selfpc = <return address> - MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE; + ftrace_trace_function(frompc, selfpc); + + /* restore all state needed by the ABI */ +} + +Don't forget to export mcount for modules ! +extern void mcount(void); +EXPORT_SYMBOL(mcount); + + +HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST +------------------------------- + +This is an optional optimization for the normal case when tracing is turned off +in the system.

Here you will need to update the +mcount function to check ftrace graph function pointers, as well as implement +some functions to save (hijack) and restore the return address. + +The mcount function should check the function pointers ftrace_graph_return +(compare to ftrace_stub) and ftrace_graph_entry (compare to +ftrace_graph_entry_stub). If either of those are not set to the relevant stub +function, call the arch-specific function ftrace_graph_caller which in turn +calls the arch-specific function prepare_ftrace_return. Neither of these +function names are strictly required, but you should use them anyways to stay +consistent across the architecture ports -- easier to compare & contrast +things. + +The arguments to prepare_ftrace_return are slightly different than what are +passed to ftrace_trace_function. The second argument "selfpc" is the same, +but the first argument should be a pointer to the "frompc". Typically this is +located on the stack. This allows the function to hijack the return address +temporarily to have it point to the arch-specific function return_to_handler. +That function will simply call the common ftrace_return_to_handler function and +that will return the original return address with which, you can return to the +original call site. + +Here is the updated mcount pseudo code: +void mcount(void) +{ +... + if (ftrace_trace_function != ftrace_stub) + goto do_trace; + ++#ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER ++ extern void (*ftrace_graph_return)(...); ++ extern void (*ftrace_graph_entry)(...); ++ if (ftrace_graph_return != ftrace_stub || ++ ftrace_graph_entry != ftrace_graph_entry_stub) ++ ftrace_graph_caller(); ++#endif + + /* restore any bare state */ +... + +Here is the pseudo code for the new ftrace_graph_caller assembly function: +#ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER +void ftrace_graph_caller(void) +{ + /* save all state needed by the ABI */ + + unsigned long *frompc = &...; + unsigned long selfpc = <return address> - MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE; + prepare_ftrace_return(frompc, selfpc); + + /* restore all state needed by the ABI */ +} +#endif + +For information on how to implement prepare_ftrace_return(), simply look at +the x86 version.

But the writers will never take a lock to write to the +ring buffer. This means we only need to worry about a single reader, +and writes only preempt in "stack" formation. + +When the reader tries to swap the page with the ring buffer, it +will also use cmpxchg.

The way this is done is that the writer +performs a cmpxchg to convert the pointer to the head page from the HEADER +flag to have the UPDATE flag set. Once this is done, the reader will +not be able to swap the head page from the buffer, nor will it be able to +move the head page, until the writer is finished with the move. + +This eliminates any races that the reader can have on the writer.

Now for the more complex scenarios. + + +As stated before, if enough writes preempt the first write, the +tail page may make it all the way around the buffer and meet the commit +page. At this time, we must start dropping writes (usually with some kind +of warning to the user). But what happens if the commit was still on the +reader page?

If it is, then it can be assumed that the +tail page wrapped the buffer, and we must drop new writes. + +This is not a race condition, because the commit page can only be moved +by the outter most writer (the writer that was preempted). +This means that the commit will not move while a writer is moving the +tail page. The reader can not swap the reader page if it is also being +used as the commit page. The reader can simply check that the commit +is off the reader page. Once the commit page leaves the reader page +it will never go back on it unless a reader does another swap with the +buffer page that is also the commit page. + + +Nested writes +------------- + +In the pushing forward of the tail page we must first push forward +the head page if the head page is the next page.

While most +modern devices allow relocation of such ranges, some "Legacy" VGA devices +implemented on PCI will typically have the same "hard-decoded" addresses as +they did on ISA. For more details see "PCI Bus Binding to IEEE Std 1275-1994 +Standard for Boot (Initialization Configuration) Firmware Revision 2.1" +Section 7, Legacy Devices. + +The Resource Access Control (RAC) module inside the X server [0] existed for +the legacy VGA arbitration task (besides other bus management tasks) when more +than one legacy device co-exists on the same machine. But the problem happens +when these devices are trying to be accessed by different userspace clients +(e.g. two server in parallel). Their address assignments conflict. Moreover, +ideally, being an userspace application, it is not the role of the the X +server to control bus resources. Therefore an arbitration scheme outside of +the X server is needed to control the sharing of these resources.

Details and Theory of Operation +================================== + +I.1 vgaarb +---------- + +The vgaarb is a module of the Linux Kernel. When it is initially loaded, it +scans all PCI devices and adds the VGA ones inside the arbitration. The +arbiter then enables/disables the decoding on different devices of the VGA +legacy instructions. Device which do not want/need to use the arbiter may +explicitly tell it by calling vga_set_legacy_decoding(). + +The kernel exports a char device interface (/dev/vga_arbiter) to the clients, +which has the following semantics: + + open : open user instance of the arbiter. By default, it's attached to + the default VGA device of the system. + + close : close user instance. Release locks made by the user + + read : return a string indicating the status of the target like: + + "<card_ID>,decodes=<io_state>,owns=<io_state>,locks=<io_state> (ic,mc)" + + An IO state string is of the form {io,mem,io+mem,none}, mc and + ic are respectively mem and io lock counts (for debugging/ + diagnostic only). "decodes" indicate what the card currently + decodes, "owns" indicates what is currently enabled on it, and + "locks" indicates what is locked by this card. If the card is + unplugged, we get "invalid" then for card_ID and an -ENODEV + error is returned for any command until a new card is targeted. + + + write : write a command to the arbiter. List of commands: + + target <card_ID> : switch target to card <card_ID> (see below) + lock <io_state> : acquires locks on target ("none" is an invalid io_state) + trylock <io_state> : non-blocking acquire locks on target (returns EBUSY if + unsuccessful) + unlock <io_state> : release locks on target + unlock all : release all locks on target held by this user (not + implemented yet) + decodes <io_state> : set the legacy decoding attributes for the card + + poll : event if something changes on any card (not just the + target) + + card_ID is of the form "PCI:domain:bus:dev.fn". It can be set to "default" + to go back to the system default card (TODO: not implemented yet). Currently, + only PCI is supported as a prefix, but the userland API may support other bus + types in the future, even if the current kernel implementation doesn't. + +Note about locks: + +The driver keeps track of which user has which locks on which card. It +supports stacking, like the kernel one. This complexifies the implementation +a bit, but makes the arbiter more tolerant to user space problems and able +to properly cleanup in all cases when a process dies. +Currently, a max of 16 cards can have locks simultaneously issued from +user space for a given user (file descriptor instance) of the arbiter. + +In the case of devices hot-{un,}plugged, there is a hook - pci_notify() - to +notify them being added/removed in the system and automatically added/removed +in the arbiter. + +There's also a in-kernel API of the arbiter in the case of DRM, vgacon and +others which may use the arbiter. + + +I.2 libpciaccess +---------------- + +To use the vga arbiter char device it was implemented an API inside the +libpciaccess library. One fieldd was added to struct pci_device (each device +on the system): + + /* the type of resource decoded by the device */ + int vgaarb_rsrc; + +Besides it, in pci_system were added: + + int vgaarb_fd; + int vga_count; + struct pci_device *vga_target; + struct pci_device *vga_default_dev; + + +The vga_count is usually need to keep informed how many cards are being +arbitrated, so for instance if there's only one then it can totally escape the +scheme. + + +These functions below acquire VGA resources for the given card and mark those +resources as locked. If the resources requested are "normal" (and not legacy) +resources, the arbiter will first check whether the card is doing legacy +decoding for that type of resource. If yes, the lock is "converted" into a +legacy resource lock. The arbiter will first look for all VGA cards that +might conflict and disable their IOs and/or Memory access, including VGA +forwarding on P2P bridges if necessary, so that the requested resources can +be used. Then, the card is marked as locking these resources and the IO and/or +Memory access is enabled on the card (including VGA forwarding on parent +P2P bridges if any). In the case of vga_arb_lock(), the function will block +if some conflicting card is already locking one of the required resources (or +any resource on a different bus segment, since P2P bridges don't differentiate +VGA memory and IO afaik). If the card already owns the resources, the function +succeeds. vga_arb_trylock() will return (-EBUSY) instead of blocking. Nested +calls are supported (a per-resource counter is maintained). + + +Set the target device of this client. + int pci_device_vgaarb_set_target (struct pci_device *dev); + + +For instance, in x86 if two devices on the same bus want to lock different +resources, both will succeed (lock). If devices are in different buses and +trying to lock different resources, only the first who tried succeeds. + int pci_device_vgaarb_lock (void); + int pci_device_vgaarb_trylock (void); + +Unlock resources of device. + int pci_device_vgaarb_unlock (void); + +Indicates to the arbiter if the card decodes legacy VGA IOs, legacy VGA +Memory, both, or none.

Nokia Corporation +Contact: Eduardo Valentin <eduardo.valentin@nokia.com> + + +Information about the Device +============================ +This chip is a Silicon Labs product. It is a I2C device, currently on 0x63 address. +Basically, it has transmission and signal noise level measurement features. + +The Si4713 integrates transmit functions for FM broadcast stereo transmission. +The chip also allows integrated receive power scanning to identify low signal +power FM channels. + +The chip is programmed using commands and responses. There are also several +properties which can change the behavior of this chip. + +Users must comply with local regulations on radio frequency (RF) transmission. + +Device driver description +========================= +There are two modules to handle this device. One is a I2C device driver +and the other is a platform driver. + +The I2C device driver exports a v4l2-subdev interface to the kernel. +All properties can also be accessed by v4l2 extended controls interface, by +using the v4l2-subdev calls (g_ext_ctrls, s_ext_ctrls). + +The platform device driver exports a v4l2 radio device interface to user land. +So, it uses the I2C device driver as a sub device in order to send the user +commands to the actual device. Basically it is a wrapper to the I2C device driver. + +Applications can use v4l2 radio API to specify frequency of operation, mute state, +etc. But mostly of its properties will be present in the extended controls. + +When the v4l2 mute property is set to 1 (true), the driver will turn the chip off. + +Properties description +====================== + +The properties can be accessed using v4l2 extended controls. +Here is an output from v4l2-ctl util: +/ # v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio0 --all -L +Driver Info: + Driver name : radio-si4713 + Card type : Silicon Labs Si4713 Modulator + Bus info : + Driver version: 0 + Capabilities : 0x00080800 + RDS Output + Modulator +Audio output: 0 (FM Modulator Audio Out) +Frequency: 1408000 (88.000000 MHz) +Video Standard = 0x00000000 +Modulator: + Name : FM Modulator + Capabilities : 62.5 Hz stereo rds + Frequency range : 76.0 MHz - 108.0 MHz + Subchannel modulation: stereo+rds + +User Controls + + mute (bool) : default=1 value=0 + +FM Radio Modulator Controls + + rds_signal_deviation (int) : min=0 max=90000 step=10 default=200 value=200 flags=slider + rds_program_id (int) : min=0 max=65535 step=1 default=0 value=0 + rds_program_type (int) : min=0 max=31 step=1 default=0 value=0 + rds_ps_name (str) : min=0 max=96 step=8 value='si4713 ' + rds_radio_text (str) : min=0 max=384 step=32 value='' + audio_limiter_feature_enabled (bool) : default=1 value=1 + audio_limiter_release_time (int) : min=250 max=102390 step=50 default=5010 value=5010 flags=slider + audio_limiter_deviation (int) : min=0 max=90000 step=10 default=66250 value=66250 flags=slider +audio_compression_feature_enabl (bool) : default=1 value=1 + audio_compression_gain (int) : min=0 max=20 step=1 default=15 value=15 flags=slider + audio_compression_threshold (int) : min=-40 max=0 step=1 default=-40 value=-40 flags=slider + audio_compression_attack_time (int) : min=0 max=5000 step=500 default=0 value=0 flags=slider + audio_compression_release_time (int) : min=100000 max=1000000 step=100000 default=1000000 value=1000000 flags=slider + pilot_tone_feature_enabled (bool) : default=1 value=1 + pilot_tone_deviation (int) : min=0 max=90000 step=10 default=6750 value=6750 flags=slider + pilot_tone_frequency (int) : min=0 max=19000 step=1 default=19000 value=19000 flags=slider + pre_emphasis_settings (menu) : min=0 max=2 default=1 value=1 + tune_power_level (int) : min=0 max=120 step=1 default=88 value=88 flags=slider + tune_antenna_capacitor (int) : min=0 max=191 step=1 default=0 value=110 flags=slider +/ # + +Here is a summary of them: + +* Pilot is an audible tone sent by the device. + +pilot_frequency - Configures the frequency of the stereo pilot tone. +pilot_deviation - Configures pilot tone frequency deviation level. +pilot_enabled - Enables or disables the pilot tone feature. + +* The si4713 device is capable of applying audio compression to the transmitted signal. + +acomp_enabled - Enables or disables the audio dynamic range control feature. +acomp_gain - Sets the gain for audio dynamic range control. +acomp_threshold - Sets the threshold level for audio dynamic range control. +acomp_attack_time - Sets the attack time for audio dynamic range control. +acomp_release_time - Sets the release time for audio dynamic range control. + +* Limiter setups audio deviation limiter feature.
