+Description:
+ EVM protects a file's security extended attributes(xattrs)
+ against integrity attacks. The initial method maintains an
+ HMAC-sha1 value across the extended attributes, storing the
+ value as the extended attribute 'security.evm'.
+
+ EVM depends on the Kernel Key Retention System to provide it
+ with a trusted/encrypted key for the HMAC-sha1 operation.
+ The key is loaded onto the root's keyring using keyctl. Until
+ EVM receives notification that the key has been successfully
+ loaded onto the keyring (echo 1 > <securityfs>/evm), EVM
+ can not create or validate the 'security.evm' xattr, but
+ returns INTEGRITY_UNKNOWN. Loading the key and signaling EVM
+ should be done as early as possible. Normally this is done
+ in the initramfs, which has already been measured as part
+ of the trusted boot. For more information on creating and
+ loading existing trusted/encrypted keys, refer to:
+ Documentation/keys-trusted-encrypted.txt. (A sample dracut
+ patch, which loads the trusted/encrypted key and enables
+ EVM, is available from http://linux-ima.sourceforge.net/#EVM.)

+Contact: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
+Description:
+ PCI-based EHCI USB controllers (i.e., high-speed USB-2.0
+ controllers) are often implemented along with a set of
+ "companion" full/low-speed USB-1.1 controllers. When a
+ high-speed device is plugged in, the connection is routed
+ to the EHCI controller; when a full- or low-speed device
+ is plugged in, the connection is routed to the companion
+ controller.
+
+ Sometimes you want to force a high-speed device to connect
+ at full speed, which can be accomplished by forcing the
+ connection to be routed to the companion controller.
+ That's what this file does. Writing a port number to the
+ file causes connections on that port to be routed to the
+ companion controller, and writing the negative of a port
+ number returns the port to normal operation.
+
+ For example: To force the high-speed device attached to
+ port 4 on bus 2 to run at full speed:
+
+ echo 4 >/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/../companion
+
+ To return the port to high-speed operation:
+
+ echo -4 >/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/../companion
+
+ Reading the file gives the list of ports currently forced
+ to the companion controller.
+
+ Note: Some EHCI controllers do not have companions; they
+ may contain an internal "transaction translator" or they
+ may be attached directly to a "rate-matching hub". This
+ mechanism will not work with such controllers. Also, it
+ cannot be used to force a port on a high-speed hub to
+ connect at full speed.
+
+ Note: When this file was first added, it appeared in a
+ different sysfs directory. The location given above is
+ correct for 2.6.35 (and probably several earlier kernel
+ versions as well).

+ <para>These are two-plane versions of the YUV 4:4:4 format. The three

+ first, with each Y sample stored in one byte per pixel. For
+ <constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV24</constant>, a combined CbCr plane
+ immediately follows the Y plane in memory. The CbCr plane has the same
+ width and height, in pixels, as the Y plane (and the image). Each line
+ contains one CbCr pair per pixel, with each Cb and Cr sample stored in
+ one byte. <constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV42</constant> is the same except that
+ the Cb and Cr samples are swapped, the CrCb plane starts with a Cr
+ sample.</para>
+
+ <para>If the Y plane has pad bytes after each row, then the CbCr plane

+<para>Video hardware can have various cropping, composing and scaling

+cropping/composing rectangles may have to be aligned, and both the source and
+the sink may have arbitrary upper and lower size limits. Therefore, as usual,

+
+<para>The range of coordinates of the top left corner, width and height of

+</constant> target. It uses the same coordinate system as <constant>
+V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP_BOUNDS </constant>. The active cropping area must lie
+completely inside the capture boundaries. The driver may further adjust the

+
+<para>Each capture device has a default source rectangle, given by the

+
+<para>The composing targets refer to a memory buffer. The limits of composing

+
+<para>For output devices targets and ioctls are used similarly to the video

+Driver developers are encouraged to keep padded rectangle equal to active one.
+The padded target is accessed by the <constant> V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE_PADDED

+
+ <title>Scaling control.</title>
+
+<para>An application can detect if scaling is performed by comparing the width
+and the height of rectangles obtained using <constant> V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP_ACTIVE
+</constant> and <constant> V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE_ACTIVE </constant> targets. If

+
+ <section>
+
+ <title>Comparison with old cropping API.</title>
+
+<para>The selection API was introduced to cope with deficiencies of previous
+<link linkend="crop"> API </link>, that was designed to control simple capture
+devices. Later the cropping API was adopted by video output drivers. The ioctls
+are used to select a part of the display were the video signal is inserted. It
+should be considered as an API abuse because the described operation is
+actually the composing. The selection API makes a clear distinction between
+composing and cropping operations by setting the appropriate targets. The V4L2
+API lacks any support for composing to and cropping from an image inside a
+memory buffer. The application could configure a capture device to fill only a
+part of an image by abusing V4L2 API. Cropping a smaller image from a larger
+one is achieved by setting the field <structfield>
+&v4l2-pix-format;::bytesperline </structfield>. Introducing an image offsets
+could be done by modifying field <structfield> &v4l2-buffer;::m:userptr
+</structfield> before calling <constant> VIDIOC_QBUF </constant>. Those
+operations should be avoided because they are not portable (endianness), and do
+not work for macroblock and Bayer formats and mmap buffers. The selection API
+deals with configuration of buffer cropping/composing in a clear, intuitive and
+portable way. Next, with the selection API the concepts of the padded target
+and constraints flags are introduced. Finally, <structname> &v4l2-crop;
+</structname> and <structname> &v4l2-cropcap; </structname> have no reserved
+fields. Therefore there is no way to extend their functionality. The new
+<structname> &v4l2-selection; </structname> provides a lot of place for future
+extensions. Driver developers are encouraged to implement only selection API.
+The former cropping API would be simulated using the new one. </para>

+I/O. It can be used as an alternative or in addition to the
+<constant>VIDIOC_REQBUFS</constant> ioctl, when a tighter control over buffers
+is required. This ioctl can be called multiple times to create buffers of
+different sizes.</para>
+
+ <para>To allocate device buffers applications initialize relevant fields of
+the <structname>v4l2_create_buffers</structname> structure. They set the
+<structfield>type</structfield> field in the
+<structname>v4l2_format</structname> structure, embedded in this
+structure, to the respective stream or buffer type.
+<structfield>count</structfield> must be set to the number of required buffers.
+<structfield>memory</structfield> specifies the required I/O method. The
+<structfield>format</structfield> field shall typically be filled in using
+either the <constant>VIDIOC_TRY_FMT</constant> or
+<constant>VIDIOC_G_FMT</constant> ioctl(). Additionally, applications can adjust
+<structfield>sizeimage</structfield> fields to fit their specific needs. The
+<structfield>reserved</structfield> array must be zeroed.</para>
+
+ <para>When the ioctl is called with a pointer to this structure the driver
+will attempt to allocate up to the requested number of buffers and store the
+actual number allocated and the starting index in the
+<structfield>count</structfield> and the <structfield>index</structfield> fields
+respectively. On return <structfield>count</structfield> can be smaller than
+the number requested. The driver may also increase buffer sizes if required,
+however, it will not update <structfield>sizeimage</structfield> field values.
+The user has to use <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYBUF</constant> to retrieve that
+information.</para>

+Lockdep-RCU was added to the Linux kernel in early 2010
+(http://lwn.net/Articles/371986/). This facility checks for some common
+misuses of the RCU API, most notably using one of the rcu_dereference()
+family to access an RCU-protected pointer without the proper protection.
+When such misuse is detected, an lockdep-RCU splat is emitted.
+
+The usual cause of a lockdep-RCU slat is someone accessing an
+RCU-protected data structure without either (1) being in the right kind of
+RCU read-side critical section or (2) holding the right update-side lock.
+This problem can therefore be serious: it might result in random memory
+overwriting or worse. There can of course be false positives, this
+being the real world and all that.
+

+has long since been fixed:

+Line 2776 of block/cfq-iosched.c in v3.0-rc5 is as follows:
+
+ if (rcu_dereference(ioc->ioc_data) == cic) {
+
+This form says that it must be in a plain vanilla RCU read-side critical
+section, but the "other info" list above shows that this is not the
+case. Instead, we hold three locks, one of which might be RCU related.
+And maybe that lock really does protect this reference. If so, the fix
+is to inform RCU, perhaps by changing __cfq_exit_single_io_context() to
+take the struct request_queue "q" from cfq_exit_queue() as an argument,
+which would permit us to invoke rcu_dereference_protected as follows:
+
+ if (rcu_dereference_protected(ioc->ioc_data,
+ lockdep_is_held(&q->queue_lock)) == cic) {
+
+With this change, there would be no lockdep-RCU splat emitted if this
+code was invoked either from within an RCU read-side critical section
+or with the ->queue_lock held. In particular, this would have suppressed
+the above lockdep-RCU splat because ->queue_lock is held (see #2 in the
+list above).
+
+On the other hand, perhaps we really do need an RCU read-side critical
+section. In this case, the critical section must span the use of the
+return value from rcu_dereference(), or at least until there is some
+reference count incremented or some such. One way to handle this is to
+add rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() as follows:
+
+ rcu_read_lock();
+ if (rcu_dereference(ioc->ioc_data) == cic) {
+ spin_lock(&ioc->lock);
+ rcu_assign_pointer(ioc->ioc_data, NULL);
+ spin_unlock(&ioc->lock);
+ }
+ rcu_read_unlock();
+
+With this change, the rcu_dereference() is always within an RCU
+read-side critical section, which again would have suppressed the
+above lockdep-RCU splat.
+
+But in this particular case, we don't actually deference the pointer
+returned from rcu_dereference(). Instead, that pointer is just compared
+to the cic pointer, which means that the rcu_dereference() can be replaced
+by rcu_access_pointer() as follows:
+
+ if (rcu_access_pointer(ioc->ioc_data) == cic) {
+
+Because it is legal to invoke rcu_access_pointer() without protection,
+this change would also suppress the above lockdep-RCU splat.

*** YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! ***
+Properly aligned pointers, longs, ints, and chars (and unsigned
+equivalents) may be atomically loaded from and stored to in the same
+sense as described for atomic_read() and atomic_set(). The ACCESS_ONCE()
+macro should be used to prevent the compiler from using optimizations
+that might otherwise optimize accesses out of existence on the one hand,
+or that might create unsolicited accesses on the other.
+
+For example consider the following code:
+
+ while (a > 0)
+ do_something();
+
+If the compiler can prove that do_something() does not store to the
+variable a, then the compiler is within its rights transforming this to
+the following:
+
+ tmp = a;
+ if (a > 0)
+ for (;;)
+ do_something();
+
+If you don't want the compiler to do this (and you probably don't), then
+you should use something like the following:
+
+ while (ACCESS_ONCE(a) < 0)
+ do_something();
+
+Alternatively, you could place a barrier() call in the loop.
+
+For another example, consider the following code:
+
+ tmp_a = a;
+ do_something_with(tmp_a);
+ do_something_else_with(tmp_a);
+
+If the compiler can prove that do_something_with() does not store to the
+variable a, then the compiler is within its rights to manufacture an
+additional load as follows:
+
+ tmp_a = a;
+ do_something_with(tmp_a);
+ tmp_a = a;
+ do_something_else_with(tmp_a);
+
+This could fatally confuse your code if it expected the same value
+to be passed to do_something_with() and do_something_else_with().
+
+The compiler would be likely to manufacture this additional load if
+do_something_with() was an inline function that made very heavy use
+of registers: reloading from variable a could save a flush to the
+stack and later reload. To prevent the compiler from attacking your
+code in this manner, write the following:
+
+ tmp_a = ACCESS_ONCE(a);
+ do_something_with(tmp_a);
+ do_something_else_with(tmp_a);
+
+For a final example, consider the following code, assuming that the
+variable a is set at boot time before the second CPU is brought online
+and never changed later, so that memory barriers are not needed:
+
+ if (a)
+ b = 9;
+ else
+ b = 42;
+
+The compiler is within its rights to manufacture an additional store
+by transforming the above code into the following:
+
+ b = 42;
+ if (a)
+ b = 9;
+
+This could come as a fatal surprise to other code running concurrently
+that expected b to never have the value 42 if a was zero. To prevent
+the compiler from doing this, write something like:
+
+ if (a)
+ ACCESS_ONCE(b) = 9;
+ else
+ ACCESS_ONCE(b) = 42;
+
+Don't even -think- about doing this without proper use of memory barriers,
+locks, or atomic operations if variable a can change at runtime!
+
+*** WARNING: ACCESS_ONCE() DOES NOT IMPLY A BARRIER! ***
+
Now, we move onto the atomic operation interfaces typically implemented with
the help of assembly code.

+Network priority cgroup
+-------------------------
+
+The Network priority cgroup provides an interface to allow an administrator to
+dynamically set the priority of network traffic generated by various
+applications
+
+Nominally, an application would set the priority of its traffic via the
+SO_PRIORITY socket option. This however, is not always possible because:
+
+1) The application may not have been coded to set this value
+2) The priority of application traffic is often a site-specific administrative
+ decision rather than an application defined one.
+
+This cgroup allows an administrator to assign a process to a group which defines
+the priority of egress traffic on a given interface. Network priority groups can
+be created by first mounting the cgroup filesystem.
+
+# mount -t cgroup -onet_prio none /sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio
+
+With the above step, the initial group acting as the parent accounting group
+becomes visible at '/sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio'. This group includes all tasks in
+the system. '/sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio/tasks' lists the tasks in this cgroup.
+
+Each net_prio cgroup contains two files that are subsystem specific
+
+net_prio.prioidx
+This file is read-only, and is simply informative. It contains a unique integer
+value that the kernel uses as an internal representation of this cgroup.
+
+net_prio.ifpriomap
+This file contains a map of the priorities assigned to traffic originating from
+processes in this group and egressing the system on various interfaces. It
+contains a list of tuples in the form <ifname priority>. Contents of this file
+can be modified by echoing a string into the file using the same tuple format.
+for example:
+
+echo "eth0 5" > /sys/fs/cgroups/net_prio/iscsi/net_prio.ifpriomap
+
+This command would force any traffic originating from processes belonging to the
+iscsi net_prio cgroup and egressing on interface eth0 to have the priority of
+said traffic set to the value 5. The parent accounting group also has a
+writeable 'net_prio.ifpriomap' file that can be used to set a system default
+priority.
+
+Priorities are set immediately prior to queueing a frame to the device
+queueing discipline (qdisc) so priorities will be assigned prior to the hardware
+queue selection being made.
+
+One usage for the net_prio cgroup is with mqprio qdisc allowing application
+traffic to be steered to hardware/driver based traffic classes. These mappings
+can then be managed by administrators or other networking protocols such as
+DCBX.

+Introduction
+============
+
+The more-sophisticated device-mapper targets require complex metadata
+that is managed in kernel. In late 2010 we were seeing that various
+different targets were rolling their own data strutures, for example:
+
+- Mikulas Patocka's multisnap implementation
+- Heinz Mauelshagen's thin provisioning target
+- Another btree-based caching target posted to dm-devel
+- Another multi-snapshot target based on a design of Daniel Phillips
+
+Maintaining these data structures takes a lot of work, so if possible
+we'd like to reduce the number.
+
+The persistent-data library is an attempt to provide a re-usable
+framework for people who want to store metadata in device-mapper
+targets. It's currently used by the thin-provisioning target and an
+upcoming hierarchical storage target.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The main documentation is in the header files which can all be found
+under drivers/md/persistent-data.
+
+The block manager
+-----------------
+
+dm-block-manager.[hc]
+
+This provides access to the data on disk in fixed sized-blocks. There
+is a read/write locking interface to prevent concurrent accesses, and
+keep data that is being used in the cache.
+
+Clients of persistent-data are unlikely to use this directly.
+
+The transaction manager
+-----------------------
+
+dm-transaction-manager.[hc]
+
+This restricts access to blocks and enforces copy-on-write semantics.
+The only way you can get hold of a writable block through the
+transaction manager is by shadowing an existing block (ie. doing
+copy-on-write) or allocating a fresh one. Shadowing is elided within
+the same transaction so performance is reasonable. The commit method
+ensures that all data is flushed before it writes the superblock.
+On power failure your metadata will be as it was when last committed.
+
+The Space Maps
+--------------
+
+dm-space-map.h
+dm-space-map-metadata.[hc]
+dm-space-map-disk.[hc]
+
+On-disk data structures that keep track of reference counts of blocks.
+Also acts as the allocator of new blocks. Currently two
+implementations: a simpler one for managing blocks on a different
+device (eg. thinly-provisioned data blocks); and one for managing
+the metadata space. The latter is complicated by the need to store
+its own data within the space it's managing.
+
+The data structures
+-------------------
+
+dm-btree.[hc]
+dm-btree-remove.c
+dm-btree-spine.c
+dm-btree-internal.h
+
+Currently there is only one data structure, a hierarchical btree.
+There are plans to add more. For example, something with an
+array-like interface would see a lot of use.
+
+The btree is 'hierarchical' in that you can define it to be composed
+of nested btrees, and take multiple keys. For example, the
+thin-provisioning target uses a btree with two levels of nesting.
+The first maps a device id to a mapping tree, and that in turn maps a
+virtual block to a physical block.
+
+Values stored in the btrees can have arbitrary size. Keys are always
+64bits, although nesting allows you to use multiple keys.

+Introduction
+============
+
+This document descibes a collection of device-mapper targets that
+between them implement thin-provisioning and snapshots.
+
+The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous
+implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to
+be stored on the same data volume. This simplifies administration and
+allows the sharing of data between volumes, thus reducing disk usage.
+
+Another significant feature is support for an arbitrary depth of
+recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The
+previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together
+lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth). This new
+implementation uses a single data structure to avoid this degradation
+with depth. Fragmentation may still be an issue, however, in some
+scenarios.
+
+Metadata is stored on a separate device from data, giving the
+administrator some freedom, for example to:
+
+- Improve metadata resilience by storing metadata on a mirrored volume
+ but data on a non-mirrored one.
+
+- Improve performance by storing the metadata on SSD.
+
+Status
+======
+
+These targets are very much still in the EXPERIMENTAL state. Please
+do not yet rely on them in production. But do experiment and offer us
+feedback. Different use cases will have different performance
+characteristics, for example due to fragmentation of the data volume.
+
+If you find this software is not performing as expected please mail
+dm-devel@redhat.com with details and we'll try our best to improve
+things for you.
+
+Userspace tools for checking and repairing the metadata are under
+development.
+
+Cookbook
+========
+
+This section describes some quick recipes for using thin provisioning.
+They use the dmsetup program to control the device-mapper driver
+directly. End users will be advised to use a higher-level volume
+manager such as LVM2 once support has been added.
+
+Pool device
+-----------
+
+The pool device ties together the metadata volume and the data volume.
+It maps I/O linearly to the data volume and updates the metadata via
+two mechanisms:
+
+- Function calls from the thin targets
+
+- Device-mapper 'messages' from userspace which control the creation of new
+ virtual devices amongst other things.
+
+Setting up a fresh pool device
+------------------------------
+
+Setting up a pool device requires a valid metadata device, and a
+data device. If you do not have an existing metadata device you can
+make one by zeroing the first 4k to indicate empty metadata.
+
+ dd if=/dev/zero of=$metadata_dev bs=4096 count=1
+
+The amount of metadata you need will vary according to how many blocks
+are shared between thin devices (i.e. through snapshots). If you have
+less sharing than average you'll need a larger-than-average metadata device.
+
+As a guide, we suggest you calculate the number of bytes to use in the
+metadata device as 48 * $data_dev_size / $data_block_size but round it up
+to 2MB if the answer is smaller. The largest size supported is 16GB.
+
+If you're creating large numbers of snapshots which are recording large
+amounts of change, you may need find you need to increase this.
+
+Reloading a pool table
+----------------------
+
+You may reload a pool's table, indeed this is how the pool is resized
+if it runs out of space. (N.B. While specifying a different metadata
+device when reloading is not forbidden at the moment, things will go
+wrong if it does not route I/O to exactly the same on-disk location as
+previously.)
+
+Using an existing pool device
+-----------------------------
+
+ dmsetup create pool \
+ --table "0 20971520 thin-pool $metadata_dev $data_dev \
+ $data_block_size $low_water_mark"
+
+$data_block_size gives the smallest unit of disk space that can be
+allocated at a time expressed in units of 512-byte sectors. People
+primarily interested in thin provisioning may want to use a value such
+as 1024 (512KB). People doing lots of snapshotting may want a smaller value
+such as 128 (64KB). If you are not zeroing newly-allocated data,
+a larger $data_block_size in the region of 256000 (128MB) is suggested.
+$data_block_size must be the same for the lifetime of the
+metadata device.
+
+$low_water_mark is expressed in blocks of size $data_block_size. If
+free space on the data device drops below this level then a dm event
+will be triggered which a userspace daemon should catch allowing it to
+extend the pool device. Only one such event will be sent.
+Resuming a device with a new table itself triggers an event so the
+userspace daemon can use this to detect a situation where a new table
+already exceeds the threshold.
+
+Thin provisioning
+-----------------
+
+i) Creating a new thinly-provisioned volume.
+
+ To create a new thinly- provisioned volume you must send a message to an
+ active pool device, /dev/mapper/pool in this example.
+
+ dmsetup message /dev/mapper/pool 0 "create_thin 0"
+
+ Here '0' is an identifier for the volume, a 24-bit number. It's up
+ to the caller to allocate and manage these identifiers. If the
+ identifier is already in use, the message will fail with -EEXIST.
+
+ii) Using a thinly-provisioned volume.
+
+ Thinly-provisioned volumes are activated using the 'thin' target:
+
+ dmsetup create thin --table "0 2097152 thin /dev/mapper/pool 0"
+
+ The last parameter is the identifier for the thinp device.
+
+Internal snapshots
+------------------
+
+i) Creating an internal snapshot.
+
+ Snapshots are created with another message to the pool.
+
+ N.B. If the origin device that you wish to snapshot is active, you
+ must suspend it before creating the snapshot to avoid corruption.
+ This is NOT enforced at the moment, so please be careful!
+
+ dmsetup suspend /dev/mapper/thin
+ dmsetup message /dev/mapper/pool 0 "create_snap 1 0"
+ dmsetup resume /dev/mapper/thin
+
+ Here '1' is the identifier for the volume, a 24-bit number. '0' is the
+ identifier for the origin device.
+
+ii) Using an internal snapshot.
+
+ Once created, the user doesn't have to worry about any connection
+ between the origin and the snapshot. Indeed the snapshot is no
+ different from any other thinly-provisioned device and can be
+ snapshotted itself via the same method. It's perfectly legal to
+ have only one of them active, and there's no ordering requirement on
+ activating or removing them both. (This differs from conventional
+ device-mapper snapshots.)
+
+ Activate it exactly the same way as any other thinly-provisioned volume:
+
+ dmsetup create snap --table "0 2097152 thin /dev/mapper/pool 1"
+
+Deactivation
+------------
+
+All devices using a pool must be deactivated before the pool itself
+can be.
+
+ dmsetup remove thin
+ dmsetup remove snap
+ dmsetup remove pool
+
+Reference
+=========
+
+'thin-pool' target
+------------------
+
+i) Constructor
+
+ thin-pool <metadata dev> <data dev> <data block size (sectors)> \
+ <low water mark (blocks)> [<number of feature args> [<arg>]*]
+
+ Optional feature arguments:
+ - 'skip_block_zeroing': skips the zeroing of newly-provisioned blocks.
+
+ Data block size must be between 64KB (128 sectors) and 1GB
+ (2097152 sectors) inclusive.
+
+
+ii) Status
+
+ <transaction id> <used metadata blocks>/<total metadata blocks>
+ <used data blocks>/<total data blocks> <held metadata root>
+
+
+ transaction id:
+ A 64-bit number used by userspace to help synchronise with metadata
+ from volume managers.
+
+ used data blocks / total data blocks
+ If the number of free blocks drops below the pool's low water mark a
+ dm event will be sent to userspace. This event is edge-triggered and
+ it will occur only once after each resume so volume manager writers
+ should register for the event and then check the target's status.
+
+ held metadata root:
+ The location, in sectors, of the metadata root that has been
+ 'held' for userspace read access. '-' indicates there is no
+ held root. This feature is not yet implemented so '-' is
+ always returned.
+
+iii) Messages
+
+ create_thin <dev id>
+
+ Create a new thinly-provisioned device.
+ <dev id> is an arbitrary unique 24-bit identifier chosen by
+ the caller.
+
+ create_snap <dev id> <origin id>
+
+ Create a new snapshot of another thinly-provisioned device.
+ <dev id> is an arbitrary unique 24-bit identifier chosen by
+ the caller.
+ <origin id> is the identifier of the thinly-provisioned device
+ of which the new device will be a snapshot.
+
+ delete <dev id>
+
+ Deletes a thin device. Irreversible.
+
+ trim <dev id> <new size in sectors>
+
+ Delete mappings from the end of a thin device. Irreversible.
+ You might want to use this if you're reducing the size of
+ your thinly-provisioned device. In many cases, due to the
+ sharing of blocks between devices, it is not possible to
+ determine in advance how much space 'trim' will release. (In
+ future a userspace tool might be able to perform this
+ calculation.)
+
+ set_transaction_id <current id> <new id>
+
+ Userland volume managers, such as LVM, need a way to
+ synchronise their external metadata with the internal metadata of the
+ pool target. The thin-pool target offers to store an
+ arbitrary 64-bit transaction id and return it on the target's
+ status line. To avoid races you must provide what you think
+ the current transaction id is when you change it with this
+ compare-and-swap message.
+
+'thin' target
+-------------
+
+i) Constructor
+
+ thin <pool dev> <dev id>
+
+ pool dev:
+ the thin-pool device, e.g. /dev/mapper/my_pool or 253:0
+
+ dev id:
+ the internal device identifier of the device to be
+ activated.
+
+The pool doesn't store any size against the thin devices. If you
+load a thin target that is smaller than you've been using previously,
+then you'll have no access to blocks mapped beyond the end. If you
+load a target that is bigger than before, then extra blocks will be
+provisioned as and when needed.
+
+If you wish to reduce the size of your thin device and potentially
+regain some space then send the 'trim' message to the pool.
+
+ii) Status
+
+ <nr mapped sectors> <highest mapped sector>

+* ARM Generic Interrupt Controller
+
+ARM SMP cores are often associated with a GIC, providing per processor
+interrupts (PPI), shared processor interrupts (SPI) and software
+generated interrupts (SGI).
+
+Primary GIC is attached directly to the CPU and typically has PPIs and SGIs.
+Secondary GICs are cascaded into the upward interrupt controller and do not
+have PPIs or SGIs.
+
+Main node required properties:
+
+- compatible : should be one of:
+ "arm,cortex-a9-gic"
+ "arm,arm11mp-gic"
+- interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+- #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
+ interrupt source. The type shall be a <u32> and the value shall be 3.
+
+ The 1st cell is the interrupt type; 0 for SPI interrupts, 1 for PPI
+ interrupts.
+
+ The 2nd cell contains the interrupt number for the interrupt type.
+ SPI interrupts are in the range [0-987]. PPI interrupts are in the
+ range [0-15].
+
+ The 3rd cell is the flags, encoded as follows:
+ bits[3:0] trigger type and level flags.
+ 1 = low-to-high edge triggered
+ 2 = high-to-low edge triggered
+ 4 = active high level-sensitive
+ 8 = active low level-sensitive
+ bits[15:8] PPI interrupt cpu mask. Each bit corresponds to each of
+ the 8 possible cpus attached to the GIC. A bit set to '1' indicated
+ the interrupt is wired to that CPU. Only valid for PPI interrupts.
+
+- reg : Specifies base physical address(s) and size of the GIC registers. The
+ first region is the GIC distributor register base and size. The 2nd region is
+ the GIC cpu interface register base and size.
+
+Optional
+- interrupts : Interrupt source of the parent interrupt controller. Only
+ present on secondary GICs.
+
+- cpu-offset : per-cpu offset within the distributor and cpu interface
+ regions, used when the GIC doesn't have banked registers. The offset is
+ cpu-offset * cpu-nr.
+
+Example:
+
+ intc: interrupt-controller@fff11000 {
+ compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-gic";
+ #interrupt-cells = <3>;
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ interrupt-controller;
+ reg = <0xfff11000 0x1000>,

+Device State Configuration Registers
+------------------------------------
+
+TI C6X SoCs contain a region of miscellaneous registers which provide various
+function for SoC control or status. Details vary considerably among from SoC
+to SoC with no two being alike.
+
+In general, the Device State Configuraion Registers (DSCR) will provide one or
+more configuration registers often protected by a lock register where one or
+more key values must be written to a lock register in order to unlock the
+configuration register for writes. These configuration register may be used to
+enable (and disable in some cases) SoC pin drivers, select peripheral clock
+sources (internal or pin), etc. In some cases, a configuration register is
+write once or the individual bits are write once. In addition to device config,
+the DSCR block may provide registers which which are used to reset peripherals,
+provide device ID information, provide ethernet MAC addresses, as well as other
+miscellaneous functions.
+
+For device state control (enable/disable), each device control is assigned an
+id which is used by individual device drivers to control the state as needed.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: must be "ti,c64x+dscr"
+- reg: register area base and size
+
+Optional properties:
+
+ NOTE: These are optional in that not all SoCs will have all properties. For
+ SoCs which do support a given property, leaving the property out of the
+ device tree will result in reduced functionality or possibly driver
+ failure.
+
+- ti,dscr-devstat
+ offset of the devstat register
+
+- ti,dscr-silicon-rev
+ offset, start bit, and bitsize of silicon revision field
+
+- ti,dscr-rmii-resets
+ offset and bitmask of RMII reset field. May have multiple tuples if more
+ than one ethernet port is available.
+
+- ti,dscr-locked-regs
+ possibly multiple tuples describing registers which are write protected by
+ a lock register. Each tuple consists of the register offset, lock register
+ offsset, and the key value used to unlock the register.
+
+- ti,dscr-kick-regs
+ offset and key values of two "kick" registers used to write protect other
+ registers in DSCR. On SoCs using kick registers, the first key must be
+ written to the first kick register and the second key must be written to
+ the second register before other registers in the area are write-enabled.
+
+- ti,dscr-mac-fuse-regs
+ MAC addresses are contained in two registers. Each element of a MAC address
+ is contained in a single byte. This property has two tuples. Each tuple has
+ a register offset and four cells representing bytes in the register from
+ most significant to least. The value of these four cells is the MAC byte
+ index (1-6) of the byte within the register. A value of 0 means the byte
+ is unused in the MAC address.
+
+- ti,dscr-devstate-ctl-regs
+ This property describes the bitfields used to control the state of devices.
+ Each tuple describes a range of identical bitfields used to control one or
+ more devices (one bitfield per device). The layout of each tuple is:
+
+ start_id num_ids reg enable disable start_bit nbits
+
+ Where:
+ start_id is device id for the first device control in the range
+ num_ids is the number of device controls in the range
+ reg is the offset of the register holding the control bits
+ enable is the value to enable a device
+ disable is the value to disable a device (0xffffffff if cannot disable)
+ start_bit is the bit number of the first bit in the range
+ nbits is the number of bits per device control
+
+- ti,dscr-devstate-stat-regs
+ This property describes the bitfields used to provide device state status
+ for device states controlled by the DSCR. Each tuple describes a range of
+ identical bitfields used to provide status for one or more devices (one
+ bitfield per device). The layout of each tuple is:
+
+ start_id num_ids reg enable disable start_bit nbits
+
+ Where:
+ start_id is device id for the first device status in the range
+ num_ids is the number of devices covered by the range
+ reg is the offset of the register holding the status bits
+ enable is the value indicating device is enabled
+ disable is the value indicating device is disabled
+ start_bit is the bit number of the first bit in the range
+ nbits is the number of bits per device status
+
+- ti,dscr-privperm
+ Offset and default value for register used to set access privilege for
+ some SoC devices.
+
+
+Example:
+

+C6X Interrupt Chips
+-------------------
+
+* C64X+ Core Interrupt Controller
+
+ The core interrupt controller provides 16 prioritized interrupts to the
+ C64X+ core. Priority 0 and 1 are used for reset and NMI respectively.
+ Priority 2 and 3 are reserved. Priority 4-15 are used for interrupt
+ sources coming from outside the core.
+
+ Required properties:
+ --------------------
+ - compatible: Should be "ti,c64x+core-pic";
+ - #interrupt-cells: <1>
+
+ Interrupt Specifier Definition
+ ------------------------------
+ Single cell specifying the core interrupt priority level (4-15) where
+ 4 is highest priority and 15 is lowest priority.
+
+ Example
+ -------
+ core_pic: interrupt-controller@0 {
+ interrupt-controller;
+ #interrupt-cells = <1>;
+ compatible = "ti,c64x+core-pic";
+ };
+
+
+
+* C64x+ Megamodule Interrupt Controller
+
+ The megamodule PIC consists of four interrupt mupliplexers each of which
+ combine up to 32 interrupt inputs into a single interrupt output which
+ may be cascaded into the core interrupt controller. The megamodule PIC
+ has a total of 12 outputs cascading into the core interrupt controller.
+ One for each core interrupt priority level. In addition to the combined
+ interrupt sources, individual megamodule interrupts may be cascaded to
+ the core interrupt controller. When an individual interrupt is cascaded,
+ it is no longer handled through a megamodule interrupt combiner and is
+ considered to have the core interrupt controller as the parent.
+
+ Required properties:
+ --------------------
+ - compatible: "ti,c64x+megamod-pic"
+ - interrupt-controller
+ - #interrupt-cells: <1>
+ - reg: base address and size of register area
+ - interrupt-parent: must be core interrupt controller
+ - interrupts: This should have four cells; one for each interrupt combiner.
+ The cells contain the core priority interrupt to which the
+ corresponding combiner output is wired.
+
+ Optional properties:
+ --------------------
+ - ti,c64x+megamod-pic-mux: Array of 12 cells correspnding to the 12 core
+ priority interrupts. The first cell corresponds to
+ core priority 4 and the last cell corresponds to
+ core priority 15. The value of each cell is the
+ megamodule interrupt source which is MUXed to
+ the core interrupt corresponding to the cell
+ position. Allowed values are 4 - 127. Mapping for
+ interrupts 0 - 3 (combined interrupt sources) are
+ ignored.
+
+ Interrupt Specifier Definition
+ ------------------------------
+ Single cell specifying the megamodule interrupt source (4-127). Note that
+ interrupts mapped directly to the core with "ti,c64x+megamod-pic-mux" will
+ use the core interrupt controller as their parent and the specifier will
+ be the core priority level, not the megamodule interrupt number.
+
+ Examples
+ --------
+ megamod_pic: interrupt-controller@1800000 {
+ compatible = "ti,c64x+megamod-pic";
+ interrupt-controller;
+ #interrupt-cells = <1>;
+ reg = <0x1800000 0x1000>;
+ interrupt-parent = <&core_pic>;
+ interrupts = < 12 13 14 15 >;
+ };
+
+ This is a minimal example where all individual interrupts go through a
+ combiner. Combiner-0 is mapped to core interrupt 12, combiner-1 is mapped
+ to interrupt 13, etc.
+
+
+ megamod_pic: interrupt-controller@1800000 {
+ compatible = "ti,c64x+megamod-pic";
+ interrupt-controller;
+ #interrupt-cells = <1>;
+ reg = <0x1800000 0x1000>;
+ interrupt-parent = <&core_pic>;
+ interrupts = < 12 13 14 15 >;
+ ti,c64x+megamod-pic-mux = < 0 0 0 0
+ 32 0 0 0
+ 0 0 0 0 >;
+ };
+
+ This the same as the first example except that megamodule interrupt 32 is
+ mapped directly to core priority interrupt 8. The node using this interrupt
+ must set the core controller as its interrupt parent and use 8 in the
+ interrupt specifier value.

-CAN Device Tree Bindings
-------------------------
-2011 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
+Flexcan CAN contoller on Freescale's ARM and PowerPC system-on-a-chip (SOC).
-fsl,flexcan-v1.0 nodes
------------------------
-In addition to the required compatible-, reg- and interrupt-properties, you can
-also specify which clock source shall be used for the controller.
+Required properties:
-CPI Clock- Can Protocol Interface Clock
- This CLK_SRC bit of CTRL(control register) selects the clock source to
- the CAN Protocol Interface(CPI) to be either the peripheral clock
- (driven by the PLL) or the crystal oscillator clock. The selected clock
- is the one fed to the prescaler to generate the Serial Clock (Sclock).
- The PRESDIV field of CTRL(control register) controls a prescaler that
- generates the Serial Clock (Sclock), whose period defines the
- time quantum used to compose the CAN waveform.
+- compatible : Should be "fsl,<processor>-flexcan"
-Can Engine Clock Source
- There are two sources for CAN clock
- - Platform Clock It represents the bus clock
- - Oscillator Clock
+ An implementation should also claim any of the following compatibles
+ that it is fully backwards compatible with:
- Peripheral Clock (PLL)
- --------------
- |
- --------- -------------
- | |CPI Clock | Prescaler | Sclock
- | |---------------->| (1.. 256) |------------>
- --------- -------------
- | |
- -------------- ---------------------CLK_SRC
- Oscillator Clock
+ - fsl,p1010-flexcan
-- fsl,flexcan-clock-source : CAN Engine Clock Source.This property selects
- the peripheral clock. PLL clock is fed to the
- prescaler to generate the Serial Clock (Sclock).
- Valid values are "oscillator" and "platform"
- "oscillator": CAN engine clock source is oscillator clock.
- "platform" The CAN engine clock source is the bus clock
- (platform clock).
+- reg : Offset and length of the register set for this device
+- interrupts : Interrupt tuple for this device
+- clock-frequency : The oscillator frequency driving the flexcan device
-- fsl,flexcan-clock-divider : for the reference and system clock, an additional
- clock divider can be specified.
-- clock-frequency: frequency required to calculate the bitrate for FlexCAN.
+Example:
-Note:
- - v1.0 of flexcan-v1.0 represent the IP block version for P1010 SOC.
- - P1010 does not have oscillator as the Clock Source.So the default
- Clock Source is platform clock.
-Examples:
-
- can0@1c000 {
- compatible = "fsl,flexcan-v1.0";
+ can@1c000 {
+ compatible = "fsl,p1010-flexcan";
reg = <0x1c000 0x1000>;
interrupts = <48 0x2>;
interrupt-parent = <&mpic>;

- fsl,flexcan-clock-divider = <2>;
- clock-frequency = <fixed by u-boot>;
+ clock-frequency = <200000000>; // filled in by bootloader

+The Freescale hypervisor and msi-address-64
+-------------------------------------------
+Normally, PCI devices have access to all of CCSR via an ATMU mapping. The
+Freescale MSI driver calculates the address of MSIIR (in the MSI register
+block) and sets that address as the MSI message address.
+
+In a virtualized environment, the hypervisor may need to create an IOMMU
+mapping for MSIIR. The Freescale ePAPR hypervisor has this requirement
+because of hardware limitations of the Peripheral Access Management Unit
+(PAMU), which is currently the only IOMMU that the hypervisor supports.
+The ATMU is programmed with the guest physical address, and the PAMU
+intercepts transactions and reroutes them to the true physical address.
+
+In the PAMU, each PCI controller is given only one primary window. The
+PAMU restricts DMA operations so that they can only occur within a window.
+Because PCI devices must be able to DMA to memory, the primary window must
+be used to cover all of the guest's memory space.
+
+PAMU primary windows can be divided into 256 subwindows, and each
+subwindow can have its own address mapping ("guest physical" to "true
+physical"). However, each subwindow has to have the same alignment, which
+means they cannot be located at just any address. Because of these
+restrictions, it is usually impossible to create a 4KB subwindow that
+covers MSIIR where it's normally located.
+
+Therefore, the hypervisor has to create a subwindow inside the same
+primary window used for memory, but mapped to the MSIR block (where MSIIR
+lives). The first subwindow after the end of guest memory is used for
+this. The address specified in the msi-address-64 property is the PCI
+address of MSIIR. The hypervisor configures the PAMU to map that address to
+the true physical address of MSIIR.

+
+1. Introduction
+
+Digital signature verification API provides a method to verify digital signature.
+Currently digital signatures are used by the IMA/EVM integrity protection subsystem.
+
+Digital signature verification is implemented using cut-down kernel port of
+GnuPG multi-precision integers (MPI) library. The kernel port provides
+memory allocation errors handling, has been refactored according to kernel
+coding style, and checkpatch.pl reported errors and warnings have been fixed.
+
+Public key and signature consist of header and MPIs.
+
+struct pubkey_hdr {
+ uint8_t version; /* key format version */
+ time_t timestamp; /* key made, always 0 for now */
+ uint8_t algo;
+ uint8_t nmpi;
+ char mpi[0];
+} __packed;
+
+struct signature_hdr {
+ uint8_t version; /* signature format version */
+ time_t timestamp; /* signature made */
+ uint8_t algo;
+ uint8_t hash;
+ uint8_t keyid[8];
+ uint8_t nmpi;
+ char mpi[0];
+} __packed;
+
+keyid equals to SHA1[12-19] over the total key content.
+Signature header is used as an input to generate a signature.
+Such approach insures that key or signature header could not be changed.
+It protects timestamp from been changed and can be used for rollback
+protection.
+
+2. API
+
+API currently includes only 1 function:
+
+ digsig_verify() - digital signature verification with public key
+
+
+/**
+ * digsig_verify() - digital signature verification with public key
+ * @keyring: keyring to search key in
+ * @sig: digital signature
+ * @sigen: length of the signature
+ * @data: data
+ * @datalen: length of the data
+ * @return: 0 on success, -EINVAL otherwise
+ *
+ * Verifies data integrity against digital signature.
+ * Currently only RSA is supported.
+ * Normally hash of the content is used as a data for this function.
+ *
+ */
+int digsig_verify(struct key *keyring, const char *sig, int siglen,
+ const char *data, int datalen);
+
+3. User-space utilities
+
+The signing and key management utilities evm-utils provide functionality
+to generate signatures, to load keys into the kernel keyring.
+Keys can be in PEM or converted to the kernel format.
+When the key is added to the kernel keyring, the keyid defines the name
+of the key: 5D2B05FC633EE3E8 in the example bellow.
+
+Here is example output of the keyctl utility.

+ DMA Buffer Sharing API Guide
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ Sumit Semwal
+ <sumit dot semwal at linaro dot org>
+ <sumit dot semwal at ti dot com>
+
+This document serves as a guide to device-driver writers on what is the dma-buf
+buffer sharing API, how to use it for exporting and using shared buffers.
+
+Any device driver which wishes to be a part of DMA buffer sharing, can do so as
+either the 'exporter' of buffers, or the 'user' of buffers.
+
+Say a driver A wants to use buffers created by driver B, then we call B as the
+exporter, and A as buffer-user.
+
+The exporter
+- implements and manages operations[1] for the buffer
+- allows other users to share the buffer by using dma_buf sharing APIs,
+- manages the details of buffer allocation,
+- decides about the actual backing storage where this allocation happens,
+- takes care of any migration of scatterlist - for all (shared) users of this
+ buffer,
+
+The buffer-user
+- is one of (many) sharing users of the buffer.
+- doesn't need to worry about how the buffer is allocated, or where.
+- needs a mechanism to get access to the scatterlist that makes up this buffer
+ in memory, mapped into its own address space, so it can access the same area
+ of memory.
+
+*IMPORTANT*: [see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/20/211 for more details]
+For this first version, A buffer shared using the dma_buf sharing API:
+- *may* be exported to user space using "mmap" *ONLY* by exporter, outside of
+ this framework.
+- may be used *ONLY* by importers that do not need CPU access to the buffer.
+
+The dma_buf buffer sharing API usage contains the following steps:
+
+1. Exporter announces that it wishes to export a buffer
+2. Userspace gets the file descriptor associated with the exported buffer, and
+ passes it around to potential buffer-users based on use case
+3. Each buffer-user 'connects' itself to the buffer
+4. When needed, buffer-user requests access to the buffer from exporter
+5. When finished with its use, the buffer-user notifies end-of-DMA to exporter
+6. when buffer-user is done using this buffer completely, it 'disconnects'
+ itself from the buffer.
+
+
+1. Exporter's announcement of buffer export
+
+ The buffer exporter announces its wish to export a buffer. In this, it
+ connects its own private buffer data, provides implementation for operations
+ that can be performed on the exported dma_buf, and flags for the file
+ associated with this buffer.
+
+ Interface:
+ struct dma_buf *dma_buf_export(void *priv, struct dma_buf_ops *ops,
+ size_t size, int flags)
+
+ If this succeeds, dma_buf_export allocates a dma_buf structure, and returns a
+ pointer to the same. It also associates an anonymous file with this buffer,
+ so it can be exported. On failure to allocate the dma_buf object, it returns
+ NULL.
+
+2. Userspace gets a handle to pass around to potential buffer-users
+
+ Userspace entity requests for a file-descriptor (fd) which is a handle to the
+ anonymous file associated with the buffer. It can then share the fd with other
+ drivers and/or processes.
+
+ Interface:
+ int dma_buf_fd(struct dma_buf *dmabuf)
+
+ This API installs an fd for the anonymous file associated with this buffer;
+ returns either 'fd', or error.
+
+3. Each buffer-user 'connects' itself to the buffer
+
+ Each buffer-user now gets a reference to the buffer, using the fd passed to
+ it.
+
+ Interface:
+ struct dma_buf *dma_buf_get(int fd)
+
+ This API will return a reference to the dma_buf, and increment refcount for
+ it.
+
+ After this, the buffer-user needs to attach its device with the buffer, which
+ helps the exporter to know of device buffer constraints.
+
+ Interface:
+ struct dma_buf_attachment *dma_buf_attach(struct dma_buf *dmabuf,
+ struct device *dev)
+
+ This API returns reference to an attachment structure, which is then used
+ for scatterlist operations. It will optionally call the 'attach' dma_buf
+ operation, if provided by the exporter.
+
+ The dma-buf sharing framework does the bookkeeping bits related to managing
+ the list of all attachments to a buffer.
+
+Until this stage, the buffer-exporter has the option to choose not to actually
+allocate the backing storage for this buffer, but wait for the first buffer-user
+to request use of buffer for allocation.
+
+
+4. When needed, buffer-user requests access to the buffer
+
+ Whenever a buffer-user wants to use the buffer for any DMA, it asks for
+ access to the buffer using dma_buf_map_attachment API. At least one attach to
+ the buffer must have happened before map_dma_buf can be called.
+
+ Interface:
+ struct sg_table * dma_buf_map_attachment(struct dma_buf_attachment *,
+ enum dma_data_direction);
+
+ This is a wrapper to dma_buf->ops->map_dma_buf operation, which hides the
+ "dma_buf->ops->" indirection from the users of this interface.
+
+ In struct dma_buf_ops, map_dma_buf is defined as
+ struct sg_table * (*map_dma_buf)(struct dma_buf_attachment *,
+ enum dma_data_direction);
+
+ It is one of the buffer operations that must be implemented by the exporter.
+ It should return the sg_table containing scatterlist for this buffer, mapped
+ into caller's address space.
+
+ If this is being called for the first time, the exporter can now choose to
+ scan through the list of attachments for this buffer, collate the requirements
+ of the attached devices, and choose an appropriate backing storage for the
+ buffer.
+
+ Based on enum dma_data_direction, it might be possible to have multiple users
+ accessing at the same time (for reading, maybe), or any other kind of sharing
+ that the exporter might wish to make available to buffer-users.
+
+ map_dma_buf() operation can return -EINTR if it is interrupted by a signal.
+
+
+5. When finished, the buffer-user notifies end-of-DMA to exporter
+
+ Once the DMA for the current buffer-user is over, it signals 'end-of-DMA' to
+ the exporter using the dma_buf_unmap_attachment API.
+
+ Interface:
+ void dma_buf_unmap_attachment(struct dma_buf_attachment *,
+ struct sg_table *);
+
+ This is a wrapper to dma_buf->ops->unmap_dma_buf() operation, which hides the
+ "dma_buf->ops->" indirection from the users of this interface.
+
+ In struct dma_buf_ops, unmap_dma_buf is defined as
+ void (*unmap_dma_buf)(struct dma_buf_attachment *, struct sg_table *);
+
+ unmap_dma_buf signifies the end-of-DMA for the attachment provided. Like
+ map_dma_buf, this API also must be implemented by the exporter.
+
+
+6. when buffer-user is done using this buffer, it 'disconnects' itself from the
+ buffer.
+
+ After the buffer-user has no more interest in using this buffer, it should
+ disconnect itself from the buffer:
+
+ - it first detaches itself from the buffer.
+
+ Interface:
+ void dma_buf_detach(struct dma_buf *dmabuf,
+ struct dma_buf_attachment *dmabuf_attach);
+
+ This API removes the attachment from the list in dmabuf, and optionally calls
+ dma_buf->ops->detach(), if provided by exporter, for any housekeeping bits.
+
+ - Then, the buffer-user returns the buffer reference to exporter.
+
+ Interface:
+ void dma_buf_put(struct dma_buf *dmabuf);
+
+ This API then reduces the refcount for this buffer.
+
+ If, as a result of this call, the refcount becomes 0, the 'release' file
+ operation related to this fd is called. It calls the dmabuf->ops->release()
+ operation in turn, and frees the memory allocated for dmabuf when exported.
+
+NOTES:
+- Importance of attach-detach and {map,unmap}_dma_buf operation pairs
+ The attach-detach calls allow the exporter to figure out backing-storage
+ constraints for the currently-interested devices. This allows preferential
+ allocation, and/or migration of pages across different types of storage
+ available, if possible.
+
+ Bracketing of DMA access with {map,unmap}_dma_buf operations is essential
+ to allow just-in-time backing of storage, and migration mid-way through a
+ use-case.
+
+- Migration of backing storage if needed
+ If after
+ - at least one map_dma_buf has happened,
+ - and the backing storage has been allocated for this buffer,
+ another new buffer-user intends to attach itself to this buffer, it might
+ be allowed, if possible for the exporter.
+
+ In case it is allowed by the exporter:
+ if the new buffer-user has stricter 'backing-storage constraints', and the
+ exporter can handle these constraints, the exporter can just stall on the
+ map_dma_buf until all outstanding access is completed (as signalled by
+ unmap_dma_buf).
+ Once all users have finished accessing and have unmapped this buffer, the
+ exporter could potentially move the buffer to the stricter backing-storage,
+ and then allow further {map,unmap}_dma_buf operations from any buffer-user
+ from the migrated backing-storage.
+
+ If the exporter cannot fulfil the backing-storage constraints of the new
+ buffer-user device as requested, dma_buf_attach() would return an error to
+ denote non-compatibility of the new buffer-sharing request with the current
+ buffer.
+
+ If the exporter chooses not to allow an attach() operation once a
+ map_dma_buf() API has been called, it simply returns an error.
+
+Miscellaneous notes:
+- Any exporters or users of the dma-buf buffer sharing framework must have
+ a 'select DMA_SHARED_BUFFER' in their respective Kconfigs.

+ The Frame Buffer Device API
+ ---------------------------
+
+Last revised: June 21, 2011
+
+
+0. Introduction
+---------------
+
+This document describes the frame buffer API used by applications to interact
+with frame buffer devices. In-kernel APIs between device drivers and the frame
+buffer core are not described.
+
+Due to a lack of documentation in the original frame buffer API, drivers
+behaviours differ in subtle (and not so subtle) ways. This document describes
+the recommended API implementation, but applications should be prepared to
+deal with different behaviours.
+
+
+1. Capabilities
+---------------
+
+Device and driver capabilities are reported in the fixed screen information
+capabilities field.
+
+struct fb_fix_screeninfo {
+ ...
+ __u16 capabilities; /* see FB_CAP_* */
+ ...
+};
+
+Application should use those capabilities to find out what features they can
+expect from the device and driver.
+
+- FB_CAP_FOURCC
+
+The driver supports the four character code (FOURCC) based format setting API.
+When supported, formats are configured using a FOURCC instead of manually
+specifying color components layout.
+
+
+2. Types and visuals
+--------------------
+
+Pixels are stored in memory in hardware-dependent formats. Applications need
+to be aware of the pixel storage format in order to write image data to the
+frame buffer memory in the format expected by the hardware.
+
+Formats are described by frame buffer types and visuals. Some visuals require
+additional information, which are stored in the variable screen information
+bits_per_pixel, grayscale, red, green, blue and transp fields.
+
+Visuals describe how color information is encoded and assembled to create
+macropixels. Types describe how macropixels are stored in memory. The following
+types and visuals are supported.
+
+- FB_TYPE_PACKED_PIXELS
+
+Macropixels are stored contiguously in a single plane. If the number of bits
+per macropixel is not a multiple of 8, whether macropixels are padded to the
+next multiple of 8 bits or packed together into bytes depends on the visual.
+
+Padding at end of lines may be present and is then reported through the fixed
+screen information line_length field.
+
+- FB_TYPE_PLANES
+
+Macropixels are split across multiple planes. The number of planes is equal to
+the number of bits per macropixel, with plane i'th storing i'th bit from all
+macropixels.
+
+Planes are located contiguously in memory.
+
+- FB_TYPE_INTERLEAVED_PLANES
+
+Macropixels are split across multiple planes. The number of planes is equal to
+the number of bits per macropixel, with plane i'th storing i'th bit from all
+macropixels.
+
+Planes are interleaved in memory. The interleave factor, defined as the
+distance in bytes between the beginning of two consecutive interleaved blocks
+belonging to different planes, is stored in the fixed screen information
+type_aux field.
+
+- FB_TYPE_FOURCC
+
+Macropixels are stored in memory as described by the format FOURCC identifier
+stored in the variable screen information grayscale field.
+
+- FB_VISUAL_MONO01
+
+Pixels are black or white and stored on a number of bits (typically one)
+specified by the variable screen information bpp field.
+
+Black pixels are represented by all bits set to 1 and white pixels by all bits
+set to 0. When the number of bits per pixel is smaller than 8, several pixels
+are packed together in a byte.
+
+FB_VISUAL_MONO01 is currently used with FB_TYPE_PACKED_PIXELS only.
+
+- FB_VISUAL_MONO10
+
+Pixels are black or white and stored on a number of bits (typically one)
+specified by the variable screen information bpp field.
+
+Black pixels are represented by all bits set to 0 and white pixels by all bits
+set to 1. When the number of bits per pixel is smaller than 8, several pixels
+are packed together in a byte.
+
+FB_VISUAL_MONO01 is currently used with FB_TYPE_PACKED_PIXELS only.
+
+- FB_VISUAL_TRUECOLOR
+
+Pixels are broken into red, green and blue components, and each component
+indexes a read-only lookup table for the corresponding value. Lookup tables
+are device-dependent, and provide linear or non-linear ramps.
+
+Each component is stored in a macropixel according to the variable screen
+information red, green, blue and transp fields.
+
+- FB_VISUAL_PSEUDOCOLOR and FB_VISUAL_STATIC_PSEUDOCOLOR
+
+Pixel values are encoded as indices into a colormap that stores red, green and
+blue components. The colormap is read-only for FB_VISUAL_STATIC_PSEUDOCOLOR
+and read-write for FB_VISUAL_PSEUDOCOLOR.
+
+Each pixel value is stored in the number of bits reported by the variable
+screen information bits_per_pixel field.
+
+- FB_VISUAL_DIRECTCOLOR
+
+Pixels are broken into red, green and blue components, and each component
+indexes a programmable lookup table for the corresponding value.
+
+Each component is stored in a macropixel according to the variable screen
+information red, green, blue and transp fields.
+
+- FB_VISUAL_FOURCC
+
+Pixels are encoded and interpreted as described by the format FOURCC
+identifier stored in the variable screen information grayscale field.
+
+
+3. Screen information
+---------------------
+
+Screen information are queried by applications using the FBIOGET_FSCREENINFO
+and FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO ioctls. Those ioctls take a pointer to a
+fb_fix_screeninfo and fb_var_screeninfo structure respectively.
+
+struct fb_fix_screeninfo stores device independent unchangeable information
+about the frame buffer device and the current format. Those information can't
+be directly modified by applications, but can be changed by the driver when an
+application modifies the format.
+
+struct fb_fix_screeninfo {
+ char id[16]; /* identification string eg "TT Builtin" */
+ unsigned long smem_start; /* Start of frame buffer mem */
+ /* (physical address) */
+ __u32 smem_len; /* Length of frame buffer mem */
+ __u32 type; /* see FB_TYPE_* */
+ __u32 type_aux; /* Interleave for interleaved Planes */
+ __u32 visual; /* see FB_VISUAL_* */
+ __u16 xpanstep; /* zero if no hardware panning */
+ __u16 ypanstep; /* zero if no hardware panning */
+ __u16 ywrapstep; /* zero if no hardware ywrap */
+ __u32 line_length; /* length of a line in bytes */
+ unsigned long mmio_start; /* Start of Memory Mapped I/O */
+ /* (physical address) */
+ __u32 mmio_len; /* Length of Memory Mapped I/O */
+ __u32 accel; /* Indicate to driver which */
+ /* specific chip/card we have */
+ __u16 capabilities; /* see FB_CAP_* */
+ __u16 reserved[2]; /* Reserved for future compatibility */
+};
+
+struct fb_var_screeninfo stores device independent changeable information
+about a frame buffer device, its current format and video mode, as well as
+other miscellaneous parameters.
+
+struct fb_var_screeninfo {
+ __u32 xres; /* visible resolution */
+ __u32 yres;
+ __u32 xres_virtual; /* virtual resolution */
+ __u32 yres_virtual;
+ __u32 xoffset; /* offset from virtual to visible */
+ __u32 yoffset; /* resolution */
+
+ __u32 bits_per_pixel; /* guess what */
+ __u32 grayscale; /* 0 = color, 1 = grayscale, */
+ /* >1 = FOURCC */
+ struct fb_bitfield red; /* bitfield in fb mem if true color, */
+ struct fb_bitfield green; /* else only length is significant */
+ struct fb_bitfield blue;
+ struct fb_bitfield transp; /* transparency */
+
+ __u32 nonstd; /* != 0 Non standard pixel format */
+
+ __u32 activate; /* see FB_ACTIVATE_* */
+
+ __u32 height; /* height of picture in mm */
+ __u32 width; /* width of picture in mm */
+
+ __u32 accel_flags; /* (OBSOLETE) see fb_info.flags */
+
+ /* Timing: All values in pixclocks, except pixclock (of course) */
+ __u32 pixclock; /* pixel clock in ps (pico seconds) */
+ __u32 left_margin; /* time from sync to picture */
+ __u32 right_margin; /* time from picture to sync */
+ __u32 upper_margin; /* time from sync to picture */
+ __u32 lower_margin;
+ __u32 hsync_len; /* length of horizontal sync */
+ __u32 vsync_len; /* length of vertical sync */
+ __u32 sync; /* see FB_SYNC_* */
+ __u32 vmode; /* see FB_VMODE_* */
+ __u32 rotate; /* angle we rotate counter clockwise */
+ __u32 colorspace; /* colorspace for FOURCC-based modes */
+ __u32 reserved[4]; /* Reserved for future compatibility */
+};
+
+To modify variable information, applications call the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO
+ioctl with a pointer to a fb_var_screeninfo structure. If the call is
+successful, the driver will update the fixed screen information accordingly.
+
+Instead of filling the complete fb_var_screeninfo structure manually,
+applications should call the FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO ioctl and modify only the
+fields they care about.
+
+
+4. Format configuration
+-----------------------
+
+Frame buffer devices offer two ways to configure the frame buffer format: the
+legacy API and the FOURCC-based API.
+
+
+The legacy API has been the only frame buffer format configuration API for a
+long time and is thus widely used by application. It is the recommended API
+for applications when using RGB and grayscale formats, as well as legacy
+non-standard formats.
+
+To select a format, applications set the fb_var_screeninfo bits_per_pixel field
+to the desired frame buffer depth. Values up to 8 will usually map to
+monochrome, grayscale or pseudocolor visuals, although this is not required.
+
+- For grayscale formats, applications set the grayscale field to one. The red,
+ blue, green and transp fields must be set to 0 by applications and ignored by
+ drivers. Drivers must fill the red, blue and green offsets to 0 and lengths
+ to the bits_per_pixel value.
+
+- For pseudocolor formats, applications set the grayscale field to zero. The
+ red, blue, green and transp fields must be set to 0 by applications and
+ ignored by drivers. Drivers must fill the red, blue and green offsets to 0
+ and lengths to the bits_per_pixel value.
+
+- For truecolor and directcolor formats, applications set the grayscale field
+ to zero, and the red, blue, green and transp fields to describe the layout of
+ color components in memory.
+
+struct fb_bitfield {
+ __u32 offset; /* beginning of bitfield */
+ __u32 length; /* length of bitfield */
+ __u32 msb_right; /* != 0 : Most significant bit is */
+ /* right */
+};
+
+ Pixel values are bits_per_pixel wide and are split in non-overlapping red,
+ green, blue and alpha (transparency) components. Location and size of each
+ component in the pixel value are described by the fb_bitfield offset and
+ length fields. Offset are computed from the right.
+
+ Pixels are always stored in an integer number of bytes. If the number of
+ bits per pixel is not a multiple of 8, pixel values are padded to the next
+ multiple of 8 bits.
+
+Upon successful format configuration, drivers update the fb_fix_screeninfo
+type, visual and line_length fields depending on the selected format.
+
+
+The FOURCC-based API replaces format descriptions by four character codes
+(FOURCC). FOURCCs are abstract identifiers that uniquely define a format
+without explicitly describing it. This is the only API that supports YUV
+formats. Drivers are also encouraged to implement the FOURCC-based API for RGB
+and grayscale formats.
+
+Drivers that support the FOURCC-based API report this capability by setting
+the FB_CAP_FOURCC bit in the fb_fix_screeninfo capabilities field.
+
+FOURCC definitions are located in the linux/videodev2.h header. However, and
+despite starting with the V4L2_PIX_FMT_prefix, they are not restricted to V4L2
+and don't require usage of the V4L2 subsystem. FOURCC documentation is
+available in Documentation/DocBook/v4l/pixfmt.xml.
+
+To select a format, applications set the grayscale field to the desired FOURCC.
+For YUV formats, they should also select the appropriate colorspace by setting
+the colorspace field to one of the colorspaces listed in linux/videodev2.h and
+documented in Documentation/DocBook/v4l/colorspaces.xml.
+
+The red, green, blue and transp fields are not used with the FOURCC-based API.
+For forward compatibility reasons applications must zero those fields, and
+drivers must ignore them. Values other than 0 may get a meaning in future
+extensions.
+
+Upon successful format configuration, drivers update the fb_fix_screeninfo
+type, visual and line_length fields depending on the selected format. The type
+and visual fields are set to FB_TYPE_FOURCC and FB_VISUAL_FOURCC respectively.

+
+Fault Injection
+===============
+Fault injection is a method for forcing errors that may not normally occur, or
+may be difficult to reproduce. Forcing these errors in a controlled environment
+can help the developer find and fix bugs before their code is shipped in a
+production system. Injecting an error on the Linux NFS server will allow us to
+observe how the client reacts and if it manages to recover its state correctly.
+
+NFSD_FAULT_INJECTION must be selected when configuring the kernel to use this
+feature.
+
+
+Using Fault Injection
+=====================
+On the client, mount the fault injection server through NFS v4.0+ and do some
+work over NFS (open files, take locks, ...).
+
+On the server, mount the debugfs filesystem to <debug_dir> and ls
+<debug_dir>/nfsd. This will show a list of files that will be used for
+injecting faults on the NFS server. As root, write a number n to the file
+corresponding to the action you want the server to take. The server will then
+process the first n items it finds. So if you want to forget 5 locks, echo '5'
+to <debug_dir>/nfsd/forget_locks. A value of 0 will tell the server to forget
+all corresponding items. A log message will be created containing the number
+of items forgotten (check dmesg).
+
+Go back to work on the client and check if the client recovered from the error
+correctly.
+
+
+Available Faults
+================
+forget_clients:
+ The NFS server keeps a list of clients that have placed a mount call. If
+ this list is cleared, the server will have no knowledge of who the client
+ is, forcing the client to reauthenticate with the server.
+
+forget_openowners:
+ The NFS server keeps a list of what files are currently opened and who
+ they were opened by. Clearing this list will force the client to reopen
+ its files.
+
+forget_locks:
+ The NFS server keeps a list of what files are currently locked in the VFS.
+ Clearing this list will force the client to reclaim its locks (files are
+ unlocked through the VFS as they are cleared from this list).
+
+forget_delegations:
+ A delegation is used to assure the client that a file, or part of a file,
+ has not changed since the delegation was awarded. Clearing this list will
+ force the client to reaquire its delegation before accessing the file
+ again.
+
+recall_delegations:
+ Delegations can be recalled by the server when another client attempts to
+ access a file. This test will notify the client that its delegation has
+ been revoked, forcing the client to reaquire the delegation before using
+ the file again.
+
+
+tools/nfs/inject_faults.sh script
+=================================
+This script has been created to ease the fault injection process. This script
+will detect the mounted debugfs directory and write to the files located there
+based on the arguments passed by the user. For example, running
+`inject_faults.sh forget_locks 1` as root will instruct the server to forget
+one lock. Running `inject_faults forget_locks` will instruct the server to
+forgetall locks.

+Authors: Donggeun Kim <dg77.kim@samsung.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver allows to read temperature inside SAMSUNG EXYNOS4 series of SoC.
+
+The chip only exposes the measured 8-bit temperature code value
+through a register.
+Temperature can be taken from the temperature code.
+There are three equations converting from temperature to temperature code.
+
+The three equations are:
+ 1. Two point trimming
+ Tc = (T - 25) * (TI2 - TI1) / (85 - 25) + TI1
+
+ 2. One point trimming
+ Tc = T + TI1 - 25
+
+ 3. No trimming
+ Tc = T + 50
+
+ Tc: Temperature code, T: Temperature,
+ TI1: Trimming info for 25 degree Celsius (stored at TRIMINFO register)
+ Temperature code measured at 25 degree Celsius which is unchanged
+ TI2: Trimming info for 85 degree Celsius (stored at TRIMINFO register)
+ Temperature code measured at 85 degree Celsius which is unchanged
+
+TMU(Thermal Management Unit) in EXYNOS4 generates interrupt
+when temperature exceeds pre-defined levels.
+The maximum number of configurable threshold is four.
+The threshold levels are defined as follows:
+ Level_0: current temperature > trigger_level_0 + threshold
+ Level_1: current temperature > trigger_level_1 + threshold
+ Level_2: current temperature > trigger_level_2 + threshold
+ Level_3: current temperature > trigger_level_3 + threshold
+
+ The threshold and each trigger_level are set
+ through the corresponding registers.
+
+When an interrupt occurs, this driver notify user space of
+one of four threshold levels for the interrupt
+through kobject_uevent_env and sysfs_notify functions.
+Although an interrupt condition for level_0 can be set,
+it is not notified to user space through sysfs_notify function.

+conversion products. This flexible and highly versatile standard allows for
+communication between devices based on both analog and digital technologies, and
+provides true interoperability which will reduce design complexity and shorten
+time to market for power system designers. Pioneered by leading power supply and
+semiconductor companies, this open power system standard is maintained and
+promoted by the PMBus Implementers Forum (PMBus-IF), comprising 30+ adopters
+with the objective to provide support to, and facilitate adoption among, users.
+
+Unfortunately, while PMBus commands are standardized, there are no mandatory
+commands, and manufacturers can add as many non-standard commands as they like.
+Also, different PMBUs devices act differently if non-supported commands are
+executed. Some devices return an error, some devices return 0xff or 0xffff and
+set a status error flag, and some devices may simply hang up.
+
+Despite all those difficulties, a generic PMBus device driver is still useful
+and supported since kernel version 2.6.39. However, it was necessary to support
+device specific extensions in addition to the core PMBus driver, since it is
+simply unknown what new device specific functionality PMBus device developers
+come up with next.
+
+To make device specific extensions as scalable as possible, and to avoid having
+to modify the core PMBus driver repeatedly for new devices, the PMBus driver was
+split into core, generic, and device specific code. The core code (in
+pmbus_core.c) provides generic functionality. The generic code (in pmbus.c)
+provides support for generic PMBus devices. Device specific code is responsible
+for device specific initialization and, if needed, maps device specific
+functionality into generic functionality. This is to some degree comparable
+to PCI code, where generic code is augmented as needed with quirks for all kinds
+of devices.
+
+PMBus device capabilities auto-detection
+========================================
+
+For generic PMBus devices, code in pmbus.c attempts to auto-detect all supported
+PMBus commands. Auto-detection is somewhat limited, since there are simply too
+many variables to consider. For example, it is almost impossible to autodetect
+which PMBus commands are paged and which commands are replicated across all
+pages (see the PMBus specification for details on multi-page PMBus devices).
+
+For this reason, it often makes sense to provide a device specific driver if not
+all commands can be auto-detected. The data structures in this driver can be
+used to inform the core driver about functionality supported by individual
+chips.
+
+Some commands are always auto-detected. This applies to all limit commands
+(lcrit, min, max, and crit attributes) as well as associated alarm attributes.
+Limits and alarm attributes are auto-detected because there are simply too many
+possible combinations to provide a manual configuration interface.
+
+PMBus internal API
+==================
+
+The API between core and device specific PMBus code is defined in
+drivers/hwmon/pmbus/pmbus.h. In addition to the internal API, pmbus.h defines
+standard PMBus commands and virtual PMBus commands.
+
+Standard PMBus commands
+-----------------------
+
+Standard PMBus commands (commands values 0x00 to 0xff) are defined in the PMBUs
+specification.
+
+Virtual PMBus commands
+----------------------
+
+Virtual PMBus commands are provided to enable support for non-standard
+functionality which has been implemented by several chip vendors and is thus
+desirable to support.
+
+Virtual PMBus commands start with command value 0x100 and can thus easily be
+distinguished from standard PMBus commands (which can not have values larger
+than 0xff). Support for virtual PMBus commands is device specific and thus has
+to be implemented in device specific code.
+
+Virtual commands are named PMBUS_VIRT_xxx and start with PMBUS_VIRT_BASE. All
+virtual commands are word sized.
+
+There are currently two types of virtual commands.
+
+- READ commands are read-only; writes are either ignored or return an error.
+- RESET commands are read/write. Reading reset registers returns zero
+ (used for detection), writing any value causes the associated history to be
+ reset.
+
+Virtual commands have to be handled in device specific driver code. Chip driver
+code returns non-negative values if a virtual command is supported, or a
+negative error code if not. The chip driver may return -ENODATA or any other
+Linux error code in this case, though an error code other than -ENODATA is
+handled more efficiently and thus preferred. Either case, the calling PMBus
+core code will abort if the chip driver returns an error code when reading
+or writing virtual registers (in other words, the PMBus core code will never
+send a virtual command to a chip).
+
+PMBus driver information
+------------------------
+
+PMBus driver information, defined in struct pmbus_driver_info, is the main means
+for device specific drivers to pass information to the core PMBus driver.
+Specifically, it provides the following information.
+
+- For devices supporting its data in Direct Data Format, it provides coefficients
+ for converting register values into normalized data. This data is usually
+ provided by chip manufacturers in device datasheets.
+- Supported chip functionality can be provided to the core driver. This may be
+ necessary for chips which react badly if non-supported commands are executed,
+ and/or to speed up device detection and initialization.
+- Several function entry points are provided to support overriding and/or
+ augmenting generic command execution. This functionality can be used to map
+ non-standard PMBus commands to standard commands, or to augment standard
+ command return values with device specific information.
+
+ API functions
+ -------------
+
+ Functions provided by chip driver
+ ---------------------------------
+
+ All functions return the command return value (read) or zero (write) if
+ successful. A return value of -ENODATA indicates that there is no manufacturer
+ specific command, but that a standard PMBus command may exist. Any other
+ negative return value indicates that the commands does not exist for this
+ chip, and that no attempt should be made to read or write the standard
+ command.
+
+ As mentioned above, an exception to this rule applies to virtual commands,
+ which _must_ be handled in driver specific code. See "Virtual PMBus Commands"
+ above for more details.
+
+ Command execution in the core PMBus driver code is as follows.
+
+ if (chip_access_function) {
+ status = chip_access_function();
+ if (status != -ENODATA)
+ return status;
+ }
+ if (command >= PMBUS_VIRT_BASE) /* For word commands/registers only */
+ return -EINVAL;
+ return generic_access();
+
+ Chip drivers may provide pointers to the following functions in struct
+ pmbus_driver_info. All functions are optional.
+
+ int (*read_byte_data)(struct i2c_client *client, int page, int reg);
+
+ Read byte from page <page>, register <reg>.
+ <page> may be -1, which means "current page".
+
+ int (*read_word_data)(struct i2c_client *client, int page, int reg);
+
+ Read word from page <page>, register <reg>.
+
+ int (*write_word_data)(struct i2c_client *client, int page, int reg,
+ u16 word);
+
+ Write word to page <page>, register <reg>.
+
+ int (*write_byte)(struct i2c_client *client, int page, u8 value);
+
+ Write byte to page <page>, register <reg>.
+ <page> may be -1, which means "current page".
+
+ int (*identify)(struct i2c_client *client, struct pmbus_driver_info *info);
+
+ Determine supported PMBus functionality. This function is only necessary
+ if a chip driver supports multiple chips, and the chip functionality is not
+ pre-determined. It is currently only used by the generic pmbus driver
+ (pmbus.c).
+
+ Functions exported by core driver
+ ---------------------------------
+
+ Chip drivers are expected to use the following functions to read or write
+ PMBus registers. Chip drivers may also use direct I2C commands. If direct I2C
+ commands are used, the chip driver code must not directly modify the current
+ page, since the selected page is cached in the core driver and the core driver
+ will assume that it is selected. Using pmbus_set_page() to select a new page
+ is mandatory.
+
+ int pmbus_set_page(struct i2c_client *client, u8 page);
+
+ Set PMBus page register to <page> for subsequent commands.
+
+ int pmbus_read_word_data(struct i2c_client *client, u8 page, u8 reg);
+
+ Read word data from <page>, <reg>. Similar to i2c_smbus_read_word_data(), but
+ selects page first.
+
+ int pmbus_write_word_data(struct i2c_client *client, u8 page, u8 reg,
+ u16 word);
+
+ Write word data to <page>, <reg>. Similar to i2c_smbus_write_word_data(), but
+ selects page first.
+
+ int pmbus_read_byte_data(struct i2c_client *client, int page, u8 reg);
+
+ Read byte data from <page>, <reg>. Similar to i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(), but
+ selects page first. <page> may be -1, which means "current page".
+
+ int pmbus_write_byte(struct i2c_client *client, int page, u8 value);
+
+ Write byte data to <page>, <reg>. Similar to i2c_smbus_write_byte(), but
+ selects page first. <page> may be -1, which means "current page".
+
+ void pmbus_clear_faults(struct i2c_client *client);
+
+ Execute PMBus "Clear Fault" command on all chip pages.
+ This function calls the device specific write_byte function if defined.
+ Therefore, it must _not_ be called from that function.
+
+ bool pmbus_check_byte_register(struct i2c_client *client, int page, int reg);
+
+ Check if byte register exists. Return true if the register exists, false
+ otherwise.
+ This function calls the device specific write_byte function if defined to
+ obtain the chip status. Therefore, it must _not_ be called from that function.
+
+ bool pmbus_check_word_register(struct i2c_client *client, int page, int reg);
+
+ Check if word register exists. Return true if the register exists, false
+ otherwise.
+ This function calls the device specific write_byte function if defined to
+ obtain the chip status. Therefore, it must _not_ be called from that function.
+
+ int pmbus_do_probe(struct i2c_client *client, const struct i2c_device_id *id,
+ struct pmbus_driver_info *info);
+
+ Execute probe function. Similar to standard probe function for other drivers,
+ with the pointer to struct pmbus_driver_info as additional argument. Calls
+ identify function if supported. Must only be called from device probe
+ function.
+
+ void pmbus_do_remove(struct i2c_client *client);
+
+ Execute driver remove function. Similar to standard driver remove function.
+
+ const struct pmbus_driver_info
+ *pmbus_get_driver_info(struct i2c_client *client);
+
+ Return pointer to struct pmbus_driver_info as passed to pmbus_do_probe().
+
+
+PMBus driver platform data
+==========================
+
+PMBus platform data is defined in include/linux/i2c/pmbus.h. Platform data
+currently only provides a flag field with a single bit used.
+
+#define PMBUS_SKIP_STATUS_CHECK (1 << 0)
+
+struct pmbus_platform_data {
+ u32 flags; /* Device specific flags */
+};
+
+
+Flags
+-----
+
+PMBUS_SKIP_STATUS_CHECK
+
+During register detection, skip checking the status register for
+communication or command errors.
+
+Some PMBus chips respond with valid data when trying to read an unsupported
+register. For such chips, checking the status register is mandatory when
+trying to determine if a chip register exists or not.
+Other PMBus chips don't support the STATUS_CML register, or report
+communication errors for no explicable reason. For such chips, checking the
+status register must be disabled.
+
+Some i2c controllers do not support single-byte commands (write commands with
+no data, i2c_smbus_write_byte()). With such controllers, clearing the status
+register is impossible, and the PMBUS_SKIP_STATUS_CHECK flag must be set.

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver supports hardware montoring for Intersil / Zilker Labs ZL6100 and
+compatible digital DC-DC controllers.
+
+The driver is a client driver to the core PMBus driver. Please see
+Documentation/hwmon/pmbus and Documentation.hwmon/pmbus-core for details
+on PMBus client drivers.
+
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate the
+devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for
+details.
+
+WARNING: Do not access chip registers using the i2cdump command, and do not use
+any of the i2ctools commands on a command register used to save and restore
+configuration data (0x11, 0x12, 0x15, 0x16, and 0xf4). The chips supported by
+this driver interpret any access to those command registers (including read
+commands) as request to execute the command in question. Unless write accesses
+to those registers are protected, this may result in power loss, board resets,
+and/or Flash corruption. Worst case, your board may turn into a brick.
+
+
+Platform data support
+---------------------
+
+The driver supports standard PMBus driver platform data.
+
+
+Module parameters
+-----------------
+
+delay
+-----
+
+Some Intersil/Zilker Labs DC-DC controllers require a minimum interval between
+I2C bus accesses. According to Intersil, the minimum interval is 2 ms, though
+1 ms appears to be sufficient and has not caused any problems in testing.
+The problem is known to affect ZL6100, ZL2105, and ZL2008. It is known not to
+affect ZL2004 and ZL6105. The driver automatically sets the interval to 1 ms
+except for ZL2004 and ZL6105. To enable manual override, the driver provides a
+writeable module parameter, 'delay', which can be used to set the interval to
+a value between 0 and 65,535 microseconds.

The I2C protocol knows about two kinds of device addresses: normal 7 bit
addresses, and an extended set of 10 bit addresses. The sets of addresses
do not intersect: the 7 bit address 0x10 is not the same as the 10 bit

+ALPS Touchpad Protocol
+----------------------
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Currently the ALPS touchpad driver supports four protocol versions in use by
+ALPS touchpads, called versions 1, 2, 3, and 4. Information about the various
+protocol versions is contained in the following sections.
+
+Detection
+---------
+
+All ALPS touchpads should respond to the "E6 report" command sequence:
+E8-E6-E6-E6-E9. An ALPS touchpad should respond with either 00-00-0A or
+00-00-64.
+
+If the E6 report is successful, the touchpad model is identified using the "E7
+report" sequence: E8-E7-E7-E7-E9. The response is the model signature and is
+matched against known models in the alps_model_data_array.
+
+With protocol versions 3 and 4, the E7 report model signature is always
+73-02-64. To differentiate between these versions, the response from the
+"Enter Command Mode" sequence must be inspected as described below.
+
+Command Mode
+------------
+
+Protocol versions 3 and 4 have a command mode that is used to read and write
+one-byte device registers in a 16-bit address space. The command sequence
+EC-EC-EC-E9 places the device in command mode, and the device will respond
+with 88-07 followed by a third byte. This third byte can be used to determine
+whether the devices uses the version 3 or 4 protocol.
+
+To exit command mode, PSMOUSE_CMD_SETSTREAM (EA) is sent to the touchpad.
+
+While in command mode, register addresses can be set by first sending a
+specific command, either EC for v3 devices or F5 for v4 devices. Then the
+address is sent one nibble at a time, where each nibble is encoded as a
+command with optional data. This enoding differs slightly between the v3 and
+v4 protocols.
+
+Once an address has been set, the addressed register can be read by sending
+PSMOUSE_CMD_GETINFO (E9). The first two bytes of the response contains the
+address of the register being read, and the third contains the value of the
+register. Registers are written by writing the value one nibble at a time
+using the same encoding used for addresses.
+
+Packet Format
+-------------
+
+In the following tables, the following notation is used.
+
+ CAPITALS = stick, miniscules = touchpad
+
+?'s can have different meanings on different models, such as wheel rotation,
+extra buttons, stick buttons on a dualpoint, etc.
+
+PS/2 packet format
+------------------
+
+ byte 0: 0 0 YSGN XSGN 1 M R L
+ byte 1: X7 X6 X5 X4 X3 X2 X1 X0
+ byte 2: Y7 Y6 Y5 Y4 Y3 Y2 Y1 Y0
+
+Note that the device never signals overflow condition.
+

+ byte 1: 0 x6 x5 x4 x3 x2 x1 x0

+ byte 7: 0 y6 y5 y4 y3 y2 y1 y0
+ byte 8: 0 z6 z5 z4 z3 z2 z1 z0
+
+ALPS Absolute Mode - Protocol Version 3
+---------------------------------------
+
+ALPS protocol version 3 has three different packet formats. The first two are
+associated with touchpad events, and the third is associatd with trackstick
+events.
+
+The first type is the touchpad position packet.
+
+ byte 0: 1 ? x1 x0 1 1 1 1
+ byte 1: 0 x10 x9 x8 x7 x6 x5 x4
+ byte 2: 0 y10 y9 y8 y7 y6 y5 y4
+ byte 3: 0 M R L 1 m r l
+ byte 4: 0 mt x3 x2 y3 y2 y1 y0
+ byte 5: 0 z6 z5 z4 z3 z2 z1 z0
+
+Note that for some devices the trackstick buttons are reported in this packet,
+and on others it is reported in the trackstick packets.
+
+The second packet type contains bitmaps representing the x and y axes. In the
+bitmaps a given bit is set if there is a finger covering that position on the
+given axis. Thus the bitmap packet can be used for low-resolution multi-touch
+data, although finger tracking is not possible. This packet also encodes the
+number of contacts (f1 and f0 in the table below).
+
+ byte 0: 1 1 x1 x0 1 1 1 1
+ byte 1: 0 x8 x7 x6 x5 x4 x3 x2
+ byte 2: 0 y7 y6 y5 y4 y3 y2 y1
+ byte 3: 0 y10 y9 y8 1 1 1 1
+ byte 4: 0 x14 x13 x12 x11 x10 x9 y0
+ byte 5: 0 1 ? ? ? ? f1 f0
+
+This packet only appears after a position packet with the mt bit set, and
+ususally only appears when there are two or more contacts (although
+ocassionally it's seen with only a single contact).
+
+The final v3 packet type is the trackstick packet.
+
+ byte 0: 1 1 x7 y7 1 1 1 1
+ byte 1: 0 x6 x5 x4 x3 x2 x1 x0
+ byte 2: 0 y6 y5 y4 y3 y2 y1 y0
+ byte 3: 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0
+ byte 4: 0 z4 z3 z2 z1 z0 ? ?
+ byte 5: 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1
+
+ALPS Absolute Mode - Protocol Version 4
+---------------------------------------
+
+Protocol version 4 has an 8-byte packet format.
+
+ byte 0: 1 ? x1 x0 1 1 1 1
+ byte 1: 0 x10 x9 x8 x7 x6 x5 x4
+ byte 2: 0 y10 y9 y8 y7 y6 y5 y4
+ byte 3: 0 1 x3 x2 y3 y2 y1 y0
+ byte 4: 0 ? ? ? 1 ? r l
+ byte 5: 0 z6 z5 z4 z3 z2 z1 z0
+ byte 6: bitmap data (described below)
+ byte 7: bitmap data (described below)
+
+The last two bytes represent a partial bitmap packet, with 3 full packets
+required to construct a complete bitmap packet. Once assembled, the 6-byte
+bitmap packet has the following format:
+
+ byte 0: 0 1 x7 x6 x5 x4 x3 x2
+ byte 1: 0 x1 x0 y4 y3 y2 y1 y0
+ byte 2: 0 0 ? x14 x13 x12 x11 x10
+ byte 3: 0 x9 x8 y9 y8 y7 y6 y5
+ byte 4: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
+ byte 5: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 y10
+
+There are several things worth noting here.
+
+ 1) In the bitmap data, bit 6 of byte 0 serves as a sync byte to
+ identify the first fragment of a bitmap packet.
+
+ 2) The bitmaps represent the same data as in the v3 bitmap packets, although
+ the packet layout is different.
+
+ 3) There doesn't seem to be a count of the contact points anywhere in the v4
+ protocol packets. Deriving a count of contact points must be done by
+ analyzing the bitmaps.
+
+ 4) There is a 3 to 1 ratio of position packets to bitmap packets. Therefore
+ MT position can only be updated for every third ST position update, and
+ the count of contact points can only be updated every third packet as
+ well.
+
+So far no v4 devices with tracksticks have been encountered.

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+v4 hardware is a true multitouch touchpad, capable of tracking up to 5 fingers.
+Unfortunately, due to PS/2's limited bandwidth, its packet format is rather
+complex.
+
+Whenever the numbers or identities of the fingers changes, the hardware sends a
+status packet to indicate how many and which fingers is on touchpad, followed by
+head packets or motion packets. A head packet contains data of finger id, finger
+position (absolute x, y values), width, and pressure. A motion packet contains
+two fingers' position delta.
+
+For example, when status packet tells there are 2 fingers on touchpad, then we
+can expect two following head packets. If the finger status doesn't change,
+the following packets would be motion packets, only sending delta of finger
+position, until we receive a status packet.
+
+One exception is one finger touch. when a status packet tells us there is only
+one finger, the hardware would just send head packets afterwards.

+Driver for tilt-switches connected via GPIOs
+============================================
+
+Generic driver to read data from tilt switches connected via gpios.
+Orientation can be provided by one or more than one tilt switches,
+i.e. each tilt switch providing one axis, and the number of axes
+is also not limited.
+
+
+Data structures:
+----------------
+
+The array of struct gpio in the gpios field is used to list the gpios
+that represent the current tilt state.
+
+The array of struct gpio_tilt_axis describes the axes that are reported
+to the input system. The values set therein are used for the
+input_set_abs_params calls needed to init the axes.
+
+The array of struct gpio_tilt_state maps gpio states to the corresponding
+values to report. The gpio state is represented as a bitfield where the
+bit-index corresponds to the index of the gpio in the struct gpio array.
+In the same manner the values stored in the axes array correspond to
+the elements of the gpio_tilt_axis-array.
+
+
+Example:
+--------
+
+Example configuration for a single TS1003 tilt switch that rotates around
+one axis in 4 steps and emitts the current tilt via two GPIOs.

+slot by changing its ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID. If the hardware signals that it is
+tracking more contacts than it is currently reporting, the driver should use
+a BTN_TOOL_*TAP event to inform userspace of the total number of contacts
+being tracked by the hardware at that moment. The driver should do this by
+explicitly sending the corresponding BTN_TOOL_*TAP event and setting
+use_count to false when calling input_mt_report_pointer_emulation().
+The driver should only advertise as many slots as the hardware can report.
+Userspace can detect that a driver can report more total contacts than slots
+by noting that the largest supported BTN_TOOL_*TAP event is larger than the
+total number of type B slots reported in the absinfo for the ABS_MT_SLOT axis.

+* Programming Sequence for Page Register Reading/Writing
+==============================================================================
+
+ In order to overcome the limitation of maximum number of registers
+supported, the hardware separates register into different groups called
+'pages.' Each page is able to include up to 255 registers.
+
+ The default page after power up is 0x82; therefore, if one has to get
+access to register 0x8301, one has to use following sequence to switch
+to page 0x83, then start reading/writing from/to offset 0x01 by using
+the register read/write sequence described in previous section.
+
+Page register reading sequence:
+
+ 1. send 0xf3 PS/2 command to FSP;
+
+ 2. send 0x66 PS/2 command to FSP;

+* Gesture ID
+==============================================================================
+
+ Unlike other devices which sends multiple fingers' coordinates to host,
+FSP processes multiple fingers' coordinates internally and convert them
+into a 8 bits integer, namely 'Gesture ID.' Following is a list of
+supported gesture IDs:
+
+ ID Description

table, which hash-table can be checked in a lockfree manner. If the
locking chain occurs again later on, the hash table tells us that we
dont have to validate the chain again.
+
+Troubleshooting:
+----------------
+
+The validator tracks a maximum of MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS number of lock classes.
+Exceeding this number will trigger the following lockdep warning:
+
+ (DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(id >= MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS))
+
+By default, MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS is currently set to 8191, and typical
+desktop systems have less than 1,000 lock classes, so this warning
+normally results from lock-class leakage or failure to properly
+initialize locks. These two problems are illustrated below:
+
+1. Repeated module loading and unloading while running the validator
+ will result in lock-class leakage. The issue here is that each
+ load of the module will create a new set of lock classes for
+ that module's locks, but module unloading does not remove old
+ classes (see below discussion of reuse of lock classes for why).
+ Therefore, if that module is loaded and unloaded repeatedly,
+ the number of lock classes will eventually reach the maximum.
+
+2. Using structures such as arrays that have large numbers of
+ locks that are not explicitly initialized. For example,
+ a hash table with 8192 buckets where each bucket has its own
+ spinlock_t will consume 8192 lock classes -unless- each spinlock
+ is explicitly initialized at runtime, for example, using the
+ run-time spin_lock_init() as opposed to compile-time initializers
+ such as __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(). Failure to properly initialize
+ the per-bucket spinlocks would guarantee lock-class overflow.
+ In contrast, a loop that called spin_lock_init() on each lock
+ would place all 8192 locks into a single lock class.
+
+ The moral of this story is that you should always explicitly
+ initialize your locks.
+
+One might argue that the validator should be modified to allow
+lock classes to be reused. However, if you are tempted to make this
+argument, first review the code and think through the changes that would
+be required, keeping in mind that the lock classes to be removed are
+likely to be linked into the lock-dependency graph. This turns out to
+be harder to do than to say.
+
+Of course, if you do run out of lock classes, the next thing to do is
+to find the offending lock classes. First, the following command gives
+you the number of lock classes currently in use along with the maximum:
+
+ grep "lock-classes" /proc/lockdep_stats
+
+This command produces the following output on a modest system:
+
+ lock-classes: 748 [max: 8191]
+
+If the number allocated (748 above) increases continually over time,
+then there is likely a leak. The following command can be used to
+identify the leaking lock classes:
+
+ grep "BD" /proc/lockdep
+
+Run the command and save the output, then compare against the output from
+a later run of this command to identify the leakers. This same output
+can also help you find situations where runtime lock initialization has
+been omitted.

+6LoWPAN Linux implementation
+============================
+
+The IEEE 802.15.4 standard specifies an MTU of 128 bytes, yielding about 80
+octets of actual MAC payload once security is turned on, on a wireless link
+with a link throughput of 250 kbps or less. The 6LoWPAN adaptation format
+[RFC4944] was specified to carry IPv6 datagrams over such constrained links,
+taking into account limited bandwidth, memory, or energy resources that are
+expected in applications such as wireless Sensor Networks. [RFC4944] defines
+a Mesh Addressing header to support sub-IP forwarding, a Fragmentation header
+to support the IPv6 minimum MTU requirement [RFC2460], and stateless header
+compression for IPv6 datagrams (LOWPAN_HC1 and LOWPAN_HC2) to reduce the
+relatively large IPv6 and UDP headers down to (in the best case) several bytes.
+
+In Semptember 2011 the standard update was published - [RFC6282].
+It deprecates HC1 and HC2 compression and defines IPHC encoding format which is
+used in this Linux implementation.
+
+All the code related to 6lowpan you may find in files: net/ieee802154/6lowpan.*
+
+To setup 6lowpan interface you need (busybox release > 1.17.0):
+1. Add IEEE802.15.4 interface and initialize PANid;
+2. Add 6lowpan interface by command like:
+ # ip link add link wpan0 name lowpan0 type lowpan
+3. Set MAC (if needs):
+ # ip link set lowpan0 address de:ad:be:ef:ca:fe:ba:be

+Open vSwitch datapath developer documentation
+=============================================
+
+The Open vSwitch kernel module allows flexible userspace control over
+flow-level packet processing on selected network devices. It can be
+used to implement a plain Ethernet switch, network device bonding,
+VLAN processing, network access control, flow-based network control,
+and so on.
+
+The kernel module implements multiple "datapaths" (analogous to
+bridges), each of which can have multiple "vports" (analogous to ports
+within a bridge). Each datapath also has associated with it a "flow
+table" that userspace populates with "flows" that map from keys based
+on packet headers and metadata to sets of actions. The most common
+action forwards the packet to another vport; other actions are also
+implemented.
+
+When a packet arrives on a vport, the kernel module processes it by
+extracting its flow key and looking it up in the flow table. If there
+is a matching flow, it executes the associated actions. If there is
+no match, it queues the packet to userspace for processing (as part of
+its processing, userspace will likely set up a flow to handle further
+packets of the same type entirely in-kernel).
+
+
+Flow key compatibility
+----------------------
+
+Network protocols evolve over time. New protocols become important
+and existing protocols lose their prominence. For the Open vSwitch
+kernel module to remain relevant, it must be possible for newer
+versions to parse additional protocols as part of the flow key. It
+might even be desirable, someday, to drop support for parsing
+protocols that have become obsolete. Therefore, the Netlink interface
+to Open vSwitch is designed to allow carefully written userspace
+applications to work with any version of the flow key, past or future.
+
+To support this forward and backward compatibility, whenever the
+kernel module passes a packet to userspace, it also passes along the
+flow key that it parsed from the packet. Userspace then extracts its
+own notion of a flow key from the packet and compares it against the
+kernel-provided version:
+
+ - If userspace's notion of the flow key for the packet matches the
+ kernel's, then nothing special is necessary.
+
+ - If the kernel's flow key includes more fields than the userspace
+ version of the flow key, for example if the kernel decoded IPv6
+ headers but userspace stopped at the Ethernet type (because it
+ does not understand IPv6), then again nothing special is
+ necessary. Userspace can still set up a flow in the usual way,
+ as long as it uses the kernel-provided flow key to do it.
+
+ - If the userspace flow key includes more fields than the
+ kernel's, for example if userspace decoded an IPv6 header but
+ the kernel stopped at the Ethernet type, then userspace can
+ forward the packet manually, without setting up a flow in the
+ kernel. This case is bad for performance because every packet
+ that the kernel considers part of the flow must go to userspace,
+ but the forwarding behavior is correct. (If userspace can
+ determine that the values of the extra fields would not affect
+ forwarding behavior, then it could set up a flow anyway.)
+
+How flow keys evolve over time is important to making this work, so
+the following sections go into detail.
+
+
+Flow key format
+---------------
+
+A flow key is passed over a Netlink socket as a sequence of Netlink
+attributes. Some attributes represent packet metadata, defined as any
+information about a packet that cannot be extracted from the packet
+itself, e.g. the vport on which the packet was received. Most
+attributes, however, are extracted from headers within the packet,
+e.g. source and destination addresses from Ethernet, IP, or TCP
+headers.
+
+The <linux/openvswitch.h> header file defines the exact format of the
+flow key attributes. For informal explanatory purposes here, we write
+them as comma-separated strings, with parentheses indicating arguments
+and nesting. For example, the following could represent a flow key
+corresponding to a TCP packet that arrived on vport 1:
+
+ in_port(1), eth(src=e0:91:f5:21:d0:b2, dst=00:02:e3:0f:80:a4),
+ eth_type(0x0800), ipv4(src=172.16.0.20, dst=172.18.0.52, proto=17, tos=0,
+ frag=no), tcp(src=49163, dst=80)
+
+Often we ellipsize arguments not important to the discussion, e.g.:
+
+ in_port(1), eth(...), eth_type(0x0800), ipv4(...), tcp(...)
+
+
+Basic rule for evolving flow keys
+---------------------------------
+
+Some care is needed to really maintain forward and backward
+compatibility for applications that follow the rules listed under
+"Flow key compatibility" above.
+
+The basic rule is obvious:
+
+ ------------------------------------------------------------------
+ New network protocol support must only supplement existing flow
+ key attributes. It must not change the meaning of already defined
+ flow key attributes.
+ ------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This rule does have less-obvious consequences so it is worth working
+through a few examples. Suppose, for example, that the kernel module
+did not already implement VLAN parsing. Instead, it just interpreted
+the 802.1Q TPID (0x8100) as the Ethertype then stopped parsing the
+packet. The flow key for any packet with an 802.1Q header would look
+essentially like this, ignoring metadata:
+
+ eth(...), eth_type(0x8100)
+
+Naively, to add VLAN support, it makes sense to add a new "vlan" flow
+key attribute to contain the VLAN tag, then continue to decode the
+encapsulated headers beyond the VLAN tag using the existing field
+definitions. With this change, an TCP packet in VLAN 10 would have a
+flow key much like this:
+
+ eth(...), vlan(vid=10, pcp=0), eth_type(0x0800), ip(proto=6, ...), tcp(...)
+
+But this change would negatively affect a userspace application that
+has not been updated to understand the new "vlan" flow key attribute.
+The application could, following the flow compatibility rules above,
+ignore the "vlan" attribute that it does not understand and therefore
+assume that the flow contained IP packets. This is a bad assumption
+(the flow only contains IP packets if one parses and skips over the
+802.1Q header) and it could cause the application's behavior to change
+across kernel versions even though it follows the compatibility rules.
+
+The solution is to use a set of nested attributes. This is, for
+example, why 802.1Q support uses nested attributes. A TCP packet in
+VLAN 10 is actually expressed as:
+
+ eth(...), eth_type(0x8100), vlan(vid=10, pcp=0), encap(eth_type(0x0800),
+ ip(proto=6, ...), tcp(...)))
+
+Notice how the "eth_type", "ip", and "tcp" flow key attributes are
+nested inside the "encap" attribute. Thus, an application that does
+not understand the "vlan" key will not see either of those attributes
+and therefore will not misinterpret them. (Also, the outer eth_type
+is still 0x8100, not changed to 0x0800.)
+
+Handling malformed packets
+--------------------------
+
+Don't drop packets in the kernel for malformed protocol headers, bad
+checksums, etc. This would prevent userspace from implementing a
+simple Ethernet switch that forwards every packet.
+
+Instead, in such a case, include an attribute with "empty" content.
+It doesn't matter if the empty content could be valid protocol values,
+as long as those values are rarely seen in practice, because userspace
+can always forward all packets with those values to userspace and
+handle them individually.
+
+For example, consider a packet that contains an IP header that
+indicates protocol 6 for TCP, but which is truncated just after the IP
+header, so that the TCP header is missing. The flow key for this
+packet would include a tcp attribute with all-zero src and dst, like
+this:
+
+ eth(...), eth_type(0x0800), ip(proto=6, ...), tcp(src=0, dst=0)
+
+As another example, consider a packet with an Ethernet type of 0x8100,
+indicating that a VLAN TCI should follow, but which is truncated just
+after the Ethernet type. The flow key for this packet would include
+an all-zero-bits vlan and an empty encap attribute, like this:
+
+ eth(...), eth_type(0x8100), vlan(0), encap()
+
+Unlike a TCP packet with source and destination ports 0, an
+all-zero-bits VLAN TCI is not that rare, so the CFI bit (aka
+VLAN_TAG_PRESENT inside the kernel) is ordinarily set in a vlan
+attribute expressly to allow this situation to be distinguished.
+Thus, the flow key in this second example unambiguously indicates a
+missing or malformed VLAN TCI.
+
+Other rules
+-----------
+
+The other rules for flow keys are much less subtle:
+
+ - Duplicate attributes are not allowed at a given nesting level.
+
+ - Ordering of attributes is not significant.
+
+ - When the kernel sends a given flow key to userspace, it always
+ composes it the same way. This allows userspace to hash and
+ compare entire flow keys that it may not be able to fully
+ interpret.

+
+Top-level interface
+===================
+
+Definition of PIN CONTROLLER:
+
+- A pin controller is a piece of hardware, usually a set of registers, that
+ can control PINs. It may be able to multiplex, bias, set load capacitance,
+ set drive strength etc for individual pins or groups of pins.
+
+Definition of PIN:
+
+- PINS are equal to pads, fingers, balls or whatever packaging input or
+ output line you want to control and these are denoted by unsigned integers
+ in the range 0..maxpin. This numberspace is local to each PIN CONTROLLER, so
+ there may be several such number spaces in a system. This pin space may
+ be sparse - i.e. there may be gaps in the space with numbers where no
+ pin exists.
+
+When a PIN CONTROLLER is instantiated, it will register a descriptor to the
+pin control framework, and this descriptor contains an array of pin descriptors
+describing the pins handled by this specific pin controller.
+
+Here is an example of a PGA (Pin Grid Array) chip seen from underneath:

+ 1 o o o o o o o o
+
+To register a pin controller and name all the pins on this package we can do
+this in our driver:
+
+#include <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h>
+
+const struct pinctrl_pin_desc foo_pins[] = {
+ PINCTRL_PIN(0, "A8"),
+ PINCTRL_PIN(1, "B8"),
+ PINCTRL_PIN(2, "C8"),
+ ...
+ PINCTRL_PIN(61, "F1"),
+ PINCTRL_PIN(62, "G1"),
+ PINCTRL_PIN(63, "H1"),
+};
+
+static struct pinctrl_desc foo_desc = {
+ .name = "foo",
+ .pins = foo_pins,
+ .npins = ARRAY_SIZE(foo_pins),
+ .maxpin = 63,
+ .owner = THIS_MODULE,
+};
+
+int __init foo_probe(void)
+{
+ struct pinctrl_dev *pctl;
+
+ pctl = pinctrl_register(&foo_desc, <PARENT>, NULL);
+ if (IS_ERR(pctl))
+ pr_err("could not register foo pin driver\n");
+}
+
+To enable the pinctrl subsystem and the subgroups for PINMUX and PINCONF and
+selected drivers, you need to select them from your machine's Kconfig entry,
+since these are so tightly integrated with the machines they are used on.
+See for example arch/arm/mach-u300/Kconfig for an example.
+
+Pins usually have fancier names than this. You can find these in the dataheet
+for your chip. Notice that the core pinctrl.h file provides a fancy macro
+called PINCTRL_PIN() to create the struct entries. As you can see I enumerated
+the pins from 0 in the upper left corner to 63 in the lower right corner.
+This enumeration was arbitrarily chosen, in practice you need to think
+through your numbering system so that it matches the layout of registers
+and such things in your driver, or the code may become complicated. You must
+also consider matching of offsets to the GPIO ranges that may be handled by
+the pin controller.
+
+For a padring with 467 pads, as opposed to actual pins, I used an enumeration
+like this, walking around the edge of the chip, which seems to be industry
+standard too (all these pads had names, too):
+
+
+ 0 ..... 104
+ 466 105
+ . .
+ . .
+ 358 224
+ 357 .... 225
+
+
+Pin groups
+==========
+
+Many controllers need to deal with groups of pins, so the pin controller
+subsystem has a mechanism for enumerating groups of pins and retrieving the
+actual enumerated pins that are part of a certain group.
+
+For example, say that we have a group of pins dealing with an SPI interface
+on { 0, 8, 16, 24 }, and a group of pins dealing with an I2C interface on pins
+on { 24, 25 }.
+
+These two groups are presented to the pin control subsystem by implementing
+some generic pinctrl_ops like this:
+
+#include <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h>
+
+struct foo_group {
+ const char *name;
+ const unsigned int *pins;
+ const unsigned num_pins;
+};
+
+static const unsigned int spi0_pins[] = { 0, 8, 16, 24 };
+static const unsigned int i2c0_pins[] = { 24, 25 };
+
+static const struct foo_group foo_groups[] = {
+ {
+ .name = "spi0_grp",
+ .pins = spi0_pins,
+ .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(spi0_pins),
+ },
+ {
+ .name = "i2c0_grp",
+ .pins = i2c0_pins,
+ .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(i2c0_pins),
+ },
+};
+
+
+static int foo_list_groups(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector)
+{
+ if (selector >= ARRAY_SIZE(foo_groups))
+ return -EINVAL;
+ return 0;
+}
+
+static const char *foo_get_group_name(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev,
+ unsigned selector)
+{
+ return foo_groups[selector].name;
+}
+
+static int foo_get_group_pins(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector,
+ unsigned ** const pins,
+ unsigned * const num_pins)
+{
+ *pins = (unsigned *) foo_groups[selector].pins;
+ *num_pins = foo_groups[selector].num_pins;
+ return 0;
+}
+
+static struct pinctrl_ops foo_pctrl_ops = {
+ .list_groups = foo_list_groups,
+ .get_group_name = foo_get_group_name,
+ .get_group_pins = foo_get_group_pins,
+};
+
+
+static struct pinctrl_desc foo_desc = {
+ ...
+ .pctlops = &foo_pctrl_ops,
+};
+
+The pin control subsystem will call the .list_groups() function repeatedly
+beginning on 0 until it returns non-zero to determine legal selectors, then
+it will call the other functions to retrieve the name and pins of the group.
+Maintaining the data structure of the groups is up to the driver, this is
+just a simple example - in practice you may need more entries in your group
+structure, for example specific register ranges associated with each group
+and so on.
+
+
+Pin configuration
+=================
+
+Pins can sometimes be software-configured in an various ways, mostly related
+to their electronic properties when used as inputs or outputs. For example you
+may be able to make an output pin high impedance, or "tristate" meaning it is
+effectively disconnected. You may be able to connect an input pin to VDD or GND
+using a certain resistor value - pull up and pull down - so that the pin has a
+stable value when nothing is driving the rail it is connected to, or when it's
+unconnected.
+
+For example, a platform may do this:
+
+ret = pin_config_set("foo-dev", "FOO_GPIO_PIN", PLATFORM_X_PULL_UP);
+
+To pull up a pin to VDD. The pin configuration driver implements callbacks for
+changing pin configuration in the pin controller ops like this:
+
+#include <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h>
+#include <linux/pinctrl/pinconf.h>

+Since some controllers have special logic for handling entire groups of pins

+for groups it does not want to handle, or if it just wants to do some
+group-level handling and then fall through to iterate over all pins, in which
+case each individual pin will be treated by separate pin_config_set() calls as
+well.
+
+
+Interaction with the GPIO subsystem
+===================================
+
+The GPIO drivers may want to perform operations of various types on the same
+physical pins that are also registered as pin controller pins.
+
+Since the pin controller subsystem have its pinspace local to the pin
+controller we need a mapping so that the pin control subsystem can figure out
+which pin controller handles control of a certain GPIO pin. Since a single
+pin controller may be muxing several GPIO ranges (typically SoCs that have
+one set of pins but internally several GPIO silicon blocks, each modeled as
+a struct gpio_chip) any number of GPIO ranges can be added to a pin controller
+instance like this:
+
+struct gpio_chip chip_a;
+struct gpio_chip chip_b;
+
+static struct pinctrl_gpio_range gpio_range_a = {
+ .name = "chip a",
+ .id = 0,
+ .base = 32,
+ .pin_base = 32,
+ .npins = 16,
+ .gc = &chip_a;
+};
+
+static struct pinctrl_gpio_range gpio_range_b = {
+ .name = "chip b",
+ .id = 0,
+ .base = 48,
+ .pin_base = 64,
+ .npins = 8,
+ .gc = &chip_b;
+};
+
+{
+ struct pinctrl_dev *pctl;
+ ...
+ pinctrl_add_gpio_range(pctl, &gpio_range_a);
+ pinctrl_add_gpio_range(pctl, &gpio_range_b);
+}
+
+So this complex system has one pin controller handling two different
+GPIO chips. "chip a" has 16 pins and "chip b" has 8 pins. The "chip a" and
+"chip b" have different .pin_base, which means a start pin number of the
+GPIO range.
+
+The GPIO range of "chip a" starts from the GPIO base of 32 and actual
+pin range also starts from 32. However "chip b" has different starting
+offset for the GPIO range and pin range. The GPIO range of "chip b" starts
+from GPIO number 48, while the pin range of "chip b" starts from 64.
+
+We can convert a gpio number to actual pin number using this "pin_base".
+They are mapped in the global GPIO pin space at:
+
+chip a:
+ - GPIO range : [32 .. 47]
+ - pin range : [32 .. 47]
+chip b:
+ - GPIO range : [48 .. 55]
+ - pin range : [64 .. 71]
+
+When GPIO-specific functions in the pin control subsystem are called, these
+ranges will be used to look up the appropriate pin controller by inspecting
+and matching the pin to the pin ranges across all controllers. When a
+pin controller handling the matching range is found, GPIO-specific functions
+will be called on that specific pin controller.
+
+For all functionalities dealing with pin biasing, pin muxing etc, the pin
+controller subsystem will subtract the range's .base offset from the passed
+in gpio number, and add the ranges's .pin_base offset to retrive a pin number.
+After that, the subsystem passes it on to the pin control driver, so the driver
+will get an pin number into its handled number range. Further it is also passed
+the range ID value, so that the pin controller knows which range it should
+deal with.
+
+PINMUX interfaces
+=================
+
+These calls use the pinmux_* naming prefix. No other calls should use that
+prefix.
+
+
+What is pinmuxing?
+==================
+
+PINMUX, also known as padmux, ballmux, alternate functions or mission modes
+is a way for chip vendors producing some kind of electrical packages to use
+a certain physical pin (ball, pad, finger, etc) for multiple mutually exclusive
+functions, depending on the application. By "application" in this context
+we usually mean a way of soldering or wiring the package into an electronic
+system, even though the framework makes it possible to also change the function
+at runtime.
+
+Here is an example of a PGA (Pin Grid Array) chip seen from underneath:
+
+ A B C D E F G H
+ +---+
+ 8 | o | o o o o o o o
+ | |
+ 7 | o | o o o o o o o
+ | |
+ 6 | o | o o o o o o o
+ +---+---+
+ 5 | o | o | o o o o o o
+ +---+---+ +---+
+ 4 o o o o o o | o | o
+ | |
+ 3 o o o o o o | o | o
+ | |
+ 2 o o o o o o | o | o
+ +-------+-------+-------+---+---+
+ 1 | o o | o o | o o | o | o |
+ +-------+-------+-------+---+---+
+
+This is not tetris. The game to think of is chess. Not all PGA/BGA packages
+are chessboard-like, big ones have "holes" in some arrangement according to
+different design patterns, but we're using this as a simple example. Of the
+pins you see some will be taken by things like a few VCC and GND to feed power
+to the chip, and quite a few will be taken by large ports like an external
+memory interface. The remaining pins will often be subject to pin multiplexing.
+
+The example 8x8 PGA package above will have pin numbers 0 thru 63 assigned to
+its physical pins. It will name the pins { A1, A2, A3 ... H6, H7, H8 } using
+pinctrl_register_pins() and a suitable data set as shown earlier.
+
+In this 8x8 BGA package the pins { A8, A7, A6, A5 } can be used as an SPI port
+(these are four pins: CLK, RXD, TXD, FRM). In that case, pin B5 can be used as
+some general-purpose GPIO pin. However, in another setting, pins { A5, B5 } can
+be used as an I2C port (these are just two pins: SCL, SDA). Needless to say,
+we cannot use the SPI port and I2C port at the same time. However in the inside
+of the package the silicon performing the SPI logic can alternatively be routed
+out on pins { G4, G3, G2, G1 }.
+
+On the botton row at { A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1, G1, H1 } we have something
+special - it's an external MMC bus that can be 2, 4 or 8 bits wide, and it will
+consume 2, 4 or 8 pins respectively, so either { A1, B1 } are taken or
+{ A1, B1, C1, D1 } or all of them. If we use all 8 bits, we cannot use the SPI
+port on pins { G4, G3, G2, G1 } of course.
+
+This way the silicon blocks present inside the chip can be multiplexed "muxed"
+out on different pin ranges. Often contemporary SoC (systems on chip) will
+contain several I2C, SPI, SDIO/MMC, etc silicon blocks that can be routed to
+different pins by pinmux settings.
+
+Since general-purpose I/O pins (GPIO) are typically always in shortage, it is
+common to be able to use almost any pin as a GPIO pin if it is not currently
+in use by some other I/O port.
+
+
+Pinmux conventions
+==================
+
+The purpose of the pinmux functionality in the pin controller subsystem is to
+abstract and provide pinmux settings to the devices you choose to instantiate
+in your machine configuration. It is inspired by the clk, GPIO and regulator
+subsystems, so devices will request their mux setting, but it's also possible
+to request a single pin for e.g. GPIO.
+
+Definitions:
+
+- FUNCTIONS can be switched in and out by a driver residing with the pin
+ control subsystem in the drivers/pinctrl/* directory of the kernel. The
+ pin control driver knows the possible functions. In the example above you can
+ identify three pinmux functions, one for spi, one for i2c and one for mmc.
+
+- FUNCTIONS are assumed to be enumerable from zero in a one-dimensional array.
+ In this case the array could be something like: { spi0, i2c0, mmc0 }
+ for the three available functions.
+
+- FUNCTIONS have PIN GROUPS as defined on the generic level - so a certain
+ function is *always* associated with a certain set of pin groups, could
+ be just a single one, but could also be many. In the example above the
+ function i2c is associated with the pins { A5, B5 }, enumerated as
+ { 24, 25 } in the controller pin space.
+
+ The Function spi is associated with pin groups { A8, A7, A6, A5 }
+ and { G4, G3, G2, G1 }, which are enumerated as { 0, 8, 16, 24 } and
+ { 38, 46, 54, 62 } respectively.
+
+ Group names must be unique per pin controller, no two groups on the same
+ controller may have the same name.
+
+- The combination of a FUNCTION and a PIN GROUP determine a certain function
+ for a certain set of pins. The knowledge of the functions and pin groups
+ and their machine-specific particulars are kept inside the pinmux driver,
+ from the outside only the enumerators are known, and the driver core can:
+
+ - Request the name of a function with a certain selector (>= 0)
+ - A list of groups associated with a certain function
+ - Request that a certain group in that list to be activated for a certain
+ function
+
+ As already described above, pin groups are in turn self-descriptive, so
+ the core will retrieve the actual pin range in a certain group from the
+ driver.
+
+- FUNCTIONS and GROUPS on a certain PIN CONTROLLER are MAPPED to a certain
+ device by the board file, device tree or similar machine setup configuration
+ mechanism, similar to how regulators are connected to devices, usually by
+ name. Defining a pin controller, function and group thus uniquely identify
+ the set of pins to be used by a certain device. (If only one possible group
+ of pins is available for the function, no group name need to be supplied -
+ the core will simply select the first and only group available.)
+
+ In the example case we can define that this particular machine shall
+ use device spi0 with pinmux function fspi0 group gspi0 and i2c0 on function
+ fi2c0 group gi2c0, on the primary pin controller, we get mappings
+ like these:
+
+ {
+ {"map-spi0", spi0, pinctrl0, fspi0, gspi0},
+ {"map-i2c0", i2c0, pinctrl0, fi2c0, gi2c0}
+ }
+
+ Every map must be assigned a symbolic name, pin controller and function.
+ The group is not compulsory - if it is omitted the first group presented by
+ the driver as applicable for the function will be selected, which is
+ useful for simple cases.
+
+ The device name is present in map entries tied to specific devices. Maps
+ without device names are referred to as SYSTEM pinmuxes, such as can be taken
+ by the machine implementation on boot and not tied to any specific device.
+
+ It is possible to map several groups to the same combination of device,
+ pin controller and function. This is for cases where a certain function on
+ a certain pin controller may use different sets of pins in different
+ configurations.
+
+- PINS for a certain FUNCTION using a certain PIN GROUP on a certain
+ PIN CONTROLLER are provided on a first-come first-serve basis, so if some
+ other device mux setting or GPIO pin request has already taken your physical
+ pin, you will be denied the use of it. To get (activate) a new setting, the
+ old one has to be put (deactivated) first.
+
+Sometimes the documentation and hardware registers will be oriented around
+pads (or "fingers") rather than pins - these are the soldering surfaces on the
+silicon inside the package, and may or may not match the actual number of
+pins/balls underneath the capsule. Pick some enumeration that makes sense to
+you. Define enumerators only for the pins you can control if that makes sense.
+
+Assumptions:
+
+We assume that the number of possible function maps to pin groups is limited by
+the hardware. I.e. we assume that there is no system where any function can be
+mapped to any pin, like in a phone exchange. So the available pins groups for
+a certain function will be limited to a few choices (say up to eight or so),
+not hundreds or any amount of choices. This is the characteristic we have found
+by inspecting available pinmux hardware, and a necessary assumption since we
+expect pinmux drivers to present *all* possible function vs pin group mappings
+to the subsystem.
+
+
+Pinmux drivers
+==============
+
+The pinmux core takes care of preventing conflicts on pins and calling
+the pin controller driver to execute different settings.
+
+It is the responsibility of the pinmux driver to impose further restrictions
+(say for example infer electronic limitations due to load etc) to determine
+whether or not the requested function can actually be allowed, and in case it
+is possible to perform the requested mux setting, poke the hardware so that
+this happens.
+
+Pinmux drivers are required to supply a few callback functions, some are
+optional. Usually the enable() and disable() functions are implemented,
+writing values into some certain registers to activate a certain mux setting
+for a certain pin.
+
+A simple driver for the above example will work by setting bits 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4
+into some register named MUX to select a certain function with a certain
+group of pins would work something like this:
+
+#include <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h>

+
+In the example activating muxing 0 and 1 at the same time setting bits
+0 and 1, uses one pin in common so they would collide.
+
+The beauty of the pinmux subsystem is that since it keeps track of all
+pins and who is using them, it will already have denied an impossible
+request like that, so the driver does not need to worry about such
+things - when it gets a selector passed in, the pinmux subsystem makes
+sure no other device or GPIO assignment is already using the selected
+pins. Thus bits 0 and 1 in the control register will never be set at the
+same time.
+
+All the above functions are mandatory to implement for a pinmux driver.
+
+
+Pinmux interaction with the GPIO subsystem
+==========================================
+
+The public pinmux API contains two functions named pinmux_request_gpio()
+and pinmux_free_gpio(). These two functions shall *ONLY* be called from
+gpiolib-based drivers as part of their gpio_request() and
+gpio_free() semantics. Likewise the pinmux_gpio_direction_[input|output]
+shall only be called from within respective gpio_direction_[input|output]
+gpiolib implementation.
+
+NOTE that platforms and individual drivers shall *NOT* request GPIO pins to be
+muxed in. Instead, implement a proper gpiolib driver and have that driver
+request proper muxing for its pins.
+
+The function list could become long, especially if you can convert every
+individual pin into a GPIO pin independent of any other pins, and then try
+the approach to define every pin as a function.
+
+In this case, the function array would become 64 entries for each GPIO
+setting and then the device functions.
+
+For this reason there are two functions a pinmux driver can implement
+to enable only GPIO on an individual pin: .gpio_request_enable() and
+.gpio_disable_free().
+
+This function will pass in the affected GPIO range identified by the pin
+controller core, so you know which GPIO pins are being affected by the request
+operation.
+
+If your driver needs to have an indication from the framework of whether the
+GPIO pin shall be used for input or output you can implement the
+.gpio_set_direction() function. As described this shall be called from the
+gpiolib driver and the affected GPIO range, pin offset and desired direction
+will be passed along to this function.
+
+Alternatively to using these special functions, it is fully allowed to use
+named functions for each GPIO pin, the pinmux_request_gpio() will attempt to
+obtain the function "gpioN" where "N" is the global GPIO pin number if no
+special GPIO-handler is registered.
+
+
+Pinmux board/machine configuration
+==================================
+
+Boards and machines define how a certain complete running system is put
+together, including how GPIOs and devices are muxed, how regulators are
+constrained and how the clock tree looks. Of course pinmux settings are also
+part of this.
+
+A pinmux config for a machine looks pretty much like a simple regulator
+configuration, so for the example array above we want to enable i2c and
+spi on the second function mapping:
+
+#include <linux/pinctrl/machine.h>
+
+static const struct pinmux_map __initdata pmx_mapping[] = {
+ {
+ .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
+ .function = "spi0",
+ .dev_name = "foo-spi.0",
+ },
+ {
+ .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
+ .function = "i2c0",
+ .dev_name = "foo-i2c.0",
+ },
+ {
+ .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
+ .function = "mmc0",
+ .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0",
+ },
+};
+
+The dev_name here matches to the unique device name that can be used to look
+up the device struct (just like with clockdev or regulators). The function name
+must match a function provided by the pinmux driver handling this pin range.
+
+As you can see we may have several pin controllers on the system and thus
+we need to specify which one of them that contain the functions we wish
+to map. The map can also use struct device * directly, so there is no
+inherent need to use strings to specify .dev_name or .ctrl_dev_name, these
+are for the situation where you do not have a handle to the struct device *,
+for example if they are not yet instantiated or cumbersome to obtain.
+
+You register this pinmux mapping to the pinmux subsystem by simply:
+
+ ret = pinmux_register_mappings(pmx_mapping, ARRAY_SIZE(pmx_mapping));
+
+Since the above construct is pretty common there is a helper macro to make
+it even more compact which assumes you want to use pinctrl-foo and position
+0 for mapping, for example:
+
+static struct pinmux_map __initdata pmx_mapping[] = {
+ PINMUX_MAP("I2CMAP", "pinctrl-foo", "i2c0", "foo-i2c.0"),
+};
+
+
+Complex mappings
+================
+
+As it is possible to map a function to different groups of pins an optional
+.group can be specified like this:
+
+...
+{
+ .name = "spi0-pos-A",
+ .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
+ .function = "spi0",
+ .group = "spi0_0_grp",
+ .dev_name = "foo-spi.0",
+},
+{
+ .name = "spi0-pos-B",
+ .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
+ .function = "spi0",
+ .group = "spi0_1_grp",
+ .dev_name = "foo-spi.0",
+},
+...
+
+This example mapping is used to switch between two positions for spi0 at
+runtime, as described further below under the heading "Runtime pinmuxing".
+
+Further it is possible to match several groups of pins to the same function
+for a single device, say for example in the mmc0 example above, where you can
+additively expand the mmc0 bus from 2 to 4 to 8 pins. If we want to use all
+three groups for a total of 2+2+4 = 8 pins (for an 8-bit MMC bus as is the
+case), we define a mapping like this:
+
+...
+{
+ .name "2bit"
+ .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
+ .function = "mmc0",
+ .group = "mmc0_1_grp",
+ .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0",
+},
+{
+ .name "4bit"
+ .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
+ .function = "mmc0",
+ .group = "mmc0_1_grp",
+ .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0",
+},
+{
+ .name "4bit"
+ .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
+ .function = "mmc0",
+ .group = "mmc0_2_grp",
+ .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0",
+},
+{
+ .name "8bit"
+ .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
+ .function = "mmc0",
+ .group = "mmc0_1_grp",
+ .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0",
+},
+{
+ .name "8bit"
+ .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
+ .function = "mmc0",
+ .group = "mmc0_2_grp",
+ .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0",
+},
+{
+ .name "8bit"
+ .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
+ .function = "mmc0",
+ .group = "mmc0_3_grp",
+ .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0",
+},
+...
+
+The result of grabbing this mapping from the device with something like
+this (see next paragraph):
+
+ pmx = pinmux_get(&device, "8bit");

+Will be that you activate all the three bottom records in the mapping at
+once. Since they share the same name, pin controller device, funcion and
+device, and since we allow multiple groups to match to a single device, they
+all get selected, and they all get enabled and disable simultaneously by the
+pinmux core.
+
+
+Pinmux requests from drivers
+============================
+
+Generally it is discouraged to let individual drivers get and enable pinmuxes.
+So if possible, handle the pinmuxes in platform code or some other place where
+you have access to all the affected struct device * pointers. In some cases
+where a driver needs to switch between different mux mappings at runtime
+this is not possible.
+
+A driver may request a certain mux to be activated, usually just the default
+mux like this:
+
+#include <linux/pinctrl/pinmux.h>
+
+struct foo_state {
+ struct pinmux *pmx;
+ ...
+};
+
+foo_probe()
+{
+ /* Allocate a state holder named "state" etc */
+ struct pinmux pmx;
+
+ pmx = pinmux_get(&device, NULL);
+ if IS_ERR(pmx)
+ return PTR_ERR(pmx);
+ pinmux_enable(pmx);
+
+ state->pmx = pmx;
+}
+
+foo_remove()
+{
+ pinmux_disable(state->pmx);
+ pinmux_put(state->pmx);
+}
+
+If you want to grab a specific mux mapping and not just the first one found for
+this device you can specify a specific mapping name, for example in the above
+example the second i2c0 setting: pinmux_get(&device, "spi0-pos-B");
+
+This get/enable/disable/put sequence can just as well be handled by bus drivers
+if you don't want each and every driver to handle it and you know the
+arrangement on your bus.
+
+The semantics of the get/enable respective disable/put is as follows:
+
+- pinmux_get() is called in process context to reserve the pins affected with
+ a certain mapping and set up the pinmux core and the driver. It will allocate
+ a struct from the kernel memory to hold the pinmux state.
+
+- pinmux_enable()/pinmux_disable() is quick and can be called from fastpath
+ (irq context) when you quickly want to set up/tear down the hardware muxing
+ when running a device driver. Usually it will just poke some values into a
+ register.
+
+- pinmux_disable() is called in process context to tear down the pin requests
+ and release the state holder struct for the mux setting.
+
+Usually the pinmux core handled the get/put pair and call out to the device
+drivers bookkeeping operations, like checking available functions and the
+associated pins, whereas the enable/disable pass on to the pin controller
+driver which takes care of activating and/or deactivating the mux setting by
+quickly poking some registers.
+
+The pins are allocated for your device when you issue the pinmux_get() call,
+after this you should be able to see this in the debugfs listing of all pins.
+
+
+System pinmux hogging
+=====================
+
+A system pinmux map entry, i.e. a pinmux setting that does not have a device
+associated with it, can be hogged by the core when the pin controller is
+registered. This means that the core will attempt to call pinmux_get() and
+pinmux_enable() on it immediately after the pin control device has been
+registered.
+
+This is enabled by simply setting the .hog_on_boot field in the map to true,
+like this:
+
+{
+ .name "POWERMAP"
+ .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
+ .function = "power_func",
+ .hog_on_boot = true,
+},
+
+Since it may be common to request the core to hog a few always-applicable
+mux settings on the primary pin controller, there is a convenience macro for
+this:
+
+PINMUX_MAP_PRIMARY_SYS_HOG("POWERMAP", "power_func")
+
+This gives the exact same result as the above construction.
+
+
+Runtime pinmuxing
+=================
+
+It is possible to mux a certain function in and out at runtime, say to move
+an SPI port from one set of pins to another set of pins. Say for example for
+spi0 in the example above, we expose two different groups of pins for the same
+function, but with different named in the mapping as described under
+"Advanced mapping" above. So we have two mappings named "spi0-pos-A" and
+"spi0-pos-B".
+
+This snippet first muxes the function in the pins defined by group A, enables
+it, disables and releases it, and muxes it in on the pins defined by group B:
+
+foo_switch()
+{
+ struct pinmux pmx;
+
+ /* Enable on position A */
+ pmx = pinmux_get(&device, "spi0-pos-A");
+ if IS_ERR(pmx)
+ return PTR_ERR(pmx);
+ pinmux_enable(pmx);
+
+ /* This releases the pins again */
+ pinmux_disable(pmx);
+ pinmux_put(pmx);
+
+ /* Enable on position B */
+ pmx = pinmux_get(&device, "spi0-pos-B");
+ if IS_ERR(pmx)
+ return PTR_ERR(pmx);
+ pinmux_enable(pmx);
+ ...
+}
+
+The above has to be done from process context.

+Charger Manager
+ (C) 2011 MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com>, GPL
+
+Charger Manager provides in-kernel battery charger management that
+requires temperature monitoring during suspend-to-RAM state
+and where each battery may have multiple chargers attached and the userland
+wants to look at the aggregated information of the multiple chargers.
+
+Charger Manager is a platform_driver with power-supply-class entries.
+An instance of Charger Manager (a platform-device created with Charger-Manager)
+represents an independent battery with chargers. If there are multiple
+batteries with their own chargers acting independently in a system,
+the system may need multiple instances of Charger Manager.
+
+1. Introduction
+===============
+
+Charger Manager supports the following:
+
+* Support for multiple chargers (e.g., a device with USB, AC, and solar panels)
+ A system may have multiple chargers (or power sources) and some of
+ they may be activated at the same time. Each charger may have its
+ own power-supply-class and each power-supply-class can provide
+ different information about the battery status. This framework
+ aggregates charger-related information from multiple sources and
+ shows combined information as a single power-supply-class.
+
+* Support for in suspend-to-RAM polling (with suspend_again callback)
+ While the battery is being charged and the system is in suspend-to-RAM,
+ we may need to monitor the battery health by looking at the ambient or
+ battery temperature. We can accomplish this by waking up the system
+ periodically. However, such a method wakes up devices unncessary for
+ monitoring the battery health and tasks, and user processes that are
+ supposed to be kept suspended. That, in turn, incurs unnecessary power
+ consumption and slow down charging process. Or even, such peak power
+ consumption can stop chargers in the middle of charging
+ (external power input < device power consumption), which not
+ only affects the charging time, but the lifespan of the battery.
+
+ Charger Manager provides a function "cm_suspend_again" that can be
+ used as suspend_again callback of platform_suspend_ops. If the platform
+ requires tasks other than cm_suspend_again, it may implement its own
+ suspend_again callback that calls cm_suspend_again in the middle.
+ Normally, the platform will need to resume and suspend some devices
+ that are used by Charger Manager.
+
+2. Global Charger-Manager Data related with suspend_again
+========================================================
+In order to setup Charger Manager with suspend-again feature
+(in-suspend monitoring), the user should provide charger_global_desc
+with setup_charger_manager(struct charger_global_desc *).
+This charger_global_desc data for in-suspend monitoring is global
+as the name suggests. Thus, the user needs to provide only once even
+if there are multiple batteries. If there are multiple batteries, the
+multiple instances of Charger Manager share the same charger_global_desc
+and it will manage in-suspend monitoring for all instances of Charger Manager.
+
+The user needs to provide all the two entries properly in order to activate
+in-suspend monitoring:
+
+struct charger_global_desc {
+
+char *rtc_name;
+ : The name of rtc (e.g., "rtc0") used to wakeup the system from
+ suspend for Charger Manager. The alarm interrupt (AIE) of the rtc
+ should be able to wake up the system from suspend. Charger Manager
+ saves and restores the alarm value and use the previously-defined
+ alarm if it is going to go off earlier than Charger Manager so that
+ Charger Manager does not interfere with previously-defined alarms.
+
+bool (*rtc_only_wakeup)(void);
+ : This callback should let CM know whether
+ the wakeup-from-suspend is caused only by the alarm of "rtc" in the
+ same struct. If there is any other wakeup source triggered the
+ wakeup, it should return false. If the "rtc" is the only wakeup
+ reason, it should return true.
+};
+
+3. How to setup suspend_again
+=============================
+Charger Manager provides a function "extern bool cm_suspend_again(void)".
+When cm_suspend_again is called, it monitors every battery. The suspend_ops
+callback of the system's platform_suspend_ops can call cm_suspend_again
+function to know whether Charger Manager wants to suspend again or not.
+If there are no other devices or tasks that want to use suspend_again
+feature, the platform_suspend_ops may directly refer to cm_suspend_again
+for its suspend_again callback.
+
+The cm_suspend_again() returns true (meaning "I want to suspend again")
+if the system was woken up by Charger Manager and the polling
+(in-suspend monitoring) results in "normal".
+
+4. Charger-Manager Data (struct charger_desc)
+=============================================
+For each battery charged independently from other batteries (if a series of
+batteries are charged by a single charger, they are counted as one independent
+battery), an instance of Charger Manager is attached to it.
+
+struct charger_desc {
+
+char *psy_name;
+ : The power-supply-class name of the battery. Default is
+ "battery" if psy_name is NULL. Users can access the psy entries
+ at "/sys/class/power_supply/[psy_name]/".
+
+enum polling_modes polling_mode;
+ : CM_POLL_DISABLE: do not poll this battery.
+ CM_POLL_ALWAYS: always poll this battery.
+ CM_POLL_EXTERNAL_POWER_ONLY: poll this battery if and only if
+ an external power source is attached.
+ CM_POLL_CHARGING_ONLY: poll this battery if and only if the
+ battery is being charged.
+
+unsigned int fullbatt_uV;
+ : If specified with a non-zero value, Charger Manager assumes
+ that the battery is full (capacity = 100) if the battery is not being
+ charged and the battery voltage is equal to or greater than
+ fullbatt_uV.
+
+unsigned int polling_interval_ms;
+ : Required polling interval in ms. Charger Manager will poll
+ this battery every polling_interval_ms or more frequently.
+
+enum data_source battery_present;
+ CM_FUEL_GAUGE: get battery presence information from fuel gauge.
+ CM_CHARGER_STAT: get battery presence from chargers.
+
+char **psy_charger_stat;
+ : An array ending with NULL that has power-supply-class names of
+ chargers. Each power-supply-class should provide "PRESENT" (if
+ battery_present is "CM_CHARGER_STAT"), "ONLINE" (shows whether an
+ external power source is attached or not), and "STATUS" (shows whether
+ the battery is {"FULL" or not FULL} or {"FULL", "Charging",
+ "Discharging", "NotCharging"}).
+
+int num_charger_regulators;
+struct regulator_bulk_data *charger_regulators;
+ : Regulators representing the chargers in the form for
+ regulator framework's bulk functions.
+
+char *psy_fuel_gauge;
+ : Power-supply-class name of the fuel gauge.
+
+int (*temperature_out_of_range)(int *mC);
+bool measure_battery_temp;
+ : This callback returns 0 if the temperature is safe for charging,
+ a positive number if it is too hot to charge, and a negative number
+ if it is too cold to charge. With the variable mC, the callback returns
+ the temperature in 1/1000 of centigrade.
+ The source of temperature can be battery or ambient one according to
+ the value of measure_battery_temp.
+};
+
+5. Other Considerations
+=======================
+
+At the charger/battery-related events such as battery-pulled-out,
+charger-pulled-out, charger-inserted, DCIN-over/under-voltage, charger-stopped,
+and others critical to chargers, the system should be configured to wake up.
+At least the following should wake up the system from a suspend:
+a) charger-on/off b) external-power-in/out c) battery-in/out (while charging)
+
+It is usually accomplished by configuring the PMIC as a wakeup source.

+be used to signal system wakeup events, depending on the hardware design. On

+VI. Are there any precautions to be taken to prevent freezing failures?
+
+Yes, there are.
+
+First of all, grabbing the 'pm_mutex' lock to mutually exclude a piece of code
+from system-wide sleep such as suspend/hibernation is not encouraged.
+If possible, that piece of code must instead hook onto the suspend/hibernation
+notifiers to achieve mutual exclusion. Look at the CPU-Hotplug code
+(kernel/cpu.c) for an example.
+
+However, if that is not feasible, and grabbing 'pm_mutex' is deemed necessary,
+it is strongly discouraged to directly call mutex_[un]lock(&pm_mutex) since
+that could lead to freezing failures, because if the suspend/hibernate code
+successfully acquired the 'pm_mutex' lock, and hence that other entity failed
+to acquire the lock, then that task would get blocked in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
+state. As a consequence, the freezer would not be able to freeze that task,
+leading to freezing failure.
+
+However, the [un]lock_system_sleep() APIs are safe to use in this scenario,
+since they ask the freezer to skip freezing this task, since it is anyway
+"frozen enough" as it is blocked on 'pm_mutex', which will be released
+only after the entire suspend/hibernation sequence is complete.
+So, to summarize, use [un]lock_system_sleep() instead of directly using
+mutex_[un]lock(&pm_mutex). That would prevent freezing failures.

+Interaction of Suspend code (S3) with the CPU hotplug infrastructure

+
+
+I. How does the regular CPU hotplug code differ from how the Suspend-to-RAM
+ infrastructure uses it internally? And where do they share common code?
+
+Well, a picture is worth a thousand words... So ASCII art follows :-)
+
+[This depicts the current design in the kernel, and focusses only on the
+interactions involving the freezer and CPU hotplug and also tries to explain
+the locking involved. It outlines the notifications involved as well.
+But please note that here, only the call paths are illustrated, with the aim
+of describing where they take different paths and where they share code.
+What happens when regular CPU hotplug and Suspend-to-RAM race with each other
+is not depicted here.]
+
+On a high level, the suspend-resume cycle goes like this:
+
+|Freeze| -> |Disable nonboot| -> |Do suspend| -> |Enable nonboot| -> |Thaw |
+|tasks | | cpus | | | | cpus | |tasks|
+
+
+More details follow:

+
+
+
+Resuming back is likewise, with the counterparts being (in the order of
+execution during resume):
+* enable_nonboot_cpus() which involves:
+ | Acquire cpu_add_remove_lock
+ | Reset cpu_hotplug_disabled to 0, thereby enabling regular cpu hotplug
+ | Call _cpu_up() [for all those cpus in the frozen_cpus mask, in a loop]
+ | Release cpu_add_remove_lock
+ v
+
+* thaw tasks
+* send PM_POST_SUSPEND notifications
+* Release pm_mutex lock.
+
+
+It is to be noted here that the pm_mutex lock is acquired at the very
+beginning, when we are just starting out to suspend, and then released only
+after the entire cycle is complete (i.e., suspend + resume).
+

+ |
+ |
+ v
+ Release cpu_add_remove_lock
+ [That's it!, for
+ regular CPU hotplug]
+
+
+
+So, as can be seen from the two diagrams (the parts marked as "Common code"),
+regular CPU hotplug and the suspend code path converge at the _cpu_down() and
+_cpu_up() functions. They differ in the arguments passed to these functions,
+in that during regular CPU hotplug, 0 is passed for the 'tasks_frozen'
+argument. But during suspend, since the tasks are already frozen by the time
+the non-boot CPUs are offlined or onlined, the _cpu_*() functions are called
+with the 'tasks_frozen' argument set to 1.
+[See below for some known issues regarding this.]

+
+
+
+II. What are the issues involved in CPU hotplug?
+ -------------------------------------------
+
+There are some interesting situations involving CPU hotplug and microcode
+update on the CPUs, as discussed below:
+
+[Please bear in mind that the kernel requests the microcode images from
+userspace, using the request_firmware() function defined in
+drivers/base/firmware_class.c]
+
+
+a. When all the CPUs are identical:
+
+ This is the most common situation and it is quite straightforward: we want
+ to apply the same microcode revision to each of the CPUs.
+ To give an example of x86, the collect_cpu_info() function defined in
+ arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c helps in discovering the type of the CPU
+ and thereby in applying the correct microcode revision to it.
+ But note that the kernel does not maintain a common microcode image for the
+ all CPUs, in order to handle case 'b' described below.
+
+
+b. When some of the CPUs are different than the rest:
+
+ In this case since we probably need to apply different microcode revisions
+ to different CPUs, the kernel maintains a copy of the correct microcode
+ image for each CPU (after appropriate CPU type/model discovery using
+ functions such as collect_cpu_info()).
+
+
+c. When a CPU is physically hot-unplugged and a new (and possibly different
+ type of) CPU is hot-plugged into the system:
+
+ In the current design of the kernel, whenever a CPU is taken offline during
+ a regular CPU hotplug operation, upon receiving the CPU_DEAD notification
+ (which is sent by the CPU hotplug code), the microcode update driver's
+ callback for that event reacts by freeing the kernel's copy of the
+ microcode image for that CPU.
+
+ Hence, when a new CPU is brought online, since the kernel finds that it
+ doesn't have the microcode image, it does the CPU type/model discovery
+ afresh and then requests the userspace for the appropriate microcode image
+ for that CPU, which is subsequently applied.
+
+ For example, in x86, the mc_cpu_callback() function (which is the microcode
+ update driver's callback registered for CPU hotplug events) calls
+ microcode_update_cpu() which would call microcode_init_cpu() in this case,
+ instead of microcode_resume_cpu() when it finds that the kernel doesn't
+ have a valid microcode image. This ensures that the CPU type/model
+ discovery is performed and the right microcode is applied to the CPU after
+ getting it from userspace.
+
+
+d. Handling microcode update during suspend/hibernate:
+
+ Strictly speaking, during a CPU hotplug operation which does not involve
+ physically removing or inserting CPUs, the CPUs are not actually powered
+ off during a CPU offline. They are just put to the lowest C-states possible.
+ Hence, in such a case, it is not really necessary to re-apply microcode
+ when the CPUs are brought back online, since they wouldn't have lost the
+ image during the CPU offline operation.
+
+ This is the usual scenario encountered during a resume after a suspend.
+ However, in the case of hibernation, since all the CPUs are completely
+ powered off, during restore it becomes necessary to apply the microcode
+ images to all the CPUs.
+
+ [Note that we don't expect someone to physically pull out nodes and insert
+ nodes with a different type of CPUs in-between a suspend-resume or a
+ hibernate/restore cycle.]
+
+ In the current design of the kernel however, during a CPU offline operation
+ as part of the suspend/hibernate cycle (the CPU_DEAD_FROZEN notification),
+ the existing copy of microcode image in the kernel is not freed up.
+ And during the CPU online operations (during resume/restore), since the
+ kernel finds that it already has copies of the microcode images for all the
+ CPUs, it just applies them to the CPUs, avoiding any re-discovery of CPU
+ type/model and the need for validating whether the microcode revisions are
+ right for the CPUs or not (due to the above assumption that physical CPU
+ hotplug will not be done in-between suspend/resume or hibernate/restore
+ cycles).
+
+
+III. Are there any known problems when regular CPU hotplug and suspend race
+ with each other?
+
+Yes, they are listed below:
+
+1. When invoking regular CPU hotplug, the 'tasks_frozen' argument passed to
+ the _cpu_down() and _cpu_up() functions is *always* 0.
+ This might not reflect the true current state of the system, since the
+ tasks could have been frozen by an out-of-band event such as a suspend
+ operation in progress. Hence, it will lead to wrong notifications being
+ sent during the cpu online/offline events (eg, CPU_ONLINE notification
+ instead of CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN) which in turn will lead to execution of
+ inappropriate code by the callbacks registered for such CPU hotplug events.
+
+2. If a regular CPU hotplug stress test happens to race with the freezer due
+ to a suspend operation in progress at the same time, then we could hit the
+ situation described below:
+
+ * A regular cpu online operation continues its journey from userspace
+ into the kernel, since the freezing has not yet begun.
+ * Then freezer gets to work and freezes userspace.
+ * If cpu online has not yet completed the microcode update stuff by now,
+ it will now start waiting on the frozen userspace in the
+ TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state, in order to get the microcode image.
+ * Now the freezer continues and tries to freeze the remaining tasks. But
+ due to this wait mentioned above, the freezer won't be able to freeze
+ the cpu online hotplug task and hence freezing of tasks fails.
+
+ As a result of this task freezing failure, the suspend operation gets
+ aborted.

+RapidIO subsystem mport driver for IDT Tsi721 PCI Express-to-SRIO bridge.
+=========================================================================
+
+I. Overview
+
+This driver implements all currently defined RapidIO mport callback functions.
+It supports maintenance read and write operations, inbound and outbound RapidIO
+doorbells, inbound maintenance port-writes and RapidIO messaging.
+
+To generate SRIO maintenance transactions this driver uses one of Tsi721 DMA
+channels. This mechanism provides access to larger range of hop counts and
+destination IDs without need for changes in outbound window translation.
+
+RapidIO messaging support uses dedicated messaging channels for each mailbox.
+For inbound messages this driver uses destination ID matching to forward messages
+into the corresponding message queue. Messaging callbacks are implemented to be
+fully compatible with RIONET driver (Ethernet over RapidIO messaging services).
+
+II. Known problems
+
+ None.
+
+III. To do
+
+ Add DMA data transfers (non-messaging).
+ Add inbound region (SRIO-to-PCIe) mapping.
+
+IV. Version History
+
+ 1.0.0 - Initial driver release.

-==========================
-Michael Holzheu & others here at IBM have a fairly mature port of

-It also complements a tool called dumptool which dumps all the kernel's

-Kerntypes is an objectfile whose sole purpose in life

+CFS Bandwidth Control
+=====================
+
+[ This document only discusses CPU bandwidth control for SCHED_NORMAL.
+ The SCHED_RT case is covered in Documentation/scheduler/sched-rt-group.txt ]
+
+CFS bandwidth control is a CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED extension which allows the
+specification of the maximum CPU bandwidth available to a group or hierarchy.
+
+The bandwidth allowed for a group is specified using a quota and period. Within
+each given "period" (microseconds), a group is allowed to consume only up to
+"quota" microseconds of CPU time. When the CPU bandwidth consumption of a
+group exceeds this limit (for that period), the tasks belonging to its
+hierarchy will be throttled and are not allowed to run again until the next
+period.
+
+A group's unused runtime is globally tracked, being refreshed with quota units
+above at each period boundary. As threads consume this bandwidth it is
+transferred to cpu-local "silos" on a demand basis. The amount transferred
+within each of these updates is tunable and described as the "slice".
+
+Management
+----------
+Quota and period are managed within the cpu subsystem via cgroupfs.
+
+cpu.cfs_quota_us: the total available run-time within a period (in microseconds)
+cpu.cfs_period_us: the length of a period (in microseconds)
+cpu.stat: exports throttling statistics [explained further below]
+
+The default values are:
+ cpu.cfs_period_us=100ms
+ cpu.cfs_quota=-1
+
+A value of -1 for cpu.cfs_quota_us indicates that the group does not have any
+bandwidth restriction in place, such a group is described as an unconstrained
+bandwidth group. This represents the traditional work-conserving behavior for
+CFS.
+
+Writing any (valid) positive value(s) will enact the specified bandwidth limit.
+The minimum quota allowed for the quota or period is 1ms. There is also an
+upper bound on the period length of 1s. Additional restrictions exist when
+bandwidth limits are used in a hierarchical fashion, these are explained in
+more detail below.
+
+Writing any negative value to cpu.cfs_quota_us will remove the bandwidth limit
+and return the group to an unconstrained state once more.
+
+Any updates to a group's bandwidth specification will result in it becoming
+unthrottled if it is in a constrained state.
+
+System wide settings
+--------------------
+For efficiency run-time is transferred between the global pool and CPU local
+"silos" in a batch fashion. This greatly reduces global accounting pressure
+on large systems. The amount transferred each time such an update is required
+is described as the "slice".
+
+This is tunable via procfs:
+ /proc/sys/kernel/sched_cfs_bandwidth_slice_us (default=5ms)
+
+Larger slice values will reduce transfer overheads, while smaller values allow
+for more fine-grained consumption.
+
+Statistics
+----------
+A group's bandwidth statistics are exported via 3 fields in cpu.stat.
+
+cpu.stat:
+- nr_periods: Number of enforcement intervals that have elapsed.
+- nr_throttled: Number of times the group has been throttled/limited.
+- throttled_time: The total time duration (in nanoseconds) for which entities
+ of the group have been throttled.
+
+This interface is read-only.
+
+Hierarchical considerations
+---------------------------
+The interface enforces that an individual entity's bandwidth is always
+attainable, that is: max(c_i) <= C. However, over-subscription in the
+aggregate case is explicitly allowed to enable work-conserving semantics
+within a hierarchy.
+ e.g. \Sum (c_i) may exceed C
+[ Where C is the parent's bandwidth, and c_i its children ]
+
+
+There are two ways in which a group may become throttled:
+ a. it fully consumes its own quota within a period
+ b. a parent's quota is fully consumed within its period
+
+In case b) above, even though the child may have runtime remaining it will not
+be allowed to until the parent's runtime is refreshed.
+
+Examples
+--------
+1. Limit a group to 1 CPU worth of runtime.
+
+ If period is 250ms and quota is also 250ms, the group will get
+ 1 CPU worth of runtime every 250ms.
+
+ # echo 250000 > cpu.cfs_quota_us /* quota = 250ms */
+ # echo 250000 > cpu.cfs_period_us /* period = 250ms */
+
+2. Limit a group to 2 CPUs worth of runtime on a multi-CPU machine.
+
+ With 500ms period and 1000ms quota, the group can get 2 CPUs worth of
+ runtime every 500ms.
+
+ # echo 1000000 > cpu.cfs_quota_us /* quota = 1000ms */
+ # echo 500000 > cpu.cfs_period_us /* period = 500ms */
+
+ The larger period here allows for increased burst capacity.
+
+3. Limit a group to 20% of 1 CPU.
+
+ With 50ms period, 10ms quota will be equivalent to 20% of 1 CPU.
+
+ # echo 10000 > cpu.cfs_quota_us /* quota = 10ms */
+ # echo 50000 > cpu.cfs_period_us /* period = 50ms */
+
+ By using a small period here we are ensuring a consistent latency
+ response at the expense of burst capacity.

+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+ Preamble
+
+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+ For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+ We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+ Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+ Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+ 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+ 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+ 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+ a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+ stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+ b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+ whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+ part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+ parties under the terms of this License.
+
+ c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+ when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+ interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+ announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+ notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+ a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+ these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+ License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+ does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+ the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+ 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+ a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+ source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+ 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+ b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+ years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+ cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+ machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+ distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+ customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+ c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+ to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
+ allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+ received the program in object code or executable form with such
+ an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+ 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+ 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+ 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+
+ 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+ 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+ 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+ 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+ NO WARRANTY
+
+ 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+ 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE

+Operating FCoE using bnx2fc
+===========================
+Broadcom FCoE offload through bnx2fc is full stateful hardware offload that
+cooperates with all interfaces provided by the Linux ecosystem for FC/FCoE and
+SCSI controllers. As such, FCoE functionality, once enabled is largely
+transparent. Devices discovered on the SAN will be registered and unregistered
+automatically with the upper storage layers.
+
+Despite the fact that the Broadcom's FCoE offload is fully offloaded, it does
+depend on the state of the network interfaces to operate. As such, the network
+interface (e.g. eth0) associated with the FCoE offload initiator must be 'up'.
+It is recommended that the network interfaces be configured to be brought up
+automatically at boot time.
+
+Furthermore, the Broadcom FCoE offload solution creates VLAN interfaces to
+support the VLANs that have been discovered for FCoE operation (e.g.
+eth0.1001-fcoe). Do not delete or disable these interfaces or FCoE operation
+will be disrupted.
+
+Driver Usage Model:
+===================
+
+1. Ensure that fcoe-utils package is installed.
+
+2. Configure the interfaces on which bnx2fc driver has to operate on.
+Here are the steps to configure:
+ a. cd /etc/fcoe
+ b. copy cfg-ethx to cfg-eth5 if FCoE has to be enabled on eth5.
+ c. Repeat this for all the interfaces where FCoE has to be enabled.
+ d. Edit all the cfg-eth files to set "no" for DCB_REQUIRED** field, and
+ "yes" for AUTO_VLAN.
+ e. Other configuration parameters should be left as default
+
+3. Ensure that "bnx2fc" is in SUPPORTED_DRIVERS list in /etc/fcoe/config.
+
+4. Start fcoe service. (service fcoe start). If Broadcom devices are present in
+the system, bnx2fc driver would automatically claim the interfaces, starts vlan
+discovery and log into the targets.
+
+5. "Symbolic Name" in 'fcoeadm -i' output would display if bnx2fc has claimed
+the interface.
+Eg:
+[root@bh2 ~]# fcoeadm -i
+ Description: NetXtreme II BCM57712 10 Gigabit Ethernet
+ Revision: 01
+ Manufacturer: Broadcom Corporation
+ Serial Number: 0010186FD558

+ Number of Ports: 2

+ Symbolic Name: bnx2fc v1.0.5 over eth5.4
+ OS Device Name: host11
+ Node Name: 0x10000010186FD559

+ Speed: 10 Gbit
+ Supported Speed: 10 Gbit
+ MaxFrameSize: 2048
+ FC-ID (Port ID): 0x0F0377
+ State: Online
+
+6. Verify the vlan discovery is performed by running ifconfig and notice
+<INTERFACE>.<VLAN>-fcoe interfaces are automatically created.
+
+Refer to fcoeadm manpage for more information on fcoeadm operations to
+create/destroy interfaces or to display lun/target information.
+
+NOTE:
+====
+** Broadcom FCoE capable devices implement a DCBX/LLDP client on-chip. Only one
+LLDP client is allowed per interface. For proper operation all host software
+based DCBX/LLDP clients (e.g. lldpad) must be disabled. To disable lldpad on a
+given interface, run the following command:
+
+lldptool set-lldp -i <interface_name> adminStatus=disabled

+Linux Security Module framework
+-------------------------------
+
+The Linux Security Module (LSM) framework provides a mechanism for
+various security checks to be hooked by new kernel extensions. The name
+"module" is a bit of a misnomer since these extensions are not actually
+loadable kernel modules. Instead, they are selectable at build-time via
+CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY and can be overridden at boot-time via the
+"security=..." kernel command line argument, in the case where multiple
+LSMs were built into a given kernel.
+
+The primary users of the LSM interface are Mandatory Access Control
+(MAC) extensions which provide a comprehensive security policy. Examples
+include SELinux, Smack, Tomoyo, and AppArmor. In addition to the larger
+MAC extensions, other extensions can be built using the LSM to provide
+specific changes to system operation when these tweaks are not available
+in the core functionality of Linux itself.
+
+Without a specific LSM built into the kernel, the default LSM will be the
+Linux capabilities system. Most LSMs choose to extend the capabilities
+system, building their checks on top of the defined capability hooks.
+For more details on capabilities, see capabilities(7) in the Linux
+man-pages project.
+
+Based on http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/Documenting_Security_Module_Intent,
+a new LSM is accepted into the kernel when its intent (a description of
+what it tries to protect against and in what cases one would expect to
+use it) has been appropriately documented in Documentation/security/.
+This allows an LSM's code to be easily compared to its goals, and so
+that end users and distros can make a more informed decision about which
+LSMs suit their requirements.
+
+For extensive documentation on the available LSM hook interfaces, please
+see include/linux/security.h.

+
+Overview
+
+Since its early days, the ALSA API was defined with PCM support or
+constant bitrates payloads such as IEC61937 in mind. Arguments and
+returned values in frames are the norm, making it a challenge to
+extend the existing API to compressed data streams.
+
+In recent years, audio digital signal processors (DSP) were integrated
+in system-on-chip designs, and DSPs are also integrated in audio
+codecs. Processing compressed data on such DSPs results in a dramatic
+reduction of power consumption compared to host-based
+processing. Support for such hardware has not been very good in Linux,
+mostly because of a lack of a generic API available in the mainline
+kernel.
+
+Rather than requiring a compability break with an API change of the
+ALSA PCM interface, a new 'Compressed Data' API is introduced to
+provide a control and data-streaming interface for audio DSPs.
+
+The design of this API was inspired by the 2-year experience with the
+Intel Moorestown SOC, with many corrections required to upstream the
+API in the mainline kernel instead of the staging tree and make it
+usable by others.
+
+Requirements
+
+The main requirements are:
+
+- separation between byte counts and time. Compressed formats may have
+ a header per file, per frame, or no header at all. The payload size
+ may vary from frame-to-frame. As a result, it is not possible to
+ estimate reliably the duration of audio buffers when handling
+ compressed data. Dedicated mechanisms are required to allow for
+ reliable audio-video synchronization, which requires precise
+ reporting of the number of samples rendered at any given time.
+
+- Handling of multiple formats. PCM data only requires a specification
+ of the sampling rate, number of channels and bits per sample. In
+ contrast, compressed data comes in a variety of formats. Audio DSPs
+ may also provide support for a limited number of audio encoders and
+ decoders embedded in firmware, or may support more choices through
+ dynamic download of libraries.
+
+- Focus on main formats. This API provides support for the most
+ popular formats used for audio and video capture and playback. It is
+ likely that as audio compression technology advances, new formats
+ will be added.
+
+- Handling of multiple configurations. Even for a given format like
+ AAC, some implementations may support AAC multichannel but HE-AAC
+ stereo. Likewise WMA10 level M3 may require too much memory and cpu
+ cycles. The new API needs to provide a generic way of listing these
+ formats.
+
+- Rendering/Grabbing only. This API does not provide any means of
+ hardware acceleration, where PCM samples are provided back to
+ user-space for additional processing. This API focuses instead on
+ streaming compressed data to a DSP, with the assumption that the
+ decoded samples are routed to a physical output or logical back-end.
+
+ - Complexity hiding. Existing user-space multimedia frameworks all
+ have existing enums/structures for each compressed format. This new
+ API assumes the existence of a platform-specific compatibility layer
+ to expose, translate and make use of the capabilities of the audio
+ DSP, eg. Android HAL or PulseAudio sinks. By construction, regular
+ applications are not supposed to make use of this API.
+
+
+Design
+
+The new API shares a number of concepts with with the PCM API for flow
+control. Start, pause, resume, drain and stop commands have the same
+semantics no matter what the content is.
+
+The concept of memory ring buffer divided in a set of fragments is
+borrowed from the ALSA PCM API. However, only sizes in bytes can be
+specified.
+
+Seeks/trick modes are assumed to be handled by the host.
+
+The notion of rewinds/forwards is not supported. Data committed to the
+ring buffer cannot be invalidated, except when dropping all buffers.
+
+The Compressed Data API does not make any assumptions on how the data
+is transmitted to the audio DSP. DMA transfers from main memory to an
+embedded audio cluster or to a SPI interface for external DSPs are
+possible. As in the ALSA PCM case, a core set of routines is exposed;
+each driver implementer will have to write support for a set of
+mandatory routines and possibly make use of optional ones.
+
+The main additions are
+
+- get_caps
+This routine returns the list of audio formats supported. Querying the
+codecs on a capture stream will return encoders, decoders will be
+listed for playback streams.
+
+- get_codec_caps For each codec, this routine returns a list of
+capabilities. The intent is to make sure all the capabilities
+correspond to valid settings, and to minimize the risks of
+configuration failures. For example, for a complex codec such as AAC,
+the number of channels supported may depend on a specific profile. If
+the capabilities were exposed with a single descriptor, it may happen
+that a specific combination of profiles/channels/formats may not be
+supported. Likewise, embedded DSPs have limited memory and cpu cycles,
+it is likely that some implementations make the list of capabilities
+dynamic and dependent on existing workloads. In addition to codec
+settings, this routine returns the minimum buffer size handled by the
+implementation. This information can be a function of the DMA buffer
+sizes, the number of bytes required to synchronize, etc, and can be
+used by userspace to define how much needs to be written in the ring
+buffer before playback can start.
+
+- set_params
+This routine sets the configuration chosen for a specific codec. The
+most important field in the parameters is the codec type; in most
+cases decoders will ignore other fields, while encoders will strictly
+comply to the settings
+
+- get_params
+This routines returns the actual settings used by the DSP. Changes to
+the settings should remain the exception.
+
+- get_timestamp
+The timestamp becomes a multiple field structure. It lists the number
+of bytes transferred, the number of samples processed and the number
+of samples rendered/grabbed. All these values can be used to determine
+the avarage bitrate, figure out if the ring buffer needs to be
+refilled or the delay due to decoding/encoding/io on the DSP.
+
+Note that the list of codecs/profiles/modes was derived from the
+OpenMAX AL specification instead of reinventing the wheel.
+Modifications include:
+- Addition of FLAC and IEC formats
+- Merge of encoder/decoder capabilities
+- Profiles/modes listed as bitmasks to make descriptors more compact
+- Addition of set_params for decoders (missing in OpenMAX AL)
+- Addition of AMR/AMR-WB encoding modes (missing in OpenMAX AL)
+- Addition of format information for WMA
+- Addition of encoding options when required (derived from OpenMAX IL)
+- Addition of rateControlSupported (missing in OpenMAX AL)
+
+Not supported:
+
+- Support for VoIP/circuit-switched calls is not the target of this
+ API. Support for dynamic bit-rate changes would require a tight
+ coupling between the DSP and the host stack, limiting power savings.
+
+- Packet-loss concealment is not supported. This would require an
+ additional interface to let the decoder synthesize data when frames
+ are lost during transmission. This may be added in the future.
+
+- Volume control/routing is not handled by this API. Devices exposing a
+ compressed data interface will be considered as regular ALSA devices;
+ volume changes and routing information will be provided with regular
+ ALSA kcontrols.
+
+- Embedded audio effects. Such effects should be enabled in the same
+ manner, no matter if the input was PCM or compressed.
+
+- multichannel IEC encoding. Unclear if this is required.
+
+- Encoding/decoding acceleration is not supported as mentioned
+ above. It is possible to route the output of a decoder to a capture
+ stream, or even implement transcoding capabilities. This routing
+ would be enabled with ALSA kcontrols.
+
+- Audio policy/resource management. This API does not provide any
+ hooks to query the utilization of the audio DSP, nor any premption
+ mechanisms.
+
+- No notion of underun/overrun. Since the bytes written are compressed
+ in nature and data written/read doesn't translate directly to
+ rendered output in time, this does not deal with underrun/overun and
+ maybe dealt in user-library

+- Harsha Priya for her work on intel_sst compressed API

+- Convert interrupt handler to per-ep-thread-irq
+
+ As it turns out some DWC3-commands ~1ms to complete. Currently we spin
+ until the command completes which is bad.
+
+ Implementation idea:
+ - dwc core implements a demultiplexing irq chip for interrupts per
+ endpoint. The interrupt numbers are allocated during probe and belong
+ to the device. If MSI provides per-endpoint interrupt this dummy
+ interrupt chip can be replaced with "real" interrupts.
+ - interrupts are requested / allocated on usb_ep_enable() and removed on
+ usb_ep_disable(). Worst case are 32 interrupts, the lower limit is two
+ for ep0/1.
+ - dwc3_send_gadget_ep_cmd() will sleep in wait_for_completion_timeout()
+ until the command completes.
+ - the interrupt handler is split into the following pieces:
+ - primary handler of the device
+ goes through every event and calls generic_handle_irq() for event
+ it. On return from generic_handle_irq() in acknowledges the event
+ counter so interrupt goes away (eventually).
+
+ - threaded handler of the device
+ none
+
+ - primary handler of the EP-interrupt
+ reads the event and tries to process it. Everything that requries
+ sleeping is handed over to the Thread. The event is saved in an
+ per-endpoint data-structure.
+ We probably have to pay attention not to process events once we
+ handed something to thread so we don't process event X prio Y
+ where X > Y.
+
+ - threaded handler of the EP-interrupt
+ handles the remaining EP work which might sleep such as waiting
+ for command completion.
+
+ Latency:
+ There should be no increase in latency since the interrupt-thread has a
+ high priority and will be run before an average task in user land
+ (except the user changed priorities).

+
+This capability enables interception of OSI hypercalls that otherwise would

+were invented by Mac-on-Linux to have a standardized communication mechanism
+between the guest and the host.
+
+When this capability is enabled, KVM_EXIT_OSI can occur.
+
+6.2 KVM_CAP_PPC_PAPR
+
+Architectures: ppc
+Parameters: none
+Returns: 0 on success; -1 on error
+
+This capability enables interception of PAPR hypercalls. PAPR hypercalls are
+done using the hypercall instruction "sc 1".
+
+It also sets the guest privilege level to "supervisor" mode. Usually the guest
+runs in "hypervisor" privilege mode with a few missing features.
+
+In addition to the above, it changes the semantics of SDR1. In this mode, the
+HTAB address part of SDR1 contains an HVA instead of a GPA, as PAPR keeps the
+HTAB invisible to the guest.
+
+When this capability is enabled, KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL can occur.

- __
- (___()'`; Rusty's Remarkably Unreliable Guide to Lguest
- /, /` - or, A Young Coder's Illustrated Hypervisor
- \\"--\\ http://lguest.ozlabs.org
-
-Lguest is designed to be a minimal 32-bit x86 hypervisor for the Linux kernel,
-for Linux developers and users to experiment with virtualization with the
-minimum of complexity. Nonetheless, it should have sufficient features to
-make it useful for specific tasks, and, of course, you are encouraged to fork
-and enhance it (see drivers/lguest/README).
-
-Features:
-
-- Kernel module which runs in a normal kernel.
-- Simple I/O model for communication.
-- Simple program to create new guests.
-- Logo contains cute puppies: http://lguest.ozlabs.org
-
-Developer features:
-
-- Fun to hack on.
-- No ABI: being tied to a specific kernel anyway, you can change anything.
-- Many opportunities for improvement or feature implementation.
-
-Running Lguest:
-
-- The easiest way to run lguest is to use same kernel as guest and host.
- You can configure them differently, but usually it's easiest not to.
-
- You will need to configure your kernel with the following options:
-
- "General setup":
- "Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers" = Y
- (CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y)
-
- "Processor type and features":
- "Paravirtualized guest support" = Y
- "Lguest guest support" = Y
- "High Memory Support" = off/4GB
- "Alignment value to which kernel should be aligned" = 0x100000
- (CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y, CONFIG_LGUEST_GUEST=y, CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=n and
- CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN=0x100000)
-
- "Device Drivers":
- "Block devices"
- "Virtio block driver (EXPERIMENTAL)" = M/Y
- "Network device support"
- "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support" = M/Y
- "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)" = M/Y
- (CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=m, CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=m and CONFIG_TUN=m)
-
- "Virtualization"
- "Linux hypervisor example code" = M/Y
- (CONFIG_LGUEST=m)
-
-- A tool called "lguest" is available in this directory: type "make"
- to build it. If you didn't build your kernel in-tree, use "make
- O=<builddir>".
-
-- Create or find a root disk image. There are several useful ones
- around, such as the xm-test tiny root image at
- http://xm-test.xensource.com/ramdisks/initrd-1.1-i386.img
-
- For more serious work, I usually use a distribution ISO image and
- install it under qemu, then make multiple copies:
-
- dd if=/dev/zero of=rootfile bs=1M count=2048
- qemu -cdrom image.iso -hda rootfile -net user -net nic -boot d
-
- Make sure that you install a getty on /dev/hvc0 if you want to log in on the
- console!
-
-- "modprobe lg" if you built it as a module.
-
-- Run an lguest as root:
-
- Documentation/virtual/lguest/lguest 64 vmlinux --tunnet=192.168.19.1 \
- --block=rootfile root=/dev/vda
-
- Explanation:
- 64: the amount of memory to use, in MB.
-
- vmlinux: the kernel image found in the top of your build directory. You
- can also use a standard bzImage.
-
- --tunnet=192.168.19.1: configures a "tap" device for networking with this
- IP address.
-
- --block=rootfile: a file or block device which becomes /dev/vda
- inside the guest.
-
- root=/dev/vda: this (and anything else on the command line) are
- kernel boot parameters.
-
-- Configuring networking. I usually have the host masquerade, using
- "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE" and "echo 1 >
- /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward". In this example, I would configure
- eth0 inside the guest at 192.168.19.2.
-
- Another method is to bridge the tap device to an external interface
- using --tunnet=bridge:<bridgename>, and perhaps run dhcp on the guest
- to obtain an IP address. The bridge needs to be configured first:
- this option simply adds the tap interface to it.
-
- A simple example on my system:
-
- ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
- brctl addbr lg0
- ifconfig lg0 up
- brctl addif lg0 eth0
- dhclient lg0
-
- Then use --tunnet=bridge:lg0 when launching the guest.
-
- See:
-
- http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/bridge
-
- for general information on how to get bridging to work.
-
-- Random number generation. Using the --rng option will provide a
- /dev/hwrng in the guest that will read from the host's /dev/random.
- Use this option in conjunction with rng-tools (see ../hw_random.txt)
- to provide entropy to the guest kernel's /dev/random.
-
-There is a helpful mailing list at http://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/lguest
-
-Good luck!
-Rusty Russell rusty@rustcorp.com.au.

+Converting old watchdog drivers to the watchdog framework
+by Wolfram Sang <w.sang@pengutronix.de>
+=========================================================
+
+Before the watchdog framework came into the kernel, every driver had to
+implement the API on its own. Now, as the framework factored out the common
+components, those drivers can be lightened making it a user of the framework.
+This document shall guide you for this task. The necessary steps are described
+as well as things to look out for.
+
+
+Remove the file_operations struct
+---------------------------------
+
+Old drivers define their own file_operations for actions like open(), write(),
+etc... These are now handled by the framework and just call the driver when
+needed. So, in general, the 'file_operations' struct and assorted functions can
+go. Only very few driver-specific details have to be moved to other functions.
+Here is a overview of the functions and probably needed actions:
+
+- open: Everything dealing with resource management (file-open checks, magic
+ close preparations) can simply go. Device specific stuff needs to go to the
+ driver specific start-function. Note that for some drivers, the start-function
+ also serves as the ping-function. If that is the case and you need start/stop
+ to be balanced (clocks!), you are better off refactoring a separate start-function.
+
+- close: Same hints as for open apply.
+
+- write: Can simply go, all defined behaviour is taken care of by the framework,
+ i.e. ping on write and magic char ('V') handling.
+
+- ioctl: While the driver is allowed to have extensions to the IOCTL interface,
+ the most common ones are handled by the framework, supported by some assistance
+ from the driver:
+
+ WDIOC_GETSUPPORT:
+ Returns the mandatory watchdog_info struct from the driver
+
+ WDIOC_GETSTATUS:
+ Needs the status-callback defined, otherwise returns 0
+
+ WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS:
+ Needs the bootstatus member properly set. Make sure it is 0 if you
+ don't have further support!
+
+ WDIOC_SETOPTIONS:
+ No preparations needed
+
+ WDIOC_KEEPALIVE:
+ If wanted, options in watchdog_info need to have WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING
+ set
+
+ WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT:
+ Options in watchdog_info need to have WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT set
+ and a set_timeout-callback has to be defined. The core will also
+ do limit-checking, if min_timeout and max_timeout in the watchdog
+ device are set. All is optional.
+
+ WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT:
+ No preparations needed
+
+ Other IOCTLs can be served using the ioctl-callback. Note that this is mainly
+ intended for porting old drivers; new drivers should not invent private IOCTLs.
+ Private IOCTLs are processed first. When the callback returns with
+ -ENOIOCTLCMD, the IOCTLs of the framework will be tried, too. Any other error
+ is directly given to the user.
+
+Example conversion:
+
+-static const struct file_operations s3c2410wdt_fops = {
+- .owner = THIS_MODULE,
+- .llseek = no_llseek,
+- .write = s3c2410wdt_write,
+- .unlocked_ioctl = s3c2410wdt_ioctl,
+- .open = s3c2410wdt_open,
+- .release = s3c2410wdt_release,
+-};
+
+Check the functions for device-specific stuff and keep it for later
+refactoring. The rest can go.
+
+
+Remove the miscdevice
+---------------------
+
+Since the file_operations are gone now, you can also remove the 'struct
+miscdevice'. The framework will create it on watchdog_dev_register() called by
+watchdog_register_device().
+
+-static struct miscdevice s3c2410wdt_miscdev = {
+- .minor = WATCHDOG_MINOR,
+- .name = "watchdog",
+- .fops = &s3c2410wdt_fops,
+-};
+
+
+Remove obsolete includes and defines
+------------------------------------
+
+Because of the simplifications, a few defines are probably unused now. Remove
+them. Includes can be removed, too. For example:
+
+- #include <linux/fs.h>
+- #include <linux/miscdevice.h> (if MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV is not used)
+- #include <linux/uaccess.h> (if no custom IOCTLs are used)
+
+
+Add the watchdog operations
+---------------------------
+
+All possible callbacks are defined in 'struct watchdog_ops'. You can find it
+explained in 'watchdog-kernel-api.txt' in this directory. start(), stop() and
+owner must be set, the rest are optional. You will easily find corresponding
+functions in the old driver. Note that you will now get a pointer to the
+watchdog_device as a parameter to these functions, so you probably have to
+change the function header. Other changes are most likely not needed, because
+here simply happens the direct hardware access. If you have device-specific
+code left from the above steps, it should be refactored into these callbacks.
+
+Here is a simple example:
+
++static struct watchdog_ops s3c2410wdt_ops = {
++ .owner = THIS_MODULE,
++ .start = s3c2410wdt_start,
++ .stop = s3c2410wdt_stop,
++ .ping = s3c2410wdt_keepalive,
++ .set_timeout = s3c2410wdt_set_heartbeat,
++};
+
+A typical function-header change looks like:
+
+-static void s3c2410wdt_keepalive(void)
++static int s3c2410wdt_keepalive(struct watchdog_device *wdd)
+ {
+...
++
++ return 0;
+ }
+
+...
+
+- s3c2410wdt_keepalive();
++ s3c2410wdt_keepalive(&s3c2410_wdd);
+
+
+Add the watchdog device
+-----------------------
+
+Now we need to create a 'struct watchdog_device' and populate it with the
+necessary information for the framework. The struct is also explained in detail
+in 'watchdog-kernel-api.txt' in this directory. We pass it the mandatory
+watchdog_info struct and the newly created watchdog_ops. Often, old drivers
+have their own record-keeping for things like bootstatus and timeout using
+static variables. Those have to be converted to use the members in
+watchdog_device. Note that the timeout values are unsigned int. Some drivers
+use signed int, so this has to be converted, too.
+
+Here is a simple example for a watchdog device:
+
++static struct watchdog_device s3c2410_wdd = {
++ .info = &s3c2410_wdt_ident,
++ .ops = &s3c2410wdt_ops,
++};
+
+
+Handle the 'nowayout' feature
+-----------------------------
+
+A few drivers use nowayout statically, i.e. there is no module parameter for it
+and only CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT determines if the feature is going to be
+used. This needs to be converted by initializing the status variable of the
+watchdog_device like this:
+
+ .status = WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT_INIT_STATUS,
+
+Most drivers, however, also allow runtime configuration of nowayout, usually
+by adding a module parameter. The conversion for this would be something like:
+
+ watchdog_set_nowayout(&s3c2410_wdd, nowayout);
+
+The module parameter itself needs to stay, everything else related to nowayout
+can go, though. This will likely be some code in open(), close() or write().
+
+
+Register the watchdog device
+----------------------------
+
+Replace misc_register(&miscdev) with watchdog_register_device(&watchdog_dev).
+Make sure the return value gets checked and the error message, if present,
+still fits. Also convert the unregister case.
+
+- ret = misc_register(&s3c2410wdt_miscdev);
++ ret = watchdog_register_device(&s3c2410_wdd);
+
+...
+
+- misc_deregister(&s3c2410wdt_miscdev);
++ watchdog_unregister_device(&s3c2410_wdd);
+
+
+Update the Kconfig-entry
+------------------------
+
+The entry for the driver now needs to select WATCHDOG_CORE:
+
++ select WATCHDOG_CORE
+
+
+Create a patch and send it to upstream
+--------------------------------------
+
+Make sure you understood Documentation/SubmittingPatches and send your patch to
+linux-watchdog@vger.kernel.org. We are looking forward to it :)
