+Description:
+ Some ECs have a feature where they will track transitions to
+ the (Intel) processor's SLP_S0 line, in order to detect cases
+ where a system failed to go into S0ix. When the system resumes,
+ an EC with this feature will return a summary of SLP_S0
+ transitions that occurred. The last_resume_result file returns
+ the most recent response from the AP's resume message to the EC.
+
+ The bottom 31 bits contain a count of the number of SLP_S0
+ transitions that occurred since the suspend message was
+ received. Bit 31 is set if the EC attempted to wake the
+ system due to a timeout when watching for SLP_S0 transitions.
+ Callers can use this to detect a wake from the EC due to
+ S0ix timeouts. The result will be zero if no suspend
+ transitions have been attempted, or the EC does not support
+ this feature.
+
+ Output will be in the format: "0x%08x\n".

+Description: This file allows the driver for a device to be specified. When
+ specified, only a driver with a name matching the value written
+ to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind to the
+ device. The override is specified by writing a string to the
+ driver_override file (echo vfio-ccw > driver_override) and
+ may be cleared with an empty string (echo > driver_override).
+ This returns the device to standard matching rules binding.
+ Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the
+ device from its current driver or make any attempt to
+ automatically load the specified driver. If no driver with a
+ matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, the device
+ will not bind to any driver. This also allows devices to
+ opt-out of driver binding using a driver_override name such as
+ "none". Only a single driver may be specified in the override,
+ there is no support for parsing delimiters.
+ Note that unlike the mechanism of the same name for pci, this
+ file does not allow to override basic matching rules. I.e.,
+ the driver must still match the subchannel type of the device.

+RCU Concepts
+============
+
+The basic idea behind RCU (read-copy update) is to split destructive
+operations into two parts, one that prevents anyone from seeing the data
+item being destroyed, and one that actually carries out the destruction.
+A "grace period" must elapse between the two parts, and this grace period
+must be long enough that any readers accessing the item being deleted have
+since dropped their references. For example, an RCU-protected deletion
+from a linked list would first remove the item from the list, wait for
+a grace period to elapse, then free the element. See the
+Documentation/RCU/listRCU.rst file for more information on using RCU with
+linked lists.
+
+Frequently Asked Questions
+--------------------------
+
+- Why would anyone want to use RCU?
+
+ The advantage of RCU's two-part approach is that RCU readers need
+ not acquire any locks, perform any atomic instructions, write to
+ shared memory, or (on CPUs other than Alpha) execute any memory
+ barriers. The fact that these operations are quite expensive
+ on modern CPUs is what gives RCU its performance advantages
+ in read-mostly situations. The fact that RCU readers need not
+ acquire locks can also greatly simplify deadlock-avoidance code.
+
+- How can the updater tell when a grace period has completed
+ if the RCU readers give no indication when they are done?
+
+ Just as with spinlocks, RCU readers are not permitted to
+ block, switch to user-mode execution, or enter the idle loop.
+ Therefore, as soon as a CPU is seen passing through any of these
+ three states, we know that that CPU has exited any previous RCU
+ read-side critical sections. So, if we remove an item from a
+ linked list, and then wait until all CPUs have switched context,
+ executed in user mode, or executed in the idle loop, we can
+ safely free up that item.
+
+ Preemptible variants of RCU (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) get the
+ same effect, but require that the readers manipulate CPU-local
+ counters. These counters allow limited types of blocking within
+ RCU read-side critical sections. SRCU also uses CPU-local
+ counters, and permits general blocking within RCU read-side
+ critical sections. These variants of RCU detect grace periods
+ by sampling these counters.
+
+- If I am running on a uniprocessor kernel, which can only do one
+ thing at a time, why should I wait for a grace period?
+
+ See the Documentation/RCU/UP.rst file for more information.

+Spectre Side Channels
+=====================
+
+Spectre is a class of side channel attacks that exploit branch prediction
+and speculative execution on modern CPUs to read memory, possibly
+bypassing access controls. Speculative execution side channel exploits
+do not modify memory but attempt to infer privileged data in the memory.
+
+This document covers Spectre variant 1 and Spectre variant 2.
+
+Affected processors
+-------------------
+
+Speculative execution side channel methods affect a wide range of modern
+high performance processors, since most modern high speed processors
+use branch prediction and speculative execution.
+
+The following CPUs are vulnerable:
+
+ - Intel Core, Atom, Pentium, and Xeon processors
+
+ - AMD Phenom, EPYC, and Zen processors
+
+ - IBM POWER and zSeries processors
+
+ - Higher end ARM processors
+
+ - Apple CPUs
+
+ - Higher end MIPS CPUs
+
+ - Likely most other high performance CPUs. Contact your CPU vendor for details.
+
+Whether a processor is affected or not can be read out from the Spectre
+vulnerability files in sysfs. See :ref:`spectre_sys_info`.
+
+Related CVEs
+------------
+
+The following CVE entries describe Spectre variants:
+
+ ============= ======================= =================
+ CVE-2017-5753 Bounds check bypass Spectre variant 1
+ CVE-2017-5715 Branch target injection Spectre variant 2
+ ============= ======================= =================
+
+Problem
+-------
+
+CPUs use speculative operations to improve performance. That may leave
+traces of memory accesses or computations in the processor's caches,
+buffers, and branch predictors. Malicious software may be able to
+influence the speculative execution paths, and then use the side effects
+of the speculative execution in the CPUs' caches and buffers to infer
+privileged data touched during the speculative execution.
+
+Spectre variant 1 attacks take advantage of speculative execution of
+conditional branches, while Spectre variant 2 attacks use speculative
+execution of indirect branches to leak privileged memory.
+See :ref:`[1] <spec_ref1>` :ref:`[5] <spec_ref5>` :ref:`[7] <spec_ref7>`
+:ref:`[10] <spec_ref10>` :ref:`[11] <spec_ref11>`.
+
+Spectre variant 1 (Bounds Check Bypass)
+---------------------------------------
+
+The bounds check bypass attack :ref:`[2] <spec_ref2>` takes advantage
+of speculative execution that bypasses conditional branch instructions
+used for memory access bounds check (e.g. checking if the index of an
+array results in memory access within a valid range). This results in
+memory accesses to invalid memory (with out-of-bound index) that are
+done speculatively before validation checks resolve. Such speculative
+memory accesses can leave side effects, creating side channels which
+leak information to the attacker.
+
+There are some extensions of Spectre variant 1 attacks for reading data
+over the network, see :ref:`[12] <spec_ref12>`. However such attacks
+are difficult, low bandwidth, fragile, and are considered low risk.
+
+Spectre variant 2 (Branch Target Injection)
+-------------------------------------------
+
+The branch target injection attack takes advantage of speculative
+execution of indirect branches :ref:`[3] <spec_ref3>`. The indirect
+branch predictors inside the processor used to guess the target of
+indirect branches can be influenced by an attacker, causing gadget code
+to be speculatively executed, thus exposing sensitive data touched by
+the victim. The side effects left in the CPU's caches during speculative
+execution can be measured to infer data values.
+
+.. _poison_btb:
+
+In Spectre variant 2 attacks, the attacker can steer speculative indirect
+branches in the victim to gadget code by poisoning the branch target
+buffer of a CPU used for predicting indirect branch addresses. Such
+poisoning could be done by indirect branching into existing code,
+with the address offset of the indirect branch under the attacker's
+control. Since the branch prediction on impacted hardware does not
+fully disambiguate branch address and uses the offset for prediction,
+this could cause privileged code's indirect branch to jump to a gadget
+code with the same offset.
+
+The most useful gadgets take an attacker-controlled input parameter (such
+as a register value) so that the memory read can be controlled. Gadgets
+without input parameters might be possible, but the attacker would have
+very little control over what memory can be read, reducing the risk of
+the attack revealing useful data.
+
+One other variant 2 attack vector is for the attacker to poison the
+return stack buffer (RSB) :ref:`[13] <spec_ref13>` to cause speculative
+subroutine return instruction execution to go to a gadget. An attacker's
+imbalanced subroutine call instructions might "poison" entries in the
+return stack buffer which are later consumed by a victim's subroutine
+return instructions. This attack can be mitigated by flushing the return
+stack buffer on context switch, or virtual machine (VM) exit.
+
+On systems with simultaneous multi-threading (SMT), attacks are possible
+from the sibling thread, as level 1 cache and branch target buffer
+(BTB) may be shared between hardware threads in a CPU core. A malicious
+program running on the sibling thread may influence its peer's BTB to
+steer its indirect branch speculations to gadget code, and measure the
+speculative execution's side effects left in level 1 cache to infer the
+victim's data.
+
+Attack scenarios
+----------------
+
+The following list of attack scenarios have been anticipated, but may
+not cover all possible attack vectors.
+
+1. A user process attacking the kernel
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ The attacker passes a parameter to the kernel via a register or
+ via a known address in memory during a syscall. Such parameter may
+ be used later by the kernel as an index to an array or to derive
+ a pointer for a Spectre variant 1 attack. The index or pointer
+ is invalid, but bound checks are bypassed in the code branch taken
+ for speculative execution. This could cause privileged memory to be
+ accessed and leaked.
+
+ For kernel code that has been identified where data pointers could
+ potentially be influenced for Spectre attacks, new "nospec" accessor
+ macros are used to prevent speculative loading of data.
+
+ Spectre variant 2 attacker can :ref:`poison <poison_btb>` the branch
+ target buffer (BTB) before issuing syscall to launch an attack.
+ After entering the kernel, the kernel could use the poisoned branch
+ target buffer on indirect jump and jump to gadget code in speculative
+ execution.
+
+ If an attacker tries to control the memory addresses leaked during
+ speculative execution, he would also need to pass a parameter to the
+ gadget, either through a register or a known address in memory. After
+ the gadget has executed, he can measure the side effect.
+
+ The kernel can protect itself against consuming poisoned branch
+ target buffer entries by using return trampolines (also known as
+ "retpoline") :ref:`[3] <spec_ref3>` :ref:`[9] <spec_ref9>` for all
+ indirect branches. Return trampolines trap speculative execution paths
+ to prevent jumping to gadget code during speculative execution.
+ x86 CPUs with Enhanced Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation
+ (Enhanced IBRS) available in hardware should use the feature to
+ mitigate Spectre variant 2 instead of retpoline. Enhanced IBRS is
+ more efficient than retpoline.
+
+ There may be gadget code in firmware which could be exploited with
+ Spectre variant 2 attack by a rogue user process. To mitigate such
+ attacks on x86, Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation (IBRS) feature
+ is turned on before the kernel invokes any firmware code.
+
+2. A user process attacking another user process
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ A malicious user process can try to attack another user process,
+ either via a context switch on the same hardware thread, or from the
+ sibling hyperthread sharing a physical processor core on simultaneous
+ multi-threading (SMT) system.
+
+ Spectre variant 1 attacks generally require passing parameters
+ between the processes, which needs a data passing relationship, such
+ as remote procedure calls (RPC). Those parameters are used in gadget
+ code to derive invalid data pointers accessing privileged memory in
+ the attacked process.
+
+ Spectre variant 2 attacks can be launched from a rogue process by
+ :ref:`poisoning <poison_btb>` the branch target buffer. This can
+ influence the indirect branch targets for a victim process that either
+ runs later on the same hardware thread, or running concurrently on
+ a sibling hardware thread sharing the same physical core.
+
+ A user process can protect itself against Spectre variant 2 attacks
+ by using the prctl() syscall to disable indirect branch speculation
+ for itself. An administrator can also cordon off an unsafe process
+ from polluting the branch target buffer by disabling the process's
+ indirect branch speculation. This comes with a performance cost
+ from not using indirect branch speculation and clearing the branch
+ target buffer. When SMT is enabled on x86, for a process that has
+ indirect branch speculation disabled, Single Threaded Indirect Branch
+ Predictors (STIBP) :ref:`[4] <spec_ref4>` are turned on to prevent the
+ sibling thread from controlling branch target buffer. In addition,
+ the Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB) is issued to clear the
+ branch target buffer when context switching to and from such process.
+
+ On x86, the return stack buffer is stuffed on context switch.
+ This prevents the branch target buffer from being used for branch
+ prediction when the return stack buffer underflows while switching to
+ a deeper call stack. Any poisoned entries in the return stack buffer
+ left by the previous process will also be cleared.
+
+ User programs should use address space randomization to make attacks
+ more difficult (Set /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space = 1 or 2).
+
+3. A virtualized guest attacking the host
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ The attack mechanism is similar to how user processes attack the
+ kernel. The kernel is entered via hyper-calls or other virtualization
+ exit paths.
+
+ For Spectre variant 1 attacks, rogue guests can pass parameters
+ (e.g. in registers) via hyper-calls to derive invalid pointers to
+ speculate into privileged memory after entering the kernel. For places
+ where such kernel code has been identified, nospec accessor macros
+ are used to stop speculative memory access.
+
+ For Spectre variant 2 attacks, rogue guests can :ref:`poison
+ <poison_btb>` the branch target buffer or return stack buffer, causing
+ the kernel to jump to gadget code in the speculative execution paths.
+
+ To mitigate variant 2, the host kernel can use return trampolines
+ for indirect branches to bypass the poisoned branch target buffer,
+ and flushing the return stack buffer on VM exit. This prevents rogue
+ guests from affecting indirect branching in the host kernel.
+
+ To protect host processes from rogue guests, host processes can have
+ indirect branch speculation disabled via prctl(). The branch target
+ buffer is cleared before context switching to such processes.
+
+4. A virtualized guest attacking other guest
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ A rogue guest may attack another guest to get data accessible by the
+ other guest.
+
+ Spectre variant 1 attacks are possible if parameters can be passed
+ between guests. This may be done via mechanisms such as shared memory
+ or message passing. Such parameters could be used to derive data
+ pointers to privileged data in guest. The privileged data could be
+ accessed by gadget code in the victim's speculation paths.
+
+ Spectre variant 2 attacks can be launched from a rogue guest by
+ :ref:`poisoning <poison_btb>` the branch target buffer or the return
+ stack buffer. Such poisoned entries could be used to influence
+ speculation execution paths in the victim guest.
+
+ Linux kernel mitigates attacks to other guests running in the same
+ CPU hardware thread by flushing the return stack buffer on VM exit,
+ and clearing the branch target buffer before switching to a new guest.
+
+ If SMT is used, Spectre variant 2 attacks from an untrusted guest
+ in the sibling hyperthread can be mitigated by the administrator,
+ by turning off the unsafe guest's indirect branch speculation via
+ prctl(). A guest can also protect itself by turning on microcode
+ based mitigations (such as IBPB or STIBP on x86) within the guest.
+

+Spectre system information
+--------------------------
+
+The Linux kernel provides a sysfs interface to enumerate the current
+mitigation status of the system for Spectre: whether the system is
+vulnerable, and which mitigations are active.
+
+The sysfs file showing Spectre variant 1 mitigation status is:

+
+The spectre_v2 kernel file reports if the kernel has been compiled with

+
+Turning on mitigation for Spectre variant 1 and Spectre variant 2
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1. Kernel mitigation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ For the Spectre variant 1, vulnerable kernel code (as determined
+ by code audit or scanning tools) is annotated on a case by case
+ basis to use nospec accessor macros for bounds clipping :ref:`[2]
+ <spec_ref2>` to avoid any usable disclosure gadgets. However, it may
+ not cover all attack vectors for Spectre variant 1.
+
+ For Spectre variant 2 mitigation, the compiler turns indirect calls or
+ jumps in the kernel into equivalent return trampolines (retpolines)
+ :ref:`[3] <spec_ref3>` :ref:`[9] <spec_ref9>` to go to the target
+ addresses. Speculative execution paths under retpolines are trapped
+ in an infinite loop to prevent any speculative execution jumping to
+ a gadget.
+
+ To turn on retpoline mitigation on a vulnerable CPU, the kernel
+ needs to be compiled with a gcc compiler that supports the
+ -mindirect-branch=thunk-extern -mindirect-branch-register options.
+ If the kernel is compiled with a Clang compiler, the compiler needs
+ to support -mretpoline-external-thunk option. The kernel config
+ CONFIG_RETPOLINE needs to be turned on, and the CPU needs to run with
+ the latest updated microcode.
+
+ On Intel Skylake-era systems the mitigation covers most, but not all,
+ cases. See :ref:`[3] <spec_ref3>` for more details.
+
+ On CPUs with hardware mitigation for Spectre variant 2 (e.g. Enhanced
+ IBRS on x86), retpoline is automatically disabled at run time.
+
+ The retpoline mitigation is turned on by default on vulnerable
+ CPUs. It can be forced on or off by the administrator
+ via the kernel command line and sysfs control files. See
+ :ref:`spectre_mitigation_control_command_line`.
+
+ On x86, indirect branch restricted speculation is turned on by default
+ before invoking any firmware code to prevent Spectre variant 2 exploits
+ using the firmware.
+
+ Using kernel address space randomization (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_SLAB=y
+ and CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM=y in the kernel configuration) makes
+ attacks on the kernel generally more difficult.
+
+2. User program mitigation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ User programs can mitigate Spectre variant 1 using LFENCE or "bounds
+ clipping". For more details see :ref:`[2] <spec_ref2>`.
+
+ For Spectre variant 2 mitigation, individual user programs
+ can be compiled with return trampolines for indirect branches.
+ This protects them from consuming poisoned entries in the branch
+ target buffer left by malicious software. Alternatively, the
+ programs can disable their indirect branch speculation via prctl()
+ (See :ref:`Documentation/userspace-api/spec_ctrl.rst <set_spec_ctrl>`).
+ On x86, this will turn on STIBP to guard against attacks from the
+ sibling thread when the user program is running, and use IBPB to
+ flush the branch target buffer when switching to/from the program.
+
+ Restricting indirect branch speculation on a user program will
+ also prevent the program from launching a variant 2 attack
+ on x86. All sand-boxed SECCOMP programs have indirect branch
+ speculation restricted by default. Administrators can change
+ that behavior via the kernel command line and sysfs control files.
+ See :ref:`spectre_mitigation_control_command_line`.
+
+ Programs that disable their indirect branch speculation will have
+ more overhead and run slower.
+
+ User programs should use address space randomization
+ (/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space = 1 or 2) to make attacks more
+ difficult.
+
+3. VM mitigation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ Within the kernel, Spectre variant 1 attacks from rogue guests are
+ mitigated on a case by case basis in VM exit paths. Vulnerable code
+ uses nospec accessor macros for "bounds clipping", to avoid any
+ usable disclosure gadgets. However, this may not cover all variant
+ 1 attack vectors.
+
+ For Spectre variant 2 attacks from rogue guests to the kernel, the
+ Linux kernel uses retpoline or Enhanced IBRS to prevent consumption of
+ poisoned entries in branch target buffer left by rogue guests. It also
+ flushes the return stack buffer on every VM exit to prevent a return
+ stack buffer underflow so poisoned branch target buffer could be used,
+ or attacker guests leaving poisoned entries in the return stack buffer.
+
+ To mitigate guest-to-guest attacks in the same CPU hardware thread,
+ the branch target buffer is sanitized by flushing before switching
+ to a new guest on a CPU.
+
+ The above mitigations are turned on by default on vulnerable CPUs.
+
+ To mitigate guest-to-guest attacks from sibling thread when SMT is
+ in use, an untrusted guest running in the sibling thread can have
+ its indirect branch speculation disabled by administrator via prctl().
+
+ The kernel also allows guests to use any microcode based mitigation
+ they choose to use (such as IBPB or STIBP on x86) to protect themselves.
+

+
+Mitigation selection guide
+--------------------------
+
+1. Trusted userspace
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ If all userspace applications are from trusted sources and do not
+ execute externally supplied untrusted code, then the mitigations can
+ be disabled.
+
+2. Protect sensitive programs
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ For security-sensitive programs that have secrets (e.g. crypto
+ keys), protection against Spectre variant 2 can be put in place by
+ disabling indirect branch speculation when the program is running
+ (See :ref:`Documentation/userspace-api/spec_ctrl.rst <set_spec_ctrl>`).
+
+3. Sandbox untrusted programs
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ Untrusted programs that could be a source of attacks can be cordoned
+ off by disabling their indirect branch speculation when they are run
+ (See :ref:`Documentation/userspace-api/spec_ctrl.rst <set_spec_ctrl>`).
+ This prevents untrusted programs from polluting the branch target
+ buffer. All programs running in SECCOMP sandboxes have indirect
+ branch speculation restricted by default. This behavior can be
+ changed via the kernel command line and sysfs control files. See
+ :ref:`spectre_mitigation_control_command_line`.
+
+3. High security mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ All Spectre variant 2 mitigations can be forced on
+ at boot time for all programs (See the "on" option in
+ :ref:`spectre_mitigation_control_command_line`). This will add
+ overhead as indirect branch speculations for all programs will be
+ restricted.
+
+ On x86, branch target buffer will be flushed with IBPB when switching
+ to a new program. STIBP is left on all the time to protect programs
+ against variant 2 attacks originating from programs running on
+ sibling threads.
+
+ Alternatively, STIBP can be used only when running programs
+ whose indirect branch speculation is explicitly disabled,
+ while IBPB is still used all the time when switching to a new
+ program to clear the branch target buffer (See "ibpb" option in
+ :ref:`spectre_mitigation_control_command_line`). This "ibpb" option
+ has less performance cost than the "on" option, which leaves STIBP
+ on all the time.

CPU architectures and 32-bit HW accelerators. Can true 32-bit registers
be added to BPF in the future?
-A: NO. The first thing to improve performance on 32-bit archs is to teach
-LLVM to generate code that uses 32-bit subregisters. Then second step
-is to teach verifier to mark operations where zero-ing upper bits
-is unnecessary. Then JITs can take advantage of those markings and
-drastically reduce size of generated code and improve performance.
+A: NO.
+
+But some optimizations on zero-ing the upper 32 bits for BPF registers are
+available, and can be leveraged to improve the performance of JITed BPF
+programs for 32-bit architectures.
+
+Starting with version 7, LLVM is able to generate instructions that operate
+on 32-bit subregisters, provided the option -mattr=+alu32 is passed for
+compiling a program. Furthermore, the verifier can now mark the
+instructions for which zero-ing the upper bits of the destination register
+is required, and insert an explicit zero-extension (zext) instruction
+(a mov32 variant). This means that for architectures without zext hardware
+support, the JIT back-ends do not need to clear the upper bits for
+subregisters written by alu32 instructions or narrow loads. Instead, the
+back-ends simply need to support code generation for that mov32 variant,
+and to overwrite bpf_jit_needs_zext() to make it return "true" (in order to
+enable zext insertion in the verifier).
+
+Note that it is possible for a JIT back-end to have partial hardware
+support for zext. In that case, if verifier zext insertion is enabled,
+it could lead to the insertion of unnecessary zext instructions. Such
+instructions could be removed by creating a simple peephole inside the JIT
+back-end: if one instruction has hardware support for zext and if the next
+instruction is an explicit zext, then the latter can be skipped when doing
+the code generation.

+BPF_CGROUP_GETSOCKOPT
+=====================
+
+``BPF_CGROUP_GETSOCKOPT`` is triggered *after* the kernel handing of
+sockopt. The BPF hook can observe ``optval``, ``optlen`` and ``retval``
+if it's interested in whatever kernel has returned. BPF hook can override
+the values above, adjust ``optlen`` and reset ``retval`` to 0. If ``optlen``
+has been increased above initial ``getsockopt`` value (i.e. userspace
+buffer is too small), ``EFAULT`` is returned.
+
+This hook has access to the cgroup and socket local storage.
+
+Note, that the only acceptable value to set to ``retval`` is 0 and the
+original value that the kernel returned. Any other value will trigger
+``EFAULT``.
+
+Return Type
+-----------
+
+* ``0`` - reject the syscall, ``EPERM`` will be returned to the userspace.
+* ``1`` - success: copy ``optval`` and ``optlen`` to userspace, return
+ ``retval`` from the syscall (note that this can be overwritten by
+ the BPF program from the parent cgroup).
+
+Cgroup Inheritance
+==================
+
+Suppose, there is the following cgroup hierarchy where each cgroup
+has ``BPF_CGROUP_GETSOCKOPT`` attached at each level with
+``BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI`` flag::
+
+ A (root, parent)
+ \
+ B (child)
+
+When the application calls ``getsockopt`` syscall from the cgroup B,
+the programs are executed from the bottom up: B, A. First program
+(B) sees the result of kernel's ``getsockopt``. It can optionally
+adjust ``optval``, ``optlen`` and reset ``retval`` to 0. After that
+control will be passed to the second (A) program which will see the
+same context as B including any potential modifications.
+
+Same for ``BPF_CGROUP_SETSOCKOPT``: if the program is attached to
+A and B, the trigger order is B, then A. If B does any changes
+to the input arguments (``level``, ``optname``, ``optval``, ``optlen``),
+then the next program in the chain (A) will see those changes,
+*not* the original input ``setsockopt`` arguments. The potentially
+modified values will be then passed down to the kernel.
+
+Example
+=======
+
+See ``tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/sockopt_sk.c`` for an example
+of BPF program that handles socket options.

+A Linux CD-ROM standard

+Introduction
+============
+
+Linux is probably the Unix-like operating system that supports
+the widest variety of hardware devices. The reasons for this are
+presumably
+
+- The large list of hardware devices available for the many platforms
+ that Linux now supports (i.e., i386-PCs, Sparc Suns, etc.)
+- The open design of the operating system, such that anybody can write a
+ driver for Linux.
+- There is plenty of source code around as examples of how to write a driver.
+
+The openness of Linux, and the many different types of available
+hardware has allowed Linux to support many different hardware devices.
+Unfortunately, the very openness that has allowed Linux to support
+all these different devices has also allowed the behavior of each
+device driver to differ significantly from one device to another.
+This divergence of behavior has been very significant for CD-ROM
+devices; the way a particular drive reacts to a `standard` *ioctl()*
+call varies greatly from one device driver to another. To avoid making
+their drivers totally inconsistent, the writers of Linux CD-ROM
+drivers generally created new device drivers by understanding, copying,
+and then changing an existing one. Unfortunately, this practice did not
+maintain uniform behavior across all the Linux CD-ROM drivers.
+
+This document describes an effort to establish Uniform behavior across
+all the different CD-ROM device drivers for Linux. This document also
+defines the various *ioctl()'s*, and how the low-level CD-ROM device
+drivers should implement them. Currently (as of the Linux 2.1.\ *x*
+development kernels) several low-level CD-ROM device drivers, including
+both IDE/ATAPI and SCSI, now use this Uniform interface.
+
+When the CD-ROM was developed, the interface between the CD-ROM drive
+and the computer was not specified in the standards. As a result, many
+different CD-ROM interfaces were developed. Some of them had their
+own proprietary design (Sony, Mitsumi, Panasonic, Philips), other
+manufacturers adopted an existing electrical interface and changed
+the functionality (CreativeLabs/SoundBlaster, Teac, Funai) or simply
+adapted their drives to one or more of the already existing electrical
+interfaces (Aztech, Sanyo, Funai, Vertos, Longshine, Optics Storage and
+most of the `NoName` manufacturers). In cases where a new drive really
+brought its own interface or used its own command set and flow control
+scheme, either a separate driver had to be written, or an existing
+driver had to be enhanced. History has delivered us CD-ROM support for
+many of these different interfaces. Nowadays, almost all new CD-ROM
+drives are either IDE/ATAPI or SCSI, and it is very unlikely that any
+manufacturer will create a new interface. Even finding drives for the
+old proprietary interfaces is getting difficult.
+
+When (in the 1.3.70's) I looked at the existing software interface,
+which was expressed through `cdrom.h`, it appeared to be a rather wild
+set of commands and data formats [#f1]_. It seemed that many
+features of the software interface had been added to accommodate the
+capabilities of a particular drive, in an *ad hoc* manner. More
+importantly, it appeared that the behavior of the `standard` commands
+was different for most of the different drivers: e. g., some drivers
+close the tray if an *open()* call occurs when the tray is open, while
+others do not. Some drivers lock the door upon opening the device, to
+prevent an incoherent file system, but others don't, to allow software
+ejection. Undoubtedly, the capabilities of the different drives vary,
+but even when two drives have the same capability their drivers'
+behavior was usually different.
+
+.. [#f1]
+ I cannot recollect what kernel version I looked at, then,
+ presumably 1.2.13 and 1.3.34 --- the latest kernel that I was
+ indirectly involved in.
+
+I decided to start a discussion on how to make all the Linux CD-ROM
+drivers behave more uniformly. I began by contacting the developers of
+the many CD-ROM drivers found in the Linux kernel. Their reactions
+encouraged me to write the Uniform CD-ROM Driver which this document is
+intended to describe. The implementation of the Uniform CD-ROM Driver is
+in the file `cdrom.c`. This driver is intended to be an additional software
+layer that sits on top of the low-level device drivers for each CD-ROM drive.
+By adding this additional layer, it is possible to have all the different
+CD-ROM devices behave **exactly** the same (insofar as the underlying
+hardware will allow).
+
+The goal of the Uniform CD-ROM Driver is **not** to alienate driver developers
+whohave not yet taken steps to support this effort. The goal of Uniform CD-ROM
+Driver is simply to give people writing application programs for CD-ROM drives
+**one** Linux CD-ROM interface with consistent behavior for all
+CD-ROM devices. In addition, this also provides a consistent interface
+between the low-level device driver code and the Linux kernel. Care
+is taken that 100% compatibility exists with the data structures and
+programmer's interface defined in `cdrom.h`. This guide was written to
+help CD-ROM driver developers adapt their code to use the Uniform CD-ROM
+Driver code defined in `cdrom.c`.
+
+Personally, I think that the most important hardware interfaces are
+the IDE/ATAPI drives and, of course, the SCSI drives, but as prices
+of hardware drop continuously, it is also likely that people may have
+more than one CD-ROM drive, possibly of mixed types. It is important
+that these drives behave in the same way. In December 1994, one of the
+cheapest CD-ROM drives was a Philips cm206, a double-speed proprietary
+drive. In the months that I was busy writing a Linux driver for it,
+proprietary drives became obsolete and IDE/ATAPI drives became the
+standard. At the time of the last update to this document (November
+1997) it is becoming difficult to even **find** anything less than a
+16 speed CD-ROM drive, and 24 speed drives are common.
+
+.. _cdrom_api:
+
+Standardizing through another software level
+============================================
+
+At the time this document was conceived, all drivers directly
+implemented the CD-ROM *ioctl()* calls through their own routines. This
+led to the danger of different drivers forgetting to do important things
+like checking that the user was giving the driver valid data. More
+importantly, this led to the divergence of behavior, which has already
+been discussed.
+
+For this reason, the Uniform CD-ROM Driver was created to enforce consistent
+CD-ROM drive behavior, and to provide a common set of services to the various
+low-level CD-ROM device drivers. The Uniform CD-ROM Driver now provides another
+software-level, that separates the *ioctl()* and *open()* implementation
+from the actual hardware implementation. Note that this effort has
+made few changes which will affect a user's application programs. The
+greatest change involved moving the contents of the various low-level
+CD-ROM drivers\' header files to the kernel's cdrom directory. This was
+done to help ensure that the user is only presented with only one cdrom
+interface, the interface defined in `cdrom.h`.
+
+CD-ROM drives are specific enough (i. e., different from other
+block-devices such as floppy or hard disc drives), to define a set
+of common **CD-ROM device operations**, *<cdrom-device>_dops*.
+These operations are different from the classical block-device file
+operations, *<block-device>_fops*.
+
+The routines for the Uniform CD-ROM Driver interface level are implemented
+in the file `cdrom.c`. In this file, the Uniform CD-ROM Driver interfaces
+with the kernel as a block device by registering the following general
+*struct file_operations*::
+
+ struct file_operations cdrom_fops = {
+ NULL, /∗ lseek ∗/
+ block _read , /∗ read—general block-dev read ∗/
+ block _write, /∗ write—general block-dev write ∗/
+ NULL, /∗ readdir ∗/
+ NULL, /∗ select ∗/
+ cdrom_ioctl, /∗ ioctl ∗/
+ NULL, /∗ mmap ∗/
+ cdrom_open, /∗ open ∗/
+ cdrom_release, /∗ release ∗/
+ NULL, /∗ fsync ∗/
+ NULL, /∗ fasync ∗/
+ cdrom_media_changed, /∗ media change ∗/
+ NULL /∗ revalidate ∗/
+ };
+
+Every active CD-ROM device shares this *struct*. The routines
+declared above are all implemented in `cdrom.c`, since this file is the
+place where the behavior of all CD-ROM-devices is defined and
+standardized. The actual interface to the various types of CD-ROM
+hardware is still performed by various low-level CD-ROM-device
+drivers. These routines simply implement certain **capabilities**
+that are common to all CD-ROM (and really, all removable-media
+devices).
+
+Registration of a low-level CD-ROM device driver is now done through
+the general routines in `cdrom.c`, not through the Virtual File System
+(VFS) any more. The interface implemented in `cdrom.c` is carried out
+through two general structures that contain information about the
+capabilities of the driver, and the specific drives on which the
+driver operates. The structures are:
+
+cdrom_device_ops
+ This structure contains information about the low-level driver for a
+ CD-ROM device. This structure is conceptually connected to the major
+ number of the device (although some drivers may have different
+ major numbers, as is the case for the IDE driver).
+
+cdrom_device_info
+ This structure contains information about a particular CD-ROM drive,
+ such as its device name, speed, etc. This structure is conceptually
+ connected to the minor number of the device.
+
+Registering a particular CD-ROM drive with the Uniform CD-ROM Driver
+is done by the low-level device driver though a call to::
+
+ register_cdrom(struct cdrom_device_info * <device>_info)
+
+The device information structure, *<device>_info*, contains all the
+information needed for the kernel to interface with the low-level
+CD-ROM device driver. One of the most important entries in this
+structure is a pointer to the *cdrom_device_ops* structure of the
+low-level driver.
+
+The device operations structure, *cdrom_device_ops*, contains a list
+of pointers to the functions which are implemented in the low-level
+device driver. When `cdrom.c` accesses a CD-ROM device, it does it
+through the functions in this structure. It is impossible to know all
+the capabilities of future CD-ROM drives, so it is expected that this
+list may need to be expanded from time to time as new technologies are
+developed. For example, CD-R and CD-R/W drives are beginning to become
+popular, and support will soon need to be added for them. For now, the
+current *struct* is::
+
+ struct cdrom_device_ops {
+ int (*open)(struct cdrom_device_info *, int)
+ void (*release)(struct cdrom_device_info *);
+ int (*drive_status)(struct cdrom_device_info *, int);
+ unsigned int (*check_events)(struct cdrom_device_info *,
+ unsigned int, int);
+ int (*media_changed)(struct cdrom_device_info *, int);
+ int (*tray_move)(struct cdrom_device_info *, int);
+ int (*lock_door)(struct cdrom_device_info *, int);
+ int (*select_speed)(struct cdrom_device_info *, int);
+ int (*select_disc)(struct cdrom_device_info *, int);
+ int (*get_last_session) (struct cdrom_device_info *,
+ struct cdrom_multisession *);
+ int (*get_mcn)(struct cdrom_device_info *, struct cdrom_mcn *);
+ int (*reset)(struct cdrom_device_info *);
+ int (*audio_ioctl)(struct cdrom_device_info *,
+ unsigned int, void *);
+ const int capability; /* capability flags */
+ int (*generic_packet)(struct cdrom_device_info *,
+ struct packet_command *);
+ };
+
+When a low-level device driver implements one of these capabilities,
+it should add a function pointer to this *struct*. When a particular
+function is not implemented, however, this *struct* should contain a
+NULL instead. The *capability* flags specify the capabilities of the
+CD-ROM hardware and/or low-level CD-ROM driver when a CD-ROM drive
+is registered with the Uniform CD-ROM Driver.
+
+Note that most functions have fewer parameters than their
+*blkdev_fops* counterparts. This is because very little of the
+information in the structures *inode* and *file* is used. For most
+drivers, the main parameter is the *struct* *cdrom_device_info*, from
+which the major and minor number can be extracted. (Most low-level
+CD-ROM drivers don't even look at the major and minor number though,
+since many of them only support one device.) This will be available
+through *dev* in *cdrom_device_info* described below.
+
+The drive-specific, minor-like information that is registered with
+`cdrom.c`, currently contains the following fields::
+
+ struct cdrom_device_info {
+ const struct cdrom_device_ops * ops; /* device operations for this major */
+ struct list_head list; /* linked list of all device_info */
+ struct gendisk * disk; /* matching block layer disk */
+ void * handle; /* driver-dependent data */
+
+ int mask; /* mask of capability: disables them */
+ int speed; /* maximum speed for reading data */
+ int capacity; /* number of discs in a jukebox */
+
+ unsigned int options:30; /* options flags */
+ unsigned mc_flags:2; /* media-change buffer flags */
+ unsigned int vfs_events; /* cached events for vfs path */
+ unsigned int ioctl_events; /* cached events for ioctl path */
+ int use_count; /* number of times device is opened */
+ char name[20]; /* name of the device type */
+
+ __u8 sanyo_slot : 2; /* Sanyo 3-CD changer support */
+ __u8 keeplocked : 1; /* CDROM_LOCKDOOR status */
+ __u8 reserved : 5; /* not used yet */
+ int cdda_method; /* see CDDA_* flags */
+ __u8 last_sense; /* saves last sense key */
+ __u8 media_written; /* dirty flag, DVD+RW bookkeeping */
+ unsigned short mmc3_profile; /* current MMC3 profile */
+ int for_data; /* unknown:TBD */
+ int (*exit)(struct cdrom_device_info *);/* unknown:TBD */
+ int mrw_mode_page; /* which MRW mode page is in use */
+ };
+
+Using this *struct*, a linked list of the registered minor devices is
+built, using the *next* field. The device number, the device operations
+struct and specifications of properties of the drive are stored in this
+structure.
+
+The *mask* flags can be used to mask out some of the capabilities listed
+in *ops->capability*, if a specific drive doesn't support a feature
+of the driver. The value *speed* specifies the maximum head-rate of the
+drive, measured in units of normal audio speed (176kB/sec raw data or
+150kB/sec file system data). The parameters are declared *const*
+because they describe properties of the drive, which don't change after
+registration.
+
+A few registers contain variables local to the CD-ROM drive. The
+flags *options* are used to specify how the general CD-ROM routines
+should behave. These various flags registers should provide enough
+flexibility to adapt to the different users' wishes (and **not** the
+`arbitrary` wishes of the author of the low-level device driver, as is
+the case in the old scheme). The register *mc_flags* is used to buffer
+the information from *media_changed()* to two separate queues. Other
+data that is specific to a minor drive, can be accessed through *handle*,
+which can point to a data structure specific to the low-level driver.
+The fields *use_count*, *next*, *options* and *mc_flags* need not be
+initialized.
+
+The intermediate software layer that `cdrom.c` forms will perform some
+additional bookkeeping. The use count of the device (the number of
+processes that have the device opened) is registered in *use_count*. The
+function *cdrom_ioctl()* will verify the appropriate user-memory regions
+for read and write, and in case a location on the CD is transferred,
+it will `sanitize` the format by making requests to the low-level
+drivers in a standard format, and translating all formats between the
+user-software and low level drivers. This relieves much of the drivers'
+memory checking and format checking and translation. Also, the necessary
+structures will be declared on the program stack.
+
+The implementation of the functions should be as defined in the
+following sections. Two functions **must** be implemented, namely
+*open()* and *release()*. Other functions may be omitted, their
+corresponding capability flags will be cleared upon registration.
+Generally, a function returns zero on success and negative on error. A
+function call should return only after the command has completed, but of
+course waiting for the device should not use processor time.
+
+::
+
+ int open(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, int purpose)
+
+*Open()* should try to open the device for a specific *purpose*, which
+can be either:
+
+- Open for reading data, as done by `mount()` (2), or the
+ user commands `dd` or `cat`.
+- Open for *ioctl* commands, as done by audio-CD playing programs.
+
+Notice that any strategic code (closing tray upon *open()*, etc.) is
+done by the calling routine in `cdrom.c`, so the low-level routine
+should only be concerned with proper initialization, such as spinning
+up the disc, etc.
+
+::
+
+ void release(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi)
+
+Device-specific actions should be taken such as spinning down the device.
+However, strategic actions such as ejection of the tray, or unlocking
+the door, should be left over to the general routine *cdrom_release()*.
+This is the only function returning type *void*.
+
+.. _cdrom_drive_status:
+
+::
+
+ int drive_status(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, int slot_nr)
+
+The function *drive_status*, if implemented, should provide
+information on the status of the drive (not the status of the disc,
+which may or may not be in the drive). If the drive is not a changer,
+*slot_nr* should be ignored. In `cdrom.h` the possibilities are listed::
+
+
+ CDS_NO_INFO /* no information available */
+ CDS_NO_DISC /* no disc is inserted, tray is closed */
+ CDS_TRAY_OPEN /* tray is opened */
+ CDS_DRIVE_NOT_READY /* something is wrong, tray is moving? */
+ CDS_DISC_OK /* a disc is loaded and everything is fine */
+
+::
+
+ int media_changed(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, int disc_nr)
+
+This function is very similar to the original function in $struct
+file_operations*. It returns 1 if the medium of the device *cdi->dev*
+has changed since the last call, and 0 otherwise. The parameter
+*disc_nr* identifies a specific slot in a juke-box, it should be
+ignored for single-disc drives. Note that by `re-routing` this
+function through *cdrom_media_changed()*, we can implement separate
+queues for the VFS and a new *ioctl()* function that can report device
+changes to software (e. g., an auto-mounting daemon).
+
+::
+
+ int tray_move(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, int position)
+
+This function, if implemented, should control the tray movement. (No
+other function should control this.) The parameter *position* controls
+the desired direction of movement:
+
+- 0 Close tray
+- 1 Open tray
+
+This function returns 0 upon success, and a non-zero value upon
+error. Note that if the tray is already in the desired position, no
+action need be taken, and the return value should be 0.
+
+::
+
+ int lock_door(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, int lock)
+
+This function (and no other code) controls locking of the door, if the
+drive allows this. The value of *lock* controls the desired locking
+state:
+
+- 0 Unlock door, manual opening is allowed
+- 1 Lock door, tray cannot be ejected manually
+
+This function returns 0 upon success, and a non-zero value upon
+error. Note that if the door is already in the requested state, no
+action need be taken, and the return value should be 0.
+
+::
+
+ int select_speed(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, int speed)
+
+Some CD-ROM drives are capable of changing their head-speed. There
+are several reasons for changing the speed of a CD-ROM drive. Badly
+pressed CD-ROM s may benefit from less-than-maximum head rate. Modern
+CD-ROM drives can obtain very high head rates (up to *24x* is
+common). It has been reported that these drives can make reading
+errors at these high speeds, reducing the speed can prevent data loss
+in these circumstances. Finally, some of these drives can
+make an annoyingly loud noise, which a lower speed may reduce.
+
+This function specifies the speed at which data is read or audio is
+played back. The value of *speed* specifies the head-speed of the
+drive, measured in units of standard cdrom speed (176kB/sec raw data
+or 150kB/sec file system data). So to request that a CD-ROM drive
+operate at 300kB/sec you would call the CDROM_SELECT_SPEED *ioctl*
+with *speed=2*. The special value `0` means `auto-selection`, i. e.,
+maximum data-rate or real-time audio rate. If the drive doesn't have
+this `auto-selection` capability, the decision should be made on the
+current disc loaded and the return value should be positive. A negative
+return value indicates an error.
+
+::
+
+ int select_disc(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, int number)
+
+If the drive can store multiple discs (a juke-box) this function
+will perform disc selection. It should return the number of the
+selected disc on success, a negative value on error. Currently, only
+the ide-cd driver supports this functionality.
+
+::
+
+ int get_last_session(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi,
+ struct cdrom_multisession *ms_info)
+
+This function should implement the old corresponding *ioctl()*. For
+device *cdi->dev*, the start of the last session of the current disc
+should be returned in the pointer argument *ms_info*. Note that
+routines in `cdrom.c` have sanitized this argument: its requested
+format will **always** be of the type *CDROM_LBA* (linear block
+addressing mode), whatever the calling software requested. But
+sanitization goes even further: the low-level implementation may
+return the requested information in *CDROM_MSF* format if it wishes so
+(setting the *ms_info->addr_format* field appropriately, of
+course) and the routines in `cdrom.c` will make the transformation if
+necessary. The return value is 0 upon success.
+
+::
+
+ int get_mcn(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi,
+ struct cdrom_mcn *mcn)
+
+Some discs carry a `Media Catalog Number` (MCN), also called
+`Universal Product Code` (UPC). This number should reflect the number
+that is generally found in the bar-code on the product. Unfortunately,
+the few discs that carry such a number on the disc don't even use the
+same format. The return argument to this function is a pointer to a
+pre-declared memory region of type *struct cdrom_mcn*. The MCN is
+expected as a 13-character string, terminated by a null-character.
+
+::
+
+ int reset(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi)
+
+This call should perform a hard-reset on the drive (although in
+circumstances that a hard-reset is necessary, a drive may very well not
+listen to commands anymore). Preferably, control is returned to the
+caller only after the drive has finished resetting. If the drive is no
+longer listening, it may be wise for the underlying low-level cdrom
+driver to time out.
+
+::
+
+ int audio_ioctl(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi,
+ unsigned int cmd, void *arg)
+
+Some of the CD-ROM-\ *ioctl()*\ 's defined in `cdrom.h` can be
+implemented by the routines described above, and hence the function
+*cdrom_ioctl* will use those. However, most *ioctl()*\ 's deal with
+audio-control. We have decided to leave these to be accessed through a
+single function, repeating the arguments *cmd* and *arg*. Note that
+the latter is of type *void*, rather than *unsigned long int*.
+The routine *cdrom_ioctl()* does do some useful things,
+though. It sanitizes the address format type to *CDROM_MSF* (Minutes,
+Seconds, Frames) for all audio calls. It also verifies the memory
+location of *arg*, and reserves stack-memory for the argument. This
+makes implementation of the *audio_ioctl()* much simpler than in the
+old driver scheme. For example, you may look up the function
+*cm206_audio_ioctl()* `cm206.c` that should be updated with
+this documentation.
+
+An unimplemented ioctl should return *-ENOSYS*, but a harmless request
+(e. g., *CDROMSTART*) may be ignored by returning 0 (success). Other
+errors should be according to the standards, whatever they are. When
+an error is returned by the low-level driver, the Uniform CD-ROM Driver
+tries whenever possible to return the error code to the calling program.
+(We may decide to sanitize the return value in *cdrom_ioctl()* though, in
+order to guarantee a uniform interface to the audio-player software.)
+
+::
+
+ int dev_ioctl(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi,
+ unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
+
+Some *ioctl()'s* seem to be specific to certain CD-ROM drives. That is,
+they are introduced to service some capabilities of certain drives. In
+fact, there are 6 different *ioctl()'s* for reading data, either in some
+particular kind of format, or audio data. Not many drives support
+reading audio tracks as data, I believe this is because of protection
+of copyrights of artists. Moreover, I think that if audio-tracks are
+supported, it should be done through the VFS and not via *ioctl()'s*. A
+problem here could be the fact that audio-frames are 2352 bytes long,
+so either the audio-file-system should ask for 75264 bytes at once
+(the least common multiple of 512 and 2352), or the drivers should
+bend their backs to cope with this incoherence (to which I would be
+opposed). Furthermore, it is very difficult for the hardware to find
+the exact frame boundaries, since there are no synchronization headers
+in audio frames. Once these issues are resolved, this code should be
+standardized in `cdrom.c`.
+
+Because there are so many *ioctl()'s* that seem to be introduced to
+satisfy certain drivers [#f2]_, any non-standard *ioctl()*\ s
+are routed through the call *dev_ioctl()*. In principle, `private`
+*ioctl()*\ 's should be numbered after the device's major number, and not
+the general CD-ROM *ioctl* number, `0x53`. Currently the
+non-supported *ioctl()'s* are:
+
+ CDROMREADMODE1, CDROMREADMODE2, CDROMREADAUDIO, CDROMREADRAW,
+ CDROMREADCOOKED, CDROMSEEK, CDROMPLAY-BLK and CDROM-READALL
+
+.. [#f2]
+
+ Is there software around that actually uses these? I'd be interested!
+
+.. _cdrom_capabilities:
+
+CD-ROM capabilities
+-------------------
+
+Instead of just implementing some *ioctl* calls, the interface in
+`cdrom.c` supplies the possibility to indicate the **capabilities**
+of a CD-ROM drive. This can be done by ORing any number of
+capability-constants that are defined in `cdrom.h` at the registration
+phase. Currently, the capabilities are any of::
+
+ CDC_CLOSE_TRAY /* can close tray by software control */
+ CDC_OPEN_TRAY /* can open tray */
+ CDC_LOCK /* can lock and unlock the door */
+ CDC_SELECT_SPEED /* can select speed, in units of * sim*150 ,kB/s */
+ CDC_SELECT_DISC /* drive is juke-box */
+ CDC_MULTI_SESSION /* can read sessions *> rm1* */
+ CDC_MCN /* can read Media Catalog Number */
+ CDC_MEDIA_CHANGED /* can report if disc has changed */
+ CDC_PLAY_AUDIO /* can perform audio-functions (play, pause, etc) */
+ CDC_RESET /* hard reset device */
+ CDC_IOCTLS /* driver has non-standard ioctls */
+ CDC_DRIVE_STATUS /* driver implements drive status */
+
+The capability flag is declared *const*, to prevent drivers from
+accidentally tampering with the contents. The capability fags actually
+inform `cdrom.c` of what the driver can do. If the drive found
+by the driver does not have the capability, is can be masked out by
+the *cdrom_device_info* variable *mask*. For instance, the SCSI CD-ROM
+driver has implemented the code for loading and ejecting CD-ROM's, and
+hence its corresponding flags in *capability* will be set. But a SCSI
+CD-ROM drive might be a caddy system, which can't load the tray, and
+hence for this drive the *cdrom_device_info* struct will have set
+the *CDC_CLOSE_TRAY* bit in *mask*.
+
+In the file `cdrom.c` you will encounter many constructions of the type::
+
+ if (cdo->capability & ∼cdi->mask & CDC _⟨capability⟩) ...
+
+There is no *ioctl* to set the mask... The reason is that
+I think it is better to control the **behavior** rather than the
+**capabilities**.
+
+Options
+-------
+
+A final flag register controls the **behavior** of the CD-ROM
+drives, in order to satisfy different users' wishes, hopefully
+independently of the ideas of the respective author who happened to
+have made the drive's support available to the Linux community. The
+current behavior options are::
+
+ CDO_AUTO_CLOSE /* try to close tray upon device open() */
+ CDO_AUTO_EJECT /* try to open tray on last device close() */
+ CDO_USE_FFLAGS /* use file_pointer->f_flags to indicate purpose for open() */
+ CDO_LOCK /* try to lock door if device is opened */
+ CDO_CHECK_TYPE /* ensure disc type is data if opened for data */
+
+The initial value of this register is
+`CDO_AUTO_CLOSE | CDO_USE_FFLAGS | CDO_LOCK`, reflecting my own view on user
+interface and software standards. Before you protest, there are two
+new *ioctl()'s* implemented in `cdrom.c`, that allow you to control the
+behavior by software. These are::
+
+ CDROM_SET_OPTIONS /* set options specified in (int)arg */
+ CDROM_CLEAR_OPTIONS /* clear options specified in (int)arg */
+
+One option needs some more explanation: *CDO_USE_FFLAGS*. In the next
+newsection we explain what the need for this option is.
+
+A software package `setcd`, available from the Debian distribution
+and `sunsite.unc.edu`, allows user level control of these flags.
+
+
+The need to know the purpose of opening the CD-ROM device
+=========================================================
+
+Traditionally, Unix devices can be used in two different `modes`,
+either by reading/writing to the device file, or by issuing
+controlling commands to the device, by the device's *ioctl()*
+call. The problem with CD-ROM drives, is that they can be used for
+two entirely different purposes. One is to mount removable
+file systems, CD-ROM's, the other is to play audio CD's. Audio commands
+are implemented entirely through *ioctl()\'s*, presumably because the
+first implementation (SUN?) has been such. In principle there is
+nothing wrong with this, but a good control of the `CD player` demands
+that the device can **always** be opened in order to give the
+*ioctl* commands, regardless of the state the drive is in.
+
+On the other hand, when used as a removable-media disc drive (what the
+original purpose of CD-ROM s is) we would like to make sure that the
+disc drive is ready for operation upon opening the device. In the old
+scheme, some CD-ROM drivers don't do any integrity checking, resulting
+in a number of i/o errors reported by the VFS to the kernel when an
+attempt for mounting a CD-ROM on an empty drive occurs. This is not a
+particularly elegant way to find out that there is no CD-ROM inserted;
+it more-or-less looks like the old IBM-PC trying to read an empty floppy
+drive for a couple of seconds, after which the system complains it
+can't read from it. Nowadays we can **sense** the existence of a
+removable medium in a drive, and we believe we should exploit that
+fact. An integrity check on opening of the device, that verifies the
+availability of a CD-ROM and its correct type (data), would be
+desirable.
+
+These two ways of using a CD-ROM drive, principally for data and
+secondarily for playing audio discs, have different demands for the
+behavior of the *open()* call. Audio use simply wants to open the
+device in order to get a file handle which is needed for issuing
+*ioctl* commands, while data use wants to open for correct and
+reliable data transfer. The only way user programs can indicate what
+their *purpose* of opening the device is, is through the *flags*
+parameter (see `open(2)`). For CD-ROM devices, these flags aren't
+implemented (some drivers implement checking for write-related flags,
+but this is not strictly necessary if the device file has correct
+permission flags). Most option flags simply don't make sense to
+CD-ROM devices: *O_CREAT*, *O_NOCTTY*, *O_TRUNC*, *O_APPEND*, and
+*O_SYNC* have no meaning to a CD-ROM.
+
+We therefore propose to use the flag *O_NONBLOCK* to indicate
+that the device is opened just for issuing *ioctl*
+commands. Strictly, the meaning of *O_NONBLOCK* is that opening and
+subsequent calls to the device don't cause the calling process to
+wait. We could interpret this as don't wait until someone has
+inserted some valid data-CD-ROM. Thus, our proposal of the
+implementation for the *open()* call for CD-ROM s is:
+
+- If no other flags are set than *O_RDONLY*, the device is opened
+ for data transfer, and the return value will be 0 only upon successful
+ initialization of the transfer. The call may even induce some actions
+ on the CD-ROM, such as closing the tray.
+- If the option flag *O_NONBLOCK* is set, opening will always be
+ successful, unless the whole device doesn't exist. The drive will take
+ no actions whatsoever.
+
+And what about standards?
+-------------------------
+
+You might hesitate to accept this proposal as it comes from the
+Linux community, and not from some standardizing institute. What
+about SUN, SGI, HP and all those other Unix and hardware vendors?
+Well, these companies are in the lucky position that they generally
+control both the hardware and software of their supported products,
+and are large enough to set their own standard. They do not have to
+deal with a dozen or more different, competing hardware
+configurations\ [#f3]_.
+
+.. [#f3]
+
+ Incidentally, I think that SUN's approach to mounting CD-ROM s is very
+ good in origin: under Solaris a volume-daemon automatically mounts a
+ newly inserted CD-ROM under `/cdrom/*<volume-name>*`.
+
+ In my opinion they should have pushed this
+ further and have **every** CD-ROM on the local area network be
+ mounted at the similar location, i. e., no matter in which particular
+ machine you insert a CD-ROM, it will always appear at the same
+ position in the directory tree, on every system. When I wanted to
+ implement such a user-program for Linux, I came across the
+ differences in behavior of the various drivers, and the need for an
+ *ioctl* informing about media changes.
+
+We believe that using *O_NONBLOCK* to indicate that a device is being opened
+for *ioctl* commands only can be easily introduced in the Linux
+community. All the CD-player authors will have to be informed, we can
+even send in our own patches to the programs. The use of *O_NONBLOCK*
+has most likely no influence on the behavior of the CD-players on
+other operating systems than Linux. Finally, a user can always revert
+to old behavior by a call to
+*ioctl(file_descriptor, CDROM_CLEAR_OPTIONS, CDO_USE_FFLAGS)*.
+
+The preferred strategy of *open()*
+----------------------------------
+
+The routines in `cdrom.c` are designed in such a way that run-time
+configuration of the behavior of CD-ROM devices (of **any** type)
+can be carried out, by the *CDROM_SET/CLEAR_OPTIONS* *ioctls*. Thus, various
+modes of operation can be set:
+
+`CDO_AUTO_CLOSE | CDO_USE_FFLAGS | CDO_LOCK`
+ This is the default setting. (With *CDO_CHECK_TYPE* it will be better, in
+ the future.) If the device is not yet opened by any other process, and if
+ the device is being opened for data (*O_NONBLOCK* is not set) and the
+ tray is found to be open, an attempt to close the tray is made. Then,
+ it is verified that a disc is in the drive and, if *CDO_CHECK_TYPE* is
+ set, that it contains tracks of type `data mode 1`. Only if all tests
+ are passed is the return value zero. The door is locked to prevent file
+ system corruption. If the drive is opened for audio (*O_NONBLOCK* is
+ set), no actions are taken and a value of 0 will be returned.
+
+`CDO_AUTO_CLOSE | CDO_AUTO_EJECT | CDO_LOCK`
+ This mimics the behavior of the current sbpcd-driver. The option flags are
+ ignored, the tray is closed on the first open, if necessary. Similarly,
+ the tray is opened on the last release, i. e., if a CD-ROM is unmounted,
+ it is automatically ejected, such that the user can replace it.
+
+We hope that these option can convince everybody (both driver
+maintainers and user program developers) to adopt the new CD-ROM
+driver scheme and option flag interpretation.
+
+Description of routines in `cdrom.c`
+====================================
+
+Only a few routines in `cdrom.c` are exported to the drivers. In this
+new section we will discuss these, as well as the functions that `take
+over' the CD-ROM interface to the kernel. The header file belonging
+to `cdrom.c` is called `cdrom.h`. Formerly, some of the contents of this
+file were placed in the file `ucdrom.h`, but this file has now been
+merged back into `cdrom.h`.
+
+::
+
+ struct file_operations cdrom_fops
+
+The contents of this structure were described in cdrom_api_.
+A pointer to this structure is assigned to the *fops* field
+of the *struct gendisk*.
+
+::
+
+ int register_cdrom(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi)
+
+This function is used in about the same way one registers *cdrom_fops*
+with the kernel, the device operations and information structures,
+as described in cdrom_api_, should be registered with the
+Uniform CD-ROM Driver::
+
+ register_cdrom(&<device>_info);
+
+
+This function returns zero upon success, and non-zero upon
+failure. The structure *<device>_info* should have a pointer to the
+driver's *<device>_dops*, as in::
+
+ struct cdrom_device_info <device>_info = {
+ <device>_dops;
+ ...
+ }
+
+Note that a driver must have one static structure, *<device>_dops*, while
+it may have as many structures *<device>_info* as there are minor devices
+active. *Register_cdrom()* builds a linked list from these.
+
+
+::
+
+ void unregister_cdrom(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi)
+
+Unregistering device *cdi* with minor number *MINOR(cdi->dev)* removes
+the minor device from the list. If it was the last registered minor for
+the low-level driver, this disconnects the registered device-operation
+routines from the CD-ROM interface. This function returns zero upon
+success, and non-zero upon failure.
+
+::
+
+ int cdrom_open(struct inode * ip, struct file * fp)
+
+This function is not called directly by the low-level drivers, it is
+listed in the standard *cdrom_fops*. If the VFS opens a file, this
+function becomes active. A strategy is implemented in this routine,
+taking care of all capabilities and options that are set in the
+*cdrom_device_ops* connected to the device. Then, the program flow is
+transferred to the device_dependent *open()* call.
+
+::
+
+ void cdrom_release(struct inode *ip, struct file *fp)
+
+This function implements the reverse-logic of *cdrom_open()*, and then
+calls the device-dependent *release()* routine. When the use-count has
+reached 0, the allocated buffers are flushed by calls to *sync_dev(dev)*
+and *invalidate_buffers(dev)*.
+
+
+.. _cdrom_ioctl:
+
+::
+
+ int cdrom_ioctl(struct inode *ip, struct file *fp,
+ unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
+
+This function handles all the standard *ioctl* requests for CD-ROM
+devices in a uniform way. The different calls fall into three
+categories: *ioctl()'s* that can be directly implemented by device
+operations, ones that are routed through the call *audio_ioctl()*, and
+the remaining ones, that are presumable device-dependent. Generally, a
+negative return value indicates an error.
+
+Directly implemented *ioctl()'s*
+--------------------------------
+
+The following `old` CD-ROM *ioctl()*\ 's are implemented by directly
+calling device-operations in *cdrom_device_ops*, if implemented and
+not masked:
+
+`CDROMMULTISESSION`
+ Requests the last session on a CD-ROM.
+`CDROMEJECT`
+ Open tray.
+`CDROMCLOSETRAY`
+ Close tray.
+`CDROMEJECT_SW`
+ If *arg\not=0*, set behavior to auto-close (close
+ tray on first open) and auto-eject (eject on last release), otherwise
+ set behavior to non-moving on *open()* and *release()* calls.
+`CDROM_GET_MCN`
+ Get the Media Catalog Number from a CD.
+
+*Ioctl*s routed through *audio_ioctl()*
+---------------------------------------
+
+The following set of *ioctl()'s* are all implemented through a call to
+the *cdrom_fops* function *audio_ioctl()*. Memory checks and
+allocation are performed in *cdrom_ioctl()*, and also sanitization of
+address format (*CDROM_LBA*/*CDROM_MSF*) is done.
+
+`CDROMSUBCHNL`
+ Get sub-channel data in argument *arg* of type
+ `struct cdrom_subchnl *`.
+`CDROMREADTOCHDR`
+ Read Table of Contents header, in *arg* of type
+ `struct cdrom_tochdr *`.
+`CDROMREADTOCENTRY`
+ Read a Table of Contents entry in *arg* and specified by *arg*
+ of type `struct cdrom_tocentry *`.
+`CDROMPLAYMSF`
+ Play audio fragment specified in Minute, Second, Frame format,
+ delimited by *arg* of type `struct cdrom_msf *`.
+`CDROMPLAYTRKIND`
+ Play audio fragment in track-index format delimited by *arg*
+ of type `struct cdrom_ti *`.
+`CDROMVOLCTRL`
+ Set volume specified by *arg* of type `struct cdrom_volctrl *`.
+`CDROMVOLREAD`
+ Read volume into by *arg* of type `struct cdrom_volctrl *`.
+`CDROMSTART`
+ Spin up disc.
+`CDROMSTOP`
+ Stop playback of audio fragment.
+`CDROMPAUSE`
+ Pause playback of audio fragment.
+`CDROMRESUME`
+ Resume playing.
+
+New *ioctl()'s* in `cdrom.c`
+----------------------------
+
+The following *ioctl()'s* have been introduced to allow user programs to
+control the behavior of individual CD-ROM devices. New *ioctl*
+commands can be identified by the underscores in their names.
+
+`CDROM_SET_OPTIONS`
+ Set options specified by *arg*. Returns the option flag register
+ after modification. Use *arg = \rm0* for reading the current flags.
+`CDROM_CLEAR_OPTIONS`
+ Clear options specified by *arg*. Returns the option flag register
+ after modification.
+`CDROM_SELECT_SPEED`
+ Select head-rate speed of disc specified as by *arg* in units
+ of standard cdrom speed (176\,kB/sec raw data or
+ 150kB/sec file system data). The value 0 means `auto-select`,
+ i. e., play audio discs at real time and data discs at maximum speed.
+ The value *arg* is checked against the maximum head rate of the
+ drive found in the *cdrom_dops*.
+`CDROM_SELECT_DISC`
+ Select disc numbered *arg* from a juke-box.
+
+ First disc is numbered 0. The number *arg* is checked against the
+ maximum number of discs in the juke-box found in the *cdrom_dops*.
+`CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED`
+ Returns 1 if a disc has been changed since the last call.
+ Note that calls to *cdrom_media_changed* by the VFS are treated
+ by an independent queue, so both mechanisms will detect a
+ media change once. For juke-boxes, an extra argument *arg*
+ specifies the slot for which the information is given. The special
+ value *CDSL_CURRENT* requests that information about the currently
+ selected slot be returned.
+`CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS`
+ Returns the status of the drive by a call to
+ *drive_status()*. Return values are defined in cdrom_drive_status_.
+ Note that this call doesn't return information on the
+ current playing activity of the drive; this can be polled through
+ an *ioctl* call to *CDROMSUBCHNL*. For juke-boxes, an extra argument
+ *arg* specifies the slot for which (possibly limited) information is
+ given. The special value *CDSL_CURRENT* requests that information
+ about the currently selected slot be returned.
+`CDROM_DISC_STATUS`
+ Returns the type of the disc currently in the drive.
+ It should be viewed as a complement to *CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS*.
+ This *ioctl* can provide *some* information about the current
+ disc that is inserted in the drive. This functionality used to be
+ implemented in the low level drivers, but is now carried out
+ entirely in Uniform CD-ROM Driver.
+
+ The history of development of the CD's use as a carrier medium for
+ various digital information has lead to many different disc types.
+ This *ioctl* is useful only in the case that CDs have \emph {only
+ one} type of data on them. While this is often the case, it is
+ also very common for CDs to have some tracks with data, and some
+ tracks with audio. Because this is an existing interface, rather
+ than fixing this interface by changing the assumptions it was made
+ under, thereby breaking all user applications that use this
+ function, the Uniform CD-ROM Driver implements this *ioctl* as
+ follows: If the CD in question has audio tracks on it, and it has
+ absolutely no CD-I, XA, or data tracks on it, it will be reported
+ as *CDS_AUDIO*. If it has both audio and data tracks, it will
+ return *CDS_MIXED*. If there are no audio tracks on the disc, and
+ if the CD in question has any CD-I tracks on it, it will be
+ reported as *CDS_XA_2_2*. Failing that, if the CD in question
+ has any XA tracks on it, it will be reported as *CDS_XA_2_1*.
+ Finally, if the CD in question has any data tracks on it,
+ it will be reported as a data CD (*CDS_DATA_1*).
+
+ This *ioctl* can return::
+
+ CDS_NO_INFO /* no information available */
+ CDS_NO_DISC /* no disc is inserted, or tray is opened */
+ CDS_AUDIO /* Audio disc (2352 audio bytes/frame) */
+ CDS_DATA_1 /* data disc, mode 1 (2048 user bytes/frame) */
+ CDS_XA_2_1 /* mixed data (XA), mode 2, form 1 (2048 user bytes) */
+ CDS_XA_2_2 /* mixed data (XA), mode 2, form 1 (2324 user bytes) */
+ CDS_MIXED /* mixed audio/data disc */
+
+ For some information concerning frame layout of the various disc
+ types, see a recent version of `cdrom.h`.
+
+`CDROM_CHANGER_NSLOTS`
+ Returns the number of slots in a juke-box.
+`CDROMRESET`
+ Reset the drive.
+`CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY`
+ Returns the *capability* flags for the drive. Refer to section
+ cdrom_capabilities_ for more information on these flags.
+`CDROM_LOCKDOOR`
+ Locks the door of the drive. `arg == 0` unlocks the door,
+ any other value locks it.
+`CDROM_DEBUG`
+ Turns on debugging info. Only root is allowed to do this.
+ Same semantics as CDROM_LOCKDOOR.
+
+
+Device dependent *ioctl()'s*
+----------------------------
+
+Finally, all other *ioctl()'s* are passed to the function *dev_ioctl()*,
+if implemented. No memory allocation or verification is carried out.
+
+How to update your driver
+=========================
+
+- Make a backup of your current driver.
+- Get hold of the files `cdrom.c` and `cdrom.h`, they should be in
+ the directory tree that came with this documentation.
+- Make sure you include `cdrom.h`.
+- Change the 3rd argument of *register_blkdev* from `&<your-drive>_fops`
+ to `&cdrom_fops`.
+- Just after that line, add the following to register with the Uniform
+ CD-ROM Driver::
+
+ register_cdrom(&<your-drive>_info);*
+
+ Similarly, add a call to *unregister_cdrom()* at the appropriate place.
+- Copy an example of the device-operations *struct* to your
+ source, e. g., from `cm206.c` *cm206_dops*, and change all
+ entries to names corresponding to your driver, or names you just
+ happen to like. If your driver doesn't support a certain function,
+ make the entry *NULL*. At the entry *capability* you should list all
+ capabilities your driver currently supports. If your driver
+ has a capability that is not listed, please send me a message.
+- Copy the *cdrom_device_info* declaration from the same example
+ driver, and modify the entries according to your needs. If your
+ driver dynamically determines the capabilities of the hardware, this
+ structure should also be declared dynamically.
+- Implement all functions in your `<device>_dops` structure,
+ according to prototypes listed in `cdrom.h`, and specifications given
+ in cdrom_api_. Most likely you have already implemented
+ the code in a large part, and you will almost certainly need to adapt the
+ prototype and return values.
+- Rename your `<device>_ioctl()` function to *audio_ioctl* and
+ change the prototype a little. Remove entries listed in the first
+ part in cdrom_ioctl_, if your code was OK, these are
+ just calls to the routines you adapted in the previous step.
+- You may remove all remaining memory checking code in the
+ *audio_ioctl()* function that deals with audio commands (these are
+ listed in the second part of cdrom_ioctl_. There is no
+ need for memory allocation either, so most *case*s in the *switch*
+ statement look similar to::
+
+ case CDROMREADTOCENTRY:
+ get_toc_entry\bigl((struct cdrom_tocentry *) arg);
+
+- All remaining *ioctl* cases must be moved to a separate
+ function, *<device>_ioctl*, the device-dependent *ioctl()'s*. Note that
+ memory checking and allocation must be kept in this code!
+- Change the prototypes of *<device>_open()* and
+ *<device>_release()*, and remove any strategic code (i. e., tray
+ movement, door locking, etc.).
+- Try to recompile the drivers. We advise you to use modules, both
+ for `cdrom.o` and your driver, as debugging is much easier this
+ way.
+
+Thanks
+======
+
+Thanks to all the people involved. First, Erik Andersen, who has
+taken over the torch in maintaining `cdrom.c` and integrating much
+CD-ROM-related code in the 2.1-kernel. Thanks to Scott Snyder and
+Gerd Knorr, who were the first to implement this interface for SCSI
+and IDE-CD drivers and added many ideas for extension of the data
+structures relative to kernel~2.0. Further thanks to Heiko Eißfeldt,
+Thomas Quinot, Jon Tombs, Ken Pizzini, Eberhard Mönkeberg and Andrew Kroll,
+the Linux CD-ROM device driver developers who were kind
+enough to give suggestions and criticisms during the writing. Finally
+of course, I want to thank Linus Torvalds for making this possible in
+the first place.

-\item
- The large list of hardware devices available for the many platforms
- that \linux\ now supports (\ie, i386-PCs, Sparc Suns, etc.)
-\item
- The open design of the operating system, such that anybody can write a
- driver for \linux.
-\item
- There is plenty of source code around as examples of how to write a driver.
-\end{itemize}
-The openness of \linux, and the many different types of available
-hardware has allowed \linux\ to support many different hardware devices.
-Unfortunately, the very openness that has allowed \linux\ to support
-all these different devices has also allowed the behavior of each
-device driver to differ significantly from one device to another.
-This divergence of behavior has been very significant for \cdrom\
-devices; the way a particular drive reacts to a `standard' $ioctl()$
-call varies greatly from one device driver to another. To avoid making
-their drivers totally inconsistent, the writers of \linux\ \cdrom\
-drivers generally created new device drivers by understanding, copying,
-and then changing an existing one. Unfortunately, this practice did not
-maintain uniform behavior across all the \linux\ \cdrom\ drivers.
-
-This document describes an effort to establish Uniform behavior across
-all the different \cdrom\ device drivers for \linux. This document also
-defines the various $ioctl$s, and how the low-level \cdrom\ device
-drivers should implement them. Currently (as of the \linux\ 2.1.$x$
-development kernels) several low-level \cdrom\ device drivers, including
-both IDE/ATAPI and SCSI, now use this Uniform interface.
-
-When the \cdrom\ was developed, the interface between the \cdrom\ drive
-and the computer was not specified in the standards. As a result, many
-different \cdrom\ interfaces were developed. Some of them had their
-own proprietary design (Sony, Mitsumi, Panasonic, Philips), other
-manufacturers adopted an existing electrical interface and changed
-the functionality (CreativeLabs/SoundBlaster, Teac, Funai) or simply
-adapted their drives to one or more of the already existing electrical
-interfaces (Aztech, Sanyo, Funai, Vertos, Longshine, Optics Storage and
-most of the `NoName' manufacturers). In cases where a new drive really
-brought its own interface or used its own command set and flow control
-scheme, either a separate driver had to be written, or an existing
-driver had to be enhanced. History has delivered us \cdrom\ support for
-many of these different interfaces. Nowadays, almost all new \cdrom\
-drives are either IDE/ATAPI or SCSI, and it is very unlikely that any
-manufacturer will create a new interface. Even finding drives for the
-old proprietary interfaces is getting difficult.
-
-When (in the 1.3.70's) I looked at the existing software interface,
-which was expressed through \cdromh, it appeared to be a rather wild
-set of commands and data formats.\footnote{I cannot recollect what
-kernel version I looked at, then, presumably 1.2.13 and 1.3.34---the
-latest kernel that I was indirectly involved in.} It seemed that many
-features of the software interface had been added to accommodate the
-capabilities of a particular drive, in an {\fo ad hoc\/} manner. More
-importantly, it appeared that the behavior of the `standard' commands
-was different for most of the different drivers: \eg, some drivers
-close the tray if an $open()$ call occurs when the tray is open, while
-others do not. Some drivers lock the door upon opening the device, to
-prevent an incoherent file system, but others don't, to allow software
-ejection. Undoubtedly, the capabilities of the different drives vary,
-but even when two drives have the same capability their drivers'
-behavior was usually different.
-
-I decided to start a discussion on how to make all the \linux\ \cdrom\
-drivers behave more uniformly. I began by contacting the developers of
-the many \cdrom\ drivers found in the \linux\ kernel. Their reactions
-encouraged me to write the \UCD\ which this document is intended to
-describe. The implementation of the \UCD\ is in the file \cdromc. This
-driver is intended to be an additional software layer that sits on top
-of the low-level device drivers for each \cdrom\ drive. By adding this
-additional layer, it is possible to have all the different \cdrom\
-devices behave {\em exactly\/} the same (insofar as the underlying
-hardware will allow).
-
-The goal of the \UCD\ is {\em not\/} to alienate driver developers who
-have not yet taken steps to support this effort. The goal of \UCD\ is
-simply to give people writing application programs for \cdrom\ drives
-{\em one\/} \linux\ \cdrom\ interface with consistent behavior for all
-\cdrom\ devices. In addition, this also provides a consistent interface
-between the low-level device driver code and the \linux\ kernel. Care
-is taken that 100\,\% compatibility exists with the data structures and
-programmer's interface defined in \cdromh. This guide was written to
-help \cdrom\ driver developers adapt their code to use the \UCD\ code
-defined in \cdromc.
-
-Personally, I think that the most important hardware interfaces are
-the IDE/ATAPI drives and, of course, the SCSI drives, but as prices
-of hardware drop continuously, it is also likely that people may have
-more than one \cdrom\ drive, possibly of mixed types. It is important
-that these drives behave in the same way. In December 1994, one of the
-cheapest \cdrom\ drives was a Philips cm206, a double-speed proprietary
-drive. In the months that I was busy writing a \linux\ driver for it,
-proprietary drives became obsolete and IDE/ATAPI drives became the
-standard. At the time of the last update to this document (November
-1997) it is becoming difficult to even {\em find} anything less than a
-16 speed \cdrom\ drive, and 24 speed drives are common.
-
-\newsection{Standardizing through another software level}
-\label{cdrom.c}
-
-At the time this document was conceived, all drivers directly
-implemented the \cdrom\ $ioctl()$ calls through their own routines. This
-led to the danger of different drivers forgetting to do important things
-like checking that the user was giving the driver valid data. More
-importantly, this led to the divergence of behavior, which has already
-been discussed.
-
-For this reason, the \UCD\ was created to enforce consistent \cdrom\
-drive behavior, and to provide a common set of services to the various
-low-level \cdrom\ device drivers. The \UCD\ now provides another
-software-level, that separates the $ioctl()$ and $open()$ implementation
-from the actual hardware implementation. Note that this effort has
-made few changes which will affect a user's application programs. The
-greatest change involved moving the contents of the various low-level
-\cdrom\ drivers' header files to the kernel's cdrom directory. This was
-done to help ensure that the user is only presented with only one cdrom
-interface, the interface defined in \cdromh.
-
-\cdrom\ drives are specific enough (\ie, different from other
-block-devices such as floppy or hard disc drives), to define a set
-of common {\em \cdrom\ device operations}, $<cdrom-device>_dops$.
-These operations are different from the classical block-device file
-operations, $<block-device>_fops$.
-
-The routines for the \UCD\ interface level are implemented in the file
-\cdromc. In this file, the \UCD\ interfaces with the kernel as a block
-device by registering the following general $struct\ file_operations$:
-$$
-\halign{$#$\ \hfil&$#$\ \hfil&$/*$ \rm# $*/$\hfil\cr
-struct& file_operations\ cdrom_fops = \{\hidewidth\cr
- &NULL, & lseek \cr
- &block_read, & read---general block-dev read \cr
- &block_write, & write---general block-dev write \cr
- &NULL, & readdir \cr
- &NULL, & select \cr
- &cdrom_ioctl, & ioctl \cr
- &NULL, & mmap \cr
- &cdrom_open, & open \cr
- &cdrom_release, & release \cr
- &NULL, & fsync \cr
- &NULL, & fasync \cr
- &cdrom_media_changed, & media change \cr
- &NULL & revalidate \cr
-\};\cr
-}
-$$
-
-Every active \cdrom\ device shares this $struct$. The routines
-declared above are all implemented in \cdromc, since this file is the
-place where the behavior of all \cdrom-devices is defined and
-standardized. The actual interface to the various types of \cdrom\
-hardware is still performed by various low-level \cdrom-device
-drivers. These routines simply implement certain {\em capabilities\/}
-that are common to all \cdrom\ (and really, all removable-media
-devices).
-
-Registration of a low-level \cdrom\ device driver is now done through
-the general routines in \cdromc, not through the Virtual File System
-(VFS) any more. The interface implemented in \cdromc\ is carried out
-through two general structures that contain information about the
-capabilities of the driver, and the specific drives on which the
-driver operates. The structures are:
-\begin{description}
-\item[$cdrom_device_ops$]
- This structure contains information about the low-level driver for a
- \cdrom\ device. This structure is conceptually connected to the major
- number of the device (although some drivers may have different
- major numbers, as is the case for the IDE driver).
-\item[$cdrom_device_info$]
- This structure contains information about a particular \cdrom\ drive,
- such as its device name, speed, etc. This structure is conceptually
- connected to the minor number of the device.
-\end{description}
-
-Registering a particular \cdrom\ drive with the \UCD\ is done by the
-low-level device driver though a call to:
-$$register_cdrom(struct\ cdrom_device_info * <device>_info)
-$$
-The device information structure, $<device>_info$, contains all the
-information needed for the kernel to interface with the low-level
-\cdrom\ device driver. One of the most important entries in this
-structure is a pointer to the $cdrom_device_ops$ structure of the
-low-level driver.
-
-The device operations structure, $cdrom_device_ops$, contains a list
-of pointers to the functions which are implemented in the low-level
-device driver. When \cdromc\ accesses a \cdrom\ device, it does it
-through the functions in this structure. It is impossible to know all
-the capabilities of future \cdrom\ drives, so it is expected that this
-list may need to be expanded from time to time as new technologies are
-developed. For example, CD-R and CD-R/W drives are beginning to become
-popular, and support will soon need to be added for them. For now, the
-current $struct$ is:
-$$
-\halign{$#$\ \hfil&$#$\ \hfil&\hbox to 10em{$#$\hss}&
- $/*$ \rm# $*/$\hfil\cr
-struct& cdrom_device_ops\ \{ \hidewidth\cr
- &int& (* open)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, int)\cr
- &void& (* release)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *);\cr
- &int& (* drive_status)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, int);\cr
- &unsigned\ int& (* check_events)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, unsigned\ int, int);\cr
- &int& (* media_changed)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, int);\cr
- &int& (* tray_move)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, int);\cr
- &int& (* lock_door)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, int);\cr
- &int& (* select_speed)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, int);\cr
- &int& (* select_disc)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, int);\cr
- &int& (* get_last_session) (struct\ cdrom_device_info *,

- &int& (* get_mcn)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, struct\ cdrom_mcn *{});\cr
- &int& (* reset)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *);\cr
- &int& (* audio_ioctl)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, unsigned\ int,
- void *{});\cr
-\noalign{\medskip}
- &const\ int& capability;& capability flags \cr
- &int& (* generic_packet)(struct\ cdrom_device_info *, struct\ packet_command *{});\cr
-\};\cr
-}
-$$
-When a low-level device driver implements one of these capabilities,
-it should add a function pointer to this $struct$. When a particular
-function is not implemented, however, this $struct$ should contain a
-NULL instead. The $capability$ flags specify the capabilities of the
-\cdrom\ hardware and/or low-level \cdrom\ driver when a \cdrom\ drive
-is registered with the \UCD.
-
-Note that most functions have fewer parameters than their
-$blkdev_fops$ counterparts. This is because very little of the
-information in the structures $inode$ and $file$ is used. For most
-drivers, the main parameter is the $struct$ $cdrom_device_info$, from
-which the major and minor number can be extracted. (Most low-level
-\cdrom\ drivers don't even look at the major and minor number though,
-since many of them only support one device.) This will be available
-through $dev$ in $cdrom_device_info$ described below.
-
-The drive-specific, minor-like information that is registered with
-\cdromc, currently contains the following fields:
-$$
-\halign{$#$\ \hfil&$#$\ \hfil&\hbox to 10em{$#$\hss}&
- $/*$ \rm# $*/$\hfil\cr

-\}\cr
-}$$
-Using this $struct$, a linked list of the registered minor devices is
-built, using the $next$ field. The device number, the device operations
-struct and specifications of properties of the drive are stored in this
-structure.
-
-The $mask$ flags can be used to mask out some of the capabilities listed
-in $ops\to capability$, if a specific drive doesn't support a feature
-of the driver. The value $speed$ specifies the maximum head-rate of the
-drive, measured in units of normal audio speed (176\,kB/sec raw data or
-150\,kB/sec file system data). The parameters are declared $const$
-because they describe properties of the drive, which don't change after
-registration.
-
-A few registers contain variables local to the \cdrom\ drive. The
-flags $options$ are used to specify how the general \cdrom\ routines
-should behave. These various flags registers should provide enough
-flexibility to adapt to the different users' wishes (and {\em not\/} the
-`arbitrary' wishes of the author of the low-level device driver, as is
-the case in the old scheme). The register $mc_flags$ is used to buffer
-the information from $media_changed()$ to two separate queues. Other
-data that is specific to a minor drive, can be accessed through $handle$,
-which can point to a data structure specific to the low-level driver.
-The fields $use_count$, $next$, $options$ and $mc_flags$ need not be
-initialized.
-
-The intermediate software layer that \cdromc\ forms will perform some
-additional bookkeeping. The use count of the device (the number of
-processes that have the device opened) is registered in $use_count$. The
-function $cdrom_ioctl()$ will verify the appropriate user-memory regions
-for read and write, and in case a location on the CD is transferred,
-it will `sanitize' the format by making requests to the low-level
-drivers in a standard format, and translating all formats between the
-user-software and low level drivers. This relieves much of the drivers'
-memory checking and format checking and translation. Also, the necessary
-structures will be declared on the program stack.
-
-The implementation of the functions should be as defined in the
-following sections. Two functions {\em must\/} be implemented, namely
-$open()$ and $release()$. Other functions may be omitted, their
-corresponding capability flags will be cleared upon registration.
-Generally, a function returns zero on success and negative on error. A
-function call should return only after the command has completed, but of
-course waiting for the device should not use processor time.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ open(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, int\ purpose)$}
-
-$Open()$ should try to open the device for a specific $purpose$, which
-can be either:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item[0] Open for reading data, as done by {\tt {mount()}} (2), or the
-user commands {\tt {dd}} or {\tt {cat}}.
-\item[1] Open for $ioctl$ commands, as done by audio-CD playing
-programs.
-\end{itemize}
-Notice that any strategic code (closing tray upon $open()$, etc.)\ is
-done by the calling routine in \cdromc, so the low-level routine
-should only be concerned with proper initialization, such as spinning
-up the disc, etc. % and device-use count
-
-
-\subsection{$Void\ release(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi)$}
-
-
-Device-specific actions should be taken such as spinning down the device.
-However, strategic actions such as ejection of the tray, or unlocking
-the door, should be left over to the general routine $cdrom_release()$.
-This is the only function returning type $void$.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ drive_status(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, int\ slot_nr)$}
-\label{drive status}
-
-The function $drive_status$, if implemented, should provide
-information on the status of the drive (not the status of the disc,
-which may or may not be in the drive). If the drive is not a changer,
-$slot_nr$ should be ignored. In \cdromh\ the possibilities are listed:
-$$
-\halign{$#$\ \hfil&$/*$ \rm# $*/$\hfil\cr
-CDS_NO_INFO& no information available\cr
-CDS_NO_DISC& no disc is inserted, tray is closed\cr
-CDS_TRAY_OPEN& tray is opened\cr
-CDS_DRIVE_NOT_READY& something is wrong, tray is moving?\cr
-CDS_DISC_OK& a disc is loaded and everything is fine\cr
-}
-$$
-
-\subsection{$Int\ media_changed(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, int\ disc_nr)$}
-
-This function is very similar to the original function in $struct\
-file_operations$. It returns 1 if the medium of the device $cdi\to
-dev$ has changed since the last call, and 0 otherwise. The parameter
-$disc_nr$ identifies a specific slot in a juke-box, it should be
-ignored for single-disc drives. Note that by `re-routing' this
-function through $cdrom_media_changed()$, we can implement separate
-queues for the VFS and a new $ioctl()$ function that can report device
-changes to software (\eg, an auto-mounting daemon).
-
-\subsection{$Int\ tray_move(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, int\ position)$}
-
-This function, if implemented, should control the tray movement. (No
-other function should control this.) The parameter $position$ controls
-the desired direction of movement:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item[0] Close tray
-\item[1] Open tray
-\end{itemize}
-This function returns 0 upon success, and a non-zero value upon
-error. Note that if the tray is already in the desired position, no
-action need be taken, and the return value should be 0.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ lock_door(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, int\ lock)$}
-
-This function (and no other code) controls locking of the door, if the
-drive allows this. The value of $lock$ controls the desired locking
-state:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item[0] Unlock door, manual opening is allowed
-\item[1] Lock door, tray cannot be ejected manually
-\end{itemize}
-This function returns 0 upon success, and a non-zero value upon
-error. Note that if the door is already in the requested state, no
-action need be taken, and the return value should be 0.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ select_speed(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, int\ speed)$}
-
-Some \cdrom\ drives are capable of changing their head-speed. There
-are several reasons for changing the speed of a \cdrom\ drive. Badly
-pressed \cdrom s may benefit from less-than-maximum head rate. Modern
-\cdrom\ drives can obtain very high head rates (up to $24\times$ is
-common). It has been reported that these drives can make reading
-errors at these high speeds, reducing the speed can prevent data loss
-in these circumstances. Finally, some of these drives can
-make an annoyingly loud noise, which a lower speed may reduce. %Finally,
-%although the audio-low-pass filters probably aren't designed for it,
-%more than real-time playback of audio might be used for high-speed
-%copying of audio tracks.
-
-This function specifies the speed at which data is read or audio is
-played back. The value of $speed$ specifies the head-speed of the
-drive, measured in units of standard cdrom speed (176\,kB/sec raw data
-or 150\,kB/sec file system data). So to request that a \cdrom\ drive
-operate at 300\,kB/sec you would call the CDROM_SELECT_SPEED $ioctl$
-with $speed=2$. The special value `0' means `auto-selection', \ie,
-maximum data-rate or real-time audio rate. If the drive doesn't have
-this `auto-selection' capability, the decision should be made on the
-current disc loaded and the return value should be positive. A negative
-return value indicates an error.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ select_disc(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, int\ number)$}
-
-If the drive can store multiple discs (a juke-box) this function
-will perform disc selection. It should return the number of the
-selected disc on success, a negative value on error. Currently, only
-the ide-cd driver supports this functionality.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ get_last_session(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, struct\
- cdrom_multisession * ms_info)$}
-
-This function should implement the old corresponding $ioctl()$. For
-device $cdi\to dev$, the start of the last session of the current disc
-should be returned in the pointer argument $ms_info$. Note that
-routines in \cdromc\ have sanitized this argument: its requested
-format will {\em always\/} be of the type $CDROM_LBA$ (linear block
-addressing mode), whatever the calling software requested. But
-sanitization goes even further: the low-level implementation may
-return the requested information in $CDROM_MSF$ format if it wishes so
-(setting the $ms_info\rightarrow addr_format$ field appropriately, of
-course) and the routines in \cdromc\ will make the transformation if
-necessary. The return value is 0 upon success.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ get_mcn(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, struct\
- cdrom_mcn * mcn)$}
-
-Some discs carry a `Media Catalog Number' (MCN), also called
-`Universal Product Code' (UPC). This number should reflect the number
-that is generally found in the bar-code on the product. Unfortunately,
-the few discs that carry such a number on the disc don't even use the
-same format. The return argument to this function is a pointer to a
-pre-declared memory region of type $struct\ cdrom_mcn$. The MCN is
-expected as a 13-character string, terminated by a null-character.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ reset(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi)$}
-
-This call should perform a hard-reset on the drive (although in
-circumstances that a hard-reset is necessary, a drive may very well not
-listen to commands anymore). Preferably, control is returned to the
-caller only after the drive has finished resetting. If the drive is no
-longer listening, it may be wise for the underlying low-level cdrom
-driver to time out.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ audio_ioctl(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, unsigned\
- int\ cmd, void * arg)$}
-
-Some of the \cdrom-$ioctl$s defined in \cdromh\ can be
-implemented by the routines described above, and hence the function
-$cdrom_ioctl$ will use those. However, most $ioctl$s deal with
-audio-control. We have decided to leave these to be accessed through a
-single function, repeating the arguments $cmd$ and $arg$. Note that
-the latter is of type $void*{}$, rather than $unsigned\ long\
-int$. The routine $cdrom_ioctl()$ does do some useful things,
-though. It sanitizes the address format type to $CDROM_MSF$ (Minutes,
-Seconds, Frames) for all audio calls. It also verifies the memory
-location of $arg$, and reserves stack-memory for the argument. This
-makes implementation of the $audio_ioctl()$ much simpler than in the
-old driver scheme. For example, you may look up the function
-$cm206_audio_ioctl()$ in {\tt {cm206.c}} that should be updated with
-this documentation.
-
-An unimplemented ioctl should return $-ENOSYS$, but a harmless request
-(\eg, $CDROMSTART$) may be ignored by returning 0 (success). Other
-errors should be according to the standards, whatever they are. When
-an error is returned by the low-level driver, the \UCD\ tries whenever
-possible to return the error code to the calling program. (We may decide
-to sanitize the return value in $cdrom_ioctl()$ though, in order to
-guarantee a uniform interface to the audio-player software.)
-
-\subsection{$Int\ dev_ioctl(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi, unsigned\ int\
- cmd, unsigned\ long\ arg)$}
-
-Some $ioctl$s seem to be specific to certain \cdrom\ drives. That is,
-they are introduced to service some capabilities of certain drives. In
-fact, there are 6 different $ioctl$s for reading data, either in some
-particular kind of format, or audio data. Not many drives support
-reading audio tracks as data, I believe this is because of protection
-of copyrights of artists. Moreover, I think that if audio-tracks are
-supported, it should be done through the VFS and not via $ioctl$s. A
-problem here could be the fact that audio-frames are 2352 bytes long,
-so either the audio-file-system should ask for 75264 bytes at once
-(the least common multiple of 512 and 2352), or the drivers should
-bend their backs to cope with this incoherence (to which I would be
-opposed). Furthermore, it is very difficult for the hardware to find
-the exact frame boundaries, since there are no synchronization headers
-in audio frames. Once these issues are resolved, this code should be
-standardized in \cdromc.
-
-Because there are so many $ioctl$s that seem to be introduced to
-satisfy certain drivers,\footnote{Is there software around that
- actually uses these? I'd be interested!} any `non-standard' $ioctl$s
-are routed through the call $dev_ioctl()$. In principle, `private'
-$ioctl$s should be numbered after the device's major number, and not
-the general \cdrom\ $ioctl$ number, {\tt {0x53}}. Currently the
-non-supported $ioctl$s are: {\it CDROMREADMODE1, CDROMREADMODE2,
- CDROMREADAUDIO, CDROMREADRAW, CDROMREADCOOKED, CDROMSEEK,
- CDROMPLAY\-BLK and CDROM\-READALL}.
-
-
-\subsection{\cdrom\ capabilities}
-\label{capability}
-
-Instead of just implementing some $ioctl$ calls, the interface in
-\cdromc\ supplies the possibility to indicate the {\em capabilities\/}
-of a \cdrom\ drive. This can be done by ORing any number of
-capability-constants that are defined in \cdromh\ at the registration
-phase. Currently, the capabilities are any of:
-$$
-\halign{$#$\ \hfil&$/*$ \rm# $*/$\hfil\cr
-CDC_CLOSE_TRAY& can close tray by software control\cr
-CDC_OPEN_TRAY& can open tray\cr
-CDC_LOCK& can lock and unlock the door\cr
-CDC_SELECT_SPEED& can select speed, in units of $\sim$150\,kB/s\cr

-The capability flag is declared $const$, to prevent drivers from
-accidentally tampering with the contents. The capability fags actually
-inform \cdromc\ of what the driver can do. If the drive found
-by the driver does not have the capability, is can be masked out by
-the $cdrom_device_info$ variable $mask$. For instance, the SCSI \cdrom\
-driver has implemented the code for loading and ejecting \cdrom's, and
-hence its corresponding flags in $capability$ will be set. But a SCSI
-\cdrom\ drive might be a caddy system, which can't load the tray, and
-hence for this drive the $cdrom_device_info$ struct will have set
-the $CDC_CLOSE_TRAY$ bit in $mask$.
-
-In the file \cdromc\ you will encounter many constructions of the type
-$$\it
-if\ (cdo\rightarrow capability \mathrel\& \mathord{\sim} cdi\rightarrow mask
- \mathrel{\&} CDC_<capability>) \ldots
-$$
-There is no $ioctl$ to set the mask\dots The reason is that
-I think it is better to control the {\em behavior\/} rather than the
-{\em capabilities}.
-
-\subsection{Options}
-
-A final flag register controls the {\em behavior\/} of the \cdrom\
-drives, in order to satisfy different users' wishes, hopefully
-independently of the ideas of the respective author who happened to
-have made the drive's support available to the \linux\ community. The
-current behavior options are:
-$$
-\halign{$#$\ \hfil&$/*$ \rm# $*/$\hfil\cr
-CDO_AUTO_CLOSE& try to close tray upon device $open()$\cr
-CDO_AUTO_EJECT& try to open tray on last device $close()$\cr
-CDO_USE_FFLAGS& use $file_pointer\rightarrow f_flags$ to indicate
- purpose for $open()$\cr
-CDO_LOCK& try to lock door if device is opened\cr
-CDO_CHECK_TYPE& ensure disc type is data if opened for data\cr
-}
-$$
-
-The initial value of this register is $CDO_AUTO_CLOSE \mathrel|
-CDO_USE_FFLAGS \mathrel| CDO_LOCK$, reflecting my own view on user
-interface and software standards. Before you protest, there are two
-new $ioctl$s implemented in \cdromc, that allow you to control the
-behavior by software. These are:
-$$
-\halign{$#$\ \hfil&$/*$ \rm# $*/$\hfil\cr
-CDROM_SET_OPTIONS& set options specified in $(int)\ arg$\cr
-CDROM_CLEAR_OPTIONS& clear options specified in $(int)\ arg$\cr
-}
-$$
-One option needs some more explanation: $CDO_USE_FFLAGS$. In the next
-newsection we explain what the need for this option is.
-
-A software package {\tt setcd}, available from the Debian distribution
-and {\tt sunsite.unc.edu}, allows user level control of these flags.
-
-\newsection{The need to know the purpose of opening the \cdrom\ device}
-
-Traditionally, Unix devices can be used in two different `modes',
-either by reading/writing to the device file, or by issuing
-controlling commands to the device, by the device's $ioctl()$
-call. The problem with \cdrom\ drives, is that they can be used for
-two entirely different purposes. One is to mount removable
-file systems, \cdrom s, the other is to play audio CD's. Audio commands
-are implemented entirely through $ioctl$s, presumably because the
-first implementation (SUN?) has been such. In principle there is
-nothing wrong with this, but a good control of the `CD player' demands
-that the device can {\em always\/} be opened in order to give the
-$ioctl$ commands, regardless of the state the drive is in.
-
-On the other hand, when used as a removable-media disc drive (what the
-original purpose of \cdrom s is) we would like to make sure that the
-disc drive is ready for operation upon opening the device. In the old
-scheme, some \cdrom\ drivers don't do any integrity checking, resulting
-in a number of i/o errors reported by the VFS to the kernel when an
-attempt for mounting a \cdrom\ on an empty drive occurs. This is not a
-particularly elegant way to find out that there is no \cdrom\ inserted;
-it more-or-less looks like the old IBM-PC trying to read an empty floppy
-drive for a couple of seconds, after which the system complains it
-can't read from it. Nowadays we can {\em sense\/} the existence of a
-removable medium in a drive, and we believe we should exploit that
-fact. An integrity check on opening of the device, that verifies the
-availability of a \cdrom\ and its correct type (data), would be
-desirable.
-
-These two ways of using a \cdrom\ drive, principally for data and
-secondarily for playing audio discs, have different demands for the
-behavior of the $open()$ call. Audio use simply wants to open the
-device in order to get a file handle which is needed for issuing
-$ioctl$ commands, while data use wants to open for correct and
-reliable data transfer. The only way user programs can indicate what
-their {\em purpose\/} of opening the device is, is through the $flags$
-parameter (see {\tt {open(2)}}). For \cdrom\ devices, these flags aren't
-implemented (some drivers implement checking for write-related flags,
-but this is not strictly necessary if the device file has correct
-permission flags). Most option flags simply don't make sense to
-\cdrom\ devices: $O_CREAT$, $O_NOCTTY$, $O_TRUNC$, $O_APPEND$, and
-$O_SYNC$ have no meaning to a \cdrom.
-
-We therefore propose to use the flag $O_NONBLOCK$ to indicate
-that the device is opened just for issuing $ioctl$
-commands. Strictly, the meaning of $O_NONBLOCK$ is that opening and
-subsequent calls to the device don't cause the calling process to
-wait. We could interpret this as ``don't wait until someone has
-inserted some valid data-\cdrom.'' Thus, our proposal of the
-implementation for the $open()$ call for \cdrom s is:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item If no other flags are set than $O_RDONLY$, the device is opened
-for data transfer, and the return value will be 0 only upon successful
-initialization of the transfer. The call may even induce some actions
-on the \cdrom, such as closing the tray.
-\item If the option flag $O_NONBLOCK$ is set, opening will always be
-successful, unless the whole device doesn't exist. The drive will take
-no actions whatsoever.
-\end{itemize}
-
-\subsection{And what about standards?}
-
-You might hesitate to accept this proposal as it comes from the
-\linux\ community, and not from some standardizing institute. What
-about SUN, SGI, HP and all those other Unix and hardware vendors?
-Well, these companies are in the lucky position that they generally
-control both the hardware and software of their supported products,
-and are large enough to set their own standard. They do not have to
-deal with a dozen or more different, competing hardware
-configurations.\footnote{Incidentally, I think that SUN's approach to
-mounting \cdrom s is very good in origin: under Solaris a
-volume-daemon automatically mounts a newly inserted \cdrom\ under {\tt
-{/cdrom/$<volume-name>$/}}. In my opinion they should have pushed this
-further and have {\em every\/} \cdrom\ on the local area network be
-mounted at the similar location, \ie, no matter in which particular
-machine you insert a \cdrom, it will always appear at the same
-position in the directory tree, on every system. When I wanted to
-implement such a user-program for \linux, I came across the
-differences in behavior of the various drivers, and the need for an
-$ioctl$ informing about media changes.}
-
-We believe that using $O_NONBLOCK$ to indicate that a device is being opened
-for $ioctl$ commands only can be easily introduced in the \linux\
-community. All the CD-player authors will have to be informed, we can
-even send in our own patches to the programs. The use of $O_NONBLOCK$
-has most likely no influence on the behavior of the CD-players on
-other operating systems than \linux. Finally, a user can always revert
-to old behavior by a call to $ioctl(file_descriptor, CDROM_CLEAR_OPTIONS,
-CDO_USE_FFLAGS)$.
-
-\subsection{The preferred strategy of $open()$}
-
-The routines in \cdromc\ are designed in such a way that run-time
-configuration of the behavior of \cdrom\ devices (of {\em any\/} type)
-can be carried out, by the $CDROM_SET/CLEAR_OPTIONS$ $ioctls$. Thus, various
-modes of operation can be set:
-\begin{description}
-\item[$CDO_AUTO_CLOSE \mathrel| CDO_USE_FFLAGS \mathrel| CDO_LOCK$] This
-is the default setting. (With $CDO_CHECK_TYPE$ it will be better, in the
-future.) If the device is not yet opened by any other process, and if
-the device is being opened for data ($O_NONBLOCK$ is not set) and the
-tray is found to be open, an attempt to close the tray is made. Then,
-it is verified that a disc is in the drive and, if $CDO_CHECK_TYPE$ is
-set, that it contains tracks of type `data mode 1.' Only if all tests
-are passed is the return value zero. The door is locked to prevent file
-system corruption. If the drive is opened for audio ($O_NONBLOCK$ is
-set), no actions are taken and a value of 0 will be returned.
-\item[$CDO_AUTO_CLOSE \mathrel| CDO_AUTO_EJECT \mathrel| CDO_LOCK$] This
-mimics the behavior of the current sbpcd-driver. The option flags are
-ignored, the tray is closed on the first open, if necessary. Similarly,
-the tray is opened on the last release, \ie, if a \cdrom\ is unmounted,
-it is automatically ejected, such that the user can replace it.
-\end{description}
-We hope that these option can convince everybody (both driver
-maintainers and user program developers) to adopt the new \cdrom\
-driver scheme and option flag interpretation.
-
-\newsection{Description of routines in \cdromc}
-
-Only a few routines in \cdromc\ are exported to the drivers. In this
-new section we will discuss these, as well as the functions that `take
-over' the \cdrom\ interface to the kernel. The header file belonging
-to \cdromc\ is called \cdromh. Formerly, some of the contents of this
-file were placed in the file {\tt {ucdrom.h}}, but this file has now been
-merged back into \cdromh.
-
-\subsection{$Struct\ file_operations\ cdrom_fops$}
-
-The contents of this structure were described in section~\ref{cdrom.c}.
-A pointer to this structure is assigned to the $fops$ field
-of the $struct gendisk$.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ register_cdrom( struct\ cdrom_device_info\ * cdi)$}
-
-This function is used in about the same way one registers $cdrom_fops$
-with the kernel, the device operations and information structures,
-as described in section~\ref{cdrom.c}, should be registered with the
-\UCD:
-$$
-register_cdrom(\&<device>_info));
-$$
-This function returns zero upon success, and non-zero upon
-failure. The structure $<device>_info$ should have a pointer to the
-driver's $<device>_dops$, as in
-$$
-\vbox{\halign{&$#$\hfil\cr
-struct\ &cdrom_device_info\ <device>_info = \{\cr
-& <device>_dops;\cr
-&\ldots\cr
-\}\cr
-}}$$
-Note that a driver must have one static structure, $<device>_dops$, while
-it may have as many structures $<device>_info$ as there are minor devices
-active. $Register_cdrom()$ builds a linked list from these.
-
-\subsection{$Void\ unregister_cdrom(struct\ cdrom_device_info * cdi)$}
-
-Unregistering device $cdi$ with minor number $MINOR(cdi\to dev)$ removes
-the minor device from the list. If it was the last registered minor for
-the low-level driver, this disconnects the registered device-operation
-routines from the \cdrom\ interface. This function returns zero upon
-success, and non-zero upon failure.
-
-\subsection{$Int\ cdrom_open(struct\ inode * ip, struct\ file * fp)$}
-
-This function is not called directly by the low-level drivers, it is
-listed in the standard $cdrom_fops$. If the VFS opens a file, this
-function becomes active. A strategy is implemented in this routine,
-taking care of all capabilities and options that are set in the
-$cdrom_device_ops$ connected to the device. Then, the program flow is
-transferred to the device_dependent $open()$ call.
-
-\subsection{$Void\ cdrom_release(struct\ inode *ip, struct\ file
-*fp)$}
-
-This function implements the reverse-logic of $cdrom_open()$, and then
-calls the device-dependent $release()$ routine. When the use-count has
-reached 0, the allocated buffers are flushed by calls to $sync_dev(dev)$
-and $invalidate_buffers(dev)$.
-
-
-\subsection{$Int\ cdrom_ioctl(struct\ inode *ip, struct\ file *fp,
-unsigned\ int\ cmd, unsigned\ long\ arg)$}
-\label{cdrom-ioctl}
-
-This function handles all the standard $ioctl$ requests for \cdrom\
-devices in a uniform way. The different calls fall into three
-categories: $ioctl$s that can be directly implemented by device
-operations, ones that are routed through the call $audio_ioctl()$, and
-the remaining ones, that are presumable device-dependent. Generally, a
-negative return value indicates an error.
-
-\subsubsection{Directly implemented $ioctl$s}
-\label{ioctl-direct}
-
-The following `old' \cdrom-$ioctl$s are implemented by directly
-calling device-operations in $cdrom_device_ops$, if implemented and
-not masked:
-\begin{description}
-\item[CDROMMULTISESSION] Requests the last session on a \cdrom.
-\item[CDROMEJECT] Open tray.
-\item[CDROMCLOSETRAY] Close tray.
-\item[CDROMEJECT_SW] If $arg\not=0$, set behavior to auto-close (close
-tray on first open) and auto-eject (eject on last release), otherwise
-set behavior to non-moving on $open()$ and $release()$ calls.
-\item[CDROM_GET_MCN] Get the Media Catalog Number from a CD.
-\end{description}
-
-\subsubsection{$Ioctl$s routed through $audio_ioctl()$}
-\label{ioctl-audio}
-
-The following set of $ioctl$s are all implemented through a call to
-the $cdrom_fops$ function $audio_ioctl()$. Memory checks and
-allocation are performed in $cdrom_ioctl()$, and also sanitization of
-address format ($CDROM_LBA$/$CDROM_MSF$) is done.
-\begin{description}
-\item[CDROMSUBCHNL] Get sub-channel data in argument $arg$ of type $struct\
-cdrom_subchnl *{}$.
-\item[CDROMREADTOCHDR] Read Table of Contents header, in $arg$ of type
-$struct\ cdrom_tochdr *{}$.
-\item[CDROMREADTOCENTRY] Read a Table of Contents entry in $arg$ and
-specified by $arg$ of type $struct\ cdrom_tocentry *{}$.
-\item[CDROMPLAYMSF] Play audio fragment specified in Minute, Second,
-Frame format, delimited by $arg$ of type $struct\ cdrom_msf *{}$.
-\item[CDROMPLAYTRKIND] Play audio fragment in track-index format
-delimited by $arg$ of type $struct\ \penalty-1000 cdrom_ti *{}$.
-\item[CDROMVOLCTRL] Set volume specified by $arg$ of type $struct\
-cdrom_volctrl *{}$.
-\item[CDROMVOLREAD] Read volume into by $arg$ of type $struct\
-cdrom_volctrl *{}$.
-\item[CDROMSTART] Spin up disc.
-\item[CDROMSTOP] Stop playback of audio fragment.
-\item[CDROMPAUSE] Pause playback of audio fragment.
-\item[CDROMRESUME] Resume playing.
-\end{description}
-
-\subsubsection{New $ioctl$s in \cdromc}
-
-The following $ioctl$s have been introduced to allow user programs to
-control the behavior of individual \cdrom\ devices. New $ioctl$
-commands can be identified by the underscores in their names.
-\begin{description}
-\item[CDROM_SET_OPTIONS] Set options specified by $arg$. Returns the
-option flag register after modification. Use $arg = \rm0$ for reading
-the current flags.
-\item[CDROM_CLEAR_OPTIONS] Clear options specified by $arg$. Returns
- the option flag register after modification.
-\item[CDROM_SELECT_SPEED] Select head-rate speed of disc specified as
- by $arg$ in units of standard cdrom speed (176\,kB/sec raw data or
- 150\,kB/sec file system data). The value 0 means `auto-select', \ie,
- play audio discs at real time and data discs at maximum speed. The value
- $arg$ is checked against the maximum head rate of the drive found in the
- $cdrom_dops$.
-\item[CDROM_SELECT_DISC] Select disc numbered $arg$ from a juke-box.
- First disc is numbered 0. The number $arg$ is checked against the
- maximum number of discs in the juke-box found in the $cdrom_dops$.
-\item[CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED] Returns 1 if a disc has been changed since
- the last call. Note that calls to $cdrom_media_changed$ by the VFS
- are treated by an independent queue, so both mechanisms will detect
- a media change once. For juke-boxes, an extra argument $arg$
- specifies the slot for which the information is given. The special
- value $CDSL_CURRENT$ requests that information about the currently
- selected slot be returned.
-\item[CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS] Returns the status of the drive by a call to
- $drive_status()$. Return values are defined in section~\ref{drive
- status}. Note that this call doesn't return information on the
- current playing activity of the drive; this can be polled through an
- $ioctl$ call to $CDROMSUBCHNL$. For juke-boxes, an extra argument
- $arg$ specifies the slot for which (possibly limited) information is
- given. The special value $CDSL_CURRENT$ requests that information
- about the currently selected slot be returned.
-\item[CDROM_DISC_STATUS] Returns the type of the disc currently in the
- drive. It should be viewed as a complement to $CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS$.
- This $ioctl$ can provide \emph {some} information about the current
- disc that is inserted in the drive. This functionality used to be
- implemented in the low level drivers, but is now carried out
- entirely in \UCD.
-
- The history of development of the CD's use as a carrier medium for
- various digital information has lead to many different disc types.
- This $ioctl$ is useful only in the case that CDs have \emph {only
- one} type of data on them. While this is often the case, it is
- also very common for CDs to have some tracks with data, and some
- tracks with audio. Because this is an existing interface, rather
- than fixing this interface by changing the assumptions it was made
- under, thereby breaking all user applications that use this
- function, the \UCD\ implements this $ioctl$ as follows: If the CD in
- question has audio tracks on it, and it has absolutely no CD-I, XA,
- or data tracks on it, it will be reported as $CDS_AUDIO$. If it has
- both audio and data tracks, it will return $CDS_MIXED$. If there
- are no audio tracks on the disc, and if the CD in question has any
- CD-I tracks on it, it will be reported as $CDS_XA_2_2$. Failing
- that, if the CD in question has any XA tracks on it, it will be
- reported as $CDS_XA_2_1$. Finally, if the CD in question has any
- data tracks on it, it will be reported as a data CD ($CDS_DATA_1$).
-
- This $ioctl$ can return:
- $$
- \halign{$#$\ \hfil&$/*$ \rm# $*/$\hfil\cr
- CDS_NO_INFO& no information available\cr
- CDS_NO_DISC& no disc is inserted, or tray is opened\cr
- CDS_AUDIO& Audio disc (2352 audio bytes/frame)\cr
- CDS_DATA_1& data disc, mode 1 (2048 user bytes/frame)\cr
- CDS_XA_2_1& mixed data (XA), mode 2, form 1 (2048 user bytes)\cr
- CDS_XA_2_2& mixed data (XA), mode 2, form 1 (2324 user bytes)\cr
- CDS_MIXED& mixed audio/data disc\cr
- }
- $$
- For some information concerning frame layout of the various disc
- types, see a recent version of \cdromh.
-
-\item[CDROM_CHANGER_NSLOTS] Returns the number of slots in a
- juke-box.
-\item[CDROMRESET] Reset the drive.
-\item[CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY] Returns the $capability$ flags for the
- drive. Refer to section \ref{capability} for more information on
- these flags.
-\item[CDROM_LOCKDOOR] Locks the door of the drive. $arg == \rm0$
- unlocks the door, any other value locks it.
-\item[CDROM_DEBUG] Turns on debugging info. Only root is allowed
- to do this. Same semantics as CDROM_LOCKDOOR.
-\end{description}
-
-\subsubsection{Device dependent $ioctl$s}
-
-Finally, all other $ioctl$s are passed to the function $dev_ioctl()$,
-if implemented. No memory allocation or verification is carried out.
-
-\newsection{How to update your driver}
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item Make a backup of your current driver.
-\item Get hold of the files \cdromc\ and \cdromh, they should be in
- the directory tree that came with this documentation.
-\item Make sure you include \cdromh.
-\item Change the 3rd argument of $register_blkdev$ from
-$\&<your-drive>_fops$ to $\&cdrom_fops$.
-\item Just after that line, add the following to register with the \UCD:
- $$register_cdrom(\&<your-drive>_info);$$
- Similarly, add a call to $unregister_cdrom()$ at the appropriate place.
-\item Copy an example of the device-operations $struct$ to your
- source, \eg, from {\tt {cm206.c}} $cm206_dops$, and change all
- entries to names corresponding to your driver, or names you just
- happen to like. If your driver doesn't support a certain function,
- make the entry $NULL$. At the entry $capability$ you should list all
- capabilities your driver currently supports. If your driver
- has a capability that is not listed, please send me a message.
-\item Copy the $cdrom_device_info$ declaration from the same example
- driver, and modify the entries according to your needs. If your
- driver dynamically determines the capabilities of the hardware, this
- structure should also be declared dynamically.
-\item Implement all functions in your $<device>_dops$ structure,
- according to prototypes listed in \cdromh, and specifications given
- in section~\ref{cdrom.c}. Most likely you have already implemented
- the code in a large part, and you will almost certainly need to adapt the
- prototype and return values.
-\item Rename your $<device>_ioctl()$ function to $audio_ioctl$ and
- change the prototype a little. Remove entries listed in the first
- part in section~\ref{cdrom-ioctl}, if your code was OK, these are
- just calls to the routines you adapted in the previous step.
-\item You may remove all remaining memory checking code in the
- $audio_ioctl()$ function that deals with audio commands (these are
- listed in the second part of section~\ref{cdrom-ioctl}). There is no
- need for memory allocation either, so most $case$s in the $switch$
- statement look similar to:
- $$
- case\ CDROMREADTOCENTRY\colon get_toc_entry\bigl((struct\
- cdrom_tocentry *{})\ arg\bigr);
- $$
-\item All remaining $ioctl$ cases must be moved to a separate
- function, $<device>_ioctl$, the device-dependent $ioctl$s. Note that
- memory checking and allocation must be kept in this code!
-\item Change the prototypes of $<device>_open()$ and
- $<device>_release()$, and remove any strategic code (\ie, tray
- movement, door locking, etc.).
-\item Try to recompile the drivers. We advise you to use modules, both
- for {\tt {cdrom.o}} and your driver, as debugging is much easier this
- way.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-\newsection{Thanks}
-
-Thanks to all the people involved. First, Erik Andersen, who has
-taken over the torch in maintaining \cdromc\ and integrating much
-\cdrom-related code in the 2.1-kernel. Thanks to Scott Snyder and
-Gerd Knorr, who were the first to implement this interface for SCSI
-and IDE-CD drivers and added many ideas for extension of the data
-structures relative to kernel~2.0. Further thanks to Heiko Ei{\ss}feldt,
-Thomas Quinot, Jon Tombs, Ken Pizzini, Eberhard M\"onkeberg and Andrew
-Kroll, the \linux\ \cdrom\ device driver developers who were kind
-enough to give suggestions and criticisms during the writing. Finally
-of course, I want to thank Linus Torvalds for making this possible in
-the first place.

-
- mount -t tmpfs cgroup_root /sys/fs/cgroup
- mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio
- mount -t cgroup -o blkio none /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio
-
-- Create two cgroups
- mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test1/ /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test2

-- Set weights of group test1 and test2
- echo 1000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test1/blkio.weight
- echo 500 > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test2/blkio.weight
-
-- Create two same size files (say 512MB each) on same disk (file1, file2) and
- launch two dd threads in different cgroup to read those files.
-
- sync
- echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
-
- dd if=/mnt/sdb/zerofile1 of=/dev/null &
- echo $! > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test1/tasks
- cat /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test1/tasks
-
- dd if=/mnt/sdb/zerofile2 of=/dev/null &
- echo $! > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test2/tasks
- cat /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test2/tasks
-
-- At macro level, first dd should finish first. To get more precise data, keep
- on looking at (with the help of script), at blkio.disk_time and
- blkio.disk_sectors files of both test1 and test2 groups. This will tell how
- much disk time (in milliseconds), each group got and how many sectors each
- group dispatched to the disk. We provide fairness in terms of disk time, so
- ideally io.disk_time of cgroups should be in proportion to the weight.

-=================
-/sys/block/<disk>/queue/iosched/slice_idle
-------------------------------------------
-On a faster hardware CFQ can be slow, especially with sequential workload.
-This happens because CFQ idles on a single queue and single queue might not
-drive deeper request queue depths to keep the storage busy. In such scenarios
-one can try setting slice_idle=0 and that would switch CFQ to IOPS
-(IO operations per second) mode on NCQ supporting hardware.
-
-That means CFQ will not idle between cfq queues of a cfq group and hence be
-able to driver higher queue depth and achieve better throughput. That also
-means that cfq provides fairness among groups in terms of IOPS and not in
-terms of disk time.
-
-/sys/block/<disk>/queue/iosched/group_idle
-------------------------------------------
-If one disables idling on individual cfq queues and cfq service trees by
-setting slice_idle=0, group_idle kicks in. That means CFQ will still idle
-on the group in an attempt to provide fairness among groups.
-
-By default group_idle is same as slice_idle and does not do anything if
-slice_idle is enabled.
-
-One can experience an overall throughput drop if you have created multiple
-groups and put applications in that group which are not driving enough
-IO to keep disk busy. In that case set group_idle=0, and CFQ will not idle
-on individual groups and throughput should improve.

- 9.6 Mount with other subsystems.
+9.6 Mount with other subsystems
+-------------------------------
+
Mounting with other subsystems is a good test because there is a
race and lock dependency with other cgroup subsystems.
- example)
- # mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -o cpuset,memory,cpu,devices
+ example::
+
+ # mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -o cpuset,memory,cpu,devices
and do task move, mkdir, rmdir etc...under this.
- 9.7 swapoff.
+9.7 swapoff
+-----------
+
Besides management of swap is one of complicated parts of memcg,
call path of swap-in at swapoff is not same as usual swap-in path..
It's worth to be tested explicitly.
- For example, test like following is good.
- (Shell-A)
- # mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -o memory
- # mkdir /cgroup/test
- # echo 40M > /cgroup/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
- # echo 0 > /cgroup/test/tasks
+ For example, test like following is good:
+
+ (Shell-A)::
+
+ # mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -o memory
+ # mkdir /cgroup/test
+ # echo 40M > /cgroup/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
+ # echo 0 > /cgroup/test/tasks
+
Run malloc(100M) program under this. You'll see 60M of swaps.
- (Shell-B)
- # move all tasks in /cgroup/test to /cgroup
- # /sbin/swapoff -a
- # rmdir /cgroup/test
- # kill malloc task.
+
+ (Shell-B)::
+
+ # move all tasks in /cgroup/test to /cgroup
+ # /sbin/swapoff -a
+ # rmdir /cgroup/test
+ # kill malloc task.
Of course, tmpfs v.s. swapoff test should be tested, too.
- 9.8 OOM-Killer
+9.8 OOM-Killer
+--------------
+
Out-of-memory caused by memcg's limit will kill tasks under
the memcg. When hierarchy is used, a task under hierarchy
will be killed by the kernel.
+
In this case, panic_on_oom shouldn't be invoked and tasks
in other groups shouldn't be killed.
It's not difficult to cause OOM under memcg as following.
- Case A) when you can swapoff
- #swapoff -a
- #echo 50M > /memory.limit_in_bytes
+
+ Case A) when you can swapoff::

- #echo 50M > memory.limit_in_bytes
- #echo 50M > memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes
+ Case B) when you use mem+swap limitation::

+ #echo 50M > memory.limit_in_bytes

+The crypto engine (CE) API is a crypto queue manager.
Requirement
-----------
-You have to put at start of your tfm_ctx the struct crypto_engine_ctx::
+You must put, at the start of your transform context your_tfm_ctx, the structure
+crypto_engine:
+
+::
- struct your_tfm_ctx {
- struct crypto_engine_ctx enginectx;
- ...
- };
+ struct your_tfm_ctx {
+ struct crypto_engine engine;
+ ...
+ };
-Why: Since CE manage only crypto_async_request, it cannot know the underlying
-request_type and so have access only on the TFM.
-So using container_of for accessing __ctx is impossible.
-Furthermore, the crypto engine cannot know the "struct your_tfm_ctx",
-so it must assume that crypto_engine_ctx is at start of it.
+The crypto engine only manages asynchronous requests in the form of
+crypto_async_request. It cannot know the underlying request type and thus only
+has access to the transform structure. It is not possible to access the context
+using container_of. In addition, the engine knows nothing about your
+structure "``struct your_tfm_ctx``". The engine assumes (requires) the placement
+of the known member ``struct crypto_engine`` at the beginning.
Order of operations
-------------------
-You have to obtain a struct crypto_engine via crypto_engine_alloc_init().
-And start it via crypto_engine_start().
-
-Before transferring any request, you have to fill the enginectx.
-- prepare_request: (taking a function pointer) If you need to do some processing before doing the request
-- unprepare_request: (taking a function pointer) Undoing what's done in prepare_request
-- do_one_request: (taking a function pointer) Do encryption for current request
-
-Note: that those three functions get the crypto_async_request associated with the received request.
-So your need to get the original request via container_of(areq, struct yourrequesttype_request, base);
-
-When your driver receive a crypto_request, you have to transfer it to
-the cryptoengine via one of:
-- crypto_transfer_ablkcipher_request_to_engine()
-- crypto_transfer_aead_request_to_engine()
-- crypto_transfer_akcipher_request_to_engine()
-- crypto_transfer_hash_request_to_engine()
-- crypto_transfer_skcipher_request_to_engine()
-
-At the end of the request process, a call to one of the following function is needed:
-- crypto_finalize_ablkcipher_request
-- crypto_finalize_aead_request
-- crypto_finalize_akcipher_request
-- crypto_finalize_hash_request
-- crypto_finalize_skcipher_request
+You are required to obtain a struct crypto_engine via ``crypto_engine_alloc_init()``.
+Start it via ``crypto_engine_start()``. When finished with your work, shut down the
+engine using ``crypto_engine_stop()`` and destroy the engine with
+``crypto_engine_exit()``.
+
+Before transferring any request, you have to fill the context enginectx by
+providing functions for the following:
+
+* ``prepare_crypt_hardware``: Called once before any prepare functions are
+ called.
+
+* ``unprepare_crypt_hardware``: Called once after all unprepare functions have
+ been called.
+
+* ``prepare_cipher_request``/``prepare_hash_request``: Called before each
+ corresponding request is performed. If some processing or other preparatory
+ work is required, do it here.
+
+* ``unprepare_cipher_request``/``unprepare_hash_request``: Called after each
+ request is handled. Clean up / undo what was done in the prepare function.
+
+* ``cipher_one_request``/``hash_one_request``: Handle the current request by
+ performing the operation.
+
+Note that these functions access the crypto_async_request structure
+associated with the received request. You are able to retrieve the original
+request by using:

+Device-Mapper's "striped" target is used to create a striped (i.e. RAID-0)
+device across one or more underlying devices. Data is written in "chunks",
+with consecutive chunks rotating among the underlying devices. This can
+potentially provide improved I/O throughput by utilizing several physical
+devices in parallel.
+
+Parameters: <num devs> <chunk size> [<dev path> <offset>]+
+ <num devs>:
+ Number of underlying devices.
+ <chunk size>:
+ Size of each chunk of data. Must be at least as
+ large as the system's PAGE_SIZE.
+ <dev path>:
+ Full pathname to the underlying block-device, or a
+ "major:minor" device-number.
+ <offset>:
+ Starting sector within the device.

-dm-stripe
-=========
-
-Device-Mapper's "striped" target is used to create a striped (i.e. RAID-0)
-device across one or more underlying devices. Data is written in "chunks",
-with consecutive chunks rotating among the underlying devices. This can
-potentially provide improved I/O throughput by utilizing several physical
-devices in parallel.
-
-Parameters: <num devs> <chunk size> [<dev path> <offset>]+
- <num devs>: Number of underlying devices.
- <chunk size>: Size of each chunk of data. Must be at least as
- large as the system's PAGE_SIZE.
- <dev path>: Full pathname to the underlying block-device, or a
- "major:minor" device-number.
- <offset>: Starting sector within the device.
-
-One or more underlying devices can be specified. The striped device size must
-be a multiple of the chunk size multiplied by the number of underlying devices.

to this device, it will start returning I/O errors.

-
-Device tree nodes that require usage of PSCI CPU_SUSPEND function (ie idle

- Usage: Required for state nodes[1] if the corresponding
- idle-states node entry-method property is set
- to "psci".
- Value type: <u32>
- Definition: power_state parameter to pass to the PSCI

+FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR FSA9480 MICROUSB SWITCH
+
+The FSA9480 is a USB port accessory detector and switch. The FSA9480 is fully
+controlled using I2C and enables USB data, stereo and mono audio, video,
+microphone, and UART data to use a common connector port.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible : Must be "fcs,fsa9480"
+ - reg : Specifies i2c slave address. Must be 0x25.
+ - interrupts : Should contain one entry specifying interrupt signal of
+ interrupt parent to which interrupt pin of the chip is connected.
+
+ Example:
+ musb@25 {
+ compatible = "fcs,fsa9480";
+ reg = <0x25>;
+ interrupt-parent = <&gph2>;
+ interrupts = <7 0>;

+* Single Byte SPI LED Device Driver.
+
+The driver can be used for controllers with a very simple SPI protocol:
+- one LED is controlled by a single byte on MOSI
+- the value of the byte gives the brightness between two values (lowest to

+- no return value is necessary (no MISO signal)

+Amlogic Video Decoder
+================================
+
+The video decoding IP lies within the DOS memory region,
+except for the hardware bitstream parser that makes use of an undocumented
+region.
+
+It makes use of the following blocks:
+
+- ESPARSER is a bitstream parser that outputs to a VIFIFO. Further VDEC blocks
+then feed from this VIFIFO.
+- VDEC_1 can decode MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 part 2, MJPEG, H.263, H.264, VC-1.
+- VDEC_HEVC can decode HEVC and VP9.
+
+Both VDEC_1 and VDEC_HEVC share the "vdec" IRQ and as such cannot run
+concurrently.

+which provides high-throughput LDPC and Turbo Code implementations.
+The LDPC decode & encode functionality is capable of covering a range of
+customer specified Quasi-cyclic (QC) codes. The Turbo decode functionality
+principally covers codes used by LTE. The FEC Engine offers significant
+power and area savings versus implementations done in the FPGA fabric.
+

-*NOTE* on CD and WP polarity. To use common for all SD/MMC host controllers line
-polarity properties, we have to fix the meaning of the "normal" and "inverted"
-line levels. We choose to follow the SDHCI standard, which specifies both those
-lines as "active low." Therefore, using the "cd-inverted" property means, that
-the CD line is active high, i.e. it is high, when a card is inserted. Similar
-logic applies to the "wp-inverted" property.
-
-CD and WP lines can be implemented on the hardware in one of two ways: as GPIOs,
-specified in cd-gpios and wp-gpios properties, or as dedicated pins. Polarity of
-dedicated pins can be specified, using *-inverted properties. GPIO polarity can
-also be specified using the GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW flag. This creates an ambiguity
-in the latter case. We choose to use the XOR logic for GPIO CD and WP lines.
-This means, the two properties are "superimposed," for example leaving the
-GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW flag clear and specifying the respective *-inverted property
-property results in a double-inversion and actually means the "normal" line
-polarity is in effect.
-
-Optional SDIO properties:
-- keep-power-in-suspend: Preserves card power during a suspend/resume cycle
-- wakeup-source: Enables wake up of host system on SDIO IRQ assertion
- (Legacy property supported: "enable-sdio-wakeup")
-
-MMC power
----------
-
-Controllers may implement power control from both the connected cards and
-the IO signaling (for example to change to high-speed 1.8V signalling). If
-the system supports this, then the following two properties should point
-to valid regulator nodes:
-
-- vqmmc-supply: supply node for IO line power
-- vmmc-supply: supply node for card's power
-
-
-MMC power sequences:
---------------------
-
-System on chip designs may specify a specific MMC power sequence. To
-successfully detect an (e)MMC/SD/SDIO card, that power sequence must be
-maintained while initializing the card.
-
-Optional property:
-- mmc-pwrseq: phandle to the MMC power sequence node. See "mmc-pwrseq-*"
- for documentation of MMC power sequence bindings.
-
-
-Use of Function subnodes
-------------------------
-
-On embedded systems the cards connected to a host may need additional
-properties. These can be specified in subnodes to the host controller node.
-The subnodes are identified by the standard 'reg' property.
-Which information exactly can be specified depends on the bindings for the
-SDIO function driver for the subnode, as specified by the compatible string.
-
-Required host node properties when using function subnodes:
-- #address-cells: should be one. The cell is the slot id.
-- #size-cells: should be zero.
-
-Required function subnode properties:
-- reg: Must contain the SDIO function number of the function this subnode
- describes. A value of 0 denotes the memory SD function, values from
- 1 to 7 denote the SDIO functions.
-
-Optional function subnode properties:
-- compatible: name of SDIO function following generic names recommended practice
-
-
-Examples

-Fixed link Device Tree binding
-------------------------------
-
-Some Ethernet MACs have a "fixed link", and are not connected to a
-normal MDIO-managed PHY device. For those situations, a Device Tree
-binding allows to describe a "fixed link".
-
-Such a fixed link situation is described by creating a 'fixed-link'
-sub-node of the Ethernet MAC device node, with the following
-properties:
-
-* 'speed' (integer, mandatory), to indicate the link speed. Accepted
- values are 10, 100 and 1000
-* 'full-duplex' (boolean, optional), to indicate that full duplex is
- used. When absent, half duplex is assumed.
-* 'pause' (boolean, optional), to indicate that pause should be
- enabled.
-* 'asym-pause' (boolean, optional), to indicate that asym_pause should
- be enabled.
-* 'link-gpios' ('gpio-list', optional), to indicate if a gpio can be read
- to determine if the link is up.
-
-Old, deprecated 'fixed-link' binding:
-
-* A 'fixed-link' property in the Ethernet MAC node, with 5 cells, of the
- form <a b c d e> with the following accepted values:
- - a: emulated PHY ID, choose any but but unique to the all specified
- fixed-links, from 0 to 31
- - b: duplex configuration: 0 for half duplex, 1 for full duplex
- - c: link speed in Mbits/sec, accepted values are: 10, 100 and 1000
- - d: pause configuration: 0 for no pause, 1 for pause
- - e: asymmetric pause configuration: 0 for no asymmetric pause, 1 for
- asymmetric pause
-
-Examples:
-
-ethernet@0 {
- ...
- fixed-link {
- speed = <1000>;
- full-duplex;
- };
- ...
-};
-
-ethernet@1 {

- speed = <1000>;
- pause;
- link-gpios = <&gpio0 12 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;

-
-- enet-phy-lane-swap: If set, indicates the PHY will swap the TX/RX lanes to
- compensate for the board being designed with the lanes swapped.
-
-- enet-phy-lane-no-swap: If set, indicates that PHY will disable swap of the
- TX/RX lanes. This property allows the PHY to work correcly after e.g. wrong

+* Wiznet w5x00
+
+This is a standalone 10/100 MBit Ethernet controller with SPI interface.
+
+For each device connected to a SPI bus, define a child node within
+the SPI master node.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be one of the following strings:
+ "wiznet,w5100"
+ "wiznet,w5200"
+ "wiznet,w5500"
+- reg: Specify the SPI chip select the chip is wired to.
+- interrupts: Specify the interrupt index within the interrupt controller (referred
+ to above in interrupt-parent) and interrupt type. w5x00 natively
+ generates falling edge interrupts, however, additional board logic
+ might invert the signal.
+- pinctrl-names: List of assigned state names, see pinctrl binding documentation.
+- pinctrl-0: List of phandles to configure the GPIO pin used as interrupt line,
+ see also generic and your platform specific pinctrl binding
+ documentation.
+
+Optional properties:
+- spi-max-frequency: Maximum frequency of the SPI bus when accessing the w5500.
+ According to the w5500 datasheet, the chip allows a maximum of 80 MHz, however,
+ board designs may need to limit this value.
+- local-mac-address: See ethernet.txt in the same directory.
+
+
+Example (for Raspberry Pi with pin control stuff for GPIO irq):
+
+&spi {
+ ethernet@0: w5500@0 {
+ compatible = "wiznet,w5500";
+ reg = <0>;
+ pinctrl-names = "default";

+SiFive PWM controller
+
+Unlike most other PWM controllers, the SiFive PWM controller currently only
+supports one period for all channels in the PWM. All PWMs need to run at
+the same period. The period also has significant restrictions on the values
+it can achieve, which the driver rounds to the nearest achievable period.
+PWM RTL that corresponds to the IP block version numbers can be found
+here:
+
+https://github.com/sifive/sifive-blocks/tree/master/src/main/scala/devices/pwm
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be "sifive,<chip>-pwm" and "sifive,pwm<version>".
+ Supported compatible strings are: "sifive,fu540-c000-pwm" for the SiFive
+ PWM v0 as integrated onto the SiFive FU540 chip, and "sifive,pwm0" for the
+ SiFive PWM v0 IP block with no chip integration tweaks.
+ Please refer to sifive-blocks-ip-versioning.txt for details.
+- reg: physical base address and length of the controller's registers
+- clocks: Should contain a clock identifier for the PWM's parent clock.
+- #pwm-cells: Should be 3. See pwm.txt in this directory
+ for a description of the cell format.
+- interrupts: one interrupt per PWM channel
+
+Examples:
+
+pwm: pwm@10020000 {
+ compatible = "sifive,fu540-c000-pwm", "sifive,pwm0";
+ reg = <0x0 0x10020000 0x0 0x1000>;

-- regulator-state-standby sub-root node for Standby mode
- : equivalent with standby Linux sleep state, which provides energy savings
- with a relatively quick transition back time.
-- regulator-state-mem sub-root node for Suspend-to-RAM mode
- : suspend to memory, the device goes to sleep, but all data stored in memory,
- only some external interrupt can wake the device.
-- regulator-state-disk sub-root node for Suspend-to-DISK mode
- : suspend to disk, this state operates similarly to Suspend-to-RAM,
- but includes a final step of writing memory contents to disk.
-- regulator-state-[mem/disk/standby] node has following common properties:
- - regulator-on-in-suspend: regulator should be on in suspend state.
- - regulator-off-in-suspend: regulator should be off in suspend state.
- - regulator-suspend-min-microvolt: minimum voltage may be set in
- suspend state.
- - regulator-suspend-max-microvolt: maximum voltage may be set in
- suspend state.
- - regulator-suspend-microvolt: the default voltage which regulator
- would be set in suspend. This property is now deprecated, instead
- setting voltage for suspend mode via the API which regulator
- driver provides is recommended.
- - regulator-changeable-in-suspend: whether the default voltage and
- the regulator on/off in suspend can be changed in runtime.
- - regulator-mode: operating mode in the given suspend state.
- The set of possible operating modes depends on the capabilities of
- every hardware so the valid modes are documented on each regulator
- device tree binding document.
-- regulator-initial-mode: initial operating mode. The set of possible operating
- modes depends on the capabilities of every hardware so each device binding
- documentation explains which values the regulator supports.
-- regulator-allowed-modes: list of operating modes that software is allowed to
- configure for the regulator at run-time. Elements may be specified in any
- order. The set of possible operating modes depends on the capabilities of
- every hardware so each device binding document explains which values the
- regulator supports.
-- regulator-system-load: Load in uA present on regulator that is not captured by
- any consumer request.
-- regulator-pull-down: Enable pull down resistor when the regulator is disabled.
-- regulator-over-current-protection: Enable over current protection.
-- regulator-active-discharge: tristate, enable/disable active discharge of
- regulators. The values are:
- 0: Disable active discharge.
- 1: Enable active discharge.
- Absence of this property will leave configuration to default.
-- regulator-coupled-with: Regulators with which the regulator
- is coupled. The linkage is 2-way - all coupled regulators should be linked
- with each other. A regulator should not be coupled with its supplier.
-- regulator-coupled-max-spread: Array of maximum spread between voltages of
- coupled regulators in microvolts, each value in the array relates to the
- corresponding couple specified by the regulator-coupled-with property.
-- regulator-max-step-microvolt: Maximum difference between current and target
- voltages that can be changed safely in a single step.
-
-Deprecated properties:
-- regulator-compatible: If a regulator chip contains multiple
- regulators, and if the chip's binding contains a child node that
- describes each regulator, then this property indicates which regulator
- this child node is intended to configure. If this property is missing,
- the node's name will be used instead.
-
-Example:
-
- xyzreg: regulator@0 {
- regulator-min-microvolt = <1000000>;
- regulator-max-microvolt = <2500000>;
- regulator-always-on;
- vin-supply = <&vin>;
-
- regulator-state-mem {
- regulator-on-in-suspend;
- };
- };
-
-Regulator Consumers:
-Consumer nodes can reference one or more of its supplies/
-regulators using the below bindings.
-
-- <name>-supply: phandle to the regulator node
-
-These are the same bindings that a regulator in the above
-example used to reference its own supply, in which case
-its just seen as a special case of a regulator being a
-consumer itself.
-
-Example of a consumer device node (mmc) referencing two
-regulators (twl_reg1 and twl_reg2),
-
- twl_reg1: regulator@0 {
- ...
- ...
- ...
- };
-
- twl_reg2: regulator@1 {
- ...
- ...
- ...
- };
-
- mmc: mmc@0 {
- ...
- ...
- vmmc-supply = <&twl_reg1>;
- vmmcaux-supply = <&twl_reg2>;
- };

+ For all other codecs one of the MADERA_DMIC_REF_xxx values
+ Also see the datasheet for a description of the INn_DMIC_SUP field.

+ For non-muxed inputs the first two cells for that input set the mode for
+ the left and right channel and the second two cells must be 0.
+ For muxed inputs the first two cells for that input set the mode of the

+ Valid mode values are one of the MADERA_INMODE_xxx. If the array is shorter

+
+ - cirrus,max-channels-clocked : Maximum number of channels that I2S clocks
+ will be generated for. Useful when clock master for systems where the I2S
+ bus has multiple data lines.
+ One cell for each AIF, use a value of zero for AIFs that should be handled
+ normally.
+
+ - cirrus,pdm-fmt : PDM speaker data format, must contain 2 cells

-SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) busses
-
-SPI busses can be described with a node for the SPI controller device
-and a set of child nodes for each SPI slave on the bus. The system's SPI
-controller may be described for use in SPI master mode or in SPI slave mode,
-but not for both at the same time.
-
-The SPI controller node requires the following properties:
-- compatible - Name of SPI bus controller following generic names
- recommended practice.
-
-In master mode, the SPI controller node requires the following additional
-properties:
-- #address-cells - number of cells required to define a chip select
- address on the SPI bus.
-- #size-cells - should be zero.
-
-In slave mode, the SPI controller node requires one additional property:
-- spi-slave - Empty property.
-
-No other properties are required in the SPI bus node. It is assumed
-that a driver for an SPI bus device will understand that it is an SPI bus.
-However, the binding does not attempt to define the specific method for
-assigning chip select numbers. Since SPI chip select configuration is
-flexible and non-standardized, it is left out of this binding with the
-assumption that board specific platform code will be used to manage
-chip selects. Individual drivers can define additional properties to
-support describing the chip select layout.
-
-Optional properties (master mode only):
-- cs-gpios - gpios chip select.
-- num-cs - total number of chipselects.
-
-If cs-gpios is used the number of chip selects will be increased automatically
-with max(cs-gpios > hw cs).
-
-So if for example the controller has 2 CS lines, and the cs-gpios
-property looks like this:
-
-cs-gpios = <&gpio1 0 0>, <0>, <&gpio1 1 0>, <&gpio1 2 0>;
-
-Then it should be configured so that num_chipselect = 4 with the
-following mapping:
-
-cs0 : &gpio1 0 0
-cs1 : native
-cs2 : &gpio1 1 0
-cs3 : &gpio1 2 0
-
-
-SPI slave nodes must be children of the SPI controller node.
-
-In master mode, one or more slave nodes (up to the number of chip selects) can
-be present. Required properties are:
-- compatible - Name of SPI device following generic names recommended
- practice.
-- reg - Chip select address of device.
-- spi-max-frequency - Maximum SPI clocking speed of device in Hz.
-
-In slave mode, the (single) slave node is optional.
-If present, it must be called "slave". Required properties are:
-- compatible - Name of SPI device following generic names recommended
- practice.
-
-All slave nodes can contain the following optional properties:
-- spi-cpol - Empty property indicating device requires inverse clock
- polarity (CPOL) mode.
-- spi-cpha - Empty property indicating device requires shifted clock
- phase (CPHA) mode.
-- spi-cs-high - Empty property indicating device requires chip select
- active high.
-- spi-3wire - Empty property indicating device requires 3-wire mode.
-- spi-lsb-first - Empty property indicating device requires LSB first mode.
-- spi-tx-bus-width - The bus width (number of data wires) that is used for MOSI.
- Defaults to 1 if not present.
-- spi-rx-bus-width - The bus width (number of data wires) that is used for MISO.
- Defaults to 1 if not present.
-- spi-rx-delay-us - Microsecond delay after a read transfer.
-- spi-tx-delay-us - Microsecond delay after a write transfer.
-
-Some SPI controllers and devices support Dual and Quad SPI transfer mode.
-It allows data in the SPI system to be transferred using 2 wires (DUAL) or 4
-wires (QUAD).
-Now the value that spi-tx-bus-width and spi-rx-bus-width can receive is
-only 1 (SINGLE), 2 (DUAL) and 4 (QUAD).
-Dual/Quad mode is not allowed when 3-wire mode is used.
-
-If a gpio chipselect is used for the SPI slave the gpio number will be passed
-via the SPI master node cs-gpios property.
-
-SPI example for an MPC5200 SPI bus:
- spi@f00 {
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <0>;
- compatible = "fsl,mpc5200b-spi","fsl,mpc5200-spi";
- reg = <0xf00 0x20>;
- interrupts = <2 13 0 2 14 0>;
- interrupt-parent = <&mpc5200_pic>;
-
- ethernet-switch@0 {
- compatible = "micrel,ks8995m";
- spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
- reg = <0>;
- };
-
- codec@1 {
- compatible = "ti,tlv320aic26";
- spi-max-frequency = <100000>;
- reg = <1>;
- };
- };

+Intel(R) Active Management Technology (Intel AMT)
+=================================================
+
+Prominent usage of the Intel ME Interface is to communicate with Intel(R)
+Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) implemented in firmware running on
+the Intel ME.
+
+Intel AMT provides the ability to manage a host remotely out-of-band (OOB)
+even when the operating system running on the host processor has crashed or
+is in a sleep state.
+
+Some examples of Intel AMT usage are:
+ - Monitoring hardware state and platform components
+ - Remote power off/on (useful for green computing or overnight IT
+ maintenance)
+ - OS updates
+ - Storage of useful platform information such as software assets
+ - Built-in hardware KVM
+ - Selective network isolation of Ethernet and IP protocol flows based
+ on policies set by a remote management console
+ - IDE device redirection from remote management console
+
+Intel AMT (OOB) communication is based on SOAP (deprecated
+starting with Release 6.0) over HTTP/S or WS-Management protocol over
+HTTP/S that are received from a remote management console application.
+
+For more information about Intel AMT:
+https://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide/default.htm
+
+
+Intel AMT Applications
+----------------------
+
+ 1) Intel Local Management Service (Intel LMS)
+
+ Applications running locally on the platform communicate with Intel AMT Release
+ 2.0 and later releases in the same way that network applications do via SOAP
+ over HTTP (deprecated starting with Release 6.0) or with WS-Management over
+ SOAP over HTTP. This means that some Intel AMT features can be accessed from a
+ local application using the same network interface as a remote application
+ communicating with Intel AMT over the network.
+
+ When a local application sends a message addressed to the local Intel AMT host
+ name, the Intel LMS, which listens for traffic directed to the host name,
+ intercepts the message and routes it to the Intel MEI.
+ For more information:
+ https://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide/default.htm
+ Under "About Intel AMT" => "Local Access"
+
+ For downloading Intel LMS:
+ https://github.com/intel/lms
+
+ The Intel LMS opens a connection using the Intel MEI driver to the Intel LMS
+ firmware feature using a defined GUID and then communicates with the feature
+ using a protocol called Intel AMT Port Forwarding Protocol (Intel APF protocol).
+ The protocol is used to maintain multiple sessions with Intel AMT from a
+ single application.
+
+ See the protocol specification in the Intel AMT Software Development Kit (SDK)
+ https://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide/default.htm
+ Under "SDK Resources" => "Intel(R) vPro(TM) Gateway (MPS)"
+ => "Information for Intel(R) vPro(TM) Gateway Developers"
+ => "Description of the Intel AMT Port Forwarding (APF) Protocol"
+
+ 2) Intel AMT Remote configuration using a Local Agent
+
+ A Local Agent enables IT personnel to configure Intel AMT out-of-the-box
+ without requiring installing additional data to enable setup. The remote
+ configuration process may involve an ISV-developed remote configuration
+ agent that runs on the host.
+ For more information:
+ https://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide/default.htm
+ Under "Setup and Configuration of Intel AMT" =>
+ "SDK Tools Supporting Setup and Configuration" =>
+ "Using the Local Agent Sample"
+
+Intel AMT OS Health Watchdog
+----------------------------
+
+The Intel AMT Watchdog is an OS Health (Hang/Crash) watchdog.
+Whenever the OS hangs or crashes, Intel AMT will send an event
+to any subscriber to this event. This mechanism means that
+IT knows when a platform crashes even when there is a hard failure on the host.
+
+The Intel AMT Watchdog is composed of two parts:
+ 1) Firmware feature - receives the heartbeats
+ and sends an event when the heartbeats stop.
+ 2) Intel MEI iAMT watchdog driver - connects to the watchdog feature,
+ configures the watchdog and sends the heartbeats.
+
+The Intel iAMT watchdog MEI driver uses the kernel watchdog API to configure
+the Intel AMT Watchdog and to send heartbeats to it. The default timeout of the
+watchdog is 120 seconds.
+
+If the Intel AMT is not enabled in the firmware then the watchdog client won't enumerate
+on the me client bus and watchdog devices won't be exposed.

+Intel(R) Management Engine (ME) Client bus API
+==============================================
+
+
+Rationale
+=========
+
+The MEI character device is useful for dedicated applications to send and receive
+data to the many FW appliance found in Intel's ME from the user space.
+However, for some of the ME functionalities it makes sense to leverage existing software
+stack and expose them through existing kernel subsystems.
+
+In order to plug seamlessly into the kernel device driver model we add kernel virtual
+bus abstraction on top of the MEI driver. This allows implementing Linux kernel drivers
+for the various MEI features as a stand alone entities found in their respective subsystem.
+Existing device drivers can even potentially be re-used by adding an MEI CL bus layer to
+the existing code.
+
+
+MEI CL bus API
+==============
+
+A driver implementation for an MEI Client is very similar to any other existing bus
+based device drivers. The driver registers itself as an MEI CL bus driver through
+the ``struct mei_cl_driver`` structure defined in :file:`include/linux/mei_cl_bus.c`
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ struct mei_cl_driver {
+ struct device_driver driver;
+ const char *name;
+
+ const struct mei_cl_device_id *id_table;
+
+ int (*probe)(struct mei_cl_device *dev, const struct mei_cl_id *id);
+ int (*remove)(struct mei_cl_device *dev);
+ };
+
+
+
+The mei_cl_device_id structure defined in :file:`include/linux/mod_devicetable.h` allows a
+driver to bind itself against a device name.
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ struct mei_cl_device_id {
+ char name[MEI_CL_NAME_SIZE];
+ uuid_le uuid;
+ __u8 version;
+ kernel_ulong_t driver_info;
+ };
+
+To actually register a driver on the ME Client bus one must call the :c:func:`mei_cl_add_driver`
+API. This is typically called at module initialization time.
+
+Once the driver is registered and bound to the device, a driver will typically
+try to do some I/O on this bus and this should be done through the :c:func:`mei_cl_send`
+and :c:func:`mei_cl_recv` functions. More detailed information is in :ref:`api` section.
+
+In order for a driver to be notified about pending traffic or event, the driver
+should register a callback via :c:func:`mei_cl_devev_register_rx_cb` and
+:c:func:`mei_cldev_register_notify_cb` function respectively.

+
+Example
+=======
+
+As a theoretical example let's pretend the ME comes with a "contact" NFC IP.
+The driver init and exit routines for this device would look like:
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ #define CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME "contact"
+
+ static struct mei_cl_device_id contact_mei_cl_tbl[] = {
+ { CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME, },
+
+ /* required last entry */
+ { }
+ };
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(mei_cl, contact_mei_cl_tbl);
+
+ static struct mei_cl_driver contact_driver = {
+ .id_table = contact_mei_tbl,
+ .name = CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME,
+
+ .probe = contact_probe,
+ .remove = contact_remove,
+ };
+
+ static int contact_init(void)
+ {
+ int r;
+
+ r = mei_cl_driver_register(&contact_driver);
+ if (r) {
+ pr_err(CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME ": driver registration failed\n");
+ return r;
+ }
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+ static void __exit contact_exit(void)
+ {
+ mei_cl_driver_unregister(&contact_driver);
+ }
+
+ module_init(contact_init);
+ module_exit(contact_exit);
+
+And the driver's simplified probe routine would look like that:
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ int contact_probe(struct mei_cl_device *dev, struct mei_cl_device_id *id)
+ {
+ [...]
+ mei_cldev_enable(dev);
+
+ mei_cldev_register_rx_cb(dev, contact_rx_cb);

+Introduction
+============
+
+The Intel Management Engine (Intel ME) is an isolated and protected computing
+resource (Co-processor) residing inside certain Intel chipsets. The Intel ME
+provides support for computer/IT management and security features.
+The actual feature set depends on the Intel chipset SKU.
+
+The Intel Management Engine Interface (Intel MEI, previously known as HECI)
+is the interface between the Host and Intel ME. This interface is exposed
+to the host as a PCI device, actually multiple PCI devices might be exposed.
+The Intel MEI Driver is in charge of the communication channel between
+a host application and the Intel ME features.
+
+Each Intel ME feature, or Intel ME Client is addressed by a unique GUID and
+each client has its own protocol. The protocol is message-based with a
+header and payload up to maximal number of bytes advertised by the client,
+upon connection.
+
+Intel MEI Driver
+================
+
+The driver exposes a character device with device nodes /dev/meiX.
+
+An application maintains communication with an Intel ME feature while
+/dev/meiX is open. The binding to a specific feature is performed by calling
+:c:macro:`MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT_IOCTL`, which passes the desired GUID.
+The number of instances of an Intel ME feature that can be opened
+at the same time depends on the Intel ME feature, but most of the
+features allow only a single instance.
+
+The driver is transparent to data that are passed between firmware feature
+and host application.
+
+Because some of the Intel ME features can change the system
+configuration, the driver by default allows only a privileged
+user to access it.
+
+The session is terminated calling :c:func:`close(int fd)`.
+
+A code snippet for an application communicating with Intel AMTHI client:
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ struct mei_connect_client_data data;
+ fd = open(MEI_DEVICE);
+
+ data.d.in_client_uuid = AMTHI_GUID;
+
+ ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT, &data);
+
+ printf("Ver=%d, MaxLen=%ld\n",
+ data.d.in_client_uuid.protocol_version,
+ data.d.in_client_uuid.max_msg_length);
+
+ [...]
+
+ write(fd, amthi_req_data, amthi_req_data_len);
+
+ [...]
+
+ read(fd, &amthi_res_data, amthi_res_data_len);
+
+ [...]
+ close(fd);
+
+
+User space API
+
+IOCTLs:
+=======
+
+The Intel MEI Driver supports the following IOCTL commands:
+
+IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT
+-------------------------
+Connect to firmware Feature/Client.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ Usage:
+
+ struct mei_connect_client_data client_data;
+
+ ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT, &client_data);
+
+ Inputs:
+
+ struct mei_connect_client_data - contain the following
+ Input field:
+
+ in_client_uuid - GUID of the FW Feature that needs
+ to connect to.
+ Outputs:
+ out_client_properties - Client Properties: MTU and Protocol Version.
+
+ Error returns:
+
+ ENOTTY No such client (i.e. wrong GUID) or connection is not allowed.
+ EINVAL Wrong IOCTL Number
+ ENODEV Device or Connection is not initialized or ready.
+ ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory to client internal data.
+ EFAULT Fatal Error (e.g. Unable to access user input data)
+ EBUSY Connection Already Open
+
+:Note:
+ max_msg_length (MTU) in client properties describes the maximum
+ data that can be sent or received. (e.g. if MTU=2K, can send
+ requests up to bytes 2k and received responses up to 2k bytes).
+
+
+IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_SET
+---------------------
+Enable or disable event notifications.
+
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ Usage:
+
+ uint32_t enable;
+
+ ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_SET, &enable);
+
+
+ uint32_t enable = 1;
+ or
+ uint32_t enable[disable] = 0;
+
+ Error returns:
+
+
+ EINVAL Wrong IOCTL Number
+ ENODEV Device is not initialized or the client not connected
+ ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory to client internal data.
+ EFAULT Fatal Error (e.g. Unable to access user input data)
+ EOPNOTSUPP if the device doesn't support the feature
+
+:Note:
+ The client must be connected in order to enable notification events
+
+
+IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_GET
+--------------------
+Retrieve event
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ Usage:
+ uint32_t event;
+ ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_GET, &event);
+
+ Outputs:
+ 1 - if an event is pending
+ 0 - if there is no even pending
+
+ Error returns:
+ EINVAL Wrong IOCTL Number
+ ENODEV Device is not initialized or the client not connected
+ ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory to client internal data.
+ EFAULT Fatal Error (e.g. Unable to access user input data)
+ EOPNOTSUPP if the device doesn't support the feature
+
+:Note:
+ The client must be connected and event notification has to be enabled
+ in order to receive an event

There's also named equivalents like gray1..x provided you have an rgb.txt.
Somewhere in X's callchain, this results in a call to X code that handles the
colormap. For example, Xfbdev hits the following:

+ sq = dr * dr;
+ UnsignedToBigNum (sq, &sum);
+ BigNumAdd (&sum, &temp, &sum);
co.local.red are entries that were brought in through FBIOGETCMAP which come
directly from the info->cmap.red that was listed above. The prgb is the rgb
that the app wants to match to. The above code is doing what looks like a least
squares matching function. That's why the cmap entries can't be set to the left
hand side boundaries of a color range.

+=================

+
+
+This is a driver for a graphic framebuffer for Matrox devices on
+Alpha, Intel and PPC boxes.
+
+Advantages:
+
+ * It provides a nice large console (128 cols + 48 lines with 1024x768)
+ without using tiny, unreadable fonts.
+ * You can run XF{68,86}_FBDev or XFree86 fbdev driver on top of /dev/fb0
+ * Most important: boot logo :-)
+
+Disadvantages:
+
+ * graphic mode is slower than text mode... but you should not notice
+ if you use same resolution as you used in textmode.
+
+
+How to use it?
+==============
+
+Switching modes is done using the video=matroxfb:vesa:... boot parameter
+or using `fbset` program.
+
+If you want, for example, enable a resolution of 1280x1024x24bpp you should
+pass to the kernel this command line: "video=matroxfb:vesa:0x1BB".
+
+You should compile in both vgacon (to boot if you remove you Matrox from
+box) and matroxfb (for graphics mode). You should not compile-in vesafb
+unless you have primary display on non-Matrox VBE2.0 device (see
+Documentation/fb/vesafb.rst for details).
+
+Currently supported video modes are (through vesa:... interface, PowerMac
+has [as addon] compatibility code):

+You can enter these number either hexadecimal (leading `0x`) or decimal
+(0x100 = 256). You can also use value + 512 to achieve compatibility

+
+Non-listed number can be achieved by more complicated command-line, for
+example 1600x1200x32bpp can be specified by `video=matroxfb:vesa:0x11C,depth:32`.
+
+
+X11
+===
+
+XF{68,86}_FBDev should work just fine, but it is non-accelerated. On non-intel
+architectures there are some glitches for 24bpp videomodes. 8, 16 and 32bpp
+works fine.
+
+Running another (accelerated) X-Server like XF86_SVGA works too. But (at least)
+XFree servers have big troubles in multihead configurations (even on first
+head, not even talking about second). Running XFree86 4.x accelerated mga
+driver is possible, but you must not enable DRI - if you do, resolution and
+color depth of your X desktop must match resolution and color depths of your
+virtual consoles, otherwise X will corrupt accelerator settings.
+
+
+SVGALib
+=======
+
+Driver contains SVGALib compatibility code. It is turned on by choosing textual
+mode for console. You can do it at boot time by using videomode
+2,3,7,0x108-0x10C or 0x1C0. At runtime, `fbset -depth 0` does this work.
+Unfortunately, after SVGALib application exits, screen contents is corrupted.
+Switching to another console and back fixes it. I hope that it is SVGALib's
+problem and not mine, but I'm not sure.
+
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+You can pass kernel command line options to matroxfb with
+`video=matroxfb:option1,option2:value2,option3` (multiple options should be
+separated by comma, values are separated from options by `:`).
+Accepted options:
+
+============ ===================================================================
+mem:X size of memory (X can be in megabytes, kilobytes or bytes)
+ You can only decrease value determined by driver because of
+ it always probe for memory. Default is to use whole detected
+ memory usable for on-screen display (i.e. max. 8 MB).
+disabled do not load driver; you can use also `off`, but `disabled`
+ is here too.
+enabled load driver, if you have `video=matroxfb:disabled` in LILO
+ configuration, you can override it by this (you cannot override
+ `off`). It is default.
+noaccel do not use acceleration engine. It does not work on Alphas.
+accel use acceleration engine. It is default.
+nopan create initial consoles with vyres = yres, thus disabling virtual
+ scrolling.
+pan create initial consoles as tall as possible (vyres = memory/vxres).
+ It is default.
+nopciretry disable PCI retries. It is needed for some broken chipsets,
+ it is autodetected for intel's 82437. In this case device does
+ not comply to PCI 2.1 specs (it will not guarantee that every
+ transaction terminate with success or retry in 32 PCLK).
+pciretry enable PCI retries. It is default, except for intel's 82437.
+novga disables VGA I/O ports. It is default if BIOS did not enable
+ device. You should not use this option, some boards then do not
+ restart without power off.
+vga preserve state of VGA I/O ports. It is default. Driver does not
+ enable VGA I/O if BIOS did not it (it is not safe to enable it in
+ most cases).
+nobios disables BIOS ROM. It is default if BIOS did not enable BIOS
+ itself. You should not use this option, some boards then do not
+ restart without power off.
+bios preserve state of BIOS ROM. It is default. Driver does not enable
+ BIOS if BIOS was not enabled before.
+noinit tells driver, that devices were already initialized. You should use
+ it if you have G100 and/or if driver cannot detect memory, you see
+ strange pattern on screen and so on. Devices not enabled by BIOS
+ are still initialized. It is default.
+init driver initializes every device it knows about.

+ - 7 -> reserved
+
+ You should use sdram or sgram parameter in addition to memtype
+ parameter.
+nomtrr disables write combining on frame buffer. This slows down driver
+ but there is reported minor incompatibility between GUS DMA and
+ XFree under high loads if write combining is enabled (sound
+ dropouts).
+mtrr enables write combining on frame buffer. It speeds up video
+ accesses much. It is default. You must have MTRR support enabled
+ in kernel and your CPU must have MTRR (f.e. Pentium II have them).
+sgram tells to driver that you have Gxx0 with SGRAM memory. It has no
+ effect without `init`.
+sdram tells to driver that you have Gxx0 with SDRAM memory.
+ It is a default.
+inv24 change timings parameters for 24bpp modes on Millennium and
+ Millennium II. Specify this if you see strange color shadows
+ around characters.
+noinv24 use standard timings. It is the default.
+inverse invert colors on screen (for LCD displays)
+noinverse show true colors on screen. It is default.
+dev:X bind driver to device X. Driver numbers device from 0 up to N,
+ where device 0 is first `known` device found, 1 second and so on.
+ lspci lists devices in this order.
+ Default is `every` known device.
+nohwcursor disables hardware cursor (use software cursor instead).
+hwcursor enables hardware cursor. It is default. If you are using
+ non-accelerated mode (`noaccel` or `fbset -accel false`), software
+ cursor is used (except for text mode).
+noblink disables cursor blinking. Cursor in text mode always blinks (hw
+ limitation).
+blink enables cursor blinking. It is default.
+nofastfont disables fastfont feature. It is default.
+fastfont:X enables fastfont feature. X specifies size of memory reserved for
+ font data, it must be >= (fontwidth*fontheight*chars_in_font)/8.
+ It is faster on Gx00 series, but slower on older cards.
+grayscale enable grayscale summing. It works in PSEUDOCOLOR modes (text,
+ 4bpp, 8bpp). In DIRECTCOLOR modes it is limited to characters
+ displayed through putc/putcs. Direct accesses to framebuffer
+ can paint colors.
+nograyscale disable grayscale summing. It is default.
+cross4MB enables that pixel line can cross 4MB boundary. It is default for
+ non-Millennium.
+nocross4MB pixel line must not cross 4MB boundary. It is default for
+ Millennium I or II, because of these devices have hardware
+ limitations which do not allow this. But this option is
+ incompatible with some (if not all yet released) versions of
+ XF86_FBDev.
+dfp enables digital flat panel interface. This option is incompatible
+ with secondary (TV) output - if DFP is active, TV output must be
+ inactive and vice versa. DFP always uses same timing as primary
+ (monitor) output.
+dfp:X use settings X for digital flat panel interface. X is number from
+ 0 to 0xFF, and meaning of each individual bit is described in
+ G400 manual, in description of DAC register 0x1F. For normal
+ operation you should set all bits to zero, except lowest bit. This
+ lowest bit selects who is source of display clocks, whether G400,
+ or panel. Default value is now read back from hardware - so you
+ should specify this value only if you are also using `init`
+ parameter.
+outputs:XYZ set mapping between CRTC and outputs. Each letter can have value
+ of 0 (for no CRTC), 1 (CRTC1) or 2 (CRTC2), and first letter
+ corresponds to primary analog output, second letter to the
+ secondary analog output and third letter to the DVI output.
+ Default setting is 100 for cards below G400 or G400 without DFP,
+ 101 for G400 with DFP, and 111 for G450 and G550. You can set
+ mapping only on first card, use matroxset for setting up other
+ devices.
+vesa:X selects startup videomode. X is number from 0 to 0x1FF, see table
+ above for detailed explanation. Default is 640x480x8bpp if driver
+ has 8bpp support. Otherwise first available of 640x350x4bpp,
+ 640x480x15bpp, 640x480x24bpp, 640x480x32bpp or 80x25 text
+ (80x25 text is always available).
+============ ===================================================================
+
+If you are not satisfied with videomode selected by `vesa` option, you
+can modify it with these options:
+
+============ ===================================================================
+xres:X horizontal resolution, in pixels. Default is derived from `vesa`
+ option.
+yres:X vertical resolution, in pixel lines. Default is derived from `vesa`
+ option.
+upper:X top boundary: lines between end of VSYNC pulse and start of first
+ pixel line of picture. Default is derived from `vesa` option.
+lower:X bottom boundary: lines between end of picture and start of VSYNC
+ pulse. Default is derived from `vesa` option.
+vslen:X length of VSYNC pulse, in lines. Default is derived from `vesa`
+ option.
+left:X left boundary: pixels between end of HSYNC pulse and first pixel.
+ Default is derived from `vesa` option.
+right:X right boundary: pixels between end of picture and start of HSYNC
+ pulse. Default is derived from `vesa` option.
+hslen:X length of HSYNC pulse, in pixels. Default is derived from `vesa`
+ option.
+pixclock:X dotclocks, in ps (picoseconds). Default is derived from `vesa`
+ option and from `fh` and `fv` options.
+sync:X sync. pulse - bit 0 inverts HSYNC polarity, bit 1 VSYNC polarity.
+ If bit 3 (value 0x08) is set, composite sync instead of HSYNC is
+ generated. If bit 5 (value 0x20) is set, sync on green is turned
+ on. Do not forget that if you want sync on green, you also probably
+ want composite sync.
+ Default depends on `vesa`.
+depth:X Bits per pixel: 0=text, 4,8,15,16,24 or 32. Default depends on
+ `vesa`.
+============ ===================================================================
+
+If you know capabilities of your monitor, you can specify some (or all) of
+`maxclk`, `fh` and `fv`. In this case, `pixclock` is computed so that
+pixclock <= maxclk, real_fh <= fh and real_fv <= fv.
+
+============ ==================================================================
+maxclk:X maximum dotclock. X can be specified in MHz, kHz or Hz. Default is
+ `don`t care`.
+fh:X maximum horizontal synchronization frequency. X can be specified
+ in kHz or Hz. Default is `don't care`.
+fv:X maximum vertical frequency. X must be specified in Hz. Default is
+ 70 for modes derived from `vesa` with yres <= 400, 60Hz for
+ yres > 400.
+============ ==================================================================
+
+
+Limitations
+===========
+
+There are known and unknown bugs, features and misfeatures.
+Currently there are following known bugs:
+
+ - SVGALib does not restore screen on exit
+ - generic fbcon-cfbX procedures do not work on Alphas. Due to this,
+ `noaccel` (and cfb4 accel) driver does not work on Alpha. So everyone
+ with access to `/dev/fb*` on Alpha can hang machine (you should restrict
+ access to `/dev/fb*` - everyone with access to this device can destroy
+ your monitor, believe me...).
+ - 24bpp does not support correctly XF-FBDev on big-endian architectures.
+ - interlaced text mode is not supported; it looks like hardware limitation,
+ but I'm not sure.
+ - Gxx0 SGRAM/SDRAM is not autodetected.
+ - If you are using more than one framebuffer device, you must boot kernel
+ with 'video=scrollback:0'.
+ - maybe more...
+
+And following misfeatures:
+
+ - SVGALib does not restore screen on exit.
+ - pixclock for text modes is limited by hardware to
+
+ - 83 MHz on G200
+ - 66 MHz on Millennium I
+ - 60 MHz on Millennium II
+
+ Because I have no access to other devices, I do not know specific
+ frequencies for them. So driver does not check this and allows you to
+ set frequency higher that this. It causes sparks, black holes and other
+ pretty effects on screen. Device was not destroyed during tests. :-)
+ - my Millennium G200 oscillator has frequency range from 35 MHz to 380 MHz
+ (and it works with 8bpp on about 320 MHz dotclocks (and changed mclk)).
+ But Matrox says on product sheet that VCO limit is 50-250 MHz, so I believe
+ them (maybe that chip overheats, but it has a very big cooler (G100 has
+ none), so it should work).
+ - special mixed video/graphics videomodes of Mystique and Gx00 - 2G8V16 and
+ G16V16 are not supported
+ - color keying is not supported
+ - feature connector of Mystique and Gx00 is set to VGA mode (it is disabled
+ by BIOS)
+ - DDC (monitor detection) is supported through dualhead driver
+ - some check for input values are not so strict how it should be (you can
+ specify vslen=4000 and so on).
+ - maybe more...
+
+And following features:
+
+ - 4bpp is available only on Millennium I and Millennium II. It is hardware
+ limitation.
+ - selection between 1:5:5:5 and 5:6:5 16bpp videomode is done by -rgba
+ option of fbset: "fbset -depth 16 -rgba 5,5,5" selects 1:5:5:5, anything
+ else selects 5:6:5 mode.
+ - text mode uses 6 bit VGA palette instead of 8 bit (one of 262144 colors
+ instead of one of 16M colors). It is due to hardware limitation of
+ Millennium I/II and SVGALib compatibility.
+

+Dualhead G400

+ videomodes.
+ + secondary head is not accelerated. There were bad problems with accelerated
+ XFree when secondary head used to use acceleration.
+ + secondary head always powerups in 640x480@60-32 videomode. You have to use
+ fbset to change this mode.
+ + secondary head always powerups in monitor mode. You have to use fbmatroxset
+ to change it to TV mode. Also, you must select at least 525 lines for
+ NTSC output and 625 lines for PAL output.
+ + kernel is not fully multihead ready. So some things are impossible to do.
+ + if you compiled it as module, you must insert i2c-matroxfb, matroxfb_maven
+ and matroxfb_crtc2 into kernel.
+
+
+Dualhead G450

-What is matroxfb?
-=================
-
-This is a driver for a graphic framebuffer for Matrox devices on
-Alpha, Intel and PPC boxes.
-
-Advantages:
-
- * It provides a nice large console (128 cols + 48 lines with 1024x768)
- without using tiny, unreadable fonts.
- * You can run XF{68,86}_FBDev or XFree86 fbdev driver on top of /dev/fb0
- * Most important: boot logo :-)
-
-Disadvantages:
-
- * graphic mode is slower than text mode... but you should not notice
- if you use same resolution as you used in textmode.
-
-
-How to use it?
-==============
-
-Switching modes is done using the video=matroxfb:vesa:... boot parameter
-or using `fbset' program.
-
-If you want, for example, enable a resolution of 1280x1024x24bpp you should
-pass to the kernel this command line: "video=matroxfb:vesa:0x1BB".
-
-You should compile in both vgacon (to boot if you remove you Matrox from
-box) and matroxfb (for graphics mode). You should not compile-in vesafb
-unless you have primary display on non-Matrox VBE2.0 device (see
-Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt for details).
-
-Currently supported video modes are (through vesa:... interface, PowerMac
-has [as addon] compatibility code):

-You can enter these number either hexadecimal (leading `0x') or decimal

-
-Non-listed number can be achieved by more complicated command-line, for
-example 1600x1200x32bpp can be specified by `video=matroxfb:vesa:0x11C,depth:32'.
-
-
-X11
-===
-
-XF{68,86}_FBDev should work just fine, but it is non-accelerated. On non-intel
-architectures there are some glitches for 24bpp videomodes. 8, 16 and 32bpp
-works fine.
-
-Running another (accelerated) X-Server like XF86_SVGA works too. But (at least)
-XFree servers have big troubles in multihead configurations (even on first
-head, not even talking about second). Running XFree86 4.x accelerated mga
-driver is possible, but you must not enable DRI - if you do, resolution and
-color depth of your X desktop must match resolution and color depths of your
-virtual consoles, otherwise X will corrupt accelerator settings.
-
-
-SVGALib
-=======
-
-Driver contains SVGALib compatibility code. It is turned on by choosing textual
-mode for console. You can do it at boot time by using videomode
-2,3,7,0x108-0x10C or 0x1C0. At runtime, `fbset -depth 0' does this work.
-Unfortunately, after SVGALib application exits, screen contents is corrupted.
-Switching to another console and back fixes it. I hope that it is SVGALib's
-problem and not mine, but I'm not sure.
-
-
-Configuration
-=============
-
-You can pass kernel command line options to matroxfb with
-`video=matroxfb:option1,option2:value2,option3' (multiple options should be
-separated by comma, values are separated from options by `:').
-Accepted options:
-
-mem:X - size of memory (X can be in megabytes, kilobytes or bytes)
- You can only decrease value determined by driver because of
- it always probe for memory. Default is to use whole detected
- memory usable for on-screen display (i.e. max. 8 MB).
-disabled - do not load driver; you can use also `off', but `disabled'
- is here too.
-enabled - load driver, if you have `video=matroxfb:disabled' in LILO
- configuration, you can override it by this (you cannot override
- `off'). It is default.
-noaccel - do not use acceleration engine. It does not work on Alphas.
-accel - use acceleration engine. It is default.
-nopan - create initial consoles with vyres = yres, thus disabling virtual
- scrolling.
-pan - create initial consoles as tall as possible (vyres = memory/vxres).
- It is default.
-nopciretry - disable PCI retries. It is needed for some broken chipsets,
- it is autodetected for intel's 82437. In this case device does
- not comply to PCI 2.1 specs (it will not guarantee that every
- transaction terminate with success or retry in 32 PCLK).
-pciretry - enable PCI retries. It is default, except for intel's 82437.
-novga - disables VGA I/O ports. It is default if BIOS did not enable device.
- You should not use this option, some boards then do not restart
- without power off.
-vga - preserve state of VGA I/O ports. It is default. Driver does not
- enable VGA I/O if BIOS did not it (it is not safe to enable it in
- most cases).
-nobios - disables BIOS ROM. It is default if BIOS did not enable BIOS itself.
- You should not use this option, some boards then do not restart
- without power off.
-bios - preserve state of BIOS ROM. It is default. Driver does not enable
- BIOS if BIOS was not enabled before.
-noinit - tells driver, that devices were already initialized. You should use
- it if you have G100 and/or if driver cannot detect memory, you see
- strange pattern on screen and so on. Devices not enabled by BIOS
- are still initialized. It is default.
-init - driver initializes every device it knows about.
-memtype - specifies memory type, implies 'init'. This is valid only for G200
- and G400 and has following meaning:
- G200: 0 -> 2x128Kx32 chips, 2MB onboard, probably sgram
- 1 -> 2x128Kx32 chips, 4MB onboard, probably sgram
- 2 -> 2x256Kx32 chips, 4MB onboard, probably sgram
- 3 -> 2x256Kx32 chips, 8MB onboard, probably sgram
- 4 -> 2x512Kx16 chips, 8/16MB onboard, probably sdram only
- 5 -> same as above
- 6 -> 4x128Kx32 chips, 4MB onboard, probably sgram
- 7 -> 4x128Kx32 chips, 8MB onboard, probably sgram
- G400: 0 -> 2x512Kx16 SDRAM, 16/32MB
- 2x512Kx32 SGRAM, 16/32MB
- 1 -> 2x256Kx32 SGRAM, 8/16MB
- 2 -> 4x128Kx32 SGRAM, 8/16MB
- 3 -> 4x512Kx32 SDRAM, 32MB
- 4 -> 4x256Kx32 SGRAM, 16/32MB
- 5 -> 2x1Mx32 SDRAM, 32MB
- 6 -> reserved
- 7 -> reserved
- You should use sdram or sgram parameter in addition to memtype
- parameter.
-nomtrr - disables write combining on frame buffer. This slows down driver but
- there is reported minor incompatibility between GUS DMA and XFree
- under high loads if write combining is enabled (sound dropouts).
-mtrr - enables write combining on frame buffer. It speeds up video accesses
- much. It is default. You must have MTRR support enabled in kernel
- and your CPU must have MTRR (f.e. Pentium II have them).
-sgram - tells to driver that you have Gxx0 with SGRAM memory. It has no
- effect without `init'.
-sdram - tells to driver that you have Gxx0 with SDRAM memory.
- It is a default.
-inv24 - change timings parameters for 24bpp modes on Millennium and
- Millennium II. Specify this if you see strange color shadows around
- characters.
-noinv24 - use standard timings. It is the default.
-inverse - invert colors on screen (for LCD displays)
-noinverse - show true colors on screen. It is default.
-dev:X - bind driver to device X. Driver numbers device from 0 up to N,
- where device 0 is first `known' device found, 1 second and so on.
- lspci lists devices in this order.
- Default is `every' known device.
-nohwcursor - disables hardware cursor (use software cursor instead).
-hwcursor - enables hardware cursor. It is default. If you are using
- non-accelerated mode (`noaccel' or `fbset -accel false'), software
- cursor is used (except for text mode).
-noblink - disables cursor blinking. Cursor in text mode always blinks (hw
- limitation).
-blink - enables cursor blinking. It is default.
-nofastfont - disables fastfont feature. It is default.
-fastfont:X - enables fastfont feature. X specifies size of memory reserved for
- font data, it must be >= (fontwidth*fontheight*chars_in_font)/8.
- It is faster on Gx00 series, but slower on older cards.
-grayscale - enable grayscale summing. It works in PSEUDOCOLOR modes (text,
- 4bpp, 8bpp). In DIRECTCOLOR modes it is limited to characters
- displayed through putc/putcs. Direct accesses to framebuffer
- can paint colors.
-nograyscale - disable grayscale summing. It is default.
-cross4MB - enables that pixel line can cross 4MB boundary. It is default for
- non-Millennium.
-nocross4MB - pixel line must not cross 4MB boundary. It is default for
- Millennium I or II, because of these devices have hardware
- limitations which do not allow this. But this option is
- incompatible with some (if not all yet released) versions of
- XF86_FBDev.
-dfp - enables digital flat panel interface. This option is incompatible with
- secondary (TV) output - if DFP is active, TV output must be
- inactive and vice versa. DFP always uses same timing as primary
- (monitor) output.
-dfp:X - use settings X for digital flat panel interface. X is number from
- 0 to 0xFF, and meaning of each individual bit is described in
- G400 manual, in description of DAC register 0x1F. For normal operation
- you should set all bits to zero, except lowest bit. This lowest bit
- selects who is source of display clocks, whether G400, or panel.
- Default value is now read back from hardware - so you should specify
- this value only if you are also using `init' parameter.
-outputs:XYZ - set mapping between CRTC and outputs. Each letter can have value
- of 0 (for no CRTC), 1 (CRTC1) or 2 (CRTC2), and first letter corresponds
- to primary analog output, second letter to the secondary analog output
- and third letter to the DVI output. Default setting is 100 for
- cards below G400 or G400 without DFP, 101 for G400 with DFP, and
- 111 for G450 and G550. You can set mapping only on first card,
- use matroxset for setting up other devices.
-vesa:X - selects startup videomode. X is number from 0 to 0x1FF, see table
- above for detailed explanation. Default is 640x480x8bpp if driver
- has 8bpp support. Otherwise first available of 640x350x4bpp,
- 640x480x15bpp, 640x480x24bpp, 640x480x32bpp or 80x25 text

-If you are not satisfied with videomode selected by `vesa' option, you
-can modify it with these options:
-
-xres:X - horizontal resolution, in pixels. Default is derived from `vesa'
- option.
-yres:X - vertical resolution, in pixel lines. Default is derived from `vesa'
- option.
-upper:X - top boundary: lines between end of VSYNC pulse and start of first
- pixel line of picture. Default is derived from `vesa' option.
-lower:X - bottom boundary: lines between end of picture and start of VSYNC
- pulse. Default is derived from `vesa' option.
-vslen:X - length of VSYNC pulse, in lines. Default is derived from `vesa'
- option.
-left:X - left boundary: pixels between end of HSYNC pulse and first pixel.
- Default is derived from `vesa' option.
-right:X - right boundary: pixels between end of picture and start of HSYNC
- pulse. Default is derived from `vesa' option.
-hslen:X - length of HSYNC pulse, in pixels. Default is derived from `vesa'
- option.
-pixclock:X - dotclocks, in ps (picoseconds). Default is derived from `vesa'
- option and from `fh' and `fv' options.
-sync:X - sync. pulse - bit 0 inverts HSYNC polarity, bit 1 VSYNC polarity.
- If bit 3 (value 0x08) is set, composite sync instead of HSYNC is
- generated. If bit 5 (value 0x20) is set, sync on green is turned on.
- Do not forget that if you want sync on green, you also probably
- want composite sync.
- Default depends on `vesa'.
-depth:X - Bits per pixel: 0=text, 4,8,15,16,24 or 32. Default depends on
- `vesa'.
-
-If you know capabilities of your monitor, you can specify some (or all) of
-`maxclk', `fh' and `fv'. In this case, `pixclock' is computed so that
-pixclock <= maxclk, real_fh <= fh and real_fv <= fv.
-
-maxclk:X - maximum dotclock. X can be specified in MHz, kHz or Hz. Default is
- `don't care'.
-fh:X - maximum horizontal synchronization frequency. X can be specified
- in kHz or Hz. Default is `don't care'.
-fv:X - maximum vertical frequency. X must be specified in Hz. Default is
- 70 for modes derived from `vesa' with yres <= 400, 60Hz for
- yres > 400.

-Limitations
-===========
-
-There are known and unknown bugs, features and misfeatures.
-Currently there are following known bugs:
- + SVGALib does not restore screen on exit
- + generic fbcon-cfbX procedures do not work on Alphas. Due to this,
- `noaccel' (and cfb4 accel) driver does not work on Alpha. So everyone
- with access to /dev/fb* on Alpha can hang machine (you should restrict
- access to /dev/fb* - everyone with access to this device can destroy
- your monitor, believe me...).
- + 24bpp does not support correctly XF-FBDev on big-endian architectures.
- + interlaced text mode is not supported; it looks like hardware limitation,
- but I'm not sure.
- + Gxx0 SGRAM/SDRAM is not autodetected.
- + If you are using more than one framebuffer device, you must boot kernel
- with 'video=scrollback:0'.
- + maybe more...
-And following misfeatures:
- + SVGALib does not restore screen on exit.
- + pixclock for text modes is limited by hardware to
- 83 MHz on G200
- 66 MHz on Millennium I
- 60 MHz on Millennium II
- Because I have no access to other devices, I do not know specific
- frequencies for them. So driver does not check this and allows you to
- set frequency higher that this. It causes sparks, black holes and other
- pretty effects on screen. Device was not destroyed during tests. :-)
- + my Millennium G200 oscillator has frequency range from 35 MHz to 380 MHz
- (and it works with 8bpp on about 320 MHz dotclocks (and changed mclk)).
- But Matrox says on product sheet that VCO limit is 50-250 MHz, so I believe
- them (maybe that chip overheats, but it has a very big cooler (G100 has
- none), so it should work).
- + special mixed video/graphics videomodes of Mystique and Gx00 - 2G8V16 and
- G16V16 are not supported
- + color keying is not supported
- + feature connector of Mystique and Gx00 is set to VGA mode (it is disabled
- by BIOS)
- + DDC (monitor detection) is supported through dualhead driver
- + some check for input values are not so strict how it should be (you can
- specify vslen=4000 and so on).
- + maybe more...
-And following features:
- + 4bpp is available only on Millennium I and Millennium II. It is hardware
- limitation.
- + selection between 1:5:5:5 and 5:6:5 16bpp videomode is done by -rgba
- option of fbset: "fbset -depth 16 -rgba 5,5,5" selects 1:5:5:5, anything
- else selects 5:6:5 mode.
- + text mode uses 6 bit VGA palette instead of 8 bit (one of 262144 colors
- instead of one of 16M colors). It is due to hardware limitation of
- Millennium I/II and SVGALib compatibility.
-

-Benchmarks
-==========
-It is time to redraw whole screen 1000 times in 1024x768, 60Hz. It is
-time for draw 6144000 characters on screen through /dev/vcsa
-(for 32bpp it is about 3GB of data (exactly 3000 MB); for 8x16 font in
-16 seconds, i.e. 187 MBps).
-Times were obtained from one older version of driver, now they are about 3%
-faster, it is kernel-space only time on P-II/350 MHz, Millennium I in 33 MHz
-PCI slot, G200 in AGP 2x slot. I did not test vgacon.

+SH7760/SH7763 integrated LCDC Framebuffer driver
+================================================
+
+0. Overview
+-----------
+The SH7760/SH7763 have an integrated LCD Display controller (LCDC) which
+supports (in theory) resolutions ranging from 1x1 to 1024x1024,
+with color depths ranging from 1 to 16 bits, on STN, DSTN and TFT Panels.
+
+Caveats:
+
+* Framebuffer memory must be a large chunk allocated at the top
+ of Area3 (HW requirement). Because of this requirement you should NOT
+ make the driver a module since at runtime it may become impossible to
+ get a large enough contiguous chunk of memory.
+
+* The driver does not support changing resolution while loaded
+ (displays aren't hotpluggable anyway)
+
+* Heavy flickering may be observed
+ a) if you're using 15/16bit color modes at >= 640x480 px resolutions,
+ b) during PCMCIA (or any other slow bus) activity.
+
+* Rotation works only 90degress clockwise, and only if horizontal
+ resolution is <= 320 pixels.

+1. Platform setup

+ DMARSRA register somewhere at boot).
+
+ PFC registers PCCR and PCDR must be set to peripheral mode.
+ (write zeros to both).
+
+The driver does NOT do the above for you since board setup is, well, job
+of the board setup code.
+
+2. Panel definitions
+--------------------
+The LCDC must explicitly be told about the type of LCD panel
+attached. Data must be wrapped in a "struct sh7760fb_platdata" and
+passed to the driver as platform_data.

+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This is a frame buffer device driver for 3dfx' Voodoo Graphics
+(aka voodoo 1, aka sst1) and Voodoo² (aka Voodoo 2, aka CVG) based
+video boards. It's highly experimental code, but is guaranteed to work
+on my computer, with my "Maxi Gamer 3D" and "Maxi Gamer 3d²" boards,
+and with me "between chair and keyboard". Some people tested other
+combinations and it seems that it works.
+The main page is located at <http://sstfb.sourceforge.net>, and if
+you want the latest version, check out the CVS, as the driver is a work
+in progress, I feel uncomfortable with releasing tarballs of something
+not completely working...Don't worry, it's still more than usable
+(I eat my own dog food)
+
+Please read the Bug section, and report any success or failure to me
+(Ghozlane Toumi <gtoumi@laposte.net>).
+BTW, If you have only one monitor , and you don't feel like playing
+with the vga passthrou cable, I can only suggest borrowing a screen
+somewhere...
+
+
+Installation
+============
+
+This driver (should) work on ix86, with "late" 2.2.x kernel (tested
+with x = 19) and "recent" 2.4.x kernel, as a module or compiled in.
+It has been included in mainstream kernel since the infamous 2.4.10.
+You can apply the patches found in `sstfb/kernel/*-2.{2|4}.x.patch`,
+and copy sstfb.c to linux/drivers/video/, or apply a single patch,
+`sstfb/patch-2.{2|4}.x-sstfb-yymmdd` to your linux source tree.
+
+Then configure your kernel as usual: choose "m" or "y" to 3Dfx Voodoo
+Graphics in section "console". Compile, install, have fun... and please
+drop me a report :)
+
+
+Module Usage
+============
+
+.. warning::
+
+ #. You should read completely this section before issuing any command.
+
+ #. If you have only one monitor to play with, once you insmod the
+ module, the 3dfx takes control of the output, so you'll have to
+ plug the monitor to the "normal" video board in order to issue
+ the commands, or you can blindly use sst_dbg_vgapass
+ in the tools directory (See Tools). The latest solution is pass the
+ parameter vgapass=1 when insmodding the driver. (See Kernel/Modules
+ Options)
+
+Module insertion
+----------------
+
+ #. insmod sstfb.o
+
+ you should see some strange output from the board:
+ a big blue square, a green and a red small squares and a vertical
+ white rectangle. why? the function's name is self-explanatory:
+ "sstfb_test()"...
+ (if you don't have a second monitor, you'll have to plug your monitor
+ directly to the 2D videocard to see what you're typing)
+
+ #. con2fb /dev/fbx /dev/ttyx
+
+ bind a tty to the new frame buffer. if you already have a frame
+ buffer driver, the voodoo fb will likely be /dev/fb1. if not,
+ the device will be /dev/fb0. You can check this by doing a
+ cat /proc/fb. You can find a copy of con2fb in tools/ directory.
+ if you don't have another fb device, this step is superfluous,
+ as the console subsystem automagicaly binds ttys to the fb.
+ #. switch to the virtual console you just mapped. "tadaaa" ...
+
+Module removal
+--------------
+
+ #. con2fb /dev/fbx /dev/ttyx
+
+ bind the tty to the old frame buffer so the module can be removed.
+ (how does it work with vgacon ? short answer : it doesn't work)
+
+ #. rmmod sstfb
+
+
+Kernel/Modules Options
+----------------------
+
+You can pass some options to the sstfb module, and via the kernel
+command line when the driver is compiled in:
+for module : insmod sstfb.o option1=value1 option2=value2 ...
+in kernel : video=sstfb:option1,option2:value2,option3 ...
+
+sstfb supports the following options:
+
+=============== =============== ===============================================
+Module Kernel Description
+=============== =============== ===============================================
+vgapass=0 vganopass Enable or disable VGA passthrou cable.
+vgapass=1 vgapass When enabled, the monitor will get the signal
+ from the VGA board and not from the voodoo.
+
+ Default: nopass
+
+mem=x mem:x Force frame buffer memory in MiB
+ allowed values: 0, 1, 2, 4.
+
+ Default: 0 (= autodetect)
+
+inverse=1 inverse Supposed to enable inverse console.
+ doesn't work yet...
+
+clipping=1 clipping Enable or disable clipping.
+clipping=0 noclipping With clipping enabled, all offscreen
+ reads and writes are discarded.
+
+ Default: enable clipping.
+
+gfxclk=x gfxclk:x Force graphic clock frequency (in MHz).
+ Be careful with this option, it may be

-Introduction
-
- This is a frame buffer device driver for 3dfx' Voodoo Graphics
- (aka voodoo 1, aka sst1) and Voodoo² (aka Voodoo 2, aka CVG) based
- video boards. It's highly experimental code, but is guaranteed to work
- on my computer, with my "Maxi Gamer 3D" and "Maxi Gamer 3d²" boards,
- and with me "between chair and keyboard". Some people tested other
- combinations and it seems that it works.
- The main page is located at <http://sstfb.sourceforge.net>, and if
- you want the latest version, check out the CVS, as the driver is a work
- in progress, I feel uncomfortable with releasing tarballs of something
- not completely working...Don't worry, it's still more than usable
- (I eat my own dog food)
-
- Please read the Bug section, and report any success or failure to me
- (Ghozlane Toumi <gtoumi@laposte.net>).
- BTW, If you have only one monitor , and you don't feel like playing
- with the vga passthrou cable, I can only suggest borrowing a screen
- somewhere...
-
-
-Installation
-
- This driver (should) work on ix86, with "late" 2.2.x kernel (tested
- with x = 19) and "recent" 2.4.x kernel, as a module or compiled in.
- It has been included in mainstream kernel since the infamous 2.4.10.
- You can apply the patches found in sstfb/kernel/*-2.{2|4}.x.patch,
- and copy sstfb.c to linux/drivers/video/, or apply a single patch,
- sstfb/patch-2.{2|4}.x-sstfb-yymmdd to your linux source tree.
-
- Then configure your kernel as usual: choose "m" or "y" to 3Dfx Voodoo
- Graphics in section "console". Compile, install, have fun... and please
- drop me a report :)
-
-
-Module Usage
-
- Warnings.
- # You should read completely this section before issuing any command.
- # If you have only one monitor to play with, once you insmod the
- module, the 3dfx takes control of the output, so you'll have to
- plug the monitor to the "normal" video board in order to issue
- the commands, or you can blindly use sst_dbg_vgapass
- in the tools directory (See Tools). The latest solution is pass the
- parameter vgapass=1 when insmodding the driver. (See Kernel/Modules
- Options)
-
- Module insertion:
- # insmod sstfb.o
- you should see some strange output from the board:
- a big blue square, a green and a red small squares and a vertical
- white rectangle. why? the function's name is self-explanatory:
- "sstfb_test()"...
- (if you don't have a second monitor, you'll have to plug your monitor
- directly to the 2D videocard to see what you're typing)
- # con2fb /dev/fbx /dev/ttyx
- bind a tty to the new frame buffer. if you already have a frame
- buffer driver, the voodoo fb will likely be /dev/fb1. if not,
- the device will be /dev/fb0. You can check this by doing a
- cat /proc/fb. You can find a copy of con2fb in tools/ directory.
- if you don't have another fb device, this step is superfluous,
- as the console subsystem automagicaly binds ttys to the fb.
- # switch to the virtual console you just mapped. "tadaaa" ...
-
- Module removal:
- # con2fb /dev/fbx /dev/ttyx
- bind the tty to the old frame buffer so the module can be removed.
- (how does it work with vgacon ? short answer : it doesn't work)
- # rmmod sstfb
-
-
-Kernel/Modules Options
-
- You can pass some options to the sstfb module, and via the kernel
- command line when the driver is compiled in:
- for module : insmod sstfb.o option1=value1 option2=value2 ...
- in kernel : video=sstfb:option1,option2:value2,option3 ...
-
- sstfb supports the following options :
-
-Module Kernel Description

+ set the 'nocrtc' option to ensure that the video mode is properly
+ restored after console <-> X switches.
+
+nocrtc Do not use CRTC timings while setting the video mode. This option
+ has any effect only if the Video BIOS is VBE 3.0 compliant. Use it
+ if you have problems with modes set the standard way. Note that

+v86d:path Set path to the v86d executable. This option is only available as

+ secondary device.
+
+ For example:

+ To enable one device, such as DVI only, we can use::
+
+ modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=DVI
+
+ To enable two devices, such as CRT+DVI::
+
+ modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=CRT+DVI;
+
+ For DuoView case, we can use::
+
+ modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=CRT+DVI
+
+ OR::
+
+ modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=DVI+CRT...
+
+ For SAMM case:
+
+ If CRT is primary and DVI is secondary, we should use::
+
+ modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=CRT+DVI viafb_SAMM_ON=1...
+
+ If DVI is primary and CRT is secondary, we should use::
+
+ modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=DVI+CRT viafb_SAMM_ON=1...
+
+ viafb_display_hardware_layout:
+ This option is used to specify display hardware layout for CX700 chip.
+
+ - 1 : LCD only
+ - 2 : DVI only
+ - 3 : LCD+DVI (default)
+ - 4 : LCD1+LCD2 (internal + internal)

+ This option is used to set second device memory size(MB) in SAMM case.
+ The minimal size is 16.
+
+ viafb_platform_epia_dvi:
+ This option is used to enable DVI on EPIA - M
+
+ - 0 : No DVI on EPIA - M (default)
+ - 1 : DVI on EPIA - M

+
+ for external LCD + external DVI on CX700(External LCD is on DVP0),
+ we should use::
+
+ modprobe viafb viafb_lcd_port=DVP0...
+
+Notes:
+ 1. CRT may not display properly for DuoView CRT & DVI display at
+ the "640x480" PAL mode with DVI overscan enabled.
+ 2. SAMM stands for single adapter multi monitors. It is different from
+ multi-head since SAMM support multi monitor at driver layers, thus fbcon
+ layer doesn't even know about it; SAMM's second screen doesn't have a
+ device node file, thus a user mode application can't access it directly.
+ When SAMM is enabled, viafb_mode and viafb_mode1, viafb_bpp and
+ viafb_bpp1, viafb_refresh and viafb_refresh1 can be different.
+ 3. When console is depending on viafbinfo1, dynamically change resolution
+ and bpp, need to call VIAFB specified ioctl interface VIAFB_SET_DEVICE
+ instead of calling common ioctl function FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO since
+ viafb doesn't support multi-head well, or it will cause screen crush.
+
+
+Configure viafb with "fbset" tool
+---------------------------------
+
+ "fbset" is an inbox utility of Linux.
+
+ 1. Inquire current viafb information, type::
+
+ # fbset -i
+
+ 2. Set various resolutions and viafb_refresh rates::
+
+ # fbset <resolution-vertical_sync>
+
+ example::
+
+ # fbset "1024x768-75"
+
+ or::
+
+ # fbset -g 1024 768 1024 768 32
+
+ Check the file "/etc/fb.modes" to find display modes available.
+
+ 3. Set the color depth::
+
+ # fbset -depth <value>
+
+ example::
+
+ # fbset -depth 16
+
+
+Configure viafb via /proc
+-------------------------
+ The following files exist in /proc/viafb
+
+ supported_output_devices
+ This read-only file contains a full ',' separated list containing all
+ output devices that could be available on your platform. It is likely
+ that not all of those have a connector on your hardware but it should
+ provide a good starting point to figure out which of those names match
+ a real connector.
+
+ Example::
+
+ # cat /proc/viafb/supported_output_devices
+
+ iga1/output_devices, iga2/output_devices
+ These two files are readable and writable. iga1 and iga2 are the two
+ independent units that produce the screen image. Those images can be
+ forwarded to one or more output devices. Reading those files is a way
+ to query which output devices are currently used by an iga.
+
+ Example::
+
+ # cat /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
+
+ If there are no output devices printed the output of this iga is lost.
+ This can happen for example if only one (the other) iga is used.
+ Writing to these files allows adjusting the output devices during
+ runtime. One can add new devices, remove existing ones or switch
+ between igas. Essentially you can write a ',' separated list of device
+ names (or a single one) in the same format as the output to those
+ files. You can add a '+' or '-' as a prefix allowing simple addition
+ and removal of devices. So a prefix '+' adds the devices from your list
+ to the already existing ones, '-' removes the listed devices from the
+ existing ones and if no prefix is given it replaces all existing ones
+ with the listed ones. If you remove devices they are expected to turn
+ off. If you add devices that are already part of the other iga they are
+ removed there and added to the new one.
+
+ Examples:
+
+ Add CRT as output device to iga1::
+
+ # echo +CRT > /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
+
+ Remove (turn off) DVP1 and LVDS1 as output devices of iga2::
+
+ # echo -DVP1,LVDS1 > /proc/viafb/iga2/output_devices
+
+ Replace all iga1 output devices by CRT::
+
+ # echo CRT > /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
+
+
+Bootup with viafb
+-----------------
+
+Add the following line to your grub.conf::
+
+ append = "video=viafb:viafb_mode=1024x768,viafb_bpp=32,viafb_refresh=85"

- set viafb_active_dev=DVI. In SAMM case, the previous of
- viafb_active_dev is primary device, and the following is
- secondary device.
-
- For example:
- To enable one device, such as DVI only, we can use:
- modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=DVI
- To enable two devices, such as CRT+DVI:
- modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=CRT+DVI;
-
- For DuoView case, we can use:
- modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=CRT+DVI
- OR
- modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=DVI+CRT...
-
- For SAMM case:
- If CRT is primary and DVI is secondary, we should use:
- modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=CRT+DVI viafb_SAMM_ON=1...
- If DVI is primary and CRT is secondary, we should use:
- modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=DVI+CRT viafb_SAMM_ON=1...

-
- viafb_lcd_port:
- This option is used to specify LCD output port,
- available values are "DVP0" "DVP1" "DFP_HIGHLOW" "DFP_HIGH" "DFP_LOW".
- for external LCD + external DVI on CX700(External LCD is on DVP0),
- we should use:
- modprobe viafb viafb_lcd_port=DVP0...
-
-Notes:
- 1. CRT may not display properly for DuoView CRT & DVI display at
- the "640x480" PAL mode with DVI overscan enabled.
- 2. SAMM stands for single adapter multi monitors. It is different from
- multi-head since SAMM support multi monitor at driver layers, thus fbcon
- layer doesn't even know about it; SAMM's second screen doesn't have a
- device node file, thus a user mode application can't access it directly.
- When SAMM is enabled, viafb_mode and viafb_mode1, viafb_bpp and
- viafb_bpp1, viafb_refresh and viafb_refresh1 can be different.
- 3. When console is depending on viafbinfo1, dynamically change resolution
- and bpp, need to call VIAFB specified ioctl interface VIAFB_SET_DEVICE
- instead of calling common ioctl function FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO since
- viafb doesn't support multi-head well, or it will cause screen crush.
-
-
-[Configure viafb with "fbset" tool]
------------------------------------
- "fbset" is an inbox utility of Linux.
- 1. Inquire current viafb information, type,
- # fbset -i
-
- 2. Set various resolutions and viafb_refresh rates,
- # fbset <resolution-vertical_sync>
-
- example,
- # fbset "1024x768-75"
- or
- # fbset -g 1024 768 1024 768 32
- Check the file "/etc/fb.modes" to find display modes available.
-
- 3. Set the color depth,
- # fbset -depth <value>
-
- example,
- # fbset -depth 16
-
-
-[Configure viafb via /proc]
----------------------------
- The following files exist in /proc/viafb
-
- supported_output_devices
-
- This read-only file contains a full ',' separated list containing all
- output devices that could be available on your platform. It is likely
- that not all of those have a connector on your hardware but it should
- provide a good starting point to figure out which of those names match
- a real connector.
- Example:
- # cat /proc/viafb/supported_output_devices
-
- iga1/output_devices
- iga2/output_devices
-
- These two files are readable and writable. iga1 and iga2 are the two
- independent units that produce the screen image. Those images can be
- forwarded to one or more output devices. Reading those files is a way
- to query which output devices are currently used by an iga.
- Example:
- # cat /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
- If there are no output devices printed the output of this iga is lost.
- This can happen for example if only one (the other) iga is used.
- Writing to these files allows adjusting the output devices during
- runtime. One can add new devices, remove existing ones or switch
- between igas. Essentially you can write a ',' separated list of device
- names (or a single one) in the same format as the output to those
- files. You can add a '+' or '-' as a prefix allowing simple addition
- and removal of devices. So a prefix '+' adds the devices from your list
- to the already existing ones, '-' removes the listed devices from the
- existing ones and if no prefix is given it replaces all existing ones
- with the listed ones. If you remove devices they are expected to turn
- off. If you add devices that are already part of the other iga they are
- removed there and added to the new one.
- Examples:
- Add CRT as output device to iga1
- # echo +CRT > /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
-
- Remove (turn off) DVP1 and LVDS1 as output devices of iga2
- # echo -DVP1,LVDS1 > /proc/viafb/iga2/output_devices
-
- Replace all iga1 output devices by CRT
- # echo CRT > /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
-
-
-[Bootup with viafb]:
---------------------
- Add the following line to your grub.conf:
- append = "video=viafb:viafb_mode=1024x768,viafb_bpp=32,viafb_refresh=85"

+
+Tests
+=====
+
+To test fscrypt, use xfstests, which is Linux's de facto standard
+filesystem test suite. First, run all the tests in the "encrypt"
+group on the relevant filesystem(s). For example, to test ext4 and
+f2fs encryption using `kvm-xfstests
+<https://github.com/tytso/xfstests-bld/blob/master/Documentation/kvm-quickstart.md>`_::
+
+ kvm-xfstests -c ext4,f2fs -g encrypt
+
+UBIFS encryption can also be tested this way, but it should be done in
+a separate command, and it takes some time for kvm-xfstests to set up
+emulated UBI volumes::
+
+ kvm-xfstests -c ubifs -g encrypt
+
+No tests should fail. However, tests that use non-default encryption
+modes (e.g. generic/549 and generic/550) will be skipped if the needed
+algorithms were not built into the kernel's crypto API. Also, tests
+that access the raw block device (e.g. generic/399, generic/548,
+generic/549, generic/550) will be skipped on UBIFS.
+
+Besides running the "encrypt" group tests, for ext4 and f2fs it's also
+possible to run most xfstests with the "test_dummy_encryption" mount
+option. This option causes all new files to be automatically
+encrypted with a dummy key, without having to make any API calls.
+This tests the encrypted I/O paths more thoroughly. To do this with
+kvm-xfstests, use the "encrypt" filesystem configuration::
+
+ kvm-xfstests -c ext4/encrypt,f2fs/encrypt -g auto
+
+Because this runs many more tests than "-g encrypt" does, it takes
+much longer to run; so also consider using `gce-xfstests
+<https://github.com/tytso/xfstests-bld/blob/master/Documentation/gce-xfstests.md>`_
+instead of kvm-xfstests::
+
+ gce-xfstests -c ext4/encrypt,f2fs/encrypt -g auto

+Overview of the Linux Virtual File System

+Introduction
+============
+
+The Virtual File System (also known as the Virtual Filesystem Switch) is
+the software layer in the kernel that provides the filesystem interface
+to userspace programs. It also provides an abstraction within the
+kernel which allows different filesystem implementations to coexist.
+
+VFS system calls open(2), stat(2), read(2), write(2), chmod(2) and so on
+are called from a process context. Filesystem locking is described in
+the document Documentation/filesystems/Locking.
+
+
+Directory Entry Cache (dcache)
+------------------------------
+
+The VFS implements the open(2), stat(2), chmod(2), and similar system
+calls. The pathname argument that is passed to them is used by the VFS
+to search through the directory entry cache (also known as the dentry
+cache or dcache). This provides a very fast look-up mechanism to
+translate a pathname (filename) into a specific dentry. Dentries live
+in RAM and are never saved to disc: they exist only for performance.
+
+The dentry cache is meant to be a view into your entire filespace. As
+most computers cannot fit all dentries in the RAM at the same time, some
+bits of the cache are missing. In order to resolve your pathname into a
+dentry, the VFS may have to resort to creating dentries along the way,
+and then loading the inode. This is done by looking up the inode.
+
+
+The Inode Object
+----------------
+
+An individual dentry usually has a pointer to an inode. Inodes are
+filesystem objects such as regular files, directories, FIFOs and other
+beasts. They live either on the disc (for block device filesystems) or
+in the memory (for pseudo filesystems). Inodes that live on the disc
+are copied into the memory when required and changes to the inode are
+written back to disc. A single inode can be pointed to by multiple
+dentries (hard links, for example, do this).
+
+To look up an inode requires that the VFS calls the lookup() method of
+the parent directory inode. This method is installed by the specific
+filesystem implementation that the inode lives in. Once the VFS has the
+required dentry (and hence the inode), we can do all those boring things
+like open(2) the file, or stat(2) it to peek at the inode data. The
+stat(2) operation is fairly simple: once the VFS has the dentry, it
+peeks at the inode data and passes some of it back to userspace.
+
+
+The File Object
+---------------
+
+Opening a file requires another operation: allocation of a file
+structure (this is the kernel-side implementation of file descriptors).
+The freshly allocated file structure is initialized with a pointer to
+the dentry and a set of file operation member functions. These are
+taken from the inode data. The open() file method is then called so the
+specific filesystem implementation can do its work. You can see that
+this is another switch performed by the VFS. The file structure is
+placed into the file descriptor table for the process.
+
+Reading, writing and closing files (and other assorted VFS operations)
+is done by using the userspace file descriptor to grab the appropriate
+file structure, and then calling the required file structure method to
+do whatever is required. For as long as the file is open, it keeps the
+dentry in use, which in turn means that the VFS inode is still in use.
+
+
+Registering and Mounting a Filesystem
+=====================================
+
+To register and unregister a filesystem, use the following API
+functions:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <linux/fs.h>
+
+ extern int register_filesystem(struct file_system_type *);
+ extern int unregister_filesystem(struct file_system_type *);
+
+The passed struct file_system_type describes your filesystem. When a
+request is made to mount a filesystem onto a directory in your
+namespace, the VFS will call the appropriate mount() method for the
+specific filesystem. New vfsmount referring to the tree returned by
+->mount() will be attached to the mountpoint, so that when pathname
+resolution reaches the mountpoint it will jump into the root of that
+vfsmount.
+
+You can see all filesystems that are registered to the kernel in the
+file /proc/filesystems.
+
+
+struct file_system_type
+-----------------------
+
+This describes the filesystem. As of kernel 2.6.39, the following
+members are defined:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct file_system_operations {
+ const char *name;
+ int fs_flags;
+ struct dentry *(*mount) (struct file_system_type *, int,
+ const char *, void *);
+ void (*kill_sb) (struct super_block *);
+ struct module *owner;
+ struct file_system_type * next;
+ struct list_head fs_supers;
+ struct lock_class_key s_lock_key;
+ struct lock_class_key s_umount_key;
+ };
+
+``name``
+ the name of the filesystem type, such as "ext2", "iso9660",
+ "msdos" and so on
+
+``fs_flags``
+ various flags (i.e. FS_REQUIRES_DEV, FS_NO_DCACHE, etc.)
+
+``mount``
+ the method to call when a new instance of this filesystem should
+ be mounted
+
+``kill_sb``
+ the method to call when an instance of this filesystem should be
+ shut down
+
+
+``owner``
+ for internal VFS use: you should initialize this to THIS_MODULE
+ in most cases.
+
+``next``
+ for internal VFS use: you should initialize this to NULL
+
+ s_lock_key, s_umount_key: lockdep-specific
+
+The mount() method has the following arguments:
+
+``struct file_system_type *fs_type``
+ describes the filesystem, partly initialized by the specific
+ filesystem code
+
+``int flags``
+ mount flags
+
+``const char *dev_name``
+ the device name we are mounting.
+
+``void *data``
+ arbitrary mount options, usually comes as an ASCII string (see
+ "Mount Options" section)
+
+The mount() method must return the root dentry of the tree requested by
+caller. An active reference to its superblock must be grabbed and the
+superblock must be locked. On failure it should return ERR_PTR(error).
+
+The arguments match those of mount(2) and their interpretation depends
+on filesystem type. E.g. for block filesystems, dev_name is interpreted
+as block device name, that device is opened and if it contains a
+suitable filesystem image the method creates and initializes struct
+super_block accordingly, returning its root dentry to caller.
+
+->mount() may choose to return a subtree of existing filesystem - it
+doesn't have to create a new one. The main result from the caller's
+point of view is a reference to dentry at the root of (sub)tree to be
+attached; creation of new superblock is a common side effect.
+
+The most interesting member of the superblock structure that the mount()
+method fills in is the "s_op" field. This is a pointer to a "struct
+super_operations" which describes the next level of the filesystem
+implementation.
+
+Usually, a filesystem uses one of the generic mount() implementations
+and provides a fill_super() callback instead. The generic variants are:
+
+``mount_bdev``
+ mount a filesystem residing on a block device
+
+``mount_nodev``
+ mount a filesystem that is not backed by a device
+
+``mount_single``
+ mount a filesystem which shares the instance between all mounts
+
+A fill_super() callback implementation has the following arguments:
+
+``struct super_block *sb``
+ the superblock structure. The callback must initialize this
+ properly.
+
+``void *data``
+ arbitrary mount options, usually comes as an ASCII string (see
+ "Mount Options" section)
+
+``int silent``
+ whether or not to be silent on error
+
+
+The Superblock Object
+=====================
+
+A superblock object represents a mounted filesystem.
+
+
+struct super_operations
+-----------------------
+
+This describes how the VFS can manipulate the superblock of your
+filesystem. As of kernel 2.6.22, the following members are defined:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct super_operations {
+ struct inode *(*alloc_inode)(struct super_block *sb);
+ void (*destroy_inode)(struct inode *);
+
+ void (*dirty_inode) (struct inode *, int flags);
+ int (*write_inode) (struct inode *, int);
+ void (*drop_inode) (struct inode *);
+ void (*delete_inode) (struct inode *);
+ void (*put_super) (struct super_block *);
+ int (*sync_fs)(struct super_block *sb, int wait);
+ int (*freeze_fs) (struct super_block *);
+ int (*unfreeze_fs) (struct super_block *);
+ int (*statfs) (struct dentry *, struct kstatfs *);
+ int (*remount_fs) (struct super_block *, int *, char *);
+ void (*clear_inode) (struct inode *);
+ void (*umount_begin) (struct super_block *);
+
+ int (*show_options)(struct seq_file *, struct dentry *);
+
+ ssize_t (*quota_read)(struct super_block *, int, char *, size_t, loff_t);
+ ssize_t (*quota_write)(struct super_block *, int, const char *, size_t, loff_t);
+ int (*nr_cached_objects)(struct super_block *);
+ void (*free_cached_objects)(struct super_block *, int);
+ };
+
+All methods are called without any locks being held, unless otherwise
+noted. This means that most methods can block safely. All methods are
+only called from a process context (i.e. not from an interrupt handler
+or bottom half).
+
+``alloc_inode``
+ this method is called by alloc_inode() to allocate memory for
+ struct inode and initialize it. If this function is not
+ defined, a simple 'struct inode' is allocated. Normally
+ alloc_inode will be used to allocate a larger structure which
+ contains a 'struct inode' embedded within it.
+
+``destroy_inode``
+ this method is called by destroy_inode() to release resources
+ allocated for struct inode. It is only required if
+ ->alloc_inode was defined and simply undoes anything done by
+ ->alloc_inode.
+
+``dirty_inode``
+ this method is called by the VFS to mark an inode dirty.
+
+``write_inode``
+ this method is called when the VFS needs to write an inode to
+ disc. The second parameter indicates whether the write should
+ be synchronous or not, not all filesystems check this flag.
+
+``drop_inode``
+ called when the last access to the inode is dropped, with the
+ inode->i_lock spinlock held.
+
+ This method should be either NULL (normal UNIX filesystem
+ semantics) or "generic_delete_inode" (for filesystems that do
+ not want to cache inodes - causing "delete_inode" to always be
+ called regardless of the value of i_nlink)
+
+ The "generic_delete_inode()" behavior is equivalent to the old
+ practice of using "force_delete" in the put_inode() case, but
+ does not have the races that the "force_delete()" approach had.
+
+``delete_inode``
+ called when the VFS wants to delete an inode
+
+``put_super``
+ called when the VFS wishes to free the superblock
+ (i.e. unmount). This is called with the superblock lock held
+
+``sync_fs``
+ called when VFS is writing out all dirty data associated with a
+ superblock. The second parameter indicates whether the method
+ should wait until the write out has been completed. Optional.
+
+``freeze_fs``
+ called when VFS is locking a filesystem and forcing it into a
+ consistent state. This method is currently used by the Logical
+ Volume Manager (LVM).
+
+``unfreeze_fs``
+ called when VFS is unlocking a filesystem and making it writable
+ again.
+
+``statfs``
+ called when the VFS needs to get filesystem statistics.
+
+``remount_fs``
+ called when the filesystem is remounted. This is called with
+ the kernel lock held
+
+``clear_inode``
+ called then the VFS clears the inode. Optional
+
+``umount_begin``
+ called when the VFS is unmounting a filesystem.
+
+``show_options``
+ called by the VFS to show mount options for /proc/<pid>/mounts.
+ (see "Mount Options" section)
+
+``quota_read``
+ called by the VFS to read from filesystem quota file.
+
+``quota_write``
+ called by the VFS to write to filesystem quota file.
+
+``nr_cached_objects``
+ called by the sb cache shrinking function for the filesystem to
+ return the number of freeable cached objects it contains.
+ Optional.
+
+``free_cache_objects``
+ called by the sb cache shrinking function for the filesystem to
+ scan the number of objects indicated to try to free them.
+ Optional, but any filesystem implementing this method needs to
+ also implement ->nr_cached_objects for it to be called
+ correctly.
+
+ We can't do anything with any errors that the filesystem might
+ encountered, hence the void return type. This will never be
+ called if the VM is trying to reclaim under GFP_NOFS conditions,
+ hence this method does not need to handle that situation itself.
+
+ Implementations must include conditional reschedule calls inside
+ any scanning loop that is done. This allows the VFS to
+ determine appropriate scan batch sizes without having to worry
+ about whether implementations will cause holdoff problems due to
+ large scan batch sizes.
+
+Whoever sets up the inode is responsible for filling in the "i_op"
+field. This is a pointer to a "struct inode_operations" which describes
+the methods that can be performed on individual inodes.
+
+
+struct xattr_handlers
+---------------------
+
+On filesystems that support extended attributes (xattrs), the s_xattr
+superblock field points to a NULL-terminated array of xattr handlers.
+Extended attributes are name:value pairs.
+
+``name``
+ Indicates that the handler matches attributes with the specified
+ name (such as "system.posix_acl_access"); the prefix field must
+ be NULL.
+
+``prefix``
+ Indicates that the handler matches all attributes with the
+ specified name prefix (such as "user."); the name field must be
+ NULL.
+
+``list``
+ Determine if attributes matching this xattr handler should be
+ listed for a particular dentry. Used by some listxattr
+ implementations like generic_listxattr.
+
+``get``
+ Called by the VFS to get the value of a particular extended
+ attribute. This method is called by the getxattr(2) system
+ call.
+
+``set``
+ Called by the VFS to set the value of a particular extended
+ attribute. When the new value is NULL, called to remove a
+ particular extended attribute. This method is called by the the
+ setxattr(2) and removexattr(2) system calls.
+
+When none of the xattr handlers of a filesystem match the specified
+attribute name or when a filesystem doesn't support extended attributes,
+the various ``*xattr(2)`` system calls return -EOPNOTSUPP.
+
+
+The Inode Object
+================
+
+An inode object represents an object within the filesystem.
+
+
+struct inode_operations
+-----------------------
+
+This describes how the VFS can manipulate an inode in your filesystem.
+As of kernel 2.6.22, the following members are defined:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct inode_operations {
+ int (*create) (struct inode *,struct dentry *, umode_t, bool);
+ struct dentry * (*lookup) (struct inode *,struct dentry *, unsigned int);
+ int (*link) (struct dentry *,struct inode *,struct dentry *);
+ int (*unlink) (struct inode *,struct dentry *);
+ int (*symlink) (struct inode *,struct dentry *,const char *);
+ int (*mkdir) (struct inode *,struct dentry *,umode_t);
+ int (*rmdir) (struct inode *,struct dentry *);
+ int (*mknod) (struct inode *,struct dentry *,umode_t,dev_t);
+ int (*rename) (struct inode *, struct dentry *,
+ struct inode *, struct dentry *, unsigned int);
+ int (*readlink) (struct dentry *, char __user *,int);
+ const char *(*get_link) (struct dentry *, struct inode *,
+ struct delayed_call *);
+ int (*permission) (struct inode *, int);
+ int (*get_acl)(struct inode *, int);
+ int (*setattr) (struct dentry *, struct iattr *);
+ int (*getattr) (const struct path *, struct kstat *, u32, unsigned int);
+ ssize_t (*listxattr) (struct dentry *, char *, size_t);
+ void (*update_time)(struct inode *, struct timespec *, int);
+ int (*atomic_open)(struct inode *, struct dentry *, struct file *,
+ unsigned open_flag, umode_t create_mode);
+ int (*tmpfile) (struct inode *, struct dentry *, umode_t);
+ };
+
+Again, all methods are called without any locks being held, unless
+otherwise noted.
+
+``create``
+ called by the open(2) and creat(2) system calls. Only required
+ if you want to support regular files. The dentry you get should
+ not have an inode (i.e. it should be a negative dentry). Here
+ you will probably call d_instantiate() with the dentry and the
+ newly created inode
+
+``lookup``
+ called when the VFS needs to look up an inode in a parent
+ directory. The name to look for is found in the dentry. This
+ method must call d_add() to insert the found inode into the
+ dentry. The "i_count" field in the inode structure should be
+ incremented. If the named inode does not exist a NULL inode
+ should be inserted into the dentry (this is called a negative
+ dentry). Returning an error code from this routine must only be
+ done on a real error, otherwise creating inodes with system
+ calls like create(2), mknod(2), mkdir(2) and so on will fail.
+ If you wish to overload the dentry methods then you should
+ initialise the "d_dop" field in the dentry; this is a pointer to
+ a struct "dentry_operations". This method is called with the
+ directory inode semaphore held
+
+``link``
+ called by the link(2) system call. Only required if you want to
+ support hard links. You will probably need to call
+ d_instantiate() just as you would in the create() method
+
+``unlink``
+ called by the unlink(2) system call. Only required if you want
+ to support deleting inodes
+
+``symlink``
+ called by the symlink(2) system call. Only required if you want
+ to support symlinks. You will probably need to call
+ d_instantiate() just as you would in the create() method
+
+``mkdir``
+ called by the mkdir(2) system call. Only required if you want
+ to support creating subdirectories. You will probably need to
+ call d_instantiate() just as you would in the create() method
+
+``rmdir``
+ called by the rmdir(2) system call. Only required if you want
+ to support deleting subdirectories
+
+``mknod``
+ called by the mknod(2) system call to create a device (char,
+ block) inode or a named pipe (FIFO) or socket. Only required if
+ you want to support creating these types of inodes. You will
+ probably need to call d_instantiate() just as you would in the
+ create() method
+
+``rename``
+ called by the rename(2) system call to rename the object to have
+ the parent and name given by the second inode and dentry.
+
+ The filesystem must return -EINVAL for any unsupported or
+ unknown flags. Currently the following flags are implemented:
+ (1) RENAME_NOREPLACE: this flag indicates that if the target of
+ the rename exists the rename should fail with -EEXIST instead of
+ replacing the target. The VFS already checks for existence, so
+ for local filesystems the RENAME_NOREPLACE implementation is
+ equivalent to plain rename.
+ (2) RENAME_EXCHANGE: exchange source and target. Both must
+ exist; this is checked by the VFS. Unlike plain rename, source
+ and target may be of different type.
+
+``get_link``
+ called by the VFS to follow a symbolic link to the inode it
+ points to. Only required if you want to support symbolic links.
+ This method returns the symlink body to traverse (and possibly
+ resets the current position with nd_jump_link()). If the body
+ won't go away until the inode is gone, nothing else is needed;
+ if it needs to be otherwise pinned, arrange for its release by
+ having get_link(..., ..., done) do set_delayed_call(done,
+ destructor, argument). In that case destructor(argument) will
+ be called once VFS is done with the body you've returned. May
+ be called in RCU mode; that is indicated by NULL dentry
+ argument. If request can't be handled without leaving RCU mode,
+ have it return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD).
+
+ If the filesystem stores the symlink target in ->i_link, the
+ VFS may use it directly without calling ->get_link(); however,
+ ->get_link() must still be provided. ->i_link must not be
+ freed until after an RCU grace period. Writing to ->i_link
+ post-iget() time requires a 'release' memory barrier.
+
+``readlink``
+ this is now just an override for use by readlink(2) for the
+ cases when ->get_link uses nd_jump_link() or object is not in
+ fact a symlink. Normally filesystems should only implement
+ ->get_link for symlinks and readlink(2) will automatically use
+ that.
+
+``permission``
+ called by the VFS to check for access rights on a POSIX-like
+ filesystem.
+
+ May be called in rcu-walk mode (mask & MAY_NOT_BLOCK). If in
+ rcu-walk mode, the filesystem must check the permission without
+ blocking or storing to the inode.
+
+ If a situation is encountered that rcu-walk cannot handle,
+ return
+ -ECHILD and it will be called again in ref-walk mode.
+
+``setattr``
+ called by the VFS to set attributes for a file. This method is
+ called by chmod(2) and related system calls.
+
+``getattr``
+ called by the VFS to get attributes of a file. This method is
+ called by stat(2) and related system calls.
+
+``listxattr``
+ called by the VFS to list all extended attributes for a given
+ file. This method is called by the listxattr(2) system call.
+
+``update_time``
+ called by the VFS to update a specific time or the i_version of
+ an inode. If this is not defined the VFS will update the inode
+ itself and call mark_inode_dirty_sync.
+
+``atomic_open``
+ called on the last component of an open. Using this optional
+ method the filesystem can look up, possibly create and open the
+ file in one atomic operation. If it wants to leave actual
+ opening to the caller (e.g. if the file turned out to be a
+ symlink, device, or just something filesystem won't do atomic
+ open for), it may signal this by returning finish_no_open(file,
+ dentry). This method is only called if the last component is
+ negative or needs lookup. Cached positive dentries are still
+ handled by f_op->open(). If the file was created, FMODE_CREATED
+ flag should be set in file->f_mode. In case of O_EXCL the
+ method must only succeed if the file didn't exist and hence
+ FMODE_CREATED shall always be set on success.
+
+``tmpfile``
+ called in the end of O_TMPFILE open(). Optional, equivalent to
+ atomically creating, opening and unlinking a file in given
+ directory.
+
+
+The Address Space Object
+========================
+
+The address space object is used to group and manage pages in the page
+cache. It can be used to keep track of the pages in a file (or anything
+else) and also track the mapping of sections of the file into process
+address spaces.
+
+There are a number of distinct yet related services that an
+address-space can provide. These include communicating memory pressure,
+page lookup by address, and keeping track of pages tagged as Dirty or
+Writeback.
+
+The first can be used independently to the others. The VM can try to
+either write dirty pages in order to clean them, or release clean pages
+in order to reuse them. To do this it can call the ->writepage method
+on dirty pages, and ->releasepage on clean pages with PagePrivate set.
+Clean pages without PagePrivate and with no external references will be
+released without notice being given to the address_space.
+
+To achieve this functionality, pages need to be placed on an LRU with
+lru_cache_add and mark_page_active needs to be called whenever the page
+is used.
+
+Pages are normally kept in a radix tree index by ->index. This tree
+maintains information about the PG_Dirty and PG_Writeback status of each
+page, so that pages with either of these flags can be found quickly.
+
+The Dirty tag is primarily used by mpage_writepages - the default
+->writepages method. It uses the tag to find dirty pages to call
+->writepage on. If mpage_writepages is not used (i.e. the address
+provides its own ->writepages) , the PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY tag is almost
+unused. write_inode_now and sync_inode do use it (through
+__sync_single_inode) to check if ->writepages has been successful in
+writing out the whole address_space.
+
+The Writeback tag is used by filemap*wait* and sync_page* functions, via
+filemap_fdatawait_range, to wait for all writeback to complete.
+
+An address_space handler may attach extra information to a page,
+typically using the 'private' field in the 'struct page'. If such
+information is attached, the PG_Private flag should be set. This will
+cause various VM routines to make extra calls into the address_space
+handler to deal with that data.
+
+An address space acts as an intermediate between storage and
+application. Data is read into the address space a whole page at a
+time, and provided to the application either by copying of the page, or
+by memory-mapping the page. Data is written into the address space by
+the application, and then written-back to storage typically in whole
+pages, however the address_space has finer control of write sizes.
+
+The read process essentially only requires 'readpage'. The write
+process is more complicated and uses write_begin/write_end or
+set_page_dirty to write data into the address_space, and writepage and
+writepages to writeback data to storage.
+
+Adding and removing pages to/from an address_space is protected by the
+inode's i_mutex.
+
+When data is written to a page, the PG_Dirty flag should be set. It
+typically remains set until writepage asks for it to be written. This
+should clear PG_Dirty and set PG_Writeback. It can be actually written
+at any point after PG_Dirty is clear. Once it is known to be safe,
+PG_Writeback is cleared.
+
+Writeback makes use of a writeback_control structure to direct the
+operations. This gives the the writepage and writepages operations some
+information about the nature of and reason for the writeback request,
+and the constraints under which it is being done. It is also used to
+return information back to the caller about the result of a writepage or
+writepages request.
+
+
+Handling errors during writeback
+--------------------------------
+
+Most applications that do buffered I/O will periodically call a file
+synchronization call (fsync, fdatasync, msync or sync_file_range) to
+ensure that data written has made it to the backing store. When there
+is an error during writeback, they expect that error to be reported when
+a file sync request is made. After an error has been reported on one
+request, subsequent requests on the same file descriptor should return
+0, unless further writeback errors have occurred since the previous file
+syncronization.
+
+Ideally, the kernel would report errors only on file descriptions on
+which writes were done that subsequently failed to be written back. The
+generic pagecache infrastructure does not track the file descriptions
+that have dirtied each individual page however, so determining which
+file descriptors should get back an error is not possible.
+
+Instead, the generic writeback error tracking infrastructure in the
+kernel settles for reporting errors to fsync on all file descriptions
+that were open at the time that the error occurred. In a situation with
+multiple writers, all of them will get back an error on a subsequent
+fsync, even if all of the writes done through that particular file
+descriptor succeeded (or even if there were no writes on that file
+descriptor at all).
+
+Filesystems that wish to use this infrastructure should call
+mapping_set_error to record the error in the address_space when it
+occurs. Then, after writing back data from the pagecache in their
+file->fsync operation, they should call file_check_and_advance_wb_err to
+ensure that the struct file's error cursor has advanced to the correct
+point in the stream of errors emitted by the backing device(s).
+
+
+struct address_space_operations
+-------------------------------
+
+This describes how the VFS can manipulate mapping of a file to page
+cache in your filesystem. The following members are defined:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct address_space_operations {
+ int (*writepage)(struct page *page, struct writeback_control *wbc);
+ int (*readpage)(struct file *, struct page *);
+ int (*writepages)(struct address_space *, struct writeback_control *);
+ int (*set_page_dirty)(struct page *page);
+ int (*readpages)(struct file *filp, struct address_space *mapping,
+ struct list_head *pages, unsigned nr_pages);
+ int (*write_begin)(struct file *, struct address_space *mapping,
+ loff_t pos, unsigned len, unsigned flags,
+ struct page **pagep, void **fsdata);
+ int (*write_end)(struct file *, struct address_space *mapping,
+ loff_t pos, unsigned len, unsigned copied,
+ struct page *page, void *fsdata);
+ sector_t (*bmap)(struct address_space *, sector_t);
+ void (*invalidatepage) (struct page *, unsigned int, unsigned int);
+ int (*releasepage) (struct page *, int);
+ void (*freepage)(struct page *);
+ ssize_t (*direct_IO)(struct kiocb *, struct iov_iter *iter);
+ /* isolate a page for migration */
+ bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *, isolate_mode_t);
+ /* migrate the contents of a page to the specified target */
+ int (*migratepage) (struct page *, struct page *);
+ /* put migration-failed page back to right list */
+ void (*putback_page) (struct page *);
+ int (*launder_page) (struct page *);
+
+ int (*is_partially_uptodate) (struct page *, unsigned long,
+ unsigned long);
+ void (*is_dirty_writeback) (struct page *, bool *, bool *);
+ int (*error_remove_page) (struct mapping *mapping, struct page *page);
+ int (*swap_activate)(struct file *);
+ int (*swap_deactivate)(struct file *);
+ };
+
+``writepage``
+ called by the VM to write a dirty page to backing store. This
+ may happen for data integrity reasons (i.e. 'sync'), or to free
+ up memory (flush). The difference can be seen in
+ wbc->sync_mode. The PG_Dirty flag has been cleared and
+ PageLocked is true. writepage should start writeout, should set
+ PG_Writeback, and should make sure the page is unlocked, either
+ synchronously or asynchronously when the write operation
+ completes.
+
+ If wbc->sync_mode is WB_SYNC_NONE, ->writepage doesn't have to
+ try too hard if there are problems, and may choose to write out
+ other pages from the mapping if that is easier (e.g. due to
+ internal dependencies). If it chooses not to start writeout, it
+ should return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE so that the VM will not
+ keep calling ->writepage on that page.
+
+ See the file "Locking" for more details.
+
+``readpage``
+ called by the VM to read a page from backing store. The page
+ will be Locked when readpage is called, and should be unlocked
+ and marked uptodate once the read completes. If ->readpage
+ discovers that it needs to unlock the page for some reason, it
+ can do so, and then return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE. In this case,
+ the page will be relocated, relocked and if that all succeeds,
+ ->readpage will be called again.
+
+``writepages``
+ called by the VM to write out pages associated with the
+ address_space object. If wbc->sync_mode is WBC_SYNC_ALL, then
+ the writeback_control will specify a range of pages that must be
+ written out. If it is WBC_SYNC_NONE, then a nr_to_write is
+ given and that many pages should be written if possible. If no
+ ->writepages is given, then mpage_writepages is used instead.
+ This will choose pages from the address space that are tagged as
+ DIRTY and will pass them to ->writepage.
+
+``set_page_dirty``
+ called by the VM to set a page dirty. This is particularly
+ needed if an address space attaches private data to a page, and
+ that data needs to be updated when a page is dirtied. This is
+ called, for example, when a memory mapped page gets modified.
+ If defined, it should set the PageDirty flag, and the
+ PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY tag in the radix tree.
+
+``readpages``
+ called by the VM to read pages associated with the address_space
+ object. This is essentially just a vector version of readpage.
+ Instead of just one page, several pages are requested.
+ readpages is only used for read-ahead, so read errors are
+ ignored. If anything goes wrong, feel free to give up.
+
+``write_begin``
+ Called by the generic buffered write code to ask the filesystem
+ to prepare to write len bytes at the given offset in the file.
+ The address_space should check that the write will be able to
+ complete, by allocating space if necessary and doing any other
+ internal housekeeping. If the write will update parts of any
+ basic-blocks on storage, then those blocks should be pre-read
+ (if they haven't been read already) so that the updated blocks
+ can be written out properly.
+
+ The filesystem must return the locked pagecache page for the
+ specified offset, in ``*pagep``, for the caller to write into.
+
+ It must be able to cope with short writes (where the length
+ passed to write_begin is greater than the number of bytes copied
+ into the page).
+
+ flags is a field for AOP_FLAG_xxx flags, described in
+ include/linux/fs.h.
+
+ A void * may be returned in fsdata, which then gets passed into
+ write_end.
+
+ Returns 0 on success; < 0 on failure (which is the error code),
+ in which case write_end is not called.
+
+``write_end``
+ After a successful write_begin, and data copy, write_end must be
+ called. len is the original len passed to write_begin, and
+ copied is the amount that was able to be copied.
+
+ The filesystem must take care of unlocking the page and
+ releasing it refcount, and updating i_size.
+
+ Returns < 0 on failure, otherwise the number of bytes (<=
+ 'copied') that were able to be copied into pagecache.
+
+``bmap``
+ called by the VFS to map a logical block offset within object to
+ physical block number. This method is used by the FIBMAP ioctl
+ and for working with swap-files. To be able to swap to a file,
+ the file must have a stable mapping to a block device. The swap
+ system does not go through the filesystem but instead uses bmap
+ to find out where the blocks in the file are and uses those
+ addresses directly.
+
+``invalidatepage``
+ If a page has PagePrivate set, then invalidatepage will be
+ called when part or all of the page is to be removed from the
+ address space. This generally corresponds to either a
+ truncation, punch hole or a complete invalidation of the address
+ space (in the latter case 'offset' will always be 0 and 'length'
+ will be PAGE_SIZE). Any private data associated with the page
+ should be updated to reflect this truncation. If offset is 0
+ and length is PAGE_SIZE, then the private data should be
+ released, because the page must be able to be completely
+ discarded. This may be done by calling the ->releasepage
+ function, but in this case the release MUST succeed.
+
+``releasepage``
+ releasepage is called on PagePrivate pages to indicate that the
+ page should be freed if possible. ->releasepage should remove
+ any private data from the page and clear the PagePrivate flag.
+ If releasepage() fails for some reason, it must indicate failure
+ with a 0 return value. releasepage() is used in two distinct
+ though related cases. The first is when the VM finds a clean
+ page with no active users and wants to make it a free page. If
+ ->releasepage succeeds, the page will be removed from the
+ address_space and become free.
+
+ The second case is when a request has been made to invalidate
+ some or all pages in an address_space. This can happen through
+ the fadvise(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) system call or by the
+ filesystem explicitly requesting it as nfs and 9fs do (when they
+ believe the cache may be out of date with storage) by calling
+ invalidate_inode_pages2(). If the filesystem makes such a call,
+ and needs to be certain that all pages are invalidated, then its
+ releasepage will need to ensure this. Possibly it can clear the
+ PageUptodate bit if it cannot free private data yet.
+
+``freepage``
+ freepage is called once the page is no longer visible in the
+ page cache in order to allow the cleanup of any private data.
+ Since it may be called by the memory reclaimer, it should not
+ assume that the original address_space mapping still exists, and
+ it should not block.
+
+``direct_IO``
+ called by the generic read/write routines to perform direct_IO -
+ that is IO requests which bypass the page cache and transfer
+ data directly between the storage and the application's address
+ space.
+
+``isolate_page``
+ Called by the VM when isolating a movable non-lru page. If page
+ is successfully isolated, VM marks the page as PG_isolated via
+ __SetPageIsolated.
+
+``migrate_page``
+ This is used to compact the physical memory usage. If the VM
+ wants to relocate a page (maybe off a memory card that is
+ signalling imminent failure) it will pass a new page and an old
+ page to this function. migrate_page should transfer any private
+ data across and update any references that it has to the page.
+
+``putback_page``
+ Called by the VM when isolated page's migration fails.
+
+``launder_page``
+ Called before freeing a page - it writes back the dirty page.
+ To prevent redirtying the page, it is kept locked during the
+ whole operation.
+
+``is_partially_uptodate``
+ Called by the VM when reading a file through the pagecache when
+ the underlying blocksize != pagesize. If the required block is
+ up to date then the read can complete without needing the IO to
+ bring the whole page up to date.
+
+``is_dirty_writeback``
+ Called by the VM when attempting to reclaim a page. The VM uses
+ dirty and writeback information to determine if it needs to
+ stall to allow flushers a chance to complete some IO.
+ Ordinarily it can use PageDirty and PageWriteback but some
+ filesystems have more complex state (unstable pages in NFS
+ prevent reclaim) or do not set those flags due to locking
+ problems. This callback allows a filesystem to indicate to the
+ VM if a page should be treated as dirty or writeback for the
+ purposes of stalling.
+
+``error_remove_page``
+ normally set to generic_error_remove_page if truncation is ok
+ for this address space. Used for memory failure handling.
+ Setting this implies you deal with pages going away under you,
+ unless you have them locked or reference counts increased.
+
+``swap_activate``
+ Called when swapon is used on a file to allocate space if
+ necessary and pin the block lookup information in memory. A
+ return value of zero indicates success, in which case this file
+ can be used to back swapspace.
+
+``swap_deactivate``
+ Called during swapoff on files where swap_activate was
+ successful.
+
+
+The File Object
+===============
+
+A file object represents a file opened by a process. This is also known
+as an "open file description" in POSIX parlance.
+
+
+struct file_operations
+----------------------
+
+This describes how the VFS can manipulate an open file. As of kernel
+4.18, the following members are defined:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct file_operations {
+ struct module *owner;
+ loff_t (*llseek) (struct file *, loff_t, int);
+ ssize_t (*read) (struct file *, char __user *, size_t, loff_t *);
+ ssize_t (*write) (struct file *, const char __user *, size_t, loff_t *);
+ ssize_t (*read_iter) (struct kiocb *, struct iov_iter *);
+ ssize_t (*write_iter) (struct kiocb *, struct iov_iter *);
+ int (*iopoll)(struct kiocb *kiocb, bool spin);
+ int (*iterate) (struct file *, struct dir_context *);

+ __poll_t (*poll) (struct file *, struct poll_table_struct *);
+ long (*unlocked_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long);
+ long (*compat_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long);
+ int (*mmap) (struct file *, struct vm_area_struct *);
+ int (*open) (struct inode *, struct file *);
+ int (*flush) (struct file *, fl_owner_t id);
+ int (*release) (struct inode *, struct file *);
+ int (*fsync) (struct file *, loff_t, loff_t, int datasync);
+ int (*fasync) (int, struct file *, int);
+ int (*lock) (struct file *, int, struct file_lock *);
+ ssize_t (*sendpage) (struct file *, struct page *, int, size_t, loff_t *, int);
+ unsigned long (*get_unmapped_area)(struct file *, unsigned long, unsigned long, unsigned long, unsigned long);
+ int (*check_flags)(int);
+ int (*flock) (struct file *, int, struct file_lock *);
+ ssize_t (*splice_write)(struct pipe_inode_info *, struct file *, loff_t *, size_t, unsigned int);
+ ssize_t (*splice_read)(struct file *, loff_t *, struct pipe_inode_info *, size_t, unsigned int);
+ int (*setlease)(struct file *, long, struct file_lock **, void **);
+ long (*fallocate)(struct file *file, int mode, loff_t offset,
+ loff_t len);
+ void (*show_fdinfo)(struct seq_file *m, struct file *f);
+ #ifndef CONFIG_MMU
+ unsigned (*mmap_capabilities)(struct file *);
+ #endif
+ ssize_t (*copy_file_range)(struct file *, loff_t, struct file *, loff_t, size_t, unsigned int);
+ loff_t (*remap_file_range)(struct file *file_in, loff_t pos_in,
+ struct file *file_out, loff_t pos_out,
+ loff_t len, unsigned int remap_flags);
+ int (*fadvise)(struct file *, loff_t, loff_t, int);
+ };
+
+Again, all methods are called without any locks being held, unless
+otherwise noted.
+
+``llseek``
+ called when the VFS needs to move the file position index
+
+``read``
+ called by read(2) and related system calls
+
+``read_iter``
+ possibly asynchronous read with iov_iter as destination
+
+``write``
+ called by write(2) and related system calls
+
+``write_iter``
+ possibly asynchronous write with iov_iter as source
+
+``iopoll``
+ called when aio wants to poll for completions on HIPRI iocbs
+
+``iterate``
+ called when the VFS needs to read the directory contents
+
+``iterate_shared``
+ called when the VFS needs to read the directory contents when
+ filesystem supports concurrent dir iterators
+
+``poll``
+ called by the VFS when a process wants to check if there is
+ activity on this file and (optionally) go to sleep until there
+ is activity. Called by the select(2) and poll(2) system calls
+
+``unlocked_ioctl``
+ called by the ioctl(2) system call.
+
+``compat_ioctl``
+ called by the ioctl(2) system call when 32 bit system calls are
+ used on 64 bit kernels.
+
+``mmap``
+ called by the mmap(2) system call
+
+``open``
+ called by the VFS when an inode should be opened. When the VFS
+ opens a file, it creates a new "struct file". It then calls the
+ open method for the newly allocated file structure. You might
+ think that the open method really belongs in "struct
+ inode_operations", and you may be right. I think it's done the
+ way it is because it makes filesystems simpler to implement.
+ The open() method is a good place to initialize the
+ "private_data" member in the file structure if you want to point
+ to a device structure
+
+``flush``
+ called by the close(2) system call to flush a file
+
+``release``
+ called when the last reference to an open file is closed
+
+``fsync``
+ called by the fsync(2) system call. Also see the section above
+ entitled "Handling errors during writeback".
+
+``fasync``
+ called by the fcntl(2) system call when asynchronous
+ (non-blocking) mode is enabled for a file
+
+``lock``
+ called by the fcntl(2) system call for F_GETLK, F_SETLK, and
+ F_SETLKW commands
+
+``get_unmapped_area``
+ called by the mmap(2) system call
+
+``check_flags``
+ called by the fcntl(2) system call for F_SETFL command
+
+``flock``
+ called by the flock(2) system call
+
+``splice_write``
+ called by the VFS to splice data from a pipe to a file. This
+ method is used by the splice(2) system call
+
+``splice_read``
+ called by the VFS to splice data from file to a pipe. This
+ method is used by the splice(2) system call
+
+``setlease``
+ called by the VFS to set or release a file lock lease. setlease
+ implementations should call generic_setlease to record or remove
+ the lease in the inode after setting it.
+
+``fallocate``
+ called by the VFS to preallocate blocks or punch a hole.
+
+``copy_file_range``
+ called by the copy_file_range(2) system call.
+
+``remap_file_range``
+ called by the ioctl(2) system call for FICLONERANGE and FICLONE
+ and FIDEDUPERANGE commands to remap file ranges. An
+ implementation should remap len bytes at pos_in of the source
+ file into the dest file at pos_out. Implementations must handle
+ callers passing in len == 0; this means "remap to the end of the
+ source file". The return value should the number of bytes
+ remapped, or the usual negative error code if errors occurred
+ before any bytes were remapped. The remap_flags parameter
+ accepts REMAP_FILE_* flags. If REMAP_FILE_DEDUP is set then the
+ implementation must only remap if the requested file ranges have
+ identical contents. If REMAP_CAN_SHORTEN is set, the caller is
+ ok with the implementation shortening the request length to
+ satisfy alignment or EOF requirements (or any other reason).
+
+``fadvise``
+ possibly called by the fadvise64() system call.
+
+Note that the file operations are implemented by the specific
+filesystem in which the inode resides. When opening a device node
+(character or block special) most filesystems will call special
+support routines in the VFS which will locate the required device
+driver information. These support routines replace the filesystem file
+operations with those for the device driver, and then proceed to call
+the new open() method for the file. This is how opening a device file
+in the filesystem eventually ends up calling the device driver open()
+method.
+
+
+Directory Entry Cache (dcache)
+==============================
+
+
+struct dentry_operations
+------------------------
+
+This describes how a filesystem can overload the standard dentry
+operations. Dentries and the dcache are the domain of the VFS and the
+individual filesystem implementations. Device drivers have no business
+here. These methods may be set to NULL, as they are either optional or
+the VFS uses a default. As of kernel 2.6.22, the following members are
+defined:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct dentry_operations {
+ int (*d_revalidate)(struct dentry *, unsigned int);
+ int (*d_weak_revalidate)(struct dentry *, unsigned int);
+ int (*d_hash)(const struct dentry *, struct qstr *);
+ int (*d_compare)(const struct dentry *,
+ unsigned int, const char *, const struct qstr *);
+ int (*d_delete)(const struct dentry *);
+ int (*d_init)(struct dentry *);
+ void (*d_release)(struct dentry *);
+ void (*d_iput)(struct dentry *, struct inode *);
+ char *(*d_dname)(struct dentry *, char *, int);
+ struct vfsmount *(*d_automount)(struct path *);
+ int (*d_manage)(const struct path *, bool);
+ struct dentry *(*d_real)(struct dentry *, const struct inode *);
+ };
+
+``d_revalidate``
+ called when the VFS needs to revalidate a dentry. This is
+ called whenever a name look-up finds a dentry in the dcache.
+ Most local filesystems leave this as NULL, because all their
+ dentries in the dcache are valid. Network filesystems are
+ different since things can change on the server without the
+ client necessarily being aware of it.
+
+ This function should return a positive value if the dentry is
+ still valid, and zero or a negative error code if it isn't.
+
+ d_revalidate may be called in rcu-walk mode (flags &
+ LOOKUP_RCU). If in rcu-walk mode, the filesystem must
+ revalidate the dentry without blocking or storing to the dentry,
+ d_parent and d_inode should not be used without care (because
+ they can change and, in d_inode case, even become NULL under
+ us).
+
+ If a situation is encountered that rcu-walk cannot handle,
+ return
+ -ECHILD and it will be called again in ref-walk mode.
+
+``_weak_revalidate``
+ called when the VFS needs to revalidate a "jumped" dentry. This
+ is called when a path-walk ends at dentry that was not acquired
+ by doing a lookup in the parent directory. This includes "/",
+ "." and "..", as well as procfs-style symlinks and mountpoint
+ traversal.
+
+ In this case, we are less concerned with whether the dentry is
+ still fully correct, but rather that the inode is still valid.
+ As with d_revalidate, most local filesystems will set this to
+ NULL since their dcache entries are always valid.
+
+ This function has the same return code semantics as
+ d_revalidate.
+
+ d_weak_revalidate is only called after leaving rcu-walk mode.
+
+``d_hash``
+ called when the VFS adds a dentry to the hash table. The first
+ dentry passed to d_hash is the parent directory that the name is
+ to be hashed into.
+
+ Same locking and synchronisation rules as d_compare regarding
+ what is safe to dereference etc.
+
+``d_compare``
+ called to compare a dentry name with a given name. The first
+ dentry is the parent of the dentry to be compared, the second is
+ the child dentry. len and name string are properties of the
+ dentry to be compared. qstr is the name to compare it with.
+
+ Must be constant and idempotent, and should not take locks if
+ possible, and should not or store into the dentry. Should not
+ dereference pointers outside the dentry without lots of care
+ (eg. d_parent, d_inode, d_name should not be used).
+
+ However, our vfsmount is pinned, and RCU held, so the dentries
+ and inodes won't disappear, neither will our sb or filesystem
+ module. ->d_sb may be used.
+
+ It is a tricky calling convention because it needs to be called
+ under "rcu-walk", ie. without any locks or references on things.
+
+``d_delete``
+ called when the last reference to a dentry is dropped and the
+ dcache is deciding whether or not to cache it. Return 1 to
+ delete immediately, or 0 to cache the dentry. Default is NULL
+ which means to always cache a reachable dentry. d_delete must
+ be constant and idempotent.
+
+``d_init``
+ called when a dentry is allocated
+
+``d_release``
+ called when a dentry is really deallocated
+
+``d_iput``
+ called when a dentry loses its inode (just prior to its being
+ deallocated). The default when this is NULL is that the VFS
+ calls iput(). If you define this method, you must call iput()
+ yourself
+
+``d_dname``
+ called when the pathname of a dentry should be generated.
+ Useful for some pseudo filesystems (sockfs, pipefs, ...) to
+ delay pathname generation. (Instead of doing it when dentry is
+ created, it's done only when the path is needed.). Real
+ filesystems probably dont want to use it, because their dentries
+ are present in global dcache hash, so their hash should be an
+ invariant. As no lock is held, d_dname() should not try to
+ modify the dentry itself, unless appropriate SMP safety is used.
+ CAUTION : d_path() logic is quite tricky. The correct way to
+ return for example "Hello" is to put it at the end of the
+ buffer, and returns a pointer to the first char.
+ dynamic_dname() helper function is provided to take care of
+ this.
+
+ Example :
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static char *pipefs_dname(struct dentry *dent, char *buffer, int buflen)
+ {
+ return dynamic_dname(dentry, buffer, buflen, "pipe:[%lu]",
+ dentry->d_inode->i_ino);
+ }
+
+``d_automount``
+ called when an automount dentry is to be traversed (optional).
+ This should create a new VFS mount record and return the record
+ to the caller. The caller is supplied with a path parameter
+ giving the automount directory to describe the automount target
+ and the parent VFS mount record to provide inheritable mount
+ parameters. NULL should be returned if someone else managed to
+ make the automount first. If the vfsmount creation failed, then
+ an error code should be returned. If -EISDIR is returned, then
+ the directory will be treated as an ordinary directory and
+ returned to pathwalk to continue walking.
+
+ If a vfsmount is returned, the caller will attempt to mount it
+ on the mountpoint and will remove the vfsmount from its
+ expiration list in the case of failure. The vfsmount should be
+ returned with 2 refs on it to prevent automatic expiration - the
+ caller will clean up the additional ref.
+
+ This function is only used if DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT is set on
+ the dentry. This is set by __d_instantiate() if S_AUTOMOUNT is
+ set on the inode being added.
+
+``d_manage``
+ called to allow the filesystem to manage the transition from a
+ dentry (optional). This allows autofs, for example, to hold up
+ clients waiting to explore behind a 'mountpoint' while letting
+ the daemon go past and construct the subtree there. 0 should be
+ returned to let the calling process continue. -EISDIR can be
+ returned to tell pathwalk to use this directory as an ordinary
+ directory and to ignore anything mounted on it and not to check
+ the automount flag. Any other error code will abort pathwalk
+ completely.
+
+ If the 'rcu_walk' parameter is true, then the caller is doing a
+ pathwalk in RCU-walk mode. Sleeping is not permitted in this
+ mode, and the caller can be asked to leave it and call again by
+ returning -ECHILD. -EISDIR may also be returned to tell
+ pathwalk to ignore d_automount or any mounts.
+
+ This function is only used if DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT is set on
+ the dentry being transited from.
+
+``d_real``
+ overlay/union type filesystems implement this method to return
+ one of the underlying dentries hidden by the overlay. It is
+ used in two different modes:
+
+ Called from file_dentry() it returns the real dentry matching
+ the inode argument. The real dentry may be from a lower layer
+ already copied up, but still referenced from the file. This
+ mode is selected with a non-NULL inode argument.
+
+ With NULL inode the topmost real underlying dentry is returned.
+
+Each dentry has a pointer to its parent dentry, as well as a hash list
+of child dentries. Child dentries are basically like files in a
+directory.
+
+
+Directory Entry Cache API
+--------------------------
+
+There are a number of functions defined which permit a filesystem to
+manipulate dentries:
+
+``dget``
+ open a new handle for an existing dentry (this just increments
+ the usage count)
+
+``dput``
+ close a handle for a dentry (decrements the usage count). If
+ the usage count drops to 0, and the dentry is still in its
+ parent's hash, the "d_delete" method is called to check whether
+ it should be cached. If it should not be cached, or if the
+ dentry is not hashed, it is deleted. Otherwise cached dentries
+ are put into an LRU list to be reclaimed on memory shortage.
+
+``d_drop``
+ this unhashes a dentry from its parents hash list. A subsequent
+ call to dput() will deallocate the dentry if its usage count
+ drops to 0
+
+``d_delete``
+ delete a dentry. If there are no other open references to the
+ dentry then the dentry is turned into a negative dentry (the
+ d_iput() method is called). If there are other references, then
+ d_drop() is called instead
+
+``d_add``
+ add a dentry to its parents hash list and then calls
+ d_instantiate()
+
+``d_instantiate``
+ add a dentry to the alias hash list for the inode and updates
+ the "d_inode" member. The "i_count" member in the inode
+ structure should be set/incremented. If the inode pointer is
+ NULL, the dentry is called a "negative dentry". This function
+ is commonly called when an inode is created for an existing
+ negative dentry
+
+``d_lookup``
+ look up a dentry given its parent and path name component It
+ looks up the child of that given name from the dcache hash
+ table. If it is found, the reference count is incremented and
+ the dentry is returned. The caller must use dput() to free the
+ dentry when it finishes using it.
+
+
+Mount Options
+=============
+
+
+Parsing options
+---------------
+
+On mount and remount the filesystem is passed a string containing a
+comma separated list of mount options. The options can have either of
+these forms:
+
+ option
+ option=value
+
+The <linux/parser.h> header defines an API that helps parse these
+options. There are plenty of examples on how to use it in existing
+filesystems.
+
+
+Showing options
+---------------
+
+If a filesystem accepts mount options, it must define show_options() to
+show all the currently active options. The rules are:
+
+ - options MUST be shown which are not default or their values differ
+ from the default
+
+ - options MAY be shown which are enabled by default or have their
+ default value
+
+Options used only internally between a mount helper and the kernel (such
+as file descriptors), or which only have an effect during the mounting
+(such as ones controlling the creation of a journal) are exempt from the
+above rules.
+
+The underlying reason for the above rules is to make sure, that a mount
+can be accurately replicated (e.g. umounting and mounting again) based
+on the information found in /proc/mounts.

-Introduction
-============
-
-The Virtual File System (also known as the Virtual Filesystem Switch)
-is the software layer in the kernel that provides the filesystem
-interface to userspace programs. It also provides an abstraction
-within the kernel which allows different filesystem implementations to
-coexist.
-
-VFS system calls open(2), stat(2), read(2), write(2), chmod(2) and so
-on are called from a process context. Filesystem locking is described
-in the document Documentation/filesystems/Locking.
-
-
-Directory Entry Cache (dcache)
-------------------------------
-
-The VFS implements the open(2), stat(2), chmod(2), and similar system
-calls. The pathname argument that is passed to them is used by the VFS
-to search through the directory entry cache (also known as the dentry
-cache or dcache). This provides a very fast look-up mechanism to
-translate a pathname (filename) into a specific dentry. Dentries live
-in RAM and are never saved to disc: they exist only for performance.
-
-The dentry cache is meant to be a view into your entire filespace. As
-most computers cannot fit all dentries in the RAM at the same time,
-some bits of the cache are missing. In order to resolve your pathname
-into a dentry, the VFS may have to resort to creating dentries along
-the way, and then loading the inode. This is done by looking up the
-inode.
-
-
-The Inode Object
-----------------
-
-An individual dentry usually has a pointer to an inode. Inodes are
-filesystem objects such as regular files, directories, FIFOs and other
-beasts. They live either on the disc (for block device filesystems)
-or in the memory (for pseudo filesystems). Inodes that live on the
-disc are copied into the memory when required and changes to the inode
-are written back to disc. A single inode can be pointed to by multiple
-dentries (hard links, for example, do this).
-
-To look up an inode requires that the VFS calls the lookup() method of
-the parent directory inode. This method is installed by the specific
-filesystem implementation that the inode lives in. Once the VFS has
-the required dentry (and hence the inode), we can do all those boring
-things like open(2) the file, or stat(2) it to peek at the inode
-data. The stat(2) operation is fairly simple: once the VFS has the
-dentry, it peeks at the inode data and passes some of it back to
-userspace.
-
-
-The File Object
----------------
-
-Opening a file requires another operation: allocation of a file
-structure (this is the kernel-side implementation of file
-descriptors). The freshly allocated file structure is initialized with
-a pointer to the dentry and a set of file operation member functions.
-These are taken from the inode data. The open() file method is then
-called so the specific filesystem implementation can do its work. You
-can see that this is another switch performed by the VFS. The file
-structure is placed into the file descriptor table for the process.
-
-Reading, writing and closing files (and other assorted VFS operations)
-is done by using the userspace file descriptor to grab the appropriate
-file structure, and then calling the required file structure method to
-do whatever is required. For as long as the file is open, it keeps the
-dentry in use, which in turn means that the VFS inode is still in use.
-
-
-Registering and Mounting a Filesystem
-=====================================
-
-To register and unregister a filesystem, use the following API
-functions:
-
- #include <linux/fs.h>
-
- extern int register_filesystem(struct file_system_type *);
- extern int unregister_filesystem(struct file_system_type *);
-
-The passed struct file_system_type describes your filesystem. When a
-request is made to mount a filesystem onto a directory in your namespace,
-the VFS will call the appropriate mount() method for the specific
-filesystem. New vfsmount referring to the tree returned by ->mount()
-will be attached to the mountpoint, so that when pathname resolution
-reaches the mountpoint it will jump into the root of that vfsmount.
-
-You can see all filesystems that are registered to the kernel in the
-file /proc/filesystems.
-
-
-struct file_system_type
------------------------
-
-This describes the filesystem. As of kernel 2.6.39, the following
-members are defined:
-
-struct file_system_type {
- const char *name;
- int fs_flags;
- struct dentry *(*mount) (struct file_system_type *, int,
- const char *, void *);
- void (*kill_sb) (struct super_block *);
- struct module *owner;
- struct file_system_type * next;
- struct list_head fs_supers;
- struct lock_class_key s_lock_key;
- struct lock_class_key s_umount_key;
-};
-
- name: the name of the filesystem type, such as "ext2", "iso9660",
- "msdos" and so on
-
- fs_flags: various flags (i.e. FS_REQUIRES_DEV, FS_NO_DCACHE, etc.)
-
- mount: the method to call when a new instance of this
- filesystem should be mounted
-
- kill_sb: the method to call when an instance of this filesystem
- should be shut down
-
- owner: for internal VFS use: you should initialize this to THIS_MODULE in
- most cases.
-
- next: for internal VFS use: you should initialize this to NULL
-
- s_lock_key, s_umount_key: lockdep-specific
-
-The mount() method has the following arguments:
-
- struct file_system_type *fs_type: describes the filesystem, partly initialized
- by the specific filesystem code
-
- int flags: mount flags
-
- const char *dev_name: the device name we are mounting.
-
- void *data: arbitrary mount options, usually comes as an ASCII
- string (see "Mount Options" section)
-
-The mount() method must return the root dentry of the tree requested by
-caller. An active reference to its superblock must be grabbed and the
-superblock must be locked. On failure it should return ERR_PTR(error).
-
-The arguments match those of mount(2) and their interpretation
-depends on filesystem type. E.g. for block filesystems, dev_name is
-interpreted as block device name, that device is opened and if it
-contains a suitable filesystem image the method creates and initializes
-struct super_block accordingly, returning its root dentry to caller.
-
-->mount() may choose to return a subtree of existing filesystem - it
-doesn't have to create a new one. The main result from the caller's
-point of view is a reference to dentry at the root of (sub)tree to
-be attached; creation of new superblock is a common side effect.
-
-The most interesting member of the superblock structure that the
-mount() method fills in is the "s_op" field. This is a pointer to
-a "struct super_operations" which describes the next level of the
-filesystem implementation.
-
-Usually, a filesystem uses one of the generic mount() implementations
-and provides a fill_super() callback instead. The generic variants are:
-
- mount_bdev: mount a filesystem residing on a block device
-
- mount_nodev: mount a filesystem that is not backed by a device
-
- mount_single: mount a filesystem which shares the instance between
- all mounts
-
-A fill_super() callback implementation has the following arguments:
-
- struct super_block *sb: the superblock structure. The callback
- must initialize this properly.
-
- void *data: arbitrary mount options, usually comes as an ASCII
- string (see "Mount Options" section)
-
- int silent: whether or not to be silent on error
-
-
-The Superblock Object
-=====================
-
-A superblock object represents a mounted filesystem.
-
-
-struct super_operations
------------------------
-
-This describes how the VFS can manipulate the superblock of your
-filesystem. As of kernel 2.6.22, the following members are defined:
-
-struct super_operations {
- struct inode *(*alloc_inode)(struct super_block *sb);
- void (*destroy_inode)(struct inode *);
-
- void (*dirty_inode) (struct inode *, int flags);
- int (*write_inode) (struct inode *, int);
- void (*drop_inode) (struct inode *);
- void (*delete_inode) (struct inode *);
- void (*put_super) (struct super_block *);
- int (*sync_fs)(struct super_block *sb, int wait);
- int (*freeze_fs) (struct super_block *);
- int (*unfreeze_fs) (struct super_block *);
- int (*statfs) (struct dentry *, struct kstatfs *);
- int (*remount_fs) (struct super_block *, int *, char *);
- void (*clear_inode) (struct inode *);
- void (*umount_begin) (struct super_block *);
-
- int (*show_options)(struct seq_file *, struct dentry *);
-
- ssize_t (*quota_read)(struct super_block *, int, char *, size_t, loff_t);
- ssize_t (*quota_write)(struct super_block *, int, const char *, size_t, loff_t);
- int (*nr_cached_objects)(struct super_block *);
- void (*free_cached_objects)(struct super_block *, int);
-};
-
-All methods are called without any locks being held, unless otherwise
-noted. This means that most methods can block safely. All methods are
-only called from a process context (i.e. not from an interrupt handler
-or bottom half).
-
- alloc_inode: this method is called by alloc_inode() to allocate memory
- for struct inode and initialize it. If this function is not
- defined, a simple 'struct inode' is allocated. Normally
- alloc_inode will be used to allocate a larger structure which
- contains a 'struct inode' embedded within it.
-
- destroy_inode: this method is called by destroy_inode() to release
- resources allocated for struct inode. It is only required if
- ->alloc_inode was defined and simply undoes anything done by
- ->alloc_inode.
-
- dirty_inode: this method is called by the VFS to mark an inode dirty.
-
- write_inode: this method is called when the VFS needs to write an
- inode to disc. The second parameter indicates whether the write
- should be synchronous or not, not all filesystems check this flag.
-
- drop_inode: called when the last access to the inode is dropped,
- with the inode->i_lock spinlock held.
-
- This method should be either NULL (normal UNIX filesystem
- semantics) or "generic_delete_inode" (for filesystems that do not
- want to cache inodes - causing "delete_inode" to always be
- called regardless of the value of i_nlink)
-
- The "generic_delete_inode()" behavior is equivalent to the
- old practice of using "force_delete" in the put_inode() case,
- but does not have the races that the "force_delete()" approach
- had.
-
- delete_inode: called when the VFS wants to delete an inode
-
- put_super: called when the VFS wishes to free the superblock
- (i.e. unmount). This is called with the superblock lock held
-
- sync_fs: called when VFS is writing out all dirty data associated with
- a superblock. The second parameter indicates whether the method
- should wait until the write out has been completed. Optional.
-
- freeze_fs: called when VFS is locking a filesystem and
- forcing it into a consistent state. This method is currently
- used by the Logical Volume Manager (LVM).
-
- unfreeze_fs: called when VFS is unlocking a filesystem and making it writable
- again.
-
- statfs: called when the VFS needs to get filesystem statistics.
-
- remount_fs: called when the filesystem is remounted. This is called
- with the kernel lock held
-
- clear_inode: called then the VFS clears the inode. Optional
-
- umount_begin: called when the VFS is unmounting a filesystem.
-
- show_options: called by the VFS to show mount options for
- /proc/<pid>/mounts. (see "Mount Options" section)
-
- quota_read: called by the VFS to read from filesystem quota file.
-
- quota_write: called by the VFS to write to filesystem quota file.
-
- nr_cached_objects: called by the sb cache shrinking function for the
- filesystem to return the number of freeable cached objects it contains.
- Optional.
-
- free_cache_objects: called by the sb cache shrinking function for the
- filesystem to scan the number of objects indicated to try to free them.
- Optional, but any filesystem implementing this method needs to also
- implement ->nr_cached_objects for it to be called correctly.
-
- We can't do anything with any errors that the filesystem might
- encountered, hence the void return type. This will never be called if
- the VM is trying to reclaim under GFP_NOFS conditions, hence this
- method does not need to handle that situation itself.
-
- Implementations must include conditional reschedule calls inside any
- scanning loop that is done. This allows the VFS to determine
- appropriate scan batch sizes without having to worry about whether
- implementations will cause holdoff problems due to large scan batch
- sizes.
-
-Whoever sets up the inode is responsible for filling in the "i_op" field. This
-is a pointer to a "struct inode_operations" which describes the methods that
-can be performed on individual inodes.
-
-struct xattr_handlers
----------------------
-
-On filesystems that support extended attributes (xattrs), the s_xattr
-superblock field points to a NULL-terminated array of xattr handlers. Extended
-attributes are name:value pairs.
-
- name: Indicates that the handler matches attributes with the specified name
- (such as "system.posix_acl_access"); the prefix field must be NULL.
-
- prefix: Indicates that the handler matches all attributes with the specified
- name prefix (such as "user."); the name field must be NULL.
-
- list: Determine if attributes matching this xattr handler should be listed
- for a particular dentry. Used by some listxattr implementations like
- generic_listxattr.
-
- get: Called by the VFS to get the value of a particular extended attribute.
- This method is called by the getxattr(2) system call.
-
- set: Called by the VFS to set the value of a particular extended attribute.
- When the new value is NULL, called to remove a particular extended
- attribute. This method is called by the the setxattr(2) and
- removexattr(2) system calls.
-
-When none of the xattr handlers of a filesystem match the specified attribute
-name or when a filesystem doesn't support extended attributes, the various
-*xattr(2) system calls return -EOPNOTSUPP.
-
-
-The Inode Object
-================
-
-An inode object represents an object within the filesystem.
-
-
-struct inode_operations
------------------------
-
-This describes how the VFS can manipulate an inode in your
-filesystem. As of kernel 2.6.22, the following members are defined:
-
-struct inode_operations {
- int (*create) (struct inode *,struct dentry *, umode_t, bool);
- struct dentry * (*lookup) (struct inode *,struct dentry *, unsigned int);
- int (*link) (struct dentry *,struct inode *,struct dentry *);
- int (*unlink) (struct inode *,struct dentry *);
- int (*symlink) (struct inode *,struct dentry *,const char *);
- int (*mkdir) (struct inode *,struct dentry *,umode_t);
- int (*rmdir) (struct inode *,struct dentry *);
- int (*mknod) (struct inode *,struct dentry *,umode_t,dev_t);
- int (*rename) (struct inode *, struct dentry *,
- struct inode *, struct dentry *, unsigned int);
- int (*readlink) (struct dentry *, char __user *,int);
- const char *(*get_link) (struct dentry *, struct inode *,
- struct delayed_call *);
- int (*permission) (struct inode *, int);
- int (*get_acl)(struct inode *, int);
- int (*setattr) (struct dentry *, struct iattr *);
- int (*getattr) (const struct path *, struct kstat *, u32, unsigned int);
- ssize_t (*listxattr) (struct dentry *, char *, size_t);
- void (*update_time)(struct inode *, struct timespec *, int);
- int (*atomic_open)(struct inode *, struct dentry *, struct file *,
- unsigned open_flag, umode_t create_mode);
- int (*tmpfile) (struct inode *, struct dentry *, umode_t);
-};
-
-Again, all methods are called without any locks being held, unless
-otherwise noted.
-
- create: called by the open(2) and creat(2) system calls. Only
- required if you want to support regular files. The dentry you
- get should not have an inode (i.e. it should be a negative
- dentry). Here you will probably call d_instantiate() with the
- dentry and the newly created inode
-
- lookup: called when the VFS needs to look up an inode in a parent
- directory. The name to look for is found in the dentry. This
- method must call d_add() to insert the found inode into the
- dentry. The "i_count" field in the inode structure should be
- incremented. If the named inode does not exist a NULL inode
- should be inserted into the dentry (this is called a negative
- dentry). Returning an error code from this routine must only
- be done on a real error, otherwise creating inodes with system
- calls like create(2), mknod(2), mkdir(2) and so on will fail.
- If you wish to overload the dentry methods then you should
- initialise the "d_dop" field in the dentry; this is a pointer
- to a struct "dentry_operations".
- This method is called with the directory inode semaphore held
-
- link: called by the link(2) system call. Only required if you want
- to support hard links. You will probably need to call
- d_instantiate() just as you would in the create() method
-
- unlink: called by the unlink(2) system call. Only required if you
- want to support deleting inodes
-
- symlink: called by the symlink(2) system call. Only required if you
- want to support symlinks. You will probably need to call
- d_instantiate() just as you would in the create() method
-
- mkdir: called by the mkdir(2) system call. Only required if you want
- to support creating subdirectories. You will probably need to
- call d_instantiate() just as you would in the create() method
-
- rmdir: called by the rmdir(2) system call. Only required if you want
- to support deleting subdirectories
-
- mknod: called by the mknod(2) system call to create a device (char,
- block) inode or a named pipe (FIFO) or socket. Only required
- if you want to support creating these types of inodes. You
- will probably need to call d_instantiate() just as you would
- in the create() method
-
- rename: called by the rename(2) system call to rename the object to
- have the parent and name given by the second inode and dentry.
-
- The filesystem must return -EINVAL for any unsupported or
- unknown flags. Currently the following flags are implemented:
- (1) RENAME_NOREPLACE: this flag indicates that if the target
- of the rename exists the rename should fail with -EEXIST
- instead of replacing the target. The VFS already checks for
- existence, so for local filesystems the RENAME_NOREPLACE
- implementation is equivalent to plain rename.
- (2) RENAME_EXCHANGE: exchange source and target. Both must
- exist; this is checked by the VFS. Unlike plain rename,
- source and target may be of different type.
-
- get_link: called by the VFS to follow a symbolic link to the
- inode it points to. Only required if you want to support
- symbolic links. This method returns the symlink body
- to traverse (and possibly resets the current position with
- nd_jump_link()). If the body won't go away until the inode
- is gone, nothing else is needed; if it needs to be otherwise
- pinned, arrange for its release by having get_link(..., ..., done)
- do set_delayed_call(done, destructor, argument).
- In that case destructor(argument) will be called once VFS is
- done with the body you've returned.
- May be called in RCU mode; that is indicated by NULL dentry
- argument. If request can't be handled without leaving RCU mode,
- have it return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD).
-
- If the filesystem stores the symlink target in ->i_link, the
- VFS may use it directly without calling ->get_link(); however,
- ->get_link() must still be provided. ->i_link must not be
- freed until after an RCU grace period. Writing to ->i_link
- post-iget() time requires a 'release' memory barrier.
-
- readlink: this is now just an override for use by readlink(2) for the
- cases when ->get_link uses nd_jump_link() or object is not in
- fact a symlink. Normally filesystems should only implement
- ->get_link for symlinks and readlink(2) will automatically use
- that.
-
- permission: called by the VFS to check for access rights on a POSIX-like
- filesystem.
-
- May be called in rcu-walk mode (mask & MAY_NOT_BLOCK). If in rcu-walk
- mode, the filesystem must check the permission without blocking or
- storing to the inode.
-
- If a situation is encountered that rcu-walk cannot handle, return
- -ECHILD and it will be called again in ref-walk mode.
-
- setattr: called by the VFS to set attributes for a file. This method
- is called by chmod(2) and related system calls.
-
- getattr: called by the VFS to get attributes of a file. This method
- is called by stat(2) and related system calls.
-
- listxattr: called by the VFS to list all extended attributes for a
- given file. This method is called by the listxattr(2) system call.
-
- update_time: called by the VFS to update a specific time or the i_version of
- an inode. If this is not defined the VFS will update the inode itself
- and call mark_inode_dirty_sync.
-
- atomic_open: called on the last component of an open. Using this optional
- method the filesystem can look up, possibly create and open the file in
- one atomic operation. If it wants to leave actual opening to the
- caller (e.g. if the file turned out to be a symlink, device, or just
- something filesystem won't do atomic open for), it may signal this by
- returning finish_no_open(file, dentry). This method is only called if
- the last component is negative or needs lookup. Cached positive dentries
- are still handled by f_op->open(). If the file was created,
- FMODE_CREATED flag should be set in file->f_mode. In case of O_EXCL
- the method must only succeed if the file didn't exist and hence FMODE_CREATED
- shall always be set on success.
-
- tmpfile: called in the end of O_TMPFILE open(). Optional, equivalent to
- atomically creating, opening and unlinking a file in given directory.
-
-The Address Space Object
-========================
-
-The address space object is used to group and manage pages in the page
-cache. It can be used to keep track of the pages in a file (or
-anything else) and also track the mapping of sections of the file into
-process address spaces.
-
-There are a number of distinct yet related services that an
-address-space can provide. These include communicating memory
-pressure, page lookup by address, and keeping track of pages tagged as
-Dirty or Writeback.
-
-The first can be used independently to the others. The VM can try to
-either write dirty pages in order to clean them, or release clean
-pages in order to reuse them. To do this it can call the ->writepage
-method on dirty pages, and ->releasepage on clean pages with
-PagePrivate set. Clean pages without PagePrivate and with no external
-references will be released without notice being given to the
-address_space.
-
-To achieve this functionality, pages need to be placed on an LRU with
-lru_cache_add and mark_page_active needs to be called whenever the
-page is used.
-
-Pages are normally kept in a radix tree index by ->index. This tree
-maintains information about the PG_Dirty and PG_Writeback status of
-each page, so that pages with either of these flags can be found
-quickly.
-
-The Dirty tag is primarily used by mpage_writepages - the default
-->writepages method. It uses the tag to find dirty pages to call
-->writepage on. If mpage_writepages is not used (i.e. the address
-provides its own ->writepages) , the PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY tag is
-almost unused. write_inode_now and sync_inode do use it (through
-__sync_single_inode) to check if ->writepages has been successful in
-writing out the whole address_space.
-
-The Writeback tag is used by filemap*wait* and sync_page* functions,
-via filemap_fdatawait_range, to wait for all writeback to complete.
-
-An address_space handler may attach extra information to a page,
-typically using the 'private' field in the 'struct page'. If such
-information is attached, the PG_Private flag should be set. This will
-cause various VM routines to make extra calls into the address_space
-handler to deal with that data.
-
-An address space acts as an intermediate between storage and
-application. Data is read into the address space a whole page at a
-time, and provided to the application either by copying of the page,
-or by memory-mapping the page.
-Data is written into the address space by the application, and then
-written-back to storage typically in whole pages, however the
-address_space has finer control of write sizes.
-
-The read process essentially only requires 'readpage'. The write
-process is more complicated and uses write_begin/write_end or
-set_page_dirty to write data into the address_space, and writepage
-and writepages to writeback data to storage.
-
-Adding and removing pages to/from an address_space is protected by the
-inode's i_mutex.
-
-When data is written to a page, the PG_Dirty flag should be set. It
-typically remains set until writepage asks for it to be written. This
-should clear PG_Dirty and set PG_Writeback. It can be actually
-written at any point after PG_Dirty is clear. Once it is known to be
-safe, PG_Writeback is cleared.
-
-Writeback makes use of a writeback_control structure to direct the
-operations. This gives the the writepage and writepages operations some
-information about the nature of and reason for the writeback request,
-and the constraints under which it is being done. It is also used to
-return information back to the caller about the result of a writepage or
-writepages request.
-
-Handling errors during writeback
---------------------------------
-Most applications that do buffered I/O will periodically call a file
-synchronization call (fsync, fdatasync, msync or sync_file_range) to
-ensure that data written has made it to the backing store. When there
-is an error during writeback, they expect that error to be reported when
-a file sync request is made. After an error has been reported on one
-request, subsequent requests on the same file descriptor should return
-0, unless further writeback errors have occurred since the previous file
-syncronization.
-
-Ideally, the kernel would report errors only on file descriptions on
-which writes were done that subsequently failed to be written back. The
-generic pagecache infrastructure does not track the file descriptions
-that have dirtied each individual page however, so determining which
-file descriptors should get back an error is not possible.
-
-Instead, the generic writeback error tracking infrastructure in the
-kernel settles for reporting errors to fsync on all file descriptions
-that were open at the time that the error occurred. In a situation with
-multiple writers, all of them will get back an error on a subsequent fsync,
-even if all of the writes done through that particular file descriptor
-succeeded (or even if there were no writes on that file descriptor at all).
-
-Filesystems that wish to use this infrastructure should call
-mapping_set_error to record the error in the address_space when it
-occurs. Then, after writing back data from the pagecache in their
-file->fsync operation, they should call file_check_and_advance_wb_err to
-ensure that the struct file's error cursor has advanced to the correct
-point in the stream of errors emitted by the backing device(s).
-
-struct address_space_operations
--------------------------------
-
-This describes how the VFS can manipulate mapping of a file to page cache in
-your filesystem. The following members are defined:
-
-struct address_space_operations {
- int (*writepage)(struct page *page, struct writeback_control *wbc);
- int (*readpage)(struct file *, struct page *);
- int (*writepages)(struct address_space *, struct writeback_control *);
- int (*set_page_dirty)(struct page *page);
- int (*readpages)(struct file *filp, struct address_space *mapping,
- struct list_head *pages, unsigned nr_pages);
- int (*write_begin)(struct file *, struct address_space *mapping,
- loff_t pos, unsigned len, unsigned flags,
- struct page **pagep, void **fsdata);
- int (*write_end)(struct file *, struct address_space *mapping,
- loff_t pos, unsigned len, unsigned copied,
- struct page *page, void *fsdata);
- sector_t (*bmap)(struct address_space *, sector_t);
- void (*invalidatepage) (struct page *, unsigned int, unsigned int);
- int (*releasepage) (struct page *, int);
- void (*freepage)(struct page *);
- ssize_t (*direct_IO)(struct kiocb *, struct iov_iter *iter);
- /* isolate a page for migration */
- bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *, isolate_mode_t);
- /* migrate the contents of a page to the specified target */
- int (*migratepage) (struct page *, struct page *);
- /* put migration-failed page back to right list */
- void (*putback_page) (struct page *);
- int (*launder_page) (struct page *);
-
- int (*is_partially_uptodate) (struct page *, unsigned long,
- unsigned long);
- void (*is_dirty_writeback) (struct page *, bool *, bool *);
- int (*error_remove_page) (struct mapping *mapping, struct page *page);
- int (*swap_activate)(struct file *);
- int (*swap_deactivate)(struct file *);
-};
-
- writepage: called by the VM to write a dirty page to backing store.
- This may happen for data integrity reasons (i.e. 'sync'), or
- to free up memory (flush). The difference can be seen in
- wbc->sync_mode.
- The PG_Dirty flag has been cleared and PageLocked is true.
- writepage should start writeout, should set PG_Writeback,
- and should make sure the page is unlocked, either synchronously
- or asynchronously when the write operation completes.
-
- If wbc->sync_mode is WB_SYNC_NONE, ->writepage doesn't have to
- try too hard if there are problems, and may choose to write out
- other pages from the mapping if that is easier (e.g. due to
- internal dependencies). If it chooses not to start writeout, it
- should return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE so that the VM will not keep
- calling ->writepage on that page.
-
- See the file "Locking" for more details.
-
- readpage: called by the VM to read a page from backing store.
- The page will be Locked when readpage is called, and should be
- unlocked and marked uptodate once the read completes.
- If ->readpage discovers that it needs to unlock the page for
- some reason, it can do so, and then return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE.
- In this case, the page will be relocated, relocked and if
- that all succeeds, ->readpage will be called again.
-
- writepages: called by the VM to write out pages associated with the
- address_space object. If wbc->sync_mode is WBC_SYNC_ALL, then
- the writeback_control will specify a range of pages that must be
- written out. If it is WBC_SYNC_NONE, then a nr_to_write is given
- and that many pages should be written if possible.
- If no ->writepages is given, then mpage_writepages is used
- instead. This will choose pages from the address space that are
- tagged as DIRTY and will pass them to ->writepage.
-
- set_page_dirty: called by the VM to set a page dirty.
- This is particularly needed if an address space attaches
- private data to a page, and that data needs to be updated when
- a page is dirtied. This is called, for example, when a memory
- mapped page gets modified.
- If defined, it should set the PageDirty flag, and the
- PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY tag in the radix tree.
-
- readpages: called by the VM to read pages associated with the address_space
- object. This is essentially just a vector version of
- readpage. Instead of just one page, several pages are
- requested.
- readpages is only used for read-ahead, so read errors are
- ignored. If anything goes wrong, feel free to give up.
-
- write_begin:
- Called by the generic buffered write code to ask the filesystem to
- prepare to write len bytes at the given offset in the file. The
- address_space should check that the write will be able to complete,
- by allocating space if necessary and doing any other internal
- housekeeping. If the write will update parts of any basic-blocks on
- storage, then those blocks should be pre-read (if they haven't been
- read already) so that the updated blocks can be written out properly.
-
- The filesystem must return the locked pagecache page for the specified
- offset, in *pagep, for the caller to write into.
-
- It must be able to cope with short writes (where the length passed to
- write_begin is greater than the number of bytes copied into the page).
-
- flags is a field for AOP_FLAG_xxx flags, described in
- include/linux/fs.h.
-
- A void * may be returned in fsdata, which then gets passed into
- write_end.
-
- Returns 0 on success; < 0 on failure (which is the error code), in
- which case write_end is not called.
-
- write_end: After a successful write_begin, and data copy, write_end must
- be called. len is the original len passed to write_begin, and copied
- is the amount that was able to be copied.
-
- The filesystem must take care of unlocking the page and releasing it
- refcount, and updating i_size.
-
- Returns < 0 on failure, otherwise the number of bytes (<= 'copied')
- that were able to be copied into pagecache.
-
- bmap: called by the VFS to map a logical block offset within object to
- physical block number. This method is used by the FIBMAP
- ioctl and for working with swap-files. To be able to swap to
- a file, the file must have a stable mapping to a block
- device. The swap system does not go through the filesystem
- but instead uses bmap to find out where the blocks in the file
- are and uses those addresses directly.
-
- invalidatepage: If a page has PagePrivate set, then invalidatepage
- will be called when part or all of the page is to be removed
- from the address space. This generally corresponds to either a
- truncation, punch hole or a complete invalidation of the address
- space (in the latter case 'offset' will always be 0 and 'length'
- will be PAGE_SIZE). Any private data associated with the page
- should be updated to reflect this truncation. If offset is 0 and
- length is PAGE_SIZE, then the private data should be released,
- because the page must be able to be completely discarded. This may
- be done by calling the ->releasepage function, but in this case the
- release MUST succeed.
-
- releasepage: releasepage is called on PagePrivate pages to indicate
- that the page should be freed if possible. ->releasepage
- should remove any private data from the page and clear the
- PagePrivate flag. If releasepage() fails for some reason, it must
- indicate failure with a 0 return value.
- releasepage() is used in two distinct though related cases. The
- first is when the VM finds a clean page with no active users and
- wants to make it a free page. If ->releasepage succeeds, the
- page will be removed from the address_space and become free.
-
- The second case is when a request has been made to invalidate
- some or all pages in an address_space. This can happen
- through the fadvise(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) system call or by the
- filesystem explicitly requesting it as nfs and 9fs do (when
- they believe the cache may be out of date with storage) by
- calling invalidate_inode_pages2().
- If the filesystem makes such a call, and needs to be certain
- that all pages are invalidated, then its releasepage will
- need to ensure this. Possibly it can clear the PageUptodate
- bit if it cannot free private data yet.
-
- freepage: freepage is called once the page is no longer visible in
- the page cache in order to allow the cleanup of any private
- data. Since it may be called by the memory reclaimer, it
- should not assume that the original address_space mapping still
- exists, and it should not block.
-
- direct_IO: called by the generic read/write routines to perform
- direct_IO - that is IO requests which bypass the page cache
- and transfer data directly between the storage and the
- application's address space.
-
- isolate_page: Called by the VM when isolating a movable non-lru page.
- If page is successfully isolated, VM marks the page as PG_isolated
- via __SetPageIsolated.
-
- migrate_page: This is used to compact the physical memory usage.
- If the VM wants to relocate a page (maybe off a memory card
- that is signalling imminent failure) it will pass a new page
- and an old page to this function. migrate_page should
- transfer any private data across and update any references
- that it has to the page.
-
- putback_page: Called by the VM when isolated page's migration fails.
-
- launder_page: Called before freeing a page - it writes back the dirty page. To
- prevent redirtying the page, it is kept locked during the whole
- operation.
-
- is_partially_uptodate: Called by the VM when reading a file through the
- pagecache when the underlying blocksize != pagesize. If the required
- block is up to date then the read can complete without needing the IO
- to bring the whole page up to date.
-
- is_dirty_writeback: Called by the VM when attempting to reclaim a page.
- The VM uses dirty and writeback information to determine if it needs
- to stall to allow flushers a chance to complete some IO. Ordinarily
- it can use PageDirty and PageWriteback but some filesystems have
- more complex state (unstable pages in NFS prevent reclaim) or
- do not set those flags due to locking problems. This callback
- allows a filesystem to indicate to the VM if a page should be
- treated as dirty or writeback for the purposes of stalling.
-
- error_remove_page: normally set to generic_error_remove_page if truncation
- is ok for this address space. Used for memory failure handling.
- Setting this implies you deal with pages going away under you,
- unless you have them locked or reference counts increased.
-
- swap_activate: Called when swapon is used on a file to allocate
- space if necessary and pin the block lookup information in
- memory. A return value of zero indicates success,
- in which case this file can be used to back swapspace.
-
- swap_deactivate: Called during swapoff on files where swap_activate
- was successful.
-
-
-The File Object
-===============
-
-A file object represents a file opened by a process. This is also known
-as an "open file description" in POSIX parlance.
-
-
-struct file_operations
-----------------------
-
-This describes how the VFS can manipulate an open file. As of kernel
-4.18, the following members are defined:
-
-struct file_operations {
- struct module *owner;
- loff_t (*llseek) (struct file *, loff_t, int);
- ssize_t (*read) (struct file *, char __user *, size_t, loff_t *);
- ssize_t (*write) (struct file *, const char __user *, size_t, loff_t *);
- ssize_t (*read_iter) (struct kiocb *, struct iov_iter *);
- ssize_t (*write_iter) (struct kiocb *, struct iov_iter *);
- int (*iopoll)(struct kiocb *kiocb, bool spin);
- int (*iterate) (struct file *, struct dir_context *);
- int (*iterate_shared) (struct file *, struct dir_context *);
- __poll_t (*poll) (struct file *, struct poll_table_struct *);
- long (*unlocked_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long);
- long (*compat_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long);
- int (*mmap) (struct file *, struct vm_area_struct *);
- int (*open) (struct inode *, struct file *);
- int (*flush) (struct file *, fl_owner_t id);
- int (*release) (struct inode *, struct file *);
- int (*fsync) (struct file *, loff_t, loff_t, int datasync);
- int (*fasync) (int, struct file *, int);
- int (*lock) (struct file *, int, struct file_lock *);
- ssize_t (*sendpage) (struct file *, struct page *, int, size_t, loff_t *, int);
- unsigned long (*get_unmapped_area)(struct file *, unsigned long, unsigned long, unsigned long, unsigned long);
- int (*check_flags)(int);
- int (*flock) (struct file *, int, struct file_lock *);
- ssize_t (*splice_write)(struct pipe_inode_info *, struct file *, loff_t *, size_t, unsigned int);
- ssize_t (*splice_read)(struct file *, loff_t *, struct pipe_inode_info *, size_t, unsigned int);
- int (*setlease)(struct file *, long, struct file_lock **, void **);
- long (*fallocate)(struct file *file, int mode, loff_t offset,
- loff_t len);
- void (*show_fdinfo)(struct seq_file *m, struct file *f);
-#ifndef CONFIG_MMU
- unsigned (*mmap_capabilities)(struct file *);
-#endif
- ssize_t (*copy_file_range)(struct file *, loff_t, struct file *, loff_t, size_t, unsigned int);
- loff_t (*remap_file_range)(struct file *file_in, loff_t pos_in,
- struct file *file_out, loff_t pos_out,
- loff_t len, unsigned int remap_flags);
- int (*fadvise)(struct file *, loff_t, loff_t, int);
-};
-
-Again, all methods are called without any locks being held, unless
-otherwise noted.
-
- llseek: called when the VFS needs to move the file position index
-
- read: called by read(2) and related system calls
-
- read_iter: possibly asynchronous read with iov_iter as destination
-
- write: called by write(2) and related system calls
-
- write_iter: possibly asynchronous write with iov_iter as source
-
- iopoll: called when aio wants to poll for completions on HIPRI iocbs
-
- iterate: called when the VFS needs to read the directory contents
-
- iterate_shared: called when the VFS needs to read the directory contents
- when filesystem supports concurrent dir iterators
-
- poll: called by the VFS when a process wants to check if there is
- activity on this file and (optionally) go to sleep until there
- is activity. Called by the select(2) and poll(2) system calls
-
- unlocked_ioctl: called by the ioctl(2) system call.
-
- compat_ioctl: called by the ioctl(2) system call when 32 bit system calls
- are used on 64 bit kernels.
-
- mmap: called by the mmap(2) system call
-
- open: called by the VFS when an inode should be opened. When the VFS
- opens a file, it creates a new "struct file". It then calls the
- open method for the newly allocated file structure. You might
- think that the open method really belongs in
- "struct inode_operations", and you may be right. I think it's
- done the way it is because it makes filesystems simpler to
- implement. The open() method is a good place to initialize the
- "private_data" member in the file structure if you want to point
- to a device structure
-
- flush: called by the close(2) system call to flush a file
-
- release: called when the last reference to an open file is closed
-
- fsync: called by the fsync(2) system call. Also see the section above
- entitled "Handling errors during writeback".
-
- fasync: called by the fcntl(2) system call when asynchronous
- (non-blocking) mode is enabled for a file
-
- lock: called by the fcntl(2) system call for F_GETLK, F_SETLK, and F_SETLKW
- commands
-
- get_unmapped_area: called by the mmap(2) system call
-
- check_flags: called by the fcntl(2) system call for F_SETFL command
-
- flock: called by the flock(2) system call
-
- splice_write: called by the VFS to splice data from a pipe to a file. This
- method is used by the splice(2) system call
-
- splice_read: called by the VFS to splice data from file to a pipe. This
- method is used by the splice(2) system call
-
- setlease: called by the VFS to set or release a file lock lease. setlease
- implementations should call generic_setlease to record or remove
- the lease in the inode after setting it.
-
- fallocate: called by the VFS to preallocate blocks or punch a hole.
-
- copy_file_range: called by the copy_file_range(2) system call.
-
- remap_file_range: called by the ioctl(2) system call for FICLONERANGE and
- FICLONE and FIDEDUPERANGE commands to remap file ranges. An
- implementation should remap len bytes at pos_in of the source file into
- the dest file at pos_out. Implementations must handle callers passing
- in len == 0; this means "remap to the end of the source file". The
- return value should the number of bytes remapped, or the usual
- negative error code if errors occurred before any bytes were remapped.
- The remap_flags parameter accepts REMAP_FILE_* flags. If
- REMAP_FILE_DEDUP is set then the implementation must only remap if the
- requested file ranges have identical contents. If REMAP_CAN_SHORTEN is
- set, the caller is ok with the implementation shortening the request
- length to satisfy alignment or EOF requirements (or any other reason).
-
- fadvise: possibly called by the fadvise64() system call.
-
-Note that the file operations are implemented by the specific
-filesystem in which the inode resides. When opening a device node
-(character or block special) most filesystems will call special
-support routines in the VFS which will locate the required device
-driver information. These support routines replace the filesystem file
-operations with those for the device driver, and then proceed to call
-the new open() method for the file. This is how opening a device file
-in the filesystem eventually ends up calling the device driver open()
-method.
-
-
-Directory Entry Cache (dcache)
-==============================
-
-
-struct dentry_operations
-------------------------
-
-This describes how a filesystem can overload the standard dentry
-operations. Dentries and the dcache are the domain of the VFS and the
-individual filesystem implementations. Device drivers have no business
-here. These methods may be set to NULL, as they are either optional or
-the VFS uses a default. As of kernel 2.6.22, the following members are
-defined:
-
-struct dentry_operations {
- int (*d_revalidate)(struct dentry *, unsigned int);
- int (*d_weak_revalidate)(struct dentry *, unsigned int);
- int (*d_hash)(const struct dentry *, struct qstr *);
- int (*d_compare)(const struct dentry *,
- unsigned int, const char *, const struct qstr *);
- int (*d_delete)(const struct dentry *);
- int (*d_init)(struct dentry *);
- void (*d_release)(struct dentry *);
- void (*d_iput)(struct dentry *, struct inode *);
- char *(*d_dname)(struct dentry *, char *, int);
- struct vfsmount *(*d_automount)(struct path *);
- int (*d_manage)(const struct path *, bool);
- struct dentry *(*d_real)(struct dentry *, const struct inode *);
-};
-
- d_revalidate: called when the VFS needs to revalidate a dentry. This
- is called whenever a name look-up finds a dentry in the
- dcache. Most local filesystems leave this as NULL, because all their
- dentries in the dcache are valid. Network filesystems are different
- since things can change on the server without the client necessarily
- being aware of it.
-
- This function should return a positive value if the dentry is still
- valid, and zero or a negative error code if it isn't.
-
- d_revalidate may be called in rcu-walk mode (flags & LOOKUP_RCU).
- If in rcu-walk mode, the filesystem must revalidate the dentry without
- blocking or storing to the dentry, d_parent and d_inode should not be
- used without care (because they can change and, in d_inode case, even
- become NULL under us).
-
- If a situation is encountered that rcu-walk cannot handle, return
- -ECHILD and it will be called again in ref-walk mode.
-
- d_weak_revalidate: called when the VFS needs to revalidate a "jumped" dentry.
- This is called when a path-walk ends at dentry that was not acquired by
- doing a lookup in the parent directory. This includes "/", "." and "..",
- as well as procfs-style symlinks and mountpoint traversal.
-
- In this case, we are less concerned with whether the dentry is still
- fully correct, but rather that the inode is still valid. As with
- d_revalidate, most local filesystems will set this to NULL since their
- dcache entries are always valid.
-
- This function has the same return code semantics as d_revalidate.
-
- d_weak_revalidate is only called after leaving rcu-walk mode.
-
- d_hash: called when the VFS adds a dentry to the hash table. The first
- dentry passed to d_hash is the parent directory that the name is
- to be hashed into.
-
- Same locking and synchronisation rules as d_compare regarding
- what is safe to dereference etc.
-
- d_compare: called to compare a dentry name with a given name. The first
- dentry is the parent of the dentry to be compared, the second is
- the child dentry. len and name string are properties of the dentry
- to be compared. qstr is the name to compare it with.
-
- Must be constant and idempotent, and should not take locks if
- possible, and should not or store into the dentry.
- Should not dereference pointers outside the dentry without
- lots of care (eg. d_parent, d_inode, d_name should not be used).
-
- However, our vfsmount is pinned, and RCU held, so the dentries and
- inodes won't disappear, neither will our sb or filesystem module.
- ->d_sb may be used.
-
- It is a tricky calling convention because it needs to be called under
- "rcu-walk", ie. without any locks or references on things.
-
- d_delete: called when the last reference to a dentry is dropped and the
- dcache is deciding whether or not to cache it. Return 1 to delete
- immediately, or 0 to cache the dentry. Default is NULL which means to
- always cache a reachable dentry. d_delete must be constant and
- idempotent.
-
- d_init: called when a dentry is allocated
-
- d_release: called when a dentry is really deallocated
-
- d_iput: called when a dentry loses its inode (just prior to its
- being deallocated). The default when this is NULL is that the
- VFS calls iput(). If you define this method, you must call
- iput() yourself
-
- d_dname: called when the pathname of a dentry should be generated.
- Useful for some pseudo filesystems (sockfs, pipefs, ...) to delay
- pathname generation. (Instead of doing it when dentry is created,
- it's done only when the path is needed.). Real filesystems probably
- dont want to use it, because their dentries are present in global
- dcache hash, so their hash should be an invariant. As no lock is
- held, d_dname() should not try to modify the dentry itself, unless
- appropriate SMP safety is used. CAUTION : d_path() logic is quite
- tricky. The correct way to return for example "Hello" is to put it
- at the end of the buffer, and returns a pointer to the first char.
- dynamic_dname() helper function is provided to take care of this.
-
- Example :
-
- static char *pipefs_dname(struct dentry *dent, char *buffer, int buflen)
- {
- return dynamic_dname(dentry, buffer, buflen, "pipe:[%lu]",
- dentry->d_inode->i_ino);
- }
-
- d_automount: called when an automount dentry is to be traversed (optional).
- This should create a new VFS mount record and return the record to the
- caller. The caller is supplied with a path parameter giving the
- automount directory to describe the automount target and the parent
- VFS mount record to provide inheritable mount parameters. NULL should
- be returned if someone else managed to make the automount first. If
- the vfsmount creation failed, then an error code should be returned.
- If -EISDIR is returned, then the directory will be treated as an
- ordinary directory and returned to pathwalk to continue walking.
-
- If a vfsmount is returned, the caller will attempt to mount it on the
- mountpoint and will remove the vfsmount from its expiration list in
- the case of failure. The vfsmount should be returned with 2 refs on
- it to prevent automatic expiration - the caller will clean up the
- additional ref.
-
- This function is only used if DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT is set on the
- dentry. This is set by __d_instantiate() if S_AUTOMOUNT is set on the
- inode being added.
-
- d_manage: called to allow the filesystem to manage the transition from a
- dentry (optional). This allows autofs, for example, to hold up clients
- waiting to explore behind a 'mountpoint' while letting the daemon go
- past and construct the subtree there. 0 should be returned to let the
- calling process continue. -EISDIR can be returned to tell pathwalk to
- use this directory as an ordinary directory and to ignore anything
- mounted on it and not to check the automount flag. Any other error
- code will abort pathwalk completely.
-
- If the 'rcu_walk' parameter is true, then the caller is doing a
- pathwalk in RCU-walk mode. Sleeping is not permitted in this mode,
- and the caller can be asked to leave it and call again by returning
- -ECHILD. -EISDIR may also be returned to tell pathwalk to
- ignore d_automount or any mounts.
-
- This function is only used if DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT is set on the
- dentry being transited from.
-
- d_real: overlay/union type filesystems implement this method to return one of
- the underlying dentries hidden by the overlay. It is used in two
- different modes:
-
- Called from file_dentry() it returns the real dentry matching the inode
- argument. The real dentry may be from a lower layer already copied up,
- but still referenced from the file. This mode is selected with a
- non-NULL inode argument.
-
- With NULL inode the topmost real underlying dentry is returned.
-
-Each dentry has a pointer to its parent dentry, as well as a hash list
-of child dentries. Child dentries are basically like files in a
-directory.
-
-
-Directory Entry Cache API
---------------------------
-
-There are a number of functions defined which permit a filesystem to
-manipulate dentries:
-
- dget: open a new handle for an existing dentry (this just increments
- the usage count)
-
- dput: close a handle for a dentry (decrements the usage count). If
- the usage count drops to 0, and the dentry is still in its
- parent's hash, the "d_delete" method is called to check whether
- it should be cached. If it should not be cached, or if the dentry
- is not hashed, it is deleted. Otherwise cached dentries are put
- into an LRU list to be reclaimed on memory shortage.
-
- d_drop: this unhashes a dentry from its parents hash list. A
- subsequent call to dput() will deallocate the dentry if its
- usage count drops to 0
-
- d_delete: delete a dentry. If there are no other open references to
- the dentry then the dentry is turned into a negative dentry
- (the d_iput() method is called). If there are other
- references, then d_drop() is called instead
-
- d_add: add a dentry to its parents hash list and then calls
- d_instantiate()
-
- d_instantiate: add a dentry to the alias hash list for the inode and
- updates the "d_inode" member. The "i_count" member in the
- inode structure should be set/incremented. If the inode
- pointer is NULL, the dentry is called a "negative
- dentry". This function is commonly called when an inode is
- created for an existing negative dentry
-
- d_lookup: look up a dentry given its parent and path name component
- It looks up the child of that given name from the dcache
- hash table. If it is found, the reference count is incremented
- and the dentry is returned. The caller must use dput()
- to free the dentry when it finishes using it.
-
-Mount Options
-=============
-
-Parsing options
----------------
-
-On mount and remount the filesystem is passed a string containing a
-comma separated list of mount options. The options can have either of
-these forms:
-
- option
- option=value
-
-The <linux/parser.h> header defines an API that helps parse these
-options. There are plenty of examples on how to use it in existing
-filesystems.
-
-Showing options
----------------
-
-If a filesystem accepts mount options, it must define show_options()
-to show all the currently active options. The rules are:
-
- - options MUST be shown which are not default or their values differ
- from the default
-
- - options MAY be shown which are enabled by default or have their
- default value
-
-Options used only internally between a mount helper and the kernel
-(such as file descriptors), or which only have an effect during the
-mounting (such as ones controlling the creation of a journal) are exempt
-from the above rules.
-
-The underlying reason for the above rules is to make sure, that a
-mount can be accurately replicated (e.g. umounting and mounting again)
-based on the information found in /proc/mounts.
-
-Resources

- version.)

-What is FMC
-***********
-
-FMC, as said, stands for "FPGA Mezzanine Card". It is a standard
-developed by the VME consortium called VITA (VMEbus International Trade
-Association and ratified by ANSI, the American National Standard
-Institute. The official documentation is called "ANSI-VITA 57.1".
-
-The FMC card is an almost square PCB, around 70x75 millimeters, that is
-called mezzanine in this document. It usually lives plugged into
-another PCB for power supply and control; such bigger circuit board is
-called carrier from now on, and a single carrier may host more than one
-mezzanine.
-
-In the typical application the mezzanine is mostly analog while the
-carrier is mostly digital, and hosts an FPGA that must be configured to
-match the specific mezzanine and the desired application. Thus, you may
-need to load different FPGA images to drive different instances of the
-same mezzanine.
-
-FMC, as such, is not a bus in the usual meaning of the term, because
-most carriers have only one connector, and carriers with several
-connectors have completely separate electrical connections to them.
-This package, however, implements a bus as a software abstraction.
-
-
-What is SDB
-***********
-
-SDB (Self Describing Bus) is a set of data structures that we use for
-enumerating the internal structure of an FPGA image. We also use it as
-a filesystem inside the FMC EEPROM.
-
-SDB is not mandatory for use of this FMC kernel bus, but if you have SDB
-this package can make good use of it. SDB itself is developed in the
-fpga-config-space OHWR project. The link to the repository is
-`git://ohwr.org/hdl-core-lib/fpga-config-space.git' and what is used in
-this project lives in the sdbfs subdirectory in there.

-FMC Device
-**********
-
-Within the Linux bus framework, the FMC device is created and
-registered by the carrier driver. For example, the PCI driver for the
-SPEC card fills a data structure for each SPEC that it drives, and
-registers an associated FMC device for each card. The SVEC driver can
-do exactly the same for the VME carrier (actually, it should do it
-twice, because the SVEC carries two FMC mezzanines). Similarly, an
-Etherbone driver will be able to register its own FMC devices, offering
-communication primitives through frame exchange.
-
-The contents of the EEPROM within the FMC are used for identification
-purposes, i.e. for matching the device with its own driver. For this
-reason the device structure includes a complete copy of the EEPROM
-(actually, the carrier driver may choose whether or not to return it -
-for example we most likely won't have the whole EEPROM available for
-Etherbone devices.
-
-The following listing shows the current structure defining a device.
-Please note that all the machinery is in place but some details may
-still change in the future. For this reason, there is a version field
-at the beginning of the structure. As usual, the minor number will
-change for compatible changes (like a new flag) and the major number
-will increase when an incompatible change happens (for example, a
-change in layout of some fmc data structures). Device writers should
-just set it to the value FMC_VERSION, and be ready to get back -EINVAL
-at registration time.

- * hwdev: to be used in some dev_err() calls.
-
- * device_id: a slot-specific unique integer number.
-
-
-Please note that the carrier should read its own EEPROM memory before
-registering the device, as well as fill all other fields listed above.
-
-The following fields should not be assigned, because they are filled
-later by either the bus or the device driver:
-
- * flags.
-
- * fru_id: filled by the bus, parsing the eeprom.
-
- * slot_base: filled and used by the driver, if useful to it.
-
- * devarray: an array og all mezzanines driven by a singe FPGA.
-
- * nr_slots: set by the core at registration time.
-
- * dev: used by Linux.
-
- * sdb: FPGA contents, scanned according to driver's directions.
-
- * sdbfs_entry: SDB entry point in EEPROM: autodetected.
-
- * mezzanine_data: available for the driver.
-
- * mezzanine_name: filled by fmc-bus during identification.
-
-
-Note: mezzanine_data may be redundant, because Linux offers the drvdata
-approach, so the field may be removed in later versions of this bus
-implementation.
-
-As I write this, she SPEC carrier is already completely functional in
-the fmc-bus environment, and is a good reference to look at.
-
-
-The API Offered by Carriers
-===========================
-
-The carrier provides a number of methods by means of the
-`fmc_operations' structure, which currently is defined like this
-(again, it is a moving target, please refer to the header rather than
-this document):
-
- struct fmc_operations {
- uint32_t (*readl)(struct fmc_device *fmc, int offset);
- void (*writel)(struct fmc_device *fmc, uint32_t value, int offset);
- int (*reprogram)(struct fmc_device *f, struct fmc_driver *d, char *gw);
- int (*validate)(struct fmc_device *fmc, struct fmc_driver *drv);
- int (*irq_request)(struct fmc_device *fmc, irq_handler_t h,
- char *name, int flags);
- void (*irq_ack)(struct fmc_device *fmc);
- int (*irq_free)(struct fmc_device *fmc);
- int (*gpio_config)(struct fmc_device *fmc, struct fmc_gpio *gpio,
- int ngpio);
- int (*read_ee)(struct fmc_device *fmc, int pos, void *d, int l);
- int (*write_ee)(struct fmc_device *fmc, int pos, const void *d, int l);
- };
-
-The individual methods perform the following tasks:
-
-`readl'
-`writel'
- These functions access FPGA registers by whatever means the
- carrier offers. They are not expected to fail, and most of the time
- they will just make a memory access to the host bus. If the
- carrier provides a fpga_base pointer, the driver may use direct
- access through that pointer. For this reason the header offers the
- inline functions fmc_readl and fmc_writel that access fpga_base if
- the respective method is NULL. A driver that wants to be portable
- and efficient should use fmc_readl and fmc_writel. For Etherbone,
- or other non-local carriers, error-management is still to be
- defined.
-
-`validate'
- Module parameters are used to manage different applications for
- two or more boards of the same kind. Validation is based on the
- busid module parameter, if provided, and returns the matching
- index in the associated array. See *note Module Parameters:: in in
- doubt. If no match is found, `-ENOENT' is returned; if the user
- didn't pass `busid=', all devices will pass validation. The value
- returned by the validate method can be used as index into other
- parameters (for example, some drivers use the `lm32=' parameter in
- this way). Such "generic parameters" are documented in *note
- Module Parameters::, below. The validate method is used by
- `fmc-trivial.ko', described in *note fmc-trivial::.
-
-`reprogram'
- The carrier enumerates FMC devices by loading a standard (or
- golden) FPGA binary that allows EEPROM access. Each driver, then,
- will need to reprogram the FPGA by calling this function. If the
- name argument is NULL, the carrier should reprogram the golden
- binary. If the gateware name has been overridden through module
- parameters (in a carrier-specific way) the file loaded will match
- the parameters. Per-device gateware names can be specified using
- the `gateware=' parameter, see *note Module Parameters::. Note:
- Clients should call rhe new helper, fmc_reprogram, which both
- calls this method and parse the SDB tree of the FPGA.
-
-`irq_request'
-`irq_ack'
-`irq_free'
- Interrupt management is carrier-specific, so it is abstracted as
- operations. The interrupt number is listed in the device
- structure, and for the mezzanine driver the number is only
- informative. The handler will receive the fmc pointer as dev_id;
- the flags argument is passed to the Linux request_irq function,
- but fmc-specific flags may be added in the future. You'll most
- likely want to pass the `IRQF_SHARED' flag.
-
-`gpio_config'
- The method allows to configure a GPIO pin in the carrier, and read
- its current value if it is configured as input. See *note The GPIO
- Abstraction:: for details.
-
-`read_ee'
-`write_ee'
- Read or write the EEPROM. The functions are expected to be only
- called before reprogramming and the carrier should refuse them
- with `ENODEV' after reprogramming. The offset is expected to be
- within 8kB (the current size), but addresses up to 1MB are
- reserved to fit bigger I2C devices in the future. Carriers may
- offer access to other internal flash memories using these same
- methods: for example the SPEC driver may define that its carrier
- I2C memory is seen at offset 1M and the internal SPI flash is seen
- at offset 16M. This multiplexing of several flash memories in the
- same address space is carrier-specific and should only be used
- by a driver that has verified the `carrier_name' field.
-
-
-
-The GPIO Abstraction
-====================
-
-Support for GPIO pins in the fmc-bus environment is not very
-straightforward and deserves special discussion.
-
-While the general idea of a carrier-independent driver seems to fly,
-configuration of specific signals within the carrier needs at least
-some knowledge of the carrier itself. For this reason, the specific
-driver can request to configure carrier-specific GPIO pins, numbered
-from 0 to at most 4095. Configuration is performed by passing a
-pointer to an array of struct fmc_gpio items, as well as the length of
-the array. This is the data structure:
-
- struct fmc_gpio {
- char *carrier_name;
- int gpio;
- int _gpio; /* internal use by the carrier */
- int mode; /* GPIOF_DIR_OUT etc, from <linux/gpio.h> */
- int irqmode; /* IRQF_TRIGGER_LOW and so on */
- };
-
-By specifying a carrier_name for each pin, the driver may access
-different pins in different carriers. The gpio_config method is
-expected to return the number of pins successfully configured, ignoring
-requests for other carriers. However, if no pin is configured (because
-no structure at all refers to the current carrier_name), the operation
-returns an error so the caller will know that it is running under a
-yet-unsupported carrier.
-
-So, for example, a driver that has been developed and tested on both
-the SPEC and the SVEC may request configuration of two different GPIO
-pins, and expect one such configuration to succeed - if none succeeds
-it most likely means that the current carrier is a still-unknown one.
-
-If, however, your GPIO pin has a specific known role, you can pass a
-special number in the gpio field, using one of the following macros:
-
- #define FMC_GPIO_RAW(x) (x) /* 4096 of them */
- #define FMC_GPIO_IRQ(x) ((x) + 0x1000) /* 256 of them */
- #define FMC_GPIO_LED(x) ((x) + 0x1100) /* 256 of them */
- #define FMC_GPIO_KEY(x) ((x) + 0x1200) /* 256 of them */
- #define FMC_GPIO_TP(x) ((x) + 0x1300) /* 256 of them */
- #define FMC_GPIO_USER(x) ((x) + 0x1400) /* 256 of them */
-
-Use of virtual GPIO numbers (anything but FMC_GPIO_RAW) is allowed
-provided the carrier_name field in the data structure is left
-unspecified (NULL). Each carrier is responsible for providing a mapping
-between virtual and physical GPIO numbers. The carrier may then use the
-_gpio field to cache the result of this mapping.
-
-All carriers must map their I/O lines to the sets above starting from
-zero. The SPEC, for example, maps interrupt pins 0 and 1, and test
-points 0 through 3 (even if the test points on the PCB are called
-5,6,7,8).
-
-If, for example, a driver requires a free LED and a test point (for a
-scope probe to be plugged at some point during development) it may ask
-for FMC_GPIO_LED(0) and FMC_GPIO_TP(0). Each carrier will provide
-suitable GPIO pins. Clearly, the person running the drivers will know
-the order used by the specific carrier driver in assigning leds and
-testpoints, so to make a carrier-dependent use of the diagnostic tools.
-
-In theory, some form of autodetection should be possible: a driver like
-the wr-nic (which uses IRQ(1) on the SPEC card) should configure
-IRQ(0), make a test with software-generated interrupts and configure
-IRQ(1) if the test fails. This probing step should be used because even
-if the wr-nic gateware is known to use IRQ1 on the SPEC, the driver
-should be carrier-independent and thus use IRQ(0) as a first bet -
-actually, the knowledge that IRQ0 may fail is carrier-dependent
-information, but using it doesn't make the driver unsuitable for other
-carriers.
-
-The return value of gpio_config is defined as follows:
-
- * If no pin in the array can be used by the carrier, `-ENODEV'.
-
- * If at least one virtual GPIO number cannot be mapped, `-ENOENT'.
-
- * On success, 0 or positive. The value returned is the number of
- high input bits (if no input is configured, the value for success
- is 0).
-
-While I admit the procedure is not completely straightforward, it
-allows configuration, input and output with a single carrier operation.
-Given the typical use case of FMC devices, GPIO operations are not
-expected to ever by in hot paths, and GPIO access so fare has only been
-used to configure the interrupt pin, mode and polarity. Especially
-reading inputs is not expected to be common. If your device has GPIO
-capabilities in the hot path, you should consider using the kernel's
-GPIO mechanisms.

-fmc-chardev
-===========
-
-This is a simple generic driver, that allows user access by means of a
-character device (actually, one for each mezzanine it takes hold of).
-
-The char device is created as a misc device. Its name in /dev (as
-created by udev) is the same name as the underlying FMC device. Thus,
-the name can be a silly fmc-0000 look-alike if the device has no
-identifiers nor bus_id, a more specific fmc-0400 if the device has a
-bus-specific address but no associated name, or something like
-fdelay-0400 if the FMC core can rely on both a mezzanine name and a bus
-address.
-
-Currently the driver only supports read and write: you can lseek to the
-desired address and read or write a register.
-
-The driver assumes all registers are 32-bit in size, and only accepts a
-single read or write per system call. However, as a result of Unix read
-and write semantics, users can simply fread or fwrite bigger areas in
-order to dump or store bigger memory areas.
-
-There is currently no support for mmap, user-space interrupt management
-and DMA buffers. They may be added in later versions, if the need
-arises.
-
-The example below shows raw access to a SPEC card programmed with its
-golden FPGA file, that features an SDB structure at offset 256 - i.e.
-64 words. The mezzanine's EEPROM in this case is not programmed, so the
-default name is fmc-<bus><devfn>, and there are two cards in the system:

-is not specific to FMC at all, it just uses lseek, read and write.
-
-Its first argument is the device name, the second the offset, the third

-fmc-fakedev
-===========

-it manages, this module creates a single instance of its set of

-
-You can also use this device to verify the match algorithms, by asking

-by means of the firmware loader. This example shows the defaults and a

-fmc-write-eeprom
-================
-
-This module is designed to load a binary file from /lib/firmware and to
-write it to the internal EEPROM of the mezzanine card. This driver uses
-the `busid' generic parameter.
-
-Overwriting the EEPROM is not something you should do daily, and it is
-expected to only happen during manufacturing. For this reason, the
-module makes it unlikely for the random user to change a working EEPROM.
-
-However, since the EEPROM may include application-specific information
-other than the identification, later versions of this packages added
-write-support through sysfs. See *note Accessing the EEPROM::.
-
-To avoid damaging the EEPROM content, the module takes the following
-measures:
-
- * It accepts a `file=' argument (within /lib/firmware) and if no
- such argument is received, it doesn't write anything to EEPROM
- (i.e. there is no default file name).
-
- * If the file name ends with `.bin' it is written verbatim starting
- at offset 0.
-
- * If the file name ends with `.tlv' it is interpreted as
- type-length-value (i.e., it allows writev(2)-like operation).
-
- * If the file name doesn't match any of the patterns above, it is
- ignored and no write is performed.
-
- * Only cards listed with `busid=' are written to. If no busid is
- specified, no programming is done (and the probe function of the
- driver will fail).
-
-
-Each TLV tuple is formatted in this way: the header is 5 bytes,
-followed by data. The first byte is `w' for write, the next two bytes
-represent the address, in little-endian byte order, and the next two
-represent the data length, in little-endian order. The length does not
-include the header (it is the actual number of bytes to be written).
-
-This is a real example: that writes 5 bytes at position 0x110:
-
- spusa.root# od -t x1 -Ax /lib/firmware/try.tlv
- 000000 77 10 01 05 00 30 31 32 33 34
- 00000a
- spusa.root# insmod /tmp/fmc-write-eeprom.ko busid=0x0200 file=try.tlv
- [19983.391498] spec 0000:03:00.0: write 5 bytes at 0x0110
- [19983.414615] spec 0000:03:00.0: write_eeprom: success
-
-Please note that you'll most likely want to use SDBFS to build your
-EEPROM image, at least if your mezzanines are being used in the White
-Rabbit environment. For this reason the TLV format is not expected to
-be used much and is not expected to be developed further.
-
-If you want to try reflashing fake EEPROM devices, you can use the
-fmc-fakedev.ko module (see *note fmc-fakedev::). Whenever you change
-the image starting at offset 0, it will deregister and register again
-after two seconds. Please note, however, that if fmc-write-eeprom is
-still loaded, the system will associate it to the new device, which
-will be reprogrammed and thus will be unloaded after two seconds. The
-following example removes the module after it reflashed fakedev the
-first time.

-Accessing the EEPROM
-=====================
-
-The bus creates a sysfs binary file called eeprom for each mezzanine it
-knows about:
-
- spusa.root# cd /sys/bus/fmc/devices; ls -l */eeprom
- -r--r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Feb 21 12:30 FmcAdc100m14b4cha-0800/eeprom

- -r--r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Feb 21 12:30 FmcDio5cha-0400/eeprom
-
-Everybody can read the files and the superuser can also modify it, but
-the operation may on the carrier driver, if the carrier is unable to
-access the I2C bus. For example, the spec driver can access the bus
-only with its golden gateware: after a mezzanine driver reprogrammed
-the FPGA with a custom circuit, the carrier is unable to access the
-EEPROM and returns ENOTSUPP.
-
-An alternative way to write the EEPROM is the mezzanine driver
-fmc-write-eeprom (See *note fmc-write-eeprom::), but the procedure is
-more complex.

-FMC Identification
-******************
-
-The FMC standard requires every compliant mezzanine to carry
-identification information in an I2C EEPROM. The information must be
-laid out according to the "IPMI Platform Management FRU Information",
-where IPMI is a lie I'd better not expand, and FRU means "Field
-Replaceable Unit".
-
-The FRU information is an intricate unreadable binary blob that must
-live at offset 0 of the EEPROM, and typically extends for a few hundred
-bytes. The standard allows the application to use all the remaining
-storage area of the EEPROM as it wants.
-
-This chapter explains how to create your own EEPROM image and how to
-write it in your mezzanine, as well as how devices and drivers are
-paired at run time. EEPROM programming uses tools that are part of this
-package and SDB (part of the fpga-config-space package).
-
-The first sections are only interesting for manufacturers who need to
-write the EEPROM. If you are just a software developer writing an FMC
-device or driver, you may jump straight to *note SDB Support::.
-
-
-Building the FRU Structure
-==========================
-
-If you want to know the internals of the FRU structure and despair, you
-can retrieve the document from
-`http://download.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/FRU1011.pdf' . The
-standard is awful and difficult without reason, so we only support the
-minimum mandatory subset - we create a simple structure and parse it
-back at run time, but we are not able to either generate or parse more
-arcane features like non-english languages and 6-bit text. If you need
-more items of the FRU standard for your boards, please submit patches.
-
-This package includes the Python script that Matthieu Cattin wrote to
-generate the FRU binary blob, based on an helper libipmi by Manohar
-Vanga and Matthieu himself. I changed the test script to receive
-parameters from the command line or from the environment (the command
-line takes precedence)
-
-To make a long story short, in order to build a standard-compliant
-binary file to be burned in your EEPROM, you need the following items:
-
- Environment Opt Official Name Default
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- FRU_VENDOR -v "Board Manufacturer" fmc-example
- FRU_NAME -n "Board Product Name" mezzanine
- FRU_SERIAL -s `Board Serial Number" 0001
- FRU_PART -p "Board Part Number" sample-part
- FRU_OUTPUT -o not applicable /dev/stdout
-
-The "Official Name" above is what you find in the FRU official
-documentation, chapter 11, page 7 ("Board Info Area Format"). The
-output option is used to save the generated binary to a specific file
-name instead of stdout.
-
-You can pass the items to the FRU generator either in the environment
-or on the command line. This package has currently no support for
-specifying power consumption or such stuff, but I plan to add it as
-soon as I find some time for that.
-
-FIXME: consumption etc for FRU are here or in PTS?
-
-The following example creates a binary image for a specific board:
-
- ./tools/fru-generator -v CERN -n FmcAdc100m14b4cha \
- -s HCCFFIA___-CR000003 -p EDA-02063-V5-0 > eeprom.bin
-
-The following example shows a script that builds several binary EEPROM
-images for a series of boards, changing the serial number for each of
-them. The script uses a mix of environment variables and command line
-options, and uses the same string patterns shown above.
-
- #!/bin/sh
-
- export FRU_VENDOR="CERN"
- export FRU_NAME="FmcAdc100m14b4cha"
- export FRU_PART="EDA-02063-V5-0"
-
- serial="HCCFFIA___-CR"
-
- for number in $(seq 1 50); do
- # build number-string "ns"
- ns="$(printf %06d $number)"
- ./fru-generator -s "${serial}${ns}" > eeprom-${ns}.bin
- done
-
-
-Using SDB-FS in the EEPROM
-==========================
-
-If you want to use SDB as a filesystem in the EEPROM device within the
-mezzanine, you should create one such filesystem using gensdbfs, from
-the fpga-config-space package on OHWR.
-
-By using an SBD filesystem you can cluster several files in a single
-EEPROM, so both the host system and a soft-core running in the FPGA (if
-any) can access extra production-time information.
-
-We chose to use SDB as a storage filesystem because the format is very
-simple, and both the host system and the soft-core will likely already
-include support code for such format. The SDB library offered by the
-fpga-config-space is less than 1kB under LM32, so it proves quite up to
-the task.
-
-The SDB entry point (which acts as a directory listing) cannot live at
-offset zero in the flash device, because the FRU information must live
-there. To avoid wasting precious storage space while still allowing
-for more-than-minimal FRU structures, the fmc.ko will look for the SDB
-record at address 256, 512 and 1024.
-
-In order to generate the complete EEPROM image you'll need a
-configuration file for gensdbfs: you tell the program where to place
-the sdb entry point, and you must force the FRU data file to be placed
-at the beginning of the storage device. If needed, you can also place
-other files at a special offset (we sometimes do it for backward
-compatibility with drivers we wrote before implementing SDB for flash
-memory).
-
-The directory tools/sdbfs of this package includes a well-commented
-example that you may want to use as a starting point (the comments are
-in the file called -SDB-CONFIG-). Reading documentation for gensdbfs
-is a suggested first step anyways.
-
-This package (generic FMC bus support) only accesses two files in the
-EEPROM: the FRU information, at offset zero, with a suggested filename
-of IPMI-FRU and the short name for the mezzanine, in a file called
-name. The IPMI-FRU name is not mandatory, but a strongly suggested
-choice; the name filename is mandatory, because this is the preferred
-short name used by the FMC core. For example, a name of "fdelay" may
-supplement a Product Name like "FmcDelay1ns4cha" - exactly as
-demonstrated in `tools/sdbfs'.
-
-Note: SDB access to flash memory is not yet supported, so the short
-name currently in use is just the "Product Name" FRU string.
-
-The example in tools/sdbfs includes an extra file, that is needed by
-the fine-delay driver, and must live at a known address of 0x1800. By
-running gensdbfs on that directory you can output your binary EEPROM
-image (here below spusa$ is the shell prompt):
-

-

-FMC Driver
-**********
-
-An FMC driver is concerned with the specific mezzanine and associated
-gateware. As such, it is expected to be independent of the carrier
-being used: it will perform I/O accesses only by means of
-carrier-provided functions.
-
-The matching between device and driver is based on the content of the
-EEPROM (as mandated by the FMC standard) or by the actual cores
-configured in the FPGA; the latter technique is used when the FPGA is
-already programmed when the device is registered to the bus core.
-
-In some special cases it is possible for a driver to directly access
-FPGA registers, by means of the `fpga_base' field of the device
-structure. This may be needed for high-bandwidth peripherals like fast
-ADC cards. If the device module registered a remote device (for example
-by means of Etherbone), the `fpga_base' pointer will be NULL.
-Therefore, drivers must be ready to deal with NULL base pointers, and
-fail gracefully. Most driver, however, are not expected to access the
-pointer directly but run fmc_readl and fmc_writel instead, which will
-work in any case.
-
-In even more special cases, the driver may access carrier-specific
-functionality: the `carrier_name' string allows the driver to check
-which is the current carrier and make use of the `carrier_data'
-pointer. We chose to use carrier names rather than numeric identifiers
-for greater flexibility, but also to avoid a central registry within
-the `fmc.h' file - we hope other users will exploit our framework with
-their own carriers. An example use of carrier names is in GPIO setup
-(see *note The GPIO Abstraction::), although the name match is not
-expected to be performed by the driver. If you depend on specific
-carriers, please check the carrier name and fail gracefully if your
-driver finds it is running in a yet-unknown-to-it environment.
-
-
-ID Table
-========
-
-Like most other Linux drivers, and FMC driver must list all the devices
-which it is able to drive. This is usually done by means of a device
-table, but in FMC we can match hardware based either on the contents of
-their EEPROM or on the actual FPGA cores that can be enumerated.
-Therefore, we have two tables of identifiers.
-
-Matching of FRU information depends on two names, the manufacturer (or
-vendor) and the device (see *note FMC Identification::); for
-flexibility during production (i.e. before writing to the EEPROM) the
-bus supports a catch-all driver that specifies NULL strings. For this
-reason, the table is specified as pointer-and-length, not a a
-null-terminated array - the entry with NULL names can be a valid entry.
-
-Matching on FPGA cores depends on two numeric fields: the 64-bit vendor
-number and the 32-bit device number. Support for matching based on
-class is not yet implemented. Each device is expected to be uniquely
-identified by an array of cores (it matches if all of the cores are
-instantiated), and for consistency the list is passed as
-pointer-and-length. Several similar devices can be driven by the same
-driver, and thus the driver specifies and array of such arrays.
-
-The complete set of involved data structures is thus the following:
-
- struct fmc_fru_id { char *manufacturer; char *product_name; };
- struct fmc_sdb_one_id { uint64_t vendor; uint32_t device; };
- struct fmc_sdb_id { struct fmc_sdb_one_id *cores; int cores_nr; };
-
- struct fmc_device_id {
- struct fmc_fru_id *fru_id; int fru_id_nr;
- struct fmc_sdb_id *sdb_id; int sdb_id_nr;
- };
-
-A better reference, with full explanation, is the <linux/fmc.h> header.
-
-
-Module Parameters
-=================
-
-Most of the FMC drivers need the same set of kernel parameters. This
-package includes support to implement common parameters by means of
-fields in the `fmc_driver' structure and simple macro definitions.
-
-The parameters are carrier-specific, in that they rely on the busid
-concept, that varies among carriers. For the SPEC, the identifier is a
-PCI bus and devfn number, 16 bits wide in total; drivers for other
-carriers will most likely offer something similar but not identical,
-and some code duplication is unavoidable.
-
-This is the list of parameters that are common to several modules to
-see how they are actually used, please look at spec-trivial.c.
-
-`busid='
- This is an array of integers, listing carrier-specific
- identification numbers. For PIC, for example, `0x0400' represents
- bus 4, slot 0. If any such ID is specified, the driver will only
- accept to drive cards that appear in the list (even if the FMC ID
- matches). This is accomplished by the validate carrier method.
-
-`gateware='
- The argument is an array of strings. If no busid= is specified,
- the first string of gateware= is used for all cards; otherwise the
- identifiers and gateware names are paired one by one, in the order
- specified.
-
-`show_sdb='
- For modules supporting it, this parameter asks to show the SDB
- internal structure by means of kernel messages. It is disabled by
- default because those lines tend to hide more important messages,
- if you look at the system console while loading the drivers.
- Note: the parameter is being obsoleted, because fmc.ko itself now
- supports dump_sdb= that applies to every client driver.
-
-
-For example, if you are using the trivial driver to load two different
-gateware files to two different cards, you can use the following
-parameters to load different binaries to the cards, after looking up
-the PCI identifiers. This has been tested with a SPEC carrier.
-
- insmod fmc-trivial.ko \
- busid=0x0200,0x0400 \
- gateware=fmc/fine-delay.bin,fmc/simple-dio.bin
-
-Please note that not all sub-modules support all of those parameters.
-You can use modinfo to check what is supported by each module.

-Module Parameters in fmc.ko
-***************************
-
-The core driver receives two module parameters, meant to help debugging
-client modules. Both parameters can be modified by writing to
-/sys/module/fmc/parameters/, because they are used when client drivers
-are devices are registered, not when fmc.ko is loaded.
-
-`dump_eeprom='
- If not zero, the parameter asks the bus controller to dump the
- EEPROM of any device that is registered, using printk.
-
-`dump_sdb='
- If not zero, the parameter prints the SDB tree of every FPGA it is
- loaded by fmc_reprogram(). If greater than one, it asks to dump
- the binary content of SDB records. This currently only dumps the
- top-level SDB array, though.
-
-
-EEPROM dumping avoids repeating lines, since most of the contents is
-usually empty and all bits are one or zero. This is an example of the

+Intel Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH)
+=================================
+
+A sensor hub enables the ability to offload sensor polling and algorithm
+processing to a dedicated low power co-processor. This allows the core
+processor to go into low power modes more often, resulting in the increased
+battery life.
+
+There are many vendors providing external sensor hubs confirming to HID
+Sensor usage tables, and used in several tablets, 2 in 1 convertible laptops
+and embedded products. Linux had this support since Linux 3.9.
+
+Intel® introduced integrated sensor hubs as a part of the SoC starting from
+Cherry Trail and now supported on multiple generations of CPU packages. There
+are many commercial devices already shipped with Integrated Sensor Hubs (ISH).
+These ISH also comply to HID sensor specification, but the difference is the
+transport protocol used for communication. The current external sensor hubs
+mainly use HID over i2C or USB. But ISH doesn't use either i2c or USB.
+
+1. Overview
+===========
+
+Using a analogy with a usbhid implementation, the ISH follows a similar model
+for a very high speed communication::
+
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ | USB HID | --> | ISH HID |
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ | USB protocol | --> | ISH Transport |
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ | EHCI/XHCI | --> | ISH IPC |
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ PCI PCI
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ |Host controller| --> | ISH processor |
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ USB Link
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+ | USB End points| --> | ISH Clients |
+ ----------------- ----------------------
+
+Like USB protocol provides a method for device enumeration, link management
+and user data encapsulation, the ISH also provides similar services. But it is
+very light weight tailored to manage and communicate with ISH client
+applications implemented in the firmware.
+
+The ISH allows multiple sensor management applications executing in the
+firmware. Like USB endpoints the messaging can be to/from a client. As part of
+enumeration process, these clients are identified. These clients can be simple
+HID sensor applications, sensor calibration application or senor firmware
+update application.
+
+The implementation model is similar, like USB bus, ISH transport is also
+implemented as a bus. Each client application executing in the ISH processor
+is registered as a device on this bus. The driver, which binds each device
+(ISH HID driver) identifies the device type and registers with the hid core.

+3. High level processing in above blocks
+========================================
+
+3.1 Hardware Interface
+----------------------
+
+The ISH is exposed as "Non-VGA unclassified PCI device" to the host. The PCI
+product and vendor IDs are changed from different generations of processors. So
+the source code which enumerate drivers needs to update from generation to
+generation.
+
+3.2 Inter Processor Communication (IPC) driver
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ipc
+
+The IPC message used memory mapped I/O. The registers are defined in
+hw-ish-regs.h.
+
+3.2.1 IPC/FW message types
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+There are two types of messages, one for management of link and other messages
+are to and from transport layers.
+
+TX and RX of Transport messages
+...............................
+
+A set of memory mapped register offers support of multi byte messages TX and
+RX (E.g.IPC_REG_ISH2HOST_MSG, IPC_REG_HOST2ISH_MSG). The IPC layer maintains
+internal queues to sequence messages and send them in order to the FW.
+Optionally the caller can register handler to get notification of completion.
+A door bell mechanism is used in messaging to trigger processing in host and
+client firmware side. When ISH interrupt handler is called, the ISH2HOST
+doorbell register is used by host drivers to determine that the interrupt
+is for ISH.
+
+Each side has 32 32-bit message registers and a 32-bit doorbell. Doorbell
+register has the following format:
+Bits 0..6: fragment length (7 bits are used)
+Bits 10..13: encapsulated protocol
+Bits 16..19: management command (for IPC management protocol)
+Bit 31: doorbell trigger (signal H/W interrupt to the other side)
+Other bits are reserved, should be 0.
+
+3.2.2 Transport layer interface
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To abstract HW level IPC communication, a set of callbacks are registered.
+The transport layer uses them to send and receive messages.
+Refer to struct ishtp_hw_ops for callbacks.
+
+3.3 ISH Transport layer
+-----------------------
+
+Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/
+
+3.3.1 A Generic Transport Layer
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The transport layer is a bi-directional protocol, which defines:
+- Set of commands to start, stop, connect, disconnect and flow control
+(ishtp/hbm.h) for details
+- A flow control mechanism to avoid buffer overflows
+
+This protocol resembles bus messages described in the following document:
+http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/technical-\
+specifications/dcmi-hi-1-0-spec.pdf "Chapter 7: Bus Message Layer"
+
+3.3.2 Connection and Flow Control Mechanism
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Each FW client and a protocol is identified by an UUID. In order to communicate
+to a FW client, a connection must be established using connect request and
+response bus messages. If successful, a pair (host_client_id and fw_client_id)
+will identify the connection.
+
+Once connection is established, peers send each other flow control bus messages
+independently. Every peer may send a message only if it has received a
+flow-control credit before. Once it sent a message, it may not send another one
+before receiving the next flow control credit.
+Either side can send disconnect request bus message to end communication. Also
+the link will be dropped if major FW reset occurs.
+
+3.3.3 Peer to Peer data transfer
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Peer to Peer data transfer can happen with or without using DMA. Depending on
+the sensor bandwidth requirement DMA can be enabled by using module parameter
+ishtp_use_dma under intel_ishtp.
+
+Each side (host and FW) manages its DMA transfer memory independently. When an
+ISHTP client from either host or FW side wants to send something, it decides
+whether to send over IPC or over DMA; for each transfer the decision is
+independent. The sending side sends DMA_XFER message when the message is in
+the respective host buffer (TX when host client sends, RX when FW client
+sends). The recipient of DMA message responds with DMA_XFER_ACK, indicating
+the sender that the memory region for that message may be reused.
+
+DMA initialization is started with host sending DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY bus message
+(that includes RX buffer) and FW responds with DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY_ACK.
+Additionally to DMA address communication, this sequence checks capabilities:
+if thw host doesn't support DMA, then it won't send DMA allocation, so FW can't
+send DMA; if FW doesn't support DMA then it won't respond with
+DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY_ACK, in which case host will not use DMA transfers.
+Here ISH acts as busmaster DMA controller. Hence when host sends DMA_XFER,
+it's request to do host->ISH DMA transfer; when FW sends DMA_XFER, it means
+that it already did DMA and the message resides at host. Thus, DMA_XFER
+and DMA_XFER_ACK act as ownership indicators.
+
+At initial state all outgoing memory belongs to the sender (TX to host, RX to
+FW), DMA_XFER transfers ownership on the region that contains ISHTP message to
+the receiving side, DMA_XFER_ACK returns ownership to the sender. A sender
+needs not wait for previous DMA_XFER to be ack'ed, and may send another message
+as long as remaining continuous memory in its ownership is enough.
+In principle, multiple DMA_XFER and DMA_XFER_ACK messages may be sent at once
+(up to IPC MTU), thus allowing for interrupt throttling.
+Currently, ISH FW decides to send over DMA if ISHTP message is more than 3 IPC
+fragments and via IPC otherwise.
+
+3.3.4 Ring Buffers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When a client initiate a connection, a ring or RX and TX buffers are allocated.
+The size of ring can be specified by the client. HID client set 16 and 32 for
+TX and RX buffers respectively. On send request from client, the data to be
+sent is copied to one of the send ring buffer and scheduled to be sent using
+bus message protocol. These buffers are required because the FW may have not
+have processed the last message and may not have enough flow control credits
+to send. Same thing holds true on receive side and flow control is required.
+
+3.3.5 Host Enumeration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The host enumeration bus command allow discovery of clients present in the FW.
+There can be multiple sensor clients and clients for calibration function.
+
+To ease in implantation and allow independent driver handle each client
+this transport layer takes advantage of Linux Bus driver model. Each
+client is registered as device on the the transport bus (ishtp bus).
+
+Enumeration sequence of messages:
+
+- Host sends HOST_START_REQ_CMD, indicating that host ISHTP layer is up.
+- FW responds with HOST_START_RES_CMD
+- Host sends HOST_ENUM_REQ_CMD (enumerate FW clients)
+- FW responds with HOST_ENUM_RES_CMD that includes bitmap of available FW
+ client IDs
+- For each FW ID found in that bitmap host sends
+ HOST_CLIENT_PROPERTIES_REQ_CMD
+- FW responds with HOST_CLIENT_PROPERTIES_RES_CMD. Properties include UUID,
+ max ISHTP message size, etc.
+- Once host received properties for that last discovered client, it considers
+ ISHTP device fully functional (and allocates DMA buffers)
+
+3.4 HID over ISH Client
+-----------------------
+
+Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid
+
+The ISHTP client driver is responsible for:
+
+- enumerate HID devices under FW ISH client
+- Get Report descriptor
+- Register with HID core as a LL driver
+- Process Get/Set feature request
+- Get input reports
+
+3.5 HID Sensor Hub MFD and IIO sensor drivers
+---------------------------------------------
+
+The functionality in these drivers is the same as an external sensor hub.
+Refer to
+Documentation/hid/hid-sensor.rst for HID sensor
+Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio for IIO ABIs to user space

-Intel Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH)
-===============================
-
-A sensor hub enables the ability to offload sensor polling and algorithm
-processing to a dedicated low power co-processor. This allows the core
-processor to go into low power modes more often, resulting in the increased
-battery life.
-
-There are many vendors providing external sensor hubs confirming to HID
-Sensor usage tables, and used in several tablets, 2 in 1 convertible laptops
-and embedded products. Linux had this support since Linux 3.9.
-
-Intel® introduced integrated sensor hubs as a part of the SoC starting from
-Cherry Trail and now supported on multiple generations of CPU packages. There
-are many commercial devices already shipped with Integrated Sensor Hubs (ISH).
-These ISH also comply to HID sensor specification, but the difference is the
-transport protocol used for communication. The current external sensor hubs
-mainly use HID over i2C or USB. But ISH doesn't use either i2c or USB.
-
-1. Overview
-
-Using a analogy with a usbhid implementation, the ISH follows a similar model
-for a very high speed communication:
-
- ----------------- ----------------------
- | USB HID | --> | ISH HID |
- ----------------- ----------------------
- ----------------- ----------------------
- | USB protocol | --> | ISH Transport |
- ----------------- ----------------------
- ----------------- ----------------------
- | EHCI/XHCI | --> | ISH IPC |
- ----------------- ----------------------
- PCI PCI
- ----------------- ----------------------
- |Host controller| --> | ISH processor |
- ----------------- ----------------------
- USB Link
- ----------------- ----------------------
- | USB End points| --> | ISH Clients |
- ----------------- ----------------------
-
-Like USB protocol provides a method for device enumeration, link management
-and user data encapsulation, the ISH also provides similar services. But it is
-very light weight tailored to manage and communicate with ISH client
-applications implemented in the firmware.
-
-The ISH allows multiple sensor management applications executing in the
-firmware. Like USB endpoints the messaging can be to/from a client. As part of
-enumeration process, these clients are identified. These clients can be simple
-HID sensor applications, sensor calibration application or senor firmware
-update application.
-
-The implementation model is similar, like USB bus, ISH transport is also
-implemented as a bus. Each client application executing in the ISH processor
-is registered as a device on this bus. The driver, which binds each device
-(ISH HID driver) identifies the device type and registers with the hid core.

- ----------------------------
-
-3. High level processing in above blocks
-
-3.1 Hardware Interface
-
-The ISH is exposed as "Non-VGA unclassified PCI device" to the host. The PCI
-product and vendor IDs are changed from different generations of processors. So
-the source code which enumerate drivers needs to update from generation to
-generation.
-
-3.2 Inter Processor Communication (IPC) driver
-Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ipc
-
-The IPC message used memory mapped I/O. The registers are defined in
-hw-ish-regs.h.
-
-3.2.1 IPC/FW message types
-
-There are two types of messages, one for management of link and other messages
-are to and from transport layers.
-
-TX and RX of Transport messages
-
-A set of memory mapped register offers support of multi byte messages TX and
-RX (E.g.IPC_REG_ISH2HOST_MSG, IPC_REG_HOST2ISH_MSG). The IPC layer maintains
-internal queues to sequence messages and send them in order to the FW.
-Optionally the caller can register handler to get notification of completion.
-A door bell mechanism is used in messaging to trigger processing in host and
-client firmware side. When ISH interrupt handler is called, the ISH2HOST
-doorbell register is used by host drivers to determine that the interrupt
-is for ISH.
-
-Each side has 32 32-bit message registers and a 32-bit doorbell. Doorbell
-register has the following format:
-Bits 0..6: fragment length (7 bits are used)
-Bits 10..13: encapsulated protocol
-Bits 16..19: management command (for IPC management protocol)
-Bit 31: doorbell trigger (signal H/W interrupt to the other side)
-Other bits are reserved, should be 0.
-
-3.2.2 Transport layer interface
-
-To abstract HW level IPC communication, a set of callbacks are registered.
-The transport layer uses them to send and receive messages.
-Refer to struct ishtp_hw_ops for callbacks.
-
-3.3 ISH Transport layer
-Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/
-
-3.3.1 A Generic Transport Layer
-
-The transport layer is a bi-directional protocol, which defines:
-- Set of commands to start, stop, connect, disconnect and flow control
-(ishtp/hbm.h) for details
-- A flow control mechanism to avoid buffer overflows
-
-This protocol resembles bus messages described in the following document:
-http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/technical-\
-specifications/dcmi-hi-1-0-spec.pdf "Chapter 7: Bus Message Layer"
-
-3.3.2 Connection and Flow Control Mechanism
-
-Each FW client and a protocol is identified by an UUID. In order to communicate
-to a FW client, a connection must be established using connect request and
-response bus messages. If successful, a pair (host_client_id and fw_client_id)
-will identify the connection.
-
-Once connection is established, peers send each other flow control bus messages
-independently. Every peer may send a message only if it has received a
-flow-control credit before. Once it sent a message, it may not send another one
-before receiving the next flow control credit.
-Either side can send disconnect request bus message to end communication. Also
-the link will be dropped if major FW reset occurs.
-
-3.3.3 Peer to Peer data transfer
-
-Peer to Peer data transfer can happen with or without using DMA. Depending on
-the sensor bandwidth requirement DMA can be enabled by using module parameter
-ishtp_use_dma under intel_ishtp.
-
-Each side (host and FW) manages its DMA transfer memory independently. When an
-ISHTP client from either host or FW side wants to send something, it decides
-whether to send over IPC or over DMA; for each transfer the decision is
-independent. The sending side sends DMA_XFER message when the message is in
-the respective host buffer (TX when host client sends, RX when FW client
-sends). The recipient of DMA message responds with DMA_XFER_ACK, indicating
-the sender that the memory region for that message may be reused.
-
-DMA initialization is started with host sending DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY bus message
-(that includes RX buffer) and FW responds with DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY_ACK.
-Additionally to DMA address communication, this sequence checks capabilities:
-if thw host doesn't support DMA, then it won't send DMA allocation, so FW can't
-send DMA; if FW doesn't support DMA then it won't respond with
-DMA_ALLOC_NOTIFY_ACK, in which case host will not use DMA transfers.
-Here ISH acts as busmaster DMA controller. Hence when host sends DMA_XFER,
-it's request to do host->ISH DMA transfer; when FW sends DMA_XFER, it means
-that it already did DMA and the message resides at host. Thus, DMA_XFER
-and DMA_XFER_ACK act as ownership indicators.
-
-At initial state all outgoing memory belongs to the sender (TX to host, RX to
-FW), DMA_XFER transfers ownership on the region that contains ISHTP message to
-the receiving side, DMA_XFER_ACK returns ownership to the sender. A sender
-needs not wait for previous DMA_XFER to be ack'ed, and may send another message
-as long as remaining continuous memory in its ownership is enough.
-In principle, multiple DMA_XFER and DMA_XFER_ACK messages may be sent at once
-(up to IPC MTU), thus allowing for interrupt throttling.
-Currently, ISH FW decides to send over DMA if ISHTP message is more than 3 IPC
-fragments and via IPC otherwise.
-
-3.3.4 Ring Buffers
-
-When a client initiate a connection, a ring or RX and TX buffers are allocated.
-The size of ring can be specified by the client. HID client set 16 and 32 for
-TX and RX buffers respectively. On send request from client, the data to be
-sent is copied to one of the send ring buffer and scheduled to be sent using
-bus message protocol. These buffers are required because the FW may have not
-have processed the last message and may not have enough flow control credits
-to send. Same thing holds true on receive side and flow control is required.
-
-3.3.5 Host Enumeration
-
-The host enumeration bus command allow discovery of clients present in the FW.
-There can be multiple sensor clients and clients for calibration function.
-
-To ease in implantation and allow independent driver handle each client
-this transport layer takes advantage of Linux Bus driver model. Each
-client is registered as device on the the transport bus (ishtp bus).
-
-Enumeration sequence of messages:
-- Host sends HOST_START_REQ_CMD, indicating that host ISHTP layer is up.
-- FW responds with HOST_START_RES_CMD
-- Host sends HOST_ENUM_REQ_CMD (enumerate FW clients)
-- FW responds with HOST_ENUM_RES_CMD that includes bitmap of available FW
-client IDs
-- For each FW ID found in that bitmap host sends
-HOST_CLIENT_PROPERTIES_REQ_CMD
-- FW responds with HOST_CLIENT_PROPERTIES_RES_CMD. Properties include UUID,
-max ISHTP message size, etc.
-- Once host received properties for that last discovered client, it considers
-ISHTP device fully functional (and allocates DMA buffers)
-
-3.4 HID over ISH Client
-Location: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid
-
-The ISHTP client driver is responsible for:
-- enumerate HID devices under FW ISH client
-- Get Report descriptor
-- Register with HID core as a LL driver
-- Process Get/Set feature request
-- Get input reports
-
-3.5 HID Sensor Hub MFD and IIO sensor drivers
-
-The functionality in these drivers is the same as an external sensor hub.
-Refer to
-Documentation/hid/hid-sensor.txt for HID sensor
-Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio for IIO ABIs to user space

+Description
+-----------
+
+PXE1610/PXE1110 are Multi-rail/Multiphase Digital Controllers
+and compliant to
+ -- Intel VR13 DC-DC converter specifications.
+ -- Intel SVID protocol.
+Used for Vcore power regulation for Intel VR13 based microprocessors
+ -- Servers, Workstations, and High-end desktops
+
+PXM1310 is a Multi-rail Controller and it is compliant to
+ -- Intel VR13 DC-DC converter specifications.
+ -- Intel SVID protocol.
+Used for DDR3/DDR4 Memory power regulation for Intel VR13 and
+IMVP8 based systems
+
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not probe for PMBus devices. You will have
+to instantiate devices explicitly.
+
+Example: the following commands will load the driver for an PXE1610
+at address 0x70 on I2C bus #4:
+
+# modprobe pxe1610
+# echo pxe1610 0x70 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-4/new_device

-
-Description of the Interface between Linklevel and Hardwarelevel
- of isdn4linux:
-
-
- The Communication between Linklevel (LL) and Hardwarelevel (HL)
- is based on the struct isdn_if (defined in isdnif.h).
-
- An HL-driver can register itself at LL by calling the function
- register_isdn() with a pointer to that struct. Prior to that, it has
- to preset some of the fields of isdn_if. The LL sets the rest of
- the fields. All further communication is done via callbacks using
- the function-pointers defined in isdn_if.
-
- Changes/Version numbering:
-
- During development of the ISDN subsystem, several changes have been
- made to the interface. Before it went into kernel, the package
- had a unique version number. The last version, distributed separately
- was 0.7.4. When the subsystem went into kernel, every functional unit
- got a separate version number. These numbers are shown at initialization,
- separated by slashes:
-
- c.c/t.t/n.n/p.p/a.a/v.v
-
- where
-
- c.c is the revision of the common code.
- t.t is the revision of the tty related code.
- n.n is the revision of the network related code.
- p.p is the revision of the ppp related code.
- a.a is the revision of the audio related code.
- v.v is the revision of the V.110 related code.
-
- Changes in this document are marked with '***CHANGEx' where x representing
- the version number. If that number starts with 0, it refers to the old,
- separately distributed package. If it starts with one of the letters
- above, it refers to the revision of the corresponding module.
- ***CHANGEIx refers to the revision number of the isdnif.h
-
-1. Description of the fields of isdn_if:
-
- int channels;
-
- This field has to be set by the HL-driver to the number of channels
- supported prior to calling register_isdn(). Upon return of the call,
- the LL puts an id there, which has to be used by the HL-driver when
- invoking the other callbacks.
-
- int maxbufsize;
-
- ***CHANGE0.6: New since this version.
-
- Also to be preset by the HL-driver. With this value the HL-driver
- tells the LL the maximum size of a data-packet it will accept.
-
- unsigned long features;
-
- To be preset by the HL-driver. Using this field, the HL-driver
- announces the features supported. At the moment this is limited to
- report the supported layer2 and layer3-protocols. For setting this
- field the constants ISDN_FEATURE..., declared in isdnif.h have to be
- used.
-
- ***CHANGE0.7.1: The line type (1TR6, EDSS1) has to be set.
-
- unsigned short hl_hdrlen;
-
- ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field.
-
- To be preset by the HL-driver, if it supports sk_buff's. The driver
- should put here the amount of additional space needed in sk_buff's for
- its internal purposes. Drivers not supporting sk_buff's should
- initialize this field to 0.
-
- void (*rcvcallb_skb)(int, int, struct sk_buff *)
-
- ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field.
-
- This field will be set by LL. The HL-driver delivers received data-
- packets by calling this function. Upon calling, the HL-driver must
- already have its private data pulled off the head of the sk_buff.
-
- Parameter:
- int driver-Id
- int Channel-number locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
- struct sk_buff * Pointer to sk_buff, containing received data.
-
- int (*statcallb)(isdn_ctrl*);
-
- This field will be set by LL. This function has to be called by the
- HL-driver for signaling status-changes or other events to the LL.
-
- Parameter:
- isdn_ctrl*
-
- The struct isdn_ctrl also defined in isdn_if. The exact meanings of its
- fields are described together with the descriptions of the possible
- events. Here is only a short description of the fields:
-
- driver = driver Id.
- command = event-type. (one of the constants ISDN_STAT_...)
- arg = depends on event-type.
- num = depends on event-type.
-
- Returnvalue:
- 0 on success, else -1
-
- int (*command)(isdn_ctrl*);
-
- This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. It points to a function,
- to be called by LL to perform functions like dialing, B-channel
- setup, etc. The exact meaning of the parameters is described with the
- descriptions of the possible commands.
-
- Parameter:
- isdn_ctrl*
- driver = driver-Id
- command = command to perform. (one of the constants ISDN_CMD_...)
- arg = depends on command.
- num = depends on command.
-
- Returnvalue:
- >=0 on success, else error-code (-ENODEV etc.)
-
- int (*writebuf_skb)(int, int, int, struct sk_buff *)
-
- ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field.
- ***CHANGEI.1.21: New field.
-
- This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. The given function will
- be called by the LL for delivering data to be send via B-Channel.
-
-
- Parameter:
- int driver-Id ***CHANGE0.7.4: New parameter.
- int channel-number locally to the HL-driver. (starts with 0)
- int ack ***ChangeI1.21: New parameter
- If this is !0, the driver has to signal the delivery
- by sending an ISDN_STAT_BSENT. If this is 0, the driver
- MUST NOT send an ISDN_STAT_BSENT.
- struct sk_buff * Pointer to sk_buff containing data to be send via
- B-channel.
-
- Returnvalue:
- Length of data accepted on success, else error-code (-EINVAL on
- oversized packets etc.)
-
- int (*writecmd)(u_char*, int, int, int, int);
-
- This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. The given function will be
- called to perform write-requests on /dev/isdnctrl (i.e. sending commands
- to the card) The data-format is hardware-specific. This function is
- intended for debugging only. It is not necessary for normal operation
- and never will be called by the tty-emulation- or network-code. If
- this function is not supported, the driver has to set NULL here.
-
- Parameter:
- u_char* pointer to data.
- int length of data.
- int flag: 0 = call from within kernel-space. (HL-driver must use
- memcpy, may NOT use schedule())
- 1 = call from user-space. (HL-driver must use
- memcpy_fromfs, use of schedule() allowed)
- int driver-Id.
- int channel-number locally to the HL-driver. (starts with 0)
-
-***CHANGEI1.14: The driver-Id and channel-number are new since this revision.
-
- Returnvalue:
- Length of data accepted on success, else error-code (-EINVAL etc.)
-
- int (*readstat)(u_char*, int, int, int, int);
-
- This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. The given function will be
- called to perform read-requests on /dev/isdnctrl (i.e. reading replies
- from the card) The data-format is hardware-specific. This function is
- intended for debugging only. It is not necessary for normal operation
- and never will be called by the tty-emulation- or network-code. If
- this function is not supported, the driver has to set NULL here.
-
- Parameter:
- u_char* pointer to data.
- int length of data.
- int flag: 0 = call from within kernel-space. (HL-driver must use

- memcpy_fromfs, use of schedule() allowed)
- int driver-Id.
- int channel-number locally to the HL-driver. (starts with 0)
-
-***CHANGEI1.14: The driver-Id and channel-number are new since this revision.
-
- Returnvalue:
- Length of data on success, else error-code (-EINVAL etc.)
-
- char id[20];
- ***CHANGE0.7: New since this version.
-
- This string has to be preset by the HL-driver. Its purpose is for
- identification of the driver by the user. Eg.: it is shown in the
- status-info of /dev/isdninfo. Furthermore it is used as Id for binding
- net-interfaces to a specific channel. If a string of length zero is
- given, upon return, isdn4linux will replace it by a generic name. (line0,
- line1 etc.) It is recommended to make this string configurable during
- module-load-time. (copy a global variable to this string.) For doing that,
- modules 1.2.8 or newer are necessary.
-
-2. Description of the commands, a HL-driver has to support:
-
- All commands will be performed by calling the function command() described
- above from within the LL. The field command of the struct-parameter will
- contain the desired command, the field driver is always set to the
- appropriate driver-Id.
-
- Until now, the following commands are defined:
-
-***CHANGEI1.34: The parameter "num" has been replaced by a union "parm" containing
- the old "num" and a new setup_type struct used for ISDN_CMD_DIAL
- and ISDN_STAT_ICALL callback.
-
- ISDN_CMD_IOCTL:
-
- This command is intended for performing ioctl-calls for configuring
- hardware or similar purposes (setting port-addresses, loading firmware
- etc.) For this purpose, in the LL all ioctl-calls with an argument
- >= IIOCDRVCTL (0x100) will be handed transparently to this
- function after subtracting 0x100 and placing the result in arg.
- Example:
- If a userlevel-program calls ioctl(0x101,...) the function gets
- called with the field command set to 1.
-
- Parameter:
- driver = driver-Id.
- command = ISDN_CMD_IOCTL
- arg = Original ioctl-cmd - IIOCDRVCTL
- parm.num = first bytes filled with (unsigned long)arg
-
- Returnvalue:
- Depending on driver.
-
-
- ISDN_CMD_DIAL:
-
- This command is used to tell the HL-driver it should dial a given
- number.
-
- Parameter:
- driver = driver-Id.

-
- parm.setup.phone = An ASCII-String containing the number to dial.
- parm.setup.eazmsn = An ASCII-Sting containing the own EAZ or MSN.
- parm.setup.si1 = The Service-Indicator.
- parm.setup.si2 = Additional Service-Indicator.
-
- If the Line has been designed as SPV (a special german
- feature, meaning semi-leased-line) the phone has to
- start with an "S".
- ***CHANGE0.6: In previous versions the EAZ has been given in the
- highbyte of arg.
- ***CHANGE0.7.1: New since this version: ServiceIndicator and AddInfo.

-
-Description of the fax-subinterface between linklevel and hardwarelevel of
- isdn4linux.
-
- The communication between linklevel (LL) and hardwarelevel (HL) for fax
- is based on the struct T30_s (defined in isdnif.h).
- This struct is allocated in the LL.
- In order to use fax, the LL provides the pointer to this struct with the
- command ISDN_CMD_SETL3 (parm.fax). This pointer expires in case of hangup
- and when a new channel to a new connection is assigned.
-
-
-Data handling:
- In send-mode the HL-driver has to handle the <DLE> codes and the bit-order
- conversion by itself.
- In receive-mode the LL-driver takes care of the bit-order conversion
- (specified by +FBOR)
-
-Structure T30_s description:
-
- This structure stores the values (set by AT-commands), the remote-
- capability-values and the command-codes between LL and HL.
-
- If the HL-driver receives ISDN_CMD_FAXCMD, all needed information
- is in this struct set by the LL.
- To signal information to the LL, the HL-driver has to set the
- parameters and use ISDN_STAT_FAXIND.
- (Please refer to INTERFACE)
-
-Structure T30_s:
-
- All members are 8-bit unsigned (__u8)
-
- - resolution
- - rate
- - width
- - length
- - compression
- - ecm
- - binary
- - scantime

- - r_resolution
- - r_rate
- - r_width
- - r_length
- - r_compression
- - r_ecm
- - r_binary
- - r_scantime
- - r_id[]
- Remote faxmachine's parameters. To be set by HL-driver.
-
- - phase
- Defines the actual state of fax connection. Set by HL or LL
- depending on progress and type of connection.
- If the phase changes because of an AT command, the LL driver
- changes this value. Otherwise the HL-driver takes care of it, but
- only necessary on call establishment (from IDLE to PHASE_A).
- (one of the constants ISDN_FAX_PHASE_[IDLE,A,B,C,D,E])
-
- - direction
- Defines outgoing/send or incoming/receive connection.
- (ISDN_TTY_FAX_CONN_[IN,OUT])
-

-
- ISDN_TTY_FAX_SENT signals that all data has been sent
- and <DLE><ETX> is acknowledged,
- OK message will be sent.
-
- ISDN_TTY_FAX_PTS signals a msg-confirmation (page sent successful),
- depending on fet value:
- 0: output OK message (more pages follow)
- 1: switching to phase B (next document)

-README for the ISDN-subsystem
-
-1. Preface
-
- 1.1 Introduction
-
- This README describes how to set up and how to use the different parts
- of the ISDN-subsystem.
-
- For using the ISDN-subsystem, some additional userlevel programs are
- necessary. Those programs and some contributed utilities are available
- at
-
- ftp.isdn4linux.de
-
- /pub/isdn4linux/isdn4k-utils-<VersionNumber>.tar.gz
-
-
- We also have set up a mailing-list:
-
- The isdn4linux-project originates in Germany, and therefore by historical
- reasons, the mailing-list's primary language is german. However mails
- written in english have been welcome all the time.
-
- to subscribe: write a email to majordomo@listserv.isdn4linux.de,
- Subject irrelevant, in the message body:
- subscribe isdn4linux <your_email_address>
-
- To write to the mailing-list, write to isdn4linux@listserv.isdn4linux.de
-
- This mailinglist is bidirectionally gated to the newsgroup
-
- de.alt.comm.isdn4linux
-
- There is also a well maintained FAQ in English available at
- https://www.mhessler.de/i4lfaq/
- It can be viewed online, or downloaded in sgml/text/html format.
- The FAQ can also be viewed online at
- https://www.isdn4linux.de/faq/i4lfaq.html
- or downloaded from
- ftp://ftp.isdn4linux.de/pub/isdn4linux/FAQ/
-
- 1.1 Technical details
-
- In the following Text, the terms MSN and EAZ are used.
-
- MSN is the abbreviation for (M)ultiple(S)ubscriber(N)umber, and applies
- to Euro(EDSS1)-type lines. Usually it is simply the phone number.
-
- EAZ is the abbreviation of (E)ndgeraete(A)uswahl(Z)iffer and
- applies to German 1TR6-type lines. This is a one-digit string,
- simply appended to the base phone number
-
- The internal handling is nearly identical, so replace the appropriate
- term to that one, which applies to your local ISDN-environment.
-
- When the link-level-module isdn.o is loaded, it supports up to 16
- low-level-modules with up to 64 channels. (The number 64 is arbitrarily
- chosen and can be configured at compile-time --ISDN_MAX in isdn.h).
- A low-level-driver can register itself through an interface (which is
- defined in isdnif.h) and gets assigned a slot.
- The following char-devices are made available for each channel:
-
- A raw-control-device with the following functions:
- write: raw D-channel-messages (format: depends on driver).
- read: raw D-channel-messages (format: depends on driver).
- ioctl: depends on driver, i.e. for the ICN-driver, the base-address of
- the ports and the shared memory on the card can be set and read
- also the boot-code and the protocol software can be loaded into
- the card.
-
- O N L Y !!! for debugging (no locking against other devices):
- One raw-data-device with the following functions:
- write: data to B-channel.
- read: data from B-channel.
-
- In addition the following devices are made available:
-
- 128 tty-devices (64 cuix and 64 ttyIx) with integrated modem-emulator:
- The functionality is almost the same as that of a serial device
- (the line-discs are handled by the kernel), which lets you run
- SLIP, CSLIP and asynchronous PPP through the devices. We have tested
- Seyon, minicom, CSLIP (uri-dip) PPP, mgetty, XCept and Hylafax.
-
- The modem-emulation supports the following:
- 1.3.1 Commands:
-
- ATA Answer incoming call.
- ATD<No.> Dial, the number may contain:
- [0-9] and [,#.*WPT-S]
- the latter are ignored until 'S'.
- The 'S' must precede the number, if
- the line is a SPV (German 1TR6).
- ATE0 Echo off.
- ATE1 Echo on (default).
- ATH Hang-up.
- ATH1 Off hook (ignored).
- ATH0 Hang-up.
- ATI Return "ISDN for Linux...".
- ATI0 "
- ATI1 "
- ATI2 Report of last connection.
- ATO On line (data mode).
- ATQ0 Enable result codes (default).
- ATQ1 Disable result codes (default).
- ATSx=y Set register x to y.
- ATSx? Show contents of register x.
- ATV0 Numeric responses.
- ATV1 English responses (default).
- ATZ Load registers and EAZ/MSN from Profile.
- AT&Bx Set Send-Packet-size to x (max. 4000)
- The real packet-size may be limited by the
- low-level-driver used. e.g. the HiSax-Module-
- limit is 2000. You will get NO Error-Message,
- if you set it to higher values, because at the
- time of giving this command the corresponding
- driver may not be selected (see "Automatic
- Assignment") however the size of outgoing packets
- will be limited correctly.
- AT&D0 Ignore DTR
- AT&D2 DTR-low-edge: Hang up and return to
- command mode (default).
- AT&D3 Same as AT&D2 but also resets all registers.
- AT&Ex Set the EAZ/MSN for this channel to x.
- AT&F Reset all registers and profile to "factory-defaults"
- AT&Lx Set list of phone numbers to listen on. x is a
- list of wildcard patterns separated by semicolon.
- If this is set, it has precedence over the MSN set
- by AT&E.
- AT&Rx Select V.110 bitrate adaption.
- This command enables V.110 protocol with 9600 baud
- (x=9600), 19200 baud (x=19200) or 38400 baud
- (x=38400). A value of x=0 disables V.110 switching
- back to default X.75. This command sets the following
- Registers:
- Reg 14 (Layer-2 protocol):
- x = 0: 0
- x = 9600: 7
- x = 19200: 8
- x = 38400: 9
- Reg 18.2 = 1
- Reg 19 (Additional Service Indicator):
- x = 0: 0
- x = 9600: 197
- x = 19200: 199
- x = 38400: 198
- Note on value in Reg 19:
- There is _NO_ common convention for 38400 baud.
- The value 198 is chosen arbitrarily. Users
- _MUST_ negotiate this value before establishing
- a connection.
- AT&Sx Set window-size (x = 1..8) (not yet implemented)
- AT&V Show all settings.
- AT&W0 Write registers and EAZ/MSN to profile. See also
- iprofd (5.c in this README).
- AT&X0 BTX-mode and T.70-mode off (default)
- AT&X1 BTX-mode on. (S13.1=1, S13.5=0 S14=0, S16=7, S18=7, S19=0)
- AT&X2 T.70-mode on. (S13.1=1, S13.5=1, S14=0, S16=7, S18=7, S19=0)
- AT+Rx Resume a suspended call with CallID x (x = 1,2,3...)
- AT+Sx Suspend a call with CallID x (x = 1,2,3...)
-
- For voice-mode commands refer to README.audio
-
- 1.3.2 Escape sequence:
- During a connection, the emulation reacts just like
- a normal modem to the escape sequence <DELAY>+++<DELAY>.
- (The escape character - default '+' - can be set in the
- register 2).
- The DELAY must at least be 1.5 seconds long and delay
- between the escape characters must not exceed 0.5 seconds.
-
- 1.3.3 Registers:
-
- Nr. Default Description
- 0 0 Answer on ring number.
- (no auto-answer if S0=0).
- 1 0 Count of rings.
- 2 43 Escape character.
- (a value >= 128 disables the escape sequence).
- 3 13 Carriage return character (ASCII).
- 4 10 Line feed character (ASCII).
- 5 8 Backspace character (ASCII).
- 6 3 Delay in seconds before dialing.
- 7 60 Wait for carrier.
- 8 2 Pause time for comma (ignored)
- 9 6 Carrier detect time (ignored)

- 1 = Show response messages.
- Bit 1: 0 = English response messages.
- 1 = Numeric response messages.
- Bit 2: 0 = Echo off.
- 1 = Echo on.
- Bit 3 0 = DCD always on.
- 1 = DCD follows carrier.
- Bit 4 0 = CTS follows RTS
- 1 = Ignore RTS, CTS always on.
- Bit 5 0 = return to command mode on DTR low.
- 1 = Same as 0 but also resets all
- registers.
- See also register 13, bit 2
- Bit 6 0 = DSR always on.
- 1 = DSR only on if channel is available.
- Bit 7 0 = Cisco-PPP-flag-hack off (default).
- 1 = Cisco-PPP-flag-hack on.

-
- Last but not least a (at the moment fairly primitive) device to request
- the line-status (/dev/isdninfo) is made available.
-
- Automatic assignment of devices to lines:
-
- All inactive physical lines are listening to all EAZs for incoming
- calls and are NOT assigned to a specific tty or network interface.
- When an incoming call is detected, the driver looks first for a network
- interface and then for an opened tty which:
-
- 1. is configured for the same EAZ.
- 2. has the same protocol settings for the B-channel.
- 3. (only for network interfaces if the security flag is set)
- contains the caller number in its access list.
- 4. Either the channel is not bound exclusively to another Net-interface, or
- it is bound AND the other checks apply to exactly this interface.
- (For usage of the bind-features, refer to the isdnctrl-man-page)
-
- Only when a matching interface or tty is found is the call accepted
- and the "connection" between the low-level-layer and the link-level-layer
- is established and kept until the end of the connection.
- In all other cases no connection is established. Isdn4linux can be
- configured to either do NOTHING in this case (which is useful, if
- other, external devices with the same EAZ/MSN are connected to the bus)
- or to reject the call actively. (isdnctrl busreject ...)
-
- For an outgoing call, the inactive physical lines are searched.
- The call is placed on the first physical line, which supports the
- requested protocols for the B-channel. If a net-interface, however
- is pre-bound to a channel, this channel is used directly.
-
- This makes it possible to configure several network interfaces and ttys
- for one EAZ, if the network interfaces are set to secure operation.
- If an incoming call matches one network interface, it gets connected to it.
- If another incoming call for the same EAZ arrives, which does not match
- a network interface, the first tty gets a "RING" and so on.
-
-2 System prerequisites:
-
- ATTENTION!
-
- Always use the latest module utilities. The current version is
- named in Documentation/Changes. Some old versions of insmod
- are not capable of setting the driver-Ids correctly.
-
-3. Lowlevel-driver configuration.
-
- Configuration depends on how the drivers are built. See the
- README.<yourDriver> for information on driver-specific setup.
-
-4. Device-inodes
-
- The major and minor numbers and their names are described in
- Documentation/admin-guide/devices.rst. The major numbers are:
-
- 43 for the ISDN-tty's.
- 44 for the ISDN-callout-tty's.
- 45 for control/info/debug devices.
-
-5. Application
-
- a) For some card-types, firmware has to be loaded into the cards, before
- proceeding with device-independent setup. See README.<yourDriver>
- for how to do that.
-
- b) If you only intend to use ttys, you are nearly ready now.
-
- c) If you want to have really permanent "Modem"-settings on disk, you
- can start the daemon iprofd. Give it a path to a file at the command-
- line. It will store the profile-settings in this file every time
- an AT&W0 is performed on any ISDN-tty. If the file already exists,
- all profiles are initialized from this file. If you want to unload
- any of the modules, kill iprofd first.
-
- d) For networking, continue: Create an interface:
- isdnctrl addif isdn0
-
- e) Set the EAZ (or MSN for Euro-ISDN):
- isdnctrl eaz isdn0 2
-
- (For 1TR6 a single digit is allowed, for Euro-ISDN the number is your
- real MSN e.g.: Phone-Number)
-
- f) Set the number for outgoing calls on the interface:
- isdnctrl addphone isdn0 out 1234567
- ... (this can be executed more than once, all assigned numbers are
- tried in order)
- and the number(s) for incoming calls:
- isdnctrl addphone isdn0 in 1234567
-
- g) Set the timeout for hang-up:
- isdnctrl huptimeout isdn0 <timeout_in_seconds>
-
- h) additionally you may activate charge-hang-up (= Hang up before
- next charge-info, this only works, if your isdn-provider transmits
- the charge-info during and after the connection):
- isdnctrl chargehup isdn0 on
-
- i) Set the dial mode of the interface:
- isdnctrl dialmode isdn0 auto
- "off" means that you (or the system) cannot make any connection
- (neither incoming or outgoing connections are possible). Use
- this if you want to be sure that no connections will be made.
- "auto" means that the interface is in auto-dial mode, and will
- attempt to make a connection whenever a network data packet needs
- the interface's link. Note that this can cause unexpected dialouts,
- and lead to a high phone bill! Some daemons or other pc's that use
- this interface can cause this.
- Incoming connections are also possible.
- "manual" is a dial mode created to prevent the unexpected dialouts.
- In this mode, the interface will never make any connections on its
- own. You must explicitly initiate a connection with "isdnctrl dial
- isdn0". However, after an idle time of no traffic as configured for
- the huptimeout value with isdnctrl, the connection _will_ be ended.
- If you don't want any automatic hangup, set the huptimeout value to 0.
- "manual" is the default.
-
- j) Setup the interface with ifconfig as usual, and set a route to it.
-
- k) (optional) If you run X11 and have Tcl/Tk-wish version 4.0, you can use
- the script tools/tcltk/isdnmon. You can add actions for line-status
- changes. See the comments at the beginning of the script for how to
- do that. There are other tty-based tools in the tools-subdirectory
- contributed by Michael Knigge (imon), Volker Götz (imontty) and
- Andreas Kool (isdnmon).
-
- l) For initial testing, you can set the verbose-level to 2 (default: 0).
- Then all incoming calls are logged, even if they are not addressed
- to one of the configured net-interfaces:
- isdnctrl verbose 2
-
- Now you are ready! A ping to the set address should now result in an
- automatic dial-out (look at syslog kernel-messages).
- The phone numbers and EAZs can be assigned at any time with isdnctrl.
- You can add as many interfaces as you like with addif following the
- directions above. Of course, there may be some limitations. But we have
- tested as many as 20 interfaces without any problem. However, if you
- don't give an interface name to addif, the kernel will assign a name
- which starts with "eth". The number of "eth"-interfaces is limited by
- the kernel.
-
-5. Additional options for isdnctrl:
-
- "isdnctrl secure <InterfaceName> on"
- Only incoming calls, for which the caller-id is listed in the access
- list of the interface are accepted. You can add caller-id's With the
- command "isdnctrl addphone <InterfaceName> in <caller-id>"
- Euro-ISDN does not transmit the leading '0' of the caller-id for an
- incoming call, therefore you should configure it accordingly.
- If the real number for the dialout e.g. is "09311234567" the number
- to configure here is "9311234567". The pattern-match function
- works similar to the shell mechanism.
-
- ? one arbitrary digit
- * zero or arbitrary many digits
- [123] one of the digits in the list
- [1-5] one digit between '1' and '5'
- a '^' as the first character in a list inverts the list
-
-
- "isdnctrl secure <InterfaceName> off"
- Switch off secure operation (default).
-
- "isdnctrl ihup <InterfaceName> [on|off]"
- Switch the hang-up-timer for incoming calls on or off.
-
- "isdnctrl eaz <InterfaceName>"
- Returns the EAZ of an interface.
-
- "isdnctrl delphone <InterfaceName> in|out <number>"
- Deletes a number from one of the access-lists of the interface.
-
- "isdnctrl delif <InterfaceName>"
- Removes the interface (and possible slaves) from the kernel.
- (You have to unregister it with "ifconfig <InterfaceName> down" before).
-
- "isdnctrl callback <InterfaceName> [on|off]"
- Switches an interface to callback-mode. In this mode, an incoming call
- will be rejected and after this the remote-station will be called. If
- you test this feature by using ping, some routers will re-dial very
- quickly, so that the callback from isdn4linux may not be recognized.
- In this case use ping with the option -i <sec> to increase the interval
- between echo-packets.
-
- "isdnctrl cbdelay <InterfaceName> [seconds]"
- Sets the delay (default 5 sec) between an incoming call and start of
- dialing when callback is enabled.
-
- "isdnctrl cbhup <InterfaceName> [on|off]"
- This enables (default) or disables an active hangup (reject) when getting an
- incoming call for an interface which is configured for callback.
-
- "isdnctrl encap <InterfaceName> <EncapType>"
- Selects the type of packet-encapsulation. The encapsulation can be changed
- only while an interface is down.
-
- At the moment the following values are supported:
-
- rawip (Default) Selects raw-IP-encapsulation. This means, MAC-headers
- are stripped off.
- ip IP with type-field. Same as IP but the type-field of the MAC-header
- is preserved.
- x25iface X.25 interface encapsulation (first byte semantics as defined in
- ../networking/x25-iface.txt). Use this for running the linux
- X.25 network protocol stack (AF_X25 sockets) on top of isdn.
- cisco-h A special-mode for communicating with a Cisco, which is configured
- to do "hdlc"
- ethernet No stripping. Packets are sent with full MAC-header.
- The Ethernet-address of the interface is faked, from its
- IP-address: fc:fc:i1:i2:i3:i4, where i1-4 are the IP-addr.-values.
- syncppp Synchronous PPP
-
- uihdlc HDLC with UI-frame-header (for use with DOS ISPA, option -h1)
-
-
- NOTE: x25iface encapsulation is currently experimental. Please
- read README.x25 for further details
-
-
- Watching packets, using standard-tcpdump will fail for all encapsulations
- except ethernet because tcpdump does not know how to handle packets
- without MAC-header. A patch for tcpdump is included in the utility-package
- mentioned above.
-
- "isdnctrl l2_prot <InterfaceName> <L2-ProtocolName>"
- Selects a layer-2-protocol.
- (With the ICN-driver and the HiSax-driver, "x75i" and "hdlc" is available.
- With other drivers, "x75ui", "x75bui", "x25dte", "x25dce" may be
- possible too. See README.x25 for x25 related l2 protocols.)
-
- isdnctrl l3_prot <InterfaceName> <L3-ProtocolName>
- The same for layer-3. (At the moment only "trans" is allowed)
-
- "isdnctrl list <InterfaceName>"
- Shows all parameters of an interface and the charge-info.
- Try "all" as the interface name.
-
- "isdnctrl hangup <InterfaceName>"
- Forces hangup of an interface.
-
- "isdnctrl bind <InterfaceName> <DriverId>,<ChannelNumber> [exclusive]"
- If you are using more than one ISDN card, it is sometimes necessary to
- dial out using a specific card or even preserve a specific channel for
- dialout of a specific net-interface. This can be done with the above
- command. Replace <DriverId> by whatever you assigned while loading the
- module. The <ChannelNumber> is counted from zero. The upper limit
- depends on the card used. At the moment no card supports more than
- 2 channels, so the upper limit is one.
-
- "isdnctrl unbind <InterfaceName>"
- unbinds a previously bound interface.
-
- "isdnctrl busreject <DriverId> on|off"
- If switched on, isdn4linux replies a REJECT to incoming calls, it
- cannot match to any configured interface.
- If switched off, nothing happens in this case.
- You normally should NOT enable this feature, if the ISDN adapter is not
- the only device connected to the S0-bus. Otherwise it could happen that
- isdn4linux rejects an incoming call, which belongs to another device on
- the bus.
-
- "isdnctrl addslave <InterfaceName> <SlaveName>
- Creates a slave interface for channel-bundling. Slave interfaces are
- not seen by the kernel, but their ISDN-part can be configured with
- isdnctrl as usual. (Phone numbers, EAZ/MSN, timeouts etc.) If more
- than two channels are to be bundled, feel free to create as many as you
- want. InterfaceName must be a real interface, NOT a slave. Slave interfaces
- start dialing, if the master interface resp. the previous slave interface
- has a load of more than 7000 cps. They hangup if the load goes under 7000
- cps, according to their "huptimeout"-parameter.
-
- "isdnctrl sdelay <InterfaceName> secs."
- This sets the minimum time an Interface has to be fully loaded, until
- it sends a dial-request to its slave.
-
- "isdnctrl dial <InterfaceName>"
- Forces an interface to start dialing even if no packets are to be
- transferred.
-
- "isdnctrl mapping <DriverId> MSN0,MSN1,MSN2,...MSN9"
- This installs a mapping table for EAZ<->MSN-mapping for a single line.
- Missing MSN's have to be given as "-" or can be omitted, if at the end
- of the commandline.
- With this command, it's now possible to have an interface listening to
- mixed 1TR6- and Euro-Type lines. In this case, the interface has to be
- configured to a 1TR6-type EAZ (one digit). The mapping is also valid
- for tty-emulation. Seen from the interface/tty-level the mapping
- CAN be used, however it's possible to use single tty's/interfaces with
- real MSN's (more digits) also, in which case the mapping will be ignored.
- Here is an example:
-
- You have a 1TR6-type line with base-nr. 1234567 and a Euro-line with
- MSN's 987654, 987655 and 987656. The DriverId for the Euro-line is "EURO".
-
- isdnctrl mapping EURO -,987654,987655,987656,-,987655
- ...
- isdnctrl eaz isdn0 1 # listen on 12345671(1tr6) and 987654(euro)
- ...
- isdnctrl eaz isdn1 4 # listen on 12345674(1tr6) only.
- ...
- isdnctrl eaz isdn2 987654 # listen on 987654(euro) only.
-
- Same scheme is used with AT&E... at the tty's.
-
-6. If you want to write a new low-level-driver, you are welcome.
- The interface to the link-level-module is described in the file INTERFACE.
- If the interface should be expanded for any reason, don't do it
- on your own, send me a mail containing the proposed changes and
- some reasoning about them.
- If other drivers will not be affected, I will include the changes
- in the next release.
- For developers only, there is a second mailing-list. Write to me
- (fritz@isdn4linux.de), if you want to join that list.
-
-Have fun!

-
-
-Configuring the driver
-----------------------
-
-The HiSax driver can either be built directly into the kernel or as a module.
-It can be configured using the command line feature while loading the kernel
-with LILO or LOADLIN or, if built as a module, using insmod/modprobe with
-parameters.
-There is also some config needed before you compile the kernel and/or
-modules. It is included in the normal "make [menu]config" target at the
-kernel. Don't forget it, especially to select the right D-channel protocol.
-
-Please note: In older versions of the HiSax driver, all PnP cards
-needed to be configured with isapnp and worked only with the HiSax
-driver used as a module.
-
-In the current version, HiSax will automatically use the in-kernel
-ISAPnP support, provided you selected it during kernel configuration
-(CONFIG_ISAPNP), if you don't give the io=, irq= command line parameters.
-
-The affected card types are: 4,7,12,14,19,27-30
-
-a) when built as a module
--------------------------
-
-insmod/modprobe hisax.o \
- io=iobase irq=IRQ mem=membase type=card_type \
- protocol=D_channel_protocol id=idstring
-
-or, if several cards are installed:
-
-insmod/modprobe hisax.o \
- io=iobase1,iobase2,... irq=IRQ1,IRQ2,... mem=membase1,membase2,... \
- type=card_type1,card_type2,... \
- protocol=D_channel_protocol1,D_channel_protocol2,... \
- id=idstring1%idstring2 ...
-
-where "iobaseN" represents the I/O base address of the Nth card, "membaseN"
-the memory base address of the Nth card, etc.
-
-The reason for the delimiter "%" being used in the idstrings is that ","
-won't work with the current modules package.
-
-The parameters may be specified in any order. For example, the "io"
-parameter may precede the "irq" parameter, or vice versa. If several
-cards are installed, the ordering within the comma separated parameter
-lists must of course be consistent.
-
-Only parameters applicable to the card type need to be specified. For
-example, the Teles 16.3 card is not memory-mapped, so the "mem"
-parameter may be omitted for this card. Sometimes it may be necessary
-to specify a dummy parameter, however. This is the case when there is
-a card of a different type later in the list that needs a parameter
-which the preceding card does not. For instance, if a Teles 16.0 card
-is listed after a Teles 16.3 card, a dummy memory base parameter of 0
-must be specified for the 16.3. Instead of a dummy value, the parameter
-can also be skipped by simply omitting the value. For example:
-mem=,0xd0000. See example 6 below.
-
-The parameter for the D-Channel protocol may be omitted if you selected the
-correct one during kernel config. Valid values are "1" for German 1TR6,
-"2" for EDSS1 (Euro ISDN), "3" for leased lines (no D-Channel) and "4"
-for US NI1.
-With US NI1 you have to include your SPID into the MSN setting in the form
-<MSN>:<SPID> for example (your phonenumber is 1234 your SPID 5678):
-AT&E1234:5678 on ttyI interfaces
-isdnctrl eaz ippp0 1234:5678 on network devices
-
-The Creatix/Teles PnP cards use io1= and io2= instead of io= for specifying
-the I/O addresses of the ISAC and HSCX chips, respectively.
-
-Card types:
-
- Type Required parameters (in addition to type and protocol)
-
- 1 Teles 16.0 irq, mem, io
- 2 Teles 8.0 irq, mem
- 3 Teles 16.3 (non PnP) irq, io
- 4 Creatix/Teles PnP irq, io0 (ISAC), io1 (HSCX)
- 5 AVM A1 (Fritz) irq, io
- 6 ELSA PCC/PCF cards io or nothing for autodetect (the iobase is

-Running the driver
-------------------
-
-When you insmod isdn.o and hisax.o (or with the in-kernel version, during
-boot time), a few lines should appear in your syslog. Look for something like:
-
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Driver for Siemens chip set ISDN cards
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Version 2.9
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Revisions 1.14/1.9/1.10/1.25/1.8
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Total 1 card defined
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Card 1 Protocol EDSS1 Id=HiSax1 (0)
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Elsa driver Rev. 1.13
-...
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: Elsa: PCF-Pro found at 0x360 Rev.:C IRQ 10
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: Elsa: timer OK; resetting card
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: Elsa: HSCX version A: V2.1 B: V2.1
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: Elsa: ISAC 2086/2186 V1.1
-...
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: DSS1 Rev. 1.14
-Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: 2 channels added
-
-This means that the card is ready for use.
-Cabling problems or line-downs are not detected, and only some ELSA cards can
-detect the S0 power.
-
-Remember that, according to the new strategy for accessing low-level drivers
-from within isdn4linux, you should also define a driver ID while doing
-insmod: Simply append hisax_id=<SomeString> to the insmod command line. This
-string MUST NOT start with a digit or a small 'x'!
-
-At this point you can run a 'cat /dev/isdnctrl0' and view debugging messages.
-
-At the moment, debugging messages are enabled with the hisaxctrl tool:
-
- hisaxctrl <DriverId> DebugCmd <debugging_flags>
-
-<DriverId> default is HiSax, if you didn't specify one.
-
-DebugCmd is 1 for generic debugging
- 11 for layer 1 development debugging
- 13 for layer 3 development debugging
-
-where <debugging_flags> is the integer sum of the following debugging
-options you wish enabled:
-
-With DebugCmd set to 1:
-
- 0x0001 Link-level <--> hardware-level communication
- 0x0002 Top state machine
- 0x0004 D-Channel Frames for isdnlog
- 0x0008 D-Channel Q.921
- 0x0010 B-Channel X.75
- 0x0020 D-Channel l2
- 0x0040 B-Channel l2
- 0x0080 D-Channel link state debugging
- 0x0100 B-Channel link state debugging
- 0x0200 TEI debug
- 0x0400 LOCK debug in callc.c
- 0x0800 More paranoid debug in callc.c (not for normal use)
- 0x1000 D-Channel l1 state debugging
- 0x2000 B-Channel l1 state debugging
-
-With DebugCmd set to 11:
-
- 0x0001 Warnings (default: on)
- 0x0002 IRQ status
- 0x0004 ISAC
- 0x0008 ISAC FIFO
- 0x0010 HSCX
- 0x0020 HSCX FIFO (attention: full B-Channel output!)
- 0x0040 D-Channel LAPD frame types
- 0x0080 IPAC debug
- 0x0100 HFC receive debug
- 0x0200 ISAC monitor debug
- 0x0400 D-Channel frames for isdnlog (set with 1 0x4 too)
- 0x0800 D-Channel message verbose
-
-With DebugCmd set to 13:
-
- 1 Warnings (default: on)
- 2 l3 protocol descriptor errors
- 4 l3 state machine
- 8 charge info debugging (1TR6)
-
-For example, 'hisaxctrl HiSax 1 0x3ff' enables full generic debugging.
-
-Because of some obscure problems with some switch equipment, the delay
-between the CONNECT message and sending the first data on the B-channel is now
-configurable with
-
-hisaxctrl <DriverId> 2 <delay>
-<delay> in ms Value between 50 and 800 ms is recommended.
-
-Downloading Firmware
---------------------
-At the moment, the Sedlbauer speed fax+ is the only card, which
-needs to download firmware.
-The firmware is downloaded with the hisaxctrl tool:
-
- hisaxctrl <DriverId> 9 <firmware_filename>
-
-<DriverId> default is HiSax, if you didn't specify one,
-
-where <firmware_filename> is the filename of the firmware file.
-
-For example, 'hisaxctrl HiSax 9 ISAR.BIN' downloads the firmware for
-ISAR based cards (like the Sedlbauer speed fax+).
-
-Warning
--------
-HiSax is a work in progress and may crash your machine.
-For certification look at HiSax.cert file.
-
-Limitations
------------
-At this time, HiSax only works on Euro ISDN lines and German 1TR6 lines.
-For leased lines see appendix.
-
-Bugs
-----
-If you find any, please let me know.

-Appendix: Teles PCMCIA driver
------------------------------
-
-See
- http://www.linux.no/teles_cs.txt
-for instructions.
-
-Appendix: Linux and ISDN-leased lines
--------------------------------------
-
-Original from Juergen Quade, new version KKe.
-
-Attention NEW VERSION, the old leased line syntax won't work !!!
-
-You can use HiSax to connect your Linux-Box via an ISDN leased line
-to e.g. the Internet:
-
-1. Build a kernel which includes the HiSax driver either as a module
- or as part of the kernel.
- cd /usr/src/linux
- make menuconfig
- <ISDN subsystem - ISDN support -- HiSax>
- make clean; make zImage; make modules; make modules_install
-2. Install the new kernel
- cp /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot/zImage /etc/kernel/linux.isdn
- vi /etc/lilo.conf
- <add new kernel in the bootable image section>
- lilo
-3. in case the hisax driver is a "fixed" part of the kernel, configure
- the driver with lilo:
- vi /etc/lilo.conf
- <add HiSax driver parameter in the global section (see below)>
- lilo
- Your lilo.conf _might_ look like the following:
-
- # LILO configuration-file
- # global section
- # teles 16.0 on IRQ=5, MEM=0xd8000, PORT=0xd80
- append="hisax=1,3,5,0xd8000,0xd80,HiSax"
- # teles 16.3 (non pnp) on IRQ=15, PORT=0xd80
- # append="hisax=3,3,5,0xd8000,0xd80,HiSax"
- boot=/dev/sda
- compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.
- linear
- read-only
- prompt
- timeout=100
- vga = normal # force sane state
- # Linux bootable partition config begins
- image = /etc/kernel/linux.isdn
- root = /dev/sda1
- label = linux.isdn
- #
- image = /etc/kernel/linux-2.0.30
- root = /dev/sda1
- label = linux.secure
-
- In the line starting with "append" you have to adapt the parameters
- according to your card (see above in this file)
-
-3. boot the new linux.isdn kernel
-4. start the ISDN subsystem:
- a) load - if necessary - the modules (depends, whether you compiled
- the ISDN driver as module or not)
- According to the type of card you have to specify the necessary
- driver parameter (irq, io, mem, type, protocol).
- For the leased line the protocol is "3". See the table above for
- the parameters, which you have to specify depending on your card.
- b) configure i4l
- /sbin/isdnctrl addif isdn0
- # EAZ 1 -- B1 channel 2 --B2 channel
- /sbin/isdnctrl eaz isdn0 1
- /sbin/isdnctrl secure isdn0 on
- /sbin/isdnctrl huptimeout isdn0 0
- /sbin/isdnctrl l2_prot isdn0 hdlc
- # Attention you must not set an outgoing number !!! This won't work !!!
- # The incoming number is LEASED0 for the first card, LEASED1 for the
- # second and so on.
- /sbin/isdnctrl addphone isdn0 in LEASED0
- # Here is no need to bind the channel.
- c) in case the remote partner is a CISCO:
- /sbin/isdnctrl encap isdn0 cisco-h
- d) configure the interface
- /sbin/ifconfig isdn0 ${LOCAL_IP} pointopoint ${REMOTE_IP}
- e) set the routes
- /sbin/route add -host ${REMOTE_IP} isdn0
- /sbin/route add default gw ${REMOTE_IP}
- f) switch the card into leased mode for each used B-channel
- /sbin/hisaxctrl HiSax 5 1
-
-Remarks:
-a) Use state of the art isdn4k-utils
-
-Here an example script:
-#!/bin/sh
-# Start/Stop ISDN leased line connection

-ISDN subsystem for Linux.
- Description of audio mode.
-
-When enabled during kernel configuration, the tty emulator of the ISDN
-subsystem is capable of a reduced set of commands to support audio.
-This document describes the commands supported and the format of
-audio data.
-
-Commands for enabling/disabling audio mode:
-
- AT+FCLASS=8 Enable audio mode.
- This affects the following registers:
- S18: Bits 0 and 2 are set.
- S16: Set to 48 and any further change to
- larger values is blocked.
- AT+FCLASS=0 Disable audio mode.
- Register 18 is set to 4.
- AT+FCLASS=? Show possible modes.
- AT+FCLASS? Report current mode (0 or 8).
-
-Commands supported in audio mode:
-
-All audio mode commands have one of the following forms:
-
- AT+Vxx? Show current setting.
- AT+Vxx=? Show possible settings.
- AT+Vxx=v Set simple parameter.
- AT+Vxx=v,v ... Set complex parameter.
-
-where xx is a two-character code and v are alphanumerical parameters.
-The following commands are supported:
-
- AT+VNH=x Auto hangup setting. NO EFFECT, supported
- for compatibility only.
- AT+VNH? Always reporting "1"
- AT+VNH=? Always reporting "1"
-
- AT+VIP Reset all audio parameters.
-
- AT+VLS=x Line select. x is one of the following:
- 0 = No device.
- 2 = Phone line.
- AT+VLS=? Always reporting "0,2"
- AT+VLS? Show current line.
-
- AT+VRX Start recording. Emulator responds with
- CONNECT and starts sending audio data to
- the application. See below for data format
-
- AT+VSD=x,y Set silence-detection parameters.
- Possible parameters:
- x = 0 ... 31 sensitivity threshold level.
- (default 0 , deactivated)
- y = 0 ... 255 range of interval in units
- of 0.1 second. (default 70)
- AT+VSD=? Report possible parameters.
- AT+VSD? Show current parameters.
-
- AT+VDD=x,y Set DTMF-detection parameters.
- Only possible if online and during this connection.
- Possible parameters:
- x = 0 ... 15 sensitivity threshold level.
- (default 0 , I4L soft-decode)
- (1-15 soft-decode off, hardware on)
- y = 0 ... 255 tone duration in units of 5ms.
- Not for I4L soft decode (default 8, 40ms)
- AT+VDD=? Report possible parameters.
- AT+VDD? Show current parameters.
-
- AT+VSM=x Select audio data format.
- Possible parameters:
- 2 = ADPCM-2
- 3 = ADPCM-3
- 4 = ADPCM-4
- 5 = aLAW
- 6 = uLAW
- AT+VSM=? Show possible audio formats.
-
- AT+VTX Start audio playback. Emulator responds
- with CONNECT and starts sending audio data
- received from the application via phone line.
-General behavior and description of data formats/protocol.
- when a connection is made:
-
- On incoming calls, if the application responds to a RING
- with ATA, depending on the calling service, the emulator
- responds with either CONNECT (data call) or VCON (voice call).
-
- On outgoing voice calls, the emulator responds with VCON
- upon connection setup.
-
- Audio recording.
-
- When receiving audio data, a kind of bisync protocol is used.
- Upon AT+VRX command, the emulator responds with CONNECT, and
- starts sending audio data to the application. There are several
- escape sequences defined, all using DLE (0x10) as Escape char:
-
- <DLE><ETX> End of audio data. (i.e. caused by a
- hangup of the remote side) Emulator stops

-Description of the "concap" encapsulation protocol interface
-============================================================
-
-The "concap" interface is intended to be used by network device
-drivers that need to process an encapsulation protocol.
-It is assumed that the protocol interacts with a linux network device by
-- data transmission
-- connection control (establish, release)
-Thus, the mnemonic: "CONnection CONtrolling eNCAPsulation Protocol".
-
-This is currently only used inside the isdn subsystem. But it might
-also be useful to other kinds of network devices. Thus, if you want
-to suggest changes that improve usability or performance of the
-interface, please let me know. I'm willing to include them in future
-releases (even if I needed to adapt the current isdn code to the
-changed interface).
-
-
-Why is this useful?
-===================
-
-The encapsulation protocol used on top of WAN connections or permanent
-point-to-point links are frequently chosen upon bilateral agreement.
-Thus, a device driver for a certain type of hardware must support
-several different encapsulation protocols at once.
-
-The isdn device driver did already support several different
-encapsulation protocols. The encapsulation protocol is configured by a
-user space utility (isdnctrl). The isdn network interface code then
-uses several case statements which select appropriate actions
-depending on the currently configured encapsulation protocol.
-
-In contrast, LAN network interfaces always used a single encapsulation
-protocol which is unique to the hardware type of the interface. The LAN
-encapsulation is usually done by just sticking a header on the data. Thus,
-traditional linux network device drivers used to process the
-encapsulation protocol directly (usually by just providing a hard_header()
-method in the device structure) using some hardware type specific support
-functions. This is simple, direct and efficient. But it doesn't fit all
-the requirements for complex WAN encapsulations.
-
-
- The configurability of the encapsulation protocol to be used
- makes isdn network interfaces more flexible, but also much more
- complex than traditional lan network interfaces.
-
-
-Many Encapsulation protocols used on top of WAN connections will not just
-stick a header on the data. They also might need to set up or release
-the WAN connection. They also might want to send other data for their
-private purpose over the wire, e.g. ppp does a lot of link level
-negotiation before the first piece of user data can be transmitted.
-Such encapsulation protocols for WAN devices are typically more complex
-than encapsulation protocols for lan devices. Thus, network interface
-code for typical WAN devices also tends to be more complex.
-
-
-In order to support Linux' x25 PLP implementation on top of
-isdn network interfaces I could have introduced yet another branch to
-the various case statements inside drivers/isdn/isdn_net.c.
-This eventually made isdn_net.c even more complex. In addition, it made
-isdn_net.c harder to maintain. Thus, by identifying an abstract
-interface between the network interface code and the encapsulation
-protocol, complexity could be reduced and maintainability could be
-increased.
-
-
-Likewise, a similar encapsulation protocol will frequently be needed by
-several different interfaces of even different hardware type, e.g. the
-synchronous ppp implementation used by the isdn driver and the
-asynchronous ppp implementation used by the ppp driver have a lot of
-similar code in them. By cleanly separating the encapsulation protocol
-from the hardware specific interface stuff such code could be shared
-better in future.
-
-
-When operating over dial-up-connections (e.g. telephone lines via modem,
-non-permanent virtual circuits of wide area networks, ISDN) many
-encapsulation protocols will need to control the connection. Therefore,
-some basic connection control primitives are supported. The type and
-semantics of the connection (i.e the ISO layer where connection service
-is provided) is outside our scope and might be different depending on
-the encapsulation protocol used, e.g. for a ppp module using our service
-on top of a modem connection a connect_request will result in dialing
-a (somewhere else configured) remote phone number. For an X25-interface
-module (LAPB semantics, as defined in Documentation/networking/x25-iface.txt)
-a connect_request will ask for establishing a reliable lapb
-datalink connection.
-
-
-The encapsulation protocol currently provides the following
-service primitives to the network device.
-
-- create a new encapsulation protocol instance
-- delete encapsulation protocol instance and free all its resources
-- initialize (open) the encapsulation protocol instance for use.
-- deactivate (close) an encapsulation protocol instance.
-- process (xmit) data handed down by upper protocol layer
-- receive data from lower (hardware) layer
-- process connect indication from lower (hardware) layer
-- process disconnect indication from lower (hardware) layer
-
-
-The network interface driver accesses those primitives via callbacks
-provided by the encapsulation protocol instance within a
-struct concap_proto_ops.
-
-struct concap_proto_ops{
-
- /* create a new encapsulation protocol instance of same type */
- struct concap_proto * (*proto_new) (void);
-
- /* delete encapsulation protocol instance and free all its resources.
- cprot may no longer be referenced after calling this */
- void (*proto_del)(struct concap_proto *cprot);
-
- /* initialize the protocol's data. To be called at interface startup
- or when the device driver resets the interface. All services of the
- encapsulation protocol may be used after this*/
- int (*restart)(struct concap_proto *cprot,
- struct net_device *ndev,
- struct concap_device_ops *dops);
-
- /* deactivate an encapsulation protocol instance. The encapsulation
- protocol may not call any *dops methods after this. */
- int (*close)(struct concap_proto *cprot);
-
- /* process a frame handed down to us by upper layer */
- int (*encap_and_xmit)(struct concap_proto *cprot, struct sk_buff *skb);
-
- /* to be called for each data entity received from lower layer*/
- int (*data_ind)(struct concap_proto *cprot, struct sk_buff *skb);
-
- /* to be called when a connection was set up/down.
- Protocols that don't process these primitives might fill in
- dummy methods here */
- int (*connect_ind)(struct concap_proto *cprot);
- int (*disconn_ind)(struct concap_proto *cprot);
-};
-
-
-The data structures are defined in the header file include/linux/concap.h.
-
-
-A Network interface using encapsulation protocols must also provide
-some service primitives to the encapsulation protocol:
-
-- request data being submitted by lower layer (device hardware)
-- request a connection being set up by lower layer
-- request a connection being released by lower layer
-
-The encapsulation protocol accesses those primitives via callbacks
-provided by the network interface within a struct concap_device_ops.
-
-struct concap_device_ops{
-
- /* to request data be submitted by device */
- int (*data_req)(struct concap_proto *, struct sk_buff *);
-
- /* Control methods must be set to NULL by devices which do not
- support connection control. */
- /* to request a connection be set up */
- int (*connect_req)(struct concap_proto *);
-
- /* to request a connection be released */
- int (*disconn_req)(struct concap_proto *);
-};
-
-The network interface does not explicitly provide a receive service
-because the encapsulation protocol directly calls netif_rx().
-
-
-
-
-An encapsulation protocol itself is actually the
-struct concap_proto{
- struct net_device *net_dev; /* net device using our service */
- struct concap_device_ops *dops; /* callbacks provided by device */
- struct concap_proto_ops *pops; /* callbacks provided by us */
- int flags;
- void *proto_data; /* protocol specific private data, to
- be accessed via *pops methods only*/
- /*
- :
- whatever
- :
- */
-};
-
-Most of this is filled in when the device requests the protocol to
-be reset (opend). The network interface must provide the net_dev and
-dops pointers. Other concap_proto members should be considered private
-data that are only accessed by the pops callback functions. Likewise,
-a concap proto should access the network device's private data
-only by means of the callbacks referred to by the dops pointer.
-
-
-A possible extended device structure which uses the connection controlling
-encapsulation services could look like this:
-
-struct concap_device{
- struct net_device net_dev;
- struct my_priv /* device->local stuff */
- /* the my_priv struct might contain a
- struct concap_device_ops *dops;
- to provide the device specific callbacks
- */
- struct concap_proto *cprot; /* callbacks provided by protocol */
-};
-
-
-
-Misc Thoughts
-=============
-
-The concept of the concap proto might help to reuse protocol code and
-reduce the complexity of certain network interface implementations.
-The trade off is that it introduces yet another procedure call layer
-when processing the protocol. This has of course some impact on
-performance. However, typically the concap interface will be used by
-devices attached to slow lines (like telephone, isdn, leased synchronous
-lines). For such slow lines, the overhead is probably negligible.
-This might no longer hold for certain high speed WAN links (like
-ATM).
-
-
-If general linux network interfaces explicitly supported concap
-protocols (e.g. by a member struct concap_proto* in struct net_device)
-then the interface of the service function could be changed
-by passing a pointer of type (struct net_device*) instead of
-type (struct concap_proto*). Doing so would make many of the service
-functions compatible to network device support functions.
-
-e.g. instead of the concap protocol's service function
-
- int (*encap_and_xmit)(struct concap_proto *cprot, struct sk_buff *skb);
-
-we could have
-
- int (*encap_and_xmit)(struct net_device *ndev, struct sk_buff *skb);
-
-As this is compatible to the dev->hard_start_xmit() method, the device
-driver could directly register the concap protocol's encap_and_xmit()
-function as its hard_start_xmit() method. This would eliminate one
-procedure call layer.
-
-
-The device's data request function could also be defined as
-
- int (*data_req)(struct net_device *ndev, struct sk_buff *skb);
-
-This might even allow for some protocol stacking. And the network
-interface might even register the same data_req() function directly
-as its hard_start_xmit() method when a zero layer encapsulation
-protocol is configured. Thus, eliminating the performance penalty
-of the concap interface when a trivial concap protocol is used.
-Nevertheless, the device remains able to support encapsulation
-protocol configuration.

-1. Features of the i4l diversion services
- (Or what can the i4l diversion services do for me)
-
- The i4l diversion services offers call forwarding and logging normally
- only supported by isdn phones. Incoming calls may be diverted
- unconditionally (CFU), when not reachable (CFNR) or on busy condition
- (CFB).
- The diversions may be invoked statically in the providers exchange
- as normally done by isdn phones. In this case all incoming calls
- with a special (or all) service identifiers are forwarded if the
- forwarding reason is met. Activated static services may also be
- interrogated (queried).
- The i4l diversion services additionally offers a dynamic version of
- call forwarding which is not preprogrammed inside the providers exchange
- but dynamically activated by i4l.
- In this case all incoming calls are checked by rules that may be
- compared to the mechanism of ipfwadm or ipchains. If a given rule matches
- the checking process is finished and the rule matching will be applied
- to the call.
- The rules include primary and secondary service identifiers, called
- number and subaddress, callers number and subaddress and whether the rule
- matches to all filtered calls or only those when all B-channel resources
- are exhausted.
- Actions that may be invoked by a rule are ignore, proceed, reject,
- direct divert or delayed divert of a call.
- All incoming calls matching a rule except the ignore rule a reported and
- logged as ASCII via the proc filesystem (/proc/net/isdn/divert). If proceed
- is selected the call will be held in a proceeding state (without ringing)
- for a certain amount of time to let an external program or client decide
- how to handle the call.
-
-
-2. Required hard- and software
-
- For using the i4l diversion services the isdn line must be of a EURO/DSS1
- type. Additionally the i4l services only work together with the HiSax
- driver for passive isdn cards. All HiSax supported cards may be used for
- the diversion purposes.
- The static diversion services require the provider having static services
- CFU, CFNR, CFB activated on an MSN-line. The static services may not be
- used on a point-to-point connection. Further the static services are only
- available in some countries (for example germany). Countries requiring the
- keypad protocol for activating static diversions (like the netherlands) are
- not supported but may use the tty devices for this purpose.
- The dynamic diversion services may be used in all countries if the provider
- enables the feature CF (call forwarding). This should work on both MSN- and
- point-to-point lines.
- To add and delete rules the additional divertctrl program is needed. This
- program is part of the isdn4kutils package.
-
-3. Compiling, installing and loading/unloading the module
- Tracing calling and diversion information
-
-
- To compile the i4l code with diversion support you need to say yes to the
- DSS1 diversion services when selecting the i4l options in the kernel
- config (menuconfig or config).
- After having properly activated a make modules and make modules_install all
- required modules will be correctly installed in the needed modules dirs.
- As the diversion services are currently not included in the scripts of most
- standard distributions you will have to add a "insmod dss1_divert" after
- having loaded the global isdn module.
- The module can be loaded without any command line parameters.
- If the module is actually loaded and active may be checked with a
- "cat /proc/modules" or "ls /proc/net/isdn/divert". The divert file is
- dynamically created by the diversion module and removed when the module is
- unloaded.
-
-
-4. Tracing calling and diversion information
-
- You also may put a "cat /proc/net/isdn/divert" in the background with the
- output redirected to a file. Then all actions of the module are logged.
- The divert file in the proc system may be opened more than once, so in
- conjunction with inetd and a small remote client on other machines inside
- your network incoming calls and reactions by the module may be shown on
- every listening machine.
- If a call is reported as proceeding an external program or client may
- specify during a certain amount of time (normally 4 to 10 seconds) what
- to do with that call.
- To unload the module all open files to the device in the proc system must
- be closed. Otherwise the module (and isdn.o) may not be unloaded.
-
-5. Format of the divert device ASCII output
-
- To be done later

-
-
-NOTE: This implementation does *not* support fax with passive
- ISDN-cards (known as softfax). The low-level driver of
- the ISDN-card and/or the card itself must support this.

-
-Eicon DIVA Server 4BRI/PCI
- - full support with all B-channels.
-
-Eicon DIVA Server PRI/PCI
- - full support on amount of B-channels
- depending on DSPs on board.
-
-
-
-The command set is known as Class 2 (not Class 2.0) and
-can be activated by AT+FCLASS=2

-Using isdn4linux with sync PPP:
--------------------------------
-Sync PPP is just another encapsulation for isdn4linux. The
-name to enable sync PPP encapsulation is 'syncppp' .. e.g:
-
- /sbin/isdnctrl encap ippp0 syncppp
-
-The name of the interface is here 'ippp0'. You need
-one interface with the name 'ippp0' to saturate the
-ipppd, which checks the ppp version via this interface.
-Currently, all devices must have the name ipppX where
-'X' is a decimal value.
-
-To set up a PPP connection you need the ipppd .. You must start
-the ipppd once after installing the modules. The ipppd
-communicates with the isdn4linux link-level driver using the
-/dev/ippp0 to /dev/ippp15 devices. One ipppd can handle
-all devices at once. If you want to use two PPP connections
-at the same time, you have to connect the ipppd to two
-devices .. and so on.
-I've implemented one additional option for the ipppd:
- 'useifip' will get (if set to not 0.0.0.0) the IP address
- for the negotiation from the attached network-interface.
-(also: ipppd will try to negotiate pointopoint IP as remote IP)
-You must disable BSD-compression, this implementation can't
-handle compressed packets.
-
-Check the etc/rc.isdn.syncppp in the isdn4kernel-util package
-for an example setup script.
-
-To use the MPPP stuff, you must configure a slave device
-with isdn4linux. Now call the ipppd with the '+mp' option.
-To increase the number of links, you must use the
-'addlink' option of the isdnctrl tool. (rc.isdn.syncppp.MPPP is
-an example script)

-X.25 support within isdn4linux
-==============================
-
-This is alpha/beta test code. Use it completely at your own risk.
-As new versions appear, the stuff described here might suddenly change
-or become invalid without notice.
-
-Keep in mind:
-
-You are using several new parts of the 2.2.x kernel series which
-have not been tested in a large scale. Therefore, you might encounter
-more bugs as usual.
-
-- If you connect to an X.25 neighbour not operated by yourself, ASK the
- other side first. Be prepared that bugs in the protocol implementation
- might result in problems.
-
-- This implementation has never wiped out my whole hard disk yet. But as
- this is experimental code, don't blame me if that happened to you.
- Backing up important data will never harm.
-
-- Monitor your isdn connections while using this software. This should
- prevent you from undesired phone bills in case of driver problems.
-
-
-
-
-How to configure the kernel
-===========================
-
-The ITU-T (former CCITT) X.25 network protocol layer has been implemented
-in the Linux source tree since version 2.1.16. The isdn subsystem might be
-useful to run X.25 on top of ISDN. If you want to try it, select
-
- "CCITT X.25 Packet Layer"
-
-from the networking options as well as
-
- "ISDN Support" and "X.25 PLP on Top of ISDN"
-
-from the ISDN subsystem options when you configure your kernel for
-compilation. You currently also need to enable
-"Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers" from the
-"Code maturity level options" menu. For the x25trace utility to work
-you also need to enable "Packet socket".
-
-For local testing it is also recommended to enable the isdnloop driver
-from the isdn subsystem's configuration menu.
-
-For testing, it is recommended that all isdn drivers and the X.25 PLP
-protocol are compiled as loadable modules. Like this, you can recover
-from certain errors by simply unloading and reloading the modules.
-
-
-
-What's it for? How to use it?
-=============================
-
-X.25 on top of isdn might be useful with two different scenarios:
-
-- You might want to access a public X.25 data network from your Linux box.
- You can use i4l if you were physically connected to the X.25 switch
- by an ISDN B-channel (leased line as well as dial up connection should
- work).
-
- This corresponds to ITU-T recommendation X.31 Case A (circuit-mode
- access to PSPDN [packet switched public data network]).
-
- NOTE: X.31 also covers a Case B (access to PSPDN via virtual
- circuit / packet mode service). The latter mode (which in theory
- also allows using the D-channel) is not supported by isdn4linux.
- It should however be possible to establish such packet mode connections
- with certain active isdn cards provided that the firmware supports X.31
- and the driver exports this functionality to the user. Currently,
- the AVM B1 driver is the only driver which does so. (It should be
- possible to access D-channel X.31 with active AVM cards using the
- CAPI interface of the AVM-B1 driver).
-
-- Or you might want to operate certain ISDN teleservices on your linux
- box. A lot of those teleservices run on top of the ISO-8208
- (DTE-DTE mode) network layer protocol. ISO-8208 is essentially the
- same as ITU-T X.25.
-
- Popular candidates of such teleservices are EUROfile transfer or any
- teleservice applying ITU-T recommendation T.90.
-
-To use the X.25 protocol on top of isdn, just create an isdn network
-interface as usual, configure your own and/or peer's ISDN numbers,
-and choose x25iface encapsulation by
-
- isdnctrl encap <iface-name> x25iface.
-
-Once encap is set like this, the device can be used by the X.25 packet layer.
-
-All the stuff needed for X.25 is implemented inside the isdn link
-level (mainly isdn_net.c and some new source files). Thus, it should
-work with every existing HL driver. I was able to successfully open X.25
-connections on top of the isdnloop driver and the hisax driver.
-"x25iface"-encapsulation bypasses demand dialing. Dialing will be
-initiated when the upper (X.25 packet) layer requests the lapb datalink to
-be established. But hangup timeout is still active. Whenever a hangup
-occurs, all existing X.25 connections on that link will be cleared
-It is recommended to use sufficiently large hangup-timeouts for the
-isdn interfaces.
-
-
-In order to set up a conforming protocol stack you also need to
-specify the proper l2_prot parameter:
-
-To operate in ISO-8208 X.25 DTE-DTE mode, use
-
- isdnctrl l2_prot <iface-name> x75i
-
-To access an X.25 network switch via isdn (your linux box is the DTE), use
-
- isdnctrl l2_prot <iface-name> x25dte
-
-To mimic an X.25 network switch (DCE side of the connection), use
-
- isdnctrl l2_prot <iface-name> x25dce
-
-However, x25dte or x25dce is currently not supported by any real HL
-level driver. The main difference between x75i and x25dte/dce is that
-x25d[tc]e uses fixed lap_b addresses. With x75i, the side which
-initiates the isdn connection uses the DTE's lap_b address while the
-called side used the DCE's lap_b address. Thus, l2_prot x75i might
-probably work if you access a public X.25 network as long as the
-corresponding isdn connection is set up by you. At least one test
-was successful to connect via isdn4linux to an X.25 switch using this
-trick. At the switch side, a terminal adapter X.21 was used to connect
-it to the isdn.
-
-
-How to set up a test installation?
-==================================
-
-To test X.25 on top of isdn, you need to get
-
-- a recent version of the "isdnctrl" program that supports setting the new
- X.25 specific parameters.
-
-- the x25-utils-2.X package from
- ftp://ftp.hes.iki.fi/pub/ham/linux/ax25/x25utils-*
- (don't confuse the x25-utils with the ax25-utils)
-
-- an application program that uses linux PF_X25 sockets (some are
- contained in the x25-util package).
-
-Before compiling the user level utilities make sure that the compiler/
-preprocessor will fetch the proper kernel header files of this kernel
-source tree. Either make /usr/include/linux a symbolic link pointing to
-this kernel's include/linux directory or set the appropriate compiler flags.
-
-When all drivers and interfaces are loaded and configured you need to
-ifconfig the network interfaces up and add X.25-routes to them. Use
-the usual ifconfig tool.
-
-ifconfig <iface-name> up
-
-But a special x25route tool (distributed with the x25-util package)
-is needed to set up X.25 routes. I.e.
-
-x25route add 01 <iface-name>
-
-will cause all x.25 connections to the destination X.25-address
-"01" to be routed to your created isdn network interface.
-
-There are currently no real X.25 applications available. However, for
-tests, the x25-utils package contains a modified version of telnet
-and telnetd that uses X.25 sockets instead of tcp/ip sockets. You can
-use those for your first tests. Furthermore, you might check
-ftp://ftp.hamburg.pop.de/pub/LOCAL/linux/i4l-eft/ which contains some
-alpha-test implementation ("eftp4linux") of the EUROfile transfer
-protocol.
-
-The scripts distributed with the eftp4linux test releases might also
-provide useful examples for setting up X.25 on top of isdn.
-
-The x25-utility package also contains an x25trace tool that can be
-used to monitor X.25 packets received by the network interfaces.
-The /proc/net/x25* files also contain useful information.

-simple isdn4linux PPP FAQ .. to be continued .. not 'debugged'
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Q01: what's pppd, ipppd, syncPPP, asyncPPP ??
-Q02: error message "this system lacks PPP support"
-Q03: strange information using 'ifconfig'
-Q04: MPPP?? What's that and how can I use it ...
-Q05: I tried MPPP but it doesn't work
-Q06: can I use asynchronous PPP encapsulation with network devices
-Q07: A SunISDN machine can't connect to my i4l system
-Q08: I wanna talk to several machines, which need different configs
-Q09: Starting the ipppd, I get only error messages from i4l
-Q10: I wanna use dynamic IP address assignment
-Q11: I can't connect. How can I check where the problem is.
-Q12: How can I reduce login delay?
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Q01: pppd, ipppd, syncPPP, asyncPPP .. what is that ?
- what should I use?
-A: The pppd is for asynchronous PPP .. asynchronous means
- here, the framing is character based. (e.g when
- using ttyI* or tty* devices)
-
- The ipppd handles PPP packets coming in HDLC
- frames (bit based protocol) ... The PPP driver
- in isdn4linux pushes all IP packets direct
- to the network layer and all PPP protocol
- frames to the /dev/ippp* device.
- So, the ipppd is a simple external network
- protocol handler.
-
- If you login into a remote machine using the
- /dev/ttyI* devices and then enable PPP on the
- remote terminal server -> use the 'old' pppd
-
- If your remote side immediately starts to send
- frames ... you probably connect to a
- syncPPP machine .. use the network device part
- of isdn4linux with the 'syncppp' encapsulation
- and make sure, that the ipppd is running and
- connected to at least one /dev/ippp*. Check the
- isdn4linux manual on how to configure a network device.
-
---
-
-Q02: when I start the ipppd .. I only get the
- error message "this system lacks PPP support"
-A: check that at least the device 'ippp0' exists.
- (you can check this e.g with the program 'ifconfig')
- The ipppd NEEDS this device under THIS name ..
- If this device doesn't exists, use:
- isdnctrl addif ippp0
- isdnctrl encap ippp0 syncppp
- ... (see isdn4linux doc for more) ...
-A: Maybe you have compiled the ipppd with another
- kernel source tree than the kernel you currently
- run ...
-
---
-
-Q03: when I list the netdevices with ifconfig I see, that
- my ISDN interface has a HWaddr and IRQ=0 and Base
- address = 0
-A: The device is a fake ethernet device .. ignore IRQ and baseaddr
- You need the HWaddr only for ethernet encapsulation.
-
---
-
-Q04: MPPP?? What's that and how can I use it ...
-
-A: MPPP or MP or MPP (Warning: MP is also an
- acronym for 'Multi Processor') stands for
- Multi Point to Point and means bundling
- of several channels to one logical stream.
- To enable MPPP negotiation you must call the
- ipppd with the '+mp' option.
- You must also configure a slave device for
- every additional channel. (see the i4l manual
- for more)
- To use channel bundling you must first activate
- the 'master' or initial call. Now you can add
- the slave channels with the command:
- isdnctrl addlink <device>
- e.g:
- isdnctrl addlink ippp0
- This is different from other encapsulations of
- isdn4linux! With syncPPP, there is no automatic
- activation of slave devices.
-
---
-
-Q05: I tried MPPP but it doesn't work .. the ipppd
- writes in the debug log something like:
- .. rcvd [0][proto=0x3d] c0 00 00 00 80 fd 01 01 00 0a ...
- .. sent [0][LCP ProtRej id=0x2 00 3d c0 00 00 00 80 fd 01 ...
-
-A: you forgot to compile MPPP/RFC1717 support into the
- ISDN Subsystem. Recompile with this option enabled.
-
---
-
-Q06: can I use asynchronous PPP encapsulation
- over the network interface of isdn4linux ..
-
-A: No .. that's not possible .. Use the standard
- PPP package over the /dev/ttyI* devices. You
- must not use the ipppd for this.
-
---
-
-Q07: A SunISDN machine tries to connect my i4l system,
- which doesn't work.
- Checking the debug log I just saw garbage like:
-!![ ... fill in the line ... ]!!
-
-A: The Sun tries to talk asynchronous PPP ... i4l
- can't understand this ... try to use the ttyI*
- devices with the standard PPP/pppd package
-
-A: (from Alexanter Strauss: )
-!![ ... fill in mail ]!!
-
---
-
-Q08: I wanna talk to remote machines, which need
- a different configuration. The only way
- I found to do this is to kill the ipppd and
- start a new one with another config to connect
- to the second machine.
-
-A: you must bind a network interface explicitly to
- an ippp device, where you can connect a (for this
- interface) individually configured ipppd.
-
---
-
-Q09: When I start the ipppd I only get error messages
- from the i4l driver ..
-
-A: When starting, the ipppd calls functions which may
- trigger a network packet. (e.g gethostbyname()).
- Without the ipppd (at this moment, it is not
- fully started) we can't handle this network request.
- Try to configure hostnames necessary for the ipppd
- in your local /etc/hosts file or in a way, that
- your system can resolve it without using an
- isdn/ippp network-interface.
-
---
-
-Q10: I wanna use dynamic IP address assignment ... How
- must I configure the network device.
-
-A: At least you must have a route which forwards
- a packet to the ippp network-interface to trigger
- the dial-on-demand.
- A default route to the ippp-interface will work.
- Now you must choose a dummy IP address for your
- interface.
- If for some reason you can't set the default
- route to the ippp interface, you may take any
- address of the subnet from which you expect your
- dynamic IP number and set a 'network route' for
- this subnet to the ippp interface.
- To allow overriding of the dummy address you
- must call the ipppd with the 'ipcp-accept-local' option.
-
-A: You must know, how the ipppd gets the addresses it wanna
- configure. If you don't give any option, the ipppd
- tries to negotiate the local host address!
- With the option 'noipdefault' it requests an address
- from the remote machine. With 'useifip' it gets the
- addresses from the net interface. Or you set the address
- on the option line with the <a.b.c.d:e.f.g.h> option.
- Note: the IP address of the remote machine must be configured
- locally or the remote machine must send it in an IPCP request.
- If your side doesn't know the IP address after negotiation, it
- closes the connection!
- You must allow overriding of address with the 'ipcp-accept-*'
- options, if you have set your own or the remote address
- explicitly.
-
-A: Maybe you try these options .. e.g:
-
- /sbin/ipppd :$REMOTE noipdefault /dev/ippp0
-
- where REMOTE must be the address of the remote machine (the
- machine, which gives you your address)
-
---
-
-Q11: I can't connect. How can I check where the problem is.
-
-A: A good help log is the debug output from the ipppd...
- Check whether you can find there:
- - only a few LCP-conf-req SENT messages (less then 10)
- and then a Term-REQ:
- -> check whether your ISDN card is well configured
- it seems, that your machine doesn't dial
- (IRQ,IO,Proto, etc problems)
- Configure your ISDN card to print debug messages and
- check the /dev/isdnctrl output next time. There
- you can see, whether there is activity on the card/line.
- - there are at least a few RECV messages in the log:
- -> fine: your card is dialing and your remote machine
- tries to talk with you. Maybe only a missing
- authentication. Check your ipppd configuration again.
- - the ipppd exits for some reason:
- -> not good ... check /var/adm/syslog and /var/adm/daemon.
- Could be a bug in the ipppd.
-
---
-
-Q12: How can I reduce login delay?
-
-A: Log a login session ('debug' log) and check which options
- your remote side rejects. Next time configure your ipppd
- to not negotiate these options. Another 'side effect' is, that
- this increases redundancy. (e.g your remote side is buggy and
- rejects options in a wrong way).

Setting this to a date string overrides the timestamp used in the
UTS_VERSION definition (uname -v in the running kernel). The value has to
be a string that can be passed to date -d. The default value
is the output of the date command at one point during build.
KBUILD_BUILD_USER, KBUILD_BUILD_HOST

These two variables allow to override the user@host string displayed during
boot and in /proc/version. The default value is the output of the commands
whoami and host, respectively.

Description
-----------
There are 3 functions in LM3556, Flash, Torch and Indicator.
-FLASH MODE
+Flash Mode
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
In Flash Mode, the LED current source(LED) provides 16 target current levels
from 93.75 mA to 1500 mA.The Flash currents are adjusted via the CURRENT
CONTROL REGISTER(0x09).Flash mode is activated by the ENABLE REGISTER(0x0A),
or by pulling the STROBE pin HIGH.
+
LM3556 Flash can be controlled through sys/class/leds/flash/brightness file
+
* if STROBE pin is enabled, below example control brightness only, and
-ON / OFF will be controlled by STROBE pin.
+ ON / OFF will be controlled by STROBE pin.
Flash Example:
-OFF : #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
-93.75 mA: #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
-... .....
-1500 mA: #echo 16 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
-TORCH MODE
+OFF::
+
+ #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
+
+93.75 mA::
+
+ #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
+
+...
+
+1500 mA::
+
+ #echo 16 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
+
+Torch Mode
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
In Torch Mode, the current source(LED) is programmed via the CURRENT CONTROL
REGISTER(0x09).Torch Mode is activated by the ENABLE REGISTER(0x0A) or by the
hardware TORCH input.
+
LM3556 torch can be controlled through sys/class/leds/torch/brightness file.
* if TORCH pin is enabled, below example control brightness only,
and ON / OFF will be controlled by TORCH pin.
Torch Example:
-OFF : #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
-46.88 mA: #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
-... .....
-375 mA : #echo 8 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
-INDICATOR MODE
+OFF::
+
+ #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
+
+46.88 mA::
+
+ #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
+
+...
+
+375 mA::
+
+ #echo 8 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
+
+Indicator Mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
Indicator pattern can be set through sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern file,
and 4 patterns are pre-defined in indicator_pattern array.
+
According to N-lank, Pulse time and N Period values, different pattern wiill
be generated.If you want new patterns for your own device, change
indicator_pattern array with your own values and INDIC_PATTERN_SIZE.
+
Please refer datasheet for more detail about N-Blank, Pulse time and N Period.
Indicator pattern example:
-pattern 0: #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern
-....
-pattern 3: #echo 3 > sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern
+
+pattern 0::
+
+ #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern
+
+...
+
+pattern 3::
+
+ #echo 3 > sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern
Indicator brightness can be controlled through
sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness file.
Example:
-OFF : #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness
-5.86 mA : #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness
-........
-46.875mA : #echo 8 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness
+
+OFF::
+
+ #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+LP5521 can drive up to 3 channels. Leds can be controlled directly via
+the led class control interface. Channels have generic names:
+lp5521:channelx, where x is 0 .. 2
+
+All three channels can be also controlled using the engine micro programs.
+More details of the instructions can be found from the public data sheet.
+
+LP5521 has the internal program memory for running various LED patterns.
+There are two ways to run LED patterns.
+
+1) Legacy interface - enginex_mode and enginex_load
+ Control interface for the engines:
+
+ x is 1 .. 3
+
+ enginex_mode:
+ disabled, load, run
+ enginex_load:
+ store program (visible only in engine load mode)
+
+ Example (start to blink the channel 2 led)::
+
+ cd /sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel2/device
+ echo "load" > engine3_mode
+ echo "037f4d0003ff6000" > engine3_load
+ echo "run" > engine3_mode
+
+ To stop the engine::
+
+ echo "disabled" > engine3_mode
+
+2) Firmware interface - LP55xx common interface
+
+For the details, please refer to 'firmware' section in leds-lp55xx.txt
+
+sysfs contains a selftest entry.
+
+The test communicates with the chip and checks that
+the clock mode is automatically set to the requested one.
+
+Each channel has its own led current settings.
+

-Description
------------
-
-LP5521 can drive up to 3 channels. Leds can be controlled directly via
-the led class control interface. Channels have generic names:
-lp5521:channelx, where x is 0 .. 2
-
-All three channels can be also controlled using the engine micro programs.
-More details of the instructions can be found from the public data sheet.
-
-LP5521 has the internal program memory for running various LED patterns.
-There are two ways to run LED patterns.
-
-1) Legacy interface - enginex_mode and enginex_load
- Control interface for the engines:
- x is 1 .. 3
- enginex_mode : disabled, load, run
- enginex_load : store program (visible only in engine load mode)
-
- Example (start to blink the channel 2 led):
- cd /sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel2/device
- echo "load" > engine3_mode
- echo "037f4d0003ff6000" > engine3_load
- echo "run" > engine3_mode
-
- To stop the engine:
- echo "disabled" > engine3_mode
-
-2) Firmware interface - LP55xx common interface
- For the details, please refer to 'firmware' section in leds-lp55xx.txt
-
-sysfs contains a selftest entry.
-The test communicates with the chip and checks that
-the clock mode is automatically set to the requested one.
-
-Each channel has its own led current settings.
-/sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel0/led_current - RW
-/sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel0/max_current - RO

+
+Authors: Mathias Nyman, Yuri Zaporozhets, Samu Onkalo

+
+Description
+-----------
+LP5523 can drive up to 9 channels. Leds can be controlled directly via
+the led class control interface.
+The name of each channel is configurable in the platform data - name and label.
+There are three options to make the channel name.
+
+a) Define the 'name' in the platform data
+
+To make specific channel name, then use 'name' platform data.
+
+- /sys/class/leds/R1 (name: 'R1')
+- /sys/class/leds/B1 (name: 'B1')
+
+b) Use the 'label' with no 'name' field
+
+For one device name with channel number, then use 'label'.
+- /sys/class/leds/RGB:channelN (label: 'RGB', N: 0 ~ 8)
+
+c) Default
+
+If both fields are NULL, 'lp5523' is used by default.
+- /sys/class/leds/lp5523:channelN (N: 0 ~ 8)
+
+LP5523 has the internal program memory for running various LED patterns.
+There are two ways to run LED patterns.
+
+1) Legacy interface - enginex_mode, enginex_load and enginex_leds
+
+ Control interface for the engines:
+
+ x is 1 .. 3
+
+ enginex_mode:
+ disabled, load, run
+ enginex_load:
+ microcode load
+ enginex_leds:
+ led mux control
+
+ ::
+
+ cd /sys/class/leds/lp5523:channel2/device
+ echo "load" > engine3_mode
+ echo "9d80400004ff05ff437f0000" > engine3_load
+ echo "111111111" > engine3_leds
+ echo "run" > engine3_mode
+
+ To stop the engine::
+
+ echo "disabled" > engine3_mode
+
+2) Firmware interface - LP55xx common interface
+
+For the details, please refer to 'firmware' section in leds-lp55xx.txt
+
+LP5523 has three master faders. If a channel is mapped to one of
+the master faders, its output is dimmed based on the value of the master
+fader.
+
+For example::
+
+ echo "123000123" > master_fader_leds
+
+creates the following channel-fader mappings::
+
+ channel 0,6 to master_fader1
+ channel 1,7 to master_fader2
+ channel 2,8 to master_fader3
+
+Then, to have 25% of the original output on channel 0,6::
+
+ echo 64 > master_fader1
+
+To have 0% of the original output (i.e. no output) channel 1,7::
+
+ echo 0 > master_fader2
+
+To have 100% of the original output (i.e. no dimming) on channel 2,8::
+
+ echo 255 > master_fader3
+
+To clear all master fader controls::
+
+ echo "000000000" > master_fader_leds
+
+Selftest uses always the current from the platform data.
+
+Each channel contains led current settings.

+===========
+
+ LP5562 can drive up to 4 channels. R/G/B and White.
+ LEDs can be controlled directly via the led class control interface.
+
+ All four channels can be also controlled using the engine micro programs.

+================
+
+engine_mux
+ 3 Engines are allocated in LP5562, but the number of channel is 4.
+ Therefore each channel should be mapped to the engine number.
+
+ Value: RGB or W
+
+ This attribute is used for programming LED data with the firmware interface.
+ Unlike the LP5521/LP5523/55231, LP5562 has unique feature for the engine mux,

+ Red ... Engine 1 (fixed)
+ Green ... Engine 2 (fixed)
+ Blue ... Engine 3 (fixed)
+ White ... Engine 1 or 2 or 3 (selective)
+ ===== === ===============================
+
+How to load the program data using engine_mux
+=============================================
+
+ Before loading the LP5562 program data, engine_mux should be written between
+ the engine selection and loading the firmware.
+ Engine mux has two different mode, RGB and W.
+ RGB is used for loading RGB program data, W is used for W program data.
+
+ For example, run blinking green channel pattern::
+
+ echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine # 2 is for green channel
+ echo "RGB" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine_mux # engine mux for RGB
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/loading
+ echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/loading
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+ To run a blinking white pattern::
+
+ echo 1 or 2 or 3 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ echo "W" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine_mux
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/loading

+The LP55xx common driver provides these features using exported functions.
+
+ lp55xx_init_device() / lp55xx_deinit_device()
+ lp55xx_register_leds() / lp55xx_unregister_leds()
+ lp55xx_regsister_sysfs() / lp55xx_unregister_sysfs()
+
+( Driver Structure Data )
+
+In lp55xx common driver, two different data structure is used.
+
+* lp55xx_led
+ control multi output LED channels such as led current, channel index.
+* lp55xx_chip
+ general chip control such like the I2C and platform data.
+
+For example, LP5521 has maximum 3 LED channels.
+LP5523/55231 has 9 output channels::
+
+ lp55xx_chip for LP5521 ... lp55xx_led #1
+ lp55xx_led #2
+ lp55xx_led #3
+
+ lp55xx_chip for LP5523 ... lp55xx_led #1
+ lp55xx_led #2
+ .
+ .
+ lp55xx_led #9
+
+( Chip Dependent Code )
+
+To support device specific configurations, special structure
+'lpxx_device_config' is used.
+
+ - Maximum number of channels
+ - Reset command, chip enable command
+ - Chip specific initialization
+ - Brightness control register access
+ - Setting LED output current
+ - Program memory address access for running patterns
+ - Additional device specific attributes
+
+( Firmware Interface )
+
+LP55xx family devices have the internal program memory for running
+various LED patterns.
+
+This pattern data is saved as a file in the user-land or
+hex byte string is written into the memory through the I2C.
+
+LP55xx common driver supports the firmware interface.
+
+LP55xx chips have three program engines.
+
+To load and run the pattern, the programming sequence is following.
+
+ (1) Select an engine number (1/2/3)
+ (2) Mode change to load
+ (3) Write pattern data into selected area
+ (4) Mode change to run
+
+The LP55xx common driver provides simple interfaces as below.
+
+select_engine:
+ Select which engine is used for running program
+run_engine:
+ Start program which is loaded via the firmware interface
+firmware:
+ Load program data
+
+In case of LP5523, one more command is required, 'enginex_leds'.
+It is used for selecting LED output(s) at each engine number.
+In more details, please refer to 'leds-lp5523.txt'.
+
+For example, run blinking pattern in engine #1 of LP5521::
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
+ echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+For example, run blinking pattern in engine #3 of LP55231
+
+Two LEDs are configured as pattern output channels::
+
+ echo 3 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/loading
+ echo "9d0740ff7e0040007e00a0010000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/loading
+ echo "000001100" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine3_leds
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+To start blinking patterns in engine #2 and #3 simultaneously::
+
+ for idx in 2 3
+ do
+ echo $idx > /sys/class/leds/red/device/select_engine
+ sleep 0.1
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
+ echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
+ done
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/red/device/run_engine
+
+Here is another example for LP5523.
+
+Full LED strings are selected by 'engine2_leds'::
+
+ echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/loading
+ echo "9d80400004ff05ff437f0000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/loading
+ echo "111111111" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine2_leds
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+As soon as 'loading' is set to 0, registered callback is called.
+Inside the callback, the selected engine is loaded and memory is updated.
+To run programmed pattern, 'run_engine' attribute should be enabled.
+
+The pattern sequence of LP8501 is similar to LP5523.
+
+However pattern data is specific.
+
+Ex 1) Engine 1 is used::
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+ echo "9d0140ff7e0040007e00a001c000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+Ex 2) Engine 2 and 3 are used at the same time::
+
+ echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ sleep 1
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+ echo "9d0140ff7e0040007e00a001c000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+ sleep 1
+ echo 3 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ sleep 1
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+ echo "9d0340ff7e0040007e00a001c000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+ sleep 1
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/d1/device/run_engine
+
+( 'run_engine' and 'firmware_cb' )
+
+The sequence of running the program data is common.
+
+But each device has own specific register addresses for commands.
+
+To support this, 'run_engine' and 'firmware_cb' are configurable in each driver.
+
+run_engine:
+ Control the selected engine
+firmware_cb:
+ The callback function after loading the firmware is done.
+
+ Chip specific commands for loading and updating program memory.
+
+( Predefined pattern data )
+
+Without the firmware interface, LP55xx driver provides another method for
+loading a LED pattern. That is 'predefined' pattern.
+
+A predefined pattern is defined in the platform data and load it(or them)
+via the sysfs if needed.
+
+To use the predefined pattern concept, 'patterns' and 'num_patterns' should be
+configured.
+
+Example of predefined pattern data::
+
+ /* mode_1: blinking data */
+ static const u8 mode_1[] = {
+ 0x40, 0x00, 0x60, 0x00, 0x40, 0xFF, 0x60, 0x00,
+ };
+
+ /* mode_2: always on */
+ static const u8 mode_2[] = { 0x40, 0xFF, };
+
+ struct lp55xx_predef_pattern board_led_patterns[] = {
+ {
+ .r = mode_1,
+ .size_r = ARRAY_SIZE(mode_1),
+ },
+ {
+ .b = mode_2,
+ .size_b = ARRAY_SIZE(mode_2),
+ },
+ }
+
+ struct lp55xx_platform_data lp5562_pdata = {
+ ...
+ .patterns = board_led_patterns,
+ .num_patterns = ARRAY_SIZE(board_led_patterns),
+ };
+
+Then, mode_1 and mode_2 can be run via through the sysfs::
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern # red blinking LED pattern
+ echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern # blue LED always on
+
+To stop running pattern::
+
+ echo 0 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern

+====================
+Rebasing and merging
+====================
+
+Maintaining a subsystem, as a general rule, requires a familiarity with the
+Git source-code management system. Git is a powerful tool with a lot of
+features; as is often the case with such tools, there are right and wrong
+ways to use those features. This document looks in particular at the use
+of rebasing and merging. Maintainers often get in trouble when they use
+those tools incorrectly, but avoiding problems is not actually all that
+hard.
+
+One thing to be aware of in general is that, unlike many other projects,
+the kernel community is not scared by seeing merge commits in its
+development history. Indeed, given the scale of the project, avoiding
+merges would be nearly impossible. Some problems encountered by
+maintainers result from a desire to avoid merges, while others come from
+merging a little too often.
+
+Rebasing
+========
+
+"Rebasing" is the process of changing the history of a series of commits
+within a repository. There are two different types of operations that are
+referred to as rebasing since both are done with the ``git rebase``
+command, but there are significant differences between them:
+
+ - Changing the parent (starting) commit upon which a series of patches is
+ built. For example, a rebase operation could take a patch set built on
+ the previous kernel release and base it, instead, on the current
+ release. We'll call this operation "reparenting" in the discussion
+ below.
+
+ - Changing the history of a set of patches by fixing (or deleting) broken
+ commits, adding patches, adding tags to commit changelogs, or changing
+ the order in which commits are applied. In the following text, this
+ type of operation will be referred to as "history modification"
+
+The term "rebasing" will be used to refer to both of the above operations.
+Used properly, rebasing can yield a cleaner and clearer development
+history; used improperly, it can obscure that history and introduce bugs.
+
+There are a few rules of thumb that can help developers to avoid the worst
+perils of rebasing:
+
+ - History that has been exposed to the world beyond your private system
+ should usually not be changed. Others may have pulled a copy of your
+ tree and built on it; modifying your tree will create pain for them. If
+ work is in need of rebasing, that is usually a sign that it is not yet
+ ready to be committed to a public repository.
+
+ That said, there are always exceptions. Some trees (linux-next being
+ a significant example) are frequently rebased by their nature, and
+ developers know not to base work on them. Developers will sometimes
+ expose an unstable branch for others to test with or for automated
+ testing services. If you do expose a branch that may be unstable in
+ this way, be sure that prospective users know not to base work on it.
+
+ - Do not rebase a branch that contains history created by others. If you
+ have pulled changes from another developer's repository, you are now a
+ custodian of their history. You should not change it. With few
+ exceptions, for example, a broken commit in a tree like this should be
+ explicitly reverted rather than disappeared via history modification.
+
+ - Do not reparent a tree without a good reason to do so. Just being on a
+ newer base or avoiding a merge with an upstream repository is not
+ generally a good reason.
+
+ - If you must reparent a repository, do not pick some random kernel commit
+ as the new base. The kernel is often in a relatively unstable state
+ between release points; basing development on one of those points
+ increases the chances of running into surprising bugs. When a patch
+ series must move to a new base, pick a stable point (such as one of
+ the -rc releases) to move to.
+
+ - Realize that reparenting a patch series (or making significant history
+ modifications) changes the environment in which it was developed and,
+ likely, invalidates much of the testing that was done. A reparented
+ patch series should, as a general rule, be treated like new code and
+ retested from the beginning.
+
+A frequent cause of merge-window trouble is when Linus is presented with a
+patch series that has clearly been reparented, often to a random commit,
+shortly before the pull request was sent. The chances of such a series
+having been adequately tested are relatively low - as are the chances of
+the pull request being acted upon.
+
+If, instead, rebasing is limited to private trees, commits are based on a
+well-known starting point, and they are well tested, the potential for
+trouble is low.
+
+Merging
+=======
+
+Merging is a common operation in the kernel development process; the 5.1
+development cycle included 1,126 merge commits - nearly 9% of the total.
+Kernel work is accumulated in over 100 different subsystem trees, each of
+which may contain multiple topic branches; each branch is usually developed
+independently of the others. So naturally, at least one merge will be
+required before any given branch finds its way into an upstream repository.
+
+Many projects require that branches in pull requests be based on the
+current trunk so that no merge commits appear in the history. The kernel
+is not such a project; any rebasing of branches to avoid merges will, most
+likely, lead to trouble.
+
+Subsystem maintainers find themselves having to do two types of merges:
+from lower-level subsystem trees and from others, either sibling trees or
+the mainline. The best practices to follow differ in those two situations.
+
+Merging from lower-level trees
+------------------------------
+
+Larger subsystems tend to have multiple levels of maintainers, with the
+lower-level maintainers sending pull requests to the higher levels. Acting
+on such a pull request will almost certainly generate a merge commit; that
+is as it should be. In fact, subsystem maintainers may want to use
+the --no-ff flag to force the addition of a merge commit in the rare cases
+where one would not normally be created so that the reasons for the merge
+can be recorded. The changelog for the merge should, for any kind of
+merge, say *why* the merge is being done. For a lower-level tree, "why" is
+usually a summary of the changes that will come with that pull.
+
+Maintainers at all levels should be using signed tags on their pull
+requests, and upstream maintainers should verify the tags when pulling
+branches. Failure to do so threatens the security of the development
+process as a whole.
+
+As per the rules outlined above, once you have merged somebody else's
+history into your tree, you cannot rebase that branch, even if you
+otherwise would be able to.
+
+Merging from sibling or upstream trees
+--------------------------------------
+
+While merges from downstream are common and unremarkable, merges from other
+trees tend to be a red flag when it comes time to push a branch upstream.
+Such merges need to be carefully thought about and well justified, or
+there's a good chance that a subsequent pull request will be rejected.
+
+It is natural to want to merge the master branch into a repository; this
+type of merge is often called a "back merge". Back merges can help to make
+sure that there are no conflicts with parallel development and generally
+gives a warm, fuzzy feeling of being up-to-date. But this temptation
+should be avoided almost all of the time.
+
+Why is that? Back merges will muddy the development history of your own
+branch. They will significantly increase your chances of encountering bugs
+from elsewhere in the community and make it hard to ensure that the work
+you are managing is stable and ready for upstream. Frequent merges can
+also obscure problems with the development process in your tree; they can
+hide interactions with other trees that should not be happening (often) in
+a well-managed branch.
+
+That said, back merges are occasionally required; when that happens, be
+sure to document *why* it was required in the commit message. As always,
+merge to a well-known stable point, rather than to some random commit.
+Even then, you should not back merge a tree above your immediate upstream
+tree; if a higher-level back merge is really required, the upstream tree
+should do it first.
+
+One of the most frequent causes of merge-related trouble is when a
+maintainer merges with the upstream in order to resolve merge conflicts
+before sending a pull request. Again, this temptation is easy enough to
+understand, but it should absolutely be avoided. This is especially true
+for the final pull request: Linus is adamant that he would much rather see
+merge conflicts than unnecessary back merges. Seeing the conflicts lets
+him know where potential problem areas are. He does a lot of merges (382
+in the 5.1 development cycle) and has gotten quite good at conflict
+resolution - often better than the developers involved.
+
+So what should a maintainer do when there is a conflict between their
+subsystem branch and the mainline? The most important step is to warn
+Linus in the pull request that the conflict will happen; if nothing else,
+that demonstrates an awareness of how your branch fits into the whole. For
+especially difficult conflicts, create and push a *separate* branch to show
+how you would resolve things. Mention that branch in your pull request,
+but the pull request itself should be for the unmerged branch.
+
+Even in the absence of known conflicts, doing a test merge before sending a
+pull request is a good idea. It may alert you to problems that you somehow
+didn't see from linux-next and helps to understand exactly what you are
+asking upstream to do.
+
+Another reason for doing merges of upstream or another subsystem tree is to
+resolve dependencies. These dependency issues do happen at times, and
+sometimes a cross-merge with another tree is the best way to resolve them;
+as always, in such situations, the merge commit should explain why the
+merge has been done. Take a moment to do it right; people will read those
+changelogs.
+
+Often, though, dependency issues indicate that a change of approach is
+needed. Merging another subsystem tree to resolve a dependency risks
+bringing in other bugs and should almost never be done. If that subsystem
+tree fails to be pulled upstream, whatever problems it had will block the
+merging of your tree as well. Preferable alternatives include agreeing
+with the maintainer to carry both sets of changes in one of the trees or
+creating a topic branch dedicated to the prerequisite commits that can be
+merged into both trees. If the dependency is related to major
+infrastructural changes, the right solution might be to hold the dependent
+commits for one development cycle so that those changes have time to
+stabilize in the mainline.
+
+Finally
+=======
+
+It is relatively common to merge with the mainline toward the beginning of
+the development cycle in order to pick up changes and fixes done elsewhere
+in the tree. As always, such a merge should pick a well-known release
+point rather than some random spot. If your upstream-bound branch has
+emptied entirely into the mainline during the merge window, you can pull it
+forward with a command like::
+
+ git merge v5.2-rc1^0
+
+The "^0" will cause Git to do a fast-forward merge (which should be
+possible in this situation), thus avoiding the addition of a spurious merge
+commit.
+
+The guidelines laid out above are just that: guidelines. There will always
+be situations that call out for a different solution, and these guidelines
+should not prevent developers from doing the right thing when the need
+arises. But one should always think about whether the need has truly
+arisen and be prepared to explain why something abnormal needs to be done.

+The Virtual Media Controller Driver (vimc)
+==========================================
+
+The vimc driver emulates complex video hardware using the V4L2 API and the Media
+API. It has a capture device and three subdevices: sensor, debayer and scaler.
+
+Topology
+--------
+
+The topology is hardcoded, although you could modify it in vimc-core and
+recompile the driver to achieve your own topology. This is the default topology:
+
+.. _vimc_topology_graph:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: vimc.dot
+ :alt: vimc.dot
+ :align: center
+
+ Media pipeline graph on vimc
+
+Configuring the topology
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each subdevice will come with its default configuration (pixelformat, height,
+width, ...). One needs to configure the topology in order to match the
+configuration on each linked subdevice to stream frames through the pipeline.
+If the configuration doesn't match, the stream will fail. The ``v4l-utils``
+package is a bundle of user-space applications, that comes with ``media-ctl`` and
+``v4l2-ctl`` that can be used to configure the vimc configuration. This sequence
+of commands fits for the default topology:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Sensor A":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]'
+ media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Debayer A":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]'
+ media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Sensor B":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]'
+ media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Debayer B":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]'
+ v4l2-ctl -z platform:vimc -d "RGB/YUV Capture" -v width=1920,height=1440
+ v4l2-ctl -z platform:vimc -d "Raw Capture 0" -v pixelformat=BA81
+ v4l2-ctl -z platform:vimc -d "Raw Capture 1" -v pixelformat=BA81
+
+Subdevices
+----------
+
+Subdevices define the behavior of an entity in the topology. Depending on the
+subdevice, the entity can have multiple pads of type source or sink.
+
+vimc-sensor:
+ Generates images in several formats using video test pattern generator.
+ Exposes:
+
+ * 1 Pad source
+
+vimc-debayer:
+ Transforms images in bayer format into a non-bayer format.
+ Exposes:
+
+ * 1 Pad sink
+ * 1 Pad source
+
+vimc-scaler:
+ Scale up the image by a factor of 3. E.g.: a 640x480 image becomes a
+ 1920x1440 image. (this value can be configured, see at
+ `Module options`_).
+ Exposes:
+
+ * 1 Pad sink
+ * 1 Pad source
+
+vimc-capture:
+ Exposes node /dev/videoX to allow userspace to capture the stream.
+ Exposes:
+
+ * 1 Pad sink
+ * 1 Pad source
+
+Module options
+---------------
+
+Vimc has a few module parameters to configure the driver. You should pass
+those arguments to each subdevice, not to the vimc module. For example::
+
+ vimc_subdevice.param=value
+
+* ``vimc_scaler.sca_mult=<unsigned int>``
+
+ Image size multiplier factor to be used to multiply both width and
+ height, so the image size will be ``sca_mult^2`` bigger than the
+ original one. Currently, only supports scaling up (the default value
+ is 3).
+
+* ``vimc_debayer.deb_mean_win_size=<unsigned int>``
+
+ Window size to calculate the mean. Note: the window size needs to be an
+ odd number, as the main pixel stays in the center of the window,
+ otherwise the next odd number is considered (the default value is 3).

-Intel(R) Management Engine (ME) Client bus API
-==============================================
-
-
-Rationale
-=========
-
-MEI misc character device is useful for dedicated applications to send and receive
-data to the many FW appliance found in Intel's ME from the user space.
-However for some of the ME functionalities it make sense to leverage existing software
-stack and expose them through existing kernel subsystems.
-
-In order to plug seamlessly into the kernel device driver model we add kernel virtual
-bus abstraction on top of the MEI driver. This allows implementing linux kernel drivers
-for the various MEI features as a stand alone entities found in their respective subsystem.
-Existing device drivers can even potentially be re-used by adding an MEI CL bus layer to
-the existing code.
-
-
-MEI CL bus API
-==============
-
-A driver implementation for an MEI Client is very similar to existing bus
-based device drivers. The driver registers itself as an MEI CL bus driver through
-the mei_cl_driver structure:
-
-struct mei_cl_driver {
- struct device_driver driver;
- const char *name;
-
- const struct mei_cl_device_id *id_table;
-
- int (*probe)(struct mei_cl_device *dev, const struct mei_cl_id *id);
- int (*remove)(struct mei_cl_device *dev);
-};
-
-struct mei_cl_id {
- char name[MEI_NAME_SIZE];
- kernel_ulong_t driver_info;
-};
-
-The mei_cl_id structure allows the driver to bind itself against a device name.
-
-To actually register a driver on the ME Client bus one must call the mei_cl_add_driver()
-API. This is typically called at module init time.
-
-Once registered on the ME Client bus, a driver will typically try to do some I/O on
-this bus and this should be done through the mei_cl_send() and mei_cl_recv()
-routines. The latter is synchronous (blocks and sleeps until data shows up).
-In order for drivers to be notified of pending events waiting for them (e.g.
-an Rx event) they can register an event handler through the
-mei_cl_register_event_cb() routine. Currently only the MEI_EVENT_RX event
-will trigger an event handler call and the driver implementation is supposed
-to call mei_recv() from the event handler in order to fetch the pending
-received buffers.
-
-
-Example
-=======
-
-As a theoretical example let's pretend the ME comes with a "contact" NFC IP.
-The driver init and exit routines for this device would look like:
-
-#define CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME "contact"
-
-static struct mei_cl_device_id contact_mei_cl_tbl[] = {
- { CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME, },
-
- /* required last entry */
- { }
-};
-MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(mei_cl, contact_mei_cl_tbl);
-
-static struct mei_cl_driver contact_driver = {
- .id_table = contact_mei_tbl,
- .name = CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME,
-
- .probe = contact_probe,
- .remove = contact_remove,
-};
-
-static int contact_init(void)
-{
- int r;
-
- r = mei_cl_driver_register(&contact_driver);
- if (r) {
- pr_err(CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME ": driver registration failed\n");
- return r;
- }
-
- return 0;
-}
-
-static void __exit contact_exit(void)
-{
- mei_cl_driver_unregister(&contact_driver);
-}
-
-module_init(contact_init);
-module_exit(contact_exit);
-
-And the driver's simplified probe routine would look like that:
-
-int contact_probe(struct mei_cl_device *dev, struct mei_cl_device_id *id)
-{
- struct contact_driver *contact;
-
- [...]
- mei_cl_enable_device(dev);
-
- mei_cl_register_event_cb(dev, contact_event_cb, contact);
-
- return 0;
-}
-
-In the probe routine the driver first enable the MEI device and then registers
-an ME bus event handler which is as close as it can get to registering a
-threaded IRQ handler.
-The handler implementation will typically call some I/O routine depending on
-the pending events:
-
-#define MAX_NFC_PAYLOAD 128
-
-static void contact_event_cb(struct mei_cl_device *dev, u32 events,
- void *context)
-{
- struct contact_driver *contact = context;
-
- if (events & BIT(MEI_EVENT_RX)) {
- u8 payload[MAX_NFC_PAYLOAD];
- int payload_size;
-
- payload_size = mei_recv(dev, payload, MAX_NFC_PAYLOAD);
- if (payload_size <= 0)
- return;
-
- /* Hook to the NFC subsystem */
- nfc_hci_recv_frame(contact->hdev, payload, payload_size);
- }

-Intel(R) Management Engine Interface (Intel(R) MEI)
-===================================================
-
-Introduction
-============
-
-The Intel Management Engine (Intel ME) is an isolated and protected computing
-resource (Co-processor) residing inside certain Intel chipsets. The Intel ME
-provides support for computer/IT management features. The feature set
-depends on the Intel chipset SKU.
-
-The Intel Management Engine Interface (Intel MEI, previously known as HECI)
-is the interface between the Host and Intel ME. This interface is exposed
-to the host as a PCI device. The Intel MEI Driver is in charge of the
-communication channel between a host application and the Intel ME feature.
-
-Each Intel ME feature (Intel ME Client) is addressed by a GUID/UUID and
-each client has its own protocol. The protocol is message-based with a
-header and payload up to 512 bytes.
-
-Prominent usage of the Intel ME Interface is to communicate with Intel(R)
-Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) implemented in firmware running on
-the Intel ME.
-
-Intel AMT provides the ability to manage a host remotely out-of-band (OOB)
-even when the operating system running on the host processor has crashed or
-is in a sleep state.
-
-Some examples of Intel AMT usage are:
- - Monitoring hardware state and platform components
- - Remote power off/on (useful for green computing or overnight IT
- maintenance)
- - OS updates
- - Storage of useful platform information such as software assets
- - Built-in hardware KVM
- - Selective network isolation of Ethernet and IP protocol flows based
- on policies set by a remote management console
- - IDE device redirection from remote management console
-
-Intel AMT (OOB) communication is based on SOAP (deprecated
-starting with Release 6.0) over HTTP/S or WS-Management protocol over
-HTTP/S that are received from a remote management console application.
-
-For more information about Intel AMT:
-http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
-
-
-Intel MEI Driver
-================
-
-The driver exposes a misc device called /dev/mei.
-
-An application maintains communication with an Intel ME feature while
-/dev/mei is open. The binding to a specific feature is performed by calling
-MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT_IOCTL, which passes the desired UUID.
-The number of instances of an Intel ME feature that can be opened
-at the same time depends on the Intel ME feature, but most of the
-features allow only a single instance.
-
-The Intel AMT Host Interface (Intel AMTHI) feature supports multiple
-simultaneous user connected applications. The Intel MEI driver
-handles this internally by maintaining request queues for the applications.
-
-The driver is transparent to data that are passed between firmware feature
-and host application.
-
-Because some of the Intel ME features can change the system
-configuration, the driver by default allows only a privileged
-user to access it.
-
-A code snippet for an application communicating with Intel AMTHI client:
-
- struct mei_connect_client_data data;
- fd = open(MEI_DEVICE);
-
- data.d.in_client_uuid = AMTHI_UUID;
-
- ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT, &data);
-
- printf("Ver=%d, MaxLen=%ld\n",
- data.d.in_client_uuid.protocol_version,
- data.d.in_client_uuid.max_msg_length);
-
- [...]
-
- write(fd, amthi_req_data, amthi_req_data_len);
-
- [...]
-
- read(fd, &amthi_res_data, amthi_res_data_len);
-
- [...]
- close(fd);
-
-
-IOCTL
-=====
-
-The Intel MEI Driver supports the following IOCTL commands:
- IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT Connect to firmware Feature (client).
-
- usage:
- struct mei_connect_client_data clientData;
- ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT, &clientData);
-
- inputs:
- mei_connect_client_data struct contain the following
- input field:
-
- in_client_uuid - UUID of the FW Feature that needs
- to connect to.
- outputs:
- out_client_properties - Client Properties: MTU and Protocol Version.
-
- error returns:
- EINVAL Wrong IOCTL Number
- ENODEV Device or Connection is not initialized or ready.
- (e.g. Wrong UUID)
- ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory to client internal data.
- EFAULT Fatal Error (e.g. Unable to access user input data)
- EBUSY Connection Already Open
-
- Notes:
- max_msg_length (MTU) in client properties describes the maximum
- data that can be sent or received. (e.g. if MTU=2K, can send
- requests up to bytes 2k and received responses up to 2k bytes).
-
- IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_SET: enable or disable event notifications
-
- Usage:
- uint32_t enable;
- ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_SET, &enable);
-
- Inputs:
- uint32_t enable = 1;
- or
- uint32_t enable[disable] = 0;
-
- Error returns:
- EINVAL Wrong IOCTL Number
- ENODEV Device is not initialized or the client not connected
- ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory to client internal data.
- EFAULT Fatal Error (e.g. Unable to access user input data)
- EOPNOTSUPP if the device doesn't support the feature
-
- Notes:
- The client must be connected in order to enable notification events
-
-
- IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_GET : retrieve event
-
- Usage:
- uint32_t event;
- ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_GET, &event);
-
- Outputs:
- 1 - if an event is pending
- 0 - if there is no even pending
-
- Error returns:
- EINVAL Wrong IOCTL Number
- ENODEV Device is not initialized or the client not connected
- ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory to client internal data.
- EFAULT Fatal Error (e.g. Unable to access user input data)
- EOPNOTSUPP if the device doesn't support the feature
-
- Notes:
- The client must be connected and event notification has to be enabled
- in order to receive an event
-
-
-Intel ME Applications
-=====================
-
- 1) Intel Local Management Service (Intel LMS)
-
- Applications running locally on the platform communicate with Intel AMT Release
- 2.0 and later releases in the same way that network applications do via SOAP
- over HTTP (deprecated starting with Release 6.0) or with WS-Management over
- SOAP over HTTP. This means that some Intel AMT features can be accessed from a
- local application using the same network interface as a remote application
- communicating with Intel AMT over the network.
-
- When a local application sends a message addressed to the local Intel AMT host
- name, the Intel LMS, which listens for traffic directed to the host name,
- intercepts the message and routes it to the Intel MEI.
- For more information:
- http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
- Under "About Intel AMT" => "Local Access"
-
- For downloading Intel LMS:
- http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-intel-amt-open-source-drivers/
-
- The Intel LMS opens a connection using the Intel MEI driver to the Intel LMS
- firmware feature using a defined UUID and then communicates with the feature
- using a protocol called Intel AMT Port Forwarding Protocol (Intel APF protocol).
- The protocol is used to maintain multiple sessions with Intel AMT from a
- single application.
-
- See the protocol specification in the Intel AMT Software Development Kit (SDK)
- http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
- Under "SDK Resources" => "Intel(R) vPro(TM) Gateway (MPS)"
- => "Information for Intel(R) vPro(TM) Gateway Developers"
- => "Description of the Intel AMT Port Forwarding (APF) Protocol"
-
- 2) Intel AMT Remote configuration using a Local Agent
-
- A Local Agent enables IT personnel to configure Intel AMT out-of-the-box
- without requiring installing additional data to enable setup. The remote
- configuration process may involve an ISV-developed remote configuration

-Intel AMT OS Health Watchdog
-============================
-
-The Intel AMT Watchdog is an OS Health (Hang/Crash) watchdog.
-Whenever the OS hangs or crashes, Intel AMT will send an event
-to any subscriber to this event. This mechanism means that
-IT knows when a platform crashes even when there is a hard failure on the host.
-
-The Intel AMT Watchdog is composed of two parts:
- 1) Firmware feature - receives the heartbeats
- and sends an event when the heartbeats stop.
- 2) Intel MEI iAMT watchdog driver - connects to the watchdog feature,
- configures the watchdog and sends the heartbeats.
-
-The Intel iAMT watchdog MEI driver uses the kernel watchdog API to configure
-the Intel AMT Watchdog and to send heartbeats to it. The default timeout of the
-watchdog is 120 seconds.
-
-If the Intel AMT is not enabled in the firmware then the watchdog client won't enumerate
-on the me client bus and watchdog devices won't be exposed.

+ ---------------------
+ Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is
+ restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on
+ your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following:
+
+ dmesg -n 8
+
+ NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
+
+ Jumbo Frames
+ ------------
+ The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is
+ enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500.
+ The maximum value for the MTU is 16000. Use the `ip` command to
+ increase the MTU size. For example:
+
+ ip link set mtu 16000 dev enp1s0
+

+
+ RX flow rules (ntuple filters)
+ ---------------------------------
+ There are separate rules supported, that applies in that order:
+ 1. 16 VLAN ID rules
+ 2. 16 L2 EtherType rules
+ 3. 8 L3/L4 5-Tuple rules
+
+
+ The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for configuring ntuple filters,
+ via "ethtool -N <device> <filter>".
+
+ To enable or disable the RX flow rules:
+
+ ethtool -K ethX ntuple <on|off>
+
+ When disabling ntuple filters, all the user programed filters are
+ flushed from the driver cache and hardware. All needed filters must
+ be re-added when ntuple is re-enabled.
+
+ Because of the fixed order of the rules, the location of filters is also fixed:
+ - Locations 0 - 15 for VLAN ID filters
+ - Locations 16 - 31 for L2 EtherType filters
+ - Locations 32 - 39 for L3/L4 5-tuple filters (locations 32, 36 for IPv6)
+
+ The L3/L4 5-tuple (protocol, source and destination IP address, source and
+ destination TCP/UDP/SCTP port) is compared against 8 filters. For IPv4, up to
+ 8 source and destination addresses can be matched. For IPv6, up to 2 pairs of
+ addresses can be supported. Source and destination ports are only compared for
+ TCP/UDP/SCTP packets.
+
+ To add a filter that directs packet to queue 5, use <-N|-U|--config-nfc|--config-ntuple> switch:
+
+ ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type udp4 src-ip 10.0.0.1 dst-ip 10.0.0.2 src-port 2000 dst-port 2001 action 5 <loc 32>
+
+ - action is the queue number.
+ - loc is the rule number.
+
+ For "flow-type ip4|udp4|tcp4|sctp4|ip6|udp6|tcp6|sctp6" you must set the loc
+ number within 32 - 39.
+ For "flow-type ip4|udp4|tcp4|sctp4|ip6|udp6|tcp6|sctp6" you can set 8 rules
+ for traffic IPv4 or you can set 2 rules for traffic IPv6. Loc number traffic
+ IPv6 is 32 and 36.
+ At the moment you can not use IPv4 and IPv6 filters at the same time.
+
+ Example filter for IPv6 filter traffic:
+
+ sudo ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type tcp6 src-ip 2001:db8:0:f101::1 dst-ip 2001:db8:0:f101::2 action 1 loc 32
+ sudo ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type ip6 src-ip 2001:db8:0:f101::2 dst-ip 2001:db8:0:f101::5 action -1 loc 36
+
+ Example filter for IPv4 filter traffic:
+
+ sudo ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type udp4 src-ip 10.0.0.4 dst-ip 10.0.0.7 src-port 2000 dst-port 2001 loc 32
+ sudo ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type tcp4 src-ip 10.0.0.3 dst-ip 10.0.0.9 src-port 2000 dst-port 2001 loc 33
+ sudo ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type ip4 src-ip 10.0.0.6 dst-ip 10.0.0.4 loc 34
+
+ If you set action -1, then all traffic corresponding to the filter will be discarded.
+ The maximum value action is 31.
+
+
+ The VLAN filter (VLAN id) is compared against 16 filters.
+ VLAN id must be accompanied by mask 0xF000. That is to distinguish VLAN filter
+ from L2 Ethertype filter with UserPriority since both User Priority and VLAN ID
+ are passed in the same 'vlan' parameter.
+
+ To add a filter that directs packets from VLAN 2001 to queue 5:
+ ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type ip4 vlan 2001 m 0xF000 action 1 loc 0
+
+
+ L2 EtherType filters allows filter packet by EtherType field or both EtherType
+ and User Priority (PCP) field of 802.1Q.
+ UserPriority (vlan) parameter must be accompanied by mask 0x1FFF. That is to
+ distinguish VLAN filter from L2 Ethertype filter with UserPriority since both
+ User Priority and VLAN ID are passed in the same 'vlan' parameter.
+
+ To add a filter that directs IP4 packess of priority 3 to queue 3:
+ ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type ether proto 0x800 vlan 0x600 m 0x1FFF action 3 loc 16
+
+
+ To see the list of filters currently present:
+
+ ethtool <-u|-n|--show-nfc|--show-ntuple> <ethX>
+
+ Rules may be deleted from the table itself. This is done using:
+
+ sudo ethtool <-N|-U|--config-nfc|--config-ntuple> <ethX> delete <loc>
+
+ - loc is the rule number to be deleted.
+
+ Rx filters is an interface to load the filter table that funnels all flow
+ into queue 0 unless an alternative queue is specified using "action". In that
+ case, any flow that matches the filter criteria will be directed to the
+ appropriate queue. RX filters is supported on all kernels 2.6.30 and later.
+
+ RSS for UDP
+ ---------------------------------
+ Currently, NIC does not support RSS for fragmented IP packets, which leads to
+ incorrect working of RSS for fragmented UDP traffic. To disable RSS for UDP the
+ RX Flow L3/L4 rule may be used.
+
+ Example:
+ ethtool -N eth0 flow-type udp4 action 0 loc 32
+
+Command Line Parameters
+=======================
+The following command line parameters are available on atlantic driver:
+
+aq_itr -Interrupt throttling mode
+----------------------------------------
+Accepted values: 0, 1, 0xFFFF
+Default value: 0xFFFF
+0 - Disable interrupt throttling.
+1 - Enable interrupt throttling and use specified tx and rx rates.
+0xFFFF - Auto throttling mode. Driver will choose the best RX and TX
+ interrupt throtting settings based on link speed.
+
+aq_itr_tx - TX interrupt throttle rate
+----------------------------------------
+Accepted values: 0 - 0x1FF
+Default value: 0
+TX side throttling in microseconds. Adapter will setup maximum interrupt delay
+to this value. Minimum interrupt delay will be a half of this value
+
+aq_itr_rx - RX interrupt throttle rate
+----------------------------------------
+Accepted values: 0 - 0x1FF
+Default value: 0
+RX side throttling in microseconds. Adapter will setup maximum interrupt delay
+to this value. Minimum interrupt delay will be a half of this value
+
+Note: ITR settings could be changed in runtime by ethtool -c means (see below)
+
+Config file parameters
+=======================
+For some fine tuning and performance optimizations,
+some parameters can be changed in the {source_dir}/aq_cfg.h file.
+
+AQ_CFG_RX_PAGEORDER
+----------------------------------------
+Default value: 0
+RX page order override. Thats a power of 2 number of RX pages allocated for
+each descriptor. Received descriptor size is still limited by AQ_CFG_RX_FRAME_MAX.
+Increasing pageorder makes page reuse better (actual on iommu enabled systems).
+
+AQ_CFG_RX_REFILL_THRES
+----------------------------------------
+Default value: 32
+RX refill threshold. RX path will not refill freed descriptors until the
+specified number of free descriptors is observed. Larger values may help
+better page reuse but may lead to packet drops as well.
+
+AQ_CFG_VECS_DEF
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Number of queues
+Valid Range: 0 - 8 (up to AQ_CFG_VECS_MAX)
+Default value: 8
+Notice this value will be capped by the number of cores available on the system.
+
+AQ_CFG_IS_RSS_DEF
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Enable/disable Receive Side Scaling
+
+This feature allows the adapter to distribute receive processing
+across multiple CPU-cores and to prevent from overloading a single CPU core.
+
+Valid values
+0 - disabled
+1 - enabled
+
+Default value: 1
+
+AQ_CFG_NUM_RSS_QUEUES_DEF
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Number of queues for Receive Side Scaling
+Valid Range: 0 - 8 (up to AQ_CFG_VECS_DEF)
+
+Default value: AQ_CFG_VECS_DEF
+
+AQ_CFG_IS_LRO_DEF
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Enable/disable Large Receive Offload
+
+This offload enables the adapter to coalesce multiple TCP segments and indicate
+them as a single coalesced unit to the OS networking subsystem.
+The system consumes less energy but it also introduces more latency in packets processing.
+
+Valid values
+0 - disabled
+1 - enabled
+
+Default value: 1
+
+AQ_CFG_TX_CLEAN_BUDGET
+----------------------------------------
+Maximum descriptors to cleanup on TX at once.
+Default value: 256
+
+After the aq_cfg.h file changed the driver must be rebuilt to take effect.

+PCI Bars
+========
+The gVNIC PCI device exposes three 32-bit memory BARS:
+- Bar0 - Device configuration and status registers.
+- Bar1 - MSI-X vector table
+- Bar2 - IRQ, RX and TX doorbells
+
+Device Interactions
+===================
+The driver interacts with the device in the following ways:
+ - Registers
+ - A block of MMIO registers
+ - See gve_register.h for more detail
+ - Admin Queue
+ - See description below
+ - Reset
+ - At any time the device can be reset
+ - Interrupts
+ - See supported interrupts below
+ - Transmit and Receive Queues
+ - See description below
+
+Registers
+---------
+All registers are MMIO and big endian.
+
+The registers are used for initializing and configuring the device as well as
+querying device status in response to management interrupts.
+
+Admin Queue (AQ)
+----------------
+The Admin Queue is a PAGE_SIZE memory block, treated as an array of AQ
+commands, used by the driver to issue commands to the device and set up
+resources.The driver and the device maintain a count of how many commands
+have been submitted and executed. To issue AQ commands, the driver must do
+the following (with proper locking):
+
+1) Copy new commands into next available slots in the AQ array
+2) Increment its counter by he number of new commands
+3) Write the counter into the GVE_ADMIN_QUEUE_DOORBELL register
+4) Poll the ADMIN_QUEUE_EVENT_COUNTER register until it equals
+ the value written to the doorbell, or until a timeout.
+
+The device will update the status field in each AQ command reported as
+executed through the ADMIN_QUEUE_EVENT_COUNTER register.
+
+Device Resets
+-------------
+A device reset is triggered by writing 0x0 to the AQ PFN register.
+This causes the device to release all resources allocated by the
+driver, including the AQ itself.
+
+Interrupts
+----------
+The following interrupts are supported by the driver:
+
+Management Interrupt
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The management interrupt is used by the device to tell the driver to
+look at the GVE_DEVICE_STATUS register.
+
+The handler for the management irq simply queues the service task in
+the workqueue to check the register and acks the irq.
+
+Notification Block Interrupts
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The notification block interrupts are used to tell the driver to poll
+the queues associated with that interrupt.
+
+The handler for these irqs schedule the napi for that block to run
+and poll the queues.
+
+Traffic Queues
+--------------
+gVNIC's queues are composed of a descriptor ring and a buffer and are
+assigned to a notification block.
+
+The descriptor rings are power-of-two-sized ring buffers consisting of
+fixed-size descriptors. They advance their head pointer using a __be32
+doorbell located in Bar2. The tail pointers are advanced by consuming
+descriptors in-order and updating a __be32 counter. Both the doorbell
+and the counter overflow to zero.
+
+Each queue's buffers must be registered in advance with the device as a
+queue page list, and packet data can only be put in those pages.
+
+Transmit
+~~~~~~~~
+gve maps the buffers for transmit rings into a FIFO and copies the packets
+into the FIFO before sending them to the NIC.
+
+Receive
+~~~~~~~
+The buffers for receive rings are put into a data ring that is the same
+length as the descriptor ring and the head and tail pointers advance over
+the rings together.

+Enabling the driver and kconfig options
+================================================
+
+| mlx5 core is modular and most of the major mlx5 core driver features can be selected (compiled in/out)
+| at build time via kernel Kconfig flags.
+| Basic features, ethernet net device rx/tx offloads and XDP, are available with the most basic flags
+| CONFIG_MLX5_CORE=y/m and CONFIG_MLX5_CORE_EN=y.
+| For the list of advanced features please see below.
+
+**CONFIG_MLX5_CORE=(y/m/n)** (module mlx5_core.ko)

+- CONFIG_MLXFW: When chosen, mlx5 firmware flashing support will be enabled (via devlink and ethtool).
+
+Devlink info
+============
+
+The devlink info reports the running and stored firmware versions on device.
+It also prints the device PSID which represents the HCA board type ID.
+
+User command example::
+
+ $ devlink dev info pci/0000:00:06.0
+ pci/0000:00:06.0:
+ driver mlx5_core
+ versions:
+ fixed:
+ fw.psid MT_0000000009
+ running:
+ fw.version 16.26.0100
+ stored:
+ fw.version 16.26.0100
+
+Devlink health reporters
+========================
+
+tx reporter
+-----------
+The tx reporter is responsible of two error scenarios:
+
+- TX timeout
+ Report on kernel tx timeout detection.
+ Recover by searching lost interrupts.
+- TX error completion
+ Report on error tx completion.
+ Recover by flushing the TX queue and reset it.
+
+TX reporter also support Diagnose callback, on which it provides
+real time information of its send queues status.
+
+User commands examples:
+
+- Diagnose send queues status::
+
+ $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter tx
+
+- Show number of tx errors indicated, number of recover flows ended successfully,
+ is autorecover enabled and graceful period from last recover::
+
+ $ devlink health show pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter tx
+
+fw reporter
+-----------
+The fw reporter implements diagnose and dump callbacks.
+It follows symptoms of fw error such as fw syndrome by triggering
+fw core dump and storing it into the dump buffer.
+The fw reporter diagnose command can be triggered any time by the user to check
+current fw status.
+
+User commands examples:
+
+- Check fw heath status::
+
+ $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter fw
+
+- Read FW core dump if already stored or trigger new one::
+
+ $ devlink health dump show pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter fw
+
+NOTE: This command can run only on the PF which has fw tracer ownership,
+running it on other PF or any VF will return "Operation not permitted".
+
+fw fatal reporter
+-----------------
+The fw fatal reporter implements dump and recover callbacks.
+It follows fatal errors indications by CR-space dump and recover flow.
+The CR-space dump uses vsc interface which is valid even if the FW command
+interface is not functional, which is the case in most FW fatal errors.
+The recover function runs recover flow which reloads the driver and triggers fw
+reset if needed.
+
+User commands examples:
+
+- Run fw recover flow manually::
+
+ $ devlink health recover pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter fw_fatal
+
+- Read FW CR-space dump if already strored or trigger new one::
+
+ $ devlink health dump show pci/0000:82:00.1 reporter fw_fatal
+
+NOTE: This command can run only on PF.

+==========================================
+Broadcom RoboSwitch Ethernet switch driver
+==========================================
+
+The Broadcom RoboSwitch Ethernet switch family is used in quite a range of
+xDSL router, cable modems and other multimedia devices.
+
+The actual implementation supports the devices BCM5325E, BCM5365, BCM539x,
+BCM53115 and BCM53125 as well as BCM63XX.
+
+Implementation details
+======================
+
+The driver is located in ``drivers/net/dsa/b53/`` and is implemented as a
+DSA driver; see ``Documentation/networking/dsa/dsa.rst`` for details on the
+subsystem and what it provides.
+
+The switch is, if possible, configured to enable a Broadcom specific 4-bytes
+switch tag which gets inserted by the switch for every packet forwarded to the
+CPU interface, conversely, the CPU network interface should insert a similar
+tag for packets entering the CPU port. The tag format is described in
+``net/dsa/tag_brcm.c``.
+
+The configuration of the device depends on whether or not tagging is
+supported.
+
+The interface names and example network configuration are used according the
+configuration described in the :ref:`dsa-config-showcases`.
+
+Configuration with tagging support
+----------------------------------
+
+The tagging based configuration is desired. It is not specific to the b53
+DSA driver and will work like all DSA drivers which supports tagging.
+
+See :ref:`dsa-tagged-configuration`.
+
+Configuration without tagging support
+-------------------------------------
+
+Older models (5325, 5365) support a different tag format that is not supported
+yet. 539x and 531x5 require managed mode and some special handling, which is
+also not yet supported. The tagging support is disabled in these cases and the
+switch need a different configuration.
+
+The configuration slightly differ from the :ref:`dsa-vlan-configuration`.
+
+The b53 tags the CPU port in all VLANs, since otherwise any PVID untagged
+VLAN programming would basically change the CPU port's default PVID and make
+it untagged, undesirable.
+
+In difference to the configuration described in :ref:`dsa-vlan-configuration`
+the default VLAN 1 has to be removed from the slave interface configuration in
+single port and gateway configuration, while there is no need to add an extra
+VLAN configuration in the bridge showcase.
+
+single port
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+The configuration can only be set up via VLAN tagging and bridge setup.
+By default packages are tagged with vid 1:
+

+=======================================
+DSA switch configuration from userspace
+=======================================
+
+The DSA switch configuration is not integrated into the main userspace
+network configuration suites by now and has to be performed manualy.
+
+.. _dsa-config-showcases:
+
+Configuration showcases
+-----------------------
+
+To configure a DSA switch a couple of commands need to be executed. In this
+documentation some common configuration scenarios are handled as showcases:
+
+*single port*
+ Every switch port acts as a different configurable Ethernet port
+
+*bridge*
+ Every switch port is part of one configurable Ethernet bridge
+
+*gateway*
+ Every switch port except one upstream port is part of a configurable
+ Ethernet bridge.
+ The upstream port acts as different configurable Ethernet port.
+
+All configurations are performed with tools from iproute2, which is available
+at https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/net/iproute2/
+
+Through DSA every port of a switch is handled like a normal linux Ethernet
+interface. The CPU port is the switch port connected to an Ethernet MAC chip.
+The corresponding linux Ethernet interface is called the master interface.
+All other corresponding linux interfaces are called slave interfaces.
+
+The slave interfaces depend on the master interface. They can only brought up,
+when the master interface is up.
+
+In this documentation the following Ethernet interfaces are used:
+
+*eth0*
+ the master interface
+
+*lan1*
+ a slave interface
+
+*lan2*
+ another slave interface
+
+*lan3*
+ a third slave interface
+
+*wan*
+ A slave interface dedicated for upstream traffic
+
+Further Ethernet interfaces can be configured similar.
+The configured IPs and networks are:
+
+*single port*
+ * lan1: 192.0.2.1/30 (192.0.2.0 - 192.0.2.3)
+ * lan2: 192.0.2.5/30 (192.0.2.4 - 192.0.2.7)
+ * lan3: 192.0.2.9/30 (192.0.2.8 - 192.0.2.11)
+
+*bridge*
+ * br0: 192.0.2.129/25 (192.0.2.128 - 192.0.2.255)
+
+*gateway*
+ * br0: 192.0.2.129/25 (192.0.2.128 - 192.0.2.255)
+ * wan: 192.0.2.1/30 (192.0.2.0 - 192.0.2.3)
+
+.. _dsa-tagged-configuration:
+
+Configuration with tagging support

+
+The tagging based configuration is desired and supported by the majority of
+DSA switches. These switches are capable to tag incoming and outgoing traffic
+without using a VLAN based configuration.

+PHY interface modes
+===================
+
+The PHY interface mode supplied in the phy_connect() family of functions
+defines the initial operating mode of the PHY interface. This is not
+guaranteed to remain constant; there are PHYs which dynamically change
+their interface mode without software interaction depending on the
+negotiation results.
+
+Some of the interface modes are described below:
+
+``PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_1000BASEX``
+ This defines the 1000BASE-X single-lane serdes link as defined by the
+ 802.3 standard section 36. The link operates at a fixed bit rate of
+ 1.25Gbaud using a 10B/8B encoding scheme, resulting in an underlying
+ data rate of 1Gbps. Embedded in the data stream is a 16-bit control
+ word which is used to negotiate the duplex and pause modes with the
+ remote end. This does not include "up-clocked" variants such as 2.5Gbps
+ speeds (see below.)
+
+``PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_2500BASEX``
+ This defines a variant of 1000BASE-X which is clocked 2.5 times faster,
+ than the 802.3 standard giving a fixed bit rate of 3.125Gbaud.
+
+``PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_SGMII``
+ This is used for Cisco SGMII, which is a modification of 1000BASE-X
+ as defined by the 802.3 standard. The SGMII link consists of a single
+ serdes lane running at a fixed bit rate of 1.25Gbaud with 10B/8B
+ encoding. The underlying data rate is 1Gbps, with the slower speeds of
+ 100Mbps and 10Mbps being achieved through replication of each data symbol.
+ The 802.3 control word is re-purposed to send the negotiated speed and
+ duplex information from to the MAC, and for the MAC to acknowledge
+ receipt. This does not include "up-clocked" variants such as 2.5Gbps
+ speeds.
+
+ Note: mismatched SGMII vs 1000BASE-X configuration on a link can
+ successfully pass data in some circumstances, but the 16-bit control
+ word will not be correctly interpreted, which may cause mismatches in
+ duplex, pause or other settings. This is dependent on the MAC and/or
+ PHY behaviour.

-Register Set
-============
-The current architectures have the following registers.
-
-16 General propose registers, 32 bit on s/390 and 64 bit on z/Architecture,
-r0-r15 (or gpr0-gpr15), used for arithmetic and addressing.
-
-16 Control registers, 32 bit on s/390 and 64 bit on z/Architecture, cr0-cr15,
-kernel usage only, used for memory management, interrupt control, debugging
-control etc.
-
-16 Access registers (ar0-ar15), 32 bit on both s/390 and z/Architecture,
-normally not used by normal programs but potentially could be used as
-temporary storage. These registers have a 1:1 association with general
-purpose registers and are designed to be used in the so-called access
-register mode to select different address spaces.
-Access register 0 (and access register 1 on z/Architecture, which needs a
-64 bit pointer) is currently used by the pthread library as a pointer to
-the current running threads private area.
-
-16 64 bit floating point registers (fp0-fp15 ) IEEE & HFP floating
-point format compliant on G5 upwards & a Floating point control reg (FPC)
-4 64 bit registers (fp0,fp2,fp4 & fp6) HFP only on older machines.
-Note:
-Linux (currently) always uses IEEE & emulates G5 IEEE format on older machines,
-( provided the kernel is configured for this ).
-
-
-The PSW is the most important register on the machine it
-is 64 bit on s/390 & 128 bit on z/Architecture & serves the roles of
-a program counter (pc), condition code register,memory space designator.
-In IBM standard notation I am counting bit 0 as the MSB.
-It has several advantages over a normal program counter
-in that you can change address translation & program counter
-in a single instruction. To change address translation,
-e.g. switching address translation off requires that you
-have a logical=physical mapping for the address you are
-currently running at.

-Prefix Page(s)
---------------
-This per cpu memory area is too intimately tied to the processor not to mention.
-It exists between the real addresses 0-4096 on s/390 and between 0-8192 on
-z/Architecture and is exchanged with one page on s/390 or two pages on
-z/Architecture in absolute storage by the set prefix instruction during Linux
-startup.
-This page is mapped to a different prefix for each processor in an SMP
-configuration (assuming the OS designer is sane of course).
-Bytes 0-512 (200 hex) on s/390 and 0-512, 4096-4544, 4604-5119 currently on
-z/Architecture are used by the processor itself for holding such information
-as exception indications and entry points for exceptions.
-Bytes after 0xc00 hex are used by linux for per processor globals on s/390 and
-z/Architecture (there is a gap on z/Architecture currently between 0xc00 and
-0x1000, too, which is used by Linux).
-The closest thing to this on traditional architectures is the interrupt
-vector table. This is a good thing & does simplify some of the kernel coding
-however it means that we now cannot catch stray NULL pointers in the
-kernel without hard coded checks.
-

-Address Spaces on Intel Linux
-=============================
-
-The traditional Intel Linux is approximately mapped as follows forgive
-the ascii art.
-0xFFFFFFFF 4GB Himem *****************
- * *
- * Kernel Space *
- * *
- ***************** ****************
-User Space Himem * User Stack * * *
-(typically 0xC0000000 3GB ) ***************** * *

- ***************** * to *
- * * <== * Run * <==

- * Data BSS * * *
- * Text * * *
- * Sections * * *
-0x00000000 ***************** ****************
-
-Now it is easy to see that on Intel it is quite easy to recognise a kernel
-address as being one greater than user space himem (in this case 0xC0000000),
-and addresses of less than this are the ones in the current running program on
-this processor (if an smp box).
-If using the virtual machine ( VM ) as a debugger it is quite difficult to
-know which user process is running as the address space you are looking at
-could be from any process in the run queue.
-
-The limitation of Intels addressing technique is that the linux
-kernel uses a very simple real address to virtual addressing technique
-of Real Address=Virtual Address-User Space Himem.
-This means that on Intel the kernel linux can typically only address
-Himem=0xFFFFFFFF-0xC0000000=1GB & this is all the RAM these machines
-can typically use.
-They can lower User Himem to 2GB or lower & thus be
-able to use 2GB of RAM however this shrinks the maximum size
-of User Space from 3GB to 2GB they have a no win limit of 4GB unless
-they go to 64 Bit.
-
-
-On 390 our limitations & strengths make us slightly different.
-For backward compatibility we are only allowed use 31 bits (2GB)
-of our 32 bit addresses, however, we use entirely separate address
-spaces for the user & kernel.
-
-This means we can support 2GB of non Extended RAM on s/390, & more
-with the Extended memory management swap device &
-currently 4TB of physical memory currently on z/Architecture.
-
-
-Address Spaces on Linux for s/390 & z/Architecture
-==================================================
-
-Our addressing scheme is basically as follows:
-
- Primary Space Home Space
-Himem 0x7fffffff 2GB on s/390 ***************** ****************
-currently 0x3ffffffffff (2^42)-1 * User Stack * * *
-on z/Architecture. ***************** * *
- * Shared Libs * * *
- ***************** * *
- * * * Kernel *
- * User Program * * *
- * Data BSS * * *
- * Text * * *
- * Sections * * *
-0x00000000 ***************** ****************
-
-This also means that we need to look at the PSW problem state bit and the
-addressing mode to decide whether we are looking at user or kernel space.
-
-User space runs in primary address mode (or access register mode within
-the vdso code).
-
-The kernel usually also runs in home space mode, however when accessing
-user space the kernel switches to primary or secondary address mode if
-the mvcos instruction is not available or if a compare-and-swap (futex)
-instruction on a user space address is performed.
-
-When also looking at the ASCE control registers, this means:
-
-User space:
-- runs in primary or access register mode
-- cr1 contains the user asce
-- cr7 contains the user asce
-- cr13 contains the kernel asce
-
-Kernel space:
-- runs in home space mode
-- cr1 contains the user or kernel asce
- -> the kernel asce is loaded when a uaccess requires primary or
- secondary address mode
-- cr7 contains the user or kernel asce, (changed with set_fs())
-- cr13 contains the kernel asce
-
-In case of uaccess the kernel changes to:
-- primary space mode in case of a uaccess (copy_to_user) and uses
- e.g. the mvcp instruction to access user space. However the kernel
- will stay in home space mode if the mvcos instruction is available
-- secondary space mode in case of futex atomic operations, so that the
- instructions come from primary address space and data from secondary
- space
-
-In case of KVM, the kernel runs in home space mode, but cr1 gets switched
-to contain the gmap asce before the SIE instruction gets executed. When
-the SIE instruction is finished, cr1 will be switched back to contain the
-user asce.
-
-
-Virtual Addresses on s/390 & z/Architecture
-===========================================
-
-A virtual address on s/390 is made up of 3 parts
-The SX (segment index, roughly corresponding to the PGD & PMD in Linux
-terminology) being bits 1-11.
-The PX (page index, corresponding to the page table entry (pte) in Linux
-terminology) being bits 12-19.
-The remaining bits BX (the byte index are the offset in the page )
-i.e. bits 20 to 31.
-
-On z/Architecture in linux we currently make up an address from 4 parts.
-The region index bits (RX) 0-32 we currently use bits 22-32
-The segment index (SX) being bits 33-43
-The page index (PX) being bits 44-51
-The byte index (BX) being bits 52-63
-
-Notes:
-1) s/390 has no PMD so the PMD is really the PGD also.
-A lot of this stuff is defined in pgtable.h.
-
-2) Also seeing as s/390's page indexes are only 1k in size
-(bits 12-19 x 4 bytes per pte ) we use 1 ( page 4k )
-to make the best use of memory by updating 4 segment indices
-entries each time we mess with a PMD & use offsets
-0,1024,2048 & 3072 in this page as for our segment indexes.
-On z/Architecture our page indexes are now 2k in size
-( bits 12-19 x 8 bytes per pte ) we do a similar trick
-but only mess with 2 segment indices each time we mess with
-a PMD.
-
-3) As z/Architecture supports up to a massive 5-level page table lookup we
-can only use 3 currently on Linux ( as this is all the generic kernel
-currently supports ) however this may change in future
-this allows us to access ( according to my sums )
-4TB of virtual storage per process i.e.
-4096*512(PTES)*1024(PMDS)*2048(PGD) = 4398046511104 bytes,
-enough for another 2 or 3 of years I think :-).
-to do this we use a region-third-table designation type in
-our address space control registers.
-
-
-The Linux for s/390 & z/Architecture Kernel Task Structure
-==========================================================
-Each process/thread under Linux for S390 has its own kernel task_struct
-defined in linux/include/linux/sched.h
-The S390 on initialisation & resuming of a process on a cpu sets
-the __LC_KERNEL_STACK variable in the spare prefix area for this cpu
-(which we use for per-processor globals).
-
-The kernel stack pointer is intimately tied with the task structure for
-each processor as follows.
-
- s/390
- ************************
- * 1 page kernel stack *
- * ( 4K ) *
- ************************
- * 1 page task_struct *
- * ( 4K ) *
-8K aligned ************************
-
- z/Architecture
- ************************
- * 2 page kernel stack *
- * ( 8K ) *
- ************************
- * 2 page task_struct *
- * ( 8K ) *
-16K aligned ************************
-
-What this means is that we don't need to dedicate any register or global
-variable to point to the current running process & can retrieve it with the
-following very simple construct for s/390 & one very similar for z/Architecture.
-
-static inline struct task_struct * get_current(void)
-{
- struct task_struct *current;
- __asm__("lhi %0,-8192\n\t"
- "nr %0,15"
- : "=r" (current) );
- return current;
-}
-
-i.e. just anding the current kernel stack pointer with the mask -8192.
-Thankfully because Linux doesn't have support for nested IO interrupts
-& our devices have large buffers can survive interrupts being shut for
-short amounts of time we don't need a separate stack for interrupts.
-
-
-
-
-Register Usage & Stackframes on Linux for s/390 & z/Architecture
-=================================================================
-Overview:
----------
-This is the code that gcc produces at the top & the bottom of
-each function. It usually is fairly consistent & similar from
-function to function & if you know its layout you can probably
-make some headway in finding the ultimate cause of a problem
-after a crash without a source level debugger.
-
-Note: To follow stackframes requires a knowledge of C or Pascal &
-limited knowledge of one assembly language.
-
-It should be noted that there are some differences between the
-s/390 and z/Architecture stack layouts as the z/Architecture stack layout
-didn't have to maintain compatibility with older linkage formats.
-
-Glossary:
----------
-alloca:
-This is a built in compiler function for runtime allocation
-of extra space on the callers stack which is obviously freed
-up on function exit ( e.g. the caller may choose to allocate nothing
-of a buffer of 4k if required for temporary purposes ), it generates
-very efficient code ( a few cycles ) when compared to alternatives
-like malloc.
-
-automatics: These are local variables on the stack,
-i.e they aren't in registers & they aren't static.
-
-back-chain:
-This is a pointer to the stack pointer before entering a
-framed functions ( see frameless function ) prologue got by
-dereferencing the address of the current stack pointer,
- i.e. got by accessing the 32 bit value at the stack pointers
-current location.
-
-base-pointer:
-This is a pointer to the back of the literal pool which
-is an area just behind each procedure used to store constants
-in each function.
-
-call-clobbered: The caller probably needs to save these registers if there
-is something of value in them, on the stack or elsewhere before making a
-call to another procedure so that it can restore it later.
-
-epilogue:
-The code generated by the compiler to return to the caller.

-A frameless function in Linux for s390 & z/Architecture is one which doesn't
-need more than the register save area (96 bytes on s/390, 160 on z/Architecture)
-given to it by the caller.
-A frameless function never:
-1) Sets up a back chain.
-2) Calls alloca.
-3) Calls other normal functions
-4) Has automatics.
-
-GOT-pointer:
-This is a pointer to the global-offset-table in ELF
-( Executable Linkable Format, Linux'es most common executable format ),
-all globals & shared library objects are found using this pointer.
-
-lazy-binding
-ELF shared libraries are typically only loaded when routines in the shared
-library are actually first called at runtime. This is lazy binding.
-
-procedure-linkage-table
-This is a table found from the GOT which contains pointers to routines
-in other shared libraries which can't be called to by easier means.
-
-prologue:
-The code generated by the compiler to set up the stack frame.
-
-outgoing-args:
-This is extra area allocated on the stack of the calling function if the
-parameters for the callee's cannot all be put in registers, the same
-area can be reused by each function the caller calls.
-
-routine-descriptor:
-A COFF executable format based concept of a procedure reference
-actually being 8 bytes or more as opposed to a simple pointer to the routine.
-This is typically defined as follows
-Routine Descriptor offset 0=Pointer to Function
-Routine Descriptor offset 4=Pointer to Table of Contents
-The table of contents/TOC is roughly equivalent to a GOT pointer.
-& it means that shared libraries etc. can be shared between several
-environments each with their own TOC.
-
-
-static-chain: This is used in nested functions a concept adopted from pascal
-by gcc not used in ansi C or C++ ( although quite useful ), basically it
-is a pointer used to reference local variables of enclosing functions.
-You might come across this stuff once or twice in your lifetime.
-
-e.g.
-The function below should return 11 though gcc may get upset & toss warnings
-about unused variables.
-int FunctionA(int a)
-{
- int b;
- FunctionC(int c)
- {
- b=c+1;
- }
- FunctionC(10);
- return(b);

-s/390 & z/Architecture Register usage
-=====================================
-r0 used by syscalls/assembly call-clobbered
-r1 used by syscalls/assembly call-clobbered
-r2 argument 0 / return value 0 call-clobbered
-r3 argument 1 / return value 1 (if long long) call-clobbered
-r4 argument 2 call-clobbered
-r5 argument 3 call-clobbered
-r6 argument 4 saved
-r7 pointer-to arguments 5 to ... saved
-r8 this & that saved
-r9 this & that saved
-r10 static-chain ( if nested function ) saved
-r11 frame-pointer ( if function used alloca ) saved
-r12 got-pointer saved
-r13 base-pointer saved
-r14 return-address saved
-r15 stack-pointer saved
-
-f0 argument 0 / return value ( float/double ) call-clobbered
-f2 argument 1 call-clobbered
-f4 z/Architecture argument 2 saved
-f6 z/Architecture argument 3 saved
-The remaining floating points
-f1,f3,f5 f7-f15 are call-clobbered.
-
-Notes:
-------
-1) The only requirement is that registers which are used
-by the callee are saved, e.g. the compiler is perfectly
-capable of using r11 for purposes other than a frame a
-frame pointer if a frame pointer is not needed.
-2) In functions with variable arguments e.g. printf the calling procedure
-is identical to one without variable arguments & the same number of
-parameters. However, the prologue of this function is somewhat more
-hairy owing to it having to move these parameters to the stack to
-get va_start, va_arg & va_end to work.
-3) Access registers are currently unused by gcc but are used in
-the kernel. Possibilities exist to use them at the moment for
-temporary storage but it isn't recommended.
-4) Only 4 of the floating point registers are used for
-parameter passing as older machines such as G3 only have only 4
-& it keeps the stack frame compatible with other compilers.
-However with IEEE floating point emulation under linux on the
-older machines you are free to use the other 12.
-5) A long long or double parameter cannot be have the
-first 4 bytes in a register & the second four bytes in the
-outgoing args area. It must be purely in the outgoing args
-area if crossing this boundary.
-6) Floating point parameters are mixed with outgoing args
-on the outgoing args area in the order the are passed in as parameters.
-7) Floating point arguments 2 & 3 are saved in the outgoing args area for
-z/Architecture

-Comments on the function test
------------------------------
-1) It didn't need to set up a pointer to the constant pool gpr13 as it is not
-used ( :-( ).
-2) This is a frameless function & no stack is bought.
-3) The compiler was clever enough to recognise that it could return the
-value in r2 as well as use it for the passed in parameter ( :-) ).
-4) The basr ( branch relative & save ) trick works as follows the instruction
-has a special case with r0,r0 with some instruction operands is understood as
-the literal value 0, some risc architectures also do this ). So now
-we are branching to the next address & the address new program counter is
-in r13,so now we subtract the size of the function prologue we have executed
-+ the size of the literal pool to get to the top of the literal pool

-Compiling programs for debugging on Linux for s/390 & z/Architecture
-====================================================================
--gdwarf-2 now works it should be considered the default debugging
-format for s/390 & z/Architecture as it is more reliable for debugging
-shared libraries, normal -g debugging works much better now
-Thanks to the IBM java compiler developers bug reports.
-
-This is typically done adding/appending the flags -g or -gdwarf-2 to the
-CFLAGS & LDFLAGS variables Makefile of the program concerned.
-
-If using gdb & you would like accurate displays of registers &
- stack traces compile without optimisation i.e make sure
-that there is no -O2 or similar on the CFLAGS line of the Makefile &
-the emitted gcc commands, obviously this will produce worse code
-( not advisable for shipment ) but it is an aid to the debugging process.
-
-This aids debugging because the compiler will copy parameters passed in
-in registers onto the stack so backtracing & looking at passed in
-parameters will work, however some larger programs which use inline functions
-will not compile without optimisation.
-
-Debugging with optimisation has since much improved after fixing
-some bugs, please make sure you are using gdb-5.0 or later developed
-after Nov'2000.
-
-
-
-Debugging under VM
-==================
-
-Notes
------
-Addresses & values in the VM debugger are always hex never decimal
-Address ranges are of the format <HexValue1>-<HexValue2> or
-<HexValue1>.<HexValue2>
-For example, the address range 0x2000 to 0x3000 can be described as 2000-3000
-or 2000.1000
-
-The VM Debugger is case insensitive.
-
-VM's strengths are usually other debuggers weaknesses you can get at any
-resource no matter how sensitive e.g. memory management resources, change
-address translation in the PSW. For kernel hacking you will reap dividends if
-you get good at it.
-
-The VM Debugger displays operators but not operands, and also the debugger
-displays useful information on the same line as the author of the code probably
-felt that it was a good idea not to go over the 80 columns on the screen.
-This isn't as unintuitive as it may seem as the s/390 instructions are easy to
-decode mentally and you can make a good guess at a lot of them as all the
-operands are nibble (half byte aligned).
-So if you have an objdump listing by hand, it is quite easy to follow, and if
-you don't have an objdump listing keep a copy of the s/390 Reference Summary
-or alternatively the s/390 principles of operation next to you.
-e.g. even I can guess that
-0001AFF8' LR 180F CC 0
-is a ( load register ) lr r0,r15
-
-Also it is very easy to tell the length of a 390 instruction from the 2 most
-significant bits in the instruction (not that this info is really useful except
-if you are trying to make sense of a hexdump of code).
-Here is a table
-Bits Instruction Length
-------------------------------------------
-00 2 Bytes
-01 4 Bytes
-10 4 Bytes
-11 6 Bytes
-
-The debugger also displays other useful info on the same line such as the
-addresses being operated on destination addresses of branches & condition codes.
-e.g.
-00019736' AHI A7DAFF0E CC 1
-000198BA' BRC A7840004 -> 000198C2' CC 0
-000198CE' STM 900EF068 >> 0FA95E78 CC 2
-
-
-
-Useful VM debugger commands
----------------------------
-
-I suppose I'd better mention this before I start
-to list the current active traces do
-Q TR
-there can be a maximum of 255 of these per set
-( more about trace sets later ).
-To stop traces issue a
-TR END.
-To delete a particular breakpoint issue
-TR DEL <breakpoint number>
-
-The PA1 key drops to CP mode so you can issue debugger commands,
-Doing alt c (on my 3270 console at least ) clears the screen.
-hitting b <enter> comes back to the running operating system
-from cp mode ( in our case linux ).
-It is typically useful to add shortcuts to your profile.exec file
-if you have one ( this is roughly equivalent to autoexec.bat in DOS ).
-file here are a few from mine.
-/* this gives me command history on issuing f12 */
-set pf12 retrieve
-/* this continues */
-set pf8 imm b
-/* goes to trace set a */
-set pf1 imm tr goto a
-/* goes to trace set b */
-set pf2 imm tr goto b
-/* goes to trace set c */
-set pf3 imm tr goto c
-
-
-
-Instruction Tracing
--------------------
-Setting a simple breakpoint
-TR I PSWA <address>
-To debug a particular function try
-TR I R <function address range>
-TR I on its own will single step.
-TR I DATA <MNEMONIC> <OPTIONAL RANGE> will trace for particular mnemonics
-e.g.
-TR I DATA 4D R 0197BC.4000
-will trace for BAS'es ( opcode 4D ) in the range 0197BC.4000
-if you were inclined you could add traces for all branch instructions &
-suffix them with the run prefix so you would have a backtrace on screen
-when a program crashes.
-TR BR <INTO OR FROM> will trace branches into or out of an address.
-e.g.
-TR BR INTO 0 is often quite useful if a program is getting awkward & deciding
-to branch to 0 & crashing as this will stop at the address before in jumps to 0.
-TR I R <address range> RUN cmd d g
-single steps a range of addresses but stays running &
-displays the gprs on each step.
-
-
-
-Displaying & modifying Registers
---------------------------------
-D G will display all the gprs
-Adding a extra G to all the commands is necessary to access the full 64 bit
-content in VM on z/Architecture. Obviously this isn't required for access
-registers as these are still 32 bit.
-e.g. DGG instead of DG
-D X will display all the control registers
-D AR will display all the access registers
-D AR4-7 will display access registers 4 to 7
-CPU ALL D G will display the GRPS of all CPUS in the configuration
-D PSW will display the current PSW
-st PSW 2000 will put the value 2000 into the PSW &
-cause crash your machine.
-D PREFIX displays the prefix offset
-
-
-Displaying Memory
------------------
-To display memory mapped using the current PSW's mapping try
-D <range>
-To make VM display a message each time it hits a particular address and
-continue try
-D I<range> will disassemble/display a range of instructions.
-ST addr 32 bit word will store a 32 bit aligned address
-D T<range> will display the EBCDIC in an address (if you are that way inclined)
-D R<range> will display real addresses ( without DAT ) but with prefixing.
-There are other complex options to display if you need to get at say home space
-but are in primary space the easiest thing to do is to temporarily
-modify the PSW to the other addressing mode, display the stuff & then
-restore it.
-
-
-
-Hints
------
-If you want to issue a debugger command without halting your virtual machine
-with the PA1 key try prefixing the command with #CP e.g.
-#cp tr i pswa 2000
-also suffixing most debugger commands with RUN will cause them not
-to stop just display the mnemonic at the current instruction on the console.
-If you have several breakpoints you want to put into your program &
-you get fed up of cross referencing with System.map
-you can do the following trick for several symbols.
-grep do_signal System.map
-which emits the following among other things
-0001f4e0 T do_signal
-now you can do
-
-TR I PSWA 0001f4e0 cmd msg * do_signal
-This sends a message to your own console each time do_signal is entered.
-( As an aside I wrote a perl script once which automatically generated a REXX
-script with breakpoints on every kernel procedure, this isn't a good idea
-because there are thousands of these routines & VM can only set 255 breakpoints
-at a time so you nearly had to spend as long pruning the file down as you would
-entering the msgs by hand), however, the trick might be useful for a single
-object file. In the 3270 terminal emulator x3270 there is a very useful option
-in the file menu called "Save Screen In File" - this is very good for keeping a
-copy of traces.
-
-From CMS help <command name> will give you online help on a particular command.
-e.g.
-HELP DISPLAY
-
-Also CP has a file called profile.exec which automatically gets called
-on startup of CMS ( like autoexec.bat ), keeping on a DOS analogy session
-CP has a feature similar to doskey, it may be useful for you to
-use profile.exec to define some keystrokes.
-e.g.
-SET PF9 IMM B
-This does a single step in VM on pressing F8.
-SET PF10 ^
-This sets up the ^ key.
-which can be used for ^c (ctrl-c),^z (ctrl-z) which can't be typed directly
-into some 3270 consoles.
-SET PF11 ^-
-This types the starting keystrokes for a sysrq see SysRq below.
-SET PF12 RETRIEVE
-This retrieves command history on pressing F12.
-
-
-Sometimes in VM the display is set up to scroll automatically this
-can be very annoying if there are messages you wish to look at
-to stop this do
-TERM MORE 255 255
-This will nearly stop automatic screen updates, however it will
-cause a denial of service if lots of messages go to the 3270 console,
-so it would be foolish to use this as the default on a production machine.
-
-
-Tracing particular processes
-----------------------------
-The kernel's text segment is intentionally at an address in memory that it will
-very seldom collide with text segments of user programs ( thanks Martin ),
-this simplifies debugging the kernel.
-However it is quite common for user processes to have addresses which collide
-this can make debugging a particular process under VM painful under normal
-circumstances as the process may change when doing a
-TR I R <address range>.
-Thankfully after reading VM's online help I figured out how to debug
-I particular process.
-
-Your first problem is to find the STD ( segment table designation )
-of the program you wish to debug.
-There are several ways you can do this here are a few
-1) objdump --syms <program to be debugged> | grep main
-To get the address of main in the program.
-tr i pswa <address of main>
-Start the program, if VM drops to CP on what looks like the entry
-point of the main function this is most likely the process you wish to debug.
-Now do a D X13 or D XG13 on z/Architecture.
-On 31 bit the STD is bits 1-19 ( the STO segment table origin )
-& 25-31 ( the STL segment table length ) of CR13.
-now type
-TR I R STD <CR13's value> 0.7fffffff
-e.g.
-TR I R STD 8F32E1FF 0.7fffffff
-Another very useful variation is
-TR STORE INTO STD <CR13's value> <address range>
-for finding out when a particular variable changes.
-
-An alternative way of finding the STD of a currently running process
-is to do the following, ( this method is more complex but
-could be quite convenient if you aren't updating the kernel much &
-so your kernel structures will stay constant for a reasonable period of
-time ).
-
-grep task /proc/<pid>/status
-from this you should see something like
-task: 0f160000 ksp: 0f161de8 pt_regs: 0f161f68
-This now gives you a pointer to the task structure.
-Now make CC:="s390-gcc -g" kernel/sched.s
-To get the task_struct stabinfo.
-( task_struct is defined in include/linux/sched.h ).
-Now we want to look at
-task->active_mm->pgd
-on my machine the active_mm in the task structure stab is
-active_mm:(4,12),672,32
-its offset is 672/8=84=0x54
-the pgd member in the mm_struct stab is
-pgd:(4,6)=*(29,5),96,32
-so its offset is 96/8=12=0xc
-
-so we'll
-hexdump -s 0xf160054 /dev/mem | more
-i.e. task_struct+active_mm offset
-to look at the active_mm member
-f160054 0fee cc60 0019 e334 0000 0000 0000 0011
-hexdump -s 0x0feecc6c /dev/mem | more
-i.e. active_mm+pgd offset
-feecc6c 0f2c 0000 0000 0001 0000 0001 0000 0010
-we get something like
-now do
-TR I R STD <pgd|0x7f> 0.7fffffff
-i.e. the 0x7f is added because the pgd only
-gives the page table origin & we need to set the low bits
-to the maximum possible segment table length.
-TR I R STD 0f2c007f 0.7fffffff
-on z/Architecture you'll probably need to do
-TR I R STD <pgd|0x7> 0.ffffffffffffffff
-to set the TableType to 0x1 & the Table length to 3.
-
-
-
-Tracing Program Exceptions
---------------------------
-If you get a crash which says something like
-illegal operation or specification exception followed by a register dump
-You can restart linux & trace these using the tr prog <range or value> trace
-option.
-
-
-The most common ones you will normally be tracing for is
-1=operation exception
-2=privileged operation exception
-4=protection exception
-5=addressing exception
-6=specification exception
-10=segment translation exception
-11=page translation exception
-
-The full list of these is on page 22 of the current s/390 Reference Summary.
-e.g.
-tr prog 10 will trace segment translation exceptions.
-tr prog on its own will trace all program interruption codes.

-On starting VM you are initially in the INITIAL trace set.
-You can do a Q TR to verify this.
-If you have a complex tracing situation where you wish to wait for instance
-till a driver is open before you start tracing IO, but know in your
-heart that you are going to have to make several runs through the code till you
-have a clue whats going on.
-
-What you can do is
-TR I PSWA <Driver open address>
-hit b to continue till breakpoint
-reach the breakpoint
-now do your
-TR GOTO B
-TR IO 7c08-7c09 inst int run
-or whatever the IO channels you wish to trace are & hit b
-
-To got back to the initial trace set do
-TR GOTO INITIAL
-& the TR I PSWA <Driver open address> will be the only active breakpoint again.

-Tracing linux syscalls under VM
--------------------------------
-Syscalls are implemented on Linux for S390 by the Supervisor call instruction
-(SVC). There 256 possibilities of these as the instruction is made up of a 0xA
-opcode and the second byte being the syscall number. They are traced using the
-simple command:
-TR SVC <Optional value or range>
-the syscalls are defined in linux/arch/s390/include/asm/unistd.h
-e.g. to trace all file opens just do
-TR SVC 5 ( as this is the syscall number of open )
-
-
-SMP Specific commands
----------------------
-To find out how many cpus you have
-Q CPUS displays all the CPU's available to your virtual machine
-To find the cpu that the current cpu VM debugger commands are being directed at
-do Q CPU to change the current cpu VM debugger commands are being directed at do
-CPU <desired cpu no>
-
-On a SMP guest issue a command to all CPUs try prefixing the command with cpu
-all. To issue a command to a particular cpu try cpu <cpu number> e.g.
-CPU 01 TR I R 2000.3000
-If you are running on a guest with several cpus & you have a IO related problem
-& cannot follow the flow of code but you know it isn't smp related.
-from the bash prompt issue
-shutdown -h now or halt.
-do a Q CPUS to find out how many cpus you have
-detach each one of them from cp except cpu 0
-by issuing a
-DETACH CPU 01-(number of cpus in configuration)
-& boot linux again.
-TR SIGP will trace inter processor signal processor instructions.
-DEFINE CPU 01-(number in configuration)
-will get your guests cpus back.

-
-Help for displaying ascii textstrings
--------------------------------------
-On the very latest VM Nucleus'es VM can now display ascii
-( thanks Neale for the hint ) by doing
-D TX<lowaddr>.<len>
-e.g.
-D TX0.100
-
-Alternatively
-=============
-Under older VM debuggers (I love EBDIC too) you can use following little
-program which converts a command line of hex digits to ascii text. It can be
-compiled under linux and you can copy the hex digits from your x3270 terminal
-to your xterm if you are debugging from a linuxbox.
-
-This is quite useful when looking at a parameter passed in as a text string
-under VM ( unless you are good at decoding ASCII in your head ).
-
-e.g. consider tracing an open syscall
-TR SVC 5
-We have stopped at a breakpoint
-000151B0' SVC 0A05 -> 0001909A' CC 0
-
-D 20.8 to check the SVC old psw in the prefix area and see was it from userspace
-(for the layout of the prefix area consult the "Fixed Storage Locations"
-chapter of the s/390 Reference Summary if you have it available).
-V00000020 070C2000 800151B2
-The problem state bit wasn't set & it's also too early in the boot sequence
-for it to be a userspace SVC if it was we would have to temporarily switch the
-psw to user space addressing so we could get at the first parameter of the open
-in gpr2.
-Next do a
-D G2
-GPR 2 = 00014CB4
-Now display what gpr2 is pointing to
-D 00014CB4.20
-V00014CB4 2F646576 2F636F6E 736F6C65 00001BF5
-V00014CC4 FC00014C B4001001 E0001000 B8070707
-Now copy the text till the first 00 hex ( which is the end of the string
-to an xterm & do hex2ascii on it.
-hex2ascii 2F646576 2F636F6E 736F6C65 00
-outputs
-Decoded Hex:=/ d e v / c o n s o l e 0x00
-We were opening the console device,
-
-You can compile the code below yourself for practice :-),

-Stack tracing under VM
-----------------------
-A basic backtrace
------------------
-
-Here are the tricks I use 9 out of 10 times it works pretty well,
-
-When your backchain reaches a dead end
---------------------------------------
-This can happen when an exception happens in the kernel and the kernel is
-entered twice. If you reach the NULL pointer at the end of the back chain you
-should be able to sniff further back if you follow the following tricks.
-1) A kernel address should be easy to recognise since it is in
-primary space & the problem state bit isn't set & also
-The Hi bit of the address is set.
-2) Another backchain should also be easy to recognise since it is an
-address pointing to another address approximately 100 bytes or 0x70 hex
-behind the current stackpointer.
-
-
-Here is some practice.
-boot the kernel & hit PA1 at some random time
-d g to display the gprs, this should display something like
-GPR 0 = 00000001 00156018 0014359C 00000000
-GPR 4 = 00000001 001B8888 000003E0 00000000
-GPR 8 = 00100080 00100084 00000000 000FE000
-GPR 12 = 00010400 8001B2DC 8001B36A 000FFED8
-Note that GPR14 is a return address but as we are real men we are going to
-trace the stack.
-display 0x40 bytes after the stack pointer.
-
-V000FFED8 000FFF38 8001B838 80014C8E 000FFF38
-V000FFEE8 00000000 00000000 000003E0 00000000
-V000FFEF8 00100080 00100084 00000000 000FE000
-V000FFF08 00010400 8001B2DC 8001B36A 000FFED8
-
-
-Ah now look at whats in sp+56 (sp+0x38) this is 8001B36A our saved r14 if
-you look above at our stackframe & also agrees with GPR14.
-
-now backchain
-d 000FFF38.40
-we now are taking the contents of SP to get our first backchain.
-
-V000FFF38 000FFFA0 00000000 00014995 00147094
-V000FFF48 00147090 001470A0 000003E0 00000000
-V000FFF58 00100080 00100084 00000000 001BF1D0
-V000FFF68 00010400 800149BA 80014CA6 000FFF38
-
-This displays a 2nd return address of 80014CA6
-
-now do d 000FFFA0.40 for our 3rd backchain
-
-V000FFFA0 04B52002 0001107F 00000000 00000000
-V000FFFB0 00000000 00000000 FF000000 0001107F
-V000FFFC0 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
-V000FFFD0 00010400 80010802 8001085A 000FFFA0
-
-
-our 3rd return address is 8001085A
-
-as the 04B52002 looks suspiciously like rubbish it is fair to assume that the
-kernel entry routines for the sake of optimisation don't set up a backchain.
-
-now look at System.map to see if the addresses make any sense.
-
-grep -i 0001b3 System.map
-outputs among other things
-0001b304 T cpu_idle
-so 8001B36A
-is cpu_idle+0x66 ( quiet the cpu is asleep, don't wake it )
-
-
-grep -i 00014 System.map
-produces among other things
-00014a78 T start_kernel
-so 0014CA6 is start_kernel+some hex number I can't add in my head.
-
-grep -i 00108 System.map
-this produces
-00010800 T _stext
-so 8001085A is _stext+0x5a
-
-Congrats you've done your first backchain.
-

-s/390 & z/Architecture IO Overview
-==================================
-
-I am not going to give a course in 390 IO architecture as this would take me
-quite a while and I'm no expert. Instead I'll give a 390 IO architecture
-summary for Dummies. If you have the s/390 principles of operation available
-read this instead. If nothing else you may find a few useful keywords in here
-and be able to use them on a web search engine to find more useful information.
-
-Unlike other bus architectures modern 390 systems do their IO using mostly
-fibre optics and devices such as tapes and disks can be shared between several
-mainframes. Also S390 can support up to 65536 devices while a high end PC based
-system might be choking with around 64.
-
-Here is some of the common IO terminology:
-
-Subchannel:
-This is the logical number most IO commands use to talk to an IO device. There
-can be up to 0x10000 (65536) of these in a configuration, typically there are a
-few hundred. Under VM for simplicity they are allocated contiguously, however
-on the native hardware they are not. They typically stay consistent between
-boots provided no new hardware is inserted or removed.
-Under Linux for s390 we use these as IRQ's and also when issuing an IO command
-(CLEAR SUBCHANNEL, HALT SUBCHANNEL, MODIFY SUBCHANNEL, RESUME SUBCHANNEL,
-START SUBCHANNEL, STORE SUBCHANNEL and TEST SUBCHANNEL). We use this as the ID
-of the device we wish to talk to. The most important of these instructions are
-START SUBCHANNEL (to start IO), TEST SUBCHANNEL (to check whether the IO
-completed successfully) and HALT SUBCHANNEL (to kill IO). A subchannel can have
-up to 8 channel paths to a device, this offers redundancy if one is not
-available.
-
-Device Number:
-This number remains static and is closely tied to the hardware. There are 65536
-of these, made up of a CHPID (Channel Path ID, the most significant 8 bits) and
-another lsb 8 bits. These remain static even if more devices are inserted or
-removed from the hardware. There is a 1 to 1 mapping between subchannels and
-device numbers, provided devices aren't inserted or removed.
-
-Channel Control Words:
-CCWs are linked lists of instructions initially pointed to by an operation
-request block (ORB), which is initially given to Start Subchannel (SSCH)
-command along with the subchannel number for the IO subsystem to process
-while the CPU continues executing normal code.
-CCWs come in two flavours, Format 0 (24 bit for backward compatibility) and
-Format 1 (31 bit). These are typically used to issue read and write (and many
-other) instructions. They consist of a length field and an absolute address
-field.
-Each IO typically gets 1 or 2 interrupts, one for channel end (primary status)
-when the channel is idle, and the second for device end (secondary status).
-Sometimes you get both concurrently. You check how the IO went on by issuing a
-TEST SUBCHANNEL at each interrupt, from which you receive an Interruption
-response block (IRB). If you get channel and device end status in the IRB
-without channel checks etc. your IO probably went okay. If you didn't you
-probably need to examine the IRB, extended status word etc.
-If an error occurs, more sophisticated control units have a facility known as
-concurrent sense. This means that if an error occurs Extended sense information
-will be presented in the Extended status word in the IRB. If not you have to
-issue a subsequent SENSE CCW command after the test subchannel.
-
-
-TPI (Test pending interrupt) can also be used for polled IO, but in
-multitasking multiprocessor systems it isn't recommended except for
-checking special cases (i.e. non looping checks for pending IO etc.).
-
-Store Subchannel and Modify Subchannel can be used to examine and modify
-operating characteristics of a subchannel (e.g. channel paths).
-
-Other IO related Terms:
-Sysplex: S390's Clustering Technology
-QDIO: S390's new high speed IO architecture to support devices such as gigabit
-ethernet, this architecture is also designed to be forward compatible with
-upcoming 64 bit machines.
-
-
-General Concepts
-
-Input Output Processors (IOP's) are responsible for communicating between
-the mainframe CPU's & the channel & relieve the mainframe CPU's from the
-burden of communicating with IO devices directly, this allows the CPU's to
-concentrate on data processing.
-
-IOP's can use one or more links ( known as channel paths ) to talk to each
-IO device. It first checks for path availability & chooses an available one,
-then starts ( & sometimes terminates IO ).
-There are two types of channel path: ESCON & the Parallel IO interface.
-
-IO devices are attached to control units, control units provide the
-logic to interface the channel paths & channel path IO protocols to
-the IO devices, they can be integrated with the devices or housed separately
-& often talk to several similar devices ( typical examples would be raid
-controllers or a control unit which connects to 1000 3270 terminals ).

-
-The 390 IO systems come in 2 flavours the current 390 machines support both
-
-The Older 360 & 370 Interface,sometimes called the Parallel I/O interface,
-sometimes called Bus-and Tag & sometimes Original Equipment Manufacturers
-Interface (OEMI).
-
-This byte wide Parallel channel path/bus has parity & data on the "Bus" cable
-and control lines on the "Tag" cable. These can operate in byte multiplex mode
-for sharing between several slow devices or burst mode and monopolize the
-channel for the whole burst. Up to 256 devices can be addressed on one of these
-cables. These cables are about one inch in diameter. The maximum unextended
-length supported by these cables is 125 Meters but this can be extended up to
-2km with a fibre optic channel extended such as a 3044. The maximum burst speed
-supported is 4.5 megabytes per second. However, some really old processors
-support only transfer rates of 3.0, 2.0 & 1.0 MB/sec.
-One of these paths can be daisy chained to up to 8 control units.
-
-
-ESCON if fibre optic it is also called FICON
-Was introduced by IBM in 1990. Has 2 fibre optic cables and uses either leds or
-lasers for communication at a signaling rate of up to 200 megabits/sec. As
-10bits are transferred for every 8 bits info this drops to 160 megabits/sec
-and to 18.6 Megabytes/sec once control info and CRC are added. ESCON only
-operates in burst mode.
-
-ESCONs typical max cable length is 3km for the led version and 20km for the
-laser version known as XDF (extended distance facility). This can be further
-extended by using an ESCON director which triples the above mentioned ranges.
-Unlike Bus & Tag as ESCON is serial it uses a packet switching architecture,
-the standard Bus & Tag control protocol is however present within the packets.
-Up to 256 devices can be attached to each control unit that uses one of these
-interfaces.
-
-Common 390 Devices include:
-Network adapters typically OSA2,3172's,2116's & OSA-E gigabit ethernet adapters,
-Consoles 3270 & 3215 (a teletype emulated under linux for a line mode console).
-DASD's direct access storage devices ( otherwise known as hard disks ).
-Tape Drives.
-CTC ( Channel to Channel Adapters ),
-ESCON or Parallel Cables used as a very high speed serial link
-between 2 machines.
-
-
-Debugging IO on s/390 & z/Architecture under VM
-===============================================
-
-Now we are ready to go on with IO tracing commands under VM
-
-A few self explanatory queries:
-Q OSA
-Q CTC
-Q DISK ( This command is CMS specific )
-Q DASD
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Q OSA on my machine returns
-OSA 7C08 ON OSA 7C08 SUBCHANNEL = 0000
-OSA 7C09 ON OSA 7C09 SUBCHANNEL = 0001
-OSA 7C14 ON OSA 7C14 SUBCHANNEL = 0002
-OSA 7C15 ON OSA 7C15 SUBCHANNEL = 0003
-
-If you have a guest with certain privileges you may be able to see devices
-which don't belong to you. To avoid this, add the option V.
-e.g.
-Q V OSA
-
-Now using the device numbers returned by this command we will
-Trace the io starting up on the first device 7c08 & 7c09
-In our simplest case we can trace the
-start subchannels
-like TR SSCH 7C08-7C09
-or the halt subchannels
-or TR HSCH 7C08-7C09
-MSCH's ,STSCH's I think you can guess the rest
-
-A good trick is tracing all the IO's and CCWS and spooling them into the reader
-of another VM guest so he can ftp the logfile back to his own machine. I'll do
-a small bit of this and give you a look at the output.
-
-1) Spool stdout to VM reader
-SP PRT TO (another vm guest ) or * for the local vm guest
-2) Fill the reader with the trace
-TR IO 7c08-7c09 INST INT CCW PRT RUN
-3) Start up linux
-i 00c
-4) Finish the trace
-TR END
-5) close the reader
-C PRT
-6) list reader contents
-RDRLIST
-7) copy it to linux4's minidisk
-RECEIVE / LOG TXT A1 ( replace
-8)
-filel & press F11 to look at it
-You should see something like:
-
-00020942' SSCH B2334000 0048813C CC 0 SCH 0000 DEV 7C08
- CPA 000FFDF0 PARM 00E2C9C4 KEY 0 FPI C0 LPM 80
- CCW 000FFDF0 E4200100 00487FE8 0000 E4240100 ........
- IDAL 43D8AFE8
- IDAL 0FB76000
-00020B0A' I/O DEV 7C08 -> 000197BC' SCH 0000 PARM 00E2C9C4
-00021628' TSCH B2354000 >> 00488164 CC 0 SCH 0000 DEV 7C08
- CCWA 000FFDF8 DEV STS 0C SCH STS 00 CNT 00EC
- KEY 0 FPI C0 CC 0 CTLS 4007
-00022238' STSCH B2344000 >> 00488108 CC 0 SCH 0000 DEV 7C08
-
-If you don't like messing up your readed ( because you possibly booted from it )
-you can alternatively spool it to another readers guest.
-
-
-Other common VM device related commands
----------------------------------------------
-These commands are listed only because they have
-been of use to me in the past & may be of use to
-you too. For more complete info on each of the commands
-use type HELP <command> from CMS.
-detaching devices
-DET <devno range>
-ATT <devno range> <guest>
-attach a device to guest * for your own guest
-READY <devno> cause VM to issue a fake interrupt.
-
-The VARY command is normally only available to VM administrators.
-VARY ON PATH <path> TO <devno range>
-VARY OFF PATH <PATH> FROM <devno range>
-This is used to switch on or off channel paths to devices.
-
-Q CHPID <channel path ID>
-This displays state of devices using this channel path
-D SCHIB <subchannel>
-This displays the subchannel information SCHIB block for the device.
-this I believe is also only available to administrators.
-DEFINE CTC <devno>
-defines a virtual CTC channel to channel connection
-2 need to be defined on each guest for the CTC driver to use.
-COUPLE devno userid remote devno
-Joins a local virtual device to a remote virtual device
-( commonly used for the CTC driver ).
-
-Building a VM ramdisk under CMS which linux can use
-def vfb-<blocksize> <subchannel> <number blocks>
-blocksize is commonly 4096 for linux.
-Formatting it
-format <subchannel> <driver letter e.g. x> (blksize <blocksize>
-
-Sharing a disk between multiple guests
-LINK userid devno1 devno2 mode password
-
-
-
-GDB on S390
-===========
-N.B. if compiling for debugging gdb works better without optimisation
-( see Compiling programs for debugging )
-
-invocation
-----------
-gdb <victim program> <optional corefile>
-
-Online help
------------
-help: gives help on commands
-e.g.
-help
-help display
-Note gdb's online help is very good use it.
-
-
-Assembly
---------
-info registers: displays registers other than floating point.
-info all-registers: displays floating points as well.
-disassemble: disassembles
-e.g.
-disassemble without parameters will disassemble the current function
-disassemble $pc $pc+10
-
-Viewing & modifying variables
------------------------------
-print or p: displays variable or register
-e.g. p/x $sp will display the stack pointer
-
-display: prints variable or register each time program stops
-e.g.
-display/x $pc will display the program counter
-display argc
-
-undisplay : undo's display's
-
-info breakpoints: shows all current breakpoints
-
-info stack: shows stack back trace (if this doesn't work too well, I'll show
-you the stacktrace by hand below).
-
-info locals: displays local variables.
-
-info args: display current procedure arguments.

-------------
-
-break
-sets a breakpoint
-e.g.
-
-break main
-
-break *$pc
-
-break *0x400618
-
-Here's a really useful one for large programs
-rbr
-Set a breakpoint for all functions matching REGEXP
-e.g.
-rbr 390
-will set a breakpoint with all functions with 390 in their name.
-
-info breakpoints
-lists all breakpoints
-
-delete: delete breakpoint by number or delete them all
-e.g.
-delete 1 will delete the first breakpoint
-delete will delete them all
-
-watch: This will set a watchpoint ( usually hardware assisted ),
-This will watch a variable till it changes
-e.g.
-watch cnt, will watch the variable cnt till it changes.
-As an aside unfortunately gdb's, architecture independent watchpoint code
-is inconsistent & not very good, watchpoints usually work but not always.
-
-info watchpoints: Display currently active watchpoints
-
-condition: ( another useful one )
-Specify breakpoint number N to break only if COND is true.
-Usage is `condition N COND', where N is an integer and COND is an
-expression to be evaluated whenever breakpoint N is reached.
-
-
-
-User defined functions/macros
------------------------------
-define: ( Note this is very very useful,simple & powerful )
-usage define <name> <list of commands> end
-
-examples which you should consider putting into .gdbinit in your home directory
-define d
-stepi
-disassemble $pc $pc+10
-end
-
-define e
-nexti
-disassemble $pc $pc+10
-end
-
-
-Other hard to classify stuff
-----------------------------
-signal n:
-sends the victim program a signal.
-e.g. signal 3 will send a SIGQUIT.
-
-info signals:
-what gdb does when the victim receives certain signals.
-
-list:
-e.g.
-list lists current function source
-list 1,10 list first 10 lines of current file.
-list test.c:1,10
-
-
-directory:
-Adds directories to be searched for source if gdb cannot find the source.
-(note it is a bit sensitive about slashes)
-e.g. To add the root of the filesystem to the searchpath do
-directory //
-
-
-call <function>
-This calls a function in the victim program, this is pretty powerful
-e.g.
-(gdb) call printf("hello world")
-outputs:
-$1 = 11
-
-You might now be thinking that the line above didn't work, something extra had
-to be done.
-(gdb) call fflush(stdout)
-hello world$2 = 0
-As an aside the debugger also calls malloc & free under the hood
-to make space for the "hello world" string.
-
-
-
-hints
------
-1) command completion works just like bash
-( if you are a bad typist like me this really helps )
-e.g. hit br <TAB> & cursor up & down :-).
-
-2) if you have a debugging problem that takes a few steps to recreate
-put the steps into a file called .gdbinit in your current working directory
-if you have defined a few extra useful user defined commands put these in
-your home directory & they will be read each time gdb is launched.
-
-A typical .gdbinit file might be.
-break main
-run
-break runtime_exception
-cont
-
-
-stack chaining in gdb by hand
------------------------------
-This is done using a the same trick described for VM
-p/x (*($sp+56))&0x7fffffff get the first backchain.
-
-For z/Architecture
-Replace 56 with 112 & ignore the &0x7fffffff
-in the macros below & do nasty casts to longs like the following
-as gdb unfortunately deals with printed arguments as ints which
-messes up everything.
-i.e. here is a 3rd backchain dereference
-p/x *(long *)(***(long ***)$sp+112)
-
-
-this outputs
-$5 = 0x528f18
-on my machine.
-Now you can use
-info symbol (*($sp+56))&0x7fffffff
-you might see something like.
-rl_getc + 36 in section .text telling you what is located at address 0x528f18
-Now do.
-p/x (*(*$sp+56))&0x7fffffff
-This outputs
-$6 = 0x528ed0
-Now do.
-info symbol (*(*$sp+56))&0x7fffffff
-rl_read_key + 180 in section .text
-now do
-p/x (*(**$sp+56))&0x7fffffff
-& so on.
-
-Disassembling instructions without debug info
----------------------------------------------
-gdb typically complains if there is a lack of debugging
-symbols in the disassemble command with
-"No function contains specified address." To get around
-this do
-x/<number lines to disassemble>xi <address>
-e.g.
-x/20xi 0x400730
-
-
-
-Note: Remember gdb has history just like bash you don't need to retype the
-whole line just use the up & down arrows.
-
-
-
-For more info
--------------
-From your linuxbox do
-man gdb or info gdb.
-
-core dumps
-----------
-What a core dump ?,
-A core dump is a file generated by the kernel (if allowed) which contains the
-registers and all active pages of the program which has crashed.
-From this file gdb will allow you to look at the registers, stack trace and
-memory of the program as if it just crashed on your system. It is usually
-called core and created in the current working directory.
-This is very useful in that a customer can mail a core dump to a technical
-support department and the technical support department can reconstruct what
-happened. Provided they have an identical copy of this program with debugging
-symbols compiled in and the source base of this build is available.
-In short it is far more useful than something like a crash log could ever hope
-to be.
-
-Why have I never seen one ?.
-Probably because you haven't used the command
-ulimit -c unlimited in bash
-to allow core dumps, now do
-ulimit -a
-to verify that the limit was accepted.
-
-A sample core dump
-To create this I'm going to do
-ulimit -c unlimited
-gdb
-to launch gdb (my victim app. ) now be bad & do the following from another
-telnet/xterm session to the same machine
-ps -aux | grep gdb
-kill -SIGSEGV <gdb's pid>
-or alternatively use killall -SIGSEGV gdb if you have the killall command.
-Now look at the core dump.

-LDD
-===
-This is a program which lists the shared libraries which a library needs,
-Note you also get the relocations of the shared library text segments which
-help when using objdump --source.
-e.g.
- ldd ./gdb
-outputs
-libncurses.so.4 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.4 (0x40018000)
-libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4005e000)
-libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40084000)
-/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
-
-
-Debugging shared libraries
-==========================
-Most programs use shared libraries, however it can be very painful
-when you single step instruction into a function like printf for the
-first time & you end up in functions like _dl_runtime_resolve this is
-the ld.so doing lazy binding, lazy binding is a concept in ELF where
-shared library functions are not loaded into memory unless they are
-actually used, great for saving memory but a pain to debug.
-To get around this either relink the program -static or exit gdb type
-export LD_BIND_NOW=true this will stop lazy binding & restart the gdb'ing
-the program in question.
-
-
-
-Debugging modules
-=================
-As modules are dynamically loaded into the kernel their address can be
-anywhere to get around this use the -m option with insmod to emit a load
-map which can be piped into a file if required.
-
-The proc file system
-====================
-What is it ?.
-It is a filesystem created by the kernel with files which are created on demand
-by the kernel if read, or can be used to modify kernel parameters,
-it is a powerful concept.
-
-e.g.
-
-cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
-On my machine outputs
-0
-telling me ip_forwarding is not on to switch it on I can do
-echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
-cat it again
-cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
-On my machine now outputs
-1
-IP forwarding is on.
-There is a lot of useful info in here best found by going in and having a look
-around, so I'll take you through some entries I consider important.
-
-All the processes running on the machine have their own entry defined by
-/proc/<pid>
-So lets have a look at the init process
-cd /proc/1
-
-cat cmdline
-emits
-init [2]
-
-cd /proc/1/fd
-This contains numerical entries of all the open files,
-some of these you can cat e.g. stdout (2)
-
-cat /proc/29/maps
-on my machine emits

-Some driver debugging techniques
-================================
-debug feature
--------------
-Some of our drivers now support a "debug feature" in
-/proc/s390dbf see s390dbf.txt in the linux/Documentation directory
-for more info.
-e.g.
-to switch on the lcs "debug feature"
-echo 5 > /proc/s390dbf/lcs/level
-& then after the error occurred.
-cat /proc/s390dbf/lcs/sprintf >/logfile
-the logfile now contains some information which may help
-tech support resolve a problem in the field.
-
-
-
-high level debugging network drivers
-------------------------------------
-ifconfig is a quite useful command
-it gives the current state of network drivers.
-
-If you suspect your network device driver is dead
-one way to check is type
-ifconfig <network device>
-e.g. tr0
-You should see something like
-tr0 Link encap:16/4 Mbps Token Ring (New) HWaddr 00:04:AC:20:8E:48
- inet addr:9.164.185.132 Bcast:9.164.191.255 Mask:255.255.224.0
- UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:2000 Metric:1
- RX packets:246134 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
- TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
- collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
-
-if the device doesn't say up
-try
-/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
-( this starts the network stack & hopefully calls ifconfig tr0 up ).
-ifconfig looks at the output of /proc/net/dev and presents it in a more
-presentable form.
-Now ping the device from a machine in the same subnet.
-if the RX packets count & TX packets counts don't increment you probably
-have problems.
-next
-cat /proc/net/arp
-Do you see any hardware addresses in the cache if not you may have problems.
-Next try
-ping -c 5 <broadcast_addr> i.e. the Bcast field above in the output of
-ifconfig. Do you see any replies from machines other than the local machine
-if not you may have problems. also if the TX packets count in ifconfig
-hasn't incremented either you have serious problems in your driver
-(e.g. the txbusy field of the network device being stuck on )
-or you may have multiple network devices connected.
-
-
-chandev
--------
-There is a new device layer for channel devices, some
-drivers e.g. lcs are registered with this layer.
-If the device uses the channel device layer you'll be
-able to find what interrupts it uses & the current state
-of the device.
-See the manpage chandev.8 &type cat /proc/chandev for more info.
-
-
-SysRq
-=====
-This is now supported by linux for s/390 & z/Architecture.
-To enable it do compile the kernel with
-Kernel Hacking -> Magic SysRq Key Enabled
-echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
-also type
-echo "8" >/proc/sys/kernel/printk
-To make printk output go to console.
-On 390 all commands are prefixed with
-^-
-e.g.
-^-t will show tasks.
-^-? or some unknown command will display help.
-The sysrq key reading is very picky ( I have to type the keys in an
- xterm session & paste them into the x3270 console )
-& it may be wise to predefine the keys as described in the VM hints above
-
-This is particularly useful for syncing disks unmounting & rebooting
-if the machine gets partially hung.
-

+Register Set
+============
+The current architectures have the following registers.
+
+16 General propose registers, 32 bit on s/390 and 64 bit on z/Architecture,
+r0-r15 (or gpr0-gpr15), used for arithmetic and addressing.
+
+16 Control registers, 32 bit on s/390 and 64 bit on z/Architecture, cr0-cr15,
+kernel usage only, used for memory management, interrupt control, debugging
+control etc.
+
+16 Access registers (ar0-ar15), 32 bit on both s/390 and z/Architecture,
+normally not used by normal programs but potentially could be used as
+temporary storage. These registers have a 1:1 association with general
+purpose registers and are designed to be used in the so-called access
+register mode to select different address spaces.
+Access register 0 (and access register 1 on z/Architecture, which needs a
+64 bit pointer) is currently used by the pthread library as a pointer to
+the current running threads private area.
+
+16 64-bit floating point registers (fp0-fp15 ) IEEE & HFP floating
+point format compliant on G5 upwards & a Floating point control reg (FPC)
+
+4 64-bit registers (fp0,fp2,fp4 & fp6) HFP only on older machines.
+
+Note:
+ Linux (currently) always uses IEEE & emulates G5 IEEE format on older
+ machines, ( provided the kernel is configured for this ).
+
+
+The PSW is the most important register on the machine it
+is 64 bit on s/390 & 128 bit on z/Architecture & serves the roles of
+a program counter (pc), condition code register,memory space designator.
+In IBM standard notation I am counting bit 0 as the MSB.
+It has several advantages over a normal program counter
+in that you can change address translation & program counter
+in a single instruction. To change address translation,
+e.g. switching address translation off requires that you
+have a logical=physical mapping for the address you are
+currently running at.

+
+Prefix Page(s)
+--------------
+This per cpu memory area is too intimately tied to the processor not to mention.
+It exists between the real addresses 0-4096 on s/390 and between 0-8192 on
+z/Architecture and is exchanged with one page on s/390 or two pages on
+z/Architecture in absolute storage by the set prefix instruction during Linux
+startup.
+
+This page is mapped to a different prefix for each processor in an SMP
+configuration (assuming the OS designer is sane of course).
+
+Bytes 0-512 (200 hex) on s/390 and 0-512, 4096-4544, 4604-5119 currently on
+z/Architecture are used by the processor itself for holding such information
+as exception indications and entry points for exceptions.
+
+Bytes after 0xc00 hex are used by linux for per processor globals on s/390 and
+z/Architecture (there is a gap on z/Architecture currently between 0xc00 and
+0x1000, too, which is used by Linux).
+
+The closest thing to this on traditional architectures is the interrupt
+vector table. This is a good thing & does simplify some of the kernel coding
+however it means that we now cannot catch stray NULL pointers in the
+kernel without hard coded checks.
+
+
+
+Address Spaces on Intel Linux
+=============================
+
+The traditional Intel Linux is approximately mapped as follows forgive
+the ascii art::
+
+ 0xFFFFFFFF 4GB Himem *****************
+ * *
+ * Kernel Space *
+ * *
+ ***************** ****************
+ User Space Himem * User Stack * * *
+ (typically 0xC0000000 3GB ) ***************** * *
+ * Shared Libs * * Next Process *
+ ***************** * to *
+ * * <== * Run * <==
+ * User Program * * *
+ * Data BSS * * *
+ * Text * * *
+ * Sections * * *
+ 0x00000000 ***************** ****************
+
+Now it is easy to see that on Intel it is quite easy to recognise a kernel
+address as being one greater than user space himem (in this case 0xC0000000),
+and addresses of less than this are the ones in the current running program on
+this processor (if an smp box).
+
+If using the virtual machine ( VM ) as a debugger it is quite difficult to
+know which user process is running as the address space you are looking at
+could be from any process in the run queue.
+
+The limitation of Intels addressing technique is that the linux
+kernel uses a very simple real address to virtual addressing technique
+of Real Address=Virtual Address-User Space Himem.
+This means that on Intel the kernel linux can typically only address
+Himem=0xFFFFFFFF-0xC0000000=1GB & this is all the RAM these machines
+can typically use.
+
+They can lower User Himem to 2GB or lower & thus be
+able to use 2GB of RAM however this shrinks the maximum size
+of User Space from 3GB to 2GB they have a no win limit of 4GB unless
+they go to 64 Bit.
+
+
+On 390 our limitations & strengths make us slightly different.
+For backward compatibility we are only allowed use 31 bits (2GB)
+of our 32 bit addresses, however, we use entirely separate address
+spaces for the user & kernel.
+
+This means we can support 2GB of non Extended RAM on s/390, & more
+with the Extended memory management swap device &
+currently 4TB of physical memory currently on z/Architecture.
+
+
+Address Spaces on Linux for s/390 & z/Architecture
+==================================================
+
+Our addressing scheme is basically as follows::
+
+ Primary Space Home Space
+ Himem 0x7fffffff 2GB on s/390 ***************** ****************
+ currently 0x3ffffffffff (2^42)-1 * User Stack * * *
+ on z/Architecture. ***************** * *
+ * Shared Libs * * *
+ ***************** * *
+ * * * Kernel *
+ * User Program * * *
+ * Data BSS * * *
+ * Text * * *
+ * Sections * * *
+ 0x00000000 ***************** ****************
+
+This also means that we need to look at the PSW problem state bit and the
+addressing mode to decide whether we are looking at user or kernel space.
+
+User space runs in primary address mode (or access register mode within
+the vdso code).
+
+The kernel usually also runs in home space mode, however when accessing
+user space the kernel switches to primary or secondary address mode if
+the mvcos instruction is not available or if a compare-and-swap (futex)
+instruction on a user space address is performed.
+
+When also looking at the ASCE control registers, this means:
+
+User space:
+
+- runs in primary or access register mode
+- cr1 contains the user asce
+- cr7 contains the user asce
+- cr13 contains the kernel asce
+
+Kernel space:
+
+- runs in home space mode
+- cr1 contains the user or kernel asce
+
+ - the kernel asce is loaded when a uaccess requires primary or
+ secondary address mode
+
+- cr7 contains the user or kernel asce, (changed with set_fs())
+- cr13 contains the kernel asce
+
+In case of uaccess the kernel changes to:
+
+- primary space mode in case of a uaccess (copy_to_user) and uses
+ e.g. the mvcp instruction to access user space. However the kernel
+ will stay in home space mode if the mvcos instruction is available
+- secondary space mode in case of futex atomic operations, so that the
+ instructions come from primary address space and data from secondary
+ space
+
+In case of KVM, the kernel runs in home space mode, but cr1 gets switched
+to contain the gmap asce before the SIE instruction gets executed. When
+the SIE instruction is finished, cr1 will be switched back to contain the
+user asce.
+
+
+Virtual Addresses on s/390 & z/Architecture
+===========================================
+
+A virtual address on s/390 is made up of 3 parts
+The SX (segment index, roughly corresponding to the PGD & PMD in Linux
+terminology) being bits 1-11.
+
+The PX (page index, corresponding to the page table entry (pte) in Linux
+terminology) being bits 12-19.
+
+The remaining bits BX (the byte index are the offset in the page )
+i.e. bits 20 to 31.
+
+On z/Architecture in linux we currently make up an address from 4 parts.
+
+- The region index bits (RX) 0-32 we currently use bits 22-32
+- The segment index (SX) being bits 33-43
+- The page index (PX) being bits 44-51
+- The byte index (BX) being bits 52-63
+
+Notes:
+ 1) s/390 has no PMD so the PMD is really the PGD also.
+ A lot of this stuff is defined in pgtable.h.
+
+ 2) Also seeing as s/390's page indexes are only 1k in size
+ (bits 12-19 x 4 bytes per pte ) we use 1 ( page 4k )
+ to make the best use of memory by updating 4 segment indices
+ entries each time we mess with a PMD & use offsets
+ 0,1024,2048 & 3072 in this page as for our segment indexes.
+ On z/Architecture our page indexes are now 2k in size
+ ( bits 12-19 x 8 bytes per pte ) we do a similar trick
+ but only mess with 2 segment indices each time we mess with
+ a PMD.
+
+ 3) As z/Architecture supports up to a massive 5-level page table lookup we
+ can only use 3 currently on Linux ( as this is all the generic kernel
+ currently supports ) however this may change in future
+ this allows us to access ( according to my sums )
+ 4TB of virtual storage per process i.e.
+ 4096*512(PTES)*1024(PMDS)*2048(PGD) = 4398046511104 bytes,
+ enough for another 2 or 3 of years I think :-).
+ to do this we use a region-third-table designation type in
+ our address space control registers.
+
+
+The Linux for s/390 & z/Architecture Kernel Task Structure
+==========================================================
+Each process/thread under Linux for S390 has its own kernel task_struct
+defined in linux/include/linux/sched.h
+The S390 on initialisation & resuming of a process on a cpu sets
+the __LC_KERNEL_STACK variable in the spare prefix area for this cpu
+(which we use for per-processor globals).
+
+The kernel stack pointer is intimately tied with the task structure for
+each processor as follows::
+
+ s/390
+ ************************
+ * 1 page kernel stack *
+ * ( 4K ) *
+ ************************
+ * 1 page task_struct *
+ * ( 4K ) *
+ 8K aligned ************************
+
+ z/Architecture
+ ************************
+ * 2 page kernel stack *
+ * ( 8K ) *
+ ************************
+ * 2 page task_struct *
+ * ( 8K ) *
+ 16K aligned ************************
+
+What this means is that we don't need to dedicate any register or global
+variable to point to the current running process & can retrieve it with the
+following very simple construct for s/390 & one very similar for
+z/Architecture::
+
+ static inline struct task_struct * get_current(void)
+ {
+ struct task_struct *current;
+ __asm__("lhi %0,-8192\n\t"
+ "nr %0,15"
+ : "=r" (current) );
+ return current;
+ }
+
+i.e. just anding the current kernel stack pointer with the mask -8192.
+Thankfully because Linux doesn't have support for nested IO interrupts
+& our devices have large buffers can survive interrupts being shut for
+short amounts of time we don't need a separate stack for interrupts.
+
+
+
+
+Register Usage & Stackframes on Linux for s/390 & z/Architecture
+=================================================================
+Overview:
+---------
+This is the code that gcc produces at the top & the bottom of
+each function. It usually is fairly consistent & similar from
+function to function & if you know its layout you can probably
+make some headway in finding the ultimate cause of a problem
+after a crash without a source level debugger.
+
+Note: To follow stackframes requires a knowledge of C or Pascal &
+limited knowledge of one assembly language.
+
+It should be noted that there are some differences between the
+s/390 and z/Architecture stack layouts as the z/Architecture stack layout
+didn't have to maintain compatibility with older linkage formats.
+
+Glossary:
+---------
+alloca:
+ This is a built in compiler function for runtime allocation
+ of extra space on the callers stack which is obviously freed
+ up on function exit ( e.g. the caller may choose to allocate nothing
+ of a buffer of 4k if required for temporary purposes ), it generates
+ very efficient code ( a few cycles ) when compared to alternatives
+ like malloc.
+
+automatics:
+ These are local variables on the stack, i.e they aren't in registers &
+ they aren't static.
+
+back-chain:
+ This is a pointer to the stack pointer before entering a
+ framed functions ( see frameless function ) prologue got by
+ dereferencing the address of the current stack pointer,
+ i.e. got by accessing the 32 bit value at the stack pointers
+ current location.
+
+base-pointer:
+ This is a pointer to the back of the literal pool which
+ is an area just behind each procedure used to store constants
+ in each function.
+
+call-clobbered:
+ The caller probably needs to save these registers if there
+ is something of value in them, on the stack or elsewhere before making a
+ call to another procedure so that it can restore it later.
+
+epilogue:
+ The code generated by the compiler to return to the caller.
+
+frameless-function:
+ A frameless function in Linux for s390 & z/Architecture is one which doesn't
+ need more than the register save area (96 bytes on s/390, 160 on z/Architecture)
+ given to it by the caller.
+
+ A frameless function never:
+
+ 1) Sets up a back chain.
+ 2) Calls alloca.
+ 3) Calls other normal functions
+ 4) Has automatics.
+
+GOT-pointer:
+ This is a pointer to the global-offset-table in ELF
+ ( Executable Linkable Format, Linux'es most common executable format ),
+ all globals & shared library objects are found using this pointer.
+
+lazy-binding
+ ELF shared libraries are typically only loaded when routines in the shared
+ library are actually first called at runtime. This is lazy binding.
+
+procedure-linkage-table
+ This is a table found from the GOT which contains pointers to routines
+ in other shared libraries which can't be called to by easier means.
+
+prologue:
+ The code generated by the compiler to set up the stack frame.
+
+outgoing-args:
+ This is extra area allocated on the stack of the calling function if the
+ parameters for the callee's cannot all be put in registers, the same
+ area can be reused by each function the caller calls.
+
+routine-descriptor:
+ A COFF executable format based concept of a procedure reference
+ actually being 8 bytes or more as opposed to a simple pointer to the routine.
+ This is typically defined as follows:
+
+ - Routine Descriptor offset 0=Pointer to Function
+ - Routine Descriptor offset 4=Pointer to Table of Contents
+
+ The table of contents/TOC is roughly equivalent to a GOT pointer.
+ & it means that shared libraries etc. can be shared between several
+ environments each with their own TOC.
+
+static-chain:
+ This is used in nested functions a concept adopted from pascal
+ by gcc not used in ansi C or C++ ( although quite useful ), basically it
+ is a pointer used to reference local variables of enclosing functions.
+ You might come across this stuff once or twice in your lifetime.
+
+ e.g.
+
+ The function below should return 11 though gcc may get upset & toss warnings
+ about unused variables::
+
+ int FunctionA(int a)
+ {
+ int b;
+ FunctionC(int c)
+ {
+ b=c+1;
+ }
+ FunctionC(10);
+ return(b);
+ }

+f6 z/Architecture argument 3 saved
+======== ========================================== ===============
+
+The remaining floating points
+f1,f3,f5 f7-f15 are call-clobbered.
+
+Notes:
+------
+1) The only requirement is that registers which are used
+ by the callee are saved, e.g. the compiler is perfectly
+ capable of using r11 for purposes other than a frame a
+ frame pointer if a frame pointer is not needed.
+2) In functions with variable arguments e.g. printf the calling procedure
+ is identical to one without variable arguments & the same number of
+ parameters. However, the prologue of this function is somewhat more
+ hairy owing to it having to move these parameters to the stack to
+ get va_start, va_arg & va_end to work.
+3) Access registers are currently unused by gcc but are used in
+ the kernel. Possibilities exist to use them at the moment for
+ temporary storage but it isn't recommended.
+4) Only 4 of the floating point registers are used for
+ parameter passing as older machines such as G3 only have only 4
+ & it keeps the stack frame compatible with other compilers.
+ However with IEEE floating point emulation under linux on the
+ older machines you are free to use the other 12.
+5) A long long or double parameter cannot be have the
+ first 4 bytes in a register & the second four bytes in the
+ outgoing args area. It must be purely in the outgoing args
+ area if crossing this boundary.
+6) Floating point parameters are mixed with outgoing args
+ on the outgoing args area in the order the are passed in as parameters.
+7) Floating point arguments 2 & 3 are saved in the outgoing args area for
+ z/Architecture

+
+Comments on the function test
+-----------------------------
+1) It didn't need to set up a pointer to the constant pool gpr13 as it is not
+ used ( :-( ).
+2) This is a frameless function & no stack is bought.
+3) The compiler was clever enough to recognise that it could return the
+ value in r2 as well as use it for the passed in parameter ( :-) ).
+4) The basr ( branch relative & save ) trick works as follows the instruction
+ has a special case with r0,r0 with some instruction operands is understood as
+ the literal value 0, some risc architectures also do this ). So now
+ we are branching to the next address & the address new program counter is
+ in r13,so now we subtract the size of the function prologue we have executed
+ the size of the literal pool to get to the top of the literal pool::
+

+Compiling programs for debugging on Linux for s/390 & z/Architecture
+====================================================================
+-gdwarf-2 now works it should be considered the default debugging
+format for s/390 & z/Architecture as it is more reliable for debugging
+shared libraries, normal -g debugging works much better now
+Thanks to the IBM java compiler developers bug reports.
+
+This is typically done adding/appending the flags -g or -gdwarf-2 to the
+CFLAGS & LDFLAGS variables Makefile of the program concerned.
+
+If using gdb & you would like accurate displays of registers &
+stack traces compile without optimisation i.e make sure
+that there is no -O2 or similar on the CFLAGS line of the Makefile &
+the emitted gcc commands, obviously this will produce worse code
+( not advisable for shipment ) but it is an aid to the debugging process.
+
+This aids debugging because the compiler will copy parameters passed in
+in registers onto the stack so backtracing & looking at passed in
+parameters will work, however some larger programs which use inline functions
+will not compile without optimisation.
+
+Debugging with optimisation has since much improved after fixing
+some bugs, please make sure you are using gdb-5.0 or later developed
+after Nov'2000.
+
+
+
+Debugging under VM
+==================
+
+Notes
+-----
+Addresses & values in the VM debugger are always hex never decimal
+Address ranges are of the format <HexValue1>-<HexValue2> or
+<HexValue1>.<HexValue2>
+For example, the address range 0x2000 to 0x3000 can be described as 2000-3000
+or 2000.1000
+
+The VM Debugger is case insensitive.
+
+VM's strengths are usually other debuggers weaknesses you can get at any
+resource no matter how sensitive e.g. memory management resources, change
+address translation in the PSW. For kernel hacking you will reap dividends if
+you get good at it.
+
+The VM Debugger displays operators but not operands, and also the debugger
+displays useful information on the same line as the author of the code probably
+felt that it was a good idea not to go over the 80 columns on the screen.
+This isn't as unintuitive as it may seem as the s/390 instructions are easy to
+decode mentally and you can make a good guess at a lot of them as all the
+operands are nibble (half byte aligned).
+So if you have an objdump listing by hand, it is quite easy to follow, and if
+you don't have an objdump listing keep a copy of the s/390 Reference Summary
+or alternatively the s/390 principles of operation next to you.
+e.g. even I can guess that
+0001AFF8' LR 180F CC 0
+is a ( load register ) lr r0,r15
+
+Also it is very easy to tell the length of a 390 instruction from the 2 most
+significant bits in the instruction (not that this info is really useful except
+if you are trying to make sense of a hexdump of code).
+Here is a table
+
+======================= ==================
+Bits Instruction Length
+======================= ==================
+00 2 Bytes
+01 4 Bytes
+10 4 Bytes
+11 6 Bytes
+======================= ==================
+
+The debugger also displays other useful info on the same line such as the
+addresses being operated on destination addresses of branches & condition codes.
+e.g.::
+
+ 00019736' AHI A7DAFF0E CC 1
+ 000198BA' BRC A7840004 -> 000198C2' CC 0
+ 000198CE' STM 900EF068 >> 0FA95E78 CC 2
+
+
+
+Useful VM debugger commands
+---------------------------
+
+I suppose I'd better mention this before I start
+to list the current active traces do::
+
+ Q TR
+
+there can be a maximum of 255 of these per set
+( more about trace sets later ).
+
+To stop traces issue a::
+
+ TR END.
+
+To delete a particular breakpoint issue::
+
+ TR DEL <breakpoint number>
+
+The PA1 key drops to CP mode so you can issue debugger commands,
+Doing alt c (on my 3270 console at least ) clears the screen.
+
+hitting b <enter> comes back to the running operating system
+from cp mode ( in our case linux ).
+
+It is typically useful to add shortcuts to your profile.exec file
+if you have one ( this is roughly equivalent to autoexec.bat in DOS ).
+file here are a few from mine::
+
+ /* this gives me command history on issuing f12 */
+ set pf12 retrieve
+ /* this continues */
+ set pf8 imm b
+ /* goes to trace set a */
+ set pf1 imm tr goto a
+ /* goes to trace set b */
+ set pf2 imm tr goto b
+ /* goes to trace set c */
+ set pf3 imm tr goto c
+
+
+
+Instruction Tracing
+-------------------
+Setting a simple breakpoint::
+
+ TR I PSWA <address>
+
+To debug a particular function try::
+
+ TR I R <function address range>
+ TR I on its own will single step.
+ TR I DATA <MNEMONIC> <OPTIONAL RANGE> will trace for particular mnemonics
+
+e.g.::
+
+ TR I DATA 4D R 0197BC.4000
+
+will trace for BAS'es ( opcode 4D ) in the range 0197BC.4000
+
+if you were inclined you could add traces for all branch instructions &
+suffix them with the run prefix so you would have a backtrace on screen
+when a program crashes::
+
+ TR BR <INTO OR FROM> will trace branches into or out of an address.
+
+e.g.::
+
+ TR BR INTO 0
+
+is often quite useful if a program is getting awkward & deciding
+to branch to 0 & crashing as this will stop at the address before in jumps to 0.
+
+::
+
+ TR I R <address range> RUN cmd d g
+
+single steps a range of addresses but stays running &
+displays the gprs on each step.
+
+
+
+Displaying & modifying Registers
+--------------------------------
+D G
+ will display all the gprs
+
+Adding a extra G to all the commands is necessary to access the full 64 bit
+content in VM on z/Architecture. Obviously this isn't required for access
+registers as these are still 32 bit.
+
+e.g.
+
+DGG
+ instead of DG
+
+D X
+ will display all the control registers
+D AR
+ will display all the access registers
+D AR4-7
+ will display access registers 4 to 7
+CPU ALL D G
+ will display the GRPS of all CPUS in the configuration
+D PSW
+ will display the current PSW
+st PSW 2000
+ will put the value 2000 into the PSW & cause crash your machine.
+D PREFIX
+ displays the prefix offset
+
+
+Displaying Memory
+-----------------
+To display memory mapped using the current PSW's mapping try::
+
+ D <range>
+
+To make VM display a message each time it hits a particular address and
+continue try:
+
+D I<range>
+ will disassemble/display a range of instructions.
+
+ST addr 32 bit word
+ will store a 32 bit aligned address
+D T<range>
+ will display the EBCDIC in an address (if you are that way inclined)
+D R<range>
+ will display real addresses ( without DAT ) but with prefixing.
+
+There are other complex options to display if you need to get at say home space
+but are in primary space the easiest thing to do is to temporarily
+modify the PSW to the other addressing mode, display the stuff & then
+restore it.
+
+
+
+Hints
+-----
+If you want to issue a debugger command without halting your virtual machine
+with the PA1 key try prefixing the command with #CP e.g.::
+
+ #cp tr i pswa 2000
+
+also suffixing most debugger commands with RUN will cause them not
+to stop just display the mnemonic at the current instruction on the console.
+
+If you have several breakpoints you want to put into your program &
+you get fed up of cross referencing with System.map
+you can do the following trick for several symbols.
+
+::
+
+ grep do_signal System.map
+
+which emits the following among other things::
+
+ 0001f4e0 T do_signal
+
+now you can do::
+
+ TR I PSWA 0001f4e0 cmd msg * do_signal
+
+This sends a message to your own console each time do_signal is entered.
+( As an aside I wrote a perl script once which automatically generated a REXX
+script with breakpoints on every kernel procedure, this isn't a good idea
+because there are thousands of these routines & VM can only set 255 breakpoints
+at a time so you nearly had to spend as long pruning the file down as you would
+entering the msgs by hand), however, the trick might be useful for a single
+object file. In the 3270 terminal emulator x3270 there is a very useful option
+in the file menu called "Save Screen In File" - this is very good for keeping a
+copy of traces.
+
+From CMS help <command name> will give you online help on a particular command.
+e.g.::
+
+ HELP DISPLAY
+
+Also CP has a file called profile.exec which automatically gets called
+on startup of CMS ( like autoexec.bat ), keeping on a DOS analogy session
+CP has a feature similar to doskey, it may be useful for you to
+use profile.exec to define some keystrokes.
+
+SET PF9 IMM B
+ This does a single step in VM on pressing F8.
+
+SET PF10 ^
+ This sets up the ^ key.
+ which can be used for ^c (ctrl-c),^z (ctrl-z) which can't be typed
+ directly into some 3270 consoles.
+
+SET PF11 ^-
+ This types the starting keystrokes for a sysrq see SysRq below.
+SET PF12 RETRIEVE
+ This retrieves command history on pressing F12.
+
+
+Sometimes in VM the display is set up to scroll automatically this
+can be very annoying if there are messages you wish to look at
+to stop this do
+
+TERM MORE 255 255
+ This will nearly stop automatic screen updates, however it will
+ cause a denial of service if lots of messages go to the 3270 console,
+ so it would be foolish to use this as the default on a production machine.
+
+
+Tracing particular processes
+----------------------------
+The kernel's text segment is intentionally at an address in memory that it will
+very seldom collide with text segments of user programs ( thanks Martin ),
+this simplifies debugging the kernel.
+However it is quite common for user processes to have addresses which collide
+this can make debugging a particular process under VM painful under normal
+circumstances as the process may change when doing a::
+
+ TR I R <address range>.
+
+Thankfully after reading VM's online help I figured out how to debug
+I particular process.
+
+Your first problem is to find the STD ( segment table designation )
+of the program you wish to debug.
+There are several ways you can do this here are a few
+
+Run::
+
+ objdump --syms <program to be debugged> | grep main
+
+To get the address of main in the program. Then::
+
+ tr i pswa <address of main>
+
+Start the program, if VM drops to CP on what looks like the entry
+point of the main function this is most likely the process you wish to debug.
+Now do a D X13 or D XG13 on z/Architecture.
+
+On 31 bit the STD is bits 1-19 ( the STO segment table origin )
+& 25-31 ( the STL segment table length ) of CR13.
+
+now type::
+
+ TR I R STD <CR13's value> 0.7fffffff
+
+e.g.::
+
+ TR I R STD 8F32E1FF 0.7fffffff
+
+Another very useful variation is::
+
+ TR STORE INTO STD <CR13's value> <address range>
+
+for finding out when a particular variable changes.
+
+An alternative way of finding the STD of a currently running process
+is to do the following, ( this method is more complex but
+could be quite convenient if you aren't updating the kernel much &
+so your kernel structures will stay constant for a reasonable period of
+time ).
+
+::
+
+ grep task /proc/<pid>/status
+
+from this you should see something like::
+
+ task: 0f160000 ksp: 0f161de8 pt_regs: 0f161f68
+
+This now gives you a pointer to the task structure.
+
+Now make::
+
+ CC:="s390-gcc -g" kernel/sched.s
+
+To get the task_struct stabinfo.
+
+( task_struct is defined in include/linux/sched.h ).
+
+Now we want to look at
+task->active_mm->pgd
+
+on my machine the active_mm in the task structure stab is
+active_mm:(4,12),672,32
+
+its offset is 672/8=84=0x54
+
+the pgd member in the mm_struct stab is
+pgd:(4,6)=*(29,5),96,32
+so its offset is 96/8=12=0xc
+
+so we'll::
+
+ hexdump -s 0xf160054 /dev/mem | more
+
+i.e. task_struct+active_mm offset
+to look at the active_mm member::
+
+ f160054 0fee cc60 0019 e334 0000 0000 0000 0011
+
+::
+
+ hexdump -s 0x0feecc6c /dev/mem | more
+
+i.e. active_mm+pgd offset::
+
+ feecc6c 0f2c 0000 0000 0001 0000 0001 0000 0010
+
+we get something like
+now do::
+
+ TR I R STD <pgd|0x7f> 0.7fffffff
+
+i.e. the 0x7f is added because the pgd only
+gives the page table origin & we need to set the low bits
+to the maximum possible segment table length.
+
+::
+
+ TR I R STD 0f2c007f 0.7fffffff
+
+on z/Architecture you'll probably need to do::
+
+ TR I R STD <pgd|0x7> 0.ffffffffffffffff
+
+to set the TableType to 0x1 & the Table length to 3.
+
+
+
+Tracing Program Exceptions
+--------------------------
+If you get a crash which says something like
+illegal operation or specification exception followed by a register dump
+You can restart linux & trace these using the tr prog <range or value> trace
+option.
+
+
+The most common ones you will normally be tracing for is:
+
+- 1=operation exception
+- 2=privileged operation exception
+- 4=protection exception
+- 5=addressing exception
+- 6=specification exception
+- 10=segment translation exception
+- 11=page translation exception
+
+The full list of these is on page 22 of the current s/390 Reference Summary.
+e.g.
+
+tr prog 10 will trace segment translation exceptions.
+
+tr prog on its own will trace all program interruption codes.
+
+Trace Sets
+----------
+On starting VM you are initially in the INITIAL trace set.
+You can do a Q TR to verify this.
+If you have a complex tracing situation where you wish to wait for instance
+till a driver is open before you start tracing IO, but know in your
+heart that you are going to have to make several runs through the code till you
+have a clue whats going on.
+
+What you can do is::
+
+ TR I PSWA <Driver open address>
+
+hit b to continue till breakpoint
+
+reach the breakpoint
+
+now do your::
+
+ TR GOTO B
+ TR IO 7c08-7c09 inst int run
+
+or whatever the IO channels you wish to trace are & hit b
+
+To got back to the initial trace set do::
+
+ TR GOTO INITIAL
+
+& the TR I PSWA <Driver open address> will be the only active breakpoint again.
+
+
+Tracing linux syscalls under VM
+-------------------------------
+Syscalls are implemented on Linux for S390 by the Supervisor call instruction
+(SVC). There 256 possibilities of these as the instruction is made up of a 0xA
+opcode and the second byte being the syscall number. They are traced using the
+simple command::
+
+ TR SVC <Optional value or range>
+
+the syscalls are defined in linux/arch/s390/include/asm/unistd.h
+e.g. to trace all file opens just do::
+
+ TR SVC 5 ( as this is the syscall number of open )
+
+
+SMP Specific commands
+---------------------
+To find out how many cpus you have
+Q CPUS displays all the CPU's available to your virtual machine
+To find the cpu that the current cpu VM debugger commands are being directed at
+do Q CPU to change the current cpu VM debugger commands are being directed at
+do::
+
+ CPU <desired cpu no>
+
+On a SMP guest issue a command to all CPUs try prefixing the command with cpu
+all. To issue a command to a particular cpu try cpu <cpu number> e.g.::
+
+ CPU 01 TR I R 2000.3000
+
+If you are running on a guest with several cpus & you have a IO related problem
+& cannot follow the flow of code but you know it isn't smp related.
+
+from the bash prompt issue::
+
+ shutdown -h now or halt.
+
+do a::
+
+ Q CPUS
+
+to find out how many cpus you have detach each one of them from cp except
+cpu 0 by issuing a::
+
+ DETACH CPU 01-(number of cpus in configuration)
+
+& boot linux again.
+
+TR SIGP
+ will trace inter processor signal processor instructions.
+
+DEFINE CPU 01-(number in configuration)
+ will get your guests cpus back.
+
+
+Help for displaying ascii textstrings
+-------------------------------------
+On the very latest VM Nucleus'es VM can now display ascii
+( thanks Neale for the hint ) by doing::
+
+ D TX<lowaddr>.<len>
+
+e.g.::
+
+ D TX0.100
+
+Alternatively
+=============
+Under older VM debuggers (I love EBDIC too) you can use following little
+program which converts a command line of hex digits to ascii text. It can be
+compiled under linux and you can copy the hex digits from your x3270 terminal
+to your xterm if you are debugging from a linuxbox.
+
+This is quite useful when looking at a parameter passed in as a text string
+under VM ( unless you are good at decoding ASCII in your head ).
+
+e.g. consider tracing an open syscall::
+
+ TR SVC 5
+
+We have stopped at a breakpoint::
+
+ 000151B0' SVC 0A05 -> 0001909A' CC 0
+
+D 20.8 to check the SVC old psw in the prefix area and see was it from userspace
+(for the layout of the prefix area consult the "Fixed Storage Locations"
+chapter of the s/390 Reference Summary if you have it available).
+
+::
+
+ V00000020 070C2000 800151B2
+
+The problem state bit wasn't set & it's also too early in the boot sequence
+for it to be a userspace SVC if it was we would have to temporarily switch the
+psw to user space addressing so we could get at the first parameter of the open
+in gpr2.
+
+Next do a::
+
+ D G2
+ GPR 2 = 00014CB4
+
+Now display what gpr2 is pointing to::
+
+ D 00014CB4.20
+ V00014CB4 2F646576 2F636F6E 736F6C65 00001BF5
+ V00014CC4 FC00014C B4001001 E0001000 B8070707
+
+Now copy the text till the first 00 hex ( which is the end of the string
+to an xterm & do hex2ascii on it::
+
+ hex2ascii 2F646576 2F636F6E 736F6C65 00
+
+outputs::
+
+ Decoded Hex:=/ d e v / c o n s o l e 0x00
+
+We were opening the console device,
+
+You can compile the code below yourself for practice :-),

+
+Stack tracing under VM
+----------------------
+A basic backtrace
+-----------------
+
+Here are the tricks I use 9 out of 10 times it works pretty well,
+
+When your backchain reaches a dead end
+--------------------------------------
+This can happen when an exception happens in the kernel and the kernel is
+entered twice. If you reach the NULL pointer at the end of the back chain you
+should be able to sniff further back if you follow the following tricks.
+1) A kernel address should be easy to recognise since it is in
+primary space & the problem state bit isn't set & also
+The Hi bit of the address is set.
+2) Another backchain should also be easy to recognise since it is an
+address pointing to another address approximately 100 bytes or 0x70 hex
+behind the current stackpointer.
+
+
+Here is some practice.
+
+boot the kernel & hit PA1 at some random time
+
+d g to display the gprs, this should display something like::
+
+ GPR 0 = 00000001 00156018 0014359C 00000000
+ GPR 4 = 00000001 001B8888 000003E0 00000000
+ GPR 8 = 00100080 00100084 00000000 000FE000
+ GPR 12 = 00010400 8001B2DC 8001B36A 000FFED8
+
+Note that GPR14 is a return address but as we are real men we are going to
+trace the stack.
+display 0x40 bytes after the stack pointer::
+
+ V000FFED8 000FFF38 8001B838 80014C8E 000FFF38
+ V000FFEE8 00000000 00000000 000003E0 00000000
+ V000FFEF8 00100080 00100084 00000000 000FE000
+ V000FFF08 00010400 8001B2DC 8001B36A 000FFED8
+
+
+Ah now look at whats in sp+56 (sp+0x38) this is 8001B36A our saved r14 if
+you look above at our stackframe & also agrees with GPR14.
+
+now backchain::
+
+ d 000FFF38.40
+
+we now are taking the contents of SP to get our first backchain::
+
+ V000FFF38 000FFFA0 00000000 00014995 00147094
+ V000FFF48 00147090 001470A0 000003E0 00000000
+ V000FFF58 00100080 00100084 00000000 001BF1D0
+ V000FFF68 00010400 800149BA 80014CA6 000FFF38
+
+This displays a 2nd return address of 80014CA6
+
+now do::
+
+ d 000FFFA0.40
+
+for our 3rd backchain::
+
+ V000FFFA0 04B52002 0001107F 00000000 00000000
+ V000FFFB0 00000000 00000000 FF000000 0001107F
+ V000FFFC0 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
+ V000FFFD0 00010400 80010802 8001085A 000FFFA0
+
+
+our 3rd return address is 8001085A
+
+as the 04B52002 looks suspiciously like rubbish it is fair to assume that the
+kernel entry routines for the sake of optimisation don't set up a backchain.
+
+now look at System.map to see if the addresses make any sense::
+
+ grep -i 0001b3 System.map
+
+outputs among other things::
+
+ 0001b304 T cpu_idle
+
+so 8001B36A
+is cpu_idle+0x66 ( quiet the cpu is asleep, don't wake it )
+
+::
+
+ grep -i 00014 System.map
+
+produces among other things::
+
+ 00014a78 T start_kernel
+
+so 0014CA6 is start_kernel+some hex number I can't add in my head.
+
+::
+
+ grep -i 00108 System.map
+
+this produces::
+
+ 00010800 T _stext
+
+so 8001085A is _stext+0x5a
+
+Congrats you've done your first backchain.
+
+
+
+s/390 & z/Architecture IO Overview
+==================================
+
+I am not going to give a course in 390 IO architecture as this would take me
+quite a while and I'm no expert. Instead I'll give a 390 IO architecture
+summary for Dummies. If you have the s/390 principles of operation available
+read this instead. If nothing else you may find a few useful keywords in here
+and be able to use them on a web search engine to find more useful information.
+
+Unlike other bus architectures modern 390 systems do their IO using mostly
+fibre optics and devices such as tapes and disks can be shared between several
+mainframes. Also S390 can support up to 65536 devices while a high end PC based
+system might be choking with around 64.
+
+Here is some of the common IO terminology:
+
+Subchannel:
+ This is the logical number most IO commands use to talk to an IO device. There
+ can be up to 0x10000 (65536) of these in a configuration, typically there are a
+ few hundred. Under VM for simplicity they are allocated contiguously, however
+ on the native hardware they are not. They typically stay consistent between
+ boots provided no new hardware is inserted or removed.
+
+ Under Linux for s390 we use these as IRQ's and also when issuing an IO command
+ (CLEAR SUBCHANNEL, HALT SUBCHANNEL, MODIFY SUBCHANNEL, RESUME SUBCHANNEL,
+ START SUBCHANNEL, STORE SUBCHANNEL and TEST SUBCHANNEL). We use this as the ID
+ of the device we wish to talk to. The most important of these instructions are
+ START SUBCHANNEL (to start IO), TEST SUBCHANNEL (to check whether the IO
+ completed successfully) and HALT SUBCHANNEL (to kill IO). A subchannel can have
+ up to 8 channel paths to a device, this offers redundancy if one is not
+ available.
+
+Device Number:
+ This number remains static and is closely tied to the hardware. There are 65536
+ of these, made up of a CHPID (Channel Path ID, the most significant 8 bits) and
+ another lsb 8 bits. These remain static even if more devices are inserted or
+ removed from the hardware. There is a 1 to 1 mapping between subchannels and
+ device numbers, provided devices aren't inserted or removed.
+
+Channel Control Words:
+ CCWs are linked lists of instructions initially pointed to by an operation
+ request block (ORB), which is initially given to Start Subchannel (SSCH)
+ command along with the subchannel number for the IO subsystem to process
+ while the CPU continues executing normal code.
+ CCWs come in two flavours, Format 0 (24 bit for backward compatibility) and
+ Format 1 (31 bit). These are typically used to issue read and write (and many
+ other) instructions. They consist of a length field and an absolute address
+ field.
+
+ Each IO typically gets 1 or 2 interrupts, one for channel end (primary status)
+ when the channel is idle, and the second for device end (secondary status).
+ Sometimes you get both concurrently. You check how the IO went on by issuing a
+ TEST SUBCHANNEL at each interrupt, from which you receive an Interruption
+ response block (IRB). If you get channel and device end status in the IRB
+ without channel checks etc. your IO probably went okay. If you didn't you
+ probably need to examine the IRB, extended status word etc.
+ If an error occurs, more sophisticated control units have a facility known as
+ concurrent sense. This means that if an error occurs Extended sense information
+ will be presented in the Extended status word in the IRB. If not you have to
+ issue a subsequent SENSE CCW command after the test subchannel.
+
+
+TPI (Test pending interrupt) can also be used for polled IO, but in
+multitasking multiprocessor systems it isn't recommended except for
+checking special cases (i.e. non looping checks for pending IO etc.).
+
+Store Subchannel and Modify Subchannel can be used to examine and modify
+operating characteristics of a subchannel (e.g. channel paths).
+
+Other IO related Terms:
+
+Sysplex:
+ S390's Clustering Technology
+QDIO:
+ S390's new high speed IO architecture to support devices such as gigabit
+ ethernet, this architecture is also designed to be forward compatible with
+ upcoming 64 bit machines.
+
+
+General Concepts
+----------------
+
+Input Output Processors (IOP's) are responsible for communicating between
+the mainframe CPU's & the channel & relieve the mainframe CPU's from the
+burden of communicating with IO devices directly, this allows the CPU's to
+concentrate on data processing.
+
+IOP's can use one or more links ( known as channel paths ) to talk to each
+IO device. It first checks for path availability & chooses an available one,
+then starts ( & sometimes terminates IO ).
+There are two types of channel path: ESCON & the Parallel IO interface.
+
+IO devices are attached to control units, control units provide the
+logic to interface the channel paths & channel path IO protocols to
+the IO devices, they can be integrated with the devices or housed separately
+& often talk to several similar devices ( typical examples would be raid
+controllers or a control unit which connects to 1000 3270 terminals )::

+ CPU = Central Processing Unit
+ C = Channel
+ IOP = IP Processor
+ CU = Control Unit
+
+The 390 IO systems come in 2 flavours the current 390 machines support both
+
+The Older 360 & 370 Interface,sometimes called the Parallel I/O interface,
+sometimes called Bus-and Tag & sometimes Original Equipment Manufacturers
+Interface (OEMI).
+
+This byte wide Parallel channel path/bus has parity & data on the "Bus" cable
+and control lines on the "Tag" cable. These can operate in byte multiplex mode
+for sharing between several slow devices or burst mode and monopolize the
+channel for the whole burst. Up to 256 devices can be addressed on one of these
+cables. These cables are about one inch in diameter. The maximum unextended
+length supported by these cables is 125 Meters but this can be extended up to
+2km with a fibre optic channel extended such as a 3044. The maximum burst speed
+supported is 4.5 megabytes per second. However, some really old processors
+support only transfer rates of 3.0, 2.0 & 1.0 MB/sec.
+One of these paths can be daisy chained to up to 8 control units.
+
+
+ESCON if fibre optic it is also called FICON
+Was introduced by IBM in 1990. Has 2 fibre optic cables and uses either leds or
+lasers for communication at a signaling rate of up to 200 megabits/sec. As
+10bits are transferred for every 8 bits info this drops to 160 megabits/sec
+and to 18.6 Megabytes/sec once control info and CRC are added. ESCON only
+operates in burst mode.
+
+ESCONs typical max cable length is 3km for the led version and 20km for the
+laser version known as XDF (extended distance facility). This can be further
+extended by using an ESCON director which triples the above mentioned ranges.
+Unlike Bus & Tag as ESCON is serial it uses a packet switching architecture,
+the standard Bus & Tag control protocol is however present within the packets.
+Up to 256 devices can be attached to each control unit that uses one of these
+interfaces.
+
+Common 390 Devices include:
+Network adapters typically OSA2,3172's,2116's & OSA-E gigabit ethernet adapters,
+Consoles 3270 & 3215 (a teletype emulated under linux for a line mode console).
+DASD's direct access storage devices ( otherwise known as hard disks ).
+Tape Drives.
+CTC ( Channel to Channel Adapters ),
+ESCON or Parallel Cables used as a very high speed serial link
+between 2 machines.
+
+
+Debugging IO on s/390 & z/Architecture under VM
+===============================================
+
+Now we are ready to go on with IO tracing commands under VM
+
+A few self explanatory queries::
+
+ Q OSA
+ Q CTC
+ Q DISK ( This command is CMS specific )
+ Q DASD
+
+Q OSA on my machine returns::
+
+ OSA 7C08 ON OSA 7C08 SUBCHANNEL = 0000
+ OSA 7C09 ON OSA 7C09 SUBCHANNEL = 0001
+ OSA 7C14 ON OSA 7C14 SUBCHANNEL = 0002
+ OSA 7C15 ON OSA 7C15 SUBCHANNEL = 0003
+
+If you have a guest with certain privileges you may be able to see devices
+which don't belong to you. To avoid this, add the option V.
+e.g.::
+
+ Q V OSA
+
+Now using the device numbers returned by this command we will
+Trace the io starting up on the first device 7c08 & 7c09
+In our simplest case we can trace the
+start subchannels
+like TR SSCH 7C08-7C09
+or the halt subchannels
+or TR HSCH 7C08-7C09
+MSCH's ,STSCH's I think you can guess the rest
+
+A good trick is tracing all the IO's and CCWS and spooling them into the reader
+of another VM guest so he can ftp the logfile back to his own machine. I'll do
+a small bit of this and give you a look at the output.
+
+1) Spool stdout to VM reader::
+
+ SP PRT TO (another vm guest ) or * for the local vm guest
+
+2) Fill the reader with the trace::
+
+ TR IO 7c08-7c09 INST INT CCW PRT RUN
+
+3) Start up linux::
+
+ i 00c
+4) Finish the trace::
+
+ TR END
+
+5) close the reader::
+
+ C PRT
+
+6) list reader contents::
+
+ RDRLIST
+
+7) copy it to linux4's minidisk::
+
+ RECEIVE / LOG TXT A1 ( replace
+
+8)
+filel & press F11 to look at it
+You should see something like::
+
+ 00020942' SSCH B2334000 0048813C CC 0 SCH 0000 DEV 7C08
+ CPA 000FFDF0 PARM 00E2C9C4 KEY 0 FPI C0 LPM 80
+ CCW 000FFDF0 E4200100 00487FE8 0000 E4240100 ........
+ IDAL 43D8AFE8
+ IDAL 0FB76000
+ 00020B0A' I/O DEV 7C08 -> 000197BC' SCH 0000 PARM 00E2C9C4
+ 00021628' TSCH B2354000 >> 00488164 CC 0 SCH 0000 DEV 7C08
+ CCWA 000FFDF8 DEV STS 0C SCH STS 00 CNT 00EC
+ KEY 0 FPI C0 CC 0 CTLS 4007
+ 00022238' STSCH B2344000 >> 00488108 CC 0 SCH 0000 DEV 7C08
+
+If you don't like messing up your readed ( because you possibly booted from it )
+you can alternatively spool it to another readers guest.
+
+
+Other common VM device related commands
+---------------------------------------------
+These commands are listed only because they have
+been of use to me in the past & may be of use to
+you too. For more complete info on each of the commands
+use type HELP <command> from CMS.
+
+detaching devices::
+
+ DET <devno range>
+ ATT <devno range> <guest>
+
+attach a device to guest * for your own guest
+
+READY <devno>
+ cause VM to issue a fake interrupt.
+
+The VARY command is normally only available to VM administrators::
+
+ VARY ON PATH <path> TO <devno range>
+ VARY OFF PATH <PATH> FROM <devno range>
+
+This is used to switch on or off channel paths to devices.
+
+Q CHPID <channel path ID>
+ This displays state of devices using this channel path
+
+D SCHIB <subchannel>
+ This displays the subchannel information SCHIB block for the device.
+ this I believe is also only available to administrators.
+
+DEFINE CTC <devno>
+ defines a virtual CTC channel to channel connection
+ 2 need to be defined on each guest for the CTC driver to use.
+
+COUPLE devno userid remote devno
+ Joins a local virtual device to a remote virtual device
+ ( commonly used for the CTC driver ).
+
+Building a VM ramdisk under CMS which linux can use::
+
+ def vfb-<blocksize> <subchannel> <number blocks>
+
+blocksize is commonly 4096 for linux.
+
+Formatting it::
+
+ format <subchannel> <driver letter e.g. x> (blksize <blocksize>
+
+Sharing a disk between multiple guests::
+
+ LINK userid devno1 devno2 mode password
+
+
+
+GDB on S390
+===========
+N.B. if compiling for debugging gdb works better without optimisation
+( see Compiling programs for debugging )
+
+invocation
+----------
+gdb <victim program> <optional corefile>
+
+Online help
+-----------
+help: gives help on commands
+
+e.g.::
+
+ help
+ help display
+
+Note gdb's online help is very good use it.
+
+
+Assembly
+--------
+info registers:
+ displays registers other than floating point.
+
+info all-registers:
+ displays floating points as well.
+
+disassemble:
+ disassembles
+
+e.g.::
+
+ disassemble without parameters will disassemble the current function
+ disassemble $pc $pc+10
+
+Viewing & modifying variables
+-----------------------------
+print or p:
+ displays variable or register
+
+e.g. p/x $sp will display the stack pointer
+
+display:
+ prints variable or register each time program stops
+
+e.g.::
+
+ display/x $pc will display the program counter
+ display argc
+
+undisplay:
+ undo's display's
+
+info breakpoints:
+ shows all current breakpoints
+
+info stack:
+ shows stack back trace (if this doesn't work too well, I'll show
+ you the stacktrace by hand below).
+
+info locals:
+ displays local variables.
+
+info args:
+ display current procedure arguments.
+
+set args:
+ will set argc & argv each time the victim program is invoked
+
+e.g.::
+
+ set <variable>=value
+ set argc=100
+ set $pc=0
+
+
+
+Modifying execution
+-------------------
+step:
+ steps n lines of sourcecode
+
+step
+ steps 1 line.
+
+step 100
+ steps 100 lines of code.
+
+next:
+ like step except this will not step into subroutines
+
+stepi:
+ steps a single machine code instruction.
+
+e.g.::
+
+ stepi 100
+
+nexti:
+ steps a single machine code instruction but will not step into
+ subroutines.
+
+finish:
+ will run until exit of the current routine
+
+run:
+ (re)starts a program
+
+cont:
+ continues a program
+
+quit:
+ exits gdb.
+
+
+breakpoints
+------------
+
+break
+ sets a breakpoint
+
+e.g.::
+
+ break main
+ break *$pc
+ break *0x400618
+
+Here's a really useful one for large programs
+
+rbr
+ Set a breakpoint for all functions matching REGEXP
+
+e.g.::
+
+ rbr 390
+
+will set a breakpoint with all functions with 390 in their name.
+
+info breakpoints
+ lists all breakpoints
+
+delete:
+ delete breakpoint by number or delete them all
+
+e.g.
+
+delete 1
+ will delete the first breakpoint
+
+
+delete
+ will delete them all
+
+watch:
+ This will set a watchpoint ( usually hardware assisted ),
+
+This will watch a variable till it changes
+
+e.g.
+
+watch cnt
+ will watch the variable cnt till it changes.
+
+As an aside unfortunately gdb's, architecture independent watchpoint code
+is inconsistent & not very good, watchpoints usually work but not always.
+
+info watchpoints:
+ Display currently active watchpoints
+
+condition: ( another useful one )
+ Specify breakpoint number N to break only if COND is true.
+
+Usage is `condition N COND`, where N is an integer and COND is an
+expression to be evaluated whenever breakpoint N is reached.
+
+
+
+User defined functions/macros
+-----------------------------
+define: ( Note this is very very useful,simple & powerful )
+
+usage define <name> <list of commands> end
+
+examples which you should consider putting into .gdbinit in your home
+directory::
+
+ define d
+ stepi
+ disassemble $pc $pc+10
+ end
+ define e
+ nexti
+ disassemble $pc $pc+10
+ end
+
+
+Other hard to classify stuff
+----------------------------
+signal n:
+ sends the victim program a signal.
+
+e.g. `signal 3` will send a SIGQUIT.
+
+info signals:
+ what gdb does when the victim receives certain signals.
+
+list:
+
+e.g.:
+
+list
+ lists current function source
+list 1,10
+ list first 10 lines of current file.
+
+list test.c:1,10
+
+
+directory:
+ Adds directories to be searched for source if gdb cannot find the source.
+ (note it is a bit sensitive about slashes)
+
+e.g. To add the root of the filesystem to the searchpath do::
+
+ directory //
+
+
+call <function>
+This calls a function in the victim program, this is pretty powerful
+e.g.
+(gdb) call printf("hello world")
+outputs:
+$1 = 11
+
+You might now be thinking that the line above didn't work, something extra had
+to be done.
+(gdb) call fflush(stdout)
+hello world$2 = 0
+As an aside the debugger also calls malloc & free under the hood
+to make space for the "hello world" string.
+
+
+
+hints
+-----
+1) command completion works just like bash
+ ( if you are a bad typist like me this really helps )
+
+e.g. hit br <TAB> & cursor up & down :-).
+
+2) if you have a debugging problem that takes a few steps to recreate
+put the steps into a file called .gdbinit in your current working directory
+if you have defined a few extra useful user defined commands put these in
+your home directory & they will be read each time gdb is launched.
+
+A typical .gdbinit file might be.::
+
+ break main
+ run
+ break runtime_exception
+ cont
+
+
+stack chaining in gdb by hand
+-----------------------------
+This is done using a the same trick described for VM::
+
+ p/x (*($sp+56))&0x7fffffff
+
+get the first backchain.
+
+For z/Architecture
+Replace 56 with 112 & ignore the &0x7fffffff
+in the macros below & do nasty casts to longs like the following
+as gdb unfortunately deals with printed arguments as ints which
+messes up everything.
+
+i.e. here is a 3rd backchain dereference::
+
+ p/x *(long *)(***(long ***)$sp+112)
+
+
+this outputs::
+
+ $5 = 0x528f18
+
+on my machine.
+
+Now you can use::
+
+ info symbol (*($sp+56))&0x7fffffff
+
+you might see something like::
+
+ rl_getc + 36 in section .text
+
+telling you what is located at address 0x528f18
+Now do::
+
+ p/x (*(*$sp+56))&0x7fffffff
+
+This outputs::
+
+ $6 = 0x528ed0
+
+Now do::
+
+ info symbol (*(*$sp+56))&0x7fffffff
+ rl_read_key + 180 in section .text
+
+now do::
+
+ p/x (*(**$sp+56))&0x7fffffff
+
+& so on.
+
+Disassembling instructions without debug info
+---------------------------------------------
+gdb typically complains if there is a lack of debugging
+symbols in the disassemble command with
+"No function contains specified address." To get around
+this do::
+
+ x/<number lines to disassemble>xi <address>
+
+e.g.::
+
+ x/20xi 0x400730
+
+
+
+Note:
+ Remember gdb has history just like bash you don't need to retype the
+ whole line just use the up & down arrows.
+
+
+
+For more info
+-------------
+From your linuxbox do::
+
+ man gdb
+
+or::
+
+ info gdb.
+
+core dumps
+----------
+
+What a core dump ?
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A core dump is a file generated by the kernel (if allowed) which contains the
+registers and all active pages of the program which has crashed.
+
+From this file gdb will allow you to look at the registers, stack trace and
+memory of the program as if it just crashed on your system. It is usually
+called core and created in the current working directory.
+
+This is very useful in that a customer can mail a core dump to a technical
+support department and the technical support department can reconstruct what
+happened. Provided they have an identical copy of this program with debugging
+symbols compiled in and the source base of this build is available.
+
+In short it is far more useful than something like a crash log could ever hope
+to be.
+
+Why have I never seen one ?
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Probably because you haven't used the command::
+
+ ulimit -c unlimited in bash
+
+to allow core dumps, now do::
+
+ ulimit -a
+
+to verify that the limit was accepted.
+
+A sample core dump
+ To create this I'm going to do::
+
+ ulimit -c unlimited
+ gdb
+
+to launch gdb (my victim app. ) now be bad & do the following from another
+telnet/xterm session to the same machine::

+LDD
+===
+This is a program which lists the shared libraries which a library needs,
+Note you also get the relocations of the shared library text segments which
+help when using objdump --source.
+
+e.g.::
+
+ ldd ./gdb
+
+outputs::
+
+ libncurses.so.4 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.4 (0x40018000)
+ libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4005e000)
+ libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40084000)
+ /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
+
+
+Debugging shared libraries
+==========================
+Most programs use shared libraries, however it can be very painful
+when you single step instruction into a function like printf for the
+first time & you end up in functions like _dl_runtime_resolve this is
+the ld.so doing lazy binding, lazy binding is a concept in ELF where
+shared library functions are not loaded into memory unless they are
+actually used, great for saving memory but a pain to debug.
+
+To get around this either relink the program -static or exit gdb type
+export LD_BIND_NOW=true this will stop lazy binding & restart the gdb'ing
+the program in question.
+
+
+
+Debugging modules
+=================
+As modules are dynamically loaded into the kernel their address can be
+anywhere to get around this use the -m option with insmod to emit a load
+map which can be piped into a file if required.
+
+The proc file system
+====================
+What is it ?.
+It is a filesystem created by the kernel with files which are created on demand
+by the kernel if read, or can be used to modify kernel parameters,
+it is a powerful concept.
+
+e.g.::
+
+ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
+
+On my machine outputs::
+
+ 0
+
+telling me ip_forwarding is not on to switch it on I can do::
+
+ echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
+
+cat it again::
+
+ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
+
+On my machine now outputs::
+
+ 1
+
+IP forwarding is on.
+
+There is a lot of useful info in here best found by going in and having a look
+around, so I'll take you through some entries I consider important.
+
+All the processes running on the machine have their own entry defined by
+/proc/<pid>
+
+So lets have a look at the init process::
+
+ cd /proc/1
+ cat cmdline
+
+emits::
+
+ init [2]
+
+::
+
+ cd /proc/1/fd
+
+This contains numerical entries of all the open files,
+some of these you can cat e.g. stdout (2)::
+
+ cat /proc/29/maps
+
+on my machine emits::
+

+Showing us the shared libraries init uses where they are in memory
+& memory access permissions for each virtual memory area.
+
+/proc/1/cwd is a softlink to the current working directory.
+
+/proc/1/root is the root of the filesystem for this process.
+
+/proc/1/mem is the current running processes memory which you
+can read & write to like a file.
+
+strace uses this sometimes as it is a bit faster than the
+rather inefficient ptrace interface for peeking at DATA.

+
+Some driver debugging techniques
+================================
+debug feature
+-------------
+Some of our drivers now support a "debug feature" in
+/proc/s390dbf see s390dbf.txt in the linux/Documentation directory
+for more info.
+
+e.g.
+to switch on the lcs "debug feature"::
+
+ echo 5 > /proc/s390dbf/lcs/level
+
+& then after the error occurred::
+
+ cat /proc/s390dbf/lcs/sprintf >/logfile
+
+the logfile now contains some information which may help
+tech support resolve a problem in the field.
+
+
+
+high level debugging network drivers
+------------------------------------
+ifconfig is a quite useful command
+it gives the current state of network drivers.
+
+If you suspect your network device driver is dead
+one way to check is type::
+
+ ifconfig <network device>
+
+e.g. tr0
+
+You should see something like::
+
+ ifconfig tr0
+ tr0 Link encap:16/4 Mbps Token Ring (New) HWaddr 00:04:AC:20:8E:48
+ inet addr:9.164.185.132 Bcast:9.164.191.255 Mask:255.255.224.0
+ UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:2000 Metric:1
+ RX packets:246134 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
+ TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
+ collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
+
+if the device doesn't say up
+try::
+
+ /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
+
+( this starts the network stack & hopefully calls ifconfig tr0 up ).
+ifconfig looks at the output of /proc/net/dev and presents it in a more
+presentable form.
+
+Now ping the device from a machine in the same subnet.
+
+if the RX packets count & TX packets counts don't increment you probably
+have problems.
+
+next::
+
+ cat /proc/net/arp
+
+Do you see any hardware addresses in the cache if not you may have problems.
+Next try::
+
+ ping -c 5 <broadcast_addr>
+
+i.e. the Bcast field above in the output of
+ifconfig. Do you see any replies from machines other than the local machine
+if not you may have problems. also if the TX packets count in ifconfig
+hasn't incremented either you have serious problems in your driver
+(e.g. the txbusy field of the network device being stuck on )
+or you may have multiple network devices connected.
+
+
+chandev
+-------
+There is a new device layer for channel devices, some
+drivers e.g. lcs are registered with this layer.
+
+If the device uses the channel device layer you'll be
+able to find what interrupts it uses & the current state
+of the device.
+
+See the manpage chandev.8 &type cat /proc/chandev for more info.
+
+
+SysRq
+=====
+This is now supported by linux for s/390 & z/Architecture.
+
+To enable it do compile the kernel with::
+
+ Kernel Hacking -> Magic SysRq Key Enabled
+
+Then::
+
+ echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
+
+also type::
+
+ echo "8" >/proc/sys/kernel/printk
+
+To make printk output go to console.
+
+On 390 all commands are prefixed with::
+
+ ^-
+
+e.g.::
+
+ ^-t will show tasks.
+ ^-? or some unknown command will display help.
+
+The sysrq key reading is very picky ( I have to type the keys in an
+xterm session & paste them into the x3270 console )
+& it may be wise to predefine the keys as described in the VM hints above
+
+This is particularly useful for syncing disks unmounting & rebooting
+if the machine gets partially hung.
+
+Read Documentation/admin-guide/sysrq.rst for more info

+S390 Debug Feature
+==================
+
+files:
+ - arch/s390/kernel/debug.c
+ - arch/s390/include/asm/debug.h
+
+Description:
+------------
+The goal of this feature is to provide a kernel debug logging API
+where log records can be stored efficiently in memory, where each component
+(e.g. device drivers) can have one separate debug log.
+One purpose of this is to inspect the debug logs after a production system crash
+in order to analyze the reason for the crash.
+
+If the system still runs but only a subcomponent which uses dbf fails,
+it is possible to look at the debug logs on a live system via the Linux
+debugfs filesystem.
+
+The debug feature may also very useful for kernel and driver development.
+
+Design:
+-------
+Kernel components (e.g. device drivers) can register themselves at the debug
+feature with the function call :c:func:`debug_register()`.
+This function initializes a
+debug log for the caller. For each debug log exists a number of debug areas
+where exactly one is active at one time. Each debug area consists of contiguous
+pages in memory. In the debug areas there are stored debug entries (log records)
+which are written by event- and exception-calls.
+
+An event-call writes the specified debug entry to the active debug
+area and updates the log pointer for the active area. If the end
+of the active debug area is reached, a wrap around is done (ring buffer)
+and the next debug entry will be written at the beginning of the active
+debug area.
+
+An exception-call writes the specified debug entry to the log and
+switches to the next debug area. This is done in order to be sure
+that the records which describe the origin of the exception are not
+overwritten when a wrap around for the current area occurs.
+
+The debug areas themselves are also ordered in form of a ring buffer.
+When an exception is thrown in the last debug area, the following debug
+entries are then written again in the very first area.
+
+There are four versions for the event- and exception-calls: One for
+logging raw data, one for text, one for numbers (unsigned int and long),
+and one for sprintf-like formatted strings.
+
+Each debug entry contains the following data:
+
+- Timestamp
+- Cpu-Number of calling task
+- Level of debug entry (0...6)
+- Return Address to caller
+- Flag, if entry is an exception or not
+
+The debug logs can be inspected in a live system through entries in
+the debugfs-filesystem. Under the toplevel directory "``s390dbf``" there is
+a directory for each registered component, which is named like the
+corresponding component. The debugfs normally should be mounted to
+``/sys/kernel/debug`` therefore the debug feature can be accessed under
+``/sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf``.
+
+The content of the directories are files which represent different views
+to the debug log. Each component can decide which views should be
+used through registering them with the function :c:func:`debug_register_view()`.
+Predefined views for hex/ascii, sprintf and raw binary data are provided.
+It is also possible to define other views. The content of
+a view can be inspected simply by reading the corresponding debugfs file.
+
+All debug logs have an actual debug level (range from 0 to 6).
+The default level is 3. Event and Exception functions have a :c:data:`level`
+parameter. Only debug entries with a level that is lower or equal
+than the actual level are written to the log. This means, when
+writing events, high priority log entries should have a low level
+value whereas low priority entries should have a high one.
+The actual debug level can be changed with the help of the debugfs-filesystem
+through writing a number string "x" to the ``level`` debugfs file which is
+provided for every debug log. Debugging can be switched off completely
+by using "-" on the ``level`` debugfs file.
+
+Example::
+
+ > echo "-" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
+
+It is also possible to deactivate the debug feature globally for every
+debug log. You can change the behavior using 2 sysctl parameters in
+``/proc/sys/s390dbf``:
+
+There are currently 2 possible triggers, which stop the debug feature
+globally. The first possibility is to use the ``debug_active`` sysctl. If
+set to 1 the debug feature is running. If ``debug_active`` is set to 0 the
+debug feature is turned off.
+
+The second trigger which stops the debug feature is a kernel oops.
+That prevents the debug feature from overwriting debug information that
+happened before the oops. After an oops you can reactivate the debug feature
+by piping 1 to ``/proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_active``. Nevertheless, it's not
+suggested to use an oopsed kernel in a production environment.
+
+If you want to disallow the deactivation of the debug feature, you can use
+the ``debug_stoppable`` sysctl. If you set ``debug_stoppable`` to 0 the debug
+feature cannot be stopped. If the debug feature is already stopped, it
+will stay deactivated.

+Changing the debug level
+------------------------
+
+Example::
+
+
+ > cat /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
+ 3
+ > echo "5" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
+ > cat /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
+ 5
+
+Flushing debug areas
+--------------------
+Debug areas can be flushed with piping the number of the desired
+area (0...n) to the debugfs file "flush". When using "-" all debug areas
+are flushed.
+
+Examples:
+
+1. Flush debug area 0::
+
+ > echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/flush
+
+2. Flush all debug areas::
+
+ > echo "-" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/flush
+
+Changing the size of debug areas
+------------------------------------
+It is possible the change the size of debug areas through piping
+the number of pages to the debugfs file "pages". The resize request will
+also flush the debug areas.
+
+Example:
+
+Define 4 pages for the debug areas of debug feature "dasd"::
+
+ > echo "4" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/pages
+
+Stopping the debug feature
+--------------------------
+Example:
+
+1. Check if stopping is allowed::
+
+ > cat /proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_stoppable
+
+2. Stop debug feature::
+
+ > echo 0 > /proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_active
+
+crash Interface
+----------------
+The ``crash`` tool since v5.1.0 has a built-in command
+``s390dbf`` to display all the debug logs or export them to the file system.
+With this tool it is possible
+to investigate the debug logs on a live system and with a memory dump after
+a system crash.
+
+Investigating raw memory
+------------------------
+One last possibility to investigate the debug logs at a live
+system and after a system crash is to look at the raw memory
+under VM or at the Service Element.
+It is possible to find the anchor of the debug-logs through
+the ``debug_area_first`` symbol in the System map. Then one has
+to follow the correct pointers of the data-structures defined
+in debug.h and find the debug-areas in memory.
+Normally modules which use the debug feature will also have
+a global variable with the pointer to the debug-logs. Following
+this pointer it will also be possible to find the debug logs in
+memory.
+
+For this method it is recommended to use '16 * x + 4' byte (x = 0..n)
+for the length of the data field in :c:func:`debug_register()` in
+order to see the debug entries well formatted.
+
+
+Predefined Views
+----------------
+
+There are three predefined views: hex_ascii, raw and sprintf.
+The hex_ascii view shows the data field in hex and ascii representation
+(e.g. ``45 43 4b 44 | ECKD``).
+The raw view returns a bytestream as the debug areas are stored in memory.
+
+The sprintf view formats the debug entries in the same way as the sprintf
+function would do. The sprintf event/exception functions write to the
+debug entry a pointer to the format string (size = sizeof(long))
+and for each vararg a long value. So e.g. for a debug entry with a format
+string plus two varargs one would need to allocate a (3 * sizeof(long))
+byte data area in the debug_register() function.
+
+IMPORTANT:
+ Using "%s" in sprintf event functions is dangerous. You can only
+ use "%s" in the sprintf event functions, if the memory for the passed string
+ is available as long as the debug feature exists. The reason behind this is
+ that due to performance considerations only a pointer to the string is stored
+ in the debug feature. If you log a string that is freed afterwards, you will
+ get an OOPS when inspecting the debug feature, because then the debug feature
+ will access the already freed memory.
+
+NOTE:
+ If using the sprintf view do NOT use other event/exception functions
+ than the sprintf-event and -exception functions.
+
+The format of the hex_ascii and sprintf view is as follows:
+
+- Number of area
+- Timestamp (formatted as seconds and microseconds since 00:00:00 Coordinated
+ Universal Time (UTC), January 1, 1970)
+- level of debug entry
+- Exception flag (* = Exception)
+- Cpu-Number of calling task
+- Return Address to caller
+- data field
+
+The format of the raw view is:
+
+- Header as described in debug.h
+- datafield
+
+A typical line of the hex_ascii view will look like the following (first line
+is only for explanation and will not be displayed when 'cating' the view)::
+
+ area time level exception cpu caller data (hex + ascii)

+
+Defining views
+--------------
+
+Views are specified with the 'debug_view' structure. There are defined
+callback functions which are used for reading and writing the debugfs files:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct debug_view {
+ char name[DEBUG_MAX_PROCF_LEN];
+ debug_prolog_proc_t* prolog_proc;
+ debug_header_proc_t* header_proc;
+ debug_format_proc_t* format_proc;
+ debug_input_proc_t* input_proc;
+ void* private_data;
+ };
+
+where:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ typedef int (debug_header_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
+ struct debug_view* view,
+ int area,
+ debug_entry_t* entry,
+ char* out_buf);
+
+ typedef int (debug_format_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
+ struct debug_view* view, char* out_buf,
+ const char* in_buf);
+ typedef int (debug_prolog_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
+ struct debug_view* view,
+ char* out_buf);
+ typedef int (debug_input_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
+ struct debug_view* view,
+ struct file* file, const char* user_buf,
+ size_t in_buf_size, loff_t* offset);
+
+
+The "private_data" member can be used as pointer to view specific data.
+It is not used by the debug feature itself.
+
+The output when reading a debugfs file is structured like this::
+
+ "prolog_proc output"
+
+ "header_proc output 1" "format_proc output 1"
+ "header_proc output 2" "format_proc output 2"
+ "header_proc output 3" "format_proc output 3"
+ ...
+
+When a view is read from the debugfs, the Debug Feature calls the
+'prolog_proc' once for writing the prolog.
+Then 'header_proc' and 'format_proc' are called for each
+existing debug entry.
+
+The input_proc can be used to implement functionality when it is written to
+the view (e.g. like with ``echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level``).
+
+For header_proc there can be used the default function
+:c:func:`debug_dflt_header_fn()` which is defined in debug.h.
+and which produces the same header output as the predefined views.
+E.g::
+
+ 00 00964419409:440761 2 - 00 88023ec

+of the default views!

-S390 Debug Feature
-==================
-
-files: arch/s390/kernel/debug.c
- arch/s390/include/asm/debug.h
-
-Description:
-------------
-The goal of this feature is to provide a kernel debug logging API
-where log records can be stored efficiently in memory, where each component
-(e.g. device drivers) can have one separate debug log.
-One purpose of this is to inspect the debug logs after a production system crash
-in order to analyze the reason for the crash.
-If the system still runs but only a subcomponent which uses dbf fails,
-it is possible to look at the debug logs on a live system via the Linux
-debugfs filesystem.
-The debug feature may also very useful for kernel and driver development.
-
-Design:
--------
-Kernel components (e.g. device drivers) can register themselves at the debug
-feature with the function call debug_register(). This function initializes a
-debug log for the caller. For each debug log exists a number of debug areas
-where exactly one is active at one time. Each debug area consists of contiguous
-pages in memory. In the debug areas there are stored debug entries (log records)
-which are written by event- and exception-calls.
-
-An event-call writes the specified debug entry to the active debug
-area and updates the log pointer for the active area. If the end
-of the active debug area is reached, a wrap around is done (ring buffer)
-and the next debug entry will be written at the beginning of the active
-debug area.
-
-An exception-call writes the specified debug entry to the log and
-switches to the next debug area. This is done in order to be sure
-that the records which describe the origin of the exception are not
-overwritten when a wrap around for the current area occurs.
-
-The debug areas themselves are also ordered in form of a ring buffer.
-When an exception is thrown in the last debug area, the following debug
-entries are then written again in the very first area.
-
-There are three versions for the event- and exception-calls: One for
-logging raw data, one for text and one for numbers.
-
-Each debug entry contains the following data:
-
-- Timestamp
-- Cpu-Number of calling task
-- Level of debug entry (0...6)
-- Return Address to caller
-- Flag, if entry is an exception or not
-
-The debug logs can be inspected in a live system through entries in
-the debugfs-filesystem. Under the toplevel directory "s390dbf" there is
-a directory for each registered component, which is named like the
-corresponding component. The debugfs normally should be mounted to
-/sys/kernel/debug therefore the debug feature can be accessed under
-/sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf.
-
-The content of the directories are files which represent different views
-to the debug log. Each component can decide which views should be
-used through registering them with the function debug_register_view().
-Predefined views for hex/ascii, sprintf and raw binary data are provided.
-It is also possible to define other views. The content of
-a view can be inspected simply by reading the corresponding debugfs file.
-
-All debug logs have an actual debug level (range from 0 to 6).
-The default level is 3. Event and Exception functions have a 'level'
-parameter. Only debug entries with a level that is lower or equal
-than the actual level are written to the log. This means, when
-writing events, high priority log entries should have a low level
-value whereas low priority entries should have a high one.
-The actual debug level can be changed with the help of the debugfs-filesystem
-through writing a number string "x" to the 'level' debugfs file which is
-provided for every debug log. Debugging can be switched off completely
-by using "-" on the 'level' debugfs file.
-
-Example:
-
-> echo "-" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
-
-It is also possible to deactivate the debug feature globally for every
-debug log. You can change the behavior using 2 sysctl parameters in
-/proc/sys/s390dbf:
-There are currently 2 possible triggers, which stop the debug feature
-globally. The first possibility is to use the "debug_active" sysctl. If
-set to 1 the debug feature is running. If "debug_active" is set to 0 the
-debug feature is turned off.
-The second trigger which stops the debug feature is a kernel oops.
-That prevents the debug feature from overwriting debug information that
-happened before the oops. After an oops you can reactivate the debug feature
-by piping 1 to /proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_active. Nevertheless, its not
-suggested to use an oopsed kernel in a production environment.
-If you want to disallow the deactivation of the debug feature, you can use
-the "debug_stoppable" sysctl. If you set "debug_stoppable" to 0 the debug
-feature cannot be stopped. If the debug feature is already stopped, it
-will stay deactivated.

-Debugfs Interface
-----------------
-Views to the debug logs can be investigated through reading the corresponding
-debugfs-files:
-
-Example:
-
-> ls /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd
-flush hex_ascii level pages raw
-> cat /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/hex_ascii | sort -k2,2 -s

-
-See section about predefined views for explanation of the above output!
-
-Changing the debug level
-------------------------
-
-Example:
-
-
-> cat /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
-3
-> echo "5" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
-> cat /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
-5
-
-Flushing debug areas
---------------------
-Debug areas can be flushed with piping the number of the desired
-area (0...n) to the debugfs file "flush". When using "-" all debug areas
-are flushed.
-
-Examples:
-
-1. Flush debug area 0:
-> echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/flush
-
-2. Flush all debug areas:
-> echo "-" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/flush
-
-Changing the size of debug areas
-------------------------------------
-It is possible the change the size of debug areas through piping
-the number of pages to the debugfs file "pages". The resize request will
-also flush the debug areas.
-
-Example:
-
-Define 4 pages for the debug areas of debug feature "dasd":
-> echo "4" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/pages
-
-Stooping the debug feature
---------------------------
-Example:
-
-1. Check if stopping is allowed
-> cat /proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_stoppable
-2. Stop debug feature
-> echo 0 > /proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_active
-
-lcrash Interface
-----------------
-It is planned that the dump analysis tool lcrash gets an additional command
-'s390dbf' to display all the debug logs. With this tool it will be possible
-to investigate the debug logs on a live system and with a memory dump after
-a system crash.
-
-Investigating raw memory
-------------------------
-One last possibility to investigate the debug logs at a live
-system and after a system crash is to look at the raw memory
-under VM or at the Service Element.
-It is possible to find the anker of the debug-logs through
-the 'debug_area_first' symbol in the System map. Then one has
-to follow the correct pointers of the data-structures defined
-in debug.h and find the debug-areas in memory.
-Normally modules which use the debug feature will also have
-a global variable with the pointer to the debug-logs. Following
-this pointer it will also be possible to find the debug logs in
-memory.
-
-For this method it is recommended to use '16 * x + 4' byte (x = 0..n)
-for the length of the data field in debug_register() in
-order to see the debug entries well formatted.
-
-
-Predefined Views
-----------------
-
-There are three predefined views: hex_ascii, raw and sprintf.
-The hex_ascii view shows the data field in hex and ascii representation
-(e.g. '45 43 4b 44 | ECKD').
-The raw view returns a bytestream as the debug areas are stored in memory.
-
-The sprintf view formats the debug entries in the same way as the sprintf
-function would do. The sprintf event/exception functions write to the
-debug entry a pointer to the format string (size = sizeof(long))
-and for each vararg a long value. So e.g. for a debug entry with a format
-string plus two varargs one would need to allocate a (3 * sizeof(long))
-byte data area in the debug_register() function.
-
-IMPORTANT: Using "%s" in sprintf event functions is dangerous. You can only
-use "%s" in the sprintf event functions, if the memory for the passed string is
-available as long as the debug feature exists. The reason behind this is that
-due to performance considerations only a pointer to the string is stored in
-the debug feature. If you log a string that is freed afterwards, you will get
-an OOPS when inspecting the debug feature, because then the debug feature will
-access the already freed memory.
-
-NOTE: If using the sprintf view do NOT use other event/exception functions
-than the sprintf-event and -exception functions.
-
-The format of the hex_ascii and sprintf view is as follows:
-- Number of area
-- Timestamp (formatted as seconds and microseconds since 00:00:00 Coordinated
- Universal Time (UTC), January 1, 1970)
-- level of debug entry
-- Exception flag (* = Exception)
-- Cpu-Number of calling task
-- Return Address to caller
-- data field
-
-The format of the raw view is:
-- Header as described in debug.h
-- datafield
-
-A typical line of the hex_ascii view will look like the following (first line
-is only for explanation and will not be displayed when 'cating' the view):
-
-area time level exception cpu caller data (hex + ascii)

-
-Defining views
---------------
-
-Views are specified with the 'debug_view' structure. There are defined
-callback functions which are used for reading and writing the debugfs files:
-
-struct debug_view {
- char name[DEBUG_MAX_PROCF_LEN];
- debug_prolog_proc_t* prolog_proc;
- debug_header_proc_t* header_proc;
- debug_format_proc_t* format_proc;
- debug_input_proc_t* input_proc;
- void* private_data;
-};
-
-where
-
-typedef int (debug_header_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
- struct debug_view* view,
- int area,
- debug_entry_t* entry,
- char* out_buf);
-
-typedef int (debug_format_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
- struct debug_view* view, char* out_buf,
- const char* in_buf);
-typedef int (debug_prolog_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
- struct debug_view* view,
- char* out_buf);
-typedef int (debug_input_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
- struct debug_view* view,
- struct file* file, const char* user_buf,
- size_t in_buf_size, loff_t* offset);
-
-
-The "private_data" member can be used as pointer to view specific data.
-It is not used by the debug feature itself.
-
-The output when reading a debugfs file is structured like this:
-
-"prolog_proc output"
-
-"header_proc output 1" "format_proc output 1"
-"header_proc output 2" "format_proc output 2"
-"header_proc output 3" "format_proc output 3"
-...
-
-When a view is read from the debugfs, the Debug Feature calls the
-'prolog_proc' once for writing the prolog.
-Then 'header_proc' and 'format_proc' are called for each
-existing debug entry.

-README file for the osst driver
-===============================
-(w) Kurt Garloff <garloff@suse.de> 12/2000
-
-This file describes the osst driver as of version 0.8.x/0.9.x, the released
-version of the osst driver.
-It is intended to help advanced users to understand the role of osst and to
-get them started using (and maybe debugging) it.
-It won't address issues like "How do I compile a kernel?" or "How do I load
-a module?", as these are too basic.
-Once the OnStream got merged into the official kernel, the distro makers
-will provide the OnStream support for those who are not familiar with
-hacking their kernels.
-
-
-Purpose
--------
-The osst driver was developed, because the standard SCSI tape driver in
-Linux, st, does not support the OnStream SC-x0 SCSI tape. The st is not to
-blame for that, as the OnStream tape drives do not support the standard SCSI
-command set for Serial Access Storage Devices (SASDs), which basically
-corresponds to the QIC-157 spec.
-Nevertheless, the OnStream tapes are nice pieces of hardware and therefore
-the osst driver has been written to make these tape devs supported by Linux.
-The driver is free software. It's released under the GNU GPL and planned to
-be integrated into the mainstream kernel.
-
-
-Implementation
---------------
-The osst is a new high-level SCSI driver, just like st, sr, sd and sg. It
-can be compiled into the kernel or loaded as a module.
-As it represents a new device, it got assigned a new device node: /dev/osstX
-are character devices with major no 206 and minor numbers like the /dev/stX
-devices. If those are not present, you may create them by calling
-Makedevs.sh as root (see below).
-The driver started being a copy of st and as such, the osst devices'
-behavior looks very much the same as st to the userspace applications.
-
-
-History
--------
-In the first place, osst shared its identity very much with st. That meant
-that it used the same kernel structures and the same device node as st.
-So you could only have either of them being present in the kernel. This has
-been fixed by registering an own device, now.
-st and osst can coexist, each only accessing the devices it can support by
-themselves.
-
-
-Installation
-------------
-osst got integrated into the linux kernel. Select it during kernel
-configuration as module or compile statically into the kernel.
-Compile your kernel and install the modules.
-
-Now, your osst driver is inside the kernel or available as a module,
-depending on your choice during kernel config. You may still need to create
-the device nodes by calling the Makedevs.sh script (see below) manually.
-
-To load your module, you may use the command
-modprobe osst
-as root. dmesg should show you, whether your OnStream tapes have been
-recognized.
-
-If you want to have the module autoloaded on access to /dev/osst, you may
-add something like
-alias char-major-206 osst
-to a file under /etc/modprobe.d/ directory.
-
-You may find it convenient to create a symbolic link
-ln -s nosst0 /dev/tape
-to make programs assuming a default name of /dev/tape more convenient to
-use.
-
-The device nodes for osst have to be created. Use the Makedevs.sh script
-attached to this file.
-
-
-Using it
---------
-You may use the OnStream tape driver with your standard backup software,
-which may be tar, cpio, amanda, arkeia, BRU, Lone Tar, ...
-by specifying /dev/(n)osst0 as the tape device to use or using the above
-symlink trick. The IOCTLs to control tape operation are also mostly
-supported and you may try the mt (or mt_st) program to jump between
-filemarks, eject the tape, ...
-
-There's one limitation: You need to use a block size of 32kB.
-
-(This limitation is worked on and will be fixed in version 0.8.8 of
- this driver.)
-
-If you just want to get started with standard software, here is an example
-for creating and restoring a full backup:
-# Backup
-tar cvf - / --exclude /proc | buffer -s 32k -m 24M -B -t -o /dev/nosst0
-# Restore
-buffer -s 32k -m 8M -B -t -i /dev/osst0 | tar xvf - -C /
-
-The buffer command has been used to buffer the data before it goes to the
-tape (or the file system) in order to smooth out the data stream and prevent
-the tape from needing to stop and rewind. The OnStream does have an internal
-buffer and a variable speed which help this, but especially on writing, the
-buffering still proves useful in most cases. It also pads the data to
-guarantees the block size of 32k. (Otherwise you may pass the -b64 option to
-tar.)
-Expect something like 1.8MB/s for the SC-x0 drives and 0.9MB/s for the DI-30.
-The USB drive will give you about 0.7MB/s.
-On a fast machine, you may profit from software data compression (z flag for
-tar).
-
-
-USB and IDE
------------
-Via the SCSI emulation layers usb-storage and ide-scsi, you can also use the
-osst driver to drive the USB-30 and the DI-30 drives. (Unfortunately, there
-is no such layer for the parallel port, otherwise the DP-30 would work as
-well.) For the USB support, you need the latest 2.4.0-test kernels and the
-latest usb-storage driver from
-http://www.linux-usb.org/
-http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=3581
-
-Note that the ide-tape driver as of 1.16f uses a slightly outdated on-tape
-format and therefore is not completely interoperable with osst tapes.
-
-The ADR-x0 line is fully SCSI-2 compliant and is supported by st, not osst.
-The on-tape format is supposed to be compatible with the one used by osst.
-
-
-Feedback and updates
---------------------
-The driver development is coordinated through a mailing list
-<osst@linux1.onstream.nl>
-a CVS repository and some web pages.
-The tester's pages which contain recent news and updated drivers to download
-can be found on
-http://sourceforge.net/projects/osst/
-
-If you find any problems, please have a look at the tester's page in order
-to see whether the problem is already known and solved. Otherwise, please
-report it to the mailing list. Your feedback is welcome. (This holds also
-for reports of successful usage, of course.)
-In case of trouble, please do always provide the following info:
-* driver and kernel version used (see syslog)
-* driver messages (syslog)
-* SCSI config and OnStream Firmware (/proc/scsi/scsi)
-* description of error. Is it reproducible?
-* software and commands used
-
-You may subscribe to the mailing list, BTW, it's a majordomo list.
-
-
-Status
-------
-0.8.0 was the first widespread BETA release. Since then a lot of reports
-have been sent, but mostly reported success or only minor trouble.
-All the issues have been addressed.
-Check the web pages for more info about the current developments.
-0.9.x is the tree for the 2.3/2.4 kernel.
-
-
-Acknowledgments
-----------------
-The driver has been started by making a copy of Kai Makisara's st driver.
-Most of the development has been done by Willem Riede. The presence of the
-userspace program osg (onstreamsg) from Terry Hardie has been rather
-helpful. The same holds for Gadi Oxman's ide-tape support for the DI-30.
-I did add some patches to those drivers as well and coordinated things a
-little bit.
-Note that most of them did mostly spend their spare time for the creation of
-this driver.
-The people from OnStream, especially Jack Bombeeck did support this project
-and always tried to answer HW or FW related questions. Furthermore, he
-pushed the FW developers to do the right things.
-SuSE did support this project by allowing me to work on it during my working
-time for them and by integrating the driver into their distro.
-
-More people did help by sending useful comments. Sorry to those who have
-been forgotten. Thanks to all the GNU/FSF and Linux developers who made this
-platform such an interesting, nice and stable platform.
-Thanks go to those who tested the drivers and did send useful reports. Your
-help is needed!

+=========================================
+The TCM v4 fabric module script generator
+=========================================
+
+Greetings all,
+
+This document is intended to be a mini-HOWTO for using the tcm_mod_builder.py
+script to generate a brand new functional TCM v4 fabric .ko module of your very own,
+that once built can be immediately be loaded to start access the new TCM/ConfigFS
+fabric skeleton, by simply using::
+
+ modprobe $TCM_NEW_MOD
+ mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD
+
+This script will create a new drivers/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD/, and will do the following
+
+ 1) Generate new API callers for drivers/target/target_core_fabric_configs.c logic
+ ->make_tpg(), ->drop_tpg(), ->make_wwn(), ->drop_wwn(). These are created
+ into $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_configfs.c
+ 2) Generate basic infrastructure for loading/unloading LKMs and TCM/ConfigFS fabric module
+ using a skeleton struct target_core_fabric_ops API template.
+ 3) Based on user defined T10 Proto_Ident for the new fabric module being built,
+ the TransportID / Initiator and Target WWPN related handlers for
+ SPC-3 persistent reservation are automatically generated in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
+ using drivers/target/target_core_fabric_lib.c logic.
+ 4) NOP API calls for all other Data I/O path and fabric dependent attribute logic
+ in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
+
+tcm_mod_builder.py depends upon the mandatory '-p $PROTO_IDENT' and '-m
+$FABRIC_MOD_name' parameters, and actually running the script looks like::

->>>>>>>>>> The TCM v4 fabric module script generator <<<<<<<<<<
-
-Greetings all,
-
-This document is intended to be a mini-HOWTO for using the tcm_mod_builder.py
-script to generate a brand new functional TCM v4 fabric .ko module of your very own,
-that once built can be immediately be loaded to start access the new TCM/ConfigFS
-fabric skeleton, by simply using:
-
- modprobe $TCM_NEW_MOD
- mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD
-
-This script will create a new drivers/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD/, and will do the following
-
- *) Generate new API callers for drivers/target/target_core_fabric_configs.c logic
- ->make_tpg(), ->drop_tpg(), ->make_wwn(), ->drop_wwn(). These are created
- into $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_configfs.c
- *) Generate basic infrastructure for loading/unloading LKMs and TCM/ConfigFS fabric module
- using a skeleton struct target_core_fabric_ops API template.
- *) Based on user defined T10 Proto_Ident for the new fabric module being built,
- the TransportID / Initiator and Target WWPN related handlers for
- SPC-3 persistent reservation are automatically generated in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
- using drivers/target/target_core_fabric_lib.c logic.
- *) NOP API calls for all other Data I/O path and fabric dependent attribute logic
- in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
-
-tcm_mod_builder.py depends upon the mandatory '-p $PROTO_IDENT' and '-m
-$FABRIC_MOD_name' parameters, and actually running the script looks like:
-
-target:/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target# python tcm_mod_builder.py -p iSCSI -m tcm_nab5000

-Would you like to add tcm_nab5000to drivers/target/Kbuild..? [yes,no]: yes
-Would you like to add tcm_nab5000to drivers/target/Kconfig..? [yes,no]: yes
-
-At the end of tcm_mod_builder.py. the script will ask to add the following
-line to drivers/target/Kbuild:
-
- obj-$(CONFIG_TCM_NAB5000) += tcm_nab5000/
-
-and the same for drivers/target/Kconfig:
-
- source "drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/Kconfig"
-
-*) Run 'make menuconfig' and select the new CONFIG_TCM_NAB5000 item:
-
- <M> TCM_NAB5000 fabric module
-

+Device Naming scheme
+------------------------
+The devices that appear on the "coresight" bus were named the same as their
+parent devices, i.e, the real devices that appears on AMBA bus or the platform bus.
+Thus the names were based on the Linux Open Firmware layer naming convention,
+which follows the base physical address of the device followed by the device
+type. e.g:
+
+root:~# ls /sys/bus/coresight/devices/
+ 20010000.etf 20040000.funnel 20100000.stm 22040000.etm

+ 23040000.etm 23140000.etm 23340000.etm
+
+However, with the introduction of ACPI support, the names of the real
+devices are a bit cryptic and non-obvious. Thus, a new naming scheme was
+introduced to use more generic names based on the type of the device. The
+following rules apply:
+
+ 1) Devices that are bound to CPUs, are named based on the CPU logical
+ number.
+
+ e.g, ETM bound to CPU0 is named "etm0"
+
+ 2) All other devices follow a pattern, "<device_type_prefix>N", where :
+
+ <device_type_prefix> - A prefix specific to the type of the device
+ N - a sequential number assigned based on the order
+ of probing.
+
+ e.g, tmc_etf0, tmc_etr0, funnel0, funnel1
+
+Thus, with the new scheme the devices could appear as :
+
+root:~# ls /sys/bus/coresight/devices/
+ etm0 etm1 etm2 etm3 etm4 etm5 funnel0
+ funnel1 funnel2 replicator0 stm0 tmc_etf0 tmc_etr0 tpiu0
+
+Some of the examples below might refer to old naming scheme and some
+to the newer scheme, to give a confirmation that what you see on your
+system is not unexpected. One must use the "names" as they appear on

-Readprofile
------------
-2.6系列内核需要版本相对较新的readprofile,比如util-linux 2.12a中包含的,可以从:
-
-http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/ 下载
-
-大部分linux发行版已经包含了.
-
-启用readprofile需要在kernel启动命令行增加”profile=2“
-
-clear readprofile -r
- <test>
-dump output readprofile -m /boot/System.map > captured_profile
-
-Oprofile
---------
-
-从http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/获取源代码(请参考Changes以获取匹配的版本)
-在kernel启动命令行增加“idle=poll”
-
-配置CONFIG_PROFILING=y和CONFIG_OPROFILE=y然后重启进入新kernel
-
-./configure --with-kernel-support
-make install
-
-想得到好的测量结果,请确保启用了本地APIC特性。如果opreport显示有0Hz CPU,
-说明APIC特性没有开启。另外注意idle=poll选项可能有损性能。
-
-One time setup:
- opcontrol --setup --vmlinux=/boot/vmlinux
-
-clear opcontrol --reset
-start opcontrol --start
- <test>
-stop opcontrol --stop
-dump output opreport > output_file
-
-如果只看kernel相关的报告结果,请运行命令 opreport -l /boot/vmlinux > output_file
-
-通过reset选项可以清理过期统计数据,相当于重启的效果。

* stop: with this routine the watchdog timer device is being stopped.
+
The routine needs a pointer to the watchdog timer device structure as a
parameter. It returns zero on success or a negative errno code for failure.
Some watchdog timer hardware can only be started and not be stopped. A
driver supporting such hardware does not have to implement the stop routine.
+
If a driver has no stop function, the watchdog core will set WDOG_HW_RUNNING
and start calling the driver's keepalive pings function after the watchdog
device is closed.
+
If a watchdog driver does not implement the stop function, it must set
max_hw_heartbeat_ms.
* ping: this is the routine that sends a keepalive ping to the watchdog timer
hardware.
+
The routine needs a pointer to the watchdog timer device structure as a
parameter. It returns zero on success or a negative errno code for failure.
+
Most hardware that does not support this as a separate function uses the
start function to restart the watchdog timer hardware. And that's also what
the watchdog timer driver core does: to send a keepalive ping to the watchdog
timer hardware it will either use the ping operation (when available) or the
start operation (when the ping operation is not available).
+
(Note: the WDIOC_KEEPALIVE ioctl call will only be active when the
WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING bit has been set in the option field on the watchdog's
info structure).
* status: this routine checks the status of the watchdog timer device. The
status of the device is reported with watchdog WDIOF_* status flags/bits.
+
WDIOF_MAGICCLOSE and WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING are reported by the watchdog core;
it is not necessary to report those bits from the driver. Also, if no status
function is provided by the driver, the watchdog core reports the status bits
provided in the bootstatus variable of struct watchdog_device.
+
* set_timeout: this routine checks and changes the timeout of the watchdog
timer device. It returns 0 on success, -EINVAL for "parameter out of range"
and -EIO for "could not write value to the watchdog". On success this
routine should set the timeout value of the watchdog_device to the
achieved timeout value (which may be different from the requested one
because the watchdog does not necessarily have a 1 second resolution).
+
Drivers implementing max_hw_heartbeat_ms set the hardware watchdog heartbeat
to the minimum of timeout and max_hw_heartbeat_ms. Those drivers set the
timeout value of the watchdog_device either to the requested timeout value
(if it is larger than max_hw_heartbeat_ms), or to the achieved timeout value.
(Note: the WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT needs to be set in the options field of the
watchdog's info structure).
+
If the watchdog driver does not have to perform any action but setting the
watchdog_device.timeout, this callback can be omitted.
+
If set_timeout is not provided but, WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT is set, the watchdog
infrastructure updates the timeout value of the watchdog_device internally
to the requested value.
+
If the pretimeout feature is used (WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT), then set_timeout must
also take care of checking if pretimeout is still valid and set up the timer
accordingly. This can't be done in the core without races, so it is the
