without even a cursory glance to see if they are sane.
2.6.x -mm kernel patches
------------------------
These are experimental kernel patches released by Andrew Morton. Andrew
takes all of the different subsystem kernel trees and patches and mushes
them together, along with a lot of patches that have been plucked from
the linux-kernel mailing list. This tree serves as a proving ground for
new features and patches. Once a patch has proved its worth in -mm for
a while Andrew or the subsystem maintainer pushes it on to Linus for
inclusion in mainline.
It is heavily encouraged that all new patches get tested in the -mm tree
before they are sent to Linus for inclusion in the main kernel tree. Code
which does not make an appearance in -mm before the opening of the merge
window will prove hard to merge into the mainline.
These kernels are not appropriate for use on systems that are supposed
to be stable and they are more risky to run than any of the other
branches.
If you wish to help out with the kernel development process, please test
and use these kernel releases and provide feedback to the linux-kernel
mailing list if you have any problems, and if everything works properly.
In addition to all the other experimental patches, these kernels usually
also contain any changes in the mainline -git kernels available at the
time of release.
The -mm kernels are not released on a fixed schedule, but usually a few
-mm kernels are released in between each -rc kernel (1 to 3 is common).
Subsystem Specific kernel trees and patches
-------------------------------------------
A number of the different kernel subsystem developers expose their
development trees so that others can see what is happening in the
different areas of the kernel. These trees are pulled into the -mm
kernel releases as described above.
The maintainers of the various kernel subsystems --- and also many
kernel subsystem developers --- expose their current state of
development in source repositories. That way, others can see what is
happening in the different areas of the kernel. In areas where
development is rapid, a developer may be asked to base his submissions
onto such a subsystem kernel tree so that conflicts between the
submission and other already ongoing work are avoided.
Here is a list of some of the different kernel trees available:
git trees:
- Kbuild development tree, Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/kbuild.git
Most of these repositories are git trees, but there are also other SCMs
in use, or patch queues being published as quilt series. Addresses of
these subsystem repositories are listed in the MAINTAINERS file. Many
of them can be browsed at http://git.kernel.org/.
- ACPI development tree, Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-acpi-2.6.git
Before a proposed patch is committed to such a subsystem tree, it is
subject to review which primarily happens on mailing lists (see the
respective section below). For several kernel subsystems, this review
process is tracked with the tool patchwork. Patchwork offers a web
interface which shows patch postings, any comments on a patch or
revisions to it, and maintainers can mark patches as under review,
accepted, or rejected. Most of these patchwork sites are listed at
http://patchwork.kernel.org/ or http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/.
- Block development tree, Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux-2.6-block.git
2.6.x -next kernel tree for integration tests
---------------------------------------------
Before updates from subsystem trees are merged into the mainline 2.6.x
tree, they need to be integration-tested. For this purpose, a special
testing repository exists into which virtually all subsystem trees are
pulled on an almost daily basis:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git

- DRM development tree, Dave Airlie <airlied@linux.ie>
git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git
This way, the -next kernel gives a summary outlook onto what will be
expected to go into the mainline kernel at the next merge period.

various issues with detecting idle CPU and using extra power. To
avoid this, the kipmid_max_busy_us sets the maximum amount of time, in
microseconds, that kipmid will spin before sleeping for a tick. This

PCI-X specification requires PCI-X devices to support 64-bit
addressing (DAC) for all transactions. And at least one platform (SGI
SN2) requires 64-bit consistent allocations to operate correctly when
the IO bus is in PCI-X mode. Therefore, like with pci_set_dma_mask(),
it's good practice to call pci_set_consistent_dma_mask() to set the

Samsung ARM Linux Overview
==========================
Introduction
------------
The Samsung range of ARM SoCs spans many similar devices, from the initial
ARM9 through to the newest ARM cores. This document shows an overview of
the current kernel support, how to use it and where to find the code
that supports this.
The currently supported SoCs are:
- S3C24XX: See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for full list
- S3C64XX: S3C6400 and S3C6410
- S5PC6440
S5PC100 and S5PC110 support is currently being merged
S3C24XX Systems
---------------
There is still documentation in Documnetation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/ which
deals with the architecture and drivers specific to these devices.
See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for more information
on the implementation details and specific support.
Configuration
-------------
A number of configurations are supplied, as there is no current way of
unifying all the SoCs into one kernel.
s5p6440_defconfig - S5P6440 specific default configuration
s5pc100_defconfig - S5PC100 specific default configuration
Layout
------
The directory layout is currently being restructured, and consists of
several platform directories and then the machine specific directories
of the CPUs being built for.
plat-samsung provides the base for all the implementations, and is the
last in the line of include directories that are processed for the build
specific information. It contains the base clock, GPIO and device definitions
to get the system running.
plat-s3c is the s3c24xx/s3c64xx platform directory, although it is currently
involved in other builds this will be phased out once the relevant code is
moved elsewhere.
plat-s3c24xx is for s3c24xx specific builds, see the S3C24XX docs.
plat-s3c64xx is for the s3c64xx specific bits, see the S3C24XX docs.
plat-s5p is for s5p specific builds, more to be added.

4. Compilation options
----------------------
There are a few additional options which can be set when compiling the
driver. Most people should not need to mess with any of these; they
are listed here simply for completeness. A compilation option can be
enabled by adding a line of the form `#define <option> 1' to the top
of ide-cd.c. All these options are disabled by default.
VERBOSE_IDE_CD_ERRORS
If this is set, ATAPI error codes will be translated into textual
descriptions. In addition, a dump is made of the command which
provoked the error. This is off by default to save the memory used
by the (somewhat long) table of error descriptions.
STANDARD_ATAPI
If this is set, the code needed to deal with certain drives which do
not properly implement the ATAPI spec will be disabled. If you know
your drive implements ATAPI properly, you can turn this on to get a
slightly smaller kernel.
NO_DOOR_LOCKING
If this is set, the driver will never attempt to lock the door of
the drive.
CDROM_NBLOCKS_BUFFER
This sets the size of the buffer to be used for a CDROMREADAUDIO
ioctl. The default is 8.
TEST
This currently enables an additional ioctl which enables a user-mode
program to execute an arbitrary packet command. See the source for
details. This should be left off unless you know what you're doing.

There is mechanism which allows to get notifications about changing

To register new notification handler you need:
- create a file descriptor for event notification using eventfd(2);
- open a control file to be monitored (e.g. memory.usage_in_bytes);
- write "<event_fd> <control_fd> <args>" to cgroup.event_control.
Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation;
eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the

1. Introduction:
----------------
Processor Clocking Control (PCC) is an interface between the platform
firmware and OSPM. It is a mechanism for coordinating processor
performance (ie: frequency) between the platform firmware and the OS.
The PCC driver (pcc-cpufreq) allows OSPM to take advantage of the PCC
interface.
OS utilizes the PCC interface to inform platform firmware what frequency the
OS wants for a logical processor. The platform firmware attempts to achieve
the requested frequency. If the request for the target frequency could not be
satisfied by platform firmware, then it usually means that power budget
conditions are in place, and "power capping" is taking place.
1.1 PCC interface:
------------------
The complete PCC specification is available here:
http://www.acpica.org/download/Processor-Clocking-Control-v1p0.pdf
PCC relies on a shared memory region that provides a channel for communication
between the OS and platform firmware. PCC also implements a "doorbell" that
is used by the OS to inform the platform firmware that a command has been
sent.
The ACPI PCCH() method is used to discover the location of the PCC shared
memory region. The shared memory region header contains the "command" and
"status" interface. PCCH() also contains details on how to access the platform
doorbell.
The following commands are supported by the PCC interface:
* Get Average Frequency
* Set Desired Frequency
The ACPI PCCP() method is implemented for each logical processor and is
used to discover the offsets for the input and output buffers in the shared
memory region.
When PCC mode is enabled, the platform will not expose processor performance
or throttle states (_PSS, _TSS and related ACPI objects) to OSPM. Therefore,
the native P-state driver (such as acpi-cpufreq for Intel, powernow-k8 for
AMD) will not load.
However, OSPM remains in control of policy. The governor (eg: "ondemand")
computes the required performance for each processor based on server workload.
The PCC driver fills in the command interface, and the input buffer and
communicates the request to the platform firmware. The platform firmware is
responsible for delivering the requested performance.
Each PCC command is "global" in scope and can affect all the logical CPUs in
the system. Therefore, PCC is capable of performing "group" updates. With PCC
the OS is capable of getting/setting the frequency of all the logical CPUs in
the system with a single call to the BIOS.
1.1.1 Get Average Frequency:
----------------------------
This command is used by the OSPM to query the running frequency of the
processor since the last time this command was completed. The output buffer
indicates the average unhalted frequency of the logical processor expressed as
a percentage of the nominal (ie: maximum) CPU frequency. The output buffer
also signifies if the CPU frequency is limited by a power budget condition.
1.1.2 Set Desired Frequency:
----------------------------
This command is used by the OSPM to communicate to the platform firmware the
desired frequency for a logical processor. The output buffer is currently
ignored by OSPM. The next invocation of "Get Average Frequency" will inform
OSPM if the desired frequency was achieved or not.
1.2 Platforms affected:
-----------------------
The PCC driver will load on any system where the platform firmware:
* supports the PCC interface, and the associated PCCH() and PCCP() methods
* assumes responsibility for managing the hardware clocking controls in order
to deliver the requested processor performance
Currently, certain HP ProLiant platforms implement the PCC interface. On those
platforms PCC is the "default" choice.
However, it is possible to disable this interface via a BIOS setting. In
such an instance, as is also the case on platforms where the PCC interface
is not implemented, the PCC driver will fail to load silently.
2. Driver and /sys details:
---------------------------
When the driver loads, it merely prints the lowest and the highest CPU
frequencies supported by the platform firmware.
The PCC driver loads with a message such as:
pcc-cpufreq: (v1.00.00) driver loaded with frequency limits: 1600 MHz, 2933
MHz
This means that the OPSM can request the CPU to run at any frequency in
between the limits (1600 MHz, and 2933 MHz) specified in the message.
Internally, there is no need for the driver to convert the "target" frequency
to a corresponding P-state.
The VERSION number for the driver will be of the format v.xy.ab.
eg: 1.00.02
----- --
| |
| -- this will increase with bug fixes/enhancements to the driver
|-- this is the version of the PCC specification the driver adheres to
The following is a brief discussion on some of the fields exported via the
/sys filesystem and how their values are affected by the PCC driver:
2.1 scaling_available_frequencies:
----------------------------------
scaling_available_frequencies is not created in /sys. No intermediate
frequencies need to be listed because the BIOS will try to achieve any
frequency, within limits, requested by the governor. A frequency does not have
to be strictly associated with a P-state.
2.2 cpuinfo_transition_latency:
-------------------------------
The cpuinfo_transition_latency field is 0. The PCC specification does
not include a field to expose this value currently.
2.3 cpuinfo_cur_freq:
---------------------
A) Often cpuinfo_cur_freq will show a value different than what is declared
in the scaling_available_frequencies or scaling_cur_freq, or scaling_max_freq.
This is due to "turbo boost" available on recent Intel processors. If certain
conditions are met the BIOS can achieve a slightly higher speed than requested
by OSPM. An example:
scaling_cur_freq : 2933000
cpuinfo_cur_freq : 3196000
B) There is a round-off error associated with the cpuinfo_cur_freq value.
Since the driver obtains the current frequency as a "percentage" (%) of the
nominal frequency from the BIOS, sometimes, the values displayed by
scaling_cur_freq and cpuinfo_cur_freq may not match. An example:
scaling_cur_freq : 1600000
cpuinfo_cur_freq : 1583000
In this example, the nominal frequency is 2933 MHz. The driver obtains the
current frequency, cpuinfo_cur_freq, as 54% of the nominal frequency:
54% of 2933 MHz = 1583 MHz
Nominal frequency is the maximum frequency of the processor, and it usually
corresponds to the frequency of the P0 P-state.
2.4 related_cpus:
-----------------
The related_cpus field is identical to affected_cpus.
affected_cpus : 4
related_cpus : 4
Currently, the PCC driver does not evaluate _PSD. The platforms that support
PCC do not implement SW_ALL. So OSPM doesn't need to perform any coordination
to ensure that the same frequency is requested of all dependent CPUs.
3. Caveats:
-----------
The "cpufreq_stats" module in its present form cannot be loaded and
expected to work with the PCC driver. Since the "cpufreq_stats" module
provides information wrt each P-state, it is not applicable to the PCC driver.

Both <sectors_allocated> and <total_sectors> include both data and metadata.
During merging, the number of sectors allocated gets smaller and

The first problem is that Gmail converts tabs to spaces. This will

convert those to spaces upon sending!

you reply to a patch, don't expect to be able to apply it as a patch.
At the same time it wraps lines every 78 chars with CRLF style line breaks

The lkdtm module provides an interface to crash or injure the kernel at
predefined crashpoints to evaluate the reliability of crash dumps obtained
using different dumping solutions. The module uses KPROBEs to instrument
crashing points, but can also crash the kernel directly without KRPOBE
support.
You can provide the way either through module arguments when inserting
the module, or through a debugfs interface.
Usage: insmod lkdtm.ko [recur_count={>0}] cpoint_name=<> cpoint_type=<>
[cpoint_count={>0}]
recur_count : Recursion level for the stack overflow test. Default is 10.
cpoint_name : Crash point where the kernel is to be crashed. It can be
one of INT_HARDWARE_ENTRY, INT_HW_IRQ_EN, INT_TASKLET_ENTRY,
FS_DEVRW, MEM_SWAPOUT, TIMERADD, SCSI_DISPATCH_CMD,
IDE_CORE_CP, DIRECT
cpoint_type : Indicates the action to be taken on hitting the crash point.
It can be one of PANIC, BUG, EXCEPTION, LOOP, OVERFLOW,
CORRUPT_STACK, UNALIGNED_LOAD_STORE_WRITE, OVERWRITE_ALLOCATION,
WRITE_AFTER_FREE,
cpoint_count : Indicates the number of times the crash point is to be hit
to trigger an action. The default is 10.
You can also induce failures by mounting debugfs and writing the type to
<mountpoint>/provoke-crash/<crashpoint>. E.g.,
mount -t debugfs debugfs /mnt
echo EXCEPTION > /mnt/provoke-crash/INT_HARDWARE_ENTRY
A special file is `DIRECT' which will induce the crash directly without
KPROBE instrumentation. This mode is the only one available when the module
is built on a kernel without KPROBEs support.

The LogFS Flash Filesystem
==========================
Specification
=============
Superblocks
-----------
Two superblocks exist at the beginning and end of the filesystem.
Each superblock is 256 Bytes large, with another 3840 Bytes reserved
for future purposes, making a total of 4096 Bytes.
Superblock locations may differ for MTD and block devices. On MTD the
first non-bad block contains a superblock in the first 4096 Bytes and
the last non-bad block contains a superblock in the last 4096 Bytes.
On block devices, the first 4096 Bytes of the device contain the first
superblock and the last aligned 4096 Byte-block contains the second
superblock.
For the most part, the superblocks can be considered read-only. They
are written only to correct errors detected within the superblocks,
move the journal and change the filesystem parameters through tunefs.
As a result, the superblock does not contain any fields that require
constant updates, like the amount of free space, etc.
Segments
--------
The space in the device is split up into equal-sized segments.
Segments are the primary write unit of LogFS. Within each segments,
writes happen from front (low addresses) to back (high addresses. If
only a partial segment has been written, the segment number, the
current position within and optionally a write buffer are stored in
the journal.
Segments are erased as a whole. Therefore Garbage Collection may be
required to completely free a segment before doing so.
Journal
--------
The journal contains all global information about the filesystem that
is subject to frequent change. At mount time, it has to be scanned
for the most recent commit entry, which contains a list of pointers to
all currently valid entries.
Object Store
------------
All space except for the superblocks and journal is part of the object
store. Each segment contains a segment header and a number of
objects, each consisting of the object header and the payload.
Objects are either inodes, directory entries (dentries), file data
blocks or indirect blocks.
Levels
------
Garbage collection (GC) may fail if all data is written
indiscriminately. One requirement of GC is that data is seperated
roughly according to the distance between the tree root and the data.
Effectively that means all file data is on level 0, indirect blocks
are on levels 1, 2, 3 4 or 5 for 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x indirect blocks,
respectively. Inode file data is on level 6 for the inodes and 7-11
for indirect blocks.
Each segment contains objects of a single level only. As a result,
each level requires its own seperate segment to be open for writing.
Inode File
----------
All inodes are stored in a special file, the inode file. Single
exception is the inode file's inode (master inode) which for obvious
reasons is stored in the journal instead. Instead of data blocks, the
leaf nodes of the inode files are inodes.
Aliases
-------
Writes in LogFS are done by means of a wandering tree. A naïve
implementation would require that for each write or a block, all
parent blocks are written as well, since the block pointers have
changed. Such an implementation would not be very efficient.
In LogFS, the block pointer changes are cached in the journal by means
of alias entries. Each alias consists of its logical address - inode
number, block index, level and child number (index into block) - and
the changed data. Any 8-byte word can be changes in this manner.
Currently aliases are used for block pointers, file size, file used
bytes and the height of an inodes indirect tree.
Segment Aliases
---------------
Related to regular aliases, these are used to handle bad blocks.
Initially, bad blocks are handled by moving the affected segment
content to a spare segment and noting this move in the journal with a
segment alias, a simple (to, from) tupel. GC will later empty this
segment and the alias can be removed again. This is used on MTD only.
Vim
---
By cleverly predicting the life time of data, it is possible to
seperate long-living data from short-living data and thereby reduce
the GC overhead later. Each type of distinc life expectency (vim) can
have a seperate segment open for writing. Each (level, vim) tupel can
be open just once. If an open segment with unknown vim is encountered
at mount time, it is closed and ignored henceforth.
Indirect Tree
-------------
Inodes in LogFS are similar to FFS-style filesystems with direct and
indirect block pointers. One difference is that LogFS uses a single
indirect pointer that can be either a 1x, 2x, etc. indirect pointer.
A height field in the inode defines the height of the indirect tree
and thereby the indirection of the pointer.
Another difference is the addressing of indirect blocks. In LogFS,
the first 16 pointers in the first indirect block are left empty,
corresponding to the 16 direct pointers in the inode. In ext2 (maybe
others as well) the first pointer in the first indirect block
corresponds to logical block 12, skipping the 12 direct pointers.
So where ext2 is using arithmetic to better utilize space, LogFS keeps
arithmetic simple and uses compression to save space.
Compression
-----------
Both file data and metadata can be compressed. Compression for file
data can be enabled with chattr +c and disabled with chattr -c. Doing
so has no effect on existing data, but new data will be stored
accordingly. New inodes will inherit the compression flag of the
parent directory.
Metadata is always compressed. However, the space accounting ignores
this and charges for the uncompressed size. Failing to do so could
result in GC failures when, after moving some data, indirect blocks
compress worse than previously. Even on a 100% full medium, GC may
not consume any extra space, so the compression gains are lost space
to the user.
However, they are not lost space to the filesystem internals. By
cheating the user for those bytes, the filesystem gained some slack
space and GC will run less often and faster.
Garbage Collection and Wear Leveling
------------------------------------
Garbage collection is invoked whenever the number of free segments
falls below a threshold. The best (known) candidate is picked based
on the least amount of valid data contained in the segment. All
remaining valid data is copied elsewhere, thereby invalidating it.
The GC code also checks for aliases and writes then back if their
number gets too large.
Wear leveling is done by occasionally picking a suboptimal segment for
garbage collection. If a stale segments erase count is significantly
lower than the active segments' erase counts, it will be picked. Wear
leveling is rate limited, so it will never monopolize the device for
more than one segment worth at a time.
Values for "occasionally", "significantly lower" are compile time
constants.
Hashed directories
------------------
To satisfy efficient lookup(), directory entries are hashed and
located based on the hash. In order to both support large directories
and not be overly inefficient for small directories, several hash
tables of increasing size are used. For each table, the hash value
modulo the table size gives the table index.
Tables sizes are chosen to limit the number of indirect blocks with a
fully populated table to 0, 1, 2 or 3 respectively. So the first
table contains 16 entries, the second 512-16, etc.
The last table is special in several ways. First its size depends on
the effective 32bit limit on telldir/seekdir cookies. Since logfs
uses the upper half of the address space for indirect blocks, the size
is limited to 2^31. Secondly the table contains hash buckets with 16
entries each.
Using single-entry buckets would result in birthday "attacks". At
just 2^16 used entries, hash collisions would be likely (P >= 0.5).
My math skills are insufficient to do the combinatorics for the 17x
collisions necessary to overflow a bucket, but testing showed that in
10,000 runs the lowest directory fill before a bucket overflow was
188,057,130 entries with an average of 315,149,915 entries. So for
directory sizes of up to a million, bucket overflows should be
virtually impossible under normal circumstances.
With carefully chosen filenames, it is obviously possible to cause an
overflow with just 21 entries (4 higher tables + 16 entries + 1). So
there may be a security concern if a malicious user has write access
to a directory.
Open For Discussion
===================
Device Address Space
--------------------
A device address space is used for caching. Both block devices and
MTD provide functions to either read a single page or write a segment.
Partial segments may be written for data integrity, but where possible
complete segments are written for performance on simple block device
flash media.
Meta Inodes
-----------
Inodes are stored in the inode file, which is just a regular file for
most purposes. At umount time, however, the inode file needs to
remain open until all dirty inodes are written. So
generic_shutdown_super() may not close this inode, but shouldn't
complain about remaining inodes due to the inode file either. Same
goes for mapping inode of the device address space.
Currently logfs uses a hack that essentially copies part of fs/inode.c
code over. A general solution would be preferred.
Indirect block mapping
----------------------
With compression, the block device (or mapping inode) cannot be used
to cache indirect blocks. Some other place is required. Currently
logfs uses the top half of each inode's address space. The low 8TB
(on 32bit) are filled with file data, the high 8TB are used for
indirect blocks.
One problem is that 16TB files created on 64bit systems actually have
data in the top 8TB. But files >16TB would cause problems anyway, so
only the limit has changed.

Fragmentation avoidance in the kernel works by grouping pages of different
migrate types into the same contiguous regions of memory called page blocks.
A page block is typically the size of the default hugepage size e.g. 2MB on
X86-64. By keeping pages grouped based on their ability to move, the kernel
can reclaim pages within a page block to satisfy a high-order allocation.
The pagetypinfo begins with information on the size of a page block. It
then gives the same type of information as buddyinfo except broken down
by migrate-type and finishes with details on how many page blocks of each

from libhugetlbfs http://sourceforge.net/projects/libhugetlbfs/), one can
make an estimate of the likely number of huge pages that can be allocated
at a given point in time. All the "Movable" blocks should be allocatable
unless memory has been mlock()'d. Some of the Reclaimable blocks should
also be allocatable although a lot of filesystem metadata may have to be
reclaimed to achieve this.

* GPIOF_DIR_OUT - to configure direction as output
* GPIOF_INIT_LOW - as output, set initial level to LOW
* GPIOF_INIT_HIGH - as output, set initial level to HIGH
since GPIOF_INIT_* are only valid when configured as output, so group valid
combinations as:
* GPIOF_IN - configure as input

In the future, these flags can be extended to support more properties such

introduced to encapsulate all three fields as:

This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7411 chip. There may
be other chips that implement this interface.
The ADT7411 can use an I2C/SMBus compatible 2-wire interface or an
SPI-compatible 4-wire interface. It provides a 10-bit analog to digital
converter which measures 1 temperature, vdd and 8 input voltages. It has an
internal temperature sensor, but an external one can also be connected (one
loses 2 inputs then). There are high- and low-limit registers for all inputs.
Check the datasheet for details.

Supported chips:
* Analog Devices ADT7473
Prefix: 'adt7473'
Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2C, 0x2D, 0x2E
Datasheet: Publicly available at the Analog Devices website
Author: Darrick J. Wong
This driver is depreacted, please use the adt7475 driver instead.
Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7473 chip family.
The ADT7473 uses the 2-wire interface compatible with the SMBUS 2.0
specification. Using an analog to digital converter it measures three (3)
temperatures and two (2) voltages. It has four (4) 16-bit counters for
measuring fan speed. There are three (3) PWM outputs that can be used
to control fan speed.
A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the
ADT7473 that allows fan speed to be adjusted automatically based on any of the
three temperature sensors. Each PWM output is individually adjustable and
programmable. Once configured, the ADT7473 will adjust the PWM outputs in
response to the measured temperatures without further host intervention.
This feature can also be disabled for manual control of the PWM's.
Each of the measured inputs (voltage, temperature, fan speed) has
corresponding high/low limit values. The ADT7473 will signal an ALARM if
any measured value exceeds either limit.
The ADT7473 samples all inputs continuously. The driver will not read
the registers more often than once every other second. Further,
configuration data is only read once per minute.
Special Features
----------------
The ADT7473 have a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure temperatures
with 0.25 degC resolution. Temperature readings can be configured either
for twos complement format or "Offset 64" format, wherein 63 is subtracted
from the raw value to get the temperature value.
The Analog Devices datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for
determining an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control.
Configuration Notes
-------------------
Besides standard interfaces driver adds the following:
* PWM Control
* pwm#_auto_point1_pwm and temp#_auto_point1_temp and
* pwm#_auto_point2_pwm and temp#_auto_point2_temp -
point1: Set the pwm speed at a lower temperature bound.
point2: Set the pwm speed at a higher temperature bound.
The ADT7473 will scale the pwm between the lower and higher pwm speed when
the temperature is between the two temperature boundaries. PWM values range
from 0 (off) to 255 (full speed). Fan speed will be set to maximum when the
temperature sensor associated with the PWM control exceeds temp#_max.
Notes
-----
The NVIDIA binary driver presents an ADT7473 chip via an on-card i2c bus.
Unfortunately, they fail to set the i2c adapter class, so this driver may
fail to find the chip until the nvidia driver is patched.

Kernel driver asc7621
==================
Supported chips:
Andigilog aSC7621 and aSC7621a
Prefix: 'asc7621'
Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2c, 0x2d, 0x2e
Datasheet: http://www.fairview5.com/linux/asc7621/asc7621.pdf
Author:
George Joseph
Description provided by Dave Pivin @ Andigilog:
Andigilog has both the PECI and pre-PECI versions of the Heceta-6, as
Intel calls them. Heceta-6e has high frequency PWM and Heceta-6p has
added PECI and a 4th thermal zone. The Andigilog aSC7611 is the
Heceta-6e part and aSC7621 is the Heceta-6p part. They are both in
volume production, shipping to Intel and their subs.
We have enhanced both parts relative to the governing Intel
specification. First enhancement is temperature reading resolution. We
have used registers below 20h for vendor-specific functions in addition
to those in the Intel-specified vendor range.
Our conversion process produces a result that is reported as two bytes.
The fan speed control uses this finer value to produce a "step-less" fan
PWM output. These two bytes are "read-locked" to guarantee that once a
high or low byte is read, the other byte is locked-in until after the
next read of any register. So to get an atomic reading, read high or low
byte, then the very next read should be the opposite byte. Our data
sheet says 10-bits of resolution, although you may find the lower bits
are active, they are not necessarily reliable or useful externally. We
chose not to mask them.
We employ significant filtering that is user tunable as described in the
data sheet. Our temperature reports and fan PWM outputs are very smooth
when compared to the competition, in addition to the higher resolution
temperature reports. The smoother PWM output does not require user
intervention.
We offer GPIO features on the former VID pins. These are open-drain
outputs or inputs and may be used as general purpose I/O or as alarm
outputs that are based on temperature limits. These are in 19h and 1Ah.
We offer flexible mapping of temperature readings to thermal zones. Any
temperature may be mapped to any zone, which has a default assignment
that follows Intel's specs.
Since there is a fan to zone assignment that allows for the "hotter" of
a set of zones to control the PWM of an individual fan, but there is no
indication to the user, we have added an indicator that shows which zone
is currently controlling the PWM for a given fan. This is in register
00h.
Both remote diode temperature readings may be given an offset value such
that the reported reading as well as the temperature used to determine
PWM may be offset for system calibration purposes.
PECI Extended configuration allows for having more than two domains per
PECI address and also provides an enabling function for each PECI
address. One could use our flexible zone assignment to have a zone
assigned to up to 4 PECI addresses. This is not possible in the default
Intel configuration. This would be useful in multi-CPU systems with
individual fans on each that would benefit from individual fan control.
This is in register 0Eh.
The tachometer measurement system is flexible and able to adapt to many
fan types. We can also support pulse-stretched PWM so that 3-wire fans
may be used. These characteristics are in registers 04h to 07h.
Finally, we have added a tach disable function that turns off the tach
measurement system for individual tachs in order to save power. That is
in register 75h.

aSC7621 Product Description
The aSC7621 has a two wire digital interface compatible with SMBus 2.0.
Using a 10-bit ADC, the aSC7621 measures the temperature of two remote diode
connected transistors as well as its own die. Support for Platform
Environmental Control Interface (PECI) is included.
Using temperature information from these four zones, an automatic fan speed
control algorithm is employed to minimize acoustic impact while achieving
recommended CPU temperature under varying operational loads.
To set fan speed, the aSC7621 has three independent pulse width modulation
(PWM) outputs that are controlled by one, or a combination of three,
temperature zones. Both high- and low-frequency PWM ranges are supported.
The aSC7621 also includes a digital filter that can be invoked to smooth
temperature readings for better control of fan speed and minimum acoustic
impact.
The aSC7621 has tachometer inputs to measure fan speed on up to four fans.
Limit and status registers for all measured values are included to alert
the system host that any measurements are outside of programmed limits
via status registers.
System voltages of VCCP, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5.0V, and 12V motherboard power are
monitored efficiently with internal scaling resistors.

"Smart Guardian" mode control handling is only implemented for older chips
(see below.) However if you want to go for "manual mode" just write 1 to
pwmN_enable.
If you are only able to control the fan speed with very small PWM values,
try lowering the PWM base frequency (pwm1_freq). Depending on the fan,
it may give you a somewhat greater control range. The same frequency is
used to drive all fan outputs, which is why pwm2_freq and pwm3_freq are
read-only.
Automatic fan speed control (old interface)
-------------------------------------------
The driver supports the old interface to automatic fan speed control
which is implemented by IT8705F chips up to revision F and IT8712F
chips up to revision G.
This interface implements 4 temperature vs. PWM output trip points.
The PWM output of trip point 4 is always the maximum value (fan running
at full speed) while the PWM output of the other 3 trip points can be
freely chosen. The temperature of all 4 trip points can be freely chosen.
Additionally, trip point 1 has an hysteresis temperature attached, to
prevent fast switching between fan on and off.
The chip automatically computes the PWM output value based on the input
temperature, based on this simple rule: if the temperature value is
between trip point N and trip point N+1 then the PWM output value is
the one of trip point N. The automatic control mode is less flexible
than the manual control mode, but it reacts faster, is more robust and
doesn't use CPU cycles.
Trip points must be set properly before switching to automatic fan speed
control mode. The driver will perform basic integrity checks before
actually switching to automatic control mode.

This driver has basic support for SMBus alert. When an alert is received,
the status register is read and the faulty temperature channel is logged.
The Analog Devices chips (ADM1032 and ADT7461) do not implement the SMBus
alert protocol properly so additional care is needed: the ALERT output is
disabled when an alert is received, and is re-enabled only when the alarm
is gone. Otherwise the chip would block alerts from other chips in the bus
as long as the alarm is active.

OK, so you've got this pretty unintuitive message (currently located
in init/main.c) and are wondering what the H*** went wrong.
Some high-level reasons for failure (listed roughly in order of execution)
to load the init binary are:
A) Unable to mount root FS
B) init binary doesn't exist on rootfs
C) broken console device
D) binary exists but dependencies not available
E) binary cannot be loaded
Detailed explanations:
0) Set "debug" kernel parameter (in bootloader config file or CONFIG_CMDLINE)
to get more detailed kernel messages.
A) make sure you have the correct root FS type
(and root= kernel parameter points to the correct partition),
required drivers such as storage hardware (such as SCSI or USB!)
and filesystem (ext3, jffs2 etc.) are builtin (alternatively as modules,
to be pre-loaded by an initrd)
C) Possibly a conflict in console= setup --> initial console unavailable.
E.g. some serial consoles are unreliable due to serial IRQ issues (e.g.
missing interrupt-based configuration).
Try using a different console= device or e.g. netconsole= .
D) e.g. required library dependencies of the init binary such as
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 missing or broken. Use readelf -d <INIT>|grep NEEDED
to find out which libraries are required.
E) make sure the binary's architecture matches your hardware.
E.g. i386 vs. x86_64 mismatch, or trying to load x86 on ARM hardware.
In case you tried loading a non-binary file here (shell script?),
you should make sure that the script specifies an interpreter in its shebang
header line (#!/...) that is fully working (including its library
dependencies). And before tackling scripts, better first test a simple
non-script binary such as /bin/sh and confirm its successful execution.
To find out more, add code to init/main.c to display kernel_execve()s
return values.
Please extend this explanation whenever you find new failure causes
(after all loading the init binary is a CRITICAL and hard transition step
which needs to be made as painless as possible), then submit patch to LKML.
Further TODOs:
- Implement the various run_init_process() invocations via a struct array
which can then store the kernel_execve() result value and on failure
log it all by iterating over _all_ results (very important usability fix).
- try to make the implementation itself more helpful in general,
e.g. by providing additional error messages at affected places.

1.4 How Does Jump Optimization Work?
If you configured your kernel with CONFIG_OPTPROBES=y (currently
this option is supported on x86/x86-64, non-preemptive kernel) and
the "debug.kprobes_optimization" kernel parameter is set to 1 (see
sysctl(8)), Kprobes tries to reduce probe-hit overhead by using a jump
instruction instead of a breakpoint instruction at each probepoint.
1.4.1 Init a Kprobe
When a probe is registered, before attempting this optimization,
Kprobes inserts an ordinary, breakpoint-based kprobe at the specified
address. So, even if it's not possible to optimize this particular
probepoint, there'll be a probe there.
1.4.2 Safety Check
Before optimizing a probe, Kprobes performs the following safety checks:
- Kprobes verifies that the region that will be replaced by the jump
instruction (the "optimized region") lies entirely within one function.
(A jump instruction is multiple bytes, and so may overlay multiple
instructions.)
- Kprobes analyzes the entire function and verifies that there is no
jump into the optimized region. Specifically:
- the function contains no indirect jump;
- the function contains no instruction that causes an exception (since
the fixup code triggered by the exception could jump back into the
optimized region -- Kprobes checks the exception tables to verify this);
and
- there is no near jump to the optimized region (other than to the first
byte).
- For each instruction in the optimized region, Kprobes verifies that
the instruction can be executed out of line.
1.4.3 Preparing Detour Buffer
Next, Kprobes prepares a "detour" buffer, which contains the following
instruction sequence:
- code to push the CPU's registers (emulating a breakpoint trap)
- a call to the trampoline code which calls user's probe handlers.
- code to restore registers
- the instructions from the optimized region
- a jump back to the original execution path.
1.4.4 Pre-optimization
After preparing the detour buffer, Kprobes verifies that none of the
following situations exist:
- The probe has either a break_handler (i.e., it's a jprobe) or a
post_handler.
- Other instructions in the optimized region are probed.
- The probe is disabled.
In any of the above cases, Kprobes won't start optimizing the probe.
Since these are temporary situations, Kprobes tries to start
optimizing it again if the situation is changed.
If the kprobe can be optimized, Kprobes enqueues the kprobe to an
optimizing list, and kicks the kprobe-optimizer workqueue to optimize
it. If the to-be-optimized probepoint is hit before being optimized,
Kprobes returns control to the original instruction path by setting
the CPU's instruction pointer to the copied code in the detour buffer
-- thus at least avoiding the single-step.
1.4.5 Optimization
The Kprobe-optimizer doesn't insert the jump instruction immediately;
rather, it calls synchronize_sched() for safety first, because it's
possible for a CPU to be interrupted in the middle of executing the
optimized region(*). As you know, synchronize_sched() can ensure
that all interruptions that were active when synchronize_sched()
was called are done, but only if CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. So, this version
of kprobe optimization supports only kernels with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n.(**)
After that, the Kprobe-optimizer calls stop_machine() to replace
the optimized region with a jump instruction to the detour buffer,
using text_poke_smp().
1.4.6 Unoptimization
When an optimized kprobe is unregistered, disabled, or blocked by
another kprobe, it will be unoptimized. If this happens before
the optimization is complete, the kprobe is just dequeued from the
optimized list. If the optimization has been done, the jump is
replaced with the original code (except for an int3 breakpoint in
the first byte) by using text_poke_smp().
(*)Please imagine that the 2nd instruction is interrupted and then
the optimizer replaces the 2nd instruction with the jump *address*
while the interrupt handler is running. When the interrupt
returns to original address, there is no valid instruction,
and it causes an unexpected result.
(**)This optimization-safety checking may be replaced with the
stop-machine method that ksplice uses for supporting a CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
kernel.
NOTE for geeks:
The jump optimization changes the kprobe's pre_handler behavior.
Without optimization, the pre_handler can change the kernel's execution
path by changing regs->ip and returning 1. However, when the probe
is optimized, that modification is ignored. Thus, if you want to
tweak the kernel's execution path, you need to suppress optimization,
using one of the following techniques:
- Specify an empty function for the kprobe's post_handler or break_handler.
or
- Config CONFIG_OPTPROBES=n.
or
- Execute 'sysctl -w debug.kprobes_optimization=n'
2. Architectures Supported
Kprobes, jprobes, and return probes are implemented on the following
architectures:

- x86_64 (AMD-64, EM64T) (Supports jump optimization)

On x86/x86-64, since the Jump Optimization of Kprobes modifies
instructions widely, there are some limitations to optimization. To
explain it, we introduce some terminology. Imagine a 3-instruction
sequence consisting of a two 2-byte instructions and one 3-byte
instruction.

DCR: Detoured Code Region
The instructions in DCR are copied to the out-of-line buffer
of the kprobe, because the bytes in DCR are replaced by
a 5-byte jump instruction. So there are several limitations.
a) The instructions in DCR must be relocatable.
b) The instructions in DCR must not include a call instruction.
c) JTPR must not be targeted by any jump or call instruction.
d) DCR must not straddle the border betweeen functions.
Anyway, these limitations are checked by the in-kernel instruction
decoder, so you don't need to worry about that.

finished, so the PM core uses pm_runtime_idle_sync() to invoke the
subsystem-level idle callback for the device at that time.
The user space can effectively disallow the driver of the device to power manage
it at run time by changing the value of its /sys/devices/.../power/control
attribute to "on", which causes pm_runtime_forbid() to be called. In principle,
this mechanism may also be used by the driver to effectively turn off the
run-time power management of the device until the user space turns it on.
Namely, during the initialization the driver can make sure that the run-time PM
status of the device is 'active' and call pm_runtime_forbid(). It should be
noted, however, that if the user space has already intentionally changed the
value of /sys/devices/.../power/control to "auto" to allow the driver to power
manage the device at run time, the driver may confuse it by using
pm_runtime_forbid() this way.

7. Generic subsystem callbacks
Subsystems may wish to conserve code space by using the set of generic power
management callbacks provided by the PM core, defined in
driver/base/power/generic_ops.c:
int pm_generic_runtime_idle(struct device *dev);
- invoke the ->runtime_idle() callback provided by the driver of this
device, if defined, and call pm_runtime_suspend() for this device if the

device and return its result, or return -EINVAL if not defined
int pm_generic_runtime_resume(struct device *dev);
- invoke the ->runtime_resume() callback provided by the driver of this
device and return its result, or return -EINVAL if not defined
int pm_generic_suspend(struct device *dev);
- if the device has not been suspended at run time, invoke the ->suspend()
callback provided by its driver and return its result, or return 0 if not
defined
int pm_generic_resume(struct device *dev);
- invoke the ->resume() callback provided by the driver of this device and,
if successful, change the device's runtime PM status to 'active'

callback provided by its driver and return its result, or return 0 if not
defined
int pm_generic_thaw(struct device *dev);
- if the device has not been suspended at run time, invoke the ->thaw()
callback provided by its driver and return its result, or return 0 if not
defined
int pm_generic_poweroff(struct device *dev);
- if the device has not been suspended at run time, invoke the ->poweroff()
callback provided by its driver and return its result, or return 0 if not
defined
int pm_generic_restore(struct device *dev);
- invoke the ->restore() callback provided by the driver of this device and,
if successful, change the device's runtime PM status to 'active'
These functions can be assigned to the ->runtime_idle(), ->runtime_suspend(),
->runtime_resume(), ->suspend(), ->resume(), ->freeze(), ->thaw(), ->poweroff(),
or ->restore() callback pointers in the subsystem-level dev_pm_ops structures.
If a subsystem wishes to use all of them at the same time, it can simply assign
the GENERIC_SUBSYS_PM_OPS macro, defined in include/linux/pm.h, to its
dev_pm_ops structure pointer.
Device drivers that wish to use the same function as a system suspend, freeze,
poweroff and run-time suspend callback, and similarly for system resume, thaw,
restore, and run-time resume, can achieve this with the help of the
UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS macro defined in include/linux/pm.h (possibly setting its
last argument to NULL).

is unbound from its interface. As a corollary, drivers must not call

Other parts of the driver interface
-----------------------------------
Drivers can enable autosuspend for their devices by calling
usb_enable_autosuspend(struct usb_device *udev);

suspending and resuming correctly. This is exactly equivalent to
writing "auto" to the device's power/level attribute. Likewise,
drivers can disable autosuspend by calling
usb_disable_autosuspend(struct usb_device *udev);
This is exactly the same as writing "on" to the power/level attribute.
Sometimes a driver needs to make sure that remote wakeup is enabled
during autosuspend. For example, there's not much point

Normally a driver would set this flag in its probe method, at which

The synchronous usb_autopm_* routines have to run in a sleepable
process context; they must not be called from an interrupt handler or
while holding a spinlock. In fact, the entire autosuspend mechanism
is not well geared toward interrupt-driven operation. However there
is one thing a driver can do in an interrupt handler:
If a driver does its I/O asynchronously in interrupt context, it
should call usb_autopm_get_interface_async() before starting output and
usb_autopm_put_interface_async() when the output queue drains. When
it receives an input event, it should call
usb_mark_last_busy(struct usb_device *udev);
This sets udev->last_busy to the current time. udev->last_busy is the
field used for idle-delay calculations; updating it will cause any
pending autosuspend to be moved back. The usb_autopm_* routines will
also set the last_busy field to the current time.

udev->last_busy is the field used for idle-delay calculations;
updating it will cause any pending autosuspend to be moved back. Most
of the usb_autopm_* routines will also set the last_busy field to the

Calling urb_mark_last_busy() from within an URB completion handler is
subject to races: The kernel may have just finished deciding the
device has been idle for long enough but not yet gotten around to
calling the driver's suspend method. The driver would have to be
responsible for synchronizing its suspend method with its URB
completion handler and causing the autosuspend to fail with -EBUSY if
an URB had completed too recently.
Asynchronous operation is always subject to races. For example, a
driver may call one of the usb_autopm_*_interface_async() routines at
a time when the core has just finished deciding the device has been
idle for long enough but not yet gotten around to calling the driver's
suspend method. The suspend method must be responsible for
synchronizing with the output request routine and the URB completion
handler; it should cause autosuspends to fail with -EBUSY if the
driver needs to use the device.
External suspend calls should never be allowed to fail in this way,
only autosuspend calls. The driver can tell them apart by checking

Many of the ingredients in the autosuspend framework are oriented
towards interfaces: The usb_interface structure contains the
pm_usage_cnt field, and the usb_autopm_* routines take an interface
pointer as their argument. But somewhat confusingly, a few of the
pieces (i.e., usb_mark_last_busy()) use the usb_device structure
instead. Drivers need to keep this straight; they can call
interface_to_usbdev() to find the device structure for a given
interface.
Mutual exclusion
----------------
Locking requirements
--------------------
All three suspend/resume methods are always called while holding the
usb_device's PM mutex. For external events -- but not necessarily for
autosuspend or autoresume -- the device semaphore (udev->dev.sem) will
also be held. This implies that external suspend/resume events are
mutually exclusive with calls to probe, disconnect, pre_reset, and
post_reset; the USB core guarantees that this is true of internal
suspend/resume events as well.
For external events -- but not necessarily for autosuspend or
autoresume -- the device semaphore (udev->dev.sem) will be held when a
suspend or resume method is called. This implies that external
suspend/resume events are mutually exclusive with calls to probe,
disconnect, pre_reset, and post_reset; the USB core guarantees that
this is true of autosuspend/autoresume events as well.
If a driver wants to block all suspend/resume calls during some
critical section, it can simply acquire udev->pm_mutex. Note that
calls to resume may be triggered indirectly. Block IO due to memory
allocations can make the vm subsystem resume a device. Thus while
holding this lock you must not allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL or
GFP_NOFS.
Alternatively, if the critical section might call some of the
usb_autopm_* routines, the driver can avoid deadlock by doing:
down(&udev->dev.sem);
rc = usb_autopm_get_interface(intf);
and at the end of the critical section:
if (!rc)
usb_autopm_put_interface(intf);
up(&udev->dev.sem);
Holding the device semaphore will block all external PM calls, and the
usb_autopm_get_interface() will prevent any internal PM calls, even if
it fails. (Exercise: Why?)
The rules for locking order are:
Never acquire any device semaphore while holding any PM mutex.
Never acquire udev->pm_mutex while holding the PM mutex for
a device that isn't a descendant of udev.
In other words, PM mutexes should only be acquired going up the device
tree, and they should be acquired only after locking all the device
semaphores you need to hold. These rules don't matter to drivers very
much; they usually affect just the USB core.
Still, drivers do need to be careful. For example, many drivers use a
private mutex to synchronize their normal I/O activities with their
disconnect method. Now if the driver supports autosuspend then it
must call usb_autopm_put_interface() from somewhere -- maybe from its
close method. It should make the call while holding the private mutex,
since a driver shouldn't call any of the usb_autopm_* functions for an
interface from which it has been unbound.
But the usb_autpm_* routines always acquire the device's PM mutex, and
consequently the locking order has to be: private mutex first, PM
mutex second. Since the suspend method is always called with the PM
mutex held, it mustn't try to acquire the private mutex. It has to
synchronize with the driver's I/O activities in some other way.
critical section, the best way is to lock the device and call
usb_autopm_get_interface() (and do the reverse at the end of the
critical section). Holding the device semaphore will block all
external PM calls, and the usb_autopm_get_interface() will prevent any
internal PM calls, even if it fails. (Exercise: Why?)
Interaction between dynamic PM and system PM
@ -499,22 +465,11 @@ synchronize with the driver's I/O activities in some other way.
Dynamic power management and system power management can interact in
a couple of ways.
Firstly, a device may already be manually suspended or autosuspended
when a system suspend occurs. Since system suspends are supposed to
be as transparent as possible, the device should remain suspended
following the system resume. The 2.6.23 kernel obeys this principle
for manually suspended devices but not for autosuspended devices; they
do get resumed when the system wakes up. (Presumably they will be
autosuspended again after their idle-delay time expires.) In later
kernels this behavior will be fixed.
(There is an exception. If a device would undergo a reset-resume
instead of a normal resume, and the device is enabled for remote
wakeup, then the reset-resume takes place even if the device was
already suspended when the system suspend began. The justification is
that a reset-resume is a kind of remote-wakeup event. Or to put it
another way, a device which needs a reset won't be able to generate
normal remote-wakeup signals, so it ought to be resumed immediately.)
Firstly, a device may already be autosuspended when a system suspend
occurs. Since system suspends are supposed to be as transparent as
possible, the device should remain suspended following the system
resume. But this theory may not work out well in practice; over time
the kernel's behavior in this regard has changed.
Secondly, a dynamic power-management event may occur as a system
suspend is underway. The window for this is short, since system

Running Linux on the Voyager Architecture
=========================================
For full details and current project status, see
http://www.hansenpartnership.com/voyager
The voyager architecture was designed by NCR in the mid 80s to be a
fully SMP capable RAS computing architecture built around intel's 486
chip set. The voyager came in three levels of architectural
sophistication: 3,4 and 5 --- 1 and 2 never made it out of prototype.
The linux patches support only the Level 5 voyager architecture (any
machine class 3435 and above).
The Voyager Architecture
------------------------
Voyager machines consist of a Baseboard with a 386 diagnostic
processor, a Power Supply Interface (PSI) a Primary and possibly
Secondary Microchannel bus and between 2 and 20 voyager slots. The
voyager slots can be populated with memory and cpu cards (up to 4GB
memory and from 1 486 to 32 Pentium Pro processors). Internally, the
voyager has a dual arbitrated system bus and a configuration and test
bus (CAT). The voyager bus speed is 40MHz. Therefore (since all
voyager cards are dual ported for each system bus) the maximum
transfer rate is 320Mb/s but only if you have your slot configuration
tuned (only memory cards can communicate with both busses at once, CPU
cards utilise them one at a time).
Voyager SMP
-----------
Since voyager was the first intel based SMP system, it is slightly
more primitive than the Intel IO-APIC approach to SMP. Voyager allows
arbitrary interrupt routing (including processor affinity routing) of
all 16 PC type interrupts. However it does this by using a modified
5259 master/slave chip set instead of an APIC bus. Additionally,
voyager supports Cross Processor Interrupts (CPI) equivalent to the
APIC IPIs. There are two routed voyager interrupt lines provided to
each slot.
Processor Cards
---------------
These come in single, dyadic and quad configurations (the quads are
problematic--see later). The maximum configuration is 8 quad cards
for 32 way SMP.
Quad Processors
---------------
Because voyager only supplies two interrupt lines to each Processor
card, the Quad processors have to be configured (and Bootstrapped) in
as a pair of Master/Slave processors.
In fact, most Quad cards only accept one VIC interrupt line, so they
have one interrupt handling processor (called the VIC extended
processor) and three non-interrupt handling processors.
Current Status
--------------
The System will boot on Mono, Dyad and Quad cards. There was
originally a Quad boot problem which has been fixed by proper gdt
alignment in the initial boot loader. If you still cannot get your
voyager system to boot, email me at:
<J.E.J.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>
The Quad cards now support using the separate Quad CPI vectors instead
of going through the VIC mailbox system.
The Level 4 architecture (3430 and 3360 Machines) should also work
fine.
Dump Switch
-----------
The voyager dump switch sends out a broadcast NMI which the voyager
code intercepts and does a task dump.
Power Switch
------------
The front panel power switch is intercepted by the kernel and should
cause a system shutdown and power off.
A Note About Mixed CPU Systems
------------------------------
Linux isn't designed to handle mixed CPU systems very well. In order
to get everything going you *must* make sure that your lowest
capability CPU is used for booting. Also, mixing CPU classes
(e.g. 486 and 586) is really not going to work very well at all.
