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
appropriate mask even if your device only supports 32-bit DMA

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.

2.4 Notification API
--------------------
There is mechanism which allows to get notifications about changing
status of a cgroup.
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
cgroup is removed.
To unregister notification handler just close eventfd.

================
CIRCULAR BUFFERS
================
By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Linux provides a number of features that can be used to implement circular
buffering. There are two sets of such features:
(1) Convenience functions for determining information about power-of-2 sized
buffers.
(2) Memory barriers for when the producer and the consumer of objects in the
buffer don't want to share a lock.
To use these facilities, as discussed below, there needs to be just one
producer and just one consumer. It is possible to handle multiple producers by
serialising them, and to handle multiple consumers by serialising them.
Contents:
(*) What is a circular buffer?
(*) Measuring power-of-2 buffers.
(*) Using memory barriers with circular buffers.
- The producer.
- The consumer.
==========================
WHAT IS A CIRCULAR BUFFER?
==========================
First of all, what is a circular buffer? A circular buffer is a buffer of
fixed, finite size into which there are two indices:
(1) A 'head' index - the point at which the producer inserts items into the
buffer.
(2) A 'tail' index - the point at which the consumer finds the next item in
the buffer.
Typically when the tail pointer is equal to the head pointer, the buffer is
empty; and the buffer is full when the head pointer is one less than the tail
pointer.
The head index is incremented when items are added, and the tail index when
items are removed. The tail index should never jump the head index, and both
indices should be wrapped to 0 when they reach the end of the buffer, thus
allowing an infinite amount of data to flow through the buffer.
Typically, items will all be of the same unit size, but this isn't strictly
required to use the techniques below. The indices can be increased by more
than 1 if multiple items or variable-sized items are to be included in the
buffer, provided that neither index overtakes the other. The implementer must
be careful, however, as a region more than one unit in size may wrap the end of
the buffer and be broken into two segments.
============================
MEASURING POWER-OF-2 BUFFERS
============================
Calculation of the occupancy or the remaining capacity of an arbitrarily sized
circular buffer would normally be a slow operation, requiring the use of a
modulus (divide) instruction. However, if the buffer is of a power-of-2 size,
then a much quicker bitwise-AND instruction can be used instead.
Linux provides a set of macros for handling power-of-2 circular buffers. These
can be made use of by:
#include <linux/circ_buf.h>
The macros are:
(*) Measure the remaining capacity of a buffer:
CIRC_SPACE(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size);
This returns the amount of space left in the buffer[1] into which items
can be inserted.
(*) Measure the maximum consecutive immediate space in a buffer:
CIRC_SPACE_TO_END(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size);
This returns the amount of consecutive space left in the buffer[1] into
which items can be immediately inserted without having to wrap back to the
beginning of the buffer.
(*) Measure the occupancy of a buffer:
CIRC_CNT(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size);
This returns the number of items currently occupying a buffer[2].
(*) Measure the non-wrapping occupancy of a buffer:
CIRC_CNT_TO_END(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size);
This returns the number of consecutive items[2] that can be extracted from
the buffer without having to wrap back to the beginning of the buffer.
Each of these macros will nominally return a value between 0 and buffer_size-1,
however:
[1] CIRC_SPACE*() are intended to be used in the producer. To the producer
they will return a lower bound as the producer controls the head index,
but the consumer may still be depleting the buffer on another CPU and
moving the tail index.
To the consumer it will show an upper bound as the producer may be busy
depleting the space.
[2] CIRC_CNT*() are intended to be used in the consumer. To the consumer they
will return a lower bound as the consumer controls the tail index, but the
producer may still be filling the buffer on another CPU and moving the
head index.
To the producer it will show an upper bound as the consumer may be busy
emptying the buffer.
[3] To a third party, the order in which the writes to the indices by the
producer and consumer become visible cannot be guaranteed as they are
independent and may be made on different CPUs - so the result in such a
situation will merely be a guess, and may even be negative.
===========================================
USING MEMORY BARRIERS WITH CIRCULAR BUFFERS
===========================================
By using memory barriers in conjunction with circular buffers, you can avoid
the need to:
(1) use a single lock to govern access to both ends of the buffer, thus
allowing the buffer to be filled and emptied at the same time; and
(2) use atomic counter operations.
There are two sides to this: the producer that fills the buffer, and the
consumer that empties it. Only one thing should be filling a buffer at any one
time, and only one thing should be emptying a buffer at any one time, but the
two sides can operate simultaneously.
THE PRODUCER
------------
The producer will look something like this:
spin_lock(&producer_lock);
unsigned long head = buffer->head;
unsigned long tail = ACCESS_ONCE(buffer->tail);
if (CIRC_SPACE(head, tail, buffer->size) >= 1) {
/* insert one item into the buffer */
struct item *item = buffer[head];
produce_item(item);
smp_wmb(); /* commit the item before incrementing the head */
buffer->head = (head + 1) & (buffer->size - 1);
/* wake_up() will make sure that the head is committed before
* waking anyone up */
wake_up(consumer);
}
spin_unlock(&producer_lock);
This will instruct the CPU that the contents of the new item must be written
before the head index makes it available to the consumer and then instructs the
CPU that the revised head index must be written before the consumer is woken.
Note that wake_up() doesn't have to be the exact mechanism used, but whatever
is used must guarantee a (write) memory barrier between the update of the head
index and the change of state of the consumer, if a change of state occurs.
THE CONSUMER
------------
The consumer will look something like this:
spin_lock(&consumer_lock);
unsigned long head = ACCESS_ONCE(buffer->head);
unsigned long tail = buffer->tail;
if (CIRC_CNT(head, tail, buffer->size) >= 1) {
/* read index before reading contents at that index */
smp_read_barrier_depends();
/* extract one item from the buffer */
struct item *item = buffer[tail];
consume_item(item);
smp_mb(); /* finish reading descriptor before incrementing tail */
buffer->tail = (tail + 1) & (buffer->size - 1);
}
spin_unlock(&consumer_lock);
This will instruct the CPU to make sure the index is up to date before reading
the new item, and then it shall make sure the CPU has finished reading the item
before it writes the new tail pointer, which will erase the item.
Note the use of ACCESS_ONCE() in both algorithms to read the opposition index.
This prevents the compiler from discarding and reloading its cached value -
which some compilers will do across smp_read_barrier_depends(). This isn't
strictly needed if you can be sure that the opposition index will _only_ be
used the once.

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

Hoorah. Apparently you can cut-n-paste literal tabs, but Gmail will
convert those to spaces upon sending!
Gmail web client converts tabs to spaces automatically.
The second problem is that Gmail converts tabs to spaces on replies. If
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
although tab2space problem can be solved with external editor.
The last problem is that Gmail will base64-encode any message that has a

* Easy deployment: most FS components are userspace daemons
Also,
* Flexible snapshots (on any directory)
* Recursive accounting (nested files, directories, bytes)
In contrast to cluster filesystems like GFS, OCFS2, and GPFS that rely
on symmetric access by all clients to shared block devices, Ceph
separates data and metadata management into independent server
clusters, similar to Lustre. Unlike Lustre, however, metadata and
storage nodes run entirely as user space daemons. Storage nodes
utilize btrfs to store data objects, leveraging its advanced features
(checksumming, metadata replication, etc.). File data is striped
across storage nodes in large chunks to distribute workload and
facilitate high throughputs. When storage nodes fail, data is
re-replicated in a distributed fashion by the storage nodes themselves
(with some minimal coordination from a cluster monitor), making the
system extremely efficient and scalable.
Metadata servers effectively form a large, consistent, distributed
in-memory cache above the file namespace that is extremely scalable,
dynamically redistributes metadata in response to workload changes,
and can tolerate arbitrary (well, non-Byzantine) node failures. The
metadata server takes a somewhat unconventional approach to metadata
storage to significantly improve performance for common workloads. In
particular, inodes with only a single link are embedded in
directories, allowing entire directories of dentries and inodes to be
loaded into its cache with a single I/O operation. The contents of
extremely large directories can be fragmented and managed by
independent metadata servers, allowing scalable concurrent access.
The system offers automatic data rebalancing/migration when scaling
from a small cluster of just a few nodes to many hundreds, without
requiring an administrator carve the data set into static volumes or
go through the tedious process of migrating data between servers.
When the file system approaches full, new nodes can be easily added
and things will "just work."
Ceph includes flexible snapshot mechanism that allows a user to create
a snapshot on any subdirectory (and its nested contents) in the
system. Snapshot creation and deletion are as simple as 'mkdir
.snap/foo' and 'rmdir .snap/foo'.
Ceph also provides some recursive accounting on directories for nested
files and bytes. That is, a 'getfattr -d foo' on any directory in the
system will reveal the total number of nested regular files and
subdirectories, and a summation of all nested file sizes. This makes
the identification of large disk space consumers relatively quick, as
no 'du' or similar recursive scan of the file system is required.
Mount Syntax
============
The basic mount syntax is:
# mount -t ceph monip[:port][,monip2[:port]...]:/[subdir] mnt
You only need to specify a single monitor, as the client will get the
full list when it connects. (However, if the monitor you specify
happens to be down, the mount won't succeed.) The port can be left
off if the monitor is using the default. So if the monitor is at
1.2.3.4,
# mount -t ceph 1.2.3.4:/ /mnt/ceph
is sufficient. If /sbin/mount.ceph is installed, a hostname can be
used instead of an IP address.
Mount Options
=============
ip=A.B.C.D[:N]
Specify the IP and/or port the client should bind to locally.
There is normally not much reason to do this. If the IP is not
specified, the client's IP address is determined by looking at the
address it's connection to the monitor originates from.
wsize=X
Specify the maximum write size in bytes. By default there is no
maximum. Ceph will normally size writes based on the file stripe
size.
rsize=X
Specify the maximum readahead.
mount_timeout=X
Specify the timeout value for mount (in seconds), in the case
of a non-responsive Ceph file system. The default is 30
seconds.
rbytes
When stat() is called on a directory, set st_size to 'rbytes',
the summation of file sizes over all files nested beneath that
directory. This is the default.
norbytes
When stat() is called on a directory, set st_size to the
number of entries in that directory.
nocrc
Disable CRC32C calculation for data writes. If set, the storage node
must rely on TCP's error correction to detect data corruption
in the data payload.
noasyncreaddir
Disable client's use its local cache to satisfy readdir
requests. (This does not change correctness; the client uses
cached metadata only when a lease or capability ensures it is
valid.)

direct expression of inheritance, so other techniques - such as structure
embedding - must be used.
So, for example, the UIO code has a structure that defines the memory
region associated with a uio device:
(As an aside, for those familiar with the kernel linked list implementation,
this is analogous as to how "list_head" structs are rarely useful on
their own, but are invariably found embedded in the larger objects of
interest.)
struct uio_mem {
So, for example, the UIO code in drivers/uio/uio.c has a structure that
defines the memory region associated with a uio device:
struct uio_map {
struct kobject kobj;
unsigned long addr;
unsigned long size;
int memtype;
void __iomem *internal_addr;
};
struct uio_mem *mem;
};
If you have a struct uio_mem structure, finding its embedded kobject is
If you have a struct uio_map structure, finding its embedded kobject is
just a matter of using the kobj member. Code that works with kobjects will
often have the opposite problem, however: given a struct kobject pointer,
what is the pointer to the containing structure? You must avoid tricks
(such as assuming that the kobject is at the beginning of the structure)
and, instead, use the container_of() macro, found in <linux/kernel.h>:
container_of(pointer, type, member)
container_of(pointer, type, member)
where pointer is the pointer to the embedded kobject, type is the type of
the containing structure, and member is the name of the structure field to
which pointer points. The return value from container_of() is a pointer to
the given type. So, for example, a pointer "kp" to a struct kobject
embedded within a struct uio_mem could be converted to a pointer to the
containing uio_mem structure with:
where:
struct uio_mem *u_mem = container_of(kp, struct uio_mem, kobj);
* "pointer" is the pointer to the embedded kobject,
* "type" is the type of the containing structure, and
* "member" is the name of the structure field to which "pointer" points.
Programmers often define a simple macro for "back-casting" kobject pointers
to the containing type.
The return value from container_of() is a pointer to the corresponding
container type. So, for example, a pointer "kp" to a struct kobject
embedded *within* a struct uio_map could be converted to a pointer to the
*containing* uio_map structure with:
struct uio_map *u_map = container_of(kp, struct uio_map, kobj);
For convenience, programmers often define a simple macro for "back-casting"
kobject pointers to the containing type. Exactly this happens in the
earlier drivers/uio/uio.c, as you can see here:
struct uio_map {
struct kobject kobj;
struct uio_mem *mem;
};
#define to_map(map) container_of(map, struct uio_map, kobj)
where the macro argument "map" is a pointer to the struct kobject in
question. That macro is subsequently invoked with:
struct uio_map *map = to_map(kobj);

STMicroelectronics 10/100/1000 Synopsys Ethernet driver
Copyright (C) 2007-2010 STMicroelectronics Ltd
Author: Giuseppe Cavallaro <peppe.cavallaro@st.com>
This is the driver for the MAC 10/100/1000 on-chip Ethernet controllers
(Synopsys IP blocks); it has been fully tested on STLinux platforms.
Currently this network device driver is for all STM embedded MAC/GMAC
(7xxx SoCs).
DWC Ether MAC 10/100/1000 Universal version 3.41a and DWC Ether MAC 10/100
Universal version 4.0 have been used for developing the first code
implementation.
Please, for more information also visit: www.stlinux.com
1) Kernel Configuration
The kernel configuration option is STMMAC_ETH:
Device Drivers ---> Network device support ---> Ethernet (1000 Mbit) --->
STMicroelectronics 10/100/1000 Ethernet driver (STMMAC_ETH)
2) Driver parameters list:
debug: message level (0: no output, 16: all);
phyaddr: to manually provide the physical address to the PHY device;
dma_rxsize: DMA rx ring size;
dma_txsize: DMA tx ring size;
buf_sz: DMA buffer size;
tc: control the HW FIFO threshold;
tx_coe: Enable/Disable Tx Checksum Offload engine;
watchdog: transmit timeout (in milliseconds);
flow_ctrl: Flow control ability [on/off];
pause: Flow Control Pause Time;
tmrate: timer period (only if timer optimisation is configured).
3) Command line options
Driver parameters can be also passed in command line by using:
stmmaceth=dma_rxsize:128,dma_txsize:512
4) Driver information and notes
4.1) Transmit process
The xmit method is invoked when the kernel needs to transmit a packet; it sets
the descriptors in the ring and informs the DMA engine that there is a packet
ready to be transmitted.
Once the controller has finished transmitting the packet, an interrupt is
triggered; So the driver will be able to release the socket buffers.
By default, the driver sets the NETIF_F_SG bit in the features field of the
net_device structure enabling the scatter/gather feature.
4.2) Receive process
When one or more packets are received, an interrupt happens. The interrupts
are not queued so the driver has to scan all the descriptors in the ring during
the receive process.
This is based on NAPI so the interrupt handler signals only if there is work to be
done, and it exits.
Then the poll method will be scheduled at some future point.
The incoming packets are stored, by the DMA, in a list of pre-allocated socket
buffers in order to avoid the memcpy (Zero-copy).
4.3) Timer-Driver Interrupt
Instead of having the device that asynchronously notifies the frame receptions, the
driver configures a timer to generate an interrupt at regular intervals.
Based on the granularity of the timer, the frames that are received by the device
will experience different levels of latency. Some NICs have dedicated timer
device to perform this task. STMMAC can use either the RTC device or the TMU
channel 2 on STLinux platforms.
The timers frequency can be passed to the driver as parameter; when change it,
take care of both hardware capability and network stability/performance impact.
Several performance tests on STM platforms showed this optimisation allows to spare
the CPU while having the maximum throughput.
4.4) WOL
Wake up on Lan feature through Magic Frame is only supported for the GMAC
core.
4.5) DMA descriptors
Driver handles both normal and enhanced descriptors. The latter has been only
tested on DWC Ether MAC 10/100/1000 Universal version 3.41a.
4.6) Ethtool support
Ethtool is supported. Driver statistics and internal errors can be taken using:
ethtool -S ethX command. It is possible to dump registers etc.
4.7) Jumbo and Segmentation Offloading
Jumbo frames are supported and tested for the GMAC.
The GSO has been also added but it's performed in software.
LRO is not supported.
4.8) Physical
The driver is compatible with PAL to work with PHY and GPHY devices.
4.9) Platform information
Several information came from the platform; please refer to the
driver's Header file in include/linux directory.
struct plat_stmmacenet_data {
int bus_id;
int pbl;
int has_gmac;
void (*fix_mac_speed)(void *priv, unsigned int speed);
void (*bus_setup)(unsigned long ioaddr);
#ifdef CONFIG_STM_DRIVERS
struct stm_pad_config *pad_config;
#endif
void *bsp_priv;
};
Where:
- pbl (Programmable Burst Length) is maximum number of
beats to be transferred in one DMA transaction.
GMAC also enables the 4xPBL by default.
- fix_mac_speed and bus_setup are used to configure internal target
registers (on STM platforms);
- has_gmac: GMAC core is on board (get it at run-time in the next step);
- bus_id: bus identifier.
struct plat_stmmacphy_data {
int bus_id;
int phy_addr;
unsigned int phy_mask;
int interface;
int (*phy_reset)(void *priv);
void *priv;
};
Where:
- bus_id: bus identifier;
- phy_addr: physical address used for the attached phy device;
set it to -1 to get it at run-time;
- interface: physical MII interface mode;
- phy_reset: hook to reset HW function.
TODO:
- Continue to make the driver more generic and suitable for other Synopsys
Ethernet controllers used on other architectures (i.e. ARM).
- 10G controllers are not supported.
- MAC uses Normal descriptors and GMAC uses enhanced ones.
This is a limit that should be reviewed. MAC could want to
use the enhanced structure.
- Checksumming: Rx/Tx csum is done in HW in case of GMAC only.
- Review the timer optimisation code to use an embedded device that seems to be
available in new chip generations.

DEVICE IMPLEMENTATION
A driver which supports hardware time stamping must support the
SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl. Time stamps for received packets must be stored
in the skb with skb_hwtstamp_set().
SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl and update the supplied struct hwtstamp_config with
the actual values as described in the section on SIOCSHWTSTAMP.
Time stamps for received packets must be stored in the skb. To get a pointer
to the shared time stamp structure of the skb call skb_hwtstamps(). Then
set the time stamps in the structure:
struct skb_shared_hwtstamps {
/* hardware time stamp transformed into duration
* since arbitrary point in time
*/
ktime_t hwtstamp;
ktime_t syststamp; /* hwtstamp transformed to system time base */
};
Time stamps for outgoing packets are to be generated as follows:
- In hard_start_xmit(), check if skb_hwtstamp_check_tx_hardware()
returns non-zero. If yes, then the driver is expected
to do hardware time stamping.
- In hard_start_xmit(), check if skb_tx(skb)->hardware is set no-zero.
If yes, then the driver is expected to do hardware time stamping.
- If this is possible for the skb and requested, then declare
that the driver is doing the time stamping by calling
skb_hwtstamp_tx_in_progress(). A driver not supporting
hardware time stamping doesn't do that. A driver must never
touch sk_buff::tstamp! It is used to store how time stamping
for an outgoing packets is to be done.
that the driver is doing the time stamping by setting the field
skb_tx(skb)->in_progress non-zero. You might want to keep a pointer
to the associated skb for the next step and not free the skb. A driver
not supporting hardware time stamping doesn't do that. A driver must
never touch sk_buff::tstamp! It is used to store software generated
time stamps by the network subsystem.
- As soon as the driver has sent the packet and/or obtained a
hardware time stamp for it, it passes the time stamp back by
calling skb_hwtstamp_tx() with the original skb, the raw
hardware time stamp and a handle to the device (necessary
to convert the hardware time stamp to system time). If obtaining
the hardware time stamp somehow fails, then the driver should
not fall back to software time stamping. The rationale is that
this would occur at a later time in the processing pipeline
than other software time stamping and therefore could lead
to unexpected deltas between time stamps.
- If the driver did not call skb_hwtstamp_tx_in_progress(), then
hardware time stamp. skb_hwtstamp_tx() clones the original skb and
adds the timestamps, therefore the original skb has to be freed now.
If obtaining the hardware time stamp somehow fails, then the driver
should not fall back to software time stamping. The rationale is that
this would occur at a later time in the processing pipeline than other
software time stamping and therefore could lead to unexpected deltas
between time stamps.
- If the driver did not call set skb_tx(skb)->in_progress, then
dev_hard_start_xmit() checks whether software time stamping
is wanted as fallback and potentially generates the time stamp.

The firmware node itself contains the firmware binary contents, a compatible

should define an fsl,firmware-phandle property that points to the firmware node
in the first QE node.

Interrupt Handling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In rare but some cases, the interrupt isn't properly handled as
default. You would notice this by the DMA transfer error reported by
ALSA PCM core, for example. Using MSI might help in such a case.
Pass `enable_msi=1` option for enabling MSI.
HD-audio driver uses MSI as default (if available) since 2.6.33
kernel as MSI works better on some machines, and in general, it's
better for performance. However, Nvidia controllers showed bad
regressions with MSI (especially in a combination with AMD chipset),
thus we disabled MSI for them.
There seem also still other devices that don't work with MSI. If you
see a regression wrt the sound quality (stuttering, etc) or a lock-up
in the recent kernel, try to pass `enable_msi=0` option to disable
MSI. If it works, you can add the known bad device to the blacklist
defined in hda_intel.c. In such a case, please report and give the
patch back to the upstream developer.

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.
