KernelVersion: 2.6.22
Contact: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
Description:
The ubi/ class sub-directory belongs to the UBI subsystem and
provides general UBI information, per-UBI device information
and per-UBI volume information.
What: /sys/class/ubi/version
Date: July 2006
KernelVersion: 2.6.22
Contact: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
Description:
This file contains version of the latest supported UBI on-media
format. Currently it is 1, and there is no plan to change this.
However, if in the future UBI needs on-flash format changes
which cannot be done in a compatible manner, a new format
version will be added. So this is a mechanism for possible
future backward-compatible (but forward-incompatible)
improvements.

KernelVersion: 2.6.22
Contact: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
Description:
Contains ASCII "0\n" if the update marker is not set for this
volume, and "1\n" if it is set. The update marker is set when
volume update starts, and cleaned when it ends. So the presence
of the update marker indicates that the volume is being updated
at the moment of the update was interrupted. The later may be
checked using the "corrupted" sysfs file.

What: /sys/class/bdi/<bdi>/
Date: January 2008
Contact: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
Description:
Provide a place in sysfs for the backing_dev_info object. This allows
setting and retrieving various BDI specific variables.
The <bdi> identifier can be either of the following:
MAJOR:MINOR
Device number for block devices, or value of st_dev on
non-block filesystems which provide their own BDI, such as NFS
and FUSE.
default
The default backing dev, used for non-block device backed
filesystems which do not provide their own BDI.
Files under /sys/class/bdi/<bdi>/
---------------------------------
read_ahead_kb (read-write)
Size of the read-ahead window in kilobytes
min_ratio (read-write)
Under normal circumstances each device is given a part of the
total write-back cache that relates to its current average
writeout speed in relation to the other devices.
The 'min_ratio' parameter allows assigning a minimum
percentage of the write-back cache to a particular device.
For example, this is useful for providing a minimum QoS.
max_ratio (read-write)
Allows limiting a particular device to use not more than the
given percentage of the write-back cache. This is useful in
situations where we want to avoid one device taking all or
most of the write-back cache. For example in case of an NFS
mount that is prone to get stuck, or a FUSE mount which cannot
be trusted to play fair.

The four functions above are just like the counterpart functions
without the _attrs suffixes, except that they pass an optional
struct dma_attrs*.
struct dma_attrs encapsulates a set of "dma attributes". For the
definition of struct dma_attrs see linux/dma-attrs.h.
The interpretation of dma attributes is architecture-specific, and
each attribute should be documented in Documentation/DMA-attributes.txt.
If struct dma_attrs* is NULL, the semantics of each of these
functions is identical to those of the corresponding function
without the _attrs suffix. As a result dma_map_single_attrs()
can generally replace dma_map_single(), etc.
As an example of the use of the *_attrs functions, here's how
you could pass an attribute DMA_ATTR_FOO when mapping memory
for DMA:
#include <linux/dma-attrs.h>
/* DMA_ATTR_FOO should be defined in linux/dma-attrs.h and
* documented in Documentation/DMA-attributes.txt */
...
DEFINE_DMA_ATTRS(attrs);
dma_set_attr(DMA_ATTR_FOO, &attrs);
....
n = dma_map_sg_attrs(dev, sg, nents, DMA_TO_DEVICE, &attr);
....
Architectures that care about DMA_ATTR_FOO would check for its
presence in their implementations of the mapping and unmapping
routines, e.g.:
void whizco_dma_map_sg_attrs(struct device *dev, dma_addr_t dma_addr,
size_t size, enum dma_data_direction dir,
struct dma_attrs *attrs)
{
....
int foo = dma_get_attr(DMA_ATTR_FOO, attrs);

DMA attributes
==============
This document describes the semantics of the DMA attributes that are
defined in linux/dma-attrs.h.
DMA_ATTR_WRITE_BARRIER
----------------------
DMA_ATTR_WRITE_BARRIER is a (write) barrier attribute for DMA. DMA
to a memory region with the DMA_ATTR_WRITE_BARRIER attribute forces
all pending DMA writes to complete, and thus provides a mechanism to
strictly order DMA from a device across all intervening busses and
bridges. This barrier is not specific to a particular type of
interconnect, it applies to the system as a whole, and so its
implementation must account for the idiosyncracies of the system all
the way from the DMA device to memory.
As an example of a situation where DMA_ATTR_WRITE_BARRIER would be
useful, suppose that a device does a DMA write to indicate that data is
ready and available in memory. The DMA of the "completion indication"
could race with data DMA. Mapping the memory used for completion
indications with DMA_ATTR_WRITE_BARRIER would prevent the race.

debugobjects is a generic infrastructure to track the life time
of kernel objects and validate the operations on those.

<title>Howto use debugobjects</title>
<para>
A kernel subsystem needs to provide a data structure which
describes the object type and add calls into the debug code at
appropriate places. The data structure to describe the object
type needs at minimum the name of the object type. Optional
functions can and should be provided to fixup detected problems
so the kernel can continue to work and the debug information can
be retrieved from a live system instead of hard core debugging
with serial consoles and stack trace transcripts from the
monitor.
</para>
<para>
The debug calls provided by debugobjects are:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>debug_object_init</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>debug_object_init_on_stack</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>debug_object_activate</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>debug_object_deactivate</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>debug_object_destroy</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>debug_object_free</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
Each of these functions takes the address of the real object and
a pointer to the object type specific debug description
structure.
</para>
<para>
Each detected error is reported in the statistics and a limited
number of errors are printk'ed including a full stack trace.
</para>
<para>
The statistics are available via debugfs/debug_objects/stats.
They provide information about the number of warnings and the
number of successful fixups along with information about the
usage of the internal tracking objects and the state of the
internal tracking objects pool.

When the real object is already tracked by debugobjects it is
checked, whether the object can be initialized. Initializing
is not allowed for active and destroyed objects. When

<title>Clock Framework</title>
<para>
The clock framework defines programming interfaces to support
software management of the system clock tree.
This framework is widely used with System-On-Chip (SOC) platforms
to support power management and various devices which may need
custom clock rates.
Note that these "clocks" don't relate to timekeeping or real
time clocks (RTCs), each of which have separate frameworks.
These <structname>struct clk</structname> instances may be used
to manage for example a 96 MHz signal that is used to shift bits
into and out of peripherals or busses, or otherwise trigger
synchronous state machine transitions in system hardware.
</para>
<para>
Power management is supported by explicit software clock gating:
unused clocks are disabled, so the system doesn't waste power
changing the state of transistors that aren't in active use.
On some systems this may be backed by hardware clock gating,
where clocks are gated without being disabled in software.
Sections of chips that are powered but not clocked may be able
to retain their last state.
This low power state is often called a <emphasis>retention
mode</emphasis>.
This mode still incurs leakage currents, especially with finer
circuit geometries, but for CMOS circuits power is mostly used
by clocked state changes.
</para>
<para>
Power-aware drivers only enable their clocks when the device
they manage is in active use. Also, system sleep states often
differ according to which clock domains are active: while a
"standby" state may allow wakeup from several active domains, a
"mem" (suspend-to-RAM) state may require a more wholesale shutdown
of clocks derived from higher speed PLLs and oscillators, limiting
the number of possible wakeup event sources. A driver's suspend
method may need to be aware of system-specific clock constraints
on the target sleep state.
</para>
<para>
Some platforms support programmable clock generators. These
can be used by external chips of various kinds, such as other
CPUs, multimedia codecs, and devices with strict requirements
for interface clocking.

S3C24XX NAND Support
====================
Introduction
------------
Small Page NAND
---------------
The driver uses a 512 byte (1 page) ECC code for this setup. The
ECC code is not directly compatible with the default kernel ECC
code, so the driver enforces its own OOB layout and ECC parameters
Large Page NAND
---------------
The driver is capable of handling NAND flash with a 2KiB page
size, with support for hardware ECC generation and correction.
Unlike the 512byte page mode, the driver generates ECC data for
each 256 byte block in an 2KiB page. This means that more than
one error in a page can be rectified. It also means that the
OOB layout remains the default kernel layout for these flashes.

Linux Braille Console
To get early boot messages on a braille device (before userspace screen
readers can start), you first need to compile the support for the usual serial
console (see serial-console.txt), and for braille device (in Device Drivers -
Accessibility).
Then you need to specify a console=brl, option on the kernel command line, the
format is:
console=brl,serial_options...
where serial_options... are the same as described in serial-console.txt
So for instance you can use console=brl,ttyS0 if the braille device is connected
to the first serial port, and console=brl,ttyS0,115200 to override the baud rate
to 115200, etc.
By default, the braille device will just show the last kernel message (console
mode). To review previous messages, press the Insert key to switch to the VT
review mode. In review mode, the arrow keys permit to browse in the VT content,
page up/down keys go at the top/bottom of the screen, and the home key goes back
to the cursor, hence providing very basic screen reviewing facility.
Sound feedback can be obtained by adding the braille_console.sound=1 kernel
parameter.
For simplicity, only one braille console can be enabled, other uses of
console=brl,... will be discarded. Also note that it does not interfere with
the console selection mecanism described in serial-console.txt
For now, only the VisioBraille device is supported.

Device Whitelist Controller
1. Description:
Implement a cgroup to track and enforce open and mknod restrictions
on device files. A device cgroup associates a device access
whitelist with each cgroup. A whitelist entry has 4 fields.
'type' is a (all), c (char), or b (block). 'all' means it applies
to all types and all major and minor numbers. Major and minor are
either an integer or * for all. Access is a composition of r
(read), w (write), and m (mknod).
The root device cgroup starts with rwm to 'all'. A child device
cgroup gets a copy of the parent. Administrators can then remove
devices from the whitelist or add new entries. A child cgroup can
never receive a device access which is denied its parent. However
when a device access is removed from a parent it will not also be
removed from the child(ren).
2. User Interface
An entry is added using devices.allow, and removed using
devices.deny. For instance
echo 'c 1:3 mr' > /cgroups/1/devices.allow
allows cgroup 1 to read and mknod the device usually known as
/dev/null. Doing
echo a > /cgroups/1/devices.deny
will remove the default 'a *:* mrw' entry.
3. Security
Any task can move itself between cgroups. This clearly won't
suffice, but we can decide the best way to adequately restrict
movement as people get some experience with this. We may just want
to require CAP_SYS_ADMIN, which at least is a separate bit from
CAP_MKNOD. We may want to just refuse moving to a cgroup which
isn't a descendent of the current one. Or we may want to use
CAP_MAC_ADMIN, since we really are trying to lock down root.
CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to modify the whitelist or move another
task to a new cgroup. (Again we'll probably want to change that).
A cgroup may not be granted more permissions than the cgroup's
parent has.

The Resource Counter
The resource counter, declared at include/linux/res_counter.h,
is supposed to facilitate the resource management by controllers
by providing common stuff for accounting.
This "stuff" includes the res_counter structure and routines
to work with it.
1. Crucial parts of the res_counter structure
a. unsigned long long usage
The usage value shows the amount of a resource that is consumed
by a group at a given time. The units of measurement should be
determined by the controller that uses this counter. E.g. it can
be bytes, items or any other unit the controller operates on.
b. unsigned long long max_usage
The maximal value of the usage over time.
This value is useful when gathering statistical information about
the particular group, as it shows the actual resource requirements
for a particular group, not just some usage snapshot.
c. unsigned long long limit
The maximal allowed amount of resource to consume by the group. In
case the group requests for more resources, so that the usage value
would exceed the limit, the resource allocation is rejected (see
the next section).
d. unsigned long long failcnt
The failcnt stands for "failures counter". This is the number of
resource allocation attempts that failed.
c. spinlock_t lock
Protects changes of the above values.
2. Basic accounting routines
a. void res_counter_init(struct res_counter *rc)
Initializes the resource counter. As usual, should be the first
routine called for a new counter.
b. int res_counter_charge[_locked]
(struct res_counter *rc, unsigned long val)
When a resource is about to be allocated it has to be accounted
with the appropriate resource counter (controller should determine
which one to use on its own). This operation is called "charging".
This is not very important which operation - resource allocation
or charging - is performed first, but
* if the allocation is performed first, this may create a
temporary resource over-usage by the time resource counter is
charged;
* if the charging is performed first, then it should be uncharged
on error path (if the one is called).
c. void res_counter_uncharge[_locked]
(struct res_counter *rc, unsigned long val)
When a resource is released (freed) it should be de-accounted
from the resource counter it was accounted to. This is called
"uncharging".
The _locked routines imply that the res_counter->lock is taken.
2.1 Other accounting routines
There are more routines that may help you with common needs, like
checking whether the limit is reached or resetting the max_usage
value. They are all declared in include/linux/res_counter.h.
3. Analyzing the resource counter registrations
a. If the failcnt value constantly grows, this means that the counter's
limit is too tight. Either the group is misbehaving and consumes too
many resources, or the configuration is not suitable for the group
and the limit should be increased.
b. The max_usage value can be used to quickly tune the group. One may
set the limits to maximal values and either load the container with
a common pattern or leave one for a while. After this the max_usage
value shows the amount of memory the container would require during
its common activity.
Setting the limit a bit above this value gives a pretty good
configuration that works in most of the cases.
c. If the max_usage is much less than the limit, but the failcnt value
is growing, then the group tries to allocate a big chunk of resource
at once.
d. If the max_usage is much less than the limit, but the failcnt value
is 0, then this group is given too high limit, that it does not
require. It is better to lower the limit a bit leaving more resource
for other groups.
4. Communication with the control groups subsystem (cgroups)
All the resource controllers that are using cgroups and resource counters
should provide files (in the cgroup filesystem) to work with the resource
counter fields. They are recommended to adhere to the following rules:
a. File names
Field name File name
---------------------------------------------------
usage usage_in_<unit_of_measurement>
max_usage max_usage_in_<unit_of_measurement>
limit limit_in_<unit_of_measurement>
failcnt failcnt
lock no file :)
b. Reading from file should show the corresponding field value in the
appropriate format.
c. Writing to file
Field Expected behavior
----------------------------------
usage prohibited
max_usage reset to usage
limit set the limit
failcnt reset to zero
5. Usage example
a. Declare a task group (take a look at cgroups subsystem for this) and
fold a res_counter into it
struct my_group {
struct res_counter res;
<other fields>
}
b. Put hooks in resource allocation/release paths
int alloc_something(...)
{
if (res_counter_charge(res_counter_ptr, amount) < 0)
return -ENOMEM;
<allocate the resource and return to the caller>
}
void release_something(...)
{
res_counter_uncharge(res_counter_ptr, amount);
<release the resource>
}
In order to keep the usage value self-consistent, both the
"res_counter_ptr" and the "amount" in release_something() should be
the same as they were in the alloc_something() when the releasing
resource was allocated.
c. Provide the way to read res_counter values and set them (the cgroups
still can help with it).
c. Compile and run :)

page, buffer and other data commonly shared by the kernel across
multiple users. All cpusets, whether mem_exclusive or not, restrict
allocations of memory for user space. This enables configuring a
system so that several independent jobs can share common kernel data,
such as file system pages, while isolating each jobs user allocation in
its own cpuset. To do this, construct a large mem_exclusive cpuset to
hold all the jobs, and construct child, non-mem_exclusive cpusets for
each individual job. Only a small amount of typical kernel memory,
such as requests from interrupt handlers, is allowed to be taken
outside even a mem_exclusive cpuset.
A cpuset that is mem_exclusive *or* mem_hardwall is "hardwalled",
i.e. it restricts kernel allocations for page, buffer and other data

space. This enables configuring a system so that several independent
jobs can share common kernel data, such as file system pages, while

dm-crypt
=========
Device-Mapper's "crypt" target provides transparent encryption of block devices
using the kernel crypto API.
Parameters: <cipher> <key> <iv_offset> <device path> <offset>
<cipher>
Encryption cipher and an optional IV generation mode.
(In format cipher-chainmode-ivopts:ivmode).
Examples:
des
aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
twofish-ecb
/proc/crypto contains supported crypto modes
<key>
Key used for encryption. It is encoded as a hexadecimal number.
You can only use key sizes that are valid for the selected cipher.
<iv_offset>
The IV offset is a sector count that is added to the sector number
before creating the IV.
<device path>
This is the device that is going to be used as backend and contains the
encrypted data. You can specify it as a path like /dev/xxx or a device
number <major>:<minor>.
<offset>
Starting sector within the device where the encrypted data begins.
Example scripts
===============
LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) is now the preferred way to set up disk
encryption with dm-crypt using the 'cryptsetup' utility, see
http://luks.endorphin.org/
[[
#!/bin/sh
# Create a crypt device using dmsetup

What is gxfb?
=================
This is a graphics framebuffer driver for AMD Geode GX2 based processors.
Advantages:
* No need to use AMD's VSA code (or other VESA emulation layer) in the
BIOS.
* It provides a nice large console (128 cols + 48 lines with 1024x768)
without using tiny, unreadable fonts.
* You can run XF68_FBDev on top of /dev/fb0
* Most important: boot logo :-)
Disadvantages:
* graphic mode is slower than text mode...
How to use it?
==============
Switching modes is done using gxfb.mode_option=<resolution>... boot
parameter or using `fbset' program.
See Documentation/fb/modedb.txt for more information on modedb
resolutions.
X11
===
XF68_FBDev should generally work fine, but it is non-accelerated.
Configuration
=============
You can pass kernel command line options to gxfb with gxfb.<option>.
For example, gxfb.mode_option=800x600@75.
Accepted options:
mode_option - specify the video mode. Of the form
<x>x<y>[-<bpp>][@<refresh>]
vram - size of video ram (normally auto-detected)
vt_switch - enable vt switching during suspend/resume. The vt

- NFS/RDMA Setup
Overview
~~~~~~~~
This document describes how to install and setup the Linux NFS/RDMA client
and server software.
The NFS/RDMA client was first included in Linux 2.6.24. The NFS/RDMA server
was first included in the following release, Linux 2.6.25.
In our testing, we have obtained excellent performance results (full 10Gbit
wire bandwidth at minimal client CPU) under many workloads. The code passes
the full Connectathon test suite and operates over both Infiniband and iWARP
RDMA adapters.
Getting Help
~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you get stuck, you can ask questions on the
nfs-rdma-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
mailing list.
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
These instructions are a step by step guide to building a machine for
use with NFS/RDMA.
- Install an RDMA device
Any device supported by the drivers in drivers/infiniband/hw is acceptable.
Testing has been performed using several Mellanox-based IB cards, the
Ammasso AMS1100 iWARP adapter, and the Chelsio cxgb3 iWARP adapter.
- Install a Linux distribution and tools
The first kernel release to contain both the NFS/RDMA client and server was
Linux 2.6.25 Therefore, a distribution compatible with this and subsequent
Linux kernel release should be installed.
The procedures described in this document have been tested with
distributions from Red Hat's Fedora Project (http://fedora.redhat.com/).
- Install nfs-utils-1.1.1 or greater on the client
An NFS/RDMA mount point can only be obtained by using the mount.nfs
command in nfs-utils-1.1.1 or greater. To see which version of mount.nfs
you are using, type:
> /sbin/mount.nfs -V
If the version is less than 1.1.1 or the command does not exist,
then you will need to install the latest version of nfs-utils.
Download the latest package from:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/nfs
Uncompress the package and follow the installation instructions.
If you will not be using GSS and NFSv4, the installation process
can be simplified by disabling these features when running configure:
> ./configure --disable-gss --disable-nfsv4
For more information on this see the package's README and INSTALL files.
After building the nfs-utils package, there will be a mount.nfs binary in
the utils/mount directory. This binary can be used to initiate NFS v2, v3,
or v4 mounts. To initiate a v4 mount, the binary must be called mount.nfs4.
The standard technique is to create a symlink called mount.nfs4 to mount.nfs.
NOTE: mount.nfs and therefore nfs-utils-1.1.1 or greater is only needed
on the NFS client machine. You do not need this specific version of
nfs-utils on the server. Furthermore, only the mount.nfs command from
nfs-utils-1.1.1 is needed on the client.
- Install a Linux kernel with NFS/RDMA
The NFS/RDMA client and server are both included in the mainline Linux
kernel version 2.6.25 and later. This and other versions of the 2.6 Linux
kernel can be found at:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/
Download the sources and place them in an appropriate location.
- Configure the RDMA stack
Make sure your kernel configuration has RDMA support enabled. Under
Device Drivers -> InfiniBand support, update the kernel configuration
to enable InfiniBand support [NOTE: the option name is misleading. Enabling
InfiniBand support is required for all RDMA devices (IB, iWARP, etc.)].
Enable the appropriate IB HCA support (mlx4, mthca, ehca, ipath, etc.) or
iWARP adapter support (amso, cxgb3, etc.).
If you are using InfiniBand, be sure to enable IP-over-InfiniBand support.
- Configure the NFS client and server
Your kernel configuration must also have NFS file system support and/or
NFS server support enabled. These and other NFS related configuration
options can be found under File Systems -> Network File Systems.
- Build, install, reboot
The NFS/RDMA code will be enabled automatically if NFS and RDMA
are turned on. The NFS/RDMA client and server are configured via the hidden
SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA config option that depends on SUNRPC and INFINIBAND. The
value of SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA will be:
- N if either SUNRPC or INFINIBAND are N, in this case the NFS/RDMA client
and server will not be built
- M if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are on (M or Y) and at least one is M,
in this case the NFS/RDMA client and server will be built as modules
- Y if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are Y, in this case the NFS/RDMA client
and server will be built into the kernel
Therefore, if you have followed the steps above and turned no NFS and RDMA,
the NFS/RDMA client and server will be built.
Build a new kernel, install it, boot it.
Check RDMA and NFS Setup
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before configuring the NFS/RDMA software, it is a good idea to test
your new kernel to ensure that the kernel is working correctly.
In particular, it is a good idea to verify that the RDMA stack
is functioning as expected and standard NFS over TCP/IP and/or UDP/IP
is working properly.
- Check RDMA Setup
If you built the RDMA components as modules, load them at
this time. For example, if you are using a Mellanox Tavor/Sinai/Arbel
card:
> modprobe ib_mthca
> modprobe ib_ipoib
If you are using InfiniBand, make sure there is a Subnet Manager (SM)
running on the network. If your IB switch has an embedded SM, you can
use it. Otherwise, you will need to run an SM, such as OpenSM, on one
of your end nodes.
If an SM is running on your network, you should see the following:
> cat /sys/class/infiniband/driverX/ports/1/state
4: ACTIVE
where driverX is mthca0, ipath5, ehca3, etc.
To further test the InfiniBand software stack, use IPoIB (this
assumes you have two IB hosts named host1 and host2):
host1> ifconfig ib0 a.b.c.x
host2> ifconfig ib0 a.b.c.y
host1> ping a.b.c.y
host2> ping a.b.c.x
For other device types, follow the appropriate procedures.
- Check NFS Setup
For the NFS components enabled above (client and/or server),
test their functionality over standard Ethernet using TCP/IP or UDP/IP.
NFS/RDMA Setup
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We recommend that you use two machines, one to act as the client and
one to act as the server.
One time configuration:
- On the server system, configure the /etc/exports file and
start the NFS/RDMA server.
Exports entries with the following formats have been tested:
/vol0 192.168.0.47(fsid=0,rw,async,insecure,no_root_squash)
/vol0 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(fsid=0,rw,async,insecure,no_root_squash)
The IP address(es) is(are) the client's IPoIB address for an InfiniBand HCA or the
cleint's iWARP address(es) for an RNIC.
NOTE: The "insecure" option must be used because the NFS/RDMA client does not
use a reserved port.
Each time a machine boots:
- Load and configure the RDMA drivers
For InfiniBand using a Mellanox adapter:
> modprobe ib_mthca
> modprobe ib_ipoib
> ifconfig ib0 a.b.c.d
NOTE: use unique addresses for the client and server
- Start the NFS server
If the NFS/RDMA server was built as a module (CONFIG_SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA=m in kernel config),
load the RDMA transport module:
> modprobe svcrdma
Regardless of how the server was built (module or built-in), start the server:
> /etc/init.d/nfs start
or
> service nfs start
Instruct the server to listen on the RDMA transport:
> echo rdma 2050 > /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist
- On the client system
If the NFS/RDMA client was built as a module (CONFIG_SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA=m in kernel config),
load the RDMA client module:
> modprobe xprtrdma.ko
Regardless of how the client was built (module or built-in), issue the mount.nfs command:
> /path/to/your/mount.nfs <IPoIB-server-name-or-address>:/<export> /mnt -i -o rdma,port=2050
To verify that the mount is using RDMA, run "cat /proc/mounts" and check the
"proto" field for the given mount.
Congratulations! You're using NFS/RDMA!

test if a number could reference a GPIO, you may use this predicate:

Currently, kvm module in EXPERIMENTAL stage on IA64. This means that
interfaces are not stable enough to use. So, plase had better don't run
critical applications in virtual machine. We will try our best to make it
strong in future versions!
Guide: How to boot up guests on kvm/ia64
This guide is to describe how to enable kvm support for IA-64 systems.
1. Get the kvm source from git.kernel.org.
Userspace source:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm-userspace.git
Kernel Source:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiantao/kvm-ia64.git
2. Compile the source code.
2.1 Compile userspace code:
(1)cd ./kvm-userspace
(2)./configure
(3)cd kernel
(4)make sync LINUX= $kernel_dir (kernel_dir is the directory of kernel source.)
(5)cd ..
(6)make qemu
(7)cd qemu; make install
2.2 Compile kernel source code:
(1) cd ./$kernel_dir
(2) Make menuconfig
(3) Enter into virtualization option, and choose kvm.
(4) make
(5) Once (4) done, make modules_install
(6) Make initrd, and use new kernel to reboot up host machine.
(7) Once (6) done, cd $kernel_dir/arch/ia64/kvm
(8) insmod kvm.ko; insmod kvm-intel.ko
Note: For step 2, please make sure that host page size == TARGET_PAGE_SIZE of qemu, otherwise, may fail.
3. Get Guest Firmware named as Flash.fd, and put it under right place:
(1) If you have the guest firmware (binary) released by Intel Corp for Xen, use it directly.
(2) If you have no firmware at hand, Please download its source from
hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/efi-vfirmware.hg
you can get the firmware's binary in the directory of efi-vfirmware.hg/binaries.
(3) Rename the firware you owned to Flash.fd, and copy it to /usr/local/share/qemu
4. Boot up Linux or Windows guests:
4.1 Create or install a image for guest boot. If you have xen experience, it should be easy.
4.2 Boot up guests use the following command.
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-ia64 -smp xx -m 512 -hda $your_image
(xx is the number of virtual processors for the guest, now the maximum value is 4)
5. Known possibile issue on some platforms with old Firmware.
If meet strange host crashe issues, try to solve it through either of the following ways:
(1): Upgrade your Firmware to the latest one.
(2): Applying the below patch to kernel source.

*
* An overview of the pipelined operation mode.
*
* In the pipelined write mode, we will usually just add requests to our
* pipeline and return immediately, before we even start to service them. The
* user program will then have enough time to prepare the next request while
* we are still busy servicing previous requests. In the pipelined read mode,
* the situation is similar - we add read-ahead requests into the pipeline,
* before the user even requested them.
*
* The pipeline can be viewed as a "safety net" which will be activated when
* the system load is high and prevents the user backup program from keeping up
* with the current tape speed. At this point, the pipeline will get
* shorter and shorter but the tape will still be streaming at the same speed.
* Assuming we have enough pipeline stages, the system load will hopefully
* decrease before the pipeline is completely empty, and the backup program
* will be able to "catch up" and refill the pipeline again.
*
* When using the pipelined mode, it would be best to disable any type of
* buffering done by the user program, as ide-tape already provides all the
* benefits in the kernel, where it can be done in a more efficient way.
* As we will usually not block the user program on a request, the most
* efficient user code will then be a simple read-write-read-... cycle.
* Any additional logic will usually just slow down the backup process.
*
* Using the pipelined mode, I get a constant over 400 KBps throughput,
* which seems to be the maximum throughput supported by my tape.
*
* However, there are some downfalls:
*
* 1. We use memory (for data buffers) in proportional to the number
* of pipeline stages (each stage is about 26 KB with my tape).
* 2. In the pipelined write mode, we cheat and postpone error codes
* to the user task. In read mode, the actual tape position
* will be a bit further than the last requested block.
*
* Concerning (1):
*
* 1. We allocate stages dynamically only when we need them. When
* we don't need them, we don't consume additional memory. In
* case we can't allocate stages, we just manage without them
* (at the expense of decreased throughput) so when Linux is
* tight in memory, we will not pose additional difficulties.
*
* 2. The maximum number of stages (which is, in fact, the maximum
* amount of memory) which we allocate is limited by the compile
* time parameter IDETAPE_MAX_PIPELINE_STAGES.
*
* 3. The maximum number of stages is a controlled parameter - We
* don't start from the user defined maximum number of stages
* but from the lower IDETAPE_MIN_PIPELINE_STAGES (again, we
* will not even allocate this amount of stages if the user
* program can't handle the speed). We then implement a feedback
* loop which checks if the pipeline is empty, and if it is, we
* increase the maximum number of stages as necessary until we
* reach the optimum value which just manages to keep the tape
* busy with minimum allocated memory or until we reach
* IDETAPE_MAX_PIPELINE_STAGES.
*
* Concerning (2):
*
* In pipelined write mode, ide-tape can not return accurate error codes
* to the user program since we usually just add the request to the
* pipeline without waiting for it to be serviced. In case an error
* occurs, I will report it on the next user request.
*
* In the pipelined read mode, subsequent read requests or forward
* filemark spacing will perform correctly, as we preserve all blocks
* and filemarks which we encountered during our excess read-ahead.
*
* For accurate tape positioning and error reporting, disabling
* pipelined mode might be the best option.
*
* You can enable/disable/tune the pipelined operation mode by adjusting
* the compile time parameters below.
*
*
* Possible improvements.
*
* 1. Support for the ATAPI overlap protocol.
*
* In order to maximize bus throughput, we currently use the DSC
* overlap method which enables ide.c to service requests from the

Brightness hotkey notes:
These are the current sane choices for brightness key mapping in
thinkpad-acpi:
For IBM and Lenovo models *without* ACPI backlight control (the ones on
which thinkpad-acpi will autoload its backlight interface by default,
and on which ACPI video does not export a backlight interface):
1. Don't enable or map the brightness hotkeys in thinkpad-acpi, as
these older firmware versions unfortunately won't respect the hotkey
mask for brightness keys anyway, and always reacts to them. This
usually work fine, unless X.org drivers are doing something to block
the BIOS. In that case, use (3) below. This is the default mode of
operation.
2. Enable the hotkeys, but map them to something else that is NOT
KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP/DOWN or any other keycode that would cause
userspace to try to change the backlight level, and use that as an
on-screen-display hint.
3. IF AND ONLY IF X.org drivers find a way to block the firmware from
automatically changing the brightness, enable the hotkeys and map
them to KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP and KEY_BRIGHTNESS_DOWN, and feed that to
something that calls xbacklight. thinkpad-acpi will not be able to
change brightness in that case either, so you should disable its
backlight interface.
For Lenovo models *with* ACPI backlight control:
1. Load up ACPI video and use that. ACPI video will report ACPI
events for brightness change keys. Do not mess with thinkpad-acpi
defaults in this case. thinkpad-acpi should not have anything to do
with backlight events in a scenario where ACPI video is loaded:
brightness hotkeys must be disabled, and the backlight interface is
to be kept disabled as well. This is the default mode of operation.
2. Do *NOT* load up ACPI video, enable the hotkeys in thinkpad-acpi,
and map them to KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP and KEY_BRIGHTNESS_DOWN. Process
these keys on userspace somehow (e.g. by calling xbacklight).

The available commands are:
echo '<LED number> on' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo '<LED number> off' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo '<LED number> blink' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led
The <LED number> range is 0 to 7. The set of LEDs that can be
controlled varies from model to model. Here is the common ThinkPad
mapping:
0 - power
1 - battery (orange)
2 - battery (green)
3 - UltraBase
3 - UltraBase/dock
4 - UltraBay
5 - UltraBase battery slot
6 - (unknown)
7 - standby
All of the above can be turned on and off and can be made to blink.
sysfs notes:
The ThinkPad LED sysfs interface is described in detail by the LED class
documentation, in Documentation/leds-class.txt.
The leds are named (in LED ID order, from 0 to 7):
"tpacpi::power", "tpacpi:orange:batt", "tpacpi:green:batt",
"tpacpi::dock_active", "tpacpi::bay_active", "tpacpi::dock_batt",
"tpacpi::unknown_led", "tpacpi::standby".
Due to limitations in the sysfs LED class, if the status of the LED
indicators cannot be read due to an error, thinkpad-acpi will report it as
a brightness of zero (same as LED off).
If the thinkpad firmware doesn't support reading the current status,
trying to read the current LED brightness will just return whatever
brightness was last written to that attribute.
These LEDs can blink using hardware acceleration. To request that a
ThinkPad indicator LED should blink in hardware accelerated mode, use the
"timer" trigger, and leave the delay_on and delay_off parameters set to
zero (to request hardware acceleration autodetection).

ADD NEW HARD DISC TO WHITE OR BLACK LIST
----------------------------------------
Step 1 : detect the model name of your hard disc
a) connect your hard disc to the AU1XXX
b) boot your kernel and get the hard disc model.
Example boot log:
--snipped--
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2
ide: Assuming 50MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
Au1xxx IDE(builtin) configured for MWDMA2
Probing IDE interface ide0...
hda: Maxtor 6E040L0, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0xac800000-0xac800007,0xac8001c0 on irq 64
hda: max request size: 64KiB
hda: 80293248 sectors (41110 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, (U)DMA
--snipped--
In this example 'Maxtor 6E040L0'.
Step 2 : edit 'include/asm-mips/mach-au1x00/au1xxx_ide.h'
Add your hard disc to the dma_white_list or dma_black_list structur.
Step 3 : Recompile the kernel
Enable MWDMA support in the kernel configuration. Recompile the kernel and
reboot.
Step 4 : Tests
If you have add a hard disc to the white list, please run some stress tests
for verification.

@ -291,3 +291,39 @@ Writing a PHY driver
Feel free to look at the Marvell, Cicada, and Davicom drivers in

not been tested as of this writing)
Board Fixups
Sometimes the specific interaction between the platform and the PHY requires
special handling. For instance, to change where the PHY's clock input is,
or to add a delay to account for latency issues in the data path. In order
to support such contingencies, the PHY Layer allows platform code to register
fixups to be run when the PHY is brought up (or subsequently reset).
When the PHY Layer brings up a PHY it checks to see if there are any fixups
registered for it, matching based on UID (contained in the PHY device's phy_id
field) and the bus identifier (contained in phydev->dev.bus_id). Both must
match, however two constants, PHY_ANY_ID and PHY_ANY_UID, are provided as
wildcards for the bus ID and UID, respectively.
When a match is found, the PHY layer will invoke the run function associated
with the fixup. This function is passed a pointer to the phy_device of
interest. It should therefore only operate on that PHY.
The platform code can either register the fixup using phy_register_fixup():
int phy_register_fixup(const char *phy_id,
u32 phy_uid, u32 phy_uid_mask,
int (*run)(struct phy_device *));
Or using one of the two stubs, phy_register_fixup_for_uid() and
phy_register_fixup_for_id():
int phy_register_fixup_for_uid(u32 phy_uid, u32 phy_uid_mask,
int (*run)(struct phy_device *));
int phy_register_fixup_for_id(const char *phy_id,
int (*run)(struct phy_device *));
The stubs set one of the two matching criteria, and set the other one to
match anything.

Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com>
15 Apr 2008
Various notes on the implementation of KVM for PowerPC 440:
To enforce isolation, host userspace, guest kernel, and guest userspace all
run at user privilege level. Only the host kernel runs in supervisor mode.
Executing privileged instructions in the guest traps into KVM (in the host
kernel), where we decode and emulate them. Through this technique, unmodified
440 Linux kernels can be run (slowly) as guests. Future performance work will
focus on reducing the overhead and frequency of these traps.
The usual code flow is started from userspace invoking an "run" ioctl, which
causes KVM to switch into guest context. We use IVPR to hijack the host
interrupt vectors while running the guest, which allows us to direct all
interrupts to kvmppc_handle_interrupt(). At this point, we could either
- handle the interrupt completely (e.g. emulate "mtspr SPRG0"), or
- let the host interrupt handler run (e.g. when the decrementer fires), or
- return to host userspace (e.g. when the guest performs device MMIO)
Address spaces: We take advantage of the fact that Linux doesn't use the AS=1
address space (in host or guest), which gives us virtual address space to use
for guest mappings. While the guest is running, the host kernel remains mapped
in AS=0, but the guest can only use AS=1 mappings.
TLB entries: The TLB entries covering the host linear mapping remain
present while running the guest. This reduces the overhead of lightweight
exits, which are handled by KVM running in the host kernel. We keep three
copies of the TLB:
- guest TLB: contents of the TLB as the guest sees it
- shadow TLB: the TLB that is actually in hardware while guest is running
- host TLB: to restore TLB state when context switching guest -> host
When a TLB miss occurs because a mapping was not present in the shadow TLB,
but was present in the guest TLB, KVM handles the fault without invoking the
guest. Large guest pages are backed by multiple 4KB shadow pages through this
mechanism.
IO: MMIO and DCR accesses are emulated by userspace. We use virtio for network
and block IO, so those drivers must be enabled in the guest. It's possible
that some qemu device emulation (e.g. e1000 or rtl8139) may also work with
little effort.

*** BIG FAT WARNING ***
The kvm module is currently in EXPERIMENTAL state for s390. This means that
the interface to the module is not yet considered to remain stable. Thus, be
prepared that we keep breaking your userspace application and guest
compatibility over and over again until we feel happy with the result. Make sure
your guest kernel, your host kernel, and your userspace launcher are in a
consistent state.
This Documentation describes the unique ioctl calls to /dev/kvm, the resulting
kvm-vm file descriptors, and the kvm-vcpu file descriptors that differ from x86.
1. ioctl calls to /dev/kvm
KVM does support the following ioctls on s390 that are common with other
architectures and do behave the same:
KVM_GET_API_VERSION
KVM_CREATE_VM (*) see note
KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION
KVM_GET_VCPU_MMAP_SIZE
Notes:
* KVM_CREATE_VM may fail on s390, if the calling process has multiple
threads and has not called KVM_S390_ENABLE_SIE before.
In addition, on s390 the following architecture specific ioctls are supported:
ioctl: KVM_S390_ENABLE_SIE
args: none
see also: include/linux/kvm.h
This call causes the kernel to switch on PGSTE in the user page table. This
operation is needed in order to run a virtual machine, and it requires the
calling process to be single-threaded. Note that the first call to KVM_CREATE_VM
will implicitly try to switch on PGSTE if the user process has not called
KVM_S390_ENABLE_SIE before. User processes that want to launch multiple threads
before creating a virtual machine have to call KVM_S390_ENABLE_SIE, or will
observe an error calling KVM_CREATE_VM. Switching on PGSTE is a one-time
operation, is not reversible, and will persist over the entire lifetime of
the calling process. It does not have any user-visible effect other than a small
performance penalty.
2. ioctl calls to the kvm-vm file descriptor
KVM does support the following ioctls on s390 that are common with other
architectures and do behave the same:
KVM_CREATE_VCPU
KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION (*) see note
KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG (**) see note
Notes:
* kvm does only allow exactly one memory slot on s390, which has to start
at guest absolute address zero and at a user address that is aligned on any
page boundary. This hardware "limitation" allows us to have a few unique
optimizations. The memory slot doesn't have to be filled
with memory actually, it may contain sparse holes. That said, with different
user memory layout this does still allow a large flexibility when
doing the guest memory setup.
** KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG doesn't work properly yet. The user will receive an empty
log. This ioctl call is only needed for guest migration, and we intend to
implement this one in the future.
In addition, on s390 the following architecture specific ioctls for the kvm-vm
file descriptor are supported:
ioctl: KVM_S390_INTERRUPT
args: struct kvm_s390_interrupt *
see also: include/linux/kvm.h
This ioctl is used to submit a floating interrupt for a virtual machine.
Floating interrupts may be delivered to any virtual cpu in the configuration.
Only some interrupt types defined in include/linux/kvm.h make sense when
submitted as floating interrupts. The following interrupts are not considered
to be useful as floating interrupts, and a call to inject them will result in
-EINVAL error code: program interrupts and interprocessor signals. Valid
floating interrupts are:
KVM_S390_INT_VIRTIO
KVM_S390_INT_SERVICE
3. ioctl calls to the kvm-vcpu file descriptor
KVM does support the following ioctls on s390 that are common with other
architectures and do behave the same:
KVM_RUN
KVM_GET_REGS
KVM_SET_REGS
KVM_GET_SREGS
KVM_SET_SREGS
KVM_GET_FPU
KVM_SET_FPU
In addition, on s390 the following architecture specific ioctls for the
kvm-vcpu file descriptor are supported:
ioctl: KVM_S390_INTERRUPT
args: struct kvm_s390_interrupt *
see also: include/linux/kvm.h
This ioctl is used to submit an interrupt for a specific virtual cpu.
Only some interrupt types defined in include/linux/kvm.h make sense when
submitted for a specific cpu. The following interrupts are not considered
to be useful, and a call to inject them will result in -EINVAL error code:
service processor calls and virtio interrupts. Valid interrupt types are:
KVM_S390_PROGRAM_INT
KVM_S390_SIGP_STOP
KVM_S390_RESTART
KVM_S390_SIGP_SET_PREFIX
KVM_S390_INT_EMERGENCY
ioctl: KVM_S390_STORE_STATUS
args: unsigned long
see also: include/linux/kvm.h
This ioctl stores the state of the cpu at the guest real address given as
argument, unless one of the following values defined in include/linux/kvm.h
is given as arguement:
KVM_S390_STORE_STATUS_NOADDR - the CPU stores its status to the save area in
absolute lowcore as defined by the principles of operation
KVM_S390_STORE_STATUS_PREFIXED - the CPU stores its status to the save area in
its prefix page just like the dump tool that comes with zipl. This is useful
to create a system dump for use with lkcdutils or crash.
ioctl: KVM_S390_SET_INITIAL_PSW
args: struct kvm_s390_psw *
see also: include/linux/kvm.h
This ioctl can be used to set the processor status word (psw) of a stopped cpu
prior to running it with KVM_RUN. Note that this call is not required to modify
the psw during sie intercepts that fall back to userspace because struct kvm_run
does contain the psw, and this value is evaluated during reentry of KVM_RUN
after the intercept exit was recognized.
ioctl: KVM_S390_INITIAL_RESET
args: none
see also: include/linux/kvm.h
This ioctl can be used to perform an initial cpu reset as defined by the
principles of operation. The target cpu has to be in stopped state.

Goals, Design and Implementation of the
new ultra-scalable O(1) scheduler
This is an edited version of an email Ingo Molnar sent to
lkml on 4 Jan 2002. It describes the goals, design, and
implementation of Ingo's new ultra-scalable O(1) scheduler.
Last Updated: 18 April 2002.
Goal
====
The main goal of the new scheduler is to keep all the good things we know
and love about the current Linux scheduler:
- good interactive performance even during high load: if the user
types or clicks then the system must react instantly and must execute
the user tasks smoothly, even during considerable background load.
- good scheduling/wakeup performance with 1-2 runnable processes.
- fairness: no process should stay without any timeslice for any
unreasonable amount of time. No process should get an unjustly high
amount of CPU time.
- priorities: less important tasks can be started with lower priority,
more important tasks with higher priority.
- SMP efficiency: no CPU should stay idle if there is work to do.
- SMP affinity: processes which run on one CPU should stay affine to
that CPU. Processes should not bounce between CPUs too frequently.
- plus additional scheduler features: RT scheduling, CPU binding.
and the goal is also to add a few new things:
- fully O(1) scheduling. Are you tired of the recalculation loop
blowing the L1 cache away every now and then? Do you think the goodness
loop is taking a bit too long to finish if there are lots of runnable
processes? This new scheduler takes no prisoners: wakeup(), schedule(),
the timer interrupt are all O(1) algorithms. There is no recalculation
loop. There is no goodness loop either.
- 'perfect' SMP scalability. With the new scheduler there is no 'big'
runqueue_lock anymore - it's all per-CPU runqueues and locks - two
tasks on two separate CPUs can wake up, schedule and context-switch
completely in parallel, without any interlocking. All
scheduling-relevant data is structured for maximum scalability.
- better SMP affinity. The old scheduler has a particular weakness that
causes the random bouncing of tasks between CPUs if/when higher
priority/interactive tasks, this was observed and reported by many
people. The reason is that the timeslice recalculation loop first needs
every currently running task to consume its timeslice. But when this
happens on eg. an 8-way system, then this property starves an
increasing number of CPUs from executing any process. Once the last
task that has a timeslice left has finished using up that timeslice,
the recalculation loop is triggered and other CPUs can start executing
tasks again - after having idled around for a number of timer ticks.
The more CPUs, the worse this effect.
Furthermore, this same effect causes the bouncing effect as well:
whenever there is such a 'timeslice squeeze' of the global runqueue,
idle processors start executing tasks which are not affine to that CPU.
(because the affine tasks have finished off their timeslices already.)
The new scheduler solves this problem by distributing timeslices on a
per-CPU basis, without having any global synchronization or
recalculation.
- batch scheduling. A significant proportion of computing-intensive tasks
benefit from batch-scheduling, where timeslices are long and processes
are roundrobin scheduled. The new scheduler does such batch-scheduling
of the lowest priority tasks - so nice +19 jobs will get
'batch-scheduled' automatically. With this scheduler, nice +19 jobs are
in essence SCHED_IDLE, from an interactiveness point of view.
- handle extreme loads more smoothly, without breakdown and scheduling
storms.
- O(1) RT scheduling. For those RT folks who are paranoid about the
O(nr_running) property of the goodness loop and the recalculation loop.
- run fork()ed children before the parent. Andrea has pointed out the
advantages of this a few months ago, but patches for this feature
do not work with the old scheduler as well as they should,
because idle processes often steal the new child before the fork()ing
CPU gets to execute it.
Design
======
The core of the new scheduler contains the following mechanisms:
- *two* priority-ordered 'priority arrays' per CPU. There is an 'active'
array and an 'expired' array. The active array contains all tasks that
are affine to this CPU and have timeslices left. The expired array
contains all tasks which have used up their timeslices - but this array
is kept sorted as well. The active and expired array is not accessed
directly, it's accessed through two pointers in the per-CPU runqueue
structure. If all active tasks are used up then we 'switch' the two
pointers and from now on the ready-to-go (former-) expired array is the
active array - and the empty active array serves as the new collector
for expired tasks.
- there is a 64-bit bitmap cache for array indices. Finding the highest
priority task is thus a matter of two x86 BSFL bit-search instructions.
the split-array solution enables us to have an arbitrary number of active
and expired tasks, and the recalculation of timeslices can be done
immediately when the timeslice expires. Because the arrays are always
access through the pointers in the runqueue, switching the two arrays can
be done very quickly.
this is a hybride priority-list approach coupled with roundrobin
scheduling and the array-switch method of distributing timeslices.
- there is a per-task 'load estimator'.
one of the toughest things to get right is good interactive feel during
heavy system load. While playing with various scheduler variants i found
that the best interactive feel is achieved not by 'boosting' interactive
tasks, but by 'punishing' tasks that want to use more CPU time than there
is available. This method is also much easier to do in an O(1) fashion.
to establish the actual 'load' the task contributes to the system, a
complex-looking but pretty accurate method is used: there is a 4-entry
'history' ringbuffer of the task's activities during the last 4 seconds.
This ringbuffer is operated without much overhead. The entries tell the
scheduler a pretty accurate load-history of the task: has it used up more
CPU time or less during the past N seconds. [the size '4' and the interval
of 4x 1 seconds was found by lots of experimentation - this part is
flexible and can be changed in both directions.]
the penalty a task gets for generating more load than the CPU can handle
is a priority decrease - there is a maximum amount to this penalty
relative to their static priority, so even fully CPU-bound tasks will
observe each other's priorities, and will share the CPU accordingly.
the SMP load-balancer can be extended/switched with additional parallel
computing and cache hierarchy concepts: NUMA scheduling, multi-core CPUs
can be supported easily by changing the load-balancer. Right now it's
tuned for my SMP systems.
i skipped the prev->mm == next->mm advantage - no workload i know of shows
any sensitivity to this. It can be added back by sacrificing O(1)
schedule() [the current and one-lower priority list can be searched for a
that->mm == current->mm condition], but costs a fair number of cycles
during a number of important workloads, so i wanted to avoid this as much
as possible.
- the SMP idle-task startup code was still racy and the new scheduler
triggered this. So i streamlined the idle-setup code a bit. We do not call
into schedule() before all processors have started up fully and all idle
threads are in place.
- the patch also cleans up a number of aspects of sched.c - moves code
into other areas of the kernel where it's appropriate, and simplifies
certain code paths and data constructs. As a result, the new scheduler's
code is smaller than the old one.

Smart CONFIG_* Dependencies
1 August 1999
Michael Chastain <mec@shout.net>
Werner Almesberger <almesber@lrc.di.epfl.ch>
Martin von Loewis <martin@mira.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de>
Here is the problem:
Suppose that drivers/net/foo.c has the following lines:
#include <linux/config.h>
...
#ifdef CONFIG_FOO_AUTOFROB
/* Code for auto-frobbing */
#else
/* Manual frobbing only */
#endif
...
#ifdef CONFIG_FOO_MODEL_TWO
/* Code for model two */
#endif
Now suppose the user (the person building kernels) reconfigures the
kernel to change some unrelated setting. This will regenerate the
file include/linux/autoconf.h, which will cause include/linux/config.h
to be out of date, which will cause drivers/net/foo.c to be recompiled.
Most kernel sources, perhaps 80% of them, have at least one CONFIG_*
dependency somewhere. So changing _any_ CONFIG_* setting requires
almost _all_ of the kernel to be recompiled.
Here is the solution:
We've made the dependency generator, mkdep.c, smarter. Instead of
generating this dependency:
drivers/net/foo.c: include/linux/config.h
It now generates these dependencies:
drivers/net/foo.c: \
include/config/foo/autofrob.h \
include/config/foo/model/two.h
So drivers/net/foo.c depends only on the CONFIG_* lines that
it actually uses.
A new program, split-include.c, runs at the beginning of
compilation (make bzImage or make zImage). split-include reads
include/linux/autoconf.h and updates the include/config/ tree,
writing one file per option. It updates only the files for options
that have changed.
Flag Dependencies
Martin Von Loewis contributed another feature to this patch:
'flag dependencies'. The idea is that a .o file depends on
the compilation flags used to build it. The file foo.o has
its flags stored in .flags.foo.o.
Suppose the user changes the foo driver from resident to modular.
'make' will notice that the current foo.o was not compiled with
-DMODULE and will recompile foo.c.
All .o files made from C source have flag dependencies. So do .o
files made with ld, and .a files made with ar. However, .o files
made from assembly source do not have flag dependencies (nobody
needs this yet, but it would be good to fix).
Per-source-file Flags
Flag dependencies also work with per-source-file flags.
You can specify compilation flags for individual source files
like this:
CFLAGS_foo.o = -DSPECIAL_FOO_DEFINE
This helps clean up drivers/net/Makefile, drivers/scsi/Makefile,
and several other Makefiles.
Credit
Werner Almesberger had the original idea and wrote the first
version of this patch.
Michael Chastain picked it up and continued development. He is
now the principal author and maintainer. Please report any bugs
to him.
Martin von Loewis wrote flag dependencies, with some modifications
by Michael Chastain.
Thanks to all of the beta testers.

What is anchor?
===============
A USB driver needs to support some callbacks requiring
a driver to cease all IO to an interface. To do so, a
driver has to keep track of the URBs it has submitted
to know they've all completed or to call usb_kill_urb
for them. The anchor is a data structure takes care of
keeping track of URBs and provides methods to deal with
multiple URBs.
Allocation and Initialisation
=============================
There's no API to allocate an anchor. It is simply declared
as struct usb_anchor. init_usb_anchor() must be called to
initialise the data structure.
Deallocation
============
Once it has no more URBs associated with it, the anchor can be
freed with normal memory management operations.
Association and disassociation of URBs with anchors
===================================================
An association of URBs to an anchor is made by an explicit
call to usb_anchor_urb(). The association is maintained until
an URB is finished by (successfull) completion. Thus disassociation
is automatic. A function is provided to forcibly finish (kill)
all URBs associated with an anchor.
Furthermore, disassociation can be made with usb_unanchor_urb()
Operations on multitudes of URBs
================================
usb_kill_anchored_urbs()
------------------------
This function kills all URBs associated with an anchor. The URBs
are called in the reverse temporal order they were submitted.
This way no data can be reordered.
usb_wait_anchor_empty_timeout()
-------------------------------
This function waits for all URBs associated with an anchor to finish
or a timeout, whichever comes first. Its return value will tell you
whether the timeout was reached.

What callbacks will usbcore do?
===============================
Usbcore will call into a driver through callbacks defined in the driver
structure and through the completion handler of URBs a driver submits.
Only the former are in the scope of this document. These two kinds of
callbacks are completely independent of each other. Information on the
completion callback can be found in Documentation/usb/URB.txt.
The callbacks defined in the driver structure are:
1. Hotplugging callbacks:
* @probe: Called to see if the driver is willing to manage a particular
* interface on a device.
* @disconnect: Called when the interface is no longer accessible, usually
* because its device has been (or is being) disconnected or the
* driver module is being unloaded.
2. Odd backdoor through usbfs:
* @ioctl: Used for drivers that want to talk to userspace through
* the "usbfs" filesystem. This lets devices provide ways to
* expose information to user space regardless of where they
* do (or don't) show up otherwise in the filesystem.
3. Power management (PM) callbacks:
* @suspend: Called when the device is going to be suspended.
* @resume: Called when the device is being resumed.
* @reset_resume: Called when the suspended device has been reset instead
* of being resumed.
4. Device level operations:
* @pre_reset: Called when the device is about to be reset.
* @post_reset: Called after the device has been reset
The ioctl interface (2) should be used only if you have a very good
reason. Sysfs is preferred these days. The PM callbacks are covered
separately in Documentation/usb/power-management.txt.
Calling conventions
===================
All callbacks are mutually exclusive. There's no need for locking
against other USB callbacks. All callbacks are called from a task
context. You may sleep. However, it is important that all sleeps have a
small fixed upper limit in time. In particular you must not call out to
user space and await results.
Hotplugging callbacks
=====================
These callbacks are intended to associate and disassociate a driver with
an interface. A driver's bond to an interface is exclusive.
The probe() callback
--------------------
int (*probe) (struct usb_interface *intf,
const struct usb_device_id *id);
Accept or decline an interface. If you accept the device return 0,
otherwise -ENODEV or -ENXIO. Other error codes should be used only if a
genuine error occurred during initialisation which prevented a driver
from accepting a device that would else have been accepted.
You are strongly encouraged to use usbcore'sfacility,
usb_set_intfdata(), to associate a data structure with an interface, so
that you know which internal state and identity you associate with a
particular interface. The device will not be suspended and you may do IO
to the interface you are called for and endpoint 0 of the device. Device
initialisation that doesn't take too long is a good idea here.
The disconnect() callback
-------------------------
void (*disconnect) (struct usb_interface *intf);
This callback is a signal to break any connection with an interface.
You are not allowed any IO to a device after returning from this
callback. You also may not do any other operation that may interfere
with another driver bound the interface, eg. a power management
operation.
If you are called due to a physical disconnection, all your URBs will be
killed by usbcore. Note that in this case disconnect will be called some
time after the physical disconnection. Thus your driver must be prepared
to deal with failing IO even prior to the callback.
Device level callbacks
======================
pre_reset
---------
int (*pre_reset)(struct usb_interface *intf);
Another driver or user space is triggering a reset on the device which
contains the interface passed as an argument. Cease IO and save any
device state you need to restore.
If you need to allocate memory here, use GFP_NOIO or GFP_ATOMIC, if you
are in atomic context.
post_reset
----------
int (*post_reset)(struct usb_interface *intf);
The reset has completed. Restore any saved device state and begin
using the device again.
If you need to allocate memory here, use GFP_NOIO or GFP_ATOMIC, if you
are in atomic context.
Call sequences
==============
No callbacks other than probe will be invoked for an interface
that isn't bound to your driver.
Probe will never be called for an interface bound to a driver.
Hence following a successful probe, disconnect will be called
before there is another probe for the same interface.
Once your driver is bound to an interface, disconnect can be
called at any time except in between pre_reset and post_reset.
pre_reset is always followed by post_reset, even if the reset
failed or the device has been unplugged.
suspend is always followed by one of: resume, reset_resume, or
disconnect.

Some notes regarding the cx18 driver for the Conexant CX23418 MPEG
encoder chip:
1) The only hardware currently supported is the Hauppauge HVR-1600.
2) Some people have problems getting the i2c bus to work. Cause unknown.
The symptom is that the eeprom cannot be read and the card is
unusable.
3) The audio from the analog tuner is mono only. Probably caused by
incorrect audio register information in the datasheet. We are
waiting for updated information from Conexant.
4) VBI (raw or sliced) has not yet been implemented.
5) MPEG indexing is not yet implemented.
6) The driver is still a bit rough around the edges, this should
improve over time.
Firmware:
The firmware needs to be extracted from the Windows Hauppauge HVR-1600
driver, available here:
http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/software/install_cd/hauppauge_cd_3.4d1.zip
Unzip, then copy the following files to the firmware directory
and rename them as follows:
Drivers/Driver18/hcw18apu.rom -> v4l-cx23418-apu.fw
Drivers/Driver18/hcw18enc.rom -> v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw

Components of Memory Policies
A Linux memory policy is a tuple consisting of a "mode" and an optional set
of nodes. The mode determine the behavior of the policy, while the
optional set of nodes can be viewed as the arguments to the behavior.
A Linux memory policy consists of a "mode", optional mode flags, and an
optional set of nodes. The mode determines the behavior of the policy,
the optional mode flags determine the behavior of the mode, and the
optional set of nodes can be viewed as the arguments to the policy
behavior.
Internally, memory policies are implemented by a reference counted
structure, struct mempolicy. Details of this structure will be discussed
in context, below, as required to explain the behavior.
Note: in some functions AND in the struct mempolicy itself, the mode
is called "policy". However, to avoid confusion with the policy tuple,
this document will continue to use the term "mode".
Linux memory policy supports the following 4 behavioral modes:
Default Mode--MPOL_DEFAULT: The behavior specified by this mode is
context or scope dependent.
Default Mode--MPOL_DEFAULT: This mode is only used in the memory
policy APIs. Internally, MPOL_DEFAULT is converted to the NULL
memory policy in all policy scopes. Any existing non-default policy
will simply be removed when MPOL_DEFAULT is specified. As a result,
MPOL_DEFAULT means "fall back to the next most specific policy scope."
As mentioned in the Policy Scope section above, during normal
system operation, the System Default Policy is hard coded to
contain the Default mode.
For example, a NULL or default task policy will fall back to the
system default policy. A NULL or default vma policy will fall
back to the task policy.
In this context, default mode means "local" allocation--that is
attempt to allocate the page from the node associated with the cpu
where the fault occurs. If the "local" node has no memory, or the
node's memory can be exhausted [no free pages available], local
allocation will "fallback to"--attempt to allocate pages from--
"nearby" nodes, in order of increasing "distance".
When specified in one of the memory policy APIs, the Default mode
does not use the optional set of nodes.
Implementation detail -- subject to change: "Fallback" uses
a per node list of sibling nodes--called zonelists--built at
boot time, or when nodes or memory are added or removed from
the system [memory hotplug]. These per node zonelist are
constructed with nodes in order of increasing distance based
on information provided by the platform firmware.
When a task/process policy or a shared policy contains the Default
mode, this also means "local allocation", as described above.
In the context of a VMA, Default mode means "fall back to task
policy"--which may or may not specify Default mode. Thus, Default
mode can not be counted on to mean local allocation when used
on a non-shared region of the address space. However, see
MPOL_PREFERRED below.
The Default mode does not use the optional set of nodes.
It is an error for the set of nodes specified for this policy to
be non-empty.
MPOL_BIND: This mode specifies that memory must come from the
set of nodes specified by the policy.
The memory policy APIs do not specify an order in which the nodes
will be searched. However, unlike "local allocation", the Bind
policy does not consider the distance between the nodes. Rather,
allocations will fallback to the nodes specified by the policy in
order of numeric node id. Like everything in Linux, this is subject
to change.
set of nodes specified by the policy. Memory will be allocated from
the node in the set with sufficient free memory that is closest to
the node where the allocation takes place.
MPOL_PREFERRED: This mode specifies that the allocation should be
attempted from the single node specified in the policy. If that
allocation fails, the kernel will search other nodes, exactly as
it would for a local allocation that started at the preferred node
in increasing distance from the preferred node. "Local" allocation
policy can be viewed as a Preferred policy that starts at the node
allocation fails, the kernel will search other nodes, in order of
increasing distance from the preferred node based on information
provided by the platform firmware.
containing the cpu where the allocation takes place.
Internally, the Preferred policy uses a single node--the
preferred_node member of struct mempolicy. A "distinguished
value of this preferred_node, currently '-1', is interpreted
as "the node containing the cpu where the allocation takes
place"--local allocation. This is the way to specify
local allocation for a specific range of addresses--i.e. for
VMA policies.
preferred_node member of struct mempolicy. When the internal
mode flag MPOL_F_LOCAL is set, the preferred_node is ignored and
the policy is interpreted as local allocation. "Local" allocation
policy can be viewed as a Preferred policy that starts at the node
containing the cpu where the allocation takes place.
It is possible for the user to specify that local allocation is
always preferred by passing an empty nodemask with this mode.
If an empty nodemask is passed, the policy cannot use the
MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES or MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flags described
below.
MPOL_INTERLEAVED: This mode specifies that page allocations be
interleaved, on a page granularity, across the nodes specified in
@ -231,6 +212,154 @@ Components of Memory Policies
the temporary interleaved system default policy works in this
mode.
Linux memory policy supports the following optional mode flags:
MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES: This flag specifies that the nodemask passed by
the user should not be remapped if the task or VMA's set of allowed
nodes changes after the memory policy has been defined.
Without this flag, anytime a mempolicy is rebound because of a
change in the set of allowed nodes, the node (Preferred) or
nodemask (Bind, Interleave) is remapped to the new set of
allowed nodes. This may result in nodes being used that were
previously undesired.
With this flag, if the user-specified nodes overlap with the
nodes allowed by the task's cpuset, then the memory policy is
applied to their intersection. If the two sets of nodes do not
overlap, the Default policy is used.
For example, consider a task that is attached to a cpuset with
mems 1-3 that sets an Interleave policy over the same set. If
the cpuset's mems change to 3-5, the Interleave will now occur
over nodes 3, 4, and 5. With this flag, however, since only node
3 is allowed from the user's nodemask, the "interleave" only
occurs over that node. If no nodes from the user's nodemask are
now allowed, the Default behavior is used.
MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES cannot be combined with the
MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flag. It also cannot be used for
MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask
(local allocation).
MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES: This flag specifies that the nodemask passed
by the user will be mapped relative to the set of the task or VMA's
set of allowed nodes. The kernel stores the user-passed nodemask,
and if the allowed nodes changes, then that original nodemask will
be remapped relative to the new set of allowed nodes.
Without this flag (and without MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES), anytime a
mempolicy is rebound because of a change in the set of allowed
nodes, the node (Preferred) or nodemask (Bind, Interleave) is
remapped to the new set of allowed nodes. That remap may not
preserve the relative nature of the user's passed nodemask to its
set of allowed nodes upon successive rebinds: a nodemask of
1,3,5 may be remapped to 7-9 and then to 1-3 if the set of
allowed nodes is restored to its original state.
With this flag, the remap is done so that the node numbers from
the user's passed nodemask are relative to the set of allowed
nodes. In other words, if nodes 0, 2, and 4 are set in the user's
nodemask, the policy will be effected over the first (and in the
Bind or Interleave case, the third and fifth) nodes in the set of
allowed nodes. The nodemask passed by the user represents nodes
relative to task or VMA's set of allowed nodes.
If the user's nodemask includes nodes that are outside the range
of the new set of allowed nodes (for example, node 5 is set in
the user's nodemask when the set of allowed nodes is only 0-3),
then the remap wraps around to the beginning of the nodemask and,
if not already set, sets the node in the mempolicy nodemask.
For example, consider a task that is attached to a cpuset with
mems 2-5 that sets an Interleave policy over the same set with
MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES. If the cpuset's mems change to 3-7, the
interleave now occurs over nodes 3,5-6. If the cpuset's mems
then change to 0,2-3,5, then the interleave occurs over nodes
0,3,5.
Thanks to the consistent remapping, applications preparing
nodemasks to specify memory policies using this flag should
disregard their current, actual cpuset imposed memory placement
and prepare the nodemask as if they were always located on
memory nodes 0 to N-1, where N is the number of memory nodes the
policy is intended to manage. Let the kernel then remap to the
set of memory nodes allowed by the task's cpuset, as that may
change over time.
MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES cannot be combined with the
MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES flag. It also cannot be used for
MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask
(local allocation).
MEMORY POLICY REFERENCE COUNTING
To resolve use/free races, struct mempolicy contains an atomic reference
count field. Internal interfaces, mpol_get()/mpol_put() increment and
decrement this reference count, respectively. mpol_put() will only free
the structure back to the mempolicy kmem cache when the reference count
goes to zero.
When a new memory policy is allocated, it's reference count is initialized
to '1', representing the reference held by the task that is installing the
new policy. When a pointer to a memory policy structure is stored in another
structure, another reference is added, as the task's reference will be dropped
on completion of the policy installation.
During run-time "usage" of the policy, we attempt to minimize atomic operations
on the reference count, as this can lead to cache lines bouncing between cpus
and NUMA nodes. "Usage" here means one of the following:
1) querying of the policy, either by the task itself [using the get_mempolicy()
API discussed below] or by another task using the /proc/<pid>/numa_maps
interface.
2) examination of the policy to determine the policy mode and associated node
or node lists, if any, for page allocation. This is considered a "hot
path". Note that for MPOL_BIND, the "usage" extends across the entire
allocation process, which may sleep during page reclaimation, because the
BIND policy nodemask is used, by reference, to filter ineligible nodes.
We can avoid taking an extra reference during the usages listed above as
follows:
1) we never need to get/free the system default policy as this is never
changed nor freed, once the system is up and running.
2) for querying the policy, we do not need to take an extra reference on the
target task's task policy nor vma policies because we always acquire the
task's mm's mmap_sem for read during the query. The set_mempolicy() and
mbind() APIs [see below] always acquire the mmap_sem for write when
installing or replacing task or vma policies. Thus, there is no possibility
of a task or thread freeing a policy while another task or thread is
querying it.
3) Page allocation usage of task or vma policy occurs in the fault path where
we hold them mmap_sem for read. Again, because replacing the task or vma
policy requires that the mmap_sem be held for write, the policy can't be
freed out from under us while we're using it for page allocation.
4) Shared policies require special consideration. One task can replace a
shared memory policy while another task, with a distinct mmap_sem, is
querying or allocating a page based on the policy. To resolve this
potential race, the shared policy infrastructure adds an extra reference
to the shared policy during lookup while holding a spin lock on the shared
policy management structure. This requires that we drop this extra
reference when we're finished "using" the policy. We must drop the
extra reference on shared policies in the same query/allocation paths
used for non-shared policies. For this reason, shared policies are marked
as such, and the extra reference is dropped "conditionally"--i.e., only
for shared policies.
Because of this extra reference counting, and because we must lookup
shared policies in a tree structure under spinlock, shared policies are
more expensive to use in the page allocation path. This is expecially
true for shared policies on shared memory regions shared by tasks running
on different NUMA nodes. This extra overhead can be avoided by always
falling back to task or system default policy for shared memory regions,
or by prefaulting the entire shared memory region into memory and locking
it down. However, this might not be appropriate for all applications.

@ -303,29 +434,19 @@ MEMORY POLICIES AND CPUSETS
Memory policies work within cpusets as described above. For memory policies
that require a node or set of nodes, the nodes are restricted to the set of
nodes whose memories are allowed by the cpuset constraints. If the nodemask
specified for the policy contains nodes that are not allowed by the cpuset, or
the intersection of the set of nodes specified for the policy and the set of
nodes with memory is the empty set, the policy is considered invalid
and cannot be installed.
specified for the policy contains nodes that are not allowed by the cpuset and
MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES is not used, the intersection of the set of nodes
specified for the policy and the set of nodes with memory is used. If the
result is the empty set, the policy is considered invalid and cannot be
installed. If MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES is used, the policy's nodes are mapped
onto and folded into the task's set of allowed nodes as previously described.
The interaction of memory policies and cpusets can be problematic for a
couple of reasons:
1) the memory policy APIs take physical node id's as arguments. As mentioned
above, it is illegal to specify nodes that are not allowed in the cpuset.
The application must query the allowed nodes using the get_mempolicy()
API with the MPOL_F_MEMS_ALLOWED flag to determine the allowed nodes and
restrict itself to those nodes. However, the resources available to a
cpuset can be changed by the system administrator, or a workload manager
application, at any time. So, a task may still get errors attempting to
specify policy nodes, and must query the allowed memories again.
2) when tasks in two cpusets share access to a memory region, such as shared
memory segments created by shmget() of mmap() with the MAP_ANONYMOUS and
MAP_SHARED flags, and any of the tasks install shared policy on the region,
only nodes whose memories are allowed in both cpusets may be used in the
policies. Obtaining this information requires "stepping outside" the
memory policy APIs to use the cpuset information and requires that one
know in what cpusets other task might be attaching to the shared region.
Furthermore, if the cpusets' allowed memory sets are disjoint, "local"
allocation is the only valid policy.
