+Description:
+		This directory exposes interfaces for interactive with
+		EFI variables.  For more information on EFI variables,
+		see 'Variable Services' in the UEFI specification
+		(section 7.2 in specification version 2.3 Errata D).
+
+		In summary, EFI variables are named, and are classified
+		into separate namespaces through the use of a vendor
+		GUID.  They also have an arbitrary binary value
+		associated with them.
+
+		The efivars module enumerates these variables and
+		creates a separate directory for each one found.  Each
+		directory has a name of the form "<key>-<vendor guid>"
+		and contains the following files:
+
+		attributes:	A read-only text file enumerating the
+				EFI variable flags.  Potential values
+				include:
+
+				EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE
+				EFI_VARIABLE_BOOTSERVICE_ACCESS
+				EFI_VARIABLE_RUNTIME_ACCESS
+				EFI_VARIABLE_HARDWARE_ERROR_RECORD
+				EFI_VARIABLE_AUTHENTICATED_WRITE_ACCESS
+
+				See the EFI documentation for an
+				explanation of each of these variables.
+
+		data:		A read-only binary file that can be read
+				to attain the value of the EFI variable
+
+		guid:		The vendor GUID of the variable.  This
+				should always match the GUID in the
+				variable's name.
+
+		raw_var:	A binary file that can be read to obtain
+				a structure that contains everything
+				there is to know about the variable.
+				For structure definition see "struct
+				efi_variable" in the kernel sources.
+
+				This file can also be written to in
+				order to update the value of a variable.
+				For this to work however, all fields of
+				the "struct efi_variable" passed must
+				match byte for byte with the structure
+				read out of the file, save for the value
+				portion.
+
+				**Note** the efi_variable structure
+				read/written with this file contains a
+				'long' type that may change widths
+				depending on your underlying
+				architecture.
+
+		size:		As ASCII representation of the size of
+				the variable's value.
+
+
+		In addition, two other magic binary files are provided
+		in the top-level directory and are used for adding and
+		removing variables:
+
+		new_var:	Takes a "struct efi_variable" and
+				instructs the EFI firmware to create a
+				new variable.
+
+		del_var:	Takes a "struct efi_variable" and
+				instructs the EFI firmware to remove any
+				variable that has a matching vendor GUID
+				and variable key name.

+Description:	Generic interface to platform dependent persistent storage.
+
+		Platforms that provide a mechanism to preserve some data
+		across system reboots can register with this driver to
+		provide a generic interface to show records captured in
+		the dying moments.  In the case of a panic the last part
+		of the console log is captured, but other interesting
+		data can also be saved.
+

+
+		$ ls -l /dev/pstore
+		total 0
+		-r--r--r-- 1 root root 7896 Nov 30 15:38 dmesg-erst-1
+
+		Different users of this interface will result in different
+		filename prefixes.  Currently two are defined:
+
+		"dmesg"	- saved console log
+		"mce"	- architecture dependent data from fatal h/w error
+
+		Once the information in a file has been read, removing
+		the file will signal to the underlying persistent storage
+		device that it can reclaim the space for later re-use.
+
+		$ rm /dev/pstore/dmesg-erst-1
+
+		The expectation is that all files in /dev/pstore
+		will be saved elsewhere and erased from persistent store
+		soon after boot to free up space ready for the next
+		catastrophe.
+
+		The 'kmsg_bytes' mount option changes the target amount of
+		data saved on each oops/panic. Pstore saves (possibly
+		multiple) files based on the record size of the underlying
+		persistent storage until at least this amount is reached.
+		Default is 10 Kbytes.

+What:		/sys/firmware/dmi/
+Date:		February 2011
+Contact:	Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com>
+Description:
+		Many machines' firmware (x86 and ia64) export DMI /
+		SMBIOS tables to the operating system.  Getting at this
+		information is often valuable to userland, especially in
+		cases where there are OEM extensions used.
+
+		The kernel itself does not rely on the majority of the
+		information in these tables being correct.  It equally
+		cannot ensure that the data as exported to userland is
+		without error either.
+
+		DMI is structured as a large table of entries, where
+		each entry has a common header indicating the type and
+		length of the entry, as well as 'handle' that is
+		supposed to be unique amongst all entries.
+
+		Some entries are required by the specification, but many
+		others are optional.  In general though, users should
+		never expect to find a specific entry type on their
+		system unless they know for certain what their firmware
+		is doing.  Machine to machine will vary.
+
+		Multiple entries of the same type are allowed.  In order
+		to handle these duplicate entry types, each entry is
+		assigned by the operating system an 'instance', which is
+		derived from an entry type's ordinal position.  That is
+		to say, if there are 'N' multiple entries with the same type
+		'T' in the DMI tables (adjacent or spread apart, it
+		doesn't matter), they will be represented in sysfs as
+		entries "T-0" through "T-(N-1)":
+
+		Example entry directories:
+
+			/sys/firmware/dmi/entries/17-0
+			/sys/firmware/dmi/entries/17-1
+			/sys/firmware/dmi/entries/17-2
+			/sys/firmware/dmi/entries/17-3
+			...
+
+		Instance numbers are used in lieu of the firmware
+		assigned entry handles as the kernel itself makes no
+		guarantees that handles as exported are unique, and
+		there are likely firmware images that get this wrong in
+		the wild.
+
+		Each DMI entry in sysfs has the common header values
+		exported as attributes:
+
+		handle	: The 16bit 'handle' that is assigned to this
+			  entry by the firmware.  This handle may be
+			  referred to by other entries.
+		length	: The length of the entry, as presented in the
+			  entry itself.  Note that this is _not the
+			  total count of bytes associated with the
+			  entry_.  This value represents the length of
+			  the "formatted" portion of the entry.  This
+			  "formatted" region is sometimes followed by
+			  the "unformatted" region composed of nul
+			  terminated strings, with termination signalled
+			  by a two nul characters in series.
+		raw	: The raw bytes of the entry. This includes the
+			  "formatted" portion of the entry, the
+			  "unformatted" strings portion of the entry,
+			  and the two terminating nul characters.
+		type	: The type of the entry.  This value is the same
+			  as found in the directory name.  It indicates
+			  how the rest of the entry should be
+			  interpreted.
+		instance: The instance ordinal of the entry for the
+			  given type.  This value is the same as found
+			  in the parent directory name.
+		position: The position of the entry within the entirety
+			  of the entirety.
+
+		=== Entry Specialization ===
+
+		Some entry types may have other information available in
+		sysfs.
+
+		--- Type 15 - System Event Log ---
+
+		This entry allows the firmware to export a log of
+		events the system has taken.  This information is
+		typically backed by nvram, but the implementation
+		details are abstracted by this table.  This entries data
+		is exported in the directory:
+
+		/sys/firmware/dmi/entries/15-0/system_event_log
+
+		and has the following attributes (documented in the
+		SMBIOS / DMI specification under "System Event Log (Type 15)":
+
+		area_length
+		header_start_offset
+		data_start_offset
+		access_method
+		status
+		change_token
+		access_method_address
+		header_format
+		per_log_type_descriptor_length
+		type_descriptors_supported_count
+
+		As well, the kernel exports the binary attribute:
+
+		raw_event_log	: The raw binary bits of the event log
+				  as described by the DMI entry.

+
+      <para>Acceptable formats on pads can (and usually do) depend on a number

+      even controls. Finding a combination of formats on all pads in a video

+      set to <constant>V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY</constant>, the

+      formats parameters that are not connected to the hardware configuration.
+      Modifying those 'try' formats leaves the device state untouched (this
+      applies to both the software state stored in the driver and the hardware
+      state stored in the device itself).</para>
+
+      <para>While not kept as part of the device state, try formats are stored
+      in the sub-device file handles. A &VIDIOC-SUBDEV-G-FMT; call will return
+      the last try format set <emphasis>on the same sub-device file
+      handle</emphasis>. Several applications querying the same sub-device at
+      the same time will thus not interact with each other.</para>
+
+      <para>To find out whether a particular format is supported by the device,
+      applications use the &VIDIOC-SUBDEV-S-FMT; ioctl. Drivers verify and, if
+      needed, change the requested <structfield>format</structfield> based on
+      device requirements and return the possibly modified value. Applications
+      can then choose to try a different format or accept the returned value and
+      continue.</para>
+
+      <para>Formats returned by the driver during a negotiation iteration are
+      guaranteed to be supported by the device. In particular, drivers guarantee
+      that a returned format will not be further changed if passed to an
+      &VIDIOC-SUBDEV-S-FMT; call as-is (as long as external parameters, such as
+      formats on other pads or links' configuration are not changed).</para>
+
+      <para>Drivers automatically propagate formats inside sub-devices. When a
+      try or active format is set on a pad, corresponding formats on other pads
+      of the same sub-device can be modified by the driver. Drivers are free to
+      modify formats as required by the device. However, they should comply with
+      the following rules when possible:
+      <itemizedlist>
+        <listitem><para>Formats should be propagated from sink pads to source pads.

+      </itemizedlist>
+      </para>
+
+      <para>Formats are not propagated across links, as that would involve
+      propagating them from one sub-device file handle to another. Applications
+      must then take care to configure both ends of every link explicitly with

+
+      <para>On input pads, cropping is applied relatively to the current pad

+    <para>Media devices increasingly handle multiple related functions. Many USB
+    cameras include microphones, video capture hardware can also output video,
+    or SoC camera interfaces also perform memory-to-memory operations similar to
+    video codecs.</para>
+    <para>Independent functions, even when implemented in the same hardware, can
+    be modelled as separate devices. A USB camera with a microphone will be
+    presented to userspace applications as V4L2 and ALSA capture devices. The
+    devices' relationships (when using a webcam, end-users shouldn't have to
+    manually select the associated USB microphone), while not made available
+    directly to applications by the drivers, can usually be retrieved from
+    sysfs.</para>
+    <para>With more and more advanced SoC devices being introduced, the current
+    approach will not scale. Device topologies are getting increasingly complex
+    and can't always be represented by a tree structure. Hardware blocks are
+    shared between different functions, creating dependencies between seemingly
+    unrelated devices.</para>
+    <para>Kernel abstraction APIs such as V4L2 and ALSA provide means for
+    applications to access hardware parameters. As newer hardware expose an
+    increasingly high number of those parameters, drivers need to guess what
+    applications really require based on limited information, thereby
+    implementing policies that belong to userspace.</para>
+    <para>The media controller API aims at solving those problems.</para>

+    <para>Discovering a device internal topology, and configuring it at runtime,
+    is one of the goals of the media controller API. To achieve this, hardware
+    devices are modelled as an oriented graph of building blocks called entities
+    connected through pads.</para>
+    <para>An entity is a basic media hardware or software building block. It can
+    correspond to a large variety of logical blocks such as physical hardware
+    devices (CMOS sensor for instance), logical hardware devices (a building
+    block in a System-on-Chip image processing pipeline), DMA channels or
+    physical connectors.</para>
+    <para>A pad is a connection endpoint through which an entity can interact
+    with other entities. Data (not restricted to video) produced by an entity
+    flows from the entity's output to one or more entity inputs. Pads should not
+    be confused with physical pins at chip boundaries.</para>
+    <para>A link is a point-to-point oriented connection between two pads,
+    either on the same entity or on different entities. Data flows from a source
+    pad to a sink pad.</para>

+plane (and the image), but is half as tall in pixels. The chroma plane is also
+grouped into 64x32 macroblocks.</para>

 See the comment headers in the source code (or the docbook generated
 from them) for more information.
 
+However, given that there are no fewer than four families of RCU APIs
+in the Linux kernel, how do you choose which one to use?  The following
+list can be helpful:
+
+a.	Will readers need to block?  If so, you need SRCU.
+
+b.	What about the -rt patchset?  If readers would need to block
+	in an non-rt kernel, you need SRCU.  If readers would block
+	in a -rt kernel, but not in a non-rt kernel, SRCU is not
+	necessary.
+
+c.	Do you need to treat NMI handlers, hardirq handlers,
+	and code segments with preemption disabled (whether
+	via preempt_disable(), local_irq_save(), local_bh_disable(),
+	or some other mechanism) as if they were explicit RCU readers?
+	If so, you need RCU-sched.
+
+d.	Do you need RCU grace periods to complete even in the face
+	of softirq monopolization of one or more of the CPUs?  For
+	example, is your code subject to network-based denial-of-service
+	attacks?  If so, you need RCU-bh.
+
+e.	Is your workload too update-intensive for normal use of
+	RCU, but inappropriate for other synchronization mechanisms?
+	If so, consider SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU.  But please be careful!
+
+f.	Otherwise, use RCU.
+
+Of course, this all assumes that you have determined that RCU is in fact
+the right tool for your job.

+An ROM-able zImage compiled with ZBOOT_ROM_MMCIF may be written to MMC and
+SuperH Mobile ARM will to boot directly from the MMCIF hardware block.
+
+This is achieved by the mask ROM loading the first portion of the image into
+MERAM and then jumping to it. This portion contains loader code which
+copies the entire image to SDRAM and jumps to it. From there the zImage
+boot code proceeds as normal, uncompressing the image into its final

+
+This code has been tested on an AP4EB board using the developer 1A eMMC
+boot mode which is configured using the following jumper settings.
+The board used for testing required a patched mask ROM in order for
+this mode to function.

-README on the Compact Flash for Card Engines
-============================================
-
-There are three challenges in supporting the CF interface of the Card
-Engines.  First, every IO operation must be followed with IO to
-another memory region.  Second, the slot is wired for one-to-one
-address mapping *and* it is wired for 16 bit access only.  Second, the
-interrupt request line from the CF device isn't wired.
-
-The IOBARRIER issue is covered in README.IOBARRIER.  This isn't an
-onerous problem.  Enough said here.
-
-The addressing issue is solved in the
-arch/arm/mach-lh7a40x/ide-lpd7a40x.c file with some awkward
-work-arounds.  We implement a special SELECT_DRIVE routine that is
-called before the IDE driver performs its own SELECT_DRIVE.  Our code
-recognizes that the SELECT register cannot be modified without also
-writing a command.  It send an IDLE_IMMEDIATE command on selecting a
-drive.  The function also prevents drive select to the slave drive
-since there can be only one.  The awkward part is that the IDE driver,
-even though we have a select procedure, also attempts to change the
-drive by writing directly the SELECT register.  This attempt is
-explicitly blocked by the OUTB function--not pretty, but effective.
-
-The lack of interrupts is a more serious problem.  Even though the CF
-card is fast when compared to a normal IDE device, we don't know that
-the CF is really flash.  A user could use one of the very small hard
-drives being shipped with a CF interface.  The IDE code includes a
-check for interfaces that lack an IRQ.  In these cases, submitting a
-command to the IDE controller is followed by a call to poll for
-completion.  If the device isn't immediately ready, it schedules a
-timer to poll again later.

-README on the IOBARRIER for CardEngine IO
-=========================================
-
-Due to an unfortunate oversight when the Card Engines were designed,
-the signals that control access to some peripherals, most notably the
-SMC91C9111 ethernet controller, are not properly handled.
-
-The symptom is that some back to back IO with the peripheral returns
-unreliable data.  With the SMC chip, you'll see errors about the bank
-register being 'screwed'.
-
-The cause is that the AEN signal to the SMC chip does not transition
-for every memory access.  It is driven through the CPLD from the CS7
-line of the CPU's static memory controller which is optimized to
-eliminate unnecessary transitions.  Yet, the SMC requires a transition
-for every write access.  The Sharp website has more information about
-the effect this power-conserving feature has on peripheral
-interfacing.
-
-The solution is to follow every write access to the SMC chip with an
-access to another memory region that will force the CPU to release the
-chip select line.  It is important to guarantee that this access
-forces the CPU off-chip.  We map a page of SDRAM as if it were an
-uncacheable IO device and read from it after every SMC IO write
-operation.
-
-  SMC IO
-  BARRIER IO
-
-Only this sequence is important.  It does not matter that there is no
-BARRIER IO before the access to the SMC chip because the AEN latch
-only needs occurs after the SMC IO write cycle.  The routines that
-implement this work-around make an additional concession which is to
-disable interrupts during the IO sequence.  Other hardware devices
-(the LogicPD CPLD) have registers in the same physical memory
-region as the SMC chip.  An interrupt might allow an access to one of
-those registers while SMC IO is being performed.
-
-You might be tempted to think that we have to access another device
-attached to the static memory controller, but the empirical evidence
-indicates that this is not so.  Mapping 0x00000000 (flash) and
-0xc0000000 (SDRAM) appear to have the same effect.  Using SDRAM seems
-to be faster.  Choosing to access an undecoded memory region is not
-desirable as there is no way to know how that chip select will be used
-in the future.

-========================
-
-Configuration options for several LCD panels, available from Logic PD,
-are included in the kernel source.  This README will help you
-understand the configuration data and give you some guidance for
-adding support for other panels if you wish.
-
-
-lcd-panels.h
-------------
-
-There is no way, at present, to detect which panel is attached to the
-system at runtime.  Thus the kernel configuration is static.  The file
-arch/arm/mach-ld7a40x/lcd-panels.h (or similar) defines all of the
-panel specific parameters.
-
-It should be possible for this data to be shared among several device
-families.  The current layout may be insufficiently general, but it is
-amenable to improvement.
-
-
-PIXEL_CLOCK
------------
-
-The panel data sheets will give a range of acceptable pixel clocks.
-The fundamental LCDCLK input frequency is divided down by a PCD
-constant in field '.tim2'.  It may happen that it is impossible to set
-the pixel clock within this range.  A clock which is too slow will
-tend to flicker.  For the highest quality image, set the clock as high
-as possible.
-
-
-MARGINS
--------
-
-These values may be difficult to glean from the panel data sheet.  In
-the case of the Sharp panels, the upper margin is explicitly called
-out as a specific number of lines from the top of the frame.  The
-other values may not matter as much as the panels tend to
-automatically center the image.
-
-
-Sync Sense
-----------
-
-The sense of the hsync and vsync pulses may be called out in the data
-sheet.  On one panel, the sense of these pulses determine the height
-of the visible region on the panel.  Most of the Sharp panels use
-negative sense sync pulses set by the TIM2_IHS and TIM2_IVS bits in
-'.tim2'.
-
-
-Pel Layout
-----------
-
-The Sharp color TFT panels are all configured for 16 bit direct color
-modes.  The amba-lcd driver sets the pel mode to 565 for 5 bits of
-each red and blue and 6 bits of green.

-README on the SDRAM Controller for the LH7a40X
-==============================================
-
-The standard configuration for the SDRAM controller generates a sparse
-memory array.  The precise layout is determined by the SDRAM chips.  A
-default kernel configuration assembles the discontiguous memory
-regions into separate memory nodes via the NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory
-Architecture) facilities.  In this default configuration, the kernel
-is forgiving about the precise layout.  As long as it is given an
-accurate picture of available memory by the bootloader the kernel will
-execute correctly.
-
-The SDRC supports a mode where some of the chip select lines are
-swapped in order to make SDRAM look like a synchronous ROM.  Setting
-this bit means that the RAM will present as a contiguous array.  Some
-programmers prefer this to the discontiguous layout.  Be aware that
-may be a penalty for this feature where some some configurations of
-memory are significantly reduced; i.e. 64MiB of RAM appears as only 32
-MiB.
-
-There are a couple of configuration options to override the default
-behavior.  When the SROMLL bit is set and memory appears as a
-contiguous array, there is no reason to support NUMA.
-CONFIG_LH7A40X_CONTIGMEM disables NUMA support.  When physical memory
-is discontiguous, the memory tables are organized such that there are
-two banks per nodes with a small gap between them.  This layout wastes
-some kernel memory for page tables representing non-existent memory.
-CONFIG_LH7A40X_ONE_BANK_PER_NODE optimizes the node tables such that
-there are no gaps.  These options control the low level organization
-of the memory management tables in ways that may prevent the kernel
-from booting or may cause the kernel to allocated excessively large
-page tables.  Be warned.  Only change these options if you know what
-you are doing.  The default behavior is a reasonable compromise that
-will suit all users.
-
---
-
-A typical 32MiB system with the default configuration options will
-find physical memory managed as follows.
-
-   node 0: 0xc0000000 4MiB
-           0xc1000000 4MiB

-README on the Vectored Interrupt Controller of the LH7A404
-==========================================================
-
-The 404 revision of the LH7A40X series comes with two vectored
-interrupts controllers.  While the kernel does use some of the
-features of these devices, it is far from the purpose for which they
-were designed.
-
-When this README was written, the implementation of the VICs was in
-flux.  It is possible that some details, especially with priorities,
-will change.
-
-The VIC support code is inspired by routines written by Sharp.
-
-
-Priority Control
-----------------
-
-The significant reason for using the VIC's vectoring is to control
-interrupt priorities.  There are two tables in
-arch/arm/mach-lh7a40x/irq-lh7a404.c that look something like this.
-
-  static unsigned char irq_pri_vic1[] = { IRQ_GPIO3INTR, };
-  static unsigned char irq_pri_vic2[] = {
-	IRQ_T3UI, IRQ_GPIO7INTR,
-	IRQ_UART1INTR, IRQ_UART2INTR, IRQ_UART3INTR, };
-
-The initialization code reads these tables and inserts a vector
-address and enable for each indicated IRQ.  Vectored interrupts have
-higher priority than non-vectored interrupts.  So, on VIC1,
-IRQ_GPIO3INTR will be served before any other non-FIQ interrupt.  Due
-to the way that the vectoring works, IRQ_T3UI is the next highest
-priority followed by the other vectored interrupts on VIC2.  After
-that, the non-vectored interrupts are scanned in VIC1 then in VIC2.
-
-
-ISR
----
-
-The interrupt service routine macro get_irqnr() in
-arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S scans the VICs for the next active
-interrupt.  The vectoring makes this code somewhat larger than it was
-before using vectoring (refer to the LH7A400 implementation).  In the
-case where an interrupt is vectored, the implementation will tend to
-be faster than the non-vectored version.  However, the worst-case path
-is longer.
-
-It is worth noting that at present, there is no need to read
-VIC2_VECTADDR because the register appears to be shared between the
-controllers.  The code is written such that if this changes, it ought
-to still work properly.
-
-
-Vector Addresses
-----------------
-
-The proper use of the vectoring hardware would jump to the ISR
-specified by the vectoring address.  Linux isn't structured to take
-advantage of this feature, though it might be possible to change
-things to support it.
-
-In this implementation, the vectoring address is used to speed the
-search for the active IRQ.  The address is coded such that the lowest
-6 bits store the IRQ number for vectored interrupts.  These numbers
-correspond to the bits in the interrupt status registers.  IRQ zero is
-the lowest interrupt bit in VIC1.  IRQ 32 is the lowest interrupt bit
-in VIC2.  Because zero is a valid IRQ number and because we cannot
-detect whether or not there is a valid vectoring address if that
-address is zero, the eigth bit (0x100) is set for vectored interrupts.
-The address for IRQ 0x18 (VIC2) is 0x118.  Only the ninth bit is set
-for the default handler on VIC1 and only the tenth bit is set for the
-default handler on VIC2.
-
-In other words.
-
-  0x000		- no active interrupt
-  0x1ii		- vectored interrupt 0xii
-  0x2xx		- unvectored interrupt on VIC1 (xx is don't care)
-  0x4xx		- unvectored interrupt on VIC2 (xx is don't care)
