+    kgdb is a source level debugger for linux kernel. It is used along
+    with gdb to debug a linux kernel.  The expectation is that gdb can
+    be used to "break in" to the kernel to inspect memory, variables
+    and look through a cal stack information similar to what an
+    application developer would use gdb for.  It is possible to place
+    breakpoints in kernel code and perform some limited execution
+    stepping.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+    Two machines are required for using kgdb. One of these machines is a
+    development machine and the other is a test machine.  The kernel
+    to be debugged runs on the test machine. The development machine
+    runs an instance of gdb against the vmlinux file which contains
+    the symbols (not boot image such as bzImage, zImage, uImage...).
+    In gdb the developer specifies the connection parameters and
+    connects to kgdb.  Depending on which kgdb I/O modules exist in
+    the kernel for a given architecture, it may be possible to debug
+    the test machine's kernel with the development machine using a
+    rs232 or ethernet connection.

+    When kgdb is enabled in the kernel config you can also elect to
+    enable the config parameter KGDB_TESTS.  Turning this on will

+    <para>
+    The kgdb tests are mainly intended for developers to test the kgdb

+    The kgdb test suite can also be configured at compile time to run

+      <listitem><para>kgdb core</para>
+      <para>
+      The kgdb core is found in kernel/kgdb.c.  It contains:

+      </para>
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem><para>kgdb arch specific implementation</para>
+      <para>
+      This implementation is generally found in arch/*/kernel/kgdb.c.
+      As an example, arch/x86/kernel/kgdb.c contains the specifics to
+      implement HW breakpoint as well as the initialization to
+      dynamically register and unregister for the trap handlers on
+      this architecture.  The arch specific portion implements:

+      </itemizedlist>
+      Any given kgdb I/O driver has to operate very closely with the
+      hardware and must do it in such a way that does not enable
+      interrupts or change other parts of the system context without
+      completely restoring them. The kgdb core will repeatedly "poll"
+      a kgdb I/O driver for characters when it needs input.  The I/O
+      driver is expected to return immediately if there is no data
+      available.  Doing so allows for the future possibility to touch
+      watch dog hardware in such a way as to have a target system not
+      reset when these are enabled.

+      <para>
+      If you are intent on adding kgdb architecture specific support
+      for a new architecture, the architecture should define
+      <constant>HAVE_ARCH_KGDB</constant> in the architecture specific
+      Kconfig file.  This will enable kgdb for the architecture, and
+      at that point you must create an architecture specific kgdb
+      implementation.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+      There are a few flags which must be set on every architecture in
+      their &lt;asm/kgdb.h&gt; file.  These are:
+      <itemizedlist>
+        <listitem>
+	  <para>
+	  NUMREGBYTES: The size in bytes of all of the registers, so
+	  that we can ensure they will all fit into a packet.
+	  </para>
+	  <para>
+	  BUFMAX: The size in bytes of the buffer GDB will read into.
+	  This must be larger than NUMREGBYTES.
+	  </para>
+	  <para>
+	  CACHE_FLUSH_IS_SAFE: Set to 1 if it is always safe to call
+	  flush_cache_range or flush_icache_range.  On some architectures,
+	  these functions may not be safe to call on SMP since we keep other
+	  CPUs in a holding pattern.
+	  </para>
+	</listitem>
+      </itemizedlist>
+      </para>
+      <para>
+      There are also the following functions for the common backend,
+      found in kernel/kgdb.c, that must be supplied by the
+      architecture-specific backend unless marked as (optional), in
+      which case a default function maybe used if the architecture
+      does not need to provide a specific implementation.

+  <title>kgdboc internals</title>
+  <para>
+  The kgdboc driver is actually a very thin driver that relies on the
+  underlying low level to the hardware driver having "polling hooks"
+  which the to which the tty driver is attached.  In the initial
+  implementation of kgdboc it the serial_core was changed to expose a
+  low level uart hook for doing polled mode reading and writing of a
+  single character while in an atomic context.  When kgdb makes an I/O
+  request to the debugger, kgdboc invokes a call back in the serial
+  core which in turn uses the call back in the uart driver.  It is
+  certainly possible to extend kgdboc to work with non-uart based
+  consoles in the future.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+  When using kgdboc with a uart, the uart driver must implement two callbacks in the <constant>struct uart_ops</constant>. Example from drivers/8250.c:<programlisting>
+#ifdef CONFIG_CONSOLE_POLL
+	.poll_get_char = serial8250_get_poll_char,
+	.poll_put_char = serial8250_put_poll_char,
+#endif
+  </programlisting>
+  Any implementation specifics around creating a polling driver use the
+  <constant>#ifdef CONFIG_CONSOLE_POLL</constant>, as shown above.
+  Keep in mind that polling hooks have to be implemented in such a way
+  that they can be called from an atomic context and have to restore
+  the state of the uart chip on return such that the system can return
+  to normal when the debugger detaches.  You need to be very careful
+  with any kind of lock you consider, because failing here is most
+  going to mean pressing the reset button.

+
+1.8 What is sched_relax_domain_level ?
+--------------------------------------
+
+In sched domain, the scheduler migrates tasks in 2 ways; periodic load
+balance on tick, and at time of some schedule events.
+
+When a task is woken up, scheduler try to move the task on idle CPU.
+For example, if a task A running on CPU X activates another task B
+on the same CPU X, and if CPU Y is X's sibling and performing idle,
+then scheduler migrate task B to CPU Y so that task B can start on
+CPU Y without waiting task A on CPU X.
+
+And if a CPU run out of tasks in its runqueue, the CPU try to pull
+extra tasks from other busy CPUs to help them before it is going to
+be idle.
+
+Of course it takes some searching cost to find movable tasks and/or
+idle CPUs, the scheduler might not search all CPUs in the domain
+everytime.  In fact, in some architectures, the searching ranges on
+events are limited in the same socket or node where the CPU locates,
+while the load balance on tick searchs all.
+
+For example, assume CPU Z is relatively far from CPU X.  Even if CPU Z
+is idle while CPU X and the siblings are busy, scheduler can't migrate
+woken task B from X to Z since it is out of its searching range.
+As the result, task B on CPU X need to wait task A or wait load balance
+on the next tick.  For some applications in special situation, waiting
+1 tick may be too long.
+
+The 'sched_relax_domain_level' file allows you to request changing
+this searching range as you like.  This file takes int value which
+indicates size of searching range in levels ideally as follows,
+otherwise initial value -1 that indicates the cpuset has no request.
+
+  -1  : no request. use system default or follow request of others.
+   0  : no search.
+   1  : search siblings (hyperthreads in a core).
+   2  : search cores in a package.
+   3  : search cpus in a node [= system wide on non-NUMA system]
+ ( 4  : search nodes in a chunk of node [on NUMA system] )
+ ( 5~ : search system wide [on NUMA system])
+
+This file is per-cpuset and affect the sched domain where the cpuset
+belongs to.  Therefore if the flag 'sched_load_balance' of a cpuset
+is disabled, then 'sched_relax_domain_level' have no effect since
+there is no sched domain belonging the cpuset.
+
+If multiple cpusets are overlapping and hence they form a single sched
+domain, the largest value among those is used.  Be careful, if one
+requests 0 and others are -1 then 0 is used.
+
+Note that modifying this file will have both good and bad effects,
+and whether it is acceptable or not will be depend on your situation.
+Don't modify this file if you are not sure.
+
+If your situation is:
+ - The migration costs between each cpu can be assumed considerably
+   small(for you) due to your special application's behavior or
+   special hardware support for CPU cache etc.
+ - The searching cost doesn't have impact(for you) or you can make
+   the searching cost enough small by managing cpuset to compact etc.
+ - The latency is required even it sacrifices cache hit rate etc.
+then increasing 'sched_relax_domain_level' would benefit you.

+Metronomefb is a driver for the Metronome display controller. The controller
+is from E-Ink Corporation. It is intended to be used to drive the E-Ink
+Vizplex display media. E-Ink hosts some details of this controller and the
+display media here http://www.e-ink.com/products/matrix/metronome.html .
+
+Metronome is interfaced to the host CPU through the AMLCD interface. The
+host CPU generates the control information and the image in a framebuffer
+which is then delivered to the AMLCD interface by a host specific method.
+Currently, that's implemented for the PXA's LCDC controller. The display and
+error status are each pulled through individual GPIOs.
+
+Metronomefb was written for the PXA255/gumstix/lyre combination and
+therefore currently has board set specific code in it. If other boards based on
+other architectures are available, then the host specific code can be separated
+and abstracted out.
+
+Metronomefb requires waveform information which is delivered via the AMLCD
+interface to the metronome controller. The waveform information is expected to
+be delivered from userspace via the firmware class interface. The waveform file
+can be compressed as long as your udev or hotplug script is aware of the need
+to uncompress it before delivering it. metronomefb will ask for waveform.wbf
+which would typically go into /lib/firmware/waveform.wbf depending on your
+udev/hotplug setup. I have only tested with a single waveform file which was
+originally labeled 23P01201_60_WT0107_MTC. I do not know what it stands for.
+Caution should be exercised when manipulating the waveform as there may be
+a possibility that it could have some permanent effects on the display media.
+I neither have access to nor know exactly what the waveform does in terms of
+the physical media.
+
+Metronomefb uses the deferred IO interface so that it can provide a memory
+mappable frame buffer. It has been tested with tinyx (Xfbdev). It is known
+to work at this time with xeyes, xclock, xloadimage, xpdf.

+The seq_file interface
+
+	Copyright 2003 Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
+	This file is originally from the LWN.net Driver Porting series at
+	http://lwn.net/Articles/driver-porting/
+
+
+There are numerous ways for a device driver (or other kernel component) to
+provide information to the user or system administrator.  One useful
+technique is the creation of virtual files, in debugfs, /proc or elsewhere.
+Virtual files can provide human-readable output that is easy to get at
+without any special utility programs; they can also make life easier for
+script writers. It is not surprising that the use of virtual files has
+grown over the years.
+
+Creating those files correctly has always been a bit of a challenge,
+however. It is not that hard to make a virtual file which returns a
+string. But life gets trickier if the output is long - anything greater
+than an application is likely to read in a single operation.  Handling
+multiple reads (and seeks) requires careful attention to the reader's
+position within the virtual file - that position is, likely as not, in the
+middle of a line of output. The kernel has traditionally had a number of
+implementations that got this wrong.
+
+The 2.6 kernel contains a set of functions (implemented by Alexander Viro)
+which are designed to make it easy for virtual file creators to get it
+right.
+
+The seq_file interface is available via <linux/seq_file.h>. There are
+three aspects to seq_file:
+
+     * An iterator interface which lets a virtual file implementation
+       step through the objects it is presenting.
+
+     * Some utility functions for formatting objects for output without
+       needing to worry about things like output buffers.
+
+     * A set of canned file_operations which implement most operations on
+       the virtual file.
+
+We'll look at the seq_file interface via an extremely simple example: a
+loadable module which creates a file called /proc/sequence. The file, when
+read, simply produces a set of increasing integer values, one per line. The
+sequence will continue until the user loses patience and finds something
+better to do. The file is seekable, in that one can do something like the
+following:
+
+    dd if=/proc/sequence of=out1 count=1
+    dd if=/proc/sequence skip=1 out=out2 count=1
+
+Then concatenate the output files out1 and out2 and get the right
+result. Yes, it is a thoroughly useless module, but the point is to show
+how the mechanism works without getting lost in other details.  (Those
+wanting to see the full source for this module can find it at
+http://lwn.net/Articles/22359/).
+
+
+The iterator interface
+
+Modules implementing a virtual file with seq_file must implement a simple
+iterator object that allows stepping through the data of interest.
+Iterators must be able to move to a specific position - like the file they
+implement - but the interpretation of that position is up to the iterator
+itself. A seq_file implementation that is formatting firewall rules, for
+example, could interpret position N as the Nth rule in the chain.
+Positioning can thus be done in whatever way makes the most sense for the
+generator of the data, which need not be aware of how a position translates
+to an offset in the virtual file. The one obvious exception is that a
+position of zero should indicate the beginning of the file.
+
+The /proc/sequence iterator just uses the count of the next number it
+will output as its position.
+
+Four functions must be implemented to make the iterator work. The first,
+called start() takes a position as an argument and returns an iterator
+which will start reading at that position. For our simple sequence example,
+the start() function looks like:
+
+	static void *ct_seq_start(struct seq_file *s, loff_t *pos)
+	{
+	        loff_t *spos = kmalloc(sizeof(loff_t), GFP_KERNEL);
+	        if (! spos)
+	                return NULL;
+	        *spos = *pos;
+	        return spos;
+	}
+
+The entire data structure for this iterator is a single loff_t value
+holding the current position. There is no upper bound for the sequence
+iterator, but that will not be the case for most other seq_file
+implementations; in most cases the start() function should check for a
+"past end of file" condition and return NULL if need be.
+
+For more complicated applications, the private field of the seq_file
+structure can be used. There is also a special value which can be returned
+by the start() function called SEQ_START_TOKEN; it can be used if you wish
+to instruct your show() function (described below) to print a header at the
+top of the output. SEQ_START_TOKEN should only be used if the offset is
+zero, however.
+
+The next function to implement is called, amazingly, next(); its job is to
+move the iterator forward to the next position in the sequence.  The
+example module can simply increment the position by one; more useful
+modules will do what is needed to step through some data structure. The
+next() function returns a new iterator, or NULL if the sequence is
+complete. Here's the example version:
+
+	static void *ct_seq_next(struct seq_file *s, void *v, loff_t *pos)
+	{
+	        loff_t *spos = v;
+	        *pos = ++*spos;
+	        return spos;
+	}
+
+The stop() function is called when iteration is complete; its job, of
+course, is to clean up. If dynamic memory is allocated for the iterator,
+stop() is the place to free it.
+
+	static void ct_seq_stop(struct seq_file *s, void *v)
+	{
+	        kfree(v);
+	}
+
+Finally, the show() function should format the object currently pointed to
+by the iterator for output. It should return zero, or an error code if
+something goes wrong. The example module's show() function is:
+
+	static int ct_seq_show(struct seq_file *s, void *v)
+	{
+	        loff_t *spos = v;
+	        seq_printf(s, "%lld\n", (long long)*spos);
+	        return 0;
+	}
+
+We will look at seq_printf() in a moment. But first, the definition of the
+seq_file iterator is finished by creating a seq_operations structure with
+the four functions we have just defined:
+
+	static const struct seq_operations ct_seq_ops = {
+	        .start = ct_seq_start,
+	        .next  = ct_seq_next,
+	        .stop  = ct_seq_stop,
+	        .show  = ct_seq_show
+	};
+
+This structure will be needed to tie our iterator to the /proc file in
+a little bit.
+
+It's worth noting that the iterator value returned by start() and
+manipulated by the other functions is considered to be completely opaque by
+the seq_file code. It can thus be anything that is useful in stepping
+through the data to be output. Counters can be useful, but it could also be
+a direct pointer into an array or linked list. Anything goes, as long as
+the programmer is aware that things can happen between calls to the
+iterator function. However, the seq_file code (by design) will not sleep
+between the calls to start() and stop(), so holding a lock during that time
+is a reasonable thing to do. The seq_file code will also avoid taking any
+other locks while the iterator is active.
+
+
+Formatted output
+
+The seq_file code manages positioning within the output created by the
+iterator and getting it into the user's buffer. But, for that to work, that
+output must be passed to the seq_file code. Some utility functions have
+been defined which make this task easy.
+
+Most code will simply use seq_printf(), which works pretty much like
+printk(), but which requires the seq_file pointer as an argument. It is
+common to ignore the return value from seq_printf(), but a function
+producing complicated output may want to check that value and quit if
+something non-zero is returned; an error return means that the seq_file
+buffer has been filled and further output will be discarded.
+
+For straight character output, the following functions may be used:
+
+	int seq_putc(struct seq_file *m, char c);
+	int seq_puts(struct seq_file *m, const char *s);
+	int seq_escape(struct seq_file *m, const char *s, const char *esc);
+
+The first two output a single character and a string, just like one would
+expect. seq_escape() is like seq_puts(), except that any character in s
+which is in the string esc will be represented in octal form in the output.
+
+There is also a function for printing filenames:
+
+	int seq_path(struct seq_file *m, struct path *path, char *esc);
+
+Here, path indicates the file of interest, and esc is a set of characters
+which should be escaped in the output.
+
+
+Making it all work
+
+So far, we have a nice set of functions which can produce output within the
+seq_file system, but we have not yet turned them into a file that a user
+can see. Creating a file within the kernel requires, of course, the
+creation of a set of file_operations which implement the operations on that
+file. The seq_file interface provides a set of canned operations which do
+most of the work. The virtual file author still must implement the open()
+method, however, to hook everything up. The open function is often a single
+line, as in the example module:
+
+	static int ct_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file)
+	{
+		return seq_open(file, &ct_seq_ops);
+	}
+
+Here, the call to seq_open() takes the seq_operations structure we created
+before, and gets set up to iterate through the virtual file.
+
+On a successful open, seq_open() stores the struct seq_file pointer in
+file->private_data. If you have an application where the same iterator can
+be used for more than one file, you can store an arbitrary pointer in the
+private field of the seq_file structure; that value can then be retrieved
+by the iterator functions.
+
+The other operations of interest - read(), llseek(), and release() - are
+all implemented by the seq_file code itself. So a virtual file's
+file_operations structure will look like:
+
+	static const struct file_operations ct_file_ops = {
+	        .owner   = THIS_MODULE,
+	        .open    = ct_open,
+	        .read    = seq_read,
+	        .llseek  = seq_lseek,
+	        .release = seq_release
+	};
+
+There is also a seq_release_private() which passes the contents of the
+seq_file private field to kfree() before releasing the structure.
+
+The final step is the creation of the /proc file itself. In the example
+code, that is done in the initialization code in the usual way:
+
+	static int ct_init(void)
+	{
+	        struct proc_dir_entry *entry;
+
+	        entry = create_proc_entry("sequence", 0, NULL);
+	        if (entry)
+	                entry->proc_fops = &ct_file_ops;
+	        return 0;
+	}
+
+	module_init(ct_init);
+
+And that is pretty much it.
+
+
+seq_list
+
+If your file will be iterating through a linked list, you may find these
+routines useful:
+
+	struct list_head *seq_list_start(struct list_head *head,
+	       		 		 loff_t pos);
+	struct list_head *seq_list_start_head(struct list_head *head,
+			 		      loff_t pos);
+	struct list_head *seq_list_next(void *v, struct list_head *head,
+					loff_t *ppos);
+
+These helpers will interpret pos as a position within the list and iterate
+accordingly.  Your start() and next() functions need only invoke the
+seq_list_* helpers with a pointer to the appropriate list_head structure.
+
+
+The extra-simple version
+
+For extremely simple virtual files, there is an even easier interface.  A
+module can define only the show() function, which should create all the
+output that the virtual file will contain. The file's open() method then
+calls:
+
+	int single_open(struct file *file,
+	                int (*show)(struct seq_file *m, void *p),
+	                void *data);
+
+When output time comes, the show() function will be called once. The data
+value given to single_open() can be found in the private field of the
+seq_file structure. When using single_open(), the programmer should use
+single_release() instead of seq_release() in the file_operations structure
+to avoid a memory leak.

+
+Author: Darrick J. Wong
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7473 chip family.
+
+The LM85 uses the 2-wire interface compatible with the SMBUS 2.0
+specification. Using an analog to digital converter it measures three (3)
+temperatures and two (2) voltages. It has three (3) 16-bit counters for
+measuring fan speed. There are three (3) PWM outputs that can be used
+to control fan speed.
+
+A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the
+LM85 that allows fan speed to be adjusted automatically based on any of the
+three temperature sensors. Each PWM output is individually adjustable and
+programmable. Once configured, the ADT7473 will adjust the PWM outputs in
+response to the measured temperatures without further host intervention.
+This feature can also be disabled for manual control of the PWM's.
+
+Each of the measured inputs (voltage, temperature, fan speed) has
+corresponding high/low limit values. The ADT7473 will signal an ALARM if
+any measured value exceeds either limit.
+
+The ADT7473 samples all inputs continuously. The driver will not read
+the registers more often than once every other second. Further,
+configuration data is only read once per minute.
+
+Special Features
+----------------
+
+The ADT7473 have a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure temperatures
+with 0.25 degC resolution. Temperature readings can be configured either
+for twos complement format or "Offset 64" format, wherein 63 is subtracted
+from the raw value to get the temperature value.
+
+The Analog Devices datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for
+determining an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control.
+
+Hardware Configurations
+-----------------------
+
+The ADT7473 chips have an optional SMBALERT output that can be used to
+signal the chipset in case a limit is exceeded or the temperature sensors
+fail. Individual sensor interrupts can be masked so they won't trigger
+SMBALERT. The SMBALERT output if configured replaces the PWM2 function.
+
+Configuration Notes
+-------------------
+
+Besides standard interfaces driver adds the following:
+
+* PWM Control
+
+* pwm#_auto_point1_pwm and pwm#_auto_point1_temp and
+* pwm#_auto_point2_pwm and pwm#_auto_point2_temp -
+
+point1: Set the pwm speed at a lower temperature bound.
+point2: Set the pwm speed at a higher temperature bound.
+
+The ADT7473 will scale the pwm between the lower and higher pwm speed when
+the temperature is between the two temperature boundaries.  PWM values range
+from 0 (off) to 255 (full speed).
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+The NVIDIA binary driver presents an ADT7473 chip via an on-card i2c bus.
+Unfortunately, they fail to set the i2c adapter class, so this driver may
+fail to find the chip until the nvidia driver is patched.

+From boot protocol version 2.08 onwards the CRC-32 is calculated over
+the entire file using the characteristic polynomial 0x04C11DB7 and an
+initial remainder of 0xffffffff.  The checksum is appended to the
+file; therefore the CRC of the file up to the limit specified in the
+syssize field of the header is always 0.

-IDE ATAPI streaming tape driver
--------------------------------
-
-This driver is a part of the Linux ide driver and works in co-operation
-with linux/drivers/block/ide.c.
-
-The driver, in co-operation with ide.c, basically traverses the
-request-list for the block device interface. The character device
-interface, on the other hand, creates new requests, adds them
-to the request-list of the block device, and waits for their completion.
-
-Pipelined operation mode is now supported on both reads and writes.
-
-The block device major and minor numbers are determined from the
-tape's relative position in the ide interfaces, as explained in ide.c.
-
-The character device interface consists of the following devices:
-
- ht0		major 37, minor 0	first  IDE tape, rewind on close.
- ht1		major 37, minor 1	second IDE tape, rewind on close.
- ...
- nht0		major 37, minor 128	first  IDE tape, no rewind on close.
- nht1		major 37, minor 129	second IDE tape, no rewind on close.
- ...
-
-Run /dev/MAKEDEV to create the above entries.
-
-The general magnetic tape commands compatible interface, as defined by
-include/linux/mtio.h, is accessible through the character device.
-
-General ide driver configuration options, such as the interrupt-unmask
-flag, can be configured by issuing an ioctl to the block device interface,
-as any other ide device.
-
-Our own ide-tape ioctl's can be issued to either the block device or
-the character device interface.
-
-Maximal throughput with minimal bus load will usually be achieved in the
-following scenario:
-
-	1.	ide-tape is operating in the pipelined operation mode.
-	2.	No buffering is performed by the user backup program.

-			BCM43xx Linux Driver Project
-			============================
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
-Many of the wireless devices found in modern notebook computers are
-based on the wireless chips produced by Broadcom. These devices have
-been a problem for Linux users as there is no open-source driver
-available. In addition, Broadcom has not released specifications
-for the device, and driver availability has been limited to the
-binary-only form used in the GPL versions of AP hardware such as the
-Linksys WRT54G, and the Windows and OS X drivers.  Before this project
-began, the only way to use these devices were to use the Windows or
-OS X drivers with either the Linuxant or ndiswrapper modules. There
-is a strong penalty if this method is used as loading the binary-only
-module "taints" the kernel, and no kernel developer will help diagnose
-any kernel problems.
-
-Development
------------
-
-This driver has been developed using
-a clean-room technique that is described at
-http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net/ReverseEngineeringProcess. For legal
-reasons, none of the clean-room crew works on the on the Linux driver,
-and none of the Linux developers sees anything but the specifications,
-which are the ultimate product of the reverse-engineering group.
-
-Software
---------
-
-Since the release of the 2.6.17 kernel, the bcm43xx driver has been
-distributed with the kernel source, and is prebuilt in most, if not
-all, distributions.  There is, however, additional software that is
-required. The firmware used by the chip is the intellectual property
-of Broadcom and they have not given the bcm43xx team redistribution
-rights to this firmware.  Since we cannot legally redistribute
-the firmware we cannot include it with the driver. Furthermore, it
-cannot be placed in the downloadable archives of any distributing
-organization; therefore, the user is responsible for obtaining the
-firmware and placing it in the appropriate location so that the driver
-can find it when initializing.
-
-To help with this process, the bcm43xx developers provide a separate
-program named bcm43xx-fwcutter to "cut" the firmware out of a
-Windows or OS X driver and write the extracted files to the proper
-location. This program is usually provided with the distribution;
-however, it may be downloaded from
-
-http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4547
-
-The firmware is available in two versions. V3 firmware is used with
-the in-kernel bcm43xx driver that uses a software MAC layer called
-SoftMAC, and will have a microcode revision of 0x127 or smaller. The
-V4 firmware is used by an out-of-kernel driver employing a variation of
-the Devicescape MAC layer known as d80211. Once bcm43xx-d80211 reaches
-a satisfactory level of development, it will replace bcm43xx-softmac
-in the kernel as it is much more flexible and powerful.
-
-A source for the latest V3 firmware is
-
-http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
-
-Once this file is downloaded, the command
-'bcm43xx-fwcutter -w <dir> <filename>'
-will extract the microcode and write it to directory
-<dir>. The correct directory will depend on your distribution;
-however, most use '/lib/firmware'. Once this step is completed,
-the bcm3xx driver should load when the system is booted. To see
-any messages relating to the driver, issue the command 'dmesg |
-grep bcm43xx' from a terminal window. If there are any problems,
-please send that output to Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de.
-
-Although the driver has been in-kernel since 2.6.17, the earliest
-version is quite limited in its capability. Patches that include
-all features of later versions are available for the stable kernel
-versions from 2.6.18. These will be needed if you use a BCM4318,
-or a PCI Express version (BCM4311 and BCM4312). In addition, if you
-have an early BCM4306 and more than 1 GB RAM, your kernel will need
-to be patched.	These patches, which are being updated regularly,
-are available at ftp://lwfinger.dynalias.org/patches. Look for
-combined_2.6.YY.patch. Of course you will need kernel source downloaded
-from kernel.org, or the source from your distribution.
-
-If you build your own kernel, please enable CONFIG_BCM43XX_DEBUG
-and CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC_DEBUG. The log information provided is
-essential for solving any problems.

-NOTE 2: In case of problems, please read the section "Troubleshooting" 
-        below.
-
-The driver can either be integrated into the kernel or it can be compiled 
-as a module. Select the appropriate option during the kernel 
-configuration.
-
-Compile/use the driver as a module
-----------------------------------
-To compile the driver, go to the directory /usr/src/linux and
-execute the command "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig" and proceed as 
-follows:
-
-To integrate the driver permanently into the kernel, proceed as follows:
-
-1. Select the menu "Network device support" and then "Ethernet(1000Mbit)"
-2. Mark "Marvell Yukon Chipset / SysKonnect SK-98xx family support" 
-   with (*) 
-3. Build a new kernel when the configuration of the above options is 
-   finished.
-4. Install the new kernel.
-5. Reboot your system.
-
-To use the driver as a module, proceed as follows:
-
-1. Enable 'loadable module support' in the kernel.
-2. For automatic driver start, enable the 'Kernel module loader'.
-3. Select the menu "Network device support" and then "Ethernet(1000Mbit)"
-4. Mark "Marvell Yukon Chipset / SysKonnect SK-98xx family support" 
-   with (M)
-5. Execute the command "make modules".
-6. Execute the command "make modules_install".
-   The appropriate modules will be installed.
-7. Reboot your system.
-
-
-Load the module manually
-------------------------
-To load the module manually, proceed as follows:
-
-1. Enter "modprobe sk98lin".
-2. If a Marvell Yukon or SysKonnect SK-98xx adapter is installed in 
-   your computer and you have a /proc file system, execute the command:
-   "ls /proc/net/sk98lin/" 
-   This should produce an output containing a line with the following 
-   format:
-   eth0   eth1  ...
-   which indicates that your adapter has been found and initialized.
-   
-   NOTE 1: If you have more than one Marvell Yukon or SysKonnect SK-98xx 
-           adapter installed, the adapters will be listed as 'eth0', 
-                   'eth1', 'eth2', etc.
-                   For each adapter, repeat steps 3 and 4 below.
-
-   NOTE 2: If you have other Ethernet adapters installed, your Marvell
-           Yukon or SysKonnect SK-98xx adapter will be mapped to the 
-                   next available number, e.g. 'eth1'. The mapping is executed 
-                   automatically.
-           The module installation message (displayed either in a system
-           log file or on the console) prints a line for each adapter 
-           found containing the corresponding 'ethX'.
-
-3. Select an IP address and assign it to the respective adapter by 
-   entering:
-   ifconfig eth0 <ip-address>
-   With this command, the adapter is connected to the Ethernet. 
-   
-   SK-98xx Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapters: The yellow LED on the adapter 
-   is now active, the link status LED of the primary port is active and 
-   the link status LED of the secondary port (on dual port adapters) is 
-   blinking (if the ports are connected to a switch or hub).
-   SK-98xx V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapters: The link status LED is active.
-   In addition, you will receive a status message on the console stating
-   "ethX: network connection up using port Y" and showing the selected 
-   connection parameters (x stands for the ethernet device number 
-   (0,1,2, etc), y stands for the port name (A or B)).
-
-   NOTE: If you are in doubt about IP addresses, ask your network
-         administrator for assistance.
-  
-4. Your adapter should now be fully operational.
-   Use 'ping <otherstation>' to verify the connection to other computers 
-   on your network.
-5. To check the adapter configuration view /proc/net/sk98lin/[devicename].
-   For example by executing:    
-   "cat /proc/net/sk98lin/eth0" 
-
-Unload the module
------------------
-To stop and unload the driver modules, proceed as follows:
-
-1. Execute the command "ifconfig eth0 down".
-2. Execute the command "rmmod sk98lin".
-
-3.2  Inclusion of adapter at system start
------------------------------------------
-
-Since a large number of different Linux distributions are 
-available, we are unable to describe a general installation procedure
-for the driver module.
-Because the driver is now integrated in the kernel, installation should
-be easy, using the standard mechanism of your distribution.
-Refer to the distribution's manual for installation of ethernet adapters.
-
-***
-
-4  Driver Parameters
-====================
-
-Parameters can be set at the command line after the module has been 
-loaded with the command 'modprobe'.
-In some distributions, the configuration tools are able to pass parameters
-to the driver module.
-
-If you use the kernel module loader, you can set driver parameters
-in the file /etc/modprobe.conf (or /etc/modules.conf in 2.4 or earlier).
-To set the driver parameters in this file, proceed as follows:
-
-1. Insert a line of the form :
-   options sk98lin ...
-   For "...", the same syntax is required as described for the command
-   line parameters of modprobe below.
-2. To activate the new parameters, either reboot your computer
-   or 
-   unload and reload the driver.
-   The syntax of the driver parameters is:
-
-        modprobe sk98lin parameter=value1[,value2[,value3...]]
-
-   where value1 refers to the first adapter, value2 to the second etc.
-
-NOTE: All parameters are case sensitive. Write them exactly as shown 
-      below.
-
-Example:
-Suppose you have two adapters. You want to set auto-negotiation
-on the first adapter to ON and on the second adapter to OFF.
-You also want to set DuplexCapabilities on the first adapter
-to FULL, and on the second adapter to HALF.
-Then, you must enter:
-
-        modprobe sk98lin AutoNeg_A=On,Off DupCap_A=Full,Half
-
-NOTE: The number of adapters that can be configured this way is
-      limited in the driver (file skge.c, constant SK_MAX_CARD_PARAM).
-      The current limit is 16. If you happen to install
-      more adapters, adjust this and recompile.
-
-
-4.1  Per-Port Parameters
-------------------------
-
-These settings are available for each port on the adapter.
-In the following description, '?' stands for the port for
-which you set the parameter (A or B).
-
-Speed
------
-Parameter:    Speed_?
-Values:       10, 100, 1000, Auto
-Default:      Auto
-
-This parameter is used to set the speed capabilities. It is only valid 
-for the SK-98xx V2.0 copper adapters.
-Usually, the speed is negotiated between the two ports during link 
-establishment. If this fails, a port can be forced to a specific setting
-with this parameter.
-
-Auto-Negotiation
-----------------
-Parameter:    AutoNeg_?
-Values:       On, Off, Sense
-Default:      On
-  
-The "Sense"-mode automatically detects whether the link partner supports
-auto-negotiation or not.
-
-Duplex Capabilities
--------------------
-Parameter:    DupCap_?
-Values:       Half, Full, Both
-Default:      Both
-
-This parameters is only relevant if auto-negotiation for this port is 
-not set to "Sense". If auto-negotiation is set to "On", all three values
-are possible. If it is set to "Off", only "Full" and "Half" are allowed.
-This parameter is useful if your link partner does not support all
-possible combinations.
-
-Flow Control
-------------
-Parameter:    FlowCtrl_?
-Values:       Sym, SymOrRem, LocSend, None
-Default:      SymOrRem
-
-This parameter can be used to set the flow control capabilities the 
-port reports during auto-negotiation. It can be set for each port 
-individually.
-Possible modes:
-   -- Sym      = Symmetric: both link partners are allowed to send 
-                  PAUSE frames
-   -- SymOrRem = SymmetricOrRemote: both or only remote partner 
-                  are allowed to send PAUSE frames
-   -- LocSend  = LocalSend: only local link partner is allowed 
-                  to send PAUSE frames
-   -- None     = no link partner is allowed to send PAUSE frames
-  
-NOTE: This parameter is ignored if auto-negotiation is set to "Off".
-
-Role in Master-Slave-Negotiation (1000Base-T only)
---------------------------------------------------
-Parameter:    Role_?
-Values:       Auto, Master, Slave
-Default:      Auto
-
-This parameter is only valid for the SK-9821 and SK-9822 adapters.
-For two 1000Base-T ports to communicate, one must take the role of the
-master (providing timing information), while the other must be the 
-slave. Usually, this is negotiated between the two ports during link 
-establishment. If this fails, a port can be forced to a specific setting
-with this parameter.
-
-
-4.2  Adapter Parameters
------------------------
-
-Connection Type (SK-98xx V2.0 copper adapters only)
----------------
-Parameter:    ConType
-Values:       Auto, 100FD, 100HD, 10FD, 10HD
-Default:      Auto
-
-The parameter 'ConType' is a combination of all five per-port parameters
-within one single parameter. This simplifies the configuration of both ports
-of an adapter card! The different values of this variable reflect the most 
-meaningful combinations of port parameters.
-
-The following table shows the values of 'ConType' and the corresponding
-combinations of the per-port parameters:
-
-    ConType   |  DupCap   AutoNeg   FlowCtrl   Role             Speed
-    ----------+------------------------------------------------------
-    Auto      |  Both     On        SymOrRem   Auto             Auto
-    100FD     |  Full     Off       None       Auto (ignored)   100
-    100HD     |  Half     Off       None       Auto (ignored)   100
-    10FD      |  Full     Off       None       Auto (ignored)   10
-    10HD      |  Half     Off       None       Auto (ignored)   10
-
-Stating any other port parameter together with this 'ConType' variable
-will result in a merged configuration of those settings. This due to 
-the fact, that the per-port parameters (e.g. Speed_? ) have a higher
-priority than the combined variable 'ConType'.
-
-NOTE: This parameter is always used on both ports of the adapter card.
-
-Interrupt Moderation
---------------------
-Parameter:    Moderation
-Values:       None, Static, Dynamic
-Default:      None
-
-Interrupt moderation is employed to limit the maximum number of interrupts
-the driver has to serve. That is, one or more interrupts (which indicate any
-transmit or receive packet to be processed) are queued until the driver 
-processes them. When queued interrupts are to be served, is determined by the
-'IntsPerSec' parameter, which is explained later below.
-
-Possible modes:
-
-   -- None - No interrupt moderation is applied on the adapter card. 
-      Therefore, each transmit or receive interrupt is served immediately
-      as soon as it appears on the interrupt line of the adapter card.
-
-   -- Static - Interrupt moderation is applied on the adapter card. 
-      All transmit and receive interrupts are queued until a complete
-      moderation interval ends. If such a moderation interval ends, all
-      queued interrupts are processed in one big bunch without any delay.
-      The term 'static' reflects the fact, that interrupt moderation is
-      always enabled, regardless how much network load is currently 
-      passing via a particular interface. In addition, the duration of
-      the moderation interval has a fixed length that never changes while
-      the driver is operational.
-
-   -- Dynamic - Interrupt moderation might be applied on the adapter card,
-      depending on the load of the system. If the driver detects that the
-      system load is too high, the driver tries to shield the system against 
-      too much network load by enabling interrupt moderation. If - at a later
-      time - the CPU utilization decreases again (or if the network load is 
-      negligible) the interrupt moderation will automatically be disabled.
-
-Interrupt moderation should be used when the driver has to handle one or more
-interfaces with a high network load, which - as a consequence - leads also to a
-high CPU utilization. When moderation is applied in such high network load 
-situations, CPU load might be reduced by 20-30%.
-
-NOTE: The drawback of using interrupt moderation is an increase of the round-
-trip-time (RTT), due to the queueing and serving of interrupts at dedicated
-moderation times.
-
-Interrupts per second
----------------------
-Parameter:    IntsPerSec
-Values:       30...40000 (interrupts per second)
-Default:      2000
-
-This parameter is only used if either static or dynamic interrupt moderation
-is used on a network adapter card. Using this parameter if no moderation is
-applied will lead to no action performed.
-
-This parameter determines the length of any interrupt moderation interval. 
-Assuming that static interrupt moderation is to be used, an 'IntsPerSec' 
-parameter value of 2000 will lead to an interrupt moderation interval of
-500 microseconds. 
-
-NOTE: The duration of the moderation interval is to be chosen with care.
-At first glance, selecting a very long duration (e.g. only 100 interrupts per 
-second) seems to be meaningful, but the increase of packet-processing delay 
-is tremendous. On the other hand, selecting a very short moderation time might
-compensate the use of any moderation being applied.
-
-
-Preferred Port
---------------
-Parameter:    PrefPort
-Values:       A, B
-Default:      A
-
-This is used to force the preferred port to A or B (on dual-port network 
-adapters). The preferred port is the one that is used if both are detected
-as fully functional.
-
-RLMT Mode (Redundant Link Management Technology)
-------------------------------------------------
-Parameter:    RlmtMode
-Values:       CheckLinkState,CheckLocalPort, CheckSeg, DualNet
-Default:      CheckLinkState
-
-RLMT monitors the status of the port. If the link of the active port 
-fails, RLMT switches immediately to the standby link. The virtual link is 
-maintained as long as at least one 'physical' link is up. 
-
-Possible modes:
-
-   -- CheckLinkState - Check link state only: RLMT uses the link state
-      reported by the adapter hardware for each individual port to 
-      determine whether a port can be used for all network traffic or 
-      not.
-
-   -- CheckLocalPort - In this mode, RLMT monitors the network path 
-      between the two ports of an adapter by regularly exchanging packets
-      between them. This mode requires a network configuration in which 
-      the two ports are able to "see" each other (i.e. there must not be 
-      any router between the ports).
-
-   -- CheckSeg - Check local port and segmentation: This mode supports the
-      same functions as the CheckLocalPort mode and additionally checks 
-      network segmentation between the ports. Therefore, this mode is only
-      to be used if Gigabit Ethernet switches are installed on the network
-      that have been configured to use the Spanning Tree protocol. 
-
-   -- DualNet - In this mode, ports A and B are used as separate devices. 
-      If you have a dual port adapter, port A will be configured as eth0 
-      and port B as eth1. Both ports can be used independently with 
-      distinct IP addresses. The preferred port setting is not used. 
-      RLMT is turned off.
-   
-NOTE: RLMT modes CLP and CLPSS are designed to operate in configurations 
-      where a network path between the ports on one adapter exists. 
-      Moreover, they are not designed to work where adapters are connected
-      back-to-back.
-***
-
-
-5  Large Frame Support
-======================
-
-The driver supports large frames (also called jumbo frames). Using large 
-frames can result in an improved throughput if transferring large amounts 
-of data.
-To enable large frames, set the MTU (maximum transfer unit) of the 
-interface to the desired value (up to 9000), execute the following 
-command:
-      ifconfig eth0 mtu 9000
-This will only work if you have two adapters connected back-to-back
-or if you use a switch that supports large frames. When using a switch, 
-it should be configured to allow large frames and auto-negotiation should  
-be set to OFF. The setting must be configured on all adapters that can be 
-reached by the large frames. If one adapter is not set to receive large 
-frames, it will simply drop them.
-
-You can switch back to the standard ethernet frame size by executing the 
-following command:
-      ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500
-
-To permanently configure this setting, add a script with the 'ifconfig' 
-line to the system startup sequence (named something like "S99sk98lin" 
-in /etc/rc.d/rc2.d).
-***
-
-
-6  VLAN and Link Aggregation Support (IEEE 802.1, 802.1q, 802.3ad)
-==================================================================
-
-The Marvell Yukon/SysKonnect Linux drivers are able to support VLAN and 
-Link Aggregation according to IEEE standards 802.1, 802.1q, and 802.3ad. 
-These features are only available after installation of open source 
-modules available on the Internet:
-For VLAN go to: http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan.html
-For Link Aggregation go to: http://www.st.rim.or.jp/~yumo
-
-NOTE: SysKonnect GmbH does not offer any support for these open source 
-      modules and does not take the responsibility for any kind of 
-      failures or problems arising in connection with these modules.
-
-NOTE: Configuring Link Aggregation on a SysKonnect dual link adapter may 
-      cause problems when unloading the driver.
-
-
-7  Troubleshooting
-==================
-
-If any problems occur during the installation process, check the 
-following list:
-
-
-Problem:  The SK-98xx adapter cannot be found by the driver.
-Solution: In /proc/pci search for the following entry:
-             'Ethernet controller: SysKonnect SK-98xx ...'
-          If this entry exists, the SK-98xx or SK-98xx V2.0 adapter has 
-          been found by the system and should be operational.
-          If this entry does not exist or if the file '/proc/pci' is not 
-          found, there may be a hardware problem or the PCI support may 
-          not be enabled in your kernel.
-          The adapter can be checked using the diagnostics program which 
-          is available on the SysKonnect web site:
-          www.syskonnect.com
-          
-          Some COMPAQ machines have problems dealing with PCI under Linux.
-          This problem is described in the 'PCI howto' document
-          (included in some distributions or available from the
-          web, e.g. at 'www.linux.org'). 
-
-
-Problem:  Programs such as 'ifconfig' or 'route' cannot be found or the 
-          error message 'Operation not permitted' is displayed.
-Reason:   You are not logged in as user 'root'.
-Solution: Logout and login as 'root' or change to 'root' via 'su'.
-
-
-Problem:  Upon use of the command 'ping <address>' the message
-          "ping: sendto: Network is unreachable" is displayed.
-Reason:   Your route is not set correctly.
-Solution: If you are using RedHat, you probably forgot to set up the 
-          route in the 'network configuration'.
-          Check the existing routes with the 'route' command and check 
-          if an entry for 'eth0' exists, and if so, if it is set correctly.
-
-
-Problem:  The driver can be started, the adapter is connected to the 
-          network, but you cannot receive or transmit any packets; 
-          e.g. 'ping' does not work.
-Reason:   There is an incorrect route in your routing table.
-Solution: Check the routing table with the command 'route' and read the 
-          manual help pages dealing with routes (enter 'man route').
-
-NOTE: Although the 2.2.x kernel versions generate the routing entry 
-      automatically, problems of this kind may occur here as well. We've 
-      come across a situation in which the driver started correctly at 
-      system start, but after the driver has been removed and reloaded,
-      the route of the adapter's network pointed to the 'dummy0'device 
-      and had to be corrected manually.
-
-
-Problem:  Your computer should act as a router between multiple 
-          IP subnetworks (using multiple adapters), but computers in 
-          other subnetworks cannot be reached.
-Reason:   Either the router's kernel is not configured for IP forwarding 
-          or the routing table and gateway configuration of at least one 
-          computer is not working.
-
-Problem:  Upon driver start, the following error message is displayed:
-          "eth0: -- ERROR --
-          Class: internal Software error
-          Nr:    0xcc
-          Msg:   SkGeInitPort() cannot init running ports"
-Reason:   You are using a driver compiled for single processor machines 
-          on a multiprocessor machine with SMP (Symmetric MultiProcessor) 
-          kernel.
-Solution: Configure your kernel appropriately and recompile the kernel or
-          the modules.
-
-
-
-If your problem is not listed here, please contact SysKonnect's technical
-support for help (linux@syskonnect.de).
-When contacting our technical support, please ensure that the following 
-information is available:
-- System Manufacturer and HW Informations (CPU, Memory... )
-- PCI-Boards in your system
-- Distribution
-- Kernel version
-- Driver version

-Linux WAN Router Utilities Package
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Version 2.2.1 
-Mar 28, 2001
-Author: Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com>
-Copyright (c) 1995-2001 Sangoma Technologies Inc.

-
-INTRODUCTION
-
-Wide Area Networks (WANs) are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs)
-and/or stand-alone hosts over vast distances with data transfer rates
-significantly higher than those achievable with commonly used dial-up
-connections.
-
-Usually an external device called `WAN router' sitting on your local network
-or connected to your machine's serial port provides physical connection to
-WAN.  Although router's job may be as simple as taking your local network
-traffic, converting it to WAN format and piping it through the WAN link, these
-devices are notoriously expensive, with prices as much as 2 - 5 times higher
-then the price of a typical PC box.
-
-Alternatively, considering robustness and multitasking capabilities of Linux,
-an internal router can be built (most routers use some sort of stripped down
-Unix-like operating system anyway). With a number of relatively inexpensive WAN
-interface cards available on the market, a perfectly usable router can be
-built for less than half a price of an external router.  Yet a Linux box
-acting as a router can still be used for other purposes, such as fire-walling,
-running FTP, WWW or DNS server, etc.
-
-This kernel module introduces the notion of a WAN Link Driver (WLD) to Linux
-operating system and provides generic hardware-independent services for such
-drivers.  Why can existing Linux network device interface not be used for
-this purpose?  Well, it can.  However, there are a few key differences between
-a typical network interface (e.g. Ethernet) and a WAN link.
-
-Many WAN protocols, such as X.25 and frame relay, allow for multiple logical
-connections (known as `virtual circuits' in X.25 terminology) over a single
-physical link.  Each such virtual circuit may (and almost always does) lead
-to a different geographical location and, therefore, different network.  As a
-result, it is the virtual circuit, not the physical link, that represents a
-route and, therefore, a network interface in Linux terms.
-
-To further complicate things, virtual circuits are usually volatile in nature
-(excluding so called `permanent' virtual circuits or PVCs).  With almost no
-time required to set up and tear down a virtual circuit, it is highly desirable
-to implement on-demand connections in order to minimize network charges.  So
-unlike a typical network driver, the WAN driver must be able to handle multiple
-network interfaces and cope as multiple virtual circuits come into existence
-and go away dynamically.
- 
-Last, but not least, WAN configuration is much more complex than that of say
-Ethernet and may well amount to several dozens of parameters.  Some of them
-are "link-wide"  while others are virtual circuit-specific.  The same holds
-true for WAN statistics which is by far more extensive and extremely useful
-when troubleshooting WAN connections.  Extending the ifconfig utility to suit
-these needs may be possible, but does not seem quite reasonable.  Therefore, a
-WAN configuration utility and corresponding application programmer's interface
-is needed for this purpose.
-
-Most of these problems are taken care of by this module.  Its goal is to
-provide a user with more-or-less standard look and feel for all WAN devices and
-assist a WAN device driver writer by providing common services, such as:
-
- o User-level interface via /proc file system
- o Centralized configuration
- o Device management (setup, shutdown, etc.)
- o Network interface management (dynamic creation/destruction)
- o Protocol encapsulation/decapsulation
-
-To ba able to use the Linux WAN Router you will also need a WAN Tools package
-available from
-
-	ftp.sangoma.com/pub/linux/current_wanpipe/wanpipe-X.Y.Z.tgz
-
-where vX.Y.Z represent the wanpipe version number.

-ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
-
-This product is based on the WANPIPE(tm) Multiprotocol WAN Router developed
-by Sangoma Technologies Inc. for Linux 2.0.x and 2.2.x.  Success of the WANPIPE
-together with the next major release of Linux kernel in summer 1996 commanded
-adequate changes to the WANPIPE code to take full advantage of new Linux
-features.
-
-Instead of continuing developing proprietary interface tied to Sangoma WAN
-cards, we decided to separate all hardware-independent code into a separate
-module and defined two levels of interfaces - one for user-level applications
-and another for kernel-level WAN drivers.  WANPIPE is now implemented as a
-WAN driver compliant with the WAN Link Driver interface.  Also a general
-purpose WAN configuration utility and a set of shell scripts was developed to 
-support WAN router at the user level.
-
-Many useful ideas concerning hardware-independent interface implementation
-were given by Mike McLagan <mike.mclagan@linux.org> and his implementation
-of the Frame Relay router and drivers for Sangoma cards (dlci/sdla).
-
-With the new implementation of the APIs being incorporated into the WANPIPE,
-a special thank goes to Alan Cox in providing insight into BSD sockets.
-
-Special thanks to all the WANPIPE users who performed field-testing, reported
-bugs and made valuable comments and suggestions that help us to improve this
-product.

-				o New CHDLC and Frame Relay drivers
-				o PPP and X25 are not supported in this release    
-
-2.1.1	Nov 30, 1999		o PPP support for S514 PCI Cards

-				o Architectural directory changes.
-
-beta-2.1.4 Jul 2000		o Dynamic interface configuration:
-					Network interfaces reflect the state
-					of protocol layer.  If the protocol becomes
-					disconnected, driver will bring down
-					the interface.  Once the protocol reconnects
-					the interface will be brought up. 
-					
-					Note: This option is turned off by default.
-
-				o Dynamic wanrouter setup using 'wanconfig':
-					wanconfig utility can be used to
-					shutdown,restart,start or reconfigure 
-					a virtual circuit dynamically.
-				     
-					Frame Relay:  Each DLCI can be: 
-						      created,stopped,restarted and reconfigured
-						      dynamically using wanconfig.
-					
-						      ex: wanconfig card wanpipe1 dev wp1_fr16 up
-				  
-				o Wanrouter startup via command line arguments:
-					wanconfig also supports wanrouter startup via command line
-					arguments.  Thus, there is no need to create a wanpipe#.conf
-					configuration file.  
-
-				o Socket based x25api update/bug fixes.
-					Added support for LCN numbers greater than 255.
-					Option to pass up modem messages.
-					Provided a PCI IRQ check, so a single S514
-					card is guaranteed to have a non-sharing interrupt.
-
-				o Fixes to the wancfg utility.
-				o New FT1 debugging support via *pipemon utilities.
-				o Frame Relay ARP support Enabled.
-
-beta3-2.1.4 Jul 2000		o X25 M_BIT Problem fix.
-				o Added the Multi-Port PPP
-				  Updated utilities for the Multi-Port PPP.
-
-2.1.4	Aut 2000
-				o In X25API:
-					Maximum packet an application can send
-					to the driver has been extended to 4096 bytes.
-
-					Fixed the x25 startup bug. Enable 
-					communications only after all interfaces
-					come up.  HIGH SVC/PVC is used to calculate
-					the number of channels.
-					Enable protocol only after all interfaces
-					are enabled.
-
-				o Added an extra state to the FT1 config, kernel module.
-				o Updated the pipemon debuggers.
-
-				o Blocked the Multi-Port PPP from running on kernels
-				  2.2.16 or greater, due to syncppp kernel module
-				  change. 
-	  
-beta1-2.1.5 	Nov 15 2000
-				o Fixed the MultiPort PPP Support for kernels 2.2.16 and above.
-				  2.2.X kernels only
-
-				o Secured the driver UDP debugging calls
-					- All illegal network debugging calls are reported to
-					  the log.
-					- Defined a set of allowed commands, all other denied.
-					
-				o Cpipemon
-					- Added set FT1 commands to the cpipemon. Thus CSU/DSU
-					  configuration can be performed using cpipemon.
-					  All systems that cannot run cfgft1 GUI utility should
-					  use cpipemon to configure the on board CSU/DSU.
-
-
-				o Keyboard Led Monitor/Debugger
-					- A new utility /usr/sbin/wpkbdmon uses keyboard leds
-					  to convey operational statistic information of the 
-					  Sangoma WANPIPE cards.
-					NUM_LOCK    = Line State  (On=connected,    Off=disconnected)
-					CAPS_LOCK   = Tx data     (On=transmitting, Off=no tx data)
-					SCROLL_LOCK = Rx data     (On=receiving,    Off=no rx data
-					
-				o Hardware probe on module load and dynamic device allocation
-					- During WANPIPE module load, all Sangoma cards are probed
-					  and found information is printed in the /var/log/messages.
-					- If no cards are found, the module load fails.
-					- Appropriate number of devices are dynamically loaded 
-					  based on the number of Sangoma cards found.
-
-					  Note: The kernel configuration option 
-						CONFIG_WANPIPE_CARDS has been taken out.
-					
-				o Fixed the Frame Relay and Chdlc network interfaces so they are
-				  compatible with libpcap libraries.  Meaning, tcpdump, snort,
-				  ethereal, and all other packet sniffers and debuggers work on
-				  all WANPIPE network interfaces.
-					- Set the network interface encoding type to ARPHRD_PPP.
-					  This tell the sniffers that data obtained from the
-					  network interface is in pure IP format.
-				  Fix for 2.2.X kernels only.
-				
-				o True interface encoding option for Frame Relay and CHDLC
-					- The above fix sets the network interface encoding
-					  type to ARPHRD_PPP, however some customers use
-					  the encoding interface type to determine the
-					  protocol running.  Therefore, the TURE ENCODING
-					  option will set the interface type back to the
-					  original value.  
-
-					  NOTE: If this option is used with Frame Relay and CHDLC
-						libpcap library support will be broken.  
-						i.e. tcpdump will not work.
-					Fix for 2.2.x Kernels only.
-						
-				o Ethernet Bridgind over Frame Relay
-					- The Frame Relay bridging has been developed by 
-					  Kristian Hoffmann and Mark Wells.  
-					- The Linux kernel bridge is used to send ethernet 
-					  data over the frame relay links.
-					For 2.2.X Kernels only.
-
-				o Added extensive 2.0.X support. Most new features of
-				  2.1.5 for protocols Frame Relay, PPP and CHDLC are
-				  supported under 2.0.X kernels. 
-
-beta1-2.2.0 	Dec 30 2000
-				o Updated drivers for 2.4.X kernels.
-				o Updated drivers for SMP support.
-				o X25API is now able to share PCI interrupts.
-				o Took out a general polling routine that was used
-				  only by X25API. 
-				o Added appropriate locks to the dynamic reconfiguration
-				  code.
-				o Fixed a bug in the keyboard debug monitor.
-
-beta2-2.2.0	Jan 8 2001
-				o Patches for 2.4.0 kernel
-				o Patches for 2.2.18 kernel
-				o Minor updates to PPP and CHLDC drivers.
-				  Note: No functional difference.
-
-beta3-2.2.9	Jan 10 2001
-				o I missed the 2.2.18 kernel patches in beta2-2.2.0
-				  release.  They are included in this release.
-
-Stable Release
-2.2.0		Feb 01 2001
-				o Bug fix in wancfg GUI configurator.
-					The edit function didn't work properly.
-
-
-bata1-2.2.1	Feb 09 2001
-			o WANPIPE TTY Driver emulation. 
-			  Two modes of operation Sync and Async.
-				Sync: Using the PPPD daemon, kernel SyncPPP layer
-				      and the Wanpipe sync TTY driver: a PPP protocol 
-				      connection can be established via Sangoma adapter, over
-				      a T1 leased line.
-			
-				      The 2.4.0 kernel PPP layer supports MULTILINK
-				      protocol, that can be used to bundle any number of Sangoma
-				      adapters (T1 lines) into one, under a single IP address.
-				      Thus, efficiently obtaining multiple T1 throughput. 
-
-				      NOTE: The remote side must also implement MULTILINK PPP
-					    protocol.
-
-				Async:Using the PPPD daemon, kernel AsyncPPP layer
-				      and the WANPIPE async TTY driver: a PPP protocol
-				      connection can be established via Sangoma adapter and
-				      a modem, over a telephone line.
-
-				      Thus, the WANPIPE async TTY driver simulates a serial
-				      TTY driver that would normally be used to interface the 
-				      MODEM to the linux kernel.
-				
-			o WANPIPE PPP Backup Utility
-				This utility will monitor the state of the PPP T1 line.
-				In case of failure, a dial up connection will be established
-				via pppd daemon, ether via a serial tty driver (serial port), 
-				or a WANPIPE async TTY driver (in case serial port is unavailable).
-				
-				Furthermore, while in dial up mode, the primary PPP T1 link
-				will be monitored for signs of life.  
-
-				If the PPP T1 link comes back to life, the dial up connection
-				will be shutdown and T1 line re-established.
-			
-
-			o New Setup installation script.
-				Option to UPGRADE device drivers if the kernel source has
-				already been patched with WANPIPE.
-
-				Option to COMPILE WANPIPE modules against the currently 
-				running kernel, thus no need for manual kernel and module
-				re-compilation.
-			
-			o Updates and Bug Fixes to wancfg utility.
-
-bata2-2.2.1	Feb 20 2001
-
-			o Bug fixes to the CHDLC device drivers.
-				The driver had compilation problems under kernels
-				2.2.14 or lower.
-
-			o Bug fixes to the Setup installation script.
-				The device drivers compilation options didn't work
-				properly.
-
-			o Update to the wpbackupd daemon.  
-				Optimized the cross-over times, between the primary
-				link and the backup dialup.
-
-beta3-2.2.1	Mar 02 2001
-			o Patches for 2.4.2 kernel.
-
-			o Bug fixes to util/ make files.
-			o Bug fixes to the Setup installation script.
-
-			o Took out the backupd support and made it into
-			  as separate package.
-			  
-beta4-2.2.1     Mar 12 2001
-
-		o Fix to the Frame Relay Device driver.
-			IPSAC sends a packet of zero length
-			header to the frame relay driver.  The
-			driver tries to push its own 2 byte header
-			into the packet, which causes the driver to
-			crash.
-
-		o Fix the WANPIPE re-configuration code.
-			Bug was found by trying to run  the cfgft1 while the
-			interface was already running.  
-
-		o Updates to cfgft1.
-			Writes a wanpipe#.cfgft1 configuration file
-			once the CSU/DSU is configured. This file can
-			holds the current CSU/DSU configuration.

+VII - Marvell Discovery mv64[345]6x System Controller chips
+===========================================================
 
-VII - Specifying interrupt information for devices
+The Marvell mv64[345]60 series of system controller chips contain
+many of the peripherals needed to implement a complete computer
+system.  In this section, we define device tree nodes to describe
+the system controller chip itself and each of the peripherals
+which it contains.  Compatible string values for each node are
+prefixed with the string "marvell,", for Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
+
+1) The /system-controller node
+
+  This node is used to represent the system-controller and must be
+  present when the system uses a system contller chip. The top-level
+  system-controller node contains information that is global to all
+  devices within the system controller chip. The node name begins
+  with "system-controller" followed by the unit address, which is
+  the base address of the memory-mapped register set for the system
+  controller chip.
+
+  Required properties:
+
+    - ranges : Describes the translation of system controller addresses
+      for memory mapped registers.
+    - clock-frequency: Contains the main clock frequency for the system
+      controller chip.
+    - reg : This property defines the address and size of the
+      memory-mapped registers contained within the system controller
+      chip.  The address specified in the "reg" property should match
+      the unit address of the system-controller node.
+    - #address-cells : Address representation for system controller
+      devices.  This field represents the number of cells needed to
+      represent the address of the memory-mapped registers of devices
+      within the system controller chip.
+    - #size-cells : Size representation for for the memory-mapped
+      registers within the system controller chip.
+    - #interrupt-cells : Defines the width of cells used to represent
+      interrupts.
+
+  Optional properties:
+
+    - model : The specific model of the system controller chip.  Such
+      as, "mv64360", "mv64460", or "mv64560".
+    - compatible : A string identifying the compatibility identifiers
+      of the system controller chip.
+
+  The system-controller node contains child nodes for each system
+  controller device that the platform uses.  Nodes should not be created
+  for devices which exist on the system controller chip but are not used
+
+  Example Marvell Discovery mv64360 system-controller node:
+
+    system-controller@f1000000 { /* Marvell Discovery mv64360 */
+	    #address-cells = <1>;
+	    #size-cells = <1>;
+	    model = "mv64360";                      /* Default */
+	    compatible = "marvell,mv64360";
+	    clock-frequency = <133333333>;
+	    reg = <0xf1000000 0x10000>;
+	    virtual-reg = <0xf1000000>;
+	    ranges = <0x88000000 0x88000000 0x1000000 /* PCI 0 I/O Space */
+		    0x80000000 0x80000000 0x8000000 /* PCI 0 MEM Space */
+		    0xa0000000 0xa0000000 0x4000000 /* User FLASH */
+		    0x00000000 0xf1000000 0x0010000 /* Bridge's regs */
+		    0xf2000000 0xf2000000 0x0040000>;/* Integrated SRAM */
+
+	    [ child node definitions... ]
+    }
+
+2) Child nodes of /system-controller
+
+   a) Marvell Discovery MDIO bus
+
+   The MDIO is a bus to which the PHY devices are connected.  For each
+   device that exists on this bus, a child node should be created.  See
+   the definition of the PHY node below for an example of how to define
+   a PHY.
+
+   Required properties:
+     - #address-cells : Should be <1>
+     - #size-cells : Should be <0>
+     - device_type : Should be "mdio"
+     - compatible : Should be "marvell,mv64360-mdio"
+
+   Example:
+
+     mdio {

+
+	     ethernet-phy@0 {
+		     ......
+	     };
+     };
+
+
+   b) Marvell Discovery ethernet controller
+
+   The Discover ethernet controller is described with two levels
+   of nodes.  The first level describes an ethernet silicon block
+   and the second level describes up to 3 ethernet nodes within
+   that block.  The reason for the multiple levels is that the
+   registers for the node are interleaved within a single set
+   of registers.  The "ethernet-block" level describes the
+   shared register set, and the "ethernet" nodes describe ethernet
+   port-specific properties.

+       controller.
+     - local-mac-address : 6 bytes, MAC address
+
+   Example Discovery Ethernet port node:
+     ethernet@0 {
+	     device_type = "network";
+	     compatible = "marvell,mv64360-eth";
+	     reg = <0>;
+	     interrupts = <32>;

+                   Hypervisor-Assisted Dump
+                   ------------------------
+                       November 2007
+
+The goal of hypervisor-assisted dump is to enable the dump of
+a crashed system, and to do so from a fully-reset system, and
+to minimize the total elapsed time until the system is back
+in production use.
+
+As compared to kdump or other strategies, hypervisor-assisted
+dump offers several strong, practical advantages:
+
+-- Unlike kdump, the system has been reset, and loaded
+   with a fresh copy of the kernel.  In particular,
+   PCI and I/O devices have been reinitialized and are
+   in a clean, consistent state.
+-- As the dump is performed, the dumped memory becomes
+   immediately available to the system for normal use.
+-- After the dump is completed, no further reboots are
+   required; the system will be fully usable, and running
+   in it's normal, production mode on it normal kernel.
+
+The above can only be accomplished by coordination with,
+and assistance from the hypervisor. The procedure is
+as follows:
+
+-- When a system crashes, the hypervisor will save
+   the low 256MB of RAM to a previously registered
+   save region. It will also save system state, system
+   registers, and hardware PTE's.
+
+-- After the low 256MB area has been saved, the
+   hypervisor will reset PCI and other hardware state.
+   It will *not* clear RAM. It will then launch the
+   bootloader, as normal.
+
+-- The freshly booted kernel will notice that there
+   is a new node (ibm,dump-kernel) in the device tree,
+   indicating that there is crash data available from
+   a previous boot. It will boot into only 256MB of RAM,
+   reserving the rest of system memory.
+
+-- Userspace tools will parse /sys/kernel/release_region
+   and read /proc/vmcore to obtain the contents of memory,
+   which holds the previous crashed kernel. The userspace
+   tools may copy this info to disk, or network, nas, san,
+   iscsi, etc. as desired.
+
+   For Example: the values in /sys/kernel/release-region
+   would look something like this (address-range pairs).
+   CPU:0x177fee000-0x10000: HPTE:0x177ffe020-0x1000: /
+   DUMP:0x177fff020-0x10000000, 0x10000000-0x16F1D370A
+
+-- As the userspace tools complete saving a portion of
+   dump, they echo an offset and size to
+   /sys/kernel/release_region to release the reserved
+   memory back to general use.
+
+   An example of this is:
+     "echo 0x40000000 0x10000000 > /sys/kernel/release_region"
+   which will release 256MB at the 1GB boundary.
+
+Please note that the hypervisor-assisted dump feature
+is only available on Power6-based systems with recent
+firmware versions.
+
+Implementation details:
+----------------------
+
+During boot, a check is made to see if firmware supports
+this feature on this particular machine. If it does, then
+we check to see if a active dump is waiting for us. If yes
+then everything but 256 MB of RAM is reserved during early
+boot. This area is released once we collect a dump from user
+land scripts that are run. If there is dump data, then
+the /sys/kernel/release_region file is created, and
+the reserved memory is held.
+
+If there is no waiting dump data, then only the highest
+256MB of the ram is reserved as a scratch area. This area
+is *not* released: this region will be kept permanently
+reserved, so that it can act as a receptacle for a copy
+of the low 256MB in the case a crash does occur. See,
+however, "open issues" below, as to whether
+such a reserved region is really needed.
+
+Currently the dump will be copied from /proc/vmcore to a
+a new file upon user intervention. The starting address
+to be read and the range for each data point in provided
+in /sys/kernel/release_region.
+
+The tools to examine the dump will be same as the ones
+used for kdump.
+
+General notes:
+--------------
+Security: please note that there are potential security issues
+with any sort of dump mechanism. In particular, plaintext
+(unencrypted) data, and possibly passwords, may be present in
+the dump data. Userspace tools must take adequate precautions to
+preserve security.
+
+Open issues/ToDo:
+------------
+ o The various code paths that tell the hypervisor that a crash
+   occurred, vs. it simply being a normal reboot, should be
+   reviewed, and possibly clarified/fixed.
+
+ o Instead of using /sys/kernel, should there be a /sys/dump
+   instead? There is a dump_subsys being created by the s390 code,
+   perhaps the pseries code should use a similar layout as well.
+
+ o Is reserving a 256MB region really required? The goal of
+   reserving a 256MB scratch area is to make sure that no
+   important crash data is clobbered when the hypervisor
+   save low mem to the scratch area. But, if one could assure
+   that nothing important is located in some 256MB area, then
+   it would not need to be reserved. Something that can be
+   improved in subsequent versions.
+
+ o Still working the kdump team to integrate this with kdump,
+   some work remains but this would not affect the current
+   patches.
+
+ o Still need to write a shell script, to copy the dump away.
+   Currently I am parsing it manually.

-Real-Time group scheduling.
-
-The problem space:
-
-In order to schedule multiple groups of realtime tasks each group must
-be assigned a fixed portion of the CPU time available. Without a minimum
-guarantee a realtime group can obviously fall short. A fuzzy upper limit
-is of no use since it cannot be relied upon. Which leaves us with just
-the single fixed portion.
-
-CPU time is divided by means of specifying how much time can be spent
-running in a given period. Say a frame fixed realtime renderer must
-deliver 25 frames a second, which yields a period of 0.04s. Now say
-it will also have to play some music and respond to input, leaving it
-with around 80% for the graphics. We can then give this group a runtime
-of 0.8 * 0.04s = 0.032s.
-
-This way the graphics group will have a 0.04s period with a 0.032s runtime
-limit.
-
-Now if the audio thread needs to refill the DMA buffer every 0.005s, but
-needs only about 3% CPU time to do so, it can do with a 0.03 * 0.005s
-= 0.00015s.

-
-[ time is specified in us because the interface is s32; this gives an
-  operating range of ~35m to 1us ]
-
-The period takes values in [ 1, INT_MAX ], runtime in [ -1, INT_MAX - 1 ].
-
-A runtime of -1 specifies runtime == period, ie. no limit.

-New groups get the period from /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us and

+multiple groups of realtime tasks, each group must be assigned a fixed portion
+of the CPU time available.  Without a minimum guarantee a realtime group can
+obviously fall short. A fuzzy upper limit is of no use since it cannot be
+relied upon. Which leaves us with just the single fixed portion.
+
+1.2 The solution
+----------------
+
+CPU time is divided by means of specifying how much time can be spent running
+in a given period. We allocate this "run time" for each realtime group which
+the other realtime groups will not be permitted to use.
+
+Any time not allocated to a realtime group will be used to run normal priority
+tasks (SCHED_OTHER). Any allocated run time not used will also be picked up by
+SCHED_OTHER.
+
+Let's consider an example: a frame fixed realtime renderer must deliver 25
+frames a second, which yields a period of 0.04s per frame. Now say it will also
+have to play some music and respond to input, leaving it with around 80% CPU
+time dedicated for the graphics. We can then give this group a run time of 0.8
+* 0.04s = 0.032s.
+
+This way the graphics group will have a 0.04s period with a 0.032s run time
+limit. Now if the audio thread needs to refill the DMA buffer every 0.005s, but
+needs only about 3% CPU time to do so, it can do with a 0.03 * 0.005s =
+0.00015s. So this group can be scheduled with a period of 0.005s and a run time
+of 0.00015s.
+
+The remaining CPU time will be used for user input and other tass. Because
+realtime tasks have explicitly allocated the CPU time they need to perform
+their tasks, buffer underruns in the graphocs or audio can be eliminated.
+
+NOTE: the above example is not fully implemented as of yet (2.6.25). We still
+lack an EDF scheduler to make non-uniform periods usable.
+
+
+2. The Interface
+================
+
+
+2.1 System wide settings
+------------------------
+
+The system wide settings are configured under the /proc virtual file system:
+
+/proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us:
+  The scheduling period that is equivalent to 100% CPU bandwidth
+
+/proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us:
+  A global limit on how much time realtime scheduling may use.  Even without
+  CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED enabled, this will limit time reserved to realtime
+  processes. With CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED it signifies the total bandwidth
+  available to all realtime groups.
+
+  * Time is specified in us because the interface is s32. This gives an
+    operating range from 1us to about 35 minutes.
+  * sched_rt_period_us takes values from 1 to INT_MAX.
+  * sched_rt_runtime_us takes values from -1 to (INT_MAX - 1).
+  * A run time of -1 specifies runtime == period, ie. no limit.
+
+
+2.2 Default behaviour
+---------------------
+
+The default values for sched_rt_period_us (1000000 or 1s) and
+sched_rt_runtime_us (950000 or 0.95s).  This gives 0.05s to be used by
+SCHED_OTHER (non-RT tasks). These defaults were chosen so that a run-away
+realtime tasks will not lock up the machine but leave a little time to recover
+it.  By setting runtime to -1 you'd get the old behaviour back.
+
+By default all bandwidth is assigned to the root group and new groups get the
+period from /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us and a run time of 0. If you
+want to assign bandwidth to another group, reduce the root group's bandwidth
+and assign some or all of the difference to another group.
+
+Realtime group scheduling means you have to assign a portion of total CPU
+bandwidth to the group before it will accept realtime tasks. Therefore you will
+not be able to run realtime tasks as any user other than root until you have
+done that, even if the user has the rights to run processes with realtime
+priority!
+
+
+2.3 Basis for grouping tasks
+----------------------------
+
+There are two compile-time settings for allocating CPU bandwidth. These are
+configured using the "Basis for grouping tasks" multiple choice menu under
+General setup > Group CPU Scheduler:
+
+a. CONFIG_USER_SCHED (aka "Basis for grouping tasks" =  "user id")
+
+This lets you use the virtual files under
+"/sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_rt_runtime_us" to control he CPU time reserved for
+each user .
+
+The other option is:
+
+.o CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED (aka "Basis for grouping tasks" = "Control groups")
+
+This uses the /cgroup virtual file system and "/cgroup/<cgroup>/cpu.rt_runtime_us"
+to control the CPU time reserved for each control group instead.
+
+For more information on working with control groups, you should read
+Documentation/cgroups.txt as well.
+
+Group settings are checked against the following limits in order to keep the configuration
+schedulable:
+
+   \Sum_{i} runtime_{i} / global_period <= global_runtime / global_period
+
+For now, this can be simplified to just the following (but see Future plans):
+
+   \Sum_{i} runtime_{i} <= global_runtime
+
+
+3. Future plans
+===============
+
+There is work in progress to make the scheduling period for each group
+("/sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_rt_period_us" or
+"/cgroup/<cgroup>/cpu.rt_period_us" respectively) configurable as well.
+
+The constraint on the period is that a subgroup must have a smaller or
+equal period to its parent. But realistically its not very useful _yet_
+as its prone to starvation without deadline scheduling.
+
+Consider two sibling groups A and B; both have 50% bandwidth, but A's
+period is twice the length of B's.
+
+* group A: period=100000us, runtime=10000us
+	- this runs for 0.01s once every 0.1s
+
+* group B: period= 50000us, runtime=10000us
+	- this runs for 0.01s twice every 0.1s (or once every 0.05 sec).
+
+This means that currently a while (1) loop in A will run for the full period of
+B and can starve B's tasks (assuming they are of lower priority) for a whole
+period.
+
+The next project will be SCHED_EDF (Earliest Deadline First scheduling) to bring
+full deadline scheduling to the linux kernel. Deadline scheduling the above
+groups and treating end of the period as a deadline will ensure that they both
+get their allocated time.
+
+Implementing SCHED_EDF might take a while to complete. Priority Inheritance is
+the biggest challenge as the current linux PI infrastructure is geared towards
+the limited static priority levels 0-139. With deadline scheduling you need to
+do deadline inheritance (since priority is inversely proportional to the
+deadline delta (deadline - now).
+
+This means the whole PI machinery will have to be reworked - and that is one of
+the most complex pieces of code we have.
