+Adding a New System Call
+========================
+
+This document describes what's involved in adding a new system call to the
+Linux kernel, over and above the normal submission advice in
+Documentation/SubmittingPatches.
+
+
+System Call Alternatives
+------------------------
+
+The first thing to consider when adding a new system call is whether one of
+the alternatives might be suitable instead.  Although system calls are the
+most traditional and most obvious interaction points between userspace and the
+kernel, there are other possibilities -- choose what fits best for your
+interface.
+
+ - If the operations involved can be made to look like a filesystem-like
+   object, it may make more sense to create a new filesystem or device.  This
+   also makes it easier to encapsulate the new functionality in a kernel module
+   rather than requiring it to be built into the main kernel.
+     - If the new functionality involves operations where the kernel notifies
+       userspace that something has happened, then returning a new file
+       descriptor for the relevant object allows userspace to use
+       poll/select/epoll to receive that notification.
+     - However, operations that don't map to read(2)/write(2)-like operations
+       have to be implemented as ioctl(2) requests, which can lead to a
+       somewhat opaque API.
+ - If you're just exposing runtime system information, a new node in sysfs
+   (see Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt) or the /proc filesystem may be
+   more appropriate.  However, access to these mechanisms requires that the
+   relevant filesystem is mounted, which might not always be the case (e.g.
+   in a namespaced/sandboxed/chrooted environment).  Avoid adding any API to
+   debugfs, as this is not considered a 'production' interface to userspace.
+ - If the operation is specific to a particular file or file descriptor, then
+   an additional fcntl(2) command option may be more appropriate.  However,
+   fcntl(2) is a multiplexing system call that hides a lot of complexity, so
+   this option is best for when the new function is closely analogous to
+   existing fcntl(2) functionality, or the new functionality is very simple
+   (for example, getting/setting a simple flag related to a file descriptor).
+ - If the operation is specific to a particular task or process, then an
+   additional prctl(2) command option may be more appropriate.  As with
+   fcntl(2), this system call is a complicated multiplexor so is best reserved
+   for near-analogs of existing prctl() commands or getting/setting a simple
+   flag related to a process.
+
+
+Designing the API: Planning for Extension
+-----------------------------------------
+
+A new system call forms part of the API of the kernel, and has to be supported
+indefinitely.  As such, it's a very good idea to explicitly discuss the
+interface on the kernel mailing list, and it's important to plan for future
+extensions of the interface.
+
+(The syscall table is littered with historical examples where this wasn't done,
+together with the corresponding follow-up system calls -- eventfd/eventfd2,
+dup2/dup3, inotify_init/inotify_init1,  pipe/pipe2, renameat/renameat2 -- so
+learn from the history of the kernel and plan for extensions from the start.)
+
+For simpler system calls that only take a couple of arguments, the preferred
+way to allow for future extensibility is to include a flags argument to the
+system call.  To make sure that userspace programs can safely use flags
+between kernel versions, check whether the flags value holds any unknown
+flags, and reject the system call (with EINVAL) if it does:
+
+    if (flags & ~(THING_FLAG1 | THING_FLAG2 | THING_FLAG3))
+        return -EINVAL;
+
+(If no flags values are used yet, check that the flags argument is zero.)
+
+For more sophisticated system calls that involve a larger number of arguments,
+it's preferred to encapsulate the majority of the arguments into a structure
+that is passed in by pointer.  Such a structure can cope with future extension
+by including a size argument in the structure:
+
+    struct xyzzy_params {
+        u32 size; /* userspace sets p->size = sizeof(struct xyzzy_params) */
+        u32 param_1;
+        u64 param_2;
+        u64 param_3;
+    };
+
+As long as any subsequently added field, say param_4, is designed so that a
+zero value gives the previous behaviour, then this allows both directions of
+version mismatch:
+
+ - To cope with a later userspace program calling an older kernel, the kernel
+   code should check that any memory beyond the size of the structure that it
+   expects is zero (effectively checking that param_4 == 0).
+ - To cope with an older userspace program calling a newer kernel, the kernel
+   code can zero-extend a smaller instance of the structure (effectively
+   setting param_4 = 0).
+
+See perf_event_open(2) and the perf_copy_attr() function (in
+kernel/events/core.c) for an example of this approach.
+
+
+Designing the API: Other Considerations
+---------------------------------------
+
+If your new system call allows userspace to refer to a kernel object, it
+should use a file descriptor as the handle for that object -- don't invent a
+new type of userspace object handle when the kernel already has mechanisms and
+well-defined semantics for using file descriptors.
+
+If your new xyzzy(2) system call does return a new file descriptor, then the
+flags argument should include a value that is equivalent to setting O_CLOEXEC
+on the new FD.  This makes it possible for userspace to close the timing
+window between xyzzy() and calling fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC), where an
+unexpected fork() and execve() in another thread could leak a descriptor to
+the exec'ed program. (However, resist the temptation to re-use the actual value
+of the O_CLOEXEC constant, as it is architecture-specific and is part of a
+numbering space of O_* flags that is fairly full.)
+
+If your system call returns a new file descriptor, you should also consider
+what it means to use the poll(2) family of system calls on that file
+descriptor. Making a file descriptor ready for reading or writing is the
+normal way for the kernel to indicate to userspace that an event has
+occurred on the corresponding kernel object.
+
+If your new xyzzy(2) system call involves a filename argument:
+
+    int sys_xyzzy(const char __user *path, ..., unsigned int flags);
+
+you should also consider whether an xyzzyat(2) version is more appropriate:
+
+    int sys_xyzzyat(int dfd, const char __user *path, ..., unsigned int flags);
+
+This allows more flexibility for how userspace specifies the file in question;
+in particular it allows userspace to request the functionality for an
+already-opened file descriptor using the AT_EMPTY_PATH flag, effectively giving
+an fxyzzy(3) operation for free:
+
+ - xyzzyat(AT_FDCWD, path, ..., 0) is equivalent to xyzzy(path,...)
+ - xyzzyat(fd, "", ..., AT_EMPTY_PATH) is equivalent to fxyzzy(fd, ...)
+
+(For more details on the rationale of the *at() calls, see the openat(2) man
+page; for an example of AT_EMPTY_PATH, see the statat(2) man page.)
+
+If your new xyzzy(2) system call involves a parameter describing an offset
+within a file, make its type loff_t so that 64-bit offsets can be supported
+even on 32-bit architectures.
+
+If your new xyzzy(2) system call involves privileged functionality, it needs
+to be governed by the appropriate Linux capability bit (checked with a call to
+capable()), as described in the capabilities(7) man page.  Choose an existing
+capability bit that governs related functionality, but try to avoid combining
+lots of only vaguely related functions together under the same bit, as this
+goes against capabilities' purpose of splitting the power of root.  In
+particular, avoid adding new uses of the already overly-general CAP_SYS_ADMIN
+capability.
+
+If your new xyzzy(2) system call manipulates a process other than the calling
+process, it should be restricted (using a call to ptrace_may_access()) so that
+only a calling process with the same permissions as the target process, or
+with the necessary capabilities, can manipulate the target process.
+
+Finally, be aware that some non-x86 architectures have an easier time if
+system call parameters that are explicitly 64-bit fall on odd-numbered
+arguments (i.e. parameter 1, 3, 5), to allow use of contiguous pairs of 32-bit
+registers.  (This concern does not apply if the arguments are part of a
+structure that's passed in by pointer.)
+
+
+Proposing the API
+-----------------
+
+To make new system calls easy to review, it's best to divide up the patchset
+into separate chunks.  These should include at least the following items as
+distinct commits (each of which is described further below):
+
+ - The core implementation of the system call, together with prototypes,
+   generic numbering, Kconfig changes and fallback stub implementation.
+ - Wiring up of the new system call for one particular architecture, usually
+   x86 (including all of x86_64, x86_32 and x32).
+ - A demonstration of the use of the new system call in userspace via a
+   selftest in tools/testing/selftests/.
+ - A draft man-page for the new system call, either as plain text in the
+   cover letter, or as a patch to the (separate) man-pages repository.
+
+New system call proposals, like any change to the kernel's API, should always
+be cc'ed to linux-api@vger.kernel.org.
+
+
+Generic System Call Implementation
+----------------------------------
+
+The main entry point for your new xyzzy(2) system call will be called
+sys_xyzzy(), but you add this entry point with the appropriate
+SYSCALL_DEFINEn() macro rather than explicitly.  The 'n' indicates the number
+of arguments to the system call, and the macro takes the system call name
+followed by the (type, name) pairs for the parameters as arguments.  Using
+this macro allows metadata about the new system call to be made available for
+other tools.
+
+The new entry point also needs a corresponding function prototype, in
+include/linux/syscalls.h, marked as asmlinkage to match the way that system
+calls are invoked:
+
+    asmlinkage long sys_xyzzy(...);
+
+Some architectures (e.g. x86) have their own architecture-specific syscall
+tables, but several other architectures share a generic syscall table. Add your
+new system call to the generic list by adding an entry to the list in
+include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h:
+
+    #define __NR_xyzzy 292
+    __SYSCALL(__NR_xyzzy, sys_xyzzy)
+
+Also update the __NR_syscalls count to reflect the additional system call, and
+note that if multiple new system calls are added in the same merge window,
+your new syscall number may get adjusted to resolve conflicts.
+
+The file kernel/sys_ni.c provides a fallback stub implementation of each system
+call, returning -ENOSYS.  Add your new system call here too:
+
+    cond_syscall(sys_xyzzy);
+
+Your new kernel functionality, and the system call that controls it, should
+normally be optional, so add a CONFIG option (typically to init/Kconfig) for
+it. As usual for new CONFIG options:
+
+ - Include a description of the new functionality and system call controlled
+   by the option.
+ - Make the option depend on EXPERT if it should be hidden from normal users.
+ - Make any new source files implementing the function dependent on the CONFIG
+   option in the Makefile (e.g. "obj-$(CONFIG_XYZZY_SYSCALL) += xyzzy.c").
+ - Double check that the kernel still builds with the new CONFIG option turned
+   off.
+
+To summarize, you need a commit that includes:
+
+ - CONFIG option for the new function, normally in init/Kconfig
+ - SYSCALL_DEFINEn(xyzzy, ...) for the entry point
+ - corresponding prototype in include/linux/syscalls.h
+ - generic table entry in include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h
+ - fallback stub in kernel/sys_ni.c
+
+
+x86 System Call Implementation
+------------------------------
+
+To wire up your new system call for x86 platforms, you need to update the
+master syscall tables.  Assuming your new system call isn't special in some
+way (see below), this involves a "common" entry (for x86_64 and x32) in
+arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl:
+
+    333   common   xyzzy     sys_xyzzy
+
+and an "i386" entry in arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl:
+
+    380   i386     xyzzy     sys_xyzzy
+
+Again, these numbers are liable to be changed if there are conflicts in the
+relevant merge window.
+
+
+Compatibility System Calls (Generic)
+------------------------------------
+
+For most system calls the same 64-bit implementation can be invoked even when
+the userspace program is itself 32-bit; even if the system call's parameters
+include an explicit pointer, this is handled transparently.
+
+However, there are a couple of situations where a compatibility layer is
+needed to cope with size differences between 32-bit and 64-bit.
+
+The first is if the 64-bit kernel also supports 32-bit userspace programs, and
+so needs to parse areas of (__user) memory that could hold either 32-bit or
+64-bit values.  In particular, this is needed whenever a system call argument
+is:
+
+ - a pointer to a pointer
+ - a pointer to a struct containing a pointer (e.g. struct iovec __user *)
+ - a pointer to a varying sized integral type (time_t, off_t, long, ...)
+ - a pointer to a struct containing a varying sized integral type.
+
+The second situation that requires a compatibility layer is if one of the
+system call's arguments has a type that is explicitly 64-bit even on a 32-bit
+architecture, for example loff_t or __u64.  In this case, a value that arrives
+at a 64-bit kernel from a 32-bit application will be split into two 32-bit
+values, which then need to be re-assembled in the compatibility layer.
+
+(Note that a system call argument that's a pointer to an explicit 64-bit type
+does *not* need a compatibility layer; for example, splice(2)'s arguments of
+type loff_t __user * do not trigger the need for a compat_ system call.)
+
+The compatibility version of the system call is called compat_sys_xyzzy(), and
+is added with the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEn() macro, analogously to
+SYSCALL_DEFINEn.  This version of the implementation runs as part of a 64-bit
+kernel, but expects to receive 32-bit parameter values and does whatever is
+needed to deal with them.  (Typically, the compat_sys_ version converts the
+values to 64-bit versions and either calls on to the sys_ version, or both of
+them call a common inner implementation function.)
+
+The compat entry point also needs a corresponding function prototype, in
+include/linux/compat.h, marked as asmlinkage to match the way that system
+calls are invoked:
+
+    asmlinkage long compat_sys_xyzzy(...);
+
+If the system call involves a structure that is laid out differently on 32-bit
+and 64-bit systems, say struct xyzzy_args, then the include/linux/compat.h
+header file should also include a compat version of the structure (struct
+compat_xyzzy_args) where each variable-size field has the appropriate compat_
+type that corresponds to the type in struct xyzzy_args.  The
+compat_sys_xyzzy() routine can then use this compat_ structure to parse the
+arguments from a 32-bit invocation.
+
+For example, if there are fields:
+
+    struct xyzzy_args {
+        const char __user *ptr;
+        __kernel_long_t varying_val;
+        u64 fixed_val;
+        /* ... */
+    };
+
+in struct xyzzy_args, then struct compat_xyzzy_args would have:
+
+    struct compat_xyzzy_args {
+        compat_uptr_t ptr;
+        compat_long_t varying_val;
+        u64 fixed_val;
+        /* ... */
+    };
+
+The generic system call list also needs adjusting to allow for the compat
+version; the entry in include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h should use
+__SC_COMP rather than __SYSCALL:
+
+    #define __NR_xyzzy 292
+    __SC_COMP(__NR_xyzzy, sys_xyzzy, compat_sys_xyzzy)
+
+To summarize, you need:
+
+ - a COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEn(xyzzy, ...) for the compat entry point
+ - corresponding prototype in include/linux/compat.h
+ - (if needed) 32-bit mapping struct in include/linux/compat.h
+ - instance of __SC_COMP not __SYSCALL in include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h
+
+
+Compatibility System Calls (x86)
+--------------------------------
+
+To wire up the x86 architecture of a system call with a compatibility version,
+the entries in the syscall tables need to be adjusted.
+
+First, the entry in arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl gets an extra
+column to indicate that a 32-bit userspace program running on a 64-bit kernel
+should hit the compat entry point:
+
+    380   i386     xyzzy     sys_xyzzy    compat_sys_xyzzy
+
+Second, you need to figure out what should happen for the x32 ABI version of
+the new system call.  There's a choice here: the layout of the arguments
+should either match the 64-bit version or the 32-bit version.
+
+If there's a pointer-to-a-pointer involved, the decision is easy: x32 is
+ILP32, so the layout should match the 32-bit version, and the entry in
+arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl is split so that x32 programs hit the
+compatibility wrapper:
+
+    333   64       xyzzy     sys_xyzzy
+    ...
+    555   x32      xyzzy     compat_sys_xyzzy
+
+If no pointers are involved, then it is preferable to re-use the 64-bit system
+call for the x32 ABI (and consequently the entry in
+arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl is unchanged).
+
+In either case, you should check that the types involved in your argument
+layout do indeed map exactly from x32 (-mx32) to either the 32-bit (-m32) or
+64-bit (-m64) equivalents.
+
+
+System Calls Returning Elsewhere
+--------------------------------
+
+For most system calls, once the system call is complete the user program
+continues exactly where it left off -- at the next instruction, with the
+stack the same and most of the registers the same as before the system call,
+and with the same virtual memory space.
+
+However, a few system calls do things differently.  They might return to a
+different location (rt_sigreturn) or change the memory space (fork/vfork/clone)
+or even architecture (execve/execveat) of the program.
+
+To allow for this, the kernel implementation of the system call may need to
+save and restore additional registers to the kernel stack, allowing complete
+control of where and how execution continues after the system call.
+
+This is arch-specific, but typically involves defining assembly entry points
+that save/restore additional registers and invoke the real system call entry
+point.
+
+For x86_64, this is implemented as a stub_xyzzy entry point in
+arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S, and the entry in the syscall table
+(arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl) is adjusted to match:
+
+    333   common   xyzzy     stub_xyzzy
+
+The equivalent for 32-bit programs running on a 64-bit kernel is normally
+called stub32_xyzzy and implemented in arch/x86/entry/entry_64_compat.S,
+with the corresponding syscall table adjustment in
+arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl:
+
+    380   i386     xyzzy     sys_xyzzy    stub32_xyzzy
+
+If the system call needs a compatibility layer (as in the previous section)
+then the stub32_ version needs to call on to the compat_sys_ version of the
+system call rather than the native 64-bit version.  Also, if the x32 ABI
+implementation is not common with the x86_64 version, then its syscall
+table will also need to invoke a stub that calls on to the compat_sys_
+version.
+
+For completeness, it's also nice to set up a mapping so that user-mode Linux
+still works -- its syscall table will reference stub_xyzzy, but the UML build
+doesn't include arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S implementation (because UML
+simulates registers etc).  Fixing this is as simple as adding a #define to
+arch/x86/um/sys_call_table_64.c:
+
+    #define stub_xyzzy sys_xyzzy
+
+
+Other Details
+-------------
+
+Most of the kernel treats system calls in a generic way, but there is the
+occasional exception that may need updating for your particular system call.
+
+The audit subsystem is one such special case; it includes (arch-specific)
+functions that classify some special types of system call -- specifically
+file open (open/openat), program execution (execve/exeveat) or socket
+multiplexor (socketcall) operations. If your new system call is analogous to
+one of these, then the audit system should be updated.
+
+More generally, if there is an existing system call that is analogous to your
+new system call, it's worth doing a kernel-wide grep for the existing system
+call to check there are no other special cases.
+
+
+Testing
+-------
+
+A new system call should obviously be tested; it is also useful to provide
+reviewers with a demonstration of how user space programs will use the system
+call.  A good way to combine these aims is to include a simple self-test
+program in a new directory under tools/testing/selftests/.
+
+For a new system call, there will obviously be no libc wrapper function and so
+the test will need to invoke it using syscall(); also, if the system call
+involves a new userspace-visible structure, the corresponding header will need
+to be installed to compile the test.
+
+Make sure the selftest runs successfully on all supported architectures.  For
+example, check that it works when compiled as an x86_64 (-m64), x86_32 (-m32)
+and x32 (-mx32) ABI program.
+
+For more extensive and thorough testing of new functionality, you should also
+consider adding tests to the Linux Test Project, or to the xfstests project
+for filesystem-related changes.

+
+
+Man Page
+--------
+
+All new system calls should come with a complete man page, ideally using groff
+markup, but plain text will do.  If groff is used, it's helpful to include a
+pre-rendered ASCII version of the man page in the cover email for the
+patchset, for the convenience of reviewers.
+
+The man page should be cc'ed to linux-man@vger.kernel.org

+
+Introduction
+------------
+Keystone range of SoCs are based on ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore Processors
+and c66x DSP cores. This document describes essential information required
+for users to run Linux on Keystone based EVMs from Texas Instruments.
+
+Following SoCs  & EVMs are currently supported:-
+
+------------ K2HK SoC and EVM --------------------------------------------------
+
+a.k.a Keystone 2 Hawking/Kepler SoC

+EVM:
+https://www.einfochips.com/index.php/partnerships/texas-instruments/k2l-evm.html
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+All of the K2 SoCs/EVMs share a common defconfig, keystone_defconfig and same
+image is used to boot on individual EVMs. The platform configuration is
+specified through DTS. Following are the DTS used:-
+        K2HK EVM : k2hk-evm.dts
+        K2E EVM  : k2e-evm.dts
+        K2L EVM  : k2l-evm.dts
+
+The device tree documentation for the keystone machines are located at
+        Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/keystone/keystone.txt
+
+Known issues & workaround
+-------------------------
+
+Some of the device drivers used on keystone are re-used from that from
+DaVinci and other TI SoCs. These device drivers may use clock APIs directly.
+Some of the keystone specific drivers such as netcp uses run time power
+management API instead to enable clock. As this API has limitations on
+keystone, following workaround is needed to boot Linux.
+
+   Add 'clk_ignore_unused' to the bootargs env variable in u-boot. Otherwise
+   clock frameworks will try to disable clocks that are unused and disable
+   the hardware. This is because netcp related power domain and clock
+   domains are enabled in u-boot as run time power management API currently
+   doesn't enable clocks for netcp due to a limitation. This workaround is
+   expected to be removed in the future when proper API support becomes
+   available. Until then, this work around is needed.

+1 Introduction
+===============
+  This document describes the architecture and implementation of the MEN
+  Chameleon Bus (called MCB throughout this document).
+
+1.1 Scope of this Document
+---------------------------
+  This document is intended to be a short overview of the current
+  implementation and does by no means describe the complete possibilities of MCB
+  based devices.
+
+1.2 Limitations of the current implementation
+----------------------------------------------
+  The current implementation is limited to PCI and PCIe based carrier devices
+  that only use a single memory resource and share the PCI legacy IRQ.  Not
+  implemented are:
+  - Multi-resource MCB devices like the VME Controller or M-Module carrier.
+  - MCB devices that need another MCB device, like SRAM for a DMA Controller's
+    buffer descriptors or a video controller's video memory.
+  - A per-carrier IRQ domain for carrier devices that have one (or more) IRQs
+    per MCB device like PCIe based carriers with MSI or MSI-X support.
+
+2 Architecture
+===============
+  MCB is divided into 3 functional blocks:
+  - The MEN Chameleon Bus itself,
+  - drivers for MCB Carrier Devices and
+  - the parser for the Chameleon table.
+
+2.1 MEN Chameleon Bus
+----------------------
+   The MEN Chameleon Bus is an artificial bus system that attaches to a so
+   called Chameleon FPGA device found on some hardware produced my MEN Mikro
+   Elektronik GmbH. These devices are multi-function devices implemented in a
+   single FPGA and usually attached via some sort of PCI or PCIe link. Each
+   FPGA contains a header section describing the content of the FPGA. The
+   header lists the device id, PCI BAR, offset from the beginning of the PCI
+   BAR, size in the FPGA, interrupt number and some other properties currently
+   not handled by the MCB implementation.
+
+2.2 Carrier Devices
+--------------------
+   A carrier device is just an abstraction for the real world physical bus the
+   Chameleon FPGA is attached to. Some IP Core drivers may need to interact with
+   properties of the carrier device (like querying the IRQ number of a PCI
+   device). To provide abstraction from the real hardware bus, an MCB carrier
+   device provides callback methods to translate the driver's MCB function calls
+   to hardware related function calls. For example a carrier device may
+   implement the get_irq() method which can be translated into a hardware bus
+   query for the IRQ number the device should use.
+
+2.3 Parser
+-----------
+   The parser reads the first 512 bytes of a Chameleon device and parses the
+   Chameleon table. Currently the parser only supports the Chameleon v2 variant
+   of the Chameleon table but can easily be adopted to support an older or
+   possible future variant. While parsing the table's entries new MCB devices
+   are allocated and their resources are assigned according to the resource
+   assignment in the Chameleon table. After resource assignment is finished, the
+   MCB devices are registered at the MCB and thus at the driver core of the
+   Linux kernel.
+
+3 Resource handling
+====================
+  The current implementation assigns exactly one memory and one IRQ resource
+  per MCB device. But this is likely going to change in the future.
+
+3.1 Memory Resources
+---------------------
+   Each MCB device has exactly one memory resource, which can be requested from
+   the MCB bus. This memory resource is the physical address of the MCB device
+   inside the carrier and is intended to be passed to ioremap() and friends. It
+   is already requested from the kernel by calling request_mem_region().
+
+3.2 IRQs
+---------
+   Each MCB device has exactly one IRQ resource, which can be requested from the
+   MCB bus. If a carrier device driver implements the ->get_irq() callback
+   method, the IRQ number assigned by the carrier device will be returned,
+   otherwise the IRQ number inside the Chameleon table will be returned. This
+   number is suitable to be passed to request_irq().
+
+4 Writing an MCB driver
+=======================
+
+4.1 The driver structure
+-------------------------
+    Each MCB driver has a structure to identify the device driver as well as
+    device ids which identify the IP Core inside the FPGA. The driver structure
+    also contains callback methods which get executed on driver probe and
+    removal from the system.
+
+
+  static const struct mcb_device_id foo_ids[] = {
+          { .device = 0x123 },
+          { }
+  };
+  MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(mcb, foo_ids);
+
+  static struct mcb_driver foo_driver = {
+          driver = {
+                  .name = "foo-bar",
+                  .owner = THIS_MODULE,
+          },
+          .probe = foo_probe,
+          .remove = foo_remove,
+          .id_table = foo_ids,
+  };
+
+4.2 Probing and attaching
+--------------------------
+   When a driver is loaded and the MCB devices it services are found, the MCB
+   core will call the driver's probe callback method. When the driver is removed
+   from the system, the MCB core will call the driver's remove callback method.
+
+
+  static init foo_probe(struct mcb_device *mdev, const struct mcb_device_id *id);
+  static void foo_remove(struct mcb_device *mdev);
+
+4.3 Initializing the driver
+----------------------------
+   When the kernel is booted or your foo driver module is inserted, you have to
+   perform driver initialization. Usually it is enough to register your driver
+   module at the MCB core.
+
+
+  static int __init foo_init(void)
+  {
+          return mcb_register_driver(&foo_driver);
+  }
+  module_init(foo_init);
+
+  static void __exit foo_exit(void)
+  {
+          mcb_unregister_driver(&foo_driver);
+  }
+  module_exit(foo_exit);
+
+   The module_mcb_driver() macro can be used to reduce the above code.
+
+
+  module_mcb_driver(foo_driver);
