 If you have this code compiled into your kernel it will be enabled by default.
 If you want to boot without the bookkeeping anyway you can provide
 'dma_debug=off' as a boot parameter. This will disable DMA-API debugging.
 Notice that you can not enable it again at runtime. You have to reboot to do
 so.
 
+If you want to see debug messages only for a special device driver you can
+specify the dma_debug_driver=<drivername> parameter. This will enable the
+driver filter at boot time. The debug code will only print errors for that
+driver afterwards. This filter can be disabled or changed later using debugfs.
+
 When the code disables itself at runtime this is most likely because it ran
 out of dma_debug_entries. These entries are preallocated at boot. The number
 of preallocated entries is defined per architecture. If it is too low for you

+     Tracepoints are static probe points that are located in strategic points
+     throughout the kernel. 'Probes' register/unregister with tracepoints

+     are passed a unique set of parameters defined by each tracepoint.
+   </para>
+
+   <para>
+     From this simple callback mechanism, 'probes' can be used to profile, debug,
+     and understand kernel behavior. There are a number of tools that provide a

+     Tracepoints are defined in a number of header files via various macros. Thus,
+     the purpose of this document is to provide a clear accounting of the available
+     tracepoints. The intention is to understand not only what tracepoints are
+     available but also to understand where future tracepoints might be added.

+Futex Requeue PI
+----------------
+
+Requeueing of tasks from a non-PI futex to a PI futex requires
+special handling in order to ensure the underlying rt_mutex is never
+left without an owner if it has waiters; doing so would break the PI
+boosting logic [see rt-mutex-desgin.txt] For the purposes of
+brevity, this action will be referred to as "requeue_pi" throughout
+this document.  Priority inheritance is abbreviated throughout as
+"PI".
+
+Motivation
+----------
+
+Without requeue_pi, the glibc implementation of
+pthread_cond_broadcast() must resort to waking all the tasks waiting
+on a pthread_condvar and letting them try to sort out which task
+gets to run first in classic thundering-herd formation.  An ideal
+implementation would wake the highest-priority waiter, and leave the
+rest to the natural wakeup inherent in unlocking the mutex
+associated with the condvar.
+
+Consider the simplified glibc calls:
+
+/* caller must lock mutex */
+pthread_cond_wait(cond, mutex)
+{
+        lock(cond->__data.__lock);
+        unlock(mutex);
+        do {
+           unlock(cond->__data.__lock);
+           futex_wait(cond->__data.__futex);
+           lock(cond->__data.__lock);
+        } while(...)
+        unlock(cond->__data.__lock);
+        lock(mutex);
+}
+
+pthread_cond_broadcast(cond)
+{
+        lock(cond->__data.__lock);
+        unlock(cond->__data.__lock);
+        futex_requeue(cond->data.__futex, cond->mutex);
+}
+
+Once pthread_cond_broadcast() requeues the tasks, the cond->mutex
+has waiters. Note that pthread_cond_wait() attempts to lock the
+mutex only after it has returned to user space.  This will leave the
+underlying rt_mutex with waiters, and no owner, breaking the
+previously mentioned PI-boosting algorithms.
+
+In order to support PI-aware pthread_condvar's, the kernel needs to
+be able to requeue tasks to PI futexes.  This support implies that
+upon a successful futex_wait system call, the caller would return to
+user space already holding the PI futex.  The glibc implementation
+would be modified as follows:
+
+
+/* caller must lock mutex */
+pthread_cond_wait_pi(cond, mutex)
+{
+        lock(cond->__data.__lock);
+        unlock(mutex);
+        do {
+           unlock(cond->__data.__lock);
+           futex_wait_requeue_pi(cond->__data.__futex);
+           lock(cond->__data.__lock);
+        } while(...)
+        unlock(cond->__data.__lock);
+        /* the kernel acquired the the mutex for us */
+}
+
+pthread_cond_broadcast_pi(cond)
+{
+        lock(cond->__data.__lock);
+        unlock(cond->__data.__lock);
+        futex_requeue_pi(cond->data.__futex, cond->mutex);
+}
+
+The actual glibc implementation will likely test for PI and make the
+necessary changes inside the existing calls rather than creating new
+calls for the PI cases.  Similar changes are needed for
+pthread_cond_timedwait() and pthread_cond_signal().
+
+Implementation
+--------------
+
+In order to ensure the rt_mutex has an owner if it has waiters, it
+is necessary for both the requeue code, as well as the waiting code,
+to be able to acquire the rt_mutex before returning to user space.
+The requeue code cannot simply wake the waiter and leave it to
+acquire the rt_mutex as it would open a race window between the
+requeue call returning to user space and the waiter waking and
+starting to run.  This is especially true in the uncontended case.
+
+The solution involves two new rt_mutex helper routines,
+rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() and rt_mutex_finish_proxy_lock(), which
+allow the requeue code to acquire an uncontended rt_mutex on behalf
+of the waiter and to enqueue the waiter on a contended rt_mutex.
+Two new system calls provide the kernel<->user interface to
+requeue_pi: FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI and FUTEX_REQUEUE_CMP_PI.
+
+FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI is called by the waiter (pthread_cond_wait()
+and pthread_cond_timedwait()) to block on the initial futex and wait
+to be requeued to a PI-aware futex.  The implementation is the
+result of a high-speed collision between futex_wait() and
+futex_lock_pi(), with some extra logic to check for the additional
+wake-up scenarios.
+
+FUTEX_REQUEUE_CMP_PI is called by the waker
+(pthread_cond_broadcast() and pthread_cond_signal()) to requeue and
+possibly wake the waiting tasks. Internally, this system call is
+still handled by futex_requeue (by passing requeue_pi=1).  Before
+requeueing, futex_requeue() attempts to acquire the requeue target
+PI futex on behalf of the top waiter.  If it can, this waiter is
+woken.  futex_requeue() then proceeds to requeue the remaining
+nr_wake+nr_requeue tasks to the PI futex, calling
+rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() prior to each requeue to prepare the
+task as a waiter on the underlying rt_mutex.  It is possible that
+the lock can be acquired at this stage as well, if so, the next
+waiter is woken to finish the acquisition of the lock.
+
+FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI accepts nr_wake and nr_requeue as arguments, but
+their sum is all that really matters.  futex_requeue() will wake or
+requeue up to nr_wake + nr_requeue tasks.  It will wake only as many
+tasks as it can acquire the lock for, which in the majority of cases
+should be 0 as good programming practice dictates that the caller of
+either pthread_cond_broadcast() or pthread_cond_signal() acquire the
+mutex prior to making the call. FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI requires that
+nr_wake=1.  nr_requeue should be INT_MAX for broadcast and 0 for
+signal.

+Kernel Memory Leak Detector
+===========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Kmemleak provides a way of detecting possible kernel memory leaks in a
+way similar to a tracing garbage collector
+(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection_%28computer_science%29#Tracing_garbage_collectors),
+with the difference that the orphan objects are not freed but only
+reported via /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak. A similar method is used by the
+Valgrind tool (memcheck --leak-check) to detect the memory leaks in
+user-space applications.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK in "Kernel hacking" has to be enabled. A kernel
+thread scans the memory every 10 minutes (by default) and prints any new
+unreferenced objects found. To trigger an intermediate scan and display
+all the possible memory leaks:
+
+  # mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug/
+  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
+
+Note that the orphan objects are listed in the order they were allocated
+and one object at the beginning of the list may cause other subsequent
+objects to be reported as orphan.
+
+Memory scanning parameters can be modified at run-time by writing to the
+/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak file. The following parameters are supported:
+
+  off           - disable kmemleak (irreversible)
+  stack=on      - enable the task stacks scanning
+  stack=off     - disable the tasks stacks scanning
+  scan=on       - start the automatic memory scanning thread
+  scan=off      - stop the automatic memory scanning thread
+  scan=<secs>   - set the automatic memory scanning period in seconds (0
+                  to disable it)
+
+Kmemleak can also be disabled at boot-time by passing "kmemleak=off" on
+the kernel command line.
+
+Basic Algorithm
+---------------
+
+The memory allocations via kmalloc, vmalloc, kmem_cache_alloc and
+friends are traced and the pointers, together with additional
+information like size and stack trace, are stored in a prio search tree.
+The corresponding freeing function calls are tracked and the pointers
+removed from the kmemleak data structures.
+
+An allocated block of memory is considered orphan if no pointer to its
+start address or to any location inside the block can be found by
+scanning the memory (including saved registers). This means that there
+might be no way for the kernel to pass the address of the allocated
+block to a freeing function and therefore the block is considered a
+memory leak.
+
+The scanning algorithm steps:
+
+  1. mark all objects as white (remaining white objects will later be
+     considered orphan)
+  2. scan the memory starting with the data section and stacks, checking
+     the values against the addresses stored in the prio search tree. If
+     a pointer to a white object is found, the object is added to the
+     gray list
+  3. scan the gray objects for matching addresses (some white objects
+     can become gray and added at the end of the gray list) until the
+     gray set is finished
+  4. the remaining white objects are considered orphan and reported via
+     /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
+
+Some allocated memory blocks have pointers stored in the kernel's
+internal data structures and they cannot be detected as orphans. To
+avoid this, kmemleak can also store the number of values pointing to an
+address inside the block address range that need to be found so that the
+block is not considered a leak. One example is __vmalloc().
+
+Kmemleak API
+------------
+
+See the include/linux/kmemleak.h header for the functions prototype.
+
+kmemleak_init            - initialize kmemleak
+kmemleak_alloc           - notify of a memory block allocation
+kmemleak_free            - notify of a memory block freeing
+kmemleak_not_leak        - mark an object as not a leak
+kmemleak_ignore          - do not scan or report an object as leak
+kmemleak_scan_area       - add scan areas inside a memory block
+kmemleak_no_scan         - do not scan a memory block
+kmemleak_erase           - erase an old value in a pointer variable
+kmemleak_alloc_recursive - as kmemleak_alloc but checks the recursiveness
+kmemleak_free_recursive  - as kmemleak_free but checks the recursiveness
+
+Dealing with false positives/negatives
+--------------------------------------
+
+The false negatives are real memory leaks (orphan objects) but not
+reported by kmemleak because values found during the memory scanning
+point to such objects. To reduce the number of false negatives, kmemleak
+provides the kmemleak_ignore, kmemleak_scan_area, kmemleak_no_scan and
+kmemleak_erase functions (see above). The task stacks also increase the
+amount of false negatives and their scanning is not enabled by default.
+
+The false positives are objects wrongly reported as being memory leaks
+(orphan). For objects known not to be leaks, kmemleak provides the
+kmemleak_not_leak function. The kmemleak_ignore could also be used if
+the memory block is known not to contain other pointers and it will no
+longer be scanned.
+
+Some of the reported leaks are only transient, especially on SMP
+systems, because of pointers temporarily stored in CPU registers or
+stacks. Kmemleak defines MSECS_MIN_AGE (defaulting to 1000) representing
+the minimum age of an object to be reported as a memory leak.
+
+Limitations and Drawbacks
+-------------------------
+
+The main drawback is the reduced performance of memory allocation and
+freeing. To avoid other penalties, the memory scanning is only performed
+when the /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak file is read. Anyway, this tool is
+intended for debugging purposes where the performance might not be the
+most important requirement.
+
+To keep the algorithm simple, kmemleak scans for values pointing to any
+address inside a block's address range. This may lead to an increased
+number of false negatives. However, it is likely that a real memory leak
+will eventually become visible.
+
+Another source of false negatives is the data stored in non-pointer
+values. In a future version, kmemleak could only scan the pointer
+members in the allocated structures. This feature would solve many of
+the false negative cases described above.
+
+The tool can report false positives. These are cases where an allocated
+block doesn't need to be freed (some cases in the init_call functions),
+the pointer is calculated by other methods than the usual container_of
+macro or the pointer is stored in a location not scanned by kmemleak.
+
+Page allocations and ioremap are not tracked. Only the ARM and x86
+architectures are currently supported.

+SLEEP AND WAKE-UP FUNCTIONS
+---------------------------
+
+Sleeping and waking on an event flagged in global data can be viewed as an
+interaction between two pieces of data: the task state of the task waiting for
+the event and the global data used to indicate the event.  To make sure that
+these appear to happen in the right order, the primitives to begin the process
+of going to sleep, and the primitives to initiate a wake up imply certain
+barriers.
+
+Firstly, the sleeper normally follows something like this sequence of events:
+
+        for (;;) {
+                set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
+                if (event_indicated)
+                        break;
+                schedule();
+        }
+
+A general memory barrier is interpolated automatically by set_current_state()
+after it has altered the task state:
+
+        CPU 1
+        ===============================
+        set_current_state();
+          set_mb();
+            STORE current->state
+            <general barrier>
+        LOAD event_indicated
+
+set_current_state() may be wrapped by:
+
+        prepare_to_wait();
+        prepare_to_wait_exclusive();
+
+which therefore also imply a general memory barrier after setting the state.
+The whole sequence above is available in various canned forms, all of which
+interpolate the memory barrier in the right place:
+
+        wait_event();
+        wait_event_interruptible();
+        wait_event_interruptible_exclusive();
+        wait_event_interruptible_timeout();
+        wait_event_killable();
+        wait_event_timeout();
+        wait_on_bit();
+        wait_on_bit_lock();
+
+
+Secondly, code that performs a wake up normally follows something like this:
+
+        event_indicated = 1;
+        wake_up(&event_wait_queue);
+
+or:
+
+        event_indicated = 1;
+        wake_up_process(event_daemon);
+
+A write memory barrier is implied by wake_up() and co. if and only if they wake
+something up.  The barrier occurs before the task state is cleared, and so sits
+between the STORE to indicate the event and the STORE to set TASK_RUNNING:
+
+        CPU 1                           CPU 2
+        =============================== ===============================
+        set_current_state();            STORE event_indicated
+          set_mb();                     wake_up();
+            STORE current->state          <write barrier>
+            <general barrier>             STORE current->state
+        LOAD event_indicated
+
+The available waker functions include:
+
+        complete();
+        wake_up();
+        wake_up_all();
+        wake_up_bit();
+        wake_up_interruptible();
+        wake_up_interruptible_all();
+        wake_up_interruptible_nr();
+        wake_up_interruptible_poll();
+        wake_up_interruptible_sync();
+        wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll();
+        wake_up_locked();
+        wake_up_locked_poll();
+        wake_up_nr();
+        wake_up_poll();
+        wake_up_process();
+
+
+[!] Note that the memory barriers implied by the sleeper and the waker do _not_
+order multiple stores before the wake-up with respect to loads of those stored
+values after the sleeper has called set_current_state().  For instance, if the
+sleeper does:
+
+        set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
+        if (event_indicated)
+                break;
+        __set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
+        do_something(my_data);
+
+and the waker does:
+
+        my_data = value;
+        event_indicated = 1;
+        wake_up(&event_wait_queue);
+
+there's no guarantee that the change to event_indicated will be perceived by
+the sleeper as coming after the change to my_data.  In such a circumstance, the
+code on both sides must interpolate its own memory barriers between the
+separate data accesses.  Thus the above sleeper ought to do:
+
+        set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
+        if (event_indicated) {
+                smp_rmb();
+                do_something(my_data);
+        }
+
+and the waker should do:
+
+        my_data = value;
+        smp_wmb();
+        event_indicated = 1;
+        wake_up(&event_wait_queue);

+                        Updated by Li Zefan
+
+1. Introduction
+===============
+
+Tracepoints (see Documentation/trace/tracepoints.txt) can be used
+without creating custom kernel modules to register probe functions
+using the event tracing infrastructure.
+
+Not all tracepoints can be traced using the event tracing system;
+the kernel developer must provide code snippets which define how the
+tracing information is saved into the tracing buffer, and how the
+tracing information should be printed.
+
+2. Using Event Tracing
+======================
+
+2.1 Via the 'set_event' interface
+---------------------------------
+
+The events which are available for tracing can be found in the file
+/debug/tracing/available_events.
+
+To enable a particular event, such as 'sched_wakeup', simply echo it
+to /debug/tracing/set_event. For example:
+
+        # echo sched_wakeup >> /debug/tracing/set_event
+
+[ Note: '>>' is necessary, otherwise it will firstly disable
+  all the events. ]
+
+To disable an event, echo the event name to the set_event file prefixed
+with an exclamation point:
+
+        # echo '!sched_wakeup' >> /debug/tracing/set_event
+
+To disable all events, echo an empty line to the set_event file:
+
+        # echo > /debug/tracing/set_event
+
+To enable all events, echo '*:*' or '*:' to the set_event file:
+
+        # echo *:* > /debug/tracing/set_event
+
+The events are organized into subsystems, such as ext4, irq, sched,
+etc., and a full event name looks like this: <subsystem>:<event>.  The
+subsystem name is optional, but it is displayed in the available_events
+file.  All of the events in a subsystem can be specified via the syntax
+"<subsystem>:*"; for example, to enable all irq events, you can use the
+command:
+
+        # echo 'irq:*' > /debug/tracing/set_event
+
+2.2 Via the 'enable' toggle
+---------------------------
+
+The events available are also listed in /debug/tracing/events/ hierarchy
+of directories.
+
+To enable event 'sched_wakeup':
+
+        # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/enable
+
+To disable it:
+
+        # echo 0 > /debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/enable
+
+To enable all events in sched subsystem:
+
+        # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/sched/enable
+
+To eanble all events:
+
+        # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/enable
+
+When reading one of these enable files, there are four results:
+
+ 0 - all events this file affects are disabled
+ 1 - all events this file affects are enabled
+ X - there is a mixture of events enabled and disabled
+ ? - this file does not affect any event
+
+3. Defining an event-enabled tracepoint
