+timer_stats - timer usage statistics
+------------------------------------
+
+timer_stats is a debugging facility to make the timer (ab)usage in a Linux
+system visible to kernel and userspace developers. It is not intended for
+production usage as it adds significant overhead to the (hr)timer code and the
+(hr)timer data structures.
+
+timer_stats should be used by kernel and userspace developers to verify that
+their code does not make unduly use of timers. This helps to avoid unnecessary
+wakeups, which should be avoided to optimize power consumption.
+
+It can be enabled by CONFIG_TIMER_STATS in the "Kernel hacking" configuration
+section.
+
+timer_stats collects information about the timer events which are fired in a
+Linux system over a sample period:
+
+- the pid of the task(process) which initialized the timer
+- the name of the process which initialized the timer
+- the function where the timer was intialized
+- the callback function which is associated to the timer
+- the number of events (callbacks)
+
+timer_stats adds an entry to /proc: /proc/timer_stats
+
+This entry is used to control the statistics functionality and to read out the
+sampled information.
+
+The timer_stats functionality is inactive on bootup.
+
+To activate a sample period issue:
+# echo 1 >/proc/timer_stats
+
+To stop a sample period issue:
+# echo 0 >/proc/timer_stats
+
+The statistics can be retrieved by:
+# cat /proc/timer_stats
+
+The readout of /proc/timer_stats automatically disables sampling. The sampled
+information is kept until a new sample period is started. This allows multiple
+readouts.

+High resolution timers and dynamic ticks design notes
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+Further information can be found in the paper of the OLS 2006 talk "hrtimers
+and beyond". The paper is part of the OLS 2006 Proceedings Volume 1, which can
+be found on the OLS website:
+http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2006/linuxsymposium_procv1.pdf
+
+The slides to this talk are available from:
+http://tglx.de/projects/hrtimers/ols2006-hrtimers.pdf
+
+The slides contain five figures (pages 2, 15, 18, 20, 22), which illustrate the
+changes in the time(r) related Linux subsystems. Figure #1 (p. 2) shows the
+design of the Linux time(r) system before hrtimers and other building blocks
+got merged into mainline.
+
+Note: the paper and the slides are talking about "clock event source", while we
+switched to the name "clock event devices" in meantime.
+
+The design contains the following basic building blocks:
+
+- hrtimer base infrastructure
+- timeofday and clock source management
+- clock event management
+- high resolution timer functionality
+- dynamic ticks
+
+
+hrtimer base infrastructure
+---------------------------
+
+The hrtimer base infrastructure was merged into the 2.6.16 kernel. Details of
+the base implementation are covered in Documentation/hrtimers/hrtimer.txt. See
+also figure #2 (OLS slides p. 15)
+
+The main differences to the timer wheel, which holds the armed timer_list type
+timers are:
+       - time ordered enqueueing into a rb-tree
+       - independent of ticks (the processing is based on nanoseconds)
+
+
+timeofday and clock source management
+-------------------------------------
+
+John Stultz's Generic Time Of Day (GTOD) framework moves a large portion of
+code out of the architecture-specific areas into a generic management
+framework, as illustrated in figure #3 (OLS slides p. 18). The architecture
+specific portion is reduced to the low level hardware details of the clock
+sources, which are registered in the framework and selected on a quality based
+decision. The low level code provides hardware setup and readout routines and
+initializes data structures, which are used by the generic time keeping code to
+convert the clock ticks to nanosecond based time values. All other time keeping
+related functionality is moved into the generic code. The GTOD base patch got
+merged into the 2.6.18 kernel.
+
+Further information about the Generic Time Of Day framework is available in the
+OLS 2005 Proceedings Volume 1:
+http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2005/linuxsymposium_procv1.pdf
+
+The paper "We Are Not Getting Any Younger: A New Approach to Time and
+Timers" was written by J. Stultz, D.V. Hart, & N. Aravamudan.
+
+Figure #3 (OLS slides p.18) illustrates the transformation.
+
+
+clock event management
+----------------------
+
+While clock sources provide read access to the monotonically increasing time
+value, clock event devices are used to schedule the next event
+interrupt(s). The next event is currently defined to be periodic, with its
+period defined at compile time. The setup and selection of the event device
+for various event driven functionalities is hardwired into the architecture
+dependent code. This results in duplicated code across all architectures and
+makes it extremely difficult to change the configuration of the system to use
+event interrupt devices other than those already built into the
+architecture. Another implication of the current design is that it is necessary
+to touch all the architecture-specific implementations in order to provide new
+functionality like high resolution timers or dynamic ticks.
+
+The clock events subsystem tries to address this problem by providing a generic
+solution to manage clock event devices and their usage for the various clock
+event driven kernel functionalities. The goal of the clock event subsystem is
+to minimize the clock event related architecture dependent code to the pure
+hardware related handling and to allow easy addition and utilization of new
+clock event devices. It also minimizes the duplicated code across the
+architectures as it provides generic functionality down to the interrupt
+service handler, which is almost inherently hardware dependent.
+
+Clock event devices are registered either by the architecture dependent boot
+code or at module insertion time. Each clock event device fills a data
+structure with clock-specific property parameters and callback functions. The
+clock event management decides, by using the specified property parameters, the
+set of system functions a clock event device will be used to support. This
+includes the distinction of per-CPU and per-system global event devices.
+
+System-level global event devices are used for the Linux periodic tick. Per-CPU
+event devices are used to provide local CPU functionality such as process
+accounting, profiling, and high resolution timers.
+
+The management layer assignes one or more of the folliwing functions to a clock
+event device:
+      - system global periodic tick (jiffies update)
+      - cpu local update_process_times
+      - cpu local profiling
+      - cpu local next event interrupt (non periodic mode)
+
+The clock event device delegates the selection of those timer interrupt related
+functions completely to the management layer. The clock management layer stores
+a function pointer in the device description structure, which has to be called
+from the hardware level handler. This removes a lot of duplicated code from the
+architecture specific timer interrupt handlers and hands the control over the
+clock event devices and the assignment of timer interrupt related functionality
+to the core code.
+
+The clock event layer API is rather small. Aside from the clock event device
+registration interface it provides functions to schedule the next event
+interrupt, clock event device notification service and support for suspend and
+resume.
+
+The framework adds about 700 lines of code which results in a 2KB increase of
+the kernel binary size. The conversion of i386 removes about 100 lines of
+code. The binary size decrease is in the range of 400 byte. We believe that the
+increase of flexibility and the avoidance of duplicated code across
+architectures justifies the slight increase of the binary size.
+
+The conversion of an architecture has no functional impact, but allows to
+utilize the high resolution and dynamic tick functionalites without any change
+to the clock event device and timer interrupt code. After the conversion the
+enabling of high resolution timers and dynamic ticks is simply provided by
+adding the kernel/time/Kconfig file to the architecture specific Kconfig and
+adding the dynamic tick specific calls to the idle routine (a total of 3 lines
+added to the idle function and the Kconfig file)
+
+Figure #4 (OLS slides p.20) illustrates the transformation.
+
+
+high resolution timer functionality
+-----------------------------------
+
+During system boot it is not possible to use the high resolution timer
+functionality, while making it possible would be difficult and would serve no
+useful function. The initialization of the clock event device framework, the
+clock source framework (GTOD) and hrtimers itself has to be done and
+appropriate clock sources and clock event devices have to be registered before
+the high resolution functionality can work. Up to the point where hrtimers are
+initialized, the system works in the usual low resolution periodic mode. The
+clock source and the clock event device layers provide notification functions
+which inform hrtimers about availability of new hardware. hrtimers validates
+the usability of the registered clock sources and clock event devices before
+switching to high resolution mode. This ensures also that a kernel which is
+configured for high resolution timers can run on a system which lacks the
+necessary hardware support.
+
+The high resolution timer code does not support SMP machines which have only
+global clock event devices. The support of such hardware would involve IPI
+calls when an interrupt happens. The overhead would be much larger than the
+benefit. This is the reason why we currently disable high resolution and
+dynamic ticks on i386 SMP systems which stop the local APIC in C3 power
+state. A workaround is available as an idea, but the problem has not been
+tackled yet.
+
+The time ordered insertion of timers provides all the infrastructure to decide
+whether the event device has to be reprogrammed when a timer is added. The
+decision is made per timer base and synchronized across per-cpu timer bases in
+a support function. The design allows the system to utilize separate per-CPU
+clock event devices for the per-CPU timer bases, but currently only one
+reprogrammable clock event device per-CPU is utilized.
+
+When the timer interrupt happens, the next event interrupt handler is called
+from the clock event distribution code and moves expired timers from the
+red-black tree to a separate double linked list and invokes the softirq
+handler. An additional mode field in the hrtimer structure allows the system to
+execute callback functions directly from the next event interrupt handler. This
+is restricted to code which can safely be executed in the hard interrupt
+context. This applies, for example, to the common case of a wakeup function as
+used by nanosleep. The advantage of executing the handler in the interrupt
+context is the avoidance of up to two context switches - from the interrupted
+context to the softirq and to the task which is woken up by the expired
+timer.
+
+Once a system has switched to high resolution mode, the periodic tick is
+switched off. This disables the per system global periodic clock event device -
+e.g. the PIT on i386 SMP systems.
+
+The periodic tick functionality is provided by an per-cpu hrtimer. The callback
+function is executed in the next event interrupt context and updates jiffies
+and calls update_process_times and profiling. The implementation of the hrtimer
+based periodic tick is designed to be extended with dynamic tick functionality.
+This allows to use a single clock event device to schedule high resolution
+timer and periodic events (jiffies tick, profiling, process accounting) on UP
+systems. This has been proved to work with the PIT on i386 and the Incrementer
+on PPC.
+
+The softirq for running the hrtimer queues and executing the callbacks has been
+separated from the tick bound timer softirq to allow accurate delivery of high
+resolution timer signals which are used by itimer and POSIX interval
+timers. The execution of this softirq can still be delayed by other softirqs,
+but the overall latencies have been significantly improved by this separation.
+
+Figure #5 (OLS slides p.22) illustrates the transformation.
+
+
+dynamic ticks
+-------------
+
+Dynamic ticks are the logical consequence of the hrtimer based periodic tick
+replacement (sched_tick). The functionality of the sched_tick hrtimer is
+extended by three functions:
+
+- hrtimer_stop_sched_tick
+- hrtimer_restart_sched_tick
+- hrtimer_update_jiffies
+
+hrtimer_stop_sched_tick() is called when a CPU goes into idle state. The code
+evaluates the next scheduled timer event (from both hrtimers and the timer
+wheel) and in case that the next event is further away than the next tick it
+reprograms the sched_tick to this future event, to allow longer idle sleeps
+without worthless interruption by the periodic tick. The function is also
+called when an interrupt happens during the idle period, which does not cause a
+reschedule. The call is necessary as the interrupt handler might have armed a
+new timer whose expiry time is before the time which was identified as the
+nearest event in the previous call to hrtimer_stop_sched_tick.
+
+hrtimer_restart_sched_tick() is called when the CPU leaves the idle state before
+it calls schedule(). hrtimer_restart_sched_tick() resumes the periodic tick,
+which is kept active until the next call to hrtimer_stop_sched_tick().
+
+hrtimer_update_jiffies() is called from irq_enter() when an interrupt happens
+in the idle period to make sure that jiffies are up to date and the interrupt
+handler has not to deal with an eventually stale jiffy value.
+
+The dynamic tick feature provides statistical values which are exported to
+userspace via /proc/stats and can be made available for enhanced power
+management control.
+
+The implementation leaves room for further development like full tickless
+systems, where the time slice is controlled by the scheduler, variable
+frequency profiling, and a complete removal of jiffies in the future.
+
+
+Aside the current initial submission of i386 support, the patchset has been
+extended to x86_64 and ARM already. Initial (work in progress) support is also
+available for MIPS and PowerPC.

+
+If your system has an Intel ICH south bridge, but you do NOT see the
+SMBus device at 00:1f.3 in lspci, and you can't figure out any way in the
+BIOS to enable it, it means it has been hidden by the BIOS code. Asus is
+well known for first doing this on their P4B motherboard, and many other
+boards after that. Some vendor machines are affected as well.
+
+The first thing to try is the "i2c_ec" ACPI driver. It could be that the
+SMBus was hidden on purpose because it'll be driven by ACPI. If the
+i2c_ec driver works for you, just forget about the i2c-i801 driver and
+don't try to unhide the ICH SMBus. Even if i2c_ec doesn't work, you
+better make sure that the SMBus isn't used by the ACPI code. Try loading
+the "fan" and "thermal" drivers, and check in /proc/acpi/fan and
+/proc/acpi/thermal_zone. If you find anything there, it's likely that
+the ACPI is accessing the SMBus and it's safer not to unhide it. Only
+once you are certain that ACPI isn't using the SMBus, you can attempt
+to unhide it.
+
+In order to unhide the SMBus, we need to change the value of a PCI
+register before the kernel enumerates the PCI devices. This is done in
+drivers/pci/quirks.c, where all affected boards must be listed (see
+function asus_hides_smbus_hostbridge.) If the SMBus device is missing,
+and you think there's something interesting on the SMBus (e.g. a
+hardware monitoring chip), you need to add your board to the list.

+that the unhidden SMBus doesn't conflict with e.g. ACPI.

 Since device_type isn't enough to match devices to drivers, there also
 needs to be a naming convention for the compatible property.  Compatible
 is an list of device descriptions sorted from specific to generic.  For
-the mpc52xx, the required format for each compatible value is
-<chip>-<device>[-<mode>].  At the minimum, the list shall contain two
-items; the first specifying the exact chip, and the second specifying

-The idea here is that most drivers will match to the most generic field

-field for enabling bug fixes or extra features.
+the mpc5200, the required format for each compatible value is
+<chip>-<device>[-<mode>].  The OS should be able to match a device driver
+to the device based solely on the compatible value.  If two drivers
+match on the compatible list; the 'most compatible' driver should be
+selected.
+
+The split between the MPC5200 and the MPC5200B leaves a bit of a
+connundrum.  How should the compatible property be set up to provide
+maximum compatability information; but still acurately describe the
+chip?  For the MPC5200; the answer is easy.  Most of the SoC devices
+originally appeared on the MPC5200.  Since they didn't exist anywhere
+else; the 5200 compatible properties will contain only one item;
+"mpc5200-<device>".
+
+The 5200B is almost the same as the 5200, but not quite.  It fixes
+silicon bugs and it adds a small number of enhancements.  Most of the
+devices either provide exactly the same interface as on the 5200.  A few
+devices have extra functions but still have a backwards compatible mode.
+To express this infomation as completely as possible, 5200B device trees
+should have two items in the compatible list;
+"mpc5200b-<device>\0mpc5200-<device>".  It is *strongly* recommended
+that 5200B device trees follow this convention (instead of only listing
+the base mpc5200 item).
+
+If another chip appear on the market with one of the mpc5200 SoC
+devices, then the compatible list should include mpc5200-<device>.
+
+ie. ethernet on mpc5200: compatible = "mpc5200-ethernet"
+    ethernet on mpc5200b: compatible = "mpc5200b-ethernet\0mpc5200-ethernet"
 
 Modal devices, like PSCs, also append the configured function to the
 end of the compatible field.  ie. A PSC in i2s mode would specify
-"mpc52xx-psc-i2s", not "mpc52xx-i2s".  This convention is chosen to
+"mpc5200-psc-i2s", not "mpc5200-i2s".  This convention is chosen to
 avoid naming conflicts with non-psc devices providing the same
-function.  For example, "mpc52xx-spi" and "mpc52xx-psc-spi" describe
+function.  For example, "mpc5200-spi" and "mpc5200-psc-spi" describe
 the mpc5200 simple spi device and a PSC spi mode respectively.
 
 If the soc device is more generic and present on other SOCs, the
 compatible property can specify the more generic device type also.

 cascaded off of peripheral interrupt 0, which the driver interprets as a
 fourth group, SDMA.

+Configurable sysfs parameters for the x86-64 machine check code.
+
+Machine checks report internal hardware error conditions detected
+by the CPU. Uncorrected errors typically cause a machine check
+(often with panic), corrected ones cause a machine check log entry.
+
+Machine checks are organized in banks (normally associated with
+a hardware subsystem) and subevents in a bank. The exact meaning
+of the banks and subevent is CPU specific.
+
+mcelog knows how to decode them.
+
+When you see the "Machine check errors logged" message in the system
+log then mcelog should run to collect and decode machine check entries
+from /dev/mcelog. Normally mcelog should be run regularly from a cronjob.
+
+Each CPU has a directory in /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheckN
+(N = CPU number)

+        By default all events are enabled.
+        Note that BIOS maintain another mask to disable specific events
