+Delay accounting
+----------------
+
+Tasks encounter delays in execution when they wait
+for some kernel resource to become available e.g. a
+runnable task may wait for a free CPU to run on.
+
+The per-task delay accounting functionality measures
+the delays experienced by a task while
+
+a) waiting for a CPU (while being runnable)
+b) completion of synchronous block I/O initiated by the task
+c) swapping in pages
+
+and makes these statistics available to userspace through
+the taskstats interface.
+
+Such delays provide feedback for setting a task's cpu priority,
+io priority and rss limit values appropriately. Long delays for
+important tasks could be a trigger for raising its corresponding priority.
+
+The functionality, through its use of the taskstats interface, also provides
+delay statistics aggregated for all tasks (or threads) belonging to a
+thread group (corresponding to a traditional Unix process). This is a commonly
+needed aggregation that is more efficiently done by the kernel.
+
+Userspace utilities, particularly resource management applications, can also
+aggregate delay statistics into arbitrary groups. To enable this, delay
+statistics of a task are available both during its lifetime as well as on its
+exit, ensuring continuous and complete monitoring can be done.
+
+
+Interface
+---------
+
+Delay accounting uses the taskstats interface which is described
+in detail in a separate document in this directory. Taskstats returns a
+generic data structure to userspace corresponding to per-pid and per-tgid
+statistics. The delay accounting functionality populates specific fields of
+this structure. See
+     include/linux/taskstats.h
+for a description of the fields pertaining to delay accounting.
+It will generally be in the form of counters returning the cumulative
+delay seen for cpu, sync block I/O, swapin etc.
+
+Taking the difference of two successive readings of a given
+counter (say cpu_delay_total) for a task will give the delay
+experienced by the task waiting for the corresponding resource
+in that interval.
+
+When a task exits, records containing the per-task statistics
+are sent to userspace without requiring a command. If it is the last exiting
+task of a thread group, the per-tgid statistics are also sent. More details
+are given in the taskstats interface description.
+
+The getdelays.c userspace utility in this directory allows simple commands to
+be run and the corresponding delay statistics to be displayed. It also serves
+as an example of using the taskstats interface.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Compile the kernel with
+        CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT=y
+        CONFIG_TASKSTATS=y
+
+Delay accounting is enabled by default at boot up.
+To disable, add
+   nodelayacct
+to the kernel boot options. The rest of the instructions
+below assume this has not been done.
+
+After the system has booted up, use a utility
+similar to  getdelays.c to access the delays
+seen by a given task or a task group (tgid).
+The utility also allows a given command to be
+executed and the corresponding delays to be
+seen.
+
+General format of the getdelays command
+
+getdelays [-t tgid] [-p pid] [-c cmd...]
+
+
+Get delays, since system boot, for pid 10
+# ./getdelays -p 10
+(output similar to next case)
+
+Get sum of delays, since system boot, for all pids with tgid 5
+# ./getdelays -t 5
+
+

+        0       0
+MEM     count   delay total
+        0       0
+
+Get delays seen in executing a given simple command
+# ./getdelays -c ls /

+Per-task statistics interface
+-----------------------------
+
+
+Taskstats is a netlink-based interface for sending per-task and
+per-process statistics from the kernel to userspace.
+
+Taskstats was designed for the following benefits:
+
+- efficiently provide statistics during lifetime of a task and on its exit
+- unified interface for multiple accounting subsystems
+- extensibility for use by future accounting patches
+
+Terminology
+-----------
+
+"pid", "tid" and "task" are used interchangeably and refer to the standard
+Linux task defined by struct task_struct.  per-pid stats are the same as
+per-task stats.
+
+"tgid", "process" and "thread group" are used interchangeably and refer to the
+tasks that share an mm_struct i.e. the traditional Unix process. Despite the
+use of tgid, there is no special treatment for the task that is thread group
+leader - a process is deemed alive as long as it has any task belonging to it.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+To get statistics during a task's lifetime, userspace opens a unicast netlink
+socket (NETLINK_GENERIC family) and sends commands specifying a pid or a tgid.
+The response contains statistics for a task (if pid is specified) or the sum of
+statistics for all tasks of the process (if tgid is specified).
+
+To obtain statistics for tasks which are exiting, the userspace listener
+sends a register command and specifies a cpumask. Whenever a task exits on
+one of the cpus in the cpumask, its per-pid statistics are sent to the
+registered listener. Using cpumasks allows the data received by one listener
+to be limited and assists in flow control over the netlink interface and is
+explained in more detail below.
+
+If the exiting task is the last thread exiting its thread group,
+an additional record containing the per-tgid stats is also sent to userspace.
+The latter contains the sum of per-pid stats for all threads in the thread
+group, both past and present.
+
+getdelays.c is a simple utility demonstrating usage of the taskstats interface
+for reporting delay accounting statistics. Users can register cpumasks,
+send commands and process responses, listen for per-tid/tgid exit data,
+write the data received to a file and do basic flow control by increasing
+receive buffer sizes.
+
+Interface
+---------
+
+The user-kernel interface is encapsulated in include/linux/taskstats.h
+
+To avoid this documentation becoming obsolete as the interface evolves, only
+an outline of the current version is given. taskstats.h always overrides the
+description here.
+
+struct taskstats is the common accounting structure for both per-pid and
+per-tgid data. It is versioned and can be extended by each accounting subsystem
+that is added to the kernel. The fields and their semantics are defined in the
+taskstats.h file.
+
+The data exchanged between user and kernel space is a netlink message belonging
+to the NETLINK_GENERIC family and using the netlink attributes interface.
+The messages are in the format
+
+    +----------+- - -+-------------+-------------------+
+    | nlmsghdr | Pad |  genlmsghdr | taskstats payload |
+    +----------+- - -+-------------+-------------------+
+
+
+The taskstats payload is one of the following three kinds:
+
+1. Commands: Sent from user to kernel. Commands to get data on
+a pid/tgid consist of one attribute, of type TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_PID/TGID,
+containing a u32 pid or tgid in the attribute payload. The pid/tgid denotes
+the task/process for which userspace wants statistics.
+
+Commands to register/deregister interest in exit data from a set of cpus
+consist of one attribute, of type
+TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_REGISTER/DEREGISTER_CPUMASK and contain a cpumask in the
+attribute payload. The cpumask is specified as an ascii string of
+comma-separated cpu ranges e.g. to listen to exit data from cpus 1,2,3,5,7,8
+the cpumask would be "1-3,5,7-8". If userspace forgets to deregister interest
+in cpus before closing the listening socket, the kernel cleans up its interest
+set over time. However, for the sake of efficiency, an explicit deregistration
+is advisable.
+
+2. Response for a command: sent from the kernel in response to a userspace
+command. The payload is a series of three attributes of type:
+
+a) TASKSTATS_TYPE_AGGR_PID/TGID : attribute containing no payload but indicates
+a pid/tgid will be followed by some stats.

+b) TASKSTATS_TYPE_PID/TGID: attribute whose payload is the pid/tgid whose stats
+is being returned.
+
+c) TASKSTATS_TYPE_STATS: attribute with a struct taskstsats as payload. The
+same structure is used for both per-pid and per-tgid stats.
+
+3. New message sent by kernel whenever a task exits. The payload consists of a
+   series of attributes of the following type:
+
+a) TASKSTATS_TYPE_AGGR_PID: indicates next two attributes will be pid+stats
+b) TASKSTATS_TYPE_PID: contains exiting task's pid
+c) TASKSTATS_TYPE_STATS: contains the exiting task's per-pid stats
+d) TASKSTATS_TYPE_AGGR_TGID: indicates next two attributes will be tgid+stats
+e) TASKSTATS_TYPE_TGID: contains tgid of process to which task belongs
+f) TASKSTATS_TYPE_STATS: contains the per-tgid stats for exiting task's process
+
+
+per-tgid stats
+--------------
+
+Taskstats provides per-process stats, in addition to per-task stats, since
+resource management is often done at a process granularity and aggregating task
+stats in userspace alone is inefficient and potentially inaccurate (due to lack
+of atomicity).
+
+However, maintaining per-process, in addition to per-task stats, within the
+kernel has space and time overheads. To address this, the taskstats code
+accumalates each exiting task's statistics into a process-wide data structure.
+When the last task of a process exits, the process level data accumalated also
+gets sent to userspace (along with the per-task data).
+
+When a user queries to get per-tgid data, the sum of all other live threads in
+the group is added up and added to the accumalated total for previously exited
+threads of the same thread group.
+
+Extending taskstats
+-------------------
+
+There are two ways to extend the taskstats interface to export more
+per-task/process stats as patches to collect them get added to the kernel
+in future:
+
+1. Adding more fields to the end of the existing struct taskstats. Backward
+   compatibility is ensured by the version number within the
+   structure. Userspace will use only the fields of the struct that correspond
+   to the version its using.
+
+2. Defining separate statistic structs and using the netlink attributes
+   interface to return them. Since userspace processes each netlink attribute
+   independently, it can always ignore attributes whose type it does not
+   understand (because it is using an older version of the interface).
+
+
+Choosing between 1. and 2. is a matter of trading off flexibility and
+overhead. If only a few fields need to be added, then 1. is the preferable
+path since the kernel and userspace don't need to incur the overhead of
+processing new netlink attributes. But if the new fields expand the existing
+struct too much, requiring disparate userspace accounting utilities to
+unnecessarily receive large structures whose fields are of no interest, then
+extending the attributes structure would be worthwhile.
+
+Flow control for taskstats
+--------------------------
+
+When the rate of task exits becomes large, a listener may not be able to keep
+up with the kernel's rate of sending per-tid/tgid exit data leading to data
+loss. This possibility gets compounded when the taskstats structure gets
+extended and the number of cpus grows large.
+
+To avoid losing statistics, userspace should do one or more of the following:
+
+- increase the receive buffer sizes for the netlink sockets opened by
+listeners to receive exit data.
+
+- create more listeners and reduce the number of cpus being listened to by
+each listener. In the extreme case, there could be one listener for each cpu.
+Users may also consider setting the cpu affinity of the listener to the subset
+of cpus to which it listens, especially if they are listening to just one cpu.
+
+Despite these measures, if the userspace receives ENOBUFS error messages
+indicated overflow of receive buffers, it should take measures to handle the
+loss of data.

+relay interface (formerly relayfs)
+==================================
+
+The relay interface provides a means for kernel applications to
+efficiently log and transfer large quantities of data from the kernel
+to userspace via user-defined 'relay channels'.
+
+A 'relay channel' is a kernel->user data relay mechanism implemented
+as a set of per-cpu kernel buffers ('channel buffers'), each
+represented as a regular file ('relay file') in user space.  Kernel
+clients write into the channel buffers using efficient write
+functions; these automatically log into the current cpu's channel
+buffer.  User space applications mmap() or read() from the relay files
+and retrieve the data as it becomes available.  The relay files
+themselves are files created in a host filesystem, e.g. debugfs, and
+are associated with the channel buffers using the API described below.
+
+The format of the data logged into the channel buffers is completely
+up to the kernel client; the relay interface does however provide
+hooks which allow kernel clients to impose some structure on the
+buffer data.  The relay interface doesn't implement any form of data
+filtering - this also is left to the kernel client.  The purpose is to
+keep things as simple as possible.
+
+This document provides an overview of the relay interface API.  The
+details of the function parameters are documented along with the
+functions in the relay interface code - please see that for details.
+
+Semantics
+=========
+
+Each relay channel has one buffer per CPU, each buffer has one or more
+sub-buffers.  Messages are written to the first sub-buffer until it is
+too full to contain a new message, in which case it it is written to
+the next (if available).  Messages are never split across sub-buffers.
+At this point, userspace can be notified so it empties the first
+sub-buffer, while the kernel continues writing to the next.
+
+When notified that a sub-buffer is full, the kernel knows how many
+bytes of it are padding i.e. unused space occurring because a complete
+message couldn't fit into a sub-buffer.  Userspace can use this
+knowledge to copy only valid data.
+
+After copying it, userspace can notify the kernel that a sub-buffer
+has been consumed.
+
+A relay channel can operate in a mode where it will overwrite data not
+yet collected by userspace, and not wait for it to be consumed.
+
+The relay channel itself does not provide for communication of such
+data between userspace and kernel, allowing the kernel side to remain
+simple and not impose a single interface on userspace.  It does
+provide a set of examples and a separate helper though, described
+below.
+
+The read() interface both removes padding and internally consumes the
+read sub-buffers; thus in cases where read(2) is being used to drain
+the channel buffers, special-purpose communication between kernel and
+user isn't necessary for basic operation.
+
+One of the major goals of the relay interface is to provide a low
+overhead mechanism for conveying kernel data to userspace.  While the
+read() interface is easy to use, it's not as efficient as the mmap()
+approach; the example code attempts to make the tradeoff between the
+two approaches as small as possible.
+
+klog and relay-apps example code
+================================
+
+The relay interface itself is ready to use, but to make things easier,
+a couple simple utility functions and a set of examples are provided.
+
+The relay-apps example tarball, available on the relay sourceforge
+site, contains a set of self-contained examples, each consisting of a
+pair of .c files containing boilerplate code for each of the user and
+kernel sides of a relay application.  When combined these two sets of
+boilerplate code provide glue to easily stream data to disk, without
+having to bother with mundane housekeeping chores.
+
+The 'klog debugging functions' patch (klog.patch in the relay-apps
+tarball) provides a couple of high-level logging functions to the
+kernel which allow writing formatted text or raw data to a channel,
+regardless of whether a channel to write into exists or not, or even
+whether the relay interface is compiled into the kernel or not.  These
+functions allow you to put unconditional 'trace' statements anywhere
+in the kernel or kernel modules; only when there is a 'klog handler'
+registered will data actually be logged (see the klog and kleak
+examples for details).
+
+It is of course possible to use the relay interface from scratch,
+i.e. without using any of the relay-apps example code or klog, but
+you'll have to implement communication between userspace and kernel,
+allowing both to convey the state of buffers (full, empty, amount of
+padding).  The read() interface both removes padding and internally
+consumes the read sub-buffers; thus in cases where read(2) is being
+used to drain the channel buffers, special-purpose communication
+between kernel and user isn't necessary for basic operation.  Things
+such as buffer-full conditions would still need to be communicated via
+some channel though.
+
+klog and the relay-apps examples can be found in the relay-apps
+tarball on http://relayfs.sourceforge.net
+
+The relay interface user space API
+==================================
+
+The relay interface implements basic file operations for user space
+access to relay channel buffer data.  Here are the file operations
+that are available and some comments regarding their behavior:
+
+open()      enables user to open an _existing_ channel buffer.
+
+mmap()      results in channel buffer being mapped into the caller's
+            memory space. Note that you can't do a partial mmap - you
+            must map the entire file, which is NRBUF * SUBBUFSIZE.
+
+read()      read the contents of a channel buffer.  The bytes read are
+            'consumed' by the reader, i.e. they won't be available
+            again to subsequent reads.  If the channel is being used
+            in no-overwrite mode (the default), it can be read at any
+            time even if there's an active kernel writer.  If the
+            channel is being used in overwrite mode and there are
+            active channel writers, results may be unpredictable -
+            users should make sure that all logging to the channel has
+            ended before using read() with overwrite mode.  Sub-buffer
+            padding is automatically removed and will not be seen by
+            the reader.
+
+sendfile()  transfer data from a channel buffer to an output file
+            descriptor. Sub-buffer padding is automatically removed
+            and will not be seen by the reader.
+
+poll()      POLLIN/POLLRDNORM/POLLERR supported.  User applications are
+            notified when sub-buffer boundaries are crossed.
+
+close()     decrements the channel buffer's refcount.  When the refcount
+            reaches 0, i.e. when no process or kernel client has the
+            buffer open, the channel buffer is freed.
+
+In order for a user application to make use of relay files, the
+host filesystem must be mounted.  For example,
+
+        mount -t debugfs debugfs /debug
+
+NOTE:   the host filesystem doesn't need to be mounted for kernel
+        clients to create or use channels - it only needs to be
+        mounted when user space applications need access to the buffer
+        data.
+
+
+The relay interface kernel API
+==============================
+
+Here's a summary of the API the relay interface provides to in-kernel clients:
+
+TBD(curr. line MT:/API/)
+  channel management functions:
+
+    relay_open(base_filename, parent, subbuf_size, n_subbufs,
+               callbacks)
+    relay_close(chan)
+    relay_flush(chan)
+    relay_reset(chan)
+
+  channel management typically called on instigation of userspace:
+
+    relay_subbufs_consumed(chan, cpu, subbufs_consumed)
+
+  write functions:
+
+    relay_write(chan, data, length)
+    __relay_write(chan, data, length)
+    relay_reserve(chan, length)
+
+  callbacks:
+
+    subbuf_start(buf, subbuf, prev_subbuf, prev_padding)
+    buf_mapped(buf, filp)
+    buf_unmapped(buf, filp)
+    create_buf_file(filename, parent, mode, buf, is_global)
+    remove_buf_file(dentry)
+
+  helper functions:
+
+    relay_buf_full(buf)
+    subbuf_start_reserve(buf, length)
+
+
+Creating a channel
+------------------
+
+relay_open() is used to create a channel, along with its per-cpu
+channel buffers.  Each channel buffer will have an associated file
+created for it in the host filesystem, which can be and mmapped or
+read from in user space.  The files are named basename0...basenameN-1
+where N is the number of online cpus, and by default will be created
+in the root of the filesystem (if the parent param is NULL).  If you
+want a directory structure to contain your relay files, you should
+create it using the host filesystem's directory creation function,
+e.g. debugfs_create_dir(), and pass the parent directory to
+relay_open().  Users are responsible for cleaning up any directory
+structure they create, when the channel is closed - again the host
+filesystem's directory removal functions should be used for that,
+e.g. debugfs_remove().
+
+In order for a channel to be created and the host filesystem's files
+associated with its channel buffers, the user must provide definitions
+for two callback functions, create_buf_file() and remove_buf_file().
+create_buf_file() is called once for each per-cpu buffer from
+relay_open() and allows the user to create the file which will be used
+to represent the corresponding channel buffer.  The callback should
+return the dentry of the file created to represent the channel buffer.
+remove_buf_file() must also be defined; it's responsible for deleting
+the file(s) created in create_buf_file() and is called during
+relay_close().
+
+Here are some typical definitions for these callbacks, in this case
+using debugfs:
+
+/*
+ * create_buf_file() callback.  Creates relay file in debugfs.
+ */
+static struct dentry *create_buf_file_handler(const char *filename,
+                                              struct dentry *parent,
+                                              int mode,
+                                              struct rchan_buf *buf,
+                                              int *is_global)
+{
+        return debugfs_create_file(filename, mode, parent, buf,
+                                   &relay_file_operations);
+}
+
+/*
+ * remove_buf_file() callback.  Removes relay file from debugfs.
+ */
+static int remove_buf_file_handler(struct dentry *dentry)
+{
+        debugfs_remove(dentry);
+
+        return 0;
+}
+
+/*
+ * relay interface callbacks
+ */
+static struct rchan_callbacks relay_callbacks =
+{
+        .create_buf_file = create_buf_file_handler,
+        .remove_buf_file = remove_buf_file_handler,
+};
+
+And an example relay_open() invocation using them:
+
+  chan = relay_open("cpu", NULL, SUBBUF_SIZE, N_SUBBUFS, &relay_callbacks);
+
+If the create_buf_file() callback fails, or isn't defined, channel
+creation and thus relay_open() will fail.
+
+The total size of each per-cpu buffer is calculated by multiplying the
+number of sub-buffers by the sub-buffer size passed into relay_open().
+The idea behind sub-buffers is that they're basically an extension of
+double-buffering to N buffers, and they also allow applications to
+easily implement random-access-on-buffer-boundary schemes, which can
+be important for some high-volume applications.  The number and size
+of sub-buffers is completely dependent on the application and even for
+the same application, different conditions will warrant different
+values for these parameters at different times.  Typically, the right
+values to use are best decided after some experimentation; in general,
+though, it's safe to assume that having only 1 sub-buffer is a bad
+idea - you're guaranteed to either overwrite data or lose events
+depending on the channel mode being used.
+
+The create_buf_file() implementation can also be defined in such a way
+as to allow the creation of a single 'global' buffer instead of the
+default per-cpu set.  This can be useful for applications interested
+mainly in seeing the relative ordering of system-wide events without
+the need to bother with saving explicit timestamps for the purpose of
+merging/sorting per-cpu files in a postprocessing step.
+
+To have relay_open() create a global buffer, the create_buf_file()
+implementation should set the value of the is_global outparam to a
+non-zero value in addition to creating the file that will be used to
+represent the single buffer.  In the case of a global buffer,
+create_buf_file() and remove_buf_file() will be called only once.  The
+normal channel-writing functions, e.g. relay_write(), can still be
+used - writes from any cpu will transparently end up in the global
+buffer - but since it is a global buffer, callers should make sure
+they use the proper locking for such a buffer, either by wrapping
+writes in a spinlock, or by copying a write function from relay.h and
+creating a local version that internally does the proper locking.
+
+Channel 'modes'
+---------------
+
+relay channels can be used in either of two modes - 'overwrite' or
+'no-overwrite'.  The mode is entirely determined by the implementation
+of the subbuf_start() callback, as described below.  The default if no
+subbuf_start() callback is defined is 'no-overwrite' mode.  If the
+default mode suits your needs, and you plan to use the read()
+interface to retrieve channel data, you can ignore the details of this
+section, as it pertains mainly to mmap() implementations.
+
+In 'overwrite' mode, also known as 'flight recorder' mode, writes
+continuously cycle around the buffer and will never fail, but will
+unconditionally overwrite old data regardless of whether it's actually
+been consumed.  In no-overwrite mode, writes will fail, i.e. data will
+be lost, if the number of unconsumed sub-buffers equals the total
+number of sub-buffers in the channel.  It should be clear that if
+there is no consumer or if the consumer can't consume sub-buffers fast
+enough, data will be lost in either case; the only difference is
+whether data is lost from the beginning or the end of a buffer.
+
+As explained above, a relay channel is made of up one or more
+per-cpu channel buffers, each implemented as a circular buffer
+subdivided into one or more sub-buffers.  Messages are written into
+the current sub-buffer of the channel's current per-cpu buffer via the
+write functions described below.  Whenever a message can't fit into
+the current sub-buffer, because there's no room left for it, the
+client is notified via the subbuf_start() callback that a switch to a
+new sub-buffer is about to occur.  The client uses this callback to 1)
+initialize the next sub-buffer if appropriate 2) finalize the previous
+sub-buffer if appropriate and 3) return a boolean value indicating
+whether or not to actually move on to the next sub-buffer.
+
+To implement 'no-overwrite' mode, the userspace client would provide
+an implementation of the subbuf_start() callback something like the
+following:
+
+static int subbuf_start(struct rchan_buf *buf,
+                        void *subbuf,
+                        void *prev_subbuf,
+                        unsigned int prev_padding)
+{
+        if (prev_subbuf)
+                *((unsigned *)prev_subbuf) = prev_padding;
+
+        if (relay_buf_full(buf))
+                return 0;
+
+        subbuf_start_reserve(buf, sizeof(unsigned int));
+
+        return 1;
+}
+
+If the current buffer is full, i.e. all sub-buffers remain unconsumed,
+the callback returns 0 to indicate that the buffer switch should not
+occur yet, i.e. until the consumer has had a chance to read the
+current set of ready sub-buffers.  For the relay_buf_full() function
+to make sense, the consumer is reponsible for notifying the relay
+interface when sub-buffers have been consumed via
+relay_subbufs_consumed().  Any subsequent attempts to write into the
+buffer will again invoke the subbuf_start() callback with the same
+parameters; only when the consumer has consumed one or more of the
+ready sub-buffers will relay_buf_full() return 0, in which case the
+buffer switch can continue.
+
+The implementation of the subbuf_start() callback for 'overwrite' mode
+would be very similar:
+
+static int subbuf_start(struct rchan_buf *buf,
+                        void *subbuf,
+                        void *prev_subbuf,
+                        unsigned int prev_padding)
+{
+        if (prev_subbuf)
+                *((unsigned *)prev_subbuf) = prev_padding;
+
+        subbuf_start_reserve(buf, sizeof(unsigned int));
+
+        return 1;
+}
+
+In this case, the relay_buf_full() check is meaningless and the
+callback always returns 1, causing the buffer switch to occur
+unconditionally.  It's also meaningless for the client to use the
+relay_subbufs_consumed() function in this mode, as it's never
+consulted.
+
+The default subbuf_start() implementation, used if the client doesn't
+define any callbacks, or doesn't define the subbuf_start() callback,
+implements the simplest possible 'no-overwrite' mode, i.e. it does
+nothing but return 0.
+
+Header information can be reserved at the beginning of each sub-buffer
+by calling the subbuf_start_reserve() helper function from within the
+subbuf_start() callback.  This reserved area can be used to store
+whatever information the client wants.  In the example above, room is
+reserved in each sub-buffer to store the padding count for that
+sub-buffer.  This is filled in for the previous sub-buffer in the
+subbuf_start() implementation; the padding value for the previous
+sub-buffer is passed into the subbuf_start() callback along with a
+pointer to the previous sub-buffer, since the padding value isn't
+known until a sub-buffer is filled.  The subbuf_start() callback is
+also called for the first sub-buffer when the channel is opened, to
+give the client a chance to reserve space in it.  In this case the
+previous sub-buffer pointer passed into the callback will be NULL, so
+the client should check the value of the prev_subbuf pointer before
+writing into the previous sub-buffer.
+
+Writing to a channel
+--------------------
+
+Kernel clients write data into the current cpu's channel buffer using
+relay_write() or __relay_write().  relay_write() is the main logging
+function - it uses local_irqsave() to protect the buffer and should be
+used if you might be logging from interrupt context.  If you know
+you'll never be logging from interrupt context, you can use
+__relay_write(), which only disables preemption.  These functions
+don't return a value, so you can't determine whether or not they
+failed - the assumption is that you wouldn't want to check a return
+value in the fast logging path anyway, and that they'll always succeed
+unless the buffer is full and no-overwrite mode is being used, in
+which case you can detect a failed write in the subbuf_start()
+callback by calling the relay_buf_full() helper function.
+
+relay_reserve() is used to reserve a slot in a channel buffer which
+can be written to later.  This would typically be used in applications
+that need to write directly into a channel buffer without having to
+stage data in a temporary buffer beforehand.  Because the actual write
+may not happen immediately after the slot is reserved, applications
+using relay_reserve() can keep a count of the number of bytes actually
+written, either in space reserved in the sub-buffers themselves or as
+a separate array.  See the 'reserve' example in the relay-apps tarball
+at http://relayfs.sourceforge.net for an example of how this can be
+done.  Because the write is under control of the client and is
+separated from the reserve, relay_reserve() doesn't protect the buffer
+at all - it's up to the client to provide the appropriate
+synchronization when using relay_reserve().
+
+Closing a channel
+-----------------
+
+The client calls relay_close() when it's finished using the channel.
+The channel and its associated buffers are destroyed when there are no
+longer any references to any of the channel buffers.  relay_flush()
+forces a sub-buffer switch on all the channel buffers, and can be used
+to finalize and process the last sub-buffers before the channel is
+closed.
+
+Misc
+----
+
+Some applications may want to keep a channel around and re-use it
+rather than open and close a new channel for each use.  relay_reset()
+can be used for this purpose - it resets a channel to its initial
+state without reallocating channel buffer memory or destroying
+existing mappings.  It should however only be called when it's safe to
+do so, i.e. when the channel isn't currently being written to.
+
+Finally, there are a couple of utility callbacks that can be used for
+different purposes.  buf_mapped() is called whenever a channel buffer
+is mmapped from user space and buf_unmapped() is called when it's
+unmapped.  The client can use this notification to trigger actions
+within the kernel application, such as enabling/disabling logging to
+the channel.

-relayfs - a high-speed data relay filesystem
-============================================
-
-relayfs is a filesystem designed to provide an efficient mechanism for
-tools and facilities to relay large and potentially sustained streams
-of data from kernel space to user space.
-
-The main abstraction of relayfs is the 'channel'.  A channel consists
-of a set of per-cpu kernel buffers each represented by a file in the
-relayfs filesystem.  Kernel clients write into a channel using
-efficient write functions which automatically log to the current cpu's
-channel buffer.  User space applications mmap() the per-cpu files and
-retrieve the data as it becomes available.
-
-The format of the data logged into the channel buffers is completely
-up to the relayfs client; relayfs does however provide hooks which
-allow clients to impose some structure on the buffer data.  Nor does
-relayfs implement any form of data filtering - this also is left to
-the client.  The purpose is to keep relayfs as simple as possible.
-
-This document provides an overview of the relayfs API.  The details of
-the function parameters are documented along with the functions in the
-filesystem code - please see that for details.
-
-Semantics
-=========
-
-Each relayfs channel has one buffer per CPU, each buffer has one or
-more sub-buffers. Messages are written to the first sub-buffer until
-it is too full to contain a new message, in which case it it is
-written to the next (if available).  Messages are never split across
-sub-buffers.  At this point, userspace can be notified so it empties
-the first sub-buffer, while the kernel continues writing to the next.
-
-When notified that a sub-buffer is full, the kernel knows how many
-bytes of it are padding i.e. unused.  Userspace can use this knowledge
-to copy only valid data.
-
-After copying it, userspace can notify the kernel that a sub-buffer
-has been consumed.
-
-relayfs can operate in a mode where it will overwrite data not yet
-collected by userspace, and not wait for it to consume it.
-
-relayfs itself does not provide for communication of such data between
-userspace and kernel, allowing the kernel side to remain simple and
-not impose a single interface on userspace. It does provide a set of
-examples and a separate helper though, described below.
-
-klog and relay-apps example code
-================================
-
-relayfs itself is ready to use, but to make things easier, a couple
-simple utility functions and a set of examples are provided.
-
-The relay-apps example tarball, available on the relayfs sourceforge
-site, contains a set of self-contained examples, each consisting of a
-pair of .c files containing boilerplate code for each of the user and
-kernel sides of a relayfs application; combined these two sets of
-boilerplate code provide glue to easily stream data to disk, without
-having to bother with mundane housekeeping chores.
-
-The 'klog debugging functions' patch (klog.patch in the relay-apps
-tarball) provides a couple of high-level logging functions to the
-kernel which allow writing formatted text or raw data to a channel,
-regardless of whether a channel to write into exists or not, or
-whether relayfs is compiled into the kernel or is configured as a
-module.  These functions allow you to put unconditional 'trace'
-statements anywhere in the kernel or kernel modules; only when there
-is a 'klog handler' registered will data actually be logged (see the
-klog and kleak examples for details).
-
-It is of course possible to use relayfs from scratch i.e. without
-using any of the relay-apps example code or klog, but you'll have to
-implement communication between userspace and kernel, allowing both to
-convey the state of buffers (full, empty, amount of padding).
-
-klog and the relay-apps examples can be found in the relay-apps
-tarball on http://relayfs.sourceforge.net
-
-
-The relayfs user space API
-==========================
-
-relayfs implements basic file operations for user space access to
-relayfs channel buffer data.  Here are the file operations that are
-available and some comments regarding their behavior:
-
-open()   enables user to open an _existing_ buffer.
-
-mmap()   results in channel buffer being mapped into the caller's
-         memory space. Note that you can't do a partial mmap - you must
-         map the entire file, which is NRBUF * SUBBUFSIZE.
-
-read()   read the contents of a channel buffer.  The bytes read are
-         'consumed' by the reader i.e. they won't be available again
-         to subsequent reads.  If the channel is being used in
-         no-overwrite mode (the default), it can be read at any time
-         even if there's an active kernel writer.  If the channel is
-         being used in overwrite mode and there are active channel
-         writers, results may be unpredictable - users should make
-         sure that all logging to the channel has ended before using
-         read() with overwrite mode.
-
-poll()   POLLIN/POLLRDNORM/POLLERR supported.  User applications are
-         notified when sub-buffer boundaries are crossed.
-
-close() decrements the channel buffer's refcount.  When the refcount
-        reaches 0 i.e. when no process or kernel client has the buffer
-        open, the channel buffer is freed.
-
-
-In order for a user application to make use of relayfs files, the
-relayfs filesystem must be mounted.  For example,
-
-        mount -t relayfs relayfs /mnt/relay
-
-NOTE:   relayfs doesn't need to be mounted for kernel clients to create
-        or use channels - it only needs to be mounted when user space
-        applications need access to the buffer data.
-
-
-The relayfs kernel API
-======================
-
-Here's a summary of the API relayfs provides to in-kernel clients:
-
-
-  channel management functions:
-
-    relay_open(base_filename, parent, subbuf_size, n_subbufs,
-               callbacks)
-    relay_close(chan)
-    relay_flush(chan)
-    relay_reset(chan)
-    relayfs_create_dir(name, parent)
-    relayfs_remove_dir(dentry)
-    relayfs_create_file(name, parent, mode, fops, data)
-    relayfs_remove_file(dentry)
-
-  channel management typically called on instigation of userspace:
-
-    relay_subbufs_consumed(chan, cpu, subbufs_consumed)
-
-  write functions:
-
-    relay_write(chan, data, length)
-    __relay_write(chan, data, length)
-    relay_reserve(chan, length)
-
-  callbacks:
-
-    subbuf_start(buf, subbuf, prev_subbuf, prev_padding)
-    buf_mapped(buf, filp)
-    buf_unmapped(buf, filp)
-    create_buf_file(filename, parent, mode, buf, is_global)
-    remove_buf_file(dentry)
-
-  helper functions:
-
-    relay_buf_full(buf)
-    subbuf_start_reserve(buf, length)
-
-
-Creating a channel
-------------------
-
-relay_open() is used to create a channel, along with its per-cpu
-channel buffers.  Each channel buffer will have an associated file
-created for it in the relayfs filesystem, which can be opened and
-mmapped from user space if desired.  The files are named
-basename0...basenameN-1 where N is the number of online cpus, and by
-default will be created in the root of the filesystem.  If you want a
-directory structure to contain your relayfs files, you can create it
-with relayfs_create_dir() and pass the parent directory to
-relay_open().  Clients are responsible for cleaning up any directory
-structure they create when the channel is closed - use
-relayfs_remove_dir() for that.
-
-The total size of each per-cpu buffer is calculated by multiplying the
-number of sub-buffers by the sub-buffer size passed into relay_open().
-The idea behind sub-buffers is that they're basically an extension of
-double-buffering to N buffers, and they also allow applications to
-easily implement random-access-on-buffer-boundary schemes, which can
-be important for some high-volume applications.  The number and size
-of sub-buffers is completely dependent on the application and even for
-the same application, different conditions will warrant different
-values for these parameters at different times.  Typically, the right
-values to use are best decided after some experimentation; in general,
-though, it's safe to assume that having only 1 sub-buffer is a bad
-idea - you're guaranteed to either overwrite data or lose events
-depending on the channel mode being used.
-
-Channel 'modes'
----------------
-
-relayfs channels can be used in either of two modes - 'overwrite' or
-'no-overwrite'.  The mode is entirely determined by the implementation
-of the subbuf_start() callback, as described below.  In 'overwrite'
-mode, also known as 'flight recorder' mode, writes continuously cycle
-around the buffer and will never fail, but will unconditionally
-overwrite old data regardless of whether it's actually been consumed.
-In no-overwrite mode, writes will fail i.e. data will be lost, if the
-number of unconsumed sub-buffers equals the total number of
-sub-buffers in the channel.  It should be clear that if there is no
-consumer or if the consumer can't consume sub-buffers fast enought,
-data will be lost in either case; the only difference is whether data
-is lost from the beginning or the end of a buffer.
-
-As explained above, a relayfs channel is made of up one or more
-per-cpu channel buffers, each implemented as a circular buffer
-subdivided into one or more sub-buffers.  Messages are written into
-the current sub-buffer of the channel's current per-cpu buffer via the
-write functions described below.  Whenever a message can't fit into
-the current sub-buffer, because there's no room left for it, the
-client is notified via the subbuf_start() callback that a switch to a
-new sub-buffer is about to occur.  The client uses this callback to 1)
-initialize the next sub-buffer if appropriate 2) finalize the previous
-sub-buffer if appropriate and 3) return a boolean value indicating
-whether or not to actually go ahead with the sub-buffer switch.
-
-To implement 'no-overwrite' mode, the userspace client would provide
-an implementation of the subbuf_start() callback something like the
-following:
-
-static int subbuf_start(struct rchan_buf *buf,
-                        void *subbuf,
-                        void *prev_subbuf,
-                        unsigned int prev_padding)
-{
-        if (prev_subbuf)
-                *((unsigned *)prev_subbuf) = prev_padding;
-
-        if (relay_buf_full(buf))
-                return 0;
-
-        subbuf_start_reserve(buf, sizeof(unsigned int));
-
-        return 1;
-}
-
-If the current buffer is full i.e. all sub-buffers remain unconsumed,
-the callback returns 0 to indicate that the buffer switch should not
-occur yet i.e. until the consumer has had a chance to read the current
-set of ready sub-buffers.  For the relay_buf_full() function to make
-sense, the consumer is reponsible for notifying relayfs when
-sub-buffers have been consumed via relay_subbufs_consumed().  Any
-subsequent attempts to write into the buffer will again invoke the
-subbuf_start() callback with the same parameters; only when the
-consumer has consumed one or more of the ready sub-buffers will
-relay_buf_full() return 0, in which case the buffer switch can
-continue.
-
-The implementation of the subbuf_start() callback for 'overwrite' mode
-would be very similar:
-
-static int subbuf_start(struct rchan_buf *buf,
-                        void *subbuf,
-                        void *prev_subbuf,
-                        unsigned int prev_padding)
-{
-        if (prev_subbuf)
-                *((unsigned *)prev_subbuf) = prev_padding;
-
-        subbuf_start_reserve(buf, sizeof(unsigned int));
-
-        return 1;
-}
-
-In this case, the relay_buf_full() check is meaningless and the
-callback always returns 1, causing the buffer switch to occur
-unconditionally.  It's also meaningless for the client to use the
-relay_subbufs_consumed() function in this mode, as it's never
-consulted.
-
-The default subbuf_start() implementation, used if the client doesn't
-define any callbacks, or doesn't define the subbuf_start() callback,
-implements the simplest possible 'no-overwrite' mode i.e. it does
-nothing but return 0.
-
-Header information can be reserved at the beginning of each sub-buffer
-by calling the subbuf_start_reserve() helper function from within the
-subbuf_start() callback.  This reserved area can be used to store
-whatever information the client wants.  In the example above, room is
-reserved in each sub-buffer to store the padding count for that
-sub-buffer.  This is filled in for the previous sub-buffer in the
-subbuf_start() implementation; the padding value for the previous
-sub-buffer is passed into the subbuf_start() callback along with a
-pointer to the previous sub-buffer, since the padding value isn't
-known until a sub-buffer is filled.  The subbuf_start() callback is
-also called for the first sub-buffer when the channel is opened, to
-give the client a chance to reserve space in it.  In this case the
-previous sub-buffer pointer passed into the callback will be NULL, so
-the client should check the value of the prev_subbuf pointer before
-writing into the previous sub-buffer.
-
-Writing to a channel
---------------------
-
-kernel clients write data into the current cpu's channel buffer using
-relay_write() or __relay_write().  relay_write() is the main logging
-function - it uses local_irqsave() to protect the buffer and should be
-used if you might be logging from interrupt context.  If you know
-you'll never be logging from interrupt context, you can use
-__relay_write(), which only disables preemption.  These functions
-don't return a value, so you can't determine whether or not they
-failed - the assumption is that you wouldn't want to check a return
-value in the fast logging path anyway, and that they'll always succeed
-unless the buffer is full and no-overwrite mode is being used, in
-which case you can detect a failed write in the subbuf_start()
-callback by calling the relay_buf_full() helper function.
-
-relay_reserve() is used to reserve a slot in a channel buffer which
-can be written to later.  This would typically be used in applications
-that need to write directly into a channel buffer without having to
-stage data in a temporary buffer beforehand.  Because the actual write
-may not happen immediately after the slot is reserved, applications
-using relay_reserve() can keep a count of the number of bytes actually
-written, either in space reserved in the sub-buffers themselves or as
-a separate array.  See the 'reserve' example in the relay-apps tarball
-at http://relayfs.sourceforge.net for an example of how this can be
-done.  Because the write is under control of the client and is
-separated from the reserve, relay_reserve() doesn't protect the buffer
-at all - it's up to the client to provide the appropriate
-synchronization when using relay_reserve().
-
-Closing a channel
------------------
-
-The client calls relay_close() when it's finished using the channel.
-The channel and its associated buffers are destroyed when there are no
-longer any references to any of the channel buffers.  relay_flush()
-forces a sub-buffer switch on all the channel buffers, and can be used
-to finalize and process the last sub-buffers before the channel is
-closed.
-
-Creating non-relay files
-------------------------
-
-relay_open() automatically creates files in the relayfs filesystem to
-represent the per-cpu kernel buffers; it's often useful for
-applications to be able to create their own files alongside the relay
-files in the relayfs filesystem as well e.g. 'control' files much like
-those created in /proc or debugfs for similar purposes, used to
-communicate control information between the kernel and user sides of a
-relayfs application.  For this purpose the relayfs_create_file() and
-relayfs_remove_file() API functions exist.  For relayfs_create_file(),
-the caller passes in a set of user-defined file operations to be used
-for the file and an optional void * to a user-specified data item,
-which will be accessible via inode->u.generic_ip (see the relay-apps
-tarball for examples).  The file_operations are a required parameter
-to relayfs_create_file() and thus the semantics of these files are
-completely defined by the caller.

-
-Creating relay files in other filesystems
------------------------------------------
-
-By default of course, relay_open() creates relay files in the relayfs
-filesystem.  Because relay_file_operations is exported, however, it's
-also possible to create and use relay files in other pseudo-filesytems
-such as debugfs.
-
-For this purpose, two callback functions are provided,
-create_buf_file() and remove_buf_file().  create_buf_file() is called
-once for each per-cpu buffer from relay_open() to allow the client to
-create a file to be used to represent the corresponding buffer; if
-this callback is not defined, the default implementation will create
-and return a file in the relayfs filesystem to represent the buffer.
-The callback should return the dentry of the file created to represent
-the relay buffer.  Note that the parent directory passed to
-relay_open() (and passed along to the callback), if specified, must
-exist in the same filesystem the new relay file is created in.  If
-create_buf_file() is defined, remove_buf_file() must also be defined;
-it's responsible for deleting the file(s) created in create_buf_file()
-and is called during relay_close().
-
-The create_buf_file() implementation can also be defined in such a way
-as to allow the creation of a single 'global' buffer instead of the
-default per-cpu set.  This can be useful for applications interested
-mainly in seeing the relative ordering of system-wide events without
-the need to bother with saving explicit timestamps for the purpose of
-merging/sorting per-cpu files in a postprocessing step.
-
-To have relay_open() create a global buffer, the create_buf_file()
-implementation should set the value of the is_global outparam to a
-non-zero value in addition to creating the file that will be used to
-represent the single buffer.  In the case of a global buffer,
-create_buf_file() and remove_buf_file() will be called only once.  The
-normal channel-writing functions e.g. relay_write() can still be used
-- writes from any cpu will transparently end up in the global buffer -
-but since it is a global buffer, callers should make sure they use the
-proper locking for such a buffer, either by wrapping writes in a
-spinlock, or by copying a write function from relayfs_fs.h and
-creating a local version that internally does the proper locking.
-
-See the 'exported-relayfile' examples in the relay-apps tarball for
-examples of creating and using relay files in debugfs.
-
-Misc
-----
-
-Some applications may want to keep a channel around and re-use it
-rather than open and close a new channel for each use.  relay_reset()
-can be used for this purpose - it resets a channel to its initial
-state without reallocating channel buffer memory or destroying
-existing mappings.  It should however only be called when it's safe to
-do so i.e. when the channel isn't currently being written to.
-
-Finally, there are a couple of utility callbacks that can be used for
-different purposes.  buf_mapped() is called whenever a channel buffer
-is mmapped from user space and buf_unmapped() is called when it's
-unmapped.  The client can use this notification to trigger actions
-within the kernel application, such as enabling/disabling logging to
-the channel.

         A "Datasheet" has been written based on the reverse engineering it
         should be available in the same dir as this file under the name
         abituguru-datasheet.
+    Note:
+        The uGuru is a microcontroller with onboard firmware which programs
+        it to behave as a hwmon IC. There are many different revisions of the
+        firmware and thus effectivly many different revisions of the uGuru.
+        Below is an incomplete list with which revisions are used for which
+        Motherboards:
+        uGuru 1.00    ~ 1.24    (AI7, KV8-MAX3, AN7) (1)

+        uGuru 4.xxxxx?          (AT8 32X) (2)
+        1) For revisions 2 and 3 uGuru's the driver can autodetect the
+           sensortype (Volt or Temp) for bank1 sensors, for revision 1 uGuru's
+           this doesnot always work. For these uGuru's the autodection can
+           be overriden with the bank1_types module param. For all 3 known

+           bank1_types=1,1,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,1
+           You may also need to specify the fan_sensors option for these boards
+           fan_sensors=5

-        linux system with major number 0 and minor number 255 using mknod:

+They depend on various facilities being available:
 
-                dd if=/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage of=/dev/fd0
 
-        And finally use rdev to set the root device:
+3.1)  Booting from a floppy using syslinux
 
-                rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/boot255
+        When building kernels, an easy way to create a boot floppy that uses
+        syslinux is to use the zdisk or bzdisk make targets which use
+        and bzimage images respectively. Both targets accept the
+        FDARGS parameter which can be used to set the kernel command line.
 
-        You can then remove the dummy device /dev/boot255 again. There
-        is no real device available for it.
-        The other two kernel command line parameters cannot be substi-
-        tuted with rdev. Therefore, using this method the kernel will
-        by default use RARP and/or BOOTP, and if it gets an answer via
-        RARP will mount the directory /tftpboot/<client-ip>/ as its
-        root. If it got a BOOTP answer the directory name in that answer
-        is used.
+        e.g.
+           make bzdisk FDARGS="root=/dev/nfs"
+
+        Note that the user running this command will need to have
+        access to the floppy drive device, /dev/fd0
+
+        For more information on syslinux, including how to create bootdisks
+        for prebuilt kernels, see http://syslinux.zytor.com/
+
+        N.B: Previously it was possible to write a kernel directly to
+             a floppy using dd, configure the boot device using rdev, and
+             boot using the resulting floppy. Linux no longer supports this
+             method of booting.
+
+3.2) Booting from a cdrom using isolinux
+
+        When building kernels, an easy way to create a bootable cdrom that
+        uses isolinux is to use the isoimage target which uses a bzimage
+        image. Like zdisk and bzdisk, this target accepts the FDARGS
+        parameter which can be used to set the kernel command line.
+
+        e.g.
+          make isoimage FDARGS="root=/dev/nfs"
+
+        The resulting iso image will be arch/<ARCH>/boot/image.iso
+        This can be written to a cdrom using a variety of tools including
+        cdrecord.
+
+        e.g.
+          cdrecord dev=ATAPI:1,0,0 arch/i386/boot/image.iso
+
+        For more information on isolinux, including how to create bootdisks
+        for prebuilt kernels, see http://syslinux.zytor.com/
 
 3.2) Using LILO
-        When using LILO you can specify all necessary command line
-        parameters with the 'append=' command in the LILO configuration
-        file. However, to use the 'root=' command you also need to
-        set up a dummy device as described in 3.1 above. For how to use
-        LILO and its 'append=' command please refer to the LILO
-        documentation.
+        When using LILO all the necessary command line parameters may be
+        specified using the 'append=' directive in the LILO configuration
+        file.
+
+        However, to use the 'root=' directive you also need to create
+        a dummy root device, which may be removed after LILO is run.
+
+        mknod /dev/boot255 c 0 255
+
+        For information on configuring LILO, please refer to its documentation.
 
 3.3) Using GRUB
-        When you use GRUB, you simply append the parameters after the kernel
-        specification: "kernel <kernel> <parameters>" (without the quotes).
+        When using GRUB, kernel parameter are simply appended after the kernel
+        specification: kernel <kernel> <parameters>
 
 3.4) Using loadlin
-        When you want to boot Linux from a DOS command prompt without
-        having a local hard disk to mount as root, you can use loadlin.
-        I was told that it works, but haven't used it myself yet. In
-        general you should be able to create a kernel command line simi-
-        lar to how LILO is doing it. Please refer to the loadlin docu-
-        mentation for further information.
+        loadlin may be used to boot Linux from a DOS command prompt without
+        requiring a local hard disk to mount as root. This has not been
+        thoroughly tested by the authors of this document, but in general
+        it should be possible configure the kernel command line similarly
+        to the configuration of LILO.
+
+        Please refer to the loadlin documentation for further information.
 
 3.5) Using a boot ROM
-        This is probably the most elegant way of booting a diskless
-        client. With a boot ROM the kernel gets loaded using the TFTP
-        protocol. As far as I know, no commercial boot ROMs yet
-        support booting Linux over the network, but there are two
-        free implementations of a boot ROM available on sunsite.unc.edu
-        and its mirrors. They are called 'netboot-nfs' and 'etherboot'.
-        Both contain everything you need to boot a diskless Linux client.
+        This is probably the most elegant way of booting a diskless client.
+        With a boot ROM the kernel is loaded using the TFTP protocol. The
+        authors of this document are not aware of any no commercial boot
+        ROMs that support booting Linux over the network. However, there
+        are two free implementations of a boot ROM, netboot-nfs and
+        etherboot, both of which are available on sunsite.unc.edu, and both
+        of which contain everything you need to boot a diskless Linux client.
 
 3.6) Using pxelinux
-        Using pxelinux you specify the kernel you built with
+        Pxelinux may be used to boot linux using the PXE boot loader
+        which is present on many modern network cards.
+
+        When using pxelinux, the kernel image is specified using
         "kernel <relative-path-below /tftpboot>". The nfsroot parameters
         are passed to the kernel by adding them to the "append" line.
-        You may perhaps also want to fine tune the console output,
-        see Documentation/serial-console.txt for serial console help.
+        It is common to use serial console in conjunction with pxeliunx,
+        see Documentation/serial-console.txt for more information.

+
+1.      Fixed a bug in megaraid_init_mbox().
+        Customer reported "garbage in file on x86_64 platform".
+        Root Cause: the driver registered controllers as 64-bit DMA capable
+        for those which are not support it.
+        Fix: Made change in the function inserting identification machanism
+        identifying 64-bit DMA capable controllers.
