+Using RCU to Protect Dynamic NMI Handlers
+
+
+Although RCU is usually used to protect read-mostly data structures,
+it is possible to use RCU to provide dynamic non-maskable interrupt
+handlers, as well as dynamic irq handlers.  This document describes
+how to do this, drawing loosely from Zwane Mwaikambo's NMI-timer
+work in "arch/i386/oprofile/nmi_timer_int.c" and in
+"arch/i386/kernel/traps.c".
+
+The relevant pieces of code are listed below, each followed by a
+brief explanation.
+
+        static int dummy_nmi_callback(struct pt_regs *regs, int cpu)
+        {
+                return 0;
+        }
+
+The dummy_nmi_callback() function is a "dummy" NMI handler that does
+nothing, but returns zero, thus saying that it did nothing, allowing
+the NMI handler to take the default machine-specific action.
+
+        static nmi_callback_t nmi_callback = dummy_nmi_callback;
+
+This nmi_callback variable is a global function pointer to the current
+NMI handler.
+
+        fastcall void do_nmi(struct pt_regs * regs, long error_code)
+        {
+                int cpu;
+
+                nmi_enter();
+
+                cpu = smp_processor_id();
+                ++nmi_count(cpu);
+
+                if (!rcu_dereference(nmi_callback)(regs, cpu))
+                        default_do_nmi(regs);
+
+                nmi_exit();
+        }
+
+The do_nmi() function processes each NMI.  It first disables preemption
+in the same way that a hardware irq would, then increments the per-CPU
+count of NMIs.  It then invokes the NMI handler stored in the nmi_callback
+function pointer.  If this handler returns zero, do_nmi() invokes the
+default_do_nmi() function to handle a machine-specific NMI.  Finally,
+preemption is restored.
+
+Strictly speaking, rcu_dereference() is not needed, since this code runs
+only on i386, which does not need rcu_dereference() anyway.  However,
+it is a good documentation aid, particularly for anyone attempting to
+do something similar on Alpha.
+
+Quick Quiz:  Why might the rcu_dereference() be necessary on Alpha,
+             given that the code referenced by the pointer is read-only?
+
+
+Back to the discussion of NMI and RCU...
+
+        void set_nmi_callback(nmi_callback_t callback)
+        {
+                rcu_assign_pointer(nmi_callback, callback);
+        }
+
+The set_nmi_callback() function registers an NMI handler.  Note that any
+data that is to be used by the callback must be initialized up -before-
+the call to set_nmi_callback().  On architectures that do not order
+writes, the rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the NMI handler sees the
+initialized values.
+
+        void unset_nmi_callback(void)
+        {
+                rcu_assign_pointer(nmi_callback, dummy_nmi_callback);
+        }
+
+This function unregisters an NMI handler, restoring the original
+dummy_nmi_handler().  However, there may well be an NMI handler
+currently executing on some other CPU.  We therefore cannot free
+up any data structures used by the old NMI handler until execution
+of it completes on all other CPUs.
+
+One way to accomplish this is via synchronize_sched(), perhaps as
+follows:
+
+        unset_nmi_callback();
+        synchronize_sched();
+        kfree(my_nmi_data);
+
+This works because synchronize_sched() blocks until all CPUs complete
+any preemption-disabled segments of code that they were executing.
+Since NMI handlers disable preemption, synchronize_sched() is guaranteed
+not to return until all ongoing NMI handlers exit.  It is therefore safe
+to free up the handler's data as soon as synchronize_sched() returns.
+
+
+Answer to Quick Quiz
+
+        Why might the rcu_dereference() be necessary on Alpha, given
+        that the code referenced by the pointer is read-only?
+
+        Answer: The caller to set_nmi_callback() might well have
+                initialized some data that is to be used by the
+                new NMI handler.  In this case, the rcu_dereference()
+                would be needed, because otherwise a CPU that received
+                an NMI just after the new handler was set might see
+                the pointer to the new NMI handler, but the old
+                pre-initialized version of the handler's data.
+
+                More important, the rcu_dereference() makes it clear
+                to someone reading the code that the pointer is being
+                protected by RCU.

+Overview
+
+The Dell Systems Management Base Driver provides a sysfs interface for
+systems management software such as Dell OpenManage to perform system
+management interrupts and host control actions (system power cycle or
+power off after OS shutdown) on certain Dell systems.
+
+Dell OpenManage requires this driver on the following Dell PowerEdge systems:
+300, 1300, 1400, 400SC, 500SC, 1500SC, 1550, 600SC, 1600SC, 650, 1655MC,
+700, and 750.  Other Dell software such as the open source libsmbios project
+is expected to make use of this driver, and it may include the use of this
+driver on other Dell systems.
+
+The Dell libsmbios project aims towards providing access to as much BIOS
+information as possible.  See http://linux.dell.com/libsmbios/main/ for
+more information about the libsmbios project.
+
+
+System Management Interrupt
+
+On some Dell systems, systems management software must access certain
+management information via a system management interrupt (SMI).  The SMI data
+buffer must reside in 32-bit address space, and the physical address of the
+buffer is required for the SMI.  The driver maintains the memory required for
+the SMI and provides a way for the application to generate the SMI.
+The driver creates the following sysfs entries for systems management
+software to perform these system management interrupts:
+
+/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_data
+/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_data_buf_phys_addr
+/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_data_buf_size
+/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_request
+
+Systems management software must perform the following steps to execute
+a SMI using this driver:
+
+1) Lock smi_data.
+2) Write system management command to smi_data.
+3) Write "1" to smi_request to generate a calling interface SMI or
+   "2" to generate a raw SMI.
+4) Read system management command response from smi_data.
+5) Unlock smi_data.
+
+
+Host Control Action
+
+Dell OpenManage supports a host control feature that allows the administrator
+to perform a power cycle or power off of the system after the OS has finished
+shutting down.  On some Dell systems, this host control feature requires that
+a driver perform a SMI after the OS has finished shutting down.
+
+The driver creates the following sysfs entries for systems management software
+to schedule the driver to perform a power cycle or power off host control
+action after the system has finished shutting down:
+
+/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/host_control_action
+/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/host_control_smi_type
+/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/host_control_on_shutdown
+
+Dell OpenManage performs the following steps to execute a power cycle or
+power off host control action using this driver:
+
+1) Write host control action to be performed to host_control_action.
+2) Write type of SMI that driver needs to perform to host_control_smi_type.
+3) Write "1" to host_control_on_shutdown to enable host control action.
+4) Initiate OS shutdown.
+   (Driver will perform host control SMI when it is notified that the OS
+   has finished shutting down.)
+
+
+Host Control SMI Type
+
+The following table shows the value to write to host_control_smi_type to
+perform a power cycle or power off host control action:

+Purpose:
+Demonstrate the usage of the new open sourced rbu (Remote BIOS Update) driver
+for updating BIOS images on Dell servers and desktops.
+
+Scope:
+This document discusses the functionality of the rbu driver only.
+It does not cover the support needed from aplications to enable the BIOS to
+update itself with the image downloaded in to the memory.
+
+Overview:
+This driver works with Dell OpenManage or Dell Update Packages for updating
+the BIOS on Dell servers (starting from servers sold since 1999), desktops
+and notebooks (starting from those sold in 2005).
+Please go to  http://support.dell.com register and you can find info on
+OpenManage and Dell Update packages (DUP).
+
+Dell_RBU driver supports BIOS update using the monilothic image and packetized
+image methods. In case of moniolithic the driver allocates a contiguous chunk
+of physical pages having the BIOS image. In case of packetized the app
+using the driver breaks the image in to packets of fixed sizes and the driver
+would place each packet in contiguous physical memory. The driver also
+maintains a link list of packets for reading them back.
+If the dell_rbu driver is unloaded all the allocated memory is freed.
+
+The rbu driver needs to have an application which will inform the BIOS to
+enable the update in the next system reboot.
+
+The user should not unload the rbu driver after downloading the BIOS image
+or updating.
+
+The driver load creates the following directories under the /sys file system.
+/sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
+/sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data
+/sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type
+/sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/data
+
+The driver supports two types of update mechanism; monolithic and packetized.
+These update mechanism depends upon the BIOS currently running on the system.
+Most of the Dell systems support a monolithic update where the BIOS image is
+copied to a single contiguous block of physical memory.
+In case of packet mechanism the single memory can be broken in smaller chuks
+of contiguous memory and the BIOS image is scattered in these packets.
+
+By default the driver uses monolithic memory for the update type. This can be
+changed to contiguous during the driver load time by specifying the load
+parameter image_type=packet.  This can also be changed later as below
+echo packet > /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type
+
+Do the steps below to download the BIOS image.
+1) echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
+2) cp bios_image.hdr /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data
+3) echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
+
+The /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/ entries will remain till the following is
+done.
+echo -1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
+
+Until this step is completed the drivr cannot be unloaded.
+
+Also the driver provides /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/data readonly file to
+read back the image downloaded. This is useful in case of packet update
+mechanism where the above steps 1,2,3 will repeated for every packet.
+By reading the /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/data file all packet data
+downloaded can be verified in a single file.
+The packets are arranged in this file one after the other in a FIFO order.
+
+NOTE:
+This driver requires a patch for firmware_class.c which has the addition
+of request_firmware_nowait_nohotplug function to wortk
+Also after updating the BIOS image an user mdoe application neeeds to execute
+code which message the BIOS update request to the BIOS. So on the next reboot
+the BIOS knows about the new image downloaded and it updates it self.
+Also don't unload the rbu drive if the image has to be updated.

+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 stucture 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 separate
+helper though, described below.
+
+klog, relay-app & librelay
+==========================
+
+relayfs itself is ready to use, but to make things easier, two
+additional systems are provided.  klog is a simple wrapper to make
+writing formatted text or raw data to a channel simpler, 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.  relay-app is
+the kernel counterpart of userspace librelay.c, combined these two
+files provide glue to easily stream data to disk, without having to
+bother with housekeeping.  klog and relay-app can be used together,
+with klog providing high-level logging functions to the kernel and
+relay-app taking care of kernel-user control and disk-logging chores.
+
+It is possible to use relayfs without relay-app & librelay, 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 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)
+
+  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)
+
+  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.
+
+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.

+  0x4a and 0x4b.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the Winbond W83792AD/D.
+
+Detection of the chip can sometimes be foiled because it can be in an
+internal state that allows no clean access (Bank with ID register is not
+currently selected). If you know the address of the chip, use a 'force'
+parameter; this will put it into a more well-behaved state first.
+
+The driver implements three temperature sensors, seven fan rotation speed
+sensors, nine voltage sensors, and two automatic fan regulation
+strategies called: Smart Fan I (Thermal Cruise mode) and Smart Fan II.
+Automatic fan control mode is possible only for fan1-fan3. Fan4-fan7 can run
+synchronized with selected fan (fan1-fan3). This functionality and manual PWM
+control for fan4-fan7 is not yet implemented.
+
+Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is 1
+degC for temp1 and 0.5 degC for temp2 and temp3. An alarm is triggered when
+the temperature gets higher than the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays
+on until the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value.
+
+Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
+triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
+readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or
+128) to give the readings more range or accuracy.
+
+Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts.
+An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
+or maximum limit.
+
+Alarms are provided as output from "realtime status register". Following bits
+are defined:
+
+bit - alarm on:
+0  - in0
+1  - in1
+2  - temp1
+3  - temp2
+4  - temp3
+5  - fan1
+6  - fan2
+7  - fan3
+8  - in2
+9  - in3
+10 - in4
+11 - in5
+12 - in6
+13 - VID change
+14 - chassis
+15 - fan7
+16 - tart1
+17 - tart2
+18 - tart3
+19 - in7
+20 - in8
+21 - fan4
+22 - fan5
+23 - fan6
+
+Tart will be asserted while target temperature cannot be achieved after 3 minutes
+of full speed rotation of corresponding fan.
+
+In addition to the alarms described above, there is a CHAS alarm on the chips
+which triggers if your computer case is open (This one is latched, contrary
+to realtime alarms).
+
+The chips only update values each 3 seconds; reading them more often will
+do no harm, but will return 'old' values.

+
+W83792D PROBLEMS
+----------------
+Known problems:
+        - This driver is only for Winbond W83792D C version device, there
+          are also some motherboards with B version W83792D device. The
+          calculation method to in6-in7(measured value, limits) is a little
+          different between C and B version. C or B version can be identified
+          by CR[0x49h].
+        - The function of vid and vrm has not been finished, because I'm NOT
+          very familiar with them. Adding support is welcome.
+        - The function of chassis open detection needs more tests.
+        - If you have ASUS server board and chip was not found: Then you will
+          need to upgrade to latest (or beta) BIOS. If it does not help please
+          contact us.
+
+Fan control
+-----------
+
+Manual mode
+-----------
+
+Works as expected. You just need to specify desired PWM/DC value (fan speed)
+in appropriate pwm# file.
+
+Thermal cruise
+--------------
+
+In this mode, W83792D provides the Smart Fan system to automatically control
+fan speed to keep the temperatures of CPU and the system within specific
+range. At first a wanted temperature and interval must be set. This is done
+via thermal_cruise# file. The tolerance# file serves to create T +- tolerance
+interval. The fan speed will be lowered as long as the current temperature
+remains below the thermal_cruise# +- tolerance# value. Once the temperature
+exceeds the high limit (T+tolerance), the fan will be turned on with a
+specific speed set by pwm# and automatically controlled its PWM duty cycle
+with the temperature varying. Three conditions may occur:
+
+(1) If the temperature still exceeds the high limit, PWM duty
+cycle will increase slowly.
+
+(2) If the temperature goes below the high limit, but still above the low
+limit (T-tolerance), the fan speed will be fixed at the current speed because
+the temperature is in the target range.
+
+(3) If the temperature goes below the low limit, PWM duty cycle will decrease
+slowly to 0 or a preset stop value until the temperature exceeds the low
+limit. (The preset stop value handling is not yet implemented in driver)
+
+Smart Fan II
+------------
+
+W83792D also provides a special mode for fan. Four temperature points are
+available. When related temperature sensors detects the temperature in preset
+temperature region (sf2_point@_fan# +- tolerance#) it will cause fans to run
+on programmed value from sf2_level@_fan#. You need to set four temperatures
+for each fan.

 General Remarks
 ---------------
 
-A typical application will require that the EEPROMs be programmed once and
-never altered afterwards.
+Valid addresses for the MAX6875 are 0x50 and 0x52.
+Valid addresses for the MAX6874 are 0x50, 0x52, 0x54 and 0x56.
+The driver does not probe any address, so you must force the address.
+
+Example:
+$ modprobe max6875 force=0,0x50
+
+The MAX6874/MAX6875 ignores address bit 0, so this driver attaches to multiple
+addresses.  For example, for address 0x50, it also reserves 0x51.
+The even-address instance is called 'max6875', the odd one is 'max6875 subclient'.
+
+
+Programming the chip using i2c-dev
+----------------------------------
+
+Use the i2c-dev interface to access and program the chips.
+Reads and writes are performed differently depending on the address range.
+
+The configuration registers are at addresses 0x00 - 0x45.
+Use i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() to write a register and
+i2c_smbus_read_byte_data() to read a register.
+The command is the register number.
+
+Examples:
+To write a 1 to register 0x45:
+  i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(fd, 0x45, 1);
+
+To read register 0x45:
+  value = i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(fd, 0x45);
+
+
+The configuration EEPROM is at addresses 0x8000 - 0x8045.
+The user EEPROM is at addresses 0x8100 - 0x82ff.
+
+Use i2c_smbus_write_word_data() to write a byte to EEPROM.
+
+The command is the upper byte of the address: 0x80, 0x81, or 0x82.
+The data word is the lower part of the address or'd with data << 8.
+  cmd = address >> 8;
+  val = (address & 0xff) | (data << 8);
+
+Example:
+To write 0x5a to address 0x8003:
+  i2c_smbus_write_word_data(fd, 0x80, 0x5a03);
+
+
+Reading data from the EEPROM is a little more complicated.
+Use i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() to set the read address and then
+i2c_smbus_read_byte() or i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() to read the data.
+
+Example:
+To read data starting at offset 0x8100, first set the address:
+  i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(fd, 0x81, 0x00);
+
+And then read the data
+  value = i2c_smbus_read_byte(fd);
+
+  or
+
+  count = i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(fd, 0x84, buffer);
+
+The block read should read 16 bytes.
+0x84 is the block read command.
+
+See the datasheet for more details.

-Probing classes (sensors)
--------------------------
-
-If you write a `sensors' driver, you use a slightly different interface.
-As well as I2C addresses, we have to cope with ISA addresses. Also, we
-use a enum of chip types. Don't forget to include `sensors.h'.
-
-The following lists are used internally. They are all lists of integers.
-
-   normal_i2c: filled in by the module writer. Terminated by SENSORS_I2C_END.
-     A list of I2C addresses which should normally be examined.
-   normal_isa: filled in by the module writer. Terminated by SENSORS_ISA_END.
-     A list of ISA addresses which should normally be examined.
-   probe: insmod parameter. Initialize this list with SENSORS_I2C_END values.
-     A list of pairs. The first value is a bus number (SENSORS_ISA_BUS for
-     the ISA bus, -1 for any I2C bus), the second is the address. These
-     addresses are also probed, as if they were in the 'normal' list.
-   ignore: insmod parameter. Initialize this list with SENSORS_I2C_END values.
-     A list of pairs. The first value is a bus number (SENSORS_ISA_BUS for
-     the ISA bus, -1 for any I2C bus), the second is the I2C address. These
-     addresses are never probed. This parameter overrules 'normal' and 
-     'probe', but not the 'force' lists.
-
-Also used is a list of pointers to sensors_force_data structures:
-   force_data: insmod parameters. A list, ending with an element of which
-     the force field is NULL.
-     Each element contains the type of chip and a list of pairs.
-     The first value is a bus number (SENSORS_ISA_BUS for the ISA bus, 
-     -1 for any I2C bus), the second is the address. 
-     These are automatically translated to insmod variables of the form
-     force_foo.
-
-So we have a generic insmod variabled `force', and chip-specific variables
-`force_CHIPNAME'.
-
-Fortunately, as a module writer, you just have to define the `normal_i2c' 
-and `normal_isa' parameters, and define what chip names are used. 
-The complete declaration could look like this:
-  /* Scan i2c addresses 0x37, and 0x48 to 0x4f */
-  static unsigned short normal_i2c[] = { 0x37, 0x48, 0x49, 0x4a, 0x4b, 0x4c,
-                                         0x4d, 0x4e, 0x4f, I2C_CLIENT_END };

-
-  /* Define chips foo and bar, as well as all module parameters and things */
-  SENSORS_INSMOD_2(foo,bar);

-If you have one chip, you use macro SENSORS_INSMOD_1(chip), if you have 2

+Author: Andreas Steinmetz <ast@domdv.de>
+
+
+How to use dm-crypt and swsusp together:
+========================================
+
+Some prerequisites:
+You know how dm-crypt works. If not, visit the following web page:
+http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/
+You have read Documentation/power/swsusp.txt and understand it.
+You did read Documentation/initrd.txt and know how an initrd works.
+You know how to create or how to modify an initrd.
+
+Now your system is properly set up, your disk is encrypted except for
+the swap device(s) and the boot partition which may contain a mini
+system for crypto setup and/or rescue purposes. You may even have
+an initrd that does your current crypto setup already.
+
+At this point you want to encrypt your swap, too. Still you want to
+be able to suspend using swsusp. This, however, means that you
+have to be able to either enter a passphrase or that you read
+the key(s) from an external device like a pcmcia flash disk
+or an usb stick prior to resume. So you need an initrd, that sets
+up dm-crypt and then asks swsusp to resume from the encrypted
+swap device.
+
+The most important thing is that you set up dm-crypt in such
+a way that the swap device you suspend to/resume from has
+always the same major/minor within the initrd as well as
+within your running system. The easiest way to achieve this is
+to always set up this swap device first with dmsetup, so that
+it will always look like the following:
+
+brw-------  1 root root 254, 0 Jul 28 13:37 /dev/mapper/swap0
+
+Now set up your kernel to use /dev/mapper/swap0 as the default
+resume partition, so your kernel .config contains:
+
+CONFIG_PM_STD_PARTITION="/dev/mapper/swap0"
+
+Prepare your boot loader to use the initrd you will create or
+modify. For lilo the simplest setup looks like the following
+lines:
+
+image=/boot/vmlinuz
+initrd=/boot/initrd.gz
+label=linux
+append="root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc rw"
+
+Finally you need to create or modify your initrd. Lets assume
+you create an initrd that reads the required dm-crypt setup
+from a pcmcia flash disk card. The card is formatted with an ext2
+fs which resides on /dev/hde1 when the card is inserted. The
+card contains at least the encrypted swap setup in a file
+named "swapkey". /etc/fstab of your initrd contains something
+like the following:
+
+/dev/hda1   /mnt    ext3      ro                            0 0
+none        /proc   proc      defaults,noatime,nodiratime   0 0
+none        /sys    sysfs     defaults,noatime,nodiratime   0 0
+
+/dev/hda1 contains an unencrypted mini system that sets up all
+of your crypto devices, again by reading the setup from the
+pcmcia flash disk. What follows now is a /linuxrc for your
+initrd that allows you to resume from encrypted swap and that
+continues boot with your mini system on /dev/hda1 if resume
+does not happen:
+
+#!/bin/sh
+PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
+mount /proc
+mount /sys
+mapped=0
+noresume=`grep -c noresume /proc/cmdline`
+if [ "$*" != "" ]
+then
+  noresume=1
+fi
+dmesg -n 1
+/sbin/cardmgr -q
+for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
+do
+  if [ -f /proc/ide/hde/media ]
+  then
+    usleep 500000
+    mount -t ext2 -o ro /dev/hde1 /mnt
+    if [ -f /mnt/swapkey ]
+    then
+      dmsetup create swap0 /mnt/swapkey > /dev/null 2>&1 && mapped=1
+    fi
+    umount /mnt
+    break
+  fi
+  usleep 500000
+done
+killproc /sbin/cardmgr
+dmesg -n 6
+if [ $mapped = 1 ]
+then
+  if [ $noresume != 0 ]
+  then
+    mkswap /dev/mapper/swap0 > /dev/null 2>&1
+  fi
+  echo 254:0 > /sys/power/resume
+  dmsetup remove swap0
+fi
+umount /sys
+mount /mnt
+umount /proc
+cd /mnt
+pivot_root . mnt
+mount /proc
+umount -l /mnt
+umount /proc
+exec chroot . /sbin/init $* < dev/console > dev/console 2>&1
+
+Please don't mind the weird loop above, busybox's msh doesn't know
+the let statement. Now, what is happening in the script?
+First we have to decide if we want to try to resume, or not.
+We will not resume if booting with "noresume" or any parameters
+for init like "single" or "emergency" as boot parameters.
+
+Then we need to set up dmcrypt with the setup data from the
+pcmcia flash disk. If this succeeds we need to reset the swap
+device if we don't want to resume. The line "echo 254:0 > /sys/power/resume"
+then attempts to resume from the first device mapper device.
+Note that it is important to set the device in /sys/power/resume,
+regardless if resuming or not, otherwise later suspend will fail.
+If resume starts, script execution terminates here.
+
+Otherwise we just remove the encrypted swap device and leave it to the
+mini system on /dev/hda1 to set the whole crypto up (it is up to
+you to modify this to your taste).
+
+What then follows is the well known process to change the root
+file system and continue booting from there. I prefer to unmount
+the initrd prior to continue booting but it is up to you to modify
+this.

 system is shut down or suspended. Additionally use the encrypted
 suspend image to prevent sensitive data from being stolen after

+
+Q: Why can't we suspend to a swap file?
+
+A: Because accessing swap file needs the filesystem mounted, and
+filesystem might do something wrong (like replaying the journal)
+during mount.
+
+There are few ways to get that fixed:
+
+1) Probably could be solved by modifying every filesystem to support
+some kind of "really read-only!" option. Patches welcome.
+
+2) suspend2 gets around that by storing absolute positions in on-disk

+
+Q: Is there a maximum system RAM size that is supported by swsusp?
+
+A: It should work okay with highmem.
+
+Q: Does swsusp (to disk) use only one swap partition or can it use
+multiple swap partitions (aggregate them into one logical space)?
+
+A: Only one swap partition, sorry.
+
+Q: If my application(s) causes lots of memory & swap space to be used
+(over half of the total system RAM), is it correct that it is likely
+to be useless to try to suspend to disk while that app is running?
+
+A: No, it should work okay, as long as your app does not mlock()
+it. Just prepare big enough swap partition.
+
+Q: What information is usefull for debugging suspend-to-disk problems?
+
+A: Well, last messages on the screen are always useful. If something
+is broken, it is usually some kernel driver, therefore trying with as
+little as possible modules loaded helps a lot. I also prefer people to
+suspend from console, preferably without X running. Booting with
+init=/bin/bash, then swapon and starting suspend sequence manually
+usually does the trick. Then it is good idea to try with latest
+vanilla kernel.

 The "swap_list" is used for the round-robin swaphandle allocation strategy.
 The #free swaphandles is maintained in "nr_swap_pages". These two together

+are protected by the swap_lock.
 
-The swap_device_lock, which is per swap device, protects the reference 
-counts on the corresponding swaphandles, maintained in the "swap_map"
-array, and the "highest_bit" and "lowest_bit" fields.
+The swap_lock also protects all the device reference counts on the

+        GETSUPPORT returns the watchdog_info struct, and
+        GETSTATUS returns the supported options. GETBOOTSTATUS
+        returns a 1 if the last reset was caused by the
+        watchdog and a 0 otherwise. This watchdog can not be
+        disabled once it has been started. The wdt_period kernel
+        parameter selects which bit of the time base changing
+        from 0->1 will trigger the watchdog exception. Changing
+        the timeout from the ioctl calls will change the
