7 As a Kconfig option, individual GPIO signals may be accessed from
8 userspace. GPIOs are only made available to userspace by an explicit
9 "export" operation. If a given GPIO is not claimed for use by
10 kernel code, it may be exported by userspace (and unexported later).
11 Kernel code may export it for complete or partial access.
12
13 GPIOs are identified as they are inside the kernel, using integers in
14 the range 0..INT_MAX. See Documentation/gpio.txt for more information.

6However, if you want to install a dummy policy for
7testing, you can do using 'mdp' provided under
8scripts/selinux. Note that this requires the selinux
9userspace to be installed - in particular you will
10need checkpolicy to compile a kernel, and setfiles and
11fixfiles to label the filesystem.
12
13 1. Compile the kernel with selinux enabled.
14 2. Type 'make' to compile mdp.
15 3. Make sure that you are not running with
16 SELinux enabled and a real policy. If
17 you are, reboot with selinux disabled
18 before continuing.
19 4. Run install_policy.sh:
20 cd scripts/selinux
21 sh install_policy.sh
22
23Step 4 will create a new dummy policy valid for your
24kernel, with a single selinux user, role, and type.
25It will compile the policy, will set your SELINUXTYPE to
26dummy in /etc/selinux/config, install the compiled policy
27as 'dummy', and relabel your filesystem.

7This KGDB patch enables the kernel developer to do source level debugging on
8the kernel for the Blackfin architecture. The debugging works over either the
9ethernet interface or one of the uarts. Both software breakpoints and
10hardware breakpoints are supported in this version.
11http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=kgdb
12
13
142 known issues:
151. This bug:
16 http://blackfin.uclinux.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=544&group_id=18&atid=145
17 The GDB client for Blackfin uClinux causes incorrect values of local
18 variables to be displayed when the user breaks the running of kernel in GDB.
192. Because of a hardware bug in Blackfin 533 v1.0.3:
20 05000067 - Watchpoints (Hardware Breakpoints) are not supported
21 Hardware breakpoints cannot be set properly.
22
23
24Debug over Ethernet:
25
261. Compile and install the cross platform version of gdb for blackfin, which
27 can be found at $(BINROOT)/bfin-elf-gdb.
28
292. Apply this patch to the 2.6.x kernel. Select the menuconfig option under
30 "Kernel hacking" -> "Kernel debugging" -> "KGDB: kernel debug with remote gdb".
31 With this selected, option "Full Symbolic/Source Debugging support" and
32 "Compile the kernel with frame pointers" are also selected.
33
343. Select option "KGDB: connect over (Ethernet)". Add "kgdboe=@target-IP/,@host-IP/" to
35 the option "Compiled-in Kernel Boot Parameter" under "Kernel hacking".
36
374. Connect minicom to the serial port and boot the kernel image.
38
395. Configure the IP "/> ifconfig eth0 target-IP"
40
416. Start GDB client "bfin-elf-gdb vmlinux".
42
437. Connect to the target "(gdb) target remote udp:target-IP:6443".
44
458. Set software breakpoint "(gdb) break sys_open".
46
479. Continue "(gdb) c".
48
4910. Run ls in the target console "/> ls".
50
5111. Breakpoint hits. "Breakpoint 1: sys_open(..."
52
5312. Display local variables and function paramters.
54 (*) This operation gives wrong results, see known issue 1.
55
5613. Single stepping "(gdb) si".
57
5814. Remove breakpoint 1. "(gdb) del 1"
59
6015. Set hardware breakpoint "(gdb) hbreak sys_open".
61
6216. Continue "(gdb) c".
63
6417. Run ls in the target console "/> ls".
65
6618. Hardware breakpoint hits. "Breakpoint 1: sys_open(...".
67 (*) This hardware breakpoint will not be hit, see known issue 2.
68
6919. Continue "(gdb) c".
70
7120. Interrupt the target in GDB "Ctrl+C".
72
7321. Detach from the target "(gdb) detach".
74
7522. Exit GDB "(gdb) quit".
76
77
78Debug over the UART:
79
801. Compile and install the cross platform version of gdb for blackfin, which
81 can be found at $(BINROOT)/bfin-elf-gdb.
82
832. Apply this patch to the 2.6.x kernel. Select the menuconfig option under
84 "Kernel hacking" -> "Kernel debugging" -> "KGDB: kernel debug with remote gdb".
85 With this selected, option "Full Symbolic/Source Debugging support" and
86 "Compile the kernel with frame pointers" are also selected.
87
883. Select option "KGDB: connect over (UART)". Set "KGDB: UART port number" to be
89 a different one from the console. Don't forget to change the mode of
90 blackfin serial driver to PIO. Otherwise kgdb works incorrectly on UART.
91
924. If you want connect to kgdb when the kernel boots, enable
93 "KGDB: Wait for gdb connection early"
94
955. Compile kernel.
96
976. Connect minicom to the serial port of the console and boot the kernel image.
98
997. Start GDB client "bfin-elf-gdb vmlinux".
100
1018. Set the baud rate in GDB "(gdb) set remotebaud 57600".
102
1039. Connect to the target on the second serial port "(gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS1".
104
10510. Set software breakpoint "(gdb) break sys_open".
106
10711. Continue "(gdb) c".
108
10912. Run ls in the target console "/> ls".
110
11113. A breakpoint is hit. "Breakpoint 1: sys_open(..."
112
11314. All other operations are the same as that in KGDB over Ethernet.
114
115
116Debug over the same UART as console:
117
1181. Compile and install the cross platform version of gdb for blackfin, which
119 can be found at $(BINROOT)/bfin-elf-gdb.
120
1212. Apply this patch to the 2.6.x kernel. Select the menuconfig option under
122 "Kernel hacking" -> "Kernel debugging" -> "KGDB: kernel debug with remote gdb".
123 With this selected, option "Full Symbolic/Source Debugging support" and
124 "Compile the kernel with frame pointers" are also selected.
125
1263. Select option "KGDB: connect over UART". Set "KGDB: UART port number" to console.
127 Don't forget to change the mode of blackfin serial driver to PIO.
128 Otherwise kgdb works incorrectly on UART.
129
1304. If you want connect to kgdb when the kernel boots, enable
131 "KGDB: Wait for gdb connection early"
132
1335. Connect minicom to the serial port and boot the kernel image.
134
1356. (Optional) Ask target to wait for gdb connection by entering Ctrl+A. In minicom, you should enter Ctrl+A+A.
136
1377. Start GDB client "bfin-elf-gdb vmlinux".
138
1398. Set the baud rate in GDB "(gdb) set remotebaud 57600".
140
1419. Connect to the target "(gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS0".
142
14310. Set software breakpoint "(gdb) break sys_open".
144
14511. Continue "(gdb) c". Then enter Ctrl+C twice to stop GDB connection.
146
14712. Run ls in the target console "/> ls". Dummy string can be seen on the console.
148
14913. Then connect the gdb to target again. "(gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS0".
150 Now you will find a breakpoint is hit. "Breakpoint 1: sys_open(..."
151
15214. All other operations are the same as that in KGDB over Ethernet. The only
153 difference is that after continue command in GDB, please stop GDB
154 connection by 2 "Ctrl+C"s and connect again after breakpoints are hit or
155 Ctrl+A is entered.

11Why: The old regulatory infrastructure has been replaced with a new one
12 which does not require statically defined regulatory domains. We do
13 not want to keep static regulatory domains in the kernel due to the
14 the dynamic nature of regulatory law and localization. We kept around

16 * US
17 * JP
18 * EU
19 and used by default the US when CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY was
20 set. We also kept around the ieee80211_regdom module parameter in case
21 some applications were relying on it. Changing regulatory domains

1============
2Fiemap Ioctl
3============
4
5The fiemap ioctl is an efficient method for userspace to get file
6extent mappings. Instead of block-by-block mapping (such as bmap), fiemap
7returns a list of extents.
8
9
10Request Basics
11--------------
12
13A fiemap request is encoded within struct fiemap:
14
15struct fiemap {
16 __u64 fm_start; /* logical offset (inclusive) at
17 * which to start mapping (in) */
18 __u64 fm_length; /* logical length of mapping which
19 * userspace cares about (in) */
20 __u32 fm_flags; /* FIEMAP_FLAG_* flags for request (in/out) */
21 __u32 fm_mapped_extents; /* number of extents that were
22 * mapped (out) */
23 __u32 fm_extent_count; /* size of fm_extents array (in) */
24 __u32 fm_reserved;
25 struct fiemap_extent fm_extents[0]; /* array of mapped extents (out) */
26};
27
28
29fm_start, and fm_length specify the logical range within the file
30which the process would like mappings for. Extents returned mirror
31those on disk - that is, the logical offset of the 1st returned extent
32may start before fm_start, and the range covered by the last returned
33extent may end after fm_length. All offsets and lengths are in bytes.
34
35Certain flags to modify the way in which mappings are looked up can be
36set in fm_flags. If the kernel doesn't understand some particular
37flags, it will return EBADR and the contents of fm_flags will contain
38the set of flags which caused the error. If the kernel is compatible
39with all flags passed, the contents of fm_flags will be unmodified.
40It is up to userspace to determine whether rejection of a particular
41flag is fatal to it's operation. This scheme is intended to allow the
42fiemap interface to grow in the future but without losing
43compatibility with old software.
44
45fm_extent_count specifies the number of elements in the fm_extents[] array
46that can be used to return extents. If fm_extent_count is zero, then the
47fm_extents[] array is ignored (no extents will be returned), and the
48fm_mapped_extents count will hold the number of extents needed in
49fm_extents[] to hold the file's current mapping. Note that there is
50nothing to prevent the file from changing between calls to FIEMAP.
51
52The following flags can be set in fm_flags:
53
54* FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC
55If this flag is set, the kernel will sync the file before mapping extents.
56
57* FIEMAP_FLAG_XATTR
58If this flag is set, the extents returned will describe the inodes
59extended attribute lookup tree, instead of it's data tree.
60
61
62Extent Mapping
63--------------
64
65Extent information is returned within the embedded fm_extents array
66which userspace must allocate along with the fiemap structure. The
67number of elements in the fiemap_extents[] array should be passed via
68fm_extent_count. The number of extents mapped by kernel will be
69returned via fm_mapped_extents. If the number of fiemap_extents
70allocated is less than would be required to map the requested range,
71the maximum number of extents that can be mapped in the fm_extent[]
72array will be returned and fm_mapped_extents will be equal to
73fm_extent_count. In that case, the last extent in the array will not
74complete the requested range and will not have the FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST
75flag set (see the next section on extent flags).
76
77Each extent is described by a single fiemap_extent structure as
78returned in fm_extents.
79
80struct fiemap_extent {
81 __u64 fe_logical; /* logical offset in bytes for the start of
82 * the extent */
83 __u64 fe_physical; /* physical offset in bytes for the start
84 * of the extent */
85 __u64 fe_length; /* length in bytes for the extent */
86 __u64 fe_reserved64[2];
87 __u32 fe_flags; /* FIEMAP_EXTENT_* flags for this extent */
88 __u32 fe_reserved[3];
89};
90
91All offsets and lengths are in bytes and mirror those on disk. It is valid
92for an extents logical offset to start before the request or it's logical
93length to extend past the request. Unless FIEMAP_EXTENT_NOT_ALIGNED is
94returned, fe_logical, fe_physical, and fe_length will be aligned to the
95block size of the file system. With the exception of extents flagged as
96FIEMAP_EXTENT_MERGED, adjacent extents will not be merged.
97
98The fe_flags field contains flags which describe the extent returned.
99A special flag, FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST is always set on the last extent in
100the file so that the process making fiemap calls can determine when no
101more extents are available, without having to call the ioctl again.
102
103Some flags are intentionally vague and will always be set in the
104presence of other more specific flags. This way a program looking for
105a general property does not have to know all existing and future flags
106which imply that property.
107
108For example, if FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_INLINE or FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_TAIL
109are set, FIEMAP_EXTENT_NOT_ALIGNED will also be set. A program looking
110for inline or tail-packed data can key on the specific flag. Software
111which simply cares not to try operating on non-aligned extents
112however, can just key on FIEMAP_EXTENT_NOT_ALIGNED, and not have to
113worry about all present and future flags which might imply unaligned
114data. Note that the opposite is not true - it would be valid for
115FIEMAP_EXTENT_NOT_ALIGNED to appear alone.
116
117* FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST
118This is the last extent in the file. A mapping attempt past this
119extent will return nothing.
120
121* FIEMAP_EXTENT_UNKNOWN
122The location of this extent is currently unknown. This may indicate
123the data is stored on an inaccessible volume or that no storage has
124been allocated for the file yet.
125
126* FIEMAP_EXTENT_DELALLOC
127 - This will also set FIEMAP_EXTENT_UNKNOWN.
128Delayed allocation - while there is data for this extent, it's
129physical location has not been allocated yet.
130
131* FIEMAP_EXTENT_ENCODED
132This extent does not consist of plain filesystem blocks but is
133encoded (e.g. encrypted or compressed). Reading the data in this
134extent via I/O to the block device will have undefined results.
135
136Note that it is *always* undefined to try to update the data
137in-place by writing to the indicated location without the
138assistance of the filesystem, or to access the data using the
139information returned by the FIEMAP interface while the filesystem
140is mounted. In other words, user applications may only read the
141extent data via I/O to the block device while the filesystem is
142unmounted, and then only if the FIEMAP_EXTENT_ENCODED flag is
143clear; user applications must not try reading or writing to the
144filesystem via the block device under any other circumstances.
145
146* FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_ENCRYPTED
147 - This will also set FIEMAP_EXTENT_ENCODED
148The data in this extent has been encrypted by the file system.
149
150* FIEMAP_EXTENT_NOT_ALIGNED
151Extent offsets and length are not guaranteed to be block aligned.
152
153* FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_INLINE
154 This will also set FIEMAP_EXTENT_NOT_ALIGNED
155Data is located within a meta data block.
156
157* FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_TAIL
158 This will also set FIEMAP_EXTENT_NOT_ALIGNED
159Data is packed into a block with data from other files.
160
161* FIEMAP_EXTENT_UNWRITTEN
162Unwritten extent - the extent is allocated but it's data has not been
163initialized. This indicates the extent's data will be all zero if read
164through the filesystem but the contents are undefined if read directly from
165the device.
166
167* FIEMAP_EXTENT_MERGED
168This will be set when a file does not support extents, i.e., it uses a block
169based addressing scheme. Since returning an extent for each block back to
170userspace would be highly inefficient, the kernel will try to merge most
171adjacent blocks into 'extents'.
172
173
174VFS -> File System Implementation
175---------------------------------
176
177File systems wishing to support fiemap must implement a ->fiemap callback on
178their inode_operations structure. The fs ->fiemap call is responsible for
179defining it's set of supported fiemap flags, and calling a helper function on
180each discovered extent:
181
182struct inode_operations {
183 ...
184
185 int (*fiemap)(struct inode *, struct fiemap_extent_info *, u64 start,
186 u64 len);
187
188->fiemap is passed struct fiemap_extent_info which describes the
189fiemap request:
190
191struct fiemap_extent_info {
192 unsigned int fi_flags; /* Flags as passed from user */
193 unsigned int fi_extents_mapped; /* Number of mapped extents */
194 unsigned int fi_extents_max; /* Size of fiemap_extent array */
195 struct fiemap_extent *fi_extents_start; /* Start of fiemap_extent array */
196};
197
198It is intended that the file system should not need to access any of this
199structure directly.
200
201
202Flag checking should be done at the beginning of the ->fiemap callback via the
203fiemap_check_flags() helper:
204
205int fiemap_check_flags(struct fiemap_extent_info *fieinfo, u32 fs_flags);
206
207The struct fieinfo should be passed in as recieved from ioctl_fiemap(). The
208set of fiemap flags which the fs understands should be passed via fs_flags. If
209fiemap_check_flags finds invalid user flags, it will place the bad values in
210fieinfo->fi_flags and return -EBADR. If the file system gets -EBADR, from
211fiemap_check_flags(), it should immediately exit, returning that error back to
212ioctl_fiemap().
213
214
215For each extent in the request range, the file system should call
216the helper function, fiemap_fill_next_extent():
217
218int fiemap_fill_next_extent(struct fiemap_extent_info *info, u64 logical,
219 u64 phys, u64 len, u32 flags, u32 dev);
220
221fiemap_fill_next_extent() will use the passed values to populate the
222next free extent in the fm_extents array. 'General' extent flags will
223automatically be set from specific flags on behalf of the calling file
224system so that the userspace API is not broken.
225
226fiemap_fill_next_extent() returns 0 on success, and 1 when the
227user-supplied fm_extents array is full. If an error is encountered
228while copying the extent to user memory, -EFAULT will be returned.

20ATA/ATAPI-7 specifies the IDLE IMMEDIATE command with unload feature.
21Issuing this command should cause the drive to switch to idle mode and
22unload disk heads. This feature is being used in modern laptops in
23conjunction with accelerometers and appropriate software to implement
24a shock protection facility. The idea is to stop all I/O operations on
25the internal hard drive and park its heads on the ramp when critical
26situations are anticipated. The desire to have such a feature
27available on GNU/Linux systems has been the original motivation to
28implement a generic disk head parking interface in the Linux kernel.
29Please note, however, that other components have to be set up on your
30system in order to get disk shock protection working (see
31section 3. References below for pointers to more information about
32that).
33
34
352. The interface
36----------------
37
38For each ATA device, the kernel exports the file
39block/*/device/unload_heads in sysfs (here assumed to be mounted under
40/sys). Access to /sys/block/*/device/unload_heads is denied with
41-EOPNOTSUPP if the device does not support the unload feature.
42Otherwise, writing an integer value to this file will take the heads
43of the respective drive off the platter and block all I/O operations
44for the specified number of milliseconds. When the timeout expires and
45no further disk head park request has been issued in the meantime,
46normal operation will be resumed. The maximal value accepted for a
47timeout is 30000 milliseconds. Exceeding this limit will return
48-EOVERFLOW, but heads will be parked anyway and the timeout will be
49set to 30 seconds. However, you can always change a timeout to any
50value between 0 and 30000 by issuing a subsequent head park request
51before the timeout of the previous one has expired. In particular, the
52total timeout can exceed 30 seconds and, more importantly, you can
53cancel a previously set timeout and resume normal operation
54immediately by specifying a timeout of 0. Values below -2 are rejected
55with -EINVAL (see below for the special meaning of -1 and -2). If the
56timeout specified for a recent head park request has not yet expired,
57reading from /sys/block/*/device/unload_heads will report the number
58of milliseconds remaining until normal operation will be resumed;
59otherwise, reading the unload_heads attribute will return 0.
60
61For example, do the following in order to park the heads of drive
62/dev/sda and stop all I/O operations for five seconds:
63
64# echo 5000 > /sys/block/sda/device/unload_heads
65
66A simple
67
68# cat /sys/block/sda/device/unload_heads
69
70will show you how many milliseconds are left before normal operation
71will be resumed.
72
73A word of caution: The fact that the interface operates on a basis of
74milliseconds may raise expectations that cannot be satisfied in
75reality. In fact, the ATA specs clearly state that the time for an
76unload operation to complete is vendor specific. The hint in ATA-7
77that this will typically be within 500 milliseconds apparently has
78been dropped in ATA-8.
79
80There is a technical detail of this implementation that may cause some
81confusion and should be discussed here. When a head park request has
82been issued to a device successfully, all I/O operations on the
83controller port this device is attached to will be deferred. That is
84to say, any other device that may be connected to the same port will
85be affected too. The only exception is that a subsequent head unload
86request to that other device will be executed immediately. Further
87operations on that port will be deferred until the timeout specified
88for either device on the port has expired. As far as PATA (old style
89IDE) configurations are concerned, there can only be two devices
90attached to any single port. In SATA world we have port multipliers
91which means that a user-issued head parking request to one device may
92actually result in stopping I/O to a whole bunch of devices. However,
93since this feature is supposed to be used on laptops and does not seem
94to be very useful in any other environment, there will be mostly one
95device per port. Even if the CD/DVD writer happens to be connected to
96the same port as the hard drive, it generally *should* recover just
97fine from the occasional buffer under-run incurred by a head park
98request to the HD. Actually, when you are using an ide driver rather
99than its libata counterpart (i.e. your disk is called /dev/hda
100instead of /dev/sda), then parking the heads of one drive (drive X)
101will generally not affect the mode of operation of another drive
102(drive Y) on the same port as described above. It is only when a port
103reset is required to recover from an exception on drive Y that further
104I/O operations on that drive (and the reset itself) will be delayed
105until drive X is no longer in the parked state.
106
107Finally, there are some hard drives that only comply with an earlier
108version of the ATA standard than ATA-7, but do support the unload
109feature nonetheless. Unfortunately, there is no safe way Linux can
110detect these devices, so you won't be able to write to the
111unload_heads attribute. If you know that your device really does
112support the unload feature (for instance, because the vendor of your
113laptop or the hard drive itself told you so), then you can tell the
114kernel to enable the usage of this feature for that drive by writing
115the special value -1 to the unload_heads attribute:
116
117# echo -1 > /sys/block/sda/device/unload_heads
118
119will enable the feature for /dev/sda, and giving -2 instead of -1 will
120disable it again.

126There are several laptops from different vendors featuring shock
127protection capabilities. As manufacturers have refused to support open
128source development of the required software components so far, Linux
129support for shock protection varies considerably between different
130hardware implementations. Ideally, this section should contain a list
131of pointers at different projects aiming at an implementation of shock
132protection on different systems. Unfortunately, I only know of a
133single project which, although still considered experimental, is fit
134for use. Please feel free to add projects that have been the victims
135of my ignorance.

28Section 2: Qdisc support for multiqueue devices
29
30-----------------------------------------------
31
32Currently two qdiscs are optimized for multiqueue devices. The first is the
33default pfifo_fast qdisc. This qdisc supports one qdisc per hardware queue.
34A new round-robin qdisc, sch_multiq also supports multiple hardware queues. The
35qdisc is responsible for classifying the skb's and then directing the skb's to
36bands and queues based on the value in skb->queue_mapping. Use this field in
37the base driver to determine which queue to send the skb to.
38
39sch_multiq has been added for hardware that wishes to avoid head-of-line
40blocking. It will cycle though the bands and verify that the hardware queue
41associated with the band is not stopped prior to dequeuing a packet.
42
43On qdisc load, the number of bands is based on the number of queues on the
44hardware. Once the association is made, any skb with skb->queue_mapping set,
45will be queued to the band associated with the hardware queue.
46
47
48Section 3: Brief howto using MULTIQ for multiqueue devices
49---------------------------------------------------------------
50
51The userspace command 'tc,' part of the iproute2 package, is used to configure
52qdiscs. To add the MULTIQ qdisc to your network device, assuming the device
53is called eth0, run the following command:
54
55# tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: multiq
56
57The qdisc will allocate the number of bands to equal the number of queues that
58the device reports, and bring the qdisc online. Assuming eth0 has 4 Tx
59queues, the band mapping would look like:
60
61band 0 => queue 0
62band 1 => queue 1
63band 2 => queue 2
64band 3 => queue 3
65
66Traffic will begin flowing through each queue based on either the simple_tx_hash
67function or based on netdev->select_queue() if you have it defined.
68
69The behavior of tc filters remains the same. However a new tc action,
70skbedit, has been added. Assuming you wanted to route all traffic to a
71specific host, for example 192.168.0.3, through a specific queue you could use
72this action and establish a filter such as:
73
74tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1: protocol ip prio 1 u32 \
75 match ip dst 192.168.0.3 \
76 action skbedit queue_mapping 3

1Linux Phonet protocol family
2============================
3
4Introduction
5------------
6
7Phonet is a packet protocol used by Nokia cellular modems for both IPC
8and RPC. With the Linux Phonet socket family, Linux host processes can
9receive and send messages from/to the modem, or any other external
10device attached to the modem. The modem takes care of routing.
11
12Phonet packets can be exchanged through various hardware connections
13depending on the device, such as:
14 - USB with the CDC Phonet interface,
15 - infrared,
16 - Bluetooth,
17 - an RS232 serial port (with a dedicated "FBUS" line discipline),
18 - the SSI bus with some TI OMAP processors.
19
20
21Packets format
22--------------
23
24Phonet packets have a common header as follows:
25
26 struct phonethdr {
27 uint8_t pn_media; /* Media type (link-layer identifier) */
28 uint8_t pn_rdev; /* Receiver device ID */
29 uint8_t pn_sdev; /* Sender device ID */
30 uint8_t pn_res; /* Resource ID or function */
31 uint16_t pn_length; /* Big-endian message byte length (minus 6) */
32 uint8_t pn_robj; /* Receiver object ID */
33 uint8_t pn_sobj; /* Sender object ID */
34 };
35
36On Linux, the link-layer header includes the pn_media byte (see below).
37The next 7 bytes are part of the network-layer header.
38
39The device ID is split: the 6 higher-order bits consitute the device
40address, while the 2 lower-order bits are used for multiplexing, as are
41the 8-bit object identifiers. As such, Phonet can be considered as a
42network layer with 6 bits of address space and 10 bits for transport
43protocol (much like port numbers in IP world).
44
45The modem always has address number zero. All other device have a their
46own 6-bit address.
47
48
49Link layer
50----------
51
52Phonet links are always point-to-point links. The link layer header
53consists of a single Phonet media type byte. It uniquely identifies the
54link through which the packet is transmitted, from the modem's
55perspective. Each Phonet network device shall prepend and set the media
56type byte as appropriate. For convenience, a common phonet_header_ops
57link-layer header operations structure is provided. It sets the
58media type according to the network device hardware address.
59
60Linux Phonet network interfaces support a dedicated link layer packets
61type (ETH_P_PHONET) which is out of the Ethernet type range. They can
62only send and receive Phonet packets.
63
64The virtual TUN tunnel device driver can also be used for Phonet. This
65requires IFF_TUN mode, _without_ the IFF_NO_PI flag. In this case,
66there is no link-layer header, so there is no Phonet media type byte.
67
68Note that Phonet interfaces are not allowed to re-order packets, so
69only the (default) Linux FIFO qdisc should be used with them.
70
71
72Network layer
73-------------
74
75The Phonet socket address family maps the Phonet packet header:
76
77 struct sockaddr_pn {
78 sa_family_t spn_family; /* AF_PHONET */
79 uint8_t spn_obj; /* Object ID */
80 uint8_t spn_dev; /* Device ID */
81 uint8_t spn_resource; /* Resource or function */
82 uint8_t spn_zero[...]; /* Padding */
83 };
84
85The resource field is only used when sending and receiving;
86It is ignored by bind() and getsockname().
87
88
89Low-level datagram protocol
90---------------------------
91
92Applications can send Phonet messages using the Phonet datagram socket
93protocol from the PF_PHONET family. Each socket is bound to one of the
942^10 object IDs available, and can send and receive packets with any
95other peer.
96
97 struct sockaddr_pn addr = { .spn_family = AF_PHONET, };
98 ssize_t len;
99 socklen_t addrlen = sizeof(addr);
100 int fd;
101
102 fd = socket(PF_PHONET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
103 bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr));
104 /* ... */
105
106 sendto(fd, msg, msglen, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr));
107 len = recvfrom(fd, buf, sizeof(buf), 0,
108 (struct sockaddr *)&addr, &addrlen);
109
110This protocol follows the SOCK_DGRAM connection-less semantics.
111However, connect() and getpeername() are not supported, as they did
112not seem useful with Phonet usages (could be added easily).
113
114
115Phonet Pipe protocol
116--------------------
117
118The Phonet Pipe protocol is a simple sequenced packets protocol
119with end-to-end congestion control. It uses the passive listening
120socket paradigm. The listening socket is bound to an unique free object
121ID. Each listening socket can handle up to 255 simultaneous
122connections, one per accept()'d socket.
123
124 int lfd, cfd;
125
126 lfd = socket(PF_PHONET, SOCK_SEQPACKET, PN_PROTO_PIPE);
127 listen (lfd, INT_MAX);
128
129 /* ... */
130 cfd = accept(lfd, NULL, NULL);
131 for (;;)
132 {
133 char buf[...];
134 ssize_t len = read(cfd, buf, sizeof(buf));
135
136 /* ... */
137
138 write(cfd, msg, msglen);
139 }
140
141Connections are established between two endpoints by a "third party"
142application. This means that both endpoints are passive; so connect()
143is not possible.
144
145WARNING:
146When polling a connected pipe socket for writability, there is an
147intrinsic race condition whereby writability might be lost between the
148polling and the writing system calls. In this case, the socket will
149block until write because possible again, unless non-blocking mode
150becomes enabled.
151
152
153The pipe protocol provides two socket options at the SOL_PNPIPE level:
154
155 PNPIPE_ENCAP accepts one integer value (int) of:
156
157 PNPIPE_ENCAP_NONE: The socket operates normally (default).
158
159 PNPIPE_ENCAP_IP: The socket is used as a backend for a virtual IP
160 interface. This requires CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. GPRS data
161 support on Nokia modems can use this. Note that the socket cannot
162 be reliably poll()'d or read() from while in this mode.
163
164 PNPIPE_IFINDEX is a read-only integer value. It contains the
165 interface index of the network interface created by PNPIPE_ENCAP,
166 or zero if encapsulation is off.

1Linux wireless regulatory documentation
2---------------------------------------
3
4This document gives a brief review over how the Linux wireless
5regulatory infrastructure works.
6
7More up to date information can be obtained at the project's web page:
8
9http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory
10
11Keeping regulatory domains in userspace
12---------------------------------------
13
14Due to the dynamic nature of regulatory domains we keep them
15in userspace and provide a framework for userspace to upload
16to the kernel one regulatory domain to be used as the central
17core regulatory domain all wireless devices should adhere to.
18
19How to get regulatory domains to the kernel
20-------------------------------------------
21
22Userspace gets a regulatory domain in the kernel by having
23a userspace agent build it and send it via nl80211. Only
24expected regulatory domains will be respected by the kernel.
25
26A currently available userspace agent which can accomplish this
27is CRDA - central regulatory domain agent. Its documented here:
28
29http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
30
31Essentially the kernel will send a udev event when it knows
32it needs a new regulatory domain. A udev rule can be put in place
33to trigger crda to send the respective regulatory domain for a
34specific ISO/IEC 3166 alpha2.
35
36Below is an example udev rule which can be used:
37
38# Example file, should be put in /etc/udev/rules.d/regulatory.rules
39KERNEL=="regulatory*", ACTION=="change", SUBSYSTEM=="platform", RUN+="/sbin/crda"
40
41The alpha2 is passed as an environment variable under the variable COUNTRY.
42
43Who asks for regulatory domains?
44--------------------------------
45
46* Users
47
48Users can use iw:
49
50http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw
51
52An example:
53
54 # set regulatory domain to "Costa Rica"
55 iw reg set CR
56
57This will request the kernel to set the regulatory domain to
58the specificied alpha2. The kernel in turn will then ask userspace
59to provide a regulatory domain for the alpha2 specified by the user
60by sending a uevent.
61
62* Wireless subsystems for Country Information elements
63
64The kernel will send a uevent to inform userspace a new
65regulatory domain is required. More on this to be added
66as its integration is added.
67
68* Drivers
69
70If drivers determine they need a specific regulatory domain
71set they can inform the wireless core using regulatory_hint().
72They have two options -- they either provide an alpha2 so that
73crda can provide back a regulatory domain for that country or
74they can build their own regulatory domain based on internal
75custom knowledge so the wireless core can respect it.
76
77*Most* drivers will rely on the first mechanism of providing a
78regulatory hint with an alpha2. For these drivers there is an additional
79check that can be used to ensure compliance based on custom EEPROM
80regulatory data. This additional check can be used by drivers by
81registering on its struct wiphy a reg_notifier() callback. This notifier
82is called when the core's regulatory domain has been changed. The driver
83can use this to review the changes made and also review who made them
84(driver, user, country IE) and determine what to allow based on its
85internal EEPROM data. Devices drivers wishing to be capable of world
86roaming should use this callback. More on world roaming will be
87added to this document when its support is enabled.
88
89Device drivers who provide their own built regulatory domain
90do not need a callback as the channels registered by them are
91the only ones that will be allowed and therefore *additional*
92cannels cannot be enabled.
93
94Example code - drivers hinting an alpha2:
95------------------------------------------
96
97This example comes from the zd1211rw device driver. You can start
98by having a mapping of your device's EEPROM country/regulatory
99domain value to to a specific alpha2 as follows:
100
101static struct zd_reg_alpha2_map reg_alpha2_map[] = {
102 { ZD_REGDOMAIN_FCC, "US" },
103 { ZD_REGDOMAIN_IC, "CA" },
104 { ZD_REGDOMAIN_ETSI, "DE" }, /* Generic ETSI, use most restrictive */
105 { ZD_REGDOMAIN_JAPAN, "JP" },
106 { ZD_REGDOMAIN_JAPAN_ADD, "JP" },
107 { ZD_REGDOMAIN_SPAIN, "ES" },
108 { ZD_REGDOMAIN_FRANCE, "FR" },
109
110Then you can define a routine to map your read EEPROM value to an alpha2,
111as follows:
112
113static int zd_reg2alpha2(u8 regdomain, char *alpha2)
114{
115 unsigned int i;
116 struct zd_reg_alpha2_map *reg_map;
117 for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(reg_alpha2_map); i++) {
118 reg_map = &reg_alpha2_map[i];
119 if (regdomain == reg_map->reg) {
120 alpha2[0] = reg_map->alpha2[0];
121 alpha2[1] = reg_map->alpha2[1];
122 return 0;
123 }
124 }
125 return 1;
126}
127
128Lastly, you can then hint to the core of your discovered alpha2, if a match
129was found. You need to do this after you have registered your wiphy. You
130are expected to do this during initialization.
131
132 r = zd_reg2alpha2(mac->regdomain, alpha2);
133 if (!r)
134 regulatory_hint(hw->wiphy, alpha2, NULL);
135
136Example code - drivers providing a built in regulatory domain:
137--------------------------------------------------------------
138
139If you have regulatory information you can obtain from your
140driver and you *need* to use this we let you build a regulatory domain
141structure and pass it to the wireless core. To do this you should
142kmalloc() a structure big enough to hold your regulatory domain
143structure and you should then fill it with your data. Finally you simply
144call regulatory_hint() with the regulatory domain structure in it.
145
146Bellow is a simple example, with a regulatory domain cached using the stack.
147Your implementation may vary (read EEPROM cache instead, for example).
148
149Example cache of some regulatory domain
150
151struct ieee80211_regdomain mydriver_jp_regdom = {
152 .n_reg_rules = 3,
153 .alpha2 = "JP",
154 //.alpha2 = "99", /* If I have no alpha2 to map it to */
155 .reg_rules = {
156 /* IEEE 802.11b/g, channels 1..14 */
157 REG_RULE(2412-20, 2484+20, 40, 6, 20, 0),
158 /* IEEE 802.11a, channels 34..48 */
159 REG_RULE(5170-20, 5240+20, 40, 6, 20,
160 NL80211_RRF_PASSIVE_SCAN),
161 /* IEEE 802.11a, channels 52..64 */
162 REG_RULE(5260-20, 5320+20, 40, 6, 20,
163 NL80211_RRF_NO_IBSS |
164 NL80211_RRF_DFS),
165 }
166};
167
168Then in some part of your code after your wiphy has been registered:
169
170 int r;
171 struct ieee80211_regdomain *rd;
172 int size_of_regd;
173 int num_rules = mydriver_jp_regdom.n_reg_rules;
174 unsigned int i;
175
176 size_of_regd = sizeof(struct ieee80211_regdomain) +
177 (num_rules * sizeof(struct ieee80211_reg_rule));
178
179 rd = kzalloc(size_of_regd, GFP_KERNEL);
180 if (!rd)

1Transparent proxy support
2=========================
3
4This feature adds Linux 2.2-like transparent proxy support to current kernels.
5To use it, enable NETFILTER_TPROXY, the socket match and the TPROXY target in
6your kernel config. You will need policy routing too, so be sure to enable that
7as well.
8
9
101. Making non-local sockets work
11================================
12
13The idea is that you identify packets with destination address matching a local
14socket on your box, set the packet mark to a certain value, and then match on that
15value using policy routing to have those packets delivered locally:
16
17# iptables -t mangle -N DIVERT
18# iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m socket -j DIVERT
19# iptables -t mangle -A DIVERT -j MARK --set-mark 1
20# iptables -t mangle -A DIVERT -j ACCEPT
21
22# ip rule add fwmark 1 lookup 100
23# ip route add local 0.0.0.0/0 dev lo table 100
24
25Because of certain restrictions in the IPv4 routing output code you'll have to
26modify your application to allow it to send datagrams _from_ non-local IP
27addresses. All you have to do is enable the (SOL_IP, IP_TRANSPARENT) socket
28option before calling bind:
29
30fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
31/* - 8< -*/
32int value = 1;
33setsockopt(fd, SOL_IP, IP_TRANSPARENT, &value, sizeof(value));
34/* - 8< -*/
35name.sin_family = AF_INET;
36name.sin_port = htons(0xCAFE);
37name.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(0xDEADBEEF);
38bind(fd, &name, sizeof(name));
39
40A trivial patch for netcat is available here:
41http://people.netfilter.org/hidden/tproxy/netcat-ip_transparent-support.patch
42
43
442. Redirecting traffic
45======================
46
47Transparent proxying often involves "intercepting" traffic on a router. This is
48usually done with the iptables REDIRECT target; however, there are serious
49limitations of that method. One of the major issues is that it actually
50modifies the packets to change the destination address -- which might not be
51acceptable in certain situations. (Think of proxying UDP for example: you won't
52be able to find out the original destination address. Even in case of TCP
53getting the original destination address is racy.)
54
55The 'TPROXY' target provides similar functionality without relying on NAT. Simply
56add rules like this to the iptables ruleset above:
57
58# iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j TPROXY \
59 --tproxy-mark 0x1/0x1 --on-port 50080
60
61Note that for this to work you'll have to modify the proxy to enable (SOL_IP,
62IP_TRANSPARENT) for the listening socket.
63
64
653. Iptables extensions
66======================
67
68To use tproxy you'll need to have the 'socket' and 'TPROXY' modules
69compiled for iptables. A patched version of iptables is available
70here: http://git.balabit.hu/?p=bazsi/iptables-tproxy.git
71
72
734. Application support
74======================
75
764.1. Squid
77----------
78
79Squid 3.HEAD has support built-in. To use it, pass
80'--enable-linux-netfilter' to configure and set the 'tproxy' option on
81the HTTP listener you redirect traffic to with the TPROXY iptables
82target.

1 =============
2 CFS Scheduler
3 =============
1 4
2This is the CFS scheduler.
3
480% of CFS's design can be summed up in a single sentence: CFS basically
5models an "ideal, precise multi-tasking CPU" on real hardware.
6
7"Ideal multi-tasking CPU" is a (non-existent :-)) CPU that has 100%
8physical power and which can run each task at precise equal speed, in
9parallel, each at 1/nr_running speed. For example: if there are 2 tasks
10running then it runs each at 50% physical power - totally in parallel.
11
12On real hardware, we can run only a single task at once, so while that
13one task runs, the other tasks that are waiting for the CPU are at a
14disadvantage - the current task gets an unfair amount of CPU time. In
15CFS this fairness imbalance is expressed and tracked via the per-task
16p->wait_runtime (nanosec-unit) value. "wait_runtime" is the amount of
17time the task should now run on the CPU for it to become completely fair
18and balanced.
19
20( small detail: on 'ideal' hardware, the p->wait_runtime value would
21 always be zero - no task would ever get 'out of balance' from the
22 'ideal' share of CPU time. )
23
24CFS's task picking logic is based on this p->wait_runtime value and it
25is thus very simple: it always tries to run the task with the largest
26p->wait_runtime value. In other words, CFS tries to run the task with
27the 'gravest need' for more CPU time. So CFS always tries to split up
28CPU time between runnable tasks as close to 'ideal multitasking
29hardware' as possible.
30
31Most of the rest of CFS's design just falls out of this really simple
32concept, with a few add-on embellishments like nice levels,
33multiprocessing and various algorithm variants to recognize sleepers.
34
35In practice it works like this: the system runs a task a bit, and when
36the task schedules (or a scheduler tick happens) the task's CPU usage is
37'accounted for': the (small) time it just spent using the physical CPU
38is deducted from p->wait_runtime. [minus the 'fair share' it would have
39gotten anyway]. Once p->wait_runtime gets low enough so that another
40task becomes the 'leftmost task' of the time-ordered rbtree it maintains
41(plus a small amount of 'granularity' distance relative to the leftmost
42task so that we do not over-schedule tasks and trash the cache) then the
43new leftmost task is picked and the current task is preempted.
44
45The rq->fair_clock value tracks the 'CPU time a runnable task would have
46fairly gotten, had it been runnable during that time'. So by using
47rq->fair_clock values we can accurately timestamp and measure the
48'expected CPU time' a task should have gotten. All runnable tasks are
49sorted in the rbtree by the "rq->fair_clock - p->wait_runtime" key, and
50CFS picks the 'leftmost' task and sticks to it. As the system progresses
51forwards, newly woken tasks are put into the tree more and more to the
52right - slowly but surely giving a chance for every task to become the
53'leftmost task' and thus get on the CPU within a deterministic amount of
54time.
55
56Some implementation details:
57
58 - the introduction of Scheduling Classes: an extensible hierarchy of
59 scheduler modules. These modules encapsulate scheduling policy
60 details and are handled by the scheduler core without the core
61 code assuming about them too much.
62
63 - sched_fair.c implements the 'CFS desktop scheduler': it is a
64 replacement for the vanilla scheduler's SCHED_OTHER interactivity
65 code.
66
67 I'd like to give credit to Con Kolivas for the general approach here:
68 he has proven via RSDL/SD that 'fair scheduling' is possible and that
69 it results in better desktop scheduling. Kudos Con!
70
71 The CFS patch uses a completely different approach and implementation
72 from RSDL/SD. My goal was to make CFS's interactivity quality exceed
73 that of RSDL/SD, which is a high standard to meet :-) Testing
74 feedback is welcome to decide this one way or another. [ and, in any
75 case, all of SD's logic could be added via a kernel/sched_sd.c module
76 as well, if Con is interested in such an approach. ]
77
78 CFS's design is quite radical: it does not use runqueues, it uses a
79 time-ordered rbtree to build a 'timeline' of future task execution,
80 and thus has no 'array switch' artifacts (by which both the vanilla
81 scheduler and RSDL/SD are affected).
82
83 CFS uses nanosecond granularity accounting and does not rely on any
84 jiffies or other HZ detail. Thus the CFS scheduler has no notion of
85 'timeslices' and has no heuristics whatsoever. There is only one
86 central tunable (you have to switch on CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG):
87
88 /proc/sys/kernel/sched_granularity_ns
89
90 which can be used to tune the scheduler from 'desktop' (low
91 latencies) to 'server' (good batching) workloads. It defaults to a
92 setting suitable for desktop workloads. SCHED_BATCH is handled by the
93 CFS scheduler module too.
94
95 Due to its design, the CFS scheduler is not prone to any of the
96 'attacks' that exist today against the heuristics of the stock
97 scheduler: fiftyp.c, thud.c, chew.c, ring-test.c, massive_intr.c all
98 work fine and do not impact interactivity and produce the expected
99 behavior.
100
101 the CFS scheduler has a much stronger handling of nice levels and
102 SCHED_BATCH: both types of workloads should be isolated much more
103 agressively than under the vanilla scheduler.
104
105 ( another detail: due to nanosec accounting and timeline sorting,
106 sched_yield() support is very simple under CFS, and in fact under
107 CFS sched_yield() behaves much better than under any other
108 scheduler i have tested so far. )
109
110 - sched_rt.c implements SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR semantics, in a simpler
111 way than the vanilla scheduler does. It uses 100 runqueues (for all
112 100 RT priority levels, instead of 140 in the vanilla scheduler)
113 and it needs no expired array.
114
115 - reworked/sanitized SMP load-balancing: the runqueue-walking
116 assumptions are gone from the load-balancing code now, and
117 iterators of the scheduling modules are used. The balancing code got
118 quite a bit simpler as a result.
119
120
121Group scheduler extension to CFS
122================================
123
124Normally the scheduler operates on individual tasks and strives to provide
125fair CPU time to each task. Sometimes, it may be desirable to group tasks
126and provide fair CPU time to each such task group. For example, it may
127be desirable to first provide fair CPU time to each user on the system
128and then to each task belonging to a user.
129
130CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED strives to achieve exactly that. It lets
131SCHED_NORMAL/BATCH tasks be be grouped and divides CPU time fairly among such
132groups. At present, there are two (mutually exclusive) mechanisms to group
133tasks for CPU bandwidth control purpose:
134
135 - Based on user id (CONFIG_FAIR_USER_SCHED)
136 In this option, tasks are grouped according to their user id.
137 - Based on "cgroup" pseudo filesystem (CONFIG_FAIR_CGROUP_SCHED)
138 This options lets the administrator create arbitrary groups
139 of tasks, using the "cgroup" pseudo filesystem. See
140 Documentation/cgroups.txt for more information about this
141 filesystem.
142 5
143Only one of these options to group tasks can be chosen and not both. 61. OVERVIEW
7
8CFS stands for "Completely Fair Scheduler," and is the new "desktop" process
9scheduler implemented by Ingo Molnar and merged in Linux 2.6.23. It is the
10replacement for the previous vanilla scheduler's SCHED_OTHER interactivity
11code.
12
1380% of CFS's design can be summed up in a single sentence: CFS basically models
14an "ideal, precise multi-tasking CPU" on real hardware.
15
16"Ideal multi-tasking CPU" is a (non-existent :-)) CPU that has 100% physical
17power and which can run each task at precise equal speed, in parallel, each at
181/nr_running speed. For example: if there are 2 tasks running, then it runs
19each at 50% physical power --- i.e., actually in parallel.
20
21On real hardware, we can run only a single task at once, so we have to
22introduce the concept of "virtual runtime." The virtual runtime of a task
23specifies when its next timeslice would start execution on the ideal
24multi-tasking CPU described above. In practice, the virtual runtime of a task
25is its actual runtime normalized to the total number of running tasks.
26
27
28
292. FEW IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
30
31In CFS the virtual runtime is expressed and tracked via the per-task
32p->se.vruntime (nanosec-unit) value. This way, it's possible to accurately
33timestamp and measure the "expected CPU time" a task should have gotten.
34
35[ small detail: on "ideal" hardware, at any time all tasks would have the same
36 p->se.vruntime value --- i.e., tasks would execute simultaneously and no task
37 would ever get "out of balance" from the "ideal" share of CPU time. ]
38
39CFS's task picking logic is based on this p->se.vruntime value and it is thus
40very simple: it always tries to run the task with the smallest p->se.vruntime
41value (i.e., the task which executed least so far). CFS always tries to split
42up CPU time between runnable tasks as close to "ideal multitasking hardware" as
43possible.
44
45Most of the rest of CFS's design just falls out of this really simple concept,
46with a few add-on embellishments like nice levels, multiprocessing and various
47algorithm variants to recognize sleepers.
48
49
50
513. THE RBTREE
52
53CFS's design is quite radical: it does not use the old data structures for the
54runqueues, but it uses a time-ordered rbtree to build a "timeline" of future
55task execution, and thus has no "array switch" artifacts (by which both the
56previous vanilla scheduler and RSDL/SD are affected).
57
58CFS also maintains the rq->cfs.min_vruntime value, which is a monotonic
59increasing value tracking the smallest vruntime among all tasks in the
60runqueue. The total amount of work done by the system is tracked using
61min_vruntime; that value is used to place newly activated entities on the left
62side of the tree as much as possible.
63
64The total number of running tasks in the runqueue is accounted through the
65rq->cfs.load value, which is the sum of the weights of the tasks queued on the
66runqueue.
67
68CFS maintains a time-ordered rbtree, where all runnable tasks are sorted by the
69p->se.vruntime key (there is a subtraction using rq->cfs.min_vruntime to
70account for possible wraparounds). CFS picks the "leftmost" task from this
71tree and sticks to it.
72As the system progresses forwards, the executed tasks are put into the tree
73more and more to the right --- slowly but surely giving a chance for every task
74to become the "leftmost task" and thus get on the CPU within a deterministic
75amount of time.
76
77Summing up, CFS works like this: it runs a task a bit, and when the task
78schedules (or a scheduler tick happens) the task's CPU usage is "accounted
79for": the (small) time it just spent using the physical CPU is added to
80p->se.vruntime. Once p->se.vruntime gets high enough so that another task
81becomes the "leftmost task" of the time-ordered rbtree it maintains (plus a
82small amount of "granularity" distance relative to the leftmost task so that we
83do not over-schedule tasks and trash the cache), then the new leftmost task is
84picked and the current task is preempted.
85
86
87
884. SOME FEATURES OF CFS
89
90CFS uses nanosecond granularity accounting and does not rely on any jiffies or
91other HZ detail. Thus the CFS scheduler has no notion of "timeslices" in the
92way the previous scheduler had, and has no heuristics whatsoever. There is
93only one central tunable (you have to switch on CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG):
94
95 /proc/sys/kernel/sched_granularity_ns
96
97which can be used to tune the scheduler from "desktop" (i.e., low latencies) to
98"server" (i.e., good batching) workloads. It defaults to a setting suitable
99for desktop workloads. SCHED_BATCH is handled by the CFS scheduler module too.
100
101Due to its design, the CFS scheduler is not prone to any of the "attacks" that
102exist today against the heuristics of the stock scheduler: fiftyp.c, thud.c,
103chew.c, ring-test.c, massive_intr.c all work fine and do not impact
104interactivity and produce the expected behavior.
105
106The CFS scheduler has a much stronger handling of nice levels and SCHED_BATCH
107than the previous vanilla scheduler: both types of workloads are isolated much
108more aggressively.
109
110SMP load-balancing has been reworked/sanitized: the runqueue-walking
111assumptions are gone from the load-balancing code now, and iterators of the
112scheduling modules are used. The balancing code got quite a bit simpler as a
113result.
114
115
116
1175. Scheduling policies
118
119CFS implements three scheduling policies:
120
121 - SCHED_NORMAL (traditionally called SCHED_OTHER): The scheduling
122 policy that is used for regular tasks.
123
124 - SCHED_BATCH: Does not preempt nearly as often as regular tasks
125 would, thereby allowing tasks to run longer and make better use of
126 caches but at the cost of interactivity. This is well suited for
127 batch jobs.
128
129 - SCHED_IDLE: This is even weaker than nice 19, but its not a true
130 idle timer scheduler in order to avoid to get into priority
131 inversion problems which would deadlock the machine.
132
133SCHED_FIFO/_RR are implemented in sched_rt.c and are as specified by
134POSIX.
135
136The command chrt from util-linux-ng 2.13.1.1 can set all of these except
137SCHED_IDLE.
144 138
145Group scheduler tunables:
146 139
147When CONFIG_FAIR_USER_SCHED is defined, a directory is created in sysfs for 140
148each new user and a "cpu_share" file is added in that directory. 1416. SCHEDULING CLASSES
142
143The new CFS scheduler has been designed in such a way to introduce "Scheduling
144Classes," an extensible hierarchy of scheduler modules. These modules
145encapsulate scheduling policy details and are handled by the scheduler core
146without the core code assuming too much about them.
147
148sched_fair.c implements the CFS scheduler described above.
149
150sched_rt.c implements SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR semantics, in a simpler way than
151the previous vanilla scheduler did. It uses 100 runqueues (for all 100 RT
152priority levels, instead of 140 in the previous scheduler) and it needs no
153expired array.
154
155Scheduling classes are implemented through the sched_class structure, which
156contains hooks to functions that must be called whenever an interesting event
157occurs.
158
159This is the (partial) list of the hooks:
160
161 - enqueue_task(...)
162
163 Called when a task enters a runnable state.
164 It puts the scheduling entity (task) into the red-black tree and
165 increments the nr_running variable.
166
167 - dequeue_tree(...)
168
169 When a task is no longer runnable, this function is called to keep the
170 corresponding scheduling entity out of the red-black tree. It decrements
171 the nr_running variable.
172
173 - yield_task(...)
174
175 This function is basically just a dequeue followed by an enqueue, unless the
176 compat_yield sysctl is turned on; in that case, it places the scheduling
177 entity at the right-most end of the red-black tree.
178
179 - check_preempt_curr(...)
180
181 This function checks if a task that entered the runnable state should
182 preempt the currently running task.
183
184 - pick_next_task(...)
185
186 This function chooses the most appropriate task eligible to run next.
187
188 - set_curr_task(...)
189
190 This function is called when a task changes its scheduling class or changes
191 its task group.
192
193 - task_tick(...)
194
195 This function is mostly called from time tick functions; it might lead to
196 process switch. This drives the running preemption.
197
198 - task_new(...)
199
200 The core scheduler gives the scheduling module an opportunity to manage new
201 task startup. The CFS scheduling module uses it for group scheduling, while
202 the scheduling module for a real-time task does not use it.
203
204
205
2067. GROUP SCHEDULER EXTENSIONS TO CFS
207
208Normally, the scheduler operates on individual tasks and strives to provide
209fair CPU time to each task. Sometimes, it may be desirable to group tasks and
210provide fair CPU time to each such task group. For example, it may be
211desirable to first provide fair CPU time to each user on the system and then to
212each task belonging to a user.
213
214CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED strives to achieve exactly that. It lets tasks to be
215grouped and divides CPU time fairly among such groups.
216
217CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED permits to group real-time (i.e., SCHED_FIFO and
218SCHED_RR) tasks.
219
220CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED permits to group CFS (i.e., SCHED_NORMAL and
221SCHED_BATCH) tasks.
222
223At present, there are two (mutually exclusive) mechanisms to group tasks for
224CPU bandwidth control purposes:
225
226 - Based on user id (CONFIG_USER_SCHED)
227
228 With this option, tasks are grouped according to their user id.
229
230 - Based on "cgroup" pseudo filesystem (CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED)
231
232 This options needs CONFIG_CGROUPS to be defined, and lets the administrator
233 create arbitrary groups of tasks, using the "cgroup" pseudo filesystem. See
234 Documentation/cgroups.txt for more information about this filesystem.
235
236Only one of these options to group tasks can be chosen and not both.
237
238When CONFIG_USER_SCHED is defined, a directory is created in sysfs for each new
239user and a "cpu_share" file is added in that directory.

2 Writing SBUS Drivers
3
4 David S. Miller (davem@redhat.com)
5
6 The SBUS driver interfaces of the Linux kernel have been
7revamped completely for 2.4.x for several reasons. Foremost were
8performance and complexity concerns. This document details these
9new interfaces and how they are used to write an SBUS device driver.
10
11 SBUS drivers need to include <asm/sbus.h> to get access
12to functions and structures described here.
13
14 Probing and Detection
15
16 Each SBUS device inside the machine is described by a
17structure called "struct sbus_dev". Likewise, each SBUS bus
18found in the system is described by a "struct sbus_bus". For
19each SBUS bus, the devices underneath are hung in a tree-like
20fashion off of the bus structure.
21
22 The SBUS device structure contains enough information
23for you to implement your device probing algorithm and obtain
24the bits necessary to run your device. The most commonly
25used members of this structure, and their typical usage,
26will be detailed below.
27
28 Here is a piece of skeleton code for performing a device
29probe in an SBUS driver under Linux:
30
31 static int __devinit mydevice_probe_one(struct sbus_dev *sdev)
32 {
33 struct mysdevice *mp = kzalloc(sizeof(*mp), GFP_KERNEL);
34
35 if (!mp)
36 return -ENODEV;
37
38 ...
39 dev_set_drvdata(&sdev->ofdev.dev, mp);
40 return 0;
41 ...
42 }
43
44 static int __devinit mydevice_probe(struct of_device *dev,
45 const struct of_device_id *match)
46 {
47 struct sbus_dev *sdev = to_sbus_device(&dev->dev);
48
49 return mydevice_probe_one(sdev);
50 }
51
52 static int __devexit mydevice_remove(struct of_device *dev)
53 {
54 struct sbus_dev *sdev = to_sbus_device(&dev->dev);
55 struct mydevice *mp = dev_get_drvdata(&dev->dev);
56
57 return mydevice_remove_one(sdev, mp);
58 }
59
60 static struct of_device_id mydevice_match[] = {
61 {
62 .name = "mydevice",
63 },
64 {},
65 };
66
67 MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, mydevice_match);
68
69 static struct of_platform_driver mydevice_driver = {
70 .match_table = mydevice_match,
71 .probe = mydevice_probe,
72 .remove = __devexit_p(mydevice_remove),
73 .driver = {
74 .name = "mydevice",
75 },
76 };
77
78 static int __init mydevice_init(void)
79 {
80 return of_register_driver(&mydevice_driver, &sbus_bus_type);
81 }
82
83 static void __exit mydevice_exit(void)
84 {
85 of_unregister_driver(&mydevice_driver);
86 }
87
88 module_init(mydevice_init);
89 module_exit(mydevice_exit);
90
91 The mydevice_match table is a series of entries which
92describes what SBUS devices your driver is meant for. In the
93simplest case you specify a string for the 'name' field. Every
94SBUS device with a 'name' property matching your string will
95be passed one-by-one to your .probe method.
96
97 You should store away your device private state structure
98pointer in the drvdata area so that you can retrieve it later on
99in your .remove method.
100
101 Any memory allocated, registers mapped, IRQs registered,
102etc. must be undone by your .remove method so that all resources
103of your device are released by the time it returns.
104
105 You should _NOT_ use the for_each_sbus(), for_each_sbusdev(),
106and for_all_sbusdev() interfaces. They are deprecated, will be
107removed, and no new driver should reference them ever.
108
109 Mapping and Accessing I/O Registers
110
111 Each SBUS device structure contains an array of descriptors
112which describe each register set. We abuse struct resource for that.
113They each correspond to the "reg" properties provided by the OBP firmware.
114
115 Before you can access your device's registers you must map
116them. And later if you wish to shutdown your driver (for module
117unload or similar) you must unmap them. You must treat them as
118a resource, which you allocate (map) before using and free up
119(unmap) when you are done with it.
120
121 The mapping information is stored in an opaque value
122typed as an "unsigned long". This is the type of the return value
123of the mapping interface, and the arguments to the unmapping
124interface. Let's say you want to map the first set of registers.
125Perhaps part of your driver software state structure looks like:
126
127 struct mydevice {
128 unsigned long control_regs;
129 ...
130 struct sbus_dev *sdev;
131 ...
132 };
133
134 At initialization time you then use the sbus_ioremap
135interface to map in your registers, like so:
136
137 static void init_one_mydevice(struct sbus_dev *sdev)
138 {
139 struct mydevice *mp;
140 ...
141
142 mp->control_regs = sbus_ioremap(&sdev->resource[0], 0,
143 CONTROL_REGS_SIZE, "mydevice regs");
144 if (!mp->control_regs) {
145 /* Failure, cleanup and return. */
146 }
147 }
148
149 Second argument to sbus_ioremap is an offset for
150cranky devices with broken OBP PROM. The sbus_ioremap uses only
151a start address and flags from the resource structure.
152Therefore it is possible to use the same resource to map
153several sets of registers or even to fabricate a resource
154structure if driver gets physical address from some private place.
155This practice is discouraged though. Use whatever OBP PROM
156provided to you.
157
158 And here is how you might unmap these registers later at
159driver shutdown or module unload time, using the sbus_iounmap
160interface:
161
162 static void mydevice_unmap_regs(struct mydevice *mp)
163 {
164 sbus_iounmap(mp->control_regs, CONTROL_REGS_SIZE);
165 }
166
167 Finally, to actually access your registers there are 6
168interface routines at your disposal. Accesses are byte (8 bit),
169word (16 bit), or longword (32 bit) sized. Here they are:
170
171 u8 sbus_readb(unsigned long reg) /* read byte */
172 u16 sbus_readw(unsigned long reg) /* read word */
173 u32 sbus_readl(unsigned long reg) /* read longword */
174 void sbus_writeb(u8 value, unsigned long reg) /* write byte */
175 void sbus_writew(u16 value, unsigned long reg) /* write word */
176 void sbus_writel(u32 value, unsigned long reg) /* write longword */
177
178 So, let's say your device has a control register of some sort
179at offset zero. The following might implement resetting your device:
180
181 #define CONTROL 0x00UL
182
183 #define CONTROL_RESET 0x00000001 /* Reset hardware */
184
185 static void mydevice_reset(struct mydevice *mp)
186 {
187 sbus_writel(CONTROL_RESET, mp->regs + CONTROL);
188 }
189
190 Or perhaps there is a data port register at an offset of
19116 bytes which allows you to read bytes from a fifo in the device:
192
193 #define DATA 0x10UL
194
195 static u8 mydevice_get_byte(struct mydevice *mp)
196 {
197 return sbus_readb(mp->regs + DATA);
198 }
199
200 It's pretty straightforward, and clueful readers may have
201noticed that these interfaces mimick the PCI interfaces of the
202Linux kernel. This was not by accident.
203
204 WARNING:
205
206 DO NOT try to treat these opaque register mapping
207 values as a memory mapped pointer to some structure
208 which you can dereference.
209
210 It may be memory mapped, it may not be. In fact it
211 could be a physical address, or it could be the time
212 of day xor'd with 0xdeadbeef. :-)
213
214 Whatever it is, it's an implementation detail. The
215 interface was done this way to shield the driver
216 author from such complexities.
217
218 Doing DVMA
219
220 SBUS devices can perform DMA transactions in a way similar
221to PCI but dissimilar to ISA, e.g. DMA masters supply address.
222In contrast to PCI, however, that address (a bus address) is
223translated by IOMMU before a memory access is performed and therefore
224it is virtual. Sun calls this procedure DVMA.
225
226 Linux supports two styles of using SBUS DVMA: "consistent memory"
227and "streaming DVMA". CPU view of consistent memory chunk is, well,
228consistent with a view of a device. Think of it as an uncached memory.
229Typically this way of doing DVMA is not very fast and drivers use it
230mostly for control blocks or queues. On some CPUs we cannot flush or
231invalidate individual pages or cache lines and doing explicit flushing
232over ever little byte in every control block would be wasteful.
233
234Streaming DVMA is a preferred way to transfer large amounts of data.
235This process works in the following way:
2361. a CPU stops accessing a certain part of memory,
237 flushes its caches covering that memory;
2382. a device does DVMA accesses, then posts an interrupt;
2393. CPU invalidates its caches and starts to access the memory.
240
241A single streaming DVMA operation can touch several discontiguous
242regions of a virtual bus address space. This is called a scatter-gather
243DVMA.
244
245[TBD: Why do not we neither Solaris attempt to map disjoint pages
246into a single virtual chunk with the help of IOMMU, so that non SG
247DVMA masters would do SG? It'd be very helpful for RAID.]
248
249 In order to perform a consistent DVMA a driver does something
250like the following:
251
252 char *mem; /* Address in the CPU space */
253 u32 busa; /* Address in the SBus space */
254
255 mem = (char *) sbus_alloc_consistent(sdev, MYMEMSIZE, &busa);
256
257 Then mem is used when CPU accesses this memory and u32
258is fed to the device so that it can do DVMA. This is typically
259done with an sbus_writel() into some device register.
260
261 Do not forget to free the DVMA resources once you are done:
262
263 sbus_free_consistent(sdev, MYMEMSIZE, mem, busa);
264
265 Streaming DVMA is more interesting. First you allocate some
266memory suitable for it or pin down some user pages. Then it all works
267like this:
268
269 char *mem = argumen1;
270 unsigned int size = argument2;
271 u32 busa; /* Address in the SBus space */
272
273 *mem = 1; /* CPU can access */
274 busa = sbus_map_single(sdev, mem, size);
275 if (busa == 0) .......
276
277 /* Tell the device to use busa here */
278 /* CPU cannot access the memory without sbus_dma_sync_single() */
279
280 sbus_unmap_single(sdev, busa, size);
281 if (*mem == 0) .... /* CPU can access again */
282
283 It is possible to retain mappings and ask the device to
284access data again and again without calling sbus_unmap_single.
285However, CPU caches must be invalidated with sbus_dma_sync_single
286before such access.
287
288[TBD but what about writeback caches here... do we have any?]
289
290 There is an equivalent set of functions doing the same thing
291only with several memory segments at once for devices capable of
292scatter-gather transfers. Use the Source, Luke.
293
294 Examples
295
296 drivers/net/sunhme.c
297 This is a complicated driver which illustrates many concepts
298discussed above and plus it handles both PCI and SBUS boards.
299
300 drivers/scsi/esp.c
301 Check it out for scatter-gather DVMA.
302
303 drivers/sbus/char/bpp.c
304 A non-DVMA device.
305
306 drivers/net/sunlance.c
307 Lance driver abuses consistent mappings for data transfer.
308It is a nifty trick which we do not particularly recommend...
309Just check it out and know that it's legal.

3The High Precision Event Timer (HPET) hardware is the future replacement 3The High Precision Event Timer (HPET) hardware follows a specification
4for the 8254 and Real Time Clock (RTC) periodic timer functionality. 4by Intel and Microsoft which can be found at
5Each HPET can have up to 32 timers. It is possible to configure the 5
6first two timers as legacy replacements for 8254 and RTC periodic timers. 6 http://www.intel.com/technology/architecture/hpetspec.htm
7A specification done by Intel and Microsoft can be found at 7
8<http://www.intel.com/technology/architecture/hpetspec.htm>. 8Each HPET has one fixed-rate counter (at 10+ MHz, hence "High Precision")
9and up to 32 comparators. Normally three or more comparators are provided,
10each of which can generate oneshot interupts and at least one of which has
11additional hardware to support periodic interrupts. The comparators are
12also called "timers", which can be misleading since usually timers are
13independent of each other ... these share a counter, complicating resets.
14
15HPET devices can support two interrupt routing modes. In one mode, the
16comparators are additional interrupt sources with no particular system
17role. Many x86 BIOS writers don't route HPET interrupts at all, which
18prevents use of that mode. They support the other "legacy replacement"
19mode where the first two comparators block interrupts from 8254 timers
20and from the RTC.

290The kernel API has three interfaces exported from the driver:

292 hpet_register(struct hpet_task *tp, int periodic)
293 hpet_unregister(struct hpet_task *tp)

296The kernel module using this interface fills in the ht_func and ht_data
297members of the hpet_task structure before calling hpet_register.
298hpet_control simply vectors to the hpet_ioctl routine and has the same
299commands and respective arguments as the user API. hpet_unregister
300is used to terminate usage of the HPET timer reserved by hpet_register.

1This document describes the ALi m5602 bridge connected
2to the following supported sensors:
3OmniVision OV9650,
4Samsung s5k83a,
5Samsung s5k4aa,
6Micron mt9m111,
7Pixel plus PO1030
8
9This driver mimics the windows drivers, which have a braindead implementation sending bayer-encoded frames at VGA resolution.
10In a perfect world we should be able to reprogram the m5602 and the connected sensor in hardware instead, supporting a range of resolutions and pixelformats
11
12Anyway, have fun and please report any bugs to m560x-driver-devel@lists.sourceforge.net

1 Soc-Camera Subsystem
2 ====================
3
4Terminology
5-----------
6
7The following terms are used in this document:
8 - camera / camera device / camera sensor - a video-camera sensor chip, capable
9 of connecting to a variety of systems and interfaces, typically uses i2c for
10 control and configuration, and a parallel or a serial bus for data.
11 - camera host - an interface, to which a camera is connected. Typically a
12 specialised interface, present on many SoCs, e.g., PXA27x and PXA3xx, SuperH,
13 AVR32, i.MX27, i.MX31.
14 - camera host bus - a connection between a camera host and a camera. Can be
15 parallel or serial, consists of data and control lines, e.g., clock, vertical
16 and horizontal synchronization signals.
17
18Purpose of the soc-camera subsystem
19-----------------------------------
20
21The soc-camera subsystem provides a unified API between camera host drivers and
22camera sensor drivers. It implements a V4L2 interface to the user, currently
23only the mmap method is supported.
24
25This subsystem has been written to connect drivers for System-on-Chip (SoC)
26video capture interfaces with drivers for CMOS camera sensor chips to enable
27the reuse of sensor drivers with various hosts. The subsystem has been designed
28to support multiple camera host interfaces and multiple cameras per interface,
29although most applications have only one camera sensor.
30
31Existing drivers
32----------------
33
34As of 2.6.27-rc4 there are two host drivers in the mainline: pxa_camera.c for
35PXA27x SoCs and sh_mobile_ceu_camera.c for SuperH SoCs, and four sensor drivers:
36mt9m001.c, mt9m111.c, mt9v022.c and a generic soc_camera_platform.c driver. This
37list is not supposed to be updated, look for more examples in your tree.
38
39Camera host API
40---------------
41
42A host camera driver is registered using the
43
44soc_camera_host_register(struct soc_camera_host *);
45
46function. The host object can be initialized as follows:
47
48static struct soc_camera_host pxa_soc_camera_host = {
49 .drv_name = PXA_CAM_DRV_NAME,
50 .ops = &pxa_soc_camera_host_ops,
51};
52
53All camera host methods are passed in a struct soc_camera_host_ops:
54
55static struct soc_camera_host_ops pxa_soc_camera_host_ops = {
56 .owner = THIS_MODULE,
57 .add = pxa_camera_add_device,
58 .remove = pxa_camera_remove_device,
59 .suspend = pxa_camera_suspend,
60 .resume = pxa_camera_resume,
61 .set_fmt_cap = pxa_camera_set_fmt_cap,
62 .try_fmt_cap = pxa_camera_try_fmt_cap,
63 .init_videobuf = pxa_camera_init_videobuf,
64 .reqbufs = pxa_camera_reqbufs,
65 .poll = pxa_camera_poll,
66 .querycap = pxa_camera_querycap,
67 .try_bus_param = pxa_camera_try_bus_param,
68 .set_bus_param = pxa_camera_set_bus_param,
69};
70
71.add and .remove methods are called when a sensor is attached to or detached
72from the host, apart from performing host-internal tasks they shall also call
73sensor driver's .init and .release methods respectively. .suspend and .resume
74methods implement host's power-management functionality and its their
75responsibility to call respective sensor's methods. .try_bus_param and
76.set_bus_param are used to negotiate physical connection parameters between the
77host and the sensor. .init_videobuf is called by soc-camera core when a
78video-device is opened, further video-buffer management is implemented completely
79by the specific camera host driver. The rest of the methods are called from
80respective V4L2 operations.
81
82Camera API
83----------
84
85Sensor drivers can use struct soc_camera_link, typically provided by the
86platform, and used to specify to which camera host bus the sensor is connected,
87and arbitrarily provide platform .power and .reset methods for the camera.
88soc_camera_device_register() and soc_camera_device_unregister() functions are
89used to add a sensor driver to or remove one from the system. The registration
90function takes a pointer to struct soc_camera_device as the only parameter.
91This struct can be initialized as follows:
92
93 /* link to driver operations */
94 icd->ops = &mt9m001_ops;
95 /* link to the underlying physical (e.g., i2c) device */
96 icd->control = &client->dev;
97 /* window geometry */
98 icd->x_min = 20;
99 icd->y_min = 12;
100 icd->x_current = 20;
101 icd->y_current = 12;
102 icd->width_min = 48;
103 icd->width_max = 1280;
104 icd->height_min = 32;
105 icd->height_max = 1024;
106 icd->y_skip_top = 1;
107 /* camera bus ID, typically obtained from platform data */
108 icd->iface = icl->bus_id;
109
110struct soc_camera_ops provides .probe and .remove methods, which are called by
111the soc-camera core, when a camera is matched against or removed from a camera
112host bus, .init, .release, .suspend, and .resume are called from the camera host
113driver as discussed above. Other members of this struct provide respective V4L2
114functionality.
115
116struct soc_camera_device also links to an array of struct soc_camera_data_format,
117listing pixel formats, supported by the camera.
