61 | The syncppp drivers in Linux provide a fairly complete | ||
62 | implementation of Cisco HDLC and a minimal implementation of | ||
63 | PPP. The longer term goal is to switch the PPP layer to the | ||
64 | generic PPP interface that is new in Linux 2.3.x. The API should | ||
65 | remain unchanged when this is done, but support will then be | ||
66 | available for IPX, compression and other PPP features | ||

1 | Using hlist_nulls to protect read-mostly linked lists and | ||
2 | objects using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU allocations. | ||
3 | |||
4 | Please read the basics in Documentation/RCU/listRCU.txt | ||
5 | |||
6 | Using special makers (called 'nulls') is a convenient way | ||
7 | to solve following problem : | ||
8 | |||
9 | A typical RCU linked list managing objects which are | ||
10 | allocated with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU kmem_cache can | ||
11 | use following algos : | ||
12 | |||
13 | 1) Lookup algo | ||
14 | -------------- | ||
15 | rcu_read_lock() | ||
16 | begin: | ||
17 | obj = lockless_lookup(key); | ||
18 | if (obj) { | ||
19 | if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects | ||
20 | goto begin; | ||
21 | /* | ||
22 | * Because a writer could delete object, and a writer could | ||
23 | * reuse these object before the RCU grace period, we | ||
24 | * must check key after geting the reference on object | ||
25 | */ | ||
26 | if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected | ||
27 | put_ref(obj); | ||
28 | goto begin; | ||
29 | } | ||
30 | } | ||
31 | rcu_read_unlock(); | ||
32 | |||
33 | Beware that lockless_lookup(key) cannot use traditional hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() | ||
34 | but a version with an additional memory barrier (smp_rmb()) | ||
35 | |||
36 | lockless_lookup(key) | ||
37 | { | ||
38 | struct hlist_node *node, *next; | ||
39 | for (pos = rcu_dereference((head)->first); | ||
40 | pos && ({ next = pos->next; smp_rmb(); prefetch(next); 1; }) && | ||
41 | ({ tpos = hlist_entry(pos, typeof(*tpos), member); 1; }); | ||
42 | pos = rcu_dereference(next)) | ||
43 | if (obj->key == key) | ||
44 | return obj; | ||
45 | return NULL; | ||
46 | |||
47 | And note the traditional hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() misses this smp_rmb() : | ||
48 | |||
49 | struct hlist_node *node; | ||
50 | for (pos = rcu_dereference((head)->first); | ||
51 | pos && ({ prefetch(pos->next); 1; }) && | ||
52 | ({ tpos = hlist_entry(pos, typeof(*tpos), member); 1; }); | ||
53 | pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next)) | ||
54 | if (obj->key == key) | ||
55 | return obj; | ||
56 | return NULL; | ||
57 | } | ||
58 | |||
59 | Quoting Corey Minyard : | ||
60 | |||
61 | "If the object is moved from one list to another list in-between the | ||
62 | time the hash is calculated and the next field is accessed, and the | ||
63 | object has moved to the end of a new list, the traversal will not | ||
64 | complete properly on the list it should have, since the object will | ||
65 | be on the end of the new list and there's not a way to tell it's on a | ||
66 | new list and restart the list traversal. I think that this can be | ||
67 | solved by pre-fetching the "next" field (with proper barriers) before | ||
68 | checking the key." | ||
69 | |||
70 | 2) Insert algo : | ||
71 | ---------------- | ||
72 | |||
73 | We need to make sure a reader cannot read the new 'obj->obj_next' value | ||
74 | and previous value of 'obj->key'. Or else, an item could be deleted | ||
75 | from a chain, and inserted into another chain. If new chain was empty | ||
76 | before the move, 'next' pointer is NULL, and lockless reader can | ||
77 | not detect it missed following items in original chain. | ||
78 | |||
79 | /* | ||
80 | * Please note that new inserts are done at the head of list, | ||
81 | * not in the middle or end. | ||
82 | */ | ||
83 | obj = kmem_cache_alloc(...); | ||
84 | lock_chain(); // typically a spin_lock() | ||
85 | obj->key = key; | ||
86 | atomic_inc(&obj->refcnt); | ||
87 | /* | ||
88 | * we need to make sure obj->key is updated before obj->next | ||
89 | */ | ||
90 | smp_wmb(); | ||
91 | hlist_add_head_rcu(&obj->obj_node, list); | ||
92 | unlock_chain(); // typically a spin_unlock() | ||
93 | |||
94 | |||
95 | 3) Remove algo | ||
96 | -------------- | ||
97 | Nothing special here, we can use a standard RCU hlist deletion. | ||
98 | But thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, beware a deleted object can be reused | ||
99 | very very fast (before the end of RCU grace period) | ||
100 | |||
101 | if (put_last_reference_on(obj) { | ||
102 | lock_chain(); // typically a spin_lock() | ||
103 | hlist_del_init_rcu(&obj->obj_node); | ||
104 | unlock_chain(); // typically a spin_unlock() | ||
105 | kmem_cache_free(cachep, obj); | ||
106 | } | ||
107 | |||
108 | |||
109 | |||
110 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
111 | With hlist_nulls we can avoid extra smp_rmb() in lockless_lookup() | ||
112 | and extra smp_wmb() in insert function. | ||
113 | |||
114 | For example, if we choose to store the slot number as the 'nulls' | ||
115 | end-of-list marker for each slot of the hash table, we can detect | ||
116 | a race (some writer did a delete and/or a move of an object | ||
117 | to another chain) checking the final 'nulls' value if | ||
118 | the lookup met the end of chain. If final 'nulls' value | ||
119 | is not the slot number, then we must restart the lookup at | ||
120 | the begining. If the object was moved to same chain, | ||
121 | then the reader doesnt care : It might eventually | ||
122 | scan the list again without harm. | ||
123 | |||
124 | |||
125 | 1) lookup algo | ||
126 | |||
127 | head = &table[slot]; | ||
128 | rcu_read_lock(); | ||
129 | begin: | ||
130 | hlist_nulls_for_each_entry_rcu(obj, node, head, member) { | ||

136 | goto begin; | ||
137 | } | ||
138 | goto out; | ||
139 | } | ||
140 | /* | ||
141 | * if the nulls value we got at the end of this lookup is | ||
142 | * not the expected one, we must restart lookup. | ||
143 | * We probably met an item that was moved to another chain. | ||
144 | */ | ||

147 | obj = NULL; | ||

1 | CPU Accounting Controller | ||
2 | ------------------------- | ||
3 | |||
4 | The CPU accounting controller is used to group tasks using cgroups and | ||
5 | account the CPU usage of these groups of tasks. | ||
6 | |||
7 | The CPU accounting controller supports multi-hierarchy groups. An accounting | ||
8 | group accumulates the CPU usage of all of its child groups and the tasks | ||
9 | directly present in its group. | ||
10 | |||
11 | Accounting groups can be created by first mounting the cgroup filesystem. | ||
12 | |||
13 | # mkdir /cgroups | ||
14 | # mount -t cgroup -ocpuacct none /cgroups | ||
15 | |||
16 | With the above step, the initial or the parent accounting group | ||
17 | becomes visible at /cgroups. At bootup, this group includes all the | ||
18 | tasks in the system. /cgroups/tasks lists the tasks in this cgroup. | ||
19 | /cgroups/cpuacct.usage gives the CPU time (in nanoseconds) obtained by | ||
20 | this group which is essentially the CPU time obtained by all the tasks | ||
21 | in the system. | ||
22 | |||
23 | New accounting groups can be created under the parent group /cgroups. | ||
24 | |||
25 | # cd /cgroups | ||
26 | # mkdir g1 | ||
27 | # echo $$ > g1 | ||
28 | |||
29 | The above steps create a new group g1 and move the current shell | ||
30 | process (bash) into it. CPU time consumed by this bash and its children | ||
31 | can be obtained from g1/cpuacct.usage and the same is accumulated in | ||
32 | /cgroups/cpuacct.usage also. | ||

28 | ======== | ||
29 | OVERVIEW | ||
30 | ======== | ||
31 | |||
32 | There are several parts to the security check performed by Linux when one | ||
33 | object acts upon another: | ||
34 | |||
35 | (1) Objects. | ||
36 | |||
37 | Objects are things in the system that may be acted upon directly by | ||
38 | userspace programs. Linux has a variety of actionable objects, including: | ||
39 | |||
40 | - Tasks | ||
41 | - Files/inodes | ||
42 | - Sockets | ||
43 | - Message queues | ||
44 | - Shared memory segments | ||
45 | - Semaphores | ||
46 | - Keys | ||
47 | |||
48 | As a part of the description of all these objects there is a set of | ||
49 | credentials. What's in the set depends on the type of object. | ||
50 | |||
51 | (2) Object ownership. | ||
52 | |||
53 | Amongst the credentials of most objects, there will be a subset that | ||
54 | indicates the ownership of that object. This is used for resource | ||
55 | accounting and limitation (disk quotas and task rlimits for example). | ||
56 | |||
57 | In a standard UNIX filesystem, for instance, this will be defined by the | ||
58 | UID marked on the inode. | ||
59 | |||
60 | (3) The objective context. | ||
61 | |||
62 | Also amongst the credentials of those objects, there will be a subset that | ||
63 | indicates the 'objective context' of that object. This may or may not be | ||
64 | the same set as in (2) - in standard UNIX files, for instance, this is the | ||
65 | defined by the UID and the GID marked on the inode. | ||
66 | |||
67 | The objective context is used as part of the security calculation that is | ||
68 | carried out when an object is acted upon. | ||
69 | |||
70 | (4) Subjects. | ||
71 | |||
72 | A subject is an object that is acting upon another object. | ||
73 | |||
74 | Most of the objects in the system are inactive: they don't act on other | ||
75 | objects within the system. Processes/tasks are the obvious exception: | ||
76 | they do stuff; they access and manipulate things. | ||
77 | |||
78 | Objects other than tasks may under some circumstances also be subjects. | ||
79 | For instance an open file may send SIGIO to a task using the UID and EUID | ||
80 | given to it by a task that called fcntl(F_SETOWN) upon it. In this case, | ||
81 | the file struct will have a subjective context too. | ||
82 | |||
83 | (5) The subjective context. | ||
84 | |||
85 | A subject has an additional interpretation of its credentials. A subset | ||
86 | of its credentials forms the 'subjective context'. The subjective context | ||
87 | is used as part of the security calculation that is carried out when a | ||
88 | subject acts. | ||
89 | |||
90 | A Linux task, for example, has the FSUID, FSGID and the supplementary | ||
91 | group list for when it is acting upon a file - which are quite separate | ||
92 | from the real UID and GID that normally form the objective context of the | ||
93 | task. | ||
94 | |||
95 | (6) Actions. | ||
96 | |||
97 | Linux has a number of actions available that a subject may perform upon an | ||
98 | object. The set of actions available depends on the nature of the subject | ||
99 | and the object. | ||
100 | |||
101 | Actions include reading, writing, creating and deleting files; forking or | ||
102 | signalling and tracing tasks. | ||
103 | |||
104 | (7) Rules, access control lists and security calculations. | ||
105 | |||
106 | When a subject acts upon an object, a security calculation is made. This | ||
107 | involves taking the subjective context, the objective context and the | ||
108 | action, and searching one or more sets of rules to see whether the subject | ||
109 | is granted or denied permission to act in the desired manner on the | ||
110 | object, given those contexts. | ||
111 | |||
112 | There are two main sources of rules: | ||
113 | |||
114 | (a) Discretionary access control (DAC): | ||
115 | |||
116 | Sometimes the object will include sets of rules as part of its | ||
117 | description. This is an 'Access Control List' or 'ACL'. A Linux | ||
118 | file may supply more than one ACL. | ||
119 | |||
120 | A traditional UNIX file, for example, includes a permissions mask that | ||
121 | is an abbreviated ACL with three fixed classes of subject ('user', | ||
122 | 'group' and 'other'), each of which may be granted certain privileges | ||
123 | ('read', 'write' and 'execute' - whatever those map to for the object | ||
124 | in question). UNIX file permissions do not allow the arbitrary | ||
125 | specification of subjects, however, and so are of limited use. | ||
126 | |||
127 | A Linux file might also sport a POSIX ACL. This is a list of rules | ||
128 | that grants various permissions to arbitrary subjects. | ||
129 | |||
130 | (b) Mandatory access control (MAC): | ||
131 | |||
132 | The system as a whole may have one or more sets of rules that get | ||
133 | applied to all subjects and objects, regardless of their source. | ||
134 | SELinux and Smack are examples of this. | ||
135 | |||
136 | In the case of SELinux and Smack, each object is given a label as part | ||
137 | of its credentials. When an action is requested, they take the | ||
138 | subject label, the object label and the action and look for a rule | ||
139 | that says that this action is either granted or denied. | ||
140 | |||
141 | |||
142 | ==================== | ||
143 | TYPES OF CREDENTIALS | ||
144 | ==================== | ||
145 | |||
146 | The Linux kernel supports the following types of credentials: | ||
147 | |||
148 | (1) Traditional UNIX credentials. | ||
149 | |||
150 | Real User ID | ||
151 | Real Group ID | ||
152 | |||
153 | The UID and GID are carried by most, if not all, Linux objects, even if in | ||
154 | some cases it has to be invented (FAT or CIFS files for example, which are | ||
155 | derived from Windows). These (mostly) define the objective context of | ||
156 | that object, with tasks being slightly different in some cases. | ||
157 | |||
158 | Effective, Saved and FS User ID | ||
159 | Effective, Saved and FS Group ID | ||
160 | Supplementary groups | ||
161 | |||
162 | These are additional credentials used by tasks only. Usually, an | ||
163 | EUID/EGID/GROUPS will be used as the subjective context, and real UID/GID | ||
164 | will be used as the objective. For tasks, it should be noted that this is | ||
165 | not always true. | ||
166 | |||
167 | (2) Capabilities. | ||
168 | |||
169 | Set of permitted capabilities | ||
170 | Set of inheritable capabilities | ||
171 | Set of effective capabilities | ||
172 | Capability bounding set | ||
173 | |||
174 | These are only carried by tasks. They indicate superior capabilities | ||
175 | granted piecemeal to a task that an ordinary task wouldn't otherwise have. | ||
176 | These are manipulated implicitly by changes to the traditional UNIX | ||
177 | credentials, but can also be manipulated directly by the capset() system | ||
178 | call. | ||
179 | |||
180 | The permitted capabilities are those caps that the process might grant | ||
181 | itself to its effective or permitted sets through capset(). This | ||
182 | inheritable set might also be so constrained. | ||
183 | |||
184 | The effective capabilities are the ones that a task is actually allowed to | ||
185 | make use of itself. | ||
186 | |||
187 | The inheritable capabilities are the ones that may get passed across | ||
188 | execve(). | ||
189 | |||
190 | The bounding set limits the capabilities that may be inherited across | ||
191 | execve(), especially when a binary is executed that will execute as UID 0. | ||
192 | |||
193 | (3) Secure management flags (securebits). | ||
194 | |||
195 | These are only carried by tasks. These govern the way the above | ||
196 | credentials are manipulated and inherited over certain operations such as | ||
197 | execve(). They aren't used directly as objective or subjective | ||
198 | credentials. | ||
199 | |||
200 | (4) Keys and keyrings. | ||
201 | |||
202 | These are only carried by tasks. They carry and cache security tokens | ||
203 | that don't fit into the other standard UNIX credentials. They are for | ||
204 | making such things as network filesystem keys available to the file | ||
205 | accesses performed by processes, without the necessity of ordinary | ||
206 | programs having to know about security details involved. | ||
207 | |||
208 | Keyrings are a special type of key. They carry sets of other keys and can | ||
209 | be searched for the desired key. Each process may subscribe to a number | ||
210 | of keyrings: | ||
211 | |||
212 | Per-thread keying | ||
213 | Per-process keyring | ||
214 | Per-session keyring | ||
215 | |||
216 | When a process accesses a key, if not already present, it will normally be | ||
217 | cached on one of these keyrings for future accesses to find. | ||
218 | |||
219 | For more information on using keys, see Documentation/keys.txt. | ||
220 | |||
221 | (5) LSM | ||
222 | |||
223 | The Linux Security Module allows extra controls to be placed over the | ||
224 | operations that a task may do. Currently Linux supports two main | ||
225 | alternate LSM options: SELinux and Smack. | ||
226 | |||
227 | Both work by labelling the objects in a system and then applying sets of | ||
228 | rules (policies) that say what operations a task with one label may do to | ||
229 | an object with another label. | ||
230 | |||
231 | (6) AF_KEY | ||
232 | |||
233 | This is a socket-based approach to credential management for networking | ||
234 | stacks [RFC 2367]. It isn't discussed by this document as it doesn't | ||
235 | interact directly with task and file credentials; rather it keeps system | ||
236 | level credentials. | ||
237 | |||
238 | |||
239 | When a file is opened, part of the opening task's subjective context is | ||
240 | recorded in the file struct created. This allows operations using that file | ||
241 | struct to use those credentials instead of the subjective context of the task | ||
242 | that issued the operation. An example of this would be a file opened on a | ||
243 | network filesystem where the credentials of the opened file should be presented | ||
244 | to the server, regardless of who is actually doing a read or a write upon it. | ||
245 | |||
246 | |||
247 | ============= | ||
248 | FILE MARKINGS | ||
249 | ============= | ||
250 | |||
251 | Files on disk or obtained over the network may have annotations that form the | ||
252 | objective security context of that file. Depending on the type of filesystem, | ||
253 | this may include one or more of the following: | ||
254 | |||
255 | (*) UNIX UID, GID, mode; | ||
256 | |||
257 | (*) Windows user ID; | ||
258 | |||
259 | (*) Access control list; | ||
260 | |||
261 | (*) LSM security label; | ||
262 | |||
263 | (*) UNIX exec privilege escalation bits (SUID/SGID); | ||
264 | |||
265 | (*) File capabilities exec privilege escalation bits. | ||
266 | |||
267 | These are compared to the task's subjective security context, and certain | ||
268 | operations allowed or disallowed as a result. In the case of execve(), the | ||
269 | privilege escalation bits come into play, and may allow the resulting process | ||
270 | extra privileges, based on the annotations on the executable file. | ||
271 | |||
272 | |||
273 | ================ | ||
274 | TASK CREDENTIALS | ||
275 | ================ | ||
276 | |||
277 | In Linux, all of a task's credentials are held in (uid, gid) or through | ||
278 | (groups, keys, LSM security) a refcounted structure of type 'struct cred'. | ||
279 | Each task points to its credentials by a pointer called 'cred' in its | ||
280 | task_struct. | ||
281 | |||
282 | Once a set of credentials has been prepared and committed, it may not be | ||
283 | changed, barring the following exceptions: | ||
284 | |||
285 | (1) its reference count may be changed; | ||
286 | |||
287 | (2) the reference count on the group_info struct it points to may be changed; | ||
288 | |||
289 | (3) the reference count on the security data it points to may be changed; | ||
290 | |||
291 | (4) the reference count on any keyrings it points to may be changed; | ||
292 | |||
293 | (5) any keyrings it points to may be revoked, expired or have their security | ||
294 | attributes changed; and | ||
295 | |||
296 | (6) the contents of any keyrings to which it points may be changed (the whole | ||
297 | point of keyrings being a shared set of credentials, modifiable by anyone | ||
298 | with appropriate access). | ||
299 | |||
300 | To alter anything in the cred struct, the copy-and-replace principle must be | ||
301 | adhered to. First take a copy, then alter the copy and then use RCU to change | ||
302 | the task pointer to make it point to the new copy. There are wrappers to aid | ||
303 | with this (see below). | ||
304 | |||
305 | A task may only alter its _own_ credentials; it is no longer permitted for a | ||
306 | task to alter another's credentials. This means the capset() system call is no | ||
307 | longer permitted to take any PID other than the one of the current process. | ||
308 | Also keyctl_instantiate() and keyctl_negate() functions no longer permit | ||
309 | attachment to process-specific keyrings in the requesting process as the | ||
310 | instantiating process may need to create them. | ||
311 | |||
312 | |||
313 | IMMUTABLE CREDENTIALS | ||
314 | --------------------- | ||
315 | |||
316 | Once a set of credentials has been made public (by calling commit_creds() for | ||
317 | example), it must be considered immutable, barring two exceptions: | ||
318 | |||
319 | (1) The reference count may be altered. | ||
320 | |||
321 | (2) Whilst the keyring subscriptions of a set of credentials may not be | ||
322 | changed, the keyrings subscribed to may have their contents altered. | ||
323 | |||
324 | To catch accidental credential alteration at compile time, struct task_struct | ||
325 | has _const_ pointers to its credential sets, as does struct file. Furthermore, | ||
326 | certain functions such as get_cred() and put_cred() operate on const pointers, | ||
327 | thus rendering casts unnecessary, but require to temporarily ditch the const | ||
328 | qualification to be able to alter the reference count. | ||
329 | |||
330 | |||
331 | ACCESSING TASK CREDENTIALS | ||
332 | -------------------------- | ||
333 | |||
334 | A task being able to alter only its own credentials permits the current process | ||
335 | to read or replace its own credentials without the need for any form of locking | ||
336 | - which simplifies things greatly. It can just call: | ||
337 | |||
338 | const struct cred *current_cred() | ||
339 | |||
340 | to get a pointer to its credentials structure, and it doesn't have to release | ||
341 | it afterwards. | ||
342 | |||
343 | There are convenience wrappers for retrieving specific aspects of a task's | ||
344 | credentials (the value is simply returned in each case): | ||
345 | |||
346 | uid_t current_uid(void) Current's real UID | ||
347 | gid_t current_gid(void) Current's real GID | ||
348 | uid_t current_euid(void) Current's effective UID | ||
349 | gid_t current_egid(void) Current's effective GID | ||
350 | uid_t current_fsuid(void) Current's file access UID | ||
351 | gid_t current_fsgid(void) Current's file access GID | ||
352 | kernel_cap_t current_cap(void) Current's effective capabilities | ||
353 | void *current_security(void) Current's LSM security pointer | ||
354 | struct user_struct *current_user(void) Current's user account | ||
355 | |||
356 | There are also convenience wrappers for retrieving specific associated pairs of | ||
357 | a task's credentials: | ||
358 | |||
359 | void current_uid_gid(uid_t *, gid_t *); | ||
360 | void current_euid_egid(uid_t *, gid_t *); | ||
361 | void current_fsuid_fsgid(uid_t *, gid_t *); | ||
362 | |||
363 | which return these pairs of values through their arguments after retrieving | ||
364 | them from the current task's credentials. | ||
365 | |||
366 | |||
367 | In addition, there is a function for obtaining a reference on the current | ||
368 | process's current set of credentials: | ||
369 | |||
370 | const struct cred *get_current_cred(void); | ||
371 | |||
372 | and functions for getting references to one of the credentials that don't | ||
373 | actually live in struct cred: | ||
374 | |||
375 | struct user_struct *get_current_user(void); | ||
376 | struct group_info *get_current_groups(void); | ||
377 | |||
378 | which get references to the current process's user accounting structure and | ||
379 | supplementary groups list respectively. | ||
380 | |||
381 | Once a reference has been obtained, it must be released with put_cred(), | ||
382 | free_uid() or put_group_info() as appropriate. | ||
383 | |||
384 | |||
385 | ACCESSING ANOTHER TASK'S CREDENTIALS | ||
386 | ------------------------------------ | ||
387 | |||
388 | Whilst a task may access its own credentials without the need for locking, the | ||
389 | same is not true of a task wanting to access another task's credentials. It | ||
390 | must use the RCU read lock and rcu_dereference(). | ||
391 | |||
392 | The rcu_dereference() is wrapped by: | ||
393 | |||
394 | const struct cred *__task_cred(struct task_struct *task); | ||
395 | |||
396 | This should be used inside the RCU read lock, as in the following example: | ||
397 | |||
398 | void foo(struct task_struct *t, struct foo_data *f) | ||
399 | { | ||
400 | const struct cred *tcred; | ||
401 | ... | ||
402 | rcu_read_lock(); | ||
403 | tcred = __task_cred(t); | ||
404 | f->uid = tcred->uid; | ||
405 | f->gid = tcred->gid; | ||
406 | f->groups = get_group_info(tcred->groups); | ||
407 | rcu_read_unlock(); | ||
408 | ... | ||
409 | } | ||
410 | |||
411 | A function need not get RCU read lock to use __task_cred() if it is holding a | ||
412 | spinlock at the time as this implicitly holds the RCU read lock. | ||
413 | |||
414 | Should it be necessary to hold another task's credentials for a long period of | ||
415 | time, and possibly to sleep whilst doing so, then the caller should get a | ||
416 | reference on them using: | ||
417 | |||
418 | const struct cred *get_task_cred(struct task_struct *task); | ||
419 | |||
420 | This does all the RCU magic inside of it. The caller must call put_cred() on | ||
421 | the credentials so obtained when they're finished with. | ||
422 | |||
423 | There are a couple of convenience functions to access bits of another task's | ||
424 | credentials, hiding the RCU magic from the caller: | ||
425 | |||
426 | uid_t task_uid(task) Task's real UID | ||
427 | uid_t task_euid(task) Task's effective UID | ||
428 | |||
429 | If the caller is holding a spinlock or the RCU read lock at the time anyway, | ||
430 | then: | ||
431 | |||
432 | __task_cred(task)->uid | ||
433 | __task_cred(task)->euid | ||
434 | |||
435 | should be used instead. Similarly, if multiple aspects of a task's credentials | ||
436 | need to be accessed, RCU read lock or a spinlock should be used, __task_cred() | ||
437 | called, the result stored in a temporary pointer and then the credential | ||
438 | aspects called from that before dropping the lock. This prevents the | ||
439 | potentially expensive RCU magic from being invoked multiple times. | ||
440 | |||
441 | Should some other single aspect of another task's credentials need to be | ||
442 | accessed, then this can be used: | ||
443 | |||
444 | task_cred_xxx(task, member) | ||
445 | |||
446 | where 'member' is a non-pointer member of the cred struct. For instance: | ||
447 | |||
448 | uid_t task_cred_xxx(task, suid); | ||
449 | |||
450 | will retrieve 'struct cred::suid' from the task, doing the appropriate RCU | ||
451 | magic. This may not be used for pointer members as what they point to may | ||
452 | disappear the moment the RCU read lock is dropped. | ||
453 | |||
454 | |||
455 | ALTERING CREDENTIALS | ||
456 | -------------------- | ||
457 | |||
458 | As previously mentioned, a task may only alter its own credentials, and may not | ||
459 | alter those of another task. This means that it doesn't need to use any | ||
460 | locking to alter its own credentials. | ||
461 | |||
462 | To alter the current process's credentials, a function should first prepare a | ||
463 | new set of credentials by calling: | ||
464 | |||
465 | struct cred *prepare_creds(void); | ||
466 | |||
467 | this locks current->cred_replace_mutex and then allocates and constructs a | ||
468 | duplicate of the current process's credentials, returning with the mutex still | ||
469 | held if successful. It returns NULL if not successful (out of memory). | ||
470 | |||
471 | The mutex prevents ptrace() from altering the ptrace state of a process whilst | ||
472 | security checks on credentials construction and changing is taking place as | ||
473 | the ptrace state may alter the outcome, particularly in the case of execve(). | ||
474 | |||
475 | The new credentials set should be altered appropriately, and any security | ||
476 | checks and hooks done. Both the current and the proposed sets of credentials | ||
477 | are available for this purpose as current_cred() will return the current set | ||
478 | still at this point. | ||
479 | |||
480 | |||
481 | When the credential set is ready, it should be committed to the current process | ||
482 | by calling: | ||
483 | |||
484 | int commit_creds(struct cred *new); | ||
485 | |||
486 | This will alter various aspects of the credentials and the process, giving the | ||
487 | LSM a chance to do likewise, then it will use rcu_assign_pointer() to actually | ||
488 | commit the new credentials to current->cred, it will release | ||
489 | current->cred_replace_mutex to allow ptrace() to take place, and it will notify | ||
490 | the scheduler and others of the changes. | ||
491 | |||
492 | This function is guaranteed to return 0, so that it can be tail-called at the | ||
493 | end of such functions as sys_setresuid(). | ||
494 | |||
495 | Note that this function consumes the caller's reference to the new credentials. | ||
496 | The caller should _not_ call put_cred() on the new credentials afterwards. | ||
497 | |||
498 | Furthermore, once this function has been called on a new set of credentials, | ||
499 | those credentials may _not_ be changed further. | ||
500 | |||
501 | |||
502 | Should the security checks fail or some other error occur after prepare_creds() | ||
503 | has been called, then the following function should be invoked: | ||
504 | |||
505 | void abort_creds(struct cred *new); | ||
506 | |||
507 | This releases the lock on current->cred_replace_mutex that prepare_creds() got | ||
508 | and then releases the new credentials. | ||
509 | |||
510 | |||
511 | A typical credentials alteration function would look something like this: | ||
512 | |||
513 | int alter_suid(uid_t suid) | ||
514 | { | ||
515 | struct cred *new; | ||
516 | int ret; | ||
517 | |||
518 | new = prepare_creds(); | ||
519 | if (!new) | ||
520 | return -ENOMEM; | ||
521 | |||
522 | new->suid = suid; | ||
523 | ret = security_alter_suid(new); | ||
524 | if (ret < 0) { | ||
525 | abort_creds(new); | ||
526 | return ret; | ||
527 | } | ||
528 | |||
529 | return commit_creds(new); | ||
530 | } | ||
531 | |||
532 | |||
533 | MANAGING CREDENTIALS | ||
534 | -------------------- | ||
535 | |||
536 | There are some functions to help manage credentials: | ||
537 | |||
538 | (*) void put_cred(const struct cred *cred); | ||
539 | |||
540 | This releases a reference to the given set of credentials. If the | ||
541 | reference count reaches zero, the credentials will be scheduled for | ||
542 | destruction by the RCU system. | ||
543 | |||
544 | (*) const struct cred *get_cred(const struct cred *cred); | ||
545 | |||
546 | This gets a reference on a live set of credentials, returning a pointer to | ||
547 | that set of credentials. | ||
548 | |||
549 | (*) struct cred *get_new_cred(struct cred *cred); | ||
550 | |||
551 | This gets a reference on a set of credentials that is under construction | ||
552 | and is thus still mutable, returning a pointer to that set of credentials. | ||
553 | |||
554 | |||
555 | ===================== | ||
556 | OPEN FILE CREDENTIALS | ||
557 | ===================== | ||
558 | |||
559 | When a new file is opened, a reference is obtained on the opening task's | ||
560 | credentials and this is attached to the file struct as 'f_cred' in place of | ||
561 | 'f_uid' and 'f_gid'. Code that used to access file->f_uid and file->f_gid | ||
562 | should now access file->f_cred->fsuid and file->f_cred->fsgid. | ||
563 | |||
564 | It is safe to access f_cred without the use of RCU or locking because the | ||
565 | pointer will not change over the lifetime of the file struct, and nor will the | ||
566 | contents of the cred struct pointed to, barring the exceptions listed above | ||
567 | (see the Task Credentials section). | ||
568 | |||
569 | |||
570 | ======================================= | ||
571 | OVERRIDING THE VFS'S USE OF CREDENTIALS | ||
572 | ======================================= | ||
573 | |||
574 | Under some circumstances it is desirable to override the credentials used by | ||
575 | the VFS, and that can be done by calling into such as vfs_mkdir() with a | ||
576 | different set of credentials. This is done in the following places: | ||
577 | |||
578 | (*) sys_faccessat(). | ||
579 | |||
580 | (*) do_coredump(). | ||
581 | |||
582 | (*) nfs4recover.c. | ||

279 | User namespaces are intended to be hierarchical. But they are currently | ||

282 | First, since user namespaces are hierarchical, the /sys/kernel/uids | ||

286 | |||
287 | Second, the hierarchical nature is intended to support completely | ||

289 | we want the users in a user namespace to be children of the user | ||
290 | who created it. | ||
291 | |||
292 | That is currently unimplemented. So instead, every user in a new | ||

2 | This file describes the configuration and behavior of KGDB for the SH | ||
3 | kernel. Based on a description from Henry Bell <henry.bell@st.com>, it | ||
4 | has been modified to account for quirks in the current implementation. | ||
5 | |||
6 | Version | ||
7 | ======= | ||
8 | |||
9 | This version of KGDB was written for 2.4.xx kernels for the SH architecture. | ||
10 | Further documentation is available from the linux-sh project website. | ||
11 | |||
12 | |||
13 | Debugging Setup: Host | ||
14 | ====================== | ||
15 | |||
16 | The two machines will be connected together via a serial line - this | ||
17 | should be a null modem cable i.e. with a twist. | ||
18 | |||
19 | On your DEVELOPMENT machine, go to your kernel source directory and | ||
20 | build the kernel, enabling KGDB support in the "kernel hacking" section. | ||
21 | This includes the KGDB code, and also makes the kernel be compiled with | ||
22 | the "-g" option set -- necessary for debugging. | ||
23 | |||
24 | To install this new kernel, use the following installation procedure. | ||
25 | |||
26 | Decide on which tty port you want the machines to communicate, then | ||
27 | cable them up back-to-back using the null modem. On the DEVELOPMENT | ||
28 | machine, you may wish to create an initialization file called .gdbinit | ||
29 | (in the kernel source directory or in your home directory) to execute | ||
30 | commonly-used commands at startup. | ||
31 | |||
32 | A minimal .gdbinit might look like this: | ||
33 | |||
34 | file vmlinux | ||
35 | set remotebaud 115200 | ||
36 | target remote /dev/ttyS0 | ||
37 | |||
38 | Change the "target" definition so that it specifies the tty port that | ||
39 | you intend to use. Change the "remotebaud" definition to match the | ||
40 | data rate that you are going to use for the com line (115200 is the | ||
41 | default). | ||
42 | |||
43 | Debugging Setup: Target | ||
44 | ======================== | ||
45 | |||
46 | By default, the KGDB stub will communicate with the host GDB using | ||
47 | ttySC1 at 115200 baud, 8 databits, no parity; these defaults can be | ||
48 | changed in the kernel configuration. As the kernel starts up, KGDB will | ||
49 | initialize so that breakpoints, kernel segfaults, and so forth will | ||
50 | generally enter the debugger. | ||
51 | |||
52 | This behavior can be modified by including the "kgdb" option in the | ||
53 | kernel command line; this option has the general form: | ||
54 | |||
55 | kgdb=<ttyspec>,<action> | ||
56 | |||
57 | The <ttyspec> indicates the port to use, and can optionally specify | ||
58 | baud, parity and databits -- e.g. "ttySC0,9600N8" or "ttySC1,19200". | ||
59 | |||
60 | The <action> can be "halt" or "disabled". The "halt" action enters the | ||
61 | debugger via a breakpoint as soon as kgdb is initialized; the "disabled" | ||
62 | action causes kgdb to ignore kernel segfaults and such until explicitly | ||
63 | entered by a breakpoint in the code or by external action (sysrq or NMI). | ||
64 | |||
65 | (Both <ttyspec> and <action> can appear alone, w/o the separating comma.) | ||
66 | |||
67 | For example, if you wish to debug early in kernel startup code, you | ||
68 | might specify the halt option: | ||
69 | |||
70 | kgdb=halt | ||
71 | |||
72 | Boot the TARGET machine, which will appear to hang. | ||
73 | |||
74 | On your DEVELOPMENT machine, cd to the source directory and run the gdb | ||
75 | program. (This is likely to be a cross GDB which runs on your host but | ||
76 | is built for an SH target.) If everything is working correctly you | ||
77 | should see gdb print out a few lines indicating that a breakpoint has | ||
78 | been taken. It will actually show a line of code in the target kernel | ||
79 | inside the gdbstub activation code. | ||
80 | |||
81 | NOTE: BE SURE TO TERMINATE OR SUSPEND any other host application which | ||
82 | may be using the same serial port (for example, a terminal emulator you | ||
83 | have been using to connect to the target boot code.) Otherwise, data | ||
84 | from the target may not all get to GDB! | ||
85 | |||
86 | You can now use whatever gdb commands you like to set breakpoints. | ||
87 | Enter "continue" to start your target machine executing again. At this | ||
88 | point the target system will run at full speed until it encounters | ||
89 | your breakpoint or gets a segment violation in the kernel, or whatever. | ||
90 | |||
91 | Serial Ports: KGDB, Console | ||
92 | ============================ | ||
93 | |||
94 | This version of KGDB may not gracefully handle conflict with other | ||
95 | drivers in the kernel using the same port. If KGDB is configured on the | ||
96 | same port (and with the same parameters) as the kernel console, or if | ||
97 | CONFIG_SH_KGDB_CONSOLE is configured, things should be fine (though in | ||
98 | some cases console messages may appear twice through GDB). But if the | ||
99 | KGDB port is not the kernel console and used by another serial driver | ||
100 | which assumes different serial parameters (e.g. baud rate) KGDB may not | ||
101 | recover. | ||
102 | |||
103 | Also, when KGDB is entered via sysrq-g (requires CONFIG_KGDB_SYSRQ) and | ||
104 | the kgdb port uses the same port as the console, detaching GDB will not | ||
105 | restore the console to working order without the port being re-opened. | ||
106 | |||
107 | Another serious consequence of this is that GDB currently CANNOT break | ||
108 | into KGDB externally (e.g. via ^C or <BREAK>); unless a breakpoint or | ||
109 | error is encountered, the only way to enter KGDB after the initial halt | ||
110 | (see above) is via NMI (CONFIG_KGDB_NMI) or sysrq-g (CONFIG_KGDB_SYSRQ). | ||
111 | |||
112 | Code is included for the basic Hitachi Solution Engine boards to allow | ||
113 | the use of ttyS0 for KGDB if desired; this is less robust, but may be | ||
114 | useful in some cases. (This cannot be selected using the config file, | ||
115 | but only through the kernel command line, e.g. "kgdb=ttyS0", though the | ||
116 | configured defaults for baud rate etc. still apply if not overridden.) | ||
117 | |||
118 | If gdbstub Does Not Work | ||
119 | ======================== | ||
120 | |||
121 | If it doesn't work, you will have to troubleshoot it. Do the easy | ||
122 | things first like double checking your cabling and data rates. You | ||
123 | might try some non-kernel based programs to see if the back-to-back | ||
124 | connection works properly. Just something simple like cat /etc/hosts | ||
125 | /dev/ttyS0 on one machine and cat /dev/ttyS0 on the other will tell you | ||
126 | if you can send data from one machine to the other. There is no point | ||
127 | in tearing out your hair in the kernel if the line doesn't work. | ||
128 | |||
129 | If you need to debug the GDB/KGDB communication itself, the gdb commands | ||
130 | "set debug remote 1" and "set debug serial 1" may be useful, but be | ||
131 | warned: they produce a lot of output. | ||
132 | |||
133 | Threads | ||
134 | ======= | ||
135 | |||
136 | Each process in a target machine is seen as a gdb thread. gdb thread related | ||
137 | commands (info threads, thread n) can be used. CONFIG_KGDB_THREAD must | ||
138 | be defined for this to work. | ||
139 | |||
140 | In this version, kgdb reports PID_MAX (32768) as the process ID for the | ||
141 | idle process (pid 0), since GDB does not accept 0 as an ID. | ||
142 | |||
143 | Detaching (exiting KGDB) | ||
144 | ========================= | ||
145 | |||
146 | There are two ways to resume full-speed target execution: "continue" and | ||
147 | "detach". With "continue", GDB inserts any specified breakpoints in the | ||
148 | target code and resumes execution; the target is still in "gdb mode". | ||
149 | If a breakpoint or other debug event (e.g. NMI) happens, the target | ||
150 | halts and communicates with GDB again, which is waiting for it. | ||
151 | |||
152 | With "detach", GDB does *not* insert any breakpoints; target execution | ||
153 | is resumed and GDB stops communicating (does not wait for the target). | ||
154 | In this case, the target is no longer in "gdb mode" -- for example, | ||
155 | console messages no longer get sent separately to the KGDB port, or | ||
156 | encapsulated for GDB. If a debug event (e.g. NMI) occurs, the target | ||
157 | will re-enter "gdb mode" and will display this fact on the console; you | ||
158 | must give a new "target remote" command to gdb. | ||
159 | |||
160 | NOTE: TO AVOID LOSSING CONSOLE MESSAGES IN CASE THE KERNEL CONSOLE AND | ||
161 | KGDB USING THE SAME PORT, THE TARGET WAITS FOR ANY INPUT CHARACTER ON | ||
162 | THE KGDB PORT AFTER A DETACH COMMAND. For example, after the detach you | ||
163 | could start a terminal emulator on the same host port and enter a <cr>; | ||
164 | however, this program must then be terminated or suspended in order to | ||
165 | use GBD again if KGDB is re-entered. | ||
166 | |||

1 | MORE NOTES ON HD-AUDIO DRIVER | ||
2 | ============================= | ||
3 | Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> | ||
4 | |||
5 | |||
6 | GENERAL | ||
7 | ------- | ||
8 | |||
9 | HD-audio is the new standard on-board audio component on modern PCs | ||
10 | after AC97. Although Linux has been supporting HD-audio since long | ||
11 | time ago, there are often problems with new machines. A part of the | ||
12 | problem is broken BIOS, and the rest is the driver implementation. | ||
13 | This document explains the brief trouble-shooting and debugging | ||
14 | methods for the HD-audio hardware. | ||
15 | |||
16 | The HD-audio component consists of two parts: the controller chip and | ||
17 | the codec chips on the HD-audio bus. Linux provides a single driver | ||
18 | for all controllers, snd-hda-intel. Although the driver name contains | ||
19 | a word of a well-known harware vendor, it's not specific to it but for | ||
20 | all controller chips by other companies. Since the HD-audio | ||
21 | controllers are supposed to be compatible, the single snd-hda-driver | ||
22 | should work in most cases. But, not surprisingly, there are known | ||
23 | bugs and issues specific to each controller type. The snd-hda-intel | ||
24 | driver has a bunch of workarounds for these as described below. | ||
25 | |||
26 | A controller may have multiple codecs. Usually you have one audio | ||
27 | codec and optionally one modem codec. In theory, there might be | ||
28 | multiple audio codecs, e.g. for analog and digital outputs, and the | ||
29 | driver might not work properly because of conflict of mixer elements. | ||
30 | This should be fixed in future if such hardware really exists. | ||
31 | |||
32 | The snd-hda-intel driver has several different codec parsers depending | ||
33 | on the codec. It has a generic parser as a fallback, but this | ||
34 | functionality is fairly limited until now. Instead of the generic | ||
35 | parser, usually the codec-specific parser (coded in patch_*.c) is used | ||
36 | for the codec-specific implementations. The details about the | ||
37 | codec-specific problems are explained in the later sections. | ||
38 | |||
39 | If you are interested in the deep debugging of HD-audio, read the | ||
40 | HD-audio specification at first. The specification is found on | ||
41 | Intel's web page, for example: | ||
42 | |||

46 | HD-AUDIO CONTROLLER | ||
47 | ------------------- | ||
48 | |||
49 | DMA-Position Problem | ||
50 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
51 | The most common problem of the controller is the inaccurate DMA | ||
52 | pointer reporting. The DMA pointer for playback and capture can be | ||
53 | read in two ways, either via a LPIB register or via a position-buffer | ||
54 | map. As default the driver tries to read from the io-mapped | ||
55 | position-buffer, and falls back to LPIB if the position-buffer appears | ||
56 | dead. However, this detection isn't perfect on some devices. In such | ||
57 | a case, you can change the default method via `position_fix` option. | ||
58 | |||
59 | `position_fix=1` means to use LPIB method explicitly. | ||
60 | `position_fix=2` means to use the position-buffer. 0 is the default | ||
61 | value, the automatic check and fallback to LPIB as described in the | ||
62 | above. If you get a problem of repeated sounds, this option might | ||
63 | help. | ||
64 | |||
65 | In addition to that, every controller is known to be broken regarding | ||
66 | the wake-up timing. It wakes up a few samples before actually | ||
67 | processing the data on the buffer. This caused a lot of problems, for | ||
68 | example, with ALSA dmix or JACK. Since 2.6.27 kernel, the driver puts | ||
69 | an artificial delay to the wake up timing. This delay is controlled | ||
70 | via `bdl_pos_adj` option. | ||
71 | |||
72 | When `bdl_pos_adj` is a negative value (as default), it's assigned to | ||
73 | an appropriate value depending on the controller chip. For Intel | ||
74 | chips, it'd be 1 while it'd be 32 for others. Usually this works. | ||
75 | Only in case it doesn't work and you get warning messages, you should | ||
76 | change this parameter to other values. | ||
77 | |||
78 | |||
79 | Codec-Probing Problem | ||
80 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
81 | A less often but a more severe problem is the codec probing. When | ||
82 | BIOS reports the available codec slots wrongly, the driver gets | ||
83 | confused and tries to access the non-existing codec slot. This often | ||
84 | results in the total screw-up, and destructs the further communication | ||
85 | with the codec chips. The symptom appears usually as error messages | ||
86 | like: | ||
87 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
88 | hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode: | ||
89 | last cmd=0x12345678 | ||
90 | hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to single_cmd mode: | ||
91 | last cmd=0x12345678 | ||
92 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
93 | |||
94 | The first line is a warning, and this is usually relatively harmless. | ||
95 | It means that the codec response isn't notified via an IRQ. The | ||
96 | driver uses explicit polling method to read the response. It gives | ||
97 | very slight CPU overhead, but you'd unlikely notice it. | ||
98 | |||
99 | The second line is, however, a fatal error. If this happens, usually | ||
100 | it means that something is really wrong. Most likely you are | ||
101 | accessing a non-existing codec slot. | ||
102 | |||
103 | Thus, if the second error message appears, try to narrow the probed | ||
104 | codec slots via `probe_mask` option. It's a bitmask, and each bit | ||
105 | corresponds to the codec slot. For example, to probe only the first | ||
106 | slot, pass `probe_mask=1`. For the first and the third slots, pass | ||
107 | `probe_mask=5` (where 5 = 1 | 4), and so on. | ||
108 | |||
109 | Since 2.6.29 kernel, the driver has a more robust probing method, so | ||
110 | this error might happen rarely, though. | ||
111 | |||
112 | |||
113 | Interrupt Handling | ||
114 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
115 | In rare but some cases, the interrupt isn't properly handled as | ||
116 | default. You would notice this by the DMA transfer error reported by | ||
117 | ALSA PCM core, for example. Using MSI might help in such a case. | ||
118 | Pass `enable_msi=1` option for enabling MSI. | ||
119 | |||
120 | |||
121 | HD-AUDIO CODEC | ||
122 | -------------- | ||
123 | |||
124 | Model Option | ||
125 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
126 | The most common problem regarding the HD-audio driver is the | ||
127 | unsupported codec features or the mismatched device configuration. | ||
128 | Most of codec-specific code has several preset models, either to | ||
129 | override the BIOS setup or to provide more comprehensive features. | ||
130 | |||
131 | The driver checks PCI SSID and looks through the static configuration | ||
132 | table until any matching entry is found. If you have a new machine, | ||
133 | you may see a message like below: | ||
134 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
135 | hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC880, trying auto-probe from BIOS... | ||
136 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
137 | Even if you see such a message, DON'T PANIC. Take a deep breath and | ||
138 | keep your towel. First of all, it's an informational message, no | ||
139 | warning, no error. This means that the PCI SSID of your device isn't | ||
140 | listed in the known preset model (white-)list. But, this doesn't mean | ||
141 | that the driver is broken. Many codec-drivers provide the automatic | ||
142 | configuration mechanism based on the BIOS setup. | ||
143 | |||
144 | The HD-audio codec has usually "pin" widgets, and BIOS sets the default | ||
145 | configuration of each pin, which indicates the location, the | ||
146 | connection type, the jack color, etc. The HD-audio driver can guess | ||
147 | the right connection judging from these default configuration values. | ||
148 | However -- some codec-support codes, such as patch_analog.c, don't | ||
149 | support the automatic probing (yet as of 2.6.28). And, BIOS is often, | ||
150 | yes, pretty often broken. It sets up wrong values and screws up the | ||
151 | driver. | ||
152 | |||
153 | The preset model is provided basically to overcome such a situation. | ||
154 | When the matching preset model is found in the white-list, the driver | ||
155 | assumes the static configuration of that preset and builds the mixer | ||
156 | elements and PCM streams based on the static information. Thus, if | ||
157 | you have a newer machine with a slightly different PCI SSID from the | ||
158 | existing one, you may have a good chance to re-use the same model. | ||
159 | You can pass the `model` option to specify the preset model instead of | ||
160 | PCI SSID look-up. | ||
161 | |||
162 | What `model` option values are available depends on the codec chip. | ||
163 | Check your codec chip from the codec proc file (see "Codec Proc-File" | ||
164 | section below). It will show the vendor/product name of your codec | ||
165 | chip. Then, see Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Modelstxt file, | ||
166 | the section of HD-audio driver. You can find a list of codecs | ||
167 | and `model` options belonging to each codec. For example, for Realtek | ||
168 | ALC262 codec chip, pass `model=ultra` for devices that are compatible | ||
169 | with Samsung Q1 Ultra. | ||
170 | |||
171 | Thus, the first thing you can do for any brand-new, unsupported and | ||
172 | non-working HD-audio hardware is to check HD-audio codec and several | ||
173 | different `model` option values. If you have a luck, some of them | ||
174 | might suit with your device well. | ||
175 | |||
176 | Some codecs such as ALC880 have a special model option `model=test`. | ||
177 | This configures the driver to provide as many mixer controls as | ||
178 | possible for every single pin feature except for the unsolicited | ||
179 | events (and maybe some other specials). Adjust each mixer element and | ||
180 | try the I/O in the way of trial-and-error until figuring out the whole | ||
181 | I/O pin mappings. | ||
182 | |||
183 | Note that `model=generic` has a special meaning. It means to use the | ||
184 | generic parser regardless of the codec. Usually the codec-specific | ||
185 | parser is much better than the generic parser (as now). Thus this | ||
186 | option is more about the debugging purpose. | ||
187 | |||
188 | |||
189 | Speaker and Headphone Output | ||
190 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
191 | One of the most frequent (and obvious) bugs with HD-audio is the | ||
192 | silent output from either or both of a built-in speaker and a | ||
193 | headphone jack. In general, you should try a headphone output at | ||
194 | first. A speaker output often requires more additional controls like | ||
195 | the external amplifier bits. Thus a headphone output has a slightly | ||
196 | better chance. | ||
197 | |||
198 | Before making a bug report, double-check whether the mixer is set up | ||
199 | correctly. The recent version of snd-hda-intel driver provides mostly | ||
200 | "Master" volume control as well as "Front" volume (where Front | ||
201 | indicates the front-channels). In addition, there can be individual | ||
202 | "Headphone" and "Speaker" controls. | ||
203 | |||
204 | Ditto for the speaker output. There can be "External Amplifier" | ||
205 | switch on some codecs. Turn on this if present. | ||
206 | |||
207 | Another related problem is the automatic mute of speaker output by | ||
208 | headphone plugging. This feature is implemented in most cases, but | ||
209 | not on every preset model or codec-support code. | ||
210 | |||
211 | In anyway, try a different model option if you have such a problem. | ||
212 | Some other models may match better and give you more matching | ||
213 | functionality. If none of the available models works, send a bug | ||
214 | report. See the bug report section for details. | ||
215 | |||
216 | If you are masochistic enough to debug the driver problem, note the | ||
217 | following: | ||
218 | |||
219 | - The speaker (and the headphone, too) output often requires the | ||
220 | external amplifier. This can be set usually via EAPD verb or a | ||
221 | certain GPIO. If the codec pin supports EAPD, you have a better | ||
222 | chance via SET_EAPD_BTL verb (0x70c). On others, GPIO pin (mostly | ||
223 | it's either GPIO0 or GPIO1) may turn on/off EAPD. | ||
224 | - Some Realtek codecs require special vendor-specific coefficients to | ||
225 | turn on the amplifier. See patch_realtek.c. | ||
226 | - IDT codecs may have extra power-enable/disable controls on each | ||
227 | analog pin. See patch_sigmatel.c. | ||
228 | - Very rare but some devices don't accept the pin-detection verb until | ||
229 | triggered. Issuing GET_PIN_SENSE verb (0xf09) may result in the | ||
230 | codec-communication stall. Some examples are found in | ||
231 | patch_realtek.c. | ||
232 | |||
233 | |||
234 | Capture Problems | ||
235 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
236 | The capture problems are often because of missing setups of mixers. | ||
237 | Thus, before submitting a bug report, make sure that you set up the | ||
238 | mixer correctly. For example, both "Capture Volume" and "Capture | ||
239 | Switch" have to be set properly in addition to the right "Capture | ||
240 | Source" or "Input Source" selection. Some devices have "Mic Boost" | ||
241 | volume or switch. | ||
242 | |||
243 | When the PCM device is opened via "default" PCM (without pulse-audio | ||
244 | plugin), you'll likely have "Digital Capture Volume" control as well. | ||
245 | This is provided for the extra gain/attenuation of the signal in | ||
246 | software, especially for the inputs without the hardware volume | ||
247 | control such as digital microphones. Unless really needed, this | ||
248 | should be set to exactly 50%, corresponding to 0dB -- neither extra | ||
249 | gain nor attenuation. When you use "hw" PCM, i.e., a raw access PCM, | ||
250 | this control will have no influence, though. | ||
251 | |||
252 | It's known that some codecs / devices have fairly bad analog circuits, | ||
253 | and the recorded sound contains a certain DC-offset. This is no bug | ||
254 | of the driver. | ||
255 | |||
256 | Most of modern laptops have no analog CD-input connection. Thus, the | ||
257 | recording from CD input won't work in many cases although the driver | ||
258 | provides it as the capture source. Use CDDA instead. | ||
259 | |||
260 | The automatic switching of the built-in and external mic per plugging | ||
261 | is implemented on some codec models but not on every model. Partly | ||
262 | because of my laziness but mostly lack of testers. Feel free to | ||
263 | submit the improvement patch to the author. | ||
264 | |||
265 | |||
266 | Direct Debugging | ||
267 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
268 | If no model option gives you a better result, and you are a tough guy | ||
269 | to fight against evil, try debugging via hitting the raw HD-audio | ||
270 | codec verbs to the device. Some tools are available: hda-emu and | ||
271 | hda-analyzer. The detailed description is found in the sections | ||
272 | below. You'd need to enable hwdep for using these tools. See "Kernel | ||
273 | Configuration" section. | ||
274 | |||
275 | |||
276 | OTHER ISSUES | ||
277 | ------------ | ||
278 | |||
279 | Kernel Configuration | ||
280 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
281 | In general, I recommend you to enable the sound debug option, | ||
282 | `CONFIG_SND_DEBUG=y`, no matter whether you are debugging or not. | ||
283 | This enables snd_printd() macro and others, and you'll get additional | ||
284 | kernel messages at probing. | ||
285 | |||
286 | In addition, you can enable `CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE=y`. But this | ||
287 | will give you far more messages. Thus turn this on only when you are | ||
288 | sure to want it. | ||
289 | |||
290 | Don't forget to turn on the appropriate `CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_*` | ||
291 | options. Note that each of them corresponds to the codec chip, not | ||
292 | the controller chip. Thus, even if lspci shows the Nvidia controller, | ||
293 | you may need to choose the option for other vendors. If you are | ||
294 | unsure, just select all yes. | ||
295 | |||
296 | `CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP` is a useful option for debugging the driver. | ||
297 | When this is enabled, the driver creates hardware-dependent devices | ||
298 | (one per each codec), and you have a raw access to the device via | ||
299 | these device files. For example, `hwC0D2` will be created for the | ||
300 | codec slot #2 of the first card (#0). For debug-tools such as | ||
301 | hda-verb and hda-analyzer, the hwdep device has to be enabled. | ||
302 | Thus, it'd be better to turn this on always. | ||
303 | |||
304 | `CONFIG_SND_HDA_RECONFIG` is a new option, and this depends on the | ||
305 | hwdep option above. When enabled, you'll have some sysfs files under | ||
306 | the corresponding hwdep directory. See "HD-audio reconfiguration" | ||
307 | section below. | ||
308 | |||
309 | `CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE` option enables the power-saving feature. | ||
310 | See "Power-saving" section below. | ||
311 | |||
312 | |||
313 | Codec Proc-File | ||
314 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
315 | The codec proc-file is a treasure-chest for debugging HD-audio. | ||
316 | It shows most of useful information of each codec widget. | ||
317 | |||
318 | The proc file is located in /proc/asound/card*/codec#*, one file per | ||
319 | each codec slot. You can know the codec vendor, product id and | ||
320 | names, the type of each widget, capabilities and so on. | ||
321 | This file, however, doesn't show the jack sensing state, so far. This | ||
322 | is because the jack-sensing might be depending on the trigger state. | ||
323 | |||
324 | This file will be picked up by the debug tools, and also it can be fed | ||
325 | to the emulator as the primary codec information. See the debug tools | ||
326 | section below. | ||
327 | |||
328 | This proc file can be also used to check whether the generic parser is | ||
329 | used. When the generic parser is used, the vendor/product ID name | ||
330 | will appear as "Realtek ID 0262", instead of "Realtek ALC262". | ||
331 | |||
332 | |||
333 | HD-Audio Reconfiguration | ||
334 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
335 | This is an experimental feature to allow you re-configure the HD-audio | ||
336 | codec dynamically without reloading the driver. The following sysfs | ||
337 | files are available under each codec-hwdep device directory (e.g. | ||
338 | /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0): | ||
339 | |||
340 | vendor_id:: | ||
341 | Shows the 32bit codec vendor-id hex number. You can change the | ||
342 | vendor-id value by writing to this file. | ||
343 | subsystem_id:: | ||
344 | Shows the 32bit codec subsystem-id hex number. You can change the | ||
345 | subsystem-id value by writing to this file. | ||
346 | revision_id:: | ||
347 | Shows the 32bit codec revision-id hex number. You can change the | ||
348 | revision-id value by writing to this file. | ||
349 | afg:: | ||
350 | Shows the AFG ID. This is read-only. | ||
351 | mfg:: | ||
352 | Shows the MFG ID. This is read-only. | ||
353 | name:: | ||
354 | Shows the codec name string. Can be changed by writing to this | ||
355 | file. | ||
356 | modelname:: | ||
357 | Shows the currently set `model` option. Can be changed by writing | ||
358 | to this file. | ||
359 | init_verbs:: | ||
360 | The extra verbs to execute at initialization. You can add a verb by | ||
361 | writing to this file. Pass tree numbers, nid, verb and parameter. | ||
362 | hints:: | ||
363 | Shows hint strings for codec parsers for any use. Right now it's | ||
364 | not used. | ||
365 | reconfig:: | ||
366 | Triggers the codec re-configuration. When any value is written to | ||
367 | this file, the driver re-initialize and parses the codec tree | ||
368 | again. All the changes done by the sysfs entries above are taken | ||
369 | into account. | ||
370 | clear:: | ||
371 | Resets the codec, removes the mixer elements and PCM stuff of the | ||
372 | specified codec, and clear all init verbs and hints. | ||
373 | |||
374 | |||
375 | Power-Saving | ||
376 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
377 | The power-saving is a kind of auto-suspend of the device. When the | ||
378 | device is inactive for a certain time, the device is automatically | ||
379 | turned off to save the power. The time to go down is specified via | ||
380 | `power_save` module option, and this option can be changed dynamically | ||
381 | via sysfs. | ||
382 | |||
383 | The power-saving won't work when the analog loopback is enabled on | ||
384 | some codecs. Make sure that you mute all unneeded signal routes when | ||
385 | you want the power-saving. | ||
386 | |||
387 | The power-saving feature might cause audible click noises at each | ||
388 | power-down/up depending on the device. Some of them might be | ||
389 | solvable, but some are hard, I'm afraid. Some distros such as | ||
390 | openSUSE enables the power-saving feature automatically when the power | ||
391 | cable is unplugged. Thus, if you hear noises, suspect first the | ||
392 | power-saving. See /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save to | ||
393 | check the current value. If it's non-zero, the feature is turned on. | ||
394 | |||
395 | |||
396 | Development Tree | ||
397 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
398 | The latest development codes for HD-audio are found on sound git tree: | ||
399 | |||
400 | - git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git | ||
401 | |||
402 | The master branch or for-next branches can be used as the main | ||
403 | development branches in general while the HD-audio specific patches | ||
404 | are committed in topic/hda branch. | ||
405 | |||
406 | If you are using the latest Linus tree, it'd be better to pull the | ||
407 | above GIT tree onto it. If you are using the older kernels, an easy | ||
408 | way to try the latest ALSA code is to build from the snapshot | ||
409 | tarball. There are daily tarballs and the latest snapshot tarball. | ||
410 | All can be built just like normal alsa-driver release packages, that | ||
411 | is, installed via the usual spells: configure, make and make | ||
412 | install(-modules). See INSTALL in the package. The snapshot tarballs | ||
413 | are found at: | ||
414 | |||
415 | - ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/ | ||
416 | |||
417 | |||
418 | Sending a Bug Report | ||
419 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
420 | If any model or module options don't work for your device, it's time | ||
421 | to send a bug report to the developers. Give the following in your | ||
422 | bug report: | ||
423 | |||
424 | - Hardware vendor, product and model names | ||
425 | - Kernel version (and ALSA-driver version if you built externally) | ||
426 | - `alsa-info.sh` output; run with `--no-upload` option. See the | ||
427 | section below about alsa-info | ||
428 | |||
429 | If it's a regression, at best, send alsa-info outputs of both working | ||
430 | and non-working kernels. This is really helpful because we can | ||
431 | compare the codec registers directly. | ||
432 | |||
433 | Send a bug report either the followings: | ||
434 | |||
435 | kernel-bugzilla:: | ||
436 | http://bugme.linux-foundation.org/ | ||
437 | alsa-devel ML:: | ||
438 | alsa-devel@alsa-project.org | ||

441 | DEBUG TOOLS | ||
442 | ----------- | ||
443 | |||
444 | This section describes some tools available for debugging HD-audio | ||
445 | problems. | ||
446 | |||
447 | alsa-info | ||
448 | ~~~~~~~~~ | ||
449 | The script `alsa-info.sh` is a very useful tool to gather the audio | ||
450 | device information. You can fetch the latest version from: | ||
451 | |||
452 | - http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh | ||
453 | |||
454 | Run this script as root, and it will gather the important information | ||
455 | such as the module lists, module parameters, proc file contents | ||
456 | including the codec proc files, mixer outputs and the control | ||
457 | elements. As default, it will store the information onto a web server | ||
458 | on alsa-project.org. But, if you send a bug report, it'd be better to | ||
459 | run with `--no-upload` option, and attach the generated file. | ||
460 | |||
461 | There are some other useful options. See `--help` option output for | ||
462 | details. | ||

467 | hda-verb is a tiny program that allows you to access the HD-audio | ||
468 | codec directly. You can execute a raw HD-audio codec verb with this. | ||
469 | This program accesses the hwdep device, thus you need to enable the | ||
470 | kernel config `CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP=y` beforehand. | ||
471 | |||
472 | The hda-verb program takes four arguments: the hwdep device file, the | ||
473 | widget NID, the verb and the parameter. When you access to the codec | ||
474 | on the slot 2 of the card 0, pass /dev/snd/hwC0D2 to the first | ||
475 | argument, typically. (However, the real path name depends on the | ||
476 | system.) | ||
477 | |||
478 | The second parameter is the widget number-id to access. The third | ||
479 | parameter can be either a hex/digit number or a string corresponding | ||
480 | to a verb. Similarly, the last parameter is the value to write, or | ||
481 | can be a string for the parameter type. | ||
482 | |||
483 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
484 | % hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x12 0x701 2 | ||
485 | nid = 0x12, verb = 0x701, param = 0x2 | ||
486 | value = 0x0 | ||
487 | |||
488 | % hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x0 PARAMETERS VENDOR_ID | ||
489 | nid = 0x0, verb = 0xf00, param = 0x0 | ||
490 | value = 0x10ec0262 | ||
491 | |||
492 | % hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 2 set_a 0xb080 | ||
493 | nid = 0x2, verb = 0x300, param = 0xb080 | ||
494 | value = 0x0 | ||
495 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
496 | |||
497 | Although you can issue any verbs with this program, the driver state | ||
498 | won't be always updated. For example, the volume values are usually | ||
499 | cached in the driver, and thus changing the widget amp value directly | ||
500 | via hda-verb won't change the mixer value. | ||
501 | |||
502 | The hda-verb program is found in the ftp directory: | ||
503 | |||
504 | - ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/misc/ | ||
505 | |||
506 | Also a git repository is available: | ||
507 | |||
508 | - git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/hda-verb.git | ||
509 | |||
510 | See README file in the tarball for more details about hda-verb | ||
511 | program. | ||
512 | |||
513 | |||
514 | hda-analyzer | ||
515 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
516 | hda-analyzer provides a graphical interface to access the raw HD-audio | ||
517 | control, based on pyGTK2 binding. It's a more powerful version of | ||
518 | hda-verb. The program gives you an easy-to-use GUI stuff for showing | ||
519 | the widget information and adjusting the amp values, as well as the | ||
520 | proc-compatible output. | ||
521 | |||
522 | The hda-analyzer is a part of alsa.git repository in | ||
523 | alsa-project.org: | ||
524 | |||
525 | - http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa.git;a=tree;f=hda-analyzer | ||
526 | |||
527 | |||
528 | Codecgraph | ||
529 | ~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
530 | Codecgraph is a utility program to generate a graph and visualizes the | ||
531 | codec-node connection of a codec chip. It's especially useful when | ||
532 | you analyze or debug a codec without a proper datasheet. The program | ||
533 | parses the given codec proc file and converts to SVG via graphiz | ||
534 | program. | ||
535 | |||
536 | The tarball and GIT trees are found in the web page at: | ||
537 | |||
538 | - http://helllabs.org/codecgraph/ | ||
539 | |||
540 | |||
541 | hda-emu | ||
542 | ~~~~~~~ | ||
543 | hda-emu is an HD-audio emulator. The main purpose of this program is | ||
544 | to debug an HD-audio codec without the real hardware. Thus, it | ||
545 | doesn't emulate the behavior with the real audio I/O, but it just | ||
546 | dumps the codec register changes and the ALSA-driver internal changes | ||
547 | at probing and operating the HD-audio driver. | ||
548 | |||
549 | The program requires a codec proc-file to simulate. Get a proc file | ||
550 | for the target codec beforehand, or pick up an example codec from the | ||
551 | codec proc collections in the tarball. Then, run the program with the | ||
552 | proc file, and the hda-emu program will start parsing the codec file | ||
553 | and simulates the HD-audio driver: | ||
554 | |||
555 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
556 | % hda-emu codecs/stac9200-dell-d820-laptop | ||
557 | # Parsing.. | ||
558 | hda_codec: Unknown model for STAC9200, using BIOS defaults | ||
559 | hda_codec: pin nid 08 bios pin config 40c003fa | ||
560 | .... | ||
561 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
562 | |||
563 | The program gives you only a very dumb command-line interface. You | ||
564 | can get a proc-file dump at the current state, get a list of control | ||
565 | (mixer) elements, set/get the control element value, simulate the PCM | ||
566 | operation, the jack plugging simulation, etc. | ||
567 | |||
568 | The package is found in: | ||
569 | |||
570 | - ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/misc/ | ||
571 | |||

85 | A. Exporting pages to users with remap_pfn_range, io_remap_pfn_range, | ||
86 | vm_insert_pfn | ||
87 | |||
88 | Drivers wanting to export some pages to userspace do it by using mmap | ||
89 | interface and a combination of | ||
90 | 1) pgprot_noncached() | ||
91 | 2) io_remap_pfn_range() or remap_pfn_range() or vm_insert_pfn() | ||
92 | |||
93 | With PAT support, a new API pgprot_writecombine is being added. So, drivers can | ||
94 | continue to use the above sequence, with either pgprot_noncached() or | ||
95 | pgprot_writecombine() in step 1, followed by step 2. | ||
96 | |||
97 | In addition, step 2 internally tracks the region as UC or WC in memtype | ||
98 | list in order to ensure no conflicting mapping. | ||
99 | |||
100 | Note that this set of APIs only works with IO (non RAM) regions. If driver | ||
101 | wants to export a RAM region, it has to do set_memory_uc() or set_memory_wc() | ||
102 | as step 0 above and also track the usage of those pages and use set_memory_wb() | ||
103 | before the page is freed to free pool. | ||
