5 | Description: | ||
6 | Each USB device directory will contain a file named | ||
7 | power/level. This file holds a power-level setting for | ||
8 | the device, either "on" or "auto". | ||
9 | |||
10 | "on" means that the device is not allowed to autosuspend, | ||
11 | although normal suspends for system sleep will still | ||
12 | be honored. "auto" means the device will autosuspend | ||
13 | and autoresume in the usual manner, according to the | ||
14 | capabilities of its driver. | ||
15 | |||
16 | During normal use, devices should be left in the "auto" | ||
17 | level. The "on" level is meant for administrative uses. | ||
18 | If you want to suspend a device immediately but leave it | ||
19 | free to wake up in response to I/O requests, you should | ||
20 | write "0" to power/autosuspend. | ||
21 | |||
22 | Device not capable of proper suspend and resume should be | ||
23 | left in the "on" level. Although the USB spec requires | ||
24 | devices to support suspend/resume, many of them do not. | ||
25 | In fact so many don't that by default, the USB core | ||
26 | initializes all non-hub devices in the "on" level. Some | ||
27 | drivers may change this setting when they are bound. | ||
28 | |||
29 | This file is deprecated and will be removed after 2010. | ||
30 | Use the power/control file instead; it does exactly the | ||
31 | same thing. | ||

4 | Description: | ||
5 | |||
6 | In kmemtrace-enabled kernels, the following files are created: | ||
7 | |||
8 | /sys/kernel/debug/kmemtrace/ | ||
9 | cpu<n> (0400) Per-CPU tracing data, see below. (binary) | ||
10 | total_overruns (0400) Total number of bytes which were dropped from | ||
11 | cpu<n> files because of full buffer condition, | ||
12 | non-binary. (text) | ||
13 | abi_version (0400) Kernel's kmemtrace ABI version. (text) | ||
14 | |||
15 | Each per-CPU file should be read according to the relay interface. That is, | ||
16 | the reader should set affinity to that specific CPU and, as currently done by | ||
17 | the userspace application (though there are other methods), use poll() with | ||
18 | an infinite timeout before every read(). Otherwise, erroneous data may be | ||
19 | read. The binary data has the following _core_ format: | ||
20 | |||
21 | Event ID (1 byte) Unsigned integer, one of: | ||
22 | 0 - represents an allocation (KMEMTRACE_EVENT_ALLOC) | ||
23 | 1 - represents a freeing of previously allocated memory | ||
24 | (KMEMTRACE_EVENT_FREE) | ||
25 | Type ID (1 byte) Unsigned integer, one of: | ||
26 | 0 - this is a kmalloc() / kfree() | ||
27 | 1 - this is a kmem_cache_alloc() / kmem_cache_free() | ||
28 | 2 - this is a __get_free_pages() et al. | ||
29 | Event size (2 bytes) Unsigned integer representing the | ||
30 | size of this event. Used to extend | ||
31 | kmemtrace. Discard the bytes you | ||
32 | don't know about. | ||
33 | Sequence number (4 bytes) Signed integer used to reorder data | ||
34 | logged on SMP machines. Wraparound | ||
35 | must be taken into account, although | ||
36 | it is unlikely. | ||
37 | Caller address (8 bytes) Return address to the caller. | ||
38 | Pointer to mem (8 bytes) Pointer to target memory area. Can be | ||
39 | NULL, but not all such calls might be | ||
40 | recorded. | ||
41 | |||
42 | In case of KMEMTRACE_EVENT_ALLOC events, the next fields follow: | ||
43 | |||
44 | Requested bytes (8 bytes) Total number of requested bytes, | ||
45 | unsigned, must not be zero. | ||
46 | Allocated bytes (8 bytes) Total number of actually allocated | ||
47 | bytes, unsigned, must not be lower | ||
48 | than requested bytes. | ||
49 | Requested flags (4 bytes) GFP flags supplied by the caller. | ||
50 | Target CPU (4 bytes) Signed integer, valid for event id 1. | ||
51 | If equal to -1, target CPU is the same | ||
52 | as origin CPU, but the reverse might | ||
53 | not be true. | ||
54 | |||
55 | The data is made available in the same endianness the machine has. | ||
56 | |||
57 | Other event ids and type ids may be defined and added. Other fields may be | ||
58 | added by increasing event size, but see below for details. | ||
59 | Every modification to the ABI, including new id definitions, are followed | ||
60 | by bumping the ABI version by one. | ||
61 | |||
62 | Adding new data to the packet (features) is done at the end of the mandatory | ||
63 | data: | ||
64 | Feature size (2 byte) | ||
65 | Feature ID (1 byte) | ||
66 | Feature data (Feature size - 3 bytes) | ||

21 | Description: | ||
22 | Each USB device directory will contain a file named | ||
23 | power/level. This file holds a power-level setting for | ||
24 | the device, either "on" or "auto". | ||
25 | |||
26 | "on" means that the device is not allowed to autosuspend, | ||
27 | although normal suspends for system sleep will still | ||
28 | be honored. "auto" means the device will autosuspend | ||
29 | and autoresume in the usual manner, according to the | ||
30 | capabilities of its driver. | ||
31 | |||
32 | During normal use, devices should be left in the "auto" | ||
33 | level. The "on" level is meant for administrative uses. | ||
34 | If you want to suspend a device immediately but leave it | ||
35 | free to wake up in response to I/O requests, you should | ||
36 | write "0" to power/autosuspend. | ||
37 | |||
38 | Device not capable of proper suspend and resume should be | ||
39 | left in the "on" level. Although the USB spec requires | ||
40 | devices to support suspend/resume, many of them do not. | ||
41 | In fact so many don't that by default, the USB core | ||
42 | initializes all non-hub devices in the "on" level. Some | ||
43 | drivers may change this setting when they are bound. | ||

11 | Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> | ||
12 | Description: | ||
13 | The /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup attribute allows the user | ||
14 | space to check if the device is enabled to wake up the system | ||
15 | from sleep states, such as the memory sleep state (suspend to | ||
16 | RAM) and hibernation (suspend to disk), and to enable or disable | ||
17 | it to do that as desired. | ||
18 | |||
19 | Some devices support "wakeup" events, which are hardware signals | ||
20 | used to activate the system from a sleep state. Such devices | ||
21 | have one of the following two values for the sysfs power/wakeup | ||
22 | file: | ||
23 | |||
24 | + "enabled\n" to issue the events; | ||
25 | + "disabled\n" not to do so; | ||
26 | |||
27 | In that cases the user space can change the setting represented | ||
28 | by the contents of this file by writing either "enabled", or | ||
29 | "disabled" to it. | ||
30 | |||
31 | For the devices that are not capable of generating system wakeup | ||
32 | events this file contains "\n". In that cases the user space | ||
33 | cannot modify the contents of this file and the device cannot be | ||
34 | enabled to wake up the system. | ||

39 | Description: | ||
40 | The /sys/devices/.../power/control attribute allows the user | ||
41 | space to control the run-time power management of the device. | ||
42 | |||
43 | All devices have one of the following two values for the | ||
44 | power/control file: | ||
45 | |||
46 | + "auto\n" to allow the device to be power managed at run time; | ||
47 | + "on\n" to prevent the device from being power managed; | ||
48 | |||
49 | The default for all devices is "auto", which means that they may | ||
50 | be subject to automatic power management, depending on their | ||
51 | drivers. Changing this attribute to "on" prevents the driver | ||
52 | from power managing the device at run time. Doing that while | ||
53 | the device is suspended causes it to be woken up. | ||

55 | What: /sys/devices/.../power/async | ||
56 | Date: January 2009 | ||
57 | Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> | ||
58 | Description: | ||
59 | The /sys/devices/.../async attribute allows the user space to | ||
60 | enable or diasble the device's suspend and resume callbacks to | ||
61 | be executed asynchronously (ie. in separate threads, in parallel | ||
62 | with the main suspend/resume thread) during system-wide power | ||
63 | transitions (eg. suspend to RAM, hibernation). | ||
64 | |||
65 | All devices have one of the following two values for the | ||
66 | power/async file: | ||
67 | |||
68 | + "enabled\n" to permit the asynchronous suspend/resume; | ||
69 | + "disabled\n" to forbid it; | ||
70 | |||
71 | The value of this attribute may be changed by writing either | ||
72 | "enabled", or "disabled" to it. | ||
73 | |||
74 | It generally is unsafe to permit the asynchronous suspend/resume | ||
75 | of a device unless it is certain that all of the PM dependencies | ||
76 | of the device are known to the PM core. However, for some | ||
77 | devices this attribute is set to "enabled" by bus type code or | ||
78 | device drivers and in that cases it should be safe to leave the | ||
79 | default value. | ||

39 | Description: The mouse can store 5 profiles which can be switched by the | ||
40 | press of a button. A profile holds informations like button | ||
41 | mappings, sensitivity, the colors of the 5 leds and light | ||
42 | effects. | ||
43 | When read, these files return the respective profile. The | ||
44 | returned data is 975 bytes in size. | ||
45 | When written, this file lets one write the respective profile | ||
46 | data back to the mouse. The data has to be 975 bytes long. | ||
47 | The mouse will reject invalid data, whereas the profile number | ||
48 | stored in the profile doesn't need to fit the number of the | ||
49 | store. | ||

73 | Description: The mouse has a "Tracking Control Unit" which lets the user | ||
74 | calibrate the laser power to fit the mousepad surface. | ||
75 | When read, this file returns the current state of the TCU, | ||
76 | where 0 means off and 1 means on. | ||

722 | 742 | ||
723 | Previous versions of struct scatterlist contained a "void *address" | 743 | Architectures must ensure that kmalloc'ed buffer is |
724 | field that was sometimes used instead of page+offset. As of Linux | 744 | DMA-safe. Drivers and subsystems depend on it. If an architecture |
725 | 2.5., page+offset is always used, and the "address" field has been | 745 | isn't fully DMA-coherent (i.e. hardware doesn't ensure that data in |
726 | deleted. | 746 | the CPU cache is identical to data in main memory), |
747 | ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN must be set so that the memory allocator | ||
748 | makes sure that kmalloc'ed buffer doesn't share a cache line with | ||
749 | the others. See arch/arm/include/asm/cache.h as an example. | ||
727 | 750 | ||
728 | 2) More to come... | 751 | Note that ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is about DMA memory alignment |
729 | 752 | constraints. You don't need to worry about the architecture data | |
730 | Handling Errors | 753 | alignment constraints (e.g. the alignment constraints about 64-bit |
731 | 754 | objects). | |
732 | DMA address space is limited on some architectures and an allocation | ||
733 | failure can be determined by: | ||
734 | 755 | ||
735 | - checking if pci_alloc_consistent returns NULL or pci_map_sg returns 0 | 756 | 3) Supporting multiple types of IOMMUs |
736 | 757 | ||
737 | - checking the returned dma_addr_t of pci_map_single and pci_map_page | 758 | If your architecture needs to support multiple types of IOMMUs, you |
738 | by using pci_dma_mapping_error(): | 759 | can use include/linux/asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h. It's a |
739 | 760 | library to support the DMA API with multiple types of IOMMUs. Lots | |
740 | dma_addr_t dma_handle; | 761 | of architectures (x86, powerpc, sh, alpha, ia64, microblaze and |
741 | 762 | sparc) use it. Choose one to see how it can be used. If you need to | |
742 | dma_handle = pci_map_single(pdev, addr, size, direction); | 763 | support multiple types of IOMMUs in a single system, the example of |
743 | if (pci_dma_mapping_error(pdev, dma_handle)) { | 764 | x86 or powerpc helps. |

32 | The Linux DRM layer contains code intended to support the needs | ||
33 | of complex graphics devices, usually containing programmable | ||
34 | pipelines well suited to 3D graphics acceleration. Graphics | ||
35 | drivers in the kernel can make use of DRM functions to make | ||
36 | tasks like memory management, interrupt handling and DMA easier, | ||
37 | and provide a uniform interface to applications. | ||

54 | <para> | ||
55 | This chapter documents DRM internals relevant to driver authors | ||
56 | and developers working to add support for the latest features to | ||
57 | existing drivers. | ||
58 | </para> | ||
59 | <para> | ||
60 | First, we'll go over some typical driver initialization | ||
61 | requirements, like setting up command buffers, creating an | ||
62 | initial output configuration, and initializing core services. | ||
63 | Subsequent sections will cover core internals in more detail, | ||
64 | providing implementation notes and examples. | ||
65 | </para> | ||
66 | <para> | ||
67 | The DRM layer provides several services to graphics drivers, | ||
68 | many of them driven by the application interfaces it provides | ||
69 | through libdrm, the library that wraps most of the DRM ioctls. | ||
70 | These include vblank event handling, memory | ||
71 | management, output management, framebuffer management, command | ||
72 | submission & fencing, suspend/resume support, and DMA | ||
73 | services. | ||
74 | </para> | ||
75 | <para> | ||
76 | The core of every DRM driver is struct drm_device. Drivers | ||
77 | will typically statically initialize a drm_device structure, | ||
78 | then pass it to drm_init() at load time. | ||

158 | flags indicate which features your driver supports to the DRM | ||
159 | core, you need to set most of them prior to calling drm_init(). Some, | ||
160 | like DRIVER_MODESET can be set later based on user supplied parameters, | ||
161 | but that's the exception rather than the rule. | ||

242 | unlike in the actual i915 driver source, this example unconditionally | ||
243 | exports KMS capability. | ||

247 | <!-- Internals: driver load --> | ||
248 | |||
249 | <sect1> | ||
250 | <title>Driver load</title> | ||
251 | <para> | ||
252 | In the previous section, we saw what a typical drm_driver | ||
253 | structure might look like. One of the more important fields in | ||
254 | the structure is the hook for the load function. | ||
255 | </para> | ||
256 | <programlisting> | ||
257 | static struct drm_driver driver = { | ||
258 | ... | ||
259 | .load = i915_driver_load, | ||
260 | ... | ||
261 | }; | ||
262 | </programlisting> | ||
263 | <para> | ||
264 | The load function has many responsibilities: allocating a driver | ||
265 | private structure, specifying supported performance counters, | ||
266 | configuring the device (e.g. mapping registers & command | ||
267 | buffers), initializing the memory manager, and setting up the | ||
268 | initial output configuration. | ||
269 | </para> | ||
270 | <para> | ||
271 | Note that the tasks performed at driver load time must not | ||
272 | conflict with DRM client requirements. For instance, if user | ||
273 | level mode setting drivers are in use, it would be problematic | ||
274 | to perform output discovery & configuration at load time. | ||
275 | Likewise, if pre-memory management aware user level drivers are | ||
276 | in use, memory management and command buffer setup may need to | ||
277 | be omitted. These requirements are driver specific, and care | ||
278 | needs to be taken to keep both old and new applications and | ||
279 | libraries working. The i915 driver supports the "modeset" | ||
280 | module parameter to control whether advanced features are | ||
281 | enabled at load time or in legacy fashion. If compatibility is | ||
282 | a concern (e.g. with drivers converted over to the new interfaces | ||
283 | from the old ones), care must be taken to prevent incompatible | ||
284 | device initialization and control with the currently active | ||
285 | userspace drivers. | ||
286 | </para> | ||
287 | |||
288 | <sect2> | ||
289 | <title>Driver private & performance counters</title> | ||
290 | <para> | ||
291 | The driver private hangs off the main drm_device structure and | ||
292 | can be used for tracking various device specific bits of | ||
293 | information, like register offsets, command buffer status, | ||
294 | register state for suspend/resume, etc. At load time, a | ||
295 | driver can simply allocate one and set drm_device.dev_priv | ||
296 | appropriately; at unload the driver can free it and set | ||
297 | drm_device.dev_priv to NULL. | ||
298 | </para> | ||
299 | <para> | ||
300 | The DRM supports several counters which can be used for rough | ||
301 | performance characterization. Note that the DRM stat counter | ||
302 | system is not often used by applications, and supporting | ||
303 | additional counters is completely optional. | ||
304 | </para> | ||
305 | <para> | ||
306 | These interfaces are deprecated and should not be used. If performance | ||
307 | monitoring is desired, the developer should investigate and | ||
308 | potentially enhance the kernel perf and tracing infrastructure to export | ||
309 | GPU related performance information to performance monitoring | ||
310 | tools and applications. | ||
311 | </para> | ||
312 | </sect2> | ||
313 | |||
314 | <sect2> | ||
315 | <title>Configuring the device</title> | ||
316 | <para> | ||
317 | Obviously, device configuration will be device specific. | ||
318 | However, there are several common operations: finding a | ||
319 | device's PCI resources, mapping them, and potentially setting | ||
320 | up an IRQ handler. | ||
321 | </para> | ||
322 | <para> | ||
323 | Finding & mapping resources is fairly straightforward. The | ||
324 | DRM wrapper functions, drm_get_resource_start() and | ||
325 | drm_get_resource_len() can be used to find BARs on the given | ||
326 | drm_device struct. Once those values have been retrieved, the | ||
327 | driver load function can call drm_addmap() to create a new | ||
328 | mapping for the BAR in question. Note you'll probably want a | ||
329 | drm_local_map_t in your driver private structure to track any | ||
330 | mappings you create. | ||
331 | <!-- !Fdrivers/gpu/drm/drm_bufs.c drm_get_resource_* --> | ||
332 | <!-- !Finclude/drm/drmP.h drm_local_map_t --> | ||
333 | </para> | ||
334 | <para> | ||
335 | if compatibility with other operating systems isn't a concern | ||
336 | (DRM drivers can run under various BSD variants and OpenSolaris), | ||
337 | native Linux calls can be used for the above, e.g. pci_resource_* | ||
338 | and iomap*/iounmap. See the Linux device driver book for more | ||
339 | info. | ||
340 | </para> | ||
341 | <para> | ||
342 | Once you have a register map, you can use the DRM_READn() and | ||
343 | DRM_WRITEn() macros to access the registers on your device, or | ||
344 | use driver specific versions to offset into your MMIO space | ||
345 | relative to a driver specific base pointer (see I915_READ for | ||
346 | example). | ||
347 | </para> | ||
348 | <para> | ||
349 | If your device supports interrupt generation, you may want to | ||
350 | setup an interrupt handler at driver load time as well. This | ||
351 | is done using the drm_irq_install() function. If your device | ||
352 | supports vertical blank interrupts, it should call | ||
353 | drm_vblank_init() to initialize the core vblank handling code before | ||
354 | enabling interrupts on your device. This ensures the vblank related | ||
355 | structures are allocated and allows the core to handle vblank events. | ||
356 | </para> | ||
357 | <!--!Fdrivers/char/drm/drm_irq.c drm_irq_install--> | ||
358 | <para> | ||
359 | Once your interrupt handler is registered (it'll use your | ||
360 | drm_driver.irq_handler as the actual interrupt handling | ||
361 | function), you can safely enable interrupts on your device, | ||
362 | assuming any other state your interrupt handler uses is also | ||

366 | Another task that may be necessary during configuration is | ||
367 | mapping the video BIOS. On many devices, the VBIOS describes | ||

369 | flags indicating device state. Mapping the BIOS can be done | ||
370 | using the pci_map_rom() call, a convenience function that | ||
371 | takes care of mapping the actual ROM, whether it has been | ||
372 | shadowed into memory (typically at address 0xc0000) or exists | ||
373 | on the PCI device in the ROM BAR. Note that once you've | ||
374 | mapped the ROM and extracted any necessary information, be | ||
375 | sure to unmap it; on many devices the ROM address decoder is | ||
376 | shared with other BARs, so leaving it mapped can cause | ||
377 | undesired behavior like hangs or memory corruption. | ||

385 | In order to allocate command buffers, cursor memory, scanout | ||
386 | buffers, etc., as well as support the latest features provided | ||
387 | by packages like Mesa and the X.Org X server, your driver | ||
388 | should support a memory manager. | ||
389 | </para> | ||
390 | <para> | ||
391 | If your driver supports memory management (it should!), you'll | ||

393 | it depends on which memory manager you're using, TTM or GEM. | ||

396 | <title>TTM initialization</title> | ||
397 | <para> | ||
398 | TTM (for Translation Table Manager) manages video memory and | ||
399 | aperture space for graphics devices. TTM supports both UMA devices | ||
400 | and devices with dedicated video RAM (VRAM), i.e. most discrete | ||
401 | graphics devices. If your device has dedicated RAM, supporting | ||
402 | TTM is desirable. TTM also integrates tightly with your | ||
403 | driver specific buffer execution function. See the radeon | ||
404 | driver for examples. | ||
405 | </para> | ||
406 | <para> | ||
407 | The core TTM structure is the ttm_bo_driver struct. It contains | ||
408 | several fields with function pointers for initializing the TTM, | ||
409 | allocating and freeing memory, waiting for command completion | ||
410 | and fence synchronization, and memory migration. See the | ||
411 | radeon_ttm.c file for an example of usage. | ||
412 | </para> | ||
413 | <para> | ||
414 | The ttm_global_reference structure is made up of several fields: | ||
415 | </para> | ||
416 | <programlisting> | ||
417 | struct ttm_global_reference { | ||
418 | enum ttm_global_types global_type; | ||

422 | void (*release) (struct ttm_global_reference *); | ||
423 | }; | ||
424 | </programlisting> | ||
425 | <para> | ||
426 | There should be one global reference structure for your memory | ||
427 | manager as a whole, and there will be others for each object | ||
428 | created by the memory manager at runtime. Your global TTM should | ||
429 | have a type of TTM_GLOBAL_TTM_MEM. The size field for the global | ||
430 | object should be sizeof(struct ttm_mem_global), and the init and | ||
431 | release hooks should point at your driver specific init and | ||
432 | release routines, which will probably eventually call | ||
433 | ttm_mem_global_init and ttm_mem_global_release respectively. | ||
434 | </para> | ||
435 | <para> | ||
436 | Once your global TTM accounting structure is set up and initialized | ||
437 | (done by calling ttm_global_item_ref on the global object you | ||
438 | just created), you'll need to create a buffer object TTM to | ||
439 | provide a pool for buffer object allocation by clients and the | ||
440 | kernel itself. The type of this object should be TTM_GLOBAL_TTM_BO, | ||
441 | and its size should be sizeof(struct ttm_bo_global). Again, | ||
442 | driver specific init and release functions can be provided, | ||
443 | likely eventually calling ttm_bo_global_init and | ||
444 | ttm_bo_global_release, respectively. Also like the previous | ||
445 | object, ttm_global_item_ref is used to create an initial reference | ||
446 | count for the TTM, which will call your initialization function. | ||

450 | <title>GEM initialization</title> | ||
451 | <para> | ||
452 | GEM is an alternative to TTM, designed specifically for UMA | ||
453 | devices. It has simpler initialization and execution requirements | ||
454 | than TTM, but has no VRAM management capability. Core GEM | ||
455 | initialization is comprised of a basic drm_mm_init call to create | ||
456 | a GTT DRM MM object, which provides an address space pool for | ||
457 | object allocation. In a KMS configuration, the driver will | ||
458 | need to allocate and initialize a command ring buffer following | ||
459 | basic GEM initialization. Most UMA devices have a so-called | ||
460 | "stolen" memory region, which provides space for the initial | ||
461 | framebuffer and large, contiguous memory regions required by the | ||
462 | device. This space is not typically managed by GEM, and must | ||
463 | be initialized separately into its own DRM MM object. | ||
464 | </para> | ||
465 | <para> | ||
466 | Initialization will be driver specific, and will depend on | ||
467 | the architecture of the device. In the case of Intel | ||
468 | integrated graphics chips like 965GM, GEM initialization can | ||
469 | be done by calling the internal GEM init function, | ||
470 | i915_gem_do_init(). Since the 965GM is a UMA device | ||
471 | (i.e. it doesn't have dedicated VRAM), GEM will manage | ||
472 | making regular RAM available for GPU operations. Memory set | ||
473 | aside by the BIOS (called "stolen" memory by the i915 | ||
474 | driver) will be managed by the DRM memrange allocator; the | ||
475 | rest of the aperture will be managed by GEM. | ||

564 | <title>Helper functions and core functions</title> | ||
565 | <para> | ||
566 | Since many PC-class graphics devices have similar display output | ||
567 | designs, the DRM provides a set of helper functions to make | ||
568 | output management easier. The core helper routines handle | ||
569 | encoder re-routing and disabling of unused functions following | ||
570 | mode set. Using the helpers is optional, but recommended for | ||
571 | devices with PC-style architectures (i.e. a set of display planes | ||
572 | for feeding pixels to encoders which are in turn routed to | ||
573 | connectors). Devices with more complex requirements needing | ||
574 | finer grained management can opt to use the core callbacks | ||
575 | directly. | ||

581 | <para> | ||
582 | For each encoder, CRTC and connector, several functions must | ||
583 | be provided, depending on the object type. Encoder objects | ||
584 | need to provide a DPMS (basically on/off) function, mode fixup | ||
585 | (for converting requested modes into native hardware timings), | ||
586 | and prepare, set and commit functions for use by the core DRM | ||
587 | helper functions. Connector helpers need to provide mode fetch and | ||
588 | validity functions as well as an encoder matching function for | ||
589 | returning an ideal encoder for a given connector. The core | ||
590 | connector functions include a DPMS callback, (deprecated) | ||

606 | The DRM core exposes two vertical blank related ioctls: | ||
607 | DRM_IOCTL_WAIT_VBLANK and DRM_IOCTL_MODESET_CTL. | ||
608 | <!--!Edrivers/char/drm/drm_irq.c--> | ||
609 | </para> | ||
610 | <para> | ||
611 | DRM_IOCTL_WAIT_VBLANK takes a struct drm_wait_vblank structure | ||
612 | as its argument, and is used to block or request a signal when a | ||
613 | specified vblank event occurs. | ||
614 | </para> | ||
615 | <para> | ||
616 | DRM_IOCTL_MODESET_CTL should be called by application level | ||
617 | drivers before and after mode setting, since on many devices the | ||
618 | vertical blank counter will be reset at that time. Internally, | ||
619 | the DRM snapshots the last vblank count when the ioctl is called | ||
620 | with the _DRM_PRE_MODESET command so that the counter won't go | ||
621 | backwards (which is dealt with when _DRM_POST_MODESET is used). | ||
622 | </para> | ||
623 | <para> | ||
624 | To support the functions above, the DRM core provides several | ||
625 | helper functions for tracking vertical blank counters, and | ||
626 | requires drivers to provide several callbacks: | ||
627 | get_vblank_counter(), enable_vblank() and disable_vblank(). The | ||
628 | core uses get_vblank_counter() to keep the counter accurate | ||
629 | across interrupt disable periods. It should return the current | ||
630 | vertical blank event count, which is often tracked in a device | ||
631 | register. The enable and disable vblank callbacks should enable | ||
632 | and disable vertical blank interrupts, respectively. In the | ||
633 | absence of DRM clients waiting on vblank events, the core DRM | ||
634 | code will use the disable_vblank() function to disable | ||
635 | interrupts, which saves power. They'll be re-enabled again when | ||
636 | a client calls the vblank wait ioctl above. | ||
637 | </para> | ||
638 | <para> | ||
639 | Devices that don't provide a count register can simply use an | ||

672 | <title>The Graphics Execution Manager (GEM)</title> | ||
673 | <para> | ||
674 | GEM is an Intel project, authored by Eric Anholt and Keith | ||
675 | Packard. It provides simpler interfaces than TTM, and is well | ||
676 | suited for UMA devices. | ||
677 | </para> | ||
678 | <para> | ||
679 | GEM-enabled drivers must provide gem_init_object() and | ||
680 | gem_free_object() callbacks to support the core memory | ||
681 | allocation routines. They should also provide several driver | ||
682 | specific ioctls to support command execution, pinning, buffer | ||
683 | read & write, mapping, and domain ownership transfers. | ||
684 | </para> | ||
685 | <para> | ||
686 | On a fundamental level, GEM involves several operations: memory | ||
687 | allocation and freeing, command execution, and aperture management | ||
688 | at command execution time. Buffer object allocation is relatively | ||
689 | straightforward and largely provided by Linux's shmem layer, which | ||
690 | provides memory to back each object. When mapped into the GTT | ||
691 | or used in a command buffer, the backing pages for an object are | ||
692 | flushed to memory and marked write combined so as to be coherent | ||
693 | with the GPU. Likewise, when the GPU finishes rendering to an object, | ||
694 | if the CPU accesses it, it must be made coherent with the CPU's view | ||
695 | of memory, usually involving GPU cache flushing of various kinds. | ||
696 | This core CPU<->GPU coherency management is provided by the GEM | ||
697 | set domain function, which evaluates an object's current domain and | ||
698 | performs any necessary flushing or synchronization to put the object | ||
699 | into the desired coherency domain (note that the object may be busy, | ||
700 | i.e. an active render target; in that case the set domain function | ||
701 | will block the client and wait for rendering to complete before | ||
702 | performing any necessary flushing operations). | ||
703 | </para> | ||
704 | <para> | ||
705 | Perhaps the most important GEM function is providing a command | ||
706 | execution interface to clients. Client programs construct command | ||
707 | buffers containing references to previously allocated memory objects | ||
708 | and submit them to GEM. At that point, GEM will take care to bind | ||
709 | all the objects into the GTT, execute the buffer, and provide | ||
710 | necessary synchronization between clients accessing the same buffers. | ||
711 | This often involves evicting some objects from the GTT and re-binding | ||
712 | others (a fairly expensive operation), and providing relocation | ||
713 | support which hides fixed GTT offsets from clients. Clients must | ||
714 | take care not to submit command buffers that reference more objects | ||
715 | than can fit in the GTT or GEM will reject them and no rendering | ||
716 | will occur. Similarly, if several objects in the buffer require | ||
717 | fence registers to be allocated for correct rendering (e.g. 2D blits | ||
718 | on pre-965 chips), care must be taken not to require more fence | ||
719 | registers than are available to the client. Such resource management | ||
720 | should be abstracted from the client in libdrm. | ||

732 | </para> | ||
733 | <para> | ||
734 | A CRTC is an abstraction representing a part of the chip that | ||
735 | contains a pointer to a scanout buffer. Therefore, the number | ||
736 | of CRTCs available determines how many independent scanout | ||
737 | buffers can be active at any given time. The CRTC structure | ||
738 | contains several fields to support this: a pointer to some video | ||
739 | memory, a display mode, and an (x, y) offset into the video | ||
740 | memory to support panning or configurations where one piece of | ||
741 | video memory spans multiple CRTCs. | ||

744 | An encoder takes pixel data from a CRTC and converts it to a | ||
745 | format suitable for any attached connectors. On some devices, | ||
746 | it may be possible to have a CRTC send data to more than one | ||
747 | encoder. In that case, both encoders would receive data from | ||

752 | A connector is the final destination for pixel data on a device, | ||
753 | and usually connects directly to an external display device like | ||
754 | a monitor or laptop panel. A connector can only be attached to | ||
755 | one encoder at a time. The connector is also the structure | ||
756 | where information about the attached display is kept, so it | ||
757 | contains fields for display data, EDID data, DPMS & | ||

770 | and ultimately the connector(s) in the configuration. A framebuffer | ||
771 | is fundamentally a driver specific memory object, made into an opaque | ||

190 | stand for "kgdb over console". Today it is the primary mechanism | ||
191 | to configure how to communicate from gdb to kgdb as well as the | ||
192 | devices you want to use to interact with the kdb shell. | ||
193 | </para> | ||
194 | <para>For kgdb/gdb, kgdboc is designed to work with a single serial | ||
195 | port. It is intended to cover the circumstance where you want to | ||
196 | use a serial console as your primary console as well as using it to | ||
197 | perform kernel debugging. It is also possible to use kgdb on a | ||
198 | serial port which is not designated as a system console. Kgdboc | ||
199 | may be configured as a kernel built-in or a kernel loadable module. | ||
200 | You can only make use of <constant>kgdbwait</constant> and early | ||
201 | debugging if you build kgdboc into the kernel as a built-in. | ||
202 | <para>Optionally you can elect to activate kms (Kernel Mode | ||
203 | Setting) integration. When you use kms with kgdboc and you have a | ||
204 | video driver that has atomic mode setting hooks, it is possible to | ||
205 | enter the debugger on the graphics console. When the kernel | ||
206 | execution is resumed, the previous graphics mode will be restored. | ||
207 | This integration can serve as a useful tool to aid in diagnosing | ||
208 | crashes or doing analysis of memory with kdb while allowing the | ||
209 | full graphics console applications to run. | ||

32 | <para>The lircd userspace daemon reads raw IR data from the LIRC chardev. The | ||
33 | exact format of the data depends on what modes a driver supports, and what | ||
34 | mode has been selected. lircd obtains supported modes and sets the active mode | ||
35 | via the ioctl interface, detailed at <xref linkend="lirc_ioctl"/>. The generally | ||
36 | preferred mode is LIRC_MODE_MODE2, in which packets containing an int value | ||
37 | describing an IR signal are read from the chardev.</para> | ||

45 | <para>The data written to the chardev is a pulse/space sequence of integer | ||
46 | values. Pulses and spaces are only marked implicitly by their position. The | ||
47 | data must start and end with a pulse, therefore, the data must always include | ||
48 | an unevent number of samples. The write function must block until the data has | ||

56 | definition of struct file_operations, leaving us with an unsigned int | ||
57 | for the ioctl command and an unsigned long for the arg. For the purposes | ||
58 | of ioctl portability across 32-bit and 64-bit, these values are capped | ||

62 | In general each driver should have a default set of settings. The driver | ||

113 | sample rate or data format limitations. E.g. it's common that signals can | ||
114 | only be reported in 50 microsecond steps. This integer value is used by | ||
115 | lircd to automatically adjust the aeps tolerance value in the lircd | ||

121 | <listitem> | ||
122 | <para>Some devices have internal timers that can be used to detect when | ||
123 | there's no IR activity for a long time. This can help lircd in detecting | ||
124 | that a IR signal is finished and can speed up the decoding process. | ||
125 | Returns an integer value with the minimum/maximum timeout that can be | ||
126 | set. Some devices have a fixed timeout, in that case both ioctls will | ||
127 | return the same value even though the timeout cannot be changed.</para> | ||

133 | <para>Some devices are able to filter out spikes in the incoming signal | ||
134 | using given filter rules. These ioctls return the hardware capabilities | ||
135 | that describe the bounds of the possible filters. Filter settings depend | ||
136 | on the IR protocols that are expected. lircd derives the settings from | ||
137 | all protocols definitions found in its config file.</para> | ||

165 | is encoded by the least significant bit, etc. When an invalid bit mask | ||
166 | is given, i.e. a bit is set, even though the device does not have so many | ||
167 | transitters, then this ioctl returns the number of available transitters | ||
168 | and does nothing otherwise.</para> | ||

176 | supported by the hardware) disables all hardware timeouts and data should | ||

221 | <term>LIRC_SETUP_{START,END}</term> | ||
222 | <listitem> | ||
223 | <para>Setting of several driver parameters can be optimized by encapsulating | ||
224 | the according ioctl calls with LIRC_SETUP_START/LIRC_SETUP_END. When a | ||
225 | driver receives a LIRC_SETUP_START ioctl it can choose to not commit | ||
226 | further setting changes to the hardware until a LIRC_SETUP_END is received. | ||
227 | But this is open to the driver implementation and every driver must also | ||
228 | handle parameter changes which are not encapsulated by LIRC_SETUP_START | ||
229 | and LIRC_SETUP_END. Drivers can also choose to ignore these ioctls.</para> | ||

232 | <varlistentry> | ||
233 | <term>LIRC_SET_WIDEBAND_RECEIVER</term> | ||
234 | <listitem> | ||
235 | <para>Some receivers are equipped with special wide band receiver which is intended | ||
236 | to be used to learn output of existing remote. | ||
237 | Calling that ioctl with (1) will enable it, and with (0) disable it. | ||
238 | This might be useful of receivers that have otherwise narrow band receiver | ||
239 | that prevents them to be used with some remotes. | ||
240 | Wide band receiver might also be more precise | ||
241 | On the other hand its disadvantage it usually reduced range of reception. | ||
242 | Note: wide band receiver might be implictly enabled if you enable | ||
243 | carrier reports. In that case it will be disabled as soon as you disable | ||
244 | carrier reports. Trying to disable wide band receiver while carrier | ||
245 | reports are active will do nothing.</para> | ||

296 | 2.6.x -mm kernel patches | ||
297 | ------------------------ | ||
298 | These are experimental kernel patches released by Andrew Morton. Andrew | ||
299 | takes all of the different subsystem kernel trees and patches and mushes | ||
300 | them together, along with a lot of patches that have been plucked from | ||
301 | the linux-kernel mailing list. This tree serves as a proving ground for | ||
302 | new features and patches. Once a patch has proved its worth in -mm for | ||
303 | a while Andrew or the subsystem maintainer pushes it on to Linus for | ||
304 | inclusion in mainline. | ||
305 | |||
306 | It is heavily encouraged that all new patches get tested in the -mm tree | ||
307 | before they are sent to Linus for inclusion in the main kernel tree. Code | ||
308 | which does not make an appearance in -mm before the opening of the merge | ||
309 | window will prove hard to merge into the mainline. | ||
310 | |||
311 | These kernels are not appropriate for use on systems that are supposed | ||
312 | to be stable and they are more risky to run than any of the other | ||
313 | branches. | ||
314 | |||
315 | If you wish to help out with the kernel development process, please test | ||
316 | and use these kernel releases and provide feedback to the linux-kernel | ||
317 | mailing list if you have any problems, and if everything works properly. | ||
318 | |||
319 | In addition to all the other experimental patches, these kernels usually | ||
320 | also contain any changes in the mainline -git kernels available at the | ||
321 | time of release. | ||
322 | |||
323 | The -mm kernels are not released on a fixed schedule, but usually a few | ||
324 | -mm kernels are released in between each -rc kernel (1 to 3 is common). | ||

1 | RCU and lockdep checking | ||
2 | |||
3 | All flavors of RCU have lockdep checking available, so that lockdep is | ||
4 | aware of when each task enters and leaves any flavor of RCU read-side | ||
5 | critical section. Each flavor of RCU is tracked separately (but note | ||
6 | that this is not the case in 2.6.32 and earlier). This allows lockdep's | ||
7 | tracking to include RCU state, which can sometimes help when debugging | ||
8 | deadlocks and the like. | ||
9 | |||
10 | In addition, RCU provides the following primitives that check lockdep's | ||
11 | state: | ||
12 | |||
13 | rcu_read_lock_held() for normal RCU. | ||
14 | rcu_read_lock_bh_held() for RCU-bh. | ||
15 | rcu_read_lock_sched_held() for RCU-sched. | ||
16 | srcu_read_lock_held() for SRCU. | ||
17 | |||
18 | These functions are conservative, and will therefore return 1 if they | ||
19 | aren't certain (for example, if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is not set). | ||
20 | This prevents things like WARN_ON(!rcu_read_lock_held()) from giving false | ||
21 | positives when lockdep is disabled. | ||
22 | |||
23 | In addition, a separate kernel config parameter CONFIG_PROVE_RCU enables | ||
24 | checking of rcu_dereference() primitives: | ||
25 | |||
26 | rcu_dereference(p): | ||
27 | Check for RCU read-side critical section. | ||
28 | rcu_dereference_bh(p): | ||
29 | Check for RCU-bh read-side critical section. | ||
30 | rcu_dereference_sched(p): | ||
31 | Check for RCU-sched read-side critical section. | ||
32 | srcu_dereference(p, sp): | ||
33 | Check for SRCU read-side critical section. | ||
34 | rcu_dereference_check(p, c): | ||
35 | Use explicit check expression "c". This is useful in | ||
36 | code that is invoked by both readers and updaters. | ||
37 | rcu_dereference_raw(p) | ||
38 | Don't check. (Use sparingly, if at all.) | ||
39 | rcu_dereference_protected(p, c): | ||
40 | Use explicit check expression "c", and omit all barriers | ||
41 | and compiler constraints. This is useful when the data | ||
42 | structure cannot change, for example, in code that is | ||
43 | invoked only by updaters. | ||
44 | rcu_access_pointer(p): | ||
45 | Return the value of the pointer and omit all barriers, | ||
46 | but retain the compiler constraints that prevent duplicating | ||
47 | or coalescsing. This is useful when when testing the | ||
48 | value of the pointer itself, for example, against NULL. | ||
49 | |||
50 | The rcu_dereference_check() check expression can be any boolean | ||
51 | expression, but would normally include one of the rcu_read_lock_held() | ||
52 | family of functions and a lockdep expression. However, any boolean | ||
53 | expression can be used. For a moderately ornate example, consider | ||
54 | the following: | ||
55 | |||
56 | file = rcu_dereference_check(fdt->fd[fd], | ||
57 | rcu_read_lock_held() || | ||
58 | lockdep_is_held(&files->file_lock) || | ||
59 | atomic_read(&files->count) == 1); | ||
60 | |||
61 | This expression picks up the pointer "fdt->fd[fd]" in an RCU-safe manner, | ||
62 | and, if CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is configured, verifies that this expression | ||
63 | is used in: | ||
64 | |||
65 | 1. An RCU read-side critical section, or | ||
66 | 2. with files->file_lock held, or | ||
67 | 3. on an unshared files_struct. | ||
68 | |||
69 | In case (1), the pointer is picked up in an RCU-safe manner for vanilla | ||
70 | RCU read-side critical sections, in case (2) the ->file_lock prevents | ||
71 | any change from taking place, and finally, in case (3) the current task | ||
72 | is the only task accessing the file_struct, again preventing any change | ||
73 | from taking place. If the above statement was invoked only from updater | ||
74 | code, it could instead be written as follows: | ||
75 | |||
76 | file = rcu_dereference_protected(fdt->fd[fd], | ||
77 | lockdep_is_held(&files->file_lock) || | ||
78 | atomic_read(&files->count) == 1); | ||
79 | |||
80 | This would verify cases #2 and #3 above, and furthermore lockdep would | ||
81 | complain if this was used in an RCU read-side critical section unless one | ||
82 | of these two cases held. Because rcu_dereference_protected() omits all | ||
83 | barriers and compiler constraints, it generates better code than do the | ||
84 | other flavors of rcu_dereference(). On the other hand, it is illegal | ||
85 | to use rcu_dereference_protected() if either the RCU-protected pointer | ||
86 | or the RCU-protected data that it points to can change concurrently. | ||
87 | |||
88 | There are currently only "universal" versions of the rcu_assign_pointer() | ||
89 | and RCU list-/tree-traversal primitives, which do not (yet) check for | ||
90 | being in an RCU read-side critical section. In the future, separate | ||
91 | versions of these primitives might be created. | ||

1 | Using RCU's CPU Stall Detector | ||
2 | |||
3 | The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR kernel config parameter enables | ||
4 | RCU's CPU stall detector, which detects conditions that unduly delay | ||
5 | RCU grace periods. The stall detector's idea of what constitutes | ||
6 | "unduly delayed" is controlled by a set of C preprocessor macros: | ||
7 | |||
8 | RCU_SECONDS_TILL_STALL_CHECK | ||
9 | |||
10 | This macro defines the period of time that RCU will wait from | ||
11 | the beginning of a grace period until it issues an RCU CPU | ||
12 | stall warning. This time period is normally ten seconds. | ||
13 | |||
14 | RCU_SECONDS_TILL_STALL_RECHECK | ||
15 | |||
16 | This macro defines the period of time that RCU will wait after | ||
17 | issuing a stall warning until it issues another stall warning | ||
18 | for the same stall. This time period is normally set to thirty | ||
19 | seconds. | ||
20 | |||
21 | RCU_STALL_RAT_DELAY | ||
22 | |||
23 | The CPU stall detector tries to make the offending CPU print its | ||
24 | own warnings, as this often gives better-quality stack traces. | ||
25 | However, if the offending CPU does not detect its own stall in | ||
26 | the number of jiffies specified by RCU_STALL_RAT_DELAY, then | ||
27 | some other CPU will complain. This delay is normally set to | ||
28 | two jiffies. | ||
29 | |||
30 | When a CPU detects that it is stalling, it will print a message similar | ||
31 | to the following: | ||
32 | |||
33 | INFO: rcu_sched_state detected stall on CPU 5 (t=2500 jiffies) | ||
34 | |||
35 | This message indicates that CPU 5 detected that it was causing a stall, | ||
36 | and that the stall was affecting RCU-sched. This message will normally be | ||
37 | followed by a stack dump of the offending CPU. On TREE_RCU kernel builds, | ||
38 | RCU and RCU-sched are implemented by the same underlying mechanism, | ||
39 | while on TREE_PREEMPT_RCU kernel builds, RCU is instead implemented | ||
40 | by rcu_preempt_state. | ||
41 | |||
42 | On the other hand, if the offending CPU fails to print out a stall-warning | ||
43 | message quickly enough, some other CPU will print a message similar to | ||
44 | the following: | ||
45 | |||
46 | INFO: rcu_bh_state detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 3 5 } (detected by 2, 2502 jiffies) | ||
47 | |||
48 | This message indicates that CPU 2 detected that CPUs 3 and 5 were both | ||
49 | causing stalls, and that the stall was affecting RCU-bh. This message | ||
50 | will normally be followed by stack dumps for each CPU. Please note that | ||
51 | TREE_PREEMPT_RCU builds can be stalled by tasks as well as by CPUs, | ||
52 | and that the tasks will be indicated by PID, for example, "P3421". | ||
53 | It is even possible for a rcu_preempt_state stall to be caused by both | ||
54 | CPUs -and- tasks, in which case the offending CPUs and tasks will all | ||
55 | be called out in the list. | ||
56 | |||
57 | Finally, if the grace period ends just as the stall warning starts | ||
58 | printing, there will be a spurious stall-warning message: | ||
59 | |||
60 | INFO: rcu_bh_state detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: { } (detected by 4, 2502 jiffies) | ||
61 | |||
62 | This is rare, but does happen from time to time in real life. | ||
63 | |||
64 | So your kernel printed an RCU CPU stall warning. The next question is | ||
65 | "What caused it?" The following problems can result in RCU CPU stall | ||
66 | warnings: | ||
67 | |||
68 | o A CPU looping in an RCU read-side critical section. | ||
69 | |||
70 | o A CPU looping with interrupts disabled. This condition can | ||
71 | result in RCU-sched and RCU-bh stalls. | ||
72 | |||
73 | o A CPU looping with preemption disabled. This condition can | ||
74 | result in RCU-sched stalls and, if ksoftirqd is in use, RCU-bh | ||
75 | stalls. | ||
76 | |||
77 | o A CPU looping with bottom halves disabled. This condition can | ||
78 | result in RCU-sched and RCU-bh stalls. | ||
79 | |||
80 | o For !CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels, a CPU looping anywhere in the kernel | ||
81 | without invoking schedule(). | ||
82 | |||
83 | o A bug in the RCU implementation. | ||
84 | |||
85 | o A hardware failure. This is quite unlikely, but has occurred | ||
86 | at least once in real life. A CPU failed in a running system, | ||
87 | becoming unresponsive, but not causing an immediate crash. | ||
88 | This resulted in a series of RCU CPU stall warnings, eventually | ||
89 | leading the realization that the CPU had failed. | ||
90 | |||
91 | The RCU, RCU-sched, and RCU-bh implementations have CPU stall | ||
92 | warning. SRCU does not have its own CPU stall warnings, but its | ||
93 | calls to synchronize_sched() will result in RCU-sched detecting | ||
94 | RCU-sched-related CPU stalls. Please note that RCU only detects | ||
95 | CPU stalls when there is a grace period in progress. No grace period, | ||
96 | no CPU stall warnings. | ||
97 | |||
98 | To diagnose the cause of the stall, inspect the stack traces. | ||
99 | The offending function will usually be near the top of the stack. | ||
100 | If you have a series of stall warnings from a single extended stall, | ||
101 | comparing the stack traces can often help determine where the stall | ||
102 | is occurring, which will usually be in the function nearest the top of | ||
103 | that portion of the stack which remains the same from trace to trace. | ||
104 | If you can reliably trigger the stall, ftrace can be quite helpful. | ||
105 | |||
106 | RCU bugs can often be debugged with the help of CONFIG_RCU_TRACE. | ||

2 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
3 | |||
4 | EINJ provides a hardware error injection mechanism | ||
5 | It is very useful for debugging and testing of other APEI and RAS features. | ||
6 | |||
7 | To use EINJ, make sure the following are enabled in your kernel | ||

14 | The user interface of EINJ is debug file system, under the | ||
15 | directory apei/einj. The following files are provided. | ||
16 | |||
17 | - available_error_type | ||
18 | Reading this file returns the error injection capability of the | ||
19 | platform, that is, which error types are supported. The error type | ||
20 | definition is as follow, the left field is the error type value, the | ||
21 | right field is error description. | ||

1 | SPEAr ARM Linux Overview | ||
2 | ========================== | ||
3 | |||
4 | Introduction | ||
5 | ------------ | ||
6 | |||
7 | SPEAr (Structured Processor Enhanced Architecture). | ||
8 | weblink : http://www.st.com/spear | ||
9 | |||
10 | The ST Microelectronics SPEAr range of ARM9/CortexA9 System-on-Chip CPUs are | ||
11 | supported by the 'spear' platform of ARM Linux. Currently SPEAr300, | ||
12 | SPEAr310, SPEAr320 and SPEAr600 SOCs are supported. Support for the SPEAr13XX | ||
13 | series is in progress. | ||
14 | |||
15 | Hierarchy in SPEAr is as follows: | ||
16 | |||
17 | SPEAr (Platform) | ||
18 | - SPEAr3XX (3XX SOC series, based on ARM9) | ||
19 | - SPEAr300 (SOC) | ||
20 | - SPEAr300_EVB (Evaluation Board) | ||
21 | - SPEAr310 (SOC) | ||
22 | - SPEAr310_EVB (Evaluation Board) | ||
23 | - SPEAr320 (SOC) | ||
24 | - SPEAr320_EVB (Evaluation Board) | ||
25 | - SPEAr6XX (6XX SOC series, based on ARM9) | ||
26 | - SPEAr600 (SOC) | ||
27 | - SPEAr600_EVB (Evaluation Board) | ||
28 | - SPEAr13XX (13XX SOC series, based on ARM CORTEXA9) | ||
29 | - SPEAr1300 (SOC) | ||
30 | |||

41 | Layout | ||
42 | ------ | ||
43 | |||
44 | The common files for multiple machine families (SPEAr3XX, SPEAr6XX and | ||
45 | SPEAr13XX) are located in the platform code contained in arch/arm/plat-spear | ||
46 | with headers in plat/. | ||
47 | |||
48 | Each machine series have a directory with name arch/arm/mach-spear followed by | ||
49 | series name. Like mach-spear3xx, mach-spear6xx and mach-spear13xx. | ||
50 | |||
51 | Common file for machines of spear3xx family is mach-spear3xx/spear3xx.c and for | ||
52 | spear6xx is mach-spear6xx/spear6xx.c. mach-spear* also contain soc/machine | ||
53 | specific files, like spear300.c, spear310.c, spear320.c and spear600.c. | ||
54 | mach-spear* also contains board specific files for each machine type. | ||

41 | GPIOLIB conversion | ||
42 | ------------------ | ||
43 | |||
44 | If you need to convert your board or driver to use gpiolib from the exiting | ||
45 | s3c2410 api, then here are some notes on the process. | ||
46 | |||
47 | 1) If your board is exclusively using an GPIO, say to control peripheral | ||
48 | power, then it will require to claim the gpio with gpio_request() before | ||
49 | it can use it. | ||
50 | |||
51 | It is recommended to check the return value, with at least WARN_ON() | ||
52 | during initialisation. | ||
53 | |||
54 | 2) The s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin() can be directly replaced with s3c_gpio_cfgpin() | ||
55 | as they have the same arguments, and can either take the pin specific | ||
56 | values, or the more generic special-function-number arguments. | ||
57 | |||
58 | 3) s3c2410_gpio_pullup() changs have the problem that whilst the | ||
59 | s3c2410_gpio_pullup(x, 1) can be easily translated to the | ||
60 | s3c_gpio_setpull(x, S3C_GPIO_PULL_NONE), the s3c2410_gpio_pullup(x, 0) | ||
61 | are not so easy. | ||
62 | |||
63 | The s3c2410_gpio_pullup(x, 0) case enables the pull-up (or in the case | ||
64 | of some of the devices, a pull-down) and as such the new API distinguishes | ||
65 | between the UP and DOWN case. There is currently no 'just turn on' setting | ||
66 | which may be required if this becomes a problem. | ||
67 | |||
68 | 4) s3c2410_gpio_setpin() can be replaced by gpio_set_value(), the old call | ||
69 | does not implicitly configure the relevant gpio to output. The gpio | ||
70 | direction should be changed before using gpio_set_value(). | ||
71 | |||
72 | 5) s3c2410_gpio_getpin() is replaceable by gpio_get_value() if the pin | ||
73 | has been set to input. It is currently unknown what the behaviour is | ||
74 | when using gpio_get_value() on an output pin (s3c2410_gpio_getpin | ||
75 | would return the value the pin is supposed to be outputting). | ||
76 | |||
77 | 6) s3c2410_gpio_getirq() should be directly replacable with the | ||
78 | gpio_to_irq() call. | ||
79 | |||
80 | The s3c2410_gpio and gpio_ calls have always operated on the same gpio | ||
81 | numberspace, so there is no problem with converting the gpio numbering | ||
82 | between the calls. | ||

14 | See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/GPIO.txt for more information | ||

16 | with the core samsung implementation described in this document. | ||
17 | |||
18 | |||
19 | GPIOLIB integration | ||
20 | ------------------- | ||
21 | |||
22 | The gpio implementation uses gpiolib as much as possible, only providing | ||
23 | specific calls for the items that require Samsung specific handling, such | ||
24 | as pin special-function or pull resistor control. | ||
25 | |||
26 | GPIO numbering is synchronised between the Samsung and gpiolib system. | ||
27 | |||
28 | |||
29 | PIN configuration | ||
30 | ----------------- | ||
31 | |||
32 | Pin configuration is specific to the Samsung architecutre, with each SoC | ||
33 | registering the necessary information for the core gpio configuration | ||
34 | implementation to configure pins as necessary. | ||
35 | |||
36 | The s3c_gpio_cfgpin() and s3c_gpio_setpull() provide the means for a | ||

1 | Samsung ARM Linux Overview | ||
2 | ========================== | ||
3 | |||
4 | Introduction | ||
5 | ------------ | ||
6 | |||
7 | The Samsung range of ARM SoCs spans many similar devices, from the initial | ||
8 | ARM9 through to the newest ARM cores. This document shows an overview of | ||
9 | the current kernel support, how to use it and where to find the code | ||
10 | that supports this. | ||
11 | |||
12 | The currently supported SoCs are: | ||
13 | |||
14 | - S3C24XX: See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for full list | ||
15 | - S3C64XX: S3C6400 and S3C6410 | ||
16 | - S5P6440 | ||
17 | - S5P6442 | ||
18 | - S5PC100 | ||
19 | - S5PC110 / S5PV210 | ||
20 | |||
21 | |||
22 | S3C24XX Systems | ||
23 | --------------- | ||
24 | |||
25 | There is still documentation in Documnetation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/ which | ||
26 | deals with the architecture and drivers specific to these devices. | ||
27 | |||
28 | See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for more information | ||
29 | on the implementation details and specific support. | ||
30 | |||
31 | |||
32 | Configuration | ||
33 | ------------- | ||
34 | |||
35 | A number of configurations are supplied, as there is no current way of | ||
36 | unifying all the SoCs into one kernel. | ||
37 | |||
38 | s5p6440_defconfig - S5P6440 specific default configuration | ||
39 | s5p6442_defconfig - S5P6442 specific default configuration | ||
40 | s5pc100_defconfig - S5PC100 specific default configuration | ||
41 | s5pc110_defconfig - S5PC110 specific default configuration | ||
42 | s5pv210_defconfig - S5PV210 specific default configuration | ||
43 | |||
44 | |||
45 | Layout | ||
46 | ------ | ||
47 | |||
48 | The directory layout is currently being restructured, and consists of | ||
49 | several platform directories and then the machine specific directories | ||
50 | of the CPUs being built for. | ||
51 | |||
52 | plat-samsung provides the base for all the implementations, and is the | ||
53 | last in the line of include directories that are processed for the build | ||
54 | specific information. It contains the base clock, GPIO and device definitions | ||
55 | to get the system running. | ||
56 | |||
57 | plat-s3c24xx is for s3c24xx specific builds, see the S3C24XX docs. | ||
58 | |||
59 | plat-s5p is for s5p specific builds, and contains common support for the | ||
60 | S5P specific systems. Not all S5Ps use all the features in this directory | ||
61 | due to differences in the hardware. | ||
62 | |||
63 | |||
64 | Layout changes | ||
65 | -------------- | ||
66 | |||
67 | The old plat-s3c and plat-s5pc1xx directories have been removed, with | ||
68 | support moved to either plat-samsung or plat-s5p as necessary. These moves | ||
69 | where to simplify the include and dependency issues involved with having | ||
70 | so many different platform directories. | ||
71 | |||
72 | It was decided to remove plat-s5pc1xx as some of the support was already | ||
73 | in plat-s5p or plat-samsung, with the S5PC110 support added with S5PV210 | ||
74 | the only user was the S5PC100. The S5PC100 specific items where moved to | ||
75 | arch/arm/mach-s5pc100. | ||

18 | How to mount the root file system in uClinux/Blackfin | ||
19 | ----------------------------------------------------- | ||
20 | |||
21 | 1 Mounting EXT3 File system. | ||
22 | ------------------------ | ||
23 | |||
24 | Creating an EXT3 File system for uClinux/Blackfin: | ||
25 | |||
26 | |||
27 | Please follow the steps to form the EXT3 File system and mount the same as root | ||
28 | file system. | ||
29 | |||
30 | a Make an ext3 file system as large as you want the final root file | ||
31 | system. | ||
32 | |||
33 | mkfs.ext3 /dev/ram0 <your-rootfs-size-in-1k-blocks> | ||
34 | |||
35 | b Mount this Empty file system on a free directory as: | ||
36 | |||
37 | mount -t ext3 /dev/ram0 ./test | ||
38 | where ./test is the empty directory. | ||
39 | |||
40 | c Copy your root fs directory that you have so carefully made over. | ||
41 | |||
42 | cp -af /tmp/my_final_rootfs_files/* ./test | ||
43 | |||
44 | (For ex: cp -af uClinux-dist/romfs/* ./test) | ||
45 | |||
46 | d If you have done everything right till now you should be able to see | ||
47 | the required "root" dir's (that's etc, root, bin, lib, sbin...) | ||
48 | |||
49 | e Now unmount the file system | ||
50 | |||
51 | umount ./test | ||
52 | |||
53 | f Create the root file system image. | ||
54 | |||
55 | dd if=/dev/ram0 bs=1k count=<your-rootfs-size-in-1k-blocks> \ | ||
56 | > ext3fs.img | ||
57 | |||
58 | |||
59 | Now you have to tell the kernel that will be mounting this file system as | ||
60 | rootfs. | ||
61 | So do a make menuconfig under kernel and select the Ext3 journaling file system | ||
62 | support under File system --> submenu. | ||
63 | |||
64 | |||
65 | 2. Mounting EXT2 File system. | ||
66 | ------------------------- | ||
67 | |||
68 | By default the ext2 file system image will be created if you invoke make from | ||
69 | the top uClinux-dist directory. | ||
70 | |||
71 | |||
72 | 3. Mounting CRAMFS File System | ||
73 | ---------------------------- | ||
74 | |||
75 | To create a CRAMFS file system image execute the command | ||
76 | |||
77 | mkfs.cramfs ./test cramfs.img | ||
78 | |||
79 | where ./test is the target directory. | ||
80 | |||
81 | |||
82 | 4. Mounting ROMFS File System | ||
83 | -------------------------- | ||
84 | |||
85 | To create a ROMFS file system image execute the command | ||
86 | |||
87 | genromfs -v -V "ROMdisk" -f romfs.img -d ./test | ||
88 | |||
89 | where ./test is the target directory | ||
90 | |||
91 | |||
92 | 5. Mounting the JFFS2 Filesystem | ||
93 | ----------------------------- | ||
94 | |||
95 | To create a compressed JFFS filesystem (JFFS2), please execute the command | ||
96 | |||
97 | mkfs.jffs2 -d ./test -o jffs2.img | ||
98 | |||
99 | where ./test is the target directory. | ||
100 | |||
101 | However, please make sure the following is in your kernel config. | ||
102 | |||
103 | /* | ||
104 | * RAM/ROM/Flash chip drivers | ||
105 | */ | ||
106 | #define CONFIG_MTD_CFI 1 | ||
107 | #define CONFIG_MTD_ROM 1 | ||
108 | /* | ||
109 | * Mapping drivers for chip access | ||
110 | */ | ||
111 | #define CONFIG_MTD_COMPLEX_MAPPINGS 1 | ||
112 | #define CONFIG_MTD_BF533 1 | ||
113 | #undef CONFIG_MTD_UCLINUX | ||
114 | |||
115 | Through the u-boot boot loader, use the jffs2.img in the corresponding | ||
116 | partition made in linux-2.6.x/drivers/mtd/maps/bf533_flash.c. | ||
117 | |||
118 | NOTE - Currently the Flash driver is available only for EZKIT. Watch out for a | ||
119 | STAMP driver soon. | ||
120 | |||
121 | |||
122 | 6. Mounting the NFS File system | ||
123 | ----------------------------- | ||
124 | |||
125 | For mounting the NFS please do the following in the kernel config. | ||
126 | |||
127 | In Networking Support --> Networking options --> TCP/IP networking --> | ||
128 | IP: kernel level autoconfiguration | ||
129 | |||
130 | Enable BOOTP Support. | ||
131 | |||
132 | In Kernel hacking --> Compiled-in kernel boot parameter add the following | ||
133 | |||
134 | root=/dev/nfs rw ip=bootp | ||
135 | |||
136 | In File system --> Network File system, Enable | ||
137 | |||
138 | NFS file system support --> NFSv3 client support | ||
139 | Root File system on NFS | ||
140 | |||
141 | in uClibc menuconfig, do the following | ||
142 | In Networking Support | ||
143 | enable Remote Procedure Call (RPC) support | ||
144 | Full RPC Support | ||
145 | |||
146 | On the Host side, ensure that /etc/dhcpd.conf looks something like this | ||
147 | |||
148 | ddns-update-style ad-hoc; | ||
149 | allow bootp; | ||
150 | subnet 10.100.4.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { | ||

157 | option root-path "/home/nfsmount"; | ||
158 | } | ||
159 | } | ||
160 | |||
161 | ensure that /etc/exports looks something like this | ||
162 | /home/nfsmount *(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash) | ||
163 | |||
164 | run the following commands as root (may differ depending on your | ||
165 | distribution) : | ||

1 | SPI Chip Select behavior: | ||
2 | |||
3 | With the Blackfin on-chip SPI peripheral, there is some logic tied to the CPHA | ||
4 | bit whether the Slave Select Line is controlled by hardware (CPHA=0) or | ||
5 | controlled by software (CPHA=1). However, the Linux SPI bus driver assumes that | ||
6 | the Slave Select is always under software control and being asserted during | ||
7 | the entire SPI transfer. - And not just bits_per_word duration. | ||
8 | |||
9 | In most cases you can utilize SPI MODE_3 instead of MODE_0 to work-around this | ||
10 | behavior. If your SPI slave device in question requires SPI MODE_0 or MODE_2 | ||
11 | timing, you can utilize the GPIO controlled SPI Slave Select option instead. | ||
12 | |||
13 | You can even use the same pin whose peripheral role is a SSEL, | ||
14 | but use it as a GPIO instead. | ||

1 | CFQ ioscheduler tunables | ||
2 | ======================== | ||
3 | |||
4 | slice_idle | ||
5 | ---------- | ||
6 | This specifies how long CFQ should idle for next request on certain cfq queues | ||
7 | (for sequential workloads) and service trees (for random workloads) before | ||
8 | queue is expired and CFQ selects next queue to dispatch from. | ||
9 | |||
10 | By default slice_idle is a non-zero value. That means by default we idle on | ||
11 | queues/service trees. This can be very helpful on highly seeky media like | ||
12 | single spindle SATA/SAS disks where we can cut down on overall number of | ||
13 | seeks and see improved throughput. | ||
14 | |||
15 | Setting slice_idle to 0 will remove all the idling on queues/service tree | ||
16 | level and one should see an overall improved throughput on faster storage | ||
17 | devices like multiple SATA/SAS disks in hardware RAID configuration. The down | ||
18 | side is that isolation provided from WRITES also goes down and notion of | ||
19 | IO priority becomes weaker. | ||
20 | |||
21 | So depending on storage and workload, it might be useful to set slice_idle=0. | ||
22 | In general I think for SATA/SAS disks and software RAID of SATA/SAS disks | ||
23 | keeping slice_idle enabled should be useful. For any configurations where | ||
24 | there are multiple spindles behind single LUN (Host based hardware RAID | ||
25 | controller or for storage arrays), setting slice_idle=0 might end up in better | ||
26 | throughput and acceptable latencies. | ||
27 | |||
28 | CFQ IOPS Mode for group scheduling | ||
29 | =================================== | ||
30 | Basic CFQ design is to provide priority based time slices. Higher priority | ||
31 | process gets bigger time slice and lower priority process gets smaller time | ||
32 | slice. Measuring time becomes harder if storage is fast and supports NCQ and | ||
33 | it would be better to dispatch multiple requests from multiple cfq queues in | ||
34 | request queue at a time. In such scenario, it is not possible to measure time | ||
35 | consumed by single queue accurately. | ||
36 | |||
37 | What is possible though is to measure number of requests dispatched from a | ||
38 | single queue and also allow dispatch from multiple cfq queue at the same time. | ||
39 | This effectively becomes the fairness in terms of IOPS (IO operations per | ||
40 | second). | ||
41 | |||
42 | If one sets slice_idle=0 and if storage supports NCQ, CFQ internally switches | ||
43 | to IOPS mode and starts providing fairness in terms of number of requests | ||
44 | dispatched. Note that this mode switching takes effect only for group | ||
45 | scheduling. For non-cgroup users nothing should change. | ||

247 | /sys/block/<disk>/queue/iosched/slice_idle | ||
248 | ------------------------------------------ | ||
249 | On a faster hardware CFQ can be slow, especially with sequential workload. | ||
250 | This happens because CFQ idles on a single queue and single queue might not | ||
251 | drive deeper request queue depths to keep the storage busy. In such scenarios | ||
252 | one can try setting slice_idle=0 and that would switch CFQ to IOPS | ||
253 | (IO operations per second) mode on NCQ supporting hardware. | ||
254 | |||
255 | That means CFQ will not idle between cfq queues of a cfq group and hence be | ||
256 | able to driver higher queue depth and achieve better throughput. That also | ||
257 | means that cfq provides fairness among groups in terms of IOPS and not in | ||
258 | terms of disk time. | ||
259 | |||
260 | /sys/block/<disk>/queue/iosched/group_idle | ||
261 | ------------------------------------------ | ||
262 | If one disables idling on individual cfq queues and cfq service trees by | ||
263 | setting slice_idle=0, group_idle kicks in. That means CFQ will still idle | ||
264 | on the group in an attempt to provide fairness among groups. | ||
265 | |||
266 | By default group_idle is same as slice_idle and does not do anything if | ||
267 | slice_idle is enabled. | ||
268 | |||
269 | One can experience an overall throughput drop if you have created multiple | ||
270 | groups and put applications in that group which are not driving enough | ||
271 | IO to keep disk busy. In that case set group_idle=0, and CFQ will not idle | ||
272 | on individual groups and throughput should improve. | ||

439 | -------------------- | ||
440 | |||
441 | There is mechanism which allows to get notifications about changing | ||
442 | status of a cgroup. | ||
443 | |||
444 | To register new notification handler you need: | ||
445 | - create a file descriptor for event notification using eventfd(2); | ||
446 | - open a control file to be monitored (e.g. memory.usage_in_bytes); | ||
447 | - write "<event_fd> <control_fd> <args>" to cgroup.event_control. | ||
448 | Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation; | ||
449 | |||
450 | eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the | ||
451 | cgroup is removed. | ||
452 | |||
453 | To unregister notification handler just close eventfd. | ||
454 | |||
455 | NOTE: Support of notifications should be implemented for the control | ||
456 | file. See documentation for the subsystem. | ||

37 | - private LRU and reclaim routine. (system's global LRU and private LRU | ||
38 | work independently from each other) | ||
39 | - optionally, memory+swap usage can be accounted and limited. | ||

43 | - usage threshold notifier | ||
44 | - oom-killer disable knob and oom-notifier | ||
45 | - Root cgroup has no limit controls. | ||

417 | 8. TODO | 529 | 8. Move charges at task migration |
530 | |||
531 | Users can move charges associated with a task along with task migration, that | ||
532 | is, uncharge task's pages from the old cgroup and charge them to the new cgroup. | ||
533 | This feature is not supported in !CONFIG_MMU environments because of lack of | ||
534 | page tables. | ||
535 | |||
536 | 8.1 Interface | ||
537 | |||
538 | This feature is disabled by default. It can be enabled(and disabled again) by | ||
539 | writing to memory.move_charge_at_immigrate of the destination cgroup. | ||
540 | |||
541 | If you want to enable it: | ||
542 | |||
543 | # echo (some positive value) > memory.move_charge_at_immigrate | ||
544 | |||
545 | Note: Each bits of move_charge_at_immigrate has its own meaning about what type | ||
546 | of charges should be moved. See 8.2 for details. | ||
547 | Note: Charges are moved only when you move mm->owner, IOW, a leader of a thread | ||
548 | group. | ||
549 | Note: If we cannot find enough space for the task in the destination cgroup, we | ||
550 | try to make space by reclaiming memory. Task migration may fail if we | ||
551 | cannot make enough space. | ||
552 | Note: It can take several seconds if you move charges much. | ||
553 | |||

562 | a page or a swap can be moved only when it is charged to the task's current(old) | ||
563 | memory cgroup. | ||
564 | |||
565 | bit | what type of charges would be moved ? | ||
566 | -----+------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
567 | 0 | A charge of an anonymous page(or swap of it) used by the target task. | ||

572 | | and swaps of tmpfs file) mmapped by the target task. Unlike the case of | ||
573 | | anonymous pages, file pages(and swaps) in the range mmapped by the task | ||
574 | | will be moved even if the task hasn't done page fault, i.e. they might | ||
575 | | not be the task's "RSS", but other task's "RSS" that maps the same file. | ||
576 | | And mapcount of the page is ignored(the page can be moved even if | ||
577 | | page_mapcount(page) > 1). You must enable Swap Extension(see 2.4) to | ||
578 | | enable move of swap charges. | ||

581 | |||
582 | - Implement madvise(2) to let users decide the vma to be moved or not to be | ||
583 | moved. | ||
584 | - All of moving charge operations are done under cgroup_mutex. It's not good | ||
585 | behavior to hold the mutex too long, so we may need some trick. | ||
586 | |||
587 | 9. Memory thresholds | ||
588 | |||
589 | Memory cgroup implements memory thresholds using cgroups notification | ||
590 | API (see cgroups.txt). It allows to register multiple memory and memsw | ||
591 | thresholds and gets notifications when it crosses. | ||
592 | |||
593 | To register a threshold application need: | ||
594 | - create an eventfd using eventfd(2); | ||
595 | - open memory.usage_in_bytes or memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes; | ||
596 | - write string like "<event_fd> <fd of memory.usage_in_bytes> <threshold>" to | ||
597 | cgroup.event_control. | ||
598 | |||
599 | Application will be notified through eventfd when memory usage crosses | ||
600 | threshold in any direction. | ||
601 | |||
602 | It's applicable for root and non-root cgroup. | ||
603 | |||
604 | 10. OOM Control | ||
605 | |||
606 | memory.oom_control file is for OOM notification and other controls. | ||
607 | |||
608 | Memory cgroup implements OOM notifier using cgroup notification | ||
609 | API (See cgroups.txt). It allows to register multiple OOM notification | ||
610 | delivery and gets notification when OOM happens. | ||
611 | |||
612 | To register a notifier, application need: | ||
613 | - create an eventfd using eventfd(2) | ||
614 | - open memory.oom_control file | ||
615 | - write string like "<event_fd> <fd of memory.oom_control>" to | ||
616 | cgroup.event_control | ||
617 | |||
618 | Application will be notified through eventfd when OOM happens. | ||
619 | OOM notification doesn't work for root cgroup. | ||
620 | |||
621 | You can disable OOM-killer by writing "1" to memory.oom_control file, as: | ||
622 | |||
623 | #echo 1 > memory.oom_control | ||
624 | |||
625 | This operation is only allowed to the top cgroup of sub-hierarchy. | ||
626 | If OOM-killer is disabled, tasks under cgroup will hang/sleep | ||
627 | in memory cgroup's OOM-waitqueue when they request accountable memory. | ||
628 | |||
629 | For running them, you have to relax the memory cgroup's OOM status by | ||
630 | * enlarge limit or reduce usage. | ||
631 | To reduce usage, | ||
632 | * kill some tasks. | ||
633 | * move some tasks to other group with account migration. | ||
634 | * remove some files (on tmpfs?) | ||
635 | |||
636 | Then, stopped tasks will work again. | ||
637 | |||
638 | At reading, current status of OOM is shown. | ||
639 | oom_kill_disable 0 or 1 (if 1, oom-killer is disabled) | ||

9 | Linux provides a number of features that can be used to implement circular | ||
10 | buffering. There are two sets of such features: | ||
11 | |||
12 | (1) Convenience functions for determining information about power-of-2 sized | ||
13 | buffers. | ||
14 | |||
15 | (2) Memory barriers for when the producer and the consumer of objects in the | ||
16 | buffer don't want to share a lock. | ||
17 | |||
18 | To use these facilities, as discussed below, there needs to be just one | ||
19 | producer and just one consumer. It is possible to handle multiple producers by | ||
20 | serialising them, and to handle multiple consumers by serialising them. | ||

32 | |||
33 | |||
34 | ========================== | ||
35 | WHAT IS A CIRCULAR BUFFER? | ||
36 | ========================== | ||
37 | |||
38 | First of all, what is a circular buffer? A circular buffer is a buffer of | ||
39 | fixed, finite size into which there are two indices: | ||
40 | |||
41 | (1) A 'head' index - the point at which the producer inserts items into the | ||
42 | buffer. | ||
43 | |||
44 | (2) A 'tail' index - the point at which the consumer finds the next item in | ||
45 | the buffer. | ||
46 | |||
47 | Typically when the tail pointer is equal to the head pointer, the buffer is | ||
48 | empty; and the buffer is full when the head pointer is one less than the tail | ||
49 | pointer. | ||
50 | |||
51 | The head index is incremented when items are added, and the tail index when | ||
52 | items are removed. The tail index should never jump the head index, and both | ||
53 | indices should be wrapped to 0 when they reach the end of the buffer, thus | ||
54 | allowing an infinite amount of data to flow through the buffer. | ||
55 | |||
56 | Typically, items will all be of the same unit size, but this isn't strictly | ||
57 | required to use the techniques below. The indices can be increased by more | ||
58 | than 1 if multiple items or variable-sized items are to be included in the | ||
59 | buffer, provided that neither index overtakes the other. The implementer must | ||
60 | be careful, however, as a region more than one unit in size may wrap the end of | ||
61 | the buffer and be broken into two segments. | ||
62 | |||
63 | |||
64 | ============================ | ||
65 | MEASURING POWER-OF-2 BUFFERS | ||
66 | ============================ | ||
67 | |||
68 | Calculation of the occupancy or the remaining capacity of an arbitrarily sized | ||
69 | circular buffer would normally be a slow operation, requiring the use of a | ||
70 | modulus (divide) instruction. However, if the buffer is of a power-of-2 size, | ||
71 | then a much quicker bitwise-AND instruction can be used instead. | ||
72 | |||
73 | Linux provides a set of macros for handling power-of-2 circular buffers. These | ||
74 | can be made use of by: | ||
75 | |||
76 | #include <linux/circ_buf.h> | ||
77 | |||
78 | The macros are: | ||
79 | |||
80 | (*) Measure the remaining capacity of a buffer: | ||
81 | |||
82 | CIRC_SPACE(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size); | ||
83 | |||
84 | This returns the amount of space left in the buffer[1] into which items | ||
85 | can be inserted. | ||
86 | |||
87 | |||
88 | (*) Measure the maximum consecutive immediate space in a buffer: | ||
89 | |||
90 | CIRC_SPACE_TO_END(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size); | ||
91 | |||
92 | This returns the amount of consecutive space left in the buffer[1] into | ||
93 | which items can be immediately inserted without having to wrap back to the | ||
94 | beginning of the buffer. | ||
95 | |||
96 | |||
97 | (*) Measure the occupancy of a buffer: | ||
98 | |||
99 | CIRC_CNT(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size); | ||
100 | |||
101 | This returns the number of items currently occupying a buffer[2]. | ||
102 | |||
103 | |||
104 | (*) Measure the non-wrapping occupancy of a buffer: | ||
105 | |||
106 | CIRC_CNT_TO_END(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size); | ||
107 | |||
108 | This returns the number of consecutive items[2] that can be extracted from | ||
109 | the buffer without having to wrap back to the beginning of the buffer. | ||
110 | |||
111 | |||
112 | Each of these macros will nominally return a value between 0 and buffer_size-1, | ||
113 | however: | ||
114 | |||
115 | [1] CIRC_SPACE*() are intended to be used in the producer. To the producer | ||
116 | they will return a lower bound as the producer controls the head index, | ||
117 | but the consumer may still be depleting the buffer on another CPU and | ||
118 | moving the tail index. | ||
119 | |||
120 | To the consumer it will show an upper bound as the producer may be busy | ||
121 | depleting the space. | ||
122 | |||
123 | [2] CIRC_CNT*() are intended to be used in the consumer. To the consumer they | ||
124 | will return a lower bound as the consumer controls the tail index, but the | ||
125 | producer may still be filling the buffer on another CPU and moving the | ||
126 | head index. | ||
127 | |||
128 | To the producer it will show an upper bound as the consumer may be busy | ||
129 | emptying the buffer. | ||
130 | |||
131 | [3] To a third party, the order in which the writes to the indices by the | ||
132 | producer and consumer become visible cannot be guaranteed as they are | ||
133 | independent and may be made on different CPUs - so the result in such a | ||
134 | situation will merely be a guess, and may even be negative. | ||
135 | |||
136 | |||
137 | =========================================== | ||
138 | USING MEMORY BARRIERS WITH CIRCULAR BUFFERS | ||
139 | =========================================== | ||
140 | |||
141 | By using memory barriers in conjunction with circular buffers, you can avoid | ||
142 | the need to: | ||
143 | |||
144 | (1) use a single lock to govern access to both ends of the buffer, thus | ||
145 | allowing the buffer to be filled and emptied at the same time; and | ||
146 | |||
147 | (2) use atomic counter operations. | ||
148 | |||
149 | There are two sides to this: the producer that fills the buffer, and the | ||
150 | consumer that empties it. Only one thing should be filling a buffer at any one | ||
151 | time, and only one thing should be emptying a buffer at any one time, but the | ||
152 | two sides can operate simultaneously. | ||
153 | |||
154 | |||
155 | THE PRODUCER | ||
156 | ------------ | ||
157 | |||
158 | The producer will look something like this: | ||
159 | |||
160 | spin_lock(&producer_lock); | ||
161 | |||
162 | unsigned long head = buffer->head; | ||
163 | unsigned long tail = ACCESS_ONCE(buffer->tail); | ||
164 | |||
165 | if (CIRC_SPACE(head, tail, buffer->size) >= 1) { | ||
166 | /* insert one item into the buffer */ | ||
167 | struct item *item = buffer[head]; | ||
168 | |||
169 | produce_item(item); | ||
170 | |||
171 | smp_wmb(); /* commit the item before incrementing the head */ | ||
172 | |||
173 | buffer->head = (head + 1) & (buffer->size - 1); | ||
174 | |||
175 | /* wake_up() will make sure that the head is committed before | ||
176 | * waking anyone up */ | ||
177 | wake_up(consumer); | ||
178 | } | ||
179 | |||
180 | spin_unlock(&producer_lock); | ||
181 | |||
182 | This will instruct the CPU that the contents of the new item must be written | ||
183 | before the head index makes it available to the consumer and then instructs the | ||
184 | CPU that the revised head index must be written before the consumer is woken. | ||
185 | |||
186 | Note that wake_up() doesn't have to be the exact mechanism used, but whatever | ||
187 | is used must guarantee a (write) memory barrier between the update of the head | ||
188 | index and the change of state of the consumer, if a change of state occurs. | ||
189 | |||
190 | |||
191 | THE CONSUMER | ||
192 | ------------ | ||
193 | |||
194 | The consumer will look something like this: | ||
195 | |||
196 | spin_lock(&consumer_lock); | ||
197 | |||
198 | unsigned long head = ACCESS_ONCE(buffer->head); | ||
199 | unsigned long tail = buffer->tail; | ||
200 | |||
201 | if (CIRC_CNT(head, tail, buffer->size) >= 1) { | ||
202 | /* read index before reading contents at that index */ | ||
203 | smp_read_barrier_depends(); | ||
204 | |||
205 | /* extract one item from the buffer */ | ||
206 | struct item *item = buffer[tail]; | ||
207 | |||
208 | consume_item(item); | ||
209 | |||
210 | smp_mb(); /* finish reading descriptor before incrementing tail */ | ||
211 | |||
212 | buffer->tail = (tail + 1) & (buffer->size - 1); | ||
213 | } | ||
214 | |||
215 | spin_unlock(&consumer_lock); | ||
216 | |||
217 | This will instruct the CPU to make sure the index is up to date before reading | ||
218 | the new item, and then it shall make sure the CPU has finished reading the item | ||
219 | before it writes the new tail pointer, which will erase the item. | ||
220 | |||
221 | |||
222 | Note the use of ACCESS_ONCE() in both algorithms to read the opposition index. | ||
223 | This prevents the compiler from discarding and reloading its cached value - | ||
224 | which some compilers will do across smp_read_barrier_depends(). This isn't | ||
225 | strictly needed if you can be sure that the opposition index will _only_ be | ||
226 | used the once. | ||

43 | |||
44 | 1. Introduction: | ||
45 | ---------------- | ||
46 | Processor Clocking Control (PCC) is an interface between the platform | ||
47 | firmware and OSPM. It is a mechanism for coordinating processor | ||
48 | performance (ie: frequency) between the platform firmware and the OS. | ||
49 | |||
50 | The PCC driver (pcc-cpufreq) allows OSPM to take advantage of the PCC | ||
51 | interface. | ||
52 | |||
53 | OS utilizes the PCC interface to inform platform firmware what frequency the | ||
54 | OS wants for a logical processor. The platform firmware attempts to achieve | ||
55 | the requested frequency. If the request for the target frequency could not be | ||
56 | satisfied by platform firmware, then it usually means that power budget | ||
57 | conditions are in place, and "power capping" is taking place. | ||
58 | |||
59 | 1.1 PCC interface: | ||
60 | ------------------ | ||
61 | The complete PCC specification is available here: | ||
62 | http://www.acpica.org/download/Processor-Clocking-Control-v1p0.pdf | ||
63 | |||
64 | PCC relies on a shared memory region that provides a channel for communication | ||
65 | between the OS and platform firmware. PCC also implements a "doorbell" that | ||
66 | is used by the OS to inform the platform firmware that a command has been | ||
67 | sent. | ||
68 | |||
69 | The ACPI PCCH() method is used to discover the location of the PCC shared | ||
70 | memory region. The shared memory region header contains the "command" and | ||
71 | "status" interface. PCCH() also contains details on how to access the platform | ||
72 | doorbell. | ||
73 | |||
74 | The following commands are supported by the PCC interface: | ||
75 | * Get Average Frequency | ||
76 | * Set Desired Frequency | ||
77 | |||
78 | The ACPI PCCP() method is implemented for each logical processor and is | ||
79 | used to discover the offsets for the input and output buffers in the shared | ||
80 | memory region. | ||
81 | |||
82 | When PCC mode is enabled, the platform will not expose processor performance | ||
83 | or throttle states (_PSS, _TSS and related ACPI objects) to OSPM. Therefore, | ||
84 | the native P-state driver (such as acpi-cpufreq for Intel, powernow-k8 for | ||
85 | AMD) will not load. | ||
86 | |||
87 | However, OSPM remains in control of policy. The governor (eg: "ondemand") | ||
88 | computes the required performance for each processor based on server workload. | ||
89 | The PCC driver fills in the command interface, and the input buffer and | ||
90 | communicates the request to the platform firmware. The platform firmware is | ||
91 | responsible for delivering the requested performance. | ||
92 | |||
93 | Each PCC command is "global" in scope and can affect all the logical CPUs in | ||
94 | the system. Therefore, PCC is capable of performing "group" updates. With PCC | ||
95 | the OS is capable of getting/setting the frequency of all the logical CPUs in | ||
96 | the system with a single call to the BIOS. | ||
97 | |||
98 | 1.1.1 Get Average Frequency: | ||
99 | ---------------------------- | ||
100 | This command is used by the OSPM to query the running frequency of the | ||
101 | processor since the last time this command was completed. The output buffer | ||
102 | indicates the average unhalted frequency of the logical processor expressed as | ||
103 | a percentage of the nominal (ie: maximum) CPU frequency. The output buffer | ||
104 | also signifies if the CPU frequency is limited by a power budget condition. | ||
105 | |||
106 | 1.1.2 Set Desired Frequency: | ||
107 | ---------------------------- | ||
108 | This command is used by the OSPM to communicate to the platform firmware the | ||
109 | desired frequency for a logical processor. The output buffer is currently | ||
110 | ignored by OSPM. The next invocation of "Get Average Frequency" will inform | ||
111 | OSPM if the desired frequency was achieved or not. | ||
112 | |||
113 | 1.2 Platforms affected: | ||
114 | ----------------------- | ||
115 | The PCC driver will load on any system where the platform firmware: | ||
116 | * supports the PCC interface, and the associated PCCH() and PCCP() methods | ||
117 | * assumes responsibility for managing the hardware clocking controls in order | ||
118 | to deliver the requested processor performance | ||
119 | |||
120 | Currently, certain HP ProLiant platforms implement the PCC interface. On those | ||
121 | platforms PCC is the "default" choice. | ||
122 | |||
123 | However, it is possible to disable this interface via a BIOS setting. In | ||
124 | such an instance, as is also the case on platforms where the PCC interface | ||
125 | is not implemented, the PCC driver will fail to load silently. | ||
126 | |||
127 | 2. Driver and /sys details: | ||
128 | --------------------------- | ||
129 | When the driver loads, it merely prints the lowest and the highest CPU | ||
130 | frequencies supported by the platform firmware. | ||
131 | |||
132 | The PCC driver loads with a message such as: | ||
133 | pcc-cpufreq: (v1.00.00) driver loaded with frequency limits: 1600 MHz, 2933 | ||
134 | MHz | ||
135 | |||
136 | This means that the OPSM can request the CPU to run at any frequency in | ||
137 | between the limits (1600 MHz, and 2933 MHz) specified in the message. | ||
138 | |||
139 | Internally, there is no need for the driver to convert the "target" frequency | ||
140 | to a corresponding P-state. | ||
141 | |||
142 | The VERSION number for the driver will be of the format v.xy.ab. | ||
143 | eg: 1.00.02 | ||
144 | ----- -- | ||
145 | | | | ||
146 | | -- this will increase with bug fixes/enhancements to the driver | ||
147 | |-- this is the version of the PCC specification the driver adheres to | ||
148 | |||
149 | |||
150 | The following is a brief discussion on some of the fields exported via the | ||
151 | /sys filesystem and how their values are affected by the PCC driver: | ||
152 | |||
153 | 2.1 scaling_available_frequencies: | ||
154 | ---------------------------------- | ||
155 | scaling_available_frequencies is not created in /sys. No intermediate | ||
156 | frequencies need to be listed because the BIOS will try to achieve any | ||
157 | frequency, within limits, requested by the governor. A frequency does not have | ||
158 | to be strictly associated with a P-state. | ||
159 | |||
160 | 2.2 cpuinfo_transition_latency: | ||
161 | ------------------------------- | ||
162 | The cpuinfo_transition_latency field is 0. The PCC specification does | ||
163 | not include a field to expose this value currently. | ||
164 | |||
165 | 2.3 cpuinfo_cur_freq: | ||
166 | --------------------- | ||
167 | A) Often cpuinfo_cur_freq will show a value different than what is declared | ||
168 | in the scaling_available_frequencies or scaling_cur_freq, or scaling_max_freq. | ||
169 | This is due to "turbo boost" available on recent Intel processors. If certain | ||
170 | conditions are met the BIOS can achieve a slightly higher speed than requested | ||
171 | by OSPM. An example: | ||
172 | |||
173 | scaling_cur_freq : 2933000 | ||
174 | cpuinfo_cur_freq : 3196000 | ||
175 | |||
176 | B) There is a round-off error associated with the cpuinfo_cur_freq value. | ||
177 | Since the driver obtains the current frequency as a "percentage" (%) of the | ||
178 | nominal frequency from the BIOS, sometimes, the values displayed by | ||
179 | scaling_cur_freq and cpuinfo_cur_freq may not match. An example: | ||
180 | |||
181 | scaling_cur_freq : 1600000 | ||
182 | cpuinfo_cur_freq : 1583000 | ||
183 | |||
184 | In this example, the nominal frequency is 2933 MHz. The driver obtains the | ||
185 | current frequency, cpuinfo_cur_freq, as 54% of the nominal frequency: | ||
186 | |||
187 | 54% of 2933 MHz = 1583 MHz | ||
188 | |||
189 | Nominal frequency is the maximum frequency of the processor, and it usually | ||
190 | corresponds to the frequency of the P0 P-state. | ||
191 | |||
192 | 2.4 related_cpus: | ||
193 | ----------------- | ||
194 | The related_cpus field is identical to affected_cpus. | ||
195 | |||
196 | affected_cpus : 4 | ||
197 | related_cpus : 4 | ||
198 | |||
199 | Currently, the PCC driver does not evaluate _PSD. The platforms that support | ||
200 | PCC do not implement SW_ALL. So OSPM doesn't need to perform any coordination | ||
201 | to ensure that the same frequency is requested of all dependent CPUs. | ||
202 | |||
203 | 3. Caveats: | ||
204 | ----------- | ||
205 | The "cpufreq_stats" module in its present form cannot be loaded and | ||
206 | expected to work with the PCC driver. Since the "cpufreq_stats" module | ||
207 | provides information wrt each P-state, it is not applicable to the PCC driver. | ||

127 | How to determine when a merging is complete | ||
128 | =========================================== | ||
129 | The snapshot-merge and snapshot status lines end with: | ||
130 | <sectors_allocated>/<total_sectors> <metadata_sectors> | ||
131 | |||
132 | Both <sectors_allocated> and <total_sectors> include both data and metadata. | ||
133 | During merging, the number of sectors allocated gets smaller and | ||
134 | smaller. Merging has finished when the number of sectors holding data | ||
135 | is zero, in other words <sectors_allocated> == <metadata_sectors>. | ||
136 | |||
137 | Here is a practical example (using a hybrid of lvm and dmsetup commands): | ||
138 | |||
139 | # lvs | ||
140 | LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert | ||
141 | base volumeGroup owi-a- 4.00g | ||
142 | snap volumeGroup swi-a- 1.00g base 18.97 | ||
143 | |||
144 | # dmsetup status volumeGroup-snap | ||
145 | 0 8388608 snapshot 397896/2097152 1560 | ||
146 | ^^^^ metadata sectors | ||
147 | |||
148 | # lvconvert --merge -b volumeGroup/snap | ||
149 | Merging of volume snap started. | ||
150 | |||
151 | # lvs volumeGroup/snap | ||
152 | LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert | ||

722 | ======================================================================= | ||
723 | NEHALEM USAGE OF EDAC APIs | ||
724 | |||
725 | This chapter documents some EXPERIMENTAL mappings for EDAC API to handle | ||
726 | Nehalem EDAC driver. They will likely be changed on future versions | ||
727 | of the driver. | ||
728 | |||
729 | Due to the way Nehalem exports Memory Controller data, some adjustments | ||
730 | were done at i7core_edac driver. This chapter will cover those differences | ||
731 | |||
732 | 1) On Nehalem, there are one Memory Controller per Quick Patch Interconnect | ||
733 | (QPI). At the driver, the term "socket" means one QPI. This is | ||
734 | associated with a physical CPU socket. | ||
735 | |||
736 | Each MC have 3 physical read channels, 3 physical write channels and | ||
737 | 3 logic channels. The driver currenty sees it as just 3 channels. | ||
738 | Each channel can have up to 3 DIMMs. | ||
739 | |||
740 | The minimum known unity is DIMMs. There are no information about csrows. | ||
741 | As EDAC API maps the minimum unity is csrows, the driver sequencially | ||
742 | maps channel/dimm into different csrows. | ||
743 | |||
744 | For example, suposing the following layout: | ||
745 | Ch0 phy rd0, wr0 (0x063f4031): 2 ranks, UDIMMs | ||
746 | dimm 0 1024 Mb offset: 0, bank: 8, rank: 1, row: 0x4000, col: 0x400 | ||
747 | dimm 1 1024 Mb offset: 4, bank: 8, rank: 1, row: 0x4000, col: 0x400 | ||
748 | Ch1 phy rd1, wr1 (0x063f4031): 2 ranks, UDIMMs | ||
749 | dimm 0 1024 Mb offset: 0, bank: 8, rank: 1, row: 0x4000, col: 0x400 | ||
750 | Ch2 phy rd3, wr3 (0x063f4031): 2 ranks, UDIMMs | ||
751 | dimm 0 1024 Mb offset: 0, bank: 8, rank: 1, row: 0x4000, col: 0x400 | ||
752 | The driver will map it as: | ||
753 | csrow0: channel 0, dimm0 | ||
754 | csrow1: channel 0, dimm1 | ||
755 | csrow2: channel 1, dimm0 | ||
756 | csrow3: channel 2, dimm0 | ||
757 | |||
758 | exports one | ||
759 | DIMM per csrow. | ||
760 | |||
761 | Each QPI is exported as a different memory controller. | ||
762 | |||
763 | 2) Nehalem MC has the hability to generate errors. The driver implements this | ||
764 | functionality via some error injection nodes: | ||
765 | |||
766 | For injecting a memory error, there are some sysfs nodes, under | ||
767 | /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc?/: | ||
768 | |||
769 | inject_addrmatch/*: | ||
770 | Controls the error injection mask register. It is possible to specify | ||
771 | several characteristics of the address to match an error code: | ||
772 | dimm = the affected dimm. Numbers are relative to a channel; | ||
773 | rank = the memory rank; | ||
774 | channel = the channel that will generate an error; | ||
775 | bank = the affected bank; | ||
776 | page = the page address; | ||
777 | column (or col) = the address column. | ||
778 | each of the above values can be set to "any" to match any valid value. | ||
779 | |||
780 | At driver init, all values are set to any. | ||
781 | |||
782 | For example, to generate an error at rank 1 of dimm 2, for any channel, | ||
783 | any bank, any page, any column: | ||
784 | echo 2 >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_addrmatch/dimm | ||
785 | echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_addrmatch/rank | ||
786 | |||
787 | To return to the default behaviour of matching any, you can do: | ||
788 | echo any >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_addrmatch/dimm | ||
789 | echo any >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_addrmatch/rank | ||
790 | |||
791 | inject_eccmask: | ||
792 | specifies what bits will have troubles, | ||
793 | |||
794 | inject_section: | ||
795 | specifies what ECC cache section will get the error: | ||
796 | 3 for both | ||
797 | 2 for the highest | ||
798 | 1 for the lowest | ||
799 | |||
800 | inject_type: | ||
801 | specifies the type of error, being a combination of the following bits: | ||
802 | bit 0 - repeat | ||
803 | bit 1 - ecc | ||
804 | bit 2 - parity | ||
805 | |||
806 | inject_enable starts the error generation when something different | ||
807 | than 0 is written. | ||
808 | |||
809 | All inject vars can be read. root permission is needed for write. | ||
810 | |||
811 | Datasheet states that the error will only be generated after a write on an | ||
812 | address that matches inject_addrmatch. It seems, however, that reading will | ||
813 | also produce an error. | ||
814 | |||
815 | For example, the following code will generate an error for any write access | ||
816 | at socket 0, on any DIMM/address on channel 2: | ||

825 | For socket 1, it is needed to replace "mc0" by "mc1" at the above | ||
826 | commands. | ||
827 | |||
828 | The generated error message will look like: | ||
829 | |||
830 | EDAC MC0: UE row 0, channel-a= 0 channel-b= 0 labels "-": NON_FATAL (addr = 0x0075b980, socket=0, Dimm=0, Channel=2, syndrome=0x00000040, count=1, Err=8c0000400001009f:4000080482 (read error: read ECC error)) | ||
831 | |||
832 | 3) Nehalem specific Corrected Error memory counters | ||
833 | |||
834 | Nehalem have some registers to count memory errors. The driver uses those | ||
835 | registers to report Corrected Errors on devices with Registered Dimms. | ||
836 | |||
837 | However, those counters don't work with Unregistered Dimms. As the chipset | ||
838 | offers some counters that also work with UDIMMS (but with a worse level of | ||
839 | granularity than the default ones), the driver exposes those registers for | ||
840 | UDIMM memories. | ||
841 | |||
842 | They can be read by looking at the contents of all_channel_counts/ | ||
843 | |||
844 | $ for i in /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/all_channel_counts/*; do echo $i; cat $i; done | ||
845 | /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/all_channel_counts/udimm0 | ||
846 | 0 | ||
847 | /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/all_channel_counts/udimm1 | ||
848 | 0 | ||
849 | /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/all_channel_counts/udimm2 | ||
850 | 0 | ||
851 | |||
852 | What happens here is that errors on different csrows, but at the same | ||
853 | dimm number will increment the same counter. | ||
854 | So, in this memory mapping: | ||
855 | csrow0: channel 0, dimm0 | ||
856 | csrow1: channel 0, dimm1 | ||
857 | csrow2: channel 1, dimm0 | ||
858 | csrow3: channel 2, dimm0 | ||
859 | The hardware will increment udimm0 for an error at the first dimm at either | ||
860 | csrow0, csrow2 or csrow3; | ||
861 | The hardware will increment udimm1 for an error at the second dimm at either | ||
862 | csrow0, csrow2 or csrow3; | ||
863 | The hardware will increment udimm2 for an error at the third dimm at either | ||
864 | csrow0, csrow2 or csrow3; | ||
865 | |||
866 | 4) Standard error counters | ||
867 | |||
868 | The standard error counters are generated when an mcelog error is received | ||
869 | by the driver. Since, with udimm, this is counted by software, it is | ||
870 | possible that some errors could be lost. With rdimm's, they displays the | ||
871 | contents of the registers | ||

1 | The lkdtm module provides an interface to crash or injure the kernel at | ||
2 | predefined crashpoints to evaluate the reliability of crash dumps obtained | ||
3 | using different dumping solutions. The module uses KPROBEs to instrument | ||
4 | crashing points, but can also crash the kernel directly without KRPOBE | ||
5 | support. | ||
6 | |||
7 | |||
8 | You can provide the way either through module arguments when inserting | ||

10 | |||
11 | Usage: insmod lkdtm.ko [recur_count={>0}] cpoint_name=<> cpoint_type=<> | ||
12 | [cpoint_count={>0}] | ||
13 | |||
14 | recur_count : Recursion level for the stack overflow test. Default is 10. | ||

16 | cpoint_name : Crash point where the kernel is to be crashed. It can be | ||
17 | one of INT_HARDWARE_ENTRY, INT_HW_IRQ_EN, INT_TASKLET_ENTRY, | ||
18 | FS_DEVRW, MEM_SWAPOUT, TIMERADD, SCSI_DISPATCH_CMD, | ||
19 | IDE_CORE_CP, DIRECT | ||

25 | |||
26 | cpoint_count : Indicates the number of times the crash point is to be hit | ||
27 | to trigger an action. The default is 10. | ||
28 | |||
29 | You can also induce failures by mounting debugfs and writing the type to | ||
30 | <mountpoint>/provoke-crash/<crashpoint>. E.g., | ||

154 | What: /proc/<pid>/oom_adj | ||
155 | When: August 2012 | ||
156 | Why: /proc/<pid>/oom_adj allows userspace to influence the oom killer's | ||
157 | badness heuristic used to determine which task to kill when the kernel | ||
158 | is out of memory. | ||
159 | |||
160 | The badness heuristic has since been rewritten since the introduction of | ||
161 | this tunable such that its meaning is deprecated. The value was | ||
162 | implemented as a bitshift on a score generated by the badness() | ||
163 | function that did not have any precise units of measure. With the | ||
164 | rewrite, the score is given as a proportion of available memory to the | ||
165 | task allocating pages, so using a bitshift which grows the score | ||
166 | exponentially is, thus, impossible to tune with fine granularity. | ||
167 | |||
168 | A much more powerful interface, /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj, was | ||
169 | introduced with the oom killer rewrite that allows users to increase or | ||
170 | decrease the badness() score linearly. This interface will replace | ||
171 | /proc/<pid>/oom_adj. | ||
172 | |||
173 | A warning will be emitted to the kernel log if an application uses this | ||

1 | Ceph Distributed File System | ||
2 | ============================ | ||
3 | |||
4 | Ceph is a distributed network file system designed to provide good | ||
5 | performance, reliability, and scalability. | ||
6 | |||
7 | Basic features include: | ||
8 | |||
9 | * POSIX semantics | ||
10 | * Seamless scaling from 1 to many thousands of nodes | ||
11 | * High availability and reliability. No single point of failure. | ||
12 | * N-way replication of data across storage nodes | ||
13 | * Fast recovery from node failures | ||
14 | * Automatic rebalancing of data on node addition/removal | ||
15 | * Easy deployment: most FS components are userspace daemons | ||
16 | |||
17 | Also, | ||
18 | * Flexible snapshots (on any directory) | ||
19 | * Recursive accounting (nested files, directories, bytes) | ||
20 | |||
21 | In contrast to cluster filesystems like GFS, OCFS2, and GPFS that rely | ||
22 | on symmetric access by all clients to shared block devices, Ceph | ||
23 | separates data and metadata management into independent server | ||
24 | clusters, similar to Lustre. Unlike Lustre, however, metadata and | ||
25 | storage nodes run entirely as user space daemons. Storage nodes | ||
26 | utilize btrfs to store data objects, leveraging its advanced features | ||
27 | (checksumming, metadata replication, etc.). File data is striped | ||
28 | across storage nodes in large chunks to distribute workload and | ||
29 | facilitate high throughputs. When storage nodes fail, data is | ||
30 | re-replicated in a distributed fashion by the storage nodes themselves | ||
31 | (with some minimal coordination from a cluster monitor), making the | ||
32 | system extremely efficient and scalable. | ||
33 | |||
34 | Metadata servers effectively form a large, consistent, distributed | ||
35 | in-memory cache above the file namespace that is extremely scalable, | ||
36 | dynamically redistributes metadata in response to workload changes, | ||
37 | and can tolerate arbitrary (well, non-Byzantine) node failures. The | ||
38 | metadata server takes a somewhat unconventional approach to metadata | ||
39 | storage to significantly improve performance for common workloads. In | ||
40 | particular, inodes with only a single link are embedded in | ||
41 | directories, allowing entire directories of dentries and inodes to be | ||
42 | loaded into its cache with a single I/O operation. The contents of | ||
43 | extremely large directories can be fragmented and managed by | ||
44 | independent metadata servers, allowing scalable concurrent access. | ||
45 | |||
46 | The system offers automatic data rebalancing/migration when scaling | ||
47 | from a small cluster of just a few nodes to many hundreds, without | ||
48 | requiring an administrator carve the data set into static volumes or | ||
49 | go through the tedious process of migrating data between servers. | ||
50 | When the file system approaches full, new nodes can be easily added | ||
51 | and things will "just work." | ||
52 | |||
53 | Ceph includes flexible snapshot mechanism that allows a user to create | ||
54 | a snapshot on any subdirectory (and its nested contents) in the | ||
55 | system. Snapshot creation and deletion are as simple as 'mkdir | ||
56 | .snap/foo' and 'rmdir .snap/foo'. | ||
57 | |||
58 | Ceph also provides some recursive accounting on directories for nested | ||
59 | files and bytes. That is, a 'getfattr -d foo' on any directory in the | ||
60 | system will reveal the total number of nested regular files and | ||
61 | subdirectories, and a summation of all nested file sizes. This makes | ||
62 | the identification of large disk space consumers relatively quick, as | ||
63 | no 'du' or similar recursive scan of the file system is required. | ||
64 | |||
65 | |||
66 | Mount Syntax | ||
67 | ============ | ||
68 | |||
69 | The basic mount syntax is: | ||
70 | |||
71 | # mount -t ceph monip[:port][,monip2[:port]...]:/[subdir] mnt | ||
72 | |||
73 | You only need to specify a single monitor, as the client will get the | ||
74 | full list when it connects. (However, if the monitor you specify | ||
75 | happens to be down, the mount won't succeed.) The port can be left | ||
76 | off if the monitor is using the default. So if the monitor is at | ||
77 | 1.2.3.4, | ||
78 | |||
79 | # mount -t ceph 1.2.3.4:/ /mnt/ceph | ||
80 | |||
81 | is sufficient. If /sbin/mount.ceph is installed, a hostname can be | ||
82 | used instead of an IP address. | ||
83 | |||
84 | |||
85 | |||
86 | Mount Options | ||
87 | ============= | ||
88 | |||
89 | ip=A.B.C.D[:N] | ||
90 | Specify the IP and/or port the client should bind to locally. | ||
91 | There is normally not much reason to do this. If the IP is not | ||
92 | specified, the client's IP address is determined by looking at the | ||
93 | address its connection to the monitor originates from. | ||
94 | |||
95 | wsize=X | ||
96 | Specify the maximum write size in bytes. By default there is no | ||
97 | maximum. Ceph will normally size writes based on the file stripe | ||
98 | size. | ||
99 | |||
100 | rsize=X | ||
101 | Specify the maximum readahead. | ||
102 | |||
103 | mount_timeout=X | ||
104 | Specify the timeout value for mount (in seconds), in the case | ||
105 | of a non-responsive Ceph file system. The default is 30 | ||
106 | seconds. | ||
107 | |||
108 | rbytes | ||
109 | When stat() is called on a directory, set st_size to 'rbytes', | ||
110 | the summation of file sizes over all files nested beneath that | ||
111 | directory. This is the default. | ||
112 | |||
113 | norbytes | ||
114 | When stat() is called on a directory, set st_size to the | ||
115 | number of entries in that directory. | ||
116 | |||
117 | nocrc | ||
118 | Disable CRC32C calculation for data writes. If set, the storage node | ||
119 | must rely on TCP's error correction to detect data corruption | ||
120 | in the data payload. | ||
121 | |||
122 | noasyncreaddir | ||
123 | Disable client's use its local cache to satisfy readdir | ||
124 | requests. (This does not change correctness; the client uses | ||
125 | cached metadata only when a lease or capability ensures it is | ||
126 | valid.) | ||
127 | |||

2 | The LogFS Flash Filesystem | ||
3 | ========================== | ||
4 | |||
5 | Specification | ||
6 | ============= | ||
7 | |||
8 | Superblocks | ||
9 | ----------- | ||
10 | |||
11 | Two superblocks exist at the beginning and end of the filesystem. | ||
12 | Each superblock is 256 Bytes large, with another 3840 Bytes reserved | ||
13 | for future purposes, making a total of 4096 Bytes. | ||
14 | |||
15 | Superblock locations may differ for MTD and block devices. On MTD the | ||
16 | first non-bad block contains a superblock in the first 4096 Bytes and | ||
17 | the last non-bad block contains a superblock in the last 4096 Bytes. | ||
18 | On block devices, the first 4096 Bytes of the device contain the first | ||
19 | superblock and the last aligned 4096 Byte-block contains the second | ||
20 | superblock. | ||
21 | |||
22 | For the most part, the superblocks can be considered read-only. They | ||
23 | are written only to correct errors detected within the superblocks, | ||
24 | move the journal and change the filesystem parameters through tunefs. | ||
25 | As a result, the superblock does not contain any fields that require | ||
26 | constant updates, like the amount of free space, etc. | ||
27 | |||
28 | Segments | ||
29 | -------- | ||
30 | |||
31 | The space in the device is split up into equal-sized segments. | ||
32 | Segments are the primary write unit of LogFS. Within each segments, | ||
33 | writes happen from front (low addresses) to back (high addresses. If | ||
34 | only a partial segment has been written, the segment number, the | ||
35 | current position within and optionally a write buffer are stored in | ||
36 | the journal. | ||
37 | |||
38 | Segments are erased as a whole. Therefore Garbage Collection may be | ||
39 | required to completely free a segment before doing so. | ||
40 | |||
41 | Journal | ||
42 | -------- | ||
43 | |||
44 | The journal contains all global information about the filesystem that | ||
45 | is subject to frequent change. At mount time, it has to be scanned | ||
46 | for the most recent commit entry, which contains a list of pointers to | ||
47 | all currently valid entries. | ||
48 | |||
49 | Object Store | ||
50 | ------------ | ||
51 | |||
52 | All space except for the superblocks and journal is part of the object | ||
53 | store. Each segment contains a segment header and a number of | ||
54 | objects, each consisting of the object header and the payload. | ||
55 | Objects are either inodes, directory entries (dentries), file data | ||
56 | blocks or indirect blocks. | ||
57 | |||
58 | Levels | ||
59 | ------ | ||
60 | |||
61 | Garbage collection (GC) may fail if all data is written | ||
62 | indiscriminately. One requirement of GC is that data is separated | ||
63 | roughly according to the distance between the tree root and the data. | ||
64 | Effectively that means all file data is on level 0, indirect blocks | ||
65 | are on levels 1, 2, 3 4 or 5 for 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x indirect blocks, | ||
66 | respectively. Inode file data is on level 6 for the inodes and 7-11 | ||
67 | for indirect blocks. | ||
68 | |||
69 | Each segment contains objects of a single level only. As a result, | ||
70 | each level requires its own separate segment to be open for writing. | ||
71 | |||
72 | Inode File | ||
73 | ---------- | ||
74 | |||
75 | All inodes are stored in a special file, the inode file. Single | ||
76 | exception is the inode file's inode (master inode) which for obvious | ||
77 | reasons is stored in the journal instead. Instead of data blocks, the | ||
78 | leaf nodes of the inode files are inodes. | ||
79 | |||
80 | Aliases | ||
81 | ------- | ||
82 | |||
83 | Writes in LogFS are done by means of a wandering tree. A naïve | ||
84 | implementation would require that for each write or a block, all | ||
85 | parent blocks are written as well, since the block pointers have | ||
86 | changed. Such an implementation would not be very efficient. | ||
87 | |||
88 | In LogFS, the block pointer changes are cached in the journal by means | ||
89 | of alias entries. Each alias consists of its logical address - inode | ||
90 | number, block index, level and child number (index into block) - and | ||
91 | the changed data. Any 8-byte word can be changes in this manner. | ||
92 | |||
93 | Currently aliases are used for block pointers, file size, file used | ||
94 | bytes and the height of an inodes indirect tree. | ||
95 | |||
96 | Segment Aliases | ||
97 | --------------- | ||
98 | |||
99 | Related to regular aliases, these are used to handle bad blocks. | ||
100 | Initially, bad blocks are handled by moving the affected segment | ||
101 | content to a spare segment and noting this move in the journal with a | ||
102 | segment alias, a simple (to, from) tupel. GC will later empty this | ||
103 | segment and the alias can be removed again. This is used on MTD only. | ||
104 | |||
105 | Vim | ||
106 | --- | ||
107 | |||
108 | By cleverly predicting the life time of data, it is possible to | ||
109 | separate long-living data from short-living data and thereby reduce | ||
110 | the GC overhead later. Each type of distinc life expectency (vim) can | ||
111 | have a separate segment open for writing. Each (level, vim) tupel can | ||
112 | be open just once. If an open segment with unknown vim is encountered | ||
113 | at mount time, it is closed and ignored henceforth. | ||
114 | |||
115 | Indirect Tree | ||
116 | ------------- | ||
117 | |||
118 | Inodes in LogFS are similar to FFS-style filesystems with direct and | ||
119 | indirect block pointers. One difference is that LogFS uses a single | ||
120 | indirect pointer that can be either a 1x, 2x, etc. indirect pointer. | ||
121 | A height field in the inode defines the height of the indirect tree | ||
122 | and thereby the indirection of the pointer. | ||
123 | |||
124 | Another difference is the addressing of indirect blocks. In LogFS, | ||
125 | the first 16 pointers in the first indirect block are left empty, | ||
126 | corresponding to the 16 direct pointers in the inode. In ext2 (maybe | ||
127 | others as well) the first pointer in the first indirect block | ||
128 | corresponds to logical block 12, skipping the 12 direct pointers. | ||
129 | So where ext2 is using arithmetic to better utilize space, LogFS keeps | ||
130 | arithmetic simple and uses compression to save space. | ||
131 | |||
132 | Compression | ||
133 | ----------- | ||
134 | |||
135 | Both file data and metadata can be compressed. Compression for file | ||
136 | data can be enabled with chattr +c and disabled with chattr -c. Doing | ||
137 | so has no effect on existing data, but new data will be stored | ||
138 | accordingly. New inodes will inherit the compression flag of the | ||
139 | parent directory. | ||
140 | |||
141 | Metadata is always compressed. However, the space accounting ignores | ||
142 | this and charges for the uncompressed size. Failing to do so could | ||
143 | result in GC failures when, after moving some data, indirect blocks | ||
144 | compress worse than previously. Even on a 100% full medium, GC may | ||
145 | not consume any extra space, so the compression gains are lost space | ||
146 | to the user. | ||
147 | |||
148 | However, they are not lost space to the filesystem internals. By | ||
149 | cheating the user for those bytes, the filesystem gained some slack | ||
150 | space and GC will run less often and faster. | ||
151 | |||
152 | Garbage Collection and Wear Leveling | ||
153 | ------------------------------------ | ||
154 | |||
155 | Garbage collection is invoked whenever the number of free segments | ||
156 | falls below a threshold. The best (known) candidate is picked based | ||
157 | on the least amount of valid data contained in the segment. All | ||
158 | remaining valid data is copied elsewhere, thereby invalidating it. | ||
159 | |||
160 | The GC code also checks for aliases and writes then back if their | ||
161 | number gets too large. | ||
162 | |||
163 | Wear leveling is done by occasionally picking a suboptimal segment for | ||
164 | garbage collection. If a stale segments erase count is significantly | ||
165 | lower than the active segments' erase counts, it will be picked. Wear | ||
166 | leveling is rate limited, so it will never monopolize the device for | ||
167 | more than one segment worth at a time. | ||
168 | |||
169 | Values for "occasionally", "significantly lower" are compile time | ||
170 | constants. | ||
171 | |||
172 | Hashed directories | ||
173 | ------------------ | ||
174 | |||
175 | To satisfy efficient lookup(), directory entries are hashed and | ||
176 | located based on the hash. In order to both support large directories | ||
177 | and not be overly inefficient for small directories, several hash | ||
178 | tables of increasing size are used. For each table, the hash value | ||
179 | modulo the table size gives the table index. | ||
180 | |||
181 | Tables sizes are chosen to limit the number of indirect blocks with a | ||
182 | fully populated table to 0, 1, 2 or 3 respectively. So the first | ||
183 | table contains 16 entries, the second 512-16, etc. | ||
184 | |||
185 | The last table is special in several ways. First its size depends on | ||
186 | the effective 32bit limit on telldir/seekdir cookies. Since logfs | ||
187 | uses the upper half of the address space for indirect blocks, the size | ||
188 | is limited to 2^31. Secondly the table contains hash buckets with 16 | ||
189 | entries each. | ||
190 | |||
191 | Using single-entry buckets would result in birthday "attacks". At | ||
192 | just 2^16 used entries, hash collisions would be likely (P >= 0.5). | ||
193 | My math skills are insufficient to do the combinatorics for the 17x | ||
194 | collisions necessary to overflow a bucket, but testing showed that in | ||
195 | 10,000 runs the lowest directory fill before a bucket overflow was | ||
196 | 188,057,130 entries with an average of 315,149,915 entries. So for | ||
197 | directory sizes of up to a million, bucket overflows should be | ||
198 | virtually impossible under normal circumstances. | ||
199 | |||
200 | With carefully chosen filenames, it is obviously possible to cause an | ||
201 | overflow with just 21 entries (4 higher tables + 16 entries + 1). So | ||
202 | there may be a security concern if a malicious user has write access | ||
203 | to a directory. | ||
204 | |||
205 | Open For Discussion | ||
206 | =================== | ||
207 | |||
208 | Device Address Space | ||
209 | -------------------- | ||
210 | |||
211 | A device address space is used for caching. Both block devices and | ||
212 | MTD provide functions to either read a single page or write a segment. | ||
213 | Partial segments may be written for data integrity, but where possible | ||
214 | complete segments are written for performance on simple block device | ||
215 | flash media. | ||
216 | |||
217 | Meta Inodes | ||
218 | ----------- | ||
219 | |||
220 | Inodes are stored in the inode file, which is just a regular file for | ||
221 | most purposes. At umount time, however, the inode file needs to | ||
222 | remain open until all dirty inodes are written. So | ||
223 | generic_shutdown_super() may not close this inode, but shouldn't | ||
224 | complain about remaining inodes due to the inode file either. Same | ||
225 | goes for mapping inode of the device address space. | ||
226 | |||
227 | Currently logfs uses a hack that essentially copies part of fs/inode.c | ||
228 | code over. A general solution would be preferred. | ||
229 | |||
230 | Indirect block mapping | ||
231 | ---------------------- | ||
232 | |||
233 | With compression, the block device (or mapping inode) cannot be used | ||
234 | to cache indirect blocks. Some other place is required. Currently | ||
235 | logfs uses the top half of each inode's address space. The low 8TB | ||
236 | (on 32bit) are filled with file data, the high 8TB are used for | ||
237 | indirect blocks. | ||
238 | |||
239 | One problem is that 16TB files created on 64bit systems actually have | ||
240 | data in the top 8TB. But files >16TB would cause problems anyway, so | ||
241 | only the limit has changed. | ||

295 | [mandatory] | ||

297 | ->clear_inode() and ->delete_inode() are gone; ->evict_inode() should | ||
298 | be used instead. It gets called whenever the inode is evicted, whether it has | ||
299 | remaining links or not. Caller does *not* evict the pagecache or inode-associated | ||
300 | metadata buffers; getting rid of those is responsibility of method, as it had | ||
301 | been for ->delete_inode(). | ||
302 | ->drop_inode() returns int now; it's called on final iput() with inode_lock | ||
303 | held and it returns true if filesystems wants the inode to be dropped. As before, | ||
304 | generic_drop_inode() is still the default and it's been updated appropriately. | ||
305 | generic_delete_inode() is also alive and it consists simply of return 1. Note that | ||
306 | all actual eviction work is done by caller after ->drop_inode() returns. | ||
307 | clear_inode() is gone; use end_writeback() instead. As before, it must | ||
308 | be called exactly once on each call of ->evict_inode() (as it used to be for | ||
309 | each call of ->delete_inode()). Unlike before, if you are using inode-associated | ||
310 | metadata buffers (i.e. mark_buffer_dirty_inode()), it's your responsibility to | ||
311 | call invalidate_inode_buffers() before end_writeback(). | ||
312 | No async writeback (and thus no calls of ->write_inode()) will happen | ||
313 | after end_writeback() returns, so actions that should not overlap with ->write_inode() | ||
314 | (e.g. freeing on-disk inode if i_nlink is 0) ought to be done after that call. | ||
315 | |||
316 | NOTE: checking i_nlink in the beginning of ->write_inode() and bailing out | ||
317 | if it's zero is not *and* *never* *had* *been* enough. Final unlink() and iput() | ||
318 | may happen while the inode is in the middle of ->write_inode(); e.g. if you blindly | ||
319 | free the on-disk inode, you may end up doing that while ->write_inode() is writing | ||
320 | to it. | ||

633 | Fragmentation avoidance in the kernel works by grouping pages of different | ||
634 | migrate types into the same contiguous regions of memory called page blocks. | ||
635 | A page block is typically the size of the default hugepage size e.g. 2MB on | ||
636 | X86-64. By keeping pages grouped based on their ability to move, the kernel | ||
637 | can reclaim pages within a page block to satisfy a high-order allocation. | ||
638 | |||
639 | The pagetypinfo begins with information on the size of a page block. It | ||
640 | then gives the same type of information as buddyinfo except broken down | ||
641 | by migrate-type and finishes with details on how many page blocks of each | ||
642 | type exist. | ||
643 | |||
644 | If min_free_kbytes has been tuned correctly (recommendations made by hugeadm | ||
645 | from libhugetlbfs http://sourceforge.net/projects/libhugetlbfs/), one can | ||
646 | make an estimate of the likely number of huge pages that can be allocated | ||
647 | at a given point in time. All the "Movable" blocks should be allocatable | ||
648 | unless memory has been mlock()'d. Some of the Reclaimable blocks should | ||
649 | also be allocatable although a lot of filesystem metadata may have to be | ||
650 | reclaimed to achieve this. | ||

1195 | run time (uptime - start time). The longer it runs the smaller is the score. | 1250 | |

1214 | points >>= -(oom_adj) otherwise | 1269 | report a badness score of 0. |
1215 | 1270 | ||
1216 | The task with the highest badness score is then selected and its children | 1271 | Consequently, it is very simple for userspace to define the amount of memory to |

1274 | same system, cpuset, mempolicy, or memory controller resources to use at least | ||
1275 | 50% more memory. A value of -500, on the other hand, would be roughly | ||
1276 | equivalent to discounting 50% of the task's allowed memory from being considered | ||
1277 | as scoring against the task. | ||
1278 | |||
1279 | For backwards compatibility with previous kernels, /proc/<pid>/oom_adj may also | ||
1280 | be used to tune the badness score. Its acceptable values range from -16 | ||
1281 | (OOM_ADJUST_MIN) to +15 (OOM_ADJUST_MAX) and a special value of -17 | ||
1282 | (OOM_DISABLE) to disable oom killing entirely for that task. Its value is | ||
1283 | scaled linearly with /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj. | ||
1284 | |||
1285 | Writing to /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj or /proc/<pid>/oom_adj will change the | ||

200 | --------------- | ||

202 | The xattr table contains extended attributes for each inode. The xattrs | ||
203 | for each inode are stored in a list, each list entry containing a type, | ||
204 | name and value field. The type field encodes the xattr prefix | ||
205 | ("user.", "trusted." etc) and it also encodes how the name/value fields | ||
206 | should be interpreted. Currently the type indicates whether the value | ||
207 | is stored inline (in which case the value field contains the xattr value), | ||
208 | or if it is stored out of line (in which case the value field stores a | ||
209 | reference to where the actual value is stored). This allows large values | ||
210 | to be stored out of line improving scanning and lookup performance and it | ||
211 | also allows values to be de-duplicated, the value being stored once, and | ||
212 | all other occurences holding an out of line reference to that value. | ||
213 | |||
214 | The xattr lists are packed into compressed 8K metadata blocks. | ||
215 | To reduce overhead in inodes, rather than storing the on-disk | ||
216 | location of the xattr list inside each inode, a 32-bit xattr id | ||
217 | is stored. This xattr id is mapped into the location of the xattr | ||

1 | Sysfs tagging | ||
2 | ------------- | ||
3 | |||
4 | (Taken almost verbatim from Eric Biederman's netns tagging patch | ||
5 | commit msg) | ||
6 | |||
7 | The problem. Network devices show up in sysfs and with the network | ||
8 | namespace active multiple devices with the same name can show up in | ||
9 | the same directory, ouch! | ||
10 | |||
11 | To avoid that problem and allow existing applications in network | ||
12 | namespaces to see the same interface that is currently presented in | ||
13 | sysfs, sysfs now has tagging directory support. | ||
14 | |||
15 | By using the network namespace pointers as tags to separate out the | ||
16 | the sysfs directory entries we ensure that we don't have conflicts | ||
17 | in the directories and applications only see a limited set of | ||
18 | the network devices. | ||
19 | |||
20 | Each sysfs directory entry may be tagged with zero or one | ||
21 | namespaces. A sysfs_dirent is augmented with a void *s_ns. If a | ||
22 | directory entry is tagged, then sysfs_dirent->s_flags will have a | ||
23 | flag between KOBJ_NS_TYPE_NONE and KOBJ_NS_TYPES, and s_ns will | ||
24 | point to the namespace to which it belongs. | ||
25 | |||
26 | Each sysfs superblock's sysfs_super_info contains an array void | ||
27 | *ns[KOBJ_NS_TYPES]. When a a task in a tagging namespace | ||
28 | kobj_nstype first mounts sysfs, a new superblock is created. It | ||
29 | will be differentiated from other sysfs mounts by having its | ||
30 | s_fs_info->ns[kobj_nstype] set to the new namespace. Note that | ||
31 | through bind mounting and mounts propagation, a task can easily view | ||
32 | the contents of other namespaces' sysfs mounts. Therefore, when a | ||
33 | namespace exits, it will call kobj_ns_exit() to invalidate any | ||
34 | sysfs_dirent->s_ns pointers pointing to it. | ||
35 | |||
36 | Users of this interface: | ||
37 | - define a type in the kobj_ns_type enumeration. | ||
38 | - call kobj_ns_type_register() with its kobj_ns_type_operations which has | ||
39 | - current_ns() which returns current's namespace | ||
40 | - netlink_ns() which returns a socket's namespace | ||
41 | - initial_ns() which returns the initial namesapce | ||
42 | - call kobj_ns_exit() when an individual tag is no longer valid | ||

1 | XFS Delayed Logging Design | ||
2 | -------------------------- | ||
3 | |||
4 | Introduction to Re-logging in XFS | ||
5 | --------------------------------- | ||
6 | |||
7 | XFS logging is a combination of logical and physical logging. Some objects, | ||
8 | such as inodes and dquots, are logged in logical format where the details | ||
9 | logged are made up of the changes to in-core structures rather than on-disk | ||
10 | structures. Other objects - typically buffers - have their physical changes | ||
11 | logged. The reason for these differences is to reduce the amount of log space | ||
12 | required for objects that are frequently logged. Some parts of inodes are more | ||
13 | frequently logged than others, and inodes are typically more frequently logged | ||
14 | than any other object (except maybe the superblock buffer) so keeping the | ||
15 | amount of metadata logged low is of prime importance. | ||
16 | |||
17 | The reason that this is such a concern is that XFS allows multiple separate | ||
18 | modifications to a single object to be carried in the log at any given time. | ||
19 | This allows the log to avoid needing to flush each change to disk before | ||
20 | recording a new change to the object. XFS does this via a method called | ||
21 | "re-logging". Conceptually, this is quite simple - all it requires is that any | ||
22 | new change to the object is recorded with a *new copy* of all the existing | ||
23 | changes in the new transaction that is written to the log. | ||
24 | |||
25 | That is, if we have a sequence of changes A through to F, and the object was | ||
26 | written to disk after change D, we would see in the log the following series | ||
27 | of transactions, their contents and the log sequence number (LSN) of the | ||
28 | transaction: | ||
29 | |||
30 | Transaction Contents LSN | ||
31 | A A X | ||
32 | B A+B X+n | ||
33 | C A+B+C X+n+m | ||
34 | D A+B+C+D X+n+m+o | ||
35 | <object written to disk> | ||
36 | E E Y (> X+n+m+o) | ||
37 | F E+F Yٍ+p | ||
38 | |||
39 | In other words, each time an object is relogged, the new transaction contains | ||
40 | the aggregation of all the previous changes currently held only in the log. | ||
41 | |||
42 | This relogging technique also allows objects to be moved forward in the log so | ||
43 | that an object being relogged does not prevent the tail of the log from ever | ||
44 | moving forward. This can be seen in the table above by the changing | ||
45 | (increasing) LSN of each subsquent transaction - the LSN is effectively a | ||
46 | direct encoding of the location in the log of the transaction. | ||
47 | |||
48 | This relogging is also used to implement long-running, multiple-commit | ||
49 | transactions. These transaction are known as rolling transactions, and require | ||
50 | a special log reservation known as a permanent transaction reservation. A | ||
51 | typical example of a rolling transaction is the removal of extents from an | ||
52 | inode which can only be done at a rate of two extents per transaction because | ||
53 | of reservation size limitations. Hence a rolling extent removal transaction | ||
54 | keeps relogging the inode and btree buffers as they get modified in each | ||
55 | removal operation. This keeps them moving forward in the log as the operation | ||
56 | progresses, ensuring that current operation never gets blocked by itself if the | ||
57 | log wraps around. | ||
58 | |||
59 | Hence it can be seen that the relogging operation is fundamental to the correct | ||
60 | working of the XFS journalling subsystem. From the above description, most | ||
61 | people should be able to see why the XFS metadata operations writes so much to | ||
62 | the log - repeated operations to the same objects write the same changes to | ||
63 | the log over and over again. Worse is the fact that objects tend to get | ||
64 | dirtier as they get relogged, so each subsequent transaction is writing more | ||
65 | metadata into the log. | ||
66 | |||
67 | Another feature of the XFS transaction subsystem is that most transactions are | ||
68 | asynchronous. That is, they don't commit to disk until either a log buffer is | ||
69 | filled (a log buffer can hold multiple transactions) or a synchronous operation | ||
70 | forces the log buffers holding the transactions to disk. This means that XFS is | ||
71 | doing aggregation of transactions in memory - batching them, if you like - to | ||
72 | minimise the impact of the log IO on transaction throughput. | ||
73 | |||
74 | The limitation on asynchronous transaction throughput is the number and size of | ||
75 | log buffers made available by the log manager. By default there are 8 log | ||
76 | buffers available and the size of each is 32kB - the size can be increased up | ||
77 | to 256kB by use of a mount option. | ||
78 | |||
79 | Effectively, this gives us the maximum bound of outstanding metadata changes | ||
80 | that can be made to the filesystem at any point in time - if all the log | ||
81 | buffers are full and under IO, then no more transactions can be committed until | ||
82 | the current batch completes. It is now common for a single current CPU core to | ||
83 | be to able to issue enough transactions to keep the log buffers full and under | ||
84 | IO permanently. Hence the XFS journalling subsystem can be considered to be IO | ||
85 | bound. | ||
86 | |||
87 | Delayed Logging: Concepts | ||
88 | ------------------------- | ||
89 | |||
90 | The key thing to note about the asynchronous logging combined with the | ||
91 | relogging technique XFS uses is that we can be relogging changed objects | ||
92 | multiple times before they are committed to disk in the log buffers. If we | ||
93 | return to the previous relogging example, it is entirely possible that | ||
94 | transactions A through D are committed to disk in the same log buffer. | ||
95 | |||
96 | That is, a single log buffer may contain multiple copies of the same object, | ||
97 | but only one of those copies needs to be there - the last one "D", as it | ||
98 | contains all the changes from the previous changes. In other words, we have one | ||
99 | necessary copy in the log buffer, and three stale copies that are simply | ||
100 | wasting space. When we are doing repeated operations on the same set of | ||
101 | objects, these "stale objects" can be over 90% of the space used in the log | ||
102 | buffers. It is clear that reducing the number of stale objects written to the | ||
103 | log would greatly reduce the amount of metadata we write to the log, and this | ||
104 | is the fundamental goal of delayed logging. | ||
105 | |||
106 | From a conceptual point of view, XFS is already doing relogging in memory (where | ||
107 | memory == log buffer), only it is doing it extremely inefficiently. It is using | ||
108 | logical to physical formatting to do the relogging because there is no | ||
109 | infrastructure to keep track of logical changes in memory prior to physically | ||
110 | formatting the changes in a transaction to the log buffer. Hence we cannot avoid | ||
111 | accumulating stale objects in the log buffers. | ||
112 | |||
113 | Delayed logging is the name we've given to keeping and tracking transactional | ||
114 | changes to objects in memory outside the log buffer infrastructure. Because of | ||
115 | the relogging concept fundamental to the XFS journalling subsystem, this is | ||
116 | actually relatively easy to do - all the changes to logged items are already | ||
117 | tracked in the current infrastructure. The big problem is how to accumulate | ||
118 | them and get them to the log in a consistent, recoverable manner. | ||
119 | Describing the problems and how they have been solved is the focus of this | ||
120 | document. | ||
121 | |||
122 | One of the key changes that delayed logging makes to the operation of the | ||
123 | journalling subsystem is that it disassociates the amount of outstanding | ||
124 | metadata changes from the size and number of log buffers available. In other | ||
125 | words, instead of there only being a maximum of 2MB of transaction changes not | ||
126 | written to the log at any point in time, there may be a much greater amount | ||
127 | being accumulated in memory. Hence the potential for loss of metadata on a | ||
128 | crash is much greater than for the existing logging mechanism. | ||
129 | |||
130 | It should be noted that this does not change the guarantee that log recovery | ||
131 | will result in a consistent filesystem. What it does mean is that as far as the | ||
132 | recovered filesystem is concerned, there may be many thousands of transactions | ||
133 | that simply did not occur as a result of the crash. This makes it even more | ||
134 | important that applications that care about their data use fsync() where they | ||
135 | need to ensure application level data integrity is maintained. | ||
136 | |||
137 | It should be noted that delayed logging is not an innovative new concept that | ||
138 | warrants rigorous proofs to determine whether it is correct or not. The method | ||
139 | of accumulating changes in memory for some period before writing them to the | ||
140 | log is used effectively in many filesystems including ext3 and ext4. Hence | ||
141 | no time is spent in this document trying to convince the reader that the | ||
142 | concept is sound. Instead it is simply considered a "solved problem" and as | ||
143 | such implementing it in XFS is purely an exercise in software engineering. | ||
144 | |||
145 | The fundamental requirements for delayed logging in XFS are simple: | ||
146 | |||
147 | 1. Reduce the amount of metadata written to the log by at least | ||
148 | an order of magnitude. | ||
149 | 2. Supply sufficient statistics to validate Requirement #1. | ||
150 | 3. Supply sufficient new tracing infrastructure to be able to debug | ||
151 | problems with the new code. | ||
152 | 4. No on-disk format change (metadata or log format). | ||
153 | 5. Enable and disable with a mount option. | ||
154 | 6. No performance regressions for synchronous transaction workloads. | ||
155 | |||
156 | Delayed Logging: Design | ||
157 | ----------------------- | ||
158 | |||
159 | Storing Changes | ||
160 | |||
161 | The problem with accumulating changes at a logical level (i.e. just using the | ||
162 | existing log item dirty region tracking) is that when it comes to writing the | ||
163 | changes to the log buffers, we need to ensure that the object we are formatting | ||
164 | is not changing while we do this. This requires locking the object to prevent | ||
165 | concurrent modification. Hence flushing the logical changes to the log would | ||
166 | require us to lock every object, format them, and then unlock them again. | ||
167 | |||
168 | This introduces lots of scope for deadlocks with transactions that are already | ||
169 | running. For example, a transaction has object A locked and modified, but needs | ||
170 | the delayed logging tracking lock to commit the transaction. However, the | ||
171 | flushing thread has the delayed logging tracking lock already held, and is | ||
172 | trying to get the lock on object A to flush it to the log buffer. This appears | ||
173 | to be an unsolvable deadlock condition, and it was solving this problem that | ||
174 | was the barrier to implementing delayed logging for so long. | ||
175 | |||
176 | The solution is relatively simple - it just took a long time to recognise it. | ||
177 | Put simply, the current logging code formats the changes to each item into an | ||
178 | vector array that points to the changed regions in the item. The log write code | ||
179 | simply copies the memory these vectors point to into the log buffer during | ||
180 | transaction commit while the item is locked in the transaction. Instead of | ||
181 | using the log buffer as the destination of the formatting code, we can use an | ||
182 | allocated memory buffer big enough to fit the formatted vector. | ||
183 | |||
184 | If we then copy the vector into the memory buffer and rewrite the vector to | ||
185 | point to the memory buffer rather than the object itself, we now have a copy of | ||
186 | the changes in a format that is compatible with the log buffer writing code. | ||
187 | that does not require us to lock the item to access. This formatting and | ||
188 | rewriting can all be done while the object is locked during transaction commit, | ||
189 | resulting in a vector that is transactionally consistent and can be accessed | ||
190 | without needing to lock the owning item. | ||
191 | |||
192 | Hence we avoid the need to lock items when we need to flush outstanding | ||
193 | asynchronous transactions to the log. The differences between the existing | ||
194 | formatting method and the delayed logging formatting can be seen in the | ||
195 | diagram below. | ||
196 | |||
197 | Current format log vector: | ||
198 | |||
199 | Object +---------------------------------------------+ | ||
200 | Vector 1 +----+ | ||
201 | Vector 2 +----+ | ||
202 | Vector 3 +----------+ | ||
203 | |||
204 | After formatting: | ||
205 | |||
206 | Log Buffer +-V1-+-V2-+----V3----+ | ||
207 | |||
208 | Delayed logging vector: | ||
209 | |||
210 | Object +---------------------------------------------+ | ||
211 | Vector 1 +----+ | ||
212 | Vector 2 +----+ | ||
213 | Vector 3 +----------+ | ||
214 | |||
215 | After formatting: | ||
216 | |||
217 | Memory Buffer +-V1-+-V2-+----V3----+ | ||
218 | Vector 1 +----+ | ||
219 | Vector 2 +----+ | ||
220 | Vector 3 +----------+ | ||
221 | |||
222 | The memory buffer and associated vector need to be passed as a single object, | ||
223 | but still need to be associated with the parent object so if the object is | ||
224 | relogged we can replace the current memory buffer with a new memory buffer that | ||
225 | contains the latest changes. | ||
226 | |||
227 | The reason for keeping the vector around after we've formatted the memory | ||
228 | buffer is to support splitting vectors across log buffer boundaries correctly. | ||
229 | If we don't keep the vector around, we do not know where the region boundaries | ||
230 | are in the item, so we'd need a new encapsulation method for regions in the log | ||
231 | buffer writing (i.e. double encapsulation). This would be an on-disk format | ||
232 | change and as such is not desirable. It also means we'd have to write the log | ||
233 | region headers in the formatting stage, which is problematic as there is per | ||
234 | region state that needs to be placed into the headers during the log write. | ||
235 | |||
236 | Hence we need to keep the vector, but by attaching the memory buffer to it and | ||
237 | rewriting the vector addresses to point at the memory buffer we end up with a | ||
238 | self-describing object that can be passed to the log buffer write code to be | ||
239 | handled in exactly the same manner as the existing log vectors are handled. | ||
240 | Hence we avoid needing a new on-disk format to handle items that have been | ||
241 | relogged in memory. | ||
242 | |||
243 | |||
244 | Tracking Changes | ||
245 | |||
246 | Now that we can record transactional changes in memory in a form that allows | ||
247 | them to be used without limitations, we need to be able to track and accumulate | ||
248 | them so that they can be written to the log at some later point in time. The | ||
249 | log item is the natural place to store this vector and buffer, and also makes sense | ||
250 | to be the object that is used to track committed objects as it will always | ||
251 | exist once the object has been included in a transaction. | ||
252 | |||
253 | The log item is already used to track the log items that have been written to | ||
254 | the log but not yet written to disk. Such log items are considered "active" | ||
255 | and as such are stored in the Active Item List (AIL) which is a LSN-ordered | ||
256 | double linked list. Items are inserted into this list during log buffer IO | ||
257 | completion, after which they are unpinned and can be written to disk. An object | ||
258 | that is in the AIL can be relogged, which causes the object to be pinned again | ||
259 | and then moved forward in the AIL when the log buffer IO completes for that | ||
260 | transaction. | ||
261 | |||
262 | Essentially, this shows that an item that is in the AIL can still be modified | ||
263 | and relogged, so any tracking must be separate to the AIL infrastructure. As | ||
264 | such, we cannot reuse the AIL list pointers for tracking committed items, nor | ||
265 | can we store state in any field that is protected by the AIL lock. Hence the | ||
266 | committed item tracking needs it's own locks, lists and state fields in the log | ||
267 | item. | ||
268 | |||
269 | Similar to the AIL, tracking of committed items is done through a new list | ||
270 | called the Committed Item List (CIL). The list tracks log items that have been | ||
271 | committed and have formatted memory buffers attached to them. It tracks objects | ||
272 | in transaction commit order, so when an object is relogged it is removed from | ||
273 | it's place in the list and re-inserted at the tail. This is entirely arbitrary | ||
274 | and done to make it easy for debugging - the last items in the list are the | ||
275 | ones that are most recently modified. Ordering of the CIL is not necessary for | ||
276 | transactional integrity (as discussed in the next section) so the ordering is | ||
277 | done for convenience/sanity of the developers. | ||
278 | |||
279 | |||
280 | Delayed Logging: Checkpoints | ||
281 | |||
282 | When we have a log synchronisation event, commonly known as a "log force", | ||
283 | all the items in the CIL must be written into the log via the log buffers. | ||
284 | We need to write these items in the order that they exist in the CIL, and they | ||
285 | need to be written as an atomic transaction. The need for all the objects to be | ||
286 | written as an atomic transaction comes from the requirements of relogging and | ||
287 | log replay - all the changes in all the objects in a given transaction must | ||
288 | either be completely replayed during log recovery, or not replayed at all. If | ||
289 | a transaction is not replayed because it is not complete in the log, then | ||
290 | no later transactions should be replayed, either. | ||
291 | |||
292 | To fulfill this requirement, we need to write the entire CIL in a single log | ||
293 | transaction. Fortunately, the XFS log code has no fixed limit on the size of a | ||
294 | transaction, nor does the log replay code. The only fundamental limit is that | ||
295 | the transaction cannot be larger than just under half the size of the log. The | ||
296 | reason for this limit is that to find the head and tail of the log, there must | ||
297 | be at least one complete transaction in the log at any given time. If a | ||
298 | transaction is larger than half the log, then there is the possibility that a | ||
299 | crash during the write of a such a transaction could partially overwrite the | ||
300 | only complete previous transaction in the log. This will result in a recovery | ||
301 | failure and an inconsistent filesystem and hence we must enforce the maximum | ||
302 | size of a checkpoint to be slightly less than a half the log. | ||
303 | |||
304 | Apart from this size requirement, a checkpoint transaction looks no different | ||
305 | to any other transaction - it contains a transaction header, a series of | ||
306 | formatted log items and a commit record at the tail. From a recovery | ||
307 | perspective, the checkpoint transaction is also no different - just a lot | ||
308 | bigger with a lot more items in it. The worst case effect of this is that we | ||
309 | might need to tune the recovery transaction object hash size. | ||
310 | |||
311 | Because the checkpoint is just another transaction and all the changes to log | ||
312 | items are stored as log vectors, we can use the existing log buffer writing | ||
313 | code to write the changes into the log. To do this efficiently, we need to | ||
314 | minimise the time we hold the CIL locked while writing the checkpoint | ||
315 | transaction. The current log write code enables us to do this easily with the | ||
316 | way it separates the writing of the transaction contents (the log vectors) from | ||
317 | the transaction commit record, but tracking this requires us to have a | ||
318 | per-checkpoint context that travels through the log write process through to | ||
319 | checkpoint completion. | ||
320 | |||
321 | Hence a checkpoint has a context that tracks the state of the current | ||
322 | checkpoint from initiation to checkpoint completion. A new context is initiated | ||
323 | at the same time a checkpoint transaction is started. That is, when we remove | ||
324 | all the current items from the CIL during a checkpoint operation, we move all | ||
325 | those changes into the current checkpoint context. We then initialise a new | ||
326 | context and attach that to the CIL for aggregation of new transactions. | ||
327 | |||
328 | This allows us to unlock the CIL immediately after transfer of all the | ||
329 | committed items and effectively allow new transactions to be issued while we | ||
330 | are formatting the checkpoint into the log. It also allows concurrent | ||
331 | checkpoints to be written into the log buffers in the case of log force heavy | ||
332 | workloads, just like the existing transaction commit code does. This, however, | ||
333 | requires that we strictly order the commit records in the log so that | ||
334 | checkpoint sequence order is maintained during log replay. | ||
335 | |||
336 | To ensure that we can be writing an item into a checkpoint transaction at | ||
337 | the same time another transaction modifies the item and inserts the log item | ||
338 | into the new CIL, then checkpoint transaction commit code cannot use log items | ||
339 | to store the list of log vectors that need to be written into the transaction. | ||
340 | Hence log vectors need to be able to be chained together to allow them to be | ||
341 | detatched from the log items. That is, when the CIL is flushed the memory | ||
342 | buffer and log vector attached to each log item needs to be attached to the | ||
343 | checkpoint context so that the log item can be released. In diagrammatic form, | ||
344 | the CIL would look like this before the flush: | ||
345 | |||
346 | CIL Head | ||
347 | | | ||
348 | V | ||
349 | Log Item <-> log vector 1 -> memory buffer | ||
350 | | -> vector array | ||
351 | V | ||
352 | Log Item <-> log vector 2 -> memory buffer | ||
353 | | -> vector array | ||
354 | V | ||
355 | ...... | ||
356 | | | ||
357 | V | ||
358 | Log Item <-> log vector N-1 -> memory buffer | ||
359 | | -> vector array | ||
360 | V | ||
361 | Log Item <-> log vector N -> memory buffer | ||
362 | -> vector array | ||
363 | |||
364 | And after the flush the CIL head is empty, and the checkpoint context log | ||
365 | vector list would look like: | ||
366 | |||
367 | Checkpoint Context | ||
368 | | | ||
369 | V | ||
370 | log vector 1 -> memory buffer | ||
371 | | -> vector array | ||
372 | | -> Log Item | ||
373 | V | ||
374 | log vector 2 -> memory buffer | ||
375 | | -> vector array | ||
376 | | -> Log Item | ||
377 | V | ||
378 | ...... | ||
379 | | | ||
380 | V | ||
381 | log vector N-1 -> memory buffer | ||
382 | | -> vector array | ||
383 | | -> Log Item | ||
384 | V | ||
385 | log vector N -> memory buffer | ||
386 | -> vector array | ||
387 | -> Log Item | ||
388 | |||
389 | Once this transfer is done, the CIL can be unlocked and new transactions can | ||
390 | start, while the checkpoint flush code works over the log vector chain to | ||
391 | commit the checkpoint. | ||
392 | |||
393 | Once the checkpoint is written into the log buffers, the checkpoint context is | ||
394 | attached to the log buffer that the commit record was written to along with a | ||
395 | completion callback. Log IO completion will call that callback, which can then | ||
396 | run transaction committed processing for the log items (i.e. insert into AIL | ||
397 | and unpin) in the log vector chain and then free the log vector chain and | ||
398 | checkpoint context. | ||
399 | |||
400 | Discussion Point: I am uncertain as to whether the log item is the most | ||
401 | efficient way to track vectors, even though it seems like the natural way to do | ||
402 | it. The fact that we walk the log items (in the CIL) just to chain the log | ||
403 | vectors and break the link between the log item and the log vector means that | ||
404 | we take a cache line hit for the log item list modification, then another for | ||
405 | the log vector chaining. If we track by the log vectors, then we only need to | ||
406 | break the link between the log item and the log vector, which means we should | ||
407 | dirty only the log item cachelines. Normally I wouldn't be concerned about one | ||
408 | vs two dirty cachelines except for the fact I've seen upwards of 80,000 log | ||
409 | vectors in one checkpoint transaction. I'd guess this is a "measure and | ||
410 | compare" situation that can be done after a working and reviewed implementation | ||
411 | is in the dev tree.... | ||
412 | |||
413 | Delayed Logging: Checkpoint Sequencing | ||
414 | |||
415 | One of the key aspects of the XFS transaction subsystem is that it tags | ||
416 | committed transactions with the log sequence number of the transaction commit. | ||
417 | This allows transactions to be issued asynchronously even though there may be | ||
418 | future operations that cannot be completed until that transaction is fully | ||
419 | committed to the log. In the rare case that a dependent operation occurs (e.g. | ||
420 | re-using a freed metadata extent for a data extent), a special, optimised log | ||
421 | force can be issued to force the dependent transaction to disk immediately. | ||
422 | |||
423 | To do this, transactions need to record the LSN of the commit record of the | ||
424 | transaction. This LSN comes directly from the log buffer the transaction is | ||
425 | written into. While this works just fine for the existing transaction | ||
426 | mechanism, it does not work for delayed logging because transactions are not | ||
427 | written directly into the log buffers. Hence some other method of sequencing | ||
428 | transactions is required. | ||
429 | |||
430 | As discussed in the checkpoint section, delayed logging uses per-checkpoint | ||
431 | contexts, and as such it is simple to assign a sequence number to each | ||
432 | checkpoint. Because the switching of checkpoint contexts must be done | ||
433 | atomically, it is simple to ensure that each new context has a monotonically | ||
434 | increasing sequence number assigned to it without the need for an external | ||
435 | atomic counter - we can just take the current context sequence number and add | ||
436 | one to it for the new context. | ||
437 | |||
438 | Then, instead of assigning a log buffer LSN to the transaction commit LSN | ||
439 | during the commit, we can assign the current checkpoint sequence. This allows | ||
440 | operations that track transactions that have not yet completed know what | ||
441 | checkpoint sequence needs to be committed before they can continue. As a | ||
442 | result, the code that forces the log to a specific LSN now needs to ensure that | ||
443 | the log forces to a specific checkpoint. | ||
444 | |||
445 | To ensure that we can do this, we need to track all the checkpoint contexts | ||
446 | that are currently committing to the log. When we flush a checkpoint, the | ||
447 | context gets added to a "committing" list which can be searched. When a | ||
448 | checkpoint commit completes, it is removed from the committing list. Because | ||
449 | the checkpoint context records the LSN of the commit record for the checkpoint, | ||
450 | we can also wait on the log buffer that contains the commit record, thereby | ||
451 | using the existing log force mechanisms to execute synchronous forces. | ||
452 | |||
453 | It should be noted that the synchronous forces may need to be extended with | ||
454 | mitigation algorithms similar to the current log buffer code to allow | ||
455 | aggregation of multiple synchronous transactions if there are already | ||
456 | synchronous transactions being flushed. Investigation of the performance of the | ||
457 | current design is needed before making any decisions here. | ||
458 | |||
459 | The main concern with log forces is to ensure that all the previous checkpoints | ||
460 | are also committed to disk before the one we need to wait for. Therefore we | ||
461 | need to check that all the prior contexts in the committing list are also | ||
462 | complete before waiting on the one we need to complete. We do this | ||
463 | synchronisation in the log force code so that we don't need to wait anywhere | ||
464 | else for such serialisation - it only matters when we do a log force. | ||
465 | |||
466 | The only remaining complexity is that a log force now also has to handle the | ||
467 | case where the forcing sequence number is the same as the current context. That | ||
468 | is, we need to flush the CIL and potentially wait for it to complete. This is a | ||
469 | simple addition to the existing log forcing code to check the sequence numbers | ||
470 | and push if required. Indeed, placing the current sequence checkpoint flush in | ||
471 | the log force code enables the current mechanism for issuing synchronous | ||
472 | transactions to remain untouched (i.e. commit an asynchronous transaction, then | ||
473 | force the log at the LSN of that transaction) and so the higher level code | ||
474 | behaves the same regardless of whether delayed logging is being used or not. | ||
475 | |||
476 | Delayed Logging: Checkpoint Log Space Accounting | ||
477 | |||
478 | The big issue for a checkpoint transaction is the log space reservation for the | ||
479 | transaction. We don't know how big a checkpoint transaction is going to be | ||
480 | ahead of time, nor how many log buffers it will take to write out, nor the | ||
481 | number of split log vector regions are going to be used. We can track the | ||
482 | amount of log space required as we add items to the commit item list, but we | ||
483 | still need to reserve the space in the log for the checkpoint. | ||
484 | |||
485 | A typical transaction reserves enough space in the log for the worst case space | ||
486 | usage of the transaction. The reservation accounts for log record headers, | ||
487 | transaction and region headers, headers for split regions, buffer tail padding, | ||
488 | etc. as well as the actual space for all the changed metadata in the | ||
489 | transaction. While some of this is fixed overhead, much of it is dependent on | ||
490 | the size of the transaction and the number of regions being logged (the number | ||
491 | of log vectors in the transaction). | ||
492 | |||
493 | An example of the differences would be logging directory changes versus logging | ||
494 | inode changes. If you modify lots of inode cores (e.g. chmod -R g+w *), then | ||
495 | there are lots of transactions that only contain an inode core and an inode log | ||
496 | format structure. That is, two vectors totaling roughly 150 bytes. If we modify | ||
497 | 10,000 inodes, we have about 1.5MB of metadata to write in 20,000 vectors. Each | ||
498 | vector is 12 bytes, so the total to be logged is approximately 1.75MB. In | ||
499 | comparison, if we are logging full directory buffers, they are typically 4KB | ||
500 | each, so we in 1.5MB of directory buffers we'd have roughly 400 buffers and a | ||
501 | buffer format structure for each buffer - roughly 800 vectors or 1.51MB total | ||
502 | space. From this, it should be obvious that a static log space reservation is | ||
503 | not particularly flexible and is difficult to select the "optimal value" for | ||
504 | all workloads. | ||
505 | |||
506 | Further, if we are going to use a static reservation, which bit of the entire | ||
507 | reservation does it cover? We account for space used by the transaction | ||
508 | reservation by tracking the space currently used by the object in the CIL and | ||
509 | then calculating the increase or decrease in space used as the object is | ||
510 | relogged. This allows for a checkpoint reservation to only have to account for | ||
511 | log buffer metadata used such as log header records. | ||
512 | |||
513 | However, even using a static reservation for just the log metadata is | ||
514 | problematic. Typically log record headers use at least 16KB of log space per | ||
515 | 1MB of log space consumed (512 bytes per 32k) and the reservation needs to be | ||
516 | large enough to handle arbitrary sized checkpoint transactions. This | ||
517 | reservation needs to be made before the checkpoint is started, and we need to | ||
518 | be able to reserve the space without sleeping. For a 8MB checkpoint, we need a | ||
519 | reservation of around 150KB, which is a non-trivial amount of space. | ||
520 | |||
521 | A static reservation needs to manipulate the log grant counters - we can take a | ||
522 | permanent reservation on the space, but we still need to make sure we refresh | ||
523 | the write reservation (the actual space available to the transaction) after | ||
524 | every checkpoint transaction completion. Unfortunately, if this space is not | ||
525 | available when required, then the regrant code will sleep waiting for it. | ||
526 | |||
527 | The problem with this is that it can lead to deadlocks as we may need to commit | ||
528 | checkpoints to be able to free up log space (refer back to the description of | ||
529 | rolling transactions for an example of this). Hence we *must* always have | ||
530 | space available in the log if we are to use static reservations, and that is | ||
531 | very difficult and complex to arrange. It is possible to do, but there is a | ||
532 | simpler way. | ||
533 | |||
534 | The simpler way of doing this is tracking the entire log space used by the | ||
535 | items in the CIL and using this to dynamically calculate the amount of log | ||
536 | space required by the log metadata. If this log metadata space changes as a | ||
537 | result of a transaction commit inserting a new memory buffer into the CIL, then | ||
538 | the difference in space required is removed from the transaction that causes | ||
539 | the change. Transactions at this level will *always* have enough space | ||
540 | available in their reservation for this as they have already reserved the | ||
541 | maximal amount of log metadata space they require, and such a delta reservation | ||
542 | will always be less than or equal to the maximal amount in the reservation. | ||
543 | |||
544 | Hence we can grow the checkpoint transaction reservation dynamically as items | ||
545 | are added to the CIL and avoid the need for reserving and regranting log space | ||
546 | up front. This avoids deadlocks and removes a blocking point from the | ||
547 | checkpoint flush code. | ||
548 | |||
549 | As mentioned early, transactions can't grow to more than half the size of the | ||
550 | log. Hence as part of the reservation growing, we need to also check the size | ||
551 | of the reservation against the maximum allowed transaction size. If we reach | ||
552 | the maximum threshold, we need to push the CIL to the log. This is effectively | ||
553 | a "background flush" and is done on demand. This is identical to | ||
554 | a CIL push triggered by a log force, only that there is no waiting for the | ||
555 | checkpoint commit to complete. This background push is checked and executed by | ||
556 | transaction commit code. | ||
557 | |||
558 | If the transaction subsystem goes idle while we still have items in the CIL, | ||
559 | they will be flushed by the periodic log force issued by the xfssyncd. This log | ||
560 | force will push the CIL to disk, and if the transaction subsystem stays idle, | ||
561 | allow the idle log to be covered (effectively marked clean) in exactly the same | ||
562 | manner that is done for the existing logging method. A discussion point is | ||
563 | whether this log force needs to be done more frequently than the current rate | ||
564 | which is once every 30s. | ||
565 | |||
566 | |||
567 | Delayed Logging: Log Item Pinning | ||
568 | |||
569 | Currently log items are pinned during transaction commit while the items are | ||
570 | still locked. This happens just after the items are formatted, though it could | ||
571 | be done any time before the items are unlocked. The result of this mechanism is | ||
572 | that items get pinned once for every transaction that is committed to the log | ||
573 | buffers. Hence items that are relogged in the log buffers will have a pin count | ||
574 | for every outstanding transaction they were dirtied in. When each of these | ||
575 | transactions is completed, they will unpin the item once. As a result, the item | ||
576 | only becomes unpinned when all the transactions complete and there are no | ||
577 | pending transactions. Thus the pinning and unpinning of a log item is symmetric | ||
578 | as there is a 1:1 relationship with transaction commit and log item completion. | ||
579 | |||
580 | For delayed logging, however, we have an assymetric transaction commit to | ||
581 | completion relationship. Every time an object is relogged in the CIL it goes | ||
582 | through the commit process without a corresponding completion being registered. | ||
583 | That is, we now have a many-to-one relationship between transaction commit and | ||
584 | log item completion. The result of this is that pinning and unpinning of the | ||
585 | log items becomes unbalanced if we retain the "pin on transaction commit, unpin | ||
586 | on transaction completion" model. | ||
587 | |||
588 | To keep pin/unpin symmetry, the algorithm needs to change to a "pin on | ||
589 | insertion into the CIL, unpin on checkpoint completion". In other words, the | ||
590 | pinning and unpinning becomes symmetric around a checkpoint context. We have to | ||
591 | pin the object the first time it is inserted into the CIL - if it is already in | ||
592 | the CIL during a transaction commit, then we do not pin it again. Because there | ||
593 | can be multiple outstanding checkpoint contexts, we can still see elevated pin | ||
594 | counts, but as each checkpoint completes the pin count will retain the correct | ||
595 | value according to it's context. | ||
596 | |||
597 | Just to make matters more slightly more complex, this checkpoint level context | ||
598 | for the pin count means that the pinning of an item must take place under the | ||
599 | CIL commit/flush lock. If we pin the object outside this lock, we cannot | ||
600 | guarantee which context the pin count is associated with. This is because of | ||
601 | the fact pinning the item is dependent on whether the item is present in the | ||
602 | current CIL or not. If we don't pin the CIL first before we check and pin the | ||
603 | object, we have a race with CIL being flushed between the check and the pin | ||
604 | (or not pinning, as the case may be). Hence we must hold the CIL flush/commit | ||
605 | lock to guarantee that we pin the items correctly. | ||
606 | |||
607 | Delayed Logging: Concurrent Scalability | ||
608 | |||
609 | A fundamental requirement for the CIL is that accesses through transaction | ||
610 | commits must scale to many concurrent commits. The current transaction commit | ||
611 | code does not break down even when there are transactions coming from 2048 | ||
612 | processors at once. The current transaction code does not go any faster than if | ||
613 | there was only one CPU using it, but it does not slow down either. | ||
614 | |||
615 | As a result, the delayed logging transaction commit code needs to be designed | ||
616 | for concurrency from the ground up. It is obvious that there are serialisation | ||
617 | points in the design - the three important ones are: | ||
618 | |||
619 | 1. Locking out new transaction commits while flushing the CIL | ||
620 | 2. Adding items to the CIL and updating item space accounting | ||
621 | 3. Checkpoint commit ordering | ||
622 | |||
623 | Looking at the transaction commit and CIL flushing interactions, it is clear | ||
624 | that we have a many-to-one interaction here. That is, the only restriction on | ||
625 | the number of concurrent transactions that can be trying to commit at once is | ||
626 | the amount of space available in the log for their reservations. The practical | ||
627 | limit here is in the order of several hundred concurrent transactions for a | ||
628 | 128MB log, which means that it is generally one per CPU in a machine. | ||
629 | |||
630 | The amount of time a transaction commit needs to hold out a flush is a | ||
631 | relatively long period of time - the pinning of log items needs to be done | ||
632 | while we are holding out a CIL flush, so at the moment that means it is held | ||
633 | across the formatting of the objects into memory buffers (i.e. while memcpy()s | ||
634 | are in progress). Ultimately a two pass algorithm where the formatting is done | ||
635 | separately to the pinning of objects could be used to reduce the hold time of | ||
636 | the transaction commit side. | ||
637 | |||
638 | Because of the number of potential transaction commit side holders, the lock | ||
639 | really needs to be a sleeping lock - if the CIL flush takes the lock, we do not | ||
640 | want every other CPU in the machine spinning on the CIL lock. Given that | ||
641 | flushing the CIL could involve walking a list of tens of thousands of log | ||
642 | items, it will get held for a significant time and so spin contention is a | ||
643 | significant concern. Preventing lots of CPUs spinning doing nothing is the | ||
644 | main reason for choosing a sleeping lock even though nothing in either the | ||
645 | transaction commit or CIL flush side sleeps with the lock held. | ||
646 | |||
647 | It should also be noted that CIL flushing is also a relatively rare operation | ||
648 | compared to transaction commit for asynchronous transaction workloads - only | ||
649 | time will tell if using a read-write semaphore for exclusion will limit | ||
650 | transaction commit concurrency due to cache line bouncing of the lock on the | ||
651 | read side. | ||
652 | |||
653 | The second serialisation point is on the transaction commit side where items | ||
654 | are inserted into the CIL. Because transactions can enter this code | ||
655 | concurrently, the CIL needs to be protected separately from the above | ||
656 | commit/flush exclusion. It also needs to be an exclusive lock but it is only | ||
657 | held for a very short time and so a spin lock is appropriate here. It is | ||
658 | possible that this lock will become a contention point, but given the short | ||
659 | hold time once per transaction I think that contention is unlikely. | ||
660 | |||
661 | The final serialisation point is the checkpoint commit record ordering code | ||
662 | that is run as part of the checkpoint commit and log force sequencing. The code | ||
663 | path that triggers a CIL flush (i.e. whatever triggers the log force) will enter | ||
664 | an ordering loop after writing all the log vectors into the log buffers but | ||
665 | before writing the commit record. This loop walks the list of committing | ||
666 | checkpoints and needs to block waiting for checkpoints to complete their commit | ||
667 | record write. As a result it needs a lock and a wait variable. Log force | ||
668 | sequencing also requires the same lock, list walk, and blocking mechanism to | ||
669 | ensure completion of checkpoints. | ||
670 | |||
671 | These two sequencing operations can use the mechanism even though the | ||
672 | events they are waiting for are different. The checkpoint commit record | ||
673 | sequencing needs to wait until checkpoint contexts contain a commit LSN | ||
674 | (obtained through completion of a commit record write) while log force | ||
675 | sequencing needs to wait until previous checkpoint contexts are removed from | ||
676 | the committing list (i.e. they've completed). A simple wait variable and | ||
677 | broadcast wakeups (thundering herds) has been used to implement these two | ||
678 | serialisation queues. They use the same lock as the CIL, too. If we see too | ||
679 | much contention on the CIL lock, or too many context switches as a result of | ||
680 | the broadcast wakeups these operations can be put under a new spinlock and | ||
681 | given separate wait lists to reduce lock contention and the number of processes | ||
682 | woken by the wrong event. | ||
683 | |||
684 | |||
685 | Lifecycle Changes | ||
686 | |||
687 | The existing log item life cycle is as follows: | ||
688 | |||
689 | 1. Transaction allocate | ||
690 | 2. Transaction reserve | ||
691 | 3. Lock item | ||
692 | 4. Join item to transaction | ||
693 | If not already attached, | ||
694 | Allocate log item | ||
695 | Attach log item to owner item | ||
696 | Attach log item to transaction | ||
697 | 5. Modify item | ||
698 | Record modifications in log item | ||
699 | 6. Transaction commit | ||
700 | Pin item in memory | ||
701 | Format item into log buffer | ||
702 | Write commit LSN into transaction | ||
703 | Unlock item | ||
704 | Attach transaction to log buffer | ||
705 | |||
706 | <log buffer IO dispatched> | ||
707 | <log buffer IO completes> | ||
708 | |||
709 | 7. Transaction completion | ||
710 | Mark log item committed | ||
711 | Insert log item into AIL | ||
712 | Write commit LSN into log item | ||
713 | Unpin log item | ||
714 | 8. AIL traversal | ||
715 | Lock item | ||
716 | Mark log item clean | ||
717 | Flush item to disk | ||
718 | |||
719 | <item IO completion> | ||
720 | |||
721 | 9. Log item removed from AIL | ||
722 | Moves log tail | ||
723 | Item unlocked | ||
724 | |||
725 | Essentially, steps 1-6 operate independently from step 7, which is also | ||
726 | independent of steps 8-9. An item can be locked in steps 1-6 or steps 8-9 | ||
727 | at the same time step 7 is occurring, but only steps 1-6 or 8-9 can occur | ||
728 | at the same time. If the log item is in the AIL or between steps 6 and 7 | ||
729 | and steps 1-6 are re-entered, then the item is relogged. Only when steps 8-9 | ||
730 | are entered and completed is the object considered clean. | ||
731 | |||
732 | With delayed logging, there are new steps inserted into the life cycle: | ||
733 | |||
734 | 1. Transaction allocate | ||
735 | 2. Transaction reserve | ||
736 | 3. Lock item | ||
737 | 4. Join item to transaction | ||
738 | If not already attached, | ||
739 | Allocate log item | ||
740 | Attach log item to owner item | ||
741 | Attach log item to transaction | ||
742 | 5. Modify item | ||
743 | Record modifications in log item | ||
744 | 6. Transaction commit | ||
745 | Pin item in memory if not pinned in CIL | ||
746 | Format item into log vector + buffer | ||
747 | Attach log vector and buffer to log item | ||
748 | Insert log item into CIL | ||
749 | Write CIL context sequence into transaction | ||
750 | Unlock item | ||
751 | |||
752 | <next log force> | ||
753 | |||
754 | 7. CIL push | ||
755 | lock CIL flush | ||
756 | Chain log vectors and buffers together | ||
757 | Remove items from CIL | ||
758 | unlock CIL flush | ||
759 | write log vectors into log | ||
760 | sequence commit records | ||
761 | attach checkpoint context to log buffer | ||
762 | |||
763 | <log buffer IO dispatched> | ||
764 | <log buffer IO completes> | ||
765 | |||
766 | 8. Checkpoint completion | ||
767 | Mark log item committed | ||
768 | Insert item into AIL | ||
769 | Write commit LSN into log item | ||
770 | Unpin log item | ||
771 | 9. AIL traversal | ||
772 | Lock item | ||
773 | Mark log item clean | ||
774 | Flush item to disk | ||
775 | <item IO completion> | ||
776 | 10. Log item removed from AIL | ||
777 | Moves log tail | ||
778 | Item unlocked | ||
779 | |||
780 | From this, it can be seen that the only life cycle differences between the two | ||
781 | logging methods are in the middle of the life cycle - they still have the same | ||
782 | beginning and end and execution constraints. The only differences are in the | ||
783 | commiting of the log items to the log itself and the completion processing. | ||
784 | Hence delayed logging should not introduce any constraints on log item | ||
785 | behaviour, allocation or freeing that don't already exist. | ||
786 | |||
787 | As a result of this zero-impact "insertion" of delayed logging infrastructure | ||
788 | and the design of the internal structures to avoid on disk format changes, we | ||
789 | can basically switch between delayed logging and the existing mechanism with a | ||
790 | mount option. Fundamentally, there is no reason why the log manager would not | ||
791 | be able to swap methods automatically and transparently depending on load | ||
792 | characteristics, but this should not be necessary if delayed logging works as | ||
793 | designed. | ||
794 | |||
795 | Roadmap: | ||
796 | |||
797 | 2.6.37 Remove experimental tag from mount option | ||
798 | => should be roughly 6 months after initial merge | ||
799 | => enough time to: | ||
800 | => gain confidence and fix problems reported by early | ||
801 | adopters (a.k.a. guinea pigs) | ||
802 | => address worst performance regressions and undesired | ||
803 | behaviours | ||
804 | => start tuning/optimising code for parallelism | ||
805 | => start tuning/optimising algorithms consuming | ||
806 | excessive CPU time | ||
807 | |||
808 | 2.6.39 Switch default mount option to use delayed logging | ||
809 | => should be roughly 12 months after initial merge | ||
810 | => enough time to shake out remaining problems before next round of | ||
811 | enterprise distro kernel rebases | ||

15 | This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7411 chip. There may | ||

20 | converter which measures 1 temperature, vdd and 8 input voltages. It has an | ||
21 | internal temperature sensor, but an external one can also be connected (one | ||
22 | loses 2 inputs then). There are high- and low-limit registers for all inputs. | ||

13 | |||
14 | Description | ||
15 | ----------- | ||
16 | |||
17 | This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7473 chip family. | ||
18 | |||
19 | The ADT7473 uses the 2-wire interface compatible with the SMBUS 2.0 | ||
20 | specification. Using an analog to digital converter it measures three (3) | ||
21 | temperatures and two (2) voltages. It has four (4) 16-bit counters for | ||
22 | measuring fan speed. There are three (3) PWM outputs that can be used | ||
23 | to control fan speed. | ||
24 | |||
25 | A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the | ||
26 | ADT7473 that allows fan speed to be adjusted automatically based on any of the | ||
27 | three temperature sensors. Each PWM output is individually adjustable and | ||
28 | programmable. Once configured, the ADT7473 will adjust the PWM outputs in | ||
29 | response to the measured temperatures without further host intervention. | ||
30 | This feature can also be disabled for manual control of the PWM's. | ||
31 | |||
32 | Each of the measured inputs (voltage, temperature, fan speed) has | ||
33 | corresponding high/low limit values. The ADT7473 will signal an ALARM if | ||
34 | any measured value exceeds either limit. | ||
35 | |||
36 | The ADT7473 samples all inputs continuously. The driver will not read | ||
37 | the registers more often than once every other second. Further, | ||
38 | configuration data is only read once per minute. | ||
39 | |||
40 | Special Features | ||
41 | ---------------- | ||
42 | |||
43 | The ADT7473 have a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure temperatures | ||
44 | with 0.25 degC resolution. Temperature readings can be configured either | ||
45 | for twos complement format or "Offset 64" format, wherein 63 is subtracted | ||
46 | from the raw value to get the temperature value. | ||
47 | |||
48 | The Analog Devices datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for | ||
49 | determining an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control. | ||
50 | |||
51 | Configuration Notes | ||
52 | ------------------- | ||
53 | |||
54 | Besides standard interfaces driver adds the following: | ||
55 | |||
56 | * PWM Control | ||
57 | |||
58 | * pwm#_auto_point1_pwm and temp#_auto_point1_temp and | ||
59 | * pwm#_auto_point2_pwm and temp#_auto_point2_temp - | ||
60 | |||
61 | point1: Set the pwm speed at a lower temperature bound. | ||
62 | point2: Set the pwm speed at a higher temperature bound. | ||
63 | |||
64 | The ADT7473 will scale the pwm between the lower and higher pwm speed when | ||
65 | the temperature is between the two temperature boundaries. PWM values range | ||
66 | from 0 (off) to 255 (full speed). Fan speed will be set to maximum when the | ||
67 | temperature sensor associated with the PWM control exceeds temp#_max. | ||
68 | |||
69 | Notes | ||
70 | ----- | ||
71 | |||
72 | The NVIDIA binary driver presents an ADT7473 chip via an on-card i2c bus. | ||
73 | Unfortunately, they fail to set the i2c adapter class, so this driver may | ||
74 | fail to find the chip until the nvidia driver is patched. | ||

12 | |||
13 | Description provided by Dave Pivin @ Andigilog: | ||
14 | |||
15 | Andigilog has both the PECI and pre-PECI versions of the Heceta-6, as | ||
16 | Intel calls them. Heceta-6e has high frequency PWM and Heceta-6p has | ||
17 | added PECI and a 4th thermal zone. The Andigilog aSC7611 is the | ||
18 | Heceta-6e part and aSC7621 is the Heceta-6p part. They are both in | ||
19 | volume production, shipping to Intel and their subs. | ||
20 | |||
21 | We have enhanced both parts relative to the governing Intel | ||
22 | specification. First enhancement is temperature reading resolution. We | ||
23 | have used registers below 20h for vendor-specific functions in addition | ||
24 | to those in the Intel-specified vendor range. | ||
25 | |||
26 | Our conversion process produces a result that is reported as two bytes. | ||
27 | The fan speed control uses this finer value to produce a "step-less" fan | ||
28 | PWM output. These two bytes are "read-locked" to guarantee that once a | ||
29 | high or low byte is read, the other byte is locked-in until after the | ||
30 | next read of any register. So to get an atomic reading, read high or low | ||
31 | byte, then the very next read should be the opposite byte. Our data | ||
32 | sheet says 10-bits of resolution, although you may find the lower bits | ||
33 | are active, they are not necessarily reliable or useful externally. We | ||
34 | chose not to mask them. | ||
35 | |||
36 | We employ significant filtering that is user tunable as described in the | ||
37 | data sheet. Our temperature reports and fan PWM outputs are very smooth | ||
38 | when compared to the competition, in addition to the higher resolution | ||
39 | temperature reports. The smoother PWM output does not require user | ||
40 | intervention. | ||
41 | |||
42 | We offer GPIO features on the former VID pins. These are open-drain | ||
43 | outputs or inputs and may be used as general purpose I/O or as alarm | ||
44 | outputs that are based on temperature limits. These are in 19h and 1Ah. | ||
45 | |||
46 | We offer flexible mapping of temperature readings to thermal zones. Any | ||
47 | temperature may be mapped to any zone, which has a default assignment | ||
48 | that follows Intel's specs. | ||
49 | |||
50 | Since there is a fan to zone assignment that allows for the "hotter" of | ||
51 | a set of zones to control the PWM of an individual fan, but there is no | ||
52 | indication to the user, we have added an indicator that shows which zone | ||
53 | is currently controlling the PWM for a given fan. This is in register | ||
54 | 00h. | ||
55 | |||
56 | Both remote diode temperature readings may be given an offset value such | ||
57 | that the reported reading as well as the temperature used to determine | ||
58 | PWM may be offset for system calibration purposes. | ||
59 | |||
60 | PECI Extended configuration allows for having more than two domains per | ||
61 | PECI address and also provides an enabling function for each PECI | ||
62 | address. One could use our flexible zone assignment to have a zone | ||
63 | assigned to up to 4 PECI addresses. This is not possible in the default | ||
64 | Intel configuration. This would be useful in multi-CPU systems with | ||
65 | individual fans on each that would benefit from individual fan control. | ||
66 | This is in register 0Eh. | ||
67 | |||
68 | The tachometer measurement system is flexible and able to adapt to many | ||
69 | fan types. We can also support pulse-stretched PWM so that 3-wire fans | ||
70 | may be used. These characteristics are in registers 04h to 07h. | ||
71 | |||
72 | Finally, we have added a tach disable function that turns off the tach | ||
73 | measurement system for individual tachs in order to save power. That is | ||
74 | in register 75h. | ||
75 | |||

77 | aSC7621 Product Description | ||
78 | |||
79 | The aSC7621 has a two wire digital interface compatible with SMBus 2.0. | ||
80 | Using a 10-bit ADC, the aSC7621 measures the temperature of two remote diode | ||
81 | connected transistors as well as its own die. Support for Platform | ||
82 | Environmental Control Interface (PECI) is included. | ||
83 | |||
84 | Using temperature information from these four zones, an automatic fan speed | ||
85 | control algorithm is employed to minimize acoustic impact while achieving | ||
86 | recommended CPU temperature under varying operational loads. | ||
87 | |||
88 | To set fan speed, the aSC7621 has three independent pulse width modulation | ||
89 | (PWM) outputs that are controlled by one, or a combination of three, | ||
90 | temperature zones. Both high- and low-frequency PWM ranges are supported. | ||
91 | |||
92 | The aSC7621 also includes a digital filter that can be invoked to smooth | ||
93 | temperature readings for better control of fan speed and minimum acoustic | ||
94 | impact. | ||

13 | Description | ||
14 | ----------- | ||
15 | |||
16 | The Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) EMC2103 chips | ||
17 | contain up to 4 temperature sensors and a single fan controller. | ||
18 | |||
19 | Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is | ||
20 | triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan | ||
21 | readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give | ||
22 | the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be | ||
23 | represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 1, the lowest | ||
24 | representable value is 480 RPM. | ||
25 | |||
26 | This driver supports RPM based control, to use this a fan target | ||
27 | should be written to fan1_target and pwm1_enable should be set to 3. | ||
28 | |||
29 | The 2103-2 and 2103-4 variants have a third temperature sensor, which can | ||
30 | be connected to two anti-parallel diodes. These values can be read | ||
31 | as temp3 and temp4. If only one diode is attached to this channel, temp4 | ||
32 | will show as "fault". The module parameter "apd=0" can be used to suppress | ||
33 | this 4th channel when anti-parallel diodes are not fitted. | ||

160 | Automatic fan speed control (old interface) | ||
161 | ------------------------------------------- | ||
162 | |||
163 | The driver supports the old interface to automatic fan speed control | ||
164 | which is implemented by IT8705F chips up to revision F and IT8712F | ||
165 | chips up to revision G. | ||
166 | |||
167 | This interface implements 4 temperature vs. PWM output trip points. | ||
168 | The PWM output of trip point 4 is always the maximum value (fan running | ||
169 | at full speed) while the PWM output of the other 3 trip points can be | ||
170 | freely chosen. The temperature of all 4 trip points can be freely chosen. | ||
171 | Additionally, trip point 1 has an hysteresis temperature attached, to | ||
172 | prevent fast switching between fan on and off. | ||
173 | |||
174 | The chip automatically computes the PWM output value based on the input | ||
175 | temperature, based on this simple rule: if the temperature value is | ||
176 | between trip point N and trip point N+1 then the PWM output value is | ||
177 | the one of trip point N. The automatic control mode is less flexible | ||
178 | than the manual control mode, but it reacts faster, is more robust and | ||
179 | doesn't use CPU cycles. | ||
180 | |||
181 | Trip points must be set properly before switching to automatic fan speed | ||
182 | control mode. The driver will perform basic integrity checks before | ||
183 | actually switching to automatic control mode. | ||

60 | Description | ||
61 | ----------- | ||
62 | |||
63 | This driver implements support for JEDEC JC 42.4 compliant temperature sensors. | ||
64 | The driver auto-detects the chips listed above, but can be manually instantiated | ||
65 | to support other JC 42.4 compliant chips. | ||
66 | |||
67 | Example: the following will load the driver for a generic JC 42.4 compliant | ||
68 | temperature sensor at address 0x18 on I2C bus #1: | ||
69 | |||
70 | # modprobe jc42 | ||
71 | # echo jc42 0x18 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device | ||
72 | |||
73 | A JC 42.4 compliant chip supports a single temperature sensor. Minimum, maximum, | ||
74 | and critical temperature can be configured. There are alarms for high, low, | ||
75 | and critical thresholds. | ||
76 | |||
77 | There is also an hysteresis to control the thresholds for resetting alarms. | ||
78 | Per JC 42.4 specification, the hysteresis threshold can be configured to 0, 1.5, | ||
79 | 3.0, and 6.0 degrees C. Configured hysteresis values will be rounded to those | ||
80 | limits. The chip supports only a single register to configure the hysteresis, | ||
81 | which applies to all limits. This register can be written by writing into | ||
82 | temp1_crit_hyst. Other hysteresis attributes are read-only. | ||

181 | |||
182 | The Analog Devices chips (ADM1032 and ADT7461) do not implement the SMBus | ||

88 | If you have NOT configured the driver to sample all GPIO pins as analog | ||
89 | voltages, then the in10_input and in11_input sysfs attributes will not be | ||

91 | ADC as an analog voltage, and report the value in in9_input. | ||
92 | |||
93 | If you have configured the driver to sample all GPIO pins as analog voltages, | ||
94 | then they will be sampled in round-robin fashion. If userspace reads too | ||
95 | slowly, -EAGAIN will be returned when you read the sysfs attribute containing | ||
96 | the sensor reading. | ||
97 | |||
98 | The LTC4245 chip can be configured to sample all GPIO pins with two methods: | ||

100 | 2) OF device tree -- add the "ltc4245,use-extra-gpios" property to each chip | ||
101 | |||
102 | The default mode of operation is to sample a single GPIO pin. | ||

15 | |||
16 | This driver permits reading package level temperature sensor embedded inside | ||
17 | Intel CPU package. The sensors can be in core, uncore, memory controller, or | ||
18 | other components in a package. The feature is first implemented in Intel Sandy | ||
19 | Bridge platform. | ||
20 | |||
21 | Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is | ||
22 | 1 degree C. Valid temperatures are from 0 to TjMax degrees C, because the actual | ||
23 | value of temperature register is in fact a delta from TjMax. | ||
24 | |||
25 | Temperature known as TjMax is the maximum junction temperature of package. | ||
26 | We get this from MSR_IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET. If the MSR is not accessible, | ||
27 | we define TjMax as 100 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, protection | ||
28 | mechanism will perform actions to forcibly cool down the package. Alarm | ||
29 | may be raised, if the temperature grows enough (more than TjMax) to trigger | ||
30 | the Out-Of-Spec bit. Following table summarizes the exported sysfs files: | ||
31 | |||
32 | temp1_input - Package temperature (in millidegrees Celsius). | ||
33 | temp1_max - All cooling devices should be turned on. | ||
34 | temp1_crit - Maximum junction temperature (in millidegrees Celsius). | ||
35 | temp1_crit_alarm - Set when Out-of-spec bit is set, never clears. | ||

44 | Description | ||
45 | ----------- | ||
46 | |||
47 | [From datasheet] The SMM665 is an Active DC Output power supply Controller | ||
48 | that monitors, margins and cascade sequences power. The part monitors six | ||
49 | power supply channels as well as VDD, 12V input, two general-purpose analog | ||
50 | inputs and an internal temperature sensor using a 10-bit ADC. | ||
51 | |||
52 | Each monitored channel has its own high and low limits, plus a critical | ||
53 | limit. | ||
54 | |||
55 | Support for SMM465, SMM764, and SMM766 has been implemented but is untested. | ||
56 | |||
57 | |||
58 | Usage Notes | ||
59 | ----------- | ||
60 | |||
61 | This driver does not probe for devices, since there is no register which | ||
62 | can be safely used to identify the chip. You will have to instantiate | ||
63 | the devices explicitly. When instantiating the device, you have to specify | ||
64 | its configuration register address. | ||
65 | |||
66 | Example: the following will load the driver for an SMM665 at address 0x57 | ||
67 | on I2C bus #1: | ||
68 | $ modprobe smm665 | ||
69 | $ echo smm665 0x57 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device | ||
70 | |||
71 | |||
72 | Sysfs entries | ||
73 | ------------- | ||
74 | |||
75 | This driver uses the values in the datasheet to convert ADC register values | ||
76 | into the values specified in the sysfs-interface document. All attributes are | ||
77 | read only. | ||
78 | |||
79 | Min, max, lcrit, and crit values are used by the chip to trigger external signals | ||
80 | and/or other activity. Triggered signals can include HEALTHY, RST, Power Off, | ||
81 | or Fault depending on the chip configuration. The driver reports values as lcrit | ||
82 | or crit if exceeding the limits triggers RST, Power Off, or Fault, and as min or | ||
83 | max otherwise. For details please see the SMM665 datasheet. | ||
84 | |||
85 | For SMM465 and SMM764, values for Channel E and F are reported but undefined. | ||

14 | ----------- | ||
15 | |||
16 | The Texas Instruments TMP102 implements one temperature sensor. Limits can be | ||
17 | set through the Overtemperature Shutdown register and Hysteresis register. The | ||
18 | sensor is accurate to 0.5 degree over the range of -25 to +85 C, and to 1.0 | ||
19 | degree from -40 to +125 C. Resolution of the sensor is 0.0625 degree. The | ||
20 | operating temperature has a minimum of -55 C and a maximum of +150 C. | ||
21 | |||
22 | The TMP102 has a programmable update rate that can select between 8, 4, 1, and | ||
23 | 0.5 Hz. (Currently the driver only supports the default of 4 Hz). | ||
24 | |||
25 | The driver provides the common sysfs-interface for temperatures (see | ||
26 | Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface under Temperatures). | ||

188 | SMBus Alert | ||
189 | =========== | ||
190 | |||
191 | SMBus Alert was introduced in Revision 1.0 of the specification. | ||
192 | |||
193 | The SMBus alert protocol allows several SMBus slave devices to share a | ||
194 | single interrupt pin on the SMBus master, while still allowing the master | ||
195 | to know which slave triggered the interrupt. | ||
196 | |||
197 | This is implemented the following way in the Linux kernel: | ||
198 | * I2C bus drivers which support SMBus alert should call | ||
199 | i2c_setup_smbus_alert() to setup SMBus alert support. | ||
200 | * I2C drivers for devices which can trigger SMBus alerts should implement | ||
201 | the optional alert() callback. | ||

1 | Explaining the dreaded "No init found." boot hang message | ||
2 | ========================================================= | ||
3 | |||
4 | OK, so you've got this pretty unintuitive message (currently located | ||
5 | in init/main.c) and are wondering what the H*** went wrong. | ||
6 | Some high-level reasons for failure (listed roughly in order of execution) | ||
7 | to load the init binary are: | ||
8 | A) Unable to mount root FS | ||
9 | B) init binary doesn't exist on rootfs | ||
10 | C) broken console device | ||
11 | D) binary exists but dependencies not available | ||
12 | E) binary cannot be loaded | ||
13 | |||
14 | Detailed explanations: | ||
15 | 0) Set "debug" kernel parameter (in bootloader config file or CONFIG_CMDLINE) | ||
16 | to get more detailed kernel messages. | ||
17 | A) make sure you have the correct root FS type | ||
18 | (and root= kernel parameter points to the correct partition), | ||
19 | required drivers such as storage hardware (such as SCSI or USB!) | ||
20 | and filesystem (ext3, jffs2 etc.) are builtin (alternatively as modules, | ||
21 | to be pre-loaded by an initrd) | ||
22 | C) Possibly a conflict in console= setup --> initial console unavailable. | ||
23 | E.g. some serial consoles are unreliable due to serial IRQ issues (e.g. | ||
24 | missing interrupt-based configuration). | ||
25 | Try using a different console= device or e.g. netconsole= . | ||
26 | D) e.g. required library dependencies of the init binary such as | ||
27 | /lib/ld-linux.so.2 missing or broken. Use readelf -d <INIT>|grep NEEDED | ||
28 | to find out which libraries are required. | ||
29 | E) make sure the binary's architecture matches your hardware. | ||
30 | E.g. i386 vs. x86_64 mismatch, or trying to load x86 on ARM hardware. | ||
31 | In case you tried loading a non-binary file here (shell script?), | ||
32 | you should make sure that the script specifies an interpreter in its shebang | ||
33 | header line (#!/...) that is fully working (including its library | ||
34 | dependencies). And before tackling scripts, better first test a simple | ||
35 | non-script binary such as /bin/sh and confirm its successful execution. | ||
36 | To find out more, add code to init/main.c to display kernel_execve()s | ||
37 | return values. | ||
38 | |||
39 | Please extend this explanation whenever you find new failure causes | ||
40 | (after all loading the init binary is a CRITICAL and hard transition step | ||
41 | which needs to be made as painless as possible), then submit patch to LKML. | ||
42 | Further TODOs: | ||
43 | - Implement the various run_init_process() invocations via a struct array | ||
44 | which can then store the kernel_execve() result value and on failure | ||
45 | log it all by iterating over _all_ results (very important usability fix). | ||
46 | - try to make the implementation itself more helpful in general, | ||
47 | e.g. by providing additional error messages at affected places. | ||

13 | drivers to report details for an arbitrary number of contacts. | ||
14 | |||
15 | The protocol is divided into two types, depending on the capabilities of the | ||
16 | hardware. For devices handling anonymous contacts (type A), the protocol | ||
17 | describes how to send the raw data for all contacts to the receiver. For | ||
18 | devices capable of tracking identifiable contacts (type B), the protocol | ||
19 | describes how to send updates for individual contacts via event slots. | ||
20 | |||
21 | |||
22 | Protocol Usage | ||
23 | -------------- | ||
24 | |||
25 | Contact details are sent sequentially as separate packets of ABS_MT | ||
26 | events. Only the ABS_MT events are recognized as part of a contact | ||
27 | packet. Since these events are ignored by current single-touch (ST) | ||
28 | applications, the MT protocol can be implemented on top of the ST protocol | ||
29 | in an existing driver. | ||
30 | |||
31 | Drivers for type A devices separate contact packets by calling | ||
32 | input_mt_sync() at the end of each packet. This generates a SYN_MT_REPORT | ||
33 | event, which instructs the receiver to accept the data for the current | ||
34 | contact and prepare to receive another. | ||
35 | |||
36 | Drivers for type B devices separate contact packets by calling | ||
37 | input_mt_slot(), with a slot as argument, at the beginning of each packet. | ||
38 | This generates an ABS_MT_SLOT event, which instructs the receiver to | ||
39 | prepare for updates of the given slot. | ||
40 | |||
41 | All drivers mark the end of a multi-touch transfer by calling the usual | ||
42 | input_sync() function. This instructs the receiver to act upon events | ||
43 | accumulated since last EV_SYN/SYN_REPORT and prepare to receive a new set | ||
44 | of events/packets. | ||
45 | |||
46 | The main difference between the stateless type A protocol and the stateful | ||
47 | type B slot protocol lies in the usage of identifiable contacts to reduce | ||
48 | the amount of data sent to userspace. The slot protocol requires the use of | ||
49 | the ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID, either provided by the hardware or computed from | ||
50 | the raw data [5]. | ||
51 | |||
52 | For type A devices, the kernel driver should generate an arbitrary | ||
53 | enumeration of the full set of anonymous contacts currently on the | ||
54 | surface. The order in which the packets appear in the event stream is not | ||
55 | important. Event filtering and finger tracking is left to user space [3]. | ||
56 | |||
57 | For type B devices, the kernel driver should associate a slot with each | ||
58 | identified contact, and use that slot to propagate changes for the contact. | ||
59 | Creation, replacement and destruction of contacts is achieved by modifying | ||
60 | the ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID of the associated slot. A non-negative tracking id | ||
61 | is interpreted as a contact, and the value -1 denotes an unused slot. A | ||
62 | tracking id not previously present is considered new, and a tracking id no | ||
63 | longer present is considered removed. Since only changes are propagated, | ||
64 | the full state of each initiated contact has to reside in the receiving | ||
65 | end. Upon receiving an MT event, one simply updates the appropriate | ||
66 | attribute of the current slot. | ||
67 | |||
68 | |||
69 | Protocol Example A | ||
70 | ------------------ | ||
71 | |||
72 | Here is what a minimal event sequence for a two-contact touch would look | ||
73 | like for a type A device: | ||
74 | |||
75 | ABS_MT_POSITION_X x[0] | ||
76 | ABS_MT_POSITION_Y y[0] | ||
77 | SYN_MT_REPORT | ||
78 | ABS_MT_POSITION_X x[1] | ||
79 | ABS_MT_POSITION_Y y[1] | ||
80 | SYN_MT_REPORT | ||
81 | SYN_REPORT | ||
13 | 82 | ||
83 | The sequence after moving one of the contacts looks exactly the same; the | ||
84 | raw data for all present contacts are sent between every synchronization | ||
85 | with SYN_REPORT. | ||
14 | 86 | ||
15 | Usage | 87 | Here is the sequence after lifting the first contact: |
16 | ----- | ||
17 | 88 | ||
18 | Anonymous finger details are sent sequentially as separate packets of ABS | 89 | ABS_MT_POSITION_X x[1] |
19 | events. Only the ABS_MT events are recognized as part of a finger | 90 | ABS_MT_POSITION_Y y[1] |
20 | packet. The end of a packet is marked by calling the input_mt_sync() | 91 | SYN_MT_REPORT |
21 | function, which generates a SYN_MT_REPORT event. This instructs the | 92 | SYN_REPORT |
22 | receiver to accept the data for the current finger and prepare to receive | 93 | |
23 | another. The end of a multi-touch transfer is marked by calling the usual | 94 | And here is the sequence after lifting the second contact: |
24 | input_sync() function. This instructs the receiver to act upon events | 95 | |
25 | accumulated since last EV_SYN/SYN_REPORT and prepare to receive a new | 96 | SYN_MT_REPORT |
26 | set of events/packets. | 97 | SYN_REPORT |
98 | |||
99 | If the driver reports one of BTN_TOUCH or ABS_PRESSURE in addition to the | ||
100 | ABS_MT events, the last SYN_MT_REPORT event may be omitted. Otherwise, the | ||
101 | last SYN_REPORT will be dropped by the input core, resulting in no | ||
102 | zero-contact event reaching userland. | ||
103 | |||
104 | |||
105 | Protocol Example B | ||
106 | ------------------ | ||
107 | |||
108 | Here is what a minimal event sequence for a two-contact touch would look | ||
109 | like for a type B device: | ||

116 | ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID 46 | ||
117 | ABS_MT_POSITION_X x[1] | ||
118 | ABS_MT_POSITION_Y y[1] | ||
119 | SYN_REPORT | ||
120 | |||
121 | Here is the sequence after moving contact 45 in the x direction: | ||
122 | |||
123 | ABS_MT_SLOT 0 | ||
124 | ABS_MT_POSITION_X x[0] | ||
125 | SYN_REPORT | ||
126 | |||
127 | Here is the sequence after lifting the contact in slot 0: | ||
128 | |||
129 | ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID -1 | ||
130 | SYN_REPORT | ||
131 | |||
132 | The slot being modified is already 0, so the ABS_MT_SLOT is omitted. The | ||
133 | message removes the association of slot 0 with contact 45, thereby | ||
134 | destroying contact 45 and freeing slot 0 to be reused for another contact. | ||
135 | |||

273 | --------------- | ||
274 | The called party number provided by an application for dialing out must | ||
275 | be a public network number according to the local dialing plan, without | ||
276 | any dial prefix for getting an outside line. | ||
277 | |||
278 | Internal calls can be made by providing an internal extension number | ||
279 | prefixed with "**" (two asterisks) as the called party number. So to dial | ||
280 | eg. the first registered DECT handset, give "**11" as the called party | ||
281 | number. Dialing "***" (three asterisks) calls all extensions | ||
282 | simultaneously (global call). | ||
283 | |||
284 | This holds for both CAPI 2.0 and ISDN4Linux applications. Unimodem mode | ||
285 | does not support internal calls. | ||

87 | * "type" is the type of the containing structure, and | ||
88 | * "member" is the name of the structure field to which "pointer" points. | ||
89 | |||
90 | The return value from container_of() is a pointer to the corresponding | ||
91 | container type. So, for example, a pointer "kp" to a struct kobject | ||

97 | For convenience, programmers often define a simple macro for "back-casting" | ||

83 | the containing structure, and member is the name of the structure field to | ||
84 | which pointer points. The return value from container_of() is a pointer to | ||
85 | the given type. So, for example, a pointer "kp" to a struct kobject | ||
86 | embedded within a struct uio_mem could be converted to a pointer to the | ||

88 | 107 | ||

166 | 1.4 How Does Jump Optimization Work? | ||
167 | |||
168 | If your kernel is built with CONFIG_OPTPROBES=y (currently this flag | ||
169 | is automatically set 'y' on x86/x86-64, non-preemptive kernel) and | ||
170 | the "debug.kprobes_optimization" kernel parameter is set to 1 (see | ||
171 | sysctl(8)), Kprobes tries to reduce probe-hit overhead by using a jump | ||
172 | instruction instead of a breakpoint instruction at each probepoint. | ||
173 | |||
174 | 1.4.1 Init a Kprobe | ||
175 | |||
176 | When a probe is registered, before attempting this optimization, | ||
177 | Kprobes inserts an ordinary, breakpoint-based kprobe at the specified | ||
178 | address. So, even if it's not possible to optimize this particular | ||
179 | probepoint, there'll be a probe there. | ||
180 | |||
181 | 1.4.2 Safety Check | ||
182 | |||
183 | Before optimizing a probe, Kprobes performs the following safety checks: | ||
184 | |||
185 | - Kprobes verifies that the region that will be replaced by the jump | ||
186 | instruction (the "optimized region") lies entirely within one function. | ||
187 | (A jump instruction is multiple bytes, and so may overlay multiple | ||
188 | instructions.) | ||
189 | |||
190 | - Kprobes analyzes the entire function and verifies that there is no | ||
191 | jump into the optimized region. Specifically: | ||
192 | - the function contains no indirect jump; | ||
193 | - the function contains no instruction that causes an exception (since | ||
194 | the fixup code triggered by the exception could jump back into the | ||
195 | optimized region -- Kprobes checks the exception tables to verify this); | ||
196 | and | ||
197 | - there is no near jump to the optimized region (other than to the first | ||
198 | byte). | ||
199 | |||
200 | - For each instruction in the optimized region, Kprobes verifies that | ||
201 | the instruction can be executed out of line. | ||
202 | |||
203 | 1.4.3 Preparing Detour Buffer | ||
204 | |||
205 | Next, Kprobes prepares a "detour" buffer, which contains the following | ||
206 | instruction sequence: | ||
207 | - code to push the CPU's registers (emulating a breakpoint trap) | ||
208 | - a call to the trampoline code which calls user's probe handlers. | ||
209 | - code to restore registers | ||
210 | - the instructions from the optimized region | ||
211 | - a jump back to the original execution path. | ||
212 | |||
213 | 1.4.4 Pre-optimization | ||
214 | |||
215 | After preparing the detour buffer, Kprobes verifies that none of the | ||
216 | following situations exist: | ||
217 | - The probe has either a break_handler (i.e., it's a jprobe) or a | ||
218 | post_handler. | ||
219 | - Other instructions in the optimized region are probed. | ||
220 | - The probe is disabled. | ||
221 | In any of the above cases, Kprobes won't start optimizing the probe. | ||
222 | Since these are temporary situations, Kprobes tries to start | ||
223 | optimizing it again if the situation is changed. | ||
224 | |||
225 | If the kprobe can be optimized, Kprobes enqueues the kprobe to an | ||
226 | optimizing list, and kicks the kprobe-optimizer workqueue to optimize | ||
227 | it. If the to-be-optimized probepoint is hit before being optimized, | ||
228 | Kprobes returns control to the original instruction path by setting | ||
229 | the CPU's instruction pointer to the copied code in the detour buffer | ||
230 | -- thus at least avoiding the single-step. | ||
231 | |||
232 | 1.4.5 Optimization | ||
233 | |||
234 | The Kprobe-optimizer doesn't insert the jump instruction immediately; | ||
235 | rather, it calls synchronize_sched() for safety first, because it's | ||
236 | possible for a CPU to be interrupted in the middle of executing the | ||
237 | optimized region(*). As you know, synchronize_sched() can ensure | ||
238 | that all interruptions that were active when synchronize_sched() | ||
239 | was called are done, but only if CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. So, this version | ||
240 | of kprobe optimization supports only kernels with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n.(**) | ||
241 | |||
242 | After that, the Kprobe-optimizer calls stop_machine() to replace | ||
243 | the optimized region with a jump instruction to the detour buffer, | ||
244 | using text_poke_smp(). | ||
245 | |||
246 | 1.4.6 Unoptimization | ||
247 | |||
248 | When an optimized kprobe is unregistered, disabled, or blocked by | ||
249 | another kprobe, it will be unoptimized. If this happens before | ||
250 | the optimization is complete, the kprobe is just dequeued from the | ||
251 | optimized list. If the optimization has been done, the jump is | ||
252 | replaced with the original code (except for an int3 breakpoint in | ||
253 | the first byte) by using text_poke_smp(). | ||
254 | |||
255 | (*)Please imagine that the 2nd instruction is interrupted and then | ||
256 | the optimizer replaces the 2nd instruction with the jump *address* | ||
257 | while the interrupt handler is running. When the interrupt | ||
258 | returns to original address, there is no valid instruction, | ||
259 | and it causes an unexpected result. | ||
260 | |||
261 | (**)This optimization-safety checking may be replaced with the | ||
262 | stop-machine method that ksplice uses for supporting a CONFIG_PREEMPT=y | ||
263 | kernel. | ||
264 | |||
265 | NOTE for geeks: | ||
266 | The jump optimization changes the kprobe's pre_handler behavior. | ||
267 | Without optimization, the pre_handler can change the kernel's execution | ||
268 | path by changing regs->ip and returning 1. However, when the probe | ||
269 | is optimized, that modification is ignored. Thus, if you want to | ||
270 | tweak the kernel's execution path, you need to suppress optimization, | ||
271 | using one of the following techniques: | ||
272 | - Specify an empty function for the kprobe's post_handler or break_handler. | ||
273 | or | ||
274 | - Execute 'sysctl -w debug.kprobes_optimization=n' | ||

743 | This ioctl allows the user to create or modify a guest physical memory | ||

745 | physical memory space, or its flags may be modified. It may not be | ||
746 | resized. Slots may not overlap in guest physical address space. | ||
747 | |||
748 | Memory for the region is taken starting at the address denoted by the | ||
749 | field userspace_addr, which must point at user addressable memory for | ||
750 | the entire memory slot size. Any object may back this memory, including | ||
751 | anonymous memory, ordinary files, and hugetlbfs. | ||
752 | |||
753 | It is recommended that the lower 21 bits of guest_phys_addr and userspace_addr | ||
754 | be identical. This allows large pages in the guest to be backed by large | ||
755 | pages in the host. | ||
756 | |||
757 | The flags field supports just one flag, KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES, which | ||
758 | instructs kvm to keep track of writes to memory within the slot. See | ||

1000 | This ioctl returns x86 cpuid features which are supported by both the hardware | ||
1001 | and kvm. Userspace can use the information returned by this ioctl to | ||
1002 | construct cpuid information (for KVM_SET_CPUID2) that is consistent with | ||
1003 | hardware, kernel, and userspace capabilities, and with user requirements (for | ||
1004 | example, the user may wish to constrain cpuid to emulate older hardware, | ||
1005 | or for feature consistency across a cluster). | ||
1006 | |||
1007 | Userspace invokes KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID by passing a kvm_cpuid2 structure | ||
1008 | with the 'nent' field indicating the number of entries in the variable-size | ||
1009 | array 'entries'. If the number of entries is too low to describe the cpu | ||
1010 | capabilities, an error (E2BIG) is returned. If the number is too high, | ||
1011 | the 'nent' field is adjusted and an error (ENOMEM) is returned. If the | ||
1012 | number is just right, the 'nent' field is adjusted to the number of valid | ||
1013 | entries in the 'entries' array, which is then filled. | ||
1014 | |||
1015 | The entries returned are the host cpuid as returned by the cpuid instruction, | ||
1016 | with unknown or unsupported features masked out. The fields in each entry | ||
1017 | are defined as follows: | ||

1019 | function: the eax value used to obtain the entry | ||
1020 | index: the ecx value used to obtain the entry (for entries that are | ||
1021 | affected by ecx) | ||
1022 | flags: an OR of zero or more of the following: | ||

1 | The x86 kvm shadow mmu | ||
2 | ====================== | ||
3 | |||
4 | The mmu (in arch/x86/kvm, files mmu.[ch] and paging_tmpl.h) is responsible | ||
5 | for presenting a standard x86 mmu to the guest, while translating guest | ||
6 | physical addresses to host physical addresses. | ||
7 | |||
8 | The mmu code attempts to satisfy the following requirements: | ||
9 | |||
10 | - correctness: the guest should not be able to determine that it is running | ||
11 | on an emulated mmu except for timing (we attempt to comply | ||
12 | with the specification, not emulate the characteristics of | ||
13 | a particular implementation such as tlb size) | ||
14 | - security: the guest must not be able to touch host memory not assigned | ||
15 | to it | ||
16 | - performance: minimize the performance penalty imposed by the mmu | ||
17 | - scaling: need to scale to large memory and large vcpu guests | ||
18 | - hardware: support the full range of x86 virtualization hardware | ||
19 | - integration: Linux memory management code must be in control of guest memory | ||
20 | so that swapping, page migration, page merging, transparent | ||
21 | hugepages, and similar features work without change | ||
22 | - dirty tracking: report writes to guest memory to enable live migration | ||
23 | and framebuffer-based displays | ||
24 | - footprint: keep the amount of pinned kernel memory low (most memory | ||
25 | should be shrinkable) | ||
26 | - reliablity: avoid multipage or GFP_ATOMIC allocations | ||

45 | Virtual and real hardware supported | ||
46 | =================================== | ||
47 | |||
48 | The mmu supports first-generation mmu hardware, which allows an atomic switch | ||
49 | of the current paging mode and cr3 during guest entry, as well as | ||
50 | two-dimensional paging (AMD's NPT and Intel's EPT). The emulated hardware | ||
51 | it exposes is the traditional 2/3/4 level x86 mmu, with support for global | ||
52 | pages, pae, pse, pse36, cr0.wp, and 1GB pages. Work is in progress to support | ||
53 | exposing NPT capable hardware on NPT capable hosts. | ||
54 | |||
55 | Translation | ||
56 | =========== | ||
57 | |||
58 | The primary job of the mmu is to program the processor's mmu to translate | ||
59 | addresses for the guest. Different translations are required at different | ||
60 | times: | ||
61 | |||
62 | - when guest paging is disabled, we translate guest physical addresses to | ||
63 | host physical addresses (gpa->hpa) | ||
64 | - when guest paging is enabled, we translate guest virtual addresses, to | ||
65 | guest physical addresses, to host physical addresses (gva->gpa->hpa) | ||
66 | - when the guest launches a guest of its own, we translate nested guest | ||
67 | virtual addresses, to nested guest physical addresses, to guest physical | ||
68 | addresses, to host physical addresses (ngva->ngpa->gpa->hpa) | ||
69 | |||
70 | The primary challenge is to encode between 1 and 3 translations into hardware | ||
71 | that support only 1 (traditional) and 2 (tdp) translations. When the | ||
72 | number of required translations matches the hardware, the mmu operates in | ||
73 | direct mode; otherwise it operates in shadow mode (see below). | ||
74 | |||
75 | Memory | ||
76 | ====== | ||
77 | |||
78 | Guest memory (gpa) is part of the user address space of the process that is | ||
79 | using kvm. Userspace defines the translation between guest addresses and user | ||
80 | addresses (gpa->hva); note that two gpas may alias to the same hva, but not | ||
81 | vice versa. | ||
82 | |||
83 | These hvas may be backed using any method available to the host: anonymous | ||
84 | memory, file backed memory, and device memory. Memory might be paged by the | ||
85 | host at any time. | ||
86 | |||
87 | Events | ||
88 | ====== | ||
89 | |||
90 | The mmu is driven by events, some from the guest, some from the host. | ||
91 | |||
92 | Guest generated events: | ||
93 | - writes to control registers (especially cr3) | ||
94 | - invlpg/invlpga instruction execution | ||
95 | - access to missing or protected translations | ||
96 | |||
97 | Host generated events: | ||
98 | - changes in the gpa->hpa translation (either through gpa->hva changes or | ||
99 | through hva->hpa changes) | ||
100 | - memory pressure (the shrinker) | ||
101 | |||
102 | Shadow pages | ||
103 | ============ | ||
104 | |||
105 | The principal data structure is the shadow page, 'struct kvm_mmu_page'. A | ||
106 | shadow page contains 512 sptes, which can be either leaf or nonleaf sptes. A | ||
107 | shadow page may contain a mix of leaf and nonleaf sptes. | ||
108 | |||
109 | A nonleaf spte allows the hardware mmu to reach the leaf pages and | ||
110 | is not related to a translation directly. It points to other shadow pages. | ||
111 | |||
112 | A leaf spte corresponds to either one or two translations encoded into | ||
113 | one paging structure entry. These are always the lowest level of the | ||
114 | translation stack, with optional higher level translations left to NPT/EPT. | ||
115 | Leaf ptes point at guest pages. | ||
116 | |||
117 | The following table shows translations encoded by leaf ptes, with higher-level | ||
118 | translations in parentheses: | ||
119 | |||
120 | Non-nested guests: | ||
121 | nonpaging: gpa->hpa | ||
122 | paging: gva->gpa->hpa | ||
123 | paging, tdp: (gva->)gpa->hpa | ||
124 | Nested guests: | ||
125 | non-tdp: ngva->gpa->hpa (*) | ||
126 | tdp: (ngva->)ngpa->gpa->hpa | ||
127 | |||
128 | (*) the guest hypervisor will encode the ngva->gpa translation into its page | ||
129 | tables if npt is not present | ||
130 | |||
131 | Shadow pages contain the following information: | ||
132 | role.level: | ||
133 | The level in the shadow paging hierarchy that this shadow page belongs to. | ||
134 | 1=4k sptes, 2=2M sptes, 3=1G sptes, etc. | ||
135 | role.direct: | ||
136 | If set, leaf sptes reachable from this page are for a linear range. | ||
137 | Examples include real mode translation, large guest pages backed by small | ||
138 | host pages, and gpa->hpa translations when NPT or EPT is active. | ||
139 | The linear range starts at (gfn << PAGE_SHIFT) and its size is determined | ||
140 | by role.level (2MB for first level, 1GB for second level, 0.5TB for third | ||
141 | level, 256TB for fourth level) | ||
142 | If clear, this page corresponds to a guest page table denoted by the gfn | ||
143 | field. | ||
144 | role.quadrant: | ||
145 | When role.cr4_pae=0, the guest uses 32-bit gptes while the host uses 64-bit | ||
146 | sptes. That means a guest page table contains more ptes than the host, | ||
147 | so multiple shadow pages are needed to shadow one guest page. | ||
148 | For first-level shadow pages, role.quadrant can be 0 or 1 and denotes the | ||
149 | first or second 512-gpte block in the guest page table. For second-level | ||
150 | page tables, each 32-bit gpte is converted to two 64-bit sptes | ||
151 | (since each first-level guest page is shadowed by two first-level | ||
152 | shadow pages) so role.quadrant takes values in the range 0..3. Each | ||
153 | quadrant maps 1GB virtual address space. | ||
154 | role.access: | ||
155 | Inherited guest access permissions in the form uwx. Note execute | ||
156 | permission is positive, not negative. | ||
157 | role.invalid: | ||
158 | The page is invalid and should not be used. It is a root page that is | ||
159 | currently pinned (by a cpu hardware register pointing to it); once it is | ||
160 | unpinned it will be destroyed. | ||
161 | role.cr4_pae: | ||
162 | Contains the value of cr4.pae for which the page is valid (e.g. whether | ||
163 | 32-bit or 64-bit gptes are in use). | ||
164 | role.nxe: | ||
165 | Contains the value of efer.nxe for which the page is valid. | ||
166 | role.cr0_wp: | ||
167 | Contains the value of cr0.wp for which the page is valid. | ||
168 | gfn: | ||
169 | Either the guest page table containing the translations shadowed by this | ||
170 | page, or the base page frame for linear translations. See role.direct. | ||
171 | spt: | ||
172 | A pageful of 64-bit sptes containing the translations for this page. | ||
173 | Accessed by both kvm and hardware. | ||
174 | The page pointed to by spt will have its page->private pointing back | ||
175 | at the shadow page structure. | ||
176 | sptes in spt point either at guest pages, or at lower-level shadow pages. | ||
177 | Specifically, if sp1 and sp2 are shadow pages, then sp1->spt[n] may point | ||
178 | at __pa(sp2->spt). sp2 will point back at sp1 through parent_pte. | ||
179 | The spt array forms a DAG structure with the shadow page as a node, and | ||
180 | guest pages as leaves. | ||
181 | gfns: | ||
182 | An array of 512 guest frame numbers, one for each present pte. Used to | ||
183 | perform a reverse map from a pte to a gfn. When role.direct is set, any | ||
184 | element of this array can be calculated from the gfn field when used, in | ||
185 | this case, the array of gfns is not allocated. See role.direct and gfn. | ||
186 | slot_bitmap: | ||
187 | A bitmap containing one bit per memory slot. If the page contains a pte | ||
188 | mapping a page from memory slot n, then bit n of slot_bitmap will be set | ||
189 | (if a page is aliased among several slots, then it is not guaranteed that | ||
190 | all slots will be marked). | ||
191 | Used during dirty logging to avoid scanning a shadow page if none if its | ||
192 | pages need tracking. | ||
193 | root_count: | ||
194 | A counter keeping track of how many hardware registers (guest cr3 or | ||
195 | pdptrs) are now pointing at the page. While this counter is nonzero, the | ||
196 | page cannot be destroyed. See role.invalid. | ||
197 | multimapped: | ||
198 | Whether there exist multiple sptes pointing at this page. | ||
199 | parent_pte/parent_ptes: | ||
200 | If multimapped is zero, parent_pte points at the single spte that points at | ||
201 | this page's spt. Otherwise, parent_ptes points at a data structure | ||
202 | with a list of parent_ptes. | ||
203 | unsync: | ||
204 | If true, then the translations in this page may not match the guest's | ||
205 | translation. This is equivalent to the state of the tlb when a pte is | ||
206 | changed but before the tlb entry is flushed. Accordingly, unsync ptes | ||
207 | are synchronized when the guest executes invlpg or flushes its tlb by | ||
208 | other means. Valid for leaf pages. | ||
209 | unsync_children: | ||
210 | How many sptes in the page point at pages that are unsync (or have | ||
211 | unsynchronized children). | ||
212 | unsync_child_bitmap: | ||
213 | A bitmap indicating which sptes in spt point (directly or indirectly) at | ||
214 | pages that may be unsynchronized. Used to quickly locate all unsychronized | ||
215 | pages reachable from a given page. | ||
216 | |||
217 | Reverse map | ||
218 | =========== | ||
219 | |||
220 | The mmu maintains a reverse mapping whereby all ptes mapping a page can be | ||
221 | reached given its gfn. This is used, for example, when swapping out a page. | ||
222 | |||
223 | Synchronized and unsynchronized pages | ||
224 | ===================================== | ||
225 | |||
226 | The guest uses two events to synchronize its tlb and page tables: tlb flushes | ||
227 | and page invalidations (invlpg). | ||
228 | |||
229 | A tlb flush means that we need to synchronize all sptes reachable from the | ||
230 | guest's cr3. This is expensive, so we keep all guest page tables write | ||
231 | protected, and synchronize sptes to gptes when a gpte is written. | ||
232 | |||
233 | A special case is when a guest page table is reachable from the current | ||
234 | guest cr3. In this case, the guest is obliged to issue an invlpg instruction | ||
235 | before using the translation. We take advantage of that by removing write | ||
236 | protection from the guest page, and allowing the guest to modify it freely. | ||
237 | We synchronize modified gptes when the guest invokes invlpg. This reduces | ||
238 | the amount of emulation we have to do when the guest modifies multiple gptes, | ||
239 | or when the a guest page is no longer used as a page table and is used for | ||
240 | random guest data. | ||
241 | |||
242 | As a side effect we have to resynchronize all reachable unsynchronized shadow | ||
243 | pages on a tlb flush. | ||
244 | |||
245 | |||
246 | Reaction to events | ||
247 | ================== | ||
248 | |||
249 | - guest page fault (or npt page fault, or ept violation) | ||
250 | |||
251 | This is the most complicated event. The cause of a page fault can be: | ||
252 | |||
253 | - a true guest fault (the guest translation won't allow the access) (*) | ||
254 | - access to a missing translation | ||
255 | - access to a protected translation | ||
256 | - when logging dirty pages, memory is write protected | ||
257 | - synchronized shadow pages are write protected (*) | ||
258 | - access to untranslatable memory (mmio) | ||
259 | |||
260 | (*) not applicable in direct mode | ||
261 | |||
262 | Handling a page fault is performed as follows: | ||
263 | |||
264 | - if needed, walk the guest page tables to determine the guest translation | ||
265 | (gva->gpa or ngpa->gpa) | ||
266 | - if permissions are insufficient, reflect the fault back to the guest | ||
267 | - determine the host page | ||
268 | - if this is an mmio request, there is no host page; call the emulator | ||
269 | to emulate the instruction instead | ||
270 | - walk the shadow page table to find the spte for the translation, | ||
271 | instantiating missing intermediate page tables as necessary | ||
272 | - try to unsynchronize the page | ||
273 | - if successful, we can let the guest continue and modify the gpte | ||
274 | - emulate the instruction | ||
275 | - if failed, unshadow the page and let the guest continue | ||
276 | - update any translations that were modified by the instruction | ||
277 | |||
278 | invlpg handling: | ||
279 | |||
280 | - walk the shadow page hierarchy and drop affected translations | ||
281 | - try to reinstantiate the indicated translation in the hope that the | ||
282 | guest will use it in the near future | ||
283 | |||
284 | Guest control register updates: | ||
285 | |||
286 | - mov to cr3 | ||
287 | - look up new shadow roots | ||
288 | - synchronize newly reachable shadow pages | ||
289 | |||
290 | - mov to cr0/cr4/efer | ||
291 | - set up mmu context for new paging mode | ||
292 | - look up new shadow roots | ||
293 | - synchronize newly reachable shadow pages | ||
294 | |||
295 | Host translation updates: | ||
296 | |||
297 | - mmu notifier called with updated hva | ||
298 | - look up affected sptes through reverse map | ||
299 | - drop (or update) translations | ||
300 | |||
301 | Emulating cr0.wp | ||
302 | ================ | ||
303 | |||
304 | If tdp is not enabled, the host must keep cr0.wp=1 so page write protection | ||
305 | works for the guest kernel, not guest guest userspace. When the guest | ||
306 | cr0.wp=1, this does not present a problem. However when the guest cr0.wp=0, | ||
307 | we cannot map the permissions for gpte.u=1, gpte.w=0 to any spte (the | ||
308 | semantics require allowing any guest kernel access plus user read access). | ||
309 | |||
310 | We handle this by mapping the permissions to two possible sptes, depending | ||
311 | on fault type: | ||
312 | |||
313 | - kernel write fault: spte.u=0, spte.w=1 (allows full kernel access, | ||
314 | disallows user access) | ||
315 | - read fault: spte.u=1, spte.w=0 (allows full read access, disallows kernel | ||
316 | write access) | ||
317 | |||
318 | (user write faults generate a #PF) | ||
319 | |||
320 | Large pages | ||
321 | =========== | ||
322 | |||
323 | The mmu supports all combinations of large and small guest and host pages. | ||
324 | Supported page sizes include 4k, 2M, 4M, and 1G. 4M pages are treated as | ||
325 | two separate 2M pages, on both guest and host, since the mmu always uses PAE | ||
326 | paging. | ||
327 | |||
328 | To instantiate a large spte, four constraints must be satisfied: | ||
329 | |||
330 | - the spte must point to a large host page | ||
331 | - the guest pte must be a large pte of at least equivalent size (if tdp is | ||
332 | enabled, there is no guest pte and this condition is satisified) | ||
333 | - if the spte will be writeable, the large page frame may not overlap any | ||
334 | write-protected pages | ||
335 | - the guest page must be wholly contained by a single memory slot | ||
336 | |||
337 | To check the last two conditions, the mmu maintains a ->write_count set of | ||
338 | arrays for each memory slot and large page size. Every write protected page | ||
339 | causes its write_count to be incremented, thus preventing instantiation of | ||
340 | a large spte. The frames at the end of an unaligned memory slot have | ||
341 | artificically inflated ->write_counts so they can never be instantiated. | ||
342 | |||

1 | KVM-specific MSRs. | ||
2 | Glauber Costa <glommer@redhat.com>, Red Hat Inc, 2010 | ||
3 | ===================================================== | ||
4 | |||
5 | KVM makes use of some custom MSRs to service some requests. | ||
6 | At present, this facility is only used by kvmclock. | ||
7 | |||
8 | Custom MSRs have a range reserved for them, that goes from | ||
9 | 0x4b564d00 to 0x4b564dff. There are MSRs outside this area, | ||
10 | but they are deprecated and their use is discouraged. | ||
11 | |||
12 | Custom MSR list | ||
13 | -------- | ||
14 | |||
15 | The current supported Custom MSR list is: | ||
16 | |||
17 | MSR_KVM_WALL_CLOCK_NEW: 0x4b564d00 | ||
18 | |||
19 | data: 4-byte alignment physical address of a memory area which must be | ||
20 | in guest RAM. This memory is expected to hold a copy of the following | ||
21 | structure: | ||
22 | |||
23 | struct pvclock_wall_clock { | ||
24 | u32 version; | ||
25 | u32 sec; | ||
26 | u32 nsec; | ||
27 | } __attribute__((__packed__)); | ||
28 | |||
29 | whose data will be filled in by the hypervisor. The hypervisor is only | ||
30 | guaranteed to update this data at the moment of MSR write. | ||
31 | Users that want to reliably query this information more than once have | ||
32 | to write more than once to this MSR. Fields have the following meanings: | ||
33 | |||
34 | version: guest has to check version before and after grabbing | ||
35 | time information and check that they are both equal and even. | ||
36 | An odd version indicates an in-progress update. | ||
37 | |||
38 | sec: number of seconds for wallclock. | ||
39 | |||
40 | nsec: number of nanoseconds for wallclock. | ||
41 | |||
42 | Note that although MSRs are per-CPU entities, the effect of this | ||
43 | particular MSR is global. | ||
44 | |||
45 | Availability of this MSR must be checked via bit 3 in 0x4000001 cpuid | ||
46 | leaf prior to usage. | ||
47 | |||
48 | MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME_NEW: 0x4b564d01 | ||
49 | |||
50 | data: 4-byte aligned physical address of a memory area which must be in | ||
51 | guest RAM, plus an enable bit in bit 0. This memory is expected to hold | ||
52 | a copy of the following structure: | ||
53 | |||
54 | struct pvclock_vcpu_time_info { | ||
55 | u32 version; | ||
56 | u32 pad0; | ||
57 | u64 tsc_timestamp; | ||
58 | u64 system_time; | ||
59 | u32 tsc_to_system_mul; | ||
60 | s8 tsc_shift; | ||
61 | u8 flags; | ||
62 | u8 pad[2]; | ||
63 | } __attribute__((__packed__)); /* 32 bytes */ | ||
64 | |||
65 | whose data will be filled in by the hypervisor periodically. Only one | ||
66 | write, or registration, is needed for each VCPU. The interval between | ||
67 | updates of this structure is arbitrary and implementation-dependent. | ||
68 | The hypervisor may update this structure at any time it sees fit until | ||
69 | anything with bit0 == 0 is written to it. | ||
70 | |||
71 | Fields have the following meanings: | ||
72 | |||
73 | version: guest has to check version before and after grabbing | ||
74 | time information and check that they are both equal and even. | ||
75 | An odd version indicates an in-progress update. | ||
76 | |||
77 | tsc_timestamp: the tsc value at the current VCPU at the time | ||
78 | of the update of this structure. Guests can subtract this value | ||
79 | from current tsc to derive a notion of elapsed time since the | ||
80 | structure update. | ||
81 | |||
82 | system_time: a host notion of monotonic time, including sleep | ||
83 | time at the time this structure was last updated. Unit is | ||
84 | nanoseconds. | ||
85 | |||
86 | tsc_to_system_mul: a function of the tsc frequency. One has | ||
87 | to multiply any tsc-related quantity by this value to get | ||
88 | a value in nanoseconds, besides dividing by 2^tsc_shift | ||
89 | |||
90 | tsc_shift: cycle to nanosecond divider, as a power of two, to | ||
91 | allow for shift rights. One has to shift right any tsc-related | ||
92 | quantity by this value to get a value in nanoseconds, besides | ||
93 | multiplying by tsc_to_system_mul. | ||
94 | |||
95 | With this information, guests can derive per-CPU time by | ||
96 | doing: | ||
97 | |||
98 | time = (current_tsc - tsc_timestamp) | ||
99 | time = (time * tsc_to_system_mul) >> tsc_shift | ||
100 | time = time + system_time | ||
101 | |||
102 | flags: bits in this field indicate extended capabilities | ||
103 | coordinated between the guest and the hypervisor. Availability | ||
104 | of specific flags has to be checked in 0x40000001 cpuid leaf. | ||
105 | Current flags are: | ||
106 | |||
107 | flag bit | cpuid bit | meaning | ||
108 | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
109 | | | time measures taken across | ||
110 | 0 | 24 | multiple cpus are guaranteed to | ||
111 | | | be monotonic | ||
112 | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
113 | |||
114 | Availability of this MSR must be checked via bit 3 in 0x4000001 cpuid | ||
115 | leaf prior to usage. | ||
116 | |||
117 | |||
118 | MSR_KVM_WALL_CLOCK: 0x11 | ||
119 | |||
120 | data and functioning: same as MSR_KVM_WALL_CLOCK_NEW. Use that instead. | ||
121 | |||
122 | This MSR falls outside the reserved KVM range and may be removed in the | ||
123 | future. Its usage is deprecated. | ||
124 | |||
125 | Availability of this MSR must be checked via bit 0 in 0x4000001 cpuid | ||
126 | leaf prior to usage. | ||
127 | |||
128 | MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME: 0x12 | ||
129 | |||
130 | data and functioning: same as MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME_NEW. Use that instead. | ||
131 | |||
132 | This MSR falls outside the reserved KVM range and may be removed in the | ||
133 | future. Its usage is deprecated. | ||
134 | |||
135 | Availability of this MSR must be checked via bit 0 in 0x4000001 cpuid | ||
136 | leaf prior to usage. | ||
137 | |||
138 | The suggested algorithm for detecting kvmclock presence is then: | ||
139 | |||
140 | if (!kvm_para_available()) /* refer to cpuid.txt */ | ||
141 | return NON_PRESENT; | ||

1 | Review checklist for kvm patches | ||
2 | ================================ | ||
3 | |||
4 | 1. The patch must follow Documentation/CodingStyle and | ||
5 | Documentation/SubmittingPatches. | ||
6 | |||
7 | 2. Patches should be against kvm.git master branch. | ||
8 | |||
9 | 3. If the patch introduces or modifies a new userspace API: | ||
10 | - the API must be documented in Documentation/kvm/api.txt | ||
11 | - the API must be discoverable using KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION | ||
12 | |||
13 | 4. New state must include support for save/restore. | ||
14 | |||
15 | 5. New features must default to off (userspace should explicitly request them). | ||
16 | Performance improvements can and should default to on. | ||
17 | |||
18 | 6. New cpu features should be exposed via KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID2 | ||
19 | |||
20 | 7. Emulator changes should be accompanied by unit tests for qemu-kvm.git | ||
21 | kvm/test directory. | ||
22 | |||
23 | 8. Changes should be vendor neutral when possible. Changes to common code | ||
24 | are better than duplicating changes to vendor code. | ||
25 | |||
26 | 9. Similarly, prefer changes to arch independent code than to arch dependent | ||
27 | code. | ||
28 | |||
29 | 10. User/kernel interfaces and guest/host interfaces must be 64-bit clean | ||
30 | (all variables and sizes naturally aligned on 64-bit; use specific types | ||
31 | only - u64 rather than ulong). | ||
32 | |||
33 | 11. New guest visible features must either be documented in a hardware manual | ||
34 | or be accompanied by documentation. | ||
35 | |||
36 | 12. Features must be robust against reset and kexec - for example, shared | ||
37 | host/guest memory must be unshared to prevent the host from writing to | ||
38 | guest memory that the guest has not reserved for this purpose. | ||

562 | should suspend or hibernate the laptop (and in the case of battery | ||
563 | alarms, unplug the AC adapter) to let it cool down. These alarms do | ||
564 | signal that something is wrong, they should never happen on normal | ||
565 | operating conditions. | ||
566 | |||
567 | The "extremely hot" alarms are emergencies. According to Lenovo, the | ||
568 | operating system is to force either an immediate suspend or hibernate | ||
569 | cycle, or a system shutdown. Obviously, something is very wrong if this | ||
570 | happens. | ||

928 | EXPERIMENTAL: Embedded controller register dump -- /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump | 966 | This feature is not included in the thinkpad driver anymore. |
929 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 967 | Instead the EC can be accessed through /sys/kernel/debug/ec with |
930 | 968 | a userspace tool which can be found here: | |
931 | This feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL because the implementation | 969 | ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/trenn/sources/ec |
932 | directly accesses hardware registers and may not work as expected. USE | ||
933 | WITH CAUTION! To use this feature, you need to supply the | ||
934 | experimental=1 parameter when loading the module. | ||
935 | |||
936 | This feature dumps the values of 256 embedded controller | ||
937 | registers. Values which have changed since the last time the registers | ||
938 | were dumped are marked with a star: | ||

18 | |||
19 | Note on Erase Size and Preferred Erase Size: | ||
20 | |||
21 | "erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase | ||
22 | operation. For MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size | ||
23 | reported by the card. Note that "erase_size" does not apply | ||
24 | to trim or secure trim operations where the minimum size is | ||
25 | always one 512 byte sector. For SD, "erase_size" is 512 | ||
26 | if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise. | ||
27 | |||
28 | SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and | ||
29 | including the whole card. When erasing a large area it may | ||
30 | be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons: | ||
31 | 1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on | ||
32 | the card wait. This is not a problem if the whole card | ||
33 | is being erased, but erasing one partition will make | ||
34 | I/O for another partition on the same card wait for the | ||
35 | duration of the erase - which could be a several | ||
36 | minutes. | ||
37 | 2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress. | ||
38 | 3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very | ||
39 | useful. Because the erase timeout contains a margin | ||
40 | which is multiplied by the size of the erase area, | ||
41 | the value can end up being several minutes for large | ||
42 | areas. | ||
43 | |||
44 | "erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase | ||
45 | (especially for SD where it is just one sector), | ||
46 | hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good chunk | ||
47 | size for erasing large areas. | ||
48 | |||
49 | For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity | ||
50 | erase size if a card specifies one, otherwise it is | ||
51 | based on the capacity of the card. | ||
52 | |||
53 | For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit | ||
54 | size specified by the card. | ||
55 | |||
56 | "preferred_erase_size" is in bytes. | ||

1322 | 4. Querying Bonding Configuration | 1323 | ---------------------------------------------- |
1324 | When using the bonding driver, the physical port which transmits a frame is | ||
1325 | typically selected by the bonding driver, and is not relevant to the user or | ||
1326 | system administrator. The output port is simply selected using the policies of | ||
1327 | the selected bonding mode. On occasion however, it is helpful to direct certain | ||
1328 | classes of traffic to certain physical interfaces on output to implement | ||
1329 | slightly more complex policies. For example, to reach a web server over a | ||
1330 | bonded interface in which eth0 connects to a private network, while eth1 | ||
1331 | connects via a public network, it may be desirous to bias the bond to send said | ||
1332 | traffic over eth0 first, using eth1 only as a fall back, while all other traffic | ||
1333 | can safely be sent over either interface. Such configurations may be achieved | ||
1334 | using the traffic control utilities inherent in linux. | ||
1335 | |||
1336 | By default the bonding driver is multiqueue aware and 16 queues are created | ||
1337 | when the driver initializes (see Documentation/networking/multiqueue.txt | ||
1338 | for details). If more or less queues are desired the module parameter | ||
1339 | tx_queues can be used to change this value. There is no sysfs parameter | ||
1340 | available as the allocation is done at module init time. | ||
1341 | |||
1342 | The output of the file /proc/net/bonding/bondX has changed so the output Queue | ||
1343 | ID is now printed for each slave: | ||

1362 | Permanent HW addr: 00:1a:a0:12:8f:cc | ||
1363 | Slave queue ID: 2 | ||
1364 | |||
1365 | The queue_id for a slave can be set using the command: | ||
1366 | |||
1367 | # echo "eth1:2" > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/queue_id | ||
1368 | |||
1369 | Any interface that needs a queue_id set should set it with multiple calls | ||
1370 | like the one above until proper priorities are set for all interfaces. On | ||
1371 | distributions that allow configuration via initscripts, multiple 'queue_id' | ||
1372 | arguments can be added to BONDING_OPTS to set all needed slave queues. | ||
1373 | |||
1374 | These queue id's can be used in conjunction with the tc utility to configure | ||
1375 | a multiqueue qdisc and filters to bias certain traffic to transmit on certain | ||
1376 | slave devices. For instance, say we wanted, in the above configuration to | ||
1377 | force all traffic bound to 192.168.1.100 to use eth1 in the bond as its output | ||
1378 | device. The following commands would accomplish this: | ||
1379 | |||
1380 | # tc qdisc add dev bond0 handle 1 root multiq | ||
1381 | |||
1382 | # tc filter add dev bond0 protocol ip parent 1: prio 1 u32 match ip dst \ | ||
1383 | 192.168.1.100 action skbedit queue_mapping 2 | ||
1384 | |||
1385 | These commands tell the kernel to attach a multiqueue queue discipline to the | ||
1386 | bond0 interface and filter traffic enqueued to it, such that packets with a dst | ||
1387 | ip of 192.168.1.100 have their output queue mapping value overwritten to 2. | ||
1388 | This value is then passed into the driver, causing the normal output path | ||
1389 | selection policy to be overridden, selecting instead qid 2, which maps to eth1. | ||
1390 | |||
1391 | Note that qid values begin at 1. Qid 0 is reserved to initiate to the driver | ||
1392 | that normal output policy selection should take place. One benefit to simply | ||
1393 | leaving the qid for a slave to 0 is the multiqueue awareness in the bonding | ||
1394 | driver that is now present. This awareness allows tc filters to be placed on | ||
1395 | slave devices as well as bond devices and the bonding driver will simply act as | ||
1396 | a pass-through for selecting output queues on the slave device rather than | ||
1397 | output port selection. | ||
1398 | |||
1399 | This feature first appeared in bonding driver version 3.7.0 and support for | ||
1400 | output slave selection was limited to round-robin and active-backup modes. | ||

8 | Introduction | ||
9 | ------------ | ||
10 | CAIF is a MUX protocol used by ST-Ericsson cellular modems for | ||
11 | communication between Modem and host. The host processes can open virtual AT | ||
12 | channels, initiate GPRS Data connections, Video channels and Utility Channels. | ||
13 | The Utility Channels are general purpose pipes between modem and host. | ||
14 | |||
15 | ST-Ericsson modems support a number of transports between modem | ||
16 | and host. Currently, UART and Loopback are available for Linux. | ||
17 | |||
18 | |||
19 | Architecture: | ||
20 | ------------ | ||
21 | The implementation of CAIF is divided into: | ||
22 | * CAIF Socket Layer, Kernel API, and Net Device. | ||
23 | * CAIF Core Protocol Implementation | ||
24 | * CAIF Link Layer, implemented as NET devices. | ||

47 | Using the Kernel API | ||
48 | ---------------------- | ||
49 | The Kernel API is used for accessing CAIF channels from the | ||
50 | kernel. | ||
51 | The user of the API has to implement two callbacks for receive | ||
52 | and control. | ||
53 | The receive callback gives a CAIF packet as a SKB. The control | ||
54 | callback will | ||
55 | notify of channel initialization complete, and flow-on/flow- | ||

77 | CAIF Core Protocol Layer | ||
78 | ========================================= | ||
79 | |||
80 | CAIF Core layer implements the CAIF protocol as defined by ST-Ericsson. | ||
81 | It implements the CAIF protocol stack in a layered approach, where | ||
82 | each layer described in the specification is implemented as a separate layer. | ||
83 | The architecture is inspired by the design patterns "Protocol Layer" and | ||
84 | "Protocol Packet". | ||
85 | |||
86 | == CAIF structure == | ||
87 | The Core CAIF implementation contains: | ||
88 | - Simple implementation of CAIF. | ||
89 | - Layered architecture (a la Streams), each layer in the CAIF | ||
90 | specification is implemented in a separate c-file. | ||
91 | - Clients must implement PHY layer to access physical HW | ||
92 | with receive and transmit functions. | ||
93 | - Clients must call configuration function to add PHY layer. | ||
94 | - Clients must implement CAIF layer to consume/produce | ||
95 | CAIF payload with receive and transmit functions. | ||
96 | - Clients must call configuration function to add and connect the | ||
97 | Client layer. | ||
98 | - When receiving / transmitting CAIF Packets (cfpkt), ownership is passed | ||
99 | to the called function (except for framing layers' receive functions | ||
100 | or if a transmit function returns an error, in which case the caller | ||
101 | must free the packet). | ||
102 | |||
103 | Layered Architecture | ||
104 | -------------------- | ||
105 | The CAIF protocol can be divided into two parts: Support functions and Protocol | ||
106 | Implementation. The support functions include: | ||
107 | |||
108 | - CFPKT CAIF Packet. Implementation of CAIF Protocol Packet. The | ||
109 | CAIF Packet has functions for creating, destroying and adding content | ||
110 | and for adding/extracting header and trailers to protocol packets. | ||
111 | |||
112 | - CFLST CAIF list implementation. | ||
113 | |||
114 | - CFGLUE CAIF Glue. Contains OS Specifics, such as memory | ||
115 | allocation, endianness, etc. | ||
116 | |||
117 | The CAIF Protocol implementation contains: | ||
118 | |||
119 | - CFCNFG CAIF Configuration layer. Configures the CAIF Protocol | ||
120 | Stack and provides a Client interface for adding Link-Layer and | ||
121 | Driver interfaces on top of the CAIF Stack. | ||
122 | |||
123 | - CFCTRL CAIF Control layer. Encodes and Decodes control messages | ||
124 | such as enumeration and channel setup. Also matches request and | ||
125 | response messages. | ||
126 | |||
127 | - CFSERVL General CAIF Service Layer functionality; handles flow | ||
128 | control and remote shutdown requests. | ||
129 | |||
130 | - CFVEI CAIF VEI layer. Handles CAIF AT Channels on VEI (Virtual | ||
131 | External Interface). This layer encodes/decodes VEI frames. | ||
132 | |||
133 | - CFDGML CAIF Datagram layer. Handles CAIF Datagram layer (IP | ||
134 | traffic), encodes/decodes Datagram frames. | ||
135 | |||
136 | - CFMUX CAIF Mux layer. Handles multiplexing between multiple | ||
137 | physical bearers and multiple channels such as VEI, Datagram, etc. | ||
138 | The MUX keeps track of the existing CAIF Channels and | ||
139 | Physical Instances and selects the apropriate instance based | ||
140 | on Channel-Id and Physical-ID. | ||
141 | |||
142 | - CFFRML CAIF Framing layer. Handles Framing i.e. Frame length | ||
143 | and frame checksum. | ||
144 | |||
145 | - CFSERL CAIF Serial layer. Handles concatenation/split of frames | ||
146 | into CAIF Frames with correct length. | ||

178 | In this layered approach the following "rules" apply. | ||
179 | - All layers embed the same structure "struct cflayer" | ||
180 | - A layer does not depend on any other layer's private data. | ||
181 | - Layers are stacked by setting the pointers | ||
182 | layer->up , layer->dn | ||
183 | - In order to send data upwards, each layer should do | ||
184 | layer->up->receive(layer->up, packet); | ||
185 | - In order to send data downwards, each layer should do | ||
186 | layer->dn->transmit(layer->dn, packet); | ||
187 | |||
188 | |||
189 | Linux Driver Implementation | ||
190 | =========================== | ||
191 | |||
192 | Linux GPRS Net Device and CAIF socket are implemented on top of the | ||
193 | CAIF Core protocol. The Net device and CAIF socket have an instance of | ||
194 | 'struct cflayer', just like the CAIF Core protocol stack. | ||
195 | Net device and Socket implement the 'receive()' function defined by | ||
196 | 'struct cflayer', just like the rest of the CAIF stack. In this way, transmit and | ||
197 | receive of packets is handled as by the rest of the layers: the 'dn->transmit()' | ||
198 | function is called in order to transmit data. | ||
199 | |||
200 | The layer on top of the CAIF Core implementation is | ||
201 | sometimes referred to as the "Client layer". | ||
202 | |||
203 | |||
204 | Configuration of Link Layer | ||
205 | --------------------------- | ||
206 | The Link Layer is implemented as Linux net devices (struct net_device). | ||
207 | Payload handling and registration is done using standard Linux mechanisms. | ||
208 | |||
209 | The CAIF Protocol relies on a loss-less link layer without implementing | ||
210 | retransmission. This implies that packet drops must not happen. | ||
211 | Therefore a flow-control mechanism is implemented where the physical | ||
212 | interface can initiate flow stop for all CAIF Channels. | ||

6 | === Start === | ||
7 | If you have compiled CAIF for modules do: | ||
8 | |||
9 | $modprobe crc_ccitt | ||
10 | $modprobe caif | ||
11 | $modprobe caif_socket | ||
12 | $modprobe chnl_net | ||
13 | |||
14 | |||
15 | === Preparing the setup with a STE modem === | ||
16 | |||
17 | If you are working on integration of CAIF you should make sure | ||
18 | that the kernel is built with module support. | ||
19 | |||
20 | There are some things that need to be tweaked to get the host TTY correctly | ||
21 | set up to talk to the modem. | ||
22 | Since the CAIF stack is running in the kernel and we want to use the existing | ||
23 | TTY, we are installing our physical serial driver as a line discipline above | ||
24 | the TTY device. | ||
25 | |||
26 | To achieve this we need to install the N_CAIF ldisc from user space. | ||
27 | The benefit is that we can hook up to any TTY. | ||
28 | |||
29 | The use of Start-of-frame-extension (STX) must also be set as | ||
30 | module parameter "ser_use_stx". | ||
31 | |||
32 | Normally Frame Checksum is always used on UART, but this is also provided as a | ||
33 | module parameter "ser_use_fcs". | ||
34 | |||
35 | $ modprobe caif_serial ser_ttyname=/dev/ttyS0 ser_use_stx=yes | ||
36 | $ ifconfig caif_ttyS0 up | ||
37 | |||
38 | PLEASE NOTE: There is a limitation in Android shell. | ||
39 | It only accepts one argument to insmod/modprobe! | ||
40 | |||
41 | === Trouble shooting === | ||
42 | |||
43 | There are debugfs parameters provided for serial communication. | ||
44 | /sys/kernel/debug/caif_serial/<tty-name>/ | ||
45 | |||
46 | * ser_state: Prints the bit-mask status where | ||
47 | - 0x02 means SENDING, this is a transient state. | ||
48 | - 0x10 means FLOW_OFF_SENT, i.e. the previous frame has not been sent | ||
49 | and is blocking further send operation. Flow OFF has been propagated | ||
50 | to all CAIF Channels using this TTY. | ||
51 | |||
52 | * tty_status: Prints the bit-mask tty status information | ||
53 | - 0x01 - tty->warned is on. | ||
54 | - 0x02 - tty->low_latency is on. | ||
55 | - 0x04 - tty->packed is on. | ||
56 | - 0x08 - tty->flow_stopped is on. | ||
57 | - 0x10 - tty->hw_stopped is on. | ||
58 | - 0x20 - tty->stopped is on. | ||
59 | |||
60 | * last_tx_msg: Binary blob Prints the last transmitted frame. | ||
61 | This can be printed with | ||
62 | $od --format=x1 /sys/kernel/debug/caif_serial/<tty>/last_rx_msg. | ||
63 | The first two tx messages sent look like this. Note: The initial | ||
64 | byte 02 is start of frame extension (STX) used for re-syncing | ||
65 | upon errors. | ||
66 | |||
67 | - Enumeration: | ||
68 | 0000000 02 05 00 00 03 01 d2 02 | ||
69 | | | | | | | | ||
70 | STX(1) | | | | | ||
71 | Length(2)| | | | ||
72 | Control Channel(1) | ||
73 | Command:Enumeration(1) | ||
74 | Link-ID(1) | ||
75 | Checksum(2) | ||
76 | - Channel Setup: | ||
77 | 0000000 02 07 00 00 00 21 a1 00 48 df | ||
78 | | | | | | | | | | ||
79 | STX(1) | | | | | | | ||
80 | Length(2)| | | | | | ||
81 | Control Channel(1) | ||
82 | Command:Channel Setup(1) | ||
83 | Channel Type(1) | ||
84 | Priority and Link-ID(1) | ||
85 | Endpoint(1) | ||
86 | Checksum(2) | ||
87 | |||
88 | * last_rx_msg: Prints the last transmitted frame. | ||
89 | The RX messages for LinkSetup look almost identical but they have the | ||
90 | bit 0x20 set in the command bit, and Channel Setup has added one byte | ||
91 | before Checksum containing Channel ID. | ||
92 | NOTE: Several CAIF Messages might be concatenated. The maximum debug | ||
93 | buffer size is 128 bytes. | ||
94 | |||
95 | == Error Scenarios: | ||
96 | - last_tx_msg contains channel setup message and last_rx_msg is empty -> | ||
97 | The host seems to be able to send over the UART, at least the CAIF ldisc get | ||
98 | notified that sending is completed. | ||
99 | |||
100 | - last_tx_msg contains enumeration message and last_rx_msg is empty -> | ||
101 | The host is not able to send the message from UART, the tty has not been | ||
102 | able to complete the transmit operation. | ||
103 | |||
104 | - if /sys/kernel/debug/caif_serial/<tty>/tty_status is non-zero there | ||
105 | might be problems transmitting over UART. | ||
106 | E.g. host and modem wiring is not correct you will typically see | ||
107 | tty_status = 0x10 (hw_stopped) and ser_state = 0x10 (FLOW_OFF_SENT). | ||
108 | You will probably see the enumeration message in last_tx_message | ||
109 | and empty last_rx_message. | ||

1 | - CAIF SPI porting - | ||
2 | |||
3 | - CAIF SPI basics: | ||
4 | |||
5 | Running CAIF over SPI needs some extra setup, owing to the nature of SPI. | ||
6 | Two extra GPIOs have been added in order to negotiate the transfers | ||
7 | between the master and the slave. The minimum requirement for running | ||
8 | CAIF over SPI is a SPI slave chip and two GPIOs (more details below). | ||
9 | Please note that running as a slave implies that you need to keep up | ||
10 | with the master clock. An overrun or underrun event is fatal. | ||
11 | |||
12 | - CAIF SPI framework: | ||
13 | |||
14 | To make porting as easy as possible, the CAIF SPI has been divided in | ||
15 | two parts. The first part (called the interface part) deals with all | ||
16 | generic functionality such as length framing, SPI frame negotiation | ||
17 | and SPI frame delivery and transmission. The other part is the CAIF | ||
18 | SPI slave device part, which is the module that you have to write if | ||
19 | you want to run SPI CAIF on a new hardware. This part takes care of | ||
20 | the physical hardware, both with regard to SPI and to GPIOs. | ||
21 | |||
22 | - Implementing a CAIF SPI device: | ||
23 | |||
24 | - Functionality provided by the CAIF SPI slave device: | ||
25 | |||
26 | In order to implement a SPI device you will, as a minimum, | ||
27 | need to implement the following | ||
28 | functions: | ||
29 | |||
30 | int (*init_xfer) (struct cfspi_xfer * xfer, struct cfspi_dev *dev): | ||
31 | |||
32 | This function is called by the CAIF SPI interface to give | ||
33 | you a chance to set up your hardware to be ready to receive | ||
34 | a stream of data from the master. The xfer structure contains | ||
35 | both physical and logical adresses, as well as the total length | ||
36 | of the transfer in both directions.The dev parameter can be used | ||
37 | to map to different CAIF SPI slave devices. | ||
38 | |||
39 | void (*sig_xfer) (bool xfer, struct cfspi_dev *dev): | ||
40 | |||
41 | This function is called by the CAIF SPI interface when the output | ||
42 | (SPI_INT) GPIO needs to change state. The boolean value of the xfer | ||
43 | variable indicates whether the GPIO should be asserted (HIGH) or | ||
44 | deasserted (LOW). The dev parameter can be used to map to different CAIF | ||
45 | SPI slave devices. | ||
46 | |||
47 | - Functionality provided by the CAIF SPI interface: | ||
48 | |||
49 | void (*ss_cb) (bool assert, struct cfspi_ifc *ifc); | ||
50 | |||
51 | This function is called by the CAIF SPI slave device in order to | ||
52 | signal a change of state of the input GPIO (SS) to the interface. | ||
53 | Only active edges are mandatory to be reported. | ||
54 | This function can be called from IRQ context (recommended in order | ||
55 | not to introduce latency). The ifc parameter should be the pointer | ||
56 | returned from the platform probe function in the SPI device structure. | ||
57 | |||
58 | void (*xfer_done_cb) (struct cfspi_ifc *ifc); | ||
59 | |||
60 | This function is called by the CAIF SPI slave device in order to | ||
61 | report that a transfer is completed. This function should only be | ||
62 | called once both the transmission and the reception are completed. | ||
63 | This function can be called from IRQ context (recommended in order | ||
64 | not to introduce latency). The ifc parameter should be the pointer | ||
65 | returned from the platform probe function in the SPI device structure. | ||
66 | |||
67 | - Connecting the bits and pieces: | ||
68 | |||
69 | - Filling in the SPI slave device structure: | ||
70 | |||
71 | Connect the necessary callback functions. | ||
72 | Indicate clock speed (used to calculate toggle delays). | ||
73 | Chose a suitable name (helps debugging if you use several CAIF | ||
74 | SPI slave devices). | ||
75 | Assign your private data (can be used to map to your structure). | ||
76 | |||
77 | - Filling in the SPI slave platform device structure: | ||
78 | Add name of driver to connect to ("cfspi_sspi"). | ||
79 | Assign the SPI slave device structure as platform data. | ||
80 | |||
81 | - Padding: | ||
82 | |||
83 | In order to optimize throughput, a number of SPI padding options are provided. | ||
84 | Padding can be enabled independently for uplink and downlink transfers. | ||
85 | Padding can be enabled for the head, the tail and for the total frame size. | ||
86 | The padding needs to be correctly configured on both sides of the link. | ||
87 | The padding can be changed via module parameters in cfspi_sspi.c or via | ||
88 | the sysfs directory of the cfspi_sspi driver (before device registration). | ||

13 | |||
14 | |||
15 | ======== | ||
16 | OVERVIEW | ||
17 | ======== | ||
18 | |||
19 | The DNS resolver module provides a way for kernel services to make DNS queries | ||
20 | by way of requesting a key of key type dns_resolver. These queries are | ||
21 | upcalled to userspace through /sbin/request-key. | ||
22 | |||
23 | These routines must be supported by userspace tools dns.upcall, cifs.upcall and | ||
24 | request-key. It is under development and does not yet provide the full feature | ||
25 | set. The features it does support include: | ||
26 | |||
27 | (*) Implements the dns_resolver key_type to contact userspace. | ||
28 | |||
29 | It does not yet support the following AFS features: | ||
30 | |||
31 | (*) Dns query support for AFSDB resource record. | ||
32 | |||
33 | This code is extracted from the CIFS filesystem. | ||
34 | |||
35 | |||
36 | =========== | ||
37 | COMPILATION | ||
38 | =========== | ||
39 | |||
40 | The module should be enabled by turning on the kernel configuration options: | ||
41 | |||
42 | CONFIG_DNS_RESOLVER - tristate "DNS Resolver support" | ||
43 | |||
44 | |||
45 | ========== | ||
46 | SETTING UP | ||
47 | ========== | ||
48 | |||
49 | To set up this facility, the /etc/request-key.conf file must be altered so that | ||
50 | /sbin/request-key can appropriately direct the upcalls. For example, to handle | ||
51 | basic dname to IPv4/IPv6 address resolution, the following line should be | ||
52 | added: | ||
53 | |||
54 | #OP TYPE DESC CO-INFO PROGRAM ARG1 ARG2 ARG3 ... | ||
55 | #====== ============ ======= ======= ========================== | ||
56 | create dns_resolver * * /usr/sbin/cifs.upcall %k | ||
57 | |||
58 | To direct a query for query type 'foo', a line of the following should be added | ||
59 | before the more general line given above as the first match is the one taken. | ||
60 | |||
61 | create dns_resolver foo:* * /usr/sbin/dns.foo %k | ||
62 | |||
63 | |||
64 | |||
65 | ===== | ||
66 | USAGE | ||
67 | ===== | ||
68 | |||
69 | To make use of this facility, one of the following functions that are | ||
70 | implemented in the module can be called after doing: | ||
71 | |||
72 | #include <linux/dns_resolver.h> | ||
73 | |||
74 | (1) int dns_query(const char *type, const char *name, size_t namelen, | ||
75 | const char *options, char **_result, time_t *_expiry); | ||
76 | |||
77 | This is the basic access function. It looks for a cached DNS query and if | ||
78 | it doesn't find it, it upcalls to userspace to make a new DNS query, which | ||
79 | may then be cached. The key description is constructed as a string of the | ||
80 | form: | ||
81 | |||
82 | [<type>:]<name> | ||
83 | |||
84 | where <type> optionally specifies the particular upcall program to invoke, | ||
85 | and thus the type of query to do, and <name> specifies the string to be | ||
86 | looked up. The default query type is a straight hostname to IP address | ||
87 | set lookup. | ||
88 | |||
89 | The name parameter is not required to be a NUL-terminated string, and its | ||
90 | length should be given by the namelen argument. | ||
91 | |||
92 | The options parameter may be NULL or it may be a set of options | ||
93 | appropriate to the query type. | ||
94 | |||
95 | The return value is a string appropriate to the query type. For instance, | ||
96 | for the default query type it is just a list of comma-separated IPv4 and | ||
97 | IPv6 addresses. The caller must free the result. | ||
98 | |||
99 | The length of the result string is returned on success, and a negative | ||
100 | error code is returned otherwise. -EKEYREJECTED will be returned if the | ||
101 | DNS lookup failed. | ||
102 | |||
103 | If _expiry is non-NULL, the expiry time (TTL) of the result will be | ||
104 | returned also. | ||
105 | |||
106 | |||
107 | ========= | ||
108 | MECHANISM | ||
109 | ========= | ||
110 | |||
111 | The dnsresolver module registers a key type called "dns_resolver". Keys of | ||
112 | this type are used to transport and cache DNS lookup results from userspace. | ||
113 | |||
114 | When dns_query() is invoked, it calls request_key() to search the local | ||
115 | keyrings for a cached DNS result. If that fails to find one, it upcalls to | ||
116 | userspace to get a new result. | ||
117 | |||
118 | Upcalls to userspace are made through the request_key() upcall vector, and are | ||
119 | directed by means of configuration lines in /etc/request-key.conf that tell | ||
120 | /sbin/request-key what program to run to instantiate the key. | ||
121 | |||
122 | The upcall handler program is responsible for querying the DNS, processing the | ||
123 | result into a form suitable for passing to the keyctl_instantiate_key() | ||
124 | routine. This then passes the data to dns_resolver_instantiate() which strips | ||
125 | off and processes any options included in the data, and then attaches the | ||
126 | remainder of the string to the key as its payload. | ||
127 | |||
128 | The upcall handler program should set the expiry time on the key to that of the | ||
129 | lowest TTL of all the records it has extracted a result from. This means that | ||
130 | the key will be discarded and recreated when the data it holds has expired. | ||
131 | |||
132 | dns_query() returns a copy of the value attached to the key, or an error if | ||
133 | that is indicated instead. | ||
134 | |||
135 | See <file:Documentation/keys-request-key.txt> for further information about | ||
136 | request-key function. | ||
137 | |||

144 | following file: | ||

20 | In This Release | ||
21 | =============== | ||
22 | |||
23 | This file describes the Linux* Base Driver for the Intel(R) PRO/1000 Family | ||
24 | of Adapters. This driver includes support for Itanium(R)2-based systems. | ||
25 | |||
26 | For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation | ||
27 | supplied with your Intel PRO/1000 adapter. All hardware requirements listed | ||
28 | apply to use with Linux. | ||
29 | |||
30 | The following features are now available in supported kernels: | ||
31 | - Native VLANs | ||
32 | - Channel Bonding (teaming) | ||
33 | - SNMP | ||
34 | |||
35 | Channel Bonding documentation can be found in the Linux kernel source: | ||
36 | /Documentation/networking/bonding.txt | ||
37 | |||
38 | The driver information previously displayed in the /proc filesystem is not | ||
39 | supported in this release. Alternatively, you can use ethtool (version 1.6 | ||
40 | or later), lspci, and ifconfig to obtain the same information. | ||
41 | |||
42 | Instructions on updating ethtool can be found in the section "Additional | ||
43 | Configurations" later in this document. | ||
44 | |||
45 | NOTE: The Intel(R) 82562v 10/100 Network Connection only provides 10/100 | ||
46 | support. | ||

252 | On certain non-Intel architectures, it has been observed that intense TX | ||

392 | Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions | ||
393 | ------------------------------------------------- | ||
394 | Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started | ||

396 | adding an alias line to /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf as well | ||
397 | as editing other system startup scripts and/or configuration files. Many | ||
398 | popular Linux distributions ship with tools to make these changes for you. | ||

405 | (eth0 and eth1) and set the speed and duplex to 10full and 100half, add | ||

525 | Known Issues | ||
526 | ============ | ||
527 | |||
528 | Dropped Receive Packets on Half-duplex 10/100 Networks | ||
529 | ------------------------------------------------------ | ||
530 | If you have an Intel PCI Express adapter running at 10mbps or 100mbps, half- | ||
531 | duplex, you may observe occasional dropped receive packets. There are no | ||
532 | workarounds for this problem in this network configuration. The network must | ||
533 | be updated to operate in full-duplex, and/or 1000mbps only. | ||
534 | |||
535 | Jumbo Frames System Requirement | ||
536 | ------------------------------- | ||
537 | Memory allocation failures have been observed on Linux systems with 64 MB | ||
538 | of RAM or less that are running Jumbo Frames. If you are using Jumbo | ||
539 | Frames, your system may require more than the advertised minimum | ||
540 | requirement of 64 MB of system memory. | ||
541 | |||
542 | Performance Degradation with Jumbo Frames | ||
543 | ----------------------------------------- | ||
544 | Degradation in throughput performance may be observed in some Jumbo frames | ||
545 | environments. If this is observed, increasing the application's socket | ||
546 | buffer size and/or increasing the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_*mem entry values | ||
547 | may help. See the specific application manual and | ||
548 | /usr/src/linux*/Documentation/ | ||
549 | networking/ip-sysctl.txt for more details. | ||
550 | |||
551 | Jumbo Frames on Foundry BigIron 8000 switch | ||
552 | ------------------------------------------- | ||
553 | There is a known issue using Jumbo frames when connected to a Foundry | ||
554 | BigIron 8000 switch. This is a 3rd party limitation. If you experience | ||
555 | loss of packets, lower the MTU size. | ||
556 | |||
557 | Allocating Rx Buffers when Using Jumbo Frames | ||
558 | --------------------------------------------- | ||
559 | Allocating Rx buffers when using Jumbo Frames on 2.6.x kernels may fail if | ||
560 | the available memory is heavily fragmented. This issue may be seen with PCI-X | ||
561 | adapters or with packet split disabled. This can be reduced or eliminated | ||
562 | by changing the amount of available memory for receive buffer allocation, by | ||
563 | increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes. | ||
564 | |||
565 | Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network | ||
566 | ------------------------------------------------------ | ||
567 | Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have | ||
568 | one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain | ||
569 | (non-partitioned switch) behave as expected. All Ethernet interfaces | ||
570 | will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system. | ||
571 | This results in unbalanced receive traffic. | ||
572 | |||
573 | If you have multiple interfaces in a server, either turn on ARP | ||
574 | filtering by entering: | ||
575 | |||
576 | echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter | ||
577 | (this only works if your kernel's version is higher than 2.4.5), | ||
578 | |||
579 | NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots. The configuration | ||
580 | change can be made permanent by adding the line: | ||
581 | net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_filter = 1 | ||
582 | to the file /etc/sysctl.conf | ||
583 | |||
584 | or, | ||
585 | |||
586 | install the interfaces in separate broadcast domains (either in | ||
587 | different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs). | ||
588 | |||
589 | 82541/82547 can't link or are slow to link with some link partners | ||
590 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
591 | There is a known compatibility issue with 82541/82547 and some | ||
592 | low-end switches where the link will not be established, or will | ||
593 | be slow to establish. In particular, these switches are known to | ||
594 | be incompatible with 82541/82547: | ||
595 | |||
596 | Planex FXG-08TE | ||
597 | I-O Data ETG-SH8 | ||
598 | |||
599 | To workaround this issue, the driver can be compiled with an override | ||
600 | of the PHY's master/slave setting. Forcing master or forcing slave | ||
601 | mode will improve time-to-link. | ||
602 | |||
603 | # make CFLAGS_EXTRA=-DE1000_MASTER_SLAVE=<n> | ||
604 | |||
605 | Where <n> is: | ||
606 | |||
607 | 0 = Hardware default | ||
608 | 1 = Master mode | ||
609 | 2 = Slave mode | ||
610 | 3 = Auto master/slave | ||
611 | |||
612 | Disable rx flow control with ethtool | ||
613 | ------------------------------------ | ||
614 | In order to disable receive flow control using ethtool, you must turn | ||
615 | off auto-negotiation on the same command line. | ||
616 | |||
617 | For example: | ||
618 | |||
619 | ethtool -A eth? autoneg off rx off | ||
620 | |||
621 | Unplugging network cable while ethtool -p is running | ||
622 | ---------------------------------------------------- | ||
623 | In kernel versions 2.5.50 and later (including 2.6 kernel), unplugging | ||
624 | the network cable while ethtool -p is running will cause the system to | ||
625 | become unresponsive to keyboard commands, except for control-alt-delete. | ||
626 | Restarting the system appears to be the only remedy. | ||

15 | Identifying Your Adapter | ||
16 | ======================== | ||
17 | |||
18 | The e1000e driver supports all PCI Express Intel(R) Gigabit Network | ||
19 | Connections, except those that are 82575, 82576 and 82580-based*. | ||
20 | |||
21 | * NOTE: The Intel(R) PRO/1000 P Dual Port Server Adapter is supported by | ||
22 | the e1000 driver, not the e1000e driver due to the 82546 part being used | ||
23 | behind a PCI Express bridge. | ||
24 | |||
25 | For more information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter & | ||
26 | Driver ID Guide at: | ||
27 | |||
28 | http://support.intel.com/support/go/network/adapter/idguide.htm | ||
29 | |||
30 | For the latest Intel network drivers for Linux, refer to the following | ||
31 | website. In the search field, enter your adapter name or type, or use the | ||
32 | networking link on the left to search for your adapter: | ||
33 | |||
34 | http://support.intel.com/support/go/network/adapter/home.htm | ||
35 | |||
36 | Command Line Parameters | ||
37 | ======================= | ||
38 | |||
39 | The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting, | ||
40 | unless otherwise noted. | ||
41 | |||
42 | NOTES: For more information about the InterruptThrottleRate, | ||
43 | RxIntDelay, TxIntDelay, RxAbsIntDelay, and TxAbsIntDelay | ||
44 | parameters, see the application note at: | ||
45 | http://www.intel.com/design/network/applnots/ap450.htm | ||
46 | |||
47 | InterruptThrottleRate | ||
48 | --------------------- | ||
49 | Valid Range: 0,1,3,4,100-100000 (0=off, 1=dynamic, 3=dynamic conservative, | ||
50 | 4=simplified balancing) | ||
51 | Default Value: 3 | ||
52 | |||
53 | The driver can limit the amount of interrupts per second that the adapter | ||
54 | will generate for incoming packets. It does this by writing a value to the | ||
55 | adapter that is based on the maximum amount of interrupts that the adapter | ||
56 | will generate per second. | ||
57 | |||
58 | Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100 | ||
59 | will program the adapter to send out a maximum of that many interrupts | ||
60 | per second, even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt | ||
61 | load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load, | ||
62 | but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly. | ||
63 | |||
64 | The driver has two adaptive modes (setting 1 or 3) in which | ||
65 | it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on the traffic | ||
66 | that it receives. After determining the type of incoming traffic in the last | ||
67 | timeframe, it will adjust the InterruptThrottleRate to an appropriate value | ||
68 | for that traffic. | ||
69 | |||
70 | The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into | ||
71 | classes. Once the class is determined, the InterruptThrottleRate value is | ||
72 | adjusted to suit that traffic type the best. There are three classes defined: | ||
73 | "Bulk traffic", for large amounts of packets of normal size; "Low latency", | ||
74 | for small amounts of traffic and/or a significant percentage of small | ||
75 | packets; and "Lowest latency", for almost completely small packets or | ||
76 | minimal traffic. | ||
77 | |||
78 | In dynamic conservative mode, the InterruptThrottleRate value is set to 4000 | ||
79 | for traffic that falls in class "Bulk traffic". If traffic falls in the "Low | ||
80 | latency" or "Lowest latency" class, the InterruptThrottleRate is increased | ||
81 | stepwise to 20000. This default mode is suitable for most applications. | ||
82 | |||
83 | For situations where low latency is vital such as cluster or | ||
84 | grid computing, the algorithm can reduce latency even more when | ||
85 | InterruptThrottleRate is set to mode 1. In this mode, which operates | ||
86 | the same as mode 3, the InterruptThrottleRate will be increased stepwise to | ||
87 | 70000 for traffic in class "Lowest latency". | ||
88 | |||
89 | In simplified mode the interrupt rate is based on the ratio of Tx and | ||
90 | Rx traffic. If the bytes per second rate is approximately equal the | ||
91 | interrupt rate will drop as low as 2000 interrupts per second. If the | ||
92 | traffic is mostly transmit or mostly receive, the interrupt rate could | ||
93 | be as high as 8000. | ||
94 | |||
95 | Setting InterruptThrottleRate to 0 turns off any interrupt moderation | ||
96 | and may improve small packet latency, but is generally not suitable | ||
97 | for bulk throughput traffic. | ||
98 | |||
99 | NOTE: InterruptThrottleRate takes precedence over the TxAbsIntDelay and | ||
100 | RxAbsIntDelay parameters. In other words, minimizing the receive | ||
101 | and/or transmit absolute delays does not force the controller to | ||
102 | generate more interrupts than what the Interrupt Throttle Rate | ||
103 | allows. | ||
104 | |||
105 | NOTE: When e1000e is loaded with default settings and multiple adapters | ||
106 | are in use simultaneously, the CPU utilization may increase non- | ||
107 | linearly. In order to limit the CPU utilization without impacting | ||
108 | the overall throughput, we recommend that you load the driver as | ||
109 | follows: | ||
110 | |||
111 | modprobe e1000e InterruptThrottleRate=3000,3000,3000 | ||
112 | |||
113 | This sets the InterruptThrottleRate to 3000 interrupts/sec for | ||
114 | the first, second, and third instances of the driver. The range | ||
115 | of 2000 to 3000 interrupts per second works on a majority of | ||
116 | systems and is a good starting point, but the optimal value will | ||
117 | be platform-specific. If CPU utilization is not a concern, use | ||
118 | RX_POLLING (NAPI) and default driver settings. | ||
119 | |||
120 | RxIntDelay | ||
121 | ---------- | ||
122 | Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off) | ||
123 | Default Value: 0 | ||
124 | |||
125 | This value delays the generation of receive interrupts in units of 1.024 | ||
126 | microseconds. Receive interrupt reduction can improve CPU efficiency if | ||
127 | properly tuned for specific network traffic. Increasing this value adds | ||
128 | extra latency to frame reception and can end up decreasing the throughput | ||
129 | of TCP traffic. If the system is reporting dropped receives, this value | ||
130 | may be set too high, causing the driver to run out of available receive | ||
131 | descriptors. | ||
132 | |||
133 | CAUTION: When setting RxIntDelay to a value other than 0, adapters may | ||
134 | hang (stop transmitting) under certain network conditions. If | ||
135 | this occurs a NETDEV WATCHDOG message is logged in the system | ||
136 | event log. In addition, the controller is automatically reset, | ||
137 | restoring the network connection. To eliminate the potential | ||
138 | for the hang ensure that RxIntDelay is set to 0. | ||
139 | |||
140 | RxAbsIntDelay | ||
141 | ------------- | ||
142 | Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off) | ||
143 | Default Value: 8 | ||
144 | |||
145 | This value, in units of 1.024 microseconds, limits the delay in which a | ||
146 | receive interrupt is generated. Useful only if RxIntDelay is non-zero, | ||
147 | this value ensures that an interrupt is generated after the initial | ||
148 | packet is received within the set amount of time. Proper tuning, | ||
149 | along with RxIntDelay, may improve traffic throughput in specific network | ||
150 | conditions. | ||
151 | |||
152 | TxIntDelay | ||
153 | ---------- | ||
154 | Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off) | ||
155 | Default Value: 8 | ||
156 | |||
157 | This value delays the generation of transmit interrupts in units of | ||
158 | 1.024 microseconds. Transmit interrupt reduction can improve CPU | ||
159 | efficiency if properly tuned for specific network traffic. If the | ||
160 | system is reporting dropped transmits, this value may be set too high | ||
161 | causing the driver to run out of available transmit descriptors. | ||
162 | |||
163 | TxAbsIntDelay | ||
164 | ------------- | ||
165 | Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off) | ||
166 | Default Value: 32 | ||
167 | |||
168 | This value, in units of 1.024 microseconds, limits the delay in which a | ||
169 | transmit interrupt is generated. Useful only if TxIntDelay is non-zero, | ||
170 | this value ensures that an interrupt is generated after the initial | ||
171 | packet is sent on the wire within the set amount of time. Proper tuning, | ||
172 | along with TxIntDelay, may improve traffic throughput in specific | ||
173 | network conditions. | ||
174 | |||
175 | Copybreak | ||
176 | --------- | ||
177 | Valid Range: 0-xxxxxxx (0=off) | ||
178 | Default Value: 256 | ||
179 | |||
180 | Driver copies all packets below or equaling this size to a fresh Rx | ||
181 | buffer before handing it up the stack. | ||
182 | |||
183 | This parameter is different than other parameters, in that it is a | ||
184 | single (not 1,1,1 etc.) parameter applied to all driver instances and | ||
185 | it is also available during runtime at | ||
186 | /sys/module/e1000e/parameters/copybreak | ||
187 | |||
188 | SmartPowerDownEnable | ||
189 | -------------------- | ||
190 | Valid Range: 0-1 | ||
191 | Default Value: 0 (disabled) | ||
192 | |||
193 | Allows PHY to turn off in lower power states. The user can set this parameter | ||
194 | in supported chipsets. | ||
195 | |||
196 | KumeranLockLoss | ||
197 | --------------- | ||
198 | Valid Range: 0-1 | ||
199 | Default Value: 1 (enabled) | ||
200 | |||
201 | This workaround skips resetting the PHY at shutdown for the initial | ||
202 | silicon releases of ICH8 systems. | ||
203 | |||
204 | IntMode | ||
205 | ------- | ||
206 | Valid Range: 0-2 (0=legacy, 1=MSI, 2=MSI-X) | ||
207 | Default Value: 2 | ||
208 | |||
209 | Allows changing the interrupt mode at module load time, without requiring a | ||
210 | recompile. If the driver load fails to enable a specific interrupt mode, the | ||
211 | driver will try other interrupt modes, from least to most compatible. The | ||
212 | interrupt order is MSI-X, MSI, Legacy. If specifying MSI (IntMode=1) | ||
213 | interrupts, only MSI and Legacy will be attempted. | ||
214 | |||
215 | CrcStripping | ||
216 | ------------ | ||
217 | Valid Range: 0-1 | ||
218 | Default Value: 1 (enabled) | ||
219 | |||
220 | Strip the CRC from received packets before sending up the network stack. If | ||
221 | you have a machine with a BMC enabled but cannot receive IPMI traffic after | ||
222 | loading or enabling the driver, try disabling this feature. | ||
223 | |||
224 | WriteProtectNVM | ||
225 | --------------- | ||
226 | Valid Range: 0-1 | ||
227 | Default Value: 1 (enabled) | ||
228 | |||
229 | Set the hardware to ignore all write/erase cycles to the GbE region in the | ||
230 | ICHx NVM (non-volatile memory). This feature can be disabled by the | ||
231 | WriteProtectNVM module parameter (enabled by default) only after a hardware | ||
232 | reset, but the machine must be power cycled before trying to enable writes. | ||
233 | |||
234 | Note: the kernel boot option iomem=relaxed may need to be set if the kernel | ||
235 | config option CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y, if the root user wants to write the | ||
236 | NVM from user space via ethtool. | ||
237 | |||
238 | Additional Configurations | ||
239 | ========================= | ||
240 | |||
241 | Jumbo Frames | ||
242 | ------------ | ||
243 | Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than | ||
244 | the default of 1500. Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. | ||
245 | For example: | ||
246 | |||
247 | ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up | ||
248 | |||
249 | This setting is not saved across reboots. | ||
250 | |||
251 | Notes: | ||
252 | |||
253 | - The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9216. This value coincides | ||
254 | with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9234 bytes. | ||
255 | |||
256 | - Using Jumbo Frames at 10 or 100 Mbps is not supported and may result in | ||
257 | poor performance or loss of link. | ||
258 | |||
259 | - Some adapters limit Jumbo Frames sized packets to a maximum of | ||
260 | 4096 bytes and some adapters do not support Jumbo Frames. | ||
261 | |||
262 | |||
263 | Ethtool | ||
264 | ------- | ||
265 | The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and | ||
266 | diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. We | ||
267 | strongly recommend downloading the latest version of Ethtool at: | ||
268 | |||
269 | http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel. | ||
270 | |||
271 | Speed and Duplex | ||
272 | ---------------- | ||
273 | Speed and Duplex are configured through the Ethtool* utility. For | ||
274 | instructions, refer to the Ethtool man page. | ||
275 | |||
276 | Enabling Wake on LAN* (WoL) | ||
277 | --------------------------- | ||
278 | WoL is configured through the Ethtool* utility. For instructions on | ||
279 | enabling WoL with Ethtool, refer to the Ethtool man page. | ||
280 | |||
281 | WoL will be enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot. | ||
282 | For this driver version, in order to enable WoL, the e1000e driver must be | ||
283 | loaded when shutting down or rebooting the system. | ||
284 | |||
285 | In most cases Wake On LAN is only supported on port A for multiple port | ||
286 | adapters. To verify if a port supports Wake on LAN run ethtool eth<X>. | ||
287 | |||

16 | |||
17 | This driver supports all 82575, 82576 and 82580-based Intel (R) gigabit network | ||
18 | connections. | ||
19 | |||
20 | For specific information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter & | ||

24 | |||
25 | Command Line Parameters | ||
26 | ======================= | ||
27 | |||
28 | The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting, | ||
29 | unless otherwise noted. | ||
30 | |||
31 | max_vfs | ||
32 | ------- | ||
33 | Valid Range: 0-7 | ||
34 | Default Value: 0 | ||
35 | |||
36 | This parameter adds support for SR-IOV. It causes the driver to spawn up to | ||
37 | max_vfs worth of virtual function. | ||
38 | |||
39 | Additional Configurations | ||
40 | ========================= | ||
41 | |||
42 | Jumbo Frames | ||
43 | ------------ | ||
44 | Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than | ||
45 | the default of 1500. Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. | ||
46 | For example: | ||
47 | |||
48 | ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up | ||
49 | |||
50 | This setting is not saved across reboots. | ||
51 | |||
52 | Notes: | ||
53 | |||
54 | - The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9216. This value coincides | ||
55 | with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9234 bytes. | ||
56 | |||
57 | - Using Jumbo Frames at 10 or 100 Mbps may result in poor performance or | ||
58 | loss of link. | ||
59 | |||
60 | Ethtool | ||
61 | ------- | ||
62 | The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and | ||
63 | diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. | ||
64 | |||
65 | http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel. | ||
66 | |||
67 | Enabling Wake on LAN* (WoL) | ||
68 | --------------------------- | ||
69 | WoL is configured through the Ethtool* utility. | ||
70 | |||
71 | For instructions on enabling WoL with Ethtool, refer to the Ethtool man page. | ||
72 | |||
73 | WoL will be enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot. | ||
74 | For this driver version, in order to enable WoL, the igb driver must be | ||
75 | loaded when shutting down or rebooting the system. | ||
76 | |||
77 | Wake On LAN is only supported on port A of multi-port adapters. | ||
78 | |||
79 | Wake On LAN is not supported for the Intel(R) Gigabit VT Quad Port Server | ||
80 | Adapter. | ||
81 | |||
82 | Multiqueue | ||
83 | ---------- | ||
84 | In this mode, a separate MSI-X vector is allocated for each queue and one | ||
85 | for "other" interrupts such as link status change and errors. All | ||
86 | interrupts are throttled via interrupt moderation. Interrupt moderation | ||
87 | must be used to avoid interrupt storms while the driver is processing one | ||
88 | interrupt. The moderation value should be at least as large as the expected | ||
89 | time for the driver to process an interrupt. Multiqueue is off by default. | ||
90 | |||
91 | REQUIREMENTS: MSI-X support is required for Multiqueue. If MSI-X is not | ||
92 | found, the system will fallback to MSI or to Legacy interrupts. | ||
93 | |||
94 | LRO | ||
95 | --- | ||
96 | Large Receive Offload (LRO) is a technique for increasing inbound throughput | ||
97 | of high-bandwidth network connections by reducing CPU overhead. It works by | ||
98 | aggregating multiple incoming packets from a single stream into a larger | ||
99 | buffer before they are passed higher up the networking stack, thus reducing | ||
100 | the number of packets that have to be processed. LRO combines multiple | ||
101 | Ethernet frames into a single receive in the stack, thereby potentially | ||
102 | decreasing CPU utilization for receives. | ||
103 | |||
104 | NOTE: You need to have inet_lro enabled via either the CONFIG_INET_LRO or | ||
105 | CONFIG_INET_LRO_MODULE kernel config option. Additionally, if | ||
106 | CONFIG_INET_LRO_MODULE is used, the inet_lro module needs to be loaded | ||
107 | before the igb driver. | ||
108 | |||
109 | You can verify that the driver is using LRO by looking at these counters in | ||
110 | Ethtool: | ||
111 | |||
112 | lro_aggregated - count of total packets that were combined | ||
113 | lro_flushed - counts the number of packets flushed out of LRO | ||
114 | lro_no_desc - counts the number of times an LRO descriptor was not available | ||
115 | for the LRO packet | ||
116 | |||
117 | NOTE: IPv6 and UDP are not supported by LRO. | ||

14 | This file describes the igbvf Linux* Base Driver for Intel Network Connection. | ||
15 | |||
16 | The igbvf driver supports 82576-based virtual function devices that can only | ||
17 | be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV. SR-IOV requires the correct | ||
18 | platform and OS support. | ||
19 | |||
20 | The igbvf driver requires the igb driver, version 2.0 or later. The igbvf | ||
21 | driver supports virtual functions generated by the igb driver with a max_vfs | ||
22 | value of 1 or greater. For more information on the max_vfs parameter refer | ||
23 | to the README included with the igb driver. | ||
24 | |||
25 | The guest OS loading the igbvf driver must support MSI-X interrupts. | ||
26 | |||
27 | This driver is only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel is | ||
28 | not supplying patches against the kernel source to allow for static linking | ||
29 | of the driver. For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the | ||
30 | documentation supplied with your Intel Gigabit adapter. All hardware | ||
31 | requirements listed apply to use with Linux. | ||
32 | |||
33 | Instructions on updating ethtool can be found in the section "Additional | ||
34 | Configurations" later in this document. | ||
35 | |||
36 | VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 32 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs. | ||

17 | History | ||
18 | ======= | ||
19 | |||
20 | The original pppol2tp driver was introduced in 2.6.23 and provided | ||
21 | L2TPv2 functionality (rfc2661). L2TPv2 is used to tunnel one or more PPP | ||
22 | sessions over a UDP tunnel. | ||
23 | |||
24 | L2TPv3 (rfc3931) changes the protocol to allow different frame types | ||
25 | to be passed over an L2TP tunnel by moving the PPP-specific parts of | ||
26 | the protocol out of the core L2TP packet headers. Each frame type is | ||
27 | known as a pseudowire type. Ethernet, PPP, HDLC, Frame Relay and ATM | ||
28 | pseudowires for L2TP are defined in separate RFC standards. Another | ||
29 | change for L2TPv3 is that it can be carried directly over IP with no | ||
30 | UDP header (UDP is optional). It is also possible to create static | ||
31 | unmanaged L2TPv3 tunnels manually without a control protocol | ||
32 | (userspace daemon) to manage them. | ||
33 | |||
34 | To support L2TPv3, the original pppol2tp driver was split up to | ||
35 | separate the L2TP and PPP functionality. Existing L2TPv2 userspace | ||
36 | apps should be unaffected as the original pppol2tp sockets API is | ||
37 | retained. L2TPv3, however, uses netlink to manage L2TPv3 tunnels and | ||
38 | sessions. | ||

55 | indirectly by pppd using a pppol2tp socket. In the case of ethernet, | ||
56 | the netdevice is created upon a netlink request to create an L2TPv3 | ||
57 | ethernet pseudowire. | ||
58 | |||
59 | For PPP, the PPPoL2TP driver, net/l2tp/l2tp_ppp.c, provides a | ||
60 | mechanism by which PPP frames carried through an L2TP session are | ||
61 | passed through the kernel's PPP subsystem. The standard PPP daemon, | ||
62 | pppd, handles all PPP interaction with the peer. PPP network | ||

67 | For ethernet, the L2TPETH driver, net/l2tp/l2tp_eth.c, implements a | ||
68 | netdevice driver, managing virtual ethernet devices, one per | ||
69 | pseudowire. These interfaces can be managed using standard Linux tools | ||
70 | such as "ip" and "ifconfig". If only IP frames are passed over the | ||
71 | tunnel, the interface can be given an IP addresses of itself and its | ||
72 | peer. If non-IP frames are to be passed over the tunnel, the interface | ||
73 | can be added to a bridge using brctl. All L2TP datapath protocol | ||
74 | functions are handled by the L2TP core driver. | ||

140 | For L2TPv3, userspace must use the netlink API defined in | ||

142 | general procedure to create a new L2TP tunnel with one session is:- | ||
143 | |||
144 | 1. Open a GENL socket using L2TP_GENL_NAME for configuring the kernel | ||
145 | using netlink. | ||
146 | |||
147 | 2. Create a UDP or L2TPIP socket for the tunnel. | ||
148 | |||
149 | 3. Create a new L2TP tunnel using a L2TP_CMD_TUNNEL_CREATE | ||
150 | request. Set attributes according to desired tunnel parameters, | ||
151 | referencing the UDP or L2TPIP socket created in the previous step. | ||
152 | |||
153 | 4. Create a new L2TP session in the tunnel using a | ||
154 | L2TP_CMD_SESSION_CREATE request. | ||
155 | |||
156 | The tunnel and all of its sessions are closed when the tunnel socket | ||
157 | is closed. The netlink API may also be used to delete sessions and | ||
158 | tunnels. Configuration and status info may be set or read using netlink. | ||
159 | |||
160 | The L2TP driver also supports static (unmanaged) L2TPv3 tunnels. These | ||
161 | are where there is no L2TP control message exchange with the peer to | ||
162 | setup the tunnel; the tunnel is configured manually at each end of the | ||
163 | tunnel. There is no need for an L2TP userspace application in this | ||
164 | case -- the tunnel socket is created by the kernel and configured | ||
165 | using parameters sent in the L2TP_CMD_TUNNEL_CREATE netlink | ||
166 | request. The "ip" utility of iproute2 has commands for managing static | ||
167 | L2TPv3 tunnels; do "ip l2tp help" for more information. | ||

209 | configured at each side manually. New commands are available in | ||

212 | To create an L2TPv3 ethernet pseudowire between local host 192.168.1.1 | ||
213 | and peer 192.168.1.2, using IP addresses 10.5.1.1 and 10.5.1.2 for the | ||
214 | tunnel endpoints:- | ||

304 | Internal Implementation | ||
305 | ======================= | ||
306 | |||
307 | The driver keeps a struct l2tp_tunnel context per L2TP tunnel and a | ||
308 | struct l2tp_session context for each session. The l2tp_tunnel is | ||
309 | always associated with a UDP or L2TP/IP socket and keeps a list of | ||
310 | sessions in the tunnel. The l2tp_session context keeps kernel state | ||
311 | about the session. It has private data which is used for data specific | ||
312 | to the session type. With L2TPv2, the session always carried PPP | ||
313 | traffic. With L2TPv3, the session can also carry ethernet frames | ||
314 | (ethernet pseudowire) or other data types such as ATM, HDLC or Frame | ||
315 | Relay. | ||
316 | |||
317 | When a tunnel is first opened, the reference count on the socket is | ||
318 | increased using sock_hold(). This ensures that the kernel socket | ||
319 | cannot be removed while L2TP's data structures reference it. | ||
320 | |||
321 | Some L2TP sessions also have a socket (PPP pseudowires) while others | ||
322 | do not (ethernet pseudowires). We can't use the socket reference count | ||
323 | as the reference count for session contexts. The L2TP implementation | ||
324 | therefore has its own internal reference counts on the session | ||
325 | contexts. | ||
326 | |||
327 | To Do | ||
328 | ===== | ||
329 | |||
330 | Add L2TP tunnel switching support. This would route tunneled traffic | ||
331 | from one L2TP tunnel into another. Specified in | ||

198 | for this situation, a configuration option has been provided | ||
199 | (i.e. CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB). With this option enabled, | ||
200 | the wireless database information contained in net/wireless/db.txt is | ||
201 | used to generate a data structure encoded in net/wireless/regdb.c. | ||
202 | That option also enables code in net/wireless/reg.c which queries | ||
203 | the data in regdb.c as an alternative to using CRDA. | ||
204 | |||
205 | The file net/wireless/db.txt should be kept up-to-date with the db.txt | ||
206 | file available in the git repository here: | ||
207 | |||
208 | git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-regdb.git | ||
209 | |||
210 | Again, most users in most situations should be using the CRDA package | ||
211 | provided with their distribution, and in most other situations users | ||
212 | should be building and using CRDA on their own rather than using | ||
213 | this option. If you are not absolutely sure that you should be using | ||
214 | CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB then _DO_NOT_USE_IT_. | ||

2 | |||
3 | Copyright (C) 2007-2010 STMicroelectronics Ltd | ||
4 | Author: Giuseppe Cavallaro <peppe.cavallaro@st.com> | ||
5 | |||
6 | This is the driver for the MAC 10/100/1000 on-chip Ethernet controllers | ||
7 | (Synopsys IP blocks); it has been fully tested on STLinux platforms. | ||
8 | |||
9 | Currently this network device driver is for all STM embedded MAC/GMAC | ||
10 | (7xxx SoCs). | ||
11 | |||
12 | DWC Ether MAC 10/100/1000 Universal version 3.41a and DWC Ether MAC 10/100 | ||
13 | Universal version 4.0 have been used for developing the first code | ||
14 | implementation. | ||
15 | |||
16 | Please, for more information also visit: www.stlinux.com | ||
17 | |||
18 | 1) Kernel Configuration | ||
19 | The kernel configuration option is STMMAC_ETH: | ||
20 | Device Drivers ---> Network device support ---> Ethernet (1000 Mbit) ---> | ||
21 | STMicroelectronics 10/100/1000 Ethernet driver (STMMAC_ETH) | ||
22 | |||
23 | 2) Driver parameters list: | ||
24 | debug: message level (0: no output, 16: all); | ||
25 | phyaddr: to manually provide the physical address to the PHY device; | ||
26 | dma_rxsize: DMA rx ring size; | ||
27 | dma_txsize: DMA tx ring size; | ||
28 | buf_sz: DMA buffer size; | ||
29 | tc: control the HW FIFO threshold; | ||
30 | tx_coe: Enable/Disable Tx Checksum Offload engine; | ||
31 | watchdog: transmit timeout (in milliseconds); | ||
32 | flow_ctrl: Flow control ability [on/off]; | ||
33 | pause: Flow Control Pause Time; | ||
34 | tmrate: timer period (only if timer optimisation is configured). | ||
35 | |||
36 | 3) Command line options | ||
37 | Driver parameters can be also passed in command line by using: | ||
38 | stmmaceth=dma_rxsize:128,dma_txsize:512 | ||
39 | |||
40 | 4) Driver information and notes | ||
41 | |||
42 | 4.1) Transmit process | ||
43 | The xmit method is invoked when the kernel needs to transmit a packet; it sets | ||
44 | the descriptors in the ring and informs the DMA engine that there is a packet | ||
45 | ready to be transmitted. | ||
46 | Once the controller has finished transmitting the packet, an interrupt is | ||
47 | triggered; So the driver will be able to release the socket buffers. | ||
48 | By default, the driver sets the NETIF_F_SG bit in the features field of the | ||
49 | net_device structure enabling the scatter/gather feature. | ||
50 | |||
51 | 4.2) Receive process | ||
52 | When one or more packets are received, an interrupt happens. The interrupts | ||
53 | are not queued so the driver has to scan all the descriptors in the ring during | ||
54 | the receive process. | ||
55 | This is based on NAPI so the interrupt handler signals only if there is work to be | ||
56 | done, and it exits. | ||
57 | Then the poll method will be scheduled at some future point. | ||
58 | The incoming packets are stored, by the DMA, in a list of pre-allocated socket | ||
59 | buffers in order to avoid the memcpy (Zero-copy). | ||
60 | |||
61 | 4.3) Timer-Driver Interrupt | ||
62 | Instead of having the device that asynchronously notifies the frame receptions, the | ||
63 | driver configures a timer to generate an interrupt at regular intervals. | ||
64 | Based on the granularity of the timer, the frames that are received by the device | ||
65 | will experience different levels of latency. Some NICs have dedicated timer | ||
66 | device to perform this task. STMMAC can use either the RTC device or the TMU | ||
67 | channel 2 on STLinux platforms. | ||
68 | The timers frequency can be passed to the driver as parameter; when change it, | ||
69 | take care of both hardware capability and network stability/performance impact. | ||
70 | Several performance tests on STM platforms showed this optimisation allows to spare | ||
71 | the CPU while having the maximum throughput. | ||
72 | |||
73 | 4.4) WOL | ||
74 | Wake up on Lan feature through Magic Frame is only supported for the GMAC | ||
75 | core. | ||
76 | |||
77 | 4.5) DMA descriptors | ||
78 | Driver handles both normal and enhanced descriptors. The latter has been only | ||
79 | tested on DWC Ether MAC 10/100/1000 Universal version 3.41a. | ||
80 | |||
81 | 4.6) Ethtool support | ||
82 | Ethtool is supported. Driver statistics and internal errors can be taken using: | ||
83 | ethtool -S ethX command. It is possible to dump registers etc. | ||
84 | |||
85 | 4.7) Jumbo and Segmentation Offloading | ||
86 | Jumbo frames are supported and tested for the GMAC. | ||
87 | The GSO has been also added but it's performed in software. | ||
88 | LRO is not supported. | ||
89 | |||
90 | 4.8) Physical | ||
91 | The driver is compatible with PAL to work with PHY and GPHY devices. | ||
92 | |||
93 | 4.9) Platform information | ||
94 | Several information came from the platform; please refer to the | ||
95 | driver's Header file in include/linux directory. | ||

131 | - interface: physical MII interface mode; | ||
132 | - phy_reset: hook to reset HW function. | ||
133 | |||
134 | TODO: | ||
135 | - Continue to make the driver more generic and suitable for other Synopsys | ||
136 | Ethernet controllers used on other architectures (i.e. ARM). | ||
137 | - 10G controllers are not supported. | ||
138 | - MAC uses Normal descriptors and GMAC uses enhanced ones. | ||
139 | This is a limit that should be reviewed. MAC could want to | ||
140 | use the enhanced structure. | ||
141 | - Checksumming: Rx/Tx csum is done in HW in case of GMAC only. | ||
142 | - Review the timer optimisation code to use an embedded device that seems to be | ||
143 | available in new chip generations. | ||

1 | Thin-streams and TCP | ||
2 | ==================== | ||
3 | A wide range of Internet-based services that use reliable transport | ||
4 | protocols display what we call thin-stream properties. This means | ||
5 | that the application sends data with such a low rate that the | ||
6 | retransmission mechanisms of the transport protocol are not fully | ||
7 | effective. In time-dependent scenarios (like online games, control | ||
8 | systems, stock trading etc.) where the user experience depends | ||
9 | on the data delivery latency, packet loss can be devastating for | ||
10 | the service quality. Extreme latencies are caused by TCP's | ||
11 | dependency on the arrival of new data from the application to trigger | ||
12 | retransmissions effectively through fast retransmit instead of | ||
13 | waiting for long timeouts. | ||
14 | |||
15 | After analysing a large number of time-dependent interactive | ||
16 | applications, we have seen that they often produce thin streams | ||
17 | and also stay with this traffic pattern throughout its entire | ||
18 | lifespan. The combination of time-dependency and the fact that the | ||
19 | streams provoke high latencies when using TCP is unfortunate. | ||
20 | |||
21 | In order to reduce application-layer latency when packets are lost, | ||
22 | a set of mechanisms has been made, which address these latency issues | ||
23 | for thin streams. In short, if the kernel detects a thin stream, | ||
24 | the retransmission mechanisms are modified in the following manner: | ||
25 | |||
26 | 1) If the stream is thin, fast retransmit on the first dupACK. | ||
27 | 2) If the stream is thin, do not apply exponential backoff. | ||
28 | |||
29 | These enhancements are applied only if the stream is detected as | ||
30 | thin. This is accomplished by defining a threshold for the number | ||
31 | of packets in flight. If there are less than 4 packets in flight, | ||
32 | fast retransmissions can not be triggered, and the stream is prone | ||
33 | to experience high retransmission latencies. | ||
34 | |||
35 | Since these mechanisms are targeted at time-dependent applications, | ||
36 | they must be specifically activated by the application using the | ||
37 | TCP_THIN_LINEAR_TIMEOUTS and TCP_THIN_DUPACK IOCTLS or the | ||
38 | tcp_thin_linear_timeouts and tcp_thin_dupack sysctls. Both | ||
39 | modifications are turned off by default. | ||

1 | The padata parallel execution mechanism | ||
2 | Last updated for 2.6.36 | ||
3 | |||
4 | Padata is a mechanism by which the kernel can farm work out to be done in | ||
5 | parallel on multiple CPUs while retaining the ordering of tasks. It was | ||
6 | developed for use with the IPsec code, which needs to be able to perform | ||
7 | encryption and decryption on large numbers of packets without reordering | ||
8 | those packets. The crypto developers made a point of writing padata in a | ||
9 | sufficiently general fashion that it could be put to other uses as well. | ||
10 | |||
11 | The first step in using padata is to set up a padata_instance structure for | ||
12 | overall control of how tasks are to be run: | ||
13 | |||
14 | #include <linux/padata.h> | ||
15 | |||
16 | struct padata_instance *padata_alloc(struct workqueue_struct *wq, | ||
17 | const struct cpumask *pcpumask, | ||
18 | const struct cpumask *cbcpumask); | ||
19 | |||
20 | The pcpumask describes which processors will be used to execute work | ||
21 | submitted to this instance in parallel. The cbcpumask defines which | ||
22 | processors are allowed to be used as the serialization callback processor. | ||
23 | The workqueue wq is where the work will actually be done; it should be | ||
24 | a multithreaded queue, naturally. | ||
25 | |||
26 | To allocate a padata instance with the cpu_possible_mask for both | ||
27 | cpumasks this helper function can be used: | ||
28 | |||
29 | struct padata_instance *padata_alloc_possible(struct workqueue_struct *wq); | ||
30 | |||
31 | Note: Padata maintains two kinds of cpumasks internally. The user supplied | ||
32 | cpumasks, submitted by padata_alloc/padata_alloc_possible and the 'usable' | ||
33 | cpumasks. The usable cpumasks are always a subset of active CPUs in the | ||
34 | user supplied cpumasks; these are the cpumasks padata actually uses. So | ||
35 | it is legal to supply a cpumask to padata that contains offline CPUs. | ||
36 | Once an offline CPU in the user supplied cpumask comes online, padata | ||
37 | is going to use it. | ||
38 | |||
39 | There are functions for enabling and disabling the instance: | ||
40 | |||
41 | int padata_start(struct padata_instance *pinst); | ||
42 | void padata_stop(struct padata_instance *pinst); | ||
43 | |||
44 | These functions are setting or clearing the "PADATA_INIT" flag; | ||
45 | if that flag is not set, other functions will refuse to work. | ||
46 | padata_start returns zero on success (flag set) or -EINVAL if the | ||
47 | padata cpumask contains no active CPU (flag not set). | ||
48 | padata_stop clears the flag and blocks until the padata instance | ||
49 | is unused. | ||
50 | |||
51 | The list of CPUs to be used can be adjusted with these functions: | ||
52 | |||
53 | int padata_set_cpumasks(struct padata_instance *pinst, | ||
54 | cpumask_var_t pcpumask, | ||
55 | cpumask_var_t cbcpumask); | ||
56 | int padata_set_cpumask(struct padata_instance *pinst, int cpumask_type, | ||
57 | cpumask_var_t cpumask); | ||
58 | int padata_add_cpu(struct padata_instance *pinst, int cpu, int mask); | ||
59 | int padata_remove_cpu(struct padata_instance *pinst, int cpu, int mask); | ||
60 | |||
61 | Changing the CPU masks are expensive operations, though, so it should not be | ||
62 | done with great frequency. | ||
63 | |||
64 | It's possible to change both cpumasks of a padata instance with | ||
65 | padata_set_cpumasks by specifying the cpumasks for parallel execution (pcpumask) | ||
66 | and for the serial callback function (cbcpumask). padata_set_cpumask is used to | ||
67 | change just one of the cpumasks. Here cpumask_type is one of PADATA_CPU_SERIAL, | ||
68 | PADATA_CPU_PARALLEL and cpumask specifies the new cpumask to use. | ||
69 | To simply add or remove one CPU from a certain cpumask the functions | ||
70 | padata_add_cpu/padata_remove_cpu are used. cpu specifies the CPU to add or | ||
71 | remove and mask is one of PADATA_CPU_SERIAL, PADATA_CPU_PARALLEL. | ||
72 | |||
73 | If a user is interested in padata cpumask changes, he can register to | ||
74 | the padata cpumask change notifier: | ||
75 | |||
76 | int padata_register_cpumask_notifier(struct padata_instance *pinst, | ||
77 | struct notifier_block *nblock); | ||
78 | |||
79 | To unregister from that notifier: | ||
80 | |||
81 | int padata_unregister_cpumask_notifier(struct padata_instance *pinst, | ||
82 | struct notifier_block *nblock); | ||
83 | |||
84 | The padata cpumask change notifier notifies about changes of the usable | ||
85 | cpumasks, i.e. the subset of active CPUs in the user supplied cpumask. | ||
86 | |||
87 | Padata calls the notifier chain with: | ||
88 | |||
89 | blocking_notifier_call_chain(&pinst->cpumask_change_notifier, | ||
90 | notification_mask, | ||
91 | &pd_new->cpumask); | ||
92 | |||
93 | Here cpumask_change_notifier is registered notifier, notification_mask | ||
94 | is one of PADATA_CPU_SERIAL, PADATA_CPU_PARALLEL and cpumask is a pointer | ||
95 | to a struct padata_cpumask that contains the new cpumask information. | ||
96 | |||
97 | Actually submitting work to the padata instance requires the creation of a | ||
98 | padata_priv structure: | ||
99 | |||
100 | struct padata_priv { | ||
101 | /* Other stuff here... */ | ||
102 | void (*parallel)(struct padata_priv *padata); | ||
103 | void (*serial)(struct padata_priv *padata); | ||
104 | }; | ||
105 | |||
106 | This structure will almost certainly be embedded within some larger | ||
107 | structure specific to the work to be done. Most of its fields are private to | ||
108 | padata, but the structure should be zeroed at initialisation time, and the | ||
109 | parallel() and serial() functions should be provided. Those functions will | ||
110 | be called in the process of getting the work done as we will see | ||
111 | momentarily. | ||
112 | |||
113 | The submission of work is done with: | ||
114 | |||
115 | int padata_do_parallel(struct padata_instance *pinst, | ||
116 | struct padata_priv *padata, int cb_cpu); | ||
117 | |||
118 | The pinst and padata structures must be set up as described above; cb_cpu | ||
119 | specifies which CPU will be used for the final callback when the work is | ||
120 | done; it must be in the current instance's CPU mask. The return value from | ||
121 | padata_do_parallel() is zero on success, indicating that the work is in | ||
122 | progress. -EBUSY means that somebody, somewhere else is messing with the | ||
123 | instance's CPU mask, while -EINVAL is a complaint about cb_cpu not being | ||
124 | in that CPU mask or about a not running instance. | ||
125 | |||
126 | Each task submitted to padata_do_parallel() will, in turn, be passed to | ||
127 | exactly one call to the above-mentioned parallel() function, on one CPU, so | ||
128 | true parallelism is achieved by submitting multiple tasks. Despite the | ||
129 | fact that the workqueue is used to make these calls, parallel() is run with | ||
130 | software interrupts disabled and thus cannot sleep. The parallel() | ||
131 | function gets the padata_priv structure pointer as its lone parameter; | ||
132 | information about the actual work to be done is probably obtained by using | ||
133 | container_of() to find the enclosing structure. | ||
134 | |||
135 | Note that parallel() has no return value; the padata subsystem assumes that | ||
136 | parallel() will take responsibility for the task from this point. The work | ||
137 | need not be completed during this call, but, if parallel() leaves work | ||
138 | outstanding, it should be prepared to be called again with a new job before | ||
139 | the previous one completes. When a task does complete, parallel() (or | ||
140 | whatever function actually finishes the job) should inform padata of the | ||
141 | fact with a call to: | ||
142 | |||
143 | void padata_do_serial(struct padata_priv *padata); | ||
144 | |||
145 | At some point in the future, padata_do_serial() will trigger a call to the | ||
146 | serial() function in the padata_priv structure. That call will happen on | ||
147 | the CPU requested in the initial call to padata_do_parallel(); it, too, is | ||
148 | done through the workqueue, but with local software interrupts disabled. | ||

113 | ----------------------------------- | 141 | ----------------------------------- |
114 | PCI framework software calls these methods when the PCI device driver bound | 142 | All devices in the driver model have two flags to control handling of wakeup |
115 | to a device device has provided them: | 143 | events (hardware signals that can force the device and/or system out of a low |
116 | 144 | power state). These flags are initialized by bus or device driver code using | |
117 | struct pci_driver { | 145 | device_set_wakeup_capable() and device_set_wakeup_enable(), defined in |
118 | ... | 146 | include/linux/pm_wakeup.h. |
119 | int (*suspend)(struct pci_device *pdev, pm_message_t state); | ||
120 | int (*suspend_late)(struct pci_device *pdev, pm_message_t state); | ||
121 | 147 | ||
122 | int (*resume_early)(struct pci_device *pdev); | 148 | The "can_wakeup" flag just records whether the device (and its driver) can |
123 | int (*resume)(struct pci_device *pdev); | 149 | physically support wakeup events. The device_set_wakeup_capable() routine |
124 | }; | 150 | affects this flag. The "should_wakeup" flag controls whether the device should |
125 | 151 | try to use its wakeup mechanism. device_set_wakeup_enable() affects this flag; | |
126 | Drivers will implement those methods, and call PCI-specific procedures | 152 | for the most part drivers should not change its value. The initial value of |
127 | like pci_set_power_state(), pci_enable_wake(), pci_save_state(), and | 153 | should_wakeup is supposed to be false for the majority of devices; the major |

129 | could be saved during driver probe, if it weren't for the fact that some | 155 | (wake-on-LAN) feature has been set up with ethtool. |
130 | systems rely on userspace tweaking using setpci.) Devices are suspended | 156 | |

133 | 159 | whether or not a wakeup-capable device should issue wakeup events is a policy | |
134 | 160 | decision, and it is managed by user space through a sysfs attribute: the | |
135 | Upper Layers of Driver Stacks | 161 | power/wakeup file. User space can write the strings "enabled" or "disabled" to |
136 | ----------------------------- | 162 | set or clear the should_wakeup flag, respectively. Reads from the file will |
137 | Device drivers generally have at least two interfaces, and the methods | 163 | return the corresponding string if can_wakeup is true, but if can_wakeup is |

140 | level interfaces, as is a character device talking to userspace. | 166 | will still affect the should_wakeup flag.) |

203 | Suspending Devices | 241 | System Power Management Phases |
204 | ------------------ | 242 | ------------------------------ |
205 | Suspending a given device is done in several phases. Suspending the | 243 | Suspending or resuming the system is done in several phases. Different phases |
206 | system always includes every phase, executing calls for every device | 244 | are used for standby or memory sleep states ("suspend-to-RAM") and the |
207 | before the next phase begins. Not all busses or classes support all | 245 | hibernation state ("suspend-to-disk"). Each phase involves executing callbacks |
208 | these callbacks; and not all drivers use all the callbacks. | 246 | for every device before the next phase begins. Not all busses or classes |
247 | support all these callbacks and not all drivers use all the callbacks. The | ||
248 | various phases always run after tasks have been frozen and before they are | ||
249 | unfrozen. Furthermore, the *_noirq phases run at a time when IRQ handlers have | ||
250 | been disabled (except for those marked with the IRQ_WAKEUP flag). | ||
209 | 251 | ||
210 | The phases are seen by driver notifications issued in this order: | 252 | Most phases use bus, type, and class callbacks (that is, methods defined in |
253 | dev->bus->pm, dev->type->pm, and dev->class->pm). The prepare and complete | ||
254 | phases are exceptions; they use only bus callbacks. When multiple callbacks | ||
255 | are used in a phase, they are invoked in the order: <class, type, bus> during | ||
256 | power-down transitions and in the opposite order during power-up transitions. | ||
257 | For example, during the suspend phase the PM core invokes | ||
211 | 258 | ||
212 | 1 class.suspend(dev, message) is called after tasks are frozen, for | 259 | dev->class->pm.suspend(dev); |
213 | devices associated with a class that has such a method. This | 260 | dev->type->pm.suspend(dev); |
214 | method may sleep. | 261 | dev->bus->pm.suspend(dev); |
215 | 262 | ||
216 | Since I/O activity usually comes from such higher layers, this is | 263 | before moving on to the next device, whereas during the resume phase the core |
217 | a good place to quiesce all drivers of a given type (and keep such | 264 | invokes |
218 | code out of those drivers). | ||
219 | 265 | ||
220 | 2 bus.suspend(dev, message) is called next. This method may sleep, | 266 | dev->bus->pm.resume(dev); |
221 | and is often morphed into a device driver call with bus-specific | 267 | dev->type->pm.resume(dev); |
222 | parameters and/or rules. | 268 | dev->class->pm.resume(dev); |
223 | 269 | ||
224 | This call should handle parts of device suspend logic that require | 270 | These callbacks may in turn invoke device- or driver-specific methods stored in |
225 | sleeping. It probably does work to quiesce the device which hasn't | 271 | dev->driver->pm, but they don't have to. |
226 | been abstracted into class.suspend(). | ||
227 | 272 | ||
228 | The pm_message_t parameter is currently used to refine those semantics | ||
229 | (described later). | ||
230 | 273 | ||
231 | At the end of those phases, drivers should normally have stopped all I/O | 274 | Entering System Suspend |
232 | transactions (DMA, IRQs), saved enough state that they can re-initialize | 275 | ----------------------- |
233 | or restore previous state (as needed by the hardware), and placed the | 276 | When the system goes into the standby or memory sleep state, the phases are: |
234 | device into a low-power state. On many platforms they will also use | 277 | |
235 | clk_disable() to gate off one or more clock sources; sometimes they will | 278 | prepare, suspend, suspend_noirq. |
236 | also switch off power supplies, or reduce voltages. Drivers which have | 279 | |
237 | runtime PM support may already have performed some or all of the steps | 280 | 1. The prepare phase is meant to prevent races by preventing new devices |
238 | needed to prepare for the upcoming system sleep state. | 281 | from being registered; the PM core would never know that all the |
282 | children of a device had been suspended if new children could be | ||
283 | registered at will. (By contrast, devices may be unregistered at any | ||
284 | time.) Unlike the other suspend-related phases, during the prepare | ||
285 | phase the device tree is traversed top-down. | ||
286 | |||
287 | The prepare phase uses only a bus callback. After the callback method | ||
288 | returns, no new children may be registered below the device. The method | ||
289 | may also prepare the device or driver in some way for the upcoming | ||
290 | system power transition, but it should not put the device into a | ||
291 | low-power state. | ||
292 | |||
293 | 2. The suspend methods should quiesce the device to stop it from performing | ||
294 | I/O. They also may save the device registers and put it into the | ||
295 | appropriate low-power state, depending on the bus type the device is on, | ||
296 | and they may enable wakeup events. | ||
297 | |||
298 | 3. The suspend_noirq phase occurs after IRQ handlers have been disabled, | ||
299 | which means that the driver's interrupt handler will not be called while | ||
300 | the callback method is running. The methods should save the values of | ||
301 | the device's registers that weren't saved previously and finally put the | ||
302 | device into the appropriate low-power state. | ||
303 | |||
304 | The majority of subsystems and device drivers need not implement this | ||
305 | callback. However, bus types allowing devices to share interrupt | ||
306 | vectors, like PCI, generally need it; otherwise a driver might encounter | ||
307 | an error during the suspend phase by fielding a shared interrupt | ||
308 | generated by some other device after its own device had been set to low | ||
309 | power. | ||
310 | |||
311 | At the end of these phases, drivers should have stopped all I/O transactions | ||
312 | (DMA, IRQs), saved enough state that they can re-initialize or restore previous | ||
313 | state (as needed by the hardware), and placed the device into a low-power state. | ||
314 | On many platforms they will gate off one or more clock sources; sometimes they | ||
315 | will also switch off power supplies or reduce voltages. (Drivers supporting | ||
316 | runtime PM may already have performed some or all of these steps.) | ||
317 | |||
318 | If device_may_wakeup(dev) returns true, the device should be prepared for | ||
319 | generating hardware wakeup signals to trigger a system wakeup event when the | ||
320 | system is in the sleep state. For example, enable_irq_wake() might identify | ||
321 | GPIO signals hooked up to a switch or other external hardware, and | ||
322 | pci_enable_wake() does something similar for the PCI PME signal. | ||
323 | |||
324 | If any of these callbacks returns an error, the system won't enter the desired | ||
325 | low-power state. Instead the PM core will unwind its actions by resuming all | ||
326 | the devices that were suspended. | ||
327 | |||
328 | |||
329 | Leaving System Suspend | ||
330 | ---------------------- | ||
331 | When resuming from standby or memory sleep, the phases are: | ||
332 | |||
333 | resume_noirq, resume, complete. | ||
334 | |||
335 | 1. The resume_noirq callback methods should perform any actions needed | ||
336 | before the driver's interrupt handlers are invoked. This generally | ||
337 | means undoing the actions of the suspend_noirq phase. If the bus type | ||
338 | permits devices to share interrupt vectors, like PCI, the method should | ||
339 | bring the device and its driver into a state in which the driver can | ||
340 | recognize if the device is the source of incoming interrupts, if any, | ||
341 | and handle them correctly. | ||
342 | |||
343 | For example, the PCI bus type's ->pm.resume_noirq() puts the device into | ||
344 | the full-power state (D0 in the PCI terminology) and restores the | ||
345 | standard configuration registers of the device. Then it calls the | ||
346 | device driver's ->pm.resume_noirq() method to perform device-specific | ||
347 | actions. | ||
348 | |||
349 | 2. The resume methods should bring the the device back to its operating | ||
350 | state, so that it can perform normal I/O. This generally involves | ||
351 | undoing the actions of the suspend phase. | ||
352 | |||
353 | 3. The complete phase uses only a bus callback. The method should undo the | ||
354 | actions of the prepare phase. Note, however, that new children may be | ||
355 | registered below the device as soon as the resume callbacks occur; it's | ||
356 | not necessary to wait until the complete phase. | ||
357 | |||
358 | At the end of these phases, drivers should be as functional as they were before | ||
359 | suspending: I/O can be performed using DMA and IRQs, and the relevant clocks are | ||
360 | gated on. Even if the device was in a low-power state before the system sleep | ||
361 | because of runtime power management, afterwards it should be back in its | ||
362 | full-power state. There are multiple reasons why it's best to do this; they are | ||
363 | discussed in more detail in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. | ||
239 | 364 | ||
240 | When any driver sees that its device_can_wakeup(dev), it should make sure | 365 | However, the details here may again be platform-specific. For example, |
241 | to use the relevant hardware signals to trigger a system wakeup event. | 366 | some systems support multiple "run" states, and the mode in effect at |
242 | For example, enable_irq_wake() might identify GPIO signals hooked up to | 367 | the end of resume might not be the one which preceded suspension. |
243 | a switch or other external hardware, and pci_enable_wake() does something | 368 | That means availability of certain clocks or power supplies changed, |
244 | similar for PCI's PME# signal. | 369 | which could easily affect how a driver works. |
370 | |||
371 | Drivers need to be able to handle hardware which has been reset since the | ||
372 | suspend methods were called, for example by complete reinitialization. | ||
373 | This may be the hardest part, and the one most protected by NDA'd documents | ||
374 | and chip errata. It's simplest if the hardware state hasn't changed since | ||
375 | the suspend was carried out, but that can't be guaranteed (in fact, it ususally | ||
376 | is not the case). | ||
377 | |||
378 | Drivers must also be prepared to notice that the device has been removed | ||
379 | while the system was powered down, whenever that's physically possible. | ||
380 | PCMCIA, MMC, USB, Firewire, SCSI, and even IDE are common examples of busses | ||
381 | where common Linux platforms will see such removal. Details of how drivers | ||
382 | will notice and handle such removals are currently bus-specific, and often | ||
383 | involve a separate thread. | ||
384 | |||
385 | These callbacks may return an error value, but the PM core will ignore such | ||
386 | errors since there's nothing it can do about them other than printing them in | ||
387 | the system log. | ||
388 | |||
389 | |||
390 | Entering Hibernation | ||
391 | -------------------- | ||
392 | Hibernating the system is more complicated than putting it into the standby or | ||
393 | memory sleep state, because it involves creating and saving a system image. | ||
394 | Therefore there are more phases for hibernation, with a different set of | ||
395 | callbacks. These phases always run after tasks have been frozen and memory has | ||
396 | been freed. | ||
397 | |||
398 | The general procedure for hibernation is to quiesce all devices (freeze), create | ||
399 | an image of the system memory while everything is stable, reactivate all | ||
400 | devices (thaw), write the image to permanent storage, and finally shut down the | ||
401 | system (poweroff). The phases used to accomplish this are: | ||
402 | |||
403 | prepare, freeze, freeze_noirq, thaw_noirq, thaw, complete, | ||
404 | prepare, poweroff, poweroff_noirq | ||
405 | |||
406 | 1. The prepare phase is discussed in the "Entering System Suspend" section | ||
407 | above. | ||
408 | |||
409 | 2. The freeze methods should quiesce the device so that it doesn't generate | ||
410 | IRQs or DMA, and they may need to save the values of device registers. | ||
411 | However the device does not have to be put in a low-power state, and to | ||
412 | save time it's best not to do so. Also, the device should not be | ||
413 | prepared to generate wakeup events. | ||
414 | |||
415 | 3. The freeze_noirq phase is analogous to the suspend_noirq phase discussed | ||
416 | above, except again that the device should not be put in a low-power | ||
417 | state and should not be allowed to generate wakeup events. | ||
418 | |||
419 | At this point the system image is created. All devices should be inactive and | ||
420 | the contents of memory should remain undisturbed while this happens, so that the | ||
421 | image forms an atomic snapshot of the system state. | ||
422 | |||
423 | 4. The thaw_noirq phase is analogous to the resume_noirq phase discussed | ||
424 | above. The main difference is that its methods can assume the device is | ||
425 | in the same state as at the end of the freeze_noirq phase. | ||
426 | |||
427 | 5. The thaw phase is analogous to the resume phase discussed above. Its | ||
428 | methods should bring the device back to an operating state, so that it | ||
429 | can be used for saving the image if necessary. | ||
430 | |||
431 | 6. The complete phase is discussed in the "Leaving System Suspend" section | ||
432 | above. | ||
433 | |||
434 | At this point the system image is saved, and the devices then need to be | ||
435 | prepared for the upcoming system shutdown. This is much like suspending them | ||
436 | before putting the system into the standby or memory sleep state, and the phases | ||
437 | are similar. | ||
438 | |||
439 | 7. The prepare phase is discussed above. | ||
440 | |||
441 | 8. The poweroff phase is analogous to the suspend phase. | ||
442 | |||
443 | 9. The poweroff_noirq phase is analogous to the suspend_noirq phase. | ||
444 | |||
445 | The poweroff and poweroff_noirq callbacks should do essentially the same things | ||
446 | as the suspend and suspend_noirq callbacks. The only notable difference is that | ||
447 | they need not store the device register values, because the registers should | ||
448 | already have been stored during the freeze or freeze_noirq phases. | ||
449 | |||
450 | |||
451 | Leaving Hibernation | ||
452 | ------------------- | ||
453 | Resuming from hibernation is, again, more complicated than resuming from a sleep | ||
454 | state in which the contents of main memory are preserved, because it requires | ||
455 | a system image to be loaded into memory and the pre-hibernation memory contents | ||
456 | to be restored before control can be passed back to the image kernel. | ||
457 | |||
458 | Although in principle, the image might be loaded into memory and the | ||
459 | pre-hibernation memory contents restored by the boot loader, in practice this | ||
460 | can't be done because boot loaders aren't smart enough and there is no | ||
461 | established protocol for passing the necessary information. So instead, the | ||
462 | boot loader loads a fresh instance of the kernel, called the boot kernel, into | ||
463 | memory and passes control to it in the usual way. Then the boot kernel reads | ||
464 | the system image, restores the pre-hibernation memory contents, and passes | ||
465 | control to the image kernel. Thus two different kernels are involved in | ||
466 | resuming from hibernation. In fact, the boot kernel may be completely different | ||
467 | from the image kernel: a different configuration and even a different version. | ||
468 | This has important consequences for device drivers and their subsystems. | ||
469 | |||
470 | To be able to load the system image into memory, the boot kernel needs to | ||
471 | include at least a subset of device drivers allowing it to access the storage | ||
472 | medium containing the image, although it doesn't need to include all of the | ||
473 | drivers present in the image kernel. After the image has been loaded, the | ||
474 | devices managed by the boot kernel need to be prepared for passing control back | ||
475 | to the image kernel. This is very similar to the initial steps involved in | ||
476 | creating a system image, and it is accomplished in the same way, using prepare, | ||
477 | freeze, and freeze_noirq phases. However the devices affected by these phases | ||
478 | are only those having drivers in the boot kernel; other devices will still be in | ||
479 | whatever state the boot loader left them. | ||
480 | |||
481 | Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation memory contents fail, the boot | ||
482 | kernel would go through the "thawing" procedure described above, using the | ||
483 | thaw_noirq, thaw, and complete phases, and then continue running normally. This | ||
484 | happens only rarely. Most often the pre-hibernation memory contents are | ||
485 | restored successfully and control is passed to the image kernel, which then | ||
486 | becomes responsible for bringing the system back to the working state. | ||
487 | |||
488 | To achieve this, the image kernel must restore the devices' pre-hibernation | ||
489 | functionality. The operation is much like waking up from the memory sleep | ||
490 | state, although it involves different phases: | ||
491 | |||
492 | restore_noirq, restore, complete | ||
493 | |||
494 | 1. The restore_noirq phase is analogous to the resume_noirq phase. | ||
495 | |||
496 | 2. The restore phase is analogous to the resume phase. | ||
497 | |||
498 | 3. The complete phase is discussed above. | ||
499 | |||
500 | The main difference from resume[_noirq] is that restore[_noirq] must assume the | ||
501 | device has been accessed and reconfigured by the boot loader or the boot kernel. | ||
502 | Consequently the state of the device may be different from the state remembered | ||
503 | from the freeze and freeze_noirq phases. The device may even need to be reset | ||
504 | and completely re-initialized. In many cases this difference doesn't matter, so | ||
505 | the resume[_noirq] and restore[_norq] method pointers can be set to the same | ||
506 | routines. Nevertheless, different callback pointers are used in case there is a | ||
507 | situation where it actually matters. | ||
245 | 508 | ||
246 | If a driver (or bus, or class) fails it suspend method, the system won't | ||
247 | enter the desired low power state; it will resume all the devices it's | ||
248 | suspended so far. | ||
249 | 509 | ||
250 | Note that drivers may need to perform different actions based on the target | 510 | System Devices |
251 | system lowpower/sleep state. At this writing, there are only platform | 511 | -------------- |
252 | specific APIs through which drivers could determine those target states. | 512 | System devices (sysdevs) follow a slightly different API, which can be found in |
513 | |||
514 | include/linux/sysdev.h | ||
515 | drivers/base/sys.c | ||
516 | |||
517 | System devices will be suspended with interrupts disabled, and after all other | ||
518 | devices have been suspended. On resume, they will be resumed before any other | ||
519 | devices, and also with interrupts disabled. These things occur in special | ||
520 | "sysdev_driver" phases, which affect only system devices. | ||
521 | |||
522 | Thus, after the suspend_noirq (or freeze_noirq or poweroff_noirq) phase, when | ||
523 | the non-boot CPUs are all offline and IRQs are disabled on the remaining online | ||
524 | CPU, then a sysdev_driver.suspend phase is carried out, and the system enters a | ||
525 | sleep state (or a system image is created). During resume (or after the image | ||
526 | has been created or loaded) a sysdev_driver.resume phase is carried out, IRQs | ||
527 | are enabled on the only online CPU, the non-boot CPUs are enabled, and the | ||
528 | resume_noirq (or thaw_noirq or restore_noirq) phase begins. | ||
529 | |||
530 | Code to actually enter and exit the system-wide low power state sometimes | ||
531 | involves hardware details that are only known to the boot firmware, and | ||
532 | may leave a CPU running software (from SRAM or flash memory) that monitors | ||

575 | actions that either require user space to be available, or at least won't | ||
576 | interfere with user space. | ||
294 | 577 | ||
295 | The event codes are used to refine the goal of suspending the device, and | 578 | For details refer to Documentation/power/notifiers.txt. |
296 | mostly matter when creating or resuming system memory image snapshots, as | ||
297 | used with suspend-to-disk: | ||
298 | |||
299 | PM_EVENT_SUSPEND -- quiesce the driver and put hardware into a low-power | ||
300 | state. When used with system sleep states like "suspend-to-RAM" or | ||
301 | "standby", the upcoming resume() call will often be able to rely on | ||
302 | state kept in hardware, or issue system wakeup events. | ||
303 | |||
304 | PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE -- Put hardware into a low-power state and enable wakeup | ||
305 | events as appropriate. It is only used with hibernation | ||
306 | (suspend-to-disk) and few devices are able to wake up the system from | ||
307 | this state; most are completely powered off. | ||
308 | |||
309 | PM_EVENT_FREEZE -- quiesce the driver, but don't necessarily change into | ||
310 | any low power mode. A system snapshot is about to be taken, often | ||
311 | followed by a call to the driver's resume() method. Neither wakeup | ||
312 | events nor DMA are allowed. | ||
313 | |||
314 | PM_EVENT_PRETHAW -- quiesce the driver, knowing that the upcoming resume() | ||
315 | will restore a suspend-to-disk snapshot from a different kernel image. | ||
316 | Drivers that are smart enough to look at their hardware state during | ||
317 | resume() processing need that state to be correct ... a PRETHAW could | ||
318 | be used to invalidate that state (by resetting the device), like a | ||
319 | shutdown() invocation would before a kexec() or system halt. Other | ||
320 | drivers might handle this the same way as PM_EVENT_FREEZE. Neither | ||
321 | wakeup events nor DMA are allowed. | ||
322 | |||
323 | To enter "standby" (ACPI S1) or "Suspend to RAM" (STR, ACPI S3) states, or | ||
324 | the similarly named APM states, only PM_EVENT_SUSPEND is used; the other event | ||
325 | codes are used for hibernation ("Suspend to Disk", STD, ACPI S4). | ||
326 | |||
327 | There's also PM_EVENT_ON, a value which never appears as a suspend event | ||
328 | but is sometimes used to record the "not suspended" device state. | ||
329 | |||
330 | |||
331 | Resuming Devices | ||
332 | ---------------- | ||
333 | Resuming is done in multiple phases, much like suspending, with all | ||
334 | devices processing each phase's calls before the next phase begins. | ||
335 | |||
336 | The phases are seen by driver notifications issued in this order: | ||
337 | |||
338 | 1 bus.resume(dev) reverses the effects of bus.suspend(). This may | ||
339 | be morphed into a device driver call with bus-specific parameters; | ||
340 | implementations may sleep. | ||
341 | |||
342 | 2 class.resume(dev) is called for devices associated with a class | ||
343 | that has such a method. Implementations may sleep. | ||
344 | |||
345 | This reverses the effects of class.suspend(), and would usually | ||
346 | reactivate the device's I/O queue. | ||
347 | |||
348 | At the end of those phases, drivers should normally be as functional as | ||
349 | they were before suspending: I/O can be performed using DMA and IRQs, and | ||
350 | the relevant clocks are gated on. The device need not be "fully on"; it | ||
351 | might be in a runtime lowpower/suspend state that acts as if it were. | ||
352 | |||
353 | However, the details here may again be platform-specific. For example, | ||
354 | some systems support multiple "run" states, and the mode in effect at | ||
355 | the end of resume() might not be the one which preceded suspension. | ||
356 | That means availability of certain clocks or power supplies changed, | ||
357 | which could easily affect how a driver works. | ||
358 | |||
359 | |||
360 | Drivers need to be able to handle hardware which has been reset since the | ||
361 | suspend methods were called, for example by complete reinitialization. | ||
362 | This may be the hardest part, and the one most protected by NDA'd documents | ||
363 | and chip errata. It's simplest if the hardware state hasn't changed since | ||
364 | the suspend() was called, but that can't always be guaranteed. | ||
365 | |||
366 | Drivers must also be prepared to notice that the device has been removed | ||
367 | while the system was powered off, whenever that's physically possible. | ||
368 | PCMCIA, MMC, USB, Firewire, SCSI, and even IDE are common examples of busses | ||
369 | where common Linux platforms will see such removal. Details of how drivers | ||
370 | will notice and handle such removals are currently bus-specific, and often | ||
371 | involve a separate thread. | ||
372 | |||
373 | |||
374 | Note that the bus-specific runtime PM wakeup mechanism can exist, and might | ||
375 | be defined to share some of the same driver code as for system wakeup. For | ||
376 | example, a bus-specific device driver's resume() method might be used there, | ||
377 | so it wouldn't only be called from bus.resume() during system-wide wakeup. | ||
378 | See bus-specific information about how runtime wakeup events are handled. | ||

381 | System Devices | ||

388 | System devices will only be suspended with interrupts disabled, and after | ||
389 | all other devices have been suspended. On resume, they will be resumed | ||
390 | before any other devices, and also with interrupts disabled. | ||
391 | |||
392 | That is, IRQs are disabled, the suspend_late() phase begins, then the | ||
393 | sysdev_driver.suspend() phase, and the system enters a sleep state. Then | ||
394 | the sysdev_driver.resume() phase begins, followed by the resume_early() | ||
395 | phase, after which IRQs are enabled. | ||

452 | |||
453 | |||
454 | Examples: USB hosts, system timer, system CPU | ||
455 | ---------------------------------------------- | ||
456 | USB host controllers make interesting, if complex, examples. In many cases | ||
457 | these have no work to do: no USB devices are connected, or all of them are | ||
458 | in the USB "suspend" state. Linux host controller drivers can then disable | ||
459 | periodic DMA transfers that would otherwise be a constant power drain on the | ||
460 | memory subsystem, and enter a suspend state. In power-aware controllers, | ||
461 | entering that suspend state may disable the clock used with USB signaling, | ||
462 | saving a certain amount of power. | ||
463 | |||
464 | The controller will be woken from that state (with an IRQ) by changes to the | ||
465 | signal state on the data lines of a given port, for example by an existing | ||
466 | peripheral requesting "remote wakeup" or by plugging a new peripheral. The | ||
467 | same wakeup mechanism usually works from "standby" sleep states, and on some | ||
468 | systems also from "suspend to RAM" (or even "suspend to disk") states. | ||
469 | (Except that ACPI may be involved instead of normal IRQs, on some hardware.) | ||
470 | |||
471 | System devices like timers and CPUs may have special roles in the platform | ||
472 | power management scheme. For example, system timers using a "dynamic tick" | ||
473 | approach don't just save CPU cycles (by eliminating needless timer IRQs), | ||
474 | but they may also open the door to using lower power CPU "idle" states that | ||
475 | cost more than a jiffie to enter and exit. On x86 systems these are states | ||
476 | like "C3"; note that periodic DMA transfers from a USB host controller will | ||
477 | also prevent entry to a C3 state, much like a periodic timer IRQ. | ||
478 | |||
479 | That kind of runtime mechanism interaction is common. "System On Chip" (SOC) | ||
480 | processors often have low power idle modes that can't be entered unless | ||
481 | certain medium-speed clocks (often 12 or 48 MHz) are gated off. When the | ||
482 | drivers gate those clocks effectively, then the system idle task may be able | ||
483 | to use the lower power idle modes and thereby increase battery life. | ||
484 | |||
485 | If the CPU can have a "cpufreq" driver, there also may be opportunities | ||
486 | to shift to lower voltage settings and reduce the power cost of executing | ||
487 | a given number of instructions. (Without voltage adjustment, it's rare | ||
488 | for cpufreq to save much power; the cost-per-instruction must go down.) | ||

34 | 38 | PCI devices may be put into low-power states in two ways, by using the device | |
35 | There are actually two D3 states. When someone talks about D3, they usually | 39 | capabilities introduced by the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification, |
36 | mean D3hot, which corresponds to an ACPI D2 state (power is reduced, the | 40 | or with the help of platform firmware, such as an ACPI BIOS. In the first |
37 | device may lose some context). But they may also mean D3cold, which is an | 41 | approach, that is referred to as the native PCI power management (native PCI PM) |
38 | ACPI D3 state (power is fully off, all state was discarded); or both. | 42 | in what follows, the device power state is changed as a result of writing a |
39 | 43 | specific value into one of its standard configuration registers. The second | |
40 | Bus power management is not covered in this version of this document. | 44 | approach requires the platform firmware to provide special methods that may be |
41 | 45 | used by the kernel to change the device's power state. | |
42 | Note that all PCI devices support D0 and D3cold by default, regardless of | 46 | |
43 | whether or not they implement any of the PCI PM spec. | 47 | Devices supporting the native PCI PM usually can generate wakeup signals called |
44 | 48 | Power Management Events (PMEs) to let the kernel know about external events | |
45 | The possible state transitions that a device can undergo are: | 49 | requiring the device to be active. After receiving a PME the kernel is supposed |
46 | 50 | to put the device that sent it into the full-power state. However, the PCI Bus | |
47 | +---------------------------+ | 51 | Power Management Interface Specification doesn't define any standard method of |
48 | | Current State | New State | | 52 | delivering the PME from the device to the CPU and the operating system kernel. |
49 | +---------------------------+ | 53 | It is assumed that the platform firmware will perform this task and therefore, |
50 | | D0 | D1, D2, D3| | 54 | even though a PCI device is set up to generate PMEs, it also may be necessary to |
51 | +---------------------------+ | 55 | prepare the platform firmware for notifying the CPU of the PMEs coming from the |
52 | | D1 | D2, D3 | | 56 | device (e.g. by generating interrupts). |
53 | +---------------------------+ | 57 | |
54 | | D2 | D3 | | 58 | In turn, if the methods provided by the platform firmware are used for changing |
55 | +---------------------------+ | 59 | the power state of a device, usually the platform also provides a method for |
56 | | D1, D2, D3 | D0 | | 60 | preparing the device to generate wakeup signals. In that case, however, it |
57 | +---------------------------+ | 61 | often also is necessary to prepare the device for generating PMEs using the |
58 | 62 | native PCI PM mechanism, because the method provided by the platform depends on | |
59 | Note that when the system is entering a global suspend state, all devices will | 63 | that. |
60 | be placed into D3 and when resuming, all devices will be placed into D0. | 64 | |
61 | However, when the system is running, other state transitions are possible. | 65 | Thus in many situations both the native and the platform-based power management |
62 | 66 | mechanisms have to be used simultaneously to obtain the desired result. | |
63 | 2. How The PCI Subsystem Handles Power Management | 67 | |
64 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | 68 | 1.2. Native PCI Power Management |
65 | 69 | -------------------------------- | |
66 | The PCI suspend/resume functionality is accessed indirectly via the Power | 70 | The PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification (PCI PM Spec) was |
67 | Management subsystem. At boot, the PCI driver registers a power management | 71 | introduced between the PCI 2.1 and PCI 2.2 Specifications. It defined a |
68 | callback with that layer. Upon entering a suspend state, the PM layer iterates | 72 | standard interface for performing various operations related to power |
69 | through all of its registered callbacks. This currently takes place only during | 73 | management. |
70 | APM state transitions. | 74 | |
71 | 75 | The implementation of the PCI PM Spec is optional for conventional PCI devices, | |
72 | Upon going to sleep, the PCI subsystem walks its device tree twice. Both times, | 76 | but it is mandatory for PCI Express devices. If a device supports the PCI PM |
73 | it does a depth first walk of the device tree. The first walk saves each of the | 77 | Spec, it has an 8 byte power management capability field in its PCI |
74 | device's state and checks for devices that will prevent the system from entering | 78 | configuration space. This field is used to describe and control the standard |
75 | a global power state. The next walk then places the devices in a low power | 79 | features related to the native PCI power management. |
80 | |||
81 | The PCI PM Spec defines 4 operating states for devices (D0-D3) and for buses | ||
82 | (B0-B3). The higher the number, the less power is drawn by the device or bus | ||
83 | in that state. However, the higher the number, the longer the latency for | ||
84 | the device or bus to return to the full-power state (D0 or B0, respectively). | ||
85 | |||
86 | There are two variants of the D3 state defined by the specification. The first | ||
87 | one is D3hot, referred to as the software accessible D3, because devices can be | ||
88 | programmed to go into it. The second one, D3cold, is the state that PCI devices | ||
89 | are in when the supply voltage (Vcc) is removed from them. It is not possible | ||
90 | to program a PCI device to go into D3cold, although there may be a programmable | ||
91 | interface for putting the bus the device is on into a state in which Vcc is | ||
92 | removed from all devices on the bus. | ||
93 | |||
94 | PCI bus power management, however, is not supported by the Linux kernel at the | ||
95 | time of this writing and therefore it is not covered by this document. | ||
96 | |||
97 | Note that every PCI device can be in the full-power state (D0) or in D3cold, | ||
98 | regardless of whether or not it implements the PCI PM Spec. In addition to | ||
99 | that, if the PCI PM Spec is implemented by the device, it must support D3hot | ||
100 | as well as D0. The support for the D1 and D2 power states is optional. | ||
101 | |||
102 | PCI devices supporting the PCI PM Spec can be programmed to go to any of the | ||
103 | supported low-power states (except for D3cold). While in D1-D3hot the | ||
104 | standard configuration registers of the device must be accessible to software | ||
105 | (i.e. the device is required to respond to PCI configuration accesses), although | ||
106 | its I/O and memory spaces are then disabled. This allows the device to be | ||
107 | programmatically put into D0. Thus the kernel can switch the device back and | ||
108 | forth between D0 and the supported low-power states (except for D3cold) and the | ||
109 | possible power state transitions the device can undergo are the following: | ||
110 | |||
111 | +----------------------------+ | ||
112 | | Current State | New State | | ||
113 | +----------------------------+ | ||
114 | | D0 | D1, D2, D3 | | ||
115 | +----------------------------+ | ||
116 | | D1 | D2, D3 | | ||
117 | +----------------------------+ | ||
118 | | D2 | D3 | | ||
119 | +----------------------------+ | ||
120 | | D1, D2, D3 | D0 | | ||
121 | +----------------------------+ | ||
122 | |||
123 | The transition from D3cold to D0 occurs when the supply voltage is provided to | ||
124 | the device (i.e. power is restored). In that case the device returns to D0 with | ||
125 | a full power-on reset sequence and the power-on defaults are restored to the | ||
126 | device by hardware just as at initial power up. | ||
127 | |||
128 | PCI devices supporting the PCI PM Spec can be programmed to generate PMEs | ||
129 | while in a low-power state (D1-D3), but they are not required to be capable | ||
130 | of generating PMEs from all supported low-power states. In particular, the | ||
131 | capability of generating PMEs from D3cold is optional and depends on the | ||
132 | presence of additional voltage (3.3Vaux) allowing the device to remain | ||
133 | sufficiently active to generate a wakeup signal. | ||
134 | |||
135 | 1.3. ACPI Device Power Management | ||
136 | --------------------------------- | ||
137 | The platform firmware support for the power management of PCI devices is | ||
138 | system-specific. However, if the system in question is compliant with the | ||
139 | Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Specification, like the | ||
140 | majority of x86-based systems, it is supposed to implement device power | ||
141 | management interfaces defined by the ACPI standard. | ||
142 | |||
143 | For this purpose the ACPI BIOS provides special functions called "control | ||
144 | methods" that may be executed by the kernel to perform specific tasks, such as | ||
145 | putting a device into a low-power state. These control methods are encoded | ||
146 | using special byte-code language called the ACPI Machine Language (AML) and | ||
147 | stored in the machine's BIOS. The kernel loads them from the BIOS and executes | ||
148 | them as needed using an AML interpreter that translates the AML byte code into | ||
149 | computations and memory or I/O space accesses. This way, in theory, a BIOS | ||
150 | writer can provide the kernel with a means to perform actions depending | ||
151 | on the system design in a system-specific fashion. | ||
152 | |||
153 | ACPI control methods may be divided into global control methods, that are not | ||
154 | associated with any particular devices, and device control methods, that have | ||
155 | to be defined separately for each device supposed to be handled with the help of | ||
156 | the platform. This means, in particular, that ACPI device control methods can | ||
157 | only be used to handle devices that the BIOS writer knew about in advance. The | ||
158 | ACPI methods used for device power management fall into that category. | ||
159 | |||
160 | The ACPI specification assumes that devices can be in one of four power states | ||
161 | labeled as D0, D1, D2, and D3 that roughly correspond to the native PCI PM | ||
162 | D0-D3 states (although the difference between D3hot and D3cold is not taken | ||
163 | into account by ACPI). Moreover, for each power state of a device there is a | ||
164 | set of power resources that have to be enabled for the device to be put into | ||
165 | that state. These power resources are controlled (i.e. enabled or disabled) | ||
166 | with the help of their own control methods, _ON and _OFF, that have to be | ||
167 | defined individually for each of them. | ||
168 | |||
169 | To put a device into the ACPI power state Dx (where x is a number between 0 and | ||
170 | 3 inclusive) the kernel is supposed to (1) enable the power resources required | ||
171 | by the device in this state using their _ON control methods and (2) execute the | ||
172 | _PSx control method defined for the device. In addition to that, if the device | ||
173 | is going to be put into a low-power state (D1-D3) and is supposed to generate | ||
174 | wakeup signals from that state, the _DSW (or _PSW, replaced with _DSW by ACPI | ||
175 | 3.0) control method defined for it has to be executed before _PSx. Power | ||
176 | resources that are not required by the device in the target power state and are | ||
177 | not required any more by any other device should be disabled (by executing their | ||
178 | _OFF control methods). If the current power state of the device is D3, it can | ||
179 | only be put into D0 this way. | ||
180 | |||
181 | However, quite often the power states of devices are changed during a | ||
182 | system-wide transition into a sleep state or back into the working state. ACPI | ||
183 | defines four system sleep states, S1, S2, S3, and S4, and denotes the system | ||
184 | working state as S0. In general, the target system sleep (or working) state | ||
185 | determines the highest power (lowest number) state the device can be put | ||
186 | into and the kernel is supposed to obtain this information by executing the | ||
187 | device's _SxD control method (where x is a number between 0 and 4 inclusive). | ||
188 | If the device is required to wake up the system from the target sleep state, the | ||
189 | lowest power (highest number) state it can be put into is also determined by the | ||
190 | target state of the system. The kernel is then supposed to use the device's | ||
191 | _SxW control method to obtain the number of that state. It also is supposed to | ||
192 | use the device's _PRW control method to learn which power resources need to be | ||
193 | enabled for the device to be able to generate wakeup signals. | ||
194 | |||
195 | 1.4. Wakeup Signaling | ||
196 | --------------------- | ||
197 | Wakeup signals generated by PCI devices, either as native PCI PMEs, or as | ||
198 | a result of the execution of the _DSW (or _PSW) ACPI control method before | ||
199 | putting the device into a low-power state, have to be caught and handled as | ||
200 | appropriate. If they are sent while the system is in the working state | ||
201 | (ACPI S0), they should be translated into interrupts so that the kernel can | ||
202 | put the devices generating them into the full-power state and take care of the | ||
203 | events that triggered them. In turn, if they are sent while the system is | ||
204 | sleeping, they should cause the system's core logic to trigger wakeup. | ||
205 | |||
206 | On ACPI-based systems wakeup signals sent by conventional PCI devices are | ||
207 | converted into ACPI General-Purpose Events (GPEs) which are hardware signals | ||
208 | from the system core logic generated in response to various events that need to | ||
209 | be acted upon. Every GPE is associated with one or more sources of potentially | ||
210 | interesting events. In particular, a GPE may be associated with a PCI device | ||
211 | capable of signaling wakeup. The information on the connections between GPEs | ||
212 | and event sources is recorded in the system's ACPI BIOS from where it can be | ||
213 | read by the kernel. | ||
214 | |||
215 | If a PCI device known to the system's ACPI BIOS signals wakeup, the GPE | ||
216 | associated with it (if there is one) is triggered. The GPEs associated with PCI | ||
217 | bridges may also be triggered in response to a wakeup signal from one of the | ||
218 | devices below the bridge (this also is the case for root bridges) and, for | ||
219 | example, native PCI PMEs from devices unknown to the system's ACPI BIOS may be | ||
220 | handled this way. | ||
221 | |||
222 | A GPE may be triggered when the system is sleeping (i.e. when it is in one of | ||
223 | the ACPI S1-S4 states), in which case system wakeup is started by its core logic | ||
224 | (the device that was the source of the signal causing the system wakeup to occur | ||
225 | may be identified later). The GPEs used in such situations are referred to as | ||
226 | wakeup GPEs. | ||
227 | |||
228 | Usually, however, GPEs are also triggered when the system is in the working | ||
229 | state (ACPI S0) and in that case the system's core logic generates a System | ||
230 | Control Interrupt (SCI) to notify the kernel of the event. Then, the SCI | ||
231 | handler identifies the GPE that caused the interrupt to be generated which, | ||
232 | in turn, allows the kernel to identify the source of the event (that may be | ||
233 | a PCI device signaling wakeup). The GPEs used for notifying the kernel of | ||
234 | events occurring while the system is in the working state are referred to as | ||
235 | runtime GPEs. | ||
236 | |||
237 | Unfortunately, there is no standard way of handling wakeup signals sent by | ||
238 | conventional PCI devices on systems that are not ACPI-based, but there is one | ||
239 | for PCI Express devices. Namely, the PCI Express Base Specification introduced | ||
240 | a native mechanism for converting native PCI PMEs into interrupts generated by | ||
241 | root ports. For conventional PCI devices native PMEs are out-of-band, so they | ||
242 | are routed separately and they need not pass through bridges (in principle they | ||
243 | may be routed directly to the system's core logic), but for PCI Express devices | ||
244 | they are in-band messages that have to pass through the PCI Express hierarchy, | ||
245 | including the root port on the path from the device to the Root Complex. Thus | ||
246 | it was possible to introduce a mechanism by which a root port generates an | ||
247 | interrupt whenever it receives a PME message from one of the devices below it. | ||
248 | The PCI Express Requester ID of the device that sent the PME message is then | ||
249 | recorded in one of the root port's configuration registers from where it may be | ||
250 | read by the interrupt handler allowing the device to be identified. [PME | ||
251 | messages sent by PCI Express endpoints integrated with the Root Complex don't | ||
252 | pass through root ports, but instead they cause a Root Complex Event Collector | ||
253 | (if there is one) to generate interrupts.] | ||
254 | |||
255 | In principle the native PCI Express PME signaling may also be used on ACPI-based | ||
256 | systems along with the GPEs, but to use it the kernel has to ask the system's | ||
257 | ACPI BIOS to release control of root port configuration registers. The ACPI | ||
258 | BIOS, however, is not required to allow the kernel to control these registers | ||
259 | and if it doesn't do that, the kernel must not modify their contents. Of course | ||
260 | the native PCI Express PME signaling cannot be used by the kernel in that case. | ||
261 | |||
262 | |||
263 | 2. PCI Subsystem and Device Power Management | ||
264 | ============================================ | ||
265 | |||
266 | 2.1. Device Power Management Callbacks | ||
267 | -------------------------------------- | ||
268 | The PCI Subsystem participates in the power management of PCI devices in a | ||
269 | number of ways. First of all, it provides an intermediate code layer between | ||
270 | the device power management core (PM core) and PCI device drivers. | ||
271 | Specifically, the pm field of the PCI subsystem's struct bus_type object, | ||
272 | pci_bus_type, points to a struct dev_pm_ops object, pci_dev_pm_ops, containing | ||
273 | pointers to several device power management callbacks: | ||
274 | |||
275 | const struct dev_pm_ops pci_dev_pm_ops = { | ||
276 | .prepare = pci_pm_prepare, | ||
277 | .complete = pci_pm_complete, | ||
278 | .suspend = pci_pm_suspend, | ||
279 | .resume = pci_pm_resume, | ||
280 | .freeze = pci_pm_freeze, | ||
281 | .thaw = pci_pm_thaw, | ||
282 | .poweroff = pci_pm_poweroff, | ||
283 | .restore = pci_pm_restore, | ||
284 | .suspend_noirq = pci_pm_suspend_noirq, | ||
285 | .resume_noirq = pci_pm_resume_noirq, | ||
286 | .freeze_noirq = pci_pm_freeze_noirq, | ||
287 | .thaw_noirq = pci_pm_thaw_noirq, | ||
288 | .poweroff_noirq = pci_pm_poweroff_noirq, | ||
289 | .restore_noirq = pci_pm_restore_noirq, | ||
290 | .runtime_suspend = pci_pm_runtime_suspend, | ||
291 | .runtime_resume = pci_pm_runtime_resume, | ||
292 | .runtime_idle = pci_pm_runtime_idle, | ||
293 | }; | ||
294 | |||
295 | These callbacks are executed by the PM core in various situations related to | ||
296 | device power management and they, in turn, execute power management callbacks | ||
297 | provided by PCI device drivers. They also perform power management operations | ||
298 | involving some standard configuration registers of PCI devices that device | ||
299 | drivers need not know or care about. | ||
300 | |||
301 | The structure representing a PCI device, struct pci_dev, contains several fields | ||
302 | that these callbacks operate on: | ||
303 | |||
304 | struct pci_dev { | ||
305 | ... | ||
306 | pci_power_t current_state; /* Current operating state. */ | ||
307 | int pm_cap; /* PM capability offset in the | ||
308 | configuration space */ | ||
309 | unsigned int pme_support:5; /* Bitmask of states from which PME# | ||
310 | can be generated */ | ||
311 | unsigned int pme_interrupt:1;/* Is native PCIe PME signaling used? */ | ||
312 | unsigned int d1_support:1; /* Low power state D1 is supported */ | ||
313 | unsigned int d2_support:1; /* Low power state D2 is supported */ | ||
314 | unsigned int no_d1d2:1; /* D1 and D2 are forbidden */ | ||
315 | unsigned int wakeup_prepared:1; /* Device prepared for wake up */ | ||
316 | unsigned int d3_delay; /* D3->D0 transition time in ms */ | ||
317 | ... | ||
318 | }; | ||
319 | |||
320 | They also indirectly use some fields of the struct device that is embedded in | ||
321 | struct pci_dev. | ||
322 | |||
323 | 2.2. Device Initialization | ||
324 | -------------------------- | ||
325 | The PCI subsystem's first task related to device power management is to | ||
326 | prepare the device for power management and initialize the fields of struct | ||
327 | pci_dev used for this purpose. This happens in two functions defined in | ||
328 | drivers/pci/pci.c, pci_pm_init() and platform_pci_wakeup_init(). | ||
329 | |||
330 | The first of these functions checks if the device supports native PCI PM | ||
331 | and if that's the case the offset of its power management capability structure | ||
332 | in the configuration space is stored in the pm_cap field of the device's struct | ||
333 | pci_dev object. Next, the function checks which PCI low-power states are | ||
334 | supported by the device and from which low-power states the device can generate | ||
335 | native PCI PMEs. The power management fields of the device's struct pci_dev and | ||
336 | the struct device embedded in it are updated accordingly and the generation of | ||
337 | PMEs by the device is disabled. | ||
338 | |||
339 | The second function checks if the device can be prepared to signal wakeup with | ||
340 | the help of the platform firmware, such as the ACPI BIOS. If that is the case, | ||
341 | the function updates the wakeup fields in struct device embedded in the | ||
342 | device's struct pci_dev and uses the firmware-provided method to prevent the | ||
343 | device from signaling wakeup. | ||
344 | |||
345 | At this point the device is ready for power management. For driverless devices, | ||
346 | however, this functionality is limited to a few basic operations carried out | ||
347 | during system-wide transitions to a sleep state and back to the working state. | ||
348 | |||
349 | 2.3. Runtime Device Power Management | ||
350 | ------------------------------------ | ||
351 | The PCI subsystem plays a vital role in the runtime power management of PCI | ||
352 | devices. For this purpose it uses the general runtime power management | ||
353 | (runtime PM) framework described in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. | ||
354 | Namely, it provides subsystem-level callbacks: | ||
355 | |||
356 | pci_pm_runtime_suspend() | ||
357 | pci_pm_runtime_resume() | ||
358 | pci_pm_runtime_idle() | ||
359 | |||
360 | that are executed by the core runtime PM routines. It also implements the | ||
361 | entire mechanics necessary for handling runtime wakeup signals from PCI devices | ||
362 | in low-power states, which at the time of this writing works for both the native | ||
363 | PCI Express PME signaling and the ACPI GPE-based wakeup signaling described in | ||
364 | Section 1. | ||
365 | |||
366 | First, a PCI device is put into a low-power state, or suspended, with the help | ||
367 | of pm_schedule_suspend() or pm_runtime_suspend() which for PCI devices call | ||
368 | pci_pm_runtime_suspend() to do the actual job. For this to work, the device's | ||
369 | driver has to provide a pm->runtime_suspend() callback (see below), which is | ||
370 | run by pci_pm_runtime_suspend() as the first action. If the driver's callback | ||
371 | returns successfully, the device's standard configuration registers are saved, | ||
372 | the device is prepared to generate wakeup signals and, finally, it is put into | ||
373 | the target low-power state. | ||
374 | |||
375 | The low-power state to put the device into is the lowest-power (highest number) | ||
376 | state from which it can signal wakeup. The exact method of signaling wakeup is | ||
377 | system-dependent and is determined by the PCI subsystem on the basis of the | ||
378 | reported capabilities of the device and the platform firmware. To prepare the | ||
379 | device for signaling wakeup and put it into the selected low-power state, the | ||
380 | PCI subsystem can use the platform firmware as well as the device's native PCI | ||
381 | PM capabilities, if supported. | ||
382 | |||
383 | It is expected that the device driver's pm->runtime_suspend() callback will | ||
384 | not attempt to prepare the device for signaling wakeup or to put it into a | ||
385 | low-power state. The driver ought to leave these tasks to the PCI subsystem | ||
386 | that has all of the information necessary to perform them. | ||
387 | |||
388 | A suspended device is brought back into the "active" state, or resumed, | ||
389 | with the help of pm_request_resume() or pm_runtime_resume() which both call | ||
390 | pci_pm_runtime_resume() for PCI devices. Again, this only works if the device's | ||
391 | driver provides a pm->runtime_resume() callback (see below). However, before | ||
392 | the driver's callback is executed, pci_pm_runtime_resume() brings the device | ||
393 | back into the full-power state, prevents it from signaling wakeup while in that | ||
394 | state and restores its standard configuration registers. Thus the driver's | ||
395 | callback need not worry about the PCI-specific aspects of the device resume. | ||
396 | |||
397 | Note that generally pci_pm_runtime_resume() may be called in two different | ||
398 | situations. First, it may be called at the request of the device's driver, for | ||
399 | example if there are some data for it to process. Second, it may be called | ||
400 | as a result of a wakeup signal from the device itself (this sometimes is | ||
401 | referred to as "remote wakeup"). Of course, for this purpose the wakeup signal | ||
402 | is handled in one of the ways described in Section 1 and finally converted into | ||
403 | a notification for the PCI subsystem after the source device has been | ||
404 | identified. | ||
405 | |||
406 | The pci_pm_runtime_idle() function, called for PCI devices by pm_runtime_idle() | ||
407 | and pm_request_idle(), executes the device driver's pm->runtime_idle() | ||
408 | callback, if defined, and if that callback doesn't return error code (or is not | ||
409 | present at all), suspends the device with the help of pm_runtime_suspend(). | ||
410 | Sometimes pci_pm_runtime_idle() is called automatically by the PM core (for | ||
411 | example, it is called right after the device has just been resumed), in which | ||
412 | cases it is expected to suspend the device if that makes sense. Usually, | ||
413 | however, the PCI subsystem doesn't really know if the device really can be | ||
414 | suspended, so it lets the device's driver decide by running its | ||
415 | pm->runtime_idle() callback. | ||
416 | |||
417 | 2.4. System-Wide Power Transitions | ||
418 | ---------------------------------- | ||
419 | There are a few different types of system-wide power transitions, described in | ||
420 | Documentation/power/devices.txt. Each of them requires devices to be handled | ||
421 | in a specific way and the PM core executes subsystem-level power management | ||
422 | callbacks for this purpose. They are executed in phases such that each phase | ||
423 | involves executing the same subsystem-level callback for every device belonging | ||
424 | to the given subsystem before the next phase begins. These phases always run | ||
425 | after tasks have been frozen. | ||
426 | |||
427 | 2.4.1. System Suspend | ||
428 | |||
429 | When the system is going into a sleep state in which the contents of memory will | ||
430 | be preserved, such as one of the ACPI sleep states S1-S3, the phases are: | ||
431 | |||
432 | prepare, suspend, suspend_noirq. | ||
433 | |||
434 | The following PCI bus type's callbacks, respectively, are used in these phases: | ||
435 | |||
436 | pci_pm_prepare() | ||
437 | pci_pm_suspend() | ||
438 | pci_pm_suspend_noirq() | ||
439 | |||
440 | The pci_pm_prepare() routine first puts the device into the "fully functional" | ||
441 | state with the help of pm_runtime_resume(). Then, it executes the device | ||
442 | driver's pm->prepare() callback if defined (i.e. if the driver's struct | ||
443 | dev_pm_ops object is present and the prepare pointer in that object is valid). | ||
444 | |||
445 | The pci_pm_suspend() routine first checks if the device's driver implements | ||
446 | legacy PCI suspend routines (see Section 3), in which case the driver's legacy | ||
447 | suspend callback is executed, if present, and its result is returned. Next, if | ||
448 | the device's driver doesn't provide a struct dev_pm_ops object (containing | ||
449 | pointers to the driver's callbacks), pci_pm_default_suspend() is called, which | ||
450 | simply turns off the device's bus master capability and runs | ||
451 | pcibios_disable_device() to disable it, unless the device is a bridge (PCI | ||
452 | bridges are ignored by this routine). Next, the device driver's pm->suspend() | ||
453 | callback is executed, if defined, and its result is returned if it fails. | ||
454 | Finally, pci_fixup_device() is called to apply hardware suspend quirks related | ||
455 | to the device if necessary. | ||
456 | |||
457 | Note that the suspend phase is carried out asynchronously for PCI devices, so | ||
458 | the pci_pm_suspend() callback may be executed in parallel for any pair of PCI | ||
459 | devices that don't depend on each other in a known way (i.e. none of the paths | ||
460 | in the device tree from the root bridge to a leaf device contains both of them). | ||
461 | |||
462 | The pci_pm_suspend_noirq() routine is executed after suspend_device_irqs() has | ||
463 | been called, which means that the device driver's interrupt handler won't be | ||
464 | invoked while this routine is running. It first checks if the device's driver | ||
465 | implements legacy PCI suspends routines (Section 3), in which case the legacy | ||
466 | late suspend routine is called and its result is returned (the standard | ||
467 | configuration registers of the device are saved if the driver's callback hasn't | ||
468 | done that). Second, if the device driver's struct dev_pm_ops object is not | ||
469 | present, the device's standard configuration registers are saved and the routine | ||
470 | returns success. Otherwise the device driver's pm->suspend_noirq() callback is | ||
471 | executed, if present, and its result is returned if it fails. Next, if the | ||
472 | device's standard configuration registers haven't been saved yet (one of the | ||
473 | device driver's callbacks executed before might do that), pci_pm_suspend_noirq() | ||
474 | saves them, prepares the device to signal wakeup (if necessary) and puts it into | ||
475 | a low-power state. | ||
476 | |||
477 | The low-power state to put the device into is the lowest-power (highest number) | ||
478 | state from which it can signal wakeup while the system is in the target sleep | ||
479 | state. Just like in the runtime PM case described above, the mechanism of | ||
480 | signaling wakeup is system-dependent and determined by the PCI subsystem, which | ||
481 | is also responsible for preparing the device to signal wakeup from the system's | ||
482 | target sleep state as appropriate. | ||
483 | |||
484 | PCI device drivers (that don't implement legacy power management callbacks) are | ||
485 | generally not expected to prepare devices for signaling wakeup or to put them | ||
486 | into low-power states. However, if one of the driver's suspend callbacks | ||
487 | (pm->suspend() or pm->suspend_noirq()) saves the device's standard configuration | ||
488 | registers, pci_pm_suspend_noirq() will assume that the device has been prepared | ||
489 | to signal wakeup and put into a low-power state by the driver (the driver is | ||
490 | then assumed to have used the helper functions provided by the PCI subsystem for | ||
491 | this purpose). PCI device drivers are not encouraged to do that, but in some | ||
492 | rare cases doing that in the driver may be the optimum approach. | ||
493 | |||
494 | 2.4.2. System Resume | ||
495 | |||
496 | When the system is undergoing a transition from a sleep state in which the | ||
497 | contents of memory have been preserved, such as one of the ACPI sleep states | ||
498 | S1-S3, into the working state (ACPI S0), the phases are: | ||
499 | |||
500 | resume_noirq, resume, complete. | ||
501 | |||
502 | The following PCI bus type's callbacks, respectively, are executed in these | ||
503 | phases: | ||
504 | |||
505 | pci_pm_resume_noirq() | ||
506 | pci_pm_resume() | ||
507 | pci_pm_complete() | ||
508 | |||
509 | The pci_pm_resume_noirq() routine first puts the device into the full-power | ||
510 | state, restores its standard configuration registers and applies early resume | ||
511 | hardware quirks related to the device, if necessary. This is done | ||
512 | unconditionally, regardless of whether or not the device's driver implements | ||
513 | legacy PCI power management callbacks (this way all PCI devices are in the | ||
514 | full-power state and their standard configuration registers have been restored | ||
515 | when their interrupt handlers are invoked for the first time during resume, | ||
516 | which allows the kernel to avoid problems with the handling of shared interrupts | ||
517 | by drivers whose devices are still suspended). If legacy PCI power management | ||
518 | callbacks (see Section 3) are implemented by the device's driver, the legacy | ||
519 | early resume callback is executed and its result is returned. Otherwise, the | ||
520 | device driver's pm->resume_noirq() callback is executed, if defined, and its | ||
521 | result is returned. | ||
522 | |||
523 | The pci_pm_resume() routine first checks if the device's standard configuration | ||
524 | registers have been restored and restores them if that's not the case (this | ||
525 | only is necessary in the error path during a failing suspend). Next, resume | ||
526 | hardware quirks related to the device are applied, if necessary, and if the | ||
527 | device's driver implements legacy PCI power management callbacks (see | ||
528 | Section 3), the driver's legacy resume callback is executed and its result is | ||
529 | returned. Otherwise, the device's wakeup signaling mechanisms are blocked and | ||
530 | its driver's pm->resume() callback is executed, if defined (the callback's | ||
531 | result is then returned). | ||
532 | |||
533 | The resume phase is carried out asynchronously for PCI devices, like the | ||
534 | suspend phase described above, which means that if two PCI devices don't depend | ||
535 | on each other in a known way, the pci_pm_resume() routine may be executed for | ||
536 | the both of them in parallel. | ||
537 | |||
538 | The pci_pm_complete() routine only executes the device driver's pm->complete() | ||
539 | callback, if defined. | ||
540 | |||
541 | 2.4.3. System Hibernation | ||
542 | |||
543 | System hibernation is more complicated than system suspend, because it requires | ||
544 | a system image to be created and written into a persistent storage medium. The | ||
545 | image is created atomically and all devices are quiesced, or frozen, before that | ||
546 | happens. | ||
547 | |||
548 | The freezing of devices is carried out after enough memory has been freed (at | ||
549 | the time of this writing the image creation requires at least 50% of system RAM | ||
550 | to be free) in the following three phases: | ||
551 | |||
552 | prepare, freeze, freeze_noirq | ||
553 | |||
554 | that correspond to the PCI bus type's callbacks: | ||
555 | |||
556 | pci_pm_prepare() | ||
557 | pci_pm_freeze() | ||
558 | pci_pm_freeze_noirq() | ||
559 | |||
560 | This means that the prepare phase is exactly the same as for system suspend. | ||
561 | The other two phases, however, are different. | ||
562 | |||
563 | The pci_pm_freeze() routine is quite similar to pci_pm_suspend(), but it runs | ||
564 | the device driver's pm->freeze() callback, if defined, instead of pm->suspend(), | ||
565 | and it doesn't apply the suspend-related hardware quirks. It is executed | ||
566 | asynchronously for different PCI devices that don't depend on each other in a | ||
567 | known way. | ||
568 | |||
569 | The pci_pm_freeze_noirq() routine, in turn, is similar to | ||
570 | pci_pm_suspend_noirq(), but it calls the device driver's pm->freeze_noirq() | ||
571 | routine instead of pm->suspend_noirq(). It also doesn't attempt to prepare the | ||
572 | device for signaling wakeup and put it into a low-power state. Still, it saves | ||
573 | the device's standard configuration registers if they haven't been saved by one | ||
574 | of the driver's callbacks. | ||
575 | |||
576 | Once the image has been created, it has to be saved. However, at this point all | ||
577 | devices are frozen and they cannot handle I/O, while their ability to handle | ||
578 | I/O is obviously necessary for the image saving. Thus they have to be brought | ||
579 | back to the fully functional state and this is done in the following phases: | ||
580 | |||
581 | thaw_noirq, thaw, complete | ||
582 | |||
583 | using the following PCI bus type's callbacks: | ||
584 | |||
585 | pci_pm_thaw_noirq() | ||
586 | pci_pm_thaw() | ||
587 | pci_pm_complete() | ||
588 | |||
589 | respectively. | ||
590 | |||
591 | The first of them, pci_pm_thaw_noirq(), is analogous to pci_pm_resume_noirq(), | ||
592 | but it doesn't put the device into the full power state and doesn't attempt to | ||
593 | restore its standard configuration registers. It also executes the device | ||
594 | driver's pm->thaw_noirq() callback, if defined, instead of pm->resume_noirq(). | ||
595 | |||
596 | The pci_pm_thaw() routine is similar to pci_pm_resume(), but it runs the device | ||
597 | driver's pm->thaw() callback instead of pm->resume(). It is executed | ||
598 | asynchronously for different PCI devices that don't depend on each other in a | ||
599 | known way. | ||
600 | |||
601 | The complete phase it the same as for system resume. | ||
602 | |||
603 | After saving the image, devices need to be powered down before the system can | ||
604 | enter the target sleep state (ACPI S4 for ACPI-based systems). This is done in | ||
605 | three phases: | ||
606 | |||
607 | prepare, poweroff, poweroff_noirq | ||
608 | |||
609 | where the prepare phase is exactly the same as for system suspend. The other | ||
610 | two phases are analogous to the suspend and suspend_noirq phases, respectively. | ||
611 | The PCI subsystem-level callbacks they correspond to | ||
612 | |||
613 | pci_pm_poweroff() | ||
614 | pci_pm_poweroff_noirq() | ||
615 | |||
616 | work in analogy with pci_pm_suspend() and pci_pm_poweroff_noirq(), respectively, | ||
617 | although they don't attempt to save the device's standard configuration | ||
618 | registers. | ||
619 | |||
620 | 2.4.4. System Restore | ||
621 | |||
622 | System restore requires a hibernation image to be loaded into memory and the | ||
623 | pre-hibernation memory contents to be restored before the pre-hibernation system | ||
624 | activity can be resumed. | ||
625 | |||
626 | As described in Documentation/power/devices.txt, the hibernation image is loaded | ||
627 | into memory by a fresh instance of the kernel, called the boot kernel, which in | ||
628 | turn is loaded and run by a boot loader in the usual way. After the boot kernel | ||
629 | has loaded the image, it needs to replace its own code and data with the code | ||
630 | and data of the "hibernated" kernel stored within the image, called the image | ||
631 | kernel. For this purpose all devices are frozen just like before creating | ||
632 | the image during hibernation, in the | ||
633 | |||
634 | prepare, freeze, freeze_noirq | ||
635 | |||
636 | phases described above. However, the devices affected by these phases are only | ||
637 | those having drivers in the boot kernel; other devices will still be in whatever | ||
638 | state the boot loader left them. | ||
639 | |||
640 | Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation memory contents fail, the boot | ||
641 | kernel would go through the "thawing" procedure described above, using the | ||
642 | thaw_noirq, thaw, and complete phases (that will only affect the devices having | ||
643 | drivers in the boot kernel), and then continue running normally. | ||
644 | |||
645 | If the pre-hibernation memory contents are restored successfully, which is the | ||
646 | usual situation, control is passed to the image kernel, which then becomes | ||
647 | responsible for bringing the system back to the working state. To achieve this, | ||
648 | it must restore the devices' pre-hibernation functionality, which is done much | ||
649 | like waking up from the memory sleep state, although it involves different | ||
650 | phases: | ||
651 | |||
652 | restore_noirq, restore, complete | ||
653 | |||
654 | The first two of these are analogous to the resume_noirq and resume phases | ||
655 | described above, respectively, and correspond to the following PCI subsystem | ||
656 | callbacks: | ||
657 | |||
658 | pci_pm_restore_noirq() | ||
659 | pci_pm_restore() | ||
660 | |||
661 | These callbacks work in analogy with pci_pm_resume_noirq() and pci_pm_resume(), | ||
662 | respectively, but they execute the device driver's pm->restore_noirq() and | ||
663 | pm->restore() callbacks, if available. | ||
664 | |||
665 | The complete phase is carried out in exactly the same way as during system | ||
666 | resume. | ||
667 | |||
668 | |||
669 | 3. PCI Device Drivers and Power Management | ||
670 | ========================================== | ||
671 | |||
672 | 3.1. Power Management Callbacks | ||
673 | ------------------------------- | ||
674 | PCI device drivers participate in power management by providing callbacks to be | ||
675 | executed by the PCI subsystem's power management routines described above and by | ||
676 | controlling the runtime power management of their devices. | ||
677 | |||
678 | At the time of this writing there are two ways to define power management | ||
679 | callbacks for a PCI device driver, the recommended one, based on using a | ||
680 | dev_pm_ops structure described in Documentation/power/devices.txt, and the | ||
681 | "legacy" one, in which the .suspend(), .suspend_late(), .resume_early(), and | ||
682 | .resume() callbacks from struct pci_driver are used. The legacy approach, | ||
683 | however, doesn't allow one to define runtime power management callbacks and is | ||
684 | not really suitable for any new drivers. Therefore it is not covered by this | ||
685 | document (refer to the source code to learn more about it). | ||
686 | |||
687 | It is recommended that all PCI device drivers define a struct dev_pm_ops object | ||
688 | containing pointers to power management (PM) callbacks that will be executed by | ||
689 | the PCI subsystem's PM routines in various circumstances. A pointer to the | ||
690 | driver's struct dev_pm_ops object has to be assigned to the driver.pm field in | ||
691 | its struct pci_driver object. Once that has happened, the "legacy" PM callbacks | ||
692 | in struct pci_driver are ignored (even if they are not NULL). | ||
693 | |||
694 | The PM callbacks in struct dev_pm_ops are not mandatory and if they are not | ||
695 | defined (i.e. the respective fields of struct dev_pm_ops are unset) the PCI | ||
696 | subsystem will handle the device in a simplified default manner. If they are | ||
697 | defined, though, they are expected to behave as described in the following | ||
698 | subsections. | ||
699 | |||
700 | 3.1.1. prepare() | ||
701 | |||
702 | The prepare() callback is executed during system suspend, during hibernation | ||
703 | (when a hibernation image is about to be created), during power-off after | ||
704 | saving a hibernation image and during system restore, when a hibernation image | ||
705 | has just been loaded into memory. | ||
706 | |||
707 | This callback is only necessary if the driver's device has children that in | ||
708 | general may be registered at any time. In that case the role of the prepare() | ||
709 | callback is to prevent new children of the device from being registered until | ||
710 | one of the resume_noirq(), thaw_noirq(), or restore_noirq() callbacks is run. | ||
711 | |||
712 | In addition to that the prepare() callback may carry out some operations | ||
713 | preparing the device to be suspended, although it should not allocate memory | ||
714 | (if additional memory is required to suspend the device, it has to be | ||
715 | preallocated earlier, for example in a suspend/hibernate notifier as described | ||
716 | in Documentation/power/notifiers.txt). | ||
717 | |||
718 | 3.1.2. suspend() | ||
719 | |||
720 | The suspend() callback is only executed during system suspend, after prepare() | ||
721 | callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system. | ||
722 | |||
723 | This callback is expected to quiesce the device and prepare it to be put into a | ||
724 | low-power state by the PCI subsystem. It is not required (in fact it even is | ||
725 | not recommended) that a PCI driver's suspend() callback save the standard | ||
726 | configuration registers of the device, prepare it for waking up the system, or | ||
727 | put it into a low-power state. All of these operations can very well be taken | ||
728 | care of by the PCI subsystem, without the driver's participation. | ||
729 | |||
730 | However, in some rare case it is convenient to carry out these operations in | ||
731 | a PCI driver. Then, pci_save_state(), pci_prepare_to_sleep(), and | ||
732 | pci_set_power_state() should be used to save the device's standard configuration | ||
733 | registers, to prepare it for system wakeup (if necessary), and to put it into a | ||
734 | low-power state, respectively. Moreover, if the driver calls pci_save_state(), | ||
735 | the PCI subsystem will not execute either pci_prepare_to_sleep(), or | ||
736 | pci_set_power_state() for its device, so the driver is then responsible for | ||
737 | handling the device as appropriate. | ||
738 | |||
739 | While the suspend() callback is being executed, the driver's interrupt handler | ||
740 | can be invoked to handle an interrupt from the device, so all suspend-related | ||
741 | operations relying on the driver's ability to handle interrupts should be | ||
742 | carried out in this callback. | ||
743 | |||
744 | 3.1.3. suspend_noirq() | ||
745 | |||
746 | The suspend_noirq() callback is only executed during system suspend, after | ||
747 | suspend() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and | ||
748 | after device interrupts have been disabled by the PM core. | ||
749 | |||
750 | The difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend() is that the driver's | ||
751 | interrupt handler will not be invoked while suspend_noirq() is running. Thus | ||
752 | suspend_noirq() can carry out operations that would cause race conditions to | ||
753 | arise if they were performed in suspend(). | ||
754 | |||
755 | 3.1.4. freeze() | ||
756 | |||
757 | The freeze() callback is hibernation-specific and is executed in two situations, | ||
758 | during hibernation, after prepare() callbacks have been executed for all devices | ||
759 | in preparation for the creation of a system image, and during restore, | ||
760 | after a system image has been loaded into memory from persistent storage and the | ||
761 | prepare() callbacks have been executed for all devices. | ||
762 | |||
763 | The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend() callback | ||
764 | described above. In fact, they only need to be different in the rare cases when | ||
765 | the driver takes the responsibility for putting the device into a low-power | ||
76 | state. | 766 | state. |
77 | 767 | ||
78 | The first walk allows a graceful recovery in the event of a failure, since none | 768 | In that cases the freeze() callback should not prepare the device system wakeup |
79 | of the devices have actually been powered down. | 769 | or put it into a low-power state. Still, either it or freeze_noirq() should |
80 | 770 | save the device's standard configuration registers using pci_save_state(). | |
81 | In both walks, in particular the second, all children of a bridge are touched | ||
82 | before the actual bridge itself. This allows the bridge to retain power while | ||
83 | its children are being accessed. | ||
84 | |||
85 | Upon resuming from sleep, just the opposite must be true: all bridges must be | ||
86 | powered on and restored before their children are powered on. This is easily | ||
87 | accomplished with a breadth-first walk of the PCI device tree. | ||
88 | |||
89 | |||
90 | 3. PCI Utility Functions | ||
91 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
92 | |||
93 | These are helper functions designed to be called by individual device drivers. | ||
94 | Assuming that a device behaves as advertised, these should be applicable in most | ||
95 | cases. However, results may vary. | ||
96 | |||
97 | Note that these functions are never implicitly called for the driver. The driver | ||
98 | is always responsible for deciding when and if to call these. | ||

123 | ------------------- | ||
124 | |||
125 | Usage: | ||
126 | pci_set_power_state(struct pci_dev *dev, pci_power_t state); | ||
127 | |||
128 | Description: | ||
129 | Transition device to low power state using PCI PM Capabilities | ||
130 | registers. | ||
131 | |||
132 | Will fail under one of the following conditions: | ||
133 | - If state is less than current state, but not D0 (illegal transition) | ||
134 | - Device doesn't support PM Capabilities | ||
135 | - Device does not support requested state | ||
136 | |||
137 | |||
138 | pci_enable_wake | ||
139 | --------------- | ||
140 | |||
141 | Usage: | ||
142 | pci_enable_wake(struct pci_dev *dev, pci_power_t state, int enable); | ||
143 | |||
144 | Description: | ||
145 | Enable device to generate PME# during low power state using PCI PM | ||
146 | Capabilities. | ||
147 | |||
148 | Checks whether if device supports generating PME# from requested state | ||
149 | and fail if it does not, unless enable == 0 (request is to disable wake | ||
150 | events, which is implicit if it doesn't even support it in the first | ||
151 | place). | ||
152 | |||
153 | Note that the PMC Register in the device's PM Capabilities has a bitmask | ||
154 | of the states it supports generating PME# from. D3hot is bit 3 and | ||
155 | D3cold is bit 4. So, while a value of 4 as the state may not seem | ||
156 | semantically correct, it is. | ||
157 | |||
158 | |||
159 | 4. PCI Device Drivers | ||
160 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
161 | |||
162 | These functions are intended for use by individual drivers, and are defined in | ||
163 | struct pci_driver: | ||
164 | |||
165 | int (*suspend) (struct pci_dev *dev, pm_message_t state); | ||
166 | int (*resume) (struct pci_dev *dev); | ||
167 | |||
168 | |||
169 | suspend | ||
170 | ------- | ||
171 | |||
172 | Usage: | ||
173 | |||
174 | if (dev->driver && dev->driver->suspend) | ||
175 | dev->driver->suspend(dev,state); | ||
176 | |||
177 | A driver uses this function to actually transition the device into a low power | ||
178 | state. This should include disabling I/O, IRQs, and bus-mastering, as well as | ||
179 | physically transitioning the device to a lower power state; it may also include | ||
180 | calls to pci_enable_wake(). | ||
181 | |||
182 | Bus mastering may be disabled by doing: | ||
183 | |||
184 | pci_disable_device(dev); | ||
185 | |||
186 | For devices that support the PCI PM Spec, this may be used to set the device's | ||
187 | power state to match the suspend() parameter: | ||
188 | |||
189 | pci_set_power_state(dev,state); | ||
190 | |||
191 | The driver is also responsible for disabling any other device-specific features | ||
192 | (e.g blanking screen, turning off on-card memory, etc). | ||
193 | |||
194 | The driver should be sure to track the current state of the device, as it may | ||
195 | obviate the need for some operations. | ||
196 | |||
197 | The driver should update the current_state field in its pci_dev structure in | ||
198 | this function, except for PM-capable devices when pci_set_power_state is used. | ||
199 | |||
200 | resume | ||
201 | ------ | ||
202 | |||
203 | Usage: | ||
204 | |||
205 | if (dev->driver && dev->driver->resume) | ||
206 | dev->driver->resume(dev) | ||
207 | 771 | ||
208 | The resume callback may be called from any power state, and is always meant to | 772 | 3.1.5. freeze_noirq() |
209 | transition the device to the D0 state. | ||
210 | 773 | ||
211 | The driver is responsible for reenabling any features of the device that had | 774 | The freeze_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed during |
212 | been disabled during previous suspend calls, such as IRQs and bus mastering, | 775 | hibernation, after prepare() and freeze() callbacks have been executed for all |
213 | as well as calling pci_restore_state(). | 776 | devices in preparation for the creation of a system image, and during restore, |
777 | after a system image has been loaded into memory and after prepare() and | ||
778 | freeze() callbacks have been executed for all devices. It is always executed | ||
779 | after device interrupts have been disabled by the PM core. | ||
214 | 780 | ||
215 | If the device is currently in D3, it may need to be reinitialized in resume(). | 781 | The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend_noirq() |
782 | callback described above and it very rarely is necessary to define | ||
783 | freeze_noirq(). | ||
216 | 784 | ||
217 | * Some types of devices, like bus controllers, will preserve context in D3hot | 785 | The difference between freeze_noirq() and freeze() is analogous to the |
218 | (using Vcc power). Their drivers will often want to avoid re-initializing | 786 | difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend(). |
219 | them after re-entering D0 (perhaps to avoid resetting downstream devices). | ||
220 | 787 | ||
221 | * Other kinds of devices in D3hot will discard device context as part of a | 788 | 3.1.6. poweroff() |
222 | soft reset when re-entering the D0 state. | ||
223 | |||
224 | * Devices resuming from D3cold always go through a power-on reset. Some | ||
225 | device context can also be preserved using Vaux power. | ||
226 | 789 | ||
227 | * Some systems hide D3cold resume paths from drivers. For example, on PCs | 790 | The poweroff() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed when the system |
228 | the resume path for suspend-to-disk often runs BIOS powerup code, which | 791 | is about to be powered off after saving a hibernation image to a persistent |
229 | will sometimes re-initialize the device. | 792 | storage. prepare() callbacks are executed for all devices before poweroff() is |
793 | called. | ||
230 | 794 | ||
231 | To handle resets during D3 to D0 transitions, it may be convenient to share | 795 | The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend() and freeze() |
232 | device initialization code between probe() and resume(). Device parameters | 796 | callbacks described above, although it does not need to save the contents of |
233 | can also be saved before the driver suspends into D3, avoiding re-probe. | 797 | the device's registers. In particular, if the driver wants to put the device |
798 | into a low-power state itself instead of allowing the PCI subsystem to do that, | ||
799 | the poweroff() callback should use pci_prepare_to_sleep() and | ||
800 | pci_set_power_state() to prepare the device for system wakeup and to put it | ||
801 | into a low-power state, respectively, but it need not save the device's standard | ||
802 | configuration registers. | ||
234 | 803 | ||
235 | If the device supports the PCI PM Spec, it can use this to physically transition | 804 | 3.1.7. poweroff_noirq() |
236 | the device to D0: | ||
237 | 805 | ||
238 | pci_set_power_state(dev,0); | 806 | The poweroff_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after |
807 | poweroff() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system. | ||
239 | 808 | ||
240 | Note that if the entire system is transitioning out of a global sleep state, all | 809 | The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend_noirq() and |
241 | devices will be placed in the D0 state, so this is not necessary. However, in | 810 | freeze_noirq() callbacks described above, but it does not need to save the |
242 | the event that the device is placed in the D3 state during normal operation, | 811 | contents of the device's registers. |
243 | this call is necessary. It is impossible to determine which of the two events is | ||
244 | taking place in the driver, so it is always a good idea to make that call. | ||
245 | 812 | ||
246 | The driver should take note of the state that it is resuming from in order to | 813 | The difference between poweroff_noirq() and poweroff() is analogous to the |
247 | ensure correct (and speedy) operation. | 814 | difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend(). |
248 | 815 | ||
249 | The driver should update the current_state field in its pci_dev structure in | 816 | 3.1.8. resume_noirq() |
250 | this function, except for PM-capable devices when pci_set_power_state is used. | ||
251 | 817 | ||
818 | The resume_noirq() callback is only executed during system resume, after the | ||
819 | PM core has enabled the non-boot CPUs. The driver's interrupt handler will not | ||
820 | be invoked while resume_noirq() is running, so this callback can carry out | ||
821 | operations that might race with the interrupt handler. | ||
252 | 822 | ||
823 | Since the PCI subsystem unconditionally puts all devices into the full power | ||
824 | state in the resume_noirq phase of system resume and restores their standard | ||
825 | configuration registers, resume_noirq() is usually not necessary. In general | ||
826 | it should only be used for performing operations that would lead to race | ||
827 | conditions if carried out by resume(). | ||
253 | 828 | ||
254 | A reference implementation | 829 | 3.1.9. resume() |
255 | ------------------------- | ||
256 | .suspend() | ||
257 | { | ||
258 | /* driver specific operations */ | ||
259 | 830 | ||
260 | /* Disable IRQ */ | 831 | The resume() callback is only executed during system resume, after |
261 | free_irq(); | 832 | resume_noirq() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and |
262 | /* If using MSI */ | 833 | device interrupts have been enabled by the PM core. |
263 | pci_disable_msi(); | ||
264 | 834 | ||
265 | pci_save_state(); | 835 | This callback is responsible for restoring the pre-suspend configuration of the |
266 | pci_enable_wake(); | 836 | device and bringing it back to the fully functional state. The device should be |
267 | /* Disable IO/bus master/irq router */ | 837 | able to process I/O in a usual way after resume() has returned. |
268 | pci_disable_device(); | ||
269 | pci_set_power_state(pci_choose_state()); | ||
270 | } | ||
271 | 838 | ||
272 | .resume() | 839 | 3.1.10. thaw_noirq() |
273 | { | ||
274 | pci_set_power_state(PCI_D0); | ||
275 | pci_restore_state(); | ||
276 | /* device's irq possibly is changed, driver should take care */ | ||
277 | pci_enable_device(); | ||
278 | pci_set_master(); | ||
279 | 840 | ||
280 | /* if using MSI, device's vector possibly is changed */ | 841 | The thaw_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after a |
281 | pci_enable_msi(); | 842 | system image has been created and the non-boot CPUs have been enabled by the PM |
843 | core, in the thaw_noirq phase of hibernation. It also may be executed if the | ||
844 | loading of a hibernation image fails during system restore (it is then executed | ||
845 | after enabling the non-boot CPUs). The driver's interrupt handler will not be | ||
846 | invoked while thaw_noirq() is running. | ||
282 | 847 | ||
283 | request_irq(); | 848 | The role of this callback is analogous to the role of resume_noirq(). The |
284 | /* driver specific operations; */ | 849 | difference between these two callbacks is that thaw_noirq() is executed after |
285 | } | 850 | freeze() and freeze_noirq(), so in general it does not need to modify the |
851 | contents of the device's registers. | ||
286 | 852 | ||
287 | This is a typical implementation. Drivers can slightly change the order | 853 | 3.1.11. thaw() |
288 | of the operations in the implementation, ignore some operations or add | ||
289 | more driver specific operations in it, but drivers should do something like | ||
290 | this on the whole. | ||
291 | 854 | ||
292 | 5. Resources | 855 | The thaw() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after thaw_noirq() |
293 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | 856 | callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and after device |
857 | interrupts have been enabled by the PM core. | ||
294 | 858 | ||
295 | PCI Local Bus Specification | 859 | This callback is responsible for restoring the pre-freeze configuration of |
296 | PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification | 860 | the device, so that it will work in a usual way after thaw() has returned. |
297 | 861 | ||
298 | http://www.pcisig.com | 862 | 3.1.12. restore_noirq() |
299 | 863 | ||
864 | The restore_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed in the | ||
865 | restore_noirq phase of hibernation, when the boot kernel has passed control to | ||
866 | the image kernel and the non-boot CPUs have been enabled by the image kernel's | ||
867 | PM core. | ||
868 | |||
869 | This callback is analogous to resume_noirq() with the exception that it cannot | ||
870 | make any assumption on the previous state of the device, even if the BIOS (or | ||
871 | generally the platform firmware) is known to preserve that state over a | ||
872 | suspend-resume cycle. | ||
873 | |||
874 | For the vast majority of PCI device drivers there is no difference between | ||
875 | resume_noirq() and restore_noirq(). | ||
876 | |||
877 | 3.1.13. restore() | ||
878 | |||
879 | The restore() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after | ||
880 | restore_noirq() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and | ||
881 | after the PM core has enabled device drivers' interrupt handlers to be invoked. | ||
882 | |||
883 | This callback is analogous to resume(), just like restore_noirq() is analogous | ||
884 | to resume_noirq(). Consequently, the difference between restore_noirq() and | ||
885 | restore() is analogous to the difference between resume_noirq() and resume(). | ||
886 | |||
887 | For the vast majority of PCI device drivers there is no difference between | ||
888 | resume() and restore(). | ||
889 | |||
890 | 3.1.14. complete() | ||
891 | |||
892 | The complete() callback is executed in the following situations: | ||
893 | - during system resume, after resume() callbacks have been executed for all | ||
894 | devices, | ||
895 | - during hibernation, before saving the system image, after thaw() callbacks | ||
896 | have been executed for all devices, | ||
897 | - during system restore, when the system is going back to its pre-hibernation | ||
898 | state, after restore() callbacks have been executed for all devices. | ||
899 | It also may be executed if the loading of a hibernation image into memory fails | ||
900 | (in that case it is run after thaw() callbacks have been executed for all | ||
901 | devices that have drivers in the boot kernel). | ||
902 | |||
903 | This callback is entirely optional, although it may be necessary if the | ||
904 | prepare() callback performs operations that need to be reversed. | ||
905 | |||
906 | 3.1.15. runtime_suspend() | ||
907 | |||
908 | The runtime_suspend() callback is specific to device runtime power management | ||
909 | (runtime PM). It is executed by the PM core's runtime PM framework when the | ||
910 | device is about to be suspended (i.e. quiesced and put into a low-power state) | ||
911 | at run time. | ||
912 | |||
913 | This callback is responsible for freezing the device and preparing it to be | ||
914 | put into a low-power state, but it must allow the PCI subsystem to perform all | ||
915 | of the PCI-specific actions necessary for suspending the device. | ||
916 | |||
917 | 3.1.16. runtime_resume() | ||
918 | |||
919 | The runtime_resume() callback is specific to device runtime PM. It is executed | ||
920 | by the PM core's runtime PM framework when the device is about to be resumed | ||
921 | (i.e. put into the full-power state and programmed to process I/O normally) at | ||
922 | run time. | ||
923 | |||
924 | This callback is responsible for restoring the normal functionality of the | ||
925 | device after it has been put into the full-power state by the PCI subsystem. | ||
926 | The device is expected to be able to process I/O in the usual way after | ||
927 | runtime_resume() has returned. | ||
928 | |||
929 | 3.1.17. runtime_idle() | ||
930 | |||
931 | The runtime_idle() callback is specific to device runtime PM. It is executed | ||
932 | by the PM core's runtime PM framework whenever it may be desirable to suspend | ||
933 | the device according to the PM core's information. In particular, it is | ||
934 | automatically executed right after runtime_resume() has returned in case the | ||
935 | resume of the device has happened as a result of a spurious event. | ||
936 | |||
937 | This callback is optional, but if it is not implemented or if it returns 0, the | ||
938 | PCI subsystem will call pm_runtime_suspend() for the device, which in turn will | ||
939 | cause the driver's runtime_suspend() callback to be executed. | ||
940 | |||
941 | 3.1.18. Pointing Multiple Callback Pointers to One Routine | ||
942 | |||
943 | Although in principle each of the callbacks described in the previous | ||
944 | subsections can be defined as a separate function, it often is convenient to | ||
945 | point two or more members of struct dev_pm_ops to the same routine. There are | ||
946 | a few convenience macros that can be used for this purpose. | ||
947 | |||
948 | The SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS macro declares a struct dev_pm_ops object with one | ||
949 | suspend routine pointed to by the .suspend(), .freeze(), and .poweroff() | ||
950 | members and one resume routine pointed to by the .resume(), .thaw(), and | ||
951 | .restore() members. The other function pointers in this struct dev_pm_ops are | ||
952 | unset. | ||
953 | |||
954 | The UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS macro is similar to SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS, but it | ||
955 | additionally sets the .runtime_resume() pointer to the same value as | ||
956 | .resume() (and .thaw(), and .restore()) and the .runtime_suspend() pointer to | ||
957 | the same value as .suspend() (and .freeze() and .poweroff()). | ||
958 | |||
959 | The SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS can be used inside of a declaration of struct | ||
960 | dev_pm_ops to indicate that one suspend routine is to be pointed to by the | ||
961 | .suspend(), .freeze(), and .poweroff() members and one resume routine is to | ||
962 | be pointed to by the .resume(), .thaw(), and .restore() members. | ||
963 | |||
964 | 3.2. Device Runtime Power Management | ||
965 | ------------------------------------ | ||
966 | In addition to providing device power management callbacks PCI device drivers | ||
967 | are responsible for controlling the runtime power management (runtime PM) of | ||
968 | their devices. | ||
969 | |||
970 | The PCI device runtime PM is optional, but it is recommended that PCI device | ||
971 | drivers implement it at least in the cases where there is a reliable way of | ||
972 | verifying that the device is not used (like when the network cable is detached | ||
973 | from an Ethernet adapter or there are no devices attached to a USB controller). | ||
974 | |||
975 | To support the PCI runtime PM the driver first needs to implement the | ||
976 | runtime_suspend() and runtime_resume() callbacks. It also may need to implement | ||
977 | the runtime_idle() callback to prevent the device from being suspended again | ||
978 | every time right after the runtime_resume() callback has returned | ||
979 | (alternatively, the runtime_suspend() callback will have to check if the | ||
980 | device should really be suspended and return -EAGAIN if that is not the case). | ||
981 | |||
982 | The runtime PM of PCI devices is disabled by default. It is also blocked by | ||
983 | pci_pm_init() that runs the pm_runtime_forbid() helper function. If a PCI | ||
984 | driver implements the runtime PM callbacks and intends to use the runtime PM | ||
985 | framework provided by the PM core and the PCI subsystem, it should enable this | ||
986 | feature by executing the pm_runtime_enable() helper function. However, the | ||
987 | driver should not call the pm_runtime_allow() helper function unblocking | ||
988 | the runtime PM of the device. Instead, it should allow user space or some | ||
989 | platform-specific code to do that (user space can do it via sysfs), although | ||
990 | once it has called pm_runtime_enable(), it must be prepared to handle the | ||
991 | runtime PM of the device correctly as soon as pm_runtime_allow() is called | ||
992 | (which may happen at any time). [It also is possible that user space causes | ||
993 | pm_runtime_allow() to be called via sysfs before the driver is loaded, so in | ||
994 | fact the driver has to be prepared to handle the runtime PM of the device as | ||
995 | soon as it calls pm_runtime_enable().] | ||
996 | |||
997 | The runtime PM framework works by processing requests to suspend or resume | ||
998 | devices, or to check if they are idle (in which cases it is reasonable to | ||
999 | subsequently request that they be suspended). These requests are represented | ||
1000 | by work items put into the power management workqueue, pm_wq. Although there | ||
1001 | are a few situations in which power management requests are automatically | ||
1002 | queued by the PM core (for example, after processing a request to resume a | ||
1003 | device the PM core automatically queues a request to check if the device is | ||
1004 | idle), device drivers are generally responsible for queuing power management | ||
1005 | requests for their devices. For this purpose they should use the runtime PM | ||
1006 | helper functions provided by the PM core, discussed in | ||
1007 | Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. | ||
1008 | |||
1009 | Devices can also be suspended and resumed synchronously, without placing a | ||
1010 | request into pm_wq. In the majority of cases this also is done by their | ||
1011 | drivers that use helper functions provided by the PM core for this purpose. | ||
1012 | |||

72 | * QE Firmware Node | ||
73 | |||
74 | This node defines a firmware binary that is embedded in the device tree, for | ||
75 | the purpose of passing the firmware from bootloader to the kernel, or from | ||
76 | the hypervisor to the guest. | ||
77 | |||
78 | The firmware node itself contains the firmware binary contents, a compatible | ||
79 | property, and any firmware-specific properties. The node should be placed | ||
80 | inside a QE node that needs it. Doing so eliminates the need for a | ||
81 | fsl,firmware-phandle property. Other QE nodes that need the same firmware | ||
82 | should define an fsl,firmware-phandle property that points to the firmware node | ||
83 | in the first QE node. | ||
84 | |||
85 | The fsl,firmware property can be specified in the DTS (possibly using incbin) | ||
86 | or can be inserted by the boot loader at boot time. | ||
87 | |||
88 | Required properties: | ||
89 | - compatible | ||
90 | Usage: required | ||
91 | Value type: <string> | ||

1 | GDB intends to support the following hardware debug features of BookE | ||
2 | processors: | ||
3 | |||
4 | 4 hardware breakpoints (IAC) | ||
5 | 2 hardware watchpoints (read, write and read-write) (DAC) | ||
6 | 2 value conditions for the hardware watchpoints (DVC) | ||
7 | |||
8 | For that, we need to extend ptrace so that GDB can query and set these | ||
9 | resources. Since we're extending, we're trying to create an interface | ||
10 | that's extendable and that covers both BookE and server processors, so | ||
11 | that GDB doesn't need to special-case each of them. We added the | ||
12 | following 3 new ptrace requests. | ||
13 | |||
14 | 1. PTRACE_PPC_GETHWDEBUGINFO | ||
15 | |||
16 | Query for GDB to discover the hardware debug features. The main info to | ||
17 | be returned here is the minimum alignment for the hardware watchpoints. | ||
18 | BookE processors don't have restrictions here, but server processors have | ||
19 | an 8-byte alignment restriction for hardware watchpoints. We'd like to avoid | ||
20 | adding special cases to GDB based on what it sees in AUXV. | ||
21 | |||
22 | Since we're at it, we added other useful info that the kernel can return to | ||
23 | GDB: this query will return the number of hardware breakpoints, hardware | ||
24 | watchpoints and whether it supports a range of addresses and a condition. | ||
25 | The query will fill the following structure provided by the requesting process: | ||
26 | |||
27 | struct ppc_debug_info { | ||
28 | unit32_t version; | ||
29 | unit32_t num_instruction_bps; | ||
30 | unit32_t num_data_bps; | ||

33 | unit32_t sizeof_condition; /* size of the DVC register */ | ||
34 | uint64_t features; /* bitmask of the individual flags */ | ||
35 | }; | ||
36 | |||
37 | features will have bits indicating whether there is support for: | ||

42 | #define PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_DATA_BP_MASK 0x8 | ||
43 | |||
44 | 2. PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG | ||
45 | |||
46 | Sets a hardware breakpoint or watchpoint, according to the provided structure: | ||
47 | |||
48 | struct ppc_hw_breakpoint { | ||

71 | uint64_t addr2; | ||
72 | uint64_t condition_value; | ||
73 | }; | ||
74 | |||
75 | A request specifies one event, not necessarily just one register to be set. | ||
76 | For instance, if the request is for a watchpoint with a condition, both the | ||
77 | DAC and DVC registers will be set in the same request. | ||
78 | |||
79 | With this GDB can ask for all kinds of hardware breakpoints and watchpoints | ||
80 | that the BookE supports. COMEFROM breakpoints available in server processors | ||
81 | are not contemplated, but that is out of the scope of this work. | ||
82 | |||
83 | ptrace will return an integer (handle) uniquely identifying the breakpoint or | ||
84 | watchpoint just created. This integer will be used in the PTRACE_DELHWDEBUG | ||
85 | request to ask for its removal. Return -ENOSPC if the requested breakpoint | ||
86 | can't be allocated on the registers. | ||
87 | |||
88 | Some examples of using the structure to: | ||
89 | |||

193 | Support for Augmented rbtrees | ||
194 | ----------------------------- | ||
195 | |||
196 | Augmented rbtree is an rbtree with "some" additional data stored in each node. | ||
197 | This data can be used to augment some new functionality to rbtree. | ||
198 | Augmented rbtree is an optional feature built on top of basic rbtree | ||
199 | infrastructure. rbtree user who wants this feature will have an augment | ||
200 | callback function in rb_root initialized. | ||
201 | |||
202 | This callback function will be called from rbtree core routines whenever | ||
203 | a node has a change in one or both of its children. It is the responsibility | ||
204 | of the callback function to recalculate the additional data that is in the | ||
205 | rb node using new children information. Note that if this new additional | ||
206 | data affects the parent node's additional data, then callback function has | ||
207 | to handle it and do the recursive updates. | ||
208 | |||
209 | |||
210 | Interval tree is an example of augmented rb tree. Reference - | ||
211 | "Introduction to Algorithms" by Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest and Stein. | ||
212 | More details about interval trees: | ||
213 | |||
214 | Classical rbtree has a single key and it cannot be directly used to store | ||
215 | interval ranges like [lo:hi] and do a quick lookup for any overlap with a new | ||
216 | lo:hi or to find whether there is an exact match for a new lo:hi. | ||
217 | |||
218 | However, rbtree can be augmented to store such interval ranges in a structured | ||
219 | way making it possible to do efficient lookup and exact match. | ||
220 | |||
221 | This "extra information" stored in each node is the maximum hi | ||
222 | (max_hi) value among all the nodes that are its descendents. This | ||
223 | information can be maintained at each node just be looking at the node | ||
224 | and its immediate children. And this will be used in O(log n) lookup | ||
225 | for lowest match (lowest start address among all possible matches) | ||
226 | with something like: | ||
227 | |||
228 | find_lowest_match(lo, hi, node) | ||
229 | { | ||
230 | lowest_match = NULL; | ||
231 | while (node) { | ||
232 | if (max_hi(node->left) > lo) { | ||
233 | // Lowest overlap if any must be on left side | ||
234 | node = node->left; | ||
235 | } else if (overlap(lo, hi, node)) { | ||
236 | lowest_match = node; | ||
237 | break; | ||
238 | } else if (lo > node->lo) { | ||
239 | // Lowest overlap if any must be on right side | ||
240 | node = node->right; | ||
241 | } else { | ||
242 | break; | ||
243 | } | ||
244 | } | ||
245 | return lowest_match; | ||
246 | } | ||
247 | |||
248 | Finding exact match will be to first find lowest match and then to follow | ||
249 | successor nodes looking for exact match, until the start of a node is beyond | ||
250 | the hi value we are looking for. | ||

277 | 8. Implementation note: user namespaces | ||
278 | |||
279 | User namespaces are intended to be hierarchical. But they are currently | ||
280 | only partially implemented. Each of those has ramifications for CFS. | ||
281 | |||
282 | First, since user namespaces are hierarchical, the /sys/kernel/uids | ||
283 | presentation is inadequate. Eventually we will likely want to use sysfs | ||
284 | tagging to provide private views of /sys/kernel/uids within each user | ||
285 | namespace. | ||
286 | |||
287 | Second, the hierarchical nature is intended to support completely | ||
288 | unprivileged use of user namespaces. So if using user groups, then | ||
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 | ||
293 | user namespace will receive 1024 shares just like any user in the | ||
294 | initial user namespace. Note that at the moment creation of a new | ||
295 | user namespace requires each of CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_SETUID, and | ||
296 | CAP_SETGID. | ||

2 | HPSA - Hewlett Packard Smart Array driver | ||
3 | ----------------------------------------- | ||
4 | |||
5 | This file describes the hpsa SCSI driver for HP Smart Array controllers. | ||
6 | The hpsa driver is intended to supplant the cciss driver for newer | ||
7 | Smart Array controllers. The hpsa driver is a SCSI driver, while the | ||
8 | cciss driver is a "block" driver. Actually cciss is both a block | ||
9 | driver (for logical drives) AND a SCSI driver (for tape drives). This | ||
10 | "split-brained" design of the cciss driver is a source of excess | ||
11 | complexity and eliminating that complexity is one of the reasons | ||
12 | for hpsa to exist. | ||
13 | |||
14 | Supported devices: | ||
15 | ------------------ | ||
16 | |||
17 | Smart Array P212 | ||
18 | Smart Array P410 | ||
19 | Smart Array P410i | ||
20 | Smart Array P411 | ||
21 | Smart Array P812 | ||
22 | Smart Array P712m | ||
23 | Smart Array P711m | ||
24 | StorageWorks P1210m | ||
25 | |||
26 | Additionally, older Smart Arrays may work with the hpsa driver if the kernel | ||
27 | boot parameter "hpsa_allow_any=1" is specified, however these are not tested | ||
28 | nor supported by HP with this driver. For older Smart Arrays, the cciss | ||
29 | driver should still be used. | ||
30 | |||
31 | HPSA specific entries in /sys | ||
32 | ----------------------------- | ||
33 | |||
34 | In addition to the generic SCSI attributes available in /sys, hpsa supports | ||
35 | the following attributes: | ||
36 | |||
37 | HPSA specific host attributes: | ||
38 | ------------------------------ | ||
39 | |||
40 | /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/rescan | ||
41 | /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/firmware_revision | ||
42 | |||
43 | the host "rescan" attribute is a write only attribute. Writing to this | ||
44 | attribute will cause the driver to scan for new, changed, or removed devices | ||
45 | (e.g. hot-plugged tape drives, or newly configured or deleted logical drives, | ||
46 | etc.) and notify the SCSI midlayer of any changes detected. Normally this is | ||
47 | triggered automatically by HP's Array Configuration Utility (either the GUI or | ||
48 | command line variety) so for logical drive changes, the user should not | ||
49 | normally have to use this. It may be useful when hot plugging devices like | ||
50 | tape drives, or entire storage boxes containing pre-configured logical drives. | ||
51 | |||
52 | The "firmware_revision" attribute contains the firmware version of the Smart Array. | ||
53 | For example: | ||
54 | |||
55 | root@host:/sys/class/scsi_host/host4# cat firmware_revision | ||
56 | 7.14 | ||
57 | |||
58 | HPSA specific disk attributes: | ||
59 | ------------------------------ | ||
60 | |||
61 | /sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/unique_id | ||
62 | /sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/raid_level | ||
63 | /sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/lunid | ||
64 | |||
65 | (where c:b:t:l are the controller, bus, target and lun of the device) | ||
66 | |||
67 | For example: | ||
68 | |||
69 | root@host:/sys/class/scsi_disk/4:0:0:0/device# cat unique_id | ||
70 | 600508B1001044395355323037570F77 | ||
71 | root@host:/sys/class/scsi_disk/4:0:0:0/device# cat lunid | ||
72 | 0x0000004000000000 | ||
73 | root@host:/sys/class/scsi_disk/4:0:0:0/device# cat raid_level | ||
74 | RAID 0 | ||
75 | |||
76 | HPSA specific ioctls: | ||
77 | --------------------- | ||
78 | |||
79 | For compatibility with applications written for the cciss driver, many, but | ||
80 | not all of the ioctls supported by the cciss driver are also supported by the | ||
81 | hpsa driver. The data structures used by these are described in | ||
82 | include/linux/cciss_ioctl.h | ||
83 | |||
84 | CCISS_DEREGDISK | ||
85 | CCISS_REGNEWDISK | ||
86 | CCISS_REGNEWD | ||
87 | |||
88 | The above three ioctls all do exactly the same thing, which is to cause the driver | ||
89 | to rescan for new devices. This does exactly the same thing as writing to the | ||
90 | hpsa specific host "rescan" attribute. | ||
91 | |||
92 | CCISS_GETPCIINFO | ||
93 | |||
94 | Returns PCI domain, bus, device and function and "board ID" (PCI subsystem ID). | ||
95 | |||
96 | CCISS_GETDRIVVER | ||
97 | |||
98 | Returns driver version in three bytes encoded as: | ||
99 | (major_version << 16) | (minor_version << 8) | (subminor_version) | ||
100 | |||
101 | CCISS_PASSTHRU | ||
102 | CCISS_BIG_PASSTHRU | ||
103 | |||
104 | Allows "BMIC" and "CISS" commands to be passed through to the Smart Array. | ||
105 | These are used extensively by the HP Array Configuration Utility, SNMP storage | ||
106 | agents, etc. See cciss_vol_status at http://cciss.sf.net for some examples. | ||

2 | SLOW WORK ITEM EXECUTION THREAD POOL | ||
3 | ==================================== | ||
4 | |||
5 | By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> | ||
6 | |||
7 | The slow work item execution thread pool is a pool of threads for performing | ||
8 | things that take a relatively long time, such as making mkdir calls. | ||
9 | Typically, when processing something, these items will spend a lot of time | ||
10 | blocking a thread on I/O, thus making that thread unavailable for doing other | ||
11 | work. | ||
12 | |||
13 | The standard workqueue model is unsuitable for this class of work item as that | ||
14 | limits the owner to a single thread or a single thread per CPU. For some | ||
15 | tasks, however, more threads - or fewer - are required. | ||
16 | |||
17 | There is just one pool per system. It contains no threads unless something | ||
18 | wants to use it - and that something must register its interest first. When | ||
19 | the pool is active, the number of threads it contains is dynamic, varying | ||
20 | between a maximum and minimum setting, depending on the load. | ||
21 | |||
22 | |||
23 | ==================== | ||
24 | CLASSES OF WORK ITEM | ||
25 | ==================== | ||
26 | |||
27 | This pool support two classes of work items: | ||
28 | |||
29 | (*) Slow work items. | ||
30 | |||
31 | (*) Very slow work items. | ||
32 | |||
33 | The former are expected to finish much quicker than the latter. | ||
34 | |||
35 | An operation of the very slow class may do a batch combination of several | ||
36 | lookups, mkdirs, and a create for instance. | ||
37 | |||
38 | An operation of the ordinarily slow class may, for example, write stuff or | ||
39 | expand files, provided the time taken to do so isn't too long. | ||
40 | |||
41 | Operations of both types may sleep during execution, thus tying up the thread | ||
42 | loaned to it. | ||
43 | |||
44 | A further class of work item is available, based on the slow work item class: | ||
45 | |||
46 | (*) Delayed slow work items. | ||
47 | |||
48 | These are slow work items that have a timer to defer queueing of the item for | ||
49 | a while. | ||
50 | |||
51 | |||
52 | THREAD-TO-CLASS ALLOCATION | ||
53 | -------------------------- | ||
54 | |||
55 | Not all the threads in the pool are available to work on very slow work items. | ||
56 | The number will be between one and one fewer than the number of active threads. | ||
57 | This is configurable (see the "Pool Configuration" section). | ||
58 | |||
59 | All the threads are available to work on ordinarily slow work items, but a | ||
60 | percentage of the threads will prefer to work on very slow work items. | ||
61 | |||
62 | The configuration ensures that at least one thread will be available to work on | ||
63 | very slow work items, and at least one thread will be available that won't work | ||
64 | on very slow work items at all. | ||
65 | |||
66 | |||
67 | ===================== | ||
68 | USING SLOW WORK ITEMS | ||
69 | ===================== | ||
70 | |||
71 | Firstly, a module or subsystem wanting to make use of slow work items must | ||
72 | register its interest: | ||
73 | |||
74 | int ret = slow_work_register_user(struct module *module); | ||
75 | |||
76 | This will return 0 if successful, or a -ve error upon failure. The module | ||
77 | pointer should be the module interested in using this facility (almost | ||
78 | certainly THIS_MODULE). | ||
79 | |||
80 | |||
81 | Slow work items may then be set up by: | ||
82 | |||
83 | (1) Declaring a slow_work struct type variable: | ||
84 | |||
85 | #include <linux/slow-work.h> | ||
86 | |||
87 | struct slow_work myitem; | ||
88 | |||
89 | (2) Declaring the operations to be used for this item: | ||
90 | |||
91 | struct slow_work_ops myitem_ops = { | ||
92 | .get_ref = myitem_get_ref, | ||
93 | .put_ref = myitem_put_ref, | ||
94 | .execute = myitem_execute, | ||
95 | }; | ||
96 | |||
97 | [*] For a description of the ops, see section "Item Operations". | ||
98 | |||
99 | (3) Initialising the item: | ||
100 | |||
101 | slow_work_init(&myitem, &myitem_ops); | ||
102 | |||
103 | or: | ||
104 | |||
105 | delayed_slow_work_init(&myitem, &myitem_ops); | ||
106 | |||
107 | or: | ||
108 | |||
109 | vslow_work_init(&myitem, &myitem_ops); | ||
110 | |||
111 | depending on its class. | ||
112 | |||
113 | A suitably set up work item can then be enqueued for processing: | ||
114 | |||
115 | int ret = slow_work_enqueue(&myitem); | ||
116 | |||
117 | This will return a -ve error if the thread pool is unable to gain a reference | ||
118 | on the item, 0 otherwise, or (for delayed work): | ||
119 | |||
120 | int ret = delayed_slow_work_enqueue(&myitem, my_jiffy_delay); | ||
121 | |||
122 | |||
123 | The items are reference counted, so there ought to be no need for a flush | ||
124 | operation. But as the reference counting is optional, means to cancel | ||
125 | existing work items are also included: | ||
126 | |||
127 | cancel_slow_work(&myitem); | ||
128 | cancel_delayed_slow_work(&myitem); | ||
129 | |||
130 | can be used to cancel pending work. The above cancel function waits for | ||
131 | existing work to have been executed (or prevent execution of them, depending | ||
132 | on timing). | ||
133 | |||
134 | |||
135 | When all a module's slow work items have been processed, and the | ||
136 | module has no further interest in the facility, it should unregister its | ||
137 | interest: | ||
138 | |||
139 | slow_work_unregister_user(struct module *module); | ||
140 | |||
141 | The module pointer is used to wait for all outstanding work items for that | ||
142 | module before completing the unregistration. This prevents the put_ref() code | ||
143 | from being taken away before it completes. module should almost certainly be | ||
144 | THIS_MODULE. | ||
145 | |||
146 | |||
147 | ================ | ||
148 | HELPER FUNCTIONS | ||
149 | ================ | ||
150 | |||
151 | The slow-work facility provides a function by which it can be determined | ||
152 | whether or not an item is queued for later execution: | ||
153 | |||
154 | bool queued = slow_work_is_queued(struct slow_work *work); | ||
155 | |||
156 | If it returns false, then the item is not on the queue (it may be executing | ||
157 | with a requeue pending). This can be used to work out whether an item on which | ||
158 | another depends is on the queue, thus allowing a dependent item to be queued | ||
159 | after it. | ||
160 | |||
161 | If the above shows an item on which another depends not to be queued, then the | ||
162 | owner of the dependent item might need to wait. However, to avoid locking up | ||
163 | the threads unnecessarily be sleeping in them, it can make sense under some | ||
164 | circumstances to return the work item to the queue, thus deferring it until | ||
165 | some other items have had a chance to make use of the yielded thread. | ||
166 | |||
167 | To yield a thread and defer an item, the work function should simply enqueue | ||
168 | the work item again and return. However, this doesn't work if there's nothing | ||
169 | actually on the queue, as the thread just vacated will jump straight back into | ||
170 | the item's work function, thus busy waiting on a CPU. | ||
171 | |||
172 | Instead, the item should use the thread to wait for the dependency to go away, | ||
173 | but rather than using schedule() or schedule_timeout() to sleep, it should use | ||
174 | the following function: | ||
175 | |||
176 | bool requeue = slow_work_sleep_till_thread_needed( | ||
177 | struct slow_work *work, | ||
178 | signed long *_timeout); | ||
179 | |||
180 | This will add a second wait and then sleep, such that it will be woken up if | ||
181 | either something appears on the queue that could usefully make use of the | ||
182 | thread - and behind which this item can be queued, or if the event the caller | ||
183 | set up to wait for happens. True will be returned if something else appeared | ||
184 | on the queue and this work function should perhaps return, of false if | ||
185 | something else woke it up. The timeout is as for schedule_timeout(). | ||
186 | |||
187 | For example: | ||
188 | |||

206 | =============== | ||
207 | ITEM OPERATIONS | ||
208 | =============== | ||
209 | |||
210 | Each work item requires a table of operations of type struct slow_work_ops. | ||
211 | Only ->execute() is required; the getting and putting of a reference and the | ||
212 | describing of an item are all optional. | ||
213 | |||
214 | (*) Get a reference on an item: | ||
215 | |||
216 | int (*get_ref)(struct slow_work *work); | ||
217 | |||
218 | This allows the thread pool to attempt to pin an item by getting a | ||
219 | reference on it. This function should return 0 if the reference was | ||
220 | granted, or a -ve error otherwise. If an error is returned, | ||
221 | slow_work_enqueue() will fail. | ||
222 | |||
223 | The reference is held whilst the item is queued and whilst it is being | ||
224 | executed. The item may then be requeued with the same reference held, or | ||
225 | the reference will be released. | ||
226 | |||
227 | (*) Release a reference on an item: | ||
228 | |||
229 | void (*put_ref)(struct slow_work *work); | ||
230 | |||
231 | This allows the thread pool to unpin an item by releasing the reference on | ||
232 | it. The thread pool will not touch the item again once this has been | ||
233 | called. | ||
234 | |||
235 | (*) Execute an item: | ||
236 | |||
237 | void (*execute)(struct slow_work *work); | ||
238 | |||
239 | This should perform the work required of the item. It may sleep, it may | ||
240 | perform disk I/O and it may wait for locks. | ||
241 | |||
242 | (*) View an item through /proc: | ||
243 | |||
244 | void (*desc)(struct slow_work *work, struct seq_file *m); | ||
245 | |||
246 | If supplied, this should print to 'm' a small string describing the work | ||
247 | the item is to do. This should be no more than about 40 characters, and | ||
248 | shouldn't include a newline character. | ||
249 | |||
250 | See the 'Viewing executing and queued items' section below. | ||
251 | |||
252 | |||
253 | ================== | ||
254 | POOL CONFIGURATION | ||
255 | ================== | ||
256 | |||
257 | The slow-work thread pool has a number of configurables: | ||
258 | |||
259 | (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/min-threads | ||
260 | |||
261 | The minimum number of threads that should be in the pool whilst it is in | ||
262 | use. This may be anywhere between 2 and max-threads. | ||
263 | |||
264 | (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/max-threads | ||
265 | |||
266 | The maximum number of threads that should in the pool. This may be | ||
267 | anywhere between min-threads and 255 or NR_CPUS * 2, whichever is greater. | ||
268 | |||
269 | (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/vslow-percentage | ||
270 | |||
271 | The percentage of active threads in the pool that may be used to execute | ||
272 | very slow work items. This may be between 1 and 99. The resultant number | ||
273 | is bounded to between 1 and one fewer than the number of active threads. | ||
274 | This ensures there is always at least one thread that can process very | ||
275 | slow work items, and always at least one thread that won't. | ||
276 | |||
277 | |||
278 | ================================== | ||
279 | VIEWING EXECUTING AND QUEUED ITEMS | ||
280 | ================================== | ||
281 | |||
282 | If CONFIG_SLOW_WORK_DEBUG is enabled, a debugfs file is made available: | ||
283 | |||
284 | /sys/kernel/debug/slow_work/runqueue | ||
285 | |||
286 | through which the list of work items being executed and the queues of items to | ||
287 | be executed may be viewed. The owner of a work item is given the chance to | ||
288 | add some information of its own. | ||
289 | |||
290 | The contents look something like the following: | ||

317 | In the 'THR' column, executing items show the thread they're occupying and | ||
318 | queued threads indicate which queue they're on. 'PID' shows the process ID of | ||
319 | a slow-work thread that's executing something. 'FL' shows the work item flags. | ||
320 | 'MARK' indicates how long since an item was queued or began executing. Lastly, | ||
321 | the 'DESC' column permits the owner of an item to give some information. | ||

1 | Cirrus EP93xx SPI controller driver HOWTO | ||
2 | ========================================= | ||
3 | |||
4 | ep93xx_spi driver brings SPI master support for EP93xx SPI controller. Chip | ||
5 | selects are implemented with GPIO lines. | ||
6 | |||
7 | NOTE: If possible, don't use SFRMOUT (SFRM1) signal as a chip select. It will | ||
8 | not work correctly (it cannot be controlled by software). Use GPIO lines | ||
9 | instead. | ||
10 | |||
11 | Sample configuration | ||
12 | ==================== | ||
13 | |||
14 | Typically driver configuration is done in platform board files (the files under | ||
15 | arch/arm/mach-ep93xx/*.c). In this example we configure MMC over SPI through | ||
16 | this driver on TS-7260 board. You can adapt the code to suit your needs. | ||
17 | |||
18 | This example uses EGPIO9 as SD/MMC card chip select (this is wired in DIO1 | ||
19 | header on the board). | ||
20 | |||
21 | You need to select CONFIG_MMC_SPI to use mmc_spi driver. | ||

1 | delays - Information on the various kernel delay / sleep mechanisms | ||
2 | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
3 | |||
4 | This document seeks to answer the common question: "What is the | ||
5 | RightWay (TM) to insert a delay?" | ||
6 | |||
7 | This question is most often faced by driver writers who have to | ||
8 | deal with hardware delays and who may not be the most intimately | ||
9 | familiar with the inner workings of the Linux Kernel. | ||
10 | |||
11 | |||
12 | Inserting Delays | ||
13 | ---------------- | ||
14 | |||
15 | The first, and most important, question you need to ask is "Is my | ||
16 | code in an atomic context?" This should be followed closely by "Does | ||
17 | it really need to delay in atomic context?" If so... | ||
18 | |||
19 | ATOMIC CONTEXT: | ||
20 | You must use the *delay family of functions. These | ||
21 | functions use the jiffie estimation of clock speed | ||
22 | and will busy wait for enough loop cycles to achieve | ||
23 | the desired delay: | ||
24 | |||
25 | ndelay(unsigned long nsecs) | ||
26 | udelay(unsigned long usecs) | ||
27 | mdelay(unsgined long msecs) | ||
28 | |||
29 | udelay is the generally preferred API; ndelay-level | ||
30 | precision may not actually exist on many non-PC devices. | ||
31 | |||
32 | mdelay is macro wrapper around udelay, to account for | ||
33 | possible overflow when passing large arguments to udelay. | ||
34 | In general, use of mdelay is discouraged and code should | ||
35 | be refactored to allow for the use of msleep. | ||
36 | |||
37 | NON-ATOMIC CONTEXT: | ||
38 | You should use the *sleep[_range] family of functions. | ||
39 | There are a few more options here, while any of them may | ||
40 | work correctly, using the "right" sleep function will | ||
41 | help the scheduler, power management, and just make your | ||
42 | driver better :) | ||
43 | |||
44 | -- Backed by busy-wait loop: | ||
45 | udelay(unsigned long usecs) | ||
46 | -- Backed by hrtimers: | ||
47 | usleep_range(unsigned long min, unsigned long max) | ||
48 | -- Backed by jiffies / legacy_timers | ||
49 | msleep(unsigned long msecs) | ||
50 | msleep_interruptible(unsigned long msecs) | ||
51 | |||
52 | Unlike the *delay family, the underlying mechanism | ||
53 | driving each of these calls varies, thus there are | ||
54 | quirks you should be aware of. | ||
55 | |||
56 | |||
57 | SLEEPING FOR "A FEW" USECS ( < ~10us? ): | ||
58 | * Use udelay | ||
59 | |||
60 | - Why not usleep? | ||
61 | On slower systems, (embedded, OR perhaps a speed- | ||
62 | stepped PC!) the overhead of setting up the hrtimers | ||
63 | for usleep *may* not be worth it. Such an evaluation | ||
64 | will obviously depend on your specific situation, but | ||
65 | it is something to be aware of. | ||
66 | |||
67 | SLEEPING FOR ~USECS OR SMALL MSECS ( 10us - 20ms): | ||
68 | * Use usleep_range | ||
69 | |||
70 | - Why not msleep for (1ms - 20ms)? | ||
71 | Explained originally here: | ||
72 | http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/3/250 | ||
73 | msleep(1~20) may not do what the caller intends, and | ||
74 | will often sleep longer (~20 ms actual sleep for any | ||
75 | value given in the 1~20ms range). In many cases this | ||
76 | is not the desired behavior. | ||
77 | |||
78 | - Why is there no "usleep" / What is a good range? | ||
79 | Since usleep_range is built on top of hrtimers, the | ||
80 | wakeup will be very precise (ish), thus a simple | ||
81 | usleep function would likely introduce a large number | ||
82 | of undesired interrupts. | ||
83 | |||
84 | With the introduction of a range, the scheduler is | ||
85 | free to coalesce your wakeup with any other wakeup | ||
86 | that may have happened for other reasons, or at the | ||
87 | worst case, fire an interrupt for your upper bound. | ||
88 | |||
89 | The larger a range you supply, the greater a chance | ||
90 | that you will not trigger an interrupt; this should | ||
91 | be balanced with what is an acceptable upper bound on | ||
92 | delay / performance for your specific code path. Exact | ||
93 | tolerances here are very situation specific, thus it | ||
94 | is left to the caller to determine a reasonable range. | ||
95 | |||
96 | SLEEPING FOR LARGER MSECS ( 10ms+ ) | ||
97 | * Use msleep or possibly msleep_interruptible | ||
98 | |||
99 | - What's the difference? | ||
100 | msleep sets the current task to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE | ||
101 | whereas msleep_interruptible sets the current task to | ||
102 | TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE before scheduling the sleep. In | ||
103 | short, the difference is whether the sleep can be ended | ||
104 | early by a signal. In general, just use msleep unless | ||
105 | you know you have a need for the interruptible variant. | ||

216 | |||
217 | An arch may pass in a unique value (frame pointer) to both the entering and | ||
218 | exiting of a function. On exit, the value is compared and if it does not | ||
219 | match, then it will panic the kernel. This is largely a sanity check for bad | ||
220 | code generation with gcc. If gcc for your port sanely updates the frame | ||
221 | pointer under different optimization levels, then ignore this option. | ||
222 | |||
223 | However, adding support for it isn't terribly difficult. In your assembly code | ||
224 | that calls prepare_ftrace_return(), pass the frame pointer as the 3rd argument. | ||
225 | Then in the C version of that function, do what the x86 port does and pass it | ||
226 | along to ftrace_push_return_trace() instead of a stub value of 0. | ||

235 | 259 | ||
260 | |||
261 | HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE | ||
262 | ------------------- | ||
263 | |||
264 | You will first need HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD and HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACER, so | ||
265 | scroll your reader back up if you got over eager. | ||
266 | |||
267 | Once those are out of the way, you will need to implement: | ||
268 | - asm/ftrace.h: | ||
269 | - MCOUNT_ADDR | ||
270 | - ftrace_call_adjust() | ||
271 | - struct dyn_arch_ftrace{} | ||
272 | - asm code: | ||
273 | - mcount() (new stub) | ||
274 | - ftrace_caller() | ||
275 | - ftrace_call() | ||
276 | - ftrace_stub() | ||
277 | - C code: | ||
278 | - ftrace_dyn_arch_init() | ||
279 | - ftrace_make_nop() | ||
280 | - ftrace_make_call() | ||
281 | - ftrace_update_ftrace_func() | ||
282 | |||
283 | First you will need to fill out some arch details in your asm/ftrace.h. | ||
284 | |||
285 | Define MCOUNT_ADDR as the address of your mcount symbol similar to: | ||
286 | #define MCOUNT_ADDR ((unsigned long)mcount) | ||
287 | Since no one else will have a decl for that function, you will need to: | ||
288 | extern void mcount(void); | ||
289 | |||
290 | You will also need the helper function ftrace_call_adjust(). Most people | ||
291 | will be able to stub it out like so: | ||
292 | static inline unsigned long ftrace_call_adjust(unsigned long addr) | ||
293 | { | ||
294 | return addr; | ||
295 | } | ||
236 | <details to be filled> | 296 | <details to be filled> |
237 | 297 | ||
298 | Lastly you will need the custom dyn_arch_ftrace structure. If you need | ||
299 | some extra state when runtime patching arbitrary call sites, this is the | ||
300 | place. For now though, create an empty struct: | ||
301 | struct dyn_arch_ftrace { | ||
302 | /* No extra data needed */ | ||
303 | }; | ||
304 | |||
305 | With the header out of the way, we can fill out the assembly code. While we | ||
306 | did already create a mcount() function earlier, dynamic ftrace only wants a | ||
307 | stub function. This is because the mcount() will only be used during boot | ||
308 | and then all references to it will be patched out never to return. Instead, | ||
309 | the guts of the old mcount() will be used to create a new ftrace_caller() | ||
310 | function. Because the two are hard to merge, it will most likely be a lot | ||
311 | easier to have two separate definitions split up by #ifdefs. Same goes for | ||
312 | the ftrace_stub() as that will now be inlined in ftrace_caller(). | ||
313 | |||
314 | Before we get confused anymore, let's check out some pseudo code so you can | ||
315 | implement your own stuff in assembly: | ||
238 | 316 | ||
239 | HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE | 317 | void mcount(void) |
240 | --------------------- | 318 | { |
319 | return; | ||
320 | } | ||
321 | |||
322 | void ftrace_caller(void) | ||
323 | { | ||
324 | /* implement HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST if you desire */ | ||
325 | |||
326 | /* save all state needed by the ABI (see paragraph above) */ | ||
327 | |||
328 | unsigned long frompc = ...; | ||
329 | unsigned long selfpc = <return address> - MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE; | ||
330 | |||
331 | ftrace_call: | ||
332 | ftrace_stub(frompc, selfpc); | ||
333 | |||
334 | /* restore all state needed by the ABI */ | ||
335 | |||
336 | ftrace_stub: | ||
337 | return; | ||
338 | } | ||
339 | |||
340 | This might look a little odd at first, but keep in mind that we will be runtime | ||
341 | patching multiple things. First, only functions that we actually want to trace | ||
342 | will be patched to call ftrace_caller(). Second, since we only have one tracer | ||
343 | active at a time, we will patch the ftrace_caller() function itself to call the | ||
344 | specific tracer in question. That is the point of the ftrace_call label. | ||
345 | |||
346 | With that in mind, let's move on to the C code that will actually be doing the | ||
347 | runtime patching. You'll need a little knowledge of your arch's opcodes in | ||
348 | order to make it through the next section. | ||
349 | |||
350 | Every arch has an init callback function. If you need to do something early on | ||
351 | to initialize some state, this is the time to do that. Otherwise, this simple | ||
352 | function below should be sufficient for most people: | ||
353 | |||
354 | int __init ftrace_dyn_arch_init(void *data) | ||

362 | There are two functions that are used to do runtime patching of arbitrary | ||
363 | functions. The first is used to turn the mcount call site into a nop (which | ||
364 | is what helps us retain runtime performance when not tracing). The second is | ||
365 | used to turn the mcount call site into a call to an arbitrary location (but | ||
366 | typically that is ftracer_caller()). See the general function definition in | ||
367 | linux/ftrace.h for the functions: | ||
368 | ftrace_make_nop() | ||
369 | ftrace_make_call() | ||
370 | The rec->ip value is the address of the mcount call site that was collected | ||
371 | by the scripts/recordmcount.pl during build time. | ||
372 | |||
373 | The last function is used to do runtime patching of the active tracer. This | ||
374 | will be modifying the assembly code at the location of the ftrace_call symbol | ||
375 | inside of the ftrace_caller() function. So you should have sufficient padding | ||
376 | at that location to support the new function calls you'll be inserting. Some | ||
377 | people will be using a "call" type instruction while others will be using a | ||
378 | "branch" type instruction. Specifically, the function is: | ||
379 | ftrace_update_ftrace_func() | ||
380 | |||
381 | |||
382 | HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE + HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER | ||
383 | ------------------------------------------------ | ||
384 | |||
385 | The function grapher needs a few tweaks in order to work with dynamic ftrace. | ||
386 | Basically, you will need to: | ||
387 | - update: | ||
388 | - ftrace_caller() | ||
389 | - ftrace_graph_call() | ||
390 | - ftrace_graph_caller() | ||
391 | - implement: | ||

393 | - ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() | ||
241 | 394 | ||
242 | <details to be filled> | 395 | <details to be filled> |
396 | Quick notes: | ||
397 | - add a nop stub after the ftrace_call location named ftrace_graph_call; | ||
398 | stub needs to be large enough to support a call to ftrace_graph_caller() | ||
399 | - update ftrace_graph_caller() to work with being called by the new | ||
400 | ftrace_caller() since some semantics may have changed | ||
401 | - ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() will runtime patch the | ||
402 | ftrace_graph_call location with a call to ftrace_graph_caller() | ||
403 | - ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() will runtime patch the | ||

1830 | Filter commands | ||
1831 | --------------- | ||
1832 | |||
1833 | A few commands are supported by the set_ftrace_filter interface. | ||
1834 | Trace commands have the following format: | ||
1835 | |||
1836 | <function>:<command>:<parameter> | ||
1837 | |||
1838 | The following commands are supported: | ||
1839 | |||
1840 | - mod | ||
1841 | This command enables function filtering per module. The | ||
1842 | parameter defines the module. For example, if only the write* | ||
1843 | functions in the ext3 module are desired, run: | ||
1844 | |||
1845 | echo 'write*:mod:ext3' > set_ftrace_filter | ||
1846 | |||
1847 | This command interacts with the filter in the same way as | ||
1848 | filtering based on function names. Thus, adding more functions | ||
1849 | in a different module is accomplished by appending (>>) to the | ||
1850 | filter file. Remove specific module functions by prepending | ||
1851 | '!': | ||
1852 | |||
1853 | echo '!writeback*:mod:ext3' >> set_ftrace_filter | ||
1854 | |||
1855 | - traceon/traceoff | ||
1856 | These commands turn tracing on and off when the specified | ||
1857 | functions are hit. The parameter determines how many times the | ||
1858 | tracing system is turned on and off. If unspecified, there is | ||
1859 | no limit. For example, to disable tracing when a schedule bug | ||
1860 | is hit the first 5 times, run: | ||
1861 | |||
1862 | echo '__schedule_bug:traceoff:5' > set_ftrace_filter | ||
1863 | |||
1864 | These commands are cumulative whether or not they are appended | ||
1865 | to set_ftrace_filter. To remove a command, prepend it by '!' | ||
1866 | and drop the parameter: | ||
1867 | |||
1868 | echo '!__schedule_bug:traceoff' > set_ftrace_filter | ||

1 | kmemtrace - Kernel Memory Tracer | ||
2 | |||
3 | by Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu | ||
4 | <eduard.munteanu@linux360.ro> | ||
5 | |||
6 | I. Introduction | ||
7 | =============== | ||
8 | |||
9 | kmemtrace helps kernel developers figure out two things: | ||
10 | 1) how different allocators (SLAB, SLUB etc.) perform | ||
11 | 2) how kernel code allocates memory and how much | ||
12 | |||
13 | To do this, we trace every allocation and export information to the userspace | ||
14 | through the relay interface. We export things such as the number of requested | ||
15 | bytes, the number of bytes actually allocated (i.e. including internal | ||
16 | fragmentation), whether this is a slab allocation or a plain kmalloc() and so | ||
17 | on. | ||
18 | |||
19 | The actual analysis is performed by a userspace tool (see section III for | ||
20 | details on where to get it from). It logs the data exported by the kernel, | ||
21 | processes it and (as of writing this) can provide the following information: | ||
22 | - the total amount of memory allocated and fragmentation per call-site | ||
23 | - the amount of memory allocated and fragmentation per allocation | ||
24 | - total memory allocated and fragmentation in the collected dataset | ||
25 | - number of cross-CPU allocation and frees (makes sense in NUMA environments) | ||
26 | |||
27 | Moreover, it can potentially find inconsistent and erroneous behavior in | ||
28 | kernel code, such as using slab free functions on kmalloc'ed memory or | ||
29 | allocating less memory than requested (but not truly failed allocations). | ||
30 | |||
31 | kmemtrace also makes provisions for tracing on some arch and analysing the | ||
32 | data on another. | ||
33 | |||
34 | II. Design and goals | ||
35 | ==================== | ||
36 | |||
37 | kmemtrace was designed to handle rather large amounts of data. Thus, it uses | ||
38 | the relay interface to export whatever is logged to userspace, which then | ||
39 | stores it. Analysis and reporting is done asynchronously, that is, after the | ||
40 | data is collected and stored. By design, it allows one to log and analyse | ||
41 | on different machines and different arches. | ||
42 | |||
43 | As of writing this, the ABI is not considered stable, though it might not | ||
44 | change much. However, no guarantees are made about compatibility yet. When | ||
45 | deemed stable, the ABI should still allow easy extension while maintaining | ||
46 | backward compatibility. This is described further in Documentation/ABI. | ||
47 | |||
48 | Summary of design goals: | ||
49 | - allow logging and analysis to be done across different machines | ||
50 | - be fast and anticipate usage in high-load environments (*) | ||
51 | - be reasonably extensible | ||
52 | - make it possible for GNU/Linux distributions to have kmemtrace | ||
53 | included in their repositories | ||
54 | |||
55 | (*) - one of the reasons Pekka Enberg's original userspace data analysis | ||
56 | tool's code was rewritten from Perl to C (although this is more than a | ||
57 | simple conversion) | ||
58 | |||
59 | |||
60 | III. Quick usage guide | ||
61 | ====================== | ||
62 | |||
63 | 1) Get a kernel that supports kmemtrace and build it accordingly (i.e. enable | ||
64 | CONFIG_KMEMTRACE). | ||
65 | |||
66 | 2) Get the userspace tool and build it: | ||
67 | $ git clone git://repo.or.cz/kmemtrace-user.git # current repository | ||
68 | $ cd kmemtrace-user/ | ||
69 | $ ./autogen.sh | ||
70 | $ ./configure | ||
71 | $ make | ||
72 | |||
73 | 3) Boot the kmemtrace-enabled kernel if you haven't, preferably in the | ||
74 | 'single' runlevel (so that relay buffers don't fill up easily), and run | ||
75 | kmemtrace: | ||
76 | # '$' does not mean user, but root here. | ||
77 | $ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug | ||
78 | $ mount -t proc none /proc | ||
79 | $ cd path/to/kmemtrace-user/ | ||
80 | $ ./kmemtraced | ||
81 | Wait a bit, then stop it with CTRL+C. | ||
82 | $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemtrace/total_overruns # Check if we didn't | ||
83 | # overrun, should | ||
84 | # be zero. | ||
85 | $ (Optionally) [Run kmemtrace_check separately on each cpu[0-9]*.out file to | ||
86 | check its correctness] | ||
87 | $ ./kmemtrace-report | ||
88 | |||
89 | Now you should have a nice and short summary of how the allocator performs. | ||
90 | |||
91 | IV. FAQ and known issues | ||
92 | ======================== | ||
93 | |||
94 | Q: 'cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemtrace/total_overruns' is non-zero, how do I fix | ||
95 | this? Should I worry? | ||
96 | A: If it's non-zero, this affects kmemtrace's accuracy, depending on how | ||
97 | large the number is. You can fix it by supplying a higher | ||
98 | 'kmemtrace.subbufs=N' kernel parameter. | ||
99 | --- | ||
100 | |||
101 | Q: kmemtrace_check reports errors, how do I fix this? Should I worry? | ||
102 | A: This is a bug and should be reported. It can occur for a variety of | ||
103 | reasons: | ||
104 | - possible bugs in relay code | ||
105 | - possible misuse of relay by kmemtrace | ||
106 | - timestamps being collected unorderly | ||
107 | Or you may fix it yourself and send us a patch. | ||
108 | --- | ||
109 | |||
110 | Q: kmemtrace_report shows many errors, how do I fix this? Should I worry? | ||
111 | A: This is a known issue and I'm working on it. These might be true errors | ||
112 | in kernel code, which may have inconsistent behavior (e.g. allocating memory | ||
113 | with kmem_cache_alloc() and freeing it with kfree()). Pekka Enberg pointed | ||
114 | out this behavior may work with SLAB, but may fail with other allocators. | ||
115 | |||
116 | It may also be due to lack of tracing in some unusual allocator functions. | ||
117 | |||
118 | We don't want bug reports regarding this issue yet. | ||

2 | # This is a POC for reading the text representation of trace output related to | ||
3 | # page reclaim. It makes an attempt to extract some high-level information on | ||
4 | # what is going on. The accuracy of the parser may vary | ||
5 | # | ||
6 | # Example usage: trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl < /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe | ||
7 | # other options | ||
8 | # --read-procstat If the trace lacks process info, get it from /proc | ||
9 | # --ignore-pid Aggregate processes of the same name together | ||

1 | Background | ||
2 | ========== | ||
3 | |||
4 | Bulk endpoint streams were added in the USB 3.0 specification. Streams allow a | ||
5 | device driver to overload a bulk endpoint so that multiple transfers can be | ||
6 | queued at once. | ||
7 | |||
8 | Streams are defined in sections 4.4.6.4 and 8.12.1.4 of the Universal Serial Bus | ||
9 | 3.0 specification at http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/ The USB Attached SCSI | ||
10 | Protocol, which uses streams to queue multiple SCSI commands, can be found on | ||
11 | the T10 website (http://t10.org/). | ||
12 | |||
13 | |||
14 | Device-side implications | ||
15 | ======================== | ||
16 | |||
17 | Once a buffer has been queued to a stream ring, the device is notified (through | ||
18 | an out-of-band mechanism on another endpoint) that data is ready for that stream | ||
19 | ID. The device then tells the host which "stream" it wants to start. The host | ||
20 | can also initiate a transfer on a stream without the device asking, but the | ||
21 | device can refuse that transfer. Devices can switch between streams at any | ||
22 | time. | ||
23 | |||
24 | |||
25 | Driver implications | ||
26 | =================== | ||
27 | |||
28 | int usb_alloc_streams(struct usb_interface *interface, | ||
29 | struct usb_host_endpoint **eps, unsigned int num_eps, | ||
30 | unsigned int num_streams, gfp_t mem_flags); | ||
31 | |||
32 | Device drivers will call this API to request that the host controller driver | ||
33 | allocate memory so the driver can use up to num_streams stream IDs. They must | ||
34 | pass an array of usb_host_endpoints that need to be setup with similar stream | ||
35 | IDs. This is to ensure that a UASP driver will be able to use the same stream | ||
36 | ID for the bulk IN and OUT endpoints used in a Bi-directional command sequence. | ||
37 | |||
38 | The return value is an error condition (if one of the endpoints doesn't support | ||
39 | streams, or the xHCI driver ran out of memory), or the number of streams the | ||
40 | host controller allocated for this endpoint. The xHCI host controller hardware | ||
41 | declares how many stream IDs it can support, and each bulk endpoint on a | ||
42 | SuperSpeed device will say how many stream IDs it can handle. Therefore, | ||
43 | drivers should be able to deal with being allocated less stream IDs than they | ||
44 | requested. | ||
45 | |||
46 | Do NOT call this function if you have URBs enqueued for any of the endpoints | ||
47 | passed in as arguments. Do not call this function to request less than two | ||
48 | streams. | ||
49 | |||
50 | Drivers will only be allowed to call this API once for the same endpoint | ||
51 | without calling usb_free_streams(). This is a simplification for the xHCI host | ||
52 | controller driver, and may change in the future. | ||
53 | |||
54 | |||
55 | Picking new Stream IDs to use | ||
56 | ============================ | ||
57 | |||
58 | Stream ID 0 is reserved, and should not be used to communicate with devices. If | ||
59 | usb_alloc_streams() returns with a value of N, you may use streams 1 though N. | ||
60 | To queue an URB for a specific stream, set the urb->stream_id value. If the | ||
61 | endpoint does not support streams, an error will be returned. | ||
62 | |||
63 | Note that new API to choose the next stream ID will have to be added if the xHCI | ||
64 | driver supports secondary stream IDs. | ||
65 | |||
66 | |||
67 | Clean up | ||
68 | ======== | ||
69 | |||
70 | If a driver wishes to stop using streams to communicate with the device, it | ||
71 | should call | ||
72 | |||
73 | void usb_free_streams(struct usb_interface *interface, | ||
74 | struct usb_host_endpoint **eps, unsigned int num_eps, | ||
75 | gfp_t mem_flags); | ||
76 | |||
77 | All stream IDs will be deallocated when the driver releases the interface, to | ||
78 | ensure that drivers that don't support streams will be able to use the endpoint. | ||

2 | Linux USB HID gadget driver | ||
3 | |||
4 | Introduction | ||
5 | |||
6 | The HID Gadget driver provides emulation of USB Human Interface | ||
7 | Devices (HID). The basic HID handling is done in the kernel, | ||
8 | and HID reports can be sent/received through I/O on the | ||
9 | /dev/hidgX character devices. | ||
10 | |||
11 | For more details about HID, see the developer page on | ||
12 | http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/ | ||
13 | |||
14 | Configuration | ||
15 | |||
16 | g_hid is a platform driver, so to use it you need to add | ||
17 | struct platform_device(s) to your platform code defining the | ||
18 | HID function descriptors you want to use - E.G. something | ||
19 | like: | ||
20 | |||
21 | #include <linux/platform_device.h> | ||
22 | #include <linux/usb/g_hid.h> | ||

70 | .resource = 0, | ||
71 | .dev.platform_data = &my_hid_data, | ||
72 | }; | ||
73 | |||
74 | You can add as many HID functions as you want, only limited by | ||
75 | the amount of interrupt endpoints your gadget driver supports. | ||
76 | |||
77 | Send and receive HID reports | ||
78 | |||
79 | HID reports can be sent/received using read/write on the | ||
80 | /dev/hidgX character devices. See below for an example program | ||
81 | to do this. | ||
82 | |||
83 | hid_gadget_test is a small interactive program to test the HID | ||
84 | gadget driver. To use, point it at a hidg device and set the | ||
85 | device type (keyboard / mouse / joystick) - E.G.: | ||
86 | |||
87 | # hid_gadget_test /dev/hidg0 keyboard | ||
88 | |||
89 | You are now in the prompt of hid_gadget_test. You can type any | ||
90 | combination of options and values. Available options and | ||
91 | values are listed at program start. In keyboard mode you can | ||
92 | send up to six values. | ||
93 | |||
94 | For example type: g i s t r --left-shift | ||
95 | |||
96 | Hit return and the corresponding report will be sent by the | ||
97 | HID gadget. | ||
98 | |||
99 | Another interesting example is the caps lock test. Type | ||
100 | -–caps-lock and hit return. A report is then sent by the | ||
101 | gadget and you should receive the host answer, corresponding | ||
102 | to the caps lock LED status. | ||
103 | |||
104 | --caps-lock | ||
105 | recv report:2 | ||
106 | |||
107 | With this command: | ||
108 | |||
109 | # hid_gadget_test /dev/hidg1 mouse | ||
110 | |||
111 | You can test the mouse emulation. Values are two signed numbers. | ||

3 | * Overview | ||
4 | |||
5 | The Multifunction Composite Gadget (or g_multi) is a composite gadget | ||
6 | that makes extensive use of the composite framework to provide | ||
7 | a... multifunction gadget. | ||
8 | |||
9 | In it's standard configuration it provides a single USB configuration | ||
10 | with RNDIS[1] (that is Ethernet), USB CDC[2] ACM (that is serial) and | ||
11 | USB Mass Storage functions. | ||
12 | |||
13 | A CDC ECM (Ethernet) function may be turned on via a Kconfig option | ||
14 | and RNDIS can be turned off. If they are both enabled the gadget will | ||
15 | have two configurations -- one with RNDIS and another with CDC ECM[3]. | ||
16 | |||
17 | Please not that if you use non-standard configuration (that is enable | ||
18 | CDC ECM) you may need to change vendor and/or product ID. | ||
19 | |||
20 | * Host drivers | ||
21 | |||
22 | To make use of the gadget one needs to make it work on host side -- | ||
23 | without that there's no hope of achieving anything with the gadget. | ||
24 | As one might expect, things one need to do very from system to system. | ||
25 | |||
26 | ** Linux host drivers | ||
27 | |||
28 | Since the gadget uses standard composite framework and appears as such | ||
29 | to Linux host it does not need any additional drivers on Linux host | ||
30 | side. All the functions are handled by respective drivers developed | ||
31 | for them. | ||
32 | |||
33 | This is also true for two configuration set-up with RNDIS | ||
34 | configuration being the first one. Linux host will use the second | ||
35 | configuration with CDC ECM which should work better under Linux. | ||
36 | |||
37 | ** Windows host drivers | ||
38 | |||
39 | For the gadget two work under Windows two conditions have to be met: | ||
40 | |||
41 | *** Detecting as composite gadget | ||
42 | |||
43 | First of all, Windows need to detect the gadget as an USB composite | ||
44 | gadget which on its own have some conditions[4]. If they are met, | ||
45 | Windows lets USB Generic Parent Driver[5] handle the device which then | ||
46 | tries to much drivers for each individual interface (sort of, don't | ||
47 | get into too many details). | ||
48 | |||
49 | The good news is: you do not have to worry about most of the | ||
50 | conditions! | ||
51 | |||
52 | The only thing to worry is that the gadget has to have a single | ||
53 | configuration so a dual RNDIS and CDC ECM gadget won't work unless you | ||
54 | create a proper INF -- and of course, if you do submit it! | ||
55 | |||
56 | *** Installing drivers for each function | ||
57 | |||
58 | The other, trickier thing is making Windows install drivers for each | ||
59 | individual function. | ||
60 | |||
61 | For mass storage it is trivial since Windows detect it's an interface | ||
62 | implementing USB Mass Storage class and selects appropriate driver. | ||
63 | |||
64 | Things are harder with RDNIS and CDC ACM. | ||
65 | |||
66 | **** RNDIS | ||
67 | |||
68 | To make Windows select RNDIS drivers for the first function in the | ||
69 | gadget, one needs to use the [[file:linux.inf]] file provided with this | ||
70 | document. It "attaches" Window's RNDIS driver to the first interface | ||
71 | of the gadget. | ||
72 | |||
73 | Please note, that while testing we encountered some issues[6] when | ||
74 | RNDIS was not the first interface. You do not need to worry abut it | ||
75 | unless you are trying to develop your own gadget in which case watch | ||
76 | out for this bug. | ||
77 | |||
78 | **** CDC ACM | ||
79 | |||
80 | Similarly, [[file:linux-cdc-acm.inf]] is provided for CDC ACM. | ||
81 | |||
82 | **** Customising the gadget | ||
83 | |||
84 | If you intend to hack the g_multi gadget be advised that rearranging | ||
85 | functions will obviously change interface numbers for each of the | ||
86 | functionality. As an effect provided INFs won't work since they have | ||
87 | interface numbers hard-coded in them (it's not hard to change those | ||
88 | though[7]). | ||
89 | |||
90 | This also means, that after experimenting with g_multi and changing | ||
91 | provided functions one should change gadget's vendor and/or product ID | ||
92 | so there will be no collision with other customised gadgets or the | ||
93 | original gadget. | ||
94 | |||
95 | Failing to comply may cause brain damage after wondering for hours why | ||
96 | things don't work as intended before realising Windows have cached | ||
97 | some drivers information (changing USB port may sometimes help plus | ||
98 | you might try using USBDeview[8] to remove the phantom device). | ||
99 | |||
100 | **** INF testing | ||
101 | |||
102 | Provided INF files have been tested on Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista | ||
103 | and Windows 7, all 32-bit versions. It should work on 64-bit versions | ||
104 | as well. It most likely won't work on Windows prior to Windows XP | ||
105 | SP2. | ||
106 | |||
107 | ** Other systems | ||
108 | |||
109 | At this moment, drivers for any other systems have not been tested. | ||
110 | Knowing how MacOS is based on BSD and BSD is an Open Source it is | ||
111 | believed that it should (read: "I have no idea whether it will") work | ||
112 | out-of-the-box. | ||
113 | |||
114 | For more exotic systems I have even less to say... | ||
115 | |||
116 | Any testing and drivers *are* *welcome*! | ||
117 | |||
118 | * Authors | ||
119 | |||
120 | This document has been written by Michal Nazarewicz | ||
121 | ([[mailto:mina86@mina86.com]]). INF files have been hacked with | ||
122 | support of Marek Szyprowski ([[mailto:m.szyprowski@samsung.com]]) and | ||
123 | Xiaofan Chen ([[mailto:xiaofanc@gmail.com]]) basing on the MS RNDIS | ||
124 | template[9], Microchip's CDC ACM INF file and David Brownell's | ||
125 | ([[mailto:dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net]]) original INF files. | ||

206 | The "usbser.sys" file comes with various versions of Windows. | ||
207 | For example, it can be found on Windows XP typically in | ||
208 | |||
209 | C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\driver.cab | ||
210 | |||
211 | Or it can be found on the Windows 98SE CD in the "win98" folder | ||
212 | in the "DRIVER11.CAB" through "DRIVER20.CAB" cab files. You will | ||
213 | need the DOS "expand" program, the Cygwin "cabextract" program, or | ||
214 | a similar program to unpack these cab files and extract "usbser.sys". | ||
215 | |||
216 | For example, to extract "usbser.sys" into the current directory | ||
217 | on Windows XP, open a DOS window and run a command like | ||
218 | |||
219 | expand C:\WINDOWS\Driver~1\i386\driver.cab -F:usbser.sys . | ||
220 | |||
221 | (Thanks to Nishant Kamat for pointing out this DOS command.) | ||

452 | |||
453 | Alternatively, if the critical section might call some of the | ||
454 | usb_autopm_* routines, the driver can avoid deadlock by doing: | ||
455 | |||
456 | down(&udev->dev.sem); | ||

465 | Holding the device semaphore will block all external PM calls, and the | ||
466 | usb_autopm_get_interface() will prevent any internal PM calls, even if | ||
467 | it fails. (Exercise: Why?) | ||
468 | |||
469 | The rules for locking order are: | ||
470 | |||
471 | Never acquire any device semaphore while holding any PM mutex. | ||
472 | |||
473 | Never acquire udev->pm_mutex while holding the PM mutex for | ||
474 | a device that isn't a descendant of udev. | ||
475 | |||
476 | In other words, PM mutexes should only be acquired going up the device | ||
477 | tree, and they should be acquired only after locking all the device | ||
478 | semaphores you need to hold. These rules don't matter to drivers very | ||
479 | much; they usually affect just the USB core. | ||
480 | |||
481 | Still, drivers do need to be careful. For example, many drivers use a | ||

29 | |||
30 | -Mplayer test the video. | ||
31 | |||
32 | -Mplayer test the FM. The mplayer should be compiled with --enable-radio and | ||
33 | --enable-radio-capture. | ||
34 | The command runs as this(The alsa audio registers to card 1): | ||
35 | #mplayer radio://103.7/capture/ -radio adevice=hw=1,0:arate=48000 \ | ||

1 | Introduction | ||
2 | ============ | ||
3 | |||
4 | The V4L2 control API seems simple enough, but quickly becomes very hard to | ||
5 | implement correctly in drivers. But much of the code needed to handle controls | ||
6 | is actually not driver specific and can be moved to the V4L core framework. | ||
7 | |||
8 | After all, the only part that a driver developer is interested in is: | ||
9 | |||
10 | 1) How do I add a control? | ||
11 | 2) How do I set the control's value? (i.e. s_ctrl) | ||
12 | |||
13 | And occasionally: | ||
14 | |||
15 | 3) How do I get the control's value? (i.e. g_volatile_ctrl) | ||
16 | 4) How do I validate the user's proposed control value? (i.e. try_ctrl) | ||
17 | |||
18 | All the rest is something that can be done centrally. | ||
19 | |||
20 | The control framework was created in order to implement all the rules of the | ||
21 | V4L2 specification with respect to controls in a central place. And to make | ||
22 | life as easy as possible for the driver developer. | ||
23 | |||
24 | Note that the control framework relies on the presence of a struct v4l2_device | ||
25 | for V4L2 drivers and struct v4l2_subdev for sub-device drivers. | ||
26 | |||
27 | |||
28 | Objects in the framework | ||
29 | ======================== | ||
30 | |||
31 | There are two main objects: | ||
32 | |||
33 | The v4l2_ctrl object describes the control properties and keeps track of the | ||
34 | control's value (both the current value and the proposed new value). | ||
35 | |||
36 | v4l2_ctrl_handler is the object that keeps track of controls. It maintains a | ||
37 | list of v4l2_ctrl objects that it owns and another list of references to | ||
38 | controls, possibly to controls owned by other handlers. | ||
39 | |||
40 | |||
41 | Basic usage for V4L2 and sub-device drivers | ||
42 | =========================================== | ||
43 | |||
44 | 1) Prepare the driver: | ||
45 | |||
46 | 1.1) Add the handler to your driver's top-level struct: | ||
47 | |||
48 | struct foo_dev { | ||
49 | ... | ||
50 | struct v4l2_ctrl_handler ctrl_handler; | ||
51 | ... | ||
52 | }; | ||
53 | |||
54 | struct foo_dev *foo; | ||
55 | |||
56 | 1.2) Initialize the handler: | ||
57 | |||
58 | v4l2_ctrl_handler_init(&foo->ctrl_handler, nr_of_controls); | ||
59 | |||
60 | The second argument is a hint telling the function how many controls this | ||
61 | handler is expected to handle. It will allocate a hashtable based on this | ||
62 | information. It is a hint only. | ||
63 | |||
64 | 1.3) Hook the control handler into the driver: | ||
65 | |||
66 | 1.3.1) For V4L2 drivers do this: | ||
67 | |||
68 | struct foo_dev { | ||
69 | ... | ||
70 | struct v4l2_device v4l2_dev; | ||
71 | ... | ||
72 | struct v4l2_ctrl_handler ctrl_handler; | ||
73 | ... | ||
74 | }; | ||
75 | |||
76 | foo->v4l2_dev.ctrl_handler = &foo->ctrl_handler; | ||
77 | |||
78 | Where foo->v4l2_dev is of type struct v4l2_device. | ||
79 | |||
80 | Finally, remove all control functions from your v4l2_ioctl_ops: | ||
81 | vidioc_queryctrl, vidioc_querymenu, vidioc_g_ctrl, vidioc_s_ctrl, | ||
82 | vidioc_g_ext_ctrls, vidioc_try_ext_ctrls and vidioc_s_ext_ctrls. | ||
83 | Those are now no longer needed. | ||
84 | |||
85 | 1.3.2) For sub-device drivers do this: | ||
86 | |||
87 | struct foo_dev { | ||
88 | ... | ||
89 | struct v4l2_subdev sd; | ||
90 | ... | ||
91 | struct v4l2_ctrl_handler ctrl_handler; | ||
92 | ... | ||
93 | }; | ||
94 | |||
95 | foo->sd.ctrl_handler = &foo->ctrl_handler; | ||
96 | |||
97 | Where foo->sd is of type struct v4l2_subdev. | ||
98 | |||
99 | And set all core control ops in your struct v4l2_subdev_core_ops to these | ||
100 | helpers: | ||
101 | |||
102 | .queryctrl = v4l2_subdev_queryctrl, | ||
103 | .querymenu = v4l2_subdev_querymenu, | ||
104 | .g_ctrl = v4l2_subdev_g_ctrl, | ||
105 | .s_ctrl = v4l2_subdev_s_ctrl, | ||
106 | .g_ext_ctrls = v4l2_subdev_g_ext_ctrls, | ||
107 | .try_ext_ctrls = v4l2_subdev_try_ext_ctrls, | ||
108 | .s_ext_ctrls = v4l2_subdev_s_ext_ctrls, | ||
109 | |||
110 | Note: this is a temporary solution only. Once all V4L2 drivers that depend | ||
111 | on subdev drivers are converted to the control framework these helpers will | ||
112 | no longer be needed. | ||
113 | |||
114 | 1.4) Clean up the handler at the end: | ||
115 | |||
116 | v4l2_ctrl_handler_free(&foo->ctrl_handler); | ||
117 | |||
118 | |||
119 | 2) Add controls: | ||
120 | |||
121 | You add non-menu controls by calling v4l2_ctrl_new_std: | ||
122 | |||
123 | struct v4l2_ctrl *v4l2_ctrl_new_std(struct v4l2_ctrl_handler *hdl, | ||
124 | const struct v4l2_ctrl_ops *ops, | ||
125 | u32 id, s32 min, s32 max, u32 step, s32 def); | ||
126 | |||
127 | Menu controls are added by calling v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu: | ||
128 | |||
129 | struct v4l2_ctrl *v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu(struct v4l2_ctrl_handler *hdl, | ||
130 | const struct v4l2_ctrl_ops *ops, | ||
131 | u32 id, s32 max, s32 skip_mask, s32 def); | ||
132 | |||
133 | These functions are typically called right after the v4l2_ctrl_handler_init: | ||
134 | |||
135 | v4l2_ctrl_handler_init(&foo->ctrl_handler, nr_of_controls); | ||
136 | v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&foo->ctrl_handler, &foo_ctrl_ops, | ||
137 | V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS, 0, 255, 1, 128); | ||
138 | v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&foo->ctrl_handler, &foo_ctrl_ops, | ||
139 | V4L2_CID_CONTRAST, 0, 255, 1, 128); | ||
140 | v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu(&foo->ctrl_handler, &foo_ctrl_ops, | ||
141 | V4L2_CID_POWER_LINE_FREQUENCY, | ||
142 | V4L2_CID_POWER_LINE_FREQUENCY_60HZ, 0, | ||
143 | V4L2_CID_POWER_LINE_FREQUENCY_DISABLED); | ||
144 | ... | ||
145 | if (foo->ctrl_handler.error) { | ||
146 | int err = foo->ctrl_handler.error; | ||
147 | |||
148 | v4l2_ctrl_handler_free(&foo->ctrl_handler); | ||
149 | return err; | ||
150 | } | ||
151 | |||
152 | The v4l2_ctrl_new_std function returns the v4l2_ctrl pointer to the new | ||
153 | control, but if you do not need to access the pointer outside the control ops, | ||
154 | then there is no need to store it. | ||
155 | |||
156 | The v4l2_ctrl_new_std function will fill in most fields based on the control | ||
157 | ID except for the min, max, step and default values. These are passed in the | ||
158 | last four arguments. These values are driver specific while control attributes | ||
159 | like type, name, flags are all global. The control's current value will be set | ||
160 | to the default value. | ||
161 | |||
162 | The v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu function is very similar but it is used for menu | ||
163 | controls. There is no min argument since that is always 0 for menu controls, | ||
164 | and instead of a step there is a skip_mask argument: if bit X is 1, then menu | ||
165 | item X is skipped. | ||
166 | |||
167 | Note that if something fails, the function will return NULL or an error and | ||
168 | set ctrl_handler->error to the error code. If ctrl_handler->error was already | ||
169 | set, then it will just return and do nothing. This is also true for | ||
170 | v4l2_ctrl_handler_init if it cannot allocate the internal data structure. | ||
171 | |||
172 | This makes it easy to init the handler and just add all controls and only check | ||
173 | the error code at the end. Saves a lot of repetitive error checking. | ||
174 | |||
175 | It is recommended to add controls in ascending control ID order: it will be | ||
176 | a bit faster that way. | ||
177 | |||
178 | 3) Optionally force initial control setup: | ||
179 | |||
180 | v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup(&foo->ctrl_handler); | ||
181 | |||
182 | This will call s_ctrl for all controls unconditionally. Effectively this | ||
183 | initializes the hardware to the default control values. It is recommended | ||
184 | that you do this as this ensures that both the internal data structures and | ||
185 | the hardware are in sync. | ||
186 | |||
187 | 4) Finally: implement the v4l2_ctrl_ops | ||
188 | |||
189 | static const struct v4l2_ctrl_ops foo_ctrl_ops = { | ||
190 | .s_ctrl = foo_s_ctrl, | ||
191 | }; | ||
192 | |||
193 | Usually all you need is s_ctrl: | ||
194 | |||
195 | static int foo_s_ctrl(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl) | ||
196 | { | ||
197 | struct foo *state = container_of(ctrl->handler, struct foo, ctrl_handler); | ||
198 | |||
199 | switch (ctrl->id) { | ||
200 | case V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS: | ||
201 | write_reg(0x123, ctrl->val); | ||
202 | break; | ||
203 | case V4L2_CID_CONTRAST: | ||
204 | write_reg(0x456, ctrl->val); | ||
205 | break; | ||
206 | } | ||
207 | return 0; | ||
208 | } | ||
209 | |||
210 | The control ops are called with the v4l2_ctrl pointer as argument. | ||
211 | The new control value has already been validated, so all you need to do is | ||
212 | to actually update the hardware registers. | ||
213 | |||
214 | You're done! And this is sufficient for most of the drivers we have. No need | ||
215 | to do any validation of control values, or implement QUERYCTRL/QUERYMENU. And | ||
216 | G/S_CTRL as well as G/TRY/S_EXT_CTRLS are automatically supported. | ||
217 | |||

220 | |||
221 | The remainder of this document deals with more advanced topics and scenarios. | ||
222 | In practice the basic usage as described above is sufficient for most drivers. | ||

230 | When a sub-device is registered with a V4L2 driver by calling | ||
231 | v4l2_device_register_subdev() and the ctrl_handler fields of both v4l2_subdev | ||
232 | and v4l2_device are set, then the controls of the subdev will become | ||
233 | automatically available in the V4L2 driver as well. If the subdev driver | ||
234 | contains controls that already exist in the V4L2 driver, then those will be | ||
235 | skipped (so a V4L2 driver can always override a subdev control). | ||
236 | |||
237 | What happens here is that v4l2_device_register_subdev() calls | ||
238 | v4l2_ctrl_add_handler() adding the controls of the subdev to the controls | ||
239 | of v4l2_device. | ||
240 | |||
241 | |||
242 | Accessing Control Values | ||
243 | ======================== | ||
244 | |||
245 | The v4l2_ctrl struct contains these two unions: | ||
246 | |||
247 | /* The current control value. */ | ||
248 | union { | ||
249 | s32 val; | ||
250 | s64 val64; | ||
251 | char *string; | ||
252 | } cur; | ||
253 | |||
254 | /* The new control value. */ | ||
255 | union { | ||
256 | s32 val; | ||
257 | s64 val64; | ||
258 | char *string; | ||
259 | }; | ||
260 | |||
261 | Within the control ops you can freely use these. The val and val64 speak for | ||
262 | themselves. The string pointers point to character buffers of length | ||
263 | ctrl->maximum + 1, and are always 0-terminated. | ||
264 | |||
265 | In most cases 'cur' contains the current cached control value. When you create | ||
266 | a new control this value is made identical to the default value. After calling | ||
267 | v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup() this value is passed to the hardware. It is generally | ||
268 | a good idea to call this function. | ||
269 | |||
270 | Whenever a new value is set that new value is automatically cached. This means | ||
271 | that most drivers do not need to implement the g_volatile_ctrl() op. The | ||
272 | exception is for controls that return a volatile register such as a signal | ||
273 | strength read-out that changes continuously. In that case you will need to | ||
274 | implement g_volatile_ctrl like this: | ||
275 | |||
276 | static int foo_g_volatile_ctrl(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl) | ||
277 | { | ||
278 | switch (ctrl->id) { | ||
279 | case V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS: | ||
280 | ctrl->cur.val = read_reg(0x123); | ||
281 | break; | ||
282 | } | ||
283 | } | ||
284 | |||
285 | The 'new value' union is not used in g_volatile_ctrl. In general controls | ||
286 | that need to implement g_volatile_ctrl are read-only controls. | ||
287 | |||
288 | To mark a control as volatile you have to set the is_volatile flag: | ||
289 | |||
290 | ctrl = v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&sd->ctrl_handler, ...); | ||
291 | if (ctrl) | ||
292 | ctrl->is_volatile = 1; | ||
293 | |||
294 | For try/s_ctrl the new values (i.e. as passed by the user) are filled in and | ||
295 | you can modify them in try_ctrl or set them in s_ctrl. The 'cur' union | ||
296 | contains the current value, which you can use (but not change!) as well. | ||
297 | |||
298 | If s_ctrl returns 0 (OK), then the control framework will copy the new final | ||
299 | values to the 'cur' union. | ||
300 | |||
301 | While in g_volatile/s/try_ctrl you can access the value of all controls owned | ||
302 | by the same handler since the handler's lock is held. If you need to access | ||
303 | the value of controls owned by other handlers, then you have to be very careful | ||
304 | not to introduce deadlocks. | ||
305 | |||
306 | Outside of the control ops you have to go through to helper functions to get | ||
307 | or set a single control value safely in your driver: | ||
308 | |||
309 | s32 v4l2_ctrl_g_ctrl(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl); | ||
310 | int v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl, s32 val); | ||
311 | |||
312 | These functions go through the control framework just as VIDIOC_G/S_CTRL ioctls | ||
313 | do. Don't use these inside the control ops g_volatile/s/try_ctrl, though, that | ||
314 | will result in a deadlock since these helpers lock the handler as well. | ||
315 | |||
316 | You can also take the handler lock yourself: | ||
317 | |||
318 | mutex_lock(&state->ctrl_handler.lock); | ||
319 | printk(KERN_INFO "String value is '%s'\n", ctrl1->cur.string); | ||
320 | printk(KERN_INFO "Integer value is '%s'\n", ctrl2->cur.val); | ||
321 | mutex_unlock(&state->ctrl_handler.lock); | ||
322 | |||
323 | |||
324 | Menu Controls | ||
325 | ============= | ||
326 | |||
327 | The v4l2_ctrl struct contains this union: | ||
328 | |||
329 | union { | ||
330 | u32 step; | ||
331 | u32 menu_skip_mask; | ||
332 | }; | ||
333 | |||
334 | For menu controls menu_skip_mask is used. What it does is that it allows you | ||
335 | to easily exclude certain menu items. This is used in the VIDIOC_QUERYMENU | ||
336 | implementation where you can return -EINVAL if a certain menu item is not | ||
337 | present. Note that VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL always returns a step value of 1 for | ||
338 | menu controls. | ||
339 | |||
340 | A good example is the MPEG Audio Layer II Bitrate menu control where the | ||
341 | menu is a list of standardized possible bitrates. But in practice hardware | ||
342 | implementations will only support a subset of those. By setting the skip | ||
343 | mask you can tell the framework which menu items should be skipped. Setting | ||
344 | it to 0 means that all menu items are supported. | ||
345 | |||
346 | You set this mask either through the v4l2_ctrl_config struct for a custom | ||
347 | control, or by calling v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu(). | ||
348 | |||
349 | |||
350 | Custom Controls | ||
351 | =============== | ||
352 | |||
353 | Driver specific controls can be created using v4l2_ctrl_new_custom(): | ||
354 | |||
355 | static const struct v4l2_ctrl_config ctrl_filter = { | ||
356 | .ops = &ctrl_custom_ops, | ||
357 | .id = V4L2_CID_MPEG_CX2341X_VIDEO_SPATIAL_FILTER, | ||
358 | .name = "Spatial Filter", | ||
359 | .type = V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_INTEGER, | ||
360 | .flags = V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_SLIDER, | ||
361 | .max = 15, | ||
362 | .step = 1, | ||
363 | }; | ||
364 | |||
365 | ctrl = v4l2_ctrl_new_custom(&foo->ctrl_handler, &ctrl_filter, NULL); | ||
366 | |||
367 | The last argument is the priv pointer which can be set to driver-specific | ||
368 | private data. | ||
369 | |||
370 | The v4l2_ctrl_config struct also has fields to set the is_private and is_volatile | ||
371 | flags. | ||
372 | |||
373 | If the name field is not set, then the framework will assume this is a standard | ||
374 | control and will fill in the name, type and flags fields accordingly. | ||
375 | |||
376 | |||
377 | Active and Grabbed Controls | ||
378 | =========================== | ||
379 | |||
380 | If you get more complex relationships between controls, then you may have to | ||
381 | activate and deactivate controls. For example, if the Chroma AGC control is | ||
382 | on, then the Chroma Gain control is inactive. That is, you may set it, but | ||
383 | the value will not be used by the hardware as long as the automatic gain | ||
384 | control is on. Typically user interfaces can disable such input fields. | ||
385 | |||
386 | You can set the 'active' status using v4l2_ctrl_activate(). By default all | ||
387 | controls are active. Note that the framework does not check for this flag. | ||
388 | It is meant purely for GUIs. The function is typically called from within | ||
389 | s_ctrl. | ||
390 | |||
391 | The other flag is the 'grabbed' flag. A grabbed control means that you cannot | ||
392 | change it because it is in use by some resource. Typical examples are MPEG | ||
393 | bitrate controls that cannot be changed while capturing is in progress. | ||
394 | |||
395 | If a control is set to 'grabbed' using v4l2_ctrl_grab(), then the framework | ||
396 | will return -EBUSY if an attempt is made to set this control. The | ||
397 | v4l2_ctrl_grab() function is typically called from the driver when it | ||
398 | starts or stops streaming. | ||
399 | |||
400 | |||
401 | Control Clusters | ||
402 | ================ | ||
403 | |||
404 | By default all controls are independent from the others. But in more | ||
405 | complex scenarios you can get dependencies from one control to another. | ||
406 | In that case you need to 'cluster' them: | ||
407 | |||
408 | struct foo { | ||
409 | struct v4l2_ctrl_handler ctrl_handler; | ||
410 | #define AUDIO_CL_VOLUME (0) | ||
411 | #define AUDIO_CL_MUTE (1) | ||
412 | struct v4l2_ctrl *audio_cluster[2]; | ||
413 | ... | ||
414 | }; | ||
415 | |||
416 | state->audio_cluster[AUDIO_CL_VOLUME] = | ||
417 | v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&state->ctrl_handler, ...); | ||
418 | state->audio_cluster[AUDIO_CL_MUTE] = | ||
419 | v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&state->ctrl_handler, ...); | ||
420 | v4l2_ctrl_cluster(ARRAY_SIZE(state->audio_cluster), state->audio_cluster); | ||
421 | |||
422 | From now on whenever one or more of the controls belonging to the same | ||
423 | cluster is set (or 'gotten', or 'tried'), only the control ops of the first | ||
424 | control ('volume' in this example) is called. You effectively create a new | ||
425 | composite control. Similar to how a 'struct' works in C. | ||
426 | |||
427 | So when s_ctrl is called with V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME as argument, you should set | ||
428 | all two controls belonging to the audio_cluster: | ||
429 | |||
430 | static int foo_s_ctrl(struct v4l2_ctrl *ctrl) | ||
431 | { | ||
432 | struct foo *state = container_of(ctrl->handler, struct foo, ctrl_handler); | ||
433 | |||
434 | switch (ctrl->id) { | ||
435 | case V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME: { | ||
436 | struct v4l2_ctrl *mute = ctrl->cluster[AUDIO_CL_MUTE]; | ||
437 | |||
438 | write_reg(0x123, mute->val ? 0 : ctrl->val); | ||
439 | break; | ||
440 | } | ||
441 | case V4L2_CID_CONTRAST: | ||
442 | write_reg(0x456, ctrl->val); | ||
443 | break; | ||
444 | } | ||
445 | return 0; | ||
446 | } | ||
447 | |||
448 | In the example above the following are equivalent for the VOLUME case: | ||
449 | |||
450 | ctrl == ctrl->cluster[AUDIO_CL_VOLUME] == state->audio_cluster[AUDIO_CL_VOLUME] | ||
451 | ctrl->cluster[AUDIO_CL_MUTE] == state->audio_cluster[AUDIO_CL_MUTE] | ||
452 | |||
453 | Note that controls in a cluster may be NULL. For example, if for some | ||
454 | reason mute was never added (because the hardware doesn't support that | ||
455 | particular feature), then mute will be NULL. So in that case we have a | ||
456 | cluster of 2 controls, of which only 1 is actually instantiated. The | ||
457 | only restriction is that the first control of the cluster must always be | ||
458 | present, since that is the 'master' control of the cluster. The master | ||
459 | control is the one that identifies the cluster and that provides the | ||
460 | pointer to the v4l2_ctrl_ops struct that is used for that cluster. | ||
461 | |||
462 | Obviously, all controls in the cluster array must be initialized to either | ||
463 | a valid control or to NULL. | ||
464 | |||
465 | |||
466 | VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS Support | ||
467 | ========================= | ||
468 | |||
469 | This ioctl allow you to dump the current status of a driver to the kernel log. | ||
470 | The v4l2_ctrl_handler_log_status(ctrl_handler, prefix) can be used to dump the | ||
471 | value of the controls owned by the given handler to the log. You can supply a | ||
472 | prefix as well. If the prefix didn't end with a space, then ': ' will be added | ||
473 | for you. | ||
474 | |||
475 | |||
476 | Different Handlers for Different Video Nodes | ||
477 | ============================================ | ||
478 | |||
479 | Usually the V4L2 driver has just one control handler that is global for | ||
480 | all video nodes. But you can also specify different control handlers for | ||
481 | different video nodes. You can do that by manually setting the ctrl_handler | ||
482 | field of struct video_device. | ||
483 | |||
484 | That is no problem if there are no subdevs involved but if there are, then | ||
485 | you need to block the automatic merging of subdev controls to the global | ||
486 | control handler. You do that by simply setting the ctrl_handler field in | ||
487 | struct v4l2_device to NULL. Now v4l2_device_register_subdev() will no longer | ||
488 | merge subdev controls. | ||
489 | |||
490 | After each subdev was added, you will then have to call v4l2_ctrl_add_handler | ||
491 | manually to add the subdev's control handler (sd->ctrl_handler) to the desired | ||
492 | control handler. This control handler may be specific to the video_device or | ||
493 | for a subset of video_device's. For example: the radio device nodes only have | ||
494 | audio controls, while the video and vbi device nodes share the same control | ||
495 | handler for the audio and video controls. | ||
496 | |||
497 | If you want to have one handler (e.g. for a radio device node) have a subset | ||
498 | of another handler (e.g. for a video device node), then you should first add | ||
499 | the controls to the first handler, add the other controls to the second | ||
500 | handler and finally add the first handler to the second. For example: | ||
501 | |||
502 | v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&radio_ctrl_handler, &radio_ops, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME, ...); | ||
503 | v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&radio_ctrl_handler, &radio_ops, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_MUTE, ...); | ||
504 | v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &video_ops, V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS, ...); | ||
505 | v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &video_ops, V4L2_CID_CONTRAST, ...); | ||
506 | v4l2_ctrl_add_handler(&video_ctrl_handler, &radio_ctrl_handler); | ||
507 | |||
508 | Or you can add specific controls to a handler: | ||
509 | |||
510 | volume = v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &ops, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME, ...); | ||
511 | v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &ops, V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS, ...); | ||
512 | v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &ops, V4L2_CID_CONTRAST, ...); | ||
513 | v4l2_ctrl_add_ctrl(&radio_ctrl_handler, volume); | ||
514 | |||
515 | What you should not do is make two identical controls for two handlers. | ||
516 | For example: | ||
517 | |||
518 | v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&radio_ctrl_handler, &radio_ops, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_MUTE, ...); | ||
519 | v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&video_ctrl_handler, &video_ops, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_MUTE, ...); | ||
520 | |||
521 | This would be bad since muting the radio would not change the video mute | ||
522 | control. The rule is to have one control for each hardware 'knob' that you | ||
523 | can twiddle. | ||
524 | |||
525 | |||
526 | Finding Controls | ||
527 | ================ | ||
528 | |||
529 | Normally you have created the controls yourself and you can store the struct | ||
530 | v4l2_ctrl pointer into your own struct. | ||
531 | |||
532 | But sometimes you need to find a control from another handler that you do | ||
533 | not own. For example, if you have to find a volume control from a subdev. | ||
534 | |||
535 | You can do that by calling v4l2_ctrl_find: | ||
536 | |||
537 | struct v4l2_ctrl *volume; | ||
538 | |||
539 | volume = v4l2_ctrl_find(sd->ctrl_handler, V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME); | ||
540 | |||
541 | Since v4l2_ctrl_find will lock the handler you have to be careful where you | ||
542 | use it. For example, this is not a good idea: | ||
543 | |||
544 | struct v4l2_ctrl_handler ctrl_handler; | ||
545 | |||
546 | v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&ctrl_handler, &video_ops, V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS, ...); | ||
547 | v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&ctrl_handler, &video_ops, V4L2_CID_CONTRAST, ...); | ||
548 | |||
549 | ...and in video_ops.s_ctrl: | ||
550 | |||
551 | case V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS: | ||
552 | contrast = v4l2_find_ctrl(&ctrl_handler, V4L2_CID_CONTRAST); | ||
553 | ... | ||
554 | |||
555 | When s_ctrl is called by the framework the ctrl_handler.lock is already taken, so | ||
556 | attempting to find another control from the same handler will deadlock. | ||
557 | |||
558 | It is recommended not to use this function from inside the control ops. | ||
559 | |||
560 | |||
561 | Inheriting Controls | ||
562 | =================== | ||
563 | |||
564 | When one control handler is added to another using v4l2_ctrl_add_handler, then | ||
565 | by default all controls from one are merged to the other. But a subdev might | ||
566 | have low-level controls that make sense for some advanced embedded system, but | ||
567 | not when it is used in consumer-level hardware. In that case you want to keep | ||
568 | those low-level controls local to the subdev. You can do this by simply | ||
569 | setting the 'is_private' flag of the control to 1: | ||
570 | |||
571 | static const struct v4l2_ctrl_config ctrl_private = { | ||
572 | .ops = &ctrl_custom_ops, | ||
573 | .id = V4L2_CID_..., | ||
574 | .name = "Some Private Control", | ||
575 | .type = V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_INTEGER, | ||
576 | .max = 15, | ||
577 | .step = 1, | ||
578 | .is_private = 1, | ||
579 | }; | ||
580 | |||
581 | ctrl = v4l2_ctrl_new_custom(&foo->ctrl_handler, &ctrl_private, NULL); | ||
582 | |||
583 | These controls will now be skipped when v4l2_ctrl_add_handler is called. | ||
584 | |||
585 | |||
586 | V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_CTRL_CLASS Controls | ||
587 | ================================== | ||
588 | |||
589 | Controls of this type can be used by GUIs to get the name of the control class. | ||
590 | A fully featured GUI can make a dialog with multiple tabs with each tab | ||
591 | containing the controls belonging to a particular control class. The name of | ||
592 | each tab can be found by querying a special control with ID <control class | 1>. | ||
593 | |||
594 | Drivers do not have to care about this. The framework will automatically add | ||
595 | a control of this type whenever the first control belonging to a new control | ||
596 | class is added. | ||
597 | |||
598 | |||
599 | Differences from the Spec | ||
600 | ========================= | ||
601 | |||
602 | There are a few places where the framework acts slightly differently from the | ||
603 | V4L2 Specification. Those differences are described in this section. We will | ||
604 | have to see whether we need to adjust the spec or not. | ||
605 | |||
606 | 1) It is no longer required to have all controls contained in a | ||
607 | v4l2_ext_control array be from the same control class. The framework will be | ||
608 | able to handle any type of control in the array. You need to set ctrl_class | ||
609 | to 0 in order to enable this. If ctrl_class is non-zero, then it will still | ||
610 | check that all controls belong to that control class. | ||
611 | |||
612 | If you set ctrl_class to 0 and count to 0, then it will only return an error | ||
613 | if there are no controls at all. | ||
614 | |||
615 | 2) Clarified the way error_idx works. For get and set it will be equal to | ||
616 | count if nothing was done yet. If it is less than count then only the controls | ||
617 | up to error_idx-1 were successfully applied. | ||
618 | |||
619 | 3) When attempting to read a button control the framework will return -EACCES | ||
620 | instead of -EINVAL as stated in the spec. It seems to make more sense since | ||
621 | button controls are write-only controls. | ||
622 | |||
623 | 4) Attempting to write to a read-only control will return -EACCES instead of | ||
624 | -EINVAL as the spec says. | ||
625 | |||
626 | 5) The spec does not mention what should happen when you try to set/get a | ||
627 | control class controls. ivtv currently returns -EINVAL (indicating that the | ||
628 | control ID does not exist) while the framework will return -EACCES, which | ||
629 | makes more sense. | ||
630 | |||
631 | |||
632 | Proposals for Extensions | ||
633 | ======================== | ||
634 | |||
635 | Some ideas for future extensions to the spec: | ||
636 | |||
637 | 1) Add a V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_HEX to have values shown as hexadecimal instead of | ||
638 | decimal. Useful for e.g. video_mute_yuv. | ||
639 | |||
640 | 2) It is possible to mark in the controls array which controls have been | ||
641 | successfully written and which failed by for example adding a bit to the | ||
642 | control ID. Not sure if it is worth the effort, though. | ||
643 | |||
644 | 3) Trying to set volatile inactive controls should result in -EACCESS. | ||
645 | |||
646 | 4) Add a new flag to mark volatile controls. Any application that wants | ||
647 | to store the state of the controls can then skip volatile inactive controls. | ||
648 | Currently it is not possible to detect such controls. | ||

706 | |||
707 | The video_device->ioctl_ops->vidioc_subscribe_event must check the driver | ||

709 | v4l2_event_subscribe() to subscribe the event. | ||

715 | unsubscription process. | ||
716 | |||
717 | The special type V4L2_EVENT_ALL may be used to unsubscribe all events. The | ||
718 | drivers may want to handle this in a special way. | ||
719 | |||
720 | - v4l2_event_pending() | ||
721 | |||
722 | Returns the number of pending events. Useful when implementing poll. | ||
723 | |||
724 | Drivers do not initialise events directly. The events are initialised | ||
725 | through v4l2_fh_init() if video_device->ioctl_ops->vidioc_subscribe_event is | ||
726 | non-NULL. This *MUST* be performed in the driver's | ||
727 | v4l2_file_operations->open() handler. | ||
728 | |||
729 | Events are delivered to user space through the poll system call. The driver | ||
730 | can use v4l2_fh->events->wait wait_queue_head_t as the argument for | ||
731 | poll_wait(). | ||
732 | |||
733 | There are standard and private events. New standard events must use the | ||
734 | smallest available event type. The drivers must allocate their events from | ||
735 | their own class starting from class base. Class base is | ||
736 | V4L2_EVENT_PRIVATE_START + n * 1000 where n is the lowest available number. | ||
737 | The first event type in the class is reserved for future use, so the first | ||
738 | available event type is 'class base + 1'. | ||
739 | |||

1 | An introduction to the videobuf layer | ||
2 | Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> | ||
3 | Current as of 2.6.33 | ||
4 | |||
5 | The videobuf layer functions as a sort of glue layer between a V4L2 driver | ||
6 | and user space. It handles the allocation and management of buffers for | ||
7 | the storage of video frames. There is a set of functions which can be used | ||
8 | to implement many of the standard POSIX I/O system calls, including read(), | ||
9 | poll(), and, happily, mmap(). Another set of functions can be used to | ||
10 | implement the bulk of the V4L2 ioctl() calls related to streaming I/O, | ||
11 | including buffer allocation, queueing and dequeueing, and streaming | ||
12 | control. Using videobuf imposes a few design decisions on the driver | ||
13 | author, but the payback comes in the form of reduced code in the driver and | ||
14 | a consistent implementation of the V4L2 user-space API. | ||
15 | |||
16 | Buffer types | ||
17 | |||
18 | Not all video devices use the same kind of buffers. In fact, there are (at | ||
19 | least) three common variations: | ||
20 | |||
21 | - Buffers which are scattered in both the physical and (kernel) virtual | ||
22 | address spaces. (Almost) all user-space buffers are like this, but it | ||
23 | makes great sense to allocate kernel-space buffers this way as well when | ||
24 | it is possible. Unfortunately, it is not always possible; working with | ||
25 | this kind of buffer normally requires hardware which can do | ||
26 | scatter/gather DMA operations. | ||
27 | |||
28 | - Buffers which are physically scattered, but which are virtually | ||
29 | contiguous; buffers allocated with vmalloc(), in other words. These | ||
30 | buffers are just as hard to use for DMA operations, but they can be | ||
31 | useful in situations where DMA is not available but virtually-contiguous | ||
32 | buffers are convenient. | ||
33 | |||
34 | - Buffers which are physically contiguous. Allocation of this kind of | ||
35 | buffer can be unreliable on fragmented systems, but simpler DMA | ||
36 | controllers cannot deal with anything else. | ||
37 | |||
38 | Videobuf can work with all three types of buffers, but the driver author | ||
39 | must pick one at the outset and design the driver around that decision. | ||
40 | |||
41 | [It's worth noting that there's a fourth kind of buffer: "overlay" buffers | ||
42 | which are located within the system's video memory. The overlay | ||
43 | functionality is considered to be deprecated for most use, but it still | ||
44 | shows up occasionally in system-on-chip drivers where the performance | ||
45 | benefits merit the use of this technique. Overlay buffers can be handled | ||
46 | as a form of scattered buffer, but there are very few implementations in | ||
47 | the kernel and a description of this technique is currently beyond the | ||
48 | scope of this document.] | ||
49 | |||
50 | Data structures, callbacks, and initialization | ||
51 | |||
52 | Depending on which type of buffers are being used, the driver should | ||
53 | include one of the following files: | ||
54 | |||
55 | <media/videobuf-dma-sg.h> /* Physically scattered */ | ||
56 | <media/videobuf-vmalloc.h> /* vmalloc() buffers */ | ||
57 | <media/videobuf-dma-contig.h> /* Physically contiguous */ | ||
58 | |||
59 | The driver's data structure describing a V4L2 device should include a | ||
60 | struct videobuf_queue instance for the management of the buffer queue, | ||
61 | along with a list_head for the queue of available buffers. There will also | ||
62 | need to be an interrupt-safe spinlock which is used to protect (at least) | ||
63 | the queue. | ||
64 | |||
65 | The next step is to write four simple callbacks to help videobuf deal with | ||
66 | the management of buffers: | ||
67 | |||
68 | struct videobuf_queue_ops { | ||
69 | int (*buf_setup)(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
70 | unsigned int *count, unsigned int *size); | ||
71 | int (*buf_prepare)(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
72 | struct videobuf_buffer *vb, | ||
73 | enum v4l2_field field); | ||
74 | void (*buf_queue)(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
75 | struct videobuf_buffer *vb); | ||
76 | void (*buf_release)(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
77 | struct videobuf_buffer *vb); | ||
78 | }; | ||
79 | |||
80 | buf_setup() is called early in the I/O process, when streaming is being | ||
81 | initiated; its purpose is to tell videobuf about the I/O stream. The count | ||
82 | parameter will be a suggested number of buffers to use; the driver should | ||
83 | check it for rationality and adjust it if need be. As a practical rule, a | ||
84 | minimum of two buffers are needed for proper streaming, and there is | ||
85 | usually a maximum (which cannot exceed 32) which makes sense for each | ||
86 | device. The size parameter should be set to the expected (maximum) size | ||
87 | for each frame of data. | ||
88 | |||
89 | Each buffer (in the form of a struct videobuf_buffer pointer) will be | ||
90 | passed to buf_prepare(), which should set the buffer's size, width, height, | ||
91 | and field fields properly. If the buffer's state field is | ||
92 | VIDEOBUF_NEEDS_INIT, the driver should pass it to: | ||
93 | |||
94 | int videobuf_iolock(struct videobuf_queue* q, struct videobuf_buffer *vb, | ||
95 | struct v4l2_framebuffer *fbuf); | ||
96 | |||
97 | Among other things, this call will usually allocate memory for the buffer. | ||
98 | Finally, the buf_prepare() function should set the buffer's state to | ||
99 | VIDEOBUF_PREPARED. | ||
100 | |||
101 | When a buffer is queued for I/O, it is passed to buf_queue(), which should | ||
102 | put it onto the driver's list of available buffers and set its state to | ||
103 | VIDEOBUF_QUEUED. Note that this function is called with the queue spinlock | ||
104 | held; if it tries to acquire it as well things will come to a screeching | ||
105 | halt. Yes, this is the voice of experience. Note also that videobuf may | ||
106 | wait on the first buffer in the queue; placing other buffers in front of it | ||
107 | could again gum up the works. So use list_add_tail() to enqueue buffers. | ||
108 | |||
109 | Finally, buf_release() is called when a buffer is no longer intended to be | ||
110 | used. The driver should ensure that there is no I/O active on the buffer, | ||
111 | then pass it to the appropriate free routine(s): | ||
112 | |||
113 | /* Scatter/gather drivers */ | ||
114 | int videobuf_dma_unmap(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
115 | struct videobuf_dmabuf *dma); | ||
116 | int videobuf_dma_free(struct videobuf_dmabuf *dma); | ||
117 | |||
118 | /* vmalloc drivers */ | ||
119 | void videobuf_vmalloc_free (struct videobuf_buffer *buf); | ||
120 | |||
121 | /* Contiguous drivers */ | ||
122 | void videobuf_dma_contig_free(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
123 | struct videobuf_buffer *buf); | ||
124 | |||
125 | One way to ensure that a buffer is no longer under I/O is to pass it to: | ||
126 | |||
127 | int videobuf_waiton(struct videobuf_buffer *vb, int non_blocking, int intr); | ||
128 | |||
129 | Here, vb is the buffer, non_blocking indicates whether non-blocking I/O | ||
130 | should be used (it should be zero in the buf_release() case), and intr | ||
131 | controls whether an interruptible wait is used. | ||
132 | |||
133 | File operations | ||
134 | |||
135 | At this point, much of the work is done; much of the rest is slipping | ||
136 | videobuf calls into the implementation of the other driver callbacks. The | ||
137 | first step is in the open() function, which must initialize the | ||
138 | videobuf queue. The function to use depends on the type of buffer used: | ||
139 | |||
140 | void videobuf_queue_sg_init(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
141 | struct videobuf_queue_ops *ops, | ||
142 | struct device *dev, | ||
143 | spinlock_t *irqlock, | ||
144 | enum v4l2_buf_type type, | ||
145 | enum v4l2_field field, | ||
146 | unsigned int msize, | ||
147 | void *priv); | ||
148 | |||
149 | void videobuf_queue_vmalloc_init(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
150 | struct videobuf_queue_ops *ops, | ||
151 | struct device *dev, | ||
152 | spinlock_t *irqlock, | ||
153 | enum v4l2_buf_type type, | ||
154 | enum v4l2_field field, | ||
155 | unsigned int msize, | ||
156 | void *priv); | ||
157 | |||
158 | void videobuf_queue_dma_contig_init(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
159 | struct videobuf_queue_ops *ops, | ||
160 | struct device *dev, | ||
161 | spinlock_t *irqlock, | ||
162 | enum v4l2_buf_type type, | ||
163 | enum v4l2_field field, | ||
164 | unsigned int msize, | ||
165 | void *priv); | ||
166 | |||
167 | In each case, the parameters are the same: q is the queue structure for the | ||
168 | device, ops is the set of callbacks as described above, dev is the device | ||
169 | structure for this video device, irqlock is an interrupt-safe spinlock to | ||
170 | protect access to the data structures, type is the buffer type used by the | ||
171 | device (cameras will use V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE, for example), field | ||
172 | describes which field is being captured (often V4L2_FIELD_NONE for | ||
173 | progressive devices), msize is the size of any containing structure used | ||
174 | around struct videobuf_buffer, and priv is a private data pointer which | ||
175 | shows up in the priv_data field of struct videobuf_queue. Note that these | ||
176 | are void functions which, evidently, are immune to failure. | ||
177 | |||
178 | V4L2 capture drivers can be written to support either of two APIs: the | ||
179 | read() system call and the rather more complicated streaming mechanism. As | ||
180 | a general rule, it is necessary to support both to ensure that all | ||
181 | applications have a chance of working with the device. Videobuf makes it | ||
182 | easy to do that with the same code. To implement read(), the driver need | ||
183 | only make a call to one of: | ||
184 | |||
185 | ssize_t videobuf_read_one(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
186 | char __user *data, size_t count, | ||
187 | loff_t *ppos, int nonblocking); | ||
188 | |||
189 | ssize_t videobuf_read_stream(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
190 | char __user *data, size_t count, | ||
191 | loff_t *ppos, int vbihack, int nonblocking); | ||
192 | |||
193 | Either one of these functions will read frame data into data, returning the | ||
194 | amount actually read; the difference is that videobuf_read_one() will only | ||
195 | read a single frame, while videobuf_read_stream() will read multiple frames | ||
196 | if they are needed to satisfy the count requested by the application. A | ||
197 | typical driver read() implementation will start the capture engine, call | ||
198 | one of the above functions, then stop the engine before returning (though a | ||
199 | smarter implementation might leave the engine running for a little while in | ||
200 | anticipation of another read() call happening in the near future). | ||
201 | |||
202 | The poll() function can usually be implemented with a direct call to: | ||
203 | |||
204 | unsigned int videobuf_poll_stream(struct file *file, | ||
205 | struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
206 | poll_table *wait); | ||
207 | |||
208 | Note that the actual wait queue eventually used will be the one associated | ||
209 | with the first available buffer. | ||
210 | |||
211 | When streaming I/O is done to kernel-space buffers, the driver must support | ||
212 | the mmap() system call to enable user space to access the data. In many | ||
213 | V4L2 drivers, the often-complex mmap() implementation simplifies to a | ||
214 | single call to: | ||
215 | |||
216 | int videobuf_mmap_mapper(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
217 | struct vm_area_struct *vma); | ||
218 | |||
219 | Everything else is handled by the videobuf code. | ||
220 | |||
221 | The release() function requires two separate videobuf calls: | ||
222 | |||
223 | void videobuf_stop(struct videobuf_queue *q); | ||
224 | int videobuf_mmap_free(struct videobuf_queue *q); | ||
225 | |||
226 | The call to videobuf_stop() terminates any I/O in progress - though it is | ||
227 | still up to the driver to stop the capture engine. The call to | ||
228 | videobuf_mmap_free() will ensure that all buffers have been unmapped; if | ||
229 | so, they will all be passed to the buf_release() callback. If buffers | ||
230 | remain mapped, videobuf_mmap_free() returns an error code instead. The | ||
231 | purpose is clearly to cause the closing of the file descriptor to fail if | ||
232 | buffers are still mapped, but every driver in the 2.6.32 kernel cheerfully | ||
233 | ignores its return value. | ||
234 | |||
235 | ioctl() operations | ||
236 | |||
237 | The V4L2 API includes a very long list of driver callbacks to respond to | ||
238 | the many ioctl() commands made available to user space. A number of these | ||
239 | - those associated with streaming I/O - turn almost directly into videobuf | ||
240 | calls. The relevant helper functions are: | ||
241 | |||
242 | int videobuf_reqbufs(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
243 | struct v4l2_requestbuffers *req); | ||
244 | int videobuf_querybuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct v4l2_buffer *b); | ||
245 | int videobuf_qbuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct v4l2_buffer *b); | ||
246 | int videobuf_dqbuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct v4l2_buffer *b, | ||
247 | int nonblocking); | ||
248 | int videobuf_streamon(struct videobuf_queue *q); | ||
249 | int videobuf_streamoff(struct videobuf_queue *q); | ||
250 | int videobuf_cgmbuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct video_mbuf *mbuf, | ||
251 | int count); | ||
252 | |||
253 | So, for example, a VIDIOC_REQBUFS call turns into a call to the driver's | ||
254 | vidioc_reqbufs() callback which, in turn, usually only needs to locate the | ||
255 | proper struct videobuf_queue pointer and pass it to videobuf_reqbufs(). | ||
256 | These support functions can replace a great deal of buffer management | ||
257 | boilerplate in a lot of V4L2 drivers. | ||
258 | |||
259 | The vidioc_streamon() and vidioc_streamoff() functions will be a bit more | ||
260 | complex, of course, since they will also need to deal with starting and | ||
261 | stopping the capture engine. videobuf_cgmbuf(), called from the driver's | ||
262 | vidiocgmbuf() function, only exists if the V4L1 compatibility module has | ||
263 | been selected with CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT, so its use must be surrounded | ||
264 | with #ifdef directives. | ||
265 | |||
266 | Buffer allocation | ||
267 | |||
268 | Thus far, we have talked about buffers, but have not looked at how they are | ||
269 | allocated. The scatter/gather case is the most complex on this front. For | ||
270 | allocation, the driver can leave buffer allocation entirely up to the | ||
271 | videobuf layer; in this case, buffers will be allocated as anonymous | ||
272 | user-space pages and will be very scattered indeed. If the application is | ||
273 | using user-space buffers, no allocation is needed; the videobuf layer will | ||
274 | take care of calling get_user_pages() and filling in the scatterlist array. | ||
275 | |||
276 | If the driver needs to do its own memory allocation, it should be done in | ||
277 | the vidioc_reqbufs() function, *after* calling videobuf_reqbufs(). The | ||
278 | first step is a call to: | ||
279 | |||
280 | struct videobuf_dmabuf *videobuf_to_dma(struct videobuf_buffer *buf); | ||
281 | |||
282 | The returned videobuf_dmabuf structure (defined in | ||
283 | <media/videobuf-dma-sg.h>) includes a couple of relevant fields: | ||
284 | |||
285 | struct scatterlist *sglist; | ||
286 | int sglen; | ||
287 | |||
288 | The driver must allocate an appropriately-sized scatterlist array and | ||
289 | populate it with pointers to the pieces of the allocated buffer; sglen | ||
290 | should be set to the length of the array. | ||
291 | |||
292 | Drivers using the vmalloc() method need not (and cannot) concern themselves | ||
293 | with buffer allocation at all; videobuf will handle those details. The | ||
294 | same is normally true of contiguous-DMA drivers as well; videobuf will | ||
295 | allocate the buffers (with dma_alloc_coherent()) when it sees fit. That | ||
296 | means that these drivers may be trying to do high-order allocations at any | ||
297 | time, an operation which is not always guaranteed to work. Some drivers | ||
298 | play tricks by allocating DMA space at system boot time; videobuf does not | ||
299 | currently play well with those drivers. | ||
300 | |||
301 | As of 2.6.31, contiguous-DMA drivers can work with a user-supplied buffer, | ||
302 | as long as that buffer is physically contiguous. Normal user-space | ||
303 | allocations will not meet that criterion, but buffers obtained from other | ||
304 | kernel drivers, or those contained within huge pages, will work with these | ||
305 | drivers. | ||
306 | |||
307 | Filling the buffers | ||
308 | |||
309 | The final part of a videobuf implementation has no direct callback - it's | ||
310 | the portion of the code which actually puts frame data into the buffers, | ||
311 | usually in response to interrupts from the device. For all types of | ||
312 | drivers, this process works approximately as follows: | ||
313 | |||
314 | - Obtain the next available buffer and make sure that somebody is actually | ||
315 | waiting for it. | ||
316 | |||
317 | - Get a pointer to the memory and put video data there. | ||
318 | |||
319 | - Mark the buffer as done and wake up the process waiting for it. | ||
320 | |||
321 | Step (1) above is done by looking at the driver-managed list_head structure | ||
322 | - the one which is filled in the buf_queue() callback. Because starting | ||
323 | the engine and enqueueing buffers are done in separate steps, it's possible | ||
324 | for the engine to be running without any buffers available - in the | ||
325 | vmalloc() case especially. So the driver should be prepared for the list | ||
326 | to be empty. It is equally possible that nobody is yet interested in the | ||
327 | buffer; the driver should not remove it from the list or fill it until a | ||
328 | process is waiting on it. That test can be done by examining the buffer's | ||
329 | done field (a wait_queue_head_t structure) with waitqueue_active(). | ||
330 | |||
331 | A buffer's state should be set to VIDEOBUF_ACTIVE before being mapped for | ||
332 | DMA; that ensures that the videobuf layer will not try to do anything with | ||
333 | it while the device is transferring data. | ||
334 | |||
335 | For scatter/gather drivers, the needed memory pointers will be found in the | ||
336 | scatterlist structure described above. Drivers using the vmalloc() method | ||
337 | can get a memory pointer with: | ||
338 | |||
339 | void *videobuf_to_vmalloc(struct videobuf_buffer *buf); | ||
340 | |||
341 | For contiguous DMA drivers, the function to use is: | ||
342 | |||
343 | dma_addr_t videobuf_to_dma_contig(struct videobuf_buffer *buf); | ||
344 | |||
345 | The contiguous DMA API goes out of its way to hide the kernel-space address | ||
346 | of the DMA buffer from drivers. | ||
347 | |||
348 | The final step is to set the size field of the relevant videobuf_buffer | ||
349 | structure to the actual size of the captured image, set state to | ||
350 | VIDEOBUF_DONE, then call wake_up() on the done queue. At this point, the | ||
351 | buffer is owned by the videobuf layer and the driver should not touch it | ||
352 | again. | ||
353 | |||
354 | Developers who are interested in more information can go into the relevant | ||
355 | header files; there are a few low-level functions declared there which have | ||
356 | not been talked about here. Also worthwhile is the vivi driver | ||
357 | (drivers/media/video/vivi.c), which is maintained as an example of how V4L2 | ||
358 | drivers should be written. Vivi only uses the vmalloc() API, but it's good | ||
359 | enough to get started with. Note also that all of these calls are exported | ||
360 | GPL-only, so they will not be available to non-GPL kernel modules. | ||

3 | The intent of this file is to have an uptodate, running commentary | 3 | What is NUMA? |
4 | from different people about NUMA specific code in the Linux vm. | 4 | |
5 | 5 | This question can be answered from a couple of perspectives: the | |
6 | What is NUMA? It is an architecture where the memory access times | 6 | hardware view and the Linux software view. |
7 | for different regions of memory from a given processor varies | 7 | |
8 | according to the "distance" of the memory region from the processor. | 8 | From the hardware perspective, a NUMA system is a computer platform that |
9 | Each region of memory to which access times are the same from any | 9 | comprises multiple components or assemblies each of which may contain 0 |
10 | cpu, is called a node. On such architectures, it is beneficial if | 10 | or more CPUs, local memory, and/or IO buses. For brevity and to |
11 | the kernel tries to minimize inter node communications. Schemes | 11 | disambiguate the hardware view of these physical components/assemblies |
12 | for this range from kernel text and read-only data replication | 12 | from the software abstraction thereof, we'll call the components/assemblies |
13 | across nodes, and trying to house all the data structures that | 13 | 'cells' in this document. |
14 | key components of the kernel need on memory on that node. | 14 | |
15 | 15 | Each of the 'cells' may be viewed as an SMP [symmetric multi-processor] subset | |
16 | Currently, all the numa support is to provide efficient handling | 16 | of the system--although some components necessary for a stand-alone SMP system |
17 | of widely discontiguous physical memory, so architectures which | 17 | may not be populated on any given cell. The cells of the NUMA system are |
18 | are not NUMA but can have huge holes in the physical address space | 18 | connected together with some sort of system interconnect--e.g., a crossbar or |
19 | can use the same code. All this code is bracketed by CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM. | 19 | point-to-point link are common types of NUMA system interconnects. Both of |
20 | 20 | these types of interconnects can be aggregated to create NUMA platforms with | |
21 | The initial port includes NUMAizing the bootmem allocator code by | 21 | cells at multiple distances from other cells. |
22 | encapsulating all the pieces of information into a bootmem_data_t | 22 | |
23 | structure. Node specific calls have been added to the allocator. | 23 | For Linux, the NUMA platforms of interest are primarily what is known as Cache |
24 | In theory, any platform which uses the bootmem allocator should | 24 | Coherent NUMA or ccNUMA systems. With ccNUMA systems, all memory is visible |
25 | be able to put the bootmem and mem_map data structures anywhere | 25 | to and accessible from any CPU attached to any cell and cache coherency |
26 | it deems best. | 26 | is handled in hardware by the processor caches and/or the system interconnect. |
27 | 27 | ||
28 | Each node's page allocation data structures have also been encapsulated | 28 | Memory access time and effective memory bandwidth varies depending on how far |
29 | into a pg_data_t. The bootmem_data_t is just one part of this. To | 29 | away the cell containing the CPU or IO bus making the memory access is from the |
30 | make the code look uniform between NUMA and regular UMA platforms, | 30 | cell containing the target memory. For example, access to memory by CPUs |
31 | UMA platforms have a statically allocated pg_data_t too (contig_page_data). | 31 | attached to the same cell will experience faster access times and higher |
32 | For the sake of uniformity, the function num_online_nodes() is also defined | 32 | bandwidths than accesses to memory on other, remote cells. NUMA platforms |
33 | for all platforms. As we run benchmarks, we might decide to NUMAize | 33 | can have cells at multiple remote distances from any given cell. |
34 | more variables like low_on_memory, nr_free_pages etc into the pg_data_t. | 34 | |
35 | 35 | Platform vendors don't build NUMA systems just to make software developers' | |
36 | The NUMA aware page allocation code currently tries to allocate pages | 36 | lives interesting. Rather, this architecture is a means to provide scalable |
37 | from different nodes in a round robin manner. This will be changed to | 37 | memory bandwidth. However, to achieve scalable memory bandwidth, system and |
38 | do concentratic circle search, starting from current node, once the | 38 | application software must arrange for a large majority of the memory references |
39 | NUMA port achieves more maturity. The call alloc_pages_node has been | 39 | [cache misses] to be to "local" memory--memory on the same cell, if any--or |
40 | added, so that drivers can make the call and not worry about whether | 40 | to the closest cell with memory. |
41 | it is running on a NUMA or UMA platform. | 41 | |
42 | This leads to the Linux software view of a NUMA system: | ||
43 | |||
44 | Linux divides the system's hardware resources into multiple software | ||
45 | abstractions called "nodes". Linux maps the nodes onto the physical cells | ||
46 | of the hardware platform, abstracting away some of the details for some | ||
47 | architectures. As with physical cells, software nodes may contain 0 or more | ||
48 | CPUs, memory and/or IO buses. And, again, memory accesses to memory on | ||
49 | "closer" nodes--nodes that map to closer cells--will generally experience | ||
50 | faster access times and higher effective bandwidth than accesses to more | ||
51 | remote cells. | ||
52 | |||
53 | For some architectures, such as x86, Linux will "hide" any node representing a | ||
54 | physical cell that has no memory attached, and reassign any CPUs attached to | ||
55 | that cell to a node representing a cell that does have memory. Thus, on | ||
56 | these architectures, one cannot assume that all CPUs that Linux associates with | ||
57 | a given node will see the same local memory access times and bandwidth. | ||
58 | |||
59 | In addition, for some architectures, again x86 is an example, Linux supports | ||
60 | the emulation of additional nodes. For NUMA emulation, linux will carve up | ||
61 | the existing nodes--or the system memory for non-NUMA platforms--into multiple | ||
62 | nodes. Each emulated node will manage a fraction of the underlying cells' | ||
63 | physical memory. NUMA emluation is useful for testing NUMA kernel and | ||
64 | application features on non-NUMA platforms, and as a sort of memory resource | ||
65 | management mechanism when used together with cpusets. | ||
66 | [see Documentation/cgroups/cpusets.txt] | ||
67 | |||
68 | For each node with memory, Linux constructs an independent memory management | ||
69 | subsystem, complete with its own free page lists, in-use page lists, usage | ||
70 | statistics and locks to mediate access. In addition, Linux constructs for | ||
71 | each memory zone [one or more of DMA, DMA32, NORMAL, HIGH_MEMORY, MOVABLE], | ||
72 | an ordered "zonelist". A zonelist specifies the zones/nodes to visit when a | ||
73 | selected zone/node cannot satisfy the allocation request. This situation, | ||
74 | when a zone has no available memory to satisfy a request, is called | ||
75 | "overflow" or "fallback". | ||
76 | |||
77 | Because some nodes contain multiple zones containing different types of | ||
78 | memory, Linux must decide whether to order the zonelists such that allocations | ||
79 | fall back to the same zone type on a different node, or to a different zone | ||
80 | type on the same node. This is an important consideration because some zones, | ||
81 | such as DMA or DMA32, represent relatively scarce resources. Linux chooses | ||
82 | a default zonelist order based on the sizes of the various zone types relative | ||
83 | to the total memory of the node and the total memory of the system. The | ||
84 | default zonelist order may be overridden using the numa_zonelist_order kernel | ||
85 | boot parameter or sysctl. [see Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt and | ||
86 | Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt] | ||
87 | |||
88 | By default, Linux will attempt to satisfy memory allocation requests from the | ||
89 | node to which the CPU that executes the request is assigned. Specifically, | ||
90 | Linux will attempt to allocate from the first node in the appropriate zonelist | ||
91 | for the node where the request originates. This is called "local allocation." | ||
92 | If the "local" node cannot satisfy the request, the kernel will examine other | ||
93 | nodes' zones in the selected zonelist looking for the first zone in the list | ||
94 | that can satisfy the request. | ||
95 | |||
96 | Local allocation will tend to keep subsequent access to the allocated memory | ||
97 | "local" to the underlying physical resources and off the system interconnect-- | ||
98 | as long as the task on whose behalf the kernel allocated some memory does not | ||
99 | later migrate away from that memory. The Linux scheduler is aware of the | ||
100 | NUMA topology of the platform--embodied in the "scheduling domains" data | ||
101 | structures [see Documentation/scheduler/sched-domains.txt]--and the scheduler | ||
102 | attempts to minimize task migration to distant scheduling domains. However, | ||
103 | the scheduler does not take a task's NUMA footprint into account directly. | ||
104 | Thus, under sufficient imbalance, tasks can migrate between nodes, remote | ||
105 | from their initial node and kernel data structures. | ||
106 | |||
107 | System administrators and application designers can restrict a task's migration | ||
108 | to improve NUMA locality using various CPU affinity command line interfaces, | ||
109 | such as taskset(1) and numactl(1), and program interfaces such as | ||
110 | sched_setaffinity(2). Further, one can modify the kernel's default local | ||
111 | allocation behavior using Linux NUMA memory policy. | ||
112 | [see Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.] | ||
113 | |||
114 | System administrators can restrict the CPUs and nodes' memories that a non- | ||
115 | privileged user can specify in the scheduling or NUMA commands and functions | ||
116 | using control groups and CPUsets. [see Documentation/cgroups/CPUsets.txt] | ||
117 | |||
118 | On architectures that do not hide memoryless nodes, Linux will include only | ||
119 | zones [nodes] with memory in the zonelists. This means that for a memoryless | ||
120 | node the "local memory node"--the node of the first zone in CPU's node's | ||
121 | zonelist--will not be the node itself. Rather, it will be the node that the | ||
122 | kernel selected as the nearest node with memory when it built the zonelists. | ||
123 | So, default, local allocations will succeed with the kernel supplying the | ||
124 | closest available memory. This is a consequence of the same mechanism that | ||
125 | allows such allocations to fallback to other nearby nodes when a node that | ||
126 | does contain memory overflows. | ||
127 | |||
128 | Some kernel allocations do not want or cannot tolerate this allocation fallback | ||
129 | behavior. Rather they want to be sure they get memory from the specified node | ||
130 | or get notified that the node has no free memory. This is usually the case when | ||
131 | a subsystem allocates per CPU memory resources, for example. | ||
132 | |||
133 | A typical model for making such an allocation is to obtain the node id of the | ||
134 | node to which the "current CPU" is attached using one of the kernel's | ||
135 | numa_node_id() or CPU_to_node() functions and then request memory from only | ||
136 | the node id returned. When such an allocation fails, the requesting subsystem | ||
137 | may revert to its own fallback path. The slab kernel memory allocator is an | ||
138 | example of this. Or, the subsystem may choose to disable or not to enable | ||
139 | itself on allocation failure. The kernel profiling subsystem is an example of | ||
140 | this. | ||
141 | |||
142 | If the architecture supports--does not hide--memoryless nodes, then CPUs | ||
143 | attached to memoryless nodes would always incur the fallback path overhead | ||
144 | or some subsystems would fail to initialize if they attempted to allocated | ||
145 | memory exclusively from a node without memory. To support such | ||
146 | architectures transparently, kernel subsystems can use the numa_mem_id() | ||
147 | or cpu_to_mem() function to locate the "local memory node" for the calling or | ||
148 | specified CPU. Again, this is the same node from which default, local page | ||
149 | allocations will be attempted. | ||

1 | Running Linux on the Voyager Architecture | ||
2 | ========================================= | ||
3 | |||
4 | For full details and current project status, see | ||
5 | |||
6 | http://www.hansenpartnership.com/voyager | ||
7 | |||
8 | The voyager architecture was designed by NCR in the mid 80s to be a | ||
9 | fully SMP capable RAS computing architecture built around intel's 486 | ||
10 | chip set. The voyager came in three levels of architectural | ||
11 | sophistication: 3,4 and 5 --- 1 and 2 never made it out of prototype. | ||
12 | The linux patches support only the Level 5 voyager architecture (any | ||
13 | machine class 3435 and above). | ||
14 | |||
15 | The Voyager Architecture | ||
16 | ------------------------ | ||
17 | |||
18 | Voyager machines consist of a Baseboard with a 386 diagnostic | ||
19 | processor, a Power Supply Interface (PSI) a Primary and possibly | ||
20 | Secondary Microchannel bus and between 2 and 20 voyager slots. The | ||
21 | voyager slots can be populated with memory and cpu cards (up to 4GB | ||
22 | memory and from 1 486 to 32 Pentium Pro processors). Internally, the | ||
23 | voyager has a dual arbitrated system bus and a configuration and test | ||
24 | bus (CAT). The voyager bus speed is 40MHz. Therefore (since all | ||
25 | voyager cards are dual ported for each system bus) the maximum | ||
26 | transfer rate is 320Mb/s but only if you have your slot configuration | ||
27 | tuned (only memory cards can communicate with both busses at once, CPU | ||
28 | cards utilise them one at a time). | ||
29 | |||
30 | Voyager SMP | ||
31 | ----------- | ||
32 | |||
33 | Since voyager was the first intel based SMP system, it is slightly | ||
34 | more primitive than the Intel IO-APIC approach to SMP. Voyager allows | ||
35 | arbitrary interrupt routing (including processor affinity routing) of | ||
36 | all 16 PC type interrupts. However it does this by using a modified | ||
37 | 5259 master/slave chip set instead of an APIC bus. Additionally, | ||
38 | voyager supports Cross Processor Interrupts (CPI) equivalent to the | ||
39 | APIC IPIs. There are two routed voyager interrupt lines provided to | ||
40 | each slot. | ||
41 | |||
42 | Processor Cards | ||
43 | --------------- | ||
44 | |||
45 | These come in single, dyadic and quad configurations (the quads are | ||
46 | problematic--see later). The maximum configuration is 8 quad cards | ||
47 | for 32 way SMP. | ||
48 | |||
49 | Quad Processors | ||
50 | --------------- | ||
51 | |||
52 | Because voyager only supplies two interrupt lines to each Processor | ||
53 | card, the Quad processors have to be configured (and Bootstrapped) in | ||
54 | as a pair of Master/Slave processors. | ||
55 | |||
56 | In fact, most Quad cards only accept one VIC interrupt line, so they | ||
57 | have one interrupt handling processor (called the VIC extended | ||
58 | processor) and three non-interrupt handling processors. | ||
59 | |||
60 | Current Status | ||
61 | -------------- | ||
62 | |||
63 | The System will boot on Mono, Dyad and Quad cards. There was | ||
64 | originally a Quad boot problem which has been fixed by proper gdt | ||
65 | alignment in the initial boot loader. If you still cannot get your | ||
66 | voyager system to boot, email me at: | ||
67 | |||
68 | <J.E.J.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> | ||
69 | |||
70 | |||
71 | The Quad cards now support using the separate Quad CPI vectors instead | ||
72 | of going through the VIC mailbox system. | ||
73 | |||
74 | The Level 4 architecture (3430 and 3360 Machines) should also work | ||
75 | fine. | ||
76 | |||
77 | Dump Switch | ||
78 | ----------- | ||
79 | |||
80 | The voyager dump switch sends out a broadcast NMI which the voyager | ||
81 | code intercepts and does a task dump. | ||
82 | |||
83 | Power Switch | ||
84 | ------------ | ||
85 | |||
86 | The front panel power switch is intercepted by the kernel and should | ||
87 | cause a system shutdown and power off. | ||
88 | |||
89 | A Note About Mixed CPU Systems | ||
90 | ------------------------------ | ||
91 | |||
92 | Linux isn't designed to handle mixed CPU systems very well. In order | ||
93 | to get everything going you *must* make sure that your lowest | ||
94 | capability CPU is used for booting. Also, mixing CPU classes | ||
95 | (e.g. 486 and 586) is really not going to work very well at all. | ||

15 | |||
16 | |||
17 | 1. Introduction | ||
18 | |||
19 | There are many cases where an asynchronous process execution context | ||
20 | is needed and the workqueue (wq) API is the most commonly used | ||
21 | mechanism for such cases. | ||
22 | |||
23 | When such an asynchronous execution context is needed, a work item | ||
24 | describing which function to execute is put on a queue. An | ||
25 | independent thread serves as the asynchronous execution context. The | ||
26 | queue is called workqueue and the thread is called worker. | ||
27 | |||
28 | While there are work items on the workqueue the worker executes the | ||
29 | functions associated with the work items one after the other. When | ||
30 | there is no work item left on the workqueue the worker becomes idle. | ||
31 | When a new work item gets queued, the worker begins executing again. | ||
32 | |||
33 | |||
34 | 2. Why cmwq? | ||
35 | |||
36 | In the original wq implementation, a multi threaded (MT) wq had one | ||
37 | worker thread per CPU and a single threaded (ST) wq had one worker | ||
38 | thread system-wide. A single MT wq needed to keep around the same | ||
39 | number of workers as the number of CPUs. The kernel grew a lot of MT | ||
40 | wq users over the years and with the number of CPU cores continuously | ||
41 | rising, some systems saturated the default 32k PID space just booting | ||
42 | up. | ||
43 | |||
44 | Although MT wq wasted a lot of resource, the level of concurrency | ||
45 | provided was unsatisfactory. The limitation was common to both ST and | ||
46 | MT wq albeit less severe on MT. Each wq maintained its own separate | ||
47 | worker pool. A MT wq could provide only one execution context per CPU | ||
48 | while a ST wq one for the whole system. Work items had to compete for | ||
49 | those very limited execution contexts leading to various problems | ||
50 | including proneness to deadlocks around the single execution context. | ||
51 | |||
52 | The tension between the provided level of concurrency and resource | ||
53 | usage also forced its users to make unnecessary tradeoffs like libata | ||
54 | choosing to use ST wq for polling PIOs and accepting an unnecessary | ||
55 | limitation that no two polling PIOs can progress at the same time. As | ||
56 | MT wq don't provide much better concurrency, users which require | ||
57 | higher level of concurrency, like async or fscache, had to implement | ||
58 | their own thread pool. | ||
59 | |||
60 | Concurrency Managed Workqueue (cmwq) is a reimplementation of wq with | ||
61 | focus on the following goals. | ||
62 | |||
63 | * Maintain compatibility with the original workqueue API. | ||
64 | |||
65 | * Use per-CPU unified worker pools shared by all wq to provide | ||
66 | flexible level of concurrency on demand without wasting a lot of | ||
67 | resource. | ||
68 | |||
69 | * Automatically regulate worker pool and level of concurrency so that | ||
70 | the API users don't need to worry about such details. | ||
71 | |||
72 | |||
73 | 3. The Design | ||
74 | |||
75 | In order to ease the asynchronous execution of functions a new | ||
76 | abstraction, the work item, is introduced. | ||
77 | |||
78 | A work item is a simple struct that holds a pointer to the function | ||
79 | that is to be executed asynchronously. Whenever a driver or subsystem | ||
80 | wants a function to be executed asynchronously it has to set up a work | ||
81 | item pointing to that function and queue that work item on a | ||
82 | workqueue. | ||
83 | |||
84 | Special purpose threads, called worker threads, execute the functions | ||
85 | off of the queue, one after the other. If no work is queued, the | ||
86 | worker threads become idle. These worker threads are managed in so | ||
87 | called thread-pools. | ||
88 | |||
89 | The cmwq design differentiates between the user-facing workqueues that | ||
90 | subsystems and drivers queue work items on and the backend mechanism | ||
91 | which manages thread-pool and processes the queued work items. | ||
92 | |||
93 | The backend is called gcwq. There is one gcwq for each possible CPU | ||
94 | and one gcwq to serve work items queued on unbound workqueues. | ||
95 | |||
96 | Subsystems and drivers can create and queue work items through special | ||
97 | workqueue API functions as they see fit. They can influence some | ||
98 | aspects of the way the work items are executed by setting flags on the | ||
99 | workqueue they are putting the work item on. These flags include | ||
100 | things like CPU locality, reentrancy, concurrency limits and more. To | ||
101 | get a detailed overview refer to the API description of | ||
102 | alloc_workqueue() below. | ||
103 | |||
104 | When a work item is queued to a workqueue, the target gcwq is | ||
105 | determined according to the queue parameters and workqueue attributes | ||
106 | and appended on the shared worklist of the gcwq. For example, unless | ||
107 | specifically overridden, a work item of a bound workqueue will be | ||
108 | queued on the worklist of exactly that gcwq that is associated to the | ||
109 | CPU the issuer is running on. | ||
110 | |||
111 | For any worker pool implementation, managing the concurrency level | ||
112 | (how many execution contexts are active) is an important issue. cmwq | ||
113 | tries to keep the concurrency at a minimal but sufficient level. | ||
114 | Minimal to save resources and sufficient in that the system is used at | ||
115 | its full capacity. | ||
116 | |||
117 | Each gcwq bound to an actual CPU implements concurrency management by | ||
118 | hooking into the scheduler. The gcwq is notified whenever an active | ||
119 | worker wakes up or sleeps and keeps track of the number of the | ||
120 | currently runnable workers. Generally, work items are not expected to | ||
121 | hog a CPU and consume many cycles. That means maintaining just enough | ||
122 | concurrency to prevent work processing from stalling should be | ||
123 | optimal. As long as there are one or more runnable workers on the | ||
124 | CPU, the gcwq doesn't start execution of a new work, but, when the | ||
125 | last running worker goes to sleep, it immediately schedules a new | ||
126 | worker so that the CPU doesn't sit idle while there are pending work | ||
127 | items. This allows using a minimal number of workers without losing | ||
128 | execution bandwidth. | ||
129 | |||
130 | Keeping idle workers around doesn't cost other than the memory space | ||
131 | for kthreads, so cmwq holds onto idle ones for a while before killing | ||
132 | them. | ||
133 | |||
134 | For an unbound wq, the above concurrency management doesn't apply and | ||
135 | the gcwq for the pseudo unbound CPU tries to start executing all work | ||
136 | items as soon as possible. The responsibility of regulating | ||
137 | concurrency level is on the users. There is also a flag to mark a | ||
138 | bound wq to ignore the concurrency management. Please refer to the | ||
139 | API section for details. | ||
140 | |||
141 | Forward progress guarantee relies on that workers can be created when | ||
142 | more execution contexts are necessary, which in turn is guaranteed | ||
143 | through the use of rescue workers. All work items which might be used | ||
144 | on code paths that handle memory reclaim are required to be queued on | ||
145 | wq's that have a rescue-worker reserved for execution under memory | ||
146 | pressure. Else it is possible that the thread-pool deadlocks waiting | ||
147 | for execution contexts to free up. | ||
148 | |||
149 | |||
150 | 4. Application Programming Interface (API) | ||
151 | |||
152 | alloc_workqueue() allocates a wq. The original create_*workqueue() | ||
153 | functions are deprecated and scheduled for removal. alloc_workqueue() | ||
154 | takes three arguments - @name, @flags and @max_active. @name is the | ||
155 | name of the wq and also used as the name of the rescuer thread if | ||
156 | there is one. | ||
157 | |||
158 | A wq no longer manages execution resources but serves as a domain for | ||
159 | forward progress guarantee, flush and work item attributes. @flags | ||
160 | and @max_active control how work items are assigned execution | ||
161 | resources, scheduled and executed. | ||
162 | |||
163 | @flags: | ||
164 | |||
165 | WQ_NON_REENTRANT | ||
166 | |||
167 | By default, a wq guarantees non-reentrance only on the same | ||
168 | CPU. A work item may not be executed concurrently on the same | ||
169 | CPU by multiple workers but is allowed to be executed | ||
170 | concurrently on multiple CPUs. This flag makes sure | ||
171 | non-reentrance is enforced across all CPUs. Work items queued | ||
172 | to a non-reentrant wq are guaranteed to be executed by at most | ||
173 | one worker system-wide at any given time. | ||
174 | |||
175 | WQ_UNBOUND | ||
176 | |||
177 | Work items queued to an unbound wq are served by a special | ||
178 | gcwq which hosts workers which are not bound to any specific | ||
179 | CPU. This makes the wq behave as a simple execution context | ||
180 | provider without concurrency management. The unbound gcwq | ||
181 | tries to start execution of work items as soon as possible. | ||
182 | Unbound wq sacrifices locality but is useful for the following | ||
183 | cases. | ||
184 | |||
185 | * Wide fluctuation in the concurrency level requirement is | ||
186 | expected and using bound wq may end up creating large number | ||
187 | of mostly unused workers across different CPUs as the issuer | ||
188 | hops through different CPUs. | ||
189 | |||
190 | * Long running CPU intensive workloads which can be better | ||
191 | managed by the system scheduler. | ||
192 | |||
193 | WQ_FREEZEABLE | ||
194 | |||
195 | A freezeable wq participates in the freeze phase of the system | ||
196 | suspend operations. Work items on the wq are drained and no | ||
197 | new work item starts execution until thawed. | ||
198 | |||
199 | WQ_RESCUER | ||
200 | |||
201 | All wq which might be used in the memory reclaim paths _MUST_ | ||
202 | have this flag set. This reserves one worker exclusively for | ||
203 | the execution of this wq under memory pressure. | ||
204 | |||
205 | WQ_HIGHPRI | ||
206 | |||
207 | Work items of a highpri wq are queued at the head of the | ||
208 | worklist of the target gcwq and start execution regardless of | ||
209 | the current concurrency level. In other words, highpri work | ||
210 | items will always start execution as soon as execution | ||
211 | resource is available. | ||
212 | |||
213 | Ordering among highpri work items is preserved - a highpri | ||
214 | work item queued after another highpri work item will start | ||
215 | execution after the earlier highpri work item starts. | ||
216 | |||
217 | Although highpri work items are not held back by other | ||
218 | runnable work items, they still contribute to the concurrency | ||
219 | level. Highpri work items in runnable state will prevent | ||
220 | non-highpri work items from starting execution. | ||
221 | |||
222 | This flag is meaningless for unbound wq. | ||
223 | |||
224 | WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE | ||
225 | |||
226 | Work items of a CPU intensive wq do not contribute to the | ||
227 | concurrency level. In other words, runnable CPU intensive | ||
228 | work items will not prevent other work items from starting | ||
229 | execution. This is useful for bound work items which are | ||
230 | expected to hog CPU cycles so that their execution is | ||
231 | regulated by the system scheduler. | ||
232 | |||
233 | Although CPU intensive work items don't contribute to the | ||
234 | concurrency level, start of their executions is still | ||
235 | regulated by the concurrency management and runnable | ||
236 | non-CPU-intensive work items can delay execution of CPU | ||
237 | intensive work items. | ||
238 | |||
239 | This flag is meaningless for unbound wq. | ||
240 | |||
241 | WQ_HIGHPRI | WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE | ||
242 | |||
243 | This combination makes the wq avoid interaction with | ||
244 | concurrency management completely and behave as a simple | ||
245 | per-CPU execution context provider. Work items queued on a | ||
246 | highpri CPU-intensive wq start execution as soon as resources | ||
247 | are available and don't affect execution of other work items. | ||
248 | |||
249 | @max_active: | ||
250 | |||
251 | @max_active determines the maximum number of execution contexts per | ||
252 | CPU which can be assigned to the work items of a wq. For example, | ||
253 | with @max_active of 16, at most 16 work items of the wq can be | ||
254 | executing at the same time per CPU. | ||
255 | |||
256 | Currently, for a bound wq, the maximum limit for @max_active is 512 | ||
257 | and the default value used when 0 is specified is 256. For an unbound | ||
258 | wq, the limit is higher of 512 and 4 * num_possible_cpus(). These | ||
259 | values are chosen sufficiently high such that they are not the | ||
260 | limiting factor while providing protection in runaway cases. | ||
261 | |||
262 | The number of active work items of a wq is usually regulated by the | ||
263 | users of the wq, more specifically, by how many work items the users | ||
264 | may queue at the same time. Unless there is a specific need for | ||
265 | throttling the number of active work items, specifying '0' is | ||
266 | recommended. | ||
267 | |||
268 | Some users depend on the strict execution ordering of ST wq. The | ||
269 | combination of @max_active of 1 and WQ_UNBOUND is used to achieve this | ||
270 | behavior. Work items on such wq are always queued to the unbound gcwq | ||
271 | and only one work item can be active at any given time thus achieving | ||
272 | the same ordering property as ST wq. | ||
273 | |||
274 | |||
275 | 5. Example Execution Scenarios | ||
276 | |||
277 | The following example execution scenarios try to illustrate how cmwq | ||
278 | behave under different configurations. | ||
279 | |||
280 | Work items w0, w1, w2 are queued to a bound wq q0 on the same CPU. | ||
281 | w0 burns CPU for 5ms then sleeps for 10ms then burns CPU for 5ms | ||
282 | again before finishing. w1 and w2 burn CPU for 5ms then sleep for | ||
283 | 10ms. | ||
284 | |||
285 | Ignoring all other tasks, works and processing overhead, and assuming | ||
286 | simple FIFO scheduling, the following is one highly simplified version | ||
287 | of possible sequences of events with the original wq. | ||
288 | |||
289 | TIME IN MSECS EVENT | ||
290 | 0 w0 starts and burns CPU | ||
291 | 5 w0 sleeps | ||
292 | 15 w0 wakes up and burns CPU | ||
293 | 20 w0 finishes | ||
294 | 20 w1 starts and burns CPU | ||
295 | 25 w1 sleeps | ||
296 | 35 w1 wakes up and finishes | ||
297 | 35 w2 starts and burns CPU | ||
298 | 40 w2 sleeps | ||
299 | 50 w2 wakes up and finishes | ||
300 | |||
301 | And with cmwq with @max_active >= 3, | ||
302 | |||
303 | TIME IN MSECS EVENT | ||
304 | 0 w0 starts and burns CPU | ||
305 | 5 w0 sleeps | ||
306 | 5 w1 starts and burns CPU | ||
307 | 10 w1 sleeps | ||
308 | 10 w2 starts and burns CPU | ||
309 | 15 w2 sleeps | ||
310 | 15 w0 wakes up and burns CPU | ||
311 | 20 w0 finishes | ||
312 | 20 w1 wakes up and finishes | ||
313 | 25 w2 wakes up and finishes | ||
314 | |||
315 | If @max_active == 2, | ||
316 | |||
317 | TIME IN MSECS EVENT | ||
318 | 0 w0 starts and burns CPU | ||
319 | 5 w0 sleeps | ||
320 | 5 w1 starts and burns CPU | ||
321 | 10 w1 sleeps | ||
322 | 15 w0 wakes up and burns CPU | ||
323 | 20 w0 finishes | ||
324 | 20 w1 wakes up and finishes | ||
325 | 20 w2 starts and burns CPU | ||
326 | 25 w2 sleeps | ||
327 | 35 w2 wakes up and finishes | ||
328 | |||
329 | Now, let's assume w1 and w2 are queued to a different wq q1 which has | ||
330 | WQ_HIGHPRI set, | ||
331 | |||
332 | TIME IN MSECS EVENT | ||
333 | 0 w1 and w2 start and burn CPU | ||
334 | 5 w1 sleeps | ||
335 | 10 w2 sleeps | ||
336 | 10 w0 starts and burns CPU | ||
337 | 15 w0 sleeps | ||
338 | 15 w1 wakes up and finishes | ||
339 | 20 w2 wakes up and finishes | ||
340 | 25 w0 wakes up and burns CPU | ||
341 | 30 w0 finishes | ||
342 | |||
343 | If q1 has WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE set, | ||
344 | |||
345 | TIME IN MSECS EVENT | ||
346 | 0 w0 starts and burns CPU | ||
347 | 5 w0 sleeps | ||
348 | 5 w1 and w2 start and burn CPU | ||
349 | 10 w1 sleeps | ||
350 | 15 w2 sleeps | ||
351 | 15 w0 wakes up and burns CPU | ||
352 | 20 w0 finishes | ||
353 | 20 w1 wakes up and finishes | ||
354 | 25 w2 wakes up and finishes | ||
355 | |||
356 | |||
357 | 6. Guidelines | ||
358 | |||
359 | * Do not forget to use WQ_RESCUER if a wq may process work items which | ||
360 | are used during memory reclaim. Each wq with WQ_RESCUER set has one | ||
361 | rescuer thread reserved for it. If there is dependency among | ||
362 | multiple work items used during memory reclaim, they should be | ||
363 | queued to separate wq each with WQ_RESCUER. | ||
364 | |||
365 | * Unless strict ordering is required, there is no need to use ST wq. | ||
366 | |||
367 | * Unless there is a specific need, using 0 for @max_active is | ||
368 | recommended. In most use cases, concurrency level usually stays | ||
369 | well under the default limit. | ||
370 | |||
371 | * A wq serves as a domain for forward progress guarantee (WQ_RESCUER), | ||
372 | flush and work item attributes. Work items which are not involved | ||
373 | in memory reclaim and don't need to be flushed as a part of a group | ||
374 | of work items, and don't require any special attribute, can use one | ||
375 | of the system wq. There is no difference in execution | ||
376 | characteristics between using a dedicated wq and a system wq. | ||
377 | |||
378 | * Unless work items are expected to consume a huge amount of CPU | ||
379 | cycles, using a bound wq is usually beneficial due to the increased | ||
380 | level of locality in wq operations and work item execution. | ||
