4Description:
5 The /sys/firmware/sgi_uv directory contains information
6 about the SGI UV platform.
7
8 Under that directory are a number of files:
9
10 partition_id
11 coherence_id
12
13 The partition_id entry contains the partition id.
14 SGI UV systems can be partitioned into multiple physical
15 machines, which each partition running a unique copy
16 of the operating system. Each partition will have a unique
17 partition id. To display the partition id, use the command:
18
19 cat /sys/firmware/sgi_uv/partition_id
20
21 The coherence_id entry contains the coherence id.
22 A partitioned SGI UV system can have one or more coherence
23 domain. The coherence id indicates which coherence domain
24 this partition is in. To display the coherence id, use the
25 command:
26
27 cat /sys/firmware/sgi_uv/coherence_id

5Description:
6
7 As a Kconfig option, individual GPIO signals may be accessed from
8 userspace. GPIOs are only made available to userspace by an explicit
9 "export" operation. If a given GPIO is not claimed for use by
10 kernel code, it may be exported by userspace (and unexported later).
11 Kernel code may export it for complete or partial access.
12
13 GPIOs are identified as they are inside the kernel, using integers in
14 the range 0..INT_MAX. See Documentation/gpio.txt for more information.
15
16 /sys/class/gpio
17 /export ... asks the kernel to export a GPIO to userspace
18 /unexport ... to return a GPIO to the kernel
19 /gpioN ... for each exported GPIO #N
20 /value ... always readable, writes fail for input GPIOs
21 /direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write: high, low
22 /gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO
23 /base ... (r/o) same as N
24 /label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique
25 /ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N to N + (ngpio - 1)
