1What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/level
2Date: March 2007
3KernelVersion: 2.6.21
4Contact: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
5Description:
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.

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 &amp; fencing, suspend/resume support, and DMA
73 services.

160 like DRIVER_MODESET can be set later based on user supplied parameters,

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 &amp; 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 &amp; 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 &amp; 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.

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 &amp; 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
363 initialized.
364 </para>
365 <para>
366 Another task that may be necessary during configuration is
367 mapping the video BIOS. On many devices, the VBIOS describes
368 device configuration, LCD panel timings (if any), and contains
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.

383 <title>Memory manager initialization</title>
384 <para>
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
392 need to set that up at load time as well. How you initialize
393 it depends on which memory manager you're using, TTM or GEM.
394 </para>
395 <sect3>
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;
419 size_t size;
420 void *object;
421 int (*init) (struct ttm_global_reference *);
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.
447 </para>
448 </sect3>
449 <sect3>
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.
476 <programlisting>
477 /* Basic memrange allocator for stolen space (aka vram) */
478 drm_memrange_init(&amp;dev_priv->vram, 0, prealloc_size);

481 </programlisting>
482<!--!Edrivers/char/drm/drm_memrange.c-->
483 </para>
484 <para>
485 Once the memory manager has been set up, we can allocate the
486 command buffer. In the i915 case, this is also done with a

498 registering a framebuffer console driver.

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.

582 For each encoder, CRTC and connector, several functions must

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)
591 save/restore routines, detection, mode probing, property handling,

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
640 internal atomic counter incremented on every vertical blank
641 interrupt, and can make their enable and disable vblank
642 functions into no-ops.

648 <para>
649 The memory manager lies at the heart of many DRM operations, and
650 is also required to support advanced client features like OpenGL
651 pbuffers. The DRM currently contains two memory managers, TTM
652 and GEM.

659 Hellström, and is intended to be a flexible, high performance

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 &amp; 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&lt;-&gt;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.

726 <!-- Output management -->
727 <sect1>
728 <title>Output management</title>
729 <para>
730 At the core of the DRM output management code is a set of
731 structures representing CRTCs, encoders and connectors.
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.
742 </para>
743 <para>
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
748 the same scanout buffer, resulting in a "cloned" display
749 configuration across the connectors attached to each encoder.
750 </para>
751 <para>
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 &amp;
758 connection status, and information about modes supported on the
759 attached displays.

764 <sect1>
765 <title>Framebuffer management</title>
766 <para>
767 In order to set a mode on a given CRTC, encoder and connector
768 configuration, clients need to provide a framebuffer object which
769 will provide a source of pixels for the CRTC to deliver to the encoder(s)
770 and ultimately the connector(s) in the configuration. A framebuffer
771 is fundamentally a driver specific memory object, made into an opaque
772 handle by the DRM addfb function. Once an fb has been created this
773 way it can be passed to the KMS mode setting routines for use in
774 a configuration.

791 restore() functions. These will be called at suspend,
792 hibernate, or resume time, and should perform any state save or

261 <para>NOTE: Kgdboc does not support interrupting the target via the
262 gdb remote protocol. You must manually send a sysrq-g unless you
263 have a proxy that splits console output to a terminal program.
264 A console proxy has a separate TCP port for the debugger and a separate
265 TCP port for the "human" console. The proxy can take care of sending
266 the sysrq-g for you.
267 </para>
268 <para>When using kgdboc with no debugger proxy, you can end up
269 connecting the debugger at one of two entry points. If an
270 exception occurs after you have loaded kgdboc, a message should
271 print on the console stating it is waiting for the debugger. In
272 this case you disconnect your terminal program and then connect the
273 debugger in its place. If you want to interrupt the target system
274 and forcibly enter a debug session you have to issue a Sysrq
275 sequence and then type the letter <constant>g</constant>. Then
276 you disconnect the terminal session and connect gdb. Your options
277 if you don't like this are to hack gdb to send the sysrq-g for you
278 as well as on the initial connect, or to use a debugger proxy that
279 allows an unmodified gdb to do the debugging.

28The following problems can result in an RCU CPU stall warning: 30When a CPU detects that it is stalling, it will print a message similar
31to the following:
32
33INFO: rcu_sched_state detected stall on CPU 5 (t=2500 jiffies)
34
35This message indicates that CPU 5 detected that it was causing a stall,
36and that the stall was affecting RCU-sched. This message will normally be
37followed by a stack dump of the offending CPU. On TREE_RCU kernel builds,
38RCU and RCU-sched are implemented by the same underlying mechanism,
39while on TREE_PREEMPT_RCU kernel builds, RCU is instead implemented
40by rcu_preempt_state.
41
42On the other hand, if the offending CPU fails to print out a stall-warning
43message quickly enough, some other CPU will print a message similar to
44the following:
45
46INFO: rcu_bh_state detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 3 5 } (detected by 2, 2502 jiffies)
47
48This message indicates that CPU 2 detected that CPUs 3 and 5 were both
49causing stalls, and that the stall was affecting RCU-bh. This message
50will normally be followed by stack dumps for each CPU. Please note that
51TREE_PREEMPT_RCU builds can be stalled by tasks as well as by CPUs,
52and that the tasks will be indicated by PID, for example, "P3421".
53It is even possible for a rcu_preempt_state stall to be caused by both
54CPUs -and- tasks, in which case the offending CPUs and tasks will all
55be called out in the list.
56
57Finally, if the grace period ends just as the stall warning starts
58printing, there will be a spurious stall-warning message:
59
60INFO: rcu_bh_state detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: { } (detected by 4, 2502 jiffies)
61
62This is rare, but does happen from time to time in real life.

41GPIOLIB conversion
42------------------
43
44If you need to convert your board or driver to use gpiolib from the exiting
45s3c2410 api, then here are some notes on the process.
46
471) 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
542) 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
583) 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
684) 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
725) 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
776) s3c2410_gpio_getirq() should be directly replacable with the
78 gpio_to_irq() call.
79
80The s3c2410_gpio and gpio_ calls have always operated on the same gpio
81numberspace, so there is no problem with converting the gpio numbering
82between the calls.

22The gpio implementation uses gpiolib as much as possible, only providing
23specific calls for the items that require Samsung specific handling, such
24as pin special-function or pull resistor control.
25
26GPIO numbering is synchronised between the Samsung and gpiolib system.

29PIN configuration
30-----------------
31
32Pin configuration is specific to the Samsung architecutre, with each SoC
33registering the necessary information for the core gpio configuration
34implementation to configure pins as necessary.
35
36The s3c_gpio_cfgpin() and s3c_gpio_setpull() provide the means for a
37driver or machine to change gpio configuration.

61 due to differences in the hardware.

64Layout 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.
60 71
61 plat-s5p is for s5p specific builds, more to be added. 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.

200---------------
201
202The xattr table contains extended attributes for each inode. The xattrs
203for each inode are stored in a list, each list entry containing a type,
204name and value field. The type field encodes the xattr prefix
205("user.", "trusted." etc) and it also encodes how the name/value fields
206should be interpreted. Currently the type indicates whether the value
207is stored inline (in which case the value field contains the xattr value),
208or if it is stored out of line (in which case the value field stores a
209reference to where the actual value is stored). This allows large values
210to be stored out of line improving scanning and lookup performance and it
211also allows values to be de-duplicated, the value being stored once, and
212all other occurences holding an out of line reference to that value.
213
214The xattr lists are packed into compressed 8K metadata blocks.
215To reduce overhead in inodes, rather than storing the on-disk
216location of the xattr list inside each inode, a 32-bit xattr id
217is stored. This xattr id is mapped into the location of the xattr
218list using a second xattr id lookup table.

1Sysfs tagging
2-------------
3
4(Taken almost verbatim from Eric Biederman's netns tagging patch
5commit msg)
6
7The problem. Network devices show up in sysfs and with the network
8namespace active multiple devices with the same name can show up in
9the same directory, ouch!
10
11To avoid that problem and allow existing applications in network
12namespaces to see the same interface that is currently presented in
13sysfs, sysfs now has tagging directory support.
14
15By using the network namespace pointers as tags to separate out the
16the sysfs directory entries we ensure that we don't have conflicts
17in the directories and applications only see a limited set of
18the network devices.
19
20Each sysfs directory entry may be tagged with zero or one
21namespaces. A sysfs_dirent is augmented with a void *s_ns. If a
22directory entry is tagged, then sysfs_dirent->s_flags will have a
23flag between KOBJ_NS_TYPE_NONE and KOBJ_NS_TYPES, and s_ns will
24point to the namespace to which it belongs.
25
26Each sysfs superblock's sysfs_super_info contains an array void
27*ns[KOBJ_NS_TYPES]. When a a task in a tagging namespace
28kobj_nstype first mounts sysfs, a new superblock is created. It
29will be differentiated from other sysfs mounts by having its
30s_fs_info->ns[kobj_nstype] set to the new namespace. Note that
31through bind mounting and mounts propagation, a task can easily view
32the contents of other namespaces' sysfs mounts. Therefore, when a
33namespace exits, it will call kobj_ns_exit() to invalidate any
34sysfs_dirent->s_ns pointers pointing to it.
35
36Users 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

13Description
14-----------
15
16The Texas Instruments TMP102 implements one temperature sensor. Limits can be
17set through the Overtemperature Shutdown register and Hysteresis register. The
18sensor is accurate to 0.5 degree over the range of -25 to +85 C, and to 1.0
19degree from -40 to +125 C. Resolution of the sensor is 0.0625 degree. The
20operating temperature has a minimum of -55 C and a maximum of +150 C.
21
22The TMP102 has a programmable update rate that can select between 8, 4, 1, and
230.5 Hz. (Currently the driver only supports the default of 4 Hz).
24
25The driver provides the common sysfs-interface for temperatures (see
26Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface under Temperatures).

771This ioctl allows the user to create or modify a guest physical memory
772slot. When changing an existing slot, it may be moved in the guest
773physical memory space, or its flags may be modified. It may not be
774resized. Slots may not overlap in guest physical address space.
775
776Memory for the region is taken starting at the address denoted by the
777field userspace_addr, which must point at user addressable memory for
778the entire memory slot size. Any object may back this memory, including
779anonymous memory, ordinary files, and hugetlbfs.
780
781It is recommended that the lower 21 bits of guest_phys_addr and userspace_addr
782be identical. This allows large pages in the guest to be backed by large
783pages in the host.
784
785The flags field supports just one flag, KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES, which
786instructs kvm to keep track of writes to memory within the slot. See
787the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl.
788
789When the KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU capability, changes in the backing of the memory
790region are automatically reflected into the guest. For example, an mmap()
791that affects the region will be made visible immediately. Another example
792is madvise(MADV_DROP).
793
794It is recommended to use this API instead of the KVM_SET_MEMORY_REGION ioctl.

810region.

1The x86 kvm shadow mmu
2======================
3
4The mmu (in arch/x86/kvm, files mmu.[ch] and paging_tmpl.h) is responsible
5for presenting a standard x86 mmu to the guest, while translating guest
6physical addresses to host physical addresses.
7
8The 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

45Virtual and real hardware supported
46===================================
47
48The mmu supports first-generation mmu hardware, which allows an atomic switch
49of the current paging mode and cr3 during guest entry, as well as
50two-dimensional paging (AMD's NPT and Intel's EPT). The emulated hardware
51it exposes is the traditional 2/3/4 level x86 mmu, with support for global
52pages, pae, pse, pse36, cr0.wp, and 1GB pages. Work is in progress to support
53exposing NPT capable hardware on NPT capable hosts.
54
55Translation
56===========
57
58The primary job of the mmu is to program the processor's mmu to translate
59addresses for the guest. Different translations are required at different
60times:
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
70The primary challenge is to encode between 1 and 3 translations into hardware
71that support only 1 (traditional) and 2 (tdp) translations. When the
72number of required translations matches the hardware, the mmu operates in
73direct mode; otherwise it operates in shadow mode (see below).
74
75Memory
76======
77
78Guest memory (gpa) is part of the user address space of the process that is
79using kvm. Userspace defines the translation between guest addresses and user
80addresses (gpa->hva); note that two gpas may alias to the same gva, but not
81vice versa.
82
83These gvas may be backed using any method available to the host: anonymous
84memory, file backed memory, and device memory. Memory might be paged by the
85host at any time.
86
87Events
88======
89
90The mmu is driven by events, some from the guest, some from the host.
91
92Guest generated events:
93- writes to control registers (especially cr3)
94- invlpg/invlpga instruction execution
95- access to missing or protected translations
96
97Host 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
102Shadow pages
103============
104
105The principal data structure is the shadow page, 'struct kvm_mmu_page'. A
106shadow page contains 512 sptes, which can be either leaf or nonleaf sptes. A
107shadow page may contain a mix of leaf and nonleaf sptes.
108
109A nonleaf spte allows the hardware mmu to reach the leaf pages and
110is not related to a translation directly. It points to other shadow pages.
111
112A leaf spte corresponds to either one or two translations encoded into
113one paging structure entry. These are always the lowest level of the
114translation stack, with optional higher level translations left to NPT/EPT.
115Leaf ptes point at guest pages.
116
117The following table shows translations encoded by leaf ptes, with higher-level
118translations 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
131Shadow 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.cr4_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.
184 slot_bitmap:
185 A bitmap containing one bit per memory slot. If the page contains a pte
186 mapping a page from memory slot n, then bit n of slot_bitmap will be set
187 (if a page is aliased among several slots, then it is not guaranteed that
188 all slots will be marked).
189 Used during dirty logging to avoid scanning a shadow page if none if its
190 pages need tracking.
191 root_count:
192 A counter keeping track of how many hardware registers (guest cr3 or
193 pdptrs) are now pointing at the page. While this counter is nonzero, the
194 page cannot be destroyed. See role.invalid.
195 multimapped:
196 Whether there exist multiple sptes pointing at this page.
197 parent_pte/parent_ptes:
198 If multimapped is zero, parent_pte points at the single spte that points at
199 this page's spt. Otherwise, parent_ptes points at a data structure
200 with a list of parent_ptes.
201 unsync:
202 If true, then the translations in this page may not match the guest's
203 translation. This is equivalent to the state of the tlb when a pte is
204 changed but before the tlb entry is flushed. Accordingly, unsync ptes
205 are synchronized when the guest executes invlpg or flushes its tlb by
206 other means. Valid for leaf pages.
207 unsync_children:
208 How many sptes in the page point at pages that are unsync (or have
209 unsynchronized children).
210 unsync_child_bitmap:
211 A bitmap indicating which sptes in spt point (directly or indirectly) at
212 pages that may be unsynchronized. Used to quickly locate all unsychronized
213 pages reachable from a given page.
214
215Reverse map
216===========
217
218The mmu maintains a reverse mapping whereby all ptes mapping a page can be
219reached given its gfn. This is used, for example, when swapping out a page.
220
221Synchronized and unsynchronized pages
222=====================================
223
224The guest uses two events to synchronize its tlb and page tables: tlb flushes
225and page invalidations (invlpg).
226
227A tlb flush means that we need to synchronize all sptes reachable from the
228guest's cr3. This is expensive, so we keep all guest page tables write
229protected, and synchronize sptes to gptes when a gpte is written.
230
231A special case is when a guest page table is reachable from the current
232guest cr3. In this case, the guest is obliged to issue an invlpg instruction
233before using the translation. We take advantage of that by removing write
234protection from the guest page, and allowing the guest to modify it freely.
235We synchronize modified gptes when the guest invokes invlpg. This reduces
236the amount of emulation we have to do when the guest modifies multiple gptes,
237or when the a guest page is no longer used as a page table and is used for
238random guest data.
239
240As a side effect we have to resynchronize all reachable unsynchronized shadow
241pages on a tlb flush.
242
243
244Reaction to events
245==================
246
247- guest page fault (or npt page fault, or ept violation)
248
249This is the most complicated event. The cause of a page fault can be:
250
251 - a true guest fault (the guest translation won't allow the access) (*)
252 - access to a missing translation
253 - access to a protected translation
254 - when logging dirty pages, memory is write protected
255 - synchronized shadow pages are write protected (*)
256 - access to untranslatable memory (mmio)
257
258 (*) not applicable in direct mode
259
260Handling a page fault is performed as follows:
261
262 - if needed, walk the guest page tables to determine the guest translation
263 (gva->gpa or ngpa->gpa)
264 - if permissions are insufficient, reflect the fault back to the guest
265 - determine the host page
266 - if this is an mmio request, there is no host page; call the emulator
267 to emulate the instruction instead
268 - walk the shadow page table to find the spte for the translation,
269 instantiating missing intermediate page tables as necessary
270 - try to unsynchronize the page
271 - if successful, we can let the guest continue and modify the gpte
272 - emulate the instruction
273 - if failed, unshadow the page and let the guest continue
274 - update any translations that were modified by the instruction
275
276invlpg handling:
277
278 - walk the shadow page hierarchy and drop affected translations
279 - try to reinstantiate the indicated translation in the hope that the
280 guest will use it in the near future
281
282Guest control register updates:
283
284- mov to cr3
285 - look up new shadow roots
286 - synchronize newly reachable shadow pages
287
288- mov to cr0/cr4/efer
289 - set up mmu context for new paging mode
290 - look up new shadow roots
291 - synchronize newly reachable shadow pages
292
293Host translation updates:
294
295 - mmu notifier called with updated hva
296 - look up affected sptes through reverse map
297 - drop (or update) translations

559wake up caused by the firmware will have negated most safety nets...
560
561When any of the "too hot" alarms happen, according to Lenovo the user
562should suspend or hibernate the laptop (and in the case of battery
563alarms, unplug the AC adapter) to let it cool down. These alarms do
564signal that something is wrong, they should never happen on normal
565operating conditions.
566
567The "extremely hot" alarms are emergencies. According to Lenovo, the
568operating system is to force either an immediate suspend or hibernate
569cycle, or a system shutdown. Obviously, something is very wrong if this
570happens.

8Introduction
9------------
10CAIF is a MUX protocol used by ST-Ericsson cellular modems for
11communication between Modem and host. The host processes can open virtual AT
12channels, initiate GPRS Data connections, Video channels and Utility Channels.
13The Utility Channels are general purpose pipes between modem and host.
14
15ST-Ericsson modems support a number of transports between modem
16and host. Currently, UART and Loopback are available for Linux.
17
18
19Architecture:
20------------
21The 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.

47Using the Kernel API
48----------------------
49The Kernel API is used for accessing CAIF channels from the
50kernel.
51The user of the API has to implement two callbacks for receive
52and control.
53The receive callback gives a CAIF packet as a SKB. The control
54callback will
55notify of channel initialization complete, and flow-on/flow-
56off.

77CAIF Core Protocol Layer
78=========================================
79
80CAIF Core layer implements the CAIF protocol as defined by ST-Ericsson.
81It implements the CAIF protocol stack in a layered approach, where
82each layer described in the specification is implemented as a separate layer.
83The architecture is inspired by the design patterns "Protocol Layer" and
84"Protocol Packet".
85
86== CAIF structure ==
87The 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
103Layered Architecture
104--------------------
105The CAIF protocol can be divided into two parts: Support functions and Protocol
106Implementation. 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
117The 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.

178In 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
189Linux Driver Implementation
190===========================
191
192Linux GPRS Net Device and CAIF socket are implemented on top of the
193CAIF Core protocol. The Net device and CAIF socket have an instance of
194'struct cflayer', just like the CAIF Core protocol stack.
195Net 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
197receive of packets is handled as by the rest of the layers: the 'dn->transmit()'
198function is called in order to transmit data.
199
200The layer on top of the CAIF Core implementation is
201sometimes referred to as the "Client layer".
202
203
204Configuration of Link Layer
205---------------------------
206The Link Layer is implemented as Linux net devices (struct net_device).
207Payload handling and registration is done using standard Linux mechanisms.
208
209The CAIF Protocol relies on a loss-less link layer without implementing
210retransmission. This implies that packet drops must not happen.
211Therefore a flow-control mechanism is implemented where the physical
212interface can initiate flow stop for all CAIF Channels.

6=== Start ===
7If 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
17If you are working on integration of CAIF you should make sure
18that the kernel is built with module support.
19
20There are some things that need to be tweaked to get the host TTY correctly
21set up to talk to the modem.
22Since the CAIF stack is running in the kernel and we want to use the existing
23TTY, we are installing our physical serial driver as a line discipline above
24the TTY device.
25
26To achieve this we need to install the N_CAIF ldisc from user space.
27The benefit is that we can hook up to any TTY.
28
29The use of Start-of-frame-extension (STX) must also be set as
30module parameter "ser_use_stx".
31
32Normally Frame Checksum is always used on UART, but this is also provided as a
33module parameter "ser_use_fcs".
34
35$ modprobe caif_serial ser_ttyname=/dev/ttyS0 ser_use_stx=yes
36$ ifconfig caif_ttyS0 up
37
38PLEASE NOTE: There is a limitation in Android shell.
39 It only accepts one argument to insmod/modprobe!
40
41=== Trouble shooting ===
42
43There 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

71 Length(2)| | |
72 Control Channel(1)
73 Command:Enumeration(1)
74 Link-ID(1)
75 Checksum(2)
76 - Channel Setup:

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.

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

55indirectly by pppd using a pppol2tp socket. In the case of ethernet,
56the netdevice is created upon a netlink request to create an L2TPv3
57ethernet pseudowire.
58
59For PPP, the PPPoL2TP driver, net/l2tp/l2tp_ppp.c, provides a
60mechanism by which PPP frames carried through an L2TP session are
61passed through the kernel's PPP subsystem. The standard PPP daemon,
62pppd, handles all PPP interaction with the peer. PPP network
63interfaces are created for each local PPP endpoint. The kernel's PPP
22subsystem arranges for PPP control frames to be delivered to pppd, 64subsystem arranges for PPP control frames to be delivered to pppd,
23while data frames are forwarded as usual. 65while data frames are forwarded as usual.
24 66
67For ethernet, the L2TPETH driver, net/l2tp/l2tp_eth.c, implements a
68netdevice driver, managing virtual ethernet devices, one per
69pseudowire. These interfaces can be managed using standard Linux tools
70such as "ip" and "ifconfig". If only IP frames are passed over the
71tunnel, the interface can be given an IP addresses of itself and its
72peer. If non-IP frames are to be passed over the tunnel, the interface
73can be added to a bridge using brctl. All L2TP datapath protocol
74functions are handled by the L2TP core driver.

140For L2TPv3, userspace must use the netlink API defined in
141include/linux/l2tp.h to manage tunnel and session contexts. The
142general procedure to create a new L2TP tunnel with one session is:-
143
1441. Open a GENL socket using L2TP_GENL_NAME for configuring the kernel
145 using netlink.
146
1472. Create a UDP or L2TPIP socket for the tunnel.

152
1534. Create a new L2TP session in the tunnel using a
154 L2TP_CMD_SESSION_CREATE request.
155
156The tunnel and all of its sessions are closed when the tunnel socket
157is closed. The netlink API may also be used to delete sessions and
158tunnels. Configuration and status info may be set or read using netlink.
159
160The L2TP driver also supports static (unmanaged) L2TPv3 tunnels. These
161are where there is no L2TP control message exchange with the peer to
162setup the tunnel; the tunnel is configured manually at each end of the
163tunnel. There is no need for an L2TP userspace application in this
164case -- the tunnel socket is created by the kernel and configured
165using parameters sent in the L2TP_CMD_TUNNEL_CREATE netlink
166request. The "ip" utility of iproute2 has commands for managing static
167L2TPv3 tunnels; do "ip l2tp help" for more information.

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

1The padata parallel execution mechanism
2Last updated for 2.6.34
3
4Padata is a mechanism by which the kernel can farm work out to be done in
5parallel on multiple CPUs while retaining the ordering of tasks. It was
6developed for use with the IPsec code, which needs to be able to perform
7encryption and decryption on large numbers of packets without reordering
8those packets. The crypto developers made a point of writing padata in a
9sufficiently general fashion that it could be put to other uses as well.
10
11The first step in using padata is to set up a padata_instance structure for
12overall control of how tasks are to be run:
13
14 #include <linux/padata.h>
15
16 struct padata_instance *padata_alloc(const struct cpumask *cpumask,
17 struct workqueue_struct *wq);
18
19The cpumask describes which processors will be used to execute work
20submitted to this instance. The workqueue wq is where the work will
21actually be done; it should be a multithreaded queue, naturally.
22
23There are functions for enabling and disabling the instance:
24
25 void padata_start(struct padata_instance *pinst);
26 void padata_stop(struct padata_instance *pinst);
27
28These functions literally do nothing beyond setting or clearing the
29"padata_start() was called" flag; if that flag is not set, other functions
30will refuse to work.
31
32The list of CPUs to be used can be adjusted with these functions:
33
34 int padata_set_cpumask(struct padata_instance *pinst,
35 cpumask_var_t cpumask);
36 int padata_add_cpu(struct padata_instance *pinst, int cpu);
37 int padata_remove_cpu(struct padata_instance *pinst, int cpu);
38
39Changing the CPU mask has the look of an expensive operation, though, so it
40probably should not be done with great frequency.
41
42Actually submitting work to the padata instance requires the creation of a
43padata_priv structure:
44
45 struct padata_priv {
46 /* Other stuff here... */
47 void (*parallel)(struct padata_priv *padata);
48 void (*serial)(struct padata_priv *padata);
49 };
50
51This structure will almost certainly be embedded within some larger
52structure specific to the work to be done. Most its fields are private to
53padata, but the structure should be zeroed at initialization time, and the
54parallel() and serial() functions should be provided. Those functions will
55be called in the process of getting the work done as we will see
56momentarily.
57
58The submission of work is done with:
59
60 int padata_do_parallel(struct padata_instance *pinst,
61 struct padata_priv *padata, int cb_cpu);
62
63The pinst and padata structures must be set up as described above; cb_cpu
64specifies which CPU will be used for the final callback when the work is
65done; it must be in the current instance's CPU mask. The return value from
66padata_do_parallel() is a little strange; zero is an error return
67indicating that the caller forgot the padata_start() formalities. -EBUSY
68means that somebody, somewhere else is messing with the instance's CPU
69mask, while -EINVAL is a complaint about cb_cpu not being in that CPU mask.
70If all goes well, this function will return -EINPROGRESS, indicating that
71the work is in progress.
72
73Each task submitted to padata_do_parallel() will, in turn, be passed to
74exactly one call to the above-mentioned parallel() function, on one CPU, so
75true parallelism is achieved by submitting multiple tasks. Despite the
76fact that the workqueue is used to make these calls, parallel() is run with
77software interrupts disabled and thus cannot sleep. The parallel()
78function gets the padata_priv structure pointer as its lone parameter;
79information about the actual work to be done is probably obtained by using
80container_of() to find the enclosing structure.
81
82Note that parallel() has no return value; the padata subsystem assumes that
83parallel() will take responsibility for the task from this point. The work
84need not be completed during this call, but, if parallel() leaves work
85outstanding, it should be prepared to be called again with a new job before
86the previous one completes. When a task does complete, parallel() (or
87whatever function actually finishes the job) should inform padata of the
88fact with a call to:
89
90 void padata_do_serial(struct padata_priv *padata);
91
92At some point in the future, padata_do_serial() will trigger a call to the
93serial() function in the padata_priv structure. That call will happen on
94the CPU requested in the initial call to padata_do_parallel(); it, too, is
95done through the workqueue, but with local software interrupts disabled.
96Note that this call may be deferred for a while since the padata code takes
97pains to ensure that tasks are completed in the order in which they were
98submitted.
99
100The one remaining function in the padata API should be called to clean up
101when a padata instance is no longer needed:
102
103 void padata_free(struct padata_instance *pinst);
104
105This function will busy-wait while any remaining tasks are completed, so it
106might be best not to call it while there is work outstanding. Shutting
107down the workqueue, if necessary, should be done separately.

205Suspending a given device is done in several phases. Suspending the 243Suspending or resuming the system is done in several phases. Different phases

207before the next phase begins. Not all busses or classes support all 245hibernation state ("suspend-to-disk"). Each phase involves executing callbacks
208these callbacks; and not all drivers use all the callbacks. 246for every device before the next phase begins. Not all busses or classes
247support all these callbacks and not all drivers use all the callbacks. The
248various phases always run after tasks have been frozen and before they are
249unfrozen. Furthermore, the *_noirq phases run at a time when IRQ handlers have
250been disabled (except for those marked with the IRQ_WAKEUP flag).
209 251
210The phases are seen by driver notifications issued in this order: 252Most phases use bus, type, and class callbacks (that is, methods defined in
253dev->bus->pm, dev->type->pm, and dev->class->pm). The prepare and complete
254phases are exceptions; they use only bus callbacks. When multiple callbacks
255are used in a phase, they are invoked in the order: <class, type, bus> during
256power-down transitions and in the opposite order during power-up transitions.
257For 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 263before 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 264invokes
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 270These callbacks may in turn invoke device- or driver-specific methods stored in

226 been abstracted into class.suspend().
227 272
228The pm_message_t parameter is currently used to refine those semantics
229(described later).
230 273
231At the end of those phases, drivers should normally have stopped all I/O 274Entering System Suspend
232transactions (DMA, IRQs), saved enough state that they can re-initialize 275-----------------------
233or restore previous state (as needed by the hardware), and placed the 276When the system goes into the standby or memory sleep state, the phases are:
234device into a low-power state. On many platforms they will also use 277
235clk_disable() to gate off one or more clock sources; sometimes they will 278 prepare, suspend, suspend_noirq.
236also switch off power supplies, or reduce voltages. Drivers which have 279
237runtime 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
238needed 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
311At 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
313state (as needed by the hardware), and placed the device into a low-power state.
314On many platforms they will gate off one or more clock sources; sometimes they
315will also switch off power supplies or reduce voltages. (Drivers supporting
316runtime PM may already have performed some or all of these steps.)
317
318If device_may_wakeup(dev) returns true, the device should be prepared for
319generating hardware wakeup signals to trigger a system wakeup event when the
320system is in the sleep state. For example, enable_irq_wake() might identify
321GPIO signals hooked up to a switch or other external hardware, and
322pci_enable_wake() does something similar for the PCI PME signal.
323
324If any of these callbacks returns an error, the system won't enter the desired
325low-power state. Instead the PM core will unwind its actions by resuming all
326the devices that were suspended.
327
328
329Leaving System Suspend
330----------------------
331When 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
358At the end of these phases, drivers should be as functional as they were before
359suspending: I/O can be performed using DMA and IRQs, and the relevant clocks are
360gated on. Even if the device was in a low-power state before the system sleep
361because of runtime power management, afterwards it should be back in its
362full-power state. There are multiple reasons why it's best to do this; they are
363discussed in more detail in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt.
239 364
240When any driver sees that its device_can_wakeup(dev), it should make sure 365However, the details here may again be platform-specific. For example,
241to use the relevant hardware signals to trigger a system wakeup event. 366some systems support multiple "run" states, and the mode in effect at
242For example, enable_irq_wake() might identify GPIO signals hooked up to 367the end of resume might not be the one which preceded suspension.
243a switch or other external hardware, and pci_enable_wake() does something 368That means availability of certain clocks or power supplies changed,
244similar for PCI's PME# signal. 369which could easily affect how a driver works.
370
371Drivers need to be able to handle hardware which has been reset since the
372suspend methods were called, for example by complete reinitialization.
373This may be the hardest part, and the one most protected by NDA'd documents
374and chip errata. It's simplest if the hardware state hasn't changed since
375the suspend was carried out, but that can't be guaranteed (in fact, it ususally
376is not the case).
377
378Drivers must also be prepared to notice that the device has been removed
379while the system was powered down, whenever that's physically possible.
380PCMCIA, MMC, USB, Firewire, SCSI, and even IDE are common examples of busses
381where common Linux platforms will see such removal. Details of how drivers
382will notice and handle such removals are currently bus-specific, and often
383involve a separate thread.
384
385These callbacks may return an error value, but the PM core will ignore such
386errors since there's nothing it can do about them other than printing them in
387the system log.
388
389
390Entering Hibernation
391--------------------
392Hibernating the system is more complicated than putting it into the standby or
393memory sleep state, because it involves creating and saving a system image.
394Therefore there are more phases for hibernation, with a different set of
395callbacks. These phases always run after tasks have been frozen and memory has
396been freed.
397
398The general procedure for hibernation is to quiesce all devices (freeze), create
399an image of the system memory while everything is stable, reactivate all
400devices (thaw), write the image to permanent storage, and finally shut down the
401system (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
419At this point the system image is created. All devices should be inactive and
420the contents of memory should remain undisturbed while this happens, so that the
421image 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
434At this point the system image is saved, and the devices then need to be
435prepared for the upcoming system shutdown. This is much like suspending them
436before putting the system into the standby or memory sleep state, and the phases
437are 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
445The poweroff and poweroff_noirq callbacks should do essentially the same things
446as the suspend and suspend_noirq callbacks. The only notable difference is that
447they need not store the device register values, because the registers should
448already have been stored during the freeze or freeze_noirq phases.
449
450
451Leaving Hibernation
452-------------------
453Resuming from hibernation is, again, more complicated than resuming from a sleep
454state in which the contents of main memory are preserved, because it requires
455a system image to be loaded into memory and the pre-hibernation memory contents
456to be restored before control can be passed back to the image kernel.
457
458Although in principle, the image might be loaded into memory and the
459pre-hibernation memory contents restored by the boot loader, in practice this
460can't be done because boot loaders aren't smart enough and there is no
461established protocol for passing the necessary information. So instead, the
462boot loader loads a fresh instance of the kernel, called the boot kernel, into
463memory and passes control to it in the usual way. Then the boot kernel reads
464the system image, restores the pre-hibernation memory contents, and passes
465control to the image kernel. Thus two different kernels are involved in
466resuming from hibernation. In fact, the boot kernel may be completely different
467from the image kernel: a different configuration and even a different version.
468This has important consequences for device drivers and their subsystems.
469
470To be able to load the system image into memory, the boot kernel needs to
471include at least a subset of device drivers allowing it to access the storage
472medium containing the image, although it doesn't need to include all of the
473drivers present in the image kernel. After the image has been loaded, the
474devices managed by the boot kernel need to be prepared for passing control back
475to the image kernel. This is very similar to the initial steps involved in
476creating a system image, and it is accomplished in the same way, using prepare,
477freeze, and freeze_noirq phases. However the devices affected by these phases
478are only those having drivers in the boot kernel; other devices will still be in
479whatever state the boot loader left them.
480
481Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation memory contents fail, the boot
482kernel would go through the "thawing" procedure described above, using the
483thaw_noirq, thaw, and complete phases, and then continue running normally. This
484happens only rarely. Most often the pre-hibernation memory contents are
485restored successfully and control is passed to the image kernel, which then
486becomes responsible for bringing the system back to the working state.
487
488To achieve this, the image kernel must restore the devices' pre-hibernation
489functionality. The operation is much like waking up from the memory sleep
490state, 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
500The main difference from resume[_noirq] is that restore[_noirq] must assume the
501device has been accessed and reconfigured by the boot loader or the boot kernel.
502Consequently the state of the device may be different from the state remembered
503from the freeze and freeze_noirq phases. The device may even need to be reset
504and completely re-initialized. In many cases this difference doesn't matter, so
505the resume[_noirq] and restore[_norq] method pointers can be set to the same
506routines. Nevertheless, different callback pointers are used in case there is a
507situation where it actually matters.
245 508
246If a driver (or bus, or class) fails it suspend method, the system won't
247enter the desired low power state; it will resume all the devices it's
248suspended so far.
249 509
250Note that drivers may need to perform different actions based on the target 510System Devices
251system lowpower/sleep state. At this writing, there are only platform 511--------------
252specific APIs through which drivers could determine those target states. 512System devices (sysdevs) follow a slightly different API, which can be found in
513
514 include/linux/sysdev.h
515 drivers/base/sys.c
516
517System devices will be suspended with interrupts disabled, and after all other
518devices have been suspended. On resume, they will be resumed before any other
519devices, and also with interrupts disabled. These things occur in special
520"sysdev_driver" phases, which affect only system devices.
521
522Thus, after the suspend_noirq (or freeze_noirq or poweroff_noirq) phase, when
523the non-boot CPUs are all offline and IRQs are disabled on the remaining online
524CPU, then a sysdev_driver.suspend phase is carried out, and the system enters a
525sleep state (or a system image is created). During resume (or after the image
526has been created or loaded) a sysdev_driver.resume phase is carried out, IRQs
527are enabled on the only online CPU, the non-boot CPUs are enabled, and the
528resume_noirq (or thaw_noirq or restore_noirq) phase begins.
529
530Code to actually enter and exit the system-wide low power state sometimes
531involves hardware details that are only known to the boot firmware, and
532may leave a CPU running software (from SRAM or flash memory) that monitors
533the system and manages its wakeup sequence.

290type pm_message_t, which has one field: the event. If driver does not 571callbacks discussed above, because the callbacks occur too late or too early.

575actions that either require user space to be available, or at least won't
576interfere with user space.
294 577
295The event codes are used to refine the goal of suspending the device, and 578For details refer to Documentation/power/notifiers.txt.
296mostly matter when creating or resuming system memory image snapshots, as
297used 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
323To enter "standby" (ACPI S1) or "Suspend to RAM" (STR, ACPI S3) states, or
324the similarly named APM states, only PM_EVENT_SUSPEND is used; the other event
325codes are used for hibernation ("Suspend to Disk", STD, ACPI S4).
326
327There's also PM_EVENT_ON, a value which never appears as a suspend event
328but is sometimes used to record the "not suspended" device state.
329
330
331Resuming Devices
332----------------
333Resuming is done in multiple phases, much like suspending, with all
334devices processing each phase's calls before the next phase begins.
335
336The 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
348At the end of those phases, drivers should normally be as functional as
349they were before suspending: I/O can be performed using DMA and IRQs, and
350the relevant clocks are gated on. The device need not be "fully on"; it
351might be in a runtime lowpower/suspend state that acts as if it were.
352
353However, the details here may again be platform-specific. For example,
354some systems support multiple "run" states, and the mode in effect at
355the end of resume() might not be the one which preceded suspension.
356That means availability of certain clocks or power supplies changed,
357which could easily affect how a driver works.
358
359
360Drivers need to be able to handle hardware which has been reset since the
361suspend methods were called, for example by complete reinitialization.
362This may be the hardest part, and the one most protected by NDA'd documents
363and chip errata. It's simplest if the hardware state hasn't changed since
364the suspend() was called, but that can't always be guaranteed.
365
366Drivers must also be prepared to notice that the device has been removed
367while the system was powered off, whenever that's physically possible.
368PCMCIA, MMC, USB, Firewire, SCSI, and even IDE are common examples of busses
369where common Linux platforms will see such removal. Details of how drivers
370will notice and handle such removals are currently bus-specific, and often
371involve a separate thread.
372
373
374Note that the bus-specific runtime PM wakeup mechanism can exist, and might
375be defined to share some of the same driver code as for system wakeup. For
376example, a bus-specific device driver's resume() method might be used there,
377so it wouldn't only be called from bus.resume() during system-wide wakeup.
378See bus-specific information about how runtime wakeup events are handled.
379
380
381System Devices
382--------------
383System devices follow a slightly different API, which can be found in
384
385 include/linux/sysdev.h
386 drivers/base/sys.c
387
388System devices will only be suspended with interrupts disabled, and after
389all other devices have been suspended. On resume, they will be resumed
390before any other devices, and also with interrupts disabled.
391
392That is, IRQs are disabled, the suspend_late() phase begins, then the
393sysdev_driver.suspend() phase, and the system enters a sleep state. Then
394the sysdev_driver.resume() phase begins, followed by the resume_early()
395phase, after which IRQs are enabled.
396

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

20 24
21The PCI Power Management Specification was introduced between the PCI 2.1 and 251.1. Native and Platform-Based Power Management
22PCI 2.2 Specifications. It a standard interface for controlling various 26-----------------------------------------------
23power management operations. 27In general, power management is a feature allowing one to save energy by putting

26it. If a device supports the PCI PM Spec, the device will have an 8 byte 30

33an operational state (D0). 37
34 38PCI devices may be put into low-power states in two ways, by using the device
35There are actually two D3 states. When someone talks about D3, they usually 39capabilities introduced by the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification,
36mean D3hot, which corresponds to an ACPI D2 state (power is reduced, the 40or with the help of platform firmware, such as an ACPI BIOS. In the first
37device may lose some context). But they may also mean D3cold, which is an 41approach, that is referred to as the native PCI power management (native PCI PM)
38ACPI D3 state (power is fully off, all state was discarded); or both. 42in what follows, the device power state is changed as a result of writing a
39 43specific value into one of its standard configuration registers. The second
40Bus power management is not covered in this version of this document. 44approach requires the platform firmware to provide special methods that may be
41 45used by the kernel to change the device's power state.
42Note that all PCI devices support D0 and D3cold by default, regardless of 46
43whether or not they implement any of the PCI PM spec. 47Devices supporting the native PCI PM usually can generate wakeup signals called
44 48Power Management Events (PMEs) to let the kernel know about external events
45The possible state transitions that a device can undergo are: 49requiring the device to be active. After receiving a PME the kernel is supposed
46 50to put the device that sent it into the full-power state. However, the PCI Bus
47+---------------------------+ 51Power Management Interface Specification doesn't define any standard method of

60be placed into D3 and when resuming, all devices will be placed into D0. 64
61However, when the system is running, other state transitions are possible. 65Thus in many situations both the native and the platform-based power management
62 66mechanisms have to be used simultaneously to obtain the desired result.
632. How The PCI Subsystem Handles Power Management 67
64~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 681.2. Native PCI Power Management
65 69--------------------------------
66The PCI suspend/resume functionality is accessed indirectly via the Power 70The PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification (PCI PM Spec) was
67Management subsystem. At boot, the PCI driver registers a power management 71introduced between the PCI 2.1 and PCI 2.2 Specifications. It defined a
68callback with that layer. Upon entering a suspend state, the PM layer iterates 72standard interface for performing various operations related to power
69through all of its registered callbacks. This currently takes place only during 73management.
70APM state transitions. 74
71 75The implementation of the PCI PM Spec is optional for conventional PCI devices,
72Upon going to sleep, the PCI subsystem walks its device tree twice. Both times, 76but it is mandatory for PCI Express devices. If a device supports the PCI PM
73it does a depth first walk of the device tree. The first walk saves each of the 77Spec, it has an 8 byte power management capability field in its PCI
74device's state and checks for devices that will prevent the system from entering 78configuration space. This field is used to describe and control the standard
75a global power state. The next walk then places the devices in a low power 79features related to the native PCI power management.
80
81The 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
83in that state. However, the higher the number, the longer the latency for
84the device or bus to return to the full-power state (D0 or B0, respectively).
85
86There are two variants of the D3 state defined by the specification. The first
87one is D3hot, referred to as the software accessible D3, because devices can be
88programmed to go into it. The second one, D3cold, is the state that PCI devices
89are in when the supply voltage (Vcc) is removed from them. It is not possible
90to program a PCI device to go into D3cold, although there may be a programmable
91interface for putting the bus the device is on into a state in which Vcc is
92removed from all devices on the bus.
93
94PCI bus power management, however, is not supported by the Linux kernel at the
95time of this writing and therefore it is not covered by this document.
96
97Note that every PCI device can be in the full-power state (D0) or in D3cold,
98regardless of whether or not it implements the PCI PM Spec. In addition to
99that, if the PCI PM Spec is implemented by the device, it must support D3hot
100as well as D0. The support for the D1 and D2 power states is optional.
101
102PCI devices supporting the PCI PM Spec can be programmed to go to any of the
103supported low-power states (except for D3cold). While in D1-D3hot the
104standard configuration registers of the device must be accessible to software
105(i.e. the device is required to respond to PCI configuration accesses), although
106its I/O and memory spaces are then disabled. This allows the device to be
107programmatically put into D0. Thus the kernel can switch the device back and
108forth between D0 and the supported low-power states (except for D3cold) and the
109possible 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
123The transition from D3cold to D0 occurs when the supply voltage is provided to
124the device (i.e. power is restored). In that case the device returns to D0 with
125a full power-on reset sequence and the power-on defaults are restored to the
126device by hardware just as at initial power up.
127
128PCI devices supporting the PCI PM Spec can be programmed to generate PMEs
129while in a low-power state (D1-D3), but they are not required to be capable
130of generating PMEs from all supported low-power states. In particular, the
131capability of generating PMEs from D3cold is optional and depends on the
132presence of additional voltage (3.3Vaux) allowing the device to remain
133sufficiently active to generate a wakeup signal.
134
1351.3. ACPI Device Power Management
136---------------------------------
137The platform firmware support for the power management of PCI devices is
138system-specific. However, if the system in question is compliant with the
139Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Specification, like the
140majority of x86-based systems, it is supposed to implement device power
141management interfaces defined by the ACPI standard.
142
143For this purpose the ACPI BIOS provides special functions called "control
144methods" that may be executed by the kernel to perform specific tasks, such as
145putting a device into a low-power state. These control methods are encoded
146using special byte-code language called the ACPI Machine Language (AML) and
147stored in the machine's BIOS. The kernel loads them from the BIOS and executes
148them as needed using an AML interpreter that translates the AML byte code into
149computations and memory or I/O space accesses. This way, in theory, a BIOS
150writer can provide the kernel with a means to perform actions depending
151on the system design in a system-specific fashion.
152
153ACPI control methods may be divided into global control methods, that are not
154associated with any particular devices, and device control methods, that have
155to be defined separately for each device supposed to be handled with the help of
156the platform. This means, in particular, that ACPI device control methods can
157only be used to handle devices that the BIOS writer knew about in advance. The
158ACPI methods used for device power management fall into that category.
159
160The ACPI specification assumes that devices can be in one of four power states
161labeled as D0, D1, D2, and D3 that roughly correspond to the native PCI PM
162D0-D3 states (although the difference between D3hot and D3cold is not taken
163into account by ACPI). Moreover, for each power state of a device there is a
164set of power resources that have to be enabled for the device to be put into
165that state. These power resources are controlled (i.e. enabled or disabled)
166with the help of their own control methods, _ON and _OFF, that have to be
167defined individually for each of them.
168
169To put a device into the ACPI power state Dx (where x is a number between 0 and
1703 inclusive) the kernel is supposed to (1) enable the power resources required
171by 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
173is going to be put into a low-power state (D1-D3) and is supposed to generate
174wakeup signals from that state, the _DSW (or _PSW, replaced with _DSW by ACPI
1753.0) control method defined for it has to be executed before _PSx. Power
176resources that are not required by the device in the target power state and are
177not 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
179only be put into D0 this way.
180
181However, quite often the power states of devices are changed during a
182system-wide transition into a sleep state or back into the working state. ACPI
183defines four system sleep states, S1, S2, S3, and S4, and denotes the system
184working state as S0. In general, the target system sleep (or working) state
185determines the highest power (lowest number) state the device can be put
186into and the kernel is supposed to obtain this information by executing the
187device's _SxD control method (where x is a number between 0 and 4 inclusive).
188If the device is required to wake up the system from the target sleep state, the
189lowest power (highest number) state it can be put into is also determined by the
190target 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
192use the device's _PRW control method to learn which power resources need to be
193enabled for the device to be able to generate wakeup signals.
194
1951.4. Wakeup Signaling
196---------------------
197Wakeup signals generated by PCI devices, either as native PCI PMEs, or as
198a result of the execution of the _DSW (or _PSW) ACPI control method before
199putting the device into a low-power state, have to be caught and handled as
200appropriate. 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
202put the devices generating them into the full-power state and take care of the
203events that triggered them. In turn, if they are sent while the system is
204sleeping, they should cause the system's core logic to trigger wakeup.
205
206On ACPI-based systems wakeup signals sent by conventional PCI devices are
207converted into ACPI General-Purpose Events (GPEs) which are hardware signals
208from the system core logic generated in response to various events that need to
209be acted upon. Every GPE is associated with one or more sources of potentially
210interesting events. In particular, a GPE may be associated with a PCI device
211capable of signaling wakeup. The information on the connections between GPEs
212and event sources is recorded in the system's ACPI BIOS from where it can be
213read by the kernel.
214
215If a PCI device known to the system's ACPI BIOS signals wakeup, the GPE
216associated with it (if there is one) is triggered. The GPEs associated with PCI
217bridges may also be triggered in response to a wakeup signal from one of the
218devices below the bridge (this also is the case for root bridges) and, for
219example, native PCI PMEs from devices unknown to the system's ACPI BIOS may be
220handled this way.
221
222A GPE may be triggered when the system is sleeping (i.e. when it is in one of
223the 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
225may be identified later). The GPEs used in such situations are referred to as
226wakeup GPEs.
227
228Usually, however, GPEs are also triggered when the system is in the working
229state (ACPI S0) and in that case the system's core logic generates a System
230Control Interrupt (SCI) to notify the kernel of the event. Then, the SCI
231handler identifies the GPE that caused the interrupt to be generated which,
232in turn, allows the kernel to identify the source of the event (that may be
233a PCI device signaling wakeup). The GPEs used for notifying the kernel of
234events occurring while the system is in the working state are referred to as
235runtime GPEs.
236
237Unfortunately, there is no standard way of handling wakeup signals sent by
238conventional PCI devices on systems that are not ACPI-based, but there is one
239for PCI Express devices. Namely, the PCI Express Base Specification introduced
240a native mechanism for converting native PCI PMEs into interrupts generated by
241root ports. For conventional PCI devices native PMEs are out-of-band, so they
242are routed separately and they need not pass through bridges (in principle they
243may be routed directly to the system's core logic), but for PCI Express devices
244they are in-band messages that have to pass through the PCI Express hierarchy,
245including the root port on the path from the device to the Root Complex. Thus
246it was possible to introduce a mechanism by which a root port generates an
247interrupt whenever it receives a PME message from one of the devices below it.
248The PCI Express Requester ID of the device that sent the PME message is then
249recorded in one of the root port's configuration registers from where it may be
250read by the interrupt handler allowing the device to be identified. [PME
251messages sent by PCI Express endpoints integrated with the Root Complex don't
252pass through root ports, but instead they cause a Root Complex Event Collector
253(if there is one) to generate interrupts.]
254
255In principle the native PCI Express PME signaling may also be used on ACPI-based
256systems along with the GPEs, but to use it the kernel has to ask the system's
257ACPI BIOS to release control of root port configuration registers. The ACPI
258BIOS, however, is not required to allow the kernel to control these registers
259and if it doesn't do that, the kernel must not modify their contents. Of course
260the native PCI Express PME signaling cannot be used by the kernel in that case.
261
262
2632. PCI Subsystem and Device Power Management
264============================================
265
2662.1. Device Power Management Callbacks
267--------------------------------------
268The PCI Subsystem participates in the power management of PCI devices in a
269number of ways. First of all, it provides an intermediate code layer between
270the device power management core (PM core) and PCI device drivers.
271Specifically, the pm field of the PCI subsystem's struct bus_type object,
272pci_bus_type, points to a struct dev_pm_ops object, pci_dev_pm_ops, containing
273pointers to several device power management callbacks:
274
275const 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
295These callbacks are executed by the PM core in various situations related to
296device power management and they, in turn, execute power management callbacks
297provided by PCI device drivers. They also perform power management operations
298involving some standard configuration registers of PCI devices that device
299drivers need not know or care about.
300
301The structure representing a PCI device, struct pci_dev, contains several fields
302that these callbacks operate on:
303
304struct 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
320They also indirectly use some fields of the struct device that is embedded in
321struct pci_dev.
322
3232.2. Device Initialization
324--------------------------
325The PCI subsystem's first task related to device power management is to
326prepare the device for power management and initialize the fields of struct
327pci_dev used for this purpose. This happens in two functions defined in
328drivers/pci/pci.c, pci_pm_init() and platform_pci_wakeup_init().
329
330The first of these functions checks if the device supports native PCI PM
331and if that's the case the offset of its power management capability structure
332in the configuration space is stored in the pm_cap field of the device's struct
333pci_dev object. Next, the function checks which PCI low-power states are
334supported by the device and from which low-power states the device can generate
335native PCI PMEs. The power management fields of the device's struct pci_dev and
336the struct device embedded in it are updated accordingly and the generation of
337PMEs by the device is disabled.
338
339The second function checks if the device can be prepared to signal wakeup with
340the help of the platform firmware, such as the ACPI BIOS. If that is the case,
341the function updates the wakeup fields in struct device embedded in the
342device's struct pci_dev and uses the firmware-provided method to prevent the
343device from signaling wakeup.
344
345At this point the device is ready for power management. For driverless devices,
346however, this functionality is limited to a few basic operations carried out
347during system-wide transitions to a sleep state and back to the working state.
348
3492.3. Runtime Device Power Management
350------------------------------------
351The PCI subsystem plays a vital role in the runtime power management of PCI
352devices. For this purpose it uses the general runtime power management
353(runtime PM) framework described in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt.
354Namely, it provides subsystem-level callbacks:
355
356 pci_pm_runtime_suspend()
357 pci_pm_runtime_resume()
358 pci_pm_runtime_idle()
359
360that are executed by the core runtime PM routines. It also implements the
361entire mechanics necessary for handling runtime wakeup signals from PCI devices
362in low-power states, which at the time of this writing works for both the native
363PCI Express PME signaling and the ACPI GPE-based wakeup signaling described in
364Section 1.
365
366First, a PCI device is put into a low-power state, or suspended, with the help
367of pm_schedule_suspend() or pm_runtime_suspend() which for PCI devices call
368pci_pm_runtime_suspend() to do the actual job. For this to work, the device's
369driver has to provide a pm->runtime_suspend() callback (see below), which is
370run by pci_pm_runtime_suspend() as the first action. If the driver's callback
371returns successfully, the device's standard configuration registers are saved,
372the device is prepared to generate wakeup signals and, finally, it is put into
373the target low-power state.
374
375The low-power state to put the device into is the lowest-power (highest number)
376state from which it can signal wakeup. The exact method of signaling wakeup is
377system-dependent and is determined by the PCI subsystem on the basis of the
378reported capabilities of the device and the platform firmware. To prepare the
379device for signaling wakeup and put it into the selected low-power state, the
380PCI subsystem can use the platform firmware as well as the device's native PCI
381PM capabilities, if supported.
382
383It is expected that the device driver's pm->runtime_suspend() callback will
384not attempt to prepare the device for signaling wakeup or to put it into a
385low-power state. The driver ought to leave these tasks to the PCI subsystem
386that has all of the information necessary to perform them.
387
388A suspended device is brought back into the "active" state, or resumed,
389with the help of pm_request_resume() or pm_runtime_resume() which both call
390pci_pm_runtime_resume() for PCI devices. Again, this only works if the device's
391driver provides a pm->runtime_resume() callback (see below). However, before
392the driver's callback is executed, pci_pm_runtime_resume() brings the device
393back into the full-power state, prevents it from signaling wakeup while in that
394state and restores its standard configuration registers. Thus the driver's
395callback need not worry about the PCI-specific aspects of the device resume.
396
397Note that generally pci_pm_runtime_resume() may be called in two different
398situations. First, it may be called at the request of the device's driver, for
399example if there are some data for it to process. Second, it may be called
400as a result of a wakeup signal from the device itself (this sometimes is
401referred to as "remote wakeup"). Of course, for this purpose the wakeup signal
402is handled in one of the ways described in Section 1 and finally converted into
403a notification for the PCI subsystem after the source device has been
404identified.
405
406The pci_pm_runtime_idle() function, called for PCI devices by pm_runtime_idle()
407and pm_request_idle(), executes the device driver's pm->runtime_idle()
408callback, if defined, and if that callback doesn't return error code (or is not
409present at all), suspends the device with the help of pm_runtime_suspend().
410Sometimes pci_pm_runtime_idle() is called automatically by the PM core (for
411example, it is called right after the device has just been resumed), in which
412cases it is expected to suspend the device if that makes sense. Usually,
413however, the PCI subsystem doesn't really know if the device really can be
414suspended, so it lets the device's driver decide by running its
415pm->runtime_idle() callback.
416
4172.4. System-Wide Power Transitions
418----------------------------------
419There are a few different types of system-wide power transitions, described in
420Documentation/power/devices.txt. Each of them requires devices to be handled
421in a specific way and the PM core executes subsystem-level power management
422callbacks for this purpose. They are executed in phases such that each phase
423involves executing the same subsystem-level callback for every device belonging
424to the given subsystem before the next phase begins. These phases always run
425after tasks have been frozen.
426
4272.4.1. System Suspend
428
429When the system is going into a sleep state in which the contents of memory will
430be preserved, such as one of the ACPI sleep states S1-S3, the phases are:
431
432 prepare, suspend, suspend_noirq.
433
434The 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
440The pci_pm_prepare() routine first puts the device into the "fully functional"
441state with the help of pm_runtime_resume(). Then, it executes the device
442driver's pm->prepare() callback if defined (i.e. if the driver's struct
443dev_pm_ops object is present and the prepare pointer in that object is valid).
444
445The pci_pm_suspend() routine first checks if the device's driver implements
446legacy PCI suspend routines (see Section 3), in which case the driver's legacy
447suspend callback is executed, if present, and its result is returned. Next, if
448the device's driver doesn't provide a struct dev_pm_ops object (containing
449pointers to the driver's callbacks), pci_pm_default_suspend() is called, which
450simply turns off the device's bus master capability and runs
451pcibios_disable_device() to disable it, unless the device is a bridge (PCI
452bridges are ignored by this routine). Next, the device driver's pm->suspend()
453callback is executed, if defined, and its result is returned if it fails.
454Finally, pci_fixup_device() is called to apply hardware suspend quirks related
455to the device if necessary.
456
457Note that the suspend phase is carried out asynchronously for PCI devices, so
458the pci_pm_suspend() callback may be executed in parallel for any pair of PCI
459devices that don't depend on each other in a known way (i.e. none of the paths
460in the device tree from the root bridge to a leaf device contains both of them).
461
462The pci_pm_suspend_noirq() routine is executed after suspend_device_irqs() has
463been called, which means that the device driver's interrupt handler won't be
464invoked while this routine is running. It first checks if the device's driver
465implements legacy PCI suspends routines (Section 3), in which case the legacy
466late suspend routine is called and its result is returned (the standard
467configuration registers of the device are saved if the driver's callback hasn't
468done that). Second, if the device driver's struct dev_pm_ops object is not
469present, the device's standard configuration registers are saved and the routine
470returns success. Otherwise the device driver's pm->suspend_noirq() callback is
471executed, if present, and its result is returned if it fails. Next, if the
472device's standard configuration registers haven't been saved yet (one of the
473device driver's callbacks executed before might do that), pci_pm_suspend_noirq()
474saves them, prepares the device to signal wakeup (if necessary) and puts it into
475a low-power state.
476
477The low-power state to put the device into is the lowest-power (highest number)
478state from which it can signal wakeup while the system is in the target sleep
479state. Just like in the runtime PM case described above, the mechanism of
480signaling wakeup is system-dependent and determined by the PCI subsystem, which
481is also responsible for preparing the device to signal wakeup from the system's
482target sleep state as appropriate.
483
484PCI device drivers (that don't implement legacy power management callbacks) are
485generally not expected to prepare devices for signaling wakeup or to put them
486into 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
488registers, pci_pm_suspend_noirq() will assume that the device has been prepared
489to signal wakeup and put into a low-power state by the driver (the driver is
490then assumed to have used the helper functions provided by the PCI subsystem for
491this purpose). PCI device drivers are not encouraged to do that, but in some
492rare cases doing that in the driver may be the optimum approach.
493
4942.4.2. System Resume
495
496When the system is undergoing a transition from a sleep state in which the
497contents of memory have been preserved, such as one of the ACPI sleep states
498S1-S3, into the working state (ACPI S0), the phases are:
499
500 resume_noirq, resume, complete.
501
502The following PCI bus type's callbacks, respectively, are executed in these
503phases:
504
505 pci_pm_resume_noirq()
506 pci_pm_resume()
507 pci_pm_complete()
508
509The pci_pm_resume_noirq() routine first puts the device into the full-power
510state, restores its standard configuration registers and applies early resume
511hardware quirks related to the device, if necessary. This is done
512unconditionally, regardless of whether or not the device's driver implements
513legacy PCI power management callbacks (this way all PCI devices are in the
514full-power state and their standard configuration registers have been restored
515when their interrupt handlers are invoked for the first time during resume,
516which allows the kernel to avoid problems with the handling of shared interrupts
517by drivers whose devices are still suspended). If legacy PCI power management
518callbacks (see Section 3) are implemented by the device's driver, the legacy
519early resume callback is executed and its result is returned. Otherwise, the
520device driver's pm->resume_noirq() callback is executed, if defined, and its
521result is returned.
522
523The pci_pm_resume() routine first checks if the device's standard configuration
524registers have been restored and restores them if that's not the case (this
525only is necessary in the error path during a failing suspend). Next, resume
526hardware quirks related to the device are applied, if necessary, and if the
527device's driver implements legacy PCI power management callbacks (see
528Section 3), the driver's legacy resume callback is executed and its result is
529returned. Otherwise, the device's wakeup signaling mechanisms are blocked and
530its driver's pm->resume() callback is executed, if defined (the callback's
531result is then returned).
532
533The resume phase is carried out asynchronously for PCI devices, like the
534suspend phase described above, which means that if two PCI devices don't depend
535on each other in a known way, the pci_pm_resume() routine may be executed for
536the both of them in parallel.
537
538The pci_pm_complete() routine only executes the device driver's pm->complete()
539callback, if defined.
540
5412.4.3. System Hibernation
542
543System hibernation is more complicated than system suspend, because it requires
544a system image to be created and written into a persistent storage medium. The
545image is created atomically and all devices are quiesced, or frozen, before that
546happens.
547
548The freezing of devices is carried out after enough memory has been freed (at
549the time of this writing the image creation requires at least 50% of system RAM
550to be free) in the following three phases:
551
552 prepare, freeze, freeze_noirq
553
554that correspond to the PCI bus type's callbacks:
555
556 pci_pm_prepare()
557 pci_pm_freeze()
558 pci_pm_freeze_noirq()
559
560This means that the prepare phase is exactly the same as for system suspend.
561The other two phases, however, are different.
562
563The pci_pm_freeze() routine is quite similar to pci_pm_suspend(), but it runs
564the device driver's pm->freeze() callback, if defined, instead of pm->suspend(),
565and it doesn't apply the suspend-related hardware quirks. It is executed
566asynchronously for different PCI devices that don't depend on each other in a
567known way.
568
569The pci_pm_freeze_noirq() routine, in turn, is similar to
570pci_pm_suspend_noirq(), but it calls the device driver's pm->freeze_noirq()
571routine instead of pm->suspend_noirq(). It also doesn't attempt to prepare the
572device for signaling wakeup and put it into a low-power state. Still, it saves
573the device's standard configuration registers if they haven't been saved by one
574of the driver's callbacks.
575
576Once the image has been created, it has to be saved. However, at this point all
577devices are frozen and they cannot handle I/O, while their ability to handle
578I/O is obviously necessary for the image saving. Thus they have to be brought
579back to the fully functional state and this is done in the following phases:
580
581 thaw_noirq, thaw, complete
582
583using the following PCI bus type's callbacks:
584
585 pci_pm_thaw_noirq()
586 pci_pm_thaw()
587 pci_pm_complete()
588
589respectively.
590
591The first of them, pci_pm_thaw_noirq(), is analogous to pci_pm_resume_noirq(),
592but it doesn't put the device into the full power state and doesn't attempt to
593restore its standard configuration registers. It also executes the device
594driver's pm->thaw_noirq() callback, if defined, instead of pm->resume_noirq().
595
596The pci_pm_thaw() routine is similar to pci_pm_resume(), but it runs the device
597driver's pm->thaw() callback instead of pm->resume(). It is executed
598asynchronously for different PCI devices that don't depend on each other in a
599known way.
600
601The complete phase it the same as for system resume.
602
603After saving the image, devices need to be powered down before the system can
604enter the target sleep state (ACPI S4 for ACPI-based systems). This is done in
605three phases:
606
607 prepare, poweroff, poweroff_noirq
608
609where the prepare phase is exactly the same as for system suspend. The other
610two phases are analogous to the suspend and suspend_noirq phases, respectively.
611The PCI subsystem-level callbacks they correspond to
612
613 pci_pm_poweroff()
614 pci_pm_poweroff_noirq()
615
616work in analogy with pci_pm_suspend() and pci_pm_poweroff_noirq(), respectively,
617although they don't attempt to save the device's standard configuration
618registers.
619
6202.4.4. System Restore
621
622System restore requires a hibernation image to be loaded into memory and the
623pre-hibernation memory contents to be restored before the pre-hibernation system
624activity can be resumed.
625
626As described in Documentation/power/devices.txt, the hibernation image is loaded
627into memory by a fresh instance of the kernel, called the boot kernel, which in
628turn is loaded and run by a boot loader in the usual way. After the boot kernel
629has loaded the image, it needs to replace its own code and data with the code
630and data of the "hibernated" kernel stored within the image, called the image
631kernel. For this purpose all devices are frozen just like before creating
632the image during hibernation, in the
633
634 prepare, freeze, freeze_noirq
635
636phases described above. However, the devices affected by these phases are only
637those having drivers in the boot kernel; other devices will still be in whatever
638state the boot loader left them.
639
640Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation memory contents fail, the boot
641kernel would go through the "thawing" procedure described above, using the
642thaw_noirq, thaw, and complete phases (that will only affect the devices having
643drivers in the boot kernel), and then continue running normally.
644
645If the pre-hibernation memory contents are restored successfully, which is the
646usual situation, control is passed to the image kernel, which then becomes
647responsible for bringing the system back to the working state. To achieve this,
648it must restore the devices' pre-hibernation functionality, which is done much
649like waking up from the memory sleep state, although it involves different
650phases:
651
652 restore_noirq, restore, complete
653
654The first two of these are analogous to the resume_noirq and resume phases
655described above, respectively, and correspond to the following PCI subsystem
656callbacks:
657
658 pci_pm_restore_noirq()
659 pci_pm_restore()
660
661These callbacks work in analogy with pci_pm_resume_noirq() and pci_pm_resume(),
662respectively, but they execute the device driver's pm->restore_noirq() and
663pm->restore() callbacks, if available.
664
665The complete phase is carried out in exactly the same way as during system
666resume.
667
668
6693. PCI Device Drivers and Power Management
670==========================================
671
6723.1. Power Management Callbacks
673-------------------------------
674PCI device drivers participate in power management by providing callbacks to be
675executed by the PCI subsystem's power management routines described above and by
676controlling the runtime power management of their devices.
677
678At the time of this writing there are two ways to define power management
679callbacks for a PCI device driver, the recommended one, based on using a
680dev_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,
683however, doesn't allow one to define runtime power management callbacks and is
684not really suitable for any new drivers. Therefore it is not covered by this
685document (refer to the source code to learn more about it).
686
687It is recommended that all PCI device drivers define a struct dev_pm_ops object
688containing pointers to power management (PM) callbacks that will be executed by
689the PCI subsystem's PM routines in various circumstances. A pointer to the
690driver's struct dev_pm_ops object has to be assigned to the driver.pm field in
691its struct pci_driver object. Once that has happened, the "legacy" PM callbacks
692in struct pci_driver are ignored (even if they are not NULL).
693
694The PM callbacks in struct dev_pm_ops are not mandatory and if they are not
695defined (i.e. the respective fields of struct dev_pm_ops are unset) the PCI
696subsystem will handle the device in a simplified default manner. If they are
697defined, though, they are expected to behave as described in the following
698subsections.
699
7003.1.1. prepare()
701
702The prepare() callback is executed during system suspend, during hibernation
703(when a hibernation image is about to be created), during power-off after
704saving a hibernation image and during system restore, when a hibernation image
705has just been loaded into memory.
706
707This callback is only necessary if the driver's device has children that in
708general may be registered at any time. In that case the role of the prepare()
709callback is to prevent new children of the device from being registered until
710one of the resume_noirq(), thaw_noirq(), or restore_noirq() callbacks is run.
711
712In addition to that the prepare() callback may carry out some operations
713preparing 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
715preallocated earlier, for example in a suspend/hibernate notifier as described
716in Documentation/power/notifiers.txt).
717
7183.1.2. suspend()
719
720The suspend() callback is only executed during system suspend, after prepare()
721callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system.
722
723This callback is expected to quiesce the device and prepare it to be put into a
724low-power state by the PCI subsystem. It is not required (in fact it even is
725not recommended) that a PCI driver's suspend() callback save the standard
726configuration registers of the device, prepare it for waking up the system, or
727put it into a low-power state. All of these operations can very well be taken
728care of by the PCI subsystem, without the driver's participation.
729
730However, in some rare case it is convenient to carry out these operations in
731a PCI driver. Then, pci_save_state(), pci_prepare_to_sleep(), and
732pci_set_power_state() should be used to save the device's standard configuration
733registers, to prepare it for system wakeup (if necessary), and to put it into a
734low-power state, respectively. Moreover, if the driver calls pci_save_state(),
735the PCI subsystem will not execute either pci_prepare_to_sleep(), or
736pci_set_power_state() for its device, so the driver is then responsible for
737handling the device as appropriate.
738
739While the suspend() callback is being executed, the driver's interrupt handler
740can be invoked to handle an interrupt from the device, so all suspend-related
741operations relying on the driver's ability to handle interrupts should be
742carried out in this callback.
743
7443.1.3. suspend_noirq()
745
746The suspend_noirq() callback is only executed during system suspend, after
747suspend() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and
748after device interrupts have been disabled by the PM core.
749
750The difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend() is that the driver's
751interrupt handler will not be invoked while suspend_noirq() is running. Thus
752suspend_noirq() can carry out operations that would cause race conditions to
753arise if they were performed in suspend().
754
7553.1.4. freeze()
756
757The freeze() callback is hibernation-specific and is executed in two situations,
758during hibernation, after prepare() callbacks have been executed for all devices
759in preparation for the creation of a system image, and during restore,
760after a system image has been loaded into memory from persistent storage and the
761prepare() callbacks have been executed for all devices.
762
763The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend() callback
764described above. In fact, they only need to be different in the rare cases when
765the driver takes the responsibility for putting the device into a low-power
76state. 766state.
77 767
78The first walk allows a graceful recovery in the event of a failure, since none 768In that cases the freeze() callback should not prepare the device system wakeup
79of the devices have actually been powered down. 769or put it into a low-power state. Still, either it or freeze_noirq() should
80 770save the device's standard configuration registers using pci_save_state().
81In both walks, in particular the second, all children of a bridge are touched
82before the actual bridge itself. This allows the bridge to retain power while
83its children are being accessed.
84
85Upon resuming from sleep, just the opposite must be true: all bridges must be
86powered on and restored before their children are powered on. This is easily
87accomplished with a breadth-first walk of the PCI device tree.
88
89
903. PCI Utility Functions
91~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
92
93These are helper functions designed to be called by individual device drivers.
94Assuming that a device behaves as advertised, these should be applicable in most
95cases. However, results may vary.
96
97Note that these functions are never implicitly called for the driver. The driver
98is always responsible for deciding when and if to call these.
99
100
101pci_save_state
102--------------
103
104Usage:
105 pci_save_state(struct pci_dev *dev);
106
107Description:
108 Save first 64 bytes of PCI config space, along with any additional
109 PCI-Express or PCI-X information.
110
111
112pci_restore_state
113-----------------
114
115Usage:
116 pci_restore_state(struct pci_dev *dev);
117
118Description:
119 Restore previously saved config space.
120
121
122pci_set_power_state
123-------------------
124
125Usage:
126 pci_set_power_state(struct pci_dev *dev, pci_power_t state);
127
128Description:
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
138pci_enable_wake
139---------------
140
141Usage:
142 pci_enable_wake(struct pci_dev *dev, pci_power_t state, int enable);
143
144Description:
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
1594. PCI Device Drivers
160~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
161
162These functions are intended for use by individual drivers, and are defined in
163struct pci_driver:
164
165 int (*suspend) (struct pci_dev *dev, pm_message_t state);
166 int (*resume) (struct pci_dev *dev);
167
168
169suspend
170-------
171
172Usage:
173
174if (dev->driver && dev->driver->suspend)
175 dev->driver->suspend(dev,state);
176
177A driver uses this function to actually transition the device into a low power
178state. This should include disabling I/O, IRQs, and bus-mastering, as well as
179physically transitioning the device to a lower power state; it may also include
180calls to pci_enable_wake().
181
182Bus mastering may be disabled by doing:
183
184pci_disable_device(dev);
185
186For devices that support the PCI PM Spec, this may be used to set the device's
187power state to match the suspend() parameter:
188
189pci_set_power_state(dev,state);
190
191The driver is also responsible for disabling any other device-specific features
192(e.g blanking screen, turning off on-card memory, etc).
193
194The driver should be sure to track the current state of the device, as it may
195obviate the need for some operations.
196
197The driver should update the current_state field in its pci_dev structure in
198this function, except for PM-capable devices when pci_set_power_state is used.
199
200resume
201------
202
203Usage:
204
205if (dev->driver && dev->driver->resume)
206 dev->driver->resume(dev)
207 771
208The resume callback may be called from any power state, and is always meant to 7723.1.5. freeze_noirq()
209transition the device to the D0 state.
210 773
211The driver is responsible for reenabling any features of the device that had 774The freeze_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed during
212been disabled during previous suspend calls, such as IRQs and bus mastering, 775hibernation, after prepare() and freeze() callbacks have been executed for all
213as well as calling pci_restore_state(). 776devices in preparation for the creation of a system image, and during restore,
777after a system image has been loaded into memory and after prepare() and
778freeze() callbacks have been executed for all devices. It is always executed
779after device interrupts have been disabled by the PM core.
214 780
215If the device is currently in D3, it may need to be reinitialized in resume(). 781The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend_noirq()
782callback described above and it very rarely is necessary to define
783freeze_noirq().
216 784
217 * Some types of devices, like bus controllers, will preserve context in D3hot 785The difference between freeze_noirq() and freeze() is analogous to the
218 (using Vcc power). Their drivers will often want to avoid re-initializing 786difference 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 7883.1.6. 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 790The 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 791is about to be powered off after saving a hibernation image to a persistent
229 will sometimes re-initialize the device. 792storage. prepare() callbacks are executed for all devices before poweroff() is
793called.
230 794
231To handle resets during D3 to D0 transitions, it may be convenient to share 795The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend() and freeze()
232device initialization code between probe() and resume(). Device parameters 796callbacks described above, although it does not need to save the contents of
233can also be saved before the driver suspends into D3, avoiding re-probe. 797the device's registers. In particular, if the driver wants to put the device
798into a low-power state itself instead of allowing the PCI subsystem to do that,
799the poweroff() callback should use pci_prepare_to_sleep() and
800pci_set_power_state() to prepare the device for system wakeup and to put it
801into a low-power state, respectively, but it need not save the device's standard
802configuration registers.
234 803
235If the device supports the PCI PM Spec, it can use this to physically transition 8043.1.7. poweroff_noirq()
236the device to D0:
237 805
238pci_set_power_state(dev,0); 806The poweroff_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after
807poweroff() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system.
239 808
240Note that if the entire system is transitioning out of a global sleep state, all 809The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend_noirq() and
241devices will be placed in the D0 state, so this is not necessary. However, in 810freeze_noirq() callbacks described above, but it does not need to save the
242the event that the device is placed in the D3 state during normal operation, 811contents of the device's registers.
243this call is necessary. It is impossible to determine which of the two events is
244taking place in the driver, so it is always a good idea to make that call.
245 812
246The driver should take note of the state that it is resuming from in order to 813The difference between poweroff_noirq() and poweroff() is analogous to the
247ensure correct (and speedy) operation. 814difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend().

249The driver should update the current_state field in its pci_dev structure in 8163.1.8. resume_noirq()
250this function, except for PM-capable devices when pci_set_power_state is used.
251 817
818The resume_noirq() callback is only executed during system resume, after the
819PM core has enabled the non-boot CPUs. The driver's interrupt handler will not
820be invoked while resume_noirq() is running, so this callback can carry out
821operations that might race with the interrupt handler.
252 822
823Since the PCI subsystem unconditionally puts all devices into the full power
824state in the resume_noirq phase of system resume and restores their standard
825configuration registers, resume_noirq() is usually not necessary. In general
826it should only be used for performing operations that would lead to race
827conditions if carried out by resume().

277 pci_enable_device();
278 pci_set_master();
279 840
280 /* if using MSI, device's vector possibly is changed */ 841The thaw_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after a
281 pci_enable_msi(); 842system image has been created and the non-boot CPUs have been enabled by the PM
843core, in the thaw_noirq phase of hibernation. It also may be executed if the
844loading of a hibernation image fails during system restore (it is then executed
845after enabling the non-boot CPUs). The driver's interrupt handler will not be
846invoked while thaw_noirq() is running.
282 847
283 request_irq(); 848The role of this callback is analogous to the role of resume_noirq(). The
284 /* driver specific operations; */ 849difference between these two callbacks is that thaw_noirq() is executed after
285} 850freeze() and freeze_noirq(), so in general it does not need to modify the
851contents of the device's registers.
286 852
287This is a typical implementation. Drivers can slightly change the order 8533.1.11. thaw()
288of the operations in the implementation, ignore some operations or add
289more driver specific operations in it, but drivers should do something like
290this on the whole.
291 854
2925. Resources 855The thaw() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after thaw_noirq()
293~~~~~~~~~~~~ 856callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and after device
857interrupts have been enabled by the PM core.
294 858
295PCI Local Bus Specification 859This callback is responsible for restoring the pre-freeze configuration of
296PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification 860the device, so that it will work in a usual way after thaw() has returned.
297 861
298 http://www.pcisig.com 8623.1.12. restore_noirq()
299 863
864The restore_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed in the
865restore_noirq phase of hibernation, when the boot kernel has passed control to
866the image kernel and the non-boot CPUs have been enabled by the image kernel's
867PM core.
868
869This callback is analogous to resume_noirq() with the exception that it cannot
870make any assumption on the previous state of the device, even if the BIOS (or
871generally the platform firmware) is known to preserve that state over a
872suspend-resume cycle.
873
874For the vast majority of PCI device drivers there is no difference between
875resume_noirq() and restore_noirq().
876
8773.1.13. restore()
878
879The restore() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after
880restore_noirq() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and
881after the PM core has enabled device drivers' interrupt handlers to be invoked.
882
883This callback is analogous to resume(), just like restore_noirq() is analogous
884to resume_noirq(). Consequently, the difference between restore_noirq() and
885restore() is analogous to the difference between resume_noirq() and resume().
886
887For the vast majority of PCI device drivers there is no difference between
888resume() and restore().
889
8903.1.14. complete()
891
892The 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.
899It 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
901devices that have drivers in the boot kernel).
902
903This callback is entirely optional, although it may be necessary if the
904prepare() callback performs operations that need to be reversed.
905
9063.1.15. runtime_suspend()
907
908The 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
910device is about to be suspended (i.e. quiesced and put into a low-power state)
911at run time.
912
913This callback is responsible for freezing the device and preparing it to be
914put into a low-power state, but it must allow the PCI subsystem to perform all
915of the PCI-specific actions necessary for suspending the device.
916
9173.1.16. runtime_resume()
918
919The runtime_resume() callback is specific to device runtime PM. It is executed
920by 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
922run time.
923
924This callback is responsible for restoring the normal functionality of the
925device after it has been put into the full-power state by the PCI subsystem.
926The device is expected to be able to process I/O in the usual way after
927runtime_resume() has returned.
928
9293.1.17. runtime_idle()
930
931The runtime_idle() callback is specific to device runtime PM. It is executed
932by the PM core's runtime PM framework whenever it may be desirable to suspend
933the device according to the PM core's information. In particular, it is
934automatically executed right after runtime_resume() has returned in case the
935resume of the device has happened as a result of a spurious event.
936
937This callback is optional, but if it is not implemented or if it returns 0, the
938PCI subsystem will call pm_runtime_suspend() for the device, which in turn will
939cause the driver's runtime_suspend() callback to be executed.
940
9413.1.18. Pointing Multiple Callback Pointers to One Routine
942
943Although in principle each of the callbacks described in the previous
944subsections can be defined as a separate function, it often is convenient to
945point two or more members of struct dev_pm_ops to the same routine. There are
946a few convenience macros that can be used for this purpose.
947
948The SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS macro declares a struct dev_pm_ops object with one
949suspend routine pointed to by the .suspend(), .freeze(), and .poweroff()
950members 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
952unset.
953
954The UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS macro is similar to SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS, but it
955additionally sets the .runtime_resume() pointer to the same value as
956.resume() (and .thaw(), and .restore()) and the .runtime_suspend() pointer to
957the same value as .suspend() (and .freeze() and .poweroff()).
958
959The SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS can be used inside of a declaration of struct
960dev_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
962be pointed to by the .resume(), .thaw(), and .restore() members.
963
9643.2. Device Runtime Power Management
965------------------------------------
966In addition to providing device power management callbacks PCI device drivers
967are responsible for controlling the runtime power management (runtime PM) of
968their devices.
969
970The PCI device runtime PM is optional, but it is recommended that PCI device
971drivers implement it at least in the cases where there is a reliable way of
972verifying that the device is not used (like when the network cable is detached
973from an Ethernet adapter or there are no devices attached to a USB controller).
974
975To support the PCI runtime PM the driver first needs to implement the
976runtime_suspend() and runtime_resume() callbacks. It also may need to implement
977the runtime_idle() callback to prevent the device from being suspended again
978every time right after the runtime_resume() callback has returned
979(alternatively, the runtime_suspend() callback will have to check if the
980device should really be suspended and return -EAGAIN if that is not the case).
981
982The runtime PM of PCI devices is disabled by default. It is also blocked by
983pci_pm_init() that runs the pm_runtime_forbid() helper function. If a PCI
984driver implements the runtime PM callbacks and intends to use the runtime PM
985framework provided by the PM core and the PCI subsystem, it should enable this
986feature by executing the pm_runtime_enable() helper function. However, the
987driver should not call the pm_runtime_allow() helper function unblocking
988the runtime PM of the device. Instead, it should allow user space or some
989platform-specific code to do that (user space can do it via sysfs), although
990once it has called pm_runtime_enable(), it must be prepared to handle the
991runtime 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
993pm_runtime_allow() to be called via sysfs before the driver is loaded, so in
994fact the driver has to be prepared to handle the runtime PM of the device as
995soon as it calls pm_runtime_enable().]
996
997The runtime PM framework works by processing requests to suspend or resume
998devices, or to check if they are idle (in which cases it is reasonable to
999subsequently request that they be suspended). These requests are represented
1000by work items put into the power management workqueue, pm_wq. Although there
1001are a few situations in which power management requests are automatically
1002queued by the PM core (for example, after processing a request to resume a
1003device the PM core automatically queues a request to check if the device is
1004idle), device drivers are generally responsible for queuing power management
1005requests for their devices. For this purpose they should use the runtime PM
1006helper functions provided by the PM core, discussed in
1007Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt.
1008
1009Devices can also be suspended and resumed synchronously, without placing a
1010request into pm_wq. In the majority of cases this also is done by their
1011drivers that use helper functions provided by the PM core for this purpose.
1012

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

2778. Implementation note: user namespaces
278
279User namespaces are intended to be hierarchical. But they are currently
280only partially implemented. Each of those has ramifications for CFS.
281
282First, since user namespaces are hierarchical, the /sys/kernel/uids
283presentation is inadequate. Eventually we will likely want to use sysfs
284tagging to provide private views of /sys/kernel/uids within each user
285namespace.
286
287Second, the hierarchical nature is intended to support completely
288unprivileged use of user namespaces. So if using user groups, then
289we want the users in a user namespace to be children of the user
290who created it.
291
292That is currently unimplemented. So instead, every user in a new
293user namespace will receive 1024 shares just like any user in the
294initial user namespace. Note that at the moment creation of a new
295user namespace requires each of CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_SETUID, and
296CAP_SETGID.

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

1830Filter commands
1831---------------
1832
1833A few commands are supported by the set_ftrace_filter interface.
1834Trace commands have the following format:
1835
1836<function>:<command>:<parameter>
1837
1838The 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

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

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
77Send 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.

448 Support for the 7715's parallel port is enabled by a separate option, which
449 will not appear unless parallel port support is first enabled at the top-level
450 of the Device Drivers config menu. Currently only compatibility mode is
451 supported on the parallel port (no ECP/EPP).
452
453 TODO:
454 - Implement ECP/EPP modes for the parallel port.
455 - Baud rates higher than 115200 are currently broken.
456 - Devices with a single serial port based on the Moschip MCS7703 may work
457 with this driver with a simple addition to the usb_device_id table. I
458 don't have one of these devices, so I can't say for sure.

612struct v4l2_fh
613--------------
614
615struct v4l2_fh provides a way to easily keep file handle specific data
616that is used by the V4L2 framework. Using v4l2_fh is optional for
617drivers.
618
619The users of v4l2_fh (in the V4L2 framework, not the driver) know
620whether a driver uses v4l2_fh as its file->private_data pointer by
621testing the V4L2_FL_USES_V4L2_FH bit in video_device->flags.
622
623Useful functions:
624
625- v4l2_fh_init()
626
627 Initialise the file handle. This *MUST* be performed in the driver's
628 v4l2_file_operations->open() handler.
629
630- v4l2_fh_add()
631
632 Add a v4l2_fh to video_device file handle list. May be called after
633 initialising the file handle.
634
635- v4l2_fh_del()
636
637 Unassociate the file handle from video_device(). The file handle
638 exit function may now be called.
639
640- v4l2_fh_exit()
641
642 Uninitialise the file handle. After uninitialisation the v4l2_fh
643 memory can be freed.
644
645struct v4l2_fh is allocated as a part of the driver's own file handle
646structure and is set to file->private_data in the driver's open
647function by the driver. Drivers can extract their own file handle
648structure by using the container_of macro. Example:
649
650struct my_fh {
651 int blah;
652 struct v4l2_fh fh;
653};
654
655...
656
657int my_open(struct file *file)
658{
659 struct my_fh *my_fh;
660 struct video_device *vfd;
661 int ret;
662
663 ...
664
665 ret = v4l2_fh_init(&my_fh->fh, vfd);
666 if (ret)
667 return ret;
668
669 v4l2_fh_add(&my_fh->fh);
670
671 file->private_data = &my_fh->fh;
672
673 ...
674}
675
676int my_release(struct file *file)
677{
678 struct v4l2_fh *fh = file->private_data;
679 struct my_fh *my_fh = container_of(fh, struct my_fh, fh);
680
681 ...
682}
683
684V4L2 events
685-----------
686
687The V4L2 events provide a generic way to pass events to user space.
688The driver must use v4l2_fh to be able to support V4L2 events.
689
690Useful functions:
691
692- v4l2_event_alloc()
693
694 To use events, the driver must allocate events for the file handle. By
695 calling the function more than once, the driver may assure that at least n
696 events in total have been allocated. The function may not be called in
697 atomic context.
698
699- v4l2_event_queue()
700
701 Queue events to video device. The driver's only responsibility is to fill
702 in the type and the data fields. The other fields will be filled in by
703 V4L2.
704
705- v4l2_event_subscribe()
706
707 The video_device->ioctl_ops->vidioc_subscribe_event must check the driver
708 is able to produce events with specified event id. Then it calls
709 v4l2_event_subscribe() to subscribe the event.
710
711- v4l2_event_unsubscribe()
712
713 vidioc_unsubscribe_event in struct v4l2_ioctl_ops. A driver may use
714 v4l2_event_unsubscribe() directly unless it wants to be involved in
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
724Drivers do not initialise events directly. The events are initialised
725through v4l2_fh_init() if video_device->ioctl_ops->vidioc_subscribe_event is
726non-NULL. This *MUST* be performed in the driver's
727v4l2_file_operations->open() handler.
728
729Events are delivered to user space through the poll system call. The driver
730can use v4l2_fh->events->wait wait_queue_head_t as the argument for
731poll_wait().
732
733There are standard and private events. New standard events must use the
734smallest available event type. The drivers must allocate their events from
735their own class starting from class base. Class base is
736V4L2_EVENT_PRIVATE_START + n * 1000 where n is the lowest available number.
737The first event type in the class is reserved for future use, so the first
738available event type is 'class base + 1'.
739
740An example on how the V4L2 events may be used can be found in the OMAP
7413 ISP driver available at <URL:http://gitorious.org/omap3camera> as of
742writing this.

40added, so that drivers can make the call and not worry about whether 40to the closest cell with memory.
41it is running on a NUMA or UMA platform. 41
42This leads to the Linux software view of a NUMA system:
43
44Linux divides the system's hardware resources into multiple software
45abstractions called "nodes". Linux maps the nodes onto the physical cells
46of the hardware platform, abstracting away some of the details for some
47architectures. As with physical cells, software nodes may contain 0 or more
48CPUs, memory and/or IO buses. And, again, memory accesses to memory on
49"closer" nodes--nodes that map to closer cells--will generally experience
50faster access times and higher effective bandwidth than accesses to more
51remote cells.
52
53For some architectures, such as x86, Linux will "hide" any node representing a
54physical cell that has no memory attached, and reassign any CPUs attached to
55that cell to a node representing a cell that does have memory. Thus, on
56these architectures, one cannot assume that all CPUs that Linux associates with
57a given node will see the same local memory access times and bandwidth.
58
59In addition, for some architectures, again x86 is an example, Linux supports
60the emulation of additional nodes. For NUMA emulation, linux will carve up
61the existing nodes--or the system memory for non-NUMA platforms--into multiple
62nodes. Each emulated node will manage a fraction of the underlying cells'
63physical memory. NUMA emluation is useful for testing NUMA kernel and
64application features on non-NUMA platforms, and as a sort of memory resource
65management mechanism when used together with cpusets.
66[see Documentation/cgroups/cpusets.txt]
67
68For each node with memory, Linux constructs an independent memory management
69subsystem, complete with its own free page lists, in-use page lists, usage
70statistics and locks to mediate access. In addition, Linux constructs for
71each memory zone [one or more of DMA, DMA32, NORMAL, HIGH_MEMORY, MOVABLE],
72an ordered "zonelist". A zonelist specifies the zones/nodes to visit when a
73selected zone/node cannot satisfy the allocation request. This situation,
74when a zone has no available memory to satisfy a request, is called
75"overflow" or "fallback".
76
77Because some nodes contain multiple zones containing different types of
78memory, Linux must decide whether to order the zonelists such that allocations
79fall back to the same zone type on a different node, or to a different zone
80type on the same node. This is an important consideration because some zones,
81such as DMA or DMA32, represent relatively scarce resources. Linux chooses
82a default zonelist order based on the sizes of the various zone types relative
83to the total memory of the node and the total memory of the system. The
84default zonelist order may be overridden using the numa_zonelist_order kernel
85boot parameter or sysctl. [see Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt and
86Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt]
87
88By default, Linux will attempt to satisfy memory allocation requests from the
89node to which the CPU that executes the request is assigned. Specifically,
90Linux will attempt to allocate from the first node in the appropriate zonelist
91for the node where the request originates. This is called "local allocation."
92If the "local" node cannot satisfy the request, the kernel will examine other
93nodes' zones in the selected zonelist looking for the first zone in the list
94that can satisfy the request.
95
96Local allocation will tend to keep subsequent access to the allocated memory
97"local" to the underlying physical resources and off the system interconnect--
98as long as the task on whose behalf the kernel allocated some memory does not
99later migrate away from that memory. The Linux scheduler is aware of the
100NUMA topology of the platform--embodied in the "scheduling domains" data
101structures [see Documentation/scheduler/sched-domains.txt]--and the scheduler
102attempts to minimize task migration to distant scheduling domains. However,
103the scheduler does not take a task's NUMA footprint into account directly.
104Thus, under sufficient imbalance, tasks can migrate between nodes, remote
105from their initial node and kernel data structures.
106
107System administrators and application designers can restrict a task's migration
108to improve NUMA locality using various CPU affinity command line interfaces,
109such as taskset(1) and numactl(1), and program interfaces such as
110sched_setaffinity(2). Further, one can modify the kernel's default local
111allocation behavior using Linux NUMA memory policy.
112[see Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.]
113
114System administrators can restrict the CPUs and nodes' memories that a non-
115privileged user can specify in the scheduling or NUMA commands and functions
116using control groups and CPUsets. [see Documentation/cgroups/CPUsets.txt]
117
118On architectures that do not hide memoryless nodes, Linux will include only
119zones [nodes] with memory in the zonelists. This means that for a memoryless
120node the "local memory node"--the node of the first zone in CPU's node's
121zonelist--will not be the node itself. Rather, it will be the node that the
122kernel selected as the nearest node with memory when it built the zonelists.
123So, default, local allocations will succeed with the kernel supplying the
124closest available memory. This is a consequence of the same mechanism that
125allows such allocations to fallback to other nearby nodes when a node that
126does contain memory overflows.
127
128Some kernel allocations do not want or cannot tolerate this allocation fallback
129behavior. Rather they want to be sure they get memory from the specified node
130or get notified that the node has no free memory. This is usually the case when
131a subsystem allocates per CPU memory resources, for example.
132
133A typical model for making such an allocation is to obtain the node id of the
134node to which the "current CPU" is attached using one of the kernel's
135numa_node_id() or CPU_to_node() functions and then request memory from only
136the node id returned. When such an allocation fails, the requesting subsystem
137may revert to its own fallback path. The slab kernel memory allocator is an
138example of this. Or, the subsystem may choose to disable or not to enable
139itself on allocation failure. The kernel profiling subsystem is an example of
140this.
141
142If the architecture supports--does not hide--memoryless nodes, then CPUs
143attached to memoryless nodes would always incur the fallback path overhead
144or some subsystems would fail to initialize if they attempted to allocated
145memory exclusively from a node without memory. To support such
146architectures transparently, kernel subsystems can use the numa_mem_id()
147or cpu_to_mem() function to locate the "local memory node" for the calling or
148specified CPU. Again, this is the same node from which default, local page
149allocations will be attempted.
